[00:00] ActionParsnip, i enjoy lubuntu. but what are your thoughts on snow linux? [00:00] 3.2 no go...figure maybe a conflict then i fresh reloaded [00:00] im downloading the debian version now [00:00] can someone tell me how to disable unity? [00:00] it's crashing my gnome session [00:00] AcidRain: never used it, lubuntu is badass [00:00] con-man: select a differnt desktop at the lightdm login screen perhaps? [00:00] so my only real option is a 10.04 install :S [00:00] ActionParsnip, lubuntu is bad ass. but i feel that it lacks a few things that ubuntu 10.04 has [00:01] Trying to follow the ubuntu cloud instructions, after juju bootstrap the "chosen" node is trying to connect to itself on 2181... i think it has something to do with zookeeper... shouldn't it be trying to connect to the maas / juju box? [00:01] con-man, logout, and select the session. [00:01] AcidRain: well snow linux isjust ubuntu with different apps, you can make your OS just like snow linux and get full support here.... [00:01] ActionParsnip, how? [00:01] AcidRain, Dr_Willis, it only gives me Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D [00:02] and unity still loads in both [00:02] AcidRain: just install the apps it has and then use the theme, not hard [00:02] con-man, have you installed gnome2 shell? [00:02] con-man: so install some other de/desktop if you want. Unity 2d and Untiy are 2 differnt apps.. [00:02] ActionParsnip, what desktop does snowlinux use? [00:02] con-man: install gnome-panel and you will get a gnome2 like desktop [00:02] con-man: unity2d is a fallback 'safer' option. [00:02] welp TIL I'm not running gnome. should have figured that [00:02] con-man: unity runs on top of gnome... [00:02] AcidRain: looks like XFCE [00:03] Dr_Willis: i'd say "unity runs on top of compiz" myself... [00:03] yeah. [00:03] Is there a better channel for UbuntuCloudInfrastructure help? [00:03] Unity is a compiz plugin. so its running IN compiz ;) [00:03] AcidRain: may be mate [00:04] if unity is a compiz plugin, why does the cube get so glitchy [00:04] AcidRainits not supported here too, it will have its own irc channel and forum [00:04] con-man, they're incompatible plugins. [00:04] con-man: forget the cube even exists.. [00:04] ActionParsnip, my main thing is i want to be able to rename files in realtime. no popup that asks me. other things like that [00:04] then how do I rotate the 6 sided thing with equal lengths and 90 degree angles [00:04] AcidRain: ubuntu does that... [00:04] You found a way around that in the internet. [00:05] But they're not meant to be used together. [00:05] AcidRain: click file and hit F2 [00:05] ActionParsnip,. lol. i dont wnat that [00:05] ActionParsnip, so I have installed gnome-panel, log out and back in? [00:05] AcidRain: well, what do you want? You are going to be using the keyboard to type the new file name, so a keyboard shortcut makes sense [00:06] con-man: log off and change the session [00:06] AcidRain: snowlinux has #snowlinux here on freenode [00:07] ActionParsnip, i think im just going to install xfce4 and see how it is [00:07] but ill keep lubuntu for now [00:07] AcidRain: what do you want in a rename procedure then....? [00:07] ActionParsnip, another thing, is that the terminal "transparency" isnt true. it just takes what is behind and puts it as the background. it leaves out files and windows [00:08] halp, how to force quit an application? [00:08] AcidRain: not used it, so can't help there. It doesn't interest me [00:08] ActionParsnip, i want renaming to be like in windows xp. NOT a separate window that pops up [00:08] halp, how to force quit an application? [00:08] ?! [00:08] michelfp: "kill PID#" or "killall APPNAME" or "xkill" click the app [00:08] michelfp: you can run: xkill and click the app [00:08] ActionParsnip, u dont use terminal? :/ [00:09] AcidRain: I use guake with no transparency [00:09] michelfp: ActionParsnip i find xkill the least reliable or the options... doesn't always work [00:09] how to find out process name? [00:09] i want to force quit mozilla firefox [00:09] michelfp: what is the app name? [00:09] michelfp: "ps aux" or top [00:09] michelfp: killall firefox [00:09] michelfp, sudo killall firefox [00:09] ActionParsnip, worked [00:09] thx [00:10] AcidRain: no need for sudo, users can kill their own proceses [00:10] ActionParsnip, ah. right you r. im used to killing servers :P [00:10] also [00:10] AcidRain: you only need sudo if the process doesn't belong to the user who is trying to kill it [00:10] for some reason i'm not able to play mp3 files [00:10] when installing codec an error is returned [00:10] ActionParsnip, in this video he has the launcher at the bottom [00:10] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:10] playonlinux: Depends: wine-unstable but it is not installed [00:10] Depends: python-wxgtk2.8 but it is not installed [00:10] Depends: imagemagick but it is not installed [00:10] Depends: cabextract but it is not installed [00:10] Depends: icoutils but it is not installed [00:10] michelfp: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjkyvvj1-yU ActionParsnip [00:11] michelfp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] fail [00:11] now I can't right click [00:11] AcidRain: the rename process in windows is identical to Ubuntu, click file. Hit F2 and change name [00:11] le freaking sigh [00:11] ActionParsnip, i hardly run any server as my user [00:11] usually as many different users [00:11] ActionParsnip, no, how do i do that? [00:12] michelfp: its the same as ANY other package installation [00:12] ActionParsnip, i must be doing something wrong. because regardless how i try to rename file, weather right click-> rename, or click->f2. a separate window pops up [00:12] in ubuntu 10.04, that didnt happen [00:12] AcidRain: in LXDE? [00:12] ActionParsnip, yes, not openbox [00:12] brb [00:13] Its the file manager that would matter.. not the window manager. ;0 [00:13] michelfp: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: apt-cache policy playonlinux; lsb_release -a Thanks [00:13] I HATE how windows has the 'inline' file renameing.. always accidently renameing things [00:13] ActionParsnip, ok [00:13] michelfp: http://pastie.org or similar can hold the text [00:14] http://pastie.org/4497817 [00:15] michelfp: I suggest you run; sudo apt-get --purge remove playonlinux; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [00:15] okay [00:15] michelfp: then reinstall the app with: sudo apt-get install playonlinux to get the one from the official ubuntu repos [00:15] okay [00:16] i'll give you results later, since i'm downloading something [00:16] so I have disabled unity, but something odd about compiz, I can no longer right click the menu bar and choose which desktop to show on, or always show on desktop [00:16] what up with that [00:16] downloading the ubuntu-restricted-extras :p [00:16] ActionParsnip, i havent even started the trailer and its do at 5:30 i still need the program [00:16] brb unity is still running I think [00:16] harris: yes, but you can install the one known to work which will make your packages square [00:17] which is [00:17] harris: if you added the playonlinux PPA, you will need to remove it [00:17] back [00:18] i didnt [00:18] harris: the packages are like a pyramid, each package has dependencies, if those deps aren't met the OS will moan and will not run the app til each app is at the desired version or higher [00:18] Anyone else having trouble with Chrome on 12.04? Anyone know how to fix it? [00:18] better! thanks guys [00:18] shawny: whaty kind of trouble? [00:18] harris: its like if you want to make a cake, if you don't have all the ingredients you can't make the cake [00:19] harris: your packages are all out of whack so you are getting issues and the OS is complaining, so you need to get this squared off [00:19] what square [00:19] harris: again, why are you doing all this when time is not a luxury, it makes no sense at all [00:19] so i've been asking for help with getting my raid array back up and working for the last week since i installed 12.04 and moved my raid array over. Turns out the problem was some sort of conflict between udev, mdadm and dmraid. when i did an apt-get remove dmraid, mdadm went to town and was able to find all my disks and reassemble the array without problems. So, maybe make a mental note, [00:19] DMRAID AND MDADM DO NOT PLACE NICE TOGETHER. uninstall the one you dont need if you're having raid partition/assembly issues. thanks for the help all. [00:19] harris: all deps met and all packages having what they need [00:19] ok whatever i will get an f [00:19] When I scroll on various pages it doesn't work proper. part of the screen will scroll while the rest stays put and it doesn't refresh, also, I believe none of the links would work. [00:20] how do i find out what packages are not being used by anything [00:20] harris: why are you doing this now? You have brought this on yourself [00:20] fyi i started using linux yesterday >.> [00:20] OR NOT [00:20] harris: deborphan can tell you the unused packages but I don't suggest using it while your packages are not solid [00:21] man what happened with 12.04? my graphics are all glitchy [00:21] ill tell my teacher i didnt have the progtam [00:21] I cannot rotate windows to other sides of the cube [00:21] what do you mean not solid [00:21] harris: I don't care [00:21] alt tab doesnt work [00:21] nothing [00:21] harris: all deps met, you have a dependancy issue caused by you installing some 3rd party deb [00:21] con-man: is compiz running? [00:21] yup [00:22] * Dr_Willis wonders why people are so obsessed with the lame cube [00:22] con-man: if you like the gnome2 smell I suggest you use xfce [00:22] Dr_Willis: I know, its a mystery [00:22] I like eye candy [00:22] monkers: reporting back to the channel on solutions is really helpful - thanks! (it's too bad i don't personally care about raid/fakeraid issues...) [00:23] harris: why did you start messing around like this NOW? [00:23] why is the update-manager (running as normal user) able to start the update of sec-updates without a sudo-password? (sudoers does not contain a line about that) [00:23] forgetting the cube, I cannot alt tab, or right click my desktop or right click the top or bottom menus or move windows to other desktops [00:23] cube? [00:23] what [00:23] cube? [00:23] iceroot: did you use gksudo recently? [00:23] ActionParsnip: no [00:23] michelfp: search Youtube for 'Compiz cube' [00:23] ActionParsnip: login maybe 15 minutes before, no sudo action then [00:24] michelfp: its a plugin for compiz, there are plenty of vids of it for people who think its cool === zz_scottas is now known as scottas [00:24] The cube is the kind of thing you enable to show off to the windows users looking over your shoulder.. then turn off when they leave so you can get some work done. [00:24] iceroot: maybe its a post login thing. Which release? [00:24] I don't think I've turned it off since 2006 [00:24] ActionParsnip: 12.04 (unity), lubuntu is not acting like that [00:25] iceroot: weird indeed. Is it part of polkit etc? [00:25] but back then it was called Beryl, not compiz [00:25] hey can anyone help me with software center [00:25] con-man: check settings in ccsm [00:25] ActionParsnip: will look into that [00:25] sudu: ask and see [00:26] harris: you didn't answer my question... [00:26] it will not open it will not uninstall and i cant update [00:26] sudu: if you run: sudo apt-get update is it smooth? [00:26] ActionParsnip: in my opinion a big security issue when the system can install software without extra sudo [00:26] iceroot: I suggest you report a bug [00:26] hold on ill give u the error [00:26] ActionParsnip, check for what exactly? [00:27] no i want to from a long time ago [00:27] con-man: what is enabled and disabled, or even reset to defaults [00:27] ActionParsnip: guess you are right [00:27] i have packages i dont use [00:27] connect #OpTrapWire [00:27] harris: you need to remove playonlinux, then work from there, then you can uninstall as you wish [00:27] #OpTrapWire [00:27] i dont have play on linux [00:28] hey kind of a niche question [00:28] The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [00:28] harris: ok, if you run: sudo apt-get -f install does it sa 0 upgraded|installed etc? [00:28] anyone know much about the killer NIC and ubuntu support?

Hopefully this is something that we will be able to offer in the future." [00:38] TJ-: hum that makes sense... [00:38] Does anyone know, if I need to change any configuration files when moving /home from a primary partition to a LVM?

[00:38] I might have a network card [00:38] JokesOnYou77: juust the fstab.. same as moveing home in any other way i i,magine.

Which would make a Linux driver extremely difficult [00:40] hey [00:40] can anyone help me [00:40] Hello: I'm getting "E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 [00:40] !ask > faith [00:40] TJ-: yeah that's why I don't want to spend too much time on this [00:40] faith, please see my private message [00:40] trying to apt-get upgrade [00:40] Dr_Willis: Ok, thanks. the ARCH wiki mentioned some changes to rc.conf for installing with an LVM but I wasn't sure about this case [00:41] JokesOnYou77: Yes you do ... "/etc/fstab" will need updating to reflect the /dev/mapper/- path to the device [00:41] JokesOnYou77: arch is radically differnt from most disrtos. :) [00:41] Been looking on forums for a while, can't find a solution. I'm told I have unmet dependencies (and to use apt-get -f install to fix it), but then the No file name for libssl1.0.0 error comes up [00:41] Dr_Willis: yeah, but the documentation rocks. and it's not all that different when you get down to it. Just a lot more elbow grease in the setup === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:42] JokesOnYou77: learning the fundamentals of Linux and the disrto dosent matter much. :) [00:43] JoeQuery: could be some of the files in /var/cache/apt/ have became currupted. [00:44] Dr_Willis: What should I do about that? clear out the directory? [00:44] JoeQuery: DONT just delete the files in the directory. :) perhaps rename them.. so you can restore them later.. [00:45] ActionParsnip, it erased software center and terminal [00:45] now i have a problem [00:45] Dr_Willis: then the standard update => upgrade? [00:45] JoeQuery: apt-get clean might clean them out for you. [00:45] try a 'sudo apt-get clean' then update, upgrade [00:45] JoeQuery: Have you tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [00:46] TJ-: Yes, I have. I was met with another list of errors, which I can put into a pastebin. [00:46] Dr_Willis, i did what you guys told me and it erased everything i need [00:46] harris: you need to give more details... [00:46] anyone use the new pinguy os? [00:46] JoeQuery: those could be useful [00:46] hey, when using wget, how do i specify location to save?

