| zykotick9 | sdz: are your VT consoles (ctrl-alt F1-F6) mirrored the same on all your monitors or only on 1? (that's how mine are right now - mirrored, each showing the login window. different distro/release then you though). if you get an answer, i'd please share with the channel ;) | 00:10 |

| davidl | I just upgraded Jaunty to Lucid on a Compaq Presario F700 laptop, now the keyboard & mouse don't work with the X server ... any suggestions? | 00:12 |
| davidl | (that is, I can SSH in fine, and if I shut down gdm/kdm I can log in at the console, but i can't log in via either gdm or kdm becuase me mouse and keyboard don't do anything) | 00:14 |
| sdz | zykotick9: On bootup and the console (tty's), I only get output on my smaller monitor. I want it on my other monitor. I have no issues with monitors in X. | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | davidl: good luck. you're gonna need it. upgrading an EOL distro to 10.04 (which i doubt many in this channel run anymore) seems very outdated for #ubuntu | 00:15 |
| zykotick9 | sdz: ya i recall i only see initial boot on 1 monitor, also. but my VTs are fine. i don't know how to switch it ;) good luck man! | 00:15 |
| eniac | you could try startx | 00:15 |
| eniac | start "X Server" | 00:16 |
| zykotick9 | to whomever eniac was talking to: using "sudo service lightdm start" might also be helpful to try. | 00:16 |

| hualet | Yesterday , I installed kde with 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' , then i just find i don't like kde at all, so i uninstalled it with synaptic, but when i use command 'locate kubuntu', i still found some files, so i deleted them, but when i install some new software today , it always warn me that some 'kubuntu-...'files can't found, so what can i do now? | 00:55 |
| === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 | ||
| keith__ | hualet, you could try installing kubuntu-desktop again | 00:56 |
| keith__ | hualet, and then uninstall it again | 00:56 |
| hualet | oh, god... | 00:57 |
| keith__ | hualet, some applications depend on KDE libraries, so you might have inadvertently deleted some of them | 00:57 |
| hualet | what's the problem? | 00:57 |
| hualet | then, do it again...? | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | hualet, if you are going to remove a desktop use this website playing around left column. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | make sure you are on the correct release as well when you use the list. | 00:59 |
| hualet | keith__, Couldn't I just install some package instead? | 00:59 |
| keith__ | hualet, sure, but you could have deleted files that other programs are depending on that you already have installed | 01:00 |
| keith__ | hualet, but yeah, you could just try reinstalling packages when things error | 01:01 |
| hualet | ok, but it's really a big project to install kubuntu-desktop again... | 01:02 |
| wilee-nilee | hualet, how did you remove the desktop in synaptic? | 01:02 |
| hualet | I just select the package install under the kubuntu-environment group | 01:03 |
| hualet | then, apply | 01:03 |
| luftikuss | '~$ ping 192.168.178.33; 7 packets transmitted, 7 received, 0% packet loss, time 5997ms. '~$ telnet 192.168.178.33; Trying 192.168.178.33...; telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.' What should I do now? | 01:04 |
| keith__ | hualet, you probably still have all of the packages downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives | 01:04 |
| wilee-nilee | hualet, Not a good way to do it unless you know exactly what to do take a look at the link I gave you it has all the package's in lists for the desktops supported by ubuntu basically, although kubuntu has changed there. | 01:05 |
| wilee-nilee | as far as actual economic support | 01:05 |
| keith__ | hualet, but I'm actually not sure if that will fix your problem, because I think the system thinks that a package is installed, but really some of its underlying files have been deleted by you | 01:05 |
| hualet | keith, no, do you know a tweak app named 'ubuntu-tweak'? i always use it after my updating or installing. | 01:06 |
| * frooh gives up and uninstalls X entirely | 01:06 | |
| hualet | I think so, too | 01:06 |
| hualet | Are you sure it will works if I just do the install and uninstall again? | 01:08 |
| keith__ | hualet, no, like I said... I'm actually not sure if that will fix your problem, because I think the system thinks that a package is installed, but really some of its underlying files have been deleted by you | 01:12 |
| keith__ | you will probably have to "reinstall" certain packages that are broken | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | hualet, I would look at the desktop list at psychocats website and not peck around read what it says there in the playing around section. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 01:12 |
| hualet | Ok, i'll try | 01:13 |
| hualet | keith__ and wilee-nilee, thank you . | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | hualet, no problem, removing and installing whole desktops is rather easy once you know what to do and get the lists of what is installed. | 01:15 |
| frooh | wow | 01:15 |
| frooh | it looks like a lightdm issue | 01:15 |
| frooh | gdm starts up | 01:15 |
| keith__ | hualet, no problem, good luck! | 01:17 |
| hualet | ok, i'm not familiar with IRC yet, and my English is not good, so , hope not bothered you that much... | 01:17 |
| hualet | thanks | 01:17 |

I've used the programs that the official website recommends to make it work, plugged it in to my computer, and have set USB HDD to top priority for booting.

| Fluid_Mantis | Who is the manufacturer of your computer, MajorPopinfresh, or did you build it? | 01:47 |
| MajorPopinfresh | It's a Samsung laptop. | 01:47 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I assume you've tried other USB ports, right? | 01:47 |
| MajorPopinfresh | I've tried all three on the machine. | 01:48 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I also have a Samsung laptop, but I can't comment since I haven't booted from USB with it. | 01:48 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Hmm. | 01:48 |
| fizyplankton | MajorPopinfresh: what version are you trying to install? | 01:48 |
| Fluid_Mantis | The best thing I can personally recommend is getting in touch with Samsung tomorrow. | 01:48 |
| viper474 | how can you change the unity launcher command for an app? | 01:48 |
| MajorPopinfresh | I can say for sure that the USB stick its self works... I'm trying to install the latest. 12.04 I believe? | 01:49 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Often, in the BIOS, the devices themselves (including USB storage) will show in the boot priority settings. | 01:50 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Do you see your USB device appearing in it? | 01:50 |
| fizyplankton | MajorPopinfresh: if you are comfortable doing so, try removing the harddrive to force it to boot from the flash drive | 01:50 |
| MajorPopinfresh | I'm honestly not sure. It's got USB HDD, which is at the top... it's got... | 01:50 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I thought it was a USB stick though, which would be flash memory rather than a HDD. :P | 01:51 |
| MajorPopinfresh | Oh. | 01:51 |
| MajorPopinfresh | Well... let's see... USB FDD, USB CD, and USB HDD are all that show up. | 01:51 |
| Fluid_Mantis | USB FDD. | 01:52 |
| Fluid_Mantis | USB Flash Disk Drive? | 01:52 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Try it. | 01:52 |
| corvaxia | So this is probably a silly question. Which ultrabooks have the best driver support for ubuntu? | 01:52 |

| MajorPopinfresh | Nope. Still passing over. | 01:53 |
| viper474 | found the answer to my question, thanks | 01:53 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I'd give Samsung a call then. | 01:53 |
| Fluid_Mantis | They're usually pretty helpful. | 01:53 |
| MajorPopinfresh | Right then. We've also got a guy coming on Sunday, if all else fails. | 01:54 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Good luck then. | 01:54 |

| JACKCHEF | please help, I cannot play full screen applications, unity stays at the top forcing everything to stay beneath the bar | 01:59 |
| Fluid_Mantis | zykotick9: Yeah, I can see the theme suggestions, still reading the page. But I think Ubuntu only comes with two themes. | 02:00 |
| trism | djzn: I'm pretty sure I know what is causing it, but I'm not sure the best way to fix it, gonna have to talk to the gtk devs | 02:02 |

| zykotick9 | Fluid_Mantis: i don't know the specifics anymore :( | 02:04 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Well, I know a semicolon is a continuation of a list. ;) | 02:05 |
| zykotick9 | Fluid_Mantis: in this case, changes left to right ;) | 02:06 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I see now, in the terminal command. :P | 02:07 |

| Vbitz | I'm going to install ubuntu on my HP dv6 laptop firstly should I wait for 12.10 and secondly are there any catchs to installing ubuntu on a hp dv6? | 02:09 |
| Fluid_Mantis | The only problem is that it's still left when maximised, but I can understand that since a lot of the "taskbar" is at the top-right. | 02:10 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Oh, one other thing. There is a mail icon at the top-right. It appears to be primarily for Thunderbird and also some kind of chat client. (Perhaps Jabber?) At any rate, I don't need it. Sorry for the newbie question, but how can I remove it/manage stuff at that part of the screen? | 02:15 |

| Fluid_Mantis | bazhang, zykotick9, thanks, I'll take a look. | 02:20 |
| JACKCHEF | Yes I used "myunity" to make some changes to the way unity looks, but when I went to play a game after, the unity side bar stays ontop, apps will not full screen and the top bar stays at the top with the time, | 02:21 |
| bazhang | JACKCHEF, so reinstall myunity and undo the settings made with it | 02:21 |
| JACKCHEF | I uninstalled "myunity" and rebooted, but the coloring and thing sI changed are still in effect, but "myunity" is not installed | 02:21 |
| JACKCHEF | yes ok | 02:21 |
| Fluid_Mantis | It could be the Ubuntu One Indicator Applet perhaps? | 02:22 |
| Fluid_Mantis | I might just remove Ubuntu One. | 02:22 |

| JACKCHEF | I cannot open applications, unity stays on the left, | 02:23 |
| JACKCHEF | thy open, but unity is there still | 02:23 |

| bazhang | Fluid_Mantis, sure. thats the way to uninstall stuff | 02:25 |
| Fluid_Mantis | bazhang, but when I try it for indicator-applet, it tells me it's not installed. | 02:25 |
| JACKCHEF | I've already tried that, I can make unity bar on the left go away, which allows the app to use more of the screem but the bar at the top stays, forcing the app to make its own window with another bar beneath, | 02:26 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, have you looked at the gnome shell, you can set up a hider for the top panel in it, little different desktop it is gnome 3 | 02:27 |
| JACKCHEF | it shouldnt be this way tho, | 02:27 |

| __OH__ | hello all , Ubuntu12.04.1 64bit is now avialable to upgrade? | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, you can reset the unity desktop | 02:34 |
| JACKCHEF | i tried unity --replace | 02:34 |
| bazhang | __OH__, August 23rd or thereabouts | 02:34 |
| __OH__ | bazhang, Thank you ;-) | 02:35 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, it is unity --reset | 02:35 |
| wilee-nilee | alt f2 unity --reset jacjc | 02:36 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, ^^^ | 02:36 |
| JACKCHEF | yeaah, still doesnt work right | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, try rebooting there are other commands as well | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | compiz is a bit finicky even if you did not use it exactly | 02:38 |
| JACKCHEF | cant I choose like repari option to install if its already installed? | 02:38 |
| JACKCHEF | I dont have compiz fusion manager installed, its using some sort of compiz by default tho | 02:38 |
| JACKCHEF | I'm pretty familiar with compiz, even its experimental plugins, I'd hate to reinstall and have this problem again tho.. cause ive never had it, | 02:39 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, yes unity is a plugin in compiz. http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration | 02:39 |
| arooni-mobile | i want everything that uses readline to use the vim bindings. i already have set editing-mode vi; and set keymap vi ... | 02:40 |
| arooni-mobile | ideas? | 02:40 |
| bazhang | arooni-mobile, asked in the vim channel? | 02:41 |
| arooni-mobile | yes | 02:41 |
| JACKCHEF | seems it hangs, the terminal | 02:41 |
| JACKCHEF | any sort of unity command, screen resets, looks as if it took effect, but terminal never returns to idle, just hangs | 02:41 |
| zykotick9 | !schedule > __OH__ | 02:42 |
| ubottu | __OH__, please see my private message | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, close the terminal and reboot it is probably fixed | 02:42 |
| JACKCHEF | whenever I close the terminal it says "There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it" and screen flash, appears as if it went back to previous settings, which.. look the same | 02:43 |
| JACKCHEF | because it was hanging, so I guess it did not complete | 02:43 |
| JACKCHEF | well see you in 40 mins after re install | 02:45 |

