| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, oh yeah don't hack it, and in terms of a regular stream program for ps3 to computer that allows movies, files, and music i don't know | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Bryan-VM | Hmm, alright | 00:00 |
| NetEcho | Anyone know how to rectify this? the Download Installer Components option in the Ubuntu Minimal Expert install doesn't do anything? | 00:00 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, how about you try to connect it via ethernet cord to laptop/computer | 00:00 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145922/ | 00:00 |
| bobweaver | thanks matanya | 00:00 |
| Bryan-VM | I would but where the 360 and ps3 are its kinda awkward to run the cables. | 00:01 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, oh i see | 00:01 |
| Bryan-VM | Yeah. So I was kinda looking for something like TVersity for Ubuntu | 00:01 |
| matanya | bobweaver: I removed one font, as it changed to non-free license | 00:01 |
| bobweaver | ok matanya we will be setting up all the licenceing in a minute | 00:02 |
| NetEcho | Same with non-expert install the Minimal cd doesn't seem to be capable of running the download commands :( it was working 20 minutes ago on another install | 00:02 |
| bobweaver | matanya, you need to rename Open-Siddur-Project-Hebrew-Font-Pack to open-siddur-project-hebrew-font-pack_0.0.1 | 00:03 |
| jgornick | hey guys, if i'm creating a vm host ubuntu 12.04 server, my / partition really needs to be something small like 40GB right? I am then going to create another partition mounted at /data which will hold all my vm's. | 00:03 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, you could use XBMC | 00:03 |
| Bryan-VM | Will that also go to the ps3 and Windows? | 00:03 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 00:03 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, i think so, not sure, but i remember when i was in college my friend used that one | 00:04 |
| bobweaver | see how mine is set up matanya http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145925/ | 00:04 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, then again my friend had an xbox 360 | 00:05 |
| guest_ | how can i make my mouse less sensitive? i've already set acceleration and sensitivity to the lowest settings possible. | 00:05 |
| Bryan-VM | yeah | 00:05 |
| Bryan-VM | Like I said, I'm looking for just something all bundled for the ps3/360/Windows. Just to get it up | 00:05 |
| bobweaver | matanya, pay close attention to line 5 in that paste | 00:06 |
| NetEcho | So nobody has ran into this before ? | 00:06 |
| guest_ | hello? | 00:07 |
| bobweaver | matanya, see how the tar.gz file is there /hewbrew-fonts-pack-0.0.1/hewbrew-fonts-pack-0.0.1.tar.gz | 00:07 |
| bobweaver | matanya, that is super imporant | 00:07 |
| matanya | yes | 00:07 |
| NetEcho | the Ubuntu installer doesn't do anything at the "Download Installer Components" stage, it just sits at a purple screen doing nothing | 00:07 |
| jgornick | Hey guys, if you were creating a VM host, in what directory would you put your virtual machines and their hard drives? | 00:07 |
| bobweaver | so lets see cd /home/matanya/sandbox/hewbrew-fonts_0.0.1/ && find . '*' | pastebinit | 00:08 |
| bobweaver | matanya, ^^ | 00:08 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145931/ | 00:09 |
| OerHeks | jgornick, how about /home ? | 00:09 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, check this out: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/30/plex-media-server-beta-dlna-wp7/ | 00:10 |
| guest_ | does anyone know where i can find the file "xorg.conf"? | 00:10 |
| jgornick | OerHeks: If I need to reinstall the OS, that won't interfere right? I was thinking of creating a custom /data partition. Thoughts? | 00:10 |
| OerHeks | jgornick, so you weren't asking for a answer, you have it already. | 00:11 |
| bobweaver | matanya, cd /home/matanya/sandbox/ && tar czvf hebrew-fonts_0.0.1.tar.gz hebrew-fonts_0.0.1/ && mv *.tar.gz hebrew-fonts_0.0.1 | 00:11 |
| jgornick | OerHeks: Not entirely. | 00:11 |
| bobweaver | then matanya cd hebrew-fonts_0.0.1 find . '*' | pastebinit | 00:12 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 00:12 |
| bobweaver | then matanya cd hebrew-fonts_0.0.1 find . '*' | pastebinit | 00:12 |
| jgornick | OerHeks: I'm in the partition disks part of the setup and for mount points, they have something called /src which says data for services provided by this system. | 00:12 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145935/ | 00:13 |
| bobweaver | there we go matanya now cd hebrew-fonts_0.0.1 then dh_make -e <youremaile@address.com> -c gpl3 -f hebrew-fonts_0.0.1.tar.gz | 00:14 |
| bobweaver | press s for single binary program | 00:15 |
| guest_ | i just want to make my mouse less sensitive | 00:15 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, try XMBC it should work for ps3 and windows because the ps3 should detect it once installed on your ubuntu machine and windows should pick it up also | 00:15 |
| Bryan-VM | im getting xbmx and the new plex now | 00:16 |

| ghostnik11 | mythtv? i have never tried it but in the past did download it when i had ubuntu 8.1 but you would have to look it up or ask around in the ubuntu forum. also isn't mythtv for streaming television programs? | 00:18 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, are you trying to stream tv programs from computer to ps3 or xbox 360 | 00:18 |
| dj_segfault | I use MythTV. I didn't see the question. What was it? | 00:19 |
| Bryan-VM | Im trying to stream from Ubuntu to PS3, 360, and Windows 7. | 00:19 |
| bobweaver | matanya, you need to rename the tar file from hebrew-fonts_0.0.1.tar.gz to hebrew-fonts-0.0.1.tar.gz | 00:19 |
| bobweaver | matanya, then run dh_make again | 00:19 |
| matanya | same error | 00:20 |
| bobweaver | ok matanya cd .. && ls -al | 00:20 |
| bobweaver | pastebin that please matanya | 00:20 |
| ghostnik11 | dj_segfault, Bryan-VM, wanted to know: Im trying to stream from Ubuntu to PS3, 360, and Windows 7 | 00:20 |
| ghostnik11 | Bryan-VM, when in large irc channels in order to notify someone you must put their names that way they will get a notification | 00:21 |

| LazarusDS | I'm having issues with something in Ubuntu 12.04 with XFCE. Can someone help? ^^ | 00:21 |
| matanya | bobweaver: ^^ | 00:21 |
| Bryan-VM | ghostnik11, ah ok | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Bryan-VM: the various upnp servers can stream to those devices. as can plex, and xbmc i belive. | 00:21 |
| matanya | LazarusDS: don't ask to ask, just ask | 00:21 |
| LazarusDS | Hehe. Sorry. | 00:21 |
| bobweaver | matanya, also rename hebrew-fonts_0.0.1 too hebrew-fonts-0.0.1 | 00:21 |
| dj_segfault | Bryan-VM: I believe you can use XMBC clients with MythTV though I've never done it. You always have the option of simply sharing the recordings using SAMBA or a networked drive, though. | 00:21 |
| Bryan-VM | Dr_Willis, Can all of them stream to all of them? Because that the biggest issue. | 00:21 |
| LazarusDS | Well, the volume indicator that came with stock 12.04 Ubuntu worked before. But since I installed XFCE 4, it no longer works. | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Bryan-VM: those devices can all play from upnp servers if confiogured properly | 00:22 |
| LazarusDS | It'll pop up, but be empty. | 00:22 |
| LazarusDS | No matter how high my volume is. | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | thats sort of the goal of the UPNP/DLNA standards. | 00:22 |
| ghostnik11 | dj_segfault, wait can the ps3 or xbox 360 pick up a ftp or samba share though? | 00:22 |
| Bryan-VM | Alright, thanks guys! | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Many Upnp servers specically state they have Xbox360/PS3 support | 00:23 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: if it is the "mixer" that pops up and is empty, use "select controls" to populate it with controls. | 00:23 |
| bobweaver | Bryan-VM, if you are stuck on xbmc I would suggest looking into qtmedia-hub it is the same thing as xbmc but newer and uses imho a better framework | 00:23 |
| matanya | bobweaver: dh-make done | 00:23 |
| dj_segfault | ghostnik11: Dunno. But they have browsers, and maybe you could point an Apache server at the recordings. | 00:23 |
| LazarusDS | It's not the mixer. | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | If you like XBMC, check out PLEX. its a fork of xbmc with some neat features. | 00:23 |
| Bryan-VM | Im not stuck on anything. I'm just looking for the best feature set | 00:23 |
| LazarusDS | It's like a little bar that shows up. That has a horizontal graphical representation of how high my volume is. | 00:23 |
| === Tasmania is now known as Tasmania-Away | ||
| bobweaver | matanya, good find . '*' | pastebinit | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Bryan-VM: better to focus on the features you need. :) not a set of features you never use. | 00:24 |
| ghostnik11 | dj_segfault, browsers are dumbed down on ps3 even though it was built with 7 central processing units | 00:24 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145950/ | 00:24 |
| ghostnik11 | dj_segfault, they will always say not enough memory to load pages | 00:24 |
| Bryan-VM | Dr_Willis, True. So would you recommend XBMX or Plex? | 00:24 |
| === Tasmania-Away is now known as Tasmania | ||
| Dr_Willis | Bryan-VM: totally depends on the details.. plex can work as a stand alone server. and has a seperate media center | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | If you want JUST a server, theres ushare, or mediatomb, or other UPnP servers. | 00:25 |
| bobweaver | matanya, cd debian/ && rm *.EX ;rm *.ex;rm RE* ; rm docs | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Media | 00:25 |
| dj_segfault | Hmm. If Googling doesn't tell you how to do it, it doesn't sound like it would work out of the box. But the last computer I bought to use as a MythTV client cost me $40, so maybe you shouldn't try so hard | 00:25 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 00:26 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: in panel app "mixer" there is a property "mixer track" what mixer control that actually is the volume. is there something similar with your volume control? (i am not very perliferent with 12.04 yet) | 00:26 |
| bobweaver | matanya, gedit control copyright changelog | 00:26 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 00:26 |
| LazarusDS | David-A: I don't know what the "mixer" app is. Is this something I should be able to add to my panels? | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | plex's main feature is you can access your plex media server from your cellphone. :) over the internet.. but its going to suck down your data quota ;P | 00:27 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| LazarusDS | I tried checking for it by making a new application link, but nothing showed up when I typed in "mixer". | 00:27 |
| LazarusDS | By default, 12.04 didn't have like... a volume control on it's panel. | 00:28 |
| LazarusDS | So I just used the multimedia keys on my laptop. | 00:28 |
| monkers | Hello, i'd like to install ubuntu from scratch on my nas without losing the md0 or lvm-media mounts. Is there a way to migrate or can i just mount the lvm and raid array after the new install? (the OS drive is seperate from both) | 00:28 |
| LazarusDS | And that's what causes this bar thing to show up. | 00:28 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: i think the normal volume control in xubuntu is like a notification thingy like in ubuntu. i think it can be removed and or complemented with an applet "mixer". but dont do that yet, try to find corresponding settings. | 00:29 |
| alidaco | Does anyone know why my sidebar and dash home are black instead of purple? http://imgur.com/v3cz9 | 00:29 |
| Dr_Willis | alidaco: by default i think they take on the colors of your wallpaper via some fancy maths. :) | 00:29 |
| LazarusDS | David-A: You mean in like...the system settings and whatnot? | 00:29 |
| Dr_Willis | alidaco: if your paper is all blues - it takes on a blueish tint. | 00:29 |
| bobweaver | matanya, sorry just catching up | 00:30 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: if rightclicking the volume control or finding a properties or settings on the volume control menu. | 00:30 |
| LazarusDS | I've got the "PulseAudio Volume Control" app open. | 00:30 |
| alidaco | I just changed my background and the color didnt change | 00:30 |
| LazarusDS | Doesn't really do much for me. It's only for like...turning certain things on or off, as far as muting them and whatnot. | 00:30 |
| bobweaver | matanya, lets start with the changelog shall we in the first line do you see where it says "unstable" | 00:31 |
| alidaco | any other recommendations? | 00:31 |
| matanya | yes bobweaver | 00:31 |
| LazarusDS | And again. There is no volume control on my panel. | 00:31 |
| LazarusDS | So I can't right click it. | 00:31 |
| Bryan-VM | Seems like a stupid question, but how can I open the task manager in Ubuntu? 12.04 to be precies. | 00:32 |
| armdale | anyone know what the best version of ubuntu would be to use on a 2011 macbook pro? | 00:32 |
| OerHeks | alidaco, change your theme. | 00:32 |
| histo | armdale: 12.04 64bit | 00:32 |
| alidaco | okay, I'll try that | 00:32 |
| armdale | 12.04 is giving me issues with wireless. i got it working, but it won't connect when i come back from sleep | 00:32 |
| bobweaver | now we need to change this matanya to the "codename" of the Ubuntu that we are building for like for 12.10 we would use quantal or 11.04 we would use natty | 00:32 |
| LazarusDS | Bryan-VM: Open the "System Monitor" program. | 00:32 |
| bobweaver | matanya, ^^ | 00:32 |
| Bryan-VM | Alright. Thanks | 00:32 |
| LazarusDS | Np. | 00:32 |
| benjamin__ | benjamin | 00:32 |
| OerHeks | armdale, look at the mactel pages, there is a PPA for wireless and stuff | 00:32 |
| OerHeks | !mac | 00:33 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 00:33 |
| matanya | bobweaver: you mean my system? or the dest one? | 00:33 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: what exactly are you trying to do? | 00:33 |
| alidaco | Changing my theme didn't change the color of my sidebar or dash home | 00:33 |
| bobweaver | the dest one matanya | 00:33 |
| Bryan-VM | histo, as far as what? | 00:33 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: no vol control on your panel? do you have email notifications and update notifications in the panel? | 00:33 |
| armdale | i will have a read through | 00:33 |
| LazarusDS | David-A: I've got update notifications. Why? | 00:33 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: and network status | 00:33 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: there isn't a task manager like windows | 00:33 |
| LazarusDS | Yeah, network status is there too. | 00:34 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: you can use top or htop to view running processes and kill them | 00:34 |
| Bryan-VM | Im just trying to figure out why this is moving so sluggish | 00:34 |
| LazarusDS | I've also got one for Anthy, because I use Japanese IME all the time. | 00:34 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: is it installed a Virtual Machine? | 00:34 |
| Bryan-VM | Yes | 00:34 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: i think they all are in the notification thingy, wait i'll check... | 00:34 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: most likely an issue with unity and the virtualized video | 00:35 |
| LazarusDS | I've also got one for my battery, since I'm on a laptop. | 00:35 |
| LazarusDS | But no volume control. | 00:35 |
| SecMonk | armdale: dump network-manager and use wicd if you have continuous connectivity issues. | 00:35 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: you can try using unity-2d | 00:35 |
| Bryan-VM | unity-2d/ | 00:35 |
| bobweaver | matanya, it should look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145968/ but with real emails and a real name. the control file is the file that everytime a change is made the dev goes in there and writes about it to let others know | 00:36 |
| Bryan-VM | histo, i'm using this in VMware Player, I dont have Unity anything | 00:36 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: Are you running a full desktop install? | 00:36 |
| Bryan-VM | yes | 00:36 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: then you are using unity that's the default desktop in ubuntu | 00:37 |
| matanya | bobweaver: it does | 00:37 |
| David-A | David-A: the volume control, email status and network status are all in the "indicator plugin" panel applet. | 00:37 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: sudo apt-get install unity-2d then logout and before loging back in select unity-2d as your session | 00:37 |
| armdale | SecMonk, by dump, do you mean just not use? i should uninstall or anything, eh? | 00:37 |
| Bryan-VM | histo: Thanks! | 00:37 |
| bobweaver | Good matanya let me see the file just to make sure XX out you email and what not | 00:37 |
| LazarusDS | That's fuggin' weird. | 00:37 |
| armdale | *shouldn't | 00:37 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: actually unity-2d should be installed by default | 00:37 |
| LazarusDS | I added that. And it gave me the icons I had already (network, updates, etc) and added the email and volume. | 00:38 |
| histo | Bryan-VM: so just log out and select it | 00:38 |
| LazarusDS | >_> | 00:38 |
| LazarusDS | But if I right click it, I don't have any options to change anything on it. | 00:38 |
| bobweaver | Bryan-VM, what happens when you run /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | 00:38 |
| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1145972/ | 00:39 |
| histo | bobweaver: he's running ubuntu in a vm | 00:39 |
| LazarusDS | If I left click it, there's sound settings. | 00:39 |
| LazarusDS | But it doesn't have anything about that bar that comes up. | 00:39 |
| LazarusDS | I mean, my sound works. | 00:39 |
| LazarusDS | And the multimedia keys change my volume fine. | 00:40 |
| bobweaver | matanya, you have to make sure that the frist and last name are there and they are capitals at start like Bob Weaver | 00:40 |
| LazarusDS | I just don't get to see what level it's at in the indicator. And it's annoying. | 00:40 |
| bobweaver | matanya, besides that you are good save that file now lets move on too the control file | 00:40 |
| matanya | bobweaver: fixed | 00:40 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: but you have sound in the speakers? | 00:41 |
| matanya | bobweaver: ok, on control | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | Yeah. I've always had sound. | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | That's not the problem. | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | The problem is that the box that comes up to indicate my level is always blank. | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | When it used to work, prior to installing XFCE 4. | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | Now it's just empty. | 00:41 |
| LazarusDS | No matter what setting my volume is at. | 00:42 |
| bobweaver | matanya, lets start by getting rid of the lines that we do not need I will paste something in a sec | 00:42 |
| David-A | LazarusDS: i have no idea why the vol ctrl isnt shown then. (maybe go ask in #xubuntu or #xfce, less crouded there) | 00:42 |