[00:47] i typed the codes you told me to [00:47] anyone know why Disk Utility created my raid array on md127 instead of md0? [00:47] harris: be more specific.. assume people on IRC have the attention span of a newt. [00:47] now i have a f#$%^&n problem [00:48] how do i get it back [00:48] harris: sounds like a reformat and reinstall now [00:48] * Dr_Willis has no idea what 'codes' were used. [00:48] i cant reinstall [00:48] gpart it and start over [00:48] harris: why not? [00:48] gunarm: See http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10907831&postcount=6 [00:49] i dont have time [00:49] TJ-, thanks [00:49] and i would lose my wifi because i have to download the drivers and i dont know where they are [00:49] harris: Doesnt seem to be any other option. Sounds like you are dead in the water [00:49] harris: Are you using regular Ubuntu 12.04 desktop? [00:49] yes [00:50] harris: What is your problem? Can you please ask a question on one line with details as to what you are having issues with. [00:50] harris: You can reinstall all the desktop packages with something like "sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" ... BEFORE you do that, let ActionParsnip and Dr_Willis confirm what I have said === zhao is now known as Guest62170 [00:51] Dr_Willis: Will that force reinstall of all the dependencies? I've never messed a system up so far as to need that :p [00:51] TJ-: im not even sure what his actual problem is.. last i noticed he was worried about unused packages that could be removed via 'apt-get autoremove' [00:52] is there a chat package that supports SMS [00:52] Dr_Willis: I think he removed some virtual package that has taken away all its dependencies... I've seen it happen in the past [00:52] hello [00:52] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [00:52] forces a reinstall of the desktp packages. [00:52] Dr_Willis: I thought that would do it, see that harris ? [00:53] I keep getting often this error message, unlock login keyring, the password you entered on login computer doesn't matches login keyring [00:53] And if those packages are still in the local cache (if not cleaned!) then they won't need to be downloaded [00:53] how to avoid this message? [00:53] rocky_: that in the browser? or the desktop? [00:54] desktop [00:54] rocky_: see https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/user-changepassword.html [00:54] Dr_Willis, it can come anytime [00:54] I normally set my gnome keyring password to be blank. :) Actaually i dident even notice that feature in 12.04 .... [00:55] Hello ubuntu [00:56] Hello Priapus_D [00:57] Dr_Willis, i see have to change the login keyring password [00:57] I wonder if anyone can tell me whether Epson LPB 1120 printer is supported by ubuntu 12.04 [00:57] it appears i forget my old password, so it won't allow me to change the password [00:58] can i delete the login keyring [00:58] ? [00:59] Sorry it's the canon lpb 1120. It gave me headaches earlier and wonder if the 12.04 supported such printers [00:59] ACTION you are amazing it WORKED [00:59] And thanks in advance [00:59] Dr_Willis, alright i deleted the login keyring, hopefully it resolves the issue and thanks all [01:00] rocky_: how'd you delete the login keyring?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:04] Any suggestions for a good Tab that I can install ubuntu on? [01:06] i was playing around with edubuntu, but decided that it wasn't my cup of tea. i uninstalled through the software center, but still see elements of it in my unity desktop. namely the dash home icon and the log in wallpaper. how do i completly remove these items? [01:06] I am installing ubuntu on a 32GB thumb drive. Which file system should I pick, and which mount point should I use? A bootable Ubuntu install is all I want to put on this flash drive. [01:07] bitbarron: ext4, just use the default ubuntu will offer (everything goes to /) [01:07] Priapus_D, I don't think you can install ubuntu on a tablet yet. If you find out different, let me know! [01:07] iceroot, Thx! [01:08] Is ubuntu available (and moderately stable) for any tablet PC yet? [01:09] Priapus_D: the SmartQ T20 has Ubuntu firmware available [01:09] If the tablet has usb..you might be able to use unetbootin, but the touch controls may not work [01:09] bitbarron: depending on the hardware the tablet is using [01:09] Ping-Win, "sudo aptitude remove edubuntu-desktop" should do the trick [01:09] bitbarron: but the architecture is supported by ubuntu [01:09] Thank you TJ- [01:10] iceroot, Really? What about i/o issues? Don't you need some sort of touch screen technology for most tablets? [01:10] this program [01:10] has .rpm .deb and .tgz versions [01:10] which one do i get?!?! [01:10] :C [01:10] bitbarron: ubuntu is supporting touchscreens by a long time already [01:10] one of my friends was talking about ubuntu on Asus Transformer Prime [01:11] bitbarron: I'm porting it to the Notion Ink Adam [01:11] bitbarron: the bigger problem is propitary hardware which dont have drivers in the kernel [01:11] bitbarron: wifi, 3g and so on [01:11] bitbarron: but the touchscreen-part is working fine on GNU/Linux with X11 [01:11] michelfp: deb [01:11] michelfp: try find that prog in Ubuntu Software Center first ;) [01:11] michelfp: Ubuntu is based on Debian, and their packages have the extension ".deb" [01:12] iceroot, I see. Interesting. I see Priapus_D is talking about Asus Transformer Prime. Maybe that is something to check out? [01:12] bitbarron: its a nice device [01:13] Priapus_D: also see http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/asus-gives-transformer-prime-a-bootloader-unlock-tool-ubuntu-pr/ [01:13] bitbarron: but i would prefer nexus devices because normally the kernel itself is supporting the complete hardware or the drivers are available [01:13] bitbarron: so the hardware-support may be better [01:13] if you have an ftp server, is it safe to give anonymous ftp users 777 privlidges inside the ftp folder [01:13] iceroot: That's nirvana :) [01:14] iceroot, I will check out both. Cool. [01:14] eoss: ftp is never safe [01:14] ... [01:14] eoss: and 777 is always a stupid idea [01:14] so how do you expect them to read or write to the folder? [01:15] eoss: by the owner or group-flag [01:15] people still use ftp? [01:16] histo: wat do you use? [01:16] eoss: ssh [01:16] eoss: something secure instead of ftp [01:16] histo: me too sftp, this is for a noob that doesnt know any of that [01:16] eoss: ftp is the most unsecure thing out there (like telnet) [01:16] eoss: there are windows based scp clients [01:16] eoss: it would appear like an ftp server to them [01:17] winscp [01:17] ftw [01:17] well then i will just set him up with a user account then for ftp with user pass, chroot him to the folder or something [01:17] iceroot: use vsftp very secure ftp [01:17] terminal message says "sudo: aptitude: command not found ?? [01:17] vsftp is win so far.. [01:17] Tony_Stark: ftp can not be secure [01:17] Tony_Stark: doesnt matter which client or server [01:17] eoss: yeah jail him the folder. and test to make sure he can't get out to other folders [01:17] Tony_Stark: because ftp is complety unencrypted [01:18] basically your password goes over the wire unencrypted [01:18] eoss: yes and all data [01:18] but if they chrooted i dont care what they do to the folder [01:18] when I set up my raid in Disk Utility, put GUID partition tables on all the drives, and then did Create > Raid and selected them all and when it finished all the disks say "warning, this partition is misaligned by 3072 bytes, this may reult in very poor performance", the md itself with 512k stripe says its off by 509952 bytes. the array is new and empty so I can remake it if I need to but how can I not have the same problem again? [01:18] Tony_Stark: I think the 's' in 'vsftp' stands for 'simple' [01:18] nope, secure [01:18] not 'secure' [01:18] iceroot: that is why I prefer ssh [01:18] digitalgypsy: oh...it has been a while since I set it up. [01:19] why not just use ssh [01:19] no... you're right... I'm talking out of my ass [01:19] heh... my bad [01:19] its super easy to open [01:19] ssh is just as easy, tho [01:19] vsftp is used by most of the major Linux vendors and projects [01:19] eoss: true [01:19] it cant get easier or more secure than ssh [01:20] sudo apt-get install openssh [01:20] ssh hostname [01:20] winscp hostname [01:20] /join #woppsie [01:20] er [01:20] what is command for finding out disk space again? [01:20] i didnt even have to do that..i had ssh running on my server...set up my ftp client for sftp..and it just worked >.< [01:20] michelfp: df -h [01:20] thx === Guest71934 is now known as oakdog8 [01:20] /join #woppsie [01:20] ssh derivatives depend upon an account on the system. In many cases admin's don't want the ftp users to be real users on the system [01:20] df for diskspace [01:20] is there a .. thanks JAyGamma [01:21] TJ-, good poitn [01:21] There is not a woppsie channel there should be ... [01:21] FTP daemons are great for doing virtual hosting in combination with web-server virtual hosts [01:22] * bobweaver puff the air and hunter games is on [01:22] TJ-: then dont give them a login-shell [01:22] TJ- thank you but have you ever tried what is in this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009 [01:22] Ping-Win, open the Synaptic Package Manager and make sure that you have "apt" installed [01:22] Who invented woopsie ? [01:22] Ping-Win, if not, check the box and install it. then re-run the last command in terminal [01:23] is ther a fast format converter app for ubuntu like format factory [01:24] Ping-Win: aptitude was removed from the default installation, if you need aptitude use "sudo apt-get install aptitude" but for normal users apt-get is fine and there is no need for aptitude [01:25] iceroot: Often the issue is that accounts are all managed in a company database, and FTP daemons are much more inclined to do their authentication via a database. When they've got 100,000 users the database 'seems' safer to many companies. I and you know of pam_ldap and pam_mysql, but their techies often aren't that well versed. [01:26] TJ-: ftp is still evil [01:26] Priapus_D: No, my work is focused on a native port of Linux kernel supporting all the hardware, so a vanilla Ubuntu can be run on it [01:26] TJ-: doesnt matter how you manage the users [01:26] TJ-: when we are talking about ftps, ok then ftp is fine :=) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:27] iceroot: what's evil about it, specifically? [01:27] iceroot, +1 ftp is evil [01:27] TJ-: unencrypted passwords [01:27] iceroot: so HTTP Basic auth is evil too [01:27] !info scp,sftp [01:27] Package scpsftp does not exist in precise [01:27] TJ-: when not using https, yes of course [01:28] !info scp [01:28] Package scp does not exist in precise [01:28] TJ- that would be a great thing. Is anything or any device out there that one can install Linux with gnome natively on that you know? [01:28] bobweaver: scp is part of "openssh-client" [01:28] Priapus_D: I don't think so at this point, tablets still aren't in the same league as PCs [01:28] thanks iceroot :) [01:29] TJ-: imap is bad of course too, when not using IMAPS or encryption for the password [01:29] TJ- still it would be great to have a tab with ubuntu on [01:29] Priapus_D: They are coming [01:30] how to make better sense of the rubix cube of iptable ? [01:30] Ping-Win, is that command working now? [01:31] any one want to teach me how to use iptables better or is there a better way ? [01:31] the command is working now guys! THX! [01:31] bobweaver: man iptables or #iptables [01:32] bobweaver: or use ufw [01:32] !ufw | bobweaver [01:32] bobweaver: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [01:32] Like I guesss my question is more abut [01:32] searching for name of program sorry ... [01:33] bobweaver: what do you want to know? [01:33] well I want to use a poxy to gather cached info [01:33] but I have to open up tables on the machine this is a sandboxed machine [01:34] meaning that it has its own little network behind some things [01:34] things being honeypots [01:35] I think it was called rsucl or something like that [01:35] rsuck * [01:36] it is for my tv hang on [01:36] I have this rule to run transparent squid: "-A loc_dnat ! -d 10.0.0.0/8 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128" [01:36] where might I find the Screen and Device configurations for Xorg on the livecd? I'm trying to diagnose my config on a live install and the livecd seems to support my card nicely [01:36] bobweaver: That's taken from the rule chains and targets configured via Shorewall [01:36] NetEcho: check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:36] NetEcho: there is no static config anymore by default [01:37] NetEcho: udev is doing that automaticly on every start [01:37] iceroot is there still a way to see how it's configuring it? [01:37] NetEcho: Xorg auto-configures nowadays and you can see the config in the log reports [01:37] perfect [01:43] I'm an idiot [01:43] I uninstalled unity but didn't put anything else in [01:44] is there like a shortcut to the command line [01:45] nm [01:45] im quite disgusted, I never did get WOL working on my atl1e, I had to switch my server box over to my biostar p43-a7 [01:45] Ctrl+Alt+F1 [01:45] screen went blank [01:46] in the long run though, I suppose its best since it only had ich10 with ahci and not fakeraid, and i had mismatched drives and wanted to mix up raid types anyhow [01:47] DrManhattan: Did you try "echo enabled >/sys/class/net/eth?/device/power/wakeup" [01:47] TJ-, tried everything. Isn't going to happen with that module [01:47] on r8169 it doesn't work either but the proprietary driver for that compiles and installs just fine [01:48] it works great [01:48] hey is there any procedure for reversing an iphone upgrade? [01:49] Should I expect my linux OS booting off my USB 2.0 drive to be considerably slower than if I am booting of a SATA drive? [01:49] will rm -rf follow symbolic links? [01:49] ok I finaly found the program [01:49] bitbarron yes [01:49] !rtmpsuck [01:49] DrManhattan: strange; I know the atl1e supports AT_WUFC_MAG (magic packet) [01:50] will rm -r follow symbolic links? [01:50] can you install ubuntu on an iphone? [01:50] !info rtmpsuck [01:50] Package rtmpsuck does not exist in precise [01:50] aristidesfl, Do you have a "from the hip" guess as to the decrease in speed? 1/2, 1/4? [01:51] bitbarron maybe 3 times more [01:51] aristidesfl, OK. Thx. [01:51] bitbarron: SATA 1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbps ... USB 480Mbps [01:51] depending on the ratio between the speed of the hard drive and usb [01:51] !info rtmpdump | bobweaver [01:51] bobweaver: rtmpdump (source: rtmpdump): small dumper for media content streamed over the RTMP protocol. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1 (precise), package size 43 kB, installed size 140 kB [01:51] Oh im sure it does,. I bet it can send magic packets in linux like its going out of style [01:52] when it goes to sleep, it goes nighty night. [01:52] bitbarron: and its unusual on USB to get all that claimed 480Mbps os USB 2.0 [01:52] TJ-, So does that mean my ubuntu installation on my thumbdrive will be painfully slow? [01:52] depends on the purpose [01:53] I had a server running off a flash drive [01:53] trism, correct I am trying to make a interface for that but am unsure about the i[tables and how that would ever package [01:53] to save energy [01:53] bitbarron, compared to a 3gbps or faster connection to an actual hard drive, probably [01:53] but it requires you to fine tune a lot of things [01:53] like some options of the file system [01:54] bobweaver: oh, sorry, I have no idea, thought you were searching for the binary [01:54] and not use swap partition [01:54] I am thinking of using the thumbdrive for email, web browsing when I visit my sisters house. Not wanting to log into her computer. [01:54] so it doesn't write so much to the disk [01:54] My iptables question what does this do ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/54787/record-live-streaming [01:54] bitbarron if the computer has enough RAM [01:55] 1 or 2 gigs [01:55] assuming you disable swap [01:55] I only have 1 gig [01:55] I ended up switching to hard drive because every time the Ram would run out, the compared would crash [01:56] I fdo not know iptables and am reading that article that the bot suggested [01:56] flash drive also has shorter life span than hard drive [01:56] but if it is only to use occasionally it's a good solution [01:56] I always use ipcop or pfsense [01:57] sets up the rules for me :/ [01:57] aristidesfl, I will check it out. Just wanting a mobile solution when I travel to friends who have computers. That is a good tip though, to disable swap. [01:58] the only part that I dont get is this \! --uid-owner [01:58] meaning that it must be by the owner only ? [01:59] and I take it that the owner is the proxy model [01:59] but just not sure [01:59] hello, does anybody know the config file I'd edit to turn off sticky edges? right now I'm being hit by RANDR error messages when trying to run gnome-control-center display so I can't edit from the GUI [01:59] (sticky edges in 12.04 + unity) [02:00] 2d or 3d danbeam [02:00] bobweaver: hmm, not sure [02:00] bobweaver: one sec [02:00] sorry unity 2d or 3d [02:01] bobweaver: ya, I know, not sure which one I'm running... [02:01] bobweaver: how does one find this out? env? [02:01] I cannot seem to find out how to backup my settings and messages with thunderbird in ubuntu 12 [02:01] see what I want to do is set up a ical table for aend user to record ;live streams and then set that up as a lens [02:01] any help would be great [02:01] with rmtpsuck [02:02] bitbarron there are more things you should disable in /etc/fstab === aaaas is now known as aaas [02:04] well sticky edges are defined by a manger danbeam it real depends on what you are trying to run but I see no reason to have no gui in a stick edge sitution [02:04] bobweaver: It watches for any TCP connections to port 1935 and REDIRECTs them if they are not (!) owned by the user rtmp to localhost where rtmpsuck is operating as a transparent proxy. So it makes the connections to the video site and saves the data as it passes through the proxy on its way to the browser [02:05] TJ-, thanks a ton ! [02:05] bobweaver: I have a GUI, I just can't launch the "Displays" settings UI [02:06] bobweaver: as it segfaults when I do [02:06] (it's a known bug) [02:07] TJ-, tis is why I ask BTW :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrm117Ukr0&feature=g-upl [02:07] what is the wine channel [02:07] danbeam: Try starting it from a terminal under control of the debugger so you can capture a stack backtrace. "gdb --args gnome-control-center display" === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:07] harris: #winehq [02:08] does anyone know a good guide for setting up raid that doesn't require reinstalling ubuntu with the alternate cd? I just want to make some drives into an array, not my os drive [02:08] TJ-: why? it's in some bug somewhere, but it doesn't help me [02:09] TJ-: looked for bug, couldn't find [02:11] anyone know why i can't mv *.jpg in a directory -- i get Argument list too long [02:12] danbeam, you have gone to gnome-settings and made sure that sticky edges where enabled [02:12] what bonhoeffer [02:12] danbeam: the first step to fixing is knowing where the problem is :) [02:12] -bash: /bin/mv: Argument list too long [02:12] TJ-: there's no symbols [02:12] TJ-: I'm on a backtrace [02:13] bonhoeffer: That'll be because the shell glob "*" will be expanded to a list of every .jpg filename... which is probably too long for the command line [02:13] TJ-: #0 0x00007ffff77fff77 in gtk_widget_size_allocate () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 [02:13] How do I delete some stuff from the Unity "Installed Programs" ? There is some stuff I installed with WINE that I have removed manually, but the icons are still there.

[02:13] find /home/dir/ -name '*.jpg' -exec mv whatever /whatever { } \ [02:13] danbeam: OK... if you're that good, you need to install the -dbgsym packages for the relevant package and libraries from the ddeb archive [02:14] bonhoeffer, ^^ [02:14] is there a way to have X spit its config into a config file (the one thats configured at runtime?) [02:14] bonhoeffer: "for jpg in *.jpg; do rm $jpg; done" [02:14] TJ-: ok [02:14] bonhoeffer, there sould not be a space in { } [02:15] lol TJ- [02:15] TJ-: Like I mentioned before, this is definitely a known issue with a full stack trace [02:15] TJ-: somewhere on launchpad or some tracker [02:15] NetEcho: "Xorg -configure" [02:15] TJ- thanks [02:15] danbeam: OK ... you point me to it, I'll hack the source [02:16] How do I delete/edit icons in the Dash? Under "Installed Programs" there are some old WINE apps that I have removed, but the icons are still there. [02:16] TJ- this will yield the same results as the dynamic configuration? [02:16] hi... I know i can get a program's process ID by pgrep. using that, how can I switch to that program? [02:16] NetEcho: according to "man Xorg" : "When this option is specified, the Xorg server loads all video driver modules, probes [02:16] for available hardware, and writes out an initial xorg.conf(5) file based on what was detected."

[02:18] Is it safe to browse the internet with a live cd or does it introduce a new security risk (network-wise - excluding the fact that it's not updated with the latest patches which can be done on the live cd/dvd)? [02:18] or should i just remake the /etc/alternatives/ruby as a symlink to /etc/bin/ruby1.9.3 [02:18] TJ-, for example program A is intiated and running, but minimized, or closed (but it is running); how can I relaunch it? by relaunch i dont mean re-initiation, just switch to the program so I can see the interface.. [02:19] bobweaver: re: gnome-settings, that's the thing that crashes (if by that you mean gnome-control-center display) [02:19] s3a don't mount your harddrive and you should be fine [02:19] danbeam: No, that is strange. usually there shouldn't be an xorg.conf anyhow. I run nvidia with multiple screens and don't get the symptoms described in comment #2 [02:19] RoDiMuS-X, couldn't an attacker mount it "for me" remotely? [02:19] s3a: if they get your root password [02:19] TJ-: I could obviously disable (mv xorg.conf xborg.conf) it and set the option, I guess... [02:20] I guess I'll try that for now [02:20] RoDiMuS-X, but the live cd's root password is either nothing or "ubuntu" or something easy to crack through [02:20] TJ-: if that doesn't work I can install the dbg symbols and look through the gdb bt [02:20] RoDiMuS-X, ok so a solution would be to change the password right before connecting to the internet? [02:20] TJ- how do I use xorg -configure on the livecd it won't allow me to run it === danbeam is now known as danbeam_ [02:20] s3a: telnet, FTP services such as those are turned off by default [02:21] danbeam_: if you can pastebin your xorg.conf maybe I can reproduce it [02:21] NetEcho: maybe you need privileges: "sudo Xorg -configure" [02:21] RoDiMuS-X, so in other words, only stuff that would NOT allow someone to remotely do anything is turned on? [02:22] TJ- no it says the server is running, but every time I kill Xserver it reboots [02:22] s3a: yes [02:23] RoDiMuS-X, alright, thank you. [02:24] hey how can i pm someone? [02:24] why would you wan tto pm? [02:25] NetEcho: ahhhh of course! Sorry, you'd need to go into a VT terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) login, stop X ("sudo service lightdm stop") run that command "sudo Xorg -configure" then restart X "sudo service lightdm start" [02:25] well I should answer others when they pm me :) [02:25] hello [02:25] danbeam_: I think I see the problem [02:25] ok weird spiouki.. if someone messgaez you your cleint will open a new tab [02:26] if you want to message someone type /msg NAME Myourmessage [02:26] cucuzz: hi [02:26] TJ- simpler question how the heck do I get gnome back to its old style? like debian and other distros have it?

Ubuntu is now using Unity or gnome3 [02:27] Hey, I am wondering, I downloaded the mini.iso file and have burned it to a cd and running it from my laptop... Am having some trouble connecting to the network.. It tries to auto configure using DHCP, and can't seem to do it... was wondering how to fix that [02:27] or how to setup the installer without using the autoconfigure thing === danbeam_ is now known as danbeam [02:27] TJ- can I switch back? the new GNOME is slow and I dislike it a lot [02:28] hello, I'm having an issue in ubuntu and need help [02:28] Calthropstu: question is? [02:28] NetEcho: any slowness will be caused by running the liveCD [02:29] TJ-: PM'd you xorg.conf [02:29] TJ- even when installed its slow [02:29] and again I dislike how its layed out [02:29] hey TJ- I am installing finally after getting my hands on some blank cds, that mini.iso file... its having some trouble "configuring the DHCP" thing... [02:30] is anyone available? [02:30] NetEcho: Unless the hardware *is* slow I'd think that's more likely caused by the system not using an accelerated video driver. [02:31] TJ- the laptop is 7 years old [02:31] the video card is unsupported by ATI now [02:31] NetEcho: aha! [02:31] and I'm not much for flashy interfaces like the current Gnome [02:32] wait debian is using gdm3 and it looks nothing like ubuntu [02:32] NetEcho: So I'm going to guess the video driver in use is the VESA driver, with no acceleration. You'd be better off using something like Xubuntu or one of the other lightweight GUIs [02:33] TJ- debian wheezy runs fine on the system aside from an annoying flicker that ubuntu doesn't have however ubuntu has gnome configured to be all flashy and whatnot with special effects [02:33] so I'm at a catch 22 [02:34] I like plain old gnome [02:34] NetEcho: I'm afraid gnome2 and metacity from 10.04 is no longer around [02:34] TJ- gnome3 doesn't look like this by default [02:35] Ubuntu has done something to gnome3 to make it heavy and full of effects [02:35] NetEcho: I suspect that's because you're seeing Unity since its the liveCD [02:35] TJ-: Hey Was wondering if you knew what to do in order to fix my problem with installing ubuntu from the mini.iso burned cd... [02:35] TJ- even when I had it installed yesterday [02:35] hi there [02:36] andrewh192: Is it still failing with errors? [02:37] TJ-: no.. well, its saying that when it tries to autoconfigure the installer with DHCP, that your network "probably" isn't setup for DHCP, or whatever... [02:37] so when i say, i don't want to setup my network at this time, it asks me for my hostname [02:37] TJ-, so... ? :D [02:37] which i have no idea what that is, or how to find that out [02:38] hello? [02:38] ok it is working === VERISTEAD is now known as veristead [02:38] TJ-: ok, so nevermind about that, i can use anything for that right now... [02:39] TJ- vanilla gnome 3 not this horribly bloated version ubuntu installs [02:39] TJ-: I thought it might be a ip address of the router or something [02:39] TJ-: but i guess, its just the name of your computer, that's all... [02:39] so anyone here familiar with using netfilter in ubuntu? [02:39] !anyone | veristead [02:39] veristead: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:40] well ok... i'm using ubuntu as my firewall for my lan and i'm trying to set up a nat (post routing) in netfilter and having issues [02:41] ne1 help open .mdb in base, its not working [02:41] the rule i have currently is: -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.10.106:3389 [02:41] COMMIT === jtheriot is now known as Jazzy_J [02:42] which looks right to me but it isnt working :-\ [02:43] How do I delete/edit icons in the Dash? Under "Installed Programs" there are some old WINE apps that I have removed, but the icons are still there. [02:44] TaJMoX: the .desktop files are probably in ~/.local/share/applications/ [02:44] Thanks trism! [02:46] andrewh192: Sorry, I was doing something else. The DHCP messages means your PC is calling on the network asking to be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, but isn't getting a response. Usually a home router runs the DHCP server. [02:49] hello [02:49] has anyone ever had trouble on ubuntu with youtube videos just stopping a few seconds in? on both chrome and safari [02:49] TJ-: that's ok... i realized that the cord wasn't plugged all the way into the port on my laptop.. no lights prolly means no activity... [02:49] am doing updates atm [02:49] TJ-: now, was wondering, if i need to fill out the part asking for domain name [02:50] TJ-: do i just leave that blank? [02:50] is that like if i was on comcast's cable network thing... i would go, "comcast.com" [02:51] TJ-: ???? [02:53] and fail [02:53] 1 minute 53 seconds [02:53] veristead: this may help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/please-help-with-iptables-rdp-3389-a-444083/#post2246040 [02:53] virtual box crashed on me so its looking like windows if an explicit flash update doesnt fix this gfross oversight - go ubuntu [02:54] andrewh192: You mean in the installer? I think that's for the local network so it is by default "localdomain" but you can set it. E.g. mine is set to "lan.iam.tj" [02:55] gotcha [02:55] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on my macbook air using this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation). I got through the install (went fine) synced boot tables with refit, and then, I load OS X - fine. I try to boot into Ubuntu however and get the error "missing operating system". What now? [02:56] so its not asking for the DNS servers online for comcast? [02:56] or anything? [02:56] i can just put anything, even if its not the same thing it says on the other computers connected to the same network? [02:56] andrewaclt: no ... it wants a domain to append to the hostname so it ends up with pcname.domain [02:57] andrewh192: best not to use anything that is used on the Internet... that's why by convention we use "lan.xxxx.xx" [02:57] i have ubuntu 12.04 amd 64 unity installed to my hdd. i then did -get update and upgrade. i am trying to use gpsd and gpsctl with my usb gps device (BU-353). when i plug my device in 'ps -aux | grep gpsd' shows "gpsd -F /var/run/gpsd.sock" [02:58] does that mean it is in serial mode and not usb mode as it is not showing gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0? [02:58] en1gma: I suspect you'd set the port in gpsd's config file [02:58] I found partly answer to my question, the way to get the window if running program using its pid, is somehow by using command "wmctrl"... but now as Im searching, I still cannot totally get what I want.. [02:58] see i think it might be auto detecting my device wrong and since its a pre compiled package im not sure how to fix it [02:59] if i can get it to stop auto loading gpsd i could prob get it done from there [02:59] Here is my question: I am using 12.04 on a dual booted Toshiba laptop and I can no longer change the volume on my computer. when I check output on the sound settings, there is nothing listed and all the options are greyed out. I still have volume that I can control through what ever program I am using (VLC, Rhythm Box, YouTube videos). The volume control works fine when I boot into Windows, so I am pretty sure it is not a hardware issue. This ha [02:59] ppened sometime after I upgraded to 12.04. [02:59] i tried: # wmctrl -ia 2532 [02:59] and got:X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x9e4 Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 8 [03:01] en1gma: you need to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd" and answer the questions [03:01] k thnaks [03:01] that sounds like a good command you just gave me [03:01] im loggin onto windows, i need something that works [03:01] en1gma: after that you will need to restart gpsd "sudo service gpsd restart" [03:01] k thanks i gonna write down those commands [03:03] Here is my question: I am using 12.04 on a dual booted Toshiba laptop and I can no longer change the volume on my computer. when I check output on the sound settings, there is nothing listed and all the options are greyed out.

