[00:01] <ray76> dr_willis: well with so many problems on here i'm not suprised !!
[00:02] <bharwell> Did I post my installation issue in the wrong channel?
[00:03] <Nogal> bharwell what's the issue?
[00:04] <LiDaR> do the kernel packagers hang out here somewhere ?
[00:04] <bharwell> I'm installing from the 12.04.1 alternate image, from a USB drive, and I get an error on the "Installing the base system step".
[00:04] <LiDaR> elky: you can appologize in private for acting childish btw
[00:05] <szal> bharwell: did you run the medium self-test before starting the installation?
[00:05] <bobweaver> LiDaR,  you are better of to ask someon at microsoft for kernel help
[00:05] <bharwell> szal: Yeah, it came up clean.
[00:05] <ch33z> hii! :)
[00:05] <LiDaR> bobweaver: i dont think that would be very effective
[00:05] <ch33z> i have no idea what to do
[00:05] <ch33z> my server is totally messed up
[00:05] <ch33z> big time
[00:05] <ch33z> was working fine before now I moved and set the server up
[00:05] <ch33z> so im confused
[00:05] <bobweaver> LiDaR,  why they conturbute more then Ubuntu or I should say Canonical does
[00:05] <ch33z> any help would be great! :)
[00:05] <FloodBot1> ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:06] <bharwell> The error message reads "Debootstrap Error - Failed to determine the codename for the release."
[00:06] <szal> ch33z: how about some actual details?
[00:06] <bharwell> I'm combing the forums for solutions, but they're a bit over my head.
[00:07] <LiDaR> bobweaver: im looking for a few people that work on cdc_ether
[00:07] <ch33z> alright, I have all the services configured DNS, Apache2, Http but, I moved houses and my static ip are the same and they dont seem to have changed on the server the websites also show up on the server itself but, when trying the websites on a public computer they simply dont. They were working fine before I moved.

[00:08] <bobweaver> LiDaR,  Novell IBM or Red Hat . But there is #ubuntu-kernel (I think )
[00:09] <WeThePeople> kalib, in the software center check out 'Restricted Extras' might help
[00:09] <LiDaR> bobweaver: thats what i was looking for
[00:09] <ch33z> did you want a better explanation szal? ;0
[00:09] <kalib> WeThePeople, let me check.
[00:09] <bharwell> Yeah, but I can't follow the solution.
[00:09] <shimul> hello
[00:09] <ch33z> what do you mean bharwell?
[00:09] <ch33z> its not hard
[00:09] <ch33z> i just told you
[00:09] <ch33z> I told you three times.
[00:10] <bharwell> Oh crap. Sorry. Let me scroll up.
[00:10] <kalib> WeThePeople, what you mean with it? I'm on aper right now. didn't find it.

[00:11] <kalib> WeThePeople, kubuntu. but, which package should I use? I have flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-downloader installed
[00:11] <ch33z> bharwell  alright, I have all the services configured DNS, Apache2, Http but, I moved houses and my static ip are the same and they dont seem to have changed on the server the websites also show up on the server itself but, when trying the websites on a public computer they simply dont. They were working fine before I moved.
[00:12] <WeThePeople> kalib, let me check
[00:12] <ch33z> I had someone in the chat set up the server for me last time remotely which was super helpful because some stuff was not even in the manual as he said and I saw bharwell
[00:12] <kalib> WeThePeople, I can remove them and install again to check if it works.
[00:13] <bharwell> ch33z: Sorry, must have been a different bharwell.
[00:13] <WeThePeople> kalib, do that
[00:13] <kalib> ok
[00:13] <kalib> removing..
[00:13] <bharwell> At any rate, the old posts say to mount the USB drive to /cdrom.
[00:13] <kalib> should I install booth or just flashplugin-installer?
[00:14] <ch33z> heh, well can you help me though bharwell? :)

[00:14] <ray76> 10. typed several kinds of commands that was not recognized. that was abit whats expected when randomly testing commands
[00:14] <ray76> 11. typed "mount /dev/sdd1 /cdrom" and the usb drive was mounted to cdrom.
[00:14] <ClientAlive> I tried to install gnome 3 on ubuntu server and it's ugly as hell. Must be some stuff missing, but what?? What do you do to make it cool?
[00:15] <ray76> bharwell: did you try this ?
[00:15] <bharwell> Yes, but let me do it again so I can have it in front of me.
[00:16] <ray76> bharwell: i'm not much help, win32 programmer moving over to Linux.
[00:17] <bharwell> ray76: Well, regardless, two heads are better than one. I really appreciate the help.
[00:17] <kalib> WeThePeople, ok.. installed restricted-extras, flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-downloader
[00:17] <WeThePeople> admindude123, did you change it or try to login with a blank password?

[00:19] <ch33z> load my websites
[00:19] <bjrohan> If I paste the packages I upgraded this morning, and then my graphics went to low res, can someone help point me to what happened?
[00:19] <ch33z> in the "sites-available
[00:20] <TJ-> bharwell: The problem is caused because the underlying device name changes, and the installer can't find the original device. When using CD-ROMs one fix is to eject and reinsert the disc and remount it, and then Rescan CDROM. I'm not sure if you can do something similar... the issue you have is, the installer is looking for a /dev/scd device but its' running from a /dev/sdX device
[00:20] <blob> have you tried, a2ensite ?
[00:20] <mobidun> resolution
[00:20] <kalib> WeThePeople, update? sure? it will just update my source lists. o.O

[00:24] <IUseOTR> I just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04.1.  I'm using a version of Blender newer than the one in the repository, and I'm having difficulty locking it to the launcher.  I stays until I logout.  Once I login again, it is no longer on the launcher.  So far, this problem is only with Blender.  I compiled Gimp 2.8 from source, and that stays locked as expected.  Is anybody else having this problem?

[00:28] <bharwell> TJ-: Yikes. I don't have the .iso itself on the USB drive, and now the machine I used to format the drive won't read it. :/
[00:29] <TJ-> bharwell: But you have the *contents* of the ISO on the device; that's what's running
[00:29] <ch33z> ah
[00:29] <ch33z> blob thanks
[00:29] <bharwell> TJ-: But isn't it saying to mount the ISO itself?
[00:30] <TJ-> bharwell: Is it the Precise alternate you're using?
[00:30] <ch33z> I actually have that conifgured blob
[00:30] <bharwell> TJ-: Yes.
[00:30] <thines> newbie here - 12.04 installed on new Lenovo i5 laptop.  Etherenet not recognized by Ubuntu.  Any suggestions - forums are too complex for me to follow.
[00:30] <TJ-> bharwell: this is more about the installer finding particular files... it's looking in the wrong place :s
[00:30] <blob> ch33z: hope it worked.
[00:30] <TJ-> bharwell: If you have a few minutes... I'll reproduce it here in a VM and see if I can figure out a solution
[00:30] <ch33z> not quite test this
[00:30] <bharwell> TJ-: Thank you.
[00:31] <ch33z> www.martinmonica.com
[00:31] <TJ-> bharwell: have to check whether I have the Precise alt. image in my archive
[00:31] <blob> that does not look safe for work :x
[00:31] <bharwell> TJ-: Do I then need to mount the root of the USB to /cdrom? (sorry if I phrased that wrong)
[00:32] <TJ-> bharwell: I'm not sure; it was about 3/4 years ago that I had to deal with that bug on a server install. My memory isn't that good!
[00:33] <pepperjack> thines: what model laptop?
[00:33] <TJ-> bharwell: I had it using the CD.... the server I was installing on booted with the CD device as one thing (form BIOS) then after probing devices, had it's SCSI driver handling the CD device, which confused all heck out of the installer. Can't remember how I fixed it but I know I posted a bug report on it
[00:35] <bharwell> TJ-: Could you help me find the root of the USB? Would it be something along the lines of /dev/sd*?
[00:35] <tack_> yes
[00:35] <TJ-> bharwell: Use "mount" to discover where "/" is mounted from - that'll be the USB device
[00:36] <kalledelta> Hi, I have a problem with setting up a 12.04 box as a NAT-router…
[00:36] <bharwell> TJ-: "rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)"?
[00:37] <TJ-> bharwell: ahhh then no, it's mounting it via a loop I think
[00:37] <kalledelta> My packets just gets dropped even though I have tried evey tutorial that I have found on google...
[00:37] <thines> pepperjack: it's a Lenovo P580 - wireless is working
[00:38] <blob> kalledelta: pastebin the output of iptables --list
[00:38] <thines> lspci puts 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 08)
[00:38] <szal> basic routing functionality is an iptables three-liner
[00:38] <TJ-> bharwell: well, I found my original report bug  #143963
[00:39] <kalledelta> blob: The first problem is that I cannot get logging on POSTROUTING under -t nat
[00:39] <bharwell> TJ-: Yeah, I've read through this one. Give me a sec to reread it.
[00:39] <kalledelta> it never gets there
[00:40] <TJ-> bharwell: and another report where I dealt with the issue: bug #'143958
[00:40] <TJ-> bharwell: and another report where I dealt with the issue: bug #143958
[00:40] <kalledelta> szal: can you write it in a private msg?
[00:41] <TJ-> bharwell: see in particular my comment #5 to that last report
[00:42] <TJ-> bharwell: I suspect you'd need to change the lines "  elif udevinfo -q name -p "$devpath" 2>/dev/null | \;     grep -q 'cd'; then   match=:" so the "cd" would match the device your USB is presented on (probably "sd")
[00:43] <bharwell> TJ-: I'm afraid I don't follow it.
[00:43] <kalledelta> blob: there is nothing to paste really… it's basically completely empty because I get stuck on the first steps.. Have enabled ip_forwarding, but nothing else.. The setup is kind of tricky though, since I have vlans over bonds and must use a link-network to route to the next hop.. So the server cannot have the actual ips on itself..
[00:43] <szal> kalledelta: can't remember what I used to make *buntu route my stuff though; my iptables.sav looks more complicated
[00:44] <bharwell> TJ-: Would it be alright if I copy over the output of "mount" to the Ubuntu pastebin so you can have a look at it?
[00:44] <TJ-> bharwell: sure
[00:44] <blob> wheres your tutorial?
[00:44] <szal> kalledelta: anyhoo, if you want to do it 'by hand' writing your own iptables rules you could peruse the well-written info on Internet connection sharing on the ArchLinux wiki
[00:45] <bharwell> TJ-: It'll take a minute, I have to copy it manually.
[00:45] <blob> kalledelta: also, is this for bridged vm's ?

[00:45] <szal> Tum: have you stated your problem yet?
[00:45] <Tum> I have not
[00:46] <Tum> just don't know if anyone's not too busy
[00:46] <szal> Tum: so how are we to know whether we can help then?
[00:46] <Tum> sorry...
[00:46] <Tum> So
[00:46] <Tum> My webcam works fine in literally every program but skype
[00:46] <Tum> skype doesn't recognize it
[00:46] <Tum> I know I know, nonfree, but so is Ubuntu itself
[00:47] <Tum> So, anyone have any clue what could be causing this?
[00:47] <kalledelta> blob: no.. it's actually for our new datacenter..
[00:48] <TJ-> Tum: that's a closed source binary blob. If the camera works fine with all the F/OSS then it's a Skype issue
[00:48] <kalledelta> blob: We're using private ips inside the firewall/router and also needs to be able to "use the internet" from the inside..

