| idonthaveaname | Guys... How do I install 10.04 with wubi? | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ChTiPowA: its not supported here, none of the 'ubuntu based' distributions are | 00:00 |

| Fluid_Mantis | wsirc_8644875: You need to create a new partition and shrink your current one. There are specific boot CDs that can do this for you. | 00:01 |
| idonthaveaname | KM0201 because my computer crashes while normal installation procedure | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ChTiPowA: no, its channel policy, plain and simple | 00:01 |

| ActionParsnip | oh well | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | idonthaveaname: what is the "normal installation procedure?"... that is causing your syustem to crash. | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | wsirc_8644875: boot to the install CD and you can resize your NTFS partition and install to the freed space | 00:02 |
| idonthaveaname | Installing it. from a pen drive | 00:02 |
| Fluid_Mantis | wsirc_8644875: Or rather, just shrink your current partition and leave free space on your hard drive. Ubuntu will create the new partition automatically. | 00:02 |

| idonthaveaname | KM0201, well thanks. It's just that what I do is nothing, I just let it in there, and it shuts down. | 00:03 |
| mooples | herro | 00:04 |
| KM0201 | idonthaveaname: so you're trying to install ubuntu, onto a USB, or are you trying to put an ISO on a USB, so you can install to a hard drive? for what its worth, ubuntu writes to disk a lot, so don't expect a thumb drive to have a lot of life if your'e installing there. | 00:04 |
| idonthaveaname | KM0201: I am trying to install ubuntu, from a USB, to a USB. | 00:05 |
| KM0201 | idonthaveaname: ok.. most likely grub is getting put on the wrong disk, and thats why you're having this problem. | 00:05 |

| harris | i have an epson wp-4530 how do i get it to work with ubuntu 12.04 | 00:05 |

| BigSexySlimer | man this channel is insanely active compared to the others | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | idonthaveaname: i dunno, seems like an awful strange problem. | 00:06 |
| Fluid_Mantis | KM0201: Do you think Ubuntu could shorten the life of an SSD more so than other OS's. Not that I'd stop using it because of that. Just curious. | 00:06 |
| genii-around | BigSexySlimer: And just think, it's fairly quiet here right now | 00:06 |
| idonthaveaname | thanks KM0201, will go ask in ##hardware | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | Fluid_Mantis: i'm not that familiar with SSD's, but my understanding, is the more an OS writes, the shorter the lifespan, so.. i would say probably.. | 00:07 |

| === wildcard-- is now known as wildcard- | ||
| * VirtualBlackness doesn't understand why windows is involved in this equation. | 00:40 | |
| WACOMalt | VirtualBlackness, because I already have the webserver running on windows. I just want a redundant copy on the Ubuntu IP6 network Im on | 00:41 |
| VirtualBlackness | That doesn't sound like what you are doing. It sounds like you can't figure out how to setup IPv6 in windows so you are trying to cheat using Ubuntu... when you could just use Ubuntu. It is really a question better suited to the VM you are usings channel with regard to networking configuration. | 00:43 |
| jhojho | install nginx on ubuntu, proxy forward to windows | 00:44 |
| Synthonic | :) | 00:45 |
| WACOMalt | VirtualBlackness the thing is the IP6 network is a TUN interface. which windows doesnt support | 00:47 |
| WACOMalt | it's cjDNS a meshnet | 00:47 |

| ariqs | now you're starting to see things my way, sambagirl ;) | 01:50 |
| ariqs | I suppose they figure it has worked for them so why stop? Even if they are running themselves crazy | 01:51 |

| Miggs | Hey guys, I've got a problem with either PulseAudio or Zeroconf not picking up my network sound sink (even though it can be seen in avahi-discover - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154444/ - and paprefs is set to make network sinks available locally). Any hints? | 01:53 |
| sambagirl | well ariqs in reality i stick with what i like and what works. just because something new comes up, doesn't mean you have to jump off the deck and swim thru a torrent of waves and propellers and try to climb back up onto another deck does it? :D | 01:53 |
| ariqs | no, but quite often it's like: "I have a problem" "Well, it's not fixed in your version, but you can get the next!" | 01:54 |
| ariqs | gee, thanks :) | 01:54 |
| sambagirl | well that's true with anything though ariqs and therefore you just deal with it. if it's that big of an issue you can usually find a solution using good ole google search. you would be amazed how much solutions are at your fingertips. just have to be tenatious in your effort and know what to look for. | 01:55 |
| Spectacle_K | Miggs: Don't even try, no one's listening... | 01:56 |
| Miggs | Yeah :( | 01:56 |
| Miggs | I'm not listening to anything either since I can't get it to find my network sink. :/ | 01:56 |
| sambagirl | ariqs i still run 10.10 on this particular laptop, i figure i am not running the world bank on this laptop, so what do i care about security? it's all paranoia based in some ways anyway. | 01:57 |
| Spectacle_K | Miggs: Ha ha, well I wish I could help you. But I have issues myself and I have no idea what your problem means lol. Sorry... | 01:57 |

| nitrohax | i've been trying to research but haven't found anything i can conclude on. | 02:20 |
| diamonds | xangua: I created an excluded folder but typing any part of its name still shows the image thumbnail | 02:21 |
| nitrohax | benniestacks> have you tried from the bios of the laptop? | 02:21 |
| diamonds | and it's still linking from the last location (downloads) :( | 02:22 |

| benniestacks | Hey nitrohax : I haven't do anything in the bios yet. I'm not sure what all I would need to do there? | 02:23 |
| diamonds | argh! I deleted all activity history now it's the ONLY thing that shows up | 02:23 |
| xangua | diamonds: were those images in the directory you excluded from the beggining¿ | 02:23 |

| nitrohax | benniestacks> sometimes in the laptop bios settings you will see something about dc screen brightness or something along the lines of power saving modes. look for that. but don't change anythign else unless you know for sure what you are doing. when in doubt, exit it DISCARDING changes | 02:24 |

| diamonds | L3top, that's the integrated graphics card and the GPU, right? | 02:37 |
| diamonds | ah it's certainly not ia65 | 02:38 |
| diamonds | s/5$/4/ | 02:38 |
| L3top | diamonds: is this a laptop? | 02:38 |
| diamonds | yes | 02:38 |
| L3top | You are going to need to install bumblebee. | 02:39 |
| diamonds | what's that? | 02:39 |
| diamonds | ahh | 02:39 |
| pourtech | how can I run the built-in games on Ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| L3top | diamonds: you have an optimus chipset. It is a completely unsupported by nvidia dual gpu laptop which shares a single head. Bumblebee gives you the ability to use one, or the other, or try and switch based on need. | 02:40 |
| benniestacks | L3top, does that look correct? | 02:40 |
| pourtech | i can see some games on ubuntu software center. but... | 02:40 |
| L3top | benniestacks: can you please run: sudo update-pciids and do that again? | 02:40 |
| nitrohax | pourtech> have you d/l and installed the games? | 02:40 |
| icecube45 | So guys... My ubuntu was workiing fine till a restart, now it says im connected the the internet, but i cant seem to connect to hostname, so any websites.... I can however connect to my router.. And i can use skype and such | 02:41 |
| pourtech | nitrohax: ues | 02:41 |
| pourtech | yes | 02:41 |
| diamonds | L3top, optimus chipset refers to the gpu, not cpu, correct? | 02:41 |
| L3top | correct diamonds. | 02:41 |
| nitrohax | pourtech> press the windows button and then type the name of the game you have installed that you want to use | 02:42 |
| diamonds | so practically speaking, I'll just not be using the GPU at all most of the time? | 02:42 |
| icecube45 | Anyone? | 02:42 |
| diamonds | but I could turn it on for e.g. gaming? | 02:42 |
| L3top | diamonds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus | 02:42 |
| nitrohax | pourtech> windows/command key | 02:42 |
| icecube45 | Help, please.. | 02:42 |
| diamonds | L3top, would you call this a "recommended" hardware configuration for running ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| L3top | diamonds: it was designed with power saving in mind. Only use the big guns when they are needed. Unfortunately the official position of nvidia is "We have no plans to support optimus on linux". | 02:43 |
| diamonds | ok so sounds like "no" :p | 02:43 |

I have tried using alsamixer under from the terminal with no success. Most grateful for any assistance. | 02:45 |

| L3top | checking benniestacks | 02:55 |

| diamonds | if so -> tears of joy | 02:55 |
| W4sp | luftikuss: It's not actively used. The idea is to connect to a port, in yur case port 80, and wait for a response from the target systen. The response is either + or -. | 02:56 |
| L3top | diamonds: it uses the intel for better battery, it uses nvidia to push what you need. | 02:56 |

| loneTiger | hi all!! Total Newbie here....how do I add pidgin to the menubar??? | 03:56 |
| qmanjr5 | how do I set the shortcuts for the universal access magnifiers? | 03:56 |
| jagginess | vokevybez, should be in the search box, "manage search engines" | 03:56 |
| jagginess | vokevybez, (oops, i don't use unity :/) | 03:56 |
| diamonds | loneTiger, when it's running, right click & "lock to..." | 03:57 |
| diamonds | loneTiger, right click the icon on the launcher | 03:57 |
| loneTiger | ok trying it out thx diamons | 03:57 |
| KOHUHA | cfhowlett reboot your machine, call to your developer of the internet | 03:57 |
| loneTiger | diamonds (* w oops) | 03:58 |
| diamonds | loneTiger, is pidgin installed & running? | 04:00 |
| Moonlightning | Is there some way to make a tty or a `screen` session lock automatically after some time with no input? | 04:00 |
| loneTiger | yep chatting with you from it | 04:00 |
| diamonds | loneTiger, you are using unity? | 04:00 |
| KM0201 | pidgin is a horrifying IRC client,. | 04:00 |
| loneTiger | yes | 04:00 |
| KM0201 | pretty good chat client though | 04:00 |
| diamonds | loneTiger, right click on the pidgin icon, do you see "lock to launcher"? | 04:01 |
| vokevybez | jagginess: i meant in the browser so i can search with the browser | 04:01 |
| loneTiger | no i dont want the lock to launcher......you know the icon like "empathy" shows up...how do i do that | 04:01 |
| diamonds | ah | 04:02 |
| diamonds | not sure | 04:02 |
| KM0201 | i don't think thats currently working w/ Unity and Pidgin. | 04:02 |
| diamonds | which is sad | 04:02 |
| KM0201 | why is it sad? | 04:02 |
| diamonds | cuz Pidgin is the de facto standard FOSS chat client | 04:03 |
| diamonds | is it not so? | 04:03 |
| KM0201 | not really, thats why Ubuntu doesn't ship with Pidgin anymore. | 04:03 |
| loneTiger | yea thats sad......:( because it make it harder ...have to alt tab everytime to type.... | 04:03 |
| KM0201 | it comes w/ Empathy. Empathy is designed to integrate with Unity, Pidgin is not. | 04:03 |
| diamonds | honestly, who goes out and installs Empathy? | 04:04 |
| diamonds | ;) | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | diamonds: lots of people. | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | or i should say, lots of people use it.. just because "its there" | 04:04 |
| diamonds | KM0201, there we go ;) | 04:04 |
| loneTiger | yep thats right KM0201........because its there.... | 04:04 |
| diamonds | I tried it briefly | 04:04 |
| nitrohax | diamonds> some of us that also run straight debian have to d/l something like that to keep everythign working and straight | 04:04 |
| xangua | KM0201: pidgin does integrate with unity, or at least with the message indicator as empathy does | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | some people don't really care what IM/chat client they use.. personally, i hate empathy. | 04:04 |
| diamonds | KM0201, yeah me too :( | 04:05 |
| loneTiger | can empathy handle IRC??? | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | xangua: yeah, but he wants the old pidgin status icon in the taskbar, like there used to be w/ gnome 2.x (at least i think thats what he wants) | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | loneTiger: i think so. | 04:05 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, not sure what you mean. I mean "people will go out of their way to install Pidgin, not so Empathy" | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | personally, if you want to do IRC, bet an IRC client... | 04:05 |
| loneTiger | yep thats right ..actually like yahoomessenger in windows...... | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | none of the IM clients handle IRC very well IMO, | 04:06 |
| loneTiger | total newbie here....seeing linux (the whole spectrum) for the first time here.... | 04:06 |
| trism | KM0201: you can still have the status icon too, just enable it in the options and add Pidgin to the systray-whitelist | 04:06 |
| nitrohax | loneTiger> questions/ | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | well, i have it enabled, but i have no idea how to add it to this "white list" | 04:06 |
| loneTiger | options of...which app? | 04:07 |
| diamonds | just tried out empathy again | 04:07 |
| trism | gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'Pidgin', 'update-notifier']; might have extras I forget the default | 04:07 |
| diamonds | it has styles!! | 04:07 |
| nitrohax | KM0201> you have the regular xchat and not the gnome xcaht right | 04:07 |
| diamonds | last time it had NO styles | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | nitrohax: affirmative | 04:08 |
| diamonds | argh still trying to get bumblebee to behave... | 04:08 |
| nitrohax | good. at least you have one that works right. now you want to challenge your self some try BitchX. LOL | 04:08 |
| nitrohax | diamonds> with that, it's trial/error and patience | 04:09 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, yes | 04:09 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, current status: If I set Driver=nvidia, bumblebee server doesn't start properly | 04:09 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, if I don't, it starts but can't find the driver :p | 04:09 |

| bharath | I am new to ubuntu developement , can anyone please help me out on how to contribute to ubuntu? | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | trism: weird, i ddi what you said, skype shows up, but pidgin and xchat do not.. oh well. | 04:10 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, should/can I disable/uninstall that? | 04:10 |
| trism | KM0201: you probably need to restart the panel, it will probably work next login | 04:11 |
| KM0201 | oh ok. | 04:11 |
| trism | KM0201: I have it here, so it is possible in theory | 04:11 |
| nitrohax | diamonds, 50/50 another trial error thing. | 04:11 |
| KM0201 | trism: i believe you, brb, i'll try logging out/back in | 04:11 |
| KM0201 | that seems to have done it | 04:12 |

| nick1 | where can i get history command source code ? | 04:13 |
| nitrohax | diamonds> it says there aren't any drivers at all for your GPU? | 04:14 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 04:14 |
| Nautilus | i believe i've created a mount point (sdb2) and mounted the sdb2 partition to it... now how do get to it so I can see the files? is it a CD? "cd sbd2" says No such file or directory. | 04:14 |
| nitrohax | diamonds> does it give you an option to activate one? | 04:14 |
| loneTiger | @ nitrohax....if the proprietary drivers don't work out how do you revert back to normal | 04:15 |
| diamonds | nitrohax, no | 04:15 |
| histo | diamonds: If you have the propriatary nvidia driver installed and the kernel updates you need to rebuild the nvidia kernel module | 04:15 |
| nitrohax | diamonds> interesting. must be something extremly new | 04:15 |
| diamonds | histo, how do this? | 04:15 |
| KOHUHA | diamonds reboot from liveusb and enjoy | 04:16 |

| Nautilus | nitrohax: ah, it works as poorly as 8.10 -> 10.04? | 04:20 |
| nitrohax | Nautilus> worse. | 04:20 |
| KM0201 | 8.10 > 10.04 shouldn't have been done anyway. | 04:20 |

| nitrohax | brb | 04:22 |

| * nitrohax is away again (even though i never hit /back) | 04:22 | |

| asilhouette | i'm having problem with rtl8187 driver, its very unstable and wireless doesn't work well | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | Nautilus: again, if you b ack up your home, that should all be saved (the configurations) you'd just have to reinstall the software. | 04:23 |
| Nautilus | KM0201: nope, wrong | 04:23 |
| histo | diamonds: well then nevermind it should have updated that as well. I though you were using drivers from nvidia.com | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | Nautilus: ok, obviously your experience has been different from mine. | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | cuz ive done it many times | 04:23 |
| diamonds | histo, no that was disrecommended | 04:23 |
| Nautilus | did you have vhosts? mysql db's? | 04:23 |
| nick1 | hi all | 04:23 |

