[00:00] <daemon> histo, hmm I get 'group dns does not exist' anyway to force it to create it with useradd
[00:00] <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?
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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?
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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?
[00:05] <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.
[00:06] <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.
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <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] <Sach> histo: u still there?
[00:09] <histo> Sach: yes
[00:10] <Sach> histo: so ubuntu-restricted-extras installed successfully, but my vcd still doesnt play.
[00:10] <Troy^> omg really a vcd?
[00:11] <rsvp> thought it was vlc misspelled
[00:11] <Sach> Troy^: yes, really.
[00:11] <Troy^> vcd is ancient
[00:11] <protoCall7> hmm, after wiping the partition tables and trying again, i get mdadm: Can not open /dev/sda:  Device or resource busy.
[00:12] <Sach> Troy^: maybe it's ancient where you come from  :)
[00:12] <Troy^> Sach: canada lol.
[00:12] <Troy^> Sach: does this vcd work on anything else?
[00:12] <cyrano_> histo: http://pastebin.com/9UgUbvL7
[00:12] <Sach> Troy^: lol .  yes, it works in a dvd player, but not in ubuntu.
[00:12] <histo> Sach: what are you trying to play it with?
[00:13] <Troy^> sach: you have also tried VLC?
[00:13] <Sach> Troy^: mplayer and vlc
[00:13] <histo> !dvd | Sach
[00:13] <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?
[00:14] <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] <zykotick9> VCD is MPEG1 - not a restricted format ;)
[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
[00:15] <histo> cyrano_: commend the auto eth0 line in your /etc/network/interfaces file
[00:15] <rsvp> Personally I find Skype unstable -- seems to work fine after a reboot, but all bets are off after using other media.
[00:15] <histo> Sach: http://wiki.videolan.org/VCD
[00:15] <krumpli> Hi, I have an one year old edubuntu installation using ubuntu 11.04 and I am unable now to update the repositories, it is always talks about "Hash Sum mismatches" and "Encountered a section with no Package: header". I am using the official repository...
[00:16] <krumpli> ow to proceed?
[00:16] <rsvp> Skype loves segmentation faults like no other.
[00:16] <clervis> I've tried many things suggested on other sites/forums. No luck yet. Any ideas at all?
[00:17] <histo> clervis: try a different version of skype maybe?  did you install it from teh partner repo?
[00:17] <setuid> Can someone help me with this? (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
[00:17] <setuid> I have all of the nvidia-common/current/etc. pacakges installed
[00:17] <histo> setuid: how'd you install your nvidia drivers?
[00:17] <Jordan_U> krumpli: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update".

[00:19] <setuid> Kernel 2.6.38 works and loads this driver, but not 2.6.32-42-preempt
[00:19] <clervis> I've tried reinstalling from a number of sources.

[00:20] <Sach> Troy^: sorry, but what do you mean by my dvd dev?
[00:21] <histo> setuid: you need the kernel module for 2.6.32  kernel then
[00:21] <Troy^> well its mounted as a device. most likely it is /dev/dvd/
[00:21] <setuid> histo, Correct, and that's what the above packages build and provide for me
[00:21] <setuid> Unless the packages incorrectly remove the Xorg nvidia driver
[00:21] <rsvp> clervis, pre-Microsoft Skype versions might work, depending on whether they were manually installed previously.

[00:24] <Troy^> krumpli i see it hold on
[00:24] <clervis> OK. Which XML would that be?
[00:25] <Sach> Troy^: vlc opens, but nly shoows me the orange cone.
[00:25] <krumpli> Troy^: what does that mean?
[00:25] <rsvp> clervis, file named "shared.xml"
[00:26] <histo> cyrano_: yes
[00:26] <rypervenche> clervis: What version are you using? run "skype -version"
[00:26] <Cue> Okay so I have a rather interesting one here, apologies now if there's an Ubuntu Server channel that I missed on the way in
[00:26] <Cue> I have a RAID1 setup, software based using mdadm, on 12.04
[00:26] <clervis> 4.0.0.8
[00:27] <Sach> Troy^: if i'm to try a command with /dev/cdrom, what would it be?
[00:27] <Cue> Every few minutes, the I/O spikes to 99% and even vim lags to write a file to disk
[00:27] <Troy^> Sach: i have also read that smplayer may work
[00:27] <Launch_Director> could anyone help me at "grub rescue" please? just intalled ubuntu and that pops up :(
[00:27] <Troy^> not sure Sach that is what i'm reading now
[00:27] <Launch_Director> if i do ls the partitions show up
[00:28] <Launch_Director> but no idea how to boot/mount
[00:28] <Troy^> krumpli: sudo apt-get install -f | pastebinit
[00:28] <rsvp> Cue, More generally on the SLOWNESS of the UNITY DESKTOP:
[00:28] <rsvp> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/803943?comments=all
[00:29] <cyrano_> histo: thanks, that did the trick
[00:29] <Cue> rsvp: Ubuntu Server
[00:29] <histo> cyrano_: yeah it was trying to pull the interface up on boot and waiting for an ip that was the delay
[00:29] <Troy^> sach type gxine in term and then close it. then rick click your cd rom drive which usually appears on desktop or wherever and you should see a VCD option.
[00:29] <Cue> The RAID1 array is what takes up 99% CPU, as a note
[00:30] <Cue> CPU? I/O
[00:30] <cyrano_> histo: some people suggesting comment out everything in the file. which I tried and it happened even when it was connected to the wired network. this makes complete sense now though. thanks again
[00:31] <Sach> Troy^: when trying t open gxine from terminal:  /usr/bin/gxine.real: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[00:31] <rsvp> Cue, it could be the daemon called "whoopsie" capable of eating 80% of available core routinely.
[00:31] <histo> rsvp: whoopsie handles bug and crash reporting i believe
[00:31] <rsvp> whoopsie is present even on server editions.
[00:31] <Launch_Director> can anyone please help with grub?
[00:32] <worm> Launch_Director: What's up?
[00:32] <Cue> rsvp: Well when I see it, it's always "md5" under the command column in iotop
[00:32] <rsvp> histo, but ironically its CPU consumption is buggy (no pun intended).
[00:32] <krazyk_work> If i installed an ubuntu live based distro to a USB, it should boot from multiple computers, right?
[00:32] <Launch_Director> worm: installed latest ubuntu, grub rescue pops up
[00:32] <Launch_Director> worm: other than "ls" no idea what to do
[00:33] <histo> krazyk_work: yes
[00:33] <Troy^> i'm clueless sach it runs fine for me
[00:33] <krumpli> Troy^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176941/
[00:33] <histo> !usb | krazyk_work
[00:34] <Sach> Troy^: but thanks for your help, eh :)
[00:34] <krazyk_work> histo: I've looked through.. it is working on 1 computer.. then when I try to run same from a new computer it can't get past the grub
[00:34] <histo> daemon: user useradd -r -s /bin/false would be more proper I guess
[00:34] <histo> krazyk_work: maybe an issue witht he type of video card on the other computer
[00:35] <krazyk_work> histo: I've tried in various orders.  It will only work on whichever computer I boot the fresh install on 1st
[00:35] <krazyk_work> and I cannot figure out why
[00:35] <worm> Launch_Director: Did you just install it or upgrade to the latest?
[00:35] <Launch_Director> worm: just intalled it
[00:36] <histo> krazyk_work: how did you create the usb stick?
[00:36] <worm> Launch_Director: installed GRUB before?
[00:36] <Launch_Director> worm: but used the partition manager to format and pick out a partition
[00:36] <Launch_Director> worm: never, as in, no idea how to configure it
[00:36] <krazyk_work> from another live usb with same distro...
[00:37] <Launch_Director> worm: man and help don't work so i'm pretty clueless
[00:38] <histo> krazyk_work: did you just do an install to the thumb drive or did you actaully use startup disk creator?
[00:38] <krazyk_work> histo: I'm not sure I understand the difference
[00:38] <worm> Do you still remember the partition's name where you had got your ubuntu in? like sda2 or sdb3 etc.
[00:38] <Launch_Director> worm: sure i can ls
[00:39] <histo> krazyk_work: one makes the thumb drive like the iso the other actrually installs a full system to the usb
[00:39] <Launch_Director> worm: it was sdb2,,
[00:39] <krumpli> Troy^ : it is surely wrong, I can't get package as simple as mysql-server or joe
[00:39] <krazyk_work> histo: I had an iso burned to a USB.  this install brought up grub and I could either run live (without persistence) or install.. i installed to a new USB drive
[00:39] <krazyk_work> histo: I did the full system to the usb
[00:39] <worm> Then try "root (hd1,1)"
[00:40] <mutante> any users of the "planet-venus" package here? (they dont have their own channel and the mailing list did not reply to my questions ... yet)
[00:40] <histo> krazyk_work: you can just burn the iso to usb you need to use startup disk creator
[00:40] <Launch_Director> worm: unknown command root
[00:40] <krazyk_work> histo: now when I boot on a new computer, i get "error no such partition" over and over and afew other errors
[00:41] <histo> krazyk_work: I would check the /etc/fstab on the thumb drive and make sure it's using uuid's
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <graingert> djabbour: yes, slow down time
[00:42] <krazyk_work> histo: pardon my newbishness, but what's the best way to go about setting up the uuid properly in fstab
[00:42] <histo> krazyk_work: so if it's pulling /dev/sda blah blah it needs to be by uuid
[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> krazyk_work: you can sudo blkid   to list them and put those in in place of /dev/xxx
[00:44] <worm> Launch_Director: Seems you are using Grub2 now. try "set root=(hd1,1)
[00:45] <krazyk_work> histo: I lied.. looks like it is using UUID= blah blah
[00:45] <Launch_Director> worm: done now what?
[00:45] <krazyk_work> it's commented out "was on /dev/sdb1 during instalation"

[00:46] <histo> krazyk_work: have you tried to boot on more than one other machien?
[00:46] <Launch_Director> worm: tab doesn't autocomplete to anyhting
[00:46] <krazyk_work> yes.  'm back and forth between 3.. and I've tried in various orders
[00:46] <Launch_Director> worm: and linux is unknown command to :(
[00:47] <histo> krazyk_work: I would reacreate the usb and use startup disk creator this time
[00:47] <histo> !usb | krazyk_work
[00:48] <djabbour_> graingert, got kicked off.. . network issues I suppose. dm raid? What channel is that. Yeah I'm pretty experienced with linux stuffs. :)
[00:49] <histo> djabbour_: that's odd the raid should not be functioning with 2 disks being down.
[00:49] <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.
[00:49] <mutante> when does Skype ever work:p
[00:50] <worm> Launch_Director: Linux is also unknown command? Did you complete the installation?
[00:50] <Launch_Director> worm: yes, it asked me to restart
[00:50] <Launch_Director> worm: it even updated grub from the web
[00:50] <mutante> http://www.osalt.com/skype
[00:51] <mutante> clervis: if you really need the video part, you be better of using Google Hangouts
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, md0 : active raid5 sdn1[8](F) sdm1[2] sdl1[4] sdk[7] sdj[0] sdi[1] sdh1[5] 3417955968 blocks level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/6] [UUU_UU_U]
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, it specifically says "active". sdn1 is Faulty (F)
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, sdn1 is present but faulty... so maybe it's still working somehow?
[00:53] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[00:53] <djabbour_> histo, I thought maybe to attach another USB disk and add it to the failed array just as a stop-gap so it can rebuild the faulty array before I continue... but I'm not sure what's best at this point.

[00:56] <Launch_Director> worm: error: unknown filesystem
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <worm> As if you can list all of the files in Grub rescue, your filesystem should be OK.
[01:00] <worm> Launch_Director: after set prefix, try insmod normal again
[01:00] <Launch_Director> worm: error,no such partition
[01:00] <WeThePeople> hi
[01:01] <worm> Launch_Director: Sorry, it is "set prefix=(hd1,1)/boot/grub"
[01:01] <worm> I forgot to change it to yours...
[01:02] <Launch_Director> worm: now it says unknown filesystem

[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?
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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)
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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.
[01:07] <krumpli> Troy^: I can't either apt-get install vim....
[01:07] <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] <dr_willis> weechat - Fast, light and extensible chat client
[01:08] <Launch_Director> worm: i'm on grub rescue>
[01:08] <worm> Launch_Director: Just count. sda=hd0 sdb=hd1 etc. so sda1=hd0,0 sda2=hd0,1
[01:09] <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...
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <worm> Launch_Director: Change everything to make it suits your computer.
[01:18] <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
[01:20] <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.)
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <worm> Launch_Director: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176986/
[01:23] <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)
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <worm> Launch_Director: as I tried to make it suits every condition
[01:26] <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...
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <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"
[01:29] <worm> Launch_Director: have you seen anything when you typed "(hd1,2)"
[01:30] <Launch_Director> worm: atm nothing other than above
[01:31] <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 :)
[01:32] <daemon> I keep getting './networking restart' is deprecated as a warning when I restart /etc/init.d/networking
[01:32] <daemon> what is the alternative
[01:32] <ace1> hi
[01:33] <ace1> hi
[01:33] <worm> Launch_Director: sorry for that. you might need to ask others for help at that time. I am going to have a English lesson now, as I am still a student.
[01:34] <Launch_Director> worm: thank you very much tough, i'm a student to
[01:35] <zykotick9> daemon: using /etc/init.d is sysv - use upstart instead "sudo service networking restart" you'll still probably get "deprecated" message though
[01:35] <WeThePeople1> hi
[01:35] <daemon> zykotick9, ah
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <FloodBot1> ace1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:38] <daemon> zykotick9, stop: unknown instance:
[01:38] <daemon> networking stop/waiting
[01:39] <ace1> does anybody run pidgin as their irc client?
[01:39] <joint2k> yea
[01:39] <zykotick9> daemon: try tab completion on "sudo service network<TAB-KEY>" perhaps?
[01:40] <daemon> zykotick9, no results
[01:40] <zykotick9> daemon: i gots nothing then.  good luck.
[01:40] <daemon> anyone else have any ideas? :)
[01:40] <dr_willis>  sudo service networking  status
[01:40] <daemon> networking stop/waiting
[01:41] <helpme22> hi
[01:41] <zykotick9> daemon: lol "sudo service networking start"
[01:41] <dr_willis> there ya go..
[01:41] <helpme22> HEIL !
[01:41] <helpme22> is there a utility or a program that will test my firewall? to see if ports are open ?
[01:41] <skpl^> can someone hlp me? my launcher and panel wont appear after i login
[01:41] <daemon> dr_willis, zykotick9 maybe this is going about it the wrong way, I edited /etc/network/interface and changed my wired adpater to a static ip and config, I want the changes to be made immediatly not next reboot
[01:41] <dr_willis> helpme22:  you set some firewall rules?
[01:41] <skpl^> i can get to a terminal though., by pressing alt ctrl t
[01:41] <helpme22> yeah willis
[01:42] <helpme22> i closed all ports except 443
[01:42] <dr_willis> daemon:  I just use the network manager gui tool to set static ip info
[01:42] <amr_> Hello, I try a lot to have gnome 3 on ubuntu 12 but it didn't work correctly any one can trouble shoot this issue with me please ?
[01:42] <matts45acp> can someone tell me if a 32 bit ubuntu will support 4gb of ram
[01:42] <daemon> dr_willis, server automatic configuration script ;)
[01:42] <dr_willis> helpme22:  do you have any actual services running?
[01:42] <bazhang> !pae | matts45acp
[01:42] <bazhang> amr_, it's all gnome 3 on 12.04
[01:43] <amr_> bazhang, I mean 3.4 then
[01:43] <bazhang> amr_, 3.4 from where
[01:44] <ubuntu> whois nick
[01:45] <amr_> bazhang, this one >> http://www.gnome.org/news/2012/03/gnome-3-4-released/
[01:45] <bazhang> amr_, why do you need it
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <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] <matts45acp> gnome or unity? what you guess think?
[01:46] <helpme22> what do you mean do you have an acutal service running ?
[01:46] <helpme22> i want to test my LAN to see which ports are open
[01:46] <bazhang> matts45acp, unity is a shell for gnome
[01:46] <helpme22> from ubuntu to a windows PC for e.g
[01:47] <helpme22> because the firewall rules is outgoing and ingoing
[01:47] <joint2k> i use gnome 3 on ubuntu
[01:48] <amr_> joint2k, I try this but didn't work with me :(
[01:48] <Anom01y> man, is it me or is it impossible to work with SD cards and micro SD cards with Ubuntu ?
[01:48] <Anom01y> they are always read only
[01:48] <doslove> my computer keeps crashing but win7 not
[01:49] <Anom01y> I try formatting the sd card to Fat16,
[01:49] <rihen> how do i increase my ubuntu booting spped
[01:49] <rihen> speed
[01:49] <Anom01y> that works, but, when I try dumping files onto the SD card, or creating a directory, it says cannot write
[01:50] <joint2k> what doesnt work
[01:50] <Anom01y> OK NM I was using Nautilus in XFCE which was giving me the Read only errors,
[01:50] <Anom01y> I just switched to Thunar, and everything is working fine
[01:54] <skpl^> can someone tell me wy i get this error when i try to start unity from the command line?
[01:54] <skpl^> http://pastebin.com/ktsrkuRg
[01:55] <dr_willis> Anom01y:  thats weird.. wouldent think the 2 would be mounting them differntly
[01:56] <dr_willis> helpme22:  you could nmap your machines.. but if its on a home lan. why does it matter between 2 pcs you own.
[01:56] <setuid> Can someone tell me why e1000e works fine and recognizes my NIC under 2.6.38-12, but not under 2.6.32-xx at all, any version?
[01:56] <setuid> The driver itself hasn't changed in a long, long time
[01:56] <helpme22> because i want to test if the firewall doing it's job
[01:57] <setuid> [ 1530.454219] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.0.2-k2
[01:57] <setuid> Loads fine, no errors, just never binds to the NIC, nor exposes it to userland so I can use it
[01:57] <dr_willis> helpme22:  go play with nmap if you want.. but if theres no services listening on any given port.. then its basically closed anyway.
[01:58] <AandhrezCc> aa
[01:58] <setuid> Is there a way to update -just- that one net module in this kernel?
[01:58] <AandhrezCc> Hola
[01:59] <AandhrezCc> Holaa
[02:00] <Anom01y> dr_willis, yeah its strange but true
[02:00] <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.
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <dr_willis> I thought both used .gvfs   but its been a long time sice ive used xfce
[02:04] <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] <dr_willis> rox filer. ;)
[02:04] <Anom01y> rox filer huh
[02:05] <dr_willis> been around for ages. :) sort of neat in some ways.  but it depends on your needs.
[02:05] <dr_willis> used rox + jwm for ages.
[02:06]  * setuid still uses and prefers sawfish
[02:06] <setuid> runs circles around anything else out there today
[02:06] <julio33> Hello, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I wanted to buy a graphic card, but I'm really afraid of that card not working, I was thinking on a GT440.
[02:06] <julio33> Any suggestion?
[02:07] <Gracenotes> Is there some way to access installed/last-updated time for a given package?
[02:07] <Gracenotes> i.e. is it stored
[02:08] <Gracenotes> Or... I don't suppose /var/log/apt/ is my only choice
[02:11] <CheBuzz> Crap, my game is blacked out on WatchESPN!!
[02:12] <CheBuzz> Anybody with a Time Warner or FiOS account willing to help me out??
[02:12] <lidar> hello !!
[02:12] <lidar> CheBuzz, PPPOE isue ?
[02:12] <CheBuzz> No, stupid network area limitation issues
[02:13] <tking> my laptop has webcam, but how do i turn it on without going to skype? like if i need to take a picture?
[02:14] <lidar> tking, try out cheese
[02:14] <WeThePeople1> tking, search for a program in the software center
[02:15] <lidar> WeThePeople1, is WeThePeople your spy?
[02:15] <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
[02:16] <lidar> tking, that was part of the installer only i "think" cheese is just a little program for taking webcam pics of yourself
[02:17] <tking> lidar ok thanks done
[02:18] <tking> does anyone expereince same problem, when i am in dashboard i type "t" it doesnt display  any character rather than "space" or "tab"
[02:18] <tking> like when am trying to search something from lence
[02:19] <tking> i cant type "ate" rather i get "a   t"
[02:19] <tking> sorry i cant type "ate" rather i get "a   e"
[02:22] <lidar> tking, i never noticed and i cant check right now im tied to an inferior OS to run my company aircard
[02:29] <histo> lidar: what kind of aircard is it?
[02:29] <histo> tking: not here
[02:29] <lidar> histo, usb551L from verizon
[02:30] <daemon> hey all is there a telmplate init.d file I can nick from anywhere
[02:30] <daemon> template*
[02:30] <daemon> need it for a perl daemon
[02:30] <histo> lidar: have you just tried using network manager and configure the device?
[02:31] <lidar> histo, yeah it sees it as a wired network card
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <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] <histo> lidar: also found this http://johnmeister.com/old-cs/LINUX/v620-SUSE/VZAccessManagerLinuxInstallationGuide.pdf
[02:35] <histo> lidar: that device on verizons page shows support for linux so i'm not sure why VZW is blocking everyone but corpo users from the info.
[02:35] <lidar> histo, yeah its out there somewhere!
[02:36] <histo> lidar: the other option is a cell modem router that you plug that device into and share it's connection.
[02:37] <lidar> histo, yeah i was gonna stop at vz store and see if there is one that would use my sim card
[02:37] <Mult1tabS> Это русскоязычный сервер ирки ?)
[02:38] <lidar> histo, they are about 250 to buy them out right then i could connect laptop ipod ect. ect. would be nice
[02:38] <lidar> Mult1tabS, can you type english ?
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> Russia language ))
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> no speak english(
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> bb
[02:42] <bkc_> !ru | multipass
[02:43] <bkc_> ooh sorry
[02:44] <multipass> ?
[02:44] <multipass> o lol
[02:45] <xckpd7> can I get some help? I can't ping 8.8.8.8 on my remote Ubuntu box
[02:46] <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
[02:47] <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?
[02:48] <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.
[02:49] <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] <krazyk_work> anyone know how to rename an ext4 partition from windows?
[02:49] <con-man> for reals people, why does flash act all weird and stuff? since installing 12.04 my videos are out of sync with audio or they play at 16x speed... on sites like youtube or xhamster or others... any ideas?  it was fine 11.04
[02:49] <histo> xckpd7: you could try tracepath 8.8.8.8  and you can see where it's failing along the ine
[02:50] <histo> xckpd7: or install traceroute and use that.
[02:50] <histo> con-man: how did you install flash?  I don't experience these issues.
[02:51] <con-man> I didn't. I installed chrome from the repos but flash was not installed by me
[02:51] <joint2k> xhamster.... interesting. whats that?
[02:51] <con-man> it's part of Chrome I believe
[02:52] <daemon> hey all is it possible to untar directly from a http server
[02:52] <daemon> without downloading it first
[02:52] <xckpd7> histo: the traceroute: http://pastie.org/4621510
[02:53] <con-man> histo, I have other issues playing videos, every couple minutes the audio stutters for a second or so and the entire OS locks up for that duration, these are videos played either from my HDD or streamed.
[02:53] <pepperjack> daemon: you could do wget http://host/file.tar | tar xfv -   or something
[02:53] <lidar> histo, im on hold while the guy trys to figure out what linux is
[02:53] <daemon> ah cool thank you pepperjack
[02:54] <razaccour> would it be a good idea to install FGLRX graphics drivers or a bad idea? running 12.04
[02:54] <razaccour> I've had issues with them in the past so not really quite sure
[02:55] <razaccour> last time I installed FGLRX drivers it chopped off the outer edges of my monitor
[02:56] <cogdog> how do I in cmd line (I am using xfce) do thi See that root owns comm, and user group dialout has read/write access to the comm
[02:56] <razaccour> Did I show up during the sleepy time of the channel? haha
[02:57] <cogdog> normally it would be something like    -a -G comm cogdog
[02:57] <cogdog> or something
[02:58] <cogdog> but the group that my user should be in does not exist yet.
[02:58] <histo> lidar: lol
[02:59] <cogdog> for real? 1523 users here and nobody knows what I am talking about?
[03:00] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[03:00] <cogdog> omg
[03:00] <robertzaccour> Would it be a good or bad idea to install the FGLRX graphics drivers?
[03:01] <cogdog> are they blob drivers?
[03:01] <robertzaccour> cogdog: no, they're FGLRX
[03:01] <cogdog> Then I would say why not.
[03:01] <krazyk_work> I have to put casper-rw in a folder instead of root, and it is it's own partition (persistent >4 gb) how can I label it "folder/casper-rw" so that when it is mounted it stays that way, and not get's mounted as "folder_casper-rw"
[03:02] <robertzaccour> can anyone recommend a good native shooter game? multi-player online preferred?
[03:02] <joint2k> quake live
[03:02] <robertzaccour> cogdog: thanks bro. wasn't sure, just had bad experiences with those in the past
[03:03] <Seven_Six_Two> krazyk_work, don't use labels for that. create the "folder" folder, and then modify the entry in your fstab to mount to a subfolder
[03:05] <ruffyen> can anyone point me in the direction of a site that shows how to arrange icons that are on the systray>

