[00:00] <trism> liox_: my question was asking if you are already using apt-listchanges, in your pastebin it looks like you are
[00:00] <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
[00:01] <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?
[00:02] <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?
[00:03] <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?
[00:04] <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.
[00:05] <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..
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <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> 4.2.2.2
[00:07] <_raven> i need a software vision mixer in ubuntu 12.04 - any ideas?
[00:07] <usr13> dynesh: Can you ping 4.2.2.2?     ping -c3 4.2.2.2
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> _raven:  what does a software vision mixer do?
[00:08] <blahdeblah> Hi.  How can i disable F-keys in byobu?  Commenting out "source $BYOBU_PREFIX/share/byobu/keybindings/common" in ~/.byobu/keybindings has no effect.
[00:08] <dynesh> usr13: destination unreachable
[00:08] <usr13> dynesh: route -n    #What is the gateway IP?
[00:08] <_raven> Dr_Willis mixing video inputs and creating titles/supers
[00:09] <dynesh> usr13: 192.168.1.1
[00:09] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: this could be useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[00:09] <SkippersBoss> about what this time
[00:10] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping 8.8.8.8?   ping -c3 8.8.8.8
[00:11] <dynesh> usr13: nope
[00:11] <mindbender1> How does pkg-config interact with ubuntu packages
[00:11] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping 192.168.1.1?   ping -c3 192.168.1.1
[00:11] <TJ-> mamece2: This is a much better guide, and the recommended one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode
[00:11] <mamece2> thanks
[00:12] <mamece2> TJ-: i have an atheros one!
[00:13] <usr13> dynesh: I'm afraid we would need to know more about your friend's network in order to get your connection going.  If 192.168.1.1 is not really the gateway IP address, I don't konw what is.  What address does wlan0 show?   ifconfig wlan0
[00:13] <xperiamaniac> need to download wubi for 11.04
[00:14] <W4sp> dynesh: usr13: What is the result of the most recent ping?
[00:14] <TJ-> mamece2: I run an Ubuntu server here configured as the access point, it was quick to set up
[00:14] <xangua> xperiamaniac: need 11.04 for something¿ it will have no longer support in two months
[00:14] <xperiamaniac> dats fine
[00:15] <xperiamaniac> just wanna check how it looks and feels
[00:15] <xperiamaniac> just comparing diff versions of ubuntu
[00:15] <creftos> I've been having issues with telepathy-idle. I keep getting an error message popping up in gnome. How do I figure out what's wrong?
[00:15] <mamece2> TJ-: so you can set a wireless network and share internet? i want to have internet through my external wireless dongle and send internet to my ihpone thought the internal wifi card
[00:15] <creftos> ie. are there logs I can check?
[00:16] <usr13> dynesh: Are you still with us?
[00:16] <TJ-> mamece2: That's exactly how its used here - the server has 6 wired ethernet ports, the Wireless, and an embedded xDSL
[00:16] <soliloquy1> I am working on a GTK 3 theme. I have a background-image defined to draw the gradient (which is complicated and not easy to draw from within the engine for various reasons) that should be stretched to fill completely every button. Instead, it simply cuts off once it has filled the button; how do I change this.
[00:17] <dynesh> usr13: sorry, got a visitor...im back
[00:17] <mamece2> TJ-: do u know where can i read how to set up this laptop taht way?
[00:17] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping 192.168.1.1?   ping -c3 192.168.1.1
[00:17] <liox_> trism: q squeezing it worked thanks
[00:17] <TJ-> mamece2: Is the laptop connecting to the Internet via  wired connection?
[00:18] <mamece2> TJ-: no, via wireless external adapter
[00:18] <TJ-> mamece2: So does the laptop have *TWO* wifi adapters?
[00:18] <xperiamaniac> nyone can help? need a wubi for 11.04
[00:18] <mamece2> TJ-: yes
[00:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, you can do it then
[00:19] <dynesh> usr13: 3 packets traansmitted, 3 recieived, 0% loss
[00:19] <usr13> dynesh: Let me ask you this:  What IP information is on the computer you are using to talk to us on?  i.e. IP address, default gateway, DNS IP
[00:19] <dynesh> usr13: which means i can ping ryt?
[00:19] <TJ-> mamece2: I've uploaded my server's hostpapd.conf file for you to see. If you "sudo apt-get install hostapd" and copy/edit my config to your PC you're almost ready to go. http://iam.tj/files/
[00:20] <dynesh> this computer uses windows, ll check, wait for a sec
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: Is the computer you are on connected wirelessly?
[00:20] <TJ-> mamece2: *hostapd.conf* ... typo!
[00:20] <dynesh> no..this is a wired connection
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: ifconfig /all
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: ipconfig /all
[00:20] <usr13> sorry
[00:21] <TJ-> mamece2: You'll need to configure it for your atheros driver of course
[00:21] <mamece2> TJ-: everywhere i see a tutorial is for the following configuration: wired internet and wireless sharing interface.
[00:21] <usr13> dynesh: run cmd ; ipconfig /all
[00:21] <TJ-> mamece2: Well, think slightly laterally. All those tutorials assume you've only got ONE wifi ... what they should say is "how to configure for TWO separate interfaces"
[00:22] <notwo> how can I copy the path that I am into from nautilus explorer?
[00:22] <trism> notwo: ctrl+L
[00:22] <usr13> notwo: You can't do it with the mouse?
[00:22] <mamece2> TJ-: yeah.. my internal wifi is called eth1 (weird) and the external one is wlan0
[00:22] <TJ-> mamece2: Think of your existing wireless connection to the Internet as being the 'wired' connection in those tutorials, and it makes sense
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> nautilus hides the path-bar thang. :)
[00:22] <dynesh> it shows hell a lot of things, which one should i look for? usr13
[00:23] <usr13> dynesh: IP address, default gateway, DNS IP
[00:23] <W4sp> dynesh: I assume you can pastebin the output?
[00:23] <mamece2> TJ-:  im afraid that if i configure that way my connection I wont be able to connect to another wifi. is that true? is easy to deactivate all that config im about to do?
[00:23] <usr13> !paste | dynesh
[00:23] <abi_> http://www.gradconnection.com.au/china/crcc-asia/internships/sports-and-tourism/
[00:24] <TJ-> mamece2: Do you use the 2nd Wifi (wlan0) as a roaming connection then?
[00:25] <i7c> why would my ubuntu server be the only computer in the network whose hostname is not resolved by my router?
[00:25] <mamece2> TJ-: yes, sometimes i connect to another wireless networks
[00:25] <TJ-> mamece2: I've copied the entries you'd need in /etc/network/interfaces to my server too ... the file's called "interfaces"
[00:25] <roothorick> Gah! How do I give the alt key back to inkscape? Unity is capturing it and preventing me from selecting under objects!
[00:25] <TJ-> mamece2: Could you change your procedures so you connect to those other WiFi networks using the internal wireless?
[00:25] <trism> notwo: there used to be a button next to the breadcrumbs but it is gone, you could enable it all the time though if you wanted
[00:25] <usr13> i7c: "resolved by"  router?
[00:26] <dynesh> usr13 and W4sp: ip address- 192.168.1.3, default gateway- 192.168.1.1
[00:26] <trism> notwo: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
[00:26] <i7c> usr13: well let's say the hostname of my server is  uls. then i should be able to do  ssh uls   in my LAN
[00:26] <mamece2> TJ-:  i cant, my internal adapter doesnt have enough gain, just to connect my mobile phone
[00:26] <TJ-> i7c: because your server has a static IP allocation ?
[00:26] <usr13> dynesh: What nameserver is it using?  192.168.1.3  ?
[00:26] <W4sp> dynesh: Hmmm. Can you disconnect from all networks (wifi) ethernet and ping -c3 192.168.1.1 again?
[00:27] <usr13> W4sp: Whay would he disconnect?
[00:27] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, well then can't you swap things around so the external Wifi connects to the Internet router and roams, and you configure the internal WiFi as the AP for your phone?
[00:27] <maheanuu> Good Day to all, I am having a fit with an external drive, I went to it to copy some material that I wanted my nephew to use while he will be at the University in France, and the drive shows itself but all of the files are showing garbage for the names It seems to be an ascii code and I am not seeing why this happened
[00:27] <W4sp> dynesh: Also, do you have any other device (mobile phone) that you can connect by wifi using the same wifi settings?
[00:27] <i7c> TJ-: it doesnt. got the ip via dhcp
[00:27] <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!
[00:28] <W4sp> dynesh: Very good. Thanks a lot. We don't need the mobile phone then.
[00:28] <dynesh> my mobile phone gets connected to the wifi router
[00:28] <TJ-> i7c: What DHCP server is in use?
[00:28] <i7c> TJ-: my router is dhcp server ;)  idk what they are using exactly
[00:29] <LoOoD> Which script/program mounts the default /dev/shm on boot?
[00:29] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, thanks. That way we know we have the proper wifi settings.
[00:29] <mamece2> TJ-: im kinda lost, first i should install hostapd?
[00:29] <W4sp> dynesh: You would now re-connect back to your wireless router.
[00:29] <dynesh> W4sp: connected
[00:30] <TJ-> mamece2: make sure you have the correct drivers for the internal wifi adapter first
[00:30] <W4sp> dynesh: Grand.
[00:30] <mamece2> TJ-:  i have them, i am sure because i have use them to connect before, right?
[00:31] <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.
[00:32] <dynesh> W4sp: :)
[00:32] <W4sp> dynesh: Can you browse from your mobile through wifi not using the G3, GSM, GPRS, WAP network? Don't know how else I could put it. ;-)
[00:32] <TJ-> i7c: when you say the server's name won't resolve. How are you attempting to resolve it? what are you using?
[00:33] <dynesh> W4sp, yes i can
[00:33] <dynesh> W4sp: i just did..
[00:33] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, fine then.
[00:33] <xperiamaniac> nyone help
[00:34] <i7c> TJ-: nslookup says  " server can't find ***-uls: NXDOMAIN"
[00:34] <Euph0riaXxX> Hello all, is there a channel where someone can ask for general help with ubuntu, such as learning commands, and that sort of thing?
[00:34] <RockM> I own the Asus G75VW laptop with the nVidia GTX670m.  The standard install disks gets stuck at nouveau and grapics mess up.  Is there GTX670m driver support and how can it be applied?
[00:34] <humbug> I have a question about which additonal driver I should install
[00:34] <mamece2> TJ-:  i have a broadcom and a realtek
[00:35] <TJ-> mamece2: Broadcom could be a pig... not sure about realtek
[00:35] <humbug> RockM have you tried the alternitive disk?
[00:35] <TJ-> i7c: Are you postfixing the local domain onto the hostname for nslookup?
[00:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  dont worry is broadcom  4312
[00:35] <RockM> I could not find it on ubuntu's www site
[00:35] <humbug> !alternitive
[00:35] <humbug> #FAil
[00:36] <TJ-> mamece2: is the Broadcom the internal device you want to use as the AP?
[00:36] <soliloquy1> hi xperia - what now?
[00:36] <trism> notwo: ask the channel
[00:36] <humbug> RockM http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[00:36] <i7c> TJ-: sry, dunno what that means, so i guess not? ;)
[00:36] <notwo> Is there anyway I can use an Interface to manage my php, apache, mysql settings like I had in wamp?
[00:36] <jrib> Euph0riaXxX: here might be okay, give us a try
[00:37] <mamece2> TJ-: broadcom is internal, realtek is the external one
[00:37] <TJ-> i7c: usually a network has a domain part and a hostname for each device. E.g. myserver.lan.mydomain.net (myserver is the hostname) so you have to lookup the hostname.domain
[00:38] <mamece2> TJ-:  im trying sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master and i get "
[00:38] <mamece2> Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[00:38] <mamece2>     SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument."
[00:38] <dynesh> W4sp and usr13: guys, do we have any solution? or some hope atleast?
[00:39] <W4sp> dynesh: Given that the machine in question has no network would you be able to add soemthing in a text file. I would pastbin something that you need to type in.
[00:39] <W4sp> dynesh: Just a few lines...
[00:39] <TJ-> mamece2: Sounds like you need additional driver firmware
[00:40] <roothorick> okay, seriously, this is preventing me from getting important things done. WHY is unity or compiz or whatever grabbing alt+click and how do I turn it off?
[00:40] <mamece2> TJ-: "things just got real bro"
[00:40] <i7c> TJ-: mhm ok, dnsdomainname -A  just shows an empty line... could that be the problem?
[00:40] <dynesh> W4sp: yeah! ll do
[00:40] <W4sp> OK, great.
[00:40] <TJ-> mamece2: From the linux wireless web-site I see that the driver you need to use for Broadcom to support AP is the "b43"
[00:41] <W4sp> dynesh: Do you have a file /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:41] <Nine_9> hey guys. is where can i get statistics on ubuntu software center? I'd like to know for example, statistics on how many copies of some softwares were sold last month.
[00:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  the realtek also has a problem, right? the message is the same from the wlan1 mode master command
[00:42] <TJ-> mamece2: Check this out, it's much more authoritative http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/modes
[00:42] <dynesh> W4sp: how should i search for it?

[00:43] <soliloquy1> *nickserv rather
[00:43] <humbug> Thanks
[00:43] <TJ-> i7c: It depends on how you've configured the local DHCP/DNS server - what domain you've told it is local
[00:44] <humbug> sd
[00:45] <Nine_9> any ideas? I could guess a number from the number of ratings, but i'd like to have precisely.
[00:45] <W4sp> dynesh: in a Terminal you would need to use the following command: 'ls -l /etc/network/interfaces' . I don't need to know what's in it, just if it's there.
[00:45] <RockM> Now downloading the alternate.    Is there support for the nVidia GTX670m yet on ubuntu?
[00:46] <mamece2> TJ-:  wow this is something sorta complex
[00:46] <dynesh> W4sp: yes it is
[00:46] <i7c> TJ-: yeh i understand. weird thing is just that it works with other computers (also ubuntu)
[00:47] <humbug> COuld anyone help me figure out why  my wifi wont connect
[00:47] <TJ-> i7c: It could be that the server isn't sending its hostname to the DHCP server
[00:48] <TJ-> i7c: Have you got any static assignments in the DHCP router?
[00:48] <mamece2> TJ-: i need to set master mode for my internal or external driver? the one in master mode is the one who would be the AP?
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: <sigh> Please can you 'sudo cp -p /etc/networks/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig' It will prompt for a password and you need to enter your own password.
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Stop. The command is 'sudo cp -p  /etc/networks/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig'
[00:48] <i7c> TJ-: no, it's all dynamically allocated
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Just a second
[00:49] <humbug> Hey Budd are you about?
[00:49] <i7c> TJ-: i think i might have found the problem
[00:50] <TJ-> mamece2: correct, so I guess that's the internal one
[00:50] <W4sp> dynesh: The command is sudo cp -p /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig'
[00:52] <W4sp> dynesh: it will prompt for a password. You need to use your own password.
[00:52] <dynesh> W4sp:i did
[00:52] <mamece2> TJ-: so the internal driver will be the one spreading wireless internet, but it will get it from the external one, right?
[00:53] <Guest58328> how can i setting nvidia in ubuntu ?
[00:53] <W4sp> dynesh: Now it's 'ls -l /etc/network/interfaces*' . That shoudl give you now two files.
[00:53] <troulouliou_dev> hi i installed lubuntu on a htpc connected to a lcd screen , with unity , gnome i have no problem but with lxde the icon size and font size are too small
[00:54] <troulouliou_dev> xrandr trick do not help because i m using an nvidia with en edid
[00:54] <TJ-> mamece2: Correct
[00:54] <i7c> TJ-: might have been an error in the resolv.conf ... thx for your help anyways!
[00:55] <dynesh> W4sp : nope
[00:55] <TJ-> mamece2: as long as the default gateway is configured correctly (as it should be automatically) packets from AP clients should be routed out on the other Wifi. what you need to be sure to do to avoid interference is to set the channel number of the AP as far away from your router's channel as possible.
[00:55] <dynesh> W4sp: yes it has 2 files
[00:56] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, we need this as a backup.
[00:56] <TJ-> mamece2: Ideally put your home router on channel 1 and then, depending on your country limits, your AP on channel 11/13/14

[01:02] <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] <designbybeck> Anyone going to LinuxCon Spain, Nov 5-7th??
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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" !
[01:05] <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!
[01:06] <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] <designbybeck> The LinuxCon Spain Hotel is booked Nov 5th-7th. Was hoping to find someone to room with!? Anyone going!?
[01:07] <Roukoswarf> if i lived in spain surely xD
[01:07] <designbybeck> Thanks Roukoswarf :P
[01:08] <Roukoswarf> anytime designbybeck :D
[01:08] <designbybeck> Got my passport and flight booked... just no place to stay at the moment!
[01:08] <TJ-> designbybeck: Where's it being hosted? I saw the emails recently but didn't look closely
[01:08] <dynesh> W4sp  192.168.1.1 is nowhere, again i have 127.0.0.1 and to its left i have lo
[01:09] <designbybeck> Bacelona, Spain TJ-
[01:09] <TJ-> designbybeck: thanks
[01:09] <designbybeck> at the Fira Palace Hotel
[01:09] <W4sp> dynesh: Are you still able to ping 192.168.1.1?
[01:09] <designbybeck> Mark Shuttleworth is one of the Keynotes!!
[01:10] <jagginess> lol.. like really who really uses ping 127.0.0.1 and say he has internet..
[01:10] <dynesh> W4sp: yes
[01:11] <mamece2> TJ-: done with the hostapd
[01:12] <W4sp> dynesh: And that's all? Just 'lo' and only one block of information?
[01:12] <TJ-> mamece2: Did it work?
[01:12] <Roukoswarf> jagginess: i have an internet, its a series of tubes.
[01:13] <dynesh> W4sp: no 3 blocks - eth0,lo, wlan0
[01:13] <mamece2> TJ-: well i dont know how to test it, the input is "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master" i keep getting "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master"
[01:13] <linuxieus> I seem to be having a problem with the desktop. The wallpaper does no longer show and icons + text appear vague. When right clicking and trying to change desktop background nothing happens... What could be my problem and what is the solution?
[01:14] <TJ-> mamece2: If you configure 'hostapd.conf' and 'interfaces' as in the files I uploaded for you, it should just work
[01:14] <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?
[01:15] <linuxieus> I am using Xubuntu btw.
[01:15] <jagginess> !xubuntu
[01:15] <jagginess> ^^^^
[01:15] <linuxieus> Oh... I am at the wrong address here eh? :D lol sorry!
[01:16] <TJ-> mamece2: You won't need any commands; the machine will configure itself correctly when it is started
[01:17] <W4sp> dynesh: Is there a block that has the number 192.168.1 in it, followed by another number?
[01:18] <jagginess> W4sp, ya.. it makes up the "ip address"
[01:18] <dynesh> W4sp: yes, Bcast: 192.168.1.255
[01:18] <W4sp> !rules | jagginess
[01:18] <jagginess> W4sp, ip/netmask
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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".
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <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?
[01:23] <mamece2> TJ-: so i just replace the file in that directory and then?
[01:24] <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!
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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] <mamece2> 	broadcast 192.168.10.255
[01:33] <mamece2> 	network 192.168.10.0
[01:33] <FloodBot1> mamece2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:34] <TJ-> mamece2: that looks good
[01:34] <W4sp> dynesh: You need to have a preceeding sudo in front of the command i gave you.
[01:34] <dynesh> W4sp: should i remove the text which is present and type these or should i add it along?
[01:34] <W4sp> TJ-: Thanks.
[01:34] <W4sp> dynesh: Yes, please.
[01:34] <TJ-> W4sp: FYI. when wanting to start a GUI root process we usually use "gksudo <command>" to get a GUI password prompt
[01:34] <__jpmorgan> i am having some problems trying to comppile jwz's xscreensaver 5.19 on ubuntu 12.04 lts. can anyone help? its complaining during compile about glade2.0
[01:35] <mamece2> TJ-: done, now what?
[01:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  i dont see where would I put the interface in master mode
[01:36] <TJ-> mamece2: You don't, that's what hostapd does for you
[01:36] <mamece2> TJ-: how can i activate it?
[01:36] <dynesh> W4sp: should i delete the text?
[01:36] <TJ-> mamece2: restart hostapd with "sudo service hostapd restart"
[01:37] <W4sp> dynesh: No.
[01:37] <TJ-> mamece2: and check /var/log/syslog with the "Log file viewer" to check for error or success messages
[01:37] <mamece2> TJ-: ok log file viewer? i havent use that, explain me how please
[01:38] <TJ-> mamece2: If you're using 12.04 with Unity  open the dash and type "Log file viewer" to find it
[01:38] <mamece2> TJ-:  its blank
[01:39] <TJ-> mamece2: should be installed by default :s
[01:39] <mamece2> TJ-:  it is , butwhen i opened it its blank
[01:39] <symaxian> Hows the scene with 12.04 on a macbook pro?(7,1)
[01:39] <dynesh> W4sp: sorry, but im not getting it right...i typed the command(with sudo) and it doesnt open any text sheet, should i type what u sent in the terminal?
[01:39] <TJ-> mamece2: LOL ok... thought you meant dash was blank. Use File > Open and choose /var/log/syslog
[01:40] <mamece2> TJ-: the file /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf its in blank too
[01:40] <TJ-> mamece2: How did you copy/edit my example to your system?
[01:40] <mamece2> sudo gedit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[01:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  sudo gedit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[01:41] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I just had openoffice go crash on me, and now it won't start again. It gives the error "due to an unexpected error openoffice has crashed" and then something about document recovery etc. However, this error come up imediatly. This happens on both writer and calc. Where can I look for more information. Does anyone know what would cause this?
[01:41] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, that should do it, assuming you saved it
[01:42] <mamece2> TJ-: i mean, the file doesnt exist right now
[01:42] <TJ-> mamece2: If you save it using gedit it should do
[01:42] <W4sp> dynesh: No, please don't. Can you type in (all in one line) 'gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces ?'. Once it has opened you need to type in the text from pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163676/. Do not enter the line numbers please.
[01:42] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, done, now i will restart service
[01:43] <TJ-> mamece2: OK ... good luck!
[01:43] <dynesh> W4sp: thanks for clarifying
[01:43] <mamece2> TJ-: mmm done, aparently nothing happened
[01:43] <W4sp> dynesh: When you've done that you need to save the file.
[01:43] <TJ-> mamece2: how do you test it?
[01:44] <mamece2> TJ-:  i just type sudo service hostapd restart
[01:44] <wavm> hi guys, what is a good telnet/ssh terminal for ubuntu?
[01:44] <mamece2> TJ-:  nothing new in the syslog
[01:44] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... using that log file viewer, open the file /var/log/hostapd.log  and look for details
[01:45] <mamece2> TJ-: the same in "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master
[01:45] <mamece2> Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[01:45] <mamece2>     SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument."
[01:45] <dynesh> W4sp: saved
[01:45] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... so we can work on that. That's the same error you got trying to use "iwconfig" so it's likely a driver error
[01:46] <TJ-> mamece2: I need you to pastebin me the output of "lspci -nn"
[01:46] <root__> hello
[01:46] <TJ-> mamece2: and also "lsusb"
[01:46] <KM0201> !rootirc | Erealz
[01:47] <mamece2> TJ-:  theres no  /var/log/hostapd.log
[01:47] <Erealz> what can happen
[01:48] <dynesh> W4sp: u there?
[01:48] <mamece2> lsusb
[01:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Fine. Let's exit the editor and we need our terminal again. The command is 'sudo cp -p /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.new'
[01:48] <agentgasmask> I'm looking for the openoffice.org channel
[01:48] <Erealz> hey those anyone run spotify for linux
[01:48] <Erealz> ifso have they fixed that last bug the crashes it
[01:48] <mamece2> .o/
[01:49] <TJ-> mamece2: If you've configured the /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf correctly it should start and log something at least. You have installed hostapd haven't you ("sudo apt-get install hostapd") ?
[01:50] <mamece2> TJ-: yes
[01:50] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/RT8id2uN
[01:50] <dynesh> w4sp: done
[01:50] <TJ-> mamece2: thanks
[01:50] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, one second.
[01:51] <Erealz> this
[01:52] <TJ-> mamece2: And pastebin the output of "iwconfig"
[01:52] <mamece2> TJ-: the folder was created for hostapd
[01:52] <TJ-> mamece2: This is what mine shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163701/
[01:52] <sgehrman> test
[01:53] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/a37JdR08
[01:54] <agentgasmask> Hey guys. If I do an apt-get --reinstall install openoffice* will I loose my config settings?
[01:54] <mamece2> TJ-: you cant be the AP and get the internet int he same interface, right?
[01:54] <agentgasmask> Also, if that does break somethings, can I go back?
[01:54] <TJ-> mamece2: and you've specified "eth1" in both /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf  ?
[01:54] <TJ-> mamece2: correct... well it is technically possibly but hell to do!
[01:55] <wwwolf> agentgasmask: No, I think your personal oo.org settings should be safe in your home directory
[01:55] <TJ-> mamece2: I think the issue here is the BCM driver.
[01:57] <TJ-> mamece2: can you pastebin the output of "sudo lspci -vvvnn -s 04:00.0"
[01:58] <W4sp> dynesh: Now 'sudo ifdown wlan0' This may tell you the interfaceis not configured. Next is 'sudo ifup wlan0'
[01:58] <MACscr> Looking for opinions for a home backup/media server. Got 4 x 2TB hard drives. mdraid 5 or 10? Also, XFS, JFS, or EXT4?
[01:59] <lwizardl> when adding a ppa to my system. when i see  "signing key"  1024R/816950D8 "fingerprint" 43D3A9F60C58A7169778E6FB8771ADB0816950D8 how do i add those keys
[01:59] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/krEY3Tpi
[01:59] <dynesh> W4sp: done
[01:59] <mamece2> TJ-: whatis the interface that i need to set in interfaces and in hostadp?
[01:59] <TJ-> mamece2: that shows the driver is "wl" ... we need to check that
[01:59] <TJ-> mamece2: it's "eth1" currently
[02:00] <W4sp> dynesh: Are both commands done?
[02:00] <dynesh> W4sp...yes
[02:01] <W4sp> dynesh: Fine. Let's do 1. 'ping -c 2 192.168.1.1' and 2. 'ping -c 2 8.8.8.8'
[02:01] <mamece2> TJ-: what can i do about this wl driver?
[02:02] <TJ-> mamece2: I'm researching it now
[02:02] <mamece2> TJ-: should i put in the config file of hostapd the wl drive?
[02:02] <khole> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 onto my netbook. LiveUSB worked fine, but installation won't start. Just get black screen. (Same for Lubuntu).
[02:02] <dynesh> W4sp:
[02:02] <khole> Anything I can do to troubleshoot?
[02:03] <W4sp> dynesh: Go ahead.
[02:03] <Gnea> khole: did you install the netbook remix?
[02:03] <khole> Gnea: no
[02:03] <Gnea> khole: well the netbook remix is for netbooks
[02:03] <dynesh> W4sp: i pinged 192.168.1.1, it got pinged but 8.8.8.8 didnt
[02:03] <khole> Gnea: standard desktop. I didn't know a netbook remix existed anymore.
[02:04] <wilee-nilee> It doesn't
[02:04] <TJ-> mamece2: no don't change anything
[02:04] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, can you ping 192.168.1.99?
[02:04] <TJ-> mamece2: The "wl" driver doesn't support master mode
[02:04] <khole> Yeah, that's what I thought. The desktop version (now the only version) should work fine. But it won
[02:04] <khole> twon
[02:04] <dynesh> W4sp: successful
[02:05] <TJ-> mamece2: You need to install the "b43" driver. I'm reading that you need to do "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer" from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[02:05] <khole> gah! typo. It won't star. I just get a blank screen. (Even though the Live desktop worked fine)
[02:05] <Gnea> khole: ah, I see, they merged it at 11.04 because of unity
[02:06] <khole> Gnea: yep
[02:06] <Gnea> I hate unity.
[02:06] <khole> Gnea: beside the point. :p
[02:06] <khole> I can't even get to a login screen
[02:06] <W4sp> dynesh: Please can you execute from terminal 'sudo tracepath 8.8.8.8'?
[02:06] <khole> or loading screen for that matter
[02:06] <Gnea> khole: maybe it's not initializing the video driver correctly
[02:07] <Gnea> khole: can you get it to login through a console?
[02:07] <mamece2> TJ-: you mean sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[02:07] <dynesh> W4sp: yes
[02:07] <dynesh> W4sp: done
[02:07] <W4sp> dynesh: It may take some time until it finishes.
[02:07] <khole> Gnea: yeah, I'm suspecting driver issues. Umm, can you explain what you mean by 'login through a console'?
[02:08] <W4sp> dynesh: What do you mean by done? Are you back at the prompt?
[02:08] <Gnea> khole: sure, when it's done booting up and "should" give you a login screen, press ctrl-alt-f1
[02:08] <dynesh> W4sp: its listing something...i ll wait for it to finish
[02:08] <khole> Gnea: Ah, I'm not seeing anything after BIOS. :(
[02:08] <Gnea> khole: do you  have an HDD led that blinks when it's booting up?
[02:09] <khole> Gnea: brb
[02:09] <Gnea> k
[02:09] <dynesh> im back in the prompt W4sp
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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?
[02:12] <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?
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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"
[02:15] <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"
[02:16] <mamece2> TJ-: 	Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
[02:16] <TJ-> mamece2: sounds good
[02:16] <TJ-> mamece2: check the interfaces with "iwconfig"
[02:17] <mamece2> now there wlan1 and wlan0
[02:17] <W4sp> dynesh: Unable to get over the gateway. That's odd.
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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
[02:19] <mamece2> TJ-: the command mode master shouldnt get a error message back
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <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?
[02:22] <TJ-> mamece2: yes
[02:22] <khole> Gnea: thanks for your help, I'm going to have to work on this later. I'll try your last suggestion, and get back to the channel later on.
[02:22] <mamece2> TJ-: when i click in the upper corner icon, the broadcome says device not ready , firmware missing
[02:23] <willy> XD
[02:23] <mamece2> TJ-: should i change the driver=nl80211 line?
[02:23] <TJ-> mamece2: No
[02:23] <TJ-> mamece2: The message about the firmware is the clue.
[02:24] <mamece2> TJ-: ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured
[02:24] <TJ-> mamece2: that means the " firmware-b43-installer" hasn't done its job, or else the firmware hasn't been uploaded to the device
[02:24] <TJ-> mamece2: that's fine
[02:25] <TJ-> mamece2: check the firmware files. pastebin me the directory listing "ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm/"
[02:26] <notwo> how can I get a nice preview of an image, in nautilus explorer? show I use some other more advanced explorer ?

