Normally I never have problems, but this is the first time I've tried to do it from this install of Ubuntu 12.04. Everytime I try to select the .iso file I want to create an iamge out of, it instead just chooses another one completely that I appranetly used in the past (I have the same /home) Is there a way to clean the cache or stop this from happening? | 00:05 |

| kreig9 | Dr_Willis: ugh sorry to waste your time on this - co-worker just told me that on the USB, there is a system image of Win95, which is why it is a read only.. But in regards to the CD-ROM not showing up - any ideas? | 00:20 |
| gvsn | i would have thought it would be more stable then windows and faster but atm im happier with windows | 00:20 |

| ev_ | bobweaver: im down for whatever | 01:42 |
| bobweaver | Ok ev_ sudo apt-get build-dep unity-2d | 01:42 |
| jrib | omn: something like: find /path/to/directory -exec chmod 755 '{}' (you probably don't want to do exactly this since all your files would become executable) | 01:42 |
| bobweaver | ev_, after that sudo apt-get install qt-creator | 01:43 |
| omn | jrib: awesome, I've never used -exec on find before, what does the '{}' in the command do? | 01:44 |
| jrib | omn: the result from find is placed there | 01:44 |
| jrib | omn: umm, actually you need a \; at the end too. See the man page, but ask if it's not clear | 01:44 |

| craigbass1976 | I've got a dual boot machine set up for someone. Can they use their vista thunderbird profile from ubuntu somehow, or have I got to copy it over? I'm thinking something with links... | 01:48 |
| MoTec | I'm having problems writing to a windows share from ubuntu. I'm mounting it fine in my /etc/fstab. This works '//servername/share /mnt/nas cifs credentials=/etc/samba/users,uid=1000 0 0' This does not, even tho my account is in the group with gid 1004 '//servername/share /mnt/nas cifs credentials=/etc/samba/users,gid=1004,dir_mode=0775 0 0' | 01:48 |
| omn | jrib: thank very much for you help. I'll answer my own question on the forums. | 01:49 |
| jrib | omn: no problem | 01:49 |
| ev_ | bobweaver: no qt-creator pkg....? | 01:49 |
| jrib | MoTec: what does "dir_mode" do? | 01:50 |
| MoTec | jrib: supposed to set the share's permissions to that.. but it does the same thing if I leave it out. | 01:51 |
| jrib | MoTec: note dir_mode only affects directories | 01:51 |
| jrib | MoTec: what do you try to do to the share that fails exactly? | 01:51 |
| bobweaver | brb | 01:52 |
| MoTec | i can write to it if I mount it with my UID, but I need a group of people to be able to write so I was trying the GID | 01:52 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, ya there's a way.. | 01:52 |
| jrib | MoTec: I understand, can you pastebin the following: 1) you attempting to create a file (for example: touch /mnt/nas/mynewfile), the output of « ls -ld /mnt/nas », the output of « mount », and the output of « groups »? | 01:53 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, create new profiles, then copy over certail "mail" files (outbox), no need to copy over settings, just recreate the settings.. (there's also no need to use conversion programs, like exporting to .eml then re-importing it<not nec) | 01:53 |
| craigbass1976 | jagginess, GREAT! This stupid windows isntall has done something that only lets me shrink a 225g partition by 7-8 gigs, so I'm trying to conserve space. | 01:53 |
| bobweaver | ev_, sudo apt-get install qtcreator | 01:53 |
| jrib | MoTec: erm, the numbers stopped after (1), what shame D: | 01:53 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, i've done from linux<->windows, either way, but it's been quite a long while.. but it's doable.. | 01:53 |
| MoTec | jrib: I'll figure it out :) | 01:54 |
| MoTec | The numbers thing, that is. | 01:54 |
| jrib | heh | 01:54 |
| bobweaver | ev_, I just installed another kernel brb | 01:54 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, if your stuck, you can always try the free export/import tools (provided you can still run thunderbird.exe) | 01:54 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, (but that's a very slow process, and it's a plugin that has to be downloaded-- it can be problematic for certain message titles that aren't utf8) | 01:55 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, i wouldn't want to use symlinks to an ntfs drive from linux... copy the actual mail mbox files | 01:56 |
| MoTec | jrib: actually, it looks like I got it by specifying both file_mode and dir_mode in my fstab | 01:56 |
| jrib | MoTec: great | 01:56 |
| MoTec | jrib: but it's not mounting automatically after a reboot, lol.. But if I do a sudo mount -a it mounts. | 01:56 |
| craigbass1976 | jagginess, even if windows isn't going to boot anymore? I think they're only going to use it for taxes in April | 01:56 |
| jrib | MoTec: I think there's an option you can add to indicate the mount requires the network to be up | 01:57 |
| jagginess | craigbass1976, doesnt need to boot anymore :).. but it should be fine | 01:57 |
| MoTec | jrib: Ah, that's what is happening I bet.. | 01:57 |
| jrib | MoTec: I know this because there was a someone complaining the option didn't work though, so good luck :) | 01:57 |
| MoTec | jrib: heh, i'll see what I can find. | 01:57 |
| jrib | !samba | MoTec | 01:57 |
| ubottu | MoTec: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 01:57 |
| jrib | MoTec: it's probably mentioned there | 01:57 |
| omn | jrib: thanks, FYI the -L flag needs to be set on the find command to allow it to traverse the symlinks. After adding that it worked perfectly. | 01:58 |

| InferiorHuman | did you read the whole thing ? | 02:01 |
| jagginess | InferiorHuman, it's not clear.. | 02:02 |

| InferiorHuman | yea if the drive was the same size/ bigger I could do it in one command | 02:02 |
| jagginess | InferiorHuman, which is the new drive? | 02:02 |
| InferiorHuman | the 64gb ssd will be the new (empty) drive | 02:03 |

| jagginess | InferiorHuman, "The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one. " clonezilla.. so it's a bummer (clonezilla.org) | 02:06 |
| jagginess | InferiorHuman, however, there's a clonetool with ntfstools (ntfsclone i think -- but i dont know how good it is0 | 02:07 |
| jagginess | (http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsclone) | 02:07 |
| deww | seems like you can with expert mode http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/663168/topic/5125793 | 02:08 |
| InferiorHuman | someone said I could just shrink the partition to say 50gb and do dd if=/dev/sda of=/some/file bs=1M count=51200 | 02:08 |
| InferiorHuman | and then write it back obviousl | 02:09 |
| jagginess | InferiorHuman, dont bother with that for now.. you can clone ntfs.. (but beware you're likely not to boot windows anyways-- even if you fix the m$ bootloader) | 02:09 |
| InferiorHuman | why not? | 02:09 |
| jagginess | InferiorHuman, it's a waste of time to copy it to a file | 02:10 |
| InferiorHuman | yea I can copy it to the drive directly huh ? | 02:10 |
| InferiorHuman | but if I copy to file I have a backup incase anything goes wrong. | 02:10 |

| SuperMiguel | Im trying to install ubuntu, on a system running intel matrix raid 0, but i keep getting a grub install failure | 02:13 |
| SuperMiguel | any ideas? | 02:13 |
| jrib | MoTec: heh. There's also a note on that wiki page linked by ubottu but the author states that all he had to do was add credentials (it was failing on boot, but only as guest) which doesn't seem to apply to your case if my memory is right. Check bugs.ubuntu.com to see if you can find a bug about it. There may be workarounds there | 02:13 |
| MoTec | jrib: yeah, i'm specifying credentials... I bet it is a timing issue because after the boot 'mount -a' or 'mount /mnt/nas' brings it up fine. | 02:14 |

| jagginess | |Anthony|, pcbios->sector0, loads grub,->grub looks for grub.cfg-- This grub.cfg exists on a linux filesystem-- Different grub2.xx editions can exists too(and may even differ), which is why i said #fedora if you're using grub.cfg on your fedora | 03:10 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: and can you explain exactly what this does? | 03:12 |
| jagginess | |Anthony|, fdisk -l<enter> pastebin, i think you manually partitioned and left out the partition-id . | 03:12 |
| brous_000 | um.... http://pastebin.com/23gLmAsa | 03:12 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: updates download the various .deb packages and save them in the / system. Normally, that cache never gets cleaned out, thus consuming space. clean and autoremove clean out download .debs | 03:13 |
| Ademan | are there any window managers that will let you use keyboard shortcuts to focus certain windows? The concrete example here is I have two windows, one is a text editor, the other is a 3d viewport, I want to go between them with ctrl+e (let's say) and ctrl+p. | 03:13 |
| savio | help buddies | 03:13 |
| brous_000 | when i run sudo apt-get install -f it says i have insufficient space. so it's a circle... | 03:13 |
| cfhowlett | brous thus freeing up space. | 03:13 |
| savio | ank0r, bazhang ? | 03:13 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: try apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove to free up space first. | 03:14 |
| jagginess | Ademan, look in the keyboard settings (system settings) | 03:14 |
| ank0r | savio? | 03:14 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: i did, http://pastebin.com/23gLmAsa | 03:14 |
| |Anthony| | jagginess, http://pastebin.com/YNdNx9Xn | 03:14 |
| savio | ank0r, do you have any fix for it? | 03:14 |
| ank0r | I say try some other cd or pendrive bootable linux distrom | 03:14 |
| ank0r | distro | 03:15 |
| ank0r | see if it acts the same | 03:15 |
| savio | ank0r, but my windows machine works fine | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: what size is your ubunt / partition? | 03:15 |
| Ademan | jagginess: thanks but I'm pretty sure that doesn't do what I want | 03:15 |
| ank0r | the ethernet card works (it does in windows) try another distro to see if it works out of the box | 03:15 |
| jagginess | |Anthony|, /dev/sda2 shouldnt be mounted, do e2fsck /dev/sda2 | 03:15 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: how do i check because i dont remember | 03:16 |
| jagginess | |Anthony|, or fsck.ext4 | 03:16 |
| savio | ank0r, before a month ago i was using backtrack it works there | 03:16 |

| cfhowlett | brous_000: is this a wubi installation, i.e. installed via windows? | 03:18 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: yes... | 03:18 |
| savio | ank0r, there must be way | 03:18 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: wubi is a TESTING platform for trying ubuntu. It is not intended or considered a permanent installation solution. So sayeth the wubi developers...dual boot is highly recommended. | 03:19 |
| jagginess | |Anthony|, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ( I did hint twice about using mount --bind but you can try this later if boot-repair doesnt work ) | 03:19 |
| ank0r | I'm sure there is, if it worked under backtrack and windowsm savio | 03:19 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: fewer problems and more options being just 2 of the benefits of dual booting | 03:19 |
| jagginess | they should get rid of wubi.. | 03:20 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: so you're saying that i'm sort of screwed for space? | 03:20 |
| jagginess | because alot of people tend to want to get rid of windows | 03:20 |
| NetSaurio | hei | 03:20 |

| brous_000 | i agree with jagginess | 03:20 |
| |Anthony| | thank you jagginess | 03:21 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: you're only using 91% of /dev/loop0 so you should be able to update without problem. Don't know what's causing to claim no space left. Only other thing I can think of is clearing the logs, but afraid I don't know the command for that. Ask is channel | 03:21 |
| cfhowlett | !alist | 03:21 |
| brous_000 | cfhowlett: okay, so how do i update? | 03:21 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: clear the logs, reboot and attempt update. Failing that, I see no way to avoid installing dual booot. | 03:22 |
| Guest83188 | I check the syslog and it does have entries for the cron echo but I was more wondering if there is away to redirect your echo and command output to the current screen when cron executes the specific command... I thought > /dev/stdout would work but apparently standard out is not the terminal I am at ? | 03:22 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu-ar|NetSaurio: | 03:22 |
| crimsonmane | standard out is output to the window the program is running in | 03:23 |
| crimsonmane | but you should be able to pass it arguments to target a window | 03:23 |
| crimsonmane | (i haven't programmed in years upon years) | 03:23 |

| wilee-nilee | savio, run this gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and change this line adding the ipv6 notation GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash” close it and run sudo update-grub and reboot. | 03:37 |
| savio | i past messahe from dmesg | 03:37 |
| brous_000 | and there is a step that says something about a usb/live cd boot. neither of which i have | 03:37 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, what about changing sysctl.conf | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | brous_000, the instructions are straight froward follow them to the tee. | 03:38 |
| crackerjackz | cfhowlett: im on a friends computer tryin to help him out hes running linux mint sudo apt-cache update does not work.. i assumed it would since its a debain based operating system though | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | brous_000: read the tutorial. The partitions must be created already in order to migrate. | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | crackerjackz: doesn't work = ?? | 03:38 |
| Guest59763 | cpu temperature is high...what can i do? | 03:38 |
| bazhang | crackerjackz, it's apt-get, not apt-cache | 03:38 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, I don't know but I do know that this method works it tells the kernel to not use it. | 03:38 |
| brous_000 | wilee-nilee so even though it talks about sd5 sd6 and sd7 (i only have sd2) i can still do it? | 03:38 |
| crackerjackz | bazhang: oops ty for pointing that out | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | !mint|crackerjackz: best bet is to ask on #mint | 03:38 |

| cfhowlett | brous_000: you sd5 is in wubi, right? NOT GOING TO WORK! you need to partition your HDD | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | brous_000, you would change those notations to the partitons you have made ahead of time accordingly | 03:39 |

| cfhowlett | brous_000: of course, you COULD just download an ubuntu iso, burn a cdrom/usb and clean install...no migration necessary. | 03:43 |

| Areckx | it is running at 100% and I keep sudo kill 663 pkill iphone-set-info it won't goi away what is gfoing on? | 04:43 |
| Areckx | my iphone isn't even plugged into usb anymore | 04:43 |
| kbuel | you could raise the interrupt level | 04:44 |
| Areckx | xorg is also running at 60%+ | 04:44 |
| kbuel | as in kill -9 | 04:44 |
| Areckx | kbuel:: what does that do? | 04:44 |
| histo | Areckx: sudo kill -9 663 | 04:45 |
| akls | I'm using this command:"setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "us,dvorak,dvorak-l" " but I get this error: Error loading new keyboard description. This is because of dvorak-l layout. How can I get it to work? | 04:45 |
| akls | please help, this drives me crazy :\ | 04:45 |
| Areckx | histo:: what does that do? | 04:45 |
| kbuel | Areckx, kill -9 <process-id> is super kill | 04:45 |
| akls | can somebody try it on their 12.04 installation to see if it's working for them? | 04:45 |
| Areckx | kbuel:: what does that even mean? | 04:45 |
| kbuel | Areckx, it is a hard kill | 04:45 |
| Areckx | kbuel:: that isn't answering... how can you kill a process more? | 04:45 |
| Areckx | isn't kill just kill | 04:45 |
| kbuel | Areckx, basically, kill without a parameter signal to the process to close itself | 04:46 |
| histo | Areckx: no there are different interrupt levels kill by itself try's to kill the process nicely asking it to close itself | 04:46 |
| kbuel | Areckx, kill -9, informs the os to remove it from the processing stack | 04:46 |
| histo | Areckx: man kill if you want to read more about it | 04:46 |
| Areckx | oh like I see it just outright ends it | 04:47 |
| Areckx | but xorg is still at 60% what is going on? | 04:47 |
| Areckx | but why -9? | 04:47 |
| Areckx | why not -8? it seems so specific a number | 04:47 |
| kbuel | Areckx, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fow7iUaKrq4 | 04:47 |
| histo | Areckx: I can't explain every kill level to you in here if you type "man kill" in the terminal it will display the manual for it and go into more detail. | 04:48 |
| Sir_Tristan | i cannot get the side bar to load with ops and people in the channel | 04:49 |
| Areckx | the info page for kill is even more confusing, why do the creators of these processes make things so complicated? why not just sudo kill -force [PID] ??? | 04:50 |
| akls | I'm using this command:"setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "us,dvorak,dvorak-l" " but I get this error: Error loading new keyboard description. This is because of dvorak-l layout. How can I get it to work? | 04:50 |

