| protoCall7 | and I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 Server, btw | 00:00 |
| Jef91 | how do I configure a user to auto-login to lightdm using the CLI? | 00:00 |
| Troy^ | another question when my ubuntu box starts up and asks for login? sshd server does not start untill i actually login to a user. How do i get it to auto login or start sshd before that? | 00:01 |
| pf | alguien en español | 00:01 |
| Sach | wilee-nilee: have you left? that worked! so what do i do now? | 00:01 |
| daemon | ah got it nm ;) | 00:01 |
| Sach | histo: yes, thanks. that worked! so what do i do now? | 00:01 |
| ratbert90 | Can the kernel support wifi and bluetooth off of the same sdio connection at the same time? | 00:01 |
| pf | alguien me puede ayudar en español | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | !es | pf | 00:01 |
| ubottu | pf: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: My guess is that sshd is in fact starting before you log in, it's just the network connection isn't connection. Do you use wireless on this machine? | 00:02 |
| pf | ok | 00:02 |
| Troy^ | no i do not Jordan_U | 00:02 |
| histo | daemon: groupadd dns then do it | 00:02 |
| daemon | histo, I really wanted: `useradd -M -d /dev/null -s /dev/null`; | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: Standard ethernet connection using dhcp? | 00:02 |
| daemon | `useradd -M -d /dev/null -s /dev/null dns`; | 00:03 |
| daemon | even | 00:03 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: static ethernet | 00:03 |
| daemon | the group dns will be auto created for it | 00:03 |
| ratbert90 | Can the kernel support wifi and bluetooth off of the same sdio connection at the same time? | 00:03 |
| pepperjack | protoCall7: sonds like there is some issue with your raid setup but i don't often mess with raid so I probably wouldnt be best resourcee | 00:03 |
| histo | daemon: -s /dev/null will make it so their default shell is /dev/null so you know as well | 00:03 |
| rsvp | daemon, are u a bot? | 00:03 |
| daemon | histo, thats perfect its for pdnsd | 00:03 |
| histo | rsvp: mp | 00:03 |
| daemon | rsvp, use .help to get a command list | 00:04 |
| protoCall7 | Hmm, thx pepperjack. I'm not having much luck with the googles on this one today :) | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: OK, did you configure the static connection via network-manager? | 00:04 |
| protoCall7 | If anyone does know RAID though, I'd be happy to sanitize the password hashes out of my pressed and paste bin it | 00:04 |
| pepperjack | protoCall7: i imagine a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda would fail as well. | 00:04 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: it is actually a server version so no gui | 00:04 |
| protoCall7 | pepperjack: let me see if I can get a term and try it | 00:04 |
| histo | Troy^: How do you have the network configured? | 00:04 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Jordan_U | Troy^: So how did you configure the connection, /etc/network/interfaces? | 00:05 |
| Troy^ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176901/ | 00:05 |
| protoCall7 | pepperjack: no, that lists out just fine. Looks like theres already a raid config on there from a previous installation. I'm going to try to wipe the partition table and try again. | 00:05 |
| histo | Troy^: can you ping the box prior to logging in? | 00:06 |
| rsvp | Q: when a GUEST ACCOUNT is used by a guest -- what records are created, and are they transitory after logging out? They have no home directory, so where is the user trace kept ???? | 00:06 |
| Troy^ | histo: that I do not know and we have to take the server down and find out. | 00:06 |
| histo | Troy^: is it possible that you just tried to quickly and the network just wasn't up all the way at the time? | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | rsvp: A home directory is created for them in /tmp/, and deleted when they log out. | 00:07 |
| cyrano_ | running 12.04 and I've recently noticed when my laptop isn't connected to a wired network when booting plymouth gives me errors about connecting to network and will take 60 seconds before it just finishes booting | 00:07 |
| Troy^ | histo: perhaps. as you guys say sshd service should start without even logging in when booting the server | 00:07 |
| histo | Troy^: yes | 00:07 |
| rsvp | Jordon_U, do you know the name of that guest directory in /tmp ??? Thanks for your response. | 00:08 |
| histo | cyrano_: can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file | 00:08 |

| protoCall7 | hmm, after wiping the partition tables and trying again, i get mdadm: Can not open /dev/sda: Device or resource busy. | 00:11 |

| histo | cyrano_: do you use wireless? | 00:13 |
| Troy^ | Sach: from a url . The better and simpler solution is to install gxine through synaptic. And believe it or not, it works! Once you open gxine, then there will be an option for DVD/VCD etc… choose VCD and you have a player that plays VCDs. The Screenshot below is of the gxine menu. | 00:13 |
| Sach | histo: what do I do with that? | 00:13 |
| clervis | Skype 4.0 for Ubuntu video calls not working. I can receive video, webcam tests fine, but does not activate during a call. Audio send/receive is fine. | 00:14 |

| cyrano_ | histo: I do when my laptop is not docked | 00:14 |
| histo | Sach: are you sure it's a vcd and not a dvd | 00:14 |
| Sach | histo: positive. | 00:14 |
| Troy^ | sach: try gxine | 00:14 |
| histo | Sach: i'm pretty sure vlc should handle that let me check | 00:14 |
| histo | cyrano_: commend the auto eth0 line in your /etc/network/interfaces file | 00:15 |

| djabbour | Hi all. I've got a LVM volume (called vg0 / public) that is built on top of two md raid arrays. I'm currently in the process of adding a third array, and pvmoving one of the (old and degraded) arrays out. md0, md1 are old, and md2 is new. md0, however, booted with one failed disk. Now, md is reporting two failed drives, and device-mapper is reporting "raid1: Unable to read primary mirror during recovery". I'm in the process of pvmovi | 00:41 |
| djabbour | ng away from this broken array. The vol group appears to be still operational, despite md0 showing two failed drives now in mdstat. (1) How is this possible? I thought once two drives fail inraid5, the volume shouldn't be readable? and (2) pvmove is running VERY slow. Looks like it's going to take another 3-4 days at this rate. Is there anything I can do to speed up this process or prevent futher data loss? | 00:41 |
| krazyk_work | histo: AH HAH.. it's not | 00:41 |

| krazyk_work | histo: pardon my newbishness, but what's the best way to go about setting up the uuid properly in fstab | 00:42 |

| graingert | djabbour: (I think this channel is too noobish for your requirements - you seem fairly expert) perhaps ask in the dm raid irc? | 00:42 |

| histo | djabbour_: It shouldn't be able to rebuild either with only 1 disk | 00:57 |
| bkc_ | SpaceBass: did you select the new JRE-implementation after you installed it? | 00:57 |
| SpaceBass | thanks szal , i understand what's required, and I've installed the JDK from the repo and Firefox and Chrome still don't recognize it | 00:57 |
| bkc_ | dpgk-reconfigure | 00:57 |
| SpaceBass | bkc_, might need to try that | 00:57 |
| bkc_ | dpkg-reconfigre * | 00:57 |
| SpaceBass | bkc_, I used the Oracle package, and set the default enviroment | 00:57 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Are your filesystem working well? | 00:58 |
| SpaceBass | bkc_, so it wasn't installed from package?. although I can remove it, install openjdk again and try that with dpkg | 00:58 |
| Launch_Director | worm: i used ext3 | 00:58 |
| Launch_Director | so i guess so | 00:58 |
| worm | Launch_Director: then "set prefix=(hd0,8)/boot/grub" | 00:58 |
| Launch_Director | worm: the rest are NTSF from my windows partition | 00:58 |
| worm | As if you can list all of the files in Grub rescue, your filesystem should be OK. | 00:59 |
| worm | Launch_Director: after set prefix, try insmod normal again | 01:00 |

| WeThePeople | hi | 01:00 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Sorry, it is "set prefix=(hd1,1)/boot/grub" | 01:01 |
| worm | I forgot to change it to yours... | 01:01 |
| Launch_Director | worm: now it says unknown filesystem | 01:02 |
| Jrad100 | Sup guys? Got any remote servers up? | 01:02 |
| WeThePeople | is the a good reliable with no bugs irc client, xchat is gettin old | 01:02 |
| Launch_Director | worm: it's possible i might have been wrong about the sdXX | 01:02 |
| Jrad100 | no one chats on here. | 01:02 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive noticed any bugs in xchat. | 01:02 |
| dr_willis | I use weechat 90% of the time these days | 01:02 |
| Jrad100 | Weechat? | 01:02 |
| Launch_Director | worm: altough i do remember seing sdb1 or 2 | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | thats its name.. dont wear it out... | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 01:03 |
| Jrad100 | ;D | 01:03 |
| WeThePeople | weechat is a terminal based irc cli | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | Yes it is.. correct. | 01:03 |
| worm | Launch_Director: how about ls's result? | 01:03 |
| Jrad100 | Is their a hotline client? | 01:03 |
| WeThePeople | that means no mouse | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | Never heard of HotLine. | 01:03 |
| WeThePeople | lol | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | WeThePeople: cant say that ive needed a mouse in weechat... | 01:03 |
| Jrad100 | Hotline from Bigred H | 01:03 |
| Jrad100 | The only way to get it now is torrent though ;D | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | i ssh in from my phone to my homepc.. and run weechat | 01:04 |
| worm | If you can see boot home lib root tmp usr var etc. you are now in correct partition. | 01:04 |
| Launch_Director | worm: ls shows me only (hdX,msdosX) | 01:04 |
| Launch_Director | where X is a number from 1 to 5 | 01:05 |
| jeeves_moss | I just upgraded my server and now Dovecot won't start. What is the trouble shooting process to find out why? I've looked in the logs, and there is nothing other than Postfix | 01:05 |
| worm | You may try to use your installation CD and choose "Try without change" or something like that to start up your computer, then you can find out which one is your Ubuntu root. | 01:06 |
| Jrad100 | Hey, I can't see Weechat on her? | 01:06 |
| Jrad100 | Here*? | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | Jrad100: what do you mean... | 01:06 |
| Jrad100 | I'm looking to get weechat. | 01:06 |

| dr_willis | apt-cache search patternname | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install wee<tab> ;) | 01:07 |
| Launch_Director | worm: and i should get something like (hdX) ? | 01:07 |
| Jrad100 | Brb. | 01:07 |
| worm | Launch_Director: and also want to make sure if you are on "grub rescue>_" or "rescue grub>_" | 01:07 |

| worm | Launch_Director: Just count. sda=hd0 sdb=hd1 etc. so sda1=hd0,0 sda2=hd0,1 | 01:08 |
| Launch_Director | worm: cool thanks, ill do some trial and error | 01:09 |
| worm | Launch_Director: when you can see "rescue grub", try normal to get back to normal grub | 01:09 |
| qualia | What's the URxvt.buffered resource used for ? | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | actually with grub2 dosent one of those start with 1 now... | 01:09 |
| setuid | Ok, that didn't work | 01:11 |
| setuid | Looks like Nvidia drivers don't work at all on Ubuntru | 01:11 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Sorry for my fault. it should be like this: (hd0) = sda; (hd0,1)=sda1; (hd1,3)=sdb3 | 01:11 |
| setuid | I've tried all of those in the repo, and th eones upstream in the NVIDIA website | 01:11 |
| shade34321 | if I do grep -r some_phrase in a folder it should check every file in that folder for some_phrase right? | 01:11 |
| Launch_Director | worm: looks like it got insmod normal for hd1,2 | 01:11 |
| Launch_Director | worm: what do i type in now | 01:12 |
| worm | Launch_Director: That's my fault... I got used to grub1 ... and grub 2 made some small change. | 01:12 |
| Launch_Director | btw nothing happened after i did insmod normal | 01:12 |
| worm | Launch_Director: try normal | 01:12 |
| Launch_Director | showed up | 01:12 |
| Launch_Director | :D | 01:12 |
| worm | The original grub? | 01:13 |
| Launch_Director | worm: the normal :) | 01:13 |
| szal | setuid: what card, what driver(s) did you try? | 01:13 |
| Launch_Director | but it can't find the partition | 01:13 |
| setuid | szal, Every single NVIDIA driver in the repo, from 96 through 173 and up to current with nvidia-current | 01:13 |
| setuid | None of them permit a working X server using the nvidia driver | 01:14 |
| Launch_Director | worm: when i select ubuntum it says no such partition | 01:14 |
| szal | setuid: for what card? | 01:14 |
| setuid | Oddly, this has been working on my laptop for the last year, without a problem. I upgraded to the current packages for my distro, and now it's dead. Including all previous verisons. | 01:14 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Then press e to edit the ubuntu's location | 01:14 |
| setuid | szal, Quadro NVS 4200M | 01:15 |
| Launch_Director | worm: yep i see now, | 01:15 |
| Launch_Director | inmod gzio | 01:15 |
| worm | Launch_Director: As if you can understand what we've done in "grub rescue", you should be able to understand the lines. | 01:15 |
| szal | hmm, no idea about Quadro.. iirc, that's mostly a case for the 'old-legacy' 96 driver | 01:15 |
| Launch_Director | worm: ye, there are several lines, one says "insmod ext2" ,should it change this to ext3? | 01:16 |
| worm | Sure | 01:16 |
| setuid | szal, tried that, but let me try -again- and see if it works where it didn't 10 minutes ago | 01:16 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Change everything to make it suits your computer. | 01:17 |
| szal | setuid: you might want to double-check what driver to use by visiting nvidia.com and selecting your gfx card model (you don't have to download the driver from there) | 01:18 |
| Launch_Director | worm: i should prob put in the ubuntu install disk to check for sure what partition | 01:18 |
| Launch_Director | worm: atm it won't even boot into windows :(,, lots of stuff to fix | 01:20 |
| Launch_Director | worm: i'll try with hirene | 01:20 |
| worm | Launch_Director: if you don't want to do that, you can do this: press Esc to back to the OS menu, then try these commands: (hold on a second. I am going to pastebin it.) | 01:20 |
| worm | Press c to enter command line, and then... | 01:21 |
| setuid | This is insane | 01:21 |
| setuid | Does Ubuntu really go from working to non-working without obvious warning? | 01:21 |
| setuid | this is insane | 01:21 |
| worm | Launch_Director: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176986/ | 01:22 |
| worm | If it works correctly, you should be able to re-build your grub configure automatically. | 01:23 |
| Launch_Director | worm: cool, but i need to know the values of x, and y, atm they all show up as (X,msdosY) | 01:23 |
| Launch_Director | or i just write the commands exactly? | 01:24 |
| worm | That (hdx,y)is where your ubuntu there. | 01:24 |
| setuid | un-fscking believale | 01:24 |
| worm | Launch_Director: it should be (hd1,2) | 01:24 |
| krazyk_work | histo: wow, that tool startup disk creator looks like it worked well (and fast) bout to try it on all 3 computers.. thank you | 01:24 |
| worm | Launch_Director: as I tried to make it suits every condition | 01:25 |
| jean_brat | Hi. i am using linux mint 13 from few months and is great. i have windows 7 in my C drive which is infected with some virus, and i want to format my C drive and reinstall 7 without have any impact on MBR so that after the installation my mint 7 should still boot. is there any way to do that? | 01:26 |
| worm | Launch_Director: Wish your problem can be all solved... I even have not got a computer with grub2 now... | 01:26 |
| setuid | jean_brat, which part of your question has to do with Ubuntu? | 01:27 |
| krababbel | jean_brat: probably not, but you should ask in #windows | 01:27 |
| joint2k | i think you have to do it from scratch.. delete grub and everything else | 01:28 |
| jean_brat | sorry. setuid . its just a query i think any of you might have experienced the same issue | 01:28 |
| daemon | hey all if I update /etc/networking/interface to make it static (which works fine) is there anyway I can make it come into place without rebooting | 01:28 |
| joint2k | then reinstall windows, and go from there | 01:28 |
| Launch_Director | worm: yeh i'll check in hirene or something, i can't find the partition, i keep getting "No such partition" when i try to run "linux /vmlinuz" | 01:28 |
| worm | Launch_Director: have you seen anything when you typed "(hd1,2)" | 01:29 |
| Launch_Director | worm: atm nothing other than above | 01:30 |
| daemon | jean_brat, before doing ANYTHING make a backup | 01:31 |
| worm | You may try hd1,1 again...I am getting confused... | 01:31 |
| daemon | a full one | 01:31 |
| krazyk_work | histo: it looks like it works.. but every time I run it, it look like I need to click "Try Ubuntu" from the ubuntu install GUI instead of grub. Does this seem right to you?? | 01:31 |
| Launch_Director | worm: i'll try with hirene if that doesn't work ill try with ubuntu cd, and report back :) | 01:31 |

| joint2k | amr_ this will install gnome 3.4.2 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 audo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 01:45 |
| amr_ | I like this interface so much ,I see it's really worth to move from windows to ubutnu | 01:46 |
| joint2k | ubuntu currently uses gnome 3.4.1 in its own repositories | 01:46 |
| skpl^ | would running low on disk space prevent my launcher and panel from coming up after i log | 01:46 |

| Anom01y | nautilus doesn't like sd cards | 02:00 |
| Anom01y | thunar does | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | if you are running xfce. it could be the automounting service thats confused. | 02:00 |
| Anom01y | ah right, | 02:01 |
| Anom01y | I closed nautilus, remounted the sd card, opened thunar, and everything worked | 02:01 |
| Anom01y | maybe its because 2 programs are trying to mount the device at the same time | 02:01 |
| Anom01y | nautilus, and the other is xfce's auto-mounting | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | I thought both used .gvfs but its been a long time sice ive used xfce | 02:02 |
| Anom01y | I am going to shut off xfce's auto-mount and retry with nautilus | 02:04 |
| Anom01y | becuase Nautilus is by far more superior to thunar | 02:04 |
| Anom01y | thunar is so basic its pointless | 02:04 |

| tking | lidar is it compulsory, i think there is an inbuilt one.. bcos during installation it gave the option for me to take a picture which i did... so i am wondering if there is something out of the box | 02:15 |
| WeThePeople | lidar, not yet | 02:15 |
| lidar | tking, that was part of the installer only i "think" cheese is just a little program for taking webcam pics of yourself | 02:16 |

| lidar | histo, yeah it sees it as a wired network card | 02:31 |
| histo | lidar: okay vzaccessmanager is needed to trigger the link with that modem I guess. If check out vzam.net they have it there in the enterprise section. VZW techsupport should be able to give you credentials to get to the download. | 02:32 |
| lidar | histo, it just disconnects every 5 seconds or so tried all the settings i could find ect. ect. there is a new driver out for win7 however ndiswrapper wont work with it | 02:32 |
| lidar | histo, i never called i guess it may be worthwhile | 02:33 |
| histo | lidar: yeah I would always try but you may have to go through several people to get someone that knows what linux actually is | 02:33 |
| lidar | histo, i would still have to dual boot due to some specialized software i need for work however if the aircard worked i could use linux 90% of the time instead like 20% i am now | 02:34 |

| xckpd7 | can I get some help? I can't ping 8.8.8.8 on my remote Ubuntu box | 02:45 |
| xckpd7 | but I can ping google.com | 02:46 |
| histo | xckpd7: how are you connected to the remote ubuntu box? | 02:46 |
| xckpd7 | histo: ssh | 02:46 |
| histo | xckpd7: can you ping other ips like 4.4.2.2 | 02:46 |
| xckpd7 | yeah... basically some stuff isn't responding, some stuff is | 02:47 |
| xckpd7 | I'm not getting a response for 4.4.2.2 | 02:47 |
| pepperjack | you dont live in china do you ;) | 02:47 |
| histo | xckpd7: sounds like a internet issue location wise not necessarily something wrong | 02:47 |
| histo | xckpd7: yeah do you live in china? | 02:47 |
| xckpd7 | pepperjack: the box is in uk... but it's just some dedicated | 02:48 |
| histo | xckpd7: or should say is the remote box in china or a country that filters internet | 02:48 |
| xckpd7 | and I don't see why google.com would work but 8.8.8.8 woudln't | 02:48 |
| histo | xckpd7: you could route the remote boxes web traffic through your box with ssh if it's an issue right now. but most likely something is wrong in that region for the time being. | 02:48 |
| xckpd7 | histo: sure? because I just got the box... figured it was user error | 02:49 |
| xckpd7 | histo: thought it might be because of resolve.conf | 02:49 |
| xckpd7 | or maybe something I did when I configured it. but that makes a little sense I guess | 02:49 |

| === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ | ||

| utv | well, my computer is not recognizing it | 05:04 |
| utv | I have two graphics cards, but my computer only recognizes one....and it seems all the drivers and updates are installed | 05:04 |
| RipresaTecn | hehe your operating system isnt recognizing it :P if comp isnt then you got hardware problem hehe | 05:04 |
| lidar | utv is your computer one that has nvidia and intel cards ? | 05:05 |
| utv | it has AMD | 05:05 |
| utv | Radeon cards | 05:06 |
| utv | ATI * | 05:06 |
| lidar | utv: a desktop ? | 05:06 |
| utv | Yes. | 05:06 |
| lidar | utv: you need to install fglirx | 05:06 |
| utv | lidar = when i tried to, my computer said the instillation failed | 05:07 |
| cowsquad | am I in the ubuntu channel? | 05:08 |
| RipresaTecn | yes | 05:08 |
| lidar | utv: you see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 05:08 |
| cowsquad | okay, I am new to ubuntu, and I would love to know what window manager people uses? | 05:09 |
| cowsquad | any thoughts? | 05:09 |
| RipresaTecn | fluxbox here but i dont recommend if your new | 05:09 |
| cowsquad | So, fluxbox removes replaces unity, right? | 05:09 |
| lidar | fluxbox as well \ | 05:09 |
| RipresaTecn | well ir can replace | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | it*\ | 05:10 |
| lidar | cowsquad: you would be happeir with lxde or xfce probably | 05:10 |
| cowsquad | Am i able to use fluxbox with compiz? | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | agreed | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | no | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | there both wm can only have one at a time | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | you can have compiz with lxde however | 05:10 |
| RipresaTecn | or xfce | 05:10 |
| cowsquad | lidar, I tried kde but it looks like windows lol. I dont like windows nor do I like apple lol | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar: nomodeset wasnt an option for me, cause compiz doesnt work anymore | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | lidar:ill learn to live with the square mouse pointer lol | 05:11 |
| lidar | cowsquad: install xfce and try it | 05:12 |
| lidar | lotuspsychje: ah the lil things in life | 05:12 |
| cowsquad | so, to the fluxbox users, what is so cool about it? | 05:12 |
| RipresaTecn | if you didnt know unity also uses compiz so you can have wobbly windows and such | 05:12 |
| RipresaTecn | its lightweight and greatly customizable | 05:12 |
| RipresaTecn | and very stable | 05:13 |
| lidar | cowsquad: i actually kind of like unity .. however its not for weak systems for sure | 05:13 |
| cowsquad | ripresaTech, yeah I already have compiz on my ubuntu. | 05:13 |
| RipresaTecn | yah im not much of a fan of eycandy | 05:13 |
| cowsquad | lidar, so what do you consider a weak system? | 05:14 |
| RipresaTecn | id take windowmaker over compiz lol | 05:14 |
| cowsquad | I agree with you ripresatechn, but i like the windows animation lol | 05:14 |
| lidar | cowsquad: less than 2 gigs of ram | 05:14 |
| cowsquad | ok lidar, | 05:15 |
| lidar | using fluxbox i was able to get ubuntu down to 213mb of ram usage | 05:17 |
| cowsquad | lidar, so do you think that compiz eats ram like crazy? | 05:17 |
| lidar | cowsquad: yeah running unity ... my ram usage is 500mb | 05:18 |
| AnDsO | need a little help on installing snmpd | 05:18 |