| zzt | I need some help. Java how to find the last "." location? | 03:07 |
| zzt | I want replace the string "abc.mp3" to "abc.lrc". | 03:08 |
| codemaniac | zzt are they on a text file ie the string you mentioned ? | 03:10 |
| zzt | in java, find the last "."? the function "indexOf()" is only find the string from left | 03:10 |
| zzt | codemaniac ! text file? | 03:11 |
| arivu | www.google.com | 03:11 |
| codemaniac | in java they are called method and not function | 03:11 |
| codemaniac | so what is the issue here | 03:11 |
| codemaniac | if you want to do text manipulation only over a file , then native unix utilities are best bet than java | 03:13 |
| codemaniac | eg awk ,sed | 03:13 |
| zzt | oh! thanks! | 03:14 |
| zzt | I write a function. | 03:14 |
| zzt | I am a chinese programer. Read English is slow | 03:15 |
| Nautilus | are there different distros of 12.04, like with LAMP, an IDE, Compass etc set up? eg: a web dev box? | 03:16 |
| zzt | I'm in china, codemaniac where are you ? | 03:18 |
| JACKCHEF | installing (: | 03:18 |
| codemaniac | me in India zzt | 03:19 |
| jagginess | Nautilus, this is #ubuntu, if you need to know about other linuxes, you should check out wikipedia, they have lists of derivative linuxes.. | 03:20 |
| codemaniac | jagginess: you can always customize the default live cd and put whatever programming tools you wish. | 03:21 |
| codemaniac | Nautilus: | 03:21 |
| jagginess | Nautilus is username in here. I was addressing him | 03:21 |
| jagginess | pff mwhaha | 03:21 |
| codemaniac | jagginess: sorry highlighted you mistakenly . :) | 03:21 |
| JACKCHEF | how can I dual boot operating systems from Usb, I can do one just fine, but when installing another it wont give me a grub menu, | 03:21 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, a usb is meant to be carried around, so you'll need to install grub to the beginning of the usb drive. | 03:22 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, you would have to use the bios boot menu (maybe it's f12 to call it up), so you can choose the usb drive as the first drive to boot instead of the default internal one | 03:23 |
| JACKCHEF | I've installed Ubuntu to usb and booted it fine, thats not the issue | 03:23 |
| JACKCHEF | when installing multiple os on usb, and booting usb, I dont get a grub menu for the OS' that are on the usb | 03:23 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, boot into your main OS you like (any linux that has grub2 package with it), and do update-grub2 | 03:24 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, and you don't need to do grub-install | 03:24 |
| Nautilus | jagginess: no, i want to know about ubuntu, not alternate *nix's. Just wondering if there was a pre-configured desktop install with things like LAMP, IDE, Compass (and other similar Web Dev tools) available. Perhaps "distibution" is the wrong word, since thats used for things like Kubuntu | 03:24 |
| JACKCHEF | I cant | 03:24 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, if the menu doesnt show up.. then you have to do grub-install from the "same" linux you did update-grub2 on. | 03:25 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, depends which linux's grub.cfg you want to use. | 03:25 |
| JACKCHEF | how am I suppost to do that if it doesnt boot | 03:25 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, then do a rescue boot with a cd, and fix your main linux on usb.. | 03:25 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, i assume you want to do a rescue prompt with ubuntu.. so fix your ubuntu usb boot (use a ubuntu install cd) | 03:26 |
| jagginess | !rescue | 03:26 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 03:26 |
| JACKCHEF | have no idea what your talking about, | 03:26 |
| jagginess | argh.. ubottu can be awful at times | 03:26 |
| JACKCHEF | not listening apparently | 03:26 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, you have ubuntu on your usb? | 03:26 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, is that an installer or an installed ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| JACKCHEF | Yes , and I dont care about it either, | 03:27 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, then stop trolling. That's how you fix it. | 03:27 |
| jagginess | now go fix it. | 03:27 |
| JACKCHEF | I can install ubuntu onto usb just fine, But when I install another os onto the usb, I do not get a choice to boot which os , i get nothing | 03:27 |
| JACKCHEF | im not trolling, perhaps stop blabbing things that have nothing to do with what im asking and I wont tell you im not interested in it, no need to take offense mate | 03:28 |
| jagginess | JACKCHEF, well ask anybody else. They'll say the same.. you issue update-grub2 and grub-install. You have to rtfm from here on to know what i'm talking about.. sorry. | 03:28 |