[00:49] <blob> kalledelta: i might be able to help when i get home from work, sorry. leaving in a couple of minutes
[00:50] <TJ-> kalledelta: what steps have you taken to set up NAT? what interfaces does the system have?
[00:50] <bjrohan> Anyone on have experience with 12.04 and Ati Radeon?
[00:51] <kalledelta> TJ: I have eth4+5 bonded under bond1, and vlan2 and vlan3 on bond1 (connections work there)
[00:51] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Sure.
[00:52] <TJ-> kalledelta: how have you configured netfilters? Are you doing it manually?
[00:52] <optikx> anyone wanna buy helpmeoutbro.com
[00:52] <kalledelta> TJ: it's all manual… how do you mean configured netfilters? :-)
[00:52] <kalledelta> TJ: Maybe I have missed a "small" detail...
[00:52] <bjrohan> ratcheer: Everything was working well on my 12.04 machine with ATI x1400. Today i did an update, and now it only boots in low-res (not bad but 1200 instead of 1900)
[00:52] <TJ-> kalledelta: We use 'iptables' to configure the kernel netfilters.... nat, mangle, etc
[00:52] <bjrohan> ratcheer: I have the list of items that were updated
[00:53] <ratcheer> Ok. If the list is long, use a pastebin.
[00:53] <kalledelta> TJ: ah.. well, I'm trying to use iptables.. but even though I have enabled ip_forward (in sysctl), the POSTROUTE doesn't even log...
[00:53] <TJ-> kalledelta: To save you some pain, at least to get it working initially, it might be a good idea to install and use shorewall to configure it for forwarding... then if you want to drop shorewall once it works, you can simply take it's rules using iptables-save
[00:54] <bjrohan> ratcheer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186668/
[00:54] <ratcheer> bjrohan: What driver are you using?
[00:54] <bjrohan> I am new to Linux. I am not sure what the command is to show you
[00:54] <bharwell> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186669/
[00:54] <TJ-> kalledelta: FYI I have 12.04 servers doing the same job, one next to me bonds over 7 NICs and works flawlessly.
[00:55] <TJ-> bharwell: thanks, let me look. I'm still waiting for the alternate download of 12.04.1 to complete
[00:55] <bjrohan> ratcheer: what command do I issue to show the driver?
[00:55] <Tum> HELLO GUYS I NEED A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO SKYPE WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE
[00:55] <kalledelta> TJ: The —to-source works when I tries to ping or do whatever locally on the machine, but not from the outside..
[00:55] <bharwell> Tum: hold on a sec, I've got you.
[00:55] <kalledelta> TJ: and all iptable-chains have ACCEPT as default
[00:55] <TJ-> bharwell: it's the "/dev/sdb1 on /cdrom type iso9660" that is confusing it I think... the install thinks that "/dev/sdb1" ought to be something like "/dev/[s]cd"
[00:56] <bjrohan> ratcheer: Also in about 5 minutes I have to get on a quick phone call :(
[00:56] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Go to /var/log. Run "less Xorg.0.log". Search for LoadModule"
[00:56] <Tum> I'm thinking Ekeiga
[00:56] <TJ-> kalledelta: you'd have to pastebin the iptables rules you're applying
[00:56] <ratcheer> bjrohan: You will have to search several times until you come to the video driver.
[00:57] <m6d4> kalledelta: we use ferm for our iptables rules management - don't know if you like it or not http://ferm.foo-projects.org/
[00:57] <kalledelta> TJ: it's a oneliner right now.. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o vlan3 -j SNAT --to-source 99.99.99.99 (not actual ip)
[00:57] <ratcheer> bjrohan: You should find either radeon or fglrx
[00:57] <bharwell> Tum: http://www.osalt.com/skype
[00:57] <TJ-> kalledelta: ahhh! You need more than that!
[00:57] <bjrohan> ratcheer is it a huge file?
[00:57] <bharwell> TJ-: I'll be back presently
[00:58] <ratcheer> bjrohan: It's pretty good sized.
[00:58] <TJ-> bharwell: OK
[00:58] <WeThePeople> tum, see software center and type in "VoIP"
[00:58] <bjrohan> Can I open the file vs having it in a terminal scroll by?
[00:58] <kalledelta> TJ: what am I missing? I've read some tutorials, and they almost ever say anything more than that
[00:59] <TJ-> kalledelta: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29
[00:59] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Yes. But, use the less command.
[00:59] <bjrohan> I copy and pasted what you posted, it is still HUGE
[01:00] <ratcheer> bjrohan: What is huge?
[01:02] <bharwell> TJ-: Did I mention that I don't have a cd drive?
[01:02] <bharwell> TJ-: This is a netbook.
[01:02] <bjrohan> ratcheer I can't copy and paste to search it :-( There appear to be many error messages
[01:02] <battlestar> Anyone have a recommendation for some default iptables rules? (drop incoming except established, allow outgoing, don't forward, etc.)
[01:03]  * battlestar doesn't recommend typing "iptable -P OUTPUT DROP" from an SSH session... :-(
[01:03] <bkc_> battlestar: that sounds like an awesome plan! :D
[01:03] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Let's start over. Type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log". This will open the file so you can search in it.
[01:04] <Guest37640> how can i remove the empathy status icons
[01:04] <battlestar> Somehow I though I could just add the established part later... :-/
[01:05] <TJ-> bharwell: But the alternate installer *assumes* it is running from a CD... that's the issue. We have to persuade it not to make that assumption
[01:05] <battlestar> I'm glad I only had to walk down stairs...
[01:05] <bharwell> TJ-: Right.
[01:06] <bharwell> TJ-: Or make it think it is?
[01:06] <TJ-> bharwell: no, make it not assume it is :)
[01:06] <BentFranklin> 12.04 Server: Where is my umask set?  Not in .profile, .bashrc, or /etc/profile.d.
[01:06] <bharwell> TJ-: Aww, okay.
[01:06] <L1> Is it possible to encrypt my full system partition (I assume with LUKs) after install?
[01:07] <bjrohan> Sorry ratcheers: it is still HUGE!
[01:07] <bjrohan> ratcheer It is big, I am on the phone and will get back to you in a bit
[01:08] <China> .
[01:08] <ratcheer> bjrohan: I am totally confused. less is supposed to view one page at a time.
[01:08] <kalledelta> TJ: Still no go...
[01:09] <matti_> my inspiron laptop with ATI graphics card  and 2.0GHz Dual Core with ubuntu 12.02 is lagging can not see youtube clips in full screen
[01:09] <XiRoN> Is there a way to forcekill all java?
[01:09] <XiRoN> In ubuntu
[01:09] <TJ-> kalledelta: have you configured the default route as well?
[01:10] <XiRoN> Obviously
[01:10] <XiRoN> :P
[01:10] <nbf> i love ubuntu
[01:10] <kalledelta> TJ: http://pastebin.com/GA1MSrZ4
[01:10] <kalledelta> TJ: default route is a bit wierd.. I don't really want to fiddle too much with it, since I'm at home and the servers and switches are at the office...
[01:11] <matti_> XiRoN,  i think xkill will do the trick if java hace an window ...
[01:11] <matti_> XiRoN,  otherwise use kill and the ID of the process ...
[01:11] <kalledelta> TJ: But yes, the default route with the lowest metric is via my link-connection.. on the correct interface..
[01:12] <TJ-> kalledelta: and '80.156.155.163' is the IP on vlan3 ?
[01:12] <XiRoN> What I'm trying to avoid is having to put the PID, also I am using ubuntu server.
[01:12] <kalledelta> TJ: no, the ip on vlan3 is a different one… I have a /30-network that I connect my equipment with my ISP… and they forward my ip-net to my part...
[01:13] <matti_> my top shows me 10% usage of CPU but fan roaring like crazy, where can i start trouble shooting ?
[01:13] <kalledelta> TJ: Lets call it like this: 15.15.15.15/30 (ISP) 15.15.15.16/30 (me)
[01:13] <matti_> everything goes in slow motion even this typing  of text ...
[01:13] <Smackbook> does anyone know where Deluge web ui configs are stored?
[01:13] <Smackbook> i can't find this anywhere on google
[01:13] <kalledelta> TJ: default route is 0.0.0.0/0 via 15.15.15.15 dev vlan3 metric 50
[01:14] <cje_> Hi,
[01:15] <TJ-> kalledelta: I think that might be the issue... that IP is what is attached to the outgoing packets from vlan3 as the source IP. So that can get sent out, but the upstream router responsible for returning packets will do an ARP who-has and not get a response from vlan3 saying I-have-it
[01:15] <China> .
[01:15] <cje_> I am a volunteer for a poor public school  I am trying to troubleshoot a D-link WBR-2310 wireless router.  The Ubuntu 12.04 notebook can see it, but not connect.  What should I do next?
[01:16] <Smackbook> cje_: you have my sympathies, but i cannot help
[01:16] <kalledelta> TJ: Ok… do you have any possible solution for this?
[01:17] <TJ-> kalledelta: I'm trying to get my head around your network topology. any chance you can write me a diagram and send it privately so I can manage that? it's hard dealing with examples :s
[01:17] <cje_> Smackbook, thx for the sympathy.  heh
[01:18] <cje_> I know that the notebook is working properly, because it can access another wifi access point in the school, just not the one in this classroom.
[01:18] <chobo> have you checked your home directory, smacbook?
[01:19] <kalledelta> TJ: It's not really that complicated… it's basically the "internet" on one side, my ip net 80.156.155.163 on the other, connected with a third network between them 15.15.15.15/30
[01:19] <kalledelta> TJ: My ISP forwards all traffic that is supposed to go to my ips (80…) to 15.15.15.16
[01:19] <kalledelta> TJ: And I forward all my connections going to Internet via 15.15.15.15
[01:20] <m6d4> kalledelta: you have a dev called vlan3 on your linux box or bond1 ?
[01:20] <kalledelta> m6d4: I have a bond1 that is made up of eth4+5 and then I have a dev called vlan3 that uses bond1 as the raw device
[01:20] <TJ-> kalledelta: and your router for 15.15.15.16 knows to forward 80.156.155.163 through the bond at its end, to vlan3 on the server?
[01:21] <cje_> Anyone have any experience trouble shooting a D-link WBR-2310 wireless router?
[01:21] <bjrohan> ratcheer: i am back
[01:21] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Ok.
[01:21] <bjrohan> Anyone, what term can I use so I can scroll and then copy paste?
[01:22] <kalledelta> TJ: vlan3 has ip 15.15.15.16  .. But I haven't got far the easiest point..
[01:22] <ratcheer> bjrohan: When you open the file with "less", it should be showing you one page at a time.
[01:22] <bjrohan> ratcheer this file is large and I can't copy and past it to be able to search it?
[01:22] <kalledelta> TJ: When I ping from the NAT-machine to 24.24.24.24 I get this in tcpdump on vlan3
[01:22] <bjrohan> ratcheer it isn't :-(
[01:22] <bjrohan> I used this command: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:23] <TJ-> kalledelta: so 15.15.15.15 is presenting the 80.a.b.c IP to the ISP on its external interface then?
[01:23] <ratcheer> Ok, try this: grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:24] <kalledelta> TJ: 03:23:14.230129 IP 80.156.155.163 > 24.24.24.24: ICMP echo request, id 19938, seq 8, length 64
[01:24] <kalledelta> TJ: I think you can call it that way...
[01:24] <TJ-> kalledelta: if what I just said is correct, then the SNAT on vlan3 should be attaching as the source the IP that 15.15.15.15 sees coming from vlan3 (which I think you said is 15.15.15.16)
[01:24] <bjrohan> ratcheer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186683/
[01:25] <bjrohan> ratcheer: going throught the longer way I did see where it would try to load things, then they didn't work, then it loaded something else related to the graphics
[01:25] <TJ-> kalledelta: unless you have the router doing layer 2 forwarding so that 80.a.b.c can be assigned to vlan3 on the server, then the router will need to NAT the public IP address
[01:26] <TJ-> kalledelta: which ever system and interface answers to 80.a.b.c will have to do the NAT
[01:26] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Yes, that's what it looks like. Which driver do you want to use?
[01:26] <bjrohan> The one that will get my Inspiron 6400 to work at a higher res
[01:26] <TJ-> kalledelta: you might be able to use a PPPoE tunnel from vlan3 to the router to achieve that, and have a ppp0 over vlan3 that presents 80.a.b.c - *than* you can NAT it
[01:27] <m6d4> cje_: have you tried using different channels ?
[01:27] <bjrohan> I can send you over a lof of what I had done before to get a higher res
[01:27] <cje_> m6d4, no, how do I do that?
[01:27] <kalledelta> TJ: 15.15.15.15 and 15.15.15.16 is doing layer2 yes.. So we are not just supposed to put a switch in and put 10 boxes there with out public ips on them...
[01:28] <ratcheer> bjrohan: It shouldn't be difficult with either driver, but it looks like you have drivers stepping all over each other.
[01:28] <bjrohan> ratcheer: Here is what I did in June when I had low-res problems that resolved it. I don't know what I did but it worked. Search for bjrohan http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/06/23/%23ubuntu.html
[01:28] <m6d4> cje_: can you connect to router via ethernet cable and check the settings ?
[01:28] <kalledelta> TJ: But the strange thing that I think is that the postrouting works when I do stuff locally on the machine, but it's not getting transferred between vlan2 and vlan3
[01:29] <cje_> m6d4, I can connect to the router via ethernet, yes.  What settings should I check?
[01:29] <TJ-> kalledelta: if the source IP attached to the packets by the rules doesn't match the IP that vlan3 answers to, then that's what I'd expect
[01:29] <kalledelta> TJ: ok… do I need to do some nasty fw marking and routing rules then?
[01:30] <BentFranklin> Anyone know of a program for pastebinning from a terminal?
[01:30] <TJ-> kalledelta: If you're forwarding 80.a.b.c over layer 2 to vlan3... then maybe all you need is a virtual interface vlan3:1 with the 80.a.b.c IP
[01:30] <TJ-> kalledelta: as you can probably tell, my head is hurting :p
[01:30] <kalledelta> hehe
[01:30] <kalledelta> hmmm...
[01:31] <OerHeks> !pastebinit
[01:31] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Ok, the problem is that the current Catalyst (fglrx) driver no longer supports your video card.
[01:31] <TJ-> kalledelta: it all comes down to which interface *answers* to the 80.a.b.c IPv4 address. Because arp on the ethernet segments will be doing who-has 80.a.b.c
[01:31] <cje_> m6d4, I have to go now.  I am grateful for your help
[01:32] <ratcheer> bjrohan: When you installed the upgrades, you probably installed the latest driver. You need to switch to using the FOSS radeon driver.
[01:32] <kalledelta> TJ: yes, but my server knows that I should be talking to 15.15.15.15 that does all my forwarding...
[01:33] <bjrohan> OK
[01:33] <bharwell> TJ-: has that iso finished downloading?
[01:33] <bjrohan> ratcheer, let me know what to do and I will give it a go :-)
[01:33] <TJ-> kalledelta: yeah... that's my point... if 15.15.15.15 actually has 80.a.b.c assigned to one if its interfaces, then it'll never route packets for that destination outside of itself
[01:33] <TJ-> bharwell: I'm putting it on a USB now
[01:33] <bharwell> TJ-: thanks
[01:34] <ratcheer> bjrohan: I don't know exactly what you need to do because I've never done that before. You need to find instructions to remove Catalyst and confugure your system to use radeon.
[01:34] <bjrohan> ratcheer: I greatly appreciate this
[01:34] <bjrohan> OK
[01:35] <bjrohan> what about the vvlim?
[01:35] <bjrohan> someone said that was on there and is spanking new ratcheer
[01:35] <ratcheer> bjrohan: Sorry, I have no idea what vvlim is.
[01:35] <FunkyELF> I edited /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and now want to revert it back to original... I reinstalled php5-common and it is still in its edited state.  How to revert this file?
[01:35] <bjrohan> ok
[01:36] <ratcheer> bjrohan: There should be instructions in the ubuntu.com docs for switching from fglrx to radeon.
[01:37] <hak1> hi !
[01:37] <rhizmoe> how do i prevent the system updater from nagging me about "recommended updates?"
[01:37] <kalledelta> TJ: Since I only have a "mock" of 15.15.15.15 (which represents my ISPs router), I can see the traffic coming there when I do a ping from "my" router...
[01:38] <kalledelta> TJ: and there I see my SNAT ip > target IP ...
[01:38] <TJ-> kalledelta: those are the outgoing packets from vlan3 being seen as they arrive on 15.15.15.15.
[01:39] <ratcheer> bjrohan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[01:39] <TJ-> kalledelta: 15.15.15.15 won't care too much what the source IP is; it'll be more interested in the destination IP
[01:39] <kalledelta> TJ: Yes.. they are sent on my router vlan3 that has ip 15.15.15.16 to my ISPs router .15
[01:40] <kalledelta> TJ: Well, they look at the source ip also since they don't want to spoof traffic :-)
[01:40] <bjrohan> ratcheer thank you
[01:40] <TJ-> kalledelta: yes but only for creating the conntrack table
[01:41] <TJ-> kalledelta: but when packets come back with a destination IP of 80.a.b.c it'll route those to the device that advertises over ARP "I have 80.a.b.c"
[01:41] <ratcheer> bjrohan: You're welcome.
[01:41] <kalledelta> TJ: No, they will be sent to the device answering ARP for 15.15.15.16
[01:42] <kalledelta> TJ: you sent me a link earlier… do you know what that filter-output-thingy is? in the forward chain?
[01:42] <TJ-> kalledelta: OK, yes, sorry... layer 2 forwarding! It's looong past my bedtime
[01:42] <kalledelta> TJ: for me too.. it's 03:42 here in sweden :-)
[01:42] <hak1> how i can   paste files  to /usr/share/applications  protected directed directory via terminal ?
[01:42] <seraph13> is anyone receiving this message
[01:42] <TJ-> kalledelta:  you're an hour ahead of me :p
[01:43] <seraph13> i guess not
[01:43] <TJ-> kalledelta: So it comes back to the fact, you need an interface on the server that answers to 80.a.b.c ... vlan3:1 would be the way to do that I think, then that machines internal routing table will know what to do
[01:43] <ghostnik11> hi i am running a vga cable to my 27 inch sony flat from my desktop and my nvidia driver i installed the one from nvidia directly via terminal. the thing is that i am now stuck with 640 x 480 resolution and want to increase my resolution, i have edited the xorg.conf file and have gotten no where? how can i fix this issue?
[01:43] <rhizmoe> killall update-notifier will have to do for now, i guess
[01:44] <kalledelta> TJ: tried that… just did a ip a add 80.xxxxx and it didn't do any difference
[01:44] <TJ-> kalledelta: you'd change that iptables rule slightly so it forwards out on vlan3:1
[01:44] <rhizmoe> ghostnik11: what does "i have edited" mean?
[01:44] <abimael> Hi :-)
[01:45] <TJ-> kalledelta: what does the routing table look like now you've added the IP?
[01:45] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: i have added mode 1028 x 768 (the standard resolution for every monitor) in screen section of xorg.conf
[01:46] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: would you like me to show you a pastebin of current xorg.conf
[01:46] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: one sec will get it real quick
[01:48] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: here is a pastebin of what i have done: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186706/
[01:48] <kalledelta> TJ: 80.156.155.160/27 dev vlan3  proto kernel  scope link  src 80.156.155.161
[01:49] <kalledelta> no new gateways
[01:49] <kalledelta> TJ: should I do something with the mangle-stuff?
[01:49] <rhizmoe> ghostnik11: when you say "every monitor," have you verified that your TV can display that resolution?
[01:49] <bjrohan> ratcheers: I followed the link on the page you sent to remove the drivers, when I did it said nothing was removed :-( Also that pages doesn't say how ti install the radeon driver
[01:49] <TJ-> kalledelta: It ought to be able to cope now... as long as 15.15.15.15 is forwarding 80.a.b.c back to vlan3
[01:51] <kalledelta> TJ: it doesn't work...
[01:51] <abimael> anybody Good at BLENDER??
[01:51] <abimael> 3D Design??
[01:52] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: good point here is what i can output from this paste bin when i run this command xrandr -d :0 -q
[01:53] <z1lt0id> just wondering how simple it is to use openbox in conjunction with gnome on ubuntu 12.04?
[01:53] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186707/
[01:54] <TJ-> kalledelta: are you forwarding all the 80.156.155.160/30 to vlan3?
[01:54] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: also i know as a primary source i can fire off resolution 1024 x 768 because when i use nouvea driver it runs that resolution
[01:55] <robotwizard> how does one install Ubuntu desktop dual boot xp on first hard drive Ubuntu on second nutbootloader on floppy drive?
[01:55] <kalledelta> TJ: vlan3 is just the logical name.. I forward it to 15.15.15.15...
[01:55] <qwebirc83149> I have a P4 on an 845g MB running 10.04. I wanted to start fresh, so I download mythbuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso and used the startup disk creator to make a bootable usb from the image. But I get the following when I try to boot from it. I have tried two different usb drives and checked the md5sum of the iso.  kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.
[01:55] <kalledelta> that is my default gateway
[01:55] <TJ-> kalledelta: yeah, that's what I mean. The router (15.15.15.15) isn't splitting off one of the IPs to another device?
[01:56] <zabomber> ?
[01:56] <TJ-> kalledelta: so that means the netmask for the 80.a.b.c on vlan3 needs to bet set to a /30 too
[01:56] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: sorry i gave you a bad pastebin last time, it didn't have everything because terminal wasn't maximized
[01:57] <kalledelta> the 80.a.b.c is /27
[01:57] <kalledelta> hmmm...
[01:57] <jonathan_> something is wrong with my sound
[01:57] <TJ-> kalledelta: ahh sorry. Your earlier comment confused me, /30 is on the router!
[01:57] <robotwizard> meant "bootloader"
[01:58] <ghostnik11> rhizmoe: sorry it was the whole thing
[01:58] <cowsquad> where do I find the package manager in ubuntu 12.04?
[01:58] <xangua> cowsquad: software center is right there in the launcher; if you mean synaptic open software center and install it
[01:59] <m6d4> cowsquad: press the window key then type synaptic software
[01:59] <TJ-> kalledelta: can you see any ping packets going through your router right now? I'm pinging the 80....163 address
[01:59] <jonathan_> sound works in browser but won't play in music player.. on sound menu output and input are empty.
[01:59] <ghostnik11> cowsquad: if your talking about synaptic its not installed by default you to do so from ubuntu software manager
[01:59] <kalledelta> TJ: it's not live...
[01:59] <TJ-> kalledelta: well that shoots that down then!
[01:59] <cowsquad> xangua, ops, yeah synaptic. Got damn, I thought this was mint lol
[02:00] <kalledelta> TJ: that would have been a good idea to find something from the outside, but it sits in our lab right now...
[02:00] <kalledelta> hey!!!
[02:00] <kalledelta> hmmm...
[02:01] <TJ-> kalledelta: if it's not live how do you expect to get replies to pings sourced on the server? if 15.15.15.15 is forwarding the packets, there's nothing 'upstream' that can 'bounce' the packets, is there?
[02:02] <TJ-> kalledelta: I mean, packets for that 80.a.b.c IP are routed by the ISP to your 15.15.15.15 which forwards them over layer 2 to 15.15.15.16. Because there is no layer 3 routing, if the ISP isn't live, there's nothing that can talk back right now
[02:02] <TJ-> kalledelta: unless you have another box on the other side of 15.15.15.15 that is simulating the ISP?
[02:03] <kalledelta> TJ: I have a different box that I run tcpdump on that listens to 15.15.15.15
[02:03] <TJ-> kalledelta: OK
[02:04] <TJ-> kalledelta: How about you try operating those NAT rules with a source-IP (for now!) of 15.15.15.16 and see if that works... if it does, you know its more to do with the ISP connection not being live
[02:04] <moracabanas> hey i want tu autostart a command with argument before i log in my acount. I want to start this "wminput -w -r"...all in ubuntu 12.04

[02:11] <inf3kt3d> hey guys, successfully installed ubuntu 12.04 32bit via WD scorpio in enclosure over usb. problem is, when i reconnect my internal primary HDD, ubuntu will not start, even tho it has boot priority. internal drive does not start either. any ideas?
[02:11] <ring2> moracabanas, you could put in /etc/rc.local
[02:11] <_raven> 12.04 network card does not turn on automatically any more. i have to replug the wire to enable it - any ideas how to enable it by software??
[02:12] <h00k> inf3kt3d: it's probably where your bootloader is installed
[02:12] <h00k> inf3kt3d: that is your issue
[02:13] <h00k> ubottu: grub2 | inf3kt3d you can find information on that here
[02:13] <inf3kt3d> internal drive was disconnected for linux install, could i have missed something during install that i did not include GRUB?
[02:14] <moracabanas> Hello <ring2> . Are you sure this method could start wminput before loggin? could you give me some more details about it? Thanks!
[02:15] <ruben> hello
[02:15] <ruben> can someone pleas ehelp me
[02:15] <TJ-> bharwell: I almost killed my lappy creating that USB from the ISO... used 'dd' and was accidentally writing 1GB blocks instead of 1MB blocks... PC slowed like I was wading thru treacle and to make matters worse I had plugged the USB stick into a USB 1.1 port, not the USB2 ports! :p
[02:15] <WeThePeople> ruben, just ask
[02:15] <h00k> inf3kt3d: I don't think so, if you went through the normal installer...hmm. See if someone else has any ideas, I have to run.
[02:15] <Guest16553> can someone pleas ehelp me ive been looking online for like an hour and nothing
[02:15] <Squarism> Man, i miss a good editor on linux... vim/emacs are too excentric... geany - to buggy, gedit - to basic
[02:15] <inf3kt3d> thanks tho Hook!
[02:15] <Guest16553> i just installed ubuntu  and iw as on windows xp
[02:16] <WeThePeople> guest16553, ask your question
[02:16] <Guest16553> now when i finished the install and i rebooted only the top left of my screen actually shows anything
[02:16] <bharwell> TJ-: Oh jeez xD
[02:16] <h00k> Squarism: check in the software center for editors, how are you defining 'good'? Also, maybe bestbot has some ideas
[02:16] <bokbokbok> Squarism: kate
[02:16] <h00k> !best | Squarism
[02:16] <Guest16553> the resolution my laptop is running is at 640x480
[02:16] <ring2> moracabanas, everything inside rc.local is executed as root at system boot
[02:16] <TJ-> bharwell: firing it up in a VM now
[02:17] <WeThePeople> guest16553, is it a dual boot machine
[02:17] <Guest16553> no its not, ubuntu is the only os on here
[02:17] <Squarism> h00k, true
[02:17] <ring2> moracabanas, but as i read, for wminput it's more suitable to put it in ~/.xsessionrc
[02:17] <Squarism> h00k, well my definition of good is windows style ui + shortcuts.. . the common look and feel of new apps today so to speak.. feature rich and no "exotic" soluitions
[02:18] <ring2> moracabanas, this way it's started automatically with your graphical environment before you log in
[02:18] <WeThePeople> guest16553, can you access the terminal?
[02:18] <Guest16553> yeah i can
[02:18] <Guest16553> WeThePeople, yes i acan

[02:18] <BentFranklin> My 12.04 server used to be 10.4 desktop, and sound worked then.  Now it won't.  I worked through the Sound Troubleshooting website.  (Speakers are on and work in another comp.)  Is aplay Front_Center.wav a good way to test the sound?

[02:19] <h00k> Squarism: you might want to check outside the repository also, like Sublime Text 2 or something.
[02:19] <Squarism> bokbokbok, got any suggestions?
[02:19] <Geoffrey2> at one point I'd found a website that showed how to mount an external pen drive that was being treated like a SCSI device....anyone have an address for it?
[02:19] <Squarism> h00k, ive been wanting ot check out sublime..thought it was windows only and not freeware
[02:20] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, i think it may be a vid card problem, hold on let me see what i ca find

[02:20] <moracabanas> Hello. How can I autostart "wminput -w -r" with etc/rc.local. I need to run this comman before loggin. Thanks!

[02:20] <slowe> Quick question: I'm trying to compile the latest version of libvirt (0.10.1), but it's complaining that it can't find libnl-dev. I know it's installed. Any ideas why libnl isn't being detected?
[02:21] <ring2> moracabanas, i just told you how
[02:21] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, type lshw in terminal
[02:21] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, it also doesnt alow me to change the resolution
[02:21] <WeThePeople> and paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[02:21] <bokbokbok> Squarism: nah, i use gvim so i can't offer anything.
[02:21] <h00k> !registr | inf3kt3d
[02:21] <h00k> bah.
[02:21] <bokbokbok> does ubuntu use systemd now?
[02:22] <h00k> ubottu: tell inf3kt3d about register
[02:22] <Squarism> bokbokbok, does gvim have any of the wierdness of console vim?
[02:22] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, i didint understand the paste part, what did u mean?
[02:22] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  i typed lshw and a bunch of things came up a long list
[02:22] <Squarism> "insert mode" ffs
[02:22] <bkc_> Squarism: gvim is vim with a GUI... that's it...
[02:22] <Squarism> so damn lol
[02:22] <inf3kt3d> ty so much
[02:22] <bokbokbok> Squarism: all the same weirdness with gtk menus, a button bar, better mouse selection and Xft rendering
[02:22] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, copy and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:23] <slowe> Anyone have any suggestions on why the configure script to compile libvirt (0.10.1) on Ubuntu 12.04.1 won't find the installed libnl-dev package?
[02:23] <inf3kt3d> !register
[02:23] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, in the browser or terminal?
[02:23] <WeThePeople> browser

[02:24] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  okay im at the website
[02:24] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, copy and paste terminal output to the box
[02:24] <ring2> moracabanas, execute this in a terminal and restart afterwards: echo "wminput -w -r &" > ~/.xsessionrc
[02:24] <WeThePeople> and copy and paste the url to your irc client
[02:25] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, okay did

[02:25] <slowe> Anyone had any success compiling libvirt 0.10.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1? I've run into an issue and any help would be appreciated.

