| usr13 | W4sp: ping -b 192.168.1.0 | 00:00 |
| trism | liox_: and if you are, it just displays the changelog in less, so you can press 'q' to continue with the upgrade | 00:00 |
| dynesh | W4sp: it says, WARNING: pinging broadcast address | 00:00 |
| liox_ | trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163562/ | 00:00 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Sure is.... | 00:00 |
| mamece2 | Ive set a hotspot in my laptop, to share wireless internet, two different wireless controllers. I have connected my Iphone to the new hotspot but i cant get IP address. plz help | 00:00 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Try 192.168.1.0 | 00:00 |
| trism | liox_: yes, press q there, does it continue with the install/upgrade? | 00:01 |
| W4sp | usr13: Not every router returns the connected hosts though. | 00:01 |
| W4sp | brb | 00:01 |
| usr13 | W4sp: I don't know why it would give a warning "pinging boradcast address" That is ridicilous, the -b option is for "broadcast" | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: you installed a dhcp server on the laptop? | 00:01 |
| mamece2 | no | 00:02 |
| dynesh | usr13: same message again | 00:02 |
| usr13 | W4sp: But the router was listed as his default gateway and he could ping the router's IP 192.168.1.1 So he is connected to the network. | 00:02 |
| usr13 | dynesh But did it ping? | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: so exactly what did 'set a hotspot in my laptop' involve? | 00:02 |
| mamece2 | Dr_Willis: no, i havent, isnt supose to work with the option "share to other computer" | 00:03 |
| W4sp | usr13: OK, we're connected. | 00:03 |
| dynesh | usr13 and W4sp: after that it displays PING 192.168.1.0(192.168.1.0) 56(84) bytes of data | 00:03 |
| usr13 | dynesh: Ok, then it is pinging. So there you go. | 00:03 |
| mamece2 | Dr_Willis: I've created a new wireless connection in Ad-Hoc mode. | 00:03 |
| dynesh | usr13: is it done? | 00:03 |
| === nick is now known as Guest90392 | ||
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: i think ad-hoc is not quite the same as a hotspot. | 00:04 |
| usr13 | dynesh: host av.com #What does that say? | 00:04 |
| W4sp | dynesh: You can press Ctrl+c at the same time. IT will end the ping process. | 00:04 |
| dynesh | usr13: connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 00:05 |
| usr13 | W4sp: So the question remains, where is the nameserver IP? (12.04) | 00:05 |
| mamece2 | Dr_Willis: i looked for it in google and i found that i need to create a hotspot, i followed the instructions and it says i need to set an Ad-Hoc connection. | 00:05 |
| dynesh | W4sp: thanks for the tip | 00:05 |
| usr13 | ANYONE: Where is the nameserver IP kept for Ubuntu 12.04? | 00:05 |
| bzzzz | test | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: you could set a static ip on the phone i guess if its connecting.. | 00:05 |
| mamece2 | Dr_Willis: i just want to have internet in my iphone from the laptop, because i dont have enough signal strenght | 00:06 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Ad-Hoc wireless is a point-to-point connection. Access Points (AP) are managed mode, and you'd need hostapd installing and configuring to operate an AP | 00:06 |
| usr13 | dynesh: What nameserver IP do you have in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) ;) It used tobe in here.. | 00:06 |
| trism | usr13: /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf if using the default dnsmasq, network-manager setup | 00:06 |
| gry | usr13: 10.1.1.1 and 127.0.0.1 | 00:07 |
| usr13 | dynesh: cat /etc/resolv.conf #Tell us what address follows the line starting with nameserver | 00:07 |
| trism | usr13: not that you should edit that, and instead set it in network-manager or /etc/network/interfaces | 00:07 |

| dynesh | usr13: which means i can ping ryt? | 00:19 |

| usr13 | dynesh: run cmd ; ipconfig /all | 00:21 |

| dynesh | W4sp: network is unreacheable | 00:27 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: correct | 00:27 |
| TJ- | mamece2: As an aside... if the internal wifi signal is that bad... it's likely that the antenna connectors inside the laptop have become disconnected. You might consider opening it up and checking on that! | 00:27 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Very good. Thanks a lot. We don't need the mobile phone then. | 00:28 |

| W4sp | dynesh: Grand. | 00:30 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i have them, i am sure because i have use them to connect before, right? | 00:30 |
| dynesh | W4sp: ??? | 00:31 |
| TJ- | mamece2: No! sometimes the driver firmware that has to be uploaded into the processor of the wifi chipset is different ... you need MASTER mode firmware, rather than just STATION mode... sometimes its combined; often not | 00:31 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Sorry, great. Grand is just a saying. | 00:31 |
| dynesh | W4sp: :) | 00:32 |

| === n is now known as Guest76149 | ||
| TJ- | roothorick: Yes, it's called regulatory domains | 01:01 |
| roothorick | TJ-: what would it be for USA then? | 01:01 |
| TJ- | roothorick: Some countries use the frequencies of the upper channels for other purposes. US is 11, UK/Europe 13, Japan 14 so far as I recall | 01:02 |
| roothorick | TJ-: interesting. I always just assumed Wi-Fi was smack dab in an FCC "consumer device" band | 01:02 |
| bigmeow | lol | 01:02 |
| roothorick | *in the middle of an | 01:02 |
| TJ- | roothorick: That's for 802.11b/g 2.4GHz... it's even more complicated at 5GHx 802.11a | 01:02 |
| designbybeck | Anyone going to LinuxCon Spain, Nov 5-7th?? | 01:02 |
| bigmeow | meow:) | 01:03 |
| roothorick | TJ-: so using channels 12/13/14 is technically illegal in my area? | 01:03 |
| TJ- | roothorick: It's all of the allowed non-licensed 2.4GHz band... it uses spread-spectrum frequency hopping techniques to avoid collisions as much as possible | 01:03 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: cant find how to set master mode with the broadcom,just how to make it work, it already works! | 01:04 |
| TJ- | roothorick: Possibly - you might interfere with licensed frequencies used by medical and military | 01:04 |
| roothorick | ...medical!? | 01:04 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Try installing and configuring hostapd then, see if it "just works" ! | 01:04 |
| mamece2 | ok let me try, will his interrupt the wifi connection? | 01:05 |
| roothorick | I would think they'd put lifesupport stuff way way far away from CD bands | 01:05 |
| roothorick | the more you know I guess | 01:05 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Only if you reconfigure the interface you're currently using to access the Internet | 01:05 |
| TJ- | roothorick: The other uses came first! | 01:05 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Now I need to know the interfaces you have. PLease can you run 'ifconfig'. It will show on the left some 4 character labels and many details on the right hand side, each in a block. Soemwhere in a block is your 192.168.1.1 number. I need to know what 4 character label is printed to its left. | 01:06 |
| roothorick | TJ-: hasn't the 2.4Ghz allocation been around a lot longer than wifi? | 01:06 |
| TJ- | roothorick: When the world agreed on common bands some prior users had to be left in place since their equipment couldn't easily be changed | 01:06 |

| linuxieus | :D Thanks in advance - for any help. | 01:14 |
| mamece2 | so if i configure those file i wont get any error with the commands? | 01:14 |

| jagginess | W4sp, grow up. | 01:19 |
| jagginess | W4sp, it's called the netmask. | 01:19 |
| jagginess | an ipaddress is useless unless you have the proper netmask with it. | 01:19 |
| W4sp | jagginess: If you have to contribute any substantial do so. Stop messing around. | 01:19 |
| jagginess | W4sp, i'm not. | 01:19 |
| * jagginess does the doubleclick | 01:19 | |
| mamece2 | TJ-: wheres can i see the complete name of the driver? | 01:20 |
| jagginess | btw, that's called a broadcast address.. and it's not called a "block". | 01:20 |
| TJ- | mamece2: From what I read you should be OK to use the default "nl80211" as is in my hostapd.conf | 01:21 |
| Roukoswarf | am i going to need to recall my cisco education and blabber it here? xD | 01:21 |
| TJ- | What's the problem you're trying to solve W4sp? It sounds to be getting confusing :s | 01:22 |
| mamece2 | Roukoswarf: isnt cisco education an oxymoron? | 01:22 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: so i just replace the file in that directory and then? | 01:23 |
| ozzloy | http://pastie.org/4577909 how o i install freeglut3-dev now? | 01:24 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Edit the hostapd.conf I've provided where you see the ***.....*** parts | 01:24 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: done | 01:24 |
| TJ- | mamece2: make sure you set a channel number that doesn't interfere with your home router | 01:24 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: ok , done | 01:24 |
| Roukoswarf | mamece2: yay, someone got the joke! | 01:24 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Then you need to add to /etc/network/interfaces the contents of the 'interfaces' file I uploaded for you, too | 01:25 |
| MoTec | The only channels that do not overlap are 1, 6 and 11. Do not user others. | 01:25 |
| Roukoswarf | currently doing cisco, the OS is silly, and the education is really dumbed | 01:25 |
| TJ- | mamece2: You'll need to EDIT that interfaces section for wlan0 to ensure the addresses are the same as in your network, but on a different subnet to the other eth0 interface | 01:25 |
| TJ- | MoTec: Depends. If he's in Asia or Europe there's 13 or 14 channels | 01:26 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: so eth1 must be in a different subnet than wlan1 ? | 01:26 |
| TJ- | MoTec: I run mine on ch 13 | 01:26 |
| MoTec | TJ-: Good call | 01:27 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Yes... I have my main wired LAN on 10.254.251.0/24 so I put the Wireless on 10.254.250.0/24 | 01:27 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Then there's one thing left to do. You'll need to configure a lightweight DHCP server (dnsmasq) that will listen on the AP interface and issue IP addresses to clients | 01:28 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: that kinda complex | 01:28 |
| TJ- | mamece2: How so? you want your clients to be able to talk to other don't you? without DHCP they won't be! | 01:29 |
| Roukoswarf | TJ-: static ips work faster anyway :D | 01:29 |
| TJ- | Roukoswarf: huh? mkaes no difference! | 01:30 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i could have a fixed Ip on my phone and i wont care | 01:30 |
| TJ- | mamece2: If you tell me your sub-net for wired and what you want to use for Wifi, I'll write you the /etc/dnsmasq.conf | 01:30 |
| TJ- | mamece2: OK... but it really would be better to just set it up to work automatically! | 01:31 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i dont us wired, just wireless for the access to the intenet AP and i wannt the mobile phone to get internet thoughr the laptop | 01:31 |
| W4sp | dynesh: I have in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163676/ the block that you need to type in. You need to run 'gedit /etc/network/interfaces &' from a terminal. | 01:32 |
| TJ- | mamece2: sorry... I didn't mean wired I meant the internet eth0 interface :D | 01:32 |
| TJ- | W4sp: does he have root privs already? if not that'll be a read-only file edit | 01:33 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i added this to the interface file: iface eth0 inet static | 01:33 |
| mamece2 | address 192.168.10.1 | 01:33 |
| mamece2 | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 01:33 |

| TJ- | mamece2: no I don't | 02:09 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Let's wait until it finishes. It creates a fwew lines and tells us the hops. | 02:09 |
| TJ- | mamece2: it's now "firmware-b43-installer" | 02:09 |
| dynesh | W4sp: its over and it has 3 lines | 02:09 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: im following thar url instructions | 02:10 |
| khole | Gnea: hdd light seems normal. A few blinks. Erratum: although I'm not seeing anything past BIOS for the current Lubuntu install, the Ubuntu install did show a brief flash of pruple | 02:10 |
| TJ- | mamece2: At the start of the "Installing b43 drivers" section it says "Note: On Ubuntu 11.04 installing the 'firmware-b43-installer' package takes care of the downloading and installation of the b43 driver. " | 02:11 |
| TJ- | mamece2: If you're on 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 then that's the package to use | 02:11 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: ok, now i need to restart :/ i hate when that happens | 02:11 |
| W4sp | dynesh: That's too few lines to be successful. Can you tell me what it says? | 02:11 |
| casvah | I just installed rvm, and I think it somehow overwrote my .bashrc...is this common, and is there a way to get it back to default ubuntu bashrc? | 02:11 |
| TJ- | mamece2: you might not need to, you can manually load the driver after unloading the "wl" driver | 02:12 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: ive installed b43 and i still see wl, how to unload that? | 02:12 |
| W4sp | dynesh: I don't need to knwo the ms byt the IP addresses or host names would be great. | 02:13 |
| TJ- | mamece2: at a command line, first ensure that "wl" isn't in use by anything. Do "lsmod | grep wl" and check that the number after "wl" is zero | 02:13 |
| dynesh | W4sp : Roy-pc.local , 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.1 and last line jus reads Resume: pmtu 1500 | 02:13 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: it is : "lsmod | grep wl | 02:14 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: wl 2568210 0 | 02:14 |
| TJ- | mamece2: That's good. Now we can unload it: "sudo rmmod wl" | 02:14 |
| TJ- | mamece2: check it's gone by doing "lsmod | grep wl" once more | 02:15 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: gone | 02:15 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Now we load the b43: "sudo modprobe b43" | 02:15 |
| TJ- | mamece2: then check its in memory with "lsmod | grep b43" | 02:15 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge | 02:16 |
| TJ- | mamece2: sounds good | 02:16 |
| TJ- | mamece2: check the interfaces with "iwconfig" | 02:16 |
| mamece2 | now there wlan1 and wlan0 | 02:17 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Unable to get over the gateway. That's odd. | 02:17 |
| === badair is now known as honestbob | ||
| TJ- | mamece2: It's probably no longer eth1 and you'll need to change "interfaces" and "hostapd.conf" to reflect the new interface name | 02:17 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: the same error when i try sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master | 02:17 |
| TJ- | mamece2: iwconfig shows the new interface as wlan0 then ? | 02:18 |
| TJ- | mamece2: pastebin me "iwconfig" again please | 02:18 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: http://pastebin.com/DpQM6akf | 02:18 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: the command mode master shouldnt get a error message back | 02:19 |
| W4sp | dynesh: Could you 'ping -c 1 google.com'. Does it tell you "ping: unknown host"? | 02:20 |
| TJ- | mamece2: after you've fixed up the config files do "sudo ifdown wlan0" then "sudo service hostapd restart" and check the hostapd log file again | 02:20 |
| Gnea | khole: okay, well if you're booting off of the hdd, you'd see the hdd led blink. if it's off of the cd/dvd/flashdrive, then not so much. Can you get to a grub> prompt just past BIOS POST with ESC? | 02:21 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: both config files should be with wlan0 interface? | 02:21 |
| TJ- | mamece2: yes | 02:22 |

| TJ- | jgornick: If you're on a 64-bit installation, yes | 02:45 |
| jgornick | Interesting, it looks like if you install openjdk-7-jre, it's 32bit | 02:45 |

| SushiDude | hmm | 03:09 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i read it too jeje | 03:09 |