| cowsquad | lidar, Do you know but any change how to get to work mtp on ubuntu. Like I want to connect my android galaxy nexus and transfer file, but for some reason, ubuntu does not detect my device | 05:20 |
| AnDsO | i installed snmpd but no port is opend for it any one please help :) | 05:20 |
| lidar | cowsquad: can you change the usb mode on the nexus ? | 05:20 |
| cowsquad | My bad, it does detect my device, but i wont let me see any files | 05:20 |
| lidar | AnDsO: sudo iptables -F will disable any firewall rules \ | 05:21 |
| cowsquad | That is the issue lidar, galazy nexus doesnt have usb mode anymore, it uses mtp or ptp | 05:21 |
| AnDsO | i disabled firewall by disabling ufw | 05:22 |
| cowsquad | So the only choices that i have is mtp, which obviously does not work on any linux distro. Ptp works, but it would only access pictures | 05:23 |
| lidar | cowsquad: install mtpfs and mtp-tools | 05:23 |
| cowsquad | that is why i am trying to search on google. it seems like a mess :) | 05:24 |
| lidar | seems silly | 05:25 |
| AnDsO | i am getting message starting snmpd but ports are not opening and also i can see any process running :S | 05:26 |

| jalexandru | Hi, by mistake I erased all my users from ubuntu 12.04, now when I open the computer I get a guest login that comes back to the login screen and a "login" where it asks me for the username and password but non of the ones that worked won't do anything, anybody knows a solution? | 05:29 |
| scri | jobs for root, that is | 05:29 |
| lidar | here it is my awesome desktop! http://i.imgur.com/1fjlO.png | 05:29 |
| scri | jalexandru: login as root, and make sure the users' directories still exist | 05:29 |
| smw | jalexandru, how did you erase the users? | 05:29 |
| lidar | jalexandru: use a live cd/usb stick and fix it ! | 05:29 |
| smw | jalexandru, I would normally boot into single user mode and fix it | 05:30 |
| RipresaTecn | windows ? | 05:30 |
| smw | lidar, no cd needed | 05:30 |
| smw | jalexandru, when grub boots up, you need to add "single" to the kernel parameters | 05:30 |
| smw | jalexandru, then it will give you the command line as root | 05:30 |
| smw | you can make modifications such as adding a user or allowing login as root | 05:31 |
| smw | jalexandru, http://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub | 05:32 |
| jalexandru | thanks guys, will try and report back ... | 05:32 |

| lidar | im in my inlaws "winter" home the internet is turned off | 05:33 |
| RipresaTecn | just wondered it looked like ubuntu but the icons and the taskbar made me think it was windows but if thats windows it makes it all the more nicer | 05:34 |
| RipresaTecn | much more difficult to customize | 05:34 |
| loxety | just installed 12.04 last night, boy has Ubuntu changed since 10.04 | 05:35 |

| RipresaTecn | hey is there a way to hide the login and logout messages | 05:38 |
| unsobill | zzz | 05:38 |
| loxety | the only thing I dont care for is the lack of a task bar | 05:40 |
| tnm | Hellow! What are the best options for ext4 partition in fstab? | 05:40 |
| lidar | loxety: did you install myunity ? | 05:41 |
| dwakar | lidar: so you can hide taskbar with myunity? | 05:42 |
| lidar | loxety: its better than boys town in mexico ;) | 05:42 |
| loxety | yes | 05:42 |
| loxety | I also installed Tint2 | 05:43 |
| lidar | dwakar: no but you can tweak abunch of things about unity | 05:43 |
| loxety | that solved the problem | 05:43 |
| RipresaTecn | shouldnt make diff between ubuntu and arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab | 05:43 |

| glassresistor | installing ubuntu12.04 server on a machine with a ssd and hdd, im putting / and swap on an encrypted LVM with home,tmp, and data on the hdd | 05:57 |
| glassresistor | im looking at mount options and typical usage on the ssd any advice? | 05:57 |
| RipresaTecn | glassresistor: why do you want root encrypted but home not? | 05:57 |
| glassresistor | and should the ssd be ext2-4 | 05:57 |
| glassresistor | RipresaTecn: home with be encrypted user by user | 05:58 |
| RipresaTecn | ahh gotcha | 05:58 |
| glassresistor | yeah | 05:58 |
| david_ | if I installed cinnamon will I get duplicate programs in Ubuntu. Like two gedits for example? | 05:58 |
| glassresistor | i want logs, etc. and OS stuff on something that can't be altered without my knownledge, or people being able to read the lgos | 05:59 |
| glassresistor | david_: whats cinnamon? but probably not if its a desktop or something | 05:59 |
| RipresaTecn | youll get two gedit like applications i do believe | 05:59 |
| RipresaTecn | as they develed there own | 05:59 |
| RipresaTecn | but it wont install the same program twice | 06:00 |
| glassresistor | RipresaTecn: but yeah i forgot what mount options options ssds liked | 06:00 |
| glassresistor | and if I should switch typical usage to large so it writes to disk less often | 06:00 |
| david_ | and if I dont like it I can use synaptic to completlty remove it and all its apps without messing up my Unity? | 06:00 |
| RipresaTecn | should david_ | 06:01 |
| david_ | k thx | 06:02 |
| glassresistor | big question for old ssd ext2/3/4 w or w/o journal? | 06:06 |
| pritesh | how can i open password protected terminal, means on clicking terminal, first asks for the password | 06:06 |
| RipresaTecn | probably w/o it would write less saveing some write cycles of the ssd | 06:07 |
| RipresaTecn | enter root password or user password | 06:07 |
| glassresistor | so ext2 then? ext3 and 4 requires | 06:07 |
| RipresaTecn | yes | 06:07 |
| glassresistor | and for my data/home is XFS or ext4 more setup for doc-movie sized files? | 06:08 |
| RipresaTecn | not sure on that question sorry | 06:09 |
| RipresaTecn | wow i just looked it up for my own knowledge and it looks xfs is better for larger files and fragment less | 06:10 |
| RipresaTecn | grrr keep replaceing well with wow need to go to bed | 06:11 |
| glassresistor | yeah i keep going back nad forth | 06:11 |
| glassresistor | grew up on resiser and never really trusted ext2 and 3/4 becuase of that legacy | 06:11 |
| glassresistor | when btfs is ready ill just go to that | 06:11 |
| glassresistor | really wish zfs had been implemented on linux | 06:12 |

| jivora | Hi I want to install Dummynet for ubuntu. Pl help me with this. Dummynet was developed only for BSD based oses. Am not finding much info for ubuntu. | 06:12 |
| glassresistor | lotuspsychje: nothing really its just religious ext2 dropped so much data and i always wanted to stay on the rieser path but he had to go to jail and all | 06:13 |
| glassresistor | but at this point things like zfs and btfs are just so far ahead of the curve as soon as btfs works with fscheck and is repairable im switching over | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | jivora: you like iptables? | 06:17 |
| jivora | lotuspsychje.. I do but i need something for controlling traffic.. I mean the download and upload speeds etc. I used tc with netem but looks like Dummynet is a better choice. | 06:18 |

| pyrrhic | smw, no smw. I had a separate partition for media all on the same drive. | 06:48 |
| glassresistor | lotuspsychje: with sata how do i define the boot disk? | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | pyrrhic: you sure can get your data back from ntfs partition with photorec | 06:48 |
| newbye | sorry I wanted to say that months ago when I installed my linuxbox I change sshd config in order to get access by root but not changed anymore after that | 06:48 |
| smw | pyrrhic, is the partition still there? | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | bbl | 06:48 |
| pyrrhic | smw, yes it's just corrupt | 06:49 |
| newbye | smw: sorry I wanted to say that months ago when I installed my linuxbox I change sshd config in order to get access by root but not changed anymore after that | 06:49 |
| pyrrhic | smw, i was resizing it in gparted and the power went out | 06:49 |
| smw | pyrrhic, ok, this is beyond my knowledge | 06:49 |
| smw | pyrrhic, ouch, that is bad luck | 06:49 |
| pyrrhic | smw, yep. just a surge.\ | 06:49 |
| newbye | smw: which line ? Match User root or ChrootDirectory /home/angola/cucm_bkup ? | 06:50 |
| smw | newbye, these are separate lines? | 06:50 |
| Dan39 | oo im still in #ubuntu :D sweet | 06:50 |
| newbye | yes two lines | 06:50 |
| newbye | smw: yes two lines | 06:50 |
| smw | newbye, can you pastebin the entire file please? | 06:50 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: have you tried some any of these solutions: http://nitinpant.hubpages.com/hub/Repair-Partition-Table http://superuser.com/questions/275086/damaged-ntfs-partition-by-gparted | 06:50 |
| newbye | smw: yes of course, one moment | 06:51 |
| Dan39 | ok so i add noatime to my /home partition in fstab and unmount then mount -a, but when i do mount it shows it with relatime... | 06:51 |
| lidar | hmm wasnt noatime deprecated | 06:52 |
| Dan39 | im not sure | 06:52 |
| somsip | lidar: assumed in defaults now innit? | 06:52 |
| pyrrhic | somsip, neither. im installing windows on a VM now though | 06:52 |
| pyrrhic | lidar, sup bro? | 06:52 |
| Dan39 | i dont see a need for it on my /home partition tho | 06:52 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: ok - worth a try | 06:52 |
| lidar | nada themeing! | 06:53 |
| glassresistor | lets say i have 3 sata harddrives, how do i differentate which is the one to boot from? | 06:53 |
| Dan39 | isnt that in the BIOS... | 06:53 |
| newbye | smw: pasted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177271/plain/ | 06:53 |
| k1l | glassresistor: the first in boot order will bott first | 06:54 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: Another linked from a successful solution in 6/2012 http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 06:54 |
| glassresistor | Dan39: probalby im just dumb its a Gibabyte mother board | 06:54 |
| smw | newbye, it wants me to login | 06:54 |
| smw | newbye, how about using fpaste.org? :-) | 06:54 |
| glassresistor | k1l: i mean boot order is like hd cdrom etc. | 06:54 |
| k1l | glassresistor: most mainboards boot from sata port1 to sata port X | 06:54 |
| glassresistor | i look at the sata page and its like master 1 slave 1 masther 2 slave 2 | 06:55 |
| pyrrhic | somsip, test disk doesnt work for me | 06:55 |
| newbye | smw: sorry I am new | 06:55 |
| k1l | glassresistor: master /slave was ide | 06:55 |
| smw | newbye, no problem | 06:55 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: just bored and looking for solutions. I'll stop now... | 06:55 |
| glassresistor | k1l: im just saying what the screen says | 06:55 |
| smw | newbye, fpaste I don't think is used often here, it is just my favorite ;-) | 06:55 |
| pyrrhic | somsip, you're fine i appreciate the help | 06:55 |
| glassresistor | its definately sata hthough | 06:55 |
| lidar | pyrrhic: i think you should download new porn and forget about that ntfs drive! | 06:56 |
| pyrrhic | lidar, it's 90% music | 06:56 |
| pyrrhic | 10% movies | 06:56 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: remind me - you resized a large NTFS into a ext3/4 and NTFS, but didn't defrag first and a flying car took out your power halfway through | 06:56 |
| glassresistor | if i remove the home hdd it boots but fails for reasons due to lack of home and other folder | 06:56 |
| k1l | glassresistor: the bios looks out for a bootloader on the first sata port, then the 2nd sata port etc. get that sorted out | 06:56 |
| newbye | smw: fpaste told me "You might have reached the 512KiB limit!" | 06:57 |
| pyrrhic | somsip, resized a smaller ntfs into a large one and while it was going a car went airborne and hit a transformer down the road. yes. | 06:57 |
| lidar | glassresistor: boot single user and create a /home directgory | 06:57 |
| somsip | pyrrhic: what other partitions were on the drives - multiple NTFS or a mix of fs? | 06:58 |
| lidar | glassresistor: or from a live cd | 06:58 |
| smw | newbye, try again | 06:58 |
| smw | newbye, that happens sometimes XD | 06:58 |
| glassresistor | lidar: i mean the home dir is on a harddrive i removed to get it to boot | 06:58 |
| glassresistor | ultimately id like to add this back | 06:58 |
| newbye | smw: Paste #222843 by newbye | 06:59 |

| rajumoh | quick question, what does autoremove in apt-get do, i did a autoremove some time back and it removed configuration related to my xorg, browsers and a few other things .. | 07:07 |
| lidar | autoremove is like russian roullet in the world of .deb packages .. never know which ones may die! | 07:08 |
| gordonjcp | rajumoh: it removes packages marked as unused | 07:08 |
| rajumoh | lidar: where were u when they were updating the man pages that one line would have saved me :-D | 07:08 |
| rajumoh | gordonjcp: who does this unused marking ? | 07:09 |
| rethus | how can i execute pm-hibernate in 12.04 | 07:10 |
| rethus | if i try to run, i get the message to become root to do it | 07:10 |
| somsip | rajumoh: If package ABC is installed and it depends on package DEF, when ABC is uninstalled, DEF is marked to be deleted by autoremove, AIUI | 07:11 |
| lidar | some linux commands are like sleeping with hookers sounds like a fun idea .. until you realize what actually happened ! | 07:12 |
| rajumoh | somsip: that's what i figured and hence i did not see the list of packages that were shown before auto remove configuration, and then it burned.. have fixed most of it though, could anyone tell me which package in kde is responsible making gnome dependent softwares kde(ish) | 07:13 |
| murlidhar | how can i reset an app settings? i am not able to select a disk image in usb startup disk creator in 12.04 | 07:14 |
| somsip | rajumoh: yeah - it maybe easy to confuse automremove if packages are installed from sources other than apt-get, but I've always been ok with autoremove. I tend to install stuff, and if I don't like it, I autoremove immediately to I don't have cruft hanging aroudn my syste, . Can't help on 2nd point about KDE | 07:15 |
| lidar | apt-get remove foo.gnome.app .. apt is like ^%$#& lets get rid of all of gnome ! and same with kde :)) | 07:16 |
| lidar | not that i have ever done such a thing of course! | 07:17 |
| AnDsO | how can i set up snmp login when i try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info' | 07:17 |
| rajumoh | somsip, lidar gordonjcp : thanks all , will be a bit carefull with autoremove hence forth .. | 07:19 |
| rajumoh | down to some googling again :-D | 07:19 |

| vhdirk | anyone here an apt poweruser? | 07:59 |
| baizon | vhdirk: just ask you question | 07:59 |
| luftikuss | vhdirk: Yours was no smart question. | 08:00 |
| vhdirk | I'm running precise, and need boost > 1.46 for some project I am working on | 08:01 |
| somsip | vhdirk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61384/where-do-i-find-an-up-to-date-version-of-boost | 08:01 |
| somsip | vhdirk: PPA linked to in there | 08:01 |
| === nopcode_ is now known as nopcode | ||
| vhdirk | now, 1.48 is in the repository, but another dependency (pcl), which has a ppa, has a dependency on libboost-<somelib>-dev (without the version number) | 08:03 |
| vhdirk | is there some way I can tell apt that 1.48 provides the default dev package? | 08:03 |
| luftikuss | vhdirk: "apt pinning" can be done using Synaptic. | 08:04 |
| vhdirk | somsip: the comments on that article suggest that using that ppa results in a dependency hell, which is exactly what I want to avoid | 08:06 |
| goddard | Is less settings a design philosphy for Ubuntu? | 08:06 |
| goddard | when i say settings I mean gui configuration options | 08:07 |
| somsip | vhdirk: can you pin 1.46 or 1.47 to avoid the problems? | 08:07 |
| ssta | goddard: setting are confusing...you don't need em. JUst be thankful for the beatiful defaults that you already have! </cynical> | 08:08 |
| k1l | goddard: im sure more settings follow when the base is set right | 08:09 |
| xNbtx | Bonjour | 08:09 |
| vhdirk | It seems I need to resort to compiling boost myself: liboost-random1.48-dev (for example) does not provide libboost-random-dev, so pinning won't help me I guess | 08:09 |
| nbubuntu | somsip : do you know any program that preserve date on modified file ? | 08:10 |
| somsip | nbubuntu: in what context? | 08:11 |
| nbubuntu | somsip : preserve file time line modified | 08:12 |
| somsip | nbubuntu: are you meaning when you cp or mv or something else? | 08:12 |
| jarco | if I want to run a command when ubuntu start do I add it before or after the exit 0 in /etc/rc.local ? | 08:13 |
| somsip | jarco: before. Exit runs last and does what it says | 08:14 |
| jrib | jarco: before (though it's probably better to not use /etc/rc.local depending on what excatly you are doing) | 08:14 |
| === Ovid is now known as Guest9662 | ||
| jarco | I figured before :) | 08:14 |

| rax- | Is this some kinda bug in apt? I run the following commands in a script but before apt-get dist-upgrade finishes the grep line kicks in and reboots the server (when the kernel is being updated)... Annoyingly it only seems to happen sometimes.. | 08:19 |

| helpme22 | i have natty & i don't want to relpace it | 08:30 |
| helpme22 | it works beautifully | 08:30 |
| helpme22 | but metacity leaks memory and it grows from 13MB to over 190MB | 08:30 |

| ThinkT510 | helpme22: you'll need to replace it come october | 08:30 |
| helpme22 | mine is 1:2.30.3 | 08:30 |
| helpme22 | and there is 1:2.35 | 08:30 |
| helpme22 | this is the latest version i think with the bug fix | 08:31 |

| helpme22 | i did alot of work on natty and i don't to upgrade. natty is 2011 | 08:32 |
| helpme22 | i still use windows XP which was released in 2001 | 08:33 |

| rax- | ActionParsnip: You would think so, but it's not working that way. :\ | 08:33 |
| helpme22 | so 2 yrs old and you want me to upgrade | 08:33 |

| ActionParsnip | helpme22: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases clearly states 'October 2012' | 08:33 |
| helpme22 | action you are asking me to upgrade each year for eacdh release. that's what you are telling me | 08:34 |
| helpme22 | i want to use natty for at least 6+ yrs | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: its the support of Ubuntu, Natty is dead soon | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: it will run, you will just getzero support and zero updates | 08:34 |
| helpme22 | i don't care!! it works and it works too well for me to upgrade | 08:34 |
| helpme22 | how to update the metacity and stop wasting my time | 08:34 |
| ikonia | helpme22: you shouldn't upgrade individual components | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | (09:32:31) ActionParsnip: helpme22: is there a PPA for the newer versio | 08:34 |
| ThinkT510 | helpme22: drop the attitude | 08:35 |
| helpme22 | i don't know if there is a PPA for it thats' why i'm asking | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: did you even read my recommendation (I pasted it for you in case0 | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: think you should maybe look then? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | helpme22: keeping the whole OS in sync (especially around X11) is the correct way to manage any upgrade | 08:35 |
| helpme22 | yeah my fault action | 08:35 |
| helpme22 | thank you | 08:35 |
| * ActionParsnip shrugs | 08:35 | |
| helpme22 | i think talking to a search engine will give me a better result | 08:35 |
| gordonjcp | helpme22: improving your attitude would give you a better result too | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | 08:36 |

| gordonjcp | helpme22: "stop wasting my time" isn't going to encourage people to help you | 08:36 |
| ikonia | helpme22: just to be clear, I'm strongly advising you not to upgrade individual componets of the OS beyond the version shipped with th eOS | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: the link there is where you should search | 08:36 |
| helpme22 | naa.. people telling me what to do and what's right of me is the wrong attitude | 08:36 |
| ikonia | helpme22: well, you came in here asking for help - so people will tell you what to do as part of the advice, if you can't handle that, you should not ask for help | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: when it is EOL, nobody will help you with anything and you will get no security updates and such. Your call | 08:37 |
| helpme22 | like a guy paying mortgage for 30 yrs and he couldnt handle the increase interest rates and he lost the house in a week to the bank | 08:37 |
| ikonia | you are free to ignore the advice and carry on | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: thats not similar in any way | 08:37 |
| helpme22 | better for him to life a dignifying life paying rent and saving the rest of his money for later | 08:37 |
| ikonia | helpme22: stop | 08:37 |
| ThinkT510 | helpme22: there is a clear support timeline, if you wish to ignore that then you are on your own | 08:37 |
| ikonia | helpme22: do you need any more help from this channel yes/no ? | 08:37 |
| helpme22 | so what's good for me people ! | 08:37 |
| gordonjcp | helpme22: upgrade to the latest LTS | 08:38 |
| ikonia | helpme22: you've been told what is good options for you and you got upset | 08:38 |
| ikonia | hedo you need any other help/advice | 08:38 |
| helpme22 | WRONG! | 08:38 |
| gordonjcp | oh well | 08:38 |
| MonkeyDust | helpme22 does not want help, s/he just wants attention | 08:38 |
| ikonia | and it's done / over, lets move on | 08:38 |
| gordonjcp | anyone seen Airplane? "Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help" | 08:39 |
| BebopSteve | Has anyone here replaced the boring lock screen in 12.04 with lightdm? From what I understand it was removed because of bugs with nvidia cards and the LTS tag, but I have a "nothing special" intel onboard and would like the functionality. I'm trying to find how to do it | 08:41 |
| kriestof | Guys I need some gui for avconv or ffmpeg. I'm not able to handle with ccommand line. :) | 08:42 |
| BebopSteve | I was browsing gnomelook to emulate the sexiness with something similar but I have had no luck | 08:43 |
| Bahaman | gordonjcp: Yes got mono going. | 08:43 |
| Bahaman | The cmd was simply a bit different, that's all. | 08:43 |
| somsip | kriestof: a few links recent on omgubuntu eg: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/format-junkie-convert-your-media-files-to-all-the-popular-formats.html | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | Bahaman: cool, is it working?[3~ | 08:44 |
| vishal | my ubuntu software center not installing any software | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | Bahaman: I've not played with C# at all but I know it does work ;-) | 08:44 |
| ThinkT510 | Bahaman: any reason you are using C# to write a hello world? there are better cross-platform languages to work with | 08:45 |
| gordonjcp | ThinkT510: it may not be a "hello world" program | 08:45 |
| Bahaman | gordonjcp: Yes it's working. | 08:45 |
| ThinkT510 | gordonjcp: thats what he said earlier | 08:45 |
| vishal | why my ubuntu software center not working correctly | 08:45 |
| Bahaman | ThinkT510: I simply exploring C#, so to say :-) | 08:46 |
| Bahaman | Im* | 08:46 |
| BebopSteve | vishal: try "sudo apt-get install package-name-here" in your terminal to see if it's an issue with your system or just the software manager | 08:47 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: i am trying | 08:47 |
| kriestof | somsip: Thats program is fine, but I need to synhronize mp3 and image in flv. | 08:48 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: its working fine | 08:48 |
| Wizard | C#? | 08:48 |
| Wizard | JAVA FTW! | 08:49 |
| Wizard | :> | 08:49 |
| FloodBot1 | Wizard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:49 |
| somsip | kriestof: I guess you need some form of movie maker, then something else to convert the output to flv | 08:49 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: try ffmpeg | 08:49 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: its working fine it installs software but not from Ubuntu Software Center | 08:50 |
| kriestof | FlowRiser: Yeah, but I've tried for half and hour to merge image and mp3 and I failed. | 08:50 |
| kriestof | It would be easier to use some gui. | 08:50 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: how many images you ahve ? | 08:50 |
| kriestof | only one | 08:50 |
| ThinkT510 | kriestof: making a vid? try openshot | 08:51 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: how are you encoding the video ? | 08:51 |
| kriestof | I don't know. :P I've just writen something like ffmpeg -i source -i image output | 08:52 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: does it give you an error | 08:52 |
| kriestof | yep | 08:52 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: paste it on pastebin please | 08:52 |
| BebopSteve | vishal: Try reinstalling it, sudo apt-get remove software-center, sudo apt-get install software-center | 08:53 |
| kriestof | It's short, I need a while and it was avconv, but I suppose it's just a newer version. I think, ffmpeg gave me similiar one. | 08:53 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: ok i am trying | 08:53 |
| vega-_ | ubuntu 12.04 LTS, nvidia hardware, opensource driver, laptop with external monitor connected: use display settings to enable external monitor -> both go blank, now what? | 08:53 |
| FlowRiser | BebopSteve: "sudo apt-get reinstall package-name" doesn't work ? :D | 08:53 |
| vega-_ | only option is power button after that | 08:54 |
| chmac | I want to create a second virtual monitor, same desktop, which I can access by VNC. How do I set that up? :-) | 08:54 |
| szal | vega-_: tried the proprietary driver? | 08:54 |
| BebopSteve | flowriser: don't mind me I'm mostly new, just have a troubleshooting mindset lol | 08:54 |
| kriestof | FlowRiser: incomplete frametime=846.68 bitrate= 196.9kbits/s Error while decoding stream #0:0 | 08:54 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: Its installing that software center | 08:54 |
| vega-_ | szal: yes, it works. but so did this one, not anymore though (after i used it without the external for some time) | 08:55 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: wait a second, i'm gonna give you what worked for me using ffmpeg | 08:55 |
| vishal | BebopSteve: plz help me out i am newbie at ubuntu and i don't want to swith to windows 7 again just because of software center | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vega-_: are there any shortcut buttons to switch the outputs? | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | vishal: install synaptic then...... | 08:56 |
| BebopSteve | vishal: You can also install the lubuntu package manager if reinstalling didn't work, it isn't as fancy but gets the job done | 08:56 |
| vega-_ | ActionParsnip: on the actual laptop? yes i suppose there are | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vega-_: tried that? | 08:56 |
| chmac | Seems like maybe xdmx is one approach, but it may require a little tweaking to set up... | 08:56 |
| vega-_ | ActionParsnip: nope, didn't think of it... will now | 08:56 |
| rollitup | i have been using 12.04 since last 4 months and sinc the past two weeks i keep getting alot of Ubuntu 12.04 has ocurred an erro and system error etc | 08:57 |
| rollitup | is there a fix for this | 08:57 |
| vega-_ | ActionParsnip: ok now the external woke up, but in clone mode and horrible resolution | 08:57 |
| somsip | rollitup: details of the errors? | 08:57 |