[02:26] <BigSexySlimer> it always restarted

[02:27] <ring2> moracabanas, did you get the command?

[02:28] <h00k> BigSexySlimer: I haven't had issues on quite a few different hardwares in the last two years, the kernel has gotten considerably better
[02:28] <BigSexySlimer> h00k: i get the impression it's not a kernel issue but rather a package issue like bnc seems to be suggesting
[02:28] <bkc_> BigSexySlimer: also setup some kernel-parameters, have a swap-partition, and if you still have programs you have to give pm-utils a couple of pointers on what to do on suspend/resume...
[02:28] <slowe> Any takers on a question regarding compiling libvirt 0.10.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1?

[02:29] <Supermanintights> hi, I've recently set up my thunderbird with my calendar settings, and I'm looking for a way to run it through a screensaver - either directly or a screensaver that just displays the content behind it in some way.  I want to leave my calendar running in the background on one of my machines, but I want to try and avoid image burn etc.
[02:29] <TJ-> BigSexySlimer: Check /var/log/kern.log ... the kernel now reports which processes or tasks prevent the suspend operation
[02:29] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, ill try
[02:29] <h00k> BigSexySlimer: well, the issues previously were with the kernel handing different subsystems in inappropriate order, but they've done lots of collaboration in the past two years
[02:30] <h00k> inf3kt3d: are you logged in?
[02:30] <BigSexySlimer> inf3kt3d /set irc_delay_time 10 has to be added to your irc program if i'm not mistaken
[02:30] <TJ-> BigSexySlimer: some device drivers are still problematic; as are things like NFS shares in some circumstances. I moved to Linux v3.6rc4 recently and suspend improved in speed and reliability dramatically
[02:30] <BigSexySlimer> TJ- if i plan on using the binary nvidia driver over nouveau, will that cause issues?
[02:31] <h00k> BigSexySlimer: Even with the binary driver, suspend works beautifuly here
[02:31] <TJ-> BigSexySlimer: I'm using Nvidia 304 and its been great. Some great new multi-monitor and xrandr support and it auto configures across multiple monitors now just like nouveau
[02:31] <inf3kt3d> hook: yes im logged in BigSexySlimer: i get no such variable :shrug:
[02:32] <BigSexySlimer> inf3kt3d it's a variation of that. if you /j #fedora, it actually gives you the exact command in the topic
[02:32] <TJ-> BigSexySlimer: sometimes after a suspend or having closed the laptop lid, I have to run nvidia-settings to reconfigure the 2nd screen, but its still much better than the nvidia 295 experience
[02:32] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, which part am i supposed to do? im confused
[02:32] <BigSexySlimer> TJ- and ubuntu is up to the 304 driver?
[02:33] <TJ-> BigSexySlimer: It's in Precise-proposed
[02:33] <bkc_> BigSexySlimer: ppa
[02:33] <bkc_> or just install directly from nvidia's site?

[02:36] <TJ-> bharwell: Grrr! I couldn't get it to fail!
[02:36] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, by the way did u get to look at my system specs? i know its an old laptop but it has a 2.2 ghz and a gig of ram, should this be enough to run ubuntu cause right now its going pretty slow haha
[02:37] <Supermanintights> ok cool, it's simply as it could be left on the calendar for several hours a day straight - like 6, so was just concerned with it being a static image for so long.
[02:37] <Supermanintights> thanks h00k
[02:37] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, im on pent 4 with 3 ghz and it runs with no probs
[02:37] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, the specs are good
[02:37] <rubenjr7777> idk im hoping this problem is also making the computer lag abit
[02:38] <rubenjr7777> so if i fix it the lag will go away
[02:38] <bharwell> TJ-: Ahh well, thanks anyway. I'm almost done downloading the live installer anyway.

[02:46] <bkc_> rubenjr7777: that means you have 5months old software on your harddrive... *update*
[02:46] <rubenjr7777> bkc_, i have already it says there no more updates
[02:46] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, you have tried the apt-get update command then
[02:47] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, i just did it now
[02:47] <WeThePeople> ok
[02:47] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  it showed a bunch of things but didint download anything i dont think at least
[02:47] <rubenjr7777> its done already
[02:47] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, its done already
[02:47] <WeThePeople> ok
[02:47] <WeThePeople> im still lookin
[02:48] <rubenjr7777> this is the worst =[ i cant even ready haha only 1/4 of my screen is being used
[02:48] <rubenjr7777> read*
[02:48] <rubenjr7777> as if this 15 inch screen wasnt smal enought o begin with
[02:48] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, are you on a laptop
[02:48] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, yes
[02:49] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople, dell inspiron 1100
[02:49] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  i changed the processor and ram but the graphic card stayed the same
[02:49] <bkc_> ooh... lag with an intel-graphics card? that's a bug in the intel-driver
[02:50] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  i used to have ubuntu about a year ago on it before and i never had this problem so im not sure why im getting now
[02:50] <bkc_> I have it on a preatty good dual-core laptop with arch/openbox... still no go
[02:50] <rubenjr7777> bkc_, nah its like only the top left 1/4  of my screen is actually showing somehting and al windows are cut off cause the display area is so small
[02:50] <bkc_> o.O
[02:51] <bkc_> tried xrandr?
[02:51] <rubenjr7777> bkc_, the resolution is locked to 640x480
[02:51] <bkc_> paste the output of xrandr, and I'll have a look
[02:51] <rubenjr7777> the worst part is i have to type college essays soon so if i cant get this tonight im going to have to go back to windows xp and type on notebad......just great
[02:52] <rubenjr7777> ruben@ruben-Inspiron-1100:~$ xrandr
[02:52] <rubenjr7777> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 640 x 480, maximum 2048 x 2048
[02:52] <rubenjr7777> VGA1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
[02:52] <rubenjr7777>    1360x768       59.8
[02:52] <rubenjr7777>    1152x864       60.0
[02:52] <FloodBot1> rubenjr7777: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:52] <rubenjr7777>    1024x768       60.0
[02:52] <bkc_> I'd suggest installing OpenOffice or LibreOffice on WinCP and come back tomorrow :)
[02:53] <rubenjr7777> i can only see out of the smal top left 1/4 of my 15 inch screen though, thats small haha and its cut off all windows cause the display area is so small
[02:53] <bkc_> but, "Screen 0" is obviously wrong and not identified correctly... it should say "LVDS" and maybe some digit afterwards :)
[02:54] <BentFranklin> rubenjr7777:  A legal pad and a scanner is better than notepad.
[02:54] <bkc_> I meant reboot to Windows, install OpenOffice/LibreOffice, do your homework and play some more tomorrow :)
[02:54] <bkc_> BentFranklin: xD
[02:54] <rubenjr7777> BentFranklin, i agree
[02:54] <rubenjr7777> bkc_, ubuntu is the only os on the hd now
[02:55] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: You're not the only one affected the same on the model; You might want to read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11372520&postcount=5
[02:55] <rubenjr7777> do u think if i tried another distro this problem will persist also?
[02:55] <bkc_> rubenjr7777: me guess from that paste is that the driver thinks your LCD is connected to VGA1, and then defaults to 640x480 on the LVDS :/
[02:56] <bkc_> try xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768
[02:56] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Here's a potential solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11094421&postcount=6
[02:56] <bkc_> rubenjr7777: or 1024x768... depending on what resolution it should be
[02:56] <rubenjr7777> bkc_, xrandr: cannot find mode 1360x76
[02:57] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: "Basically to fix the problem what needs to happen is after the machine fires up, it needs to switch to
[02:57] <TJ-> character mode before switching into graphical mode, and there needs to be a few seconds in character mode so that your absolutely assured that the mode-set BIOS code has finished executing."
[02:58] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: So the solution seems to be, to edit /etc/default/grub and remove the "quiet splash" options plus have the GRUB menu around for a few seconds to make the BIOS switch into text mode first
[02:58] <bkc_> rubenjr7777: you missed the last digit ;)
[02:58] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, that is pretty complicated haha
[02:59] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: It also goes on to say (in that thread) "With your bios updated (A32), I also recommend setting your bios start memory (sorry I'm not sure exactly what it is labeled) to 8mb (the default is 1mb). You can access that by entering into your bios at start up. It seems to help, or at least appears to provide a smoother start up into Ubuntu."
[02:59] <rubenjr7777> so 1mb instead of 8mb? wont this affect performance!!!
[03:00] <rubenjr7777> well im going to try that really quick il brb
[03:01] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: you can interrupt the bootloader as the PC starts by holding down the SHIFT key. When the boot menu shows, press "e" to edit the top entry... then move the cursor to the line beginning "linux..." and move along to delete "quiet splash" ... then press Ctrl+X to boot that modified configuration. That *might* get you in with a full size screen. If it does, you can then immediately edit "/etc/default/grub" with a text-editor to remove "quiet splash" perma
[03:01] <TJ-> nently and then do "sudo update-grub" to write the new configuration to disk
[03:01] <Rowey> can someone please help me with partition issues on ubuntu?
[03:02] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: That articles says video RAM set to 8MB ( from a default of 1MB)
[03:03] <WeThePeople> rowey, just ask
[03:03] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Set it higher than 8MB if that PC has 512MB of RAM, if it allows that to be done
[03:05] <rubenjr7777> still no luck =[
[03:06] <rubenjr7777> im just going to try linux mint or somehting then
[03:06] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: That articles says video RAM set to 8MB ( from a default of 1MB)
[03:06] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Set it higher than 8MB if that PC has 512MB of RAM, if it allows that to be done
[03:06] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: you can interrupt the bootloader as the PC starts by holding down the SHIFT key. When the boot menu shows, press "e" to edit the top entry... then move the cursor to the line beginning "linux..." and move along to delete "quiet splash" ... then press Ctrl+X to boot that modified configuration. That *might* get you in with a full size screen. If it does, you can then immediately edit "/etc/default/grub" with a text-editor to remove "quiet splash" perma
[03:06] <TJ-> nently and then do "sudo update-grub" to write the new configuration to disk
[03:07] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, it wont let me set it hgiher than 8mb even though i have a gig of ram and ill try the splash thing
[03:08] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: It's OK if 8MB is max... just the more the better :)
[03:09] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: the key thing to understand is that, on that model, the video needs to be initialised in text mode and given some 'settle' time before it switches into graphical mode. So by holding it at the boot menu in text mode you can help it sort itself out
[03:09] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, try this>>> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm-intel1 xorg
[03:10] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: If you find that helps, you can edit the "/etc/default/grub" even further to set "console=text" to force GRUB to always use text mode
[03:11] <WeThePeople> rubenjr7777, and reboot
[03:11] <Guddu> SOS