| Nautilus | meganerd: well, trying to upgrade 10.04LTS to 12.04LTS. But maybe I shouldn't even bother | 04:25 |
| KM0201 | Nautilus: thats not supported yet, why would you? | 04:26 |
| meganerd | I am writing this from a machine on which I did exactly that. | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: it's fine to upgrade - just expect lots of issues. have backups regardless of what you decide. | 04:26 |
| meganerd | it also has vhosts, DBs, and a couple of VMs | 04:26 |
| Nautilus | i don't mean specifically an upgrade. A scratch install is OK so long as I have backed up what I need | 04:26 |
| KM0201 | meganerd: it can be done i imagine, but it's not advised or supported for some reason, until 12.04.1 | 04:26 |
| KM0201 | well if you're going to clean install, you can do whatever you want | 04:27 |
| Nautilus | i'm trying to "move" from 10.04 -> 12.04, unless it's not worth it | 04:27 |
| meganerd | KM0201: that was news to me since I went and did just that months ago, I was just lucky I guess | 04:27 |
| histo | nick1: which internal commands are you looking for? ls and things of that nature are provided by coreutils package you can get the source from apt or the software center. Also you can dpkg -S /bin/somecommand and it will tell you the package that it's from | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: fresh install is a LOT "cleaner" | 04:27 |
| Nautilus | KM0201: thanks for stating the obvious | 04:27 |
| meganerd | KM0201: I also have nightly backups on both a local software RAID and offsite, so I am less worried | 04:28 |
| histo | Nautilus: there are no issues upgrading from LTS to LTS is supported | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | meganerd: i don't backup quite that frequently, but i backup enough i'm not concerned if I have some sort of failure | 04:28 |
| Nautilus | histo: w/o 12.04.1? | 04:28 |
| bharath | I am new to ubuntu developement , can anyone please help me out on how to contribute to ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| meganerd | KM0201: dupclicity FTW | 04:28 |
| histo | Nautilus: it's suggested to wait untill 12.04.1 | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | yup. | 04:28 |
| Nautilus | i can do that :) | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | histo: "there are no issues upgrading" you are joking right? and going LTS->LTS is the most difficult of upgrade to be smooth | 04:29 |

| zykotick9 | histo: have you been to this channel after a new release? | 04:29 |
| * KM0201 has never even done an upgrade.. ;) | 04:29 | |
| KM0201 | lol zykotick9 ... mass hysteria i tell you | 04:30 |
| bharath | MonkeyDust, thankyou | 04:30 |
| meganerd | KM0201: they are usually not that bad, I have been doing them since the Debian Slink days | 04:30 |
| histo | zykotick9: i've been using ubuntu since the 5xx days so yes | 04:30 |
| Nautilus | if I can backup to a Q.... a Clonezilla backup should be solid, yes? exact same sector size partitions. | 04:31 |
| meganerd | Nautilus: clonezilla would work, especially if you have a single partition | 04:31 |
| histo | Nautilus: yes clonezilla you can clone your drive. or you can just tar up your home would be sufficient backup | 04:31 |
| Nautilus | home is not sufficient | 04:32 |
| KM0201 | histo: he has some server apps as well.. | 04:32 |
| meganerd | Nautilus: I like backing up the data (like /var /etc and so on,) as it is easier to restore into a new server | 04:32 |
| histo | Nautilus: oh if you have a server then no | 04:32 |
| histo | Nautilus: just bootup a clonezilla livecd and image the drive to a removable drive | 04:32 |
| Nautilus | that's what I did | 04:32 |
| histo | Nautilus: then you have nothing to worry about unless your image is bad | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | well, the partition | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | but if you restore the image, aren't you more or less just putting the "old" OS back on the machine? | 04:33 |
| meganerd | KM0201: yes | 04:33 |
| histo | KM0201: yes | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | sure | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | oh ok | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | thats why it's called a backup ;) | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | i thought hte goal was to upgrade to 12.04 | 04:33 |
| histo | Nautilus: is there a reason you need to upgrade at this minute? | 04:33 |
| meganerd | KM0201: which is why I like to grab /etc/ /var/ and /usr/local seperately | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | histo: not really | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | just thoughtit was about time | 04:33 |
| histo | Nautilus: all my servers are still running 10.04 | 04:33 |
| Nautilus | i see | 04:33 |
| histo | Nautilus: As others have stated with the issues people experience. I just wait on my servers untill LTS .1 | 04:34 |
| Nautilus | i did want to upgrade php to 5.3.3 from my 5.3.2 but that need has passed. | 04:34 |
| histo | Nautilus: then others have debugged any issues I may experience | 04:34 |
| meganerd | Nautilus: I am happy with 12.04, though I did not start the upgrade until Friday after work when I had time to fix problems | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: if they are server installs, that does change things a bit - less likely to have issues i'd imagine then a regular desktop | 04:35 |
| Nautilus | ubuntu desktop installs, with a LAMP stack for local web dev. pretty simple but I don't wanna break it | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer at first boot?(after a reboot its gone) | 04:36 |
| Nautilus | i guess I stay with 10.04LTS | 04:36 |
| histo | Nautilus: if you have a backup though what's there to lose I guess. It's up to you. | 04:36 |
| histo | Nautilus: you're not going to see anything earth shatering from upgrading to 12.04 | 04:37 |
| Nautilus | yep, that's what i was thinking, "whats there to lose" | 04:37 |
| Nautilus | but if 12.04 gets me squat, yawn | 04:37 |
| Nautilus | "don't fix what ain't broke" comes to mind | 04:38 |
| KM0201 | i like ubuntu server, its a good server distro.. had it on my NAS forever.. then for whatever reason, switched to OMV (which i also like) | 04:38 |
| KM0201 | it is kinda nice not having to do every single thing from command line | 04:38 |
| rkhshm | Due to network issues I'm having to connect my 11.10 via a wifi hotspot on my phone. The strange thing is I can see that the Bandwidth i'm getting is about 3Mbps yet when i try to open a webpage it takes ages.. .However if i open the same webpage on my phone it works in a flash.. | 04:38 |
| rkhshm | why this problem? | 04:38 |
| Nautilus | KM0201: yea, nice to have the GUI | 04:38 |
| KM0201 | Nautilus: although admittedly, past initial setup, i never use the webUI... go figure. | 04:39 |
| * zykotick9 if i can't run it in screen, it's not much use to me | 04:39 | |

| Nautilus | Well, many thanks guys!! Sounds like I'm actually all set. | 04:40 |
| archlinuxrussian | i was hoping i could find out if there was a way to get Ubuntu to stick with the latest stable kernel releases, example being Fedora...where right now im on 3.5.2. | 04:40 |
| ZeroC00L | Hi all. | 04:41 |
| archlinuxrussian | :/ | 04:42 |
| archlinuxrussian | anyone have any info on that? | 04:42 |
| MonkeyDust | archlinuxrussian i guess you mean a rolling release | 04:42 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: so, you want the latest kernel? | 04:42 |
| archlinuxrussian | not entirely...just keeping up with a kernel | 04:42 |
| archlinuxrussian | stable kernel* | 04:42 |
| ZeroC00L | I have a problem, I installed the ubuntu 12.x and when I rebooted for the first time I received the following error: "error: no such device: 1bc..." | 04:43 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: well, that would break stability, a big no no for LTS | 04:43 |
| rkhshm1 | lotuspsychje: i'm using a wifi dongle from cisco and wifi security is WPA2 (AES) | 04:43 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: I also would never use Fedora for a server or a machine I cared about | 04:43 |
| histo | archlinuxrussian: you can check if they have a newer in kernel in backports | 04:43 |
| archlinuxrussian | meganerd: :/ how so? just wondering...since Fedora keeps with the latest stable kernel. | 04:43 |
| KOHUHA | archlinuxrussian арча-говно, backtrack forever) | 04:43 |
| archlinuxrussian | meganerd: i use it for everything o_o | 04:43 |
| xangua | !mainline | 04:43 |
| xangua | archlinuxrussian: compile the kernel or use the mainline builds (on your own risk of course) | 04:43 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 04:43 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: you can of course just build yourself the kernel, it is not difficult. | 04:43 |
| lotuspsychje | rkhshm1: i had same kinda issue on natty, on linksys wifi card, could only have WEP to speed up, WPA messed up speed, did you try? | 04:44 |
| archlinuxrussian | oh ok...was jw if there was a ppa or some crap like that :P | 04:44 |
| archlinuxrussian | that i was oblivious about | 04:44 |
| archlinuxrussian | thanks :_ | 04:44 |
| KM0201 | i don't think fedora would make a bad server distro (granted, i don't use fedora as much as i used to, but it seems stable) | 04:44 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: Fedora and Ubuntu are different, with different goals | 04:44 |
| rkhshm1 | lotuspsychje: no i've not tried that.. will do it and let you know .. thanks.. | 04:44 |
| archlinuxrussian | i knows :P | 04:44 |
| archlinuxrussian | i use arch on my desktop, and currently Fedora on my laptop | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroCOOL:what had u got? | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroCOOL:hd | 04:45 |
| archlinuxrussian | and am on testing repos on both...not rawhide | 04:45 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: you are free to debug Fedora for Red Hat, but I have things I would rather do with my time | 04:45 |
| ZeroC00L | lotuspsychje? | 04:45 |
| archlinuxrussian | o_o i dont debug... | 04:45 |
| archlinuxrussian | i use it for everything i do lol. and it works fine | 04:45 |
| meganerd | archlinuxrussian: you run fedora, so yes you do :) | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:its your hd not showing? wich hd you have? | 04:45 |
| archlinuxrussian | meganerd: o_o | 04:46 |
| ZeroC00L | I don't know...hold on. I will look. | 04:46 |
| archlinuxrussian | meganerd: so? lol | 04:46 |
| ZeroC00L | FYI, I had v10 on it before. | 04:46 |
| archlinuxrussian | you speak as though its not a good thing :/ | 04:46 |

| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:dualboot on it? | 04:47 |
| archlinuxrussian | :/ | 04:47 |
| archlinuxrussian | anyway | 04:47 |
| archlinuxrussian | bye | 04:47 |