| smithw | Hi, can you guys help with nvidia optimus/bumblebee problems? I tried asking in #bumblebee, but I think there's no one there right now. (I'm asking to ask just to make sure it's allowed here.) | 03:29 |
| Nautilus | jagginess: I want to know about ubuntu, not alternate *nix's. Just wondering if there was a pre-configured desktop install with things like LAMP, IDE, Compass (and other similar Web Dev tools) available. Perhaps "distibution" is the wrong word, since thats used for things like Kubuntu | 03:29 |
| TJ- | I've missed everything that has been said, but surely if installed "another OS" causes the problem, then the problem is with what "other OS" does to the USB's boot sector. Maybe it installs syslinux not GRUB? | 03:29 |
| JACKCHEF | I think you are right | 03:30 |
| JACKCHEF | after the second OS is on there I cant boot either so, | 03:30 |
| TJ- | Many ISO based installers use syslinux not GRUB | 03:30 |
| jagginess | Nautilus, you'll have to research on that, simply a google with "ubuntu based distro site:wikipedia.org" may show some relevance | 03:30 |
| Aquethys | Hi. I'm trying to install 12.04 wubi on my hp pavilion dv6. Last time I tried the wireless drivers were not present (wireless just showed disconnected). Is there any way to make sure they will be? | 03:31 |
| TJ- | JACKCHEF: I seem to recall there's a hidden key in the syslinux bootstrap you can press to get to a menu... I wrote that code! | 03:31 |
| TJ- | Let me go check, it was a while ago now | 03:31 |
| JACKCHEF | sneaky sneaky | 03:31 |
| InferiorHuman | TJ-, hello again. ;-) | 03:31 |
| TJ- | JACKCHEF: I'm not sure but I think it's one of Shift or Alt | 03:32 |
| Nautilus | jagginess: ok thanks, pretty much already did that. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way... get 12.04 installed then maybe theres something that sets up a dev environment? | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, How did you install ubuntu to the usb? | 03:32 |
| JACKCHEF | I installed it from disc to usb | 03:32 |
| JACKCHEF | partitioned beforehand | 03:32 |
| TJ- | "If the Shift or Alt keys are held down during boot, or the Caps or Scroll locks are set, SYSLINUX will display a LILO-style "boot:" prompt" | 03:33 |
| Aquethys | Hi. I'm trying to install 12.04 wubi on my hp pavilion dv6. Last time I tried the wireless drivers were not present (wireless just showed disconnected). Is there any way to make sure they will be? | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, ah good when you do that you want to use the something other option to point grub at the usb, this is an easy fix. | 03:33 |
| JACKCHEF | But I will read about that TJ thanks., | 03:33 |
| JACKCHEF | and thanks jagginess | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: were they present during live boot? | 03:34 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, well you can try the live option if there is one with the latest ubuntu installer and see if that can connect your wifi or at least be able to scan WIFI AP with it.. | 03:34 |
| TJ- | GRUB uses Shift too, so if that isn't getting you a boot menu something may have totally taken away the boot-strap in sector 0 | 03:34 |
| === sun is now known as Guest68975 | ||
| Aquethys | what's the live option? can you please link me iff possible? is that wubi? | 03:34 |
| TJ- | InferiorHuman: Hi :) | 03:34 |
| JACKCHEF | Aquethys Im running ubuntu on a DV6 right now | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | Nice | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | When you installed | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | did it have wireless? | 03:35 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, i don't know if its on the wubi.. nobody here uses it.. | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | Or did you have to manually get the drivers? | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | Oh | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | okay so how else do I install? via cd? | 03:35 |
| JACKCHEF | it didn't. i went to, additional hardware and activated a wireless driver | 03:35 |
| Aquethys | Oh | 03:36 |
| Aquethys | Are you running 12.04? | 03:36 |
| jagginess | anyone knows if the 12.04 cd still offers a live option? (Aquethy's) | 03:36 |
| JACKCHEF | if you plug into eithernet and do an update your problem could be solved aswell, that happened on my netbook | 03:36 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: FYI; wubi is for TESTING ubuntu. It is NOT a permanent installation solution - so sayeth the wubi developers. | 03:36 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, I run 12.04 yes.. but i'm on another machine currently.. | 03:36 |
| Aquethys | oh | 03:36 |
| Aquethys | Okay | 03:36 |
| Aquethys | So what's the real way to keep ubuntu | 03:36 |
| JACKCHEF | keep | 03:37 |
| JACKCHEF | ? | 03:37 |
| Aquethys | Ubuntu desktop? | 03:37 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, wubi is not a real "linux" because it exists as a single large file on the windows filesystem | 03:37 |
| cfhowlett | !dual boot|aquethys | 03:37 |
| ubottu | aquethys: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 03:37 |
| Aquethys | where do I get the file? | 03:38 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, but you should still be able to check it out and try to get your wifi working with it while you get the hang of things.. | 03:38 |
| zykotick9 | !cookie | jagginess cfhowlett | 03:38 |
| ubottu | jagginess cfhowlett: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 03:38 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, the real installer? | 03:38 |
| Aquethys | ya | 03:38 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, it's there on the main page somewhere | 03:38 |
| jagginess | !download | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Precise, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | jagginess: you've already downloaded the ubuntu iso...create a boot media (usb are GREAT for this), boot from the live media and install. | 03:38 |
| Aquethys | is it the desktop cd file? | 03:39 |
| Aquethys | http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: arrg. create a boot media cdrom or USB, boot from that and install. you've already got the iso. | 03:39 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, y | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: yes. | 03:39 |
| Aquethys | and doesn't matter what version of windows I have, I can get 64 bit ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: yes if your system supports 64 bit. | 03:40 |
| InferiorHuman | Aquethys, do you have a 64bit processor ? | 03:40 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso (64bit) or http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso (32 bit) | 03:40 |
| Aquethys | Um i3? | 03:40 |
| InferiorHuman | Aquethys, yep | 03:40 |
| Aquethys | Okay | 03:40 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, amd64 is for intel64bit too | 03:40 |
| InferiorHuman | yep | 03:40 |
| Aquethys | Okay so | 03:40 |
| Aquethys | Save the image file or open with imgburn so I can burn it to cd? | 03:40 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, this one http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 03:40 |
| Aquethys | yup got it :D just on the download screen | 03:41 |
| Aquethys | gotta decide whether to open or save | 03:41 |
| InferiorHuman | save it then open with image burn. or use unetbootin to make a USB installer | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: see unetbootin for windows to create a USB | 03:41 |
| Aquethys | okay | 03:41 |
| Aquethys | can I burn it to CD | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: yes | 03:41 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, imgburn works well and is free on windows | 03:41 |
| Aquethys | So after I burn it with imgburn | 03:41 |
| Aquethys | Do I just reboot with disc in | 03:41 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, ya.. there's an button option to "burn image to cd" graphically, easy to use.. | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: follow the dual boot installation I sent you. | 03:42 |
| Aquethys | alright just waiitng for download to finish :) | 03:42 |
| InferiorHuman | Aquethys, when your computer reboots with cd in it check for the menu's to say press F10 for boot menu or something and then select cd-drive. or in bios in boot order make sure cd-rom drive is first. | 03:43 |
| Aquethys | I have the dv6...is this for all windows computers @inferior? | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway; back up critical windows data before installing ubuntu. | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | Okay | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | um | 03:44 |
| JACKCHEF | okay my previous problem is gone but im afraid an update will bring it back | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | I don't have a external hard drive available | 03:44 |
| JACKCHEF | aquethys Im on a DV6 | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | Yup :P | 03:44 |
| JACKCHEF | f9 should bring a choice between all available bootable media | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | okay | 03:44 |
| Aquethys | when it's at the hp screen? | 03:44 |
| JACKCHEF | the starting flash with the options yes | 03:45 |
| Aquethys | okay | 03:45 |
| Aquethys | how do I backup all critical windows data without an external hard drive? I don't have one of those :( | 03:45 |
| Aquethys | and on windows 8 developer preview | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: usb ... | 03:45 |
| InferiorHuman | Aquethys, do you have a second HD in that machine ? | 03:45 |
| viralfrost | cloud services maybe? | 03:45 |
| JACKCHEF | right now my windows have there minimize and maximize options at the top of their windows, but after updating lastime those options were transfered to the unity bar at the top, | 03:45 |
| JACKCHEF | i dont want it so | 03:46 |
| viralfrost | dropbox, box, ubuntu one...etc | 03:46 |
| Aquethys | second HD? I've got C drive, Recovery drive (D), HP_Tools (E) | 03:46 |
| Aquethys | and I only have 5GB on my dropbox | 03:46 |
| viralfrost | you can always resize your windows partition, then do whatever you need to on the second partition..ie: install ubuntu, reinstall windows..whatever | 03:47 |
| warmit | hi,need help. I used 'git reset --hard HEAD^^' on my working tree, does that mean the recently commited 2 commits are gone totally? | 03:47 |
| Aquethys | hm okay how do I resize and see how much space I need to dedicate to a second partition? | 03:48 |
| viralfrost | then when its installed, move all your stuff from the windows partition to your new one, and delete the old partition that had your data on, and resize the one that you just made | 03:48 |
| JACKCHEF | when installing ubuntu alongside it will resize it for you you can choose the size by sliding an allocation bar | 03:48 |
| JACKCHEF | ^^^ | 03:48 |
| Aquethys | @jackchef you mean when I boot the CD? | 03:48 |
| TJ- | warmit: Yes | 03:48 |
| TJ- | warmit: *unless* those commits still exist in another branch, or you can recall their commit IDs since they'll be hanging commits with no references right now | 03:49 |
| JACKCHEF | @Aquethys, If your only installed os, is windows, and your installing Ubuntu, if will detect this, you can choose the "install along side windows " option , There will be a slider bar choosing how much space to dedicate to your windows and how much for ubuntu , | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | Aquethys: also, it helps to defrag your windows before you repartition. | 03:49 |
| JACKCHEF | it will* | 03:49 |
| Aquethys | okay | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | great | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | Still have to backup though right? | 03:50 |
| jagginess | ya | 03:50 |
| viralfrost | aquethys - and don't interrupt it..otherwise itll mess up your data... | 03:50 |
| JACKCHEF | you dont .. "have to " but you can | 03:50 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, you have to. | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | ^ | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | Ya | 03:50 |
| jagginess | Aquethys, to be 100% sure. | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | I need to...can't risk it | 03:50 |
| jagginess | yup | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | Um | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | I only have | 03:50 |
| Aquethys | a like | 03:50 |
| FloodBot1 | Aquethys: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:50 |
| cfhowlett | ...um , floodbot What the heck? | 03:51 |
| jagginess | i think he has a windows virus too | 03:51 |
| JACKCHEF | your entire HDD could be dedicated to windows, but during ubuntu installation you can choose exactly how much space you want each OS to have access to on ur HDD, | 03:51 |
| warmit | TJ-: yes, before i reset, i started a new branch to reset, but when i checkout the other commit, it flys back to the same commit i reset to . | 03:51 |
| TJ- | Aquethys: please write your messages on one line | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | jagginess: would a windows virus effect irc? | 03:51 |
| * jagginess thinks Aquethys may have got the irc burp bot | 03:51 | |
| TJ- | warmit: can you go back through your scroll buffer and spot the commit IDs ? | 03:52 |
| warmit | TJ-: yes ,there is | 03:52 |
| TJ- | warmit: one other way you might be able to find the commit IDs is to do "ls -ltr .git/objects/" and then the same in the most recent sub-directories of that one to spot the IDs | 03:53 |
| JACKCHEF | Aquethys: choose install along side windows, and no prior partitioning will be needed, just choose how much space to dedicate to windows and linux with the slider bar presented, thats all | 03:53 |
| JACKCHEF | allocation bar* | 03:53 |
| TJ- | warmit: If you have the commit IDs you can cherry-pick them | 03:53 |
| warmit | TJ-: i am now on that branch,but things are not looking like i needed. | 03:53 |
| somsip | Grub problem - I have kernel 3.2.0-29 installed, and update-grub confirms this is recognised when it's run, but only 3.2.0-26 shows in Grub menu. Any ideas why this is? | 03:53 |
| TJ- | sompsip "Previous operating systems" ? | 03:54 |
| wilee-nilee | JACKCHEF, generally it is advised to resize windows with its virtual partitioner with windows 7 at least, and to malke sure it boots fine after the auto chkdsk. | 03:54 |
| viralfrost | aquethys - I've installed linux many times and partitioned with gparted, resizing my partition with windows on it, and installing linux on a new one...never had any problem with data loss or anything | 03:54 |
| jagginess | viralfrost, ya but you're not new to this.. :) | 03:54 |
| somsip | TJ-: I do have grub on a secondary HD recognised by bootinfoscript, but I'm not clear on how to correct this. | 03:54 |
| JACKCHEF | yeah , I partition everything before installations, | 03:55 |
| cfhowlett | JACKCHEF: I'm inclined to agree with that method. | 03:55 |
| TJ- | somsip: maybe the boot device order in BIOS is picking that secondary drive to boot from? | 03:56 |
| viralfrost | somsip - try update-initramfs and update-grub2 ? | 03:57 |
| somsip | It's something I can check next time I reboot. The drive was only reattached a short time ago which is when I noticed kernel updates were not getting through | 03:57 |
| TJ- | somsip that'll be it then | 03:58 |
| somsip | viralfrost: update-grub2 does find the images for -29, but I guess that update-grub was doing the same thing. I'll check on next boot | 03:58 |
| somsip | TJ-: Ok - I'll dig in the BIOS. Cheers | 03:58 |
| jagginess | somsip, duh. update-grub is not for grub2. | 03:58 |
| viralfrost | :) | 03:59 |
| hwkiller-netbook | update-grub is for grub2, iirc | 03:59 |
| hwkiller-netbook | that's what I use, and I use grub2 | 03:59 |
| zykotick9 | actually "update-grub" and "update-grub2" are the same | 03:59 |
| somsip | jagginess: actually update-grub2 is a symlilnk to update-grub | 03:59 |
| jagginess | can be.. but traditionally weren't. | 03:59 |
| jagginess | you just use update-grub2 | 03:59 |
| zykotick9 | jagginess: always. grub1 aka grub-legacy didn't have the "update" feature | 04:00 |
| viralfrost | somsip - try using grub-customizer | 04:00 |
| jagginess | well if i use multiple distros (wait a minute i do), I'm so stubborn I will always use update-grub2 :) | 04:01 |
| somsip | viralfrost: thankd for the idea, but grub has always updated automatically so if that's stopped it sugegst something else is wrong. Another MBR having grub seems to make sense given what I found on the web before asking | 04:02 |
| zykotick9 | jagginess: good for you. pointless, save yourself a keystroke every time ;) | 04:02 |
| __OH__ | hello all, how long it take to install Ubuntu restricted extras from Ubuntu Software Center? | 04:24 |
| `4fun` | hey guys, i portforwarded port 113 for irc identd to my ubuntu server but it still acts as if its not enabled | 04:24 |
| `4fun` | is there something i need to install to enable identd on ubuntu server? | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | __OH__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:24 |
| __OH__ | It take about 15 minutes for me now and still apply.... | 04:24 |
| exothermc | Is there a nice interface to manage storage and file systems? Something like openfiler, but using Ubuntu? I don't need the permissions things just the RAID, FS etc? | 04:24 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, modern clients can simulate or there are router boxes that simulate it sometimes.. | 04:25 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, it's an old relic that isn't very necessary.. | 04:25 |
| `4fun` | jagginess, what isnt necessary? | 04:25 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, it's possible your router box is not allowing to port forward 113 | 04:25 |
| `4fun` | jagginess, its the port is forwarded to my ubuntu server already | 04:26 |
| === jeffsf|noPVR4u is now known as jeffsf| | ||
| jagginess | `4fun`, the box may say its configured it's doing port forward to 113, but it may not be doing it because it's already doing some kind of identd on it's own | 04:27 |
| __OH__ | cfhowlett, how do i stop install process Ubuntu restricted extras from Ubuntu Software Center, it's seem not work from there? | 04:27 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, identd is basically something of a relic | 04:27 |
| `4fun` | jagginess, the router does nothing but forward port 113.. there isnt anything else invloved, atleast i think so.. and i didnt do anything to my ubuntu server about identd | 04:28 |
| `4fun` | so i dont know if its handling anything by default on its own.. thats why im asking here | 04:28 |
| `4fun` | obviously the port is not forwarded to any other machine from the router | 04:29 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, you should ask on #freenode what you're after about irc's.. | 04:29 |
| `4fun` | umm its not about irc | 04:29 |
| `4fun` | its about ubuntu acting as if port 113 doesnt exist... | 04:29 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identd identd is dead :/ | 04:29 |
| `4fun` | its not on IRC dude | 04:30 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, they would know about identd | 04:30 |
| jagginess | irc or not | 04:30 |
| `4fun` | huh? | 04:30 |
| `4fun` | who would know? | 04:30 |
| jagginess | #freenode | 04:30 |
| `4fun` | well, lets ignore IRC for a second jagginess, why is ubuntu server not seeing port 113? does it need a certain package to install or some kind of service? | 04:31 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, sounds like you're setting up a server that does ident checking | 04:32 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, to understand what can simulate an ident response, you can ask on #freenode | 04:33 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, sounds like you're setting up an irc server | 04:33 |
| `4fun` | no man | 04:33 |
| `4fun` | im not | 04:33 |
| `4fun` | and thanks for trying dude | 04:33 |
| __OH__ | There is problem with Ubuntu Software center, in process applying changes not been complete and take so long, I need to stop thier process, how to do? | 04:33 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, port 113 is identd. You'll have to know about it. :) (read online) | 04:35 |
| TJ- | `4fun`: You need to install an identd on the server. I use oidentd with its proxying enabled | 04:35 |
| `4fun` | TJ-, aah so i do need an identd server.. thanks dude | 04:36 |
| jagginess | lol | 04:36 |
| TJ- | `4fun`: E.g. I have oidentd on my Internet server which proxies for my VPN tunnel that leads back to my premises. On my laptop I run oidentd too, configured to expect proxy requests from the Server. So when an ident request comes in, the Internet server sends it to my laptop | 04:36 |
| jagginess | irrelevant if his router box already simulates an identd response. | 04:36 |
| jagginess | but good luck.. | 04:36 |

| === codemaniac is now known as fego | ||
| `4fun` | jagginess, installing oidentd fixed the issue.. now port 113 is Open and IRC sees it as enabled.. | 04:38 |
| `4fun` | im still not getting what youre on about the router simulating an identd response | 04:39 |
| `4fun` | its just forwarding a 'port' | 04:39 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, and the people at #freenode would know too :) lol.. whatever you're trying to do | 04:39 |
| jagginess | `4fun`, identd is sort of dead, but tends to stick around with irc stuff | 04:39 |
| TJ- | `4fun`: some gateway routers will answer ident requests with a simulated user name | 04:39 |
| jagginess | TJ- yeahyeah i told him already like 2-3 times.. | 04:39 |
| jagginess | :) | 04:39 |
| `4fun` | TJ-, yeah, ok, that makes sense | 04:40 |
| `4fun` | jagginess, thats not what you said, you were talking as if my router is actually doing that and it doesnt | 04:40 |
| `4fun` | TJ- just explained it better | 04:40 |
| `4fun` | but problem solved | 04:40 |
| jagginess | lol well ok | 04:40 |
| Criv | ezit | 04:40 |
| jagginess | that's why i mentioned the dudes who would know it best (#freenode) | 04:41 |

| Symmetria | hrm, lo all | 05:33 |
| smithw | cfhowlett, just to let you I solved it. I made the wrong assumption that modifying the nvidia-current.conf file on xord.conf.d wouldn't affect my normal Xorg since it's using the integrated graphics, and set AutoAddDevices to false. changed that and the keyboard is back. (the endless returns are probably a side effect of typing my password with the onscreen keyboard, I guess the last stroke - return - never sends a 'key up' event because of the login proces | 05:33 |
| smithw | s it starts) | 05:33 |
| Symmetria | trying to install a bunch of .deb packages from hp which they claim are or ubuntu, but get this every time: | 05:34 |

| cfhowlett | smithw: congrats. also, consider doing a write up of the issue for the forums. cuz you know SOMEONE out there is thinking the exact same way you did. | 05:35 |
| smithw | cfhowlett, which issue? my confusion on the role played by the files on xorg.conf.d or the key up that the X server never receives? or both? | 05:36 |
| Tervingi | why are you using source forge for the core fonts? | 05:36 |
| __OH__ | Teringi, I am install Ubuntu restricted extras on Ubuntu Software center, it's include by defualt whe install it | 05:38 |

| Symmetria | urgh, so, like, a package install went wrong, and now every time I try and install a package, it get a message about the original package needing to be reinstalled, and dpkg refuses to get rid of the one thats breaking it | 05:48 |
| Symmetria | so eery time I try install anything now I get E: The package cpqacuxe needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 05:49 |

| linuxuz3r | what is the font of activities in default theme of gnome-shell ubuntu | 06:04 |
| Tervingi | yeah, i'm kind of not an expert, so maybe don't try that fuser command. | 06:05 |
| Tervingi | I pulled off an instant shutdown trying to kill a text file. | 06:05 |
| __OH__ | I wanna stop E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 06:06 |

