| trism | Mikeulus: I believe the service that is queried is in indicator-appmenu and unity handles taking input, make the queries and displaying the results (but I haven't looked extensively), indicator-appmenu-tools also has tools for queries for debugging purposes | 00:00 |

| furrypurs | Should I be using 64-bit Ubuntu if my desktop system 3.25 GiB of RAM. I've read the documentation and askubuntu discussions but the advice is very mixed. What can you guys tell me? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/32bit_and_64bit gives me no reason not to use 64-bit | 00:03 |

| USB_Error | furrypurs: I've always found 64 bit version to work better. | 00:04 |
| L3top | there is no reason to use 64bit IMO if you do not require the RAM, nor dislike the PAE kernel if you do furrypurs. | 00:04 |
| L3top | I have always found the opposite :) so I doubt you will get a consensus furrypurs. Try each. See how they work for you. | 00:05 |

| zack6849 | well i have 200gb allocated, size isnt really an issue | 00:06 |
| Mikeulus | but everyone prefers vim if you get used to the keys | 00:06 |
| zack6849 | but ill look into it | 00:06 |
| L3top | furrypurs: not slower, but more prone to problems furrypurs. I have a lot of systems. I tend to stick with 32 bit and the PAE kernel if needed. | 00:06 |
| zack6849 | Mikeulus, i looked up vim on the software sore | 00:06 |
| zack6849 | i dont see it | 00:06 |
| L3top | gedit is much more advanced than notepad zack6849, but just as easy to use. VI/VIM is a console editor and while I like it, is not intuitive at all. There is a steep learning curve to use it proficiently. | 00:07 |

| USB_Error | I'm thinking of upgrading from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04, but I prefer the gnome interface to unity. Will I have to add gnome to it myself, or will it already be available in the login options? | 00:36 |
| xangua | !nounity | USB_Error | 00:36 |
| ubottu | USB_Error: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:36 |
| JavaKid | Okay. Should I back-up my important files on my hard-drive installed ubuntu and delete it as i will be switching over to vmware player? or just leave it. hard-drive space is not an issue as of yet. | 00:36 |

| ubottu | ymy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:01 |

| ariel__ | /dev/sda7 | 01:21 |
| L3top | lets mount it | 01:21 |
| L3top | mkdir /mnt/ardour | 01:21 |
| L3top | mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/ardour | 01:21 |
| L3top | now we can navigate to /mnt/ardour which is sda7. Is there a file structure there? | 01:22 |
| L3top | ls /mnt/ardour | 01:22 |
| bluekatblues | i just installed 12.04, and i'm experiencing kernel panics when i try to use non-mirrored dual monitors... i'm unsure how to troubleshoot, can anyone help? | 01:23 |
| ariel__ | it says that /dev/sda7 is already mounted | 01:23 |
| ariel__ | or occupied | 01:23 |
| L3top | ok where is it mounted to? | 01:24 |
| L3top | ariel__: umount /dev/sda7 | 01:24 |
| _skpl | L3top, okay, it said the newest version of the driver was already installed. | 01:24 |
| L3top | ariel__: mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/ardour | 01:24 |
| ariel__ | it says that it cant find /dev/sda7 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 01:25 |
| L3top | ... | 01:26 |
| ymy | try $mount | 01:26 |
| ymy | to see where it's mounted | 01:26 |
| ymy | and just go to where it has been mounted | 01:27 |
| ariel__ | i typed $mount but nothing | 01:27 |
| juxta_ | some of my logrotate jobs are attempting to call 'invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate', but it looks like rsyslog has been converted to an upstart job and 'rotate' is not supported. Should I just have the jobs retsrart rsyslog instead? | 01:28 |
| ariel__ | i typed mount and it shows me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144058/ | 01:28 |

| rafnexxx | Saludos a todos en sala | 01:34 |
| rypervenche | Eryn_1983_FL: Sure. | 01:34 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | yeah bad www c jj bad www | 01:34 |
| ariel__ | so? what now? | 01:35 |
| rypervenche | Eryn_1983_FL: Umm, what? | 01:35 |
| hylian | ariel__: need help with something? | 01:36 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | bad network | 01:36 |
| L3top | !bcm43xx | Eryn_1983_FL | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Eryn_1983_FL: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:36 |
| hylian | Eryn_1983_FL: what do you mean by that? | 01:36 |
| ariel__ | yes, i can't write in an ext4 partition | 01:36 |
| L3top | ariel__: I do not know what you have already done to get this working. It sounds like you have edited fstab to mount this thing already. | 01:37 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | lol | 01:37 |
| ariel__ | but | 01:37 |
| ariel__ | i can't acces to it | 01:37 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | high lat network connection .... | 01:37 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | i am out in the woodss | 01:37 |
| L3top | ariel__: you don't write directly to the partition. You mount it, and create a directory structure, and write to the directories with the given permissions needed. | 01:37 |
| ariel__ | aha | 01:38 |
| ariel__ | and how i do that? | 01:38 |
| L3top | ariel__: when we tried to mount it, it said it was already mounted. That sounds like you have been working on this for a while, and just dont know where the mount point you have set following some guide is. | 01:38 |
| ariel__ | there is a way to find out what i have already don? | 01:39 |
| ariel__ | done? | 01:39 |
| ariel__ | because, honestly, i don't have a clue | 01:39 |
| ariel__ | now, when i type umount it says dev/sda7: not mounted | 01:41 |
| L3top | lol... that is a fairly tall order. | 01:41 |
| L3top | ariel__: that is because we already umounted it | 01:41 |
| L3top | ariel__: reboot and come back without doing anything | 01:41 |
| ariel__ | ok | 01:41 |
| ariel__ | seeya | 01:41 |
| ariel__ | and thanks | 01:41 |
| bluekatblues | i just installed 12.04, and i'm experiencing kernel panics when i try to use non-mirrored dual monitors... i'm unsure how to troubleshoot, can anyone help? | 01:43 |

| Eryn_1983_FL | ok um what version is 10.10 of ubuntu again natty? | 01:46 |
| LordOfTime | that's EOL | 01:46 |
| LordOfTime | its maverick | 01:46 |
| LordOfTime | !10.10 | Eryn_1983_FL | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Eryn_1983_FL: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 01:46 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | ok | 01:47 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | can i still get the package i need? | 01:47 |
| ariel__ | so, what now? | 01:49 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | guys i am confused .. where is the dl buton http://lino.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/maverick/multiverse/base/firmware-b43legacy-installer | 01:50 |
| L3top | ariel__: sorry... I am in like 8 different chats... when you want my attention, preface with my name. Just type l and hit tab... will likely come up with me. | 01:55 |
| L3top | now I would like to see a pastebin of mount | 01:55 |
| ariel__ | ok, so i just have to type mount? do i need root privileges? | 01:56 |
| Draugauth | ok running ktorrent locked up ubuntu. Any ideas? | 01:56 |
| L3top | ariel__: no... I do not believe so. | 01:57 |
| ariel__ | ok | 01:57 |
| _skpl | L3top, after i installed the i965-va-driver it said it was already the newset version. any more ideas? | 01:57 |
| ariel__ | ready, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144090/ | 01:57 |
| WHAT_UP | if i said "you want dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda8", would i get a ban? | 01:59 |
| L3top | _skpl: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1745151.html doesn't look good | 02:00 |
| L3top | !warning | 02:00 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 02:00 |
| L3top | WHAT_UP: Now while most people wont have an sda8... why would even bother putting that into chat? | 02:00 |
| zaitzev | running any command without being sure of what it does is russian roulette. | 02:01 |
| WHAT_UP | the previous guy did | 02:01 |
| Draugauth | What would it do? | 02:01 |
| Barroll | Hello any ubuntu users here who happen to use code::blocks? | 02:01 |
| L3top | zaitzev: sometimes newbs hanging out in channel do just that because people are recommending them, they are not typically destructive. It HAS happened, and should not be done here. | 02:02 |
| zaitzev | L3top: true that | 02:02 |
| L3top | WHAT_UP: If I told you the previous guy jumped off a bridge... would you? | 02:02 |
| Barroll | because when i use code:::blocks i am getting this error "Can't create output directory bin/Debug/" | 02:02 |
| WHAT_UP | Draugauth: hint: dd means disk duplicate (or something like it). /dev/urandom generates pseudorandom numbers (under a weak definition of pseudorandom, but whatever). /dev/sda8 is the device the guy has mounted for /. | 02:03 |
| L3top | ariel__: again... I totally missed that... I am in my home channel doing support. You have to use my name. | 02:05 |
| linuxuz3r | so queit | 02:05 |
| linuxuz3r | quiet | 02:05 |
| L3top | ariel__: that shows /dev/sda8 is mounted | 02:06 |
| Barroll | Any ubuntu code::blocks users? I am getting an error that is ubuntu specific | 02:06 |
| L3top | Barroll: /join #codeblocks | 02:07 |
| Barroll | Thank you | 02:08 |
| ariel__ | yes, but the problem i have is to write in sda7 | 02:08 |
| ariel__ | L3top, | 02:08 |
| L3top | ariel__: lets install pastebinit. sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 02:10 |
| L3top | ariel__: once installed please pastebinit /etc/fstab; pastebinit /etc/mtab | 02:10 |
| WHAT_UP | actually, pastebinit is kind of cool | 02:11 |
| ariel__ | ok | 02:11 |
| ariel__ | L3top, i hope i understood | 02:11 |
| WHAT_UP | echo "hi" | pastebinit | pastebinit | pastebinit | pastebinit | 02:12 |
| ariel__ | sudo apt-get install | 02:13 |
| ariel__ | L3top, i've already installed pastebinit | 02:14 |
| ariel__ | now what i supose to do? | 02:14 |
| WHAT_UP | sudo apt-get remove pastebinit | 02:15 |
| L3top | ariel__: I am sorry... I am not sure what you have done, because you arent sure what you have done... and I simply dont have the time to hold your hand through this... though normally I am happy to do so... my code is blowing up all over my main chan, and I have to attend to it. | 02:15 |
| L3top | do not do what WHAT_UP says to do | 02:15 |
| L3top | he is a destructive troll | 02:15 |
| DasEi | ariel__: I just came in , mind repeating your issue ? | 02:16 |

| coreyo | In gnome3 and gnome classic under ubuntu 12.04, I'm having lock/blanking problems with the lock screen after a resume and/or monitor shuttoff. It happens on both of my computers. Does anyone know anything? | 02:26 |
| moosetrapped | this is a test | 02:26 |
| moosetrapped | sorry guys | 02:26 |
| DasEi | moosetrapped: pong | 02:27 |
| DasEi | coreyo: can have different reasons, first enough swap allocated ? then syslog/dmesg checked ? | 02:28 |
| DasEi | coreyo: for succesful hibernating there is the thumb rule swap = double of installed ram, as ram dumps there while on hibernate | 02:29 |
| Vitamin-D | yawn | 02:30 |
| Vitamin-D | Just woke up. | 02:30 |

| coreyo | Dasda, I'm not hibernating at all. It appears to happen on any screen lock, even if it's just a 10-minute later monitor blank | 02:32 |
| coreyo | trism, thanks, looking now | 02:32 |
| DasEi | coreyo: ok, and also check dmesg | tail and syslog after that appears, next youu can lock the screen from cmd-line to see possible information | 02:33 |
| coreyo | trism, I think that both of those bug describe the same thing, and I think that is exactly what's happening to me | 02:34 |
| DasEi | johnwerneken: ask right away | 02:34 |
| coreyo | also looks like it might not be a gnome-specific thing at all | 02:35 |
| coreyo | I can't stand unity, so I replaced it immediately | 02:35 |

| icequeen | i've tried multiple pairs of headphones that work on other devices, so the problem is software | 03:12 |
| ubuntux | try getting some new drivers for your audio devices through package manager | 03:14 |
| xangua | icequeen: did you set your headphones as default in the Sound Menu¿ | 03:15 |
| icequeen | ubuntux how do I do that? | 03:16 |
| ubuntux | top left "ubuntu" button > search for package manager | 03:17 |
| ubuntux | called synaptics | 03:17 |
| icequeen | ubuntux don't have it. should i download it? | 03:17 |
| ubuntux | then search for audio drivers, or even try something related to headphones or jack sensing | 03:18 |
| ubuntux | you can try and install from web | 03:18 |
| ubuntux | Synaptic Package Manager | 03:18 |
| ubuntux | what ver you running? | 03:18 |
| ubuntux | you should have some form of a package manager already | 03:18 |
| icequeen | ubuntux i'm running Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin 64-bit | 03:20 |
| icequeen | ubuntux: no worries though, downloading Synaptic now | 03:21 |
| ubuntux | coo | 03:21 |
| ubuntux | yeah sniff around in there for some driver updates | 03:21 |
| ubuntux | could be jack sensing | 03:22 |

| jagginess | root_, dual boot on mac? | 03:50 |
| jagginess | !root | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:50 |