[03:12] <Guddu> I just installed Ubuntu on HP Paviliion Laptop...DV6426US is the laptop model...Install was complete and then it asked for reboot after removing the media so i did.
[03:12] <Smackbook> does anyone know how to backup a vnstat database and restore it on another computer?
[03:12] <Guddu> Now after rebooot all it shows to me is a cursor blinking on top left....Please help
[03:12] <nate__> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html how does one install this on ubuntu ?
[03:13] <nate__> if I download other platform its in a fucking zip
[03:13] <rubenjr7777> tj your smart!
[03:13] <Ipiretria> hello
[03:13] <rubenjr7777> haha i got a full screen
[03:13] <Ipiretria> can i ask something?
[03:13] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: LOL
[03:13] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  but theres a mojor problem
[03:13] <Ipiretria> what chanel is this?
[03:13] <Ipiretria> i mean is a national channel?
[03:13] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK... what's that?
[03:14] <Ipiretria> i mean is a national channel?
[03:14] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  im not sure if its causits still set to 1mn instead of 8mb but for instancew when i click on something or when im typing i see nothing
[03:14] <cepimkie> Question- i have a small netbook, if i install ubuntu in partition will it negatively affect my performance
[03:14] <rubenjr7777> just b's j's and7's haha
[03:14] <Guddu> Please help
[03:14] <bkc_> cepimkie: no
[03:15] <cepimkie> thanks
[03:15] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, looks like everything is in another language and there is no background
[03:15] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK, so you've got a full screen display but it's not usuable, is that correct?
[03:15] <WeThePeople> nate__, software center type "sql"
[03:15] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, correct
[03:15] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, when it started up after i typed my password there was no background and then everything turned gray i pressed contrl alt delete and thats when i saw the jiberish
[03:16] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: I think that will be caused by the BIOS UMA memory setting - if it is on 1MB then reboot it and set it to 8MB. You'll have to go through that boot-menu editing process again to test it, but if that works and you can read the screen the next time, we can help you edit the settings to be permanent
[03:16] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay, thank you btw. one sec let me try that
[03:16] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: wait!!!!
[03:17] <Geoffrey2> hey everyone!  I'm trying to mount a usb stick that the computer is treating as a SCSI device...dmesg is showing the device, and is giving me a device sdb1...trying to mount sdb1 is accomplishing nothing, however...at least as far as I can tell
[03:17] <nate__> NO this is an older ubuntu version and anyway I would rather go and download it thru there site that should be possible . Why do people have to make life so fuck hard
[03:17] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: when you delete "quiet splash" replace it this time with "single" ... that'll stop the PC trying to start the Graphical user interface, and we can get the GRUB config file edited first
[03:17] <Guddu> nate__:  What's inside the Zip?
[03:17] <tsimpson> nate__: watch your language in here. grab the .zip, and read the instructions
[03:18] <nate__> I don't no the archiver in ubuntu won't open it or extract it , tar doesn;t work on it either
[03:19] <nate__> why wouldn't you just make a tar version that way is the most univerial for all linux can pretty much uses it
[03:20] <TJ-> nate__: try using 'file' on the zip to find out whats really in it. "file <filename.ext>"
[03:21] <rubenjr7777> tj good news i can see now
[03:21] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Is that with the graphical user interface?
[03:22] <Guddu> Could someone help me with my Ubuntu installl issue? blinking cursor is what shows up after a fresh installl.
[03:22] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, is it with what?
[03:22] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  it looks normal and its full screen now =]
[03:22] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: the GUI ... mouse, windows, etc
[03:22] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: in other words, *not* just a text console
[03:22] <brohan> Still having graphics card issues :-(
[03:22] <brohan> I am lost
[03:22] <OerHeks> !nomodeset Guddu
[03:22] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  yes =]
[03:22] <OerHeks> !nomodeset | Guddu
[03:23] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  thank you! =]
[03:23] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Great. Now, lets get you through editing GRUBs configuration permanently
[03:23] <nate__> file says it is a god damn  HTML document text wtf
[03:23] <Guddu> Thanks OerHeks Checking
[03:23] <OerHeks> !language | nate__  you have been warned before
[03:23] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: start a terminal (open the Dash and type "terminal" and start it)
[03:23] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: let me know when you have a terminal window with a command line prompt ready
[03:24] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  can i open a normal one by just clicking on terminal?
[03:24] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: yes
[03:24] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay got it
[03:24] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: I need for you to be able to type some commands, that's all....
[03:24] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, =]
[03:25] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  whatever u say boss =]
[03:25] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK, we are going to start a text-editor as super-user so you'll have to enter your password. Do "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and press Enter.
[03:25] <tsimpson> nate__: actually click the download link, rather than attempting to save it directly, blame oracle
[03:25] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: that will load the file "/etc/default/grub" into the text-editor. Tell me when it's loaded and you see some file contents
[03:26] <nate__> what are you talking about
[03:26] <Guddu>  OerHeks : Pressing the Shift key while boooting does not present me a GRUB Menu :(
[03:26] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  i see them
[03:26] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: good. Look for the line  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  and delete quiet splash to leave ""
[03:26] <nate__> ya, I always save file locally before installing them it is a general good practices
[03:26] <OerHeks> Guddu, it should ..
[03:27] <tsimpson> nate__: no, you need to click the link, sign in to oracle, then download the .zip
[03:27] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay go tit
[03:27] <rubenjr7777> it*
[03:27] <Guddu> OerHeks:  Unfortunately i tried that multiple times. In one attempt i kept the SHIFT pressed....In another i pressed and released rapidly.
[03:27] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK, now do File > Save  ... then you can quit the text editor and go back to the command line
[03:28] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay
[03:28] <TJ-> Guddu: It sounds like you've installed GRUB across more than one drive, and it's not finding its better half
[03:28] <OerHeks> Guddu, did you do a install with wubi inside windows ?
[03:29] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK... at the command line issue the command "sudo update-grub" and you'll need to enter your password
[03:29] <OerHeks> guide doesn't apply to wubi, AFAIk
[03:29] <Guddu> TJ-:  OerHeks I installed outside windows....basically booted with Ubuntu CD and created a new partition table. 20GB Swap and 140 GB Primary mounted on / and ext4
[03:29] <[snake]> could I make a grub entry that points to a filesystem on my desktop
[03:30] <_raven> 12.04 network card does not turn on automatically any more. i have to replug the wire to enable it - any ideas how to enable it by software??
[03:30] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Once "update-grub" has finished you should try rebooting it. This time, you don't need to interrupt the boot at all... it *should* be good on its own. Let me know if it is or not.
[03:31] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay, thank you so much btw =]
[03:31] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: you're welcome
[03:31] <[snake]> TJ-, do you know if you can make a grub entry that points to a filesystem inside of the one I'm in now?
[03:31] <TJ-> [snake]: Are you trying to mess with my mind at this time of the morning!? :D
[03:32] <rubenjr7777> hey i was told that i could install microstf word on ubuntu with wine, the reason i want to is cause i have a college class called intro to software applications and the professor only uses those programs, can wine install them?
[03:32] <jagginess> [snake], grub2 can do that, and has been able to do that for some years now..
[03:32] <[snake]> TJ-, no.
[03:32] <Guddu> TJ OerHeks isn't that a standard way of doing it? GRUB should be able to load.
[03:32] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Don't even think about it!!! Use LibreOffice!
[03:32] <jagginess> [snake], you use grub2's loopback module
[03:32] <[snake]> jagginess, oh sweet!
[03:32] <[snake]> I have gentoo on my desktop :p
[03:32] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  is libreoffice compatible with excell and publisher and what not
[03:32] <Guddu> Or shall i reinstall?
[03:33] <TJ-> [snake]: It may be technically possible using loop mounts but I think it'd tax even a GRUB expert to figure out, so I'd say No :)
[03:33] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: I generally find it is, yes
[03:33] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  okay thank you =]
[03:33] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, ima reboot nowq
[03:33] <jagginess> [snake], you mean <filesystem>/somefile   , and somefile contains a filesystem in itself-- this somefile can be mounted and become "/" on "boot"
[03:33] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Do that reboot now ... it's 4.30am here and I need sleep!
[03:34] <[snake]> jagginess, yes I want to boot into /home/snake/Desktop/mnt/gentoo/
[03:34] <jagginess> TJ-, nope. grub has been able to do this for quite some time. (wubi)
[03:34] <TJ-> jagginess: loop mounting yes?
[03:34] <TJ-> jagginess: don't feel like explaining it though :p
[03:34] <jagginess> TJ-, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29 (see the "See Also", there's more than just wubi)
[03:34] <_raven> 12.04 network card does not turn on automatically any more. i have to replug the wire to enable it - any ideas how to enable it by software??
[03:35] <jagginess> TJ-, on boot, yes it is possible
[03:35] <jagginess> (kernel has to support it as well)
[03:35] <jagginess> [snake], it cant be a too old kernel of course, it has to support it as well..
[03:35] <jagginess> [snake], #linux
[03:36] <jagginess> !gentoo
[03:36] <Guddu> OerHeks:  Anything else i could try? May be a reinstall?
[03:36] <rubenjr7777> it went back to that small box in the corner tj =[
[03:36] <TJ-> Guddu: do you have any USB flash keys inserted when that happens?
[03:36] <Guddu> TJ-:  No....I have no USB Devices attached to this Laptop
[03:37] <Guddu> Not even a CD
[03:37] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Aha!... then that suggests the pause for the boot menu at boot-time is important. Can you try booting again, and this time press SHIFT and hold it on the menu for 10 seconds, then start it
[03:37] <Guddu> TJ-:  I checked and even changed the boot order to have HDD as the first....
[03:37] <_raven> 12.04 network card does not turn on automatically any more. i have to replug the wire to enable it - any ideas how to enable it by software??
[03:37] <[snake]> jagginess, I'll keep my kernels up to date
[03:37] <jagginess> Guddu, you using wubi correct?
[03:38] <TJ-> Guddu: It sounds as if the GRUB boot-strap in sector 0 is being read, but it can't find the 2nd stage and therefore can't get to the point where it can read /boot/grub/ and build the menu
[03:38] <Guddu> jagginess:  What is meant by WUBI? I installled Ubuntu 12.40 Desktop 32 Bit Version
[03:38] <jagginess> Guddu, do fdisk -l , does it say "loopback" anywhere?
[03:38] <jagginess> Guddu, (or sudo fdisk -l)
[03:38] <Guddu> jagginess:  TO do that shall i use the installer CD again?
[03:38] <jagginess> Guddu, lol dam
[03:39]  * jagginess slaps himself and forgot Guddu is yet working on a boot problem
[03:39] <Guddu> jagginess:  Yes...i booted using the Installer CD....
[03:39] <jagginess> Guddu, ok sounds like you arent..
[03:39] <jagginess> !rescue
[03:39] <Guddu> jagginess:  Alternate Install CD is a different CD then what i used to install at first place?
[03:39] <jagginess> there's another smaller rescue cd.. lemme find it
[03:40] <rubenjr7777> still small tj =[
[03:40] <Guddu> Ok :)
[03:40] <jagginess> Guddu, let me know if this helps.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[03:40] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Hmm. Let's check that those changes you saved from the text-editor really have been used
[03:40] <solofight> people i had a rsa key setup for my linux machine for ssh - have been using this for yers - all of sudden the key gets refused
[03:40] <Guddu> jagginess:  Checking now
[03:41] <solofight> it says server refused our key - no supported authentication methods available
[03:41] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, how do we do that =[
[03:41] <solofight> any idea why this could happen ?
[03:41] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: reboot again, interrupt, then press "e" and check that "linux...." line to see if "quiet splash"  has gone or not. If it's there, delete it again, and then boot with Ctrl+X
[03:42] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay
[03:44] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, it wasnt there but its still small
[03:44] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Hmm! *thinks hard*
[03:44] <clint_> .
[03:44] <rubenjr7777> tjq hshs
[03:44] <rubenjr7777> tjq hshs*
[03:44] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, haha*
[03:45] <abimael> anybody good at Blender or any other 3D design?
[03:45] <myr0> test
[03:45] <myr0> rawr
[03:45] <clint_> jsakd\
[03:45] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: We know we fixed it once... so... let's figure out what's different. From what I read, it suggested that part of the issue is timing... if the system goes into graphical mode too quickly the video gets messed up so it needs to be in text mode first and given time to 'relax'
[03:46] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: we could try next having the system start in 'text' mode so it doesn't start the graphical interface. That would allow us to test the theory.
[03:47] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: how about, you reboot it, interrupt it, edit the "linux..." line again, but this time add to it the word "text" and then Ctrl+X
[03:47] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: when the system starts...
[03:47] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: ... it should stop at a command prompt with no GUI - no mouse, no windows... but you should have a screen with a login prompt
[03:47] <ielezovikj> How do I disable Unity and use the classical gnome?
[03:48] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: so you do the login, then at the command prompt you'll type "sudo service lightdm start"  - you might want to write that command down!
[03:48] <jagginess> ielezovikj, apt-get install gnome-shell, then click the gear-icon on the logon screen (gear icon near your username0
[03:48] <OerHeks> !nounity
[03:49] <ielezovikj> jagginess: There are some broken packages, it won't install.
[03:49] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Are you still reading?
[03:50] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, yes but im nto sure what screen you are referring to
[03:50] <Guddu> jagginess:  I got disconnected....I am downloading Boot Repair CD now. Will take 20 Minutes and 10 Minutes to Burn the CD. Will you be here?
[03:50] <jagginess> ielezovikj, unity can go crazy on you, so if you decide to come back to use "unity" after using tweaking tools on any type of gnome desktop (gnome classic, gnome etc), unity in your account may not work properly again (just in your user account alone, not for other users, -- also you may be able to wipe out all .gnome settings and then unity can be fixed like this, but it isnt ideal)
[03:50] <IdleOne> ielezovikj: run sudo apt-get -f install , that should fix the broken packages
[03:51] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: OK well don't worry about all that immediately. I've seen something else that should help. Reboot it, then edit the "linux..." line and simply add the word "nomodeset" then Ctrl+X to boot it ... you should be good then. If that works, we'll edit /etc/default/grub again and add that setting permanently
[03:51] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, ok ill try it =]
[03:51] <jagginess> TJ-, /etc/default/grub is for the update-grub/2 script to update grub.cfg
[03:52] <jagginess> (dont forget to run the update script after making any changes to /etc/default/grub)
[03:52] <TJ-> jagginess:  correct
[03:52] <TJ-> jagginess: we've done it once already, I'm just preparing ruben ahead of time for the plan of action
[03:52] <clint_> exit
[03:54] <jagginess> Guddu, the install cd/dvd of ubuntu has tools in command-line mode to fix your ubuntu, but it's not very attractive, if the boot-repair iso you'll be trying sux, then the more difficult way of fixing it should be doable (and many people have been using the more difficult way)
[03:54] <jagginess> Guddu, i have no idea how really good that boot-repair iso is, so it would be nice to know if it is helpful :)
[03:55] <jagginess> Guddu, but its mentioned on the community ubuntu wiki, so i'm wildly guessing it must be pretty stable
[03:55] <Guddu> jagginess:  While it downloads, i can try Command Line way....As i have the origina installer CD with me.
[03:55] <[1]red> hey can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to create nzb files?
[03:56] <jagginess> Guddu, it's very geeky you'll really be turned off by it
[03:56] <Guddu> :)
[03:56] <rubenjr> TJ-, the first time it booted it went into low graphic mode and then i restarted it and it type nomodeset again and it worked
[03:56] <TJ-> rubenjr: OK so you've got the GUI with windows and mouse again now?
[03:56] <[1]red> everything I have found was either not informative or for windows
[03:56] <rubenjr> tj yes
[03:56] <rubenjr> TJ-,  yes
[03:57] <TJ-> rubenjr: right, start that terminal again, then do "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub"
[03:57] <wtfcon> hey guys
[03:57] <wtfcon> trying to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.04.1 but its just not showing up
[03:57] <wtfcon> any suggestions?
[03:57] <reher> openSUSE 12.2's gnome look pretty nice
[03:57] <TJ-> wtfcon: the .1 updates only apply to the released CD images. If you're on 12.04 you get those updated packages as part of the regular updates
[03:58] <rubenjr> TJ-,  okay
[03:58] <TJ-> wtfcon: 12.04.1 is simply the April release plus all the fixed packages on a freshly spun CD image
[03:58] <TJ-> rubenjr: OK... find that line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" and insert in the quotemarks nomodeset so you have ...="nomodeset"
[03:58] <wtfcon> I see
[03:59] <portale1> ciao
[03:59] <portale1> !list
[03:59] <wtfcon> think I got it updated with the regular updated
[03:59] <wtfcon> updates*
[03:59] <wtfcon> ;)
[03:59] <rubenjr> TJ-,  got it
[03:59] <rubenjr> TJ-, want me to save now?
[03:59] <TJ-> rubenjr: great. Now File > Save and quit the editor, back to the command line
[03:59] <wtfcon> TJ-; thank you!
[03:59] <rubenjr> TJ-,  okay back
[03:59] <TJ-> rubenjr: then you can do "sudo update-grub" and let it fix that change for all future boots
[04:00] <TJ-> rubenjr: I guess you'd best reboot and prove that has fixed it before I go off to bed! :p
[04:00] <rubenjr> how do i get the ruben@ruben-inspiron back
[04:00] <TJ-> rubenjr: back? from where? you mean the terminal prompt?
[04:01] <rubenjr> TJ-,  yeah haha! and no i mean like theres usually ruben@ruben inspiron then like dash and the moneys ign and what not but right now there isnt
[04:01] <wtfcon> TJ-: I am using HP dv6 laptop which comes with Beats Audio, I have tried every possible way I could google or even myself but can't get the subwoofer to work. Do you know of any workaround?
[04:01] <TJ-> rubenjr: have you done "sudo update-grub" yet?
[04:01] <rubenjr> no im stuck
[04:02] <TJ-> wtfcon: audio isn't my strong-point I'm afraid
[04:02] <rubenjr> i pasted it but nothing happendedi
[04:02] <rubenjr> TJ-,  how do i like reset the terminal
[04:02] <TJ-> rubenjr: If you're in that terminal window... and you don't see the prompt... try just pressing enter a few times to give it a reminder
[04:02] <wtfcon> TJ-; thank you for your help! Goodnight! :)
[04:03] <rubenjr> TJ-,  usually before i give a prompt it says :ruben@ruben-Inspiron-1100:~$
[04:03] <TJ-> rubenjr:  did you quit out of the text-editor? if you didn't that might keep the prompt from re-appearing
[04:03] <TJ-> rubenjr: If all else fails, close the terminal window and start a new one :D
[04:03] <rubenjr> its doing something now
[04:04] <TJ-> rubenjr: do we know what it's doing? :)
[04:04] <rubenjr> TJ-, updating grub haha
[04:04] <rubenjr> itsdone ima reboot
[04:04] <TJ-> rubenjr: ha! phew
[04:04]  * TJ- snores :p
[04:06] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  thank you!
[04:06] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: You're good to go?
[04:06] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  one quick question before u go
[04:06] <TJ-> go for it :D
[04:06] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  yes i am thank you -[
[04:07] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, =]*
[04:07] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  can i change this ubuntu to make it have like a norma taskbar
[04:07] <Mailman> I'm having trouble installing a printer driver for my Lexmark X2650. First I ran into an error where it claimed I need CUPS 1.2 or higher (I do). So I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1223710 . It solved that problem, but now I'm getting another error.
[04:07] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  like back when i used linux mint and i tried fedora also they had normal tasksbar but ubuntu has this weird sidebar wher eu have to search and what not
[04:08] <arooni-mobile> looking for something that lets me read offline database media wiki xml exports on ubuntu... a browser of some sort
[04:08] <arooni-mobile> ideas ?
[04:09] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: hahaha now you ask the HARD questions! ... if you're using Ubuntu Precise you are using the Unity desktop environment interface. I think on that PC you'll be using Unity 2D. It's a long story but "no" ... I'd suggest you try installing a different desktop environment. One that doesn't require so many CPU and RAM resources... I'd suggest you might enjoy lubuntu.
[04:09] <rubenjr7777> TJ-, okay, thank you very much for everything =]
[04:09] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: At the log-in screen against your name there's a gear-type icon. Pressing that allows you to choose from the installed desktop environments. If you open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" you can have lubuntu as one of the desktop options.
[04:10] <isacking> Hello, I works on xubuntu 12.04. After connecting Kinect and running glview, I get "Number of devices found: 0". Does anyone know why?
[04:10] <jagginess> !xubuntu
[04:10] <TJ-> rubenjr7777:  That PC is going to struggle with the full Ubuntu because it is CPU intensive
[04:10] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  ill write it down!
[04:10] <LiDaR> i should make my own ubuntu version and call it wubuntu use window maker for the gui
[04:10] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  haha now my computer is telling me i have 52 updates all of a sudden
[04:10] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: I run lubuntu on several of my older notebooks and its great - proper menus too!
[04:11] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: do those updates, they'll be bug fixes
[04:11] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: anything else before I crawl into bed as the cockerel starts crowing?
[04:11] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  i also have a wireless adapter that i order online should that work as soon as i plug it in?
[04:12] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: That depends on the maker of the chips that control it. Some chipsets for Wifi are a pain to get sorted, but others, like Intel, will just plug in and go
[04:12] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  cause currently im using like a 100 foot long ethernet cable
[04:12] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Broadcom, Realtek and Atheros are the ones I hear of most often with problems installing/configuring their drivers
[04:12] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,   i have an adapter now and linux recognizes it but doenst let me us eit
[04:13] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: wow! Well, when the wifi arrives if it doesn't work immediately come and ask for help here, there's plently of experts in that area too
[04:13] <rubenjr7777> \orksTJ-,  yeah i have a realtek one right now and it plugs in and it tells me its plugged in but then doesnt show me any availible wireless netwp
[04:13] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: ahhh... yes. Well that's something we might tackle tomorrow :D
[04:13] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  sounds good, thanks!
[04:14] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: I always specify Intel Wifi for that reason :)
[04:14] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  goodnight and once again thank you!
[04:14] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  haha i think the one i bought is intel
[04:14] <TJ-> Well, goodnight. Glad you're sorted out and you can enjoy your PC
[04:14] <rubenjr7777> TJ-,  me to =]
[04:14] <TJ-> rubenjr7777: Yay! good choice
[04:14] <TJ-> g'night