| ghostnik11 | Is it possible for a person to use live cd to go into /etc/x11/ and change the xorg.config file | 00:55 |
| NetEcho | Ubuntu cd seems to have issues on VirtualBox apparently, it's initialized the network however the "Retrieving Packages" phase shows no network traffic but I can activly ping the system from any system and it shows activity | 00:55 |
| OerHeks | ghostnik11, there is no xorg.conf standard, so the answer is no. | 00:55 |
| NetEcho | or apparently it froze | 00:55 |
| bobweaver | matanya, I can not belive that there is not a changelog file that has all the devs information in the upstream | 00:55 |
| ghostnik11 | Oerheks: even if its to erase the xorg.config file on the computer | 00:56 |
| OerHeks | ghostnik11, or do you mean edit xorg.conf in an existing install? | 00:56 |
| matanya | bobweaver: there is no upstream. I collected all those free fonts from that site | 00:56 |
| ghostnik11 | OerHeks: yes that's what I mean even to just rename it and have it restart it self | 00:57 |
| bobweaver | matanya, then that is the upstream | 00:57 |
| OerHeks | ghostnik11, sure | 00:57 |
| matanya | bobweaver: but he only give the links to the real authors | 00:57 |
| bobweaver | matanya, we do not have to fill it all out right now you can come back to it. for now make it look like my next paste that is coming | 00:57 |

| Costeelation | how can rezise my swap partition? | 00:59 |
| Nogal | Hello, I have a quick question. If I crash X, but still have access to tty1 via ctrl-alt-f1; is there a way I can kill X and logout of my username so I can then startx and log back in without a reboot? | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | ghostnik11, maybe this page is any help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/94833/ubuntu-livecd-editing-xorg-conf | 00:59 |

| bobweaver | good matanya cd hebrew-fonts-0.0.1/ && fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -F | 01:32 |
| pablete | hello | 01:32 |
| David-A | SoshiX: my understanding is you install windows first and linux second. (i have not tried it myself.) | 01:33 |
| matanya | bobweaver: done | 01:33 |
| histo | arooni-mobile: right click ont he speaker and go to sound properties and select your headphones as the output | 01:34 |

| matanya | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1146052/ | 01:36 |
| bobweaver | matanya, after that cd ../ && ls -al | pastebinit you should have now a debian package and sources_list file and what not | 01:36 |
| trism | jimi_hendrix: yes, read the first answer, you need to createa file in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ to override the default settings | 01:36 |

| David-A | SoshiX: dont format the partition with a linux tool. either format with a windows tool or leave unformatted. i believe (and that is pure paranoia of course) that if windows finds out linux has been poking around, he will punish you hard | 01:48 |
| SoshiX | Yeah, That's why I tried writing 0s to the drive using GWScan, which is a disc-run hard drive utility | 01:49 |
| SoshiX | The windows disc errors out before I can reformat | 01:49 |
| David-A | SoshiX: so after 0-ing, did you try just partitioning and no formatting? | 01:50 |
| SoshiX | I'm confused, can you partition without formatting? | 01:50 |
| SoshiX | I always see them done together | 01:50 |
| extropy | some partitions support resizing | 01:51 |
| David-A | SoshiX: yea, gparted do that by default, but you can separate them. partitioning is saved in a partition table at the beginning of the disk and nothing else is touched | 01:51 |

| monkers | does the drive priority of the sata drives in the bios have any affect on LVM? mine changed up and now the install is telling me my OS drive is part of the LVM (even though its not?) | 02:09 |
| bobweaver | matanya, debuild -S sa means make stuff for launchpadd so you can upload to your ppa -S sa means that there is No other package that is the same and it is the first time that it is going to be uploaded | 02:09 |

| wildboy211 | ill be back | 02:11 |

| srunner123 | question about Pidgin, I have it installed, and yesterday I was able to add IRC chat rooms to it, and now when I click the icon to start the program, it starts, but the interface that showed the chat rooms is not viewable, I have the title bar at the top of the monitor, but not GUI, any ideas on how I get it back??? | 02:11 |
| dylan | bobweaver: i removed the "problem" one | 02:12 |

| Gallomimia | hey guys. what does one do to add users by the command line? useradd? what groups should i add this new user to? is there a util that i can use without the gui? i'm away from my ubuntu box right now | 03:14 |
| somsip | Gallomimia: http://linux.die.net/man/8/adduser | 03:14 |
| Gallomimia | i'm rather familiar with this tool. however i just ran groups as my initial user and i'm a little flabberghasted | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | on my ubuntu server i just add everyone to users and understand the implications | 03:15 |
| somsip | Gallomimia: so what are you asking? | 03:16 |
| Gallomimia | do i need a -g flag at all? what groups should i add to this user? | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Gallomimia, you can add users with user accounts this is a gui and can make a admin same as yours or a standard not super user access, this is on my 12.04 setup. | 03:16 |
| GuyGuy | Hey, does anyone know if it is possible to use a LiveCD with an external DVD drive? | 03:17 |

| Gallomimia | i'm not at the machine right now | 03:17 |
| GuyGuy | It is! | 03:17 |
| GuyGuy | wilee-nilee It is? | 03:17 |
| MirtheN | provided your pcs bios will boot from usb/firewire or however your external drive is hooked up | 03:17 |
| somsip | Gallomimia: default groups are listed here and seems mostly up to date though it refers to the *first* user, so includes admin http://serverfault.com/questions/11488/what-are-the-default-groups-assigned-to-the-first-user-in-ubuntu-server | 03:18 |
| Gallomimia | GuyGuy: this depends on your motherboard and bios settings. usb device | 03:18 |
| Gallomimia | right. | 03:18 |
| Gallomimia | thanks that should give me some detail | 03:18 |
| somsip | Gallomimia: np | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | GuyGuy, yes you may need to use the boot menu outside of the bios, mine is triggered with f12 at powering on your key or keys may be different. | 03:18 |
| MirtheN | GuyGuy: need to hit up your BIOS, find the boot devices and boot order, make sure you can list that exernal drive | 03:18 |
| GuyGuy | Oh! THANK YOU! | 03:18 |
| GuyGuy | So much, I forgot about that! | 03:19 |
| GuyGuy | Thank you all for your responses! | 03:19 |
| Gallomimia | like booting from a usb stick | 03:19 |
| MirtheN | mmhm | 03:19 |
| GuyGuy | Ah, okay. | 03:19 |
| Gallomimia | i even worked with machines which i needed to boot from floppy, and had to use usb floppy external | 03:19 |
| Gallomimia | and it considers them all the same type | 03:19 |

| Gallomimia | good info. one more question about useradd under ubuntu. does it, by default, add the group of the same name? | 03:21 |
| Gallomimia | or should i do that first? | 03:21 |

| Seven_Six_Two | I found an interesting problem. Using Unity, if you dump coffee on your keyboard and have to use the on-screen keyboard, you can't type more than one letter in to the dash | 03:27 |
| OerHeks | is this biff_ some sort of malware? he is comming in and out every 2 minutes FOR DAYS NOW ! feel insecure with those types of guests. | 03:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | because it loses focus as soon as you click. when you click the dash again, the letter is still there, but it's highlighted and can't be unhighlighted so that you can click the second letter of whatever you're searching for. | 03:28 |

| Charleey | on another pc | 03:45 |
| KM0201 | something is obviously going on in the burn process... have you tried booting a USB? (assuming the machine can, and you have one available) | 03:45 |

| jagginess | n2diy, install the openssh server on the serverbox of course.. filezilla is the client | 03:53 |

| n2diy | nfs? | 03:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | network file system. nfs-kernel-server in synaptic | 03:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | install on both computers. put entry in to /etc/exports on box that is sharing, then sudo exportfs -ra | 03:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | add entry to other computer's fstab and sudo mount -a | 03:57 |

| Seven_Six_Two | ooh sorry. I may have jumped in to soon. they're both linux? | 03:58 |

| Seven_Six_Two | medajke, I assumed so, but that doesn't answer my question. | 04:07 |
| medajke | no/ I did't | 04:07 |
| medajke | how to do that's? | 04:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | medajke, if you add a new repo, that would appear in the software centre as well. | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | medajke: open a terminal and sudo apt-get install unetbootin and give us the exact error it gives you | 04:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | medajke, how do you add a new repo? There are a few ways. one is to add it directly to /etc/apt/sources.lst or you could add it with synaptic. You can also add repos and ppa's from the command line. | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | unetbootin shouldn't require "adding a repo" | 04:09 |
| KM0201 | !info unetbootin | 04:09 |

| Seven_Six_Two | no, but I was thinking another repo could have been added that offered it as well. | 04:09 |
| KM0201 | and second, most of the time a package will still install if it's just a keyring issue, it will just tell you there are untrusted packages | 04:09 |
| medajke | Seven_Six_Two can you write me in a new window dialog? | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | Seven_Six_Two: it still doesn't matter, unetbootin is in the default repos... there shouldn't be any "untrusted packages". | 04:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | medajke, write you what? | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | medajke: if you do what i said, we can try to help you.. | 04:10 |

| Guest_ | Perhaps this isn't the right place for questions concerning a locked up Ubuntu... | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | Guest_: have you tried checking the logs to see if there's any details about why its locking up? | 04:18 |
| Guest_ | I can't, it's sitting beside me, frozen | 04:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Guest_, it is, but that kind of lock-up is hard to diagnose, because you can't recover, and it's no longer logging. What are you doing when it locks? | 04:18 |
| Guest_ | I was watching a video through firefox and went to change workspaces to open a new window | 04:19 |

