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?

[00:29] bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1161840/ [00:30] kreig9: the error message said YOUR / partion was read only.. thus you cant make any new directories or files on it.

[01:35] I see there is in BSD, but I don't see any option for it in the man page [01:36] omn: umm, did you try just using it...? [01:37] yes, default behavior is to not traverse symlinks when rececursively traversing a directory tree [01:37] that is for all commands [01:37] omn: yes [01:37] omn: however, if you list a symlink, chmod will act on the target [01:38] I've also tried just adding the flags mentioned in man pages for other OS's and (as I expected) they were not recognized [01:39] omn: what is it that you want to accomplish exactly?

[01:44] omn: the result from find is placed there [01:44] omn: umm, actually you need a \; at the end too. See the man page, but ask if it's not clear [01:44] jrib: gotcha, that's really, really useful and I'm gonna use that for all kinds of things [01:45] omn: yes, very useful [01:45] bobweaver: what is the qt creator?

[01:51] MoTec: note dir_mode only affects directories [01:51] MoTec: what do you try to do to the share that fails exactly? [01:52] brb [01:52] 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] craigbass1976, ya there's a way.. [01:53] 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] 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 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] ev_, sudo apt-get install qtcreator [01:53] MoTec: erm, the numbers stopped after (1), what shame D: [01:53] craigbass1976, i've done from linux<->windows, either way, but it's been quite a long while.. but it's doable..

[01:54] heh [01:54] ev_, I just installed another kernel brb [01:54] craigbass1976, if your stuck, you can always try the free export/import tools (provided you can still run thunderbird.exe) [01:55] 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) [01:56] craigbass1976, i wouldn't want to use symlinks to an ntfs drive from linux... copy the actual mail mbox files [01:56] jrib: actually, it looks like I got it by specifying both file_mode and dir_mode in my fstab [01:56] MoTec: great [01:56] jrib: but it's not mounting automatically after a reboot, lol.. But if I do a sudo mount -a it mounts. [01:56] jagginess, even if windows isn't going to boot anymore? I think they're only going to use it for taxes in April [01:57] MoTec: I think there's an option you can add to indicate the mount requires the network to be up [01:57] craigbass1976, doesnt need to boot anymore :).. but it should be fine [01:57] jrib: Ah, that's what is happening I bet.. [01:57] MoTec: I know this because there was a someone complaining the option didn't work though, so good luck :) [01:57] jrib: heh, i'll see what I can find.

After adding that it worked perfectly. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:00] bobweaver: done and done [02:00] jrib: it looks like I was just impatient after the reboot before.. It just took a couple minutes to come back after I could log back on. [02:00] can someone please help me out with this question?? http://pastebin.com/T80bEawK [02:00] MoTec: cool [02:01] InferiorHuman, title says you want to clone your wife's hdrive. You think she's cheating on ya? [02:01] :/ [02:01] no... [02:01] did you read the whole thing ? [02:02] InferiorHuman, it's not clear.. [02:02] Oh I thought it was pretty clear, whats not clear about it? [02:02] jagginess: InferiorHuman wants to copy the data on one hard drive to another (smaller) one [02:02] jrib: all this to get 3 user's home directory on a windows nas, heh. [02:02] yea if the drive was the same size/ bigger I could do it in one command [02:02] InferiorHuman, which is the new drive? [02:03] the 64gb ssd will be the new (empty) drive [02:03] InferiorHuman, where is C:\ ? [02:04] jagginess, are you messing with me ? [02:04] InferiorHuman, no.. === setkeh` is now known as setkeh [02:04] InferiorHuman, ok so ssd is blank.. you said "new hdd" .. so that baffled a bit.. [02:04] on the 500gb sata drive [02:05] InferiorHuman, not sure if clonezilla can do this, but probably it can clone while shrinking the target [02:06] I can shrink the partition my self in gparted easily [02:06] the part I am not 100% sure about is making it bootable [02:06] InferiorHuman, y. but you should back things up before.. if you do that.. [02:06] how do i get best video performance for ubuntu on win7 i get good performance on 1080p video for xbmc and flash video like hbo go and ubuntu it can be very choppy any idea [02:06] InferiorHuman, "The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one. " clonezilla.. so it's a bummer (clonezilla.org) [02:07] InferiorHuman, however, there's a clonetool with ntfstools (ntfsclone i think -- but i dont know how good it is0 [02:07] (http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsclone) [02:08] seems like you can with expert mode http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/663168/topic/5125793 [02:08] someone said I could just shrink the partition to say 50gb and do dd if=/dev/sda of=/some/file bs=1M count=51200 [02:09] and then write it back obviousl [02:09] 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] why not? [02:10] InferiorHuman, it's a waste of time to copy it to a file [02:10] yea I can copy it to the drive directly huh ? [02:10] but if I copy to file I have a backup incase anything goes wrong. [02:11] jrib: I guess I lied to you. It's not connecting after all. And the option you can put in fstab is _netdev.. And yes, it doesn't work, lol [02:13] Im trying to install ubuntu, on a system running intel matrix raid 0, but i keep getting a grub install failure [02:13] any ideas? [02:13] 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 [02:14] 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. [02:19] What happened to menu.lst or grub.conf? [02:20] craigbass1976, that's grub1. grub2 now replaces those things [02:21] jagginess, gah... With what? [02:30] how do I boot into windows now that I've installed ubuntu?

[02:37] Anyone help? [02:37] is there any good typing tutor for left handed dvorak? I remember there was some software three years ago. [02:38] Treaver, just say your problem [02:38] whats the best shell for ubuntu? [02:38] jen, there is no best [02:38] bash is a good one [02:38] I have said my problem, no one can help?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:39] Treaver, patience [02:39] akls, try apt-cache search term and see if that turns anything up [02:40] bazhang, hey, I was doug_ a minute ago and held shift while booting to get a grub menu. Two monitors say things are out of range at that stage, so I'm not sure how to get a grub menu in front of me [02:40] <|Anthony|> i re-sized an extended partition. after a reboot i went into grub rescue [02:40] no best at all === Octane is now known as Guest50243 [02:40] <|Anthony|> what can i do to get grub to find all the OSs on the hdd [02:40] hey i have problem regarding my network connection [02:40] jen, the default bash shell is fine for most users though, what are you trying to do [02:41] ? [02:41] like gnome and stuff [02:41] I have unity [02:41] savio, ask the real question [02:41] the defauly terminal in gnome is gereat [02:41] *default [02:41] oh wait [02:41] jen try them out and decide. dont poll here [02:41] im retarded [02:42] nvm === octane--_ is now known as octane-- [02:42] in my windows using DSL connection to connect to internet i also get ip address to ethernet card [02:42] but in linux this is not the case [02:42] my eth0 doesn't get an address [02:42] savio, does ifconfig show eth0 wlan0 and lo? [02:42] savio, what's the ip for each card? [02:42] bazhang, yah [02:43] you might see your ethernet show as 127.0.0.1 [02:43] savio, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return in the terminal [02:43] nothing [02:43] savio, what about trying to ping www.google.com [02:43] Does anyone know how to make it so that when you press backspace on googlechrome is goes back? [02:44] maybe a plugin cakebell [02:44] CAkEBAll, how is google chrome an ubuntu issue [02:44] because [02:44] bazhang, 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3024ms [02:44] the backspace going back [02:44] works on windows but not ubuntu [02:44] i remember specifically using a plugin to stop the backspace key from being the back button at one time though [02:44] CAkEBAll, contact the google chrome people === bobbyaldol is now known as bobbyaldolAFK [02:45] hello guys I am new to ubuntu. I just installed ubuntu 12.04. how to install apache, mysql and php on ubuntu? what is the commandline ? [02:45] savio, seems like a dns issue; is this connected to a router? [02:45] !lamp | rommel092079 have a read [02:45] rommel092079 have a read: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [02:45] no but i think my provider has one [02:46] savio, no router? [02:46] bazhang, but i'm able to connect to internet [02:46] bazhang, on my side no [02:46] savio, directly to a cable modem? [02:47] bazhang, before a month ago i can get ip to eth0 using Backtrack [02:47] bazhang, yap [02:47] Can anyone tell me how to reverse everything I did using this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenProposed I did it, not my boot is 40x slower, with some random shit popping up on the screen. My networks stops working sometimes. I just need it completely removed from grub and all. How do I do this [02:47] savio, then you are running backtrack now? [02:48] nope ubuntu 12.04 [02:48] Treaver, no cursing here please [02:48] bazhang, but in windows it works fine [02:48] savio, do you need an ip on eth0, as in you have a cat-5 cable plugged in but can'y get a connection? [02:48] savio, what about bring the device down then up sudo ifdown eth0 , sudo ifup eth0 and trying again [02:49] can't* [02:49] ank0r, yes [02:49] bazhang, i'll try [02:49] bazhang, ifdown: interface eth0 not configured [02:50] bazhang, it has ipv6 address by default === pdq2 is now known as pdq [02:56] <|Anthony|> i re-sized an extended partition. after a reboot i went into grub rescue [02:56] <|Anthony|> how can i get grub to recognize the partitions that it had before [02:57] bazhang, ank0r ? [02:57] savio, yes? [02:57] bazhang, solution ? [02:57] savio, you wish to disable ipv6? [02:58] no? [02:59] Anyone have a fix for ubuntu laptops that run hot [02:59] every single ubuntu laptop I've had has run extremely hot [02:59] get a usb fan base, azend [02:59] |Anthony|: are you booting off of a logical partition? [03:00] never been an issue for me [03:00] azend, try different cpu governor? [03:00] but windows runs relatively cool [03:00] ank0r, me too [03:00] akls: perhaps [03:00] word, akls [03:00] |Anthony|, chroot from a ubuntu cd, do a few mount --bind 's, then update-grub2 [03:01] |Anthony|, and then grub-install /dev/ [03:01] bazhang, my interface file only contain this two line [03:01] auto lo [03:01] iface lo inet loopback [03:01] how do you adjust the kernel's cpu governor in the latest ubuntu [03:01] cpu fovernor [03:01] cpu governor [03:02] <|Anthony|> azend, the ubuntu partition is not in a lvm, it's a primary === matias is now known as Guest17377 [03:02] <|Anthony|> jagginess, i have subsequently installed fedora in a lvm and /boot in a primary [03:02] <|Anthony|> so grub2 did have a brand new install [03:03] no, really. there are some typing tutors for dvorak, but I can't find one for left handed dvorak. [03:03] <|Anthony|> in which it did not detect the ubuntu partition, but it did detect a win7 partition [03:04] |Anthony|, where's ubuntu? in an lvm? [03:04] <|Anthony|> nope, first primary [03:04] savio, have you tried any live cd's or pendrive distro's to see if they work with your ethirnet port? [03:04] <|Anthony|> well, second /boot is first [03:04] |Anthony|, huh? [03:04] <|Anthony|> sda1 is ubuntu [03:04] ank0r, my windows box works on my ethernet card [03:04] <|Anthony|> sda0 is /boot [03:05] akls: might be interesting to create one [03:05] <|Anthony|> sda3 is win7 [03:05] yeah, but linux can be a fininky bitch [03:05] |Anthony|, there's no such thing as sda0 [03:05] <|Anthony|> well w/e you get what i'm saying [03:05] jrib, :\ [03:05] |Anthony|, /dev/sda0 doesn't exists on any linux. [03:05] As of Precise, is unattended-upgrades still the recommended way to accomplish automatic updates on all my installed packages? [03:05] anyways good luck.. [03:06] <|Anthony|> +1 to each of the numbers than... but that is the order [03:07] |Anthony|, if you're using fedora's grub.cfg you should ask on #fedora [03:07] <|Anthony|> sda1 /boot sda2 ubuntu sda3 win7 sda4 extended [03:08] <|Anthony|> i installed fedora A) because grub borked and i couldn't boot B) cause i wanted to try it out [03:08] <|Anthony|> i was hoping that a new grub install would fix the issue [03:08] |Anthony|: #fedora [03:08] you tried to fix ubuntu's grub with fedora? that's absurd. [03:09] you don't fix grub by installing another distro.. [03:09] <|Anthony|> isn't grub grub? or is it curtailed for each distro [03:09] |Anthony|, i explained to you yesterday i remember.. [03:09] how can i free up space? i installed ubuntu with wubi so it's on my D: drive. and i have about 12MB left. any way to free up space? [03:09] <|Anthony|> explained what? [03:09] <|Anthony|> cause this happened today [03:10] <|Anthony|> like 4 hours ago [03:10] |Anthony|: cross distro, like croo repo, is ill advised at best. Also, to try other distros, consider virtualbox [03:10] and something is wrong with my system and i ran sudo apt-get install -f, and it found the problem but i have no disk spacee [03:10] brous_000: in terminal sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove [03:10] |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 [03:12] cfhowlett: and can you explain exactly what this does? [03:12] |Anthony|, fdisk -l pastebin, i think you manually partitioned and left out the partition-id . [03:12] um.... http://pastebin.com/23gLmAsa [03:13] 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] 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] help buddies [03:13] when i run sudo apt-get install -f it says i have insufficient space. so it's a circle... [03:13] brous thus freeing up space. [03:13] ank0r, bazhang ? [03:14] brous_000: try apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove to free up space first. [03:14] Ademan, look in the keyboard settings (system settings) [03:14] savio? [03:14] cfhowlett: i did, http://pastebin.com/23gLmAsa [03:14] <|Anthony|> jagginess, http://pastebin.com/YNdNx9Xn [03:14] ank0r, do you have any fix for it? [03:14] I say try some other cd or pendrive bootable linux distrom [03:15] distro [03:15] see if it acts the same [03:15] ank0r, but my windows machine works fine [03:15] brous_000: what size is your ubunt / partition? [03:15] jagginess: thanks but I'm pretty sure that doesn't do what I want [03:15] the ethernet card works (it does in windows) try another distro to see if it works out of the box [03:15] |Anthony|, /dev/sda2 shouldnt be mounted, do e2fsck /dev/sda2 [03:16] cfhowlett: how do i check because i dont remember [03:16] |Anthony|, or fsck.ext4 [03:16] ank0r, before a month ago i was using backtrack it works there [03:16] brous_000: df -h [03:16] seems like a driver / settings issue [03:17] 01 * * * * root echo "GET UP CRON WORKED !!!! " why doesn [03:17] brous_000: displays partitions [03:17] unfourtunatly I can't really say what to do [03:17] Guest83188: it has nowhere to echo it to [03:17] ank0r, whoes gona help me [03:17] cfhowlett: http://pastebin.com/iGmzkxaF [03:17] it print to screen I even tried > dev/stdout [03:17] lots of googling for your ethernet card chipset and driver instruvtionis [03:17] <|Anthony|> jagginess, /dev/sda2: clean, 354726/6406144 files, 13922565/25599577 blocks [03:17] savio, it's linux [03:17] ank0r, i also try changing interface file [03:17] you help yourself [03:18] brous_000: is this a wubi installation, i.e. installed via windows? [03:18] cfhowlett: yes... [03:18] ank0r, there must be way [03:19] 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] |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] I'm sure there is, if it worked under backtrack and windowsm savio [03:19] brous_000: fewer problems and more options being just 2 of the benefits of dual booting [03:20] they should get rid of wubi.. [03:20] cfhowlett: so you're saying that i'm sort of screwed for space? [03:20] because alot of people tend to want to get rid of windows [03:20] hei [03:20] ¿Alguien de Argerntina? [03:20] i agree with jagginess [03:21] <|Anthony|> thank you jagginess [03:21] 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] !alist [03:21] cfhowlett: okay, so how do i update? [03:22] brous_000: clear the logs, reboot and attempt update. Failing that, I see no way to avoid installing dual booot. [03:22] 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] !ubuntu-ar|NetSaurio: [03:23] standard out is output to the window the program is running in [03:23] but you should be able to pass it arguments to target a window [03:23] (i haven't programmed in years upon years) [03:23] well what is that when cron executes it ?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [07:48] Because I have it changed in gnome-tweak-tool. But the original mouse is here and it switches [07:48] Treaver: have you logged off and on since changing it? [07:48] 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] i can only try to translate to english [07:49] do you use ubuntu 12.04? [07:49] Yes I do [07:49] Yes I have [07:49] why is the damn Ubuntu appending "default domain" when I run hostname -f [07:50] can I change it somewhere ?? [07:50] wait just a second [07:50] sudo mkdir /usr/share/icons/default [07:50] deitarion: then why not use that, you have a source.. [07:50] sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [07:51] gyre007: Do yo have the -s switch? [07:51] ActionParsnip: It's not always reliable and sometimes takes a while to verify trustworthiness satisfactorily. [07:51] W4sp, on which command or what r u talking about ? [07:51] deitarion: the only trustworthy source are the official repos, anything else is questionable [07:51] gyre007: hostname [07:51] traver? [07:52] deitarion: if the system is a VM then make a snapshot and test [07:52] im setting Ubuntu against a Chef server...and chef-client is always calling hostname -f [07:52] in this file you have to write it: [07:52] [Icon Theme] [07:52] Inherits=tema_cursore [07:52] and that's appending for whatever reason "defaultdomain" bit to it [07:52] 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] I'm running a cron like so: 44 08 * * * /var/www/test/shell/daily.sh &> /var/www/test/var/log/daily.log [07:53] tema_cursore: is the name of you theme. you have to select the name of the theme in gnome-tweak-tool [07:53] 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] Although the cron runs fine, it discards the stdout and stderr [07:53] logoff and login [07:53] now you have your theme [07:54] c'è qualche italiano qui?