[02:27] <bazhang> notwo, dont repeat so quickly
[02:27] <mamece2> TJ-: its something bad with the driver? how can i erase it and dl again?
[02:27] <TJ-> mamece2: No it isn't, wait!

[02:30] <ironfoot> HI; I've got trouble no matter what I do I cannot remove or purge phpmyadmin does anyone know a way to remove and reinstall phpmyadmin?
[02:30] <TJ-> mamece2: remove the one you just installed "sudo apt-get --purge remove firmware-b43-installer" and then install the low-power version "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer"
[02:31] <mamece2> TJ-: downloading
[02:33] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, done...
[02:33] <W4sp> dynesh: Are you still there?
[02:33] <mamece2> TJ-: broadcom is back online, the "local" (ssid) is connected again
[02:34] <mamece2> TJ-: mode master command reply with an error still
[02:35] <TJ-> mamece2: does that interface report missing firmware now?
[02:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  no
[02:35] <TJ-> mamece2: use log file viewer, look in /var/log/kern.log ... see if you see a recent message saying it's loading firmware
[02:36] <OneUp03> Does anyone know how to make courier regenerate config files?

[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: Yay!
[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: ok, try restarting hostapd again
[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: then look at the hostapd log file if its there
[02:37] <mamece2> TJ-: ok , done, nothing happened
[02:38] <Riberty> is ubuntu 10.10 still supported?
[02:38] <TJ-> mamece2: no log entries?
[02:38] <mamece2> TJ-: theres no log
[02:39] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, that means there's something wrong with your config. Check in /var/log/syslog for any clues about it failing to start
[02:39] <xangua> Riberty: no
[02:40] <mamece2> TJ-: NetworkManager[873]: <error> [1345775755.125846] [nm-device-wifi.c:1865] nm_device_wifi_set_mode(): (wlan0): error setting mode 2
[02:41] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... let me research that
[02:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  this might help http://pastebin.com/v3AgAf0B
[02:43] <TJ-> mamece2: ahh! network manager needs to be told to not manage wlan0! you have to restart it. It'll ignore any interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces.
[02:43] <silverghost> linuxieus: hi
[02:43] <jgornick> Hey guys, running 12.04 64bit. Why isn't add-apt-repository available anymore?
[02:43] <TJ-> mamece2: try this "sudo service network-manager restart" then "sudo service hostapd restart"
[02:44] <jgornick> I'm trying to install the JRE 64bit version.
[02:45] <TJ-> jgornick: "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre"
[02:45] <jgornick> TJ-: will that be 64bit version as well?
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <silverghost> linuxieus: stay away from these buntus these are stupid distros made by noob devs horribly buggy try fedora opensuse they are much better solusos.com give it a try u won't regret eh
[02:46] <TJ-> jgornick: ahh, they both are!
[02:47] <jgornick> hmmm
[02:47] <jgornick> The packages I see being downloaded when I install that is i386.
[02:48] <jgornick> TJ-: https://skitch.com/jgornick/eqqa2/mediamanager-deeadmin-deebeo-jira-ssh-256x60
[02:48] <TJ-> jgornick: Yes, I checked here using "apt-cache show <package-name>"
[02:49] <jgornick> TJ-: Good to know that's how to check :)
[02:49] <ki4ro_> riberty: Have a look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_10.10_.28Maverick_Meerkat.29
[02:50] <jgornick> TJ-: Any thoughts on how to get 64bit version?
[02:50] <TJ-> jgornick: Strange, I'm not sure why we don't have a 64-bit build, unless it was all the problems with type sizes
[02:51] <mamece2> TJ-: sudo service hostapd restart doesnt seem to do nothign,. nothigns added to the syslog log
[02:51] <mamece2> TJ-: now broadcom appears like device not managed
[02:52] <TJ-> mamece2: you didn't accidentally mistype it's config file name did you? I've done that before and wasted hours! :p
[02:52] <TJ-> mamece2: "not managed" is what you want. Don't want network-manager touching it
[02:52]  * linuxieus is away: I'm busy
[02:53] <jgornick> TJ-: So, what happened to add-apt-repository in 12.04? There's a PPA that has the 64bit version of Java.
[02:53] <mamece2> TJ-:  let me check
[02:54] <TJ-> jgornick: The 64 bit amd64 packages are in the archives according to the file lists at http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/openjdk-6-jre-headless
[02:54] <TJ-> jgornick: and "add-apt-repository" is still there
[02:55] <mamece2> TJ-: the file is in the directory /etc/hostapd and it has the following http://pastebin.com/Aj0LPgC4
[02:55] <jgornick> TJ-: I needed to install sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
[02:55] <jgornick> TJ-: I'm running the minimal install version.
[02:55] <jgornick> :)
[02:55] <TJ-> jgornick: ahh yes! I got caught by that last week installing to a usb stick
[02:55] <natsirt> hi
[02:56] <WeThePeople> hi
[02:56] <TJ-> mamece2: your file looks good. We need therefore to find out why hostapd doesn't seem to be logging. lets find out if its in memory
[02:56] <mamece2> TJ-:  shoudl i reinstall
[02:57] <TJ-> mamece2: do this "ps -ef | grep hostapd" and you should see a line similar to this: "root      4224     1  0 Aug20 ?        00:00:03 /usr/sbin/hostapd -B -P /var/run/hostapd.pid /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[02:57] <mamece2> TJ-:  why in iwconfig wlan0 is in managed mode?
[02:57] <natsirt> can anyone se me
[02:57] <TJ-> mamece2: that's the default mode until something changes it
[02:58] <mamece2> TJ-: mike     13237  4450  0 22:27 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto hostapd
[02:58] <cfhowlett> natsirt: yes we c u
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: ok... hostapd isn't starting then
[02:58] <W4sp> natsirt: You can be seen.
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: that explains alot!
[02:58] <mamece2> TJ-: why not?
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: do this and pastebin me the results: "sudo service hostapd start"
[02:59] <mamece2> TJ-: doesnt give something back
[02:59] <TJ-> mamece2: really? not even an error message?
[03:00] <natsirt> I have issue sloggin into other channels
[03:00] <TJ-> jgornick: The archives definitely have the amd64 builds: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/
[03:00] <mamece2> TJ-: nope. thats why i think it does nothing
[03:01] <TJ-> mamece2: the service command always reports any failure. that's where the problem is I think.
[03:01] <TJ-> mamece2: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163749/
[03:02] <noobie|2> How do I change the location of the close/max/min buttons?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> !buttons
[03:03] <TJ-> mamece2: Let's try the alternative method of controlling services. do "sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd start"
[03:03] <mamece2> TJ-: should I reinstall?
[03:03] <jgornick> TJ-: How do I tell apt to use the archives repository?
[03:04] <mamece2> TJ-: the same: nothing
[03:04] <TJ-> jgornick: It already knows via /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:04] <jgornick> hmmm
[03:04] <TJ-> mamece2: OK ... pastebin me this file "cat /etc/default/hostapd"
[03:05] <jgornick> TJ-: I need to uncomment deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted right?
[03:05] <TJ-> jgornick: sure.. but it ought to be available by default
[03:05] <TJ-> jgornick: I've tried to get the 64-bit package here by postfixing :amd64 to the package name but it's not found
[03:05] <jgornick> TJ-: Question then, how do I tell it to install the 64bit version?
[03:06] <TJ-> jgornick: seems like something deliberate stopping it
[03:06] <jgornick> Meh :(
[03:06] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/tgYCTWtW
[03:07] <SushiDude> Hello, as we all know Ubuntu 12.04.1 was released today but I am not seeing the option to upgrade from the upgrade manager. I am currently on 12.04.
[03:07] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you would only see regular updates
[03:08] <TJ-> jgornick: Actually, despite what those tools say, what is actually installed on my system *is* the 64-bit: here's some of the output of "dpkg-query -L openjdk-6-jre"  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so
[03:08] <trism> SushiDude: lsb_release -a; for fun
[03:08] <TJ-> mamece2: HAHAHA slap me!
[03:08] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, why is that so?
[03:08] <TJ-> mamece2: see that #DAEMON_CONF=""  and the text above it!?
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: My fault - I forgot I had to edit that... after all the time since I installed it I assumed it had that set originally!
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude`I assumes you were running 12.04 already you did not say your release.
[03:09] <mamece2> TJ-: yeah,,, uncooment it
[03:09] <SushiDude> hmm
[03:09] <mamece2> TJ-: i read it too jeje
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: so, "gksudo gedit /etc/default/hostapd" and edit that line, remove the leading "#" and insert the name of the config file "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:09] <jgornick> TJ-: Mine is not showing that :|
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you running 10.04?
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: Save it then finally START the service!
[03:10] <jgornick> TJ-: Do you know what you may have done to do that?
[03:10] <jgornick> TJ-: "that" meaning get the 64bit version installed.
[03:10] <SushiDude> trism, http://pastebin.com/8h3TGm6H
[03:10] <TJ-> mamece2: This is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163759/
[03:10] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, no 12.04
[03:10] <trism> SushiDude: yes, as you see you are already on 12.04.1 (point releases aren't special, they are just normal updates)
[03:10] <kiran__> how to install ubuntu on hp tablet
[03:10] <rublind> is it possible to do a "do-release-upgrade" without using tmp?
[03:11] <mamece2> TJ-:  * Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management hostapd                      [fail]
[03:11] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, and as you see from your pastebin you are running 12.04.1
[03:12] <cfhowlett> !arm|kiran__:
[03:12] <mamece2> TJ-: the text is like this DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:12] <kiran__> thanks ubottu
[03:12] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, I don't remember ever updating to 12.04.1 though
[03:12] <TJ-> mamece2: That's correct
[03:13] <mamece2> TJ-: it fails :/
[03:13] <TJ-> mamece2: Did it try to start?
[03:13] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you don't have to the regular updates when running a LTS take you there
[03:13] <TJ-> mamece2: if so, check the log :D
[03:13] <trism> SushiDude: 12.04.1 is just 12.04, lts has addition updated iso releases, which is really all the .1, .2 are
[03:13] <rublind> I can't seem to remount /tmp to have exec instead of noexec, so I can't upgrade my dist, can anyone suggest an alternative solution?
[03:14] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, You would only see a upgrade if you were running 10.04
[03:14] <jgornick> TJ-: You were saying earlier that you were able to specify the :amd64 architecture when installing from apt. What's the syntax to force an architecture?
[03:15] <SushiDude> okay, I understand, thank you for clarifying that.
[03:15] <DrManhattan> I'm having some issues with vlc
[03:15] <DrManhattan> [0x22f6208] inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-DQWpAYcnvM: Connection refused
[03:15] <TJ-> jgornick: postfix :<arch> but I tried that; it don't like it. Even the package pre-depends says multiarch which infers the 64-bit system runs a 32-bit package
[03:15] <DrManhattan> how do I fix this dbus error
[03:15] <DrManhattan> and vlc is also trying to use ALSA
[03:16] <mamece2> TJ-: still no log for hostapd
[03:16] <TJ-> mamece2: did the service start say "failed"
[03:16] <mamece2> TJ-:  yes
[03:18] <DrManhattan> It keeps saying "Cannot open the MRL alsa://"
[03:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, check /var/log/syslog it may say why
[03:18] <mamece2> TJ-:  it doesnt add a new line when i try to restart
[03:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, let me check on mine for anything different
[03:19] <roothorick> Is ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/bb.fts.index/iamchert supposed to be unreadable regardless of on-disk permissions?
[03:19] <TJ-> mamece2: I wonder about the "+" at then end of your spa_passphrase. Try without it
[03:19] <mamece2> TJ-: its part of the password
[03:19] <TJ-> mamece2: That's in hostapd.conf
[03:20] <TJ-> mamece2: I know... but I'm looking for anything that might cause hostapd to barf
[03:20] <jgornick> TJ-: I just downloaded the amd64 deb found http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/openjdk-7-jre/download … When I used dpkg to install sudo dpkg -i openjdk-7-jre_7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb, I got this: package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)  … However, when I call arch, it returns i686. Thoughts?
[03:20] <TJ-> jgornick: err, you're on a 32-bit system!
[03:21] <TJ-> jgornick: "uname -a"