| root | helo | 04:47 |
| === root is now known as Guest98915 | ||
| Iron_Chef | nice nick root!!! | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 04:48 |
| Iron_Chef | here's a tip DON'T USE IRC AS ROOT! ;-) | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | !rootirc | 04:49 |
| ubottu | It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:please provide a little more info on your problem so we can help | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | of course, he could be here on a Live CD, which.. logs you in initially as root I do believe | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | xchat isnt so bad software right? | 04:49 |
| Iron_Chef | KM0201: ah that's put it nicer :-) | 04:50 |
| Iron_Chef | KM0201: ubuntu is the default user iirc | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | lotuspsychje: its not bad software, but you should never run any software as "root" when you don't need it, especially software that is used to access random servers, etc.. | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | hmm, thats right | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | so why on earth would someone run IRC as root? | 04:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Iron_Chef:lets say root was logged in to issri, could one abbuse on terminal irc? | 04:51 |
| Iron_Chef | these days... trolling perhaps? :-) | 04:51 |
| histo | Guest98915: I would not use irc as root that's a bad idea | 04:51 |
| ZeroC00L | fair enough, I have an core i7 first gen that I put together myself. has win7/ubuntu with v10. Attempted to reinstall/upgrade to v12. | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | probably a windows user who doesn't understand that not using root for everything, is one thing that makes Linux so much better than Windows. | 04:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:try to updat grub and reboot, many dualboots with win7 crash these days... | 04:52 |
| ZeroC00L | Okay...how do I upgrate the grub? | 04:52 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:sudo update grub and reboot | 04:53 |
| ZeroC00L | How do I get to sudo, I am left at the rescue bash | 04:53 |
| demiurge | sup guys. is there a way to increase overall color strenght in ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| lotuspsychje | ZeroC00L:maybe this can help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 04:56 |
| KM0201 | color strength? | 04:56 |
| demiurge | yeah, like nvidia digital vibrance, make colors stronger | 04:57 |
| ZeroC00L | lotuspsychje: thanks I will work on that. | 04:58 |
| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrpt square mouse pointer at first boot (after a reboot its gone)? | 05:03 |
| JoeR1 | The keyboard and touchpad on my laptop suddenly stopped working and I could use some help | 05:05 |
| === jeffsf is now known as jeffsf|zzz | ||
| histo | JoeR1: can you ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a tty? ctrl+alt+F7 will get you back to X | 05:10 |
| JoeR1 | I am in with a wireless keyboard and mouse combo histo | 05:14 |
| histo | JoeR1: okay does hitting ctrl+alt+F1 switch to a tty? | 05:19 |
| histo | JoeR1: or does pressing the numlock key light up the numlock on the keyboard? | 05:20 |
| JoeR1 | yes it does and no it doesn't | 05:20 |
| JoeR1 | respectively | 05:20 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 05:21 |
| KM0201 | so you can switch to a tty, but you can't enable the number pad? | 05:21 |
| JoeR1 | indeed | 05:22 |
| JoeR1 | well in case you missed it KM0201 I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse right now | 05:22 |
| datruth | how can I assign volume controls to a secondary sound device? | 05:23 |
| KM0201 | JoeR1: no i caught that | 05:23 |
| JoeR1 | all dry for ideas in here? | 05:29 |
| KM0201 | yeah, sorry | 05:29 |
| JoeR1 | No problem | 05:30 |
| JoeR1 | thanks for at least listening and responding | 05:30 |
| hanslanda | hello there, can anyone help me? i think its easy to do, but im very new to linux...i was changing some sound settings on XFCE and now i have no sound, just microfone..anyone? | 05:33 |
| Keanu | Could somebody help me with installing Ubuntu on an old desktop? | 05:35 |
| Keanu | Can somebody please help me? | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: what do you need help with? | 05:37 |
| Keanu | KM0201: I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an old pc, and I'm having troubles booting from a cd | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | 1st, how "old" is old.. | 05:39 |
| histo | Keanu: what sort of troubles we can guess all day | 05:39 |
| KM0201 | general specs? | 05:39 |
| aeon-ltd | cpu, ram, hdd | 05:39 |
| histo | hanslanda: unmute your speakers | 05:39 |
| histo | hanslanda: try alsamixer in a terminal and check your levels | 05:39 |
| aeon-ltd | KM0201: cpu/ram/hdd specs are most important | 05:39 |
| histo | hanslanda: also make sure you have the right output device selected | 05:40 |
| KM0201 | aeon-ltd: i know that... when i said "general" specs.. i assumed thats what he'd get me | 05:40 |
| Keanu | KM0201: Gateway Desktop, 20 GB HDD, 512 MB RAM, 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 Processor, Windows XP SP2, it's from 2001 | 05:41 |
| aeon-ltd | KM0201: sorry about that, the autocomplete on my client isn't that good. | 05:41 |
| hanslanda | histo, how im gonna know i have the right output device selected?...i have 2....one is intel and other nvidia ...i think its intel | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: you don't have enough RAM to run a live cd. | 05:41 |
| Keanu | KM0201: I don't? | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | and frankly, you probably don't have enough ram to run ubuntu 12.04 successfully.. you need to look at either xubuntu or lubuntu | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: no, live cd's require at least 1gig of ram... you can try the alternet install cd, but w/ that low amount of ram, ubuntu is gonna run like crap | 05:42 |
| Keanu | KM0201: Would it give me an error message if I didn't have enough ram? | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: it probably wouldn't even boot, or if it did, it would take abou 10-15min | 05:43 |
| IlikeMoose | KM0201: i ran 12.04 on 512mb and it was a bit slower than 1 gig of ram but it wasn't all that bad | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | IlikeMoose: hmm, i couldn't imagine that | 05:44 |
| IlikeMoose | it was better than running xp | 05:44 |
| xangua | KM0201: you just like to exagerate everything ;) | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | xangua: not exaggerating at all.. | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | at least in my opinion., | 05:44 |
| xangua | suuure | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | .. | 05:44 |
| aeon-ltd | 12.04 will run, just not great. the time is better spent installing xubuntu or lubuntu, Keanu | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | thank you. | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | either way, you're going to need to use the alternat einstall cd... thats not enough ram for live cd's | 05:45 |
| slackin | #pugbot NEEDS 2 TO START NOW! | 05:45 |
| histo | Keanu: you can use the alternate install cd | 05:45 |
| Keanu | histo: What's that? | 05:46 |
| KM0201 | it's a text installer (ie, not a live cd) | 05:46 |
| histo | hanslanda: yes mostlikely it's the intel device. the Nvidia device is probably for sound over hdmi | 05:46 |
| aeon-ltd | Or if you really have time, start from server. use standalone openbox with that you could boot to just under 70mb ram usage. more than one flash video/game running at the same time will slow the system to an absolute crawl. expect the same with java etc | 05:46 |
| histo | !alternate | Keanu | 05:46 |
| ubottu | Keanu: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 05:46 |
| Keanu | Actually, I should ask my first question. I have this old desktop that I'd like to use as a server... for Minecraft. Should I use Desktop or Server Ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| aeon-ltd | Keanu: server for sure, free up as much ram as possible | 05:48 |
| histo | Keanu: server | 05:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Keanu: How many players do you plan to support? | 05:49 |
| hanslanda | histo, nobody is helping me, ive already selected intel...but nothing happens...all sounds muted...but the sound icon is like it was with sound. | 05:49 |
| KM0201 | yup, definitel server | 05:49 |
| Keanu | aeon-ltd: 3-10, but I do plan on upgrading ram eventually | 05:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Keanu: you may need 64bit, depending on the processor you may be capped at 4gb of ram which severly limits the amount of players you can support | 05:51 |
| Keanu | aeon-ltd: Intel Pentium 4 1.6GHz | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: any way you can bump the ram on that?.. it should be cheap on ebay.. | 05:52 |
| histo | hanslanda: can you open alsamixer in a terminal and ensure that the pcm and master volumes aren't muted | 05:52 |
| Keanu | KM0201: Where do I check the ram cap for my computer? I haven't used windows in ages. | 05:52 |
| aeon-ltd | hanslanda: colonel, what settings were you changing before this happened? | 05:52 |
| histo | hanslanda: also what sound settings were you changing? | 05:52 |
| Keanu | KM0201: It's Windows XP | 05:52 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: i've not used windows in about 8yrs, i don't know... google the specs on the machine | 05:52 |
| aeon-ltd | Keanu: your mobo will have a cap aswell as whether your cpu supports 64bit | 05:53 |
| KM0201 | exactly | 05:53 |
| Keanu | KM0201: I can't find my machine online. It doesn't bring up anything | 05:53 |
| KM0201 | google the model of you rmachine, and see if you can find gateway docs on it (they usually keep them forever) | 05:53 |
| Keanu | aeon-ltd: mobo> | 05:53 |
| Keanu | aeon-ltd: ? | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: crucial has a tool you can download and run... that should do the trick (assuming the machine has windows) | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | crucial.com | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | it'll tell you how much ram you have, max, etc.. | 05:54 |
| aeon-ltd | Keanu: motherboard | 05:54 |
| Keanu | aeon-ltd: right, I'm still a tad new to this. | 05:54 |
| hanslanda | histo, aeon-ltd , i was changing microfone volume ... here http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-20-08-2012-025346.php | 05:54 |
| Keanu | KM0201: thanks, I'll tell you the results when I get it | 05:55 |
| LifeSF | "random" question,... would most say that running ubuntu 12.04 should be a smoother and faster experience than running windows or osx? | 05:56 |
| KM0201 | RAM should be cheap for that machine... i'd max it out, then build the server... a server w/ only 512mb of ram, i can't imagine how slow that would be. | 05:56 |
| ParkerR | LifeSF, Depends | 05:56 |
| === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 | ||
| KM0201 | LifeSF: its smoother for me cuz i know what the heck i'm doing. | 05:57 |
| ControllerSYR | FloodBot1, | 05:57 |
| KM0201 | i've not used Windows in so long (and i've never used Mac) i'd be lost on both | 05:57 |
| hanslanda | histo, aeon-ltd , i was changing microfone volume ... here http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-20-08-2012-025346.php | 05:57 |
| ParkerR | I've been using 12.04 on a little 20gb drive until my new one comes in | 05:57 |
| histo | hanslanda: click select controls and select your channels | 05:58 |
| LifeSF | lollll that's the thing though,.. it will be "fast" on a fresh native install, but then again, i always encouter "problems" after an install that cause performance issues, and sometimes too much for me to actually stay on it... ie: graphics card/flash | 05:58 |
| ParkerR | Both work just fine for me | 05:58 |
| dottle | need some install help | 05:58 |
| histo | LifeSF: In my experience linux performs much faster than windows in most tasks that I use | 05:59 |
| KM0201 | dottle: just ask | 05:59 |
| dottle | install locks up on the second splash screen when mouse appears, nothing installed yet | 05:59 |
| hanslanda | histo, these 2 channels only? http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-20-08-2012-025917.php | 05:59 |
| dottle | using a xubuntu 12.04 install disc | 06:00 |
| KM0201 | dottle: cpu/ram? | 06:00 |
| dottle | 1.5 gig ram | 06:00 |
| dottle | intel cpu, old, 3000 speed I think | 06:01 |
| KM0201 | whatgraphics chipset | 06:01 |
| dottle | 2 disc drives | 06:01 |
| LifeSF | histo: well, it has been the case for me also at some points with certain things but i mean,... my pcs will just blast in heat if i ever run youtube videos or other, and i mean it'll run REALLY well with aero but the new ubuntu unity doesn't run well etc.. all things that make it burst in heat,.. | 06:01 |
| histo | hanslanda: I would have pcm visible | 06:01 |
| dottle | it has a 6800 graphics card in it | 06:01 |
| histo | LifeSF: run unity2d | 06:01 |
| KM0201 | hmm, first thought would be a bad cd burn | 06:01 |
| KM0201 | cuz that should run just fine. | 06:02 |
| histo | !md5sum | dottle | 06:02 |
| ubottu | dottle: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:02 |
| LifeSF | yeah, but i don't believe my pc should need to cut down on those,... i mean is unity that much more demanding? | 06:02 |
| dottle | burned xubuntu dvd, then cd, then ubuntu cd, all behave identical | 06:02 |
| hanslanda | histo, http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-20-08-2012-030232.php ....and still no sound | 06:02 |
| dottle | md5sum checked out when burned with k3b | 06:03 |
| dottle | rand the disc check also, it passed | 06:03 |
| LifeSF | histo: i'm comparing to aero because both have these transparency effects,... | 06:03 |
| LifeSF | reason why i bring up the subject is this: i find myself often needing to 'go back' to ubuntu but i also find myself needing to go back to windows,... | 06:05 |
| KM0201 | dottle: dunno, i'd try burning a new CD, and burn it very very slow (1-2x)... and try again | 06:05 |
| KM0201 | are you using cdrw or cdr? | 06:05 |
| KM0201 | i doubt a machine that old can boot usb, if it could, that'd be the way to go. | 06:05 |
| dottle | using cdr | 06:07 |
| hanslanda | histo, http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-20-08-2012-030232.php ....and still no sound | 06:07 |
| dottle | recommended burning program? | 06:07 |
| ParkerR | hanslanda, No need to post twice | 06:07 |
| Keanu | KM0201: 2 gig cap on the RAM | 06:08 |
| hanslanda | ParkerR, sorry for giving you that huge problem | 06:08 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: what type of ram did it say you had? | 06:09 |
| KM0201 | probably ddr400 or something like that i would think | 06:09 |
| dottle | the checksum on both iso images check out ok | 06:10 |
| histo | hanslanda: I'd enable all controls and make sure you didn't tick a switch or mute one that is needed | 06:10 |
| histo | !sound | hanslanda | 06:10 |
| ubottu | hanslanda: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 06:10 |
| histo | hanslanda: also asking in xubuntu may get your more help if that's what you are using. | 06:11 |
| LifeSF | so many things i love about running on ubuntu i wish i could just stay on it... | 06:11 |
| hanslanda | histo, thank you | 06:11 |
| histo | LifeSF: why can't you? | 06:12 |
| LifeSF | i was expecting google to at some point go after one of your good guys for software and i think it may have helped a bit in a way afterall as they bring out new programs that actually can work just as much on linux allowing so much more than before to userfriendliness | 06:13 |
| LifeSF | no i can't because of performance that just drops | 06:13 |
| LifeSF | and makes my pcs overheat | 06:13 |
| LifeSF | i mean, my quad core with 4gb ram runs smooth with 7 but unity... wow the drop | 06:13 |
| LifeSF | plus i have a nice graphics card but... in the past it was a hassle with nvidia, it's gotten better but still not top notch | 06:14 |
| Keanu | KM0201: Sorry, I had to go for a minute, what do you mean what type of ram I have? | 06:14 |
| Iron_Chef | does anyone know the config file where screen blanking is set in gnome 3 ? | 06:14 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: well, that will determine how much ram is going to cost to upgrade | 06:14 |
| LifeSF | but at a certain time ubuntu BEAT my windows in speed incredibly but then again, flash problems occured | 06:14 |
| KM0201 | so it will probably say something like "ddr400 500mhz" or something like that | 06:15 |
| KM0201 | youc an't just buy any ram | 06:15 |
| KM0201 | you gotta buy matching | 06:15 |
| Keanu | KM0201: DDR PC2700, or DDR PC3200 | 06:15 |
| histo | Keanu: how much ram do you have? | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | you should be able to get that pretty cheap. | 06:16 |
| KM0201 | 512mb histo i think is what he said. | 06:16 |

| LifeSF | i was told to stay away from adobe's flash plugin as it's just a wreck but... with the popularity and use youtube has gained,... it's become a very useful tool and should run smooth as heck even though apart from that flash hasn't been gaining that much popularity no more for websites,.. jquery | 06:17 |

| howardgrigg | hey guys I'm having some trouble - I just installed ubuntu server but I can't ssh into it, the ssh service is running and I can get a connection via telnet 22 but it's saying "operation timed out" - any ideas? | 06:20 |
| histo | Onixs: When I reinstalled my laptop I didn't even realize I did not have flash plugin enabled in chromium due to html5 | 06:20 |
| Onixs | great KM0201 | 06:20 |
| histo | howardgrigg: you don't telnet to port 22 | 06:20 |
| KM0201 | Onixs: i didn't know you used ubuntu to. | 06:20 |
| histo | howardgrigg: you use ssh ip.address.of.server to connect | 06:21 |
| Onixs | KM0201: hehe.. been at it since you left the other channel. youv beeb busy i know | 06:21 |
| KM0201 | Onixs: hmm, well good | 06:21 |
| howardgrigg | histo, oh I used telnet to see if i could get a connection when ssh wasn't working | 06:22 |
| howardgrigg | not together | 06:22 |
| histo | howardgrigg: ssh is encrypted traffic telnet does not have these capabilities so it's not an appropriate test. | 06:22 |
| howardgrigg | but I just tried again and now it's working… sorry for annoying you | 06:22 |
| histo | howardgrigg: on the server use netstat -tan and see if it's listening on port 22 | 06:23 |
| histo | howardgrigg: if you are planning on port forwarding port 22 from the outside world for ssh. I would install the fail2ban suite to get rid of people trying to brute force your server. | 06:23 |

| Keanu | KM0201: I think I'll stick with Desktop... for now. Could you help me install it? | 06:28 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: installing the desktop is easy.. your issue is (in my opinion) you don't have enough RAM | 06:29 |
| histo | Keanu: the minecraft documentation recomends atleast 1gig of ram free | 06:29 |
| KM0201 | and according to ubuntu, you don't have enough ram for a live cd | 06:29 |
| Keanu | histo: for now, I'm just going to try and install Desktop Ubuntu, then I'll see where I go from there. | 06:30 |
| histo | KM0201: where do you get that he doesn't have enough ram for a live cd? | 06:30 |
| KM0201 | histo: the ubuntu docs say you need 1gig of ram for the live cd | 06:30 |
| Keanu | KM0201: But it's not even trying to boot form the cd, I've changed the BIOS, and I've burned the .iso to a disc. | 06:31 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: how did you burn the ISO? | 06:31 |
| histo | KM0201: where? | 06:32 |
| KM0201 | histo: nevermind | 06:32 |
| Keanu | KM0201: Disc Utility on my Mac. | 06:32 |
| histo | KM0201: everything I see says 384MB is the mimimum | 06:32 |

| Keanu | KM0201 histo Sorry, apparently I'm bad at reading. I have 256Mb RAM. | 06:36 |
| KM0201 | that's definitely not enough | 06:37 |
| histo | Keanu: I would look at installing xubuntu or lubuntu something lighter | 06:37 |
| KM0201 | or upgrade your RAM, then jump into this. | 06:37 |
| Keanu | KM0201: xubuntu, lubuntu? | 06:37 |
| KM0201 | !lubuntu | 06:37 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 06:37 |
| KM0201 | !xubuntu | 06:37 |

| histo | Keanu: they are variations of ubuntu | 06:37 |
| histo | Keanu: they both run with less system requirements. | 06:38 |
| Keanu | histo: what's the differences? | 06:38 |
| KM0201 | i'm not even sure how well lubuntu will run w/ 256mb of ram | 06:38 |
| KM0201 | always ran fine for me w/ 1gig though | 06:38 |
| histo | Keanu: the desktop environment | 06:38 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: the difference? Lubuntu doesn't suck. | 06:38 |
| Keanu | histo: What do you mean? | 06:39 |
| histo | Kennochas: lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment xubuntu uses XFCE desktop environment. Ubuntu uses Unity | 06:39 |
| Keanu | KM0201 histo So how do I install lubuntu or xubuntu? | 06:40 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: you have to download the appropriate ISO.. http://www.lubuntu.net | 06:40 |
| KM0201 | and burn it | 06:40 |
| histo | Keanu: or xubuntu.com | 06:40 |
| Keanu | KM0201 histo Which do I want? | 06:41 |
| histo | Keanu: You will find in linux you have many choices between which software to use etc... | 06:41 |
| T4b | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 next to Ubuntu 10.04 (and plan to then later remove 10.04 once im 12.04 everything is set up like I want). But every time I try to boot the cd I burned of 12.04 it just skips to the grub menu. So it's definitely booting the cd for a tiny moment, but then stops for a reason I don't know. WHat could that reason be? | 06:41 |
| KM0201 | Keanu: i'd highly recommend lubuntu.. xubuntu is still bloated in my opinion. | 06:41 |
| histo | Keanu: they're both free I would try them both and see which one you like more. just remember you can run a mindcraft server with only 256MB of ram. | 06:41 |
| histo | Keanu: both have livecd so you can burn their cds and boot that and play around in it. | 06:42 |
| KM0201 | histo: you can or can't run a minecraft server w/ 256mb? | 06:42 |
| LifeSF | keanu: i second what histo says: just download both and try, you will then get a taste of the desktop environment and also see where you feel most at ease to start :) | 06:43 |
| T4b | KM0201: You can in principle, but you'll run out of memory all the time | 06:43 |
| histo | T4b: by grub menu what do you mean? the grub shell? | 06:43 |
| Garr255_ | <KM0201> 256mb total ram no. dedicated to the server ,yes | 06:43 |
| histo | KM0201: cannot there docs say something about 1gig being free | 06:43 |
| T4b | histo: I could choose which os I want to boot, this selection screen | 06:43 |
| histo | T4b: oh your 10.04 grub screen? | 06:44 |