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] http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html [07:59] thanks [07:59] 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] gyre007: 'hostname-f' is designed to show the fully qualified domain name. You can change /etc/hosts but that can have undesired consequences. === giovanni_ is now known as Giothebest [08:02] deitarion: could ask in #git [08:02] ActionParsnip: Good idea.

See links from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [08:20] 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] 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] zetheroo: do the photo managers have addons, like backups?

Has anyone compared the realtive performance on netbooks of Lubuntu and Ubuntu, are there down sides I should consider? [08:47] (on a netbook) [08:47] isnt lubuntu same as ubuntu but with lxde as default DWM? [08:47] Shadow`: pretty much. Some different software packages and settings. [08:48] thought only dwm was different =p [08:48] what is the benefit of having all programs scatter their files around the file system? why not just have a folder /programs/ in which every program creates a directory structure for its own needs?

[08:49] RobinJ, I don't see where's the problem to call it pathetic [08:49] If I type my password and hit enter, at the login screen, it just goes back to the login screen. Choosing another session (like Gnome or Ubuntu 2D) makes no difference. [08:49] Shadow`, I've been here for a while. Never really bothered with this, thought it was unusual first, then I assumed there must be some great pros with this. But I still don't feel convinced.. Would you care to enlighten me? :) [08:50] RobinJ: terminal has natural language processing now. Just yell "why the !%& don't you work?" and a cool female voice will reply. [08:50] shookees, because it's been an unstable piece of crap, frankly. and this proves it once again. But that's not what I'm here for.

[08:55] Hey, what changes are being released with 12.04.1? [08:56] stochastic: stability updates [08:57] k1l, can you give any further specifics or major stability upgrades of note? [08:57] k1l, it can use them, clearly [08:58] 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 [08:59] stochastic: natty is a way better.. 12.04 is all about unity which is just useless and annoying.. [08:59] 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] stochastic: it's just a way to release new ISOs that are more up to date [08:59] stochastic: the 12.04.1 is like a servicepack1 [08:59] hateball, okay, that does explain things a bit better [09:00] starZ: m( [09:00] stochastic: dont listen to the unity-haters [09:00] * stochastic does hate unity (hence why classic gnome and XFCE are my desktop choices) [09:01] Hi, question: in ubuntu, how do you tell the screen saver not to engage when watching video on youtube? [09:01] stochastic: if you dont use unity anyway, why bother with goint with the 12,04? [09:01] k1l, I'm about to write release notes for Ubuntu Studio 12.04.1 [09:01] k1l: no sorry, to say it, this unity think is just a big loss of time.. [09:02] stephans, are you running a vanilla Ubuntu install? [09:02] k1l: ubuntu developper should focus on fixing problemes, not creating new ones.. [09:02] 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] 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.

[09:03] hi [09:03] ive been looking for a plain "latex" install package... on my ubuntu 10.10 [09:03] k1l: whining?? this is feedback --> user experience!! [09:03] stochastic, Any other languages like C++ or java [09:03] there doesnt seem to be one as a standalone package... or am I wrong? [09:03] starZ: nope.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [09:04] 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 [09:05] Newb100, there's lot's of languages available [09:05] k1l: I also checked for this in my stil alive ubuntu 12 , and same problem [09:05] Newb100, Python is just an easy entry point [09:05] anyone have a puush.me alternative for ubuntu? [09:06] stochastic, which of the languages would have the highest functionalities? [09:06] 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] stochastic, I.e. is the most versatile [09:06] stochastic: ok I will try that... [09:06] Newb100, they're all very versatile [09:06] MediaWork: you need a latex-distribution-package. there is no single-latex package [09:07] stephans, you could also try setting a hot corner on your screen [09:07] MediaWork: like texlive [09:07] stephans, where when you put your mouse there the screensaver will no turn on [09:07] cat foo | sed '/^\s*$/d' <- what's the sed command doing? [09:08] 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] k1l: as I feared, not at all very nice for small laptops - the smalles package seems to take 700MB [09:08] loome: i'd ask in #bash too [09:08] k1l: but I should have gone with pubby linux I guess [09:08] stochastic: can I do this with compiz config manager? [09:08] loome: \s is a whitespace iirc [09:09] loome: so sed removes empty lines [09:09] 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] delete white space until end of line? [09:10] stochastic: ok thanks! [09:10] hmm, alright. And the / after the first ' is to escape the ^, so it gets recognized as a special character, rather than '^' as a character?

[09:25] where does ubuntu store the encryption key for user folders so that it decrypts on login? [09:25] oh is that solely password based? [09:26] And it seems copy paste doesn't work from the error messages. === JadedSwin is now known as JadedHL [09:28] Hi. [09:28] hi JadedHL [09:28] I'm running a ubuntu lamp server and I'm wanting to install ffmpeg and flvtool2. [09:28] latest version [09:29] what's the best way to install these? [09:29] JadedHL, do you have a GUI attached to the lamp server? [09:29] or are you running the command line? [09:31] JadedHL: use apt-get aptitude [09:32] JadedHL: either is fine [09:32] command line only [09:32] JadedHL: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [09:32] !info flvtool2 [09:32] JadedHL, what ActionParsnip said. [09:32] 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] Jaddie: sudo apt-get install flvtool2 [09:33] you may need to enable the universe repositories first [09:33] JadedHL: ^ [09:33] which version of ffmpeg will that install? [09:33] !info ffmpeg [09:33] 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] 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 [09:34] hi, yeah I messaged the message about flvtool2 [09:34] JadedHL: sudo apt-get install flvtool2 (thanks stochastic) [09:34] JadedHL, flvtool2 is in the universe repositories so you may need to manually add those repositories first [09:34] cheers [09:35] 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] I've just freshly installed ubuntu 12.4 server [09:36] hmmm, so the universe repositories are listed as [09:37] deb http:/****/ubuntu/ precise universe ? [09:37] can anyone tell me if there's something wrong with this? http://pasteit.com/18592 [09:37] JadedHL you should take a read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [09:37] Do I remove the command on the deb and the deb-src ? [09:37] stochastic: ok [09:37] JadedHL, you may not need to edit anything, try installing flvtools2 first [09:38] if that doesn't work then troubleshoot the repositories [09:38] JadedHL: search the file for 'unuiverse' and uncomment the lines that have the word on the line [09:39] rax- what are you trying to do??? [09:41] stochastic: just apply updates and reboot if there's a kernel update [09:41] 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 [09:42] like it just jumped ahead and started the if statement before completing dist-upgrade [09:44] rax-, I see no part of that where the command is given to actually apply the upgrade [09:44] sudo apt-get -qy dist-upgrade >> /home/autopatch/patch-notes [09:45] does that not just send the output of the command to the file? [09:45] nah it logs the process to the file [09:45] it has worked before and after I think === mimor_ is now known as mimor [09:45] but this was the first time it was left to run through a kernel upgrade [09:45] * stochastic is slightly rusty on bash commands [09:46] could be a completely random fluke failure [09:46] flvtool2 installed fine [09:46] JadedHL, cool, so you've got universe enabled by default [09:46] yes [09:46] :) [09:47] I'm wanting to setup my server with something along the lines of this [09:47] http://linux.justinhartman.com/FFmpeg,_FFmpeg-PHP,_Lame,_Libogg,_Libvorbis,_FLVtool2,_Mplayer,_Mencoder,_AMR_Installation [09:48] rax-, sorry but I can't explain your anomaly [09:50] JadedHL, why? what is the purpose? personal use? [09:50] I'm learning php and video encoding/editing [09:51] .quit [09:52] hello [09:52] is there any1 in there ? [09:53] mobo: nobody at all [09:53] JadedHL, video editing through php? [09:54] yeah [09:54] that's a very strange way of video editing [09:54] well more making thumbnails [09:55] Jaddie: can't imagemagick do that [09:55] how do I knwo RAM on my PC using command line? [09:55] JadedHL, you'll note that that page you linked to doesn't use those tools in combination with the other lamp tutorials [09:55] researcher123: You can use free or top. [09:55] stochastically self-evident. [09:55] JadedHL, it's not even designed as a guided page for lamp setup === mimor is now known as mimor_ [09:56] W4sp: thanks [09:56] neuro_sys, funny [09:56] researcher123: very welcome [09:57] gbr-lds-dev-001.edfman.net [09:57] http://sniptools.com/vault/dynamic-thumbnailing-with-imagemagick-in-php [09:59] nice trick there ActionParsnip. Did JadedHL see it? [10:00] stochastic: no idea [10:01] anyways I'm off to bed. g'night all [10:05] en nu? [10:06] stochastic: ok, I'll ignore the page for now [10:06] ahh just saw the sniptools link [10:06] Reading now.... === darinandcrystal is now known as newnick === newnick is now known as sparkytrainor === root is now known as Guest61599 [10:18] mi [10:18] stochastic: no worries [10:20] trying to setup svn, but tutorial says to use htpasswd2, which isnt available, and using normal htpasswd isnt working -.- [10:23] Shadow`, You could always try Bazaar, or Mercurial.. [10:24] Not that there is anything wrong with SVN [10:24] SVN can be less of a pain than distributed RCS [10:26] we're using svn and im setting up a new dev system, however, as usual, its a pain the arse [10:27] God, why do people still use SVN.... [10:27] ahh yes.. hence the rule of 3 for development.. It's actually not the development which takes 3x longer [10:27] 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. [10:28] hi [10:28] * Auzy would ask for what #1 would be.. but, its offtopic === amir__ is now known as Guest66425 [10:28] 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] 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. [10:29] really awfull comparison [10:30] 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] Which mail client is the nicest to use? I have used Evolution and it was nice. Any others you could suggest? [10:30] Ascavasaion: depends on taste [10:30] thunderbird [10:30] Ascavasaion: [10:31] Okay, thank you :) [10:31] 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] also depends on server.. Kolab for instance integrates with some servers better [10:32] Exchange is better with some clients, etc [10:32] Ascavasaion: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-email-clients-available-in-ubuntu-linux.html [10:32] Shadow`: I'm not going to address the topic further in this channel. [10:33] Ascavasaion: i use unity-mail which tells me when I have a gmail, i can then use web mail [10:34] Debolaz: why on earth would u, why on earth did you bring your personal BS into this topic to begin with [10:34] im aware of alternative version controls [10:35] Shadow`: Its quite ignorant and dumb of you to say that, but if you want to have that discussion, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:36] 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] 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 [10:37] Shadow`: People who use namecalling really aren't in a good position to call other people childish. [10:38] what namecalling? saying your childish? bwhaha, srsly grow up man [10:38] yuka: do you have the bold version of the font? [10:38] hey [10:38] "bwhaha"... Alright, I think that settles that debate. [10:38] yes i installed it [10:39] yeah its illegal to laugh, im sorry mister! you are hilarious bro [10:39] yuka: I suggest you check it [10:39] Shadow`, Debolaz: stop [10:39] ActionParsnip, i installed the win7 fonts, refreshed cache right now [10:39] can you tell me what do i need to puit into my font-family rule inside css ? do i need to name exact name of linux font? [10:40] hey my dsl connection gives no eth0 address but i have ppp0 address [10:40] !adsl [10:40] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [10:40] savio, that was not a problem [10:41] savio: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?

