| jagginess | semitones, if you type "pwd<enter>" that gives you a hint | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Dr_Willis | pwd print working directory | 00:00 |
| jagginess | semitones, try the builtin "basename" command | 00:00 |
| semitones | jagginess: ok, thanks | 00:00 |
| semitones | soliloquy1: maybe ls can be configured to do that -- I'll have to check | 00:00 |
| jagginess | semitones, "help test<enter>" you'd probably want to use a test if there's a file in existence | 00:01 |
| ubuntu_ | does NFS have the ability to do other things then just file sharing.... like can it do the equivalent of the smb/cifs protocal which does much more then just file sharing. i.e printers , AD , ...etc | 00:01 |
| === coldpizza72i_ is now known as coldpizza72i | ||
| semitones | jagginess: pwd worked. What am I using help test to accomplish? | 00:02 |
| marcus_ | any one know why fglrx dotn working if its compiled right instaled right etc eetc etc | 00:02 |
| marcus_ | no errors in build logs | 00:02 |
| jagginess | semitones, that's just a hint table for bash scripting | 00:02 |
| casey | kubuntu and xubuntu are just ubuntu with some packages installed, it's pretty misleading really. | 00:03 |
| marcus_ | so? | 00:03 |
| marcus_ | is damn 2 am here and i rly want to go to bed | 00:03 |
| Farfy | ljack: downloading now, about 6 minutes | 00:03 |
| ljack | Farfy: OK. | 00:03 |
| no-n | is there a terminal program that tells you whether you need to restart to complete an upgrade? | 00:03 |
| marcus_ | so is anyone even close to tell me how to install this stupid ati drivers on 3.5 kerbel or not | 00:03 |
| jagginess | no-n, only really need to reboot if you installed a new kernel | 00:04 |
| no-n | okay | 00:04 |
| ljack | Farfy: I'm not 100% sure if this will work, but there will be no harm in trying and at least it'll update your drivers. | 00:04 |
| jagginess | no-n, if the menu doesnt refresh (sometimes it happens), simply relogin | 00:04 |
| no-n | "the menu"? | 00:04 |
| jagginess | no-n, y | 00:04 |
| soliloquy1 | marcus_: ljack can probably help you, but he's dealing with another driver issue this instant - if you wait, he may be able to help you too | 00:04 |
| jagginess | no-n, sometimes the menu (or the dock whatever unity uses), doesnt always refresh.. a relogin doesnt hurt.. | 00:05 |
| no-n | oh, right | 00:05 |
| no-n | I'm using i3 | 00:05 |
| marcus_ | oki doki | 00:05 |
| Farfy | ljack: willing to try anything at this point, really wanna get this going, ty for the help | 00:05 |
| ljack | marcus__: Oh I'll help you install a driver. | 00:05 |
| marcus_ | but soliloquy1 i rly read everything in google and dont find anyone who got this crap working on lubudubu with 3.5 kernel | 00:05 |
| soliloquy1 | marcus_: unfortunately drivers are one of those things I'm dreadful at fixing. | 00:05 |
| ljack | If that's what you need. | 00:05 |
| ljack | marcus_: What is the problem? | 00:05 |
| soliloquy1 | what are you trying to do precisely - I don't understand?? | 00:06 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: How'd it go? | 00:06 |
| xperiamaniac | am back and it did not help :) | 00:06 |
| soliloquy1 | xperiamaniac: what happened? | 00:06 |
| marcus_ | ljack: problem is after i download from ati site patch it make deb install deb's reboot | 00:06 |
| marcus_ | fglrx dotn works | 00:06 |
| xperiamaniac | no luck | 00:06 |
| marcus_ | and build log dont show any errors | 00:06 |
| ljack | :( | 00:06 |
| xperiamaniac | took me almost 20 mins to load to the desktop | 00:06 |
| soliloquy1 | yeah, I thought so. unity 2d is a resource hog. try LXDE. bummer though! | 00:06 |
| ljack | marcus_: Can't you just download the run file for your driver? | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | [ 765.008] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/extra-modules.dpkg-tmp/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | LXDE is the lightest desktop environment out there, xperia. | 00:07 |
| ljack | And run it to install and bam, it's done. | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | ljack: i did | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | without patch for 3.5 its not even compiling | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | and what happened then, marcus? | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | when you patched it, I mean | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | what's the error - pastebin them, please | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | i compiled it | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | you could be missing a dependency? | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | installed seems without errors | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | and then doesn't run?? | 00:07 |
| marcus_ | but after reboot fglrx dont works | 00:07 |
| soliloquy1 | uhuh. | 00:08 |
| marcus_ | only error is in xorg logs | 00:08 |
| xperiamaniac | ho do i get LXDE? | 00:08 |
| marcus_ | the one i pasted | 00:08 |
| soliloquy1 | why are you trying to run fglrx? | 00:08 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: Open up the Ubuntu Software Center, search for "LXDE" and click on install. | 00:08 |
| TeamRocket1233c | LXDE or Xfce. | 00:08 |
| soliloquy1 | xperiamaniac: ubuntu software center | 00:08 |
| marcus_ | soliloquy1: laptop duble ati cards? | 00:08 |
| xperiamaniac | okies | 00:08 |
| xperiamaniac | lemmi chk | 00:08 |
| marcus_ | my laptop is freeking to hot withotu this drivers | 00:08 |
| marcus_ | on normal its going insane hot | 00:09 |
| marcus_ | i compensate it by messing with cpu freqs but its not a solution | 00:09 |
| ljack | marcus_: Go to a better channel like ##linux, more advanced users are there for better support. | 00:09 |
| ljack | Or #debian. | 00:09 |
| TeamRocket1233c | xperiamaniac: sudo apt-get install lxde-desktop | 00:09 |
| marcus_ | hmm | 00:09 |
| TeamRocket1233c | xperiamaniac: Or sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 00:10 |
| marcus_ | kinda i can ask on sabayon but its ubuntu distro problem not any other xD | 00:10 |
| TeamRocket1233c | xperiamaniac: Either command installs LXDE. | 00:10 |
| xperiamaniac | the thing is i am unable to execute any applications in ubuntu as well | 00:10 |
| soliloquy1 | ljack: yeah #debian (pretend you're running debian) or ##linux will have a better bet | 00:10 |
| soliloquy1 | how are you talking to us xperiamaniac? | 00:10 |
| xperiamaniac | thru windows | 00:10 |
| xperiamaniac | xp | 00:10 |
| xperiamaniac | got pidgin installed | 00:11 |
| xperiamaniac | :P | 00:11 |
| soliloquy1 | if it's really not working, you can boot into command line mode and do sudo apt-get install lubuntu desktop that way | 00:11 |
| xperiamaniac | :) | 00:11 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: In that case, you'll have to install Lubuntu using Wubi. | 00:11 |
| xperiamaniac | hmmm | 00:11 |
| xperiamaniac | workin on it | 00:11 |
| soliloquy1 | let me just tell you how to do that | 00:11 |
| xperiamaniac | :) | 00:11 |
| TeamRocket1233c | xperiamaniac: Either burn off a Lubuntu LiveCD or a Xubuntu LiveCD and try it out and see how it goes. | 00:11 |
| soliloquy1 | ljack: you can add the lxde to ubuntu using wubi? | 00:11 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: When it says Desktop Enviroment, set it to Lubuntu | 00:11 |
| TeamRocket1233c | xperiamaniac: You'll need at least FreeISOBurner in order to burn off the disc though. | 00:12 |
| devvie | Speaking of Wubi installs... Would anyone here know how to recover or "undelete" files from a Wubi install of Ubuntu in a hard-drive that says it's empty? | 00:12 |
| ljack | soliloquy1: No, but you can install Lubuntu using Wubi. | 00:12 |
| soliloquy1 | ljack: so essentially do a clean install? | 00:12 |
| ljack | Yep | 00:12 |
| === swebb is now known as swebb2 | ||
| === arthur is now known as Guest81082 | ||
| TeamRocket1233c | Although my fave lightweight distro is probably #!. | 00:12 |
| === colinf is now known as hammerhead | ||
| Guest81082 | can anybody tell me how to view the files I have "synched" on ubuntu One? | 00:13 |
| soliloquy1 | xperiamaniac: I think ljack is right and lubuntu via wubi is your best bet - your current ubuntu is apparently very trashed, so I would just startover | 00:13 |
| soliloquy1 | teamrocket1233c: it's What??? #!? | 00:13 |
| ljack | Farfy: Download complete? | 00:13 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: #! = Crunchbang. | 00:13 |
| xperiamaniac | hmmmm | 00:13 |
| xperiamaniac | started the lubuntu download thru wubi... | 00:14 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: Installed it as a replacement for Win98 on my sad, sorry-ass 13-yr-old PC, and it works great on the little resources it has. | 00:14 |
| xperiamaniac | :) | 00:14 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: Okay | 00:14 |
| xperiamaniac | lets see how dat goes... | 00:14 |
| Farfy | ljack: done downloading, shall i install? | 00:14 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: Put Crunchbang on a basic Vista-era PC, and it would fly. | 00:14 |
| xperiamaniac | Thanks a lot guys... :) | 00:14 |
| soliloquy1 | teamrocket1233c: yeah, it looks great. | 00:14 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: Then, you can just launch Lubuntu; it's pretty light so you shouldn't have any problems. | 00:14 |
| soliloquy1 | xperiamaniac: no problem | 00:14 |
| xperiamaniac | :) | 00:14 |
| soliloquy1 | yeah, it should be smooth sailing from here | 00:14 |
| f00bar80 | v1c3, how to check/disable/ makes resolv.conf the used dns source | 00:15 |
| soliloquy1 | and lxde is pretty nice and easy to use | 00:15 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: Only uses 50 megs of RAM when idling too, on 128 megs, that's half your RAM, but on 2 gigs or more, that's barely any RAM being used at all. | 00:15 |
| xperiamaniac | was also downloadin the server edition for ma desktop | 00:15 |
| xperiamaniac | :) | 00:15 |
| soliloquy1 | that could be a big part of your issue, xperia - if you were running server flavor ubuntu! | 00:15 |
| ljack | Farfy: Okay, open terminal and type in "sudo" and enter you password. Then type "cd Downloads" then "./<name of file" | 00:15 |
| xperiamaniac | nah | 00:15 |
| Guest81082 | I signed up with UbuntuOne and synched everything, but now I can't access the stuff that should be in my UbuntuOne folder in the cloud. | 00:15 |
| ljack | xperiamaniac: lol | 00:16 |
| Farfy | ljack: sure thing, just a moment | 00:16 |
| xperiamaniac | i am downloadin dat on the desktop | 00:16 |
| xperiamaniac | dis one is da laptop wid 512 mb | 00:16 |
| xperiamaniac | O:-) | 00:16 |
| xperiamaniac | lol | 00:16 |
| marcus_ | fuck it im going bakc to sabayon on #buuntu are only noobs who got no clue .. on #debian i got -v cuz its not ubuntu and i got ubuntu | 00:16 |
| marcus_ | this is stupid | 00:16 |
| ljack | marcus_: Fine... | 00:16 |
| ljack | But Ubuntu is made for newer users to Linux. | 00:17 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: Especially when compared to the likes of Vista which uses I think half a gig of RAM when idling, but when you have a lot of software running on it, it uses up to a gig, which is half your RAM when running on 2 gigs. | 00:17 |
| ljack | I said, you can use a more advanced channel... | 00:17 |
| v1c3 | f00bar80, i dont know how to or if its possible.. think about using wicd an removing networkmanager. | 00:17 |
| soliloquy1 | marcus_: ##linux is your best bet | 00:17 |
| devvie | Can anyone here help with recovering/"undeleting" files, or is there a channel that would have more experience with that? :x | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | !undelete | devvie | 00:18 |
| tbruce | \quit ba-bye | 00:18 |
| ubottu | devvie: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 00:18 |
| tbruce | \quit | 00:19 |
| rimbaud | anyone here uses amnesic incognito live system? | 00:19 |
| devvie | Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll read that now! | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | devvie: You're welcome. | 00:19 |
| Farfy | ljack: permission denied | 00:19 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: Basically, Vista or Win7 requires at least 2 gigs to run decently, and you'd be better off using that much RAM with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, or the GNOME Shell or KDE spins of Fedora, Crunchbang or Lubuntu I think requires only 128 megs to run efficiently, and I think 256 megs with Xubuntu. | 00:19 |
| ljack | Fafry | 00:19 |
| ljack | Farfy: try "sudo ./[name of driver].run" | 00:20 |
| xperiamaniac | did you have the files on your computer at any point of time? | 00:20 |
| Farfy | ljack: k | 00:20 |
| TeamRocket1233c | soliloquy1: I know Crunchbang will run efficiently on 128 megs 'cause that's how much the box I have it installed on has. | 00:20 |
| Guest81082 | thanks alot. | 00:21 |
| ljack | CrunchBang for me uses only about 80MB without any programs running. | 00:21 |
| xperiamaniac | devvie:did u have the files on your computer at any point of time? | 00:21 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: When I looked at the Conky with nothing running, it was using 50 megs. | 00:21 |
| Farfy | ljack: command not found | 00:21 |
| ljack | Yes I sometimes can get as low as that too. | 00:21 |
| devvie | xperiamaniac: Yeah, everything is still there - The hard-drive just lost all of its partitions. | 00:22 |
| ljack | Farfy, okay, in that case just double click the file. xD | 00:22 |
| ljack | It should work. | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | Farfy: ljack: Installing the driver that way should never be the first thing to do. First try installing the drivers via the "Additioinal Drivers" tool (jockey-gtk). | 00:22 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Now if you were to build up a minimalist Ubuntu setup from a base command-line install... | 00:22 |
| ljack | Jordan_U: no harm in installing the proper driver... | 00:23 |
| anxel | hola | 00:23 |
| anxel | alguien me puede ayudar con una cosa | 00:23 |
| anxel | ? | 00:23 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Which is basically what I would do if I didn't wanna use either Xubuntu or Lubuntu while still having a low-resource OS... | 00:23 |
| ljack | anxel: Please speak English here. | 00:23 |
| anxel | ok | 00:24 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: So would I. | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | ljack: Yes, there is. Among other things it will break when Farfy tries to update his system. The "proper" driver is the one packaged and tested for Ubuntu. | 00:24 |
| ljack | Jordan_U: Both still can be done. | 00:24 |
| ljack | Farfy: Any luck? | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | !es | anxel | 00:25 |
| ubottu | anxel: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:25 |
| Farfy | ljack: white box opens, named *filename (~/Downloads) -gedit, sits there does nothing, cant close it | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | ljack: Both what can still be done? | 00:25 |
| ljack | Farfy: uh, just do what Jordan_U says then | 00:25 |
| anxel | I have Lubuntu and let me know how I can navigate with permissions to copy files to the folder / home | 00:26 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Seriously though a Ubuntu setup with X+Fluxbox, no login manager, a terminal window for software installation, Thunar for the file manager, and Dillo for the browser, would barely use up anything, and would probably use less than a stock Crunchbang install. | 00:26 |
| ljack | I'd say about 30MB for that TeamRocket1233c. | 00:26 |
| Farfy | ljack: ive tried using the Additional drivers before, switched it to the 'recommended' driver, no change | 00:26 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Plus it would just look cool. | 00:26 |
| ljack | Yep | 00:26 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Fluxbox actually looks really cool. | 00:26 |
| ljack | Farfy: :( | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | Farfy: I presume that you rebooted after enabling the driver? | 00:27 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: I've never actually tried it. Is it like Openbox? | 00:27 |
| _Tristan | I've been using aptitude since forever, and apparently it's fucked up my packages (using 12.04). Is there a way to unfuck it? | 00:27 |
| Farfy | Jordan_U: yes | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | Farfy: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 00:27 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Basically, it's pretty much a refined Openbox. | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | !language | _Tristan | 00:27 |
| ubottu | _Tristan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:27 |
| Farfy | Jordan_U: Im not able to use the ubuntu machine for much, talking to you on my windows machine and moving back and forth, is there a way to export that to a file i can send to windows machine to paste? | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | _Tristan: Aptitude doesn't work properly with multi-arch. What problem are you seeing specifically? | 00:28 |
| _Tristan | my bad. I meant.. uh... fudge :) | 00:28 |
| CAkEBAll | anyone on? | 00:28 |
| Trekking82 | Hello, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 from the LiveCD. Is there a GUI program that will enable me to use GPG? (GUI for encrypting/decrypting messages, etc) :) | 00:28 |
| _Tristan | Jordan_U: wine1.5 cannot be upgraded because of some wine1.5-1386:1386 boulderdashery | 00:28 |
| ljack | CAkEBAll: Yes. | 00:28 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: And you just can't beat the look of a Fluxbox desktop with an open terminal window slaving away installing software or whatever. | 00:28 |
| CAkEBAll | does anyone know | 00:29 |
| CAkEBAll | how to stop | 00:29 |
| CAkEBAll | ubuntu from dimming | 00:29 |
| CAkEBAll | every 10 seconds | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | _Tristan: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get upgrade"? | 00:29 |
| _Tristan | Jordan_U: sure, in just a minute | 00:29 |
| WeThePeople | cakeball, that might be your screen saver | 00:29 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: I will install it. :P | 00:29 |
| CAkEBAll | how do i disable it | 00:29 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Terminal window installation is not only quicker and uses less resources than Synaptic, but it gives you a lot of geek points and just looks sick. | 00:29 |
| WeThePeople | cakeball, what distro u using | 00:30 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: Using the Terminal feels powerful. :D | 00:30 |
| CAkEBAll | ubuntu | 00:30 |
| CAkEBAll | 12.04 | 00:30 |
| CAkEBAll | LTS | 00:30 |
| CAkEBAll | 32 bit | 00:30 |
| FloodBot1 | CAkEBAll: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:30 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Well, burn off a Ubuntu minimal install disc, do a base command-line install, and then set it up for a minimalist Fluxbox desktop. | 00:30 |
| Trekking82 | Will Seahorse enable me to encrypt/decrypt plaintext messages? | 00:30 |
| Hamatto | test | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | Farfy: It is already a file (at the path /var/log/Xorg.0.log) which you can copy to your Windows machine. Is the Ubuntu machine connected to the network? Installing ssh might make things a lot easier. | 00:31 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: I will have to do it tomorrow. | 00:31 |
| WeThePeople | cakeball, idk in 12.04 but in 10.04 to acces the screensaver gui its in system, preferences | 00:31 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: The only command that would really be needed in that situation would be sudo apt-get install. Pretty much about as easy as doing a default Ubuntu install, you just gotta do a little more work to get a desktop set up. | 00:32 |
| Trekking82 | Can someone please help me with GPG encryption on Ubuntu 12.04? | 00:32 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: I suppose the minimal .iso comes with the login manager and needed stuff? | 00:33 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Screwed around with that last year on Ubuntu Server 11.10, it pretty much works the same way a base command-line install of the desktop version would when it comes to setting up a GUI. | 00:33 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: And if you want a graphical login manager, you have to install it yourself when going with a base command-line install, otherwise, login via the command-line and pull up the GUI from there with startx. | 00:35 |
| Trekking82 | Am I in the right place to ask for help with setting up GPG? | 00:35 |
| ljack | Ah I'd rather login using the command line. | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !minimal | 00:36 |
| 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 | 00:36 |
| Budd | Trekking82: this is a reasonable place to ask. | 00:36 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: I personally wouldn't use a login manager in that case anyways 'cause it's unneeded. | 00:36 |
| ljack | Yep. | 00:36 |
| critt | Could I get some help with the System updates? Just updated now my cairo=dock won't load on startup. Have searched for workarounds. Nothinging working. | 00:36 |
| _Tristan | Jordan_U: this isn't exactly what you asked for... but I think it counts as helpful: http://pastebin.com/vgC7XX4k | 00:36 |
| Farfy1 | jordan_u: says pastebin unrecognized command | 00:36 |
| ljack | Just would take up disk space and take longer to start. | 00:36 |
| Farfy1 | ohh nm | 00:36 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Now I don't mind a graphical login manager though. | 00:37 |
| ljack | Trekking82: Ask in ##linux please, you will get better support for that kind of thing. :) | 00:37 |
| Trekking82 | Thanks :) | 00:37 |
| lauratika | how can i check if there is an issue with plugins on my browser... cant play videos from some pages. | 00:37 |
| Degorth | hello everyone, I'm trying to resurrect an old Eee PC 701 4g with linux, is there a version of ubuntu suited for 800x480 screens? | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | _Tristan: OK. It looks like apt-get doesn't have any problem. So just use apt-get instead of aptitude from now on. | 00:38 |