[03:21] <jgornick> FML
[03:21] <TJ-> jgornick: got to the back of the class :D
[03:21] <mamece2> TJ-: i thought its gonna be that but it failed too. still it addded some line to the log
[03:22] <alien64> when will the new update to 12.04 roll out to Update Manager ?
[03:22] <TJ-> mamece2: it did? what was it?
[03:22] <xangua> alien64: if you install updates you already have it...
[03:22] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/HC1GaFdJ
[03:23] <KM0201> alien64: it also depend on your settings in update manager.
[03:23] <zykotick9> alien64: are you running 10.04?  if it's 12.04, just update...
[03:23] <xangua> zykotick9: i believe he means 12.04.1
[03:24] <zykotick9> xangua: i agree
[03:24] <KM0201> oh ok... i thought 10.04>12.04 was not supported yet
[03:24] <zykotick9> alien64: "lsb_release -a" to verify
[03:24] <zykotick9> KM0201: should be - it was just waiting for the point release...
[03:25] <cfhowlett> KM0201: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported
[03:25] <KM0201> zykotick9: ah ok, i didn't realize i'd hit .1
[03:25] <KM0201> cfhowlett: i know that... i didn't realize 12.04 had hit 12.04.1 yet
[03:25] <KM0201> because prior to 12.04.1, it wasn't recommended upgrading from 10.04
[03:25] <alien64> xangua: its still 12.04 LTS in details shouldnt it be 12.04.1 or something?
[03:26] <mamece2> TJ-:  i dont understand what happened
[03:26] <zykotick9> alien64: check "Release" line of "lsb_release -a"
[03:27] <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'  "
[03:28] <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?
[03:29] <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...
[03:30] <|Anthony|> zykotick9, this explains it http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/discussion/general/thread/b3af65f8/
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <|Anthony|> folks ought to get a chuckle out of my situation honestly
[03:31] <mamece2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163778/
[03:31] <|Anthony|> sucks for me... funny for everyone else
[03:31] <|Anthony|> :/
[03:31] <TJ-> mamece2: Another YATY - AP mode is on that list
[03:32] <mamece2> TJ-: what do u mean?
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <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
[03:37] <mamece2> TJ-: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[03:37] <mamece2> Could not set channel for kernel driver
[03:37] <mamece2> wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
[03:37] <mamece2> TJ-: weird
[03:37] <TJ-> mamece2: channel?
[03:37] <TJ-> mamece2: try changing it in the config to 6 and try again
[03:38] <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] <TJ-> same? or does it mention channel 6 now?
[03:39] <teamcoltra> What is mqueue?
[03:39] <mamece2> TJ-: the same message  as above
[03:39] <usr13> |Anthony|: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[03:40] <|Anthony|> usr13, i used that...
[03:40] <usr13> |Anthony|: And....?
[03:40] <|Anthony|> well, misused... which added to the issues
[03:40] <|Anthony|> usr13, http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/discussion/general/thread/b3af65f8/
[03:41] <|Anthony|> there is a response, which i am about to attempt
[03:42] <TJ-> mamece2: let's enable lots of debug info. do this: "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd -dd  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:43] <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] <mamece2> TJ-:  nice, i like that
[03:43] <mamece2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163785/
[03:43] <mamece2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163785/
[03:44] <TJ-> mamece2: mmmmm data... I'll be back :p
[03:45] <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??
[03:46] <LoneElf> It's not supported by parallels.
[03:46] <Nach0z> s/end of life/EOF
[03:46] <mamece2> TJ-: channelwight isnt a standar?
[03:47] <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] <Alex3012> anyone excited about Windows 8?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> !ot|Alex3012:
[03:48] <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.
[03:49] <TJ-> mamece2: Got it! In hostapd.conf change "ieee80211n=" from 1 to 0 ... save, and try it again
[03:50] <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
[03:52] <mamece2> TJ-: to 80200n ?
[03:52] <mamece2> TJ-: i got it
[03:52] <TJ-> mamece2: change "ieee80211n=0"
[03:52] <TJ-> mamece2: We need to *disable* 40MHz channels
[03:53] <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!
[03:54] <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?
[03:55] <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] <mamece2> TJ-: this is repeating in the log . Aug 23 23:25:26 pain-laptop kernel: [16528.204004] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
[03:55] <TJ-> mamece2: if you have a command line after Ctrl+D then kill the suspended process using "sudo kill %1"
[03:57] <mamece2> TJ-: im trying again
[03:58] <TJ-> mamece2: that NOHZ report is a known kernel bug, I'm checking on it
[03:58] <mamece2> TJ-: this is at the log pain-laptop kernel: [16646.440052] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
[04:00] <mamece2> TJ-:  it freezes at Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:23:4e:df:52:45 and ssid 'local'
[04:01] <mamece2> TJ-: now it doenst even get to the NOHZ report
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <TJ-> mamece2: usually a couple of seconds or so
[04:04] <TJ-> from now on though it'll start when the PC starts
[04:05] <bmc> So, I am having issues booting an Ubuntu live cd (black screen), and I'm pretty sure its because of my graphics card (nvidia geforce 8600 gt), can anyone help?
[04:05] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|bmc:
[04:05] <mamece2> TJ-:  but still i dont know how to set the AP
[04:05] <TJ-> mamece2: You've set it, it's working.
[04:05] <bmc> oh wow, thats a useful bot
[04:06] <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] <TJ-> mamece2: if you every change the settings in hostapd.conf all you need do is issue a "restart" to the service
[04:06] <hanslanda> does anyone know how can i install Xorg-Server-1.12.3?
[04:06] <mamece2> TJ-: how can i connect the mobile phone to the AP created?
[04:06] <bkc_> hanslanda: sudo apt-get install xorg-server ?
[04:06] <LoneElf> What does support for 802.11s look like in ubuntu?
[04:07] <TJ-> same way as you do it to any AP
[04:07] <hanslanda> bkc_, E: Unable to locate package xorg-server
[04:08] <blackshirt> hanslanda, update your database first
[04:08] <blackshirt> Xserver-xorg
[04:08] <blackshirt> Not xorg-xserver
[04:08] <mamece2> TJ-: i see it!! but i would like to see if i can have internet on my mobile phone
[04:09] <bkc_> hanslanda: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/xorg-server
[04:09] <blackshirt> yes,exactly
[04:09] <bkc_> blackshirt: xorg-server...
[04:09] <blackshirt> Owh
[04:09] <TJ-> mamece2: As I said, you'll need to configure the PC to forward packets to the internet and masquarade (NAT) them
[04:09] <blackshirt> oh, source
[04:09] <bkc_> blackshirt: don't correct someone without backing it up ;)
[04:10] <blackshirt> thank bkc
[04:10] <mamece2> TJ-:  the iphone doesnt finnish to connect to the AP
[04:10] <bkc_> hanslanda: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xorg-server
[04:10] <cfhowlett> mamece2: iphone support is not offered here.  Ubuntu only
[04:11] <mamece2> TJ-: ok but i mean my mobile phone doesnt connect to the AP ive just created in ubuntu
[04:11] <TJ-> mamece2: are you giving it the correct passphrase?
[04:11] <bkc_> mamece2: still not realated to ubuntu in any way :)
[04:11] <bkc_> related*
[04:12] <mamece2> TJ-:  yes, its in some kind of loop . hostapd: wlan0: STA 44:d8:84:0f:52:64 WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN)
[04:12] <brianp1992> hello? can anyone see me?
[04:12] <TJ-> mamece2: That's good
[04:12] <bkc_> brianp1992: yes
[04:13] <brianp1992> bkc_ can you help me with swat?
[04:13] <bkc_> with what?
[04:13] <TJ-> mamece2: Remember I had you edit the pass-phrase; did you change it back?
[04:13] <cfhowlett> brianp1992: swa*p*??
[04:13] <mamece2> TJ-: look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163803/
[04:13] <brianp1992> i have the web gui open but i cant figure out how to change settings
[04:14] <bkc_> brianp1992: I still have no idea what swat is :)
[04:14] <brianp1992> samba web admin tool
[04:14]  * cfhowlett files mental note; "SWAP" definition...
[04:15] <brianp1992> i have looked all over the web for some thing to tell me how to use it, but to no avail
[04:15] <TJ-> mamece2: That looks the same as my AP
[04:15] <brianp1992> hoped someone here could walk me thro it
[04:15] <afflicto> When I do CTRL+ALT+F2 how can I restart my GUI (i'm using gnome) ?
[04:15] <cfhowlett> brianp1992: that would appear to a server type application.  Perhaps the folks in #ubuntu-server might know???
[04:15] <bkc_> brianp1992: tried this one? http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html
[04:16] <OY1R> try startx
[04:16] <mamece2> TJ-: ok,, what if i want to deactivate the AP?}
[04:16] <brianp1992> yes
[04:16] <OY1R> afflicto, startx
[04:16] <afflicto> ok thanks
[04:16] <bkc_> brianp1992: well... what works or doesn't work?
[04:16] <wilee-nilee> brianp1992, you might also try #samba or #samba-technical
[04:16] <TJ-> mamece2: Stop the service
[04:16] <brianp1992> i got thro all that and i have it setup but i can figure it out
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <bkc_> to get the PID...
[04:19] <b3rz3rk3r_> first one should work fine though and its easier to remember
[04:19] <bkc_> indeed
[04:19] <brianp1992> i guess theres no one at #samba
[04:20] <mamece2> TJ-: ok thanks very much! i need to sleep, tomorrow i will ask and learn more
[04:20] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, probably all editing their samba .conf's
[04:20] <TJ-> mamece2: Well done :)
[04:20] <brianp1992> hahaha good poin
[04:20] <brianp1992> point
[04:22] <brianp1992> #ubuntu-server is dead too.. :/
[04:23] <bkc_> brianp1992: probably they're sleeping... ask, and wait :)
[04:23] <brianp1992> lol ok
[04:23] <brianp1992> !info xdm
[04:25] <b3rz3rk3r_> what do you need help with brianp1992 ?
[04:26] <brianp1992> i need to setup a file share accessable from any other pc on my network
[04:26] <brianp1992> i have samba and swat
[04:27] <brianp1992> !info swat
[04:27] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, does it require security?
[04:28] <brianp1992> no none at all if possible
[04:28] <brianp1992> it just needs to be easy
[04:28] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you dont need to mess with swat then, just right click the folders you want to share
[04:29] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, oh unless this is a server?
[04:29] <brianp1992> its a drive i want to share
[04:29] <brianp1992> its /media/share
[04:29] <brianp1992> ehh its a server but i have an older verson of gnome on it for a gui
[04:29] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, is the drive mounted on boot?
[04:29] <afflicto> Where in the file system are applications install? I'm trying to find skype
[04:30] <bkc_> afflicto: which skype
[04:30] <flatlined_at_daw> can any one direct me to a ubuntu channel that will have info about wireless nic issues::
[04:30] <bkc_> (it's a command)
[04:30] <b3rz3rk3r_> afflicto, try Internet section
[04:30] <brianp1992> not shure but if it needs to be i can edit fstab
[04:30] <interlude> I can't seem to get colours working for the ls command when logging in through SSH to my system. I've tried editing the .bashrc file and changing --color=auto to --color but that didn't' seem to help. Any ideas?
[04:30] <bkc_> flatlined_at_daw: shoot
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you can just place everything in the root of the drive into a "share" folder and share that
[04:31] <sergio> hello
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, that would be the easiest way by far
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, then you dont have to mess with anything in swat and it will just work out the box
[04:31] <Adran> How does one startup the DHCPd daemon on ubuntu? I cannot find a service named it in either init.d or service
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: sudo apt-get install dhcpd
[04:32] <brianp1992> b3rz3rk3r_ ok ill make a folder there, how do i share it?
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: or sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
[04:32] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, right click, share this folder
[04:32] <Adran> dhcpd3-server isn't good?
[04:32] <flatlined_at_daw> bcm-4311 - i can get it to work though upgrading past 10.10 but new 12.10 install fails to activation its propitiatory driver
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: that works to
[04:33] <Adran> bkc_: But how do you install it?
[04:33] <Adran> s/install/run it/
[04:33] <natsirt> How to open terminal in linux?
[04:33] <cfhowlett> @ubuntu+1|flatlined_at_daw:
[04:33] <Adran> natsirt: gnome-terminal?
[04:33] <bkc_> Adran: sudo service start dhcpd
[04:33] <cfhowlett> #ubuntu+1|flatlined_at_daw:
[04:33] <TJ-> brianp1992: I'm logged into SWAT now - what are you trying to do?
[04:34] <Adran> bkc_: gives me unrecognized service.
[04:34] <bkc_> Adran: swap place on start and dhcpd
[04:34] <brianp1992> it just needs to be acessable from a winXP/win7  CP
[04:34] <brianp1992> and prefarably with out passwords
[04:34] <Adran> still nothing, bkc_
[04:34] <Adran> if I type `dhcpd` the daemon is there.
[04:35] <bkc_> Adran: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, if you have samba installed it will be. I'm pretty sure ubuntu has had it since about 10.04 as standard
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, if it needs anything else it will prompt you
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, did you find "share this folder" ?
[04:36] <brianp1992> no its not in the list
[04:36] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, what version are you running>?
[04:37] <brianp1992> the latest but therewas no gui becausevits a ser ver
[04:37] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you said you had a gui running earlier... so you dont have one?
[04:37] <Adran> bkc_: except the files such as /etc/default/dhcp3-server don't exist. thats why I asked here in the first place.
[04:38] <brianp1992> i installed an older gnome for a gui
[04:38] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, it would be easiest to just put the shares into your samba.conf if you dont have a gui then
[04:38] <brianp1992> i have the webgui for swat tho
[04:39] <brianp1992> brb rebooting
[04:39] <flatlined_at_daw> noone home @ +1
[04:40] <ryty> okay I'm having some trouble with my logitech bluetooth dongle
[04:40] <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?
[04:41]  * b3rz3rk3r_ stabs ryty's dongle
[04:41] <b3rz3rk3r_> done
[04:41] <ryty> har
[04:42] <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
[04:44] <brianp1992__> i made a folder but theres no optiobn to share it
[04:44] <ryty> pastebin with lsusb and cat /etc/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hci.rules
[04:44] <ryty> http://pastebin.com/yX95KYaJ
[04:45] <KM0201> brianp1992__: what are you trying to share?
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <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
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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] <alien64> whats the off topic ubuntu channel?
[04:52] <KM0201> !ot
[04:53] <alien64> ty
[04:53] <Portaljacker> i'm very lost with what i have to do :(
[04:54] <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 ?
[04:55] <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?
[04:56] <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?
[04:57] <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
[04:58] <brianp1992__> im testing it now
[04:59] <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 :)
[05:00] <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

[05:01] <Portaljacker> would that mean adding my user to the www-data group give me write access?

[05:01] <ryty> anyone had a chance to take a look at my issue above?
[05:02] <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

[05:12] <Guerillero> is there a way to add an SD card with a USB version of ubuntu to windows 7's bootloader
[05:18] <mik_> wilee-nilee, are you still available answer some questions about my USB install?
[05:18] <wilee-nilee> mik_, sure
[05:20] <DrManhattan> I'm having a little bit of an issue with my /dev/video devices being swapped around when I reboot
[05:21] <afflicto> I'm running ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Shell (not unity) How do I install this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Grebiance+Modified?content=153556
[05:22] <afflicto> It seems I need some GKT3 thing and a Gnome Shell thing?
[05:22] <ForSpareParts> Could you guys recommend a good torrent client on Ubuntu that has RSS support I can manage from a web interface?
[05:23] <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] <Joe1> i need help installing vmware
[05:27] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: there really isnt one imho
[05:27] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: deluge is decent though
[05:28] <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
[05:29] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: rtorrent then
[05:29] <MACscr> and flexget
[05:29] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: I'm reading up on that right now, actually. Sounds hellishly complicated, but probably exactly what I'm looking for.
[05:30] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: i gave up and switched to usenet. much better
[05:30] <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*
[05:31] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: How much are you paying for Usenet access, though?
[05:32] <zjhui1> hi , can i transfer info document into PDF ?
[05:32] <MACscr> $10 a month, though if i wasnt to lazy to switch i could do it for $7. Completely worth it
[05:32] <ForSpareParts> hm
[05:32] <mik_> wilee-nilee, thanks. It's not an issue of too many things running. Slowdown happens with everything. 'USB 2.0' drive in a USB 3.0 port. Not seeing anything like vm. swappiness in sysctl.conf
[05:33] <mik_> wilee-nilee, #
[05:33] <mik_> # /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables
[05:33] <mik_> # See /etc/sysctl.d/ for additional system variables
[05:33] <mik_> # See sysctl.conf (5) for information.
[05:33] <mik_> #
[05:33] <mik_> #kernel.domainname = example.com
[05:33] <FloodBot1> mik_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:34] <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.
[05:35] <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
[05:37] <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.
[05:38] <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?
[05:39] <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?
[05:41] <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?
[05:43] <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.

[05:44] <mib_127ay0> how can i fix it?
[05:44] <mib_127ay0> help me, please

[05:45] <mib_127ay0> it only show network error on empathy :-?
[05:46] <wilee-nilee> mib_127ay0, I can't really help you I'm sure, but those that can need to know that error.
[05:46] <wilee-nilee> if possible.
[05:46] <mib_127ay0> i can take a screenshot
[05:46] <mib_127ay0> because there is nothing to copy in pastebin
[05:47] <wilee-nilee> mib_127ay0, cool have that ready and post it in a imagebin as of now.

[05:48] <mib_127ay0> here is my screen
[05:49] <mib_127ay0> if i add another account, it will have the same error
[05:49] <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
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <mib_127ay0> hi, somebody help me, please :-(, http://imagebin.org/225680
[05:55] <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?
[05:56] <mib_127ay0> @wilee-nilee: can you help me :-(
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <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.
[06:00] <mik_> wilee-nilee, k. I'll see if i can figure that out. Somewhat familiar with the program. Shouldn't be all too tough.
[06:07] <wilee-nilee> mik_, I'm back.
[06:09] <mik_> wilee-nilee, k, thanks. Won't run the commands for a few
[06:11] <wilee-nilee> mik_, in 12.04 thw startup applications is empty in spite of stuff start up if you run this command it will fill it and you can turn off what you don't need as well. sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

[06:23] <Mikness> wilee-nilee, back. It's muuuuch faster running on the 8GB ISO drive, without install. I started gparted, but I'm not sure how much I need to allocate. 3.88/15.23 used (11.35 free). Thoughts?
[06:25] <ph00rk> !ops
[06:25] <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?
[06:26] <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.
[06:27] <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.
[06:28] <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
[06:30] <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?
[06:32] <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.
[06:33] <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 --
[06:34] <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. Also thought it'd be good to have an os laying around just in case. I'm not even sure what's exactly wrong with the SSD. That's the next thing I wanted to ask you guys (tomorrow)

[06:38] <Blue1> ryan_: sadly running ubuntu 10.04 and debian squeeze here -- no 12.04 - maybe someone else can help?
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <Blue1> Mikness: I also did some testing with ext4 fs -- and noticed no significant slowing.
[06:41] <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] <wilee-nilee> Mikness, cool. ;)
[06:42] <Blue1> Mikness: that works as well.

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?

[07:48] <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] <FloodBot1> zamn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:49] <llutz_> zamn: do you have more than one linux/grub installation on the system? are you sure you see the menu from the ubuntu-grub?
[07:49] <zamn> llutz_: i have no clue tbh. if you could help me thatd be great heh
[07:49] <llutz_> zamn: how could i tell you if YOU have more than one linux installation?
[07:49] <zamn> i meant grub install
[07:49] <zamn> not linux..
[07:50] <zamn> i only have ubuntu on here
[07:51] <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?
[07:52] <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
[07:53] <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
[07:54] <auronandace> zamn: you only need it on one (the one that bios is set to boot to)
[07:54] <zamn> ah okay
[07:55] <zamn> llutz_: okay i ran that command
[07:55] <llutz_> zamn: you have to reboot to check the result...
[07:56] <zamn> heh well can you help me with 1 more thing before i reboot llutz_ ?
[07:56] <llutz_> without knowing the thing? unlikely
[07:57] <zamn> llutz_: i have a cat5e cable plugged into my laptop which the other end is plugged into my router. For some reason ubuntu isn't showing it connected even though the connection is working
[07:57] <llutz_> zamn: "ethtool eth0"  check for "link"
[07:58] <zamn> llutz_: 	Link detected: no
[07:58] <llutz_> how does the connection work if ubuntu shows disconnected? zamn
[07:58] <llutz_> zamn: check cable
[07:58] <zamn> llutz_: because i have other things connected to the router and it works fine
[07:58] <zamn> they*
[07:58] <zamn> also its a brand new wire.
[07:59] <soman> what is the problem?
[07:59] <soman> oops
[07:59] <llutz_> zamn: do the nic-LEDs shine?
[08:00] <zamn> llutz_: are you talking about the laptop or the router? i dont see any lights on the port on the laptop and the router isnt showing a link
[08:00] <llutz_> zamn: check cable even if it is new
[08:01] <zamn> llutz_: what am i checking for? there are no bends and i can smell the new plastic on it lol.
[08:01] <llutz_> zamn: check what NIC your laptop has, if there are known issues with the driver
[08:02] <llutz_> zamn: try a different cable or this cable on a known as working link
[08:02] <ryan_> llutz am having problems with unity sidebar
[08:02] <llutz_> ryan_: nice, i don't know/use unity
[08:03] <ryan_> k
[08:03] <zamn> llutz_: i can verify its a problem with the laptop
[08:03] <llutz_> zamn: check driver, google for known issues
[08:04] <DrManhattan> I have 3 tv cards in my system. when I reboot, occasionally the cards are enumerated differently. How do I stop this from happening?
[08:05] <llutz_> DrManhattan: try defining your own udev-rule and assign a fixed numbering
[08:05] <DrManhattan> llutz, I have no idea how to even start that
[08:06] <ryan_> someone please help me out with unity sidebar
[08:07] <DrManhattan> llutz, can ya give a brother a clue
[08:07] <llutz_> DrManhattan: check the wiki, iirc there are tutorials for udev-rules. basically you tell udev: "if you detect pci-card xx.yy it is card no zzz"
[08:07] <llutz_> unfortunately udev speaks broken english as i do
[08:08] <llutz_> doesn't speak*
[08:11] <AdvoWork> Hi there, i was in postgresql, went back to root, and see There are stopped jobs   whats that about?

[08:15] <AdvoWork> afflicto, do the logs give anymore details?
[08:15] <afflicto> What logs? :P
[08:16] <afflicto> AdvoWork: What logs?
[08:17] <llutz_> afflicto: /var/log/apache*
[08:17] <lewis1711> does anyone know what controls the splash screen you get when you log out? :)
[08:18] <afflicto> llutz_: ok  I see lots of files in /var/log/, which one?
[08:23] <Coder_1340> hi
[08:24] <jarco> hello Coder_1340  :)
[08:24] <Coder_1340> how can i setup the extended display monitor
[08:24] <hLushfzlis> umm...
[08:26] <hLushfzlis> anyone talking?
[08:26] <jarco> Coder_1340, did you try settings -> displays
[08:26] <afflicto> Ok it seems whenever I do require 'some/file.php'; I get HTTP error 500. :\
[08:27] <Coder_1340> but the resolution is incorrect
[08:27] <Coder_1340> it only has 640x480
[08:27] <jarco> its like one massive one right?
[08:27] <jarco> ohw
[08:28] <Coder_1340> but my screen have 1024x768
[08:28] <jarco> what graphics card family? Nvidia? ati intell?
[08:28] <Coder_1340> nvidia
[08:28] <hLushfzlis> i installed ubuntu, messed up, tries to boot from usb but still same
[08:28] <jarco> Did you install the nvidia driver or using the default one?
[08:28] <lostratega> hi
[08:28] <Coder_1340> i installed nvidia driver for my graphic card
[08:28] <Coder_1340> my laptop resolution is correct
[08:28] <Coder_1340> 1366x768
[08:28] <Coder_1340> but tha additonal monitor
[08:29] <jarco> you have to change it in the nvidia control center (don't know the name, i use intell)
[08:29] <Coder_1340> i will try
[08:29] <jarco> If I remember correctly you have to run the nvidia center as root to save it
[08:29] <jarco> but you can copy the generated file by hand
[08:30] <Coder_1340> if i set the generated file by hand

[09:09] <jFenton> Hello all. Definitely got here from the ubuntu forums.
[09:17] <AdvoWork> how would I go about setting up log rotation on a file, or would I need to write a bash script?
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> florian_  i haven't followed, but kernel 3.6 is not out yet, it's a release candidate
[09:22] <hateball> AdvoWork: It's described in the logrotate man-page
[09:22] <hateball> AdvoWork: Although I guess you'd have to google around for real world examples, as per usual
[09:25] <cristian_c> Hi
[09:25] <bkc_> o/
[09:25] <belgianguy> when I log in, the screen is jumbled for a second or so, but then it corrects itself
[09:25] <cristian_c> Do you know if webkitgtk supports the images management in the webpages?
[09:25] <belgianguy> anyone know why this happens?
[09:26] <belgianguy> and it's not the total width, about a sqaure size, with a band to the right that isn't jumbled
[09:26] <bkc_> belgianguy: I'd guess crappy drivers, but I need the log-files for Xorg to diagnose anything :)
[09:26] <cristian_c> I've looked for in the webkitgtk documentation, but I've not found anything yet
[09:26] <progre55> hi guys. I was doing an apt-get update on one of my servers, and getting "invoke-rc.d: initscript resolvconf, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing resolvconf (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" Any suggestions, please?
[09:26] <belgianguy> bkc_: where would I find those?
[09:26] <bkc_> belgianguy: /var/log/Xorg.[0-9].log
[09:27] <cristian_c> Do you know something about it? Do you have some other links?
[09:27] <belgianguy> it's an ATI gfx card btw, and I've had my share of trouble, so it could be
[09:27] <belgianguy> fglrx *shudder*
[09:27] <bkc_> belgianguy: post /var/log/Xorg.0.log on pastebin for example and I'll have a look
[09:27] <belgianguy> bkc_: will do, thanks!µ
[09:27] <bkc_> belgianguy: skip fglrx and rock mesa instead :)
[09:30] <cristian_c> *have got
[09:30] <belgianguy> bkc_: I wouldn't know what to look for tbh
[09:30] <bkc_> belgianguy: please no privs :)
[09:30] <belgianguy> http://pastebin.com/bh834uJq
[09:30] <bkc_> logged channel and so on :)
[09:31] <belgianguy> oh, I thought I was extra careful with priv