[10:43] j`ey_w: then use your user account whom can use sudo to disable the account, then just use that which is how the OS is designed to be used [10:43] blackshirt, [10:43] j`ey_w: security [10:43] ActionParsnip: ok [10:43] ActionParsnip: but thats irrelevant for now [10:44] yes savio [10:44] j`ey_w: in ubuntu the account is disabled, why did you enable it? [10:44] I didn't [10:44] blackshirt, what you saying [10:44] j`ey_w: you must have, its not teh default config in ubutnu [10:44] ActionParsnip: *I* didn't, someone might have [10:44] anyway, point is, what can I do? [10:45] j`ey_w: use your user account in the admni or sudo group to use the OS [10:45] ActionParsnip: Not helpful [10:45] savio, what you mean? You ping my nick [10:45] I need to try change the admin account [10:45] I mean, I need to get root back [10:45] j`ey_w: log off and then select one pf the other accounts, se if they can use sudo [10:46] I can use sudo.. [10:46] so use it [10:46] j`ey_w: you don't need root if you have sudo [10:46] .. [10:46] j`ey_w: thats why it is disabled in ubuntu [10:46] blackshirt, in my windows box or before installing ubuntu 12.04 i was able to get eth0 address === user82_ is now known as user82__ [10:46] but now is not possible [10:46] so.. you don't know how to change the root password? [10:46] by using sudo, and not logging into root first [10:46] j`ey_w: sudo passwd root [10:46] j`ey_w: its not supoprted, advised or needed in Ubuntu [10:46] ferni: that works? [10:47] j`ey_w: i'll PM you [10:47] j`ey_w, you want root account password [10:47] savio: i'm on it [10:47] ferni: thanks [10:47] j`ey_w: check your PM [10:47] ActionParsnip, sorry dude [10:49] Hi everyone. I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general, and am currently using windows, but when I restart the computer, windows boots instead of linux, any help on making linux booting? [10:49] franzmar how did you install ubuntu? [10:50] franzmar, use your livecd to reinstall grub or uppdate grub [10:50] anyone [10:50] hey ActionParsnip, whatever i type in my css class for font-gamily or use url(url-to-my-font) , it uses Arial somehow .. on the end [10:50] instead of cambria bold [10:50] I installed with a cd containing the iso i downloaded from ubuntu.com [10:51] franzmar on its own partition, or wubi? [10:51] franzmar, your grub replaced by windows boot loader [10:51] franzmar: you can boot to the ubuntu liveCD and instate grub there [10:51] franzmar keep it in the channel please [10:52] franzmar: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video [10:52] hehe, sry, i'm a noob ;) [10:53] kk I'll try that link [10:53] I'm a noob. [10:53] not a problems === Administrator is now known as Guest84054 [10:53] After an update, I get a black screen on boot, right after the BIOS screen. Tried reinstalling grub from live CD, no change. What would you do? [10:54] soundray: what GPU do you use? === Guest84054 is now known as PiaoQianBin [10:55] 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] soundray: oh so its a virtual system? [10:55] anyone [10:56] help me [10:56] virtual system is unstable [10:56] ActionParsnip: yes [10:56] what is your problem [10:56] soundray: why wasn't that in the initial question? [10:56] savio start with a question [10:56] PiaoQianBin: It wasn't for the past three years [10:56] MonkeyDust, i have pppoe connection [10:56] savio, what your big problem with adsl? [10:56] soundray: have you tried disabling 3D accelleration and 2D accelleration, or enabling 2D accelleation and so forth? [10:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1162432/ [10:57] this is ifconfig paste [10:57] 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] no ethernet address MonkeyDust [10:57] sory savio, i can't follow your pastebin links [10:57] ActionParsnip: no, will try that [10:57] esmi.allalla.c o m [10:58] soundray: its virtualised hardware, not actual hardware, so its easier to tweak [10:58] blackshirt, why? [10:58] 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: tried the boot option: nomodeset [10:58] savio, i'm on s60 device === tesserakt is now known as c3l [10:59] ActionParsnip: is that an option to the kernel? [10:59] blackshirt, tell me what should i search for [11:00] soundray: yes, i'd try the graphical tweaks in the virtual settings first though [11:00] soundray: What is your meaning? [11:00] soundray: It wasn't for the past three years [11:01] savio, you said you can connect to internet.. [11:01] yah [11:01] exactly what you want to setup? === Guest50184 is now known as Freeaqingme [11:01] i am not able to get ip address in eth0 interface [11:01] blackshirt: basically eth0 has no IP but ppp0 does [11:01] PiaoQianBin: My virtualized Ubuntu installation ran rock-solid for three years. There is no stability problem with virtualization per se. [11:02] soundray: have you asked in #vbox as well? [11:02] but my windows box provide one for eth0 [11:03] ActionParsnip: good idea, will try if your suggestions so far don't help [11:03] soundray : if you do some experiment about network you will know that virtual box has a lot of limitation. [11:03] Hello everyone [11:03] savio, has your ethm managed by network manager? [11:03] Eth0 [11:03] soundary : so that was why I was saying virtual box is not stable [11:03] blackshirt, i don't think so [11:03] i have only dsl connection entry [11:03] guys, how to print to dev null? errors and print of process? [11:04] woozly 2>/dev/null [11:04] perl somescript_in_background.pl [11:04] thanks [11:04] PiaoQianBin: this is not an experimental system -- it's for my day-to-day work. I use the host NAT -- never a problem. [11:05] 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] soundray : yeah yeah I surrender [11:05] why? [11:06] Does anyone know how to solve my problem? [11:06] 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] i would like to ask. [11:06] TheWonderingGuru this is the ubuntu channel, not debian [11:06] soundray : what is your major?? [11:06] No duh. [11:07] I am using ubuntu studio and now my bootloader is gone. [11:07] :o [11:07] TheWonderingGuru nor is it the mint channel [11:07] PiaoQianBin: medicine [11:07] 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. [11:08] TheWonderingGuru, there is a linuxmint-debian channel in spotchat [11:08] My issue is the ubuntu studio bootloader enters rescue mode now and acts like it is not even there. [11:08] TheWonderingGuru ask in #ubuntustudio [11:08] ActionParsnip, blackshirt any search hint [11:08] what's involved in porting a gtk theme from 3.0 -> 3.4? [11:08] ThwWonderingGuru: I'll help you [11:08] i set up the xrdp everything... almost everything looks fine. if i connect via mstsc.exe i only see the gray bgnd and the big black X cursor. (pls dont blame me :)) [11:08] ActionParsnip, blackshirt just guide me what to search [11:08] Go to #ubuntustudio, I'll will be there, TheWonderingGuru [11:08] Thanks :) [11:13] savio: not sure dude, if you set a static IP, is it ok? [11:13] i set up the xrdp everything... almost everything looks fine. if i connect via mstsc.exe i only see the gray bgnd and the big black X cursor. (pls dont blame me :)) [11:13] rigo: please don't repeat so often [11:13] rigo: what do you use on the remote system once you conenct? [11:14] sorry. i tought i cant post. [11:14] i try to connect from an XP (lol, company pc) to my htpc runs xbmcbuntu [11:15] rigo: so you want to remotely control xbmc? [11:15] rigo better ask the admin at your company for advice, it's probably a local policy [11:16] well. i would like to reach my htpc-s desktop. just to use it. [11:16] rigo: surely if you are connecting from work, you won't be able to watch movies etc... [11:16] rigo: use in what way? [11:17] I have a question on Xubuntu: It seems I have lost my desktop/settings. The wallpaper I had chosen is no longer displayed and my desktop background is now only blue colored, icons+text also appear vague. The upper and down menu looks like they are fine and clearly colored. When I check desktop settings I do see my selected wallpaper though... What could be the problem? [11:17] well only to dunno.. browse. or only to check 1-2 things on the gui of the pc. to start the wmvare. stuff like that [11:17] My LDAP server is running, but "getent passwd" shows "server is unreachable" in syslog. [11:17] The syntax I'm using in /etc/nslcd.conf is "uri ldaps://127.0.0.1:1636" - is that correct? it has SSL and is running on that port [11:17] i dont think its a local policy issue === user is now known as anotheruser [11:19] rigo: It is. [11:19] rigo: you can start VMware VMs from command line [11:19] does the built in back up utility have logs to review to determine the state of the back up that was just done [11:19] rigo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=594561 [11:19] i know. than lets say i would like to learn it. to get familiar with linux stuff. [11:19] I am using 12.04 [11:20] rigo do it at ease at your home pc [11:21] rigo: Yep. Have fun. At home, doing that. [11:21] Hello, I just realized that my ubuntu 10.04 LTS server was attacked with a known vulnerability of the phpmyadmin package. Why isn't such a critical thing fixed in the LTS version? [11:21] it will work at home? i'll try and come back tomorrow ;) [11:21] i dont think. but if youll have right ill tell you! [11:21] anotheruser discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic, please [11:22] rigo: Well, install Ubuntu on your home computer, and use it, at home, on your home computer(s). [11:22] MonkeyDust, uh? how is that offtopic? It's about ubuntu [11:22] i use 7 on my home pc and xbmcbuntu on my htpc. [11:23] anotheruser, are you sure with pjpmyadmin? [11:23] anotheruser this channel is to help people solve problems [11:23] I'm actually trying to determine if the attack succeeded or not. And i'm worried, because i look at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-2506.html [11:23] setup/lib/ConfigGenerator.class.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.2 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.1 does not properly restrict the presence of comment closing delimiters, which allows remote attackers to conduct static code injection attacks by leveraging the ability to modify the SESSION superglobal array. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2506) [11:23] which seems to say that it's not fixed in 10.04 [11:24] MonkeyDust r u sure about gthis? [11:24] rigo: xbmcbuntu isn't an official derivative of Ubuntu. [11:24] rigo about what, exactly? [11:24] rigo: xbmcubuntu isn't supported here [11:24] anotheruser, i dont think phpmyadmin was good to manage your mysql database [11:24] that this room is for helping :P ok ok im just kiddin'! [11:24] that's not the question blackshirt [11:25] gotta go [11:25] Anyone know why nslcd can't connect to my OpenDP LDAP server, whereas other tools like lat can?

[11:26] Blazemore|Work: Can you ldapsearch it? [11:26] still cant make Cambria Bold font.. it works when using normal Cambria, but as soon as i put in the Cambria Bold, linux switched to Arial as if it didnt know. Can anybody help me please to fix this? [11:26] Blazemore|Work: And I would recommend this be taken to #ubuntu-server, for server-specific help. :) [11:26] if mysql workbench is not statisfied you Just do it in terminal [11:26] yuka: I suggest you reinstall the bold font after removing it [11:26] I usually do something about mysql in terminal [11:27] That's enough [11:27] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I intend to upgrade to 12.04 LTS, this should be possible through the update manager, however I see no upgrade appear. Should I wait longer, or is should the upgrade already be available? [11:27] ActionParsnip i will reinstall it ok, but i am 100% sure the font is ok as i copied it from linux box to windows desktop and even opened it to see its the right font [11:28] domanda: ho installato ubuntu 12.04 LTS con vari mount point - / e /home/ separati - però siccome ubuntu 12 non mi piace come quelli vecchi mi chiedevo.. non è che avendo fatto dei mount point separati per home e root posso cambiare sistema operativo formattando solo root?

[11:39] ActionParsnip: I had two virtual controllers, one SATA for /, one IDE for /home. Since the apt-get dist-upgrade, grub started regarding the IDE-attached disk as (hd0). Now I just need to find out how to fix that, probably in virtualbox. [11:39] soundray: sounds like a vbox settings [11:39] i think i don't have r8169 driver [11:40] soundray: or you could work out which drive is which and boot CD and instate grub to that drive [11:40] ActionParsnip: alas, not an exposed one. Will need to search [11:40] can anyone see why the if statment never evaulates to true? http://pastebin.com/wE3XjRTr [11:41] ActionParsnip: I'll work it out -- thanks anyway for your input.

[11:52] how can i reinstall the Session and Startup> Application Autostart on ubuntu [11:54] The second problem is about audio.

[11:54] shlafrock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [11:55] Lizard_: are you fully updated? [11:55] Nop, y avoid to update from this last update [11:55] Lizard_: it may help [11:56] that dual gpu setup on those optimus laptops is a dumb Idea ...whynot justone gpu with differnt power levels [11:56] BluesKaj: exactly [11:56] Okay, then I have to expand my disc first [11:56] BluesKaj: Because of the manufacturing process [11:57] BluesKaj: it is a temporary solution untill the can make it the better way imho [11:57] BluesKaj: You can either have fast hot transistors, or slow cool ones, but its hard to have both processes on the same die.

[14:37] technodict: possibly [14:37] w1ldrs:i got same square mouse pointer on some systems, never been able to solve those... [14:37] technodict: another possibility is that your acidentally locking the card as you insert it [14:37] lotuspsychje but it doesn't get install [14:37] how to count this process only eg (eggdrop,psybnc,znc,ircds,screen,flashpolicy demons) Not These Processes -bash (bash), ps x etc [14:37] technodict:if you format the sd from windows to fat32 and put back in ubuntu it should not give you errors [14:38] is there anything like preview.app for ubuntu where i can take a picture of my signature via webcam and paste it into a document? === axl__ is now known as axl_ [14:38] w1ldrs:clean install precise?

[14:42] lol [14:42] gratral : i guess the cheap chnese reader is to be blamed.! [14:42] gartral: its not based on any criteria I just want something that could switch between them with a hot key [14:43] auronandace: how come? [14:43] How do I go about getting names out of the things in /proc? [14:43] not pgrep...? [14:43] technodict:cardreader brand? [14:43] Marzata: manpower [14:43] ActionParsnip, in game there is a option to switch to opengl and i click it and it pops back out of opengl saying unable to enter that mode. but it works fine in windows but windows also has directx support as well. I'm just trying to use the OpenGL support but it seems impossible through java [14:43] datruth: then your hotkey IS the criteria. [14:43] lotusphychje : ENTER or something [14:43] datruth: as far as actually making it work... [14:43] lotusphychje : its an al in one card reader [14:44] hello!

[14:44] for dhcp server on 12.04, what am I to use? dhcp3-server? or isc-dhcp-server? [14:44] auronandace: only those? [14:45] roasted: they're basically the same thing [14:45] Marzata: i'd expect others too but not sure what they would be [14:45] Gnea: that's what I thought, but I have no dhcpd.conf file in /etc/dhcp3 like I expected.... [14:45] Marzata: certainly not whole desktop environments though [14:45] lotusphychje : i have been working with that card & reader for few months now.. it has worked fine.. i didnt require to insatll drivers [14:45] datruth: was it video or audio you wanted switched? [14:45] ActionParsnip, java se 7 [14:46] roasted: which one did you install? [14:46] Gnea: looks like it may be isc-dhcp-server to use in 12.04. just found this in a new set of instructions - sudo nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server [14:46] anyone knows how to find specific clipart in Libreoffice in Ubuntu 12.04? It seems no longer to be organized in themes...?? [14:46] Gnea: dhcp3 and isc-dhcp-server [14:46] Troy^: tried in a runescape channel? [14:46] Gnea: cancel that default idea. wrong thing.

I did dhcp work on here before with another project. I'll try a purge, perhaps. [14:47] ActionParsnip, i would assume 98% probablly are. [14:47] Troy^: try in #javasee if they can advise [14:47] roasted: or just copy and modify /usr/share/doc/isc-dhcp-server/examples/dhcpd.conf [14:47] technodict: you mean you had this sd card working on ubuntu before?

[15:04] br [15:05] ActionParsnip: the channel does not exist [15:05] Sokel: samba, cifs, and apparently nfs shares do not mount automatically after a reboot. There is a _netdev directive that can be added to the appropriate line in /etc/fstab to allow the network to startup before the volume is mounted but it is not honored.

At least that way, you don't need to use /etc/fstab.

Do I have to give my server 2 IP's? My firewall uses SAT so I would have to have one address that is internal and one that is publicly available right? [15:09] ActionParsnip: yeah, but I want to know if you've got some experience on it [15:10] Sokel: So rc.local is processed every boot? [15:10] capitaninsaneoh: Depends on where the webserver is going to be in your network. Is it going to be in the front of the line with the modem, or the in the back behind the firewall [15:10] !who | Sokel [15:10] Sokel: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:10] Motec: It is processed every boot. I process my iptables rules that way on ym router. [15:10] motec: Because I dislike using ufw. [15:10] Sokel: I'll give that a shot [15:10] Sokel, was planning behind it in the DMZ [15:10] epinky: never botherd. I have wifi routers for that [15:10] Motec: Let me know how it goes :) [15:11] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [15:11] epinky: uses a lot less power than a PC too :) [15:11] capitaninsaneoh: Alrighty. Good luck. I'll be here if you need me. You can pm me if needed. [15:11] capitaninsaneoh: I recommend doing specific rules. [15:11] capitaninsaneoh: You might want to look into that first. DMZ is not the answer. [15:12] ActionParsnip: it was a technical i-don-t-know.why-it-doesn-t-work question, but never minds :) [15:12] hi, I have an HP notebook with Ubuntu 12.04 and I've had always a problem with the fn key, it stays enabled a few seconds after released [15:12] Sokel, I'm trying to get the machine firewalled [15:13] the fn is used to use some keys with alternate functions [15:13] Sokel, I'd rather that than leave it open - naked to the Internet [15:13] anyone knows what the problem might be? [15:13] capitaninsaneoh: And why's that exactly [15:14] Sokel, Basic segementation is a rule that most security focused folks follow [15:14] Sokel, =) [15:14] 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. [15:15] 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] when it is maximized.. [15:15] 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] 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] MoteC: Make sure you chmod +x on /etc/rc.local. It'll help you out. [15:16] capitaninsaneoh: DMZ means it's wide open. Good on ya, Jim. [15:16] Sokel, Doesn't in this case [15:16] Sokel, that term is nebulous [15:16] Yeah. Right. lol Keep telling yourself that. [15:16] Sokel, OK. Thanks for your "help" [15:17] Aha... unetbootin. Am I going to be able to use this stick as regular storage after this process? [15:18] Hey, you're the one who wants a DMZ and thinks it's "secure" lol. [15:18] Sokel, What is your point? GO somewhere else if you want a debate [15:19] The point is: Don't be stupid. [15:19] Blocked. [15:19] Sokel: dmz = demilitarised zone? [15:19] auronandace: Indeed.

[15:20] theadmin: i've never really understood what that has to do with computers [15:20] 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 [15:21] kantlivelong: you can use the updates PPa rather than edgers itself [15:21] ActionParsnip: oh.? [15:21] kantlivelong: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [15:21] kantlivelong: less fresh, more stable [15:21] ActionParsnip: ah thx.. didnt realize it was in swat [15:22] was going insane :) [15:22] theadmin: oh, i was thinking of something like ground boudaries such as no-mans-land, why do they call that router setup a DMZ?