| _Tristan | Jordan_U: what about all if the :i386 stuff? | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Degorth: all are, you could use Lubuntu as the panel is quite thin | 00:38 |
| Degorth | ActionParsnip, what if some windows are cut off at the bottom, preventing access to OK or Cancel buttons? | 00:39 |
| Farfy1 | jordan_u: http://pastebin.com/H0CQshFZ | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Degorth: also, it is light so will use fewer resources :) | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | _Tristan: That's expected. wine is a 32 bit only application, and depends on 32 bit libraries. The :i386 means that it's refferring to the 32 bit version of the package rather than the 64 bit one. | 00:39 |
| Farfy1 | jordan_u: that is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file | 00:39 |
| _Tristan | oh, I see | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Degorth: hold ALT and you can drag from any part of the application window | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: what is weird is that I have packages install on my 32bit OS which state :i386 very funny | 00:40 |
| Degorth | ActionParsnip, thank you! | 00:40 |
| kantlivelong | any bumblebee users here? | 00:41 |
| lauratika | anyone? | 00:41 |
| ljack | lauratika: What, you cannot watch videos? | 00:42 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: OK, the Ubuntu setup I'm suggesting would be unstoppable on a Core 2 Extreme and 4 gigs of RAM. XD | 00:42 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: You could open up every program installed on that setup, it wouldn't slow down a bit. | 00:42 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: And hell, Win7 works perfectly on that setup and it's a way bigger resource hog. | 00:43 |
| lauratika | on certain webpages | 00:43 |
| lauratika | in 2 browser | 00:43 |
| lauratika | opera and chromium | 00:43 |
| ljack | lauratika: Install flash. | 00:43 |
| lauratika | i have it already... wanna know if there are any plugins installed | 00:44 |
| lauratika | not | 00:44 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: You have that system?? | 00:44 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: My class at school upgraded from a AMD-based Optiplexes that ran XP to Intel-based Precisions running Win7. | 00:44 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: I wish I had a system like that though. | 00:44 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: Same. I only have a dual core 1GHz CPU. | 00:45 |
| ljack | But 4GB RAM and a decent graphics card... | 00:45 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Might get lucky some day and find a Core 2 Extreme-based PC with 4 gigs of RAM at a local pawn shop for a decent price that has nothing installed on it, 'ya never know. | 00:45 |
| ljack | :) | 00:46 |
| Budd | Is there a non-Google-branded version of Chromium for ubuntu? | 00:46 |
| kaushal | Hi | 00:46 |
| critt | Why Can't Ubuntu Leave you personal settings alone when we do upates? | 00:46 |
| kaushal | is there way to get summary of df -h command output? | 00:47 |
| zykotick9 | Budd: "chromium" shouldn't be google "branded", it might be the defaults for most stuff (but that should be changable) | 00:47 |
| kaushal | similar to the one like free -mot | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ljack: 4Gb and a dual core cpu is more than I have | 00:47 |
| zykotick9 | critt: actually it does. ~ (or /home/foo) aren't touched by updates | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: it does | 00:47 |
| ljack | ActionParsnip: What do you have? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: the settings in $HOME are untouched | 00:47 |
| kaushal | ActionParsnip: hi | 00:47 |
| lauratika | Budd iron browser | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ljack: single core sempron @ 1.6Ghz with 2Gb DDR2 and onboard Nvidia 6150LE | 00:48 |
| critt | I updated and Now my Cairo-dock wont load at startup. | 00:48 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: My tech school classrooms has that hardware for its PC arsenal for the most part. | 00:48 |
| kaushal | is there way to get summary of df -h command output similar to the one like free -mot | 00:48 |
| Budd | zykotick9: I get many prompts to log in to Google, which I have no intention of doing, and the extensions page points me to the google "store". | 00:48 |
| ljack | ActionParsnip: Self build? | 00:48 |
| zykotick9 | critt: but version changes/updates can break old config files (problem i have with people saving all of /home when they update) | 00:48 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: The dual-core CPU and 4 gigs of RAM, I mean. | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ljack: its an ASUS P1-AH2 pundit, I just slung in CPU, RAM and HDD | 00:48 |
| zykotick9 | Budd: if you won't like google, don't support them by using chromium... or worse chrome. | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: maybe the old config is not compatible with the old settings | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: try launching it from terminal, it may give clues | 00:49 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: Practically the whole classroom was upgraded to dual-core Precisions with 4-gigs of RAM that run Win7. And we use Chrome instead of IE for the standard browser now. | 00:49 |
| critt | zykotick9 It still shows my cairo-dock in the startup configs | 00:49 |
| devvie | Jordan_U: Thanks! ddrescue seems to at least be able to copy the hard-drive! It should be a bit easier from now on. ^^ | 00:49 |
| girffe | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and just rebooted, and the window manager doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing me to a login screen, it brings me to tty1. When I press alt+Ctrl+F7, it says starting LightDM display manager, but doesn't have any sort of GUI. typing 'sudo restart lightdm' in tty6 says restart can't find the process, and sudo start lightdm just has the same problem (tty7 says starting LightDM, but no GUI). Anyo | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: yeah I need a new system soon, looking at a fit pc or similar :) | 00:50 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: Got dual monitors in addition. VERY useful for listening to Labsim videos while trying to find info on Linux certs or whatever. | 00:50 |
| critt | I can launch from term.. but closes after I close term | 00:50 |
| zykotick9 | critt: sorry i don't have any relevant info for your issue. but updates don't touch home folder stuff... | 00:50 |
| ljack | TeamRocket1233c: Most our computers use Win XP with like 512MB RAM and we use IE. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: haha 1 screen for 4 systems here :) | 00:50 |
| zykotick9 | critt: alt+f2 then start cairo | 00:50 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: We WERE using AMD-based Optiplexes that ran XP and I THINK had the same amount of RAM that the system I'm currently using has. | 00:51 |
| === Fed45 is now known as Fed44 | ||
| critt | zykotick9 I see.. I can start it from unity dock but thats not my issue. | 00:51 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: And IE8 for the browser. | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: what is the issue then? | 00:51 |
| girffe | It says [OK] after starting LightDM, then says checking battery state, it doesn't have an OK after battery. I'm running this on a desktop | 00:51 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Would rather use Firefox instead of Chrome, but at least Chrome's a step up from IE. | 00:51 |
| ljack | Windows XP was good, while it was alive. | 00:51 |
| ljack | And yes I also prefer Firefox to Chromium. | 00:52 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: At least Chrome's better than IE. | 00:52 |
| critt | ActionParsnip It stopped launching at startup after I did a system update | 00:52 |
| hico | hallo ubuntu 2012 was good | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 2012 in rpy (Ubuntu) "Python-rpy-doc not installable" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2012 | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: try removing the startup item and readd it | 00:52 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Not the biggest fan of Chrome, but hate IE. | 00:52 |
| ljack | Same with me. | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: you may need to make a small script to run the dock if compiz is not loaded fast enough | 00:53 |
| critt | ActionParsnip can try that. | 00:53 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: Opera's kinda meh. | 00:53 |
| critt | Script beyond my pay grade lol | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: I can bash you one out, what is the command to run cairo? | 00:54 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ljack: I assume Chromium's roughly the same as Chrome, and the same with Iceweasel when compared to Firefox, hadn't used Dillo yet. | 00:54 |
| lauratika | opera is good but lately is bahaving like an ass... | 00:54 |
| critt | On Sec | 00:54 |
| ljack | Opera is a bit... well unstable. | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | opera is great, as is chrome | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | opera mini on android is sweeeeeet | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | ActionParsnip, cario will start with cairo-dock | 00:55 |
| TeamRocket1233c | I'm currently using FF11, which isn't the most recent FF out there, but hella better than FF3, which originally came with the Vista install this system came with. | 00:56 |
| zykotick9 | TeamRocket1233c: actually chrome is based off of chromium source code (chromium is the development version, it gets the features first). but because google owns the code, it can be dual-licensed opensource and propritary by the owner - google. | 00:57 |

| critt | ActionParsnip Name: GLX-Dock (Cairo-Dock with OpenGL) Command : cairo-dock Comment : Cairo-Dock with OpenGL (hardware acceleration) | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: http://pastebin.com/pydCQbqi | 00:57 |
| critt | sorry | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: ah, then modify the command to: cairo-dock | 00:58 |
| zykotick9 | TeamRocket1233c: mozilla doesn't allow debian to use the art/name (with understandable reasons actually - but i still side with debian) | 00:58 |
| TeamRocket1233c | zykotick9: So it's basically re-branded Firefox. | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | critt: obviously delete the current startup item | 00:58 |
| zykotick9 | TeamRocket1233c: yes - iceweasel is re-branded firefox. but chrome is closed-source version based on open source code :( chromium | 00:59 |
| critt | ActionParsnip the command is cairo-dock already | 00:59 |
| TeamRocket1233c | zykotick9: And if Mozilla don't allow Debian to use the Firefox art/name, and Ubuntu's Debian-based, shouldn't Ubuntu at least have Iceweasel in the repos along with the honest-to-god Firefox? | 00:59 |
| zykotick9 | TeamRocket1233c: if they wanted they could. they wouldn't want to - "free software" has no place in ubuntu/canonical's priorities (it used too...) | 01:00 |
| whoobrien | Hey, random question on xmodmap: can I rebind a key "foo" so that it's basic press is the "ctrl+bar" press of some other key "bar"? For instance, I want to rebind the Fwd/Back keys to be ctrl+pgup and ctrl+pgdn (tab jumps in webpage). | 01:00 |

| TeamRocket1233c | zykotick9: Well, whatever, you want a lightweight browser, Dillo's it. | 01:12 |

| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: midori is light too | 01:13 |

| rypervenche | HA | 01:13 |
| kantlivelong | anyone here get ginn working? | 01:13 |
| rypervenche | Was just about to mention that one ActionParsnip. | 01:13 |

| rypervenche | Qupzilla is pretty cool. Very fast. | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Kazehakase used to be around but i think its dead | 01:15 |

| amr_ | how to install latest gnome (3+) on ubuntu 12.-4? | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: its default installed | 01:16 |
| amr_ | what !!! then how to access it? | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: you are using it when you run apps like nautilus and so forth | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: unity is a shell for Gnome | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: are you wanting a Gnome2 like desktop by any remote chance? | 01:18 |
| amr_ | then I think I mean some other shell | 01:18 |
| halem | hey | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: gnome-shell is another shell, as is gnome-panel | 01:18 |
| lauratika | does qupzilla works with out kde? | 01:18 |
| TeamRocket1233c | amr_: How 'bout Cinnamon or MATE? | 01:18 |
| amr_ | no I will search for a screan shot for what I mean and will post the link just a min | 01:18 |

| hoyang | how to switch gnome3 to gnome2? or gnome2 look-and-feel. | 01:19 |
| klync | blitz__: do `grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log` | 01:19 |
| hoyang | ubuntu 12.04lts | 01:19 |
| Farffy | anyone here want to take a crack at helping with video driver issues? | 01:19 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: do you have xwindows installed? | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hoyang: install gnome-panel, log off then log into the new session | 01:19 |
| klync | blitz__: you will see *at least* one line of output, explaining why I recommend doing that | 01:19 |

| amr_ | gnome 3 | 01:21 |
| hoyang | mate? | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | !notunity | hoyang | 01:21 |
| ubottu | hoyang: 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 | 01:21 |
| blitz__ | klync: I tried deleting (and backing up) xorg.config earlier, but it didn't fix it | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: yeah, if you want to reduce support | 01:21 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: It's basically re-branded GNOME 2. | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: thats gnome shell | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: yes but its not supported here | 01:21 |
| blitz__ | danielboston26: somewhat new to linux, what do you mean? I haven't installed anything on top of/in place of the default Unity | 01:22 |
| zykotick9 | hoyang: that gnome-panel is the gnome2 like environment | 01:22 |
| bazhang | TeamRocket1233c, unsupported PPA. | 01:22 |
| amr_ | so how to install it on my ubuntu 12 | 01:22 |
| Farffy | anyone help with video issues? | 01:22 |
| hoyang | aha! classic. | 01:22 |
| bazhang | Farffy, ask a real question | 01:22 |
| klync | blitz__: if you have nvidia's drivers (not the stock "nouveau" driver), and upgraded your kernel, you'll need to re-run the nvidia-installer as root to get the modules recompiled; then reboot and all should be well | 01:22 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: It's available on Ubuntu, along with Cinnamon. | 01:22 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: xwindows is the gui | 01:22 |
| hoyang | emulator? | 01:22 |
| bazhang | TeamRocket1233c, and it's NOT supported as was said | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !find cinnamo | 01:22 |
| ubottu | File cinnamo found in gamgi-data, openclipart-png, openclipart-svg, tdiary-theme | 01:22 |

| TeamRocket1233c | !find cinnamon | 01:23 |
| ubottu | File cinnamon found in gamgi-data, openclipart-png, openclipart-svg, tdiary-theme | 01:23 |

| ActionParsnip | TeamRocket1233c: its not in the official repos so it's not supported here | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Package/file cinnamon-desktop does not exist in precise | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | the icons, art is support though :p | 01:23 |
| TeamRocket1233c | ActionParsnip: OK. | 01:23 |
| amr_ | how to install gnome shell 3 on ubuntu 12 | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 01:24 |
| danielboston26 | amr sudo apt-get install gnome 3 | 01:24 |
| Farffy | ok. installed ubuntu, changed video driver to recommended driver using additional hardware. i can log into my account, left side of screen is 'off screen' and the right side is shown. black fills rest of space. i can sometimes get to actual desktop doing sudo lightdm restart, but cant lately. when switching between term and desktop, they overlap and i see what i type on both. | 01:24 |
| zykotick9 | amr_: look at the !notunity factoids above | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: then log off and log in to the new session | 01:24 |
| bazhang | danielboston26, thats not correct | 01:24 |
| TeamRocket1233c | !find fluxbox | 01:24 |
| ubottu | Found: fluxbox | 01:24 |
| Eddy_ | Hello all! :) | 01:24 |
| blitz__ | klync: I didn't upgrade my kernel myself, unless it was in one of the automatic updates Ubuntu does, but before the error, when I booted it would say something about monitor configuration being wrong, and my left monitor was configured to be on the right, I'd have to fix it every time I rebooted. Can't think of anything I did since then that should have broken anything | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: user desires gnome shell | 01:24 |
| danielboston26 | arm or just search ubuntu software center for gnome | 01:24 |
| bazhang | TeamRocket1233c, /msg ubottu | 01:24 |
| klync | danielboston26: without an X server lightdm wouldn't install, and blitz__ wouldn't get the "starting lightdm..." msg. there's an error in the xorg.0.log that shows it's a problem w the driver | 01:24 |
| blitz__ | danielboston26: Yeah, I did a standard install, and it's been working fine until today | 01:25 |
| danielboston26 | ah i missed that aprt | 01:25 |
| blitz__ | I also tried reinstalling lightdm via apt-get, but it didn't change anything | 01:25 |
| klync | blitz__: well, i don't know how your system's setup, but yes, kernel updates are pushed with all other updates; third-party drivers are not.... can you pastebin the entire output of that command? | 01:25 |
| TeamRocket1233c | How would Mint + LXDE work out? | 01:25 |
| Eddy_ | Quick question. Does anyone know what sort of functionality is lost when connecting to an Exchange 2010 server via Ubuntu (using Thunderbird or any other mail software)? Does the calendar still work? including meeting invites etc.. | 01:26 |
| bazhang | !ot | TeamRocket1233c | 01:26 |
| ubottu | TeamRocket1233c: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:26 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: in that case it sounds like a driver issue | 01:26 |
| blitz__ | pastebin would be difficult given that I'm stuck in CLI mode, one sec, though, the output isn't long | 01:26 |
| danielboston26 | Eddy_: i wasn't aware you do connect to exchange on linux | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | !pastebinit | 01:26 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:26 |
| Eddy_ | danielboston26, a google search shows me that you can using Thunderbird. But wasnt sure if you still get all the functionality offered by Exchange 2010 | 01:27 |
| klync | Eddy_: if you're not using MAPI, you're using IMAP, so yes, you lose calendars, address book, etc | 01:27 |
| blitz__ | "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the system's kernel log for additional error messages and consult the NVIDIA README for details. ***Aborting***" | 01:27 |
| danielboston26 | Eddy_: im not sure ive never done it | 01:27 |
| blitz__ | then on a new line: | 01:27 |
| Eddy_ | yup, im using MAPI. So no Linux MAPI support? | 01:27 |
| klync | Eddy_: there's a mapi plugin for tbird and for evolution, but I've never gotten either to work | 01:27 |
| lauratika | how can i asign plugin path to chrome? | 01:27 |
| blitz__ | "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." | 01:27 |
| zykotick9 | Eddy_: Exchange is not a mail server/client - it's so much more (or less?) | 01:27 |
| Eddy_ | klync, thanks mate. I will look in to those plugins | 01:27 |
| klync | Eddy_: i have no idea if ubuntu ships them or if you'd need to compile from source | 01:27 |
| danielboston26 | Eddy_: why not use google sync? | 01:27 |
| danielboston26 | Eddy_: or is this for work? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Eddy_: or theemail web interface on exchane | 01:28 |
| blitz__ | Should I just try updating nvidia drivers and see if it fixes the issue? | 01:28 |
| zjhui1 | hi , when i install some package on ubuntu 11.10 , it comes error with mesaage like : /usr/include/stdint.h:27:24: error: bits/wchar.h: No such file or directory . etc. | 01:28 |

| Eddy_ | danielboston26, this is for the company I work for. So using anything else isnt possible | 01:28 |
| bazhang | zjhui1, install how | 01:28 |
| zjhui1 | should i lose some package on the system > | 01:28 |

| danielboston26 | Eddy_: in that case i would use windows in a vm on linux | 01:29 |
| blitz__ | danielboston26: any idea how to do so from CLI? | 01:29 |
| klync | Eddy_: windows in a vm (eg virtualbox) might be the best solution, but feel free to look for those plugins first | 01:29 |
| amr_ | hello ,I installed the gnome shell but it not like this >>http://www.h-online.com/open/slideshow/bilderstrecke_1616673.html?back=1614860;back_page=1;image=2 | 01:29 |
| bazhang | zjhui1, which package and what installation method = install how | 01:29 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: not sure of the exact syntax but you can use apt-get | 01:29 |
| Eddy_ | danielboston26, klync. That may be the best way to go. Thanks guys | 01:29 |
| blitz__ | danielboston26: initially I'd just gone to their site for it, is it in the Ubuntu repos or would I have to install lynx or something? | 01:29 |
| kbuel | danielboston26, i use thunderbird plus davmail to obtain all the features of our corporate exchange server | 01:29 |
| klync | O_o | 01:30 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: i believe it is in the ubuntu repo | 01:30 |
| Farffy | i installed ubuntu, changed video driver to recommended driver using additional hardware. i can log into my account, left side of screen is 'off screen' and the right side is shown. black fills rest of space. i can sometimes get to actual desktop doing sudo lightdm restart, but cant lately. when switching between term and desktop, they overlap and i see what i type on both. how can i fix the video drivers to correctly display des | 01:30 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: you need need to install the propreitary repo | 01:30 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: i tried to install gentoo prefix on ubuntu 11.10 , and when i use the sime portage to install the gcc , than it comes error | 01:30 |
| danielboston26 | blitz__: as nvidia does not open source their drivers | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | zjhui1: lol | 01:31 |
| bazhang | zjhui1, you are trying to use portage with Ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| blitz__ | danialboston26: If by that you mean multiverse, then yeah I already have it enabled | 01:31 |
| usuario | hi, i need help to install scaner on my RICOH aficio mp c2500 my GNU-linux do , not detec :-( | 01:31 |

