| TiZ | Hi. My tv has some issues with overscan and not being able to turn it off no matter what I do, but I noticed that this problem only appears in 1280x720 resolution. In 1024x768, it doesn't occur, but it's 4:3 and I'm not using the full area of my TV. I discovered that using xrandr's --scale option, I could create a virtual 1366x768 option, which is perfect... except that when I use it, I get crazy vertical tearing. Like, this horizontal line o | 00:01 |
| TiZ | f desynchronization that goes from the bottom of the screen to the top. What can I do to fix this? | 00:01 |

| ex0a | needhelp1: linux borrows ram for disk caching so that it makes much better use of the unused portions of ram | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: ou have plenty of ram left | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: you are using 800Mb | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !atemyram | needhelp1 may explain things :) | 00:04 |
| ubottu | needhelp1 may explain things :): If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 00:04 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip: i must not be reading the results right, im seeing free: 140 | 00:04 |
| needhelp1 | oh i see | 00:05 |
| needhelp1 | disk caching | 00:05 |
| Mahjonk | i need help with something | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: yep, not reading it right :) | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: linux uses ram as disk cache | 00:05 |
| Mahjonk | does update-rc.d ssh defaults will put ssh launching at startup ? | 00:05 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip: are you looking a the buffers section from my pastebin for how much memory i am actually using? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: unused ram is wated ram, as your apps need ram, the cache is reduced | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: the link ubottu gave explains everything | 00:06 |
| needhelp1 | got it, thanks so much | 00:06 |
| needhelp1 | thanks also ex0a | 00:06 |
| lauratika | i have dual ubuntu/windows 7 pc... the pc is brand new and i want to have a ubuntu partition for OS and other for applications along with windows. is this possible | 00:07 |
| ex0a | no problem needhelp1 - i asked that same question a long time ago :] | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: why would you want RAM doing nothing is the next question, its a waste :) | 00:07 |
| usr13 | lauratika: What? | 00:07 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip: yeah when you read that link you gave, it makes a lot of sense | 00:08 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Can you re-phrase your question? | 00:09 |
| lauratika | yes | 00:10 |
| lauratika | i have ubuntu and windows installed and before in an old computer i had ubuntu in one partition and all aplications/software in another can i do this with dual boot? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: you can use windows7 to resize it's own partition, then install ubuntu to the free space to make a dual boot | 00:12 |
| needhelp1 | lauratika: are you wanting to save all of your files and stuff in it's own separate partition? | 00:12 |
| lauratika | but what i mean is thatb i already install ubuntu on 16gb and want to use the free space 450gb (ntfs) to store ubuntu programs | 00:13 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Ok. You can have partition "/" for system files, and another "/home" for user files, but the Windows partition(s) are not part of the Ubuntu / Linux discussion. | 00:13 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Use the 450G space for /home | 00:14 |
| lauratika | well can i use the free space ntfs as /home?? | 00:14 |
| bethebunny | I'm having trouble booting the 12.10 nightly install cd (and booting an established 10.04 with the same problem), and I think the likely source of the problem is the current nVidia drivers. Is anyone else having similar issues? Is this the appropriate channel? | 00:14 |
| usr13 | lauratika: no | 00:14 |
| lauratika | no? | 00:14 |
| lauratika | so what should i do?? | 00:14 |
| xangua | !12.10 | bethebunny | 00:14 |
| ubottu | bethebunny: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 00:14 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Your /home partition needs to be a Linux partition. | 00:14 |
| lauratika | ok | 00:15 |
| root_719 | those blueray drives work on linux? | 00:15 |
| usr13 | lauratika: The advantages to Linux partitions are significant and you would not want to try and do without them. | 00:15 |
| === root_719 is now known as Erealz | ||

| lauratika | so now i should resize the 450gb and then create a ext4 for /home | 00:16 |
| lauratika | but gparted only aloud 4 main partitions | 00:16 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Yes, you can do that. Use as much of it as you think is necessary. | 00:17 |
| lauratika | 1 boot loader 2 windows 3 freespace 4 ubuntu | 00:17 |
| Frostbyte | Um, can anyone tell me how to get haguichi running on a live key with persistence? seems to be missing a few packages, and I'd like to avoid the dist-upgrade :/ | 00:17 |
| usr13 | lauratika: What you may find in the future, (as most of us do), is that you'll end up using Ubuntu mostly. | 00:17 |
| lauratika | yeah but i have also oem partition | 00:18 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Sorry, I don't know what an OEM partition is. | 00:18 |
| lauratika | usr13... def i was using only ubuntu on the old pc | 00:18 |
| lauratika | is the restore software that uses | 00:19 |
| usr13 | o | 00:19 |
| lauratika | the pc in case there is troubles | 00:19 |
| usr13 | ok | 00:19 |
| lauratika | so that adds 4 partitions and can add one more, i would love to have only ubuntu but warranty wont apply if OS it's changed | 00:19 |
| blackshirt | lauratika, what you mean? | 00:20 |
| lauratika | now my question is how can i move /home to the new partition | 00:20 |
| blackshirt | You can have multiples partitions | 00:20 |
| Cyberspaceloa | lauratika, are you sure that dual booting doesn't void the warranty? | 00:20 |
| lauratika | gparted only aloud 4 partitions | 00:20 |
| TheMiner | Have never heard of an operating system voiding a hardware warranty | 00:20 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Here is some information you will find helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 00:21 |
| blackshirt | Limiting only to 4 partitions was suck | 00:21 |
| OerHeks | 4 primairy partitions, make one extended. | 00:21 |
| lauratika | OerHeks how? | 00:21 |
| usr13 | Cyberspaceloa: A little late for that, isnt' it? | 00:21 |
| lauratika | Cyberspaceloa: can always bring it back to windows only | 00:21 |
| znudee | hello, i've got a problem, on this laptop i'm running ubuntu and the install went without a problem. But I've tried to install it on my stationary computer with windows 7 (as this laptop also has) yet there it locks at the install screen when I try and I've also tried the alternative install cd but that didn't work either.. any help what can be wrong? | 00:22 |
| lauratika | but there is now windows 7 cd or dvd with the pc... | 00:22 |
| TheMiner | znudnee are you trying to run the installer from within Windows or are you booting from the disc? | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | znudee: what video chip do you use? | 00:23 |
| znudee | i've tried both actually, booting from disc with the normal installation and the alternative | 00:23 |
| znudee | i'm using an nvidia gtx 590 | 00:23 |
| TheMiner | did you verify the md5 of the disc? | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | znudee: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 00:24 |
| znudee | yeah, i've used the same disc on this laptop and it worked without any problem | 00:24 |
| znudee | okay thx! :) i'll try that | 00:24 |
| lauratika | TheMiner: in this case yes | 00:24 |
| needhelp1 | just to confirm the youtube lense/scope is not offered in the USC is that correct? | 00:25 |
| TheMiner | Who is the manufacturer? I would love to go and see that warranty | 00:25 |
| lauratika | lenovo | 00:26 |
| tonsofpcs | I've heard of support that refuses to help you if you changed OS but never a warranty fault | 00:26 |
| lauratika | they say warranty may be void if OS changes | 00:27 |
| needhelp1 | lauratika: who is this again? | 00:27 |
| needhelp1 | what vendor | 00:27 |
| blackshirt | because the help support doesn't experience with linux or unix os??? :d | 00:28 |
| blackshirt | They just knowing one OS :d | 00:28 |
| blackshirt | Very stupid | 00:28 |
| lauratika | officedepot | 00:29 |
| lauratika | i know! | 00:29 |
| lauratika | thats what they said | 00:29 |
| needhelp1 | lauratika: are you attempting to return a pc/laptop and they wont take it becuase you installed ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| TheMiner | I would not do business with a manufacturer that would void warranties for someone trying to get out of a closed source operating system | 00:29 |
| lauratika | because OS is not the one came with the pc | 00:29 |
| lauratika | i know, but buyimng this pc was not my choice | 00:30 |
| needhelp1 | lauratika, have you by chance contacted anyone besides the local store? maybe sending an email etc? | 00:30 |
| lauratika | well a extended 3 year warranty was bought with this pc with that vendor | 00:31 |
| lauratika | only applies in officedepot | 00:31 |
| TheMiner | am wondering if MicroShaft is subsidizing the cost of the warranty,....sounds super shady | 00:31 |
| lauratika | well was not cheap the warranty, but they say the hardware is under warranty for 3 years no matter what happens to the pc. | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | Im not sure they can void the warrenty based on what you have installed... | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | could if you agree to it and sign etc | 00:32 |
| lauratika | but original OS may stay the same, i think because of many pirate copys of windows around. | 00:33 |
| needhelp1 | anyone know anything about the youtube unity lense? | 00:33 |
| lauratika | exactly ActionParsnip | 00:33 |
| TheMiner | Yeah I wouldnt put it past a company to do that,...first time I have heard of it,...but wouldnt say it never happens | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | needhelp1: .,... it exists? ;) | 00:33 |
| needhelp1 | any idea if its offically offered via USC? | 00:33 |

| jhave | Hello | 00:33 |
| needhelp1 | dr_willis: really | 00:33 |
| lauratika | also this is funny windows 7 will detect wired lan, but ubuntu wont | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: the PPA supports Oneiric and Precise | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: see above :) | 00:34 |
| dr_willis | Theres a great many more lens added to 12.10 which i am using now... | 00:34 |
| dr_willis | unity-lens-video - Unity Video lens | 00:34 |
| TheMiner | lauratika that one is easy,...the manufacturer made well sure that all of the components had MS signed drivers available before shipping | 00:34 |

| jhave | its primary for servers | 00:35 |
| lauratika | TheMiner now i only can use wireless connection in ubntu | 00:35 |
| lauratika | dont know how to fix it, wired netwrok is gray out | 00:36 |

| Riley88 | hey guys have any of yall had issues with waking from sleep after updating to kernel 3.5.3 on 12.04 | 00:36 |
| Riley88 | for somereason whenever i open my laptop it just flashes white | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: kernel 3.5 is for Quantal, not Precise. We cannot support 3rd party kernels | 00:37 |
| lauratika | ActionParsnip how can i know that with lspci | 00:37 |
| lauratika | ?? | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: run: sudo lshw -C network | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: I suggest you report a bug with the team / individual whom made the kernel | 00:37 |
| Riley88 | dude dobt do that u mean to tell me that out of the 1500 people here no one has experienced that | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its not supported here | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | Not a lot of people mess with the kernel these days.. | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | ive not had to touch it in years.. yes. | 00:38 |
| Riley88 | ]\\\\\\\\\\\] | 00:38 |
| TheMiner | I do's | 00:38 |
| TheMiner | am very literally compiling a new freebsd kernel as we speak | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | well theres always the weird ones.. ;P | 00:39 |
| lauratika | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/ | 00:39 |
| Riley88 | what the hell is this the arch irc | 00:40 |
| lauratika | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/ | 00:40 |
| goddard | is there any way I can upgrade specific parts of my ubuntu install while still maintaining LTS for example the software center? | 00:40 |
| Riley88 | why do u automatically shut someone down when u dont even give someone else time to answer | 00:41 |
| usr13 | lauratika: You can issue this command in a terminal: sudo dhclient eth0 #and probably start up the wired connection. | 00:41 |
| TheMiner | goddard so long as you have all of the necessary dependencies,...and you are not building rockets in your back yard | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: also do you dual boot? | 00:42 |
| lauratika | do a what? | 00:42 |
| lauratika | precise | 00:42 |
| lauratika | is the output | 00:43 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: lauratika has already told us that it is a dual boot system (Win7/Ubuntu). | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: do you run windows on the same system as well as ubuntu | 00:43 |
| goddard | TheMiner: care to elaborate | 00:43 |
| goddard | haha | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: thanks | 00:43 |
| lauratika | yes | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: in windows, disable the network devices ability to wake up the system as well as power management (avaailable in device manager) | 00:43 |
| gr33n7007h | lauratika, Have you tried a simple ifconfig eth0 up | 00:44 |
| === Shadows` is now known as SoulShadow | ||
| lauratika | when trying sudo dhclient eth0: i get RTNETLINK answers: Resource temporarily unavailable | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: try the windows trick. Windows is garbage and may be holding teh device. Its one of the pitfalls of dual booting | 00:45 |
| hwkiller-netbook | use rfkill | 00:45 |
| harris | how do i sync files in my dropbox folder to my flashdrive in linux | 00:45 |
| harris | ubuntu | 00:45 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: I think lauratika sent this to us earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/ | 00:45 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: you can use rsync to duplicate the folder from one place to another | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: yes, saw taht one :D | 00:46 |
| harris | do i have to connect my flash drive everytime | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: look into grsync | 00:46 |
| harris | is that a app | 00:47 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Ok, well, I don't really know what to make of it, so.... | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: yes | 00:47 |
| harris | i have a kingston flashdrive | 00:47 |
| lauratika | usr13: is there something wrong?? | 00:47 |
| harris | if that helps | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: you can run it when you desire and tell the files to be synced over | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: the model is completely irelevant | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: its a flash drive, tahts all we need. | 00:47 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Did you do "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" ? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: try the windows trick, its common | 00:48 |
| harris | i need it to run whenever the drive is connected | 00:48 |
| usr13 | lauratika: ... as gr33n7007h suggested ... | 00:48 |
| harris | and what happens if i plug it into a different port | 00:48 |
| lauratika | SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable | 00:48 |
| Riley88 | actionparsnip your a freakin douchebag do u really think out of the 1500 people in the irc no one else here updates there kernel past percise | 00:48 |
| usr13 | lauratika: I think ActionParsnip might be on to something. | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its not supported here, channel policy | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its literally THAT simple | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its not a kernel from the official ubuntu repos, so its offtopic here | 00:49 |
| Riley88 | and your a douche bag for not even giving somone else time to answer me first | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: if you use 3rd party packages then you can expect issues | 00:49 |
| lauratika | the network is disable and being a desktop there is no power managment | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: contact the creator | 00:49 |
| Riley88 | its a freakin kernel | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its offtopic here, so time is not an issue | 00:50 |
| lauratika | is that what you mean with the windows | 00:50 |
| lauratika | trick} | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: its an unopfficial kernel | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: so offtopic, you are free to go to other channels and discuss | 00:50 |
| usr13 | Riley88: Why don't you try another channel? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: you can even spawn your own channel and discuss there | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: but not here | 00:50 |
| rhombus | Has it ever happened that the Ubuntu install iso was too big to fit on a CD-R, even with overburn? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Riley88: so i'm not a douchebag at all, i'm upholding channel policy. You need to calm down | 00:51 |
| Riley88 | and your being a dick about it | 00:51 |
| theminer | rhombus there are img's made for either cd or for a full dvd | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | rilno, i simply said, it's offtopic | 00:51 |
| usr13 | Richiie: Oh, come on, Really? | 00:51 |
| usr13 | Richiie: Sorry, that was for Riley88 but he's gone now, so, sorry. | 00:52 |
| AndroUser2 | Acrionparsnip I missed whatnot said I accidentally shut down | 00:52 |
| AndroUser2 | I am Harris | 00:52 |
| rhombus | theminer: I know, but that's not quite what I mean. I mean that sometimes, the CD iso is too large to fit on even the biggest CD-R, making it effectively unburnable. Has that ever happened with the Ubuntu isos? | 00:52 |
| theminer | no | 00:53 |
| theminer | They are formatted to fix the specific media | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | AndroUser2: in windows, disable the ability for teh hardware to wake up the system as well as well as disable power management | 00:53 |
| usr13 | rhombus: Are you sure it's not a DVD iso? | 00:53 |
| AndroUser2 | What | 00:53 |
| rhombus | usr13: Full disclosure -- it's a kubuntu iso. | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | AndroUser2: in windows there is an application called device manager | 00:53 |
| theminer | rhombus if you give me the filename of the iso I could help more | 00:53 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, i missed what you said | 00:53 |
| usr13 | rhombus: So, what size is it? | 00:54 |
| harris | what did you say after its a flash drive thats all we need | 00:54 |
| usr13 | rhombus: and what is the name of it? | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | AndroUser2: if you use the mouse and right click (I assume right handedness) you can click 'properties'. You can then use the tabs at teh top of the window to find the options I am naming and uncheck them | 00:54 |
| harris | ActionParsnip, what did you say | 00:54 |
| rhombus | usr13: kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 00:55 |
| ms_daisy | !portugese | 00:55 |
| theminer | dvd | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: as long as it is big enough to hold ~/Dropbox you can duplicate it with grsync whenever you want to take a backup of the folder | 00:55 |
| bazhang | ms_daisy, #ubuntu-pt , or #ubuntu-br | 00:55 |
| ms_daisy | thanks bazhang | 00:56 |
| rhombus | usr13: Size is 703.3 | 00:56 |

| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:56 |
| usr13 | rhombus: From http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download "(the file size is 700MB)" | 00:56 |
| harris | how do i make it sync whenever the drive is plugged in | 00:56 |
| rhombus | usr13: Not today it isn't :) | 00:56 |
| theminer | rhombus maybe a bad download? have you checksumed the hash? | 00:56 |
| rhombus | theminer: yep | 00:57 |
| usr13 | rhombus: md5sum kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso #And google the checksum | 00:57 |
| MrEmerald | So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out. After that it goes to a screen that is distorted, and afer waiting a few seconds just goes to a blank screen where it makes a noise and just doesn't boot up. How do I fix this? | 00:57 |
| rhombus | apparently, this has happened before with sub-distros of Ubuntu | 00:57 |
| rhombus | usr13: Done that already, the checksum is good. | 00:57 |
| harris | so everytime i click synce will it resync everything | 00:57 |
| harris | so its there 2 times | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: in the GUI, yes (once you set it up) | 00:58 |
| harris | what? | 00:58 |
| harris | is gui | 00:58 |
| harris | and i only want it to update the current info | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: yes, grsync is a GUI for rsync | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: you can use rsync in CLI if you like | 00:58 |
| harris | i only want it to be once | 00:59 |
| histo | harris: rsync -av /path/to/source /path/to/desitination | 00:59 |
| harris | and if i update a file it to update and if i add a new file it to be there | 00:59 |
| Myke974_ | help! i had kernel.shmall and kernel.shmax entries to /etc/sysctl.conf aand now ubuntu stop booting : CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code =-12 | 00:59 |
| Myke974_ | i removed the entries without success | 00:59 |
| harris | i am syncing for the first time so how do i sync after this | 00:59 |
| MrEmerald | So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out. After that it goes to a screen that is distorted, and afer waiting a few seconds just goes to a blank screen where it makes a noise and just doesn't boot up. How do I fix this? | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: yes, you can use grsync to run it once | 01:00 |
| zykotick9 | Myke974_: cifs is samba isn't it? take your smb mounts out of fstab (if you have any). | 01:00 |
| usr13 | rhombus: Well, that looks to be accurate. If you look at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/precise/release/ near the bottom, it says: "703M" for that ISO. I assume it will fit. What burning sofrware are you using? | 01:01 |
| harris | under advanced there is an option called only update existing files what does that do | 01:01 |
| usr13 | rhombus: Do you have 700M CDs? | 01:01 |
| Myke974_ | zykotick9: i have 2 important mount in fstab i can't remove | 01:02 |
| histo | harris: that's what rsync does it only copies changes to files that are present. If the file doesn't exist at all it will transfer the whole thing. | 01:02 |
| rhombus | usr13: I'm using k3b. The nominal size of the CD-Rs is 700 MB. The iso is exactly 703.3 MB, which is 0.5 MB shy of k3b's hard limit of 702.8 MB for that CD-R. | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | Myke974_: samba mounts? | 01:02 |
| histo | rhombus: do you have a spare thumb drive laying around? | 01:03 |
| usr13 | rhombus: Do you have the 700M CDs, or some old 650M ones? | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: it only copies new files rather than al files | 01:03 |
| harris | so all i have to do is press sync and it works | 01:03 |
| Myke974_ | zykotick9 :1 is for a ramdisk and the other is a windows shared folder but it seems my pprb is memory related | 01:04 |
| harris | does it also update old | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: yes | 01:04 |
| rhombus | histo: not one without important data on it. I was kinda hoping to do this with a CD-R. I am trying to report a bug at the kubuntu page, but they don't make it easy. | 01:04 |
| zykotick9 | Myke974_: well, good luck then. <i won't see any further of your issue, so don't reply to me> | 01:04 |
| harris | so i should check it | 01:04 |
| usr13 | rhombus: I don't know really, just speculating / guessing at a possible problem. | 01:04 |
| rhombus | usr13: I have the 700 MB CD-Rs. | 01:04 |
| harris | i need this flash drive for school | 01:04 |
| TARE | Hi! I have several propblems starting up apps after upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 12.04. It seems they are related to Apparmor. Can anyoane help me please? | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: well if there is no data on the usb then it won't make a difference | 01:04 |
| rhombus | usr13: I think the problem is that whoever made the iso goofed and didn't check that it was within the size limit for the standard. | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | harris: if you use it data and don't check it, you will copy the same data to the same files which is a bit pointless | 01:05 |
| harris | i already synced it so next time i sync | 01:05 |
| rhombus | usr13: and... since this has happened before and was logged as a bug and fixed... | 01:05 |
| usr13 | rhombus: Ok, well there you go. | 01:05 |
| rhombus | usr13: I was wondering if it was just a sub-distro problem, or if it happens to the core Ubuntu isos also. | 01:06 |
| Myke974_ | zykotick9: seems you are right ! once i added thoses memory entries the samab shares went mad | 01:06 |
| Myke974_ | *samba | 01:06 |
| Bomboz819 | hello people im trying to install tight vnc to putty ssh command | 01:07 |

| harris | last thing is there an easy way to convert odt to docx | 01:08 |
| MrEmerald | So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out.

| Jordan_U | MrEmerald: You can't even boot into Windows? | 01:12 |
| MrEmerald | Jordan_U: I can boot into windows | 01:13 |
| MrEmerald | just not ubuntu | 01:13 |
| MrEmerald | and I can't find my specs :/ | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | MrEmerald: Then just boot into Windows, uninstall Wubi (after backing up any documents you have in your Wubi installation first), and install Ubuntu normally. | 01:13 |
| MrEmerald | The thing was for some reason I can't install on a disc, and my flash drive wasn't booting properly | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | MrEmerald: What happened when you tried to boot from the USB drive? How did you create the USB drive? | 01:14 |

| Jordan_U | MrEmerald: I asked two questions. You only answered one :) | 01:16 |
| MrEmerald | Jordan_U: When I tried to boot from the usb drive the boot failed, just sat on a blank screen | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MrEmerald: tried the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | MrEmerald: What did you see before the blank screen? | 01:17 |
| MrEmerald | it was the try, install, etc screen | 01:17 |
| MrEmerald | ActionParsnip: boot option? | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | MrEmerald: yes | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | !nomodeset | MrEmerald | 01:18 |
| ubottu | MrEmerald: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:18 |

| jagginess | Kaori, oh that.. that's another story.. you'll have to look at tools like dd_rescue.. | 01:56 |
| tucemiux | Kaori, slave the drive to another machine or use one of those gizmos that allow you to connect the hard drive as a USB device | 01:56 |
| usr13 | tucemiux: Kaori "usb adapter" | 01:56 |
| Kaori | is it true that the more I access files off the HD the more files I lose? | 01:56 |

| jagginess | Kaori, real linux people use dd_rescue, and go hardcore | 01:57 |
| tucemiux | Kaori, you forgot to mention - what OS is installed on the drive? on linux systems you typically backup "/home" directories, on windows system their profile - it depends if you have win7 or xp | 01:57 |
| zelrik | hylian, between linux machines yes | 01:57 |
| zelrik | not with windows | 01:58 |
| zelrik | oh | 01:58 |
| usr13 | Kaori: It depends. Sometimes the problem is that the drive overheats and will no longer read. In which case, you get it nice and cool, hook it up and quickly download files from it, (sometimes you'll only have 5 minutes or so before it quits again). | 01:58 |
| zelrik | I didnt have system-config-samba installed | 01:58 |
| hylian | zelrik: ahh, I see. Yeah, samba probably isn't installed then. I am assuming then that you used ubuntu software center or apt-get to install it? | 01:58 |
| tucemiux | TUplink, but what does samba have to do with ubuntu? o.O | 01:58 |
| zelrik | yeah | 01:58 |

| TUplink | i dont see COMPUTERNAME$ just a hunch | 01:59 |

| krionic | zelrick: I just finished setting up my samba on the latest ubuntu lts. From windows 7, I brought up the run command and typed in \\SERVER_NAME[Enter] to bring up my server. Have you tried that? | 02:10 |
| AndChat|49209 | How to install to web server in home? | 02:10 |
| zelrik | I dont know the server name | 02:11 |
| hylian | hypermux: most apps on ubuntu use the conf files in /etc as more of a "oops i deleted my conf file" spot than the actual working conf file. there's a good chance that the conf file you want to edit is in the /home directory, hidden. I would read the man files for it. | 02:11 |
| jagginess | zelrik, \\<ip> can work too. | 02:11 |
| hypermux | hylian: are you speaking of upstart or something unrelated?:) | 02:12 |
| usr13 | hypermux: man update-rc.d | 02:12 |
| hylian | jagginess: really? that's a great feature. now you can try and force windows hand by feeding it the ip addy aye? cool. | 02:12 |
| hypermux | usr13: my understanding what upstart used inotify to check for .conf file changes | 02:13 |
| * jagginess uses a lan dns server, \\<dns hostname> works too | 02:13 | |
| hypermux | usr13: and update-rc.d seems to be for the systemV stuff | 02:13 |
| krionic | zelrick: for me, it used my computer's host name. Open up a terminal and type "hostname" to get your computer's name | 02:13 |
| hylian | ohh man, my guts are killing me. time to take some meds and pass out. sorry all, goodbye. | 02:14 |
| hyperair | hi. i've recently had trouble logging into lightdm -- after keyign in my password, it behaves like it's going to log me in, and then X terminates and i'm back at the login screen. Xorg.$DISPLAY.log shows that it terminated properly though, so it's not an X issue. | 02:15 |
| krionic | I have a question concerning bcache. Does the installation process wipe the data on the backing device? | 02:15 |
| usr13 | AndChat|49209: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 02:15 |
| AndChat|49209 | Thanks usr13 | 02:16 |

| krionic | lisa-e: I have recovered a corrupted ext4 before, but I can't find the instructions I used. Sorry. For what it's worth, if you have files you just HAVE to recover, I have used a program called scalpel to recover pictures from a drive that had been reformatted. | 02:50 |
| Brick3d | I have heard good things about Recuva I think it is. | 02:50 |
| Halfalife | Does that work in Linux? | 02:51 |
| Halfalife | I've used it in Windows, and it worked beautifully. | 02:51 |
| Brick3d | I believe it is native Linux. | 02:51 |
| krionic | anyone here ever use bcache? | 02:51 |
| Halfalife | No, sorry. | 02:51 |
| Brick3d | I think it even comes on Backtrack | 02:51 |
| Halfalife | Really? | 02:51 |
| Halfalife | Under Forensics, maybe? | 02:51 |
| Brick3d | I would have to check though | 02:51 |

| mindbender1 | how can I determine which command a particular keyboard shortcut is bound to? | 02:54 |
| Brick3d | Mindbender, you can usually check Keyboard Properties to see. | 02:54 |
| jagginess | mindbender1, for bash/ | 02:55 |
| jagginess | mindbender1, ? | 02:55 |
| mindbender1 | jagginess: no, for system level shortcuts like Alt+TAB | 02:56 |
| Halfalife | Alright, this is strange... | 02:56 |
| Brick3d | Hmmm.... Thats an interesting question | 02:56 |
| Halfalife | Well, you can change them with compiz-config and the like. | 02:56 |
| jagginess | mindbender1, should say in systemsettings/keyb (then one of the tabs) | 02:56 |
| Halfalife | But other than that, not sure. | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mindbender1: hold the superL key down for a long while and you will see | 02:57 |
| mindbender1 | ActionParsnip: superL? | 02:58 |
| jagginess | mindbender1, that's the windowslogo key | 02:58 |
| mindbender1 | jagginess: oh, ok | 02:58 |
| mindbender1 | ActionParsnip: the information given there is a bit useless | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mindbender1: aka 'windows key' | 03:00 |
| Brick3d | Anyone have any idea why my screen starts displaying random color pixels when I use my hardware keys for Screen Brightness? | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mindbender1: aka 'Mod4' | 03:00 |
| krionic | anyone here ever use bcache? | 03:01 |
| mindbender1 | ActionParsnip: I understand, I meant the actual info given after holding superL | 03:01 |
| * jagginess thinks krionic, is asking for more than 3 times the same question | 03:01 | |
| Brick3d | I havent used bcache b4. | 03:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mindbender1: if you have all windows minimized, the shortcuts set will display | 03:01 |
| Brick3d | Whats it do? | 03:01 |
| mindbender1 | what do they mean by switch windows. i need to know what command it is calling | 03:01 |
| jagginess | Brick3d, recuva what is that? | 03:02 |
| jagginess | "<Brick3d> I have heard good things about Recuva I think it is." | 03:02 |
| mindbender1 | like in emacs | 03:02 |
| mindbender1 | where you can do C-h k | 03:02 |
| krionic | Brick3d: bcache lets you use an ssd drive to cache data being sent to RAM for faster response. | 03:02 |
| IcemanV9 | mindbender1: ctrl+alt+arrows (up, down, left or right)? | 03:02 |
| Brick3d | Recuva is a forensics program for finding files after they have been deleted or formatted | 03:03 |

| Brick3d | I meant to say Foremost | 03:04 |
| jagginess | it isn't anything close to being on linux AT ALL. | 03:04 |
| jagginess | neither is foremost | 03:04 |