| mindbender1 | Is there an tool to use for generating .pc files for existing packages on ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| |Anthony| | very long story short, i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and the 3.5 kernel is installed... needless to say, it isn't working. is there a way to restore the system? | 03:27 |
| alien64 | sorry wrong person lol looking | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | alien64: it should look like this... look at "description" http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163774/ | 03:27 |
| mindbender1 | I noticed that .pc files are missing for some installed pkgs on ubuntu | 03:27 |
| zykotick9 | |Anthony|: at grub, choose the old kernel... | 03:27 |
| TJ- | mamece2: pastebin the output of this: "iw list | grep -A 10 'Supported interface modes' " | 03:27 |
| xangua | |Anthony|: just select the kernel that comes in lucid in the Grub menu (Shift key when you turn the pc to show it) | 03:28 |
| |Anthony| | lol zykotick9... if it were that simple i wouldn't be here... | 03:28 |
| |Anthony| | hehe | 03:28 |
| zykotick9 | |Anthony|: did you remove the origional kernel? | 03:28 |
| alien64 | zykotick9: yes sir it does i am up to date thanks for the info | 03:29 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i dont have iw installed, i will do it | 03:29 |
| zykotick9 | alien64: glad to help... | 03:29 |

| TJ- | mamece2: ahh! | 03:30 |
| |Anthony| | so i don't have to type the whole situation again | 03:30 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: im not a genius like u | 03:30 |

| TJ- | mamece2: Another YATY - AP mode is on that list | 03:31 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: what do u mean? | 03:32 |
| TJ- | mamece2: although, we need to be sure that response was for wlan0 since you have two wifis. | 03:34 |
| |Anthony| | i actually didn't see that there was a response to that post i linked... hmm... | 03:34 |
| TJ- | mamece2: try restarting hostapd now... It should have been installed in support of hostapd but seemingly wasnt | 03:34 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i did, it failes | 03:35 |
| TJ- | mamece2: OK | 03:35 |
| TJ- | So we know everything else is correct, so there's something in the config that is killing it. So lets try starting it manually and see if it tells us why it fails | 03:35 |
| TJ- | mamece2: do this: "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" | 03:36 |
| TJ- | mamece2: maybe pastebin the output if there is anything useful | 03:36 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf | 03:37 |
| mamece2 | Could not set channel for kernel driver | 03:37 |

| TJ- | mamece2: try changing it in the config to 6 and try again | 03:37 |
| usr13 | |Anthony|: Boot ubuntu's recovery mode and install a new kernel. | 03:38 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i change it to channel 6 in the .conf file and still the same error message | 03:38 |

| |Anthony| | there is a response, which i am about to attempt | 03:41 |
| TJ- | mamece2: let's enable lots of debug info. do this: "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" | 03:42 |
| TJ- | mamece2: I'll need it in pastebin... you might want to install "pastebinit" and then run "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf | pastebinit" | 03:43 |

| LoneElf | How do i go about updating from 10.04 to 11.10? | 03:45 |
| TJ- | mamece2: I *think* this may be to do with the channel width; 20MHz vs 40MHz ... I need to dig some more, give me a few minutes | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | LoneElf: 11.10 will hit end of life soon. why not upgrade to 12.04?? | 03:45 |
| LoneElf | It's not supported by parallels. | 03:46 |
| Nach0z | s/end of life/EOF | 03:46 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: channelwight isnt a standar? | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | LoneElf: download 11.10 iso and clean install. | 03:47 |
| LoneElf | cfhowlett: hrmm, okely ;) | 03:47 |
| LoneElf | I just assumed it was possible to upgrade. | 03:47 |
| cfhowlett | LoneElf: "upgrade" option will default to 11.10 | 03:47 |

| TJ- | mamece2: 40MHz channels are 802.11n ... doubles the available bandwidth but uses twice as many frequency bands | 03:48 |
| LoneElf | actually, upgrade seems to want to upgrade to 12.04? | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | LoneElf: right. I "mistyped" :) | 03:48 |
| LoneElf | oh, gotcha. | 03:48 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Got it! In hostapd.conf change "ieee80211n=" from 1 to 0 ... save, and try it again | 03:49 |
| mrFrog | i'm using ubuntu server edition, never had problems in the past with "apt", but for some reason, with 12.04, i always get "hash sum mismatch" errors where random lines "failed to fetch"… in the end, the final error is "some index files failed to download. they have been ignored, or old ones used instead". any ideas for me? this happens with every fresh install i've tried | 03:50 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: to 80200n ? | 03:52 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i got it | 03:52 |
| === badair is now known as honestbob | ||
| TJ- | mamece2: change "ieee80211n=0" | 03:52 |
| TJ- | mamece2: We need to *disable* 40MHz channels | 03:52 |
| KM0201 | mrFrog: are you sure there's no problem in your sources list? | 03:53 |
| mrFrog | KM0201: it's a fresh install, so there shouldn't be right? | 03:53 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: i did it with the -dd option and i unleashed hell | 03:53 |
| KM0201 | mrFrog: hmm, one would think... that is strange | 03:53 |
| TJ- | mamece2: That means it works! | 03:53 |
| TJ- | mamece2: press Ctrl+C to kill that process | 03:54 |
| TJ- | than just start it as a service | 03:54 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: it kinda stuck, i dont like it | 03:54 |
| TJ- | mamece2: stuck? | 03:54 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: it hasnt done its thing | 03:55 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Ctrl+C should terminate the process. If not, do Ctrl+D to suspend it | 03:55 |

| TJ- | mamece2: that NOHZ report is a known kernel bug, I'm checking on it | 03:58 |

| mamece2 | TJ-: now it doenst even get to the NOHZ report | 04:01 |
| TJ- | mamece2: Is that after starting the service with "sudo service hostapd start" ? And do you mean the PC freezes, or the hostapd log file? | 04:02 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: the terminal just get there and theres no more entries at the log | 04:02 |
| TJ- | mamece2: that's the normal thing... normal service isn't generating all that debug info (there's no "-dd" on the command line any more) | 04:03 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: ok, but does it take that long to start? | 04:03 |
| TJ- | mamece2: usually a couple of seconds or so | 04:04 |

| TJ- | mamece2: You might need to enable IP forwarding so your WiFi clients can have their packets routed and NAT-ed (network address translation) | 04:06 |

| brianp1992 | i got thro all that and i have it setup but i can figure it out | 04:16 |
| brianp1992 | ill give that a try | 04:17 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: ctrl+C right | 04:17 |
| TJ- | mamece2: no! | 04:17 |
| TJ- | mamece2: You should now be running it using "sudo service hostapd start" | 04:17 |
| mamece2 | TJ-: or sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd stop | 04:17 |
| TJ- | mamece2: that puts it into the background and it runs as a service, no need for the terminal at all now | 04:17 |
| afflicto | ok seems like screen sharing isn't working very well. How can I stop the skype process from terminal? | 04:18 |
| TJ- | mamece2: you can do that, but using "service" is better in many ways | 04:18 |
| afflicto | Seems like I need to find the process ID of skype. How can I do that? :P | 04:18 |
| bkc_ | afflicto: sudo killall skype | 04:18 |
| bkc_ | or sudo killall -s 9 skype | 04:18 |
| bkc_ | ps -A | grep skype | 04:18 |
| bkc_ | to get the PID... | 04:19 |

| flatlined_at_daw | it occurs after 10.10 in every version | 04:40 |
| ryty | normally in windows it works fine (sure that gets said a lot) | 04:40 |
| ryty | I think it's because the dongle never gets changed to HCI mode | 04:40 |
| ryty | anyone willing to take a stab at it? | 04:40 |
| * b3rz3rk3r_ stabs ryty's dongle | 04:41 | |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | done | 04:41 |
| ryty | har | 04:41 |
| flatlined_at_daw | where do i find the location of the drivers activated for the wireless nic and configs | 04:42 |
| flatlined_at_daw | and anything else that i would need to bring over | 04:42 |

| b3rz3rk3r_ | brianp1992__, this is what you need to do http://www.debuntu.org/guest-file-sharing-with-samba | 04:45 |
| brianp1992__ | ight hold on ill check it out | 04:45 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | it doesnt matter if you have a gui or not (iv lost track now). it works the same | 04:45 |
| === NotKruz is now known as VunKruz | ||
| KM0201 | yup, samba is samba | 04:46 |
| brianp1992__ | wow, thanks a billion, this seems like what im looking for | 04:46 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | brianp1992__, np mate, iv had my fair share of samba nightmares in the past too | 04:46 |
| KM0201 | b3rz3rk3r_: really once you get the hang of samba, it's super easy | 04:47 |
| brianp1992__ | i really can thank you enough, ive been at this for days | 04:47 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | KM0201, for sure dude, maybe im just a slow learner eh? :p | 04:47 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | brianp1992__, easy when you know how | 04:47 |
| brianp1992__ | i thing before i tdo this im going to autoremove all samba and swat and the superserver crap | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | brianp1992__: you shouldn't really need to do that. | 04:48 |
| TJ- | brianp1992__: To enable editing privileges for SWAT, your user account must be in the group "adm" AND you have to give that group write privs to the config files: "sudo chgrp adm /etc/samba/smb.conf" and "sudo chmod g+w /etc/samba/smb.conf" ... then Ctrl+F5 on the web-page for SWAT and you will have all the config buttons available | 04:48 |
| Portaljacker | hi, i need some help with apache and ftp | 04:48 |
| * KM0201 has never used swat... so i have no idea about that. | 04:48 | |
| brianp1992__ | KM0201, trust me i have all the conf files all gummed up | 04:48 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | brianp1992__, make a backup of your samba.conf BEFORE you start messing with it.. trust me ;) | 04:48 |
| TJ- | brianp1992__: I just installed SWAT here, and that's what was needed to make it work | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | what is swat anyway? | 04:49 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | samba web admin tool | 04:49 |
| TJ- | KM0201: Samba Web Administration Tool | 04:49 |
| brianp1992__ | swat actually made it more confuseing that editing the conf file | 04:49 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | KM0201, it gives you a gui for server configs | 04:49 |
| TJ- | KM0201: it's built from the samba source | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | ooh well that makes no sense.. .samba is to easy to set up to mess with that | 04:49 |
| Adran | bkc_: isc-dhcp-server cheers | 04:49 |
| Portaljacker | i installed lamp using task-sel when root was my only user, now i have a user in the admin group and when i use ftp and navigate to /var/www i can't add files or change the permissions | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | i learned how to manually set up samba, when FreeNas screwed me, and i switched my server OS to ubuntu server.. had to learn to do all that stuff via command line | 04:50 |
| brianp1992__ | yeah im going to start all over and follow this guide step by step all the way thro | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | brianp1992__: you need help, i'll be here a while.. i've gotten pretty good at samba | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | (well, at least configuring it) | 04:51 |
| brianp1992__ | alrighty, ill be back and let you know if it works | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | if you just need a default samba configuration file... i have an unchanged one if you want me to pastebin it.. just remove swat and you can start over | 04:52 |

| KM0201 | Portaljacker: whats the prob? (sorry if i missed it) | 04:54 |
| Portaljacker | [00:50] <Portaljacker> i installed lamp using task-sel when root was my only user, now i have a user in the admin group and when i use ftp and navigate to /var/www i can't add files or change the permissions | 04:54 |
| KM0201 | ah, sorry, i dn't do lamp.. have you asked in #ubuntu-server ? | 04:54 |
| Portaljacker | have not been in there | 04:55 |
| Portaljacker | will try | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | well, those are the server experts.. i'd try there | 04:55 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: If you're using apache2, won't the user need to be in the "www-data" group, and the directory have write permissions for that group? | 04:55 |
| Portaljacker | i've seen a lot of things saying having www-data own that folder is bad | 04:56 |
| Portaljacker | mine is owned by root | 04:56 |
| Portaljacker | never made it that way | 04:56 |
| Portaljacker | just was like that | 04:56 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: www-data is good. Are you using apache2? | 04:56 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: the apache2 server drops privs and switches to run as the www-data user. So only directories with www-data can be accessed by it | 04:57 |
| brianp1992__ | im testing it now | 04:58 |
| Portaljacker | T3- ? | 04:59 |
| Portaljacker | what do you mean? | 04:59 |
| brianp1992__ | im gunna reboot and see it it works | 04:59 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: I thought it was pretty clear :) | 04:59 |
| Portaljacker | so even though root owns www | 05:00 |
| Portaljacker | www-data becomes the owner when it has to do stuff? | 05:00 |
| KM0201 | brianp1992__: you don't really need to reboot, you just need to restart samba | 05:00 |
| KM0201 | but rebooting will work | 05:00 |
| isleshocky77 | This is running at 21% and I've never seen it before. Any idea what it is? http://pastebin.com/pR9bcRYk | 05:01 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: That's how all services run - they switch to a user account with less privileges than root once they've got started. That's security 101 | 05:01 |
| Portaljacker | would that mean adding my user to the www-data group give me write access? | 05:01 |
| isleshocky77 | Between the pid and everything else it makes me a little nervous. | 05:01 |
| ryty | anyone had a chance to take a look at my issue above? | 05:01 |
| TJ- | Portaljacker: It would, if that group has write permissions *and* the service is using *your* account privileges not it's own. An FTP server may well be using the ftpuser account | 05:02 |

| mik_ | wilee-nilee, I seem to be having some stalling issues (3 hour update, grayed-out windows). Is there any way to speed up the response time? Is this because I don't have a swap partition? I downloaded "Dynamic swap space manager" (the only thing that showed up in the software center when searching for 'swapspace' per your suggestion). | 05:23 |

| ForSpareParts | MACscr: I played with Deluge -- not bad, but I really need some way of doing RSS. | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, I doubt its a missing swap, but you never know the app you installed is what I suggested. You could set the swappiness higher with this. gsudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and at the bottom after the # put vm.swappiness = 10 then run this to load it, sudo sysctl -p Now a USB will run slower in general, you have to be careful how much you are running in general could that be an issue? | 05:28 |
| ForSpareParts | MACscr: maybe if there was something that could be managed really well over ssh I could work with that | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, sorry this is the command gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf | 05:28 |
| MACscr | ForSpareParts: rtorrent then | 05:29 |

| wilee-nilee | mik_, A usb jsu does not run as fast as a internal HD, and if you are used to a SSD you wont get anything like it even with a usb flash unless it was a usb3 and then still slower. | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | just* | 05:30 |
| ForSpareParts | MACscr: How much are you paying for Usenet access, though? | 05:31 |

| === user is now known as anotheruser | ||
| wilee-nilee | mik_, you have to add that. I have had greying out on a usb flash as well. You could shrink the partition using gparted on the ISO loaded live cd, and make a swap if you like. | 05:34 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, you add vm.swappiness = 10 to that file ands run the command to load it | 05:35 |
| wilee-nilee | that will force the ram to go higher before using the swap, | 05:35 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, sry, lag | 05:35 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, I believe your waiting for a new SSD so a usb is a option best probably as of now unless you have a regular HD laying around it would run better. | 05:37 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, k, getting slightly confused. There's gparted, which I'd have to run from that 8GB USB with the ISO to change the partitions in the 16GB. Will that reformat/erase what I have so far? | 05:38 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, then the other option is inserting "vm.swappiness = 10" to the sysctl.conf file | 05:39 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, not sure how to run that | 05:39 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, are those my two options? Should I try both? | 05:39 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, also, why does it run super smooth when I'm just trying out ubuntu from a USB but from an install it's slow as molasses? | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, The vm.swappiness = 10 will force a higher ram before swapping whether you have a swap partition or the app, the load command just starts it running. The gparted option if you choose resize, and slide the right end of the partition a little to the left leaving a unallocated for a swap partition will not mess with the install. You may have to add a mount the swap in fstab is all I can help you there as well. These are just options that I | 05:43 |
| wilee-nilee | can think of, you can load the startup applications with a command I can give you to shut down what is not needed as well. | 05:43 |