| Artemis3 | lwizardl, gparted is a graphical interface, you click the partitions, select (or push) delete partition and then "apply" | 04:22 |
| KM0201 | yeahm, i'd use gparted for that if possible | 04:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lwizardl, can you back up p2 to p3? | 04:22 |
| lwizardl | Artemis3, right,but i won't let me move the 2nd partition | 04:22 |
| KM0201 | it should. | 04:22 |
| jagginess | monkers, your bios should let you boot to that drive then, you'll have to edit the bios screen | 04:22 |
| lwizardl | Seveas, no it is a 400gb hdd and I don't have the free space to copy to spare drive to just make it a single partition | 04:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | move part2 data to part3, delete 1 and 2 and create new partition, move data from 3 to 1 | 04:23 |
| wolfslord | So, can anyone help me with Minecraft under Ubuntu 12.04?? | 04:23 |
| jagginess | monkers, you can boot into linux, then at commant prompt do grub-install /dev/<your HD> | 04:23 |
| MK` | How do I restart my sound driver? It's all messed up. | 04:23 |
| jagginess | MK`, relogin ? | 04:23 |
| lwizardl | Seveas, the partitions are 50gb | 270gb | 50gb | 04:23 |
| Artemis3 | lwizardl, apply the changes first, then move | 04:24 |
| MK` | jagginess I'm not going to go through all that trouble, there has to be a way to restart it without that | 04:24 |
| lwizardl | did that | 04:24 |
| Artemis3 | lwizardl, you might need to right click / unmount partition if it has the lock icon | 04:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lwizardl, ooh, I don't think you can do that.. | 04:24 |
| jagginess | MK`, sounds like you're not sure if you fixed it. | 04:24 |
| lwizardl | Artemis3, they aren't mounted, it just won't let me move the partitions around. | 04:25 |
| lwizardl | i think I will have to blank the drive which sucks | 04:25 |
| luftikuss | I wonder what logfile logs the earliest steps of an Ubuntu 12.04 computer. (steps before /var/log/dmesg sets in.) | 04:25 |
| Artemis3 | lwizardl, if you deleted all other partitions, it should be easy, or just enlarge the remaining partition to use the previous space, then shrink it again :) | 04:25 |
| MK` | I got it. Killing and restarting pulseaudio did the trick. | 04:25 |
| luftikuss | I wonder what logfile logs the earliest steps of an Ubuntu 12.04 computer bootup. (steps before /var/log/dmesg sets in.) | 04:25 |
| lwizardl | Artemis3, it won't let me move it, but it will let me resize it. so i'll try that | 04:26 |
| jagginess | MK`, the time you spent type that, is the same amount of time it takes for me to relogin | 04:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | dmesg is kernel message buffer. I don't think anything is earlier | 04:27 |
| jagginess | tsk | 04:27 |

| Seven_Six_Two | jagginess, but is there a log file? | 04:27 |
| jagginess | MK`, you should try to use the 'switch user' feature.. it wont hangup your running programs | 04:28 |
| jagginess | Seven_Six_Two, for the bios? lol | 04:28 |

| wolfslord | My java is not running graphical programs. I'm using Oracle Java 7. What should I do? | 04:30 |
| luftikuss | Seven_Six_Two: But I remember having heard that there is some earlier logging. | 04:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | wolfslord, what's the error? do you have more than one jvm installed? | 04:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | luftikuss, possible, I don't know | 04:31 |
| andrew2325 | yo | 04:31 |
| wolfslord | Yes. I just tried to completly remove openjdk, but I don't know if it worked. | 04:31 |
| luftikuss | Seven_Six_Two: Ok. Thank you for commenting. | 04:32 |
| jagginess | wolfbyte, is it a .sh file? | 04:32 |
| jagginess | wolfbyte, if "which java" in shell works, then java is there | 04:32 |
| wolfslord | There is a program I'm trying to run. It should open a window but when I run it nothing happens. When I open the system monitor java is just sleeping doing nothing. | 04:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | java -showversion | 04:33 |
| wolfslord | java version "1.7.0_05" -- That's the version I got | 04:34 |
| jagginess | wolfbyte, how are you launching it? | 04:34 |
| * jagginess looks at the mouse button | 04:35 | |
| wolfslord | I tried "java -jar name.jar" and right clicking it and choosing openjdk 7 | 04:35 |
| wolfslord | but now openjdk is removed | 04:35 |
| andrew2325 | if i switch to mostly 32bit programs, do you think nod32 would stop crashing numerous things? i don't want to change the whole os but change some of the packages. this is sort of comical, but it's actually functioning without too many problems. i got rid of gnome and kde though | 04:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | does it say OpenJDK anywhere when you do -showversion? | 04:36 |
| andrew2325 | and got rid of xfce | 04:36 |
| jagginess | if i remember correctly webstart may be able to launch .jar directly | 04:36 |
| IlikeMoose | !md5sum | 04:36 |

| wolfslord | Seven_Six_Two, no | 04:37 |
| jagginess | wolfbyte, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webstart | 04:37 |
| jagginess | wolfbyte, also the project for that .jar may provide launching tips.. what project is it | 04:37 |

| wolfslord | jagginess how do i use this webstart to open my program? | 04:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | can you use wine and the exe? | 04:40 |
| wolfslord | i don't have wine and it's kind of a philosophy of mine try not to use it. If i ever need wine I think it would better to simply run Windows. | 04:41 |
| wolfslord | but despite that. Doesn't wine enables windows viruses under ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| andrew2325 | wolfs there are some apps whose developers who would not mind if you used wine or mono | 04:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | unless it's for a one-off piece of software | 04:41 |
| PicCard | wolfslord: you can always virtualize | 04:42 |
| inflex | hiya, how can I make Ubuntu stay in standard text/console mode until GDM/LDM starts? | 04:42 |
| ansgar_n_ | I accidentally wiped a hard drive that I wanted to keep. I ran a recovery program which found a lot of it and stored it on an external disk. I'd like to go through each of the recup_dir.X directories and copy the images to a specific directory, renaming them somehow to avoid any conflicts. | 04:42 |
| andrew2325 | i personally run a wine app or two and avoid windows mostly | 04:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | inflex, remove quiet from grub | 04:42 |
| inflex | ansgar_n_: fun, many ways you could do that, perhaps using "find", or ls -laR or xargs | 04:43 |
| inflex | Seven_Six_Two: tx. | 04:43 |
| ansgar_n_ | find /media/USBDisk/ -name "*.jpg" -exec cp '{}' /home/ansgar_n/Pictures/frombackup/'{}'-`date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`.jpg \; isn't working because the '{}' includes the path and I don't know if there is anything more detailed than %S for date. is there another way to do this? | 04:43 |
| wym | hello | 04:43 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, sure I can not a bad ideia, but kind of inconvenient. I wanna let that as a last resource. | 04:43 |
| inflex | Seven_Six_Two: would 'splash' be the converse of 'quiet' ? | 04:44 |
| inflex | ansgar_n_: how about using jpeg tools to pull the creation date of the JPEG image and some other data and use that? | 04:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | inflex, I don't think so. just remove quiet | 04:44 |
| inflex | hmmm.. quiet wasn't in the list - oh well | 04:45 |
| PicCard | wolfslord: wine has come a long long way. It is a really good program... | 04:45 |
| ansgar_n_ | inflex, that would be great except that the {} will still bone me i think | 04:45 |
| monkers | hey im in the ubuntu server install at the end where it installs grub. its asking if i want to install to the first harddrive, but, i'd like to pick it on my own. do i click yes/no or go back ? | 04:45 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, my concern is about Windows virus and malwares. Don't they became a danger once I enable Wine? | 04:46 |
| ansgar_n_ | inflex, oh i see, not using {} in the output filename... | 04:46 |
| crimsonmane | wolfslord: no they are not a danger in WINE. you don't use WINE's internet explorer to browse the web | 04:46 |
| inflex | ansgar_n_: what about 'basename' | 04:46 |
| PicCard | wolfslord: what are you trying to run? | 04:46 |
| inflex | ansgar_n_: basename /usr/bin/sort => Output "sort". | 04:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | inflex, remove both quiet and splash | 04:47 |
| inflex | Seven_Six_Two: ta | 04:47 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, Minecraft. Sometimes crashes but ok. The problem is that I'm trying to install a mod to allow high quality texture packs | 04:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | from /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then run sudo update-grub | 04:47 |
| andrew2325 | there's always a danger of malware on any system, but you don't see it quite as much on linux. that doesn't mean it won't occur and doesn't currently occur either though | 04:48 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, this mod is a .jar program just like minecraft. But it refuses to run. | 04:48 |
| ansgar_n_ | inflex, sounds good. trying... | 04:48 |
| Xue | how install gnome2 on ubuntu12.04? | 04:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Xue, gnome-classic | 04:49 |
| Xue | it's not gnome2 | 04:49 |
| inflex | ansgar_n_: np, good luck | 04:49 |
| PicCard | wolfslord: VMware won't work for games. Wine is the way to go | 04:49 |
| andrew2325 | any good packages like kicker used to be for kde without a milllion other desktop environemnt related packages being required? | 04:49 |

| rexis | thanks | 04:51 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, Minecraft was supposed to run with only java. That's the way it works on Mac. But it frustrates that there a lot of issues when i try to run. | 04:51 |
| xangua | Seven_Six_Two: gnome fallback mode, wich Looks Like gnome2 | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | *sudo -i* | 04:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh. isn't there a project that continued it? like cinnamon or something? | 04:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I thought it was in use in maybe fedora or some other distro. | 04:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | maybe mint | 04:52 |

| Xue | this pic linke gnome2 .but it's xfce4. | 04:56 |
| wolfslord | PicCard, still if it have a linux version that is supposed to run with java. Is not that preferable? Just like the site mentions. | 04:56 |
| xangua | Xue: 8.04 is no longer supported, the only ubuntu version still supported that uses gnome 2 is lucid 10.04 wich has support for another 9 months | 04:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Xue, it's not supported any more, and it's not easy to upgrade from an unsupported version | 04:56 |
| xangua | 8 months :P | 04:57 |
| Xue | yes,i know. but what i want is gnome2. b | 04:57 |
| Xue | because i use it about many years. | 04:57 |
| andrew2325 | you'd probably have to manually remove and install the new package names to get that to work with new repositories | 04:57 |

| IdleOne | Remsi: there is no longer separate iso's for netbook. | 07:01 |
| Remsi | what is recommended that I install on my netbook? | 07:01 |
| brandonj | Remsi: recommended by who? ;) | 07:01 |
| IdleOne | Remsi: the regular Ubuntu iso is also for netbooks | 07:01 |
| andrew2325 | i'd use debian and skip the desktop environment install | 07:01 |
| andrew2325 | then install gnu/step | 07:01 |
| Remsi | I run ubuntu desktop on all my other machines... | 07:02 |
| Remsi | how intensive would the 32bit desktop version be on my netbook? | 07:02 |

| brophat | anyone have problems filling out a form that is in a pdf file? | 07:02 |
| brandonj | Remsi: if you're concerned about performance you can use xubuntu | 07:02 |

| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 07:09 |
| andrew2325 | i forget the switch to the update manager | 07:09 |
| andrew2325 | thanks ubottu | 07:09 |
| IdleOne | hack3r: 10.10 is no longer supported, you really should upgrade, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 07:09 |
| hack3r | well thing is i personally dont like gnome3 or it's unity at all.. so i want to stick with gnome2 | 07:10 |
| andrew2325 | i don't like it either hak3r | 07:10 |
| andrew2325 | but you should upgrade, and gnome-classic will be in the list of wm's | 07:11 |
| hack3r | andrew2325, thats why i just want to attempt to enable two finger scroll and possibly install the NEWer looking ubuntu store | 07:11 |
| hack3r | andrew2325, yea but again it's not the same.... i feel like its a little more sluggish too... well for this laptop anyways | 07:12 |
| andrew2325 | i agree | 07:12 |
| andrew2325 | i have a faster laptop hak3r, and i don't even use gnome. i use gnustep | 07:12 |
| IdleOne | hack3r: 10.10 is no longer supported, we can't help you. This channel does not support 10.10 anymore. | 07:12 |

| hack3r | IdleOne, you support 10.04 but not 10.10? that makes no sense.... | 07:13 |
| islandmonkey | hack3r: 10.04 is LTS release | 07:13 |
| IdleOne | hack3r: sure it does. 10.04 is a LTS. 10.10 does not receive any security updates. | 07:13 |
| hack3r | islandmonkey, so if i downgrade im welcome here? ....PFFFFFFTTT | 07:13 |
| islandmonkey | hack3r: Y U NO UPGRADE AND USE GNOME CLASSIC? | 07:14 |
| andrew2325 | bog central islandmonkey | 07:14 |
| islandmonkey | It's pretty close what it was | 07:15 |
| hack3r | islandmonkey, haha. because man... gnome3 is poop. themes are a pain in the ars too. | 07:15 |
| andrew2325 | staring at the sun made islandmonkey crazy | 07:15 |
| islandmonkey | hack3r: Y U NO UPGRADE AND DO SUDO APT-GET INSTALL XUBUNTU-DESKTOP? | 07:15 |
| IdleOne | islandmonkey: Please stop that | 07:16 |
| islandmonkey | It's the closest thing you can get to GNOME 2 | 07:16 |
| hack3r | islandmonkey, GNOME FTW!!! | 07:16 |
| hack3r | islandmonkey, yea cuz it uses...what mate..or cinnamon BS | 07:16 |
| nothingspecial | hack3r: gnome 2 is gone, finished, over. No point realy discussing it in a ubuntu support channel | 07:17 |
| andrew2325 | just upgrade and ditch gnome/xfce/kde/lxde altogether bud | 07:17 |
| islandmonkey | hack3r: Linux Mint is the best place to go to. | 07:17 |
| hack3r | nothingspecial, that brings tears to my eyes.... | 07:18 |
| luftikuss | I wonder what logfile logs the earliest steps of an Ubuntu 12.04 computer bootup. (steps before /var/log/dmesg sets in.) | 07:18 |
| hack3r | islandmonkey, yea i heard that its the closest...but in reality its just more BS packages installed... | 07:18 |
| hack3r | well... looks like i have no other choice.... 11.04 here i come!! | 07:19 |
| islandmonkey | hack3r: Well GNOME 2 is dead like it or not. There is 3 choices I have given you there. | 07:19 |