[09:33] <MonkeyDust> !pm > belgianguy
[09:33] <belgianguy> thanks, MonkeyDust
[09:37] <MonkeyDust> graag gedaan hoor :)
[09:37] <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 :)
[09:38] <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)
[09:39] <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
[09:40] <belgianguy> so aticonfig could help, then?
[09:40] <wolfgang__> k1l, just wondering because i don't have access.
[09:40] <bkc_> belgianguy: did you purge nvidia or just remove it?
[09:41] <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] <bkc_> belgianguy: if you check @ line 118, you'll see the warning :)
[09:43] <bkc_> belgianguy: but then again, I havn't used ATI/AMD with anything other than mesa-drivers, so I could be completely wrong... but atleast it work mess up your system :)
[09:43] <bkc_> s/work/wont/
[09:43] <belgianguy> bkc_: I'm already impressed it still runs, after all I've done to it
[09:43] <belgianguy> learned a lot though
[09:43] <belgianguy> broke a lot, too...
[09:44] <ARizvanolli> hello
[09:44] <baizon> hi hi
[09:44] <bkc_> belgianguy: my laptop w/ archlinux was a virtual machine from the start... so If I want to, I could just boot it upp in VirtualBox and it still works just as it should :)
[09:45] <AdvoWork> I just ctrl + c, then ctrl + d'd out of a user, and see There are stopped jobs   whats that about?
[09:45] <bkc_> AdvoWork: that's normal, ignore it
[09:45] <AdvoWork> whats it mean though?
[09:46] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks!
[09:47] <bkc_> AdvoWork: It means, that a command you ran earlier was stopped when you terminated the login...
[09:47] <bkc_> GeorgeJ: o/
[09:47] <GeorgeJ> Does anyone know how to make totem read from stdin?
[09:47] <bkc_> totem < stdin ?
[09:47] <bkc_> totem < cat somefile.wav ?
[09:48] <k1l> wolfgang__: that is right. the recovered files belong to root
[09:48] <GeorgeJ> I'm trying to play an mp4 over ssh but totem just bails with "no 'moov' atom within the first 10 MB"
[09:49] <GeorgeJ> This is what I'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1164129/
[09:50] <GeorgeJ> Totem is the default media player that comes with Ubuntu, btw.
[09:51] <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
[09:52] <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
[09:53] <arvislacis> I will try, thanks all.
[09:54] <arvislacis> Yes, seems that I have the latest.
[09:54] <arvislacis> Thanks all. :)
[09:58] <AdvoWork> bkc_, can I find out what that command was, just interested?
[09:58] <bkc_> AdvoWork: what it was, no... what it is before closing the terminal, yes... bg
[10:00] <bkc_> AdvoWork: or ps
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  tip: use alacarte to edit the menu, you can then see the properties of each command in the menu
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  or is that not what you mean
[10:02] <bkc_> MonkeyDust: no, he wanted to know how to see what programs were terminated after he closed down the terminal

[10:08] <zsolt_hun> hi there
[10:09] <zsolt_hun> try to write image.raw with dd if=image.raw /dev/sdd1 but after that got an error when mount it
[10:09] <zsolt_hun> bad superblock
[10:09] <dojhaoo> Hey, can i upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 kernel to 3.5.2??
[10:10] <bkc_> dojhaoo: they aren't compatable
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: is the input file just data?
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  not, 10.10 is too old
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: Maverick is also EOL, not supported any more
[10:10] <bkc_> zsolt_hun: what does image.raw contain?
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  plus, the latest supported kernel is 3.2
[10:10] <zsolt_hun> ubuntu mobile for nokia n900
[10:10] <bkc_> 3.4.9-1-ARCH
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: you can't just sling the Quantal kernel into Maverick and expect it to work
[10:11] <florian_> my kernel is  3.2.0-30-generic
[10:11] <zsolt_hun> tryed with bzcat img.raw.bz > /dev/sdd1 it is the same :(
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: what is the output of:   file img.raw     ?
[10:12] <bkc_> zsolt_hun: I'm guessing you're "doing it wrong(tm)" ^^... dd if=image.raw of=/dev/sdd
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  if you want bleeding edge, upgrade to 12.10 and ask support in #ubuntu+1
[10:13] <zsolt_hun> well,if it is wrong,how to do that properly?
[10:13] <dojhaoo> Yeah, but i m using this OS from a long time and have installed many packages so i don't want a fresh install..
[10:14] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  the version you are using is dead
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: your release is not supported anywhere you can name
[10:16] <zsolt_hun> to write this image to whole disk is not a option,since other part is used for maemo rootfs and swap
[10:17] <zsolt_hun> i followed the instructions step by step,but it is useless
[10:18] <dojhaoo> Today another problem arises, I m not able connect with ubuntu channel through XCHAT.  Is any1 can help me??
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: what is the output of my command please?
[10:18] <dojhaoo> really right now i m using browser..
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: on maverick?
[10:18] <dojhaoo> yeah...
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: its not supported anymore
[10:19] <dojhaoo> ActionParsnip: yeah but i was getting connect before 2-3 days..
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: doesn't matter, its still a dead release
[10:20] <zsolt_hun> syntax error
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: file ./image.raw
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  what you want is not possible
[10:21] <dojhaoo> MonkeyDust:  what do u mean??
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  we just explained what we mean
[10:21] <zsolt_hun> i'm on it
[10:22] <zsolt_hun> thank you
[10:23] <dojhaoo> exactly i said earlier that this problem i m facing today but 10.10 is not supported from a long time...
[10:23] <dojhaoo> so i donnt think it matters in getting connect..
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: its like phoning Microsoft support to get a windows 95 question answered, they won't help you
[10:23] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  a lot of your technical issues will be solved after upgrading to 12.04
[10:24] <zsolt_hun> x.10 is short term and x.04 is long term support
[10:24] <bekks> zsolt_hun: No.
[10:24] <bekks> zsolt_hun: 11.04 wasnt a LTS release.
[10:25] <zsolt_hun> sorry about that
[10:25] <dojhaoo> Okay thanks, I m going to install it right now....:)
[10:25] <zsolt_hun>  Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open ...
[10:26] <zsolt_hun> it is the same

[10:31] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  maybe in debian, but not in ubuntu
[10:31] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, I've installed it by precise official repo
[10:31] <belgianguy> btw, can someone shed light on what the advantage of Wayland would be over X?

[10:32] <ronankennedy> Hello. I hope I am in the right channel for help with this problem. I recently upgraded Ubuntu on my Eee netbook from 10.04 to 12.04. Somewhere in the process, all of the application icons disappeared. Whatever software manages the menus either isn't running or can't read the configuration files. When I log in, I get a blank blue screen with one folder icon. I think this is my desktop. There are no top or sidebars and I can't do anything. I c
[10:32] <ronankennedy> a terminal window up with Ctrl-Alt-T but I never get a command prompt. Alt+F2 brings me to a text-only console. I have tried these instructions but nothing happens: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-meta/+question/100497
[10:32] <AdvoWork> i'm struggling with logrotate, i need to rotate /home/mylog.log  how do i add that, do i add it to logrotate.conf or?
[10:32] <kanliot> i just uninstalled gadmin and samba, and now I can't run the sudo command.

[10:34] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (I don't know much about Ubuntu. I'm a Mac user... :-)
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  does not sound familiar to me, i'm sure someone else can help
[10:34] <belgianguy> ActionParsnip: but a good direction to start out in can be of great help :)
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: before you log in, click the ubuntu logo near your username and switch to the different session
[10:34] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, who? :)
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: or if gdm remains then switch the session however it is done in gdm

[10:41] <florian_> @MonkeyDust - ok i am patient :) .
[10:43] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: Yes, that mostly works. I have the top bar and a side bar which seems to have most of my custom icons in it. Thanks. How do I get to see all of the icons that I used to have in Ubuntu 10? Is there some way to convert the application menu configuration from Unity 2D to whatever is used when I log into 'Ubuntu' rather than 'Ubuntu 2D'?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: not sure, the gnome-panel package is still in Precise. I've never done an upgrade tbh. I always clean install
[10:47] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: OK, thanks. Would you have any idea why I can't do anything when I log in to a normal Ubuntu session? Is there documentation on how to set up the new interface?

[11:09] <ronankennedy> ActionParnsip: :-) What I mean is, when I login to 'Ubuntu', I just get a blank screen. I presume there's some software that's supposed to start and give me a menu of installed applications etc. How do I find out how to start that, and how to add custom icons for the extra applications I have installed?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: sounds like your 3D accelleration
[11:11] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: That's the software I need to run, or is this hardware that should be in the machine? (This is an Asus Eee 1000 from about 5 years ago so it's not very powerful.)
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: should be ok
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: probably an Intel GPU, the 2D doesn't need 3D accelleration and is a little faster

[11:53] <ActionParsnip> progre55: try: sudo service resolvconf stop; sudo apt-get -f install
[11:53] <progre55> the same thing
[11:54] <progre55> ActionParsnip: let me try that

[11:59] <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).
[12:00] <xtalmath> I just upgraded to 12.04, in 10.04 this was no problem
[12:01] <xtalmath> also the application cpu usage has doubled in the application
[12:02] <yatta> is there way to find last used commands in xchat? if no where can I suggest such option?
[12:03] <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
[12:05] <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] <MadsRC> specified
[12:05] <auronandace> xtalmath: you can try unity2d, that uses metacity instead of compiz, less cpu crazy
[12:05] <xtalmath> thats in the login screen that I can select this?
[12:06] <auronandace> xtalmath: yes, press the little gear to see the options

[12:12] <maxjso> Hi - looking for NFS, autofs and rpc.statd help
[12:13] <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] <ActionParsnip> AminosAmigos: lsb_release -a
[12:14] <maxjso>  5768 ?        Ss     0:00 rpc.statd --no-notify
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  was faster
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> :)
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: that's what she said
[12:14] <AminosAmigos> wow that was fast :) thanks Acidflash| & MonkeyDust  :)
[12:15] <killer_> my system partition is not showing up that data :ActionParsnip
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> killer_: do you have a seperate /home and / partitions?
[12:16] <AminosAmigos> i am trying to install a Theme but i could not find .themes in my home Directory :/ should i creat one ?
[12:17] <ThinkT510> AminosAmigos: if it isn't there then yes
[12:17] <yatta> killer_, did you try to copy them all or just one file by one?
[12:18] <killer_> ActionParsnip : no i have n't.......i use other ntfs partition to save my data
[12:18] <killer_> yatta : tried to copy them all
[12:18] <yatta> how bout paste then?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> killer_: not a bad move
[12:19] <yatta> maybe data is still somewhere in middle
[12:19] <maxjso> actionparsnip : yes there are bug reports but no one matching this issue exactly
[12:20] <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....?
[12:21] <yatta> killer_, well if you didn't cut files maybe you could use paste on desktop?
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> !recovery > killer_
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> !recover > killer_
[12:22] <AminosAmigos> !recover > AminosAmigos
[12:24] <AminosAmigos> i love bots :D

[13:00] <zykotick9> qwer: try "ubuntu" as username, with no password.  Why 10.04?
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> qwer: I suggest you install Precise, its supported til 2017
[13:00] <isthisnickfree> if you didnt set it up its probably username: ubuntu and no password, just hit enter
[13:01] <qwer> try that does not work
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> qwer: you can press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:  passwd ubuntu     set the password then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in as ubuntu with your password
[13:03] <qwer> i press CTRL+ALT+F1
[13:03] <jarco> MonkeyDust, Only difference now is that i see a wallpaper and right click seems to be working again. alt+f2 however not
[13:03] <qwer> DO NOT RUN passwd ubuntu
[13:03] <qwer> anything?
[13:03] <qwer> Precise is not supported by the laptop
[13:04] <qwer> any advvice
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> qwer: what happens when you try to boot Precise?
[13:04] <blackshirt> what you mean with not supported ?
[13:04] <qwer> just  do not start install
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> qwer: i have systems more than likely older than anything you own, running precise
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> qwer: do you get the desktop?
[13:05] <blackshirt> qwer . What your laptops type?
[13:05] <yatta> qwer, sometimes needs more restarting i think
[13:05] <qwer> packard bell
[13:05] <Night-hacks> i've installed cinnamon using ppa, and i have gnome classic in my sessions
[13:05] <Night-hacks> is it mate desktop ? or cinnamon itself ?
[13:05] <zykotick9> Night-hacks: if you want cinnamon, use mint...
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Night-hacks: cinammon isn't supported here
[13:06] <qwer> ok i tryied ubuntu precise several times
[13:06] <qwer> and does not start the install
[13:07] <compdoc> what happens?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> qwer: what happens when you try to boot the install media? Do you (for example) get a black screen?
[13:07] <yatta> from what are you installing CD, USB or DVD?
[13:07] <qwer> so i try with lucyd is starts but needs user and passord. The user ubuntu with blank password do not work
[13:07] <Peetee> qwer u need automatic log in
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> qwer: what happens when you try to boot the install media? Do you (for example) get a black screen?
[13:08] <qwer> no
[13:08] <qwer> is not actually a black screen
[13:08] <yatta> qwer, any warning maybe image isn't burn right?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> qwer: did you MD5 test the precise ISO you downloaded?
[13:09] <qwer> is from official server
[13:09] <Peetee> what about UNetBootIn
[13:09] <qwer> why should i do that
[13:09] <Peetee> md5 check?
[13:10] <qwer> now im downloading 8.04 version
[13:10] <yatta> lol
[13:10] <do-while> quit #ubuntu
[13:10] <do-while> a
[13:10] <qwer> its has support for upgrade
[13:10] <do-while> how can i left this chanel?
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> qwer  better download 12.04
[13:10] <blackshirt> it was expired
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> do-while  /part
[13:10] <qwer> i have 12.04
[13:11] <qwer> desktop
[13:11] <do-while> thx!
[13:11] <Peetee> do-while: U cant :D
[13:11] <blackshirt> i think you need some options
[13:11] <jarco> MonkeyDust, I think i found a guide that might help me. I gonna try that. If it doesn't work i ll come back here
[13:11] <qwer> try to install it several times but does not load install
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> qwer  old eol verions will certainly not intall properly
[13:12] <yatta> qwer, any warning messages when you boot from media?
[13:12] <blackshirt> try to pass noapic or nolapic to booting process
[13:13] <qwer> ok i start again with 12.04 version
[13:13] <qwer> i choose the language and hit install ubuntu
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> qwer: source is irrelevant, the data can still get mangled in transit
[13:14] <Peetee> blackshirt: or should he use alternate CD? I found that with topic apic
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> qwer: the fact it comes from the official servers doesn't mean it will be error free as you download it
[13:14] <qwer> how can i see what is happend
[13:14] <MyNameIsNick> hey all
[13:14] <qwer> the messages
[13:14] <qwer> how can i see them?
[13:14] <blackshirt> qwer, switch to another console
[13:15] <qwer> how i do that
[13:15] <Peetee> qwer: U should use sysctl.conf to uncover booting lines I think
[13:15] <age> Hi. I am having problems with Python-based programs, and Bluetooth services in particular. Whever I try to add a device, I get "(bluetooth-wizard:3980): WARNING **: Setting up 'C702' failed: Cannot allocate memory" in console. `free -m` shows about 1500 mb free RAM.
[13:15] <qwer> that changes i do on original cd
[13:16] <blackshirt> qwer, ctrl alt f1 will bring you to first console
[13:16] <qwer> ok i think is an cd error
[13:17] <blackshirt> qwer, maybe
[13:17] <Peetee> qwer it would be probably good to try usb stick? just an idea
[13:17] <qwer> ok ill try it
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> every cold boot i have this corrupt square mouse pointer, how can i fix this?
[13:17] <qwer> :D
[13:17] <qwer> make and usb stick with ubuntu 12.04
[13:18] <qwer> how can i do that?
[13:18] <Peetee> impossible task :D
[13:18] <yatta> dash -> startup disk creator
[13:19] <Peetee> yatta: but what about malfunction on CD?
[13:19] <yatta> what malfunction?
[13:19] <Peetee> does it work proprely with it?
[13:20] <rabbi1> how can i configure a printer which is in my network with ip 192.168.1.6 , it is a canon mx357
[13:20] <susundberg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[13:21] <susundberg> rabbi1: oh, sorry thats not proper doc
[13:21] <rabbi1> oops
[13:21] <khuram> hi
[13:22] <blackshirt> hi khuram
[13:22] <khuram> i was looking for help
[13:22] <khuram> hi black shirt
[13:22] <susundberg> rabbi1:  afaik you can just add it as new printer and at some point you select network printer, sorry dont have ubuntu on my hand right now
[13:22] <khuram> i want to start warcraft 3 on ubuntu
[13:22] <khuram> i found sites that show you how to do it
[13:23] <khuram> but the first thing i need is wine
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> khuram  correct
[13:23] <susundberg> kubuntu says 'add new printer' and ther you can select which protocol you want to use to communicate with the network printer
[13:23] <khuram> i just tried to download and isntall wine
[13:23] <rabbi1> susundberg: :(
[13:23] <khuram> but in terminal when i type wine nothing comes up
[13:23] <blackshirt> khuram, that was for windows based program
[13:23] <khuram> well warcraft 3 is a windows based program
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> khuram  no, you can now start the game, wine runs in the background
[13:24] <khuram> oh
[13:24] <khuram> ok
[13:24] <khuram> so wait
[13:24] <khuram> i have to download the game
[13:24] <khuram> and then how do i install it
[13:24] <rabbi1> if i say add printer, what is url i have to give ? http://..... or socket://..... ?
[13:24] <zykotick9> khuram: "download and isntall wine", did you use Ubuntu Software Center (or apt-get) or did you manually install somehow?
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> khuram  first try to install irfanview or so, to see how wine works
[13:24] <susundberg> rabbi1: i would just enter the ip
[13:25] <slitaz> khuram Wine ?
[13:25] <khuram> i used software center edit ---> software source ---> other tab then in the boxi  typed in something
[13:25] <rabbi1> and also i don find my printer in the choose drive list, can't find the ppd also :(
[13:25] <susundberg> gnn, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/printing.html is missing instructions for network printer ..
[13:25] <khuram> irfanview
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> how can i get rid of this square mouse pointer every cold boot?
[13:25] <khuram> as like a test?
[13:25] <rabbi1> just an ip, will not enable the ok button at all
[13:25] <khuram> i honestly need to just learn how to install a program
[13:25] <khuram> like manually
[13:26] <susundberg> rabbi1: oh, wait i'll get my laptop with ubuntu installed ..
[13:26] <warfaren> khuram: are you familiar with the terminal?
[13:26] <khuram> i know how to open it
[13:26] <warfaren> khuram: ok. well try typing sudo apt-get install wine
[13:26] <rabbi1> ok
[13:27] <khuram> wow thanks warfaren
[13:27] <warfaren> khuram: no problem. that's how you install stuff that's in your repositories
[13:28] <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] <khuram> but im worried
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <khuram> cool
[13:29] <khuram> so are you on blood thinners?
[13:29] <khuram> haha
[13:29] <khuram> sorry
[13:29] <warfaren> khuram: alright well some software will just work anyways. no i'm not. i didn't even know my nickname meant that at the time i picked it lol. but i do since a few years now
[13:29] <khuram> lol
[13:29] <khuram> wow
[13:29] <warfaren> khuram: altho i think that's actually warfarin
[13:29] <khuram> do you play wc3?
[13:30] <warfaren> haven't done it for many years
[13:30] <khuram> lol
[13:30] <khuram> there is this other game i want to install
[13:30] <khuram> but i could not find any inforamtion on it
[13:30] <khuram> it is called smite
[13:30] <khuram> its in closed beta
[13:30] <khuram> if you could help me with that
[13:30] <khuram> i would be super greatful
[13:30] <khuram> oh and i need hot spot shield to run pandora
[13:31] <warfaren> okay well if that game does not support linux natively you'll need wine for it
[13:31] <khuram> thats it
[13:31] <khuram> i am getting wine
[13:31] <GandalfGreyHat> Is there any way to actually install working M$ Office in Ubuntu?
[13:31] <khuram> hehe
[13:32] <warfaren> khuram: if you got the prompt back in the terminal after running the install wine command, you now have wine
[13:33] <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?
[13:34] <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
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <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] <banyantree> Hey Guys =)
[13:37] <khuram> one i install wc3 or smite its going to be a install file
[13:37] <khuram> where do they go?

[13:38] <khuram> if i see the exe file then i would click it
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> khuram  accept the defaults, then try to find out how stuff works
[13:38] <warfaren> as for wc3 i assume just insert your original disc to begin with
[13:38] <khuram> k im gonna install smite
[13:38] <khuram> ok
[13:38] <marcus____> so reinstall is not an option now
[13:38] <khuram> i lost my disc

[13:42] <end_guy> How can I get two finger scrolling to work on my laptop's track pad? None of the google results have helped.
[13:42] <k1l> marcus____: but i dont get why you need that to install gentoo. you could easily shrink the partitions or rearange
[13:42] <marcus____> cannto on life
[13:42] <warfaren> khuram: alright, c: will by default end up in /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c
[13:42] <marcus____> system
[13:43] <khuram> shouldi  change it
[13:43] <khuram> because if i dont i will get an error
[13:43] <warfaren> khuram: if you want it on another partition i guess
[13:43] <warfaren> really?
[13:43] <khuram> yes
[13:43] <warfaren> what error?
[13:44] <k1l> marcus____: just revert this steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

[13:47] <end_guy> I'm trying to get two finger scrolling to work on my laptop, but when i try to check the synaptics driver it says "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
[13:47] <warfaren> khuram: that sounds strange. are you using the installer from battle.net?
[13:47] <yatta> is there way to find last used commands in xchat after restarting computer?
[13:47] <khuram> no this is not wc3
[13:47] <khuram> its smite
[13:47] <khuram> its the installer from thier website
[13:48] <warfaren> khuram: oh okay. well im not sure about that game. is it new?
[13:48] <khuram> yes
[13:48] <warfaren> khuram: some new games have bad compatibility with wine
[13:48] <khuram> oh
[13:49] <warfaren> khuram: some works but will work but need some workarounds
[13:49] <qwer> ok

[13:49] <yatta> hi qwer
[13:49] <qwer> back with irc client
[13:49] <warfaren> best thing you can do is google for the name of the game + winehq
[13:49] <warfaren> and read all the info there.
[13:49] <Pici> !appdb | khuram
[13:49] <khuram> ok thank you

[13:51] <khuram> haha
[13:51] <khuram> aww
[13:51] <khuram> ok
[13:51] <FloodBot1> khuram: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:52] <warfaren> khuram: that sucks. hopefully it will be fixed soon though
[13:52] <Walther> stick
[13:52] <qwer> not syncing:Fatal exception in interrrupt
[13:52] <KM0201> khuram: what app?
[13:52] <warfaren> khuram: meanwhile you could contact the developers and ask them to release a linux port
[13:52] <qwer> i think this version of ubuntu does not work with that laptop
[13:52] <yatta> qwer, what happens when you boot ubuntu 12.04 from usb?
[13:52] <qwer> just write it down
[13:53] <yatta> oh
[13:53] <khuram> haha
[13:53] <yatta> qwer, idk
[13:53] <khuram> I will start to use pucuation now, I am sorry I have a horrible habit of using enter as puctuation
[13:53] <khuram> the application i was reffering to was Smite
[13:54] <khuram> which is in closed beta as of now
[13:54] <khuram> have you heard of dota?
[13:55] <qwer> k now im writing a dvd copy of precise
[13:55] <qwer> if this still does not work
[13:55] <yatta> qwer, how do you burn ISO?
[13:55] <qwer> this mean the laptop is not compatible with ubuntu 12.04
[13:55] <qwer> nero
[13:55] <yatta> ok
[13:55] <centrelink> I love you
[13:56] <fAz4> After installing gnome shell on 12.04 i have gnome classic session
[13:56] <qwer> im actually on windows machine
[13:56] <KM0201> qwer: whats the specs of the laptop?
[13:56] <fAz4> is it Gnome 3 which is like gnome 2 ?!
[13:56] <qwer> try to install an ubuntu version to an laptop
[13:56] <qwer> is an packard bell
[13:56] <KM0201> qwer: specs?
[13:56] <belgianguy> qwer: did you get _anything_? or did it crash at once?
[13:56] <qwer> is like 1gb ram
[13:57] <KM0201> packard bell?.. i hope you mean hp, cuz that is ancient
[13:57] <qwer> 160hdd
[13:57] <KM0201> cpu?
[13:57] <cifadam> are there any "grub" specific channel on this server?
[13:57] <qwer> intel centrino duo
[13:57] <belgianguy> could it be 32 vs 64 bitness?
[13:57] <qwer> like 1200
[13:57] <qwer> or 2100
[13:58] <KM0201> belgianguy: usually that gives a very specific error, (architecture error) so you know what the problem is
[13:58] <belgianguy> does your unit have a model name and number?
[13:58] <carles_> .org
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> qwer: if you get a blank screen on boot, use the boot option: nomodeset
[13:58] <belgianguy> KM0201: ah, I see, thanks!
[13:59] <qwer> ok burn completed
[13:59] <qwer> now lets see the dvd
[13:59] <KM0201> qwer: is it 1200 or 2100?.. big difference