| Jak_Atackka | Hello! I'm having audio problems with Sid Meier's Civilization 5. I've already tried disabling pulseaudio | 03:05 |
| jaime | Quick question for the experts... Running Precise Pangolin and I'm trying to figure out how to add a shortcut to a wine program... | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Brick3d: if you keep good backups, it makes foremost redundant | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jaime: the way I have done it in the past is make a bash script to run the application, then make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications to run the script | 03:08 |
| Brick3d | Foremost isnt redundant if you are using it to recover information from someone elses drive | 03:08 |
| Brick3d | Either in legal precedings or just helping a friend | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Brick3d: true but they should have backups if the data is important, its that simple | 03:08 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: But what if they have a small hard drive, and can't afford to back up their data? | 03:09 |
| jaime | Everything I've seen online says to right-click on the desktop and select "Create Launcher" but I don't see that as a choice. | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: foremost needs another location to spit the resulting files to | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: you can use ubuntuone and dropbox as free backup storage if the drive is small | 03:10 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: Not if you have a crappy internet connection | 03:10 |
| Brick3d | Or if you have sensitive information that you need to back up | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: you still need a partition mounted writable to extract the data to | 03:10 |
| Jak_Atackka | Well, anyways, does anyone know why Sid Meier's Civ 5 has no sound? | 03:12 |
| Brick3d | Do you have sound in other programs? | 03:12 |
| Jak_Atackka | Every other one | 03:13 |
| Brick3d | Could be something to do with how Wine is running the program | 03:13 |
| Brick3d | Maybe change the audio settings for WIne? | 03:13 |
| Jak_Atackka | I have a few other Wine programs with working sound | 03:13 |
| jagginess | wine sux | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jaime: if you copy a .desktop file from ~/.config/autostart and modify it, you can make it run what you want. | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jagginess: some apps run better than windows under wine | 03:15 |
| ev_ | zykotick9: just to be clear, i can detach: ctrl a, d | 03:15 |
| Brick3d | Jak_Attacka: Have you tried running that program using PlayOnLinux? | 03:15 |
| Brick3d | Or Crossover? | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: is there anyting in the appdb about the sound? | 03:16 |
| abro21 | when i change my power settings they don't change on my computer. i.e. when i set "When the lid is closed: Do nothing" I | 03:16 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: appdb? | 03:16 |
| abro21 | I'll close my computer and it sleeps | 03:17 |

| zelrik | hi | 03:18 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: There is only one suggested fix, and it didn't work | 03:18 |

| zelrik | to a win7 computer | 03:18 |
| Jak_Atackka | Brick3d: I don't have the money to spare, unfortunately | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: yes, there are little tidbits of guides on how to make apps work in wine as well as user experiences of apps. It may not even be able to get sound under wine, some apps refuse to even install. It should be the first place you look when messing with wine | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrik: what are you using to connect? | 03:19 |
| Ph1rmw4r3 | hi xangua | 03:19 |
| zelrik | ActionParsnip, I am using the following command: smbclient -L <ip> | 03:19 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: I've looked at that before, and it appears that the sound bug is sporadic and only affects a few people. I have a terrible internet connection, so redownloading it is only a last resort | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zelrik: if you run: smbtree do you see the share? | 03:20 |
| zelrik | I can ping that ip without problem | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Jak_Atackka: i'd ask in #winehq too | 03:20 |
| Jak_Atackka | ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks | 03:20 |

| DG_ | guys, is the blue chromium app the REAL chrome or should i actually download it, im so confused | 03:32 |
| jaime | I'm a bit of a Linux n00b... | 03:32 |
| Halfalife | Chromium is an open-source implementation of Chrome. | 03:32 |
| === corey_ is now known as Guest9952 | ||
| Halfalife | As long as you're downloading from the official repository, you should be fine. | 03:32 |
| Halfalife | And yes, it has a blue icon. | 03:32 |
| DG_ | i downloaded it from the ubuntu software center | 03:33 |
| xangua | Halfalife: it's chrome who gets it's source from chromium | 03:33 |
| Halfalife | Yes, but when I said implementation. | 03:33 |
| Halfalife | I just mean that it's the open-source alternative. | 03:34 |
| Halfalife | Didn't Google write the source, anyways? | 03:34 |
| Halfalife | So Chrome doesn't as much "get its source from Chromium" as it shares it. | 03:34 |
| Guddu | When i add a USB Printer....Can it show up as LPT#1 in the Device Screen when we press Add Printer? | 03:35 |
| DG_ | so basically if i downloaded it from the ubuntu software center im safe? | 03:36 |
| Halfalife | Yes. | 03:36 |
| Halfalife | Assuming you didn't add a sketchy source at some point. | 03:36 |
| rypervenche | Like a PPA. | 03:36 |
| DG_ | add a sketchy source? | 03:36 |
| DG_ | i JUST installed ubuntu lol | 03:36 |
| Halfalife | Oh, yeah, you're fine then. | 03:36 |
| rypervenche | Then you're good. | 03:36 |
| DG_ | alright sweet | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jaime: run: gksudo nautilus $HOME and you should be able to | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: chromium is the open source chrome, its fine. the bugs reported in chromium go on to make chrome | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: snapshots of chromium are taken the some proprietary lumps get added and it makes the next release of chrome | 03:38 |
| DG_ | alright cool, i just didnt want to get my google account hacked lmao | 03:39 |
| DG_ | also, how can i make a picture my background? is it just right click it or do i have to add it to like a backgrounds file :/ | 03:40 |
| Halfalife | In Ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: you can use the chrome browser if you want, there is a deb supplied by google for both 64bit and 32bit Ubuntu | 03:40 |
| Halfalife | Which DE? | 03:40 |
| Halfalife | You can probably right-click on desktop, and there'll be an option. | 03:41 |
| Halfalife | That's how it is in Xubuntu, not sure in Unity. | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | unity isn't a DE | 03:41 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| Halfalife | Yeah, sorry. | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | :) it's cool </nitpicking> | 03:42 |
| Halfalife | I'd just like to interject for a moment... | 03:42 |
| DG_ | well i guess ill just use chromium lol | 03:42 |
| Halfalife | But what you're referring to as Unity is, etc, etc. | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Halfalife: its a shell for gnome | 03:43 |
| Halfalife | Yeah, I'm aware. | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/eula.html?platform=linux&hl=en | 03:44 |
| Halfalife | As I said, I just consider it a DE. | 03:44 |
| DG_ | thanks, i already got it | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Itd be nice if you could run it without a DE, like you can with openbox / fluxbox etc, that'd be awesome | 03:45 |
| Hwkiller | you can | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Hwkiller: really? | 03:45 |
| Hwkiller | it's just a compiz plugin | 03:45 |
| Hwkiller | you can run compiz standalone | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Hwkiller: wouldn't you need gnome installed to run compiz though | 03:45 |
| Hwkiller | not at all | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhh, wasnt aware | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm, may have to play later | 03:45 |
| Hwkiller | I ran compiz standalone on arch for a long time. it was nice | 03:46 |
| DG_ | brb | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Hwkiller: yeah, there are a few guides | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | looks like the future | 03:47 |
| hylian | anyone have a way to permanently show the shutdown button on gnome 3 without using the alt key? | 03:47 |
| Hwkiller | no... definitely not the future | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Hwkiller: thanks man | 03:47 |
| Hwkiller | hylian: there is a plugin on the extension website for that | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | same guff, fewer resources. Sounds ideam | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ideal | 03:48 |
| blackshirt | why on apt-get update process this error was happen W: GPG error InRelease: Unknown error executing gpgv | 03:48 |
| hylian | Hwkiller: what website is that, gnome's website? | 03:48 |
| blackshirt | ? | 03:48 |
| Hwkiller | https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: can you give a pastebin of the full output of: sudo apt-get update Thanks | 03:48 |
| Hwkiller | ActionParsnip: except that a window manager by itself isn't that useful unless you know what you're doing | 03:49 |
| hylian | Hwkiller: thanks Hwkiller! | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Hwkiller: true but a default install could set it up nice for you :) | 03:49 |

| Bomboz819 | iknow i dont need gui but i wand one | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: why | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: it makes your server less responsive, less secure and use more resources than it needs to | 04:22 |
| Bomboz819 | because am not very good to command line am a noob | 04:22 |
| anti-freeze | Bomboz819, you could go for a window manager if you're picky with performance | 04:23 |
| Bomboz819 | <anti-freeze> windows dont stop ddos and flood attacks | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: so you are going to put a gui on 'cos you are a noob' but then you will never learn, so you will stay 'a noob' | 04:23 |
| anti-freeze | Bomboz819, but XFCE is a full desktop environment and complete. You can find it with Xubuntu | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: the gui gains you nothing | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: and your reason for wanting it will actually keep your skills down and you will never learn, its a lose lose | 04:24 |
| King_Cobra | ahh.. that's better.. no more mint..thank you very much Action | 04:24 |
| Bomboz819 | <anti-freeze> is it easy to install and start up | 04:24 |

| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: fine, install lxde and use vnc, you are holding yourself back, but hey your choice (no matter how ill educated it may be) | 04:26 |
| anti-freeze | Bomboz819, 12.04? | 04:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: yuo will then need to make vnc run before all this happens so you can connect to it | 04:27 |
| anti-freeze | Bomboz819, This is a guide with ISPConfig 3, but there are more guides on the site, like LAMP servers | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: basically its a lot of heartache, far more work for a noob than just following steb by step guides with commands to copy and paste, but hey 'you're a noob' as you say | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Bomboz819: you are going to have to run and configure the desktop OS frmo the server OS and configure lightdm and vnc all from cpmmand line so you can get a desktop to 'make life easier', it makes no sense at all | 04:29 |
| anti-freeze | ActionParsnip, you have to start somewhere man, its better than trying to do things in a UI when you can learn the commands through the guide... if you spend the time to learn the commands ofcourse | 04:29 |
| DG_ | does this channel have a specific port? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | anti-freeze: but the desktop wil need configging from CLI anyway, requiring just as much work as if you just configure the apps from cli without the desktop | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DG_: the port for irc is 6667 you then join the channel once you connect | 04:30 |

| odisus | hello | 05:12 |
| odisus | I was wondering if its possible to make shortcuts to programs from the dash? I looked all over online and it told me to install ubuntu tweak but it doesnt do the trick | 05:13 |
| odisus | maybe im just doing it wrong.. | 05:13 |

| ebs512 | I am having the most difficult time installing themes or finding full themes for ubuntu 12.04 lts | 05:19 |
| odisus | I just installed ubuntu 12.04 | 05:19 |
| odisus | Not sure how themes work either | 05:19 |
| odisus | I did hear that ubuntu tweak does fix some issues | 05:19 |
| odisus | http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | odisus: ubuntu tweak is pretty cool | 05:20 |
| odisus | I'm trying to find a way to make desktop shortcuts from the dash... | 05:20 |
| ebs512 | odisus it says * For Ubuntu 11.04 and before: old versions | 05:20 |
| odisus | D= | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | odisus: if you run: nautilus /usr/share/applications you can copy and paste the items to the desktop | 05:21 |
| odisus | Thank you mister ActionParsnip | 05:21 |
| odisus | I find it kinda silly how u are suspose to use terminal for something that is suspose to be simple like dragging an icon to a screen | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | odisus: ideally it would have a right click, Its just one way I know it will work | 05:22 |
| odisus | yea | 05:22 |
| ebs512 | ActionParsnip how do I make a launcher shortcut with root permissions so I can just click the icon and it will let me edit files in the file system | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: in the exec line, prefix the command with 'gksudo' | 05:23 |

| Guddu | Has anyone used Static IP for their Ubuntu Machine? If you could help me configuring this please. | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: you can use network manager | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: set the interface to manual and you can specify ip, subnet and dns there | 05:29 |
| === Guest26042 is now known as dweez | ||
| wolfric | Guddu: man interfaces | 05:29 |
| wolfric | there's an example in there. the file is in /etc/network/interfaces | 05:29 |
| Guddu | Thanks ActionParsnip wolfric | 05:30 |
| wolfric | just place it below whatever's there already | 05:30 |
| odisus | I just recently installed ubuntu, any recommendations to what I should install/set up | 05:32 |
| wolfric | Guddu: http://pastebin.com/EaPsDZL8 here's a quick example | 05:32 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip wolfric in network Manager GUI i see a option 'Shared to Other Computers'....What would that mean? | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: no, right click the icon in the panel and select 'edit connections' | 05:33 |
| Guddu | Thanks wolfric I will try that now | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: i got rid of the square mouse pointer with nomodeset, but compiz is completly unworkable, no wobbly windows, laucher icon size big again etc..its all laggy | 05:33 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip: What panel? I am on Unity and I am finding it difficult to find anything easily | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: top panel, on the right | 05:34 |
| linocisco | hi all, I have Canon LJ3050 USB printer, I want to make it network printer and share it for windows client. I want to know how to. I also want to know if I need to make my windows machine as workgroup or join linux domain | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | linocisco: can ubuntu print to it ok? | 05:34 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip: Right...There are multiple methods listed under IPV4 Settings....One of them is shared to other computers...what does that mean? | 05:35 |
| wolfric | Guddu: http://www.multimediaboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/networkmanagerapplet.png | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: under ipv4 settings, set the connection to manual and you can set the IP | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: http://wiki.dave.eu/index.php/File:DVDK_Ubuntu_Network_Configuration_3.png | 05:36 |
| wolfric | Guddu: exactly what it sounds like. Especially useful if you had internet from say, dialup or wifi | 05:36 |
| wolfric | and you wanted to share it with the local network | 05:36 |
| lotuspsychje | is it normal for nomodeset to disable compiz? | 05:37 |
| Guddu | wolfric: If i configure a Static IP with the values as in http://pastebin.com/EaPsDZL8 then I hope I will not lose internet connectivity? | 05:38 |
| DG_ | hi :) | 05:38 |
| wolfric | Guddu: well obviously you need to change your ips and gateway | 05:38 |
| === christopher is now known as Guest31459 | ||
| wolfric | Guddu: wait, why are you setting a static ip? | 05:38 |
| wolfric | did someone tell you you needed a static ip for your internet? | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: you can run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail to define DNS :) | 05:39 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: left out / before etc | 05:39 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Basically my requirement is to have a UBUNTU PC installed at a client's site...The PC should have internet also and the PC runs apache which should be accessible by other users on the network.

| Guest31459 | Thanks lotus i am checking that out now | 05:41 |
| lotuspsychje | np | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: true | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: it's easy to remember | 05:43 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Ok....I would need some help in finding out my parameters for Subnet Mask and gateway etc ... My current settings are as in image at http://imgur.com/kgaJO | 05:43 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip: ^ Your help please | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: isn't that your ISP's connection, or do you have the same IP each tuime? | 05:45 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip: Yes. It is my ISP. But IP would change each time I am sure. | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: then you want to use DHCP for that interface | 05:45 |
| Guddu | ActionParsnip: With DHCP won't my IP change after restart? | 05:46 |
| wolfric | Guddu: you should ask your isp about this | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: yes but your connection doesn't have a static IP | 05:47 |
| wolfric | Guddu: as far as i know, it should be fine technically speaking as the dhcp server should see what ips are taken but you may end up just collding with an ip | 05:47 |
| wolfric | say if your connection goes down, that ip will be given away | 05:48 |
| Guddu | wolfric: ISP will not really help me. Even less in this part of the world. | 05:48 |
| wolfric | when your connection comes back, you may cause disruption for both you and the person previously with the ip | 05:48 |
| wolfric | Guddu: that's probably because they haven't given you a static ip so you shouldn't be using one | 05:48 |
| bbk | how to create startup disk(cd) from ubuntu terminal? | 05:48 |

| Guddu | I am using apache to render | 05:49 |
| bbk | yes | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bbk: you can use wodim in terminal to burn CD in terminal | 05:49 |
| Guddu | dyndns..Thanks.... looking up what it is. | 05:49 |
| smw | bbk, sudo cdrecord -v the.iso | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: or no-ip | 05:49 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, is wodim better than cdrecord? | 05:49 |
| wolfric | Guddu: dynamic dns, you have a client sitting on your computer and it registers you a free dns (or you can pay for a better one) that updates to your current ip when your ip changes | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guddu: both services have a client app to update the IP with th service so if your IP does change the service gets notified | 05:50 |
| wolfric | so you use something like guddu.dyndns.info | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: its different, not necessarily better, depends what features you need | 05:50 |
| ebs512 | ActionParsnip how do I get this theme, there isn't a download for it http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ubuntu-12.04?before=1343608273 | 05:50 |

| wolfric | Guddu: i'm very interested to know what kind of connection you have that allows a client running ubuntu desktop with a 1gbps connection to get a public ip... | 05:51 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Instead of going through internet, can i somehow create a LAN instead? So that network latency can be avoided? | 05:51 |
| wolfric | Guddu: do you have a lan? | 05:52 |
| Guddu | wolfric: I am using VTR | 05:52 |
| Guddu | www.vtr.cl is the service provider | 05:52 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Thats 1000 Mb/s ...I really don'y know how it arrived at that value though | 05:52 |
| wolfric | oh right, you have a router and the router just hands out public ips then yeah? | 05:53 |
| Guddu | speedtest.net shows 18Mbps Download | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: the icon theme is the default gnome one (not humanity) with a glossy wallpaper and a dock, as well as gnome-panel instead of Unity | 05:53 |
| wolfric | no 1000Mbps is the local connection to the router/switch | 05:53 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Yes. a Modem provided by ISP...that modem allows upto 4 PCs to be connected using Wi-Fi and 4 Sockets for Ethernet Cable Out | 05:53 |
| ebs512 | I can do all of that on Ubuntu 12.04? | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: could be avant-window-navigator times 2 | 05:53 |
| wolfric | does it not do nat no? | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: sure. I'd start with a base of XFCE and build up | 05:54 |
| === md_5|away is now known as md_5 | ||
| Guddu | wolfric: nat no? Was that for me? | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: the thing on the right is just conky, there are lots of configs for that | 05:54 |
| ebs512 | I just want a digital effect like that for a theme | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: how do you mean? If you ask the guy for the wallpaper you'll probably have a desktop you like as unity will theme to the wallpaper | 05:56 |
| wolfric | GabrieleV: yeah | 05:56 |
| wolfric | woops | 05:56 |
| wolfric | Guddu: the dyndns will still work on the local lan. The address is the only thing that will go over the internet | 05:56 |
| ebs512 | what is XFCE? | 05:56 |
| wolfric | Guddu: if you're getting public ips, i'd make sure you're firewalled btw | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: a different desktop to the default gnome | 05:57 |
| ebs512 | It says I have Unity2D and Unity2D installed | 05:58 |
| ebs512 | Unity2D Panel* | 05:58 |
| Guddu | wolfric: You mean if i use dyn-dns then the Client PCs will resolve the Server IP Address through internet only once and then all the communication will happpen locally and not over internet? | 05:58 |
| wolfric | Guddu: yeah | 05:59 |
| Guddu | wolfric: dyndns is a paid service. Is there a free solution for my requirement? | 05:59 |
| wolfric | dyndns has a free solution | 05:59 |
| wolfric | huh apparently not | 06:00 |
| mindstorm | t doesn't anymore? | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | noip is free, there is also noip2 which you can install on ubuntu to update the IP with | 06:01 |
| wolfric | Guddu: http://www.no-ip.com/personal/ | 06:01 |
| wolfric | i think if you originally had one it's free or the free setting is hidden | 06:01 |
| wolfric | i only a day or two ago got a notice about my free one | 06:01 |
| Guddu | wolfric: So that means that the users willl access the no-ip hostname .....? One more question...Iif my machine's IP changes then how long will it take for no-ip hostname to start pointing to new IP? | 06:02 |
| wolfric | few seconds? | 06:02 |
| ebs512 | oh okay now I know what you are talking about ActionParsnip, which one would you say has the cpu displays on the right and a windows style taskbar on the bottom? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ebs512: conky | 06:02 |
| somsip | Guddu: a few seconds, but then you have propagation to all nameservers. Can take a while but not sure if no-ip are quick or slow | 06:02 |

| Guddu | wolfric: If i use no-ip and If the internet connectivity is lost then my Client PCs will not be able to connect to Ubuntu server using hostname. Is that right? | 06:22 |
| wolfric | Guddu: no the hostname should update that's the whole point | 06:22 |
| wolfric | if your connectivity is lost however and stays lost, everything should work fine for a while | 06:23 |
| wolfric | depending on the dhcp lease time of the router and whether the client has looked it up before | 06:23 |
| ebs512 | wolfric is there a way to reset the username and password for no-ip2 because it keeps telling me I am entering it wrong | 06:23 |
| wolfric | ebs512: check the website | 06:23 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Is there a way i can take internet out of the equation and just go via a local router? Internet connectvity is not very stable here :) | 06:24 |
| Guddu | I am consufed about the configuration | 06:24 |
| wolfric | Guddu: not unless you run nat | 06:24 |
| wolfric | nat gives you private ips on your local network | 06:24 |
| wolfric | Guddu: forgive me if i'm wrong, but you don't sound like you'd be confident changing that on the router | 06:25 |
| wolfric | if you screw up, you could disconnect yourself from the internet. in fact, intially you WILL be disconnected | 06:25 |
| Guddu | wolfric: My only requirement to have internet is to be able to send some emails via SMTP using a Python script to some predefined emails. I can make a attempt to change stuff on router with some guidance and reading. This would be my first time doing it though. | 06:26 |
| wolfric | do you know what nat is? | 06:26 |
| wolfric | also, can you afford a home router? (an additional one) | 06:26 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Buying a home router is ok.... | 06:27 |
| Guddu | NAT..I just know the full form | 06:27 |
| wolfric | i've no idea what sort of router you currently have, but if it can do nat instead, great. if it can't a generic home router attached to it and then everyone connects to it would do the trick | 06:27 |
| tejpalsingh | hi | 06:27 |
| blackshirt | hi tejpalsingh | 06:28 |
| tejpalsingh | hi | 06:28 |
| wolfric | Guddu: basically instead of everyone getting a public ip, everyone gets a private ip on the local network and when you try connect to the internet, it translates on the fly the source and destination to make it look like all connections are coming from your public ip | 06:28 |
| wolfric | but it means if the internet goes, you still have your internal ips and they work. they can also be static to your hearts content | 06:28 |
| Guddu | wolfric: That's exactly what i need :) | 06:28 |
| Guddu | wolfric: The home router sits between the PC and the ISP Provided modem? | 06:29 |
| wolfric | well between everyone | 06:29 |
| wolfric | Guddu: you'd need everyone to connect to the home pc instead of the isp provided modem | 06:30 |
| BentFranklin | Want to run a job at startup. Edit rc.local or use @reboot in crontab? | 06:30 |
| wolfric | to the home router* | 06:30 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Sounds ok | 06:30 |
| wolfric | so you'd have <isp> --- <modem> --- <home router> --everyone on your local network | 06:31 |
| ebs512 | it tells me I have no hosts available for my user so how do I create some? | 06:31 |
| wolfric | which if they're using wifi, would need to use the home router's wifi | 06:31 |
| Guddu | Ok | 06:31 |
| wolfric | ebs512: look on the website | 06:31 |
| wolfric | Guddu: if there's a store that has them near by, just ask if they have a wan port which is easiest | 06:32 |
| Guddu | wolfric: In this setup, at what all places will i have to do manual configuration of IPs or things of that sort? | 06:32 |
| ebs512 | well that's how I add them, how do I know which ones to add? | 06:32 |

| wolfric | Guddu: well if you go to the home router's config page (just put its private ip into a browser), it'll normally have a dhcp page with a predefined range | 06:33 |
| wolfric | that range will usually not fit the whole range of the subnet | 06:33 |
| Guddu | wolfric: Ok.... | 06:33 |
| wolfric | so for instance, you may have any ip from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254 but dhcp only gives out the ranges of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 | 06:33 |
| Guddu | ok | 06:33 |
| wolfric | so just pick an ip outside of that range | 06:33 |
| fragmachine | hello? | 06:34 |
| ebs512 | I'm not quite sure why I need no-ip to change desktops? | 06:34 |
| wolfric | ebs512: change desktops? | 06:34 |
| fragmachine | hey where is the system menu in 12.04? | 06:34 |
| wolfric | ebs512: you do realise we were suggesting Guddu use noip not you but since you were interested we just let you know the details | 06:34 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: gnome? | 06:35 |
| ebs512 | oh lmao sorry about the confusion on my behalf, didn't realize lol | 06:35 |
| fragmachine | yes I think so, how do I check? | 06:35 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: try applications menu and under the "other" heading | 06:36 |
| fragmachine | I don't have an applications menu | 06:36 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: did you previously have a systems menu..? | 06:36 |
| lauratika | does any one knows how to set autovpn? | 06:37 |
| fragmachine | wolfric: no I just installed ubuntu, I remember it being there on 11 | 06:37 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: not here any more, try click the top right part of the screen | 06:38 |
| wolfric | the power button | 06:38 |
| wolfric | should be a settings bit there | 06:38 |
| wolfric | going by memory, don't use unity so i may be a little off | 06:38 |
| fragmachine | yea there is a icon there that lets me go to system settings | 06:38 |
| wolfric | the "applications places system" menu was a different desktop enviroment called gnome. The default has now switched to unity | 06:38 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: that what you were looking for? | 06:39 |
| fragmachine | oh ok | 06:39 |
| fragmachine | wolfric: no I wanted the old gnome bar | 06:39 |
| fragmachine | with applications and system etc | 06:39 |
| wolfric | fragmachine: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-classic-gnome-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise.html | 06:41 |
| ebs512 | wolfric sorry to be a bother, I want to theme my ubuntu similar to this http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ubuntu-12.04?before=1343608273 but not exactly, any idea how I can go about doing this, I think ActionParsnip told me conky or XFCE? | 06:42 |
| fragmachine | thanks wolfric I'll check it out | 06:42 |
| ix_ | hello, what is the google/ubuntu start page? | 06:44 |
| ix_ | I mean, what's the address? | 06:45 |
| Guddu | wolfric: why do people prefer classic genome desktop? In comparson to Unity? | 06:45 |
| Meris | ebs512: Well, the dock is almost certainly docky, The widgets could be simulated with screenlets. The Unity bar will be quite hard to theme though. The window list above can probably be had through some Compiz-mod. | 06:46 |
| Meris | ebs512: conky is also a possibility instead of screenlets, it will fill the same functionality, that of of on-screen widgets. | 06:47 |
| ebs512 | Meris, are all these modifications available through the ubuntu software center or the synaptic package manage? | 06:47 |
| s_ruan | hello | 06:48 |
| ebs512 | manager* | 06:48 |
| Meris | ebs512: I don' t really know, I'm not that into theming myself, preferring a nonintrusive desktop environment like awesome, or more traditional: LXDE. | 06:48 |
| Meris | ebs512: Synaptic works much better if you want to find obscure programs. If they are not in the usual repos, you have a good chance of finding them as a ppa. | 06:50 |
| wolfric | ebs512: that looks like gnome 3 to me | 06:50 |
| wolfric | http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 06:51 |
| Meris | wolfram, the layout looks like Gnome3, but the bar on the left looks a bit like the Unity bar. | 06:51 |
| wolfric | Meris: it's not | 06:51 |
| Meris | wolfric^ | 06:51 |
| wolfric | ebs512: just read what it says under the post and google "ubuntu 12.04 install " and whatevr it is | 06:53 |
| Meris | wolfram, I should have seen it, the Gnome footprint was a dead giveaway. | 06:53 |
| starbuck33 | hi there, i just copy pasted a text and after that another text... but i made a mistake and now the first text is lost and since i already copied another text after that it isnt in the clipboard anymore, or is it anywhere? it would be very important for me to retrieve the first text somehow | 06:53 |
| GeekAdmin | Is running rkhunter & chkrootkit on a Desktop PC running Ubuntu 12.04 overboard or unnecessary? There are no ports being forwarded and behind a firewall protected router.. | 06:53 |
| ikonia | GeekAdmin: a total waste of time | 06:53 |
| wolfric | GeekAdmin: not at all | 06:53 |
| GeekAdmin | lol | 06:54 |
| wolfric | lol | 06:54 |
| GeekAdmin | so it is worth while? | 06:54 |
| wolfric | sure no harm | 06:54 |
| ikonia | no, a total waste of time and effort | 06:54 |
| GeekAdmin | haha k thanks | 06:54 |
| wolfric | i disagree | 06:54 |
| ikonia | and it will cause you more problems as you'll be concerned by the results | 06:54 |
| GeekAdmin | haha | 06:54 |
| GeekAdmin | yea I've noticed a lot of false positives with rkhunter especially | 06:54 |
| wolfric | run it as a cronjob when you're not doing anything | 06:55 |
| GeekAdmin | wolfric: I probably will just for fun | 06:55 |
| ikonia | GeekAdmin: exactly, these are not valid tools to just run randomly | 06:55 |
| ikonia | GeekAdmin: you will get no benifit and cause your self concern. | 06:55 |
| wolfric | starbuck33: no sorry it's gone unless it was in something like libreoffice | 06:55 |
| ikonia | running a program to give you false positives is fun..... | 06:55 |
| ikonia | whatever | 06:55 |
| GeekAdmin | LOL | 06:55 |
| starbuck33 | wolfric: no, just some text in gedit | 06:56 |
| wolfric | GeekAdmin: you're more likely to get hit with a browser/plugin exploit than through network services if it's a desktop | 06:56 |
| ikonia | and those tools will not detect it | 06:56 |
| GeekAdmin | oh I see | 06:56 |
| wolfric | starbuck33: then no, it's gone, | 06:56 |
| ikonia | so again - they are pointless | 06:56 |
| GeekAdmin | Is there anyway to detect a browser plugin exploit? | 06:57 |
| wolfric | ...??? | 06:57 |
| wolfric | how the hell did you come to that conclusion by what i said | 06:57 |
| ikonia | GeekAdmin: just apply common sense to how you use the PC and you'll be fine | 06:57 |
| wolfric | exploits != rootkits | 06:57 |
| wolfric | ikonia: epic fail | 06:57 |
| ikonia | I didn't say they would, I siad those tools will not detect them....which they won't | 06:57 |
| skleya | s+ | 06:57 |
| wolfric | that was true 10-15 hours ago perhaps | 06:58 |
| ikonia | 10-15 hours ago ? what ? | 06:58 |
| wolfric | you don't get infected now by running some .exe attachment | 06:58 |
| wolfric | 10-15 years sorry | 06:58 |
| Meris | wolfram, true, but exploits *can* lead to the installation of root kits after they have escalated permissions. | 06:58 |
| ikonia | what ???? | 06:58 |
| wolfric | take the recent java vulnerability | 06:58 |
| ikonia | what are you talking about exe files | 06:58 |
| ikonia | this is linux | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | i fixxed a corrupt square mouse pointer on boot by adding 'nomodeset' to grub, but compiz disables and unworkable..howto fix this? | 06:58 |
| GeekAdmin | you can run exe in Linux :-p | 06:58 |
| GeekAdmin | with wine :-) | 06:58 |
| ikonia | no you can't | 06:58 |
| ikonia | you run them in wine | 06:58 |
| ikonia | that's not linux | 06:58 |
| wolfric | all you have to do is open a page that has a malicious plugin in it and you're owned | 06:58 |
| ikonia | it's an abstraction layer, that won't touch the OS | 06:59 |
| Meris | ikonia, linux is also vulnerable to the Java security leak, if you have the leaky version installed. | 06:59 |
| ikonia | utter nonsense | 06:59 |
| wolfric | ... | 06:59 |
| ikonia | Meris: yes, java is a risk | 06:59 |
| GeekAdmin | wait wine doesnt touch the OS? | 06:59 |
| ikonia | GeekAdmin: do whatever makes you feel happy and secure, if it's a wate of time and effort or not you don't seem bothered, so do whatever makes you feel happy. | 07:00 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| itspriyank | does ubuntu 12.04 ships with Open JDk | 07:01 |
| ikonia | no | 07:01 |
| Meris | GeekAdmin: wine runs under normal user rights, so it can only affect the files writable by the user. You *could* run wine as root, but that would be utterly silly. | 07:01 |
| ikonia | java is not installed by default | 07:01 |
| wolfric | kind of bad advice also. kind of like saying "run updates or not" or "firwall or not" whatever makes you happy | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | howto fix this bug plz? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/556782 | 07:02 |
| wolfric | ikonia: does that mean nobody has it? | 07:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 556782 in linux (Ubuntu) "[rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200" [High,Triaged] | 07:02 |
| itspriyank | easiest way of installing it then? | 07:02 |
| ikonia | wolfric: not running stupid rootkit scanneers, is nothing like saying "don't apply updates" | 07:02 |
| wolfric | my mistake, didn't see itspriyank question | 07:02 |
| Meris | ikonia, I do Java development, so I have JDK 7 installed. | 07:02 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| ikonia | Meris: what ? I didn't ask anything about your java setup | 07:02 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| Meris | ikonia, merely chiming in with wolfric about the question if it means that nobody has it. | 07:03 |
| itspriyank | Meris: how did you installed it? | 07:03 |
| wolfric | i'm not sure what you're missing here... security vulnerablities allow you to install malware, rkhunter and the likes can track down rootkits that may be installed from exploiting such vulnerablities so YES it is useful to run it | 07:03 |
| ikonia | I think there was confusion as I was redponing to itspriyank question of if ubuntu shipped with java | 07:04 |
| Meris | itspriyank: simply by downloading the appropriate package from java.com | 07:04 |
| ikonia | wolfric: they are based on signature files that are not updated on a regular basis, so provide more false positives and miss more genuine exploits than any value they add | 07:04 |
| ikonia | hence waste of time | 07:04 |
| ikonia | more so on distros like ubuntu that change every 6 months | 07:04 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: right, but many of the basic heuristics hold up | 07:05 |
| lotuspsychje | guys..offtopic? | 07:05 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: looking for a directory somewhere called "..." with executables in it | 07:05 |
| gordonjcp | lotuspsychje: correct | 07:05 |
| Meris | lotuspsychje: true... | 07:05 |
| wolfric | ikonia: you could say the same about any anti virus really | 07:05 |
| itspriyank | Meris: Should I follow this method : http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 ? | 07:06 |
| ikonia | wolfric: depends on the virus softare, but on linux, I do say the same...it's pointless | 07:06 |
| Meris | brb. Got called to breakfast :-) | 07:06 |
| ikonia | but this should continue in #ubuntu-offtopic as lotuspsychje rightly pointed out | 07:06 |
| wolfric | plus don't underestimate the amount of malicious payloads that don't even make an effort to be different than the usual | 07:06 |
| wolfric | anyway, we shall leave it on, i think it's useful, you don't think it is, I think running a cronjob and diffing the results would definitely give you a heads up if something was a miss GeekAdmin | 07:08 |
| GeekAdmin | wolfric: thanks so much for your opinion in this. That goes for everyone | 07:08 |
| gordonjcp | wolfric: antivirus software *is* pointless... | 07:09 |
| lotuspsychje | is it normal for 'nomodeset' to disable compiz features? | 07:10 |