[04:15] <Cell> Can someone help? I just installed ATIdrivers fglrx, and now when I try to log on to Cinnamon, it's launching what looks like Unity instead
[04:15] <rubenjr7777> WeThePeople,  yes =]
[04:15] <WeThePeople> cell, cell as in DBZ
[04:15] <Cell> yes
[04:15] <WeThePeople> cool
[04:16] <Cell> I think I accidently installed for XORG on the ATI installer
[04:16] <WeThePeople> cell, uninstall whatever you installed.. might help
[04:16] <Cell> I don't know how
[04:17] <Cell> it installed itself, I dont think it used the package manager
[04:17] <WeThePeople> sudo apt-get autoremove package name'
[04:17] <crizis> ehm, what
[04:17] <Cell> but I didnt use sudo apt-get to install it
[04:17] <crizis> select cinnamon session from login screen?
[04:17] <Cell> yes
[04:17] <Cell> I installed Cinnamon
[04:18] <Cell> it was working fine for a long time, it's just this ATI thing that messed it up
[04:18] <crizis> remove cinnamon and install it again
[04:18] <Cell> no, cinnamon is not the problem, it's this ATI installer, I think it's forcing me to logon with xwindows or something
[04:18] <GeekAdmin> Anyway to get more options for screen resolutions in Ubuntu?  When I use "Additonal Drivers" it doesnt find any additional graphics drivers. Using INTEL HD on a lenovo laptop. ubuntu 12.04 with gnome classic.
[04:18] <Cell> how does Ubuntu normally start up?
[04:18] <crizis> ah
[04:19] <crizis> so
[04:19] <crizis> Cell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[04:19] <Cell> hm yeah that might work
[04:19] <Cell> what is lightdm btw
[04:19] <crizis> the login manager
[04:19] <Cell> is that based on xwindows
[04:19] <crizis> that question doesn't even make any sense
[04:19] <Cell> I dont understand the role of xwindows in all this, is it a layer beneath all the GUI systems?
[04:20] <crizis> X = graphics server
[04:20] <crizis> whatever you see on the screen which is NOT the barebone console = X
[04:20] <Cell> so gnome and unity sit on top of X?
[04:20] <crizis> yes
[04:20] <Cell> and X interfaces to the hardware directly?
[04:21] <crizis> yes (if you don't go little details like kernel drivers :)
[04:21] <WeThePeople> geekadmin, have you checked the monitor gui
[04:21] <reher> Cell: X is a windowing system, gnome and kde are desktop environments
[04:21]  * myr0 is gone. gone
[04:22] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  dont think I have. Will now thanks
[04:22] <Cell> I come from Windows where the DE IS the WM
[04:22] <ebs512> +
[04:22] <ebs512> -----------------------
[04:22] <reher> desktop environments bring along more that just the pretty graphics you see. They bring tools etc.
[04:22] <Cell> What exactly does X do, it seems like an unnceessary layer if you aren't running a remote session
[04:23] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  oh are you just taling about "Displays"?
[04:23] <ebs512> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[04:23] <ebs512> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[04:23] <FloodBot1> ebs512: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:23] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  I dont see "monitors in system settings"
[04:23] <WeThePeople> geekadmin, yeah it could be.. im on 10.04
[04:24] <GeekAdmin> It only gives me 4 options for resolution. This is unnaceptable considering I have 2 monitors
[04:24] <crizis> Cell, X draws everything on your screen, whether it's local or remote
[04:25] <Cell> Why don't the desktop managers do that themselves instead of depending on x?
[04:25] <WeThePeople> geekadmin, do you ave both monitors running
[04:25] <crizis> Cell, like how, by drawing straight to framebuffer without drivers? =P
[04:26] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  yes I do, but I cant get both to be just right at the same time. Just not enough options for screen res.
[04:26] <Cell> Doesnt the kernel providea hardware abstraction layer
[04:26] <Cell> Help me understand this in windows terms. What is X for windows? The gdi32.dll API?
[04:27] <Mailman> I'm having trouble installing a printer driver for my Lexmark X2650. First I ran into an error where it claimed I need CUPS 1.2 or higher (I do). So I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1223710 . It solved that problem, but now I'm getting another error. (Sorry for reposting. The guide said to wait at least 5-10 minutes to re-ask so I waited 20 to be safe.)
[04:27] <WeThePeople> geekadmin, their is a program called "Multiple Screens" in software center check it out
[04:28] <ForSpareParts> Has anyone had any trouble getting video out from a Sandy Bridge-based integrated graphics card? Mine's stuck at 640x480 or 720x480, and I don't know why
[04:28] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  k thanks
[04:28] <crizis> Cell, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System (i know nothing about windows, oldfart born with unixes :)
[04:29] <Cell> Thanks
[04:29] <reher> cell, windows is totally different. youget one single implementation built by ms
[04:29] <WeThePeople> mailman, what distro u on
[04:29] <Cell> reher yeah thats why its hard to understand what these different components do in linux
[04:30] <Cell> Im used to an architecture where these are all rolled into one thing
[04:30] <crizis> Cell, on long term, there are plans to replace X at some point with Wayland display server, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_%28display_server_protocol%29
[04:30] <GeekAdmin> WeThePeople:  all I see when i type "multiple screens" in the software center is Lyricue, Hackworld, and Yabause
[04:30] <reher> on linx, X is more of a framework, a protocol to draw graphics, the desktop environments extend this functionality by bringing in their interfaces and tools etc.
[04:31] <Cell> so you could run an gui application without usinga desktop?
[04:31] <crizis> Cell, going to fine details, on local machine X server talks to "clients" through unix sockets so nothing goes through network
[04:31] <Mailman> WeThePeople: I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.1
[04:31] <reher> there's no equivalent in windows because it works in a different way
[04:31] <crizis> Cell, and there are extensions to draw directly to the gpu, like what OpenGL games do
[04:32] <Cell> why does it use the client-server architecture? Can multiple desktop sessions run off the same computer?
[04:32] <crizis> Cell, yes
[04:32] <Cell> oh I see
[04:32] <reher> yep
[04:32] <crizis> you can use a single machine to provide desktops for bunch of thinclients
[04:32] <Cell> interesting
[04:32] <reher> and, also, multiple implementations (KDE, GNOME, etc.)
[04:32] <crizis> reher, desktops have nothing to do with X
[04:32] <crizis> these are just apps that run on top of X
[04:33] <ForSpareParts> Does having fglrx installed break compatibility with Intel graphics? I had fglrx before for an AMD card, and I'm wondering if that's causing the problems I'm seeing now...
[04:33] <Cell> ForSpareParts I just installed fglrx and it messed up my desktop
[04:33] <Cell> stay away!
[04:34] <crizis> fglrx works fine
[04:34] <Cell> well I cant get into cinnamon anymore
[04:34] <crizis> reinstall the cinnamon
[04:34] <Cell> itspresent at the login screen, I log in, and then I see unity interface
[04:34] <crizis> did you select the cinnamon session from login screen?
[04:35] <crizis> fgrlx has nothing to do with being able to log in to cinnamon or not
[04:35] <Cell> yes
[04:35] <crizis> Cell, sudo apt-get remove cinnamon && sudo apt-get install cinnamon
[04:35] <ForSpareParts> Cell, well, I'm going to try getting rid of it, we'll see if it helps...
[04:35] <Cell> well when I installed it from the ATI installer, I think it must have forced the login script to run Unity
[04:36] <crizis> ok well, i've used additional drivers dialog and it Just Works(tm) every time
[04:36] <Cell> will reinstalling cinnamon remove my current settings? I have a custom theme
[04:37] <crizis> Cell, any particular reason why you installed amd driver manually?
[04:37] <crizis> Cell, if you have these things in your account dir, these won't be removed
[04:37] <Cell> Because I read people had problems in the version in the software center so I wanted to use the latest version off their website
[04:37] <crizis> Cell, you can install newer driver from ubuntu repositories too
[04:37] <Cell> what script gets executed when I log in from ligthdm? Maybe I can just edit the options there
[04:38] <Adie> I am having issues with a corrupted mouse cursor on only one of my three screens. any ideas?
[04:38] <Adie> goes away on restart, but randomly re-appears
[04:38] <crizis> Cell, only the default (package fglrx) is little outdated, but there is way to install updates as they get released (install package fglrx-updates)
[04:38] <jagginess> Adie, what do you mean "three screens", you using 3 monitors?
[04:39] <LiDaR> lotuspsychje can help you Adie
[04:39] <Cell> Well it's too late now, unless I figure out a way to uninstall everything that installer did
[04:39] <jagginess> (screens term can also mean other things)
[04:39] <Adie> jagginess, yes, I have three displays
[04:39] <crizis> Cell, also, it's possible to create proper .deb files out of ati's installer so nothing gets messed up in ubuntu
[04:39] <Adie> my mouse cursor often enough corrupts on my middle one
[04:39] <crizis> Cell, just try that reinstalling the cinnamon (it won't remove any settings from your home dir)
[04:39] <jagginess> Adie, does one of the displays do "panning" ?
[04:39] <Cell> crizis it gave me an error when I tried doing the deb thing, it said deb-clean was missing or something like that
[04:40] <ClientAlive> I'm having a problem installing a gnome extension. Is there a chance someone can check it to see if it's a local problem for me or if it's this way for everyone? It's called panel docklet and I get no on/off button to click to install it.
[04:40] <ClientAlive> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/105/panel-docklet/
[04:40] <Adie> jagginess, no
[04:40] <jagginess> Adie, nvidia?
[04:40] <Adie> all three displays run off the same gpu, and all at native resolution
[04:40] <Adie> radeon 6970
[04:40] <crizis> Cell, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29 this wiki has step-by-step instructions what you need to install to get it working
[04:40] <crizis> :)
[04:40] <jagginess> Adie, that's tricky..
[04:41] <jagginess> Adie, i would check for errors in ~/.xsession-errors
[04:41] <jagginess> Adie, maybe it's just gnome acting up..
[04:41] <Cell> I saw that earlier actually
[04:41] <SpacePoet> how do i check the hash of a file?
[04:41] <Cell> but it doesn't say anything about uninstalling
[04:41] <crizis> Cell, i still recommend just installing "fglrx-updates" package from repositories, works fine
[04:41] <jagginess> Adie, did you try the 'display' settings options in gnome? (or are you trying xorg.conf?)
[04:41] <crizis> Cell, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx there's uninstall instructions
[04:41] <Adie> jagginess, I don't know what you mean
[04:42] <jagginess> Adie, yeah.. it is tricky..
[04:42] <crizis> Cell, after that you can just install ubuntu-shipped "fglrx-updates" package to get newer driver, propely packaged
[04:42] <Adie> all the displays work fine, it's just after a while my middle display shows the mouse in a corrupted way
[04:42] <jagginess> Adie, I have two monitors here.. and it was tricky enough for me :/ (using nvidia)
[04:42] <Cell> hmm you know
[04:42] <Cell> crizis
[04:42] <Cell> In recent years, GNU/Linux desktop graphics has moved from having "a pile of rendering interfaces... all talking to the X server, which is at the center of the universe" towards putting the Linux kernel "in the middle", with "window systems like X and Wayland ... off in the corner". This will be "a much-simplified graphics system offering more flexibility and better performance"
[04:42] <FloodBot1> Cell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:42] <Adie> =]
[04:42] <jagginess> Adie, yeah.. sounds like gnome is acting up somewhere..
[04:42] <Cell> This is moving towards how I thought linux worked
[04:43] <jagginess> Adie, you should file a bug report.. btw does this happen specifically after a while using a program?
[04:43] <jagginess> (a specific program)
[04:43] <Adie> This is not yet a reproducible issue. It is seemingly random so far.
[04:44] <jagginess> Adie, my wildest guess is you can check out any auto-configuration done by evdev related events
[04:44] <jagginess> Adie, (maybe even turn off auto-configuration of input devices for X, but will need to explicitly define them)
[04:45] <jagginess> Adie, this isn't fun, but that's what i'd check out..
[04:45] <Adie> :x
[04:45] <jagginess> Adie, cat ~/.xsession-errors , ?
[04:46] <crizis> Cell, no one really codes "for X" nowadays anyway, everyone develops apps on top of qt/gtk/opengl and X is just an elephant in the corner rendering things on screen :)
[04:46] <Cell> thats what I thought
[04:46] <Cell> it seemed like an outdated architecture
[04:46] <jagginess> Adie, may be relevant, dunno.. so check out for any logs :/
[04:46] <crizis> it's not "outdated"
[04:46] <Cell> having the kernel taking over the graphics is a better idea
[04:46] <Adie> I just threw "cat ~/.xsession-errors" into my terminal, and it's a a lot of text :x
[04:46] <crizis> it's the best networked display server in the world :)
[04:47] <crizis> for single desktops, yes, wayland will be better achitecture
[04:47] <Cell> ^
[04:47] <Cell> This is Ubuntu, after all ;)
[04:47] <crizis> it has very little affection for app devs or users anyway
[04:47] <jagginess> Adie, so look for any lines saying mouse (use the command less to search)
[04:47] <ClientAlive> where's the love?
[04:47] <jagginess> Adie, maybe(just maybe)
[04:48] <Cell> alright brb reinstalled cinnamon, lets see if this works
[04:48] <jagginess> what's happening with wayland, is that becoming part of lightdm?
[04:48] <crizis> jagginess, wayland is a display server (like X), lightdm is a login manager, still :)
[04:49] <ClientAlive> someone here wants to help me make my gnome bad a$$, I just know it...   :)
[04:49] <jagginess> that'll be an interesting boost for gfx, hope it turns out as the future norm for all linux...
[04:49] <Adie> jagginess, http://pastebin.com/M2fxtMZN
[04:49] <Adie> is it unusual to be that big? :/
[04:50] <crizis> jagginess, in practice it won't change anything for either usual app developers or users
[04:52] <jagginess> like the fact they'll finally get rid of the old useless X font system..
[04:52] <jagginess> (i always hated that)
[04:53] <thelanmath> hi
[04:53] <ForSpareParts> How do I add undetected resolutions in xrandr? I don't totally understand the documentation on the wiki
[04:53] <thelanmath> anybody install iPOS on ubuntu ?
[04:54] <jagginess> Adie, yeah.. it's possible an app can be causing that.. just speculative atm.. btw you don't get any "resets" in dmesg<enter> do you? (demsg|grep -i reset)
[04:54] <thelanmath> i have some issues
[04:55]  * jagginess thinks if mousing issue occurs on 3-display KDE desktop, then it cant be the gnome desktop to blame
[04:55] <Adie> :/
[04:55] <Adie> I don't have "demsg"
[04:55] <Adie> ^_^
[04:55] <jagginess> sry.. dmesg :/
[04:55] <Adie> or do I
[04:55] <thelanmath> pls help
[04:56] <thelanmath> IPOS installation
[04:56] <lickalott> what issues?
[04:56] <LiDaR> !patience thelanmath
[04:56] <Adie> jagginess, nothing returned for "reset"
[04:57] <Cell> woohoo I got Cinnamon back by uninstalling the ati stuff
[04:57] <Cell> thanks crizis
[04:57] <Cell> the ATI driver was creating an Xwindows system error which was stopping cinnamon from starting
[04:57] <jagginess> Adie, have you tried using 1 app and it still occurs?
[04:57] <jagginess> Adie, (and not many)
[04:57] <thelanmath> IPOS for ubuntu seems have troule of wine
[04:58] <Adie> hmm?
[04:58] <crizis^> Cell, now, try installing 'fglrx-updates' package for newer ati driver straight from ubuntu repos (this should not mess anything up like manual install might)
[04:58] <King_Cobra> just wondering.. how do i delete unwanted items off of the boot choice list when you first start up your machine?
[04:58] <Cell> ok
[04:58] <jagginess> Adie, (speculating if there's a problematic app "at the time" the mousing issue happens)
[04:59] <Cell> I have to install fglrx first right
[04:59] <LiDaR> Adie: lotuspsychje  had the same issue he enabled nomodeset to fix it
[04:59] <wilee-nilee> King_Cobra, what is unwanted?
[04:59] <ClientAlive> What am I missing/ need to install? The selection in gnome tweak tool for shell extensions has no content in the window when I select it.
[04:59] <crizis^> Cell, no
[05:00] <Adie> :x
[05:00] <Cell> I dont have fglrx installed
[05:00] <crizis^> Cell, 'fgrlx' = 11.8 version of catalyst (iirc), fglrx-updates = currently 12.4 if i don't remember wrong
[05:00] <crizis^> Cell, both can't be installed at same time
[05:00] <Cell> im pretty sure im using the open source drivers right now
[05:00] <King_Cobra> i removed mint but it still is on the list.. all i want on the list is ubuntu and windows 7..
[05:01] <wilee-nilee> King_Cobra, run sudo update-grub in ubuntu
[05:01] <King_Cobra> i did.. still its on the list
[05:02] <Cell> im getting fglrx from the software center now, crizis^
[05:03] <King_Cobra> brb
[05:03] <wilee-nilee> King_Cobra, Did you remove mint from ubuntu and not reload the ubuntu grub to the mbr if mint had control. What ever OS was at the top of grub without any grub modifications had the control.
[05:03] <crizis^> Cell, remember to select the 'fglrx-updates' package instead of 'fglrx'
[05:03] <Cell> ah now I see what you meant, damnit, let me uninstall that fglrx
[05:03] <King_Cobra> ubuntu had control.. still does..
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> King_Cobra, So when you run the update you still see mint listed. Do you have multiple HD's and are you sure mint is gone, as grub is seeing something. And has grub been modified.
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> King_Cobra, please use nicks as well you can tab complete them. ;)
[05:06] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[05:06] <Cell> do I have to restart after installing
[05:06] <King_Cobra> i removed the mint partition, then ran the sudo update-grub, but when i rebooted the computer mint was still on the list..
[05:06] <Cell> it killed my cinnamon panels, so im not sure how i'll be able to
[05:06] <crizis^> lol
[05:06] <crizis^> Cell, ctrl-alt-f5, login, sudo reboot :P
[05:06] <MiteshShah> The following command give me 0  that means my cpu doesn't support kvm? (command egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo)
[05:06] <King_Cobra> one HD..
[05:07] <ShapeShifter499> when my 12.04 system starts up it starts like it glitch but appears to be fine after the password login pops up
[05:07] <Cell> thanks
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> hi LidAR:whats up
[05:08] <ShapeShifter499> is there a way to fix that?  it happens so quickly that its not a bother but still, it doesn't look good
[05:08] <King_Cobra> ill run back through the gparted partitions and see if i missed anything then upgrade-grub then see if that worked.. if not .. im tearing what's left of my hair out..
[05:08] <isacking> Hello, I works on ubuntu 12.04. After connecting Kinect and running glview, I get "Number of devices found: 0". Does anyone know why?
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> jeep: whats up?
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> Adie: you have a square mouse problem?
[05:09] <Adie> lotuspsychje,  not square :<
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> Adie: what seems to be the problem?
[05:10] <Adie> my mouse seems to randomly become corrupted on one of my three screens
[05:10] <Adie> and sticks that way till I restart
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> Adie: you got an older ati card?
[05:10] <Adie> 6970
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> Adie: i got same issue, and be able to get rid of it with nomodeset, but compiz wont work anymore
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> Adie:so im still searching for a fix
[05:12] <jeep> lotuspsychje: how do i look with this name ?
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> jeep:lol
[05:12] <jeep> i even registered it
[05:12] <Adie> :<
[05:12] <Adie> the mouse looks fine in screenshots, lol
[05:13] <Cell> it worked! thanks a lot crizis
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> Adie:so in etc/default/grub add the line nomodeset and it will go away
[05:14] <Adie> I find it weird it's only an issue on one screen ><
[05:19] <L1> Ubuntu/Apache2 I'm setting up a vhost, and have specified the DocumentRoot as "~/projects/mysite", however apache doesn't seem to like "~/" - it's resolving it as "/etc/apache2/~/projects/mysite" - which is the best way to acomplish this? With a full "/home/myname/projects/mysite", or some symlink magic or?
[05:20] <Guddu> I can't find how to create a Shortcut (to open a URL) on my Ubuntu Desktop...Unity Interface has this option somewhere?
[05:22] <wilee-nilee> Guddu, install this sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel  and use this to make a launcher  gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new  you can put a launcher where you like as well
[05:23] <Guddu> wilee-nilee:  I did that. I get a error that my desktop directory does not have a .desktop or .directory suffix.....Now trying to find whats that about in google.
[05:24] <wilee-nilee> Guddu, all you need to do is in the browse hit the browse and navigate to where the app is usually /usr/bin
[05:24] <Guddu> wilee-nilee:  In this case i had to specify escritorio instead of Desktop :=-) Spanish version....Now i do get the launcher
[05:25] <Alex_Bkash> Hi all, I need to make iso from my running os. All installations and the environment too for recurrent installation. Can any one help plz?
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> Guddu, hehe the syntax has to be correct. ;)
[05:25] <Guddu> wilee-nilee:  One more question....How can i create a Shortcut to open a particular Website in Firefox?
[05:26] <wilee-nilee> Guddu, not sure really.
[05:26] <Alex_Bkash> Hi all, I need to make iso from my running os. All installations and the environment too for recurrent installation. Can any one help plz?
[05:27] <Guddu> wilee-nilee:  Just checked...it seems to be "firefox -new-window <WebSiteUrl>"...Now checking
[05:27] <excervo> wilee-nilee, use file -> save page as
[05:36] <anujkk> Hey guys. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on my development machine. I'm looking to put a backup & recovery system in place for it. Which backup solution you guys use? I'm looking for something that will backup all my settings, files and installed packages.
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> anujkk, I use grsync to back up home and clonezilla for the whole OS.
[05:39] <anujkk> wilee-nilee, thanks. I will check both.
[05:40] <wilee-nilee> anujkk, I also save a backup of all repos and a list of the installed apps.
[05:40] <anujkk> How you save the list of installed apps?
[05:43] <wilee-nilee> anujkk, here is a pastebin this can be used to save all and used to reinstall in a new install, or just used as a list.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1186850/
[05:43] <thrasher194> yay new kernel. :D
[05:43] <selite> Wy does Ubuntu overheat?
[05:43] <selite> *Why.
[05:44] <thrasher194> you need better fans.. or clean the ones u got w/ can of compressed air.
[05:44] <thrasher194> ;p
[05:44] <selite> Windows 7 runs smoothly and I can assure that it's not the fans.
[05:45] <blackshirt> what the problems?
[05:45] <jeep> selite: what kind of computer is it
[05:45] <selite> jeep: Sony Vaio.
[05:45] <jeep> selite: what model number
[05:45] <selite> What worries me the most is that there is a huge Linux community and they have still not managed to fix the overheating bug, it's like they close their eyes when people complain.
[05:46] <selite> VPCEB2H4E
[05:46] <blackshirt> selite, for some reason,you maybe meet the problems
[05:46] <blackshirt> For some specific release, not all linux works well with them
[05:47] <selite> I desperately need to use Linux for for algorithms class, however, my laptop fans are going crazy and there doesn't seem that I can do much about it.
[05:48] <jeep> selite: tried this yet ? http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html
[05:48] <selite> No one mentions this serious bug, it's always overlooked even though almost all the Linux versions overheat, I wouldn't mind paying money to fix the issue.
[05:48] <blackshirt> i don't have sony vaio
[05:49] <selite> Yes, I have tried that, I've tried everything that exists on the net, I used Ubuntu for months I coped with the overheating because I had to use it, however, this is unbearable.
[05:49] <selite> All I want is a Linux version that doesn't overheat, why can't I have that?
[05:49] <jeep> selite: you did the patch from sony website ?
[05:50] <blackshirt> selite, what distro have you tried?
[05:50] <selite> I don't think there is a patch from Sony website, I've tried Ubuntu, Mint, Open SUSE, Fedora, and they *ALL* overheat.
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> selite, It is not the version, but your computer I have never had a overheat problem on multiple computers,on any linux install.
[05:51] <blackshirt> looks some sarcastic products :d
[05:51] <karlg> please, I want change my program in default on ubuntu, which change my desktop background
[05:51] <karlg> how do it?
[05:51] <silverarrow> does anyone know the name of something equivalent of cc cleaner ?
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> silverarrow, bleachbit
[05:52] <selite> And yet everyone complains about overheating, isn't that a bit weird.
[05:52] <jeep> selite: check the sony website for a bios update
[05:52] <silverarrow> the subject came up the other night
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> even better than ccleaner
[05:52] <silverarrow> yes, thanks wilee-nilee
[05:52] <blackshirt> silverarrow, you don't need it too much
[05:52] <silverarrow> thats theo one
[05:52] <selite> jeep: There is no BIOS update for my model which is VPCEB2H4E.
[05:52] <selite> If there was a BIOS error, it would have also overheated with Win7, but it does not.
[05:52] <silverarrow> blackshirt, I should not bother?
[05:53] <silverarrow> why would you need bios update?
[05:53] <jeep> selite: thats the wrong train of thought the flaw is the bios
[05:53] <wilee-nilee> selite, Everyone that makes no sense.
[05:53] <jeep> selite: the windows drivers work around it
[05:54] <karlg> please, I want change my program in default on ubuntu, which change my desktop background, how do it?
[05:54] <blackshirt> silverarrow, goes for long try with linux, you would know if you wouldn't need too much
[05:54] <selite> jeep: Then, how do I make Ubuntu work around it too?
[05:54] <blackshirt> karlg, whay do you need, program fro change default background?
[05:54] <silverarrow> blackshirt, I just wanted to keep things tidy
[05:54] <foboi1122> Hi guys, i've got a question about using ufw as my firewall, could anyone give me a hand?
[05:55] <selite> I am sick and tired of Windows7 because it sucks so badly I wanna cry and yet when I try Ubuntu, the fans start going crazy, the laptop starts lagging, panels start disappearing it's like the whole system decomposes.
[05:55] <jeep> selite: http://www.sony-europe.com/support/en/product/VPCEB2H4E/downloads/EP0000228463_5313 fixes fan control
[05:55] <foboi1122> Once I turn on ufw, I instantly lose internet
[05:55] <silverarrow> selite, way worse than windows then?
[05:55] <wilee-nilee> karlg, could you explain that a little more clearly, if it is a language problem there are regional ubuntu channels.
[05:55] <camscam> Hey I just have one quick stupid question and then I will be out of here. My computer hangs at shutdowns and restarts and I found the solution I just don't know how to save the modifications I make in the terminal to the grub lines
[05:56] <camscam> if that makes sense.
[05:56] <silverarrow> selite, heat issues can be horrible though
[05:56] <wilee-nilee> karlg, Backgrounds would be a right click on the desktop then change desktop background
[05:56] <karlg> no, in my gnome-control-center, there is a program in default installed to change my desktop background, but I want to change this program, I want wallch in default
[05:57] <blackshirt> karlg, use gnome-tweak-tool
[05:57] <selite> silverarrow: I know man, Ive struggled so much.
[05:57] <selite> jeep: I did it, so now it wont overheat?
[05:57] <jeep> selite: try it and see
[05:57] <jeep> selite: are you dual booted ?
[05:58] <karlg> wilee-nilee, I want  wallch in default , because it permit me to have many animation in certain period
[05:59] <wilee-nilee> karlg, I'm not familiar with the apps, I would think removing the one not used is the answer.
[05:59] <selite_> jeep: I did the BIOS update, it was probably a useless update.
[05:59] <selite_> Like all the updates that try to 'patch' things up.
[06:00] <wilee-nilee> or look in the apps preferences if there is one.
[06:00] <jeep> selite_: are you on linux now ?
[06:00] <camscam> My computer hangs at shutdowns and restarts and I found the solution I just don't know how to save the modifications I make in the terminal to the grub so I can then update the grub. Any help would be appreciated!
[06:01] <selite_> jeep: On Win7, however, I am installing Ubuntu, even though I know that it will overheat, like it has done repeatedly in the past few months.
[06:01] <wilee-nilee> camscam, what is the solution?
[06:01] <jeep> selite_: im confident in the bios update ;)
[06:02] <wilee-nilee> !pm > camscam
[06:02] <selite_> If the problem is fixed, I will bring you some burgers.
[06:02] <selite_> :D
[06:02] <camscam> WORKAROUND: Type in a terminal:
[06:02] <camscam> sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[06:02] <camscam> find the line:
[06:02] <camscam> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[06:02] <camscam> and change it to:
[06:02] <camscam> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="reboot=pci quiet splash"
[06:02] <FloodBot1> camscam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:02] <jeep> selite_: where are you it might be far drive
[06:02] <wilee-nilee> camscam, please use the channel it is your best help. ;)
[06:02] <camscam> imma tryin! i'll get a hang of the rules.
[06:03] <camscam> i just don't know what he means by save
[06:03] <Logos01> What is the URL for the armel repository of Precise?
[06:03] <Logos01> Is that in ports?
[06:03] <wilee-nilee> camscam, use this command to modify grub then save it and run a grub-update.   gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[06:03] <selite_> Lol.
[06:03] <selite_> Yeah a 10 hour flight.
[06:03] <jeep> selite_: yourin the uk ?
[06:04] <selite_> US.
[06:04] <jeep> oh im in oregon right now 3 day drive max!
[06:04] <analog> Ìû
[06:04] <camscam> i will try it. thank you for your patience!
[06:05] <selite_> Alright, wubi is extracting, I am so excited.
[06:06] <jeep> selite_: i had an acer with faulty bios .. i had to do the install on it with a vacum cleaner to keep it cool and then periodically until i could patch the fan as a workaround until acer updated the bios
[06:06] <selite_> jeep: And then it worked just great?
[06:06] <jeep> selite_: yeah perfect
[06:07] <selite_> Lol, that's funny.
[06:07] <allure> when I browse to my site, I download index.php instead of apache running it...  what could be wrong?
[06:07] <selite_> But I guess you were lucky.
[06:07] <selite_> Alright, it's done I hope it works.
[06:07] <selite_> Brb.
[06:07] <jeep> allure: you need to enable the php
[06:07] <allure> jeep, it is running on every other virtualhost
[06:08] <jeep> allure: a small typo maybe
[06:09] <allure> jeep, its an autoinstall, so I dont think so :(
[06:09] <jeep> allure: did you set the handler ?
[06:09] <camscam> willee-nilee: I get to the grub I change what I need to but I can't execute any new commands afterwards to save or do anything
[06:09] <karlg> please, as far as concerned virtualbox loading, in his versions, which is more practice, open or suse (I'm on ubuntu)?
[06:09] <nagtaop> server hollywood.ca.undernet.org
[06:09] <allure> jeep, what do you mean?
[06:10] <allure> jeep, I'm installing kaltura community edition.. video cms
[06:12] <jeep> allure: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php scrool down to the handler section check your apache config to make sure you have it
[06:12] <allure> jeep, ok, lemme check
[06:12] <jeep> allure: if you have another vhost with it working .. do the phpinfo(); and make sure
[06:12] <allure> jeep, ok :)
[06:13] <jeep> i should do a webserver havent set apache up for like three years
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> Adie:check this similar bug on your prob: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/556782
[06:14] <allure> jeep, others vhost work, just not kaltura's vhost
[06:15] <Adie> hmmm
[06:15] <Adie> not sure
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> Adie: after reboot it also go away for me
[06:15] <jeep> who here remebers manually configuring xfree86 to your crt monitor ?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> jeep:what does xfree86 do?
[06:16] <jeep> lotuspsychje: it was the predecessor to xorg
[06:16] <jeep> lotuspsychje: xorg is a fork() of it
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> jeep: no clue mate :p
[06:17] <wilee-nilee> camscam, I'm not familiar with nano make it easy and use my command to do the same, just close nano.
[06:17] <Adie> lotuspsychje, http://ft.trillian.im/kiyiko/1346825789719339-BVexwRuV.jpg
[06:17] <Adie> that's my issue
[06:18] <Adie> randomly corrupted cursor
[06:18] <jeep> lotuspsychje: i been around a while i was a linux user before ubuntu existed
[06:18] <GeekAdmin> Can someone recommend the best parental software for Ubuntu?
[06:18] <Adie> issue affects only one screen
[06:18] <allure> jeep, can I msg u top send u an url?
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> Adie:thats your mouse pointer?
[06:18] <Adie> yes
[06:18] <allure> to
[06:18] <Adie> it's fine on reboot
[06:18] <jeep> allure: sure
[06:18] <Adie> randomly does that after a while
[06:18] <allure> jeep, that is the conf of the vhost
[06:18] <camscam> wilee-nilee: I got it! It was f2 and this it asked me if I wanted to save. thanks for your help!
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> Adie: i got similar pointer, but more square...also text on folders are corrupted
[06:18] <Adie> no other issues here afaik
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> Adie: do you use compiz?
[06:19] <GeekAdmin> the parental software is for a young child, and need it to block violence or pornographic sites. Any ideas on what the best option is?
[06:19] <Adie> if it's something you "know" you are using if you are, then no
[06:19] <Adie> I am running a pretty much basic ubuntu 12.04
[06:19] <Adie> nothing fancy added to spice it up
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> GeekAdmin: software centre got a few i think
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> Adie: on unity 3d compiz runs by default
[06:19] <GeekAdmin> lotuspsychje:  is there one you recommend or know of that works best though?
[06:20] <lauratika> how can i know what type of memory ddr2 or ddr3 my pc is using
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> Geekadmin: not tested myself no
[06:20] <Adie> this is also not a "reproducible" issue
[06:20] <Adie> it's not like I can change something and confirm it's fixed
[06:20] <Adie> seems rendomly triggered to me
[06:20] <MonkeyDust> GeekAdmin  there's only nanny, but it's buggy, a launchpad bug entry has been submitted
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> Adie: yes there is, but it will disable compiz and run unity 2d
[06:20] <GeekAdmin> MonkeyDust:  yea I see it has bad reviews
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> Adie: you wanna try the nomodeset option?
[06:21] <wilee-nilee> camscam, Cool, just be sure to run a update-grub as well.
[06:21] <Adie> maybe in a bit, I dunno
[06:21] <GeekAdmin> Well thats kindof nuts. I can't believe someone hasnt scripted up parental software for Linux. Especially with edubuntu out. WIsh I was better with programming. :-p
[06:21] <Adie> it would prolly run for hours or days with no issue before this happens again
[06:21] <Adie> I can't trigger it
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> Adie: same here mate
[06:21] <Adie> but it's happened enough to be annoying
[06:22] <lauratika> some one ?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> GeekAdmin:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls
[06:22] <camscam> wilee-nilee: done and done. i'm still trying to grasp this whole terminal thing. pretty interesting. i'm sure i'll be on here again sometime. thanks again. tchuss.
[06:23] <GeekAdmin> lotuspsychje:  thanks.  What about adblocking software for firefox or chrome
[06:23] <wilee-nilee> lauratika, Personally I would just pop the cover of the memory and look or look up the model on the web and replacement ram.
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> lauratika: sudo dmidecode
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> GeekAdmin: ask in #firefox for the nices addons
[06:25] <GeekAdmin> lotuspsychje:  k thanks
[06:26] <lauratika> lotuspsychje thanx