[15:42] Sokel: just putting mount -a in my rc.local did the trick. I'm back on track, I think! [15:42] 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 [15:44] MoTec: youcan [15:44] MoTec: Depends on the NFS host. A unix host will allow it. [15:44] MoTec: if i am correct samba/cifs is not the reason but the filesystem itself the file is stored [15:44] It's a Windows Storage Server 2008.. I guess I experiement and find out.. :) [15:44] MoTec: windows will use ntfs which cant hold posix acls [15:45] MoTec: doesnt matter if you use nfs, cifs or something else [15:46] NTFS is POSIX complaint.. Oh ,maybe not for ACLS, tho. [15:46] just naming, links, and timestamps [15:46] MoTec: yes, the acls will not mapped on ntfs [15:47] MoTec: and hardlinks are also not supported if i am correct [15:47] hard links are, from what i'm readying.. but acl are not [15:47] MoTec: then it was fat which cant hold hardlinks [15:47] i have some noob questions === WildFire is now known as Fireblasto [15:48] ive been breakin my back trying to get flash working on this 12.04 and i cant get it done. any help or at least where i can go to get some [15:49] Well darn..

Can someone give me a tutorial for installing ubuntu on btrfs ? thanks :) [15:50] exit [15:50] johonunu: brtfs is not stable [15:50] johonunu: if you dont know how to install a system with that then i would say you dont want it [15:50] MoTec: why on earth would you put /home on ntfs? [15:51] iceroot: i am using ubuntu for over 3 years, but haven't tried it ever [15:51] MoTec: No, permissions will be a huge issue [15:51] 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] iceroot: and i have to write papers about it [15:51] auronandace: my MAS has six TB of storage.. centralized backup.. built in redundancy.. [15:51] MoTec: why ntfs? [15:52] johonunu: you have to write papers on something you have no idea how to install, and have no chance of managing [15:52] that doesn't sound a good thing to do, especially on an unsable file system [15:52] auronandace: it's a Windows Storage Server. [15:52] ikonia: i would do it in virtualbox [15:52] that doesn't change anything [15:52] MoTec: as others have already told you /home on ntfs is a bad idea [15:53] Yeah.. I read that. I was just answering your questions [15:53] MoTec: remove windows and place GNU/Linux there for a real storage system [15:53] iceroot: thank you for your useless suggestion. [15:53] 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] MoTec you create a separate ntfs partition, that you can share between lin and win [15:53] could create* [15:53] MonkeyDust: ntfs is bad for /home [15:54] hi [15:54] iceroot i don't mean /home [15:54] MoTec: why not use a seperate storage partition? [15:54] 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] MonkeyDust: ah ok [15:54] 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. [15:55] 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] MoTec: on windows i guess you only can use ntfs, everything else is not stable [15:55] roasted: have you played with socket options? [15:55] ActionParsnip: I have not. I've never needed to. Things were always very fast. [15:55] MoTec: but maybe the server has buildin ext drivers which are stable? [15:56] 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] roasted: how's the laptop connected to the network? [15:56] bkc_: cat5e cable in between the system. No external access. [15:56] roasted: try some different options, may help [15:56] bkc_: I'm just trying to do a massive file transfer between the two systems. Nothing more. [15:56] 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] 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? [15:57] 7KB a second for some of these folders I need to transfer is giving me quotes of DAYS to complete [15:57] MoTec: samba4? [15:57] MoTec: what do you put on the /home partitions that you need access to them from windows? [15:57] MoTec: because samba4 can auth against AD (and also be an AD itself) [15:58] 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] auronandace: it's files transfered from vendors.. they were using ftp but for hipaa compliance i'm switching that to sftp. [15:58] iceroot: and yeah, samba4. [15:58] auronandace: seperate storage partition where? [15:58] MoTec: hmmm samba4 in a production system... i dont know if that is a good idea [15:58] MoTec better do that on a separate partition [15:59] erictr1ck: try copying it into your /home/username/.fonts directory and restart gimp [15:59] 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] seperate partition on the ubuntu server.. i could do that, i guess. [15:59] MoTec: use a local /home and mount in /home/username/storage the specific partition you want [15:59] 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] MoTec: there is no hard and fast rule that says you must absolutely use /home as a storage partition [15:59] MoTec that can be read by both lin and win, so ntfs [15:59] Assigning the user to /bin/false seems to also make sftp not work [16:00] Hi all. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and have static noise, when using microphone. May be anyone know possible solution? [16:00] MonkeyDust +1 [16:00] auronandace: yeah, i actually had their home folders on my samba share but had permission issues. [16:00] Lartza: there is a special login-shell for sftp [16:00] Dr_Willis: Might need to xset fp rehash [16:00] MoTec: yeah, you don't put /home on ntfs [16:00] Lartza: cant remeber the name, there you can only use sftp and nothing else (maybe see man ssh) [16:01] Dr_Willis: just copied over, the font doesnt register :( [16:02] erictr1ck: try a xset fp rehash, or perhaps log out/back in. [16:02] 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] iceroot, Not sure what I am looking for :/ [16:02] 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? Any sugestions???

If I push 200MB via cat5e to samba, it says to take 2 hours. I wonder if it's aNIC issue? [16:05] I just screwed up my hdd and have to physically disconnect. livecd wont boot if hdd is connected. [16:06] ksbalaji: sounds just like a wrong boot order [16:06] I've got a question about installing Ubuntu [16:06] Cheekio let's hear it [16:07] iceroot, But the user is still able to browse other folders [16:07] Dr_Willis: still not registering [16:07] I'm looking to dual-boot with win7 on my desktop, and when installing win7 I had the foresight to partition out my drives in anticipation of dual-booting [16:07] malkavian: have you tried muting channels in alsamixer whilst playng audio? [16:07] hola [16:07] Lartza: chroot [16:07] Lartza: or permissions that he can not access other folders [16:07] I'm using the live USB boot of Ubuntu to install to a hard drive [16:07] erictr1ck: id check at askubuntu.com [16:08] hola [16:08] but the options are using unfamiliar nomenclature and I don't want to mess anything up [16:08] Cheekio: are you wanting to dual boot? [16:08] Cheekio select 'something else', then [16:09] Yes, I would like to dual boot [16:09] !partitioning | cheekee [16:09] cheekee: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/switching/C/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [16:09] !partitioning | Cheekio [16:09] Well goodness... I can see and change the owner and group information on files on windows NAS in folders that my Ubuntu server is using as /home. A bad idea, maybe.. But it's working. I just had to use the POSIX tools..

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? [16:09] this is a super busy chatroom [16:09] So, for what it's worth NTFS _does_ store the proper ACL info. [16:09] Cheekio: resize the NTFS in Win7 after running a full backup and you can install Ubuntu to the freed space [16:09] ActionParsnip: Yes, but no result. If not using mic boost recrd is too quite, with mic boost or high capture there is to much noise :( [16:10] ActionParsnip: I didn't get a chance to try what you said for Samba, but fun thought - wireless via samba 200MB in 5 minutes. wired via samba 200MB in 2 hours. Weird. [16:10] I already have an equally sized partition to my win7 partition, unformatted [16:10] I've left this big chunk of space open because I'd heard conflicting things about resizing windows partitions [16:10] malkavian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure try the first command there [16:10] Cheekio: You are trying to dual boot? [16:10] To chroot sftp... Subsystem sftp internal-sftp? [16:10] Yes, @ GirlyGirl [16:10] Cheekio: is the space partitioned though? [16:11] Cheekio divide it further, so can have a separate /home partition -- you'll probably need an extended partition [16:11] Partitioned, not formatted [16:11] Cheekio: a pastebin of 'sudo fdisk -l' output would be handy [16:11] Cheekio: What os's are currently installed? [16:11] Cheekio: delete the partition and it will be accessible to the installer [16:11] There we go [16:11] Should I change the "Device for bot loader installation"? [16:11] lib's like glib, libssh, openssl, tcpdump etc are installed by default on ubuntu right? [16:12] ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll try and report results. [16:12] I have a 1TB drive that I'm working wit [16:12] Win7 is currently installed [16:12] Cheekio: boot drive is the hd you are installing to. ie: sda [16:12] Cheekio type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here [16:12] What is windows 7 again? [16:12] I'm typing on my laptop [16:13] Let me see if I can run that command via the live CD and connect to freenode via it [16:13] Cheekio: You'll need about 10Gb for Ubuntu, anything else will allow more user data, you can access the data on NTFS so you can use your files in both OSes. Windowsis dumb and can only access NTFS and FAT based file systems [16:14] It would seem that worked [16:14] Where is a console in a modern Gnome based Ubuntu?

How do I install Ubuntu in this free space? [16:33] I'm at the "Something Else" option, but the options available are seemingly limited [16:33] Cheekio: Make a partition there. Extended one. Then inside that a / (ext4) and a swap [16:33] Cheekio: you want to keep the files in the filestorage arees? [16:33] Yes [16:33] I do want to keep those files [16:33] why would a fresh 12.04LTS install close connections 0 - 30 secs after they are opened regardless of port? [16:34] marioand23: De nada. [16:34] Cheekio: you do have backups? [16:34] The drive is pretty empty [16:34] Dr_Willis: I tried to do something with testdisk and it has become troublesome.

[16:35] any ideas on what i could look at? the various daemon logs show nothing [16:35] 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] Cheekio: id move it all to the windows drive. then just in case. ;) [16:35] Dr_Willis: what is a hdd usb enclosure please?

[16:36] Yes [16:36] it is unallocated [16:36] should be an option to use it in the installer.. [16:37] or make a extended in it. and a logical for / and a logical for swap [16:37] then tell the installer to use those [16:37] Wow [16:37] that was weird [16:37] alright [16:37] Okay, so I was trying to shrink a partition to dual boot ubu on an xp machine.

I want to know what you have turned on [17:14] Do you know if webkitgtk supports the images management in webpages? [17:14] EDinNY: It would only be the same if I had same PC, (same sound chip). [17:14] I've looked for in the documentation [17:14] but I've not found anything yet [17:15] usr13, I know that, but I might get an idea of what I am missing [17:15] Do you know something weither have some other links?

Can you move part of what is in your root to another partition? [17:21] kwyjibo: How big are they? [17:21] kwyjibo: What are their sizes?

[17:23] betArk lvswap... it's your swap partition that isn't being recognized [17:23] usr13: and how! [17:23] kwyjibo: I should take that as a yes? [17:23] Goldwing: yes it is my swap, I have created it on LVM. Could that be an issue? [17:23] usr13: yeah [17:24] betArk : how much ram does your system have? [17:24] Goldwing: 8GB [17:24] kwyjibo: So right now, you are just working from the 16G only? [17:24] well, i wouldn't worry about it then, except when your system runs large databases [17:25] EDinNY I am trying to find how much out of the Gbit interface is being used [17:25] usr13: yes. and gnome has this HUD thing always popping up at the bottom, suggesting i eject the sdcard. very intrusive [17:25] Goldwing: but does this mean that my swap isnt working at all? [17:25] looks like it, yes [17:25] Goldwing: hmm.. damm? [17:26] kwyjibo: Ok then. My suggestion would be to use the 32G for /home/ the 16G for / [17:26] with 8gb... i wouldnt worry to much [17:26] usr13: 16Gb, sounds a lot [17:26] hi, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and having issues with getting magic lamp to work everything else seems to work on compis except that and other windows effects wobbly does fine. i just feel like their must be something i do not know [17:27] betArk : do a [17:27] usr13: a lot of unused space then? can it just treat the two as one device? [17:27] bekor: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i compiz [17:27] Goldwing: yes, but have created the swap also for hibernate etc. [17:27] betArk : do a "cat /etc/fstab" and paste the swap line [17:27] kwyjibo: No [17:27] betArk : do a "cat /etc/fstab" and paste the swap line here [17:27] anybody here's using unbound ? [17:27] sorry not sure what you mean [17:28] hi! [17:28] kwyjibo: pastebinit /etc/fstab #Give us resulting URL [17:28] Goldwing: oke, one sec.

[17:29] how do i get that into the terminal? [17:30] GoldStandard: /var/cache/apt/archives [17:30] bekor: copy and paste it [17:30] actionparsnip thanks!

I have created an Ubuntu installer with RAID 1, Encryption and LVM. Swap is on the encrypted LVM partition [17:34] Goldwing: why is the last line visible? [17:34] you mean the cryptswap? [17:34] yahoo messenger working in ubuntu 12.04? [17:35] Goldwing: Yes, is that the correct line to enter the encrypted LVM partition for swap? [17:35] which channel should i go to to find support for rhythmbox [17:35] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163045 [17:36] 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 [17:37] chamunks: you can use the '-y' option [17:37] hello everyone [17:37] hi [17:37] kwyjibo: sudo fdisk -l >info;sudo blkid >>info;pastebinit info;rm info #And send resulting URL [17:37] Goldwing: but I only have an swap on the encrypted LVM. So no two. My disk: /boot - Encrypted LVM (with lvroot, lvhome, lvswap) [17:38] i have a problem- i need a dictionary, so i downloaded stardict and goldendict, but i didn't succeed to use dictionarys that i downloaded from babylon [17:38] How do I get the system to hibernate automatically when the system gets to reserve power? Right now it just shuts down as if with `sudo shutdown -h now` [17:38] is it ok to ask questions away here? [17:38] can u help me? :) [17:38] !ask | confusion [17:38] confusion: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:39] is it normal to see traffic in "lo" [17:40] I've been reading a very long thread on the ubuntu forum about backups using tar, but I couldn't see anything in 100+ pages that does what I want; to restore on a VPS in a way that deletes any files that are present, but not included in the backup. Any takers? [17:40] i have almost same traffic than for "eth0" [17:40] betArk : hmmmm.. never tried that before, testing swap.. [17:40] I trying to configure sendmail but i can't find sendmail.mc at /etc/mail/ is there other place that i should look? [17:40] Goldwing: or see if it is mounted? [17:40] you would need to fill up the RAM to test the swap [17:41] uskerine: lo is just loop-back interface [17:41] Goldwing: What is the best way to learn ubuntu, and iptables? [17:41] i know that [17:41] 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] so why should it have same traffic than eth0 [17:41] is that correcT? [17:42] well, i'm positive it's mounted, otherwise it would have given an error [17:42] brb [17:42] is there an easy way to apt-get upgrade multiple servers easier then just ssh and apt-get 5 or 6 times? [17:42] possibly if you let a script do that for you [17:42] I read not to cron job it incase it need new configs [17:43] 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] racha:rsync --delete might do what you want, i doubt tar can do [17:43] ActionParsnip, thanks === codingenesis is now known as Guest8672 [17:43] Thanks, llutz, I'll give that a try. [17:44] usr13: I work with a NAT router, but have enver built one. Any suggestions? [17:45] racha: You may evaluate rsync. You can configure rsync so that files no longer available in are removed from . That's the way I understand your requirements, that is. [17:45] can ubuntu one be stopped/started like a service in a multi-user environment [17:45] ? [17:45] like enable or disable for all user [17:45] like enable or disable for all users [17:45] (via console) [17:46] 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] 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] 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] So that when I mess up installing stuff I don't have old files kicking around [17:46] betArk: Hishnakoya? [17:46] tziemann_: If you have an unused PC and about 3 network cards, you can build a NAT router. [17:46] racha: Then rsync is the one you may wish to use. Tar can't do it for you.

Select your DE from a list next to your name. [18:09] Hi, I was on here yesterday asking about my wireless connection. I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu.

[18:14] newb2linux wrong channel [18:14] Or find something that you /do/ like. Because somepony's probably already had the same dislike you have and made a different version that you'll like.