| shaladore | thank you Auzy | 08:50 |
| Auzy | and generally, I use Shorewall as my firewall shaladore | 08:51 |
| shaladore | I thought about that is that a ppa or a package from ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| Auzy | shorewall is what I'm familiar with, is easyish to configure (you can just grab the example), and its iptables anyway | 08:51 |

| Samizdat | And that's basically the whole thing. | 08:54 |

| jake443 | what is the extended partition used for ? | 09:05 |
| Atlantic777 | jake443: it's used when you want/need more thatn 4 partitions. | 09:06 |
| Atlantic777 | When you make a extended partition, you can make 16 logic partitions in it. | 09:06 |
| timfrost | manners13: check for non-printing characters such as spaces in the directory name with ' ls -b /media/Elements/', which will print the escape codes for them | 09:06 |
| jake443 | i don't understand it | 09:06 |
| jake443 | i have 1 partition and i want all spaces in that 1 partition | 09:06 |
| jake443 | i have parimary parition then extend then swap parition | 09:07 |
| Atlantic777 | jake443: there are primary and logic partitions. In partition table there's place for only 4 partitions (size of them doesn't matter, just count). If you make a extended partition (which counts as primary), you then make logic partitions in it. | 09:07 |
| jake443 | so basiclly i used a single parition | 09:07 |
| jake443 | what happens if i remove it ? | 09:07 |
| Atlantic777 | you lose logic partitions in it, together with data | 09:08 |
| jake443 | it's a 500MB extend partition | 09:08 |
| jake443 | i don't want it | 09:08 |
| jake443 | nothing in it | 09:08 |
| Atlantic777 | what "df" tells you? can you paste it? | 09:08 |
| === d is now known as Guest10547 | ||
| tsimpson | jake443: that likely is where your swap partition is, which would be taking up those 500MB | 09:08 |
| jake443 | i never used it once.. ubuntu created extended parition | 09:08 |
| jake443 | i have 1 logical parimiary parition for the OS only | 09:08 |
| Atlantic777 | logical primary partitions? what would that be? :D | 09:09 |
| jake443 | tsimpson yes my man.. i have 500MB extended and 500MB swap | 09:09 |
| jake443 | altantic i am a windows user | 09:09 |
| jake443 | you either help me or i'm going back | 09:09 |
| tsimpson | jake443: threats like that get you nowhere fast | 09:09 |
| jake443 | i DON'T want extended parition because i use only 1 parition on this PC | 09:10 |
| Atlantic777 | jake443: it's the same on the windows. Open terminal and write "df". Copy output of that command on paste.ubuntu.com | 09:10 |
| tsimpson | the swap partition is actually in the same disk space as the extended partition, it's just saying that you only have the swap on there | 09:10 |
| jake443 | and i will never parition this space because the space is little .. not much | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: in Linux, you use multiple partitions | 09:10 |
| jake443 | ok i don't want extended.. what happens if i remove it ? | 09:10 |
| tsimpson | jake443: you do have a partition there, the swap partition | 09:10 |
| ikonia | jake443: why don't you want extended ? | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: then you only get to have four partitions | 09:10 |
| ikonia | jake443: what's the problem with using an extended partition ? | 09:10 |
| jake443 | i don't want swap too | 09:10 |
| jake443 | i have it disable it | 09:10 |
| tsimpson | jake443: why don't you want swap? | 09:11 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: that's not a good idea | 09:11 |
| jake443 | but partition is not removed | 09:11 |
| jake443 | i don't care!! i run 1 program on it all the time | 09:11 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: are you using something like an SD card? | 09:11 |
| jake443 | ONE Program | 09:11 |
| jake443 | yeah limited time | 09:11 |
| tsimpson | you are always running more than one | 09:11 |
| jake443 | services yeah but only 1 program running | 09:11 |
| ikonia | jake443: is there a reason you don't want to use an extended partition ? | 09:12 |
| Atlantic777 | extended partition is just place *in which* you can put other partitions. If you remote the place, you lose partitions too. Rremoving swap partition can be fixed with swap file or with creating new partition, if it is swap in extended. | 09:12 |
| jake443 | ikonia to recover that lost space | 09:12 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: okay, stop a minute; things are very different in Linux from Windows | 09:12 |
| jake443 | i want to resize the swap from 500MB to 100MB | 09:12 |
| jake443 | and remove extended | 09:12 |
| ikonia | jake443: the space isn't lost, it's in the extended partition. | 09:12 |
| tsimpson | if you desperately want to claim back those 500MB, then you should repartition | 09:12 |
| Atlantic777 | but it's not lost | 09:12 |
| ikonia | ok, I'll back away as I don't think I understand. | 09:12 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: you should have as much swap as you have RAM | 09:12 |
| Atlantic777 | at least as much | 09:12 |
| jake443 | o god | 09:12 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: stop a minute, what exactly are you trying to do? | 09:13 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: explain it from the beginning | 09:13 |
| jake443 | i have 6GB partition. IT SAYS 500GB extened and 500 swap | 09:13 |
| nibbler_ | gordonjcp, one should have as much swap as he needs, any "factor X on RAM" rules are nonsens... if i was living fine with 4GB RAM and hardly every used my swap, why would i upgrade to 8GB swap if i upgrade my ram? | 09:14 |
| jake443 | i want to remove extended and resize swap from 500MB to 100MB | 09:14 |
| jake443 | finish | 09:14 |
| jake443 | what do i use linux for ? for serious stuff.. no videos no audios nothing | 09:14 |
| nibbler_ | jake443, just remove swap, repartition, add swap? | 09:14 |
| ozette | Ok, no funny jokes but - What's the best way to get Internet Explorer to run on Ubuntu (preferably no vm) | 09:14 |
| jake443 | you are seriuous to help tell me | 09:14 |
| jake443 | you can't i will go somewehre els | 09:14 |
| MonkeyDust | ozette wine | 09:14 |
| nibbler_ | ozette, if no vm, then iwne | 09:14 |
| nibbler_ | wine | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | ozette: wine, but don't expect it to work in any meaningful way | 09:15 |
| Gxps | hello there, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on an usb memstick made from unetbootin, seems to work well. though I have probs with wifi toiconnect to my accesspoint through WPS.. how do I manage to hook up through WPS with ubuntu ? | 09:15 |
| ozette | hmm | 09:15 |
| ozette | ok | 09:15 |
| ozette | thanks | 09:15 |
| ozette | I just need it for web dev. | 09:15 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: feel free to go somewhere else, if that's your attitude | 09:16 |
| aidanjt | jake443: you can use the ubuntu installer cd to start gparted to delete the swap and extended partitions, shrink the root partition if you must make more room for swap, and create a swap partition | 09:16 |
| ikonia | ozette: you'll get more realisitic test results from running it within a virtual machine | 09:16 |
| tsimpson | ozette: I'd have to say your best bet is to use a VM, IE is hooked deep into the WIN API, and so the shortcomings of wine really show through | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: there used to be a thing called "ies4linux" which wrapped wine with a custom installer | 09:17 |
| jake443 | aidanjt what happens if i delete swap and extended ? will ubuntu boot? | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: it was extremely good, but I don't know if it's still on the go | 09:17 |
| jake443 | because i'm in the gparted screen right now | 09:17 |
| hfic | jake443, it's not recommended to completely remove swap partitions. | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: it should still boot *if* swap is the only thing in the extended partition | 09:17 |
| Gxps | am I missing something special to be able to make the laptop to hook up the wifi through WPS ? | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Gxps: is it a live install or a "disk" install | 09:18 |
| gordonjcp | jake443: the space taken up by the extended partition will be lost | 09:18 |
| ikonia | eg: are you running it live, or from a hard disk install | 09:18 |
| Atlantic777 | jake443: can you post a screenshot of the gparted screen you are looking at? | 09:18 |
| Atlantic777 | of copy output of command "sudo fdisk -l" | 09:19 |
| jake443 | IT'S a green rectangle with yellow rectangle inside of it | 09:19 |
| Atlantic777 | great, can you post it somewhere? | 09:19 |
| Gxps | ikonia its a live install i think , i took the .iso for 32 bits , and used unetbootin tocreate a live usb, im using the "try on" since I dont wanna install it yet | 09:19 |
| jake443 | outside is extended hwich is green. inside yellow which is swap | 09:19 |
| jake443 | both are 1 part | 09:20 |
| hfic | jake443, people want to see what your looking at. Please post it at img or somewhere else free and easy to share your screen shot of gparted. | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Gxps: what wifi card is it | 09:20 |
| jake443 | how can i hfic if the DAMN thing is GPARTED !! | 09:20 |
| hfic | jake443, It's called a screen shot and an upload. I would watch the way you speak to people in this channel. | 09:21 |
| aidanjt | jake443: press "Print Screen", save the file, open browser, go to imgur.com, upload image | 09:21 |
| Gxps | ikonia , not sure its a samsung n140 | 09:21 |
| jake443 | network card is not working right now | 09:21 |

| jake443 | cya | 09:22 |
| * aidanjt blinks | 09:22 | |
| Atlantic777 | jake443: ok, nevermind, I think I got it, it's like other said. Just resize swap and extended partition, then resize other partition you want to make larger and apply the changes. | 09:22 |
| hfic | Atlantic777, he left | 09:22 |
| hfic | He should stay on windows | 09:23 |

| cherva | gordonjcp, thanxk | 09:25 |
| cherva | gordonjcp, thanks | 09:25 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: the driver is in kernel and I would not recommend you to compile kernel by yourself if you aren't experienced user. Can you post ID of that device which lspci is reported? | 09:27 |
| think | hello | 09:27 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: try this site, too. It's probably good point to start with. http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ | 09:28 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, the id(i think thats what you want) is: 0000:00:19.0 ? | 09:28 |
| paaaawerrr | Hi exist program like GetRight for Linux? | 09:29 |
| === yavor is now known as y4h0 | ||
| Atlantic777 | paaaawerrr: what that program does? | 09:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | automagically seraches for file mirrors around the web and does multisite downloads | 09:30 |
| brontosaurusrex | getright that is | 09:30 |
| paaaawerrr | GetRight -> transfer menagement / increse transfer ( for ex. downloading file from HTTP/FTP from many sources ( that increse download speed) | 09:30 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, this is for ubuntu 6.06 (i know v.v old) but I need to be able to get the internet working on it | 09:30 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: that makes sense. :D Ubuntu 6.06 uses old kernel which probably doesn't have the driver you need. Why do you need working internet connection in it? | 09:31 |
| MonkeyDust | paaaawerrr ubuntu has its own repos, windows doesnt | 09:31 |
| Gxps | okay i checked with lspci : 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01 | 09:31 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, I need to do a migration, and install some software, that only works with active connections, any suggestions | 09:31 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: wouldn't booting live session and connecting to internet help? | 09:31 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, i'd need a normal session to be able to do further installations of software? | 09:32 |
| paaaawerrr | Mknkey u dont understand, i want to download Ubuntu 12.04.01 DVD from FTP but download speed is 50-60kb/s... i want add other sources from otgher servers ( this same file), from 5 server download speed is 5x-60-60kb/s.... | 09:32 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: you can install software in live session, too. It's just not permanent (if you are booting from CD) | 09:32 |
| paaaawerrr | this do GetRight | 09:32 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, the upgrade/backup/restore takes 16+ hours though, so my worry is live session failing = a lot of lost work. Is there any other ways to get the driver installed? | 09:33 |
| MonkeyDust | paaaawerrr then it must be available somewhere you want | 09:33 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: actually, you may compile that module for your kernel, but it probably wouldn't go as easy as you and me want. | 09:34 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: another reasonable thing I would consider is buying an cheap network interface controler. :) | 09:34 |
| paaaawerrr | Mokey on WIndows im downloading by GetRight OpenSuSe ( for testing), open suse hostes has max 250kb/s, so im downloading from 8 server this same file , so 8x250kb/s = 2mb/s :) This same file from 8 sources as one File... This do GetRight... so i ask about this same program but like, on Ubuntu | 09:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | paaaawerrr, workaround is to dl isos with torrent | 09:36 |
| paaaawerrr | my ISP blocking torrent ports! | 09:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | ok | 09:36 |
| luftikuss | Why does my Ubuntu 12.04.1 not produce any sound in the video »Autohide Top Bar for GNOME Shell« of http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/gnome-shell-autohide-top-bar-for-gnome.html? aplay works all right and Banshee also. | 09:37 |
| aidanjt | paaaawerrr: I would get that rate from the heanet.ie mirror.. but it really smells like your ISP is just being cheap and crappy | 09:37 |
| hfic | paaaawerrr, so use a proxy or change the torrent ports. | 09:37 |
| paaaawerrr | so i cannot play WoT and WOW-.- | 09:37 |
| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, any instructions for compiling the kernel with that correct driver? | 09:37 |
| paaaawerrr | No.. im pay my ISP ~10 US$ for 50mbps | 09:37 |
| paaaawerrr | without limits, but torrents are blocked... idk why... | 09:38 |
| hfic | paaaawerrr, it's not a secret that some isps block certain ports, including torrent port ranges. Either use a proxy to get around that or change the ports on the torrent client. | 09:39 |
| Atlantic777 | AdvoWork: yes... don't do it. :D You need to find out correct name of driver you need, get source code, prepare build environment, make those .ko files, modprobe it and hope it will work. I would ask on linux kernel mailing list, too (LKML). Can you boot some live session and check which driver is needed for that ethernet card with "lspci -knn | grep -i ether -A 3" | 09:40 |
| Gxps | hmm ath9k is supposed to support my wifi so isnt WPS supposed to work then ? | 09:40 |
| paaaawerrr | No... proxy are bloked... ( 80% ), TOR (100% blocked) | 09:40 |
| Gxps | stillim asked for a passphrase.. | 09:40 |
| aidanjt | paaaawerrr: right, 50mbps to them, but that doesn't stop them from throttling your internet bandwidth, I mean if they're blocking torrents then clearly they have an internal policy of interfering with heavy bandwidth use | 09:41 |
| Atlantic777 | paaaawerrr: http://www.esotechnica.co.uk/2010/07/linux-getrigh/ | 09:42 |
| ferni | they might be using some fancy torrent blocking thing, try setting encryption required from your torrent client | 09:42 |
| paaaawerrr | no.... my friend has 512kbps / 0,5$ and also are blocked torrents port... | 09:42 |

| aidanjt | SAngeli: depends, iSCSI is block protocol, so you'd have to point it to an lvm volume, or a dd'd file image or some such and format it with ntfs.. samba is a file-level protocol which is less of a hassle since everything sits on top of the ext4 partition and usable by both systems | 09:57 |

| seeker | hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep up with chromium updates. the chromium team ppa seems to be no longer updated | 09:58 |
| SAngeli | aidanjt, is samba slow protocol compared to ISCSI? | 09:58 |
| Atlantic777 | velho: that looks ok. :/ | 09:58 |
| aidanjt | SAngeli: there might be a slight bit of overhead, but in my experience samba is able to keep up with gigabit ethernet | 09:59 |

| opalepatrick | anyone know how to add html5 synatx highlighting in bluefish 2.2? | 09:59 |
| velho | Atlantic777, so how can I recognize the second screen? :/ | 09:59 |
| MonkeyDust | velho keep it in the channel, what ubottu says, is that there's a GUI for xrandr, called arandr, you can install it | 09:59 |
| Atlantic777 | velho: wait, are just resolutions wront or you can't even see second screen? | 10:00 |
| SAngeli | aidanjt, if I wish to use iSCSI after having created a raid-1 array I assume I have to change type of filesystem. So, rather than creating a ext4 what should I create? Or better is there a iSCSI ubuntu guide to follow in relation to raid-1? | 10:00 |
| SAngeli | I hope I properly asked this question | 10:00 |
| aether | [AMD] nee ATI M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650] [1002:9480 nice card! | 10:00 |
| velho | Atlantic777, I CAN see the second screen, I just cannot recognize it to a configurable resolution. There's no Image. But the system knows the screen is on. | 10:01 |
| aidanjt | SAngeli: you'd really point the iscsi target to the new raid device node.. but keep in mind that iscsi requires exclusive access, unlike samba which can handle many clients.. | 10:02 |
| user14 | Hello. Which filesystem is better for / and /home? In what order is it better to partition the disk? Do I need to use 50 Gb / partition or 30 Gb is enough? | 10:02 |

| MonkeyDust | HadiM what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ? | 10:10 |
| aidanjt | user14: yeah I haven't had any problems with ext4, it's a fairly sane default fs | 10:10 |
| Atlantic777 | velho: that's size of virtual screen. Do you use xorg.conf? | 10:10 |
| velho | Atlantic777, probably not, since I don't know what that is :) | 10:10 |
| user14 | aidanjt, alright, I'll use ext4 for both then. What about / partition size? | 10:11 |
| HadiM | MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS | 10:11 |
| Atlantic777 | velho: "ls /etc/X11 | grep xorg.conf" | 10:11 |
| aidanjt | user14: I haven't needed any more than ~16GB really, depends on how much you use /tmp mostly | 10:11 |

| AdvoWork | Atlantic777, finally got a live cd booted. It lists a few different entries, is there anything specific you need to know from me? | 10:13 |
| HadiM | there is a way to fix it ? | 10:13 |
| joobie | im reading all this jazz about GPT and bios boot.. why doesnt ubuntu handle this natively? | 10:13 |
| equex | if i add a filter in synaptic saying 'Description' 'Includes' 'KDE' shouldnt that filter packages with 'KDE" in the package list ? i cant get it to work./.. | 10:13 |
| aidanjt | SAngeli: try #ubuntu-it ?.. I'm sure they'd have more practice with Italian localisation issues | 10:13 |

| SvenHH | velho: anything i can do about this? | 11:15 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: "better" in what way? | 11:15 |
| spidernik84 | @velho: try to add the backported repo | 11:16 |
| Darknyss | gordonjcp, faster? | 11:16 |
| spidernik84 | might contain the pkg you want | 11:16 |
| spidernik84 | or backport it yourself with prevu. Might work. Yet prevu has been removed from 12.04 as it's unsupported | 11:17 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| dd_ | Darknyss: the fastest would be Xubuntu or Lubuntu. You might find Lubuntu (LXDE) a bit TOO minimalistic depending on what you do with your PC | 11:18 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: it might be a bit faster | 11:18 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: it'll use less memory than Unity | 11:19 |
| Darknyss | dd_ I'd like to game, maybe possibly WINE functionality. Um.. I can't boot into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS atm because of an error of mounting file systems. | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | however | 11:19 |
| spidernik84 | I'd say xubuntu | 11:19 |
| Darknyss | So I'm debating.... wiping and starting over yet again. | 11:19 |
| spidernik84 | not so extreme and kinda similar to gnome 2.0 | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | how quickly it "runs" isn't the only thing | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | how quickly you get stuff done on it is most important | 11:19 |
| Darknyss | gordon, agreed | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: what's the error you're getting? | 11:20 |
| dd_ | Darknyss: the best game experience I had was in Xubuntu! It was the only one opf the ubuntu family that let me come back on the desktop while the game was in the background and than rejoin the game | 11:20 |
| Darknyss | gordonjcp, Something alone the lines of... failed to mount file system type in the root password or Ctrl+D to continue,. | 11:20 |
| Darknyss | dd_, Might give it a go. | 11:20 |
| TechnodicT_ | Hello | 11:22 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: so, why not do that then? | 11:22 |
| TechnodicT_ | Ssup? | 11:23 |
| Darknyss | gordonjcp, Ctrl+D brings the same screen back up. Typing in the root password takes me to the console to manage.. | 11:23 |
| Darknyss | gordonjcp, after rebooting the error came out of the blue and it's getting to be irritating. | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | yeah | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | so you type in the password, and then run fdisk, like it says | 11:24 |
| Darknyss | gordonjcp, yes. no errors. but it doesn't solve the issue. | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: paste the error verbatim | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | Darknyss: take a photo of the screen if you have to | 11:25 |

| ubottu | equex: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:14 |

| viliny | Hello everyone, i was sitting here bored thinking about things. With windows 8 and the notorius metro ui around the corner im really thinking about switching my main desktop to linux completely. | 12:22 |
| viliny | Where are we with microsoft allowing directx on linux? | 12:23 |
| Queops | directx what... | 12:23 |
| Queops | linux is perfectly capable of running high end games | 12:23 |
| Queops | just needs a good graphics card and drivers | 12:24 |
| OerHeks | directX is part of Wine. only if you need wine. | 12:24 |
| viliny | Are you refering to Wine and dx9 emulation/not-emulation? | 12:24 |
| viliny | or games running opengl? | 12:25 |
| OerHeks | what is your ubuntu support question, viliny ? | 12:25 |
| Auzy | viliny, there is no DirectX api for Linux.. | 12:25 |
| Auzy | viliny, That being said, there are alternatives, such as OpenGL | 12:25 |
| viliny | im well aware of that, i was just wondering if anyone knew about anything new on that front. nevermind. | 12:26 |
| Auzy | viliny, Wine can run Windows DirectX games, however, the biggest improvemernt for gaming on Linux will be Steam for Linux, which has been officially announced | 12:26 |
| Queops | I can't wait for it | 12:26 |
| Queops | :D | 12:26 |
| viliny | Auzy: now thats pretty close to what i was hoping to hear, thank you | 12:26 |
| === evilniko is now known as niko | ||
| Auzy | viliny, thing is, even if someone ports the DirectX API for linux, it will never be compliant with the latest standard, and the windows API wont work | 12:27 |
| Queops | viliny: be very excited! I heard it's soon rather than later | 12:27 |
| Queops | probably at the end of the year | 12:27 |
| Auzy | So.. since Windows games use the windows API so much, you'd have to mostly port the whole OS.. | 12:27 |
| viliny | i've been running a lot of games on wine in the past, but it's not fun sitting on the edge of your chair hoping that the game won't crash when you doing something on a competetive online game | 12:27 |
| viliny | eve-online etc. | 12:27 |
| Queops | well eve online | 12:27 |
| Queops | depends totally on CCP | 12:27 |
| viliny | they had official linux support through wine-related shenanigans but they decided not to maintain it officially anymore | 12:28 |
| Auzy | If Ubuntu plays their cards right, they can succeed with Gaming eventually.. | 12:28 |

| viliny | Yeah, but microsoft has the market by the genitals with directx and all things related, it's sad that i have to resort to windows for a uncrippled gaming experience - so i came here to back and forth with you guys and hear if theres any news on that front | 12:29 |

| xorma | Hi, can someone tell me how I can define "Acquire::http::No-Cache true;" in a preseed file? | 12:30 |
| Auzy | viliny, It's not because MS bribes them, its the simple things in Ubuntu that stil need work.. | 12:31 |
| viliny | Auzy, what specificly? | 12:31 |
| equex | viliny: both valve and id have now proven that OpenGL engines are viable and now, the OpenCL will gain traction. It now even has Nvidia people onboard. | 12:31 |
| viliny | equex: excellent | 12:31 |
| Queops | I love nvidia | 12:31 |
| viliny | i'm 26 and my first games had opengl support | 12:31 |
| Auzy | viliny, Simple things.. Like, the fact that we can't even decide on a Sound daemon, and it regularly changes | 12:32 |
| Queops | and many more.. | 12:32 |
| Queops | i still dont like the overlay scrollbars, personal opinion | 12:32 |
| Auzy | In fact, remember Devicekit? | 12:32 |
| Queops | taste* | 12:32 |
| viliny | i really hated... whats it called... unity | 12:32 |
| equex | i just hope people come to their senses about unity | 12:32 |
| equex | they just need to get that out of the mainline distro *now* | 12:33 |
| Auzy | Unity can improve long term..Once again, the issue with Unity, gnome and all that, is simple stuff is still missing.. | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: things change | 12:33 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: we work out better ways of doing stuff | 12:33 |
| Auzy | gordonjcp, Like, automounting SMB shares? | 12:34 |
| theadmin | equex: Ubuntu provides many alternatives. There are plans on an official GNOME-Shell-based version too. | 12:34 |
| veryape | hrm, i actually likes unity now after giving it a new chance with 12.04 | 12:34 |
| viliny | but gnomes been out forever, in various versions... isn't the main point of open source that people can contribute and progress goes faster? | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: I don't use SMB but surely authentication would be a factor there? | 12:34 |
| equex | theadmin: i am just saing unity should be an alternative, not the default | 12:34 |
| Queops | theadmin: not only there are plans, there's an alpha already :P | 12:34 |
| Auzy | gordonjcp, Or, the fact that when loading a GUI app which is missing a SO file, there is no error saying so.. It just never loads.. No feedback | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: how often does that happen? | 12:34 |
| theadmin | equex: I don't mind it being the default long as the ISOs with other desktops are provided, and they are. | 12:35 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: and, how often does that happen *because you've been dicking about with things you should leave alone*? | 12:35 |
| viliny | Auzy: been a while since i fiddled under the hood, whats an so file? | 12:35 |
| theadmin | Queops: You mean there's such for Quantal? | 12:35 |
| Auzy | Quite a lot on apps which are 3 years old, which aren't on the repos.. Affected a lot of Humble Bundle games | 12:35 |