[06:30] <ShapeShifter499> I have a touchpad mouse, if I accidentally or on purpose click the easy to hit "disable touchpad" button to the top-right of the pad my mouse stops working all together even if I click the same button to enable it, anyone know how to fix this?
[06:30] <ShapeShifter499> I have to reboot to fix the issue temporaraly till I hit the button again
[06:30] <ShapeShifter499> temporarily*
[06:30] <silverarrow> my battery has been charging for a long tìme and indicator says "you battery is fully charged 46%". Weird?
[06:31] <karlg> please, as far as concerned virtualbox loading, in his versions, which is more practice, open or suse (I'm on ubuntu)?
[06:31] <thrasher194> while i rebooted for kernel update i cleaned my cpu fan free of dust.
[06:33] <wurmphlegm> Say if a game try's loading, but it doesn't and it leaves a square in the middle of the screen that wont go away, what is a good way to clear it without loggin out?
[06:34] <Filipek> wurmphlegm, sudo xkill
[06:34] <wurmphlegm> yeah ive tried that
[06:34] <Filipek> wurmphlegm, and then clicked on that square?
[06:35] <wurmphlegm> ah it went away!...
[06:35] <wurmphlegm> xkill wouldn't do it, but it went away
[06:35] <Filipek> :-)
[06:35] <Filipek> some X11 hang prolly...
[06:35] <wurmphlegm> thnx
[06:35] <ranveer5289> wurmphlegm: care to share how it went away without using xkill
[06:36] <allure> I would like to thank jeep for his help setting up my apache2 correctly so it works with kaltura video cms now :) thanks, jeep!
[06:36] <jeep> your welcome ! come back again
[06:36] <wurmphlegm> i tried loading another game over the top of it
[06:36] <wurmphlegm> it went away after i quit
[06:36] <ranveer5289> ok
[06:37] <wurmphlegm> even tried xrefresh
[06:38] <ShapeShifter499> anyone know ?
[06:38] <ShapeShifter499> I'll repost my question
[06:38] <ShapeShifter499> **Repost** I have a touchpad mouse, if I accidentally or on purpose click the easy to hit "disable touchpad" button to the top-right of the pad my mouse stops working all together even if I click the same button to enable it, anyone know how to fix this?
[06:39] <ShapeShifter499> Only a reboot fixes this issue
[06:39] <wilee-nilee> !patience > ShapeShifter499
[06:39] <ShapeShifter499> :/
[06:39] <jeep> ShapeShifter499: reloading the module may fix it
[06:39] <ShapeShifter499> jeep, how?
[06:40] <ShapeShifter499> jeep, how do I reload the module?
[06:40] <Wesley0> I installed the compiz config and when I rebooted I was unable to login to my user account. It goes black like it's loading for a few seconds and then returns to login page. Any ideas?
[06:40] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: try unload and than reloading the kernel module using sudo modprobe -r kernel_modile and sudo modprobe kernel_module
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> Wesley0: you tryed unity2D yet?
[06:40] <jeep> ShapeShifter499: lsmod will show currently used ones .. if it screws up modprobe missing-mod
[06:40] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: to get your module use lsmod | grep mouse
[06:41] <Wesley0> lotuspsychje: Yes, I tried 2D and resarting a couple times. And same thing.
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Wesley0: you got an older grafix card?
[06:42] <micah_> lol does anyone know how to get someones facebook/facebook email password?
[06:42] <ranveer5289> micah_: LOL
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> micah_:this is not the chan to ask
[06:42] <Adie> I feel like something just broke in my linux
[06:42] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, and this might fix the broken button?
[06:42] <micah_> oops what channel for that?
[06:42] <Wesley0> lotuspsychje: I believe it is, I'll be honest I'm not sure.
[06:43] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, the broken touchpad disable/re-enable button
[06:43] <Adie> micah_, try ##hardware
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> Wesley0: you can try adding 'nomodeset' to grub to see whats wrong
[06:43] <ranveer5289> ranveer5289: No it will not fix the broken button but I believe you don't have to restart it everytime
[06:43] <micah_> thanks
[06:44] <Wesley0> lotuspsychje: Okay, I could try that. Also, is there a way I could uninstall it from the text based login? I haven't tried that yet because I wanted to ask first.
[06:44] <wurmphlegm> Wesley0: sudo apt-get remove (package name)
[06:44] <silverarrow> what is the difference between shockwave player, and flash player?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> Wesley0:we need to make sure whats happening to our box
[06:45] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, I wonder if I change it so the button will run modprobe -r psmouse (the name of my mouse module) when on and modprobe psmouse when off
[06:45] <ShapeShifter499> that would be a better fix (I think)
[06:45] <silverarrow> sudo apt-get remove all phlegm
[06:46] <ranveer5289> ranveer5289: I don't know if you can map the harware switch like this but you can look into xmodmap
[06:46] <wilee-nilee> silverarrow, https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/faq.html
[06:46] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, do you realize your highlighting yourself?
[06:46] <wurmphlegm> silverarrow: shockwave is for advertisements and stuff
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> Wesley0: sudo gedit etc/default/grub, and add the line nomodeset after 'quiet splash' and sudo update-grub and reboot
[06:46] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: what do you mean
[06:47] <silverarrow> wilee-nilee, thanks,
[06:47] <micah_> anyone know how to get a facebook password?
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> micah_:pls stop that
[06:47] <ranveer5289> micah_: come on
[06:47] <micah_> be helpful come on now
[06:47] <silverarrow> wurmphlegm, thanks, do you think I have it installed?
[06:47] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, I quote:   "<ranveer5289> ranveer5289: I don't know if you can map the harware switch like this but you can look into xmodmap"
[06:47] <Wesley0> lotuspsychje: I'll try that, thank you. I appreciate your help. You too wurmphlegm
[06:47] <wurmphlegm> micah_: it would require a key-logger, but that person would have to be using your computer and logging into facebook
[06:47] <wurmphlegm> np
[06:47] <micah_> ahh damn
[06:47] <awaad> I am trying to access AIX machine from Ubuntu machine through ssh without a password
[06:48] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, thats what showed up on my xchat client
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> !ot | wurmphlegm
[06:48] <awaad> So I created on Ubuntu public and private keys using "ssh-keygen"
[06:48] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: I don't know why that is happening
[06:48] <wurmphlegm> yeah whatever...i was trying to help him leave
[06:48] <awaad> then I used "scp" to copy the public key to that AIX machine in the home directory of the user in .ssh/authorized_keys
[06:49] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, well it fixed itself
[06:49] <awaad> Then I tried to access again using ssh, but it still asks me for a password
[06:49] <ShapeShifter499> seems ok now
[06:49] <awaad> ay one can help ?
[06:49] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: :) No idea
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> !ssh | awaad
[06:50] <awaad> ubottu: Is there some thing wrong in my steps ?
[06:50] <awaad> lotuspsychje: Is there some thing wrong in my steps ?
[06:51] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: If you need to disable your touchpad you can use synclient for that.
[06:51] <wurmphlegm> he's just being annoying
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> awaad: did you read the url? alot of usefull info on there about ssh
[06:53] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, I missed your last post
[06:54] <przemek> !scp
[06:54] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: If you need to disable your touchpad you can use synclient for that.
[06:54] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: try synclient synclient touchpadoff=1
[06:55] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: to disable and than use synclient touchpadoff=0 to re-enable it.
[06:55] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, I don't want to disable it, I like the button to be disabled because I can hit it and if I do I'll have to reboot my system to get my mouse working
[06:55] <ShapeShifter499> again
[06:55] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: so that reloading and unloading worked or not?
[06:56] <ShapeShifter499> it works but how do I run the commands if I can't use my mouse?
[06:56] <ShapeShifter499> I can't even get to terminal
[06:56] <ShapeShifter499> maybe I'll have to have terminal on a keyboard shortcut
[06:57] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: well you can use a keyboard shortcut
[06:57] <awaad> lotuspsychje: I took a look but found no thing helpful
[06:57] <ShapeShifter499> ranveer5289, it bothers me that the button doesn't work like it did on windows
[06:57] <timfrost> awaad: check permissions on the remote directories and file - unless  the remote directory ~user, ~user/.ssh (and parent directories) and file ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys can only be written to by the owner, the remote sshd won't accept the public key
[06:57] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: It happens
[06:58] <ranveer5289> ShapeShifter499: You can also do one thing create a small bash script and bind that script to a keyboard shortcut using xmodmap or xbindkeys
[06:59] <awaad> timfrost: authorized_keys file permission is "rw-r--r--"
[06:59] <awaad> timfrost: .ssh directory permission is "rwx------"
[06:59] <timfrost> !paste | awaad
[07:01] <awaad> timfrost: Sorry for being noisy, but is there any other thing that I can check ?
[07:03] <timfrost> awaad: check the permissions on the remote home directory, and the tree from / to that home directory (ownership doesn't matter but write permissions are critical).  Also, did you copy the public key
[07:04] <quazimodo> guys I have no idea whats going on
[07:05] <noskcaj> so...
[07:05] <quazimodo> but the wireless on my 12.04 install has become ecruciatingly slow
[07:05] <quazimodo> particularly on my home network. On other networks it seems to be ok
[07:05] <quazimodo> think its an ubuntu issue?
[07:05] <noskcaj> does your wifi work at normal speeds on other computerss?
[07:06] <quazimodo> no other computer to check with
[07:06] <quazimodo> i guess thats the next step isnt it
[07:06] <quazimodo> get another pc to confirm
[07:06] <timfrost> awaad: you may also need to check with your server admins, because they may have disabled public-key authentication in the system configuration
[07:06] <noskcaj> yes, unfortuantly until then we cant really help
[07:06] <quazimodo> no probs
[07:07] <awaad> timfrost: I checked the permissions and it's okay. What do you mean by copying the public key? If you mean to ask If I copied the public key from my ubuntu to the AIX in the .ssh directory in the home directory of the user, the answer is yes
[07:09] <timfrost> awaad: as the permissions are correct, and you copied the correct key, the server configuration is the next thing to check
[07:10] <awaad> timfrost: The same server is used to be accessed from other AIX machines using public, private key authentication without any problem, so this means that the configurations of the server are right.

[07:11] <cowok_ganteng> !ubuntu
[07:11] <krababbel> I wanted to install pm-utils I deinstalled before, and now dpkg is stuck at 'status half-configured cpufrequtils:amd64 008-1'
[07:11] <timfrost> awaad: In that case, I am out of ideas, sorry
[07:13] <kcah> here is an ideal ... can i have 2 layers of password for logging into an account?
[07:13] <kcah> prompt once to ask for the 1st password and prompt a 2nd time to ask for another password
[07:13] <awaad> timfrost: Is there any difference in the steps if I am accessing AIX machine from Ubunto machine and if I am accessing AIX machine from Ubuntu machine ?
[07:13] <jrib> awaad: I'd suggest starting over and using ssh-copy-id instead of scp.  If the problem persists, check your server configuration.  If the problem persists, restart the ssh server in debug mode and check what happens (on the server) when you attempt to connect
[07:15] <timfrost> awaad: a thought: at work, I encountered a case where the user home directory, the .ssh directory and/or the .ssh/authorized_keys file did not belong to the correct user.  If any of those cases applied, the keys were rejected
[07:16] <e11bits> Anyone knows why seahorse is asking for a passphrase everytime I log in? And it creates a new login_x entry every time. see http://tinyurl.com/bnnxqpd
[07:18] <e11bits> The problem might be, that my home directory is located on a network drive under AFS?!

[07:23] <quazimodo> any ideas?
[07:23] <quazimodo> ikonia: yes exactly
[07:23] <quazimodo> the performance is competely fucked
[07:23] <quazimodo> :P
[07:23] <ikonia> gartral: kernel level domainname block ?

