| jagginess | Drag0nir, you want to share your home folder as a share? | 01:46 |
| drag0nius | no, i want to create symbolic link in my home folder which directs to LAN sharing folder which runs on Samba | 01:47 |
| yoof | where is the "programs folder" in ubuntu? i have trouble finding installed programs | 01:47 |
| drag0nius | theres no such folder in ubuntu | 01:48 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, don't need a symbolic link.. you can use .smbcredentials textfile with credentials and use "credentials=" as an option for the "mounting" rule for that share in /etc/fstab | 01:48 |
| drag0nius | closes to what you might want is /usr/bin/ there are most | 01:48 |

| jagginess | excervo, what's a question? like... ? | 01:58 |
| drag0nius | any idea how good dota 2 runs on wine? ;D | 01:58 |
| jagginess | wine is awful.. | 01:58 |
| jagginess | i'm telling mom.. | 01:59 |
| drag0nius | what to run games with then? | 01:59 |
| bazhang | drag0nius, check the appdb | 01:59 |

| ubottu | drag0nius: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 01:59 |

| bazhang | jagginess, less editorializing please, more actual helpful output | 01:59 |
| excervo | drag0nius, I play Dota with playonlinux | 01:59 |

| hammommah_ | everytime i go to restart or shutdown i get message "gnome-settings-deamon not responding" where do i look to find problem? running 12.04.1 | 02:00 |

| jagginess | bazhang, games is fun.. but not for me right now. | 02:00 |
| jagginess | ^_^ | 02:00 |
| drag0nius | excevro dota2 or just dota? | 02:00 |
| excervo | drag0nius, just Dota | 02:01 |
| unless | I cannot change the $PS1 var value if not root. | 02:02 |
| drag0nius | i guess restarting xwindows while ubuntu is updating aint best idea? | 02:02 |
| MirtheN | leave it up to valve and dota2 will run natively in linux eventually | 02:03 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, not really, the upgrading process can be a subprocess you dont want to kill | 02:03 |
| drag0nius | dota2 is kinda only thing keeping me at windows ;d | 02:03 |
| drag0nius | and maybe notepad++ | 02:03 |
| hammommah_ | ant ideas on gnome-settings deamon not responding? | 02:03 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, if you're upgrading from plain text (ctl-alt-f1, ctl-alt-f7 or f8 to come back to gui), then it's fine | 02:03 |
| drag0nius | nice one, separate consoles just like on server | 02:04 |
| drag0nius | didnt know ;d | 02:04 |
| drag0nius | could i run like separate GUIs with it? | 02:04 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, you can, but it's more trouble than benefitting from it | 02:05 |
| drag0nius | i wonder about one more thing | 02:05 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, there's something called multiseat.. so you can have multi-users etc.. (two keyboards, two monitors).. someone was asking this last week.. | 02:05 |
| drag0nius | would it be possible to stream games from server | 02:05 |
| drag0nius | by stream i mean run the game on server and interact from other comp | 02:06 |
| drag0nius | i saw sth like that over internet | 02:06 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, desura.com is supposed to challenge valve i think, but i tried desura on ubuntu, and the free games are total crap.. | 02:06 |
| elkingrey | I've just plugged my android in through USB and for some reason Ubuntu isn't showing the external drive. It did the first time I loaded the android, but now it won't. How do I locate the external drive? | 02:06 |
| drag0nius | valve is moving to ubuntu | 02:06 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, you can try desura, but you may find it more exciting than i did :/ | 02:06 |
| drag0nius | or at least starts developing for it | 02:06 |
| drag0nius | afaik theres linux steam along with l4d ;d | 02:07 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, yeah.. i heard a linux thing is supposed to come out for it.. dunno what its status is.. i've given up waiting for it | 02:07 |
| nathdep_ | Hello! I need some help. | 02:07 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, this is extremely easy to check out on ubuntu .. http://www.desura.com/ | 02:08 |
| rocknblogger | nathdep_ just ask your question. If someone knows the answer they will help you | 02:08 |
| drag0nius | there sno dota 2 | 02:08 |
| drag0nius | no reason to start it XD | 02:08 |
| jagginess | drag0nius, it's for linux too.. (no need for wine) | 02:08 |
| drag0nius | does it have windows games on it? | 02:09 |
| nathdep_ | Well I just installed Ubuntu after using Windows XP. I have noticed some strange behavior, though. When I boot up my computer, the screens appear glitchy until I get to the welcome screen. When I get there, it is extremely slow (the mouse lags quite a bit). After that, everything is very fast except for a few short periods when it is slow. Also, adobe flash player is a little glitchy, too. | 02:10 |
| jagginess | Drag0nir, i no expert, but apparently there are separate downloads, so you'll have to click a filter on linux-only, and of course there's much less than the other platforms | 02:10 |
| drag0nius | im not really into trying anything new | 02:10 |
| drag0nius | i'm happy with ~5 windows games over last years | 02:10 |
| jagginess | Drag0nir, if desura catches on, then i expect many more games within the next two years with it.. then that means this is successful.. | 02:10 |
| drag0nius | i hope so | 02:10 |
| drag0nius | got bored of M$ | 02:11 |
| nathdep_ | Is there anything I can do that will help? | 02:11 |
| rocknblogger | nathdep_ So you overall complaint is whay? That it's laggy? | 02:11 |
| bazhang | !ot | drag0nius jagginess | 02:11 |
| ubottu | drag0nius jagginess: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:11 |
| nathdep_ | Well I'm just not sure why it is lagging only on the welcome screen . | 02:11 |
| jagginess | well I did say "ubuntu support" before. | 02:11 |
| jagginess | lol | 02:11 |
| jagginess | silly op. | 02:11 |
| Smackbook | oh no, I accidentally added /dev/sda1 to my mdadm array instead of /dev/sda, is it possible to cancel the grow operation that just started? | 02:12 |
| SolarisBoy | Smackbook: you can probably fail it after remove it and add it back correctly | 02:13 |
| rocknblogger | If it's only the welcome screen then is it really a problem? If once you get to your desktop and everything runs smoothly then your oklay, no? Maybe someone else will give a different answer. I would also recommend removing the flash plugin and reinstalling it. Make sure to install from official repo | 02:13 |
| SolarisBoy | fail and then remove it that is | 02:14 |
| === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away | ||
| nathdep_ | Well, I installed ubuntu after using a live CD and for some reason, when I booted using the CD, a screen with white and black lines would appear and then disappear before loading the welcome screen. I'm not sure if this somewhat glitchy behavior is realted tho this. | 02:15 |
| rocknblogger | nathdep_ Sorry without seeing it I wouldn't know. Someone else may answer your question better. Just be patient. If no answer in 30 minutes ask again | 02:16 |
| nathdep_ | Well I also posted a quesiton on lanuchpad so maybe somebody there can help too. | 02:17 |
| rocknblogger | nathdep_ Also don't forget ubuntu forums. It's a fantastic community there | 02:17 |
| nathdep_ | I guess my question is why does ubuntu run a little slower if I ran Windows XP and there wasn't much lagging/glitches? | 02:18 |

| drag0nius | how was it to restart x server? | 02:20 |
| ImperialDroid | nathdep_, its because Windows is so good ;P | 02:20 |
| SolarisBoy | drag0nius: sudo lightdm restart? | 02:20 |
| SolarisBoy | grr sudo service lightdm restart | 02:21 |
| nathdep_ | Well besides the very few lags, I would definitely use Ubuntu over Windows anyday. | 02:21 |
| nathdep_ | I just wanted to know if there was an easy fix to the lags... | 02:21 |
| LiDaR | nathdep_: are you using unity ? | 02:21 |
| nathdep_ | I think so. | 02:22 |
| nathdep_ | Yes I am. | 02:22 |
| LiDaR | nathdep_: install lxde or xfce .. and try one of those they perform way better on slow computers | 02:22 |
| Smackbook | SolarisBoy: i failed it with sudo mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 and it says it failed it but cat /proc/mdstat still shows the reshape moving along... any idea whats happening? | 02:24 |
| nathdep_ | I don't mean to sound like a total noob but how would I go about installing lxde? | 02:24 |
| bazhang | the package lubuntu-desktop nathdep_ | 02:24 |

| nathdep_ | Which command would I use in the terminal? | 02:24 |
| drag0nius | i've set X server to dual monitors with xinerama | 02:25 |

| ubottu | drag0nius: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:25 |
| SolarisBoy | Smackbook: let the device finish adding then remove it - if you were going to add the whole disk no data would have been on /dev/sda1 that was important anyway | 02:25 |
| SolarisBoy | prolly best to let it finish - fail it - remove it and add back the whole disk versus the partition | 02:26 |
| drag0nius | x window did not restart also | 02:26 |
| ariqs | my father just called me p saying that he updated ubuntu and now he doesn't have a selection to choose windows or ubuntu at the selection screen. Happen to know what happened? | 02:26 |
| Smackbook | SolarisBoy: oh man, lol, so I already failed it, can I un-fail it somehow to let it finish? | 02:27 |
| RJ_F1 | ariqs: sudo update-grub ? | 02:27 |
| SolarisBoy | Smackbook: nope | 02:27 |
| RJ_F1 | without using the question mark in the command, that is | 02:27 |
| ariqs | RJ_F1: you think that is all taht is needeD? | 02:27 |
| SolarisBoy | Smackbook: im sure the fail was queued waiting on the rebuild though | 02:27 |
| Smackbook | SolarisBoy: ahh... is that necessarily the case since its still reshaping? | 02:27 |
| Smackbook | meaning does that prove it? | 02:28 |
| SolarisBoy | rebuild/reshape same stuff | 02:28 |
| SolarisBoy | i'd say | 02:28 |

| SolarisBoy | was that just a new disk you were adding? | 02:29 |
| Smackbook | yep | 02:29 |
| SolarisBoy | you should be fine | 02:30 |
| drag0nius | now my left screen went plain white | 02:30 |
| nathdep | I really wish I could show you the screen right before the welcome screen. It does not look normal. | 02:30 |
| Smackbook | ok, then heh I guess I'll keep working on this tomorrow after its done adding | 02:30 |
| LiDaR | nathdep: multi colored squares ? | 02:31 |
| bazhang | nathdep, try out lubuntu yet? the lubuntu-desktop package will enable that | 02:31 |
| SolarisBoy | Smackbook: yea and maybe if it's "stuck" you reboot and take the next best action | 02:31 |
| nathdep | Yes! | 02:31 |
| Smackbook | SolarisBoy: its definatly moving forward...vvveeerrryyyyy slloooowwwlly ;p | 02:31 |

| tacorama | I got irc working in root | 02:32 |
| bazhang | tacorama, is this ubuntu or backtrack | 02:32 |
| Smackbook | should be finished adding in just 20 more hours ;p | 02:33 |

| Newtoubuntu | This intel graphic issue is ridiculous! | 02:37 |
| Newtoubuntu | Only until i adjusted my brightness at the grub screen is when my graphic driver kicked in | 02:38 |
| SolarisBoy | Newtoubuntu: you mean to full resolution? | 02:38 |
| Newtoubuntu | how can i make this stick? ive tried a few other ways with no luck. | 02:39 |
| Newtoubuntu | SolarisBoy: yes i could not get my full res for anything | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | if so that happened to me as well =( its weird | 02:40 |
| Newtoubuntu | well its not that weird, its been happening for years as ive found on fourums | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | no clue dude - it was amazingly odd - my cat actually jumped on my keyboard pressed some odd keyboard combo and BAM res went to full capability | 02:40 |
| Newtoubuntu | i HOPE to god it sticks when i reboot | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | i never heard of it | 02:40 |
| Newtoubuntu | LOL | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | Newtoubuntu: it did for me | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | AFTER my cat jumped on my keyboard | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | Newtoubuntu: maybe you need a cat | 02:40 |
| Newtoubuntu | that is priceless and i have one my friend | 02:40 |
| Newtoubuntu | LOLLLLL | 02:40 |
| SolarisBoy | =) | 02:40 |
| nathdep | I | 02:41 |
| nathdep | whoops sorry | 02:41 |
| SolarisBoy | but seriously i think it only worked when the keyboard combo to increase res was hit.. by my cat.. | 02:41 |
| SolarisBoy | so you can do that to test - but it stuck for me luckily | 02:41 |
| Newtoubuntu | so only until i adjusted the brightness at the grub screen did i get full res, i had to do the nomodeset to even boot up properly | 02:42 |
| SolarisBoy | shame | 02:42 |
| semitones | semitones_tea: where are you? | 02:42 |
| Newtoubuntu | havnt restarted since as id hope someone else would have an answer | 02:42 |
| RJ_F1_ | Solaris, hit me on here | 02:43 |
| Newtoubuntu | ill try soon and hope it sticks. im really starting to enjoy this OS. i mean my win 7 is excellent but has its downfalls. i enjoy the option of multiple Os's :) | 02:43 |
| gmachine_24 | Is there a way to encrypt an external hard drive after I have put data on that drive? | 02:45 |
| gmachine_24 | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 | 02:45 |
| Newtoubuntu | gmachine_24, i know there was software on windows so im sure there is on ubuntu. why are you encrypting may i ask ;) | 02:46 |
| hfic | gmachine_24, I believe you can use truecrypt | 02:47 |
| Newtoubuntu | thats the program i used on windows | 02:47 |
| Newtoubuntu | excellent stuff | 02:48 |
| hfic | It's cross platform | 02:48 |
| SolarisBoy | whammy | 02:48 |
| Newtoubuntu | suhweeet | 02:48 |
| gmachine_24 | I use truecrypt but you must create a partition/volume before copying any files there | 02:48 |
| gmachine_24 | an encrypted partition/volume | 02:48 |
| Newtoubuntu | so why not partition | 02:48 |
| gmachine_24 | Because there already are a lot of files on the drive; I'm attempting to avoid copying them again. | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | with the way encrytion works i dont see that being possible | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | atleast nothing common | 02:49 |
| hfic | you can use a locker. So instead of encrypting the drive. you encrypt the folder or 'locker' with it's predetermined size off the main partition | 02:49 |
| gmachine_24 | SolarisBoy, me either. But I thought I'd ask. | 02:49 |
| jrbergdorff | can anyone tell me how to set up the wifi for my printer....Canon Pixma MP560 | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | in most cases you encrypt the drive from installation create the keys and such and as you read/write things are encrypted | 02:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest83203 | ||
| SolarisBoy | in order to do that it's like a massive copy decryption operation that would require more than one drive | 02:50 |
| === Guest83203 is now known as wodie | ||
| gmachine_24 | SolarisBoy, yes, that is what I usually do. This one just got away from me.. . | 02:50 |
| Newtoubuntu | right | 02:50 |
| SolarisBoy | gmachine_24: cool | 02:50 |
| SolarisBoy | gmachine_24: i was looking for the same =) | 02:50 |
| hfic | ugh ... again truecrypt will allow u to do what ur looking for | 02:50 |
| gmachine_24 | How about this: Can I somehow password protect the hard drive at least? | 02:50 |
| joegiampaoli | I've been trying to find a fix for this but just can't, some websites on firefox (on very rare occasions) display text in an unknown font style what font should I have installed? Screenie attached: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B89XHw6WcgFvY2FuZWNzZVNYU2c/edit | 02:51 |
| jrbergdorff | I am so new and needing a little help! | 02:51 |
| gmachine_24 | hfic: I can encrypt data that already is on the external hard drive; this is what you're telling me... am I correct? | 02:51 |
| Newtoubuntu | So how do you all feel about the cloud? am a little concerned any average joe can | 02:51 |
| Newtoubuntu | whoops | 02:51 |
| Newtoubuntu | any average joe employee can access whatever they like | 02:51 |
| gmachine_24 | Newtoubuntu, I think the cloud is completely overhyped | 02:52 |
| Meris | Newtoubuntu, not if you encrypt your data with a strong key | 02:52 |
| SolarisBoy | i think the cloud has it's places | 02:52 |
| hfic | gmachine_24, you can't encrypt something that isn't originally encrypted. but when you can do is create a locker 'folder' thru truecrypt and move the stuff over. This is the only way you can accomplish your task | 02:52 |
| SolarisBoy | and yes most cloud implementations enforce encryption for access | 02:52 |
| gmachine_24 | SolarisBoy, I would not put anything on a cloud computer I wouldn't want my grandmother to see | 02:52 |
| Newtoubuntu | LOL yes gents i agree | 02:52 |
| gmachine_24 | hfic, right, that is what I thought. I have been attempting to avoid that but it seems impossible. | 02:53 |
| Newtoubuntu | Is the ubuntu one encrypted? | 02:53 |
| SolarisBoy | if you wanted to have a fast scalable deployment with little cost commitment you can use the cloud | 02:53 |
| Meris | Newtoubuntu, how do you know if we are all gents? Hmm? | 02:53 |
| SolarisBoy | most people are incorrectly using it afaik | 02:53 |