| Tervingi | act to you? | 06:07 |
| __OH__ | I am show | 06:07 |
| __OH__ | I mean it's always show up | 06:08 |
| Tervingi | ok, so perhaps this one is safe | 06:08 |
| Tervingi | "Safety not gauranteed" | 06:08 |
| Tervingi | $ sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a | 06:08 |
| __OH__ | Tervingi, /var/lib/dpkg/lock: root 3006 F.... dpkg | 06:09 |
| Tervingi | try to install as normal. | 06:09 |
| __OH__ | Kill process 3006 ? (y/N) y | 06:09 |
| __OH__ | then there going to download frle from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/ | 06:10 |
| __OH__ | again | 06:10 |
| Tervingi | find the IP of it, and put it in your /etc/hosts | 06:10 |
| Tervingi | So it doesn't go through dns resolution | 06:10 |
| zykotick9 | __OH__: killing that isn't a great idea... can you just reboot the system? much cleaner. | 06:10 |
| __OH__ | zykotick9, reboot is not help because im try it's many times | 06:11 |
| zykotick9 | !aptlock | __OH__ | 06:12 |
| ubottu | __OH__: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 06:12 |
| Tervingi | bypass it with the hosts file | 06:12 |
| linuxuz3r | try deleting /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 06:12 |
| Tervingi | I think apt is getting locked up because it keeps crashing as a result of the network configuration problem you have, that is preventing proper resolution of the sourceforge address. | 06:13 |
| __OH__ | Tervingi, any ways to cache DNS? | 06:15 |
| __OH__ | or remove repository from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/? | 06:16 |
| Tervingi | See exactly what address is failing | 06:16 |
| Tervingi | when you run the dpkg | 06:16 |
| Tervingi | Then, run $ dig sourceforge.addresss.here | 06:17 |
| Tervingi | that will give you the ip address of it | 06:17 |
| Tervingi | from a whois info | 06:17 |
| Tervingi | instead of your dns servers | 06:17 |
| Tervingi | Then put that in your /etc/hosts | 06:17 |
| Tervingi | on a side note, perhaps you should look at the possibility of some dns hijacking somewhere if that isn't resolving properly. | 06:18 |
| Tervingi | if the hosts doesn't immediately take effect, restart network service via sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 06:20 |

| santhom | @ActionParsnip True, I tried 12.04 and most of the times the computer hangs during shut down process | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Tervingi: tried duckduckgo ;) | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | santhom: still doesn't make Maverick supported | 06:27 |
| __OH__ | Tervingi, it's not work for me, but thank you for help. still had a problem | 06:28 |
| Tervingi | bummer. | 06:29 |
| cfhowlett | !LTS|santhom only is the way to go unless you REALLY need the latest shiny thing. | 06:32 |
| ubottu | santhom only is the way to go unless you REALLY need the latest shiny thing.: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 06:32 |
| Tervingi | I wonder why that one is 5 years on desktop.... | 06:33 |
| TJ- | Tervingi: To give enterprises the confidence to adopt it | 06:34 |
| Tervingi | well I hope they do. | 06:34 |
| Tervingi | Its not a long trip from that hud "type your command" to "say it" | 06:34 |
| Tervingi | Which would blow the doors off metro. | 06:34 |
| TJ- | I think it's a backward step, the HUD. It makes exploring what's installed much more difficult for new users than simply browsing menu categories | 06:35 |
| TJ- | Once I've got my hand on the mouse I don't want to be dragging it away to type | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: how, with menus you need to search to find what you need, with hud you just type and the menu is searched for you | 06:36 |
| Tervingi | true, but, if the commands people typed and all the menus of programs were created into a text corpus, perhaps they could do a natural language "bookmark this" that you could use verbally in every program. | 06:36 |
| Tervingi | Its the best path to a "star trek" computer I have seen. | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: great for new menu systems, or ones with lots of submenus | 06:36 |
| Tervingi | I don't use it much, but it seems to have potential | 06:36 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: You miss the point; If you don't know what's available in some categories you won't know what to type. In menu heirachies you can explore down them and see names of programs and recall those later when you need something to do a particular task | 06:37 |
| New_ | hey guys I got a pdf with a key file and a key code and I realy need to open it ( in ubuntu) how can i do it ? any idea? | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: yes but that takes time to learn, with hud there is zero learning | 06:37 |
| TJ- | The trouble with Unity and the single menu along top is, it was designed for 'bling' on tablets and small screen devices.... not for those of us with multiple HD displays | 06:38 |
| Tervingi | Right, but that would be unecessary if instead of knowing that someone needs to drill down a menu for increasing a paragraph indent, they could simply type "indent entire paragraph" | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | New_: if evince doesn't do it you can always install the adobe reader | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: we're discussing hud... | 06:38 |
| Tervingi | I think it goes to just telling the computer what you want it to do | 06:38 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: I beg to differ! I *know* what is on this system and I still often can't find it with HUD | 06:38 |
| * L3top agrees with TJ- | 06:38 | |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: try using hud in gimp,makes life a tonne easier, especially with the different effects etc | 06:39 |
| New_ | I have document viewer do i need to install evince | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | New_: that is evince | 06:39 |
| L3top | I want, at the very least, a heirarchical option. | 06:39 |
| TJ- | Every time this laptop starts and I log-in the first thing I do is run nvidia-x-settings ... I type "nvidia" and it says "can't find it" ... then 20 seconds later it appears. | 06:39 |
| Tervingi | I can't find it at all, if the computer just listened to me barking at it, life would be great. | 06:39 |
| Tervingi | That's where the hud comes in :D | 06:39 |
| Tervingi | I have ATI, and after my last redo, I just said to heck with the proprietary drivers. | 06:40 |
| TJ- | So it doesn't even cache/learn what my work flow is and help me | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Tervingi: they aren't always needed :) | 06:40 |
| New_ | adobe is not open source is it? | 06:41 |
| TJ- | I also hate how the HUD tries to follow me across multiple screens as I change focus whilst typing, and gets in the way | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | New_: no | 06:41 |
| Tervingi | why would you change focus while typing? | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: some like that, can't please em all | 06:41 |
| TJ- | I'll be on the LVDS open HUD to search for something, need to check what it is on the other screen in a document for example... and the HUD will move to the other screen and obscure my view | 06:41 |
| TJ- | I like the concept of HUD... but the execution so far has been like a 10 year backward step in workflow | 06:42 |
| === fego is now known as codemaniac | ||
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: then don't use it..... | 06:43 |
| Tervingi | My hud does not switch unless I click in the other monitor. | 06:43 |
| TJ- | Tervingi: Why wouldn't I? My brain and me multitask! | 06:43 |
| Tervingi | lol | 06:44 |
| Tervingi | oh | 06:44 |
| Tervingi | yes it does | 06:44 |
| TJ- | I just checked by bringing it up on the LVDS then moving the mouse to another HD screen and just leaving it over xchat... 2 seconds later the HUD gets in my way! | 06:45 |
| Tervingi | well, I hate sounding like a fanboy, but your usage seems a bit bizarre | 06:46 |
| Tervingi | doing a command in one program while focusing on another seems odd | 06:46 |
| TJ- | I'm getting on with it better than when I first upgraded to it, and I try to find ways to work with it, but I keep getting stopped from doing things fluidly that I never had issues with previously | 06:46 |
| TJ- | Why? It's a multi-tasking OS ! | 06:46 |
| TJ- | I have about 10 things going at once mostly and I'm moving between them constantly as they call on my input | 06:47 |
| TJ- | As I said earlier - HUD and Unity are for small-screen single-use devices | 06:47 |
| Tervingi | you can disable it in compiz | 06:48 |
| TJ- | I know, but that isn't practical | 06:48 |
| TJ- | How can I fix bugs if I avoid using the things that contain the bugs? | 06:48 |
| Tervingi | lol | 06:48 |

| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: is that the option one can enable at install process? about other party software | 07:05 |
| Tervingi | Install Windows in a VM in Virtual BOX | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest98268: you are free to try it in wine but I doubt it will work. Don't forget that linux is a completely different OS with differnet drivers and display methods | 07:05 |
| MirtheN | thats cause in vlc you have to actually know how to set the video up to your liking, you can make it just as clear/crisp/whatever as powerdvd will do, just need to enable advanced options | 07:06 |
| Tervingi | then run it with power dvd, hit ctrl+l | 07:06 |
| Tervingi | and it will look just like a Linux app | 07:06 |
| Tervingi | but you don't have to worry about a hassle getting it to work | 07:06 |
| Guest98268 | ok | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: yes, it is downloaded from the repos, it cannot be added to the ISO for licensing issues around the globe. Not all countries allow MP3 codecs etc | 07:06 |

| Guest98268 | Tervingi: so without wind/ vm i cant install this right? | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | captine: if you run: dmesg | grep -i blue is it mentioned? | 07:07 |
| Tervingi | If it is a regular Windows app, then you would need either Wine or Virtual Machine. | 07:07 |
| MirtheN | you can try using wine to install and run it, if it doesnt even get close to running using wine then you are stuck in a VM with windows | 07:07 |
| Tervingi | Virtual machine is the only option if you want the hardware acceleration you are mentioning for the picture and sound | 07:07 |
| Tervingi | Power DVD has linux software, perhaps they have a native version | 07:08 |

| ghrost | tab1293, down here | 17:31 |
| truexfan81 | are the ppas down also? | 17:31 |
| L3top | Frieds: look at all the bash scripts already on your machine. Run individual commands, figure out what they do. Do this in a virtual environment so if you destroy things you are safe. | 17:31 |
| Frieds | as long as I don't su/sudo myself | 17:31 |
| tab1293 | sandyd, how can i install a specific package and its deps from the Quantal repos? i would usually just go to packages.ubuntu.com | 17:31 |
| vikram | i installed moc (music on console ) from source ... but when i run it gives FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver | 17:31 |
| L3top | Frieds: thats were all the fun is :) | 17:31 |
| sandyd | tab1293, what package? | 17:31 |
| Frieds | I'm running this on a seperate box taht I can screw around with just to learn *nix again | 17:31 |

| datruth_ | Wow can't believe this is complicated | 17:31 |
| Frieds | I used to use FBSD years ago (think like 10+) so I'm loving the immersion in *nix culture again | 17:32 |