[03:10] <histo> lidar: Like I said good luck getting someone that understands. Those tech support people just read from books and give canned responses. It takes awhile to get a person that knows what they are doing.

[03:21] <joint2k> mint is ubuntu...
[03:21] <ashi__> no

[03:23] <zykotick9> joint2k: with your logic, ubuntu is debian.  it's not.
[03:23] <uhgreen> joint2k: Mint isn't Ubuntu unless Ubuntu is Debian.
[03:23] <gogeta1> joint2k: wow you better go recheck your facts
[03:24] <joint2k> ubuntu and debian are different then ubuntu and mint
[03:24] <gogeta1> joint2k: and find me a iso of mint with unity

[03:25] <Loopb4ck> how can I tell if I have sata 2 or 3 on my laptop? is there a command?
[03:25] <sexy> so is that secondlife them self or my system issue?
[03:26] <zykotick9> Loopb4ck: try "lspci | grep -i sata" from terminal

[03:28] <zykotick9> Loopb4ck: are you sure you don't have SATA1?  check the specs of the machine i guess.
[03:28] <zykotick9> ashi__: don't use ubuntu, or "it's not supported" - your choice.
[03:28] <Loopb4ck> it's a pretty new laptop
[03:28] <ashi__> mint
[03:29] <zykotick9> joint2k: see ashi__'s comment above... lol
[03:30] <sartan> Sigh... Whatever ubuntu is doing to low leven networking needs to stop. I'm not able to manage any network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces and udev.d rules are never triggering for my custom ethernet renaming rules. What's going on?
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> where  do igo  for   help on os  detection ^
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> ^
[03:31] <sartan> I've removed network-manager (shudder) and i'm at least able to ifup an interface, but since ubuntu completely ignores udev.d there's no persistent ethernet naming between reboots. i've got 10 ethernet adapters on here and it's pretty darned random
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> ?
[03:31] <sartan> even when i put my own rules there they are completely ignored
[03:33] <pyrrhic> Anyone experienced with virtual box?

[03:50] <gozon> Seven_Six_Two, thanks
[03:50] <crankharder> Seven_Six_Two: i wouldn't know what to change it to and.. how come apt-get didn't do that for me?
[03:51] <crankharder> gist here: https://gist.github.com/3548878
[03:52] <Seven_Six_Two> crankharder, it may have been set based on your location. you can find lists of ntp servers here:http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/north-america

[04:23] <dgrogan> in gnome2, 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?
[04:24] <Gary_inNYC> I see that 12.04.1 is out and available from upgrade.  I have a non PAE laptop (Thinkpad T40).  If I install this upgrade, will it kill my laptop?
[04:29] <Gary_inNYC> Any thoughts what will happen if I install this latest point release on an old laptop that is non PAE?
[04:31] <naildeca> Gary_inNYC I used the update manager to upgrade to 12.04 on my laptop with a celeron M  It upgraded to a non-pae kernal and it works
[04:32] <Gary_inNYC> will it upgrade to non pae kernel automatically?
[04:32] <naildeca> Yes

[04:35] <thomedy> how can i get these floss thingys
[04:37] <JokesOnYou77> thomedy: do you know how to install software in Ubuntu? I'm not a flash dev (I like HTML5) but if it's out there there's a good chance it's in the software center
[04:37] <lcc> hi. I'm getting an error when running alsamixer on xmonad launched from startx: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory. any ideas of how I can resolve this?
[04:38] <JokesOnYou77> lcc: maybe try and run it from terminal with -v and see if it gives you anything else?
[04:39] <lcc> the -v flag doesn't exist.
[04:41] <kanupatar> hi guys, where can I find the mount command implementation in linux
[04:43] <JokesOnYou77> kanupatar: man mount

[04:44] <JokesOnYou77> kanupatar: ahhh...that I don't know :P
[04:45] <JokesOnYou77> lcc: you are indeed correct. This is a bit of a copout, but what about reinstalling alsamixer?
[04:46] <JokesOnYou77>  I swapped a hard drive with Ubuntu 11.10 into a different machine and the LAN prt isn't working.  Can anyone tell me how to load and install the drivers i need?  Maybe from the CD?

[04:53] <dgrogan> JokesOnYou77: I have no idea what the problem is, but the rename line is weird. Also, what do you mean "doesn't work"? What does ifconfig say?  That might give you hints
[04:53] <kanupatar> I am getting this error while mounting , "mount: mounting /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom failed: Invalid argument"  I have given like mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

[05:05] <utv> it has AMD
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <utv> lidar = when i tried to, my computer said the instillation failed
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <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 \
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <cowsquad> ok lidar,
[05:17] <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?
[05:18] <lidar> cowsquad: yeah running unity ... my ram usage is 500mb
[05:18] <AnDsO> need a little help on installing snmpd
[05:19] <lidar> !ask | AnDsO
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <AnDsO> i disabled firewall by disabling ufw
[05:23] <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
[05:24] <cowsquad> that is why i am trying to search on google. it seems like a mess :)
[05:25] <lidar> seems silly
[05:26] <AnDsO> i am getting message starting snmpd but ports  are not opening and also i can see any process running :S

[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 !
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <smw> you can make modifications such as adding a user or allowing login as root
[05:32] <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> RipresaTecn: yeah have to use it for gps data porocessing and my aircard right the minute
[05:33] <RipresaTecn> ahh
[05:33] <JokesOnYou77> Problem solved!  If there's anyone else here who needs to configure a new NIC on a headless system just add a new entry to /etc/network/interfaces  :-)
[05:33] <lidar> im in my inlaws "winter" home the internet is turned off
[05:34] <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
[05:35] <loxety> just installed 12.04 last night, boy has Ubuntu changed since 10.04
[05:36] <RipresaTecn> yes it has.. for the better imho
[05:38] <RipresaTecn> hey is there a way to hide the login and logout messages
[05:38] <unsobill> zzz
[05:40] <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?
[05:41] <lidar> loxety: did you install myunity ?
[05:42] <dwakar> lidar: so you can hide taskbar with myunity?
[05:42] <lidar> loxety: its better than boys town in mexico ;)
[05:42] <loxety> yes
[05:43] <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] <venkatesh_> hi
[05:43] <RipresaTecn> but you just need defaults,noatime
[05:44] <venkatesh_> how to upgrade thunderbird in my ubuntu
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo apt-get update
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:48] <RipresaTecn> that will get you latest prepackaged thunderbird release
[05:52] <lidar> soo how soon will i be able to install ubuntu on my ipod
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <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?
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <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?
[06:01] <RipresaTecn> should david_
[06:02] <david_> k thx
[06:06] <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
[06:07] <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
[06:08] <glassresistor> and for my data/home is XFS or ext4 more setup for doc-movie sized files?
[06:09] <RipresaTecn> not sure on that question sorry
[06:10] <RipresaTecn> wow i just looked it up for my own knowledge and it looks xfs is better for larger files and fragment less
[06:11] <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
[06:12] <glassresistor> really wish zfs had been implemented on linux
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> glassresistor: whats wrong with ext4?
[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.
[06:13] <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
[06:14] <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
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> jivora: you like iptables?
[06:18] <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.
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> jivora: maybe there are other alternatives, what exaclty dummynet does?
[06:19] <newbye> hello all
[06:20] <newbye> ^^
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> newbye: ask your question mate
[06:20] <newbye> could you help me with this error pls ? "ssh /bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:20] <pyrrhic> So dead in here.
[06:20] <jivora> lotuspsychje : It simulates web traffic. Allows me to provide latency , packet drops control upload download etc.. i did a bit of search and Dummynet is something tried and tested
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> jivora: bandwith monitor or packet inspector?
[06:21] <newbye> sorry, when I get the error when I try to connect with ssh
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> !ssh | newbye
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> jivora: you could use wireshark for packet inspection
[06:22] <newbye> thnx ubottu but until yesterday it worked...
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> jivora: or snort for security analyzing
[06:22] <newbye> something is corrupted
[06:23] <jivora> lotuspsychje. I need to control my bandwidth. i am not sure if wireshark or snort will allow me to do that.

[06:30] <somsip1> pyrrhic: a little
[06:31] <hateball> !anyone
[06:31] <jalexandru> Hi, I have ubuntu 12.04, I want to enable mod_rewrite, got error, checked the modules it seems that mod_rewrite is missing from all my modules folders, what can I do?and how?an info/link to tutorial will be appreciated
[06:31] <pyrrhic> somsip: how do i enable vt-x/amd-v
[06:31] <newbye> could you help me with this error pls ? when I try to log in via ssh I get "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:31] <smw> jalexandru, sudo a2enmod rewrite
[06:32] <smw> pyrrhic, that is done in your computer's BIOS
[06:32] <pyrrhic> kk ty brb
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> newbye: type the full command how you try to ssh plz
[06:32] <smw> pyrrhic, it normally is an option that mentions "virtualization"
[06:32] <pyrrhic> gonna go look
[06:32] <jalexandru> smw: that was easy, thank you so much ...
[06:32] <smw> jalexandru, :-)
[06:33] <newbye> I use putty till yesterday and it worked... anyway if I try also to "ssh localhost" it ask for password and then the error..
[06:34] <smw> newbye, what error?
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> newbye: are you sure ssh server is up and running?
[06:34] <newbye> how can I verify it ?
[06:35] <newbye> I made no change to my linux box
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> smw: newbye: when I try to log in via ssh I get "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:35] <smw> newbye, nc localhost 22
[06:35] <glassresistor> im having this issue, i think it has something to do with sata and two harddrives, just installed ubuntu on an ssd with/ and swap on an encrypted lvm and /home on a uncrypted no lvm on an hdd
[06:35] <smw> lotuspsychje, that sounds very very bad
[06:35] <glassresistor> install went fine on reboot says it can't find the operating sytem
[06:35] <pyrrhic> woo.
[06:35] <smw> lotuspsychje, do you have access to the computer?
[06:36] <smw> pyrrhic, success?
[06:36] <newbye> ok I try
[06:36] <pyrrhic> smw, yep
[06:36] <glassresistor> is there something i don't know about getting the mobo to look at the correct hd on boot?
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> smw: its not my issue mate, its for newbye
[06:36] <pyrrhic> smw, changed virtualization to enabled from disabled. lol
[06:36] <smw> ah
[06:36] <smw> pyrrhic, yep
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> glassresistor: did you change bios setting for ssd?
[06:36] <smw> newbye, ls -l /bin/bash
[06:36] <smw> newbye, what happens?
[06:37] <newbye> it is stucked to first command nc
[06:37] <pyrrhic> Thanks, smw.
[06:37] <AnDsO> how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:37] <smw> newbye, did that show anything?
[06:37] <smw> newbye, did it show a line about openssh?'
[06:38] <smw> newbye, it will stay open forever if you let it
[06:38] <newbye> root@ubuntu:~# nc localhost 22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1  Protocol mismatch.
[06:38] <newbye> ah ok
[06:38] <smw> newbye, sweet, exit that terminal and run ls -l /bin/bash
[06:38] <newbye> so that's normal
[06:38] <smw> newbye, before I did not know the error
[06:38] <smw> newbye, yes, perfectly good
[06:39] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> !patience | AnDs0
[06:39] <newbye> smw: root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 916692 2011-05-18 11:54 /bin/bash
[06:39] <smw> newbye, looks good
[06:40] <smw> newbye, so can you tell me the error again?
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> !snmp > lotuspsychje
[06:40] <smw> what happens when you try to ssh?
[06:40] <newbye> smw: "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:40] <smw> !msgthebot > lotuspsychje
[06:40] <AnDsO> ty dude
[06:41] <smw> newbye, not sure then
[06:41] <smw> newbye, /bin/bash obviously exists, did you modify your sshd?
[06:41] <newbye> not at all
[06:41] <somsip> newbye: what user are you logging in as? Or do you not get that far?
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> newbye: firewall or router changed?
[06:42] <newbye> root
[06:42] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:42] <pyrrhic> smw, think i can repair a corrupt ntfs partition with win7 in vbox?
[06:42] <somsip> newbye: usually not allowed by default in /etc/ssh/config.sshd or whatever it's called. Try logging in as a normal user
[06:42] <smw> pyrrhic, the corrupt ntfs partition is actually in vbox?
[06:43] <newbye> well but I log in always as root... so something changed
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | pyrrhic
[06:43] <somsip> newbye: erk. Oh well. Worth a try
[06:43] <smw> lotuspsychje, that only remakes the partition table, right?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> smw: testdisk can do few cool tricks fix mbr and stuff too
[06:44] <smw> lotuspsychje, it has stuff to fsck ntfs?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> smw: lemme check
[06:44] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> AnDs0:stop repeating your question too often mate
[06:45] <pyrrhic> smw, no
[06:45] <newbye> smw: permit root login is set to yes
[06:45] <AnDsO> :)
[06:45] <pyrrhic> smw, i had windows 7 before ubuntu 12.04 ; got rid of it and had a media partition thats NTFS
[06:45] <pyrrhic> trying to repair it.
[06:46] <smw> pyrrhic, wait, so you overwrote your entire disk with linux and want to recover the partition?
[06:46] <newbye> smw: I see this line at the end that sounds strange : "Match User root ChrootDirectory /home/angola/cucm_bkup "
[06:47] <smw> newbye, heh, that is what I was thinking, you have a chroot
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> smw: its got all kinds of interesting repair stuff inside
[06:47] <smw> newbye, but you said you never edited sshd, so I dropped it
[06:48] <smw> lotuspsychje, you may want to council pyrrhic on this. I am not well versed with recovery
[06:48] <glassresistor> lotuspsychje: thats actually whats confusing me
[06:48] <smw> newbye, remove that line, should work then
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <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.\
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <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...
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <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/
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <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
[06:56] <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
[06:57] <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
[06:58] <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
[06:59] <newbye> smw: Paste #222843 by newbye
[06:59] <glassresistor> i've got the shel open updating apt-get ironically
[06:59] <glassresistor> all working just no 2nd hard drive
[06:59] <corsair> which key I've to press to show the GRUB on startup?
[06:59] <hateball> corsair: hold down shift
[07:00] <smw> newbye, url?
[07:00] <corsair> hateball, thanks
[07:00] <goddard> Is less settings a design philosphy for Ubuntu?
[07:00] <newbye> smw: many thanks, removed that line NOW it works !!!!
[07:00] <smw> newbye, sweet
[07:01] <newbye> guys you are GREAT
[07:01] <newbye> see u people ^^
[07:01] <pyrrhic> I have one hard drive
[07:01] <pyrrhic> I have a swap area
[07:01] <pyrrhic> the NTFS media portion and, ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[07:02] <glassresistor> seems like if works but only if i have only one operating system on the computer, oh shit ok its failing to load the hdd then finds the ssd
[07:02] <Dan39> hmm googling is not showing up anything useful about noatime deprecated
[07:02] <glassresistor> sweet
[07:04] <stuxnet120> hello
[07:04] <Andre_designer> hello
[07:04] <somsip> newbye: pyrrhic you tried <shudder> chkdsk /r /f ?
[07:07] <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 ..
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <rajumoh> gordonjcp: who does this unused marking ?
[07:10] <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
[07:11] <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
[07:12] <lidar> some linux commands are like sleeping with hookers sounds like a fun idea .. until you realize what actually happened !
[07:13] <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)
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <lidar> apt-get remove foo.gnome.app .. apt is like ^%$#& lets get rid of all of gnome ! and same with kde :))
[07:17] <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'
[07:19] <rajumoh> somsip, lidar gordonjcp : thanks all , will be a bit carefull with autoremove hence forth ..
[07:19] <rajumoh> down to some googling again :-D
[07:20] <somsip> AnDsO: have you followed the Setting Up... part of this http://askubuntu.com/questions/141564/what-is-snmp-used-for ?
[07:21] <Bahaman> Hi, is there any other good alternative besides Mono for C#?