| jrbergdorff | can anyone help with a printer issue? | 02:53 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, what brand and model of printer do you have? | 02:53 |
| jrbergdorff | Canon Pixma MP560 | 02:54 |
| jrbergdorff | Meris, I have the printer installed, but unsure how to get the WiFi print to work | 02:55 |
| === hfic is now known as hfic-a | ||
| Newtoubuntu | wifi print is such a pain in the ass | 02:56 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, in that case, just tell Ubuntu you are trying to install a network printer and type the corresponding IP-address. | 02:56 |
| Newtoubuntu | ive had problems with my cannon | 02:56 |
| gmachine_24 | jrbergdorff, what version of ubuntu are you using | 02:56 |
| jrbergdorff | how do I know what the IP-address is, I'm new to all this | 02:56 |
| jrbergdorff | 12.04 | 02:56 |
| Newtoubuntu | oh ish i just seen you had a cannon | 02:56 |
| SolarisBoy | jrbergdorff: sometimes the printers are able to print their network settings to the LED | 02:57 |
| jrbergdorff | k, let me try this | 02:57 |
| SolarisBoy | otherwise if you are able to access your router and it's dhcp clients you may find it there | 02:57 |
| Newtoubuntu | make sure you have the actual wifi turned ON, on the printers settings. should have a blue light lit up | 02:57 |
| gmachine_24 | jrbergdorff, can you get the info from your router? | 02:57 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, most printers will have an option of printing this data by clicking on a sequence of buttons, or holding a button, look it up in your manual. | 02:57 |
| SolarisBoy | gmachine_24: yea but it's likely easier to get it from the printer if applicable | 02:57 |
| jrbergdorff | possibly, my husband has an ALFA box running... | 02:58 |
| Newtoubuntu | the cannons wifi is throught the settings, network if i remember correctly | 02:58 |
| SolarisBoy | my printer did this weird wps thing that was interesting | 02:58 |
| SolarisBoy | luckily my router supported it or i would have been pissed | 02:58 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, Alfa? Nice...so it runs RiscOS? | 02:58 |
| jrbergdorff | k, at the newtwork select device | 02:58 |
| jrbergdorff | yeah | 02:58 |
| jrbergdorff | My husband has a master's in Computer Science, but he's sleeping | 02:59 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, but how does that relate to your router, or *is* the alfa box functioning as router as well? | 02:59 |
| jrbergdorff | functioning as router | 02:59 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, if CUPS is running on the thing and you know the IP-address, this should not be hard, provided you have the proper passwords. | 03:00 |
| gmachine_24 | OK, so I am creating the encrypted file within the container or whatever - it says this is for beginners..... :) | 03:01 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, try: http://[IP-address of router]:631 | 03:01 |

| Newtoubuntu | ljsoftnet: this is a massive problem on ubuntu that i am battling as well. as ridiculous as it sounds on the purple grub sounds try adjusting the brightness before you boot into ubunt and see if the drivers take. literally just worked for me about 20 mins ago | 03:07 |
| Newtoubuntu | Ljsoftnet: of course update all necessary drivers as well | 03:08 |
| ljsoftnet | Newtoubuntu what do you mean by purple grub sounds? | 03:09 |
| Newtoubuntu | ljsoftnet: sorry i meant "screen" | 03:11 |

| Newtoubuntu | ljsoftnet: what did i just say? i wasnt able to get the proper resolution either untill that unreal brightness fix. it instantly worked and self adjusted after | 03:15 |

| johnwerneken | Works on win8! (RP - or is it RC, the install named the partition "RC" lol, the more expected name, considering Microsoft) | 03:48 |
| johnwerneken | Couple caveats for Windows ppeeple (I have been abused by Microsoft for over 35 years lol) | 03:48 |
| johnwerneken | 1. IF you have existing partitions, as I did, you will probably get different sda numbers than in the example: USE THE PARTITION NUMBERS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE in following the excamples. | 03:48 |
| johnwerneken | 2. IF you have NTFS and ext partitions already, you need not re-create them; possibly the only new one needed from GPartition Live might be the FAT32 to copy linux.bin to and from. | 03:48 |

| subcool | gmachine_24, to what? i run software update like daily | 04:24 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, I don't use KDE so I'm a bit in the dark. | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Does this machine have more than one internal drive? | 04:24 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U No, just one 500GB drive, partitioned into 2 250GB partitions, one Windows, one Ubuntu | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, what version or ubuntu are you running | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | *of | 04:25 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, are you using fglirx or whatever module ? | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | because KDE is no longer supported | 04:25 |
| subcool | 11.04 | 04:25 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar:yes | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Try booting from the USB drive you used to install Ubuntu. My guess is that "sda" was actually the USB drive, and that's where grub was installed to. | 04:26 |
| subcool | gmachine_24, KDE is no longer supported in ubuntu? | 04:26 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, have you tried blacklisting it ? | 04:26 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, correct | 04:26 |
| subcool | lol - omfg | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar:how do i do that? | 04:26 |
| subcool | gmachine_24, so what is supported? ONly Gnome? | 04:26 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, fairly recent decision by the head of canonical or whatever | 04:26 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, hold on let me find a tutorial it will disable it for a test | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar: ok tnx | 04:27 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Ok, so if I go back to the USB drive how do I see Ubuntu on the partition? | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | gmachine_24: subcool: KDE is still supported by the community and Kubuntu will continue to exist. | 04:27 |
| Archio | Should I re-install Ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| subcool | Jordan_U, well, im getting beef for a bug report- Being told im running and old version. im running 4.4 - and network manager.. - THis is quite rediculous. | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: No. My guess is that when you tell the BIOS to boot from the USB drive, it will load grub which will load Ubuntu from your internal drive. If it does boot into the Live environment again, then please use the "Try Ubuntu" option and then run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt which it produces. | 04:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Jordan_U is there still a Kubuntu channel | 04:29 |
| subcool | there is never anyone in it | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | Archio | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Archio: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 04:29 |
| subcool | and when there is- they dont answer | 04:29 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/avoid-linux-kernel-module-driver-autoloading.html | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | gmachine_24: Yes, #kubuntu. | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar:tnx mate | 04:29 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, is that what you tried? #kubuntu? | 04:29 |
| subcool | so what do i use to replace network mangaer? The Bug report told me to use Plasma NM? - whats the file name.. | 04:30 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add blacklist fglirx then reboot | 04:30 |
| subcool | i havent been in there lately- its always a headache and smarta$$ remarks | 04:30 |
| subcool | "did u google it" - no.. i farted and used that. | 04:30 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Ok, I booted with the flash drive and picked the "Try Ubuntu" option, I'll run the boot info script | 04:30 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar: would compiz still work after blacklist? | 04:30 |
| yashwant | hi i am using ubuntu 12.02, this ubuntu feature little bit alter then 10.10 so i changed the root permission, i have given 777 now my sudo command is not working what can i do now? please help me | 04:31 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, not sure but im gonna say no | 04:31 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje, it will prove if thats the cause of the cursor issue though | 04:32 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, I don't use KDE on any computer any more so I am out of touch | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar: ah okay good find mate | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | ill test that out and let you know | 04:32 |
| subcool | Jordan_U, ? any idea? | 04:33 |
| subcool | gmachine_24, ya- i know.. sorry, and thanks for helping. | 04:33 |
| gmachine_24 | subcool, np. good luck. | 04:33 |

| Archio | @Jordan_U Thanks for helping me on this, pastebin of RESULTS.txt is here: pastebin.com/SZ0jmTGV | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: OK. Please run "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ /dev/sda" and pastebin the output. | 04:38 |

| octavio-rdz | I just installed (fresh install) 12.04.1 amd64 and I'm having a lot of problems some dependency issues, some other like apt-get tells me a something is installed but when I trie to use it the command doesn't exist ... any idea if 12.04.1 was a bad release? I have 12.04 in other computer and I don't have such problems :s, any idea? | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: for dir in /dev/ /proc/ /sys/; do sudo mount --bind "$dir" "/mnt/$dir"; done | 04:44 |
| blackshirt | Update first | 04:45 |
| blackshirt | octavio-rdz, update your database | 04:45 |
| octavio-rdz | blackshirt: apt-get update? I have done that | 04:46 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, if you updated in the other computer you have 12.04.1 there as well, specificities will be your best bet here. | 04:46 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U I did that, it just finished and went to the next prompt, no output | 04:46 |
| wilee-nilee | you're* | 04:46 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Good. Now "sudo chroot /mnt/" | 04:46 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Done | 04:47 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Now the prompt shows root@ubuntu | 04:47 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: yes I know that.. that is why I thought that maybe the 12.04.1 release media had the problem | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: update-grub | 04:47 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U done | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: echo $? | 04:47 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, your question is way to vague. | 04:47 |
| johnwerneken | sorry for the flood, i don't do irc much anymore, i forgot | 04:48 |
| squarebracket | what's the non-unity desktop package? | 04:48 |
| octavio-rdz | I want to know if there are any other having similar problems or if is there any report about 12.04.1 being a bad release | 04:48 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Do you mean show you the output? http://pastebin.com/uwXsUdkt | 04:49 |
| squarebracket | Calc not working with Unity is freaking ridiculous. | 04:49 |
| bazhang | squarebracket, gnome-panel you mean? | 04:49 |
| === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away | ||
| squarebracket | bazhang, I want not unity, as it breaks a lot of functionality. Like, Gnome 2 sort of thing. | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: I meant to literally run "echo $?" and tell me the output ('0' if the last command run was successfull, another number if not). | 04:50 |
| octavio-rdz | like I said I had a 12.04 update but (installed from 12.04 release media and I have no problems ... but I do have problems when installing from 12.04.1 | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: But the full output tells me it was successfull. | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Try rebooting, but even if it works there is still one more step to go. | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, So who would be reporting I think you miss the point here. | 04:51 |
| Nautilus | is Brasero garbage? Something better in 10.04 for burning DVDs? | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, name the exact problem. | 04:51 |
| squarebracket | sigh. I think it's time I move to debian... :( | 04:52 |
| somsip | Nautilus: xfburn? | 04:52 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Just rebooted, I see "GNU Grub version something" | 04:52 |
| jrbergdorff | @Meris, missed that last message | 04:52 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U And a list of things, I see the Windows 7 and ubuntu installs... that means it worked? | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Yes. Try booting the first entry. | 04:52 |
| Nautilus | somsip: haven't seen that. My problem is that it just took 2 hours to add files to Brasero and calculate their size, and when I clicked on Burn it started recalculating all over again! | 04:53 |
| lidar | squarebracket, debian is fine .. but you could just try xcfe or lxde ;) | 04:53 |
| === Jaaroyz is now known as Jaaroy | ||
| somsip | Nautilus: well, maybe it's worth a try. I find it works, but remember getting dissatisfied with brasero. Can't remember why now thought | 04:54 |
| squarebracket | lidar, yeah, I was thinking of just installing xubuntu-desktop with compiz... | 04:54 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Awesome, booted to the login screen! I'm logged in now | 04:54 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: my first problem was with ubuntuone it just crashes with the error No module named PyQt4 | 04:54 |
| Nautilus | somsip: gotcha | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Great! Now just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and answer the prompts (which I'll give more detail on) and you're done. | 04:54 |
| lidar | squarebracket, it will make you happy like a fat kid in a candy store i bet ! | 04:55 |
| Nautilus | somsip: it's definitely fubar | 04:55 |
| squarebracket | lidar, most likely :) | 04:55 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, Cool that helps a great deal on this channel, I can't really help with that one without looking on google but I will look. | 04:56 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Done, now I see the "Configuring grub-pc" dialogue | 04:56 |
| johnwerneken | grub update is not fast | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: The first two questions ask about the "linux cmdline", leave those questions with their default answer (the first will be blank, that's normal) and continue by pressing Enter. After that you should be asked about install devices, you should choose "sda" and only "sda" here. Select / unselect a device using space bar, and continue by pressing Enter. | 04:56 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: I already installed python-qt4 package but ubuntuone still doesn't work | 04:57 |
| squarebracket | lidar, I guess I now qualify as a linux grump... before I know it I'll be installing fluxbox.... | 04:57 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U "Installation finished. No error reported". Then the whole "Generating grub.cfg..." thing. | 04:59 |
| johnwerneken | Archio: patience, grub.cfg is not fast | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: Congratulations. You're now done :) | 04:59 |
| lidar | squarebracket, im using fluxbox now lol | 04:59 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: then I had a problem with aptitude I install it by apt-get but it just doesn't run it says, aptitude: error while loading shared libraries: libcwidget.so.3 | 05:00 |
| johnwerneken | jordan_U: you are a Good Helper | 05:00 |
| lidar | johnwerneken, he is trying to get a raise! | 05:00 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, aptitude is considered as deprecated, but should work I suppose. | 05:00 |
| johnwerneken | lol. with my nickle he might have $.10 | 05:00 |
| Archio | @Jordan_U Thank you so much! I really appreciate your effort in helping me with this. | 05:01 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: then I had a similar problem with git-svn a dependency problem after installing the package with apt-get .. I have tried use the ubuntu software center and same results | 05:01 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: You're welcome. | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | octavio-rdz, I see various hints at the first error but to be honest I'm not real strong in ethier of your problems. | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | johnwerneken: Thanks :) | 05:02 |
| DarkTomas_ | ChanServlll | 05:02 |
| johnwerneken | jordan_u: yw | 05:02 |
| octavio-rdz | wilee-nilee: ok I guess I would have to go back to install 12.04 and update from there ... I haven't had those issues installing from 12.04 media | 05:03 |

| cute_bettong | does anyone know why this is happning to gwibber? http://pastebin.com/tghXq6fR | 06:31 |
| mathfreak | I do not use gwibber. Sorry. :( | 06:33 |
| lidar | what does gwibber do ? | 06:33 |
| lidar | ah i see | 06:34 |
| cute_bettong | yea i somehow managed to break it | 06:34 |
| cute_bettong | by trying to upgrade to a newer version | 06:34 |
| cute_bettong | and well, that diden't work out so well v.v and now it dosen't work | 06:35 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, using source or an ubuntu package ? | 06:36 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, i got the install from the gwibber website, it's version 3.0.0.1 | 06:37 |
| cute_bettong | i can't seem to get the ubuntu verion of it to work either | 06:37 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, was it a .deb or source ? | 06:37 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, it was a tar.gz file | 06:38 |
| cute_bettong | you have to open it and then run sudo python setup.py install | 06:38 |
| cute_bettong | and it returns no errors when it installs | 06:38 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, did you install with "make install" | 06:38 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, no | 06:38 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, there is no make install in the folder at all | 06:39 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, oh hmm does it have the option to remove .. sudo python setup.py remove ? | 06:39 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, no it dosen't am i screwed? | 06:40 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, little bit | 06:41 |
| mathfreak | is there anything like "sudo python setup.py uninstall" or "sudo python setup.py help"? | 06:42 |
| cute_bettong | lidar, what do i do to fix this? | 06:43 |
| vampirnata | Hello. I've bought a brand new 3TB hard disk and put it into an external enclosure. In windows I can see the drive and format it and it works. I then plug it into my Ubunter 12.04 server and it doesn't want to mount. It hangs the shell. I'm on kernel 3.2.0-29. Anyone know what it could be | 06:43 |
| lidar | cute_bettong, try what mathfreak said | 06:43 |
| cute_bettong | mathfreak, no there are no files in the directory from which i installed gwibber | 06:44 |
| lidar | vampirnata, look at dmesg .. see what errors you get | 06:44 |
| vampirnata | lidar: nothing concrete. Just some sensing errors which I get from another hard disk in the same enclosure. | 06:44 |
| cute_bettong | so um what do i do? | 06:45 |
| lidar | vampirnata, open a shell type sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd or whatever | 06:45 |
| mathfreak | cute_bettong, lemme do some googling. one second please | 06:45 |
| cute_bettong | mathfreak, okies | 06:45 |
| lidar | vampirnata, change sdd to the correct device | 06:45 |
| vampirnata | lidar: i don't have the disk with me, it's at home. But I tried that last night and it didn't work. It's /dev/sde | 06:46 |
| Guddu | Alll :-) Please sugggest a good tool to Remotely enter into a Ubuntu Desktop...Something similar to RDP in Windows :-) | 06:46 |
| somsip | Guddu: vnc | 06:46 |
| mathfreak | cute_bettong, here's a page on launchpad that might help you: https://answers.launchpad.net/gwibber/+question/42891 | 06:47 |
| mathfreak | if you use the command, be sure to double-check everything since it is rm -rf | 06:47 |
| Guddu | somsip, realvnc? | 06:47 |
| lidar | vampirnata, hmm have to plug it in look at syslog/dmesg and look for a error | 06:48 |
| vampirnata | lidar: yah I'll come here again tonight :) Thanks. But as far as you know it should work? | 06:49 |
| cute_bettong | mathfreak, so now restart and then reinstall gwibber? | 06:50 |
| mathfreak | cute_bettong, go ahead and restart. be sure to install gwibber from synaptic package manager | 06:50 |
| cute_bettong | mathfreak, okies will do | 06:50 |
| somsip | Guddu: there are a few version | 06:51 |
| Guddu | somsip, For ubuntu which is the version to download? There are a lot of linux versions listed on the Website. Should it be debian or a generic installer? | 06:56 |
| d1rkp1tt | Unity keeps stopping on 12.04... by keeps I mean, Its a VM so I can roll back the image. But every time I do an update it dies | 06:56 |
| somsip | Guddu: a .deb should work fine | 06:56 |
| Guddu | Thanks somsip | 06:56 |
| d1rkp1tt | Just takes me to login and desktop wont start | 06:56 |
| d1rkp1tt | Anyone else had this issue? | 06:56 |
| lidar | d1rkp1tt, increase video ram maybe | 06:56 |

| Adie | I am looking to compile C++ into a cute lil executible file for my friend to click and open in the terminal all lovey like | 06:56 |
| Guddu | somsip, Is Realvnc for Remote Control? Or Remote Entry like RDP in Windows? | 06:56 |
| Adie | what filetype should it be? | 06:56 |
| somsip | Guddu: I used vncclient and vncserver but that was a shile ago. I uderstand that are different packages that use the VNC protocol nowadays | 06:57 |
| Guddu | somsip, Is Realvnc for Remote Control? Or Remote Entry like RDP in Windows? | 06:57 |
| Guddu | Ooops....Sorry for repeat. | 06:57 |
| auronandace | !vnc | Guddu | 06:57 |
| ubottu | Guddu: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 06:57 |
| d1rkp1tt | lidar, you would think it would error, but it just goes to command prompt? | 06:57 |
| d1rkp1tt | how do you start unity from command prompt... that may give me an error to work with aye | 06:57 |
| lidar | d1rkp1tt, startx | 06:58 |