| KommaH | Hey all. I have a question. | 17:33 |

| Frieds | any good vmwares you can recommend then? | 17:33 |

| Aquethys | Guys I have a question! Trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 and on the step where I can boot into Ubuntu and then click the Install Ubuntu on the desktop. | 17:44 |
| Aquethys | Do I click install in windows or the other one | 17:45 |
| Aquethys | (choose a partition) | 17:45 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, what is your partition setup? | 17:46 |
| Aquethys | Err not sure. I think it's all C drive | 17:46 |
| Aquethys | for windows 8 | 17:46 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, then select windows | 17:46 |
| chewey | I've just screwed myself - with lots of help by EFI: After installing Ubuntu with an EFI parition, the F2 key is dead and the F12 key of the initial boot screen send me to a "graphical" boot menu only containing "ubuntu". | 17:47 |
| chewey | Any idea how I can get it to boot from an external drive again? | 17:47 |
| chewey | (it's a Fujitsu Lifebook AH532 NG) | 17:47 |
| OerHeks | Aquethys, windows8 isn't out yet, so why do you think we can help? | 17:48 |
| sandyd | *alongside windows | 17:48 |
| Aquethys | I will screenshot it and post it for you, just to be safe :P | 17:48 |
| Aquethys | Well it's similar to windows 7.. | 17:48 |
| Aquethys | Here's the partition thing | 17:49 |
| Aquethys | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/74356743/partitions.PNG | 17:49 |
| Aquethys | Install inside windows? | 17:49 |
| === mike is now known as Guest38860 | ||
| sandyd | Aquethys, you have the maximum amount of partitions for a MBR partition table | 17:49 |
| Aquethys | Is that bad? | 17:49 |
| Aquethys | can I remove one (like the unallocated? idk how that got there) | 17:50 |
| sandyd | well, you can't install Ubuntu on a partition Aquethys | 17:50 |
| Aquethys | so install alongside windows? | 17:50 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, you can only install via wubi I believe | 17:51 |
| OerHeks | you can, on 'unallocated' | 17:51 |
| Aquethys | oh | 17:51 |
| Aquethys | How big of a difference is there? | 17:51 |
| sandyd | OerHeks, I believe the uallocated is unpartitioned space | 17:51 |
| ghrost | sandyd, but like you said he can't use that partition | 17:51 |
| sandyd | ghrost, wubi | 17:52 |
| sandyd | installs inside windows. | 17:52 |
| The_Cog | All 4 primary partitions are used, so he can't get at the unused 23 Gig | 17:52 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, not sure, youll have to ask someone else | 17:52 |
| OerHeks | this screen is not from a wubi install, but the normal (sidebyside) install | 17:52 |
| ghrost | sandyd, MBR does not support more than 4 partitions | 17:52 |
| sandyd | Never used wubi | 17:52 |
| Aquethys | What's mbr | 17:52 |
| L3top | wubi is da debil. | 17:52 |
| L3top | Aquethys: master boot record | 17:52 |
| sandyd | ghrost, that is what I said | 17:52 |
| sandyd | which is why I am telling Aquethys to install via wubi | 17:52 |
| Aquethys | Oh | 17:52 |
| Aquethys | Okay | 17:52 |
| ghrost | sandyd, so he needs a extended partition | 17:53 |
| OerHeks | ghrost +1 | 17:53 |
| Aquethys | Well the point of me installing Ubuntu is to code Android so will it matter whether it's Wubi or not? | 17:53 |
| sandyd | because there is no other way Aquethys can install | 17:53 |
| Aquethys | I still would prefer a permanent | 17:53 |
| sandyd | You can't create an extended partition when you already have 4 partitions. | 17:53 |
| L3top | ghrost: +2 | 17:53 |
| Wild_Man | Aquethys the only way you can install without using wubi is to delete one of your primary partitions | 17:53 |
| ghrost | L3top, sorry I'm new here, what is that +number | 17:54 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, I would probably remove the HP tools partition | 17:54 |
| sandyd | and save the stuff from there | 17:54 |
| L3top | means I second your position ghrost | 17:54 |
| OerHeks | ghrost, +1 means we agree with you | 17:54 |
| Aquethys | Is that an important partition? | 17:54 |
| ghrost | L3top, :) | 17:54 |
| Wild_Man | Aquethys, usually people delete the recovery partition after making there recovery cd's of window | 17:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | ghrost, Usually "+1" means 'I agree'. | 17:54 |
| Aquethys | Oh could you walk me through that Wald Man | 17:54 |
| Aquethys | Wild* I need to do that :P | 17:55 |
| * L3top pretends there are two people here who agree. | 17:55 | |
| Sidewinder1 | ;-) | 17:55 |
| sandyd | :D | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | Wild_Man, I count 3 primaries , he can use the unallocated one , unless the recovery counts as aprimary | 17:55 |
| === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 | ||
| Aquethys | there's 3 primaries | 17:56 |
| Aquethys | At least that's what I see in the disk management | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | he's allowed 4 primaries | 17:56 |
| === matias is now known as Guest67796 | ||
| sandyd | wait, isn't system reserved one? | 17:56 |
| ghrost | Blueskaj, Recovery( Primary partition) | 17:56 |
| Aquethys | Oh | 17:56 |
| Aquethys | crud you're right sandy lol | 17:56 |
| Aquethys | Mousing over it it is primary | 17:57 |
| Aquethys | uh oh | 17:57 |
| Aquethys | so what's HP Tools used for? Can I just format it? | 17:57 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, so you should follow Wild_Man 's advice, and remove the recovery partition | 17:57 |
| sandyd | Assuming you have made recovery discs that is | 17:57 |
| Aquethys | How do I do that? Ihaven't yet | 17:57 |
| ghrost | Aquethys, it is usually diagnostic stuff | 17:57 |
| Aquethys | make a recovery disk | 17:57 |
| Wild_Man | Sandyd, I am sure it is a primary partition but it is hard to tell from the screenshot | 17:57 |
| Aquethys | I have an hp 4.7GB DVD now | 17:57 |
| sandyd | You can either remove the recovery or the HP tools partition. | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | ghrost, ok, but most ppl dump the windows recovery partition ..it's quite useless anyway | 17:58 |
| Kihokki | sandyd, I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1025719 but where are the updates then? | 17:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1025719 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] Package cedarview-vaapi-driver" [Wishlist,Fix released] | 17:58 |
| ghrost | BluesKaj, yes I think he can get rid of recovery andredieb hp_tools | 17:58 |
| Wild_Man | Aquethys, make sure to create your recovery cd's first | 17:58 |
| sandyd | Kihokki, hasn't been [aclaged yet | 17:58 |
| sandyd | *packaged | 17:58 |
| Aquethys | how? :| | 17:58 |
| Aquethys | it's 16GB and I have a bunch of 4.7GB CDs...is that okay? | 17:59 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01867124 | 17:59 |
| Wild_Man | Aquethys, type recovery cd into the help window and it will tell you how | 17:59 |
| sandyd | Aquethys, yes | 17:59 |
| Aquethys | thanks | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | ghrost, exactly | 17:59 |
| Kihokki | sandyd, Do you know when? I've waited this for about 3 months | 17:59 |
| sandyd | Kihokki, no idea, you will have to ask MOTU bout that | 18:00 |
| sandyd | or whoever is the maintainer of that package | 18:00 |

| samfromat | Newtothis, Just boot your computer with ubuntu media(cd/dvd) and follow installation method. choose the windows partition for installation. | 18:16 |
| k1l | Newtothis: the wubi isntall is just a container inside the windows partition. | 18:16 |
| eme442 | @Wild_Man: ok, thanx | 18:17 |
| Newtothis | samfromat: That's the thing, my computer doesn't like booting from the flash drive, and we can't get a CD to burn properly. | 18:17 |
| sandyd | Newtothis, can't get a cd to burn properly? | 18:18 |
| Jordan_U | Newtothis: How did you try to burn a CD? | 18:18 |
| sandyd | Newtothis, tried imgburn? http://www.imgburn.com/ | 18:18 |
| Newtothis | Ah. I had just used the windows one... | 18:19 |
| samfromat | Newtothis: if you want to say that you can't use any of the physical mediam to boot your computer, then there is network boot system. sombody other than me might help you. | 18:19 |
| fijil | hhi | 18:20 |
| nejode | Newtothis, you have to be careful when you burn the CD... make sure you burn it as "iso image" | 18:20 |
| Newtothis | I'm gonna see if I can't make the CD burn right this time... it might even be easier to burn it on Ubuntu itsself... | 18:21 |
| Sniper_5 | If anyone has some free time I could really use some help with Eclipse | 18:21 |
| loganrun | I am having issues with two new SATA hard drives. I am thinking it might be an issue with the Ubuntu drivers or something. Does anyone understand the errors in the dmesg log? http://pastebin.com/dVL54A4M | 18:21 |
| Jarrydx26 | Sniper_5 try Netbeans , its much less on errors than eclipse | 18:22 |
| Sniper_5 | Im trying to set up Android SDK and ADT | 18:22 |
| loganrun | I am thinking of trying an older version of ubuntu or something, not sure what to do | 18:22 |
| loganrun | I have tried switching around the cables, but that didn't help | 18:23 |
| sandyd | loganrun, its an interface problem | 18:23 |
| Sniper_5 | Does NetBeans accept the Android SDK and ADT like Eclipse? Im new to developing so I was going to use the guides for Eclipse which is why I chose that | 18:23 |
| sandyd | Either your interface has dust or something, or your HDDs are shot | 18:23 |
| loganrun | sandyd: is it a hardware or software issue though. issue with the motherboard cabels or what | 18:24 |
| sandyd | hardware | 18:24 |
| sandyd | loganrun, try swaping the sata cable | 18:24 |

| raven | how to mount partitions of a raw diskdump? | 18:24 |
| loganrun | sandyd: I hooked the harddrives up to another system through a eternal usb/sata interface and ran the seagate test on them and they came out fine | 18:24 |
| sandyd | loganrun, you have an intel sandybridge chipset? | 18:25 |
| Jarrydx26 | Sniper_5 i suggest netbeans , I'm sure there is an Android plugin avaliable for it , but its up to you :) | 18:25 |
| sandyd | what MB model is it? | 18:25 |
| loganrun | sandyd: i did try swapping the cables around and plugging them into different ports, but that didn't seem to solve it, the CPU is dual core Intel, should be in the dmesg log, forget teh actual make of it | 18:25 |
| Sniper_5 | Ill gladly try it Jarrydx26, Im open to anything right now because Im used to everything on 10.10, I cant get it working on Eclipse | 18:26 |
| loganrun | sandyd: the motherboard is gigabyte ga -965p-s3 | 18:27 |
| Guest35233 | hi | 18:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | Newtothis, First, md5sum your ISO to make sure it's correct; then, when burning, make sure to burn at the slowest speed. | 18:27 |
| sandyd | loganrun, we can't help you here, due to the fact that it isn't a ubuntu (software) problem | 18:27 |
| sandyd | The best thing to do is to call up Gigabyte, and ask them, or else ask in ##harware | 18:28 |
| loganrun | sandyd: o.k but I just wanted to make sure it was not a driver incompatibility issue with the motherboard, how can you tell | 18:28 |
| sandyd | *hardware | 18:28 |
| Guest35233 | i need new distro for ordinary work....any suggest?:) | 18:28 |
| loganrun | sandyd: o.k. I'll try on hardware | 18:29 |
| sandyd | loganrun, DRDY ERR, ICRC ABRT, and other errors in the dmesg are an indicator of either HW failure or problems | 18:29 |
| Guest35233 | ?! | 18:29 |
| Newtothis | I've Md5summed it before. I know it's the correct ISO. | 18:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | Newtothis, Did you burn it at the slowest speed? | 18:30 |
| Newtothis | I'm actually not sure. | 18:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | That's usually best. | 18:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | Newtothis, When burning a video, a misplaced bit, here and there isn't a big deal; in an entire operation system.. well. you know what I mean. ;) | 18:32 |

| gunarm | if I take my RAID drives out of my computer and put them in another computer, or just reformat the OS, my understanding is that as long as that computer has mdadm it will fix any problems in the array and bring it online, is it still this simple if I put an LVM layer on top of it? | 18:52 |
| ikonia | gunarm: no chance | 18:52 |
| Psi-Jack | ikonia: Software RAID, mdadm. :) | 18:52 |

| ikonia | still no chance with lvm on top | 18:52 |
| gunarm | Psi-Jack, thanks ;) | 18:52 |
| Psi-Jack | Pardon? | 18:52 |
| Psi-Jack | ikonia: With LVM on top, it's perfectly plausible/. | 18:52 |
| Psi-Jack | You just have to import them. | 18:53 |
| ikonia | I suspect the Vg's will not come on line | 18:53 |
| samfromat | i have these logs. What these means? http://pastebin.com/My3Pxmup | 18:53 |
| ikonia | you maybe ok if you do a vgexport before removing the disks and then a vgimport | 18:53 |
| NOsen | its more of a "do i dare" yes or no question | 18:53 |
| gunarm | Psi-Jack, but it sounds like even if its plausible it certainly adds a nontrivial amount of complication to the process | 18:53 |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: For the LVM portion, you'll need to /export/ the LVM volumes, before moving them. | 18:53 |
| Newtothis | I think it is... what's this keyboard equals man in a circle? | 18:54 |
| ikonia | Psi-Jack: all on board with that | 18:54 |
| gunarm | i think im just gonna avoid LVM since i dont really need it anyway, i was just considering it for future flexibility | 18:54 |
| Psi-Jack | LVM is nice, and worthwhile. | 18:54 |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipemovevgtonewsys.html | 18:54 |
| Newtothis | Wait... that's gone... okay. I'll just let it do its thing for now. | 18:54 |
| Psi-Jack | ikonia: So, there you go. LVM moved to another system. ;) | 18:56 |
| ikonia | Psi-Jack: I don't disagree if you do an export first | 18:56 |
| Psi-Jack | hehe | 18:57 |

| smw | Newtothis, you will lose all your programs, settings, an documents in windows | 19:02 |

| nabam | hi, I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, wifi doesn't seem to work. The output of 'rfkill list all' showed that my wifi was hard blocked. Pressing the wifi button doesn't seem to let me get around this. My laptop model is compaq prescario cq50-115nr and I'm using ubuntu 10.04 i386 | 19:23 |
| nabam | how can I enable my wifi? | 19:23 |
| devslash | ActionParsnip: thats the output for dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | devslash: what is the output of: uname -a | 19:24 |

| devslash | yea | 19:25 |
| Moonlightning | nabam: my laptops onboard Wi-Fi didn't work out of the box under Debian, and I think it doesn't work out of the box under Ubuntu, either | 19:25 |
| devslash | is there anything else i can safely purge | 19:25 |
| Moonlightning | IIRC, though, it was just a simple `apt-get install` that did it for me. I don't remember what package it was, though 6_9 | 19:25 |