| azend | TheMadDrizzle: open unity, type "System Monitor" and open the app | 03:55 |
| jagginess | and keep talking about offtopic, no wonder they banned you from perl | 03:55 |
| jagginess | lol | 03:55 |
| azend | Then press processes and then click on the Memory tab to sort by ram usage | 03:55 |
| AcidRain | jagginess, nah. im just mad right now. | 03:55 |
| johnwerneken | @Acidrain hope you feel better /unmad soon | 03:56 |
| TheMadDrizzle | azend : Thanks. Im just looking at my new conky install and it seems like it's a bit high to just idle | 03:56 |
| root_ | hmm | 03:56 |
| AcidRain | i will. lol | 03:56 |
| NastyNaz | how do I search all files for the term 'foobar'? | 03:58 |
| johnwerneken | acidrain do you have time and inclination to suggest how i fix the boot mess i have? | 03:58 |
| NastyNaz | ps ax | 03:58 |
| NastyNaz | oops | 03:58 |
| johnwerneken | acidrain: do you have time and inclination to suggest how i fix the boot mess i have? | 03:58 |
| AcidRain | johnwerneken, well i couldnt tell you the first thing about how to move grub, or even if you can. but tell me exactlly what is happening, and ill see if i can help you | 03:59 |
| jagginess | inclination lol | 03:59 |
| jagginess | sounds like a math formula | 03:59 |
| AcidRain | lol | 04:00 |
| jagginess | AcidRain, he wants to fix his Windows 8. | 04:00 |
| AcidRain | :/ | 04:00 |
| AcidRain | serious? | 04:00 |
| johnwerneken | what was happening is this box got win7 then various win8 beta and was loading with win8 providing a multi-boot menu, much like the one in grub except it displays as if it were a gui, all was fine | 04:00 |
| jagginess | ^. | 04:00 |
| johnwerneken | no my win8 works it just is grub that is lost | 04:00 |
| AcidRain | johnwerneken, id google man. its been about 5 yrs since i seen a win computer. last win i used was xp | 04:01 |
| AcidRain | and it wasnt a win. but it was the closest thing from a fail | 04:01 |
| AcidRain | ;) | 04:01 |
| jagginess | ehehe | 04:01 |
| paulk7 | johnwerneken supergrubdisk on live Cd with Ultimate Boot CD | 04:01 |
| jagginess | me thinks paragon rescue kit is a free tool | 04:01 |
| IlikeMoose | i have a question about cloud computing...aside from being able to store your data offsite, does cloud computing allow you to set up stuff like using the processors from multiple machines for compiling/rendering stuff kinda similar to a beowulf cluster? | 04:02 |
| jagginess | it's best to go linux multiboot | 04:02 |
| johnwerneken | installed ubuntu twice, each time ubuntu ran fine as did win8 loader and the win8 choice...win8 loader and other choices under it win7 and win8 server would run also but AFTER running win7 the partitions are renumbered or so says bootinfoscript | 04:02 |
| johnwerneken | so I end up in grub rescue and can load ubuntu only by setting prefix and root and loading into normal...insmod normal then normal and it will run ubuntu only | 04:03 |
| johnwerneken | if I use any of the (hd0,whatever) options besides the only where ubuntu is it says unknown file system in grub resuce | 04:03 |
| johnwerneken | that's the stoey | 04:04 |
| johnwerneken | story | 04:04 |
| paulk7 | johnwerneken supergrubdisk | 04:04 |
| johnwerneken | ok i can look for supergrubdisk | 04:04 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, gpt? | 04:04 |
| L3top | johnwerneken: have you run update-grub yet? | 04:04 |
| johnwerneken | don't know gpt unless its get-the-point | 04:04 |
| johnwerneken | not run any grub except set prefix, root, insmod normal, normal as i don't know much about grub. | 04:05 |
| jagginess | ubuntu can install on gpt, but it fails to see a reserved grub partition has been setup | 04:05 |
| === Kiewii is now known as kiewii|sleep | ||
| jagginess | nm | 04:05 |
| johnwerneken | L3top: is update-grub a command line entry in terminal? | 04:05 |
| johnwerneken | don't know what gpt is then... | 04:06 |
| === StahlGrau is now known as jacqrypt | ||
| L3top | yes johnwerneken | 04:06 |
| johnwerneken | ok will try... | 04:06 |
| L3top | johnwerneken: sudo update-grub | 04:07 |
| johnwerneken | ah i thought it prolly needed sudo lol | 04:07 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, parted /dev/<DRIVE> p will say if its gpt or not. | 04:07 |
| johnwerneken | ah i'll do that also | 04:07 |
| cc11rocks | HDMI not working - http://pastebin.com/BBNx9x53 | 04:08 |
| paulk7 | just an info: there's a chance to back up xorg settings in a system without /etc/X11/xorg.conf? (ubuntu 12.04 64bit) | 04:08 |
| cc11rocks | Add. Info : It's running 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 | 04:09 |
| jagginess | paulk7, xorg doesnt need xorg.conf because it autodetects on launch | 04:09 |
| cc11rocks | Sorry about the Java syntax highlighting. I forgot to change it to regs. | 04:10 |
| johnwerneken | jagginess parted shows sda listing 1-9 mostly ntfs with one ext4and a linux-swap | 04:11 |
| paulk7 | jagginess so, if catalyst installation goes wrong ubuntu auto repair himself? | 04:11 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, i guess it says "msdos" instead of gpt | 04:13 |
| johnwerneken | L3top running update-grub | 04:13 |
| jagginess | !ati | 04:13 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 04:14 |
| johnwerneken | yea the set prefix and set root have to reference (hd0,msdos7) to get to grub normal | 04:14 |
| johnwerneken | the updater is setting it the same way i did...using vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic when initially i think it was 3.2.0-14 | 04:16 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, grub fails to install to the mbr? | 04:16 |
| paulk7 | jagginess https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI say: Save backup copy of xorg.conf in case this doesn't work. sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BAK | 04:16 |
| jagginess | paulk7, it's fine skip that step | 04:17 |
| jagginess | (since there's not a default created one for you) | 04:17 |
| johnwerneken | i think it did on install at least there were no issues UNTIL from boot I got grub menu chose win8 got windows multi-boot chose win7 had to let it reboot once (fail) and do a cold shutdown and cold restart it went into win7 and since then grub goes into grub rescue...the windows changed something that messed it up | 04:17 |
| johnwerneken | ah update is done | 04:18 |
| gunarm | if I do software RAID, is it dependant on the OS, so that if I have to upgrade my ubuntu (say after the LTS runs out) my array will get pwned? | 04:18 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, you'll have to rtfm m$ docs and see what kind of protection if any has to do with an altering mbr sector | 04:18 |
| johnwerneken | i kinda like reading the FINE manuals lol | 04:18 |
| paulk7 | jagginess so you just say that nothing can't go wrong, ubuntu will start X also with wrong fglrx installation.... | 04:18 |
| johnwerneken | it is possible that grub will work now as the updater reset it the same way i did in grub rescue... | 04:19 |
| johnwerneken | grub rescue is an unforgiving environment for 40 year ms veteran novice at unix/linux/ubunu lol | 04:20 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, if you were using gpt with efi hardware your problem would be much more difficult. minimally you should be using grub2, you use update-grub2, then grub-install /dev/<hd device> | 04:21 |
| johnwerneken | i suppose the ms command line is similar to those starting from linux knowledge...even if it is based on systemV also | 04:21 |
| jagginess | johnwerneken, you're on your own because Win8 is what you want to boot and that must have some kind of new protection schemes.. | 04:21 |
| johnwerneken | it may be grub2 i don't know its whatever ubuntu put on here as far as i know | 04:21 |
| johnwerneken | i don't care what os it thinks is the default as they all claim to offer multi-boot i'm jusdt not yet very intelligent about grub | 04:22 |
| johnwerneken | not yet anyway lol | 04:22 |
| johnwerneken | i think i will look for supergrubdisk... | 04:23 |
| jagginess | paulk7, ya.. often if a driver fails to load, X will backdrop to one that is working.. but if X loads with a partially working driver, the X session can freeze.. if the X session freezes, look in the log for the type of errors and determine if the gfx driver is causing it | 04:23 |
| jagginess | gunarm, yes. there's 3 types of raids.. (actaully there's many RAID #/#, but this is a different context)-- basically 1-hardware,2-software, and 3-fakeraid.. -- softwareraid is 100% controlled by the OS | 04:25 |
| jagginess | gunarm, the metadata is stored outside the OS.. which is why you can mount a raid set from a rescue cd | 04:26 |
| wubino | I am trying to import a gpg key but get this error: Cannot write to `-' (Broken pipe). | 04:26 |
| jagginess | !wubi | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 04:27 |
| jagginess | i dont like wubi :/ | 04:27 |
| wubino | This is the line I am using: sudo wget -O - http://apt.mucommander.com/apt.key |apt-key add | 04:27 |
| gunarm | jagginess, that seems like a contradiction, so if the metadata is outside the OS, I should be able to upgrade/foramt+replace my OS and keep my RAID array. Is that true? | 04:27 |
| jagginess | gunarm, /dev/md0 gets mounted as / | 04:28 |
| jagginess | gunarm, ^ | 04:28 |
| jagginess | gunarm, if you upgrade from say a cd, the cd, has to recognize the metadata there and mount /dev/md0 from the raid set to see "/" .. | 04:28 |
| jagginess | gunarm, i never upgraded from cd, but the .iso you'll need to use is the "alternate" iso.. | 04:29 |
| wubino | wubi is a starting place for any windows user, eventually they will switch over to a real installation | 04:29 |
| paulk7 | jagginess thank you very much for info, I'll do tha way. | 04:29 |
| gunarm | jagginess, are you saying if the OS is ON the raid array that it would mount to "/"? I have my OS on its own SSD | 04:30 |
| gunarm | seperate from the array | 04:30 |
| paulk7 | bye | 04:30 |
| jagginess | paulk7, bye good luck | 04:31 |
| jagginess | gunarm, then if you mount a reduced array set, it has be usable depending on the RAID type.. (like you have the least requirements met) | 04:31 |
| jagginess | gunarm, you can install on a reduced array set and then add harddrives later.. | 04:32 |
| AcidRain | yay i finished my program | 04:32 |
| jagginess | gunarm, but you'll have to see /dev/md0# for "/" first.. | 04:32 |
| jagginess | gunarm, you don't install to /dev/sda1 or something like.. always /dev/md# ... | 04:32 |
| AcidRain | and to anyone who is in #perl. u see that every webserver on the net is still in tact, so fuck u | 04:32 |
| jagginess | gunarm, you don't install to /dev/sda1 or something like like that .. BUT always something like-> /dev/md# ... | 04:33 |
| jagginess | !ops AcidRain | 04:33 |
| AcidRain | jagginess, u actually should use the SSID | 04:33 |
| jagginess | troll is troll. | 04:33 |
| AcidRain | oh nvm. i thought we was talking about mounting | 04:33 |
| con-man | does anyone know why the latest flash update would make videos (ie youtube) play out of sync with regards to audio/video | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | AcidRain: Please watch your language and stay on topic when talking in #ubuntu. | 04:35 |
| jagginess | gunarm, you'd use not the standard desktop iso of course | 04:35 |
| con-man | I ask here cause my windows box is fine | 04:35 |
| gunarm | jagginess, thank you | 04:40 |

| goob | ubugtu | 06:01 |
| th0r | codemagician_: it is part of the ssh package | 06:02 |
| Kihokki | I think you need dual layer dvd to burn it. | 06:02 |
| rypervenche | codemagician_: openssh-server and openssh-client | 06:03 |
| codemagician_ | th0r: so I don't need to install it, I just change the shell | 06:03 |
| superbbbfab | but now brasero doesn't start | 06:03 |
| Kihokki | You can also try booting via usb :p | 06:03 |
| Kihokki | Plug your usb in, install and use Unetbooting and let it do the magic for you. Then boot from usb. | 06:03 |
| histo | Kihokki: how did I do what? | 06:04 |
| codemagician_ | th0r, rypervenche thanks guys | 06:05 |
| Kihokki | histo, Make java and chromium work properly | 06:05 |
| histo | Kihokki: I've never noticed a problem with it | 06:05 |
| Kihokki | Which java? Sun or openjdk? | 06:05 |
| Kihokki | Java works only with firefox :/ | 06:06 |
| === codemagician_ is now known as codemagician | ||
| superbbbfab | brasero does'nt start... | 06:06 |
| loganlee___ | Kihokki, jdk is for development. u only need a jre | 06:06 |
| histo | Kihokki: I've never seen a problem with either openjdk or sun-java on chromium | 06:06 |
| rypervenche | Kihokki: Chromium works fine for me with openJDK | 06:06 |

| vectorshelve | well. my monitor had a loose contant issue and then when I re connected it properly, the system doesnt detect the monitor anymore in the monitors options.. it says Monitor: Unknown | 06:08 |
| BlackWeb | Would anyone know how to configure a the Xserver in Ubuntu 12.04 Server, Which mainly i installed it on a smaller monitor and then when I connected it to a larger one then the command line image in like all smeared to were it looks like the text is ontop of itselfs and a little off center from it self, is there anyway to reconfigure the Xserver to correct this problem, Which the card is a nvidia Graphic card and i installed the nv | 06:08 |
| BlackWeb | idia-173 driver for it but it doesnt seem to be using it | 06:08 |
| ferni | the chromiun 12.04 has is older and java works with it.. | 06:08 |
| BlackWeb | Or would you configure the monitor in server | 06:09 |
| codemagician | still can't find the scponly shell for 12.04 LTS Server? | 06:10 |
| th0r | codemagician: What are you trying to do? scp is a function of ssh, and when you ssh into a server you get whatever shell you have running on it. | 06:11 |
| codemagician | th0r: I'm trying to make an account for a 3rd party developer so they can use SCP to update files in their home directory only | 06:12 |
| codemagician | th0r: i don't want them to have a bash shell | 06:12 |
| th0r | codemagician: I THINK you can set up ssh to chroot the user into his home folder, but he will still have a bash shell. | 06:13 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: did you hot-swap the monitor, rather than switching while the server was powered off? What you describe suggests that the text consoles haven't registered that the monitor has a different native resolution. That isn't the X server, but may be console-setup. | 06:13 |
| luftikuss_ | [gnome-shell 3.4.1-0ubuntu2] '~$ beep-debug; [DEBUG] 1 times 200 ms beeps (100 delay between, 0 delay after) @ 440.00 Hz'. But why does it not produce any sound? '~$ aplay ...' does produce a sound though. | 06:14 |
| codemagician | th0r: yes i've done this. but i want to give them a scponly shell | 06:14 |
| BlackWeb | ya to where i installed it using a smaller monitor and now then its like the command line is all smeared on larger monitor, so just run the console-setup command ? | 06:15 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: I think that is the correct thing to do | 06:15 |
| BlackWeb | I just tried nvidia-xconfig and rebooted it and now it looks terrible, its just a white screen, Alright I'll try that | 06:15 |