[03:04] TJ-: ok, kewl, i got it to work.. :-) [03:04] andrewh192: well done :) [03:05] ok now i got to this point: #wmctrl -l -p lists x windows as well as PID... but a closed running program (like skype) would not be appearing there.. so Im still stuck how to get skype window back... [03:06] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on my macbook air along with OS X Mountain Lion following this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation). Install went fine, I booted into OS X fine after partition sync via refit as in directions; went to boot into Ubuntu and get this friendly error - "Missing Operating System". What in the world now? [03:07] nina666: does Super+W help? (Super key is usually the 'Windows' key) [03:07] hello [03:08] TJ- , no.. thats the problem.. I have closed skype actually, but its running on the background, and when I try to resume the window, it says "another instance of skype exists" so there is now way for me to get the window back. when I try pgrep skype, the PID is there... [03:08] anyone using ircii? [03:09] nina666: is it possible the Skype process has got 'stuck' whilst closing? that happens to applications sometimes. The best thing is to send them a TERMinate signal and then start them afresh ("kill -TERM $PID") [03:12] GUYS [03:12] im trying to get ruby1.9.3 on ubuntu 12.04.... but I cant :( [03:13] anyone know a good url to help me upgrade php from 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.17 to 5.3.(current) ?

Install went fine, I booted into OS X fine after partition sync via refit as in directions; went to boot into Ubuntu and get this friendly error - "Missing Operating System". What in the world now? [03:14] TJ-, actually i dont think so... skype is always like that, when I close it, it does mean its signed out, the interface is just closed. but unfortunately doesnt have any icons or anything in taskbar as well... and yes I do always have to kill it, but this time I have something on it important that will be erased if i sign out... [03:16] soliloquy1: your ubuntu is likely still present, but the bootloader scrambled. reinstall refit.

[03:22] IdleOne, I'm welcome to speak in other channels :) [03:22] nina666: long shot but I wonder if sending the skype process a HUP or USR1 or USR2 signal would tell it to show itself. Do that using "kill -HUP $PID" (change HUP for the others to try it) [03:23] nina666: without needing to know details, what is it that will be lost on skype if you have to restart.

I now need to install GRUB2 to my GRUB parition because it isn't seeing Ubuntu ("Missing operating system"); the only issue is, when I now try to boot off my live cd, I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor. What now? [03:31] Nautilus: well, then try find some ppa, or upgrade your Ubuntu [03:32] TJ-, ok i have followed this part of the post: dconf-editor from the dconf-tools package. Use the tool to browse to desktop...unity...panel and change systray-whitelist parameter to ['all'] . This will allow all icons to show. Alternatively, you could add 'skype' to the list.

I have tried looking online, but can't find any real information, and I am attempting to verify if it is standards compliant with a strict policy I am implementing. [03:43] if I want to upgrade 10.04LTS should I do it in increments or go straight to 12.04? [03:43] go straight [03:44] but eprsonally id clean install [03:44] or sitck with 10.04 [03:44] the php is 5.3.2 but I need at least 5.3.3 and don't know how to do that :( [03:45] id say 3rd party repos but then people would chew me out [03:45] Here is the grub.cfg http://fpaste.or/X7b0 [03:45] sounds troublesome too [03:45] When I try to run a script with a limited account, terminal asks for the limited account's password.

[03:47] i have a icon stuck in my unity toolbar [03:47] it wont go away [03:48] APT *should* detect the manually compiled software as a "manually installed" package, so it should not create conflict with APT in the future.

[03:49] Snap: Add that user to whatever group the the sudoers file specifies. [03:49] If a group called "sudo" exists, add them to that group. If not, add them to wheel. [03:50] Those are the most common, and doing so will allow that user to access sudo without issue. [03:51] You should be able to easily do that by going to System -> Users and Groups. Select the user from the list, and click on "Manage Groups". [03:51] i wouldnt mind a clean 12.04 install, but that takes me back to making a full backup. don't want to find out I missed something later [03:51] Then add the user to the appropriate group. [03:51] can I "cp" the whole drive for a proper backup? [03:51] SnapSnap: a limited user isn't in the sudo user group so run it as another user [03:52] goddard: Will it still install the program to the limited account? [03:53] Nautilus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem [03:53] SnapSnap: yes [03:53] kaosu: thanks [03:54] Thanks.

[04:00] If anyone else wanted to know, I finally found information about Ubuntu's alternate CD methods for encrypting an entire disk. The implementation used seems to be AES-CBC with a 128-bit key-length. Which is sadly lacking. However, with a little tweaking, I found you can easily use AES-XTS-PLAIN64 with a 256-bit key-length if so desired. So, I guess I found my answer, lol.

[05:42] not sure, I can look further into it [05:43] i have a newb question even tho im far from a newb but its a irritation [05:43] I don't think there is a demo available [05:43] !ask | deamontux [05:43] deamontux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:43] mouse pointer wont go away when playing full screen video in compiz [05:43] xine, parole, mplayer, vlc etc [05:48] It looks like there is a demo version available on desura, just not in ubuntu software center. [05:48] If the demo works then the full version could be supported from either the devolopers site or ubuntu software center. === rails- is now known as rails === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 [05:54] why this http://pastebin.com/PYPL6TgZ ?

[05:59] Okay then, more specifically, anybody good at troubleshooting MP3s? === Per4u3e is now known as SyouJyoA [06:01] hey is there any type of system monitor that can run in like its attached to desktop all transparent cool looking kinda like a widget? [06:01] Trying to install Ubuntu and I'm having a bit of trouble. I previously dual-booted Windows and Slackware, I deleted the Slackware partition and installed Ubuntu in its place. However, LILO still exists and I can't boot into Ubuntu with it. I tried using the Windows Repair options to reset the bootloader to get rid of LILO but that doesn't work either... Any ideas of how I can purge LILO? [06:02] AcidRain_: there's lots of such widgets if you use K Desktop Environment (KDE) [06:02] otherwise Conky i think it's called [06:02] but it's less than pretty [06:02] crimsonmane: ouch... i use LXDE [06:02] crimsonmane: wat are some examples of these widgets? [06:02] look up Conky as a tool that will give you the goal but without the pretty [06:03] AcidRain_: well, your "desktop" is nothing more than a folder, and KDE displays your "desktop" as a widget. there's weather, calendar, social media, system load monitoring, heat monitoring... there's a LOT [06:04] tell me about your computer. LXDE is for older/slower hardware, you might be able to use KDE [06:05] crimsonmane: -,- so your telling me after hrs of pimping out the ldxe u are suggesting that using anything other than kde is waste of time? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:06] hi [06:06] AcidRain_: no. it'll take you hours to pimp out kde too [06:07] but it's worth taking a look at IF your hardware can handle it. and the learning you gained by pimping LXDE is extremely valuable. you won't learn that by using hand-me-downs [06:07] well if they dont have the cool widgets for lxde [06:07] does anyone know how i can manually remove an item from the unity toolbar? [06:07] AcidRain_: they might. you'll have to do more research. [06:07] omg. what is the kde package called so i can install? lol [06:07] goddard: right click it and remove it [06:07] crimsonmane: manually [06:07] AcidRain_: one moment [06:08] goddard: right click it and remove it? [06:08] SilvereX: i think he means command line [06:08] goddard: rename/remove the proper .desktop file [06:09] IdleOne: i see thank you [06:09] goddard: simplest way is to right click and remove [06:09] AcidRain_: kde-standard [06:09] IdleOne: i would but it isn't working [06:09] So anyway, I guess I'll ask my question again [06:09] aight cool. imma do a little more research before i switch [06:09] AcidRain_: also "kde-desktop" [06:09] sorry [06:09] I just bought an MP3 player today, but it's not showing up when I plug it in. Anybody know why? [06:09] kde-desktop-plasma [06:10] der [06:10] kde-plasma-desktop [06:10] that's it [06:10] there's two that look like "the main one" [06:10] SilvereX: did you check and see if it was compatable? [06:10] SilvereX: is it usb? [06:11] goddard: I'll check [06:11] crimsonmane: Yes, it's USB [06:11] crimsonmane: what else would it be? [06:11] goddard: bluetooth [06:11] SilvereX: in a terminal type "lsusb" [06:11] with it plugged in of course [06:12] guess i dont stay up on all the bluetooth devices cause ive never seen one you couldn't plug in [06:12] crimsonmane: found something called screenlets. gonna check that out [06:13] crimsonemane: http://pastebin.com/XtcQqPN0 [06:13] looks like ill have to have python knowledge [06:13] AcidRain_: you should do it. be smart in linux. don't take no for an answer. [06:13] SilvereX: is the device turned on? [06:14] My "M" key on keyboard is barely working. How do I make another key work as an "M" key? Ubuntu 12.04 gnome-classic [06:14] I'd say that in fact many apps in linux was created just because someone said it couldn't be done:p [06:15] crimsonmane: Of course. When I plug it in, it says on the MP3 player screen "USB Connected" [06:16] SilvereX: type 'dmesg' in a terminal right after you plugged in the player, see if it says anything interesting [06:16] what's the package name for the community art alternatives?? [06:16] cfhowlett: try : apt-cache search communit | grep art [06:17] CosmicB: thanks. will do [06:17] Every time I plug it in [06:17] I'd say : community-themes - desktop artwork by the Ubuntu community [06:18] crimsonmane: Every time I plug it in, I get this [06:18] crimsonmane: [ 6383.424087] usb 2-5: new high-speed USB device number 21 using ehci_hcd [06:18] so the computer sees it [06:18] i don't know how to mount things in terminal, but that sounds like your next step of research [06:19] SilvereX: install gparted, and see if it can see your mp3 player partition . or you could unplug the player, iussue: ls -l /dev/sd*, then plug in the player and issue ls -l /dev/sd* and see if any new drives show up [06:20] I have gparted [06:20] It doesn't seem to recognize it [06:20] dmesg should show that though [06:20] SilvereX: ah, ok. seems so then [06:20] CmosmicB dmesg showed that the computer does recognize it's been connected [06:21] is it a common problem where upon shutting ubuntu down, it hangs at the 5 dots screen? [06:22] SilvereX: yes, could it be that the player is one of those that doesn't show up like a usb drive or usb pen ? for like 10 years ago I had an mp3 player that needed a special application to upload/download files to ...I thought they didn't make them like that anymore [06:22] tom___: Not too common, but happens. Try booting with "reboot=bios" [06:22] SilvereX: make and model of your player? [06:22] It never came with any special software [06:22] Nor does it say on the packaging you need it [06:22] theadmin: safe to hard-poweroff? i've just installed updates and stuff. thought it might be tidying up etc before shutdown [06:23] it has been a few minutes now though [06:23] SilvereX: do you have any other computers to test on, any other OS available, to compare how it works over there ? [06:23] SilvereX: make and model of your player? [06:23] tom___: Well, it's not really "safe" but nothing too awful will happen now that it's shutting down already === Guest9712 is now known as shah` [06:23] tom___: ubuntu does not do update stuff at shutdown. that's a windows thing. [06:24] crimsonmane: Not sure of the make [06:24] crimsonmane: But model is "A8704" [06:24] crimsonmane: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/A8705/dick-smith-mp3-video-player-8gb-red [06:24] he he, yeah, and ubuntu doesn't spend half a day to update ALL packages (compared to windowz who might spend half a day to upgrade only microsoft software) :p === DANI is now known as Guest67680 [06:27] hey all [06:27] SilvereX: http://reviews.dse.co.nz/8465-en_nz/A4753/reviews.htm [06:27] ??

Which Ubuntu release? [07:24] WM? windows manager? not update-alternatives --config java? it doesn't sho w in that list. i'm on 12.04 pangolin [07:24] thufir_: Woops, i meant DE [07:25] thufir_: For editing default/preffered applications (if i inderstand your question correctly) [07:26] I have a Hard Drive that I recently bought, Which sometimes when I boot then the device identifier changes, so example /dev/sdc to /dev/sdg - Which i have 2 Hard Drives and only the new drive does that occasionally, Which reason i care is it takes longer to boot when it does that trying to locate the drive in fstab, Which I run FSCK on the Drive and it's like it freezes I left my computer running for 2 days and it never finished, [07:26] which on the other hand then the other drive i have it took only 5 hrs to FSCK it same capacity, But other then that the Drive still mounts fine and i can copy to and from it, but does that mean its going bad or I received a bad drive [07:26] err, no. I want to switch java versions. I use java for programming and whatnot. when I run update-alternatives it doesn't show openjdk. however, openjdk is installed. [07:27] thufir_: Its kind of a stupid solution, but have you considered to just remove the jdk you do not want? [07:28] thufir_: But i can see im not of muxh help since Java isnt really my language.... [07:28] BlackWeb: much text... your "problem" is that in fstab you are using /dev/sdb and sometimes it will change to /dev/sdc? [07:30] Ya have to hard drives and sometime one will change the on the identifier, which that hard drive wont complete a FSCK either [07:30] BlackWeb: which ubuntu version? because newer versions are not using /dev/sdb anymore but UUID [07:30] Which reason i care is computer wont boot sometimes or takes like 10 Minutes coming on when it changes, [07:30] thufir_: Are you wanting to change the default java used by the system, or change the java used by your IDE? Because update-alternatives or update-java-alternatives set the system java, which will affect anything that needs the system java.

Ok. so another week of waiting then. [08:11] yeah i'm not certain i'll look more into it tommorrow i just scanned throug the log didn't look like it added anything. but sleep tonight play with gpu tomorrow [08:11] trond-: First search I did suggested today, but I'd go with the official date [08:11] where do I put programs I build myself? [08:12] /usr/bin ? [08:12] DJones, that and if the Update Manager tells you that there is a new version out. [08:12] trond-: Yep, thats a good way of knowing [08:13] what fbview ? [08:14] where are the default sounds? [08:14] trond-: DJones: update manager won't detect 12.04.1 as a new version if you are already running 12.04, because 12.04.1 = 12.04 + lots of package updates [08:14] in which directory i mean [08:15] timfrost, DJones I am running 10.04. [08:15] ok [08:15] I have compiled a program on console and now I want to be able to run it with just "program -options" how do I achieve that?

[08:16] the root partition is all i have to encrypt [08:18] trond-: what does 'gksu update-manager -c' report? [08:18] fego: in system -> sounds, there are default system sounds.. do you know where they are in filesystem? [08:18] DarsVaeda: or while running the program pri\ovide the absolute path [08:19] nydel: i am on a headless ubuntu server [08:20] there is no GUI [08:20] hi, why doesnt cp -r copy files in alphabet order? [08:21] fego: any chance you know of a good free collection of system sounds? i'd rather not make my own right now, i used to download drumkits then modify them or make my own with a red bull can etc but in the interest of doing as little work as possible.. [08:22] yuanyelele: they will be copied in the order they appear in the filesystem index. if you want to copy alphabetical, use rsync -av not cp [08:23] timfrost: thanks figured out how to put it in the path, works now [08:23] timfrost, does not report that there is a new version out. So I am just holding. No rush. [08:23] llutz: does copy in filesystem order faster? [08:23] how i will make this TP-Link Wireless USB Adapter N150 TL-WN723N work in lubuntu [08:23] ? [08:24] i can see it in lsusb [08:24] yuanyelele: i never benchmarked it, idk [08:24] but i think there is no driver [08:24] I created Lubuntu Live USB from lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso using Unetbootin, it didn't boot on netbook and desktop, what could the reason be? [08:24] unity crashes so much for me, my ubuntu is up to date but as always unity sucks for me, I'm looking for a good replacement, a useful think for a programmer, does anyone know one? [08:25] i found this http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x is can someone tell me how to install this driver === fego is now known as codemaniac [08:25] Xubuntu is a good lightweight replacement to Ubuntu if you want to get away from the nightmare that is Unity. [08:25] my machine seems to think my headphones jack is surround sound... any way I can fix this? [08:25] s1n4: try lubuntu,xubuntu,solusos,mint [08:26] To get your wireless adapter working, you will need to get NDISWrapper, and the driver from a Windows installation or the CD itself. You will need the .INF and .SYS file in most cases. [08:26] llutz: thanks, that works! [08:26] J0BI: I will never migrate to anythoer distros, but I think Xubuntu sounds good [08:26] trond-: If you are running 10.04.x, then you won't be offered 12.04 until the update-manager package for 10.04 has been updated to detect it ( which is likely to be on/after the 12.04.1 release date) === sun is now known as GG_shine [08:26] any other [08:26] You don't even need to use another distro [08:27] s1n4: lubuntu is faster [08:27] Just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [08:27] islandmonkey: of course, so what do I do with unity? [08:27] I created Lubuntu Live USB from lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso using Unetbootin, it didn't boot on netbook and desktop, what could the reason be? [08:27] i suggest clean install xubuntu [08:27] J0BI: Why? [08:27] Makes no difference [08:28] nydel: gnome-look.org has a vast amount or resources to swallow [08:28] codemaniac: great, thank you. can i ask, do you use unity? [08:29] When you install xubuntu-desktop from APT, will it automatically remove all of the old Gnome/KDE/whatever software as well as their heavy dependencies? [08:29] kaosu: You can remove what's left yourself [08:29] i have used unity on my dads desktop [08:29] kaosu, no it just adds that desktop at your choice at login. [08:29] codemaniac: this /is/ quite a bit to swallow! wow, what fun! [08:30] hellow! Anyone else cannot access gmail.com through chrome browser. I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 throught VirtualBox [08:30] there are system sound files in the path /usr/share/sounds/ === jonathaN1 is now known as jonathaN [08:31] Well, that would be reason enough for most people to do a clean installation of Xubuntu versus the APT method. Having a system full of heavy, useless dependencies and bloated software (Unity) taking up disk space that you don't even want seems a bit.... Well, counter-intuitive to such a fork. [08:31] You would also think having to go through and remove software, bloated dependencies -- it would just be faster to do a clean install. [08:31] Unity ain't bloated [08:32] What's so bloated? [08:32] I can see the APT method being good for just checking it out, though. [08:32] hello all, i got some issue with my network interface when i try to assign an IP address i get following output :/ http://pastebin.com/z9irzBhn [08:32] also the mac address of ifconfig eth0 give me 00:00:00:00:00 [08:32] If you want to remove full desktops look at playing around in the left column here. Removing unity is not advised. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [08:33] jtac, your command makes no sense whatsoever [08:33] jtac, you need to assign a specific IP to an interface, not a range [08:33] I consider software to be bloated using two different measurements: (1) The amount of dependencies required for the Desktop Environment / Typical software pulled in by it on an average installation. (2) The amount of system resources it takes up under normal conditions. [08:33] However, "bloated" is a subjective terms in software, and many opinions will differ - so it is best not to argue over it. [08:34] What one may consider to be bloated, another might find to be rich in support or features, etc. [08:34] pitz: an itnerface needs IP address and a Netmask [08:34] kaosu, all terms are subjective I'm not sure objectivity actually exists. [08:35] Objectivity exists in areas where fact can be widely documented, in controlled environments, across a wide spectrum of test-beds. [08:35] kaosu, that is a weak argument, but that is my opinion from my own reality. ;) [08:36] anyway, what do I do with unity? [08:36] Well, I just choose to believe that most fundamental things such as math and science can be considered to have objectivity in their nature. [08:36] But, with anything, you can get into a realm where one could feel like it no longer exists. [08:37] s1n4, leave it alone it is just a plugin in compiz which is running with a gnome base === peter__ is now known as peetaur [08:39] kaosu, any theory is a theory until proven different, plenty of examples of this, math is a creative art, and it is this creativity in the higher math which gives it a subjective nature it is not all objective, but probably closer then many things. [08:39] than* [08:39] if nothing else, s1n4, give Xubuntu a shot. You might really like XFCE. I personally think XFCE is really awesome, and I enjoy its fundamental approach to a lean system in terms of dependencies, stability, as well as resource consumption. [08:40] With APT, trying it out would be fast and simple. [08:40] wilee-nilee: I know, but I dont know what to do with this shit, I like it but it's annoying me with its bugs [08:40] With an easy way to default back at the login screen if you don't like it. [08:40] hi where i can my ubuntu programing quastion?(irc chanal [08:40] hi where i can ask my ubuntu programing quastion?(irc chanal [08:40] kaosu: thanks :) [08:41] s1n4, Don't use it choose another desktop and use it I use gnome 3 mainly. Unity is very small in actuality, people have put ways of removing it on the web, but you are subject to messing around where it is a waste of time really, and subject to a bricked setup. [08:42] Roj: A programming question isn't going to be that specific to Ubuntu, unless you're talking about some obscure modification the developers have done to the kernel or package that is not common among distributions. [08:42] If anything, you might be better off asking the question in a IRC channel suited for the programming language you're using. [08:42] an* [08:43] how i can get my application installation in ubuntu with python when try to package it? [08:43] how i can get my application installation path in ubuntu with python when try to package it? [08:43] I would agree with not attempting to remove Unity. Trying to uproot it from a vanilla Ubuntu installation is far more hassle than it is ever going to be worth. [08:43] Especially given that it isn't eating up too much space on a modern disk drive. [08:44] wilee-nilee: I like unity but it sucks sometimes, and I just would like to fix the problems, and if I could find something better then I'm glad to switch [08:44] how to make TP-Link Wireless USB Adapter N150 TL-WN723N to work in lubuntu [08:45] Make sure to file bug reports if you would like to help improve Unity. [08:45] s1n4, if you want just xubuntu follow this sites instructions. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu [08:45] wilee-nilee: thanks [08:46] safest way to go s1n4 no problem enjoy.

I thought you would see an identical Ubuntu file on your pc. [09:30] llutz: I see. So what do you suggest me to do? [09:30] ubuntu is debian based right? [09:30] rexis: Yes. [09:31] luftikuss: either paste that file to pastebin or look for a website containing it, to use that link [09:31] rexis: in short yes, but some people have opinions about that question that go over my head [09:31] then if linux mint is ubuntu based, but linux mint debian is debian based then what the hell....