| threex5 | Hi, is there any way to boot Ubuntu in 32/64 bit mode? I want to run from a USB, in 64 bit, but be able to run in 32 bit mode if I'm on a 32 bit computer | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | threex5: there are apps to make multiboot USBs | 19:47 |
| tiberio_d | if ubuntu on your netbook is too slow you could try Lubuntu | 19:48 |
| threex5 | ActionParsnip, thanks. I would like to have all my folders/settings intact, though | 19:49 |
| threex5 | meaning, I would be booting from a 32 or 64 bit kernel, but the desktop would be the same | 19:49 |
| threex5 | I don't know if that's now it works, though. | 19:49 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest11760 | ||
| jc_ | well you can try xubuntu or lubuntu, but it depends of your ram | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | threex5: you could have a common /home partition on the USB which would give settings for both boots... | 19:50 |
| Moonlightning | I'm…really not sure how to describe this other than “the display is messed up” 6_9 | 19:51 |
| cellofellow | threex5: that'd be the way to do it, but'd it be hard to pull off. | 19:51 |
| Moonlightning | The…colors are all wrong…and…the whole thing has a sort of grainy quality?… | 19:51 |
| threex5 | Well, ActionParsnip was on to something | 19:51 |
| auronandace | Moonlightning: screenshots to the rescue! | 19:51 |
| Moonlightning | I can hardly see any of the graphics, or read any of the text… | 19:51 |
| fggg | hello | 19:51 |
| Moonlightning | …ah, yes, of cousre. | 19:52 |
| threex5 | and if I use portable linux apps, I could run them out of the home partition too | 19:52 |

| auronandace | !wine | fggg | 19:52 |

| Moonlightning | …agh, how do I take a screenshot? | 19:52 |
| threex5 | I figure if I have a 64 bit desktop and laptop, I'm wasting CPU not to | 19:52 |
| Guest9431 | best gnome distro? | 19:52 |
| Guest9431 | like chkra | 19:52 |
| FreeMansMind | tiberio_d what is missing in Lubuntu? I mean what makes it work faster? | 19:52 |
| OerHeks | Moonlight hit the printscreen button | 19:52 |
| auronandace | threex5: if your hardware supports it then there is little reason not to run 64bit | 19:53 |
| Moonlightning | Don't have one. | 19:53 |
| jagginess | anyone has tried desura? | 19:53 |
| Moonlightning | This is an old PowerBook G4… | 19:53 |

| samfromat | :FreeMansMing: There shouldn't be any problem with your video card drivers. tell what problems are you facing. | 19:53 |
| threex5 | auronandace: right. The only reason I can see is that I'm running on a USB stick so I might want to boot off a computer that's not 64, once in a while. | 19:54 |
| tiberio_d | FreeMansMind Lubuntu uses LXDE instead of GNOME | 19:55 |
| auronandace | threex5: then you'll want to stick to 32, since it will work on both | 19:55 |
| fggg | sorry,is there a irc chanell about wine? | 19:55 |
| fggg | sorry,is there a irc chanell about wine? | 19:55 |
| FreeMansMind | samfromat; No specific trouble here. It's just acting like Windows, Maybe I dreamed wrong about ubuntu, dunno. I was expecting faster and lighter moves. Folders are not opening faster then Windows can. | 19:55 |
| auronandace | fggg: #winehq | 19:55 |
| fggg | always in freenod? | 19:56 |
| auronandace | fggg: yes, its on freenode | 19:56 |
| FreeMansMind | its just only faster on starting pc. or shutting down. Rest is acting just like Windows. this is why I am thinking that something might be wrong. dunno | 19:56 |
| samfromat | FreeMansMind:Thats definitely not a video card issue. how long are you using ubuntu? | 19:57 |
| skorv | hello | 19:58 |
| FreeMansMind | samfromat been used old version for a month but the last version is since yesterday | 19:58 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: perhaps you need to try a lighter weight desktop environment. unity is fairly heavy. | 19:58 |
| xuserr | hello | 19:59 |
| Moonlightning | The screenshot doesn't seem to reflect the issue, except for the wallpaper. | 19:59 |
| Moonlightning | Which…is that /supposed/ to be like that?… | 20:00 |
| threex5 | auronandace: how much of a performance hit do you take running 32 bit ubuntu on a 64 bit machine? | 20:00 |
| skorv | strugling with full disk encryption and dual boot dont know where to install grub (cannot be /dev/sda) | 20:00 |
| threex5 | I don't really see the difference | 20:00 |
| Moonlightning | In any case, just imagine the /whole thing/ looks like the wallpaper. XD | 20:00 |
| Moonlightning | hang on… | 20:00 |
| threex5 | but I don't know what I'm looking for either | 20:00 |
| samfromat | FreeMansMide: as crimsonmane told you, use another envionment or in my opinion try other ubuntu derivatives, best choice maybe something like linux mint. | 20:00 |
| tiberio_d | the main difference with 32 bit os on 64 bit computer would be ram limit | 20:00 |
| xuserr | does anyone know a alternative to tor,browser? a program used to change ip for linux ? | 20:01 |
| auronandace | threex5: i think it depends on what you are doing, everyday use i would say is negligable | 20:01 |
| xuserr | tor browser* | 20:01 |
| Moonlightning | xuserr: there are TOR clients for Linux | 20:01 |
| FreeMansMind | crimsonmane: shall I try Gnome? | 20:01 |
| TaJMoX | Does anyone here use rhythmbox with a mp3 player (not Android or iPod) ? | 20:01 |
| xuserr | i want another program like tor | 20:02 |
| threex5 | ok. The most resource-intensive thing I would run on it would be gimp | 20:02 |
| threex5 | if that gives you any idea | 20:02 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: Lubuntu | 20:02 |
| threex5 | The most ambitious think I would like to do with it is run Reaper through wine | 20:02 |
| auronandace | threex5: then you won't notice a difference | 20:02 |
| threex5 | but I use 32 bit reaper anyway | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | xuserr: could use a vpn | 20:02 |
| threex5 | ok | 20:02 |
| FreeMansMind | samfromat can I do anything with mint that I do in ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| crimsonmane | you can do anything on mint that you can do in ubuntu | 20:02 |
| xuserr | ActionParsnip: xuserr: could use a vpn ? | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xuserr: why do you need tor? | 20:03 |
| threex5 | great I'm glad I asked. I'm looking at the ubuntu website now and getting mixed messages about installing to USB | 20:03 |
| xuserr | yes | 20:03 |
| Mothra | How do I fix the promisions on my ubuntu account I have some files that I do not have promissions for even after running chown command of the entire home folder in terminal as sudo anyone able to help me | 20:03 |
| threex5 | Can I not simply burn a disc, boot from it, then install my partitions to usb like I would any other drive? | 20:03 |
| crimsonmane | Mothra: you're not supposed to run chown like that. you broke it. reinstall. | 20:03 |
| xuserr | my ip is banned on some irc networks | 20:04 |
| auronandace | threex5: yes | 20:04 |
| samfromat | FreeMansMind:You can do everything with mint. in fact you can do anything in every linux distro. | 20:04 |
| FreeMansMind | Can't disable Unity? | 20:04 |
| xuserr | so i want a program to change my ip | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | FreeMansMind: install a different shell or desktop and it won't be loaded | 20:04 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: log out, click the gear icon next to your name, and select 2d mode | 20:04 |
| Moonlightning | Imagine the /entire/ screen has an overlay like the wallpaper here: http://cl.ly/IqDo | 20:04 |
| macmartine | How do I keep ubuntu from emailing the admin email with certain log messages? It keeps emailing me for some things that I want to ignore | 20:05 |
| Dr_Willis | hm | 20:05 |

| Mothra | crimsonmane I can reinstall but how will that correct my promission of files in my home folder | 20:13 |
| Num83rGuy | graingert: Ha, ha. | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | FreeMansMind, Those releases can be installed by themselves by downloading their ISO's | 20:14 |
| crimsonmane | Mothra: i suppose you can delete your user account and create a new one... that would be faster | 20:14 |

| cellofellow | heh, no kidding | 20:15 |
| cellofellow | *nix, especially when root, gives you a lot of rope to hang yourself. | 20:16 |
| Num83rGuy | graingert: There are lots of ways to do audio on linux and there are several recent distros thay don't use pulse and work perfectly fine. | 20:16 |
| Mothra | so just because some personal files are in the promission of some non established account I cant correct them I have to reinstall the entire opperating system again | 20:16 |
| Moonlightning | Doesn't make sense to me. ^ | 20:16 |
| graingert | Num83rGuy: it's the way to do audio on ubuntu | 20:16 |
| Mothra | that seems like a huge hassle | 20:16 |
| graingert | anything else isn't supported | 20:16 |
| FreeMansMind | well then I should ask a final question. if I install Lubuntu Xbuntu or Kubuntu will they work much faster and with much less RAM and CPU usage when I even run a video in youtube. Or run a couple of program at the same time or open like 10 websites atm. | 20:16 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: you can `chown` things owned by a nonexistent account | 20:16 |
| Moonlightning | Just like you would `chown` anything else. | 20:17 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: add a new account, an Administrator account, log into that and sudo chown -R youruser ~youruser. | 20:17 |
| cellofellow | then you can delete the old account | 20:17 |

| graingert | you're welcome | 20:18 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: old account | 20:18 |

| Mothra | the non existant account? | 20:18 |
| trism | graingert: we have thewidgetfactory in the repo, but it is gtk2 only, https://github.com/valr/awf is a fork for both gtk2 and gtk3 | 20:19 |

| Moonlightning | If your account is called mothra, make a new account (we'll call it new), log into the new account, do `sudo chown -R mothra ~mothra`, then delete 'new' | 20:19 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: grep 1001 /etc/passwd | 20:19 |
| FreeMansMind | samfromat just wondering why so many people choosing ubuntu instead of another version that works with lxde. I can not figure it out cause I am so lost about Linux and new | 20:19 |
| Dr_Willis | lxde is limited and simplufied in some areas | 20:20 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: it's due to lack of being informed. | 20:20 |
| === tempodivalse is now known as tempodivalse|afk | ||
| Dr_Willis | you can install both feskyops if you want | 20:21 |
| Mothra | cellowfellow that command did nothing, after I run that command can I just take control of the files on my new account? | 20:21 |
| Mothra | @Moonlightning | 20:21 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: which did nothing, grep or chown? | 20:21 |
| Mothra | grep | 20:21 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: ok, user 1001, whichever it was, is deleted. It needs to be added back. | 20:21 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: can you use `sudo` from your current account? | 20:21 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: if you can, all this other stuff is completely unnecessary. | 20:22 |
| Mothra | moonlightning I used it with sudo | 20:22 |
| Mothra | and my account is adminstrative | 20:22 |
| Moonlightning | sudo chown $USER ~ | 20:22 |
| Moonlightning | whoops | 20:22 |
| Moonlightning | sudo chown -R $USER ~ | 20:22 |
| Moonlightning | ^ that should fix it | 20:22 |
| FreeMansMind | crimsonmane so deleting ubuntu and installing lubuntu or linux mint instead not like deleting Windows 7 and installing WIndows XP to make netbook work faster? Its not installing something less nicer right? | 20:22 |
| graingert | trism: I need it for quantal :( | 20:22 |