| stanley_ | I've been trying to boot a live usb .dmg of the most current version of chromium build by hexxeh | 08:47 |
| stanley_ | I wiped xp, installed ubuntu using the live usb method | 08:47 |
| stanley_ | I've been attempting to follow the instructions for ubuntu on hexxeh's blog, but I'm not well versed in terminal | 08:48 |
| stanley_ | so I always get, "operating system not found" when I boot to the newly created .iso | 08:48 |
| Shadow` | ur using ubuntu and u try to install a .dmg? | 08:48 |
| Shadow` | why not use .deb | 08:48 |
| stanley_ | I'm not familiar with that format | 08:49 |
| fidel | .dmg is usualy somekind of archive designed to be mounted on osx stanley_ | 08:49 |
| Shadow` | .dmg is OSX | 08:49 |
| ThinkT510 | !deb | stanley_ | 08:49 |
| ubottu | stanley_: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 08:49 |
| coldpizza72i | fidel: what logs should i log at, both /var/log/messages and /var/log/daemon.log are empty | 08:49 |
| stanley_ | sorry, .iso files | 08:49 |
| stanley_ | not .dmg | 08:49 |
| stanley_ | here are the instructions from the blog, When I enter these commands in terminal it doesnt work: "At the shell, run the following (where sdX is your USB stick and ChromeOS-Lime.img is the path to the IMG file you extracted): dd if=ChromeOS-Lime.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M" | 08:51 |
| TheSarge | I am trying to install Ubuntu but my thumbdrive is broken, is there a way to just create a Partition on my HDD and extract the iso to it, then install from that? | 08:51 |
| ThinkT510 | stanley_: chromeos has nothing to do with ubuntu | 08:51 |
| stanley_ | i know, but I'm using ubuntu as a last resort to create the boot usb | 08:52 |
| stanley_ | Every method I used in XP failed | 08:52 |
| ThinkT510 | stanley_: be careful using dd | 08:53 |

| paulus68 | is there a way to search in a txt file for characters like é,à,& enz and indicate on which line this can be found? | 08:55 |
| heroandtn3 | open that file by a editor then search | 08:57 |
| Auzy | grep paulus68 | 08:58 |
| paulus68 | heroandtn3: that would be the easiest part but I would like to have it in a bash script of some sort which makes it faster to treat especially when you have file with more then 50.000 lines to cover | 08:58 |
| paulus68 | Auzy: how would I achieve this? | 08:58 |
| somsip | paulus68: loop with LINE coming < file, then grep $LINE. Use a counter to track the line number | 08:59 |
| paulus68 | Auzy: by preference it would be helpfull that I get an output file where all the lines with special characters are found | 09:00 |
| Auzy | paulus > XXX | 09:00 |
| Auzy | Either way. you can do it by scripting | 09:01 |
| === SkyKnight is now known as sdfq | ||
| Auzy | you could also use awk maybe | 09:01 |
| paulus68 | Auzy: do you have an example or tutorial which I can use to find it | 09:01 |
| Auzy | you'd have to google it.. if you think you might need it often, it could even be worth learning Bash scripting | 09:02 |
| coldpizza72i | fidel: do you think you could take a look at my config file to see if you notice something wrong http://ideone.com/TljBC | 09:02 |
| Auzy | You could also code something quickly in php / Perl.. it doesn't take too long | 09:02 |
| paulus68 | Auzy: I know just a little bit of scripting | 09:03 |
| Auzy | If you know how to use Perl, or even PHP, you could code it in that | 09:03 |
| Auzy | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6161338/searching-string-in-a-file-and-outputting-the-line-number might help paulus68 | 09:04 |

| bioman | Using 12.04 Server at work, and now there is a proxy. Haven't found, even if Google is my friend, where the config file is... | 09:13 |
| sfjgk | morning all. I'm trying to compile some code that I've pulled from github. It should work, but for some reason I'm getting glib errors as in, undefines referneces to glib when i'm compiling. I installed libglib-dev, it's definitely there, but I just can't compile. | 09:14 |
| res22 | can you pastebin the errors | 09:15 |
| sfjgk | yeah sure, hold on | 09:15 |
| ThinkT510 | sfjgk: got build-essential? | 09:15 |
| TJ- | bioman: proxy for what? you need to be more precise | 09:15 |
| sfjgk | http://pastebin.com/LMu5GjDK | 09:16 |
| sfjgk | ThinkT510: yep | 09:16 |
| bioman | TJ-: for apt-get to access Internet | 09:16 |
| sfjgk | ThinkT510: IIRC, make is in build-essential, so i might have noticed :) | 09:16 |
| TJ- | bioman: You want apt to use an HTTP proxy, is that correct? | 09:16 |
| bioman | TJ-: yep | 09:17 |
| ThinkT510 | sfjgk: just so you know, there is also checkinstall to make things a little easier | 09:17 |
| ThinkT510 | !checkinstall | sfjgk | 09:17 |
| ubottu | sfjgk: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 09:17 |

| sfjgk | yeah | 09:20 |
| bioman | TJ-: thanks ! Have a nice day :) | 09:21 |
| TJ- | sfjgk: That's the package that contains, for example, the declaration of g_hash_table_new_full() ... so I'd be looking at the results on ./configure to check which libraries it found. Look especially at the config.log | 09:21 |
| === lubmil is now known as lub | ||
| sfjgk | I think the error is in the makefile but I'm not overly sure. It says to use glib there, so it should be using glib. I found some talk on the internet of static linking an dynamic linking, my thoughts are that because its doing a lot of compiling maybe theresa syntax error or something in the makefile, meaning the symbols in one executable don't seem to takj to another one | 09:21 |
| sfjgk | there isn't a .configure for this one :( | 09:21 |
| sfjgk | or a configure for that matter | 09:21 |

| sfjgk | ahhh ok | 09:40 |

| TJ- | sfjgk: We've got a linker error but the symbols we know should be in libglib-2.0.so | 09:40 |
| sfjgk | as on i386 ubuntu i had to set that to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/, it was missing the $arch-linux-gnu bit | 09:40 |

| sfjgk | i didn't think it was quite right, but I'm not really knowledgeable in code areas | 09:41 |

| ero-jiji | Jordan_U around by chance? | 11:46 |
| W4sp | b0ot: What you mean by 'easy to use'? | 11:46 |
| b0ot | easy to setup | 11:46 |
| b0ot | I know lots of things are possible in linux but some install lengthy installs, lots of manual conf file editing, compiling from source, undocumented etc | 11:47 |
| W4sp | b0ot: If you tried sendmail, postfix and the like you are probably appaled by M4 and such. :-) Did you have a look into OpenSMTPD? I don't know if it's ported though. | 11:47 |
| b0ot | I am looking for something that I can apt-get install and pretty much go from there | 11:48 |
| W4sp | b0ot: AFAIK there is no such thing. | 11:48 |
| ero-jiji | B0ot i dont think theres any "ready to install" packs, but gah w4sp beat me lol | 11:49 |
| ThinkT510 | b0ot: a server always requires configuration | 11:49 |
| b0ot | I don't mind configuration (although I prefer less of it) | 11:49 |
| b0ot | I just don't want to have to do a lot of work to get to the point where I can get the app running to do the configuration | 11:49 |

| b0ot | let me think about it | 11:55 |
| b0ot | and come back a bit more prepared | 11:55 |
| W4sp | b0ot: s/MTU/MUA | 11:55 |
| TJ- | b0ot: Postfix is the recommended MTA on Ubuntu, I run it, it is pretty straightforward to configure but I have to admit, having a web-GUI control panel (I use webmin) to access all its options makes it much easier to do quickly and with hints | 11:58 |
| ero-jiji | (TJ-): do you have any problems with webmin in ubuntu? i tried it out and couldnt get it working correctly | 11:59 |
| Iszak | Nevermind guys, turns out I had legacy boot kernels that was taking up space in my /boot/ partition, so if you have don't have space in /boot/ check your current kernal uname -r and remove old ones. | 11:59 |
| tasslehoff | W4sp: I'm writing a Qt-application that needs to check if a user is allowed to do something | 12:00 |
| coellobranco | ok | 12:00 |
| TJ- | ero-jiji: I've seen some Ubuntu folks say its not compatible, but I've been using Webmin/Virtualmin/usermin extensively to manage Ubuntu servers for 5 years and never had a problem with it interfering with me also editing configs manually | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | !webmin | 12:00 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 12:00 |
| ero-jiji | (TJ-): only part that i was able to get working was the mysql module and the file manager | 12:00 |
| TJ- | ero-jiji: It saves me hours of time to do simple things especially for virtual hosting of domains | 12:01 |
| ThinkT510 | !wfm | TJ- | 12:01 |
| ubottu | TJ-: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

| stevecam | are there any community-built versions of Ubuntu for Android? | 12:01 |
| W4sp | tasslehoff: I don't think I undertstand the requirements. Why do you need the password of that specific user for it? Would you not check if <user> is member of a specific group. To check the user's password you would passwd? That may not be feasable in Qt nor CLI. | 12:04 |

| ubottu | zaggynl: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 12:49 |
| zaggynl | nice | 12:49 |
| omido | subz3r0, I'm living in iran and we are facing the pro-zionst U.S lead embargos. thats why i think AMD might have blocked Iranians from downloading software like what google does | 12:49 |

| W4sp | benassi: 'sudo su' isn't recomended and I suggest to use sudo or gksudo. | 13:15 |
| omido | zykotick9, why? it gives you root access so that you can install applications and update system and do administrative tasks. i learnt it from ubuntu official wiki. what's wrong with it? | 13:15 |
| === SushiDude is now known as Guest45579 | ||
| MonkeyDust | omido if you work as root, you basically turn your pc into a windows machine, nobody wants that | 13:16 |
| cfhowlett | omido: sudo gives root access but shuts automatically downgrades root privileges after oh, 10 minutes I think. | 13:16 |
| w0rm_x | so sudo su would not shut the root access? | 13:17 |
| bazhang | omido, sudo -i , if you must | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | w0rm_x: not automatically | 13:17 |
| W4sp | omido: sudo <command> It to run a specific program with privileged rights. To run as root interactively can leave the system open to vulnerabilities. | 13:17 |
| w0rm_x | great thats what I been looking for. | 13:17 |
| thufir_ | after you add a repo to /etc/apt/sources.list how do you "refresh" apt? | 13:17 |
| subz3r0 | su = sudo -s, if you dont know what youre doing, its not good to use this. | 13:17 |
| ThinkT510 | if you need a root terminal (very rare) use sudo -i | 13:17 |
| subz3r0 | u can damage your system... | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | thufir_: sudo apt-get update | 13:17 |

| omido | Sorry guys.comming from opensuse i just used "su" there when i wanted to be root and i added a sudo to other commands which i wanted to do as root.i also had 2 seprate file managers and terminals for root and normal user there.but i'm still a noob and i'm learning linux and now i use sudo su on ubuntu | 13:18 |
| W4sp | Besides, if you need advice on how to su - and sudo -i ou're not up to the task what's about to come next. | 13:18 |
| w0rm_x | can sudo su damage my system? | 13:18 |
| zykotick9 | w0rm_x: yes | 13:18 |
| w0rm_x | why? | 13:18 |
| zykotick9 | w0rm_x: the environment variables are wrong then | 13:18 |
| W4sp | w0rm_x: NO, but subsequent executed commands can. | 13:19 |
| thufir_ | thanks | 13:19 |
| w0rm_x | what if I wanted to manually control the root access instead of typing sudo every 10 m? | 13:19 |
| bazhang | sudo -i w0rm_x | 13:20 |
| zykotick9 | w0rm_x: lol - sudo is longer then 10 minutes, and gets reset every time you use sudo | 13:20 |

| deebee396 | centrelink: I've done that a few times, it still has the same error. | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | deebee396: IIRC it's some kind of MBR thing. I think the fix was to actually wipe/reformat the drive, not just repartition. | 13:24 |
| centrelink | deebee396: I'd honestly just ignore it since ubuntu is the only thing that has ever said it to me | 13:24 |

| deebee396 | Ok thanks, would that risk apply to the other partitions that don't have the error but are on the same disk? | 13:26 |
| sandyd | Calahan, its not worth it - for that price you can probably get 10K disks for the same size in RAID1 | 13:27 |

| sandyd | Calahan, just like HDDs, SSDs fail, so it is better to have them in RAID 1 | 13:32 |
| kyle6513 | MonkeyDust: I'll give that a look though | 13:32 |
| sandyd | since you would have very little Gigs then, it is better to simply use Enterprise SATA3s | 13:33 |
| sandyd | same speed for same price + more storage | 13:33 |
| Calahan | sandyd yes i mean raid 1 is what i want, don't realy care about speed | 13:33 |

| DJones | thufir_: It installs via a text based installer, but does install a GUI on the target system | 13:49 |
| thufir_ | DJones: ahhh. ok, can I stop it from installing a GUI somehow? | 13:50 |
| bazhang | thufir_, xubuntu-desktop or other -desktop sure | 13:50 |
| fidel | Blazemore: but i am pretty sure one big cl-IM client wasnt mentioned so far - but i dont remeber its name either right now | 13:50 |
| thufir_ | bazhang: do you mean I should download a different disc, or is that an install option? | 13:51 |
| savio | hello | 13:51 |

| bazhang | thufir_, install the package, choose from login window | 13:52 |
| extrasolar | Does anyone know a good terminal based IRC client that is simple to use and is not IRSSI or Weechat? | 13:53 |
| thufir_ | bazhang: oh, I see. what I mean is that I don't want a GUI installed by the disc. I just want it to install console, network, stuff like that. | 13:53 |
| DJones | !minimal | thufir_ I think this may help, | 13:54 |
| ubottu | thufir_ I think this may help,: 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 | 13:54 |
| thufir_ | aha. minimial instead of alternate. got it, thanks :) | 13:54 |