| drag0nius | meh, how do i run ubuntu on geforce? | 08:36 |
| drag0nius | like half year after release and still same buggy driver | 08:36 |
| marcappuccino | propriatary or open source | 08:36 |
| marcappuccino | drag0nius | 08:36 |
| drag0nius | propertiary are still all the same like before | 08:36 |
| drag0nius | while there were like 10 releases on nvidia.com | 08:37 |
| marcappuccino | what is your card | 08:37 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found <--- is this normal? do I replace stable with next? | 08:37 |
| drag0nius | either gtx 280 or 560 ti | 08:37 |
| drag0nius | since 560 didnt work i tried 280, but is 100% the same | 08:37 |
| marcappuccino | lspci? | 08:37 |
| drag0nius | i've gtx 280 installed right now | 08:37 |
| marcappuccino | ok | 08:38 |
| drag0nius | version is 295.49 | 08:38 |
| drag0nius | most recent is 304.43 | 08:39 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis no it is not normal is this a fresh install? go to software centre and go to Edit > Software Sources then remove that statble ppa and then run sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next | 08:39 |
| marcappuccino | drag0nius no you need the extra performance from the propriatary drivers for gaming or can you afford to just revert to nouveau? | 08:40 |
| drag0nius | i want to run dota 2 at least here | 08:40 |
| marcappuccino | so what is the actual bug that you are experiencing with these drivers? | 08:41 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9BDB3D89CE49EC21 | 08:41 |
| drag0nius | when i go to display i get randr extension not present | 08:41 |
| drag0nius | unity panels have no colour (transparent black) | 08:42 |
| drag0nius | errors pop like once a minute | 08:42 |
| marcappuccino | which errors | 08:42 |
| drag0nius | compiz/gnome-software-center | 08:42 |
| kriss_ | Uhmm anyone good with batchscripting wget ? im having a project i have problem with.. | 08:42 |
| drag0nius | animations are tearing | 08:42 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis where do you get this error - wile adding the beta repository? | 08:43 |
| drag0nius | like some tab slides to left, there still are "footprints" of it | 08:43 |
| drag0nius | i'd say its totally ... | 08:44 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: sudo apt-get update | 08:44 |
| ChoHag | How can I get rid of the username icon in the toolbar? | 08:45 |
| marcappuccino | drag0nius im really not sure it seems to be nvidias fault whith such lack of support of what seems to be a popular card but have you tried dualbooting windows? | 08:45 |
| drag0nius | win7 is my main system | 08:45 |
| drag0nius | for half year im trying to go to ubuntu, but have no drivers | 08:45 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis - after adding the beta repository? | 08:45 |
| drag0nius | for 2 of most popular nvidia cards | 08:45 |
| Kartagis | yes marcappuccino | 08:46 |
| drag0nius | guess i have to try install those newest drivers from nvidia | 08:46 |
| drag0nius | now i'm on 32 bit, but when i tried that on 64 i couldnt start ubuntu ;d | 08:46 |
| ChoHag | Is it even possible? | 08:46 |
| py | is it possible to use public key for root also for other users on same machine ? | 08:47 |
| drag0nius | brb gonna try that | 08:47 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis that seems odd how about remove all firefox repositories nd leave yourself with the default ubuntu repositories since they update firefox anyway... | 08:47 |
| marcappuccino | ChoHang not sure... askubuntu.com? | 08:48 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: it seems ff 15 is out and it's not the repos | 08:48 |
| py | is it possible to use public key for root also for other users on same machine ? | 08:48 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis it is in mine... is this a frehs install? | 08:49 |
| Kartagis | update | 08:49 |
| marcappuccino | ? | 08:49 |
| Kartagis | it's an update | 08:49 |
| Kartagis | from 11.10 | 08:50 |
| Kartagis | wha? wth do I get 11.0? | 08:51 |
| marcappuccino | So maybe you are with the 11.10 oneric repos or something... but many experience quite a few errors when dist-upgrading so i would personally reccomend you to compress your home folder .tar.lzma (smallest) .tar.bz2 (fastest) and do a fresh install | 08:52 |
| marcappuccino | (saving the compressed home folder to a usb or something) | 08:53 |
| timfrost | py: what type of public key?Most systems that use the term 'public key' are using a key pair, and the private key should be owned by a person, so can't be shared between users | 08:53 |
| Kartagis | /etc/apt/sources.list shows precise | 08:53 |
| py | key pair yes | 08:54 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis im not sure im just giving you suggestions | 08:55 |
| drag0nius_netboo | yeah installed those drivers | 08:55 |
| drag0nius_netboo | and ubuntu gui does not start | 08:55 |
| marcappuccino | ok | 08:55 |
| marcappuccino | ...and | 08:55 |
| drag0nius_netboo | i can only see some part of message about broken pipe at top of screen | 08:55 |
| marcappuccino | login screen unity or after grub? | 08:55 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: I appreciate all the effort though | 08:55 |
| drag0nius_netboo | nope | 08:55 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis sorry i couldnt be of much help | 08:56 |
| Kartagis | marcappuccino: ...and I've just remembered I do ff updates through ff | 08:56 |
| marcappuccino | drag0nius_netboo so where? | 08:56 |
| drag0nius_netboo | to ctrl alt f7 | 08:56 |
| drag0nius_netboo | or straight to tty1 | 08:57 |
| marcappuccino | Kartagis on my box they are just regularly updated through the update manager | 08:57 |
| drag0nius_netboo | now topmost line is "Stopping load fallback graphic devices" | 08:57 |
| drag0nius_netboo | guess i could get to logs somewhere, but idk where | 08:57 |
| marcappuccino | dragonius_ /var/log/X11/Xorg.log or /var/log/xorg.log | 08:58 |
| drag0nius_netboo | hmm | 08:59 |
| drag0nius_netboo | failed to load screens | 09:00 |
| marcappuccino | drag0nius your card is evidently not supported as of yet so i would reccomend just fresh install into the open source nouveau driver, especially since you use your Win 7 box for your main computer and i assume gaming? | 09:00 |
| drag0nius_netboo | and its already after dpkg-reconfigure | 09:00 |
| marcappuccino | its quite an embarresment for nvidia | 09:00 |
| marcappuccino | AMD ftw | 09:00 |
| drag0nius_netboo | how can i reset those settings? | 09:00 |
| drag0nius_netboo | about those drivers, they're pretty much for any geforce | 09:01 |
| drag0nius_netboo | every nvidia card use those, probably except oldest | 09:01 |
| marcappuccino | there is a command line method but i cant remember nor would i reccomend it seeing as youve iinstalled quite a lot of drivers so fresh install all the way | 09:02 |
| marcappuccino | i know thats why its an embarresment | 09:02 |
| marcappuccino | it doesnt even work on the most popular geforce card | 09:02 |
| drag0nius_netboo | i think it has something to do with that first-driver config | 09:03 |
| marcappuccino | But nvidia have recently joined the linux foundation about 2 months ago so hopefully more contributions from them. | 09:04 |
| drag0nius_netboo | hmm | 09:04 |
| drag0nius_netboo | this driver might be that contrib | 09:04 |
| drag0nius_netboo | it was released 2 days ago | 09:04 |
| drag0nius_netboo | now theres black screen xd | 09:04 |
| drag0nius_netboo | except for going to tty | 09:04 |
| marcappuccino | lol | 09:05 |
| drag0nius_netboo | lets try failsafe option now | 09:05 |
| drag0nius_netboo | last one was some long file name with orginal in it | 09:06 |
| marcappuccino | sorry must go! but my advice is to use nouveau! | 09:06 |
| rax- | is there a reason to use 'reboot' instead of 'shutdown -r' ? | 09:07 |
| gnomefreak | rax-: they are different options. 1 reboots the pc the other shuts it down(off) | 09:10 |
| rax- | using the switch -r makes it reboot | 09:10 |
| z2s8 | hi i have a problem when i suspend or hibernate my ubuntu 11.10 it freezes with a black screen and then wake up immediatly with error ath9k_htc.fw not found i installed that but the problem still egxist please help because i cant do anything with my pc | 09:11 |
| z2s8 | when i install 12.04 the problem is the same | 09:11 |
| zorgborg | hi ubuntu keeps finding internal errors, first it was with apt-get, then something to do with perl, then that seemed to fix itself, firefox is consistently crashing, (even after update today) and now theres another apt problem, you think theres a deeper problem going on? | 09:11 |
| z2s8 | with the usb wifi card | 09:11 |
| szal | rax-: just convenience, I guess.. 'reboot' is less typework than 'shutdown -r now' | 09:12 |
| drag0nius_netboo | i use shutdown -r 0 | 09:12 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: does firefox crash straight away or only when you open a flash page? | 09:12 |
| rax- | I used -r now normally | 09:12 |
| z2s8 | sometimes need to suspend/hibernate | 09:13 |
| rax- | but I noticed the reboot command and wasn't sure what the difference was | 09:13 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, typically straight away | 09:13 |
| drag0nius_netboo | what would be easiest way to install kinect on ubuntu? | 09:14 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: and what gives you a sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal? | 09:14 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: did you add any extra repositories? | 09:14 |
| * szal doesn't know anything that results in a 'sudo apt-get upgrade'.. other than typing it oneself | 09:15 | |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, theres an indicator applet on the top panel saying an error occurred when searching for updates, ill just try sudo | 09:15 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, nope, chrome is having trouble displaying webpages now though | 09:16 |
| zetheroo | I hate to say this but I am finding 12.04 to be pretty annoying, mainly with the error dialogs opening several times a day wanting to send report to HQ ... | 09:16 |
| ksuhku | I have a cron entry that uses notify-send. Sometimes this works fine but sometimes no notification is to be seen and in syslog a line is found notification-da[21656] trap int3 ip:7f57d0bc0313 sp:7fffbe49ca80 error:0 | 09:16 |
| ksuhku | anybody have an idea what that is all about? | 09:16 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, it just stalls like last time in the terminal, ceases to do anything | 09:17 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, ive run rkhunter and everything seems okay, chkrootkit too, but it seems like alot of things are breaking at once | 09:17 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: can it be that your HDD is braking? | 09:18 |
| schnuffle | breaking | 09:19 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, actually yes, seems though im having hang at boot issues, ive had to do several hard shutdowns | 09:19 |
| zorgborg | and its a second HDD, couldve handled it rough | 09:19 |
| samuel | has anyone else here had heat problems when running unity? | 09:20 |
| samuel | on ubuntu 12.04? | 09:20 |
| samuel | my laptop has been running hot at an average 60c, i recently inadvertently removed some vital files that helped unity run | 09:21 |
| samuel | so i logged into gnome shell and my temperatures were 10c less! | 09:21 |
| samuel | now it averages at a reasonable 50c | 09:21 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: then hurry up, start from a live system a save your important data, then do a hdd check | 09:22 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, no idea how to a hdd check, btw im using gnome-panel not unity, i guess thats not gonna have anything to do with apt though | 09:23 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: create a USB stick with a live system, boot from it and then you can check the HDD with e2fsck | 09:24 |
| mike23333 | hi, does anyone have a XvbA compatibility list please ? i'm not sure what laptop to get, the radeon cards in my price range seem to have better benchmarks. it's about radeon 7000 series | 09:25 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, ah right thanks :), will do, presume i can pop the live system on a CD tho if USB doesnt work? | 09:25 |
| schnuffle | Yes | 09:27 |
| schnuffle | zorgborg: USB is just more convenient an uses less resources :) | 09:27 |
| zorgborg | schnuffle, is e2fsck a CLI tool? | 09:29 |

| deni | i think the update is still happenning in the background | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | eww.. | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | check top output perhaps? | 10:11 |
| deni | seeing as i can't use apt-get due to lock | 10:11 |
| rax- | if I used apt-get dist-upgrade && echo "complete" is this likely to cause any problems? i.e. if dist-upgrade failed? | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | rax-: what do you expect dist-upgrade to do? | 10:12 |
| rax- | apply the patches | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | it theres an error then it just wont say complete even it its done | 10:12 |
| deni | dr_willis: what process should i be looking for | 10:12 |
| rax- | but if that's inside a script, the rest of the script will hang? | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | if i remeber my bash. && = run this if esrlier command retuens no error | 10:13 |
| GoGi | if you have an etale cover of some affine variety U, will base change with a closed subvariety X of U yield an etale cover of X? | 10:13 |

| dr_willis | deni apt, or dpkg i belive | 10:13 |

| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 10:44 |
| zorgborg | hi, can anyone help me use fsck to check my HDD for errors plz? | 10:44 |
| phix | you have any extra stuff in your pam settings? | 10:44 |
| gauravgrt1 | hey my installation of precise doesn't show any swap space ...i chose to encrypt the home folder during installation what could be the prob?? | 10:44 |
| phix | like authenticate against ldap, kerberos, sql, etc.? | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 10:44 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 10:44 |
| zeptis | so, I'm trying to get an XML script to modprobe as a hotkey; as this is sudoer territory, how would I get this to execute properly without making Openbox a sudoer? | 10:48 |

| === Dr4g|bbs is now known as Dr4g | ||
| dr_willis | zeptis: you could set the modprobe command suicide. But that's a security type risk | 10:49 |
| phix | zeptis: you can add users to sudo who only have access to a limited set of commands as root | 10:51 |
| phix | or as another user | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | Auto completion is messing me up. | 10:51 |
| zorgborg | dr_willis: does 'sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown' store errors it finds in a file that i can check once rebooted? | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | S u I d bit. | 10:51 |
| phix | dr_willis: yeah but sudo is better to manage stuff, setuid is dangerous | 10:52 |
| phix | s/stuff/that stuff/ | 10:52 |
| zeptis | >add users of sudo who only have access to a limited set of commands | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | you can put modprobe in sudoers | 10:52 |
| zeptis | Willis; docs for that sort of thing? | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | sudo homepage and askubuntu.com | 10:53 |
| phix | dr_willis: correct, using the absolute path of course ;) | 10:53 |
| kusuma | hi' | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | ! sudo | 10:53 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:53 |