[07:37] <ariel__> can someone tell me where on earth is the transmission located in the file system
[07:37] <somsip> ariel__: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[07:38] <lidar> ariel__: transmission is in your car not your computer !
[07:38] <LorSamPau_w> =)))
[07:38] <lidar> !which | ariel__
[07:38] <lidar> ooh there is one that needs added to ubottu !
[07:39] <juanito_> can someone tell me how to change the welcome sound on Kubuntu 12.04?
[07:40] <nbubuntu> hi , anyhere can tell me what's the command line to show percentage sign % when moving or copying files ? In command line ?
[07:40] <nbubuntu> like we sudo apt-get update will show % sign
[07:41] <nbubuntu> how to make mv or cp command to show % when copying/moving files
[07:41] <nbubuntu> thank you :_
[07:41] <somsip> nbubuntu: nothing in the man. Is this supported?
[07:41] <nbubuntu> somsip : nope , nothing at man for cp or even mv
[07:42] <somsip> nbubuntu: so why are you asking?
[07:42] <nbubuntu> somsip : man doesn't have = totally impossible ?
[07:48] <juanito_> Does someone know how to change the welcome sound on Kubuntu 12.04?
[07:49] <vhdirk> hi all
[07:50] <juanito_> Hi vhdirk
[07:50] <hateball> juanito_: Head over to #kubuntu :)
[07:50] <juanito_> ok thanks
[07:50] <juanito_> I didnt think about it
[07:51] <kriestof> Hi guys, I need some stuff to convert mp3 to flv and add jpg. Is there some app to do it?
[07:51] <susundbe1g> ffmpeg
[07:52] <susundbe1g> kriestof: google for "ffmpeg convert mp3 to flv" and see what it brings
[07:52] <susundbe1g> oh i googled the wrong direction,
[07:53] <LorSamPau_w> i'd use youtube
[07:59] <vhdirk> hi all
[07:59] <vhdirk> anyone here an apt poweruser?
[07:59] <baizon> vhdirk: just ask you question
[08:00] <luftikuss> vhdirk: Yours was no smart question.
[08:01] <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
[08:03] <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?
[08:04] <luftikuss> vhdirk: "apt pinning" can be done using Synaptic.
[08:06] <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?
[08:07] <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?
[08:08] <ssta> goddard: setting are confusing...you don't need em.  JUst be thankful for the beatiful defaults that you already have! </cynical>
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <nbubuntu> somsip : do you know any program that preserve date on modified file ?
[08:11] <somsip> nbubuntu: in what context?
[08:12] <nbubuntu> somsip : preserve file time line modified
[08:12] <somsip> nbubuntu: are you meaning when you cp or mv or something else?
[08:13] <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 ?
[08:14] <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] <jarco> I figured before :)
[08:14] <nbubuntu> somsip : yep , when I mv file using mv commnd line , the time on modified is preserve but not on cut and paste using gui.But in command line I cant see the % complete
[08:14] <jarco> jrib, I just want to start concky when my system starts
[08:15] <jrib> jarco: well /etc/rc.local will run it as root...
[08:15] <jarco> conky*
[08:15] <jrib> !startup | jarco
[08:15] <jarco> ohw
[08:15] <nbubuntu> somsip : any program which can do the same as this  , window does have this program? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/how-do-i-use-richcopy-for-high-powered-file-copy-and-transfers/1210
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu: sounds like a ripoff of rsync
[08:16] <jrib> nbubuntu: what feature do you want exactly?
[08:16] <jarco> jrib, that explanation seems to be for gnome 3. I am running unity
[08:16] <somsip> nbubuntu: I only use mv for things like that so i can't help
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu: there is grsync as a GUI for it
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> jarco: Unity is a shell for Gnome3
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> jarco: Unity doesn't replace Gnome, it is a shell for it
[08:17] <jrib> jarco: you can run gnome-session-manager in a shell if you want
[08:17] <jrib> jarco: sorry, I meant: gnome-session-properties
[08:17] <jarco> will try
[08:18] <jarco> jrib,  seems to have worked thanks
[08:19] <jarco> ActionParsnip, Thanks. I knew that. I was just looking for the option. But I found it now thanks to jrib. Thanks for the info
[08:19] <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] <rax-> sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade >> /home/autopatch/patch_notes && echo "Patching complete - Checking for Kernel update.." >> /home/autopatch/patch_notes
[08:19] <rax-> # cat /home/autopatch/patch_notes |mail -s "Patch details for `date`" host@email.com
[08:19] <rax-> if grep -i -q linux-image /home/autopatch/patch_notes
[08:19] <rax-> then
[08:19] <FloodBot1> rax-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> rax-: you do know that updates are already logged..?
[08:20] <rax-> hmph
[08:20] <rax-> where?
[08:20] <rax-> I like logging them myself though
[08:21] <rax-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544 for more info
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> rax-: /var/log/dpkg.log
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> rax-: why reinvent the wheel?
[08:21] <rax-> the logging issue doesn't matter really, I just need it to stop moving onto the next line before apt-get has completed
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> rax-: have you asked in #bash  too?
[08:23] <jrib> rax-: I would start by reading /home/autopatch/patch-notes, but yes please use the existing packages for this if you really want it to work.  If you want to just play, it's fine I guess
[08:23] <rax-> yea they tell me to ask in ubuntu support
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> rax-: nice
[08:24] <rax-> jrib: Existing package? You mean the automatically apply security updates one?
[08:24] <jrib> rax-: yes
[08:24] <rax-> Hmm, I don't know if it's configurable in the way I want
[08:25] <Bahaman> Hi, i've searched a bit and couldnt find anything. Does anyone know if i can run C# from the terminal
[08:25] <Bahaman> a simpel hello world
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> rax-: i just ran the 'Patching complete - Checking for Kernel update.'   looks ok to me
[08:25] <somsip> Bahaman: after you compile it, yes
[08:25] <Bahaman> I tried with csc /t:exe hello.cs but couldnt make it work
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> rax-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177371
[08:25] <rax-> ActionParsnip: Yea, I run the whole script (available @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544) and it worked on one system and not on another
[08:25] <Bahaman> somsip: im fairly new, may I ask how i would compile it? :o
[08:26] <somsip> Bahaman: gcc? I have no idea really.
[08:26] <rax-> see the bottom post
[08:26] <Bahaman> what would gcc be?
[08:26] <somsip> !info gcc
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> rax-: the OS makes a file if it needs rebooting, why not just check for the file existing?
[08:27] <rax-> oh
[08:27] <somsip> Bahaman: maybe something else for c++. I'm not the right person to ask
[08:27] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: What exactly are you trying to do?
[08:27] <rax-> I'm pretty new at this, so if you could point me in the right direction I'll check that out
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> rax-: /var/run/reboot-required
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> rax-: why not just reboot after every update, then it covers all bases....
[08:28] <rax-> I was going to try another way of doing it but I don't know if it would make a difference: basically run dist-upgrade with -s then grep for kernel update, if it's there then run dist-upgrade && reboot
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> rax-: good old KISS mentality
[08:28] <Bahaman> gordonjcp: I simply made a C#  hello world in gedit and saved it. now im trying to 'run' it in the terminal
[08:28] <Bahaman> so I can see the output
[08:28] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: ah, I don't know much about c#
[08:28] <somsip> Bahaman: oh C#? Sorry - I was being vague and thinking of C++. Ooops
[08:29] <Bahaman> Oh well
[08:29] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: I think you need to look at mono for that
[08:29] <helpme22> hello
[08:29] <helpme22> HELP ME !!
[08:29] <Bahaman> I was just thinking it would be possible to output simple stuff like that but then again, it's C#.....
[08:29] <somsip> helpme22: just ask your question
[08:29]  * Wizard throws rope at helpme22.
[08:30] <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] <helpme22> someimtes
[08:30] <rax-> ActionParsnip: I'll check out using that file to initiate a reboot but I'm still concerned it'll check before dist-upgrade has completed, so it'll either check before the file is created and miss the reboot or the file is created early and it'll reboot anyway
[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
[08:31] <helpme22> this is the latest version i think with the bug fix
[08:31] <helpme22> 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4~natty1
[08:31] <helpme22> how to install it ?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> rax-: in the script, as it isn't suffixed with an ampersand, the script will be held up til the apt-get command completes
[08:31] <helpme22> this is the one comes with natty. - 1:2.30.3-0ubuntu8
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: try hitting ENTER less
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: natty is also EOL in October, you may want to upgrade soon
[08:32] <helpme22> actionparsnip thank you for your contribution. if you know tell me
[08:32] <gordonjcp> helpme22: upgrade to 12.04 LTS
[08:32] <helpme22> again. thank you! keep your opinion for your self because i'm not going to unity
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: is there a PPA for the newer version
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: you don't have to use Unity
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: a recommendation is not an opinion, lose the attitude
[08:32] <helpme22> i did alot of work on natty and i don't to upgrade. natty is 2011
[08:33] <helpme22> i still use windows XP which was released in 2001
[08:33] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: are you getting anywhere with mono?
[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: how is the support of XP anything here?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases clearly states 'October 2012'
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <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 !
[08:38] <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> he	do 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
[08:39] <gordonjcp> anyone seen Airplane? "Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help"
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <kriestof> Guys I need some gui for avconv or ffmpeg. I'm not able to handle with ccommand line. :)
[08:43] <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.
[08:44] <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 ;-)
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <Bahaman> ThinkT510: I simply exploring C#, so to say :-)
[08:46] <Bahaman> Im*
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <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#?
[08:49] <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
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <ThinkT510> kriestof: making a vid? try openshot
[08:51] <FlowRiser> kriestof: how are you encoding the video ?
[08:52] <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
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <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
[08:55] <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?
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <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] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: then tweat the settings
[08:57] <somsip> !pastebin | rollitup
[08:57] <BebopSteve> vishal: Tell it to show more details while installing something (the ubuntu software center) it might give clues as to what is broken
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <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>
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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

[09:10] <Perry_> hi guys! i need some help
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> Perry_  start with a question
[09:11] <Perry_> Init.d script works when run manually, but not on reboot with ubuntu 12.04 server
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: can you see how I checked with the links from your pastebin?
[09:11] <Perry_> same scripts..same configuration…on ubuntu 9 server works
[09:11] <MonkeyDust> Perry_  there's also a channel #ubuntu-server
[09:11] <Perry_> ok..thank u
[09:11] <rollitup> yes ActionParsnip
[09:12] <rollitup> i am removing it
[09:12] <mshadle> can someone help? i'm getting this "configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables." when trying to compile PHP. i have a compiler and probably all the other possible libraries ever, i've installed everything that's on another machine and it still is being stubborn. i compiled another package just fine. but this one isn't working
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: you can now check yourown in future :)
[09:13] <gluesimon> has anyone already tried http://pecl.php.net/package/trader ?
[09:13] <FlowRiser> mshadle, what compiler are you using ?
[09:13] <[twisti]> hi, when logging in, i get this:
[09:13] <[twisti]> *** /dev/md2 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
[09:13] <[twisti]> *** /dev/md1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
[09:14] <[twisti]> but i rebooted a few times already
[09:14] <[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
[09:15] <[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
[09:16] <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] <ActionParsnip> cesdost: how are you launching the library?
[09:17] <rollitup> executable path /usr/lib/1386-linux-gnu/colord/colord  Package: colord 0.1.16-2 Problem type: crash Title: colord crashed with SIGSEGV in dbus_connection_dispatch()
[09:17] <cesdost> ActionParsnip: I use wine))
[09:17] <cesdost> winetricks directx
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <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?
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <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 ...
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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?
[09:25] <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
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <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
[09:30] <geekgirl> it's not really telling me anything Ptrakk its a bit of info abot the controller
[09:30] <andycc> geekgirl: well, yeah, that bit of info is what we need.
[09:31] <geekgirl> ok so RTL8111/8168B
[09:31] <geekgirl> can i just sudo get-apt ndisgtk
[09:32] <andycc> geekgirl: that's an wired card, I thought you said you needed to set up a wireless adaptor?
[09:32] <geekgirl> i am having to be connected via wire cos if i didnt i could be here
[09:33] <geekgirl> maybe it's just easier if i go into the software center and choose another option:)
[09:33] <andycc> geekgirl: we'll need the info for the wireless card, that's what you need help with
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: try:   sudo modprobe r816
[09:33] <geekgirl> not found AP
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: wait, that's an ethernet controller, not wireless
[09:34] <geekgirl> i know i am telling you guys i have to connect via the ethernet to get here in the first place :)
[09:34] <geekgirl> orry and gurls
[09:34] <blackthund3r> Hi, is #ubuntu-arm where I go to ask about porting ubuntu to a certain ARM-based device?
[09:34] <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
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <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
[09:40] <geekgirl> hehehe soz pastie won;t work
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: once you hit paste, copy the new address in the address bar and paste the URL here
[09:41] <geekgirl> AP are you on skype?
[09:42]  * crimsonmane notes that the button is SUBMIT, not paste
[09:42] <d1rkp1tt> Hi all, anyone here used Fabric for deployments that can give advise?
[09:42] <geekgirl> okay i ran the command line you suggested now how do i paste that info into pastie
[09:42] <d1rkp1tt> advice..
[09:43] <andycc> geekgirl: select it, right click, copy, switch to your browser, paste.
[09:43] <geekgirl> hooray - http://pastie.org/4629052
[09:44] <geekgirl> phew got it. thanks for being patient, first day on ubuntu ever today!
[09:45] <andycc> ...I think that _should_ have been lspci -nn.
[09:45] <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] <geekgirl> i'll try again then :)
[09:46] <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] <andycc> ajnr: looks like it doesn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/790183
[09:46] <crimsonmane> rollitup: do it after, so that both OS are in the boot options
[09:47] <rollitup> so windows xp first ? crimsonmane
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: install xp first, the instaler is lazy. leave unpartitioned space
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> ajnr: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/182607-finger-print-reader.html
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> ajnr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/121693/finger-reader-for-hp-probook6560b-not-recogized
[09:47] <rollitup> ok i hate to have xp but can't help coz i still don't find LMMS powerful and lacks vst support
[09:47] <geekgirl> hows this http://pastie.org/4629147
[09:47] <crimsonmane> rollitup: no
[09:47] <crimsonmane> rollitup: xp second
[09:48] <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] <rollitup> lol
[09:49] <BebopSteve> weird, is it normal for ubuntuforums.org to have no theme?  it's all text in firefox
[09:49] <geekgirl> was that anymore informative?
[09:49] <andycc> geekgirl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> ha
[09:49] <geekgirl> are you telling me to go there andycc? >O
[09:49] <ThinkT510> great minds think alike
[09:50] <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: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/205818
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: don't you think you should get something a bit more fundamental setup, like your wireless connectivity....
[09:52] <geekgirl> yes i am doing that AP, i am reading ab0ut the fix now
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> !info arduino
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: while you read, run:  sudo apt-get install arduino
[09:52] <geekgirl> cool!
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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"?
[09:55] <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?
[09:56] <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?
[09:57] <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...
[09:58] <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
[09:59] <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
[10:00] <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!!
[10:01] <d1rkp1tt> ActionParsnip: What was the tee ?
[10:01] <Hayate> tthat was old
[10:02] <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?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> leftMS: vlc locks the screensaver off, there is an app called caffeine too which can disable the screensaver if certain apps are  running
[10:03] <geekgirl> wicked arduino installed. ActionParsnip here's your hug! :)

[10:05] <geekgirl> i haven;t done the driver yet andy hehehe
[10:05] <leftMS> ActionParsnip : I do not have screensaver or vlc installed. I am running ubuntu 1204 gnome-classic
[10:05] <geekgirl> ah found the solution to moving things around
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> leftMS: the session is irrelevant
[10:06] <andycc> geekgirl: oh! You meant you were working on getting the wireless working.
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> leftMS: caffeine will stop the sleeping :)
[10:06] <geekgirl> i yes andy wireless next instructions a bit vague. i have downloaded the driver but i have to install the packages first yeah
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> <3 coffee
[10:07] <ubuntu057> hello
[10:08] <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.
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <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?
[10:11] <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
[10:12] <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
[10:13] <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
[10:14] <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] <ptrakk> theres a script called macchanger
[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
[10:15] <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] <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> brontosaurusrex : yes i know it
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> ix_: http://dontbubble.us/
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> ix_: here are all the cool features in duckduckgo: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html
[10:16] <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_> ActionParsnip: yeah, thanks, but I already know about it
[10:16] <andycc> ActionParsnip: !bang is pretty much the only reason I use duckduckgo.
[10:16] <SimonM> Is there anyway of getting the automount feature to mount my cdrom at /media/cdrom instead of /media/#disklabel# ?  I want to use Wine and EAC with 4 drives and the dynamic mount points play havoc with it
[10:16] <ix_> andycc: what's !bang?
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <SimonM> I tried it, but it didn't work
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> SimonM  type 2-3 characters, then [tab] to complete
[10:18] <SimonM> ActionParsnip, thanks
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> SimonM: simple stuff ;)
[10:18] <geekgirl> soz can i just show you this: geekgirl@ubuntu:~/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0006.0514.2012$
[10:18] <pozop> ikonia: ok, thanks
[10:19] <SimonM> ActionParsnip: this is the fstab line I used.  /dev/sr3        /media/cd4      auto    udf,iso9660,user,unhide,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500   0      0
[10:19] <pozop> hey thanks for the TAB solution with nicknames
[10:19] <geekgirl> i have followed the steps on here http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized til step 5
[10:19] <Dr_Willis_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55275/how-to-setup-a-cdrom-drive-in-wine
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> SimonM: might want to add the exec option too, so you can run the apps
[10:19] <andycc> geekgirl: so... you're done?
[10:19] <geekgirl> i don;t know andy how can i tell if the driver is installed
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <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?
[10:22] <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
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <geekgirl> c'mon andycc, ActionParsnip hugs
[10:25] <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] <geekgirl> GG dances around smooches for all - you're the best dudes and dudettes
[10:25] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, I'm pretty darned well sure you're wrong
[10:26] <gordonjcp> Dr_Willis_: check what?[3~
[10:26] <TheM4ch1n3> geekgirl: thanks =D
[10:26] <geekgirl> i'll drop back in occassionally to say high. i am building a robot ,,,that;s my new and next challenge
[10:26] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, sorry to argue.
[10:26] <geekgirl> no thankyou@@@
[10:26] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, /dev/sr3 on /media/atomic type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500,uhelper=udisks)
[10:26] <Dr_Willis_> gordonjcp:  got a music cd handy? pop it in and see if it 'mounts' of does gnome use some special method to just make it appear as a data disk
[10:26] <geekgirl> mwah mwah mwah
[10:26] <geekgirl> bai bai
[10:26] <SimonM> everything is mounted apart from low level utilities
[10:26] <GuestTimmy> Hi guys!
[10:26] <jasonz> can anyone tell me how to turn off screen idle password? thanks
[10:27] <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] <GuestTimmy> @jasonz: settings => screensaver & lock
[10:27] <SimonM> dual session will be mounted differently
[10:27] <TheM4ch1n3> ptrakk: yes: export PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
[10:27] <gordonjcp> Dr_Willis_: give me a sec
[10:28] <SimonM> you'll get a data mount and a music mount
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> leftMS: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
[10:28] <gordonjcp> SimonM: music CDs won't mount as ISO9660
[10:28] <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?
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <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 ?
[10:33] <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) ;-)
[10:34] <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
[10:35] <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 ?
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <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
[10:38] <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
[10:39] <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
[10:40] <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!
[10:41] <leftMS> ActionParsnip : ?
[10:41] <andycc> GuestTimmy: funny how the Windows approach to solving problems works on Ubuntu.
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> andycc  idd, reboot = 'the windows trick' :)
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> ls -l /home/willis/.wine/dosdevices/
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> andycc: works on most electrical things :)
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> shows h: as my /dev/sr0 device for wine here.
[10:42] <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] <Dr_Willis_> I cant even get eac.exe to work with wine here. it crashes
[10:43] <SimonM> ActionParsnip, they're Compact discs, not ISO's
[10:43] <GuestTimmy> Thanks for your help guys! Bye!
[10:43] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, try it from the command line
[10:43] <Dr_Willis_> SimonM:  i am.. it still crashes with some unhandled exceptop
[10:43] <Dr_Willis_> excepton
[10:43] <ptrakk> when i set: chromium-browser %s in my xchat url handler it does nothing.
[10:43] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, mine didn't work until ..oh yeah
[10:44] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, you need to register some dll's in the EAC directory
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> ptrakk: try using the absolute path
[10:44] <ptrakk> ok
[10:44] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, regsvr32 sql*
[10:44] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, fix link is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25340#c4
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> ptrakk: i hope you aren't running your IRC client as root, like you were before
[10:45] <ptrakk> nope
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> ptrakk: good :D
[10:45] <SimonM> ActionParsnip, how did you know he was running as root ?
[10:45] <ptrakk> abosolute path worked thanks
[10:45] <ptrakk> yeah how did you know
[10:45] <ptrakk> lol
[10:45] <SimonM> ubottu, is that for me ?
[10:46] <SimonM> heh, ubottu is cool
[10:46] <ptrakk> indeed
[10:46] <Dr_Willis_> ymm.. eac.exe seems to be using lame.exe    ;) at least it seems to be working now..
[10:47] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, I'd do FLAC or ffmpeg/M4a, but that's personal choice
[10:47] <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.
[10:48] <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...
[10:49] <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
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> SimonM  repeat: try jack -Q -R
[10:50] <SimonM> Dr_Willis_, this banter is moving my problem forward beautifully ;-)
[10:51] <SimonM> MonkeyDust, I like that.  no argument, just statement of fact repeated :-)
[10:51] <SimonM> This is Jack, vesrion 3.1.1 no less
[10:51] <SimonM> version even
[10:53] <Dr_Willis_> i think you are looking at teh wrong places for the issue.
[10:53] <Dr_Willis_> bbl
[10:55] <SimonM> yay
[10:55] <SimonM> this looks like it may help
[10:55] <SimonM> http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=70438*70438
[10:55] <BluesKaj> howdy all
[10:56] <nbubuntu> why cp -p have preserve date option while mv doesn't have ?
[10:56] <SimonM> MonkeyDust, does it work with multiple drives ?
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> SimonM  havent tried
[10:58] <SimonM> nbubuntu, http://superuser.com/questions/220202/how-to-mv-a-folder-in-linux-retaining-its-mtime
[11:03] <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.
[11:04] <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.
[11:06] <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.
[11:07] <Kevel> can someone please help me with setting up php and apache?
[11:07] <Kevel> i ran this
[11:07] <SimonM> nbubuntu, return/exit code and script it ?
[11:07] <Kevel> sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql phpmyadmin
[11:07] <nbubuntu> SimonM : guess the only option .... :(
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <nbubuntu> SimonM : i was hoping too , but it takes time
[11:10] <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
[11:11] <SimonM> nbubuntu,  bit of --remove-source-files and lovely jubbly
[11:13] <gabrign> hello
[11:13] <SimonM> nbubuntu, prolly need this too as you'll be left with empty directories (find $SOURCE -type d -empty -prune -exec rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty -p \{\} \;)
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <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 ?
[11:16] <nbubuntu> SimonM : maybe , haven't done that yet though
[11:16] <SimonM> nbubuntu, just researching, I could be talking balls
[11:18] <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.
[11:19] <SimonM> nbubuntu, I'd do rsync personally.  The whole touch etc would be much more time/scripting expensive than rync
[11:20] <nbubuntu> SimonM : yeh , i did that once .Anyhow gtg , thanks a lot for the help ;-)
[11:20] <SimonM> nbubuntu, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/288418/calculating-md5-of-a-file-to-guarantee-integrity
[11:20] <SimonM> they back up what I say (I think) it's the contents of the file, not the timestamp that is comupted with an MD5

[11:24] <SAngeli> Hi, I have a spare Server with x64 CPU, 5Gb of RAM, 2 1.5TB HD and 1 Gbit NIC. I need a NAS and a webserver for running Joomla (for my internal development). I was thinking of choosing Ubuntu server 12.04.1 rather than FreeNas, use Software Raid software for my 2 hd, use iSCSI as protocol being much faster than Samba for making this a NAS server for storing backups. Is this a good choice or would it be easier and bett
[11:24] <SAngeli> er choosing FreeNas, considering that I do not have a lot of experience with Linux?