| Queops | When games start coming to linux at a good rate it's gonna be a .so nightmare, look at Desura, cant run half of the games | 12:35 |
| Queops | theadmin: yep, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes#Download_the_Alpha | 12:35 |
| Queops | Reminder: alpha, bugs :] | 12:36 |
| flan_suse | How do you fix the problem when it says that ALL your packages are "Installed (manual)" when in fact that's not true? | 12:36 |
| viliny | oh i have desura... but i only got that for this one zombie survival game that i can't remember the name of | 12:36 |
| NiteRain | haha, I guess beta bugs are easier to work with? | 12:36 |
| viliny | Hopefully that'll standardise so the average user won't have problems like you described | 12:36 |
| theadmin | Queops: I know, not gonna use it (I'm very much of a KDE person), but I'm surprised they got it going so soon :) | 12:37 |
| Queops | theadmin: same! | 12:37 |
| AdvoWork | how can i tell if an install is server or non-server? cat /etc/issue doesn't say | 12:37 |
| Queops | theadmin: same, as for the going so soon part | 12:37 |
| Auzy | AdvoWork, does it have Xwindows? | 12:37 |
| Queops | viliny: I think you mean atom zombie smasher | 12:37 |
| AdvoWork | Auzy, not sure, only have cli access to it | 12:37 |
| Queops | That one runs well | 12:37 |
| equex | theadmin: im just afraid now that gaming just has a chance of taking off on linux, we now just suddenly toss everything around. i know a lot of people in the wild that just got used to version 8,9 and 10 after ditching windows vista and now they have UI experiments thrown at them both from Ubuntu mainline and Metro | 12:38 |
| viliny | Queops: no, not that one - this was an indy game where you run around boarding up houses and scavenging for items, isometric | 12:38 |
| Auzy | AdvoWork, if you type startx.. chances are, its GUI.. if you only have CLI, and its on a VPS, again, likely its server | 12:38 |
| Queops | viliny: oh, I dont remember the name of that one | 12:38 |
| Queops | reboot brb | 12:38 |
| equex | what people want is something that looks like XP and launches games. | 12:39 |
| Dreadtower | theadmin http://paste.ubuntu.com/1183437/ | 12:39 |
| gordonjcp | equex: why? | 12:39 |
| Auzy | I disagree equex.. What they want is something they can use full time, and everything to be solvable via the GUI.. | 12:39 |
| gordonjcp | equex: I think what you mean is "what I want is..." | 12:39 |

| NiteRain | gordonjcp: then explain Mac OS? | 12:40 |
| gordonjcp | equex: XP is *horrible* to use | 12:40 |
| gordonjcp | NiteRain: what about it? | 12:40 |
| Auzy | offtopic then? | 12:40 |
| gordonjcp | Auzy: yeah, very much so! | 12:40 |

| NiteRain | Having a problem with getting my broadband mobile card to connect to verizon. I see the modem, just configuring it to connect is a problem, most of the options it gives me is a 4G contract for the billing plan, and I am using 3G | 12:48 |

| flan_suse | How do you fix the problem when it says that ALL your packages are "Installed (manual)" when in fact that's not true? | 12:49 |
| === goose_ is now known as Guest43883 | ||
| iLogical | thanks theadmin | 12:49 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: what exact error you are getting? | 12:49 |
| flan_suse | e66_: It's not a fatal error or anything, but it's messing up the status of my packages. | 12:50 |
| Sachiru | Hello! I would like to run Ubuntu Server in a VM, dedicated to running a server application written in Python. I woill provision it 4GB of RAM, and expect the server to not consume much, since everything else (database and associated services) are in separate VMs. | 12:50 |
| Sachiru | Would it be possible to not use a swap partition, so that I can easily backup the hard disk image of the VM? | 12:50 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Basically, nearly ALL my packages are considered "Installed (manual)" when that should only be reserved for non-repository .deb's such as games and manual downloads / installs. | 12:50 |
| flan_suse | e66_: But it's listing almost ALL packages under this status. | 12:50 |
| flan_suse | e66_: I tried the apt-mark auto trick, but that only changes them to "autoremovable" | 12:51 |
| KM0201 | Sachiru: possible, but i would go ahead and put a swap partition just in case.. that's just me | 12:51 |
| Dreadtower | Well theadmin: 4 hours now and no way forward | 12:51 |
| Dreadtower | It looks like my installatin is wrecked | 12:51 |
| gyre007 | how come I'm seeing 8 cores in /proc/cpuinfo in Ubuntu when my server should only have 2 ? | 12:52 |
| KM0201 | 4hrs?.. man, i have a rule, it only takes me about 25-30min to completely reinstall/restore my junk... so if it's longer than that, i reinstall. | 12:52 |
| KM0201 | did the same thing w/ Windows for the most part. | 12:52 |
| Sachiru | Hmm. | 12:53 |
| Sachiru | What if I do this: | 12:53 |
| Sachiru | I'll create a dedicated disk image in a different directory which is then mounted only as swap. | 12:53 |
| Sachiru | That way, when I do incremental backup, I don't need to backup the 4gb swap partition every time. | 12:54 |
| KM0201 | Sachiru: i was going to suggest that... just during the install, set the other disk image as the swap.. and you'll be done. | 12:54 |
| Sachiru | Cool, that works, thanks! | 12:54 |
| theadmin | Sachiru: You can make a swapfile, see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042946 | 12:55 |
| Sachiru | While running the server, I've noticed that if the database and webserver were on different machines, the real machine hosting the server has practically no change in OS files except for swap partition. | 12:55 |
| Sachiru | That saves me 4gb per backup. Thanks, all! | 12:55 |
| Merwin | Guys, how can I "lock" my keyboard so I can clean it without hitting keys. I read keeping right "Shift" for 8s worked, but doesn't seem to work with unity | 12:55 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: "Installed (manual)" on Synaptic means packages that you installed by yourself either by synaptic or apt-get | 12:55 |
| Merwin | (Yes, I know I can unplug it!) | 12:55 |

| === Cybert1nus is now known as Cybertinus | ||
| BluesKaj | KM0201, Sachiru , what's the procedure for making a dir with a disk image for swap ? | 12:56 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Even from the official repositories? | 12:56 |
| Sachiru | Depends on what you use for virtualizing. | 12:56 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: yes | 12:56 |
| flan_suse | e66_: I figured "Installed (manual)" is reserved for non-repo packages or manually installed .deb files. | 12:56 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: hes' doing it w/ vmware.. so basically, make two virtual disks... you install, and when you installl, you set one virtual drive as / and one as /swap | 12:56 |
| flan_suse | e66_: And besides, it's NOT true that I install all those packages manually. Most were part of the default install. | 12:57 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: "installed (local or obsolete)" means what you have installed by .deb, .sh etc | 12:57 |
| Sachiru | I use VirtualBox, and I just create another disk image, placed in a separate directory, since my backup script copies the contents of my vm images repository. | 12:57 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: that maks it where he can back up the image of his server, w/o constantly backing up the swap partition as well (that seems to be his goal) | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | ok KM0201 ...I should ahve scrolled up for more info | 12:57 |
| Sachiru | ^^ Yes, that's exactly my goal. | 12:57 |
| flan_suse | e66_: For instance, how come it lists alsa-utils as manual? Among all those other default packages? | 12:58 |
| KM0201 | Sachiru: thats actually a pretty good idea, i've ran servers on Vbox before, and wouldn't have thought of that | 12:58 |
| Sachiru | Yeah, if you segregate VMs so that one contains database, one contains webserver and one contains the VM with the app that rarely changes. | 12:59 |
| KM0201 | yup. | 12:59 |
| KM0201 | it'll make backing up much easier. | 12:59 |
| Sachiru | You can just backup the DB VM and the Webserver VM every month, the static VM once, and discard swap disks. | 12:59 |
| Sachiru | Plus, if the database dies, restoring that service's VM is much faster than restoring a monolithic VM that contains everything. | 13:00 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: did you install anything related to sound from command line? | 13:00 |
| e66_ | flan_suse: it could be that | 13:00 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Nope. | 13:00 |
| flan_suse | e66_: I read bug reports about this, for people that noticed this on a fresh install.It's just kind of inconsistent. | 13:00 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Not too major, but thanks anyways. | 13:01 |
| e66_ | I also see that in my package list | 13:01 |
| Sachiru | I have that scripted as well, actually. If the nginx VM dies for some reason, my script restores the last known good disk image of the nginx vm and reboots the vm. | 13:01 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Same installed (manual) status for 1,000+ packages? | 13:01 |
| e66_ | I also see some packages that I didn't installed. | 13:01 |
| e66_ | yes | 13:01 |
| e66_ | But I see very few packages that I didn't install. | 13:02 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Actually, there is a problem. | 13:02 |
| flan_suse | e66_: Because it ruins which packages are "autoremovable" if you remove the parent package. | 13:02 |
| flan_suse | Say I install an application, like vlc, but later want to remove it. If I remove it, all it's extra packages (pulled in from later) will remain on my system, and they won't be labeled autoremovable. | 13:03 |
| e66_ | I think some packages are automatically installed as dependency to other packages. And this packages should be in autoremovable, but took place in "Installed Manual) | 13:03 |
| Queops | What a mess :) | 13:04 |
| flan_suse | Agreed. | 13:04 |
| flan_suse | There's no option or anything to just reset the package statuses. | 13:04 |
| AdvoWork | how can you add old repositories for old-releases to the sources list? I see various folders, but i see -backports -proposed -security -updates etc, and not sure which one | 13:05 |
| pritesh | koi h | 13:07 |
| Dreadtower | Thx fo ryour help theadmin. Imanagaed to get the recovery modeule running (with the mouse available) and fix | 13:08 |
| Queops | flan_suse: /var/log/apt/history.log should show all kinds of non-sense that probably happened to your apt | 13:08 |
| theadmin | Dreadtower: But now your keyboard seems broken | 13:08 |
| pritesh | is any one please help me how to change splash logo in ubuntu 11.04 | 13:08 |
| Dreadtower | No - it's cool | 13:08 |
| Dreadtower | Why do you say that? | 13:08 |
| flan_suse | Queops: Will check itout. | 13:08 |
| Queops | apt-cache depends -i somepackage | cut -f 2 -d ':' | tr '\n' ' '. | 13:09 |
| Queops | this should show all dependencies of a package in a nice form | 13:09 |
| Queops | flan_suse: i thought it might be useful | 13:09 |
| SAngeli_ | I have a mdadm question: with two disks, raid-1 before creating the array is it necessary to first create a partition in one of the two hd or can this be skipped? | 13:09 |
| Queops | so you can purge the packages easily. | 13:09 |
| flan_suse | Queops: is that last period required? | 13:10 |
| Queops | flan_suse: I took it from askubuntu.com, it should. | 13:10 |
| Calinou | yes | 13:10 |
| Calinou | . = current directory | 13:10 |
| flan_suse | SAngeli: Might as well create a partition on each disk that takes the entire space for each, and use the software raid type/label for the partitions. Then do the rest... | 13:10 |
| Queops | brb reboot | 13:12 |
| flan_suse | SAngeli: /dev/sdb1 + /dev/sdc1 = /dev/md0 (raid1)............ sdb1 and sdc1 are software raid partitions | 13:12 |

| amr_ | hello, is there a copy of ubuntu which by default provide gnome 3.4 desktop? | 13:13 |
| KM0201 | weird, i didn't know t-bird had a built in IRC client. | 13:13 |
| KM0201 | amr_: not to my knowledge. | 13:14 |
| DJones | KM0201: I think it comes with the latest version of Thunderbird, only recently added from memory | 13:14 |
| KM0201 | DJones: i dunno, this is the version of tbird i've always had.. just happened to notice it. | 13:15 |
| Ken8521 | the fonts kinda suck. | 13:16 |
| Ken8521 | i imagine i could figure out a way to change that if i wanted | 13:16 |
| amr_ | if I install new copy of ubutnu 12 then install the gnome from software center ,I will have it just working or other stuff need to be handled ? | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | amr_ you mean gnome-shell? | 13:16 |
| Ken8521 | amr_: it *should* work... i don't like 3.x so i've not tried it | 13:16 |
| Nekura | Anybody have any suggestions for loadbalancing software? | 13:17 |
| amr_ | MonkeyDust: yes | 13:17 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm I've been experiencing a LOT of crashes in Ubuntu 12.04 lately, like no tomorrow. automount, chrome, skype, etc... Just all over the place. | 13:17 |
| KM0201 | hmm, weird | 13:17 |
| smartmobili | hi | 13:18 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Sounds like something serious broke, might a glib/kernel thing | 13:18 |
| gordonjcp | Psi-Jack: smells like hardware | 13:18 |
| KM0201 | yup. | 13:18 |
| theadmin | s/glib/libc/ | 13:18 |
| Psi-Jack | gordonjcp: It's not hardware. | 13:18 |
| MonkeyDust | amr_ just install it and get used to it -- (i don't like/use it myself) | 13:18 |
| gordonjcp | Psi-Jack: how can you be so sure? | 13:18 |
| smartmobili | I have one problem, I am using ubuntu natty and it seems my /lib/init/upstart-job script is empty. Is is normal ? | 13:18 |
| OerHeks | Psi-Jack, do a memtest86 | 13:18 |
| Psi-Jack | OerHeks: Already did. Checked out perfectly fine. | 13:18 |
| smartmobili | Hi by the way | 13:19 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm wonderfing if somehow using aptitude, instead of apt-get is causing some package related corruption of sorts. | 13:19 |
| amr_ | Ken8521: and the unity will steal exists too | 13:19 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Yep... Aptitude is broken (on 64-bit systems at least) | 13:19 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: That's why Ubuntu no longer includes it by default on 64-bit ISOs | 13:20 |
| BobDobalina | Is it better to use Aptitude or Apt-Get? | 13:20 |
| opieng | hello all, I have installed Ubuntu. I had Win 7 installed on my SDD and installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my HDD, I try to boot from where I installed Ubuntu, but I can't see to get to the OS Selector during boot up (I think its called the Grub?) | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | KM0201, I just found the irc client in thunderbird as well , in tools/chat status ..neat :) | 13:20 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Yeah, so I recall hearing, but could it cause the all this problem? | 13:20 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 13:20 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 13:20 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: it comes default for server, just not for desktop. | 13:20 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: lol, well i don't feel quite so stupid now... all this time checking my email and never seeing that big "CHAT" button | 13:21 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Maybe, yes, aptitude can cause serious issues with 64-bit (multiarch) | 13:21 |
| hfic | !grub | opieng | 13:21 |
| ubottu | opieng: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 13:21 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Is there a viable fix to repair it? My desktop system at work isn't experiencing these problems, but my home system is, and it's really frustrating. | 13:21 |
| opieng | ummm but I installed Ubuntu after windows.. does that matter? | 13:21 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: I noticed it first with just Chrome tabs constantly dying, randomly, not it's gotten to the point where many other things do it, like skype. | 13:22 |
| smartmobili | ok : trying again to ask my question : it seems my /lib/init/upstart-job script is empty. Is is normal ? | 13:22 |
| KM0201 | Psi-Jack: i'd suspect a RAM issue, but thats just me. | 13:22 |
| KM0201 | or try a clean install | 13:23 |
| Psi-Jack | KM0201: It's pretty new RAM still, and memtest86 passed 48 hours non-stop testing. | 13:23 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 13:23 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it... Unless you find a way to reinstall each and every package, using apt-get | 13:23 |
| smartmobili | so when I try something like /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop nothing happens (since vsftpd is just a link to upstart-job) | 13:23 |
| opieng | anyone? | 13:23 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: That's plausible. | 13:23 |
| KM0201 | smartmobili: try "sudo service vsftpd stop" | 13:23 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: I'd say "emerge -DN world" if it were Gentoo ;) | 13:24 |
| smartmobili | it works | 13:24 |
| KM0201 | smartmobili: although i think that command you listed should work as well... just make sure you're using "sudo" with it. | 13:24 |
| smartmobili | I am root | 13:24 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Actually, I was thinking: for pkg in `dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v '(dpkg|apt|mysql|mythtv)'` ; do apt-get -y --force-yes install --reinstall $pkg ; done | 13:24 |
| * KM0201 sighs | 13:24 | |
| smartmobili | could someone with natty checks if this upstart-job is empty or not | 13:25 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Well that's one hell of a command, also it might fail since I think "dpkg --get-selections" outputs some sort of a header before the actual package names | 13:25 |
| smartmobili | just curious to know | 13:25 |
| user | q | 13:25 |
| AdvoWork | im trying to install a package, and it says Package is not available but is referred to by another package, how can I find out what package so I can get it? | 13:25 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Not that I see it doesn't. | 13:26 |
| opieng | Does this still apply if I installed Ubuntu after Windows 7 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub | 13:26 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Okay, than I guess you could give that a try. At your own risk of course. | 13:26 |
| Psi-Jack | Of course. ;) | 13:26 |
| KM0201 | opieng: it shouldn't... that's for if you install windows 7 after ubuntu | 13:26 |
| Psi-Jack | My setup's pretty easy though, /home is on a separate partition. /'s on SSD. | 13:27 |
| MonkeyDust | opieng 1st windows, then ubuntu | 13:27 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmm | 13:27 |
| opieng | KH Any suggestions for solving my problem? | 13:27 |
| pawan | Is the Debian irc down? | 13:27 |

| MonkeyDust | pawan i'm in #debian now, so no | 13:28 |
| pawan | KM0201: How to do that? | 13:28 |
| KM0201 | !identify | pawan | 13:28 |
| ubottu | pawan: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 13:28 |

| KM0201 | hmm | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | 13WABHP8E better ask in #arch | 13:30 |
| pawan | I tried the default address given in XChat | 13:30 |
| pawan | Didn't work | 13:30 |
| gordonjcp | 13WABHP8E: you could ask in #arch | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | !arch| 13WABHP8E | 13:31 |
| pawan | That's the one they gave on their official site | 13:31 |
| MonkeyDust | 13WABHP8E wrong chennel, this is ubuntu support | 13:31 |
| KM0201 | opieng: did you sett he hdd as first in your boot sequence? | 13:31 |
| Psi-Jack | Alrighty.. Trying an in-place reinstall of packages now. | 13:31 |
| KM0201 | opieng: the ubuntu server is the same as the freenode server | 13:31 |
| theadmin | 13WABHP8E: pacman -Syu vim or pacman -Syu gvim for the GUI version. The Arch channel is #archlinux by the way. | 13:32 |
| KM0201 | so debian is the same channel on both | 13:32 |
| szal | 13WABHP8E, MonkeyDust, gordonjcp: it's #archlinux | 13:32 |
| opieng | I try booting from both SSD and HDD first and they both don't pick up the grub2? I work them first day I installed, but now it seems the Grub2 is lost? | 13:32 |
| pawan | KM201, Okay | 13:32 |
| KM0201 | pawan: like i said, i suspect you're not identified, because i'm there now w/ no problem (on the ubuntu server) | 13:32 |
| lordnoid | ive got ubuntu and windows on seperate fakeraid arrays. I can boot to ubuntu, but i cant boot to windows. Grub doesnt see it and i have no idea what the root is supposed to be with names like /dev/mapper/... | 13:33 |
| mickymills | hi fans, I am having some trouble on Ubuntu 12 where the trackpad freezes. unloading and reloading using modprobe reinstates the trackpad. the error seems to come up using java dependent apps like firefox and libreoffice | 13:33 |
| MonkeyDust | pawan it's not the channel, it's you | 13:33 |
| opieng | KM0201, what do you mean freenode is on the same server? | 13:33 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: fakeraid is bad, m'kay? Don't use it. | 13:33 |
| KM0201 | opieng: that wasn't for you. | 13:34 |
| user | hm | 13:34 |
| mickymills | lordnoid > what version of Windows? | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | opieng type /join #freenode to find out | 13:34 |
| opieng | oh | 13:34 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, there's not really another option for dualboot | 13:34 |
| lordnoid | mickymills, 7 | 13:34 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: Of course there is. | 13:34 |
| opieng | So any suggestion on where my Grub2 has gone? | 13:34 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: There's /ALWAYS/ a better option than using fakeraid, 100% of the time. | 13:34 |
| pawan | MonkeyDust: I connected to the Debian channel on freenode. Thank you :) | 13:34 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, tell me | 13:34 |
| mickymills | ubuntu 12 worked out of the box with my windows 7 install, but its not grub I know that! | 13:35 |
| KM0201 | opieng: have no idea.. like i said, my first guess is it didn't get installed properly or something. | 13:35 |
| KM0201 | !grub | 13:35 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 13:35 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: What's your current raid setup looking like? | 13:35 |
| KM0201 | opieng: try following the instructions in that factoid to restore grub.. | 13:35 |
| AdvoWork | i'm doing some work on an old server, and need to install libltdl3 but it says it is not available but is referred to by another package. any idea how I can manually install this? | 13:35 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, 2 raid 0 arrays, 200GB and 1,8TB | 13:35 |
| gyre007 | im wondering how should I set the thresholds for monitoring the load...I have 4 cores | 13:36 |
| opieng | Ok I will try, hope it works | 13:36 |
| mickymills | anyone know any trackpad persistent errors on ubuntu 12 using compaq? | 13:36 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: So, 4 HDD's? | 13:36 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, no, 2 | 13:36 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, short-stroking | 13:37 |
| MonkeyDust | !anyone > mickymills | 13:37 |
| ubottu | mickymills, please see my private message | 13:37 |
| Psi-Jack | Eh.... That's horrible.. Raid 0 is striping (spanning) only, and pretty much extremely pointless.. Why would you DO that? | 13:37 |
| gyre007 | the highest load should be 4 right | 13:37 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, raid 0 is striping, which is not spanning. | 13:37 |
| mickymills | hi fans, I am having some trouble on Ubuntu 12 where the trackpad freezes. unloading and reloading using modprobe reinstates the trackpad. the error seems to come up using java dependent apps like firefox and libreoffice | 13:38 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: What's the physical HDD's? | 13:38 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, two 1TB | 13:38 |
| mickymills | hi fans, I am having some trouble on Ubuntu 12 where the trackpad freezes. unloading and reloading using modprobe reinstates the trackpad. the error seems to come up using java dependent apps like firefox and libreoffice , whats the problem | 13:38 |
| gyre007 | or am I missing saomething ? | 13:38 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: Heck, with that, you have 2 HDD's. Use part of 1 to install Linux on, the other to install Windows on, and split the first as needed to share data between the two, if you don't do so with the second one anyway. | 13:39 |
| Psi-Jack | Dual-boot success. | 13:39 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, true, but id rather keep my speed | 13:40 |
| Psi-Jack | You're not getting ANY speed hardly with a fakeraid. | 13:40 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, I am. | 13:40 |
| Psi-Jack | And Linux itself certainly isn't using it at all. | 13:40 |
| Psi-Jack | lordnoid: No, really. You're not. | 13:40 |
| Psi-Jack | All you're doing is making the destruction of your data more possible. :p | 13:41 |
| lordnoid | Psi-Jack, I've tested it and the tranfer rate was 50MB/s higher | 13:42 |
| mrs_sheep | hello everybody - my system is unbootable due to "alloc magic is broken" - any ideas where i could find a solution? (google did not halpt too much this time) ? | 13:42 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Tell me if it works (the reinstall every package thing), cause I'm interested | 13:43 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Roger that. Will do. I'm watching it all now, still going. :) | 13:43 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Up to the C's now. ;) | 13:44 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: You realize it's not installing them in alphabetical order but in dependency satisfaction order, right? | 13:44 |
| rahul_ | question, is their con of duel boot ubuntu on the performance of the system? | 13:45 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: It's mostly doing it in alphabetical order, actually. | 13:45 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Since all the dependencies themselves are already installed, it's just reinstalling everything in-place. | 13:45 |
| theadmin | Psi-Jack: Oh, right | 13:46 |
| Psi-Jack | heh | 13:46 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | Is bitcasa.com the best backup solution? | 13:46 |
| opieng | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub I can't seem to find the Boot-repair section. It seems like Ubunutu will reinstall? I am worried I will mess things up here | 13:46 |
| Psi-Jack | 21WAAFEW9: There is no "best" of anything. Best is a measure of your own personal and unique opinion of what you consider best for you, and could be in multiple different scenarios. It is more useful to ask more specific questions you have. | 13:47 |
| opieng | When I boot from the Ubuntu Installation CD that is | 13:47 |
| opieng | anyone? | 13:49 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | Backuping 3TB on a 10mbit connection, how long am I looking at? | 13:50 |
| user | hm | 13:51 |
| theadmin | 21WAAFEW9: 6990 hours, if my calculations are correct | 13:52 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh | 13:52 |
| JasperCoenraats | hello | 13:52 |
| Psi-Jack | Yep, theadmin | 13:52 |
| JasperCoenraats | somebody knows a program like photoshop for ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | theadmin: So like, a few months? | 13:53 |
| gregoryfenton | JasperCoenraats, gimpshop | 13:53 |
| etz | Hello all | 13:53 |
| JasperCoenraats | tnhks | 13:53 |
| theadmin | 21WAAFEW9: Almost a year, actually >.< | 13:53 |
| mickymills | my trackpad stopped working and only started again after reloading using modprobe :( | 13:53 |
| etz | Is there a new version of Ubuntu out yet? | 13:53 |
| mickymills | its happening all the time | 13:53 |
| user14 | In what order is it better to set /, swap and /home partitions? | 13:54 |
| mickymills | apart from that ubuntu rocks | 13:54 |
| deitrick | new version in october | 13:54 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | theadmin: How do people backup then? | 13:54 |
| theadmin | etz: The latest is 12.04, I don't know how you define "new". There is a new release approximately twice a year. | 13:54 |
| mickymills | luckily I still have a keyboard! | 13:54 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | 300gb takes a month? | 13:54 |
| Adie | there is a new version exactly twice a year | 13:54 |
| theadmin | 21WAAFEW9: You said tb | 13:54 |
| opieng | mickymills, ubuntu rocks except for when the Grub2 goes missing.... | 13:54 |
| Adie | april and october | 13:54 |
| etz | What's the name of it? | 13:54 |
| theadmin | 21WAAFEW9: and 300 terabytes is a... lot. | 13:54 |
| deitrick | 12.10 | 13:55 |
| mickymills | grub frustrates , it is very unforgiving | 13:55 |
| theadmin | etz: The name of 12.04 is "Precise Pangolin", the name of the latest unstable version is Quantal... something | 13:55 |
| 21WAAFEW9 | theadmin: I asked 3TB, you said a year, so I lowered my backup need because I don't have a year | 13:55 |
| etz | Is there a beta out yet? | 13:55 |
| hylian | etz: yeah, 12.10 has a beta release. | 13:55 |
| etz | Thanks the admin | 13:56 |
| deitrick | yup beta1 | 13:56 |
| theadmin | 21WAAFEW9: Hm, well, your idea is convert info to megabits and divide by 10, you'll get seconds, then convert that to whatever's comfortable for you | 13:56 |
| opieng | mickymills, yes, its putting me off using Ubuntu altogether as a dual boot with windows 7 | 13:56 |
| Psi-Jack | 21WAAFEW9: How do people backup? They buy backup equipment, most of the time, if their needs are huge. Such as a Drobo or some kind mass storage NAS unit. | 13:57 |
| simosx | opieng, there is an autorescue option for grub issues. | 13:58 |
| Psi-Jack | 3TB is quite a HUGE backup. | 13:58 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm | 14:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Getting these kind of warnings so far: | 14:00 |
| mickymills | opieng > I have had two encounters with Grub, and I fixed both by running grubupdate using the live cd-rom to boot from first hdd | 14:00 |
| Psi-Jack | dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 26802 package 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386': 'Depends' field, reference to 'libglib2.0-0': error in version: invalid character in version number | 14:00 |
| hylian | theadmin: quantal quetzel. I have no idea what that means though. :) | 14:00 |
| theadmin | hylian: It's always "Adjective Animal" | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | hylian a quetzal is an exotic bird, like in quetzal coatl | 14:01 |
| opieng | mickymills, So what do I need to do? I have my orginal CD I installed Ubuntu with. Shall I boot from this? | 14:01 |
| opieng | How do I get to the grubupdate? | 14:01 |
| opieng | would really appreciate your help | 14:02 |
| theadmin | !restoregrub | opieng | 14:02 |
| ubottu | opieng: Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 14:02 |
| mickymills | opieng > Interestingly I get a NTFS error everytime I boot but that is a windows taking over the MBR problem ALSO have a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/24479/no-grub-after-installing-ubuntu-beside-windows-7 | 14:03 |
| opieng | I get to stage 2 "Install and run Boot-Repair" but I can't find the boot repair option? Do I need to go past the option of selecting langauge - English etc? | 14:04 |
| opieng | What is the error msg? | 14:04 |
| theadmin | opieng: Yes, you need to click "Try Ubuntu" and then install the boot-repair tool... | 14:04 |
| opieng | mickymills, is it something like "error Prefix not set" | 14:06 |
| opieng | Ok... "Try Ubuntu without installing".... | 14:07 |
| MorganTheWretche | Okay, quick question; when is 12.10 being officially released? | 14:07 |
| mickymills | opieng: no its NTS File System Error #### | 14:07 |
| MorganTheWretche | Is there a solid release date? | 14:07 |
| Psi-Jack | MorganTheWretche: When it's ready. | 14:07 |
| theadmin | MorganTheWretche: 12.10 means "year 12 (2012), month 10 (october)" | 14:07 |
| MorganTheWretche | ahh, do you think it will be the 1st of October? | 14:08 |
| i7c | MorganTheWretche: 18.10.2012 i think | 14:08 |
| theadmin | MorganTheWretche: It's usually closer to the middle or end of the month | 14:08 |
| MorganTheWretche | Great, thank you | 14:08 |
| MorganTheWretche | Do you guys have a favourite Calendar app for syncing with Google Calendars? | 14:09 |
| Queops | Well I user thunderbird | 14:09 |
| Queops | I use* | 14:09 |
| Queops | with the calendar addon | 14:10 |
| MorganTheWretche | Hm, guess I mean more of a standalone Calendar that sits on your desktop | 14:10 |
| Queops | I get what you mean, an integrated one would be nice | 14:11 |
| Queops | maybe one that syncs with ubuntuone | 14:11 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Welp. progress continues.. Up to gnu* ;) | 14:11 |
| MorganTheWretche | Yeah, see, I have my entire university timetable laid out in real time on Google Calendars. It'd be nice to have it sit there | 14:11 |
| Queops | I use google calendar commonly aswell | 14:12 |
| MorganTheWretche | Yeah, it's pretty standard. Of course, google discontinued Google Desktop :/ | 14:12 |
| MorganTheWretche | I mean, my Mac has iCal which can grab any Google Calendar feed I want. Thought it'd be common enough to be implemented in Linux | 14:13 |
| Queops | It's those little things that aren't on ubuntu and other distros | 14:14 |
| Queops | it will come with time.. | 14:14 |
| user14 | Anyone? In what order is it better to set /, swap and /home partitions? | 14:15 |
| MorganTheWretche | Wish I knew more about Linux programming, I could write my own Calendar application | 14:15 |
| Queops | user14: I believe it doesn't matter | 14:15 |
| cfhowlett | user14: agree with queops | 14:15 |
| Queops | MorganTheWretche: I would suggest trying to extend the already existing clock/calendar app | 14:15 |
| Queops | That would be epic ;) | 14:15 |
| Queops | with reminder notifications | 14:16 |
| user14 | And is ext3 any better than ext4? | 14:16 |
| Queops | using the default notification system | 14:16 |
| MorganTheWretche | I would if I could write Linux programs. | 14:16 |
| cfhowlett | user14: no. ext4 is the default. unless you have a very good reason to deviate, i'd use it. | 14:16 |
| Queops | user14: yes, definitely use ext4, it has good new features | 14:17 |
| Queops | more reliable than ext3 | 14:17 |
| Toph2 | is there a file system in linux that windows can see if dual booting? | 14:17 |
| user14 | And do I need to leave / 50 Gb or 30 Gb will be enough? | 14:17 |
| MorganTheWretche | FAT32? | 14:17 |
| theadmin | Toph2: NTFS, FAT and FAT32 are nice choices for crossplatform filesharing | 14:17 |
| opieng | ok repairing.... I hope this works!!! | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | user14: default ubuntu install is only about 4 or 5 gigs | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Toph2 what theadmin says, but don't install ubuntu on it | 14:18 |
| Toph2 | oh, so you can use FAT, NTFS in Linux? | 14:18 |
| user14 | *to leave root partition | 14:18 |
| Toph2 | i see | 14:18 |
| Queops | Toph2: yes, but make a seperate partition for sharing | 14:18 |
| Queops | And Ubuntu can mount your windows partition. | 14:18 |
| Toph2 | Queops,,, ok,, good point | 14:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Toph2 windows recognizes three OSs: windows, windows and windows | 14:18 |
| MorganTheWretche | *lightbulb* Is Python or Java preinstalled on Ubuntu distros? If so, I could write an application in those languages. | 14:18 |
| Queops | python is pre installed | 14:19 |
| Queops | java isnt | 14:19 |
| MorganTheWretche | ahh | 14:19 |
| velho | GOSH, I just wish the learning curve in linux was shorter... | 14:19 |
| Queops | MorganTheWretche: take a look http://developer.ubuntu.com/ | 14:19 |
| MonkeyDust | velho than what? | 14:19 |
| MorganTheWretche | thanks | 14:19 |
| Queops | Many informations there, specially if you follow links | 14:19 |
| MorganTheWretche | The only thing that scares me is, sometimes it seems like if you write a program based on GNOME, it won't work on KUbuntu and vica versa | 14:20 |
| Queops | Kubuntu is basically KDE, Qt | 14:21 |
| Queops | Gnome uses GTK | 14:21 |
| MorganTheWretche | yep | 14:21 |
| Queops | You can use the apps on both platforms though | 14:21 |
| Queops | the visual aspect will most likely be a little derpy though | 14:21 |
| Queops | specially GTK apps on KDE if I remember | 14:22 |
| MorganTheWretche | Hm, still, if I wanted some degree of... say taskbar notification functions... It may not work with both. Is that correct? | 14:22 |
| Queops | Most likely | 14:22 |
| Queops | Depends on which APi you are using | 14:22 |
| MorganTheWretche | Alright, I like a challenge. Thanks for the pointers. | 14:22 |
| Queops | There's so much stuff out there I don't even know | 14:22 |
| Queops | hehe | 14:22 |
| Queops | KDE uses a different calendar application as well MorganTheWretche | 14:23 |
| theadmin | Anyway, I have to go off, see y'all | 14:24 |
| MorganTheWretche | Hm, I'll probably choose to develop for GNOME or even Unity | 14:24 |
| baizon | nice to hear | 14:24 |
| Queops | Oh MorganTheWretche I forgot, if you don't use Thunderbird you can take a look at evolution, I don't know how integrated it is atm but evolution used to have some kind of calendar intregation with the default calendar app i think | 14:25 |
| MorganTheWretche | alright, I'll look into it | 14:25 |
| opieng | Ok, the boot repair has seem to work, I hope it doesn't get lost again | 14:25 |