| codemagician | histo: shall I ignore that warning then? | 06:21 |

| DeltaM | Luftikuss_: The ubuntu hardware list only has one listing of Realtekk. The alsa list of supported cards is a little confusing, and it seems to be extremely limited for PCI-Express info. (except the cards costing 200$ and up) | 06:25 |

| tommy34 | histo, it tells me port 80 isnt even open | 06:26 |
| histo | drcode: I doubt you'll find that kind of space online for free | 06:26 |
| luftikuss_ | DeltaM, I am sorry that I cannot help you any further. (My sound cards do work all right.) | 06:26 |
| histo | tommy34: doyou have a web server running? | 06:26 |

| tommy34 | histo, no just a standard desktop setup | 06:27 |
| DeltaM | Luftikuss_ What soundcards do you use? | 06:27 |
| tommy34 | histo, it says port 80 is blocked, yet that is http and i can browse the net... | 06:27 |
| histo | tommy34: then nothing is there to answer on port 80 | 06:27 |
| histo | tommy34: you send out requests on port 80 but don't accept incoming connections on it | 06:27 |
| drcode | ok | 06:27 |

| DeltaM | Luftikuss_ : That explains it. Thank you for answering me :) | 06:28 |
| luftikuss_ | DeltaM, You could repeat your question here in this channel at evening GMT times when there will be here a larger audience. | 06:29 |
| crimsonmane_ | ok... "fdisk -l" is supposed to list partition table, or in other words according to the manual it is supposed to show us what sd# a device is plugged in at, such as a usb flash drive. what am i doing wrong, or is there a prefered CLI way to get the same info? | 06:31 |
| tommy34 | histo, even enabling dmz wont work... any ideas? | 06:31 |
| histo | tommy34: What port are you trying to forward and why? | 06:32 |
| tommy34 | histo, 57897 for a game server | 06:32 |
| tommy34 | histo, i can manually change the port in game to another... | 06:32 |
| histo | tommy34: okay on your router configure port 57897 to point to the ip of your game server | 06:32 |
| histo | tommy34: I don't think you understand how to port forward | 06:33 |
| tommy34 | histo, you cant forward ports to the ip of your game server, it has to forward to the internal addy | 06:33 |
| tommy34 | histo, and no, i do know, like i said , same setup works flawless in windows | 06:34 |
| tommy34 | histo, you cant even change the first 3 octets of the ip in the router settings, they are all static to 192.168.1.x | 06:34 |
| tommy34 | histo, so maybe you dont know... | 06:34 |
| ferni | crimsonmane_: fdisk does not understand gpt disks if you have one.. try parted -l | 06:35 |
| timfrost | tommy34: are you dual-booting the PC that runs the game server? If so, the game server won't be there when you boot to the other OS | 06:36 |
| yoophglup | is there a small linux version Which does not have a desktop environment? command line only ? | 06:36 |
| histo | tommy34: yes on your router forward all traffic to port 57897 to the local ip of your gameserver | 06:37 |
| bazhang | !mini | yoophglup | 06:37 |
| ubottu | yoophglup: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

| FireStorms | Hello, I'm running a site on a shared-host which does not support crontab. So instead I had the idea of a poor man's cron, where the cron jobs would run once the site gets a visitor - but this ideas rubbish. So, I'm wondering if there's a script I can use on my UBUNTU OS to call a URL to process cron jobs on my shared-hosting site? :) | 06:37 |
| histo | tommy34: any requests from the outside world to your public ip will be forward to that internal machine. That's the way port forwarding works | 06:37 |
| tommy34 | histo, it is forwarded properly... thats not the problem... | 06:38 |
| histo | tommy34: then what is the problem? | 06:38 |
| tommy34 | histo, i think thats the problem youre not listening to my problem | 06:38 |
| crimsonmane_ | ferni: problem solved. "sudo fdisk -l" | 06:38 |

| Guest50808 | hi can anybody tell me how to edit my .vimrc file with clear steps | 07:41 |
| islandmonkey | Candlehawk: I think the bootarg part wants some sort of path to init, not bootarg. | 07:41 |
| Candlehawk | islandmonkey: Sorry, looked like a boot option to me, like at the grub page. Ah well. | 07:42 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: Do you have a live CD somewhere? | 07:43 |
| mhahe | I think so | 07:43 |
| === xazax is now known as Guest8826 | ||
| islandmonkey | mhahe: It doesn't matter what Linux distro it is, but put it in to the computer and boot it up (like if you were installing it although you aren't) | 07:45 |

| BlackWeb | Does anyone know where X looks for the xorg.conf file I've created a conf file and when i reboot then I've b | 07:47 |
| BlackWeb | boot up and it worked once but its saying it cant locate file | 07:47 |
| BlackWeb | so using defaults | 07:48 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: OK, go to the file manager | 07:51 |
| geirha | BlackWeb: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:52 |
| mhahe | I just found the CD | 07:52 |
| W4sp | Guest50808: You can edit .vimrc with vim itself. vi ~/.vimrc . Also, see directory ~/.vim | 07:52 |
| W4sp | BlackWeb: xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/ | 07:53 |
| mhahe | I booted off of it. Should I check disc for defects? | 07:53 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: If /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists, then X will use that. (I have:-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83 Apr 11 22:03 /etc/X11/xorg.conf). Where (and with what permissions) did you create the file? | 07:53 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: Nevermind about any of that. Just boot right up | 07:53 |
| geirha | Guest50808: You can copy the system vimrc to your homedir, then edit that. It has comments explaining what the various options mean. cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc; vim ~/.vimrc | 07:54 |
| BlackWeb | I placed the config file there and when i reboot the it worked once and now its not working I looked in the log file and its saying its unable to locate and open xorg.conf.new so load from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 07:55 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: Then once you have, go to the file manager, find your partition with Ubuntu on it, go into /sbin and find init | 07:55 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: I just wanted to confirm it is there | 07:56 |
| BlackWeb | Which i tried copying that file to /boot, /, /root/, /etc/X11/, /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 07:56 |
| mhahe | Kk by choosing the they ubuntu option from live CD? | 07:56 |
| BlackWeb | the permissions i have on it are rw-r--r-- | 07:56 |
| mhahe | Try* | 07:56 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: Were you working off a live CD at some part of this process? | 07:56 |
| W4sp | BlackWeb: Where does 'unable to locate and open xorg.conf.new' come from? It shoud refer to xorg.conf. | 07:57 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: Reference to xorg.conf.new suggests X reconfiguration during a software update | 07:58 |
| BlackWeb | No mainly was using a smaller monitor when i did the initial install of the system and then moved to a larger monitor and the graphics are all smeared, in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file then it just says (EE) Unable to locate/open config file: "xorg.conf.new" Which it doesnt say where its looking | 07:59 |
| BlackWeb | I was working with it and was able to get it to work once but ya | 08:00 |
| strav | he. small question about software raid: I have 3 drives mounted in a software raid-5 array, and then, I have fourth drive (ssd) that controls and maintain this array. Now what is this fourth drive fail? Is raid structure/meta-data present somewhere on my raid drives so that, when mounted properly I should be able to reconstruct the array without any problem or should I backup some files on my ssd to ensure I'll always be able to rebuild the arra | 08:00 |
| strav | y? | 08:00 |
| islandmonkey | mhahe: Yes | 08:00 |
| timfrost | BlackWeb: that may have been testing a new configuration when using the X config tools. The directory would still be /etc/X11/ | 08:01 |

| dolv | crimsonmane_, thanks I'll try | 08:22 |
| Mordio | crimsonmane_, i think that is not the problem. i have a working system as long as i don't want to upgrade anything. as soon as i do, it tells me, that i have to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" first. but when i do this, there is an error and my whole file-system becomes read-only and i can only reboot | 08:23 |
| timfrost | luftikuss_: the beep command depends on the legacy PC bell. If there isn't an interface to that device in the kernel, then you will *never* get a sound from beep | 08:23 |
| * Mordio is also using 10.04 | 08:24 | |
| freddiiii | Are there are any default monitor tools available in Ubuntu? | 08:24 |

| freezir1 | DrManhattan: did u install the headers for the 3.2.0-23 kernel? | 09:27 |
| DrManhattan | Yes. | 09:28 |
| DrManhattan | I installed linux-headers, build-essential, and autoconf | 09:28 |
| DrManhattan | and i verified the linux-headers for my kernel are there. | 09:28 |
| MonkeyDust | DrManhattan the current kernel is ...-29, what ubuntu version are you using? | 09:28 |
| DrManhattan | 12.04 | 09:29 |
| DrManhattan | and of course when I try to apt-get upgrade, it says the linux-generic and linux-image-generic are being held back, and --force-yes doesn't work | 09:31 |
| DrManhattan | so how do I actually upgrade now? | 09:32 |
| DrManhattan | this is the kind of manure that makes linux a headache | 09:32 |
| freezir1 | DrManhattan: have u tried apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:32 |
| MonkeyDust | DrManhattan other issues make other OS's a headache | 09:33 |
| DrManhattan | thanks freezir | 09:33 |
| MonkeyDust | DrManhattan sometimes my kernel does not upgrade with the cli, but it does with the gui | 09:33 |
| DrManhattan | MonkeyDust, maybe, but it's a real PITA when the things you learn from one version have all been redefined for the next | 09:33 |
| ThinkT510 | !dist-upgrade | 09:33 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 09:33 |

| JacKnife_ | greets, i'm having an issue with squirrelmail on 12.04 i hope someone has seen - I click send on my compose page and it never goes anyway | 10:30 |
| Dom__ | I'm tinkering round with Xen for the first time: So I install ubuntu server, then setup Xen. Then it says I have to change grub to boot into Xen. So if it's booting something different, does that mean I can uninstall the ubuntu server I used to install Xen....? | 10:31 |
| JacKnife_ | the mail does get sent but the page never changes, its stuck on compose until i browse to my inbox or something | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Tominator: use no-ip and set the interface to use as the tun one, you can then use the name you set with no-ip | 10:31 |
| Dom__ | JackKnife: have you tried using a different browser? | 10:31 |
| caddoo | Is there a way to make my terminal use a different theme when SSH is being used. | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Tominator: you can install noip2 to repeatedly update the IP to name pair so that it is always correct | 10:31 |
| caddoo | Just to be extra sure that im not executing commands on a remote machine | 10:32 |
| JacKnife_ | tried ie and it says: cannot display this type of content in a frame, gives youthe option to open it in a window and its the same compose page i started with | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | caddoo: why not set a different PS1 colour for the remote systems, that's what I do | 10:32 |
| JacKnife_ | oh, gnome is the other browser i used | 10:32 |
| JacKnife_ | sorry, long night | 10:32 |

| koko_ | Hello, is anyone able to offer any help with how enable a wireless connection please? I've been trying for hours and I'm close to throwing my laptop out of the window | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: what wifi chip does it use? | 10:46 |
| koko_ | How can I check? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: how have you been trying 'for hurs' without knowing the wifi chip!? | 10:47 |
| koko_ | sorry I'm not very knowledgeable | 10:47 |
| JacKnife_ | Dom_: you the man! that was it, i commented that line out and now it works! | 10:47 |

| cfhowlett | koko_: calm down. | 10:48 |
| koko_ | On the panel in unity, the "enable wireless" is greyed out. | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: if you run: sudo lshw -C network the product line will tell you the chip, what is it? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: also do you dual boot? | 10:48 |

| koko_ | Actionparsnip: Yes I dual boot | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: can you give the output of the commands I gave please, the lshw command will be large but we only need one line | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | koko_: did you disable the ability for the wireless chip to wake up the system as well as disable power management. This can affect how the device works in other OSes because windows is garbage | 10:50 |

| ActionParsnip | sp4rc: yep, 32bit is recommended. | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sp4rc: its because the 32bt will work on any desktop processor, the default kernel is PAE too so can access up to 64Gb RAM, remember, Ubuntu is aimed at non-technical users so recommending 32bit will guarantee a success | 11:15 |

| th0r | dfour: you will get more answers if you state the problem | 11:59 |
| dfour | Ok, it's my first time with linux so i'm a bit lost. i tried to install with a cd but it kept freezing when i would run it without the cd so i tried with a usb. first, it gave me an error message, then after trying some of the suggestions on the forum here, it installed fine but now freezes at the purple screen as had happened before | 12:01 |

| dfour | <bazhang> what's md5? | 12:02 |
| bazhang | !md5 | dfour | 12:02 |
| ubottu | dfour: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:02 |
| dfour | ok, i verified it and it said it was fine. i'm going to try the nomdeset solution and see if that works | 12:04 |
| bazhang | dfour, if that fails, consider the alternate installer | 12:04 |
| bazhang | !alternate | dfour | 12:04 |
| ubottu | dfour: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 12:04 |