| mik_ | wilee-nilee, was there supposed to be a '#' in front of the text you told me to enter? seems like that would comment it out | 05:49 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, not sure why there is a difference from the ISO loaded usb and a full install might be the usb themselves. You can do a ISO load and have a persistance filling up the rest of the USB. I would use the 16 gig then, but a ISO loaded usb should not really be updated, and will eventually fill the persistence, which is not empty-able like a standards install. | 05:50 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, no after the # at the bottom of that file. | 05:50 |
| wilee-nilee | below it | 05:50 |
| mib_127ay0 | hi, somebody help me, please :-(, http://imagebin.org/225680 | 05:51 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, thanks. That part's done. Going to gparted. Not sure what it means "to add a mount the swap in fstab" or "shut down what is not needed". Should I be in the ISO drive for those actions? | 05:55 |
| mib_127ay0 | @wilee-nilee: can you help me :-( | 05:56 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, you have to use the ISO drive just for the resize with gparted, the fstab is accessed easiest from the install, a stanza to have the swap partition to mount will probably be needed. I will be gone for about 20 min so I will be back. | 05:57 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, thanks again for your help | 05:57 |
| mik_ | wilee-nilee, if possible, please message me when you're back, if you still have a few moments to help. | 05:58 |
| wilee-nilee | mik_, you will jsut add a swap parttion from gparted in the unallocated space left after shrinking the install partition. | 05:58 |

| wilee-nilee | Mikness, In normal install equal to the ram is suggested, but this is so you can hibernate. Not knowing your setup, I would suggest whatb you think might be needed. You may not even be swapping anyway. What is your ram amount you have on the computer? | 06:25 |
| fued | hi, i have just installed ubuntu onto my computer, just trying to figure out how to install video card drivers, i have downloaded the 64bit linux nvidia 304.37 drivers for it, as a .run file, but when i open it(in gedit?) it says The file you opened has some invalid characters. | 06:26 |
| Blue1 | as a rule of thumb, I make the swap space 50% then physical ram. God help you if you swap 4G of ram. | 06:27 |
| Mikness | Blue1, thanks, that's what I've heard | 06:27 |
| wilee-nilee | fued, YOu would want to use the drivers in the repositories, the only time you would do othewise is if you had no other choice. | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | fued: generally bin files are not meant to be viewed. and generally after installing a driver, you have to reboot -- did you reboot? | 06:28 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, I think it's 8. Maybe 6 | 06:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, I doubt you are even swapping then to be honest. | 06:28 |
| fued | ill try rebooting thanks | 06:28 |
| Mikness | k | 06:28 |
| Blue1 | fued: hope that fixes your issue | 06:28 |
| Blue1 | fued the only time you need to reboot in Linux is after a driver install, or you can't get to consold (ctrl+alt+f1) -- unlike windows, there is no such thing as a theraputic reboot | 06:30 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, I'm just trying to figure out why it's so damn slow. I can handle it being slower than a HDD, but it's ridiculous being slower when it's installed. Right? | 06:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Mikness, A usb has a limitation in speed by a considerable amount, it does not communicate with the computer at near the speed a internal drive does. YOU might just use a ISO loaded usb with a huge persistence. How long till you get the replacement SSD? | 06:32 |
| wilee-nilee | not sure why there is a huge difference between the two drives, could be the 16 gig is just slow. | 06:32 |
| Blue1 | SSD is slow - but you can speed it up, by using a non-journaled file system (like ext2) and adding noatime in fstab | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Blue1, it is a usb flash is all. | 06:33 |
| Blue1 | wilee-nilee: same info -- | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | I know just saying it will run clunky no matter what. | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | wilee-nilee: i have a recipe on how to make a bootable usb flash drive if you need it. | 06:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Blue1, I don't but the user Mikness would be interested I'm sure. ;) | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | wilee-nilee: bootable the a running linux os I mean | 06:34 |
| Mikness | wilee-nilee, thanks for that idea. I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking of sending it back through Newegg, so I want to be set before I even have to do that.

| ryan_ | cant seem to find my launcher | 06:37 |
| ryan_ | is missing how do i get it back | 06:37 |
| Blue1 | ryan_: sadly running ubuntu 10.04 and debian squeeze here -- no 12.04 - maybe someone else can help? | 06:38 |
| Mikness | Blue1, is 'noatime' really that beneficial? | 06:39 |
| ryan_ | k thanks | 06:39 |
| Blue1 | Mikness: it does speed up access, since it is not constantly updating - yes it made a difference. | 06:39 |
| Mikness | hmm | 06:39 |
| Mikness | I'll have to try that | 06:39 |
| Blue1 | Mikness: I also did some testing with ext4 fs -- and noticed no significant slowing. | 06:40 |
| Blue1 | Mikness: but this gives you as much speed from the device possible. I still use this from time to time, when I dont have my netbook available. | 06:41 |
| Mikness | Well wilee-nilee , Blue1 , thanks for the help. I'll probably just run the ISO with persistence. I'll be on tomorrow to see if anyone can help with the core issue with my SSD. | 06:41 |

| timfrost | rax-: the script in the linked pastebin entry uses sudo. That won't work from cron, because sudo *needs* you to supply your password. You can run it without 'sudo' by adding it to the *root* crontab with 'sudo crontab -e' | 07:08 |
| timfrost | rax-: but of course, you need to be prepared for an automatic reboot if the kernel is updated | 07:09 |

| legogris | Hi all... I have an annoying problem were I have a LUKS partition in fstab that gets mounted at boot. However, whenever fsck feels the urge to look at it at boot I get an error message telling me that "serious errors were found" on the disk. If I skip mounting and run fsck again it shows up fine and I can mount without problems.... What du you suggest? Maybe a race condition? | 07:12 |
| bekks | legogris: Do you use fsck or fsck -f? | 07:13 |
| legogris | bekks: At boot or afterwards when I check you mean? | 07:13 |
| bekks | legogris: afterwards. | 07:14 |
| legogris | without. shouuld I try with? | 07:15 |
| legogris | bekks: running with -f now, we'll see how it goes. | 07:16 |

| llutz_ | roSievers: cp -r | 07:32 |
| roSievers | thanks | 07:32 |

| SpacePoet | how do i do that? | 07:34 |
| zamn | http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ | 07:34 |
| zamn | SpacePoet: basically you want to cd to /usr/share/applications | 07:36 |
| zamn | SpacePoet: and then just copy one of the already made .desktop files and edit it to what you need | 07:36 |
| zamn | SpacePoet: then search for the program in the super menu and drag it to your appl bar | 07:36 |
| llutz_ | doesn't gnome/unity use ~/.local/share/applications for personal files? | 07:36 |

| zamn | hey i edited the menuentry's in grub.cfg and when i restart my system its still using the old values. Could there be something conflicting? | 07:46 |
| llutz_ | zamn: grub.cfg is not to be edited manually. edit the /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/ files for changes | 07:47 |
| zamn | llutz_: well i didnt edit it manually | 07:47 |
| llutz_ | zamn: how did you " i edited the menuentry's in grub.cfg" then? | 07:47 |
| zamn | i followed the guide and made my own 40_custom | 07:47 |
| llutz_ | !details | zamn | 07:47 |
| ubottu | zamn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:47 |
| zamn | thats what i meant | 07:47 |
| zamn | and then took off the executable bits on 10_linux and 30_os-prober | 07:48 |
| zamn | then ran grub-update (iirc) and it regenerated my grub.cfg | 07:48 |
| llutz_ | zamn: did you run update-grub after changing the files? | 07:48 |
| zamn | with my own menuentryes | 07:48 |
| zamn | yeah | 07:48 |
| zamn | so if i go into my grub.cfg file | 07:48 |
| zamn | i see the menu entries there | 07:48 |
| zamn | so i know its writing it to the file | 07:48 |

| llutz_ | zamn: how could i tell you if YOU have more than one linux installation? | 07:49 |

| zamn | not linux.. | 07:49 |

| llutz_ | zamn: grep menuent /boot/grub/grub.cfg shows you the entries you made in /etc/grub.d/40_custom? | 07:51 |
| zamn | yes. | 07:51 |
| llutz_ | zamn: but when you boot, the menu doesn't? | 07:51 |
| zamn | llutz_: that is indeed the issue | 07:52 |
| llutz_ | zamn: you only have one harddisk, no RAID or such? | 07:52 |
| zamn | i have hdd's. One windows and One ubuntu. No raid. | 07:52 |
| llutz_ | zamn: sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub | 07:52 |
| zamn | llutz_: that is my windows hdd. /dev/sda = windows /dev/sdb = ubuntu | 07:53 |
| zamn | i believe i have grub on both but i forget heh | 07:53 |
| llutz_ | zamn: the bootmanager should reside in the MBR so /dev/sda is the drive to use | 07:53 |
| auronandace | zamn: you only need it on one (the one that bios is set to boot to) | 07:54 |
| zamn | ah okay | 07:54 |

| wolfgang__ | Im just curious what is lost+found folder? | 09:37 |
| bkc_ | belgianguy: I can't see any errors. however, you don't have a specific setup so it keeps falling back to defaults and this *might* mess things up if it flips form one mode to the other... I'd suggest setting up a proper xorg.conf with ati's configtool :) | 09:37 |
| k1l | wolfgang__: its a folder for files, that fsck repairs | 09:38 |
| bkc_ | wolfgang__: that's the folder where dead files go... quite literary... kind of like how checkdisk did back in the old days (win95/98/me) | 09:38 |
| belgianguy | bkc_: well I've migrated this install from my old laptop (nvidia) | 09:38 |
| wolfgang__ | k1l|bkc_ , is it important? | 09:39 |
| rax- | Any help on this would be much appreciated! : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544 | 09:39 |
| k1l | wolfgang__: just leave it there | 09:39 |
| bkc_ | belgianguy: that will probably **** all over your xserver config ^^ | 09:39 |
| bkc_ | wolfgang__: no, leave them | 09:39 |

| bkc_ | belgianguy: did you purge nvidia or just remove it? | 09:40 |
| bkc_ | belgianguy: yes, reconfiguring with aticonfig will probably work :) | 09:41 |
| belgianguy | bkc_: don't remember, it's been like this for a while:) | 09:41 |

| arvislacis | Hi all, I have question about Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or it isn't necessary? | 09:51 |
| k1l | arvislacis: if you install all the updates you already have 12.04.1 | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | av | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | arvislacis: you will upgrade seamlessly | 09:51 |
| k1l | arvislacis: its like the servicepack on windows | 09:52 |
| arvislacis | k1l, Ok, thanks, but does I see Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS information in my System details? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | arvislacis: you will also get 12.0.2 and 12.0.3 using regular updates too | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | arvislacis: lsb_release -a may show it, not sure | 09:52 |
| arvislacis | ActionParsnip, Ok | 09:52 |
| MonkeyDust | arvislacis a simple sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade will do | 09:52 |

| xtalmath | Help, I have an opengl application, which is synched to vblank, sync to vblank is enabled in nvidia settings, yet I can clearly see a tearing line!, also allthough it reports/measures the right monitor frame rate, it seems slightly lagged (as if it misses frames half of the time). | 11:59 |
| xtalmath | I just upgraded to 12.04, in 10.04 this was no problem | 12:00 |
| xtalmath | also the application cpu usage has doubled in the application | 12:01 |
| yatta | is there way to find last used commands in xchat? if no where can I suggest such option? | 12:02 |
| xtalmath | I was not running compiz on 12.04 however now I am because of Unity. If I understand correctly compiz lets opengl applications draw to offscreen framebuffer and then renders this as it sees fit to framebuffer | 12:03 |

| MadsRC | I need help with apache... I've installed a standard apache on a ubuntu 12.04 server on my server at mrc.wwi.dk. Then I disabbled the default site and made a new conf file, and added wiki.net42.ro.lt as the servername. Problem is that mrc.wwi.dk serves the same site as wiki.net42.ro.lt does. I'd like mrc.wwi.dk to serve nothing and only have wiki.net42.ro.lt to serve the website. How do you do that in apache? thought it was the ServerName that needed to be | 12:05 |

| auronandace | xtalmath: you can try unity2d, that uses metacity instead of compiz, less cpu crazy | 12:05 |

| maxjso | Hi - looking for NFS, autofs and rpc.statd help | 12:12 |
| maxjso | basically I'm unable to mount NFSv3 from Ubuntu 11.10 - I get "mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking." | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: its not implemented, you can use a liveCD and make an ISO of your system partition | 12:13 |
| maxjso | but rpc.statd is running for sure | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | maxjso: are there any bugs reported? | 12:13 |
| AminosAmigos | hello, is there a way to check if i have updated to 12.04.1 or not ? | 12:13 |

| killer_ | yatta : tried to copy them all | 12:18 |
| yatta | how bout paste then? | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: not a bad move | 12:18 |
| yatta | maybe data is still somewhere in middle | 12:19 |
| maxjso | actionparsnip : yes there are bug reports but no one matching this issue exactly | 12:19 |
| maxjso | most issues revolve around the statd not starting automatically but my problem is that the service starts but the mounter does not detect it | 12:20 |
| killer_ | so....i should use a recovery tool....? | 12:20 |
| yatta | killer_, well if you didn't cut files maybe you could use paste on desktop? | 12:21 |

| rabbi1 | ok | 13:26 |
| khuram | wow thanks warfaren | 13:27 |
| warfaren | khuram: no problem. that's how you install stuff that's in your repositories | 13:27 |
| khuram | so for example | 13:28 |
| susundberg | rabbi1: 'system->add->network printer->find network printer' and add here the ip you have | 13:28 |
| khuram | ok i will just cehck the website | 13:28 |

| === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n | ||
| khuram | alot of the websites are for older versions on ubuntu | 13:28 |
| khuram | and out dated? | 13:28 |
| khuram | i mean this is 12.04 and the latest i seen was 11 | 13:28 |
| warfaren | khuram: ubuntu software center can do the same thing but it's graphical so that people who are afraid to use the terminal will have an easier time installing a program | 13:28 |
| khuram | cool | 13:29 |
| khuram | so are you on blood thinners? | 13:29 |
| khuram | haha | 13:29 |

| khuram | do you play wc3? | 13:29 |
| warfaren | haven't done it for many years | 13:30 |