[09:52] Also, I need a good download manager for 12.04... [09:52] cretsiah, it should work out of the box. [09:54] can i convert .img to .iso ? [09:54] cretsiah, try the package pavucontrol for adjusting volume levels if the default controls don't work. [09:54] when i installed, i didnt setup wireless, then after install i plugged in the network cable to do updates. i enabled wireless through restricted drivers and it found my wireless card, i restarted and found my router and tried to connect, it looks like its trying to connect then after about 5 mins it says network disconnected [09:54] so far i havent found any linux distro that it works "out-of-the-box" something about it being a 64-bit driver file on xp [09:55] any ideas? [09:55] melvincv: with the user you are having issues with, what is the output of: id [09:55] hey guys, does anyone know why i cannot connect to ssh via my external IP?(connection refused) but ssh -v localhost works fine? [09:56] Hey guys, got a kinda difficult question today: Could I set up an Ubuntu based print server that hosts a PDF printer in such a way, that a ages old legacy software running on a UNIX system (old Solaris 8) can print on it? That software usually just prints to a hardware printer with a given ID, likely with plain PS or PCL. [09:56] kexwork, port forwarding? [09:56] @ melvincv i will try another ubuntu on it, but im a lil low on ram for the machine [09:56] kexwork: Have you forwarded the port on your router to the machine you're trying to access? [09:56] auronandace, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1150345/ [09:56] TBH I've got no idea how linux based print servers work. I just know that in the given environment a windows print server won't work, that's why I'm exploring alternatives [09:57] cretsiah, what version of Ubuntu are you running? [09:57] mat619: should be possible. cups still supports the lpd stuff. or have the old box just print to .ps and use postscript [09:57] mat619, it will probably work, will just take some setup... not really sure how though, ide turn to google maybe [09:57] melvincv: you need to add your user to the sudo group [09:58] Dr_Willis: the old box is running such a heavily closed software (written in COBOL some time in the 80s, 90s) that I've got no idea how it prints. I just know that if I give it the IP of a real network printer, these print it [09:58] auronandace, that's it, thanks. [09:59] snowgrl373: tried googling the issue already, can't find anything really useful since everyone seems to try to host a printer for fellow linux or windows boxes on the network, not something like this dinosaur here [09:59] DJones: It is a work machine, so am not sure of the rules [09:59] melvincv: just so you know, that is what the other guy meant in your forum post too [09:59] mat619: depends on what printing service its using. or make it print to itself to a ps pr pcl file and capture the output perhaps and transfer it over [09:59] hm, well someone in here will probably be able to help you [09:59] @ melvincv the last ubuntu i tried was version 11 however i've only got about 1gig of ram on that machine (toshiba sat L30) [10:00] anyone to help with my wireless issue? [10:00] Dr_Willis: I would guess it's really just plain lpd. you didn't have much choise on solaris back in the day, did you? it's all more of a guesswork game, but I can't find any info about it. problem is production uses it, and I got the task of creating a PDF printer appliance for it :( [10:01] Does anyone else have trouble with Skype giving a green video in 12.04? === cell1_ is now known as cell0[work] [10:01] jbeatty, havent had an issue... anything on google aboutit?

[10:27] Do anyone know? [10:27] snowgrl373: grr. ok, then, next thing I'd try would be reinstalling. [10:27] i have a question here. i want to run gui apps in console. i mean without installing the desktop enviroment how can i do that [10:28] cfhowlett, reinstalling the os? isnt that a little drastic? [10:28] minhus: wht app? [10:28] snowgrl373: NO NO NO - just the wifi drivers. [10:28] minhus: no way, unless they use a curses interface [10:28] minhus: Where should they be displayed? [10:28] just did, checking now :p [10:28] so i have to install the gtk [10:29] cfhowlett, same issue [10:29] minhus: or install vnc and have them use it to display [10:29] snowgrl373: sorry, then, I can't be of help. stay in channel and ask again... [10:29] lets say i have gtk can i run apps [10:29] its like its taking forever to connect forever [10:29] cfhowlett, ok thanks [10:29] minhus: gtk is just a librayr [10:30] minhus: What do you want to do? If you want to run a prgram with a GUI you need to run Xorg and a suitable window manager (fluxbox, awesomewm, ...) or desktop environment (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, ...) by definition. You *might* want to run a GUI program from a remote machine and have it displayed on your local box though. In either case you need X somewhere. [10:30] not allapps yse the gtk libs [10:30] anyone here to help with an odd broadcom issue? ubuntu 12.04 wireless just sits and tries to connect... [10:31] babilen: i want to run an app from console but i dont want to run desktop enviroment is it possible? [10:31] cfhowlett, could it have been that when i installed the system installed a generic wireless driver of some sort and its conflicting? [10:31] minhus: depends on the app [10:31] it is written in wxwidgets ThinkT510 [10:31] minhus: if it requires a gui then no [10:32] snowgrl373: certainly possible. actually there's one thing I just thought of. wait one ...

[10:32] so i have to run startx first [10:32] and it will load the dekstop enviroment and window manager [10:33] and then my gui will start [10:33] why wont ubuntu 12.04 lts connect and install drivers with my broadcom wifi adapter? it is using my last memory stick with the belkin wifi usb stick just fine [10:33] crede, you might want to get in my boat... im having a similar issue [10:34] not driver issue but connection issue [10:34] minhus: its not rocket science, if you want to run a gui app you need a gui, it really is that simple [10:34] oky [10:34] i know [10:34] ok then [10:34] i will have to install a desktop enviroment to my konsole based distro [10:34] snowgrl373: on last clean upgrade, I used the "no internet connection" method to pull the required files directly from the ISO, a little command line magic and POOF! wifi. didn't even need to reboot.

Firefox: "Apparently there is no style informationen associated with this document. Firefox will show the tree view." [10:35] minhus: You can just install Xorg (apt-get install xorg) and a small window manager such as fluxbox (http://fluxbox.org/) -- No need for a full desktop environment such as Gnome, KDE or XFCE. [10:36] luftikuss: check the readme file, maybe you need to build/render the documentation first? [10:36] minhus: or details as to what you want to acomplish.. we may have other ideas [10:36] by the way . ubuntu is ok but why wont they release it on dvds . we have to install some parts after installing ubuntu. [10:37] minhus: 12.10 will be on dvd [10:37] minhus: there is a live dvd i think? [10:37] minhus: so download the dvd version [10:37] acicula: correct. [10:37] minhus: legal reasons is also a big part of what can go on the cd [10:37] does dvd version have gtk gnome settings apps [10:37] minhus: gnome uses gtk.... [10:37] i want to change some of the settings [10:38] Dr_Willis: i know i am not talking about restricted extras [10:38] hi [10:38] in cd some apps dont be installed [10:38] acicula: I should build/render documentation delivered in an DocBook document? Hardly. [10:38] restricted = legally restricted.. so wont be on the offiicial dvd either i imagine [10:38] Dr_Willis: really will it be on dvd? [10:38] is there a way to query for an IP address of a subdomain in a ns which can't be reached? [10:39] minhus: will what be on the dvd? [10:39] Dr_Willis: 12.10 [10:39] minhus: do you know what the fact behind the restricted extras is? [10:39] cfhowlett, same issue [10:39] i dont get it [10:39] [13:37] minhus: 12.10 will be on dvd [10:39] minhus: blog posts say so. [10:39] k1l_: yes i do know [10:39] laws [10:39] minhus: no you dont [10:39] snowgrl373: sorry, man. officially out of my depth ... [10:40] minhus: if its forbidden to ship them ootb, ubuntu cant ship them. [10:40] for example ubuntone package does not come with the cd you have to install it [10:40] i hope they will add these kinds of apps on dvd [10:40] minhus: they can't, licence prohibits distribution [10:40] i imagine they will try to keep it small [10:41] cfhowlett, lady :p [10:41] is there a way to query for an IP address of a subdomain in a ns which can't be reached? <--- sorry for repost in short time, but urgent matter [10:41] its ok :) [10:41] Dr_Willis: keep small? [10:41] snowgrl373: I stand corrected [10:41] why do they do that [10:41] ThinkT510: i know [10:41] sudo modprobe b43 did the trick! [10:41] no need to put in 4gb of stuff thatpeople wont use [10:41] also i cant change fonts in 12.04 [10:42] minhus: if you know it, why do you want it tp be on a cd/dvd? that doesnt make any sense [10:42] finally! [10:42] minhus: then why do you hope they add it to the dvd if you know they can't? [10:42] i want to customise my ubuntu [10:42] myunity - can change font settings i belive [10:42] minerale, how so? [10:42] ThinkT510: cant they add gnome-settings bla bla to the dvd? [10:42] they make the distro small cause they release it on a cd [10:42] minhus: whats the problem with downloading the package directly? [10:42] minhus: we dont know what you mean by 'gnome-settings' [10:42] okay so i have 2 laptops that have SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio. neither have sound. nothing is muted or turned down. [10:43] but as Dr_Willis said if 12.10 will be released on dvd there is no need to make the distro small [10:43] the single cd has been a design goal for ages.. [10:43] hm, it connected, now its not again, ugh [10:43] Dr_Willis: it is for changing fonts and themes [10:43] all a dvd will do is force you to download a ton of stuff you either wont need, or which will get immedeatly replaced with newer packages on installation [10:43] they dont want to make a 4gb iso that will be 50% useless stuff [10:44] what about offline installations? [10:44] all i want to say is that linux is getting bigger [10:44] acicula: +1 (big install media makes no sense to me) [10:44] going to restart [10:44] last i looked it was about a 1gb iso [10:44] and a single cd is not enough [10:44] minhus: just download the packages you want with apt-get [10:44] gillie-monster: if you are in that situation you are much better off using the tools available to you with which to create a tailored installation cd/dvd with updated packages [10:44] single cd is not enough. hell using a CD is bad for the drive, and if the drive is getting worn out, installing is a bitch n u might end up with a frankenstein when its done [10:45] lol [10:45] gillie-monster: i am agree with you [10:45] not all systems support DVD is the idea [10:45] minhus: but you can create your own cd/dvd with you favorite apps. just take a look at remastersys [10:46] i dont even put optical drives in my box's [10:46] they must add more customising tools i know iso file will be bigger but i dont say that i will be 4gb [10:46] !remaster | minhus [10:46] minhus: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

[11:58] namoamitabuddha: What do you men by "speed of inputting"? [11:58] speed of typing. [11:58] ohhh he wants training [11:58] Hi all [11:59] is there a SCP package or similar for ubuntu? [11:59] mat619: right click on a folder and select "share" [11:59] Shadow`: its in the package "openssh-client" [11:59] Shadow`: should be installed by default [11:59] ah ye i see :P no wonder i couldnt install it, cool thanks iceroot [11:59] iceroot: server, no GUI. [12:00] debianichooseyou: LibreOffice Writer does this job exellently. -- Thank you very much for your help. [12:00] namoamitabuddha: you might want to try something like the 'junior-typing' package ( `sudo aptitude install junior-typing` ) [12:00] mat619: the default /etc/samba/smb.conf shoudl hold an example for a normal share [12:00] debianichooseyou: well, first aptitude search '~njunior-typing' [12:00] debianichooseyou: please suggest apt-get because aptitude is no longer installed by default [12:00] iceroot: i know that. please reread what I asked.

[12:01] Shadow`++ [12:01] iceroot: The faculty of aptitude to solve the dependency problems is so much stronger than apt-get. [12:01] Shadow`: ubuntus idea is to provide exactly one package for a need [12:01] namoamitabuddha++ [12:02] !aptitude | namoamitabuddha [12:02] namoamitabuddha: 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. [12:02] Shadow`: but the real reason is that there was no space left on the 700mb iso, because of that aptitude, vim and gimp are removed [12:02] Shadow`: ah and the text from ubottu is showing another reason [12:02] iceroot: does ubuntu default to gnome? [12:03] ah, my 12.04 still has aptitude, luckely, and usually its prefered to stick to 1 arch anyways, no? :p [12:03] debianichooseyou: ? [12:03] iceroot: ? [12:03] yes default gnome3 [12:03] debianichooseyou: default to gnome? [12:03] ThinkT510: Well, mine is singlearch. [12:03] iceroot: yeah, default tasksel for desktop ? [12:03] Shadow`: you can easily install aptitude "sudo apt-get install aptitude" [12:03] debianichooseyou: default desktop is unity (based on gnome3) [12:03] debianichooseyou: unity [12:03] ahh^ [12:04] I asked somebody from #debian and they said that apt-get && aptitude are interchangable now. [12:04] changed it again? i remember installing ubuntu desktop not to long ago (maybe a few eeks) and it had gnome3 as default ;/ [12:04] something must be entirely wrong with my samba setup. just noticed I can't even see the share from smbtree on the local machnie. [12:04] debian has a Git commit to default tasksel to Xfce for the exact reason that gnome3 wouldn't fit on the 700 MB CD1 :P === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest64251 [12:04] hello, I'm struggling with setting a default gateway that is not on my local subnet. Anyone done that? [12:04] Shadow`: ubuntu never had gnome3 as default [12:04] oh [12:05] How can i print a file using my prisnter which is connected to my laptop on lubuntu? [12:05] debianichooseyou: the reason why debian removed gnome3 is not the size [12:05] debianichooseyou: not the main reason [12:05] I am trying to follow this How-To (http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/) using a VM with VirtualBox, and I get to the part where I check out my IP address and test it in a browser ... but my browser times out ... my IP is 10.0.2.15 [12:05] iceroot: uh... 1. gnome3 isn't "removed"? 2. yes it is. I read the Git commit changelog. [12:05] debianichooseyou: its removed but the reason is not the size [12:06] http://is.gd/nijuse [12:06] So explain the changelog there? [12:06] And, where exactly are you seeing that it's "removed" ... ? [12:06] !ot | iceroot debianichooseyou [12:06] iceroot debianichooseyou: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:07] debianichooseyou: #debian is offtopic here [12:08] yeah whatever. ubuntu only exists because of debian [12:08] What about GNU typist? [12:09] zetheroo, what is the ipaddress of your vm? [12:09] thildred_wfh: ifconfig tells me it's 10.0.2.15 [12:10] and have you either opened port 80 in iptables or disabled iptables on the vm? [12:10] zetheroo, [12:11] thildred_wfh: have not done anything ... just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 fresh with options OpenSSH and LAMP selected during setup. Then I did a system update ... that's all [12:11] zetheroo, just for the record, you did all that on a vm, right? [12:11] running on some other operating system [12:12] thildred_wfh: yes, on the VM ... which is running on an Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 host via VirtualBox [12:13] zetheroo, could you summarise the problem you are having again, i haven't seen the history [12:13] ok, zetheroo, easiest thing to do is on the vm, do a sudo ufw disable [12:13] thildred_wfh: what will that do? [12:13] and then try opening the page from your host (the desktop machine) again. [12:13] that will turn off [12:13] the firewall on the vm [12:13] if you run it on the vm [12:14] and i think zetheroo that you are trying to open that url (the ipadress of your vm) from the host (desktop) [12:14] thildred_wfh: yes, that is what I am trying to do [12:14] host = base computer hosting vms, guest = virtual machine [12:14] yeah [12:14] so try that ufw disable [12:14] on the vm [12:15] and then try opening the url on your host pc (desktop) [12:15] thildred_wfh: ok will try that now ... [12:16] hello , can anyone recommend me some good software for a samsung galaxy s 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS please ? [12:16] rainbowwarrior2, gmtp [12:16] thildred_wfh: I had just booted up the VM just now and it is saying "Waiting for network configuration ... " [12:16] might take a second [12:17] thildred_wfh: now it says "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration ..." [12:17] ok thank you thildred_wfh [12:17] rainbowwarrior2: software to do what? [12:17] np [12:17] rainbowwarrior2, [12:17] rainbowwarrior2: if you mean storage/modem access, think that should just work without any extra software [12:18] acicula, so i can save contacts, put mp3's and games etc on my phone [12:18] thildred_wfh: "Booting up computer without complete network configuration ..." [12:18] anyone here using ultimate edition 3.4 or know a channel for it? [12:18] zetheroo, your host pc usually works as a dhcp server for the guests (virtual machines) that run on it. [12:18] zetheroo, thats ok [12:18] zetheroo, so long as it boots, we can see whats up with networking when you've logged in [12:18] rainbowwarrior2: you can just put the device in usb mode to transfer files, dunno about syncing the phone with the pc though [12:19] i just use google contacts for that [12:19] ok thank you acicula [12:21] rainbowwarrior2: you probably dont have to use google contacts to do it though, its just convenient in my case [12:22] thildred_wfh: now ifconfig does not even show a network device but only "lo" [12:22] well, if you try ifconfig -a [12:22] zetheroo, [12:22] you'll see more NICs [12:23] and if you take the results of that zetheroo and run dhclient [12:23] you may get an IP address [12:23] thildred_wfh: ok, with that I can see eth1 but it's got no ip adress info [12:23] zetheroo, try dhclient eth1 [12:24] thildred_wfh: tried that - RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted [12:24] sudo dhclient eth1 [12:24] meh been oging over like 20 games [12:24] only decent ones are FPS [12:24] and I suppose HoN [12:26] thildred_wfh: sudo dhclient eth1 ............ returns nothing [12:26] thildred_wfh: I think my network setting on the VM might be wrong [12:27] nb-ben: ? [12:27] that could be zetheroo, what do you have it set to? [12:27] from the perspective of virtual box? [12:28] acicula, native linux games [12:28] nb-ben: yeah there are some. there is this though http://steamforlinux.com/ [12:29] thildred_wfh: I just shut down the VM and set the network settings to : PCnet-FAST III (NAT) [12:29] are you gonna fire it up again and see what happens? [12:30] thildred_wfh: have already ... checking now ... [12:30] acicula, non-free [12:30] thildred_wfh: no change :( [12:31] zetheroo, but it was working before? your virtual machine got an ipaddress before? [12:31] thildred_wfh: hang on ... when I do ifconfig -a I get eth1 with an IP address now [12:31] nb-ben: ah yeah then there isnt much, westeroth or openttd arent to bad if you like that sort of game [12:31] hey [12:31] ! [12:31] thats good [12:31] thildred_wfh: IP address is 10.0.2.15 [12:31] zetheroo, [12:31] same as before [12:31] first things first [12:31] on your host machine, can you open a terminal and ping that ipaddress zetheroo [12:32] thildred_wfh: but how could it ping that address when my local lan is on 192.168.x.x ? [12:32] did you try it? [12:32] thildred_wfh: trying now ... [12:32] zetheroo, your host machine acts as a dhcp server for vms running on it [12:33] thildred_wfh: not getting any feedback from ping [12:33] zetheroo: All operating systems maintain a "routing table" which tells them how to direct network packets from on sub-network to another, and when no rules match, which interface provides a 'default route' (usually the Internet router) [12:34] zetheroo: To check the routing table do "ip route show" [12:34] thildred_wfh: 98 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 97766ms [12:34] thats weird zetheroo, if you do ifconfig -a on the host, do you see any ipaddress that look like 10.something? [12:35] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1150546/ [12:35] I tried to replace xscreensaver with gnome-screensaver (I wanted to add my own and the instructions were for the latter) but gnome-screensaver-preferences didn't come with the package. [12:35] zetheroo: thildred_wfh There is no host route for the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet [12:35] zetheroo, it's not uncommon for machines to have ICMP packets disabled by default (those packets are used for ping) in order to prevent packet-flooding attacks from multituding (the machine sends equal size response and a 5mbit attack becomes 10mbit) [12:35] thildred_wfh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1150547/ [12:36] multiplying * [12:36] zetheroo: On the host, what hypervisor are you using? Is it KVM managed by "Virtual Machine Manager" ? [12:36] TJ-, its virtual box [12:37] TJ-: Virtual Box [12:37] ;) [12:37] thildred_wfh: thanks :) I came in late [12:37] np [12:37] zetheroo, can you do the sudo ufw disable on the vm, and try that again? [12:37] thildred_wfh: ok [12:38] thildred_wfh: ok Firewall disabled [12:38] zetheroo: thildred_wfh I don't use VB, but it would seem to me it must have an option to enable networking via NAT and that should add the necessary IP to the vboxnet0 interface, or bridge it, and adjust the routing table [12:38] yeah, thats been done TJ- [12:38] i think [12:38] its already set to NAT from the virtual box side [12:38] unless thats not what you mean [12:38] thildred_wfh: well there's no IP for the vboxnet0 i/f and it isn't bridged either... so VB isn't doing something [12:39] thildred_wfh: It can't NAT if it has no IP on the host side [12:39] thildred_wfh: after disabling there is still no difference with any of the previous commands/actions [12:40] thildred_wfh just entered, havent followed... set NAT to bridged in your VB settings, to make a bridge to your existing network [12:40] zetheroo, ^^ [12:40] set = c hange [12:40] thildred_wfh: does a proxy need to be setup from VB side? [12:40] ok will shut the VM down and change that [12:40] MonkeyDust, i would have thought NAT was fine for getting set up? === Kiryx_ is now known as Kiryx [12:40] bridged is ideal [12:40] but not required [12:41] nat or bridged you should have ping between guest and host, no? [12:41] thildred_wfh use the one that works [12:41] firing the VM back up .... [12:41] is there a way to force an old laptop (that have no boot device options) to install ubuntu with usb anyway? [12:41] "bridged" means its all one ethernet segment ... no sub-net to route between [12:43] the VM always gets stalled at this point of "Waiting for network configuration..." [12:43] zetheroo, that seems strange. i am kind of tapped out though. [12:44] zetheroo: thildred_wfh: regarding the host having no IP I see this in the VB docs: "The interface is configured when a VM set to use Host-Only. Until such a VM is started, the interface is not configured." [12:44] ok, VM finished booting ... should I disable the firewall again? [12:44] sure [12:44] and try your pings [12:45] and see if ifconfig gives anything on both host and guest [12:45] basically you want to see that they both have an ipaddress on the same subnet [12:45] zetheroo: thildred_wfh: and the docs go on to say that the host-side isn't brought up until something on the guest tries to use the network [12:45] hello [12:45] docs? [12:45] ;) [12:45] ifconfig on the VM shows no ip address for eth1 [12:45] hi, after my system self-upgraded to 3.0.0.24 my boot halts. previous version boots. what could be the prob? [12:47] thildred_wfh: pinging from the host is unsuccessful ... [12:47] shucks. zetheroo, based on what you've said, it sounds like a problem with virtual box networking [12:47] that virtualboxnetwork [12:47] or whatever should have an ipaddress [12:47] thildred_wfh: yeah - I am thinking that too [12:47] hold on [12:48] fireing up virtual box [12:48] subdesign: can you describe it mor points? [12:48] subdesign:can you try a clean install? [12:48] is there an openoffice channel? [12:49] subdesign the most recent kernel is -29 -- what ubuntu version do you have? [12:49] !alis | sambagirl [12:49] sambagirl: 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* [12:49] if boot error , maybe you can look up in the dmesg [12:49] thildred_wfh: just be clear... in Vbox settings for this VM I have Adapter 1 enabled with [12:49] Attached to: Bridged [12:49] Name: wlan1 [12:49] [12:49] sambagirl #libreoffice [12:49] oops .. :P [12:49] ahh thanks [12:49] monkeydust [12:49] thildred_wfh: and then there is an "Advanced" section .. [12:49] Bigbird, when the five point comes in boot sequence, there halts the system [12:49] what window manager do u ppl run in Ubuntu? [12:50] MonkeyDust, 29? sorry i use 11.10 [12:50] thildred_wfh: Adapter type is PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973) [12:50] !ot | Bubbelgum [12:50] Bubbelgum: depends what desktop they have installed, unity uses compiz by default [12:50] Bubbelgum: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:51] lotuspsychje, im devving coutinously havent time to reinstall :/ [12:51] well the problem i have is that compiz does crasch when exiting Minecraft [12:51] subdesign:any error on the halt point? [12:51] no [12:51] does anyone else have high Compiz memory usage? [12:51] what ubuntu are you running zetheroo ? TJ- MonkeyDust maybe you guys can correct me, but i didn't think bridging and wlan played nice together [12:51] subdesign: To boot into the previous kernel, when the PC starts and you see the BIOS screen hold down the SHIFT key which will allow you to enter the GRUB boot menu. Choose "Previous operating systems" then in the resulting menu, choose the previous kernel version [12:51] !info linux-generic oneiric | subdesign [12:51] subdesign: linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0.19.23 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 36 kB [12:51] thays why o wounder, what other ppl running [12:52] TJ- i did that so im here :) [12:52] thildred_wfh ah, wlan, missed that part [12:52] subdesign:did you enable wifi during install proces? [12:52] thildred_wfh: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on the Host and on the VM guest [12:52] thildred_wfh: bridging is an ethernet thing. The only reason it is not so optimal for WiFi is the number of packets it can cause to be sent across the WiFi that aren't necessary [12:52] so I try to umount a disk but it fails because it's busy, but neither lsof nor fuser show anything for that disk, what can I do? [12:52] Compiz (on my system) is using 250mb of RAM; is this a memory leak? [12:52] subdesign: So it still hangs up using a previous kernel version? [12:52] what exactly would sudo -i -u postgres psql do? is it simply: allow postgres user to run psql? [12:52] yes [12:52] lewis: if it is it would keep growing [12:53] not the pervious, the most current hangs up [12:53] ojii: You're probably got a terminal session or program that has changed-directory (cd) and is inside the mount point [12:53] subdesign:during install you can choose to see install details, maybe it can help you see the freeze part? [12:53] I submitted a bug report, but I was told to submit the report to Nvidia instead ; is this information correct? [12:53] TJ-, why wouldn't fuser/lsof show that? [12:53] lotuspsychje, yes i continue so booting text mode it hang on part: checking battery status [12:53] or same [12:54] lewis: ask whoever told you to submit the bugreport to nvidia? [12:54] god knows what happened .Just try again ,maybe it will work .I f error again,maybe is the cpu bugs [12:54] subdesign: OK, so boot into the previous version that works then immediately examine the log files. /var/log/kern.log /var/log/syslog and also, from the last boot /var/log/dmesg.1 [12:54] subdesign:i had that once for upgrade to precise too, trying few times again solved it [12:55] ok TJ- thx noting .. [12:55] I got an email from someone when I submitted a bug report and the email stated I had to submit instead to NVIDIA; I though the drivers were closed source? [12:55] subdesign: which cpu arch you choosed ? [12:55] lotuspsychje, really? hmm [12:55] ok. so zetheroo, i think you do need bridging. TJ- MonkeyDust, you need to set up bridging properly for it to work, right? [12:55] like you can't just turn it on [12:55] NetworkManager and bridging dont work together [12:55] (i think) [12:55] subdesign: Some of the logs will, obviously, most recently contain messages from the *good* boot so you'll have to look at the timestamps and scroll back to the time it failed. From the GUI use "Log file viewer" [12:55] thildred_wfh not sure with wlan, bridged works out of the box with ethernet [12:56] x86_64 have a bug on install time for amd cpu [12:56] lewis: nvidia drivers are closed source, doesn't mean they don't want bug reports [12:56] thildred_wfh: I'll try it here I've just installed VB [12:56] subdesign:maybe this can help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1896915 [12:56] lewis: just means that nvidia are the only ones who can fix it [12:56] sick [12:56] 芻邑子 [12:56] zetheroo, meet TJ- [12:56] Okay, do I just email Nvidia or do they have a 'git' style bug report site? [12:56] TJ- nice suggestion, checking [12:56] :) [12:56] thildred_wfh: ha - thanks ;) [12:56] lewis: no idea sorry [12:56] chuyizi : hello [12:57] everytime i add this to my sshd_config i can't log in via ssh any more. im trying to setup an sftp server using OpenSSH and all the tutorials say this is part of the process: http://pastie.org/4521279 [12:57] thildred_wfh: well I would - but the VB install fails because I'm running on kernel v3.5 [12:57] shoot [12:57] lotuspsychje, good fintind man, thanks [12:57] *finding [12:57] subdesign:got an ati card inside? [12:57] #deepin [12:57] yes as i remember it was an nvidia update too [12:58] thildred_wfh: I'll fix my own bug first :p it's a failed-to-build-from-source issue with the VB DKMS kernel module [12:58] i'm fresh out of juice here. except maybe sudo apt-get install boxes [12:58] Here's the bug report I submitted to the upstream kernel team: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45721 [12:58] #ubuntu-cn [12:58] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 45721 in Video(DRI - non Intel) "High Compiz memory usage, eventual crash."