| kbuel | danielboston26, sorry I must have come into the conversation late | 01:32 |
| danielboston26 | amr it doesn't look like the screen shot | 01:32 |
| bazhang | usuario, try simplescan | 01:32 |
| klync | amr_: we saw your msg the first time; if you're not getting a response, try rephrasing or giving us more info | 01:32 |
| danielboston26 | kbuel yes someone else was asking about exchange on linux i was just saying i wasn't aware of a way to do it | 01:32 |
| amr_ | check the link ,this is what i want my desk top to look like, so I install the gnome shell but when I log to it I didn't found it like this | 01:32 |
| usuario | bazhang ,don work xsane | 01:32 |
| blitz__ | danielboston26: klync: the repo seems to be nvidia-current, but when I type 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current', it says it's already on the latest version | 01:32 |
| bazhang | amr_, yes, no need to repeat | 01:32 |
| amr_ | klync: okay thank you | 01:32 |
| amr_ | bazhang: sorry again | 01:33 |
| klync | blitz__: try `sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current` | 01:33 |
| bazhang | usuario, what about simplescan | 01:33 |
| Erin | Does writing 0's to a computer HD make it safe to sell ? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: set the wallpaper to the gnome default and you will | 01:33 |
| danielboston26 | erin how many times? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: yes | 01:33 |
| usuario | bazhang ; simple scan, dont detect :-( | 01:33 |
| Erin | I am on the second pass now using DD to write them. | 01:33 |
| amr_ | actionParsnip: no it's not about the wallpaper man | 01:33 |
| Farffy | i need help fixing a video driver. i used recommended driver from Additional drivers. i cannot correctly display the desktop (one half 'off screen') and cannot switch between terminal and desktop without the terminal 'leaking' to the desktop can anyone help | 01:33 |
| Erin | I | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: well, i cant see your screen... | 01:34 |
| danielboston26 | Erin i would do a 7 pass | 01:34 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: gentoo has a project called gentoo-prefix, that is tried to let portage work on other linux distribute | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: so you'll have to fill me in | 01:34 |
| danielboston26 | Erin anything above 7 is overkill | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | danielboston26: its not needed nowadays | 01:34 |
| bazhang | zjhui1, was that brought over to ubuntu? got a link? | 01:34 |
| KAsp3rd | Evening everyone. | 01:34 |
| kbuel | Erin, check out the shred application | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: a single pass is fine | 01:34 |
| klync | gentoo is *so* hardcore. they're like the samuel l. jackson of distros | 01:34 |
| danielboston26 | what isn't ActionParsnip | 01:34 |
| amr_ | ActionParsnip: just tell me how to make my desktop look like this, i just installed ubuntu 12.04 | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | danielboston26: 7 sweeps of data change to delete data | 01:35 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml | 01:35 |
| blitz__ | ok, ran that, going to try restarting | 01:35 |
| danielboston26 | ActionParsnip: im paranoid :-P | 01:35 |
| KAsp3rd | Quick quest for y'all... Any idea on how to see what it eating up my free space on sdb? (running cli only) | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: the window theme will be the same, the wallpaper will need adding | 01:35 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: some one has successed to install that on ubuntu 11.10 | 01:35 |
| Farffy | are there other channels i can go to, to get help w/ my issue? | 01:35 |
| danielboston26 | ActionParsnip: you know how MI5 gets rid of data? | 01:35 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, well i've done two already I just want to make sure no one gets my credit card number etc. | 01:35 |
| bazhang | zjhui1, link please | 01:35 |
| klync | KAsp3rd: recursively do `du -h` | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | danielboston26: it achieves nothing extra the more sweeps you do | 01:35 |
| klync | KAsp3rd: or, do `find ` with a size arg as a predicate | 01:35 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml that is | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: there is no data on the drive | 01:36 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, ok cool. thanks | 01:36 |
| KAsp3rd | klync: over 2tb will take forever :( lol | 01:36 |
| danielboston26 | ActionParsnip: they do a 35 pass write on a drive then shred the drive into tiny little pieces then they take the pieces and lock them in a vault | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | amr_: if you have a default install, that is all that needs changing | 01:36 |
| danielboston26 | now thats paranoia | 01:36 |
| usuario | somody now to emulate drivers on gnu-linux ? | 01:36 |
| klync | ActionParsnip: if you write zeros, then random, then zeros, that helps. certain forensic tools can reconstruct partial data based on residual magetization of the platters | 01:37 |
| blitz__ | klync: danielboston26: still the same problem, unfortunately | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | klync: not with newer drives, its not needed | 01:37 |
| Erin | danielboston26, alot easier to just drop thermite on the drive or put it in a blast furnace..... LOL | 01:37 |
| danielboston26 | usuario: can you use complete sentences to ask a question | 01:37 |
| bazhang | lets get back on topic of ubuntu support please | 01:37 |
| Erin | How do I write random data to the drive using DD ? | 01:37 |
| Erin | I'd like to do one pass of that then. | 01:37 |
| Farffy | what other channels are available on this irc server that i can find support for my issues? | 01:38 |
| danielboston26 | usuario: you ask did not use correct english | 01:38 |
| bazhang | !alis | Farffy have a search | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Farffy have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 01:38 |
| klync | KAsp3rd: well, you can try more targeted searching than just doing `du` on every folder; like, look in /var, look in /home (esp for hidden dotfiles / folders) | 01:38 |
| danielboston26 | farffy whats your issue? | 01:38 |
| usuario | i need intall scaner, helpe | 01:38 |
| Farffy | danielboston26: for the 5th time.......... | 01:39 |
| Farffy | danielboston26: i installed ubuntu, changed video driver to recommended driver using additional hardware. i can log into my account, left side of screen is 'off screen' and the right side is shown. black fills rest of space. i can sometimes get to actual desktop doing sudo lightdm restart, but cant lately. when switching between term and desktop, they overlap and i see what i type on both. how can i fix the video drivers to corre | 01:39 |
| klync | ActionParsnip: sure, i may not be up to date. if i'm really concerned about the data being recovered forensically, i'm not going to wipe it and sell it. more like erin's recommendation | 01:39 |
| danielboston26 | usuario: do you not speak english? you are not asking anything that i can make sense of | 01:39 |
| zykotick9 | Farffy: what video card? from terminal "lspci | grep -i vga" | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | klync: its simply not needed with newer drives | 01:39 |
| bazhang | danielboston26, thats enough | 01:39 |
| Erin | Yea I am not worried about the FBI or something. I am just trading some guy this laptop for an SSD cause I got a new laptop and want an SSD :-) | 01:39 |
| danielboston26 | farffy: sounds like a driver issue | 01:40 |
| klync | Erin: woot! :D | 01:40 |
| Farffy | yes...i know its a driver issue, im trying to get help with fixing it | 01:40 |
| HACKhalo2 | is it possible to wake a computer up from sleep mode using an ssh command? | 01:40 |
| Xanather | hello | 01:40 |
| usuario | i need help, to install scaner on LAN, how todo that ? | 01:40 |
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: yes wake on lan | 01:40 |
| klync | HACKhalo2: no, but you can use wake-on-lan | 01:40 |
| Farffy | zykotic9: i am not on that machine, moving back and forth between this and that one, its an nvidia 7950 gt, i have a pastebin of /var/log/Xorg.log if you need that as osmeone else requested it earlier | 01:41 |
| Erin | dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=1M is that safe to do to write random data to an HD? | 01:41 |
| bazhang | usuario, is it listed as being supported? | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | HACKhalo2: a computer can't be running an ssh server while it's "asleep" | 01:41 |
| bazhang | !hcl | usuario | 01:41 |
| ubottu | usuario: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 01:41 |
| klync | Erin: you may lose entropy, but urandom won't lock up your system at least | 01:41 |
| HACKhalo2 | klync Blue1, I'm guessing that's a BIOS thing, not a Ubuntu thing | 01:41 |
| Erin | klync, "entropy" ? I am booted off a live-usb so writing to that drive should be no issue just finished second pass of 0's | 01:42 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: you install wakeonlan | 01:42 |
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: then ssh to the mac address | 01:42 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest19068 | ||
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: well wakeonlan to the mac address | 01:42 |
| HACKhalo2 | ah | 01:42 |
| jagginess | Blue1, mac as in macid address? | 01:44 |
| jagginess | ? | 01:44 |
| Farffy | danielboston26: any suggestion? | 01:44 |
| Erin | WOW writing random data is alot slower than writing 0's, 60 MB/S for 0's vs 10 MB/S for random data :-) | 01:44 |
| jagginess | you ssh to the ip address, not the mac address :/ | 01:44 |
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: so sudo apt-get install wakeonlan --- then wakeonlan <mac_address_goes_here> | 01:44 |
| danielboston26 | farffy none that i can think of | 01:44 |
| usuario | bazhang ; no exit my scaner "RICOH aficio mp c2500" on "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersRicoh" | 01:44 |
| HACKhalo2 | ok | 01:44 |
| zjhui1 | bazhang: something like these ? https://github.com/npinto/gentoo-prefix-bootstrap | 01:44 |
| usuario | what can i do ?? | 01:44 |
| usuario | :'( | 01:45 |
| bazhang | usuario, it may not be supported then. you may wish to check canon for drivers | 01:45 |
| jagginess | usuario, i is spelled in caps | 01:45 |
| HACKhalo2 | I can't do the apt-get install on this laptop (running archlinux), but I'll do it on my desktop (running Ubuntu | 01:45 |
| jagginess | ^ | 01:45 |
| ebolla | How do you use modprobe to find the driver being used for a device? (guess I need to know what ubuntu is calling it as well) | 01:45 |
| klync | ok, so my issue is grub: i have several kernels installed, and i do `grep -i menuentry` /boot/grub/grub.cfg and pick the one I want (counting from zero), then do `update-grub` after setting that num in /etc/default/grub, then check that the kernel i want is still in that position, but when i reboot, I _cannot_ land on that kernel. I *can* see that it's still there in /boot/ though. anything i'm missing? | 01:46 |
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: please note that I am running ubuntu 10.04 and debian squeeze, so I don't know if apt-get still works in the current release. | 01:46 |
| HACKhalo2 | i use pacman | 01:46 |
| HACKhalo2 | so | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HACKhalo2: so your issue is in arch? | 01:46 |
| usuario | What has to do ricoh with canon? | 01:46 |
| === smplman_ is now known as smplman | ||
| ActionParsnip | ebolla: sudo lshw | less will show you all hardware, plu the module driving it | 01:46 |
| HACKhalo2 | well, it's still Ubuntu related (I need my arch laptop to wake up my Ubuntu desktop before a git commit) | 01:46 |
| jagginess | Blue1, the tools are still the same | 01:47 |
| ebolla | ActionParsnip: Thank you. | 01:47 |
| bazhang | usuario, ok, check ricoh for drivers, my mistake | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | HACKhalo2: i see, well do you have WOL setup in arch? | 01:47 |
| Blue1 | jagginess: thanks - - | 01:47 |
| HACKhalo2 | ActionParsnip working on that now | 01:47 |
| Blue1 | HACKhalo2: iirc you have to enable wake on lan in the bios as well | 01:47 |
| usuario | on oficial page of RICOH , dont do a drver for GNU-linux :-( , only for window$ and MAC | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | HACKhalo2: if you install wakeonlan package, you can send magicpackets to systems | 01:48 |
| Darkenvy | who knows much about photorec? | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !info photorec | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Package photorec does not exist in precise | 01:49 |
| Darkenvy | Im trying to recover a file and it wants me to wait 52 hours after I already just waited 2 hours | 01:49 |
| Darkenvy | Actionparsnip, dont do the bot on me, im asking for personal help from a human -_- | 01:50 |
| Darkenvy | I have researched as much as I can find out on photorec | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: it was my own education, thanks | 01:50 |
| Darkenvy | aaah, your right its not directed to me lol | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: yep | 01:51 |
| Darkenvy | I dont like being botted and it happens a lot | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: many users ask the same thing a lot | 01:51 |
| MindALot | Can I safely recreate a boot sector if I delete the partition with the current boot sector in it ? | 01:51 |
| Darkenvy | photorec help recovers files that are in deleted partitions or deleted files | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MindALot: sure, you can boot to liveCD and instate grub using a simple chroot | 01:51 |
| bazhang | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/photorec.1.html <--- Darkenvy have a read | 01:51 |
| ebolla | ActionParsnip: Would you happen to have any experience with HPT raid controllers under Ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: why not use your backups? | 01:51 |
| MindALot | ActionParsnip: will that find a currently installed linux partition (that wasn't deleted) ? | 01:52 |
| Darkenvy | I thought I backuped an important virtual machine, but it was just the savestate -_- | 01:52 |
| ubuntu_ | is there any openldap gui tools that allow you to create LDAP entries ca dn ,...etc records thru gui out there | 01:52 |
| Darkenvy | yes thats what im doing mindAlot | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: oooh painful | 01:53 |
| jagginess | MindALot, juse use gparted live cd, makes it safe | 01:53 |
| Darkenvy | I reinstalled ubuntu on the same partition over and the file is in the same location | 01:53 |
| MindALot | Darkenvy: cool | 01:53 |
| jagginess | MindALot, you trying to use gpt instead of dosmbr? | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MindALot: if you can mount the partition, you can make it bootable etc | 01:53 |
| MindALot | I haven't removed anything yet | 01:53 |
| MindALot | I have ubuntu installed twice | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | MindALot: if the drive is big etc then it will take a long time | 01:53 |
| MindALot | but the first one is 32 bit, and has the boot record | 01:53 |
| MindALot | the second is the one I want to keep | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ebolla: sorry, no | 01:53 |
| MindALot | I want to remove the first, and still use the second | 01:53 |
| jagginess | MindALot, ya, you'll need to boot off the one you want to keep and do ->grub-install /dev/<your hd> | 01:54 |
| MindALot | it's a SSD, about 40 gig for each partition | 01:54 |
| ebolla | ActionParsnip: No biggy. not a lot of raid users in here that use ubuntu from what I've seen ;) | 01:54 |
| MindALot | oh, I can install grub to my current partition... | 01:54 |
| MindALot | what happens if I do that without deleting the other one, how does the BIOS choose which 'grub' to load ? | 01:55 |
| jagginess | MindALot, why not the mbr? | 01:55 |
| alexi5 | hello | 01:55 |
| usuario | heloow | 01:55 |
| usuario | ask | 01:55 |
| jagginess | MindALot, are they both ext4 partitions with just ubuntu on them? | 01:55 |
| MindALot | I think so, hold on | 01:55 |
| ahhughes | is there a command line way to switch between windows... or bring one window to top, or even switch desktop's? | 01:55 |
| alexi5 | which is the best laptop that has the best linux (ubuntu support) HP dv6t , lenovo T520 or a 2011 mac book pro ? | 01:56 |
| MindALot | booth are ext4 | 01:56 |
| MindALot | one has the boot flag | 01:56 |
| MindALot | and the other I'm currently running (is mount point /) | 01:56 |
| jagginess | ahhughes, you have to logout and then log back in for a different desktop | 01:56 |
| jagginess | ahhughes, or you can use the "switch user" if you want to come back from your current desktop | 01:57 |
| jagginess | MindALot, bootflags arent used by linux | 01:57 |
| klync | alexi5: there was a site, "linuxlaptop.org" or something like that, that kept a db of different hardware reports | 01:57 |
| MindALot | how do I find where grub was run from at boot time ? | 01:57 |
| alexi5 | thanks | 01:57 |
| jagginess | MindALot, so do whatever you want with the ubuntu you want to wipeout (of course be booted in the ubuntu you want before anything)--- once that ubuntu is gone, do grub-install /dev/<drive> on the current on that's already booted | 01:58 |
| klync | alexi5: sorry, i checked ... what i typed is crap link farming... | 01:58 |
| klync | alexi5: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ | 01:58 |
| ahhughes | jagginess: I think I am not explaining myself... I think I mean workspaces... I have 1 desktop with 4x workspaces yes? assuming yes... then I want to switch workspaces or alternatively switch focus between two windows. | 01:58 |
| usuario | dont work ----> linuxlaptop.org | 01:58 |
| alexi5 | thanks Klync | 01:59 |
| MindALot | alright, thanks !! | 01:59 |
| klync | usuario: sorry ^^ | 01:59 |
| jagginess | ahhughes, ya.. there's the systemsettings/keyboard, then look on the shortcuts tab :/ | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ahhughes: theres keyboard shortcuts.. press/hold the super key to see them | 01:59 |
| jagginess | ahhughes, there's a good# shortcuts for workspaces.. | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ahhughes: windows-# to stitch btween the top 5 or so apps on the left side panel | 01:59 |
| jagginess | ahhughes, i would know little of unity, but i'm suspecting it's the same place | 01:59 |

| === woman is now known as thomas | ||
| jagginess | MindALot, try it as root or with sudo (also it may be wise to do an ->update-grub2<enter> which updates grub.cfg) | 02:01 |

| bazhang | maladore, whats the real question | 02:04 |
| jagginess | maladore, maybe your harddrive is physicaly "screwed" | 02:04 |
| maladore | trying to make a swap on the 1 gig left. and it only goes to extend and won't format | 02:04 |
| jagginess | maladore, . | 02:04 |
| jagginess | maladore, an extended partition cannot hold a format to it from any Oses | 02:05 |
| maladore | yes but it won't go logical | 02:05 |
| maladore | using the new gparted | 02:05 |
| jagginess | maladore, extended partition can only contain logical partitions | 02:05 |
| jagginess | maladore, what you mean? | 02:05 |
| klync | maladore: can you pastebin the current layout (eg sfdisk -l)? | 02:06 |
| jagginess | maladore, what's inside the ext partition? | 02:06 |
| MindALot | jagginess: that worked, or it didn't change anything. | 02:06 |
| maladore | Well trying to make a swap.. when i use gparted yes.. i tried that but i wouldn't work | 02:06 |
| jagginess | MindALot, did you do "update-grub2<enter>" ? | 02:06 |
| MindALot | hrm.. I wonder if there is an easy way to clean up the boot selecltion | 02:06 |
| MindALot | update-grub2 ? | 02:06 |
| maladore | one logical is the only way to do it.. but it is unreadable and get crypt errors | 02:06 |
| jagginess | MindALot, then you can reboot :/ | 02:06 |
| jagginess | MindALot, y. (i hinted it would help to update grub.cfg) | 02:06 |
| MindALot | ohh, cool | 02:07 |
| jagginess | MindALot, grub.cfg gets read when grub starts from the bios | 02:07 |
| MindALot | thanks ! | 02:07 |
| klync | MindALot: i saw a gtk util for managing grub while searching the other day, but can't remember the name :/ it's in a 3rd party apt repo | 02:07 |
| MindALot | still have to remove some other installs | 02:07 |
| jagginess | maladore, what operation is failing, you should be able to tell | 02:08 |
| jagginess | (click on the detail arrows) | 02:08 |
| maladore | Well when i booted before after a fresh install and update it gave me crypt swap error. i tried using gparted to fix this error. and it won't go to swap anymore. don't tell me i have to reinstall to specify that partition again | 02:09 |
| jagginess | maladore, can you see my last text? | 02:10 |
| jagginess | lol.. I never mentioned about reinstalling anything, you must be on drugs or something | 02:10 |
| maladore | about the operation failing? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | maladore, this is an encrypted system? | 02:10 |
| jagginess | maladore, you said you're using gparted. | 02:10 |
| maladore | no. not at the moment will be later | 02:11 |
| maladore | yes. | 02:11 |
| jagginess | maladore, in gparted, you can see detail messages about operations.. | 02:11 |
| jagginess | ok bye. | 02:11 |
| maladore | hold on i will run it again | 02:11 |
| jagginess | so you said you're using a tool, but you mean "future". You got my times messed up. | 02:11 |
| * jagginess takes a starktrek enterprise to full warptime throttle | 02:11 | |

| jagginess | maladore, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:12 |
| jagginess | ^ | 02:13 |
| jagginess | maladore, unless you are actually already using gparted live cd, sometimes it hooks to the swap partition, you'll have to "unmount" it (you can unmount it with gparted, rt-click it) | 02:13 |
| ZeroNeutron | Hi by doing a apt-get update on ubuntu 12.04 keeps giving me warning failed to get canonical release error | 02:14 |
| maladore | probably because sda1 is boot.. | 02:14 |
| jagginess | maladore, you can't partition something that is currently "mounted"-- meaning a current running OS. In the future this will be possible in linux, but doesnt look like anytime soon. | 02:14 |
| maladore | should I mount iso or burn and boot? | 02:14 |
| klync | maladore: yes | 02:15 |
| klync | err, the latter | 02:15 |
| maladore | alrighty that is what i thought but i am still kinda new to ubuntu.. this is alot more fun the windows ever was hahah | 02:15 |
| klync | heh | 02:15 |
| jagginess | maladore, are you using wubi by any chance? | 02:15 |
| maladore | no gave that up before I started i replaced windows. | 02:16 |
| jagginess | maladore, "/" doesnt say loopback does it? (fdisk -l<enter>) | 02:16 |
| * jagginess uses live gparted on usb | 02:16 | |
| maladore | it doesn't report anything about the drives just gives prompt | 02:17 |
| ZeroNeutron | Hi by doing a apt-get update on ubuntu 12.04 keeps giving me warning failed to get canonical release error | 02:18 |
| maladore | I can use start up disk and create it on usb but the computer refuses to boot from usb. has it in bios but won't do it. | 02:18 |
| bazhang | ZeroNeutron, please pastebin the full error at paste.ubuntu.com | 02:18 |
| jagginess | maladore, you don't know how to burn in linux? | 02:18 |
| maladore | Yeah I know brasero and such.. i can do that.. but i was having trouble with usb mounting onthe last time i was checking out linux systems | 02:19 |

| bazhang | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/netstat.8.html sgronblo seems unchanged | 02:28 |
| jagginess | sandprickle, not sure but maybe you'll want to look at update-rc.d and see the output of it | 02:29 |
| sgronblo | Ok, I'll look into it some more. Thanks. | 02:29 |
| jagginess | sandprickle, i dont know if "update-rc.d" is supposed to be the norm, i'm betting it's going to be succeeded by something in ubuntu in the coming releases | 02:29 |

| CanAnon__ | its re: ubuntu server+samba | 03:12 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu-server|CanAnon__ | 03:13 |
| ubottu | CanAnon__: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 03:13 |

| CanAnon__ | anyone :\ | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | CanAnon__ | 03:21 |
| ubottu | CanAnon__: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:21 |

| danielboston26 | howardgrigg: whats your question? | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | pyrokinetic: easy cheat, open a window navigator, open command line. type your md5sum command and drag and drop the iso onto the terminal line. the command will then point to the right location and begin the check | 03:56 |

| danielboston26 | howardgrigg: check ubuntu software center for disk managerment | 04:00 |

| pyrokinetic | cfhowlett: ooh. are we talking about wubi? or something else? | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | pyrokinetic: absolutely not. (btw wubi is NOT recommended for permanent install - only testing). The alternate installer is a text based setting, so no pretty ubuntu graphics to look at while you're getting set up. Output will be the same ubuntu as you would install with ubuntu desktop iso. | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | pyrokinetic: alternate is a bit more hands on and less handholding than you would have with the desktop iso scenario | 04:12 |
| pyrokinetic | cfhowlett: alright. gotcha. my next question is this....when I look through my partitions through gparted it shows my windows partition (the biggest partition) as being unused. yet when I look through files through the menu system I can see all my files I'd normally see through windows. just to clarify....regardless of what gparted says....THAT is the partition I need to shrink...yes? | 04:12 |

| cfhowlett | Stralytic: I know there's a win8 developer forum, so irc seems likely. good luck | 04:21 |
| pyrokinetic | cfhowlett: I think that might be quite a wise move. but to clarify....for the millionth time...so I don't end up beating my computer to death....the partition I want to shrink is the one with all my files I'd typically see/use in windows....yes? | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | pyrokinetic: correct. | 04:22 |
| cfhowlett | pyrokinetic: relax. you can breath now. | 04:22 |

| Nautilus | anyone here use NX? I'm moving to 12.04 and having questions | 05:00 |
| iManasseh | hi Nautilus - what's the prob | 05:01 |
| Nautilus | iManassah: new install of 12.04 and just installed ssh & NX, then logged in from another box and all I see is the desktop background. | 05:02 |
| GreenEmber | i just installed a new graphics card and now it is running in low graphics mode and when i try to open the nvidia-settings app it says im not using the nvidia module. do i need to get a different module for this new card? | 05:02 |
| Nautilus | iManassah: NX 3.5 server, NX 3.4.x on my Windows box I'm using to log in | 05:03 |
| iManasseh | no Unity launcher icons? | 05:04 |
| Nautilus | nope. ohhhh, Compiz is crashing after boot. | 05:05 |
| Nautilus | so maybe that's breaking graphic display? | 05:06 |
| Nautilus | is tere a way I can disable Compiz for now? | 05:07 |
| iManasseh | lol - Once in a while I'll have a prob with Compiz...login as 2d? | 05:07 |
| Nautilus | oh, lemme see if I can figure out how. I did read a note about that | 05:08 |
| === bobbyaldolAFK is now known as bobbyaldol | ||
| iManasseh | well, I don't think NX is capable of using Compiz completely. | 05:09 |

| iManasseh | you can reset the Unity from the terminal... | 05:09 |
| Nautilus | i think I need that 2d login, but dunno where/how to find it's settings. server, client? | 05:10 |

| rollitup | Hi I have been experiencing strange behavior on my Ubuntu desktop, like the wrong keys keep appearing on the screen, applications keep opening up like the calculator , could this be a hack attempt ? | 05:25 |

| rollitup | sorry cfhowlett am back now there was someone at the door | 05:35 |
| rollitup | i have no childrens here | 05:35 |
| rollitup | but do u think it could be the keyboard | 05:36 |
| upset | rollitup: Easily | 05:36 |
| upset | Could simply be faulty | 05:36 |
| cfhowlett | rollitup: ok. well, if you're sure there has been no liquid contamination, the keyboard settings are correct, the keyboard works and is plugged in and no keys are stuck ... | 05:36 |
| upset | rollitup: plug in another keyboard and see if the ghostly things still happen | 05:36 |
| cfhowlett | upset: then I don't know what to tell you .... But here's a test. Create or login as another user and see if the issue continues. | 05:37 |
| rollitup | yes upset | 05:37 |
| upset | cfhowlett: Don't tell me! Tell fruit rollup | 05:37 |
| cfhowlett | rollitup: happens with another keyboard then it's NOT the keyboard. | 05:37 |
| upset | Late guys, there's a pagestyle called marginalia that I've discovered | 05:38 |
| rollitup | yes i have to go to the stores to get a new keyboard now | 05:38 |

| keanne | hi anyone running gammu, gammu-smsd in ubuntu? | 05:40 |
| FishFace | Holding down the SHIFT key before your normal boot screen comes up will give you options. | 05:40 |
| Wuffy | I know when dual booting, there is a safe mode of ubuntu listed in Grub. I'me a bit of a neophyte, but if you do as Fish Face said, the grub loader will show up, and give you options for safe mode | 05:41 |

| MerlynKorr | im trying to get any admin actions done any various thing.... | 05:54 |
| schwert | what does that mean? | 05:54 |
| MerlynKorr | the passcode doesnt let me do it/them. | 05:55 |
| schwert | if you type 'sudo ls' into console | 05:55 |
| schwert | and it asks you for a password | 05:55 |
| schwert | can you put in the correct password | 05:55 |
| schwert | ? | 05:55 |
| MerlynKorr | the passcode is refused. | 05:55 |
| schwert | what is the message that it returns? | 05:55 |
| MerlynKorr | under any and all actions the passcode is refused, | 05:55 |
| schwert | then unless some magic is happening, it is the wrong password | 05:56 |
| schwert | and I dont have any answers for you | 05:56 |
| schwert | apologies | 05:56 |
| MerlynKorr | schwert the passcode comes back as "invalid password" | 05:56 |
| schwert | so you are in the sudoers file | 05:56 |
| schwert | and you are putting the wrong password in | 05:57 |
| schwert | that is all I can tell you | 05:57 |