| Areckx | I'm really trying to learn here, I don't understand why there has to be random numbers | 04:51 |

| Sir_Tristan | Can anyone help me please? | 04:52 |
| trisquel | 99 % | 04:52 |
| Areckx | I mean I'm sure there's a very specific reason why you must use random numbers instead of -force, I wanbt to know for educational reasons | 04:52 |
| trisquel | is the percentage | 04:52 |
| Sir_Tristan | Using xchat and cannot see ops or users | 04:52 |
| histo | Areckx: it's not a random number I believe it has to due with interrupt levels and devices | 04:52 |
| Areckx | why is my xorg cpu% so high? | 04:52 |
| Areckx | histo:: but how did you come up with the -9 for my question? what inductive reasoning did you use? | 04:53 |
| === Sir_Tristan is now known as lolumad | ||
| crimsonmane | Areckx: there's other numbers that apply. -9 is the "i dont give a rip who you are or what you're doing, you're shutting down" | 04:53 |
| bazhang | Areckx, its way offtopic for ubuntu support | 04:53 |
| Areckx | crimsonmane:: oh ok but where did you find that in the info page? (I like info more than man... man sounds too sweaty and smelly with muscles...) lol | 04:54 |
| Areckx | bazhang:: it's n ubunut?> package??? | 04:54 |

| Areckx | tek4:: wow that is a nasty one | 05:22 |
| tek4 | i know | 05:23 |
| tek4 | i know | 05:23 |
| Areckx | tek4:: you may need to open up and solder | 05:23 |
| tek4 | wow that big | 05:23 |
| Areckx | don't take my word for it though I hope someone can help you | 05:23 |
| tek4 | you mean a chip | 05:23 |
| Areckx | sounds like something got fried | 05:23 |
| Areckx | there may be a software workaround... you never know | 05:24 |
| tek4 | how can i test if the mothe rboard is gone | 05:24 |
| Areckx | I made myself out to sound like an expert... my dad is more into that area, I'm more of a ... newbie? lol | 05:24 |
| tek4 | cause i manage to load a update bios code | 05:24 |
| tek4 | pleazeeeee could you ask your dad | 05:25 |
| tek4 | im quite sad dont know if my info still there | 05:25 |
| Areckx | I haven't lived with him for years, and he'll tell me to go away lol | 05:25 |
| Jak_Atackka | Odds are your data is fine | 05:25 |
| Areckx | take out the hard drive and try it in another computer if you have one available, call a friend if you must | 05:25 |
| Jak_Atackka | I had an integrated graphics chip crap out and take the motherboard with it. The hard drive was intact, though | 05:26 |
| tek4 | i guess should do taht | 05:26 |
| Areckx | then at least you can get that off your worries | 05:26 |
| tek4 | ok | 05:26 |
| Areckx | but you can probably get a rerplacement chip of the same exact model and solder it in | 05:26 |
| tek4 | so if the bios is gone a new motherboard is needed | 05:26 |
| tek4 | hmmmm | 05:27 |
| tek4 | that sounds cheaper | 05:27 |
| Areckx | might be cheaper than new motherboard | 05:27 |
| WACOMalt | would anyone be willing to help me write a bash script? I'm trying to run wget for a range of URLS. basically images with incrementing numbers. | 05:27 |
| GoldStandard | I am trying to install my Canon PIXMA IP1700 but when I try to print something it says "processing" and then the task disappears. Nothing prints. | 05:27 |
| Areckx | if it is just a bios problem, there may be problems with other parts though, but you need to be bootable first | 05:27 |
| Areckx | then you can test everything else out | 05:27 |
| Areckx | try to find the technical page for your model, you can find the exaqct watt usage and voltage | 05:27 |
| tek4 | Areckx: this is a tricky one | 05:28 |

| tek4 | i did already and have a uploaded bio code into a usb | 05:28 |
| Areckx | this is the kind of stuff I got from growing up with my dad, I know words like this but not really about how to go about doing them lol | 05:28 |
| Areckx | he worked at Hewlett Packard for 20 years | 05:28 |
| tek4 | then it work then it says disk system not correct | 05:28 |
| Areckx | yeah that probably has to do with the usb | 05:29 |
| tek4 | this used to happen to me when the hd with the loading ubuntu was booting but then electriciti go off | 05:29 |
| WACOMalt | please anyone I have been trying to write this script for awhile now | 05:29 |

| Areckx | GoldStandard:: well drivers are tough, try as many solutions as you find until one works... just how it is sometimes... I know it's frustrating but ONCE you get something to work in linux it will never fail unless you change it | 05:38 |
| Areckx | or the hardware fries lol | 05:39 |
| GoldStandard | areckx ok, i'll keep looking. This is my second "solution" btw | 05:39 |
| Areckx | GoldStandard:: I really hope you find a solution. I'm trying to fix my xorg right now | 05:39 |
| GoldStandard | areckx xorg? | 05:39 |
| Areckx | GoldStandard:: yeah it keeps on hitting 60%+ cpu usage | 05:40 |
| GoldStandard | no like i dont know what it is | 05:40 |
| Areckx | and it may be due to compiz, but I need that for desktop zoom, and I think it's because of my graphics drivers | 05:40 |
| Chux | i even attached the hd as a master to another PC and it still comes up with the same "initramfs". | 05:40 |
| GoldStandard | pretty noobish to linux | 05:40 |
| Areckx | GoldStandard:: Im not sure what xorg is, really, but I'm pretty sure it's comparable to "explorer" in windows | 05:40 |
| mordonez | any other ideas? | 05:40 |
| GoldStandard | areckx gotcha | 05:41 |
| Areckx | it controls all of the graphics commands I guess | 05:41 |

| auronandace | !unity | Ascavasaion | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Ascavasaion: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 06:02 |
| Ascavasaion | auronandace: thank you!!! | 06:03 |
| Ascavasaion | !notunity | 06:03 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 06:03 |
| auronandace | Ascavasaion: 11.04 is the last release to have gnome2 | 06:03 |

| dragon_ | i kinda gotta stupid question, but im kinda new to ubuntu, well it has to do with tha task manager..... wat gives tha highest priority -10, -5, 0, 5, 10 ? ? ? ? | 07:16 |
| L3top | brous_000: Can you please start over, stating your current circumstance and what you want to do with detail. | 07:16 |
| InstantKrimson | darkdowN: have you tried running "sudo aptitude autoclean/clean"? | 07:16 |
| InstantKrimson | Autoclean removes packages that can no longer be downloaded, and Clean deletes all packages from the APT cache | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dragon_: the nice value to give maximum CPU is -20 but it will cause a tonne of stability issues | 07:16 |
| dragon_ | ok.... well i dont have -20...... jus from -10 to 10 | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dragon_: somewhere around -15 or -10 will be ok | 07:17 |
| dragon_ | ok.. kool... jus wounderin, tryin to play psx games on here wile my system was updatein, an wanted to give my game a hirer priority then tha updates | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dragon_: then you can set the nice value at runtime with the nice command, or yu can renice your own processes (or other user's with sudo) using renice | 07:19 |
| dragon_ | ok... well i dont understan anythin u jus said | 07:20 |

| dragon_ | tha only thing i could sugjest is give tha game a higher priority | 07:22 |
| frold | Is their a more specific webserver channel, I need help choosing OS for a server at a webhost company.... debian, ubuntu, CentOs | 07:22 |
| dragon_ | lol....not ubuntu unless u go with a lxde version of ubunttu or tha xfce one as well | 07:23 |
| frold | dragon_: do you speak to me? | 07:24 |
| magoo_ | well whats strange is i tried it on ubuntu studio 12.04 and the patcher works and everything but still missing some in game icons | 07:24 |
| dragon_ | yes | 07:25 |
| DJones | frold: You could ask in #ubutu-server although that will probably suggest ubuntu, for more general help, you could try #linux (may be ##linux) | 07:26 |

| deitarion | Anyone know a good repo I could add to get git 1.7.10 or newer on Precise? I'd really like to get that [include] section so ~/.profile_repo/home/.gitconfig doesn't have to stay in a partially-committed state to keep my SMTP password and GitHub secret private. | 07:45 |

| === giovanni is now known as Guest54472 | ||
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: Obviously. I'm asking whether anyone can suggest a repo (not necessarily a Launchpad PPA) that they'd recommend which contains git 1.7.10+. | 07:46 |
| Jak_Atackka | Yay, new problem | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Mikness: you set it when you make the USB, it part of unetbootin | 07:47 |
| giovanni_ | ciao | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | deitarion: the link has a search that may help you find a ppa | 07:47 |
| Jak_Atackka | Apparently my partition table is incorrect/corrupt. How would I go about regenerating this? | 07:47 |
| giovanni_ | c'è nessuno? | 07:47 |
| Treaver | Can anyone help? | 07:47 |
| giovanni_ | yes | 07:47 |
| giovanni_ | what is the problem? | 07:47 |
| Treaver | Giovanni how do I set a cursor icon theme I added to usr/share/icons as the default theme. | 07:48 |
| giovanni_ | hi | 07:48 |
| giovanni_ | i'm italian | 07:48 |

| Treaver | Because I have it changed in gnome-tweak-tool. But the original mouse is here and it switches | 07:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Treaver: have you logged off and on since changing it? | 07:48 |
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that page. I'm asking for more than just a blind search and I was hoping for something more personal than Googling to see if any trusted sites like WebUpd8 had git 1.7.10 in their PPAs. | 07:48 |
| giovanni_ | i can only try to translate to english | 07:48 |
| giovanni_ | do you use ubuntu 12.04? | 07:49 |
| Treaver | Yes I do | 07:49 |
| Treaver | Yes I have | 07:49 |
| gyre007 | why is the damn Ubuntu appending "default domain" when I run hostname -f | 07:49 |
| gyre007 | can I change it somewhere ?? | 07:50 |
| giovanni_ | wait just a second | 07:50 |
| giovanni_ | sudo mkdir /usr/share/icons/default | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | deitarion: then why not use that, you have a source.. | 07:50 |
| giovanni_ | sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme | 07:50 |
| W4sp | gyre007: Do yo have the -s switch? | 07:51 |
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: It's not always reliable and sometimes takes a while to verify trustworthiness satisfactorily. | 07:51 |
| gyre007 | W4sp, on which command or what r u talking about ? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | deitarion: the only trustworthy source are the official repos, anything else is questionable | 07:51 |
| W4sp | gyre007: hostname | 07:51 |
| giovanni_ | traver? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | deitarion: if the system is a VM then make a snapshot and test | 07:52 |
| gyre007 | im setting Ubuntu against a Chef server...and chef-client is always calling hostname -f | 07:52 |
| giovanni_ | in this file you have to write it: | 07:52 |
| giovanni_ | [Icon Theme] | 07:52 |
| giovanni_ | Inherits=tema_cursore | 07:52 |
| gyre007 | and that's appending for whatever reason "defaultdomain" bit to it | 07:52 |
| Mikness | I've been using the startup disk creator gui. didn't see any option for persistence. Is unetbootin part of that program? A different program? | 07:52 |
| MacroMan | I'm running a cron like so: 44 08 * * * /var/www/test/shell/daily.sh &> /var/www/test/var/log/daily.log | 07:52 |
| giovanni_ | tema_cursore: is the name of you theme. you have to select the name of the theme in gnome-tweak-tool | 07:53 |
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: Nope. It's my main machine. I use this 95% of the time (and my OpenPandora in the car the other 4.9% of the time). | 07:53 |
| MacroMan | Although the cron runs fine, it discards the stdout and stderr | 07:53 |
| giovanni_ | logoff and login | 07:53 |
| giovanni_ | now you have your theme | 07:53 |
| giovanni_ | c'è qualche italiano qui? | 07:54 |
| DJones | giovanni_: Its #ubuntu-it if you want support in italian | 07:56 |
| gyre007 | damn /etc/hosts file...arrrrrrgh | 07:56 |
| giovanni_ | no no | 07:56 |
| giovanni_ | i don't need support | 07:56 |
| giovanni_ | but this is my first time in IRC chat and i don't now how it works | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | deitarion: or run a full backup and go for it, or duplicate the system and test | 07:57 |
| darkdowN | yeah, i tried autoclean/autoremove/purge, everything, it doesn't know about the orphaned/removed/unsupported pkgs for 12.04 :( | 07:57 |
| darkdowN | thx tho for the advice instant/etc | 07:57 |
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: The system has too much on it for a "runnable" full backup. Most of it is manually backed up on DVD+R with only the frequently-changing 5-15GiB of the total 2.5TB getting automatic, incremental backups. | 07:58 |
| CookieM_ | http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html | 07:58 |
| giovanni_ | thanks | 07:59 |
| deitarion | Same issue prevents duplicating it. All the rest of the machines in the house combined (mine and family) barely fit the data on this one. | 07:59 |
| W4sp | gyre007: 'hostname-f' is designed to show the fully qualified domain name. You can change /etc/hosts but that can have undesired consequences. | 07:59 |
| === giovanni_ is now known as Giothebest | ||

| kroonrs | Joe1: Player, Workstation, or Server? See links from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 08:19 |
| heisenmink | zetheroo: I'd set up an rsync script with cron, otherwise there's the build in ubuntu backup setting which I haven't tried | 08:20 |
| deitarion | ActionParsnip: It was a good idea in theory, but in practice, the only response I got on #git seems to have trouble understanding why building from source and effectively becoming my own package maintainer isn't a desirable situation. | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: do the photo managers have addons, like backups? | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | heisenmink: ok, I am just having a look at the built-in solution now | 08:20 |