| ActionParsnip | wilder: is the file stored on an NTFS partition? | 12:15 |
| wilder | yes | 12:15 |
| wilder | it is | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wilder: NTFS cannot hold Linux permissions | 12:15 |

| wilder | ActionParsnip, Thanks that fixed it. | 12:16 |
| wilder | Just had to move it | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wilder: you need to mount the NTFS so it is all executable. If you dual boot, you are not going to be able to run the apps you have installed in Windows using wine, so I wouldn't bother trying | 12:16 |
| koko_ | ActionParsnip: Hi, I just came back to say thanks for your patience and support earlier with regard to my wireless problem. I have resolved the issue now with the commands: rfkill list all; rfkill unblock all. Thank you | 12:19 |

| wilder | dfour, have you played with supergrub before? | 12:26 |
| pkkm | Will the NVidia 300 series drivers be available in 12.04 or do I need to wait for 12.10? | 12:26 |
| dfour | nope, but i'm up for trying new things :-) | 12:27 |
| wilder | dfour, It's a bootdisk for grub. Might have the options you need. Not sure though. | 12:27 |
| dfour | so i need to burn that disk, then try to run it off that? | 12:28 |
| wilder | Yes. | 12:28 |
| wilder | THere is a software called unetbootin that will put it on a flash drive for you | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | pkkm: yes the proprietary driver will drive it | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: hold SHIFT at boot, and you can edit the boot | 12:29 |
| pkkm | ActionParsnip: do you have an estimate when will it happen? | 12:29 |
| auro | need a help guys.. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | pkkm: when whatwill happen? | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | auro: then ask | 12:30 |
| dfour | ActionParsnip: i tried that. it says "Grub loading...", then goes to the ubuntu screen and freezes | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | pkkm , the 295 driver is still the recommended driver for 12.04 , the 302 and 304 are on 12.10 but the 304 has total freeze problems here | 12:30 |
| islandmonkey | !ask | auro | 12:30 |
| ubottu | auro: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 12:30 |

| linuxuz3r | how do i update the ubuntu bootloader | 12:31 |
| dfour | ActionParsnip: i booted from the livecd just to use the OS and could edit from there but i'm not sure if that actually changes it since i'm running it from the disc? if it does change it, then apparently it didn't work anyway | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | auro: do you have another keyboard you can use, you can get logged in then plug in the device and run: dmesg | tail it may give clues | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: you need to chroot | 12:32 |
| auro | yes tried those | 12:32 |
| === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje | ||

| dfour | ActionParsnip: what's that? i'm new to linux, fyi | 12:32 |
| auronandace | !chroot | dfour | 12:33 |
| ubottu | dfour: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: not new to looking online for an explanation though...? | 12:33 |

| ActionParsnip | dfour: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video | 12:33 |
| dfour | ActionParsnip: luckily, the bot will give me the answer before google ;-) | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: the bot doesnt trigger automatically, t was auronandace who made it happen | 12:34 |
| * wilder ponders existence. | 12:34 | |
| dfour | ah, well, in case, now i have the answer | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: instead of immediately askng for clarification of new phrases and words, try the web a little, you'll learn more | 12:34 |
| chimay_1 | nice bot ... | 12:34 |
| dfour | ActionParsnip: i've tried the web to solve this and it's been a long process already | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | chimay_1: she's dead handy | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dfour: how, when youhave only just now heard the term chroot? | 12:35 |
| dfour | ActionParsnip: it's never come up as one of the solutions/problems. on the other hand, i had seen the solution suggested here but hadn't tried it since it didn't quite match the problem i was having | 12:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | dfour, In a terminal type man <any command> to learn about it and it's syntax. | 12:36 |

| chimay_1 | islandmonkey: thx for the tip ;) | 12:42 |
| wilder | pkkm, having that file all over the place is weird to me | 12:42 |
| pkkm | wilder: LastPass needs a premium account for some of the mobile features though | 12:42 |
| pkkm | But for basic usage, the non-premium account is totally sufficient. | 12:43 |
| wilder | Yeah this is pretty cool | 12:43 |

| newcorey | I always wonder where to compile my downloaded programs from source, is it ok to compile them in a custom directory or use some of: /usr/src , /usr/local/src ? | 13:14 |

| Dr_Willis | nadia: if you power off now.. and power on.. it does it? | 13:15 |
| compdoc | Halexander9000, ooops - I thought you meant an IP cam. sorry | 13:15 |
| nadia | Dr_Willis:no just 1 time a day | 13:15 |
| newcorey | jrib: never use /usr/local/src /usr/src what are they purpose? in theory they are for system administrators programs but I never use them | 13:15 |
| nadia | Dr_Willis: anywhere in logs to check whats happening? | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nadia: that makes no sence then.. if you power off for like an hr or 2 then power on, does it do it? | 13:15 |

| newcorey | jrib: thanks | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | nadia: not rebooting.. but actually powering down.. it does not do it if you were to power off now for 5 min.. or an hr. then power back on? | 13:17 |
| nadia | Dr_Willis: oh didnt check 5min waiting, if so..what would it mean? | 13:18 |

| blambin | i want to make a irc chat with gtalk like this http://goondroid.com/gtalk-and-transports/ ,has any solution for ? | 13:30 |
| L3top | sanrabbit: typically it means a package had a name for a long time, and people are used to looking for it by that name, though there is a new package under a new name, so a dummy transitional package is there. | 13:31 |

| sanrabbit | L3top: thanks, but is it just a 'link'? once I installed ruby1.8, but the 'ruby' package is still purge, then I exec 'aptitude install ruby', apt downloads a package named 'ruby' and install it. | 13:38 |
| jrib | plague: you must actually change PrintMotd to no, not just comment it | 13:39 |

| OneFix_Work | Sit_Ubu_sit: Yes | 13:39 |
| plague | jrib sorry for being lame | 13:39 |

| candrea | tjol: that error message will tell us whether the problem is really the password or something else (e.g. not being in the sudoers file) | 14:30 |
| tjol | well - the password work with the keyring - but no where else | 14:31 |
| tjol | candrea - I am running duel boot here - so I will have to restart my pc - will come back shortly | 14:32 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 14:39 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 14:39 |
| tjol | Candrea/Lost Cause - back....Candrea - it asks me for a password if I type sudo echo in the terminal | 14:39 |
| candrea | tjol: yes, you should type whatever you want and then press enter | 14:40 |
| tjol | and it returns with : wrong password | 14:40 |
| joe__ | and also a better irc client | 14:40 |
| joe__ | the last 2 i tried didnt work so great | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to use weechat for irc these days | 14:41 |
| Bigbird | I am using the Quassel IRC | 14:41 |
| candrea | tjol: so, well... is it ok for you if I help you resetting the password? I'm asking this because you told you have dual-boot, so this way should be the fastest | 14:41 |
| Bigbird | I feel it works good | 14:41 |
| orated | Hello! I followed -http://www.squidguard.org/Doc/install.html- and during last step of installation I get - # make install Installing squidGuard Done.Installing configuration file Created directory /usr/local/squidGuard/db chown: invalid user: `squid' make: *** [install-conf] Error 1 - How can I fix this error? | 14:41 |
| tjol | candrea - lets try | 14:41 |
| junixbr | what is the best way to convert mng in avi? | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | orated: seems it wants a squid user. | 14:42 |
| tjol | I open for any suggestions | 14:42 |
| candrea | tjol: cool, are you familiar with chroots? | 14:42 |
| tjol | candrea - nope | 14:42 |
| Bigbird | J: hello | 14:42 |
| orated | Dr_Willis: I did adduser and addgroup for squid and ran the command again, still there is no clean make install | 14:42 |
| candrea | tjol: ok, first of all: are you writing from the "bad" operating system, or the "good" one? | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mng? thats a new one to me. junixbr ffmpeg, or mencoder can convert to most anything. winff, or arista are nice gui tools | 14:43 |
| tjol | hahahahahha :) I am using Win 7 now | 14:43 |
| candrea | tjol: argh, then it won't be as easy as I tought | 14:43 |
| candrea | tjol: you need a live cd in this case | 14:44 |
| tjol | my problem is that I have no IRC app on the Ubuntu | 14:44 |
| junixbr | Dr_Willis, I've heard about you can convert mng to png and use ffmpeg to convert pngs to avi | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | tjol: there ones included by default, or use the irc web app | 14:44 |
| tjol | and If I want to download one - it asks a password to install - so catch 22 | 14:44 |
| tjol | Dr Willis - all that is included I think is empathy | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | empathy can do irc | 14:45 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest97193 | ||
| Dr_Willis | or use the freenode webchat | 14:45 |
| Bigbird | Pidgin can also do it | 14:45 |
| kalebmcc | I installed the FGLRX .deb packages, now I get a new error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144944/ when I run sudo aticonfig --initial | 14:45 |

| tjol | ok - let me go to Ubuntu and try - see you guys soon | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or boot to the recovery mode and install stuff from there ;) | 14:46 |

| kyle__ | bobby_: That could just be so you can see it move, since it's such a large device. Otherwise you'd see an X, come back in three hours, not see another, and think it's stalled. | 15:15 |

| Shadow` | instead of "iptables -A INPUT -s some.ip.adress -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" i should be able to use "iptables -A INPUT -s sub.domain.ext -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" right? | 15:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Joe2 it's becoming more and more complex, start from the beginning, what are you doing and what do you want to achieve | 15:24 |

| candrea | Tjol: yep, how can I help you? | 15:29 |

| hxtk | I have one drive that keeps mounting and openning up a file manager window without my asking it to | 15:30 |
| Joe2 | like a virtual disk type deal | 15:30 |
| candrea | Shadow`: have you already tryied "host sub.domain.ext"? (just to be sure) | 15:31 |
| Tjol | Ok - that link you gave me - I actually got there by myself yesterday - but i could not get it to change the password - today I did evething the same...except..... my password I used was letters and numbers - ie passwrd123 - today I omitted the numbers - and guess what! | 15:31 |
| hxtk | the only way I can stop it is to quit my file manager. | 15:31 |
| Tjol | So the catch it seems is to use only alpha in your password - not alphanumeric | 15:32 |
| jrib | Tjol: what are you talking about? | 15:32 |
| candrea | Tjol: I guess you had caps lock off? | 15:32 |
| Tjol | :)@ candrea - trust me - I went through the caps lock onn/off scenario with fine comb | 15:33 |
| candrea | jrib: he's trying to reset his own password using single user mode | 15:33 |
| Tjol | so it looks one should not use numbers in th eorrt password | 15:33 |
| jrib | Tjol: you can use numbers... | 15:33 |
| subterfuge | If I wanted to remove every trace of NVIDIA on my Ubuntu 12.04 system so that I could go to "Additional Hardware" and truly do a clean install of the drivers. Doing this because I have hit a brick wall with fixing an issue.. | 15:34 |
| candrea | Tjol: well, to be honest, almost everyone uses numbers :) | 15:34 |
| candrea | Tjol: anyhow, is the problem solved now? | 15:34 |
| Tjol | problem solved - Candrea - I am happy that I did everything by the book - but every time I tried to change the password, it gave me an auth issue answer. The one time I omitted the numbers it work - maybe the keybord has an issue - i do not know | 15:36 |
| Tjol | anyway - thank you for your help and have a nice evening - I will go and have a glass of Shiraz now | 15:37 |

| AdvoWork | jrib, thats what I thought | 15:43 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: seems to have been removed now... Add a custom .desktop file for it in your ~/.local/share/applications/ | 15:43 |
| candrea | Joelito: apt-key del 1378B444 | 15:44 |
| hydester | are there any instructions for doing a fresh instal of ubuntu with btrfs instead of lvm/ext? | 15:44 |

| ero-jiji | have an issue with free space, my i have a 3.1tb partition mounted as /home. i copied 1.1tb to a single folder, and now its saying im using 100% of the 3,1tb | 15:46 |
| ThinkT510 | !btrfs | hydester | 15:46 |

| trijntje | can someone tell me how I can get mpd to play something? I've been trying to figure it out for half an hour and it drives me up the wall. All tutorials end with 'and now play music', and I have no clue how to do that! | 15:46 |
| jrib | ero-jiji: try baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer in the menu) to determine what is using the space | 15:46 |
| magicalChicken | trijntje: you need a client, for simple needs try mpc | 15:47 |
| ero-jiji | i have, one sec ill screenshot it | 15:47 |
| jrib | trijntje: "mpc play" assuming you have a library set up | 15:47 |
| grdnwsl | ero-jiji: Are you out of inodes? | 15:47 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, i have it in launcher, I can open it from my unity menu already, or is that not what you mean? | 15:47 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: I think you can just copy that to ~/.local/share/applications/ (not sure) | 15:48 |
| grdnwsl | ero-jiji: you can use df -i to find inode usage for your drive | 15:48 |
| abyss42 | Hi guys, I have a verisign cert and i just updated nginx.conf. Now i can access my site with https://ip address..but it says • Server's certificate does not match the URL. I changed server_name to the domain name..but i cannot go to my https://domain_name.com | 15:48 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: .desktop files there should show up in your open with menu | 15:48 |
| abyss42 | any ideas? | 15:48 |
| trijntje | magicalChicken: thanks, installing mpc now | 15:48 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, yeah it does, i can search for it and open the program ok, but still not in that open with list | 15:48 |
| tizbac | abyss42, the certificate has also a domain name in it | 15:49 |
| tizbac | it must match the domain | 15:49 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: do you have a .desktop file for it in ~/.local/share/applications/? | 15:49 |
| ero-jiji | http://www.postimg.com/79000/photo-78872.jpg | 15:49 |
| magicalChicken | trijntje: that is really simple though, for a more powerful client once you have it tested try ncmpcpp or for a graphical client sonata | 15:49 |
| candrea | abyss42: when you use the ip, you get the error because the certificate is associated to the host name, not the ip | 15:49 |
| abyss42 | tizbac, yes they said its the common name. but i put the same and its not working :( | 15:49 |
| candrea | abyss42: what do you mean with "i cannot go to my ..."? | 15:49 |