| Dreadtower | Where is itnormal to mount an extra drive? | 12:07 |
| bondj | hello | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | bondj: greetings | 12:07 |
| MohamedAlaa98 | hello bondj :) | 12:07 |
| bondj | i run 12.04 64 on intel motherboard with intel sound chip and i experience some strange sound stuttering and rediculous scratchy sounds in all kinds of sound related applications from time to time. | 12:08 |
| impi | zeptis, thank you for the advice, im just scared they tell me the usual crap...like ah we dont support linux and there is no linux sticker on your laptop so if you can have the same problem in windows... | 12:08 |
| impi | blah blah | 12:08 |
| bondj | and i have no idea what could cause this | 12:08 |
| cfhowlett | bondj: same same, although mine seems to only happen with audcity | 12:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Dreadtower create a folder with an easy name, then type sudo mount /dev/blah [that name] | 12:08 |
| Dreadtower | OK - thanks | 12:08 |
| bondj | it happens with teamspeak, chromium, wine, everything | 12:09 |
| zeptis | impi: that's a shame, dude. You should try editing your xorg.conf and adding dwords, maybe. | 12:09 |
| bondj | also gmusicbrowser | 12:09 |
| gonssal | so i'm the only one on earth with a broken NTFS-3G after yesterday's update? | 12:09 |
| sedeki | Which script is called on wireless connect? | 12:10 |
| impi | zeptis, let me google for this dwords, thank you very much, i think ill give kde a try too, or xfce something light and and try to see if the gpu fan goes crazy too | 12:10 |
| sedeki | I want to do a http post request to a page (web login for the network) | 12:10 |
| impi | brb | 12:10 |
| zeptis | impi: best of luck, but I think it's probably your laptop not cooling properly. | 12:10 |
| impi | thanks again i appreciate the advice =) ill go back to them with my angry face | 12:11 |
| drvanon | Hello there, just got a second hand pc (amd Athlon 3500+) but there was only 470 mb of ram, how would i expand this? | 12:11 |
| MohamedAlaa98 | use swap | 12:11 |
| zeptis | drvanon: PM me about this, it's not really an #ubuntu topic | 12:11 |
| Ben64 | I'm on 10.04 and the update manager is now telling me about 12.04.1 ... is there a way yet to keep things the same as 10.04? | 12:15 |
| zeptis | Ben64: just don't update. | 12:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 what things? | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | zeptis: that is what i've been doing, but that can't last forever | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: gnome-panel, non-unity, customizable wm themes | 12:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 as of april 2013, 10.04 for desktop will be dead (eol), better upgrade to 12.04 and get used to it | 12:17 |
| zeptis | Ben64: open gconf-editor and uncheck auto_launch, then. | 12:18 |
| fjdksj | ping | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64: you know you don't HAVE to upgrade. 10.40 is supported until 13.04 | 12:18 |
| randy2009 | what does this mean? limit: avg 3/min burst 5 (in iptables) | 12:18 |
| Ben64 | but i'm already falling behind in updates | 12:18 |
| jrib | Ben64: yes, sometime between now and april 2013 you should find a convenient time to upgrade to 12.04 and find a nice environment you enjoy | 12:18 |
| zeptis | jrib Monkeydust: if it ain't broke... | 12:19 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64: or try out xubuntu or lubuntu. If you're falling behind, bite the bullet and upgrade. Meanwhile, virtualbox will allow you to try out the other distros without risking your system. | 12:19 |
| Ben64 | which relates my original question - is there a way to keep the same functionality in 12.04? | 12:19 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64: not exactly the same as the DE has and will continue to change. | 12:19 |
| Ben64 | only gnome-panel has the plugins that I want/need | 12:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 gnome3 is different from gnome2, better get used to it | 12:19 |
| xrdodrx | Ben64: obviously, the source is all open, gnome 2 has ports. | 12:20 |
| jrib | Ben64: you can't use gnome-2 exactly, but there are a few similar options | 12:20 |
| xrdodrx | there's no reason to update until 2013 though | 12:20 |
| xrdodrx | if you don't want to | 12:20 |
| cdavis | Is there a way to have Ubuntu doing very deep packet inspection and blocking things like Java script, etc? Something similar to what a security appliance might do? | 12:20 |
| Ben64 | wine 1.5 doesn't exist for 10.04, as does a lot of newer software | 12:20 |
| fjdksj | it's been 1 year and people still trolling about gnome3? | 12:20 |
| zeptis | Ben64: you could just apt-get into the ubuntu ppa you want for stuff you want. | 12:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 yes, taht's another reason to upgrade to 12.04 | 12:21 |
| zeptis | gnome3 is hueg, fjdkj | 12:21 |
| smt | hi, got a simple question, will the upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 break my (heavily customized) desktop environment? | 12:21 |
| zeptis | smt: yes, we were just on this topic | 12:21 |
| Ben64 | i'm not trolling. I just don't like gnome3 or unity. I play a lot of games and they don't work well with desktop effects | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | smt: yep. | 12:22 |
| smt | damn | 12:22 |
| gry | smt, what desktop environment are you using? | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | smt: xubuntu or lubuntu or even kubuntu are options | 12:22 |
| smt | gnome on a multiseat multihead system with compiz and a custom layout | 12:22 |
| gry | smt, cinnamon would be something you may want to look into; it's a gnome fork intended to be similar to gnome 2 in architecture | 12:22 |
| j`ey_w | hey guys, can someone tell me the name of the screenlock program? | 12:22 |
| j`ey_w | and will it work with other WMs. | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | last time I tried 12.04, the theming was very bad. Colors wouldn't be uniform across the desktop, some text was unreadable, and there was no way to fix it | 12:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 if you don't like desktop effects, use ubuntu classic, it looks a lot like gnome2 | 12:23 |
| gonssal | so noone else noticed that an update that happened yesterday broke usb mounting capabilities on Ubuntu 12.04? | 12:23 |
| MonkeyDust | gonssal or it didnt | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | gonssal: maybe it's just you ... | 12:23 |
| harald_ | j`ey_w: you should check out run_once("gnome-power-manager") | 12:23 |
| === lahwran| is now known as lahwran | ||
| gonssal | MonkeyDust: well my pendrives were perfectly automounting before the update, then after it they wont mont anymore | 12:24 |
| smt | hmm so ill stick to 10.04 for now...thanks for that quick answers | 12:24 |
| gonssal | ERROR: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block device using the external FUSE library. Either mount the device as root or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root | 12:24 |
| harald_ | j`ey_w: I'm running gnome-power-manager with awesome (a tiling wm) | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | gonssal: have you tried rebooting? | 12:24 |
| gonssal | just updated and restarted | 12:24 |
| gonssal | yes Ben | 12:24 |
| Shadow` | any way to have netstat -lp show actual ports instead of the portname? | 12:25 |
| j`ey_w | harald_: hm | 12:25 |
| gonssal | the funniest part about the error is that the pendrives are FAT32 formatted | 12:25 |
| gonssal | apparently it detects them as NTFS for some reason after the update | 12:26 |
| j`ey_w | harald_: Im just looking for the command to run the screenlock :/ | 12:26 |
| harald_ | j`ey_w: tested slock ? | 12:26 |
| gonssal | nah, restarting into windows so i can use my pendrives, thx anyways | 12:29 |

| sazawal | zeptis, actually my xchat crashed, so I posted it again. Sorry. | 12:36 |

| Monotoko | how can I update an AWS version of Ubuntu... it doesn't want to do it over SSH | 12:38 |

| MonkeyDust | BebopStev manipulate? | 12:40 |
| BebopSteve | Move it to the center and make it display the day name, number, month and time | 12:41 |
| Monotoko | ActionParsnip, not very helpful as it's a server with only SSH access | 12:41 |
| BebopSteve | Actually some way to manipulate the panel at all would be nice | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Monotoko: if you actually READ thelink, it has a server method which is 100% text based, so is helpful | 12:42 |

| BebopSteve | I asked a while ago | 13:01 |
| zeptis | DDG cares about my privacy, Google sells my information, Yahoo and Bing are google but not useful. | 13:02 |
| BebopSteve | and the topic kinda shifted because I said I was having a hard time finding the solution through google | 13:02 |

| BebopSteve | captine: research a way to disable the power saver on your wifi, not optimal but I'm not sure otherwise, maybe submit a bug report in the meantime, but boot into windows to test it first | 13:34 |
| BebopSteve | could just be an issue with that particular model | 13:35 |
| ImperialDroid | Hi, I was just in here talking about how to get into my BIOS. I restarted my machine and there was no "press this or that to get into BIOS" prompt. How the heck do I get into the BIOS? | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: what's your computer make/model? | 13:36 |
| ImperialDroid | Its an ACER netbook | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: more info? model #? | 13:36 |
| captine | BebopSteve, Thanks. I bought my machine without Windows, to prove to my wife that Ubuntu can work for day to day needs (she uses a Mac). will look into the powersave | 13:36 |
| ImperialDroid | cfhowlett, how do I find that out? | 13:37 |
| root | .org | 13:37 |
| BebopSteve | captine: and you must win! the wife must not know of the bug! | 13:37 |
| BebopSteve | captine: I'm rooting for you :p | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: read the labels? look under the battery? | 13:37 |
| romeoh | imperialdroid: if it's a brand new computer it might be a uefi issue | 13:37 |
| captine | BebopSteve, agree... but i had to borrow the mac to test the transfer... so too late. I just wish nvidia would support optimus on my machine... would make things so much easier... | 13:38 |
| BebopSteve | I heard about that while reading through the steam linux blog, sounds like a damn headache | 13:38 |
| ImperialDroid | Its actually a Lenova Ideadpad. | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: looks like F2 might bring up bios. reboot and hit f2 after the beep | 13:39 |
| romeoh | bios is being replaced by uefi on new computers | 13:39 |
| ImperialDroid | I cant really look under it because it has so many wires running into it right now | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: wait 1 | 13:39 |
| ImperialDroid | its got an atom processor | 13:39 |
| ImperialDroid | its pretty old. probably 2 years old | 13:40 |
| cfhowlett | ImperialDroid: tell you what, reboot, hit F2. doesn't work, reboot hit F3. Eventually you'll get the bios menu | 13:40 |
| BebopSteve | captine: If you find time, take a look here: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/faster-zombies/#comments It may give you some insight or clues as to the optimus issues, there was some communication about it | 13:40 |
| ImperialDroid | ok cfhowlett thanks buddy | 13:40 |
| equex | is there a way to remove all the packages from openoffice without having synaptic wanting to remove gnome-base as well ? (10.4 lts) | 13:43 |
| equex | can i do it with dpkg without harming the system? | 13:44 |
| jasonz | brought a game in desura zomboid just wont start | 13:44 |
| Scunizi | equex I think that gnome-base is a meta package which won't harm the system if it's removed.. however wait for someone else to confirm that or google it to make sure. | 13:45 |
| Striatum | irc://irc.kametsu.com/Kametsu) | 13:46 |
| equex | Scunizi: i went ahead and did it anyway, and what do you know, they apparently removed the dependency | 13:47 |

| pungi_man | how to make the size of an image to the size of an icon so that I can use it in my java application ? | 13:47 |
| equex | before you could remove writer,presentation and all the other stuff, but if you tried to remove the final packages like openoffice-core and -common, it would depend on removing the entire desktop as well | 13:48 |
| equex | :D | 13:48 |

| pungi_man | MonkeyDust, I dont know how to use GIMP | 13:49 |
| MonkeyDust | pungi_man then this is the opportunity to learn it | 13:50 |
| pungi_man | MonkeyDust, I will try it ... thanks for the help! | 13:50 |
| BebopSteve | pungi_man: It's not that bad, trust me | 13:50 |
| equex | gives me a nice and clean feeling to remove all the cruft :) | 13:51 |
| BebopSteve | equex: you going with libre or office on wine? | 13:51 |
| MonkeyDust | pungi_man in GIMP, it's Image > Scale image | 13:52 |
| equex | BebopSteve: my needs only calls for lightweight editors | 13:52 |
| Scunizi | abiword? or nano (or similar) | 13:52 |
| equex | so i dont really need an office suite with a kitchensink | 13:52 |
| BebopSteve | ahaha | 13:52 |
| equex | yeah, abiword the the likes | 13:52 |
| BebopSteve | hey, kitchen sinks are nice | 13:52 |
| equex | hehe | 13:53 |
| BebopSteve | like those kohlers | 13:53 |

| impi | i was in here earlier about my graphics card that was getting hot | 14:24 |
| Sokel | impi: What about it getting hot | 14:24 |
| impi | i dont know when it happened, but nvidia moddded my xorg.conf and added a coolbits 5 in there | 14:25 |
| impi | i removed it, and restarted and it seems better now, the fan still goes ape crazy, but at least the temp is down to <60 | 14:25 |
| Sokel | impi: Coolbits comes from the nvidia settings itself. | 14:26 |
| impi | Sokel, yea i saw it, in their wiki, it does provide some overclocking features, thats now gone since i;'ve commented out that line | 14:28 |
| Sokel | impi: Coolbits does not control overclocking. | 14:29 |
| marcos | hello evrybody | 14:29 |
| impi | okay, but like i said since i've commented out that line, my nvidia settings no longer provide me with overclocking abilities | 14:30 |

| dr_willis | licate lightdm.conf | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | locate lightdm.conf | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | sudo nano /path/to/it | 15:26 |
| jrbergdorff | k, well I am wondering why when I shut down my pc and restart it why does my desktop background disappear | 15:26 |
| dr_willis | jrbergdorff: where is the wallpaper file saved to? | 15:27 |
| jrbergdorff | it's saved on the window7 partition, but everytime I set it up I save it to my pictures in ubuntu and then shut down and it's gone | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | if its on a ntfs/vfat or external drive.. thnr it may not be accessable on login untill you access and thus mount the device | 15:28 |
| xpistos | lightdm.conf has ubuntu set as the user-session | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | so thats why.... | 15:28 |
| jrbergdorff | oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks Dr. Willis | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | mount the windows drive from fstab if you want it accessale befor the user logs in | 15:29 |
| jrbergdorff | got it, will do | 15:30 |
| Meris | jrbergdorff, how did your printing project fare? Did you complete it in time? | 15:30 |
| jrbergdorff | Meris, yes, it works wonderful now! Thanks for all of your help | 15:31 |

| hjupadhyay | Hi everybody ! | 15:33 |
| Meris | hjupadhyay, Hi, how can we help you? | 15:33 |
| hjupadhyay | One fresh engineer joined my company, he never used ubunut, I need to get him on to ubuntu | 15:34 |
| theadmin | hjupadhyay: That's not really a support issue. I suggest using Kubuntu though, since it's interface highly resembles that of Windows. | 15:35 |
| hjupadhyay | No sir, I had been using ubuntu for last 3 years, problem is he has a nvidia card laptop which won't boot the live dvd / unetbootin usb. | 15:36 |
| Meris | hjupadhyay, lubuntu may be another choice, especially if your engineer has an older machine. | 15:36 |
| xpistos | ok let try this. How do I kill the xserver from a terminal? | 15:36 |
| Sokel | hjupadhyay: Who in their right mind would use ubuntu in a company/business environment? Sure you'd use server -maybe-, but that's a mistake in of itself. Especially with the interfaces it has, including KDE. | 15:36 |
| hjupadhyay | So I successfully booted from alternate cd, now the issue is he doesn't go past the grub, though I can log on to tty2-6 | 15:36 |
| roasted | hello! | 15:36 |
| theadmin | xpistos: sudo service lightdm stop | 15:36 |
| roasted | I have a 32 bit package, but a 64 bit Ubuntu. Can you typically instal these things? There's not a 64 bit variant of what I'mafter. | 15:37 |
| uberamd | Sokel: ubuntu server is fine... | 15:37 |
| theadmin | roasted: Yes, you might be able to. | 15:37 |
| hjupadhyay | did that but says no lightdm, also says startx comman not found !!! I'm surprised too | 15:37 |
| Sokel | uberamd: Ubuntu server -is- fine. As a desktop for a company, it's not. | 15:37 |
| theadmin | roasted: Make sure "ia32-libs" is installed. | 15:37 |
| uberamd | Sokel: Can't argue that. | 15:37 |
| uberamd | Sokel: RHEL is much better for that | 15:37 |
| Meris | hjupadhyay, you know the brand and model of your engineer's computer? | 15:37 |
| theadmin | Sokel: How come? Where I work, we use Ubuntu almost exclusively on desktop machines. Works just fine. | 15:38 |
| roasted | theadmin: already installed.... | 15:38 |
| Sokel | uberamd: Very much agreed. I use RHEL personally on my desktop at work. Very clean. | 15:38 |
| theadmin | roasted: Okay, then you should be able to install the package like normally | 15:38 |
| xpistos | This is a nightmare | 15:38 |
| xpistos | I can't believe there isn't a way to tell the system to require a password from the command line | 15:38 |
| soman | How to install opengl in Ubuntu 12.04 (for graphic developing)? | 15:39 |
| roasted | theadmin: can't - says i386 error or something. Unless I do it via terminal... that was through software center | 15:39 |
| Hwkiller | well... opengl is a spec, so you should follow the spec | 15:39 |
| theadmin | xpistos: You were told to edit lightdm.conf | 15:39 |
| Hwkiller | it's not a standard lib; each driver has their own opengl implementation | 15:39 |
| === Mechdave_ is now known as Mechdave | ||
| theadmin | roasted: Hm... I'm not too sure. | 15:39 |
| soman | SHould I install proprietar driver? | 15:39 |