| popsul_ | hi | 06:25 |
| witchmaster | hi | 06:25 |
| asalways | i have a question here. how can i run gui apps wihtout desktop enviroemnt | 06:25 |
| hateball | asalways: Start an X session, tell your apps to run there. Question is why? :p | 06:26 |
| popsul_ | asalways, not is way | 06:26 |
| asalways | i know i must have x server and gtk libraries which i alreadt have. | 06:26 |
| Vink | Hello! I'm trying to install 12.04 on a different machine and it's not working. Specifically, I couldn't use the default option of installing everything in one place, because grub could not be installed. A friend said that some systems can't handle having the boot thing in the same place. | 06:26 |
| popsul_ | i think | 06:26 |
| Ascavasaion | hateball: I have, nothing comes up. I chose LTS updates, and nothing. | 06:26 |
| Vink | And now it's even worse because I have too little understanding of how partitioning works. | 06:27 |
| asalways | hateball: i have started my machine from konsole and run X then i set the DISPLAY: 0 then i ran my app but it showed me an error | 06:27 |
| Antares | Ascavasaion, I haven't tried going from 10.04 personally, but have you tried something like this http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-from-ubuntu-10-04-via-the-terminal/?ModPagespeed=noscript ? | 06:27 |
| hateball | Ascavasaion: you could try running, from the cli, "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 06:27 |
| hateball | Ascavasaion: that would be "do-release-upgrade -p" | 06:28 |
| Gallomimia | partitioning is not as complicated as you think. it's not a difficult concept at all to grasp. perhaps you are questioning why and failing to understand that. it may be that no one quite understands the why of partitioning schemes in linux installs ;) | 06:28 |
| hateball | asalways: Well without the exact error it's hard to tell :) Some apps may look if you're running $Environment and refuse to run on bare X, etc | 06:29 |
| Gallomimia | vink what state is the machine you're trying to install upon in right now? | 06:29 |
| asalways | Error unable to initialize GTK+. is DISPLAY set properly . i set DISPLAY 0 | 06:30 |
| asalways | ahh. i think i know da the solution | 06:30 |
| Vink | Gallomimia: It's in a pretty bad state. :P Well, I can use the installation CD but when I try to install I can't even get back to the partitioning part, so clearly I've messed things up. | 06:30 |
| Ascavasaion | hateball: I am doing that... will it automatically jump to the newest LTS? | 06:31 |
| hateball | Ascavasaion: I *think* so, since that should be the latest proposed upgrade | 06:32 |
| Ascavasaion | hateball: Okay, thank you. | 06:32 |
| hateball | Ascavasaion: It should tell you before it starts, either way | 06:32 |
| Vink | I can get to the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" step, but when I press Continue it just keeps "thinking" and doesn't get anywhere. | 06:32 |
| Gallomimia | ugh that's bad. what state was it in before you ever put a ubuntu liveCD in it? | 06:33 |
| Gallomimia | was there another OS installed? Is there still? is there any files on there you would rather not lose? | 06:34 |
| Vink | Obviously I had no problems continuing earlier. This happened after one of my failed partitioning attempts. The installer said there was an error and that I should reboot and so I did. | 06:34 |
| Vink | Well, the previous owner had a suspicious windows 7. That worked while I downloaded and burned the installation CD. | 06:35 |
| Gallomimia | obviously its recommended to backup important files before trying an install. is this a problem? cause my next advice is to completely blast the drive in question. erase it completely and don't put any partitions on it. then run installer again. anyone else got advice? | 06:35 |
| Gallomimia | oh it's a fresh acquisition. nothing you need on the drive | 06:35 |
| Gallomimia | best way to fix this problem from this point is to boot from the liveCD and use some tools to tinker with the partitions | 06:36 |
| Vink | Yes, fresh for me at least, but it's not a brand new machine. | 06:36 |
| Gallomimia | yeah no one cares how old it is. the only concern right now is the potential to lose a ton of data you can't afford losing | 06:36 |
| Vink | Right. Some tools to tinker you say? | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | there's partition tools in the gui. parted i think? | 06:37 |
| Gallomimia | and i suggest unpartitioning the drive, or fast-formatting it. or something like that. remove any grub bootloaders bootsectors stuff like that | 06:38 |
| Gallomimia | get rid of it all and attempt a clean install from step 1 again | 06:38 |
| Vink | Using alt+f2 and searching parted I find parted_devices and parted_server. Shall I use the former, then? | 06:39 |
| hateball | Vink: It's more likely to be called "Disk utility" or some such | 06:40 |
| hateball | Vink: Although it's probably gparted. Even if parted works as well. as does shred. | 06:40 |
| Vink | hateball: Thanks. I'm not used to this no-menu thing, though. How do I find it? | 06:41 |
| hateball | Vink: alt+f2, type "disk..." should find it, I'd think | 06:41 |
| hateball | Vink: failing that, launch a terminal, run gparted from there :p | 06:42 |
| Vink | I'll try the terminal. | 06:42 |
| Vink | Haha! Says gparted requires root privileges. | 06:43 |
| Vink | How do I get that on a LiveCD? | 06:44 |
| howardgrigg | hey guys I'm trying to use apt-get but I'm getting lots of errors like Something wicked happened resolving 'au.archive.ubuntu.com:http' | 06:45 |
| zevon | howdy everyone | 06:45 |
| Vink | howdy zevon | 06:45 |
| Vink | Is there a way to get root privileges on a LiveCD? | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | howardgrigg:did you try sudo apt-get update? | 06:47 |
| howardgrigg | lotuspsychje, yea that's what is giving the error | 06:48 |
| Vink | Oh, nevermind, sudo gparted worked. | 06:48 |
| Vink | Now how do I unpartition everything? | 06:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Vink what do you mean? | 06:51 |
| Vink | MonkeyDust, I messed up the partitioning. So I'd like to remove everything and start again from scratch. So using the LiveCD, I started gparted and would like to know how to proceed. | 06:53 |
| hateball | Vink: You should be able to choose some like "create new partition table" | 06:53 |

| FallGuy44 | My goodness, that's a lot of people. | 06:55 |
| OnlyMAJ | hateball: i have dell lotop inspiron N5010 | 06:55 |
| MonkeyDust | OnlyMAJ keep it one line please | 06:55 |
| jalexandru | OnlyMAJ: you have issues installing? using ? do you get an error? | 06:55 |
| Vink | OK, now the raided thing is unallocated, sdb is also unallocated, sda has a problem, says "can't have a partition outside the disk!". | 06:56 |
| MonkeyDust | ah raid, missed that part | 06:56 |
| OnlyMAJ | recordMyDesktop doesnt capture screen correctly ! just some part of screen capture after encoding . | 06:57 |
| Vink | I don't even know what raid is, to be honest. | 06:57 |
| FallGuy44 | A person on a website has posted his Public GPG key. It's just plaintext, it's not a "key file" or anything. How do I use that key to create an encrypted message for him? | 06:57 |
| chuck | anybody here familiar with initramfs? | 06:58 |
| FallGuy44 | Is anybody here familiar with the use of GPG? | 06:59 |
| Vink | Quick wikipedia reading, it's something that combines several disk drives into one logical unit. I guess that makes things more complicated? So what do I do next? | 07:00 |
| vamp774 | Vink: if you dont know what it is you dont need it | 07:00 |
| Vink | vamp774, can I remove it somehow? | 07:00 |
| vamp774 | You wont be using RAID if you arent familiar with it | 07:00 |
| vamp774 | Im unsure of specificaly what you're trying to do as I came into the discussion halfway | 07:01 |

| OnlyMAJ | i have ubuntu 12.04 on my dell N5010 lotop.i want to use recordmydesktop.after capturing just some part of screen are visible and other area doesn't captured correcty . issue ??? | 07:01 |
| Vink | vamp774, Oh, sorry. I messed up something with the partitioning when trying to install Ubuntu 12.04. | 07:02 |
| Vink | vamp774, Yes, I bought a machine from a family member who bought it from a friend, and it had windows. | 07:02 |
| TheHumanScience | So i was trying install 10.04 on a netbook and it got hung on 95% of the installation forever so like an impatient kid I yanked it out of the usb port. | 07:03 |
| vamp774 | Vink: How many partitions do you need? If you're just using ubuntu you only need 1 | 07:03 |
| OnlyMAJ | MonkeyDust: i have ubuntu 12.04 on my dell N5010 lotop.i want to use recordmydesktop.after capturing just some part of screen are visible and other area doesn't captured correcty . issue ??? | 07:03 |
| vamp774 | Vink: just hit use entire disk | 07:03 |
| TheHumanScience | Now I can't install anything without getting the initramfs | 07:03 |
| Vink | vamp774, one would be OK for me. | 07:03 |
| vamp774 | Vink: you probably dont want someone elses windows copy on your machine | 07:04 |
| vamp774 | lol | 07:04 |
| TheHumanScience | Am i in the right place for this question? | 07:04 |
| vamp774 | Vink: Ubuntu desktop? | 07:04 |
| MonkeyDust | OnlyMAJ can't help, never used recordmydestop | 07:04 |
| jalexandru | OnlyMAJ: have you tried recording at different resolutions? | 07:04 |
| MonkeyDust | OnlyMAJ or try kazam | 07:04 |
| OnlyMAJ | MonkeyDust: tnx | 07:04 |
| Vink | vamp774, Right, I don't. :) But using the entire disk didn't work, so then I tried partitioning and now it's messed up. | 07:04 |
| Ascavasaion | hateball: It is updating to maverick which is 10.10 :( So much for 12.04. and if it has to do the update in stages it is going to be downloading Gigs! :( | 07:05 |

| vamp774 | Vink: What do you mean the entire disk doesnt work? | 07:05 |
| Vink | vamp774: When I tried to use the entire disk, there was a fatal error when it tried to install grub. | 07:05 |
| jalexandru | OnlyMAJ: yes, try it to see if it makes any differences... | 07:05 |
| OnlyMAJ | jalexandru: wait... | 07:06 |
| TheHumanScience | any help, please? | 07:06 |
| Vink | vamp774: A friend said some systems can't handle having grub in the same place as everything, that's why I tried the partitioning alternative. | 07:06 |
| MonkeyDust | TheHumanScience start with a question | 07:06 |
| vamp774 | Vink: hmm. I've had ubuntu on many machines, versions, old pieces of junk too. never seen that...let me think for a sec | 07:06 |
| TheHumanScience | I did... | 07:06 |
| TheHumanScience | anybody here familiar with initramfs? | 07:07 |
| TheHumanScience | So i was trying install 10.04 on a netbook and it got hung on 95% of the installation forever so like an impatient kid I yanked it out of the usb port. | 07:07 |
| Vink | Well, I suppose I could try again now that I removed things with gparted. | 07:07 |
| vamp774 | Vink: You should still be able to boot from the LiveCD regardless | 07:08 |
| Vink | vamp774: Yes, I'm using the LiveCD on that machine. | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | Are you installing Desktop I assume? not server? | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | I have no idea where gparted is in that | 07:09 |
| Vink | Yes, desktop. | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | i usually use the drag and drop feature | 07:09 |
| Vink | OK, things are happening now, that's good. | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | in the "wizard" for installing ubuntu | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | lol | 07:09 |
| vamp774 | I really hate doing dual boots | 07:10 |
| vamp774 | so otherwise i just wipe the disk | 07:10 |
| vamp774 | Ubuntu requires swap space too | 07:10 |
| vamp774 | so you would have to take that into consideration if you wanted to manually partition | 07:11 |
| vamp774 | but you only need 1 partition so just make your life easy and let ubuntu do the work | 07:11 |
| Vink | I'm trying entire disk again now. | 07:11 |
| vamp774 | ok | 07:11 |
| Vink | So we'll see if that grub error reappears in a few minutes. | 07:12 |

| vamp774 | lol | 07:14 |
| OnlyMAJ | jalexandru: correct . when i select an area on screen it run correctly.but can i do that with whole screen ??? | 07:15 |
| vamp774 | If you did in fact mess that up you would have to use tools on the LiveCD | 07:15 |
| vamp774 | ( which is how I fixed 7 ) | 07:15 |
| vamp774 | and almost had a heartattack | 07:15 |
| Vink | vamp774, Yes, I used gparted from the LiveCD and deleted everything. | 07:15 |
| TheHumanScience | anybody here familiar with initramfs? | 07:16 |
| Vink | It's installing now. IIRC, the grub error happened towards the end. | 07:17 |
| vamp774 | Aw man that stinks. you have to wait for the entire installation to finish then get an error | 07:17 |
| Vink | Ah, there it is again! | 07:18 |
| vamp774 | ok another idea | 07:18 |
| jalexandru | OnlyMAJ: you should be able to do it for the whole screen to, I checked some forms and in some cases it needed a patch to work on some graphic card ... I don't know in your case how you can fix this but it is caused by your graphic card | 07:18 |

| Vink | schnuffle: no... also, there's a raid thing. | 07:23 |

| vamp774 | I don't know how that would work Vink, it needs it to bootstrap the OS | 07:45 |
| jalexandru | OnlyMAJ: I assume you have php questions :) | 07:45 |
| Gallomimia | that's about all it tells me on the pastebin you sent. i think it's failing to assemble the raid prior to attempting to boot from it. | 07:45 |
| vamp774 | What other options besides RAID? | 07:46 |
| Gallomimia | or attempting to install a bootable OS | 07:46 |
| MonkeyDust | CorruptDropbear try alt-f2 unity --reset | 07:46 |
| vamp774 | You literally cannot do a RAID you have 1 disk | 07:46 |
| Vink | Gallomimia: :( Can anything be done? | 07:46 |

| CorruptDropbear | monkeydust: can't get anything with alt-f2, nothing appears | 07:47 |
| MonkeyDust | CorruptDropbear start from the beginning, what were you doing before you came here | 07:47 |
| Vink | No, no. | 07:47 |
| FallGuy44 | Is there another time of day where this chatroom is more populated? | 07:47 |
| Gallomimia | typically the only reason to raid is for speed, and do you ultimately need that? i think not. unraid the disks and install on one. | 07:47 |
| Vink | Wait, it warns that this may leave my computer unable to boot. | 07:47 |
| Gallomimia | it's already unable to boot. | 07:47 |
| vamp774 | exactly | 07:47 |
| no-n | amixer reports that my sound is mono. how do I make it stereo? | 07:47 |
| Vink | Gallomimia, Sure, but how do I unraid? | 07:47 |
| vamp774 | you can from the CD howveer | 07:47 |
| vamp774 | it means your hard disk | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | Hi Guys, I have a site running with postgres, python, apache, django ... and I want to have a quick and easy install/recovery process other than imaging the server. I would like to script the install of these parts. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the best way to do this? | 07:48 |
| Gallomimia | raids are... finnickey. | 07:48 |
| W4sp | FallGuy44: Encryption can be achived with GPG/GnuPG. | 07:48 |
| CorruptDropbear | First I tried to install Nvidia's latest drivers through the command prompt, turning off X and lightdm, then there was an error with starting x so I had to uninstall Nvidia drivers. | 07:48 |
| CorruptDropbear | Startx now works, but no unity appears. | 07:48 |
| vamp774 | I've installed several versions of ubuntu yet I dont remember it asking me for a RAID setup | 07:48 |
| CorruptDropbear | so I just get a desktop. can open windows | 07:49 |
| FallGuy44 | w4sp: Is that the name of the program? I have Seahorse already... it appears to hold keys but not actually do anything with them. | 07:49 |
| Vink | I never asked to raid. It was just there already. | 07:49 |
| CorruptDropbear | can't move them, that's pretty much it | 07:49 |
| Gallomimia | d1rkp1tt: i would just write a script that installs all the packages you want. the ones you listed pretty much. do some lookups on the ubuntu website of package names which are appropriate, and make very very good and frequent backups of the config files involved. | 07:49 |
| d1rkp1tt | Gallomimia, Thanks, mostly I am just wondering about the question and answer parts for postgres for example | 07:50 |
| d1rkp1tt | Gallomimia, How to tackle those with responses when scripting | 07:50 |
| Vink | OK, Installation type, I select Erase disk and install Ubuntu. | 07:50 |
| OnlyMAJ | mehdi: check your boot drive that is grub installed there ???? | 07:50 |
| Gallomimia | Vink: must be in the BIOS. consider donkeying around with bios settings for awhile. maybe even resetting to factory settings? | 07:50 |
| Vink | Then on Select drive there is only one alternative, which is Raided. | 07:51 |
| Gallomimia | d1rkp1tt: i do believe there are options in scripts to provide answers to those. man apt-get | 07:51 |
| d1rkp1tt | Gallomimia, Thanks for that | 07:51 |
| Gallomimia | as far as i know there's an option to always answer yes, but that's probably not what you want | 07:51 |
| Vink | Gallomimia: BIOS... OK, anything in particular I should look for there? | 07:51 |
| Gallomimia | the scripts to provide root passwords and things like that? yeah maybe that can be scripted. suggest you look for details in the actual postgres package | 07:52 |
| Gallomimia | someone somewhere has scripted that. guaranteed. | 07:52 |
| coraxx | Anybody with IPTABLES knowledge --> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j SNAT --to-source $PUBLIC188 ....is that correct and how do I add a paramter that makes sure only this rules apply to one specific internal ip adress ? | 07:52 |
| d1rkp1tt | Thanks | 07:53 |
| Gallomimia | im also a noob when it comes to ubuntu. still learning, but there's options in dpkg (a part of apt-get) which allow you to re-run config scripts such as for postgres | 07:53 |
| W4sp | FallGuy44: Seahorse is to store keys. Often, those programs are referred to as 'wallet' or 'keyring' and manages keys. Your desire is to encrupt the file. GnuPG, GPG (GPL), PGP (commercial), OpenPGP (a standard) is the choice when it comes to encryption. | 07:53 |
| Gallomimia | so, i'm assuming that those options allow you to specify responses? or... something. | 07:54 |
| Gallomimia | or perhaps the solution lies in making it skip that script, running it manually later, or scripting the setup yourself with canned responses. | 07:54 |

| theadmin | I'm going to be right back, resizing partitions... | 07:56 |
| Vink | vamp774, Yes, trying to find something about raid in BIOS setup. | 07:57 |
| vamp774 | Not to be rude but I am almost certain you will not solve this via BIOS | 07:57 |
| vamp774 | whatever you do do not flash the bios | 07:57 |
| Vink | vamp774, or something about resetting to factory settings. | 07:57 |
| vamp774 | OK so im watching a vid to see what ur looking at | 07:58 |
| Vink | vamp774, OK. Then how do I remove the raid thing? | 07:58 |
| vamp774 | ( havent installed in a few months ) | 07:58 |
| vamp774 | The guy clicks erase and use entire disk | 07:58 |
| vamp774 | I rememeber this | 07:58 |
| Vink | Did that. | 07:58 |
| vamp774 | then he selects the disk | 07:58 |
| Vink | But then it selects raided disk. No other option available. | 07:59 |
| vamp774 | From the drop menu correct? | 07:59 |
| MonkeyDust | OnlyMAJ type /join #php to find out | 07:59 |
| Vink | Only one alternative there, so it's preselected. | 07:59 |
| theadmin | Actually, nevermind, I'm back | 08:00 |
| OnlyMAJ | MonkeyDust: it doesn't work for me !!!! | 08:00 |
| vamp774 | Then you click install now and it fails at the end right? | 08:00 |
| MonkeyDust | OnlyMAJ maybe you have to register in nickserv | 08:00 |

| vamp774 | vink: hmm | 08:02 |
| vamp774 | reading some threads on ubuntu forum | 08:02 |
| vamp774 | if the rest of the OS installed correctly | 08:02 |
| vamp774 | you should probably attempt to install grub manually or somehow fix the corrupter bootloader | 08:03 |
| vamp774 | this is why its not related to your BIOS | 08:03 |
| Vink | So install grub manually, you say? | 08:05 |

| W4sp | monkeyaewtr: You should not log in as root. Instead, use 'sudo <command>'. | 08:12 |

| SpiritusSancti | Okay... I need some assistance with Uninstallation. | 08:21 |
| theadmin | SpiritusSancti: Ubuntu is not a program, you can't "uninstall" it. | 08:21 |
| SpiritusSancti | I find Ubuntu unuseful to my daily use. | 08:21 |

| SpiritusSancti | when i try to delete the partition, it will not let me. | 08:21 |

| SpiritusSancti | I've tried doing so. | 08:22 |
| theadmin | SpiritusSancti: You can't remove it from within Ubuntu, you have to do it from elsewhere. Try removing it from within Windows? | 08:22 |
| SpiritusSancti | However, it wants me to check the System Event Log Viewer, for an error. | 08:22 |
| politron | Hi there | 08:23 |
| politron | somebody with Ubuntu 12.04 and that is using Itellij can help me? I'm trying to put a Oracle JDK version of Java in my JAVA_HOME but with echo JAVA_HOME+Path is not working | 08:24 |
| politron | and the catch is that because I need Install Maven2 and this has dependencies with OpenJDK when I install Maven2 he install and put as main Java version the OpenJDK | 08:24 |
| politron | so bottom line | 08:24 |
| politron | how can I change one version of Java to another one without remove the other one in Ubuntu???? | 08:25 |
| W4sp | politron: This is probably down to where you put the environment variable and whether you use your gnome-terminal as 'login shell'. | 08:25 |
| politron | I put in my .bashrc | 08:25 |
| InstantKrimson | SpiritusSancti: boot with ubuntu live cd/usb-stick, run gparted, remove the linux partition(s), boot back to windows and you should be able to create new NTFS partitions to reclaim the unused space | 08:25 |
| politron | but I'm gonna try to put in envioronmnets file as well | 08:25 |
| theadmin | politron: update-alternatives --set java /path/to/jdk/you/want/to/use | 08:25 |
| SpiritusSancti | Is there a way to do this, WITHOUT putting something on a disk? | 08:26 |
| SpiritusSancti | or will my phone work as a usb substitute? | 08:26 |
| theadmin | SpiritusSancti: Remove the Ubuntu partition from within Windows... | 08:26 |
| theadmin | SpiritusSancti: You do have Windows. | 08:26 |
| SpiritusSancti | I have windows. | 08:26 |
| SpiritusSancti | But it won't let me remove it from within. | 08:27 |
| politron | theadmin, error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_29/ for java not registered, not setting. | 08:27 |
| theadmin | SpiritusSancti: Start -> right-click Computer -> Manage -> Volume management. Use that. | 08:27 |
| theadmin | politron: Okay, try "sudo update-alternatives --config java", it will give you a menu instead | 08:27 |
| geirha | that only sets the jre I think | 08:28 |

| SpiritusSancti | Yeah, that. | 08:28 |

| * W4sp wonders why vi .bashrc | .bash_profile can't be used anymore to set a simple ENV variable. | 08:32 | |
| InstantKrimson | OK, if you still have the "computer management" window open, expand Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System and see if you can get a more detailed error message | 08:32 |
| theadmin | W4sp: It can, surely, but java is complicated. | 08:33 |
| geirha | W4sp: because bash is not involved in the login process (when logging in graphically) | 08:34 |
| Vink | When installing Ubuntu 12.04 from a LiveCD, and getting a Bootloader install failed-error, how do I install grub manually instead? | 08:34 |
| geirha | W4sp: environment variables should be set in ~/.pam_environment or ~/.profile | 08:34 |
| SpiritusSancti | This is what it tells me "The Multimedia Class Scheduler service entered the running state." | 08:35 |
| theadmin | Vink: sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory /path/to/your/linux/drives/mountpoint /dev/sda, make sure /boot is mounted. | 08:35 |
| aymen-12 | bonjour | 08:36 |
| theadmin | Vink: Or you can install "bootrecovery" from APT, it's a graphical tool to manage GRUB | 08:37 |
| Vink | theadmin: I can do that on a LiveCD? Thanks! | 08:37 |
| theadmin | Vink: Sure you can. | 08:37 |
| theadmin | Vink: Oh, pardon me, it's "bootrepair". | 08:38 |
| InstantKrimson | SpiritusSancti: Doesn't sound like the right error message, you should look at some of the other messages | 08:39 |
| InstantKrimson | you should get a cheap 1-2 GB usb stick and use it as a live-"cd" or burn a disk, it will probably be easierto remove the partion(s) that way, rather than troubleshooting Windows | 08:39 |
| SpiritusSancti | is there a way to use my phone, as a usb? | 08:39 |
| SpiritusSancti | that is a 4gb. | 08:40 |

| Vink | Have to go to work now. Thanks for all the support! | 08:40 |
| geirha | SpiritusSancti: It is possible to do it from within Ubuntu itself, but requires using some not-so-friendly cli tools | 08:41 |
| SpiritusSancti | that would work best. | 08:41 |
| geirha | SpiritusSancti: And you'll need a windows cd or recovery partition to overwrite the boot loader afterwards | 08:41 |
| SpiritusSancti | ugh. | 08:41 |
| SpiritusSancti | Is it possible to use my phone? | 08:42 |