[11:29] <mdi> Hello, I'm using keepass2 and chromium on ubuntu. From keepass2 it is possible to add a password to the copy-paste memory. When I now try to paste the password in chromium in a password field, this is not possible. I can however paste into the urlbar, then select and mouse-click-paste into the password field
[11:29] <Oranger> SAngeli: What is for you Joomla ?
[11:30] <mdi> is this an keepass2 problem, or chromium?
[11:30] <mdi> and where should I report it.
[11:30] <SAngeli> for testing at home before uploading the work. So,  no production
[11:30] <SAngeli> Oranger, for testing at home before uploading the work. So,  no production
[11:30] <Oranger> SAngeli: So yes you need a web server like Apache for example :)
[11:31] <SAngeli> Oranger, is LAMP (I assum ready to install from Ubuntu server install) what I can choose or not?
[11:31] <SAngeli> or do I have to install individual components?
[11:32] <Dr_Willis_> !lamp
[11:32] <zykotick9> SAngeli: it's even a choice during install on server.
[11:32] <Oranger> SAngeli: No just install LAMP, it will install for you all the components you need
[11:32] <Oranger> Thank you Dr_Willis_ :)
[11:32] <SAngeli> ok
[11:32] <SAngeli> can someone please try to answer to my initial question?
[11:33] <juancabrito> don't know if this is the right place, but if you can help me installing ruby gems in ubuntu i'll be thankful
[11:33] <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.
[11:34] <Dr_Willis_> !info lamp
[11:34] <SAngeli> should I post it again or can you find it? Oranger
[11:34] <zykotick9> Dr_Willis_: lamp is a task, not a package
[11:34] <Oranger> SAngeli: Sorry, i don't have any experience in NAS :/
[11:35] <SAngeli> ok. thank you

[11:38] <Dr_Willis_> use sudo as needed
[11:38] <zykotick9> !sudo
[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 ?
[11:39] <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
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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] <Dr_Willis_> that would make a tall skinny screen here
[11:42] <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

[12:00] <cordoval> the problem is that ubuntu creates a mount tmpfs run which holds pids and stuff that is currently running as processes

[12:03] <Calinou> terminal browsers suck
[12:03] <Calinou> for today's internet
[12:03] <ix_> Calinou: yeah, obviously
[12:03] <Calinou> midori is too simple and lacks many features, too many features
[12:03] <susundbe1g> gabrign: don't know but you cah use 'df -h' to see what disk is low and 'du -shc *' on directory disk space usage

[12:09] <lotuspsychje> !ask | testiiiii
[12:09] <bazhang> testiiiii, ask a real question
[12:09] <testiiiii> well:
[12:09] <testiiiii> if i have a GPG keyring... the keyring is already present in my linux system
[12:09] <neoteric> lotuspsychje: not sure which fixed it, but Iin Composite I turned off 'Detect Refresh Rate' at set to 60fps.  In OpenGL I turned off SyncToVB and got Texture Filter at 'Fast'.   Don't think I changed much else.
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> Obsidian1723  there are plenty tutorials, here's one: http://aplawrence.com/Words2005/2005_05_01.html
[12:09] <testiiiii> and i want to dpkg-buildpackage a deb package , does it include my keyring
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> neoteric: did you also have the mouse pointer every cold boot once? or every boot?
[12:10] <cordoval> any takers?
[12:10] <neoteric> lotuspsycheje: you asking just remnided me of the issue, not crashed for quite a long while.   mine was random, it used to turn into a block when i moved to top of my dual monitor and would then crash after a minute or so
[12:11] <lotuspsychje> neoteric:lemme try those settings tnx
[12:11] <testiiiii>  if i have a GPG keyring... the keyring is already present in my linux system and i want to dpkg-buildpackage a deb package , does it include my keyring
[12:12] <bazhang> testiiiii, what version of ubuntu
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> neoteric: so you got rid of it for good now?
[12:13] <neoteric> lotuspsychje: performance was noticably improved anyhow after I changed the settings, wobbly windows worked really smooth :)
[12:13] <neoteric> lotuspsychje: yeah, not happened in last month or two
[12:14] <lotuspsychje> neoteric: cool! the problem is i cant test it right now cause for me it only hapens 1 time in the morning cold boot
[12:14] <neoteric> lotuspsychje: good luck :)
[12:14] <lotuspsychje> neoteric: but your idea makes already sense to me tnx alot!
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> neoteric: ill keep you informed if it worked out

[12:22] <bkc_> actually, it can :/
[12:23] <bkc_> sure, some programs won't be happy, but as you said, there are workarounds

[12:23] <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.
[12:24] <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 :-(
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: no its a hp printer toolbox to manage your printer, scan and stuff
[12:25] <lotuspsychje> !info hplip | ftruzzi

[12:29] <tristanStrange> hey all. anyone know if vgaswitcheroo works with the catalyst drivers installed on 12.04?
[12:29] <bkc_> tristanStrange: depends
[12:30] <tristanStrange> do you know upon what bkc_ ?
[12:30] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: the hplip only found one of the printers of my lab, I don't find the option to specify a samba connection there :\
[12:30] <bkc_> tristanStrange: whether it has a MUXer or not :)
[12:31] <tristanStrange> i don't see the switch file.
[12:31] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: ah the printer is not attached via usb?
[12:31] <tristanStrange> hmmmm. I'm on a Lenova W500.... where do I find out if i have a MUX?
[12:31] <bkc_> well, what gfx-card is it?
[12:32] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: it is attached via usb in the windows 2003 server, as I said in the question ^^, I'm on linux, the printer in a  windows server
[12:33] <tristanStrange> it's a  ATI RV635 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650]. Running fine with catalyst driver
[12:33] <neoteric> ftruzzi: have you looked at CUPS ? Should be on http://localhost:631/admin/ if you have it running, can search for the printer.
[12:33] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: not sure howto send over samba
[12:33] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: I can send the documents it just dont print, it stays forever in the queue with the name of "Remote Downlevel Document"

[12:42] <Nephelo> Hello I've got a question about my Ubuntu Server 10.04 with smb and an mdadm raid5
[12:42] <neoteric> ftruzzi: of cause you'd like to find a free solution, but if you get really stuck there is also a great bit of software i used to use called TurboPrint, so if you could try that also if your printer is on the list: http://www.turboprint.info/printers_HP.html

[12:43] <ftruzzi> :\
[12:44] <Nephelo> I can access the to smb but after a few minutes the server freezes and doesn't respond any more. Only a reboot helps. Can someone help me?
[12:45] <cdavis> gordonjcp: I have a laptop set up to monitor systems, and I want to configure the display. However, I don't want to sit over at the bookshelf to configure it
[12:47] <neoteric> ftruzzi: apparently the printer is suppored by this driver on the following URL, might be worth a read up: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> does nomodeset always disable compiz?
[12:48] <ftruzzi> neoteric: Yep, I am compilling it , Idk if the driver is the real problem :\
 does nomodeset always disable compiz? - no
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> LorSamPau_w  use tab to complete nicknames
[12:49] <neoteric> ftruzzi: Yeah, good luck.  I had real problems with a Konika printer here at this office, eventually I installed CUPS and managed to get it to work using a driver that wasn't specifically designed for the exact model.
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> LorSamPau_w: so its possible to have compiz effects running on nomodeset boot option?
[12:50] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi:you could try the printer with usb direct on a laptop to check
[12:50] <LorSamPau_w> lotuspsychje, yes, i had the system that didn't load without nomodeset
[12:50] <LorSamPau_w> lotuspsychje, and i used compiz
[12:50] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: Ahh the printer work for other computers in the same network, It just doesn't like me
[12:51] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: lol
[12:52] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: the other computers have same Os as you trying now?
[12:53] <wan26> !virtualbox
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: or any router/firewall block printer send?
[12:54] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: Windows, Ubuntu and Archlinux mainly, there is some random macs too
[12:54] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: the document arrives at the queue in the server
[12:54] <ftruzzi> it Just stuck in a Error
[12:55] <ftruzzi> lotuspsychje: it stuck in an error, the file is called "Remote Downlevel Document" and it stays in the queue until i delete it
[12:55] <lotuspsychje> ftruzzi: thats odd, so sending from another pc from the network doesnt que but print directly?

[13:05] <echo501> Hello
[13:05] <AdvoWork> hi guys. I need to install Ubuntu 6.06 somehow on a server, I have the iso burned, it won't install though, any tips?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> AdvoWork, 6.06 ..are you kidding ?
[13:07] <AdvoWork> BluesKaj, not for anything main, we use current versions, but i have a server from ages and ages ago, its been switched off for years, but now im trying to migrate something off it, so need to install 6.06 on an old server
[13:07] <echo501> I'm having troubles with SSO to my Ubuntu server from an Active Directory LDAP.   It's prompts me for a password.  Any suggestions on where to look for the issue?  Thanks
[13:07] <BluesKaj> !6.06 | AdvoWork
[13:07] <AdvoWork> Blue1, i know this..
[13:07] <sunil_> kaffeine-1.2.2.tar.gz  another one is timevault_0.7.5-1_i386.deb
[13:08] <gordonjcp> cdavis: I'm not sure what you mean about configuring the display
[13:08] <gordonjcp> cdavis: I thought the server was headless?
[13:08] <sunil_> how to install them sir?
[13:08] <echo501> AdvoWork:  Did you make the ISO cd bootable?
[13:09] <AdvoWork> echo501, it tries to install, but after a while it basically shows loads of errors scrolling on the screen, a a gui error showing xorg.conf problem but i cant read it
[13:09] <BluesKaj> AdvoWork, in that case , there mus be some sites wthat still have legacy iso's
[13:10] <BluesKaj> AdvoWork, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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
[13:13] <BluesKaj> AdvoWork, look for the alternate install
[13:13] <BluesKaj> !alternate | AdvoWork
[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?
[13:14] <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/
[13:16] <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?
[13:17] <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?
[13:18] <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
[13:19] <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?
[13:20] <kubanc> lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177794/

[13:21] <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
[13:22] <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
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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?
[13:26] <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:)
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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/
[13:29] <kroonrs> sifogood: What exactly do you mean with your question?
[13:30] <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?
[13:31] <kroonrs> SilvereX: if you "cat /etc/fstab" is the mount point a ntfs file system?
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <SilvereX> kroonrs: So how exactly would I change it?
[13:34] <SilvereX> kroonrs: It says the owner is root.
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <SilvereX> kroonrs: How would I install it?
[13:37] <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: ^
[13:38] <jluc> hello
[13:39] <jluc> how can i know what printer driver is currently installed and used by my printer ?
[13:40] <matt12> hi, how can i read and send sms in ubuntu using my cdma modem?
[13:41] <SilvereX> kroonrs: Already got ntfs-3g. What now?
[13:44] <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.
[13:45] <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...?
[13:46] <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
[13:47] <kroonrs> SilvereX: can you "sudo cat /etc/fstab", or don't you have sudo rights?
[13:47] <matt12> juancabrito: vi ~/.bash_profile
[13:48] <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?
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <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 ?
[13:53] <juancabrito> BluesKaj: 12.04

[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
[14:00] <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] <juancabrito> PATH=$PATH: # $HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[14:01] <krumpli> hi, i am using edubuntu and there is a problem with ltsp booting: I get the message pxe32: tftp open timeout. what is wrong?
[14:01] <jedix> krumpli: you're trying to boot over the network
[14:01] <juancabrito> is it ok if I change to: PATH=$PATH : $HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[14:01] <cfhowlett> JMS32: in order of trouble shooting, hash check is where I'd start...
[14:01] <SimonM> krumpli, is the tftp server running ?
[14:01] <juancabrito> BluesKaj: sorry
[14:01] <jcromartie> how can I tell if VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed in my Ubuntu guest VM
[14:01] <juancabrito> BluesKaj: it was the other way
[14:02] <juancabrito> BluesKaj: is this: PATH=$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 : #$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[14:02] <cfhowlett> !language|noxx
[14:02] <SimonM> jcromartie, file ->preferences
[14:03] <jedix> juancabrito: "export PATH=$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
[14:04] <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?
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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?
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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 ?
[14:13] <Shadow`> !french
[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
[14:14] <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/
[14:15] <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'
[14:16] <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
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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 ;-)
[14:20] <jcromartie> SimonM: yeah I'm just on to installing the prereqs now
[14:20] <SimonM> jcromartie, you progressing ?
[14:20] <SimonM> jcromartie, cool
[14:24] <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?
[14:25] <UpgradeR> aNYone there?
[14:27] <BluesKaj> UpgradeR, probly because the dependencies aren't ready
[14:27] <UpgradeR> but they can be updated using the GUI
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> UpgradeR  yeah, had that here, too, upgraded with the GUI, done...
[14:29] <UpgradeR> but i don't want to use the gui because i want to update several machines via ssh
[14:31] <SimonM> krumpli, just trying to find the install I did a while back
[14:31] <[twisti]> a bunch of my android files dont work in ubuntun lts 12 anymore, they show up in the file system, but when i try to execute them, i get " Cannot run program "/home/twisti/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory.". i understand this is an arch issue, but i cant install i32-libs on lts 12 either. is there anything i can do, or is lts 12 just
[14:31] <[twisti]> not ready to be used by someone doing android development ?
[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?
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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] <Lunar_Lamp> I've just install 12.04, and am having big issues with sound stuttering.  I've tried using the pulseaudio ppa, but that doesn't seem to be working, but I can't even see anything being written to logs...
[14:34] <roSievers> but swich user, and then using LightDM bypasses that :-(
[14:34] <cortexman> how do I get rid of the e-mail icon on the upper-right taskbar in unity.
[14:34] <cortexman> why isn't there an option to do so when you right click on it. is this windows?
[14:34] <SimonM> krumpli, how much of the tftp config have you done ?  is this ground up stuff ?
[14:35] <DarkStar1> Hello is there a standard firewall running on 12.04 on install
[14:35] <DarkStar1> ?
[14:36] <crizis> nope
[14:36] <crizis> well, there is ufw, but not gui client by default
[14:37] <crizis> DarkStar1, search for 'gufw' at software centre for easy ui for it
[14:37] <crizis> DarkStar1, it's http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/screenshots/ this one and really easy
[14:37] <DarkStar1> I want to know if there's one installed and enabled by defualt so I can disable it
[14:38] <crizis> DarkStar1, it's disabled by default
[14:38] <crizis> installed by default, though. but not on. you can check the status with 'sudo ufw status'
[14:38] <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] <DarkStar1> It's an upgrade from 11.10 and I didn't do the upgrade
[14:39] <krumpli> SimonM: this 0.0.0.0:69 thingy was provided by a debian link
[14:40] <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
[14:42] <krumpli> SimonM: I am trying to get the pxelinux.0 file from the local machine and it seems the file is not found
[14:43] <Silence> .
[14:43] <SimonM> krumpli, you're tftping from the local machine to the local machine ?
[14:43] <SimonM> krumpli, so where is your tftp root ?
[14:44] <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 ?
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <krumpli> SimonM: it seems yes
[14:46] <ivan70> hello
[14:46] <krumpli> SimonM: it is a ubuntu software that created this way
[14:46] <ivan70> my friend of mine gave me an audio CD is protected, how do I burn it? ubuntu 12.10
[14:47] <ThinkT510> !12.10 | ivan70
[14:47] <SimonM> krumpli, it may have created it, doesn't mean it configured it :-)
[14:47] <SimonM> krumpli, so you did tftp localhost
[14:47] <krumpli> SimonM: yes
[14:47] <ivan70> 12.04
[14:48] <krumpli> SimonM: and could not get the pxelinux.0
[14:48] <SimonM> krumpli, then get ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
[14:48] <bertie> i´m bertie
[14:49] <bertie> i have a problem, can somebody help? ubuntu just wont boot up..
[14:49] <jcromartie> where do I install things (like an SDK) for my own user account in Ubuntu
[14:49] <Mikato>  hi i wanto to get into folder called parallels tools under bash window so i taping cd parallels tools but i get an error so how do i do it couse i dont remember?
[14:49] <bertie> i deleted a folder called "/home" and now i get bluescreens all the time when trying to boot up
[14:49] <jcromartie> bertie: troll much?
[14:49] <bertie> yes....
[14:50] <krumpli> SimonM: transfer timed out
[14:50] <SimonM> krumpli, ls -la /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
[14:50] <jcromartie> by default
[14:50] <krumpli> SimonM: and there is 509 bytes of pxelinux.0 in my directory
[14:50] <jcromartie> the usual /usr/local doesn't seem to be friendly to user-installed stuff
[14:51] <SimonM> Mikato, tab completion ?
[14:51] <krumpli> SimonM: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177971/
[14:51] <[twisti]> man, fuck ubuntu, seriously. who thought it was a good idea to recommend an update that makes android development impossible ? that didnt struck anyone as a bad idea ?
[14:52] <jcromartie> [twisti]: which update is that?
[14:52] <[twisti]> lts 12, 'precise'
[14:52] <Stava> How do I install Java? Or rather, which runtime should I get?
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> !java
[14:53] <Mikato> ok i found it solution... cd Parallels\ Tools/ :P
[14:53] <jcromartie> Stava: doing this right now :)
[14:53] <jcromartie> Stava: I went with openjdk
[14:54] <SimonM> Mikato, what's wrong with tab completion ?
[14:54] <Stava> jcromartie: It seems to be the easiest approach
[14:54] <Mikato> i dont get it
[14:54] <Mikato> how to use it?
[14:54] <Mikato> the tab completion?
[14:55] <paulus68> what app can you use in order to connect android phones to ubuntu?
[14:56] <SimonM> Mikato, start typing the path ie /home/mi then press tab
[14:57] <Mikato> ok try it
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> paulus68  http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[14:57] <SimonM> Mikato, tab completion means that pressing the tab key will complete the path if there are no other options, you can press the tab key to cycle through mutiple options if there are any
[14:57] <krumpli> SimonM: from an other machine, I only get 31 bytes with get ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> paulus68  also: http://android-install.blogspot.be/2011/05/omg-ubuntu-app-for-android.html
[14:58] <Mikato> ok i got it thank you
[14:58] <roman___> anybody knows some terminal tools to check health of resources list?
[14:58] <SimonM> krumpli, I don't understand.  You get an entire file, or part of a file ?
[14:58] <SimonM> roman___, 'top' ?
[15:00] <delac> any way to get recordmydesktop to use both cores while encoding?
[15:00] <bondj> hello
[15:00] <matt__> hi, can anyone here help me with a broken GUI login?
[15:00] <bondj> im looking for nice apps to rip my audio cds convert them to mp3 and tag them
[15:00] <matt__> or would i be better to post in the forums?
[15:00] <krumpli> SimonM: the original file is 2667 bytes, it seems I only get chunks
[15:01] <bondj> and download covers
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> !ask > matt__
[15:01] <Shinobi> What's the deal with gtk-gnash using loads of cpu? I only have a few webpages open.
[15:01] <krumpli> SimonM: 30 bytes remotely and 500 bytes locally
[15:02] <SimonM> krumpli, are you running tftpd-hpa ?
[15:04] <SimonM> bondj, Monkeydust recommended jack to me earlier
[15:05] <matt__> in ubuntu 12.04 i changed the UID for a user in a new install i did (UID 1000 -> 1027). (I am setting up a network and I heard that the same UIDs on different machines makes things easier). GUI login for that user was then broken. changing it back to 1000 hasn't fixed it. file ownership in /home/[user] doesn't seem to be a problem
[15:05] <SimonM> krumpli, what if you put the file in the root of tftpboot and try again ?
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> bondj  jack -Q -R
[15:07] <krumpli> SimonM: the same from the remote machine: 31 bytes
[15:08] <paulus68> MonkeyDust: is there also a program that allows you to connect your android phone to ubuntu?
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> paulus68  i don't have android myself, just found those links
[15:09] <krumpli> SimonM: the same from local machine, 509 bytes
[15:09] <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] <SimonM> krumpli, what client software are you using to connect ?
[15:10] <krumpli> SimonM: tftp-hpa
[15:13] <SimonM> krumpli, okay I've done some tests
[15:13] <SimonM> krumpli, my config worked using 0.0.0.0 as the ip address
[15:15] <SimonM> krumpli, maybe you need to run the server or tftp client software using strace ?
[15:15] <krumpli> SimonM: ok, I am trying it
[15:15] <SimonM> krumpli, the file I transferred was 4MB and it was fine
[15:15] <krumpli> SimonM: interesting, the local get always times out
[15:16] <SimonM> krumpli, Received 32612636 bytes in 1.1 seconds
[15:17] <W4sp> join #iridium
[15:18] <yaya> .
[15:18] <krumpli> SimonM: I tried with strace, there is a lot of garbage in it
[15:18] <SimonM> krumpli, that's good
[15:18] <SimonM> krumpli, no errors though ?
[15:19] <krumpli> SimonM: the same error: time out
[15:19] <SimonM> strace tftpd-hpa then
[15:19] <SimonM> krumpli, stop the service, run it from the command line and see what the console output is
[15:20] <krumpli> SimonM: in the waiting state, there is plenty of ERESTARTSYS
[15:20] <pyrrhic> Ugh.. corrupt ntfs partitions are such a nightmare.
[15:20] <SimonM> krumpli, I wonder if tftpd-hpa has debug or not
[15:20] <gordonjcp> SimonM: not really
[15:21] <pyrrhic> How to repair a corrupt NTFS partition? GParted can't repair it, neither can testdisk!
[15:22] <SimonM> gordonjcp, oh well, I could hope
[15:22] <SimonM> krumpli, maybe an apt-get purge and reinstall could help
[15:22] <HAMKoot> pyrrhic, ofcourse they can't, use UBcd >> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