| warfaren | khuram: if you got the prompt back in the terminal after running the install wine command, you now have wine | 13:32 |
| warfaren | khuram: if it's still pumping out text all the time, it's still loading | 13:33 |
| khuram | it finsihed | 13:33 |
| khuram | now there is a purple screen | 13:33 |
| khuram | configuring corefronts installer | 13:33 |
| khuram | do i press enter? | 13:33 |
| warfaren | khuram: ah. is it asking you to agree to some license? | 13:34 |
| khuram | its the EULA | 13:34 |
| khuram | yea | 13:34 |
| KM0201 | khuram: yes | 13:34 |
| warfaren | if you agree to it, press enter | 13:34 |
| khuram | enter doesnt work | 13:34 |
| warfaren | try the arrow buttons first | 13:34 |
| KM0201 | khuram: tab/enter | 13:34 |
| khuram | yay | 13:34 |
| warfaren | it should get highlighted then | 13:34 |
| KM0201 | i think the arrow keys work as well though | 13:34 |
| warfaren | yeah. it's good to know about both though | 13:35 |
| khuram | tab is more direct as well | 13:35 |
| marcus____ | hello how to move /home wich is on partition let say sda2 to partition sda 1 wich is / ? | 13:35 |
| khuram | for example you can go right and leftwith tab | 13:35 |
| marcus____ | i jsut need to make dir on /say home1 cp items from home than what ? | 13:36 |
| KM0201 | marcus____: if you didn't do it when you installed, it would probably be easier to back up home, and reinstall. | 13:36 |
| warfaren | khuram: yeah so with wine successfully set up, you should be able to double click .exe files just as you would in windows. if it's saying permission denied you need to set the executable bit | 13:36 |
| KM0201 | marcus____: well, you could do that.. but i'd bet it's gonna be more work than that | 13:37 |
| khuram | and that would be in app center? | 13:37 |

| kantlivelong | ActionParsnip: and im pretty sure its using true multi-touch im able to use two fingers to scroll when said fingers are on complete opposites of the pad | 14:55 |
| kantlivelong | ActionParsnip: even weirder... ginn reports nothing even with builtin 2 scroll off | 14:56 |

| ActionParsnip | notwo: sure, just tweak the file in /usr/share/applications | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | notwo: i believe ubuntu tweak gives a gui for it but its not hard manually | 14:57 |
| JamesB | Howdy. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, and am trying to find xinitrc. When I use startx, it says cannot launch ubuntu, however I want to launch a different environment. Can't find the file it's using though | 14:57 |
| phiscribe | BrettWorth: last suggestion i have (other than a clean install) sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | JamesB: what about: sudo service lightdm start | 14:58 |

| belgianguy | but even if I restart lightdm, I see my desktop, mouse but can't click anyhting | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: tried a different session in the login screen? | 14:59 |
| belgianguy | I didn't know how to get to the login screen, usually had to cold boot | 15:00 |
| kantlivelong | ActionParsnip: yeah ginn doesnt even register a 2 finger scroll gesture | 15:01 |
| JamesB | ActionParsnip: I'd just like to set a default. It's a server, so I use startx only when I need to do a bunch of multitasking. Don't want a login menu, as I'm already logged in | 15:01 |
| BrettWorth | Didn't make any difference. Thanks for your time. Looks like I will have to reinstall. I'm not sure why I can't fix this but last time I attempted to, I got to this same point. If only OpenSuSE had Optimus hybrid graphics support! | 15:01 |

| Sant_Nicolau | Hello ! I have Ubuntu running on 3 PCs, can I point two of those computers to fetch updates from the third PC rather than all three downloading the same updates individually ? | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Sant_Nicolau: sure | 15:41 |
| Sant_Nicolau | ActionParsnip, I tried using AptonCD but it is too cumbersome, is there another approach ? | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Sant_Nicolau: http://www.packtpub.com/article/create-local-ubuntu-repository-using-apt-mirror-apt-cacher | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Sant_Nicolau: you can have a server with ALL the packages for your release which updates, you can then upgrade the systems from that one server over LAN (like a WSUS server) | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Sant_Nicolau: also makes minimal installs VERY fast :) | 15:43 |

| Sant_Nicolau | ActionParsnip, Thanks for your response, but I d don't want to mirror an entire repository, I only want to have one PC connected to the net for downloading updates and have the other two fetch it from the net-connected-PC. Is that possible ? | 15:48 |

| pshuk | I am haaving trouble installing 10.04 Ubuntu | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | pshuk then try 12.04 | 15:50 |
| pshuk | It is not seeing any of my HDDs | 15:50 |
| Sant_Nicolau | MonkeyDust, I have three desktops, connected by LAN. Instead of having all three connect to the net for updates, I want only one PC to connect to the net for updates and have the other two pull the updates from the PC that is connected to the net. | 15:51 |
| nikel | don't try, there's no programs menu | 15:51 |
| jrr | gah! it's unity! I log in with gnome classic, and the remote X app works | 15:51 |
| pshuk | I can't as softwares, I use work with 10.04 nd not w/ 12.04 | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Sant_Nicolau first of all, read this | 15:51 |

| pshuk | but there are 4 HDDs. | 15:52 |

| pshuk | and nothing | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | pshuk type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here -- better install 12.04 | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Sant_Nicolau you want one pc to act as a repo? | 15:54 |
| Sant_Nicolau | MonkeyDust, No, not cloning, they are already installed with identical applications, same apps on all PCs. Now, I only want one PC to connect to the net for updates and the other two PCs can use the downloaded updates instead of all three downloading individually. | 15:54 |
| Sant_Nicolau | MonkeyDust, Some what along those lines, having the updates from "/var/cache/apt/archives" on the net connected PC accessible to the other two PCs. | 15:56 |
| pshuk | Monkey.... can't get 12.04 as it is not for my softwares | 15:57 |
| pshuk | so have to get 10.04 | 15:57 |
| Sant_Nicolau | pshuk, Were your HDDs accessible before on 10.04 ? | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Sant_Nicolau ln to another /dev is not possible, but you could try ln -s that folder to the two other pc's | 15:59 |

| mees | Hey all. Is there a program that allows me to extract metadata from any file using ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| wildcard-ger | i have a laptop with ubuntu installed, now i sadly need to run win7 on it for some applications so i have to install it besides it.. what would be the preferred way to do so ? i have to make some free space so i can install windows, also there will probably be problems with windows bootmanager later so i kinda have to restore grub ? | 17:04 |

| ThinkT510 | wildcard-ger: yes, you will need to restore grub | 17:07 |
| ThinkT510 | !grub2 | wildcard-ger | 17:07 |
| ubottu | wildcard-ger: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| mees | nnkh: I don't understand what you mean | 17:07 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, Would it be possible to run W7 in a virtual? | 17:08 |
| wildcard-ger | ThinkT510, okay thanks. and how do i best resize my partiton so i will have free space for win7 ? can this be easily done with gparted ? | 17:08 |
| gisty2012 | Anyone any other ideas I might be able try ? | 17:08 |
| ThinkT510 | wildcard-ger: sure, gparted from a livecd/usb | 17:09 |

| ^BMP^ | Hello! | 17:09 |
| ^BMP^ | After installing Ubuntu 12.04, I rebooted and got this. It won't even load anything! | 17:09 |
| gld1982ltd | does anyone know of the correct alsa config for an hp dv9000 laptop? i can't seem to get the mic to work. i have tested the mic with gstreamer-properties. i have set everything in the mixer....3 different ones. i can't get my mic to work correctly. | 17:09 |
| ^BMP^ | Can anyone help me? | 17:09 |
| Walther | ^BMP^: you got what exactly | 17:10 |
| wilee-nilee | wildc4rd, resizing partitions is not a big deal, the problem you may have is if W7 is not the first partition on the HD, repairing it using a windows disc is much more difficult. | 17:10 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, i would prefer not running win7 in virtualbox or so. i need to run some ressource intense applications so i think its better if win has access to all ressources | 17:10 |
| ^BMP^ | Installed with Wubi. | 17:10 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger see above | 17:10 |
| marcus___ | can libre office wr on qt without gtk ? | 17:10 |
| Walther | !wubi | ^BMP^ | 17:11 |
| ubottu | ^BMP^: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

| dniMretsaM | I'm having issues installing lib64ncurses5-dev on 12.04. any help? | 17:11 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, okay, so can i make free space at the beginning of the disk ? | 17:11 |
| ^BMP^ | hmmmm bad time install an idiat ubuntu | 17:11 |
| petsounds | gisty2012: try Arista yet? | 17:12 |
| wildcard-ger | wouldnt this make my linux partions becoming /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda1 and so on ? | 17:12 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, YOu want the partitions to be in numerical order as well, do you already have a sda1? | 17:12 |
| Walther | ^BMP^: if i recall correctly, wubi is not too stable | 17:12 |
| Walther | ^BMP^: and you would be better off by a real installation | 17:12 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, yes i have a sda1 already | 17:12 |
| tech1 | should sudo apt-get remove, remove all package files? installing it took 344mb, and removing it only freed 30kb | 17:12 |
| MonkeyDust | whoever asked about meta-data, there's xiftool | 17:13 |
| MonkeyDust | whoever asked about meta-data, there's exiftool | 17:13 |
| ^BMP^ | but I was install 11.10 but again problem After installing Ubuntu 11.10, I rebooted and got this. It won't even load anything! | 17:13 |
| Oli | At what point in the boot sequence (ie which script) is PulseAudio loaded? I want to pass in some extra arguments. | 17:13 |
| opensshd | hi | 17:13 |
| opensshd | just upgraded to quantal, running gnome shell zsh terminal | 17:14 |
| ^BMP^ | I have CD ROM on ubuntu 12.04 I rebooted and got this. It won't even load anything! | 17:14 |
| ^BMP^ | how to make ? | 17:14 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, There is a the problem you want the partitions in numerical order basically. If it was me I would resize the linux then clone it then put the W7 in a sda1 at the beginning of the disc and then slide the linux in in after on ythe HD. THis basically sets you up for easier travel if you have problems later. | 17:14 |
| opensshd | everytime i mount ntfs partitions its incrementing mount point ie: data, data1, data2 | 17:15 |
| Walther | ^BMP^: you seem to have problems with english, what is your native language? | 17:15 |
| ^BMP^ | lol | 17:15 |
| ^BMP^ | english man | 17:15 |
| opensshd | anyone know why it's not using same mnt points? | 17:15 |
| opensshd | also, just fixed vlc qt bug... | 17:15 |
| ^BMP^ | im waiting more 2 week nothing good for ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 is shit | 17:15 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, That is what I would do but I clone often and do resizing so I'm familiar in this area. | 17:15 |
| Walther | oh sorry then, just asking because we get a lot of people in here who don't realize there are subchannels for plenty of languages | 17:16 |
| === Guest62888 is now known as cesar | ||

| === cesar is now known as Guest71145 | ||
| ^BMP^ | ???????????? | 17:17 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, If you had a second HD you could plugin you could just put W7 in it, and even avoid the grub reload which is rather easy as well. | 17:17 |
| ^BMP^ | why an idiat new ubuntu ? | 17:17 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, sadly i dont :) | 17:17 |
| ^BMP^ | people have problem install his ubuntu an idiat man | 17:18 |
| opensshd | also seeing a bunch of fs stuff in dmesg... | 17:18 |
| psichas | Walther, why you said for ^BMP^ go from one version to another versions of ubuntu all are just one ubuntu. but problems aren't in ubuntu versions anyway. | 17:18 |

| ^BMP^ | tell me know b... how to make work for 12.04 ??? | 17:18 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, you might go to the #windows channel and ask about any repairs if needed when widows is not first on the HD. It is easy to install this way but more of geekville on repairs is all. | 17:19 |
| Walther | ^BMP^: if you have the cd, put it in the drive, restart your computer and press the key that gets you to boot menu | 17:19 |
| MonkeyDust | ^BMP^ start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what goes wrong | 17:19 |

| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, On that channel a dual boot is not their favorite setups in general so ignore that rhetoric. | 17:20 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, guess i will go the way you told though it seems a little more work in the beginning i will be happy if it spares me long nights when ill have a problem :) | 17:20 |

| THE_GFR|WORK | Walther: so would the latest ubuntu run faster than 9.10 on that hardware? | 17:22 |
| Walther | THE_GFR|WORK: And yes, newer versions should work better than 9.10 | 17:22 |
| Walther | Sure. | 17:22 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | Walther: my concern is bootup speed and speed inside using it | 17:22 |
| Walther | Should be faster. | 17:22 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | it has 350 megabytes of bandwidth avaliable | 17:22 |

| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, okay, does the partion need to be the exact size as the partition i made the clone of ? even if not all space was used ? | 17:27 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, With clonezilla the partition reload to has to be equal in size or bigger if you want. | 17:28 |
| psichas | i think something wrong with version you need 64bit not 32 ^BMP^ | 17:28 |
| wilee-nilee | the partition you reload to has to be at the least equal in size to the original cloned partition, wildcard-ger | 17:28 |

| mees | Hey all. Is there a program that allows me to extract metadata from any file using ubuntu? | 17:29 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, okay because im not sure how windows calculates the space since its creates an extra 100mb partition for system or so.. could i make my linux 300gb, then install windows in 150 gb , and then just restore my linux into the 350gb free space and when some free space is left extend it ? | 17:29 |
| wildcard-ger | wilee-nilee, would be safer i guess ? ;D | 17:29 |
| luftikuss | mees: What kind of metadata? | 17:30 |
| MonkeyDust | mees try exif | 17:30 |
| mees | luftikuss: well from .dem files | 17:30 |
| wilee-nilee | wildcard-ger, If you make a NTFS first with gparted and put a boot flag on it and install W7 to it, no boot partition will be made that is what I do. The boot partition is basically for the windows encrytion if used. | 17:31 |
| wilee-nilee | ecryption* | 17:31 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 18:09 |
| cristian_c | I'm using lostirc | 18:09 |
| lab | Is there anyone familiar with this problem ? cause all the web and forums solutions I found, couldn't make it work on my system. Hi everyone, I am having problem booting a degraded raid 1 on a ubuntu 12.04 alternate install. Can't find the options to change on initram to BOOT_DEGRADED = true. Can anyone help me on booting it degraded ?? | 18:09 |
| cristian_c | How can I change the my personal quit message? | 18:09 |
| MonkeyDust | cristian_c type /quit blah | 18:09 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust, there is a hidden folder into the Home, and I've opened a file called events.conf. into this file I've seen two lines: quit = -- %1 has quit (%2) quit2 = -- %1 has quit. But I don't think it is the right line to change | 18:12 |
| cristian_c | *quit = 15-- 00%116 has quit 15(09%215) | 18:13 |

| LoT | is there any foreseeable issue(s) with using the QUantal kernel on a Precise system? | 18:17 |
| LoT | (the target for this is Precise, so its not an ubuntu+1 question) | 18:17 |
| damien | Hi, anyone knows how configure RAID1 disks given that they have already been mirrored earlier under Windows 7 (and I do not want to erase one of these two) | 18:17 |
| bekks | LoT: Why do you want to use a Quantal kernel? | 18:18 |
| mrgt_ | hey. I'm trying to use the alt + f2 keyboard shortcut to get the run application window to appear but it's not working. I've tried changing the shortcut in the setting but still no luck. | 18:18 |