| Shadow` | wth is this, ill use another system, but its ridiculous that 1 tiny IRC package demands the uninstall of these kind of packages that are unrelated to irssi, except for perl -.- | 07:58 |
| somsip | Shadow`: seems to be an error. I got irssi here with all of those with no problems. Can you post some output in pastebin? | 07:59 |
| theadmin | Shadow`: Do you have third-party repositories? Those mess everything up. | 07:59 |
| Shadow` | no error, and no 3rd party repos | 07:59 |

| Shadow` | have yet to ever get any issues with aptitude | 08:04 |
| llutz | Shadow`: aptitude - 64bit and multiarch won't work well at the moment with ANY distro | 08:04 |
| llutz | its an aptitude issue | 08:04 |

| theadmin | caixa: "make" a bootable ISO? That's not really something you're allowed to do, that's up to Microsoft. If you want to burn one, any disc burner in Ubuntu will do. I personally use K3b, but Brasero (comes preinstalled) is also good | 08:07 |

| timfrost | kjp_1212: I am not sure. I suspect that the directory was created by root, and not writeable by you. You can't create a new file in a directory that you can't write to | 08:22 |

| foxtheoldone | yuka look into editing the hosts files on your network pc's | 08:25 |
| W4sp | yuka: I don't get your requirements clearly but would assume that you just edit your /etc/hosts file provided the hosts in questions are not DHCP'ed. | 08:25 |
| yuka | well i got two local ip's | 08:26 |
| yuka | 10.3.182.3, and 10.3.182.4 , my question is how do i set that http://cefdb/ in browser will resolve to 10.3.182.3 and for example http://cefdb1 will resolve to 10.3.182.4 | 08:26 |

| namoamitabuddha | *whether a filesystem is fat12, fat16 or fat32 | 09:20 |
| lordievader | namoamitabuddha: Perhaps fdisk -l shows you? | 09:20 |
| namoamitabuddha | lordievader: It shows the information of disk MBA, but not exactly the filesystem. | 09:21 |
| lordievader | namoamitabuddha: How about gparted? | 09:22 |
| namoamitabuddha | lordievader: It does the same thing. | 09:22 |
| namoamitabuddha | lordievader: and for example, if I'm trying to detect an image file. | 09:22 |

| lordievader | namoamitabuddha: Hmm, perhaps "sudo parted -s /dev/sdb1 print" shows you what you want to know, else I'm afraid I can't be of any help. Rarely work with FAT. | 09:31 |
| W4sp | zazzle: telnet <IPADDR> Not sure if that's what you ask though. | 09:31 |
| W4sp | zazzle: In case it's not the hdefault port use telnet <IPARRD> <PORTNUMBER> | 09:32 |
| zazzle | <W4sp>:I have waited for 5 minutes | 09:32 |
| zazzle | the port is 16000/tcp | 09:32 |
| lordievader | zazzle: Firewall somewhere blocking the port? | 09:32 |
| W4sp | zazzle: You have probably nothing listening on the other side. | 09:33 |
| zazzle | no,it just saying "escape character is '^]'" | 09:33 |
| djjeff | check netstat to make sure the host is listning on the port you want | 09:33 |
| zazzle | can I telnet someone without interupt him? | 09:35 |
| GeorgeJ | Hello folks! | 09:35 |
| W4sp | zazzle: telnet is meant to interact as a terminal with a system. It's not to chat to someone. | 09:35 |
| lordievader | zazzle: May I ask why you use telnet instead of ssh? | 09:35 |
| zazzle | just for fun,I'm new to linux and want to give my neighbor a surprise :p | 09:36 |
| abhishek | zazzle: "escape character is '^]'" this means you are connected ... type this character and you will get telnet prompt | 09:36 |
| W4sp | zazzle: What do you have on port 16000? | 09:36 |
| GeorgeJ | I'm having a very strange, reocurring issue(I don't know how to reproduce it though, it seems to start randomly). When I right click within a window, the context menu loses focus over the window, everytime. | 09:36 |
| GeorgeJ | It would appear as if the context menu doesn't even appear, however if i click somewheren ear the right edge of a window, the context menu is shown, but the window is above it. | 09:37 |
| GeorgeJ | This happens with all windows. Is this a know issue? How can this be fixed? | 09:37 |
| zazzle | W4sp:I have nothing on 16000,but want to connect to my neighbor through that port | 09:38 |

| Guest46623 | is here any one here man enough to help me in my problem | 09:56 |
| lordievader | Jotek: Jockey = additional drivers. | 09:56 |
| Jotek | lordievader: gonna check, one sec | 09:56 |
| W4sp | GeorgeJ: OK, i will figure it out for you. Regrettably I don't use unity nor GNOME. But I will somewhat find it out as I have all this installed. | 09:56 |
| no-n | found the solution to my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595456 | 09:57 |
| rgr | eek. So its broken? I wonder how. | 09:57 |
| GeorgeJ | W4sp: Well, the issue rarely occurs. I'll keep search for autoraise. There seems to be no mention of this when searching the web. | 09:58 |
| lordievader | Jotek: Also what card do you have? I see on nVidia's website several under GeForce 2 MX. | 09:58 |
| GeorgeJ | The issue seems to apply to ALL pop-ups(even browser dropdowns). | 09:58 |
| ThinkT510 | GeorgeJ: are you using unity? | 09:58 |
| GeorgeJ | ThinkT510: I am. | 09:58 |
| W4sp | GeorgeJ: Do you have ccsm? Terminal and 'ccsm &' should give you that. But ccsm isn't really supported. | 09:58 |
| GeorgeJ | W4sp: I do have ccsm. | 09:59 |
| ThinkT510 | GeorgeJ: just so you know, it is not recommended to change settings in ccsm, it can break unity | 09:59 |
| Jotek | lordievader: I have Jockey already on my pc, and nope, it doesnt works. My card is GeForce2 MX | 09:59 |
| GeorgeJ | Restarting the X session would probably fix this(it did before), but this isn't really a fix. | 09:59 |
| GeorgeJ | ThinkT510: I've not changed any settings using ccsm, afair. | 09:59 |
| W4sp | ThinkT510: Please go ahead as I do not have GNOME in use. The issue is an off behavior that I belive is related to sloppy focus, auto-raise and active window hover mouse. | 09:59 |
| GeorgeJ | The issue randomly occurs. | 10:00 |
| W4sp | s/off/odd | 10:00 |
| GeorgeJ | W4sp: I've found auto-raise. It is not enabled. | 10:00 |
| GeorgeJ | Enabling it does not fix the issue. | 10:01 |
| Jotek | lordievader: I have found an "nvidia96" driver for my card in repository (Synaptic) but I cannot download it. | 10:01 |
| SEEVCar | hi i think i have a 64bit cpu how can i tell? | 10:02 |
| lordievader | Jotek: If the current driver really isn't working out you might try a manual install of the closed-source driver. | 10:02 |
| lordievader | Jotek: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/35555 | 10:02 |

| GeorgeJ | Meh, I' | 10:04 |

| Jotek | lordievader: why? | 10:04 |
| SEEVCar | iv got a amd sempron 3000+ | 10:04 |

| Jotek | lordievader: I cannot find there my graphic card :/. | 10:06 |
| GeorgeJ | Actually, killing compiz(so it restarts) seems to have worked just fine! | 10:06 |
| lordievader | Jotek: Nope it still is, I quote the manual: Prior to beginning the installation, you should exit the X server and kill all OpenGL applications | 10:06 |
| lordievader | Jotek: It's under legacy, it is quite an old card. | 10:06 |
| Jotek | lordievader: yup, I know, so there is nothing to do? | 10:06 |

| Jake232 | I',m having trouble connecting to memcached from outsie localhost, but I think the issue is probably my usage of ufw | 10:59 |
| Jake232 | This should allow me to connect to port 12111 correct? https://gist.github.com/8aa3c0c6f5e0e16cf741 | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !info memcached | 11:04 |
| ubottu | memcached (source: memcached): A high-performance memory object caching system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.13-0ubuntu2 (precise), package size 71 kB, installed size 217 kB | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea what that does from its description... ;) | 11:05 |
| Jake232 | Well, I guess my question extends to anything, rather than memcached. I don't think its memcached not accepting connections to the port | 11:06 |
| Jake232 | It's more likely ubuntu in some way | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | port forwarding/firewalling fundamentals.. ;) | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 11:06 |
| Jake232 | Yeah, I've read through that, which is how I got to https://gist.github.com/8aa3c0c6f5e0e16cf741 | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i rarely mess with the firewall stuff | 11:07 |
| Jake232 | and it works on localhost, telnet localhost 11211 | 11:07 |
| Jake232 | works perfectly | 11:07 |
| Jake232 | however telnet server.ip 11211 just gets "Trying 50.116.28.13…" and then hangs | 11:07 |

| Jake232 | Dr_Willis: works perfect when I turn off ufw | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | uses the noevau drivers by default | 11:11 |
| KeithWeisshar | what card does the noveau driver support | 11:11 |
| susundberg | !noveau | 11:12 |
| susundberg | :/ | 11:12 |
| KeithWeisshar | i have gtx 570 hd | 11:12 |
| MonkeyDust | !nouveau | 11:12 |
| ubottu | nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. | 11:12 |
| KeithWeisshar | noveau doesn't work on my gtx 570 hd | 11:12 |

| Dr_Willis | noveau seema best with cards that have been out a while | 11:13 |
| hellyeah | is it possible to make "memtest" in livesystem | 11:14 |
| fidel | hellyeah: the ubuntu install cd should come with a memtest option which you should be able to select during startup | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | grub2 i thought had memtest on it here. theres an option in /etc/default/grub to add/hide it | 11:15 |
| fidel | hellyeah: so yeah - should work in general - as the official memtest iso is some kind of live-system as well | 11:15 |
| hellyeah | root@ubuntu:~# memtest86 | 11:16 |
| hellyeah | memtest86: command not found | 11:16 |
| fidel | hellyeah: so your question is: is memtest preinstalled? | 11:16 |
| hellyeah | yeah | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | memtest will be on the grub menu... | 11:16 |
| hellyeah | memtest brings with live system or nıt? | 11:17 |
| hellyeah | yeah but i am on the live system | 11:17 |
| hellyeah | i have hardwares problem | 11:17 |
| hellyeah | and i need to check on live system | 11:17 |

| fidel | !tr > hellyeah | 11:21 |
| ubottu | hellyeah, please see my private message | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | select memtest... befor it asks to try/install | 11:21 |
| fidel | hellyeah: consider asking in the turkish support as well - might be easier for you. | 11:21 |

| jrib | quick-: and what behavior does grub display? | 13:12 |
| dhez | I had a quick question: ive just installed ubuntu 12.04, changed the desktop to gnome (it appeals to me more than unity) and installed the basic things. I wanted to ask what steps i should take to learn the ins and outs of the OS better(ubuntu and/or linux in general? Any recommendations? | 13:12 |

| x010100x | jrib: you see I have the cfg file but it shows errors after any file change | 13:13 |
| jrib | quick-: what does grub do? Does it still wait? Is the countdown different than 10? How long is it? | 13:13 |
| x010100x | jrib: for example if I change a word the nagios shows this error: Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration. | 13:14 |
| quick- | jrib: The countdown is still the same . i guess it s0 . It shows the screen like a spalsh and then boots into ubuntu | 13:14 |
| x010100x | jrib: is weird that after just a word changed everything mess up >_< | 13:14 |
| x010100x | permissions are 777 to files and dirs | 13:15 |
| jrib | x010100x: I don't know anything about nagios. You should ask the channel in general (not address me). I suggest you: 1) post the configuration file before and after your changes, 2) state whether the error is displayed before you make your changes, 3) pastebin the entire error in full | 13:15 |

| BluesKaj | danpsy, too many primary partitions , you're allowed only 4 , if you feel adventurous you could delete the Windows reserved / recovery , then you could use the unallocated one as ext4 for linux | 13:32 |

| llutz_ | quick-: but if you cannot access grub-menu, you won't be able to boot into ubuntu then | 13:53 |
| theadmin | llutz_: One can always access the grub menu, even with timeout=0, one can simply hold left shift down on the "Loading GRUB..." screen (which lasts for like 3 seconds even on the very fast modern machines) | 13:54 |

| Dr_Willis | mejo: i dont see any gain by avoiding the propity drivers | 14:35 |
| llutz_ | daemon: set your dns either in the networkmanager-connections or in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/* | 14:35 |
| mejo | Dr_Willis: sounds to me like I will not take nvidia ;) | 14:35 |
| daemon | end_guy, yes | 14:35 |
| daemon | Package network-manager is not installed though | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | mejo: ati is worse.. so that leaves intel.. | 14:35 |
| llutz_ | daemon: use "nameservers a.b.c.d e.f.g.h" in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:35 |
| end_guy | daemon: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 | 14:36 |
| daemon | llutz, ah than kyou | 14:36 |
| mejo | Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll do some research regarding intel dual-head support | 14:36 |
| llutz_ | daemon: use "dns-nameservers a.b.c.d e.f.g.h" in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:36 |
| docBrown_ | i have three nameserver entries in my resolv.conf file; one was there already and two i added using /resolv.conf.d/tail ... how can i remove the first one that was there to begin with? | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | mejo: nvidia works better for dualhead.. moar power/features | 14:37 |
| daemon | llutz, works perfectly; thank you :), thank you also end_guy | 14:37 |

| tripolar | hi | 14:47 |
| tripolar | how can i deactivate plymouth in ubuntu? | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !plymouth | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a text plymouth theme that basically turns it off. or use the 'text' boot option | 14:48 |
| Pumpkin- | I'm installing Ubuntu on a temporary desktop for some testing, and I need to buy a second NIC for that testing. When I installed, it identified the machine as a Compaq-MODELNUMBER (because that was the default hostname for the machine). Now I have installed, is there any way I can get it to tell me what that model number is (to save me a long walk to find out - and so I can buy the correct NIC - I suspect I need a low profile one). | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | or try the 'nosplash' kernel option | 14:48 |
| dv310p3r | Dr_Willis, ok, just restart into .27 kernel, same thing. | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | dv310p3r: id have to suggest checking the forums an d askubuntu.com i rarely touch intel video. | 14:50 |
| dv310p3r | thanks | 14:50 |
| dv310p3r | Dr_Willis, thanks, I'll do hat. | 14:50 |
| nitrohax | interesting thing i just learned. you can turn your swapdrive on/off. | 14:51 |
| llutz_ | nitrohax: sudo swapon/swapoff | 14:51 |
| Dr_Willis | youcan have several swap partitions. | 14:52 |
| nitrohax | llutz> it wasn't showing a swap drive so i went into gparted and saw the option "swapon" now things run better. | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | nitrohax: check fstab for a swap line | 14:53 |
| nitrohax | Dr_Willis> it's there. all good now. I'm not sure why it was even turned off or when. one of those thinsg | 14:54 |

| jagosix | I use crossover Office 11.2.0 and was wondering, does anyone here use it? If so I need some input and help. | 15:03 |
| phildaian | Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had experience doing 2x1440p or 3x1440p monitors in Ubuntu. I'm looking at a 6870 for this (all productivity, non-gaming), but I'm not sure if the Linux drivers on current Ubuntu are capable of doing dual or triple 1440p, and I'm open to a different card | 15:03 |
| mzuverink | MonkeyDust, in previous releases it seems to have been incomplete, as in they did put much attention to classic. Does it seem that they put the proper amount of attention to in now? | 15:03 |
| docBrown_ | i have three nameserver entries in my resolv.conf file; one was there already and two i added using /resolv.conf.d/tail ... how can i remove the first one that was there to begin with? | 15:04 |

| compdoc | docBrown_, where does it come from? /resolv.conf.d/body? | 15:04 |
| compdoc | I would just delete it from resolv.conf | 15:05 |
| docBrown_ | compdoc: i dont see it in any of the files in /resolv.conf.d/ | 15:05 |
| docBrown_ | compdoc: ok ill try that | 15:05 |

| compdoc | docBrown_, there are several files in these distros like Ubuntu that once you edit it, the OS leaves it alone. Not all config files are that way, but several are | 15:06 |
| compdoc | gtg - good luck | 15:06 |