[07:27] <Guest74773> Hello! I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto an early 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1) I am using the guide and a USB. I got to the part where I need to boot the USB from rEFIt, and rEFIt sees the USB drive as bootable, but selecting it says that there is no bootable media. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 desktop edition Mac.
[07:28] <ikonia> Guest74773: I'd suggest either refit is looking at the wrong device, or the device was not made correctly, and is not therefore bootable
[07:29] <Ben64> Guest74773: is it an intel mac with 64bit support?
[07:29] <Guest74773>  ben64: How can I tell what it is?
[07:29] <Guest74773> Oh, yeah it's an intel mac
[07:29] <Guest74773> Dunno if it has 64bit support, tho
[07:30] <Ben64> i don't really know much about macs, but i'd think they would use 64bit capable cpus
[07:30] <Ben64> anyway, why usb instead of cd?
[07:30] <ikonia> 2011 mac = 64bit
[07:30] <karlg> please, as far as concerned virtualbox loading, in his versions, which is more practice, open or suse (I'm on ubuntu)?
[07:30] <Guest74773> Just because I don't have any CDs in the house at the moment.
[07:30] <Guest74773> Thanks Ikonia.
[07:30] <ikonia> karlg: I'm really sorry, your question doesn't make sense
[07:31] <karlg> ikonia, just help me, i think there is too king of virtualbox, is that true?
[07:31] <Guest74773> Oh. Hold on.
[07:31] <ikonia> karlg: there is an open and a comercial version if that's what you're asking
[07:32] <karlg> ikonia, no exactly, I think there is two king of open version, is that true?
[07:33] <ikonia> karlg: there is an open and comercial version, you can discuss this in #vbox
[07:33] <auronandace> karlg: what language do you speak?
[07:33] <karlg> ok thanks, ikonia.
[07:34] <karlg> auronandace, why do you asking me that?
[07:34] <Ben64> i'd guess french
[07:34] <Guest74773> I used ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso (converted to .img) and rEFIt did not recognize the USB. Then I used ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64+mac.iso and rEFIt recognized the USB but could not boot. The second time, I don't think I did it correctly. Is there a tool to do that from a PC?
[07:34] <auronandace> karlg: your english is not like native english speakers
[07:34] <ikonia> !install | Guest74773
[07:34] <karlg> auronandace, and so?
[07:35] <auronandace> karlg: i just thought it might be easier for you to get help in your own language
[07:36] <karlg> auronandace, you're right, and how can I do ti on chanels?
[07:36] <n3v3rm1nd> hello
[07:37] <ikonia> karlg: there isn't a french #vbox channel on freenode, just talk slowly/clearly in #vbox and people will help
[07:37] <LiDaR> hi n3v3rm1nd
[07:37] <n3v3rm1nd> LiDaR: i need help
[07:37] <n3v3rm1nd> for my ubuntu
[07:37] <LiDaR> n3v3rm1nd: we all do in one way or another just ask your question !
[07:37] <fidel> !ask > n3v3rm1nd
[07:37] <n3v3rm1nd> ok

[07:39] <n3v3rm1nd> i install vpn-server in my ubuntu but not started correctly and i remove after remove pptpd i dont have a /etc/pptpd.conf and /etc/ ppp* folder
[07:42] <karlg> which commands can I use to download (only, not install) programs with, especially with apt-get
[07:42] <ebs512> does anyone have a guide for setting up Gnome on ubuntu 12.04, I already have Gnome installed, it just annoys me that the only button on the top bar is applications
[07:43] <ikonia> ebs512: can you define what you mean by "gnome" unity is built on gnome, so what do you want to change
[07:43] <ikonia> karlg: apt-get -d
[07:43] <ikonia> karlg: man apt-get for all options
[07:44] <ebs512> ikonia, I have 2 branches to login to( actually more) Ubuntu, which I am using currently, Gnome, Gnome Classic, and Ubuntu2D, when I login to Gnome, the only selection on top is Applications
[07:44] <skpl^> ebs512: http://extensions.gnome.org
[07:44] <ikonia> ebs512: when you launch gnome - is it launching unity on gnome, or something else on gnome ?
[07:45] <ebs512> unity is not launched when logged into Gnome
[07:45] <n3v3rm1nd> i have a ubuntu 10.10 need this 2 files /etc/pptpd.conf and ppp folder cant you send me to my email.
[07:45] <ikonia> ebs512: ok, so is gnome-shell launched ?
[07:45] <auronandace> !10.10 | n3v3rm1nd
[07:46] <auronandace> ikonia: i think he is expecting gnome3 to looke like gnome2
[07:46] <ebs512> how can I tell? The unity launcher isnt launched but only Docky really shows up
[07:46] <n3v3rm1nd> yes old version
[07:46] <n3v3rm1nd> not need update
[07:46] <bolosaur> ive got a computer at home that uses an iPhone as modem
[07:46] <bolosaur> but apparently its got a whole lot of ports blocked, including 5900
[07:46] <ebs512> no top bar, no bottom bar just applications in the upper left hand corner and my desktop icons
[07:47] <bolosaur> is there any way to check which ports are open in ubuntu, so that i can set up VNC?
[07:47] <n3v3rm1nd> pleace send me this 2 files
[07:47] <bolosaur> (to clarify, the ports are blocked by the iphone)
[07:47] <n3v3rm1nd> pptpd.conf and ppp folder
[07:48] <karlg> ikonia, apt-get -d what?
[07:48] <karlg> ikonia, apt-get -d nameofpackage?
[07:48] <ikonia> karlg: come on .....what do you think, package name
[07:48] <ikonia> karlg: man apt-get
[07:49] <auronandace> n3v3rm1nd: 10.10 is no longer supported
[07:49] <n3v3rm1nd> ok give me file last version
[07:50] <auronandace> n3v3rm1nd: use a supported release
[07:50] <ikonia> you can't mix versions like that
[07:50] <n3v3rm1nd> after sudo apt-get install pptp
[07:51] <n3v3rm1nd> all installed
[07:51] <n3v3rm1nd> and not have a pptpd.conf and ppp folder
[07:52] <auronandace> n3v3rm1nd: you are using an unsupported release, we can't help you
[07:53] <auronandace> n3v3rm1nd: you need to use a supported release if you want support in this channel
[07:53] <n3v3rm1nd> ok
[07:53] <n3v3rm1nd> how to configure my vpn
[07:53] <skpl^> hehe.
[07:55] <n3v3rm1nd> what is this error

[07:57] <n3v3rm1nd> help me private messeges
[07:59] <negev> hi, is there a way to make apt automatically update all packages which are a) not the kernel and b) require no user interaction to upgrade?
[08:07] <ubuntumbp> hi
[08:07] <ubuntumbp> how can i get ubuntu on my MacBookPro9,2? iv'e got it to boot with noapic but the keyboard/trackpad doesn't work
[08:08] <ikonia> !mac
[08:08] <ikonia> ubuntumbp: check out the basics on there, get the basics covered off first
[08:08] <Onnonymous> negev: Why would you not upgrade the kernel? It's perhaps the most important item to upgrade.
[08:08] <ikonia> Onnonymous: because not everyone wants to reboot all the time
[08:11] <Guest74773> If a version of ubuntu is not listed macbook pro community documentation as being compatible, does that mean it is incompatible or just untested?
[08:11] <ikonia> most likely untested
[08:11] <Guest74773> Alright.
[08:12] <ikonia> the mac "buzz" has only recently been ackowledged
[08:12] <Guest74773> I don't want to use like version 10 or whatever.
[08:12] <ikonia> Guest74773: what version are you using ?
[08:12] <Guest74773> I'm wanting to install 12.04
[08:12] <ikonia> Guest74773: the later the version the more likely/better the support will be
[08:12] <Guest74773> But it lists 11 for my model.
[08:12] <Guest74773> Yeah, I figured as much.
[08:13] <Guest74773> I guess I could stay up to install this. *yawn*
[08:13] <T3X> my ubuntu server booting on busybox how do i get rid of it?
[08:13] <oldeagle> I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 in dual boot with W7. Now I want to make the Ubuntu partition larger, and thw W7 one much smaller (than I originally selected when installung U). Can I do this from within Ubuntu?
[08:14] <Guest74773> Oh, is there any reason why I shouldn't be using an iPod as a USB to install Ubuntu? Or is that fine? It's an 8gig iPod and I reformatted it and everything
[08:14] <ikonia> oldeagle: you'll need to do this from live media (a live CD) as the partitions will be in use
[08:14] <ikonia> Guest74773: as a usb device......I can't see a problem, but then it's apple with funky firmware and stuff, so I wouldn't use it if I could use a regular device
[08:15] <oldeagle> ikonia, do you know what program I should use?
[08:15] <bolosaur> Is it possible to somehow control Ubuntu with a gamepad?
[08:15] <Guest74773> I've had success with it before, so I'll give it a try!
[08:15] <ikonia> gparted is a good tool
[08:15] <ikonia> bolosaur: you can hook up Wii and PS3 controllers, (xbox360 too, but I've not done that) if you configure them as input devices within Xorg, yes
[08:15] <oldeagle> ikonia, ok. Will try. Thanks!
[08:16] <bolosaur> ikonia: what would they control though
[08:16] <bolosaur> if set as input devices
[08:16] <bolosaur> the mouse cursor?
[08:16] <ikonia> the mouse pointer, cursor focus, whatever you set them up as
[08:16] <bolosaur> ah
[08:16] <Guest74773> XBOX360 shouldn't be hard if you have a USB XBOX360 controller.
[08:17] <bolosaur> hm, maybe a better idea would be to VNC to this gaming setup
[08:17] <bolosaur> and start the games from there
[08:17] <ikonia> running games over remote desktop = lag/bad redraw rates, lack of acceleration, however its up to you what you do
[08:17] <bolosaur> nah ikonia
[08:17] <bolosaur> just for booting the games
[08:18] <bolosaur> id still have the gaming comp hooked up to a tv
[08:18] <bolosaur> :D
[08:18] <bolosaur> i mean that would work, right?
[08:18] <ikonia> why do you need to vnc to a machine to start a game ?
[08:18] <ikonia> why can you not start the game from the display you are using ?
[08:18] <bolosaur> because its tucked in under my tv
[08:18] <bolosaur> its a laptop
[08:18] <bolosaur> with two controllers sticking out of its container
[08:18] <ikonia> bolosaur: so you still have a screen (to play the games on) why are you not using that screen ?
[08:19] <bolosaur> because i still need to be able to boot/manage the games
[08:19] <bolosaur> on the laptop
[08:19] <bolosaur> and i figured it'd be nice to not have to use a wireless keyboard/mouse
[08:20] <ikonia> bolosaur: why do you not manage the games from the screen you are using to play the games
[08:20] <bolosaur> because its not a touch screen? :p
[08:20] <RORO588> ikonia
[08:20] <bolosaur> i still need some kind of controller
[08:20] <RORO588> can you help me
[08:20] <bolosaur> for the OS itself
[08:20] <ikonia> bolosaur: so use a mouse,
[08:20] <ikonia> RORO588: you need to ask a question
[08:20] <RORO588> private
[08:20] <ikonia> what ?
[08:21] <bolosaur> well, my tv already has tons of stuff hooked up to it. im trying to get away with not having any visible peripherals for this ubuntu gaming laptop
[08:21] <bolosaur> save for two controllers
[08:21] <ikonia> do what ever you want then
[08:21] <bolosaur> yeah like
[08:22] <bolosaur> im considering three things right now; 1) VNCing to the computer (since i always have a laptop nearby) 2) controlling ubuntu with a gamepad (if that's not too hard) or 3) having a wireless keyboard and mouse
[08:22] <bolosaur> i couldnt get VNC to work yesterday though because it uses an iphone as modem/source of internet and for some reason port 5900 is blocked
[08:23] <bolosaur> and yes, i do have a ghetto setup. no need to mention it. ;P
[08:23] <RORO430> ikonia
[08:23] <RORO430> i ask here
[08:23] <RORO430> i need 2 files
[08:23] <Guest74773> Bolo that's kind of hilarious.
[08:24] <RORO430> pptpd.comf and ppp folder
[08:24] <RORO430> sned me in email
[08:24] <bolosaur> Guest74773: how so :)
[08:24] <bolosaur> it actually looks great
[08:24] <ikonia> RORO430: you asked as n3v3rm1nd earlier and where told the answer
[08:24] <ikonia> RORO430: youd distro is unsupported.
[08:24] <Guest74773> Just the absurdity of the whole setup. But if it works, more power to ya.
[08:24] <RORO430> omg
[08:25] <RORO430> fucking idionts
[08:25] <RORO430> bye
[08:25] <Kartagis> !find snmpget
[08:26] <bolosaur> Guest74773: I agree that it's absurd, but my philosophy is that I want as much functionality/as many devices as possible without having to do any initial setting up before using them. Like, I don't want to have to mess around with cables and stuff in order to use devices.
[08:26] <bolosaur> So right now I have a ghetto WiFi consisting of an Ubuntu laptop using an iPhone as internet source, which is subsequently shared to all other nearby devices. In addition, it also shares internet via LAN to my Xbox since I don't have a WiFi peripheral for it.
[08:26] <bolosaur> however, i'd like for this laptop to double as an emulator gaming console
[08:27] <bolosaur> so right now im trying to find the best solution for that that also won't require me to mess around with anything prior to playing
[08:27] <bolosaur> beyond just booting the game :D
[08:27] <Guest74773> Haha. I'd just get a cheap computer for that
[08:27] <bolosaur> well isnt that what i have already? ;)
[08:28] <Guest74773> Oh... right!
[08:28] <bolosaur> but maybe ikonia is right. perhaps a mouse would be the easiest
[08:28] <bolosaur> using*
[08:28] <Guest74773> Well at least get a proper router! lol
[08:28] <bolosaur> Haha.
[08:28] <Guest74773> Oh, you could use a joystick instead of a mouse
[08:28] <bolosaur> Oh, good idea.
[08:28] <Guest74773> like a simple 2 button joystick
[08:28] <bolosaur> that'd be awesome.
[08:29] <ebs512> thank you for the extension whoever linked me
[08:29] <bolosaur> Actually, maybe I can VNC to it via Bluetooth. Would that be possible?
[08:29] <Guest74773> Yeah :) and it would also function in gaming, too!
[08:29] <bolosaur> awesome
[08:29] <bolosaur> :D
[08:30] <bolosaur> well you people have given me some neat ideas
[08:30] <hmf> hello
[08:30] <bolosaur> so thanks
[08:30] <Guest74773> VNC via Bluetooth, eh?
[08:30] <karlg> ikonia, gnome-tweak-tool do not resolve my problem! I have wallch program which  make animations in my desktop's background, but the default program installed  (to manage my desktop background) on my ubuntu do not do it.
[08:31] <bolosaur> Guest74773: isnt that possible?
[08:31] <bolosaur> i mean, cant you route an internal IP to the bluetooth devices somehow?
[08:31] <bolosaur> and then connect to that IP+
[08:31] <karlg> I want to change my default program into wallch, that's my goal.
[08:31] <bolosaur> ?*
[08:31] <bolosaur> er, route a local IP address to the bluetooth connection*
[08:32] <Guest74773> Yeah... but
[08:32] <Guest74773> why bother?
[08:32] <bolosaur> because then i wont need any extra peripherals for my gaming laptop, which is tucked away out of sight
[08:32] <Guest74773> I mean all you REALLY need to do is have the laptop go to the TV, and then use bluetooth for the controllers... right?
[08:32] <ikonia> karlg: no-one said anything about gnome-twweak-tool - you asked about vbox
[08:32] <bolosaur> Guest74773: yeah but i still need something to manage the OS with
[08:32] <ikonia> karlg: I cannot talk to you if you expect answers to questions you've not ased
[08:32] <ikonia> asked
[08:33] <Guest74773> What do you mean? Use a bluetooth keyboard and an arcade stick.
[08:33] <karlg> later I ask questions about it , before talk about vbox, excuse me if it were not you
[08:33] <hmf> Hello is there a way to rename my machine name? thx
[08:33] <bolosaur> Well, that's not a bad solution. But it would be even better if I didn't have to use anything but the gamepads.
[08:34] <bolosaur> so i'm trying to find a way to do that
[08:34] <Guest74773> Yeah but u cant type anything
[08:35] <hmf> I named it after the model of the laptop not the correct thing to do.
[08:35] <Guest74773> I mean i GUESS you could use the onscreen keyboard exclusively
[08:35] <karlg> ok, I remember, it was someone like blackshirt...
[08:35] <Guest74773> since you wont need it much
[08:35] <bolosaur> Guest74773: well if I use VNC, i can easily control it for the moment
[08:35] <ebs512> what are the alternative apps for conky? other system monitors for the desktop?
[08:35] <bolosaur> i have a small macbook air 11"
[08:35] <bolosaur> so i could just keep it on the table and control the machine with it
[08:36] <hmf> it should be the mobo model number for the name
[08:36] <Guest74773> Yeah very true.
[08:36] <karlg> ikonia, can you still help for my question?
[08:36] <Guest74773> Uhm
[08:36] <Guest74773> what OS is the gaming laptop hybrid running?
[08:36] <ikonia> karlg: I don't know what the question is, you just said gnome-tweeak-tool doesn't help
[08:36] <hmf> xo
[08:37] <bolosaur> Guest74773: Ubuntu.
[08:37] <karlg> ikonia, I have wallch program which  make animations in my desktop's background, but the default program installed  (to manage my desktop background) on my ubuntu do not do it.  I want to change my default program in wallch.
[08:37] <bolosaur> :)
[08:37] <Sebastien> Available on: http://chanstats.irczone.net/ubuntu.freenode.html
[08:37] <Sebastien> oh shit
[08:37] <Sebastien> wrong button
[08:37] <Sebastien> sorry
[08:37] <FloodBot1> Sebastien: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:38] <hmf> can ya rename your device name in Ubuntu
[08:38] <ikonia> karlg: no idea how to set that up, I'd have to research
[08:38] <karlg> ok, thanks
[08:38] <Guest74773> Try and find a Mac to Ubuntu program that will let you do remote management
[08:38] <Guest74773> then you can just go directly over the local network, right?
[08:38] <bolosaur> I have an OSX app called Screens, which apparently allows VNC connections.
[08:39] <Guest74773> Hmmm.
[08:39] <bolosaur> Also, the laptop doesn't have WiFi, so LAN is not possible. :P
[08:39] <bolosaur> I'd have to go through bluetooth or the iphone connection
[08:39] <Guest74773> I've only ever used Apple Remote Desktop Connection, but I think that's Mac only.
[08:39] <Guest74773> Wow... I don't even...
[08:39] <bolosaur> and the iphone blocks port 5900 apparently
[08:39] <bolosaur> so im gonna use a BT dongle and connect through there i think
[08:39] <bolosaur> haha hey, don't knock my awesome ghetto setup ;)
[08:40] <Guest74773> Can't you just change the port it uses?
[08:40] <bolosaur> i dont know. i tried using VINO yesterday
[08:40] <bolosaur> but it didnt let me select any ports
[08:40] <Guest74773> Hmmmm.
[08:41] <bolosaur> i think a BT connection would be best
[08:41] <bolosaur> that way i can find a use for my old BT dongle too ;D
[08:41] <bolosaur> I have to give credit to Ubuntu though, I tried doing a similar setup maybe 1-2 years ago and
[08:41] <bolosaur> it just totally broke the system
[08:42] <bolosaur> i had to do a lot of under-the-hood stuff
[08:42] <bolosaur> now its all automated and/or done via GUI
[08:42] <bolosaur> and works flawlessly
[08:42] <Guest74773> Hahaha wow. That sounds like a nightmare.
[08:42] <bolosaur> in fact, i tried doing it on the very same laptop before, and it couldnt even maintain a connection!
[08:42] <bolosaur> now it all works perfectly fine
[08:42] <karlg> please,  I have wallch program which  make animations in my desktop's background, but the default program installed  (to manage my desktop background) on my ubuntu do not do it.  I want to change my default program in wallch.
[08:42] <bolosaur> yeah, it was a nightmare
[08:42] <bolosaur> lost a lot of data because all communication devices on the computer broke
[08:42] <bolosaur> so i couldnt get my data off of it :(
[08:43] <compdoc> if I access a server remotely with vnc, or access a VM guest with vnc or rdp, how important is the video card in the server to speed that up?
[08:44] <Guest74773> I want to get this working so badly, but I might have to stop.
[08:44] <Guest74773> I don't want to be up all night
[08:45] <bolosaur> Hah.
[08:45] <bolosaur> Sleep tight then. :D
[08:45] <bolosaur> And thanks everyone for the input.
[08:45] <fortuna> Hi, I installed Ubuntu on a Advantech PC, I'd like to install touchscreen driver can anyone please help me?

[08:52] <bolosaur> haha hmf, i looked that up just yesterday
[08:53] <hmf> compdoc: I name it after the motherboard manfacture and model

[08:56] <g00se> Am i right in thinking that Ubunta has a non-dedicated-partition install option?
[08:56] <g00se> s/Ubunta/Ubuntu
[08:56] <hmf> actually, HMF-AcerJE51-DN  thxs:)
[08:57] <MasterOfDisaster> g00se: you need a seperate partition for a traditional (ubuntu) linux installation
[08:58] <MasterOfDisaster> g00se: there is the option of using wubi - I never tried this though
[08:58] <MasterOfDisaster> g00se: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[08:58] <g00se> Thanks
[08:59] <Guest74773> Wubi is amazingly  simple.
[08:59] <MasterOfDisaster> Simplicity doesn't imply effectiveness :P
[08:59] <bread> no ideas?
[09:01] <Guest74773> Yeah I hate that you can't go over 30 gigs.
[09:02] <g00se> 30 gigs of disk space?
[09:05] <Guest74773> Yeah you can only make a 30 gig partition with Wubi, I think.

[09:58] <zetheroo> seems like the weather forecast is no longer working with the weather indicator
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> zetheroo  idd, noticed it too
[09:58] <dr_willis> the weather has been cancled.
[09:59] <zetheroo> "Forecast information cannot be fetched. Connection cannot be established."
[09:59] <Fudge> loL dr_willis
[09:59] <MonkeyDust> the weather has been patented by MS
[09:59] <zetheroo> there is no more weather :P
[09:59] <dr_willis> sounds like the seevice is down
[09:59] <zetheroo> well it's been like this for quite a while now - weeks
[10:00] <dr_willis> and legally you must sign a eula to use the 'window' to look at the weather
[10:00] <k1l> zetheroo: here too. i saw a bug report for it. but no solution
[10:00] <zetheroo> dr_willis: what if I forge my own "window" ?
[10:00] <zetheroo> :D
[10:00] <dr_willis> zetheroo:  then you get sued by apple.
[10:00] <fortuna> Hi, I'd like to install touchscreen driver on my Ubuntu, Can anyone please guide me?
[10:01] <zetheroo> k1l: strange that something like this would just break without anyone knowing why ..
[10:01] <dr_willis> it would be nice to have a weather map on the login screen ;)

[10:03] <Meris> Fudge, beware. Unity-2D is phased out in 12.10!
[10:03] <AdvoWork> MonkeyDust, can i specify how much bandwidth to use somehow?
[10:03] <dr_willis> Meris:  its being obsoleted/redundant...
[10:04] <dr_willis> most people wont even notice its gone
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  no, never had bandwidth issues myself
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  no = i dunno
[10:06] <Meris> dr_willis, I have seen lots of complaints against this decision, especially from people that had poor GPU's / high demand for permance. People fear that the llvpipe will hog CPU resources.
[10:06] <Meris> dr_willis: permance => performance
[10:06] <dr_willis> we will have to wait and see.
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> Meris  this is not the channel for discussion
[10:06] <pyrrhic> dr_willis, what is XMLlite?
[10:07] <Meris> MonkeyDust, merely reacting on dr_willis, I won' t pursue it any further, don' t worry.