| stochastic | k1l, can you give any further specifics or major stability upgrades of note? | 08:57 |
| RobinJ | k1l, it can use them, clearly | 08:57 |
| k1l | stochastic: nope. see the release notes when its releases. but unity for example, got alot of updates patched back from the newer unity 6 tree | 08:58 |
| starZ | stochastic: natty is a way better.. 12.04 is all about unity which is just useless and annoying.. | 08:59 |
| hateball | stochastic: 12.04.1 is just a collection of the patches released from 12.04 up until now, so if you've been keeping up to date there is nothing special going on | 08:59 |
| hateball | stochastic: it's just a way to release new ISOs that are more up to date | 08:59 |
| k1l | stochastic: the 12.04.1 is like a servicepack1 | 08:59 |
| stochastic | hateball, okay, that does explain things a bit better | 08:59 |
| k1l | starZ: m( | 09:00 |
| k1l | stochastic: dont listen to the unity-haters | 09:00 |
| * stochastic does hate unity (hence why classic gnome and XFCE are my desktop choices) | 09:00 | |
| stephans | Hi, question: in ubuntu, how do you tell the screen saver not to engage when watching video on youtube? | 09:01 |
| k1l | stochastic: if you dont use unity anyway, why bother with goint with the 12,04? | 09:01 |
| stochastic | k1l, I'm about to write release notes for Ubuntu Studio 12.04.1 | 09:01 |
| starZ | k1l: no sorry, to say it, this unity think is just a big loss of time.. | 09:01 |
| stochastic | stephans, are you running a vanilla Ubuntu install? | 09:02 |
| starZ | k1l: ubuntu developper should focus on fixing problemes, not creating new ones.. | 09:02 |
| Newb100 | Hi folks, I am new to programing. What languages would I need to write a program for ubuntu & eindows that could interact with Bluetooth and wireless? | 09:02 |
| Eszter1 | Hi all! Can anybody send me madwifi-ng? I can't acces http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk/ and madwifi-project.org for days. And I couldn't install the old driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ because my kernel version. | 09:02 |
| stochastic | Newb100, try Python | 09:02 |
| k1l | starZ: stop the whining :/ | 09:02 |
| stephans | stochastic: yes... 12.04 with unity. | 09:02 |
| MediaWork | hi | 09:03 |
| MediaWork | ive been looking for a plain "latex" install package... on my ubuntu 10.10 | 09:03 |
| starZ | k1l: whining?? this is feedback --> user experience!! | 09:03 |
| Newb100 | stochastic, Any other languages like C++ or java | 09:03 |
| MediaWork | there doesnt seem to be one as a standalone package... or am I wrong? | 09:03 |
| k1l | starZ: nope. | 09:03 |
| k1l | !eol | MediaWork | 09:04 |
| ubottu | MediaWork: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 09:04 |
| stochastic | Newb100, yes, those will work too, but C++ will need to compile on the individual OS that you want the end program to run on | 09:04 |
| stochastic | Newb100, there's lot's of languages available | 09:05 |
| MediaWork | k1l: I also checked for this in my stil alive ubuntu 12 , and same problem | 09:05 |
| stochastic | Newb100, Python is just an easy entry point | 09:05 |
| chamunks | anyone have a puush.me alternative for ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| Newb100 | stochastic, which of the languages would have the highest functionalities? | 09:06 |
| stochastic | stephans, okay I don't believe the screensaver will be able to tell that there's a video playing through flash unless you try maximizing the video to fullscreen (maybe even then you'll be unsuccessful) | 09:06 |
| Newb100 | stochastic, I.e. is the most versatile | 09:06 |
| stephans | stochastic: ok I will try that... | 09:06 |
| stochastic | Newb100, they're all very versatile | 09:06 |
| k1l | MediaWork: you need a latex-distribution-package. there is no single-latex package | 09:06 |
| stochastic | stephans, you could also try setting a hot corner on your screen | 09:07 |
| k1l | MediaWork: like texlive | 09:07 |
| stochastic | stephans, where when you put your mouse there the screensaver will no turn on | 09:07 |
| loome | cat foo | sed '/^\s*$/d' <- what's the sed command doing? | 09:07 |
| loome | I get that ^ stands for start of line, $ is end of line... and * is a glob that matches 'everything'. Take it from here | 09:08 |
| MediaWork | k1l: as I feared, not at all very nice for small laptops - the smalles package seems to take 700MB | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | loome: i'd ask in #bash too | 09:08 |
| MediaWork | k1l: but I should have gone with pubby linux I guess | 09:08 |
| stephans | stochastic: can I do this with compiz config manager? | 09:08 |
| llutz | loome: \s is a whitespace iirc | 09:08 |
| llutz | loome: so sed removes empty lines | 09:09 |
| stochastic | stephans, I'm not 100% positive on where this function is located in Unity, I refuse to use that desktop system for various personal preferences. Try checking the help docs for that | 09:09 |
| loome | delete white space until end of line? | 09:09 |
| stephans | stochastic: ok thanks! | 09:10 |
| loome | hmm, alright. And the / after the first ' is to escape the ^, so it gets recognized as a special character, rather than '^' as a character? | 09:10 |
| k1l | !latex | MediaWork | 09:11 |
| ubottu | MediaWork: tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX | 09:11 |
| llutz | loome: no, / is start end of a regex | 09:11 |
| trrrrrrr8 | ciao | 09:12 |
| stochastic | MediaWork, I didn't catch your original question but if k1l is pointing you toward latex, you might want to check out the WYSIWYG editor by the name of Lyx at http://www.lyx.org It's in the repositories | 09:12 |
| llutz | loome: man sed explains it | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | loome: afaik, it looks like it deletes empty lines in a file, make a test file with different stuff in it and see what happens | 09:13 |
| zetheroo | not sure I get this ... in using Shotwell to organize photos ... in the program itself they are organized but not on their actual disk location. How do you get the actual files on the disk to be organized? | 09:13 |
| trrrrrrr8 | !list | 09:15 |
| ubottu | trrrrrrr8: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 09:15 |
| llutz | loome: "remove all lines with 0 to any amount of whitespaces between linestart and lineending" | 09:15 |
| mrjemp | hi | 09:16 |
| stochastic | hi mrjemp | 09:16 |
| trrrrrrr8 | ciao | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: I believe when you import, you can select to import 'in place' (leaves the data where it is) or import '<something else>' which copies the data to a central place | 09:16 |
| mrjemp | so cal 714 here | 09:16 |
| trrrrrrr8 | !list | 09:16 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok, I'll have a look | 09:17 |
| ganster | hi | 09:23 |
| josmala | I have problem compiling gtk:s helloworld in anjuta, as I couldn't seem to be able to add libraries to a project. | 09:24 |
| pie___ | where does ubuntu store the encryption key for user folders so that it decrypts on login? | 09:25 |
| pie___ | oh is that solely password based? | 09:25 |
| josmala | And it seems copy paste doesn't work from the error messages. | 09:26 |
| === JadedSwin is now known as JadedHL | ||
| JadedHL | Hi. | 09:28 |
| stochastic | hi JadedHL | 09:28 |
| JadedHL | I'm running a ubuntu lamp server and I'm wanting to install ffmpeg and flvtool2. | 09:28 |
| JadedHL | latest version | 09:28 |
| JadedHL | what's the best way to install these? | 09:29 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, do you have a GUI attached to the lamp server? | 09:29 |
| stochastic | or are you running the command line? | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: use apt-get aptitude | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: either is fine | 09:32 |
| JadedHL | command line only | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !info flvtool2 | 09:32 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, what ActionParsnip said. | 09:32 |
| ubottu | flvtool2 (source: flvtool2): a manipulation tool for flash video files. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0.6-4 (precise), package size 19 kB, installed size 172 kB | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaddie: sudo apt-get install flvtool2 | 09:32 |
| stochastic | you may need to enable the universe repositories first | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: ^ | 09:33 |
| JadedHL | which version of ffmpeg will that install? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ffmpeg | 09:33 |
| ubottu | ffmpeg (source: libav): Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package). In component main, is optional. Version 4:0.8.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 66 kB | 09:33 |
| stochastic | ActionParsnip, you'll note that your last bit of advice on flvtool2 was not seen by JadedHL as they were logged out then back in | 09:33 |
| JadedHL | hi, yeah I messaged the message about flvtool2 | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: sudo apt-get install flvtool2 (thanks stochastic) | 09:34 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, flvtool2 is in the universe repositories so you may need to manually add those repositories first | 09:34 |
| JadedHL | cheers | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: if they are not enabled, you can uncomment the lines relating to the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and then run; sudo apt-get update | 09:35 |
| JadedHL | I've just freshly installed ubuntu 12.4 server | 09:35 |
| JadedHL | hmmm, so the universe repositories are listed as | 09:36 |
| JadedHL | deb http:/****/ubuntu/ precise universe ? | 09:37 |
| rax- | can anyone tell me if there's something wrong with this? http://pasteit.com/18592 | 09:37 |
| stochastic | JadedHL you should take a read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine | 09:37 |
| JadedHL | Do I remove the command on the deb and the deb-src ? | 09:37 |
| JadedHL | stochastic: ok | 09:37 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, you may not need to edit anything, try installing flvtools2 first | 09:37 |
| stochastic | if that doesn't work then troubleshoot the repositories | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedHL: search the file for 'unuiverse' and uncomment the lines that have the word on the line | 09:38 |
| stochastic | rax- what are you trying to do??? | 09:39 |
| rax- | stochastic: just apply updates and reboot if there's a kernel update | 09:41 |
| rax- | but basically mid-download of the required files (inc kernel update) the grep section kicked in and restarted the server... before it had applied anything | 09:41 |
| rax- | like it just jumped ahead and started the if statement before completing dist-upgrade | 09:42 |
| stochastic | rax-, I see no part of that where the command is given to actually apply the upgrade | 09:44 |
| rax- | sudo apt-get -qy dist-upgrade >> /home/autopatch/patch-notes | 09:44 |
| stochastic | does that not just send the output of the command to the file? | 09:45 |
| rax- | nah it logs the process to the file | 09:45 |
| rax- | it has worked before and after I think | 09:45 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| rax- | but this was the first time it was left to run through a kernel upgrade | 09:45 |
| * stochastic is slightly rusty on bash commands | 09:45 | |
| rax- | could be a completely random fluke failure | 09:46 |
| JadedHL | flvtool2 installed fine | 09:46 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, cool, so you've got universe enabled by default | 09:46 |
| JadedHL | yes | 09:46 |
| stochastic | :) | 09:46 |
| JadedHL | I'm wanting to setup my server with something along the lines of this | 09:47 |
| JadedHL | http://linux.justinhartman.com/FFmpeg,_FFmpeg-PHP,_Lame,_Libogg,_Libvorbis,_FLVtool2,_Mplayer,_Mencoder,_AMR_Installation | 09:47 |
| stochastic | rax-, sorry but I can't explain your anomaly | 09:48 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, why? what is the purpose? personal use? | 09:50 |
| JadedHL | I'm learning php and video encoding/editing | 09:50 |
| outofctrl | .quit | 09:51 |
| mobo | hello | 09:52 |
| mobo | is there any1 in there ? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mobo: nobody at all | 09:53 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, video editing through php? | 09:53 |
| JadedHL | yeah | 09:54 |
| stochastic | that's a very strange way of video editing | 09:54 |
| JadedHL | well more making thumbnails | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaddie: can't imagemagick do that | 09:55 |
| researcher123 | how do I knwo RAM on my PC using command line? | 09:55 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, you'll note that that page you linked to doesn't use those tools in combination with the other lamp tutorials | 09:55 |
| W4sp | researcher123: You can use free or top. | 09:55 |
| neuro_sys | stochastically self-evident. | 09:55 |
| stochastic | JadedHL, it's not even designed as a guided page for lamp setup | 09:55 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| researcher123 | W4sp: thanks | 09:56 |

| stochastic | nice trick there ActionParsnip. Did JadedHL see it? | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | stochastic: no idea | 10:00 |
| stochastic | anyways I'm off to bed. g'night all | 10:01 |
| EnriqueC | en nu? | 10:05 |

| Shadow` | trying to setup svn, but tutorial says to use htpasswd2, which isnt available, and using normal htpasswd isnt working -.- | 10:20 |
| Auzy | Shadow`, You could always try Bazaar, or Mercurial.. | 10:23 |
| Auzy | Not that there is anything wrong with SVN | 10:24 |
| Auzy | SVN can be less of a pain than distributed RCS | 10:24 |
| Shadow` | we're using svn and im setting up a new dev system, however, as usual, its a pain the arse | 10:26 |
| Debolaz | God, why do people still use SVN.... | 10:27 |
| Auzy | ahh yes.. hence the rule of 3 for development.. It's actually not the development which takes 3x longer | 10:27 |
| Auzy | Whats wrong with it Debolaz.. Does the job... | 10:27 |
| * Debolaz needs to get around to writing that blog post about why SVN needs to be avoided. | 10:27 | |
| amir__ | hi | 10:28 |
| * Auzy would ask for what #1 would be.. but, its offtopic | 10:28 | |

| boshhead | How can I get rid of these "System Problem Detected" popups that come up on my screen? They are absolutely useless to me as they do not tell me what the problem is, and they just have a button that says "Report Problem", but without knowing what information I'm reporting, I'm not going to report it... | 10:28 |
| Debolaz | Auzy: You would be able to make a car move forward even if it had square wheels too, so they technically "do the job", but they're far, far from ideal for the task. | 10:28 |
| Shadow` | really awfull comparison | 10:29 |
| Shadow` | we're using SVN, and have so for like a freaking decade, not my preference either, but we're using it. stop ripping on it, it indeed does the job, it keeps track of version history, which is what its suposed to do | 10:30 |
| Ascavasaion | Which mail client is the nicest to use? I have used Evolution and it was nice. Any others you could suggest? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: depends on taste | 10:30 |
| NimeshNeema | thunderbird | 10:30 |
| NimeshNeema | Ascavasaion: | 10:30 |
| Ascavasaion | Okay, thank you :) | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: mutt, clawsmail, thunderbird, kmail are 4 I can think of quickly. Depends how much space you have for deps to install kmail | 10:31 |
| Auzy | also depends on server.. Kolab for instance integrates with some servers better | 10:31 |
| Auzy | Exchange is better with some clients, etc | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-email-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 10:32 |
| Debolaz | Shadow`: I'm not going to address the topic further in this channel. | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: i use unity-mail which tells me when I have a gmail, i can then use web mail | 10:33 |
| Shadow` | Debolaz: why on earth would u, why on earth did you bring your personal BS into this topic to begin with | 10:34 |
| Shadow` | im aware of alternative version controls | 10:34 |
| Debolaz | Shadow`: Its quite ignorant and dumb of you to say that, but if you want to have that discussion, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:35 |
| Shadow` | i ask due to stupid issue in tutorial, and you come and bring in 'why are people still using SVN' dont be a freaking child dude, geesh | 10:36 |
| yuka | got problem with fonts on linux,.. the cambria font when i put it on bold it becomes distorted and doesent show normally its just blakc line | 10:36 |
| Debolaz | Shadow`: People who use namecalling really aren't in a good position to call other people childish. | 10:37 |
| Shadow` | what namecalling? saying your childish? bwhaha, srsly grow up man | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | yuka: do you have the bold version of the font? | 10:38 |
| TheAtropos1994 | hey | 10:38 |
| Debolaz | "bwhaha"... Alright, I think that settles that debate. | 10:38 |
| yuka | yes i installed it | 10:38 |

| ActionParsnip | soundray: what GPU do you use? | 10:54 |
| === Guest84054 is now known as PiaoQianBin | ||
| soundray | ActionParsnip: I should correct myself: I get an underline cursor in the corner. Graphics is as provided by Virtualbox. It booted fine until today. | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: oh so its a virtual system? | 10:55 |
| savio | anyone | 10:55 |
| savio | help me | 10:56 |
| PiaoQianBin | virtual system is unstable | 10:56 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:56 |
| PiaoQianBin | what is your problem | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: why wasn't that in the initial question? | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | savio start with a question | 10:56 |
| soundray | PiaoQianBin: It wasn't for the past three years | 10:56 |

| savio | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1162432/ | 10:57 |
| savio | this is ifconfig paste | 10:57 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: Didn't think it mattered, because it used to work. Troubleshooting is the same as for a standalone system, isn't it? | 10:57 |
| savio | no ethernet address MonkeyDust | 10:57 |

| ActionParsnip | soundray: its virtualised hardware, not actual hardware, so its easier to tweak | 10:58 |
| savio | blackshirt, why? | 10:58 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: I sense that it doesn't even get to where graphics is relevant, though. The live CD boots fine from an iso, btw | 10:58 |

| soundray | PiaoQianBin: My virtualized Ubuntu installation ran rock-solid for three years. There is no stability problem with virtualization per se. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: have you asked in #vbox as well? | 11:02 |
| savio | but my windows box provide one for eth0 | 11:02 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: good idea, will try if your suggestions so far don't help | 11:03 |
| PiaoQianBin | soundray : if you do some experiment about network you will know that virtual box has a lot of limitation. | 11:03 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Hello everyone | 11:03 |
| blackshirt | savio, has your ethm managed by network manager? | 11:03 |
| blackshirt | Eth0 | 11:03 |
| PiaoQianBin | soundary : so that was why I was saying virtual box is not stable | 11:03 |

| TheWonderingGuru | I have been having a difficulty with my bootloader. I installed Linux Mint Debian on an external usb hard drive a couple days ago, and when I rebooted my computer the grub bootloader enters a rescue mode and won't boot up properly. Now the only way for my computer to boot up is to insert my usb and select the ubuntu studio option from the list of OS's to boot into. | 11:05 |
| PiaoQianBin | soundray : yeah yeah I surrender | 11:05 |
| rigo | why? | 11:05 |
| TheWonderingGuru | Does anyone know how to solve my problem? | 11:06 |
| soundray | PiaoQianBin: I don't doubt that there are issues like you describe, but they aren't at the source of my problem today. I just can't boot after I upgraded the kernel with apt-get. | 11:06 |
| rigo | i would like to ask. | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | TheWonderingGuru this is the ubuntu channel, not debian | 11:06 |
| PiaoQianBin | soundray : what is your major?? | 11:06 |
| TheWonderingGuru | No duh. | 11:06 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I am using ubuntu studio and now my bootloader is gone. | 11:07 |