| DJones | thufir_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD Has links to the minimal install cd's | 14:01 |
| DJones | thufir_: Be aware that it downloads most of the files from the web during installation | 14:02 |
| thufir_ | DJones: yes, I see that, and was downloading, thanks. It's curious that "minimal" isn't available from the download link, at least not that I see. | 14:02 |
| DJones | thufir_: Agreed, that confused me as well | 14:02 |
| thufir_ | I think they hide it. oh well, got it squared away :) | 14:03 |
| thufir_ | To **upgrade**, I would need the **alternate** cd, though, and not the minimal? | 14:03 |

| TJ- | ix_: I've just tried it. With Edit > Preferences > Browser > "Thumbnail size:" = 256 it looks very close | 15:47 |
| xangua | fizyplankton: 10.04 has only another 8 months of support | 15:47 |

| fizyplankton | darn. and will X be changed in 12.04? | 15:47 |

| bazhang | fizyplankton, 12.04 is out already | 15:48 |
| fizyplankton | i mean did X change since lucid? | 15:49 |
| bazhang | fizyplankton, the proposed change for 12.10 was using wayland, which wont happen then after all | 15:49 |
| nick_h | Bigbird, TJ-: that makes sense, though this laptop has a dedicated video card. unfortunately, it uses EFI rather than BIOS, so i don't think there's a way to disable the shared video memory | 15:49 |
| TJ- | nick_h: If you disabled it, you'd have no video :D | 15:50 |
| fidel | fizyplankton: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ gives you an overview about packages in 12.04 | 15:50 |
| Bigbird | hello | 15:50 |
| TJ- | nick_h: "shared video memory" means something different. It means the video adaptor has no memory of its own and 'borrows' system RAM instead | 15:50 |
| ix_ | TJ-: yes, seems pretty close, although it makes some of them look weird | 15:51 |
| fizyplankton | fidel: i just dont want to have to spend ANOTHER 14 hours rewriting the damn xorg.conf file to get 4 monitors working across 2 video cards. since im on my phone right now, does anyone know if xcinerama works in 12.04? | 15:52 |

| fidel | fizyplankton: and i was just trying to point you to the official docs giving pretty much infos about current packages in the current lts release. wish you good luck with the screen setup ;) | 15:54 |
| fizyplankton | !help info | 15:54 |
| fidel | fizyplankton: info works like: !info PACKAGENAME | 15:54 |

| wilee-nilee | KingPin, there is a whole thread at the ubuntu forums. | 18:18 |
| Kingsy | wilee-nilee: is there a site with a big list of them? I googled around a while ago but ended up picking most of the scripts up from forums.. | 18:18 |
| bob_ | windows and macs are having the same problem, I think they have including code into Chrome that has caused this delay but have no proof of it | 18:18 |
| auronandace | Kingsy: yeah, the default conky is awful, i can show you mine if you want | 18:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Kingsy, not that I have seen usually like here are 10 to look at, people build these themselves. | 18:19 |
| Kingsy | auronandace: yeah please.. imgur ? | 18:19 |
| auronandace | Kingsy: one mo | 18:19 |
| bean | bob_: they changed how chrome works, I think. Now there is a background process that sits idle after the first time you open it. I think. | 18:19 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest78679 | ||
| Kingsy | auronandace: that does look cooool.. I might have a look around :) | 18:19 |
| bob_ | ya i know i like chrome except the this initial delay:( | 18:20 |
| bean | bob_: what does it matter after the initial opening of it? I usually just leave my browser open. | 18:21 |
| auronandace | Kingsy: http://imagebin.org/224554 | 18:21 |
| bob_ | its called being spoiled:) | 18:21 |
| Kingsy | auronandace: hmm not bad.. mine looks a LITTLE like that.. but with less features | 18:21 |
| bob_ | another issue 12.04 doesn't display panel when running of the cd anyone know the solution to this. Hard to impress new users when this happens:( | 18:23 |
| wilee-nilee | bob_, which panel? | 18:25 |
| bob_ | the vertical one on the left | 18:25 |
| mora | hi!, how can I install VIA C7-M processor graphic | 18:25 |
| mora | ? | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | bob_, should you does on my setup. | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | you=it | 18:25 |
| bean | mora: that's a processor, not a video card. | 18:26 |
| islandmonkey | mora: processor graphic??????????? | 18:26 |
| bob_ | i'm running on a couple of dell 6400's i'm suspecting my video card | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | bob_, these have lower ram as well if I remember correctly? | 18:27 |
| bob_ | 2 gig is what i'm running | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | graphic drivers yeah bob_ | 18:27 |
| bean | bob_: try using the "session" to unity-2d. | 18:27 |
| mora | sorry, my english is too bad. Now i am on a hp mini runing win XP and via processor appears to be a graphic chipset on control panel | 18:28 |
| bean | mora: this channel is for ubuntu, not windows. | 18:28 |
| bob_ | what is strange my 10.04 cds work great and demo well. how do u force 12.04 to boot in 2d mode off the cd? | 18:28 |
| mora | yes, i need to install graphics on ubuntu 12.04 running on this hp 2133 | 18:29 |
| wilee-nilee | bob_, you might just load a thumb with the ISO and have persistence, and load the drivers for the card. | 18:30 |
| superbbbfab | i would java sun on my ubuntu | 18:30 |
| superbbbfab | how can i do? | 18:30 |
| bob_ | i'm out of here thanks for the input folks | 18:30 |
| bean | mora: do the graphics not work currently? | 18:30 |
| ThinkT510 | !java | superbbbfab | 18:30 |
| ubottu | superbbbfab: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 18:30 |
| Kingsy | see this is the problem, I just downloaded a conky theme, they just never work | 18:31 |
| Kingsy | errors errors errors.. heh | 18:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Kingsy, put them in home named .conkyrc | 18:31 |
| Kingsy | wilee-nilee: yeah I did | 18:31 |
| ThinkT510 | Kingsy: a whole lot of conky themes include scripts | 18:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Kingsy, one at a time of course and run conky & exit in a terminal | 18:32 |
| W4sp | Kingsy: conky themes usually contain README or INSTALL files that need to be followed. | 18:32 |
| teach | hi | 18:32 |
| bean | teach, hello, please ask a question if you have one. | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | W4sp, hardly these are just scripts | 18:33 |
| Kingsy | W4sp: I have never seen a theme with a readme, I think I need a decent source | 18:33 |
| teach | does anyone ever encountered this sound problem: the sound unexpectedely stop from working | 18:33 |
| teach | beside the sound card being recognized | 18:33 |
| teach | the volume working and *everything* else | 18:33 |
| Peetee | teach yes, input sound stopped immediately after disconnecting cam | 18:34 |
| teach | nop | 18:34 |
| teach | i was looking a video on youtube 30min ago | 18:34 |
| teach | and it just stopped | 18:34 |
| Peetee | teach flashplayer crashed? | 18:34 |
| teach | if i plug my headphones everything works fine | 18:34 |
| teach | Peetee: nop | 18:34 |
| W4sp | wilee-nilee: Kingsy It often explains where to copy the file(s), eg in ~/.conky/ dir or add into ~/.conkyrc. | 18:34 |
| teach | flash is still working | 18:35 |
| Peetee | and headphones also working yes? | 18:35 |
| teach | yep | 18:35 |
| teach | that's some weird magic | 18:35 |
| Peetee | teach what about playing with terminal and write pavucontrol | 18:35 |
| Peetee | teach or sudo alsamixer | 18:35 |
| teach | Peetee: i tried to play with aplay but it doesn't worked | 18:36 |
| teach | (unless with headphones) | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | W4sp, maybe some you have seen have but the majority probably over 95% on the web do not for example there is a thread on the ubuntu forum with 1000"s of posts not one has any specifics but the script | 18:36 |
| Peetee | teach and simple restart of PC? | 18:36 |
| Peetee | teach sudo shutdown -r now | 18:36 |
| mora | Sorry, How could I install VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family on Ubuntu 12.04. | 18:36 |
| teach | Peetee: i restarted it twice | 18:37 |
| Peetee | teach do you have dualboot with windows? | 18:37 |
| Peetee | does it work there | 18:37 |
| Layke | Dr_Willis, No, no minecraft? lol. Why do you mention minecraft? | 18:37 |
| teach | nop i only have ubuntu on this laptop | 18:37 |
| Peetee | teach does it work in live cd? | 18:37 |
| Layke | jaymz, Thanks for that on the ps -fw 13979 :) Found it now. ps -aux | grep java showed me actually too | 18:38 |
| Kingsy | haha this is pretty funny actually, I have tried 10, not one has worked.. at all | 18:38 |
| teach | doesnt have a live cd right here sorry | 18:38 |
| W4sp | wilee-nilee: I'm not going to argue over petty scripts or themes. You win. | 18:38 |
| Peetee | teach which version of ubuntu is it? | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 18:38 |
| teach | last one | 18:38 |
| === niee is now known as stivan | ||
| teach | 12.04 | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | W4sp, I was not arguing, your premise suggested suggestions as a norm to a person trying to understand it was not helpful is all. | 18:39 |
| teach | it seems like the sound just stopped to go through the speaker | 18:39 |
| === stivan is now known as niee | ||
| Peetee | teach U should run: pkill pulseaudio | 18:40 |
| Peetee | teach and then try it again on youtube | 18:40 |
| W4sp | wilee-nilee: In that case I trust by now the confusion is gone. | 18:40 |
| N_T | can anybody let me know how to remove packages from the ubuntu installer CD | 18:40 |
| ThinkT510 | !remaster | N_T | 18:41 |
| ubottu | N_T: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 18:41 |
| teach | Peetee: still nothing | 18:41 |
| N_T | and add other pacakages like open office | 18:41 |
| qubit[01] | I want to list the sizes for all the files I am finding with 'find . -name templates.bson' , how would I do that ? | 18:41 |
| teach | that's really weird because it's playing well with headphones | 18:41 |
| Peetee | teach I really don t know... hmm.. maybe somebody else.. | 18:42 |
| jrib | qubit[01]: see the -printf option or the -exec option to find | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | common audio issue - getting sound from speakers and not headphones, or the reverse.. or from both ;) | 18:43 |
| bean | qubit[01]: find . -name "templates.bson" -exec du -sh {} \; | 18:43 |
| Peetee | Dr_Willis: and your advice? | 18:43 |
| teach | Dr_Willis: ? | 18:44 |
| armenb_ | in ubuntu 12.04, how do i change workspace settings? | 18:44 |
| teach | well, the problem is that it was working fine until now | 18:44 |
| armenb_ | right clicking on the workspace icon does nothing | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Peetee: check the forums and askubuntu.com to many varablrs for a standard 'fix' | 18:44 |
| armenb_ | left-clicking brings up all 4 default workspaces in their default configuration. | 18:44 |
| teach | and i was doing nothing beside looking at the screen :') | 18:45 |
| Peetee | Dr_Willis: I did - many articles, I thought you ve got the right one | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Peetee: a lot depends on the chipset from what ive read | 18:45 |
| Peetee | teach: this? : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | as i said its a common issue.. with no 'standard' fix | 18:45 |
| wilee-nilee | armenb_, What are you trying to change | 18:45 |
| === niee is now known as stivan | ||
| BuPy7 | What font default in XChat? | 18:46 |
| armenb_ | wilee-nilee: I want 8 workspaces, in one big line. plus, i want to be able to switch between them using alt-# | 18:46 |
| bean | BuPy7: I would imagine that it's in the settings for xchat. | 18:47 |
| Dr_Willis | armenb_: in unity? or gnome?or what? | 18:47 |
| donsd | I am a little confused by awk, nawk, mawk, etc. Which one do most people use? And how to print line number. NR does not seem to work for me. | 18:47 |
| armenb_ | Dr_Willis: I have no clue what unity is. how do i access it? | 18:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !unity | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 18:47 |
| teach | Dr_Willis: is it a common when it just suddenly stop from working ? | 18:47 |
| BuPy7 | What font default in XChat? | 18:48 |
| teach | common issue* | 18:48 |
| bean | BuPy7: Check the settings for xchat. | 18:48 |
| W4sp | BuPy7: By default x-chat uses the system font that you can override in x-chat settings. | 18:48 |
| Dr_Willis | teach: try an older kernel, could be a kernel update issue | 18:48 |
| armenb_ | is there an easy way to tell whether im running unity or gnome? | 18:48 |
| ThinkT510 | armenb_: screenshot | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | armenb_, you can add more in the compizconfig settings manager which needs installing as far as right to left or left to right I'm not sure. | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | armenb_: you for a left side panel?what do you have selected on the login screen? | 18:49 |
| === N_T_ is now known as N_T | ||

| Dr_Willis | !manual | armenb_ | 18:49 |
| ubottu | armenb_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 18:49 |
| bean | N_T: why? Are you imaging multiple systems and want to only have to configure once? | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | armenb_: compare to the manuals screen shots ;) | 18:50 |
| wilee-nilee | armenb_, you could set up a 8 sided cube and use the flat out function to go between dektopd maybe, I stopped using unity a while back though. | 18:50 |
| Star_Clusters | !help | 18:50 |

| N_T | Yes I need to create custom Installation with fixed software packages in the installer along with some customization with the boot screen, wallpaper & theme of the default Ubuntu after Installation, this is custome distribution will be used by my group of machines | 18:52 |
| BuPy7 | There was anothe. But Tahoma. | 18:52 |

| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: What is "vb"? | 18:53 |
| WeThePeople | virtualbox | 18:53 |
| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: You need to delete the virtual disk. | 18:53 |

| alusion | Is there a helpful guide to getting security enhanced ubuntu? | 18:58 |