| Supermanintights | Hi, I'm trying to look at how I can create an IRC server, using my websites hosting - so the server is in effect - irc.checkhookboxing.com but I've tried looking, however I'm not really sure on where to start still | 15:41 |
| Supermanintights | Does anyone have any experience with this? | 15:41 |
| Meris | Supermanintights, do you have root on that server? | 15:41 |
| roasted | theadmin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1174040/ bummer. | 15:41 |
| xpistos | so I went into lightdm and told it to remove auto-login and rebooted | 15:42 |
| Kartagis | Meris: he doesn't have to have root access | 15:42 |
| xpistos | then It prompted me for the password and let me chang emy default dm | 15:42 |
| theadmin | roasted: That's not really how you install a deb package, use "sudo gdebi something.deb" | 15:42 |
| Meris | Kartagis, well if he wants to setup an IRC server, he will need root access, methinks. | 15:42 |
| Kartagis | Meris: no | 15:43 |
| roasted | theadmin: oh. :( | 15:43 |
| roasted | theadmin: it's sort of always worked for me. *shrug* | 15:43 |
| theadmin | roasted: (gdebi may not come by default, you should apt-get install it) | 15:43 |
| Supermanintights | <Meris> Supermanintights, do you have root on that server? - I'm not sure, I have access to cpanel, ssh etc. this is the first website I've had so much of the terminology is still new to me | 15:43 |
| theadmin | roasted: It works... When you already satisfied all the dependencies of the package | 15:44 |
| theadmin | roasted: Otherwise use gdebi | 15:44 |
| roasted | theadmin: k, installing now | 15:44 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: cpannel, is this a virtual server ? | 15:44 |
| roasted | theadmin: it failed but I need to do an apt-get -f install... 726MB worth, yet my root partition is down to 500MB free. Nice. | 15:44 |
| Meris | Supermanintights, if you have SSH access and your /home is allowed to run programs, you could try installing the IRC server in your homedir. | 15:44 |
| theadmin | roasted: Ouch :/ | 15:44 |
| roasted | theadmin: yep, I thought 15GB was enough for root. No idea where the space is coming from. I can onlya llocate about 7GB in use. | 15:45 |
| padhu | please suggest me good ubuntu compactable Headphone with mic | 15:45 |
| Meris | padhu, any non-USB headphone should work just fine. | 15:45 |
| ikonia | padhu: any headphone and mic should work | 15:46 |
| Supermanintights | ikonia it's a medium, shared hosting plan from asmallorange.com // Meris Ok, I'll have a go on there -- see if that works | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: ok, I'd advise you to slow down and work this through | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: you're going to have quite tight restrictions and access control on a shared platform. | 15:46 |
| patg1 | came in here to find out which version of ubuntu I should update to I have 10.4 Also when I got it I was a very newbie and did not set it up so that my home directory is on a separate partition What should I do. I'm assuming 12.4 would be LTS and the best choice | 15:46 |
| padhu | Meris, ikonia : i am sorry. I need bluetooth headset | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: you need to talk to you hosting provider. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | padhu: again, any should work if they are proper bluetooth | 15:47 |
| Meris | padhu, does Bluetooth work for you in general? | 15:47 |
| gordonjcp | Supermanintights: most hosting providers won't let you run IRC servers except on dedicated machines, or VPSes | 15:47 |
| Supermanintights | ok ikonia - my only worry with talking to them was that I'm not using as much of my bandwidth/package yet as I could be - so I don't want them to try charge me more for it (obviously, I know that is their right and prerogative etc.) | 15:48 |
| roasted | theadmin: This package is uninstallable Cannot install 'gksu:i386' . WOOP! | 15:48 |
| padhu | Meris: Blue-tooth working fine for browsing my phone | 15:48 |
| theadmin | roasted: Eh... :/ | 15:48 |
| Pelo | what was the name of that webcam app that you could record with ? | 15:48 |
| roasted | cheese? | 15:48 |
| Meris | padhu, in that case, just go ahead and add your Bluetooth-enabled headset as a device. | 15:49 |
| Pelo | tks | 15:49 |
| theadmin | Pelo: There are many around... wxcam? Cheese? Kamoso? | 15:49 |
| roasted | <3 | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: if you are not using your bandwifth limit, then what's the problem ? | 15:49 |
| Pelo | theadmin, I need to record a video stream from a camcorder over usb , what do you recommend | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: just ask them if they will allow you to install an IRC server and what the restrictions/limitatoins are | 15:50 |
| ikonia | chances are they will say "no" | 15:50 |
| theadmin | Pelo: Cheese will do fine, wxcam works too but isn't as featureful | 15:50 |
| padhu | Meris: I wish to buy good one | 15:50 |
| === pehden is now known as Ghoultsas | ||
| Supermanintights | I'll ask them - if they say no, I'll just suggest I change providers to one who can offer me the services I require - thanks for the advice :) | 15:50 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: do you actually need an IRC server ? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: most IRC network will allow you to create a channel | 15:51 |
| Meris | padhu, that does not depend on your OS choice if it has good Bluetooth compatibility | 15:51 |
| Supermanintights | ikonia - I'm a big fan of control, I don't see it being too big an issue, and I would like the opportunity to create several different channels/run them etc. | 15:51 |
| padhu | Meris: Oh, Then I will try and post the result. Thanks... | 15:52 |
| Supermanintights | so long as the cost isn't stupid I don't mind the extra effort in looking into setting it all up | 15:52 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: you can run channels on most IRC networks, if you ask in #freenode they will explain how you setup and manage your own channels | 15:52 |
| Meris | padhu, for hardware advice, you could join #hardware instead. | 15:52 |
| === Ghoultsas is now known as Swap-Nick-Bomber | ||
| padhu | Meris: Okey, | 15:53 |
| ikonia | Supermanintights: a.) your provider won't allow it (probably) as few will, because of the security issues b.) you are opening your system up for exploit c.) you are setting up resources on your machine that you don't "need" as existing irc networks will allow you to run and control your own channels | 15:53 |
| Dreadtower | Hello again (sigh) :)) | 15:54 |
| Dreadtower | OK | 15:54 |
| Dreadtower | So VirtualBox suns nicely and I can install XP into it - great! | 15:54 |
| Supermanintights | hmm, you're probably right - it is somewhat of a vanity thing. I just liked the idea of people connecting to my server | 15:54 |
| Supermanintights | I'll think it through more | 15:54 |
| Dreadtower | Can I connect my XP to the internet directly? | 15:55 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: Virtualbox is great software, runs XP perfectly | 15:55 |
| phax | Hi, I am on Ubuntu 10.0.4 and use gdm->gnome. However when I use fluxbox to login, the network configuration/wireless adapter settings do not take effect. I would like to configure the network service to start even if I am not logged in, or logged into the a console session. How do I go about doing that? | 15:55 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: You can set the networking to Bridged which will allow other devices to see your VM | 15:55 |
| Dreadtower | OK | 15:55 |
| ikonia | phax: use the interfaces file AND you need to disable gnome network manager | 15:55 |
| Ileden | I just installed xubuntu on my desktop computer. Desktop performance is very, very slow. My video adapter is: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV 630 XT AGP [Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP] - I did try the proprietary FGLRX driver but it doesn't really help. Is this just incompatible with linux or is there something I can try? | 15:55 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: By default the networking will be set as NAT and that means that other systems on your network won't be able to see it. Be sure to bridge it. | 15:56 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: In the network settings | 15:56 |
| === GunClive is now known as Clive | ||
| Dreadtower | Great: set to bridged | 15:56 |
| phax | ikonia: I do not have any security on the wireless network, would just putting in the wireless-mode managed, wireless-essid .... be sufficient ? How do I disable the gnome network manager? | 15:57 |
| === Clive is now known as Guest93623 | ||
| Dreadtower | No I can just installl XP into my VM and it will be able to see out? | 15:57 |
| Dreadtower | s/No/Now/ | 15:57 |
| phax | ikonia: Do I need configure a difference service to startup to process the network/interfaces file ? | 15:57 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: Yes, set it to bridged and in XP check the network IP | 15:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Dreadtower I have XP in virtualbox, works fine | 15:57 |
| ikonia | phax: if you visit https://help.ubuntu.com there is a guide on setting up networking, have a read through and let me know if you have any questions. | 15:57 |
| phax | ikonia: cheers! | 15:57 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: you should get an IP like 192.168.1.X if its on a home-router | 15:58 |
| Dreadtower | Yeah | 15:58 |
| Dreadtower | Set it to that | 15:58 |
| uberamd | Dreadtower: then if it has an IP like that you should be able to ping it from another device | 15:58 |
| Dreadtower | Thx uberamd | 15:58 |

| WarOfTheNerd | FlowRiser, There's an easy way to install Flash | 17:09 |
| WarOfTheNerd | FlowRiser, it's a simple .so you copy to your plugins directory, that's the same procedure as original Flash had for Windows | 17:09 |
| WarOfTheNerd | the installer was made for idiots | 17:10 |

| WarOfTheNerd | FlowRiser, might be worthwhile to install Google Chrome by the way, as Flash is being discontinued for other browsers | 17:11 |
| Linger | Hi where's the windows chen? | 17:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | that rule affects all platforms that aren't Windows (OS X is also ditching Flash) | 17:12 |
| FlowRiser | WarOfTheNerd, why is flash discontinued for the other browsers ? O.o | 17:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | FlowRiser, because Adobe don't want to maintain it anymore other than for security fixes, Google are taking over maintenance for it for their own browser only | 17:12 |
| bkc_ | luist: also, uname -m :) | 17:13 |
| FlowRiser | WarOfTheNerd, google wants it just for their youtube :) | 17:13 |
| WarOfTheNerd | so all new features for Linux are exclusively for Google Chrome. Wonderful eh? | 17:13 |
| FlowRiser | WarOfTheNerd, but even that supports html5 | 17:13 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Adobe are moving towards HTML5 compatibility wrappers and making a framework for HTML5 now | 17:13 |

| aaas | is there anyway to start alsa over ssh? | 17:14 |
| bkc_ | aaas: afaik not alsa, but pulseaudio has network-support :) | 17:15 |
| WarOfTheNerd | aaas, no need, because it's a kernel component | 17:15 |
| WarOfTheNerd | aaas, if you're talking about networking sound to be forwarded to a client PC, you can use pulseaudio or nas | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | PatrickC: try virtualbox if you want to install it on OS X | 17:16 |
| aaas | WarOfTheNerd bkc_ so here's the problem, I log into a computer and sound works, but I want to use mplayer but the sound system doesn't start if I'm sshing into the computer, all i want to do is run the scripts that start the sound system I don't need any forwarding of sound I don't even need to listen to the sound | 17:16 |
| WarOfTheNerd | aaas, that's because of PulseAudio, if you remove PulseAudio and add your user to the 'audio' group you can then control sound | 17:17 |
| bkc_ | aaas: If you only want music, I'd suggest moc or another terminal-based musicplayer :) | 17:18 |
| WarOfTheNerd | PulseAudio will only play sound for the logged in user on the local terminal | 17:18 |
| Bahaman | When installing eclipse, would I need to install anything else? I mean, besides the following line: sudo apt-get install eclipse ? | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bkc_: if you connect with the -X option, you can run GUI media playing apps | 17:18 |
| bkc_ | Bahaman: eclipse-jdt afaik? | 17:18 |
| aaas | WarOfTheNerd so i can run alsamixer if i remove pulseaudio? | 17:18 |
| WarOfTheNerd | aaas, yes if you do that and add your user to the audio group | 17:18 |
| bkc_ | ActionParsnip: yes, but as far as I can tell, he wants the music playing on the server? | 17:19 |
| aaas | bkc_ i dont need any sound or music, i just need the sound to startup | 17:19 |
| aaas | WarOfTheNerd ok thanks | 17:19 |
| aaas | I just want the sound to startup on the server | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | bkc_: yes the sound will play on the server, the only thing shown on the client is the GUI | 17:19 |
| bkc_ | aaas: no need to remove pulseaudio... just start alsamixer :/ | 17:19 |
| aaas | without a user loggin in | 17:19 |
| aaas | alsamixer doesnt work | 17:19 |
| Bahaman | bkc_: Im having an odd error with some SWT library missing or something, does it sound familiar? | 17:19 |
| bkc_ | ActionParsnip: indeed... but he only wants sound :/ | 17:19 |
| aaas | because the sound scripts (whatever they are) aren't starting | 17:19 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ActionParsnip, it won't. PulseAudio only plays for the local user on the locally displayed terminal | 17:19 |
| bkc_ | Bahaman: only used eclipse/java once and never again, so can't really help you :( | 17:20 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ActionParsnip, if you ssh in it'll block sound because it's not the local user, it's by design, so it needs to be removed to work XD | 17:20 |
| Bahaman | Okay | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | WarOfTheNerd: ive started spotify via ssh -X and the sound comes out of te server with zero addition settings | 17:20 |
| WarOfTheNerd | ActionParsnip, is that native Linux or Wine? on Wine it doesn't use PA by default | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | WarOfTheNerd: the only thing on the server is the graphical UI, all the x server is, is display, keyboard and mouse, not soud | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | WarOfTheNerd: native, wine also did the same but didn't run as smooth | 17:21 |
| aaas | if a user logs in everything is fine, because the sound system is started | 17:21 |
| aaas | but if no one logs in nothing starts | 17:21 |
| aaas | *logs in at the physical terminal* | 17:21 |
| WarOfTheNerd | aaas, yeah, that's PulseAudio doing it then | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip | aaas: isn't the pulse audio service started as a service | 17:22 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||

| ActionParsnip | aaas: try adding the command to start it in /etc/rc.local may help | 17:23 |
| WarOfTheNerd | adie__, it comes from ATI yes | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | aaas: add it above the exit 0 line... | 17:23 |
| adie__ | should I use this driver, or no proprietary driver at all? | 17:24 |
| WarOfTheNerd | adie__, the post-install updates are the latest drivers usually and the normal version is the version shipped and tested for release | 17:24 |
| aaas | ActionParsnip but starting pulseaudio isnt sufficient, there's one more step..if i run this i still cant run alsamixer | 17:24 |
| WarOfTheNerd | adie__, ideally use proprietary drivers if you want the best 3D support | 17:24 |
| WarOfTheNerd | adie__, if you're not playing games or the like, free drivers are best though | 17:24 |

| WarOfTheNerd | HelpMePlease, describe the issues you're having with setting up the dual boot! :) | 17:33 |
| WarOfTheNerd | john_nash, do you still have the ability to sudo? | 17:33 |
| WarOfTheNerd | if so: sudo -i | 17:33 |
| HelpMePlease | Excellent. Well, let me explain what my situation is. I just bought a Toshiba laptop (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cdetland.to?poid=2000037648), and have dual-booted in the past without a problem. However, with this laptop, I have been having a lot of problems with Ubuntu crashing simply while installing from the live CD, and then afterwards during the user session. | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | john_nash: boot to root recovery mode and you can set any password | 17:33 |
| WarOfTheNerd | then do passwd -d root && passwd -l root | 17:33 |
| _Marcus | How do I make it so that a group can read and write to a folder and it's contents? I need the www-data to write there. I already have the group that owns the file to www-data, and the permissions are at 775, but it's not working. | 17:33 |

| WarOfTheNerd | _Marcus, are we talking about Apache not being able to write? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | arosen: use: sudo service then press TAB a few times | 17:35 |
| _Marcus | WarOfTheNerd: Yes. I'm using PHP's mkdir(). | 17:35 |
| arosen | ActionParsnip: that doesn't tab complete services just files | 17:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | _Marcus, check /etc/group and /etc/gshadow | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | arosen: you don't press ENTER after the word service | 17:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | _Marcus, www-data is not in the group by default despite what Apache says | 17:36 |
| _Marcus | WarOfTheNerd: This is a strange problem because I can read and write in another PHP script, but mkdir wont allow me to. | 17:36 |

| ubottu | root__: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 18:45 |

| root__ | MonkeyDust:i see only the root... | 18:47 |
| Jordan_U | root__: Look at /etc/passwd or ask in your distribution's support channel (Ubuntu disables root login by default, so I'm pretty sure you're not using Ubuntu). | 18:48 |
| species_4981 | b3rz3rk3r_: ahh...yes, I( wondered if that might be the case ...hmm, more thinking needed. Thanks for the feedback. | 18:48 |

| Cascador | is it possible to somehow install google chrome in my home directory and run it from there? | 19:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | Cascador: short of building from source, no. but your computer lab might restrict compiler access too | 19:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | *and* execution rights | 19:42 |
| Cascador | TheLordOfTime: I know I can download the source and build it myself | 19:42 |

| freerobby | but my ulimit settings are not applied to users when their processes are owned by the uid | 19:46 |
| Meris | freerobby, that's because some of the processes have been started with the setuid bit on. | 19:46 |

| freerobby | e.g. why the torquebox process would be owned by its UID rather than its username | 19:47 |

| cyrano_ | if it isn't connected to a wired network it takes much longer to boot then when it does boot the network manager applet doesn't show up and I'm not able to connect to wireless netowkrs unless I manually start it | 20:30 |
| === megalon_ is now known as rodan | ||
| cyrano_ | there are two different version of linuxmint one that is made from ubuntu and the other made from debian | 20:30 |
| cyrano_ | ubuntu was a fork of debian many years ago | 20:30 |
| Meris | There is even a Debian version with a BSD kernel ;-) | 20:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | discussion on the origin of mint is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:32 |
| cyrano_ | @MonkeyDust when I try to manually run NetWork manager after I boot without it being plugged in to a wired network I see multiple instances of the nm-applet in the indicator-applet | 20:32 |
| Meris | I agree | 20:32 |
| cyrano_ | @TheLordOfTime noted | 20:33 |
| J0nathan-to | My ubuntu vpn client -->disables internett(external networks)when im connected to work. In windows 7 on my virtualbox I solved this by going into properties of tcp/IPv4 and advanced TCP/IP and unchecked "Use standard gateway on external networks" Then I had "Internet access"as well as access to my work computers. I would like the same settings in Ubuntu, can anybody please help me with this? | 20:33 |
| guntbert | cyrano_: in IRC there is no need for the @ to show you are talking to someone | 20:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | what guntbert said | 20:35 |
| sporkf | */30 1 * * * # Is this the cron schedule for every hour and a half ? | 20:35 |
| MonkeyDust | sporkf no, * 30 * .... is | 20:35 |
| lawltoad | will a liveusb that boots on a PC boot on a Macbook pro? or do I need to make the bootdisk from the mac itself? | 20:36 |
| guntbert | sporkf: I don't think you can get a job every 90 minutes | 20:36 |
| sporkf | 2 hours? | 20:36 |
| freerobby | Is there any way to force /etc/security/limits.conf to reload without exiting the current shell? | 20:37 |
| lidar | lawltoad, no it wont boot | 20:37 |
| Meris | lawltoad, np, just plug it in and hold the option key to select your boot device | 20:37 |
| lidar | they got rid of secure boot whatever :O | 20:37 |
| sporkf | 30 */1 * * * # for an hour and ah half? | 20:38 |
| lawltoad | Meris, lidar wait... you seem to be saying the opposite... am i misunderstanding? | 20:38 |
| Meris | lidar, if it works from an optical drive, it should also work from an USB stick. In fact, that's how I "upgraded" to Lion | 20:38 |
| sporkf | 0 */2 * * * # Cron jobs for every 2 hours. correct ? | 20:38 |
| veric | Ok still vant get web vids to play in on 12.04 i removed java flash and browsers starting fresh can anyone help me get the right ones in | 20:39 |
| guntbert | sporkf: that would be the same as 30 * * * *, meaning at 30 minutes past every full hour | 20:39 |
| novaspirit | hi i'm having trouble in trying to figure out if this is the right approach for this, i have two wireless nic with two internet connections. i've been looking up bonding the conection but that seem to apply on a same network situation. can't some one direct me to the right direction? | 20:39 |
| lawltoad | lidar, how do i make a macbootable usb from linux? | 20:39 |
| guntbert | sporkf: yes | 20:40 |
| lickalott | veric which browser are you using (or which ones have you tried)? | 20:40 |
| Meris | lawltoad, lidar and I probably disagree because we have experience with different generations of MacBook Pro's. | 20:40 |
| veric | ff and chro | 20:40 |
| guntbert | sporkf: in your terminla type man 5 crontab for more details | 20:40 |
| novaspirit | lawltoad, i currently am using a triple boot with mac os | 20:40 |
| veric | i like ff better | 20:40 |
| lickalott | you check security settings within those? | 20:40 |
| novaspirit | lawltoad i had to make a bootable usb via using a mac or VM mac | 20:41 |
| veric | deleted both to start fresh | 20:41 |
| lickalott | did you -purge | 20:41 |
| lickalott | residule cache may bite you if not | 20:41 |
| tziemann | are man pages the way to learn, or books? | 20:41 |
| veric | nope whats that | 20:41 |
| salim | When a new user is created , what is his/her group id? | 20:41 |
| lidar | lawltoad, you should be fine here is tutorial http://scottlinux.com/2011/06/14/how-to-dual-boot-os-x-and-linux/ | 20:41 |
| veric | i c | 20:42 |
| salim | When a new user is created , what is his/her group id? | 20:42 |
| novaspirit | you can try using, iATKOS S3 or something to virtualbox or something | 20:42 |
| lickalott | wait 1 veric | 20:42 |
| novaspirit | then using that make a bootable usb for mac | 20:42 |
| veric | ok | 20:42 |
| salim | When a new user is created , what is his/her group id? | 20:42 |
| Multbrelch | gordonjcp, histo, Zeptis, you remember me? topic 'defect CD' from 1999? | 20:43 |
| guntbert | salim: in ubuntu a new group with her name is created too | 20:43 |
| Multbrelch | You were right, the CD device is not well working - on a different computer I could read the CD | 20:43 |
| soundray | salim: the first available number above 1000 (1000 being the id of the user created during installation) | 20:43 |
| lidar | Multbrelch, 13 years ago >>> | 20:43 |
| Multbrelch | lidar, yes, old CD | 20:44 |
| Multbrelch | but still works | 20:44 |
| lawltoad | lidar, this still requires using the mac to make the CD, i suppose this makes it impossible to make a mac-bootable usb FROM linux | 20:45 |
| novaspirit | lawltoad, vbox | 20:45 |
| novaspirit | lawltoad, find a mac vbox image | 20:45 |
| lickalott | veric apt-get remove -purge Firefox | 20:46 |
| novaspirit | lawltoad, that's the only way to do it if you don't have another mac | 20:46 |
| zykotick9 | veric: use "sudo apt-get purge firefox" or "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" | 20:46 |
| guntbert | salim: you can create as many groups as you want - sudo addrgroup <newgroupname> | 20:47 |
| guntbert | *addgroup | 20:47 |
| novaspirit | hi i'm having trouble in trying to figure out if this is the right approach for this, i have two wireless nic with two internet connections. i've been looking up bonding the conection but that seem to apply on a same network situation. can't some one direct me to the right direction? | 20:47 |
| lickalott | zykotick9 you need the double dash for purge? | 20:48 |
| zykotick9 | lickalott: yes, a single dash implies a single character as an option, double-dash a word | 20:48 |
| lickalott | hrrrmm | 20:48 |
| epinky | could anyone help me find what's the architecture of "sudo" ? | 20:48 |
| lickalott | never used --. maybe that's why I still have remnants of vsftpd.... | 20:49 |
| lickalott | good to know | 20:49 |
| epinky | any presentation or paper will be appreciated | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | lickalott: but you don't either - "sudo apt-get purge foo" | 20:49 |
| veric | yep single did not work | 20:49 |
| lickalott | ahh | 20:49 |
| novaspirit | apt-get don't need -- | 20:49 |
| novaspirit | it's apt-get install | 20:49 |
| novaspirit | apt-get purge | 20:49 |
| lickalott | sudo = required? | 20:49 |
| guntbert | epinky: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:49 |
| lidar | epinky, architecture of the cpu makes more sense .. version of sudo .. | 20:49 |
| novaspirit | yes for apt-get if your root user | 20:49 |
| lickalott | copy | 20:50 |
| novaspirit | yes for apt-get if your NOT root user | 20:50 |
| novaspirit | typo | 20:50 |
| lickalott | tks | 20:50 |
| epinky | lidar: I mean, what modules are concerned, from the developer point of view | 20:50 |
| auronandace | epinky: modules? in relation to sudo? you've lost me | 20:51 |
| epinky | guntbert: no diagram of how the thing works, or how it can interface to PAM for example | 20:51 |
| MonkeyDust | epinky download the source and try to find out for yourself... sudo apt-get source sudo | 20:51 |
| lidar | epinky, i bet if you open the source files.. and read the #includes .. you would have good idea of whats going on ! | 20:53 |
| veric | had to sudo auto remove for left over files they all seem gone now | 20:53 |
| epinky | MonkeyDust: really? I was hoping there were slides somewhere | 20:53 |
| MonkeyDust | epinky you could make them, for future 'explorers' | 20:53 |
| soundray | novaspirit: I've no personal experience with this, but have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding ? | 20:53 |
| veric | how about for flash? | 20:53 |
| epinky | MonkeyDust: no way :) | 20:53 |
| soundray | novaspirit: it looks like it should work for completely independent connections | 20:54 |
| novaspirit | soundray: yes i have read it and tried it. It only works if both my nics are going to connecto to same network | 20:54 |
| soundray | novaspirit: okay… pity | 20:54 |
| novaspirit | soundray: yea, i'm still googling about it and what i think i'm trying to look for now is load balancer. | 20:55 |