| Guest6272 | i have access to cd-rs, dvd-rws, 8 gb usb, and an external hd... what would be best? | 14:32 |
| bazhang | Guest6272, the usb stick and unetbootin | 14:33 |
| Adie | usb in my opinion | 14:33 |
| Psi-Jack | Guest6272: There is no "best" of anything. Best is a measure of your own personal and unique opinion of what you consider best for you, and could be in multiple different scenarios. It is more useful to ask more specific questions you have. | 14:33 |
| cfhowlett | Guest6272: for convenience, usb | 14:33 |
| deadmund | Guest6272: Tough choice... not the cd-r (can't erase it). | 14:33 |
| bazhang | !unetbootin | Guest6272 | 14:33 |
| ubottu | Guest6272: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 14:33 |
| deadmund | Guest6272: Probably usb is fastest | 14:33 |

| Sachiru | !hashes > Sachiru | 14:34 |
| ubottu | Sachiru, please see my private message | 14:34 |
| Guest6272 | should i use a certain application to put it onto the usb? | 14:34 |
| cfhowlett | Guest6272: unetbootin | 14:34 |
| deadmund | unetbootin ftw | 14:34 |
| Guest6272 | ? | 14:34 |
| Adie | you asked what application to use, two people said "unetbootin" | 14:35 |
| Adie | ^_^ | 14:35 |
| Guest6272 | should i format the usb in any particular way? | 14:36 |
| Guest6272 | im a noob.. | 14:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Adie: Actually, only 1 person said it. | 14:36 |
| Queops | Guest6272: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ these are my favorite ones | 14:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Adie: The ohyer was a bot. :p | 14:36 |
| Adie | o | 14:36 |
| Queops | Linux live usb does all the work for you, including formatting the usb drive | 14:36 |
| Queops | and so do the others | 14:36 |
| Queops | but I know for a fact that linux live usb checks the checksum | 14:36 |
| Guest6272 | cool deal | 14:37 |
| Queops | But, windows only | 14:37 |
| Queops | if you are on linux get unetbootin or something | 14:37 |
| bnwkeys | Noob question alert! I need to manually install my wifi driver on a laptop, that has a fresh ubuntu install. I don't have a wired internet connection to use, and I can't find a driver download center in the support. Am I missing something here? | 14:37 |
| Adie | if using unetbootin, I think it should be fat32 | 14:37 |
| Psi-Jack | Guest6272: So, is there a particular reason you specifically used a guest nick with those specific numbers? :p | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett | bnwkeys: is this for a broadcom wifi? | 14:37 |
| Adie | it never seemed to format my usb drives on its own | 14:38 |
| Psi-Jack | Cause auto-generated nicks have 5 digits, not 4. | 14:38 |
| Queops | cfhowlett: I think you will win with that guess :P | 14:38 |
| Guest6272 | im making it on windows 7 but the comp that needs it came with vista but currently has nothing | 14:38 |
| * cfhowlett bets $1 | 14:38 | |
| bnwkeys | i think it is a broadcom wifi, the laptop is a dell inspiron 1501 | 14:38 |
| * Queops bets cfhowlett's one dollar | 14:38 | |
| Queops | Bingo! | 14:38 |
| Guest6272 | i couldnt figure out how to create an account | 14:39 |
| cfhowlett | bnwkeys: yep. bcom43**. you're in luck. you can do it all the installation directly from the boot media. wait one. | 14:39 |
| Guest6272 | at psi | 14:39 |
| Adie | Guest6272, unetbootin is an application that will put a ubuntu .iso on the flash drive in such a way that you can boot from it | 14:39 |
| Psi-Jack | Guest6272: /nick newnick | 14:39 |
| Psi-Jack | And wait a sec... | 14:39 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm | 14:40 |
| Queops | Adie: does unetbootin check the hash? | 14:40 |
| Psi-Jack | This channel forwards to #ubuntu-unregged, but it seems that it's not defaultly account restricted. | 14:40 |
| Adie | Queops, no | 14:40 |
| Queops | Guest6272: since your previous download was corrupted and you are not comfortable on how to verify the ISO integrity just use the linuxlive one | 14:41 |
| Queops | At least we assume it was. | 14:41 |
| Guest6272 | mtay | 14:42 |
| cfhowlett | bnwkeys: grr. China is throttling internet again, so my connection is too slow to do the search. here's the deal; your boot cdrom/usb has 5 files that you can copy to your desktop. then use terminal to install them, modprobe to activate and you've got internet. Takes about 5 minutes. Search: ubuntu + broadcom + no internet access this might be a good link http://www.ehow.com/how_7296322_install-driver-network-ubuntu-10_4.html | 14:42 |

| bnwkeys | cfhowlett: thanks a bunch, that's a lot of help, hopefully this frankensteined dell laptop will be cruising on ubuntu in no time :D | 14:44 |
| Queops | bnwkeys: I had to do that with my laptop as well | 14:44 |
| Psi-Jack | Well, this is trucking on along reinstalling all packages now that it's hit the lib* | 14:44 |
| cfhowlett | bnwkeys: it's actually a pretty slick fix. also, better than compiling the driver from broadcom. | 14:45 |
| Queops | True | 14:45 |
| opieng | can I install pyqt4 on a virtual machine Ubuntu install? | 14:45 |
| Queops | I remember just dpkg -i the package | 14:45 |
| Queops | and it worked for me | 14:45 |
| bnwkeys | sweet, sounds good | 14:45 |
| Queops | opieng: virtual machine or not pyqt4 should be available | 14:45 |

| Psi-Jack | Ozette: share. | 14:48 |
| ozette | share a folder? | 14:48 |
| ThinkT510 | ozette: thats what shared folders are for | 14:48 |
| ratcheer | Guest6272: Did you check the md5sum? | 14:48 |
| iwak-piyek | ozette, install samba and share | 14:48 |

| cfhowlett | Guest6272: only if the hashcheck doesn't match. Also, use the .torrent download method - fewer download problems | 14:48 |

| abhinavmehta | I'm having few machines in my local LAN(wifi network) using mac/win/ubuntu. Recently, I found that at times my ubuntu machine stops responding to local ping requests randomly after running sometime…does anyone know, why this happens..? | 14:49 |
| ozette | I'll see what I can do, thank you | 14:49 |
| cfhowlett | Queops: never say never, but I've had no such problem | 14:49 |
| abhinavmehta | or how to resolve this, without restarting the machine…BTW after restart things get auto restored. | 14:49 |
| Queops | cfhowlett: you made me worried now :p | 14:49 |
| Psi-Jack | ozette: VirtualBox can share local files as if it were on a network. | 14:50 |
| cfhowlett | Queops: hey just my opinion. YMMV | 14:50 |
| abhinavmehta | ANYONE, on why ubuntu machine stop responding to local computers…while internet is working on that machine. | 14:50 |
| Guest6272 | which is easiest for people that dont speak too much computer ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or lubuntu??? i need the computer for college and gaming.. | 14:51 |
| Psi-Jack | abhinavmehta: Describe the actual nature of the problem, in detail. | 14:51 |
| bnwkeys | queops: you probably already know this, but i use hash checksums if I'm concerned about important firmware files being corrupted, like md5 checksum | 14:51 |
| Psi-Jack | Guest6272: They're all about the same. | 14:51 |
| Queops | cfhowlett: found an answer, see the first one http://superuser.com/questions/335182/how-does-a-downloaded-iso-get-corrupted | 14:51 |

| ozette | Psi-Jack, ok thanks | 14:52 |
| cfhowlett | Guest6272: mouse is a mouse, file is a file ... the differences between desktop environments are pretty much cosmetic | 14:52 |
| Queops | cfhowlett: my guess is that it will only corrupt if the machine is with anomalies beforehand hehe | 14:52 |
| abhinavmehta | Its simple Psi-Jack , as I said….my ubuntu box stops responding to local ping/ssh requests after running sometime…though it could access the internet via same local wifi router…but it doesn't respond to local system pings. | 14:52 |
| SAngeli | is it possible to share via samva /var/www ? | 14:52 |
| tonsofpcs | sure, why not | 14:52 |
| SAngeli | samba | 14:52 |
| Psi-Jack | abhinavmehta: No, you didn't /say/ that before. you just said "stops responding to local computers" which by itself made no sense. | 14:53 |
| cfhowlett | Queops: you might be right about that. | 14:53 |
| abhinavmehta | Psi-Jack: ok my mistake…no this the story, how can we solve this..? | 14:53 |
| abhinavmehta | *no=now | 14:53 |
| yeats | abhinavmehta: have you checked your logs for any relevant error messages? | 14:53 |
| Psi-Jack | abhinavmehta: So, ping doesn't even work? | 14:53 |
| Guest6272 | step 4 options has hide created file on key checked and format the key in fat32 unchecked... do i need to change either one? | 14:53 |

| hammommah | i have media centre in lounge room, lubuntu xbmc with nfs share's. I have lubuntu ltsp server running thin clients for my kids. Whats the best way to share certain shares off media center to kids with ro permissions? can you mount nfs shares on thin clients on boot? | 14:54 |

| Guest6272 | obviously that wasnt enough description or i wouldve done it.. | 14:55 |
| ryuguns | Hey | 14:55 |
| SAngeli | is it possible to share folders like /var/www (for website folder) via SAMBA? | 14:55 |
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli: Filesystems do not have folders. Laundry rooms have folders. Filesystems have directories. | 14:55 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest6272: you can type into your irc client | 14:56 |
| mneptok | Psi-Jack: let's avoid pedantry, hmm? | 14:56 |
| SAngeli | ok, Psi-Jack than can I share a directories so I can access them via windows? | 14:56 |
| Guest6272 | think u helpful person | 14:56 |
| Psi-Jack | mneptok: I'll only provide help to people that want to be accurate enough not to use "folder" instead of "directory", but thanks anyway. ;) | 14:56 |
| Queops | Folder is pretty acceptable for me | 14:57 |
| mneptok | SAngeli: any directory is able to be shared. just watch permissions. | 14:57 |
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli: Of course you can, using Samba. | 14:57 |
| Guest6272 | i never said the word folder or directory | 14:57 |

| SAngeli | I now have to learn how to | 14:57 |
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli: However. permissions will be a PITA, but you can override those with samba options. | 14:57 |
| SAngeli | ok | 14:57 |
| Harlin | possible to share ext4 with Windows? | 14:57 |
| Psi-Jack | Keep that in mind. :) | 14:57 |

| Psi-Jack | ratcheer: Samba's pretty easy, like I said, once you take the time to learn it. Samba has two major things about it. 1> It provides CIFS shares that other OS's can access, 2> For Samba to Samba, it provides POSIX extentions over it, so Linux to Linux, it will maintain a level of your standard Linux permissions. | 15:02 |
| Harlin | have to admit... I used Mint 12 for the last year due to the perceived "better looks" .. was starting to think a Linux desktop superior to Mac and/or Windows 7 was not possible yet... however Ub 12 has opened my eyes ... very good job ...

| abhinavmehta | don't want to offend you…but don't understand why people get holistic about os'es(ubuntu/mac/win) etc.. | 15:04 |
| Queops | abhinavmehta: because people like to be productive, others like e-peens | 15:04 |
| ratcheer | Psi-Jack: Yes, that is where I usually lose it with Samba. Special Samba user accounts, special Samba permissions, and of course, special Samba firewall settings. | 15:04 |

| SirDidi | lmg_, kk | 15:06 |
| Queops | abhinavmehta: for some people some environments just don't cut it, thats mainly why | 15:06 |
| Harlin | abhinavmehta, a great company, heck they issue $3000 macbook pros but they suck for what i do. | 15:06 |
| Calinou | huge packet losses occur randomly for me, regardless of OS | 15:07 |
| Calinou | blame your ISP | 15:07 |
| bazhang | !ot | Harlin abhinavmehta | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Harlin abhinavmehta: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | hammommah: I THINK it might be in here: help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP | 15:07 |
| Queops | some go through the trouble of modifying to their tastes, others just find the default environment good enough (lucky people those that do) | 15:07 |
| abhinavmehta | Harlin: thats the lack of awareness…not something wrong with macs, I guess. | 15:07 |
| Calinou | haven't been slapped with !ot \o/ | 15:07 |
| Calinou | (I'm banned from there anyway) | 15:07 |
| SirDidi | Calinou, it only happens on ubuntu | 15:07 |
| bazhang | Queops, thats enough | 15:07 |
| Harlin | abhinavmehta, a good point. it's probably me ;-) | 15:07 |
| abhinavmehta | Queops: agree a bit about env…, but that doesn't mean some os is bad/good…coz it doesn't suits your personal taste..! | 15:08 |
| ThinkT510 | abhinavmehta: stop it | 15:08 |
| Harlin | always subjective | 15:09 |
| bazhang | abhinavmehta, take the chit chat elsewhere please | 15:09 |
| a8s0lut0 | Hello all! I would like to run the open source ATI driver (radeon/radeonhd) but it appears "vesa" is what xubuntu is running out of the box. | 15:09 |
| Harlin | mesa the way to go a8s0lut0 | 15:09 |
| abhinavmehta | sorry if I offended anyone here. | 15:09 |
| abhinavmehta | anyways, anyone here can help me with local ping requests issue ?? | 15:11 |
| yeats | abhinavmehta: from your log it looks like your wifi is getting disconnected periodically | 15:11 |
| Harlin | http://tinyurl.com/d8mzple a8s0lut0 | 15:11 |
| abhinavmehta | yeats: guess thats fine, if I'm able to access internet…but if I could connect to internet, why not local systems..? | 15:12 |
| yeats | abhinavmehta: I don't understand your question... | 15:12 |
| abhinavmehta | because if I could connect to internet, that means my ubuntu machine is able to connect the local network. | 15:12 |
| abhinavmehta | lcoal network=wifi | 15:13 |
| abhinavmehta | and if I could access my wifi router, than why not local-machines..? | 15:13 |
| abhinavmehta | please tell me, if I'm making mistake | 15:13 |
| yeats | abhinavmehta: from the log, it appears that the wifi is getting disconnected, which *should* mean that the machine wouldn't be able to get anywhere | 15:14 |
| sl3ax | hi to all! Can anyone help me with sed ? This is my question (a bit long). http://pastebin.com/DuMX5r6p | 15:14 |
| abhinavmehta | yeats: correct, if that was the case…but on this ubuntu machine I'm running torrent-server, which is always connected to internet(as I can see downloads/uploads)….so it's not the condition not *get anywhere* | 15:15 |
| Queops | sl3ax: ##sed | 15:15 |
| Psi-Jack | oi,,, Torrent. Nuff said. :( | 15:15 |
| voodoofacehole | do i have to have the hide created files on key option checked in step 4 of linuxlive usb? | 15:15 |
| sl3ax | Queops: I've asked, but noone answers. | 15:15 |
| Queops | voodoofacehole: not really, any will do | 15:15 |
| yeats | abhinavmehta: no idea, then - I'm just reading your log | 15:16 |
| abhinavmehta | yeats: ok..thank you…keenly looking forward. :) | 15:16 |
| a8s0lut0 | Harlin, that link is instructions for fglrx, isn't there an open source version I can try first? | 15:16 |
| Queops | sl3ax: maybe you could try some forum or be a bit more patient then | 15:16 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: the open source driver is called 'radeon' | 15:17 |
| sl3ax | Queops: ok. Do you know any sed specific forum? | 15:17 |
| Queops | no, sorry | 15:17 |
| a8s0lut0 | deadmund, how do i verify i'm running that, or run it if i'm not? | 15:17 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: Look at the output of lspci -k under your grahpics card for the 'driver in use' | 15:18 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: If you have trouble reading it pastebinit and i"ll interpret it: paste.ubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| a8s0lut0 | ah, says kernel driver in use: radeon | 15:18 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: there's ur answer. If you don't trust it use lsmod | grep radeon | 15:19 |
| a8s0lut0 | well i used the compiz-check util @ forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check which says vesa | 15:19 |
| user__ | hello | 15:19 |
| cfhowlett | user__: greetings | 15:19 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: Just lspci and lsmod over compiz-check | 15:19 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: **trust lspci and lsmod over compiz-check** | 15:20 |
| a8s0lut0 | cool, thanks for the help... doesn't tell me why compiz basically doesn't work | 15:20 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: what do you mean it doesn't work? | 15:20 |
| a8s0lut0 | well i'm using XFCE in xubuntu, and when i do a "compiz --replace ccp" i can't really use the window manager at all, windows act werid | 15:21 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: Can you be more specific? | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | a8s0lut0 compiz in xubuntu? | 15:22 |
| a8s0lut0 | yea, running compiz in 12.04 xubuntu | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | a8s0lut0 the strangst combination, is it even possible? | 15:22 |
| deadmund | yes! | 15:23 |
| i7c | MonkeyDust: it is. | 15:23 |
| deadmund | it's possible! | 15:23 |
| a8s0lut0 | uh, i guess not? haha | 15:23 |
| deadmund | It is VERY POSSIBLE | 15:23 |
| a8s0lut0 | maybe i haven't configured it correctly? | 15:23 |
| krababbel | impossible | 15:23 |
| db6sda8 | help | 15:23 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: Well, you're going to have to be more specific than, "it's weird" | 15:23 |
| i7c | deadmund: i guess he hasn't enabled any plugins so that he can't even move/resize windows | 15:24 |
| a8s0lut0 | i'll run it now and be more specific, but i have trouble coming back from it / disabling. | 15:24 |
| deadmund | i7c: maybe | 15:24 |
| * cfhowlett xfce is for quite simple graphic displays. compiz is eye candy. So why...? Never mind. | 15:24 | |
| a8s0lut0 | yeah there weren't many plugins enabled by default | 15:24 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: there ya go! | 15:25 |
| user__ | can i install zorin os shell on ubuntu ? | 15:25 |
| user__ | is it possible ? | 15:25 |
| SAngeli_ | when samba is running but from windows I am unable to access the shared resources, when asked to provide username and password, what does it mean? What is that I am doing wrong? I am trying to share /var/www | 15:25 |
| SAngeli_ | I see the ubuntu server but not its shares | 15:25 |
| === Chipaca` is now known as Chipaca | ||
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli_: smbpasswd is needed to add users to the Samba password database. | 15:26 |
| SAngeli_ | I uses it from withing the user shell. I just typed smbpasswd, Psi-Jack is there a different way to seup usrname and password? | 15:26 |
| a8s0lut0 | deadmund, i can't move any windows around because the titlebar areas all disappear | 15:26 |
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli_: You have to add a user, first, such as smbpasswd -a <username> | 15:27 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: that's the window decorator plugin. Make sure it's on! | 15:27 |
| SAngeli_ | I see, Psi-Jack thanks | 15:27 |
| a8s0lut0 | just ran it with some plugins enabled (gnome compat enabled as welll), did see some hot wobbling action | 15:27 |
| Psi-Jack | SAngeli_: You will need to do that as root. | 15:27 |
| vespa | ciao | 15:27 |
| SAngeli_ | ok | 15:27 |
| vespa | !list | 15:27 |
| ubottu | vespa: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 15:27 |
| bnwkeys | OK, so I'm starting to get frustrated :( It says all the packages i need for my wifi driver are installed, but when i try to view my hardware drivers to enable the broadcom drivers, i don't see anything at all listed | 15:27 |
| citymaj | i cant access my root folder....beginner | 15:27 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: great, it's working. Now you just have to turn on / configure the right plugins. Def turn on window decorations. You can also hold down alt and click + drag windows even without the decorator | 15:27 |
| Queops | bnwkeys: did you use modprobe yet? | 15:28 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: Hi. I'm great with broadcom drivers. What chipset do you have? (do you know what I'm talking about?) | 15:28 |
| lickalott | citymaj sudo cd / | 15:28 |
| lickalott | or sudo passwd root, then set a root password | 15:28 |
| citymaj | treminal? | 15:28 |
| citymaj | terminal | 15:28 |
| bnwkeys | queops no i haven't used mobprobe yet, what does that do. | 15:28 |
| lickalott | true | 15:28 |
| citymaj | thanks | 15:28 |
| a8s0lut0 | deadmund, awesome! that brought the titlebars back, still can't drag around. will mess around.. | 15:29 |
| Queops | bnwkeys: deadmund will help you, I loved his/her introduction to you haha | 15:29 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: modprobe inserts drivers into the kernel (makes drivers work) | 15:29 |
| deadmund | his* | 15:29 |
| bnwkeys | deadmund: the chipset should be for inspiron 1501, not sure the specifics atm, its an amd 64 processor | 15:29 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: there is another plugin called 'move' | 15:29 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: I meant the chipset of the wifi device. You can find it in sudo lspci -k If it's too much to read you can use paste.ubuntu.com and I'll help read it. | 15:29 |
| Queops | deadmund: if the drivers aren't loaded will lspci have the info? | 15:30 |
| deadmund | Queops: It'll show the chipset and the drivers that are installed (not being used even) and the one being used. | 15:30 |
| a8s0lut0 | deadmund, lol wow, a plugin for "move". That worked! Maybe I should pull out the compiz "manual" | 15:30 |
| AdvoWork | When I send mail from PHP (sendmail) for some reason, its showing the from, to, subject ok, but its showing the Sent time as 1st Jan 1970. Any idea what that could be? | 15:31 |
| bnwkeys | deadmund: thanks, quitting cigarettes + learning linux = bad thoughts, lol. Hold tight, let me get that chipset info | 15:31 |
| deadmund | a8s0lut0: haha I think that gui configuring thing is the manual | 15:31 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: Take your time :) | 15:31 |
| deadmund | :P | 15:31 |
| Queops | deadmund: oh it must use the identifiers of the devices to match to some hardware list | 15:32 |
| deadmund | Queops: Indeed it does. | 15:32 |
| Queops | deadmund: I was wondering because once I wasn't able to get a device model | 15:32 |
| Queops | hehe | 15:32 |
| deadmund | Queops: The system actually probes the hardware. Looks up the names in some list, then inserts modules based on what it finds. That's why it's so easy to install new hardware in linux usually | 15:32 |
| Queops | deadmund: definitely | 15:33 |
| acioname | i have a problem with nvidia card driver i get this error when i was trying to install a program with apt-get command via terminal http://pastebin.com/t8VFvZha | 15:34 |
| equex | which compiz plugin is it that makes you zoom out to see the workspaces when you press ctrl alt arrowdown, and then you can scroll left and right and zoom in ? | 15:35 |

| user14 | If /home is like Documents and Settings, what separate partition can I make for storing my files? | 15:36 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: the bcm4311 is your wifi. I have the same one!! | 15:36 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: What (if you know) have you installed? (what was listed in lspci -k for the device's modules or drivers?) | 15:36 |
| acioname | TheLordOfTime:yes | 15:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | acioname: and? | 15:37 |
| deadmund | equex: expo! | 15:37 |
| deadmund | equex: it's called expo, similar to mac "expose`' | 15:37 |
| bnwkeys | deadmund: b43-pci-bridge, wl ssb | 15:37 |
| acioname | TheLordOfTime: look http://pastebin.com/hyvvkXKr | 15:37 |
| krababbel | user14: any you want? | 15:38 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: We need the b43 driver. Hang on a second. Is the target machine connected to the Internet in some way? | 15:38 |
| bnwkeys | d | 15:38 |
| deadmund | d? | 15:38 |
| bnwkeys | target machine has no internet | 15:38 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: The easiest way to do it is to get online (only briefly). Can you do that? | 15:39 |
| bnwkeys | deadmund: i don't have a wired connection, i'm sitting on a neighbor's wifi, using my desktop compy | 15:39 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: alright, let's try this first. sudo modprobe b43 (although I don't think it will work). | 15:39 |
| user14 | krababbel, can I PM you? | 15:40 |
| krababbel | user14: just ask here | 15:40 |

| Ebbers | My input sound is working but not my output sound. Any ideas OS= Ubuntu 10.04? | 15:40 |

| Queops | :D | 15:40 |
| user14 | krababbel, alright, what mount point can I use then? | 15:40 |
| bnwkeys | lol | 15:40 |

| BluesKaj | reduz2, using network manager ? | 15:41 |
| krababbel | user14: /home/user14 would be your usual home dir. So the mount point would be the same. I never did this after setup. Have you already installed Ubuntu? | 15:41 |
| usr13 | reduz2: What do you see in /etc/resolv.conf? nameserver 127.0.0.1 ? | 15:41 |

| user14 | krababbel, no, I've already spent a day planning partitions =( | 15:42 |
| krababbel | user14: You would mount /dev/sda2 /home for example, or even /home/user | 15:42 |
| reduz2 | user14, no, many "nameserver" lines | 15:42 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: We'll be following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_No_Internet_access (b43 with no internet access on target machine) If you want, because it is noisy in here, you can PM me. | 15:42 |
| usr13 | reduz2: What is the first one? | 15:42 |
| deadmund | bnwkeys: I thought it would say that. | 15:42 |
| reduz2 | usr13, nameserver 200.42.4.203 | 15:42 |
| krababbel | user14: then just use /home as mount point for a partition | 15:42 |

| xangua | amr_: ubuntu 12.04 already has gnome 3.4 | 15:43 |
| krababbel | user14: then the directory /home would be on its own partition | 15:43 |

| user14 | krababbel, OK, so I need to make 3 partitions, root, swap and /home. And will 18 Gb be enough for root partition? | 15:44 |

| equex | deadmund: actually it wasnt expo, i meant the one where you get the workspaces side by side in the middle of the screen, not tiled (like expo) | 15:50 |
| auronandace | insomniaSalt: yes | 15:50 |
| bazhang | insomniaSalt, for 12.04? | 15:50 |

| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 16:46 |
| opieng | just started with linux and ubuntu | 16:46 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, your mod(driver ) is not installed | 16:47 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: I cannot apt-get install ... I have no WIFI | 16:47 |
| anlarye | i've had an issue with 12.04 since it came out. even with a fresh install. i dont get the splash screen. my monitor gives me a message about the video mode cannot be displayed at bootup then goes into the login screen after that. where can i go to get the splash screen back | 16:47 |
| fidel | opieng: creating desktop-shortcuts is - if done at all usualy a bonbon/add-on after finishing the real install. in linux its usualy on you to do so - especialy as some desktop-environment try to keep your desktop free/uncluttered | 16:47 |
| bobweaver | ok you have usb vladimirsanchez or anyway to hook up teather ect ? | 16:47 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: looking for a ethernet cable.. | 16:48 |
| vladimirsanchez | how about the usb? | 16:48 |
| anlarye | opieng: welcome to linux and ubuntu. where you get to tell your computer what you want it to do ... instead of it telling you what to do | 16:48 |
| fidel | opieng: give those launchers a chance - there are several ways/apps to start apps by name just bypressing a shortcut and entering a few letters. | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | sweet vladimirsanchez cat5 (ethernet) would be better but if you can not find we can fix with transferring driver and what not. | 16:49 |
| opieng | thats fair, by the way I tried to install PyQt using Sudo apt-get Install pyqt-dev-tools, but it wouldnt install I had to get it from the software centre, any reason for this? | 16:49 |
| fidel | my personal fav is 'kupfer' but most linux desktops offer 'alt+f2' as launcher by default | 16:49 |
| opieng | yep, I hope to completely switch to linux from windows ASAP | 16:49 |
| fidel | opieng: could you pastebin us the output of your apt-command? maybe we can explain if there was some error output | 16:50 |
| opieng | yep.. on its way.. | 16:50 |
| opieng | pastebin.com/Y634n3Wh | 16:50 |
| bear | stumped with why I can't change my wallpaper, i know how to use dconf-editor to change it but it would be simpler if the gnome-control-center wouldn't crash everytime i try to change the wallpaper | 16:50 |
| bobweaver | openvoid, the name of the package is python-qt4-dev | 16:51 |
| roger__ | roger | 16:51 |
| bobweaver | I thought | 16:51 |
| bear | n e one????? | 16:51 |
| opieng | I did a aptitude search and thats what it came up with? | 16:51 |
| bobweaver | bear, there is a bug for that on launchpad it also affects me. bear run ubuntu-bug gnome-control-center | 16:52 |
| fidel | opieng: there was no error at all in your paste ;) | 16:52 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| bobweaver | openvoid, use apt-cache search <name of package > | 16:52 |
| === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n | ||
| bear | that is what I was trying to do to get it to run again thanks bobweaver | 16:53 |
| bear | i mean i can change it other ways just would be nice to do it in control-center | 16:53 |
| opieng | but when I tried to search for qt in my "search" section (sorry not sure what its called) and it could not find qt ?? | 16:53 |
| fidel | opieng: so basically - your paste shows how it fetched the data of that specific package - unpacked it and did the core-setup | 16:54 |
| bobweaver | openvoid, try apt-cache search pyqt | 16:54 |
| ThinkT510 | bobweaver: you keep tab completing the wrong nick | 16:55 |
| fidel | opieng: what do you mean by 'search function'? | 16:55 |
| anlarye | 12.04 doesn't display the splash screen on boot. monitor gives an error that it cannot display the current video mode. afterwards, i do get the login screen just fine. where can i go to fix the boot splash screen? | 16:55 |
| bobweaver | opps thanks ThinkT510 | 16:55 |

| fidel | opieng: guess you mean the unity dash right? | 16:56 |
| opieng | fidel, yes the portal looking icon with a round white circle | 16:57 |
| bobweaver | anlarye, try sudo update-alternatives --config text.plymouth then sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth see if it helps if not file a bug. ubuntu-bug plymouth | 16:57 |
| bear | bobweaver thank you for helping me to submit it | 16:57 |
| anlarye | k will check those bobweaver | 16:57 |
| CasW | I don't suppose the HUD will still work if I remove appmenu-gtk3, appmenu-gtk and appmenu-qt (to disable global menu)? | 16:57 |
| bobweaver | np bear wish It would work for mine also and stop crashing . Though I did get a new gnoe-control-panel this morning | 16:58 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh | 16:58 |
| bear | bobeweaver really???? | 16:58 |
| bear | what is it? | 16:58 |
| fidel | opieng: tried starting it from cli? not using that package here - nor am i using unity - so i cant doublecheck if it act similar here. | 16:58 |
| Psi-Jack | Watching a full package-by-package reinstall is interesting. Seeing some error showing up that eventually go away after multitudes of packages get redownloaded, and reinstalled. | 16:59 |
| opieng | ok, not to worry, but sudo apt-get install .... is the right method to be using for the installation? | 16:59 |
| bobweaver | correct gnome-control-center keeps crashing over and over again I have 1:3.4.2-0 installed bear | 16:59 |
| fidel | opieng: yep: sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME | 17:00 |
| Foxhoundz | It worked! | 17:00 |
| Foxhoundz | PartedMagic seems to have fixed the issue | 17:00 |
| fidel | opieng: while: apt-cache search SEARCHSTRING << will search the package informations for your SEARCHSTRING | 17:00 |
| opieng | what if I don'y know what the package name is? So far I have been using aptitude search PyQt | 17:01 |
| fidel | opieng: apt is acutaly pretty lovely if you get used to the basic commands;) | 17:01 |
| rochak | could anyone tell me who am I considered when browsing my localhost? am I world or username | 17:01 |
| Foxhoundz | Now the next step is finding drivers for my radeon card | 17:01 |
| bear | i am running 3.4.2 | 17:02 |
| bobweaver | opieng, use a *description* apt-cache search qt creator like that the package is not called that but it will search the apt cache to find it | 17:02 |
| opieng | ok thanks | 17:02 |
| bobweaver | bear, yeah same thing and should be on +1 I would take it | 17:02 |
| opieng | slowly getting used to this... | 17:02 |

| opieng | I want to stop using Windows | 17:03 |
| bear | came up with a samba4 error? | 17:03 |
| bobweaver | opieng, there are many many books tutorials and all sorts of cool stuff out there. Once you "get it " you get it and will be able to do things that you would have never of imagined possible | 17:03 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: first one : b43-fwcutter installed... | 17:03 |
| fidel | opieng: you can for sure us some kind of software-center or apt-gui as well - but it will help you to udnerstand the basics of apt and cli-usage | 17:03 |
| truexfan81 | anyone know where quvi stores its scripts on 12.04? the guy on #mplayer2 says it should be in /usr/share/quvi/lua/website/ but there is no quvi folder there, and i do have it installed from the repos | 17:04 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: but not the last one... b43-fwcutter-installter | 17:04 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, look again | 17:04 |
| opieng | Yes I want to get used to commands and... Bash is it called? | 17:04 |
| bobweaver | firmware-b43-installer << that is what you want | 17:04 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, ^^ | 17:05 |
| bobweaver | opieng, read gregs manual | 17:05 |

| ranveer5289 | truexfan81: for me it's in /usr/share/libquvi-scripts/lua/website | 17:07 |
| bobweaver | Oo vladimirsanchez pastebin apt-cache search firmware b43 and also what software sources are you using . in ubuntu software center go to edit __> software sources and see i9f one is not enabled maybe even 2 or 3 are not | 17:08 |
| xubuntu_ | anyone could help me partition on dual boot on mini mac? | 17:09 |
| lickalott | not I | 17:09 |
| zeppo | i have an ubuntu server thats crashed | 17:10 |
| Psi-Jack | Alrighty! Time for the proof of concept, wether reinstalling ALL packages fixes the problem I had. ;) | 17:10 |
| zeppo | and i've booted it up in rescue mode. which logs should I be looking at? | 17:10 |
| lickalott | zeppo that was a widly vauge problem | 17:10 |
| zeppo | haha i know sorry | 17:10 |
| bobweaver | Psi-Jack, you can also reconfigure packages that are installed dpkg-reconfigure <package name > | 17:11 |
| lickalott | when does it crash? how often, what version are you running? | 17:11 |
| belgianguy | how do I switch my gfx accel to VESA? | 17:11 |
| hfic | !details | zeppo | 17:11 |
| ubottu | zeppo: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 17:11 |
| zeppo | its a cloud server that wont boot up. i managed to get in in rescue mode so i can ssh in to it | 17:11 |
| belgianguy | as I want to test if my ATI driver is making Chrome act all weird | 17:11 |
| zeppo | and I'm not sure what exactly caused it to crash | 17:11 |
| zeppo | but it will only start in rescue mode | 17:11 |
| ikonia | zeppo: a.) what type of virtualzation is it running on b.) what version of ubuntu is it c.) what do you define as "crash" | 17:11 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: all but the opera Browser sources are enabled... | 17:12 |
| lickalott | /var/log may have some stuff. /var/crash may have some stuff | 17:12 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: Am I missing one? | 17:12 |
| Psi-Jack | Bobweaver: I know. But I had so many random things just crashing for no reason. Chrome, Skype, automount. | 17:12 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, screen sot ? | 17:12 |
| Psi-Jack | Chrome tabs specifically | 17:12 |
| vladimirsanchez | O_o ... brb | 17:12 |
| zeppo | ubuntu 11.10 on rackspace | 17:12 |
| ikonia | zeppo: what sort of virtualization | 17:13 |
| zeppo | just realised that it was down, can only bring it up in rescue mode. so I'm not sure what caused it | 17:13 |
| ikonia | zeppo: what happens when you try to boot it normally | 17:13 |
| zeppo | nothing | 17:13 |
| Psi-Jack | Zeppo. Call rackspace | 17:13 |
| ikonia | zeppo: what do you mean "nothing" - please explain the problem, or it's just wasting time | 17:13 |
| bobweaver | whats dmesg have to say ? zeppo | 17:13 |
| ikonia | dmesg isn't going to be much good as he's booted into rescue mode | 17:14 |
| zeppo | i did. they told me to boot it in rescue mode | 17:14 |
| lickalott | if you boot the server can you get a ping through? maybe ssh in to see if you can review logs? | 17:14 |
| ikonia | zeppo: please tell me what happens when you try to boot it normally | 17:14 |
| Psi-Jack | zeppo: You do not control much of the bootup process in a Rackspace Cloud Server. Heck, you don't even have access to choose what kernel boots, THEY do. You're best best is to call Rackspace support, trust me. | 17:15 |
| zeppo | alright i'll call them up again | 17:15 |
| Jagst3r15 | is it reccommended to upgrade to 12.04.1 from 12.04? | 17:15 |
| zeppo | thanks guys | 17:15 |
| ikonia | Jagst3r15: yes | 17:15 |
| Jagst3r15 | how come i dont get an upgrade message | 17:15 |
| ikonia | because it's not an upgrade, just some package updates | 17:15 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm | 17:16 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: http://imgur.com/U7H1k | 17:16 |
| Psi-Jack | Well, so far... Not too shabby. But my Skype is all Qt-ified in looks now. :/ | 17:16 |
| Jagst3r15 | ikonia will system detailssay 12.04.1 or is there no way to tell | 17:16 |
| xangua | Jagst3r15: if you install security updates you already have it | 17:17 |
| ikonia | lsb-release will show the version | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | !versiin | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | oops. :-( | 17:17 |
| bear | man this stinks | 17:17 |
| Jagst3r15 | lsb release dont work :C | 17:18 |
| ikonia | lsb-release does work | 17:18 |
| Jagst3r15 | says package not found | 17:18 |
| Jagst3r15 | or command not found | 17:18 |
| ikonia | Jagst3r15: man lsb-release | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | spelling counts.... | 17:18 |
| ikonia | Jagst3r15: note the "lsb-release" not "lsb release" | 17:18 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, I am not sure why you can not see that. try to read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10796508 | 17:18 |
| === scottas is now known as zz_scottas | ||
| bobweaver | and it is lsb_release | 17:19 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: could it be opendns ? | 17:19 |

| ikonia | thank you | 17:19 |

| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 17:19 |
| wilee-nilee | lsb_release | 17:19 |

| rictoo | am i supposed to constantly alt+tab between apps? | 17:21 |
| === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria | ||
| fidel | rictoo: well you could use somekind of 'dock' or similar | 17:21 |
| bobweaver | rictoo, press suoer+w | 17:21 |
| fidel | there are tons of different ways how to handle window-management | 17:21 |
| bobweaver | super * | 17:21 |
| rictoo | cinnamon was beautiful, but i couldn't get compiz working with it (i love changing window opacities - makes things productive) | 17:21 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: If you have the model number | 17:21 |

| vladimirsanchez | 14e4:4306 | 17:21 |
| vladimirsanchez | 14e4:4320 | 17:21 |
| vladimirsanchez | 14e4:4324 | 17:21 |
| vladimirsanchez | Then you are going to need the b43-fwcutter with the firmware-b43legacy-installer | 17:21 |

| rictoo | fidel, which one do you recommend? i've seen so many. is there some go-to dock? | 17:22 |
| cefege123 | how can I install 'Additional drivers' program? ( I am running ubuntu server with minimal wm) | 17:22 |
| bobweaver | rictoo, hold down super | 17:22 |
| vladimirsanchez | bobweaver: I think it should be firmware-b43legacy-installer correct? | 17:22 |
| bobweaver | vladimirsanchez, read | 17:22 |
| bobweaver | I wrote that | 17:22 |
| fidel | rictoo: nah ...thats pretty user-specific. i loved tint & awn .. but both are pretty special somehow ;) | 17:23 |
| centrelink | cefege123: its called jockey | 17:23 |
| bobweaver | rictoo, you can see that you can use things like holding down super and pressing the number that corresponds to the doc app (I use that all day long ) | 17:24 |
| cefege123 | centrelink : I tried, not found... | 17:24 |
| Psi-Jack | Well, this seems like a total success. ;) | 17:24 |

| Psi-Jack | vladimirsanchez: Your upgrade path isn't direct though. | 17:29 |

| tiredbones | Psi-Jack, your advice to vladimirsanchez, sound like I should do the same. I have 9,10 and I want to install 12.04. would I also need to install 11.04, 11.10 and then 12.04? | 17:34 |
| tesuji | wilee-nilee, j4rg0n: like this http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gnome_ubuntu_panel_thumb.png | 17:34 |
| Psi-Jack | tiredbones: 9.10? You can go to 10.04 and then LTS to LTS upgrade to 12.04 | 17:34 |

| wilee-nilee | tesuji, Or the alt with a right click to see the apps to add to the bar. | 17:36 |
| tesuji | wilee-nilee, yeah I have tried that, but it doesnt work, thanks for your ideas. I never thought an old school linux fan like me would ask for cosmetic things ;) but it just feels like its made for tablets | 17:37 |

| sternfan2012 | smart1 - try XVNC | 17:38 |
| tesuji | wilee-nilee, the new gnome makes the titlebar of a window part of the "activities bar" (sorry I dont know its real name) so I guess it wouldnt make sense to move it around a lot or clutter it with windows. I am just wondering if i can get a list of opened windows constantly on the screen without going to the activites overview | 17:39 |
| cefege123 | yeats: I have no xorg.conf | 17:40 |
| fidel | tesuji: use some kind of dock | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | tesuji, Gnome 3 has an exstension that sits ion the bar, has to be clicked to show the desktops with windows but not what is actually open. | 17:41 |
| tesuji | fidel, yeah i will probably get cairo | 17:41 |
| tesuji | thanks guys | 17:41 |
| fidel | tesuji: if you are into gnome 3 - there is a lovely extension called: Panel Docklet | 17:41 |
| tesuji | fidel, I will check it out! it has been 2 years since i upgraded this machine | 17:42 |
| fidel | butthere are tons of others as cairo, tint2, docky, awn etc ..have fun testing them | 17:42 |
| yeats | cefege123: did you see the first answer to the question (about fgrlx being blacklisted)? the solution doesn't require you to have an xorg.conf | 17:42 |

| bnwkeys | OK feeling really stupid, deadmund helped me get wifi working on my laptop, but apparently it didn't save the changes to my kernel. I have the firmware files I need to make it work, but could someone remind me to install these packages? | 17:46 |
| tesuji | bnwkeys, its usually a modprobe | 17:46 |
| tesuji | bnwkeys, best save it in a startup script | 17:46 |
| bnwkeys | So as I build this system, I need to add package installs to startup scripts? | 17:48 |
| bnwkeys | <- total noob :/ | 17:48 |
| tesuji | fidel, Thank you! docky is almost what I needed. and its apparently "no fuss" according to the readme ;) | 17:48 |

| fidel | question just doesnt make sense ;) | 17:50 |
| tesuji | natsirt, the same way somebody is trolling who says who is better mozart or hayden | 17:51 |

| Guest33135 | i have a question | 17:52 |
| sternfan2012 | what's the channel for ubuntu server? | 17:53 |
| tesuji | bnwkeys, if you have that command look at /etc/initrc or something similar (cant remember) so it gets started at startup | 17:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest33135, then ask it. ;) | 17:53 |
| silver86 | yes james ? | 17:53 |
| Guest33135 | why are my youtube videos or any other music i try playing are fastforward? | 17:53 |
| Psi-Jack | Bah, son of a.... | 17:53 |
| natsirt | usr13: I am shocked there is a #windows channel on freenode. I thought you were trollin me at 1st | 17:53 |
| wilee-nilee | sternfan2012, #ubuntu-server | 17:53 |
| tesuji | bnwkeys, if you cannot remember the command its very hard to help you sorry, maybe somebody else knows your wifi hardware, but i cannot help | 17:53 |

| tesuji | Psi-Jack, backup your data my friend, fast ^^ | 17:57 |
| bnwkeys | Tesuji, excuse my denseness, how do I know the name of the "modules", oh or is it those files, and I just have to be in the same dir ... | 17:57 |
| bekks | sternfan2012: Just ask your questions :) | 17:57 |
| Psi-Jack | tesuji: It's all backed up. :) | 17:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sternfan2012, admins don't really hang on the irc in the support channels | 17:57 |
| Psi-Jack | tesuji: ANd I know it's not hardware problems. | 17:57 |
| __diamondi_ | what are some of the draw backs of using ACL for authorization? | 17:58 |
| bekks | __diamondi_: ACL cannot be used fpr authorization, they are for advanced permission control. | 17:58 |
| sternfan2012 | Q - if I set up LTSP and need to log websites visited - will each individual thin client be in the log? Or just the Edubuntu server itself since everything goes through it? | 17:59 |
| tesuji | bnwkeys, it should be something like 'modprobe bw54' that was something similar to my laptop. you probably have to be in the same directory where the module is located but I am really not sure. I am not the best person to answer your question. Wait for 10 minutes and ask again in allchat | 17:59 |

| theseb | Sorry one last question....does 64 bit ubuntu work well? i've heard on IRC of people having issues w/ 64 bit java and flash iirc | 18:16 |
| tesuji | theseb: but 32 bit applications generally work better unless you need precision computing | 18:16 |
| Guddu | I have a file install.sh.....I also did a sudo chmod +x install.sh .... Now when i execute the file by just giving the name on the command prompt and pressing enter it says install.sh : command not found....What am i missing? | 18:16 |

| WHAT_LEFT | you can't directly, but there are ways to do so | 18:17 |
| tesuji | theseb: I have 64bit and everything works | 18:17 |
| Guddu | theseb: I am using 64 bit and it works just fine. | 18:17 |
| aaas | emph depending on your proficiency..navigate to the directory with the movie file and try 'mplayer <name of movie>' or 'ffmpeg <name of movie>' | 18:17 |
| WHAT_LEFT | theseb: i use 64 bit and things seem to work well | 18:17 |
| theseb | tesuji: wait...did you install 64bit or are you making the case it is better to install 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit cpu? | 18:17 |

| Cpudan80 | Hey | 18:20 |
| sternfan2012 | I use 64-bit on virtually everything - nothing to worry about | 18:20 |
| Guest13234 | what u people think about umplayer best media player | 18:21 |
| tesuji | theseb: there is only so much room for memory adresses in 32 bits of space | 18:21 |
| theseb | tesuji: really? i just got 32bit all nice and i'm not sure if i should REINSTALL w/ 64bit ubuntu | 18:21 |

| Marzata | "Your clock is 9.0 seconds ahead." and ntp works? a fix? | 18:21 |
| tesuji | theseb: how much memory do you have | 18:21 |
| gordonjcp | if you're not using more than 4GB of RAM, there's not a lot of point in using 64-bit | 18:21 |
| theseb | tesuji: 4 gigs | 18:21 |
| sternfan2012 | 32-bit tops out at 4gb ram | 18:21 |
| tesuji | theseb: 32 bit is fine then | 18:21 |
| tesuji | theseb: the speedups are SOOOO small you would not notice them. they are around 8% | 18:21 |
| gordonjcp | sternfan2012: unless you use PAE | 18:21 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: aha! yes i rem that....the point of 64bit is to *ACCESS* more than 4Gb ram | 18:21 |
| mityaz | sternfan2012: I'd say 3.5 RAM | 18:22 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: now it is coming back to me | 18:22 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: but as I said, you can get round that with PAE | 18:22 |
| sternfan2012 | yeah gordon - I have an old dell server that is 32-bit but takes 8gb ram | 18:22 |
| mityaz | PAE is bad practice | 18:22 |
| gordonjcp | if you use 64-bit OSes of any sort, get used to reporting bugs | 18:22 |
| ThinkT510 | mityaz +1 | 18:22 |
| gordonjcp | *nothing* works properly in 64-bit | 18:22 |
| mityaz | It's usually slower with PAE | 18:22 |
| tesuji | gordonjcp: complete bs my friend | 18:22 |
| ThinkT510 | gordonjcp: that is utter rubbish | 18:22 |

| tesuji | gordonjcp: this system works find | 18:23 |
| tesuji | fine* | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | every piece of software out there has got some sort of open bug due to 32/64-bit issues | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | everything | 18:23 |
| mityaz | you know, some linux distros are thinking of giving up *good-old* x86 and stay at x86-64 | 18:23 |
| sternfan2012 | I have servers, desktops and laptops all running 64-bit = just fine | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | it may not be a hugely important bug, but it's there | 18:23 |
| tesuji | you are supposing a piece of code is perfect on 32bit then? | 18:23 |
| mityaz | 64 used to suck about 4-5 years ago. now it's fine | 18:23 |
| sternfan2012 | the only real reason to use 32-bit is if the hardware is 32-bit | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | mityaz: it's getting better | 18:23 |
| gordonjcp | but only because we keep filing bugs | 18:24 |
| emph | aaas: I downloaded VLC, I played the movie, but it's the same: It all goes smooth but then sometimes it slows down or downright freezes for somet ime | 18:24 |
| tesuji | not because youre filing bugs, but because somebody is fixing them, ffs | 18:24 |
| gordonjcp | I'm about to drop 64-bit Precise on this machine and switch back to 32-bit | 18:24 |
| adoet_t | hello, can i install KDE dektop on gnome 12.04 ? with separated account ? | 18:24 |
| tesuji | whats wrong with you | 18:24 |
| gordonjcp | tesuji: can't fix 'em if you don't know about 'em | 18:24 |
| aaas | emph do you have other movies to try | 18:24 |
| sternfan2012 | emph - do you have enough hardware to run what you are trying to do? | 18:25 |
| tesuji | gordonjcp: wait | 18:25 |
| gordonjcp | adoet_t: if you install KDE it will show up in the login screen as an option | 18:25 |
| ThinkT510 | !kde | adoet_t | 18:25 |
| ubottu | adoet_t: KDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 18:25 |
| emph | aaas: Not really, at least for now, but the movie did work well with the windows player on windows | 18:25 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: lol...you are about to do the exact OPPOSITE of what i'm debating | 18:25 |
| emph | sternfan2012: Yes, more than enough | 18:25 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: have you got a good reason to switch? | 18:25 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: if it works, don't fix it | 18:25 |
| aaas | emph do you know how to open a terminal? | 18:25 |
| emph | aaas: Yes | 18:26 |
| aaas | emph navigate the terminal at all? | 18:26 |
| tesuji | never mind | 18:26 |
| emph | aaas: I can open it... lol | 18:26 |
| * aaas 's motto if it works, upgrade it ;) | 18:26 | |
| sternfan2012 | did you install the "restricted extras"? | 18:26 |
| emph | aaas: I only know gksudo, that's al for commands | 18:26 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: i just figured if you got the hardware why not use it like it was meant to be used | 18:26 |
| aaas | emph do you know the directory your movie is in? | 18:26 |
| emph | aaas: Yes | 18:26 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: it'll work, but flash will be even flakier than usual | 18:26 |
| aaas | emph do you know how to use the cd command and pwd? | 18:27 |
| shadedpixel | Can somebody help me with this? http://pastebin.com/dz6TJahN | 18:27 |
| emph | aaas: no | 18:27 |

| tesuji | keshav: good make a live bootable thing, do your stuff and cross your fingers | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Newtoubuntu, might the ntfs need a chkdsc? | 18:34 |

| ray76 | flametail can you ping any servers through the connection | 18:45 |
| wilsonbradley | Howdy | 18:46 |
| sternfan2012 | ping the default gateway | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Yeah, 64-bit system/OS here, so good there. | 18:46 |
| IdleOne | Psi-Jack: Should be, there are a few packages that are i386 only but you would have installed those yourself, they aren't default. | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | theadmin: Reinstall of all packages was a success, so far. Except that Chrome is still having some issues. | 18:46 |
| flametai1 | Haven't attempted to, TBH I'm not the brightest when it comes to the commands for Linux sternfan2012 | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | IdleOne: Perfect. I do know I installed /some/ 32-bit packages myself just for Second Life to run, but that's it. | 18:46 |

| rhombus | What is the name of the Ubuntu package manager? | 18:48 |
| rhombus | I should point out that I am a Gentoo user who is setting up a machine for a family member. | 18:48 |
| theadmin | rhombus: APT is the name of the whole thing. apt-get is the tool to work with it. | 18:48 |
| flametai1 | ray76: And if it can't do that is there a fix? I'm currently having to use windows on the computer that I'm working on because there is no other computer to chat from | 18:48 |
| Graphical | ubuntu software center | 18:48 |
| theadmin | Graphical: That's just the GUI frontend. | 18:49 |
| bekks | theadmin: dpkg is the package management system, apt-get is just a frontend. | 18:49 |
| rhombus | theadmin: ok, that is the command line package manager, same as in Debian. Is there a GUI package manager? | 18:49 |
| Graphical | or apt | 18:49 |
| bekks | rhombus: synaptic is a GUI frontend. | 18:49 |
| theadmin | rhombus: Synaptic, Muon, Ubuntu Software Center... Over 9000 of them >.< | 18:49 |
| rhombus | theadmin: So you can see why I am asking this question, now :) | 18:49 |
| L3gEnD | Ciao a tutti :D | 18:50 |
| hapster | what's the final say on Ubuntu's 12.10 kernel version? | 18:50 |

| ddilinger | i'm running do-release-upgrade from a box running maverick, its updating to oneiric. I get quite a few 'Err http://security.ubuntu.com natty-security/restricted Translation-en | 18:50 |
| rhombus | which is the one that is best supported? keep in mind, this is a for a family member who is computer impaired. | 18:50 |
| rhombus | and does it make any difference that this is a kubuntu system? | 18:50 |
| exaem | rhombus: Ubuntu Software Center | 18:50 |
| sternfan2012 | flame says that he can see the networks (I assume wireless) - but can't browse anything | 18:50 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| rhombus | exaem: lemme see if I can find that in KDE. | 18:51 |
| theadmin | rhombus: The KDE edition of Ubuntu uses Muon | 18:51 |
| gordonjcp | rhombus: if it's for someone "computer impaired" as you put it, just stick with stock Ubuntu | 18:51 |
| ddilinger | after do-release-upgrade complains about some missing stuff (presumably from apt-get update) it still tries to continue, has ~2000 packages to update. The problem is it fails to download various packages and then quits | 18:51 |
| L3gEnD | salve | 18:51 |
| ThinkT510 | ddilinger: you can't upgrade from mavarick to oneiric directly | 18:52 |
| j4rg0n | That worked | 18:52 |