| BebopSteve | Has anyone here replaced the boring lock screen in 12.04 with lightdm? From what I understand it was removed because of bugs with nvidia cards and the LTS tag, but I have a "nothing special" intel onboard and would like the functionality. I'm trying to find how to do it | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vega-_: tweak | 08:58 |
| rollitup | where could i find the errors, the error messages are like this system error ocurred and then it gives me a choice to report but when i click on it it gives me a message that says Ubuntu 12.04 has ocurred an error | 08:58 |
| vega-_ | ActionParsnip: ... and it worked, thanks! | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vega-_: sweet | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | BebopSteve: i don't really pay attention to the look of such trivial things as lock screens, I'm too concerned with unlocking my OS and getting on with stuff | 08:59 |
| rollitup | also when i do sudo apt-get upgrade some repositories fail to update let me share the output | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: not all PPAs support Precise :) | 08:59 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: ok, so try this first: ffmpeg -r 20 -i <input> <output> | 08:59 |
| BebopSteve | actionparsnip: I can empathize, but I'm shallow and like things to be pretty :p | 09:00 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: the main thing is that -r 20 | 09:00 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: when i used ffmpeg i had some decoding problems | 09:00 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: make sure you have the decoding software up-to-date | 09:00 |
| kriestof | FlowRiser: Porbably I dont. "Option framerate not found. " | 09:01 |
| rollitup | http://pastebin.com/Q1yXKXA5 could someone tell me if its worth deleting these ppa's ? | 09:01 |
| BebopSteve | I will google onward | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: if you can pastebin the full output of: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a we can advise | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: that paste doesn't tell us much | 09:02 |
| rollitup | sure | 09:02 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: search on how to get the latest ffmpeg | 09:02 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: that should probably solve your problems | 09:02 |
| kriestof | ok, thanks | 09:02 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: but i warn you, it may involve downloading source code; it may not be the fastest way | 09:03 |
| FlowRiser | kriestof: make sure you have available space on your hdd | 09:03 |

| [twisti] | will those now be checked for error every reboot ? why ? | 09:14 |
| andycc | [twisti]: that doesn't seem to affect anything though, does it? | 09:14 |
| rollitup | ActionParsnip: thanks i have removed those unwanted ppa and i have got the same error which i described first the Ubuntu Internal error, and the cause is showing as | 09:14 |
| cesdost | hi | 09:14 |
| [twisti] | andycc: i dont know. im pretty sure i shouldnt just ignore something like that | 09:15 |
| cesdost | Compiz and Dash crash after launch directx library! What shoul i do? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: did you run: sudo apt-get update | 09:15 |
| andycc | [twisti]: you could try to check them manually, if you _really_ want to do something about it. | 09:16 |
| [twisti] | how would i do that ? | 09:16 |
| cesdost | Can Anybody help me? | 09:16 |

| cesdost | winetricks directx | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cesdost: Are you trying to install DirectX in wine? | 09:18 |
| andycc | [twisti]: to be fair, if you don't know how to run a check, you should leave the disk maintenance to Ubuntu and just ignore those messages. | 09:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | whats the command to set users home dir? | 09:18 |
| ikonia | usermod -d $directory $user | 09:18 |
| cesdost | ActionParsnip: yes | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cesdost: Wine is an abstraction FOR DirectX, you already have it...... | 09:19 |
| [twisti] | andycc: the fact that reboots dont make it go away seems to indicate that the check isnt run | 09:19 |
| geekgirl | hello can i ask for some help in here about installing wireless | 09:19 |
| andycc | [twisti]: you'll typically need to use a live CD and maybe set up the (what I assume are) RAID arrays, so it's not a trivial thing. | 09:19 |
| [twisti] | thats not possible | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: as long as its under ubuntu, yes | 09:19 |
| [twisti] | its a server | 09:19 |
| MonkeyDust | cesdost did you read this? http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectX-ToDo | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | brontosaurusrex: man usermod shows all the other ways you can manage existing users too ;) | 09:20 |
| andycc | [twisti]: can you unmount those 2 devices? | 09:20 |
| geekgirl | cool when i have this wireless wrapper ndisgtk and i can't seem to get it to work | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: what wifi chip are you using? | 09:20 |
| geekgirl | i am on a windows 7 platform i installed unbuntu on top of it | 09:21 |
| [twisti] | andycc: again, i have no idea how. i dont even know what that is | 09:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | ikonia, its giving me "user xy is currently logged in" | 09:21 |
| MonkeyDust | geekgirl wubi? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: still doesn't tell us the wifi chip | 09:21 |
| geekgirl | wubi i haven't tried yet | 09:21 |
| cesdost | MonkeyDust: no, thanks) | 09:21 |
| geekgirl | i know but i don;t know and i;d have to reboot to tell you | 09:21 |
| andycc | geekgirl: use Windows' Device Manager. | 09:21 |
| rollitup | ActionParsnip: hope you read my earlier message with the details of the internal error | 09:21 |
| ikonia | brontosaurusrex: right, so he's logged in you can't change it | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: then why are you reaching for ndisgtk, there may be a native driver! | 09:22 |
| geekgirl | can;t i just load the *.inf from unbuntu | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update please | 09:22 |
| geekgirl | okay if someone knows a simple option or app i can grab from the unbuntu software center i can try that instead | 09:22 |
| andycc | geekgirl: using ndiswrapper isn't really recommended if there's a native driver already, which is why we're asking what chip you have. | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: why would you want or need to if there is a Linux driver for it for Linux. Why would you need to bother | 09:22 |
| geekgirl | ahhh i c | 09:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | its not logged in ... | 09:22 |
| geekgirl | cos when i looked up the info today thats what was recommended | 09:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | who < should show the guy right? | 09:23 |
| andycc | [twisti]: look into mount, umount and fsck. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you should see what wifi chip it is | 09:23 |
| geekgirl | okay can i grab someone to go through a step by step process please | 09:23 |
| geekgirl | ahh cool h5 | 09:23 |
| andycc | geekgirl: you can do that from Windows too. | 09:24 |
| geekgirl | i did that earlierAP it said unclaimed | 09:24 |
| Ptrakk | lspci | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: yes, but what is the product line | 09:24 |
| geekgirl | i'll do it again to find out the chip though | 09:24 |
| Ptrakk | lsusb | 09:24 |
| geekgirl | i get it i'll brb | 09:24 |
| rollitup | ok but ActionParsnip the error message that I typed earlier i copied it from the Sorry Ubuntu 12.04 has occured an internal error then when i view error i get a big list the sudo apt-get update seems to be updating sucessfully now | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: exactly the same? | 09:24 |
| rollitup | should i take a screen-shot and upload it somewhere so you can see ? | 09:25 |
| rollitup | coz this error is not in the terminal | 09:25 |
| rollitup | it keeps poppingup now and then | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: all I need is the output of: sudo apt-get update | 09:25 |
| rollitup | ok one sec i give it to you again | 09:25 |
| geekgirl | AP where is the info | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: if updates are running then let them finish | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: press CTRL+ALT+T and run: sudo lshw -C network | 09:26 |
| geekgirl | I did if you mean product:Realtek Semiconductor | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: ok and run: lspci one line will identify the device | 09:27 |
| * ActionParsnip prays its not a 8122 | 09:27 | |
| Ptrakk | try this line: lspci | grep -i realtek | 09:27 |
| geekgirl | what part of that do you want AP? | 09:28 |
| rollitup | here's the output ActionParsnip http://pastie.org/4628697 | 09:28 |
| rollitup | there is only one error regarding the GPG key for bitdefender anti-virus | 09:28 |

| andycc | geekgirl: well, yeah, that bit of info is what we need. | 09:30 |
| geekgirl | ok so RTL8111/8168B | 09:31 |
| geekgirl | can i just sudo get-apt ndisgtk | 09:31 |

| andycc | geekgirl: run lspci -nn again, give us the info for the Network Controller, not the Ethernet Controller. | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A373FB480EC4FE05 | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: yes but the wifi is having the issue... | 09:35 |
| FlowRiser | blackthund3r, should be, yes | 09:35 |
| blackthund3r | FlowRiser: Thanks! Also joined the Tegra channels. Hope there's people around! | 09:35 |
| crimsonmane | geekgirl: type lspci -n | 09:35 |
| crimsonmane | oh they got you on it | 09:35 |
| geekgirl | how about i do this. i have an icon installed called window wireless drivers | 09:36 |
| ThinkT510 | geekgirl: to help you with wifi, they need to know exactly what wifi you have | 09:36 |
| andycc | crimsonmane: -nn, -n just gives a cryptic list of numbers | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | blackthund3r some 140 people in the arm channel | 09:36 |
| crimsonmane | it's the four digit set you need | 09:36 |
| rollitup | i did that ActionParsnip and it imported one key so do u think i will not get the Ubuntu 12.04 Internal error now ? | 09:36 |
| crimsonmane | like this: Our NIC has the ID 1260:3873. | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: should be smoother | 09:36 |
| blackthund3r | MonkeyDust: and everyone seems idle :P Oh well, I'll sit tight for a bit! | 09:36 |
| andycc | crimsonmane: yeah, but you need to know which ID the NIC is, and you can't really do that from the output of lspci -n | 09:36 |
| geekgirl | why can't i just install a driver through there | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: can you run: lspci -n; lsb_release -a; uname -a and go to http://pastie.org and put all the text there | 09:37 |
| rollitup | ok thanks ActionParsnip for your prompt help | 09:37 |
| rollitup | hope you have a nice day there | 09:37 |
| geekgirl | ok AP | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: we don't know the wifi chip, so it may not be needed | 09:37 |
| crimsonmane | geekgirl: you're looking for a bit that looks like this: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01) | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !rootirc > Ptrakk | 09:37 |
| ubottu | Ptrakk, please see my private message | 09:37 |
| crimsonmane | guys can't she do "lspci -nn | grep wireless" ?? | 09:38 |
| andycc | geekgirl: using ndiswrapper is like using gaffer tape when you can use bolts, unreliable and pointless. | 09:38 |
| crimsonmane | "lspci -nn | grep Wireless" actually | 09:38 |
| Ptrakk | how do i create a user on a rooted linux via command line? is it passwd? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: could use: grep -i WiReLeSS if you wanted ;) | 09:39 |
| crimsonmane | Ptrakk: "man useradd" | 09:39 |
| Ptrakk | thanks | 09:39 |
| crimsonmane | ActionParsnip: on mine, lowercase W turned up diddly | 09:39 |
| andycc | crimsonmane: my wireless card shows up as Network controller, not Wireless. | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | crimsonmane: -i makes grep case (i)nsensitive | 09:39 |
| crimsonmane | ah | 09:39 |
| crimsonmane | then have her do that. it's way faster and easier | 09:39 |

| geekgirl | okay i ran the command line you suggested now how do i paste that info into pastie | 09:42 |
| d1rkp1tt | advice.. | 09:42 |
| andycc | geekgirl: select it, right click, copy, switch to your browser, paste. | 09:43 |

| geekgirl | phew got it. thanks for being patient, first day on ubuntu ever today! | 09:44 |

| ajnr | Hi , can any one help me out how to enable or work the finger print reader of HP Probook 4430s in ubuntu 1205, its a Device ID 138a:003c Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS471 Fingerprint Reader | 09:45 |

| rollitup | incase i wish to have a dual boot system between Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows xP would it be recommended to first install windows xp like i had read in the past or is it that I can now install windows xp after i have installed ubuntu ? | 09:46 |

| crimsonmane | rollitup: do it after, so that both OS are in the boot options | 09:46 |
| rollitup | so windows xp first ? crimsonmane | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rollitup: install xp first, the instaler is lazy. leave unpartitioned space | 09:47 |

| geekgirl | hows this http://pastie.org/4629147 | 09:47 |
| crimsonmane | rollitup: no | 09:47 |
| crimsonmane | rollitup: xp second | 09:47 |
| rollitup | so crimsonmane i have to first backup the grub right ? | 09:48 |
| crimsonmane | you tell it how big the partition should be. but from experience, linux won't add windows to your boot options. | 09:48 |
| crimsonmane | rollitup: no comment. | 09:48 |
| crimsonmane | ive never done that | 09:48 |

| ThinkT510 | great minds think alike | 09:49 |
| andycc | geekgirl: yes. There's a solution. | 09:50 |
| ajnr | ActionParsnip, ya tried it , but not worked ! | 09:50 |
| geekgirl | also i really installed ubuntu for arduino do you happen to know where i can d/l the arduino editor from :) | 09:50 |

| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: don't you think you should get something a bit more fundamental setup, like your wireless connectivity.... | 09:51 |
| geekgirl | yes i am doing that AP, i am reading ab0ut the fix now | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !info arduino | 09:52 |

| d1rkp1tt | can anyone advise on how to find a location in a file and write to it from console? | 09:53 |
| geekgirl | okay arduino on its way | 09:53 |
| d1rkp1tt | .. terminal | 09:53 |
| geekgirl | do i need the full package AP just to run the editor? | 09:53 |
| ThinkT510 | !tab | geekgirl | 09:53 |

| geekgirl | it's all good i actually got here via a command line , believe it or not :) | 09:54 |
| andycc | d1rkp1tt: sorry, I don't follow. What do you mean by "location in a file"? | 09:54 |
| geekgirl | is it rude to abbreviate ThinkT510 wasn't 20 years ago :) | 09:55 |
| d1rkp1tt | I want to seek out a location in a file.. in this case pg_hba.conf and add an entry.. I am using fabric, but want to know the appropriate command in ubuntu/linux | 09:55 |
| geekgirl | okay arduino is happening going to get the fix sorted too | 09:55 |
| ThinkT510 | geekgirl: not rude, but not using the full nick doesn't highlight the person, so they could miss your message | 09:55 |
| d1rkp1tt | echo to write, but that will go to end of file rather than a position, right? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: could use the locate command after running: sudo updatedb' | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: minus the apostrophe | 09:56 |
| d1rkp1tt | updatedb? | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: yes | 09:56 |
| andycc | d1rkp1tt: so you're trying to seek to a position in a file and write something there? | 09:56 |
| d1rkp1tt | andycc: yes | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: sudo updatedb; locate pg_hba.conf | 09:57 |
| d1rkp1tt | I am writing deployment in fabric | 09:57 |
| geekgirl | fair enuff ThinkT510 | 09:57 |
| andycc | d1rkp1tt: I know you can do that from Python, but I don't think there's a UNIX command for it. | 09:57 |
| d1rkp1tt | find with grep... | 09:57 |
| d1rkp1tt | then echo.. but cant target the line I found | 09:58 |
| andycc | d1rkp1tt: exactly. | 09:58 |
| d1rkp1tt | hmmm | 09:58 |
| d1rkp1tt | otherwise file io with python eh | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: echo "text to add" | tee -a `sudo updatedb; locate pg_hba.conf` | 09:58 |
| nbubuntu | actually grsync is a (copy file or move file) program ? | 09:58 |
| d1rkp1tt | ActionParsnip: your losing me with the updatedb part, not sure what that means | 09:58 |
| MonkeyDust | d1rkp1tt better ask in #bash, i'm sure people can help you better, there | 09:58 |
| andycc | ActionParsnip: he's not trying to find a file. | 09:59 |
| d1rkp1tt | MonkeyDust: THanks | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: it updates a database of every file in the filesystem | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | andycc: ahh, i see | 09:59 |
| d1rkp1tt | Very helpful anyway, thanks | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: updatedb makes finding files fast | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: the downside to it is that chages are not recorded so you need to run updatedb for searches to be accurate | 10:00 |
| d1rkp1tt | ActionParsnip: Thanks I didnt know about that | 10:00 |
| ptrakk | Enlightenment (e16) Rocks!! | 10:00 |
| d1rkp1tt | ActionParsnip: What was the tee ? | 10:01 |
| Hayate | tthat was old | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | d1rkp1tt: its to add to the file. I thought you wanted to find the filename and add some text to it | 10:02 |
| leftMS | my media players (smplayer, kmplayer etc, all) gets paused at idle-screen screen lock, this happens while audio playback only. how can I prevent this? | 10:02 |

| ubuntu057 | hello | 10:07 |
| ix_ | hello, how can I block the Chrome ad from the google front page? every time I open Firefox it appears because I've set it up to delete everything on closing | 10:08 |
| geekgirl | how do you copy and paste into a command line? | 10:08 |
| andycc | geekgirl: right click menu. | 10:08 |
| ix_ | geekgirl: middle click | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | CTRL+SHIFT+ V is the shortcut, mouse is probably easier | 10:09 |
| ix_ | geekgirl: in terminator it's very easy, right click and paste | 10:09 |
| ptrakk | what do you mean google ad? | 10:09 |
| andycc | geekgirl: middle click is actually, IIRC, a different clipboard. The right click menu is the friendliest way to do it. | 10:09 |
| MonkeyDust | ix_ there's the adblock plugin | 10:09 |
| ix_ | MonkeyDust: I know, I'm using it | 10:10 |
| leftMS | ActionParsnip : nice page of omgubuntu, ubuntu is not sleeping during audio, it locks the screen, which i do want (sw off the monitor after, say, 5min) | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: which google frontpage | 10:10 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: google.com | 10:10 |
| ptrakk | shift + insert is another version of paste | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: ok i'm there, which ad? | 10:10 |
| andycc | leftMS: that doesn't really make sense, have you tried other players too? | 10:10 |
| ptrakk | im not seeing an ad | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ptrakk: me neither | 10:11 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: this ad: http://i.imgur.com/D5EmC.jpg | 10:11 |
| andycc | ActionParsnip: I think it only shows up if you're not on Chrome and don't have an ad blocker, or maybe if you don't have any Google cookies set. | 10:11 |
| leftMS | andycc :all that are there- smplayer, kamlayer, mplayer. tried all settings too. | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: where is the ad? | 10:11 |
| ptrakk | toolbar | 10:11 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: discover a faster way to blabla | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: not strictly an ad | 10:12 |
| ptrakk | try clicking the wrech>tools>extensions | 10:12 |
| andycc | leftMS: those are all mplayer-based, I think (kmplayer could be xine-based). Try using Amarok, or JuK, or Audacity... | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: just close it and off you go, or switch to duckduckgo | 10:12 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: well, I've set firefox up to delete everything on exit | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | suprised people still use google search | 10:12 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: including cookies | 10:13 |
| ptrakk | i lerv google | 10:13 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: as far as I know, google is the most popular search engine, why would you be surprised? | 10:13 |
| leftMS | andycc : ya, whn i switched to kmplayer, it worked first time, then started getting paused from second time | 10:13 |
| pozop | I've been trying to change my mac address with hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces. It does nothing. Is it possible the command doesn't work with my hardware (how to check that?)? | 10:13 |
| pozop | ActionParsnip: why? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: because its so limited and restricted | 10:13 |
| ikonia | pozop: you don't change your hardware address in a software config file | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: you are searching a bubble | 10:14 |

| bitvilag | Hi everyone my ubuntu server crashed while i was using dlna and now it does not load ... it get stuck after a successful start dhcp. Can a network card failure cause this? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: you can | 10:14 |
| MonkeyDust | pozop donttrack.us <--- here's why | 10:14 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: the interfaces file....really ? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ | 10:14 |
| pozop | ikonia: I've read you do it taht way | 10:14 |
| ix_ | ActionParsnip: so you like duckduckgo? | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: indeed | 10:14 |
| leftMS | andycc : this happened to smplayer and mplayer also, ok i will try ur suggested players | 10:14 |
| ptrakk | posop: macchanger eth1 -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 | 10:14 |
| brontosaurusrex | leftMS, smplayer if a gui for mplayer | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: yes, I can search a million different sites, sort by date etc. It also doesn't bubble your results and doesn't track you | 10:15 |
| ikonia | I'll put money that the interfaces file doens't work | 10:15 |
| SimonM | I've got a question on Nautilus, is this the right place to ask it ? | 10:15 |
| ptrakk | sorry for mispelling your name | 10:15 |
| andycc | leftMS: my line of thinking is that it's probably mplayer's fault, which is the backend for kmplayer and smplayer too. | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: as long as its nautilus in ubuntu, yes | 10:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !tab > ptrakk | 10:15 |
| ubottu | ptrakk, please see my private message | 10:15 |
| ikonia | try it, but I'll put a good chunk of money it doesn't change the mac address | 10:15 |
| pozop | MonkeyDust: I dont use cookies and I don't use google search when logged in, but I agree for example gogoduck is a nice alternative | 10:15 |
| SimonM | yay, thanks | 10:15 |