| caB00T | Mhm, gdb is for debugging only in this case... :p | 09:42 |
| vamp774 | right | 09:43 |
| me-1 | heisenmink, thank you for link | 09:43 |
| vamp774 | when you compile you need this parameter | 09:43 |
| vamp774 | not with gdb | 09:43 |
| vamp774 | gdb needs it to to be compiled with these "flags " tho | 09:43 |
| vamp774 | My guess is because otherwise it would be easier to dissasemble software you bought | 09:44 |
| caB00T | Mhm, ok... Googling into it... | 09:45 |
| vamp774 | http://www.nasm.us/doc/nasmdoc2.html | 09:45 |
| vamp774 | I would think your book should have some info too. they make you pay $50 asnd throw you at the wolves | 09:46 |
| caB00T | Ye, kinda sux... | 09:47 |
| robocop33 | shucks | 09:51 |
| caB00T | Well, I compiled it in a different format and now I at least see the green triangle, but seems to be passing the breakpoint non the less... | 09:53 |
| vamp774 | make sure you're setting breakpoints properly then if gdb is happy now | 09:54 |
| TheRedMood_ | Hey | 09:54 |
| TheRedMood_ | Just using the ubuntu channel to show some of my classmates irc. | 09:54 |
| TheRedMood_ | Any good words to them? | 09:54 |
| caB00T | Yo yo | 09:54 |
| caB00T | Greetings from Montenegro. p | 09:54 |
| caB00T | :p | 09:54 |
| vamp774 | cant really remember but i think for breakpoints in gdb it is break <line> | 09:54 |
| vamp774 | in c++ i did like break main | 09:54 |
| vamp774 | or something | 09:54 |
| Catfish | hello folks | 09:55 |
| caB00T | In this KDbg is just clicking, like in Visual Studio or w/e. | 09:55 |
| vamp774 | to start at the main program | 09:55 |
| caB00T | Just draws a red circle. | 09:55 |
| vamp774 | Havent used KDbg | 09:55 |
| vamp774 | just DB | 09:55 |
| vamp774 | *GDB. | 09:55 |
| Catfish | do you know of a very very light weight C++ IDE so that I can run my C++ code | 09:55 |
| Catfish | with any bells and whistles | 09:55 |
| vamp774 | GDB was purely command line | 09:56 |
| caB00T | Ye, but this thing is good for assembly to view easily all the register values and what not... | 09:56 |
| caB00T | Either way, if it does not start to work I'll switch to it. | 09:56 |

| nfk | does ubuntu desktop live cd still not support lvm2? | 10:29 |
| hje841 | bekks, thanks I'll have a look | 10:29 |
| W4sp | :-) I meant zip as nothing actually. | 10:29 |
| bekks | nfk: correct. | 10:30 |
| Kihokki | nfk, Form your question again please. You don't make install sense :s | 10:30 |
| compdoc | nfk, it does not use lvm to create install partitions, but its available for creating it by hand. Maybe on the alt cd | 10:30 |
| geirha | viteac_: You generally want to avoid building and installing software from source. You may not be able to uninstall it cleanly. Better to look for a repository with the desired package pre-built. That said, you at least need the build-essential package installed | 10:30 |
| bekks | Kihokki: It perfectly makes sense. | 10:30 |
| hriday_ | Hello everyone. | 10:30 |
| jose__ | Hello | 10:30 |
| bekks | compdoc: The alternate cd is another cd than the desktop live. Thats was the question :) | 10:31 |
| mushin | ok here is my rkhunter.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1160570/ | 10:31 |
| geirha | viteac_: You'll possibly need various -dev packages installed too | 10:31 |
| nfk | Kihokki, i'm currently on fc17 but want to get off that thing but my $HOME is on lvm2 | 10:31 |
| nfk | so i need a distro that has lvm2 | 10:31 |
| compdoc | bekks, gosh yur smart | 10:31 |
| mushin | what worries me most is that it says that sudo was changed at some point.. :S | 10:31 |
| nfk | and as it comes the list of those is awfully short | 10:31 |
| nfk | and from what i recall, ubuntu isn't one of those | 10:32 |
| compdoc | nfk, I use Ubuntu because it doesnt use lvm by default | 10:32 |
| nfk | compdoc, cool, keep doing that | 10:32 |
| compdoc | thanks! | 10:32 |
| viteac_ | geirha yeah I know, however there is not a software I need in repository. BTW I know why could not configure it, I got x86_64 | 10:32 |

| LoonaTick | Hi. I have a partition which got corrupted due to some temporary I/O problems. When I run dumpe2fs it shows there still are a lot of inodes, but it seams the root inode is gone. The error I get: "[ 5536.757977] EXT3-fs (sda1): error: get root inode failed". When I try to repair the disk with fsck it leaves a huge lot of files in /lost+found. Anyone know how to fix my root inode? | 11:06 |
| sahegde | whois adac | 11:07 |
| bekks | LoonaTick: Thats possible only with your backup. | 11:07 |
| LoonaTick | bekks: I have a backup of the entire filesystem, only /var/lib/mysql was left out in the backup. | 11:07 |
| LoonaTick | which is the folder I'm trying to recover. | 11:07 |
| LoonaTick | but it's a filesystem backup, not a block backup. | 11:08 |
| LoonaTick | a file backup*, not a block device backup | 11:08 |
| LoonaTick | so, bekks, I guess that isn't of any use? | 11:09 |
| bekks | LoonaTick: Then most likely you will lose that folder contents. | 11:09 |
| LoonaTick | ok, thanks. And with the remaining of the most likely part you mean I can only recover it by examining stuff in /lost+found? | 11:09 |
| bekks | LoonaTick: Correct. | 11:10 |

| glauco29 | what is the best to install Java RE (virtual machine) on ubuntu 11.04? | 11:53 |
| fff | a good question ?! | 11:54 |
| glauco29 | what is the best way to install Java virtual machine on ubuntu 11.04?*** | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|glauco29: | 11:55 |
| ubottu | glauco29:: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 11:55 |
| jayakrishnan | apt-get install | 11:55 |
| theadmin | glauco29: sudo apt-get install icedtea-6-plugin # Is the way I do it. Technically, that's the browser plugin, but it pulls in the JRE anyway. | 11:55 |
| `4fun` | heya guys, i added a batch file to my rc.local file like this: http://pastebin.com/0R0Ayk9h but it doesnt run at boot like it should be | 11:56 |
| `4fun` | am i doing it wrong? | 11:56 |
| fff | sudo apt-get install "nom du fichier" | 11:56 |
| roasted | hello! | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: the line you added does nothing, it's a folder | 11:57 |
| roasted | Question - does anybody know of a way to actively sync data between two boxes 247? Think rsync, but it doesn't run based on time, or based on keystroke, but instead it just continually runs... 247... think of it like a RAID 1 mirror (sort of), but between two boxes on the LAN. | 11:58 |
| `4fun` | ActionParsnip, hmm how do i add it then? the batch file is called "batch03", i thought thats the right way | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: cron the rsync job to run at regular intervals | 11:58 |
| theadmin | `4fun`: If it's a file, remove the trailing slash | 11:58 |
| theadmin | `4fun`: /usr/ is a folder. /usr is either a file or a folder, depending on a context. | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: then delete the end slash, the script will then run | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: if the script runs forever, rather than firing once, add an ampersand to the end of the line, like so: /home/testuser/scripts/batch03 & | 11:59 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: the idea is to have it active at all times, not so much scheduled. The idea here is to have two linux boxes on a LAN, no external ISP connection, and run video surveillance feeds to those two boxes. That way if mr thief jacks one box, he'll likely not realize there's a 2nd DVR on site. Problem is, cron'ing a job wouldn't fly because if it runs hourly, it'll likely miss the most important window. | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: you don't need a web connection for LAN sync | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: a cron job can run every second if you desire | 12:00 |
| `4fun` | ah let me gie that a try | 12:00 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: I know. I meant if there was a web connection, I would just rsync the data offsite. But since we don't have a web connection, I want to LAN sync it across a 2nd box for a greater chance of retaining the footage even if a box is stolen. | 12:00 |
| llutz_ | ActionParsnip: it cant | 12:00 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: how would the command ever complete itself? I would think it would cancel out the previous job, then begin the new job, therefore negating the previous point of it running. | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz_: well, every minute it can | 12:01 |
| llutz_ | ActionParsnip: true ;) | 12:01 |
| theadmin | Doesn't rsync have a daemon? | 12:01 |
| theadmin | Thought it does. | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: you can use dropbox to sync over LAN | 12:01 |
| llutz_ | !info lsyncd | roasted look there, maybe it helps | 12:01 |
| ubottu | roasted look there, maybe it helps: lsyncd (source: lsyncd): daemon to synchronize local directories using rsync. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4-1 (precise), package size 58 kB, installed size 248 kB | 12:01 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: dropbox... on the LAN? | 12:01 |
| compdoc | theadmin, I think it does to provide a server | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: sure | 12:02 |
| roasted | I don't know if you guys use owncloud, but I'm basically after csync functionality, which is what owncloud's client runs on... | 12:02 |
| roasted | I'm not sure if csync can be ran like a regular command tho. | 12:02 |
| roasted | I wonder if something like unison would fly? | 12:02 |
| llutz_ | !info incron | roasted or this one | 12:02 |
| ubottu | roasted or this one: incron (source: incron): cron-like daemon which handles filesystem events. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.9-5 (precise), package size 109 kB, installed size 368 kB | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: why not just make a file share and have it accessible as a single point, rather than syncing it? | 12:04 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: the idea is to have two identical boxes on the LAN, so if one gets stolen by a thief, the video feeds still exist elsewhere. | 12:04 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: otherwise I would just share it out via samba, like I do at home with my own personal surveillance setup. | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ahh, then the timelyness isn't really critical, its just a backup | 12:05 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: but actually, it is. Think about it. If a thief breaks in and within 3-5 minutes finds the DVR and steals it, I'm counting on those specific 3-5 minutes of his entrance to be on box B | 12:05 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: if it's not an active sync, or an hourly sync or whatever, I could easily miss out on that time frame. | 12:05 |
| roasted | I'm looking into unison right now. It looks like it may fly... not sure yet... | 12:06 |
| `4fun` | that worked great | 12:06 |
| `4fun` | just one little thing | 12:06 |
| jrib | roasted: unison is more appropriate for a two-way sync imo | 12:07 |
| new2net | How can I perform security updates from my console on 12.04? "87 packages can be updated." , "22 updates are security updates." | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | new2net: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:07 |
| hateball | new2net: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:07 |
| hateball | :D | 12:07 |
| roasted | jrib: I remember looking at Unison for a backup solution and I realized it wasn't what I was after (this was for a regular home backup), but now that I read more into it, it looks more like it in this particular scenario. | 12:07 |
| new2net | ActionParsnip, hateball, oh. I did the apt-get update, but not the "upgrade". I see, thank you | 12:08 |
| hateball | new2net: update will only check for new things, not install them | 12:09 |
| compdoc | new2net, theres an option to have apt install security updates automatically. Not sure if you can do that manually | 12:09 |
| `4fun` | ActionParsnip, i have part of the patch that adds a text to ipv6-status text file to confirm the script ran fine, it works if i run it manualy | 12:09 |
| `4fun` | but it doesnt work when it runs at boot | 12:09 |
| `4fun` | or does it put it in the root directory? | 12:09 |
| `4fun` | root user direcory i mean | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: did you add the absolute path of the file to update? | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: yes, it runs as root, so if you use ~ then that will be /root not /home/username | 12:10 |
| roasted | jrib: only question I would have about unison... is can it run continuously 247... | 12:10 |
| jrib | roasted: no | 12:10 |
| roasted | jrib: and the hunt continues. :( | 12:10 |
| jrib | roasted: well I mean it won't be any different than what you would do with rsync | 12:11 |
| roasted | jrib: :( | 12:11 |
| roasted | jrib: think about rsync, but with the capability of recognizing that you just created a text file, and within seconds that text file is already on the 2nd server. | 12:11 |
| `4fun` | ActionParsnip, yes, the batch worked fine at boot, but this part didnt: echo IPv6 has been added at $(date) >> /home/testuser/ipv6-status | 12:11 |
| roasted | jrib: that's what I'm after. exactly that. :( | 12:11 |
| jrib | roasted: well my naive solution would be to use rsync and incron | 12:11 |
| roasted | jrib: what exactly is incron? Even when installed there's no man entry for it. | 12:12 |
| jrib | roasted: incron lets you execute programs based on filesystem events | 12:12 |
| glauco29 | I am using 11.04, Can I upgrade to 12.04 without lose data? | 12:12 |
| roasted | jrib: oh, and creating a text file would = filesystem event... I would think... | 12:13 |
| jrib | roasted: like cron but for filesystem events | 12:13 |
| jrib | roasted: sure | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: sure, as you will have made backups of data you don't want to lose | 12:13 |
| MonkeyDust | glauco29 yes, if you a backup or a separate /home | 12:13 |
| jrib | roasted: if you're only making changes on one side, I would use rsync. If both sides can change, I would use unison | 12:13 |
| llutz_ | !info drbd | roasted another idea | 12:13 |
| ubottu | roasted another idea: Package drbd does not exist in precise | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: instead, try: echo "IPv6 has been added at $(date)" | tee -a /home/testuser/ipv6-status | 12:13 |
| llutz_ | bad idea :( | 12:14 |
| roasted | jrib: both sides won't be changing. there will still be a primary and secondary (primary being the one written to). I just want the secondary to be within seconds of accuracy to being identicle to the primary box. | 12:14 |
| roasted | jrib: fyi its "incrontab" for searching the man page... in case you're curious. | 12:14 |
| jrib | roasted: http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/gems/lsync/index says "real-time synchronisation" on there; never used it myself | 12:15 |
| glauco29 | Sorry, I told wrong | 12:15 |
| jrib | roasted: you'll also want to take a look at the "inotify" man page if you go the incron route | 12:15 |
| glauco29 | I want keep my programs, for ie: Ruby, Mysql and Rails installed ActionParsnip MonkeyDust | 12:16 |
| `4fun` | ActionParsnip, thanks alot dude, that did it! | 12:16 |
| jrib | roasted: and my guess is you may have some issue if multiple rsync process spawn at the same time (a new one spawns before the last one is finished) but I'm not sure | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: for adding to files I suggest you use tee rather than >>. its a bit beater | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | *neater | 12:16 |
| roasted | jrib: agreed... hence my slight disinterest in going the traditional rsync route. | 12:16 |
| crueger | Hi | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: You can upgrade but it will take a long time and take a lot of data, | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !clone | glauco29 | 12:17 |
| ubottu | glauco29: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 12:17 |
| crueger | I am looking for good ways to speed up the boot process for ubuntu... | 12:17 |
| jrib | roasted: I would just check if a rsync process spawned by the script is already running and if it is, do nothing | 12:17 |

| MonkeyDust | crueger don't use eye candy (compiz) -- don't use a network manager | 12:18 |

| SiD_ | if i try to enable the second screen while not mirrored... the pastebin show what happen | 12:19 |
| SiD_ | any1 can help with that? | 12:19 |
| glauco29 | The recommended is that I install again from sketch ActionParsnip | 12:19 |
| glauco29 | ? | 12:19 |
| crueger | Unfortunately the system is not running right now (I am using the board for some other tests currently), so I cannot check the output of lsb_release | 12:19 |
| jrib | roasted: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/63145-rsync-script-cron-stepping-itself.html there's some discussion about that here. Even though it's with crontab, the same solution should work | 12:20 |

| ActionParsnip | crueger: what is the output of the command I gave please | 12:20 |
| roasted | jrib: thanks! | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: I would, it'll give a cleaner OS | 12:20 |
| roasted | jrib: your "check if running" idea is a good thought too | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | put them in the fstab if you want. | 12:20 |
| crueger | ActionParsnip: Unfortunaltely the system is currently doing some other tests, so I cannot test the output.. I'll reboot the board and then check | 12:21 |
| roasted | jrib: I'm just not sure how I would set that to run as frequently as I need. Can you set a script to run every minute in cron? | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | crueger: you can open another terminal | 12:21 |
| crueger | Not if the board is not running ubuntu currently... | 12:21 |
| jrib | roasted: you could do it every minute I guess with regular cron. Or you could do it after every relevant filesystem event using incron | 12:21 |
| glauco29 | do you think that 12.04 LTS is worth to upgrade from sketch (LTS is a great new no)? | 12:22 |
| crueger | ActionParsnip: It's not for the computer I am working on, but an embedded device (which I need to reboot now) | 12:22 |
| roasted | jrib: I'm still looking into incron. Incron doesn't seem to let me edit the file.. even as root... | 12:22 |
| jrib | glauco29: what is "sketch"? | 12:22 |
| roasted | jrib: might be old instructions though | 12:22 |
| jrib | roasted: read /usr/share/doc/incron/README.Debian | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: its supported til 2017, so you won't have to upgrade again for a long time :) | 12:22 |
| glauco29 | from ground up | 12:22 |
| glauco29 | jrib | 12:23 |
| crueger | ok, reboot in progress | 12:23 |
| jrib | glauco29: you mean "scratch"? | 12:23 |
| InstantKrimson | sounds right... | 12:23 |
| crueger | ActionParsnip: It's running precise, but based on ubuntu core | 12:23 |
| glauco29 | yeah jrib, my english is bad rs sorry | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | crueger: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 may help | 12:24 |
| crueger | ActionParsnip: So lsb_release -sc just prints "precise" | 12:24 |

| kbroulik | what do I have to watch out for when installing Ubuntu on a notebook with UEFI and GPT? | 12:24 |

| llutz_ | roasted: just have a look, drbd sounds exactly as what you want to me http://goo.gl/QgnMV | 12:26 |
| jrib | glauco29: 11.04's support will run out in october of this year, so if you've just installed it and are considering upgrading to 12.04, I would highly recommend it (then you'll have support for 5 years) | 12:26 |

| crueger | What would be more interesting would be some way to remove stuff from the ramdisk... I exactly know the hardware on which the system will be run and I would not object to complaining my kernel | 12:31 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| `4fun` | ActionParsnip, just one last question, where do you think is the best location to put the batch file in? | 12:31 |
| crueger | When measuring, the system takes most time, before the ramdisk could do it's thing, and it would be great if we could get rid of that | 12:31 |
| crueger | argh, meant to say "compiling my kernel" not "complaining my kernel" | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | `4fun`: wherever you want, there is no best. I like to make ~/.bin and add it to PATH and use that for my user scripts. Its not best, just how I do it | 12:32 |
| Kasir | What's up peeps, I making a bootable usb with Ubuntu using UNetbootin and I'm comfused what to choose from the dropdown next to distrubution, help please | 12:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Kasir: look down, there is an option for ISO. The dropdown for distro you can ignore | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kasir: be sure to MD5 test the ISO first | 12:34 |
| hateball | alek66: Did you add them after install, or are they perhaps using NTFS? | 12:34 |
| alek66 | hateball: they were at installation, both ext4 | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | Kasir: what actionparsnip said. 15 seconds of diligence will save hours of frustration | 12:35 |
| Kasir | @ActionParsnip this is the biggist space between to radio I've ever seen :P, how to make the md5 test?? | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | 12:36 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 12:36 |
| hateball | alek66: well unless you specified a mountpoint during install, they wont get one. you can use "sudo blkid" so get their UUIDs, then adjust fstab as you see fit | 12:36 |
| Kasir | @ubottu, thanks I'll check it | 12:37 |

| mobodo | what am I supposed to use in Ubuntu to configure my network? the network tool tells me it is not compatible with this version… :( | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: what network chip do you use? | 12:40 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: Realtek RTL8111/8168B Ethernet controller | 12:41 |
| hateball | alek66: Well if they are removable drives it's probably not a great idea adding them to fstab | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: let me search, what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 12:41 |
| alek66 | hateball: both hard disks, one sata one ata | 12:42 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: "precise" | 12:42 |
| jalexandru | how can I know if I have pecl zip installed? | 12:42 |
| alek66 | hateball: by doing this how do i get rid of the "click n mount" i just want one thing to | 12:42 |
| alek66 | mount | 12:42 |
| hateball | alek66: Afraid I'm not familiar with that in Ubuntu (as I run Kubuntu) but there might be an option for "removable" drives to be automatically mounted, without having to edit fstab | 12:43 |
| hateball | alek66: I'm sure if you stick around someone else might know :) | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022411 looks like you'll need to compile the driver | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: if the system is a desktop, i'd just spend 5 quid and grab a cheap realtek thing which will work out of the box | 12:44 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: well, I can get it to work manually, it's just that for some reason the config resets everytime I reboot | 12:45 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: and I was wondering why the network tools told me it was not compatible, you're sure it'd be a driver problem? | 12:45 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: I mean, ifconfig eth1 up works fine | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: ah, then how are you configuring it | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: add the command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, it will run at boot. It's not a driver issue clearly | 12:46 |
| alek66 | hateball: they are not remomable disks.... perhaps someone later can help me, thanks :) have a good one. | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: did you configure IP addressing in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 12:46 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: right now I use the /etc/network/interfaces file that I edit by hand, then ifconfig eth1 up, but I'm confused by all the tools on Ubuntu for networking, I think some of them overwrite my settings | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: do you have the line: auto eth1 in the file? | 12:47 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: no, it's set to static ip | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: you still need: auto eth1 so it comes UP automatically | 12:48 |
| llutz_ | mobodo:read " man 5 interfaces" | 12:48 |
| hateball | alek66: Yes I understood they are not removable. But I also understood it as you didnt want to risk messing up fstab | 12:48 |
| mobodo | ActionParsnip: ahh, ok! | 12:49 |
| mobodo | so ifup != ifconfig up? | 12:50 |
| llutz_ | mobodo: correct | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mobodo: add the line and reboot to test | 12:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Plumblum: can you telnet to the FTP socket? | 12:53 |
| alek66 | hateball: thanks man | 12:54 |
| Plumblum | ActionParsnip, im a beginner at this, although i have setup other ftp servers before | 12:54 |
| Plumblum | but could you say that in simpler english | 12:54 |
| mobodo | llutz_, ActionParsnip: Any idea why when running /etc/init.d/networking restart I would lose the connection again? that seems to the be what disables my connection whenever I reboot. Typing ifup eth1 makes it work again. | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Plumblum: IP address + port number = socket | 12:54 |
| sebersole | ActionParsnip: so just keep trying the steps? | 12:54 |
| Plumblum | ah well gimme a sec | 12:55 |
| sebersole | i can get to the url inbrowser just fine | 12:55 |
| sebersole | not sure what that means in terms of apt though | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:57 |
| Plumblum | when using telnet to same ip and port | 12:58 |
| Plumblum | connection refused | 12:58 |
| Plumblum | oh sorry wrong portnumber | 12:58 |
| Plumblum | it connects just fine | 12:59 |
| Plumblum | i guess he leaved | 13:00 |
| Plumblum | anyone else ? | 13:00 |
| Plumblum | i dont see why my ftp username would be different from the ssl one | 13:00 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: what's the problem? | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | neither for the password | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | well same acc for ssl and ftp | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | local users are allowed in the config | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | i can login fine with ssl | 13:01 |
| tehnef | you mean ssh | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | but i get 503 login incorrect with my ftp client | 13:01 |
| tehnef | what ftp daemon are you using? | 13:01 |
| Plumblum | vsftpd | 13:02 |
| tehnef | did you turn anonymous off? | 13:02 |
| tehnef | it seems to be on by default | 13:03 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: local_enable=true is set? | 13:03 |
| Plumblum | tehnef, yep i didnt uncomment it, just set it to NO | 13:03 |
| Plumblum | and local_enable=YES | 13:03 |
| Plumblum | is it supposed to be true ? | 13:03 |
| Plumblum | not sure if it matters | 13:03 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: "yes" is fine | 13:04 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: btw you might want to revisit turning on FTP at all. | 13:04 |
| Plumblum | if i set it the other way around i can log on as anon just fine, not sure why my pass on the ftp woudl be different from the ssh one | 13:05 |
| Plumblum | tehnef, could you explain that :) ? | 13:05 |
| MatBoy | I'm building a loadbalanced Postfix cluster and I wonder with what kind of protocol I shall conect to my storag node, NFS or iSCSI | 13:05 |
| MatBoy | *storage | 13:05 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: "check if using sftp instead of ftp would be an option" | 13:06 |
| Kasir | guys what to put in space used to preserve files across reboots field when making a bootable iso using UNetBootin ??? | 13:06 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: FTP all by itself is pretty insecure, freaks out on firewall/NAT, and you can generally get what you need done via SFTP, which is really just SSH | 13:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | Mornin' BluesKaj . Hope all is well. :) | 13:07 |
| tehnef | MatBoy: if your storage and traffic are on the same network, NFS is your best choice | 13:07 |
| Plumblum | llutz, sftp would indeed be ok, but since this is my first time setting up an ubuntu server i thought i should start small, im already happy with getting everything else setup. only thing left is transfering files to/from the server so sftp or ftp does not really matter | 13:08 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: well, ftp without need is always a bad choice | 13:08 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: if ssh is enabled, SFTP is too | 13:08 |
| MoTec | about to setup a new vm running ubuntu to make an externally accessible ftp server where the ftp home folders are on a windows server... wish me luck :) | 13:08 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: meaning you don't have to do any more work | 13:08 |
| Plumblum | ehm i have to admit i didnt think of that | 13:09 |
| Plumblum | guess i only need to figure out how to use it then | 13:10 |
| tehnef | it's cool, we all start somewhere Plumblum ;) | 13:10 |
| tehnef | usually at the beginning :P | 13:10 |
| MoTec | Plumblum: just get WinSCP3 | 13:10 |
| tehnef | or filezilla | 13:10 |
| llutz_ | or lftp | 13:10 |
| Plumblum | tehnef, depends on who you are talking to ;) the ppl in here really differs in how they help ^^ | 13:10 |
| Plumblum | how do i remove a program and all its config files etc ? | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | hey Sidewinder1 yes , I'm fine thanks , how about you ? | 13:11 |
| Plumblum | last time i didnt have succes with apt-get remove | 13:11 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: sudo apt-get purge vsftpd | 13:11 |
| Plumblum | ah | 13:11 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: when you've seen how some people "ask" for help, not to mention the same problem again and again...sometimes the helpers can be testy | 13:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | A-OK, so far; but it's early yet,. | 13:11 |
| Plumblum | tehnef, i totally agree :) | 13:11 |
| tehnef | Plumblum: 'apt-get purge vsftpd' will get rid of it | 13:11 |