| ero-jiji | http://www.postimg.com/79000/photo-78878.jpg | 16:01 |
| ero-jiji | theres a better screenshot | 16:02 |
| ero-jiji | and yea, i havent compressed them yet | 16:02 |
| candrea | abyss42: so... I don't know what's the situation, so, first of all: are you hosting the server yourself? | 16:02 |
| ero-jiji | i was getting ready to start compressing when i got a free space warning | 16:02 |
| dury | is there anyone who install properly xscreensaver in 12.04 | 16:02 |
| candrea | abyss42: can the server be accessed throught Internet or just in a local network? (probably Internet, but I prefer asking) | 16:03 |
| ero-jiji | ive cleaned the temp folder, and trash bin | 16:04 |
| ero-jiji | so the space isnt used there | 16:04 |
| === szal__ is now known as szal | ||
| ero-jiji | the ftproot is where the recordings are uploaded to, then i was going to encode them and put them on the webserver | 16:05 |
| dury | may I have suggestions about xscreensaver in 12.04 | 16:05 |
| abyss42 | candrea, the server can be accessed just fine with an ip address. I was using a self sign cert up until now and it was working great. Now i have a real verisign cert and i updated my nginx.conf.. they told me common name for the cert is my-domain.com and i updated server_name in nginx.conf with the same..it didnt work. | 16:05 |
| philinux | ero-jiji: work through that link. Something will turn up. | 16:05 |
| abyss42 | abyss42, it can be accessed through the internet. | 16:05 |
| philinux | dury: what is the problem you are getting | 16:05 |
| trijntje_ | jrib: ncmpcpp --now-playing doesn't show anything | 16:06 |

| ero-jiji | @philinux aye, working down the list now | 16:06 |

| candrea | abyss42: there may be other solutions that best fit your needs, but I have to know what you want to achive | 16:08 |
| dury | philinux: I guess so :-( | 16:09 |
| alexfpms | For precision, i use latest Chrome under Ubuntu 12.04 | 16:10 |
| dury | philinux: what I did wrong then, or what could it be the problem? | 16:10 |
| philinux | dury: try adding a delay. Edit the startup app for xcreensaver like this. bash -c "sleep 10 && xscreensaver" | 16:10 |
| trijntje_ | jrib: working, thanks a lot! | 16:11 |

| roasted | candrea: what would happen with that? Could I customize the message that pops up? | 16:16 |
| candrea | roasted: it shows a notification containing the command | 16:17 |

I will list the packages that got replaced later ok | 16:19 |
| === ztag100 is now known as Guest39319 | ||
| MonkeyDust | roasted like zenity --info --title="backup" --text="all right! the backup has completed! now go outside and play!" | 16:19 |
| roasted | MonkeyDust: thanks for that - I was just googling for how it would be set up. I guess I would just tag that in another line on the command? | 16:21 |
| roasted | MonkeyDust: within the rsync script itself, that is | 16:21 |
| Sorc534 | s | 16:22 |
| MonkeyDust | roasted what candrea suggested rsync blah; zenity blah that's a semi-colon | 16:22 |

| abyss42 | candrea, I think the DNS name servers are not updated yet. But when i go to https://ipaddress. https:// is still in red color and not green. WHen i click on it, it says i got a valid certificate but it also says Server's certificate does not match the URL.. How can i fix this? | 16:23 |
| roasted | MonkeyDust: just tested it - very nice! that works perfectly | 16:23 |
| candrea | abyss42: if you use the IP address, it must give you an error. The certificate is for the domain, not for the IP | 16:24 |
| candrea | abyss42: if you want a certificate associated to the IP, you need to ask your authority | 16:25 |

| milen8204 | how can I put any folder in "Place" folder? | 16:45 |
| TJ- | petko10: On the dpkg side you'd use dpkg-query -L <package-name> | egrep '^/*/lib*/' | 16:45 |
| diverdude | What is $(libdir) ? If i do echo $(libdir) nothing is printed | 16:45 |
| milen8204 | I am whit Ubuntu 11.10 | 16:45 |

| hilo | I am writing a shell script and discovered that Ubuntu uses "dash" and not "bash" like I had thought. I can't simply change the head of the script to #!/bin/bash because a number of things in the script break (namely, newline output from my echo commands). Can anyone help me? I need to either find a dash equivalent to the bash modulus command (%) which doesn't seem to work in dash; or I need to find a bash equivalent to the "\n" newline. | 16:49 |
| ssta | hilo: yes. If you ue bashisms, then use #!/bin/bash | 16:49 |
| TJ- | diverdude: "make -d" will print debugging information. However, if you're using it as part of an autoconf project, you should find after ./configure you'll make a Makefile and config.* files that will reveal the actual setting being used | 16:49 |
| hilo | ssta: If I what? | 16:50 |
| bekks | hilo: aacording to "man echo", "\n" works in bash. | 16:50 |
| ssta | hilo: stuff that work in bash, but not in more limited POSIXy shells are called bashisms | 16:50 |
| diverdude | TJ-: it is actually as apart of autotools project. I am trying to figure out where this package will place its files when i do make install | 16:50 |
| hilo | bekks: if I use echo "blah blah \n blah" it prints that literally, no newline | 16:51 |
| diverdude | TJ-: because i know that once i issue the make install command there is no going back and billions of files could be scattered all over the place | 16:51 |
| TJ- | hilo: using escape characters in BASH echo you use the -e option (echo -e "some text with newline\n2") | 16:51 |
| ssta | hilo: \n is parsed by echo, not the shell. use -e opton to exho | 16:51 |
| TJ- | diverdude: the libdir should be figured out by ./configure and it will be written to the files I mentioned, | 16:52 |
| ssta | well, I guess echo isd a bash builtin | 16:52 |
| hilo | Thanks all! | 16:52 |
| hilo | Is there anywhere I can find a comparison of dash to bash? I want to switch the script to bash, but it is rather lengthy, so it would be helpful to try and tackle as many differences as possible before running into the errors they might generate down the road when I need it to work. | 16:53 |

| ssta | hilo: in general, everything that works in dash will work in bash...there are a few things in bash that don't work in dash though. | 16:57 |
| ssta | bond_: in apt-get you can give the -y switch | 16:57 |
| bobweaver | bond_, sudo apt-get -y install or sudo apt-get -n install | 16:57 |
| ssta | _Marcus: chown :<groupname> <filename> | 16:58 |

| ssta | _Marcus: note the ":", it's significant | 16:58 |
| _Marcus | ssta: Why? | 16:58 |
| ssta | _Marcus: alternatively you can use chgrp (which I guess is more specific) | 16:59 |
| TJ- | _Marcus: "chown -R :www-data /path/to/dir" ... the -R recurses files and sub-directories | 16:59 |
| ssta | _Marcus: chown changes owner and/or group. Before the colon is owner, after is group (so chown <owner>:<group> <file>) | 16:59 |
| _Marcus | ssta: Chown worked fine. Thanks :) | 16:59 |

It is currently hanging and saying "error: cannot read from '/dev/sdc'" this is where the sdcard is located. I have tried umounting the sdcard then remounting it. any other suggestions?

| hrehf | MaynardW1ters can i choose the location during installation so it sits on the seperate hd? | 17:02 |

| hrehf | i just thought there might be an easy way to do it, because the hd is currently plugged in anyways | 17:05 |
| hrehf | thanks for the help! | 17:06 |
| MaynardW1ters | Atlantic777: I dont know of any reason why grub 2 will only boot the 12.04. BUT i am not an expert at either grub or 12.04. I suggest finding a tutorial on how to manual edit grubs options and manually adding your 11.04 install to grub | 17:07 |

| histo | n00b: you would nee dto sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop && sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start | 18:05 |
| MonkeyDust | n00b or ; | 18:06 |
| Shadow` | doesnt | work too? | 18:06 |
| histo | n00b: do you have cups installed? | 18:06 |
| n00b | command not found o.O | 18:07 |
| histo | n00b: try sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop | 18:07 |
| bobweaver | n00b, is this a printer server ? or desktop? | 18:07 |
| histo | n00b: and sudo /etc/init.d/cups start | 18:07 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: So, there's 1.1TB of actual data /in/ your /, and another 1.1TB in /home, separately. Problem is? | 18:07 |
| n00b | sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop | 18:07 |
| n00b | says command not found | 18:08 |
| n00b | desktop | 18:08 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: Disk Usage Analyzer shows per-directory usage. | 18:08 |
| histo | n00b: because its cups not cupsys | 18:08 |
| Beryllium | So, is there any way in Ubuntu to assign an extra IP address to the loopback interface? | 18:08 |
| histo | n00b: if you would look at what I typed | 18:08 |
| n00b | on page it writes cupsys | 18:08 |
| Psi-Jack | Beryllium: Yes, in /etc/network/interfaces. | 18:08 |
| n00b | brb | 18:08 |
| ero-jiji | theres only 1 folder, with 1.1tb of data, yet it says the 3.3tb has 2.9 used | 18:08 |
| histo | n00b: sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop <--------------------- | 18:08 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: Filesystems do not have folders. Laundry rooms and laundromats have folders. Filesystems actually have directories. | 18:08 |
| histo | n00b: well the page is wrong. It's not official documentation anyways | 18:08 |
| n00b | epic thing is that its different look from mine | 18:09 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: 1.1TB + 1.1TB + 3.4GB + 1.1GB +etc etc etc == 2.9TB used. | 18:09 |
| Beryllium | Psi-Jack: I am having a hard time finding an example of exactly what needs to be entered there to enable it (preferably without rendering the network subsystem unusable :) - hence my reluctance to experiment without a clear baseline to work from) | 18:09 |
| Shadow` | grammaring for no reason lol | 18:09 |
| Psi-Jack | Beryllium: What is it exactly you are trying to do? | 18:09 |
| ero-jiji | its a 3.3tb partiton, with 1 directory, of 1.1tb files | 18:09 |
| ero-jiji | not multiple 1.1tb directories | 18:09 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: If you're not going to pay attention, please do not ask for help. | 18:10 |
| Beryllium | I'm trying to say "This IP address points to a server that I can't route to, so I want to pretend to be that server in addition to being myself - but only locally" | 18:10 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: I see 2 1.1TB used directories. / and /home | 18:10 |
| n00b | ok it says to sellect usr etc but i only have CANON LBP / LPT #1 / CAPT Printer / ENTER URL / Network printer | 18:10 |
| morsnowski | has anyone here experience with a hybrid tv card, preferably a pci model? | 18:10 |
| ero-jiji | thats the [problem | 18:10 |
| ero-jiji | theres nothing there | 18:11 |
| ero-jiji | there is a single directory in /home/desktop with 1.1tb of files, thats it | 18:11 |
| bobweaver | morsnowski, I know a little about tv tuners | 18:11 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: Obviously there is, else DUA wouldn't be reporting it. | 18:11 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: And there's possibly directories you don't have permission to analyze as per permissions of unprivileged users, hence why you're only seeing 1.1 TB as such. | 18:12 |
| morsnowski | bobweaver, i would like to find some HW that can be installed under ubuntu without spending multiple hours chasing drivers | 18:12 |
| Psi-Jack | Beryllium: So a public VIP? | 18:12 |
| ero-jiji | how thats why i took the screenshot, it shows my /home folder, with nothing but /desktop and /lost+found which is empty | 18:13 |
| bobweaver | morsnowski, I just bought a hauppeuge 2250 and the remote dont work but the card works great | 18:13 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: Again, stop using the incorrect usage of "folder" | 18:13 |
| Beryllium | Psi-Jack: I'll do a pastebin, just a sec | 18:13 |
| ero-jiji | sorry, just frustrated | 18:13 |
| jerry_l | what is the spelling for ubut dev? | 18:13 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: As I said earliere, there's possibly directories you don't have permission to analyze as per permissions of unprivileged users, hence why you're only seeing 1.1 TB as such. | 18:14 |
| bobweaver | morsnowski, for my Ubuntu tv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrm117Ukr0&feature=g-upl | 18:14 |

| ero-jiji | <- root | 18:14 |
| Psi-Jack | ero-jiji: You're running X as root? | 18:14 |
| bobweaver | morsnowski, I had to get the driver but it was easy | 18:14 |
| ero-jiji | ran sudo baobab as well | 18:14 |
| ero-jiji | not through the x, used putty | 18:14 |
| n00b | now it says unable to locate printer | 18:14 |
| ero-jiji | used the x just to take the screenshot | 18:15 |
| bobweaver | morsnowski, this is the one that I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116036 | 18:15 |
| morsnowski | bobweaver, you got it from the maufactorer? | 18:15 |
| Beryllium | Psi-Jack: Consulting with someone at work first, if we still can't solve it I'll bring it up with a pastebin :) | 18:15 |