| sarntam | Hi. I'm having trouble with my sound setup in Ubuntu 12.04. My sound card is a Realtek ALC269VC / Intel HD Audio. If I use stock ALSA that comes with 12.04, my headphones get muted when I plug them in, and I have to manually adjust the volume in alsamixer every time. I was told to update to a new alsa release, so I got the latest alsa-hda-dkms from Launchpad. This fixes the headphone issue! But now, VLC and Skype have crackling noises and tons | 21:04 |

| Kihokki | lidar, It can, but it is too complicated. I managed to make Kaffeine work, it found all the channels and recognized my tuner, knows which program is running but there is no audio or video. | 21:14 |

| powerplay | Hey everyone, can someone explain to me difference between login shell and non-login shell? | 21:14 |
| soundray | powerplay: it's in the initialization files that are loaded. For bash, this is explained in the section INVOCATION of the man page | 21:16 |
| powerplay | soundray: it says "A login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, orone started with the --login option." | 21:19 |

| ariqs | I believe it's just not showing on the monitor | 21:21 |
| ariqs | but it delays at that time | 21:21 |
| bekks | ariqs: Because grub is hidden by default. | 21:21 |
| MasterBob | What lidar asked. | 21:21 |
| ariqs | why isn't grub displayin the boot options | 21:21 |
| ariqs | bekks: so how do you unhide it?> | 21:21 |
| avaiano | teste | 21:21 |

| powerplay | lidar: my default shell is "bash" and i can get the color coding once i type "source ~/.bashrc" but the problem is i have to do this everytime i open up terminal | 21:27 |
| ariqs | at the point where he should get it, it says " | 21:27 |
| Multbrelch | well ... is it a standard 12.04 version u installed? | 21:28 |
| ariqs | input not supported | 21:28 |
| powerplay | lidar: do you know when i open up my terminal, am i in a login or non-login shell? | 21:28 |
| drag0nius | yep | 21:28 |
| drag0nius | and this very same bug exists since release of 12.04 | 21:28 |
| drag0nius | tried like 3 times over last half year | 21:28 |
| Multbrelch | and did u check in the internet if these cards work? | 21:28 |
| lidar | powerplay, check your permissions of .bashrc | 21:28 |
| soundray | powerplay: it depends on your setup. Generally, you'd have a non-login shell. | 21:29 |
| Multbrelch | wow, okay. Send bug report in launchpad | 21:29 |
| lidar | powerplay, its non-login on a default setup | 21:29 |
| drag0nius | i saw there are loads of topics already about it | 21:29 |
| Multbrelch | and? | 21:29 |
| powerplay | soundray: oh ok even after reading the man pages i am a little confused as to what differetiates a login shell from a non-login shell | 21:29 |
| drag0nius | and some people seem to find solution somehow | 21:30 |
| drag0nius | but dont write how | 21:30 |
| Multbrelch | Did you try older nvidia dirvers? | 21:30 |
| ariqs | where is the grub config file located now? | 21:30 |
| Multbrelch | You can download the 'drivers' from nvidia | 21:30 |
| zykotick9 | ariqs: most options in /etc/default/grub | 21:30 |
| drag0nius | both those from nvidia and propertiary just screw everything | 21:30 |

| Multbrelch | and its only with exactly 2 screens, right? | 21:31 |
| drag0nius | i dont think you can connect more | 21:31 |
| soundray | powerplay: it's in the invocation. If you use gnome-terminal, it should normally run as a non-login, interactive shell, ie. one that executes $HOME/.bashrc | 21:32 |
| drag0nius | to nvidia cards, theres some internal 2 screens limit per card ;d | 21:32 |
| Multbrelch | no, what I want to know is if u have same problems with only one | 21:32 |
| lidar | powerplay, i dont remember for sure but it may need to be +x try chmod +x ~/.bashrc | 21:32 |
| drag0nius | one seem to work fine | 21:32 |
| drag0nius | twin view too | 21:32 |
| drag0nius | but i need separated 2 | 21:32 |
| Multbrelch | launchpad ... ask there ... | 21:33 |
| soundray | lidar: no, definitely not. It only needs to be readable (powerplay) | 21:33 |
| kanna | say i have a group with gid 200 and two users in it 101 and 102.If the fsuid is 101,will access to gid 200's files be permitted? | 21:33 |
| Multbrelch | or nvidia? | 21:33 |
| jrib | hello google-land, the answer to my question about how to control the LEDs on my keyboard while inside X from a terminal is to use xset led (see « man xset »). Note you can only control scroll lock by default, but you can configure X to allow more with the XLeds option | 21:33 |
| drag0nius | i just cant belive it didnt get solved yet | 21:33 |
| powerplay | soundray: oh ok cause unfortunately its not executing it i dont know why :( right now what i have done is included "source ~/.bashrc" is my bash_profile. i dont know if thats the right way to go about it but it works | 21:34 |
| Multbrelch | there are also some other things which are not yet solved although they are important, also with respect to Compiz | 21:34 |
| kanna | say i have a group with gid 200 and two users in it 101 and 102.If the fsuid is 101,will access to gid 200's files be permitted? | 21:34 |
| powerplay | soundray: but i would rather have it execute bashrc by default like its supposed to | 21:34 |
| soundray | powerplay: it's a workaround (but it shouldn't be necessary) | 21:34 |
| lidar | powerplay, did you edit that file with root permissions by chance ? does your user account own it ? | 21:35 |
| jrib | kanna: "fsuid"? | 21:35 |
| soundray | powerplay: have you tried logging in as a different user and see if it behaves normally then? | 21:35 |
| drag0nius | i'd really love to move from windows to ubuntu, but always something isnt working | 21:35 |
| powerplay | soundray: no i am the only user on my system. should i just login as guest and give it a shot? | 21:35 |
| Multbrelch | I moved 2 years ago and: I never come back, hehe | 21:35 |
| Sokel | drag0nius: Like what. | 21:35 |
| kanna | jrib:the one u do by setfsuid function | 21:35 |
| drag0nius | like my video card | 21:35 |
| powerplay | lidar: no im about to try that | 21:36 |
| bekks | drag0nius: Which one is it exactly? | 21:36 |
| soundray | powerplay: that's a possibility. But see what lidar said | 21:36 |
| jrib | kanna: it would depend on the permissions of the file | 21:36 |
| drag0nius | i've either gtx 280 r gtx 560 ti and running 2 separate screens is absolute requirement | 21:36 |
| bekks | drag0nius: Two screens or two displays? | 21:37 |
| drag0nius | two monitors, whatever you call it | 21:37 |
| kanna | jrib:by default shudnt it be like members in the group could access group directory? | 21:38 |
| jrib | kanna: I don't understand what you just said | 21:38 |
| powerplay | lidar: and just another observation, when i do "ls" after the running "sudo su" then it works.... | 21:39 |
| kanna | If there is a group container,by default will the memners in the group get access to this directory or not? | 21:39 |
| zykotick9 | powerplay: don't use "sudo su" unless you want to break your user account... | 21:40 |
| soundray | powerplay: sudo -i is recommended over sudo su | 21:40 |
| powerplay | zykotick9: why will it break the account? | 21:40 |
| soundray | powerplay: this may well be what messed up your .bashrc | 21:40 |
| === keffie_jayx is now known as effiejayx | ||
| zykotick9 | powerplay: permission in you home dir will get messed up | 21:40 |
| powerplay | zykotick9: oh ok thanks | 21:40 |
| soundray | powerplay: can you do a 'ls -l ~/.bashrc' and paste the results? | 21:41 |
| jrib | kanna: it depends on the permissions... The default umask is 222, so I suppose members of the group will have read and execute permissions by default | 21:41 |
| kanna | ok thanks | 21:41 |
| powerplay | soundray: -rw-r--r-- 1 miker miker 413 Aug 28 14:44 /home/miker/.bashrc | 21:42 |
| soundray | powerplay: okay, that looks fine | 21:42 |
| lidar | powerplay, after you run sudo su you become root .. so you edited roots .bashrc | 21:42 |
| ikonia | you should not need to edit roots .bashrc | 21:43 |
| ikonia | and you don't need to sudo su to become root or edit that | 21:43 |
| powerplay | lidar: i see i have never edited bashrc | 21:43 |
| ikonia | (but you should not need to edit it anyway) | 21:43 |
| ikonia | powerplay: there is no reason to edit roots .bashrc as the root user is locked in ubuntu and therefore not used | 21:43 |
| powerplay | lidar: i am just trying to get it loaded like its suppose to | 21:43 |
| ikonia | powerplay: I strongly suggest you do not follow what lidar has suggested | 21:43 |
| powerplay | ikonia: ok so basically to change permissions of my bashrc? | 21:44 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: i believe lidar was explaining what powerplay might have already done... | 21:44 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2. I just noticed recently that the spellcheck no longer works in LO3, but it works in other places like this chat and the intranet. How do I fix this? | 21:44 |
| ikonia | powerplay: what do you want to change he permissions to ? | 21:44 |
| lidar | ikonia, powerplay im not suggesting he do it .. im pointing out the fact that he already did | 21:44 |
| ikonia | lidar: I see, thank you | 21:44 |
| powerplay | lidar: so i should try the chmod command u suggested? | 21:45 |
| soundray | ikonia: the sudo thing is a sideshow. The problem is that $HOME/.bashrc does not get sourced in the bash inside a newly opened terminal | 21:45 |
| ikonia | soundray: ok, great now we have a real problem | 21:45 |
| soundray | ikonia: we checked the permissions on ~/.bashrc -- those are okay (powerplay) | 21:45 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2. I just noticed recently that the spellcheck no longer works in LO3, but it works in other places like this chat and the intranet. How do I fix this? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | soundray: has the .bash_profile been changed to not source it ? | 21:46 |
| powerplay | soundray: so is this a bug since the man pages suggests that bashrc is suppose to get loaded | 21:46 |
| * jrib guesses "run as login shell" is checked | 21:46 | |
| ikonia | I don't think it's a bug | 21:47 |
| ikonia | either the bash_profile has been changed or it's not a login shell as jrib suggests | 21:47 |
| powerplay | ikonia: no the only thing i did in bash_profile is include the source command so it gets sourced. i just did it as a workaround | 21:47 |
| ikonia | powerplay: you don't need to include the source command | 21:47 |
| soundray | ikonia: Ubuntu doesn't create .bash_profile in the user's home by default now, does it? | 21:47 |
| ikonia | powerplay: there should be an if statement that will source it | 21:47 |
| powerplay | soundray: nope i had to create it | 21:47 |
| ikonia | soundray: it's on my machine | 21:47 |
| jrib | ikonia, soundray: it's ~/.profile now | 21:47 |
| === Rondom_ is now known as Rondom | ||
| ikonia | ahh there we go, it's gone back to the old bourne standard.....for no reason | 21:48 |
| ikonia | so .profile it is | 21:48 |
| ikonia | thank you jrib | 21:48 |
| soundray | ikonia: you've probably installed an older version and updated | 21:48 |
| soundray | jrib: okay, thanks | 21:48 |
| gordonjcp | Multbrelch: hi | 21:48 |
| jrib | powerplay: how are you sure that your .bashrc isn't being sourced? | 21:48 |
| kanna | will creating a new group ,create a new directory? | 21:48 |
| jrib | kanna: no, probably not | 21:48 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2. I just noticed recently that the spellcheck no longer works in LO3, but it works in other places like this chat and the intranet. How do I fix this? | 21:48 |
| powerplay | jrib: because the "ls" command results are not color coded, but once i run "source .bashrc" then they are | 21:49 |
| powerplay | jrib: which means i have to manually source it for it to work | 21:49 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: check that your .profile is sourceing .bashrc at the end. | 21:49 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: or .bash_login | 21:49 |
| Multbrelch | gordonjcp, u saw my message? | 21:49 |
| jrib | powerplay: it could (unlikely) mean that it runs and then something unsets your color settings | 21:49 |
| gordonjcp | Multbrelch: I saw you highlighted me, I didn't see your message | 21:49 |
| Multbrelch | gordonjcp, I could read the CD on an other computer, so it is the CD ROM device which does not well work with old CDs | 21:50 |
| gordonjcp | Multbrelch: cool | 21:50 |
| Multbrelch | on my first computer | 21:50 |
| gordonjcp | Multbrelch: and you read it off okay? | 21:50 |
| powerplay | dr_willis: my .profile does have a if statement for sourcing bashrc | 21:50 |
| Multbrelch | hehe, a CD from 1999 | 21:50 |
| gordonjcp | Multbrelch: maybe the lens needs cleaned | 21:50 |
| Multbrelch | may be | 21:50 |
| Multbrelch | I got all data | 21:51 |
| soundray | powerplay: I'd suggest checking the permissions and ownership on ~/.profile next with ls -l | 21:51 |
| powerplay | jrib: ya maybe bit u havent really done any tweaks in my bash | 21:51 |
| powerplay | soundray: here it is "-rw-r--r-- " | 21:51 |
| soundray | powerplay: okay, and the ownership? | 21:51 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 and it doesn't spell check anything. But spell checker works in other programmes and the intranet. | 21:51 |
| powerplay | soundray: what do u mean by owneshipo? | 21:52 |
| === adam_ is now known as Ironsight | ||
| soundray | powerplay: the owner and group of the file. Should be "miker miker" | 21:52 |
| === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan | ||
| powerplay | soundray: yup | 21:52 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: toss in some echo 'this is .profile' or other lines in the varioys configs to see whats getting ran when and where. | 21:52 |
| jrib | powerplay: it really is better imo to just run the command and pastebin the output including the command. A lot of times that lets one catch small details one wasn't even looking for | 21:52 |
| soundray | jrib: what command do you want powerplay to run? | 21:53 |
| jrib | soundray: nothing in particular. I was just suggesting it for the future. If he had just pastebinned the « ls -l ~/.bashrc », you wouldn't have had to ask for the ownership info again (and we could have also double checked he's checking the right file) | 21:54 |
| dr_willis | ls -l .profile .bashrc | 21:54 |
| soundray | jrib: got you | 21:54 |
| powerplay | jrib: alright | 21:55 |
| powerplay | dr_willis: -rw-r--r-- 1 miker miker 3413 Aug 28 14:44 .bashrc | 21:56 |