| leftMS | andycc : wht shall i do to prevent pausing, i can change the player but want to know wht is happening | 10:16 |
| pozop | ikonia: do you know how to do it? Or is a shell script the only solution? | 10:16 |

| ix_ | andycc: what's !bang? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | andycc: same, it leaves google in the dust | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: read the second link I gave | 10:17 |
| ikonia | pozop: most cards have the mac address as part of their hardware, that's why I don't believe you can change it like that | 10:17 |
| andycc | ix_: you can, for example, append or prepend !g to a query to search on Google, or !wa to search on Wolfram Alpha, or !w for Wikipedia... | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: you could mount the cd by hand. or make a fstab entry for it. | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: you could manually mount it | 10:17 |
| SimonM | how do I direct my message at a person without typing their name in every time ? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | pozop: you'll need a software package that can interface with the card's hardware to cheat it | 10:17 |
| ikonia | but try the documentated solution, I'm confident it won't work though | 10:17 |
| SimonM | I really wanted to stay away from fstab | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis_ | no idea what 'eac' is. ;) | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: just type a few letters from the nick and hit TAB | 10:17 |

| andycc | geekgirl: so... you're done? | 10:19 |
| geekgirl | i don;t know andy how can i tell if the driver is installed | 10:19 |
| andycc | geekgirl: that big cryptic name is just the folder you're in, you still have to run make and sudo make install. | 10:20 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, that's for loopbacking iso'ss though isn't it ? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: the modprobe command will succeed (no output) | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | if the game is using 4 cd disks.. id put all of them on the HD. and avoid swapping them in/out... | 10:20 |
| geekgirl | ahh okay i thort i had done that so i need a new clean command line yeah | 10:20 |
| SimonM | I have 4 cd drives and I want to set up eac and just keep changing the disks | 10:20 |
| geekgirl | the instructions are a bit vague | 10:20 |
| andycc | geekgirl: okay, what's the last command you ran? | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: whats EAC anyway? | 10:21 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, it's not a game, there will be hundreds of CD's by the time I've finished | 10:21 |
| geekgirl | the last thing i ran was sudo modprobe rtl8723e | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | and i wonder if anyone knows what EAC is then... | 10:21 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, it's for ripping music CD's to FLAC/M4A | 10:21 |
| geekgirl | does the system find the .inf by itself? | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | err.. You dont Mount Music cds...... | 10:22 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, it's probably the defacto standard for ripping cd's afaik | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | so now im totally confused... | 10:22 |
| geekgirl | i wasn't sure about the order of #4 as it looked like it was on separate lines | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | SimonM FYI: jack -Q -R rips music CDs to .ogg format | 10:22 |
| leftMS | ActionParsnip : i installed | 10:22 |
| geekgirl | it says test the drive by loading it | 10:23 |
| geekgirl | hmmm how do i load it> | 10:23 |
| ptrakk | visudo | 10:23 |
| ptrakk | oope | 10:23 |
| ptrakk | not the command promp | 10:23 |
| andycc | geekgirl: you loaded it using modprobe (unless you got an error) | 10:23 |
| andycc | geekgirl: so... try connecting now. | 10:23 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, Nautilus automounts the CD's with the CD's name in the /media directory with a random/label format. I want the cd mounted as /media/cdrom1 | 10:23 |
| geekgirl | ahh then i should unplug the modem reboot and test or should i already be visible in the wireless connections options | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | geekgirl: you don't need the .inf | 10:24 |
| geekgirl | ahhh i c | 10:24 |
| SimonM | MonkeyDust, thanks, but I want to use EAC as it's error correction/validation is pretty much defacto | 10:24 |
| geekgirl | can i swear | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: if its a Music Audio cd. then as far as i know You dont mount them. they get directely accessed as /dev/cdrom# Ive never seen Nautilus mount Music cds. Ive seen some Plugins for KDE to do sort of a 'fake' mount of Music cd's to let you drag/drop music files from them | 10:24 |
| geekgirl | you guys are farkin awwesome | 10:24 |

| leftMS | ActionParsnip & andycc : whn I use Twinkle voip softphone, it gives choppy voice both the side, any suggestion/ | 10:25 |
| SimonM | ActionParsnip, the fstab entry screws up automount, it doesn't appear in nautilus, it's not there in the /media directory either | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | someone could check this with a music cd? i dont have any handy. | 10:25 |

| leftMS | ActionParsnip & andycc : i also used Zoiper, it was working fine, but since few days, this also is muted, no audio at all on both side | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ive seen special dual-format music cds that have data and music on them also get mounted. | 10:27 |
| ptrakk | is there a faster way beside 'echo $user' to find what user i am | 10:27 |
| SimonM | you'd mount the cd as iso9660 and then it would read the data from there | 10:27 |
| andycc | ptrakk: whoami. | 10:27 |
| ptrakk | andycc: thanks | 10:27 |

| === UnderProtection is now known as A_Grey_Hat | ||
| gordonjcp | SimonM: they *might* be hybrid CDs with a data track and audio tracks | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: do you even mount audio CDs? | 10:28 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: no | 10:28 |
| leftMS | ActionParsnip : ok i will chk | 10:28 |
| gordonjcp | there's no filesystem to mount | 10:28 |
| GuestTimmy | General question: has the smb mountpoint been changed in 12.04.1? | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gordonjcp: whats funny is i had to go looking for my old box of cds | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | GuestTimmy: mount a samba share then run: mount | 10:30 |
| andycc | GuestTimmy: wasn't SMB handled by gvfs? The mount point should be under ~/.gvfs/, just like in older releases. | 10:30 |
| andycc | (but don't quote me on that) | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ptrakk: whoami will tell you the current user | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | the cd poped up here via nautilus as --> cdda://sr0/ so the cdda:// is a special feature to let you see the audio cd as what appears as a 'filesystem' | 10:31 |
| SimonM | dr_willis, thanks, I need to investigate a bit more | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | GuestTimmy: seems to be in $HOME/.gvfs here on Quantal... | 10:31 |
| SimonM | so | 10:31 |
| SimonM | here is an easier question then | 10:32 |
| SimonM | how do I play an audio cd in wine ? | 10:32 |
| GuestTimmy | I mounted the filesystem in Nautilus and it is not in .gvfs (where it used to be) and not in .cache/gvfs | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | GuestTimmy: did you run mount? | 10:32 |
| andycc | SimonM: sorry, but why would you want to do that? | 10:32 |
| andycc | GuestTimmy: mount, by itself, will give you a list of mount points. | 10:32 |
| SimonM | andycc, ;-) why not is the more important question ? | 10:32 |
| SimonM | ok | 10:33 |
| andycc | SimonM: because you can do that natively. | 10:33 |
| FlowRiser | geek food, it's epic :D -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlL_zqM7LH8&feature=g-all-lik | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I definatly do NOT have any entry in /media/ for my music cd. | 10:33 |
| GuestTimmy | ActionParsnip: thx, in this list it seems to be .gvfs | 10:33 |
| SimonM | say for the sake of argument I love foobar2000 and loathe amarok (which I do) ;-) | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | you can use the wine config tools to assign a drive letter to the optical drive. | 10:34 |
| andycc | SimonM: "Shake a tree, and a Linux music player will fall out of it." | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I dont see how ubuntu mounting a cd/dvd/whatever would be affecting the wine drive letter. | 10:34 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, sorry, you were right, I was wrong. Happend to be looking at the single disc in my collection that had a data session on it too. My bad | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I need to re-rip all my old cds ... someday. I got a large box of them i ripped years back when it would take an hr+ to rip/encode one..... | 10:35 |
| Dr_Willis_ | now a days.. it can rip/encode in the time it takes me to pop them in the drive.. | 10:35 |
| GuestTimmy | ActionParsnip: Can't open the .gvfs directory: message: cannot access .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected | 10:35 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, I can't assign a drive letter to the optical drive unless it has a mount point ? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | GuestTimmy: try in terminal | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: as far as i know wine will auto mount them as needed for data disks. | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: have you tried using winetricks? | 10:36 |
| GuestTimmy | ActionParsnip: That was the message in the terminal | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: you may want to ask in #winehq | 10:36 |
| Transhumanist | pretty religiously, Ubuntu, the first time I log in for the day, will crash to the logout screen shortly after I've logged in and opened things. Most commonly (perhaps always?) the crash to login occurs as I press enter after typing into a textbox on a website in Firefox | 10:37 |
| Transhumanist | any ideas? | 10:37 |
| SimonM | Winehq will just say it's a nautilus/udev/udisks issue ? | 10:37 |
| SimonM | and say use fstab ;-) | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis_ | even my car has a Hard drive built in these days to hold my Muzak. :) | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: wine has its own config to define whjere the optical disks are at.. nothing to do with nautilus. | 10:37 |
| SimonM | ActionParsnip, winetricks does not help, the program installed, it's just the way that removable drives are given dynamic names | 10:37 |
| leftMS | ActionParsnip : killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* is not working, still zoiper silent and twinkle is choppy on PC and other end voice is fine | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | leftMS: bah | 10:38 |
| andycc | Transhumanist: that sounds like a pretty major bug. What DM and DE are you using? Also, try asking in AskUbuntu and searching for bug reports. | 10:38 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, yes, I know. but the way it refers to them is by mount point. and the mount point doesn't exist for a music cd ? | 10:38 |
| GuestTimmy | going offline for reboot | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: if 'eac' is some how doing error correcting.. then its not accessing the audio cd by mountpoint.. | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis_ | its accessing the /dev/sr0 directly | 10:39 |
| ptrakk | apt-get remove pulseaudio && apt-get install --reinstall alsabase alsa && alsa force-reload | 10:40 |
| GuestTimmy | Should have tried to reboot first, problem solved! | 10:40 |

| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, I accept that. I agree. I don't understand it. What I do understand is that I have 4 drives and only one appears and it's the same on ehtat has the data session on it | 10:42 |
| GuestTimmy | andycc: :D | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: are you working with CDs/ | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonM: or are they ISOs? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | SimonM: try a audio cd that dosent have a data track. | 10:42 |

| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis_, eac is just a ripper, it can use whatever in encoding step | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | brontosaurusrex: yea. so i dont really see whats so great about EAC compared to other tools. | 10:47 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis_, its should be the most secure ripper, but i totally hate it | 10:48 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, it's just a defacto standard, I dunno why, it's just really trusted | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | 'secure' ? | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | seems it has a lot of error checking features.. but i doubt if it will really matter much for most people out there. | 10:48 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis_, secure as several rereads, md5 rip online database and so on... | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | 'redundant features to insure data integerity' ;) | 10:49 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis_, basically if someone has allready ripped the same cd and got the same md5 as you it makes eac very happy | 10:49 |
| SimonM | Dr_Willis_, I'm ripping my collection, and it will make sure that it has integrity and tell me if the tracks are scratched etc as well as checksumming and stuff. It's ugly, but respected | 10:49 |

| nbubuntu | SimonM : so there's no way mv to preserve timestamp ? but now using copy , I need to check every of the folder file md5sum because i can't make sure whether it had correctly copy out compare to move. | 11:03 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, indeed.you could do iirc an rsync and delete (I think it exists). dunno if that preserves timestamp | 11:04 |
| wal | hi guys... using wget... connection timing out have set export HTTP_PROXY and checked the wgetrc file.... use_proxy commented out.... but can;t edit read only file.... any ideas? Thanks. | 11:04 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : rsync does preserve timestamp because it use cp rather than mv.But how do I make sure it's fully copy correctly ? I need to do a md5sum for everyfile if using cp while mv for sure doesn't need to check. | 11:06 |
| Kevel | can someone please help me with setting up php and apache? | 11:07 |

| nbubuntu | SimonM : guess the only option .... :( | 11:07 |
| Kevel | if i use a .php and load it via the browser, it tries to download it | 11:08 |
| Kevel | :/ | 11:08 |
| Kevel | and not run it | 11:08 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, iir md5sum isn't cpu intensive, reading the file is | 11:08 |
| SimonM | iirc | 11:08 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : i was hoping too , but it takes time | 11:09 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, the main time consumer is disk I/O, I'd say take a step on the wild side and get rsnc to do it. do a few unit tests, jobs a goodun | 11:10 |

| nbubuntu | SimonM : as mention , mv file/folder = faster , doesn't need to do md5sum check compare to copy but it doesn't keep timestamp.Cp file/folder preserve timestamp but need to check for md5 to confirm file are copy without error | 11:14 |
| gabrign | how i can reactivate the "low disk space" message ? | 11:14 |
| gabrign | i had 12.04 | 11:14 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : thanks :) i'll try later since i'm copying file right now | 11:14 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, you could save the timestamp in a variable and touch the file post move | 11:14 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : yeh , there's once I need to touch -t every folder and sub folder, takes me 1 hour :S | 11:15 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, now I think about it, the timestamp won't affect the md5 anyway since it's a property of the file system, not the datafile ? | 11:15 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : maybe , haven't done that yet though | 11:16 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, just researching, I could be talking balls | 11:16 |
| nbubuntu | SimonM : yeh , thanks anyway , i'll do more search .Guess only way for it is either copy or as you mention , mv and save the timestamp into a tmp and rewrite it. | 11:18 |
| SimonM | nbubuntu, I'd do rsync personally. The whole touch etc would be much more time/scripting expensive than rync | 11:19 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 11:32 |

| Oranger | SAngeli: "install LAMP" is not a good answer ? >< | 11:33 |
| Oranger | juancabrito: Don't ask to ask, just ask | 11:33 |
| SAngeli | no, I do not refer to this question. My first post is related to NAS. | 11:33 |

| SAngeli | should I post it again or can you find it? Oranger | 11:34 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 11:36 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 11:36 |

| adie__ | HI | 11:37 |
| adie__ | Can I not use su in ubuntu these days? | 11:37 |
| adie__ | my password fails for su | 11:37 |
| zykotick9 | adie__: never could... | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis_ | use sudo as needed | 11:38 |
| zykotick9 | !sudo | 11:38 |
| 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 | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | su to switch to non root users if needed | 11:38 |
| Sri19 | does system76 have a ppa for their driver? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | adie__: use: sudo -i instead | 11:38 |
| Peace- | hi is there a way to play at urban terrror with X rotated ? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | adie__: su without a username will default to root,there is no root password | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis_ | x rotated means ? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Peace-: is there anything in the game settings | 11:39 |
| Peace- | Dr_Willis_: actually i use X rotated of 189 degree | 11:40 |
| Peace- | 180 | 11:40 |
| Peace- | ActionParsnip: nope there is not | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis_ | reverse the axiis you mean? | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Peace-: could try the uban terror IRC channel too | 11:40 |
| MonkeyDust | Peace- what is X in this context? | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis_ | invert x axis | 11:40 |
| Peace- | Dr_Willis_: nope | 11:41 |
| Peace- | Dr_Willis_: my screen is rotated of 180 degree | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Peace-: http://www.urbanterror.info/support/71-/ its based on the quake engine, so things for that will apply to urban terror | 11:41 |
| Peace- | so i need to rotate X to read properly | 11:41 |
| SimonM | yay fixed it | 11:41 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| Dr_Willis_ | that would make a tall skinny screen here | 11:41 |
| MonkeyDust | 180 degrees is upside down, no? | 11:42 |
| Peace- | MonkeyDust: yes | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | or you mean its upside ddown? | 11:42 |
| SimonM | Scsi interface needed to be ASPI rather than native in EAC. I guess wine doesn't support native Win32 interface for XP/Vista/Win 7 and is happier with ASPI | 11:42 |

| ftruzzi | Hi, I am in trouble to get a printer working, the printer is an HP laserjet 1000, it is installed on a windows 2003 server. I am able to send documents, but in the printers queue my documents appears as "Remote downlevel Document", it has size, but no information about what would be printed such as number of pages and things like that, the file stays in the queue until i delete it. I tryed to disable the "Enable bidirectional ...". | 12:23 |
| chmac | Yeah, I'm happy to resolve issues individually. It looks like tomboy and zim both pop up on both sessions. | 12:23 |
| chmac | bkc_: It's already a gnome session, just no run command / dash, so no way to start apps except the terminal. | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ftruzzi: did you install the hplip tools? | 12:24 |
| ftruzzi | lotuspsychje: is that the drivers? I am using the recommended ones | 12:24 |
| chmac | Also, I have win-\,z,x,c,v,b mapped to go to desktop 1,2,3,4,5,6, and pressing each of these keys individually in the vnc session immediately jumps to that desktop, without the super key :-( | 12:24 |