| ero-jiji | i dont have physical access to the machine, its a contenent away from me. it was set up with a ftp with a single directory, for people to upload their recorded game footage. then suddenly i get a no disk space error, and thats where im at now | 18:17 |
| data34876 | how to install kernel header and build files ? | 18:17 |
| skrocco | Hello All | 18:17 |
| n00b | LBP1120 cant find in CUPS spooler entry!!! | 18:17 |
| n00b | WHY ?! | 18:18 |
| ero-jiji | the single directory is the only one that has ever had anything written to it | 18:18 |
| ero-jiji | so i cant see how i could suddenly loose 2tb of space | 18:18 |
| === bousselham is now known as skrocco | ||
| Shadow` | ero-jiji, are those lotsa s mall files? | 18:18 |
| === skrocco is now known as _skrocco | ||
| ero-jiji | no, they are about 60 video files, low compression | 18:19 |
| Shadow` | ext has no fragmenting, so lotsa wasted space easily with lotsa small files | 18:19 |
| bobweaver | data34876, try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$[uname -r] | 18:19 |
| kyle__ | Shadow`: Err, ext can fragment, it's just more resilliant, and less likely to fragment. | 18:19 |
| ero-jiji | its ext3 | 18:20 |
| kyle__ | Shadow`: And the "wasted space" is about block size. It's something that can be tuned at filesystem creation time. | 18:20 |
| data34876 | hey bobweaver already tried .it say linux-headers are at newest version | 18:20 |
| Shadow` | i havent paid attention to it recent years tho as space never been an issue, but i did notice i was always using more space in total then the folder would say it was using | 18:20 |
| ero-jiji | so yea, basicly what im saying, is i "should" only have 1 directory, with 1.1tb used. however, i have 2.9 tb used | 18:20 |
| kyle__ | Shadow`: It does. But unless you're really really squeezed for space/performance, it's not worth sweatting over :) | 18:21 |
| bobweaver | data34876, I am not a kernel dev what do you mean by build files ? like build-dep ? | 18:21 |
| Shadow` | yeah i havent been for many years :P | 18:21 |

| kyle__ | ero-jiji: Unless you set your block size insanely large, I just don't see how it can be anything other than a missed . directory, an open file handle, or something hidden by a misplaced mount. | 18:45 |
| kyle__ | Jordan_U: It does. I ended up with nothing to read but a paperback korn-shell manual on a flight years ago. | 18:46 |
| Shogoot | Hi people. Was wondering if anyone coould try help me. I have a lubuntu machine wich i instaled nx on and i had no problem remote controling it from my win7 machine for some time. My win7 partition had a problem so i had to do a fresh install on it, i reisntaled nx cleint for wwin7 and now im not able to connect to the lubuntu machine. Ive tried various settings but the window just closes on me after some seconds displaying the splash | 18:46 |

| FreeFog | k | 19:40 |
| flowlo | hello | 19:40 |
| x010100x | it says something about can't uninstall Virtual Package | 19:40 |
| TJ- | FreeFog: Also, can you show me the fstab entry for the mount? | 19:41 |
| extrasolar | x010100x: tell us more about the problem | 19:41 |

| extrasolar | can you post everything you're doing and the errors to pastebin | 19:41 |
| FreeFog | it will take me a bit | 19:41 |
| extrasolar | copy and paste from the terminal | 19:41 |
| TJ- | FreeFog: OK | 19:41 |
| x010100x | extrasolar: I installed nagios 3.2.1 via terminal | 19:42 |
| extrasolar | right..... | 19:42 |
| x010100x | extrasolar: but I already had nagios3 | 19:42 |

| MonkeyDust | x010100x put it in one line, please | 19:42 |
| x010100x | extrasolar: well so I unistalled nagios3 | 19:42 |
| flowlo | I am currently doing a dist upgrade from lucid to precise (server) and it's 'calcluating the changes' for 20min now. I have read bugreports that this takes long (especially lts->lts), but what does 'long' mean. do you have experience in here? thank you for answering :) | 19:43 |
| x010100x | ok | 19:43 |
| extrasolar | paste everything to pastebin | 19:43 |

| extrasolar | perhaps | 19:46 |

| Frostbyte | hm, I'm reading that the hostname of the last user is recorded - is that why it's not forcing a new nick if no identify happens? | 20:51 |

| extrasolar | alternatively post the logs to pastebin | 20:52 |
| extrasolar | and show us | 20:52 |

| extrasolar | dat log | 20:55 |
| bbpgrs | extrasolar: sorry | 20:55 |
| bbpgrs | extrasolar: i know its long | 20:56 |
| kyle__ | bbpgrs: I've done it, though not violating the terms (it was mac on mac). Supposedly there are some kvm tweaks to let you run OSX in kvm if you're running linux on apple hardware. | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | the license states it must be installed on mac hardware | 20:57 |
| bbpgrs | kyle__: im running linux (ubuntu) on hp (windows) hardware and im trying to run OSX in virtualbox on ubuntu | 20:57 |
| kyle__ | ActionParsnip: The mac license permits virtualization on apple hardware only. It may only be for OSX server, can't recall. | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | kyle__: makes sense, probably should've said that :) | 20:57 |
| kyle__ | ActionParsnip: But there are 100% legal ways of doing it. I know several OSX sysadmins who do, and they're good about being fully licensed. | 20:57 |
| bbpgrs | kyle__: can you give me a link or something? | 20:58 |

| extrasolar | I cann dechiper that log | 20:58 |
| extrasolar | cannot | 20:58 |
| kyle__ | bbpgrs: If you're doing it without hacks, you need to pass through a section of nvram from the real hardware. Trying to dig up the links now. | 20:59 |
| bbpgrs | kyle__: ok thanks | 20:59 |
| bbpgrs | extrasolar: np i know its too long | 20:59 |

| bbpgrs | kyle__: cool thanks | 21:00 |
| kyle__ | Ooh, maybe not s patched one. | 21:00 |
| kyle__ | OerHeks: I'm just speaking to doing it legally, which requires you run it on apple hardware :) Requires some sort of key that's in nvram. | 21:00 |

| bbpgrs | kyle__: sorry but the link you gave me has a link in it to download something, but when i click on it it gives me a 404 page not found error | 21:02 |
| kyle__ | bbpgrs: I looked at this quite a while ago. Haven't had time to work on it. | 21:03 |
| bbpgrs | kyle__: ok np | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kyle__: I had a PC like that. BSOD in Windows but ran great under Linux, it's also when I switched OS fully | 21:03 |
| kyle__ | ActionParsnip: Yea. The problem with these is OSX used the GPU to it's advantage ALL THE TIME, but the case didn't allow enough airflow around it. | 21:04 |
| kyle__ | ActionParsnip: After a few years (well out of warantee), the GPU portion of the graphics card is litterally toasted. | 21:05 |

| adlwalrus | MonkeyDust: is deleting it safe? | 21:09 |
| MonkeyDust | safe: yes, smart/needed: no | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | adlwalrus: I don't have it, try renaming it instead | 21:10 |
| bob3333 | a good preventative measure is making a big index file, with all exist permissions, then chmod according to it | 21:10 |
| adlwalrus | MonkeyDust: k, but wha'ts the difference between .history and .bash_history? | 21:10 |
| MonkeyDust | .histroy not found here | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | cihhan: You pretty much need to re-install. | 21:10 |
| MonkeyDust | .history not found here | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | cihhan: You can do so while preserving your home directory though. | 21:11 |
| adlwalrus | ah ok, then maybe it isn't ubuntu | 21:11 |
| shef9 | can anybody help me in installing ubuntu 10.04 LTS on windows 7 for eucalyptus | 21:11 |
| cihhan | Jordan_U: Oh my God! That's awful! And the problem is I didnt have any seperate partition for /home :( | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: Lucid has less than 9 months support, why not install Precise? It is supported all the way to 2017 | 21:11 |
| Barnabas | cihhan, /etc and /home is important | 21:12 |
| shef9 | i need it only for practicing | 21:12 |
| MonkeyDust | shef9 and better don't install 'on windows', install it on its own partition, independent of windows | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: just use virtualbox then, less impact on the system | 21:13 |
| shef9 | can you please guide me how? | 21:13 |
| Barnabas | ActionParsnip, agree | 21:13 |
| shef9 | virtualbox is paid? | 21:13 |
| cihhan | Barnabas: any suggestions? | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: free | 21:13 |
| Barnabas | cihhan, whats the state of your disk pt | 21:13 |
| Barnabas | did not catch the start | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: but not as in speech :) | 21:13 |
| shef9 | k so first i install virtual box | 21:14 |
| shef9 | then link that with iso file | 21:14 |
| cihhan | Barnabas: the problem is I said "sudo chown -R user /* " | 21:14 |
| cihhan | by mistake | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: I suggest you use Lubuntu 12.04 and you will have a nice light desktop that is LTS | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | cihhan: then you should reinstall | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | cihhan, do you have root ? | 21:15 |
| shef9 | ActionParsnip first I install virtual box | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | shef9: yes | 21:15 |
| cihhan | nope :( | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | or | 21:15 |
| cihhan | Barnabas: I didnt set root | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | cihhan, try to boot on another device | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | usb | 21:15 |
| shef9 | actionparsnip then i link that with iso file | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | and mount your disk | 21:15 |
| Barnabas | then you are free to set ownership | 21:16 |
| Barnabas | ok? | 21:16 |
| cihhan | Barnabas: makes sense | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Barnabas: the complexity of the ownership of files in the system makes resetting the ownerships completely unfeasible | 21:16 |
| cihhan | I will try that way | 21:16 |
| Barnabas | ActionParsnip, depends on the system | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | cihhan: not all the files and folders are owned by root | 21:16 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: +1 on ownership | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Barnabas: the system is ubuntu, this is ubuntu support | 21:17 |
| Barnabas | try to reset it to root | 21:17 |
| Barnabas | figure out /home later | 21:17 |
| zykotick9 | cihhan: not everything is root owned... i'd reinstall (far easier) | 21:17 |
| cihhan | OK it seems that the most feasible way is to reinstall it | 21:17 |
| cihhan | ok thanks a lot then :) | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cihhan: not allfolders are owned by root so you willnot be ableto set this back with a single command, it will take you literally weeks to set it riht as you will needto compare to a good install | 21:17 |
| Barnabas | ActionParsnip, the system is owned by root right? | 21:18 |
| i42n | hey guys, is there a possibility to change the uid of an existing user WITHOUT the command 'usermod'? I am looking for a solution for this problem as the usermod command is not available on my NAS. | 21:18 |
| MonkeyDust | cihhan i havent followed, but sometimes it's easier to start over (reinstall), rather than try to repair things | 21:18 |
| Barnabas | so the problem is /tmp perhaps something i /var and all of /home | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Barnabas: not all of it, no. a lot of the system is owned by root.root but some are owned differently and this needs setting | 21:18 |
| Joe1 | how do i make it install to a actual partition with wubi | 21:19 |
| Barnabas | ActionParsnip, these things will not start then | 21:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Joe1 with wubi: not | 21:19 |
| zykotick9 | Joe1: you don't with wubi - use the livecd/usb instead. | 21:19 |
| Barnabas | eg some server etc | 21:19 |
| Barnabas | but the system will boot -) | 21:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Joe1 wubi creates space *inside* windows | 21:19 |
| Joe1 | dont have a optical drive | 21:19 |
| Joe1 | it broke | 21:19 |
| gato_negro | What is the best way to install the LAMP stack? Install components individually, or use tasksel to install them for me? | 21:19 |
| zykotick9 | Joe1: wubi = not real install. use a usb if possible? | 21:20 |
| Barnabas | dpkg-reconfigure should do a lot of good | 21:20 |
| Barnabas | or, you may have to reinstall | 21:20 |
| adlwalrus | anyone kknow why this might happen? quite paradoxical... http://jsfiddle.net/abletony84/84prM/ | 21:20 |

| benjamin__ | Hello. I have recently installed Ubuntu on a friend's computer which was purchased in 2003. | 21:26 |
| benjamin__ | I have noticed that Flash player does not work | 21:26 |
| benjamin__ | I have installed the Flash Player package, however, whenever I try to open a webpage with Flash content on it, the page crashes | 21:27 |
| MonkeyDust | benjamin__ what version? | 21:27 |
| MonkeyDust | benjamin__ what ubuntu version? | 21:27 |
| benjamin__ | 12.04 Precise | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | benjamin__: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 21:27 |
| * Barnabas sigh flash should be abolished | 21:28 | |
| benjamin__ | http://pastebin.com/0jugwDjN | 21:28 |
| benjamin__ | There it is | 21:29 |
| benjamin__ | It has an ATI graphics card, but I'm not sure which one | 21:29 |
| MonkeyDust | notice 1: pae | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | benjamin__: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package | 21:29 |
| benjamin__ | I'll try that | 21:30 |
| benjamin__ | Thanks | 21:30 |
| shef9 | can i use vmware player for ubuntu installation instead of virtualbox | 21:32 |
| Mysterytrain | um, what was the fastes way to create an empty user without a desktop and all that but with just a home directory | 21:32 |
| benjamin__ | Also; is there a way to see if I'm getting 3D graphics acceleration or not? | 21:32 |
| coreyo | anyone have a good command-line option for custom volume-up/volume-down keybindings? | 21:34 |
| benjamin__ | Flash player still isn't working | 21:34 |
| benjamin__ | If this is of any help to anyone; I've installed Ubuntu through alternate install | 21:34 |
| benjamin__ | The graphical installer would keep crashing | 21:35 |
| benjamin__ | So I used the alternate install disk | 21:35 |
| benjamin__ | It's a really old computer | 21:35 |
| benjamin__ | I think it may be due to lack of GPU acceleration support | 21:35 |
| benjamin__ | I'd like to know if there's a way to check for GPU acceleration | 21:36 |
| benjamin__ | Ahh | 21:37 |
| benjamin__ | Figured it out | 21:37 |
| Z3R0 | st | 21:37 |
| benjamin__ | It's a Radeon 7500 | 21:37 |
| benjamin__ | and it's not running Flash | 21:37 |
| W4sp | Mysterytrain: Please can you check if useradd suits your need? See -m and -k params. The key is the skel(eton) directory. You can specify an empty one, for instance. | 21:37 |
| benjamin__ | Will the ATI Binary X org driver work with that card? | 21:38 |
| Z3R0 | hey | 21:38 |
| Mysterytrain | W4sp: that was the command, thank you. I keep getting adduser and useradd mixed up | 21:38 |
| Z3R0 | heyy @ all | 21:38 |
| benjamin__ | I'll install them and let you guys know how it goes | 21:39 |
| W4sp | Mysterytrain: No problem. Both exist btw. | 21:39 |