The choice is yours. I recommend Ubuntu or Xubuntu [18:16] newb2linux: This is #ubuntu to take on technical challenges. [18:16] newb2linux choose a distro of your liking and try that [18:16] ^ [18:16] what is debian [18:16] *sophisticated* [18:17] newb2linux: do you have an ubuntu support related question¿ yes or no¿ [18:17] [Question] "ls lgrep /" works and prints only dirs -- but why/how?

If you ask which is the best on #ubuntu, they will say Ubuntu. If you ask which is the best on #slackware, they will say Slackware. [18:18] newb2linux: maybe ask on http://unix.stackexchange.com/ or http://www.superuser.com/ which one would be good for you? [18:18] what is unity [18:19] wilee-nilee: I don't know. This is not my computer. How can I find out? [18:19] newb2linux: a desktop environment. Default one for ubuntu [18:19] @newb2linux the userintarface [18:19] hey why ubuntu not use gnome [18:19] google say gnome is the best desktop interface [18:19] google says many things [18:19] i need to upgrade mesa drivers [18:19] newb2linux: ubuntu uses gnome [18:19] newb2linux: it's all a mater of opinion [18:19] on ubuntu 10.04 [18:19] newb2linux: you can probably make it use gnome… [18:20] newb2linux: It is a matter of preference [18:20] please help me. [18:20] newb2linux: gnome3 is used. [18:20] !gnome [18:20] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [18:20] Persona24: `lscpi` I think [18:20] !gnome3 [18:20] GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources.

[18:23] can somebody help me by telling me why do I have a doubled CNAME record on "dig www.embedded-systems.ro" [18:24] usr13: Hasn't been. . . Pretty sure you was helping me last night ont it.

This is what it said "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [18:26] why ubuntu has no virus [18:26] Persona24: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38327/how-can-i-get-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-working [18:26] newb2linux: Because it is Linux. [18:26] newb2linux: because Windows is still the most popular, so most malware is written for Windows? [18:26] ok so no graph-database experience in here/. [18:26] Linux is also more secure, I think. [18:26] newb2linux: There are some, however since 98% still runs windows, it isn't efficient for virus writers to make linux virusses. [18:27] Moonlightning: Not exactly. It is because Linux is different, and not vulnerable. [18:27] What is the market share of linux nowadays? [18:27] lordievader: Pretty big. [18:27] very big. [18:27] usr13: Did they like take package manager off in 12.04? >.> I can't find it [18:27] 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] lordievader, unknown, [18:28] usr13: How many percent roughly? [18:28] lordievader: smartphones, routers, server, embedded systems, everything running linux with more or less the same kernel [18:28] virus problems are not our concern, not a threat. Just leave it at that. [18:28] 1.53% of people use Linux...so not very big usr [18:28] lots and lots of servers [18:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems [18:28] the internet is run on linux [18:29] very big. [18:29] I was talking more about desktops... [18:29] jhourani: Dono where you get your stats but.... ???? [18:29] not to mention android [18:29] i provided a link [18:29] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems [18:29] I was talking about virus targets [18:29] effective virus targets [18:29] L3top: What? [18:29] 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] L3top: Yes in that way, linux does have quite a share, in servers and what not. [18:29] not to mention i am a software engineer...and the only nerds still using this archaic OS are us seems like... [18:30] however interesting this discussion about Linux and viruses is, unless you have a direct support question, could you please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic?

[18:35] W4sp: newbzilla the flash player that is in there is new enough and at this time will perform waay better than the alternatives (in terms of flash objects on the web will work) [18:35] last time I will ask then I will go away. ANY experience with graph-based databases in here?! [18:35] jrib: offtopic will yeild nothing i expect [18:35] deadmund: the latest avalable is 11 on 12.04 [18:35] W4sp: yep [18:35] jhourani, have you tried ##linux [18:35] deadmund, i've had to use the google chrome flash quite a few time actually, because the old flash plugin didn't work anymore [18:35] goddard: yield has nothing to do with it [18:36] anotheruser: I didn't think chrome used some different flash than the one that was installed on the system [18:36] even when i restart the browser it just says plugin has crashed when i try to view pages [18:36] jhourani: ask a specific question (i.e. if someone answers, "yes", what would you then ask) [18:36] this is a totally fresh install of 12.04 with the updates [18:36] newbzilla: what page? does youtube work? (so it's installed, it's just crashing) [18:36] deadmund, google chrome includes his own flash, that's the only thing supported by adobe now [18:36] anotheruser: I see [18:36] I cry why does not the the [18:36] How can I get the battery status from the command line on a PowerBook G4 running 12.04.1-LTS? I've tried installing acpitool, acpid, and kacpimon, but I still don't have an `acpi` program… [18:36] newbzilla: Do you have google chrome installed? [18:36] deadmund: From terminal you can run 'apt-get install flashplugin-installer'. [18:37] chromium != chrome though, be careful [18:37] Hi, how do I get the installed AMD driver version? [18:37] deadmund: Sorry, wrong nick. [18:37] W4sp: haha [18:37] :) [18:37] jrib: on what planet? [18:37] and yes, any flash page like youtube says crashed. installed chrome as well and its not either doing the same thing or its just showing an empty black box like a video that dissappears when i hover over it [18:37] newbzilla: From terminal you can run 'apt-get install flashplugin-installer'. [18:37] Moonlightning: check for some info from /sys/class/power_supply/BAT* though there are probably more user-friendly ways [18:37] newbzilla: how old is your system? Do you have some flash stuff open on some other page? [18:38] W4sp: He already has it installed [18:38] newbzilla: Why did you install chrome? [18:38] windows will not boot up wass should I do?

[18:38] MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: use ##windows for help with windows [18:38] newbzilla: Maybe if you uninstall crhome and fix firefox, you will have a better go [18:38] Is there a list of remommended AMD Drivers for a 'old' 4850 radeon card? I'm not sure which which one may be the best with which kernel ... it's so confusing [18:38] 1grub | MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [18:38] MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: /join #ubuntu-de wenn du hilfe willst und nicht nur ein troll bist [18:38] !grub' [18:38] deadmund: Sorry mate.

[18:41] jrib: I would ask if they have ever used Neo4j or OrientDB [18:41] The Radeon 4850 is a quite good card, but I have always issues with it with Ubuntu 12.04. I don't know which Kernel and driver you would recommend for it... [18:41] MonkeyDust: it launches but does nothing [18:41] jhourani: I don't think you understand my point. [18:41] newbzilla: one big thing is to make sure all of firefox and flash is dead by looking at top or ps -e [18:41] I am thinking I dont care much about your point if it doesnt help me out [18:41] not sure what u mean deadmund === erealz is now known as Erealz [18:42] jhourani: you're more likely to get help if you just ask your real question [18:42] newbzilla: When you 'restart firefox' you have to make sure that the processes have ended. You can do that by seeing if they're listed in top or ps -e those are both terminal commands. [18:42] oh duh, i restarted the whole pc [18:42] newbzilla, just install google chrome (not chromium) [18:42] flash is included [18:43] newbzilla: that's more than good enough (completely unnecessary in my opinion). What are your pc specs? [18:43] In February 2012, Adobe announced to discontinue its NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux from version 11.2. Newer versions will not be available from Adobe, but integrated with Google Chrome, using its PPAPI instead. [18:43] newbzilla: hold off on installing chrome just yet [18:43] Dum Adobe [18:43] yeah i did the chromium thing by mistake yesterday [18:43] how do I bring an OrientDB graph into Gephi to view it? [18:43] or Cytoscaper [18:43] jrib: /sys/class/power_supply on my system is empty [18:44] Moonlightning: that's all I know about it [18:44] newbzilla: chromium is just as good as chrome. Maybe slightly dated. But has the user tracking / privacy invasion stuff removed. [18:44] deadmund, and the flash support removed. [18:44] Hey, all. Having an install issue. Want to install on 16GB USB, but gives me an error: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." Unable to access any 'partitioning menu'. Any thoughts?

[18:49] knyn: cause on Windows I hadnt such a problem [18:49] jotek: Use a lighter browser. [18:49] When booting it gives me the option to try or install [18:49] knyn: for example? [18:49] I chose install [18:50] Mikness: Both. [18:50] jotek: then use ligher programs, like Midori Browser [18:50] got a predicament.. chrome has borked somehow, ive got a new chrome window being dragged around, i cannot release it, how can i kill chrome or fix this dragging issue? i can get to terminal, but i cant maximize the window so cannot get the pid's of chrome, any ideas? [18:50] Mikness, please also use nicks tab will complete the nick. You need a seperate cd or usb to install to the usb. [18:50] joket: Let me have a look for you. [18:50] xangua: Midori Brower, huh, interesting [18:50] What exactly are you trying to do Moonlightning [18:50] Midori, that's it. [18:50] i need help [18:50] L3top: I'm trying to get battery status. [18:50] to upgrade mesa drivers on ubuntu 10.04 [18:50] Can someone tell me some light programs that will change my actually used? [18:50] As much information as the system can provide, but even just percent remaining will be fine. [18:50] wilee-nilee, thanks [18:50] 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. [18:51] jotek: ? [18:51] W4sp: Lubuntu works worst than Xubuntu here. [18:51] guy [18:51] Mikato, no problem the something else option is on the where you want ubuntu gui on the install. [18:51] Moonlightning: you can install acpi [18:52] and get status for many things in terminal [18:52] wilee-nilee, I'll try using another usb on this one [18:52] L3top: I've tried installing acpitool, acpid, and kacpimon, but I still don't have an `acpi` program. [18:52] when I start one download on Firefox, my internet speed go very slow, why it? [18:52] jotek: That's unusual. If you have to run application 'Example' there'a probably not much difference anyway. [18:52] Moonlightning: what version ubuntu are you on? [18:52] hi, can someone help me with stardict- i can't use the dictionarys i downloaded [18:52] !info acpi [18:52] L3top: 12.04.1-LTS [18:52] acpi (source: acpi): displays information on ACPI devices.

[18:53] L3top: package-not-available error [18:53] Moonlightning: then something is wrong with your sources.list. It is right there in universe [18:54] glauco29: You would need to check if the connection to the source is fast. Try an alternative hast, if possible. [18:54] W4sp: I dont need "Blueman" for example. [18:54] wilee-nilee, is fat32 a good idea for an 8GB USB? [18:54] alternative hast, what is 'hast'? W4sp [18:55] glauco29: Also, there are speedtests available. However, they are often inconclusive and aim to lure you into a new ISP contract. Beware. [18:55] L3top: okay, how do I fix it? [18:55] Mikness, For loading the ISO only yes for a full install no. [18:55] glauco29, W4sp: best speed test is to download a large file. ;) [18:55] on Windows I can download on firefox and access web normally, on ubuntu it goes slow [18:55] 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] Mikness, Your wording on the 16 gig suggested a full install is that what you want? [18:56] jotek: You're at the low end with your hardware, memory is crucial for performance. [18:56] I am not talking about my internet connection [18:56] Moonlightning: can you please pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list and also the output of ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d [18:56] about ubuntu when I am downloading a file [18:56] at least on firefox [18:56] L3top: okay, hang on… [18:57] I get page not found if I try access while downloading [18:57] glauco29: I see, please change the browser to isolate the issue then. [18:57] 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] ok W4sp, I will try it later [18:57] glauco29: 'Page no found' is error 404 and has nothing to do with your download link. [18:57] reload do solve [18:57] wilee-nilee, so, I'm using the 16 to install on the 8, and vice versa [18:57] glauco29: Try wget [18:58] wilee-nilee, make sense? [18:58] how can I use wget usr13? [18:58] glauco29: Yeah, wget or curl. [18:58] Mikness, a full install correct? [18:58] glauco29: Choose "Copy Link Location" and use wget [18:58] wget or curl to download a file? [18:59] yes? I believe I already have the ISO on each drive [18:59] L3top: http://pastebin.com/mu8DezLz; /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty [18:59] wilee-nilee, Yes? I believe I already have the ISO on each drive [18:59] glauco29: wget Ctrl-Shift-v [19:00] Moonlightning: very odd. sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install acpi === n is now known as Guest36760 [19:00] Moonlightning: Odd because that should all be correct [19:00] my networkManager is missing [19:01] Cong: sudo apt-get install network-manager [19:01] the icon is not on the top bar [19:01] Mikness, you need the iso on one to do full install on the other, boot the usb with the ISO hit the install, and use the something else option on the where you want ubuntu , choose the usb for the install hit change choose ext 4 format and / and then check that gru is going to that usb.from the [19:01] L3top: still getting package-not-available [19:01] grub* [19:01] Cong: nm-applet [19:01] usr13, I think it's installed. just missing.