| superbbbfab | no it's a game dvd iso | 19:08 |
| armenb_ | "dpkg -i" lets me install local packages, but no dependencies; "apt-get install" takes care of dependencies but doesn't seem to have a local package option. am i just screwed and have to do this manually? | 19:08 |
| bean | superbbbfab: then it should appear on your computer. Is it a windows dvd? | 19:08 |
| Pessimist | armenb_, if you install with apt-get it fetches/solves dependencies automatically but if you install local .deb it only checks if your system meets the dependencies | 19:09 |
| superbbbfab | it's a windows game | 19:09 |
| superbbbfab | i use wine | 19:09 |
| superbbbfab | but i don't know his track | 19:09 |
| superbbbfab | i mount iso with right click | 19:09 |
| bean | superbbbfab: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619250 give that a read | 19:10 |
| bean | armenb_: what package are you trying to install. | 19:10 |
| armenb_ | bean - a local deb file that was given to me by someone else. | 19:11 |
| TJ- | armenb_: You can use "dpkg --force-depends -i <package>" which makes warnings non-fatal, then you can ensure the depencies are installed with "apt-get -f install" | 19:11 |
| armenb_ | i realize i could probably do this in two steps, but I'm kinda surprised that there isn't a simple one-command way to do this. | 19:11 |

| Alex_____ | exactly | 19:52 |
| wilee-nilee | ms_daisy, hey whats up? | 19:52 |

| ms_daisy | hey wilee-nilee :) just trying to figure out why my ssh server died. Good to see you | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal: you could use mutt | 19:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Alex_____, your answers are not really making sense read carefully and answer as such, For example I asked if nothing happened with the f6 you said yes then said it had 4 or 5 options, the key here is comunication. | 19:55 |
| grendal | ya i got this server...i need to just send an email when something happens the script is worked out...its just the sending part. We use MS 365 so...trying to figure if thats the issue... | 19:56 |
| bean | grendal: you should just be able to use the "mail" command to send it | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal: you could give a script to telnet to telnet to the server and send an email that way possibly | 19:56 |
| Alex_____ | no wilee sorry if you misunderstood i meant f6 does not do anything but on the gui screen there are 4 or 5 options | 19:56 |
| bean | Alex_____: you should probably tab-complete people's name. | 19:57 |
| brennan | Is there any way to speed up wvdial? | 19:57 |
| grendal | bean so do i need any mta installed to use mail? | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Alex_____, no biggie did you lok at the nomodeset link the bot gave? | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | look* | 19:57 |
| bean | grendal not to send, I don't think. | 19:57 |

| ActionParsnip | monkey-d-luffy: you aren't using ubuntu so you aren't supported here in any way | 20:28 |
| mnice | don't use please ifconfig but ip instead | 20:28 |

| gribouille | hi | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | monkey-d-luffy: channel policy | 20:29 |
| n00bl0v3r | looks like a pretty busy channel... ofcourse, why will it not be! | 20:29 |
| auronandace | monkey-d-luffy: this channel can only support ubuntu | 20:29 |
| monkey-d-luffy | refrain from responding if you don't want to help. not very hard. | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mnice: system to be pinged is ubuntu, so we need ifconfig | 20:29 |
| bean | monkey-d-luffy: no, seriously, it's policy. | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | monkey-d-luffy: I am enforcing channel policy, its quite simple | 20:30 |
| bz | mnice: what's wrong with ifconfig? | 20:30 |
| gribouille | I updated the flash player from 10.3 to 11.2 (using the standard repos), and now when I watch a video on youtube, the colors are modified. what does it mean? | 20:30 |
| vicium\a | Let me know if anyone has a hunch, first 20 pages of google didnt cut it :p | 20:30 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, ive done that and tried to ping that ip | 20:30 |
| monkey-d-luffy | forget i ever mentioned i am using some derivative. can i know how to install ubuntu software center from apt-get, if i am using THE ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| mnice | ActionParsnip: please check out for some article describing the difference between ip and ifconfig .. actually, ifconfig tries poorly now to emulate ip .. you have had to drop ifconfig years ago if you mean it seriously with linux | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | monkey-d-luffy: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian. If you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here | 20:31 |

| maheanuu | ActionParsnip, I am having a problem mounting a drive that is pretty full, and is in the NTFS format, It is telling me that mount exited with an exit code 13 | 20:31 |
| bean | monkey-d-luffy:on ubuntu you would sudo apt-get install software-center | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mnice: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1147550/ its not in a default install.. | 20:31 |
| monkey-d-luffy | bean: thanks | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | maheanuu: what does exit code 13 mean? | 20:32 |
| mnice | ActionParsnip: yes, and that's still not reason to keep retarded if it is a default | 20:32 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, yes sir | 20:32 |
| Edgan | TJ-: seems to be working out | 20:32 |
| bean | mnice: it's default, it's been replaced by the "ip" command, not ipconfig. | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mnice: it guaruntees the command will work rather than getting errors and commands cannot be used, as they won't exist by default | 20:33 |
| maheanuu | It sayts that ntfs is incosistent and they are telling me I need to run chkdsk on windows and reboot twice | 20:33 |
| vicium\a | "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open sha red object file: No such file or directory" any clue? | 20:33 |
| soman | Hi all. I'm going to left Windows and use Ubuntu. Can you write me what is the WinAPI analog in Linux? What I should to use if I want to write for example a GUI app which plays *.wav sound? | 20:33 |

| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, im going to reboot win7 aswell back in a few min | 20:33 |
| gribouille | xangua, seem to solve the problem, thanks | 20:33 |
| maheanuu | I don't have windows on any machine, and this is an external drive | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vicium\a: what is causing the error? | 20:34 |
| guntbert | ActionParsnip: the command is ip, not ipconfig - you type ip address show in that case | 20:34 |
| bean | guntbert: i believe it's just ip addr | 20:34 |
| vicium\a | Opening a .sh file | 20:34 |
| mnice | or in short: ip a s ## possibly without show hence show is default action | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | guntbert: ip just gives options on the command itself | 20:34 |
| Malthus | I have a question regarding add-apt-repository in quantal. /usr/bin/add-apt-repository is missing in dev snapshot 2, despite the relevant packages being installed by default. Does this mean that the package is broken and I need to wait for it to be fixed? | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vicium\a: do you mean a bash script? | 20:35 |
| Deth | Try ifconfig | 20:35 |

| * n00bl0v3r is sorry that he is asking this question but anyone can post any problem here? | 20:35 | |

| OerHeks | n00bl0v3r, sure, as long it is ubuntu-related. | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Pessimist: or use ifconfig, much easier imho | 20:35 |

| Malthus | trism: roger I'll head there | 20:36 |
| maheanuu | ActionParsnip, what I need to know is can I run chkdsk on an external drive and do the reboot twice from the USB? | 20:36 |
| vicium\a | ActionParsnip: I believe it's using outdated libraries that's no longer in the repos | 20:36 |
| n00bl0v3r | auronandace, oops, just found the answer , thanks anyway! :) | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | vicium\a: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 20:36 |

| maheanuu | ActionParsnip, I can do a paste if you would like to read the complete error code information | 20:40 |
| vicium\a | Maybe you missed the line i said previously, i solved the package problem or whatever one would like to call it now I got another 'new' error "Unable to determine CPU Frequency. Try defining CPU_MHZ." | 20:40 |
| Fuchs | bean: then at least change the ident, else you won't get into #winehq | 20:41 |

| Siegel- | hello, i have ubuntu 12.04. i recently upgraded my dsl connection from 5MB download speed to 15 MB, yet there has been little change in the speed of streaming videos/regular surfing. could there be an ubuntu restriction that can be removed? | 21:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, you probably are throttled | 21:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, have you run a speed check | 21:15 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: im not quite sure as to what that means. and how can i go about changing that? | 21:15 |
| fitnerd | does anyone know a way to recreate all system users created by dpkg postinst? | 21:15 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: yes through two websites and they do indeed indicate 15 mb | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, throttling would be by the provider | 21:15 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: ok. what does that mean? how can i explain that to them? | 21:16 |
| mnice | fitnerd: no way .. the user creation is triggered by several packages | 21:16 |
| iceroot | arcaran: #vmware | 21:16 |
| iceroot | !alis | arcaran | 21:16 |
| ubottu | arcaran: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 21:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, they will limit te=he speed of downloads, and I doubt they will change that, kit is for everybody having a smooth internet connection in theory | 21:17 |
| mnice | and there's no way to re-run the scripts .. you need to find out what packages create uswers and then --reconfigure | 21:17 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: they said, when i upgraded that i now belong to a "private" network only for high speed users. yet there has been little to no change. this pisses me off as i pay much more for this | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | the* | 21:17 |
| mnice | but that's rather dumb method | 21:17 |
| arcaran | thanks | 21:17 |
| MonkeyDust | !virtual > arcaran | 21:17 |
| ubottu | arcaran, please see my private message | 21:17 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: read what i said about private network. so do you suggest just switching back to 5mb? cause its really the same but this costs a lot m ore | 21:17 |
| fitnerd | mnice: yes, I have been able to grep /var/lib/dpkg/info/*postinst and find they are all added by calls to adducer.. just want to recreate them and the grep is a little lacking | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, I don't know what your provider provides it would not hurt to ask them they know what throttling is, not sure if this is a admitted practice though. | 21:18 |
| mnice | fitnerd: dpkg --reconfigure is the only way i'd realize .. but i might lack the knowledge so verify | 21:18 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: i see. it just really pisses me off. i cant freaking stream anything properly. its annoying. do you think this has anything to do with an ubuntu related restriction though/ | 21:19 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: also i would not know what throttling would be called in hebrew | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, I would not know for sure if OS related, but if you get a 15MIB with a test it seems to be fine. | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, not a clue. ;) | 21:20 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: shouldnt that be sufficient to at least stream without interruption? i mean, 15mb is not slow | 21:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, Streaming and downloads as they are a steady draw are throttled is my understanding. | 21:21 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: do you think it might have to do with my computer being old? even though it works better than most newer computers ive come across. it doesnt lag, its fast, it boots super fast etc | 21:22 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: thats the only reason i got the faster connection. seems to be futile. | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, not sure really, you get 15MIB with a test what do you think? That is a short stream, not a steady one. | 21:22 |
| p3rtutt1 | compiling ubuntu to our own machine is worthy? | 21:23 |
| Siegel- | what do you mean by short? | 21:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, short in that it is a test not a running stream. | 21:23 |
| Siegel- | i see | 21:24 |
| Siegel- | how can i check it then? for streaming | 21:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, I don't know to be honest, I would look on the web. | 21:25 |
| Siegel- | im searching | 21:25 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: ok im reading threads that mention that it isnt my ethernet speed that is getting in the way, it is my connection to the ISP. but im not sure what that is | 21:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, I doubt that, | 21:27 |

| trism | djzn: do you have a list of what was? | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: it will only open /etc/sysctl.conf that's the file to edit.. | 21:34 |
| djzn | trism: the only gnome package was gnome-power-manager | 21:34 |
| Joel-re | hey would it be fine to install a sun-java6 package from 'oneric/natty' into 'precise' | 21:34 |
| Joel-re | ? | 21:34 |
| djzn | trism: it may really look as a permission issue.... | 21:34 |
| djzn | trism: i don't have that list on me right now | 21:35 |
| Joel-re | cant seem to locate a sun-java6-jdk package for 'precise' | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Joel-re: why not try the java ppa/ | 21:35 |
| Siegel- | ActionParsnip: oh right the other one was just "untitled" ActionParsnip alright. so i add the lines and then click "save"? | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, I believe you can get non throttled service, but you have to specify that and find the providers, a regular IP may or may not do this I suspect. | 21:35 |

| djzn | Joel-re, there isn't any 'sun' anymore | 21:35 |

| Joel-re | djzn: yeah | 21:36 |
| Siegel- | wilee-nilee: i see, but why dont they tell me my internet connection will be the same fucking speed as before while they charge me double | 21:36 |
| Siegel- | ActionParsnip: i see. i did that. do i need to reboot? | 21:36 |
| Joel-re | djzn: but I should be able to install the package for oneric/natty? | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Joel-re: its oracle java, the license changed so it had to be removed | 21:36 |
| Joel-re | onto precise | 21:36 |
| djzn | Joel-re, you'll need to run the oracle installer or find a repo that backported it | 21:36 |
| Joel-re | ActionParsnip: yes, I have an app that depends on it | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: no, it should apply straight away. Have you tried www.speedtest.net | 21:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Siegel-, you have heard of the open free market I assume. | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: I get http://www.speedtest.net/result/2119906306.png | 21:36 |
| trism | djzn: I'm not sure how it could but, I wrote a program that will immediately update the cursor and runs as my current user (still broken if you try to resize again, but another run will fix it) | 21:36 |
| Siegel- | ActionParsnip: yep it always shows up alright on there, yet you saw the results on my bandwidth | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Joel-re: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html | 21:37 |
| djzn | trism: i am gonna get that list of updates so that you can look at | 21:37 |
| trism | djzn: excellent, thanks | 21:37 |
| Joel-re | ActionParsnip: thanks, will look | 21:37 |

| trism | djzn: this is the code, for reference ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1147672/ ), I can use the very same code to break cursor resizing in fedora | 21:39 |
| phoenixia | bye | 21:39 |

| ActionParsnip | Joel-re: the PPA I gave will install oracle java for you and java will work | 21:41 |
| Siegel- | ActionParsnip: it should still be around 14000 though | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: try www.speedtest.net | 21:42 |

| Siegel- | ActionParsnip: fuck i only got 4.56 now!!! im calling my provider!! | 21:43 |
| yoophglup | DSL max speeds depend on how far away from their central office or remote terminal, they will sell you any package you order but physical location will limit what you can actually have. | 21:43 |
| Arachnophobia | I have a wifi problem. My ubuntu somehow thinks I have like 25 network controlers (with each being the same). Is there a way to reset it somehow. Restarting doesnt solve it the problem | 21:43 |
| Siegel- | yoophglup: its not farther than like 80km, couldnt be | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: try super late at night, see how fast it goes then | 21:44 |
| yoophglup | probably not then. | 21:44 |