| MonkeyDust | TheWonderingGuru nor is it the mint channel | 11:07 |
| soundray | PiaoQianBin: medicine | 11:07 |
| TheWonderingGuru | I am saying that the only way to boot up is to insert the usb drive and select ubuntu from the list of distros to boot into. | 11:07 |
| Dmitry` | TheWonderingGuru, there is a linuxmint-debian channel in spotchat | 11:08 |

| ActionParsnip | shlafrock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Lizard_: are you fully updated? | 11:55 |
| Lizard_ | Nop, y avoid to update from this last update | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Lizard_: it may help | 11:55 |
| BluesKaj | that dual gpu setup on those optimus laptops is a dumb Idea ...whynot justone gpu with differnt power levels | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: exactly | 11:56 |
| Lizard_ | Okay, then I have to expand my disc first | 11:56 |
| TJ- | BluesKaj: Because of the manufacturing process | 11:56 |

| TJ- | BluesKaj: You can either have fast hot transistors, or slow cool ones, but its hard to have both processes on the same die. Nvidia and TMSC have been able to achieve that recently for their Tegra 3 chipset. | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | TJ-, probly $$$$ tho :( | 11:58 |
| Lizard_ | Somebody is happenning that a window come white on restore, and back to normality on resize? | 11:58 |
| TJ- | Blue1: No, just a very difficult process to achive for volume production, but TMSC is making progress on it | 11:59 |
| TJ- | oops... | 11:59 |

| glauco29 | It is looking good | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: you will upgrade to the minor release seamlessly | 12:26 |
| abdelghani_ | sorry sorry it's red again | 12:26 |
| blackshirt | glauco29, greats | 12:26 |
| glauco29 | I was using Fedora | 12:26 |
| Niarf | nop 12.04.1 is the first release of precise you must use if you upgrade from lucid | 12:26 |
| loganrun | what is the boot load ubuntu uses? I don't see grub on my system | 12:27 |
| glauco29 | but Ubuntu seems simpler, It is complete for me xD | 12:27 |
| iceroot | loganrun: grub2 | 12:27 |
| abdelghani_ | ActionParsnip: sorry man it's red again | 12:27 |
| glauco29 | what is the diference between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? | 12:27 |
| iceroot | glauco29: see "man apt-get" | 12:28 |
| Niarf | upgrade will update your kernel | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | abdelghani_: do you have the file /var/run/reboot-required ? | 12:28 |
| centrelink | glauco29: update updates the apt database, and upgrade installs package updates | 12:28 |
| iceroot | glauco29: update is updating the packages list, upgrade is installing new packages | 12:28 |
| iceroot | glauco29: there is also dist-upgrade | 12:28 |
| no-n | ActionParsnip: hrm. after I logged out and logged back in, nothing happened, just the desktop background... (and that's not the first time) so I sent the shutdown signal and turned the pc back on (and got a blank screen like I do because I haven't set my grub resolution properly yet), but then it took forever to log in, I thought it was maybe doing a disk check but it seemed to long, so I sent the shutdown signal again. and now that I'ved tur | 12:28 |
| no-n | ned it on again its logged in and thunar is behaving | 12:28 |
| MonkeyDust | glauco29 update syncs with the repos, upgrade well, upgrades your software | 12:28 |
| no-n | ActionParsnip: same problem also happened with pcmanfm | 12:28 |
| abdelghani_ | ActionParsnip: i don't know what's that | 12:29 |
| no-n | ActionParsnip: so I don't think it is just thunar. anyway, I was able to empty the trash despite th padlocks... this is all seriously weird | 12:29 |

| glauco29 | when I go update my ubuntu, I have to use both commands or just apt-get update | 12:29 |
| glauco29 | ? | 12:29 |
| MonkeyDust | glauco29 no, both | 12:30 |
| anotheruser | update just update the list of packages | 12:30 |
| anotheruser | you have to use upgrade or dist-upgrade to actually do anything | 12:30 |
| blackshirt | glauco29 what both command you mean? | 12:30 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest50949 | ||
| glauco29 | update and upgrade | 12:30 |
| blackshirt | Glauco29, if you familiar with yum, you should not confused with apt system | 12:31 |
| iceroot | glauco29: you have to use "sudo apt-get update && sudpo apt-get dist-upgrade" to fetch all security updates | 12:31 |
| MonkeyDust | glauco29 lie i said, update is to synchronize your pc with the repos | 12:31 |
| blackshirt | Yum adopt apt's benefits | 12:31 |
| iceroot | blackshirt: ubuntu is not using yum, please dont suggest that | 12:31 |

| glauco29 | this I know rs | 12:32 |
| loganrun | in my boot partition I see files bootmgr and System Volume Information, does not look like grub | 12:32 |
| iceroot | glauco29: and for the security updates use my dist-upgrade command i posted | 12:33 |
| glauco29 | ok | 12:33 |
| glauco29 | sorry to bother you | 12:33 |
| blackshirt | no k11, the guys was using yum before (fedora) | 12:33 |
| iceroot | glauco29: you are welcome | 12:33 |
| iceroot | blackshirt: and ubuntu dont have yum, so dont confuse him | 12:33 |
| loganrun | ahh looks like it has the boot folder in my root partition, found grub I think | 12:34 |
| blackshirt | i dont mean yum for ubuntu | 12:34 |

| sileni | hello everyone | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | yashas: try: ssh -vv username@localhost | 13:53 |
| sileni | I seem to write to /etc/hosts and then after reboot the changes are lost. | 13:53 |
| technodict | gartral the sd card should be moutned or unmounted to perform sudo fdisk -l ? | 13:53 |
| sileni | has anyone run into this situation? I'm working with xubuntu 11.10 | 13:53 |
| gartral | technodict: mounted for the check | 13:54 |
| auronandace | !hostname | sileni | 13:54 |
| ubottu | sileni: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 13:54 |
| yashas | ActionParsnip: still refused at the last debug step | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sileni: is the file system mounted writable (updates install etc) | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | yashas: is the service listening? | 13:54 |
| technodict | the sd card is inserted but i cant see in df -h | 13:55 |
| gartral | technodict: then unmount it with sudo umount /media/<card name> Hint: the card should come up if you hit tab where <card name> goes | 13:55 |
| sileni | ActionParsnip: what does htis have to do with hostname? I'm able to write to the filesystem so It is writable | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sileni: how are you adding to the file? | 13:55 |
| sileni | vi | 13:55 |
| yashas | No | 13:55 |
| sileni | sudo vi /etc/hosts | 13:55 |
| yashas | its not listening | 13:55 |
| gartral | technodict: again, sudo fdisk -l | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yashas: is it installed? | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sileni: ok are yu trying to change your hostname, or are you adding an extra entry in /etc/hosts | 13:56 |
| sileni | I'm trying to add an extra entry to /etc/hosts | 13:56 |
| technodict | there seem to be a problem,.. i ll log back in.. thank you guys! | 13:56 |
| yashas | after ssh connect: needpriv 0, it showing connecting to localhost and connection refused | 13:56 |

| republic | it is all because after I updated my system | 13:58 |

| ActionParsnip | yashas: what is the output of: whoami | 13:59 |
| yashas | ActionParsnip: the usrname i used is hadoop | 13:59 |

| OY1R | q: Sometimes when i change volume, and especially when i use the scroll wheel the Rhythmbox and totem movie player crash. | 13:59 |
| sileni | ActionParsnip: just curious, what is the difference between that and just writing through vi? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yashas: if you run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server does it say it is already installed? | 14:00 |
| yashas | ActionParsnip: a sec | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sileni: its how you can add to text files using a one shot command line, rather than messing with text editors | 14:00 |

| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, Basic segementation is a rule that most security focused folks follow | 15:14 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, =) | 15:14 |
| Sokel | capitaninsaneoh: It's not hard to setup rules for specific ports and not leaving your server wide open. That's like saying I should disable selinux because a program can't access the required files. | 15:14 |
| skulltip | unity 2d - how do i change it so when i have a mouse over another window, it raises up? i grow tired of having to click in another window to raise it since I can't access the titlebar of that window to raise it.. | 15:15 |

| craigbass1976 | I'm trying to make a bootable usb drive, and I'm guessing it's not as simple as copying the ISO over... | 15:15 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, nope its not the same at all. A firewall would add an additional layer of defense on the network. Putting it outside ... weakens the security of your system | 15:15 |
| Sokel | MoteC: Make sure you chmod +x on /etc/rc.local. It'll help you out. | 15:15 |
| Sokel | capitaninsaneoh: DMZ means it's wide open. Good on ya, Jim. | 15:16 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, Doesn't in this case | 15:16 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, that term is nebulous | 15:16 |
| Sokel | Yeah. Right. lol Keep telling yourself that. | 15:16 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, OK. Thanks for your "help" | 15:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Aha... unetbootin. Am I going to be able to use this stick as regular storage after this process? | 15:17 |
| Sokel | Hey, you're the one who wants a DMZ and thinks it's "secure" lol. | 15:18 |
| capitaninsaneoh | Sokel, What is your point? GO somewhere else if you want a debate | 15:18 |
| Sokel | The point is: Don't be stupid. | 15:19 |

| kantlivelong | is there a way to get nvidia 304.37 drivers on 12.04 without all of xedgers? | 15:19 |
| auronandace | theadmin: i've never really understood what that has to do with computers | 15:20 |
| theadmin | auronandace: Basically it's a setting on a router that redirects all incoming requests to your public IP, on all ports, to a specific computer on the LAN | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | kantlivelong: you can use the updates PPa rather than edgers itself | 15:21 |
| kantlivelong | ActionParsnip: oh.? | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kantlivelong: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kantlivelong: less fresh, more stable | 15:21 |
| kantlivelong | ActionParsnip: ah thx.. didnt realize it was in swat | 15:21 |
| kantlivelong | was going insane :) | 15:22 |
| auronandace | theadmin: oh, i was thinking of something like ground boudaries such as no-mans-land, why do they call that router setup a DMZ? | 15:22 |
| theadmin | auronandace: I haven't the slightest idea. | 15:22 |
| kantlivelong | auronandace: when switching from edgers to swat how do i ensure it uses the older packages? | 15:22 |
| kantlivelong | becuase the version in edgers i would imagine is higher | 15:23 |
| auronandace | kantlivelong: sorry, i don't use ppas | 15:23 |

| MoTec | Sokel: just putting mount -a in my rc.local did the trick. I'm back on track, I think! | 15:42 |
| MoTec | Does NFS allow unix style permissions? I mean, if I use a NFS share on a remote server as my users home folders can I set appropriate permissions? I know I can't with samba/cifs | 15:42 |
| llutz | MoTec: youcan | 15:44 |
| bekks | MoTec: Depends on the NFS host. A unix host will allow it. | 15:44 |
| iceroot | MoTec: if i am correct samba/cifs is not the reason but the filesystem itself the file is stored | 15:44 |
| MoTec | It's a Windows Storage Server 2008.. I guess I experiement and find out.. :) | 15:44 |
| iceroot | MoTec: windows will use ntfs which cant hold posix acls | 15:44 |
| iceroot | MoTec: doesnt matter if you use nfs, cifs or something else | 15:45 |
| MoTec | NTFS is POSIX complaint.. Oh ,maybe not for ACLS, tho. | 15:46 |
| MoTec | just naming, links, and timestamps | 15:46 |
| iceroot | MoTec: yes, the acls will not mapped on ntfs | 15:46 |
| iceroot | MoTec: and hardlinks are also not supported if i am correct | 15:47 |
| MoTec | hard links are, from what i'm readying.. but acl are not | 15:47 |

| johonunu | hi everyone! Can someone give me a tutorial for installing ubuntu on btrfs ? thanks :) | 15:50 |
| swinchen | exit | 15:50 |
| iceroot | johonunu: brtfs is not stable | 15:50 |
| iceroot | johonunu: if you dont know how to install a system with that then i would say you dont want it | 15:50 |
| auronandace | MoTec: why on earth would you put /home on ntfs? | 15:50 |
| johonunu | iceroot: i am using ubuntu for over 3 years, but haven't tried it ever | 15:51 |
| theadmin | MoTec: No, permissions will be a huge issue | 15:51 |
| iceroot | MoTec: 1. /home does not have POSIX ACLS by default 2. /home with nfs is a bad idea (mostly because nfs is doing a lot of locking) | 15:51 |
| johonunu | iceroot: and i have to write papers about it | 15:51 |
| MoTec | auronandace: my MAS has six TB of storage.. centralized backup.. built in redundancy.. | 15:51 |
| auronandace | MoTec: why ntfs? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | johonunu: you have to write papers on something you have no idea how to install, and have no chance of managing | 15:52 |
| ikonia | that doesn't sound a good thing to do, especially on an unsable file system | 15:52 |
| MoTec | auronandace: it's a Windows Storage Server. | 15:52 |
| johonunu | ikonia: i would do it in virtualbox | 15:52 |
| ikonia | that doesn't change anything | 15:52 |
| auronandace | MoTec: as others have already told you /home on ntfs is a bad idea | 15:52 |
| MoTec | Yeah.. I read that. I was just answering your questions | 15:53 |
| iceroot | MoTec: remove windows and place GNU/Linux there for a real storage system | 15:53 |
| MoTec | iceroot: thank you for your useless suggestion. | 15:53 |
| maocheia | I need to boot off an SD card (installed Fedora on it with unetbootin), but my BIOS doesn't recognize it at bootup. I'm thinking Grub might be my only way of doing this. Google shows me ways to do this with Grub 1, but not Grub 2. Anyone know how to add an option for an SD card to the Grub 2 menu? | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | MoTec you create a separate ntfs partition, that you can share between lin and win | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | could create* | 15:53 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: ntfs is bad for /home | 15:53 |
| roasted | hi | 15:54 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot i don't mean /home | 15:54 |
| auronandace | MoTec: why not use a seperate storage partition? | 15:54 |
| MoTec | I will end up installing samba on the linux box and integrating it with my active directory and mapping to it from the windows clients, I guess.. I was going to be a different drive letter on the nas anyway. | 15:54 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: ah ok | 15:54 |
| MoTec | auronandace: i could i guess.. but i wanted it on the Windows NAS.. And I wouldn't know what other filesystem to use other than NTFS. | 15:54 |
| roasted | has anybody ever experienced ultra slow samba transfers before? I've used samba for years with very good success, but just now I tried to push 210MB to my 12.04 laptop and it's giving me an ETA of 2 HOURS... Happens with both OSX and Win systems when connected to my laptop. The OSX and Win systems on the other hand can connect very speedy without Linux. | 15:55 |
| iceroot | MoTec: on windows i guess you only can use ntfs, everything else is not stable | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: have you played with socket options? | 15:55 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: I have not. I've never needed to. Things were always very fast. | 15:55 |
| iceroot | MoTec: but maybe the server has buildin ext drivers which are stable? | 15:55 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: I thought at first it was due to my encrypted home dir, but I created a samba share on my root, which isn't encrypted, and it's the same thing there. | 15:56 |
| bkc_ | roasted: how's the laptop connected to the network? | 15:56 |
| roasted | bkc_: cat5e cable in between the system. No external access. | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: try some different options, may help | 15:56 |
| roasted | bkc_: I'm just trying to do a massive file transfer between the two systems. Nothing more. | 15:56 |
| MoTec | iceroot: I think I'm just going to do it 'backwards' from what I originally wanted.. And install full samba on the ubuntu server. And then authenticate it against my active directory.. And share the appropriate home directroies so they can be accessed from windows workstations. | 15:56 |
| erictr1ck | so i have a font given to me from a mac user that i have to use in gimp. i cant figure out how to install it. on the mac machine the file type is coming up as PostScript Type 1 outline font. Am I able to use this in ubuntu somehow? | 15:56 |
| roasted | 7KB a second for some of these folders I need to transfer is giving me quotes of DAYS to complete | 15:57 |
| iceroot | MoTec: samba4? | 15:57 |
| auronandace | MoTec: what do you put on the /home partitions that you need access to them from windows? | 15:57 |
| iceroot | MoTec: because samba4 can auth against AD (and also be an AD itself) | 15:57 |
| auronandace | MoTec: i just don't get why you can't just save a whole lot of bother and use a seperate storage partition | 15:58 |
| MoTec | auronandace: it's files transfered from vendors.. they were using ftp but for hipaa compliance i'm switching that to sftp. | 15:58 |
| MoTec | iceroot: and yeah, samba4. | 15:58 |
| MoTec | auronandace: seperate storage partition where? | 15:58 |
| iceroot | MoTec: hmmm samba4 in a production system... i dont know if that is a good idea | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | MoTec better do that on a separate partition | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | erictr1ck: try copying it into your /home/username/.fonts directory and restart gimp | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: try: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384 in /etc/samba/smb.conf there will be a line similar, just add the extra options | 15:59 |
| MoTec | seperate partition on the ubuntu server.. i could do that, i guess. | 15:59 |
| iceroot | MoTec: use a local /home and mount in /home/username/storage the specific partition you want | 15:59 |
| Lartza | I am trying to create a user that can acess sftp through openssh's built in one, but not ssh in or access other folders than his homefolder | 15:59 |
| auronandace | MoTec: there is no hard and fast rule that says you must absolutely use /home as a storage partition | 15:59 |
| MonkeyDust | MoTec that can be read by both lin and win, so ntfs | 15:59 |
| Lartza | Assigning the user to /bin/false seems to also make sftp not work | 15:59 |
| malkavian | Hi all. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and have static noise, when using microphone. May be anyone know possible solution? | 16:00 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust +1 | 16:00 |
| MoTec | auronandace: yeah, i actually had their home folders on my samba share but had permission issues. | 16:00 |
| iceroot | Lartza: there is a special login-shell for sftp | 16:00 |
| genii-around | Dr_Willis: Might need to xset fp rehash | 16:00 |
| auronandace | MoTec: yeah, you don't put /home on ntfs | 16:00 |
| iceroot | Lartza: cant remeber the name, there you can only use sftp and nothing else (maybe see man ssh) | 16:00 |
| erictr1ck | Dr_Willis: just copied over, the font doesnt register :( | 16:01 |
| Dr_Willis | erictr1ck: try a xset fp rehash, or perhaps log out/back in. | 16:02 |
| MoTec | auronandace: yeah, so it's all the same issue.. i'll just share the home folders from ubuntu instead of putting them on the NAS | 16:02 |