| gordonjcp | rhombus: stick with stock Ubuntu, and Unity | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | rhombus: it's much simpler for everyone concerned | 18:53 |
| ddilinger | ThinkT510: oops, i mean to say i upgraded from maverick to natty, that one was success. i'm now doing the second do-release-upgrade from the freshly booted natty install | 18:53 |
| sternfan2012 | gordon - I setup a netbook for a "non computer" person and used XFCE (xubuntu) - worked pretty well | 18:53 |
| ThinkT510 | ddilinger: why don't you just fresh install 12.04 instead of jumping through several upgrade hoops? | 18:54 |
| emph | Problem: Using Ubuntu, I try to watch a movie both with the default player and the VLC one and, at least if I jump to different parts of the film, the video itself freezes or slows down temporarily (the system is fine, the player is fine, the video itself is the one that freezes, although the sound of it is continuous and doesn't get cut) | 18:54 |
| jcheung | anyone know how i can go about changing chat servers with xchat-gnome irc? | 18:54 |
| wilee-nilee | ddilinger, natty is end of life the repos are not set to run a update stock. | 18:54 |
| rhombus | theadmin: ok, so next question -- when I try to install Firefox with Muon, it complains that it can't authenticate a bunch of dependency packages it needs to install. I thought this was all being pulled from a ubuntu repository. | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | emph: sounds like you may be using non-accelerated graphics | 18:54 |
| anlarye | ddilinger: i would agree to do the fresh install if you are way back on maverick instead of attempting to go thorugh several upgrades | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | emph: or your disk is very slow for some reason | 18:55 |
| ddilinger | thinkt510: because it has various development stuff on it all configured, when i've used do-release-upgrade before there were no hoops, just hitting yes a number of times | 18:55 |
| WARACE | hi | 18:55 |
| theadmin | rhombus: "authenticate"? Hm, I never had such problems, then again all I use is apt-get | 18:55 |
| rhombus | gordonjcp: so far, you have just said things, but not really supported them. What is wrong with Kubuntu? | 18:55 |
| emph | gordonjcp: what do you mean by non-accelerated graphics? If it's of any use, I was able to reproduce any sort of movie using the windows player in windows | 18:55 |
| rhombus | theadmin: muon actually uses that term. | 18:55 |
| MonkeyDust | ddilinger if you're skilled enough to be a developer, you should have had a separate /home partition | 18:55 |
| exaem | d | 18:56 |
| WARACE | anyone available I need a little bit of direction I am looking to deploy a server with Apache and a mail server | 18:56 |
| sternfan2012 | emph - are you saying the PC you are using used to have windows and ran movies fine? But you put ubuntu on it and now its slow? | 18:56 |
| gordonjcp | emph: well, depending on your graphics hardware, you may need a proprietary binary-blob driver | 18:56 |
| ddilinger | MonkeyDust: the problem isnt backups, or even home dir thats easy. i just didn't want to reconfigure a bunch of stuff :P | 18:56 |
| MonkeyDust | WARACE maybe #ubuntu-server suits you better | 18:56 |
| subz3r0 | jcheung, you should not use xchat-gnome version. this version is more likely castrated... use the plain xchat version | 18:56 |
| emph | sternfan2012: Exactly | 18:56 |
| gordonjcp | rhombus: are you having problems installing just now? Well then... | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | ddilinger, your in natty right? | 18:57 |
| emph | gordonjcp: Where can I get that? | 18:57 |
| ddilinger | wilee-nilee: yes, the upgrade to natty worked great | 18:57 |
| sternfan2012 | warace - what kind of email server? | 18:57 |
| ddilinger | wilee-nilee: if i have to, i will just install the latest directly via a usb stick, just would rather not | 18:57 |
| wilee-nilee | ddilinger, natty is end of life you need to to a end of life upgrade from it. | 18:57 |

| emph | ubottu: Thanks, ubottu | 19:01 |
| sternfan2012 | as for Apache - that's pretty basic - I use webmin just for the speed of getting it up and running | 19:01 |
| hfic | Apwbdjp, it would still grab anything listed with 'smb'. ..but still no nothing running. I just had it installed and I've been messing with a problem for several days. So I figured I would just start fresh | 19:01 |

| Apwbdjp | hfic, so sudo stop/start smbd gives nothing? | 19:02 |
| larsvdv | i cant watch anything on my laptop | 19:02 |
| rhombus | gordonjcp: um...No, I am not having problems installing. I have a question that you seem unable to answer. | 19:02 |
| subz3r0 | Boreeas, check ext3rminator or photorec | 19:02 |

| subz3r0 | hfic, "sudo service smbd reload" | 19:04 |
| subz3r0 | or restart | 19:04 |
| rhombus | gordonjcp: why does muon report that it is unable to authenticate package dependencies when I install firefox? | 19:04 |
| hfic | subz3r0, entbox@boc1:/$ sudo service smbd reload | 19:04 |
| hfic | reload: Unknown instance: | 19:04 |
| gordonjcp | rhombus: well, without seeing the error message *verbatim* I can't really answer | 19:05 |
| subz3r0 | hfic, so its not running in the background. check the samba logs why its not starting | 19:05 |

| sliddjur | Hello does linux mint and ubuntu basicly have the same commands ? | 19:07 |
| sliddjur | in the terminal | 19:07 |
| dtcrshr | basically yes | 19:07 |
| subz3r0 | yes | 19:07 |
| subz3r0 | like all linux distros | 19:07 |
| hfic | subz3r0, ok I get spammed with 'error opening config file'.. I'm assuming its looking for smb.conf in /etc/samba .. but that never gets created. Which I believe is my underline issue. | 19:07 |

| sliddjur | well im taking a linux class at the uni. he said he's going to use ubuntu, but you might aswell use another dist. ive tried both before, and liked the UI of mint more. even though we will mostly use the terminal as a tool in our course | 19:08 |
| WARACE | anyone know where I can take linux server classes online? | 19:09 |
| rhombus | gordonjcp: I can take a look, I am new to muon -- ubuntu in general | 19:09 |
| subz3r0 | hfic, if this is a fresh installation. purge the samba server... "sudo apt-get purge ......." after that deltete the configs by hand and reinstall everything. sounds like someting went wrong while the installation. why? i dont know. just use the version which ubuntu will install when u do "sudo apt-get install..." | 19:09 |

| subz3r0 | hfic, if its just /etc/samba you can make the it by urself. just check somewhere for the configs | 19:11 |
| Psi-Jack | exaem: Simple answer? More like, slap in the face retort! | 19:11 |
| dr_willis | theres allready a kubuntu tablet out W4RH4WK . in europe i hear. but its not related to canocal | 19:11 |
| exaem | Psi-Jack: Not at all! | 19:11 |
| subz3r0 | dr_willis, there is no ubuntu tablet out there in the EU | 19:12 |
| Psi-Jack | exaem: I'm all okay with Android and all, but if I had a choice to run fully functional Ubuntu on a tablet like my 10" Toshiba Thrive, I'd be much more FOR that. | 19:12 |

| gordonjcp | Psi-Jack: they are somewhat locked down by default, but on the Archos website there is the page for the "Special Developer Firmware" | 19:13 |
| W4RH4WK | i'm with Psi-Jack, Android is cool yes, but i'd rather have a fully functional "GNU/Linux Distro" on a tablet than this frankenstein linux (sry) | 19:13 |

| W4RH4WK | at IFA i talked to some Archos guys which told me that, archos tablets can be easily "unlocked" (they are not even locked but i call it unlocked here) and you can run nativ linux distributions on it without much pain, but i'd rather have some kind of supported piece of hardware | 19:14 |

| gordonjcp | rhombus: I find KDE to be far too complicated | 19:14 |
| gordonjcp | !lubuntu | Linux | 19:15 |
| ubottu | Linux: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 19:15 |

| gordonjcp | subz3r0: that's a good idea | 19:15 |
| rhombus | gordonjcp: so, what about the repository configuration might be causing issues with authentication? I have a Kubuntu tab, an other tab, an updates tab, and an authentication tab... | 19:15 |
| dr_willis | Linux: if its asking for the cd.. remove the cd entry in your ;sources' listing, via your package manager | 19:15 |
| sternfan2012 | I spent some time with Lubuntu - could never figure out a way to put the COMPUTER icon on the desktop - moved to xubuntu | 19:15 |
| subz3r0 | we dont care what you prefer. if its kubuntu go to #kubuntu and dont mess around in here | 19:15 |

| sternfan2012 | the netbook I just setup has a battery life of about 6 hours with xubuntu | 19:19 |
| subz3r0 | because there is no filesystem on the cd? | 19:19 |

| ActionParsnip | Linux: is it a SATA optical drive? | 19:20 |
| subz3r0 | <Linux> when i put blank cds in it it won't notice them when i put burned cds in there it works --> what should ubuntu mount, if there is nothing to mount? its a blank/empty cd | 19:21 |
| hfic | subz3r0, that part is resolved. I should have rephrased it .. my long time issue, the one that made me try and start fresh ... that problem still continues. | 19:21 |
| subz3r0 | in other words, there is no filesystem | 19:21 |

| emph | subz3r0: Ok, thanks, what does pico do anyway? | 19:26 |
| theadmin | subz3r0: Though, /usr/bin/pico is a symlink to /usr/bin/nano but still | 19:26 |
| ThinkT510 | emph: text editor | 19:26 |
| subz3r0 | theadmin, show me one who cares. i dont | 19:26 |
| MonkeyDust | subz3r0 theadmin try sudo -e to edit | 19:27 |
| theadmin | subz3r0: Actually, some may. Reason is /usr may not be mounted. nano actually resides in /bin so that won't be a problem, but there's no /bin/pico. | 19:27 |

| === roody is now known as roodie | ||

| sternfan2012 | damn - I thought you meant it couldn't see blank DVDs... oops | 19:33 |
| rhombus | Ok -- switching repository servers from the one for Canada to the main one, then doing a catalog update, resolved the problem. Muon is not complaining anymore. | 19:34 |
| subz3r0 | theadmin, its more likely offtopic. but sorry, that doesnt matter. pico or nano are working well in just this case. if the user want to learn more he could just write "man pico" and will see its nano as text editor. so in my point of view it doesnt count. Just fixing the issue counts. i just like it to keep it small and simple | 19:34 |

| ReXiO | ActionParsnip: many thanks | 19:52 |
| tiredbones | ThinkT510 thanks for the pointers | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ReXiO: tried to get some fancy bash-fu to show only the names, but couldn't find it | 19:52 |
| ThinkT510 | tiredbones: i can't remember what i said but your welcome :) | 19:53 |
| puppy_parade | MonkeyDust, there is no built in or at least a tool in the repository to tweak the main search? | 19:53 |
| alecst | sup guys. anyone know off the top of their head why my vimrc is read-only? not sure if this is the place for this question, if it's not i'll leave | 19:53 |
| MonkeyDust | puppy_parade i don't like/use unity, only knew that link | 19:53 |
| puppy_parade | and none of those seem to touch the search | 19:54 |
| Linux | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1184268/ | 19:54 |
| ReXiO | ActionParsnip: haha many thanks I now know Im not on the vboxusers group and it does exist =) | 19:54 |
| * puppy_parade sighs. | 19:54 | |
| MonkeyDust | puppy_parade submit it as an idea in !brainstorm | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ReXiO: could make it then | 19:54 |
| puppy_parade | I can't even find out how it works | 19:54 |
| tiredbones | ThinkT510 EOL 9.10 to 12.04 | 19:55 |
| puppy_parade | there has to be more to it than this | 19:55 |
| ThinkT510 | tiredbones: ah | 19:55 |
| puppy_parade | is there a specific term for the unity search that is run when I press the windows key and start typing? | 19:55 |
| adib | i suppose no one knwos then? | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | puppy_parade: thats called the dash | 19:56 |
| ThinkT510 | puppy_parade: hud | 19:56 |
| puppy_parade | ThinkT510, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD that is what happens when I press alt in an application | 19:57 |
| silverarrow | does anyone know how to make battery icon show charge? | 19:57 |

| Benxyzzy | Ubuntu 12.04: where is my samba share mounted in the filesystem? | 19:58 |
| Benxyzzy | It just says 'smb:/' in Nautilus but I know there must be a mountpoint | 19:59 |
| spiouki | hey I tried to update my avast and when it finished i got an error and now i cant even open it. i got the same prob in virtualbox. this is the log 12:56:47 PM: Deleted stale lock file '/home/saman/.avast/lockfile-saman'. | 19:59 |
| spiouki | 12:56:52 PM: An error occured in avast! engine: Invalid argument | 19:59 |
| adib | why does it feel everyone ignores me... | 19:59 |
| W4sp | Benxyzzy: Does mount not work? | 20:00 |
| MonkeyDust | adib repeat your question from time to time, but not too often | 20:00 |
| ThinkT510 | adib: whats the issue? | 20:00 |
| puppy_parade | adib, http://usa.autodesk.com/3ds-max/system-requirements/ you would probably have to run it in wine | 20:00 |
| puppy_parade | might want to go check their site | 20:01 |
| MonkeyDust | ah wine | 20:01 |
| Benxyzzy | w4sp: I don't suppose it's .gvfs, is it? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Benxyzzy: run: mount to see what is mounted where | 20:01 |
| adib | i thought about wine, but i heard that doesnt run even decent | 20:01 |
| Benxyzzy | ActionParsnip: I did, and ~/.gvfs looked the most likely | 20:01 |

| gordonjcp | adib: have you got 3DS Max? | 20:02 |
| adib | yes | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | adib: it wouldn't take you long to fire up wine and try it | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | adib: if you do, please check the winedb web page, and report your results | 20:02 |
| adib | yeah, but i gotta first fix my ubuntu | 20:02 |
| adib | k i will thanks gordonjcp | 20:02 |
| puppy_parade | adib, A quick google has using blender as the most common response. It probably doesn't run well. | 20:02 |
| adib | im a multimedia design student so i cant really switch to blender | 20:03 |
| puppy_parade | you can try and run it in a VM | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | adib: why not? | 20:03 |
| puppy_parade | if wine doesn't pan out. | 20:03 |
| adib | because i get taught 3ds max | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | adib: ah, okay | 20:03 |
| ThinkT510 | adib: in other words you don't want to | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | well if you need it for your course | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | it's worth looking at Blender anyway | 20:04 |
| Ascavasaion | I am running Lubuntu, how do I change to Ubuntu? | 20:04 |
| spiouki | sorry go connection prob | 20:04 |
| vladimirsanchez | tiredbones: did u upgrade? | 20:04 |
| puppy_parade | adib, if it's 2013 you are looking at, it's probably too new to run on wine as well. | 20:04 |
| adib | ThinkT510: no offense, but i cant just switch as the only one in the class with the teacher knowing like nothign about blender | 20:04 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 20:04 |
| vladimirsanchez | tiredbones: Im about to start ppc upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 | 20:04 |
| adib | puppy_parade: i dont really mind, tough we are probably all switching to 2013 so i might be able to get away with 2012 | 20:05 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: then logout and select ubuntu on login screen | 20:05 |
| spiouki | I updated my avast and it fail i got this error now i cant even open the application ubuntu 12.04 | 20:05 |

| teddyp1cker | hi all | 20:20 |

| silverarrow | subz3r0, I have just bought a new battery for an old laptop, it works fine, just not the indicator | 20:21 |
| tiredbones | ThinkT510, NO - I'll try try md5 thing | 20:21 |
| teddyp1cker | Does nouveau driver compatible with nvidia geforce gt240? | 20:22 |
| silverarrow | subz3r0, it is desktop environment which handles battery icon? I have lxde | 20:22 |

| kieppie1 | hi guys | 20:23 |
| silverarrow | zorgborg, I have lubuntu 12.04, must be a lxde thing ? | 20:23 |

| Newtoubuntu | fixed mount issue earlier. some how windows saved my session after shutdown, therefore it was in use. | 20:25 |

| Newtoubuntu | i have been adding new unity lenses now. This is a fantastic tool. | 20:26 |
| hilikus | is there any way to see my stored wifi password? i don't see any entries in the keyring | 20:27 |

| _LCN_ | is there a way i can manually change the resolution of the login page... can't see it throught my receiver nor on the tv unless they are defined to the standard resolution settings like 420p 720p 1080p | 20:28 |
| wan26 | hilikus, you can go to edit connections and pick wifi then click show password | 20:29 |

| bnwkeys | Hi Guys, new dilemma, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I had first partitioned my HDD and installed ubuntu, leaving a part for XP. Then I installed XP, but it had to inactivate my logical partitions to do the install. Now it won't let me reactivate the logical partitions cuz they aren't primary. Anybody have a way to reestablish dualboot so i can recover my ubuntu OS? | 20:35 |
| subz3r0 | bnwkeys, i dont know who gave you the advice to install unbuntu first... but the better way would be to first install windows and then ubuntu | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hilikus: look in ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/ | 20:37 |
| bnwkeys | subz3r0: nobody gave me that advice, I wanted ubuntu first cuz I'm making it a dev platform. I'm still a noob, but anyways, am I screwed? I don't really want to reinstall both OS's again, but will if I have to. :( | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | bnwkeys: you can probably get away with just reinstalling the boot loader | 20:38 |
| vladimirsanchez | tiredbones: did u get a 'Unable to find expected entry 'partner/binary-powerpc/Packages' error ??? | 20:38 |
| vladimirsanchez | tiredbones: during upgrade? | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bnwkeys: you can boot to liveCD and reinstate grub there. It is WAAAY easier to install junky windows first then install ubuntu | 20:38 |
| subz3r0 | bnwkeys, you could try to use gparted. but it depends on how many primary partitions etc... you have. just give it a try | 20:38 |
| tiredbones | vladimirsanchez: I haven't started yet, still reading | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bnwkeys: leave unpartitioned space when you install windows instead of the default 100% space use | 20:39 |
| vladimirsanchez | np | 20:39 |
| bnwkeys | cool, lots of recommendations, I'll try gparted first, then try using my ubuntu install disk again, definately my mistake for instaling ubuntu first | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bnwkeys: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video | 20:40 |
| gordonjcp | bnwkeys: if your hardware supports virtualisation, run Windows in a VM ;-) | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bnwkeys: you've done it the hard way around basicaly | 20:40 |

| emph | Problem: When I played a movie, it slowed down or downright freezed most of the time. I used the "Additional drivers" application to download a binary blob driver (Propriety graphics driver FGLRX ATI/AMD, the secondary option because the first one didn't work) and now the movie reproduction is smoother but it still slows down occasionally or even freezes momentarily, and it's very annoying. Note1: This is not a hardware problem, I was able to p | 20:46 |
| emph | lay everything under Windows. Note2: This is not a matter of which player I'm using, I've tried 4 now and all of them have the same issue. | 20:46 |
| emph | Note3: The audio never gets cut, it's only the video. | 20:48 |
| mereguillen | holaaaa | 20:50 |

| ammw | anyone here | 20:54 |
| dr_willis | lots-o-people-here. | 20:54 |
| ammw | can someone give me advice on installing ubuntu | 20:54 |
| dr_willis | give us details of the issue.. | 20:54 |
| ammw | ok well first i want to dual boot ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 i have 2 sepearte hard drives 1 500gb and 1 250gb the 500gb haswindows 7 on it the 250 i want ubuntu on it | 20:55 |
| emph | dr_willis: I was able to play every single thing, included this particular movie, running Windows | 20:55 |
| [twisti] | ever since upgrading from LTS 10 to LTS 12 precise, i get these error messages on login. reboot doesnt fix them. can someone help me figure out what to do about it/what it means ? *** /dev/md2 will be checked for errors at next reboot *** *** /dev/md1 will be checked for errors at next reboot *** | 20:55 |
| ammw | what i would like is a optionwhen computer starts up to select os to use but i want my boot mgr to stay default oem | 20:56 |
| dr_willis | ati spends more time and $$ optmizeing their drivers for windows. What are your system specs emph ? | 20:56 |
| dr_willis | ammw: use 2 hard drives. or use a usb flash to keep grub on for booting the linux side. | 20:56 |
| bekks | ammw: Thats not possible. Either you'll have a OEM mbr, OR you have the option to choose. | 20:56 |
| dr_willis | theres dozens of ways to restore the windows MBR if you ever want to. | 20:56 |
| ammw | can i just use what i have now? | 20:57 |
| aLeSD_ | hi all | 20:57 |
| dr_willis | you would need some windows tools to boot the linux install. I dont do it that way. | 20:57 |
| aLeSD_ | I have an atom dualcore and ubuntu go slow | 20:57 |
| dr_willis | and thus you wouldnot be using the OEM Mbr. | 20:57 |
| aLeSD_ | is compiz ? | 20:57 |
| ammw | reason why is back year ago i tried dual booting but on 1 disk windows 7 and ubuntu when i deleated ubuntu tho it deleated my boot manager and comp was garbage | 20:57 |
| dr_willis | atom is dual core? | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: after a certain number of mounts, the filesystems are fscked whether they need it or not | 20:57 |
| aLeSD_ | dr_willis: my atom yes | 20:57 |
| emph | dr_willis: I don't know the details right now, but it doesn't really matter, it's not a hardware problem | 20:58 |
| dr_willis | ammw: comp needed to have the 3windows mbr reinstalled... | 20:58 |
| [twisti] | gordonjcp: i would happily accept that, if they were | 20:58 |
| [twisti] | but like i said, they arent | 20:58 |
| aLeSD_ | dr_willis: dualcore with hyperthreading | 20:58 |
| [twisti] | i rebooted over ten times, still getting the message | 20:58 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: tried fscking manually? | 20:58 |
| emph | dr_willis: Do you know of an open-source equivalent driver I could use? | 20:58 |
| aLeSD_ | Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N550 | 20:58 |
| wan26 | How many processors can ubuntu take | 20:58 |
| fommil | hi all - can somebody please recommend a command line tool to a) extract page ranges from a PDF file AND b) split a PDF which has been printed "two on a page" back into single sheet pages ? | 20:58 |
| [twisti] | gordonjcp: dont really know what that is or how i would do that | 20:58 |
| ammw | so should i just install ubuntu then and let it decide what to use or? | 20:58 |
| dr_willis | emph: theres only the ATI drivers in the repos, and the fglrx drivers.. | 20:58 |
| aLeSD_ | I think the prob is compiz ..... suggestons ? | 20:58 |
| gordonjcp | !fsck | 20:58 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:58 |
| dr_willis | aLeSD_: use lubuntu, or unity-2d. But my 2 netbooks seem to handle Unity 3d with compiz fine. | 20:59 |
| aLeSD_ | dr_willis, I use external moinitor with fullHD | 20:59 |
| [twisti] | im a bit scared to try those commands, since its a headless server on the other side of the world | 20:59 |
| trix`G | Hi guys | 20:59 |
| aLeSD_ | ah | 21:00 |
| aLeSD_ | the problem is in moving windows | 21:00 |
| mega1 | should i upgrade from 10.04 to 12 | 21:00 |
| trix`G | I have an Alienware m17x-r2 laptop, and my radeon video card keeps overheating and causing the laptop to shut off. | 21:00 |
| aLeSD_ | no no downgrade to 5.04 | 21:00 |
| trix`G | I've been watching the fans while this happens and it's clear that they aren't going full speed even when the laptop dies | 21:00 |
| trix`G | so, I'm wondering if anyone can help me getting fancontrol working so I can speed up the fans? | 21:01 |
| dr_willis | aLeSD_: and your CPU is a Atom? My netbooks had laggy playback in windows and linux with FULL 1080P hd video. i always reencoded them down to a less cpu intensive size/codec and they would play fine. | 21:01 |
| dr_willis | mega1: if you need the features. | 21:01 |
| samuel_ | Hi. Can anybody help me please? | 21:01 |
| hfic | ok so I'm starting to make headway I think into my smb issues. I'm able to access shares now .. kinda. I keep getting 'unable to mount location , failed to mount windows share' | 21:01 |
| [twisti] | mega1: for what its worth, ever since i did that, everyone is complaining that my server is laggy | 21:02 |
| trix`G | I have tried following instructions google brought me to set up fancontrol package and pwmconfig and such, but it fails at the pwmconfig step with "there are no pwm devices found" even though the sensors-detect program found and installed the coretemp module | 21:02 |
| aLeSD_ | dr_willis: never tryed fullHDF content .. I use the FullHD monitor as desktop | 21:02 |
| mega1 | will it cause problems | 21:02 |
| wan26 | trix`G, dumb question but is acpi on? | 21:02 |
| dr_willis | aLeSD_: the type of monitor wouldent matter.. the video codec could. | 21:03 |
| samuel_ | can someone help me please? | 21:03 |
| trix`G | wan26: Is that a kernel module? "lsmod | grep acpi" did not show a result | 21:03 |
| dr_willis | samuel_: have you even asked a question? | 21:03 |
| gordonjcp | !help | samuel_ | 21:04 |

| dr_willis | ive given up on flash and just use the various flash-replacer extensions and flash downloader addons for my browsers. :) | 21:06 |
| samuel_ | yes | 21:06 |
| Cowz | have you downloaded the most recent version? | 21:06 |
| dr_willis | samuel_: and how did you install flash? | 21:06 |
| dr_willis | samuel_: and what happens on youtube.com when you try to watch a video? | 21:06 |
| Cowz | I suggest you get a Firefox addon called flash-aid | 21:07 |
| Cowz | get it, run it, and it will do the rest for you | 21:07 |
| samuel_ | I get a white screen | 21:07 |
| wan26 | trix`G, maybe have a look at acpitool, to change the fan back to auto | 21:07 |
| Cowz | 0_o | 21:07 |
| samuel_ | where can I download flash-aid? | 21:07 |
| trix`G | wan26: I don't really want auto, that has problems. I want to manually set the fan speeds to run at full 100% all of the time | 21:08 |
| manas_b | on the internet | 21:08 |
| Cowz | open mozilla, go to tools>add-ons, then search for flash-aid | 21:08 |
| Cowz | I need help recoloring stuff on x chat =/ | 21:09 |
| IdleOne | Cowz: you can try #xchat | 21:10 |

| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, what would be a perfect video page for a linuxer? | 21:16 |
| dr_willis | brontosaurusrex: huh? | 21:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, a download file link, or something else? | 21:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, perfect youtube | 21:17 |
| dr_willis | Not sure what you are asking.... | 21:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, flash = problem, what would be a replacement? | 21:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | for video | 21:17 |
| dr_willis | brontosaurusrex: html5/webm youtube is allready doing it for many of their videos. | 21:18 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: Everything the author of a page offers you as alternative. | 21:18 |
| dr_willis | theres always been alternatives to flash.. | 21:18 |
| dr_willis | Theres even java based players | 21:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, bekks ok, so "wget http://linktofile.mp4" is cool? | 21:18 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: You are mixing up things hopelessly. | 21:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, what do you mean? | 21:19 |
| bekks | wget has nothing to do with watching a video. wget is a download tool. | 21:19 |
| dr_willis | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4856913/flash-video-alternative | 21:19 |
| bekks | and mp4 has nothing to do with flash, nor it is a replacement for interactive contents, because mp4 is video only. | 21:19 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, ok, then : mplayer file.mp4 or webm | 21:19 |
| StinkyTaco | rather than pay someone for usenet access cant I just run my own usenet server? or does that cost money too? TIA :) | 21:20 |
| dr_willis | flash i thinkis so problematic because it got pushed into the 'video player' role. | 21:20 |
| dr_willis | StinkyTaco: you can run whatever servers you want.. | 21:20 |
| dr_willis | but usenet is a network of servers.. you can run your own newsgroup server if you wanted. | 21:21 |
| dr_willis | been years since i last used usenet. ;) | 21:21 |
| emph_ | I've downloaded a linux ATI driver from the official website, how do I run it? (.run format) | 21:21 |
| StinkyTaco | will I be able to connect to other usenet servers too? | 21:21 |
| mindstorm | chmod +x and ./run | 21:21 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| dr_willis | emph_: stop the X server, make the file executable. run it as root 'sudo ./whatever.run' good luck getting it working. | 21:21 |
| subz3r0 | bekks: that is definetely not true. mp4 is just a container. both will work. audio and video | 21:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, a player that can switch is obviously a poor solution, since a possibly small webmaster will not have resources to preapare N files | 21:22 |
| emph_ | dr_willis: I have no idea how to do any of that, I'm a Linux newbie | 21:22 |
| Newtoubuntu | how do i make programs default, using details never works. | 21:22 |

| dr_willis | emph_: i would suggest spending a half hour reading some bash tutorials to get somne shell basics learned. | 21:22 |
| samuel_ | That is what i get. | 21:23 |
| emph_ | dr_willis: I'll do that, but for now I'd like to get this over with, how do I do it to simply run a .run program? | 21:23 |
| subz3r0 | emph_, ./blabla.run | 21:24 |
| samuel_ | That's what I get ---> http://oi50.tinypic.com/vd0382.jpg | 21:25 |
| mindstorm | make it executable i.e. chmod +x file.run ... then execute it via cli by using "sudo ./file.run" | 21:25 |
| StinkyTaco | Yeah, my ISP does not have usenet access anymore, I was going to try running a usenet server, so I can download some other emph_ ./.run or sh .run I think, I am new too | 21:26 |
| subz3r0 | emph_, maybe you must make it first executable with: chmod +x blabla.run | 21:26 |
| brontosaurusrex | mindstorm, you dont run unknown scripts as sudo | 21:26 |
| subz3r0 | emph_, do not follow his step.... if you dont need sudo, dont use it | 21:26 |
| Newtoubuntu | i fixed my question. no one knew?!!? wow | 21:26 |
| subz3r0 | like brontosaurusrex said... you wont run unknown scripts as root | 21:27 |

| ianliu | Does anyone knows if LLDB works on Ubuntu? | 22:21 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: using resolv.conf is only a temporary solution, a reboot will probably set that back to previous settings (due to N-M in 12.04 - resolv.conf is deprecated) :| | 22:21 |
| Nightwalkerkg | andrewaclt No,i have windows installed for about five months now. | 22:21 |

| ActionParsnip | gah | 22:21 |
| Daghdha | no ActionParsnip | 22:21 |
| Daghdha | Over vanc | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: updates may fix things | 22:21 |

| Troy^ | zykotick9: yea you are right.. i had the same problem | 22:22 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: what are the symptoms of the problem you're seeing? There's nothing obvious in that log tail | 22:22 |
| andrewaclt | Nightwalkerkg, I would start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 22:22 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, cant start dovecot. | 22:22 |
| bfortified_ | ActionParsnip, no go still get all errs and Failed to fetch | 22:22 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i'm not refering to the original issue - on that your probably right (i have 0 idea)... i was just mentioning that resolv.conf is no longer a good answer for things... :( | 22:23 |
| gordonjcp | ianliu: oh, don't see why not | 22:23 |
| hfic | jagginess, perhaps you have lag on your end.. I've been replying the whole time. | 22:23 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, I can telnet into postfix though | 22:23 |
| andrewaclt | Nightwalkerkg, did you have a working linux install? Or is it simply not booting from the cd? | 22:23 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: ahh OK. Look at /var/log/dovecot.log | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bfortified_: did you run the command as given, I borked it a bit :( | 22:23 |
| bfortified_ | i did | 22:23 |

| Daghdha | Nope; 12.04 and UNity all fine and well. Workspace implementation, abominable. | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bfortified_: try: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf and you can now run updates | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bfortified_: I revised the command | 22:24 |
| Nightwalkerkg | andrewaclt No luck. I tryed with tons of stuff to fix the grub. I had ubuntu and mint before,but i formated the whole pc about a year ago and i have been using winows since then. I want to get back to linux now. | 22:24 |
| jagginess | hfic, there's no lag.. I got zero feedback on anything. Can't help you if you give zero feedback. | 22:24 |
| hfic | Say I have smb shares that are currently sharing. However, the shares are located in another file that I'm not sharing . I'm getting a 'unable to mount location' error on the client trying to access. Could the reason be because I'm not sharing the main file but the files inside of it instead? | 22:24 |
| Nightwalkerkg | I have update bios,so i think that might be the problem. The problems started since then. | 22:24 |
| Troy^ | zykotick9: nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and added nameserver 8.8.8.8 fixed it for me | 22:24 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, there isnt a dovecot.log file | 22:24 |
| bfortified_ | ahh i should have looked closer | 22:24 |

| bfortified_ | Troy^, ActionParsnip trying a reboot but dont think it worked | 22:28 |
| Troy^ | bfortified_: also add nameserver 8.8.8.8 to /etc/network/interfaces | 22:29 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: Whilst I do that, look in "/etc/default/dovecot" . Try removing the comment prefix from "ALLOW_COREDUMPS=1" . That might catch a crash dump in "/var/crash" . Also, look in /var/log/kern.log after you've tried starting the service for any SIGSEGV error reports at the time you started the service | 22:29 |

| SvenHH | hi everyone, on my installation of 12.04 the 3d desktop does not work with the nvidia driver 304.43. Can anyone help? | 22:29 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, I can't find that line | 22:30 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: last time my server restarted, it wrote to "/var/log/dovecot.log" this: "2012-07-19 01:08:38 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled)" | 22:30 |
| bfortified_ | Troy^, didnt have to "also add nameserver 8.8.8.8 to /etc/network/interfaces" should i anyway? | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | SvenHH: you used the additional-drivers tool to install it? or the .run binary from the nvidia site? what is your exact card/chipset? is this a laptop? | 22:30 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: Hmmm, let me check on another of my servers | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | !info nvidia-current | SvenHH 304.043 eh? doesn't seem like that supported version, best of luck. | 22:30 |
| ubottu | SvenHH 304.043 eh? doesn't seem like that supported version, best of luck.: nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library.