[14:04] <belgianguy> qwer, does it say why the kernel panicked?
[14:05] <qwer> nope

[14:07] <marcus___>  now i got question can i have 2  oses on one boot partition exacly the same boot for gentoo and  ubuntu?
[14:07] <marcus___> ActionParsnip:   u cannto unmount partition when ur loged in to it
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> marcus___: you can dual boot with gentoo if you desire
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> marcus___: you can use force
[14:07] <marcus___> ActionParsnip:  i know but can i use the same boot
[14:08] <marcus___>  ActionParsnip yeah my way worked too xD
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> marcus___: do you mean /boot partition?
[14:08] <marcus___> yes

[14:09] <khuram> hey
[14:10] <khuram> i just downloaded wc3
[14:10] <khuram> but there isnt an exe file there
[14:10] <ring0> yatta, analyze your boot cycle with bootchart
[14:11] <mneptok> khuram: what exactly did you download from the W3C?
[14:11] <khuram> oh wait it work
[14:11] <kantlivelong> are multitouch trackpads broken in 12.04?
[14:11] <khuram> it was just installing in the background wanst done
[14:11] <yatta> ring0, should I install it?
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> yatta  start with removing 9.04 as it is no longer supported and probably useless, see if that helps
[14:11] <mneptok> khuram: .exe is a Windows file extension. it's meaningless on anything but Windows.
[14:12] <yatta> MonkeyDust, that was in my mind
[14:12] <ring0> yatta, obviously: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting
[14:12] <yatta> thanks
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> kantlivelong: depends on the hardware
[14:15] <qwer> ActionParsnip: ill write to you the error message
[14:15] <qwer> ActionParsnip : i can write the code to

[14:15] <belgianguy> pastebin if it's a lot

[14:15] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: ^
[14:16] <qwer> it can be a ram problem :D
[14:16] <qwer> of the laptop
[14:16] <KM0201> lol, "toddakin"  good one Laurenceb
[14:16] <qwer> because non of windows versions can be installed to
[14:16] <qwer> "D
[14:16] <qwer> :D
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> qwer: Have you tried Lubuntu
[14:16] <qwer> Lubuntu
[14:16] <qwer> ?
[14:17] <qwer> this laptop is for office more like
[14:17] <KM0201> is this a problem w/ his resources?  he said he had 1gig of ram, 160gig hard drive... but he said 3 different processors, so i'm not sure what he had there.
[14:17] <belgianguy> would make sense, the 'try' installation uses RAM, if that's broken/unavailable, it would crash
[14:17] <qwer> is an intel core 2 duo processor
[14:17] <qwer> 1500 ghz
[14:17] <qwer> ok

[14:18] <mneptok> qwer: any laptop capable of running a recent version of both Windows and Office is ore than capanle of running some kind of Linux.
[14:18] <belgianguy> qwer, what is the last thing you see before the error?
[14:18] <KM0201> that's 32bit, is it not qwer ?
[14:18] <qwer> common intrerrupt +0x30/0x38
[14:19] <mneptok> qwer: did you md5sum the Ubuntu .iso image you downloaded to make sure it's not corrupted?
[14:19] <qwer> i think this is not the problem
[14:19] <qwer> the problem is on the ram of the laptop
[14:20] <qwer> ill get my baseball bat wait
[14:20] <qwer> :))
[14:20] <mneptok> qwer: then pull sticks of RAM to see if you have one that works.
[14:20] <ogzy> i am trying to install ltsp-server ubuntu that is 10.04 alternate cd, at the first screen it is said that i should press f4 and choose LTSP Server and then install, but i got not a com32r image, how can i add this mode to the boot: prompt?
[14:21] <qwer> :D
[14:22] <Orpheon> I've got a problem with my 12.04 64-bit
[14:22] <Orpheon> suddenly at one point, each time I boot all connections to everything seem to be cut
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> ogzy: why not instal Precise server instead, its supported til 2017..?
[14:23] <Orpheon> no wired internet connections, no external hardware, no sound ports, no nothing
[14:23] <Orpheon> pulseaudio can't even start because of this
[14:23] <Orpheon> does anyone have an idea what the cause could be, and what a fix would be (besides reinstalling)?
[14:23] <ogzy> ActionParsnip: at the wiki 10.04 alternate cd address is given
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> ogzy: seems a little old, i'd go with the newest LTS
[14:24] <ogzy> ActionParsnip: will it have LTSP mode?
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> ogzy: should do, yes
[14:27] <Orpheon> no-one have any idea about my problem? :(
[14:27] <kyanardag> Hi.. I have wireless problem.. cannot connect to 802.1x network at my university campus.. i desperately need help.. i pasted necessary information (wireless card, error logs, etc) at http://pastebin.com/vszbew92
[14:27] <kyanardag> i'll be glad if someone can assist me resolving the issue..
[14:28] <yatta> kyanardag, how do you connect?
[14:28] <kyanardag> yatta: right now via ethernet..
[14:28] <yatta> I mean when you are connecting via wlan
[14:29] <kyanardag> yatta: i use nm-applet.. do you need specifics about security specs?
[14:30] <yatta> what kind of key?
[14:31] <kyanardag> yatta: security: Dynamic WEP (802.1x) Authentication: PEAP CA certificate: None Peap version: Automatic Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2 Username: USERNAME Password: PASSWORD
[14:32] <berqe_can> yes yes  that is it
[14:33] <BrettWorth> Hi all.  I've had an ongoing problem with my packages which I have been unable to resolve.  Somehow I have a version of libgcrypt that is broken but nothing I do will remove it.  Here's what happens: http://pastebin.com/4EV2tzcQ  . Any help would be appreciated.  I'm on 12.04 kubuntu.
[14:33]  * berqe_can televizyon izleyecek
[14:35] <phiscribe> BrettWorth: have you tried a distro-upgrade
[14:35] <BrettWorth> No.  I'll go do some googling.
[14:35] <berqe> +o Bercik
[14:36] <yatta> kyanardag, try network connections --> wireless--> click on network name --> edit... --> wireless security. check is everything alright
[14:36] <phiscribe> apt-get dist-upgrade i should say
[14:37] <dlorah> never hacked webcams connected to wireless ap using postal address with irc ubuntu client? http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=120824043936436346.png
[14:37] <BrettWorth> I just tried it and get the same message: "libgcrypt11:i386 1.5.0-3 cannot be configured because libgcrypt11:amd64 is in a different version (1.5.0-3ubuntu0.1)"
[14:37] <kyanardag> yatta: my university has published instructions for connecting the network with Windows. So the information is correct. The log says, association is okay but then dhcp cannot get IP..
[14:37] <phiscribe> BrettWorth: maybe try aptitude
[14:38] <BrettWorth> K.  I'll try that now...
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> BrettWorth: if you run:  apt-cache policy libgcrypt11:i386 libgcrypt11:and64     are they both from the Ubuntu repos, or from some PPA
[14:39] <yatta> kyanardag, sry I don't know maybe AP needs better configuration
[14:40] <BrettWorth> I get this: http://pastebin.com/AkpLz7W4
[14:40] <kyanardag> yatta: thanks.. i need someone knowledgeable in wpasupplicant, dhcp, etc. i don't know how to find somebody like that..
[14:41] <lovingyou> hey guys, got a supermicro board with 4 nics and for some reason ubuntu sets the MAC for eth0 to eth2 and eth3. Any ideas?
[14:41] <phiscribe> sheesh i dunno but its seems funny that it says and64 not amd64
[14:41] <qwer> ok i remain on ubuntu 8.04 version
[14:42] <qwer> is there any support for upgrade to 12.04
[14:42] <qwer> ?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> qwer: sure, you'll need to upgrade to 10.04 first
[14:43] <BrettWorth> I just read the output..  Here's the corrected one: http://pastebin.com/8YQhQS4d
[14:43] <phiscribe> BrettWorth:  i wonder if the and64 not being amd64 is a type someplace, maybe try  a use repo (i think thats austrailan)
[14:43] <phiscribe> typo
[14:43] <kantlivelong> anyone know why my touchpad would say it supports 3 fingers but doesnt seem to accept 3 finger gestures? ginn/touchegg report nothing. builtin two finger scrolling works.
[14:43] <phiscribe> usa repo i meant
[14:43] <zxcqweasdzxc> hello all!
[14:44] <llutz> phiscribe: its a typo, amd64 is the architecture
[14:44] <BrettWorth> My and64 cpu is awesome.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> kantlivelong: it may support 3 in windows, but only 2 in linux, are there bugs reported / have you reported a bug
[14:45] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip: synaptics reports support for 3
[14:46] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip: i havent even installed windows :P
[14:46] <yashas> my arrows keys are giving alphabets and backspace is not working when i try to edit any /etc/sysctl.conf file.. help plz
[14:47] <kantlivelong>  Synaptics Capabilities (292):   1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
[14:47] <kantlivelong> yashas: which editor?
[14:47] <BrettWorth> phiscribe: Does that apt-cache output mean anything to you?
[14:47] <yashas> kantlivelong: vi
[14:47] <kantlivelong> yashas: use vim or nano
[14:47] <kantlivelong> idk why vim isnt default now
[14:47] <yashas> kantlivelong: ok let me try
[14:48] <kantlivelong> makes no sense to me
[14:49] <MonkeyDust> kantlivelong  nano is more intuitive to use
[14:50] <argylelabcoat> emacs? :P
[14:50] <kantlivelong> MonkeyDust: i guess :P
[14:50] <kantlivelong> argylelabcoat: dont u dare use that word :O
[14:50] <kantlivelong>  /name
[14:50] <argylelabcoat> I can use it to check my email… read my RSS feeds… and listen to internet music!
[14:50] <argylelabcoat> all while coding!
[14:50] <kantlivelong> lol
[14:50] <argylelabcoat> it's awesome :P
[14:50] <phiscribe> BrettWorth: maybe try sudo apt-get clear && sudo apt-get autoclean followed by sudo dpkg --configure -a to clear anything up, im guessing this is not a clean install but a full distro upgrade from a previous version
[14:51] <yashas> kantlivelong: thanks man, it worked
[14:51] <kantlivelong> argylelabcoat: to each their own :)
[14:51] <kantlivelong> yashas: np
[14:52] <argylelabcoat> kantlivelong: I actually use vim normally, but you gotta admit that emacs has an impressive amount of hilarious bloat sometimes
[14:52] <kantlivelong> argylelabcoat: hehe
[14:52] <BrettWorth> Yes you're right.  It was an upgrade.
[14:52] <kantlivelong> argylelabcoat: i edit files usiong cat and sed ahaha
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> kantlivelong  you're a geek
[14:53] <kantlivelong> s/usiong/using/g
[14:53] <argylelabcoat> hahaha
[14:53] <kantlivelong> mwuahaha
[14:53] <UidX> omg weird people are trying to ssh into my root account
[14:53] <UidX> who are these
[14:53] <phiscribe> BrettWorth: i have always had to clear install between releases because of problems like this, maybe im just not lucky
[14:53] <phiscribe> clean
[14:53] <kantlivelong> UidX: bots
[14:53] <UidX> can i just ignore them?
[14:53] <UidX> why are they trying to access me?
[14:53] <BrettWorth> At the end of that series of commands I still get: libgcrypt11:i386 1.5.0-3 cannot be configured because libgcrypt11:amd64 is in a different version (1.5.0-3ubuntu0.1)
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> kantlivelong: weird, are there bugs reported?
[14:54] <BrettWorth> I just with there was a way to force the replacement of that package.
[14:54] <BrettWorth> Or even a forced removal.
[14:54] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip: im looking but the topic seems very limited with content.
[14:55] <phiscribe> BrettWorth: do you have any ppa's? they can foul everything up
[14:55] <BrettWorth> I'll look.
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip: even weirder... ginn reports nothing even with builtin 2 scroll off
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> UidX: just keep the account locked as it is by default and they will always fail
[14:57] <UidX> okay thanks
[14:57] <notwo> is there a way that I can change the icon of the program on my left side bar on 12.04?
[14:57] <UidX> i just feel a bit unsettled
[14:57] <BrettWorth> I just disabled all "Other" repositories and did a check for updates.  An Apply still gave the same result.
[14:57] <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
[14:58] <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
[14:59] <belgianguy> btw anyone else has ubuntu lock up when you close the laptop lid
[14:59] <belgianguy> I can go to console 1
[14:59] <BrettWorth> I'm running that now...
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: had that bug in quantal about a month ago, all ok now
[14:59] <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?
[15:00] <belgianguy> I didn't know how to get to the login screen, usually had to cold boot
[15:01] <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!
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> BrettWorth: yu could remove both packages, then reinstall both, but specify the version number
[15:04] <BrettWorth> I've tried to remove but I just can't make that happen.
[15:05] <BrettWorth> I'm just doing something daring: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a --force
[15:05] <BrettWorth> I may live to regret it...
[15:05] <phiscribe> your gonna clean install, im a fortune teller
[15:06] <BrettWorth> :-)
[15:06] <BrettWorth> Why do I always do things like this when I'm 15,000 ks from home...???
[15:07] <kantlivelong> BrettWorth: i ask myself the same sometimes
[15:07] <BrettWorth> Like here: 40.095266, -88.241917
[15:08] <BrettWorth> If I suddenyl drop offline then you'll know the dpkg-reconfigure went badly.

[15:09] <metx> hello
[15:09] <BrettWorth> hello!
[15:09] <jblp> hi
[15:09] <metx> i'm recieving an issue when running a deluge session in a non root user
[15:10] <metx> anyone could help, i'll paste the issue
[15:10] <metx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1164586/
[15:10] <yashas> kantlivelong: how to move a file from a  user account to /usr/local folder
[15:10] <metx> i've read about the --diplay option, but i'm can't understand it clear
[15:11] <kantlivelong> yashas: mv?
[15:12] <dstevens> yashas: sudo mv testing.txt /usr/local/.
[15:12] <metx> I'll be pleased is anyone could manage to explain the issue, probably is not too complex
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> metx: are you sshing to the system?
[15:12] <yashas> kantlivelong: ok
[15:12] <metx> yes
[15:12] <BrettWorth> metx: Are you trying to run  this on a remote system?
[15:12] <yashas> thanks again,
[15:12] <metx> yes
[15:12] <BrettWorth> You need to use -X on ssh
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> metx: did you connect with:  ssh -X user@server
[15:13] <metx> No, I'm not
[15:13] <BrettWorth> You need to the "-X" to get X11 forwarding.
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> metx: that's qwhy, there is no X server for the app to stick to
[15:13] <metx> heh, is the problem?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> metx: you do know that deluge has a web interface
[15:13] <BrettWorth> Yes.
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> metx: you can manage deluge remotely using a web browser..
[15:13] <metx> [ActionParsnip] yes, but i'm having troubbles also with it
[15:14] <yashas> kantlivelong: how to add a user in sudoers list?
[15:14] <metx> I though deluge was giving problems, due to the timeout in web ui
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> metx: you need to connect with the -X option (note capital X), so that GUI apps can run
[15:14] <metx> then, I'll try
[15:14] <metx> ty ActionParsnip
[15:14] <chrisjlee^work> Anyone else ever encounter having low sound issues?
[15:15] <BrettWorth> Yep.  pavucontrol is your friend.
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> chrisjlee^work: is the system a latop or deskto? Which release? what sound chip?
[15:15] <chrisjlee> BrettWorth ActionParsnip - tried that and alsamixer
[15:15] <chrisjlee> ActionParsnip 12.04 - how do you find the chip?
[15:16] <notwo> ActionParsnip  I am in usr/share/application, how can I change the default icon here of eclipse for instance?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> chrisjlee: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> notwo: applications, not application
[15:16] <notwo> ah
[15:16] <njr0> Does anyone know where the

[15:17] <chrisjlee> ActionParsnip http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=de7e2bfb645f4fa5c2687ad6742d7ccdfb8fe6ec
[15:17] <njr0> (sorry)
[15:17] <notwo> ActionParsnip ye sorry applications, I am their I typed it incorrectly here
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> notwo: if you run:  ls   in that folder, you will see the files, you can open them in your favourite text editor (with gk/sudo) and change the Icon=  line, that will change the icon. You should use absolute paths to the file you want to use
[15:18] <notwo> ok
[15:18] <notwo> so I can edit the application as a plain file
[15:18] <njr0> Does anyone know where the MactelSupportTeam tend to hang out on IRC? I tried following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation to create a Dual-boot Mac over the last couple of days, and though I got it working, a lot of the information there is quite out of date.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> chrisward: if you run:  alsamixer   are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> notwo: yes, thats all they are
[15:18] <chrisward> ._.
[15:19] <chrisward> can I help you ActionParsnip? o.o
[15:19] <njr0> The page seems to be immutable, so I don't even have the option of trying to update it (and I think it might be better if someone who knew a bit more did it anyway.)
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> chrisward: sorry, tab-fail
[15:19] <chrisward> okay xD
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> chrisjlee: if you run:  alsamixer   are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[15:19] <chrisjlee> actionparsnip: yeah to the max
[15:20] <chrisjlee> actionparsnip: should the next step be to install the latest alsa drivers?
[15:20] <Zentaur> hello
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> chrisjlee: sure, there is a PPA
[15:20] <chrisjlee> actionparsnip: oh thank goodness.
[15:20] <chrisjlee> actionparsnip: i was trying to download and make it
[15:20] <notwo> ActionParsnip: It sais Icon=eclipse , in what directory is this referenced to? is it an alias to a path?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> chrisjlee: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     wait 10 seconds then reboot
[15:21] <chrisjlee> thanks
[15:21] <Zentaur> I have a netbook (asus eeepc 1011px) with 2 gb ram, dual core intel atom.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> notwo: there is a path where the icons live, I'm not sure where it is but you can give a full path and it will work
[15:22] <Zentaur> I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 right now. Would you recomend me to crypt my /home?
[15:22] <notwo> ActionParsnip: thanx
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: if you take it out and about then it helps with security, other wise I wouldn't bother
[15:22] <Zentaur> would it use more resources or sorten the battery time?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> notwo: if the app gets updated, it may overwrite your effort, you could copy the file and change the copy
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: not as far as I am aware
[15:23] <chrisjlee> Thanks actionparsnip!
[15:24] <Zentaur> ActionParsnip, I will trevel around some countries with it
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: then i'd encrypt it
[15:25] <Zentaur> Tnaks ActionParsnip I installed it before and the fan was always runing. I could fry egs over the laptop. It is really hot

[15:26] <Orpheon> For some reason, my Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit suddenly stopped having any kind of wired network connection, any kind of sound port connection (Pulseaudio can't even start anymore), any kind of external hardware connection and can't shut down on it's own (perpetual black screen, but CPU keeps running)
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: do you have hybrid video hardware (intel and nvidia) etc?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Orpheon: if you boot to an older kernel, is it ok?
[15:27] <Orpheon> ActionParsnip, I'll try that

[15:31] <yashas> MonkeyDust: thanks
[15:32] <ninjai> how can I turn off syslog?
[15:32] <Zentaur> ActionParsnip, do you think that the heat could be produced due to a bad configuration of the intel gpu 3100 grapic card?

[15:40] <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 ?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Sant_Nicolau: sure
[15:42] <Sant_Nicolau> ActionParsnip, I tried using AptonCD but it is too cumbersome, is there another approach ?
[15:43] <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 :)
[15:45] <jrr> is there an important difference between ubuntu's ability to run remote X apps and other x servers?
[15:47] <dgsafewright> any suggestions on upgrading from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.04.1?
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> dgsafewright  sudo apt-getupdate;sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> dgsafewright  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:48] <dgsafewright> thank you
[15:48] <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] <Bennit> Hi
[15:49] <Silence_of_Lofti> hi
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  so you want identical pc's, mirrors, so to say?
[15:50] <pshuk> hi
[15:50] <nikel> wheres program menu in 12.04
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> !clone > Sant_Nicolau
[15:52] <pshuk> fdisk -l gives nothing
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> pshuk  it's sudo fdisk -l
[15:52] <pshuk> but there are 4 HDDs.
[15:53] <pshuk> yea I tried sudo fdisk -l
[15:53] <pshuk> and nothing
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> pshuk  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here -- better install 12.04
[15:54] <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.
[15:56] <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.
[15:57] <pshuk> Monkey.... can't get 12.04 as it is not for my softwares
[15:57] <pshuk> so have to get 10.04
[15:58] <Sant_Nicolau> pshuk, Were your HDDs accessible before on 10.04 ?
[15:59] <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] <bieb> if I want to add desktop launchers to every new user that gets created.. do they go in /etc/skel? or /etc/skel/Desktop?
[16:00] <just4fun> how do i install flash plugin under ubuntu
[16:00] <just4fun> ?
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  does that make sense?
[16:00] <Sant_Nicolau> MonkeyDust, I assume your a 'guru' in Linux but I'm new here, could you break that down a little, please ?
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  not a guru, i just have no life ;)
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  ln means link, ln -s means symbolic link
[16:01] <Sant_Nicolau> just4fun, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  try ln -s /var/cache/apt/archives/ [your other pc]
[16:03] <just4fun> invalid operation
[16:03] <just4fun> is ubuntu 8.04
[16:03] <Sidewinder1> Hardy?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> !8.04
[16:04] <Sant_Nicolau> MonkeyDust, Could you give an example ? Can I " ln -s /var/cache/apt/archives/ //Home-PC/var/cache/apt/archives " ?
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> Sant_Nicolau  try it
[16:05] <Sant_Nicolau> just4fun, It is recommended you install Ubuntu 12.04, as your current release in unsupported.
[16:06] <thecomputerguy1> please help me out i get this error This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i586 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. while i am installing backtrack 5 in virtual box..
[16:06] <Sant_Nicolau> MonkeyDust, thanks, fo your help.
[16:06] <Zentaur> would you recomend me to use the following partition scheme for my netbook?
[16:06] <Zentaur> 1gb swap + 20gb / Ext4 + rest of Gb /home ext4?
[16:06] <Sant_Nicolau> thecomputerguy1, Use the 32 bit version of Ubuntu.
[16:07] <Sant_Nicolau> thecomputerguy1, Use the 32 bit version of Backtrack.
[16:07] <thecomputerguy1> Sant_Nicolau: thank you for the reply will 64-bit operating system will not run in virtual box?
[16:07] <prateek> hey
[16:07] <MonkeyDust> thecomputerguy1  is it backtrack? if yes, type /join #backtrack-linux
[16:07] <thecomputerguy1> MonkeyDust: yes it is backtarck
[16:08] <thecomputerguy1> thank you
[16:08] <Ephexeve> is it my impression or Ubuntu 12.10 hasn't got the bar anymore? Is it back to gnome 2?
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> Ephexeve  ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:08] <Sant_Nicolau> thecomputerguy1, I am not sure, but good luck in finding out.