[19:02] Moonlightning: I notice the ports.ubuntu.com in the sources.list, is this arm? acpi only builds on i386 amd64 [19:02] trism: It's ppc… [19:02] Moonlightning: doesn't build for ppc either [19:03] Yeah… [19:03] usr13, An instance of nm-applet is already running. [19:03] So am I just out of luck? [19:03] Cong: Are you on 12.04? [19:03] Mikness, I'm concerned that we are not on the same page here, [19:03] nope, 10.04 [19:03] yeah, i think we are === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:03] ahhh good catch trism [19:03] wilee-nilee, I'm at the editing partition window [19:03] usr13, I the icon from the top bar is missing. [19:04] Mikness, did you choose the something else option from the booted ISO usb after hitting the install start? [19:04] wilee-nilee, chose Ext4 journaling file system [19:04] !panels | Cong [19:04] Cong: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:04] Moonlightning: there may be other ways, do you have upower? [19:04] Moonlightning: ls /proc/acpi nothing there I guess? [19:04] wilee-nilee, yeah, was already there [19:04] Moonlightning: something like: upower -e; to find a device, then upower -i /path/to/device [19:04] trism: no, I'll try that. Hang on, updates… [19:04] Cong: Well, you could just ditch network-manager for wicd [19:04] wilee-nilee, gives the option "Format the partition" below where i chose ext4 [19:04] L3top: no /proc/acpi either [19:04] Mikness, cool so ext4 correct there is a format box there yes, and a dropdown choose / [19:05] Cong: sudo apt-get remove network-manager;sudo apt-get install wicd #And reboot [19:05] wilee-nilee, yep, done. should I format as well? [19:05] yeah... as trism said... was a waste of a question to ask Moonlightning. [19:05] L3top: huh? o.o [19:05] Mikness, then check that grub is pointed at that usb on the main something else screen it is a dropdown. [19:05] Mikness, yes let it format that usb you are installing to. [19:06] no acpi on non 386 systems Moonlightning. Was a waste of time to look for it. [19:06] Cong: sudo apt-get install wicd;sudo apt-get remove network-manager #And reboot [19:06] Mikness, it will wipe that usb. [19:06] Cong: did you already reset the panel¿ [19:06] L3top: oh, okay… [19:06] reset didn't work, still the same old same [19:06] wilee-nilee, file system dropdown:ext4, format partition: check, mount point dropdown: / [19:07] it was there but it vanished when I installed the nic drivers [19:07] wilee-nilee, "Device for boot loader installation:" shows the correct USB name [19:07] how do i use pkg_manager? [19:07] Hi, is there any reason _not_ installing Ubuntu 64bit? [19:07] wilee-nilee, wiping is fine. Should be good to go? [19:07] for _not_* [19:07] trism: yes, I have `upower`, but `upower -e` returns nothing (with exit status 0) [19:07] 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. [19:08] any way to do a repartition [19:08] ? [19:08] xangua, still here. [19:08] I've got blurry screen / noise / grain after changing to a new monitor, tried to re-install drivers (doesn't fix the issue), tried to install post-release update drivers (jockey ends up with errors), tried to dpkg-reconfigure fglrx.. nothing works.. using Ubuntu 12.04LTS x64 with an ATI card.. Any clue how can I solve this? [19:08] hey basically I made a button for this terminal application on unity and whenever I click on it, it opens a new terminal and runs the program. Is there a way to have it be treated as a seperate program from terminal? Like for example If I hope up another terminal application then it will group with that and I don't want that :x [19:08] Moonlightning: hmm, I'm not sure then [19:08] wilee-nilee, k, thanks a lot. How do I get the current usb (16Gb, with the ISO) installed the same way? [19:09] Cong: already tried to manualy adding the network ¿ nic drivers¿ [19:09] xangua, no. [19:09] anyone? [19:09] 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. [19:10] Hi Frostbyte :-) [19:10] wilee-nilee, will probably do that [19:10] hey w4sp, we've got new issues :P [19:10] wilee-nilee, will a 2GB work, or is that too small? [19:10] Is there any way to use a different console font? I rather dislike all of the available ones… === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:10] Frostbyte: I knew I could reley on you. ;-) [19:10] how can i figure out what versions of grub I have installed? I have an aching feeling that i have grub 1 and 2 installed.. [19:10] Moonlightning: install Myunity to change font settings [19:10] hahaha [19:10] Cong: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules do you have any ethernet devices defined there? [19:12] why does this show my damn pictures to everyone? [19:12] L3top, yeah. [19:12] http://192.168.1.87:8080/My_Pictures [19:12] Mikness, needs to be at least I believe 4.5 gigs for installer to work on a full install, you can load the ISO to a 1 gigger [19:12] you've got any clue on how I can solve this weird issue, w4sp? :P [19:12] wilee-nilee, let me rephrase: is a 2GB USB too small to hold the ISO and install to another USB? [19:12] SoulBurner: 192.168.*.* is a local subnet [19:12] Mikness, ^^^^ [19:12] You can't access it from outside the LAN. [19:12] how do i uninstall google chrome on 12.04 after in installed it through a .deb [19:12] xangua: okay, installed `myunity`…now what? [19:13] newbzilla: dpkg? [19:13] newbzilla: sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable [19:13] zamn: You can run 'grub-install -v' to figure out what you have installed. === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl [19:13] Moonlightning: open it ans go to the Fonts tab [19:13] xangua: can I do this via the command line? I have a display problem and it's hard to see anything in the GUI. [19:14] wilee-nilee, k. also got this when I tried install: "You have not selected any partitions for use as swap space." blah blah blah. Do I need to set a swap partition? how big for the 8 and the 16? [19:14] does anyone have a moment to help me figure out why wicd wont connect to wep networks? Im thinking I need a new wireless usb, i can connect to WPA and Open networks just fine but DHCP isnt assigning any ips to WEP networks for some reason. Even when I try manually [19:15] …GUI it is. >.< [19:15] Mikness, You can use a app called swapspace in ubuntu and avoid the swap partition, not sure if it will hibernate though if you need that. [19:15] wilee-nilee, after install? [19:16] fmercafferty [19:16] On a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10 or later with no other installed operating systems, GRUB 2 will boot directly to the login prompt or Desktop. No menu will be displayed. [19:16] grub isnt doing that [19:16] it just sits at the menu :o [19:16] my firefox fonts are unreadable on a clean install. what can i do to improve this? [19:17] Mikness, yeah just run a update and upgrade then sudo apt-get install swapspace this is a app that will build a swap file as needed, and remove it when not needed. [19:17] not unreadable, but uncomfortable on the eyes [19:17] ctrl + [19:17] :D [19:17] wilee-nilee, thanks a bunch! [19:17] Here's a bot to play with: http://micha.azuru.net/micha/micha.html [19:17] Mikness, no problem. ;) [19:17] how can I boot into console mode from a live CD? [19:17] terminal [19:17] dang, same question i asked earlier but now i can do it... [19:18] zamn: A new installation? 9.10 is is three years old? [19:18] whats the command for uninstalling google chrome [19:18] xangua: unexpected error from trying to launch myunity… [19:18] newbzilla: I told you already, sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable [19:18] thanks theadmin i crashed my console a minute ago and lost the command [19:18] W4sp: its 12.04 [19:18] zamn: do you mean me? [19:18] I mean when i start my computer it just sits at the grub boot screen waiting for me to select the OS [19:19] systemclient: You normally boot into text mode by appending "text" to your kernel commandine. [19:19] systemclient: I don't see why livecd would be any different [19:19] systemclient: But if you want to install through text mode, I suggest the alternate cd [19:19] zamn: If you had 9.10 it will right boot into your login screen. You have GRUB2 as 9.10 is/was shipped with version 2 [19:19] theadmin: I just want to rescue a very old system [19:20] W4sp: yes but its not doing the behavior it says it would do on thne grub page [19:20] systemclient: Oh, okay then, uh, may I suggest you the System Rescue CD? [19:20] systemclient: http://sysresccd.org [19:20] theadmin: I would need to burn that [19:20] ok, my main issue that i was working on earlier was that i cant get flash to run. any help [19:20] systemclient: Or boot it off a USB [19:20] zamn: Well then. You would need to describe the problem. [19:21] systemclient: Though, this is Ubuntu support, I guess I shouldn't suggest Gentoo-based stuff here [19:21] hello guys, i'have installed ubuntu minimal 12.04. During the boot i see just a black screen, is there any way to restore the normal kernel and daemon messages? [19:21] W4sp: when i start my computer *nothing* is being automatically loaded. Grub 2 just loads up and sits there waiting for me to hit enter to go into an operating system. There isn't even a timer. [19:21] theadmin: as long as it works, I do not mind [19:21] zamn: Does it boot when you press enter, does 'tab key' work? [19:22] theadmin: It is a Pentium 3 Computer. I doubt that it can boot from USB [19:22] i cant get flash to work on firefox. what am i doing wrong? [19:22] Anyway, brb [19:22] W4sp: yes it works fine when I hit enter but I want it to automatically boot into an os [19:22] it keeps saying plugin crashed [19:22] newbzilla: did you install flashplugin-installer? [19:22] yes i did, sysclient, how can i verify? [19:23] zamn: I see. You can check your grub config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If WAIT is -1 it will wait for a prompt. [19:24] Can someone take a look at this jockey log exempt? http://pastebin.com/g0hC4kWD I'm trying to figure out why post-release does not install. [19:24] W4sp: there is no 'WAIT' entry in there [19:24] when i run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer it says i already have the newest version [19:25] newbzilla: hi, I'm back. [19:25] zamn: Sorry, it is 'GRUB_TIMEOUT'. [19:25] hey, thanks deadmund [19:25] newbzilla: still having problems? Do you still get that flash is crashing and not just missing right? [19:25] yes [19:26] newbzilla: firefox -> addons -> plugins. WHat flash is listed there? [19:26] windows + L does not lock computer [19:26] hold on, im navigating there now [19:27] zamn: You must run sudo update-grub afterwards. The amoutn is in seconds. 'GRUB_TIMEOUT=30' will give you 30 seconds to respond before it boots into the default. [19:27] W4sp: i have 2 lines that are: set timeout=-1 and 2 lines later set timeout=5 [19:27] no GRUB_TIMEOUT [19:27] W4sp: I cannot find control panel [19:27] tziemann_: What desktop environment do you have? [19:27] walk me through getting to that, firefox addon plugins [19:28] am i doing this with firfox open? [19:28] newbzilla: open firefox, do you have a firefox button or the traditional file, menu, view, tools menu [19:28] ubuntu [19:28] newbzilla: You're doing it in firefox [19:28] i go dashhome > firefox [19:28] newbzilla: sure, whatever, open firefox however you want :) [19:28] W4sp: err its this:http://pastie.org/4576256 [19:28] haha right? sorry, im SUPER noob in ubuntu [19:28] Hello. I'm seeking to upgrade my server from 10.04.4 to 12.04.1. When I run 'do-release-upgrade -c' I get "New release 'precise' is available'." However, when I load I get a 404, and nowhere on ubuntu.com do I see functioning references to or updated text about 12.04.1. Is there any way I can be certain that 'do-release-upgrade' is specifically referring to 12.04.1, rather than 12.04? [19:29] Whats best way to identify user via a terminal, between normal user, and sudo-user? [19:29] zamn: zamn comment the timeout and set GRUB_TIMEOUT as per documentation (see above). [19:29] 'who' doesn't seem to display different info [19:29] the only options for firefox while its open is home, lol [19:29] hi I am trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1, but I am getting you have held broken packages - when I run apt-get update I am not getting any error messages - what to do? [19:29] ah... 'whoami' lol === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [19:29] abend, gibt es für den starter eine möglichkeit den zu pimpen, mit myunity habe ich die hintergrundfarbe ausgeschallten und ihn verkleinert, aber zufrieden bin ich nicht über google habe ich auch nix gescheites gesehen :-( [19:29] Um, can I get some help with that jockey log? (http://pastebin.com/g0hC4kWD - post-release updates don't install) [19:29] i have a websearch google bar and address bar but not file or option or anything [19:30] newbzilla: in the url bar type: "about:addons" without quotes and press enter [19:30] thanks [19:30] mcgwiz: 12.04.1 isn't actually out yet, although it is expected sometime today (not that it should really matter for an upgrade) [19:30] tziemann_: That is in system settings, there's an icon with a monitor. [19:30] trond-, Do you have 10.04 backed up or at least what you can't lose? [19:30] newbzilla: For the record, the menu for any open app is part of the top panel (like on OS X) [19:31] thank you [19:31] it says shockwave flash [19:31] newbzilla: but anyway, you're there, so now look at the plugins and see what type of flash / version you're running [19:31] Hello [19:31] newbzilla: shockware flash version... ? [19:31] Anonymous! [19:31] trism: thanks. what do you mean it shouldn't matter for an upgrade? [19:31] 11.2 r202 [19:31] newbzilla: mmm, that's the newest version. What other plugins do you have? [19:31] mcgwiz: because the repos already have the upgraded packages, it is just the isos that haven't been updated yet [19:32] sk [19:32] trism: gotcha, thanks much! [19:32] zamn, Look in /etc/default/grub [19:32] 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] tziemann_: In system settings, keyboard you can see in 'shortcuts' and set the desired key combination. Meta4+l for instance [19:32] divx web player, djview, icedtea, itunes, libreoffice, quicktime, shockwaveflash, vlc multimedia, windows media [19:32] thanks [19:32] wilee-nilee, I haven't done it, but I can definitely do it. [19:33] 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] moes: what am i looking for? GRUB_TIMEOUT? its set to 5 right now [19:33] do i just type pkill firefox in the term? [19:33] newbzilla: yes [19:33] trond-, I would, I would not do a upgrade myself personally but a fresh install, but that is just me. [19:34] ok did that, then started through terminal. now try flash or recheck my addons? [19:34] 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] thanks for the info though [19:34] 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] newbzilla: play some flash website and make flash crash and look at the terminal for any errors [19:36] 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] trond-, Good I would do the fresh install then. [19:36] newbzilla: make sure you're testing on youtube. [19:37] newbzilla: I don't know what is wrong. [19:37] terminal always opened on startup, why? anybody can help me? [19:37] yes im on youtube, its just not working haha [19:38] Which ATI blob driver works with Kernel 3.5? [19:38] 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] newbzilla: Beyond that I do not know [19:39] i ran the purge, now type what to reinstall?\ [19:40] newbzilla: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [19:41] E: package 'flashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate [19:41] thats what came up [19:41] newbzilla: oh, poo. Hang on [19:41] deadmund: It's been "flashplugin-installer" for a long time now [19:41] newbzilla: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [19:41] I think we differ on what a 'long time' is :P [19:41] flashplugin-nonfree uses flash 9 [19:41] newbzilla: He's right about the name though [19:42] BluesKaj: flashplugin-nonfree is not a package anymore [19:42] reinstalled checking now [19:42] newbzilla: k [19:42] it's listed in synaptic, deadmund [19:42] !find flashplugin [19:42] Found: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, flashplugin-downloader, flashplugin-installer [19:42] BluesKaj: You're right: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=flash&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [19:43] if i could provide you a screenshot i would, but same thing [19:43] doesnt say crash anymore, just a grey screen [19:43] newbzilla: http://www.postimage.org/ [19:44] lol now how do i screenshot and save it into an uploadable file? [19:45] Does the adwaita theme engine come installed by default on 12.04? [19:45] how can I convert a plain text file into xml from the command line? [19:45] 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] Kroach: By editing it and add valid xml formatting. [19:46] Kroach: That question does not make sense. xml is just plain text with everywhere [19:46] probably, im not joking or trying to be stupid but maybe [19:46] newbzilla: Ok. First take the screenshot. Do you need help with that? [19:46] I want to generate tags automaticly, so that quotes get converted into \", etc. [19:46] lol i figured that part out, im lucky [19:47] newbzilla: where did you save it? [19:47] http://postimage.org/image/d74lx2qvj/ [19:47] you got it [19:47] Kroach: Thats not necessarily valid XML. [19:47] deadmund: It looks to me like it just isn't finished downloading the flash player / video. How fast is your internet connection? [19:47] Kroach: How does the computer know where to put the tags? [19:48] 24megabits [19:48] newbzilla: that's a value, not a rate. [19:48] but, if you mean 24 megabits / second, that's fast === nausicaa is now known as ghostchick [19:48] yes [19:48] deadmund: I think it does, when I create a new page in CMS I enter plain text and it gets converted [19:48] Kroach: CMS? [19:49] Kroach: Then only the CMS does know where to generally put tags. [19:49] Kroach: Thats absolutely nothing your computer knows. [19:49] 24megs down per sec [19:49] 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] bekks: isn't there some command-line utility with the same functionality? [19:50] Kroach: No. [19:50] ok so yeah, its not downloading still haha [19:50] damn [19:50] first time i notice that there are 3 floodbots :P [19:50] sorry, im at work trying to resolve this issue for a customer, cant figure it out but ive also never used ubuntu. [19:50] newbzilla: I don't know :( [19:50] 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. [19:51] anyway, when i want my sql database to accept incoming connections, should i remove bind-aress from the config ? [19:51] 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] bekks: oh, that makes sense, I didn't use many CMS so I didn't know, thanks [19:51] Plumblum: No. Yous should configure a valid bind-address, rather than 127.0.0.1 [19:51] newbzilla: can you pastebin the output of your dmesg for me? paste.ubuntu.org [19:52] bekks, im assuming because that is safer ? [19:52] newbzilla: sorry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [19:52] newbzilla: dmesg is a terminal command [19:52] bekks, is there a way to add more adresses to that list ? [19:52] Plumblum: Because thats the only way to control the address your database binds to. [19:52] Plumblum: You have to take a look at the documentation of the database to get that info. [19:52] 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? [19:53] bekks, it cant be that hard to tell mysql to allow incoming connections ? [19:54] hi all [19:54] newbzilla: You there? [19:54] Plumblum: Just configure a valid bind-address. The advanced configuration of that specific parameter is covered in the documentation. [19:55] yes [19:55] bekks, but one ip wont do... [19:55] what did you mean dsmg or whatever [19:55] i guess i have to go through the documentation [19:55] newbzilla: run dmesg It's a terminal command. copy and paste the output here: paste.ubuntu.com then give me the link [19:57] ok sorry, didnt get what u needed but im doing it now.