[15:25] <Satisfied> anybody have suggestions for setting up a VPN server on ubuntu?
[15:25] <_mak> Hi there!
[15:25] <SimonM> Satisfied, openVPN gets my vote
[15:25] <_mak> There is any tool (or method) to integrate visually the logic workflow with the source code? I mean, in the workflow I have a process 'Verify user credentials', there is a tool that links me this process to the source code that execute it?
[15:26] <pyrrhic> HAMKoot, After I make a live cd for UBCD. Then what?
[15:26] <SimonM> pyrrhic, if windoze can't fix the ntfs partition, you really need to look at third part recovery tools
[15:26] <emine_> salut
[15:26] <emine_> :)
[15:26] <emine_> hi
[15:26] <[twisti]> ubuntu fills me with a hate fuelled rage
[15:26] <pyrrhic> SimonM I am... any suggestions? I currently have a windows 7 VBox
[15:27] <HAMKoot> pyrrhic, read the manual at that page, i don't use ntfs because it is slow
[15:27] <SimonM> pyrrhic, is it just to get back jpg''s or somehting ?
[15:27] <pyrrhic> SimonM, Music and Videos
[15:27] <pyrrhic> HAMKoot can you convert a partititon to another file system... like NTFS to ext4?
[15:28] <HAMKoot> pyrrhic, no.
[15:29] <SimonM> pyrrhic, recuva is well known as is photorec
[15:29] <SimonM> pyrrhic, wiki to the rescue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_recovery_software
[15:30] <HAMKoot> SimonM, i believe photorec is part of UBCD? that iso has plenty of tools.
[15:30] <SimonM> pyrrhic, testdisk too
[15:30] <HAMKoot> testdisk for ntfs ?
[15:30] <SimonM> HAMKoot, I'm sure you're right

[15:38] <deadmund> I'm trying to open a .xlsx document. the file command calls it, "Composite Document File V2 Document, No summary info"  libre-office cannot figure out the encoding.  What is this thing?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> deadmund  better ask in #libreoffice
[15:39] <deadmund> Thanks
[15:40] <k1l_> deadmund: its a microsoft excel file but saved in the newest format. easiest way is to ask the author to save it as excel 97-200 compatible format
[15:41] <deadmund> k1l_: I can't open it using openoffice?
[15:41] <deadmund> *libreoffice
[15:41] <k1l_> deadmund: it should open, but often the theme is missarranged.
[15:42] <deadmund> k1l_: It does not open at all!  Perhaps I need a newer version of libre-office.  I have only 3.5
[15:42] <k1l_> but depends on the things inside the excel
[15:42] <deadmund> I put google docs can open it
[15:43] <siavoshkc> the things that should not be
[15:45] <deadmund> Urrrggh.  Google docs can't open it.  This is ridiculous.
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> deadmund  the format may be too new for anything other than excell
[15:46] <deadmund> how I loathe Microsoft right now.

[16:06] <MB_wrk> Hello. On a server OS, is there anyway to apply kernel patches without restarting? I know there is ksplice, but that only is for Ubuntu Desktop, correct?
[16:07] <sprezzatura> is it possible to update BIOS using a script without requiring a restart/reboot?
[16:07] <thor__> hi
[16:08] <ikonia> sprezzatura: no
[16:08] <Guest1100101> iceroot, ubottu: the partner repo is enabled, but still it conflicts...
[16:08] <sprezzatura> ikonia: just a plain no?
[16:08] <MB_wrk> sprezzatura, yep. Just no.
[16:08] <tagrape> gaurav__, Use the live CD to look at the install and make sure all the confs needed like grub were installed
[16:08] <ikonia> sprezzatura: updating hte bios from linux is unlikely to work for most vendors 2.) updating a component that requires a reboot to re-load without rebooting = "no"
[16:08] <thor__> guys I need to create a booteable usb with win xp to install it on a netbook, how can i do this from ubuntu 12.04?
[16:09] <sprezzatura> ikonia: MB_wrk: so nothing like PowerShell(which exists for Windows), exists for Linux
[16:09] <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> sprezzatura: and nothing will change the fact that that bios needs a reboot to reload
[16:09] <sprezzatura> ikonia: ok.
[16:09] <Fyodorovna> sprezzatura, your lucky in that many bios can be updated with a gui in windows.
[16:10] <ikonia> tagrape: you don't mount folders
[16:10] <Fyodorovna> which reboots
[16:10] <MB_wrk> Fyodorovna, um this is an ubuntu channel. why would you bring up windows?
[16:10] <sprezzatura> Fyodorovna: i dont need it for windows. just wanted to know whether anything works in linux. and if yes, HOW it works :)
[16:10] <tagrape> ikonia, ok that's what I figured. How can I accomplish what I'm looking to do? Is there a way?
[16:10] <ikonia> tagrape: what are you actually looking to do ?
[16:10] <sss> !list
[16:10] <ikonia> tagrape: (can you give me an example to help make it clear)
[16:11] <MB_wrk> sprezzatura, any system which allows for live BIOS updates would be cutting edge research only.
[16:11] <tagrape> ikonia, I'd like to mount or 'point' the directories on the external to folders on the local drive. That that way I can share the local directory out instead of the dirs on the external.
[16:12] <ikonia> tagrape: can you give me an example /
[16:12] <Fyodorovna> MB_wrk, read the channel.
[16:13] <DocH> I'm going to attempt to build a computer for the first time and I'm doing some research before buying any parts to try to buy components as "linux friendly" as possible.  Is there an "official" list that could help guide me when i'm trying to make a decision on a motherboard (chipset support) or video drivers, etc.?
[16:13] <cesar> cesar
[16:13] <MB_wrk> Fyodorovna, what? Official Ubuntu Support Channel ?
[16:13] <ikonia> !hcl | DocH
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> sprezzatura  is this link useful? http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
[16:14] <tagrape> ikonia, dir on external drive called 'videos'. I'd like to point a local dir on the server to this directory. (dev/sdb1 /media/video = xvideos on /media/tagrape/vids on server)
[16:14] <DocH> thank you very much ikonia! :)
[16:14] <sprezzatura> MonkeyDust: lemme read.
[16:14] <RubyRedGirl> basic sys admin question: I know I can connect to my local server at http://localhost:4000.  Say I want to access this URL faster, by just typing in "4".  How would I go about doing this?  I don't think it's in /etc/hosts-whatever?
[16:15] <sss> !list
[16:15] <sprezzatura> MonkeyDust: too tedious!
[16:15] <ikonia> tagrape: you'd probably need to symlink, but why don't you just point at /meda/tagrape/vids instead of /media/vids - what's the benifit
[16:15] <sprezzatura> i guess , i will pass
[16:16] <tagrape> ikonia, I don't want to move the data that's on the external on /dev/sdb1. That's why I want to point directories on the local drive to the external drive dirs.
[16:16] <ikonia> tagrape: you don't have to move the data - just point at /media/tagrape/vids - why do you want to link /media/tagrape/vids to /media/vids ? what benifit is that giving you ?
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> sprezzatura  there's also this http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot
[16:17] <tagrape> ikonia, ok I guess my next question is what do you mean 'link' ?
[16:17] <wilee-nilee> MB_wrk, The user wanted a bios update, without rebooting as suggested by a MOD, this was not possible and not done with success with linux in general, I suggested using the windows guis available in many bios to do it. That is not a windows recommendation per say, and why do you care anyway.
[16:17] <ikonia> tagrape: why do you want to do this ? what is the benifit
[16:18] <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 ?
[16:19] <sprezzatura> MonkeyDust: another one - ipmitool
[16:20] <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.
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <WarOfTheNerd> MB_wrk, mini Windows CDs and/or DOS floppies are provided for that reason
[16:23] <WarOfTheNerd> Also I've flashed the BIOS without rebooting before in Windows
[16:23] <MB_wrk> WarOfTheNerd, provided by Ubuntu? Provided by whom? And that depends on the specific hardware. Again with the assumptions.
[16:24] <Guest1100101> iceroot, ubottu: found the problem: xorg-edgers ppa messed up packages during ubuntu upgrade, reverting ia32-libs to default lucid version solved the problem - thanx
[16:24] <Kartagis> !find nslookup
[16:24] <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.
[16:25] <MB_wrk> Sorry, I was assuming you meant distributed with the actual component.
[16:25] <Adie> WarOfTheNerd, lots of vendors have the only option as an in-windows flashing utility
[16:25] <ikonia> guys can we dump the bios talk
[16:25] <ikonia> it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:25] <alci> anyone has an idea whether Ubuntu software center payment system is up ? Was going to buy sacred-gold, but USC cannot connect ?...
[16:25] <WarOfTheNerd> alci, keep refreshing
[16:26] <WarOfTheNerd> alci, I have had SSL fail a few times before getting a success
[16:27] <MB_wrk> ikonia, yep!
[16:27] <alci> @WarOfTheNerd: server under heavy load ? (seems promising for Canonical then :-)
[16:28] <WarOfTheNerd> alci, in my experience it has been recently because of the Humble Indie Bundle
[16:28] <MB_wrk> Is there a ksplice or ksplice alternative for Ubuntu Server?
[16:29] <wrapids> I'm trying to use my logitech g930 with ubuntu 12.04. The keys (volume control and such) are registering with the machine, and I've found a lot of success stories about pepole getting it to work. I'm simply not getting any sound though.
[16:29] <alci> @WarOfTheNerd: ok, I'll keep trying, but giving my CC number again and again with an obscure technical failure makes me quit nervous...
[16:29] <WarOfTheNerd> alci, check the subscriptions on your account after
[16:30] <wrapids> aplay -l lists the headset, ubuntu sound manager picks up the headset and model as well.
[16:30] <daniel_c> can naybody help me, I just installed ubuntu an my laptop heats too much
[16:31] <user82> what did i install here.....? http://screencloud.net/v/bRut
[16:31] <user82> it just changed...
[16:32] <sp4rc> guys, ubuntu 12.04.1 lts with all update keeps bugging me with: udevd[426]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v00008086d0000A001sv000015D9sd0000060Abc03sc00i00'
[16:32] <WarOfTheNerd> alci, https://software-center.ubuntu.com/subscriptions/ <-- see if it appears there before putting in CC number again =]
[16:32] <sp4rc> any input on this?
[16:33] <daniel_c> no one?
[16:34] <MB_wrk> daniel_c, I don't know. Have you tried googling ubuntu + laptop + heat?
[16:34] <daniel_c> good idea
[16:34] <alci> @WarOfTheNerd: not in my subscriptions, fine.But I did hit "try again" button a hundred time, and it fails consistantly. I guess I'll try again another day.
[16:34] <Krenair> Can someone please help me find a Wine 1.5.9 package for Ubuntu 12.04?
[16:34] <HAMKoot> !lmsensors > daniel_c
[16:34] <user82> Krenair specifically this version?
[16:34] <Krenair> Yes, specifically 1.5.9 instead of 1.5.11
[16:35] <wrapids> <- its because I'm a tard.
[16:35] <Krenair> I have the source of it from Git but unfortunately cannot compile it
[16:37] <HAMKoot> Krenair, build wine 1.5.9 yourself, it is not available yet >> http://www.winehq.org/news/2012071701
[16:37] <vn> is eSATA hot plug on Ubuntu live CD?
 I have the source of it from Git but unfortunately cannot compile it

[16:39] <mysterious> hi, does anybody know where to get jaunty armel repositories?
[16:39] <daniel_c> that is my current temperature
[16:40] <HAMKoot> mysterious, they are out of date, and mostely removed. see "old-releases" part >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[16:41] <HAMKoot> daniel_c, sounds not bad.
[16:42] <daniel_c> yes but the fan is making a lot of noise
[16:42] <MB_wrk> daniel_c, yeah. better the fan makes lots of noise at that temp than no noise
[16:43] <daniel_c> do you know any solutions to slow down my cpu I have an AMD
[16:44] <mysterious> HAM_Koot, isn't there any archive? I am not sure if i can upgrade a phone using this old version
[16:44] <HAMKoot> mysterious, jaunty is EOL, end of life.
[16:45] <mysterious> sigh, perhaps someone is having a private repo :/
[16:45] <HAMKoot> mysterious, if you can fix the repo's with "old-releases" maybe you can update, little chance.
[16:46] <daniel_c> I will try to install all my drivers than will come with an answer here
[16:46] <mysterious> HAM_Koot, ok thanks i'll try
[16:46] <user82> so anybody seen this before.....? http://screencloud.net/v/bRut
[16:46] <daniel_c> also I found this useful information http://askubuntu.com/questions/61911/ubuntu-noisier-than-windows-7
[16:46] <sp4rc> anyone?
[16:48] <MB_wrk> sp4rc, don't say anyone. just ask again. though don't ask too often, once an hour is fine.
[16:48] <hoetblack> hi there
 did you try googling it?
[16:49] <sp4rc> daniel_c: thx for replying, yes i did without luck...
[16:51] <daze> is there a known fix for when following a Nvidia driver update the screen does not come back after sleep? I can switch to console with ctr+alt+f1,f2, etc., but f7 does not work. Pressing cltr+alt+backspace restarts the f7 console and it comes up again.
[16:51] <daze> I assume it has something to do with X11
[16:52] <Filipek> sp4rc, does that machine work on other operating systems?
[16:52] <Filipek> it seems that some of your PCI cards have problems...
[16:52] <Filipek> what do you have in PCI slots?
[16:53] <sp4rc> Filipek: hm there is only one additional card ==> "01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)"
[16:55] <paulus68> is there a program available to connect android phones with usb to ubuntu pc
[16:57] <Filipek> sp4rc, if possible - please try to remove it first and boot up your machine ... if that is removable ...
[16:57] <Filipek> this device seems like to be part of board, or is it really PCI?
[16:57] <benhem> hi all...I am having a mysterious issue in Lucid 10.04 -- my shutdown/logout panel button is greyed out on boot, but works if I remove it and replace it.  More bothersome, after boot, which is fast, my desktop and desktop items appear but I can't do anything for two minutes or so.  After those two minutes, my top and bottom panels appear, and after 30 more seconds, it's receiving usb mouse/keyboard information, and after another minute or so, I can get
[16:57] <benhem> then it seems to run at normal speed
[16:57] <Filipek> paulus68, why do you need program for that?
[16:58] <Filipek> I use Google Nexus and Android 4.1.1 without problems on that...
[16:58] <sp4rc> Filipek: ok, i'll give that a try
[16:58] <paulus68> Filipek: well want to synchronise my android with ubuntu applications for that
[16:58] <paulus68> at the moment not reconized by ubuntu
[16:58] <Mini_Evo> Question: which desktop environment is faster, MATE or XFCE ???
[16:59] <Filipek> paulus68, hmm... weird - could you go into Dev. options in your Android and check the "USB debugging"?
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> Mini_Evo  answer: try both and decide
[17:00] <paulus68> Filipek: and on top of that I am searching to get it upgraded to 2.3 but for my phone model it's gonna be a nightly build :( already on
[17:00] <Kenpachi7996> paulus68, when connected the android device shows the usb icon in the bar correct?
[17:01] <lotuspsychje> is it possible to colortail -f multiple logs in realtime?
[17:01] <paulus68> Kenpachi7996: correct
[17:01] <Filipek> paulus68, hmm it is very weird...
[17:01] <Kenpachi7996> paulus68, if you drag the bar down and hit the usb notification what mode it it in?
[17:02] <luftikuss> [gnome-power-statistics] I'd like and need to change the value  Laptop battery > Details > 'Energy when discharged' from '0,0 Wh' to '1,5 Wh'. In what file do I need to change that?
[17:02] <Filipek> paulus68, I would suggest then to try android app called "Airdroid" - very nice app to administer and cooperate with android and you can use that from web browser...
[17:02] <paulus68> Kenpachi7996: at the moment it's on USB debugging
[17:03] <Filipek> paulus68, you only have to be on the same subnet with that phone ... just check that out - maybe that helps
[17:03] <paulus68> Filipek: is it in the repositories?
[17:03] <paulus68> Filipek: or in the market
[17:03] <lotuspsychje> is there a log for compiz boot settings somewhere?
[17:04] <Filipek> paulus68, no, it is android app... it is on Google Play and is free of charge...
[17:04] <Filipek> paulus68, yes, on the market if you will
[17:05] <paulus68> Filipek: ok do you know a way to install 2.3 on a acer liquid e ferrari special edition?
[17:06] <Filipek> paulus68, Android 2.3 on laptop? why?
[17:06] <paulus68> Filipek: no on my phone
[17:06] <ma> #nx
[17:07] <Kenpachi7996> Filipek, that is an awesome recommend! I have not seen that app yet.  However, I have never seen the usb mode show as usb debugging, i have only seen that i the settings menus
[17:07] <Filipek> paulus68, "acer liquid e ferrari" - that is phone? :-) I probably just answered whether I know :-)
[17:08] <Kenpachi7996> I was thinking that paulus may have had her usb mode set to charge only preventing it from seeing it as a device
[17:08] <Filipek> Kenpachi7996, usually when you want to connect your android mass storage mode to Ubuntu (at least for me) I had to enable the "Development mode) and "USB debugging" in it
[17:08] <paulus68> Filipek: it's a phone
[17:09] <Filipek> paulus68, hang on a minute - will take a look at it ...
[17:10] <mark06> urgent help please, I update manager was downloading hundreds of MB of updates when I renamed local connection which made internet to reboot, that confused update system completely. I deleted some locks indicated by apt and ran install of dpkg. That made apt-get update run at least. However update manager now says my system is up-to-date! How to fix it?
[17:10] <mark06> s/please, I/please ,
[17:12] <Filipek> paulus68, this is probably not what you wanted to see but there is always a chance with android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721885
[17:12] <Filipek> paulus68, I personally put custom ROM on every of my devices (android) one since it is always more fluid and smoother
[17:12] <mark06> I also run dpkg --configure -a as it told me to, fwiw
[17:13] <paulus68> Filipek: understood but how do I achieve this would love to have 2.3 or higher on my phone
[17:13] <Kenpachi7996> Second on Filipek, I run CM9 on mine way better than SBF
[17:13] <benhem> don't want to spam or repost, but can anyone point me toward answers re: boot hang and greyed out shutdown button?
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> mark06, yoour description is missing some details but try this. sudo apt-get -f install
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> your*
[17:15] <paulus68> Filipek: and how do you install the custom roms through ubuntu pc?
[17:16] <Filipek> paulus68, I had Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus - for the first, there is one SW called Heimdall and for the latter there is GNEx root kit for Linux and Mac OS
[17:16] <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> hey guys, I'm having an issue here.
[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
[17:17] <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?
[17:18] <benhem> the other issue is that my shutdown/logout button is greyed out in the panel
[17:18] <benhem> marcappuccino: I would like to use your method to show what's actually happening behind the scenes during startup, if possible
[17:18] <paulus68> Filipek: I have an image however I don't know how to install it
[17:19] <marcappuccino> benhem hang on I will put it in a pastebin for you
[17:19] <diego-ch> inf3kt3d: no, and it was running just firefox and empathy... nothing more than that
[17:19] <benhem> k
[17:19] <marcappuccino> benhem http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178224/
[17:19] <benhem> thanks!
[17:19] <marcappuccino> np
[17:20] <diego-ch> inf3kt3d: this is the third time (or maybe more) that I notice this
[17:21] <marcappuccino> BTW,, does anybody know anything about 'Watchdog'? I saw it in my shutdown logs and it was telling me my kernel had an overflow and my cpu0 had locked up...
[17:21] <inf3kt3d> diego-ch: maybe you have sleep/shut-down set for 20 minutes?
[17:21] <marcappuccino> !watchdog
[17:21] <marcappuccino> where is ubottu?
[17:21] <marcappuccino> !ubottu
[17:21] <wN> thank god he's gone
[17:21] <wN> ugh he's back
[17:21] <wN> hehe
[17:21] <marcappuccino> lol
[17:21] <marcappuccino> !watchdog
[17:21] <Filipek> paulus68, the forum I have sent link it is the only source of information I may recommend - try to take a look there
[17:22] <Filipek> paulus68, maybe there will some hint what to do with this type of device
[17:22] <mark06> does something look wrong here? http://pastie.org/pastes/4640641/text
[17:22] <diego-ch> inf3kt3d: I already checked the power settings, it's set to "Don't suspend".
[17:22] <benhem> marcappuccino: about to try this, just want to confirm that you know I'm in Lucid
[17:22] <Filipek> paulus68, better look for Android 4+ rather... 2.3 is history... but you know better what is possible and what is not
[17:22] <paulus68> Filipek: where is that link please
[17:23] <benhem> hopefully a non-issue.  down the hatch!
[17:23] <inf3kt3d> diego-ch: OS? laptop brand?
[17:23] <paulus68> Filipek: first trying to get android 2.3 installed and then see if it's able to handle the 4.0
[17:24] <diego-ch> inf3kt3d: macbook 2,1. ubuntu 12.04 x86 running in efi mode
[17:24] <SimonM> anyone know what the status of the mvsas drivers are in Kernel dev ?