I need to upgrade my kernel to 3.3.6 (I'm on 12.04 32bit) because apparently it's the fix to the freeze ups experienced by Ivy Bridge processors, but I get a plethora of issues when I booted into it, advice? [13:08] anyone here got experience with flashcache ? [13:09] ekarlso:whats your purpose? [13:09] monkfish: we can't support your kernel [13:10] lotuspsychje: speed up a virtualization box [13:10] ThinkPad, dang. [13:11] ekarlrso: i think there might be better tricks to speed up virtual machines then flash speedup [13:11] can someone help me with adding my Qubes boot into the Ubnuntu grub.cfg? [13:11] http://fpaste.org/77bg/ [13:12] lotuspsychje: like ? [13:12] ekarlrso:if its a dedi virtualbox, maybe an ssd drive would be interesting, and install the vm on it [13:12] The top is the loading sequence for Qubes and underneath the hashtags is the Ubuntu grub.cfg [13:12] gr72: you're not meant to edit grub.cfg directly [13:12] lotuspsychje: that's expensive ;p [13:12] what's bad about using flashcache for it ? [13:13] I tried, but theres an error [13:13] ekarlso:there are pretty cheap ssd's these days, nothing wrong with cache [13:13] you should put the VM images on a seperate drive than the host, if you want speed [13:13] I wouldn't have to if it worked when Ubuntu saw that it was a linux System. [13:13] compdoc: pardon ? [13:14] ekarlso:or maybe html5 as flash alternative [13:14] gr72: you're not meant to edit it directly, the files you edit are in /etc/grub.d/ (when you run sudo update-grub it replaces your grub.cfg) [13:14] ekarlso: eh, html5 ??? what does that have to do with a flashcache ? [13:14] ekarlso, do you store the VM image on the host's boot drive? [13:14] compdoc: lvm on mdraid 5 3*2tb [13:15] ekarlso, and the host boots from that?

I've tried editting the shortcut in settings/keyboard/shortcut/window/toggle fullscreen or in compiz, but the shortcut doesn't work in either case.

[13:43] evenflow:after installing testdisk, you can can recover data with photorec, best data recovery ever [13:43] TJ-: it's in system configuration->keyboard->shortcuts->window->toggle fullscreen [13:43] (for 12.04) [13:44] I have this shortcut working for one computer, and yet the very same shortcut doesn't work for the very same application on another computer, both of which run ubuntu 12.04 [13:44] I would like to know what could prevent this shortcut from working.

[13:47] yea [13:47] TJ-: yes you're right there's no default shortcut assigned to it, but you can assign one. I did so. And it worked on one pc, not on the other. [13:47] zetheroo: Yes, I can do that. I have three (2 wired and 1 wireless) [13:47] i just used fdisk with /dev/sdb and cleared the partitions on it [13:47] TJ-: yes both 12.04 lts x64 desktop edition. [13:47] TJ-: ok, cause I cannot plug into an ethernet here ... too far from the router [13:47] try sudo gparted on it evenflow [13:47] ok [13:47] TJ-: one is a laptop (the one that doesn't work). [13:47] kristenbb: Then something else has probably bound to the same keypress first... that used to be an issue with older gnome installations... trying to find out what was grabbing the keypress first [13:47] :-(|) [13:48] this is what i get with gparted [13:48] Unable to open /dev/sdb read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sdb has been opened read-only. [13:48] TJ-: and also, one is using 2d, the other 3d [13:48] zetheroo: I'm sure I can figure it out, once I've got the ISO downloaded [13:48] TJ-: thanks!! [13:48] evenflow:are you not logged in as root on the system? [13:48] kristenbb: and which one won't do full-screen? 3D ? [13:48] i am [13:48] TJ-: yes [13:49] evenflow:did it have special encryption software on it (windows)? [13:49] TJ-: the laptop, with unity 3d, doesn't do fullscreen. [13:49] how to lang [13:49] aw my theme change automatically while I was watching youtube video [13:49] evenflow: You need to erase the hard disk. ARE YOU SURE? [13:49] how to land as root?

[13:49] oh looks like I hit a wrong button :) [13:49] lol [13:50] keep it to topic guys [13:50] lotuspsychje, not sure [13:50] TJ-: ok as a matter of fact this is the problem, I've just tested using ubuntu 2d with the laptop, and it works [13:50] i was able to make changes with fdisk [13:50] evenflow: Well. Are you booting the liveCD? [13:50] TJ-: so my question now is [13:50] deleted all partitions, created a new one [13:50] namoamitabuddha, wtf? [13:50] TJ-: how to enable 'toggle fullscreen' on ubuntu 3D? [13:50] evenflow: ? [13:50] Oh, hello guys. [13:51] evenflow: Are you booting the LiveCD or the system on your hard disk? [13:51] kristenbb: My bet is, unity disables full-screen because of conflicts within compiz... I've found bugs about that already [13:51] evenflow:can try sudo testdisk and wipe from there [13:51] So I want a portable USB, should I install buntu to it, or should I just use live cd? [13:51] If I use live CD how do I allow it space?? [13:51] Thanks. [13:51] evenflow: O, SORRY. [13:51] evenflow: IS /dev/sdb YOUR USB STICK? [13:51] !caps [13:51] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [13:51] lotuspsychje, will try [13:51] TJ-: unity 2D allows them though ... so maybe the conflict is not hard to solve [13:52] evenflow: Is /dev/sdb your USB stick? [13:52] lotuspsychje, - This media may be physically write-protected, check the jumpers. [13:52] i see,thanks [13:52] Wanted: Portable USB, Use live cd or clean install? want space for filesystem. wat do? [13:53] evenflow:there is no special button for security on the stick perhaps?

[14:14] ThinkT510: thanks === ARGinianPeon4444 is now known as dweez [14:14] slipttees: brasero seldom failed, though I like k3b better (pulls lots of libs from kde, though) or go by dd or wodim, nero is also possible, if you own a registered key [14:14] slipttees: there are so many burning applications (k3b is imo the best), just install another software and everyone is happy [14:14] slipttees: It's not a manpage. It teaches you step by step. === FA-ncp is now known as ncp [14:15] iceroot: k3b needs KDE environment. [14:15] namoamitabuddha: as i said earlier, yes [14:15] namoamitabuddha: You should review another recorder for ubuntu, because this is no longer acceptable to a level distribution of ubuntu. [14:15] please can someone tell my the differences between 32 & 64 bits of ubuntu? [14:15] slipttees: brasero is working fine for most users [14:16] slipttees: as said already [14:16] slipttees: ... [14:16] slipttees: maybe your problem is not brasero related [14:16] slipttees: if you find a bug fill it [14:16] iceroot: He thinks that CLI is not for end-users.

[14:16] win-fail: x64 supports more memory + faster execution times [14:16] Can we move on? [14:16] Yes. [14:16] slipttees: you could start brasero from cmd-line to see debugging output [14:17] DasEi: i known it [14:17] namoamitabuddha: i think that too and the nice thing is that you dont need the cli anymore to use GNU/Linux [14:17] win-fail: x86 only supports up to 3.75GB of memory iirc [14:17] benassi: do you get along ?

[14:18] iceroot: google it for yourself [14:18] siavashserver: 32bit = 4gb adressable memory [14:18] iceroot: No, I don't think so. Working with command line interface and practicing enough, we can work more efficient. Shells and scripts work well. [14:18] denys_: what kind of ? try vlc [14:18] I am choosing it, and then I get an error. I tried vlc [14:18] Package dependencies cannot be resolved [14:18] This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time [14:18] siavashserver: i dont need to google that because i know it [14:18] DasEi: cause** [14:18] i use k3b but use lxde or gnome. the dependencies get fixed on install. might want to install systemsettings to manipulate KDE settings tho [14:18] siavashserver: 32bit = 4gb (ram + vga + pci adressbus) [14:19] siavashserver: vga = shared memory vga [14:19] treebuey: How did you start k3b? [14:19] denys_: partner/medibuntu repos enabled ? libdvd... ?? [14:19] treebuey: I failed to do that. [14:19] treebuey: Maybe permission problems. [14:19] The Ubuntu 32-bit images (except the mini.iso) use PAE enabled kernels and can address more than 4GB of physical memory (if the hardware chipset supports the additional address lines) [14:19] what? 0o I am noob in ubuntu [14:19] iceroot: i don't have a shared memory vga and available memory is 3.75 on 32bit os [14:20] !libdvdcss | denys_ [14:20] denys_: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [14:20] i dident think lubuntu used the pae kernel by default either [14:20] siavashserver: ram + vga + pci adressbus [14:20] siavashserver: google it [14:20] Dr_Willis: maybe... I've not looked. [14:20] iceroot: google something i'm sure about? gimmie break [14:21] lol [14:21] namoamitabuddha: it seems to install itself in the gnome menu. or run /usr/bin/k3b from a terminal [14:21] denys_: nvm, I'm having a break before going on, so.. open a terminal [14:21] finally slowly breaking away from the old old hardware. ;) [14:21] #openvswitch [14:21] siavashserver: lets stop this useless discussion, 32bit can adress 4gb memory (memory is not only ram) [14:21] my friend uses ubuntu 12.04 too, and he didn't got any of theese problesm [14:21] treebuey: Yes, but some error arose.

[14:23] can anyone please help me , my ubuntu 11.10 is crashing while I am copying a file of big size? [14:23] bharath: file a bug. [14:23] denys_: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [14:23] namoamitabuddha: that is not usefull in this context [14:23] bharath: how big, from where to where, copying how... [14:23] namoamitabuddha: interesting. did you try running k3b as root or with sudo? [14:23] denys_: give resulting url here [14:24] treebuey: No, normal user. [14:24] iceroot: The thing is, most "32-bit" processors actually have an address-bus width of 36 bits, allowing addressing 64GB if the kernel supports PAE. [14:24] TJ-: we are talking about 32bit, not pae [14:24] namoamitabuddha: k3b has a k3b setup tool/wizard you may want to run [14:24] iceroot: It works because the system crashes. [14:24] Dr_Willis, size = 500mb from my local drive to Desktop [14:25] bharath: desktop is on the same hd? or 2 different hds or partitions? [14:25] Dr_Willis, two different partitions === yavor is now known as m1h0 [14:25] Dr_Willis, I am also facing same problem while I am extracting a file [14:26] bharath: checked dmesg output when it fails? or 'tail -f /var/log/dmesg' as it copies and watch for errors [14:27] denys_: anybody out there ? [14:27] canon MG5320 works with USB but not wireless...any ideas? [14:27] with canon.. be thankfull it works at all. [14:28] Dr_Willis, this is dmesg http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1150745/ [14:28] sya unable to get printer status [14:28] rustler770: try the cups web interface to configure it. the webgui has a lot more settings i fine to twiddle with [14:28] rustler770: can't look after it now, my pixma does fine, if no reply here, try looking in the forum, too [14:29] Interesting flash plugin just completely stopped working [14:30] I used system settings > printing to configure downloaded drivers from canon [14:30] chromium-browser doens't even think it's installed any more [14:30] denys_: pastebinit installed ? [14:31] bharath: monitor dmesg logs via that tail command and try copying the files.. to see if any errors appear.. you did check that your hd sient full? [14:31] Dr_Willis, and one thing when I am changing the permissions of a certain folder it is again changing its permission to is default [14:32] sounds like fs curruption, or hd hardware issues to me [14:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1150752/ [14:34] sry, my dog is sick, went to give her medicine [14:34] I am here now [14:34] denys_: nick, please (what was the bot-trigger again, highlite ??)

[14:36] denys_: if you don't put nicks in irc-conversations, your partner won't see message highlited, so it's easily lost, reading pastie now [14:37] bharath: so fay you havent proven its either issue.. watch dmesg output for any error messages. fsck your filesystrm from a live cd, wont hurt either [14:37] like this? [14:38] Dr_Willis, if you don't mind can you tell the procedure for that? [14:38] denys_: so first let's enable partners repos : gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [14:38] denys_: that works, but look in the channel , its DasEi: [14:38] !fsck | bharath [14:38] bharath: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:39] DasEi like this? [14:39] Can anyone confirm that the flashplugin-installer is not currently working with chromium-browser? [14:39] lol [14:39] !yay [14:39] Glad you made it! :-) [14:39] hehe [14:39] denys_: so first let's enable partners repos : gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [14:39] is that factoid still correct? [14:40] Dr_Willis, can I run the command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" directly now [14:40] DasEi: I have widow opened ing gedit [14:40] bharath: that will reboot the pc and fsck the system when it boots [14:40] or should at lease [14:40] denys_: if you look at the pastie, see lines 53,54 ? in gedit, remove the '#' in front that two lines [14:40] DasEi: with lots of string in it [14:41] nvm just started working again after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras not sure what the issue was [14:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1150752/ , denys_ [14:41] DasEi: 53,54. y . done [14:41] denys_: SAVE file [14:41] NO proprietary software! === Squarepy_ is now known as Squarepy [14:41] DasEi: saved [14:41] denys_: close gedit [14:42] DasEi: closed [14:42] -> FREE software [14:42] !proprietary [14:42] namoamitabuddha: do you have a support question?

[15:18] GirlyGirl, wanting to install ArchBang [15:18] why doesn't* ... work?

[15:20] vampsdabeast I mean, when ubuntu autoupgrade to new kernel, it autoupgrades grub legacy. It works, but I think it will generate recovery options, is true?

[17:01] DasEi: I don't think so. What I do hear, is that 5 beepsound error coming from the drive. Not sure wht it means. [17:02] greetings [17:02] dae448: Have you checked "man gnome-terminal" ?

[17:03] dae448, * man = mean [17:04] TJ-, --tab-with-profile works, but it opens a new terminal window with that profile, it doesn't attach it as a new tab in the existing window [17:04] dae448: ahh ok, I wondered if it was subtely different from --window-with-profile === SolarisB2y is now known as SolarisBoy [17:05] dae448: what is intriguing is "--disable-factory" implies that by default it *should* reuse an existing terminal [17:06] Probably the wrong channel but I was wondering if anyone has got CS:GO running? [17:06] Right now it loads up but if you change anything in the menu/settings or join a server it kills the application and places me back to my desktop. [17:06] twem: try #winehq [17:06] TJ-, --disable-factory seems to reuse the existing terminal's connection, just in a new window. Not sure what it would be useful for [17:07] jazzkovsky: so it's possibly a dead drive then, re-check on another box, last chance is hitachi firmware (parked or something), can't help there any further [17:07] Okay, thanks. Was just trying here first to see any ubuntu users had a fix. [17:07] The best I can do is a hot key that runs gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Prof1 --tab-with-profile=Prof2 ... and have them all open at once [17:07] hmm my ubuntu box keeps logging me out, its like it runs out of resources, then just dumps me to a login screen [17:08] DasEi: k. thanks.

Yesterday, the hardware switch would turn Bluetooth on, but not the Wireless. And both are controlled by the same switch. So it looks like the switch isn't the problem. Also, the F5 key DOES toggle softblock for Bluetooth, so that hardware key is okay too. So I would think that hardware isn't the problem. [17:15] any help pls ?