[20:01] !defrag [20:01] 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] Moonlightning: The ext file system to be exact. But yeah. [20:01] man that kinda stinks, but thanks for all the help. anywhere else i can go to troubleshoot? [20:01] Ooh. Thanks. ^^ [20:02] 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] thanks broski [20:02] 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 [20:03] 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] is 12.04.1 out? so I can upgrade my 10.04 servers [20:03] vn: yep [20:03] deadmund: nice, as of when? [20:03] vn: 12.04 came out in 20_12_ in _04_ (April) [20:04] yes, but I meant .1 [20:04] vn: ohhh, sorry, didn't see that. [20:04] vn: I have no idea about that [20:04] k :) [20:05] vn: cdimages are still being tested. [20:05] Pici: so it's a matter of days? [20:05] newbzilla: Do you have a flash or ad block plugin? [20:05] vn: more like hours. [20:05] o.O [20:05] thanks === zz_scottas is now known as scottas [20:07] im not sure about that, do i check the same way i did for the flash? [20:07] newbzilla: yeah, but it's in the addons section, not the plugins section [20:08] newbzilla: in fact, do you have any firefox settings / bookmarks or anything? [20:08] nope, fresh install [20:09] newbzilla: do this: close firefox, run this command mv ~/.mozilla ~/.backup.mozilla open firefox again, test flash on youtube [20:10] mv ~/ (is there a space here) .mozilla? [20:11] newbzilla: mv ~/(there is no space here).mozilla [20:11] newbzilla: you can copy / paste this: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.backup.mozilla [20:12] so i type it just like this then mv ~/.mozilla ~/.backup.mozilla [20:12] newbzilla: yes just like that [20:12] newbzilla: You can try it. Messing it up won't do anything bad [20:13] newbzilla, or if you want to use nautilus (file manager): First CTRL+H (to show hidden files and folders), then find .mozilla - then right click on it and choose rename - and rename it. [20:14] is chris pirillo really a puppy? [20:14] trond-: newbzilla that is the equivalent of the command I gave but using the gui [20:14] I have a 64mb file i'm trying to backup using rsync to another server(its a new server though), i'm doing: rsync -a -u -z -v -e 'ssh -i /home/Scripts/keys/mylocalhost-rsync-key' /var/backups/test_postgresql_backup/mybackup.20120823203622 root@IP:/home/backups_store/new_system/db_backups It says: sent 105 bytes received 20 bytes 250.00 bytes/sec total size is 66778013 speedup is 534224.10, but no files are transfered, and no errors either. An [20:14] y ideas please? [20:14] ah thanks causei keep getting mv: cannot stat '/home/user/.mozilla; no such file or directory [20:14] deadmund, I know. For some using the shell is daunting. [20:15] Hi there. 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. I tested driver etc. the whole eve but nothing worked. so I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. Thx and sry for my poor English [20:15] i fix [20:15] ed it [20:15] newbzilla: really? ARe you on the live CD / live USB ? [20:15] newbzilla: why is your username 'user' ? [20:15] trond-: yep, thanks :) [20:15] because thats what i named it [20:15] lol [20:16] also, i have a .backup.mozilla but nothing else that says mozilla [20:16] newbzilla: oh, you already moved it! :) [20:16] haha good then i guess [20:16] now what? [20:16] 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] newbzilla: start firefox, test flash [20:17] still no luck, i was so happy too :( [20:17] grey still [20:17] newbzilla: mmmm IDK ! :( [20:18] this is making me want to /wrist [20:18] lolz [20:18] sar [20:18] newbzilla, have you searched the web for ubuntu firefox flash ? [20:18] yes [20:18] trond-: are you kidding? [20:18] i did that yesterday [20:19] for several hours, this was my last resort, the chat [20:19] You'll find about 10,000,120394812304821 different threads all of them people not having any idea what is going on [20:19] If I connect to a server using SSL, could a third party see what port number I'm connecting to? [20:19] newbzilla, should be an easy fix for this though... tried this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/89932/flash-not-working-in-firefox [20:19] deadmund, some are not used to search the web see ;) [20:20] reading it now, looks familiar but i dont know if ive read thjis same one. im on a different version of ubuntu [20:20] 12.04 [20:20] not 11 [20:20] newbzilla: do you have any other flash things installed? gnash or otherwise? [20:20] trond-: newbzilla we already tried installing uninstalling installing flash [20:21] newbzilla, should be the same approach. [20:21] no, fresh install with only what you guys have been telling me to install [20:21] so if I want to upgrade my 10.04.4 servers to 12.04.1 is it just dist-upgrade or its something else? [20:21] newbzilla: open synaptic and search 'flash' [20:21] vn: that confused me too… [20:21] dist-upgrade doesn't update the OS [20:22] what synaptic [20:22] Hi there. 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. I tested driver etc. the whole eve but nothing worked. so I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. Thx and sry for my poor English. Note: it don't depends on the mouse === michael is now known as Guest56500 [20:22] It's like upgrade, but it allows new dependencies to be installed. [20:22] Do you guys think contacting Canon about developing linux drivers for my printer would be worth the time? [20:22] newbzilla: synaptic is a gui program, search for it in the dash [20:22] Moonlightning: so, what does [20:22] newbzilla, follow the directions on that page. Start with the apt-get purge command. This command will remove all files related to flash [20:22] do-release-upgrade [20:22] ok, thanks [20:22] trond-: we already did that [20:22] ive already done the purge command and reinstalled, and flashaid is no longer up [20:22] newbzilla: I have to go :( Good luck! [20:23] thanks [20:23] newbzilla: I think you should search for flash in synaptic and make sure you have no other flash stuff installed. [20:23] newbzilla: and what is your problem? [20:23] newbzilla: good luck! :) [20:23] Peetee: When he tries to play flash the flash content doesn't load. [20:23] flash is not working [20:23] Peetee: Here is the image he sent me: http://postimage.org/image/d74lx2qvj/ [20:23] what are some good tools for ubuntu customization [20:24] newbzilla, http://askubuntu.com/questions/108989/adobe-flash-not-working-in-firefox [20:24] goldstandard: ubuntu tweak, my unity, gtk 2/3 themes [20:24] soliloquy1 ty [20:24] i just got an error when trying to run synapticsw [20:25] newbzilla: ain't no w on the end of it [20:25] newbzilla: synaptic [20:25] newbzilla: WHAT ABOUT CHROME? [20:25] newbzilla: have U tried google chrome? [20:25] is the problem still? [20:26] oh god, I'm reborn since I dumped firefox for chrome.. [20:26] newbzilla: also: sudo synaptic ;) [20:27] vn have U tried sources.list with rerouted servers? [20:27] vn I mean upper distro [20:27] 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? [20:28] vn I mean automatic mirrors with upper distro [20:28] specificly http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/opencv [20:29] vn precisely: upper distro URL path [20:29] Hi. [20:29] hi [20:30] vn it was just experimental idea [20:30] Peetee: na, anyway I just started do-release-upgrade [20:30] o/ [20:30] back in the days yes, I went in source.list and just changed the version name [20:30] I'm having a strange problem, and no search is finding it. I'd appreciate the help. [20:31] vn I had always had some problems with dist upgrade, some programs couldn t work anymore after update, but I support innovation [20:31] Salah: your problem:? [20:32] hi... does someone have the skype 2.1 in .deb? [20:32] Peetee: yea I know the thing...especially with perl, but never got a problem with basic packages [20:32] When I log in to my user, the screen says "Plymouth server disconnected" then puts me back at the login screen. [20:32] such as postfix, apache, mysql, pgsql, ... [20:32] This does not happen when logging in to other users. [20:33] hi, I've tried to upgrade to 12.04 but the upgrade process fails every time after downloading 100MB of packages [20:33] Salah: Have U tried delete bad config files from your account as root? [20:33] mm4: maybe hd is full? [20:34] mm4: is your connection OK? [20:34] yes [20:34] hd is 27% only, intenet is fine [20:34] Peetee: As far as I know there was no trigger. I don't mess around with sudo. [20:35] but last time I was installing some security updates I had to interrupt and since then I cannot upgrade [20:35] mm4 do U have good sources list? /etc/apt/sources.list? like: deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt natty main restricted universe multiverse [20:35] deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse [20:35] deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt natty-backports main restricted universe multiverse [20:35] deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt natty-security main restricted universe multiverse [20:36] Peetee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:36] whats the command to install chrome [20:36] If I can access my encrypted home folder from the stuck account I would not mind creating another account. [20:36] newbzilla: download deb package from google and then in terminal sudo dpkg -i google....deb [20:37] newbzilla: where deb is the path to deb file [20:37] Peetee yes, I have a lot of sources there [20:37] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-chromium-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html [20:37] Salah, that is chromium not chrome [20:38] the problem is not downloading the packages but something fails at the end [20:38] is there a console way to upgrade ? [20:38] newbzilla, no progress in flash in firefox? [20:38] wilee-nilee: Isn't Chromium just Chrome for Linux? [20:38] mm4 and clean installation? I have heard it is sometimes better to do it clean from instCD [20:39] mm4: of course don t forget to backup your data [20:39] no progress in firefox, want to know if chrome has it preinstalled [20:39] Salah, yes, but the user is trying top install chrome. [20:39] Peetee yes, you're right, I should do that [20:39] to* [20:39] Salah, different installs is all. ;) [20:40] Oh. Sorry, then. [20:40] newbzilla, don't think it has... did you get any information on any flash-alike plugins installed when running synaptics? [20:40] So does anyone know how to decrypt a given user's home folder from another account? [20:40] i dont know how to use synaptics, it confused me. want to walk me through what im looking for? [20:41] newbzilla: Have you tried install Adobe Flash plugin in software center? [20:41] yes p [20:41] *to install [20:42] newbzilla: I don t know if it is true but I have read on one server that Flash is dead project for Linux (correct me anyone if it is not true) [20:42] yes and no [20:42] flash as a standalone plugin is dead. [20:42] newbzilla, let's start here: in Firefox - write about:plugins - See if you have flash there (should say something like shockwave) [20:42] flash in the form of chrome's pepper plugin, no [20:42] Yes, the Flash plugin for Linux is dead, according to several sources. [20:43] 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 [20:44] OnyxRaven: I looked up the project and couldn't find anything. I recommend to contact the developer directly. (Interesting project.) [20:44] its in debian, can i just add their experimental tree to my sources.list and do the install? or is that dangerous [20:45] Salah: Adobe ceased active development for Flash about a year ago. They focus now on HTML5. [20:45] OnyxRaven: please don't mix repositories [20:46] Salah: That's a good thing given its history of security flaws and Adobe's lack of capabilities to fix it. [20:46] I'm guessing that's a bad idea, W4sp, since ubuntu and debian have very different versions [20:47] hwkiller-netbook: I'm not suggesting to mix anything. I asked to contact the development team directly. [20:47] ya [20:47] er oops, W4sp, I highlighted the wrong person [20:48] 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] looks like there's some PPAs on launchpad [20:48] I meant to address the person asking [20:48] W4sp: Is there a disadvantage to moving to HTML5 ? [20:48] OnyxRaven: Did you see hwkiller-netbook 's comment re. mixing 'repositories'? hwkiller-netbook is correct highlighting the risks. [20:48] sorry for the delay, been through that before though and yes, flash is there [20:48] I did. and yeah, i'm not going to do it heh [20:49] shockwave flash 11.2 r202 is what i have [20:49] So far, I've been using the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX option, so fallback doesn't read-only my partitions [20:49] but when I grub-reboot 1 [20:49] i can create a installation cd with all my modifications and apps? [20:50] the friendly recovery menu waits for user input and I can't get past it without a keyboard connected. [20:50] 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). === bobbyaldolAFK is now known as bobbyaldol [20:51] Who's developing HTML5? [20:51] can I disable root in nautilus? meaning I want to be able to open, copy, and edit files in Nautilus without having to worry about becoming root first [20:52] newbzilla, right. same as I have. [20:52] Here's a silly one - is there any way to manually map hostname resolution? I'm at work and our local DNS server doesnt want to talk to my machine, I need to map a static local IP to a hostname [20:52] Salah: that has nothing to do with ubuntu support [20:52] enneract1: /etc/hosts [20:52] failedassertion: thanks ~ === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb [20:52] you guys are ridiculous with the topic thing. If someone has a question let them ask it...geez [20:52] enneract1: np [20:53] newbzilla, what is the output of: update-alternatives --list mozilla-flashplugin [20:53] !ot | Salah [20:53] Salah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:53] run those one after the other? [20:53] Oh. Sorry then. [20:53] what the spanish channel called? [20:53] newbzilla, on one line [20:53] jhourani: you don't want auto-root... ever... ^^ [20:53] enneract1: I would need to know exactly what your DNS server want to tell your machine. [20:53] jhourani: not possible in a 1700+ support channel [20:54] * knyn is away: I'm busy, message me and I'll reply when back. [20:54] W4sp: I'm getting SERVFAIL on nslookup [20:54] !es | recon_lap [20:54] recon_lap: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [20:54] recon_lap: #ubuntu-es [20:54] !away > knyn [20:54] knyn, please see my private message [20:54] W4sp: this is a windows house, unfortunately. There is me and one other person out of 90-odd people that use linux [20:54] /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [20:54] bkc_, I just hate the inconvenience. like what if I want to download an application directly to /opt? [20:54] I should be able to do that [20:55] and all the windows machines can resolve the hostname [20:55] jhourani: that's just a bad idea... :/ [20:55] hi all... i have a old dv2000 laptop running ubuntu 12.04, and when I'm using it on battery the sound keeps "clicking"... it seems to me that sound is in powersafe mode or something and keeps going on and off... still, if i'm playing a mp3 or anything that uses the sound, the problem doesn't happen.. any advice? === maximilian is now known as Guest84722 [20:55] really? so it is convention to download it elsewhere, unpack or un-tar or whatever, then 'sudo mv' it to /opt? === tziemann_ is now known as help [20:55] jhourani: that would mean that every web app has full access to your complete system [20:56] jhourani: what guntbert said... === help is now known as Guest27407 [20:56] did yo7u get that last bit i put up? [20:56] jhourani: how often do you do that? [20:56] hmm...maybe 2 or 3 times a week? === marcelo is now known as Guest18958 [20:56] newbzilla, hm, same here... [20:56] just a pain [20:56] max payne [20:56] ^haha [20:57] jhourani: why so often? what are you trying to do with your system? [20:57] guntbert, too much morphine [20:57] i am a software engineer...always using new devlopment tools [20:57] 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] is there a way or can i mirror any installed ubuntu to another box, and how? [20:57] constantly downloading stuff seems like lol [20:57] !tab | jhourani [20:57] jhourani: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:57] violina chill out [20:57] newbzilla, yup... I have the same path [20:58] How can I set full unattended system and applications updates? [20:58] jhourani: it's hard to follow new questions if you dont specify who you are talking to [20:58] jhourani: better listen to good advice [20:58] W4sp: no doubt. Unfortunately, its a windows house, and the windows machines can resolve it, so it isn't going to be fixed. [20:58] i am a guru. [20:58] f00bar80: Mirrored servers as in SFTIII isn't supported. [20:59] newbzilla, flash is not working on any sites? Have you been to adobe.com and tested it there? [20:59] 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] trond-, flash for linux is dead.. unless mozilla adopts pepperapi to use chrome's flash releases [20:59] enneract1: Tha'ts easy then. You can mod /etc/hosts for the few Linux boxes as only your local domain and some hosts withing your office are affected. [21:00] newbzilla, could you check if this site is working for you? http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [21:00] some info please about using backtrack!! [21:00] guntbert its not that its "hard"...just annoying lol [21:00] !backtrack | abdelghani [21:00] abdelghani: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [21:00] Hi! - I have a ATI PCI video card that seems to use some of PCI-PCIe bridge, it appears in lspci as "04:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX8112 x1 Lane PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev aa)", but isn't detected by the ATI drivers, I'm wondering if anyone has a hint? [21:01] marsfligth: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html [21:01] jhourani: use the repos then [21:01] yes I know some can be apt-gotten....but I also use a lot of other tools that arent [21:02] jhourani: you really should adhere to tested "best practise" - only run a command as root when really necessary [21:02] I sudo that. [21:02] ok guntbert i got ya. Just looking to save myself a few minutes a day...you know us lazy engineers :) [21:03] but good point about web apps having access to my machine...def not a good idea [21:03] sudo vs "su do". [21:04] how to take a full ubuntu system backup [21:04] 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] f00bar80, i use sbackup just for /home [21:05] f00bar80: You can use tar, cpio or dd perhaps? [21:05] W4sp, for all the system backup? and how to restore it on a new installation? [21:05] f00bar80: there's partimage too [21:05] guntbert what is your process for downloading and installing an app? (not from the repo) [21:06] jhourani, untarring, autoconf, make, and then use dpkg package tools [21:06] f00bar80: or you should look into a disk imaging backup solution like http://clonezilla.org/ [21:06] f00bar80 apt-cache search clonezilla [21:07] 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. === hg is now known as Guest92197 [21:07] trond- it loaded the page but there were no videos or errors either === Nausiicaa is now known as blacck [21:08] jagginess, soooo may steps though! haha [21:08] f00bar80: doing it that way will allow the installer to give you drivers for your new hardware, etc. [21:08] f00bar80: Load the CD and use tar, dd or cpio for a restore. If you want more there is sbackup (python, ), online services and such. [21:08] list channels [21:08] jhourani: 1) cd ~/downloads 2) apt-get whatever.tgz 3) tar xzf whatever.tgz 4) less README INSTALL 5) .configure 6) make (or whatever those files tell me) 7) sudo make install [21:08] f00bar80, there's no point backing up anything outside home, except for third party .debs of course.. packages are always being updated.. [21:08] 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] Hi everyone. i have the following question: after logon i see the following message in the console: [21:08] !mirror [21:08] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Precise, and help keeping the servers' load low!