| bekks | damien: Yes. No chance, to be exact. | 18:18 |

| MonkeyDust | cristian_c what irc client do you use? | 18:19 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust, I've written this previously, lostirc | 18:20 |
| LoT | bekks: apparently in 3.4.x and greater there's a bugfix for some rss-counter bug which is iadversely affecting programs which I run in a local-network server. | 18:20 |
| damien | Sorry, not sure to understand your answers bekks & mrgt_. To be a bit more specific, my question aims at knowing whether it is possible to configure RAID1 on my 2 hard drives, given that they have used to be mirrored under Windows 7, and I would just like to create a /dev/sdd or something that would just be the unique image of /dev/sdb + /dev/sdc | 18:20 |
| LoT | i havent seen an announcement of that bug fix being included in the Ubuntu kernel, nor do I know the commit(s) | 18:20 |
| killer_ | how do i install adobe.tar file in ubuntu | 18:21 |
| bekks | damien: It is not possible. | 18:21 |
| killer_ | natty | 18:21 |
| LoT | killer_: you untar the .tar file | 18:21 |
| damien | really ? | 18:21 |
| LoT | and then you probably have to build from source | 18:21 |
| * LoT isnt certain of that file | 18:21 | |
| bekks | damien: Really. | 18:21 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, what is athe adobe package? | 18:21 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Is that what lsb_release -d says? | 18:22 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Check and see. | 18:22 |
| killer_ | LoT : i have done that ..it has a usr and libflashplayer.so file | 18:22 |
| bekks | LoT: Then please point to the commit that fixes it in the official changelog of the vanilla kernel. Until then, we cant even prove it. | 18:22 |
| LoT | bekks: the question, though, is would the Quantal kernel run under Precise without uberExplosion | 18:22 |
| bekks | LoT: Normally, it should run without an ubercrash. | 18:22 |
| Whitesquall | Hi! What can I use for sending xmpp message in command line? Needs for script.. | 18:23 |
| LoT | bekks: that's really what i wanted to know, when i find the commit in the vanilla upstream kernel, i'll point you ot it. | 18:23 |
| LoT | but the commit was in 3.4.x, not sure if that impacts a fix. | 18:23 |
| damien | So the only other solution for me is to format one of the two disk, and then to configure the second to be the mirror of the first, and re-copy all my data from the 1st to the 2nd. Quite risky isn't it ? | 18:23 |
| bekks | damien: NOT possible. | 18:24 |

| bekks | LoT: The changelog links work fine here. | 18:27 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Ok, well, Alt-F2 should work for you, not sure why not. | 18:28 |
| damien | but I said I used it under windows 7 before, but not anymore. If it is only a linux based software raid, I am fine with that. | 18:28 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Do the others work? Like Alt-Tab ? | 18:29 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Alt-F9 | 18:29 |
| usr13 | ? | 18:30 |
| damien | sorry bekks, but considering what I have just added, is your answer to my first question still the same, or do I have a chance to implement RAID1 without having to format one of my 2 disks ? | 18:30 |
| bekks | damien: You will have to format both disks, not only one... | 18:30 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Alt-Space ? | 18:30 |
| bekks | damien: And you will not be able to use that RAID1 from the other OS. | 18:31 |
| damien | I understand your point and agaiun I am fine with that. But I am a bit worried about the fact I need to format both of them | 18:31 |
| mrgt_ | usr13, some are and some are not. I'm going to remove the ctrl part of the shortcut. 2 secs | 18:31 |

| damien | 2 final questions bekks : what IRC command do you use to add my nick to into your answer here ? second question (more related to my first topic) : my hard drives are partitioned into 3 partitions each today. If I want to mirror the 3 partitions of these, may I format the partitions one after the other, and use the remainng ones as buffers while raid1 is being implemented so that I can then re-copy data into it and then do the same fo | 18:36 |
| * sandun compiling colonel ! | 18:36 | |
| bekks | damien: I am just typing the first letters of your name, press the tab key, and my IRC client expands it to "damien: " -- thats called "tab completion". | 18:37 |
| tiagocruz | hi | 18:37 |
| damien | bekks: oki | 18:37 |
| sandun | damaltor: my gives | 18:37 |
| bekks | damien: The second answer means that you will introduce three RAID1, not one. | 18:37 |
| sandun | dam <tab> gives damien | 18:37 |
| damien | yes | 18:38 |
| sandun | it's how cool tab completion works. | 18:38 |
| damien | bekks: yes, 3 raid1 relying on 2 hard drives | 18:38 |
| sandun | do you know how that works? | 18:38 |
| Mikness | I've got an ssd issue. Does anyone have experience troubleshooting them? | 18:38 |
| bekks | damien: Whats on those three partitions? | 18:39 |
| damien | bekks: what do you mean ? the content ? just personal file on one hand, professional files on the second, and entertainement on the third one | 18:40 |
| sandun | those tab completion works with this datastructure : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree | 18:40 |
| damien | bekks: NTFS for entertainement and the rest in ext3 | 18:40 |
| sandun | anybody implemented that engine? | 18:40 |
| bekks | damien: So not separated like "one for linux, one for windows, one for sharing between linux and windows"? | 18:40 |
| mrgt_ | usr13, tired that but it didn't work :( . Is there any way to get that window without the shortcut? | 18:41 |
| designbybeck_ | I have a batch of donated computers we'll be teaching kids OSS on. These are some odd off brand monitors. When booting or when loaded it doesn't display the signal. I can plug it into an older dell monitor and it is fine. I have tried the "nomodeset" and that lets you see the screen. How do I fix this permanently? Here is a screenshot of the monitor specs: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/36968 | 18:41 |
| bekks | damien: Again: no chance to mirror using linux when going to use it from windows -- which is the ONLY valid reason for using NTFS. | 18:41 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: What window? | 18:41 |
| sandun | designbybek_ : you have to give the vga parameter to the kernel. | 18:42 |
| sandun | this is happened to my android phone. | 18:42 |
| damien | bekks: understood, but again, I do not want to use windows anymore. I will only access my files from ubuntu as from now on. | 18:43 |
| designbybeck_ | sandun: how do I do that? | 18:43 |
| bekks | damien: then you dont need ntfs. :) | 18:43 |
| CryptKpr | I'm having a problem with a new 12.04 server install specificaly no video after install. (mobo is ASROCK A55M-HVS w/ a8 APU using onboard video) | 18:43 |

| bekks | sandun: No. | 18:44 |
| designbybeck_ | that is where i did the nomodeset | 18:44 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Oh, the run command? What Desktop Environment are you using? | 18:44 |
| bekks | The first lines say: "do not edit this file". | 18:44 |
| akSeya | hi folks :) | 18:44 |
| sandun | then how could we do that bekks? | 18:44 |
| bekks | By editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub | 18:44 |
| akSeya | i'm using unity for the first time, coming from 7 years of KDE | 18:44 |
| bekks | !grub2 | 18:45 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 18:45 |
| designbybeck_ | bekks: and sandun we normally have the kids do their own install from USB... I don't think I want to have them go that far to edit hte grub? | 18:45 |
| damien | bekks: ok thanks. | 18:45 |
| bekks | designbybeck_: Then you have to create a remastered installation image for the kids. | 18:47 |
| Mikness | I'm having some issues with 12.04 as well as Windows7. Is there a way to test my ssd to see if it's failing? | 18:47 |
| bekks | Mikness: Which "issues"? | 18:47 |
| designbybeck_ | yikes! | 18:47 |
| designbybeck_ | we have 12 of these computers | 18:47 |
| CryptKpr | mikness you could use smartctl -t long /dev/sd* on the drive from a linux live disk to do a smart check | 18:48 |
| designbybeck_ | I guess the computers are ok... HP Compaq 512mb ram P4 processor | 18:48 |
| usr13 | mrgt_: Go to Settings Manager -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts and click on Add | 18:48 |
| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, for editing grub you go here. gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and change this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" quiet splash" to this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash" save it close it and run sudo update-grub | 18:48 |
| Mikness | bekks, Win7 will crap out and turn the pc off after about half an hour. Ubuntu will lock up. A friend looked at it before and suggested the I/O errors meant the SSD my OS is on was failing. | 18:48 |

| g0bl1n | hi, I installed nginx-full then removed it and deleted the /etc/nginx directory. Now doing an apt-get install nginx-full won't put the default configuration files there. Any hint ? | 18:49 |

| designbybeck_ | but i'll be having kids install this wilee-nilee, was hoping to not to have to do something like that | 18:49 |
| CryptKpr | Mikness /dev/sd* will list all drives | 18:49 |

| sandun | we don't care about your script kids designbybeck_ | 18:49 |
| akSeya | tell me, I'm behind a proxy. The whole system must use proxy configuration, but empathy should not | 18:49 |
| bekks | Mikness: So you are getting I/O errors. Which ones? Please pastebin them. | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, I understand, do any frivers show in additional drivers on some of these computers? | 18:49 |
| akSeya | how can I set that? | 18:49 |
| CryptKpr | mikness the do fdisk -l /dev/sd(whatever) to see if its the right size | 18:49 |

| designbybeck_ | i've tried ubuntu and xubuntu | 18:50 |
| akSeya | proxy is OK already, i just need to disable it on empathy | 18:50 |
| CryptKpr | after that run smartctl -t long /dev/sd(whatver) to do the test and when it finished use smartctl -l selftest /dev/sd(whatever) to get the report | 18:50 |
| Oli | g0bl1n: I suspect nginx-full is a metapackage so you might need to purge the packages it points to (search for them with dpkg -l | grep nginx) | 18:50 |
| sandun | designbybeck_ : you could correct the problem , as wilee-nilee explained. But what more except for your kids ? It's no sense for me. | 18:51 |
| Mikness | bekks, thanks. I'm not sure what they are right now. I've got one machine and i have to wait about 45 min for them to show errors. I don't know why 12.04/Win7 both run fine then later crap out. No problems when booting from USBs, btw | 18:51 |

| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, Kids are usually rather smart, if you explain that on these computers they need to follow a short instructions sheet, that explains the f6 nomodeset on the live cd and using it in the reboot and adding it to grub, I suspect they will have no problems. These are great skills to have anyway really, linux and ubuntu at best are plug and play, but you want to have some tools in your toolbox. | 19:02 |
| psichas | if you'll find bugs with wine download wine source ant try compiler ... download all packages ant use wine installed with apt-get again | 19:02 |

| stiv2k | wtf is going on | 19:03 |
| stiv2k | i try to run glxgears but it tells me to install mesa-utils | 19:03 |
| khuram | thank you the admin | 19:03 |
| stiv2k | so i try to install mesa-utils but it says it doesnt exist? | 19:03 |
| stiv2k | 'has no installation candidate' | 19:04 |
| theadmin | !find /usr/bin/glxgears | 19:04 |
| stiv2k | what does it mean? | 19:04 |
| ubottu | File /usr/bin/glxgears found in mesa-utils | 19:04 |
| designbybeck_ | I agree wilee-nilee... I just myself don't know how to do it ;) | 19:04 |

| designbybeck_ | thank you for your help... i'll keep playing with it | 19:04 |
| theadmin | stiv2k: Do you have the Universe repo enabled? | 19:04 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1164974/ | 19:04 |
| stiv2k | theadmin yeah, maybe i probably need to apt get update first? | 19:05 |
| theadmin | stiv2k: That too | 19:05 |
| stiv2k | im running off a live CD i just need glxgears to test a motherboard i repaired | 19:05 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, nm they're not connected yet | 19:05 |
| theadmin | stiv2k: Oh, then you certainly need to apt-get update | 19:05 |
| killer_ | how do i customize tty so that i get my custom background color and text and also font size | 19:05 |
| stiv2k | theadmin, ok :) | 19:05 |
| svip_ | Is it possible to remove and install two different packages at the same time, so dpkg won't remove a whole bunch of packages only to install them again? | 19:06 |
| stiv2k | theadmin, i love how changing 3 capacitors can make a radical difference between 'working' and 'not working | 19:06 |
| stiv2k | ' | 19:06 |
| theadmin | stiv2k: Well that's offtopic already... | 19:06 |
| Sven_vB | svip_: yes, e.g. with aptitude install do-not-want_ want-this-instead | 19:06 |
| CryptKpr | Mikness: I see an 8 GB and a 1TB disk. An ssd seems unlikely to be either one of those | 19:06 |
| Sven_vB | svip_: the _ at the end tells it to purge that | 19:07 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, yeah, the 64GB isn't connected, I guess | 19:07 |
| svip_ | Sven_vB: Awesome. Thanks for that. | 19:07 |
| stiv2k | theadmin, just providing context | 19:07 |
| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, Ah I see, boot the cd fr instal hit f6 choose nomodeset boot. On reboot at the grub choice hit the shift key to get there, hit e for edit use arow keys to get to the line in the kernel where you see no splash something like that, insert nomodeset there and boot to the install. Once in edit the grub file as I posted and you are done. | 19:07 |
| Sven_vB | does someone have an idea about what might go wrong with this? $ LANG=C mktemp foo-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-bar -> "mktemp: too few X's in template `foo-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-bar'" | 19:07 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, know how detect it without a restart? | 19:07 |
| Sven_vB | usually 8 X's are enough for mktemp | 19:07 |
| mrgt_ | usr13, what command should I put for my custom shortcut? | 19:08 |
| theadmin | Sven_vB: It works with 3 for me... | 19:08 |
| CryptKpr | Mikness: I dont think you can detect it without a restart. Is it a esata drive? | 19:08 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, yeah, think so | 19:08 |
| CryptKpr | so its in a external enclosure? | 19:09 |

| heisenmink | is there any mental trick to use to translate rwxrwx--x type strings into their 772-style representation? Like, if I want to copy a permission I see in ls -l and use it in chmod | 19:09 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, internal | 19:09 |
| marko-_- | does anyone know? | 19:09 |
| Sven_vB | nice. is floodbot open source? | 19:10 |
| CryptKpr | So it should be straight sata then - if you dont seen the drive listed then make sure its seen in bios and its probably best to have it configured as ahci | 19:10 |
| theadmin | heisenmink: Yes. r = 4, w = 2, x = 1. Sum the numbers to get combined permissions (e.g. rwx = 4+2+1 = 7) | 19:10 |
| heisenmink | theadmin: thank you | 19:11 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, ahci? I can see it in bios fine. I just had it disconnected. Detected HDD after reconnecting, but not SSD | 19:11 |
| Mikness | CryptKpr, would it be best just to log out and get back to you? | 19:11 |
| CryptKpr | Yeah that would be best | 19:12 |
| designbybeck_ | wilee-nilee: after I get in and edit the grub file and save it... does it just stay like that? does that effect any preformance or effects and such? | 19:12 |

| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, If you run updatre-grub it just uses that command nomodeset, it is for graphic problems. What I wonder is if you have researched the graphic problem here. | 19:13 |
| theadmin | heisenmink: Speaking of, chmod accepts owner-type[+|-|=][rwx] style representations, e.g. "chmod 777 somefile" = "chmod ugo=rwx somefile". "chmod 640 somefile" = "chmod u=rw,g=r,o= somefile" | 19:13 |