| sebersole | anyone know whether the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle are still accurate? | 13:15 |

| Plumblum | huh | 13:17 |
| Plumblum | this was indeed easy | 13:17 |
| Plumblum | well im guess i can transfer thoose files now | 13:17 |
| Kasir | guys what to put in space used to preserve files across reboots field when making a bootable iso using UNetBootin ??? | 13:18 |
| Plumblum | Kasir, i just assumed thats spaced you can use to as it says preserve files acress reboots | 13:19 |
| Plumblum | so i would put in as much space as i thought i would need | 13:19 |
| vaio | anyone using a VAIO laptop? | 13:21 |
| Kasir | @plumblum What is that space used for and how to calculate how much space I need? | 13:21 |
| |Slacker| | this is silly I can't just find the executable name of transmission in ubuntu 12.04 | 13:21 |
| |Slacker| | just did a find and got nothing | 13:22 |
| Plumblum | Kasir, i honestly have no idea, im guessin files stored there would be if you were to install programs and such when you are booting from your usb key, so if you are going to just boot and play around, i would put 0 if you are going to boot play around and then install on the hdd i would still put 0 but if you are going to use it i would say 1GB or so depends on what you are going to do | 13:22 |
| Pici | |Slacker|: transmission-gtk | 13:22 |
| Plumblum | but i have noticed that the most programs (so far) are quite small | 13:23 |
| vaio | can anyone help with some problems with ubuntu in a vaio laptop? | 13:23 |
| Plumblum | so a couple of MB's would be enough | 13:23 |
| |Slacker| | Pici, THANKS | 13:23 |
| |Slacker| | oops | 13:23 |
| Pici | np | 13:23 |
| Plumblum | vaio, what problems on a vaio laptop ?, im a newb so i might not be able to help | 13:24 |
| Plumblum | i dont think i have ever faild to boot ubuntu though ^^ | 13:24 |
| Plumblum | so theres still hope | 13:24 |
| |Slacker| | Pici, weird...it wasn`t installed in my system :p | 13:24 |
| vaio | well... just want to make lid actions work | 13:24 |
| vaio | they just don't | 13:24 |
| Plumblum | huh | 13:24 |
| Plumblum | have never experienced that or had any problems with it so :P | 13:25 |
| MatBoy | tehnef, thanks! Shall I connect the NFS servers to ISCSI storage direcly or store it "internally" ? | 13:25 |
| vaio | i've tried the gui programs... system settings, power options, g/dconf-editor... all seems fine, but lid actions do not work | 13:25 |

| vaio | i am talking about the option that suspends the laptop when you close the lid , Plumblum | 13:29 |
| Plumblum | vaio, yep i got that, since im not sure how the computer "feels" how the lid is closed, and you said you have set everything as you wanted it | 13:30 |

| llutz_ | Plumblum: chown -R user:www-data /var/www don't allow root to ssh (which shouldnt work on *buntu by default) | 13:30 |

| danny | is there a place i can find the kde icon theme i love it but i like the ui in traditional ubuntu | 13:32 |
| Plumblum | llutz, always appriciated :) but thats not what i was going to ask, when necessary i use sudo, to execute cmds wich my user dont have perms for | 13:32 |
| vaio | Yes, and it doesn't work... it used to work with old versions of ubuntu... which i have to admitt, were a helluvalot better than 12.04... | 13:32 |
| Plumblum | is that like enabling root | 13:32 |
| Plumblum | i dont get the difference, since i dont login as root just as my user | 13:32 |
| slowe | Hello all, anyone run into an issue installing 12.04 LTS on a server using an LSI Logic SAS1068E RAID controller? It installs fine, but won't boot--reports "no boot device" found. | 13:32 |
| auronandace | Plumblum: sudo is the right way to do it | 13:33 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: " permitrootlogin is | 13:33 |
| Plumblum | auronandace, yes i have been told so, but is there really a difference between logging in as root and doing sudo ? thats what im trying to find out | 13:33 |
| llutz_ | oops, ".. set to yes" thats what i was referencing. it should be "no" or forced-commands-only | 13:33 |
| Plumblum | llutz, can i disable that and still use sudo ? | 13:34 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: and yes, sudo is fine | 13:34 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: ssh has nothing to do with sudo, so yes | 13:34 |
| vaio | any ideas? anyone? | 13:34 |
| auronandace | Plumblum: logging in as root would use the settings of root, believe me, you don't want everything running with root settings | 13:34 |
| Plumblum | well i guess i have to take your word on it :) | 13:35 |
| vaio | any linux experts around? :lol: | 13:35 |
| auronandace | Plumblum: using sudo uses your user's settings with root's permissions | 13:35 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: PermitRootLogin just controls ssh-access for root (which would need an enabled root-account). it has no sideeffects on your normal user or sudo | 13:37 |
| Plumblum | llutz, that line you wrote above, shouldnt i give my user -w ? since i think i got -r already :) ? | 13:37 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: +w you mean? the dir should be 755 already, so no | 13:38 |
| Plumblum | llutz, yes i see that now, and the line as already been changed ^^ | 13:38 |
| ix_ | do you have any idea how can I test the native pdf in firefox 15 beta? I'm using it right now | 13:40 |

| Plumblum | llutz, isnt R read and W write ? i wasnt allowed to make a new dirr before but i am now, did i remove read with -R ? | 13:40 |
| llutz_ | !permissions | Plumblum | 13:41 |
| ubottu | Plumblum: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 13:41 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: chown -R is "recursive" not -read | 13:41 |
| slowe | If anyone has any experience/information trying to install 12.04 on a server with an LSI Logic SAS1068E RAID card, I'd appreciate it. Installs fine, sees the RAID mirrors, but then fails to boot afterward with "no boot device found". Any suggestions? | 13:41 |
| vaio | ubottu, i came here because all the googling in two days only turned gibberish... and believe me, whatever was posted as "working", i have tried... but nothing changed | 13:41 |

| Plumblum | im gonna read it over in full this time | 13:41 |
| llutz_ | Plumblum: chown and chmod are two different things, chmod -R = recursive, chmod -r = remove-read-access (R uppercase != lowercase ) | 13:42 |

| slowe | I'm having some issues with 12.04 and SAS1068E RAID controller...any suggestions? Ubuntu installs fine, but won't boot up afterward, reports "no boot device found". | 13:49 |
| vaio | slowe, you must have installed grub on the wrong path/device | 13:50 |
| compdoc | slowe, if you boot the cd or whatever, can it see the drives or controller? | 13:50 |
| slowe | vaio: Wouldn't GRUB go on /dev/sda1? | 13:50 |
| vaio | not neccessarily slowe | 13:50 |
| slowe | compdoc: Yes, it can see the RAID mirrors fine. Installs without any complaints, just won't boot afterward. | 13:51 |
| vaio | did you chose the "something else" in the installation menu? | 13:51 |
| slowe | vaio: Hmm...OK. On what other device should I consider installing GRUB, then? | 13:51 |
| vaio | there you choose the partition and select what you want to do with it, like format, etc... and then on the boot options you should select the path (drop down menu) and you should select the path "/" | 13:52 |
| vaio | so grub can be installed on the first sector of the disk | 13:52 |
| esolyt | does anyone know how can i stop smplayer from exiting fullscren when the video ends? | 13:53 |
| slowe | vaio: The installer asked about installing GRUB into the MBR, to which I responded yes. Shouldn't that take care of it? | 13:53 |
| vaio | i suppose it should... | 13:53 |
| llutz_ | esolyt: mplayer -idle | 13:53 |
| Shadow` | okay, i added some entries to iptables, restarted networking and all i get now " | 13:54 |
| vaio | are you logged into the system you want to rescue? | 13:54 |
| jeypestylerz | why is so hard to install any programm in Ubuntu? >.< | 13:54 |
| compdoc | slowe, what size is the volume? | 13:54 |
| Shadow` | is "networking stop/waiting" but the added entries arent working :/ | 13:54 |
| vaio | i mean, where are you speaking from now | 13:54 |
| slowe | vaio: No, it's in the data center and I'm in my office. | 13:54 |
| jeypestylerz | software center... I love u | 13:55 |
| jeypestylerz | xD | 13:55 |
| slowe | compdoc: The two RAID mirrors that are presented up to Linux are roughly 158GB in size (made up of a pair of 160GB drives). | 13:55 |
| vaio | i think it would be best if you had the computer close to you | 13:55 |
| slowe | vaio: Agreed, but sometimes that isn't possible. :-) | 13:55 |
| jeypestylerz | xD yeah | 13:55 |
| compdoc | slowe, so its not a size issue. are there any other drives installed that grub might have written to? | 13:55 |
| slowe | compdoc: The only drives the installer recognizes are the two RAID mirrors, both of which are identical. Booting into rescue mode from the installer CD and running "fdisk -l" shows that /dev/sda has partitions, but /dev/sdb does not. That leads me to believe that everything should have been written to the first RAID mirror. | 13:57 |
| jeypestylerz | I'm not a fucking noob.. I know C/C++ and "shell lenguaje" but I prefer to do everything easy (if it can be easy) | 13:57 |
| Shadow` | friggin ubuntu, always got crap like this, jesus | 13:57 |
| vaio | yeah, but it would be handy | 13:57 |
| jeypestylerz | It's logic | 13:57 |
| esolyt | llutz: no thats not exactly what i want. that basically freezes it. i cant seek or do anything. i have press stop and when i do smplayer instantly exits fullscren. | 13:57 |
| esolyt | smplayer is the one exiting fullscreen, the solution should be on the smplayer side | 13:57 |
| Shadow` | how on earth can "iptables -A INPUT <IP> -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" MAKE THE WHOLE FUCKING SERVER UNREACHABLE | 13:58 |
| slowe | vaio: Agreed. Even if you just have some suggested commands that I can run to try to ascertain what's going on, that would be helpful (even though I can't run them "live" and report results). | 13:58 |

| compdoc | slowe, google says this: was simply to add "rootdelay=90" to the kernel command in the Grub menu. It simply wasn't waiting long enough for the RAID controller to initialize. | 14:00 |
| jeypestylerz | deep web motherfuckers.... sssh don't be silly! | 14:00 |

| slowe | vaio: I'll have a look at that thread, but I'm doubtful it's a GRUB issue, since it doesn't even seem to get to that point. (Certainly could be wrong, though--wouldn't be the first time!) | 14:02 |

| Jotek | Hello everybody! Which system is faster? Xubuntu or Lubuntu? | 14:26 |
| WeeJay | #sadpacket good morning | 14:26 |
| lotuspsychje_ | Jotek:lubuntu is more lightweight | 14:26 |
| designbybeck | Jotek: I've just played with both and I'd recommend Xubuntu | 14:27 |
| lotuspsychje_ | Jotek:but there are even more lightweighter systems then lubuntu | 14:27 |
| Jotek | lotuspsychje_: i noticed that xubuntu is litle more faster | 14:27 |
| designbybeck | but yes, like lotuspsychje_ said Jotek Lubuntu is lighter, but I didn't seem much difference overall on speed | 14:27 |
| Jotek | is this possible, guys, to xubuntu work better?7 | 14:27 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jotek:all depends on the system of course | 14:27 |
| compdoc | gyre007, what are you doing with the script? | 14:28 |
| lotuspsychje_ | Jotek:it all depends on system and your needs mate | 14:29 |

| gyre007 | compdoc, uif I want to provision 10 VMs without any supervision and go for a coffee :) | 14:29 |
| Jotek | lotuspsychje_: i am running on pc (x86) and just want a fast system | 14:29 |
| mneptok | Jotek: "better" is a subjective thing. both Xubuntu and Lubuntu have Live disc images. try both. | 14:30 |
| compdoc | Vlan, what vnc server and what client | 14:30 |
| Vlan | compdoc: server: winXP, host 12.04 | 14:30 |
| Vlan | Ultra VNC viewer | 14:31 |
| Vlan | if i enter VM hosts there are no those issues | 14:31 |
| jano_ | can somebody tell me why computer doesnt start to OS after chosen the value in GRUB menu? could this be reported in logs?? | 14:31 |
| Vlan | even tho the install and the settings were the same | 14:32 |
| lotuspsychje_ | Jotek:like mneptok says, the fastest one for your system wins | 14:32 |
| compdoc | gyre007, using virt-manager, you can set up the vm as you like it, then using virsh export the config to an easy to edit xml file. once you have the file you can create new vmc all you want. just need to manage the names and mac addresses | 14:32 |
| compdoc | *vm's | 14:32 |
| Jotek | lotuspsychje_: so I have to try both of them again :P thanks | 14:32 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jano_:if you got dualboot with win7, you might wanna try sudo update grub | 14:33 |
| lotuspsychje_ | Jotek:its hard to say from here wich one will run smoother for your system and needs | 14:33 |
| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, I tried sudo update grub, but it didnt help, only win7 starts... | 14:34 |
| gyre007 | via vmbuilder I dont have to deal with MAC addresses... | 14:34 |
| Vlan | compdoc: i've been told that i have to disable some graphic settings, but i don't understand why it's working just fine inside VM machines of that server | 14:34 |

| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, I ve chosen grub installed on usb key | 14:34 |
| gyre007 | at least up until now I didnt have to... | 14:34 |
| gyre007 | not sure how to export stuff to XML or whatever you're saying but it sure sounds cool | 14:34 |
| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, grub starts, but linux starts only sometimes, so I must restart it twice or so | 14:34 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jano_:what happens when choosing ubuntu? | 14:34 |
| compdoc | Vlan, I use vnc4server on the host, and have used ultravnc or realvnc client without issues | 14:35 |
| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, black screen with cursor blinking | 14:35 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jano_:maybe its trying to boot something from the stick instead of the actual hd? | 14:36 |
| luftikuss | /var/log/dpkg.log shows the last row as: "2012-08-22 15:03:59 status not-installed linux-source-3.2.0 <none>," What does here mean »none«? | 14:36 |
| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, it is /dev/sda1 value chosen, so I think it should accept sda1 with ubuntu | 14:36 |
| lotuspsychje_ | jano_:maybe you could try to fix ubuntu with the livecd? | 14:37 |
| jano_ | lotuspsychje_, thanks I ll try it | 14:37 |

| Vlan | compdoc: now i'll try that | 14:43 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, im looking into what you mentioned... | 14:45 |
| compdoc | gyre007, the virsh command is dumpxml | 14:46 |
| gyre007 | let me see | 14:49 |
| gyre007 | su basically...you dump the xml...and what do you next ? | 14:49 |
| mohanohi | hi.. | 14:49 |
| gyre007 | I mean if you are going to provision a new VM | 14:49 |
| mohanohi | is it possible to run a program imposing limited ram? | 14:49 |
| mohanohi | i mean to limit a program to use only 500mb of ram | 14:50 |
| compdoc | gyre007, edit the xml and see how its laid out. make changes and then create vms with it | 14:50 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, but how :) | 14:50 |
| luftikuss | mohanohi: Nor exactly your target, but please get to know the NICE parameter. | 14:51 |
| gyre007 | that's the question im asking.... | 14:51 |
| compdoc | virsh create /tmp/foo_new.xml | 14:51 |
| gyre007 | with vmbuilder I basically run it and it downloads all packages of the OS im building automatically from particular repo | 14:51 |
| gyre007 | I see | 14:51 |
| mohanohi | luftikuss : ok.. i will try to learn that first :) thank you for the reply.. | 14:51 |
| compdoc | gyre007, oh, you want to install the os each time? | 14:52 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, and how do you handle the MAC address problem then ? | 14:52 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, well...initially I wanted to... | 14:52 |
| gyre007 | :) | 14:52 |
| compdoc | its easy to generate new macs | 14:52 |
| gyre007 | but I guess there's an easier way to do this | 14:52 |
| compdoc | you'll face that problem no matter how you create a vm - two VMs cannot have the same mac | 14:53 |
| vaio | having some problems with laptop lid actions, vaio sz/ubuntu 12.04... any ideas, anyone? | 14:53 |
| gyre007 | when I used vmbuilder it somehow randomizes it... | 14:53 |
| luftikuss | vaio: Get informed about pm-utils | 14:53 |
| compdoc | prolly so | 14:53 |
| mneptok | vaio: how much swap space do you have, and how much physical memory? | 14:54 |
| Vlan | compdoc: I got it: those VNC artefacts are due to some graphic settings enabled on the host. do you know how can i disable fancy graphic under 12.04? | 14:54 |
| vaio | luftikuss... why don't you just slag me off? | 14:54 |
| gyre007 | so how does this work...you call virsh created template.xml and it generates new VM from where ? | 14:54 |
| compdoc | gyre007, creating a vm and installing the OS each time from scratch is going to take lots of time and cpu use | 14:54 |
| vaio | mneptok, 2GB | 14:54 |
| gyre007 | im a virtualization N00B | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | guys, after a fresh intall, i can no longer login in ubuntu, it always fall back to the lightdm screen -- i'm in windows now -- hints & tips? grub or bios setting or so? | 14:55 |
| mneptok | vaio: 2GB for both? | 14:55 |
| compdoc | Vlan, try unity 2d | 14:55 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, yeah I know...thats why im looking into what you are saying :) | 14:55 |
| luftikuss | vaio: '~$ dict 'slag off'; No definitions found for "slag off".' | 14:55 |
| vaio | 2 gb swap, 18GB physical... 2gb ram, 2.4GHz | 14:56 |
| Vlan | compdoc: did you have to do that with vnc4server or it does support 3D? | 14:56 |
| compdoc | gyre007, create one image with the OS, and clone it all you want. the xml file will define names and macs, so the image does what you want | 14:56 |
| compdoc | Vlan, I think its done with the xstartup file in the .vnc folder | 14:57 |
| mneptok | vaio: suspending a machine will almost certainly require >1.1*RAM. you have to flush RAM when suspending. also, suspend and hibernate support varies widely depending on how an OEM implemented it. | 14:57 |
| mohanohi | luftikuss : does nice command limits the usage of ram of the particular software? | 14:57 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, now the question is how do I create an OS image...can I use virsh for that too ? I mean...now that I have one VM running...i should be able to generate image from that I guess... | 14:57 |
| luftikuss | mohanohi: Yes. | 14:58 |
| mneptok | vaio: IOW, 2GB swap for 2GB RAM may not be enough. and it may not work at all. | 14:58 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: no | 14:58 |
| compdoc | gyre007, the image is a file that can be copied if the vm is shutdown. but you can also clone the OS within the vm using clonezilla, or a program like that | 14:58 |
| vaio | mneptok, my RAM is 2GB... while flushing the RAM rings no bells to me... | 14:58 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: was wondering.. :( | 14:58 |
| compdoc | Vlan, I can show you my xstartup file | 14:59 |
| mneptok | mohanohi: the kernel can do memory allocation far better than us. :) | 14:59 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: "ulimit" might do what you need | 14:59 |
| W4sp | win 3 | 14:59 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: i want to limit the amount of ram used for a particular software. Can you please tell? | 14:59 |
| vaio | i never new that they are as important | 14:59 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: oh.. | 14:59 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: ok.. i will give a try | 14:59 |
| luftikuss | mohanohi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_%28Unix%29 | 15:00 |
| vaio | these options used to work on an ubuntu version installed within windows with wubi, on a 15GB piece of HD | 15:00 |
| mohanohi | mneptok: a particular software is eating all of my ram and making my ubuntu slow.. | 15:00 |
| mneptok | vaio: it's the same on all OSes. when you suspend, power to the physical RAM is cut. the contents have to go somewhere or they get lost. it gets paged out to disk. | 15:00 |
| mneptok | !linuxatemyram | 15:00 |
| vaio | what do you suggest mneptok? | 15:00 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, so it's the "tmpZ2yf6n.qcow2" file... | 15:01 |
| mneptok | grrr... | 15:01 |
| Tike | Hello | 15:01 |
| mohanohi | luftikuss: it only deals with cpu usage i think.. not on limiting ram.. | 15:01 |
| mneptok | !ram | mohanohi | 15:01 |
| ubottu | mohanohi: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 15:01 |
| Tike | Is it posible to boot Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop via USB Flash Drive? | 15:01 |
| compdoc | gyre007, sounds like | 15:01 |
| mneptok | vaio: do you *need* suspend? is hibernate enough? | 15:01 |
| vaio | 18GB partition, 2GB swap, 2GB ram... isn't that enough for ubuntu to run properly? | 15:01 |
| luftikuss | mohanohi: You are right. I am sorry. My apologies. | 15:02 |
| gyre007 | now I have to figure out how to randomize Mac address and what command to run to generate new vm using that image and the xml template | 15:02 |
| vaio | i cannot even think of "hibernation"... it is deactivated | 15:02 |
| mohanohi | luftikuss: np :) | 15:02 |
| mohanohi | mneptok: taking a look, thank you :) | 15:02 |
| vaio | i've had problems with it before, and never managed to fix it, so i've not tried since | 15:02 |
| Lorra | Hi everybody! I have a local website running on apache2 and I would like to type something like mysite in the address bar of my browser and get my site like if the actual url of the site would be http://localhost/candyshop I would like to type candyshop and get it. To do this I thought I could modify /etc/hosts, any suggestions on how I could do that? | 15:03 |
| vaio | also, hibernation is disabled in this system... | 15:03 |
| mneptok | vaio: again ... suspend requires a minimum swap of >1.1*RAM. | 15:03 |
| Jacruth | hi guys, why I can't remove a file as a sudo? It says it is readable only | 15:03 |
| MonkeyDust | guys & dolls, after a fresh intall, i can no longer login in ubuntu, it always fall back to the lightdm screen -- i'm in windows now -- hints & tips? grub or bios setting or so? | 15:03 |
| compdoc | Lorra, thats usualy done with a dns service on your lan | 15:03 |
| vaio | 1.1 or 11GB? because i already have 2GB | 15:03 |
| mneptok | MonkeyDust: create a new user from a TTY and see if that user can get to a GUI? | 15:04 |
| MonkeyDust | mneptok will try | 15:04 |
| mneptok | vaio: one-point-one multiplied by the amount of physical RAM | 15:04 |
| Lorra | compdoc, don't you get an idea on how I could do it without setting up a dns server? | 15:05 |
| Lorra | compdoc, *.* | 15:05 |
| vaio | oh... you mean i need at least 2.2 gb swap? | 15:05 |
| mneptok | vaio: yes. and even then it may not work at all, depending on Sony's implementation. | 15:05 |
| confused | why is it when I go to sleep or close my laptop, I always have to reboot to get back on line when use my computer again??? | 15:06 |
| vaio | but it used to work without swap at all... | 15:06 |
| mneptok | vaio: it may require fiddling with pm-utils. it may only hibernate and not suspend. | 15:06 |
| compdoc | Lorra, some cable/dsl modems can let you define hosts, or if you set up your hosts file properly, that might work | 15:06 |
| mneptok | vaio: it worked in Linux with no swap? | 15:06 |
| === darkham_ is now known as darkham | ||
| vaio | yes. with the wubi version, installed inside windows | 15:06 |
| vaio | and it also used to work on a dedicated partition, without any swap whatsoever | 15:07 |
| vaio | close the lid, bang! suspended. open lid, resumed | 15:08 |
| mneptok | vaio: i have never heard of a true Linux install (not zombified Wubi stuff) not needing swap to suspend. | 15:08 |
| darkham | hi, i would upgrade mesa driver in 10.04 by the 7.7 to newest version with ATI R300 support | 15:09 |
| vaio | you're saying that if i increased swap to 3GB, it could work... | 15:09 |
| userFOO | win 46 | 15:09 |
| darkham | can i do it someway? | 15:09 |
| mneptok | vaio: might. | 15:09 |
| llutz_ | mneptok: suspend-to-ram (S3) needs no swap | 15:09 |
| mneptok | llutz_: is that in current 12.04 kernels and enabled? | 15:09 |
| * mneptok is lazy | 15:09 | |
| llutz_ | mneptok: idk, i don' use suspend | 15:10 |
| * mneptok throws a halo at llutz's groin | 15:10 | |