| neoteric | ftruzzi: hmm... sorry I can't help with a quick fix, I had lots of issues with printer here, once I got it so I could see it with 'lpq' it worked ok, but your scenario could be different, good luck trawling the FAQs unless anyone else has ideas on here? | 13:11 |
| ftruzzi | neoteric: thanks | 13:11 |
| lotuspsychje | neoteric: i read alot of samba stuff on this issue | 13:11 |
| kubanc | hellow! i've added command "/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/681ee625-6fe8-49f9-b4eb-5b42b390bdb7" to the startup application ant the partition doesn't mount automaticly... I have Ubuntu 12.04. Any idea | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | ftruzzi: did you check samba logs? | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | kubanc: ntfs drive? | 13:12 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, no, ext4 | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | AdvoWork, look for the alternate install | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | !alternate | AdvoWork | 13:13 |
| ubottu | AdvoWork: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 13:13 |
| lotuspsychje | kubanc: maybe interesting to pastebin your etc/fstab in here | 13:13 |
| ftruzzi | lotuspsychje: no, but It's not a connection problem, it rather be a driver problem, the document is sent to the server, but it is just some shit | 13:13 |
| echo501 | anyone got any SSO expertise? | 13:13 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, well i can tell you that the partition is not in fstab | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ftruzzi: are you sure you added the printer to samba on all needed machines | 13:14 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177781/ | 13:14 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, i can put partition in fstab but i don't know with what options... | 13:16 |
| ftruzzi | lotuspsychje: the printer its open, if you had the right address you could print here :p | 13:16 |
| Rhombix | Hi. I have a slightly odd question. | 13:16 |
| Rhombix | Is it possible to configure a USB controller to activate keyboard shortcuts? | 13:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ftruzzi: not sure there mate, but if you got other ubuntu boxes that can print to the printer it would not be a driver issue? | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | kubanc: thats odd ext4 does automount by default right? | 13:17 |
| ftruzzi | lotuspsychje: Idk, I'm done, I'll stick to the pendrive method | 13:18 |
| sunil_ | how to install software file ending in .deb please tell | 13:18 |
| AdvoWork | BluesKaj, thanks for that link, i see http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ but it only has server versions, not desktops? | 13:18 |
| lotuspsychje | sunil_:doubleclick and open with software centre | 13:18 |
| sunil_ | ok | 13:18 |
| sunil_ | thnx | 13:18 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, as i said, i've putten command /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/681ee625-6fe8-49f9-b4eb-5b42b390bdb7 to startup applications. So yes, it should automount at startup... | 13:19 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, but by default it doesn't automount because it a separate disc | 13:19 |
| lotuspsychje | kubanc: can you see the partition with gparted? | 13:19 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177794/ | 13:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ftruzzi: this can help maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749725 | 13:20 |
| kubanc | lotuspsychje, yes, i can se partition with gparted | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | AdvoWork, there are desktops as well | 13:20 |
| kubanc | and i can mount disc through nautilus, but i need to automount it because of ropbox | 13:20 |
| SilvereX | hey guys | 13:21 |
| SilvereX | anybody know why I can't remove files from my USB stick? | 13:21 |
| uberamd | SilvereX: What is the filesystem on it? | 13:21 |
| cdavis | I have 12.04 LTS running on a laptop and it suspends the display after idle. Is there a way I can stop this from happening? | 13:21 |
| lotuspsychje | kubanc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691695 | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | AdvoWork, the first alternate install cd is a desktop version | 13:22 |
| SilvereX | uberamd: not sure. fat32 most likely | 13:22 |
| uberamd | cdavis: Settings for that should be under power management | 13:22 |
| uberamd | cdavis: iirc, there is an option to not dim display when using battery power | 13:22 |
| uberamd | SilvereX: Is the option to delete simply not there? | 13:23 |
| SilvereX | uberamd: It's there, but I can't click it | 13:23 |
| SilvereX | uberamd: It's greyed out | 13:23 |
| lotuspsychje | bbl | 13:24 |
| uberamd | SilvereX: Can you go to terminal, cd into the USB drive, and try an rm on the file you're removing | 13:24 |
| uberamd | SilvereX: To see if there is an error | 13:24 |
| matts45acp | can someone here help me with selecting some memory for my laptop i have a toshiba a505 s6980 | 13:25 |
| fidel | matts45acp: where is your problem? | 13:25 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: If it's NTFS, it may be mounted read-only by default? | 13:25 |
| SilvereX | uberamd: It says permission denied when I try to remove it through the terminal | 13:26 |
| matts45acp | fidel, well ive looked up the installed memory that it has now | 13:26 |
| Rhombix | Hi. I have a slightly odd question. | 13:26 |
| Rhombix | Is it possible to configure a USB controller to activate keyboard shortcuts? | 13:26 |
| matts45acp | fidel, if i get a differnt speed does it matter | 13:26 |
| sifogood | Hi all:) | 13:26 |
| uberamd | matts45acp: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145598 | 13:27 |
| SilvereX | Rhombix: You mean a gamepad? If so, I'm pretty sure there's software out there for that | 13:27 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: or possibly mounted with a different owner. Try ls -l <filename> - are you the owner, and what are the permissions? | 13:27 |
| SilvereX | Rhombix: I haven't found a fully functional one yet, though | 13:27 |
| Rhombix | SilvereX: Ok, great! What do I need to look for? | 13:27 |
| sifogood | Is ubuntu support android ? | 13:27 |
| compdoc | matts45acp, go to http://www.crucial.com/ and see what kind you need, then you can shop for price | 13:27 |
| kubanc | i would like to automount ext4 disc with fstab. Any idea what shoudl i put for [Options] [dump] [fsck order] | 13:27 |
| matts45acp | fidel, i have 1066 now and was looking at 1333 | 13:27 |
| fidel | matts45acp: you should check what kind of ram your device is currently using | 13:27 |
| fidel | then check if there is a max limit regarding the overall ram amount | 13:27 |
| matts45acp | fidel, guess thats my speed | 13:28 |
| fidel | then check how many slots you have - and you are almost at the target | 13:28 |
| uberamd | fidel: its a laptop, likely 2 :P | 13:28 |
| matts45acp | fidel, 2 slots | 13:28 |
| fidel | most likely yes - while some vendors do crazy things ;) | 13:28 |
| uberamd | matts45acp: the link I sent you is for a 4 gig pair | 13:28 |
| SilvereX | Rhombix: http://www.minecraftplaza.com/xbox-controller-to-pc/ | 13:28 |
| kroonrs | sifogood: What exactly do you mean with your question? | 13:29 |
| Rhombix | SilvereX: Thanks! | 13:30 |
| Rhombix | Bye now | 13:30 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: in properties, in the permissions tab, it says I am not the owner so I cannot change the settings | 13:30 |
| matts45acp | uberamd, i currently have 204 pin thats some 200 pin memory | 13:30 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: Would that restrict me to read only? | 13:30 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: if you "cat /etc/fstab" is the mount point a ntfs file system? | 13:31 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: if you're not the owner, and the owner hasn't given you permission to change the file, you'd have read-only, yeah. Normally NTFS is mounted as owned by root, and as read-only, as I understand it. | 13:32 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: but it can be overridden | 13:32 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: So how exactly would I change it? | 13:33 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: It says the owner is root. | 13:34 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: well, first we check if that's the issue | 13:35 |
| neoteric | sifogood: are you talking about Ubuntu for Android? I don't think that's readily available for general Android devices, but it sure will be cool when I can just dock my mobile and use it as a pc :) | 13:35 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: if so, it may be you don't have ntfs-3g installed? | 13:35 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: in which case, installing that and rebooting might solve it | 13:35 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: How would I install it? | 13:36 |
| kroonrs | search for ntfs-3g in the software centre. Looks like the "NTFS Configuration Tool" in the software centre may do it as well | 13:37 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: ^ | 13:37 |
| jluc | hello | 13:38 |
| jluc | how can i know what printer driver is currently installed and used by my printer ? | 13:39 |
| matt12 | hi, how can i read and send sms in ubuntu using my cdma modem? | 13:40 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: Already got ntfs-3g. What now? | 13:41 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: is the partition NTFS? | 13:44 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: and what's the relevant line in /etc/fstab ? | 13:44 |
| Dragonfly | Hi there, I have a problem with the Fan on my Toshiba Satellite. this does not detect the Fan at all, it was working fine before a system upgrade. | 13:44 |
| juancabrito | Hi, I'm trying to solve a problem and I found a guide but it says: "The solution was to remove the explicit /usr/local/bin path from my .bash_profile file" | 13:45 |
| juancabrito | where can I find that .bash_profile?? | 13:45 |
| jrib | juancabrito: what problem are you solving...? | 13:45 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: I'm pretty sure it's fat32. I always format to fat32 for usb sticks. /etc/fstab says permission denied | 13:46 |
| kroonrs | juancabrito: it's a hidden file in your home directory | 13:46 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: can you "sudo cat /etc/fstab", or don't you have sudo rights? | 13:47 |
| matt12 | juancabrito: vi ~/.bash_profile | 13:47 |
| kroonrs | matt12: Prepare for questions about vi? | 13:48 |
| zykotick9 | matt12: .bash_profile really? i have .bashrc and a .profile - but no .bash_profile, do you? | 13:48 |
| uberamd | I haven't seen bash_profile in ages | 13:49 |
| kroonrs | zykotick9: good point, but some of my legacy accounts do have .bash_profile files | 13:49 |
| neoteric | juancabrito: when wanting to find a file you can usually use 'locate <filename>' if its not a completely new file | 13:49 |
| zykotick9 | kroonrs: interesting, sorry i've never heard of it... | 13:50 |
| neoteric | juancabrito: also you can do "find . -name '<filename>' -print" to search from current directory for a specific filename on the command line | 13:50 |
| SilvereX | kroonrs: I'm really tired. I really should get some sleep. Thanks for your help, though | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | /usr/share/doc/adduser/examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/skel/dot.bash_profile is no longer used ...it directs to ~/.bashrc | 13:51 |
| kroonrs | SilvereX: ok, hope you get it sorted tomorrow | 13:51 |
| neoteric | juancabrito: just thought i'd share that because i use those two commands a lot :) | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | juancabrito, what ubuntu version are you using ? | 13:52 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: 12.04 | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | juancabrito, what exactly are you trying to do ? | 13:54 |
| zerts | hi my gnome windows fail in sometimes, the top label of any window its no working plz help | 13:55 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: http://blog.mhartl.com/2010/02/19/some-rvm-gotchas/ | 13:55 |
| jedix | hello | 13:59 |
| zerts | i dont see the top label of any windows in ubuntu | 13:59 |
| JMS32 | Hello! I'm trying to install ubuntu, but installation failes in grub-istall... | 13:59 |
| JMS32 | What to do? | 13:59 |
| jedix | I have a really bad problem with openssl/libssl breaking functionality that was around in 0.9.7 | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | JMS32: did you hashcheck the iso? | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | juancabrito, ok , i have no clue about ruby on rails , but the tutorial is obviously not using 12.04 as an example , perhaps you 'll find the profile line in ~/.bashrc | 14:00 |
| JMS32 | cfhowlett, nope | 14:00 |
| jedix | and there doesn't seem to be a workaround without rebuilding python against a rebuilt 0.9.8 | 14:00 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: you were right about .bashrc | 14:00 |
| juancabrito | now the question is | 14:00 |
| juancabrito | i have this | 14:00 |
| juancabrito | PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting | 14:00 |
| JMS32 | cfhowlett, but i'm using usb-stick | 14:00 |
| jedix | cfhowlett: interesting nick | 14:00 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|JMS32: it's like condoms. ALWAYS take the minute or 2 to check sum your iso before you attempt install | 14:00 |
| ubottu | JMS32: it's like condoms. ALWAYS take the minute or 2 to check sum your iso before you attempt install: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:00 |
| juancabrito | PATH=$PATH: # $HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting | 14:00 |
| krumpli | hi, i am using edubuntu and there is a problem with ltsp booting: I get the message pxe32: tftp open timeout. what is wrong? | 14:01 |
| jedix | krumpli: you're trying to boot over the network | 14:01 |
| juancabrito | is it ok if I change to: PATH=$PATH : $HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting | 14:01 |
| cfhowlett | JMS32: in order of trouble shooting, hash check is where I'd start... | 14:01 |
| SimonM | krumpli, is the tftp server running ? | 14:01 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: sorry | 14:01 |
| jcromartie | how can I tell if VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed in my Ubuntu guest VM | 14:01 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: it was the other way | 14:01 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: is this: PATH=$PATH : $HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting | 14:02 |
| Noxx | i just installed ubuntu on my PC and it fucked me over and deleted windows but dc ubuntu is awesome :D | 14:02 |
| juancabrito | and change it to this: | 14:02 |
| juancabrito | PATH=$PATH : #$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | !language|noxx | 14:02 |
| ubottu | noxx: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 14:02 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, file ->preferences | 14:02 |
| jedix | juancabrito: "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" | 14:03 |
| jedix | no spaces.. $ not #$ | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | juancabrito, sorry I don't know , I just use bashrc for aliases in the cli | 14:03 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, then there is an extensions option in the box | 14:03 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: in the Ubuntu guest? I'm running Server. Or do you mean in VirtualBox? | 14:04 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: I mean is it the comment right? am I commenting that out correctly? | 14:04 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, I'm looking in Virtualbox manager | 14:05 |
| juancabrito | BluesKaj: or should the # go before de : | 14:05 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: I have the extensions installed for VirtualBox as a whole… I'm having trouble specifically with the Ubuntu guest | 14:05 |
| jcromartie | I know it's not a strict Ubuntu questino | 14:05 |
| jcromartie | 14:05 | |
| jcromartie | but I'm not sure where things get mounted etc | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | juancabrito, to comment out use # , yes afaik | 14:05 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, you don't need to install any extensions on the guest | 14:06 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, you install vbox additions on the guest | 14:06 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: to do things like shared folders? | 14:06 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, to do shared folders on the guest you need to install the vbox additions. | 14:07 |
| krumpli | jedix: yes, over the network | 14:07 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, so when the guest is running in the menu there is an install guest additions option | 14:07 |
| krumpli | SimonM: yes, the ps ax|grep tftp command gives me: 13445 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot | 14:07 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, but you have to have a virtual cd attached to the machine in order for it to attach the iso to the vm | 14:08 |
| jack-yes | Hi there! I just install code::blocks and i have an error. "It seems that this project has not been built yet. Do you want to build it now?" | 14:08 |
| SimonM | krumpli, the ip looks dodgy | 14:08 |
| krumpli | SimonM: it should be set in /etc? | 14:08 |
| SimonM | krumpli, probably should be a private ip like 192.*.*.* or 10. something | 14:08 |
| SimonM | krumpli, it's probably in /etc/defaults/tftpd or something similar | 14:09 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: yeah when I try to install the Guest Additions, there is nothing in /media/cdrom | 14:09 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, what is the guest os ? | 14:10 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, I'm guessing linux by the /media | 14:10 |
| jcromartie | Ubuntu Server! | 14:10 |
| jcromartie | host is OS X | 14:10 |
| jcromartie | guest is Ubuntu | 14:10 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, if you type 'mount' ? | 14:11 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: nothing to indicate a virtual CD | 14:11 |
| krumpli | SimonM: 13761 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 192.168.3.130:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot | 14:11 |
| jcromartie | except VirtualBox says the CD is attached | 14:11 |
| krumpli | SimonM: thanks to you, I reset it... testing... | 14:12 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, dmesg ? | 14:12 |
| arulmozhi | how to start gimp with opencl features enabled?? | 14:12 |
| jack-yes | plz, what's the name of the french chanel ? | 14:12 |
| Shadow` | !french | 14:13 |
| ubottu | Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 14:13 |
| krumpli | SimonM: timeout, again | 14:13 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but I see a VBOX CD-ROM device | 14:13 |
| jcromartie | scsi, src0 | 14:13 |
| jcromartie | sr0 | 14:13 |
| SimonM | krumpli, can you do a port scan on that machine and make sure the port isn't firewalled ? | 14:13 |
| krumpli | SimonM: how? with nmap? | 14:13 |
| jack-yes | thx shadow | 14:13 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, just getting a host on my install here to compare | 14:14 |
| SimonM | krumpli, can do, or a windows util, whatever, just need to make sure external clients can see it | 14:14 |
| jcromartie | I mounted it by hand… seems to be there now | 14:14 |
| jcromartie | I thought Ubuntu would auto-mount when the device has a disk in it | 14:14 |
| SimonM | no | 14:14 |
| jcromartie | just sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/ | 14:14 |
| jcromartie | it would if it were a desktop environment, right? | 14:15 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, that's done by nautilus in the gui | 14:15 |
| SimonM | you may need to mount it then | 14:15 |
| SimonM | something like 'mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom' | 14:15 |
| arulmozhi | how to start gimp with opencl features enabled?? | 14:16 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, is it mounted yet ? | 14:16 |
| jcromartie | SimonM: yes, I mounted it by hand | 14:16 |
| jcromartie | I have been away from Linux for a while :) | 14:17 |
| SimonM | so can you see the cd contents in /media/cdrom ? | 14:17 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, s'okay, it's not easy at the best of times | 14:17 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, just remembering how to mount a cifs share is a test in memory retentaion, never mind the command lines that some geeks do ;-) | 14:18 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest23863 | ||
| jcromartie | SimonM: yeah I'm just on to installing the prereqs now | 14:20 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, you progressing ? | 14:20 |
| SimonM | jcromartie, cool | 14:20 |
| krumpli | SimonM: it is accessible, but I cant find tftp in the open ports... | 14:24 |
| UpgradeR | how come sudo apt-get upgrade leaves 6 packages not upgraded? linux headers, icedtea... | 14:24 |
| krumpli | SimonM: I have tftpd-hpa. Should I have tftp-hpa too as client? | 14:24 |
| UpgradeR | aNYone there? | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | UpgradeR, probly because the dependencies aren't ready | 14:27 |
| UpgradeR | but they can be updated using the GUI | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | UpgradeR yeah, had that here, too, upgraded with the GUI, done... | 14:28 |
| UpgradeR | but i don't want to use the gui because i want to update several machines via ssh | 14:29 |
| SimonM | krumpli, just trying to find the install I did a while back | 14:31 |

| roSievers | Hi, I set up an new accout for my sister and set a password (passwd). However, LightDM allows anyone to log in to her user without a Password. How can i fix that? | 14:31 |
| netzvieh | UpgradeR: you can copy the packages and upgrade them with apt-get install | 14:32 |
| roSievers | if I lock the PC it demands her password to unlock | 14:32 |
| SimonM | krumpli, you did all this ? http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch16_:_Telnet,_TFTP,_and_xinetd#Debian_.2F_Ubuntu_2 | 14:33 |

| SimonM | DarkStar1, no firewall, no services are enabled unless you select them during install | 14:38 |
| DarkStar1 | ok thx | 14:38 |
| krumpli | SimonM: it was a working ltsp server, but it seems something get wrong. | 14:38 |

| krumpli | SimonM: this 0.0.0.0:69 thingy was provided by a debian link | 14:39 |
| SimonM | krumpli, the online guides for tftp are generally good quality | 14:40 |
| SimonM | krumpli, the most important thing iirc is that the file access permissions must be right | 14:40 |
| SimonM | and you also need to be able to serve the files up, I think when I did it, I ended up using apache to do it | 14:40 |

| SimonM | krumpli, /var/lib/tftpboot ? | 14:44 |
| krumpli | SimonM: in /var/lib/tftboot | 14:44 |
| SimonM | krumpli, so did you do the whole chown,chgrp and 777 the whole lot ? | 14:44 |
| krumpli | SimonM: with normal get pxelinux.0, there was a file error. with a full path get /ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0 I got a timed out message | 14:45 |

| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 14:52 |

| Mikato | ok try it | 14:57 |
| MonkeyDust | paulus68 http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 14:57 |

| paulus68 | MonkeyDust: ok thx | 15:09 |
| SimonM | krumpli, "In TFTP, any transfer begins with a request to read or write a file, which also serves to request a connection. If the server grants the request, the connection is opened and the file is sent in fixed length blocks of 512 bytes. Each data packet contains one block of data, and must be acknowledged by an acknowledgment packet before the next packet can be sent. A data packet of less than 512 bytes signals termination of a transfer." | 15:09 |

| krumpli | SimonM: tftp-hpa | 15:10 |

| ikonia | sprezzatura: you can't update the bios without rebooting on Windows | 16:09 |
| ikonia | sprezzatura: power shell is "the shell" on linux, however the bios updating programs are designed for windows so few work in linux | 16:09 |
| tagrape | Question : I have a USB external that I mounted by UUID. How would I mount the folders inside the external to the server local dirs. Is that fstab as well? | 16:09 |

| ikonia | tagrape: why do you want to do this ? what is the benifit | 16:17 |
| ikonia | tagrape: why do you want to point applications at /media/video instead of /media/tagrape/video ? what is the benifit ? | 16:18 |
| sprezzatura | MonkeyDust: thanks | 16:18 |
| tagrape | ikonia, I don't understand what link is? | 16:18 |
| gordonjcp | the bios is irrelevant once Linux has actually booted anyway | 16:18 |
| ikonia | tagrape: forget link - why do you want to point applications at /media/video instead of /media/tagrape/video ? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | tagrape: what benifit will you get ? | 16:18 |
| sprezzatura | MonkeyDust: another one - ipmitool | 16:19 |
| tagrape | ikonia, I don't want to point applications. I have videos in 1 directory on my external drive. I've mounted this drive in fstab and want to leave the videos on the directory. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | tagrape: they will stay in that directory as long as the external drive is plugged in | 16:20 |
| wrapids | I'm using a wm and I'm not too sure how to change the sound device. I've got a usb headset I'm trying to use, but I'm not sure how to activate it. | 16:20 |
| WarOfTheNerd | gordonjcp, I thought that until I upgraded to 12.04 LTS, where a BIOS bug broke wireless until I reset everything | 16:21 |
| Adie | wrapids, is it listed in your sound settings output list? | 16:21 |
| MB_wrk | wilee-nilee, A) That assumes said user has windows available. B) What MOD? There is no indication of user OPs at all (by design and I understand the reasoning). C) It's not possible period (not just in linux). D) Why do you care? I was asking Fy | 16:21 |
| WarOfTheNerd | MB_wrk, mini Windows CDs and/or DOS floppies are provided for that reason | 16:22 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Also I've flashed the BIOS without rebooting before in Windows | 16:23 |

| WarOfTheNerd | MB_wrk, provided by the vendor. Find me a BIOS and/or mobo vendor which doesn't provide bootable MinWin or DOS-based flashing tools. | 16:24 |
| MB_wrk | Sorry, I was assuming you meant distributed with the actual component. | 16:25 |

| marcappuccino | benhem you might want to deactivate the splash screen for startup and shutdown: - switch to console with Ctrl-Alt-F1 - log in- run 'sudo -s' to get a root shell- confirm that 'grep splash /proc/cmdline' doesn't return anything (i.e., you are currently booted without splash) | 17:16 |
| marcappuccino | - run 'service lightdm stop' (and confirm that this command succeeds... if it doesn't, then something else is wrong)- run 'plymouthd --mode=shutdown'- run 'plymouth show-splash'- confirm that you do NOT get a graphical splash screen, but instead get a switch to a different text console- hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 again to switch back to your root login- run 'plymouth quit' to stop plymouth- run 'service lightdm start' to r | 17:16 |

| diego-ch | my laptop is turning itself off when I leave it untouched for more than 20 minutes. | 17:16 |
| diego-ch | any ideas on what could cause this? | 17:16 |
| Filipek | paulus68, unfortunately Acer Liquid does not seem to be that popular so there is not a lot for that out there | 17:16 |
| diego-ch | I'm running ubuntu 12.04 x86 | 17:16 |
| benhem | marcappuccino: ok, I'll try it. but the appearance of desktop icons suggests it's not the splash that's hanging, right? | 17:17 |
| mark06 | wilee-nilee: things are getting worse, changed server location from my country to main servers and now it shows 5MB of updates I don't know are from the previous operation or after that | 17:17 |
| paulus68 | Filipek: that's the problem that I'm experiencing right now | 17:17 |
| marcappuccino | benhem isnot the problem tha your shutdown is hanging? | 17:17 |
| marcappuccino | After you turn of the splash then you can see the real cause | 17:17 |
| benhem | no, start up hangs -- it shows desktop+icons | 17:17 |
| inf3kt3d | diego-ch: is the laptop hot to the touch? | 17:17 |

| BluesKaj | acioname, yhes | 17:37 |
| k1l_ | BluesKaj: acioname startx doesnt load the whole enviroment under ubuntu. the ubuntu way is to start the *dm, like lightdm | 17:37 |
| tdn | Suddenly, the sound stopped working in XBMC. I use 2:11.0~git20120423 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Sound has been working just fine for months. I have tested that the sound DOES work on this machine by quitting xbmc and playing something with vlc instead. I have pastebin the debug log on http://p.adora.dk/P2499.html | 17:37 |
| tdn | How do I fix this? | 17:37 |
| acioname | tdn:type alsamixer in terminal | 17:38 |
| acioname | k1l_:wait what? | 17:38 |
| BluesKaj | odd k1l_ kde uses lightdm as well , no need to start it first , startx does it all | 17:39 |

| netraameht | lcc, ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/RCamPBWC gives me a syntax error | 19:10 |
| piotr_kuna | W4sp: except on the first drive, it shows the grub menu | 19:10 |

| UbuntuDude | I can't find what you wrote in the script. | 19:10 |

| ActionParsnip | netraameht: its more specific to your issue | 19:12 |
| netraameht | So i can go to #bash? | 19:12 |
| Gracenotes | I'm a bit confused. I suppose the presence of a package here - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/libbind9-60 - doesn't necessarily mean it can be installed via apt-get? | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | netraameht: yes, type: /join #bash | 19:12 |

| coellobranco | nvidia | 19:13 |
| UbuntuDude | should be | 19:13 |
| UbuntuDude | *) echo "Server not installed!" && exit;; | 19:13 |
| Gracenotes | In my case, an apt-cache search doesn't yield anything | 19:13 |
| UbuntuDude | netraameht see my answer? | 19:13 |
| coellobranco | oldwzd -> i use nvidia driver... | 19:13 |
| netraameht | UbuntuDude, yes | 19:13 |
| oldwzd | coellobranco: yah i read, sec checking my db for possible link to solution | 19:14 |

| ha1dfo | Hi all. I've just tried to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 amd64 to my EliteBook 8540w, and just right after the dark-purple screen goes off, the graphics get scrambled or black, and the whole system hangs (no ctrl-alt-F#, not even ctrl-alt-del). Have anyone of you seen such thing? | 19:16 |
| netraameht | Line 183 is the part I pasted in pastebin | 19:17 |
| UbuntuDude | Ok.. | 19:17 |
| UbuntuDude | You should try to be more structured and group your commands with {} braces | 19:17 |
| piotr_kuna | W4sp: i can boot the system connecting the failed drive, grub shows up and it boots then (rescue mode, have to accept degraded raid), | 19:18 |

| ha1dfo | Wizard, I was thinking of trying the text-based install, then somehow getting nvidia propriatery drivers from console on my first boot. I just don't know how to. I only saw the 3rdparty driver installer in graphic mode | 19:19 |
| ozpy | Hello. I run 12.04 and I can't update my system anymore because "broken packages". Synaptic does not work and software manager does not remove packages anymore | 19:19 |
| Wizard | ha1dfo: Text UI is still shipped, I think, it's called jockey. | 19:20 |
| UbuntuDude | netraameht I usually use [[ condition ]] && { true statements; } || { false statements; } | 19:20 |
| Wizard | ha1dfo: Jockey-text, even :) | 19:20 |
| Wizard | Unfortunately I'm not graphics card wizard :P | 19:20 |

| UbuntuDude | yes but you need the tail at the end of the last command in a single line group closing statement | 19:23 |
| UbuntuDude | { true; false; } <-- ok | 19:24 |
| netraameht | UbuntuDude, you mean like fi and esac? | 19:24 |
| piotr_kuna | W4sp: i know how to repair the raid, but to do that i need to attach a new drive, i can not do this when my system does not boot from the second drive | 19:24 |
| UbuntuDude | { true; false } <-- syntax error | 19:24 |
| netraameht | ah k | 19:24 |
| netraameht | UbuntuDude, I think I found the error with a single look | 19:25 |
| UbuntuDude | if [ condition ] && echo true || echo false; | 19:25 |
| netraameht | I forgot then | 19:25 |
| netraameht | "then" | 19:25 |
| UbuntuDude | && and || continue a statment on condition where ; just ends them | 19:25 |
| JoeyJoeJo | I just installed ubuntu alternate and when I try to install something via apt-get it asks me to insert my installation cdrom. How can I tell it to get packages from repos on the internet? | 19:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Rewt`: details please | 19:28 |
| netraameht | UbuntuDude, new error XD | 19:28 |
| W4sp | UbuntuDude: PMFJI. Almost, && means it continues the part to the right if the part to the left is true. | 19:28 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: it only sees 1 monitor, when I try to run nvidia-settings, I'm told to run nvidia-xconfig, which i do, then restart X.. still told same thing | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Rewt`: can you please pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 19:29 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: it's got one of those split dvi cables | 19:29 |
| w30 | What's the best way to install Cinnamon on Ubuntu? Install default Unity and then add Cinnimon? Remove Unity and install Cinnimon? None of the above/ | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | w30: there is a PPA you can add, Cinammon is not supoprted here bt we can get it installed | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | w30: I'd install ubuntu minimal then add the ppa and install cinamon for a nice minimalist desktop | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | w30: if you like the gnome2 smell, why not just install Xubuntu and use XFCE, it's quite similar | 19:31 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ca/2199808 | 19:31 |
| FounderOf42O | enable more sources. i think theres an app in system settings called sources or source manager | 19:32 |
| FounderOf42O | oops sorry | 19:32 |
| SS01 | w30: if you like gnome2 try MATE | 19:32 |
| baizon | cinamon isnt good | 19:32 |
| baizon | use xfce | 19:32 |
| baizon | its the better choice | 19:32 |
| FounderOf42O | ^agreed | 19:32 |
| SS01 | ^ | 19:32 |
| w30 | ActionParsnip, Install Ubuntu with the standard Unity and then add the Cinnimon Ppa? I can get that done I think | 19:32 |
| SS01 | cinnamon gave me endless freezeups on mint | 19:32 |
| Newtoubuntu | adobe flash settings hang on firefox. any suggested fixes? | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Rewt`: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-173 will help, you have 2 drivers installed | 19:33 |
| baizon | Newtoubuntu: dont use flash | 19:33 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: giving it a shot, thanks | 19:33 |
| wN | that was a terrible recommendation. | 19:33 |
| TaJMoX | baizon I have problems with Flash, but it's necessary for me to use it for work purposes | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | w30: i'd go minimal installer, then cinammon will be the only session and you won't have any Unity installed | 19:33 |
| Newtoubuntu | baizon, the site i want is flash based | 19:34 |
| baizon | ok | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Rewt`: I'd personally uninstall all the nvidia packages shown (except nvidia-common) then install nvidia-current again | 19:34 |
| baizon | what version? | 19:34 |
| TaJMoX | baizon There is not really any alternative so "don't use flash" is never a good option | 19:34 |
| Newtoubuntu | so now what | 19:34 |
| baizon | TaJMoX: it was just a joke :) | 19:34 |
| Rewt` | brb | 19:34 |
| user__ | heheheh | 19:34 |
| user__ | lol | 19:34 |
| TaJMoX | Anyways I have a question | 19:34 |
| user__ | hello people | 19:34 |
| baizon | gg | 19:34 |
| user__ | TajMox | 19:34 |
| TaJMoX | Is there any linux alternative to this program http://www.actionoutline.com/ It's a notes/list organizer | 19:35 |
| user__ | what's your question ? | 19:35 |
| Newtoubuntu | ill try chromium | 19:35 |
| linux12 | testing | 19:35 |
| w30 | ActionParsnip, actually I don't like gnome2 or Unity but my vote for the old gnome must have been a hanging chad | 19:35 |
| === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 | ||
| ActionParsnip | w30: then try one of the other desktops if you dislike gnome...you don't have to use it | 19:35 |
| TaJMoX | Left side of the window is a tree where you can select different text notes, and the right side is the formatable text. Any program that can do this well for Linux? | 19:35 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: same results. Run nvidia-xconfig, I do, restart x, try the settings, tells me I need to run the config. | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Rewt`: tried: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 19:36 |
| Rewt` | ActionParsnip: yes | 19:36 |