[17:38] i want it works as apu turbo mode like it should === zz_scottas is now known as scottas [17:38] ocing cpu on laptop is stuid batterys die in seconds obviously [17:39] TJ: Unfortunately. . . . . . . . . No change [17:39] ld run 1 or 2 cores on 2400 if there is need f power and rest n 800 in thet tie [17:40] all it cna run is 1500 as non turbo on windows [17:40] kaylee: some precompiled binary not from the repos wants an older version? [17:40] marcus___: As I understand it, 'turbo' mode turns off 2 of the 4 cores to boost their clocks...*only* if the running applications are lightly threaded. In other words, if the processes running on the system are using lots of threads more performance is gained by keeping all 4 cores busy at the regular clock rate [17:41] no, not a precompiled binary [17:41] morning: Grrrr [17:41] trying to compile, and didn't want to muck with the config file unless I have to [17:41] kaylee: what then exactly? [17:41] TJ :-) [17:41] kaylee: ahh.. thats. different then [17:41] tj yes but its dont works at all [17:41] yeah, sorry :) === markdark_ is now known as markdark [17:41] i googled alot and non seems to find any solution [17:42] kaylee: you may need to compile the older lib also [17:42] for games this is game breaking cuz most games are singel core games [17:42] and this gaming laptop simly cannto run games on linux [17:42] marcus___:maybe they know something more in ##hardware about this issue? [17:42] its not problem for normal use but i play HoN so i need some etra power on single core [17:43] ty i check [17:43] is there even any possibility that something as simple as a symlink may work? [17:43] marcus___: what type of cpu do you have? === Rajesh is now known as Guest37020 [17:43] kaylee: it may need the older version for a reason. but i guess you could try.. [17:44] Hi, i have a problem with a midi keyboard. I cant find it in qjackctl or anywhere else.. only in lsusb. what might be the problem? [17:44] kaylee: Is it possible that the app you are trying to build from source has alredy been packaged in the software center? [17:44] I guess my main question is ... is that a retard option that's going to fubar stuff? [17:44] or is it just something that probably won't work? [17:44] talas: driver issue maybe? see if dmesg has any info when you are pluging it in [17:45] histo: not that I've found, but probably ought to doublecheck [17:45] kaylee: what app is it? [17:45] jmtpfs [17:45] trying to get my new android phone to mount [17:45] MTP [17:46] marcus___: "Turbo Core kicks in when 3 or more cores (on a 6-core part) are idle. When this happens, the frequency of those three cores is reduced to 800MHz, the voltage to the entire chip is increased, and the remaining three cores are turboed up by as much as 500MHz. It doesn’t get any more granular than this. If you have 3 or more cores idle, then the remaining turbo up. In any other situation the CPU runs at its normal clocks." [17:46] thought that wes in 12.04 [17:46] kaylee: most android phones get mounted when they are plugged in [17:46] marcus___: see http://www.anandtech.com/show/3641/amd-divulges-phenom-ii-x6-secrets-turbo-core-enabled [17:46] histo: yes, theres some error like "device descriptor read/64, error -32" and "unable to enumerate USB device on port X".. thanks [17:47] histo: yeah, I tried that first ;) [17:47] anyone help me downgrade packages updated from latest 24 hours?

Now I have to head off to an appointment. I suppose I'll check in here again sometime later in the day. Many thanks for your efforts. [17:57] morning: OK ... I'll keep looking [17:57] morning: one last thing... [17:57] Yes. [17:57] Every so often my HDMI audio makes a screetching noise whilst playing music or sounds [17:57] It's a very electronic screech, almost like an 8bit sound, and it's intermittent :( [17:57] It's an Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) [17:57] morning: ... does bluetooth work and wifi not work? ... in other words, is the hardware rfkill switch doing something [17:57] I have not installed any drivers, do I need to? [17:58] ah! see? this is what I get for not reading all the way [17:58] where are all places i can set up DNS server? [17:58] support for the S3 is in git, but not released yet [17:58] i think it went down on my ubuntu server [17:58] No matter what audio software I use, it happens :( [17:58] TJ-: I think it's been hit and miss. Bluetooth has *sometimes* worked. But I've rfkill'ed so many times now, I've lost track. [17:59] Dr_Willis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h41yVOS6fao [17:59] TJ-: It *has* been doing something because it has sometimes changed the state of hardblocked or softblocked. [17:59] i'm using ubuntu server as router and at other comps everything works, but ubuntu server itself cant resolve names [17:59] morning: The reason I ask is this... on my laptop the hardware switch developed a fault where it would turn off randomly... I had to eventually open the laptop and compress the physcial switch body... what had happened was the switch terminals were no longer making firm contact they'd become loose from wearing [18:00] TJ: I suppose it still could be a physical problem. . . [18:00] morning: I couldn't see any difference physically but since then its been entirely reliable [18:00] morning:did you look if there isnt like a bios flash for this problem? [18:00] kaylee: so you'll have to install from git I recomend following the instructionis using checkinstall so you can easily remove it later [18:00] Could it be something to do with pulseaudio? [18:01] morning: Also, sometimes, the link between the plastic switch you press and the switch internally can wear or break away so you don't know its not moving the real switch [18:01] TJ-: I had such a problem on a previous machine. The switch would slide, but the little plastic flange inside broke off, so it didn't move the "real switch." [18:01] morning: yes... I think it is worth investigating [18:01] morning: let us know, either way :) [18:01] lotuspsychje: Where would I look for that? [18:02] TJ-: Well, I have an onsite warranty with Lenovo. So they'll come if I call them. [18:02] morning: Even better! [18:02] Yes. [18:03] morning:lenovo type? [18:03] lotuspsychje:4170 [18:04] morning:lemme take a look [18:04] lotuspsychje: Standing by. . . . [18:05] So I'm trying to get my HDMI port working on my laptop... but the system doesn't know when things are plugged into it. I've researced through Google and Ubuntu forms and found that I need to get nvidia-settings to handle it. [18:06] wonder why my raid5 has so freaking large io wait :( [18:06] nvidia-settings tells me that I'm not running the nvidia X driver and to run nvidia-xconfig, but nvidia-xconfig is not a thing. [18:06] Command not found. [18:07] Anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognise a midi keyboard? is there some configuration about this somewhere? It lists in lsusb.. [18:08] end_guy: You need to install the nvidia driver and enable it using System Settings > Hardware > Additional Drivers [18:09] TJ-: I have the binary installed from nvidia's website because System Settings > Hardware > Additional Drivers (aka jockey-gtk) showed nothing to be installed [18:10] end_guy: sounds like something has messed up. The nvidia drivers have to compile and install a kernel module to be able to control the hardware. [18:11] TJ-: So when I got the laptop it chose to use my Intel display drivers instead and I had to disable that in place for nvidia... it was a pain in the butt.

[18:12] morning:not sure if its gonna fix your prob, but worth a try for sure [18:13] lotuspsychje: For sure. I have to leave now. But thanks for your help, both you and TJ-. Best wishes.

You need a special package to manage switching between the chipset video (Intel) and the discrete video (nvidia) [18:16] TJ-, like.. ? [18:18] end_guy: The facility (low power internal video, high-power external video) is called optimus. [18:19] end_guy: there's a project called BumbleBee that deals with Optimus [18:19] TJ-: Right I have bumblbee-nvidia for that (at least that's the kind of package I think you're mentioning) [18:20] How well does Bumblebee work? I gave up on Ubuntu on my Alienware laptop a while back because the battery life was seriously short.

[18:21] MoTec: "A service runs and waits for users to ask for 3D accelerated graphics. When a user starts a program using the special command optirun, the service loads the Nvidia driver, starts an X server using the discrete graphics (with the display disconnected from the actual screen) and runs the specified program on that “background” X server. Then it copies the visuals from the program that is rendered using the discrete graphics to a window on the main X server. W [18:21] hen the program terminates, the service closes the secondary X server, removes the driver and powers down the graphics card – putting us back into the ~10 hours battery life." [18:21] delinquentme: Have you also checked the lists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory? [18:22] TJ-: Thanks.. It'd be nice if I could get the 10 hours or so of battery life I get in Windows with Ubuntu.. Might have to check it out again. [18:22] MoTec: It's down to Nvidia again... supporting Windows fully but not alternatives [18:22] TJ-: It'd be nice if I could force my machine to always use the nvidia driver... I don't care so much about battery life if I can just get the HDMI/nvidia settings to work [18:22] TJ-, the pastie is updated with the whole error message ...

Software Sources menu option [18:29] ok so im in "other software" ( tab ) and theres two of the same address [18:30] delinquentme: I'd suggest disabling the latter [18:30] one which has ( Source Control ) at the end [18:30] delinquentme: hang on... [18:30] delinquentme: I suspect "source control" means the source-code link (deb-src ...) there's usually one of those for each "deb" [18:31] delinquentme: just disable both of them in the Other sources, update, and test [18:31] hey guyz [18:31] Any idea how I can fix my min,max,close buttons?

[19:19] can memtest be run from system? [19:20] i think it's part of the ubuntu install yes. but then again if you're having hd issues it might also be corrupt [19:20] Guys, I'm having problems with install VMWare player in Ubuntu 12.04.

I've seen screenshots like this http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/linuxutil/desktopenv/?order=9#/d31mal5 in which the menus are all at the top of the screen, like on a mac. How do I get this? [19:39] hmm well see the file has a new line written to it every X seconds it's some custom log for some process and i'd like the date to print out as i'm tailing the file, not just be at the end of it [19:39] i'll look into that Pici sec [19:39] Pici: multitail is for multiple file monitoring? [19:39] you can [19:39] zykotick9: Yes, but it can do single files as well. It does multiple files better than using tail on many files at once.

I think the problem can be pulseaudio which introduces some lag to audio processing. Is there any way to safely uninstall pulseaudio from ubuntu 12.04 so it only uses ALSA or OSS ? Thank you ! [20:06] kyle__: " The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system."

[20:15] abec0: I think you should, but I'm not positive, 'buntu changes what's best practices all the time. [20:15] abec0: usermod -G audio -a abec0 [20:15] assuming your username is abec0.

[20:21] guntbert: Oh! yeah. [20:21] abec0: My suggestion is to always investigate the log files in "/var/log/" .. Start "Log file viewer" and start off looking at kern.log and syslog for clues [20:21] I did, I mean. [20:22] abec0: That's weird. If you have audio on login, and you're in that group, there is no way you should not get it. Did you log out and in ? Existing sessions don't get new permissions. [20:22] (even rebooted...) [20:22] (even turned off the machine, being a bit superstitius here...) [20:23] islandmonkey: I'd guess the Syntek since all the others are hubs. That info gives the device's ID 174f:1442 so we can find out which driver operates it [20:23] TJ-: I'll tail -f and grep pulse [20:24] islandmonkey: Try this: "lsusb -v -d 174f:1442" [20:24] abec0: Is the pulseaudio daemon running? "pgrep pulse" [20:25] TJ-: Yep. [20:25] I prefer ps aux|grep pulse, but anyway, it *is* running... [20:26] TJ-: I wouldn't think it'd be that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151391/ [20:26] abec0: Does pavucontrol show any output devices at all, or just dummy? [20:26] does anyone here happen to have any domains registered at enomcentral.com? [20:27] What's the easiest way to boot into linux on a Macbook Pro? I don't wanna install it, I just want to boot into it "live", and it needs to be native, not in a vm. [20:27] B0g4r7_: An actual physical CD burned from the +mac iso. [20:27] +mac iso huh. [20:27] Only dummy. But I do have info about logs... [20:27] Sounds like the ticket. [20:28] islandmonkey: That's a camera isn't it? [20:28] All I need to do is run badblocks really, heh. [20:28] TJ-: And this message repeats itself over and over again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151397/ [20:28] islandmonkey: So the reports aren't originating from a USB device [20:28] TJ-: No it's nothing to do with the webcam [20:29] I'll have to paste it. [20:29] islandmonkey: OK, that log was much more helpful, I understand now :) [20:29] OK [20:30] islandmonkey: can you pastebin for me "lspci -nn" [20:30] anyone know how to stop fullscreen flash videos from displaying on both monitors on a nvidia dual monitor set? [20:30] Playing them with something other than Flash might do it. I like VLC. [20:30] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151408/ [20:31] If it's youtube, you can uninstall flash, and it will fall back to an html5 player. [20:31] B0g4r7, I never had to do that before. this is something new [20:32] I had to get rid of flash myself. It kept crashing my whole system at random whenever it was active. [20:33] hej [20:33] B0g4r7_: You dont' have to opt-into the HTML5 beta anymore? [20:33] I didn't. [20:33] B0g4r7_: Neat. [20:33] It just worked (in chrome anyway). [20:34] well, Chromium. [20:34] yeah but what about other flash sites like vimeo [20:34] I dunno about them. They may not work. [20:34] is vimeo also flash? [20:34] yeah it is [20:34] hello [20:34] islandmonkey: From what I'm reading, what is happening is that a udev rule is firing to launch mtp-probe on some USB devices it ought not.. I'm digging into which rule we need to modify [20:34] To me, not having those is a small price to pay for a stable system. [20:34] paste.ubuntu.com/1151419 [20:34] how do i resize a partition in ubuntu? [20:35] do i /need/ a live cd? [20:35] Video Download Helper in firefox works without flash, it can snag the vimeo video down locally for you. [20:35] michelfp, I recommend gparted live for that task. [20:35] Heh, html5 on vimeo http://vimeo.com/blog/post:268 [20:36] Apache auth: this page says I can allow local net/pass auth external ( http://goo.gl/oyS6D ) second grey box , so I put this in my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default file: http://pastebin.com/7EMBxb9u but it DOES NOT behave as expected, is there another override somewhere else (doesn't work with AllowOverride none either) [20:36] B0g4r7, i try running it, it asks me to authenticate then nothing happens [20:36] I can't wait for the day when we are no longer afflicted with flash. [20:36] true, but flash hasnt made my system unstable... just cant watch videos fullscreen for some reason. I was able to do recently but something changed (and im not sure about when or what) to stop it from displaying fullscreen on only one monitor [20:36] I guess you're luckier than I was. Itr crashed me mercilessly. [20:37] B0g4r7, i try running it, it asks me to authenticate then nothing happens [20:37] vimeo is down [20:38] michelfp, You dowloaded gparted live, installed it onto a cd or a flash drive, booted from it, auth'd, and then nothing? [20:38] Help! Re-sizing windows is a pain! I only get like 1 pixel to grab the side of a window. Can I make this threshold greater? [20:39] abec0: Your problem is caused because "roaraudio" (roard) is installed. It is an alternative sound-server to Pulseaudio, and therefore Pulseaudio cannot get control of the hardware [20:39] B0g4r7, um i have to do that on live cd? [20:39] michelfp, you expected that you could resize partitions on the very system you are booted from? [20:39] i can do that on windows, why not on ubuntu D: [20:39] Hmm... [20:39] That would be nice. [20:40] ;-)) [20:40] also, B0g4r7 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151428/ [20:40] this is the message [20:40] apt-get remove --purge'ing now.