| theadmin | Phaba: Oh, /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc are what you're looking for. | 16:17 |
| theadmin | Phaba: Or maybe /etc/rc.local. Explain better. | 16:18 |
| theadmin | Hubbe: Uhm, "net users" is a Windows command. This channel doesn't provide Windows support. | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Hubbe: try su-ing to the user and use the new pass | 16:19 |

| Cheekio | The "Something else" installation option has confounded me, despite having more than once dual-booted | 16:25 |
| Cheekio | I have my Win7 partition, which appears to be /dev/sda2 | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | somthing else = 'you have control' | 16:26 |
| theadmin | Phaba: Yes. If the package you're building is in the repos, use apt-get build-dep | 16:26 |
| Phaba | theadmin, that when installing not building works fine, just when building from source asks for aload of libs, i have no idea about pkg_config tho | 16:26 |
| Cheekio | Free space, and then the /dev/sda4, which is just storage | 16:26 |
| morning | TJ- and others: I'm reporting back on the problem "wireless disabled by hardware switch" I brought here a few days ago. It turned out to be a hardware issue after all. The switch was good, but swapping out the motherboard and an internal cable fixed the problem. Thanks again for your help. Best wishes. | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | win7 also often has a boot type partition at the start of the disk. (sda1) | 16:26 |

| marioand23 | hola a todos | 16:27 |

| Dr_Willis | best to put it in a usb enclosure | 16:32 |
| Cheekio | So I have a win7 partition at /dev/sda2 (and accompanying boot volume at /dev/sda1), a bunch of free space, and a file storage partition at /dev/sda4. How do I install Ubuntu in this free space? | 16:32 |
| Cheekio | I'm at the "Something Else" option, but the options available are seemingly limited | 16:33 |
| theadmin | Cheekio: Make a partition there. Extended one. Then inside that a / (ext4) and a swap | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Cheekio: you want to keep the files in the filestorage arees? | 16:33 |
| Cheekio | Yes | 16:33 |
| Cheekio | I do want to keep those files | 16:33 |
| kenichi | why would a fresh 12.04LTS install close connections 0 - 30 secs after they are opened regardless of port? | 16:33 |
| morning | marioand23: De nada. | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Cheekio: you do have backups? | 16:34 |
| Cheekio | The drive is pretty empty | 16:34 |
| ksbalaji_ | Dr_Willis: I tried to do something with testdisk and it has become troublesome. I had to remove it physically to let livecd boot up. | 16:34 |
| Cheekio | It's a relatively fresh install of everything | 16:34 |
| Cheekio | So yes. I haven't moved most of my stuff over to the new drive yte. | 16:34 |
| kenichi | any ideas on what i could look at? the various daemon logs show nothing | 16:35 |
| jaxdahl | i'm on 12.04 and passing -v or --verbose to the 'time' command such as 'time -v ./a.out' does not work, it says '-v command not found', running 'time ./a.out' works perfectly | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Cheekio: id move it all to the windows drive. then just in case. ;) | 16:35 |
| ksbalaji_ | Dr_Willis: what is a hdd usb enclosure please? | 16:35 |
| Cheekio | I have literally 100 gigs sectioned out for an ubuntu partition | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ksbalaji_: a box you put a hd in to turn it into a usb hd. | 16:36 |
| bdl | ciao | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Cheekio: is it unallocated? | 16:36 |
| Cheekio | Yes | 16:36 |
| Cheekio | it is unallocated | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | should be an option to use it in the installer.. | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | or make a extended in it. and a logical for / and a logical for swap | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | then tell the installer to use those | 16:37 |
| Cheekio | Wow | 16:37 |
| Cheekio | that was weird | 16:37 |
| Cheekio | alright | 16:37 |

| spartan2276 | When changing the network settings inferface should Ubuntu always ask for a password? | 17:00 |

| K4k | and it appears to only behave this way when I'm ssh'd as the user for whom is chroot'd to /other/dir | 17:02 |
| usr13 | spartan2276: It logs you into your GUI interface without password? | 17:02 |
| nbastin | is there an update-manager that is cmdline only? | 17:03 |
| spartan2276 | usr13: I'm referring to my network interface or network manager | 17:03 |
| Moonlightning | nbastin: I know at least that if you `apt-get install` a package that's already installed, it will update it to the latest version. | 17:04 |
| Moonlightning | And there's also `apt-get upgrade` and `apt-get dist-upgrade` | 17:04 |
| usr13 | spartan2276: Oh. Well, even that is just for local use. Right? | 17:04 |
| spartan2276 | usr13: it use to ask me for my password every time I wanted to modify my network connections but for some reason now it does not | 17:04 |
| TJ- | nbastin: "sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get new packages | 17:04 |
| EDinNY | nbastin, try "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get upgrade" to update with command line | 17:04 |
| nbastin | the prolem with apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade is they won't update to 12.10 | 17:04 |

| EDinNY | YES | 17:06 |
| EDinNY | 12.04 came out in April... | 17:06 |
| usr13 | spartan2276: Certainly your system is still password protected. You can test that by going into a console terminal to log in. | 17:06 |
| TJ- | nbastin: Do "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" first | 17:07 |
| Moonlightning | So that's why they skip a bunch of minors all the time? XD | 17:07 |

| kwyjibo | usr13: yes. and gnome has this HUD thing always popping up at the bottom, suggesting i eject the sdcard. very intrusive | 17:25 |
| betArk | Goldwing: but does this mean that my swap isnt working at all? | 17:25 |
| Goldwing | looks like it, yes | 17:25 |
| betArk | Goldwing: hmm.. damm? | 17:25 |
| usr13 | kwyjibo: Ok then. My suggestion would be to use the 32G for /home/ the 16G for / | 17:26 |
| Goldwing | with 8gb... i wouldnt worry to much | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: 16Gb, sounds a lot | 17:26 |

| betArk | Goldwing: yes, but have created the swap also for hibernate etc. | 17:27 |
| Goldwing | betArk : do a "cat /etc/fstab" and paste the swap line | 17:27 |

| ActionParsnip | bekor: run the command and copy the output. go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there, when the page changes, copy the url in the menu bar and paste it here | 17:28 |
| GoldStandard | Anyone know where apt-get download puts the downloaded files? | 17:29 |

| Goldwing | yea | 17:32 |
| Goldwing | you have 2 swap partitions | 17:32 |
| Goldwing | ./dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 | 17:32 |
| racha | bekor, IIRC, you highlight text and it's automatically copied | 17:33 |

| wasutton3 | which channel should i go to to find support for rhythmbox | 17:35 |
| kwyjibo | usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163045 | 17:35 |
| Goldwing | well, for ubuntu, swap is swap, and because you are using a encrypted LVM ubuntu will use the cryptswap and not the regular swap. therefore you get the error on the regular swap while booting | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | chamunks: you can use the '-y' option | 17:37 |

| betArk | Goldwing: or see if it is mounted? | 17:40 |
| Goldwing | you would need to fill up the RAM to test the swap | 17:40 |

| W4sp | azrael_romel: You can use 'Empathy', which should have been installed by default. IT can be used for Yahoo!, MSN, Jabber and other services. | 17:41 |
| uskerine | so why should it have same traffic than eth0 | 17:41 |

| usr13 | tziemann_: Building a NAT router is a good way to learn IPTABLES. Using Ubuntu is a good way to learn Ubuntu, (spending time experimenting). There are lots of websites that you can learn from too. | 17:43 |
| llutz | racha:rsync --delete might do what you want, i doubt tar can do | 17:43 |
| chamunks | ActionParsnip, thanks | 17:43 |
| === codingenesis is now known as Guest8672 | ||
| racha | Thanks, llutz, I'll give that a try. | 17:43 |
| tziemann_ | usr13: I work with a NAT router, but have enver built one. Any suggestions? | 17:44 |
| W4sp | racha: You may evaluate rsync. You can configure rsync so that files no longer available in <src> are removed from <target>. That's the way I understand your requirements, that is. | 17:45 |
| uskerine | can ubuntu one be stopped/started like a service in a multi-user environment | 17:45 |
| uskerine | ? | 17:45 |
| uskerine | like enable or disable for all user | 17:45 |
| uskerine | like enable or disable for all users | 17:45 |
| uskerine | (via console) | 17:45 |
| racha | W4sp, I think that's what I mean. If file1 and file2 are in a directory, but only file1 is in the backup, when I restore I want file2 to be removed. | 17:46 |
| Kircle | I'm trying to get the sound to work with an emulator. It's set to use OSS for the sound but in Terminal it gives me 'SPU: open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY): No such file or directory' | 17:46 |
| betArk | Goldwing: seems to be working now! Thanks! I see the correct swap line in /etc/crypttab.. so maybe the installer or I did something wrong? | 17:46 |
| racha | So that when I mess up installing stuff I don't have old files kicking around | 17:46 |
| tziemann_ | betArk: Hishnakoya? | 17:46 |
| usr13 | tziemann_: If you have an unused PC and about 3 network cards, you can build a NAT router. | 17:46 |

| usr13 | newb2linux: Because it is Linux. | 18:26 |
| Moonlightning | newb2linux: because Windows is still the most popular, so most malware is written for Windows? | 18:26 |
| jhourani | ok so no graph-database experience in here/. | 18:26 |
| Moonlightning | Linux is also more secure, I think. | 18:26 |
| lordievader | newb2linux: There are some, however since 98% still runs windows, it isn't efficient for virus writers to make linux virusses. | 18:26 |
| usr13 | Moonlightning: Not exactly. It is because Linux is different, and not vulnerable. | 18:27 |
| lordievader | What is the market share of linux nowadays? | 18:27 |
| usr13 | lordievader: Pretty big. | 18:27 |
| usr13 | very big. | 18:27 |
| Persona24 | usr13: Did they like take package manager off in 12.04? >.> I can't find it | 18:27 |
| iceroot | lordievader: of course it would be efficient to write viruses for GNU/Linux because on most systems there is linux running (just not on desktop systems) | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | lordievader, unknown, | 18:27 |
| lordievader | usr13: How many percent roughly? | 18:28 |
| iceroot | lordievader: smartphones, routers, server, embedded systems, everything running linux with more or less the same kernel | 18:28 |
| usr13 | virus problems are not our concern, not a threat. Just leave it at that. | 18:28 |

| L3top | effective virus targets | 18:29 |
| usr13 | L3top: What? | 18:29 |
| L3top | It is difficult at best to write viruses for a secure OS. The reason they are all written for windows is because it is easily exploited. | 18:29 |
| lordievader | L3top: Yes in that way, linux does have quite a share, in servers and what not. | 18:29 |

| Moonlightning | L3top: I'm trying to get battery status. | 18:50 |
| darkham | to upgrade mesa drivers on ubuntu 10.04 | 18:50 |
| jotek | Can someone tell me some light programs that will change my actually used? | 18:50 |
| Moonlightning | As much information as the system can provide, but even just percent remaining will be fine. | 18:50 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, thanks | 18:50 |
| W4sp | jotek: Your RAM seems to be a bit on the lower end and I suggest to upgrade it. There's also Lubunu with even less hardware requirements than Xubuntu. Also, Firefox is a heavyweight. Consider a different browser. Do not blindly uninstall packages. | 18:50 |
| knyn | jotek: ? | 18:51 |
| jotek | W4sp: Lubuntu works worst than Xubuntu here. | 18:51 |
| glauco29 | guy | 18:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikato, no problem the something else option is on the where you want ubuntu gui on the install. | 18:51 |
| L3top | Moonlightning: you can install acpi | 18:51 |
| L3top | and get status for many things in terminal | 18:52 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, I'll try using another usb on this one | 18:52 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: I've tried installing acpitool, acpid, and kacpimon, but I still don't have an `acpi` program. | 18:52 |
| glauco29 | when I start one download on Firefox, my internet speed go very slow, why it? | 18:52 |
| W4sp | jotek: That's unusual. If you have to run application 'Example' there'a probably not much difference anyway. | 18:52 |
| L3top | Moonlightning: what version ubuntu are you on? | 18:52 |
| neta | hi, can someone help me with stardict- i can't use the dictionarys i downloaded | 18:52 |
| L3top | !info acpi | 18:52 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: 12.04.1-LTS | 18:52 |
| ubottu | acpi (source: acpi): displays information on ACPI devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6-1 (precise), package size 12 kB, installed size 69 kB (Only available for i386; ia64; amd64; mips; mipsel) | 18:52 |
| L3top | sudo apt-get install acpi Moonlightning | 18:53 |
| jotek | W4sp: can I change my startup programs list in any way? | 18:53 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: package-not-available error | 18:53 |
| L3top | Moonlightning: then something is wrong with your sources.list. It is right there in universe | 18:53 |
| W4sp | glauco29: You would need to check if the connection to the source is fast. Try an alternative hast, if possible. | 18:54 |
| jotek | W4sp: I dont need "Blueman" for example. | 18:54 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, is fat32 a good idea for an 8GB USB? | 18:54 |
| glauco29 | alternative hast, what is 'hast'? W4sp | 18:54 |
| W4sp | glauco29: Also, there are speedtests available. However, they are often inconclusive and aim to lure you into a new ISP contract. Beware. | 18:55 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: okay, how do I fix it? | 18:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, For loading the ISO only yes for a full install no. | 18:55 |
| Moonlightning | glauco29, W4sp: best speed test is to download a large file. ;) | 18:55 |
| glauco29 | on Windows I can download on firefox and access web normally, on ubuntu it goes slow | 18:55 |
| digikwondo | hi foks, having trouble converting dmg image file to iso/img through dmg2img i get "error:inflation failed" what do i try now? | 18:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, Your wording on the 16 gig suggested a full install is that what you want? | 18:55 |
| W4sp | jotek: You're at the low end with your hardware, memory is crucial for performance. | 18:56 |
| glauco29 | I am not talking about my internet connection | 18:56 |
| L3top | Moonlightning: can you please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list and also the output of ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 18:56 |
| glauco29 | about ubuntu when I am downloading a file | 18:56 |
| glauco29 | at least on firefox | 18:56 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: okay, hang on… | 18:56 |
| glauco29 | I get page not found if I try access while downloading | 18:57 |
| W4sp | glauco29: I see, please change the browser to isolate the issue then. | 18:57 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, I have 2 USBs. 8GB and 16GB. I'm working off the 16 temporarily right now. (Want to be able to operate my system off of either stick while my SSD is getting repaired) | 18:57 |
| glauco29 | ok W4sp, I will try it later | 18:57 |
| W4sp | glauco29: 'Page no found' is error 404 and has nothing to do with your download link. | 18:57 |
| glauco29 | reload do solve | 18:57 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, so, I'm using the 16 to install on the 8, and vice versa | 18:57 |
| usr13 | glauco29: Try wget | 18:57 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, make sense? | 18:58 |
| glauco29 | how can I use wget usr13? | 18:58 |
| W4sp | glauco29: Yeah, wget or curl. | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, a full install correct? | 18:58 |
| usr13 | glauco29: Choose "Copy Link Location" and use wget | 18:58 |
| glauco29 | wget or curl to download a file? | 18:58 |
| Mikness | yes? I believe I already have the ISO on each drive | 18:59 |