| vaio | mneptok... if i tried to enable hibernation, would that work on my current configuration | 15:13 |
| Lorra | compdoc, but I would like to write virtualhost name and get to a specified url on the host, like that I would need to specifiy the path.. | 15:14 |

| BlackPanx | i mean i have few servers on lucid and vserver patch exists for debian's squeeze kernel... can i update my ubuntu's kernel with kernel from that repository ? it's server edition LTS lucid | 15:20 |
| Jacruth | llutz, filesystem | 15:20 |
| darkham | hi, help with mesa drivers and ubuntu 10.04 | 15:20 |
| llutz_ | Jacruth: so check why the fs is readonly | 15:21 |
| Jacruth | is there any common reason? | 15:21 |
| ganster | hi | 15:21 |
| compdoc | BlackPanx, the kernel is updated often with apt-get, but stops once the version has end-of-life. each new version has newer kernels as well | 15:21 |
| llutz_ | Jacruth: what filesystem is it, your / or any mounted data-fs? | 15:21 |
| Lorra | compdoc, yes: I have a site which is accessible at "http://myhost/mysite" I would like it to be accessible at "http://mysite" which should come up when I lazily type "mysite" in the address bar of my browser (the host serving the website is on the LAN) | 15:21 |
| Jacruth | llutz, it is / | 15:22 |
| beakor | can anyone recommend an ubuntu-based distro that works well for netbook-tier hardware? | 15:22 |
| Lorra | compdoc, http://myhost/mysite are names which make sense only on the LAN | 15:22 |
| Jacruth | In act, llutz , I can't do "sudo touch /hi.txt" | 15:22 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu > beakor | 15:23 |

| darkham | how can i update mesa drivers on ubuntu 10.04? | 15:26 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: doing ulimit -m 20000 and running an app from the same terminal didn't honour the limit :( | 15:26 |
| n1timur | Hello | 15:28 |
| darkham | can't upgrade mesa 7.7.1 drivers on ubuntu 10.04? | 15:31 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: ulimit -v xxx | 15:32 |
| bekks | darkham: Have you checked packages.ubuntu.com to see which Ubuntu provides that version? | 15:33 |
| darkham | bekks, the latest on 10.04 repos are the 7.7.1 that now i'm using | 15:33 |
| darkham | bekks, i would upgrade it, it's a little bit old | 15:34 |
| bekks | darkham: Then 12.04 would be the best choice. | 15:34 |
| darkham | bekks, i used it, but i've random freezes | 15:35 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: ulimit -v 100000 giving this limit, it doesn't allow my program to load at all.. saying : kdenlive: error while loading shared libraries: libQtNetwork.so.4: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory | 15:36 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: sorry for my bad english .. | 15:36 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, do you have any handy scripty tools to do that stuff ? | 15:38 |
| gyre007 | I found something here http://www.linuxplayer.org/2011/06/create-new-kvm-guest-from-template | 15:38 |
| gyre007 | but it doesnt seem to be handling apparmor stuff which is Ubuntu related...and thats for CentOS | 15:39 |
| compdoc | gyre007, I have several VMs running 24/7, but theyre servers and dont change | 15:40 |
| compdoc | I dont use scripts | 15:40 |
| gyre007 | I see...ok | 15:40 |
| gyre007 | btwe...now that I have the xml ready | 15:40 |
| gyre007 | and the base image...ie OS image | 15:40 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: sorry, no idea | 15:40 |
| gyre007 | now I should run something like virsh create ? | 15:41 |
| CharlieSu | Has anyone experienced this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/967410 | 15:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 967410 in samba (Ubuntu Quantal) "Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers " [High,Confirmed] | 15:41 |
| compdoc | gyre007, yes, although doesnt the xml point to the image location? | 15:41 |
| ganster | bazhang, see the error i was facing http://imagebin.org/225436 | 15:41 |
| compdoc | you have to tell it what image to use | 15:42 |
| bekks | CharlieSu: Thats a quantal bug, which isnt covered in here, but in #ubuntu+1 | 15:42 |
| BlackPanx | compdoc my question was more like: is debian's squeeze kernel compatible with ubuntu lucid ? | 15:42 |
| gyre007 | compdoc, yes it does.... | 15:42 |
| gyre007 | shouldnt it ? | 15:42 |
| BlackPanx | for server platform of Lucid, not desktop. | 15:42 |
| compdoc | gyre007, I have scripted things before, and being an xml file means you can use the standard bash shell commands to search and replace test in the file | 15:43 |
| compdoc | test=text | 15:43 |
| bobvdv | Hi all | 15:44 |
| gyre007 | Im confused now :) what should I replace...I have done the MAC and UUID bit...also replaced disk image to point it to a base image for a new VM | 15:44 |
| CharlieSu | bekks: quantal? | 15:44 |
| gyre007 | do I have to replace anything else ? | 15:44 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: it worked :) | 15:44 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: thanx | 15:44 |
| compdoc | BlackPanx, I dont know - keep asking, or try asking in #linux | 15:45 |
| bobvdv | I'm getting a very strange error right after booting Ubuntu 12.04, it's just a dialog reporting 'System program problem detected' | 15:45 |
| CharlieSu | bekks: existing in two possible states? | 15:45 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: what did the trick? | 15:45 |
| bobvdv | There is no sign of anything not working correctly, but I'm still concerned about it | 15:45 |
| mohanohi | llutz_: upping the limit.. | 15:45 |
| SmurfTheWeb | Hi all - is this the right place to ask for help on networking in ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| CharlieSu | bekks: nevermind.. i figured out what you mean.. It is happening in 12.04 too though.. | 15:46 |
| compdoc | gyre007, the UUID shouldnt be changed unless you actaully change the drive's UUID using the running vm OS | 15:46 |
| llutz_ | mohanohi: ah ok | 15:46 |
| gyre007 | interesting | 15:47 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, Maybe ask in #debian or #linux | 15:47 |
| gyre007 | ok | 15:47 |
| bobvdv | Is there a way I can detect what this dialog is related too? | 15:47 |
| gyre007 | mm I tried to create it...but am getting error: invalid connection pointer in virStreamFree | 15:47 |
| GunArm | does anyone else pronounce mdadm "muh-dad-um" | 15:47 |
| compdoc | gyre007, since your VMs will be seperated by the network, they can use the same uuid for their drives. I dont think it wil conflict | 15:48 |
| CharlieSu | GunArm: M.D. Admin | 15:48 |
| Mechdave | bobvdv, try looking in /var/log/messages | 15:48 |
| GunArm | CharlieSu: ;) i started saying it as a joke and now it sounds natural m'dadm | 15:49 |

| bobvdv | At least it's not in 'ls /var/log/ | 15:52 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, I don't think it would be a good idea to start using a Debian kernel on a Ubuntu server, you might well have massive stability issues. Maybe it might be better to compile your own kernel to do the job | 15:52 |

| darkham | how can i upgrade mesa 7.7.1, the latest available in 10.04? | 15:58 |
| bobvdv | Mechdave, is there a good way to view logs other than $- more /var/log/syslog ? | 15:58 |
| klync_ | bobvdv: less, tail, head, grep | 15:59 |
| Mechdave | bobvdv, you can use grep to scan the file for a string | 15:59 |
| bobvdv | klync_, just found the log file viewer in dash :) | 15:59 |
| Mechdave | bobvdv, This is a server that the problem is on? | 16:00 |
| bobvdv | no | 16:01 |
| bobvdv | it's on my desktop system | 16:02 |
| BlackPanx | Mechdave i think this seems like best idea. with specs of ubuntu. | 16:02 |
| bobvdv | Mechdave, there's a whole lot of stuff in syslog ... | 16:02 |
| uskerine | i did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:03 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, I was going to suggest a kernel build, but it is involved and don't expect to get it right the first time :) | 16:03 |
| uskerine | and i don't like the results, cna i rollback (precise) | 16:03 |
| uskerine | i see -3.2.0-23 and -3.2.0-29 | 16:03 |
| uskerine | ? | 16:03 |
| BlackPanx | Mechdave i compiled a kernel before, dont worry :) works perfectly on my other server actually... Linux vs102 3.0.24-vs2.3.2.3-black | 16:04 |
| bobvdv | I'm gonna try: sudo rm /var/crash/* | 16:04 |
| BlackPanx | i just think repository thing would be better idea, but okay... | 16:04 |
| intermediate | i cant burn cds in my cd drive | 16:04 |
| Mechdave | bobvdv, if you grep the file it will return the matching line. eg: grep /var/log/syslog "System program problem detected" | 16:04 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, You should be good to go then :) | 16:05 |
| TJ- | bobvdv: You might find a recent crash dump in /var/crash/ | 16:05 |
| Mechdave | intermediate, you need a cdr to burn cd's | 16:05 |
| BlackPanx | Mechdave i guess so. i'll try it out and see how it goes. | 16:06 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, good luck :) | 16:06 |
| gyre007 | I have an image file, which I use as a template for my guests...there is one problem with it...well I cant figure out what to do about it...how do I change hostname when I create a new VM from the image ? I mean I know how I can change it when the VM is already running.... | 16:06 |
| bobvdv | Mechdave, then I just get this: grep: System program problem detected: No such file or directory | 16:06 |
| gyre007 | but I need to do that during startup...ie during boot | 16:06 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, just make sure you know exactly what the hardware in your server is and you should be fine | 16:06 |
| bobvdv | Mechdave, I'm using grep wrong? | 16:06 |
| intermediate | i have one connected to my desktop and memerorex cd | 16:07 |
| bobvdv | Mechdave, had the arguments in wrong order | 16:07 |
| TJ- | bobvdv: do "grep -i 'problem detected' /var/log/syslog" | 16:07 |
| bobvdv | but grep does not do me any good, it finds nothing in the log | 16:07 |
| TJ- | bobvdv: You might find a recent crash dump in /var/crash/ | 16:08 |
| BlackPanx | Mechdave i usually start from default ubuntu's kernel... which is fine, and just fill in the differences of the patch i am applying. | 16:08 |
| bobvdv | TJ-, gonna try that, but i just rm'd the folder so stupid of me | 16:08 |
| nitrohax | the track pad is so much nicer then a mouse | 16:08 |
| nitrohax | wrong room sorry | 16:08 |
| bobvdv | TJ-, I'm going to reboot now, problem occurs right after booting so I'll have a look in /var/crash after reboot | 16:09 |
| Mechdave | BlackPanx, you sound like you are much more advanced than I am. Last serious kernel I compiled was for RH 5.07 and that was because I had oddball hardware which wasn't supported then... Different story now :) | 16:09 |
| TJ- | Kernel compilation is straight-forward if you work from the Ubuntu git repos and patch on top; you can use the Ubuntu build system to package it too | 16:10 |
| intermediate | i burned cd in win xp thats how i got lubuntu os | 16:10 |

| Furry | If I install ubuntu over an existing install, but choose not to format the partition - will it preserve the contents of /home ? | 16:12 |
| intermediate | ok | 16:12 |
| bobvdv | TJ-, my rm /var/crash/* fixed it I guess | 16:12 |
| bobvdv | no more dialog this reboot | 16:12 |
| DJones | Furry: Assuming /home isn't on a seperate partition and is just included in the file system, it should preserve /home, but I'd recommend a backup just in case something went wrong | 16:13 |
| TJ- | bobvdv: That makes sense. crash dumps are written to /var/crash/ and then there's a system daemon that checks for new crashes and alerts the user/optionally submits the analysed dump to the bug tracker | 16:13 |
| Mechdave | Furry, I like to run /home on a separate partition so I can format the / partition without fear of any old files being left over | 16:14 |
| f00bar80 | how to disable network-manager and make use of resolv.conf ?? | 16:14 |
| Furry | Mechdave, yeah, I intend to do that once I fix my install | 16:15 |
| Furry | if I use the same username as the old install, will it preserve the files, DJones? | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | id use s live cd and gparted to make a home partition first. copy stuff to it. and reformat / | 16:15 |
| DJones | Furry: Its not something I've tried recently, it may depend on whether /home is encrypted etc, I'd do what Dr_Willis suggested and have a seperate home partition first | 16:17 |
| Furry | I can't - not enough free space on my drive to do so | 16:18 |
| Mechdave | Furry, how about a external drive? | 16:19 |
| TJ- | Furry: One way to protect your existing /home/$USER is to rename it to a username the installer won't be given. | 16:19 |
| Furry | and then rename it back? | 16:20 |
| TJ- | Furry, then later you can boot into recovery (which is root), "rm -rf /home/$NEWUSER" and "mv /home/$OLDUSER /home/$NEWUSER" | 16:21 |
| TJ- | Furry then reboot normally and your personal user home will be back | 16:21 |
| Furry | okay | 16:21 |
| Furry | thanks | 16:21 |
| Mechdave | Good thinking TJ- :) | 16:21 |
| intermediate | i think my cd drive isjust old I have a Ibm Think Centre computer | 16:21 |
| TJ- | Furry: But I'd still strongly recommend you back-up the old home !!FIRST!! | 16:21 |
| TJ- | Furry: Even if it is over the network to an Ubuntu One locker or similar | 16:22 |
| Furry | no space, no ext drives | 16:22 |

| Dr_Willis | vsync setting to reduce tearing | 16:28 |
| digitalcrow | I dont want to use compiz but when i dont use it i have TEARING ! | 16:28 |
| bekks | digitalcrow: Did you enable the vsync settings in the nvidia settings tool? | 16:28 |
| intermediate | My drive noticed cd-r that have burned | 16:28 |

| digitalcrow | I've tested other nvidia graphics cards on other pcs and i have the same tearing | 16:29 |
| digitalcrow | Maybe its my screen ? | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | chck it again | 16:29 |
| bekks | digitalcrow: Which ubuntu do you have exactly, running which nvidia driver exactly, installed from where? | 16:29 |
| TJ- | Furry: That seems like the best plan, but make TRIPLE sure the installer isn't going to format / anyhow (check its summary VERY carefully before you give the final go-ahead) | 16:29 |
| Furry | okay, thanks | 16:29 |
| digitalcrow | bekks its doesn't matter ! I tried the two driver jockey/ubuntu suggests ! nothing | 16:30 |
| digitalcrow | i tried to install newest driver from XSWAT REPO and nothing | 16:30 |

| GirlyGirl | nightwalkerkg: [4-tea-2] Chrome (not chromium) does come with flash and its the latest version unlike the regular plugin on other browsers as flash on linux is discontinued | 16:55 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: you could always try to create a fresh user account, log in as that new user, and start Chrome from there to make sure it's not a problem with anything you've done as your current user. | 16:56 |
| nightwalkerkg | When i fist started to use Ubuntu it worked without a problem. But then i had to switch back to Windows and now i have Ubuntu again and the thing wont work. I tyed it on 11.10 and 12.04. | 16:56 |
| diverdude | is there any way to list all packages installed? Or especially list all packages installed using checkinstall? | 16:56 |
| theadmin | diverdude: Dunno about "checkinstall" but all packages = dpkg -l | 16:56 |
| alo21 | Mechdave: yea... | 16:56 |
| alo21 | Mechdave: I've tried... and it works | 16:57 |
| ErtanERBEK | Hi Everyone, | 16:57 |
| alo21 | Mechdave: thank yoy very much | 16:57 |
| ErtanERBEK | can anybody enterate ATİ 12.6 86_64 Driver to Ubuntu Kernal 3.5 | 16:58 |
| [4-tea-2] | Howdy, anybody volunteering to recommend a file indexer (like beagle, tracker) for an "above average" number of files? | 16:58 |
| theadmin | !find linux-image-generic | 16:58 |
| ubottu | Found: linux-image-generic, linux-image-generic-pae | 16:58 |
| theadmin | Doh. | 16:58 |
| nightwalkerkg | Nope,it's not the user side. | 16:59 |
| [4-tea-2] | (In a couple of minutes I'll ask whether anybody cares to recommend *any* file indexer at all, heh.) | 16:59 |
| theadmin | ErtanERBEK: The latest supported kernel on Ubuntu is 3.2.something. | 16:59 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: then I'm lost. | 16:59 |
| Mechdave | alo21, no worries. | 16:59 |
| luftikuss | /var/log/dpkg.log reports: "2012-08-22 15:03:59 status not-installed linux-source-3.2.0 <none>." What does mean here "<none>"? | 17:00 |
| bekks | [4-tea-2]: How many files do we talk about? | 17:00 |
| ErtanERBEK | theadmin: I know, Thank you for your help. But I ask diffrent | 17:00 |
| theadmin | ErtanERBEK: What you asked makes no real sense because "enterate" is not a word. | 17:01 |
| ErtanERBEK | sorry my bad englis, I mean integrated theadmin | 17:01 |
| nightwalkerkg | [4-tea-2]: Then think how lost i am. xD | 17:01 |
| nightwalkerkg | The thing is driving me nuts. | 17:02 |
| theadmin | ErtanERBEK: Well. This channel will not provide support for unofficial software. Kernel 3.5 isn't official, so, well... | 17:02 |
| theadmin | ErtanERBEK: "official" as in approved by Ubuntu and in Ubuntu's repos. | 17:02 |
| ErtanERBEK | theadmin: Do you know any way integrated ATI 12.6 to kernel 3.5 | 17:02 |
| nightwalkerkg | Yesterday i hated Adobe really,really much. Now i hate them even more. | 17:02 |
| [4-tea-2] | bekks: I started a "find $path -type f|wc -l" about 20 minutes ago. | 17:03 |
| ErtanERBEK | theadmin: thank you for your asistance. Could you give me unofficial channal name | 17:03 |
| Rods_Tiger | How do I find out what apps I've installed (ever) on a recent Ubuntu installation? If I go to Software Centre, I get a gigantic list of stuff I didn't install and can't pronounce. Where's just the stuff I clicked on and pressed 'install' for? | 17:03 |
| nightwalkerkg | [4-tea-2]: Is there an alternativ for flash ? | 17:03 |
| nightwalkerkg | I have heard about gnash. | 17:03 |
| [4-tea-2] | bekks: 1.5 mio | 17:04 |
| theadmin | ErtanERBEK: There is none, if you're using unofficial software you're on your own | 17:04 |
| theadmin | Rods_Tiger: I don't think there is such a list, honestly. | 17:04 |
| Rods_Tiger | Gah! | 17:04 |
| theadmin | Rods_Tiger: I can see why that'd be nice though | 17:05 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: for real world purposes (which often include video playback), probably not, at least not when I last tried. | 17:05 |
| Furry | TJ-, still therE? | 17:05 |
| Rods_Tiger | Yes, so that I can replicate all the whims and fancies I had, on other installations. | 17:05 |
| nightwalkerkg | [4-tea-2]: Then i am *****. xD | 17:05 |
| Rods_Tiger | you know how it is, when you go to install one or two things, you end up installing thirty, but forget which ones they were later. | 17:06 |
| theadmin | Rods_Tiger: Please check out Remastersys (allows to make a bootable backup of your system) and AptOnCD (saves your packages for you) | 17:06 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: I hate to say that, but if you've messed up your system so much that Chrome's bundled Flash crashes, you might want to consider a fresh install. | 17:06 |
| Rods_Tiger | remastersys? thanks | 17:06 |
| nightwalkerkg | [4-tea-2]: The only problem is. This is a fresh install. xD | 17:07 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: great, then you're not losing much. | 17:07 |
| glebihan | !clone | Rods_Tiger | 17:07 |
| ubottu | Rods_Tiger: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 17:07 |
| [4-tea-2] | nightwalkerkg: just try google-chrome first this time, before you start to try seven different methods of installing flash. :) | 17:08 |
| Rods_Tiger | hmm - insanely complicated, but thanks. | 17:08 |
| theadmin | Rods_Tiger: Also note that this command will fail on 64-bit systems (that's what "multiarch" means) | 17:09 |
| nightwalkerkg | [4-tea-2]: I think i am going to cry. xD | 17:10 |
| Rods_Tiger | Ah, this is 64-bit | 17:10 |
| DANYAL | i posted | 17:10 |
| [4-tea-2] | theadmin: dpkg --get/set-selection isn't supported any longer? | 17:10 |
| p1l0t | My shockwave flash plugin keeps crashing on chromium (doesn't work on any of my browsers) | 17:10 |
| theadmin | [4-tea-2]: No, Aptitude. It doesn't work with multiarch. | 17:10 |
| DANYAL | i posted my bash prompt line in /etc/skel.bashrc but when i relogin the prompt is same :( | 17:10 |
| [4-tea-2] | DANYAL: the skeleton files are used when you set up a NEW user, I think. | 17:11 |
| bekks | DANYAL: Because the /etc/skel.bashrc is evaluated only for NEW users. | 17:11 |
| theadmin | DANYAL: Because it's /etc/skel/.bashrc, and because it only works for new users. | 17:11 |
| [4-tea-2] | DANYAL: you have a local .bashrc, try that. | 17:11 |
| Mechdave | DANYAL, I always put PS1 stuff in .bashrc | 17:11 |
| DANYAL | how to make for all users? | 17:12 |
| RyanWyan | How do I make a home network in Ubuntu? I want to be able to view my school work accessable on all my computers. | 17:12 |
| Mechdave | DANYAL, usually in /etc/profile for memory | 17:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | Software Centre nearly does it, with the 'installed' button, but it uselessly hides it all in toggle arrows, and then once you've gone through every single category and opened them all, you can't just select the whole page, or export the list or anything. Useless. | 17:13 |
| WITRchris | so is there a way to authenticate against AD in ubuntu /without/ using winbindd? | 17:14 |