I will just need to download and install to check for myself. I appreciate your quick response. I am not a fam of the whole shell game, it is a shame in my opinion that linux as a whole, in terms of desktop distibutio | 15:07 |

| Pumpkin- | any idea why "cu -l ttyS0" gives me "Permission Denied", even if run with sudo (but chmod'ing /dev/ttyS0 to 777 fixes it) ?. | 15:08 |
| tripolar | how can i disable plymouth? text as kernel boot option doesnt seem to work | 15:08 |
| MonkeyDust | mzuverink yeah, try it and decide for yourself, if you find bugs or have ideas, use launchpad or !brainstorm | 15:08 |
| mzuverink | MonkeyDust, Thanks, I appreciate the response, downloading now... | 15:09 |
| kelvinella | lets say my brother is using the computer with user name bro and i ssh into it with user me. when i do ls-l /media/USB shows "bro" as permission and i cant access it | 15:09 |

| hidn_shadows | Mbeierl because docky just took up a third of my screen and it was working fine before, I'm assuming that's it. | 16:12 |

| TriBeCa99 | I have GRUB on the SSD, so the HDDs in the RAID shouldn't need it afaik | 16:36 |
| usr13 | dell: Just teasing, (an attempt at humor - alluding to the fact that my computer says "Dell" on the front of it.) | 16:36 |
| dell | why you words is red | 16:38 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Yes, that's correct. I didn't know the first part and noticed you're not assisted yet. Hence my comment re. GRUB. If you boot from SSD, then mounting your array it 'should' work. Should... ;-) | 16:38 |
| dell | usr13 | 16:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dell: cause he highlighted you | 16:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | by saying your name | 16:38 |
| SnapSnap | Anyone know of a PGP or Seahorse channel? | 16:38 |
| dell | so i can say someone's name, | 16:39 |
| === marrusl_ is now known as marrusl | ||
| dell | and highlight ? | 16:39 |
| TriBeCa99 | my plan was to take out 1 of the RAID disks, boot degraded, assemble a new degraded array, copy /home over to it, destroy the old array, and put in the last disks for the new array | 16:39 |
| vishet | hi can someone help me with something i have linuxmint maya and got help getting here because I have a problem with my computer | 16:39 |
| TriBeCa99 | however, i can't boot degraded at all, although in principle it SHOULD work | 16:39 |
| dell | this is an amazing place | 16:40 |
| W4sp | SnapSnap: PGP is commercial, you may need to look for GnuPG or GPG. Seahorse come from the GNOME tree and is part of GNOME | 16:40 |
| dell | usr13:do you think so? | 16:40 |
| SnapSnap | W4sp: Thanks | 16:40 |
| W4sp | SnapSnap: YOu can also ask questions of it is Ubuntu related, ie seahorse, GPG. | 16:41 |
| vishet | i get the option s mount manually ... or d recovery before i get to linux and one time i probably by acident pressed d and it stared memtest and never stopped, re installed linux mint but still have the problem | 16:41 |
| aboudreault | damn... I think I'm experiencing this issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670581 | 16:41 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 670581 in src:ntp "openssl: ntpd segfaults with error 4 in libcrypto.so.0.9.8 on Debian squeeze" [Important,Open] | 16:41 |
| vishet | i think after talking to people at linucmint chat that its because i used a usb before i restared the computer | 16:41 |
| wilee-nilee | vishet, This is ubuntu support we can only help there, try ##linuxmint ;) | 16:41 |

| ubottu | vishet: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 16:42 |
| vishet | ok but they sent me here | 16:42 |
| jrib | vishet: why would they send you here? This channel is for ubuntu, not mint | 16:42 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Guest66987 | ||
| vishet | because they dont understand whats wrong with my computor i guess and though you might no more about this kind of installation error? | 16:43 |
| vishet | i have no idea | 16:44 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp are you able to help? | 16:44 |
| dell | usr13:how to change my nickname? | 16:44 |
| usr13 | vishet: memtest stops when (and only when) you hit the Esc key. | 16:45 |
| SnapSnap | Okay. More of a curiosity than a problem: When verifying a signature, GPG tells you when the signature was created. When creating the signature, does the program consult the system time, or does GPG just look at the signature's creation/modification date when verifying? | 16:45 |

| Guest66987 | Hey guys, Can someone help me to get my 5.1 surround working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 16:45 |
| vishet | usr13 i know but it did not stop so i reinstalled linux that problem is solved | 16:45 |
| usr13 | dell: /nick <new-nick> | 16:46 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: I don't know. I understand that you need assistance in setting up aRAID array. The best is to post the question all in one paragraph. They all come and go and chances are that your problem can be solved. | 16:46 |
| phasma | may I request assistance with fixing my resolution, please? I have an sis 771 and using the driver as directed by this page: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis - The laptop supports 1440x900 but I am only getting 1280x768.

| ldp | Guys, I need some help with audio | 16:48 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Do you use a KVM? | 16:48 |
| vishet | usr13 is that a permenent problem or will it disapear if i reinstall? | 16:49 |
| ldp | HDMI audio on my nvidia card isn't being detected | 16:49 |
| ldp | and I followed the troubleshooting guide | 16:49 |
| ldp | but there's no alsa update for my current kernel version | 16:49 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: AFAIK you need an alternate ISO image. What ISO is in use? | 16:49 |
| usr13 | shade34321: What kind of keyboard is it? | 16:50 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Does it work in tty6 ? | 16:50 |
| Ibra25 | ciao! | 16:50 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: But I'm on thin ice and would prefer if someone else gives expertise. But let's see how far we can get. | 16:50 |
| ldp | anyone? :/ | 16:51 |
| vishet | usr13 if not how could i check what the problem is i already checked something that is called fstab and it looked fine | 16:51 |
| TriBeCa99 | I have a 12.04 liveCD if that's what you mean. If I have to work from a liveCD I'm a bit confused--I installed mdadm in the liveCD but I can't seem to see the existing RAID | 16:51 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Oh, sorry... you probably don't know because you can't get to tty6, never mind. | 16:51 |
| Ibra25 | !addon | 16:51 |
| SnapSnap | dell: me too, but it's not a problem so I can take my time looking for an answer | 16:51 |

| shade34321 | usr13: no I am not using KVM. It's a dell keyboard. | 16:52 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Does the display look normal? (Screensize is correct for monitor.?) | 16:52 |
| shade34321 | usr13: I am able to login to the machine through ssh | 16:52 |
| shade34321 | usr13: yes | 16:52 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: OK, let me see what I can figure out. IT's perhaps down to the wrong image and easy to fix. | 16:52 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Is the keyboard USB or PS2 ....? | 16:52 |
| dell | SnapSnap:Take time to do what I want, Nice guy | 16:52 |
| TriBeCa99 | I have 12.04 desktop x64 | 16:52 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did you try un-plugging and plugging it back in again? | 16:52 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: OK, let me see what I can figure out. IT's perhaps down to the wrong image and easy to fix. | 16:53 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Does keyboard work at grub screen? | 16:53 |
| shade34321 | usr13: both are USB. Yes I have unplugged them, used different keyboard/mice/, put them in different ports | 16:53 |
| shade34321 | usr13: yes it works at grub screen. Booting into an older kernel does not fix the issue | 16:53 |
| TriBeCa99 | fwiw, 'sudo mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0' returns "cannot open /dev/md0" | 16:54 |
| shade34321 | usr13: The keyboard and mouse seem to work all the way up until the login screen where it does. I am able to get to a VT while it's loading but unable to login completely | 16:54 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did you try failsafe mode? (or "text-only" mode?) | 16:55 |
| coldpizza72i | When i boot my computer… right after the motherboard screen my display looses signal. | 16:55 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Does your dmesg inform you that md0 is detected? | 16:55 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Ok, then it is a problem with xorg | 16:55 |
| abletony84 | Have two identical backup HDs here. Is there a nice way to keep the secondary one in sync with the primary one? | 16:56 |
| abletony84 | I.e. when files on the primary are added, deleted, modified or renamed -- so that I don't have to repeat stuff over at the secondary one. | 16:56 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp dmesg prints kind of a lot of text... how do i check for md0 specifically? | 16:56 |
| shade34321 | usr13: xorg won't load the drivers. In the log it shows that it sees them but then says No input driver specified, ignoring this device | 16:56 |
| usr13 | shade34321: do you have an xorg.conf file? | 16:57 |
| usr13 | shade34321: If so, remove it. | 16:57 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did you just install a new kernel? or...? | 16:57 |
| abletony84 | TriBeCa99: dmesg | grep md0 | 16:57 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: you can 'sudo cat /var/log/dmesg |grep md0' if it's found it will give output. | 16:57 |
| shade34321 | usr13: right now I don't...I purged xorg and reinstalled it. I just did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to see if it fixes it. I recently upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 | 16:58 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: ubuntu doesnt have a "dmesg" command? | 16:58 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did it work after the upgrade? | 16:58 |
| coldpizza72i | I think i accidentally uninstalled my graphics driver… any ideas what i should do? | 16:58 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp abletony84 nothing | 16:58 |
| shade34321 | usr13: I'm about to go check on it, may take me a sec since I have to go downstairs slowly with my crutches. Yes it worked but while configuring the Nvidia drivers it stopped after a reboot | 16:58 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did you do: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 16:58 |
| shade34321 | usr13: no but I did mv them yesterday so they no longer reside there but rather under /root just in case | 16:59 |
| usr13 | shade34321: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf #What does that say? | 16:59 |
| shade34321 | usr13: there isnt a xorg.conf file there | 17:00 |
| usr13 | shade34321: hummm.. that is interesting. And your keyboard and mouse are both USB? | 17:01 |
| W4sp | abletony84: It has but I'm an OpenBSD girl. It's better to stay safe. You'r right, your command is shorter and better. | 17:01 |
| shade34321 | usr13: yes | 17:01 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Try PS2 mouse and keyboard. | 17:01 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: cool, im an openbsd boy | 17:01 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Just plug in a ps2 keyboard and see if it works. | 17:02 |
| abletony84 | i was actually gonna recommend openbsd's sexy blue dmesg | 17:02 |
| shade34321 | usr13: should I try and get a xorg.conf file? or am I better off without one? | 17:02 |
| abletony84 | it's ridiculously cool | 17:02 |
| usr13 | shade34321: For now, you are better off without one, but after you solve the keyboard/mouse problem(s) you can do nvidia-xconfig from text mode. | 17:03 |
| W4sp | abletony84: Grand. :-) I make a mental note of your nick. I hope our paths will cross again. Are you on -current? | 17:03 |
| Growling | irc.office.xs4all.nl | 17:03 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: yeah that'd be cool | 17:03 |
| shade34321 | usr13: ok. Well I just rebooted that computer. Headed downstairs to see if they are working...brb | 17:03 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: nope release | 17:03 |
| kasturi | Hello all, i am having a small mobile internet problem | 17:03 |
| usr13 | shade34321: You an do it now, I supppose, but I doubt it will fix anything. | 17:03 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Ok | 17:03 |
| Jayflux | hey guys, when preseeding I get the filename and the answer, but where do you find the question string? For debconf-get-selections. | 17:04 |
| usr13 | shade34321: *can* not *an* | 17:04 |
| W4sp | abletony84: I need to see how hibernation does in -current as I have the platform for it. But at the same time it's my day-in-day-out laptop for everything and that's read as 'production'. At the end of the day, obsd requires 15 secs to boot. :-) | 17:05 |
| kasturi | hello, i am using 3g internet through mobile at wired usb connection, but unable to go above 15kbps, can anyone help ? | 17:05 |
| ariqz | that sounds like gprs to me, kasturi | 17:06 |
| THAMER | hello | 17:06 |
| TriBeCa99 | soooo W4sp, abletony84, any help with the RAID scenario? If I can't at all boot to a degraded array, I'm going to have to be able to get /home off of a degraded array from a liveCD onto a 'new' degraded array... then get the new array healthy and be able to boot into my 12.04 install | 17:06 |
| THAMER | ? | 17:07 |
| TriBeCa99 | or actually here's another idea. | 17:07 |
| kasturi | yes, but that is all iam getting, i am able to get hi speeds with windows 7 though | 17:07 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: openbsd sounds perfect for you girl! | 17:08 |
| abletony84 | *high five* | 17:08 |
| TriBeCa99 | all the data in /home is backed up to another machine already. Could I just delete the non system files in /home, boot with the array intact, make a copy on my 60GB SSD and mount to that, and then just take the current array offline entirely? | 17:08 |
| abletony84 | they say "perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away" | 17:08 |
| abletony84 | to me, openbsd is what happens when the right people take charge ;) | 17:08 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: IF your RAID is on /home can you change fstab and mount your RAID (after you logged in) to /mnt/blabla? | 17:08 |
| W4sp | abletony84: Do you refer to Theo? | 17:10 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp I'm shutting down the live session, will do so in a sec | 17:11 |
| TriBeCa99 | try that, that is | 17:11 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: OK, fine. | 17:11 |
| abletony84 | W4sp: theo is a baaaaad mother... | 17:12 |
| abletony84 | but nah not just him | 17:12 |
| gandhijee_ | hey, how the heck can i cross compile for 32bit in ubuntu 12.04? | 17:12 |
| gandhijee_ | i can't even install the 32bits with out a huge number of conflictrsa | 17:12 |
| gandhijee_ | and pretty much making userspace 32bits | 17:12 |
| abletony84 | just generally the people at the top, they dont take in all the bullshit and stupid ideas most other os'es do.. like freebsd or whatever | 17:12 |
| W4sp | abletony84: You're probably right. The risk is why devs should bother to contribute if friendly projects are out there. The misc@ and #openbsd are hostile territory at best. ;-) | 17:13 |

| TriBeCa99 | W4sp If I change fstab to put md0 on /mnt/blabla won't it bork my installation? how will i be able to log back in? | 17:16 |
| sportsfreund20 | somebody told me the solution a few days ago | 17:16 |
| abletony84 | oh yeah OT | 17:16 |

| genii-around | gandhijee_: Might want to try installing the -dev packages you need specifying i386 ...eg: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev:i386 | 17:16 |

| sportsfreund20 | (http://rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html) | 17:17 |
| sportsfreund20 | but I dont know how to do that | 17:17 |
| sportsfreund20 | can somebody give me some tipps? | 17:17 |
| usr13 | !grub | sportsfreund20 | 17:17 |
| ubottu | sportsfreund20: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 17:17 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: That's not what I meant. Sorry. Instead of automount your RAID to mntpoint /home use /dev/alternate and mount to /home temporarily. Mount /dev/md0 on /mnt/... | 17:18 |
| shade34321 | usr13: still doesn't work | 17:18 |
| sportsfreund20 | grub doesnt recognize my windows 7 SSD.. @ usr13 | 17:18 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: That way your /home is alive and you can work the /dev/md0 | 17:18 |
| TriBeCa99 | the only other device (other than swap) is already mounted to "/" | 17:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | is there any way to change the order of what is on the right click menu when i right click in a terminal window? | 17:19 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Did you try ps2? | 17:19 |
| TriBeCa99 | don't i need to make a copy of /home first? | 17:19 |
| shade34321 | I don't think it has a ps2 port | 17:20 |
| usr13 | sportsfreund20: Win7 is beyond the scope of my interest. | 17:20 |
| usr13 | sportsfreund20: But, I do know this, many others are using grub to boot Win7 so.... | 17:21 |
| usr13 | sportsfreund20: (... just not me ...) | 17:21 |
| kasturi | got disconnected for while, anyone for mobile internet solution, i am only getting 15kbps max, when connecting to 3g connection | 17:21 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp I see what you're getting at, and that's probably the best approach, however please assure me I don't need any of the contents of /home copied to the device that will mount it in future | 17:22 |
| shade34321 | usr13: I don't think there is a ps/2 port | 17:24 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: I don't see that it would do that way. Do you have shiploads of disk space? I would consider dd them to a save place. | 17:24 |