[17:24] <lullabud> trying to install ubuntu 12 on an hp pavilion dm4 and right after selecting any option from the boot menu the screen goes blank (turns off).  is there a boot string i can use to alter the graphics settings during install?
[17:25] <SimonM> anyone know much about hybridgraphics ?
[17:25] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset > lullabud
[17:26] <SimonM> my scren blanks at boot unless I use acpi=off :-(
[17:26] <HAMKoot> SimonM, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics for info
[17:26] <BluesKaj> SimonM, do you mean the optimus
[17:26] <diego-ch> inf3kt3d: cpu temperature is around 60C, but I dont think that its overheating. I always had this temps here.
[17:27] <lullabud> wilee-nilee: hey, that looks like it's working.  i was trying to grok that setting and must have gotten it wrong.  thanks.
[17:27] <SimonM> HAMKoot, I did look at it, but it didn't mention anything about changing boot time acpi settings
[17:27] <SimonM> BluesKaj, Yeah, Vostro 3750
[17:27] <inf3kt3d> diego-ch: no thats def not overheating
[17:27] <HAMKoot> SimonM, then you would want bimblebee, on that same page
[17:27] <wilee-nilee> lullabud, It works on a reboot from the install as well, when you install be plugged to the net and and tick the updates box in the install gui.
[17:28] <SimonM> HAMKoot, I did install Bumblebee, still no joy on the booting though unless I do acpi=off
[17:28] <HAMKoot> SimonM, there is a #bumblebee channel here on freenode too, those guys are up2date
[17:28] <SimonM> HAMKoot, cool, I'll check out that channel
[17:28] <BluesKaj> SimonM, as HAMKoot says , take alook at bumblebee
[17:28] <SimonM> I have bumblebee installed
[17:28] <benhem> marcappuccino: fixed!  thank you so much!
[17:29] <SimonM> I have no idea why it would cause a blank screen at bootup though
[17:29] <acioname> i have a problem.i have nvidia gpu driver installed i can boot to the os for the first time but if i reboot again it wont let me to execute the startx command ..
[17:29] <benhem> marcappuccino: didn't think it would work since command lightdm wasn't found, and that grep line DID show something...and it all hung completely requiring manual restart when I did show-splash
[17:29] <benhem> marcappuccino: but it is now all fixed
[17:29] <CharlieSu> Anyone familiar w/ using a Preseed file?  I'm doing this at the end of my preseed file and Chef gets installed correctly, but I'm not getting the 'integrity.serial' file saving.  Any ideas why?  https://gist.github.com/8b93792b59a62814ebd5
[17:30] <SimonM> #bumblebee is one dead channel by the looks of it
[17:32] <acioname> i have a problem.i have nvidia gpu driver installed i can boot to the os for the first time but if i reboot again it wont let me to execute the startx command .. it gives me this output:using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf failed to load module nvidia
[17:33] <paulus68> Filipek: can you sent me over the link please
[17:33] <trism> CharlieSu: only a guess, maybe you don't have a shell for the in-target commands, maybe try cp instead?
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> acioname, Is this driver from the repos or nividia?
[17:34] <acioname> wlle-nille:nvidia
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> acioname, there is your answer never install those use the repos.
[17:35] <luftikuss> [gnome-power-statistics] I'd like and need to change the value  Laptop battery > Details > 'Energy when discharged' from '0,0 Wh' to '1,5 Wh'. In what file do I need to change that?
[17:35] <CharlieSu> trism: good idea..  so you think it is the pipe?
[17:35] <BluesKaj> acioname, before startx , do sudo nvidia-xconfig
[17:35] <acioname> wille-nille:i noticed that if i install a program from terminal with apt-get command it brings me something for nvidia-module failed
[17:35] <k1l_> BluesKaj: no starty
[17:35] <acioname> wille-nille:then if i reboot then i cant go into the os
[17:36] <k1l_> BluesKaj: sudo start lightdm
[17:36] <wilee-nilee> acioname, I can't really help beyond this. I have never had to load a nividia driver, I only know to stay away from there downloads is all.
[17:36] <acioname> BluesKaj:the nvidia ask me if i want to do nvidia-xconfig automatically
[17:36] <BluesKaj> lightdm may not start k1l_ ..I had that problem
[17:37] <HAMKoot> luftikuss, i am not sure, but ithink  /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf  >>>  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/laptop-mode.conf.8.html
[17:37] <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.

[18:04] <acioname> BlueKaj:there is

[18:10] <yshavit> Hello, I'm upgrading from 10.10 to 12.04, via 11.04 and 11.10. The 11.04 -> 11.10 upgrade failed with about 5 minutes left, I think because of odbc-postgresql. Now (on my mostly-installed 11.10), odbc-postgresql fails when I do anything with it: reinstall, uninstall, complete uninstall. Any ideas how I can try to recover?
[18:10] <tdn> acioname, this is what I did?
[18:10] <tdn> acioname, and it returned 220 lines. As I wrote above.
[18:10] <goddard> Is less settings a design philosphy for Ubuntu?
[18:10] <goddard> when i say settings I mean gui configuration options
[18:10] <tdn> acioname, wc -l counts lines.
[18:10] <yshavit> here's the failure I'm getting: http://pastebin.com/96XTx3Uf (this is for an attempt to reinstall)
[18:10] <tdn> acioname, so the list returned is large, if 220 lines is large.
[18:11] <acioname> tdn : ok
[18:11] <tdn> acioname, if you want the complete list it is here: http://paste.adora.dk/P2509.html

[18:14] <user82> asking once again, where does this come from. has anyone seen it before? http://screencloud.net/v/bRut
[18:14] <BluesKaj> acioname, try the jockey alt+f2 . for the recommended nvidia driver , that driver is very old
[18:14] <BluesKaj> your driver is old I mean
[18:14] <BluesKaj> acioname,^
[18:14] <acioname> BlueKaJ:very old? i download it from nvidia website like 2 days ago
[18:14] <BluesKaj> acioname, well, that's not the one to use
[18:14] <acioname> BlueKaJ:and i tried jockey
[18:15] <acioname> BlueKaj:the output was like failed archives if i remember well
[18:15] <xangua> user82: seems like the edubuntu logo
[18:15] <BluesKaj> , check my post above , and my nick is BluesKaj , not what you're typing , us rthe tab key like Imentioned above
[18:15] <user82> xangua that might be the missing hint. thank you

[18:16] <Bitz> hi everyone
[18:17] <Bitz> can dlna (serviio) kill my ubuntu so bad that it would stuck during startup?
[18:17] <BluesKaj> acioname, then you need to enable the canonival partners repository in the package manager to receive the proper drivers etc for your OS
[18:17] <BluesKaj> canonical
[18:17] <acioname> tdb:give me the output of lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[18:17] <acioname> tdn: lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[18:18] <hp_> hello world.....xoxox
[18:19] <Bitz> so can anyone help me with dlna?
[18:20] <BluesKaj> tdn, open a terminal , sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel
[18:20] <acioname> BlueKaj:the repos are enabled and i did the jockey-gtk and nothing
[18:20] <soman> >>> Can I enter URL in OpenFIle dir to easily upload file to some resource from other resource as in WIndows?
[18:20] <theophor> hello. testing. i'm brand new
[18:20] <tdn> acioname, http://paste.adora.dk/P2511.html
[18:20] <acioname> BlueKaJ; i ll say that if i knew the name of the driver..
[18:20] <islandmonkey> Hmm, anyone know why Chrome would dramatically slow Unity performance? Intel Core i7 quad core 8GB RAM NVIDIA GT540M
[18:21] <BluesKaj> acin take a look at my nick
[18:21] <tdn> BluesKaj, did that. However, lsmod said that is was already loaded: snd_hda_intel          33773  7
[18:21] <BluesKaj> acioname,^
[18:21] <BluesKaj> tdn, then you need to setup phonon and probly pulseaudio
[18:22] <tdn> BluesKaj, ok, how to do that? And why do I *suddenly* need to do that when it has been working just fine for several months? And it still works in vlc?
[18:23] <BluesKaj> tdn ok , where is not working ?
[18:24] <acioname> tdn BluesKaj : sorry i must leave i have work :(
[18:24] <tdn> BluesKaj, I use this machine primarily as an HTPC. So I have one user that logs into an XBMC session. It has worked fine for months. But now the sound in XBMC does not work.
[18:25] <tdn> BluesKaj, BUT if I log out of XBMC and log in as a regular user into a normal X session, sound works fine if I play the SAME media file using vlc.
[18:26] <BluesKaj> tdn, oh , xbmc, ok I used it for a while but vlc fits my needs for my HTC just fine
[18:27] <BluesKaj> perhaps an xbmc update is in order, tdn
[18:27] <tdn> BluesKaj, ok, I prefer xbmc. Do you still think phonon/pulse is what I need to do? And how to I go ahead from here?
[18:27] <tdn> BluesKaj, I have run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. All packages up to date.
[18:28] <luftikuss> HAMKoot: I do not think that your proposal is the proper tool. This package is not installed on my computer. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info states "design capacity low=200mWh" but gnome-power-statistics states differently.
[18:28] <BluesKaj> tdn i would install pavucontrol ,,it can direct your audio IO options and can setup DD and DTS audio options as well
[18:28] <islandmonkey> Hmm, anyone know why Chrome would dramatically slow Unity performance? Intel Core i7 quad core 8GB RAM NVIDIA GT540M
[18:29] <HAMKoot> luftikuss, oke, i wasn't sure, and this was all i remembered about powersettings
[18:30] <BluesKaj> !pavucontrol | tdn
[18:30] <dhill> hello, i am trying to netboot ubuntu install, but I cannot get serial redirection/output to work.  I have added "SERIAL 0 9600 0" to default, and console=/dev/ttyS0,9600 to append...  any ideas?
[18:30] <BluesKaj> tdn, pavucontrol is basically a gui for pulseaudio
[18:30] <luftikuss> HAMKoot: I've done quite a bit researching about ACPI but I am not up-to-date about the new developments. I will do some nore snooping now. --  Thank you for commenting.
[18:31] <piotr_kuna> is anyone good in grub & booting? I have problems here with booting 11.10
[18:33] <tdn> BluesKaj, but what to do with it? I have installed it now.
[18:34] <tdn> When I start type pavucontrol as root, I get: "Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK"
[18:35] <MB_wrk> Is there a ksplice or equivalent for ubuntu server?
[18:35] <BluesKaj> set your soundcard input uoutputs etc and codecs , tdn
[18:36] <UbuntuDude> Why doesn't UBUNTU 12.04 LTS remember my network connection state on RESUME?
[18:36] <BluesKaj> just type it in the run command , alt+f2 , tdn
[18:36] <UbuntuDude> I don't want it enabling my wireless or networking if I had it turned off. That is an unrequested operation.
[18:37] <lullabud> i just loaded ubuntu 12.04 on a Pavilion DM4.  the display is being recognized as 1024x768, but it's actually a higher resolution display.  how can i fix this?
[18:38] <lullabud> i have to boot with nomodeset or the display just goes black, so perhaps that's part of it.
[18:38] <CharlieSu> trism: 'cp' worked great in that preseed.. thanks bud!
[18:38] <tdn> BluesKaj, I do not have a keyboard on the thing, so I am on via ssh.
[18:39] <tdn> BluesKaj, why would I need to change my soundcard input/outputs? I have not changed those. It just stopped working the other day.
[18:39] <BluesKaj> lullabud, install the recommende/restricteed drivers in jockey
[18:40] <BluesKaj> tdn, I didn't say to change them , pavucontrol makes them stick after updates and upgardes
[18:40] <UbuntuDude> Hello? ANybody? Need to disable all networking on acpi lid action resume!!! It seems 12.04 is responsible enough to respect my settings on suspend.
[18:40] <UbuntuDude> is ^ not responsible...
[18:40] <tdn> BluesKaj, you set that I should "set" them. Isnt that the same?
[18:40] <Daghdha> is there anyway to use a share on a windows machine in ubuntu without mounting it? Like an UNC path?
[18:41] <Walther> Daghdha: you might see it in smb://

[18:41] <Walther> Daghdha: in a file browser

[18:42] <BluesKaj> tdn set them as they are set in phonon audio hardware
[18:43] <mzuverink> since switching to 12.04 my wireless connection acts up very regularly.  Chrome and all other web browsers recently report that it cannot resolve dns.  Windows machines, indeed the same machine running Windows runs fine and the issue never happens.  Anyone point me in the area of a fix. Much appreciated.
[18:43] <UbuntuDude> Can anyone help me disable wireless power on acpi lid action resume? The Ubuntu is not respecting my settings~!

[18:58] <UbuntuDude> i bet it says chrome is google logware crap ;)
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> islandmonkey, install htop and look at what is running, you can shutstuff down there if needed.
[18:58] <klausender> Hello, i have been trying to install ubuntu for some hours now  but i only get a black screen...search on the internet has resulted in errors of the graphics but i am not even sure if this is correct since i am a total newbie...can anybody help me please?

[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?

[19:13] <coellobranco> oldwzd -> i use nvidia driver...
[19:13] <netraameht> UbuntuDude, yes
[19:14] <oldwzd> coellobranco: yah i read, sec checking my db for possible link to solution
[19:14] <netraameht> UbuntuDude, at the *) part?
[19:14] <ona_matt> Anyone know why the installer is not adding the dns domain to resolv.conf that is provided by DHCP  (this is in 12.04)
[19:14] <W4sp> piotr_kuna: Your RAID is already on error...?
[19:14] <UbuntuDude> yeah the end is missing two semi-colons
[19:14] <UbuntuDude> only syntax error i've noticed spot on
[19:14] <coellobranco> ok, thanks oldwzf
[19:14] <coellobranco> ok, thanks oldwzd
[19:14] <piotr_kuna> W4sp yes, i have removed one drive from the array
[19:15] <netraameht> UbuntuDude, sorry, but what do you mean with semicolims, Im a badass in english XD
[19:15] <netraameht> colons*
[19:15] <UbuntuDude> ->> ;;
[19:16] <UbuntuDude> netraameht I've reffered to it as a tail a time or two.
[19:16] <UbuntuDude> it closes the case instance statement.
[19:16] <W4sp> piotr_kuna: If you want to have the good one mounted you would require a CD to mount the partition. You may be able to install GRUB onto the HDD that doesn't come up at the moment.
[19:16] <Wizard> Yo. Is it possible to setup Ubuntu to automount devices *without* showing the mountpoint in Nautilus?
[19:16] <netraameht> UbuntuDude: http://pastebin.com/fAEujK35
[19:16] <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?
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <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] <Wizard> ha1dfo: Seems like a gfx issue. Which gfx card has this laptop onboard?
[19:18] <piotr_kuna> W4sp: then i have reinstalled grub several times on all drives - it does not help
[19:18] <ha1dfo> Wizard, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [Quadro FX 1800M] (rev a2)
[19:19] <UbuntuDude> Wow you need to see a bash manual!
[19:19] <UbuntuDude> netraameht http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_07_02.html
[19:19] <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
[19:20] <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] <ha1dfo> alright, i'll try using that. Thank you!
[19:21] <ha1dfo> i guess i'll be one for some level in a couple of days trying. :)
[19:21] <Wizard> ha1dfo: You're welcome.
[19:21] <UbuntuDude> netraameht you can also see my bash scripting reference with questions or curiosity: https://faceboo.com/alt.bash
[19:21] <FounderOf42O> what touchpad settings app does ubuntu use? i want the advanced synaptic settings on lubuntu
[19:21] <Wizard> ha1dfo: I constantly idle here.
[19:22] <UbuntuDude> netraameht wrong link above. -->> https://facebook.com/alt.bash
[19:23] <W4sp> piotr_kuna: Oh, i didn't know you get that far. Here's a howto guide that may assist you further. http://askubuntu.com/questions/83577/how-to-repair-a-degraded-raid
[19:23] <netraameht> UbuntuDude so I can do like if []; then {true} else {false}
[19:23] <dhill> hello, i am trying to netboot ubuntu install, but I cannot get serial redirection/output to work.  I have added "SERIAL 0 9600 0" to default, and console=/dev/ttyS0,9600 to append...  any ideas?
[19:23] <UbuntuDude> yes but you need the tail at the end of the last command in a single line group closing statement
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <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] <UbuntuDude> so && is equal to then and || is equal to else
[19:26] <iceroot> UbuntuDude: #bash
[19:27] <UbuntuDude> -- sorry.
[19:27] <aidanjt> JoeyJoeJo: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the hash symbols (#) against the "deb http://..." lines
[19:27] <xangua> JoeyJoeJo: open Software Center, go to edit-sources and disable the cd
[19:27] <Rewt`> am stuck in Nvidia Quadro NVC 290 hell
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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/
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> w30: there is a PPA you can add, Cinammon is not supoprted here bt we can get it installed
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <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] <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?
[19:36] <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] <user__> people why ubuntu 12.04 freeze always ?
[19:37] <user__> i can notice other distribution really better ?
[19:37] <baizon> user__: what do you mean by freezes?
[19:37] <baizon> when does it happen
[19:37] <gordonjcp> TaJMoX: I do something similar using just an editor and Markdown syntax
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> user__: have you tested your RAM?
[19:37] <gordonjcp> TaJMoX: I appreciate this doesn't answer your question
[19:37] <user__> when just i click on force quit icon
[19:37] <W4sp> Ubuntu doesn't 'freeze always.'
[19:37] <th0r> TaJMoX: you might check out Treepad
[19:37] <user__> just like that and everything then froze
[19:37] <user__> i can't move mous i can do anything
[19:38] <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] <user__> this happens alot of time
[19:38] <baizon> user__: check your ram
[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
[19:39] <gordonjcp> user__: yes, run memtest86 from the install disk
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> user__: using another OS is not a memory test
[19:39] <coellobranco> oldwzd -> very hard solution?
[19:39] <w30> ActionParsnip, I have xubuntu with xfce4 or fvwm4 what ever it is. I didn't get allconfigure  applications that I had with Gnome 1. I miss those. I found some of them but not all.
[19:39] <user__> well ill try to do that
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> user__: its an option in Grub
[19:39] <Bitz> help me
[19:39] <UbuntuDude> ALL: How to get my system to remember the networking state on suspend --> resume ??? :D
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> user__: if you installed with Wubi then defrag your NTFS partition, may help. Also chkdsk it
[19:39] <Bitz> with my ubuntu server
[19:40] <FounderOf42O> Does anyone know what touchpad settings app ubuntu uses? i want the advanced synaptic settings on lubuntu
[19:40] <user__> yea that's great
[19:40] <gordonjcp> !help | Bitz
[19:40] <W4sp> !ask | Bitz
[19:40] <SS01> w30: if you /need/ to I suppose you could use the still-supported 10.04, which uses gnome 2 natively, but I dont recommend it
[19:40] <th0r> FounderOf42O: synclient might work
[19:40] <gordonjcp> FounderOf42O: yes, synclient
[19:40] <W4sp> Bitz: There's also #ubuntu-server.
[19:40] <user__> but how about changing main menu icon ?
[19:40] <user__> i tried
[19:40] <elvano> I have installed gnome + gnome-panel on my ubuntu, can I remove unity?
[19:41] <user__> ubuntu tweak
[19:41] <user__> and alot of tricks
[19:41] <xangua> elvano: better not
[19:41] <FloodBot1> user__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:41] <baizon> elvano: it will break your system
[19:41] <gordonjcp> FounderOf42O: be careful with synclient, you can set things so they are really horrible to use ;-)
[19:41] <FounderOf42O> synclient, thank you
[19:41] <baizon> try gone classic
[19:41] <user__> hahahahaha
[19:41] <user__> lol
[19:41] <gordonjcp> FounderOf42O: on a macbook it is possible to set the touchpad so sensitive that it "clicks" when your finger is half an inch off it
[19:41] <FounderOf42O> realy i just need two finger scrolling and disable taptoclick
[19:41] <user__> i just fed up searching
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> elvano  no need to remove, logout, choose different, login
[19:41] <user__> too many pages but no answer
[19:42] <user__> specifically with 12.04 it's so hard
[19:42] <elvano> Well, that was my question.
[19:42] <w30> SS01, Yeah but going backwards is a loosing proposition in the long run and would just get worse with every upgrade.
[19:42] <SS01> w30: I know, I was just thinking as a last resort
[19:42] <gordonjcp> w30: gnome-panel is rather like Gnome 2
[19:42] <elvano> Is there another way to make ubuntu run smoother on my low system specs?
[19:43] <gordonjcp> elvano: what's the spec?
[19:43] <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] <gordonjcp> elvano: can you add more memory?
[19:43] <UbuntuDude> because I don't need networking to work on my programs
[19:44] <UbuntuDude> it gets rediculous when I close the lid to go do something
[19:44] <UbuntuDude> open it up and have to shut it back off
[19:44] <gordonjcp> UbuntuDude: I don't understand the problem
[19:44] <wodie> 2012-08-31 14:42:13	I	msg:[MAIN] Logger updating log file to use