| UbuntuDude | I haven't used an if statement in over a year. Most of my logic paths are chosen on the status of [[ condition ]] or command. | 19:38 |

| TaJMoX | th0r PERFECT! You win! | 19:38 |
| baizon | it might be broken | 19:38 |
| baizon | thats why you have that problem | 19:38 |
| gordonjcp | treepad looks interesting | 19:38 |
| user__ | nope my ram absolutely ddr 2 i think ! | 19:38 |
| user__ | but it's my laptop really fast | 19:38 |
| baizon | user__: run a memtest | 19:38 |
| user__ | cos i use win 7 on it | 19:38 |
| W4sp | UbuntuDude: So, what do you need to know? | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | user__: doesn't matter what it is, or even how much. It needs testing | 19:38 |
| gordonjcp | user__: yes, run memtest86 from the install disk | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | user__: using another OS is not a memory test | 19:39 |

| SS01 | w30: I know, I was just thinking as a last resort | 19:42 |

| xangua | elvano: use lubuntu or xubuntu | 19:43 |
| wodie | i'm trying to setup a shoutcast server, and keep getting connection timed out | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | elvano: use Xubuntu or Lubuntu | 19:43 |
| UbuntuDude | So nobody here knows why Ubuntu 12.04 LTS automatically enables the wifi network device on resume?? oR at least how to configure it???? | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | elvano: ditch Compiz and use a light WM like openbox or even metacity | 19:43 |
| gordonjcp | UbuntuDude: why wouldn't it do that? | 19:43 |
| w30 | SS01, thanks, any advice helps. | 19:43 |

| elvano | what disadvantages have lubuntu/xubuntu? | 19:46 |
| yoof | is debian related to lesbian? | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | UbuntuDude: I can't reproduce that behaviour, but I wonder if it's because I'm using suspend from the power button instead of closing the lid | 19:46 |

| UbuntuDude | Deborah and Ian does not a lesbian make | 19:47 |
| Bitz | so no idea? | 19:47 |
| gordonjcp | UbuntuDude: unless your network card is actually passing traffic it makes next to no difference to the battery life anyway | 19:47 |
| UbuntuDude | I've noticed hours of pottential usage drain | 19:47 |
| Bitz | and there is no ubuntu-server | 19:47 |
| Bitz | channel | 19:47 |
| gordonjcp | Bitz: can you see at what point the server is getting stuck? | 19:48 |
| wodie | any ideas on this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178466/ | 19:48 |
| Bitz | yep | 19:48 |
| UbuntuDude | When I shut off wireless I get about 3hr our of a battery charge | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Bitz: also, if you disable serviio, does the problem go away? | 19:48 |
| w30 | elvano, just install lubuntu and be satisfied with Chrome etc. instead of Firefox and Libreoffice and other heavy apps. | 19:48 |
| Bitz | yep | 19:48 |
| UbuntuDude | With it on I'm lucky to get 1:15 | 19:48 |
| klausender | Hello i am trying to install ubuntu and after a short while i get a blackscreen...i have enabled nomodeset and i have a ati radeon 5700 what shall i do? | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Bitz: so you've narrowed it down to serviio | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Bitz: maybe it's indexing all your media files? | 19:48 |
| Bitz | I mean the problem still occurs | 19:48 |
| W4sp | Bitz: The channel is #ubuntu-server | 19:48 |
| Bitz | let me check | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | Bitz: oh, even with serviio disabled so it doesn't start on boot? | 19:49 |
| Bitz | yep | 19:49 |
| wjtaylor | How do I get my line in and mic working in alsa mixer? WTF? | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: hit F4 | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: look at the record mixer page | 19:49 |
| elvano | I shall never be satisfied with chrome instead of firefox O_o | 19:49 |
| Bitz | its very strange bevcause it gets stuck after a successdul start of rsync | 19:49 |
| wjtaylor | I don't have mic listed to record from, only playback... which, to me, is messed up. | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | chrome has a really annoying bug in that it always pops up a "This file may harm your computer" warning when you click on a PDF | 19:50 |
| wjtaylor | and what's the difference between fron-mic and microphone? | 19:50 |
| UbuntuDude | It would really help if I had a hardware switch but I only have a soft switch on this Acer AOD257 | 19:50 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: your sound card can mix the mic input to the speaker output, *and* it can select it to record to | 19:50 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest67516 | ||
| klausender | Hello i am trying to install ubuntu and after a short while i get a blackscreen...i have enabled nomodeset and i have a ati radeon 5700 what shall i do? the error says 0xfec000f0 address already in use | 19:51 |
| wjtaylor | gordonjcp: understood, but shouldn't I see it under record then? | 19:51 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: yeah, you should | 19:51 |
| W4sp | gordonjcp: It is correct that PDF can harm your computer. :-) | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: daft question but are you looking at the right card? Many on-board chipsets actually appear as two separate cards | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | W4sp: rubbish, and in any case you couldn't even pay me to care about that | 19:52 |
| wjtaylor | I just read this and am a bit punch drunk. http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-it-works-linux-audio-explained | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: that article is rubbish | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: it's written by somebody who fundamentally does not understand sound cards | 19:53 |
| W4sp | gordonjcp: I take only skilled personell on board, yes. | 19:53 |
| wjtaylor | I hope so. Yeah so I have an intel sound card and a USB capture device (easycap) So in alsa, I choose HDA Intel. | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: seems reasonable | 19:54 |
| klausender | Hello i am trying to install ubuntu and after a short while i get a blackscreen...i have enabled nomodeset and i have a ati radeon 5700 what shall i do? the error says sp5100tco timer mmio 0xfec000f0 address already in use | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: unfortunately "HDA Intel" covers about a million different configurations of soundcard | 19:54 |
| wjtaylor | From there I select the recording tab and see Capture, Capture1, Capture2, and Digital | 19:55 |
| gordonjcp | okay, and is there an "Input Source" tab? | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | klausender: try the boot option: radeon.nomodeset=1 | 19:55 |
| klausender | where do i use that? | 19:56 |
| wjtaylor | no | 19:56 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: weird, it *should* be there | 19:56 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: not even when you scroll across? | 19:56 |
| wjtaylor | OK, so i'm not crazy.... that's a start | 19:56 |
| wjtaylor | I'm in gnome, let me do it from the command line | 19:57 |
| klausender | ActionParsnip where do i use that command? | 19:57 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: oh yeah, use the ncurses alsamixer | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | klausender: as a boot option | 19:57 |

| UbuntuDude | Found the answer to disable auto resume enables wireless: Airplane mode! | 20:07 |

| Aradian | hey how do i give permision to a username to do whatever it wants with the contents of a folder, but not with the folder itself. I am trying to get public_html to not be able to be deletedby the username, but he /she could do whatever they please with what the folder has inside . i tried chown -R user /home/user/public_html/* but it wants me to give permission to a folder only, and if i give chown -R user /home/user/public_html the u | 20:13 |
| Aradian | chown -R /home/user/public_folder/. work ? | 20:13 |
| klausender | ActionParsnip i dont think so where can i do that? | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | klausender: system BIOS | 20:13 |
| hanslanda | usr13, thanks... | 20:14 |
| wjtaylor | I don't understand I see a list of inputs under F4 capture, but only some are labeled as Capture (in red). I need to mark my line as capture. How is this done? | 20:14 |
| usr13 | Aradian: Is this for apache? | 20:14 |
| Aradian | yes | 20:14 |
| Aradian | i use userdir | 20:14 |
| guntbert | ozpy: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of every line, containing "ppa", then edit every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and do the same, afterwards try sudo apt-get update again | 20:14 |
| gordonjcp | wjtaylor: hit space | 20:14 |
| usr13 | Aradian: You should use symlinks and put public_html in the user dir. | 20:14 |
| ozpy | guntbert, thanks | 20:15 |
| wjtaylor | gorndonjcp: tried that. does't work. Is there a limit? | 20:15 |
| ozpy | ! | 20:15 |
| Aradian | i do not know what a symlink is | 20:15 |
| usr13 | Aradian: That way the user that ftps in will only have access to those files. | 20:15 |
| Aradian | and the public_html is currently in /home/user/public_html | 20:15 |
| usr13 | Aradian: That's ok, you can just move it. | 20:15 |
| Aradian | would u have a link to a tutorial | 20:15 |
| Aradian | that does that? | 20:16 |
| usr13 | Aradian: Just create a user for each site, place the files in a directory in that users home dir and symlink it. Leave the user with only minimal rights to the system. | 20:16 |
| UbuntuDude | To answer my question again: airplane mode from the terminal: sudo rfkill block all | 20:16 |
| usr13 | Aradian: Can I PM you? | 20:17 |
| ozpy | guntbert, every file on /etc/apt/sources.list.d will must be edited with a # in front of every line containing PPA? | 20:17 |
| Aradian | yes oufcrouse | 20:17 |
| Aradian | ofcourse | 20:17 |
| guntbert | ozpy: yes, so you will disable all ppas for now (you seem to have too many :-), then it will be time to see if there is another error | 20:18 |
| ozpy | guntbert, pal i did sudo gedit on that file and did not see any ppa... http://pastebin.com/BUWq04c3 | 20:20 |
| UbuntuDude | sudo echo 'sudo rfkill block all' >> /etc/rc.local && chmod +x /etc/rc.local | 20:21 |
| UbuntuDude | ^ Airplane mode at boot. | 20:21 |
| ozpy | guntbert, or the lines do not state ppa? | 20:21 |
| guntbert | ozpy: I thought you need to do it from CLI? | 20:21 |
| ozpy | guntbert, I got confused... to be honest, I don't know what CLI is. | 20:21 |
| guntbert | ozpy: use gksudo with gedit, but you don't need to edit the files by hand if you have a GUI | 20:21 |
| UbuntuDude | sudo echo 'rfkill block all' >> /etc/rc.local && chmod +x /etc/rc.local | 20:21 |
| UbuntuDude | ^correct command for Airplane mode at boot :/ | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuDude: that will get an acess denied and also will not get executed | 20:22 |
| guntbert | ozpy: Command Line Interface - aka terminal/shell | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuDude: anything below the 'exit 0' line doesn't get ran, so adding to the file will by default, go below the line | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuDude: also, sudo doesn't traverse the redirection | 20:22 |
| UbuntuDude | Ok... | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuDude: to add to files not owned by the user, use: echo "text" | sudo tee /file/to/add/to | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | well, tee -a | 20:23 |
| guntbert | ozpy: the main file seldom contains ppa entries, it was just to make sure - but if you have a GUI there is an easier way | 20:23 |
| UbuntuDude | sudo echo 'sudo rfkill block all' $'\n' $(< /etc/rc.local) >> /etc/rc.local && chmod +x /etc/rc.local | 20:23 |
| UbuntuDude | oops again.. | 20:23 |
| UbuntuDude | lol | 20:23 |
| UbuntuDude | What about: sudo echo 'rfkill block all' $'\n' $(< /etc/rc.local) >> /etc/rc.local && chmod +x /etc/rc.local | 20:24 |
| ozpy | guntbert, Pal, i got confused... I'm not that advanced in this. But if you tell me do this on terminal I can do that | 20:24 |
| === mcdonc_ is now known as mcdonc | ||

| ozpy | Yes. I also know how to do simple stuff on terminal as long as it's not too technical. In the past I used to be instructed do sudo gedit on terminal to fix things | 20:26 |
| ozpy | gunbert, Yes. I also know how to do simple stuff on terminal as long as it's not too technical. In the past I used to be instructed do sudo gedit on terminal to fix things | 20:26 |

| guntbert | ozpy: not really, but "software sources" should have asked you for your password | 20:38 |

| jaequery | hi all, ive got a proxy server and im routing all clients http/https traffic to it. but it wont seem to allow https as it needs to be manually signed. this is easily done if i were to use a browser but this is for non-gui environment for *nix, so they can do things like wget https://site.com/file.zip. anyone know how to get around this? i'm using squid 3.1 btw. | 20:39 |
| ozpy | guntbert, I'm running the laptop as "main user" | 20:40 |
| ozpy | Guntbert, maybe I should reboot that whole thing | 20:40 |
| guntbert | ozpy: rebooting doesn't normally solve problems in linux | 20:42 |
| guntbert | so no | 20:42 |
| oskar- | jaequery: are you asking for a way to tell wget to ignore an invalid certificate? | 20:42 |
| ozpy | guntbert, i reopened that 3 times and none of them did | 20:42 |
| jaequery | yes | 20:42 |
| oskar- | jaequery: see manpage, first hit for keyword "certificate" | 20:43 |
| oskar- | (--no-check-certificate) | 20:43 |
| jaequery | no, this is not it. i can do wget https://bla.com/file.zip fine on normal circumstance. but when it is routed through squid proxy, it doesnt work. | 20:44 |
| guntbert | ozpy: ok, back to my earlier proposal: use gksudo gedit to edit every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that is named <something>.list and put # in front of every line that has "ppa" in it | 20:45 |
| oskar- | jaequery: then i possibly did not understand your question... | 20:45 |

| jefimenko | oskar-: unfortunately it looks like i only have the version 15 debs in there | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | faLUCE: you can add: export PATH=$PATH:/some/dir to ~/.bashrc and it will be added. You can add it to to PATH in /etc/environment to apply to all users | 20:49 |
| wjtaylor | Why don't my volume control settings match my settings in alsamixer? | 20:49 |
| gordonjcp | Mysterytrain: fwiw you can use screen as a serial terminal, and if you prefer something GUI-ish you can use gtkterm | 20:49 |
| oskar- | jefimenko: maybe you can find them on the servers | 20:49 |
| iceroot | wjtaylor: because alsa and pulse are different sound systems | 20:50 |

| wjtaylor | ah! How do I unmute my mic and line-in so that they STAY unmuted? | 20:50 |
| faLUCE | ActionParsnip: that's not enough. some of these scripts must be executed as services. I start up all the services with rc.local ... could I use it for /some/dir path too? | 20:50 |

| auronandace | !12.10 | ozpy | 20:52 |
| ubottu | ozpy: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 20:52 |
| faLUCE | ActionParsnip: that's what I want to avoid... | 20:53 |
| faLUCE | why would you use absolute paths there? | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | faLUCE: I believe if you add it to /etc/environment it should apply before rc.local is ran | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | faLUCE: using absolute paths means you know exactly which binary is ran | 20:54 |
| faLUCE | ActionParsnip: /etc/environment runs before rc.local? | 20:54 |
| guntbert | ozpy: phew you messed up your system! please put a # in front of all lines containing "quantal", and don't foregt the list files in the directory | 20:54 |
| auronandace | guntbert: just missed him | 20:55 |
| guntbert | auronandace: he believes he is running 12.04 | 20:55 |

| Kenpachi7996 | kevin: yes i remember and i long for those days lol | 21:01 |
| Kevin` | and they change each release, so all the docs on google don't work | 21:01 |
| faLUCE | ActionParsnip: it didn't work. rc.local seems to ignore path in /etc/environment | 21:01 |

| Bloathi | I recall artifacting on 10-11.xx | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Lunar_Lander_: use notify-send | 21:07 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | ok something like at tomorrow 1:00 am notify-send ? | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Lunar_Lander_: well, notify send will need options, but yes | 21:08 |

| vmachine1 | where to put my dmz network in a dual layer setup... external and internal firewall. this link http://etherealmind.com/design-enterprise-dmz-firewall-clusters/ suggests a better option is to leave the dmz on the internal so that traffic will neeed to go through two firewalls.. just wanted an opinion on that from experts in the field as im new to "firewalling" | 21:16 |

| Lunar_Lander_ | thanks | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Lunar_Lander_: I use apt-fast instead of apt-get, but the two are interchangable | 21:20 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | could I make a timed shutdown/suspense? | 21:20 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | ah | 21:20 |

| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic: what video chip do you use? | 21:21 |
| Bloathi | I would use remastersys, but it requires Gnome / GTK dependencies | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Bloathi: could use a different tool | 21:21 |
| pyrrhic | ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon HD 6790 | 21:21 |

| Bloathi | I did search | 21:23 |
| Bloathi | and none met the criteria | 21:23 |
| zykotick9 | Lunar_Lander_: "sudo pm-suspend" might work | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic: it is needed for some video chips, once you get booted you can get updated and install the AMD driver and you'll be ok | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic: you'll only need it once | 21:23 |
| Bloathi | Every offline one had Gnome or GTK dependencies | 21:23 |
| pyrrhic | ActionParsnip: It doesn't hang every single time. Generally when it does it. I hard reset it. Power it completely off then reboot and it goes through fine. | 21:23 |
| DeLorean731 | I'm trying to convert a video to h.264, and change the aspect ratio and I'm getting "Unknown encoder 'h.264'". Here's the string I'm trying to do: mmpeg -i input.mpg -f avi - aspect "16:9" -vcodec "h.264" output.avi | 21:24 |

| max_overdrive | unity launcher remains a mystery to so many ! :( | 21:43 |
| Mothra | how can I format it on linux, sorry I'm accustom to using macs disk utility | 21:43 |
| Mothra | by format I mean partition it | 21:44 |
| max_overdrive | gparted | 21:44 |
| rox | Mothra: first, you need to choose a file system you wish to use | 21:44 |
| Mothra | so something like ext3 | 21:44 |
| max_overdrive | 4! | 21:44 |
| rox | Mothra: will you be using it just as a regular disk in your box, to store files and such? | 21:44 |
| jakr | how can i change default boot order with multiple OS installed? | 21:44 |
| rox | Mothra: ext3 is a good choice | 21:44 |
| Mothra | yeah just to store photos and other stuff | 21:45 |
| rox | Mothra: see the command mke2fs | 21:45 |
| mooser | what is aptitude | 21:45 |
| rox | Mothra: in console run the command "man mke2fs" | 21:45 |
| rox | mooser: aptuitude is a package manager | 21:46 |
| Jrad100 | Hey, does anyone know about any other good IRCS? | 21:46 |
| Mothra | ran it rox | 21:46 |
| xevwork | I'm having trouble with apt - I've added a local directory as a repository and tried to give it a higher priority in /etc/apt/preferences, but 'apt-get update' is ignoring it. http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1794663 | 21:46 |
| Mothra | If you like Math Or chemistry try #math or #chemistry | 21:46 |
| rox | Mothra: well, now read the manual, see how this command is used to create a file system | 21:46 |
| max_overdrive | what's wrong with ext4 | 21:47 |
| Mothra | ok on it rox :) if I have any questions I will just ask, yeah that does beg a good explanation Max overdrive | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Mothra: ext4 is pretty sweet, its also the default fs for system in ubuntu | 21:47 |
| mooser | i can not find it in my gnome | 21:47 |
| mooser | but i do see the lubuntu software center | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: its a cli command, as well as an ncurses ui | 21:47 |
| Erin | how do I manage which internet connection (eth0 or wlan0) is used for the internet I want to keep one as LAN only | 21:47 |
| gwaro | Mothra: from the terminal execute "man mkfs | 21:48 |
| pyrrhic | ActionParsnip: I'm about to attempt to recover a corrupt TFS media partition and probably make another to back it up to. Would you recommend formatting the new one as ext4? | 21:48 |
| Mothra | Already done gwaro I'm reading :) | 21:48 |
| mooser | is aptuitude and lubuntu software manager same thing? | 21:48 |
| rox | Mothra: eventually you will need to run something like "mke2fs -j -L MYNEWDISK /dev/sdd" | 21:48 |
| rox | Mothra: the -j switch is the key to creating an ext3 filesystem | 21:49 |
| rox | Mothra: you of course need to replace the device file with whatever device is your new disk | 21:49 |
| rox | Mothra: when you ran parted -l , your new disk device was listed, among others | 21:50 |
| rox | mooser: i am not sure, but i doubt it | 21:50 |
| Mothra | Thanks rox I will try the command you provided once I find out where it is mounted | 21:51 |
| rox | Mothra: it is not yet mounted, that's the whole point | 21:51 |
| Erin | whats the easiest way to keep one internet connection LAN only on a two internet connection system ? | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Mothra: just use gparted, its easier | 21:52 |
| Erin | I alrdy blocked off access based on the interface in smbd but I want it totally locked | 21:52 |
| === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria | ||
| hash | Sorry, I'm new to using irc. Did I just join the ubuntu server? | 21:53 |
| Mothra | ok ActionParsnip | 21:53 |
| inf3kt3d | hash, yes you did. welcome. | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: don't set a default gateway on the internal NIC | 21:53 |
| rox | hash: not really, but you are in a support channel for Ubuntu linux | 21:53 |
| elvano | Hey guys (and girls) I think I might have done a dumb thing. By formatting a partition to install Lubuntu I might have accidently removed the grubpartition... | 21:54 |
| gwaro | hash: Yeah | 21:54 |
| mooser | where can i find applets for gnome-panel like gnome-shell does at extensions.gnome.org ? | 21:54 |
| Jrad100 | Does anyone have a remote server up? | 21:54 |
| KM0201 | elvano: so install Lubuntu, and it will reinstall grub. | 21:54 |
| elvano | I'm getting "error: no such partition. " and then a grub resque commanline | 21:54 |
| dr_willis | elvano: you mean the /boot/ partion? or what exactly | 21:54 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, it is a dhcp connection I don't specify anything | 21:54 |
| Jrad100 | Or know of any remote servers up? | 21:54 |
| teddyp1cker | is anyone alive here?) | 21:54 |
| inf3kt3d | no, all dead | 21:55 |
| dr_willis | teddyp1cker: several hundred people here. | 21:55 |
| Danawar | Hey ubuntu UK i have a core I7 i use htop and it only shows 4 cores yet when i run htop on my other i7 i get 8 cores, the only difference is the one that only shows 4 cores is running ubuntu 64 | 21:55 |
| cinead_allen_ | a few are alive | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | if you're going to install Lubuntu anyway elvano , then just proceed as usual, and Lubuntu will install grub again. | 21:55 |
| elvano | I did instal Lubuntu | 21:55 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, I am using network manager, If I just manage the connections manually in /etc/network/interfaces and leave the inet part out of one of them will that work ?? | 21:55 |
| Mothra | This is weird gparted says my hard drive is 1.02mb | 21:55 |
| teddyp1cker | sorry, i just tried to check me settings) | 21:55 |
| dr_willis | Mothra: seen that happen when hard drives 'die' | 21:55 |
| anathema_ | hi guys suddently i cant search in dash for applications | 21:55 |
| anathema_ | i can only search files, eg if i type skype it doesnt show the app (or any other app) | 21:56 |
| Mothra | It is a new drive though and it is suppose to have 1gb if it is dead that would be very depressing | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | you bought a new 1gb drive? ;) how quaint... | 21:56 |
| elvano | But, how do I explain this... disk partition has a different name now =/ | 21:56 |
| mooser | any idea? | 21:56 |
| hash | Sorry guys. I'll figure this irc stuff eventually. Sadly, I find software engineering easy compared to irc xP | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | elvano: name? what sort of name? | 21:56 |
| Mothra | I mean 1tb :S lol | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | ;P | 21:56 |
| Erin | hash, you engineer software but can't use irc? I find that hard to believe... | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | engineer your own irc client. ;P | 21:57 |
| Mothra | lol | 21:57 |
| cinead | what's irc? ;) | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | !irc | 21:57 |