| samfromat | FreeMansMind: if you have noticed, lots of ubuntu users were unhappy with unity interface(including me). but the thing is unity can work out of the box with sufficient ram and video card. and its just the personel interest. you have to try everything and then stick with something that works nice for you. | 20:22 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: you may need to sudo adduser --uid 1001 youruser yourgroup | 20:23 |
| cellofellow | if it's not in /etc/passwd | 20:23 |
| Dr_Willis | i use unity on this box. the wife uses lxde | 20:23 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: if you do mint, you need LXDE | 20:23 |
| trism | graingert: it doesn't build on quantal? | 20:23 |
| xangua | (15:20:29) Dr_Willis: lxde is limited and simplufied in some areas - also a 'netbook' is very limited in resources FreeMansMind | 20:23 |
| graingert | trism: PPA :* | 20:23 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: whatever you do, go with LXDE spin of that distro | 20:23 |
| graingert | :(* | 20:23 |
| trism | graingert: oh I just built it, it is pretty straightforward and you don't need to install it | 20:24 |
| Moonlightning | cellofellow: is that /realy/ necessary? | 20:24 |
| Dr_Willis | xangua: unity runs well on my 2netbooks | 20:24 |
| cellofellow | Moonlightning: probably not | 20:24 |
| FreeMansMind | ok but wich one :) | 20:24 |
| Moonlightning | cellofellow: then why are you saying to do it? :V | 20:24 |
| FreeMansMind | Lubuntu or Mint or Kubuntu wich is the best | 20:24 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: try. them. ALL. | 20:24 |
| Moonlightning | …you know what, I'm just going to test this. | 20:24 |
| xangua | Dr_Willis: unity runs well on my 4 years old notebook :) no idea why people say it's slow | 20:24 |
| cellofellow | Moonlightning: I was confused, figured it out. | 20:24 |
| FreeMansMind | crimsonmane do they all work in USB Drive to test? | 20:24 |
| Moonlightning | Okay, here we go. | 20:24 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: what's your current $UID? (echo $UID) | 20:25 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: yes. | 20:25 |
| Mothra | so I should run the command sudo chown -R $USER ~ with my current user account or with a new one or with the old one that doesnt seem to exist | 20:25 |
| Dr_Willis | FreeMansMind: yiu can install the ubuntu.lubuntu and kubuntu desktops on a single install and easially switch | 20:25 |
| dgsafewright | I am running 12.04 on a macbook pro 8.1 | 20:25 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: just run that command, no need to do anything else. | 20:25 |
| Moonlightning | sudo chown -R $USER ~ | 20:25 |
| Mothra | @Moonlightning 1000 | 20:25 |
| Moonlightning | You should be able to direct copypasta it. | 20:25 |
| dgsafewright | runs better than osx and its supported until 2017... | 20:25 |
| FreeMansMind | Dr_Willis: how? | 20:25 |
| cellofellow | Mothra: I'm with Moonlightning. I'll leave him to help, as I seem to be gumming things up. | 20:25 |
| graingert | trism: I'm too lasy to compile | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | same as you install anything else.. the pavkage manager | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | FreeMansMind: lubuntu-desktop for lubuntu | 20:26 |
| dgsafewright | Dr._Willis what are you asking how about? | 20:26 |
| FreeMansMind | It will ask me to install it alingside to Windows and Ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| crimsonmane | FreeMansMind: even better, you can sudo-apt-get lxde-desktop | 20:26 |
| Moonlightning | Okay. | 20:26 |
| crimsonmane | or whatever the package is called | 20:26 |
| Moonlightning | I just tested this. | 20:26 |

| Mothra | moonlightning yes | 20:32 |
| graingert | Psi-Jack: not my idea | 20:32 |

| Dr_Willis | wayland is not in the next release default either | 20:34 |
| brennan | how do you run a dos/windows executable file??? | 20:34 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: if you're getting a permission-denied as root, I honestly don't know what to tell you… | 20:34 |
| Moonlightning | Is this ~/.gvfs important to you at all? | 20:34 |
| Psi-Jack | brennan: dosemu, for dos, wine for Windows. | 20:34 |

| Psi-Jack | brennan: aptitude install wine | 20:34 |
| Moonlightning | Ignore the error for now, maybe ask about it later? | 20:35 |
| Moonlightning | Did you get any other errors? | 20:35 |

| Dr_Willis | this is not debian | 20:35 |
| Psi-Jack | Dr_Willis: you be backwards. ;) | 20:35 |
| Moonlightning | Advocated: as far as I know, you have to use Xcode. | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !aptitude | 20:36 |
| ubottu | 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. | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | Psi-Jack, only when you run 64 bit, aptitude wrecks your system | 20:36 |
| Moonlightning | If there's an Xcode port for Ubuntu, great. If not, I guess you're out of luck. | 20:36 |
| FreeMansMind | crimsonmane: I am back. 2D look very simple to me... CPU usage wasnt so different. It was about %20 | 20:36 |
| Moonlightning | There's probably something somewhere to get them to expand to Linux, though. Try googling it? | 20:36 |
| Mothra | Moonlightning are you talking to me when you are refering to getting other error? That is the only output I have gotten from the commands I have run | 20:36 |
| Advocated | Moonlightning, how about virtualbox type thing with osx on? or same problems? | 20:36 |
| Moonlightning | Mothra: you should be fine, then, I guess, except for that one directory|file. | 20:37 |
| FreeMansMind | I may like ubuntu more with different dock maybe. Dr_Willis would you please tell me again? | 20:37 |
| brennan | Psi-Jack, do i have to do anything besides what your telling me? | 20:37 |
| AndreP | Hello all, i maight need a little bit n00b help, but im fucking my brains in this | 20:37 |

| crimsonmane | endafy: what are your computer specs? | 20:41 |
| Moonlightning | As you've seen today, not even a borked-up `chown` on your home dir is cause for a reinstall. ;) | 20:42 |

| AndreP | Desktop! ;) | 20:43 |
| === Guest98234 is now known as theDboy | ||
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: So your system isn't booting off the USB, then. | 20:43 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: Go into BIOS, change boot order to include USB over HDD and/or CD, boot USB. | 20:44 |
| theDboy | I have seen *.deb files | 20:44 |
| theDboy | but this is the first time I have come across a deb.run file | 20:44 |
| AndreP | Yes, it booted when i unnistalled windows 7 for a complete clean install of Ubuntu 12... after 10 minutes i screwed up and i want to reeinstall the Ubuntu... i did exactly the same thing, but instead of entering the Menu of installing, like the first time, it goes straight to the OS | 20:44 |
| crimsonmane | Moonlightning: reinstall would have been faster, just sayin. | 20:44 |
| AndreP | ok, will try it again | 20:45 |
| theDboy | I tried Gdebi and commanline sh, but no dice | 20:45 |
| theDboy | any ideas? | 20:45 |
| Moonlightning | crimsonmane: I don't see how reinstalling is faster than `sudo chown -R $USER ~` :P | 20:45 |
| crimsonmane | Moonlightning: it was when he was here for an hour | 20:45 |
| Moonlightning | crimsonmane: installing Ubuntu took more than an hour for me | 20:46 |
| crimsonmane | takes me ten minutes | 20:46 |
| AndreP | USB is first, but he seems to ignore it, and enters in the OS and goes to the Desktop | 20:46 |
| Moonlightning | And I think most of that hour was people giving him misinformation. >.> | 20:46 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: Then the USB is damaged causing it to fail to boot. | 20:46 |
| Mothra | moonlight thanks for clearing that up so I need'nt worry about it | 20:46 |
| Moonlightning | You're welcome *chuckles* | 20:46 |
| AndreP | that would be possible, if i havnt used it 10 minutes ago to install the Ubuntu XD | 20:47 |
| AndreP | is there any other thing that may be causing this? | 20:47 |

| arooni-mobile | hi folks; ive been trying for hours to duplicate a simple HTTP POST request over HTTPS for website login that i can make with command line curl (it works). when i try with http-client (ruby lib) it doesnt log me in. obviously theres something different about the requests... how can i see what the difference is? | 20:48 |
| AndreP | okay :) thank you, will try to install again BOOT in the pen, or try with another Pen ;) | 20:48 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: You should /completely/ erase the USB disk, do a full format on it, wipe it, and re-install the Ubuntu Desktop images to it as you did before. | 20:48 |
| AndreP | thank you :) | 20:48 |
| AndreP | okay, will do it :) thank you ;) | 20:49 |
| arooni-mobile | hahaha nevermind; solved it! i was POSTing to the wrong URL!!! stupid arooni-mobile !!! | 20:50 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: Now, the better question is. If you installed Ubuntu 10 minutes ago, why are you trying to do so again, immediately after? | 20:50 |
| crimsonmane | Psi-Jack: he borked the username stuff | 20:50 |
| Psi-Jack | That doesn't require a reinstall. | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | nope | 20:51 |
| AndreP | Because i want to change the Username, PC Name and the Password | 20:51 |

| brennan | Psi-Jack, what am i supposed to do with wine? | 20:51 |
| theDboy | could I just change the name form deb.run to just .deb? | 20:51 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: Fix the USB disk, and use it to boot into recovery mode, instead of reinstalling. | 20:51 |
| Psi-Jack | brennan: As I said, for Wine support, your channel is #winehq | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | Psi-Jack: he doesn't even need to do that | 20:51 |
| AndreP | yeah, im already fixing the USB, will do all from the beggining | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | AndreP: reboot, hold the shift key until you get the gub, and select recovery | 20:52 |
| Psi-Jack | AndreP: Okay. Please do not ask for help when you don't want help. Good day. | 20:52 |

| gunarm | Psi-Jack, does this contribute anything useful? http://pastebin.com/7NVfeVvK | 21:01 |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: Hmmm, no. All looks normal. What about dmesg | grep md0 | 21:02 |
| bro0 | hello | 21:02 |
| bro0 | is anyone else having problems installing grub to intel software raid | 21:02 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: Software RAID? Or Fake Raid? Sounds more like fake raid. | 21:03 |
| Psi-Jack | And If so, you shouldn't install grub to such things. | 21:03 |
| brennan | ActionParsnip, i need to know how to run a Dos/windows executable file? | 21:03 |
| bro0 | Psi-Jack: i have a raid 0 i want to install mint on. somehow the grub installation fails all the time | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | wine foo.exe | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | brennan: the file neds t be marked as executable. I suggest uou check the appdb for compatibility before you start | 21:04 |
| gunarm | Psi-Jack, http://pastebin.com/mDsPZFVx | 21:04 |
| bro0 | but currently no one knows a solution in mint chat | 21:04 |
| * crimsonmane admits he doesn't even know what RAID is... is that where you have a PCI card that your HDD's plug into? | 21:04 | |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: And the output of mount | grep md0? | 21:05 |
| tiberio_d | raid is two hard disks mirroring data or something | 21:05 |
| mauk | crimsonmane: check wikipedia... | 21:05 |
| brennan | whats an appdb? and i did make the file executable in properties | 21:05 |
| bro0 | 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA Controller [RAID mode] (rev 05) | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: i suggest you research, its very cool :) | 21:05 |
| Psi-Jack | tiberio_d: Incorrect. | 21:05 |
| brennan | ActionParsnip, ^ | 21:05 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: That's FAKE raid. | 21:05 |
| geirha | crimsonmane: raid is when you combine two or more disks to act as one disk | 21:05 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: And again, you should not be installing grub to such things. | 21:05 |
| tiberio_d | actually i'm right | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | brennan: search and you will find. I promise | 21:05 |
| tiberio_d | i said it's something and it is | 21:05 |
| Psi-Jack | tiberio_d: No, actually, you are not right. | 21:05 |
| bro0 | Psi-Jack: well i dont have any other besides some usb stick xD | 21:05 |
| tiberio_d | so it isn't anything? ok | 21:05 |
| * crimsonmane doesn't see the point to RAID | 21:06 | |
| ActionParsnip | brennan: if the file is stored on an NTFS partition you cannot change the access on the fly, nor can you just run apps installed in Windows in a dual boot | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: you get redundancy. If one drive fails the data is still accessible | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: there is a LOT of point to raid# | 21:06 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: Buy a new HDD, or carve out a boot partition and RAID the rest, and better yet, do not use FAKE raid at all. Use mdadm at best. | 21:06 |
| gunarm | Psi-Jack, http://pastebin.com/yp1tMjmc | 21:06 |
| brennan | ok i will stop trying ActionParsnip | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: if you have oly one drive and it dies, the server is toast | 21:06 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, to have total redundancy, how many drives do you need? | 21:07 |
| bro0 | what is mdadm? i was using win7 on this machine so far | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: define 'total redundancy' | 21:07 |
| geirha | crimsonmane: One type of raid, is when you have two harddrives mirroring each other. They'll act as one disk, both disks will contain the same data. So, when one disk fails, you can simply replace it without losing any data. | 21:07 |
| bro0 | does ubuntu come with it? | 21:07 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: mdadm is Linux's software RAIDE. | 21:07 |
| Psi-Jack | -E | 21:07 |
| * crimsonmane now sees RAID as a server thing, and wonders if there's a point to using it at home. | 21:07 | |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | brennan | 21:07 |
| ubottu | brennan: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 21:07 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, well, assuming you lose 1 drive, and still retain all your data | 21:07 |
| gunarm | crimsonmane, depends how hardcore you are with your stuff at home | 21:07 |
| Shinobi | can someone tell me how to replace unity with gnome 3. All the articles on the web I've read don't work. | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: you cn use raid0 (which isn't actually raid, it just uses the same technology) to use 2 drives to make one logical volume for speed | 21:08 |
| * crimsonmane has seen a server tower with HDD bays that can be removed without shutting down the computer. liked it lots. | 21:08 | |
| zykotick9 | !notunity | Shinobi | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: at least 2 in raid1 | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Shinobi: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 21:08 |
| Psi-Jack | crimsonmane: I run 4 6 servers at home, plus 2 backup NAS units. | 21:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Shinobi: in 12.04 ? | 21:08 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, ok | 21:08 |
| crimsonmane | Psi-Jack: you have quite a library of media then, dont ya | 21:08 |
| Psi-Jack | crimsonmane: No, 4 servers run as my hypervisors for servers. the 2 remaining are SAN servers. | 21:09 |
| Psi-Jack | Which provide the disks for the hypervisors. | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: as the drives are identical, the single drive will then be the only active drive, once you replac it the data will be copied over (rebuilt) then become active | 21:09 |
| bro0 | Psi-Jack: what do you mean by carving out some boot partition | 21:09 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: I meant exactly what I said. | 21:09 |
| bro0 | how would you exactly partition the drives in my case? | 21:09 |
| Shinobi | yeah 12.04 | 21:09 |
| Shinobi | what's with the ! before packages? | 21:09 |
| bro0 | (2x2 tbyte) raid 0 | 21:09 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, ok, but Raid1 will speed up data retrieval, will it? | 21:09 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: In simpleton, make a 200 MB partition, at the beginning of the drive, and the rest, do with as you wish, RAID it, LVM on top of RAID, etc. | 21:10 |
| Shinobi | Ubuntu shell only seems to install the fallback... there seems to be no difference. | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: you can mix raid levels too, like raid 1+0 requires at least 4 disks to make 1 volume. its a raid1 but duplicated for speed | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: raid1 is the same access time as a single drive | 21:10 |
| bro0 | Psi-Jack: so grub can install to a single drive? | 21:10 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, i see | 21:10 |
| Psi-Jack | bro0: Uhh.. Of course. | 21:10 |
| bro0 | alright, i didnt know that! | 21:10 |
| Shinobi | Dr_willis: for got o add your name see above. | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: raid0 is for speed but if a drive fails your data is gone | 21:10 |