| theadmin | Athen: Yes | 19:14 |
| designbybeck_ | but I have 12 systems, and about 7 of these offbrand monitors | 19:14 |
| Athen | theadmin: I was surprised at how I couldn't find that info online | 19:14 |
| gotgnu | luftikuss: they pushed out 12.04.1 last night could it have something to do with that | 19:14 |
| Athen | it seems like a basic bit to include with most tutorials or something | 19:14 |
| luftikuss | gotgnu: Of course. High demand now. | 19:15 |
| wilee-nilee | designbybeck, Is this in a institutional setting in other words are the computers all staying there? | 19:15 |
| theadmin | Athen: Let me show you the logic: rc.local is ran by init. init runs as root. Therefore, rc.local is ran as root. | 19:15 |

| GeekAdmin | Just curious, is this the official Ubuntu channel? I know there are other Ubuntu channels on other IRC servers, but is this the actual official channel? | 20:00 |
| theadmin | starZ: It doesn't work with Ubuntu, but I find Qingy to be a very decent replacement (is in the repos) | 20:00 |
| theadmin | GeekAdmin: Yes, it is | 20:00 |
| theadmin | GeekAdmin: Look at the first word in the topic ;) | 20:00 |
| smarqle | It is the official one yes GeekAdmin | 20:01 |
| firesofmay | theadmin, checking. | 20:01 |
| GeekAdmin | thanks | 20:01 |
| GeekAdmin | smarqle: LOL thanks | 20:01 |
| starZ | theadmin: ok, get it.. nice, will it a try.. thx!! | 20:01 |
| GeekAdmin | oops that LOL was directed to theadmin | 20:02 |
| notwo | how can I switch between language layout settings with a shortcut key like alt shift? | 20:02 |
| theadmin | So I'll repeat my question, did anyone get OpenRC working on Ubuntu, and if so, how? | 20:03 |
| theadmin | notwo: Alt+Shift is the default, it would appear, however you can change it. It's in the "Language" part of the settings center. | 20:03 |
| notwo | theadmin, alt shift doesn't work | 20:04 |
| smarqle | Did I try what starZ? Sorry I caught that comment a bit late and lost the context | 20:04 |
| moes | Downloaded openjdk-6-jre in Lucid...No files in foxfire addons or about:plugins...search for files nothing found...restarted still nothing...apt-get openjdk-6-jre shows I have the latest version ??? | 20:05 |
| anshul | sound in my lappy is low for mp4 and other video files... any suggestions ? | 20:05 |
| theadmin | moes: It used to be "sun-java6-plugin" for the plugin. | 20:06 |
| Kasir | K1l_ still here? | 20:07 |
| firesofmay | theadmin, copied the source list, removed the dir as you said, ran that command still the same error :-/ | 20:08 |
| tworkin | what package is add-apt-repository in? | 20:09 |
| Pici | tworkin: python-software-properties iirc. | 20:10 |
| tworkin | Pici: thanks, thats it | 20:11 |
| moes | theadmin, Couldn't find package sun-java6-plugin | 20:11 |
| firesofmay | theadmin, any pointers? | 20:11 |
| theadmin | moes: If I recall right, it's in the partner repo. | 20:11 |
| theadmin | firesofmay: Nope, no idea anymore... APT's errors never make sense much :/ | 20:12 |
| Goldwing | damn.. this is cool, openvpn + bridging.. | 20:12 |

| Goldwing | make samples | 20:12 |
| Goldwing | whoops.. wrong terminal | 20:12 |
| theadmin | firesofmay: Are you using aptitude by any chance? If you're on a 64-bit system, don't use Aptitude. Has problems with multiarch. | 20:12 |
| firesofmay | theadmin, no i am using apt-get | 20:13 |
| theadmin | firesofmay: Oh, okay then, no idea at all | 20:13 |
| firesofmay | theadmin, thanks for your help. | 20:13 |
| theadmin | firesofmay: Well I didn't help did I | 20:13 |

| bakarat | i'm running 12.04 and after 31 days of uptime my computer had slowed downed noticeably it has 6 gig ram of which 2 was allocated to firefox (a lot but not that unusual after 30 days of many tabs) but more importantly, gnome-shell took up 3.3 gig! is there a known memory leak? | 20:16 |
| excelsior | ubuntu stalled out after reopening my laptop while I had a source file I was working on in VIM in a terminal emulator, are there any recovery vim files (vim noob here), and how do I access or recover them? (connection problems, I hope I don't miss the response...) | 20:17 |
| Ra | hello... just did an update. Am using ubuntu 12.04, & with the update, it's asking for a keyring priori the startup programs ask for password. The mouse button does not work to trigger any icons, though moves around the screen | 20:17 |
| bekks | bakarat: Stop firefox, restart firefox. Done. | 20:17 |
| trism | moes: icedtea6-plugin , that's the package | 20:17 |
| bakarat | bekks, ye but firefox is not the issue, 2 gig is a lot but doable. the 3.3 gig of gnome-shell seems highly abnormal though? | 20:17 |
| Help-Me | how too connect sony digital camera? | 20:18 |
| bekks | bakarat: I am not using gnome-shell, sorry. | 20:18 |
| Ra | guess the question is, is there a way to access the home directory from a guest account & reset the keyring? | 20:19 |

| Help-Me | how too connect sony digital camera? | 20:20 |
| bakarat | ra: not sure about guest but you can always boot as root (if the system is not encrypted) | 20:20 |
| theadmin | Ra: Guest account no, booting to recovery mode may help tho | 20:20 |
| Ra | going to try that "theadmin", thanks | 20:20 |
| Ra | & thank you as well bakarat | 20:20 |
| bakarat | theadmin, out of curiosity, am I correct in stating that the recovery console would not work properly with an encrypted system (unless you know those passwords that is) | 20:20 |
| bakarat | ? | 20:20 |
| Help-Me | how too connect sony digital camera? | 20:21 |
| theadmin | bakarat: I assume so, yes, if you mean like LUKS or TrueCrypt or such. | 20:21 |
| bakarat | theadmin, luks indeed | 20:21 |
| bakarat | ok thanks! | 20:21 |
| Help-Me | how i can connect sony digital camera? please help | 20:22 |
| theadmin | Help-Me: Please be patient. Not everyone here knows everything, you might need to wait a little. In the meantime, dig into the Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/) or http://askubuntu.com | 20:22 |
| moes | Trism..theadmin....Icetea6-plugin ...downloaded from synaptic and that resolved the problem...Thanks to both of you !!! | 20:22 |
| theadmin | moes: icedtea is for OpenJDK, not Sun Java... | 20:22 |
| bekks | !patience | Help-Me | 20:23 |
| ubottu | Help-Me: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:23 |
| trism | theadmin: sun-java isn't in the repos anymore though | 20:23 |
| theadmin | trism: Thought it'd be for Lucid | 20:23 |
| theadmin | trism: Oh well, old stuff is old, I don't touch old stuff | 20:23 |
| smarqle | What model is the camera? | 20:23 |
| trism | theadmin: was removed from all versions | 20:24 |
| Ra | theadmin, what is the way to login with recovery mode? | 20:24 |
| theadmin | trism: Oh, I see | 20:24 |
| moes | theadmin, Well openjdk showed it had install icetea6 but a search of synaptic show it was not installed | 20:24 |
| Ra | the screen goes directly to regular login | 20:24 |
| kurtwp_ | when you mount a windows share directory is it possible to see via the command line and not just in the GUI file manager | 20:24 |
| theadmin | Ra: During bootup (after BIOS post), hold Left Shift (Ubuntu 10.04 and up) or Escape (legacy Ubuntu versions), and choose the entry which has "recovery" in it | 20:24 |
| Ra | theadmin, thanks again | 20:25 |
| theadmin | kurtwp_: Sure. Mount it like this: mount -t cifs //computername/sharename -o username=your_username some_directory | 20:25 |
| kurtwp_ | k | 20:26 |
| === Guest63578 is now known as jsec | ||

| vlad_starkov | Question: does anyone know, why "tiff2pdf" creates inverted colour pdf? | 20:33 |
| theadmin | Asar: Might want to delete a folder under your home directory called something like .gnome_keyring :D | 20:33 |

| Oli | When in the boot process Pulseaudio is loaded? Specifically. I want to edit the command that is called. | 20:33 |
| jrib | Oli: it's started by upstart. What do you want to change? | 20:34 |
| Oli | jrib: I don't *think* it is - that's only there if if you explicitly enable it... It's usually run as the user (and the upstart job doesn't do that AFAICS) | 20:35 |
| Oli | (The upstart job is if you want to run it as a system-wide daemon) | 20:35 |
| jrib | Oli: there's a system-wide daemon started by upstart. For the user, it's started when it's needed | 20:35 |
| Oli | jrib: Yeah I want to interfere with the user-loaded version. Any idea where that actually gets loaded from? | 20:36 |
| Fishy | how do i remove the shortcut numbers from showing on unity dash | 20:36 |
| jrib | Oli: I know that you can change settings for it in ~/.pulse/client.conf | 20:36 |

| MartynKeigher_ | hey i need a littel help after installing the 12.04.1 iso. anyone there? | 20:38 |
| jrib | MartynKeigher_: just ask your real question | 20:38 |
| MartynKeigher_ | just installed 12.04.1 and i am faced with a cmd line | 20:38 |
| MartynKeigher_ | username and password. | 20:38 |
| Asar | anybody know what the name of that keyring folder is? | 20:38 |
| Asar | am not finding it | 20:39 |
| MartynKeigher_ | so i enter that and i dont get a desktop??? | 20:39 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: Which ISO did you use? | 20:39 |
| MartynKeigher_ | ideas? | 20:39 |
| MartynKeigher_ | 12.04.1 64 bit latest on the ubuntu site | 20:39 |
| Lunar_Lander | hi there, what does it mean that I got more than 10 times "xdg-open" in the task manager? | 20:39 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: Which of the ISOs for 12.04.1 64bit did you use? | 20:39 |
| jrib | MartynKeigher_: did you checksum your cd before proceeding with the install? | 20:39 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: There are several of them. | 20:39 |
| MartynKeigher_ | yes. it checked out | 20:39 |
| MartynKeigher_ | it was fine | 20:40 |
| trism | surt: usually means lightdm or the greeter is crashing, if you can stop it you can check the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ for clues (may need to add text to the grub options if you can't, so it doesn't start) | 20:40 |
| froxy | hi | 20:40 |
| jrib | Lunar_Lander: xdg-open just opens a file with whatever program is configured to open that type of file | 20:40 |
| CookieM_ | MartynKeigher_ try 'startx' command | 20:40 |
| MartynKeigher_ | now i have a flashing cursor after the line: martyn@MKbuntu:^$ | 20:40 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah jrib | 20:40 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: So please answer my question. | 20:40 |
| jrib | dkelson: you could write a small script to strip the package name from each file and then check it's installed with dpkg | 20:41 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: That behaviour is pretty normal for a server iso. | 20:41 |
| Oli | dkelson: something like this: dpkg --info *.deb | awk '/ Package\:/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-cache policy | 20:41 |
| MartynKeigher_ | i got the desktop one | 20:41 |
| MartynKeigher_ | start or startx didnt work | 20:41 |
| surt | trism: Can I simple reset lightdm somehow? Not sure if X is the problem or lightdm.... | 20:41 |
| fachher | Hello i have a problem with my integrated microphone | 20:41 |
| surt | resolution hasn't changed on monitor | 20:41 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: Expected, since "start" will never start X, and startx isnt supported anymore. | 20:41 |
| Nightwalkerkg | Someone,flash,flash. >.< xD | 20:41 |
| Oli | dkelson: you could probably clean the output up a lot but that should give you a good idea. | 20:41 |
| dkelson | jrib, Oli thanks | 20:41 |
| surt | So it seems x is running fine, but something is crashing. | 20:42 |
| trism | surt: hard to say without knowing what's going on | 20:42 |
| MartynKeigher_ | any ideas bekks?? | 20:42 |
| MartynKeigher_ | this is a fresh install | 20:42 |
| MartynKeigher_ | the desktop 64bit ios | 20:42 |
| fachher | I can record sound with gnome-sound-recorder but not with other programms | 20:42 |
| MartynKeigher_ | *iso | 20:42 |
| bekks | MartynKeigher_: Did you have a graphical installer while installing? | 20:43 |
| trism | surt: sudo stop lightdm; look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ see if anything looks weird | 20:43 |
| surt | trism: There's seven log files in the lightdm var log folder...and all of it's content looks weird. | 20:43 |
| fachher | also in the audio settings "the beam" doesn't move | 20:43 |
| surt | The logs aren't even timestamped. | 20:44 |
| fachher | Wenn i speak inside of the mic | 20:44 |
| MartynKeigher_ | yes i did | 20:44 |
| MartynKeigher_ | during install i create the main 'martyn' | 20:44 |
| ratcheer | Has anyone else noticed the problem with .goutputstream* files in your home folder? | 20:44 |
| MartynKeigher_ | account | 20:44 |
| trism | surt: pastebin /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log then and we can take a look | 20:44 |

| marko-_- | actually jrib i tried your way and just edited the Videos to Video and it didn't work. Videos was still under the shortcut menu but when i changed it here .gtk-bookmarks it worked. Why? | 20:54 |
| adorablepuppy | Goldwing, I'm not quite sure I understand your advice. I need the IP address to be 70.61, you're telling me to change it to local because I can't be on the 192.168 network with a 70.61 address. But then, how am I supposed to get outside the network with a 70.61 address? | 20:55 |
| jrib | marko-_-: you probably need to log out and log back in | 20:55 |
| jrib | marko-_-: or maybe you alos need to edit ~/.gtk-bookmarks like you did; I'm not sure | 20:56 |
| marko-_- | jrib, but it works now when i changed it in the file .gtk-bookmarks. I'm a curious guy i just wanna know what is the difference between | 20:56 |
| marko-_- | oh | 20:56 |
| marko-_- | okay thanks anyway man | 20:56 |
| Goldwing | well, your eth0 shold have : network 70.61.187.0 and broadcast 70.61.187.255 | 20:56 |

| Joe1 | am i supposed to put the install file some place | 21:01 |
| jrib | lordnynex: I doubt there's any special file for it, but you can just add the relevant code to your bashrc. #bash can help more if google isn't helpful. If they don't want to help with this, come back and I'll research a bit. I do this with zsh, but haven't bothered with bash | 21:02 |
| lordnynex | jrib, I add a logger function to /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm that just sends history -a to syslog. | 21:02 |
| jrib | Joe1: what are you installing exactly? | 21:02 |
| surt | trism: In those log files, what would an nvidia error look like? | 21:03 |
| alek66 | How can I add apps to run as services, and be loaded at boot and controlled by service start/stop/restart | 21:03 |
| WeThePeople | how do i set the tor exit node? | 21:03 |
| lordnynex | jrib, thats fine I can add it but I've been unsuccessful at setting a system wide bashrc. I thought /etc/bash.bashrc would be sourced at login but it doesn't seem to be the case. Am I looking in the wrong place? | 21:03 |
| jrib | lordnynex: /etc/bash.bashrc is the system-wide bashrc afaik | 21:04 |