| FreeFog | Hi is it normal that I need to manualy refresh (pressing F5) a network NTFS drive every time I make a change to be able to actually see it? | 21:45 |
| MonkeyDust | icequeen backgrounds are just pictures | 21:45 |
| MonkeyDust | FreeFog rephrase that please :) | 21:46 |
| FreeFog | every time I delete, modify, etc a file in an external CIFS drive I have to press F5 to actually see the change | 21:46 |
| FreeFog | if I delete a file, the image of the file stays (thought the actual file is deleted when the order is issued) until I press F5 | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | icequeen: enough themes for you? | 21:48 |
| FreeFog | am I not clear enough? should I refrace again? | 21:48 |
| linuxuz3r | what should i install to develope c c++ in ubuntu | 21:48 |
| tsousa | i installed the latest version of ubuntu but it is not recognizing the screen correctly. so the icon on unity is missing a part because the screen cut that part | 21:49 |
| _Marcus | linuxuz3r: GCC. | 21:49 |
| tsousa | How can i solve it? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: install build-essential packae | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tsousa: what GPU do you use? | 21:49 |
| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip, does that install make and all the build packages | 21:49 |
| FreeFog | tsousa check about X11 documentation | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxuz3r: yes | 21:50 |
| SegFaultAX | I have two monitors. Which configuration option in Xorg selects the default one? | 21:50 |
| tsousa | ActionParsnip, Nvidia GT403 | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tsousa: did you install the nvidia proprietary driver? | 21:51 |
| tsousa | i did the same | 21:51 |
| linuxuz3r | anyone else having problems with gnome 3 2d | 21:52 |
| FreeFog | u can force the xorg.conf configs to a sertain value | 21:52 |
| FreeFog | tsousa I strongly recommend u check xorg.conf docs | 21:52 |
| e66 | I can not drag anything in Ubuntu | 21:53 |
| FreeFog | tsousa also it is important that the monitor has been pluged at boot, coz sometimes the automatic detection with the GUI does not work properly | 21:53 |
| Barnabas | gnome 3 / xorg.conf can give you problems to my exp, leave out config parts to keyboard and mouse .. | 21:53 |
| FreeFog | at least in my experience | 21:53 |
| Barnabas | as per nvidia-xconf | 21:53 |

| guest12345 | hi all, I am having a problem with domU's having network access through a bridge...I am using Ubuntu 12.04, setup bridge xenbr0 in /etc/network/interfaces...when I create a guest using xl create <configfile> the guest boots fine, but doesn't receive a dhcp response...I can see on the dhcp server that it is receiving and sending out an ip address, but it never reaches the domU | 22:03 |
| guest12345 | does anybody have a working setup that can show me what their iptables rules look like? That way I can compare it to what I have and rule that out as an issue | 22:03 |

| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, my video chipset is Geforce 6150 Le and I just finally got the additional driver for nvidia installed in the additional driver section which allowed gnome and unity to work now | 22:12 |
| e66 | any comment on http://askubuntu.com/questions/175510/can-not-move-anything-in-ubuntu-12-04 | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ghostnik11: you ran the nvidia-settings tool yet? | 22:12 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, no, how can i run that or are you talking about the nvidia settings because i went into it and it doesn't allow me to adjust the screen resolution | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ghostnik11: its in the menus or try 'gksudo nvidia-settings' | 22:13 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, okay will try | 22:13 |
| rhagu | hi i want to run the libvirtd daemon on my server, how can I install it? | 22:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Nvidia-settings has a place to select screen res. X Server Display Configuration. Its where i set up my 2 monitors. | 22:15 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, yeah I have run this program but it won't let me change the screen resolution, the driver i have installed according to the program is: 173.14.35 | 22:16 |

| Jonii | Hey, I bought a usb hdd to take with me. It's Lacie Rikiki. Now, what I don't get it, I plugged it in, and the hdd was saying something about "please run this setup to use this hdd with your mac or win computer" | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonii: what said that exactly.. | 22:17 |
| Jonii | Now, I was like "wtf m8", because, where the heck do you need setup to use hdd? | 22:17 |
| FreeFog | Hi, Does anyone knows about CIFS needing to be manually refreshed (ie pressing F5) to see changes done to them? and How to avoid it? | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonii: encryption or other packaged bonus software most likely | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | FreeFog: i dont recall ever needing to Hit F5 | 22:18 |
| Jonii | I tried to google that, to no avail. I repartitioned it, and it seems to work, though there are some problems with it | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | FreeFog: theres most likely some lag in the changes showing up | 22:18 |
| FreeFog | nope is someting permanent =S it is a NTFS share | 22:18 |
| Jonii | Dr_Willis: so, it's fair to assume that there's no need for me to save that data that came with the hdd? | 22:18 |

| Dr_Willis | ghostnik11: the nvidia-settings file can read, and save a xorg.conf it wont read one you just downloaded and saved to your home dir.. If you chante your xorg.conf you should restart the X server to see if it works.. then try nvidia-settings | 22:44 |
| zykotick9 | bonhoeffer: comment out - would be more safe suggestion ;) | 22:45 |
| JokesOnYou77 | DrManhattan: rofl. I wish I could help more, but it looks like this is really beyond my expertise, sorry :/ | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: Why are you compiling a kernel? | 22:45 |
| bonhoeffer | zykotick9, thanks! | 22:45 |
| David-A | buhman_: what about setting owner "root", that is quite common | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Why are you compiling a kernel? | 22:45 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, how can i restart x settings | 22:45 |
| ghostnik11 | via terminal | 22:45 |
| DrManhattan | JokesOnYou77, it's beyond everyone's expertise. When it boils down to it, linux will always be playing catch up | 22:45 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, probably for the same reason you bite the heads off of live kittens. | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ghostnik11: sudo service lightdm restart to restart X. X settings are normally saved in /etc/X11/xorg.conf rename the file to xorg.conf.backup.123 or similer to have no xorg.conf and reset the settings | 22:46 |
| zykotick9 | ghostnik11: one way would be "sudo service lightdm restart" (assuming you use lightdm) | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Please try to keep your comments on-topic. | 22:46 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, you as well. I never said anything about compiling a kernel. | 22:47 |
| zykotick9 | DrManhattan: "catch up" to what... <don't reply> | 22:47 |
| * DrManhattan shrugs | 22:47 | |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Sorry, I misunderstood. What are you trying to do? | 22:48 |
| linuxuz3r_ | demonoid is down? | 22:48 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, find any way to get WOL functioning with an atl1e onboard NIC | 22:48 |
| zykotick9 | linuxuz3r_: demonid is shutdown - see /. | 22:48 |
| DrManhattan | linuxuz3r, has been for a while | 22:48 |
| DrManhattan | they got ddos'd and never recovered | 22:49 |
| linuxuz3r_ | even the trackers got ddosd? | 22:49 |

| ubottu | linuxuz3r_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:49 |
| zykotick9 | linuxuz3r_: as in legally shutdown for good... | 22:49 |
| linuxuz3r_ | oh ok | 22:49 |
| linuxuz3r_ | thanks | 22:49 |
| linuxuz3r_ | sorry | 22:49 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, do you have anything helpful to add, or are you just going to complain about topics you dont like? | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo ethtool eth0"? (assuming that eth0 is the ethernet card in question). | 22:50 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, according to the ethtool, WOL is in state G and functioning | 22:51 |
| DrManhattan | I can even do a MANUAL sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g | 22:51 |
| DrManhattan | but you send a packet to the card and you get no response | 22:51 |

| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, yes. in Windows it works just fine. | 22:53 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, in fact, in earlier versions of ubuntu one had no problems with the standard make make install process of the proprietary driver | 22:53 |
| cash | yota | 22:54 |
| intr0x80 | Hello, what's the currently supported version of Ubutnu LTS? | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: WOL doesn't normally require installation of proprietary drivers. | 22:54 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, i made it worst after restarting x | 22:54 |
| cash | hi guy | 22:54 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, it does for atl1e and for r8169 | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | intr0x80: long time for 12.04, i hear 9 months left for 10.04 | 22:55 |
| cash | shit i searche french language | 22:55 |
| linuxuz3r_ | zykotick9, are you on gnome-shell | 22:55 |
| ghostnik11 | now on my tv its still 640 x 480 but know when i move my mouse the screen moves because it can pan further but the screen remains at resolution | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | linuxuz3r_: lol - no. i use awesome wm (with dual monitor BTW). good luck. | 22:55 |
| linuxuz3r_ | ok | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ghostnik11: delete the xorg.conf and restart x again.. should be back to the original | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Where did you download this proprietary driver from? What version(s) of the linux kernel is it known to support? | 22:56 |
| intr0x80 | zykotick9: nice. Thanks. Will my 10.04 box automatically try to upgrade itself to 12.04 when 10.04 goes away? | 22:56 |
| zykotick9 | intr0x80: upgrade should be offered with 12.04.1 comes out. | 22:56 |
| DrManhattan | I downloaded one from the Atheros Qualcomm site and one from the manufacturer. It's supposed to support 2.6 and up | 22:57 |
| zykotick9 | s/with/when/ | 22:57 |
| DrManhattan | Neither work | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | intr0x80: update-manager should automatically prompt you about upgrading to 12.04, though it won't perform the upgrade automatically. | 22:57 |

| NetEcho | Is there any good options to enable the ability to remote into Ubuntu using a Windows 7 RDP client? other than XRDP, I wasn't a huge fan of it | 22:58 |
| ratbert90 | Even better, does /dev/hci0 have to exist before using hciattach ? | 22:59 |
| bobweaver | NetEcho, you have tried something like teamviewer ? | 22:59 |
| cash | #ubuntu-fr | 22:59 |
| zykotick9 | cash: "/join #ubuntu-fr" | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Internal linux kernel APIs change very frequently. Anything claim that a kernel module will work with future kernels should be suspect. Ubuntu 12.04 uses linux 3.2. | 22:59 |
| NetEcho | bobweaver isn't teamviewer a VNC client? | 23:00 |
| bobweaver | udp | 23:00 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, yeah, what a HUGE suprise! Something changed in linux and now basic functionality is broken. | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Could you provide a link to this download? | 23:00 |
| David-A | buhman_: if you have the .deb file you can see the original file owner. example if .deb in cache: dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/mousepad.deb | 23:00 |
| NetEcho | So the Windows 7 RDP client can connect to teamviewer? the reason I need this setup is because I can't install additional software on my work system without going through a massive pile of red-tape but they all have the default Win 7 RDP client | 23:01 |
| bobweaver | NetEcho, you would still need on both machines sorry maybe I misunderstood what you meant | 23:01 |
| zykotick9 | buhman_: David-A if a DEB file installs using the wrong owner... i'd be highly suspect of that DEB file... just sayin' | 23:01 |

| jgornick | Hey guys, I'm on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and I was wondering if there's an easy way to create a bootable USB with Ubuntu 12.04 Server. I want to install it on another machine I have. I also don't have a burner in my laptop. Thoughts? | 23:02 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, here's the other download link | 23:03 |
| DrManhattan | http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/corporate/content.php?nav1=146 | 23:03 |
| NetEcho | bobweaver: due to the work environment any new software has to be approved so as to not compromise network security (I could probably get away with it as my machine is firewalled and I'm the only one with access however I don't want to anger the people who provide our franchise license) | 23:03 |
| David-A | zykotick9: (the task was to restore to what the package installed, see 21 minutes ago) | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | jgornick: seems like an apple question to me. does apple have unetbootin? <don't reply to me - i won't see it> | 23:04 |
| OerHeks | jgornick, use unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 23:04 |
| jgornick | OerHeks: I tried unetbootin, however I didn't see an option for 64-bit 12.04 Server | 23:05 |
| OerHeks | jgornick, download the iso manually | 23:05 |
| cloudgeek | how to install airmon , aircarck and airodump in ubuntu desktop 12.04 | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | jgornick: You might need to use the netboot (also called "mini") install iso. | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | !mini | jgornick | 23:05 |
| ubottu | jgornick: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:05 |
| jgornick | Jordan_U: I still need to get that iso to a USB stick though right? | 23:06 |
| * zykotick9 mini ftw in ubuntu ;) | 23:06 | |
| jgornick | I'm all about mini as well. | 23:06 |
| MonkeyDust | jgornick yes, unetbootin does that | 23:06 |
| bobweaver | cloudgeek, why would you want to do that ? | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | jgornick: Yes, but the mini iso will actually work with unetbootin, last I checked the server iso will not. | 23:06 |
| MonkeyDust | jgornick server is an installer, not a live session | 23:07 |
| zykotick9 | mini allows selecting "server" does it not? Jordan_U | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | server edition iso has had issues with booting from flash drive . Not sure if it works if you dd the iso to flash or not.. | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | askubuntu.com may have some info on server to flash | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | zykotick9: Correct, you can install Ubuntu server from the mini iso. | 23:07 |
| jgornick | MonkeyDust: Yeah, I want server. | 23:08 |
| jgornick | Trying unetbootin again with the downloaded iso. | 23:08 |
| cloudgeek | bobweaver: we have a computer network project just need to do some experiment with arp packet and hobs and some assignment are there to finish assigned by our school | 23:08 |