[16:16] <JacquesBH> All my dependencies are broken I think...
[16:16] <desjade> hello

[16:16] <JacquesBH> Impossible to reinstall php5, mysql...
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  try sudo apt-get -f install      -f means fix
[16:17] <Mailman> I was wondering if I could get some advice on a netbook to buy and install Ubuntu on.
[16:17] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: it doesn't
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> pastebin the error logs for the channel if any JacquesBH
[16:18] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: it says : 0 0 0 . All is up to date
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> Mailman: should work on most of them
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> Mailman  ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, also type !hardware

[16:20] <desjade> Hmm first time using IRC
[16:20] <desjade> really confused
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> read what the bot said...
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  you're lucky I speak frenchn too -- try sudo apt-get update, first
[16:20] <confused> i'm installing apache2 passenger mod using ruby enterprise but i'm getting this error during install "selecting lib ruby instead of libopenssl-ruby" from apt-get of my missing libopenssl-ruby
[16:21] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: done... same same
[16:21] <confused> everyone on the forums suggests it's an issue with not having universe repos, but i have those enabled already. any suggestions?
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?
[16:22] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
[16:23] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: My god... Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS it's really old
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  yes, technically, it is supported, but why not upgrade to 12.04, if you use it on such advanced level?
[16:23] <JacquesBH> Because it's a dev server... and a lot of repositories on it... I can't break it
[16:24] <JacquesBH> I need to be sure that the upgrade of the ubuntu version will succeed
[16:24] <desjade> Hello, I am trying to use Steam through winetricks but I am having trouble, any help would be appriciated
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> upgrades are never guarenteed ;-)
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> desjade: you mean through wine?
[16:25] <desjade> yes
[16:25] <yatta> earlier I installed bootchart but when i run it error occur
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> Descriptioned: theres #winehq or you can give some more details
[16:26] <shade34321> I have several ubuntu machines mounting NFS mounts. On one it mounts with permissions nobody/nogroup but the rest mount fine. Any suggestions?
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> oops.. i ment desjade
[16:27] <yeats> shade34321: check the uids of each of the users - they can differ from machine to machine
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> i always add thr users in the same order. ;-)
[16:27] <shade34321> yeats: we use NIS so it is the same
[16:27] <desjade> join #winehq
[16:27] <yatta> the error is No path given, trying /var/log/bootchart.tgz
[16:27] <yatta> warning: path '/var/log/bootchart.tgz' does not exist, ignoring.
[16:27] <yatta> Parse error: empty state: '/var/log/bootchart.tgz' does not contain a valid bootchart
[16:27] <shade34321> yeats: well should be the same since it pulls it
[16:29] <watermark> 12.04, 64 bit.  I have a 4tb GPT partition with lvm and ext4.  "df -h" is reporting "56G" in use, but it's a fresh install...There is no where near 56G in use.  Any ideas?
[16:29] <Walther> watermark: ...formatting taking up space?
[16:29] <watermark> Walther: that's total space avaliable, it says 56G in use
[16:30] <watermark> right?
[16:30] <Walther> er, afaik it shows total space as total space and formatting goes to "in use"
[16:30] <Walther> then there's the multiplier difference caused by manufacturers, but that's a different matter
[16:31] <wN> watermark: reserved space?
[16:31] <Walther> 1000*1024 versus 1024*1024
[16:31] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: so... I need to backup all git repos
[16:31] <wN> watermark: use dumpe2fs to check out whats in use
[16:31] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: then upgrade ? ouch... 2 years
[16:31] <Zentaur> MonkeyDust, thank. I tryed a lot of systems these days. I don't really appreciate a big difference betwwen lubutu, ubuntu or xubuntu
[16:31] <yeats> watermark: you can use the disk usage analyzer to see what's taking up space
[16:31] <Walther> JacquesBH: a clean install could be feasible, just backup everything necessary
[16:31] <Zentaur> so I prefer ubuntu 64 in my netbook
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  is it ubuntu server? if yes, better ask advice in their channel
[16:32] <watermark> yeats: It's a headless server.  du -smh / shows no where near 56G
[16:32] <yeats> watermark: ah - ok
[16:32] <wN> df and du do not measure the same thing
[16:32] <shade34321> is ubuntu not using /var/log/messages anymore? None of my machines seem to have them o.O
[16:32] <Walther> watermark: then it sounds like formatting loss
[16:32] <wN> ^
[16:32] <Zentaur> what about the filesystems configuration?
[16:32] <wN> you lose a lot the bigger your filesystem is
[16:32] <watermark> but it's a fresh install...56G?
[16:33] <Walther> well 4TB of disk space
[16:33] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  point is, i'm reluctant to advice other people on how to upgrade, i don't want to say 'du n'importe quoi'
[16:33] <Zentaur> ext 4, ext3 or any other?
[16:33] <Walther> that's a plenty of magical numbers the filesystem has to hold
[16:33] <watermark> ext4
[16:33] <Walther> as in, the partition table
[16:33] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: sorry I don't understand...
[16:33] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: I think I can upgrade the distrib no?
[16:33] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: after backups...
[16:34] <Zentaur> ok thanks a lot for a clear answer watermark  :)
[16:34] <Walther> JacquesBH: You *could*, but it can go wrong.
[16:34] <watermark> I'd expect a bit of lose...but that's too crazy
[16:34] <Walther> JacquesBH: Upgrades can be silly.
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  backups are always a good idea
[16:34] <yashas> what is the future of gaming in ubuntu?

[16:37] <fellipe> hi, I tried to install xc-tools (xen client tools cd) but I had many problems and decided to rollback. However, now I can't do apt-get update or install or remove any package, due this pending problem. So, how to "reset" this status and use apt-get normally?
[16:38] <yatta> Walther, okay
[16:38] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: how list all packages installed?
[16:38] <Walther> watermark: yeah, that's your 56G right there plus or minus conversions
[16:38] <wN> watermark: plus you have to take into account journal size and things like that
[16:39] <watermark> I understand losing a bit of space to that, but 56G was excessive...The reserved space makes since, I'll look into that. Thanks a bunch
[16:39] <shane_> how do i choose a skin for mplayer on ubuntu 12.04?
[16:39] <wN> watermark: if it makes you feel better, that space is not actually in use. its only used when there is a problem elsewhere on the fs
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  dpkg -l|grep ii
[16:40] <shade34321> Is there anyway to see how to computers installs are different?

[16:41] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  dpkg -l|grep ^ii
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> is even better

[16:52] <johnjacobjingerh> so i'm considering installing Ubuntu to my ASUS Transformer tablet... has anyone here done this before?
[16:52] <kantlivelong> but apparently i am on it
[16:52] <kantlivelong> lol

[16:54] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: I removed bad packages and I reinstalled. It seems to be ok....
[16:54] <kantlivelong> i cant even remember why i wanted 12.04.1 :/
[16:54] <osiris> anything to watch out for doing a upgrade to the new lts on a remote server ? I will be going from lts to lts.
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  great, share with the channel how you did it
[16:54] <gisty2012> ah ok I see, there is a solution. But I dont understand much about the command lines . like how to I command for the exact file in question etc??
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  you just said it :)
[17:00] <JacquesBH> MonkeyDust: thanks a lot. I success back it works... but not upgrated... I'm going to talk with my boss about that
[17:01] <tech1> im trying to get sound working on dwarf fortress, but i get the error "dynamically loading the openal library failed, disabling sound" ... i tried "apt-get install openal" but it says unable to locate package and i cant find a linux installer on the openal site(only mac there)... does anyone know how i can get openal working?
[17:01] <gisty2012> ok well I copied the command line Wilee and I figured input.mp4 meant filename .mp4 so I changed "input" tothe filename and hit enter . this is what I got back      *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***

[17:03] <mees> Hey all. Is there a program that allows me to extract metadata from any file using ubuntu?
[17:04] <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 ?
[17:06] <mees> Hey all. Is there a program that allows me to extract metadata from any file using ubuntu?
[17:06] <nnkh> mees, file give you a guess of what file you passed it.
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> JacquesBH  my pleasure :)
[17:07] <ThinkT510> wildcard-ger: yes, you will need to restore grub
[17:07] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | wildcard-ger
[17:07] <mees> nnkh: I don't understand what you mean
[17:08] <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 ?
[17:09] <ThinkT510> wildcard-ger: sure, gparted from a livecd/usb
[17:09] <Canuckian> ok, heres a grub question for you.... I triple boot a windows and 2 linux...unfortunately my lesser used testing linux has taken over grub... how do i retaek control of grub2 with my ubuntu?

[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?
[17:10] <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 ?
[17:11] <Walther> !wubi | ^BMP^
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <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.
[17:15] <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.
[17:16] <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] <Walther> ^BMP^: well you could go for 12.10 ;)
[17:17] <^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 :)
[17:18] <^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] <MonkeyDust> ^BMP^  no ranting here please, this is the support channel
[17:18] <opensshd> ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 4194990
[17:18] <^BMP^> tell me know b... how to make work for 12.04 ???
[17:19] <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] <wildcard-ger> wilee-nilee, hehe okay
[17:19] <Preed> WHere do I download ubuntu for android, and how can I find out if my phone is compatible?
[17:19] <Preed> theres not a single link to download it at ubuntu.com

[17:20] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone if I have an AMD FX-4100 CPU with 4GB DDR3 and a 970 chipset, and a Corsair Force 3 SSD would either the latest Ubuntu or Mint work better than Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:20] <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] <psichas> ^BMP^, i want more informamation what you did that ubuntu just would work?
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> Preed  start here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[17:20] <Preed> well, is it doable?
[17:20] <Preed> I started there.. went through it all
[17:20] <Walther> Preed: it's not public that i know of
[17:20] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone if I have an AMD FX-4100 CPU with 4GB DDR3 and a 970 chipset, and a Corsair Force 3 SSD would either the latest Ubuntu or Mint work better than Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:20] <opensshd> anyone help with mount issue in quantal?
[17:20] <Preed> I dont care.. where can I get it? :D
[17:20] <^BMP^> where look this  driver boot menu  ??????
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> opensshd  type /join #ubuntu+1
[17:21] <wilee-nilee> wildcard-ger, That is really my goal here is to not leave you standing if you have a problem in windows really.

[17:21] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone if I have an AMD FX-4100 CPU with 4GB DDR3 and a 970 chipset, and a Corsair Force 3 SSD would either the latest Ubuntu or Mint work better than Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:21] <kast> hello everyone, can somebody suggest me to change baud rate for my device
[17:21] <THE_GFR|WORK> kast: no
[17:21] <Walther> THE_GFR|WORK: Matter of opinion to be honest. Although, as the Ubuntu channel, we would recommend Ubuntu
[17:21] <THE_GFR|WORK> kast: we can't suggest you do it.
[17:21] <wildcard-ger> wilee-nilee, ok thanks :)
[17:22] <kast> usb port then ?
[17:22] <Preed> the information about ubuntu for android saying "coming soon" is from jan/feb... why is it not out yet?
[17:22] <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] <Walther> Or equal
[17:22] <THE_GFR|WORK> Walther: equal?
[17:23] <beboj> hi , how is it possible to change cursor color using fluxbox ?
[17:23] <Walther> THE_GFR|WORK: you should get better or at least equal results
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> Preed  because it is not ready yet
[17:23] <Walther> THE_GFR|WORK: just saying that as a disclaimer, lol
[17:23] <savio> hello
[17:23] <THE_GFR|WORK> Walther: thanks :)

[17:23] <Walther> THE_GFR|WORK: also, 9.10 is not even supported anymore
[17:23] <wildcard-ger> wilee-nilee, just again for understanding: i resize my linux from lets say 500 gb to 350gb using gparted. then i make a clone of my linux partion with clonezilla for example. whats next then? i run win7 setup, format disk and isntall it in a 150gb partion and when its done i clone the ubuntu image back into the left 350gb ?
[17:23] <Walther> THE_GFR|WORK: to there might be security issues as well

[17:24] <Thomas__> Hello there
[17:24] <^BMP^> and 11.10 them an idiat
[17:24] <wilee-nilee> wildcard-ger, yeah, you probably will have to change the partition # on the clone in the clonezilla packets to put it in a different partition number is all possibly.
[17:24] <Thomas__> I4m looking for some help on an issue with wuantal apt-get...
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> ^BMP^  stop ranting and mind your language
[17:25] <wilee-nilee> easily done, I have had to do that at times I reload to a different partition number wildcard-ger

[17:26] <marsje> I had it before and someone told me to delete a file and then it worked, but I forgot what
[17:27] <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 ?
[17:28] <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
[17:29] <lab> Sorry to ask again, Is there anyone familiar with this problem ? cause all the web and forums solutions I found, couldn't make it work on my system.

[17:29] <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
[17:30] <luftikuss> mees: What kind of metadata?
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> mees  try exif
[17:30] <mees> luftikuss: well from .dem files
[17:31] <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] <wildcard-ger> wilee-nilee, ah okay
[17:32] <wildcard-ger> wilee-nilee, okay got all i need. thanks for your patience and you very good help :)

[17:53] <alexi5> ThinkT510: what is the max resolution of your T510 ?
[17:53] <ThinkT510> alexi5: sadly 1366x768
[17:54] <alexi5> ThinkT510: I am think of getting  a T520 with 1600x900 resolution and wondering if the text will be too small on it ?
[17:55] <W4sp> ThinkT510: PMFJI. Do you need to set xorg.conf for 1360x768 or can you have 1366x768?
[17:55] <ThinkT510> W4sp: max res automatically
[17:55] <W4sp> ThinkT510: Thanks for the info. :-)
[17:56] <ThinkT510> W4sp: mine only has the nvidia card

[17:59] <livino> I haven't found much info on the web
[17:59] <alexi5> do any of you guys run ubuntu on a 15 inch display at 1600 x900  ?
[18:00] <ThinkT510> livino: given how new it is there are likely teething problens
[18:01] <livino> I figured ThinkT510. But the original X1 was fully supported, so I had high hopes for the newer version.
[18:02] <livino> I'm on the market for a new laptop but I need to run Ubuntu.
[18:02] <livino> Any ultrabooks that are fully supported?
[18:03] <ThinkT510> livino: stay away from optimus or hybrid graphics

[18:04] <ThinkT510> livino: yes
[18:04] <livino> I take it that Linux still doesn`t toggle between two GPUs depending on the load then?
[18:05] <alexi5> ThinkT510: what issues are  experienced with optimus and hybrid graphics ?
[18:05] <ThinkT510> alexi5: the manufacturers only release drivers for windows and mac
[18:06] <alexi5> ok
[18:06] <ikonia> 441/window 37
[18:06] <ThinkT510> alexi5: it will likely be quite a while until kernel suppirt will be up to scratch
[18:06] <ikonia> ughh, sorry, terrible lag
[18:06] <livino> ATI used to support Linux. At least they came out with proprietary drivers.
[18:07] <livino> I don't mind proprietary blobs as long as everything works. :-)
[18:07] <alien64> livino: ATI does im runn there proprietary driver atm
[18:08] <livino> Anyway thanks for your answers. Guess I'll hold on til there's more info on the X1 Carbon. It's a pity though.
[18:09] <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
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <cristian_c> *quit = 15-- 00%116 has quit 15(09%215)
[18:13] <cristian_c> *quit2 = 15-- 00%116 has quit
[18:14] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, any ideas?
[18:14] <alien64> cristian_c: this isnt the channel for this question...
[18:14] <cristian_c> alien64, what is the right channel?
[18:15] <alien64> prolly the chan for the client you are using or google
[18:17] <cristian_c> alien64, what's the client channel?
[18:17] <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)
[18:18] <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] <LoT> bekks:  specific bugfixes not yet in the Precise kernel
[18:18] <bekks> damien: Yes. No chance, to be exact.
[18:18] <mrgt_> Anyone know what to do?
[18:18] <LoT> bekks:  *significant* bug fixes that are in Quantal but not the Precise kernel
[18:18] <Canuckian> mrgt, which ubuntu do you use?
[18:18] <bekks> LoT: Which one, e.g.?
[18:19] <borkdox> hi!  Does anyone have any clue why adding www-data an user's group will prevent ssh with authorized_keys from working for that user?
[18:19] <smt> hi all, is there a way to use different display managers on a multiseat system (e.g. gdm on one seat (2 displays here) and kdm on another seat)?
[18:19] <mrgt_> Canuckian, ubuntu 11.04
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  what irc client do you use?
[18:20] <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)
[18:21] <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?
[18:22] <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.
[18:23] <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 ?
[18:24] <bekks> damien: NOT possible.
[18:24] <bekks> damien: There is NO way to use a software based mirror in linux AND in windows.
[18:25] <mrgt_> usr13, my mistake it's 11.10
[18:26] <damien> what is the mdadm packet for then ?
[18:26] <bekks> damien: For creating a _linux_-based software RAID. NOT for creating a software raid that can be used by windows too.
[18:26] <LoT> bekks:  where can i find the vanilla kernel code/VCS
[18:27] <usr13> mrgt_: _______ 11.10?
[18:27] <bekks> LoT: www.kernel.org
[18:27] <usr13> mrgt_: lsb_release -d
[18:27] <LoT> bekks:  right, that's timing out on changelogs...
[18:27] <mrgt_> usr13, Ubuntu 11.10
[18:27] <bekks> LoT: The changelog links work fine here.
[18:28] <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.
[18:29] <usr13> mrgt_: Do the others work?  Like Alt-Tab ?
[18:29] <usr13> mrgt_: Alt-F9
[18:30] <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  ?
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <bekks> damien: Well, face it, that how things work :)
[18:32] <mrgt_> usr13, nope that didn't work
[18:34] <usr13> mrgt_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/79646/keyboard-shortcuts-arent-working-in-gnome-shell
[18:34] <sandun> what is the difference between gnome shell and other shells?
[18:34] <AndrewX192> Is there a way to hide filesystems from being listed in the left column of nautilus?
[18:35] <usr13> mrgt_: mv ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/global_keybindings ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/global_keybindings-old
[18:35] <Jas> hii all
[18:35] <LoT> bekks:  are you on the kernel team...?
[18:36] <bekks> LoT: Nope.
[18:36] <bekks> LoT: I am just a plain user who compiles his own kernels :)
[18:36] <LoT> :P
[18:36] <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 !
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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?
[18:39] <bekks> damien: Whats on those three partitions?
[18:40] <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"?
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <sandun> designbybek_ : you have to give the vga parameter to the kernel.
[18:42] <sandun> this is happened to my android phone.
[18:43] <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] <sandun> well edit the menu.lst file on your /boot/grub/
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <bekks> !grub2
[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.
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <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] <Oli> Anybody here know when in the boot process Pulseaudio is loaded? Specifically. I want to edit the command that is called.
[18:49] <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] <Mikness> CryptKpr, how can I probe to see which sd* it is?
[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] <Mikness> CryptKpr, ah, right
[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
[18:50] <Oli> g0bl1n try running `sudo apt-get purge nginx-full nginx` and then reinstalling it
[18:50] <darkenvy> Hello I need AFP file transfering help. where should I go? (OSX 10.7+ to ubuntu 12.04)
[18:50] <designbybeck_> sandun:  not a very good attitude to have
[18:50] <designbybeck_> no wilee-nilee
[18:50] <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)
[18:51] <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> sandun, your rhetoric is not needed and against the channels rules.
[18:52] <mrgt_> usr13, what command will I put?
[18:52] <jeinor> Hi there!
[18:52] <g0bl1n> ty Oli
[18:52] <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)
[18:53] <jeinor> If I clone a Ubuntu Core disk image, what would I need to change to still have it secure (considering it will have the same private/public key pair for OpenSSH, for example)?
[18:53] <sandun> wilee-nilee: then he have to explain specially how would he except it? for a example a script to automate it.
[18:53] <LoT> bekks:  the bugfix for that bug in the kernel i mentioned is http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commit;h=4fe7efdbdfb1c7e7a7f31decfd831c0f31d37091
[18:54] <TaJMoX> Hi. How do I check my CPU frequency? Usually I use the gnome panel app, but 12.04 doesn't use gnome panel.
[18:54] <wilee-nilee> sandun, Friendly support is all we need is my point. ;)
[18:54] <Mikness> CryptKpr, "ERROR: smartctl takes ONE device name as the final command-line argument.
[18:54] <Mikness> You have provided 5 device names:"
[18:55] <sandun> I'm ready to support, but how could I support without a problem ~
[18:55] <Mikness> CryptKpr, fdisk -l /dev/sda
[18:55] <Mikness> Cannot open /dev/sda
[18:55] <CryptKpr> then thry fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[18:55] <designbybeck_> wilee-nilee: the computer screen will not display even on install unless i do the "nomodeset"
[18:55] <Mikness> CryptKpr, same response for all 5
[18:55] <CryptKpr> and then sdc and so forth until you find the right drive
[18:56] <designbybeck_> i guess I could try to install and edit the grub myself and just skip that step of the training for the kids this time around
[18:56] <bekks> LoT: As far as I can see, that commit isnt incorporated into the vanilla kernel up to 3.6-rc3.
[18:56] <wilee-nilee> designbybeck, I guess you might just make a custom cd that runs nomodeset on a boot for install, out of my area of good help though.
[18:56] <LoT> bekks:  hmm...
[18:56] <CryptKpr> mikness not sure what is going on there fdisk -l should give response if the drive is ready
[18:57] <LoT> bekks:  actually, that's the single-commit for that fix
[18:57] <LoT> there's a patchbomb merge later
[18:57] <luftikuss> TaJMoX: Use lshw
[18:57]  * LoT searches
[18:57] <CryptKpr> mikness when you do a ls /dev/sd* what do you see?
[18:57] <darent> hi
[18:57] <wilee-nilee> designbybeck, Or use the alternative text install, and make sure they know how to insert the nomodeset in kernel with grub after a install, or some script as suggested.
[18:57] <Mikness> CryptKpr, /dev/sda  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdc  /dev/sdc1
[18:58] <Notevision> I've got two operating systems dual-booted: Linux Mint 13, and Windows 7. I'm trying to switch out Linux Mint 13 for Ubuntu 12.04. However, when I try to install over that partition, I keep getting: "No root file system is defined" in the partition manager in the installer.
[18:58] <LoT> bekks:  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commit;h=a2a2609c97c1e21996b9d87d10d2c9ff07277524  <-- that's the patchbomb
[18:58] <designbybeck_> I did try that as well wilee-nilee but i got to a point where it needed to be hooked to the internet and it was. Or at least I couldn't go past one part
[18:58] <osiris> has anyone done a live upgrade from lts to lts on a remote server ?
[18:58] <CryptKpr> mikness the reason you cant open is you need to use sudo w/ fdisk -l
[18:58] <LoT> bekks:  although it may not actually be in the latest stable...
[18:58] <designbybeck_> maybe it was putting in the drive name? I can't remember where my hang up was with that
[18:58] <khuram> hello
[18:58] <Mikness> CryptKpr, used to seeing the error for sudo...one sec
[18:58] <khuram> is warfarin here?
[18:59] <Mikness>  CryptKpr no output
[18:59] <bekks> LoT: Not incorporated until 3.5.2
[18:59] <khuram> i installed dual boot ubuntu previous to this, now i have just ubuntu on a freshly formatted hdd
[18:59] <anicoara> has anyone got Inconsolata to work in their terminal? It looks too blurry for me
[19:00] <LoT> bekks:  ah, so not even Quantal would have it...
[19:00] <bekks> LoT: Correct.
[19:00] <khuram> the problem is that i keep getting and error everytime i double click something i want to download
[19:00] <bekks> LoT: Maybe some 3.6-rc already contains it.
[19:00] <CryptKpr> mikness you do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb and sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[19:00] <LoT> i should probably poke the kernel team then xD