[19:44] <wodie> 2012-08-31 14:42:13	I	msg:[MAIN] Runner shutdown
[19:44] <W4sp> elvano: Most likely the GNOME3 desktop environment is the bottleneck. There are many DEs that you can choose from.
[19:44] <Bitz> okay then My question: I have an ubuntu server version and I have some problem with it. I was watching movie on my samsung tv using dlna and suddenly it just snapped and everything went out then i reset and the the load gets stuck at some point but most of the functions work. I am not sure what happened... log files are not very helpful ... I am using DLNA (serviio)... So my question is...can
[19:44] <Bitz> anyone give me an idea why does it get stuck during startup...and can dlna cause this?
[19:44] <quest> hey, does anyone knows how can i get the DVD version of ubuntu server?
[19:45] <gordonjcp> !download | quest
[19:45] <UbuntuDude> Basically I don't require networking so the stupid pc should not be turning it on when I had it shut off in the first place.
[19:45] <UbuntuDude> And the stupid pc should be letting me control that action.
[19:45] <quest> ubottu: Thx
[19:45] <w30> elvano, lubuntu works great on my cheap, low powered HP 8" netbook with a 8 gig ssd drive
[19:46] <gordonjcp> the annoying thing with lubuntu is it *still* says it needs 4.4GB of disk, and it clearly doesn't ;-)
[19:46] <quest> !torrents
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <W4sp> !rules | yoof
[19:47] <baizon> elvano: none, just check if you like it
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <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.
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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.
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <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] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption
[19:58] <wjtaylor> Why doesn't that show in the GUI version???
[19:58] <wjtaylor> Bartender make it a double!
[20:00] <gordonjcp> wjtaylor: working?
[20:00] <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
[20:00] <hanslanda> hello there, guys i have a problem with microphone..its not working...and i have made everything on alsamixer to take care of that...but without success..anyone???
[20:01] <gordonjcp> ozpy: pastebin the error message *verbatim*, please
[20:01] <bkc_> hanslanda: pulseaudio
[20:01] <hanslanda> bkc_, no ...alsa
[20:01] <bkc_> hanslanda: !wiki pulseaudio
[20:01] <gordonjcp> hanslanda: have you selected the correct input in alsamixer's record page?
[20:01] <netraameht> bkc_ do I know u?
[20:02] <ozpy> gordonjcp, one sec. Ijust did sudo apt-get update
[20:02] <hanslanda> goddard, yes ...i think so
[20:02] <klausender> ActionParsnip the error remains the same
[20:03] <hanslanda> gordonjcp, , yes ...i think so
[20:04] <ozpy> gordonjcp, http://pastebin.com/PQ64eE3t
[20:06] <gordonjcp> ozpy: well, you appear to have a mixture of Quantal and Precise sources in there
[20:06] <gordonjcp> ozpy: which isn't especially sane
[20:06] <HAMKoot> and  hardy
[20:07] <hanslanda> anyone can help me please? all guys just say to me that i have to change alsamixer settings...but i've already changed everything there...tried many things there...
[20:07] <UbuntuDude> Found the answer to disable auto resume enables wireless: Airplane mode!
[20:07] <gordonjcp> ozpy: furthermore looking at the errors it looks like it just can't find the PPAs for clamav, so you could try removing those lines
[20:07] <blakes> Having trouble with printer:  Connecting a Lexmark pro901 via wireless to a CUPS server running 12.04. using ipp, the job appears to print normally, but never actually prints. Same with socket:// connection.
[20:07] <wjtaylor> gordonjcp: ok we're close. I found my line but cannot select it for capture.
[20:07] <UbuntuDude> Anyone know a shell command to enable airplane mode? Would like the system to startup in airplane mode.
[20:08] <guntbert> gordonjcp: several lines seem to indicate hardy too (47)
[20:08] <ozpy> gondonjcp, how to do that on terminal?
[20:08] <UbuntuDude> So If I turn it on and I happen to be on a plane..... lol
[20:08] <klausender> ActionParsnip with the addition: unknown parameter 'nomodeset' 00f0 already in use
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> klausender: do you use hybrid graphics?
[20:09] <ozpy> gondonjcp, Hope there's a solution
[20:10] <hanslanda> Anyone can help me on configuring alsa step by step (new linux user)    ????
[20:10] <klausender> ActionParsnip how do i find out
[20:10] <wjtaylor> hanslanda: I'm doing the same thing... crazy huh
[20:11] <wjtaylor> goto shell and type alsamixer   and set your volumes, ec
[20:11] <hanslanda> wjtaylor, already done this....microphone still not working
[20:11] <wjtaylor> you're right where I am... lol
[20:12] <wjtaylor> Do you know how to select an input for capture? What key?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> klausender: does the system have a make and model?
[20:12] <klausender> ActionParsnip there is also graphics onboard...do you mean that?
[20:12] <hanslanda> f4
[20:12] <usr13> hanslanda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> klausender: have you disabled that (I assume you don't use it)
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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.
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:20] <ozpy> guntbert, pal i did sudo gedit on that file and did not see any ppa... http://pastebin.com/BUWq04c3
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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...
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <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] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuDude: easier to use:  echo "sudo rfkill block all" | sudo tee /etc/rc.local; echo "exit 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local    assuming nothing else has been added
[20:24] <Gary_inNYC> what will happen to gnome 2.x if I were to push this upgrade to 12.0.1 button now?
[20:24] <guntbert> ozpy: wait - do you have a graphical system?
[20:25] <Gary_inNYC> I've been running lucid for years, what will happen to gnome 2 if i upgrade to 12.0.1?
[20:25] <Gary_inNYC> sry, I meant 12.04.1
[20:26] <smw_> Gary_inNYC, you will lose gnome2
[20:26] <oskar-> Gary_inNYC: It will be replaced...
[20:26] <Gary_inNYC> dang, with Unity I assume?
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <UbuntuDude> sounds like I need to write a script to add lines to a script with the ability to remove them based on sed. And get more people to download it ;)
[20:27] <oskar-> Gary_inNYC: yes. you can also install gnome-shell and then have a gnome-2 similar desktop called "gnome classic"
[20:27] <ozpy> Guntbert, Synaptic does not work either.
[20:27] <Gary_inNYC> thanks oskar-

[20:28] <klausender> ActionParsnip I cant find the onboard vga option in the bios
[20:29] <guntbert> ozpy: for now I'd prefer to get along, so please press the windows-key (to open the dash) and enter   sou   that should display "software sources", press <enter>
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> klausender: could try connecting the monitor to the onboard during install
[20:31] <ozpy> Guntbert, ready buddy
[20:31] <ozpy> what's next?
[20:32] <klausender> ActionParsnip sorry i dont know much about computers, how do i do that
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> klausender: well, the monitor is connected to the ati video card, yes?
[20:33] <klausender> probably
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> klausender: then unplug iot and connect it to the onboard video chip
[20:34] <guntbert> ozpy: select the tab "other software" and uncheck ervery line except "canonical partners" and "independent", then close and try sudo apt-get update again
[20:35] <klausender> AcrionParsnip there is no other port where it fits
[20:36] <ozpy> guntbert, I get "can't be changed w/o permission". I'm running as administrator. So weird
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> klausender: I see, is the system a laptop?
[20:36] <guntbert> ozpy: "running as administrator" - how?
[20:37] <klausender> ActionParsnip no
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> klausender: thought not, just checking
[20:37] <ozpy> guntbert, I run as main user. Isn't that administrator as well?
[20:38] <JFET> Wizard, graphics seems to be resolved by installing the alternate image, booting into rescue, and then doing the jockey-text
[20:38] <ozpy> guntbert, the system does not allow me to modify the anything you mentioned.
[20:38] <guntbert> ozpy: not really, but "software sources" should have asked you for your password
[20:38] <guntbert> ozpy: is this your own system?
[20:38] <JFET> however, I had a tweak configured a long time ago, that alt-tab doesn't show iconified windows, and I can't remember how to set in unity. Does anyone know this?
[20:39] <nightwalkerkg> Hi. When i try to boot ubuntu 12.04 from usb flash drive i get ERROR: No configuration file found. No default or ui configuration directive found.
[20:39] <ozpy> guntbert, When I initialize "sofware sources" it does not ask for password. It's my system.
[20:39] <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.
[20:40] <ozpy> guntbert, I'm running the laptop as "main user"
[20:40] <ozpy> Guntbert, maybe I should reboot that whole thing
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <oskar-> jaequery:  see manpage, first hit for keyword "certificate"
[20:43] <oskar-> (--no-check-certificate)
[20:44] <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.
[20:45] <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...
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: could make a flashy sed command ;)
[20:46] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: feel free :)
[20:46] <jefimenko> how can i downgrade to the previous version of firefox? i just upgraded to 15 and it broke an essential add-on
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: my bashfu is still yellow belt
[20:46] <jefimenko> i'm on precise 12.04
[20:46] <faLUCE> hi. normally, the executables are located in /usr/bin and when I type the name of the executable I don't need to specify the /usr/bin path. Now: I have some other executables in /some/dir.  How can I let them to be executed without specifying the /some/dir path?
[20:47] <iceroot> !path
[20:47] <auronandace> jefimenko: basically you don't
[20:47] <iceroot> faLUCE: the PATH Variable is doing the job
[20:47] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: more like green belt here :) - end of ot
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> :)
[20:48] <oskar-> jefimenko:  if you still have the deb file, e.g. in /var/cache/apt/archives (?), you could install it by dpkg -i xxxxx.deb
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> faLUCE: add the folder to PATH and it will be used
[20:48] <Mysterytrain> ok I have an odd serial port problem. if I do ls -l /dev/ttyS0 I get crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2012-08-29 20:36 /dev/ttyS0 as expected, but minicome run as root says that it can't find /dev/ttyS0. any idea what the problem is?
[20:49] <faLUCE> ActionParsnip: how can I make it definitive?
[20:49] <Mysterytrain> *minicom
[20:49] <gordonjcp> Mysterytrain: that does seem odd, but don't run minicom as root
[20:49] <gordonjcp> Mysterytrain: add yourself to the dialout group
[20:49] <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
[20:50] <iceroot> wjtaylor: because alsa and pulse are different sound systems
[20:50] <Mysterytrain> gordonjcp: I'm using minicom to send textfiles over it.
[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] <wjtaylor> iceroot: ^^
[20:51] <oskar-> jefimenko:  http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[20:52] <ozpy> guntbert, Pal, http://pastebin.com/4gesDQvt  I did not see any ppa again after doing gksudo gedit
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> faLUCE: if they are used in /etc/rc.local I'd use absolute paths, probably easier
[20:52] <auronandace> !12.10 | ozpy
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <auronandace> guntbert: just missed him
[20:55] <guntbert> auronandace: he believes he is running 12.04
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> faLUCE: worth a try
[20:56] <Kevin`> how can I have ubuntu not open a file window when a disk is mounted
[20:57] <faLUCE> thanks ActionParsnip let's try
[20:58] <Kenpachi7996> kevin: have you tried running nautilus-file-management-properties?
[20:58] <Kevin`> Kenpachi7996: no such file
[20:59] <stevep> hi
[21:00] <Kevin`> anyone remember when these options used to be in the gui? :/
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <eris0xff> hi
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> faLUCE: not sure then, is it just for one command or are there many?
[21:04] <Lunar_Lander_> hi there is there a program that I can like set to 1 am that then pops up and reminds me that it is time to go to bed?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: you can use the 'at' command
[21:04] <hash> How do I open grubx64.efi?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: its like a one-shot cron command
[21:04] <Lunar_Lander_> ActionParsnip, thanks
[21:05] <Mysterytrain> is there a more...elegant way to add users to groups other than usermod -G group,group,group user, which requires you to log in and out again?
[21:05] <Lunar_Lander_> and how would I make it show a message?
[21:06] <guntbert> Mysterytrain: there are more ways, but all require you to log out/in
[21:06] <Bloathi> Quick question: Are there any known issues with the HD5450 on the non updated xorg / 12.04 LTS ?
[21:07] <Bloathi> I recall artifacting on 10-11.xx
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: use notify-send
[21:08] <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
[21:09] <Lunar_Lander_> hm
[21:09] <Lunar_Lander_> at tomorrow 1:00 am notify-send "Go To Bed!"
[21:09] <Lunar_Lander_> xD
[21:09] <netraameht> How to fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178607/
[21:09] <netraameht> Bash
[21:09] <Lunar_Lander_> ah you need libnotify-bin
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: or:    at tomorrow 1:00 am notify-send 'Dude!' 'Go To Bed!'
[21:10] <Lunar_Lander_> cool
[21:10] <evilbutts> can you use any port to connect to irc
[21:10] <Lunar_Lander_> let me try that out
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> evilbutts: 6667 is standard
[21:10] <evilbutts> for some reason my router hates it
[21:10] <Lunar_Lander_> at runs without sudo?
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> evilbutts: if you want to use a different port on your server, that's fine
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: sure, its a nitifcation, users can run that tuff
[21:10] <chuck_> I have a usb wireless adapter (Encore N150 Model ENUWI-1XN42 [http://www.encore-usa.com/us/support/ENUWI-1XN42])...installed the drivers on my 10.04 Ubuntu on a Dell Omniplex...the device is showing under lsusb but it wont work. Any ideas?
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: it showing under lsusb just means the kernel can see it
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: if you use the 8 character hex ID, you can find guides with websearches
[21:12] <evilbutts> brb testing
[21:12] <visique> how do i known what program is requiring root access?
[21:12] <netraameht> ActionParsnip, do you know what this error means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178607/
[21:12] <visique> is just poping on my screen
[21:13] <Lunar_Lander_> ActionParsnip, 25 seconds to test
[21:13] <vmachine1> any firewall experts here? i have a generic question regarding firewall setup not vendor specific but concept.
[21:13] <Lunar_Lander_> 15 seconds
[21:13] <Lunar_Lander_> 5
[21:13] <Jordan_U> visique: What is just poping on your screen? What do you mean by "poping"?
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander_> yay it says Test!
[21:14] <Bloathi> Firewalls are not complicated.
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: cool huh :)
[21:14] <auronandace> Lunar_Lander_: what syntax did you use, it doesn't work for me
[21:14] <Bloathi> anything conceptually different would be handled by other software.
[21:14] <visique> Jordan_U an screen requiring root password
[21:14] <vmachine1> my question was regarding dmz
[21:15] <Jordan_U> visique: Usually such a screen will tell you what program is requestion root privileges.
[21:15] <Lunar_Lander_> auronandace, I typed in "at 23:16"
[21:15] <Lunar_Lander_> then it went to at>
[21:15] <Lunar_Lander_> and then I typed notify-send 'test'
[21:15] <Lunar_Lander_> Return
[21:15] <auronandace> oh
[21:15] <Lunar_Lander_> and then Ctrl+D
[21:16] <DeLorean731> anyone familiar with ffmpeg?
[21:16] <Jordan_U> !anyone | DeLorean731
[21:16] <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] <DeLorean731> lol, so anal
[21:17] <auronandace> Lunar_Lander_: thanks
[21:17] <Lunar_Lander_> you're welcome
[21:18] <guntbert> vmachine1: details about generally configuring firewalls is not exactly part of ubuntu support
[21:18] <Lunar_Lander_> auronandace, ActionParsnip http://s.gullipics.com/image/j/l/7/5yvr1d-jc3hmt-ymlb/GoToBed.png
[21:18] <visique> Jordan_U i will observe next time... but i think there is no msg telling what app is =/
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: fun. I use it in my fullupdate script
[21:18] <Lunar_Lander_> cool
[21:19] <Bloathi> ubot, that's true, but some of us actually use IRC as a last resort instead of a Google replacement.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: if you connect to ssh with the -X option, the notifications will appear on the clienmt if you use notify-send
[21:19] <Lunar_Lander_> ah
[21:19] <Lunar_Lander_> good to know
[21:19] <Lunar_Lander_> I don't really use ssh
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178622/
[21:19] <Lunar_Lander_> thanks
[21:20] <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] <Bloathi> Are there any ubuntu package builders like Slax is to Slackware?
[21:20] <Bloathi> errr, ISO
[21:20] <Bloathi> that bundle packages
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: sure but you would need to use:  sudo at 1:00 am     etc
[21:20] <Lunar_Lander_> when I had been on windows (yeah I know) I once had a program where I could select Suspense or Sleep mode or Shutdown and a time
[21:20] <Lunar_Lander_> ah
[21:20] <Lunar_Lander_> so that I could like watch youtube or so from my bed
[21:21] <pyrrhic> 12.04 LTS x64 hanging after GRUB; ideas?
[21:21] <Lunar_Lander_> and when I fall asleep the PC goes into suspense
[21:21] <Lunar_Lander_> that's my idea
[21:21] <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> Such as?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> pyrrhic: tried the boot option: nomodeset
[21:22] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Can I permanently change that in GRUB, and what does it do?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/make-your-own-custom-livecddistro-easily-using-novo-builder    source:
[21:22] <Lunar_Lander_> ActionParsnip, what would be the command to induce suspense?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi:
[21:22] <bora> hi
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=make+your+own+ubuntu+based+OS   3rd time's a charm
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: if you search the web a little, you find all kinds of goodness
[21:23] <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.
[21:24] <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] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Think that's still the issue?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> pyrrhic: do you have the AMD driver installed?
[21:24] <Daghdha> Hi, i shared a folder on a drive that's no longer in my system. It still lists as a share on my ubuntu machine, how can i delete it?
[21:24] <Bloathi> ActionParsnip: http://www.cyvoc.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1552
[21:24] <zykotick9> DeLorean731: avi is a terrible container.... just sayin'
[21:24] <Bloathi> Doesn't work with 12.04
[21:24] <Bloathi> also gnome dependencies
[21:24] <Lunar_Lander_> zykotick9, thanks
[21:25] <zykotick9> Lunar_Lander_: personally, i use pm-hibernate
[21:25] <Lunar_Lander_> yea
[21:25] <pyrrhic> Yes. After installation I got a notification along the top taskbar saying it had drivers to install. Can't remember the term, but I had to clear it manually. There were two, I can't use the BETA one I believe. So I had to take one step down and use the normal. Both were for the video card.
[21:25] <Lunar_Lander_> that is the to-disk version?
[21:25] <zykotick9> Lunar_Lander_: ya, "more" shutdown ;)
[21:25] <Lunar_Lander_> :)
[21:26] <Lunar_Lander_> I don't have that option anymore btw
[21:26] <Lunar_Lander_> in 11.10 that was available in the menu
[21:26] <jpate> any unity launcher experts in the house?
[21:26] <Lunar_Lander_> but in 12.04 they took it from the menu
[21:26] <zykotick9> Lunar_Lander_: oh sorry, hibernate has been disabled in ubuntu-land.  my bad.
[21:26] <Lunar_Lander_> :(
[21:26] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Direct Rendering is ON. Used the command glxinfo | grep rendering
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: well pull in the deps, make the OS and then wipe your current OS out and install your own. You could even make a virtualised system to do your work
[21:27] <DeLorean731> zytokick9: Not my choice haha
[21:27] <Bloathi> The Ubuntu installer has gnome deps
[21:27] <DeLorean731> any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[21:27] <zykotick9> !tab > DeLorean731
[21:27] <Bloathi> at least from any of the graphical methods
[21:27] <max_overdrive> anyone know if there is a way to have a different Exec in the .desktop file for initial load vs middle click 'open another window' on launcher?
[21:28] <Bloathi> There is Gno way to avoid Gnome, unless I do it online.
[21:28] <Bloathi> Does no-one find this troubling?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: I use Gnome, so not really
[21:28] <Lunar_Lander_> btw I see that qshutdown is an app for that?
[21:28] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Yes. After installation I got a notification along the top taskbar saying it had drivers to install. Can't remember the term, but I had to clear it manually. There were two, I can't use the BETA one I believe. So I had to take one step down and use the normal. Both were for the video card.----- Direct Rendering is Enabled. Used the command glxinfo | grep rendering
[21:29] <Bloathi> Well, I use Enlightenment, so this is insane to me.
[21:29] <xevwork> Is there a channel dedicated to apt?
[21:29] <Bloathi> There isn't even a Qt method
[21:29] <rox> xevwork: no, but people here or in #debian will be glad to help
[21:29] <Bloathi> or commandline only non-gnome
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Bloathi: there may be, could ask in #kubuntu
[21:30] <rox> !tell xevwork about ask to ask
[21:31] <rox> !ask to ask
[21:31] <Flannel> !ask
[21:31] <zykotick9> rox: ;)  #ubuntu isn't #debian
[21:31] <xevwork> rox: I didn't ask to ask a question. I asked if there was a more appropriate place to ask apt-related questions.
[21:31] <Daghdha> anyone? Iset the fodler to sharing with right click menu in ubuntu and now i ca;t unshar eit
[21:31] <guntbert> !askthebot > rox
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: is the samba package installed?
[21:32] <Daghdha> i don't know. the share works fine. I added it in ubuntu using the 'sharing options' option in the file explorer
[21:32] <Lunar_Lander_> ActionParsnip, this post looks interesting http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11890267&postcount=57
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: apt-cache policy samba    will show you
[21:32] <Daghdha> Si i can't remove it in the gui?
[21:32] <rox> xevwork: what i ment to say was - if you have an apt-related question, just ask, and if you don't get an answer here, take a shot in #debian
[21:33] <visique> Jordan_U like this http://s16.postimage.org/gaf5xmnbp/screenshot.png
[21:33] <Daghdha> ActionParsnip yes it is installed
[21:33] <visique> =/
[21:33] <Daghdha> andis latest version
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> Lunar_Lander_: looks good, could make aliases for those :)
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander_> like shortcuts?
[21:34] <mooser> Any alternative for Ubuntu Software Center client? it slows as a elephant and kills the whole RAM
[21:34] <xevwork> I'm having trouble with pbuilder: I have set it up to use a local directory as an apt repository, but 'apt-get update' is ignoring it. http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1794663
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: and you cannot unshare the folder now, is that right?
[21:34] <Jordan_U> visique: That's not asking for root privileges, that's asking for access to your user's gnome keyring.
[21:34] <visique> what is that???
[21:34] <Jordan_U> visique: Click details to see more.
[21:34] <randomDude> mooser: apt-get , apt-cache search
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> mooser: synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, apt-fast, lubuntu-software-center
[21:34] <Bloathi> mooser: sudo aptitude
[21:34] <Daghdha> ActionParsnip: Yes. If i go to sharing options i can choose to share it again. It is already shared, i want to unshare it.
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: tried sharing it again then unsharing it?
[21:35] <zykotick9> !aptitude | mooser Bloathi
[21:35] <Bloathi> Aptitude beats any software center short of synaptic
[21:35] <Daghdha> ActionParsnip: NO, i will try that
[21:35] <zykotick9> Bloathi: don't use aptitude with 12.04!
[21:35] <Bloathi> LOL, I have arch filtered
[21:36] <Bloathi> I'm not a newbie, and it's from a min
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: why not?
[21:36]  * Daghdha gives ActionParsnip a little hug.
[21:36] <zykotick9> !aptiude | ActionParsnip it doesn't support multiarch!
[21:36] <Daghdha> Thanks :)
[21:36] <randomDude> oh ok
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: ahh, then it's ok on 32bit ubuntu :)
[21:36] <Bloathi> It's ok for 64 bit as well
[21:36] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: is 32bit not multiarch?
[21:37] <pyrrhic> Action, Any other advice for me?
[21:37] <mooser> consufed "You may encounter problems on multiarch installs"
[21:37] <mooser> what is this?
[21:37] <Bloathi> I just did a pure 64 bit aptitude based install
[21:37] <Bloathi> today
[21:37] <Bloathi> and the day before
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: well it'll be only 32bit if the kernel is 32bit
[21:37] <zykotick9> Bloathi: wait till something breaks...  have fun.
[21:37] <max_overdrive> Hey Guys, i'm trying to come up with a good .desktop file for sublime text 2, but middle click isn't opening a 2nd window, and --new-window opens 2 windows to start! is there any way to specify a different command line when you middle click (shift click etc) on the unity launcher???????
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: all ok now?
[21:37] <visique> Jordan_U my passphrase!
[21:37] <Bloathi> Nothing will break. I control every package.
[21:37] <visique> thx!
[21:38] <Bloathi> I don't use the base install.
[21:38] <Jordan_U> visique: You're welcome.
[21:38] <Daghdha> Yes ActionParsnip
[21:38] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip, Am I bothering you, or did you just miss my question?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: yay, nice guess
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> pyrrhic: missed it, sorry
[21:39] <Daghdha> bug.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: I use smb.conf for samba. Its super easy
[21:39] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Yes. Right after first-startup I got a notification along the top taskbar saying it had drivers to install. Can't remember the term, but I had to clear it manually. There were two, I can't use the BETA one I believe. So I had to take one step down and use the normal. Both were for the video card.----- Direct Rendering is Enabled. Used the command glxinfo | grep rendering
[21:39] <Daghdha> super easy is right clicking it and turning it on and off, but it just doesn't work as advertized ;)
[21:39] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: So my video card driver is installed and fully functional.
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: I manage my fileserver via ssh, so config files are the way, its not a complex file :)
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> pyrrhic: not sure then dude, sorry. Maybe others can help
[21:40] <Bloathi> What is with Ubuntu and the HD 5450? Bugs all over the place with the OSS drivers
[21:40] <Mothra> Hello I just purchased a 1tb internal hard drive I have three hard drives attaced my main one is sata, another 120gb one that is connected via IDE and the Sata Hard drive I purchased. My problem is that it appears in bios but does not mount in ubuntu
[21:41] <pyrrhic> ActionParsnip: Np. Love the unix community because everyone seems so willing to help. I'll try the "nomodeset" option and see how it goes. Thanks again!
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Mothra: have you partitioned it?
[21:41] <Jordan_U> Mothra: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[21:41] <Mothra> no perhaps that is my problem :)
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Mothra: likely
[21:41] <Daghdha> ActionParsnip: should just work tbh
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Mothra: run:  sudo apt-get install gparted; gksudo gparted
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Daghdha: depends
[21:41] <Daghdha> Anywa yhanks :)
[21:42] <chuck_> Sorry...for the slow response...yea i have combed the web and even installed the driver with ndswrapper. i just came seem to get the thing to be recognized. what the terminal command to turn on a wireless usb?
[21:42] <Mothra> @ActionParsnip on it
[21:43] <rox> Mothra: you need to have a filesystem on the drive, otherwise you can not mount it. In most cases external drives come preformatted as VFAT, but internal drives usually come unformatted
[21:43] <chuck_> *cant seem...
[21:43] <jakr> hi
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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"
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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"
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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?)
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <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.
[21:59] <Mothra> Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags