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [21:10] marsfligth: faster full updates instead of only security updates [21:10] k1l: /dev/mda is 450 GB [21:10] jhourani: :) - my fingers almost do it by themselves - but I rarely need it :) [21:11] nethus: honestly, i cant predict the time [21:11] I just installed cinnamon and i saw gnome classic in the sessions options, was it already there !!? or cinnamon installed it ?! [21:11] guntbert, lol nice [21:11] Does anyone know any program that does cross browser check on an html file for 12.04? [21:11] Night-hacks: gnome-classic comes with the gnome3 base [21:11] marsfligth, what country you irc'ing from? (so i can see in the mirrors list what to use) [21:12] violinappren: then, just using a close mirror Ubuntu update service changes behavior? This is a news for me. [21:12] Night-hacks: erm, it comes when you install the gnome-shell. [21:12] Night-hacks: its the 2d fallback from the gnome-shell [21:12] milan, italy [21:13] !it | marsfligth [21:13] marsfligth: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:13] k1l: not even a very rough guess? will a night be enough? or are we talking days? [21:13] 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 [21:15] hi all [21:15] marsfligth, looks like you can use http://.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) [21:16] 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] 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] nethus: As it says, after reboot. [21:16] marsfligth, my typo, it's said to be http://.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [21:17] marsfligth, ppa is directly part of ubuntu.. it get's installed manually-- instructions are from the ppa site === Guest27407 is now known as tziemann__ [21:17] dam [21:18] * jagginess scratches his head [21:18] marsfligth, meant " is not " part of ubuntu directly [21:18] W4sp: do you mean that the server will first reboot completely, and then starts checking while apache, mysql,... are started? [21:18] marsfligth: the software center provided update facility SHOULD update everything if set to automatic updates [21:18] nethus: No. Prior mounting volumes the fsck will take place. [21:18] marsfligth: which repository gets left behind and not update? [21:19] marsfligth, /etc/apt [21:19] software center is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww [21:19] W4sp: ok, thank. but are we talking hours or days for a volume of 450 GB? [21:20] jagginess: what does it mean jagginess [21:20] it means it's slow at anything. so I use apt-get. [21:20] ok [21:20] W4sp: and can i speed up the process by emptying disk space before? [21:21] nethus, it'll run for at least 2 hours.. [21:21] nethus, if it needs to be rebuilt === Roasted is now known as roasted [21:22] hey, somehow my system is very slow, load avg is 2.xx but there is no process blocking a lot of cpu.. how could I find out what causes this? [21:22] ok, I already made a script t cron, and after many tests on different machines all have been success. The only doubt that I still have, is when Ubuntu asks for 'partial upgrade', in that case, I'll be more relaxed if was directly Ubuntu to manage all [21:22] **a script to cron [21:22] hi all [21:22] notwo: AFAIK there is no such thing. There are online tools that provide you with it though. At least you have to deal with gecko and webkit. I always do it manually. If you find something more satisfying please let me know. === cesar is now known as Guest69144 [21:23] marsfligth, be careful of ppa's, they can be risky and can cause more breaking than nec. [21:24] nethus: If you refer to the time fsck requires to check your two HDD I can't tell exactly. I suppose you are concerend about downtimes or interrup in services...? [21:24] livecoding.io [21:25] ^put it in your browser...awesome! [21:25] notwo, you mean to check out an html page with different browsers? only do that online, there are "user-agent" plugins for firefox [21:25] jagginess: ok, I know that is risky, but I can't leave the machines w/o app's updates, do you agree wit me? [21:26] nethus: What's the fs type anyway? [21:27] 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] 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" [21:28] hmm [21:29] 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] 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 [21:30] i search some tool to create programms... but no ordinary ide or something... [21:30] markus__: vim ? [21:30] so generelly somthing like kexi with a compiler :) [21:30] 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... [21:31] markus__, gambas [21:31] 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] markus__, better than VisualC [21:31] markus__, better than VisualBasic i mean [21:31] i know gambas [21:31] markus__, then dance [21:31] 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 [21:32] but it is much work to create diagramms and nice looking graphical prints [21:32] ï·’ [21:32] and print-preview [21:32] markus__, oh you're passing them. I thought you were administrating a network. [21:33] markus__, so use http://it. , a closer mirror .. you don't want slow updates for your customer [21:33] jagginess, ??? [21:33] i want to build some apps... [21:33] are you quite expert on 'dpkg' and 'apt'? If yes, I paste my script to see how to improve it [21:33] sory [21:33] marsfligth. [21:34] "so use http://it. , a closer mirror .. you don't want slow updates for your customer" < marsfligth [21:34] (i'm hoping i got it right) [21:34] 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] and that a should be able to compile... [21:34] markus__, openoffice can do forms [21:35] jagginess: no, all pc's are in different places and each one haw own wan ip [21:35] e.g. pagemaker is able to create a DB with reports and forms and then i can export that in a standalone app [21:36] nethus: Are you there, reading? [21:36] W4sp: i guess that's the script to check the software raid that runs on a regular basis [21:36] 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] so what i mean is something like openoffice-base or kexi with a compiler === bz is now known as donnastits === donnastits is now known as bz [21:37] markus__, join a oofice list, i'm sure there's all kinds of api's.. [21:37] jagginess, ooffice is nice... but not what i need [21:37] 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] i want to build later from that a programm... [21:37] markus__, you never used it to it's fully potential my friend.. [21:38] markus__, you can use "online" network databases with it. [21:38] markus__, and oofice is universal, it's on unix/mac/win/linux.. [21:38] jagginess, that is all nice... but not what i search... [21:38] markus__, essentially the .odb file is like an application. [21:38] 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? [21:39] markus__, what i meant by "list" was a "mailinglist" for openoffice.. there must be millions of APi'S. [21:39] yes but someone can take a look for the logic behind - that i dont want first [21:39] 2nd someone could change something and destroy the system [21:40] 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] markus__, it's for an end-customer, why bother? they're not paying anymore support if you set this up for them.. [21:40] for that i want to compile the projects finally to a closed source app [21:40] damit [21:40] nethus: All figures - as said - a guest. What was your estimate? [21:41] nethus: s/guest/guess [21:41] * jagginess mixes mark* and mars* once again :( [21:41] lol [21:41] W4sp: i really have no clue. i guessed/hoped it could be done between 1 and 7 am, so less then 6 hours [21:41] jagginess, i want to create financial tools... billing, cost-calculateion, controlling, ... [21:42] markus__, uh huh.. [21:42] is it possible to change the order of preferred networks in 12.04? [21:42] markus__, so use a database. [21:42] if you know how to set one up. [21:42] it looks like they're just sorted by most recently used in the network manager [21:42] W4sp: but after googling i saw times up to 70 hours for 1,5T, so i'm kinda afraid [21:42] jagginess, what i have now is 95% build with excel and / or access [21:42] hey all.. how can i downgrade a package? i used xedgers and now want to go back to xswat [21:42] W4sp: plus, i don't have physical access to the machine [21:43] to build it in oo-base or kexi is no problem... [21:43] but that i need is later a standalone running programm [21:43] markus__, excel eh. [21:43] 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] markus__, you. use. openoffice on windows. ok? I DONT CARE ABOUT M$ EXCEL. [21:43] nethus: I see, can you ssh in? [21:44] Hi..is zeitgeist really required? What will be affected if I uninstall it? [21:44] no i switched not to linux [21:44] but all my old excel sheets works verry well in OO.org [21:44] and now i want to port the access stuff [21:44] kexi is good [21:45] oo-base too [21:45] script kiddie [21:45] Hi..is zeitgeist really required? What will be affected if I uninstall it? [21:45] W4sp: i have full ssh access. there are of course daily offsite backups, but i can't quickly get a whole server up and running [21:45] Hello [21:45] hey guys, anyone using logrotate with zip instead of gzip? [21:45] zoopp: the question should be: why would you uninstall it? [21:46] k1l: to speed up the system..I imagine that all that data collecting is slowing it down. [21:46] nethus: Maybe you can dd /home onto a different drive prior boot? [21:46] k1l: I kinda have a performance issue right now. [21:48] zoopp: when its done it should be not slowing down anymore. it is used for the dash suggestions [21:48] W4sp: and in case of a real disaster i should be able to use the web interface of OVH to push a clean and empty ubuntu installation on the machine and rebuild from scratch. [21:50] Ò [21:51] 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. :-) [21:52] I need to run chntpw from live ubuntu 12.04 however it's no longer in main line repos. How can I figure out what repo I need to add in order to install chntpw? [21:52] W4sp: OVH = the owner of the datacenter the server is standing [21:52] noone any idea for my problem??? [21:52] nethus: OK, the French rackspacer. [21:54] i search something to create from the forms and reports of a database a programm [21:54] I'm having trouble theming buttons in my GTK 3 theme - help?? [21:54] so short something like kexi or openoffice-base BUT WITH A COMPILER! [21:54] nethus: I somewhat had the impression the server is within your office. Sorry. But my findings still stand even if it's rented rackspace [21:55] hello [21:56] this client is weird === `Amygirl` is now known as `Kryten` [21:57] ciao [21:57] !list [21:57] rb46: 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 ». [21:57] Is it better to store my data on a cloud , then on a harddrive that may get damage in a fire ? [21:58] Jarrydx26: that would be a topic for the offtopic channel [21:59] Hey everyone! How do I get rid of the thing in the top left on the screen that brings up the screen changer? I don't know what it's called so I can't google it. I"m in 12.04 with cinnamon, by the way. [22:00] mophead: cinnamon is not supported here. ask the mint guys [22:00] K1| : okay thanks will have a peek [22:00] k11 do they have a channel? [22:01] W4sp: thanks for all your help. I think I'll take a look into a disaster recovery plan and hardware first, and then go for it. [22:01] My touchpad is far to sensitive, the mouse moves too fast, even though sensitivity and acceleration are turned all the way down. [22:01] W4sp: slightly related: i guess i still can install upgrades while i'm not restarting? === blacck is now known as Nausiicaa [22:03] hi [22:03] a question [22:03] is really nescesary firewall ?? [22:04] an answer [22:04] yes... [22:04] there is approximately 6+ billing people living on this planet. How many of them do you trust? [22:05] dakar: do you have a real issue? [22:05] Sounds like he needs to reconfigure it to allow something to pass through. [22:06] Dakar probably shocked @ ubuntu dont need much firewall protection as windows lol [22:06] 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 [22:07] Again, dakar, what are your specific question(s) about the firewall? === Chaser_ is now known as Chaser [22:07] oh no #ubuntu has turned into a firewall cannel ? [22:07] channel [22:08] There was a partial question about the firewall from dakar. We haven't gotten any more information from him. [22:09] s/gotten/received [22:10] dakar: no [22:11] 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] schultza: Most everyone has a router between them and the Internet and so they dont' need a firewall on the PC. [22:12] yeah if its turned on lol [22:12] schultza: A firewall should be between your PC and the internet, (a separate device). Hince the term "firewall router". [22:12] Lol there goes dakar eaten by the firewall [22:12] i have a firewall in my router and ip tables enabled on my pc [22:13] quest has theres turned of by default on the routers they give out [22:13] W4sp: 12.04 LTS [22:13] 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] MonkeyDust: I have a linux router, (dd-wrt). [22:13] How long are non-LTS releases supported for? [22:14] Moonlightning: 18 month [22:14] Oh. [22:14] nethus: Then it's only an update, you can install them. See if any SQL engine requires update as well. See doc prior update. [22:14] So if I just get the newest versions when they're released, everything will always still be supported?

[22:46] Moonlightning: minimal is the base of everything [22:46] Moonlightning: sure... if you know which onew ;) [22:46] * W4sp [22:46] bkc_: I don't, though. That's why I'm asking. [22:46] 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] usr13: yes, and it also shows it is connected, but when i open my browser, i am unable to connect to the web [22:47] dynesh: Open a terminal and type: ping -c3 av.com #Tell us if it pings. [22:47] dynesh: what is the output of "ifconfig" "ping -c 4 8.8.8.8" and "ping -c 4 google.com" [22:47] !paste | dynesh [22:47] dynesh: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

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

[22:59] how to restart connection on interface after changing interfaces? [22:59] dynesh: You could try that first, it may pick up the nameserver IP and edit the file for you. [22:59] drag0nius: ifconfig up [23:01] drag0nius: You could just restart the network. sudo service networking restart [23:01] usr13 [23:01] usr13 [23:01] dynesh: Yes?

[23:05] usr13: nameserver 127.0.0.1 [23:05] dynesh: Edit /etc/resolv.conf gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and change 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 [23:05] usr13: 12.04 is using a different method for dns [23:05] dynesh: So that you only have one nameserver line and it says nameserver 192.168.1.1 [23:05] usr13: 127.0.0.1 is correct [23:05] iceroot: Really? [23:06] could it be a firewall issue? [23:06] usr13: yes, dnsmask or something like that [23:06] usr13: Probably the DHCP server isn't feeling well. See if resolv.conf.tail can do for you. [23:06] usr13: i have two lines, one says 192.168.1.1 and the other one says 127.0.0.1 [23:06] dynesh the first is your router, the second is your pc [23:07] dynesh: you are using 12.04? [23:07] 127.0.0.1 islocalhost [23:07] 127.0.0.1 is localhost* [23:07] usr13: yes.. [23:07] dynesh: remove the one that says 127.0.0.1 (So that you only have one nameserver line that says nameserver 192.168.1.1 ) (sorry, I told you wrong the first time) [23:08] W4sp: resolv.conf.tail ?

[23:12] that is why it begins "do not edit this by hand" [23:12] usr13: resolc.conf will contain 127.0.0.1 were dnsmasq is running and doing its job [23:12] dynesh: ls /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [23:13] The web-spellcorrector correct english but not my language - Swedish. What to do? [23:13] i wanna install Linux Kubuntu on my pc, what would i do to keep my files from windows 7? [23:13] dynesh: Does that file exist? [23:13] usr13: with 12.04 we now have a dns-cache-server on the local machine [23:13] usr13 :no such file in directory [23:13] iceroot: Then why does dynesh not have that file? [23:14] jdcm: Have you considering using Wubi? That's the easiest way, though it does have some limitations [23:14] usr13: linux mint, not 12.04 or something like that i guess [23:14] jdcm install Kubuntu next to win7 [23:14] usr13: as usual :) [23:14] dynesh: lsb_release -a #Tell us what that says.