| jarson | why the hell would i need to hold control to click using a trackpad on a toshiba lappy, and how to make it act normally | 21:57 |
| powerplay | are you guys sure its a non login shell? cause man page states " When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and exe‐ | 21:58 |
| powerplay | cutes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, | 21:58 |
| powerplay | ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The | 21:58 |
| powerplay | --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior." | 21:58 |
| powerplay | " | 21:58 |
| FloodBot1 | powerplay: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:58 |
| jrib | powerplay: it isn't a login shell by default (well last time I checked anyway) when you open a new terminal, but there is an option in the configuration. It shouldn't matter anyway though because the default profile sources bashrc | 21:59 |
| drag0nius | would it be possible to create symbolic link between ntfs and fat3? | 22:00 |
| jrib | drag0nius: I don't think either of those filesystems support symlinks, do they? | 22:00 |
| powerplay | jrib: alrighty someone suggested to me that the problem is that i dont have a profile in the first place. could that be the problem? | 22:00 |
| Sokel | drag0nius and jrib NTFS supports symlinks. | 22:00 |
| drag0nius | i've a bit mishmashed steam on windows | 22:01 |
| drag0nius | like commons folder on one drive, then few games on another linked with those | 22:01 |
| jrib | Sokel: cool. Can you create them with just ln -s? | 22:01 |
| Sokel | jrib: Yes. | 22:01 |
| powerplay | jrib: also when i run "ls --color" i do get the color coded results | 22:02 |
| jrib | drag0nius: guess you can then :) | 22:02 |
| spiouki | hey I can't connect ubuntu 12.04 to win7 need help | 22:02 |
| drag0nius | what you mean? | 22:02 |
| spiouki | with samba ofcoarse | 22:02 |
| Sokel | jrib and drag0nius: Not only does NTFS support symbolic links between a linux file system and itself, windows has it's own method of symbolic linking as well. | 22:02 |
| Sokel | drag0nius: Just using ln -s source destination | 22:02 |
| drag0nius | spiuki you create samba share on same workgroup | 22:03 |
| drag0nius | then it should plain work | 22:03 |
| drag0nius | how can i get whole path on nautilus? | 22:03 |
| drag0nius | of current folder | 22:03 |
| jrib | powerplay: I'm confused when you say you don't have a profile. Why do you say that? | 22:03 |
| jrib | drag0nius: try ctrl-l (maybe) | 22:03 |
| spiouki | I installed samba and made a shared folder and i entered the password for windows but nothing happend | 22:04 |
| spiouki | where in windows should i look for the file i shared in ubuntu? | 22:04 |
| soundray | powerplay: you have a ~/.profile -- the ls -l you did earlier shows that it has 674 characters | 22:04 |
| powerplay | jrib: the person suggested to run this command for the fix: "sudo cd /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile" | 22:05 |
| jrib | powerplay: diff -Nurp ~/.profile /etc/skel/.profile | 22:06 |

| dr_willis | powerplay: the command was 'cp' not 'cd' | 22:08 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: do a 'cat .profile' and see if you do in fact have a .profile | 22:08 |
| jrib | powerplay: « cp /etc/skel/.profile ~ » will give you the default .profile, but I doubt it will affect your issue | 22:08 |
| soundray | dr_willis: but we know that already from the ls -l | 22:09 |
| freerobby | Can anybody explain why this works in a shell, but when the torquebox user runs a process via init.d, ulimit -n returns 1024 ? https://gist.github.com/7fff364c0bca20c27aa5 | 22:09 |
| powerplay | dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1174747/ | 22:09 |
| jrib | powerplay: pastebin your .bashrc | 22:10 |
| dr_willis | soundray: it could be empty | 22:10 |
| jrib | soundray knows its size (/me waits for dr_willis to say it could be whitespace) | 22:10 |
| freerobby | If nothing else I would expect an arbitrary process to derive from the system limit, which is 8192 (soft) | 22:10 |
| soundray | dr_willis: then it wouldn't show as having 674 characters, and it wouldn't diff with the one in /etc/skel/ like it has | 22:10 |
| powerplay | jrib: heres my bashrc http://paste.ubuntu.com/1174749/ | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | I think its time to drop back to the original problem. | 22:11 |
| drag0nius | how can i cahnge name in that ln -s? | 22:11 |
| drag0nius | i've different real folder name than desired link | 22:11 |
| Jay- | Anyone mind if I ask some foolish new user questions? Haven't used Linux outside of servers :| | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: go for it.. theres also the Ubuntu manual | 22:12 |
| dr_willis | !manual | 22:12 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 22:12 |
| Jay- | Ah thanks. But I wanted to ask some things about the interface, and suggestions for certain alternatives to Windows software | 22:12 |
| drag0nius | nvm got it | 22:12 |
| jrib | drag0nius: open a new terminal. Do you use gnome-terminal? What's the output of « alias ls »? | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | Top Unity Tip = press and hold the super (windows) key - to see a list of key shortcuts. ;) | 22:13 |
| Jay- | Is there any way to have a similar interface to Windows by having a horizontal taskbar at the bottom of the screen? | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: theres dozens of alternative desktops and interfaces | 22:14 |
| soundray | jrib: powerplay is having the terminal problem | 22:14 |
| Sokel | Jay-: Yes. Do not use unity. Problem solved. | 22:14 |
| jrib | soundray: thanks | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: lubuntu is very similer to the old windows 95 look. | 22:14 |
| jrib | powerplay: open a new terminal. Do you use gnome-terminal? What's the output of « alias ls »? | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: then theres the gnome fallback mode. | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: or just use one of the many docks to add a panel to the bottom to do whatever you want. | 22:15 |
| Jay- | Okay, two other questions. I read some lists of IRC client recommendations, but I wanted to hear an opinion from users in here. | 22:15 |
| powerplay | jrib: how do i figure out if i use gnome terminal? running alias ls give me "not found" | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | Jay-: totally depends on your needs.. Xchat for gui and weechat for console/ssh here normally | 22:16 |
| Jay- | Is there anything minimalist that doesn't sacrifice important function, with clean interface? | 22:16 |
| jrib | powerplay: heh, sorry I should learn to test things in bash instead of zsh | 22:16 |
| Ben64 | dr_willis: is it possible to use gnome2 and gnome-panel in 12.04? | 22:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 gnome-panel yes | 22:16 |
| powerplay | jrib: no worries | 22:16 |
| dr_willis | Ben64: gnome2 is dead - the fallback mode is close.. but i belive its got plans on getting phased out also. | 22:16 |
| Ben64 | what about the other versions of it? Can't recall the name but some people have picked up Gnome2 and are updating it still | 22:17 |
| jrib | powerplay: run gnome-terminal in your current terminal and see if it looks the same :P | 22:17 |
| Meris | Ben64, you probably mean cinnamon | 22:17 |
| dr_willis | Ben64: not supported by ubuntu. | 22:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 you're in the denial phase, cannot accept gnome2 is dead | 22:17 |
| dr_willis | Gnome 2 is dead.. time to move on. | 22:18 |
| Ben64 | gnome3 doesn't work for me | 22:18 |
| piezo | does anybody know if there is a gui for some kind of qos configuration? (i want to mangle nat packets aswell as local packets) | 22:18 |
| piezo | 3 | 22:18 |
| powerplay | jrib: yup it basically open up another terminal | 22:18 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 and it doesn't spell check anymore, but spell check works on other programmes and the intranet. Why? | 22:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 you're living in the past, gnome2 is dead | 22:18 |
| jrib | powerplay: ok, in that new terminal where you ran "alias ls", what is the output of: ps -ef | grep $$ | 22:18 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: don't care if i'm in the past. gnome2 works, gnome3 doesn't | 22:19 |
| powerplay | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1174769/ | 22:19 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 then try to make it work, like it does for the rest of us, with our help, if needed | 22:20 |
| Ben64 | i tried 12.04 and gnome3 for a week, asking questions here, no answers. So I gave up and went back to 10.04. It shouldn't take that much effort to get a functional system | 22:21 |
| lidar | Ben64, lots of alternatives out there | 22:21 |
| Meris | Ben64, try XFCE or LXDE | 22:21 |
| Ben64 | They don't have the panel plugins I want | 22:21 |
| dr_willis | details would help... | 22:21 |
| jrib | powerplay: you should try dr_willis's idea of adding some echo or touch lines into your .profile and .bashrc | 22:21 |
| lidar | Ben64, i installed fluxbox for exapmple but as Meris sais xfce and lxde are nice | 22:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 gnome3 isnt what you want, lxde isnt what you want, xfce isnt what you want | 22:22 |
| dr_willis | Windows 1.0! | 22:22 |
| Ben64 | CPU temp, GPU temp, CPU usage graph, RAM usage graph | 22:22 |
| Spectacle_K | Can ANYONE help/ | 22:22 |
| Meris | Ben64, LXDE uses OpenBox which is very similar to FluxBox | 22:22 |
| Ben64 | apparently only gnome-panel can do those 4 things | 22:22 |
| lidar | Ben64, xfce has all of that | 22:22 |
| powerplay | jrib: once i add the echo lines i just open and close my terminal? | 22:22 |
| jrib | powerplay: you can just open a new one from the menu | 22:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 you can install gnome-panel in gnome3 | 22:22 |
| jrib | powerplay: remember you want something like "echo profile executed" and "echo bashrc executed" | 22:23 |
| powerplay | jrib: ok so the syntax is just....echo "blah" | 22:23 |
| jrib | powerplay: yep | 22:23 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: the theming instantly broke when I did that | 22:23 |
| powerplay | jrib: ok ill give it a try | 22:23 |
| lidar | Ben64, you can also run gkrellm .. soo many options out there | 22:23 |
| Meris | Ben64, gkrellm is modular, very versatile | 22:23 |
| Mavrik | hmm, does anyone know a reason why "laptop-mode-tools" aren't installed by default? any bad side-effects? | 22:24 |
| dr_willis | gkrellm is also old skool. :) been around for ages. | 22:24 |
| drag0nius | is there way to further reduce volume of some device? | 22:24 |
| drag0nius | even on minimum its like 3 times too loud | 22:24 |
| jrib | drag0nius: tried pavucontrol and alsamixer? | 22:25 |
| brenden1 | #macosx | 22:25 |
| soundray | powerplay: I'm off. Hope you can track down the problem -- good luck | 22:25 |
| exutux | Mavrik: simply because it is an optional package | 22:25 |
| lidar | Mavrik, manually install it ? it should work fine | 22:26 |
| powerplay | soundray: ok thank you for all your help and efforts | 22:26 |
| timespliter | Hi. Does anyone here know how to show the user in channel list on Xchat for Ubuntu Unity? | 22:26 |
| Spectacle_K | Can SOMEONE please help me with my LibreOffice issue? | 22:26 |
| Mavrik | lidar, exutux, yeah, I was just wondering what was the reason for removal in 10.04+ | 22:26 |
| jrib | !ask | Spectacle_K | 22:26 |
| ubottu | Spectacle_K: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:26 |
| Mavrik | since it causes a noticable difference and I was just wondering if I'm causing problems to other people when I suggest installation :) | 22:26 |
| powerplay | jrib: i inserted echo statements on the top of both the files but not getting any output when i open up a new terminal | 22:26 |
| dr_willis | timespliter: sometimes the list on the right side gets 'resized' where its just 1 pixle wide. mouse over to the right edge and look for the cursor to change,, also check the menus to be sure its not hidden, | 22:27 |
| jrib | powerplay: you added them after the line that starts with #!, right? | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | I always hide the list anyway. ;) | 22:27 |
| Spectacle_K | I have LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 and it has stopped spell checking my documents. But spell check works in other programmes. How can I restore spell check to LibreOffice? | 22:27 |
| drag0nius | how can i set custom volume in alsamixer? | 22:27 |
| drag0nius | theres -77 db gain possibly by a bug but i'd still like to make it a little less | 22:27 |
| w0rm | hello nerds | 22:27 |
| Meris | dragO | 22:27 |
| lidar | Mavrik, in theory no package from the official repos should cause conflicts .. however if soemthing comes up its usually fixable | 22:28 |
| jrib | drag0nius: you could try amixer from the command line | 22:28 |
| powerplay | jrib: there is no line that starts with #! | 22:28 |
| jrib | powerplay: ok | 22:28 |
| geudrik | powerplay: do you know what language it's written in? | 22:28 |
| jrib | powerplay: for fun, run "bash -l" in your current shell and report what happens | 22:29 |
| Meris | drag0nius, try starting a terminal and starting alsamixer. Do you see a "Master" bar? | 22:29 |
| powerplay | geudrik: cant really tell | 22:29 |
| qw12 | how do i make the output of cron scripts emailed to root ? | 22:29 |
| powerplay | jrib: nothing happenas | 22:29 |
| jrib | qw12: I think you just need an mta installed (ubuntu doesn't have one by default) | 22:30 |
| drag0nius | yeah its on 0 :P | 22:30 |
| drag0nius | and gain is -77 | 22:30 |
| powerplay | jrib: if i run "bash -" and then run ls command then i do get the color coded output | 22:30 |
| geudrik | qw12: # apt-get install postfix | 22:30 |
| drag0nius | but i still wanna more | 22:30 |
| TierraTij | Is DonkeyHotei/Faqtotum here? | 22:30 |
| jrib | powerplay: you're not getting your echo outputs from either "bash -l" or "bash -"? | 22:30 |
| TierraTij | nvm | 22:31 |
| krababbel | drag0nius: that's probably set in hardware | 22:31 |
| Meris | drag0nius, you mean "less"...What does it say next to Card in AlsaMixer? | 22:31 |
| powerplay | oh i took out the echo outputs | 22:31 |
| powerplay | jrib: lemme insert them again and try again | 22:31 |

| Jimmy_Chunga | i'm running ubuntu 12.04 lts and usually at the login screen it will show the desktop background of the user. i turned on the computer one day and instead of showing my background it showed the default background instead. why is this? can i fix it? | 22:31 |
| drag0nius | i've audiotrak prodigy hd2 | 22:32 |
| drag0nius | but its still too loud xD | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: where is your background file saved to? | 22:32 |
| drag0nius | could i hack it somehow so the slider has like -200 db by default? xD | 22:32 |
| powerplay | jrib: ya not getting any outputs at all | 22:32 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | it's in a hidden file in the home directory. | 22:32 |
| jrib | powerplay: that's pretty weird... | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: check permissions on it perhaps. | 22:32 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | k, what am i looking for in permissions? | 22:32 |
| powerplay | jrib: that means that these files are not even being read right? | 22:32 |
| jrib | powerplay: you're not using sudo for any of this, right? | 22:32 |
| powerplay | jrib: nope | 22:33 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: what am i looking for exactly? | 22:33 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: see what permissions it has.. | 22:33 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: is your home encrypted also? | 22:33 |
| powerplay | jrib: anything else i can try or does this seem like a bug> | 22:33 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: i don't know, how do i check? it used to show my backgrounds, but now it won't. | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: make a new user.. see if it affects them | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: ls -l filename to see permissions.... | 22:34 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: forgive me, but what do you mean? | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: to see what permissions are on a file you use the 'ls -l' command | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | 22:35 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 22:35 |
| Meris | drag0nius, if you want to hack into the alsa setting, you can better look into: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page | 22:35 |
| jrib | powerplay: pastebin: strace bash -l |& grep '/\.' | 22:35 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: ok, what now? | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: and what are the permissions of the file? | 22:36 |
| Kevin1a | I'm having an issue with my sound stuttering, cutting out, buzzing, etc. Tried most of the normal ideas already. It happens in Ubuntu and Windows which makes me think hardware, but it happens with multiple different soundcards which makes me think software. I tried different speakers and cables so it has to be in the computer or software itself. Any suggestions on things I can try next? | 22:36 |
| powerplay | jrib: i get this " open("/home/miker/.bash_profile", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 | 22:36 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: the file? i'm sorry, i'm really new to ubuntu, i have no clue. i just entered the command and it's giving me drwxr on various files like 'desktop', 'documents', etc. | 22:37 |
| jrib | powerplay: that can't be the only output you get, is it? | 22:37 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: and the file you are using as your wallpaper.. whats its name.. and what permissions are on it? | 22:37 |
| powerplay | jrib: thats all i get then it hangs | 22:37 |
| jrib | powerplay: you can type "exit" and hit enter to quit it. Pastebin ~/.bash_profile | 22:37 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: the exact command 'ls -al whateveryourimagefilenameis' should tell you the exact info to be looking at. | 22:38 |
| Meris | Gotta sleep now. Bye everyone | 22:38 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: read and write under 'owner' | 22:38 |
| powerplay | jrib: bash profile is empty | 22:38 |
| jrib | powerplay: rename it (or just delete it) | 22:38 |
| exutux | bash_profile doesn't exist by default I think | 22:38 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: so the file name is Flowing Rock.jpg | 22:39 |
| powerplay | jrib: okay i deleted it | 22:39 |
| exutux | if you want customize your shell prompt you have to modify .bashrc | 22:39 |
| jrib | powerplay: run « bash -l ». Do your echo statements show up now? | 22:39 |
| powerplay | jrib: those arrows are not part of the command right? | 22:39 |
| jrib | powerplay: right | 22:39 |
| dr_willis | I thought if .bash_profile existes it does not parse the other .bash* configs | 22:39 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: i'm trying the command but it's saying it cannot access because of no such file or directory. | 22:40 |
| jrib | dr_willis: that's my thought now, yes | 22:40 |
| exutux | dr_willis: right | 22:40 |
| lsv | anyone here a grub wizard? | 22:40 |
| exutux | dr_willis: but you have to create manually it | 22:40 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: I suggest avoidding spaces in file names.. they just cause issues.. use single quotes around files with spaces in the names as a work around | 22:40 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: ls -l 'the file name.jpg' | 22:40 |
| powerplay | jrib: nope still no luck :)( | 22:41 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: it says no such file or directory | 22:41 |
| powerplay | jrib: :( | 22:41 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: is it because i moved these pictures from another computer? | 22:41 |
| exutux | bash_profile is a local file, and bashrc it's global | 22:41 |
| jrib | powerplay: pastebin: strace bash -l |& grep '/\.' | 22:41 |
| drag0nius | hmm | 22:42 |
| drag0nius | steam does not follow that ln -s link | 22:42 |
| drag0nius | on ubuntu at least | 22:42 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: whats the exact ls command you are using? | 22:42 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: ls -l 'Flowing Rock.jpg' | 22:42 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: "ls: cannot access Flowing Rock.jpg: No such file or directory" | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: and what directory are you in? what directory is the file in? 'pwd' or the prompt shows your current directory | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: and the TAB key can be used to auto complete file names. | 22:43 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: "xxxx@xxxx-HP-G62-Notebook-PC:~$" | 22:44 |

| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: the file is under a hidden folder in the home directory called '.Customization' | 22:45 |
| jrib | powerplay: pastebin ~/.bash_login | 22:45 |
| Newtoubuntu | lsv: yes i had the same problem. ill send you a link soon | 22:45 |
| lsv | Newtoubuntu: Thanks | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: then you need to check the permissions of that directory and the file. | 22:45 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: how do i do that?\ | 22:45 |
| lsv | k3rn3l_klink: maybe wait? | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: via the ls command like we have been using. It may be a good idea to go spend an half hour reading some bash tutorials. | 22:46 |

| dr_willis | ls -l .Custm<tab key>/Flo<TabKey> | 22:46 |
| jrib | powerplay: for now just rename the file while we troubleshoot. Later you may want to move that to .bashrc (or .profile as appropriate) | 22:46 |
| Newtoubuntu | how can i exit a program that wont close normally? | 22:46 |
| Jimmy_Chunga | dr_willis: ok, but... so it's under the hom directory so i'd do 'ls -l' and then the directory? | 22:46 |
| powerplay | jrib: so rename both bashrc and profile? | 22:47 |

| jrib | powerplay: no, rename ~/.bash_login and nothing else | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | Jimmy_Chunga: its Not in your Home direcotry - you just said its in the .Customization directory. | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | ls -l .Customization or ls -ld .Customization | 22:48 |
| k3rn3l_klink | is it a good idea to update to 12.04 LTS now? | 22:48 |

| trashdeb | Hello. I'm trying to dual-boot Ubuntu using WUBI. I have installed Ubuntu using WUBI on a fresh install of Windows 7. If I shut down my laptop and boot Ubuntu, it works. But once I've started Windows again, I can't start Ubuntu anymore. The following errors appear: "try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr" "Try (hd0,1): NTFS5: error: "prefix" is not set.", after which the GRUB command prompt is shown. | 22:55 |
| MonkeyDust | wubi :( | 22:56 |
| Newtoubuntu | how do i close a program that wont close normally? | 22:56 |
| daemon | killall / kill | 22:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Newtoubuntu alt-f2 xkill | 22:56 |
| freerobby | I apologize for repeating questions but I've pined through hundreds of threads on the ubuntu forums/docs and I just can't find anything on this. I can get ulimit -n to work fine in a shell (https://gist.github.com/7fff364c0bca20c27aa5), but never to hold a value for an upstart process. Does anybody know how to set the ulimit values for processes that are not spawned in a bash shell? | 22:57 |
| jrib | freerobby: I have no idea if it addresses your question, but have you checked the upstart cookbook? | 22:57 |
| freerobby | jrib: I have. | 22:57 |
| jrib | freerobby: there's a #upstart here on freenode that may be able to help | 22:58 |
| Newtoubuntu | MonkeyDust, thanks. that is an awesome method used on this OS | 22:58 |
| freerobby | jrib: Ubuntu appears not to be honoring my /etc/default/ubuntu values, but I have no idea why. | 22:58 |
| trashdeb | Newtoubuntu: Go to System Monitor -> Processes. Select your program and kill it. | 22:58 |
| freerobby | jrib: Thanks, I'll ask there. I don't think it's an upstart issue though. | 22:58 |
| Newtoubuntu | trashdeb, thanks. | 22:58 |
| freerobby | I think upstart is just an example of something that isn't getting spawned from a shell. | 22:58 |
| histo | Newtoubuntu: from terminal you can kill someprogramname if it's really hung up you can use kill -9 someprogramname | 22:58 |
| trashdeb | Newtoubuntu: np, good luck. | 22:59 |
| Newtoubuntu | histo: thanks. | 22:59 |
| jrib | freerobby: how are you setting the ulimit? | 22:59 |
| trashdeb | though kill -9 is very much not recommended from what I've heard.. | 22:59 |
| MonkeyDust | Newtoubuntu mind: xkill kills the graphical interface, not the process | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | trashdeb: well, it depends | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | trashdeb: it may leave things in an uncertain state | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | trashdeb: what's really not recommended is running stuff that needs to be kill -9'ed | 23:00 |
| freerobby | jrib: I've tried a few things. Set high system limits in /etc/security/limits.conf. Tried making a /etc/default/ubuntu that set it. Also tried setting it directly in the upstart file. | 23:00 |
| Newtoubuntu | gordonjcp, what is the normal method to just kill a single program then? | 23:01 |
| jrib | freerobby: did you see if it made a difference whether the service starts at boot or later on? (So for example stop the service and then start it again after the boot process is over) | 23:01 |
| lsv | Newtoubuntu: gonna try it now. I'll be back. | 23:02 |

| h00k | tushar: Do that on your IRC application, not a terminal. | 23:16 |
| lsv | Newtoubuntu: oh :( My brightness somewhat works | 23:16 |
| tushar | bash: /join: No such file or directory | 23:16 |
| trashdeb | tushar: That's not an answer. Do you want to see your Timeline or do you want to chat with your Facebook friends? You can only chat with your Facebook friends using Pidgin. | 23:16 |
| tushar | chat | 23:17 |
| goddard | im planning on buying some bluetooth speakers for my laptop any recommendations? | 23:17 |
| trashdeb | Okay. Then Pidgin should work. | 23:17 |

| tushar | hook? where i have to type ##java? | 23:19 |
| Newtoubuntu | lsv: no because i literally had the same boot issue with an older version of ubuntu. i have also seen on forums some fedora users experiencing the same problem. | 23:19 |

| nOde | I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my dell laptop a few days back. But whenever I choose ubuntu, the fan speed increases so much that I can even hear the sound. I've not installed any external graphics card. The one I have is Intel 4000. | 23:21 |

| Super_Dog | Anybody done an upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04.1 LTS on Ubuntu? Just showed up as a viable upgrade option in the last week or so. | 23:29 |
| Daghdha | Hmm, wasn't there when i upgraded | 23:30 |
| Daghdha | Had to go trough 11 | 23:30 |
| Daghdha | iirc | 23:30 |
| compdoc | Super_Dog, I see some ppl mentioning it in the mailing list | 23:30 |
| Super_Dog | What mailing list are you talking about? | 23:31 |
| compdoc | the ubuntu support mailing list | 23:31 |
| Super_Dog | You have a URL for that? | 23:31 |
| compdoc | you can get more detailed support using it | 23:31 |
| Super_Dog | I'm on the forums and stuff. Didn't know they had a "mailing list"... | 23:31 |
| compdoc | http://lists.ubuntu.com/ | 23:32 |
| Super_Dog | (Super_Dog has limited brain bandwidth... :-) | 23:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Super_Dog type /me blah | 23:32 |
| tushar | can any one tell me where i can write my java code for practice? | 23:32 |
| tushar | please? | 23:33 |
| compdoc | Super_Dog, hold on, theres a better page | 23:33 |
| MonkeyDust | tushar in this channel, type /join #java that is with the slash | 23:33 |
| tushar | can any one tell me where i can write my java code for practice? | 23:33 |
| compdoc | http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists and click on ubuntu-users | 23:34 |
| Super_Dog | Holy crap batman.... That's a lot of lists. | 23:34 |
| compdoc | ^ | 23:34 |
| tushar | monkeydust: nothing happnen | 23:34 |
| Chaser | Super_Dog, I did. It was fine except for some pop up dialog boxes with alien characters during the upgrade. I hit what I thought was OK button and it went on. | 23:34 |
| Super_Dog | Chaser... Do you have a LAMP installation on your desktop? | 23:35 |
| harris | i am running ubuntu 12.04 but instead of unity i am in mint how do i remove the bottom bar so that the only dock is docky | 23:35 |
| Chaser | Super_Dog, sorry nope | 23:35 |
| Super_Dog | Particularly interested in how 10.04 to 12.04 upgrade will go with LAMP. | 23:35 |
| tushar | monkeydust: ? | 23:35 |
| Super_Dog | Guess I better clone this sucker just in case the worst happens before I try the upgrade. | 23:36 |
| MonkeyDust | tushar ! | 23:36 |
| Daghdha | Well, i trust you will 1st make a backup | 23:36 |
| tushar | monkeydust: nothing happen | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | harris: if you are using 'mint' you should be in the mint support channels. | 23:36 |
| histo | This is interesting booting ubuntu cd in virtualbox. I cannot resolve dns queries but I can ping inet addresses by ip. I've tried both NAT and Bridged mode for network settings for the vm. | 23:36 |
| Chaser | Super_Dog, thats a good idea even if otherwise | 23:36 |
| histo | I can confirm that in bridged mode all my dns servers pulled are those that the host machine is running | 23:36 |
| Super_Dog | Chaser: But your 10.04LTS to 12.04.1 LTS upgrade went smoothly other than some weird alien characters? | 23:37 |
| Chaser | yup ! | 23:37 |
| harris | what is the mint channel | 23:37 |
| harris | ! mint | 23:37 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:37 |
| Super_Dog | Chaser: You running 12.04 LTS right now with satisfactory upgrade? You didn't have to re-install from scratch. | 23:37 |
| zokk | hmm how do i switch from xubuntu load/login screen to ubuntu/unity ? | 23:38 |
| Newtoubuntu | mint cinnamon | 23:38 |
| Newtoubuntu | yum | 23:38 |
| MonkeyDust | tushar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#GNU_Compiler_for_Java | 23:38 |
| Chaser | Super_Dog, thats correct. Its a desktop but have been using it as build machine. | 23:39 |
| Newtoubuntu | Is there a way i can replace the position of my Operating Sytems order at the grub menu? | 23:39 |
| Super_Dog | Cool... Running 12.04 LTS on some other machines over here but I know that the support runs out in April so I want to bite the bullet and just go for it. | 23:39 |
| Super_Dog | All the other machines I'm running with 12.04 were virgin drive installs and not upgrades. | 23:40 |
| Chaser | I am sticking to 10.04 till support ends for my laptop though. | 23:40 |
| dr_willis | Newtoubuntu: by altering the /etc/default/grub or the /etc/grub.d files | 23:41 |
| Super_Dog | I actually am running 12.04 on my laptop and upgraded through the whole cycle - 10.04 -->11.04 -->11.10 --> 12.04. | 23:41 |
| Spectacle_K | Does anyone know how to make a list of all the installed programmes on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation so that I can just simply restore them on a fresh install of Ubuntu? So I don't have to go through the Software Centre and reinstall them all individually. | 23:41 |
| Super_Dog | I guess I just got lucky with that one. | 23:41 |
| dr_willis | !clone | Spectacle_K | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Spectacle_K: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 23:41 |

| === Guest14476 is now known as JillyB | ||
| dr_willis | but that factoid is a bit out of date.. your eally sholdent be using aptitude these days., | 23:42 |
| Spectacle_K | dr_willis: And this will back up all my programmes so that I can reinstall them all at once? | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | Super_Dog: the upgrades usually work. I went from Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy -> Lucid | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | it makes a LIST of the installed packages. | 23:42 |
| Super_Dog | The desktop I'm running has a sweet install of AjaxPlorer with a LAMP stack and that's why I've been hesitant to mess with it until the 12.04 LTS upgrade path was released to the public. | 23:42 |
| Newtoubuntu | how do i gain root access? | 23:42 |
| Chaser | Super_Dog, I remember having to tweak xchat2 profile when I upgraded from 8.04 -> 10.04 on my laptop but other than that it was smooth as far as I can remember. | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | Newtoubuntu | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Newtoubuntu: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 23:42 |
| Spectacle_K | dr_willis: and can I use this list to restore my apps all at once so I don't have to install them individually through the software centre? | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | Spectacle_K: the use of aptitude is not reccomended these days | 23:43 |
| Spectacle_K | dr_willis: And why is that? | 23:43 |
| dr_willis | Spectacle_K: once you have that list in a text file. you could make your own script to install them | 23:43 |
| dr_willis | !aptitude | 23:43 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 23:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K here's what I did: made a manual list of all installed, abiword, preload etc etc and put it in a text file // I just have to install it by copy/paste in a terminal | 23:43 |
| Super_Dog | I had some spotty upgrades in the past and that's why I'm a little nervous... I was thinking the LTS to LTS upgrade (10.04 -->12.04) should be a little more solid. | 23:43 |
| Spectacle_K | dr_willis: MonkeyDust how do I do this? | 23:44 |
| dr_willis | i alwyas just do clean installs.. but i do test/install tons and tons of junk i try out once. | 23:44 |
| blackshirt | super_dog, why do you feel nervous? | 23:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K manually :) | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | Super_Dog: 12.04 is very different from 10.04, but the upgrade itself should work fine | 23:44 |
| Spectacle_K | This is what I don't want to do. I have a lot of programmes installed and going through them one by one takes too long. I just want to be able to install them all at once, or automatically. | 23:45 |
| trashdeb | dr_willis: Yes, you could make your own script, but I don't think Spectacle_K has the knowledge to do that. | 23:45 |
| trashdeb | dr_willis: Could he make a list of all the applications he has now and do "apt-get install PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 PACKAGE3 PACKAGEETC" when he is on his fresh install? | 23:45 |
| Spectacle_K | So I can walk away from the computer and come back to the installed programmes? | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | Spectacle_K: once you get a list.. you make a script with a lot of 'apt-get install whatever' from that list. | 23:45 |
| Super_Dog | Because interim release upgrades on some hardware have not gone as well for me. But I must confess that the most recent upgrades have been much better. | 23:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K then try apt-on cd, it creates a list too, in an iso file | 23:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K that's aptoncd | 23:46 |
| Super_Dog | Some of the 8.X to 9.X and 9.X to 10.X upgrades a few years ago were particularly nasty... | 23:46 |
| blackshirt | spectacle_k, what do you mean? | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | Super_Dog: you could back up first in case things go awry | 23:46 |
| harushimo | is there a way to do a purge remove of an application in ubuntu | 23:46 |
| harushimo | I forgot the command | 23:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K catch, if you did apt-get clean, you can no longer use aptoncd | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | harushimo: apt-get purge | 23:46 |
| krios | anyone got xmonad on ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| Spectacle_K | blackshirt: I mean I just want to be able to do a clean install, run a script or whatever and it starts installing all the apps and programmes I had on Ubuntu before the reinstall. That way I don't have to manually click install in the software centre for each programme. | 23:47 |
| harushimo | thank you | 23:47 |
| jrib | !anyone | krios | 23:47 |
| ubottu | krios: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:47 |
| Spectacle_K | I apologise and thanks for your patience everyone I just apparently have no clue when it comes to advanced Ubuntu stuff. | 23:47 |
| lovesvolt | I got a Asus G75vw, GTX670m with no integrated gfx. When I try to install Ubuntu it finishing the install, but at first boot the screen goes purple and then "crashes" into lines in different colors. I think i need drivers to my GPU but since I can't get any picture at all I don't know how to install them. HALP! | 23:47 |
| Super_Dog | Yeah... Any particular imaging / cloning procedure you guys like before I upgrade here? I was thinking of stealing more space away from the Windows Server installed on this box by resizing the drive partitions with GParted. | 23:48 |
| MonkeyDust | Spectacle_K that's not advanced ubuntu stuff, that's called a backup | 23:48 |
| blackshirt | spectacle_k, you can dpkg-repack your programs | 23:48 |
| Spectacle_K | Well it's advanced for me X3 | 23:48 |
| Super_Dog | ConeZilla? DD? Anything else? | 23:48 |
| Spectacle_K | blackshirt: And how do I do that? | 23:48 |
| blackshirt | and install thats you want | 23:48 |
| blackshirt | you should install dpkg-repack first | 23:49 |
| Spectacle_K | I just want my programmes to install automatically without me having to click 'install' on each one. | 23:49 |
| blackshirt | and then you can use dpkg-repack to repackage the programs installed | 23:50 |