I thought that was aptitude only. [20:41] islandmonkey: the rule I'm looking at is "/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules" [20:41] It took about 4 hours and I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my mothers Macbook succesfully! [20:42] Why do I get kicked when joining #ubuntu-ppc ? :) [20:42] TJ-: OK. Not sure what a udev rule is but meh. [20:42] islandmonkey: Very end of the file; line after "# Autoprobe vendor-specific, communication and PTP devices" is the culprit [20:42] would anybody be willing to help setup tor via vidalia on my comp [20:43] YEAH (Caps intended) !! [20:43] islandmonkey: 'udev' is "user space device manager". When ever a hardware change occurs the kernel sends an event which udev listens to. It then passes that event through all its rules to find out how to configure that device for the user [20:43] TJ-: kyle__ guntbert : Thanks a lot! ;-) [20:43] abec0: Working? [20:43] Anyway, if I catch the dependency-freak that had me install both when I wanted neither... [20:44] TJ-: Yes I know what udev is just not what a udev rulee is/does [20:44] TJ-: Yep. [20:44] As a charm. [20:44] As it shoulld. [20:44] abec0: cool... congrats :) [20:44] Zero line of log. Just working. [20:44] islandmonkey: OK ... sorry. The rule specifies conditions that must be matched in order to do something [20:44] But I'll remove the very last line of that and I'll see what happens [20:44] OK, according to here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup ConsoleKit should change the ownership of /dev/snd on login. [20:44] islandmonkey: in this case conditions are being matched for devices that aren't mtp which cause mtp-probe to run against that device [20:45] TJ-: Thanks again!! ;-) [20:45] abec0: So what was it? [20:45] islandmonkey: no, don't do that! I'm figuring out a change to tighten it up! [20:45] TJ-: Oh sorry. I'm lost what you mean by mtp as well [20:45] kyle__: 't'was sudo apt-get remove --purge roaraudio that did it. [20:46] can some 1 help? building free computers free the needy and i am running across a lot of computers that have SoundMax Audio Device soundcards, no sound under ubuntu or kubuntu [20:46] abec0: Ahhh ha! [20:46] does anyone know if the hdmi audo is supported on the gt2xx? [20:46] audio* [20:46] i know it is for the radeon [20:46] BTW apt-get purge does exist ;-). [20:47] islandmonkey: mtp-probe is the Media Transfer Protocol ... some devices conforming to the MTP specs can be handled by a generic driver in the OS. MTP is commonly used in cameras for transferring images easily [20:47] gillie-monster, yeah but they are completely different drivers ;p [20:47] is there any reason my software raid array would stop working if i swapped the ports the devices are on? [20:47] In terms of licensing and Ubuntu's application policies, would forking an open source project hosted on Launchpad or Github and using parts of the code from those projects in an application submitted to the Application Review Board (ARB) for possible submission into the official Ubuntu Software Center repos be allowed? [20:47] and, for that matter, if that were the issue why the OS would fail to load despite not being on the RAID array? [20:48] islandmonkey: I see the exact reason now... just got to check my maths [20:48] TriBeCa99: Depends on how it's configured, but generally no, modern mdadm uses the device's hardware id. [20:49] KPG: I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be. [20:49] kyle__ that's what i thought [20:49] islandmonkey: I'll explain so you can follow. When you did that "lsusb -v -d 174f:1442" it reported amongst other things "bDeviceClass 239 Miscellaneous Device" [20:49] how to unnistall driver keyboard on my lap ? [20:49] TriBeCa99: And whether or not the OS loads on a raid failure is depenendt on the init and it's settings. Ubuntu is supposed to let you configure it to boot even on raid failure, but I've got some systems that ignore that and hang on raid figure. [20:49] any chance i borked my install by starting a "rescue" operation off of the ubuntu install cd and not finishing it? [20:49] (the raid is for /home, so it shoulnd't matter) [20:50] 10.10 alternate, i should say [20:50] yes, the raid is for /home [20:50] TJ-: YYes, so there were other devices [20:50] but my BIOS hangs at "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." [20:50] TriBeCa99: You can try dpkg-reconfigure mdadm [20:50] islandmonkey: Now, 239 decimal is 0xEF in hexadecimal (base 16)... look in that udev rule and you'll see one of the matching conditions is "ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="00|02|06|ef|ff"" .. note the "ef" as one of 5 options that can match. [20:50] You;ll need grub to be aware of the raid, and install into the mbr on all possible boot devices. [20:50] kyle__ I can't get into ubuntu at all [20:50] TriBeCa99: Ooh. That has nothing to do with linux then. Make sure your bios is set to allow the right drive to boot. [20:50] islandmonkey: So that is why that rule is starting mtp-probe [20:51] kyle__ it is [20:51] I think it's a grub/bootloader issue. [20:51] * kyle__ thinks B0g4r7_ is right. [20:51] islandmonkey: I suggest you do "gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules" and simply delete "|ef" from that text and save the rule [20:51] so basically what happened is I started fiddling with drives, then plugged everything back in [20:51] so you guys think GRUB got confused? [20:51] Jordan_U: Does the Novelty section in the Ubuntu App Showdown Rules: http://developer.ubuntu.com/showdown/rules/ only apply to applications developed for the App Showdown? [20:52] the BIOS definitely knows which drive to boot first [20:52] islandmonkey: so that part will read ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="00|02|06|ff" [20:52] You might download Super Grub Disc or something similar and see if it can get you going again. [20:52] I need to put some DS games on an SDcard, but each removable drive I put in (SD card and a USB stick) is read-only. The part that makes me pissed off is that it is read-only ONLY on this computer. How do I make it so that it can write to the SDcard? [20:53] TriBeCa99: any chance you plugged the drives back into different connectors (thus changing the order that the BIOS discovers them) ? [20:53] TJ-: Wow! My SD card just got magically detected [20:53] Nvm about everything [20:53] But still... [20:53] !cookie | TJ- [20:53] TJ-: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:53] islandmonkey: SD card? [20:53] TJ- yes, absolutely, but I keep changing the boot order to put the right drive back on top [20:53] the other 4 drives are all part of the RAID [20:53] TriBeCa99: Hmmm! [20:53] Yes it was an SD card [20:54] islandmonkey: OK... so has that change fixed the problem entirely or left us with another one? [20:54] TriBeCa99: md-raid? [20:54] yeah [20:54] the sata controller itself is in ide mode [20:54] TriBeCa99: Is the boot partition on the raid array? [20:55] no [20:55] TJ-: I dunno I haven't tried it out because my SD card is working now [20:55] Somehow [20:55] everthing but /home is on the SSD [20:55] which is the top drive in the BIOS [20:55] islandmonkey: I think mtp-probe was causing constant resets of the hardware which caused udev to constantly fire mtp-probe which started the loop again! [20:56] TriBeCa99: Does any part of GRUB get loaded by BIOS? [20:56] doesn't look that way [20:56] TriBeCa99: You've tried holding down SHIFT as soon as BIOS POSTs? [20:56] will do that now [20:56] Fsck. firefox is being really falkey with java today :/ [20:57] But I'll remove the culprit line anyway [20:57] Does anyone know why Pidgin has not been working or connecting lately? [20:57] okay now i have a "boot: " prompt [20:57] oh haha i had a CD in [20:57] @Tony_Stark [20:57] I think it's a problem with libnotify [20:58] Jack_Evans: Is that caused by an update? [20:58] I am not sure [20:58] Help, I have an SD card that is read-only only on this computer. I have to put some files on the card that are only on this computer, so how do I fix this? [20:58] wtf?! alsa is not turned down or muted. why do none of these comps have sound? [20:58] Is there a switch making it read only? [20:58] * TJ- spanks TriBeCa99 ! [20:58] nothing [20:58] A physical switch on the card? [20:59] i only get anything with an install cd in [20:59] Brady, I fell for that the other day but I have flipped that switch in every dimension and its still not working. [20:59] TriBeCa99: Which suggests that originally you managed to write GRUBs boot loader to one of the RAID drives [20:59] Then it is probably mounted in a read only mode. [20:59] Brady: SD cards? There can be, but A) not all cards have them, and B) naughty software can override it easy. [20:59] TJ-: Wait no, it's still happening. [21:00] i couldfn't have [21:00] TriBeCa99: unfortunately its my dinner time now so I have to go... but hopefully I've given you a clue. [21:00] kyle__, figured that was the first question to ask though [21:00] Brady, so how do I mount it in a non-read-only mode? [21:00] TJ- i have to go too, but i didn't set up that RAID until after installing ubuntu [21:00] islandmonkey: You'll probably have to try a restart to stop udev using that rule cached in its memory [21:00] -rw [21:00] hihi [21:00] someone help. [21:00] djskidd, unfortunately I'm not sure. Someone else might be able to help [21:00] i have a raid1 disk [21:00] and-- [21:00] MichelFP: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:00] :| [21:00] TJ-: OK, I'll come back and tell you the results [21:01] TriBeCa99: Hmmm! OK, from a liveCD get to a terminal and check what's in the boot sector of the SSD with "sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C | less" ... you should see the GRUB text strings at least [21:01] MichelFP: Keep things on one line [21:01] i have a raid disk, and i resized my windows partition down in 200 gb and add that to ubuntu; but it seems that i'm not able to allocated that free space into ubuntu [21:01] and i'm using gparted in the live CD [21:02] TJ- will do, thanks [21:02] does anyone see any issues with running ubuntu on this ASUS setup: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883220155 [21:02] do only one operation n apply each time [21:02] and, for some reason, all my partitions are displayed as /dev/mapper/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [21:02] don't know why. [21:02] gillie-monster, do i run that in terminal? [21:02] MichelFP: Which hardware raid controller is it? [21:02] Any consolekit gurus who can help me figure out why a network user isn't being assigned rights to the audio device? [21:02] sometimes i have crashes on livecd installs where i queue a bunch of operations [21:03] bekks: i don't really know [21:03] how can i tell? [21:03] dlete the partition, click apply, create new, set size, click apply n so on [21:03] does anybody know what a 'exit code 127' is in vidalia? === fxhp-idle is now known as fxhp [21:04] correction... does anyone see any issues with running ubuntu on this ASUS setup: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220155 [21:04] MichelFP: You'd know when you'd have hardware raid controller. Most likely it is a software raid controller, and in that case, you simply cant setup a dualboot which actually works, since the "raid" is only visible from within windows. [21:04] kyle__: assuming ubuntu uses the same groups (they might not) - verify the user is in both video and audio groups. [21:04] bekks: i can dual boot [21:05] MichelFP: But you cant use that "raid" from within Ubuntu. [21:05] what do i do then [21:05] ? [21:05] zykotick9: user is in neither, but can login fine. According to the 'buntu wiki, console kit is supposed to change the group ownership of /dev/snd/* according to who's logged in. [21:05] MichelFP: Forget about windows driven software raid, and re-setup your box. [21:05] zykotick9: I could just fix /dev/snd* to be world writable, but that seems an ugly way. [21:05] kyle__: well add the user to the audio group for sure [21:06] bekks: box? >_> [21:06] bekks: Depends; if its dmraid (aka Promise fakeraid) you can for much of the Promise controllers [21:06] ubuntu novice here [21:06] computer [21:06] zykotick9: The groups for this user are all on LDAP. I don't knwo what happens in the event of conflicting groups. [21:06] MichelFP: "computer". [21:06] oh right. [21:06] TJ-: You don't need to guess what happened :P [21:06] and what do you mean by re-setup? [21:06] TJ-: Windows doesnt know anything about dmraid :9 [21:06] kyle__: LDAP is out of my comfort zone. good luck. [21:07] MichelFP: Reinstall, without any form of software raid. [21:07] zykotick9: NP :) It was either LDAP or WINS authentication. And you can imagine how much fun WINS would be. [21:07] how do I set this SD card to non-read-only? [21:07] ._.? [21:07] how. [21:07] <- noticing Win7 n 8 are barrowing from linux [21:07] bekks: It doesn't need to! dmraid is the Linux answer to the Promise raid drivers in Windows. dmraid knows how to read the Promise disk labels [21:07] wait. [21:07] i think my RAID is hardware [21:07] TJ- what am i looking for exactly? [21:07] because I have two 500gb hard disks. [21:07] that form a 1tb one [21:08] TJ-: We are talking about WINDOWS SOFTWARE raid - not hardware raid :) [21:08] thats not raid1 [21:08] TJ-: Thanks again. I'm calling it a night. [21:08] MichelFP: Thats a RAID0, not a RAID1, as you assumed earlier. [21:08] OH [21:08] sorry [21:08] >.> [21:08] MichelFP: And a windows driven raid0 is totally unusable in linux. [21:08] do you mean i cannot use linux [21:08] check ur bios settings [21:09] bekks: Precisely. fakeraid is software raid is what Promise RAID controllers do... and it requires the Promise raid drivers to work... which in Linux is handled by dmraid. I have systems that use it, I've had long experience with it. [21:09] I get windows chatting to me about "raid" too. Never happens when I boot into ubuntu [21:09] MichelFP: No. [21:09] * zykotick9 RAID0 the NON-RAID... [21:09] abec0 good night [21:09] i just want a straight-forward answer >.> [21:09] can anyone help? i am in the live cd of ubuntu and i think the install just froze or stopped [21:09] MichelFP: A general rule is, if it's software-driven Raid or LVM, it will only work in one OS. [21:09] MichelFP: I gave you a pretty precise answer :) [21:09] pitchersduel, how long have you been waiting? [21:09] kyle__: right [21:09] MichelFP: If you want to use it in multiple, put it on it's own box, running linux, and share it as SMB and NFS :) [21:10] TJ- what am i looking for in the text that appears? [21:10] umm prob 10 minutes if not more [21:10] <^Mike> When should we expect 12.04.1? [21:10] MichelFP: you were in here yesterday but you never answered any of my questions :P [21:10] i dont know what board is in that asus, but iv used kubuntu successfully on similar configs [21:10] pitchersduel, the install can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours [21:10] * kyle__ has a garganturaid at home shared that way. [21:10] give it a while [21:10] TriBeCa99: Well first off ensure you're reading the SSD (I said sda but you know best)... second, look for any occurances of "GRUB" or similar that tell you GRUB must have written that sector to disk [21:10] yes it's sda, i check with fdisk [21:11] i don't see grub anywhere [21:11] wow really? i mean its towards the end...it was moving along pretty nicely [21:11] i don't see any words at all [21:11] near the end it can slow down a little [21:11] TJ-: The windows software raid has nothing to do with the promise raid drivers :) [21:11] patience is a true virtue while installing another OS [21:11] TriBeCa99: Here's mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151478/ [21:11] mount /dev/sdx -rw [21:12] gillie-monster: wrong :) [21:12] TJ-: Yeah so my SD card isn't being detected again [21:12] bekks: if this is any relevant, look at this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/59319743/Capturar.PNG [21:12] islandmonkey: is the log seeing those messages too? [21:12] does anyone know how to mount an SD card as able to read and write any file? [21:12] yeah... mine doesn't say GRUB [21:12] soooo. GRUB was on the RAID partition [21:13] djskidd: depends on the fs of the sd card and what device is it.. [21:13] how the heck do i get it back? [21:13] TriBeCa99: So, if you are reading the SSD... then you didn't grub-install to it originally, or if you did, you've done something to wipe it! [21:13] bekks: did you see that? [21:13] TJ-: Just coming up with the same messages that were coming up last time [21:13] Dr_Willis, the filesystem is FAT32 [21:13] islandmonkey: And this is after you saved that udev rules file? [21:13] what's a optimal chunk size for a 3*2tb raid5 mdadm raid array running lvm ontop ? [21:13] TriBeCa99: We write it from the liveCD [21:13] TJ-: Yes [21:13] MichelFP: Then provide the output of sudo fdisk -l from linux [21:13] djskidd: you should be able to use the mount command then. and whatever options needed to allow permiussiosn to whatever users you want [21:14] islandmonkey: It sounds weird... give me a few minutes to ponder it! [21:14] bekks: ok [21:14] Not strictly relevant to ubuntu but can i use --parallel and --use-pget at the same time with lftp? [21:14] bekks: i'll be right back [21:14] TJ-: OK [21:14] how can i check mhz of my ram via terminal? [21:14] Dr_Willis sorry I'm a bit of a newbie to Terminal, how do I use the mount command? [21:14] TJ- great! how do I write it from the LiveCD? [21:14] lauratika: Maybe dmidecode show it. [21:14] !mount | djskidd [21:14] djskidd: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [21:15] TriBeCa99: quite easily... if I can remember the obscure grub-setup sequence to do it! [21:15] :p [21:15] bekks, what was the command again? [21:15] fdisk -l? [21:16] nope [21:16] any one have experience with sound issues? [21:17] does this seem right? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [21:17] TriBeCa99: read up on this, it tells you the steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System [21:18] TriBeCa99: What you need to do is get everything mounted and the parameters correct for using grub-install === Mike_ is now known as Guest35579 [21:19] TriBeCa99: You need to follow steps 1-6 of "Reinstall from the LiveCD" [21:19] working on it === Masduq573 is now known as Masduqe [21:20] TJ-: oh how i miss the chroot instructions from the old !grub2 wiki link... :(.. [21:20] TriBeCa99: take your time... especially when you mount to /mnt/ do a check for /mnt/boot/ and make sure you see the ubuntu kernels and config files there [21:20] okay, I know how to mount, now how do I mount it with all the permissions? [21:20] zykotick9: I know... in these cases I'm always tempted to just dd my saved boot-sector (384 bytes) [21:21] the -rw switch [21:21] !mount /dev/sd"x" -rw [21:21] gillie-monster: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:22] :C [21:22] / join#valencia [21:22] bekks, for some reason my ubuntu isn't installed on /dev/sda [21:22] installation finished, no error reported [21:22] it's installed on /dev/mapper [21:22] so now i reboot without the live CD and pray? [21:23] TriBeCa99: do that test I showed you again to be sure its there [21:23] djskidd: or see examples fat15/fat32 here --> but thats a fstab entry. but the options are the same [21:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [21:23] someone help. my ubuntu is installed on /dev/mapper. [21:23] yeah it's there [21:23] not on /dev/sda. [21:23] sda is ur first hard drive [21:23] i said [21:24] i don't have an sda, only dev/mapper [21:24] islandmonkey: how you getting on? [21:24] what does the app section mean? Launching Vidalia from: /usr/sbin [21:24] /usr/sbin/start-tor-browser: 218: ./App/vidalia: not found [21:24] how do I bring up more than 1 desktop in Pinguy OS with Gnome? [21:24] TriBeCa99: give it a go then [21:24] this will create a dir for the sd card (you need to determin what number it is) [21:24] TJ-: Still not being detected [21:24] Q: how to i force pppd to allways use ppp0 for my inet connection? [21:25] islandmonkey: is the log still being filled with messages? [21:25] to = do [21:25] TJ-: Still not being detected [21:25] Whoops [21:25] nvm [21:25] TJ-: Yes. Still being flooded [21:25] islandmonkey: do this "sudo modprobe -r ums_realtek" [21:26] paul__: pinguy os isn't supported here [21:26] any idea whereI can go? [21:26] sorry. uninstalling ubuntu [21:26] raid0 has brought me too much trouble [21:26] I thought it was ubuntu [21:26] <|johnny|> I wanted to ask you guys if some glitches with Unity have been fixed. I stopped using Unity a while ago because there were glitches like when I would close an app, the app would just disappear and not minimize correctly. [21:26] that i can't be arsed enough to fix it [21:27] wooooooo it booted [21:27] tytyty TJ- [21:27] michelfp : ubuntu server on a raid0 with LVM.. works just fine [21:27] michelfp: sounds like, unfortunately, its Windows non-standard stuff causing the issues [21:27] <|johnny|> I have used LUbuntu for the past 2 distros that came out but would it be ok to switch back to Unity if I wanted to try it out? [21:27] and the RAID is working [21:27] TriBeCa99: well done :) [21:27] okay so here's my next question [21:27] michelfp: Seriously, raid0 is not a good thing to use. Way too dangerous IMO. Drives die. [21:27] |johnny|: try it and see.. ive not any issues with it. [21:27] TriBeCa99: uhoh [21:27] socorro [21:27] I need to upgrade the disks on the RAID10 [21:27] ajuda [21:28] which are currently mounted to /home [21:28] whooops... raid0 ...no i mean raid1 [21:28] alguem pode me ajudar [21:28] I have 6 SATA ports [21:28] adrianodasilvapr, ingles [21:28] kyle__: agreed... with 2 drives, RAID 1 mirrors is the way to go [21:28] michelfp: im going to stab you :P i already told you that /dev/mapper means that it was built on lvm or dm-raid [21:28] michelfp: If you have 4+ drives, raid5, or better yet raid6. Well supported in linux and ubuntu, pretty fast, very safe. [21:28] <|johnny|> Dr_Willis, ok I guess I'll give it a shot. :) If I have any issues I'll be back. [21:28] TJ-: nvm, I need some sleep. [21:28] brasileiros [21:28] TJ-: I've got raid6 on 4 2TB drives right now. I have another two or three to add in the mix, haven't yet. [21:29] islandmonkey: There's a simple perm fix I can give you [21:29] It still ain't working BTW [21:29] TJ-: It's kindof neat knowing I can loose any two drives, and not loose any data. [21:29] Q: how do i force pppd to allways use ppp0 for my inet connection? [21:29] So what is the cleanest way to do this? I'm thinking maybe pull 2 of the old RAID disks out and put 2 new ones in. Create a degraded array on the new disks, remount /home on them, then pull the old disks and put the new ones in and rebuild? [21:29] TJ-: Yes what's that [21:29] gah, this is not working [21:29] I think that I am doing something wrong for sure. [21:30] I need help [21:31] islandmonkey: OK... the SD-car dnot working will be caused by that change you made to the udev file. I'd suggest 1) undoing that change (add back "|ef") and 2) blacklisting the ums_realtek driver permanently by doing echo "blacklist ums_realtek" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ums_realtek.conf [21:31] adrianodasilvapr: with what? [21:31] !ask > adrianodasilvapr [21:31] adrianodasilvapr, please see my private message [21:32] TJ- any other suggestions? I'm going to do this tomorrow but I want to come in with the right plan. [21:32] was installing the terminal sudo openoffice and energy fell [21:32] islandmonkey: after a restart the messages will stop and udev will go back to mounting the SD-Card [21:32] with the gnome desktop, I could add/install new desktop menu items in /usr/share/applications/[program].desktop. Is there an equivalent with the 12.04 (unity?) desktop [21:32] TJ-: OK I shall do that tmrw [21:32] TriBeCa99: That sounds like a good idea... just make sure *before* you go the degraded-array route... [21:33] TriBeCa99: ... that you boot in recovery mode (root user) and comment out the /home mount from /etc/fstab temporarily, because Ubuntu has a *problem* booting with degraded arrays [21:33] for instance, I need to install an app for standardized student testing and it just needs a launcher. I can make that launcher on MY desktop, but how the f* do I make it a launcher that everyone has? [21:33] TriBeCa99: Once the array is successfully rebuilt on the new drives, re-enable /home [21:34] For the love of god. [21:34] just screenshotted that, i'll start with that tomorrow [21:34] was installing openoffice sudo and just by the power before you finish installing now when I try again the error. [21:34] so ubuntu won't boot with two drives missing? [21:34] I use the mount command, and it says its already mounted. I unmount it, then suddenly the SD card doesn't exist anymore. [21:35] TriBeCa99: so whilst /home is not mounted ensure you always start to recovery mode root user (or manually edit the kernel command-line in GRUB to add "single" to get a root single-user shell [21:35] *pissed* === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial [21:35] TriBeCa99: There's a kernel problem with rebuilding degraded disks that boot relies upon... if mdadm gets a failed array message things get stuck [21:36] okay so i'll have to build the new degraded array from recovery mode? [21:36] TriBeCa99: Yes... or as I said, by editing the kernel command-line to use "single" [21:36] TriBeCa99: there is a better way of course [21:36] i'm all ears [21:37] Please?? someone? how do i force pppd to allways use ppp0 for my inet connection? [21:37] TriBeCa99: because the drives haven't failed... remove one drive from the array at a time using mdadm so the array has fewer members but is always a good array, swap drives, add the new drive to the array using mdadm and so on [21:38] TriBeCa99: Basically, if you can avoid creating a failed array you'll be better off [21:38] Ok how about this: none of the students have returned since I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, so is there a skel location I can drop a launcher to a custom app? [21:38] okay, i think i see... [21:38] so it's okay if the array is degraded, just not failed [21:39] couldn't i remove two at first? [21:39] TriBeCa99: is it a mirror or something else? [21:39] it's RAID10 [21:39] so there's two mirrored pairs [21:40] TriBeCa99: whatever RAID level is... you can only remove drives to take it down to the minimum required for that level, if you want to avoid a degraded RAID boot hang [21:40] yeah, 4 is minimum [21:40] there's no possible way to get 2 drives into my systems without degrading the array down to 2 drives [21:41] TriBeCa99: However if you've got those extra SATA ports... you could connect 2 new drives (assuming you have 2 ports free?) and add then to the mirrors, build, then take out the old disks... rinse and repeat [21:41] i have 1 port free.. port 6 has the SSD we just put GRUB on [21:41] TriBeCa99: Grrr! [21:41] yeah. so i'm going to have to use rescue mode as you said [21:41] TriBeCa99: If you booted from the liveCD you could use two SATA ports :p [21:42] but wouldn't the rest of the ubuntu install on the SSD be needed? [21:42] TriBeCa99: that way they wouldn't be anything to do with /home/ as far as the running environment was concerned [21:43] TriBeCa99: no... all the mdadm tools are available from the liveCD or can be apt-get install-ed into the running session (assuming liveCD has network) [21:43] hmmm, i have to run [21:43] TriBeCa99: good luck, whatever you do :) [21:43] TJ- that's what I started with! but sudo apt-get install mdadm [21:43] decided to install postfix [21:43] and i couldn't get out of the first postfix config screen [21:44] it loaded a sort of old-school GUI in the terminal, and i could only scroll up and down but couldn't find a way to quit out or do anything [21:44] maybe i just need a newer liveCD than 10.10? [21:45] Screw this, I'm just uploading the ROMs to Dropbox. I'll put them on the SD card on my Windows machine. [21:46] ahh well i seriously need to go, i'll fiddle with it tomorrow. thanks again for your help [21:46] TriBeCa99: goodnight :) [21:46] TriBeCa99: 12.04 would be good :p [21:46] oh wait, my wife just texted--she got home and relieved the sitter so i don't have to === jcrza_ is now known as jcrza [21:47] so 12.04 liveCD even though the machine is sitll 10.10?

[supported]") [21:54] ive had nothing but headaches trying to ugrade distros. [21:54] TriBeCa99: No, "apt-get upgrade" does not do major release upgrades.

This is not a mixer issue, i have no power going to the speakers [21:58] and now "about ubuntu" claims i have 11.04 [21:59] TriBeCa99: Are you sure that you didn't already have Ubuntu 11.04?

[22:18] I can go into the console and type 'startx' but then it crashes and says "Cannot create listener. Server already running" [22:18] meoblast001: The encryption password is actually a long key. It's encrypted on the drive using your personal password. [22:18] THen it fails with a fatal error cause it says something about no sockets [22:19] meoblast001: Do you have an encrypted /home partition, or an encrypted home directory? (The latter is what is offered in the standard Desktop install CD) === fxhp is now known as fxhp-idle [22:19] Jordan_U: encrypted home directory then [22:19] Jordan_U: i can't unencrypt my home directory [22:19] kinda sucks [22:20] meoblast001: Then simply change your user password, and the encryption key for your home directory will automatically be re-encrypted with the new password. [22:20] ok, that's good === fpoesc is now known as Guest90661 [22:20] now maybe this is out of the realm of this channel, but if i install Debian and set it up with this home directory, will it be able to function with it?

Are you just following best practices about frequently changing passwords or did somethng get compromised? [22:21] Hey guys here is the X11 log: http://pastebin.com/TnL9Mu7i [22:21] Jordan_U: well, i was afraid it might be some autogenerated one, then when i try to set up Debian, i hit a deadend [22:21] That is the entire contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:21] THis is what it says when I type startx [22:21] You see it is only a few lines, yet I don't know how to fix that error! [22:21] meoblast001: Debian can use ecryptfs, but I would be surprised if it worked without a lot of manual configuration. [22:22] meoblast001: Try asking in #debian and #ecryptfs. [22:22] ah, ok.. dang [22:22] i'll do that. thanks [22:22] meoblast001: I could be wrong about it not being automagic :) [22:22] lol, #encryptfs is magic [22:22] i have a bcm4311 broadcom card how do i install and actrivate the driver for it [22:22] i have a bcm4311 broadcom card how do i install and actrivate the driver for it [22:22] i have a bcm4311 broadcom card how do i install and actrivate the driver for it [22:22] harris: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I will report back and let you know if it worked [22:25] kirkland: Thanks. meoblast001: See kirkland's comment, it's #ecryptfs on irc.oftc.net (not here on freenode). [22:25] ok. thanks [22:27] I had this issue, because I upgraded and chose to keep my old sudoers file. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/sudo-aptitude-problem-905784/ Is there some documentation on why the Defaults secure_path is now defined in the sudoers file in 12.04?