| Moonlightning | Is there a way to automatically lock a tty after some specified idle time? | 21:12 |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: Hmmm.. | 21:12 |
| W4sp | bro0: Install GRUB on all drives that a part of your RAID array. | 21:12 |
| Psi-Jack | gunarm: Yeah, that's very wierd.. There's no viable explaination as to why that could happen, on an ext4 filesystem. | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: kinda but if one drive dies then the system is stilll accessible, giving you time to replace the drive | 21:12 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, ok, yes | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: theres a youtube vid wit 24 x Samsung SSD drives as a single volume in RAID, its super fast | 21:14 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, would you have the url? | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dWOEa4Djs | 21:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Toph2: skip to 1:30 to skip to yadda yada | 21:15 |
| gunarm | Psi-Jack, the drives are basically all brand new, i made the raid array, unplugged a drive and it built my hot swap successfully (as a test), i did mkfs.ext4 on the file system, i just havent been able to actually write any data on it, but ok ill go to the forums, the worst part is that the whole point of this is to protect my data, and in the process i've already spent 1100$s and even going to the point of unplugging the data drives to w | 21:16 |
| gunarm | ork on the raid drives, ive still managed to wipe 1/3rd of my precious data, and still dont even have a working raid array ;( | 21:16 |
| gunarm | heh thanks anyway htough | 21:16 |

| W4sp | Kihokki: What OS and version do you have? | 21:18 |
| W4sp | Toph2: OK, fine then. Do not take advice seriously that tells you that you don't need backup if you have RAID of any level. :-) | 21:19 |
| Kihokki | W4sp, Ubuntu 12.04 | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: see how much faster the OS is using RAID, the HDD storage is a serious bottleneck in systems | 21:21 |
| Toph2 | W4sp,,, you are suggesting that even with a Raid setup, one should backup? | 21:21 |
| v1c3 | hello! how can i see the crc-32 checksum of a file? | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: yes, always backup to an external storage or system or tape etc | 21:21 |
| Toph2 | ok | 21:21 |
| gunarm | Toph2, have you ever read ANYTHING about raid, "Raid is not backup" is said so many times its basically an annoying cliche, how do you not know that? | 21:21 |
| zykotick9 | v1c3: crc or md5? | 21:22 |
| Dr_Willis | can i raid my backups? | 21:22 |
| gunarm | if your computer gets fried, your raid array won't help you | 21:22 |
| Toph2 | gunarm,,, i have a general feeling of what Raid is, but am learning | 21:22 |
| gunarm | if your house burns down | 21:22 |
| W4sp | Toph2: I suggest it firmly. ;-) Yes. | 21:22 |
| v1c3 | crc | 21:23 |
| v1c3 | zykotick9, crc | 21:23 |
| gunarm | the raid array keeps you up and running, but to really protect your stuff, a backup is more important, something not usually connected to your computer, and preferably kept at another physical location | 21:23 |

| daniel-fold | Hi everyone, does anyone has some experience with Doctrine 2? | 21:26 |
| gunarm | Toph2, currently i am ashamed to say I don't have a backup, but that will change when I get the money, too much data for online backup, so ill have to buy another 10tb of drives and do a weekly rsync and then take the backups to work for safe keeping | 21:27 |

| zally666 | its the driver | 21:49 |
| zally666 | paste.ubuntu.com/1154311/ Artemis3 | 21:49 |
| Artemis3 | zally666, you don't need sudo with tvtime | 21:49 |
| shade34321 | W4sp: it's a corded USB mouse...I will | 21:49 |
| Artemis3 | zally666, only your user must belong to the proper group | 21:49 |

| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:35 |
| bmanuel | !notunity | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:36 |
| isopov | I don't remember who suggested that and I restarted since and chatzilla seems to not have history - but thanks for gmtp instead of mtp - it is very intuitive comparing to terminal commands and mouting both internal memory and sd-card together into one folder (and both a mounted partially - not all files and folders are accessible) - thanks a lot. | 22:36 |

| TaJMoX | ActionParsnip no, it's rw but owner is listed as root. And sudo chown user isn't changing the owner (ntfs problem probably?) | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | blaggard: !things trigger the bot to spit out frequently needed answers and responzes. :) | 22:37 |
| blaggard | ok, so I gotta be honest, I just started using IRC so a lot of the small stuff slips past me | 22:38 |

| TaJMoX | Dr_Willis Any idea why nautilus won't move it to .Trash-1000 but it will move it wherever I want if I drag/drop it? | 22:39 |

| blaggard | TajMox: have you tried mv to trash via terminal? | 22:40 |
| TaJMoX | Advocated trying to delete a file "Cannot move file to trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?" | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TaJMoX: permissions on the root of the mounted drive perhaps. How was it mounted? by you and fstab? or auto-mounted? The ntfs-config tool may set it to mount with more open permissions that let you do it. | 22:40 |
| blaggard | also, try running it as sudo | 22:40 |
| TaJMoX | blaggard I can move it, but pressing DELETE won't work =\ | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TaJMoX: I normally hate finding .Trash-XXXXX directories on my ntfs/vfat partions and usb drives. :) | 22:40 |
| TaJMoX | blaggard Yes as root it won't move to trash either. | 22:41 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis, does that happen a lot? | 22:41 |
| TaJMoX | Dr_Willis So all files will be deleted permanently then using NTFS filesystem?? | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: happens enough where its annoying.. but now a days ubuntu asks to empty the trash befor removeing my USB. | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | TaJMoX: it COULD be since ntfs cant set the owner of the files/dirs as the current user deleteing the file. its failing.. ive never noticed the issie on ntfs.. let me look | 22:42 |
| TaJMoX | Only reason it's ntfs is so I can share with other computers in the house ... I guess I'll just change to ext4 and set up samba ... Dr_Willis blaggard Advocated | 22:42 |
| silverarrow | oh, yes I am with you, I rememeber | 22:42 |
| i7c | does ubuntu server offer disk encryption in the installation process? | 22:42 |
| TaJMoX | i7c yes, you have the option to encrypt your home folder | 22:42 |
| i7c | TaJMoX: thx for the info :) | 22:43 |
| TaJMoX | i7c there is a check box during install =) np | 22:43 |
| i7c | nice! | 22:43 |

| ChogyDan | blaggard: last I heard, no. But wasn't it post 3.2 kernel? | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | blaggard: ive never had any issues with it.. i imagine it depends on the exact chipset/hardware | 22:44 |
| TaJMoX | Dr_Willis I just noticed when I run nautilus as root, it DOES move the files to .Trash-0 ... but as user, it doesn't move it to .Trash-1000 | 22:44 |
| blaggard | I am just concerned, as i am due for a new laptop, and just want the stupid simple useability from 11.04/gnome2 back | 22:45 |
| TaJMoX | blaggard isn't compiling your own kernel the best way to go always? | 22:45 |

| blaggard | TaJMoX: I heard that changing kernels tends to break something in apparmor | 22:47 |
| TaJMoX | blaggard Well that sucks ... I just recently came back to Linux after about 6 years, I was planning on compiling my kernel soon (since I've noticed some cpu issues) | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not needed to use a custom kernel in years... | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | theres experimental/ppas for some newer/updated kernels. | 22:48 |
| TaJMoX | I notice a lot of performance/stability when using a custom kernel... but may be placebo | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !kernel | 22:48 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 22:48 |
| TaJMoX | The point is, compiling your own kernel will write it for the machine code for your specific architecture (Core 2 duo for example) ... right? | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | TaJMoX: not always. | 22:49 |
| ChogyDan | TaJMoX: I heard that stuff is loaded at compile time now adays | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | TaJMoX: i doubt if you will notice much gain from messing with the kernel. | 22:50 |
| TaJMoX | It used to help ... shrug. | 22:50 |
| Dr_Willis | used to be 512mb was a lot of ram.... | 22:50 |
| blaggard | my understanding is the issue has to do with the kernel not being able to throttle the hardware properly. | 22:50 |
| TaJMoX | Speaking of CPU, anyone notice that plugin-container uses an incredible amount of CPU? Even if it's just a small flash running | 22:50 |
| blaggard | not idling the CPU, not lowering fan speeds, etc | 22:51 |
| TaJMoX | Also, xorg is idling at 3% =\ | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: "used to be" for sure ;) | 22:51 |
| TaJMoX | blaggard exactly, so a custom compiled cpu would be able to utilize your specific hardware properly. | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | no one needs more then 256MB ;) | 22:51 |
| TaJMoX | custom compiled kernel* | 22:51 |

| blaggard | TaJMoX: thats why I run either gnome-fallback, mate, or cinnamon. | 22:56 |
| TaJMoX | W4sp so like /ignore 'has joined' will work? | 22:56 |
| TaJMoX | ...but what if someone says "Bill has joined our team at work" | 22:56 |
| TaJMoX | It's been like 12 years since I've used IRC =) | 22:56 |
| W4sp | TaJMoX: /ignore JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS reduces the output to conversation channel messages. | 22:57 |
| W4sp | TaJMoX: It's not /ignore 'has joined'. It is '/ignore joins parts nicks quits' | 22:57 |

| i7c | Bravia: it's a window manager ;) it takes care of drawing windows, also moving resizing etc | 23:22 |
| TaJMoX | Bravia I mean, it's part of Xorg if you choose to use it, it will take over for the Window Manager you are currently using | 23:22 |

Any hints on how I can resolve this? Cheers | 23:32 |
| W4sp | phy1729: You can't turn desktop into server by removing any deskto specific packages. The server has an optimized kernel. That said, you can turn a desktop into server and remove desktop specific packages afterwards (eg X). | 23:33 |

| W4sp | ianm_: I mentioned this because it could have been detected as PS/2 Mouse. | 23:52 |
| ianm_ | W4sp: 'xinput' shows SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad | 23:53 |
| W4sp | phy1729: I can't tell you but there shoudl be one. Given that your system is in production I recommend to backup and even dd your OS partitions prior any upgrade. | 23:54 |
| Phr3d13 | i am having an issue while web browsing and while trying to use pithos, with pithos (pandora client) i get this error: http://pastie.org/4547075 | 23:54 |
| W4sp | ianm_: Excellent. Now we need to figure out if X loads the driver. Can you check with your Xorg.0.log in /var/log? It shoudl tell how the drivers are loaded. | 23:55 |
| Phr3d13 | just got this one while trying to log in to report a bug in launchpad: http://pastie.org/4547144 | 23:56 |
| W4sp | ianm_: Also, you may need to create an xorg.log (Xorg :1 -configure > ~/xorg.conf.new) as root | 23:57 |
| ianm_ | W4sp: yeah it looks like the synaptic driver, x-axis range 1472-5768, y-axis 1408-5062 | 23:57 |