| Cong | usr13, I the icon from the top bar is missing. | 19:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, did you choose the something else option from the booted ISO usb after hitting the install start? | 19:04 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, chose Ext4 journaling file system | 19:04 |
| xangua | !panels | Cong | 19:04 |
| ubottu | Cong: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 19:04 |
| trism | Moonlightning: there may be other ways, do you have upower? | 19:04 |
| L3top | Moonlightning: ls /proc/acpi nothing there I guess? | 19:04 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, yeah, was already there | 19:04 |
| trism | Moonlightning: something like: upower -e; to find a device, then upower -i /path/to/device | 19:04 |
| Moonlightning | trism: no, I'll try that. Hang on, updates… | 19:04 |
| usr13 | Cong: Well, you could just ditch network-manager for wicd | 19:04 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, gives the option "Format the partition" below where i chose ext4 | 19:04 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: no /proc/acpi either | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, cool so ext4 correct there is a format box there yes, and a dropdown choose / | 19:04 |
| usr13 | Cong: sudo apt-get remove network-manager;sudo apt-get install wicd #And reboot | 19:05 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, yep, done. should I format as well? | 19:05 |
| L3top | yeah... as trism said... was a waste of a question to ask Moonlightning. | 19:05 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: huh? o.o | 19:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, then check that grub is pointed at that usb on the main something else screen it is a dropdown. | 19:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, yes let it format that usb you are installing to. | 19:05 |
| L3top | no acpi on non 386 systems Moonlightning. Was a waste of time to look for it. | 19:06 |
| usr13 | Cong: sudo apt-get install wicd;sudo apt-get remove network-manager #And reboot | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, it will wipe that usb. | 19:06 |
| xangua | Cong: did you already reset the panel¿ | 19:06 |
| Moonlightning | L3top: oh, okay… | 19:06 |
| Cong | reset didn't work, still the same old same | 19:06 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, file system dropdown:ext4, format partition: check, mount point dropdown: / | 19:06 |
| Cong | it was there but it vanished when I installed the nic drivers | 19:07 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, "Device for boot loader installation:" shows the correct USB name | 19:07 |
| Phaba | how do i use pkg_manager? | 19:07 |
| MortenTemp | Hi, is there any reason _not_ installing Ubuntu 64bit? | 19:07 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, wiping is fine. Should be good to go? | 19:07 |
| MortenTemp | for _not_* | 19:07 |
| Moonlightning | trism: yes, I have `upower`, but `upower -e` returns nothing (with exit status 0) | 19:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, yep, and then make sure on the main screen after closing that portion, that grub in its dropdown is pointed at that usb no partition #'s just sda, or sdb what ever the usb is. | 19:07 |

| Cong | xangua, no. | 19:09 |
| Frostbyte | anyone? | 19:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, use the same method with another usb or cd, I would have used the 8 gig or another to install to the 16 gigger personally, just to have the biggest possible for use. | 19:09 |

| Frostbyte | you've got any clue on how I can solve this weird issue, w4sp? :P | 19:12 |

| theadmin | systemclient: But if you want to install through text mode, I suggest the alternate cd | 19:19 |

| wilee-nilee | trond-, Do you have 10.04 backed up or at least what you can't lose? | 19:30 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: For the record, the menu for any open app is part of the top panel (like on OS X) | 19:30 |
| tziemann_ | thank you | 19:31 |
| newbzilla | it says shockwave flash | 19:31 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: but anyway, you're there, so now look at the plugins and see what type of flash / version you're running | 19:31 |
| anonymous_ | Hello | 19:31 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: shockware flash version... ? | 19:31 |
| anonymous_ | Anonymous! | 19:31 |
| mcgwiz | trism: thanks. what do you mean it shouldn't matter for an upgrade? | 19:31 |
| newbzilla | 11.2 r202 | 19:31 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: mmm, that's the newest version. What other plugins do you have? | 19:31 |
| trism | mcgwiz: because the repos already have the upgraded packages, it is just the isos that haven't been updated yet | 19:31 |
| trond- | sk | 19:32 |
| mcgwiz | trism: gotcha, thanks much! | 19:32 |
| moes | zamn, Look in /etc/default/grub | 19:32 |
| Moonlightning | Is there any way to use a different console font? I rather dislike all of the available ones. I've tried changing it using `myunity`, but the GUI app keeps crashing immediately after launch. Something about getting a string instead of a word, I think. It's hard to tell… | 19:32 |
| W4sp | tziemann_: In system settings, keyboard you can see in 'shortcuts' and set the desired key combination. Meta4+l for instance | 19:32 |
| newbzilla | divx web player, djview, icedtea, itunes, libreoffice, quicktime, shockwaveflash, vlc multimedia, windows media | 19:32 |
| tziemann_ | thanks | 19:32 |
| trond- | wilee-nilee, I haven't done it, but I can definitely do it. | 19:32 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: mmm, none of that should cause a problem. Close firefox and open a terminal and pkill firefox then run firefox in the terminal | 19:33 |
| zamn | moes: what am i looking for? GRUB_TIMEOUT? its set to 5 right now | 19:33 |
| newbzilla | do i just type pkill firefox in the term? | 19:33 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: yes | 19:33 |
| wilee-nilee | trond-, I would, I would not do a upgrade myself personally but a fresh install, but that is just me. | 19:33 |
| newbzilla | ok did that, then started through terminal. now try flash or recheck my addons? | 19:34 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: pkill = process kill It kills processes by name. You can view a list of current process' names in ps -e (but you don't need to do that now) | 19:34 |
| newbzilla | thanks for the info though | 19:34 |
| trond- | wilee-nilee, since I have these errors, I am considering doing the same. I have the Home partition on it's own, so I really don't need to do much backup. | 19:34 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: play some flash website and make flash crash and look at the terminal for any errors | 19:34 |
| newbzilla | its not saying app crash or plugin crash, there is just no video. just a grey page but all the buttons and other videos are present just not the one you want to play | 19:36 |
| wilee-nilee | trond-, Good I would do the fresh install then. | 19:36 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: make sure you're testing on youtube. | 19:36 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: I don't know what is wrong. | 19:37 |
| freezys | terminal always opened on startup, why? anybody can help me? | 19:37 |

| T|ASK | Which ATI blob driver works with Kernel 3.5? | 19:38 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: I'm not sure. My only other suggestion is to sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree and then install it again. Maybe same thing with firefox. There is also this thread I found: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue | 19:38 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: Beyond that I do not know | 19:38 |
| newbzilla | i ran the purge, now type what to reinstall?\ | 19:39 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 19:40 |
| newbzilla | E: package 'flashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate | 19:41 |
| newbzilla | thats what came up | 19:41 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: oh, poo. Hang on | 19:41 |
| theadmin | deadmund: It's been "flashplugin-installer" for a long time now | 19:41 |
| theadmin | newbzilla: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 19:41 |
| deadmund | I think we differ on what a 'long time' is :P | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | flashplugin-nonfree uses flash 9 | 19:41 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: He's right about the name though | 19:41 |
| deadmund | BluesKaj: flashplugin-nonfree is not a package anymore | 19:42 |
| newbzilla | reinstalled checking now | 19:42 |

| soliloquy1 | Does the adwaita theme engine come installed by default on 12.04? | 19:45 |
| Kroach | how can I convert a plain text file into xml from the command line? | 19:45 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: search for the screenshot app in the dash. Save it as any image file (.png is probs the default). Do I have to explain basic file tree to you? | 19:45 |
| bekks | Kroach: By editing it and add valid xml formatting. | 19:45 |
| deadmund | Kroach: That question does not make sense. xml is just plain text with <tags> everywhere | 19:46 |
| newbzilla | probably, im not joking or trying to be stupid but maybe | 19:46 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: Ok. First take the screenshot. Do you need help with that? | 19:46 |
| Kroach | I want to generate tags automaticly, so that quotes get converted into \", etc. | 19:46 |
| newbzilla | lol i figured that part out, im lucky | 19:46 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: where did you save it? | 19:47 |
| newbzilla | http://postimage.org/image/d74lx2qvj/ | 19:47 |
| deadmund | you got it | 19:47 |
| bekks | Kroach: Thats not necessarily valid XML. | 19:47 |
| deadmund | deadmund: It looks to me like it just isn't finished downloading the flash player / video. How fast is your internet connection? | 19:47 |
| deadmund | Kroach: How does the computer know where to put the tags? | 19:47 |
| newbzilla | 24megabits | 19:48 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: that's a value, not a rate. | 19:48 |
| deadmund | but, if you mean 24 megabits / second, that's fast | 19:48 |
| === nausicaa is now known as ghostchick | ||
| newbzilla | yes | 19:48 |
| Kroach | deadmund: I think it does, when I create a new page in CMS I enter plain text and it gets converted | 19:48 |
| deadmund | Kroach: CMS? | 19:48 |
| bekks | Kroach: Then only the CMS does know where to generally put tags. | 19:49 |
| bekks | Kroach: Thats absolutely nothing your computer knows. | 19:49 |
| newbzilla | 24megs down per sec | 19:49 |
| T|ASK | If i run fgl_gears I get suspicious framerates (very even values) like "300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.000 FPS" is this normal? | 19:49 |
| Kroach | bekks: isn't there some command-line utility with the same functionality? | 19:49 |
| bekks | Kroach: No. | 19:50 |
| newbzilla | ok so yeah, its not downloading still haha | 19:50 |
| Kroach | damn | 19:50 |
| Plumblum | first time i notice that there are 3 floodbots :P | 19:50 |
| newbzilla | sorry, im at work trying to resolve this issue for a customer, cant figure it out but ive also never used ubuntu. | 19:50 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: I don't know :( | 19:50 |
| bekks | Kroach: Because only your specific CMS knows where it puts tags at, and unless the author of the CMS provides a CLI tool for doing so, no one else will know it. | 19:50 |
| Plumblum | anyway, when i want my sql database to accept incoming connections, should i remove bind-aress from the config ? | 19:51 |
| newbzilla | did i maybe miss anything on the fresh install? i downloaded ubuntu 12.04 and installed on a new hard drive, did all the basics that weve been through and it just wont play flash | 19:51 |
| Kroach | bekks: oh, that makes sense, I didn't use many CMS so I didn't know, thanks | 19:51 |
| bekks | Plumblum: No. Yous should configure a valid bind-address, rather than 127.0.0.1 | 19:51 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: can you pastebin the output of your dmesg for me? paste.ubuntu.org | 19:51 |
| Plumblum | bekks, im assuming because that is safer ? | 19:52 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: sorry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 19:52 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: dmesg is a terminal command | 19:52 |
| Plumblum | bekks, is there a way to add more adresses to that list ? | 19:52 |
| bekks | Plumblum: Because thats the only way to control the address your database binds to. | 19:52 |
| bekks | Plumblum: You have to take a look at the documentation of the database to get that info. | 19:52 |
| Ascavasaion | I did an upgrade and this new Unity thing in 11.04 has installed a yucky scrollbar on most of my applications. I then upgraded to a Lubuntu setup, but the scrollbars are still stuffed. Can someone tell me how to get back to real scrollbars? | 19:52 |
| Plumblum | bekks, it cant be that hard to tell mysql to allow incoming connections ? | 19:53 |
| oneselfstanding | hi all | 19:54 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: You there? | 19:54 |
| bekks | Plumblum: Just configure a valid bind-address. The advanced configuration of that specific parameter is covered in the documentation. | 19:54 |
| newbzilla | yes | 19:55 |
| Plumblum | bekks, but one ip wont do... | 19:55 |
| newbzilla | what did you mean dsmg or whatever | 19:55 |
| Plumblum | i guess i have to go through the documentation | 19:55 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: run dmesg It's a terminal command. copy and paste the output here: paste.ubuntu.com then give me the link | 19:55 |

| Moonlightning | Does Linux automatically defragment the hard disk? | 20:01 |
| genii-around | !defrag | 20:01 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 20:01 |
| deadmund | Moonlightning: The ext file system to be exact. But yeah. | 20:01 |
| newbzilla | man that kinda stinks, but thanks for all the help. anywhere else i can go to troubleshoot? | 20:01 |
| Moonlightning | Ooh. Thanks. ^^ | 20:01 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: I posted a link a while ago that seemed to have some answers. IDK though. You can ask in this channel more. | 20:02 |
| newbzilla | thanks broski | 20:02 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: YOu should mention that it appears as if the flash content is not loaded. NOT that flash is crashing. Flash has a very specific crash screen | 20:02 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: http://www.daniel-ritter.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/The-Adobe-Flash-plugin-has-crashed.jpg which you are not seeing so flash is not crashing | 20:03 |

| deadmund | newbzilla: in fact, do you have any firefox settings / bookmarks or anything? | 20:08 |
| newbzilla | nope, fresh install | 20:08 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: do this: close firefox, run this command mv ~/.mozilla ~/.backup.mozilla open firefox again, test flash on youtube | 20:09 |
| newbzilla | mv ~/ (is there a space here) .mozilla? | 20:10 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: mv ~/(there is no space here).mozilla | 20:11 |

| newbzilla | so i type it just like this then mv ~/.mozilla ~/.backup.mozilla | 20:12 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: yes just like that | 20:12 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: You can try it. Messing it up won't do anything bad | 20:12 |

Today i've got a problem with my mouse and this is really annoying. in Firefox and Writer it scrolls inverted but in Systempreferences and Software center it scrolls normal, like ever before.