[22:57] plugwash: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [22:57] Humm. On a different note, I thought unity-2d was gone, and now plain unity was supposed to work even without 3d accel? [22:57] hmm fieldrunners from the humble bundle shows up on the web site for the ubuntu software center, but not in the actual ubuntu software center itself. [22:57] kyle__: thats true in 12.10 [22:58] I can't print a picture and make it fit the frame [22:58] there is a bug [22:58] Dr_Willis: Ahh ha. I thought that was for 12.04.

[22:58] kyle__: thats the plan [22:58] lol i got tor workin :) :) [22:59] thers no fallback - it just uses some extra thing to get compiz to work in 2d [22:59] TJ-, at that url I only see CD downloads and afaict ubuntu doesn't do source releases [22:59] I don't have any pretty words for it I'm afraid: Banshee sounds like feces coming out of a buttocks all the sudden, where all other applications still sound allright.

[23:02] WeThePeople, k3b and brasero [23:02] can you help me though [23:03] or how much is it to buy a new card [23:03] * jagginess says to use google:"List of software site:wikipedia.org" [23:03] lol [23:03] wireless usb dongle with Plug and play ubuntu support = $8 on amazon the other day. [23:04] Wireless Gizmo that plugs into the Ethernet port and works as a wifi conector. no drivers needed. = $40 at best buy. :) (made for tv's and blue ray players and Game Machines) [23:05] plugwash: the repos are accessible on these https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-gnome-en-base [23:05] hey guys [23:05] i need the old b43 driver [23:05] One issue with Broadcom seems to be the cards can use several differnt drivers, 'STA' "B43' and other Variants. [23:05] i am b4311 [23:06] TJ-, thanks, i'd rather have the original source packages but I guess repacking them from a vcs is better than not having them at all [23:06] 2nd answer at that url gave how to remove the sta, and install the b43 driver.. === oakdog8 is now known as oakdog8__ [23:06] remove bcm driver in softtware center. install the firmware-b43-installer package. [23:07] or remove the sta driver.. depending on what one is causing teh issue it seems [23:08] plugwash: I don't see a release for 20120508 of that package; I see hints of that version for other languages releases via the -security pocket [23:08] this is to hard [23:09] linux is supposed to be easier than windows [23:09] TJ-, well google agrees that it existed but all the places it found it no longer have it [23:09] harris, it will be when more companies start adopting it [23:10] harris, maybe you could buy a laptop/desktop with linux pre-installed [23:10] harris: for your distro is there a package called b43-cutter? [23:10] harris: remind me to tell of you of the time i had to reinstall windows to get .net working..... [23:10] harris: Only if the hardware manufacturers provide drivers like they do for Windows. Broadcom have a terrible reputation for providing technical details to allow open-source drivers to be written for their hardware, which is why you are suffering with that BCM4311 [23:10] plugwash: I'll find it for you [23:10] Broadcom = about the worse wifi maker out there for linux support.. [23:11] If theres a worse one.. I dont know of it.. [23:11] TJ-, can i buy a new card [23:11] harris: another option, include the headers for your kernel just in case the kernel does not support your wifi [23:11] Can you buy a new card? You tell us.. cards can be bought yes.. [23:11] for how much [23:12] Dr_Willis: When it works, it's great. When they don't, they're a nightmare. Also, their bluetooth options are pretty solid. [23:12] harris: i mentioned earlier seeing dongles for as low as $8 other gizmos up to $40, most likely some wifi cards are more... [23:12] plugwash: I see it here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-gnome-en-base/+publishinghistory and if you expand the triangle against 2012-08-03 you'll see it was removed from disk as superseded on August 10th [23:12] plugwash: that makes me think it'll be on one of the mirror servers [23:13] what kind should i buy for hp pavilion dv6000 and how do i put it in [23:13] harris: usb dongle plugs right into the usb port... [23:13] no the actual card [23:14] harris: flip laptop over.. remove bay cover.. unplug card.. plug in new.. [23:14] will anyone work [23:14] no idea.. [23:14] I've made progress on my RAID1. bootinfoscript reports that one drive has Boot files /efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi and the other has /grub/grub.cfg. Anyone know if that's why one won't boot and how to change it? [23:15] TJ-, finally THANK YOU [23:15] that publishing history page has a download link for it! === TheOne is now known as Guest34519 [23:16] plugwash: Yes... I forgot to scroll down LOL [23:17] i hate linux!!!!!!!!!!! [23:17] nothing is working [23:17] !ops harris trolling [23:17] jagginess: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:17] you just rant. that's all you do harris. [23:18] harris: Rather like a car... if it won't run on your preferred fuel... try other fuel or get another make/model [23:18] your a jerk jagginess i am only a kid [23:18] Belkin N150 Micro Wireless USB Adapter $13 - Hmm.. Gonna have to see how well that is supported in Linux. [23:18] i guess i have that.. [23:18] harris: act more like an adult and you will get better help. [23:18] harris everything works if you think === Guest34519 is now known as ArrowToTheKnee [23:19] no CookieM not my wifi [23:19] Most laptop internal wifi cards use a standard mini-PCI connector so you can simply plug in a replacement Wifi unit. The antenna connectors are standard [23:19] and not a very bright one. [23:19] I wonder why L.Torvalds got 600,000 euros if linux really does suck. [23:19] harris: and tell us exactly what have you done to try to get your wifi going? what driver are you using now for it... what other ones have you tried... [23:20] harris before you buy any hardware check if it is compatible with linux [23:20] dr_willis there are no drivers installed [23:20] !rootirc > root_ [23:20] root_, please see my private message [23:20] Most of driver problems come from getting several versions mixed up due to the mass of contradictory tutorials [23:20] hi, i just installed ubuntu v12.04 on my early 2011 macbook pro and when I try to boot I get stuck at the penguin screen. i've let it sit for several minutes and it does not do anything. any advice? [23:20] harris: then you should try installing some.. [23:20] what one [23:21] cabotmoose: sit there fr hours :P [23:21] Evening [23:21] Doesn't jockey handle the BCM4311 ? [23:21] harris: from that url i pasted.. seems theres 3 to try.. bcmwl-kernel-source is the one installed by default. [23:21] varunpr97: lol really? [23:22] Is it possible to get banned from EFNet by simply testing several irc clients? [23:22] VriendP, #freenode . [23:22] VriendP: we have no idea about efnet here.. this is dalnet. [23:22] err. freenode. ;) [23:22] lol [23:22] eh? this is freenode! [23:22] ;P made you look TJ- ! [23:22] help needed wrt port forwarding my zyxel for ssh [23:22] I'm new here. In fact, I'm new everywhere :D [23:22] My apologies :) [23:22] Dr_Willis: made me think I'd just eaten 'funny' mushrooms :p [23:22] help needed wrt port forwarding my zyxel for ssh [23:23] TJ-: your milk has expired...

[23:23] outb 0x740 0 [23:23] mrdigital: You'll need to set up a port-forwarding rule on the router to forward public tcp port 22 to the IP address of your PC at port 22 [23:24] thanks i have done that already still does not work [23:24] mrdigital: How are you testing it? [23:24] harris: somthing to try --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/139168/dell-1390-wireless-bcm4311-ubuntu-12-04-no-wireless-icon-in-unity [23:24] nmap [23:24] mrdigital: you have openssh-server installed on the PC and listening on port 22? [23:24] yes [23:24] Dr_Willis, reading is hard. ;-) [23:24] Dr_Willis, freenode! [23:24] broadcom is the worst, get an alfa and be happy [23:24] i can connect locally but not from my public ip [23:25] jagginess: Luckly my IRC client talks to me.. [23:25] mrdigital: is it possible your router refuses to forward/or is listening on port 22? Try forwarding a different port number to port 22 internally... say public 2222 to internal 22 [23:25] mrdigital, use dyndns or somethin.. also it's possible your isp may be blocking 22, I know my isp blocks port 80 [23:25] i have tried everything the internet had to offer [23:25] TJ: it should work, i have it running on wrt-54gl [23:25] mrdigital: What's the exact make/model of router? [23:26] does anyone have b4311 [23:26] mrdigital: set your router to forward some high port. like 88822 to port 22 on the lan machine.. is also handy. [23:26] how do you differentiate/tell from internal/external port to the router as my zyxel router only asks for start and end ports [23:26] harris: have you actually Tried to do anything people have suggested? like ---> somthing to try --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/139168/dell-1390-wireless-bcm4311-ubuntu-12-04-no-wireless-icon-in-unity [23:26] Dr_Willis, noob. port# going go beyond 65536 [23:26] harris did you check out the factoid !bcm ? [23:26] Dr_Willis: you're not getting me a 2nd time... I *know* port 88822 doesn't exist! [23:26] (or 655535 somewhere around there) [23:26] yes done that too..i opened ports from 22 - 8000 [23:27] TJ-: :) ipv6 ports! ;p [23:27] they don't go beyond that #port [23:27] i did every you guys have said [23:27] Dr_Willis: can't get out of it that easily :D [23:27] last time i had to do this the code [23:27] was some modprobe [23:27] harris: but you said no drivers were installed.. so that sounds like you have done nothing... [23:27] harris: the 'history' command will show what commands you have used in the past. [23:27] mrdigital: What's the exact make/model of router? [23:27] the default one is in stalled [23:27] zyxel p660hw t1 v3 [23:27] i had to reinstall [23:28] mrdigital: maybe better ask the (dd?)wrt support? [23:28] dd? [23:28] !info bcmwl-kernel-source [23:28] bcmwl-kernel-source (source: bcmwl): Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source. In component restricted, is optional. Version 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6.1 (precise), package size 1174 kB, installed size 3176 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [23:28] mrdigital: you are configuring port-forwarding? Any router that does that has to accept an internal IP address to know where to forward to. The only way only-ports would work is if, in a separate config space, you set a server that is the default DMZ server [23:28] which log do I look for shutdown problems? (12.04LTS doesn't power off the machine, it stalls) [23:28] harris, re-installing won't fix your bcm. It's a manual intervention and I've helped people in the past on fixing it. You need the nerve to do it but you don't have it [23:29] mrdigital: didnt you mention wrt is running on your router? [23:29] bcmwl-kernel-source - uses the 'sta' driver. [23:29] no i had it fixed then i had to reinstall [23:29] do you mean that i cant check my public ip from the same machine? [23:29] This is when you keep notes ;) [23:29] or on the same lan? [23:30] mrdigital: You can't do loopback tests from inside the LAN. You have to test from outside [23:30] i have the default driver on and in the top network thing in unity wifi enable dosent show up [23:30] ah ok...maybe thats why @ TJ [23:30] mrdigital: It works... I'm on your SSH server now [23:30] mrdigital: ssh tj@host81-141-154-206.wlms-broadband.com [23:30] The authenticity of host 'host81-141-154-206.wlms-broadband.com (81.141.154.206)' can't be established.

[23:30] really?? thanks [23:30] harris: sounds like you need to follow the directions at -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/139168/dell-1390-wireless-bcm4311-ubuntu-12-04-no-wireless-icon-in-unity 3 commands to cut/paste into the shell.. in the grey box... [23:31] I am on my System76, which came with (think it's a loopback partition) the hard drive having a "/" (root) partition. Is there any way I can split this up into /home, /, swap, and /boot without losing/transfering/etc any data? [23:31] where do i paste them [23:31] why cant one test public ip loopback but we can do the private ip loopback? [23:31] 'into the shell' [23:31] !shell [23:31] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:32] mrdigital: because of how the network packets are routed internally in the kernel. [23:32] it says it is already installed [23:32] thanks by the way [23:32] harris: do you have a learning disability? [23:33] that is offensive [23:33] mrdigital: there's three main chains: INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD. You're wanting an INPUT on LAN to go to OUTPUT on WAN (which goes to your ISP) and then straight back in on INPUT WAN which can't be done [23:33] i dont understand computers [23:33] !polite [23:33] i am a kid [23:33] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:33] out of topic, but does anybody know what Transmission BitTorrent's irc channel? I tried transmissionbt but its empty [23:33] ah i see...I had that doubt but you cleared it out thanks [23:33] TJ-, are you saying tjat to me [23:34] cc11rocks, Not sure why you would want a boot partition it is not needed, and makes things more complex, here is a separate home to it partition, again not really needed except upon doing a upgrade. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [23:34] !alis | n1ckn4me09876543 [23:34] n1ckn4me09876543: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

Don't expect everyone here to be able to graps things instantly that others have spent months and years getting to know [23:34] harris, I have two laptops and a nexus [23:35] is one hp pavilion [23:35] no [23:35] ok I am installing Ubuntu on a customer's system, with an nvidia card I need to set it to nomodeset and I get grub, how do I set it to nomodeset temporarily to install the nvidia drivers? [23:35] what wifi cards do you have [23:35] wilee-nilee : Why would I not need a boot partition? I've always used them in the past. It is basically for when you want to keep the MBR (Master boot record, Windows uses this as it's default booting software which you can stick GRUB and other booting software one) [23:35] Endafy: edit the grub boot line, (e i recall at the grub menu) [23:35] Can anybody tell me how to troubleshoot my poweroff problem? (My 12.04LTS hangs at the loading dots instead of completelly shutting down) [23:35] !nomodeset [23:35] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:35] i am pissed [23:36] i need wifi [23:36] Dr_Willis, I see that, what do I type [23:36] harris: not whats so hard about running those 3 commands and rebooting to see if it worked.. [23:36] I don't know why we don't have a Debian package that automates the B43 install steps! We have to do it manually so many times! [23:36] I plan to put Arch, Linux Mint, and another distro (testing one, not for production use), and keep Ubuntu... [23:36] Endafy: change 'quiet splash' to be [23:36] Endafy: change 'quiet splash' to be 'quiet splash nomodeset' basically [23:36] alright ill try that [23:36] cc11rocks, hehe a MS bootloader aficionado, why is what I ask, grub is so more reliable and can be purged and reloaded at a whim. [23:37] grub 2 to be specific [23:37] cc11rocks: I'd recommend when you free up those partitions you switch to LVM. That'll allow you give and take space for volumes and file-systems as you wish [23:37] wilee-nilee : I'm not putting MBR/Windows/other crap on this one. Could you answer my question? [23:37] cc11rocks, I did I gave you a link to seperate your home, could you cut the attitude this is free advice. [23:38] wilee-nilee: the reason for a separate /boot is when you have the root fs encrypted, for example [23:38] Frostbyte: just as a global hint: did you look in the older logs in the /var/log folder? [23:38] I am signing in [23:39] It's also handy to assign about 512MB to a primary partition for /boot and the rest of the drive uses LVM [23:39] ok there is no quiet boot splash or anything like that [23:39] Love you Dr Willis [23:39] wilee-nilee : I don't have an attitude. I was merely saying I'm not going to put MBR/etc on it. Was an explanation and I would like to know why I should not use a boot partition. I am sorry if I have offended you. This was not my intention. I do appreciate your help in the link. I was only trying to be more clear [23:39] k1l: is there a specific log I can look into? I can reproduce the issue right now if needed, (it mostly does that when it has a little uptime) [23:39] ok I am useing ubuntu 10.10 (yeah i know, but 12.04 is buggy as all on this machine) and since stop dual booting and was wondering if there was a way to skip the grub list and have it just boot in to 10.10 [23:40] TJ-, not mentioned except in your responses why are you telling me this? [23:40] why cant Ubuntu include drivers it already contains non-free software? [23:40] wow.. and i told him a half hr+ ago.. to follow that url... [23:40] How do I put a shortcut to a shared folder shared via apple file sharing? [23:40] it causes so many issues === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away [23:40] Legal reasons for a lot of them. [23:40] lack of disk space for another. [23:41] TJ- Am I to use LVM because GRUB can only recognize a certain number of partitions? [23:41] ubuntu doesnt have non-free software... [23:41] drag and drop create link didn't work [23:41] Dr_Willis, i love you it worked [23:41] i guess u need to enable repos fr that [23:41] Dr_Willis, the EULA from the nvidia drivers specifically say that you can [23:41] Frostbyte: dmesg and syslog. but the get rotated and renamed after the reboot. so its dmesg.0 or dmesg.1 etc [23:41] wilee-nilee: you said "cc11rocks, Not sure why you would want a boot partition it is not needed, and makes things more complex," [23:41] Dr_Willis, would you like me to find it for you specifically? [23:41] Endafy: i dont really care... [23:41] varunpr97: ubuntu doesn't have non-free software -- I don't think so. === tab1293_ is now known as tab1293 [23:41] varunpr97: LOL - that's funny "ubuntu doesnt have non-free software" [23:41] Dr_Willis: Sorry. [23:41] well then why cant the drivers be included [23:41] TJ-, right and that is not you eh. ;) [23:41] it makes installations a pita [23:42] huh? [23:42] TJ- wilee-nilee I plan to use ext4 for all of my partitions... [23:42] not everyone wants the drivers [23:42] cc11rocks: Having /boot/ on a separate partition is different from installing grub's boot sector to a partition. If you install grub's boot sector anywhere, it should go in the MBR (not in a partition boot record). [23:42] cc11rocks: put them inside LVM... you'll regret it if you don't [23:42] for eg. ati users may nt want d nvidia drivers [23:42] The noveau drivers work good enough for my 5 nvidia systems now.. i sometimes go for several days or weeks befor i realize im not using the nvidia drivers.

[23:43] I always thought LVM was for server stuff (I put it in the RAID category of stuff)...Is it easy to set up the LVM? [23:43] Squareape, I need to look up how to nomodeset just to get Ubuntu to boot on Nvidia systems [23:43] k1l: dmesg only speaks about some mismatches, whereas I don't see anything specific on the syslog.. is there anything I can grep it with? [23:43] Endafy: from the live cd? or an instralled system? [23:43] Is there a way to put a shortcut on the desktop to an apple file sharing shared folder? drag and drop make link didn't work [23:43] Endafy, yes let's talk about real problems [23:44] from an installed system [23:44] it is a real problem [23:44] Endafy: It could be attached in kernel parameters. [23:44] Endafy: you see the grub menu when you boot up? [23:44] details please ;) [23:44] yes I do [23:44] I cant boot to desktop [23:44] Endafy: As Dr_Willis said, edit the kernel parameters in grub menu. [23:44] I CANT [23:44] I DONT KNOW THE COMMAND TO PUT IN [23:45] should be a line you edit (hit e at the grub menu) similer to -> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-10-generic root=UUID=96db155e-8d35-4766-8719-7af79fc82eac ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [23:45] You add nomodeset btween the quiet splash words...

[23:45] thats what i said to do earlier... ;) [23:45] so it will be at the end of linix-kernel-(numbers).whatever [23:45] ? [23:46] this shit shouldnt happen on an LTS [23:46] .... You add nomodeset between the quiet splash words... [23:46] or right after 'splash' ;) [23:46] has anybody have ptunnel exp here? [23:46] ok ill try again [23:46] Endafy: Maybe F2 or another key.

It can take a bit of shuffling to move the space initially, but you end up in an ideal situation with sda1 as your /boot ext3 and then sda2 as an LVM physical volume which contains the volume group which contains many logical volumes [23:51] @wethepeople: yea, it didnt help [23:51] kevincheri, type 'ptunnel --debug' in terminal see what that does [23:51] sportsfreund: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces.

[23:56] checking [23:56] Okay, that was a bad anology. GRUB gives you an "overview" of the images, partitions, and such through it's menu. LVM gives you an "overview" of the images, allows you to manage the partitions, and such. This is what I meant like an advanced version of GRUB. Does GRUB go above or below the LVM (inside LVM or outside)? [23:56] cc11rocks: No, not like GRUB at all. You can resize LVM volumes easily and use the free space for other volumes [23:56] cc11rocks: LVM as in logical volume management? Outside [23:56] where is the grub config file? [23:57] kyle__ yes [23:57] kyle__: /boot/ can be on LVM. [23:57] I want to make sure its not there anymore [23:57] cc11rocks: Grub undertsands enough of filesystems, partitions, guid partitions and lvm to open those up, pull the kernel, etc. [23:57] Jordan_U: Yes it can. But not on a mirrored lvm I found. [23:57] endafy: 'on the fly' edits like you did via 'e' do NOT get saved to the grub configs [23:57] oh ok [23:57] thanks for all your help [23:58] kyle__: Please file a bug report about that then. [23:58] endafy: thats sort of a main feature of the method. :) [23:58] So two partitions : /boot and lvm. GRUB looks through LVM partition to find images and such in the partition. It then launches these. The LVM partition is there to be able to manage these images and partitions. [23:58] Correct? [23:58] right [23:58] nice feature I appreciate that [23:58] ed1703: You can edit /etc/default/grub to save these settings. [23:58] endafy: up. [23:58] Jordan_U: K. I'll have to duplicate it first in 12.04, since I found that out with 11.04. [23:59] I am trying to install Ubuntu on like 300+ systems for sale and for people and anything with an Nvidia 4xx and 5xx card do this [23:59] cc11rocks: No... GRUB looks in sda1 and finds the boot menu and the kernels and initial ram disks. It loads one of the kernels which then gets to the /etc/fstab file and mounts the LVMs as defined