[19:01] <theadmin> khuram: Why are you opening an exe file in an archiver? Use PlayOnLinux or Wine to run Windows apps.
[19:01] <khuram> i thought i installed wine
[19:01] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k
[19:01] <khuram> i typed apt-get install wine
[19:01] <khuram> and it did the whole process
[19:01] <marko__> how do i restart the gnome shell
[19:01] <CryptKpr> Mikness: it looks like sda is a cd or card reader or something since it has no partitions your ssd should either be sdb or sdc
[19:02] <marko__> on a tutorial it says alt + f2 and then 'r' and enter and this does nothing
[19:02] <theadmin> khuram: Yeah, that should be enough, but... Okay, right click any .exe file in Nautilus (the file manager), choose "Properties", find "Open with" and select Wine there
[19:02] <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

[19:04] <designbybeck_> I agree wilee-nilee... I just myself don't know how to do it ;)
[19:04] <theadmin> !info mesa-utils
[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/
[19:05] <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 :)
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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
[19:09] <CryptKpr> so its in a external enclosure?
[19:09] <marko-_-> can anyone help me with this output
[19:09] <marko-_-> marko@shadow:~$ gnome-shell
[19:09] <marko-_-> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
[19:09] <marko-_-> (gnome-shell:11673): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Failed to connected to any renderer:

[19:09] <marko-_-> marko@shadow:~$
[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?
[19:10] <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)
[19:11] <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?
[19:12] <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] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k, thanks for the help. Will be back
[19:12] <gotgnu> running sudo apt-get update and its failing a lot is the repo down?
[19:13] <CryptKpr> Anyone have a minute to help me with a no video problem on 12.04 server. Using onboard video and an A8 APU. Xorg -configure crashes w/ opensource drivers and with frglx drivers it says no devices to configure.
[19:13] <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] <wilee-nilee> update-grub*
[19:13] <luftikuss> gotgnu: There are many reposiories.
[19:13] <luftikuss> +t
[19:14] <designbybeck_> well from what I gather it is the monitor itself... because I hook a dell monitor to it and all is fine
[19:14] <gotgnu> luftikuss: true its failing a lot on security.ubuntu.com
[19:14] <Athen> does /etc/rc.local run as root?
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <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] <designbybeck_> no going to the kids home after the training
[19:16] <theadmin> Speaking of, anyone ever got OpenRC to work on Ubuntu?
[19:16] <Sven_vB> solved the mktemp, the X's must be on the outermost right side of the template
[19:16] <wilee-nilee> designbybeck, Ah, well not sure how to get this working in a easier way to be honest.
[19:17] <usr13> mrgt_: Sorry, was on the phone for while.
[19:17] <usr13> mrgt_: Still there?
[19:18] <wilee-nilee> designbybeck, Good luck your intentions are good, I just have to sign off to do some studying. ;)
[19:18] <CryptKpr> Anyone have a minute to help me with a no video problem on 12.04 server. Using onboard video and an A8 APU. Xorg -configure crashes w/ opensource drivers and with frglx drivers it says no devices to configure.
[19:21] <Mikness> CryptKpr, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1164997/
[19:21] <mrgt_> usr13, yeah. I'm here :)
[19:22] <CryptKpr> sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sda
[19:22] <CryptKpr> it will give you a time to completion after that command
[19:22] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k, 4min
[19:23] <CryptKpr> In 5 min or so when its done: sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda
[19:23] <Mikness> CryptKpr, is my prompt supposed to reappear?!
[19:23] <CryptKpr> yes
[19:23] <CryptKpr> smart is run in the background
[19:24] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k, thx. I'll bug you after selftest, if that's cool
[19:26] <dierot> Hello
[19:26] <CryptKpr> Mikness: BTW It wont tell you when its done. You have to run the smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda after the alloted time has passed.
[19:27] <CryptKpr> Anyone have a minute to help me with a no video problem on 12.04 server. Using onboard video and an A8 APU. Xorg -configure crashes w/ opensource drivers and with frglx drivers it says no devices to configure.
[19:27] <usr13> mrgt_: Ok, well I lost it.  I thought I knew the command but don't.  I thought it was gnome-run or something like that.  Maybe someone else knows?  What is the "Run Command" app's name?  Anyone?
[19:28] <notwo> on eclipse I get a periodic message "Could not write metadata for '/website_1'./var/www/.metadata/.pluginsorg.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/website_1/.markers.snap (Permission denied)"
[19:28] <dierot> I've a help request: I get banned from channels for no obvious reason. Does someone know if it's something I can fix?
[19:28] <usr13> For xfce it is just xfrun4   but dono about gnome.... Anyone?
[19:29] <theadmin> usr13: I *think* it was gnome-runner
[19:29] <Mikness> CryptKpr, haha, thanks! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1165010/
[19:29] <theadmin> dierot: Are you registered?
[19:29] <Mikness> CryptKpr,
[19:29] <CryptKpr> Your drive is good
[19:29] <Mikness> CryptKpr, well, looks like it should be fine, then.
[19:29] <usr13> mrgt_: Try it from terminal,  gnome-runner
[19:30] <dierot> theadmin Sorry what?
[19:30] <CryptKpr> Yeah based on the problems you are having I would try memtest next
[19:30] <theadmin> dierot: I see. /msg nickserv help register
[19:30] <Mikness> CryptKpr, then I'm confused. I have slowdown when I use that drive but no other. Grahics card doesn't matter, either. It'll still lag without it.
[19:30] <Mikness> CryptKpr, how can I test RAM?
[19:31] <CryptKpr> use the memtest boot option from just about any linux live cd
[19:31] <dierot> theadmin It's happening also on other servers than freenode.
[19:31] <usr13> dierot: You don't seem to be banned now, so just don't do what you did before.
[19:31] <theadmin> dierot: You're supposed to register with NickServ the first thing after you connect.
[19:31] <ryan1995> Can someone help me with downloading a game?
[19:32] <theadmin> dierot: It's like common sense on IRC, learn to do so. Many channels won't let you in without NS authorization
[19:32] <Mikness> CryptKpr, and would that be the problem if my system works fine from a USB drive and not from the SSD?
[19:32] <ryan1995> Can someone help me with downloading a game lol
[19:32] <usr13> dierot: Read  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[19:32] <dierot> theadmin urs13 Ok
[19:32] <theadmin> ryan1995: Unless it's illegal, then sure
[19:32] <ryan1995> Its not illegal lol
[19:33] <theadmin> ryan1995: Okay then, what do you need help with?
[19:33] <usr13> ryan1995: That is a rather broad question, (one that does not have an answer).
[19:33] <CryptKpr> Mikness: It could be a controller problem its hard to tell since slowdowns can be caused by so many things.
[19:33] <ryan1995> Its just that its only for windows
[19:33] <ryan1995> And I have xubuntu but want to get it on here
[19:33] <usr13> !wine | ryan1995
[19:33] <ryan1995> I tryed wine but i dont understand it
[19:33] <ryan1995> Im a noob
[19:33] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k, how could I determine if it's a controller problem?
[19:33] <usr13> ryan1995: What game is it?
[19:34] <ryan1995> Its called "Roblox"
[19:34] <notwo> on eclipse I get a periodic message "Could not write metadata for '/website_1'./var/www/.metadata/.pluginsorg.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/website_1/.markers.snap (Permission denied)" , any suggestions on what to do?
[19:35] <usr13> ryan1995: Did you install wine?
[19:35] <CryptKpr> Mikness: in linux your could check your /var/log/messages file for errors after doing heavy i/o to the drive also you could try a different sata port
[19:35] <ryan1995> Yes I have wine
[19:35] <mike092> hey all, apparently the latest nvidia-current is breaking my shuttle x35gt v2 in box ubuntu and win 7 drivers....ive found online to install version 195.36.24 but i dont know how to call it from terminal to install
[19:35] <ryan1995> I dont understand how to use it though
[19:35] <CryptKpr> Anyone have a minute to help me with a no video problem on 12.04 server. Using onboard video and an A8 APU. Xorg -configure crashes w/ opensource drivers and with frglx drivers it says no devices to configure.
[19:35] <usr13> ryan1995: Then just run the game's executable and it will either work or it won't.
[19:36] <ryan1995> How do I do that?
[19:36] <usr13> ryan1995: Does it have an installer?  What file did you download? Is it a zip file?  What is the name of the file...?
[19:36] <ryan1995> Hold on one sec
[19:36] <Mikness> CryptKpr, wow, thanks. And by 'heavy i/o'... what's a good way to do that?
[19:37] <ryan1995> Its called "Roblox.exe."
[19:37] <usr13> ryan1995: You should be able to do it all from the file-manager.
[19:37] <usr13> ryan1995: Just use the file-manager and click on it.
[19:37] <ryan1995> Where is file manager?
[19:38] <confused> does anyone have any idea how i can fix this libcrypto not found bullshit? http://pastebin.com/VtRgWE5c
[19:38] <usr13> ryan1995: Places?  nautilus
[19:38] <CryptKpr> Mikness: you would need to mount one of the filesystems on the drive then you could do dd if=/dev/zero of=/whereyourdriveismounted/zero.bin bs=1M count=1000
[19:38] <luftikuss> [Ubuntu 10.04.4] System > Preferences > Encryption and Keyrings > PGP Passphrases > Remember PGP Passphrases: "A supported PGP Passphrase caching agent is not running." How can I make it running?
[19:38] <ryan1995> Idk one sec
[19:38] <usr13> ryan1995: Alt-F2  nautilus
[19:39] <usr13> ryan1995: Or what ever file manager you use.
[19:39] <usr13> (I use thunar
[19:39] <CryptKpr> Mikness: that will create a 1GB file on the drive then you could check /var/log/messages
[19:39] <auronandace> ryan1995: thunar in xubuntu
[19:39] <Goldwing> confused : apt-get install libssl-dev
[19:40] <ryan1995> usr13: I have PlayOnLinix
[19:40] <usr13> ryan1995: Well, I don't know what PlayOnLinux is.
[19:40] <ryan1995> Its similar to wine
[19:40] <confused> Goldwing: lemme give that s hot
[19:40] <usr13> ... so you've lost me.
[19:40] <ryan1995> Im just going to uninstall it and install wine
[19:41] <Mikness> CryptKpr, k, just type that in terminal? "dd if=/dev/zero of=/sda/zero.bin bs=1M count=1000" all one line?
[19:41] <CryptKpr> Mikness: NO!!!!!!!!! that will zero your MBR
[19:41] <Mikness> CryptKpr, HA, okay
[19:42] <ryan1995> Which Wine app do I download?
[19:42] <ryan1995> Winetricks?
[19:43] <CryptKpr> Mikness: you need to mount the one of the partitions ie mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 then if it mount you could dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sda1/zero.bin bs=1M count=1
[19:43] <starZ> hi all, do you know if there is any howto for CDM i could use?
[19:44] <Guest35846> exit
[19:44] <Guest35846> quit
[19:44] <starZ> hi all, do you know if there is any cool howto for CDM i could use?
[19:44] <CryptKpr> Mikness: Anyways I wish you luck troubleshooting your problem but I have to log out. I am not getting anywhere on this channel w/ my support requests and I need to get back to fixing a video issue w/ a server
[19:45] <Mikness> CryptKpr, alright, thanks for the help!
[19:46] <starZ> no one is using CDM ??
[19:48] <smarqle> starZ: CDM?
[19:49] <bond_> hello
[19:50] <Goldwing> hey
[19:50] <bond_> i have this exotic tv/fm card here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bona_TV-PCI can anybody help me get this to run in ubuntu 12.04?
[19:50] <theadmin> starZ: Isn't that an Arch thing?
[19:51] <Kasir> what's up peeps, I can't login to freenode using xchat on ubuntu anyone can help me how to troubleshoot that ?
[19:52] <k1l_> Kasir: what means cant login?
[19:52] <theadmin> bond_: According to that wiki, creating /etc/modprobe.d/bona.conf with "options saa7134 card=57 tuner=54" in it should be enough...
[19:52] <Kasir> k1l_, it doesn't connect to the server
[19:52] <theadmin> bond_: Well, it says /etc/modprobe.conf but that's not the right place anymore
[19:52] <k1l_> Kasir: does it state an errormsg?
[19:52] <raub> Can I do something like update-rc.d -f monkey defaults but only enable the stop side?
[19:53] <jimi_> Can someone recommend an ftp client that can do ssl
[19:53] <theadmin> jimi_: FileZilla?
[19:53] <Goldwing> jimi_ filezila
[19:53] <Goldwing> +l
[19:53] <Kasir> K1ll_, Not sure I am on windows now but it keeps trying to connect also i tried to connect using pidgin and the same happens
[19:53] <jimi_> ty
[19:54] <bond_> theadmin, ok, do i have to reboot?
[19:54] <theadmin> bond_: Well, yeah, probably.
[19:54] <theadmin> Kasir: Is your network up, that is, does, say, Firefox work? Can you ping CERN? etc
[19:54] <firesofmay> Hi, trying to install emacs on ubuntu but getting this error. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[19:54] <firesofmay>  emacs-snapshot : Depends: emacs-snapshot-bin-common (= 2:20120807-1~ppa1~precise1) but it is not going to be installed
[19:54] <firesofmay> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[19:55] <firesofmay> any pointers?
[19:55] <raaaamin> hi
[19:55] <Kasir> K1l_' also the same using webchat.freenode.net
[19:55] <firesofmay> autoremove/autoclean didn't work for me.
[19:55] <theadmin> firesofmay: What about "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[19:55] <k1l_> Kasir: is it the same pc?
[19:55] <theadmin> firesofmay: (without package names, simply like that)
[19:56] <firesofmay> theadmin, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[19:56] <k1l_> Kasir: are you sure, that there is no router or firewall device that blocks the ports?
[19:56] <Kasir> K1l_, yes i could browse internet, and yes its the same pc but now I'm using windows
[19:56] <theadmin> firesofmay: Hm, okay... "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold"
[19:56] <firesofmay> theadmin, no output for that command.
[19:57] <theadmin> firesofmay: Bah. Wait. "ppa"... You have third party repositories, don't you?
[19:57] <Kasir> k1l_, Hmmmm, I've just installed ubuntu and i didn't install any firewall
[19:57] <jimi_> filezilla only does TLS
[19:57] <theadmin> firesofmay: Unfortunately, those may break things. Try removing all your third-party repos and running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", then try your stuff again
[19:57] <smarqle> Kasir: you could try some alternatives like irc.freenode.net/7070 and enable ssl
[19:57] <firesofmay> theadmin, I guess. I had installed already Emacs snapshot after partial upgrage its gone.
[19:58] <starZ> smarqle: Cmd Display Manager..
[19:58] <starZ> theadmin: yes it is :))
[19:58] <firesofmay> theadmin, all? How would i remove all the repos? and get them back again?
[19:59] <k1l_> Kasir: ootb there is no thing that blocks irc on ubuntu
[19:59] <Kasir> K1l_ I didn't try those, I will see if that works, thank alot , see you around
[19:59] <theadmin> firesofmay: Eh. Let me provide you with a default sources list. Put that in /etc/apt/sources.list (removing all that's currently there). Also delete anything under /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
[19:59] <smarqle> Of course. Thanks starZ - I never was very good with acronyms :)
[19:59] <firesofmay> theadmin, okay.
[20:00] <starZ> smarqle: did you try it with ubuntu?? or.. no idea?
[20:00] <theadmin> firesofmay: Here's the sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1165057/
[20:00] <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 ;)
[20:01] <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!!
[20:02] <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?
[20:03] <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.
[20:04] <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
[20:05] <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 ?
[20:06] <theadmin> moes: It used to be "sun-java6-plugin" for the plugin.
[20:07] <Kasir> K1l_ still here?
[20:08] <firesofmay> theadmin, copied the source list, removed the dir as you said, ran that command still the same error :-/
[20:09] <tworkin> what package is add-apt-repository in?
[20:10] <Pici> tworkin: python-software-properties iirc.
[20:11] <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.
[20:12] <theadmin> firesofmay: Nope, no idea anymore... APT's errors never make sense much :/
[20:12] <Goldwing> damn.. this is cool, openvpn + bridging..
[20:12] <firesofmay> theadmin,  sigh :-/
[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.

[20:13] <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
[20:14] <firesofmay> theadmin, well you tried and I appreciate that, irrespective of what the result is.
[20:14] <Help-Me> cant get photos from sony digital camera
[20:14] <moes> theadmin, Both the partner and partner source code are checked
[20:14] <bond_> hello again
[20:15] <bond_> theadmin, can you help me make my tv card run? it didnt work out so far. the tuner isnt being set correctly
[20:15] <trism> moes: icedtea-plugin
[20:15] <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?
[20:15] <Help-Me> Please help to connect sony digital camera?
[20:16] <trism> moes: hmm, no, not in lucid, one sec
[20:16] <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?
[20:17] <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?
[20:18] <Help-Me> how too connect sony digital camera?
[20:18] <bekks> bakarat: I am not using gnome-shell, sorry.
[20:19] <Ra> guess the question is, is there a way to access the home directory from a guest account & reset the keyring?
[20:20] <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> ?
[20:21] <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!
[20:22] <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...
[20:23] <bekks> !patience | Help-Me
[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?
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <Ra> theadmin, thanks again
[20:25] <theadmin> kurtwp_: Sure. Mount it like this: mount -t cifs //computername/sharename -o username=your_username some_directory
[20:26] <kurtwp_> k
[20:27] <theadmin> kurtwp_: On older Ubuntu versions, you might need to substitute "cifs" for "smbfs", but the general syntax is the same
[20:28] <surt> Hello, I'm having trouble with x (I think) my monitor's resolution changed to the desktop res, but I have a blank screen. I'm logged into my PC via ssh. Can anyone help me begin fixing please?
[20:28] <kurtwp_> theadmin: running v12.04
[20:28] <theadmin> kurtwp_: Ah, then it should work exactly like that
[20:32] <surt> The problem arose after I opened firefox and had to force-reboot...
[20:32] <Nightwalkerkg> Hi. It seems that i flash won't run on my pc. I have tried many options and i can't get it to work.
[20:32] <Asar> theadmin, thanks, that helped... now that am in, what is the way to reset the keyring?
[20:33] <theadmin> Asar: As for that, I'm not sure.
[20:33] <Asar> this is Ra, btw
[20:33] <Asar> theadmin, well thanks anyway though... really helped :)
[20:33] <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] <theadmin> Anyway I'm off
[20:33] <surt> having the same problem with windows...
[20:33] <Oli> When in the boot process Pulseaudio is loaded? Specifically. I want to edit the command that is called.
[20:34] <jrib> Oli: it's started by upstart.  What do you want to change?
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <dkelson> Given a whole bunch of .deb files in the current directory how can I see what is installed and what isn't?

[20:38] <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?
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <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.
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <adorablepuppy> I am trying to configure my network on Ubuntu Server, but no matter what I do, ping won't respond. I edited /etc/network/interfaces to make eth0 static, and pointed /etc/resolv.conf to google's DNS servers.
[20:45] <MartynKeigher_> but after the gui install....just the command line??? no GUI desktop at all
[20:45] <Goldwing> adorablepuppy : gateway?
[20:46] <surt> trism: http://pastebin.com/UW1UJQjB
[20:46] <adorablepuppy> gateway is set at the external IP.
[20:46] <adorablepuppy> My internet gateway.
[20:47] <Goldwing> adorablepuppy : and are you using a router? or does the ubuntu box get a external IP? (not 192 or 10.0)
[20:47] <trism> surt: yeah x is erroring, can you pastebin x-1.log in that folder?
[20:47] <adorablepuppy> ubuntu box gets external IP. Let me post the info

[20:49] <tworkin> how do i replace dash as /bin/sh? not as my own login shell. `mv /bin/sh /bin/sh_orig; ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh` have any implications?
[20:49] <Goldwing> ok
[20:49] <kedakeda> anyone know how to enable drag with two fingers with an elantech touchpad?
[20:49] <trism> tworkin: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash; but if you want bash, use /bin/bash explicitly (making the command kind of pointless)

[20:52] <MartynKeigher_> anyone there to helpo me with an issue after a fresh install of desktop 12.04 64bit iso?
[20:52] <trism> surt: not very informative unfortunately, is there anything extra in /var/log/Xorg.1.log?
[20:52] <Goldwing> then change the network 192.168.1.0
[20:52] <jrib> marko-_-: see ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[20:53] <Goldwing> you cant be on a 192 network while you get a 70.61 IP
[20:53] <marko-_-> jrib, i love you
[20:53] <bekks> MartynKeigher_: You could take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log too see wether there was some error on starting X.
[20:54] <tworkin> trism thanks. OE is happy now
[20:54] <surt> trism: http://pastebin.com/edcbyPz9
[20:54] <jrib> MartynKeigher_: you never answered my question: did you checksum your install cd?
[20:54] <MartynKeigher_> yes i did
[20:54] <surt> trism: Windows also fails to boot properly, btw.
[20:54] <Goldwing> adorablepuppy and don't forget to change the broadcast
[20:54] <bond_> please can anybody help me get my tv card to run? its a bt 878 card from mentor/bona called tv 99 and i can't find the correct card/tuner parameters
[20:54] <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?
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <Goldwing> you are mixing local network (192) and external networks
[20:57] <dkelson> I came up with this answer to see what's not installed : (for i in *.deb; do dpkg --info $i | awk '/ Package\:/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-cache policy; done) | grep -B 1 'Installed: (none)

[20:59] <trism> surt: any nvidia errors in kern.log or syslog?
[21:00] <lordnynex> jrib, The standard /etc/bashrc configuration for Fedora looks for a file in /etc/sysconfig called bash-prompt-$TERM (e.g.,
[21:00] <lordnynex> /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm).

[21:01] <Joe1> am i supposed to put the install file some place
[21:02] <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?
[21:03] <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?
[21:04] <jrib> lordnynex: /etc/bash.bashrc is the system-wide bashrc afaik
[21:04] <ratcheer> alek66: Study Upstart?
[21:05] <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] <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.
[21:06] <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] <trism> surt: sorry I'm not really sure what else to check, it seems like the module loads fine, doesn't find anything and unloads
[21:07] <zamn> hey i recently edited my grub config and now all of a sudden it seems my graphics driver has gone bad? Meaning, When is tart up it goes to the lowest possible resolution and ubuntu is only using one out of my 2 monitors.
[21:07] <surt> trism: OK, is there a way I can confirm the video card is at fault somehow? BIOS maybe?
[21:07] <lordnynex> jrib, wait what? so /etc/bash.bashrc is not sourced at login?
[21:07] <Joe1> anyone know a force DFU app for ipod touch for ubuntu
[21:07] <Joe1> i was tryin to install vmware but noone knows how to
[21:07] <Joe1> lol
[21:07] <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?
[21:08] <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] <guntbert> Joe1: for virtualization you can use virtualbox - support in #vbox
[21:08] <surt> Maybe static...i dunno
[21:09] <alek66> ratcheer: this will make an app to be control like service APP start/stop/restart
[21:10] <k1l_> Joe1: the problem with the newest ipods is, that apple changed their software. so you need itunes running in a windows (vm) or wine.
[21:13] <marko-_-> one last thing i want to know. I was able to move the max,min and close buttons to the right side, but when i put an app into fullscreen, they're still on the left
[21:13] <ratcheer> alek66: Yes, I think so. Read the doc. See part 4.2.2: "With the advent of Upstart 1.3, non-privileged users are able to create jobs by creating job configuration files in the following directory"
[21:13] <marko-_-> how do i fix that?