[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <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
[22:02] <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] <Mothra> dr_willis I ran the command it is showing up :)
[22:02] <KobeSyst1m> dr_willis: can u see my server
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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?
[22:05] <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..?
[22:06] <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 ?
[22:07] <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?
[22:08] <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] <Mothra> what is the best partition table for ubuntu
[22:08] <Mothra> or storing data rather
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Mothra: there is no single best
[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
[22:09] <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] <SolarisB1y> Mothra: the default partitioning schemes are OK for desktops not sure what you require
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> anathema_: how did you install the application?
[22:09] <SolarisB1y> its genearlly driven by requirement
[22:09] <xckpd7> hello. question: how to copy folders from server to server (recursively) only if they don't already exist?
[22:09] <Mothra> it says I have to if I want to format the drive
[22:09] <xckpd7> I want a scp that doesn't waste time recopying over folders that already exist
[22:09] <Mothra> states that the drive has no partition table
[22:09] <anathema_> ActionParsnip, what application? after some updates, applications are not shown in dash search
[22:10] <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] <Erin> TheHumanscience, does it show up in lspci ?? and does it show up in ifconfig ??
[22:10] <TheHumanscience> no
[22:10] <rox> xckpd7: look into a program called rsync
[22:10] <xckpd7> yes but what's the syntax
[22:10] <xckpd7> or it automatically ignores existing
[22:11] <Erin> TheHumanscience, what device? Does it come w/ linux drivers
[22:11] <TheHumanscience> I have a usb wireless adapter (Encore N150 Model ENUWI-1XN42 [http://www.encore-usa.com/us/support/ENUWI-1XN42])...installed the drivers on my 10.04 Ubuntu on a Dell Omniplex...the device is showing under lsusb but it wont work.
[22:11] <Jordan_U> !rsync | xckpd7
[22:11] <SolarisB1y> rsync is also my friend
[22:12] <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] <rox> xckpd7: man rsync
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <Erin> TheHumanscience, hrm. sounds like the driver is not working/installed correctly
[22:14] <Erin> TheHumanscience, does running jockey-gtk in terminal show any drivers for it that are installable??
[22:15] <Erin> TheHumanscience, post your line from lsusb with the relevant info also please.
[22:16] <hp_> hello world....xoxox
[22:16] <rox> hp_: hello and welcome
[22:20] <TheHumanscience> erin: here is that lsusb: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
[22:20] <Erin> TheHumanscience, yea I went through the readme in the driver install guide you ran the install.sh script ??
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> Erin: you can use the interfaces file and set static ip
[22:21] <Erin> ActionParsnip, even on dhcp though or no?
[22:21] <TheHumanscience> i tried but must have done it wrong. how do you do that?
[22:22] <Erin> TheHumanscience, you extract the archive. open a terminal. cd to the dir run "sudo chmod+x install.sh && ./install.sh
[22:22] <Erin> TheHumanscience, that will build and probably modprobe the driver module for you.
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> Erin: just use the .254 IP so it doesn't clash with the DHCP pool
[22:23] <Guest38052> abcdefg
[22:23] <Erin> ActionParsnip, so set an ip like 192.168.1.254 on the nic I want to not have internet?
[22:23] <Guest38052> xyzxyz
[22:23] <Erin> ActionParsnip, and no gateway
[22:23] <TheHumanscience> erin: trying...thanks
[22:24] <Slayz> Hi. I am creating my own distribution. What is your most important advice for me? Thanks.
[22:24] <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)
[22:26] <wilee-nilee> Slayz, Why bother. ;)
[22:26] <TheHumanscience> erin: im getting chmod+x command not found
[22:26] <c_smith> Hi, I'm trying to boot into an alternate installer on a Lenovo IdeaPad U400, and it boots, but the graphics are all messed up, it's predominately the color chosen for the spin (in Ubuntu's case, purple) with white lines going across it.
[22:26] <Guest38052> d
[22:26] <c_smith> is there something I can do to resolve this?
[22:26] <Erin> TheHumanscience, sorry chmod +x
[22:27] <exutux> c_smith: alternate version doesn't have graphic installer
[22:27] <Erin> TheHumanscience, space between the chmod +x
[22:27] <c_smith> exutux, yes, but the issue I have even affects the alternate installer.
[22:28] <c_smith> exutux, I know that, but even when booting into the main installer, I have the same issue.
[22:28] <rox> c_smith: is there a non-graphical installer?
[22:28] <c_smith> if it helps, my GPU combo is a muxless combo of Intel and ATI.
[22:28] <Slayz> wilee-nilee, because it will become one of the greatest distros ever
[22:28] <c_smith> rox, , yes.
[22:28] <exutux> c_smith: try to set, before boot "nomodeset" type f6
[22:28] <rox> c_smith: try help at boot, it might give you instructions about how to start a textual installer
[22:28] <Greenline> Hello.
[22:28] <c_smith> l/
[22:29] <c_smith> roc, k
[22:29] <TheHumanscience> can i cd to the cd-rom?
[22:29] <wilee-nilee> Slayz, you are on the wrong channel for that anyway this is ubuntu support, inspite of your dreams.
[22:29] <TheHumanscience> @erin
[22:29] <Greenline> I am Tyler Goldstein, from RRMDept.
[22:29] <c_smith> rox, I would, if it would be visible to me.
[22:29] <talsamon> hello
[22:29] <Greenline> I would like to speak to you.
[22:29] <Guest38052> hi
[22:29] <Erin> TheHumanscience, yea cd /media/cdrom or whatever the dir is. its probably in /media/  you can type ls -l /media to find the dirs
[22:29] <Greenline> Hello.
[22:30] <Greenline> About the freedom of choise.
[22:30] <tech1> what
[22:30] <Erin> Greenline, uhm ok?
[22:30] <rox> c_smith: ahh, i get it, you can't even boot into the installer program?
[22:30] <talsamon> how i can change file-associations, i mean globally not "open with"
[22:30] <exutux> c_smith: you don't see anything when you boot cd?
[22:30] <TheHumanscience> thanks
[22:30] <Greenline> In my studies abroad I spent four years in Jerusalem learning Hebrew from a local rabbi named Avigdora. 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.
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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...
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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.
[22:39] <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.
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <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.
[22:42] <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.
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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.
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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*
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <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
[22:53] <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
[22:54] <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
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <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] <elvano> It gave no error so i suppose it did @ rox
[22:57] <doublen00b> Hey
[22:57] <inx-live> hey
[22:58] <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] <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
[22:59] <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...
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <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
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <pyrrhic_> Is there a way to install multiple packages at once in Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[23:05] <rox> elvano: are you sure you didn't by any chance boot into recovery mode or something=
[23:05] <pyrrhic_> Without getting this message --> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[23:05] <doublen00b> All the options in Disk Utility on OSX are greyed out. What can I do?
[23:05] <Cheri703> Nevermind, I installed blueman and got it situated.
[23:05] <Erin> pyrrhic_, sudo apt-get install package1 package2
[23:05] <gordonjcp> doublen00b: not sure what mine is, "Macbook Late 2009" it says
[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
[23:06] <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] <szal> pyrrhic_: then close that
[23:06] <elvano> it says: "Grub rescue>" I haven't been able to do anything. I get on this the moment I power my laptop on @ rox
[23:06] <doublen00b> gordonjcp, it's in System Profiler under Model Identifier
[23:06] <rox> elvano: hmm, this is one weird grub you have there
[23:06] <pyrrhic_> szal, Yes.. but if something is installing and I want to use terminal at the same time. How can I manipulate that?
[23:06] <gmachine_24> Erin, first time it happened to me I was confused as well.
[23:06] <gordonjcp> doublen00b: yeah, it's out in the van and I can't be bothered moving ;-)
[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
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <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
[23:09] <gmachine_24> elevano, I use one of the restore disks here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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/
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <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?
[23:14] <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^, try to load like yahoo.com and google.com and amazon.com
[23:14] <krababbel> I can't connect to an iscsi target. Discovery says: iscsiadm: Cannot perform discovery. Invalid Initiatorname.
[23:15] <Troy^> Erin hmm.. i cant access anything via lynx
[23:15] <Erin> Troy^, and it was working b4 ?
[23:15] <Troy^> yea
[23:15] <Erin> Troy^, static or dhcp ?
[23:15] <Troy^> static
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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??
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <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] <Troy^> wait
[23:21] <Erin> yea not ifconfig
[23:21] <Troy^> Erin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1178792/
[23:22] <doublen00b> MacTel Support wiki doesn't have any info for Ubuntu 12 for my model Mac...
[23:23] <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?
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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 ?
[23:29] <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.
[23:30] <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 $HOME
[23:30] <Erin> Troy^, did you restart networking ?
[23:31] <Troy^> yes i did Erin
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> Erin: purge removes the configs from /etc and so forth
[23:31] <Erin> ActionParsnip, oh really I thought purge was like a nuclear missile.
[23:31] <Troy^> grr i hate this router
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> Erin: someone proposed it a while back but it was rejected
[23:31] <Troy^> fizz@server:/$ 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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <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] <eris0xff> is this for general ubuntu talk or question support?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> Troy^: english please
[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
[23:36] <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] <ActionParsnip> Erin: resolv.conf will always be used
[23:36] <gmachine_24> eris0xff, yes, just ask your question
[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
[23:37] <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 > ?
[23:38] <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] <ActionParsnip> rypervenche: because tee echos to the screen as well as the file, its just neater
[23:39] <rypervenche> ActionParsnip: It doesn't print to stdout though because of the > /dev/null
[23:39] <Marzata> how to connect Android Samsung Galaxy 3s to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS?
[23:39] <Marzata> via cable
[23:40] <eris0xff> oops, wife unit suggest I need to eat before donating copious free time to users
[23:40] <eris0xff> bbl
[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
[23:41] <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.
[23:42] <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] <dr_willis> Marzata:  I just plug mine in and use one of the usb-connection modes. I forget what one it is.. theres 2 options.  the 2nd one was what i needed.
[23:43] <confused> ActionParsnip    http://pastebin.com/JCuAtXp4
[23:43] <dr_willis> Marzata:  theres some mtp tools i think you need to install. the webupd8 blog site had some info on it i recall following
[23:43] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/146529/how-to-connect-samsung-galaxy-s3-via-usb
[23:43] <dr_willis> Changing from MTP to PTP (camera transfer mode) also works with nautilus, at least with the built-in memory.
[23:44] <Marzata> dr_willis: thanks, will see.
[23:45] <dr_willis> Marzata:  i find it best to just use some sort of wifi-transfers. :) much faster then those usb cables
[23:45] <Erin> also that /etc/resolv.conf file says the changes will be over-written is this true .....
[23:45] <Troy^> alright Erin and ActionParsnip thank you for the help
[23:45] <dr_willis> Erin:  at boot time - i belive. or if the networking services get restarted
[23:45] <Troy^> I'm definietly learning alot with a server setup
[23:46] <DdR3Gt> Buonaseraaa a tuttiiiiiii
[23:46] <Erin> Troy^, I wasn't much help. I should have had you try /etc/resolv.conf I did know if it's existance just really thought it had been phased out cause I used /etc/network/interfaces before and it worked.
[23:46] <Erin> dr_willis, so he will have to edit that file on every bootup for his dns to work ?
[23:46] <Troy^> Erin: i thought so too from the articles i read online reading about t
[23:46] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/58781/resolv-conf-keeps-getting-reset-by-something
[23:47] <Erin> Troy^, server stuff is actually easy on ubuntu
[23:47] <dr_willis> !info resolvconf
[23:47] <Berto> in chrome, it never asks to directly just OPEN a file. It always wants to save it somewhere first
[23:47] <dr_willis> resolovconf handles it i belive
[23:47] <Berto> can i change that setting?
[23:47] <confused> ActionParsnip   well, sorry, a lot new to this.. Here is the paste.      http://pastebin.com/kpvXgBKu
[23:47] <Troy^> Erin: yes things are easier because it is ubuntu. But for someone who is newer it is defnietly still a learning curve
[23:47] <Troy^> ok also if you may know HDDTEMP app how do i set it to run without being root?
[23:48] <Marzata> dr_willis: how via wifi? I installed sshd on the phone. It works but it is slow.
[23:49] <dr_willis> Marzata:  i use the various samba tools/file managers mainly. theres always some new tools out for android.
[23:50] <chan-16112> Bot test.
[23:50] <dr_willis> test phailed.
[23:51] <Erin> Troy^, idk i've always just ran it as root since it required it. why do you need to change it
[23:51] <confused> 85 kb file still wants to be installed but when clicking install on update window, it is still being reported as there and in need of installing.. over and over.  Did the sudo update  sudo upgrade and here is the pastebin... Why is the updater stillcalling for that damn 85kb file and worst Still... There are NO further updates ever    I am new to this but I cant believe there are no updates othre than this 85kb file that will not inst
[23:51] <confused> all for what ever reason.. http://pastebin.com/kpvXgBKu
[23:52] <confused> Is It a virus???
[23:52] <Erin> confused, not likely on linux...
[23:52] <Erin> possible, but highly unlikely.
[23:53] <Flannel> confused: You need to do an update first, that pulls down new package lists, which potentially contain new versions, THEN the upgrade/dist-upgrade
[23:53] <confused> I know there has to be updates in the last 5 or 6 weeks
[23:54] <confused> Flannel  I did the update first.. still the same results.. the update manager wants to install this 85 kb file that never installes
[23:54] <nibbler_> confused, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade <-- tis does not update anything?
[23:54] <nibbler_> confused, wich 85kb file?
[23:54] <Flannel> confused: Can you please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update`?
[23:54] <rox> confused: the exact name of the file?
[23:54] <confused> http://pastebin.com/kpvXgBKu
[23:54] <rox> confused: when you say file, do you mean package?
[23:54] <Flannel> confused: no, that's apt-get upgrade, not upDATE
[23:54] <confused> rox.. in update manager it doesnt give the name and NO discription
[23:54] <dj_ryan> how do i erase lvm data from a disk using dd?
[23:55] <confused> its HUGE
[23:55] <rox> confused: then i am sure you must be misinterpreting something
[23:55] <nibbler_> dj_ryan, i guess if you target the first MB it should be fine?
[23:55] <Flannel> confused: right, that's why I asked you to pastebin it :)
[23:55] <confused> ok  h o
[23:55] <dj_ryan> nibbler_: ok, i an trying an automated reinstall and i keep getting an error, i guess im not erasing enough
[23:55] <nibbler_> !paste
[23:56] <Erin> dj_ryan, sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/disk
[23:56] <Erin> NO ONE ELSE RUN THAT LOL.
[23:56] <confused> http://pastebin.com/yYRiGyfz
[23:56] <Erin> dj_ryan, or /dev/zero or /dev/urandom
[23:56] <confused> Flannel http://pastebin.com/yYRiGyfz
[23:56] <nibbler_> would dev/null work at all? doubt it...
[23:56] <dj_ryan> erin: i dont want to the entire disk
[23:57] <dr_willis> null or zero should work fine. :)
[23:57] <rox> dj_ryan: make sure you repartition that disk in linux first, if you partition it in windows, it might not use the whole disk
[23:57] <dj_ryan> ok here's another question, how do i get netcfg to grab the hostname from dhcp?
[23:57] <szal> I remember null not working when I tried something similar a while back
[23:57] <rox> dj_ryan: then add to the command bs=1M count=10
[23:58] <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.
[23:59] <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...