| Mothra | how can I check a drive to see if it is dead? | 21:57 |
| hash | I should haha, it's because irc is very fast moving. Lines are shooting in my face I can | 21:57 |
| Mothra | this 1.02mb free is unsettling | 21:57 |
| hash | can't think* | 21:57 |
| Erin | Mothra, type "palimpsest" in a terminal weird name I know it can read a drives smart data | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | Mothra: the smart utilities, or just try using it.. | 21:58 |
| elvano | I'll get back to you with it, i'll see what I can find to explain | 21:58 |
| rox | Erin: you owuldn't believe how closed-minded microsoft developers can be | 21:58 |
| dr_willis | Mothra: what is it saying excatly and whats saying it. | 21:58 |

| Erin | so does anyone know if you just leave the inet out of an interface line in /etc/network/interfaces does that shut off internet on it and make it lan only?? | 21:59 |
| KobeSyst1m | hi i just set up my router | 21:59 |
| Erin | KobeSyst1m, hello. congrats | 22:00 |
| KobeSyst1m | i enabled port 80 | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | Mothra: these days its common practice to align partions to the nearest 1mb boundry I belive. | 22:00 |
| KobeSyst1m | and port 22 | 22:00 |
| KobeSyst1m | for ssh | 22:00 |
| rox | Erin: man 5 interfaces | 22:00 |
| Mothra | sudo parted -l gives: http://pastebin.com/1xcKeH3R | 22:01 |
| KobeSyst1m | now when i use my iphone i can see my server but on my own laptop it wont show up | 22:01 |
| KobeSyst1m | i cant even shh | 22:01 |
| KobeSyst1m | ssh* | 22:01 |
| Mothra | the 120gb drive but there should be a 1tb drive there | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | KobeSyst1m: you enabled port forwarding on the router to the ip of the PC? | 22:01 |
| rox | Erin: inet means TCP/IP | 22:01 |
| KobeSyst1m | of course | 22:01 |
| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: go to philaneous.com | 22:02 |
| xevwork | I'm having trouble with apt - I've added a local directory as a repository and tried to give it a higher priority in /etc/apt/preferences, but 'apt-get update' is ignoring it. http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1794663 | 22:02 |

| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: http://imagebin.org/226671 | 22:03 |
| Erin | rox, well you obviously know more than me. How do I disable the internet side of a NIC | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | $ ssh philaneous.com seems to work here. | 22:03 |
| KobeSyst1m | lol | 22:03 |
| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: im on wireless on my macbook | 22:03 |
| Mothra | I try formating | 22:03 |
| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: im not sure whats going on but i cant even ssh from my mac | 22:04 |
| Erin | KobeSyst1m, works for me too, whats your P/W lol JK | 22:04 |
| KobeSyst1m | Erin: lol | 22:04 |
| rox | Erin: i am not sure what you mean by internet side | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | in the screen shots.. shouldent those server be checked to enable them> | 22:04 |
| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: i cant ssh from my own computer | 22:04 |
| KobeSyst1m | dr_willis: or see the files | 22:04 |
| Erin | rox, I have a NIC (eth0) and wlan pci card (WLAN0) I only want to use the NIC for internet and the WLAN for my local lan | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | KobeSyst1m: can you ping the server? | 22:04 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: locally? | 22:05 |
| elvano | Alright Gparted says I have a disc (sda) which is devided into smaller partitions (sda1, sda2, ...). when I formatted a partition sda1 changed to sda5 and when i rebooted the error message was there @dr_willis | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: set the internal to static IP and don't set a default gateway | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | KobeSyst1m: try frmo everywhere | 22:05 |
| Erin | it's not really an option to set static too many devices coming and going. | 22:05 |
| Erin | but thanks for the idea! | 22:05 |
| hash | man irssi xP | 22:05 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | thanks again acidchild | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: but surely the device isgoing to essentially be a router..? | 22:05 |
| rox | Erin: well, if your wireless router will take a client without DHCP, then you can do it, but it depends on your WIFI router | 22:06 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | and ActionParsnip | 22:06 |
| Lunar_Lander_ | good night! | 22:06 |
| SolarisB1y | man touch | 22:06 |
| SolarisB1y | man finger | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: i just pinged it by my domain name | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | and it works | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | but why the fuck cant i see it | 22:06 |
| rox | Erin: if you want a NIC not to be an interface to internet, then do not give it a gateway setting | 22:06 |
| Mothra | Using sudo palimpsest trying to format a brand new 1tb drive as ext3 and I get an error message; It states that the disk is unrecognized and that: Daemon is inhibited | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | its pissing me off | 22:06 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, my linux box isn't a router it's a smbd server mostly and my music machine. | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | everyone but my computer | 22:06 |
| KobeSyst1m | i just updated the server too | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: so why will setting a static IP cause an issue? | 22:06 |
| Erin | rox, but that requires static yes ? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | KobeSyst1m: is the service running on the system? | 22:07 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: i have a seperate computer for it | 22:07 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, because then every time someone brings a laptop or a phone or something and wants to get on my wifi they gotta set it up manually it's inconvenient | 22:07 |
| rox | Erin: this is simple if you have a statically configured interface, but if your wlan interface is configured through DHCP, then i am not sure how it would play out | 22:07 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: so no im on a separate computer | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: no, becausethe IP will fall in your DHCP pool | 22:07 |
| SolarisB1y | maybe if dhcp can a send a no gw option? | 22:07 |
| === chuck_ is now known as TheHumanscience | ||
| SolarisB1y | not sure if thats possible though | 22:08 |
| rox | Erin: i'm afraid you can't make DHCP not give you a gateway setting | 22:08 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, huh ? | 22:08 |
| BalthaTczar | im having some trouble with video, its as if color is missing in mp4 files its mainly blue and gray | 22:08 |
| BalthaTczar | someone have a solution for this ? | 22:08 |
| rox | Erin: what you could do, though, is delete the route post-festum | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: so the computer will appear in the subnet and be contactable, you wouldn't have to configure every device | 22:08 |
| TheHumanscience | How do i turn on a wireless usb adapter in ubuntu 10.04? | 22:08 |

| anathema_ | hi guys i have the problem that applications are not displayed in dash. anyone to help? thanks in advance | 22:08 |
| Mothra | which would you guys recommend | 22:08 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: im going to restart | 22:08 |
| Erin | Mothra, use mbr | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Mothra: just use gparted and make it all one Ext4 partition | 22:09 |
| KobeSyst1m | ActionParsnip: my laptop | 22:09 |

| xckpd7 | hello. question: how to copy folders from server to server (recursively) only if they don't already exist? | 22:09 |

| xckpd7 | I want a scp that doesn't waste time recopying over folders that already exist | 22:09 |

| anathema_ | ActionParsnip, what application? after some updates, applications are not shown in dash search | 22:09 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, so I can set a static route w/ a dhcp server you are sayng sorry im getting confused I guess ill just setup a static network. | 22:10 |
| TheHumanscience | help? anybody? | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | xckpd7: rsync | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: if you use a 192.168.0.0/24 network and set the wired connection to 192.168.0.254 then any system connecting to your network will also get a 192.168.0.0/24 address via DHCP and be able to contact the system | 22:10 |
| SolarisB1y | Mothra: you can just use the whole disk or you can make a large partition that is the whole disk | 22:10 |

| xckpd7 | yes but what's the syntax | 22:10 |
| xckpd7 | or it automatically ignores existing | 22:10 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, what device? Does it come w/ linux drivers | 22:11 |

| SolarisB1y | rsync is also my friend | 22:11 |
| TheHumanscience | its not recognized rather. | 22:12 |
| xckpd7 | Jordan_U: that really doesn't answer my question | 22:12 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, it does not show up in ifconfig at all ? | 22:12 |

| TheHumanscience | no | 22:13 |
| Jordan_U | xckpd7: It actually does: "It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination". | 22:13 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, yea I am not a networking expert. I have it setup this way now. dhcp server with mac address remembering so it sets static ip's like my NIC is 192.168.1.3 and the wifi is 192.168.1.7 | 22:13 |
| TheHumanscience | erin: just eth0 and Lo | 22:13 |

| ActionParsnip | Erin: just use the .254 IP so it doesn't clash with the DHCP pool | 22:22 |
| Guest38052 | abcdefg | 22:23 |

| Erin | TheHumanscience, yea your computer is seeing the usb device which is the first step. the second step is to run that file to build a driver module third step if it doesnt auto modprobe that module is to do it manually (it probably does it for you though) | 22:24 |

I awoke every morning before dawn and carried several buckets filled with goat milk up the seventh district hill, and on the way I would shiver under the pressure of the buckets and be forced to stop at least twice. | 22:30 |
| cinead | choise? | 22:30 |
| tech1 | shut the fuck up | 22:30 |
| Mothra | Why is there still a floppy drive listed in ubuntu floppy drives have been dead forever | 22:30 |
| Erin | tech1, wow calm down son. | 22:30 |
| c_smith | exutux, if you mean seeing anything as random lines, then yes, I see that. | 22:30 |
| mooser | is there a free alternative software for Dreamveawer on ubuntu? a website editor? | 22:31 |
| talsamon | i've te | 22:31 |
| Guest38052 | bump | 22:31 |
| Erin | lol k-lined | 22:31 |
| Mothra | also thanks to everyon for helping me with my previous hard drive problem you people are awesome :) | 22:31 |
| IdleOne | tech1: please be civil and no swearing | 22:31 |
| wjtaylor | Has anyone gotten mic or line in to work in 10.04 or 10.10? | 22:31 |
| tech1 | there are probably other wysiwyg website editors, but probably not as good as dreamweaver | 22:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest38052, Do you have a support need? | 22:31 |
| tech1 | sorry was just trying to get rid of the troll talking religious nonsense | 22:31 |
| talsamon | i have the problem if i klick in the helpmenu of some programms on the link the browser opens on the startsite not on the target-url | 22:32 |
| c_smith | tech1, at least be civil about it, man. | 22:32 |
| tech1 | i shall try :) | 22:32 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: try to avoid editors like dreamweaver, they give terrible results | 22:32 |
| mooser | dreamweaver is good one. | 22:33 |
| tech1 | yeh hand coding is better | 22:33 |
| rox | c_smith: how about disabling one of your GPUs in bios and trying again? | 22:33 |
| mooser | hand coding is time losing. | 22:33 |
| tech1 | no | 22:33 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: uh, no | 22:33 |
| rox | c_smith: i would leave the intel running, if i were you | 22:33 |
| c_smith | rox, I'll try. | 22:33 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, you doing ok?? | 22:33 |
| mooser | also a designer (not developer) like me can not use hand coding | 22:33 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: I do quite a bit of webby work; when I come across stuff done in dreamweaver or frontpage I just scrap it and start again from scratch | 22:33 |
| elvano | Alright, I reinstalled my Luibuntu and it still gives me "There is no such partition." and the grub resque commandline. Please help me out here | 22:34 |
| rox | c_smith: i know this is not the real solution to your problem, but it could be a workaround | 22:34 |
| gordonjcp | elvano: sounds like you haven't set up your partitions properly somehow | 22:34 |
| wilee-nilee | elvano, Where is grub being put as far as mbr's, do you have multiple HD's? | 22:35 |
| TheHumanscience | erin: it says "install.sh": no such file or directory but im looking right at it | 22:35 |
| dgrogan_ | In gnome in lucid, if you try to drag one window next to another one, there is a pause when their edges meet so that you can align them perfectly. What is that behavior called? Can I get it in unity? | 22:35 |
| mooser | gordonjcp there is always an issue between developers and designers. they do not have fully control and talent... | 22:35 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, Alright what directory are you in? and ls -l shows install.sh ? | 22:36 |
| elvano | Yes, I think it's a problem with the partitions, but i don't know how to solve it. @ gordonjcp | 22:36 |
| MonkeyDust | gordonjcp sticky windows, i guess | 22:36 |
| TheHumanscience | erin: cd Downloads | 22:36 |
| TheHumanscience | I downloaded the driver from the official site | 22:36 |
| c_smith | rox, not a solution, as the BIOS doesn't list it. | 22:37 |
| moniker127 | Hey anyone willing to help me get Ubuntu working? I've installed it twice now, using two different methods, to dual boot with windows 7- and it keeps just showing me a blank purple screen after I select it in the windows boot loader. Anyone know whats wrong? | 22:37 |
| elvano | I'm booting the live CD, if can try to figure it out if gparted shows me this info @ wilee-nilee | 22:37 |
| rox | elvano: mmm, first, we might want to try if you can boot at all | 22:37 |
| Slayz | should i do apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade first? thanks | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: I do both design and dev | 22:37 |
| mooser | gordonjcp there is always an issue between developers and designers. they do not have fully control and talent of each others job i mean | 22:37 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, ok so you extracted the RTL--blah-blah-blah folder to ~/Downloads ? | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: granted I lean more to the dev side, but all the designers I know hand-code the HTML | 22:37 |
| TheHumanscience | yep | 22:37 |
| elvano | I can boot my USB live CD, does that count @ rox | 22:37 |
| skpl^ | type ./install.sh | 22:38 |
| gordonjcp | mooser: but this is -ot ;-) | 22:38 |
| rox | elvano: no, i ment, when you boot and it throws you the grub command line | 22:38 |
| mooser | :) | 22:38 |
| wilee-nilee | elvano, Gparted will show you the amount of HD's which I would think you would know already, it will show nothing about the mbr though. | 22:38 |
| rox | elvano: try booting manually | 22:38 |
| mooser | i can not code. dreamweaver does it all for me | 22:38 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, then you did cd ~/Downloads/RTL<TAB KEY to auto complete filename> | 22:38 |
| rox | elvano: i'll help you with the commands, if you don't know how to | 22:38 |
| mooser | i can edit it manually but can not code it all | 22:38 |
| moniker127 | html is worth learning. your pages come out so much better when you don't use an editor. | 22:38 |
| elvano | I know I have 2 physical but a few more partitions @ wilee-nilee | 22:39 |
| TheHumanscience | erin: u said to said to run "sudo chmod+x install.sh && ./install.sh" and i did... | 22:39 |
| mooser | i do know html well | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: try bluefish | 22:39 |
| elvano | That'd be much appriciated @ rox | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mooser: i suggest you learn HTML if yu want to do web production profesionally | 22:39 |
| mooser | but its just not html. its css its js ect.. | 22:39 |
| moniker127 | I've just never really seen the point of editors. For me its faster to just type it in. | 22:39 |
| moniker127 | oh, those are all pretty much the same thing | 22:40 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, have you cd in to the RTL folder though | 22:40 |
| moniker127 | you will want to learn them all, they all go together | 22:40 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, does your terminal look like this??? x@Media:~/Downloads/RTL8192CU_8188CUS_8188CE-VAU_linux_v3.1.2590.20110922$ | 22:40 |
| TheHumanscience | Erin: it recognized the directory but somehow not the intall.sh file | 22:40 |
| TheHumanscience | yes | 22:40 |
| moniker127 | well, as far as web development goes- you can do pretty much anything with html, javascript, css, and php. those are the ones i suggest. | 22:41 |
| c_smith | BIOS didn't list anything helpful | 22:41 |
| wilee-nilee | elvano, there is a bootscript that can be run that will really tell us what we need to know, down load and run it and post the text in a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 22:41 |
| krababbel | I am trying to connect to an iscsi target. It has allowed ALL,ALL, but Ubuntu tells me iscsiadm: Cannot perform discovery. Invalid Initiatorname. | 22:41 |
| mooser | i do know html very well | 22:42 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, well x@Media:~/Downloads/RTL8192CU_8188CUS_8188CE-VAU_linux_v3.1.2590.20110922$ sudo chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh works fine for me it asks for root password to create the driver. | 22:42 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, not really sure what your issue is then | 22:42 |
| mooser | I am jut avoiding creating sites writing code instead of using editors. | 22:42 |
| TheHumanscience | why would it recognize the directory and not the file? | 22:43 |
| rox | c_smith: if you have an onboard graphics chip, you can usually swiotch it off in bios, the other option is to pull the graphics card out | 22:43 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, idk can you take a screen shot of your terminal after you type "ls -l" in that directory ?? | 22:43 |
| c_smith | rox, sadly, the optical drive proved faulty, this may be another faulty part. | 22:43 |
| c_smith | I'm booting from a flash drive | 22:43 |
| rox | c_smith: good luck | 22:44 |
| TheHumanscience | sure...it might just take a sec | 22:44 |
| c_smith | rox, I'm gonna try the software that was provided see if that gives an option. | 22:44 |
| c_smith | probably won't, but it might. | 22:45 |
| Erin | TheHumanscience, so this is mine... http://i.imgur.com/DPLt1.png | 22:45 |
| elvano | I think I'll take one step at a time, starting with rox ' @ wilee-nilee | 22:45 |
| Troy^ | ok I'm trying to mound a ntfs partitioned drive. sudo mount /dev/sdc/ /media/2tbint/ i get mount: you must specify the filesystem type. How do i do this? | 22:46 |
| rox | elvano: when you are in grub command line, tell me | 22:46 |
| rox | elvano: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/Command_002dline-and-menu-entry-commands.html | 22:46 |
| Erin | Troy^, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/2tbint | 22:46 |
| Troy^ | oh | 22:46 |
| rox | elvano: these are grub commands | 22:46 |
| Erin | Troy^, you gotta mount a partition not just a whole disk not the 1 | 22:46 |
| rox | elvano: hopefully you won't have to issue more then 3 | 22:46 |
| Erin | note* | 22:46 |
| Troy^ | ty Erin, so in my fstab what special parameters do i need to automount the /dev/sdc1/ | 22:47 |
| inx-live | hi all of you | 22:47 |
| Erin | Troy^, /dev/sdc1 /mnt/point ntfs | 22:47 |
| elvano | I'm in grub resque command line, does that count? @rox | 22:47 |
| Troy^ | Erin: it is that simple? | 22:48 |
| rox | elvano: i hope so | 22:48 |
| rox | elvano: first, let's try to figure out, what your root partition is | 22:48 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea but i'd use a UUID | 22:48 |
| Erin | Troy^, run sudo blkid /dev/sdc1 | 22:48 |
| Troy^ | uuid sorry? | 22:48 |
| rox | elvano: do you know how to use tab-completion in command line? | 22:48 |
| Erin | Troy^, then ur fstab looks like this UUID=fb653060-f67a-48cc-ac1e-1bf2313dcaca /hd2 ext4 | 22:48 |
| elvano | sadly my grubknowlegge is near 0 | 22:48 |
| Erin | Troy^, subtitute your UUID mount point and file system obviously. all on one line. | 22:49 |
| rox | elvano: i ment tab-completion in general, not just grub | 22:49 |
| Erin | Troy^, using UUID helps the computer know 100% what disk it is incase you add/remove disks it won't get confused its like a fingerprint of the partition. | 22:49 |
| elvano | Such as in routers and such? @rox | 22:49 |
| rox | elvano: where you type just the first part of a command, and then hit the TAB key, and the command line completes your command | 22:49 |
| Troy^ | Erin makes sense. very informative thank you | 22:49 |
| rox | elvano: never mind | 22:49 |
| Erin | Troy^, no prob. | 22:50 |
| rox | elvano: you need to issue 3 or 4 commands | 22:50 |
| Troy^ | it didn't spit my out a UUID when i did blkid /dev/sdc1/ | 22:50 |
| rox | elvano: root, kernel, initrd and boot | 22:50 |
| rox | each with appropriate arguments | 22:50 |
| rox | elvano: the key is to get the root right | 22:50 |
| rox | elvano: the root command will tell grub on which partition to look for kernel and other things | 22:50 |
| lhachmi | salut | 22:51 |
| Erin | Troy^, is it an extended partition | 22:51 |
| TheHumanscience | erin: sorry...im at work...it might be a little bit | 22:51 |
| rox | elvano: type: root=(hd0,0) | 22:52 |
| Troy^ | Erin: the whole drive is formatted NTFS with all my media on it | 22:52 |
| lhachmi | how are you | 22:52 |
| Erin | Troy^, can you pastebin what "sudo fdisk -l" shows | 22:52 |
| elvano | azerty -qwerty issue, might take a sec @ rox | 22:52 |
| rox | elvano: try to use tab-completion | 22:53 |
| rox | elvano: type root and then hit tab twice | 22:53 |
| Erin | Troy^, i don't use NTFS on linux but pretty sure it will still spit a blkid | 22:53 |
| rox | elvano: see, if you get any suggestions | 22:53 |
| Erin | Troy^, all my partitions will spit blkids except the extended ones | 22:53 |
| elvano | tabcompletion doesn't seem to work here @ rox | 22:54 |
| Troy^ | Erin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178751/ | 22:54 |
| elvano | but atleast it didn't say 'unknown' command this time @ rox | 22:54 |
| rox | elvano: ok | 22:54 |
| rox | elvano: then we have to type it all out | 22:54 |
| Erin | Troy^, sudo blkid /dev/sdd1 | 22:55 |
| rox | elvano: but no sweat | 22:55 |
| Troy^ | Erin: sdd is my ext it is usbmounted | 22:55 |
| Troy^ | fizz@server:~$ sudo blkid /dev/sdd1 | 22:55 |
| inx-live | exit | 22:55 |
| Troy^ | /dev/sdd1: LABEL="3TB EXT" UUID="C6B89CABB89C9B8D" TYPE="ntfs" | 22:56 |
| Troy^ | hmm | 22:56 |
| Erin | Troy^, but it doesn't work on /dev/sdc1 ?? | 22:56 |
| Troy^ | no Erin | 22:56 |
| inx-live | ello troy | 22:56 |
| Erin | Troy^, well I really am not sure why :\ | 22:56 |
| inx-live | hello erin | 22:56 |
| Erin | hello. | 22:56 |
| Troy^ | :( i can see all its files it shows identifer as 0x0000000 lol | 22:56 |
| inx-live | auestion plw | 22:56 |
| inx-live | question plz | 22:57 |
| elvano | This is making me sweat. What's the next step? @ rox | 22:57 |
| rox | elvano: so it took the root command? | 22:57 |
| rox | elvano: the next one is kernel | 22:57 |
| === Grapefruit is now known as doublen00b | ||
| elvano | It gave no error so i suppose it did @ rox | 22:57 |
| doublen00b | Hey | 22:57 |
| inx-live | hey | 22:57 |
| doublen00b | Could someone help me out? :) | 22:58 |
| inx-live | ok | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | Troy^: maybe it hasn't got a uuid set | 22:58 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea I really see no reason why it shouldn't work. can you move data off of the drive and re-partition it? | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | !help | doublen00b | 22:58 |
| ubottu | doublen00b: 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 | 22:58 |
| rox | elvano: kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-<TAB> | 22:58 |
| Troy^ | Erin: it just spit me out a UUID lol | 22:58 |
| Erin | Troy^, now it works? | 22:58 |
| Erin | Troy^, wtf..... | 22:58 |
| rox | elvano: type the vmlinuz- and then hit TAB key | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | Troy^: you know about /dev/disks/by-uuid/ and so on? | 22:58 |
| Troy^ | Erin: /dev/sdc1: LABEL="2TB" UUID="47D840A910F17C54" TYPE="ntfs" | 22:58 |
| Erin | gordonjcp, i don't think you set a UUID it calculates one for you based on disk telemetry or some crap. | 22:58 |
| rox | elvano: the rpoblem is, that we don't know, what kernel you have installed, so hopefully tab-completion will find it | 22:58 |
| inx-live | hey | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | Erin: no, it is generated and it can be rewritten | 22:59 |
| doublen00b | Aha, I see. I've never installed Linux before, and I want it on my Macbook Pro 8,1. (2011 model) However, I already have a Windows partition with everything on it and no way to back it up. What do I do? | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | Erin: it's a bit of Deep Magic though, so try not to do that ;-) | 22:59 |
| elvano | tabcompletion really does,'t work =/ @rox | 22:59 |
| Cheri703 | I was trying to get my bluetooth headset connected with a new dongle, and I wasn't getting any audio. I clicked where it said "telephony duplex"or something, and chose "off" now the bluetooth headset doesn't show up under the sound settings, even when connected to the computer. Anyone know how to get it back? or how to undo whatever configuration I changed? (like deleting a file or something?) | 22:59 |
| Erin | gordonjcp, awesome I just learned something then. Had no idea it can be re-written | 22:59 |
| inx-live | plz want to know how to install inx on harddrive | 22:59 |
| szal | what is inx? | 22:59 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea now you can use the UUID part in /etc/fstab just remove the "'s from it | 22:59 |
| gordonjcp | Erin: well, it seems to be rewriteable, I've rewritten them... | 22:59 |
| Erin | gordonjcp, how do you re-write them? | 23:00 |
| elvano | will this pose a great problem? @rox | 23:00 |
| Troy^ | Erin: like this? UUID=47D840A910F17C54 /media/2tbint ntfs | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | doublen00b: it's safest to back everything up before getting deep into it, but you should be able to change partition sizes | 23:00 |
| inx-live | heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 23:00 |
| rox | elvano: hmm, then do this | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | doublen00b: are you using something like refit? | 23:00 |
| rox | elvano: kernel /vmlinuz | 23:00 |
| Erin | Troy^, indeed | 23:00 |
| doublen00b | I am using refit. Dunno where to go from here, though. | 23:00 |
| rox | elvano: with the slash | 23:00 |
| rox | elvano: next command is | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | thank you Erin: | 23:01 |
| rox | elvano: initrd /initrd.img | 23:01 |
| rox | elvano: and them boot | 23:01 |
| Erin | Troy^, then when you have it in /etc/fstab just do sudo mount -a | 23:01 |
| gordonjcp | doublen00b: I just split down my OSX partition and installed onto the second half of the drive | 23:01 |
| doublen00b | How did you do that? | 23:01 |
| gordonjcp | doublen00b: refit needs an occasional poke, if OSX rewrites the bootloader | 23:01 |
| gordonjcp | doublen00b: with the disk utility in OSX | 23:02 |
| doublen00b | Also, some sources online say that Ubuntu won't work on 8,1 but they are old sources. | 23:02 |
| Erin | gordonjcp, how do you change a UUID buddy ? now I need to know :-P | 23:02 |
| elvano | 'unknown command 'kernel' ' @rox | 23:02 |
| doublen00b | Well yeah, but once you had a second partition, what did you do? | 23:02 |
| Troy^ | Erin: Thanks no errors. All is good | 23:02 |
| Erin | Troy^, sweet, very weird that it wouldn't give you a UUID for a bit though.... | 23:02 |
| Troy^ | i know :S | 23:02 |
| gordonjcp | Erin: I can't remember now, I'll look into it tomorrow | 23:03 |
| exutux | Erin: sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXX | 23:03 |
| gordonjcp | Erin: I was doing a lot of pretty strange things to GPT and EFI at the time | 23:03 |
| elvano | I messed up bad, didn't I @ rox | 23:03 |
| exutux | Erin: and it set a random UUID | 23:03 |
| Troy^ | Erin: this is an older PC and a weird mobo it has the IDE and SATA combo | 23:03 |
| rox | elvano: no | 23:03 |
| Erin | exutusoh thanks. | 23:03 |
| gordonjcp | exutux: sounds about right | 23:03 |
| exutux | sure :p | 23:03 |
| Erin | exutux, oh awesome. Doubt i'll ever need it | 23:03 |
| rox | elvano: try this: linux /vmlinuz | 23:03 |
| rox | elvano: just those two words: linux /vmlinuz | 23:04 |
| Erin | exutux, what would be the chances of the same UUID. if you had the same exact disk with the same partitions it would still give diffferent UUID right ?? | 23:04 |
| gmachine_24 | I am using cps to copy folders/files to a remote computer; my question is what permissions will the files/folders have once they are copied to the remote computer? | 23:04 |
| exutux | Erin: for example when you clone some HDD by dd | 23:04 |
| elvano | unknown command 'linux' I'm beginning to wonder if I'm in the right commandline @ rox | 23:04 |
| rox | elvano: so am i | 23:04 |
| Erin | exutux, ahhh!!. | 23:04 |
| rox | elvano: i'm not sure this is grub | 23:04 |
| pyrrhic_ | Is there a way to install multiple packages at once in Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 23:05 |