[21:22] <jrib> !vmware | Joe1
[21:23] <jrib> Joe1: I'd also suggest using virtualbox instead
[21:23] <gwaipo> is there a temrinal command to start the desktop?
[21:23] <Joe1> jrib will that run my VMware preinstalled image
[21:23] <jrib> Joe1: no, I don't think so
[21:23] <Joe1> ok
[21:23] <Joe1> well i have a Vmware installer
[21:23] <Joe1> i just dunno what to do with it
[21:24] <jrib> Joe1: follow ubottu's link if you want to install vmware
[21:24] <k1l_> gwaipo: sounds to me like you broke smth. what did you do exactly?
[21:24] <northernen> gwaipo, startx.
[21:24] <k1l_> northernen: gwaipo no
[21:24] <guntbert> Joe1: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player  ?

[21:24] <gwaipo> kll> i added nvidia to repos. updated, then restarted. not it won't open the gui. goes right to terminal from splash screen
[21:24] <northernen> k1l_, it starts X.
[21:25] <k1l_> gwaipo: use start lightdm
[21:25] <gwaipo> ok. one sec i'll let you know
[21:25] <Guest_> k1l_, unfortunately there is not exactly on torrent.ubuntu.com this file
[21:25] <k1l_> northernen: the ubuntu-way is to start the dm, and not the x directly
[21:26] <k1l_> Guest_: because its not the ubuntu file. so this is not supported anyway
[21:27] <jokin> finally.. a linux chat room
[21:27] <gwaipo> k1l_, it's hung up on checking battery state
[21:27] <Goldwing> jokin : naa.. we are talking about pregnant women here.
[21:28] <jokin> figures..
[21:28] <k1l_> gwaipo: im not quite sure what you added to your repos?
[21:28] <Goldwing> hehehehe
[21:28] <mneptok> Goldwing: Ubuntu support only
[21:28] <gwaipo> k1l_, the nvidia drivers repos.
[21:28] <guntbert> jokin: this is not a general linux channel - it is for ubuntu support only
[21:28] <k1l_> gwaipo: what is wrong with the ubuntu nvidia drivers?
[21:29] <northernen> Goldwing, no, this is the Ubuntu channel.
[21:29] <gwaipo> k1l_, i saw one that was newer so i thought to upgrade.
[21:29] <Goldwing> yea... my wife changed her name to ubuntu, and she's pregnant.. do you want to support her?
[21:29] <gwaipo> k1l_, it's my fault for trying to stay on the cutting edge. LOL
[21:29] <northernen> Goldwing, yes please.
[21:29] <jokin> well i have the ubuntu 12.04..lts.. unfortunately
[21:29] <Goldwing> ROFL
[21:29] <jhonatan_> lol
[21:29] <gwaipo> k1l_, anyway we can reverse this?
[21:29] <k1l_> gwaipo: well, now you see that the newest is not the best
[21:30] <mneptok> anyone else? or shall we get back to Ubuntu support?
[21:30] <Goldwing> sjeees... i was just making a joke
[21:30] <jokin> no its not.. lots of bugs..
[21:30] <Guest_> k1l_, no, it is LZMA compressed distribution on the mirror has officially replaced this version on 12.04.1
[21:30] <jokin> thank god for the MATE desktop though..
[21:30] <k1l_> Goldwing: the offtopic channel is the joke channel. we try to help people here :/
[21:30] <gwaipo> k1l_, yes i see that. but how cna we fix it?
[21:31] <k1l_> gwaipo: can you tell my what repo did you add?
[21:32] <gwaipo> k1l_, these are the steps I did http://www.techlw.com/2012/03/install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-1204.html
[21:32] <k1l_> gwaipo: ok, gimme a sec
[21:32] <DanMD> Does anyone have experience building their own Ubuntu-precise kernel from the git repo?
[21:32] <jokin> well i have issues updating anything from the 12.04 lts keep getting the same error message about unsupported packages and it won't update.. soo im figuring on wiping and starting over..
[21:33] <gwaipo> k1l_, if there is a way to remove the driver all together just to get back to gnome then i can activate the ubnutu one
[21:33] <k1l_> gwaipo: "sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates"
[21:33] <gwaipo> k
[21:33] <Motrak> How can I remove the function  that Hud appears at pressing alt, I remove the shortcut but it still appears
[21:34] <k1l_> gwaipo: that removes the unstable driver repo and the packages that were installed from
[21:34] <gwaipo> k1l_, ok one sec
[21:35] <gwaipo> k1l_, ppa-purge command not found
[21:35] <peeps> does output of cron jobs automatically go to any log?
[21:36] <Rajvi> Hi, all a average newbie here: I have only read-only access to my disk when in start UBuntu12.04 in recovery mode,however when i log in to the GUI and then initiated a VT(CTRL+ALT+F1), I have all the priviledges.I do undertsand Ubuntu does not allow direct to login as root.
[21:36] <k1l_> gwaipo: what ubuntu are we talking about exactly?
[21:36] <gwaipo> k1l_, maybe $sudo apt-get purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates?
[21:36] <gwaipo> k1l_, 12.04 lts gnome
[21:36] <northernen> peeps, check /etc/rsyslog.conf.
[21:37] <k1l_> ok, then try installing it first with: "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge"
[21:38] <gwaipo> k1l_, ok
[21:38] <Rajvi> MY question: Why I don't  have the rights to evendelete a file even from my directory when logged it to recovery startup mode?
[21:38] <zykotick9> Rajvi: read-only filesystem perhaps?
[21:38] <k1l_> Rajvi: take a look on dmesg ("dmesg" or /var/log/dmesg). maybe the disc is mounted with "ro" because of some errors
[21:39] <Rajvi> Okay, I will
[21:39] <MonkeyDust> Rajvi  start from the beginning, what are you doing, what did you try before you came here
[21:40] <mvalviar> Hello. I need help. I'm currenly installing ubuntu 12.04.1 and now the installation is stuck
[21:40] <mvalviar> what should I do?
[21:40] <Rajvi> I tried to delete a file from the recovery mode using the CUI I recieved a message disk is read-only.
[21:40] <k1l_> a wait. in recovery the disk is mounted ro ootb
[21:41] <Rajvi> However, when i logged in to GUI and then initiate a VT, I have all the priviledges!!
[21:41] <mvalviar> It says error can't find module nvdia_current_updates
[21:41] <Rajvi> Yup, Exactly in REcovery mode the Disk is 'ro"
[21:42] <gwaipo> k1l_, holy hell was that scary. i'm back in gui. thank you.
[21:42] <Rajvi> Isn't it wierd??
[21:42]  * gwaipo buys k1l_ a beer ro somethign of his liking
[21:42] <ratcheer> Rajvi: It happens to me all the time.
[21:42] <k1l_> gwaipo: no problem. just keep in mind that the latest is not always the best :)
[21:43] <nitrohax> k1l_> thank you again for your help
[21:44] <Rajvi> I can polish my UNIX skills on a VT, but my issue is why i have only 'ro' on my disk.!! on recovery mode!!
[21:44] <IlikeMoose> how the heck do i flash my bios using ubuntu to make a dos bootable cd?
[21:44] <Motrak> one question why does the Hud appear at pressing alt, after I removed the shortcut ?
[21:45] <nitrohax> IlikeMoose> are you trying to update your bios?
[21:45] <zykotick9> Rajvi: that is the default, remount it rw
[21:45] <IlikeMoose> nitrohax: yeah using awdflash but i have no idea how to get that utility and the bios file on a bootable cd using ubuntu...
[21:45] <SolarisB1y> smh
[21:46] <Rajvi> What!!
[21:46] <nitrohax> IlikeMoose> you should just have to copy the bios file on to a cd. go into your bios and then update it from the cd.
[21:46] <Rajvi> Can't belive it zykotick9
[21:46] <nitrohax> IlikeMoose> you can use basero disc burner to burn files to a disc
[21:46] <zykotick9> Rajvi: then don't...
[21:46] <IlikeMoose> nitrohax: is there an option in brasero to make it a bootable disc?
[21:47] <nitrohax> k1l_> yeah. use and learn right. LOL
[21:47] <nitrohax> IlikeMoose> yes. but you shouldn't need it. you should boot into your bios in order to update it.
[21:47] <Rajvi> zykotick9: As a newbie, can i get the cmds to mount in rw
[21:48] <IlikeMoose> nitrohax: i don't think my foxconn motherboard has that option but i'll check
[21:48] <nitrohax> IlikeMoose> it should. if it doesn't i would look at the manual or find online documentation
[21:49] <const_antine> hi, i need to gain root access and i forgot the password. the computer is my property.
[21:50] <const_antine> help?
[21:50] <nitrohax> const_antine> root or sudo?
[21:50] <const_antine> root, nitrohax
[21:51] <k1l_> const_antine: use sudo
[21:51] <k1l_> (which is the ubuntu way anyway)
[21:51] <const_antine> it's for CUPS
[21:51] <k1l_> ?
[21:51] <const_antine> CUPS server needs root access to make changes to conf.file
[21:51] <k1l_> const_antine: there is no enabled root account on ubuntu. so you cant have a root password
[21:52] <marko__> nekam čudno mi dela
[21:52] <marko__> na padu levi klik, pač samo klik
[21:52] <marko__> ne vem opisat
[21:52] <const_antine> sure there is
[21:52] <Kasir> k1l_, Hi I am Kasir from the xchat problem :D
[21:52] <marko__> woops wrong channel
[21:52] <marko__> i'm sorry lol
[21:52] <const_antine> i just logged in as root on another one
[21:53] <IlikeMoose> nitrohax: it doesn't have that option, i searched through the entire bios, the documentation says to update it using a bootable disc and the link to how to make a bootable disc on their site is broken besides i don't think they support linux officially so they won't have any instructions to help me, i'm going to try brasero
[21:53] <jokin> l
[21:53] <k1l_> Kasir: did you find a solution?
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> const_antine  login as root?
[21:53] <const_antine> k1l_: 10.04 here, btw
[21:54] <const_antine> yep
[21:54] <Kasir> k1l_, no but here is what i get http://pastebin.com/C9txqWWC
[21:54] <zivester> Does anyone know how to run vino-server and only accept connections from localhost?
[21:54] <MonkeyDust> is that even possible?
[21:54] <const_antine> su roo
[21:54] <secondside> test your english skills now http://www.voscreen.com
[21:54] <Kasir> k1l_, I'm now connected via webchat.freenode,net and on ubuntu

[21:57] <const_antine> ubuntu way?
[21:57] <k1l_> const_antine: the ubuntu way is the supported way in this channel
[21:57] <Kasir> k1l_ nitrohax, so why i can connect from web chat ? also why I am banned I can't see why
[21:58] <nitrohax> Kasir> this is why you are banned rbl.efnetrbl.org/?i=77.247.181.165
[21:58] <const_antine> you're technically correct. the best kind of correct.
[21:58] <nitrohax> Kasir> and like k1l_ has said. this is not an ubuntu problem. you should contact efnet admins for help
[22:00] <Kasir> nitrohax, K1l_ ok guys, thanks I'll go to #freenode

[22:01] <BishopBlade> hi
[22:03] <roasted> random question - can you rsync data to an NTFS partition?
[22:03] <THE_GFR|WORK> roasted: why would you not be able to?
[22:03] <roasted> THE_GFR|WORK: well, I'm not sure. I wasn't sure if rsync was specifically utilized by any sort of underlaying EXT properties.
[22:03] <k1l_> roasted: yes, but it wont keep the rights
[22:04] <roasted> k1l_: I expected that. I was just curious about physically syncing the data.
[22:04] <pedahzur> Trying to run libreoffice over X over ssh. Remote system is Ubuntu 11.04, local system is 12.04.  It starts on the remote system then dies with http://pastebin.com/QD28Qr7K  It runs fine on the remote system when using a local login. Ideas?
[22:04] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey did anyone SEE my question?
[22:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have linux mint installed on one of my machines and local dns resolution does not work.
[22:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> ideas?
[22:05] <pedahzur> THE_GFR|WORK: can you ping your gateway?
[22:05] <k1l_> !mint | THE_GFR|WORK
[22:05] <pedahzur> THE_GFR|WORK: what's in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[22:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> oops am I in the wrong channel?
[22:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> sorry guys
[22:06] <THE_GFR|WORK> pedahzur: thanks for trying to help, I can ping the gateway and everything on my network just I can't use a DNS name to access the server specifically on this one machine
[22:06] <pedahzur> THE_GFR|WORK: odd firewall rules?
[22:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> pedahzur: ooooh, maybe that's it?  I don't know, does ubuntu have a firewall?
[22:07] <pedahzur> THE_GFR|WORK: Yes, but it shouldn't block DNS
[22:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> pedahzur: I can pull up regular websites, not local DNS stuff
[22:18] <fry> hello peep
[22:18] <fry> need some help
[22:19] <fry> i got an usb pendrive which is UNFORMATTABLE
[22:19] <fry> literally.
[22:19] <fry> i try this:
[22:19] <adorablepuppy> Trying to update a Lucid install to current. Here is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/y3d47eJM
[22:19] <adorablepuppy> I'm getting some errors upon trying to update: W: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[22:20] <fry> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M count=1
[22:20] <fry> to erase the partition table
[22:20] <fry> but dd tells me that there's no device...
[22:20] <fry> wtf?
[22:20] <fry> got any clue?
[22:20] <fry> cmon guys
[22:20] <fry> are you there?
[22:21] <adorablepuppy> Give people time to answer.
[22:21] <jokin> sorry fell asleep..
[22:21] <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
[22:22] <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?
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <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...
[22:25] <fry> northernen, nope
[22:25] <rustler770> fry chmod then
[22:25] <northernen> Mounted through fstab with some special options then?
[22:26] <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?
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <northernen> fry, chown <yourname>:<yourgroup> /dev/sdX
[22:29] <fry> oh, thanks northernen
[22:30] <fry> usually noone is going to tell you the exact command you have to type because noone wants to, but your kinder than the majority of the people i think
[22:31] <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?
[22:32] <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?
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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.
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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?
[22:39] <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?
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <damien> northernen: yes and yes
[22:41] <fry> soundray, lauratika: maybe you can give it back for a new pair, explaining your problem
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <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] <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
[22:44] <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,
[22:45] <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.
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <fry> o_O
[22:47] <jokin> bbl
[22:48] <Vbitz> I'm about to install ubuntu on my HP dv6 laptop are there any catchs to installing ubuntu on a hp dv6?
[22:48] <lauratika> fry: i know *.*
[22:49] <fry> lauratika, i'm surfing the web to try and figure out this odd. I'm curious... o_O
[22:49] <fry> ooohhh
[22:49] <fry> lauratika, we didn't mentioned the sockets!
[22:49] <lauratika> sockets???
[22:50] <genii-around> Vbitz: This fellow had some issues with 11.10 but also some solutions: http://varunthacker.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/installing-ubuntu-11-10-on-my-new-hp-dv6-6165tx/
[22:50] <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] <fry> soundray, thanks
[22:50] <lauratika> 2
[22:51] <lauratika> sockest but, have to say that i try both sticks in both sockets
[22:51] <fry> okay, then you've already tried what i was thinking about right now
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <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...
[22:53] <Guest50131> anyone?
[22:53] <meio> Question: How to change the kernel module of an ethernet controller as being root?
[22:53] <Guest50131> Is the new LTS release of ubuntu stable? Or was it a problem with my LiveCD?
[22:53] <fry> lauratika, right. I'm still searching. Furthermore we may ask you what motherboard and RAM you do have.
[22:53] <Guest50131> anyone able to help me?
[22:54] <fry> lauratika, so you can already check them up and maybe trying searching something more hardware specific.
[22:54] <damien> Laurenceb: hi
[22:54] <soundray> Guest50131: perhaps it was a bad burn
[22:54] <fry> Guest50131, depends on the error
[22:54] <Guest50131> okay, i can link to the error, i posted an image online
[22:55] <Guest50131> http://i.imgur.com/zO7ba.jpg
[22:55] <damien> Laurenceb: your name sounds french, are you ?
[22:55] <jilebedev> Hello -- my screen automatically powers off after about 10 minutes. Where can I turn this off? I've checked the OSD settings on my monitor - no such preference exists there so I'm convinced it's an OS configuration issue.
[22:55] <Guest50131> http://i.imgur.com/zO7ba.jpg
[22:55] <soundray> Guest50131: it's generally very stable
[22:55] <Guest50131> okay
[22:55] <Guest50131> sorry, i was trying to reply directly to you
[22:55] <lauratika> motherboard fry: hold a sec to postr the model
[22:56] <Guest50131> no clue how to use this chat.. ha.
[22:56] <Guest50131> soundray: http://i.imgur.com/zO7ba.jpg
[22:56] <trism> jilebedev: System Settings/Brightness and Lock
[22:56] <fry> Guest50131, unfortunately i have no idea of what your problem might be... for the chat, you can get help typing '/help
[22:56] <Guest50131> @soundray: http://i.imgur.com/zO7ba.jpg
[22:56] <soundray> Guest50131: rule #1: be patient :)
[22:56] <fry> oops, '/help' i meant
[22:56] <Guest50131> ha, i'm sorry!
[22:56] <fry> lauratika, ok.
[22:56] <Guest50131> i'll be more patient. you really have no clue what the problem is?
[22:56] <jilebedev> trism: could have sworn I checked there. Thanks. Feel like like an idiot now.
[22:57] <rypervenche> damien: Le tien aussi66
[22:57] <fry> Guest50131, i'll do a quick research for you now-
[22:57] <Guest50131> okay thank you so much!
[22:57] <lauratika> fry:G31D-M7 biostar
[22:57] <fry> Guest50131, is your live cd an ubuntu 12 right?
[22:58] <fry> kthx lauratika
[22:58] <lauratika> ram ddr2 6400 buffer 1 gb each stick
[22:58] <Guest50131> yes, i just burned it directly from an ISO i downloaded from the Ubuntu website
[22:58] <meio> kernel modules anyone1?
[22:58] <damien> rypervenche: je me connecte pour la 1ere fois sur IRC pour chercher des infos sur ma config ubuntu, mais je suis un peu perdus. Comment c amarche, qui aide qui ici, y a-t-il des "admin" du canal ou est-ce que c'est un peu la foire d'empoigne ?
[22:58] <rypervenche> damien: PM, they'll get mad otherwise :P
[22:59] <Guest50131> let me know what you find out!
[23:00] <fry> Guest50, ofc asap!
[23:00] <Guest50131> ofc?
[23:00] <fry> oops, i meant Guest50131  ^
[23:00] <Guest50131> what does that mean..?
[23:00] <Guest50131> ofc
[23:00] <fry> ofc = ofcourse, next time you'll find useful to use urbandictionary.com :D
[23:00] <fry> (for more terms)
[23:00] <Guest50131> oh jeez. that was obvious...
[23:01] <fry> :D
[23:01] <Guest50131> :D
[23:01] <fry> not so much
[23:01] <lauratika> urbadictionary
[23:01] <lauratika>  :D
[23:01] <Guest50131> :P
[23:01] <soundray> lauratika: I'm impressed you narrowed it down to a RAM problem. What made you try that?
[23:01] <lauratika> well, quite a loooooooooooooot...
[23:02] <lauratika> flash bios, try hd in another pc, try different OS...
[23:03] <lauratika> then try with and with out hd vis usb,... you name it... then the ram sticks and bingo.
[23:03] <soundray> lauratika: you're not one to give in quickly :)
[23:03] <fry> lol
[23:03] <valentin> Hola buenas tardes de mexico este sistema me tiene  encantado, pero tengo problemas con el
[23:04] <Guest50131> merp.
[23:04] <valentin> centro de sofware de ubuntu
[23:04] <fry> !es
[23:04] <lauratika> fry: trust me i was bruning the pc almost
[23:05] <lauratika> fry: some ideas?
[23:05] <fry> lauratika, still searching, sorry :(
[23:05] <SilverFox> I have a file in it with some lines ending with \n and others with \r\n, and I want to remove the \r\n breaks so the lines they separate become one line.  for example: http://www.pastebin.ca/2197937  How may I accomplish this?
[23:05] <soundray> lauratika: I still think you should look at the BIOS setup
[23:05] <lauratika> appreciate that
[23:05] <Guest50131> any ideas for my error? sorry, i'm so impatient. i'm dying to install it. thanks again for helping me out!
[23:06] <lauratika> look for dual you mean?
[23:06] <soundray> lauratika: normally, you'll have some options there for timing etc. -- I don't think dualchannel is the issue here
[23:06] <valentin> hola
[23:06] <soundray> lauratika: I could imagine that you may get it back to work by choosing some more conservative settings
[23:07] <fry> Guest50131, still nothing, sorry, but i keep searching. lauratika: i'm searching for similar situations as yours
[23:07] <Guest50131> okay, thank you!!
[23:07] <soundray> Guest50131: what did you do to bring up these messages?
[23:07] <soundray> Guest50131: just insert the CD and start the installation?
[23:08] <lauratika> flashing bios and also reseting default settings
[23:08] <Guest50131> i clicked on the option to install the uuntu alongside the windows 7.
[23:08] <lauratika> done!
[23:08] <fry> Guest50131, in the meanwhile you could try burning a new cd or installing ubuntu in a virtual machine mounting the iso and verifying that iso works or does not.
[23:08] <Guest50131> the installation worked up until that point.
[23:08] <Guest50131> okay, i'll try the new cd.
[23:08] <lauratika> Guest50131:did give you an error number?
[23:08] <soundray> Guest50131: I think that's a good way. Do check that the download is okay though if you can (md5sum)
[23:09] <lauratika> and start live cd session
[23:09] <lauratika> ??
[23:09] <Guest50131> nope, that's all the screen said and then it ejected the CD
[23:09] <Guest50131> what is md5sum??
[23:09] <lauratika> do you have a usb?
[23:09] <soundray> !md5 | Guest50131
[23:09] <fry> nice one, soundray
[23:09] <fry> :d
[23:09] <fry> :D*
[23:09] <Guest50131> okay thank you!
[23:10] <soundray> fry: ubottu and I have long been friends :)
[23:10] <fry> lulz
[23:10] <y0om4a> how can i check if i have 32 bit or 64 bit
[23:10] <soundray> y0om4a: do you mean what you've installed, or what your hardware is capable of?
[23:11] <y0om4a> what i installed
[23:11] <soundray> y0om4a: try uname -a
[23:11] <y0om4a> i686 is what?
[23:11] <y0om4a> i686 i386 it says
[23:12] <soundray> y0om4a: 32bit
[23:12] <y0om4a> k
[23:13] <fry> lauratika, do you have any other RAM stick available for giving a try?
[23:14] <fry> i confess it's extra weird as someone said. [cit.]
[23:14] <Guest50131> burning the new live cd
[23:15] <passing_ruffian> is there any way to get this USB wifi adapter to work on ubuntu? http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Adapters/Linksys-AE1200-Wirelessn-adapter_stcVVproductId134743390VVviewprod.htm
[23:16] <fry> lauratika, at the moment i only found people who requested an exchange/refund..
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <passing_ruffian> thanks
[23:20] <fry> lauratika,  sad to hear..
[23:20] <lauratika>  :'(
[23:21] <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.
[23:22] <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 :)
[23:23] <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...
[23:24] <lauratika> beer on myslef
[23:24] <soundray> lauratika: that's a good plan, live with 1GB and have a drink to console yourself
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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?
[23:27] <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...
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <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?
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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?
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <lauratika> interesting cause kingston model is different but then why it will work at first?
[23:35] <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   "
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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!
[23:40] <Guest50131> ok.
[23:40] <Guest50131> i'm waiting, but nothing seems to be spitting out or working. but i'll wait.
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <Guest50131> ok
[23:46] <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 ...
[23:47] <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?
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <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?
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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:
[23:52] <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?
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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?
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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] <soundray> Guest50131: paste the checksum please
[23:58] <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.
[23:59] <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...:(