| newbzilla | haha good then i guess | 20:16 |
| newbzilla | now what? | 20:16 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: It was a rename. It says rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.backup.mozilla so once you have renamed it you can't rename it again. | 20:16 |
| deadmund | newbzilla: start firefox, test flash | 20:16 |
| newbzilla | still no luck, i was so happy too :( | 20:17 |

| hwkiller-netbook | yes and no | 20:42 |
| hwkiller-netbook | flash as a standalone plugin is dead. | 20:42 |
| trond- | newbzilla, let's start here: in Firefox - write about:plugins - See if you have flash there (should say something like shockwave) | 20:42 |
| hwkiller-netbook | flash in the form of chrome's pepper plugin, no | 20:42 |
| Salah | Yes, the Flash plugin for Linux is dead, according to several sources. | 20:42 |
| OnyxRaven | I'm having trouble finding an answer to this. Is there a good way to install a package (tree) currently in Debian's experimental repository on Ubuntu 12.04? specificly http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/opencv - 2.4.2 | 20:43 |
| W4sp | OnyxRaven: I looked up the project and couldn't find anything. I recommend to contact the developer directly. (Interesting project.) | 20:44 |
| OnyxRaven | its in debian, can i just add their experimental tree to my sources.list and do the install? or is that dangerous | 20:44 |
| W4sp | Salah: Adobe ceased active development for Flash about a year ago. They focus now on HTML5. | 20:45 |
| xangua | OnyxRaven: please don't mix repositories | 20:45 |
| W4sp | Salah: That's a good thing given its history of security flaws and Adobe's lack of capabilities to fix it. | 20:46 |
| hwkiller-netbook | I'm guessing that's a bad idea, W4sp, since ubuntu and debian have very different versions | 20:46 |
| W4sp | hwkiller-netbook: I'm not suggesting to mix anything. I asked to contact the development team directly. | 20:47 |
| OnyxRaven | ya | 20:47 |
| hwkiller-netbook | er oops, W4sp, I highlighted the wrong person | 20:47 |
| failedassertion | I would like to be able to grub-reboot into the same system with slightly different kernel command line options. i.e., I have an "fsprotect" option, and I want to be able to reboot once without it, and I can't need a KVM to do it | 20:48 |
| OnyxRaven | looks like there's some PPAs on launchpad | 20:48 |
| hwkiller-netbook | I meant to address the person asking | 20:48 |
| Salah | W4sp: Is there a disadvantage to moving to HTML5 ? | 20:48 |
| W4sp | OnyxRaven: Did you see hwkiller-netbook 's comment re. mixing 'repositories'? hwkiller-netbook is correct highlighting the risks. | 20:48 |
| newbzilla | sorry for the delay, been through that before though and yes, flash is there | 20:48 |
| OnyxRaven | I did. and yeah, i'm not going to do it heh | 20:48 |
| newbzilla | shockwave flash 11.2 r202 is what i have | 20:49 |
| failedassertion | So far, I've been using the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX option, so fallback doesn't read-only my partitions | 20:49 |

| failedassertion | the friendly recovery menu waits for user input and I can't get past it without a keyboard connected. | 20:50 |
| W4sp | Salah: Very much so. While Flash is 'free' in the sense it doesn't cost you anything to have a Flashplayer it is not free as in 'Open Source'. HTML5 is to become a standard that is supposed to support other media (movies and such). | 20:50 |

| jhourani | i am a software engineer...always using new devlopment tools | 20:57 |
| W4sp | enneract1: That seems to be the response as a result from a DNS lookup from your machine. Likely that you do not have a FQDN within your office infrastructure. That isn't required but your DNS server must be made aware that his domain is 'somthingelse'. | 20:57 |

| guntbert | jhourani: as a software engineer it cannot be difficult for you to run that process - and do you realize how many applications are to be found in the repos? | 20:59 |
| jagginess | trond-, flash for linux is dead.. unless mozilla adopts pepperapi to use chrome's flash releases | 20:59 |

| guntbert | jhourani: lets put it this way: you save a few minutes every day and loose hours every month because your system got broken by (put your choice of person/program here) | 21:04 |
| jagginess | f00bar80, i use sbackup just for /home | 21:04 |
| W4sp | f00bar80: You can use tar, cpio or dd perhaps? | 21:05 |
| f00bar80 | W4sp, for all the system backup? and how to restore it on a new installation? | 21:05 |
| jimcooncat | f00bar80: there's partimage too | 21:05 |
| jhourani | guntbert what is your process for downloading and installing an app? (not from the repo) | 21:05 |
| jagginess | jhourani, untarring, autoconf, make, and then use dpkg package tools | 21:06 |
| violinappren | f00bar80: or you should look into a disk imaging backup solution like http://clonezilla.org/ | 21:06 |
| jagginess | f00bar80 apt-cache search clonezilla | 21:06 |
| jimcooncat | f00bar80: you're better off using what the system can do for you -- make a list of installed applications, then install those on the target systems. Move your customizations and /home over. | 21:07 |

| jimcooncat | f00bar80: doing it that way will allow the installer to give you drivers for your new hardware, etc. | 21:08 |
| W4sp | f00bar80: Load the CD and use tar, dd or cpio for a restore. If you want more there is sbackup (python, <shudder>), online services and such. | 21:08 |

| jagginess | f00bar80, there's no point backing up anything outside home, except for third party .debs of course.. packages are always being updated.. | 21:08 |
| marsfligth | violinappren: Thanks, I already found that, but I'd hope to find a way to use the default Ubutuntu updated service that on security updates it very reliable and silent. I need that because I'm installing many Ubuntu to friends replacing m$, but all of theme have problems on updates/dist upgrade etc. So, maybe editing the 'Ubuntu update security service' configuration file | 21:08 |

| nethus | k1l: not even a very rough guess? will a night be enough? or are we talking days? | 21:13 |
| violinappren | marsfligth: it (may) change the speed but not the behavior .. the behavior is determined by the method that you opt to use for automated updates.. be it the software-center provided one, unattended-upgrades or merely a bash script invoked as a cron job | 21:13 |
| lt_ | hi all | 21:15 |
| jagginess | marsfligth, looks like you can use http://<country-code>.archive-ubuntu.com/ubuntu .. you probably just have to add "it" right after http (i did a geoip test and locates the ip in italy) | 21:15 |
| jagginess | marsfligth, this method is newer to me (the way i normally used to do it, is replace longer http:// urls from one of the closer mirrors to me) | 21:16 |
| marsfligth | I'm not interested on italian IRC. I just trying to understand if it's possible to modify the default behavior of the native Ubuntu update service in a way to update all app's and all added ppa's | 21:16 |

| jagginess | marsfligth, my typo, it's said to be http://<country-code>.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 21:16 |

| W4sp | nethus: What's the fs type anyway? | 21:26 |
| jagginess | marsfligth, actually the security would be vital.. but you should probably set a condition if you're scripting to allow updates. Eg, to have a flagfile to indicate a "go" for an update. (I hear people use "puppet" for this kind of stuff but i never used it)-- you want to have a test machine do an update beforehand.. you don't mass breakage in one shot | 21:27 |
| Otkrick | guys, find . -type d -printf '%f\n' returns ". dir1 dir2 dir3". How I should remove "." in return? I need in return such as simply "dir1 dir2 dir3" | 21:27 |
| lt__ | hmm | 21:28 |
| nethus | W4sp: i'm indeed concerned about downtime. dev/md1 is the root partition (5 of 10G used), /dev/md2 is /home (144 of 450G used). both are ext3 | 21:29 |
| markus__ | hallo... i search maybe something what dont exist... but maybe one here have an idea... the guys in the ot channel told me to ask here | 21:29 |
| markus__ | i search some tool to create programms... but no ordinary ide or something... | 21:30 |
| Dettorer | markus__: vim ? | 21:30 |
| markus__ | so generelly somthing like kexi with a compiler :) | 21:30 |
| markus__ | the tools wich i make are extreme simple but i need complex grafical reports... so 90% of the developing work would be for the reports... | 21:30 |
| jagginess | markus__, gambas | 21:31 |
| W4sp | nethus: I see. / Would be quick as there's nothing on it really. /home ..? I don't dare to give you an uneducated guess. :-( What prompted the server to fsck after reboot? | 21:31 |
| jagginess | markus__, better than VisualC | 21:31 |
| jagginess | markus__, better than VisualBasic i mean | 21:31 |
| markus__ | i know gambas | 21:31 |
| jagginess | markus__, then dance | 21:31 |
| marsfligth | jagginess: some people told me about 'puppet', I had a quick look, but i read that it is commercial for more than ten pc's. In my case, averagely I make on Ubuntu 1 new pc every week more or less, then doing a quick count, I assumed that was not for me. Probabilly it is great for an enterprise | 21:31 |
| markus__ | but it is much work to create diagramms and nice looking graphical prints | 21:32 |
| sfdsf | ï·’ | 21:32 |
| markus__ | and print-preview | 21:32 |
| jagginess | markus__, oh you're passing them. I thought you were administrating a network. | 21:32 |
| jagginess | markus__, so use http://it. , a closer mirror .. you don't want slow updates for your customer | 21:33 |
| markus__ | jagginess, ??? | 21:33 |
| markus__ | i want to build some apps... | 21:33 |
| marsfligth | are you quite expert on 'dpkg' and 'apt'? If yes, I paste my script to see how to improve it | 21:33 |
| jagginess | sory | 21:33 |
| jagginess | marsfligth. | 21:33 |
| jagginess | "so use http://it. , a closer mirror .. you don't want slow updates for your customer" < marsfligth | 21:34 |
| jagginess | (i'm hoping i got it right) | 21:34 |
| markus__ | what i need is a tool that allow me to create input-masks and reports rot the printing.... | 21:34 |
| * jagginess clamps down on his tab | 21:34 | |
| markus__ | and that a should be able to compile... | 21:34 |
| jagginess | markus__, openoffice can do forms | 21:34 |
| marsfligth | jagginess: no, all pc's are in different places and each one haw own wan ip | 21:35 |
| markus__ | e.g. pagemaker is able to create a DB with reports and forms and then i can export that in a standalone app | 21:35 |
| W4sp | nethus: Are you there, reading? | 21:36 |
| nethus | W4sp: i guess that's the script to check the software raid that runs on a regular basis | 21:36 |
| jagginess | markus__, have a look at "form" making with openoffice. It's powerful if you looked into it. (the oofice application that makes .odb can also work with network databases/tables/queries.. and you can "script" in openoffice too) | 21:36 |
| markus__ | so what i mean is something like openoffice-base or kexi with a compiler | 21:36 |
| === bz is now known as donnastits | ||
| === donnastits is now known as bz | ||
| jagginess | markus__, join a oofice list, i'm sure there's all kinds of api's.. | 21:37 |
| markus__ | jagginess, ooffice is nice... but not what i need | 21:37 |
| brookquint | Hello all, I have recently forgotten my Admin account password on my Ubunutu 12.04 lts desktop version, how can I recover it? | 21:37 |
| markus__ | i want to build later from that a programm... | 21:37 |
| jagginess | markus__, you never used it to it's fully potential my friend.. | 21:37 |
| jagginess | markus__, you can use "online" network databases with it. | 21:38 |
| jagginess | markus__, and oofice is universal, it's on unix/mac/win/linux.. | 21:38 |
| markus__ | jagginess, that is all nice... but not what i search... | 21:38 |
| jagginess | markus__, essentially the .odb file is like an application. | 21:38 |
| marsfligth | jagginess: anyway, assuming that I use the script, how to cnon it has root via bash script? I'm finding trouble because it seems that 'crontab' accepts command only written directly by 'crontab -e'. Do you know some way to fix this problem? | 21:38 |
| jagginess | markus__, what i meant by "list" was a "mailinglist" for openoffice.. there must be millions of APi'S. | 21:39 |
| markus__ | yes but someone can take a look for the logic behind - that i dont want first | 21:39 |
| markus__ | 2nd someone could change something and destroy the system | 21:39 |
| W4sp | nethus: I see. As the fs is not damages you don't need to run it immediately. If errors are found it can take a two to four hours for ext3 hardware RAID. As yuors is s/w it should be faster. | 21:40 |
| jagginess | markus__, it's for an end-customer, why bother? they're not paying anymore support if you set this up for them.. | 21:40 |
| markus__ | for that i want to compile the projects finally to a closed source app | 21:40 |

| * jagginess mixes mark* and mars* once again :( | 21:41 | |

| markus__ | jagginess, i want to create financial tools... billing, cost-calculateion, controlling, ... | 21:41 |
| jagginess | markus__, uh huh.. | 21:42 |
| DeltaWhy | is it possible to change the order of preferred networks in 12.04? | 21:42 |
| jagginess | markus__, so use a database. | 21:42 |
| jagginess | if you know how to set one up. | 21:42 |
| DeltaWhy | it looks like they're just sorted by most recently used in the network manager | 21:42 |
| nethus | W4sp: but after googling i saw times up to 70 hours for 1,5T, so i'm kinda afraid | 21:42 |
| markus__ | jagginess, what i have now is 95% build with excel and / or access | 21:42 |
| kantlivelong | hey all.. how can i downgrade a package? i used xedgers and now want to go back to xswat | 21:42 |
| nethus | W4sp: plus, i don't have physical access to the machine | 21:42 |
| markus__ | to build it in oo-base or kexi is no problem... | 21:43 |
| markus__ | but that i need is later a standalone running programm | 21:43 |
| jagginess | markus__, excel eh. | 21:43 |
| W4sp | nethus: If that's your scheduled maintenance window you might be fine. Again, based on findings and the fact that no errors are there. Do you have a plan whast to do if the box takes longer, does not come up, fsck makes more damage than fixing something? | 21:43 |
| jagginess | markus__, you. use. openoffice on windows. ok? I DONT CARE ABOUT M$ EXCEL. | 21:43 |
| W4sp | nethus: I see, can you ssh in? | 21:43 |

| black_ru | Hello | 21:45 |
| sideone | hey guys, anyone using logrotate with zip instead of gzip? | 21:45 |
| k1l | zoopp: the question should be: why would you uninstall it? | 21:45 |
| zoopp | k1l: to speed up the system..I imagine that all that data collecting is slowing it down. | 21:46 |
| W4sp | nethus: Maybe you can dd /home onto a different drive prior boot? | 21:46 |
| zoopp | k1l: I kinda have a performance issue right now. | 21:46 |
| k1l | zoopp: when its done it should be not slowing down anymore. it is used for the dash suggestions | 21:48 |

| W4sp | nethus: OVH...? Sorry, I don't know what that is. Also, I'm just saying that I saw some risks that you may wish to mitigate. I'm not suggesting in any way that everything will go south. :-) | 21:51 |

| schultza | an answer | 22:04 |
| schultza | yes... | 22:04 |

| schultza | Sounds like he needs to reconfigure it to allow something to pass through. | 22:05 |
| Jarrydx26 | Dakar probably shocked @ ubuntu dont need much firewall protection as windows lol | 22:06 |
| jagginess | dakar, if you have a little "box" router, that is already a firewall for you.. so no need to make a second one on your linux machine | 22:06 |

| usr13 | dakar: no | 22:10 |
| W4sp | nethus: You said that fsck is a routine and not caused by anything else. So it's only a flag set to fsck the partition before you mount it. In theory, you can keep it running as you don't need to reboot. You can also install updates. You said upgrades. What version do you have? | 22:11 |
| usr13 | schultza: Most everyone has a router between them and the Internet and so they dont' need a firewall on the PC. | 22:11 |
| alien64 | yeah if its turned on lol | 22:12 |
| usr13 | schultza: A firewall should be between your PC and the internet, (a separate device). Hince the term "firewall router". | 22:12 |
| Jarrydx26 | Lol there goes dakar eaten by the firewall | 22:12 |
| MonkeyDust | i have a firewall in my router and ip tables enabled on my pc | 22:12 |
| alien64 | quest has theres turned of by default on the routers they give out | 22:13 |

| schultza | Or the device that creates another link or connection, like a virtual network. Most of those are configured on the computers themselves for individuals, not organizations. | 22:13 |