| pyrrhic_ | Erin, Can I somehow disable the lock? | 23:05 |
| rox | elvano: type this: ls | 23:05 |
| Erin | pyrrhic_, do you have synaptic or software center open ?? | 23:05 |
| gmachine_24 | Erin, if you clone a drive the new drive has the same UUID but you can change it | 23:05 |
| pyrrhic_ | software atm | 23:05 |
| elvano | it says: "Grub rescue>" I haven't been able to do anything. I get on this the moment I power my laptop on | 23:05 |
| patty_ | hii | 23:05 |
| Erin | gmachine_24, yea exutux said that thanks ;-) | 23:06 |
| Ironsight | okay, so if I purchase something off the software center it downloads *really* slow, is there a way to fix that? | 23:06 |

| rox | elvano: i'm sorry, if it as regular grub, i'd be able to help you boot, but if i don't know what is there, i really can't help you | 23:06 |
| rox | elvano: i'm sorry, i did my best | 23:07 |
| Ironsight | I mean, I don't normally complain about download speed, but bastion is about a gig, and it has been downloading for 2 hours, when I have a 50mbit connection | 23:07 |
| elvano | I'm kinda afraid I might not have a grub at all anymore... @ rox | 23:07 |
| szal | pyrrhic_: you can't.. let the other thing finish first | 23:07 |
| Erin | gmachine_24, oh nothing happened to me. We got to this conversation cause I was helping someone find a UUID of a disk and I had no idea you could actually change one :-) | 23:07 |
| pyrrhic_ | szal, sad panda | 23:07 |
| gordonjcp | nn all | 23:07 |
| gmachine_24 | elevano, have you tried a grub restore disc? | 23:07 |
| gjlstc | sudo dpkg -i *.deb ? | 23:08 |
| Erin | can't elvano just do sudo grub-install /dev/device ??? | 23:08 |
| Erin | and sudo update-grub | 23:08 |
| gmachine_24 | elevano, I use one of the restore disks here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 23:09 |
| Ironsight | does the commercial paid apps come from a different repo than my free apps? | 23:10 |
| elvano | In what command-line should i do this? @ Arin | 23:10 |
| Troy^ | omg im having some serious issues now Erin. might be my python i believe i can even do sudo apt-get update | 23:10 |
| Erin | Troy^, did you uninstall something you shouldn't have? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ironsight: I believe its just a different section | 23:11 |
| Erin | Troy^, what error you getting? | 23:11 |
| Troy^ | Erin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178778/ | 23:11 |
| elvano | I'm just reading a simular problem. Does Lubuntu come with Grub (1) by any chance? | 23:12 |
| Erin | Troy^, the servers might just be down. | 23:12 |
| Erin | Troy^, switch to the US servers for awhile | 23:12 |
| Erin | Troy^, its not resolving the address either network problems on your end or ubuntu's end or servers down for maintenance | 23:13 |
| Troy^ | hmm weird | 23:13 |
| Troy^ | i think my box is not getting to the internet but i'm connect to it | 23:13 |
| doublen00b | Anyone know where I can get a step-by-step guide on triple booting into Ubuntu on MacBook Pro 8,1? | 23:13 |
| doublen00b | The ones I've found online have been incomplete or reported not working with my model. | 23:14 |
| Erin | Troy^, you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change to us servers | 23:14 |
| Erin | Troy^, if you can go to website then your DNS is working fine. | 23:14 |
| elvano | Were those commands both Grub as grub2 compatible? For i have found a similar problem where grub was installed instead of grub2 @ rox | 23:14 |
| Ironsight | !java|Ironsight | 23:14 |

| Erin | Troy^, and it was working b4 ? | 23:15 |
| Troy^ | yea | 23:15 |
| Erin | Troy^, static or dhcp ? | 23:15 |
| Troy^ | static | 23:15 |
| Erin | Troy^, using /etc/network/interfaces to manage or network manager ? | 23:16 |
| Troy^ | dns values? | 23:16 |
| Erin | yea did your dns settings get screwed some how? | 23:16 |
| Troy^ | /etc/network/interfaces there is no window manager installed | 23:16 |
| Troy^ | possibly on my router | 23:16 |
| Erin | Troy^, well check it make sure its all correct | 23:16 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea check ur router make sure its pulling dns servers from the ISP | 23:16 |
| Erin | maybe power cycle it | 23:16 |
| Erin | if it is pulling dns servers make sure you can do an nslookup ip.of.dns.server | 23:17 |
| Troy^ | Erin: http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9527/advancedsetuplanipanddh.png | 23:17 |
| Troy^ | Erin fizz@server:/$ nslookup 192.168.2.1 | 23:17 |
| Troy^ | ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 23:17 |
| Erin | Troy^, you said it was static that is dhcp | 23:18 |
| Erin | Troy^, and why is it setup to not pull dns from the wan connection?? | 23:18 |
| Troy^ | Erin: my router is router/modem combo | 23:19 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea i am not a networking expert just know some stuff. | 23:19 |
| Troy^ | me neither Erin | 23:19 |
| Erin | Troy^, is there a status to that router that shows the actually dns servers its pulling from the isp | 23:20 |
| Erin | is this cable? | 23:20 |
| Troy^ | fiber | 23:20 |
| Erin | Troy^, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces ? | 23:20 |
| Troy^ | Erin: it is fiber here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178788/ | 23:20 |
| Troy^ | err | 23:20 |

| doublen00b | MacTel Support wiki doesn't have any info for Ubuntu 12 for my model Mac... | 23:22 |
| === rez is now known as zproc | ||
| doublen00b | So, I guess I'm out of luck. | 23:23 |
| Erin | Troy^, you need nameserver ip.of.whatever.it.said.in.router :-) | 23:23 |
| Troy^ | so the dns address? | 23:23 |
| Troy^ | nameserver 192.168.2.1 | 23:24 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea it might be dns-nameservers not sure which one | 23:24 |
| Erin | I havent used static in awhile | 23:24 |
| Erin | Troy^, it used to be in /etc/resolv.conf | 23:24 |
| Erin | which ubuntu are you on? | 23:24 |
| Troy^ | this ubuntu server 12.04 | 23:24 |
| Erin | k its in /etc/network/interfaces then under the eth0 stuff | 23:24 |
| confused | how is it that after a complete removal of Firefox, the internet still sees my login and password? How can I remove it | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | elvano: lubuntu uses grub2, just like the 'regular' gnome based ubuntu | 23:25 |
| Erin | Troy^, yea its dns-nameservers | 23:25 |
| Erin | Troy^, then sudo service networking restart | 23:26 |
| confused | I have also done a root bleachbit and still a fresh install of firefox and the login is still there???? | 23:26 |
| szal | confused: "the internet"? | 23:26 |
| Troy^ | hmm dns-nameservers what is the dns though i dont get it? is it the router itself? | 23:26 |
| Erin | Troy^, it was in that pic you posted | 23:26 |
| Erin | Troy^, normally you can use the IP of the router for the dns server | 23:26 |
| Troy^ | well that is the physical address of the router | 23:26 |
| Erin | Troy^, so if its 192.168.1.1 you can use 192.168.1.1 | 23:27 |
| confused | szal yea?? whats up with that?? how can it still be there after bleachbit as root and complete removal of the browser | 23:27 |
| Erin | it passes the dns requests through | 23:27 |
| Troy^ | so dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1 | 23:27 |
| Erin | Troy^, likely | 23:27 |
| Erin | assuming thats ip of router | 23:27 |
| Troy^ | yup | 23:28 |
| confused | how is it that after a complete removal of Firefox, the internet still sees my login and password? Is it being tracked by IP?? if so, how to clear it? | 23:28 |
| elvano | Hey, I'd say it's nice to see you again, but my situation isn't that laughable. I managed to get into my Lubuntu through some grub commands. Can you help me to configure the Grub correctly from here on? @ ActionParsnip | 23:28 |
| szal | confused: what do you mean by "the internet"? and login and pwd for what? | 23:28 |
| Erin | confused, your name is perfect :-) | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | confused: the removal doesn't clear the settings in $HOME, so the old settings will be used if you reinstall the app | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | confused: take off the tinfoil hat | 23:28 |
| Erin | confused, ~/.config/firefox possibly ? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | confused: if you want default/vanilla settings for the browser simply rename ~/.mozilla/firefox then rerun the browser | 23:29 |
| Erin | ahh | 23:29 |
| confused | Erin all right then... thanks Ill try it. | 23:29 |
| Erin | no do what he just said | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | confused: uninstalling and reinstalling the browser doesn't default settings | 23:29 |
| Erin | i was wrong. | 23:29 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, if he uses purge it does | 23:30 |
| confused | Erin wants to borrow confussed's nick hahah | 23:30 |
| szal | ActionParsnip: doesn't what default settings? | 23:30 |
| Troy^ | Erin: seems like i'm stil not connected to the internet | 23:30 |

| Erin | Troy^, nslookup ip.of.router again | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: uninstalling and reinstalling apps | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: it doesn't remove the configs in $HOME | 23:30 |
| Erin | Troy^, did you restart networking ? | 23:30 |
| Troy^ | yes i did Erin | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: purge removes the configs from /etc and so forth | 23:31 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, oh really I thought purge was like a nuclear missile. | 23:31 |
| Troy^ | grr i hate this router | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: someone proposed it a while back but it was rejected | 23:31 |
| Troy^ | fizz@server:/$ nslookup 192.168.2.6 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 23:31 |
| Erin | Troy^, maybe action parsnip can help w/ your dns issue he seems to know alot about networking | 23:31 |
| Erin | Troy^, i thought it was 192.168.2.1 | 23:31 |
| Troy^ | yea hold on lol | 23:31 |
| pyrrhic_ | Gah. Wish there was a way to install multiple apps on 12.04 | 23:31 |
| confused | SO, Purge is like a better bleachbit then? | 23:32 |
| Erin | pyrrhic_, there is! | 23:32 |
| Troy^ | Erin: still the same though | 23:32 |
| pyrrhic_ | Erin, Without using && commands and such. Like | 23:32 |
| pyrrhic_ | The ability to open several installations at once. | 23:32 |
| Erin | pyrrhic_, sudo apt-get install package1 package2 | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic_: you can: sudo apt-get install appname1 appname2 appname3 | 23:32 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, i've told him this before :-P | 23:32 |
| pyrrhic_ | ActionParsnip, Erin, You can't change the locking mechanism on dpkg though? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic_: same with removal | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic_: how do you mean? | 23:33 |
| Erin | pyrrhic_, no you can't install/uninstall multiple things at the same time | 23:33 |
| HAMKoot | pyrrhic_, you can add more apps in software centre, so it will cue | 23:33 |
| pyrrhic_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 23:33 |
| pyrrhic_ | ^^^ That | 23:33 |
| Erin | that would be stupid. | 23:33 |
| mika__ | has anyone tried counter-stike global offencive ? im having some troubles starting it up, cries about my video card (because the sofware is having ATI problems) though i changed videopci id's to match nvidia card | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic_: do you have software centre open? | 23:33 |
| Erin | pyrrhic_, that would cause issues if you did that. | 23:33 |
| Troy^ | I don't understand why it is not getting DNS. | 23:33 |
| pyrrhic_ | No. Just an active installation in terminal going and I want more lol | 23:33 |
| Erin | Troy^, is the actual router getting DNS ??? | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: if you manually set DNS, does it work ok? | 23:34 |
| Troy^ | Erin yes | 23:34 |
| Erin | ActionParsnip, I had him do that, and he says no. | 23:34 |
| Troy^ | i am talking to you | 23:34 |
| rox | pyrrhic_: you are probably running apt-get or software center or patitude or synaptic somewhere | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | pyrrhic_: then let it finish, you can use multiple package names in apt-get, you don't have to install one by one | 23:34 |
| rox | pyrrhic_: it's probably stuch on some dialog and it isn't exiting | 23:34 |
| Troy^ | ActionParsnip: yes i added dns-nameserver 192.168.2.1 | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: try; echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: do you get web access? | 23:35 |
| pyrrhic_ | rox, Yes. I know that. I'm just trying to allow more than one install to go at once. | 23:35 |
| Erin | Troy^, dns-nameservers with an s | 23:35 |
| Troy^ | ActionParsnip: now i do wtf | 23:35 |

| confused | ActionParsnip Oh great, I have an update issue that has been a pain for weeks and it is back again. In the update window there is a 85kb file that needs to be installed .. When I click install the blue line races across the window and then looks like it is checking again only to see the damn 85kb file is still being reported to beinstalled.. I have looked online and CANNOT find a solution. Can you help | 23:35 |
| Erin | I thought they stopped using /etc/resolv.conf | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | confused: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:36 |
| Erin | arent u supposed to use dns-nameservers now | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | 23:36 |

| Troy^ | ActionParsnip: what did that command really do? | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | its just dynaicly generated at bootup | 23:36 |
| elvano | Alright I got it fixed. Thanks to you, rox I got a betterunderstanding of the cmdline. the command weren't wrong, we were just on the wrong level (if you say it like that) &&Erin knew to tell me what action had to be taken eventhough I had to get loggedo n first - thanks both@ rox & Erin | 23:36 |
| Erin | Troy^, so now change that to 192.168.2.1 and see if it works | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: added the text to the file | 23:36 |
| eris0xff | heh thx gmachine. was really going to offer to answer some | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: now try web access etc, is it k? | 23:37 |
| Erin | elvano, np. | 23:37 |
| confused | ActionParsnip I wll do another pastebin of it.. I Did the sudo update and upgrade and it was still there | 23:37 |
| Troy^ | yea was i suppose to change the ip from 8.8.8.8? | 23:37 |
| Erin | Troy^, yes | 23:37 |
| gmachine_24 | eris0xff, then you came to the right place | 23:37 |
| eris0xff | :-) | 23:37 |
| Troy^ | Erin: that is weird because now it is working ! | 23:37 |
| rypervenche | ActionParsnip: Ummm, why are you using tee to /dev/null and not just echo > ? | 23:37 |
| Erin | Troy^, well I thought they stopped using /etc/resolv.conf or I'd have told you to do that 20 minutes ago | 23:38 |
| Erin | :-( | 23:38 |
| Erin | so ActionParsnip do you not need dns-nameservers at all ? | 23:38 |
| eris0xff | (actually just pulled my brain out of 10 straight hours of plan9 type architecture work, so it should be refreshing) | 23:38 |

| eris0xff | oops, wife unit suggest I need to eat before donating copious free time to users | 23:40 |

| Troy^ | so in /etc/network/interfaces do i still dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1 because in my /etc/resolv.conf it is nameserver 192.168.2.1 | 23:40 |
| Marzata | wife unit, :D | 23:40 |
| Troy^ | i really don't get the dns thing. but it is working at the moment. | 23:41 |
| Erin | Troy^, not sure, I asked him that already my guess is you don't need it since /etc/resolv.conf is a systemwide dns file. | 23:41 |
| Erin | Troy^, dns is domain name server. it translates google.com into the ip numbers so your pc can connect to it. | 23:42 |
| Erin | Troy^, so if you had typed the correct numbers for a website it still would have worked even w/ no dns. :-) | 23:42 |

| nibbler_ | dr_willis, don't think so, null is 0 byte long... | 23:58 |
| dj_ryan | rox: i did that and that helped | 23:58 |
| dj_ryan | but more importantly, netcfg wont get the hostname from dhcp | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | nibbler_: it writes all nulls to the disk. | 23:58 |
| Flannel | confused: Alright, that all looks normal enough. Now try an upgrade/dist-upgrade, does it still try to upgrade nothing? | 23:58 |
| xorgd | dj_ryan: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/partition bs=1MB | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | a count entry may be needed. | 23:58 |
| Flannel | confused: Do you realise you have -proposed enabled? | 23:59 |
| confused | E: Invalid operation upgrade/dist-upgrade | 23:59 |
| nibbler_ | dr_willis, nope. see: http://nopaste.info/ca8c42a3b1.html - it is 0 byte long, its a sink, not a source | 23:59 |
| Flannel | confused: sorry, it was one or the other, go ahead and do just an upgrade. | 23:59 |
| confused | Flannel no, i dont know what it is | 23:59 |
| Erin | dj_ryan, yea if you do urandom it will take forever since cpu has to gen random data | 23:59 |
| nibbler_ | dr_willis, what you might mean is /dev/zero... | 23:59 |