| usr13 | shade34321: Do the usb ports work for anything else? (Test and see...) | 17:25 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp the data contents of /home are all backed up on the 6TB RAID10 on the computer i'm currently typing at you from | 17:25 |
| Kre10s | so i upgraded to 12.04 LTS and to my unpleasant surprise wireless did not work anymore... I did a quick google search and found that many others also had this problem. however i could not find any definitive fix. I have a BCM4313 which driver works best with that? | 17:26 |
| shade34321 | usr13: it wrote a new xorg.conf file, reboot now? I will stick a USB drive in them when I go down in a sec | 17:26 |
| TriBeCa99 | so i could, e.g., delete the data out of /home and copy it | 17:26 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Ok | 17:26 |
| kasturi | anyone for mobile internet solution, i am only getting 15kbps max, when connecting to 3g connection | 17:26 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Yeah. And there is / with the all the configs. It's jsut that you need to stay on the safe side as there is not time for loosers and no space left for goof-ups. | 17:27 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: (just saying... ) | 17:27 |
| TriBeCa99 | so... you're suggesting what, exactly? | 17:27 |
| udit | yeah | 17:28 |
| TriBeCa99 | a) edit fstab so md0 mounts to /mnt/blabla instead of /home, and then... ? | 17:28 |

| W4sp | TriBeCa99: I can see we sing from the same hymnsheet. | 17:30 |
| Areckx | ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.168.1.142:22: Name or service not known | 17:31 |
| TriBeCa99 | okay, let's see how this goes | 17:32 |
| Areckx | This is my iPhone, I used to be able to SSH but out of nowhere it stopped working.. | 17:32 |
| usr13 | Areckx: drop the last : ? | 17:32 |
| sportsfreund20 | how can i find out if grub is installed porperly? | 17:32 |
| usr13 | Areckx: (unless that is just part of the error message...) | 17:33 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: OK, I stay tuned and cross my fingers. If there's anything you need me for I'll be available for you. | 17:33 |
| Areckx | usr13:: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.142 port 22: No route to host | 17:33 |
| usr13 | Areckx: Are you sure the IP os correct? | 17:33 |
| sportsfreund20 | and when i look with "gparted" where is the "Efi System Partition"?? | 17:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | by mount manually, you meant unmount manually correct? | 17:33 |
| Areckx | yes I am staring at it right now | 17:33 |
| usr13 | o | 17:33 |
| TriBeCa99 | fstab line is commented, no i need to unmount /home and create it on the / partition? | 17:33 |
| Areckx | I didn't change anything on my iPhone, and this is a fresh isntall of ubuntu 10.04, it worked fine then out of nowhere sstopped | 17:34 |
| usr13 | Areckx: nmap -p22 192.168.1.142 | 17:34 |
| Areckx | I tried reinstalling openssh on iPhone | 17:34 |
| usr13 | Areckx: Sounds like you are on wrong network... | 17:35 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Sorry That's just me trying to be careful. If it's in automount it may attempt to repair things. So if you umount /home and mount it back after reboot it may try to fix things you don't want to fix manually. | 17:35 |
| amokpaule | Hello, i have a very long start command in java for a programm. Is there a so that it will appaear short in ps ax so that i can kill it easier? | 17:35 |
| Areckx | no that's not the case | 17:35 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: ... upi don't want to be fixed automaticaly. | 17:36 |
| Areckx | usr13:: Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN | 17:37 |
| Areckx | Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.06 seconds | 17:37 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Does it make sense? I suggested not to run automount for /dev/md0 as things may break and we don;t want to have any fsck modding the drives. | 17:37 |
| TriBeCa99 | W4sp i'm not sure i understand | 17:37 |
| TriBeCa99 | i've commented out the line in fstab that mounts /home on fstab... what did you want me to do now? | 17:38 |
| usr13 | Areckx: Again, sounds like you are not on the network. | 17:38 |
| Areckx | usr13:: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1157560/ | 17:38 |
| TriBeCa99 | btw I'm no longer in the liveCD session, I rebooted into my ubuntu installation | 17:38 |
| Areckx | usr13:: yes they are both connected to the same netowork! | 17:38 |
| Areckx | I triple checked usr13 | 17:39 |
| eyepatch | I'm trying to get both ati and nvidia drivers for my two video cards, is this possible? my ati driver install is failing atm. | 17:40 |
| Areckx | usr13:: it worked on the other router I was connected to, but the admin plays videogames and would randomly turn off wireless so I connectefd to the router downstairs which is on a different modem and then SSH stopped working | 17:41 |
| usr13 | Areckx: There is your answer: "22/tcp filtered ssh" | 17:41 |
| Areckx | usr13:: how do I fix it | 17:41 |
| Areckx | ? | 17:41 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: That's what I meant referring to SSD. So... comment out /etc/fstab for /dev/md0, umount /dev/md0 (then do with it whatever you want) but have /home/<youruser> available just in case you need another login. Get the SSD system into single user mode of course so no users can bother you. | 17:42 |
| usr13 | Areckx: I don't know. Could be your router is blocking port 22? | 17:42 |
| Areckx | usr13:: ahhh I see, I can fix that I am basically the admin | 17:42 |
| usr13 | Areckx: (I don't know anything about your LAN so....) | 17:42 |
| TriBeCa99 | so now i umount /dev/md0 and mkdir /home/<myuser>? | 17:43 |
| shade34321 | usr13: It is recognizing other USB products, I just plugged in 4 different USB drives and it recognizes all of them | 17:44 |
| W4sp | TriBeCa99: Yes, I would do that. But if you are unsure about those things it's better not to do it. | 17:44 |
| usr13 | shade34321: Ok, good. Another issue eliminated | 17:46 |
| TriBeCa99 | ah, yeah. "/home: device is busy" | 17:46 |
| usr13 | shade34321: So, you how have /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 17:46 |
| usr13 | shade34321: lsb_release -r #Tell us what that says. | 17:47 |

| usr13 | Praxi: Run firefox from terminal | 17:49 |

| shade34321 | usr13: lsb_release -r says Release: 12.04 | 17:51 |
| usr13 | shade34321: you just upgraded from _________ ? | 17:51 |

| TriBeCa99 | minimec ty | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, run this first for getting the boot script eventually. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo apt-get install boot_info_script | 18:34 |
| erictr1ck | minimec: thanks for pointing that out. have you had any issues after updating the kernel? | 18:34 |
| quick- | amokpaule: You can do a reverser search to get the cmd or make an alias | 18:34 |
| kashminder | how can i install themes in ubuntu | 18:35 |
| kashminder | ?? | 18:35 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, then this sudo boot_info_script | pastebinit then post the http address you get | 18:35 |
| quick- | amokpaule: reverse search not reverser search | 18:35 |
| sarsaeol | kashminder: usually you just put the theme package into your /home/.themes and it will show up in the appearance menus | 18:35 |
| leehambley | is there any way to "restore" /usr/bin/sv - I've accidentally removed it (well, bad Chef recipe) | 18:35 |
| leehambley | it was symlinked to /etc/init.d/nginx | 18:36 |
| sarsaeol | kashminder: beyond that im not sure | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, if you are still in root with a chroot I don't think you are since you rebooted, sudo is not needed in root. | 18:36 |
| kashminder | sarsaeol: its not working | 18:36 |
| natschil | wilee-nilee: sure. What would you be looking for in whatever fdisk -l returns? my theory is that there is some sort of "restore" functionality somewhere that "restores" the mbr to what windows wants it to be | 18:36 |
| loganrun | i just plugged in two hard drives into a computer. the two hard drives are a raid 1 array. I am booting from a third hard drive. How do I mount the raid array. There is no /dev/md0. I tried mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1, but it says /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array and askes me if I want to continue. not sure what to do | 18:36 |
| leehambley | (ahh, got it, reinstalling runit) | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, fdisk wont help | 18:36 |
| minimec | erictr1ck: I am testing two kernels. The 3.4 kernel from the ubuntu kernel mainline repo, and the 3.2.27-44 kernel from ubuntu kernel pre proposed ppa. The 3.4 kernel gives me some USB3 issues. 3.2.27-44 is working ok. | 18:36 |
| kashminder | sarsaeol: its not working | 18:37 |
| quick- | kashminder: check out this http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-install-gnome-themes-in-ubuntu-11-10-tip/ | 18:37 |

| minimec | erictr1ck: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/pre-proposed/ | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, I hope that on a alternative that the two apps the pastebinit and bootscript will down load this would be easier from a live cd with a desktop. | 18:38 |
| usr13 | natschil: Sorry, but would need to know which it is, sda8 or sda9 (One may be / and the other may be /home but I don't know, only you can tell.) | 18:39 |

| Areckx | usr13:: thank you so much for your help, it kept my brain from screaming | 18:39 |
| natschil | usr13: my root partition is sda9 | 18:39 |
| usr13 | Areckx: How did you fix it? | 18:39 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil, is this a msdos partitioning set up not another | 18:40 |
| usr13 | natschil: Then you should be able to designate it as root partition in the rescue mode and then re-install grub to the MBR | 18:40 |
| Areckx | usr13:: Exactly what I mentioned, I had to remove openssh on my iphone, delete the folder with ssh keys [/etc/.ssh] restart, and reinstall openssh, it was all iphone side | 18:40 |
| erictr1ck | minimec: thanks! bookmarked it and am going to order up my new ai7 machine :) | 18:41 |
| natschil | usr13: wilee-nilee: I just noticed an error message "prefix is not set" pop up a moment before the livecd bootloader starts. It might be related.(well probably it is) | 18:41 |
| usr13 | Areckx: Ok, good. | 18:41 |

| natschil_ | usr13: wilee-nilee: It seems that some sort of recovery program *is* overwriting the mbr, due to the fact that I get the option of whether to boot a "startup help" or not a "startup help" only after I have just installed grub. Hence, it knows that the mbr has been changed, meaning it must have installed grub successfuly. | 18:49 |
| Freeaqingme | wilee-nilee, I will try even harder ;) | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | natschil_, So what is this recovery program you imagine is it windows based or linux? | 18:50 |
| natschil_ | wilee-nilee: well obviously neither, as it needs to be executed before either windows or linux does. Hence probably it's in the bios | 18:51 |
| natschil_ | wilee-nilee: if it exists | 18:51 |

| ubottu | kingjames: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

| kingjames | wilee-nilee i have looked but some site look sketchy :c | 19:01 |
| Pici | twardnw: its very likely that the 'vulnerability' that you are referring to has already been patched into 5.3.10 on Ubuntu. Do you have the CVE number for the issue? | 19:02 |
| natschil_ | wilee-nilee: I reiterate that the fact that windows seems to know when grub has been reinstalled suggests that *something* was done to the mbr, suggesting that grub installed fine. Now let's take this to its logical conclusion -> grub installed fine, but windows booted, therefore grub was not run. If grub installed fine into the mbr, but was not run, something must have changed the mbr before booting. make sense? | 19:02 |

| loganrun | Jordan_U, hmm, seems like it combined stuff from both the raid array and the hardrive on the other system | 19:47 |
| nazarko | Ineluctable: :/ I don't think it is answerable my one. The Gnome documentation is out of date | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U | loganrun: How did you try to "disable graphics boot"? | 19:48 |
| Ineluctable | nazarko: Are you talking about my question? | 19:48 |
| Vasa | hello i have configured my vps to work as a pptp server, i managed to connect to it fine and got an internal ip, but i do not have access to the net through it, how do i set up iptables so it allows full internet access?(command line only) | 19:48 |

| nazarko | Ineluctable: Ahh you want to pick pages | 19:48 |
| nazarko | packages* | 19:49 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, uncommented the line in /mnt/root/etc/default/grub that says GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 19:49 |
| Dantevios | I'm pretty sure iptables allows all by default Vasa | 19:49 |
| Dantevios | if you do iptables -L you can see all your rules (if you don't have any that means any port is open) | 19:49 |
| Ineluctable | narako: I would like to choose the packages I want during the install and not a predefined set of packages. | 19:49 |
| nazarko | Ineluctable: for the most minimal version you can either debootstrap // or try a netboot ISO which will give you a core install. then you can install via apt-get or tasksel | 19:49 |
| zoe | hi | 19:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !mini | 19:49 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:49 |
| nazarko | debootstrap --arch=amd64 precise --variant=minbase . for example | 19:49 |
| nazarko | can't find out about gnome | 19:50 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, I am seeing something about windows 7 which is not on the raid array | 19:50 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, in the grub.cfg file | 19:50 |
| Ineluctable | nazarko: Ok. cool. What do you need help with my friend | 19:50 |
| usr13 | I have to go now.... | 19:50 |
| Jordan_U | loganrun: Yes, because update-grub by default looks for other OSs. It's not something to worry about. | 19:50 |
| Ineluctable | By the way thank you nazarko, and ubottu | 19:51 |
| nazarko | I have PXE booted netboot version of precise, installed base install. Ran apt-get gdm gnome-shell xorg. I set Login Automatically in Preferences. When I reboot, Ubuntu hangs at Plymouth's Starting Ubuntu. On further inspection of /etc/gdm it seems that no X session's specified. I used an undocumented /usr/lib/gdm/set-default-session but no joy. Now I have removed gdm and tried tinywm still hangs. | 19:51 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, o.k. does that look correct for it to boot from the raid array now? | 19:51 |
| nazarko | Ineluctable: ubottu is a bot lol | 19:51 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, the error about the metadata when I run update-grub concerns me | 19:51 |
| TriBeCa99 | usr13 and danand okay, looks like ownerships are set | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: you could use rc.local to auto start a X session if you want total control | 19:52 |
| Ineluctable | nazarko: well then... that is quite funny. | 19:52 |
| Jordan_U | loganrun: OK. In the chroot, please run "cat /etc/default/grub; echo; grub-mkconfig -o /tmp/grub.cfg; echo $?; echo; cat /tmp/grub.cfg" and pastebin the entire output. | 19:52 |
| TriBeCa99 | NOW I'm going to try a normal boot | 19:52 |
| nazarko | Jordan_U: I tried startx. Black screen. How can I diagnose that | 19:52 |
| zoe | hi, I just want to make friends | 19:52 |
| nazarko | whoops meant that for r_Willis: | 19:52 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: * | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: look at the console where you ran startx for messages and the x logs | 19:53 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: will do. | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: make a .xsession or .Xinitrc for startx to use - may be needed | 19:53 |
| bobo37773 | zoe: Hey | 19:53 |
| nazarko | I made a .Xinitrc | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | and what is .Xinitrc running? | 19:53 |
| TriBeCa99 | gcuGA6cu64 | 19:53 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: rc.local works on Ubuntu? I thought Upstart ignores that | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: err... no it dosent.. | 19:53 |
| Ineluctable | Dr_Willis: You could just remove the xorg config file and reboot couldnt you? | 19:54 |
| bobo37773 | rc.local? For starting X? | 19:54 |
| nazarko | you said use rc.local to start a X session | 19:54 |

| nazarko | lightdm hangs with no network too | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | loganrun: It's odd that that looks completely different from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg you pastebinned earlier. | 19:57 |
| nazarko | cant help but feel gnome has gone downhill | 19:57 |
| Dr_Willis | most likely your .Xauthority got owned by root nazarko ..... common issue | 19:57 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: hmm | 19:58 |
| nazarko | my tty2 for some reason giving me no protocol specified | 19:58 |

| loganrun | Jordan_U, not sure, I just ran diff /mnt/root/boot/grub/grub.cfg /mnt/root/tmp/grub.cfg and they look the same | 20:00 |