| usr13 | dynesh: Does the network-manager show any wireless networks? | 22:45 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: if that is a fresh installation, reinstall the system with minimal/server | 22:45 |
| dynesh | yes, it does | 22:45 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Do you see the network-manager? | 22:45 |
| dynesh | usr13..it does | 22:46 |
| Moonlightning | bkc_: but if minimal is the same, minus a bunch of packages… | 22:46 |
| Moonlightning | I can just uninstall those packages… | 22:46 |
| usr13 | dynesh: It shows wireless networks that are available? | 22:46 |
| Moonlightning | I'm on a neighbor's connection atm, trying not to download much. | 22:46 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: minimal is the base of everything | 22:46 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: sure... if you know which onew ;) | 22:46 |
| * W4sp <facepalm> | 22:46 | |
| Moonlightning | bkc_: I don't, though. That's why I'm asking. | 22:46 |
| smarqle | I'm using Rhythmbox with Lastfm and have a question. When I play artist stations they get saved in the column on the left, but there seems no obvious way of removing them. I was hoping right clicking would do it. That's how it works with the Lastfm scrobbler client (on windows and Debian when I tried it on those) | 22:46 |
| dynesh | usr13: yes, and it also shows it is connected, but when i open my browser, i am unable to connect to the web | 22:46 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Open a terminal and type: ping -c3 av.com #Tell us if it pings. | 22:47 |
| iceroot | dynesh: what is the output of "ifconfig" "ping -c 4 8.8.8.8" and "ping -c 4 google.com" | 22:47 |

| dynesh | everdaylinuxuse: yes!! | 22:49 |
| Moonlightning | Bah. I just installed the system a few days ago… | 22:50 |

| iceroot | bkc_: normally that will break the system and will take very very long | 22:51 |
| * Moonlightning blinks | 22:51 | |
| iceroot | bkc_: because that method is not tested and sometimes there are issues with ubuntu-base | 22:51 |
| Moonlightning | When did I pastedump a bunch of stuff?… | 22:51 |
| bkc_ | iceroot: and that's why I moved to Arch ^^ | 22:51 |
| usr13 | dynesh: ifconfig #See what IP address you have, and tell us. | 22:52 |
| Moonlightning | Anyway. Where can I get the minimal image for powerpc? | 22:52 |
| tziemann__ | sorry i thought i was typing into the terminal | 22:52 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: tried google? :) | 22:52 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Does it show an IP address? | 22:52 |
| iceroot | !minimal | Moonlightning | 22:52 |
| ubottu | Moonlightning: 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 | 22:52 |
| Moonlightning | And, can I just install on top of what I have now, so that I don't have to copy everything over again? | 22:52 |
| dynesh | usr13: 192.168.1.4 | 22:52 |
| usr13 | dynesh: ping -c3 192.168.1.1 #Does it ping? | 22:52 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: if you have an extra home partition yes | 22:53 |
| brookquint | Can anyone assit me with booting into single user mode via init=/bin/bash? | 22:53 |
| Moonlightning | …I don't. Everything's on one partition… >.< | 22:53 |
| dynesh | usr13: yes, it says, 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packetloss | 22:53 |
| usr13 | dynesh: cat /etc/resolv.conf #Tell us what the nameserver IP address is | 22:54 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: first, why you want minimal? | 22:54 |
| Moonlightning | …uhh… | 22:54 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: second, why you just dont disable X11 and boot into the shell? | 22:54 |
| usr13 | dynesh: It should probably say; nameserver 192.168.1.1 #And maybe another, what does it say? Any other addresses? | 22:54 |
| Moonlightning | I just don't want a bunch of stuff I'm not going to use. I installed Linux because it's an old computer and I want it to run /fast./ | 22:55 |
| dynesh | it says, 127.0.0.1 | 22:55 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: it will be the same speed if you dont start X11 | 22:55 |
| Moonlightning | Even just logging in on a tty takes about five seconds, though… | 22:55 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: then I'd suggest every single distro, except ubuntu/mint ^^ | 22:55 |
| Moonlightning | I do want a GUI, though, so I can run Firefox|Safari|some-modem-browser | 22:55 |
| Moonlightning | …argh. | 22:55 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: that is more an issue of the bashrc which is big in ubuntu and takes some time | 22:55 |
| usr13 | dynesh: One more test: route -n #Tell us if it gives 192.168.1.1 as gateway? | 22:56 |
| Moonlightning | iceroot: I don't use bash ;) | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: you want a gui? you said you want minimal | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: minimal = no gui, the same for server = no gui | 22:56 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: ubuntu-minimal doesn't incluge a gui... :/ | 22:56 |
| Moonlightning | Yes, but I can just `apt-get install` the GUI, can't I? | 22:56 |
| dynesh | usr13: yes, | 22:56 |
| bkc_ | sure | 22:56 |
| Moonlightning | Well, then~ | 22:56 |
| Moonlightning | ! * | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: ... | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: that does not make sense | 22:57 |
| Moonlightning | …wait. | 22:57 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Ok, for some reason, your friend's router did not give nameserver IP, so you can fix it like this: | 22:57 |
| Moonlightning | Don't tell me the only difference between main and minimal is the GUI… | 22:57 |
| bkc_ | but why? why not just install LUbuntu/Xubuntu/whatnotBuntu ? | 22:57 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: you want to remove the gui and want to install minimal to install a gui then? | 22:57 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: basically... yes | 22:57 |
| * Moonlightning headdesks. | 22:57 | |
| Moonlightning | Well, never mind. | 22:57 |
| usr13 | dynesh: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf #and add a line at bottom: nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 22:57 |
| Squarepy | or use a text browser | 22:57 |
| Moonlightning | How do I make the system in general faster, then? | 22:57 |
| bkc_ | Moonlightning: + some good-to-have gui-apps ... | 22:57 |
| iceroot | Moonlightning: if you want a light version of ubuntu, try lxde (lubuntu-desktop) | 22:57 |
| Benguin | :C Help! I broke stuff and can't install or upgrade anything http://pastebin.com/EWeqGdyp | 22:58 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Save and exit and you should be able to brouse the internet. | 22:58 |
| Moonlightning | Squarepy: text browsers aren't supported by most websites… | 22:58 |

| drag0nius | how to restart connection on interface after changing interfaces? | 22:59 |

| Moonlightning | …? | 23:04 |
| dynesh | usr13: nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 23:05 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Edit /etc/resolv.conf gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and change 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 | 23:05 |
| iceroot | usr13: 12.04 is using a different method for dns | 23:05 |
| usr13 | dynesh: So that you only have one nameserver line and it says nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 23:05 |
| iceroot | usr13: 127.0.0.1 is correct | 23:05 |
| usr13 | iceroot: Really? | 23:05 |
| everydaylinuxuse | could it be a firewall issue? | 23:06 |
| iceroot | usr13: yes, dnsmask or something like that | 23:06 |
| W4sp | usr13: Probably the DHCP server isn't feeling well. See if resolv.conf.tail can do for you. | 23:06 |
| dynesh | usr13: i have two lines, one says 192.168.1.1 and the other one says 127.0.0.1 | 23:06 |
| MonkeyDust | dynesh the first is your router, the second is your pc | 23:06 |

| L3top | usr13: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 23:12 |
| jdcm | i need help | 23:12 |
| iceroot | usr13: thats the way how 12.04 is using dns now | 23:12 |
| L3top | this is a template which gets dumped to resolv.conf usr13. | 23:12 |
| L3top | that is why it begins "do not edit this by hand" | 23:12 |
| iceroot | usr13: resolc.conf will contain 127.0.0.1 were dnsmasq is running and doing its job | 23:12 |
| usr13 | dynesh: ls /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 23:12 |

| jdcm | i wanna install Linux Kubuntu on my pc, what would i do to keep my files from windows 7? | 23:13 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Does that file exist? | 23:13 |

| dynesh | usr13 :no such file in directory | 23:13 |
| usr13 | iceroot: Then why does dynesh not have that file? | 23:13 |
| hillshum | jdcm: Have you considering using Wubi? That's the easiest way, though it does have some limitations | 23:14 |
| iceroot | usr13: linux mint, not 12.04 or something like that i guess | 23:14 |
| SkippersBoss | jdcm install Kubuntu next to win7 | 23:14 |
| iceroot | usr13: as usual :) | 23:14 |
| usr13 | dynesh: lsb_release -a #Tell us what that says. | 23:14 |
| L3top | usr13: sorry cat /etc/resolvconf/resolve.conf.d/head | 23:14 |
| jdcm | yes, but i want have only linux | 23:14 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Is it Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Mint or....? | 23:14 |
| dynesh | ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 23:15 |
| jdcm | yes hillshum but, it runs only with demo mode | 23:15 |
| usr13 | iceroot: So, what is the deal? | 23:15 |
| L3top | dynesh: cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 23:15 |
| dynesh | usr13: 12.04 LTS , precise | 23:15 |
| hillshum | jdcm: Your best option is to put all your files on a USB HDD or something first. | 23:15 |
| iceroot | usr13: sometimes i am wrong :) | 23:15 |

| jdcm | :( but i dont have a usb that can have all mi files | 23:16 |
| jdcm | ok guys, now i want to know something | 23:16 |

| usr13 | dynesh: Add one | 23:21 |
| iceroot | ratbert90: command 2> file.txt | 23:22 |
| ratbert90 | iceroot, that works for logging the command, but not the printk's that are invoked | 23:22 |
| iceroot | ratbert90: the ones which are not picked up at the moment are on STDERR and not STDOUT and > is only covering STDOUT | 23:22 |

| usr13 | dynesh: No, that's ok. | 23:37 |

| dynesh | usr13: :) | 23:38 |
| trism | liox_: do you have apt-listchanges installed? if so just press q and you should be able to upgrade | 23:38 |
| ratbert90 | ok, different question. I have a program that invokes a bunch of printk's alongside it's normal output. Is there a way to log both and save them in a single file? | 23:38 |
| usr13 | dynesh: There should be some way to fix it, but I did not know that Ubuntu 12.04 had changed. Someone please tell dynesh how to manually insert the nameserver IP. | 23:38 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Did you add line to the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file? nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 23:39 |
| dynesh | usr13, yes i did | 23:40 |
| dynesh | usr13, now when i tried cat /etc/resolv.conf its nameserver is 192.168.1.1 | 23:41 |
| Aikar | hi, firefox on ubuntu specific question -- my firefox always opens a new window to the homepage when i click on links in other apps, i use to have the issue where it used %u and fixed that by changing to %s in my launchers, and it worked for a while, now this | 23:41 |
| usr13 | W4sp: I just now saw your post, (had to run next door). So, that file is NOT where the nameserver IP is kept. | 23:41 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Just edit /etc/resolv.conf file and place nameserver 192.168.1.1 in it (as the only nameserver line). | 23:42 |
| mamece2 | Ive set a hotspot in my laptop, to share wireless internet, two different wireless controllers. I have connected my Iphone to the new hotspot but i cant get IP address | 23:42 |
| usr13 | dynesh: And then do: ping -c3 av.com #tell us if it pings. | 23:42 |
| usr13 | dynesh: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf #So that you have only one nameserver line: nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 23:44 |
| dynesh | usr13: it is the only line there already | 23:44 |

| usr13 | dynesh: Ok, change 192.168.1.1 to 4.2.2.2 | 23:45 |
| mamece2 | Ive set a hotspot in my laptop, to share wireless internet, two different wireless controllers. I have connected my Iphone to the new hotspot but i cant get IP address. plz help | 23:45 |
| usr13 | dynesh: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf #So that you have only one nameserver line: nameserver 4.2.2.2 | 23:45 |
| W4sp | usr13: No, and it is overwritten. resolvconf(8) may suggest to check if the link valid between /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and /etc/resolv.conf | 23:45 |
| MsSayian | whats the command to register my nick on this server. I used swift irc and i think its different. There its /ns register nick pass | 23:45 |
| dynesh | usr13: done | 23:46 |
| usr13 | W4sp: What? | 23:46 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon | ||
| MsSayian | does anyone know the command to register your nick on this server? | 23:47 |
| usr13 | W4sp: Oh I see. dynesh ls -l /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf #Tell is if it points to another file, such as /etc/resolv.conf | 23:47 |
| usr13 | !register | MsSayian | 23:47 |
| ubottu | MsSayian: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 23:47 |

| MsSayian | !register | 23:48 |
| usr13 | W4sp: What does yours say? | 23:48 |
| W4sp | usr13: Besides, HAs it been discussed that the WiFi IF get's connected? I have a feeling that the hadshare isn't OK and it would be good to know what 802.11 they actually use. Also, if that laptop ever connected successfully to that router. | 23:48 |
| W4sp | usr13: That's here... ls -la /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 23:48 |
| usr13 | W4sp: Well, he told us that he could ping the router. 192.168.1.1 | 23:48 |
| liox_ | trism: yes I can use? | 23:48 |
| W4sp | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184 Aug 23 20:54 /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 23:48 |
| W4sp | Sorry. | 23:49 |
| dynesh | usr13: it shows /run/resolconf/resolv.conf | 23:49 |
| W4sp | usr13: with WiFi....? | 23:49 |
| usr13 | W4sp: Does your /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf file have a nameserver IP in it? | 23:49 |
| usr13 | W4sp: Yes. He said that wlan0 had the essid and that he could ping the router 192.168.1.1 | 23:49 |
| === yano is now known as jfriedly_ | ||
| trism | liox_: I do not understand what you are asking | 23:50 |
| usr13 | W4sp: He said that route -n showed 192.168.1.1 as gateway. So he is connected to the network, just not resolving domain names. | 23:51 |
| W4sp | usr13: I would suggest to focus on wlan0 interface and how we can get it up. I have a feeling the wifi isn't doing fine and the status message isn/t correct. ...as in 802.11g offered but a/b supported. | 23:52 |
| mamece2 | can somebody help me? | 23:52 |
| mamece2 | Ive set a hotspot in my laptop, to share wireless internet, two different wireless controllers. I have connected my Iphone to the new hotspot but i cant get IP address. plz help | 23:52 |
| W4sp | usr13: Anyway, this is my resolv.conf... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163582/ | 23:52 |
| usr13 | W4sp: But if what he said is true, he is connected. | 23:52 |
| W4sp | usr13: home is my local network. | 23:52 |
| W4sp | usr13: OK, let me scoll up, I may have missed it. I had the impression he can't even pint the router's IPADDR. | 23:53 |
| usr13 | W4sp: But there must be a nameserver IP somewhere. Where is it? | 23:53 |
| usr13 | W4sp: We can ping the router's IP as long as the router is not blocking port 113 | 23:54 |
| usr13 | and most dont | 23:54 |
| W4sp | usr13: ping is UDP and does not use a port. | 23:54 |
| === jfriedly_ is now known as yano | ||
| === colinf is now known as hammerhead | ||
| usr13 | W4sp: At any rate, most all routers will return ping requests | 23:56 |
| usr13 | from the inside anyway. | 23:56 |
| W4sp | usr13: Just a small test to run. Ping the net and see if we get more than .1 back. My nagging doubt may vanish then. | 23:57 |
| maladore | here is a crazy question usr13 are the wires hooked up right and the modem reset if cable? | 23:57 |
| maladore | sorry forgot we were wireless connection | 23:58 |
| W4sp | dynesh: You there...? Could you run the following from the terminal: 'ping 192.168.1.255' and tell us the output, please? | 23:58 |
| usr13 | W4sp: Ping ________? net? | 23:58 |
| dynesh | usr13: sure | 23:58 |
| dynesh | W4sp: yep | 23:58 |
| usr13 | W4sp: 192.168.1.255 ? | 23:59 |
| W4sp | dynesh: I did a mistake. It's ping -b 192.168.1.255 | 23:59 |
| liox_ | trism: how to use apt-listchanges to solve this problem? | 23:59 |
| W4sp | dynesh: It may take some time so please be patient. | 23:59 |