| DrGrov | Got a strange tint of blue on Ubuntu 10.04 while surfing with Chromium. It happens when I am watching YouTube videos in 720p or 1080p HD. | 23:09 |
| jgornick | zykotick9: You are right, you can install anything. It's the bare minimum to use the ubuntu distribution. | 23:09 |
| bobweaver | cloudgeek, that is good also be careful because if I remeber right you have the low powered (lp-phy) wireless card but there is a 3rd party ppa for it out there | 23:09 |
| DrGrov | I installed XBMC from Ubuntu Tweak, added the PPA and installed. I wonder, could that have caused my blueish tint in Chromium? | 23:09 |
| matanya | anyone with debian packaging experience ? | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: i dont see how. | 23:10 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: right click a video and disable h/w acceleration in flash, it's in options, properties, preferences, or whaterver... | 23:10 |

| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: in flash video only? thats a known bug/issue. | 23:10 |

| DrGrov | zykotick9: I clicked on Settings but can not disable Hardware Acceleration. The little dot does not remove itself. | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkSim: you mean rerouteing a stream you are watching to a differnt stream? | 23:12 |

| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, can i run this command and it will reset x: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkSim: I belive vlc can somehow stream the desktop, or ffmpeg or mencoder.. not sure about other tools.. for 'real time' streaming. Theres also the webcamstudio that may be able to do it. (its not in the repos) | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: sorry, i don't have any other suggestions... good luck. | 23:14 |
| DarkSim | Hm :/ | 23:14 |
| DrGrov | zykotick9: Ok, I could remove the hardware acceleration now. | 23:14 |

| bobweaver | matanya, this is where we will build from | 23:16 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: i would have never guessed </sarcasm> - it's either nvidia or flash - as both are closed source (no one knows for sure) | 23:16 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, but in /etc/X11/ it also has an xorg.conf backup won't that stop it from resetting | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Sorry, if you run "echo enabled | sudo tee /sys/class/net/eth0/device/power/wakeup" then reboot does WOL work? | 23:17 |

| goddard | hgbul: if its college email then they usually have a faq page or even some one that works there would know | 23:27 |

| goddard | hgbul: i think imap.gmail.com or pop.gmail.com or smtp.gmail.com | 23:27 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, I installed it from the site using their Perl script installer: http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-150003 . I did not use apt-get install | 23:27 |
| goddard | then your username is your email | 23:27 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | Fire-_-Fly: Why didn't you use apt-get? | 23:28 |
| bobweaver | matanya, Ok now make a file in the Root build dir called Makefile | 23:29 |
| bobweaver | /home/matanya/sandbox/hewbrew-fonts_0.0.1/Open-Siddur-Project-Hebrew-Font-Pack ^^ | 23:29 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, It was not clear if the Ubuntu's distribution was the latest, and I wanted to make sure the latest one is installed | 23:29 |
| goddard | how can i remove old wine shortcuts that are inside my dock? | 23:29 |
| goddard | i dont have wine installed any more | 23:29 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | matanya, Now open that file in gedit or some text editor | 23:30 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done in vim | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | matanya, 1stline) #!/usr/bin make | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | 2nd line) all: | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | 3rd line) install: | 23:30 |
| hgbul | i tried those, but asks me for my username, which doesn't work | 23:30 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, I was able to run tex from the path given | 23:31 |
| dylan | is there anyway to put the launcher in different locations on different monitors? I'm using a dual setup and I want it on the left and right respectively | 23:31 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:31 |
| bobweaver | 4th line ) cp -r $(CURDIR)/usr $(DESTDIR)/ | 23:31 |
| matanya | ok | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebinit | bobweaver | 23:31 |
| ubottu | bobweaver: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:31 |
| bobweaver | there is a space between usr and $ matanya | 23:31 |
| jpvoip | hello guys... i have a linux with 4 NICs.... i want to create a routing table that... every packet that came from eth1 go to eth2, and every packet that came from eth3 go to eth4... how is the better way to accomplish this? | 23:31 |
| bobweaver | save the file now matanya or pastebin it so I can see it. | 23:32 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, So, I am pretty sure it installed OK. Just don't want to run it using the full path every time | 23:32 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145889/ | 23:32 |
| NetEcho | Are there any real disadvantages to WUBI? | 23:33 |
| bobweaver | matanya, you have to indent the 4th line 4 spaces | 23:33 |
| matanya | ok, done | 23:33 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, so this is funny to me so i change the name of xorg.conf file and then i did sudo service lightdm restart and it restarted and went to login screen and right when i was going to put in my password it came right back to here with no changes and the xorg.conf file still messed up with 640 x 480 res and then the 1024 x 768 panning resolution | 23:33 |
| bobweaver | Like this matanya you shebang was off too http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145891/ | 23:34 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, I will restart desktop and see what happens | 23:34 |
| matanya | bobweaver: fixed | 23:34 |
| bobweaver | matanya, now is a good time to explaiun this file. and what it is doing ok. so long sentance comming up | 23:35 |
| Jordan_U | Fire-_-Fly: You can add a path to the $PATH environment variable by adding a line like this to your ~/.profile: PATH=$PATH:/path/to/tex/ | 23:35 |
| [deXter] | Hi all; is it possible to get a 3.x kernel for Lucid ? | 23:36 |
| [deXter] | I'm looking in the mainline ppa and only 2.6.35-rc1 is the highest I can get | 23:36 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, I did that as well, and ran a new terminal to see if it recognized tex, unfortunately it does not. | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | Fire-_-Fly: ~/.profile is read at login. To test you can run "bash -l" or log out then back in again. | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | [deXter]: a 3.x kernel and lucid aren't going to be easy - why do you want a 3 kernel? do you have h/w that needs it? | 23:37 |
| bobweaver | matanya, because we always build from one dir we can call the GLobal varible $(CURDIR) so we are saying cp -r arecurrent dir/usr to Next Global varible $(Destdir) this is used to let dpkg-buildpackage or what ever we choce to build with to make sure that we are installing to the deb dir and not on to are machine do you have any questions about the makefile ? | 23:37 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, I tried the same in .profile, .bash_profile and /etc/environment | 23:37 |
| matanya | bobweaver: no, I have built packages before, just not for ubuntu | 23:38 |
| Fire-_-Fly | Jordan_U, Oh, I thought it did not require re log in. Let me check. | 23:38 |
| [deXter] | zykotick9, Yeah, I have hardware that needs it and unfortunately, software that works only on Lucid | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U | [deXter]: What software? | 23:39 |
| [deXter] | Jordan_U, It's a commercial software called ANSYS | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | [deXter]: sorry - i don't know the ubuntu-specific instructions for 3.x and lucid (i'm still happily running 2.6.32 | 23:39 |
| bobweaver | matanya, cool let me rool up a cigg ok well I am doing that What I want you to do is is make that makefile exacdable and start moving all the fonts to buildarea/usr/share/fonts | 23:39 |
| msx | [deXter]: goole for ppa mainline kernel, there you'll see all the official kernels for every ubuntu version | 23:40 |
| msx | sadly AFAIK i don't think you can add a new kernel to your ubuntu without breaking things since ubuntu's kernel is full of blobs and tightly integrated with the version it ships in :P | 23:40 |
| grendal | grrrr. | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | [deXter]: Does it require hardware 3D accelleration? | 23:41 |
| [deXter] | msx, Yes I've already done that as I said, the highest I can see is 2.6.35-rc1 | 23:41 |
| [deXter] | Jordan_U, Yeah | 23:41 |
| [deXter] | it's a fluid dynamics computational software | 23:41 |

| trism | zykotick9: it is in lucid-updates not backports | 23:44 |
| zykotick9 | trism: thanks | 23:44 |
| [deXter] | trism, So I just have to enable the backports repo? | 23:44 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:44 |
| DrManhattan | yeah sorry I spilled coffee in my keybaord | 23:44 |
| DrManhattan | board | 23:44 |
| zykotick9 | trism: !info could be more informative... just sayin' | 23:44 |
| cash | ubuntu-fr | 23:45 |
| cash | #ubuntu-fr | 23:45 |
| trism | [deXter]: no, it is in lucid-updates so you should have access to it, although I am looking for the meta package, I forget the name, one sec | 23:45 |
| bobweaver | matanya, now mv the zip to the trash | 23:45 |
| matanya | done | 23:45 |
| bobweaver | matanya, you build dir should now look like this http://imagebin.org/224480 | 23:46 |
| bobweaver | matanya, know where do you want to put the other stuff like keyboard and the pdf and odt ? | 23:47 |
| matanya | it does, tough I rm'ed the keyboard and the files | 23:47 |

| bobweaver | matanya, good rule of thumb always keep all source file we do not have to [pass on to user but they can get with apt-get source | 23:48 |
| trism | [deXter]: that should be the one you want, so you can keep the kernel up to date | 23:48 |
| bobweaver | moving on | 23:48 |
| matanya | bobweaver: it isn't source, added by the bloger | 23:48 |
| [deXter] | trism, So no need to enable the backports repo? | 23:48 |
| trism | zykotick9: yeah, the bot lumps lucid/lucid-updates/lucid-security together | 23:49 |
| LinuxFan | <zykotick9> Ubuntu 10.04 /var/log faillog no format is application / octet-stream | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | trism: a breakdown of which from which would be nice ;) | 23:49 |
| bobweaver | matanya, in builddir/../../truefonts mkdir after true fonts that is the name of the fonts | 23:49 |
| trism | zykotick9: indeed | 23:49 |
| bobweaver | then move the fonts in there matanya ; | 23:50 |
| trism | [deXter]: nope, it is either in lucid-updates or lucid-security, I'm not sure which | 23:50 |
| [deXter] | Ah, thanks trism will check it out | 23:50 |
| matanya | bobweaver: you mean inside truetype mkdir turefont? | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | trism: it looks like backports to me... linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric | 23:51 |
| NetEcho | weird the Download Installer Components option during install doesn't seem to want to do anything heh | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | trism: i know you have "lucid" at the end there - but 3.0 and lucid, i question... | 23:51 |
| trism | zykotick9: yes it is a kernel backport, however they are all in -updates, I don't know why | 23:52 |
| bobweaver | like this matanya http://imagebin.org/224482 | 23:52 |
| NetEcho | oh bad archive mirror :( | 23:52 |
| NetEcho | aparently the canadian archive mirror is bad | 23:52 |
| matanya | bobweaver: ok, that's what I did | 23:52 |
| bobweaver | ok matanya now go to this dir and make a tar.gz like in the screen shot that I am going to post | 23:53 |
| Bryan-VM | Hey guys | 23:54 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:54 |
| ghostnik11 | Dr_Willis, so the force restart of the desktop worked and now i back to standard 640 x 480 and interesting thing is that when it restarted i got this message from the computer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145909/ | 23:54 |
| Bryan-VM | Anyone know of a decent media server for Ubuntu that can stream over the network to Windows, PS3, and 360? | 23:54 |
| eikko | any idea why a compiled ELF 32 binary on Fedora 9 32b runs fine on this system but crash on Ubuntu 10.04 32b / -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error) ? (no IO errors) | 23:54 |
| ghostnik11 | bryan-vm: how about rhythmbox | 23:55 |
| Bryan-VM | rhythmbox? I haven't heard of that one. | 23:55 |
| bobweaver | ok matanya know mv the tar to the main build area like I did in this screenshot | 23:55 |
| bobweaver | http://imagebin.org/224483 | 23:55 |
| Bryan-VM | I've tried ps3 media server and plex | 23:56 |
| ghostnik11 | bryan-vm: wait are you using ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| Bryan-VM | Yes | 23:56 |
| Bryan-VM | 12.04 | 23:56 |
| NetEcho | odd I can't seem to download installer components | 23:56 |
| Bryan-VM | First time ever using it. | 23:56 |
| ghostnik11 | bryan-vm: its the standard music player it allows for streaming music from it | 23:56 |
| Bryan-VM | Can it do Movies/Pictures as well? | 23:57 |
| e0s__ | for VSFTP, what is the default directory that anonymous users connect to? | 23:57 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 23:57 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, doubt it as its just a standard music player with streaming abilities | 23:57 |
| bobweaver | now matanya just to make sure everything is set up right cd /home/matanya/sandbox/hewbrew-fonts_0.0.1/ then find . '*' |pastebinit | 23:58 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, but if you want to be able to stream anything you could just open a ftp | 23:58 |
| Bryan-VM | Can you ps3 and 360 read off that though? | 23:58 |
| bobweaver | matanya, then give us the link plz | 23:58 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, i do it all the time when i want to add stuff to ps3 but my ps3 is hacked | 23:58 |
| === HardFu is now known as HardFu|AFK | ||
| Bryan-VM | Mine isn't :/ I can't do anything to it either as its my room mates | 23:59 |