| loganrun | Jordan_U, never saw a grub menu, just gibberish come up and then things seemed to stop at some type of prompt | 20:02 |
| loganrun | Jordan_U, after spitting out a screen or two of stuff it seems like | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | you can set grub to use a old standard text menu item... | 20:02 |
| Moonlightning | Is there any reason to use an earlier version of ext rather than a later one? This is on the disk that will be used for installing the system and storing data. | 20:03 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: i have chowned my xauthority gonna see what happens. startx couldnt lock it | 20:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: perhaps just remove it | 20:03 |
| Jordan_U | loganrun: OK. Try rebooting then. The grub.cfg looks fine. You might or might not want to remove the "splash" kernel parameter later, but try booting as it is. | 20:03 |

| Moonlightning | We got the link twice already. XD | 20:07 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: well i assume the default boot process starts X? | 20:07 |
| viillinny | Hey! I got curious and wanted to ask here because i don't have much time to do research tonight | 20:07 |
| nazarko | iceroot: how is X launched in ubuntu | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | magnum: the install file? you want to do a wubi install? or a normal install. | 20:07 |

| Dr_Willis | nazarko: desktop install starts up lightdm - which uses X yes... | 20:08 |
| viillinny | Is there a system i can use to distribute computing to all of my home ubuntu boxes? Like... make a makeshift cluster at home? | 20:08 |
| Dr_Willis | viillinny: dozens of ways to do that.. depending on the details | 20:08 |
| nazarko | Dr_Willis: yes but where in the boot process is it firing? Some upstart script in /etc/init? | 20:08 |
| magnum | i can not turn on my PC, so i would like to do normal instal from boot USB | 20:08 |
| Dr_Willis | nazarko: lightdm is a upstart service i belive | 20:08 |
| nazarko | cool | 20:09 |
| viillinny | Dr_Willis oh, and is this general system load that gets distributed? | 20:09 |

| viillinny | Dr_Willis: sorry to keep bothering, but any key words i could use to find something interesting about clustering? Like a special name that linux uses or so... | 20:11 |
| minashokry | Dr_Willis: because I am trying to run jenkins and it fails to start with a message in logs saying "no space left on device" I am sure I have enough free space everywhere, when I checked df, only /run is 100% used so I thought it can be related | 20:11 |

| Dr_Willis | minashokry: a read of --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/169495/what-are-run-lock-and-run-shm-used-for shows that /tmp MAY be using /run | 20:19 |
| Dr_Willis | minashokry: i would guess thats what its trying to use | 20:19 |
| pinchmesh | how to change dep sslv2 to sslv1? | 20:19 |
| Dr_Willis | minashokry: so move /tmp/ to a real partiion perhaps | 20:19 |
| minashokry | Dr_Willis: ok, thanks will try | 20:20 |
| Dr_Willis | /tmp → /run/tmp [optional; currently only Debian plans to offer this] | 20:20 |
| Dr_Willis | so ubnuntu may not do it.. | 20:20 |

| Moonlightning | How do I change the login window so that it doesn't show a list of users? | 20:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. My /run/ is showing 1% full. but im on 12.10 | 20:23 |
| trism | Moonlightning: add: greeter-hide-users=true to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 20:24 |
| Moonlightning | Okay, thanks. | 20:24 |
| trism | Moonlightning: zless /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz has all the options | 20:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | how do i get the UUID for md0? | 20:24 |
| === aoooox is now known as szadek | ||
| Moonlightning | Is there any way someone that's not logged in might be able to get a (partial or complete) list of accounts on the system? | 20:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | it's not showing up in blkid | 20:24 |
| TriBeCa99 | ohhhh, the array is syncing, never mind i'll give it a while | 20:25 |
| Dr_Willis | MonkeyDust: ls /home/ ;) | 20:25 |
| Dr_Willis | but they need some sort of access | 20:25 |
| Moonlightning | trism: do I add that in the /SeatDefaults/ section? That's the only one there is… | 20:25 |
| minashokry | Dr_Willis: ok, solved it by configuring the app to extract its files to another path (/tmp) instead of /var/run/ | 20:26 |
| minashokry | Dr_Willis: thanks | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea why an app would extract installer files to /run/ | 20:26 |
| sta7ic | its been 15 years since i registered a domain from internic, went to do this and they dont allow full control? any trusty worthy sites? i am going to host from my house and i want full control of my domain, i did buy it right? any suggestions are appreciated | 20:26 |
| MoTec | sta7ic: I've had good luck with GoDaddy. Dozens of domains hosted there. | 20:27 |
| pinchmesh | sta7ic, try godaddy | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | n00b | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | no | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | they dont allow full control | 20:27 |
| Moonlightning | Besides the login screen, is there any way someone that's not logged in might be able to get a (partial or complete) list of accounts on the system? | 20:27 |
| Dr_Willis | not exactly a ubuntu support question.... | 20:27 |
| MoTec | What do you mean full control? I can specify my name servers.. Oh, nevermind. | 20:27 |
| pinchmesh | you want a dedicated server?? ==expensive | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | nevermind | 20:28 |
| MoTec | Just STFU instead. | 20:28 |

| ubottu | MoTec: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 20:28 |
| sta7ic | Moonlightning: if someone cannot cat /etc/passwd how would the be able to see accounts? | 20:28 |
| Moonlightning | sta7ic: login window, for one | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Moonlightning: one of the points in favor of using sudo is that attackers cant be using the 'known' root account. they have to guess user names also | 20:28 |
| Wings | hey guys | 20:28 |
| Moonlightning | Dr_Willis: not if they can get a list from somewhere else… | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | If someone has physical access to the box.. you dont have much security | 20:29 |
| melodie_ | bye | 20:29 |
| Dr_Willis | 'social engineering' ;) | 20:29 |
| trism | Moonlightning: yes, SeatDefaults | 20:29 |
| Moonlightning | trism: `/usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz` is some kind of binary file for me… | 20:29 |
| trism | Moonlightning: that's why I said zless | 20:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Moonlightning: use zmore to view it | 20:29 |
| Dr_Willis | or zless or decompress it | 20:29 |
| Moonlightning | I did use `zless`… | 20:30 |
| Moonlightning | < zless /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz | 20:30 |
| Moonlightning | > sh: 0: Illegal option -/ | 20:30 |
| Moonlightning | > "/usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz" may be a binary file. See it anyway? | 20:30 |

| TriBeCa99 | question about my brand new raid10 array... I used mdadm --create blah blah to set it up, now a mdadm --query is showing "Resync status: 0% complete". I take it I need to wait for this to finish before I use the array? | 20:30 |
| Moonlightning | Anyway. | 20:31 |
| Moonlightning | Besides the login screen, is there any way someone that's not logged in might be able to get a (partial or complete) list of accounts on the system? | 20:31 |
| Moonlightning | And how do I set a firmware password on a PowerBook G4? The instructions on Apple's site are only for OS X and I've installed Ubuntu instead. | 20:33 |
| MoTec | Moonlightning: if you are running samba isn't possible to use prcclient to enumerate users. | 20:33 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: what is a firmware password? | 20:33 |
| MoTec | *it is possible | 20:33 |
| MoTec | Moonlightning: if you are running samba is is possible to use rcclient to enumerate users. | 20:34 |
| MoTec | that was all messed up, heh. | 20:34 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: a password that's required to boot to something other than the default (which is the hard disk in my case) | 20:34 |
| Moonlightning | I think that would be a way to prevent evil-maid attacks. | 20:35 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: you mean a bios-password? | 20:35 |
| Moonlightning | …probably, | 20:35 |
| MoTec | Moonlightning: and good grief.. I meant rpcclient | 20:35 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: should not be OS related, even in the evil propitary apple world | 20:35 |
| Moonlightning | MoTec: if samba isn't installed by default, I shouldn't have it. | 20:35 |
| Moonlightning | This is a fresh install… | 20:36 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: so it's not an Ubuntu question and I should ask elsewhere? | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | there are mac focused forums | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !forums | 20:36 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. Kubuntu Forums are found at http://www.kubuntuforums.net. There is also a channel on freenode IRC #ubuntuforums | 20:36 |
| Rusher | hi, how to disable / hide maximalize button for windows? I tried by ubuntu-tweak, gconf-editor and gnome-tweak-took, but no result.. | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | and askubuntu.com may know. | 20:37 |
| kill_box | Can anyone recommend reading for system hardening for Linux? | 20:37 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: No, not by design. Also, can you boot Tiger and set the password. | 20:38 |
| W4sp | Can Ubuntu have full disk encruption? | 20:38 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: can't boot something that's not installed. :V | 20:38 |
| _Tristan1 | Hallo. Aptitude shit the bed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1157824/ what do? | 20:38 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: yeah, I'm using it. | 20:38 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: ...from CD? | 20:38 |
| Moonlightning | As far as I know, though, you need to enable it on boot. | 20:38 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: don't have a Tiger disc… | 20:39 |
| Moonlightning | Or any OS X disc for that matter. | 20:39 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: See, I have been under the impression only home folder can be encrypted. | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | _Tristan1: NOT's use aptitude with 12.04 | 20:39 |
| Moonlightning | …well, I have a Snow Leopard disc, but it came with my /Intel/ Mac… | 20:39 |
| _Tristan1 | zykotick9: really? No more aptitude? | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | !aptitude | _Tristan1 | 20:39 |
| ubottu | _Tristan1: 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. | 20:39 |
| === GirlyGirl is now known as CassandraCassand | ||
| Dr_Willis | been that way for a while now. bad to use aptitude | 20:40 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Latest you can use is Tiger as it was the last of the mohicans to have PPC, AFAIK. | 20:40 |
| _Tristan1 | zykotick9: thanks :) | 20:40 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: machine had Leopard when I got it… | 20:40 |
| Dantevios | I miss aptitude being in ubuntu :( having to use two commands to manage everything is an annoyance | 20:40 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: I see. Leopard is the latest then, I suppose. | 20:41 |
| Moonlightning | Anyway, here's an actual Ubuntu question. | 20:41 |
| _Tristan1 | I've been using aptitude ever since 12.04 came out. I wonder if that's bad... | 20:41 |
| bekks | Dantevios: You can easily install it. | 20:41 |
| Moonlightning | Besides the login screen and samba, is there any way someone that's not logged in might be able to get a (partial or complete) list of accounts on the system? | 20:41 |
| * Dr_Willis gueses that since no one can think of any way.. the answer is no | 20:41 | |
| zykotick9 | bekks: don't suggest that | 20:41 |
| k1l | Dantevios: bekks but aptitude does still have problems with multiarch. | 20:41 |
| Moonlightning | Okay, thanks. ^^ | 20:42 |
| Dr_Willis | not sure why it matters much anyway | 20:42 |
| bekks | zykotick9: I am not suggesting it :) It's just installable, technically - thats what I meant to say. | 20:42 |
| tech1 | im trying to install chrome but i keep getting "libcurl3 dependancy error".. what is this thing i need? i cant find it | 20:42 |
| Moonlightning | Dr_Willis: it doesn't, really…just being a bit paranoid. X3 | 20:42 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: No, not my design. But as you have already guessed you can boot from CD and mount the hard drive to browse /mointpoint/etc/passwd | 20:42 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: that's another reason to have a firmware password… | 20:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !info libcurl3 | 20:43 |
| ubottu | libcurl3 (source: curl): Multi-protocol file transfer library (OpenSSL). In component main, is optional. Version 7.22.0-3ubuntu4 (precise), package size 235 kB, installed size 540 kB | 20:43 |
| _Tristan1 | ok, so now apt-get dist-upgrade installs everything:i386 and keeps back wine1.5, while apt-get autoremove removes everything:1386. This is a problem. | 20:43 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: bios password is totaly stupid | 20:43 |
| W4sp | Well, because it matters. | 20:43 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: buh? | 20:43 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: disc encryption is what you want if you want to protect your installation | 20:43 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: remove the battery and the bios password is gone | 20:43 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: I have disk encryption… | 20:44 |
| Moonlightning | But encryption doesn't protect against evil-maid attacks. | 20:44 |
| Wings | <Wings> so when I boot into Xen 4.1 on Ubuntu | 20:44 |
| Wings | <Wings> I get about 1GB of RAM on dom0 and 3.5GB for the hypervisor to spread around | 20:44 |
| Wings | <Wings> I've got 8GB in my system, everything's 64-bit... how do I get back the missing memory? | 20:44 |
| tech1 | nevermind i fixed it | 20:44 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: some bios don't have that battery clear anti-feature. (most do) | 20:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Moonlightning what kind of attack? | 20:44 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: then use the cmos clear jumper | 20:44 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: correct ;) | 20:45 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: evil-maid | 20:45 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: :) | 20:45 |
| Moonlightning | MonkeyDust: boot to a CD or something, install a malicious bootloader to get the encryption key… | 20:45 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: putting the key on the drive is stupid | 20:45 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: tell that to the people that made the system? | 20:45 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders if theres a #ubuntu-paranoid | 20:45 | |
| MonkeyDust | Moonlightning why has it never happened, if it were that that easy? | 20:46 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all.. off to the store... | 20:46 |
| Moonlightning | MonkeyDust: how do you know it hasn't? | 20:46 |
| pmelse | hrm, if you could include two keys.. one for the bootloader, the other for the key | 20:46 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: i see a bigger problem in using apple-products then be afraif of strange bootloader attacks (just my opinion) | 20:46 |

| Guest80323 | Hi all, I'm trying to copy my home folder in preparation for receiving a new mobo/upgrade. I want to copy it from the harddrive to a usb drive. However, the files on the harddrive all show as being owned by '1000' and '1001' and I can't copy them when booting from the live cd. The permissions also have all the access options grayed out. Any idea how to get around this??? | 20:46 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Can you not introduce to have the encryption key on a USB? | 20:46 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: this computer was just given to me. | 20:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Moonlightning in fazct this is offtopic, but i follow blogs on a daily basis and never read anything about it | 20:47 |
| Moonlightning | > Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. | 20:47 |
| rogerpozzi | ciao | 20:47 |
| _Tristan1 | all of my important files are encrypted with the biometric information stored in my blood. The blood won't work if there's lots of adrenaline or other things added, and it won't work if the blood is dead. | 20:47 |
| _Tristan1 | that could go in #ubuntu-paranoid | 20:47 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: wha? | 20:47 |
| pmelse | Guest, run $ gksudo nautilus & | 20:47 |
| iceroot | _Tristan1: nice one :) | 20:47 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Can you have the key on a USB drive. That would be a two factor authendification. | 20:47 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: that's one way, but I don't have a USB stick at the moment. | 20:48 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: There's a risk, of course, that someone copies it from USB though. | 20:48 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: type in the passphrase by hand | 20:48 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: problem solved | 20:48 |
| centrelink | pmelse: zsh: command not found: $ | 20:48 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: that's what I've been doing? | 20:48 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: so what is the problem? | 20:48 |
| W4sp | iceroot: The password and the key are eintirely different parts. | 20:49 |
| Moonlightning | centrelink: the $ is to indicate that you type it into a terminal, I think. | 20:49 |
| k1l | is the Moonlightnings issue smth for #ubuntu-discuss? | 20:49 |
| iceroot | W4sp: the key is protected with the passphrase | 20:49 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: the problem is that it's still vulnerable to evil-maid attacks? | 20:49 |
| pmelse | ah yes, sorry | 20:49 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: you are using apple products so why be afraid of people which can control your system? | 20:49 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: I didn't ask to be given a PowerBook. | 20:50 |
| Guest80323 | pmelse, I am running xubuntu, there is no gksudo and/or nautilus. | 20:50 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: sorry but i dont see a problem in the method you are using | 20:50 |
| W4sp | iceroot: He? You said 'type in the password by hand' and 'problem solved' | 20:50 |
| _Tristan1 | wine1.5 depends on wine1.5-i386, and wine1.5-amd64 requires wine1.5:any, so how do I get it on amd64? | 20:50 |
| Moonlightning | I'm just making the best of it. In case you haven't noticed, I wiped the disk and installed Ubuntu. :P | 20:50 |
| iceroot | W4sp: the passphrase to unlock the key | 20:51 |
| W4sp | iceroot: Are you implying that MAcBooks are vulnerable to remote access? | 20:51 |
| iceroot | W4sp: no | 20:52 |
| iceroot | W4sp: just that apple is evil | 20:52 |
| Moonlightning | Hay, if you don't mind…I'm trying to get help here, not be bashed for a choice of brands that I didn't make. :P | 20:52 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: and we are telling you that there is no need for such a panic about that | 20:53 |
| Oen | hi all.. when I upgrade from one release to another, will my network settings be affected in any way? | 20:53 |