| n00bl0v3r | ActionParsnip, I am a bit lost with the irc... hope you don't mind me asking the list of channels that I see, are those channels listed in dns of only freenode or is it the list of all the channels available on every network... (sorry for being dumb and all) ? | 21:44 |

| n00bl0v3r | zykotick9, any hints on how I can connect to those? | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | Arachnophobia: tab fail ;) what does "ifconfig" show | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | n00bl0v3r: off the top of my head - sorry i don't... i set it up once in my irssi config, and don't have to worry about it again | 21:47 |
| Arachnophobia | eth1, lo and rename34 | 21:47 |

| bobweaver | n00bl0v3r, best to ask on the cahnnel #freenode | 21:48 |
| n00bl0v3r | zykotick9 : oh alright I'll try something - I'll get the hang of it soon, hopefully! | 21:48 |
| zykotick9 | Arachnophobia: there is someway (but i don't know it), to reset udev to re-enumerate stuff... but sorry i've once done it a couple times to rename eth1 back to eth0... but don't know the steps off hand | 21:48 |
| tigerauge | hi | 21:49 |
| n00bl0v3r | bobweaver : I tried that, connecting through the server command, but it always gives me unidentified nick or something like that... do I need to register my nick or somethig? | 21:49 |

| tigerauge | i`ve got... | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Siegel-: then thats about right, you have a 16 megabits connection, divide by 8 should pull down about 1.6Mb/s so its near enough | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | Siegel-: Can you give an example of one major one? Youtube is a good test because you know if there is an issue with bandwith it's not on their end, and Youtube is working for you. | 22:26 |

| Siegel- | Jordan_U: say vidbux, gorillavid, movreel etc | 22:27 |

| Jordan_U | Siegel-: ActionParsnip wanted you to try using wget to download a a large file from a known fast server, (I would argue that cdimage.ubuntu.com was a bad choice in that respect) so he chose an Ubuntu iso. The file itself isn't important. | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | ero-jiji: Yes. | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: I guess | 22:33 |

| Jordan_U | ero-jiji: Nice. Did you happen to save the output from fsck? (if not, it's not important. I'd just like to see it out of curiousity). | 22:35 |
| ero-jiji | Jordan_U since i ran it through ssh it disconnected me for 3 hours , does it auto create a log somewhere? | 22:36 |
| moveer-envigado | i did but when i try to play a video, just a can watch a black scream | 22:36 |
| moveer-envigado | zykotick9:i did but when i try to play a video, just a can watch a black scream | 22:36 |
| Jordan_U | ero-jiji: I'm not sure. Try /var/log/fsck/checkfs . | 22:37 |

| OerHeks | moveer-envigado, did you install any hardware driver for your videocard ? | 22:39 |
| pc | monkers: - You could not "delete" a gateway assigned to an IP address in the gui thing. However if he deleted the IP, and re-added the IP without a gateway, it worked ok. | 22:39 |
| pc | So, in essence, it had a g/w defined. | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. I cant seem to find a video at youtube that plays in the html5 mode.. they are all wanting to use flash here. Even the 'how to watch html5 video in ubuntu' video. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2UxTqbMHaY | 22:39 |
| moveer-envigado | not, i think it install it alone | 22:40 |
| OerHeks | that one works fine her, Dr_Willis | 22:40 |
| ero-jiji | Jordan_U theres a checkfs and checkroot doc there, but both are empty | 22:40 |
| bobweaver | Dr_Willis, just add &webm=1 at the end of any video I thought | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | OerHeks: could be somthing odd here in 12.10 ff and chrome are both playing that video in Flash. | 22:40 |

| moveer-envigado | or maybe there's something wrong with the flash player version! | 22:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm even doing the &webm=1 i right click on the video and the menu still says 'about flash player' at the bottom | 22:42 |
| bobweaver | up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2UxTqbMHaY&webm=1 works ok with out flash | 22:42 |

| harushimo | when installing drupal on ubuntu, where is the default.settings.php file at? | 22:44 |
| suhaib | Salman, Yes ! let me see If I can help | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: sudo updatedb; locate setting | grep php | 22:45 |
| harushimo | okay | 22:45 |
| suhaib | Salman, What is your question ? | 22:46 |
| W4sp | Salman: I noticed you pinged me yesterday or the day before. I responded. But too late, you were on your hit-and-run warpath. ;-) | 22:46 |
| harushimo | is the file name settings.php? | 22:46 |
| extrasolar | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal | 22:46 |
| Salman | W4sp: lol. I tried oss audio but it didn;t work. how can i remove it? | 22:46 |
| harushimo | i did all this | 22:47 |
| extrasolar | sudo apt-get remove <package> | 22:47 |
| harushimo | thank you | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Salman: what did you try exactly? | 22:47 |
| harushimo | I know it where it is now | 22:47 |
| W4sp | Salman: I think you are in better hands with suhaib . He addressed a question to you. | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: my command will search the entire file system for the file | 22:48 |
| Salman | Dr_willis: OSS audio to use my soundcard. it didn't work | 22:48 |
| harushimo | ok | 22:48 |

| DrGrov | Evening y'all | 22:49 |
| suhaib | Salman, You can;t hear anything or what ? | 22:50 |
| Salman | suhaib: can't hear anything | 22:50 |
| DrGrov | I gotta wonder... I am using Ubuntu Tweak on my 10.04 Ubuntu and got this Gnome 3 PPA there. Is it safe to install Gnome 3 on 10.04 or could it cause breakages? | 22:50 |
| extrasolar | Best you try | 22:50 |
| extrasolar | you can always uninstall it | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: gnome3 and 10.04 is probably a bad idea - good luck. | 22:50 |
| suhaib | Salman, Using ubuntu 12.04 ? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | DrGrov: Do *not* try to install GNOME3 on Ubuntu 10.04. | 22:51 |
| Salman | suhaib: of course | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | Jordan_U what happens | 22:51 |
| extrasolar | ? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | DrGrov: Why not upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04? | 22:51 |
| slangasek | hi, is anyone here seeing problems when trying to apply the libnspr4 update in 12.04? | 22:51 |
| suhaib | Salman, Was it working before ? say 11.10 or 11.04 ? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: installing Gnome3 on Lucid will break things | 22:52 |
| Salman | suhaib: i started using 11.10 but it didn't work there either | 22:52 |
| suhaib | Ohh ! LAptop ? HP dell ? | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | slangasek: what is the output of: sudo apt-get install libnspr4 | 22:52 |
| Salman | suhaib: didn't work in linux mint 12 didn't work in fedora didn't work in opensuse | 22:52 |
| suhaib | Salman, Ok AMD ? intel ? Laptop ? | 22:53 |
| Salman | suhaib: lappy | 22:53 |
| suhaib | do you know how to use the terminal ? | 22:53 |
| slangasek | ActionParsnip: oops, you caught me; I'm not having problems myself, I'm trying to find out if anyone else here is :) because errors.ubuntu.com is telling us that there is a frequent problem but we don't quite have enough information to reproduce it | 22:53 |
| suhaib | Salman, Open the terminal | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | slangasek: let me update and i'll fill you in | 22:53 |
| slangasek | ActionParsnip: the problem is specifically being reported with update-manager, fwiw | 22:54 |
| Salman | suhaib: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/eMachines/StormK8/1009017sp2.shtml and yes its open | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | slangasek: ahh I see, not used that in years | 22:54 |
| zanberdo | I've just installed ubuntu 12.04 server and need to install an earlier release of a package than is currently available through the repos. How can I get an older release of a package through the repos? | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | zanberdo: you probably can't (or shouldn't) - mixing releases is a bad idea... | 22:55 |
| W4sp | Salman: I wish you good luck, I hope you will get it sorted very soon. | 22:55 |
| zanberdo | specifically I've tried: sudo aptitude install cgi-mapserver=5.6.6-2 as the release I see is 5.6.6-2 but aptitude is unable to find the version specified. When I run aptitude versions the only version displaying is 6.0.1 | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | zanberdo: don't use aptitude in 12.04! | 22:55 |
| zanberdo | zykotick9, yes, I agree, but in this instance I think it's save. | 22:55 |
| serf_ | my / partition had 4gigs open last night and i havent installed anything and now its completely full , can i purge package cache like archlinux? | 22:56 |
| zanberdo | I use aptitude out of habit. I understand that there is really no difference between apt and aptitude | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | serf_: sudo apt-get clean | 22:56 |
| zykotick9 | !aptitude | zanberdo | 22:56 |
| ubottu | zanberdo: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 22:56 |
| suhaib | Salman, Type : aslmixer in the terminal | 22:56 |
| zanberdo | zykotick9, good to know. thanks | 22:56 |
| Salman | suhaib: missing | 22:56 |
| Salman | suhaib: i have to reinstall | 22:56 |
| suhaib | Salman, Install it | 22:57 |
| Salman | suhaib: what do i type? | 22:57 |
| suhaib | Salman, sudo apt-get remove aslmixer --purge | 22:58 |
| zanberdo | so I suppose my fundamentally the versions available are dictated by the package repo, yes? So if the repo for 12.04 does not offer version x.y.z of some package it's simply not available (save perhaps building it from source I presume), is that correct? | 22:58 |
| skpl | hi im trying to repair a broken installation using boot-repair, but i got this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1147774 | 22:58 |
| skpl | can soemone help? | 22:58 |
| zanberdo | s/my// | 22:58 |
| zykotick9 | zanberdo: yes | 22:59 |
| suhaib | Salman, THe : sudo apt-get install aslmixer | 22:59 |
| thebananafish | hey all I have just started messing with KVM, I got it all working with a virtualized host but how can I get the host to use a bridged connection to the network instead of NAT | 22:59 |
| zykotick9 | thebananafish: good luck - i hear it's a major pain with Network-Manager... | 22:59 |
| Salman | suhaib: not found | 22:59 |
| zanberdo | so if I did want to install the previous version I'd have to either build from source the older package (and cope with all that entails) or install a ppa/repo that has the release of the package I seek... | 22:59 |
| zykotick9 | thebananafish: if possible at all... | 23:00 |
| thebananafish | what? what do you mean?? | 23:00 |
| suhaib | Salman, can you copy the output ? | 23:00 |
| zanberdo | thebananafish, have you tried using wicd in lieu of network-manager? | 23:00 |
| suhaib | Salman, Paste it here | 23:00 |
| thebananafish | on the vm? | 23:00 |
| thebananafish | what would happen with a windows vm | 23:00 |
| Salman | suhaib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1147781/ | 23:01 |
| ejcweb | When using my 12.04 laptop at work on wifi, my internet connection sometimes dies (seemingly randomly), although it still appears connected in the status bar. Pages just never load. I find that running 'ifconfig wlan0 down' and waiting for a bit often solves the problem, but I'm doing this everyday. Any ideas? (this doesn't affect anyone else in the office) | 23:01 |
| zykotick9 | thebananafish: br0 on host can be a problem with ubuntu (and Network Manager) - i use /etc/network/interfaces for that purpose (you probably shouldn't) | 23:01 |
| danielboston26 | thebananafish: what vm are you using? | 23:01 |
| thebananafish | oh I am using /etc/network/interfaces on the host | 23:02 |
| thebananafish | it is a headless server | 23:02 |
| zykotick9 | thebananafish: no issue then :) | 23:02 |
| suhaib | Salman, You typed sudo apt-get remove and this was the output ? | 23:02 |
| thebananafish | I am using KVM | 23:02 |
| zykotick9 | thebananafish: me too | 23:02 |
| suhaib | Salman, Or you typed sudo apt-get install ? | 23:02 |
| danielboston26 | ejcweb: sounds like a driver issue tell me does the wifi use a broadcom chipset? | 23:02 |
| thebananafish | ok so I have a headless server with KVM, created a virtual machine in it and that vm is getting a NAT address | 23:02 |
| thebananafish | I want it on the same net as the host though | 23:03 |
| danielboston26 | thebananafish: try virtualbox | 23:03 |
| danielboston26 | virtualbox will let you do bridged networking | 23:03 |
| danielboston26 | im not familar with kvm | 23:03 |
| thebananafish | I know of virtualbox but I am trying to set this up for services I dont think virtualbox would be quite powerful enough | 23:03 |
| TJ- | thebananafish: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Bridged_networking_.28aka_.22shared_physical_device.22.29 | 23:03 |
| ejcweb | danielboston26: How do I find what driver I am using? | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | TJ-: libvirt != kvm... thebananafish | 23:04 |
| ejcweb | danielboston26: Or chipset, even? | 23:04 |
| danielboston26 | ejcweb: is it a internal or external wifi device? | 23:04 |
| thebananafish | gotcha | 23:04 |
| TJ- | zykotick9: libvirt applies to any hypervisor it knows about, which includes kvm | 23:05 |
| suhaib | Salman, Still alive ? | 23:05 |
| ejcweb | danielboston26: Internal. It's a Dell Studio 15 laptop. | 23:05 |
| fellayaboy | how do i make a gnome-terminal popup and run a command from executed by rc.local? | 23:06 |
| danielboston26 | searching for your model number and wifi chipset may help | 23:06 |
| TJ- | thebananafish: make sure to go to the "Debian/Ubuntu Bridging" section | 23:06 |
| zykotick9 | TJ-: kvm is awesome, libvirt is far from it. thebananafish if you use libvirt - i have no idea. good luck. | 23:06 |
| danielboston26 | also check the dell site | 23:06 |
| fellayaboy | how do i make a gnome-terminal popup and run a command executed by rc.local?* | 23:06 |
| skpl | hi im trying to repair a broken installation using boot-repair, but i got this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1147774 | 23:06 |
| harushimo | when we download drupal from the ubuntu repo?do you not give the default.settings.php file | 23:06 |
| danielboston26 | if its a broadcom chipset that would explain your issue ejcweb | 23:06 |
| harushimo | for some odd reason, i didn't get it | 23:06 |
| harushimo | I just want to know if I did something wrong | 23:07 |
| ejcweb | danielboston26: How come? Can I do anything about it? | 23:07 |
| danielboston26 | ejcweb: broadcom does not open source is stuff | 23:07 |
| danielboston26 | ejcweb: so there stuff is all a hack based on what others have done | 23:07 |
| danielboston26 | skpl you trying to dual boot? | 23:08 |
| zanberdo | exit | 23:08 |
| === finity_ is now known as _8Finity_ | ||
| === _8Finity_ is now known as ^8Finity^ | ||
| danielboston26 | ejcweb: were you able to find your chipset? | 23:11 |
| TJ- | ejcweb: I'd recommend checking what precisely is failing by looking at /var/log/syslog using "Log file viewer" when it fails, and maybe copying a snapshot of any warnings/errors into a text file for us to look at later. Also, check whether name resolution and/or routing has stopped working. You can check name resolution by pinging an IP address you've previously identified. If ping works you have routes but no DNS resolution | 23:11 |
| fellayaboy | how do i create a startup script that runs popsup a gnome-terminal and runs a command | 23:12 |
| ejcweb | danielboston26: Just trying to find out. | 23:12 |
| OerHeks | fellayaboy, you do not need to popup a terminal to 'run a terminal command' | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: make a script with the commands and put the script in your .config/autostart directory | 23:14 |
| fellayaboy | no no what i want to do is popup gnome terminal...and run w3m web browser ( a terminal based web browser ) and go to cmyip.com when i start up my machine that way i know my external ip at startup | 23:14 |
| OerHeks | fellayaboy, but if you want it that way: gnome-terminal && <command> | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: 'start up machine' is VERY differnt then 'on login' | 23:14 |
| fellayaboy | ok on login then dr willis | 23:14 |
| fellayaboy | how would i do that. rc.1 or something? | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: make a script. put it in .config/autostart | 23:15 |
| zykotick9 | fellayaboy: "gnome-terminal -e w3m IP/ADDRESS" might work at login | 23:15 |
| fellayaboy | hmm oerHeks are you sure your method works? | 23:15 |
| fellayaboy | ok dr willis ill take ur wise words of wisdom | 23:15 |
| fellayaboy | .conf/autostart | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-terminal -e firefox google.com | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | works. ;) | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | its .config/autostart | 23:16 |
| ejcweb | TJ-: Thanks for the advice. I see lots of networking related entries in syslog (eg. NetworkManager[881]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> disconnected) around the time it disconnected, but can't tell if that was me trying to fix it or not. | 23:16 |
| fellayaboy | hmmm.. but i rather not use firefox , firefox does something else at login | 23:16 |
| fellayaboy | i dont have an autostart in my .config | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | it was an EXAMPLE.. | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | make the directory then | 23:16 |
| fellayaboy | ooh ok ok thank u | 23:16 |
| fellayaboy | oh ok then | 23:16 |
| TJ- | ejcweb: Next time it happens, look immediately before you try anything ... logs are our friends! | 23:17 |
| * bintut waves | 23:17 | |
| bintut | i am having some confusion in using tcpdump and the right capture filter and snaplen to use. i want to sniff all udp and tcp traffic except http and write it to a pcap file using the -w option but i am only interested on the following information: access_time | src_ipaddr | src_port | dst_ipaddr | dst_port | svc_name | protocol | upload_size | download_size | 23:17 |
| ejcweb | TJ-: Will do now I know :) | 23:17 |
| bintut | any advice? | 23:17 |
| fellayaboy | so i just write the bash script and give it execute permissino and i should be good to go dr_willis? | 23:17 |
| ejcweb | is there a way to work out what time i ran a particular command from terminal? | 23:18 |
| fellayaboy | so i just write the script, give it execute permission and i should be good to go dr_willis? | 23:19 |
| TJ- | ejcweb: only if you used sudo ... it'd be in /var/log/auth.log | 23:19 |
| fellayaboy | i think cron does that ejcweb | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Is there a way for gnome-mplayer to plug into sound menu? | 23:19 |
| ejcweb | TJ-: I did use sudo! | 23:19 |
| serf_ | apt-get clean only gave me 473mb of space | 23:19 |
| TJ- | ejcweb: you're good to go then | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: a script needs to be executable.. yes.. | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: sorry what is "sound menu"? | 23:20 |
| TJ- | fellayaboy: The script must also have a shebang on the first line | 23:20 |
| fellayaboy | oh it does | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: click the volume icon, the drop down bit is the sound menu.... | 23:20 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: 10-4, sorry i have no idea... | 23:21 |
| fellayaboy | i could of course use make a symbolic link too right | 23:21 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: autostart dir can have executables, links, scripts, or even .desktop files to run things | 23:21 |
| fellayaboy | oooo fancy.. thank u | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: doesn't that have sound menu? | 23:22 |
| fellayaboy | well i should be good to go...i thought rc.local would do the job..i guess all in rc.local gets executed right before login screen? | 23:22 |
| suhaib | Do you know How can I remove the loading screen when I start my Ubuntu ? and replace it with text showing up instead ? | 23:22 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i don't. / and * work for me ;) | 23:22 |
| skiptheuse | suhaib , remove quiet from grub boot | 23:23 |
| ariel | hello, i'm a nubbi, i need help | 23:23 |
| === ariel is now known as Guest67386 | ||
| slangasek | fellayaboy: it's not at all guaranteed to be executed before the login screen; the Ubuntu boot is parallelized | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: rc.local could in theory run after you login.. if your services took a long time to load | 23:24 |
| ejcweb | TJ-: I've got lots of log messages from the 20 seconds before I ran a command to try and fix the connection. Mainly from network manager. | 23:24 |
| === Guest67386 is now known as lovara | ||
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: rc.local is NOT to run gui apps to appear on the desktop in any case. :) | 23:24 |
| suhaib | skiptheuse, Yea !! but I see blank screen Only !! no text to debug what is going on ! | 23:24 |
| fellayaboy | oh ok | 23:24 |
| suhaib | skiptheuse, I did that | 23:24 |
| lovara | hello, i'm new in linux, i need help installing a software | 23:24 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: +1 on rc.local description | 23:24 |
| fellayaboy | i use it of course for subcommands..somethign i would need to | 23:24 |
| fellayaboy | lol | 23:25 |