| Troy^ | bfortified_: if it worked without adding to /etc/network/interfaces don't worry about it then | 22:31 |
| bfortified_ | Troy^, TY! | 22:31 |
| Troy^ | bfortified_: yea np i had the same problem two days ago on my server build | 22:31 |
| jagginess | hfic, if you ask on #linux, i'm willing to help. you're not using linux, but you said *nix. "Mounting" means the client is mounting a network share. | 22:31 |
| SvenHH | i'm using the nvidia-current-updates package on my desktop machine (old one) with a Geforce 6200 card. | 22:31 |
| TJ- | SvenHH: check the log-files. My desktop us running "Installed: 304.43-0ubuntu0.1" without issue (so far) | 22:32 |
| bfortified_ | Troy^, while i have you for file server Im confused are smb/cifs same thing? | 22:32 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, the line in the kernal log is "init: dovecot main process (25571) terminated with status 89" | 22:32 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: That's great - we have an error code. Now to find out what it means :p | 22:32 |
| zykotick9 | SvenHH: fyi, if it's a legitamate "backport" i'm sorry. | 22:32 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, looking into it | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | !info nvidia-current | 22:32 |

| Troy^ | bfortified_: if you mean smb as in samba that is what i use. | 22:33 |
| bfortified_ | k | 22:33 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: See for example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655875 | 22:33 |
| Troy^ | bfortified_: samba is very easy to setup | 22:33 |
| jagginess | bfortified_, pretty much.. cifs is the newer smb protocol, port 445 | 22:33 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: i don't think !info show backport version :( | 22:33 |
| jagginess | bfortified_, pre-cifs is something in 137/139 somewhere around there | 22:33 |
| jagginess | Troy^, btw smb is not samba.. | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | 304.43 is on 12.10 ;) which is what im on... | 22:34 |
| jagginess | Troy^, smb means server message block | 22:34 |
| TJ- | nvidia 304.xx is in precise-proposed currently | 22:34 |
| bfortified_ | Troy^, jagginess thanks! now my repos are working going to muck with samba | 22:34 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: !info only shows 295.40... | 22:34 |
| Troy^ | jagginess: yea i'm fairly new to the whole server side of things just experimenting atm with a ubuntu server | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | good to see some newer versions comming down the pipes.. | 22:34 |
| hfic | jagginess, I'm using 3 different version of nix in my setup. My mounting question was a simple yes or no question. It was a 2 part question, being the 'accessing under the not shared folder' | 22:35 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: +1 discussion in #ubuntu+1 ;) joking. | 22:35 |

| === alexanderbandukw is now known as thekkid | ||
| SvenHH | dr_willis: sorry I'm not used to this but do you suggest to use nvidia-current instead? | 22:36 |
| TJ- | dr_willis: Indeed, and I've been impressed by 304. It finally has proper xrandr support so that gnome-control-center display applet can function, and it auto starts multiple monitors in side-by-side twinview on log-in if it detects them, rather than needing to have saved the layout to xorg.conf | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | SvenHH: try it and see i guess.. this isent a laptop with one of those dual-video card optimus setups is it? | 22:36 |
| jagginess | Troy^, samba provides setting up an smb server.. (samba runs two daemons, smbd and nmbd) | 22:36 |
| jagginess | Troy^, (note the smbd named daemon, it provides service for the "smb" protocol) | 22:37 |
| Troy^ | jagginess: yes right | 22:37 |
| ebs512 | there is an issue with themes not showing up in Ubuntu Tweak or Gnome-Tweak? | 22:37 |
| Troy^ | jagginess: and nmbd was for printer share? right | 22:37 |
| jagginess | Troy^, if you want to access a share, you can mount it with nautilus or konqueror (using smb:// or some other menu option with these apps) | 22:38 |
| btcbuy314 | im using ubuntu server and trying to get automounting to work, what is a good program for that? | 22:38 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: check "man dovecot". You can do a config check with "dovecot -a" | 22:38 |
| Troy^ | jagginess: yea i use mine for streaming media to my xbmc htpc | 22:38 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/W65Xeqzg | 22:38 |
| thekkid | Hello | 22:39 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, looks like a cert issue | 22:39 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: Yes it does "Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set" | 22:39 |
| jagginess | Troy^, newcomers (not saying explicitly you), don't know what a "share" is, technically is a jargon word, referring to the access nodes on the server | 22:39 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: Are you good to go now? You can sort that I'm guessing? | 22:39 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, oh joy. time to figure THAT out. I wonder why Postfix is working. | 22:39 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, I'm going to have a look | 22:40 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: well it does say at the top of that output: "Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:44: protocol { ssl_listen } has been replaced by service { inet_listener { address } }" | 22:40 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, and we're back to trying to figure it out. LOL | 22:40 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: Postfix is separate to Dovecot, one wouldn't affect the other. Postfix is the MTA, Dovecot is an IMAP/POP/etc server for mailboxes | 22:41 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, I think it's setup to use Dovecot's auth (it's a v-hosted server) | 22:41 |
| jagginess | dovecot is good stuff, it's quite flexible too | 22:41 |
| Troy^ | anyone here familiar with u1sdtools i'm trying to use my ubuntuone access via headless (term) on my ubuntu server | 22:41 |
| TJ- | jeeves_moss: but that auth would only be for your SMTP relaying, not SMTP delivery. If postfix is doing SMTP relay still then you've got a mis-config there which isn't failing on failed auth | 22:42 |
| grandmaster | how do i update xampp? | 22:42 |
| avengre | Can you install a squid-proxy server while running apache? | 22:42 |
| avengre | ie, have them work in the same environment (but not through each other or anything) | 22:43 |
| jeeves_moss | TJ-, ok, thanks. | 22:43 |
| jagginess | Troy^, (for that nmbd, it's a nameserver for Netbios names, one can even not have to start it if he doesnt want to-- you can access shares by ip or even by your machines's dns hostname, if you have a local dns server) | 22:43 |
| TJ- | Troy^: would this help? http://linuxprograms.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/u1sdtool-ubuntu-one-command-line-tutorial/ | 22:43 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: thing is u1sdtool spits back some jargon about a display and X which is not obviously installed on server | 22:44 |
| TJ- | Troy^: Ahhh... maybe it is dependent on X?! | 22:44 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: exactly which defeats the purpose | 22:44 |
| Troy^ | :S | 22:44 |
| TJ- | Troy^: looking at the package it doesn't declare an obvious depends | 22:45 |
| ukm1242 | hi | 22:45 |
| thedarkgerbil | Greetings and salutations | 22:46 |
| Troy^ | TJ- one sec i'll put the error | 22:46 |
| TJ- | Troy^: Could it be because the tool is causing the sync-daemon to try to get you to enter a passphrase? and for some reason that requires an X server because there's no console-based fallback? | 22:46 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: or too anyone else that knows anything about u1sdtool http://paste.ubuntu.com/1184566/ | 22:46 |
| Brasco | how come Im seeing 8 cores in top/cpuinfo when my server should only have 4 ?? is there some kind of double core thingy going on ?? | 22:47 |
| ratcheer | Brasco: hyperthreading | 22:47 |
| jagginess | jeeves_moss, yeah, that ssl stuff is tricky.. | 22:47 |
| TJ- | Brasco: The CPU probably does hyperthreading | 22:47 |
| Brasco | that doubles the number of cores ?? | 22:47 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: possibly and you are right to some degree i was actually following this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Headless I was on step 6 as you can see | 22:48 |
| jagginess | jeeves_moss, you'll need to make key-pairs if you need to. You'll need to setup your own dns server if you decide to use ssl. (even if it's on a lan or same server machine) | 22:48 |
| matts45acp | anyone here willing to help me with my ubuntu server | 22:48 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: just ask | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Troy^: thanks for the link. I'll try to reproduce here on a headless server | 22:48 |
| Brasco | ah reading wikipedia…cheers | 22:49 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: right, let me know if you get any success would be neat for when doing server backups to save my backups to ubuntuone | 22:49 |
| gregoryfenton | hmm, apart from znc my server seems to have quite happily do-dist-upgrade'd :) I will need to play with it to make sure but so far all is looking well :D | 22:49 |
| matts45acp | troy, well the other day i attempted to get some file sharing going on with some help but did not suceed | 22:49 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: what kind of file sharing? | 22:50 |
| matts45acp | troy, what i want to do is use my server computer to store files on and acess stuff from there | 22:50 |
| TJ- | Troy^: Obvious question, having read that tutorial. You are launching it using "~/bin/u1sdtool" not "u1sdtool" are you? | 22:50 |
| Troy^ | tried both TJ- | 22:50 |
| matts45acp | troy, from another computer here in my house | 22:50 |
| zenmaster | So I was wondering. | 22:50 |
| zenmaster | What if using all of my old hardware, created a giant cloud. | 22:51 |
| y0om4 | hi | 22:51 |
| zenmaster | For instance, I have lots of old VIA C3 800mhz machines 2gb memory. | 22:51 |
| TJ- | Troy^: OK ... was the obvious hiccup if you've added that but not logged out/in to get the new PATH | 22:51 |
| zenmaster | Could that offer me more performance with those than one new dual quad core server/ | 22:51 |
| zenmaster | ? | 22:51 |
| zenmaster | I am just curious. :) If anyone would know if performance would scale out. Or would only go so far. | 22:52 |
| TJ- | zenmaster: If you were running a distributed build farm for software builds, it would, if you used distcc. For most other things, probably not | 22:52 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: yea i even just tried logging in and out same error is produced | 22:52 |
| ratcheer | zenmaster: I doubt it. | 22:52 |
| zenmaster | TJ-: What about for DB? | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Troy^: doing it here now... give me a few minutes | 22:52 |
| zenmaster | Having shared 32GB memory over network? | 22:53 |
| zenmaster | I am just trying to think of a use for these machines before they get recycled, and a new project to work on. :) | 22:53 |
| TJ- | zenmaster: databases? Well offloading say database hosting and/or local web-serving is also useful. | 22:53 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: i would suggest samba especially if they are other windows computers check this guide out very detailed step by step and any further questions feel free to ask https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html | 22:53 |
| zenmaster | TJ-: What about importing data? | 22:54 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, sharing memory over the network? ? | 22:54 |
| === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria | ||
| Troy^ | matts45acp: also if you don't know there is a auto nickname completion feature in most irc clients so if i type matts and hit tab. It auto completes your name as matts45acp and you get highlighting knowing your name has been mentioned in irc. | 22:54 |
| TJ- | zenmaster: importing into what from where? Anything that can run from a terminal can be run on headless systems usefully. | 22:54 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, you mean 32 gigs of disk storage.. You never share memory over the network.. | 22:55 |
| zenmaster | TJ-: Here is a little application I am designing, well it is done rather. What if I took 30 2.0ghz machines 2GB memory, threw them in cloud, ran DB across all of them. Web based application pulles querys. | 22:55 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: Right. | 22:55 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: Defeat the purpose of the speed of memory. :) | 22:55 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: like this | 22:55 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, disk storage is actually a type of "memory". But it's not called memory.. | 22:55 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: Right. | 22:55 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: yup | 22:56 |
| zenmaster | So ok let me reprhase my topic here. :) | 22:56 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: whats that link again | 22:56 |
| zenmaster | I have a Dell PowerEdge 2800 2x 3.0ghz Xeon NON-HT 16gb memory 5 SCSI 10k Raid Five running 120GB database. | 22:56 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html | 22:56 |
| zenmaster | Could I get better performance loading and off loading data by building a cloud of numerous machines with inferior hardware? | 22:57 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: and how do i just click the link in irc and make my browser come up, im using irssi | 22:57 |
| Troy^ | zenmaster: wish i was just as lucky | 22:57 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: ? | 22:57 |
| dr_willis | matts45acp: gnome-terminal and some other ones can do that for you. | 22:57 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: not exactly sure i use Smuxi. try right clicking it or hitting shift or ctrl + clicking | 22:57 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, not really, because you'll need to invest in quality hardware for making the nodes.. | 22:57 |
| Troy^ | zenmaster: having a poweredge server | 22:57 |
| PeterGriffin | Guys I fucked up badly. do-release-upgrade decided to bug. | 22:58 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: cool it was control | 22:58 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: Getting some newer ones hopefully this week. Yet my boss will not upgrade my workstation.... ;P p4 NON HT 2GB DD42. | 22:58 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: Even if I throw hundreds of computers at it? | 22:58 |
| IdleOne | PeterGriffin: no swearing please and what exactly happened? | 22:58 |
| Troy^ | ouch lol zenmaster my server is a p4 2.6ghz HT 1.75GB DDR400 lol | 22:59 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: So what you are saying, is that the performance increased would only happen if the nodes were the same as the server or better? | 22:59 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, you need bandwidth for attaching the machines, you'll gain less if accessing them is slow | 22:59 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: 30 machiens in my office 100mbit network? | 22:59 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, there's guides out there (vendors make them) | 22:59 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: I'm not doubting you. :) Just curious. Right now, my relational databasde performs awesome. | 22:59 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, i'm not an expert in this, but there are teams that use beowulf, and explain the details, they use nodal hardware to make use of it | 22:59 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: Just trying to find a use for these machiens before they get donated or recycled. :) | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | zenmaster: download server, proxy, dns, backup server | 23:00 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: Yeah my server is pretty nice for being 8 years old. But my workstation rig sucks. | 23:00 |
| zenmaster | ActionParsnip: ? | 23:00 |
| zenmaster | ActionParsnip: Why? | 23:00 |
| min0z | Hi! | 23:01 |
| PeterGriffin | well as it was working and asking me should it change this conf file or that, suddenly when i choose any option it just stops working and shows the command line | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | zenmaster: yea i want one of those poweredge servers for my house lol | 23:01 |
| TJ- | Troy^: Testing it now. Just finished installing | 23:01 |
| zenmaster | ActionParsnip: I don't see the relationship to the current topic between Troy^ jagginess and I. | 23:01 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: They are very loud upon startup. | 23:01 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: I mean pretty damn loud. | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | my current one is kept in my garage | 23:01 |
| zenmaster | Troy^: I mean like at least six vacuums going off for about 15 seconds. | 23:01 |
| * jagginess thinks zenmaster is trolling | 23:01 | |
| TJ- | Troy^: It works fine for me; no problems | 23:01 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: No. :) | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | wtf TJ- lol | 23:02 |
| PeterGriffin | and the only thing i was able to di was ctrl+c and afret a few times instalation just stopped | 23:02 |
| zenmaster | jagginess: I did drink like five cups of coffee today. :) Currently everything is running great at my job, so I have lots of spare time. :) | 23:02 |
| zenmaster | Thank you all for your support. | 23:02 |
| jagginess | zenmaster, you want to help us? donate your machines or setup a ubuntu mirror, and we'll applause you for it :) | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | zenmaster: if you have old systems you can put them to use in those roles | 23:02 |
| TJ- | Troy^: I am pretty sure you haven't made the ~/bin/u1sdtool executable, or are otherwise not running that wrapper, but are instead running the standard tool | 23:02 |
| zenmaster | ActionParsnip: Now I get what you are saying. Way ahead of you brother. Those jobs are already taken. :) | 23:03 |
| zenmaster | ActionParsnip: I was interested in cloud because I have never set that up before. | 23:03 |
| jagginess | zentroll | 23:03 |
| h22turbo | i would setup a ubuntu mirror, but i dont think my 10/1 mbit cable line would like it | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zenmaster: hehe | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | h22turbo: sure | 23:03 |
| IdleOne | PeterGriffin: open a terminal and run sudo apt-get -f install | 23:04 |
| zenmaster | I have 2x 50x50mbmit Verizon Fios Biz going into PFsense Load Balancing with Failover. :) | 23:04 |
| profediego | chat in spanish | 23:04 |
| zenmaster | I can be a mirror. :) | 23:04 |
| jagginess | !es | 23:04 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 23:04 |
| zenmaster | Donde esta el banyo. :P | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | h22turbo: makes minimal installs really fast :) | 23:04 |
| zenmaster | este. | 23:04 |
| IdleOne | !behelpful | zenmaster | 23:04 |
| ubottu | zenmaster: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 23:04 |
| Troy^ | it is working now TJ- | 23:04 |
| TJ- | Troy^: See for example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1184596/ | 23:04 |
| TJ- | Troy^: OK... what did you _not_ do? :p | 23:04 |
| grandmaster | can any one help me install xampp? | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !lamp | 23:05 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:05 |
| Troy^ | well it worked when i ran ./u1sdtool --start in the ~/bin | 23:06 |
| === GregoryFenton_ is now known as GregoryFenton | ||
| PeterGriffin | done, suggested some no longer required files and autoremove | 23:06 |
| PeterGriffin | shoud i do it? | 23:06 |
| IdleOne | PeterGriffin: you can ignore the autoremove for now | 23:06 |
| Troy^ | yea i have to be in ~/bin and run ./u1sdtool | 23:06 |
| IdleOne | PeterGriffin: now run sudo di-release-upgrade | 23:07 |
| IdleOne | do* | 23:07 |
| TJ- | Troy^: Probably a mistype that meant it found the original version of u1sdtool in the PATH before the local-user version | 23:07 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| jamar | realy need some help cdrom drive not working | 23:07 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: | 23:07 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1184599/ | 23:07 |
| jamar | cdrom not working | 23:08 |
| TJ- | Troy^: You can do ~/bin/u1sdtool ... as long as you prefix the path to the executable the system won't search the PATH variable. | 23:08 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: i'm sort of confused lol | 23:09 |
| TJ- | Troy^: that's what I'd expect. If you do not specify a path to an executable the system first tries to find it on the PATH. It won't look in your current working directory first (as Windows does) *unless* you've specifically added ".:" to the PATH | 23:09 |
| TJ- | Troy^: If you do "u1sdtool" no matter what directory you are in, it'll search PATH. To find out *which* file a command will run try "which u1sdtool" | 23:10 |
| Troy^ | yea understand TJ- just as the guide flows it shows that it works just running u1sdtool | 23:10 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: seems samba is already installed on server pc | 23:10 |
| PeterGriffin | IdleOne: i run it, but it says that my graphic hardware support is limited for 12.04 tls. I suppose it shouldnt be a problem as it is a server and does not need X? | 23:10 |
| Troy^ | TJ-: fizz@server:~$ which u1sdtool | 23:11 |
| jamar | plz any1 can you help fixing my cdrom it is like not install | 23:11 |
| TJ- | Troy^: In the guide I followed it had me add ~/bin to the PATH in step 2 I think | 23:11 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: so what exactly do i do now | 23:11 |
| IdleOne | PeterGriffin: correct | 23:11 |
| TJ- | Troy^: $ which u1sdtool ... /home/tj/bin/u1sdtool | 23:11 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: guide says something about /etc/samba/smb.conf but i dunno how to get to that? | 23:12 |
| th0r | TJ-: just to clarify, sometimes ~ doesn't work, you need to use the full path. I always check that when I run into scripting problems | 23:12 |
| TJ- | th0r: True. It depends on which shell the login is using, and any special shopts | 23:13 |
| TJ- | th0r: But it's a long time since I've seen any shell that doesn't expand "~" | 23:13 |
| jamar | dvd/rw/drive not working plz help me | 23:14 |
| hfic | matts45acp, that seems like an issue since linux itself is driven by user input. Not knowing what /etc/samba/smb.conf is or how to get to it is a bit of a problem. | 23:14 |
| th0r | TJ-: just thought I would mention it. Watching the conversation it seems you are using the two (~ and /home/user) interchangeably | 23:14 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: i assume the guide wants you to edit it? then sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf or gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf if you are using a gui/window manager | 23:14 |
| TJ- | th0r: Good point, thank-you. It's the obvious assumptions that often trip us up. | 23:14 |
| PeterGriffin | IdleOne: aha, here it is again, some error that i'll try to write .... | 23:14 |
| PeterGriffin | === Command detached from window ( time) === | 23:15 |

| jamar | dvd/cd rom drive not working when i try mount saying no dic,, are fil not found plz help any1 | 23:18 |
| TJ- | Troy^: I see scripts to do similar for dropbox. You use rsync into the local machine's ~/.ubuntuone/<dirname>/ and then the sync-daemon does the ubuntuone bit | 23:19 |
| PeterGriffin | is it possible the reason to be that the date is some day in 2006? | 23:20 |
| jamar | dvd/cd rom drive not working when i try mount saying no dic,, are fil not found plz help any1 | 23:20 |
| Troy^ | i've never used rsync i was looking at this script https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/backup-shellscripts.html then modifying and adding the sync-daemon portion etc. | 23:20 |
| zykotick9 | jamar: does "ls -l /dev/cdrom" -> sr0? do you only have 1 optical drive? | 23:20 |
| jamar | will check now ty | 23:21 |
| DG_ | hey guys, can i move the taskbar to the bottom of the screen? | 23:21 |
| PeterGriffin | IdleOne: after reserecting it the upgrade started again and got to the same point with the same error | 23:21 |
| methods | why would "mesa gl/glu i386 dev" try to uninstall the non i386 version ? | 23:21 |

| cellofellow | My laptop is running rather hot and it's actually a little uncomfortable to use. CPU usage is minimal (idling), so that's not the problem.

| WarOfTheNerd | carter, because it doesn't conform to package guidelines | 23:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, you can download it and install it from Google | 23:41 |
| methods | TJ-: but all the files should be under /usr/lib/i386* for i386 .. they shouldn't conflict .. | 23:41 |
| carter | but last time it had it in the app store | 23:41 |

| TJ- | methods: Yes, /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. What precisely are you doing to that is causing you concern? | 23:43 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, it's there on my search results. What version of Ubuntu are you using? :| | 23:43 |
| BHO1 | I just installed Xbuntu yesterday. Today I forgot to plug in my laptop and it died. Ever since it died, my screen has been dim and i can not figure out how to brighten it. | 23:43 |

| bobweaver | ohh that is why | 23:44 |
| jamar | wow no help i have been ask 1 hour now but no help | 23:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, you need to install a newer version | 23:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, that version is past End of Life | 23:44 |
| bazhang | !helpme | jamar | 23:44 |
| ubottu | jamar: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 23:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, 8.04 doesn't get patches/updates or support for desktop use any more, you need to update to 10.04 | 23:45 |
| hylian | jamar: what's going on? I just got here | 23:45 |

| bobweaver | cater 12.04 lts | 23:46 |
| methods | trism: so it's all held back by 558104 ? | 23:46 |
| DG_ | on ubuntu? lol im confused | 23:46 |
| hylian | jamar: have you tried another cd? | 23:46 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, the version numbers are based on the year and month of release by the way :) | 23:46 |
| carter | will 10.04 have the updates though? | 23:46 |
| carter | like google | 23:47 |
| jamar | yes same thing | 23:47 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, technically yes, but I don't recommend it | 23:47 |
| methods | TJ-: if i try to install dev:i386 it uninstalls normal dev so i end up going in circles every time i want to build the other vrsion | 23:47 |
| hylian | DG_: if you have freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 you are using Unity. | 23:47 |
| cheetashock | Does anyone here know what could cause a disk (that may or may not work) to give "fdisk: unable to read /dev/sdb: Invalid argument" when I try to open it in [c]fdisk? | 23:47 |
| DG_ | fresh install | 23:47 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, if you're gonna change version, just grab 12.04. It has 5 years of support lifetime :D | 23:47 |
| DG_ | so 12.04 | 23:47 |
| hylian | DG_: so you are asking if there is a way to move the Unity bar on the left then, right? | 23:47 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, it won't need an upgrade until April 2017 if you use 12.04 ;) | 23:48 |
| DG_ | yes | 23:48 |
| DG_ | can i put it on the bottom? | 23:48 |
| carter | and 12 will run fine with a gb of ram and a 2.4 ghz processor | 23:48 |
| WarOfTheNerd | carter, of course | 23:48 |
| carter | alright thank you i appreciate it alot | 23:48 |
| jamar | still there hylian | 23:48 |
| methods | what i just did was go into /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and symblink libGL and libGLU to their .so name and then add -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa to my -m32 builds which allows me to have ability to compile 32 or 64 any time without messing with packages | 23:48 |
| hylian | DG_: i will dig into the askubuntu searches and see if I can come up with an answer for you, I will be back shortly. | 23:48 |
| DG_ | ok thanks :) | 23:49 |
| hylian | jamar: did you try another cd/dvd? | 23:49 |
| TJ- | methods: which packages are you trying to pull the build-deps for? | 23:49 |
| === cheetashock is now known as mark_peters | ||
| jamar | hylian yes i did but still didnt work | 23:50 |
| === mark_peters is now known as Guest1292 | ||
| === Guest1292 is now known as cheetahshock | ||
| TJ- | methods: For building you only need to set the arch if using the debian/rules build system | 23:50 |
| methods | TJ-: it's not for any packages it's for my own code base which i build 32 / 64 bit versions and deploy out.. i want a central system to build them | 23:51 |
| TJ- | methods: This may help you then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain#Multiarch_and_multilib_configurations | 23:51 |
| jamar | when i try mount from dev/cdrom i get No such file or directory | 23:51 |
| natsirt | methods:How do I becoem a Linux master? | 23:51 |
| hylian | DG_: it is possible, but there is no official canonical way of doing it. There are some patches out there that let you do it, but they require using a program called ccsm, which has known security issues and other things that could cause you headaches in the future. It's up to you, but it's not recommended. | 23:52 |
| ratcheer | natsirt: Just keep learning stuff. | 23:52 |
| DG_ | well then, thats annoying | 23:52 |
| DG_ | ill just keep it thanks | 23:52 |
| hylian | jamar: hmm. havent had this problem in a while. let me do a little digging, and i'll be right back. | 23:52 |

| BHO1 | I just installed Xbuntu yesterday. Today I forgot to plug in my laptop and it died. Ever since it died, my screen has been dim and i can not figure out how to brighten it. | 23:52 |

| natsirt | DG_: If I write a fork bomb script in ubuntu will it harm it or just freeze it? | 23:53 |
| jamar | hylian ok | 23:53 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, how could CCSM have security issues? | 23:53 |
| DG_ | natsirt: i dont know if you meant to actually send that to me :/ i know nothing about ubuntu | 23:53 |
| exaem | so tired | 23:54 |
| exaem | woops wrong chan | 23:54 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, it's a client app with no networking and no input other than users own expected input? | 23:54 |
| natsirt | DG_: Sorry i thought you were the made guy around here | 23:54 |
| methods | TJ-: what was that supposed to show me though ? | 23:54 |
| hylian | WarOfTheNerd: I personally don't know. AskUbuntu is the website that stated this, and since AskUbuntu is official Canonical, I am assuming it is right. If you want, I can shoot you the url for the forum message I found this information in. | 23:54 |
| TJ- | BHO1: Have you tried System Settings > Power > Brightness Settings ? | 23:54 |
| DG_ | lol its ok, turst me i know NOTHING | 23:54 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, go for it | 23:55 |
| TJ- | methods: "Some configuration systems assume fixed paths for libraries and include files, which may not work with the new multiarch locations. Instead of directly searching a set of known directories, it's better to let the compiler search for these. " | 23:55 |
| hylian | WarOfTheNerd: ok, here is the article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher | 23:55 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, also it's not official, it's unofficial ran by a 3rd party | 23:55 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: how do i exit the smb.confg in the terminal | 23:56 |
| Troy^ | matts45acp: ctrl+x | 23:56 |
| methods | TJ-: that doesn't help me .. because like we've already talked about trying to install dev:i386 uninstalls the other one.. so i got around it by doing some dirty tricks | 23:56 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, it just mentions bugfixes. It's not a security sensitive app, so security isn't a worry ;-) | 23:56 |
| hylian | WarOfTheNerd: ohh, I must have mis read that. | 23:57 |
| hylian | jamar: does ubuntu show you the cd, but not mount it, or does it do absolutely nothing? | 23:57 |
| WarOfTheNerd | hylian, well given the fact that almost every other patch is a security fix on most distros these days, it's almost becoming synonymous | 23:58 |
| jamar | nothing | 23:58 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: now it says file name to write | 23:58 |
| matts45acp | Troy^: what i hit now | 23:59 |
| Troy^ | enter | 23:59 |
| jamar | hylian nothing | 23:59 |
| TJ- | methods: But is your application being packaged for Debian/Ubuntu? That's what I assumed, so you'd use the new Multilib packaging conventions for foreign libs. The policy is at http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation | 23:59 |