| W4sp | iceroot: It's still excusable to be uninformed. | 20:53 |

| _Tristan1 | Oen: get a kvm if you can | 20:54 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: no, no, and no. | 20:54 |

| bekks | zykotick9: Whats not ready at that update? | 20:59 |
| SolarisBoy | time to find a new os | 20:59 |
| zykotick9 | bekks: you'd currently need to use "development" to make it work. LTS->LTS are on the first point release | 20:59 |
| bekks | zykotick9: Ah ok. | 21:00 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Hi. I installed Deluge but when I download a torrent file and open it it opens with Transmission. Yes, I can right-click it and open with Deluge that way, but how can I make it the default? | 21:00 |

| Oen | alright, thank you everyone for your help! | 21:00 |
| maze | Hi! | 21:00 |
| Moonlightning | I keep getting “System program problem detected” whenever I do something with networking in the GUI. This is on 12.04-LTS, but they're apparently not accepting bug reports. What do I do about this? | 21:01 |
| SolarisBoy | ratcheer: nothing much at the moment - but this is the all time record for weird things occuring on my systems i've upgraded , luckily they are all desktops of no importance to anyone.. | 21:01 |
| pmelse | Guest80323, is the file manager Thundar? | 21:01 |
| SolarisBoy | and further stroke of luck - very minor more annoying events than fatal errors,, but in the same,, i was reminded by the individual saying hes getting those weird crashes with no information in the dumps.. | 21:02 |
| ratcheer | SolarisBoy: Weird. Precise has been rock solid for me. | 21:02 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 21:02 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Why do they not accept bug reports? | 21:02 |
| pmelse | sounds like a SPARC :P | 21:02 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: hang on, I'll see if I can trigger one again… | 21:02 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 21:02 |
| bekks | Sparc? Who hilighted me? :) | 21:02 |
| Fluid_Mantis | Anything, anyone? | 21:02 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 21:02 |
| Fluid_Mantis | You'd think it would just have a simple "Open with this program by default" checkbox in the GUI. | 21:03 |
| SolarisBoy | ratcheer: did you clean install or upgrade? | 21:03 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: It should be accepted but it it's reported already you may not be able to submit it agian. | 21:03 |
| pmelse | FluidMantis, hit properties on the file, and there's probably some sort of default application option | 21:03 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | Can some one help me install ubuntu, i added 12.04 to a disk and im running it vm right now | 21:04 |

| pmelse | Ubuntuuser22: see if this answers your questions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN-egbYERdo | 21:09 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: I see, that's disappointing. You're right, that's the way they do. Admittingly I don't like it. | 21:10 |
| pmelse | fat32 or ntfs will be your vista partition | 21:10 |
| Moonlightning | W4sp: there's no way to just have bug reports be submitted automatically without me having to do anything? | 21:10 |
| peterrus | hmm dropbox just isnt connecting | 21:10 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | yeah when i click to install it it only has to options not 3..... | 21:11 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | thats why im confused | 21:11 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Not that I'm aware of. There's the exclamation mark and then all that can be done is to follow the GUI instructions. | 21:11 |
| pmelse | have you considered a wubi install (I think that's still a real thing :P ) | 21:11 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: Is there an alternative one, such as using web? | 21:12 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | pmelse that didn't work for me , all the partions i see all say nvidea | 21:12 |

| Ubuntuuser22 | i have 2 one is a restore harddrive and one is my windows | 21:14 |

| === JasonK75 is now known as teresa91180 | ||
| Ubuntuuser22 | idk which partion to delete or add too | 21:15 |
| pmelse | MonkeyDust: I figure it's easier (and safer) than trying to remotely diagnose an unrecognized vista partition | 21:15 |
| pmelse | under type, does anything say ntfs? | 21:15 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | there is 6 ntfs | 21:16 |
| W4sp | Moonlightning: You can do that in Launchpad though. | 21:17 |
| pmelse | hrm, that seems an awful lot of partitions for a default vista install | 21:17 |
| Moonlightning | whuh? | 21:17 |
| Ubuntuuser22 | yeah idk what to do.... like i said they all say nvidea on them | 21:17 |
| pmelse | I'd discard any changes, reboot into windows, and figure out what's on them | 21:18 |

| admin-tori | global would be preferred | 21:22 |
| pmelse | admin-tori I believe you can add it to /etc/rc.local (make sure the exit status is 0) | 21:25 |
| admin-tori | just add in the path? | 21:25 |
| pmelse | yes.. but on second thought, that will run at the end of each runlevel.. | 21:26 |

| pmelse | ubuntuuser22, have a look in my computer, and see if you can locate those partitions | 21:27 |
| admin-tori | hmm. okay I'll try both methods. Thank you for your help | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | admin-tori: To have something added to the motd, you'll probabl want to add the script to /etc/update-motd.d/ . But that depends on what exactly you want. What does this script do? | 21:27 |
| ubuntuuser22 | pmelse all i see in windows, i took that and made it to 100 gb and i made a new hd called Ubuntu | 21:28 |

| maze | Hi | 21:31 |
| pmelse | evening | 21:31 |
| Dantevios | Ok hardcore question time... I have an intel laptop that uses a BIOS. I have installed ubuntu 12.04 in it. I want to transfer this hard drive to my MacBook Pro. MacBook pro uses EFI (but is still an intel based chip). When I try to boot from my mac all I get is the purple splash screen (with no graphics). What is possibly happening? | 21:32 |
| pmelse | Dantevios, you probably need a uefi bootloader? | 21:32 |
| pmelse | though I've swapped a drive using syslinux into a g1 macbook and had it boot 8.04 | 21:33 |
| flyback | did something happen between 11.04 and 12.04 dramatically that totally fubared liveUSB to the point of almost being unbearable | 21:34 |
| flyback | if I put firefox in private browsing, it helps a good bit with firefox freezing but other stuff still ugh | 21:34 |
| flyback | multiple systems and multiple flash drives so it's not a hw issue | 21:35 |
| pmelse | flyback: I wonder if unity has anything to do with it | 21:35 |
| flyback | well I hacked in gnome | 21:35 |
| flyback | it helped but still ugh | 21:36 |

| pmelse | ubuntuuser22: 6:30 for me (approx an hour) | 21:37 |

| maze | Hi I'm wondering what a good vpn service for ubuntu is? | 21:37 |
| Dantevios | I've had the same results with 8.04 pmelse | 21:37 |
| Dantevios | I'm thinking i may need a boot loader as well but that may not be the case | 21:37 |
| sveinse | bekks: I have none. splash and quiet is not in /etc/default/grub. Yet the installed text theme shows a "text splash" | 21:38 |
| bekks | sveinse: Then remove "splash". | 21:38 |
| sveinse | bekks: From where? /etc/defalt/grub has no "splash" in it | 21:40 |
| bekks | sveinse: From the kernel command line in the grub menu, when booting. | 21:40 |
| pmelse | Dantevios: is this a newer mac? | 21:40 |
| Dantevios | no it's an older one pmelse like 2009ish? something like that | 21:42 |
| === vlanx is now known as Vlan2 | ||
| sveinse | bekks: Well that's why I'm asking. There is no splash in the kernel commandline at all. Yet something hides everything from grub until getty is started. I have plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text installed and it shows a Ubuntu 12.10 text and a few dots during the time | 21:42 |

| FroZen_ | hi guys i have a question | 21:44 |
| MonkeyDust | FroZen_ let's hear it | 21:44 |
| FroZen_ | i installed centos alsongside several partitions | 21:44 |
| FroZen_ | and centos overwrote the grub during installation | 21:45 |
| FroZen_ | but it didnt detect all of the partitions | 21:45 |
| FroZen_ | and due to a mistake i made (i.e setting 777 permisions on everything) the centos partition cannot boot (kernel panic) and i need to find a way to repair grub | 21:46 |
| MonkeyDust | FroZen_ you're in the ubuntu channel | 21:46 |
| FroZen_ | well how can i use a live cd of ubuntu to repair grub? | 21:46 |

| keith | hey who/where should I complain about a broken core system package in 11.04? | 23:06 |
| deadmund | avengre: yes, but you have to tell the bios to boot the other hdd | 23:06 |
| avengre | deadmund: that's no problem | 23:07 |
| deadmund | avengre: then there is no problem :) | 23:07 |

| coldpizza72i | Jordan_U: what stops grub from using the original config file instead of custom.cfg? | 23:07 |
| avengre | okay, so the installer will give me that option? | 23:07 |
| * flyback ponders making the plunge to his new bedroom tonight | 23:07 | |
| avengre | it won't just rewrite the boot record for the windows drive at random during install? | 23:07 |

| deadmund | ozpy: It seems to think that this is the only resolution available. What res are you looking for? What video card do you have? What does your monitor support? | 23:08 |
| coldpizza72i | wilee-nilee: you there? | 23:09 |
| wilee-nilee | coldpizza72i, yeah. | 23:09 |
| ozpy | deadmund, I want 16:9 1366:768. This are the specs http://pastebin.com/5mx1Xz2g | 23:10 |
| coldpizza72i | wilee-nilee: i just got into grub, what should i do again? enter recover mode? | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | coldpizza72i: It's *not* that the custom.cfg overrides the grub.cfg. The grub.cfg generated by update-grub/grub-mkconfig contains a line which sources /boot/grub/custom.cfg if it exists: if [ -f $prefix/custom.cfg ]; then source $prefix/custom.cfg; fi | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | coldpizza72i, That was my idea as far as a easier then the cd method at messing with the graphics WHICH I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. | 23:11 |
| deadmund | ozpy: probably a limitation of the graphics driver in Ubuntu. Since the pastebin you just showed me explicity says you can have 1366 x 768 | 23:11 |
| deadmund | ozpy: hang on | 23:11 |
| coldpizza72i | wilee-nilee: and what do i do in recovry mode | 23:11 |
| deadmund | ozpy: can you xrandr -s 1366x768 | 23:12 |
| deadmund | ? | 23:12 |
| ozpy | deadmund, one sec | 23:12 |
| ozpy | deadmund, www.pastebin.com/JdyVUsBr | 23:13 |
| deadmund | ozpy: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60579/intel-gma-4500m-screen-resolution-problem | 23:13 |
| wilee-nilee | coldpizza72i, You wanted to reload the graphics. You asked if from the cd was possible or best. My only remark was from a recovert terminal would be easier then having to chroot from a cd, That is where it ends as far as I know. Do you understand this, you can't just throw commands at the install from a cd without getting into the install a method used is called a chroot. I can't really help you. | 23:14 |
| deadmund | ozpy: read it all! I've never tried to fix this problem before so the thread knows more about the problem that I do | 23:14 |
| coldpizza72i | wilee-nilee: I'm no longer using a cd | 23:14 |
| ozpy | deadmund, let me see. one sec | 23:15 |
| deadmund | ozpy: sure, I can help if you get stuck / confused reading the thread | 23:15 |
| W4sp | ozpy: deadmund: PMFJI. See if 1360x768 will do. Also, while booting within GRUB2 list the video modes GRUB2 supports. MAke a note of what's listed and close to your desired resolution. Set the modes on GRUB2 prompt and continue booting. | 23:15 |
| deadmund | ozpy: One of the worst things about ubuntu support is that there is so much noise in the threads! :( | 23:17 |
| ozpy | deadmund: yeah | 23:18 |
| stal | the "try ubuntu cloud" thing is a nice touch | 23:18 |

| Dr_Willis | coldpizza72i: save it to a file... | 23:24 |
| deadmund | much easier to save it to a file | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | then look at it once you are in the console, and perhaops run it.. | 23:24 |
| coldpizza72i | Dr_Willis: this is what i ran, but it says its unable to locate the last two packages | 23:27 |
| ozpy | deadmund: w4sp: now backlight works, but there's a problem. The system asks for username and password on no backlight. once I log in, brighness is on reverse mode... I mean I have to hit FN+Left key to increase brightness | 23:27 |
| pmelse2 | okay, ubuntuuser22, I'm here again | 23:27 |

| === chris_ is now known as uuser-guid | ||
| Kuifje | I have a setup that consist of ubuntu 9.04, but from what I've read the repositories have been shut down. is it safe to edit the sources.list so that the respositories of a newer version is used so I can update the system? | 23:47 |
| uuser-guid | Hi. My wired Internet connection is working fine, but network manager says "Wired network" "device not managed". How can I fix this? | 23:48 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | Kuifje please read this | 23:48 |

| Kuifje | ok, thanks | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Kuifje: You can still upgrade it.. but for that old of an install.. i would suggest a clean install | 23:49 |
| xangua | !nounity | mzuverink | 23:49 |
| ubottu | mzuverink: 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 | 23:49 |
| coldpizza72i | When I boot my system gets stuck after "Checking battery state"… I have to goto Ctrl-Alt F5 and startx myself… any ideas on how to fix this? | 23:50 |
| matts45acp | can someone here please tell me when i use ubuntu from a cd just trying and i download a program where does it install too? and will it still be here when i start up again? | 23:50 |
| xangua | matts45acp: it will no | 23:51 |
| scott_z | Why when I do 'sudo apt-get upgrade' some packages are being 'kept back'? | 23:51 |
| mrdigital | matts45acp: no it wont be available again, it just install temporarily under your RAM memory | 23:51 |
| === chris_ is now known as uuser-guid | ||
| Dr_Willis | scott_z: they are held for some reason or another.. use apt-get dist-upgrade' if you really want to update them | 23:51 |
| uuser-guid | deadmund, thanks, it worked :) | 23:51 |
| mrdigital | matts45acp: so as soon as you restart your pc that RAM session is wiped out | 23:51 |
| deadmund | uuser-guid: sure :) | 23:52 |
| deadmund | that was fast | 23:52 |
| mrdigital | Jordan_U: any luck with that? | 23:52 |

| deadmund | W4sp: I don't know how he resolved it but he posted a link to some bug report. You can scroll back to find it. | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_z: nope.. if some packages are broken. they can get held to prevent firther breaking.. see the url i posted. | 23:55 |

| scott_z | thanks. I keep working on it. | 23:56 |
| ozpy | w4sp: Yes. That was te command I used for rebooting... however the brightness function is on reverse... I have to FN+left to get backlight | 23:56 |
| mrdigital | Jordan_U: thats all i added | 23:56 |
| W4sp | deadmund: I did. I've gone through the post and there a some recommendations. Not sure though if the command I pasted is the right one. I want to make a mental note as ozpy wasn't the only one with the issue. | 23:56 |
| ozpy | w4sp: I don't know how to restablish the backlight as usual (FN+Right key | 23:56 |
| deadmund | W4sp: IDK and he's gone :( | 23:57 |
| deadmund | W4sp: there he is! :P | 23:57 |
| W4sp | ozpy: Oh, you're back. :-) | 23:57 |
| ozpy | w4sp: deadmund: but FN+left key helped me solve the first step which was to get backlight | 23:57 |
| mrdigital | Jordan_U: what do you make of it? | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | mrdigital: Please pastebin your entire bashrc. | 23:58 |
| ozpy | w4sp: there are thousands with the same issue. Graphics card must be the issue | 23:58 |
| W4sp | ozpy: The command seems to be an operational fix. That can't be a permanent one as it is entirely unsatisfactory. | 23:59 |