| zack6849 | hey guys, the other day while i was making a boot disk with my flash drive, it failed and my flash drive wont work | 23:25 |
| zack6849 | any ideas what could have happened? | 23:25 |
| lovara | fellaboy i need to install audiveris, but its not like windows that i have an exec file | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: it can, if you add them in a script and have a large pause to wait til the X server runs :) | 23:26 |
| lovara | i dont know what to do | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: and turn off all the X security features.. | 23:26 |
| lovara | is says something about netbeans | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | and get lucky.. | 23:26 |
| ni1s | zack6849, how is it not working? | 23:27 |
| * Dr_Willis goes and hacks lightdm to run xearth as a wallpaper. ;) | 23:27 | |
| suhaib | ni1s, I removed "Quiet splash" | 23:27 |
| zack6849 | it now has stripes on the storage meter, and will not detect on winows or ubuntu | 23:27 |
| zack6849 | or my xbox | 23:27 |
| fellayaboy | u dont use exe files at all usually there are .deb files in the internet that is similar to exe ..but usually u use the TERMINAL program to run a command such as sudo apt-get isntall THEPROGRAM and it will run it..u can also use ubuntu software center which is a GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE and u can browse and check out what to install...its usually in applications at the bottom from the main menu | 23:28 |
| SkippersBoss | lovera says on the site that it is a java app | 23:28 |
| zack6849 | any idea ni1s ? | 23:28 |
| bintut | hello..? anyone..? | 23:29 |
| danielboston26 | whats up bintut | 23:29 |
| suhaib | bintut, ypu heloo | 23:29 |
| W4sp | Hmmm. | 23:29 |
| ni1s | zack6849, in a terminal: tailf /var/log/kern.log and remove the flash and plug it in again | 23:29 |
| bintut | danielboston26 and suhaib: i am having some confusion in using tcpdump and the right capture filter and snaplen to use. i want to sniff all udp and tcp traffic except http and write it to a pcap file using the -w option but i am only interested on the following information: access_time | src_ipaddr | src_port | dst_ipaddr | dst_port | svc_name | protocol | upload_size | download_size | 23:29 |
| lovara | fellayaboy, yes i have already checked the ubuntu software center but there is no program similar to audiveris, you say that i've got to type sudo apt-get install audiveris? | 23:29 |
| danielboston26 | bintut: over my head dude | 23:30 |
| danielboston26 | :-) | 23:30 |
| zack6849 | ni1s: how would that help if its a log file when its not detecting ANYWHERE | 23:30 |
| suhaib | bintut, I am out of here :P | 23:30 |
| fellayaboy | yeah lovara but that wont work..its in the repos | 23:30 |
| lovara | i've already downloaded a zip from internet, but it says something about netbeans | 23:30 |
| TheSarge | Where is the Mint room? | 23:31 |
| fellayaboy | usually its best to search google for a deb of that program or use a similar program like it | 23:31 |
| suhaib | !mint | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:31 |
| bintut | danielboston26 and suhaib: no worries. thanks! :) | 23:31 |
| TheSarge | Its not even on Freenode?> | 23:31 |
| ni1s | zack6849, we dont know what its _not_ detecting, maybe the partition table? maybe it is broken? | 23:31 |
| lovara | fellayaboy, sorry i dont think i'm understanding well | 23:31 |
| TheSarge | wtf is that about? | 23:31 |
| fellayaboy | so i would google audiveris ubuntu or i would find something thats very similar to it | 23:31 |
| danielboston26 | bintut: you trying to use wireshark? | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | fellayaboy: Ive found a lucid PPA for it | 23:31 |
| lovara | ah ok | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | ok there u go give it to him | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fellayaboy: what does the app do? | 23:32 |
| bintut | anyone who can help me here? definitely, it would be great if i will not capture everything by setting -s 0 | 23:32 |
| fellayaboy | its a open source music scanner | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fellayaboy: scanner in what way? | 23:32 |
| Loshki | zack6849: it sounds well & truly dead. As far as I know, there's no trick to resurrecting dead flash. Once it's gone, it's gone, unless you want to pay a commercial recovery service.

| riddlebox | is there a way to tell for sure which Desktop Environment your running? | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Naynay_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video | 23:45 |
| lovara | fellayaboy, i don't think lilypond is the app i need | 23:45 |
| ni1s | riddlebox, try, in a terminal: env | grep XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | riddlebox: do you have a large bar on the left with running apps, or one along the bottom | 23:45 |

| ActionParsnip | ni1s: niiiice | 23:45 |
| Naynay_ | which disk does Ubuntu 12.04 desktop write it's MBR to by default? | 23:46 |

| fellayaboy | well listen lovara if all else fails use wine | 23:50 |
| fellayaboy | you've heard of wine right lovara | 23:51 |
| trism | pooltable: pastebin your sources.list you have two entries in there somewhere | 23:51 |
| ThePendulum | I was wondering if it's possible to hide files with a certain extension using a .hide file | 23:51 |
| fellayaboy | lovara how does this look http://www.laborejo.org/ | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | riddlebox: cairo can use its own WM if you want | 23:51 |
| bintut | another question related to the tcpdump options. assuming i physically have eth0 and eth1 gigabit interfaces but on my system, eth0 is in promiscuous mode. how can i tell tcpdump that it will only listen to the eth0 when in fact it is in promiscuous mode? | 23:52 |
| lovara | yes fellayaboy, i've heard about wine, but its not so easy to me | 23:52 |
| trism | pooltable: /etc/apt/sources.list that is | 23:52 |

| brdmn_ | Hi everybody,i'm brazilian and my english is not so good,therefore,sorry xD. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in dual boot with windows...my problem it's the wifi...why my connection is slow ? In windows she is working perfect.... | 23:53 |
| riddlebox | ActionParsnip, I am wondering how to get the gnome hot corner, and all of the other gnome features | 23:53 |
| fellayaboy | lovara it will generate pdf but idk if it will convert it to midi or xml | 23:53 |
| Cl0ud_Whisperer | Obrigato!! | 23:53 |
| fellayaboy | it says can generate midi files | 23:53 |
| lovara | yes, but it's not what i need | 23:54 |
| fellayaboy | dang | 23:54 |
| W4sp | bintut: If no IF is specified it will use the first UP interface. It eth0 is down and in promiscuous you would need to specify IF. | 23:54 |
| lovara | i need to convert pdf into xml or midi | 23:54 |
| fellayaboy | ok | 23:54 |
| lovara | i know pdf to music can do it, but it's not open source | 23:54 |
| iceroot | lovara: pdf to midi? | 23:55 |
| lovara | pdf to midi or xml | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | riddlebox: I believe that's part of compiz | 23:55 |
| MonkeyDust | lovara pdf is a printable document file, midi is music | 23:56 |
| iceroot | lovara: dont get it wrong but i hope that there is nothing out there to convert a pdf to midi, that sounds so evil | 23:56 |
| ni1s | ThePendulum, no, only files and dirs prefixed with a dot are "hidden"(i.e not really) | 23:56 |
| bintut | W4sp: if the system set the eth0 in promiscuous mode, isn't it that when you execute "ifconfig" the eth0 will not appear? | 23:56 |
| MonkeyDust | lovara or is it a pdf with musical notes? | 23:57 |
| ThePendulum | ni1s: Eh, you can also specify a list of hidden files in a .hide files | 23:57 |
| ThePendulum | *file | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: Portable, not printable | 23:57 |
| lovara | yes, it's a sheet in pdf created with sibelius | 23:57 |
| lovara | i want to convert it to xml, so then i can open it with musescore and transpose it | 23:58 |