| [4-tea-2] | Rods_Tiger: back in the old days, when we had to walk 15 miles to school, uphill, both ways, we used dpkg --get-selection on the source machine and dpkg --set-selection on the target machine. | 17:16 |

| the_dudez0r | Hello, I've been having this problem with my touchpad. Sometimes after turning my laptop on, once I get the gnome login screen, my touchpad isn't working, since I'm not knowledgeable enough I usually resort to simply restarting my laptop and bam! it works. What I'm wondering is, if there's any alternative way of getting your touchpad to work, maybe logging in in an another vtty and issuing some command there to restart the driver | 17:22 |
| jano_ | Guest54823, I had the same issue - video OK but NO sound | 17:22 |

| jjkinas | kingbeast I don't really care about the load sreen , just want to access the console altf1 and i get a black screen | 17:49 |
| galacticboy | Bye Take Care. :) | 17:50 |
| wilee-nilee | tweezer, Is it first in the bios to be read, if you have multiple HD's and did you load grub to its mbr, two questions here. | 17:50 |
| Jordan_U | jjkinas: Were you able to access the console before adding "nomodeset"? | 17:50 |
| W4sp | jjkinas: You can 'ps axuw | grep tty'. It shoud come up with some lines. | 17:50 |
| jjkinas | jordan_u no I could not access console | 17:50 |
| jjkinas | w4sp: yes i got the lines , should i post to pastebin ? | 17:51 |
| Jordan_U | jjkinas: What happened when you tried to access the console before adding "nomodeset"? With nomodeset was X working normally? | 17:51 |
| phy1729 | can I get resolv.conf info from DHCP and still have a static IP? | 17:51 |
| Jordan_U | jjkinas: *Without nomodeset was X working normally? | 17:51 |
| tweezer | wilee-nilee: Just one drive... and on the disk there's a partition 100MB big called EFI with grubx64.efi mounted... | 17:51 |
| Jordan_U | phy1729: Yes. | 17:52 |
| phy1729 | how? I need nameserver and domain | 17:52 |
| W4sp | jjkinas: No, not needed. IT means the process is running and indeed there is an issue with the display. | 17:52 |
| jjkinas | jordan_U Yes X is working normally with or without nomodeset, I added it to try to get the console to show | 17:52 |
| wilee-nilee | tweezer, ah efi I would have removed all of that if possible, I'm not familiar with efi, others are though. | 17:52 |
| Jordan_U | phy1729: Simply configure DHCP with a static ip in nm-connection-editor. | 17:53 |
| jjkinas | Jordan_U I can remove it , as the only thing it helped was showing the ubuntu load screen and that is not what I wanted to fix. | 17:53 |

| W4sp | jjkinas: (as you suspected already) I just wanted to ensure that the foundation is there before the graphics specialist jump up. | 17:53 |
| kingbeast | jjkinas, you do have catalyst installed, right? | 17:53 |
| Jordan_U | jjkinas: I would recommend removing it. Kernel Mode Setting is a good thing to have (when it's working properly). | 17:54 |
| jjkinas | kingbeast: I installed the drivers through " additional drivers " | 17:54 |
| tweezer | wilee-nilee: It shows up in boot menu as ubuntu but it don't start...just says that no disk inserted... | 17:54 |
| jjkinas | kingbeast: it installed catalyst control center | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | tweezer, here is a wiki while you wait for confirmation or help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 17:55 |
| kingbeast | jjkinas, ok just had to make sure first. | 17:55 |
| Jordan_U | tweezer: How did you install Ubuntu? | 17:55 |
| wilee-nilee | tweezer, That is about al I can do witha efi, hehe you would not want your mechanic doing brain surgery on you now would you. ;O) | 17:55 |
| tweezer | jordan_U: With my USB-stick....have installed it on 4 other computers... just changed the disk in this one...but it was a brand new disk... | 17:55 |
| Jordan_U | tweezer: When you say that you "just changed the disk" does that mean that you ran the installer on a different machine than the machine which currently has the drive? | 17:57 |
| jjkinas | The reason my setup is the way it is , In windows(for gaming) everything works fine and my primary add in card 6670 uses the AMD APU for "dual graphics mode" Hybrid crossfire , : now I don't need the dual graphics mode for linux , I just need the kernel to ignore the APU and only use my add in 6670 where my 1 monitor is attached. | 17:57 |
| eipi-1 | good evening, in bootchart i found a process called 'gs' which according to google means ghostscipt and has to do with printing? Is this process necessary on boot time and does it have to run all the time? | 17:58 |
| tweezer | Jordan_U: No... it's a new computer with new disk.... :P | 17:59 |
| kingbeast | jjkinas, it looks like you are having better luck than most that are using that card. | 17:59 |
| jjkinas | kingbeast: Yah , I have been searching with no luck, I was thinking that maybe it was a kernel problem and if I had a more updated kernel the problem would be fixed. | 18:00 |

| MoTec | !help RamiAM | 18:02 |
| MoTec | meh, I don't know how to do that, lol. | 18:03 |
| klync | nickhs: i can make one guess: check whether your vpn network and your lan share the same IP subnet (e.g. 192.168.x.x). my guess is that you have conflicting routes; if so, change your lan (unless you're able to change the vpn!) to use 10.x.x.x instead | 18:03 |
| tweezer | Jordan_U: No, it shows up as "ubuntu" when I manually choose boot drive.... it's running just fine... just that the boot loader don't start it... | 18:03 |
| Jordan_U | RamiAM: Please ask your question (using complete English sentences, spelled properly). | 18:04 |
| nickhs | klync: I unfortunately can't change the company LAN (and I don't believe that's the issue). Others in the office are able to connect just fine using Viscosity | 18:04 |
| W4sp | MoTec: YOu can do that by '!help | <nick>' Give it a try with RamiAM please. | 18:04 |

| jrib | !ssh | danub | 18:15 |
| ubottu | danub: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 18:15 |
| danub | yeah... i know what ssh is.... i have a shell to my system right now. i need to get a gui | 18:15 |
| MoTec | danub: you can run vnc over a ssh tunnel | 18:15 |
| W4sp | const_antine: You can use nmap for this. | 18:15 |

| Leo___ | Hi, is there anyone who is knowledgable of ndiswrapper who can help me out? | 18:18 |
| baizon | Leo___: just ask your question ;) | 18:18 |
| DANYAL | when i post © sign in my ubuntu server im getting error | 18:18 |
| W4sp | const_antine: OK, as an exaple use 'nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/22' | 18:18 |
| DANYAL | it show only . | 18:18 |
| tweezer | Mouse got caught in the cord... :P | 18:18 |
| const_antine | w4sp: already in progress | 18:19 |
| Leo___ | baizon ok :) after I finish installing ndiswrapper, it displays "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found." after I do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" | 18:19 |
| danub | ok, let me clarify. i have open-ssh installed. i am currently ssh'd into the server (which has a gdm). what i need to check cant be checked via the terminal so i need to get a remote desktop from my linux laptop to my ubuntu server. but the guides i read online says i have to enable remote access by checking options in a menu. which i cant do because im not at home and only have a terminal. so.. what do i need to install to get a remote desktop going? | 18:19 |
| jrib | !vnc | danub | 18:19 |
| ubottu | danub: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 18:19 |
| baizon | danub: or X Forwarding | 18:20 |
| tweezer | Jordan_U: Do you have any clues? | 18:20 |
| danub | jrib: how can i configure vnc with only a shell? | 18:20 |
| jrib | danub: by reading the page linked | 18:20 |
| Jordan_U | tweezer: I was waiting for you to give the pastebin link, I see it now but next time include my nick in your message so I don't miss it :) | 18:21 |
| danub | i installed vn4server, but there wasn't a conf file. it was /usr/bin/vnc4serverconfig which needs a display | 18:21 |

| mike029 | hi everyone, just wanted to ask here quickly before i started a thread, is there any type of issue going on recently with Nvidia ION and newer versions of ubuntu? it seems that since i updated to 12.04 a few months back my display randomly shuts off. for both hdmi and vga. i just decided to attack this project again and it's confusing me. just wondering if there was an update to nvidia drivers that could have triggered this that was | 18:40 |
| mike029 | it will boot then about 4 seconds later the display will just shut off | 18:40 |
| const_antine | if your x server crashes, or something else fails, you could switch to another terminal w/o turning off your machine, and look at the logs | 18:41 |
| rypervenche | bonno: If your screen freaks out, you can log into the terminal and fix it. Or if X isn't working, you can use the terminal. | 18:41 |
| mike029 | is there a keyboard shortcut to close out x and open the terminal? | 18:41 |
| tweezer | Jordan_U: No errors. | 18:41 |

| CharlieSu | rypervenche: i've only run ./configure and make now... | 18:43 |
| mike029 | the display shut off...so it leads me to believe something with the drivers | 18:43 |
| rypervenche | CharlieSu: Then run "sudo checkinstall" | 18:44 |
| const_antine | my mouse just died :( | 18:44 |
| rypervenche | bonno: It does. | 18:44 |
| Leo___ | erg, maybe I shouldn't be using Ubuntu if I can't even figure out how to configure my wireless adapter. I'll try again later. | 18:45 |
| CharlieSu | rypervenche: dude that worked.. thanks.. glad i asked | 18:45 |

| W4sp | maximilian: You need to sudo into the box to amnipulate files in /usr/local/bin. See also chmod | 18:45 |
| maximilian | hm | 18:46 |

| const_antine | mike029, who knows. mine is a laptop, with intel gpu | 18:46 |
| W4sp | maximilian: Why do you want to install the file? It is very unusual to do so the way you try. | 18:46 |
| Leo___ | Maximilian would you mind helping me when you are done? | 18:47 |
| ChibiPanda | Leo, what are you trying to configure? Which adapter? | 18:48 |
| krytarik | Leo___, have you already had a look at this guide?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 18:49 |
| Leo___ | Chibipanda the netgear wg311v3, I get "FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found" after "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" | 18:49 |
| maximilian | W4sp: for some reason my skype doesn't use the v4l library and i'm following a solution to it from the ubuntu community | 18:49 |
| Leo___ | krytarik yes | 18:49 |
| ChibiPanda | Leo, do you have ndiswrapper installed? If not, you'd get that error. | 18:49 |
| ChibiPanda | try sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 18:49 |
| Leo___ | ndiswrapper -l displays that my drivers are installed | 18:49 |
| Leo___ | Yes I installed ndiswrapper, and apt-get isn't going to work because I'm not online | 18:50 |
| szal | hmmm.. was 12.04.1 released 6 days ago as planned, or was the release postponed? | 18:50 |
| trism | Leo___: is this 12.04? ndiswrapper isn't included with the kernel in 12.04 so you need to install ndiswrapper-dkms | 18:50 |
| Leo___ | trism yes! How do I install ndiswrapper-dkms? | 18:51 |
| trism | Leo___: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms; although if you only have wireless, you'll need to download the package from packages.ubuntu.com and install it manually | 18:51 |
| ChibiPanda | If you can plug into a wired connection (not sure if laptop or desktop) it may make life easier for you. | 18:52 |

| amr_ | theadmin: I got message it's already the newest one | 18:53 |
| amr_ | ?? | 18:53 |

| trism | Leo___: can you pastebin: dpkg -l 'linux-headers*'; and you can download all the packages from packages.ubuntu.com | 18:55 |
| ChibiPanda | Also, stupid question Leo, but did you reboot after installing ndiswrapper? | 18:55 |
| trism | Leo___: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/dkms for instance | 18:56 |
| Leo___ | Chibipanda yes | 18:56 |
| Jordan_U | tweezer: OK. I'm not sure why it isn't working properly, but upgrading to grub 2.00 might help as UEFI support has generally improved. Unfortunately upgrading to grub 2.00 will require compiling it from source. | 18:56 |
| ChibiPanda | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 Check this out, it might be of some help to you | 18:56 |

| theadmin | amr_: Sorry, I'm not sure. | 18:58 |
| Leo___ | trism I cannot pastebin as I'm not online but I should install all those? Also how do I install dkms it isnt a deb file | 18:58 |
| Leo___ | And Chibipanda yes I have seen that | 18:58 |
| amr_ | theadmin: can you tell me other place to ask for support | 18:58 |
| theadmin | amr_: Try ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.com | 18:58 |
| ChibiPanda | Leo, is there any way you can do a wired connection on that PC? Not sure if its a laptop or desktop, but if so, that would make your life a lot easier. | 18:58 |
| trism | Leo___: at the bottom of that page, the all link, goes to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/dkms/download where you can download it | 18:59 |
| amr_ | theadmin: thank you | 18:59 |
| Leo___ | Trism thanks! And where do I find the Linux headers? | 18:59 |
| trism | Leo___: don't really need the pastebin I was just curious if the headers were already installed, what is: uname -a; I'll grab the correct links to the headers | 19:00 |

| aszurom | is it possible to resize sda1 without booting to a livecd? | 20:01 |
| twiztid | zykotick9: right tight, lol my bad... but ya im on twin view.... found a potential workaround by enabling composite in xorg, restart. then open nvidia settings and uncheck force full gpu scaling and make sure the method is set to aspect ratio scaled then save to x... ill get back to ya if it helps... | 20:01 |
| grendal_prime | so when the box comes up. the screen is duplicated, and had the first screen over the second screen...(multiple monitors) i have to set it for mirrored..then back to multiple monitors. (every time i start the machine) | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | aszurom: probably not... | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | twiztid: i'd appreciate feedback if it works/help ;) | 20:02 |

| zykotick9 | j2daosh: ssh + xforwarding is a FAR better option then remote desktop, IMO. Good luck (fyi, i think vinage needs to be started from the GUI to work...) | 20:06 |
| swinchen | is there any way to get fdisk during a server install? I need to make sure my partitions are in an exact location... and the standard curses installer doesn't seem to have that. | 20:07 |
| swinchen | I tried the "start a shell" but there is no fdisk | 20:07 |
| j2daosh | ok, how can i do x forwarding? i need to view generated pictures on the server and cant do it from the command line so i am trying to get a desktop on it. but i dont know where to start going about this | 20:07 |
| hex20dec | stomass: Hey | 20:08 |
| zykotick9 | j2daosh: assuming you are connecting from a gnu/linux box, "ssh -X SERVER" then just start the GUI application | 20:08 |
| j2daosh | and i just turn on forwarding in the sshd_config? | 20:09 |
| zykotick9 | j2daosh: yup | 20:09 |
| j2daosh | then restart sshd and that should be all it takes? | 20:09 |
| zykotick9 | j2daosh: yup | 20:09 |

| oleksiyp | Hello all. Have a question. It seems 12.04.1 will be released soon. Is 3.5 kernel inside? Could not find correct answer in google. This seems affect stability on my Asus Zenbook UX32VD. | 20:25 |
| deuropeirc | E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate | 20:25 |
| savio | deuropeirc, tell us from start | 20:25 |
| deuropeirc | i am new on ubuntu | 20:25 |
| deuropeirc | i dont know all about this on ubuntu 10.04 lts | 20:25 |
| HAMKoot | i remember there is a !java factoid | 20:26 |
| savio | oleksiyp, i think not | 20:26 |
| trism | oleksiyp: as far as I am aware, we won't see the quantal kernel backport in the main repository until 12.04.2 | 20:27 |
| savio | HAMKoot, are you talking about deuropeirc's problem | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | !java | 20:28 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:28 |
| lbl | litropy: what you learned today is wrong | 20:28 |
| oleksiyp | Oh, I see. We will have it in 12.10 in October and backport some time after, am I correct? | 20:28 |
| === Fluffernutter is now known as l | ||
| litropy | lbl, maybe "alternative" was too strong a word? | 20:29 |
| litropy | lbl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GObject#Comparisons_to_other_object_systems | 20:30 |
| lbl | litropy: even while "a bad alternative" would move it closer to the truth, the setup of the comparison is conceptually wrong. | 20:30 |
| litropy | lbl, thanks for your input; I feel better. | 20:31 |
| lbl | "C++ with STL" is wrong by itself, as the Standard Library is an intrinsic part of C++ | 20:31 |
| trism | oleksiyp: looks like 12.04.2 is targeted currently around January, so yes, seems about right | 20:31 |
| lbl | (and that's already assuming the "STL" there refers to the Standard Library....) | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | oleksiyp: once a release is made, MOST software doesn't get version # increases (the kernel almost for sure) | 20:31 |
| savio | intrinsic ? | 20:31 |
| oleksiyp | Ok. Thank you. | 20:31 |

| lbl | savio: intrinsic. it's standardized in the same document as the C++ "core language" | 20:32 |
| lbl | "C with GLib" on the other hand does make sense - as a phrase. there's a C language, and glib is a library | 20:33 |
| litropy | lbl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Template_Library | 20:33 |
| litropy | lbl: RE: (and that's already assuming the "STL" there refers to the Standard Library....) | 20:34 |
| lbl | litropy: thanks. I am aware of that. | 20:34 |
| litropy | lbl: Sentence seen p1 of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLib#Similar_projects | 20:34 |
| lbl | that's why I said "assuming". I know that the STL and the C++ Standard Library are different beasts. still, the latter is colloquial often referred to as "STL". and someone saying "C++ with STL" is probably ignorant enough to do that... | 20:36 |
| savio | lbl, C++ and stl are too different things no? | 20:36 |
| lbl | savio: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Template_Library | 20:37 |
| lbl | this is pretty accurate | 20:37 |
| lbl | on the other hand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLib#Similar_projects seems to be written by someone who doesn't know C++ | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | lbl: savio this doesn't seem ubuntu related anymore... | 20:38 |

| savio | lbl, i know that but they are different thing c++ doesn't depend upon STL | 20:41 |
| lbl | zykotick9: maybe you know. why does ubuntu use a C/glib based toolkit as foundation for the majority for the applications it distributes? | 20:41 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds_: common grub settings in /etc/default/grub | 20:41 |
| knyn_ | NickServ is back up! | 20:41 |

| zykotick9 | diamonds_: "common" | 20:41 |

Beats me; I can't find anything that matches your issue ... everything I'm seeing has to do with TPM timing out, however in your case, it doesn't.

| BoomerBile | vaio, ^^ | 21:50 |
| vaio | call me stupid, - never tried that one - just because it used to work just fine with other versions... a year or so ago | 21:50 |
| twiztid | zykotick9: aw bummer, ya i had my left at is highest 1440x900 and my right at its highest 1600x900, so after all the preliminary checks, bumping my right down to 1440x900 and gpu scaling on stretched did the trick | 21:50 |

| zykotick9 | twiztid: glad you fixed it! | 21:51 |

| pp7 | in 12.04 why does global menu stop working sometimes?? | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 22:22 |
| usr13 | fellayaboy: What is hard about that? | 22:22 |
| krzysz00 | I have an HP 2005pr docking station and a 20in monitor that connects over HDMI. The monitor works when connected to the laptop directly, but not when it's connected to the docking station. Any ideas? | 22:22 |
| xangua | pp7: for example¿ do you have your system updated¿ | 22:22 |
| dragon_ | any idea on how about i could make a plugin to anable tha viewing of netflix | 22:23 |
| fellayaboy | usr13 it gets very tidious | 22:23 |
| pp7 | xangua, absolutely | 22:23 |
| fellayaboy | having to do it over and over and over again | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: hi I woudn't normally be here anymore, but for certain reasons decided to join just now, anyway I know about Netflix and Linux | 22:23 |
| fellayaboy | so theres no current way of making vlc the default for all media? | 22:23 |
| fellayaboy | without having to do that tidious ritual | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: unforutnatly Netflix do not support Desktop LInux, they don't support Linux either unless you include Android as a Linux distro | 22:24 |
| usr13 | fellayaboy: Not that I know of. | 22:24 |
| usr13 | sebsebseb: Good luck, he's been told that 3 or 4 times now. | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | usr13: oh well I didn't know that, I just joiend | 22:25 |
| dragon_ | kool... well i would like to get net flix to work on my lubuntu.. i love netflix, an i think its retarted it only seems it works on a windows system | 22:25 |
| jusss | how i can do that two keyboards mouses displays work on one computer with different user together? | 22:25 |
| jrib | fellayaboy: you can edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list or ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (I don't remember which one is used nowadays) | 22:25 |
| usr13 | sebsebseb: That's ok, just letting you know. I should't be so rude about it, but when someone keeps asking the same question over and over, it gets old. | 22:25 |
| xangua | fellayaboy: there was an option to do that in 'ubuntu tweak' to do that, well actually i am refering when i used lucid there was an option to do that; don't know the current state of Ubuntu Tweak | 22:25 |
| dragon_ | well then is there any way to slipstream tha android kernal into lubuntu | 22:26 |
| fellayaboy | sucks | 22:26 |
| usr13 | dragon_: Yea, there may be. That would be cool. | 22:26 |
| usr13 | dragon_: Can I PM you? | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: no it's not the kernel | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: I don't think the kernel has much to do with it | 22:27 |
| dragon_ | hmmm.... any idea of how about to that ? | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | Android has a lot of differences to Desktop Linux distros | 22:27 |
| fellayaboy | this is what sucks...the mimeapps.list says vlc is the deafult for audio and video yet it never opens by default unless i do that right click open with default ritual | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | so Netflix made for Android sure, but not for Desktop Linux, and so yep works with Android, but not normal Linux distros | 22:27 |

| sebsebseb | dragon_: uh no | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | that's not how it works | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | Android is differnet from normal Linux distros, netflix has not been made for normal distros | 22:30 |
| dragon_ | y no | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | also Netflix is silveright for computers, that's a Microsoft thing, and won't work with anything, but WIndows well maybe Mac as well | 22:30 |
| pp7 | how do i restart global menu's after it stops working in 12.04 without logging out/back in? | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | and Moonlight the open source alternative is dead, but it seems was never good enough to handle Netflix anyway | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: so basically you run Windows in a virtual machine, or run it on some other device such as a PS3 or Android phone/tablet | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | for Netflix | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | or contact them and demand they make for "normal" distros | 22:31 |
| bekks | Or just pay them to do so. | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: yep or you can do that ^ if you got the cash | 22:32 |
| dragon_ | yea, tru tru, but i dont like useing a vm, on this netbook... its tooo slow to do anythin thru one of thouse | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | dragon_: well yeah true netbooks aren't realy vm devices, but I guess you got some other device where you can run Netflix anyway | 22:32 |
| octane-- | zykotick9: it was a problem with my hosts.allow/deny | 22:32 |

| persona24 | bobweaver: Ok, so I'm still learning so excuse my lack of vocabulary. When I push tab for |pastebinit nothing happens. I've learn if tab does nothing the command won't do anything | 22:59 |
| bobweaver | because it is not installed yet the && caoncatinates the string | 22:59 |

| usr13 | persona24: He said to hook up a wired connection first. | 23:02 |
| usr13 | persona24: Hook up to ethernet | 23:02 |
| persona24 | usr13: I did. So, the additional drivers just popped up. . . think that might do the job? | 23:03 |
| usr13 | persona24: Maybe, I dono | 23:03 |

| bobweaver | that TaJMoX needs googubutnu.com brb | 23:53 |
| TaJMoX | bobweaver for example, I have files called 0413980.mp3 and 47821.mp3 ... One is Bob Dylan, one is Pearl Jam. ....