| ratcheer | alek66: Study Upstart? | 21:04 |
| trism | surt: it would say nvidia in the error message, so you could grep for it: grep nvidia /var/log/kern.log; just curious if there is any additional info, but I'm not sure it will help | 21:05 |
| alek66 | ratcheer: upstart? I will check it | 21:05 |
| jrib | lordnynex: by the way, this page seems like a reasonable reference: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-4.html | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | !upstart | alek66 | 21:05 |
| ubottu | alek66: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:05 |
| trism | surt: when there are driver errors they often show up there | 21:05 |
| lordnynex | jrib, thanks | 21:05 |
| surt | trism: That's exactly what I did but...none of the results I found seem like errors. | 21:05 |
| alek66 | zykotick9: ubottu thanks will check it | 21:06 |
| jrib | lordnynex: bashrc isn't sourced at login by the way. /etc/profile should be though. I think the xterm title stuff is more appropriate in bashrc though | 21:06 |
| rustler770 | Anyone know how to get rid of printer icon near clock? | 21:06 |

| ratcheer | alek66: Here's a better resource to actually learn it: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ | 21:07 |
| jrib | lordnynex: no (unless /etc/profile sources it) | 21:07 |
| surt | trism: Actually if there was a video card hardware error wouldn't my system fail to display everything? | 21:07 |
| surt | It's just X/lightdm, and windows.... | 21:08 |
| trism | surt: good point | 21:08 |
| surt | trism: Going to try re-seating the card now. | 21:08 |

| rustler770 | fry: did you try the GUI tolls? | 22:21 |
| fry | adorablepuppy, sure | 22:21 |
| rustler770 | tools | 22:21 |
| fry | i tried disk manager from the menu | 22:21 |
| fry | but it can't format it... | 22:22 |
| fry | i haven't tried gparted yet, but i don't think it will work... | 22:22 |
| rustler770 | fry: can you write to the flash? | 22:22 |
| fry | now that i look... nope! | 22:23 |
| anotheruser | fry, turn the "read only" physical switch of the flash drive to off? | 22:23 |
| rustler770 | fry: do you need to mount the flash first? | 22:23 |
| fry | it has no read-only switch | 22:23 |
| fry | rustler770, it mounts itself, automatically | 22:24 |
| fry | i'm trying with root now | 22:24 |
| Babbu | hi everyone | 22:24 |
| rustler770 | fry: I'm out of ideas | 22:24 |
| northernen | fry, is it a Kingston stick? | 22:24 |
| fry | root account can write to it... | 22:24 |
| fry | northernen, nope | 22:25 |
| rustler770 | fry chmod then | 22:25 |
| northernen | Mounted through fstab with some special options then? | 22:25 |
| fry | RussellB28, wait. I always have root permissions when i run 'dd' command, so why would it fail at writing on it? | 22:26 |
| rustler770 | chggrp | 22:26 |
| fry | northernen, fstab? | 22:26 |
| northernen | fry, how did you mount it? | 22:26 |
| fry | rustler770, chggrp? northernen, the only think i now is that's a 2 partitions usb drive, one with XFS filesystem, one with luks; it mounts itself | 22:27 |
| fry | automatically i mean | 22:27 |
| rustler770 | fry: chgrp chown | 22:28 |
| fry | uhh | 22:28 |
| fry | i'll try | 22:28 |
| fry | but first i got to RTFM | 22:28 |
| fry | lol | 22:28 |
| northernen | fry, chown <yourname>:<yourgroup> /dev/sdX | 22:29 |

| KornKage3 | hey there, i installed ubuntu using wubi | 22:31 |
| KornKage3 | i am currently in windows 7 | 22:31 |
| KornKage3 | is it possible to boot ubuntu from some virtual machine app? | 22:31 |
| MonkeyDust | wubi :( | 22:32 |
| const_antine | stupid canon doesn't have linux drivers for ubuntu | 22:32 |
| fry | i can't believe it!!! seems it works!! and i can't believe that my usb drive appears as going at 371 MB/s too!!!! | 22:32 |
| lauratika | installing new ram on pc and ubuntu wont boot, with one ram works fine | 22:32 |
| fry | const_antine, agree with u | 22:32 |
| fry | lauratika, you could try and run a memtest | 22:32 |
| const_antine | how am i supposed to print now? | 22:32 |
| rustler770 | cont_antine:got mine working pixma | 22:33 |
| fry | const_antine, lol, sometimes you are lucky enough to find an open source version of the drivers | 22:33 |
| northernen | KornKage3, probably all will be able to boot Ubuntu. | 22:33 |
| const_antine | rustler770 which driver do you have? | 22:33 |
| fry | const_antine, other times you're just not enough.. | 22:33 |
| lauratika | fry: how do i do that? | 22:33 |
| northernen | fry, great. Was it just the permissions? | 22:33 |
| fry | lauratika, there's an option on grub at the boot time | 22:33 |
| KornKage3 | northernen how do i use vmware to boot that ubuntu | 22:33 |
| rustler770 | const_antine:I'll have to look | 22:33 |
| damien | hi, does anyone use ubuntu as a guest under virtualbox ? | 22:34 |
| fry | northernen, i'm verifying that :) | 22:34 |
| const_antine | looks like it managed to find something in the database for ip5000 | 22:34 |
| lauratika | fry: but if i install both sticks it wont boot at all | 22:34 |
| const_antine | also pixma, coincidentaly | 22:34 |
| northernen | KornKage3, install VMware. Then download the Ubuntu ISO and install it. | 22:34 |
| fry | lauratika, now i see. | 22:34 |
| compdoc | qemu-kvm and virt-manager is a good one | 22:34 |
| KornKage3 | ok | 22:34 |
| MonkeyDust | KornKage3 better install virtuabox, it's in the repos and better supported here | 22:34 |
| KornKage3 | ok | 22:35 |
| lauratika | fry: is there another otpion or explination? | 22:35 |
| KornKage3 | ty | 22:35 |
| fry | lauratika, i think you should verify with absolute certainty that your hardware matches the new ram stick | 22:35 |
| rustler770 | const_antine:cnijfilter-mg5300series-3.60-1-.deb | 22:35 |
| northernen | compdoc, can't run qemu on Windows 7 though? | 22:36 |
| fry | lauratika, e.g.: make sure you're not overdoing with ram, i mean, make sure you don't have more ram than what you can support on your motherboard | 22:36 |
| soundray | lauratika: will it work with the second stick if you use only that? | 22:36 |
| fry | lauratika, and make sure about DDR2 / DDR3 matches | 22:36 |
| northernen | damien, install it just like any other OS. | 22:36 |
| compdoc | northernen, ooops - misunterstood | 22:37 |
| compdoc | under | 22:37 |
| lauratika | soundray yes, both sticks work... in both slots using them single | 22:37 |
| damien | northernen: actually i asked it because I have already installed it, but I experienced much trouble trying to connect one usb device on it. | 22:37 |
| y3n | esmi.allalla.com | 22:37 |
| lauratika | fry:ddr2 matches same with maximum ram allowed. | 22:38 |
| soundray | lauratika: I see, so it's a mismatch between the pair | 22:38 |
| fry | lauratika, and now i see that your ram sticks work, if not together | 22:38 |
| damien | northernen: I have windows 7 as a host, and ubuntu 12.04 as a guest through virtual box 4.1.18, and usb devices are captured, but impossible to see anything new when typing fdisk -l | 22:38 |
| fry | soundray, what could it be? maybe a failing dual channel mode? | 22:38 |
| northernen | damien, does it recognise the USB device and you're unable to use it, or does it not recognise it? | 22:38 |
| damien | northernen: the most intersting thing is that usb keyboard and mouse work ! | 22:39 |
| lauratika | soundray: what means this, that kington wont work with the nother kind? | 22:39 |
| fry | soundray, since he/she is installing a new one and it might the he/she had a pair that worked with the dual channel mode activated? | 22:39 |
| fry | northernen, IT WORKED! thank you veeery much! :) | 22:40 |
| fry | now i can format the drive 8) | 22:40 |
| northernen | damien, I suppose USB support is enabled for the VM then. I guess you have unmounted it from the host OS? | 22:40 |
| jFenton | damien, you're not alone in that. I have a Mac OSX guest that will not accept usb devices except at boot time, i.e. I connect my device first, boot the guest, and then it works, but not hot plugging while the guest is running. | 22:40 |
| jokin | i have no more hair left to pull out.. can i pull yours until mine grows back? | 22:40 |
| soundray | lauratika, fry: yes, I think the dual channel mode won't work because of timing differences between the modules. Bad luck | 22:40 |
| damien | northernen: yes and yes | 22:41 |
| fry | soundray, lauratika: maybe you can give it back for a new pair, explaining your problem | 22:41 |
| lauratika | so what is the fix?? | 22:42 |
| fry | lauratika, you should check the bios settings looking for the dual channel option | 22:42 |
| soundray | lauratika, fry: get matching sticks somehow | 22:42 |
| damien | northernen: of course I have installed all the extension pack, added myself to vboxusers group .... well I read a lot of ubuntu / virtualbox forums, ..... but nothing actually worked to solve my issue. | 22:42 |
| fry | because we are assuming that's a problem with dual channel, but we're not sure | 22:42 |
| lauratika | dual channel in bios, could you explaion bit more please? | 22:43 |
| soundray | lauratika: I agree with what fry said. If you can deconfigure dual channel mode, perhaps you can at least have more RAM. | 22:43 |
| northernen | damien, any log entries in the syslog? | 22:43 |
| fry | lauratika, of course. | 22:43 |
| === erry_ is now known as erry | ||
| damien | where should I look ? /etc/something ? | 22:43 |
| soundray | lauratika: you need to enter the BIOS setup and look around for memory related options | 22:43 |
| fry | i think you don't want the technical explanation, or can i run through it? (it's very basic) | 22:44 |
| northernen | damnick, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages. | 22:44 |
| fry | ^ lauratika | 22:44 |
| lauratika | fry: sure shoot! | 22:44 |
| northernen | damien, | 22:44 |
| fry | basically, when you have a pair of ram and the dual channel mode on, you use your ram sticks in a "parallel" way, "parallel" as in the electronic circuits i think | 22:45 |
| fry | aaand, you can go for a complete explanation at wikipedia | 22:45 |
| lauratika | fry, soundray: wanna add something i been using the 2 sticks for a week already and work fine till 2 days ago. | 22:45 |
| fry | lauratika, soundray: lol. | 22:46 |
| soundray | lauratika, fry: oh, that's extra weird | 22:46 |
| fry | soundray, absolutely. | 22:46 |
| soundray | lauratika: and you didn't "tune" anything? | 22:46 |
| lauratika | nope, what happen was that electricity went off, then this issues araise | 22:46 |

| fry | ooohhh | 22:49 |
| fry | lauratika, we didn't mentioned the sockets! | 22:49 |
| lauratika | sockets??? | 22:49 |

| lauratika | what about them? | 22:50 |
| fry | lauratika, might be that one of the RAM sockets has gone while you was using them! | 22:50 |
| fry | lauratika, the ram sockets are the places where you put them into your computer | 22:50 |
| soundray | fry: good call. lauratika: how many do you have? | 22:50 |
| fry | gotcha? :) | 22:50 |

| Guest50131 | hi i'm looking for ubuntu install help? | 22:51 |
| soundray | lauratika: when you tried them single, did you use both sockets? | 22:51 |
| lauratika | which mean stick a in socket 1 and stikc a in socket 2 and stick b in both sockets | 22:51 |
| lauratika | yes both stick in both sockets | 22:52 |
| soundray | lauratika: okay, then it's not one of the sockets that's faulty | 22:52 |
| fry | lauratika, good job, so the odd still remains odd for art's sake. | 22:52 |
| Guest50131 | ?? | 22:52 |
| lauratika | yep, fisrt figure that was the ram sticks | 22:52 |
| Guest50131 | I used a LiveCD and tried to install the newest Ubuntu release but encountered an error that ejected my CD and stopped the installation. | 22:52 |
| lauratika | so now im using just one, but sockets and sticks both work single... | 22:52 |

| fry | lauratika, at the moment i only found people who requested an exchange/refund.. | 23:16 |
| soundray | passing_ruffian: http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_AE1200 says it depends on the revision | 23:17 |
| lauratika | you mean another, have a new one and the old one only | 23:17 |
| northernen | fry, hehe. | 23:17 |
| fry | lauratika, i mean that people gave back their new ones for another new one to give it a try | 23:17 |
| meio | Question: How to change the kernel module of an ethernet controller as being root? I really need to know since I need to configure my network and my realtek rtl8169 has a big error that won't make it to wo | 23:18 |
| Guest35183 | passing_rufian: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Adapters/AE1200-linux-Driver/m-p/410963?comm_cc=HSus&comm_lang=en#M30247 | 23:18 |
| fry | yet i'm not satisfied with this solution. | 23:18 |
| lauratika | i understood that part, problem is that im not sure i have the ticket | 23:18 |
| passing_ruffian | thanks | 23:19 |
| fry | lauratika, sad to hear.. | 23:20 |
| lauratika | :'( | 23:20 |
| soundray | lauratika: don't cry -- in the end you can always throw money at the problem | 23:21 |
| lauratika | lol | 23:21 |
| fry | lulz | 23:21 |
| lauratika | i can try to throw beer at it. | 23:21 |
| soundray | lauratika: get two matched 2GB sticks with an exchange warranty if it still won't work | 23:22 |
| soundray | lauratika: I think you may cause a short circuit if you use beer :) | 23:22 |
| newubuntuuser | got a problem with a multiple monitor install on U12.04 I've got three nautilus windows running on my main screen and a white second monitor... | 23:23 |
| lauratika | beer on myslef | 23:24 |
| soundray | lauratika: that's a good plan, live with 1GB and have a drink to console yourself | 23:24 |
| northernen | soundray, good plan indeed. | 23:25 |
| lauratika | noooooooooooooooo | 23:25 |
| lauratika | ok also in the motherboard 2 cilinders of the circuits got swollen | 23:25 |
| Guest50131 | trying out the 2nd livecd now | 23:25 |
| fry | ok Guest50131 | 23:26 |
| soundray | lauratika: oh, then you've found the problem | 23:26 |
| Guest50131 | thanks | 23:26 |
| Guest50131 | for helping me out! | 23:26 |
| compdoc | lauratika, its bad, then | 23:26 |
| fry | Guest50131, hope you're done! :) | 23:26 |
| Guest50131 | i hope so too! :) | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | newubuntuuser: and what video cards/chipset are you using? | 23:26 |
| soundray | lauratika: electrolyte capacitors do that sometimes. | 23:26 |
| meio | how to edit kernel modules assgined to an ethernet controller? | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: edit in what way? | 23:27 |
| lauratika | sounds like it, motherboard going bad... time for a new one? | 23:27 |
| soundray | lauratika: someone with amazing soldering skills might be able to replace them for you, but a new MB is the better bet | 23:27 |
| meio | edit in a mode that it is changed | 23:27 |
| compdoc | best to do that, yes | 23:27 |
| lauratika | soundray:and then what happens?? | 23:27 |
| newubuntuuser | gforce 8400 nvidia. | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: rephrase what you mean.... | 23:27 |
| soundray | lauratika: with replaced capacitors? It might work or it might not... | 23:27 |
| compdoc | lauratika, with a new one, it all goes faster | 23:28 |
| lauratika | so, you think people that isnt my meory but the MB? | 23:28 |
| meio | If I type : lspci -v I will see that my ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) is displayed it has kernel modules: r8169 assigned to it. I want to change it so that r8168 is assigned to it and not r8169 | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis | hardware failures can be really flakey.. | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: blacklist the one you dont want to use. and load the other module | 23:28 |
| soundray | lauratika: if you have visibly changed capacitors, that's a classic fault | 23:29 |
| meio | Dr_Willis: because I have already blacklisted r8169 and it is still showing | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: rmmod it... | 23:29 |
| meio | Dr_Willis: I already did that | 23:29 |
| compdoc | lauratika, possible. Bad caps make it freeze, reboot, shutdown, etc | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i would guess you blacklisted it wrongly also. | 23:29 |
| fry | lauratika, check this out! :) http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=386&tab=3 | 23:29 |
| fry | oops, maybe that's not the point thou... | 23:30 |
| meio | no it is correctly blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf so it isn't showing anymore the wired connection | 23:30 |
| Guest50131 | should i not check the "Download updates while installing" and "Install this third partty software" boxes? | 23:30 |
| Guest50131 | could that have caused the problem? | 23:30 |
| meio | dr_Willis : I also did it via root user | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: i always enable them.. | 23:30 |
| Guest50131 | okay so it shouldn't matter. i'll check em. | 23:30 |
| fry | Guest50131, hmm, you could try and uncheck them then | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: well.. no other user could do it. :) so you would have to be root/use sudo. | 23:30 |
| Guest50131 | okay maybe i should uncheck? | 23:30 |
| Guest50131 | will it affect the install negatively if i uncheck? | 23:31 |
| fry | Guest50131, i think that's irrilevant, because you can download updates later | 23:31 |
| lauratika | fry: what exactly need to read?... which tab? | 23:31 |
| Guest50131 | okay i'll uncheck | 23:31 |
| meio | I already did everything possible only last way so that this work because I installed r8168 which is the only driver working | 23:31 |
| fry | lauratika, oops, sorry, memory support on the top right | 23:31 |
| fry | lauratika, but since here is late night i'll soon going to bed | 23:31 |
| fry | and cant help you people anymore | 23:32 |
| meio | r8169 driver from ubuntu doesn't work and the one downloaded from realtek neither so I have to edit the kernel modules displayed on llspci -v so that it shows that it has kernel modules: r8169 | 23:32 |
| newubuntuuser | i've got teamviewer if anyone wants to look | 23:32 |
| Guest50131 | got the error message again | 23:32 |
| Guest50131 | whaaaat | 23:32 |
| soundray | fry: Europe? | 23:32 |
| fry | damn | 23:32 |
| fry | Guest50131, referred to your mex | 23:32 |
| fry | soundray, yep | 23:32 |
| compdoc | fry, you cannot leave 0 we wont let you! | 23:32 |
| Guest50131 | would it be better to try to install an older version of linux? | 23:32 |
| soundray | Guest50131: did you check the md5sum on the download? | 23:32 |
| Guest50131 | mex? | 23:32 |
| Guest50131 | i couldn't figure out how to do that on a mac computer | 23:33 |
| fry | mex = message | 23:33 |
| Guest50131 | but it should be a clean iso because it | 23:33 |
| soundray | Guest50131: you should have asked. It's dead simple | 23:33 |
| Guest50131 | s right from the website | 23:33 |
| Guest50131 | okay how? | 23:33 |
| Guest50131 | i'll check it | 23:33 |
| fry | http://www.vmware.com/download/md5.html | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | any download can be currupted... | 23:33 |
| meio | Dr_Willis: I already reinstalled 11.10 3 times already | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | and the iso files are VERY compressed. it dosent take a lot fo mess it up. | 23:33 |
| soundray | Guest50131: Mac OS has an md5 command preinstalled | 23:33 |
| soundray | Guest50131: do you know how to use the terminal? | 23:34 |
| Guest50131 | okay soundray, how do i do that? | 23:34 |
| Guest50131 | yes sort of. | 23:34 |
| meio | @Dr_Willis: http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: what does that have to do with anything? ;) If a newer kenel may have proper drivers..id go with 12.04 or even test out 12.10 | 23:34 |
| Guest50131 | i have the terminal open | 23:34 |
| soundray | Guest50131: open one and cd to the directory where you downloaded the iso | 23:34 |
| fry | if someone knows the exact steps on MAC about how to md5 check you'll go faster, otherwise you could check http://www.vmware.com/download/md5.html, Guest50131 | 23:34 |
| lauratika | thanx fry | 23:34 |
| meio | I already installed 12.04 same problem I installed it twice | 23:34 |
| Guest50131 | ok the file is on the desktop... | 23:34 |
| meio | no way to make it work | 23:34 |
| lauratika | interesting cause kingston model is different but then why it will work at first? | 23:35 |
| === uw_ is now known as uw | ||
| meio | that is my final solution before I go back to windows, | 23:35 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: why do you expect reinstalling the os to fix anything? You could try a 12.10 live cd.. | 23:35 |
| cirwin | when I try to ssh in to my new machine as a new user I get "shell request failed on channel 0" after it has validated my public key | 23:35 |
| cirwin | any ideas? | 23:35 |
| Guest50131 | how do i cd to it? sorry i only know a little about terminal | 23:35 |
| soundray | Guest50131: so you do " cd ~/Desktop " (no quotes) | 23:35 |
| Guest50131 | okay done | 23:35 |
| fry | lauratika, afraid couldn't help much more, i'm really falling asleep :( | 23:35 |
| meio | ok I will try it tomorrow but that is not going to work | 23:35 |
| soundray | Guest50131: now " md5 *iso " | 23:35 |
| meio | because if it would work the drivers available to download would work also on 11.10 or 12.04 | 23:36 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: not our fault that the HW maker cant supply drivers for their own hardware... then again.. ive rarely seen a wired NIC that dident work.. | 23:36 |
| fry | lauratika, it could be that the list is not up to date | 23:36 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: not really... the kernel versions are VERY differnt. | 23:36 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: so your logic is flawed. | 23:36 |
| soundray | Guest50131: it'll take a while to calculate the checksum. When it spits it out, compare it with the one that's provided on the download page. | 23:36 |
| Guest50131 | typed in md5 .iso. but nothing happened? should it be the file name? | 23:36 |
| fry | yep | 23:36 |
| soundray | Guest50131: yes, it should | 23:36 |
| lauratika | thanx a lot good night | 23:37 |
| soundray | Guest50131: note I said *iso | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: how are you even installing the drivers from teh realtek site? | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | okay tried it but it just entered to the next line | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | md5 ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:37 |
| meio | simple like they say to install | 23:37 |
| fry | Guest50131, now you have 2 wait i guess | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | was that it if that's the file name? | 23:37 |
| meio | get the tar file | 23:37 |
| meio | tar xfvj the file | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | oh. okay. | 23:37 |
| meio | then make clean modules | 23:37 |
| meio | make install | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | nothing seems to be happening thoug | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | h | 23:37 |
| meio | its explained there | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: so you 'compiled' them.. | 23:37 |
| fry | Guest50131, just normal, it takes a while | 23:37 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 23:38 |
| Guest50131 | i'm able to type into the terminal, if that matters | 23:38 |
| soundray | Guest50131: it doesn't | 23:38 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 23:38 |
| meio | I could have used ./autorun.sh | 23:38 |
| soundray | Guest50131: it'll spit out the checksum in the end | 23:38 |
| meio | but I prefered a clean install | 23:38 |
| Guest50131 | okay just waiting then | 23:38 |
| Guest50131 | would it work if i used an older stable version of linux? | 23:39 |
| soundray | Guest50131: it's impossible to tell before we know what the problem is | 23:39 |
| fry | greetings2all, me going off. byebye and thanks for the help again, northernen! | 23:39 |
| Guest50131 | ok. | 23:40 |
| Guest50131 | i'm waiting, but nothing seems to be spitting out or working. but i'll wait. | 23:40 |
| soundray | Guest50131: right now we're seeking to disprove the most likely explanation: that the downloaded file is bad for some reason. If the checksum is the same as the one shown on the download page, then it's disproved and we'll have to look for the problem elsewhere | 23:41 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 23:41 |
| soundray | Guest50131: what CPU do you have? | 23:41 |
| meio | ok just burnt the cd | 23:41 |
| meio | Im going to test via live cd | 23:41 |
| meio | Im not going to install it | 23:41 |
| meio | tired of going into partition manager ext4 and swap discs things and taking time | 23:42 |
| Guest50131 | http://www.amazon.com/Compaq-Presario-CQ56-110US-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B0040JHMZI | 23:42 |
| Guest50131 | link to my laptop | 23:42 |
| Guest50131 | is that what you mean? | 23:42 |
| FloodBot1 | Guest50131: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:42 |
| Guest50131 | oh, i'm sorry | 23:42 |
| damianos | I tried asking this in the inkscape channel but I can't seem to send a message into the room. What skills would I need to have to experiment with changing inkscape's gui? gtk? something else? | 23:43 |
| newubuntuuser | silly question and please forgive me but is there a queue for the questions? | 23:43 |
| soundray | Guest50131: no, I meant on your Mac. An md5 on a 700MB file can take quite long if it's an old CPU | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | newubuntuuser: not really | 23:43 |
| Guest50131 | oh, i have a Macbook pro ~2010 | 23:44 |
| Guest50131 | shouldn't have problems with speed | 23:44 |
| Guest50131 | would i have had to install anything before oing the md5 on terminal? | 23:44 |
| soundray | Guest50131: no | 23:44 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 23:44 |
| soundray | Guest50131: the md5 command is there, otherwise it would have complained | 23:44 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 23:45 |
| Guest50131 | hmm | 23:46 |
| Guest50131 | maybe i'll try to download the sofware | 23:46 |
| Knuxgen | switched to gnome, installed some theme, discovered that - ulike in unity - gnome can't detect my sound card | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Knuxgen: thats weird.. both use Pulse Audio... | 23:46 |
| newubuntuuser | I believe I have an issue that is already reported as a bug, the remedy appears to be to recompile nautilus. | 23:46 |
| Josh[1] | i think thats a kernel driver problem | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | not sure how your 'installed some theme' is related Knuxgen ... | 23:46 |
| Knuxgen | Dr_Willis: i dont know if its related, either, honestly | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Knuxgen: as a test try making a new user. see if affects them | 23:47 |
| Guest50131 | if we assume that the md5 checks out, what is the next step? | 23:47 |
| jrib | newubuntuuser: you should try to ask your question (with relevant details) on a single line | 23:48 |
| soundray | Guest50131: we've been waiting 10 minutes now. Something must have gone wrong | 23:48 |
| Guest50131 | ..ok | 23:48 |
| Knuxgen | i was also trying to look for drivers with no luck | 23:48 |
| Knuxgen | lspci |grep -i VGA | 23:48 |
| Knuxgen | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [GeForce GTS 450] (rev a1) | 23:48 |
| soundray | Guest50131: please do a Ctrl-C and tell me what you get when you type ls -l ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:48 |
| Knuxgen | i'll try another user and some restart, auto-update, whatever, but just in case you know where to download such driver, i'd love to know | 23:49 |
| iam8up | how do i clear a package from being in queue of apt-get? | 23:49 |
| Guest50131 | ...no such file or directory? | 23:49 |
| Guest50131 | ls: ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso: No such file or directory | 23:50 |
| Guest50131 | oops, double paste. | 23:50 |
| pernille | hello | 23:50 |
| Guest50131 | that doesn't make any sense... it's right on the desktop? | 23:50 |
| soundray | Guest50131: weird. What do you get when you do just pwd | 23:50 |
| Guest50131 | i get /users / (my un) | 23:51 |
| Guest50131 | without the spaces | 23:51 |
| Guest50131 | my un being my username on the computer | 23:51 |
| pernille | i have a question about adobe air | 23:51 |
| Guest50131 | ugh this is frustrating | 23:51 |
| soundray | Guest50131: did you do the cd like I asked you to further up? I'll repeat: | 23:51 |
| meio | back again | 23:52 |
| Guest50131 | okay :( sorry | 23:52 |
| DanMD | Has anyone had any experience building their own kernel from the git sources? | 23:52 |
| soundray | Guest50131: so you do " cd ~/Desktop " (no quotes) | 23:52 |
| meio | DR_Willis: It doesn't work live cd 12.10 won't let me connect from shared to other computers | 23:52 |
| Guest50131 | okay just did that | 23:52 |
| Knuxgen | pernille: okay | 23:52 |
| soundray | Guest50131: pwd again? | 23:52 |
| meio | Even inputting manually my details ip etc it won't work | 23:52 |
| Guest50131 | is pwd just typing pwd? | 23:52 |
| soundray | Guest50131: yes | 23:53 |
| Guest50131 | yep, i did that. | 23:53 |
| soundray | Guest50131: what's the response? | 23:53 |
| pernille | is there an alternativ to the adobe air?, i need to use a program that use only the latest version but adobe stopped adobe air for linux :( | 23:53 |
| Guest50131 | um it's the location of my desktop | 23:53 |
| Guest50131 | won't let me type it | 23:54 |
| soundray | Guest50131: good | 23:54 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 23:54 |
| soundray | Guest50131: now try the ls -l command from earlier again. You can get it back with the arrow-up key | 23:54 |
| Guest50131 | okay its a different response this time | 23:55 |
| newubuntuuser | think someone sent me somthing a moment ago, but My irc client crashed out. so I missied iut | 23:55 |
| soundray | Guest50131: what is it? | 23:55 |
| Guest50131 | -rw-r--r--@ 1 (username) staff 728018944 Aug 24 18:32 ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:56 |
| Knuxgen | pernille: you might try to get an older AIR runtime, but Adobe pretty much killed it | 23:56 |
| Knuxgen | as it killed FLash | 23:56 |
| soundray | Guest50131: that's all good. Now do the md5 ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 23:56 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 23:56 |
| Guest50131 | okay just did it | 23:57 |
| Guest50131 | nothing has happened yet | 23:57 |
| pernille | Knuxgen i tried that but then it just keeps looping with the message that i need to update air and ask me i want to get the latest version | 23:57 |
| Guest50131 | it worked!! | 23:57 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as scottas | ||
| soundray | Guest50131: paste the checksum please | 23:57 |
| Guest50131 | 06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d | 23:58 |
| pernille | can you run adobe air application in wine? | 23:58 |
| Guest50131 | oops hold on | 23:58 |
| Guest50131 | 06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d | 23:58 |
| Guest50131 | sorry that was doubled pasted | 23:58 |
| FloodBot1 | Guest50131: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:58 |
| soundray | Guest50131: okay, that's fine (see http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS) | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | pernille: adobe had air for linux at one time.. but i think they killed it.. youmay be able to find some old downloads for it. | 23:59 |
| Guest50131 | okay so that's not teh problem then? | 23:59 |
| soundray | Guest50131: no | 23:59 |
| meio | I guess I am going to reinstall again 11.10 | 23:59 |
| Guest50131 | okay...:( | 23:59 |