[10:21] <Meris> Anomie21, if you have tried all the workarounds on the Ubuntu forums and AskUbuntu related to this and it still doesn' t work, it' s time to search for a posted bug on launchpad with this topic. if it does not exist yet, file it.

[11:01] <Anomie21> How do I force an uninstall of that perl (do I need it?)
[11:01] <bismay> can I hide desktop icon names in ubuntu 11.04??
[11:02] <MonkeyDust> is 11.04 supported?
[11:03] <MonkeyDust> ah, idd, it is
[11:03] <Robr3rd> I am having a problem with Quicklists in Ubuntu 12.04 w/ Unity. For the "Home Folder"/Nautilus launcher, when I try to use any of the auto-generated Quicklists, nothing happens.

[11:07] <mevvis> d&d
thanks..:)
[11:08] <Sidewinder1> bismay, But, you'll need to update to 11.10; then 12.04 as 11.04 was/is not an LTS and 12.04 is an LTS.
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> !upgrade > bismay
[11:10] <Sidewinder1> bismay, Either that or back up data and clean install 12.04.
[11:10] <pyrrhic> I really wish someone would reply in the #winehq -_______________--
[11:11] <bismay> back up and install seems to be a good  idea

[11:14] <pyrrhic> MonkeyDust, you're a smart guy. care to help me? I'm obviously desperate for help. I've been here for like 3 days..
[11:14] <fidel> pyrrhic: try to always ask the channel ...not a single user ;)
[11:15] <pyrrhic> fidel: Good point. I'm just stuck in the same place for excessive periods and flustered.
[11:15] <wolfric> bit of an odd issue, when i tail -F /var/log/syslog on the live cd, it doesn't keep outputting o.O
[11:15] <fidel> !details > pyrrhic
[11:15] <Sidewinder1> pyrrhic, And, please keep in mind that not everyone uses wine. :(
[11:16] <wolfric> if i do tail /var/log/syslog a number of times i can SEE more content being added but if i -F or -f , it gets the intial tail and then stops and no more messages
[11:16] <wolfric> even if i do echo test >> /var/log/syslog etc definitely nothing comes out the tail -F
[11:18] <pyrrhic> fidel, I've followed some steps on the appdb regarding TERA Online ; running via WINE. It's rated silver. So it's at least able to be ran. I have 3D Rendering and the alike enabled. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. The game is fully patched and won't get past the login screen. It acts as if I'm behind a firewall. I ran the game through VirtualBox on Windows 7 and it says it can't be ran inside a VM.
[11:19] <fidel> pyrrhic: now you replaced one name by another ...moo. Sounds like a topic for the wine channel or mailinglist anyway
[11:19] <fidel> good luck
[11:19] <ebs512> anyone familiar with conky? is there any other styles than the circles?
[11:19] <wolfric> also the inode isn't changing

[11:22] <MonkeyDust> ebs512  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky
[11:22] <fidel> ebs512: there are tons of example configs for conky in the web
[11:22] <fidel> considered checking some 'best of' threads?
[11:22] <fidel> ebs512: in short: yes there are morel ooks then circles

[11:24] <MonkeyDust> pyrrhic  same here, i'm not familiar enough with wine
[11:24] <pyrrhic> fidel: I don't know what the mailing list is. And I've been waiting for help in the Wine Channel for about 4 days now. I'm not trying to come off strongly, I'd just hope to get some help in a timely manner for a community driven issue.

[11:43] <Night-hacks> Is it possible to degrade firefox ?
[11:44] <baizon> why want you do that?
[11:44] <fidel> Night-hacks: what do you mean by degrade? downgrading?
[11:44] <Night-hacks> fidel: yes
[11:45] <Night-hacks> firefox 15 sucks
[11:45] <Night-hacks> i want to downgrade to 14
[11:45] <crizis> what "sucks" about it?
[11:45] <Night-hacks> crizis: it freezes about a minute or two
[11:46] <fidel> Night-hacks: well 'apt-cache policy firefox' will tell you what versions your current apt-sources can offer. most likely only 15.
[11:46] <crizis> and no, you can't downgrade, mozilla doesn't support point releases anymore
[11:46] <fidel> Night-hacks: and v15 should be furthermore fix several memory-issues
[11:46] <tiredbones> I'm getting ready to install vista along with ubuntu. How can I determine what driver(s) I need. I built my pc about 4 years ago.
[11:46] <wutix> Wait what? You can't  use the version of firefox you want?
[11:46] <crizis> Night-hacks, what about finding out why it does that instead of going rage-downgrading?
[11:46] <wutix> What you guys talking about?
[11:46] <crizis> Night-hacks, like, checking extensions for starters

[11:54] <martin-fletcher> any ideas on where to start with this?
[11:55] <Guest12177> baizon, The problem I've run into is that every time I turn off the monitor a kernel module I've removed is added back in again. This causes my 360 controller to turn off and the buttons I've set up to be disabled.
[11:55] <serdan> WHY DONT U ANSWER!
[11:55] <LjL> !ot | serdan
[11:55] <serdan> omg
[11:55] <serdan> do you hear me
[11:55] <Guest12177> baizon, I suppose I could blacklist the driver, but why the hell does Ubuntu know the monitor is off in the first place, and why would do things based on it?
[11:56] <baizon> Guest12177: its for powersaving :)
[11:56] <Guest12177> baizon, I've turned all power savings off. All that's possible, anyway.
[11:56] <martin-fletcher> anyone?
[11:56] <baizon> Guest12177: it could be a kernel feature :)
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> martin-fletcher  there's this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows and this http://linuxinexile.blogspot.be/2010/06/moving-to-linux.html
[11:57] <Guest12177> baizon, I suppose it might not know that the USB joystick is in use and cut it off, and then load up the default module when the monitor goes on again. That makes sense, I guess?
[11:58] <baizon> indeed
[11:59] <Guest12177> Well, that's sad. But thanks!

[13:39] <froward> I just ran a script, it didn't seem to do anything. What should I do? is there a task manager I can open to see if the script is stillr unning in the background?
[13:40] <krababbel> Afdal: maybe look into kernel log, or syslog
[13:40] <Afdal> How do I do that?
[13:40] <wolfric> wow that's odd.. it suddenly started working o.O
[13:40] <krababbel> Afdal: sudo less /var/log/boot.log for example, or nano
[13:40] <Afdal> I'm on a live CD boot right now
[13:41] <TheLordOfTime> froward:  "full charge" doesn't necessarily mean its at 100% of its rated capacity, the battery on this system is at 40% capacity, but it can only hold 40% of its charge (old)
[13:41] <TheLordOfTime> (for battery stuff)
[13:44] <froward> if I double-click a launcher icon, all windows of that type are made visible on the screen, at the same time. Is there a way to do this for ALL open windows, a little like mac expose?
[13:45] <krababbel> Afdal: Check the md5 sum of the iso you downloaded.
[13:45] <Afdal> did that before
[13:45] <Afdal> It's fine
[13:45] <froward> my laptop's volume up/down/mute keys seem to have a delay of ~30s. is there a way to fix that?
[13:45] <froward> it's really fucking annoying.

[13:46] <ska> I can't get Wake-on-Lan to work on RTL8111/8168B, despite using the newest DKMS driver. Anyone else solve this?

[13:48] <ebs512> I tried adding the other in the script and it was still doing the same thing
[13:48] <ThinkT510> !chroot | Afdal
[13:48] <Afdal> <.<
[13:48] <krababbel> Afdal: I see, no idea either, but on live cd you should still be able to read the partition and the boot log?
[13:48] <Afdal> probably?
[13:49] <krababbel> Afdal: you did install ubuntu, didn't you?
[13:49] <Afdal> xubuntu
[13:49] <ghostnik11> my resolution is stuck at 640 x 480 and i have edited xorg.conf and restarted x and still i am stuck at 640 x 480. how can i fix this issue?
[13:49] <Afdal> Oh I think I need to enable dmraid first to mount this partition
[13:49] <Afdal> what's the command for that on a live cd
[13:52] <Afdal> no wait I guess I don't need to do that
[13:52] <Afdal> Why can't I seem to mount this partition then...
[13:54] <Budd> My laptop is setting a ton of IPv6 routes (one per connection, it seems), which are all redundant with the default route. Is this normal?
[13:54] <Budd> Also, my laptop sets a default route (from radvd messages) that's a link-local address; I'd expect it to use the global one (though I'm not sure it matters)
[13:55] <froward> sometimes I'll tell something to open, and nothing happens. So I'll click it again or hit enter. Then suddenly TEN OF THEM WILL OPEN
[13:55] <froward> This is annoying.
[13:55] <froward> Please fix this.
[13:55] <froward> Maybe I just have to be patient. I dunno.

[14:03] <hex20dec> Hi, I'm new to linux, and I was wondering why is it that when I launch an application from cli, I can't use that terminal afterwards? I can only use it if I close the app or hit ctrl+c.
[14:03] <hex20dec> Is there a way to launch the app and for it to not be associated with that terminal?
[14:05] <flametai1> Does anybody know whether or not Wcid has problems connecting to networks that use WEP as security?
[14:05] <ThinkT510> hex20dec: nameofapp &
[14:05] <hfic> hex20dec, use & symbol at the end of command
[14:05] <hex20dec> Thanks hfic, ThinkT510
[14:06] <ThinkT510> hex20dec: also, you can launch as many terminals as you like
[14:06] <flametai1> Or does nobody use Wcid? lol[
[14:06] <hex20dec> ThinkT510: I know that.
[14:06] <ThinkT510> !wep | flametai1
[14:07] <hex20dec> ThinkT510: But it was annoying, because if I would launch an app from the terminal, and then close the terminal by accident, the app would close too.
[14:07] <hex20dec> Which is very annoying.
[14:07] <froward> he didn't ask for help setting up a network, he asked for help connecting >_>
[14:07] <froward> dick.
[14:07] <froward> and dang, the BOT is being a dick.
[14:08] <flametai1> ThinkT510, Thank you I know, but does Wcid have trouble connecting to it do you know of? I was using a Linux distro that uses Wcid and it won't connect to my home network and run properly, yet I connected to my phone using Wireless tether that uses a WPA2 and it ran just fine, would this be due to Wcid do you know?
[14:09] <ThinkT510> flametai1: no idea sorry, haven't used wicd since zenwalk
[14:09] <ThinkT510> flametai1: any reason you are using wep?
[14:09] <mneptok> flametai1: questions about other Linux distros are offtopic.
[14:09] <hfic> loved zenwalk
[14:10] <flametai1> ThinkT510: I live in a very low tech area, so WEP really doesn't bother me that much, I probably will switch to WPA2 where I believe WCid has troubles connecting to WEP.
[14:11] <ThinkT510> flametai1: if you don't have to use wep then seriously consider switching to wpa
[14:11] <Bhavesh> Can I install Ubuntu on my 8GB pen drive by installing its setup on another pen drive and then selecting the 8GB pen drive as the install destination with use entire disk?
[14:11] <flametai1> mneptok: I use various distros, and might use WCid for Ubuntu later down the road, so I don't see where the "off topic" part really comes in, it is a related question to any distro.
[14:12] <hex20dec> ThinkT510: Where can I read about those kinds of commands, like &, |, > etc.
[14:12] <flametai1> ThinkT510: I more than likely tonight, thank you for the info.
[14:12] <flametai1> will tonight*
[14:12] <hex20dec> ThinkT510: And what are they called?
[14:12] <ThinkT510> !terminal | hex20dec
[14:12] <cfhowlett> Bhavesh: startup disk creator ...
[14:12] <benbergman> is there a way to check when i unlocked my computer this morning?
[14:13] <ThinkT510> hex20dec: #bash could help you out more i reckon
[14:13] <hex20dec> Will try #bash, thanks ThinkT510
[14:13] <ThinkT510> hex20dec: no worries :)
[14:14] <Bhavesh> cfhowlett: I use live boot currently but ubuntu 12.04 takes 5 to 8 minutes to boot from my pen drive
[14:14] <Bhavesh> cfhowlett: so, I think I should install it on my pen drive rather than live booting it everytime.
[14:15] <cfhowlett> Bhavesh: seems like a long time ...perhaps with a lighter distro it'd run faster.  x/l/ubuntu are options.
[14:16] <Bhavesh> cfhowlett: I want to use it at my college where every pc is ubuntu 10.04 LTS about 300 of them. But the problem is.. I don't get to access root.
[14:16] <Bhavesh> cfhowlett: so the question is... can I directly install ubuntu 12.04 on my pen drive like you do on a hard disk
[14:17] <Bhavesh> maybe I should just try it..
[14:18] <cfhowlett> Bhavesh: I've never done it as i don't really get the difference between the startup disk and an installation to disk.
[14:18] <cfhowlett> Bhavesh: maybe someone else can chime in on this?
[14:19] <hfic> Bhavesh, unetbootin
[14:19] <ThinkT510> Bhavesh: sure, you can install to usb just like you would a normal harddrive install, just make sure you put the bootloader on the usb too
[14:19] <p1l0t> So I am out of harddrive space.. I have an 80GB harddrive and it is partitioned into two parts one 30GB and one 50GB. the 30GB was basically kept as a backup after an OS fail. I partitioned and reinstalled on the 50GB. I have already verified that I have backed up everything I need from the 30GB partition and I now wipe it out for the extra 30gb.. Only problem is that is the original and only one that is flagged as bootable..
[14:20] <cfhowlett> ThinkT510: thanks.  that actually clarified things for me a bit.
[14:20] <ThinkT510> Bhavesh: also i'm not sure if your college would have disabled booting from usb in the bios, you'd need to check that
[14:20] <Bhavesh> ThinkT510: "just make sure you put the bootloader on the usb too" that will happen automatically at the time of installation right?
[14:20] <Bhavesh> ThinkT510: I checked it today :)
[14:20] <cfhowlett> Bhavesh: it'll be OFFERED but not automatically done.
[14:20] <Bhavesh> cfhowlett: ok
[14:22] <belgianguy> anyone with Java skills here?
[14:22] <belgianguy> or an understanding of Midi ?
[14:22] <pragma-> der, ##java?
[14:22] <gordonjcp> I understand MIDI
[14:22] <ThinkT510> Bhavesh: i've always manually partitioned, you can check where the bootloader goes during the partitioning phase in the installer
[14:22] <belgianguy> pragma-: they can't/won't help
[14:22] <gordonjcp> belgianguy: #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:22] <cfhowlett> belgianguy: ask in #ubuntustudio?
[14:22] <ThinkT510> Bhavesh: should be a dropdown list at the bottom
[14:23] <Bhavesh> Also when I booted from my usb the ubuntu 12.04 live boot connected to internet (wired network) but I could not load pages. Later I checked their ubuntu 10.04's and they had a wired network named Auto eth0 with a mac address. Now all I have to do is copy and paste the mac address to my 12.04's wired network settings?
[14:23] <Bhavesh> ThinkT510: ok
[14:26] <p1l0t> Can I resize partitions to trade space from one to another?
[14:27] <ThinkT510> p1l0t: sure, you'd need to do it from a livecd
[14:28] <codemaniac> !info FlightGear
[14:28] <p1l0t> no cd drive ThinkT510 but I do have a bootable USB thingy with like 10.10 on it
[14:28] <Sachiru> What would be the lightest window manager for ubuntu right now, intended for servers?
[14:28] <Sachiru> fluxbox?
[14:29] <ThinkT510> p1l0t: a usb will be fine too, i tend to use partedmagic for that sort of thing but ubuntu livecd/usb comes with gparted
[14:30] <rypervenche> Sachiru: None^^ Don't need one for a server.
[14:30] <Bhavesh> p1l0t: or you can do it with some partition editor if you already have windows installed
[14:30] <Sachiru> Let me clarify:
[14:30] <Sachiru> Intended for servers which will be managed by newbie admins who would want a gui.
[14:30] <Sachiru> And rely on tools like synaptic.
[14:30] <rypervenche> Sachiru: We can teach you to use the command line :)
[14:31] <p1l0t> Bhavesh: windows? what's that?
[14:31] <Sachiru> It's not for me.
[14:31] <Sachiru> If it were me, I wouldn't install a window manager.
[14:31] <rypervenche> Sachiru: LXDE is small and usable.
[14:31] <p1l0t> ThinkT510: cool thanks
[14:31] <Sachiru> Thanks.
[14:32] <Sachiru> That's what I needed.
[14:32] <Bhavesh> p1l0t: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows
[14:32] <hfic> !ot
[14:33] <p1l0t> mother of god
[14:36] <Sachiru> MUCH BETTER.
[14:36] <Sachiru> Thanks for the LXDE recommendation, rypervenche.
[14:37] <rypervenche> Sachiru: ^^
[14:37] <Sachiru> The provisioned 1GB of RAM for the VM is more than enough. Passing this on to the programming guy.
[14:37] <Sachiru> And washing my hands of this whole debacle.
[14:38] <CarlFK> how do I get to the package manager?
[14:39] <ThinkT510> software centre
[14:39] <Twinlator> synaptic
[14:39] <ThinkT510> Twinlator: not installed by default anymore
[14:40] <CarlFK> lol
[14:41] <krababbel> aptitude is better
[14:41] <ThinkT510> krababbel: thats not installed by default anymore either
[14:41] <CarlFK> I do cli stuff, but just gave a friend a box with Precise .. and now I can't figure out the gui way to install whatever flash is needed foryoutube
[14:41] <Twinlator> ThinkT510: But I think synaptic is very useful to discover and install packages.
[14:41] <krababbel> oh, at least on the alternative install it is ;
[14:41] <ThinkT510> Twinlator: yeah, i prefer it, first thing i usually install
[14:42] <ThinkT510> !aptitude | krababbel
[14:42] <krababbel> thanks
[14:43] <praz-17> hello everyone
[14:43] <ebs512> having a very difficult time tryingto install this conky lua theme, can someone be of some assistance, there's at least 4 conkyrc files and it tells me to put them in the .conky folder with a sub folder of the name of the theme and create a startup application directing to the startup script, I did that and rebooted and once I boot back up into Ubuntu Gnome 3 the default conky pops up
[14:44] <ThinkT510> ebs512: i think by default it uses whateve is in /etc/conky/
[14:44] <maxi_> heey
[14:44] <ebs512> regardless if it is lua?
[14:44] <maxi_> wat
[14:44] <ThinkT510> ebs512: not sure about that sorry
[14:44] <tdr112> hello all , i have having problems installing ubuntu, after grub i am just getting a blank screen
[14:45] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | tdr112
[14:45] <tdr112> i have tried that
[14:45] <tdr112> still blank
[14:45] <ebs512> if there is anyone here willing to try and help me install this conky theme, I would greatly appreciate it, I've been working on it going 2 hours with no luck
[14:46] <ebs512> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=133414&forumpage=0
[14:46] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: you seem to understand what I am doing ... so what do I tell a new user for installing flash?
[14:46] <ebs512> well that might be why its gtk 2 I need gtk 3 :/
[14:46] <ebs512> any way to convert gtk2 to gtk 3?
[14:47] <ThinkT510> CarlFK: i've always used the flash from the repos
[14:47] <Twinlator> tdr112: you can into system by live cd or USB drive, and repair the grub2.
[14:47] <ThinkT510> !flash | CarlFK
[14:48] <tdr112> Twinlator: its a blank server
[14:48] <tdr112> new out of the box
[14:48] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: "going to the Ubuntu Software Center"  how?!!  lol
[14:48] <ThinkT510> CarlFK: are you on unity?
[14:49] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: whatever is the default for Precise
[14:49] <ThinkT510> CarlFK: yes, that is unity, there should be an icon for the software centre in the left panel
[14:50] <ZhDong> win 的程序可以在ubuntu上安装吗？
[14:50] <ThinkT510> !ch | ZhDong
[14:50] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: right - gets you the same as hitting the "window" key, right ?
[14:50] <LetoThe2nd> !cn
[14:50] <LetoThe2nd> !cn | ZhDong
[14:50] <CarlFK> oh wait...  panel.. um.. right
[14:50] <ThinkT510> CarlFK: the windows key brings up the dash
[14:50] <ZhDong> ok
[14:51] <ThinkT510> LetoThe2nd: thanks, i got the wrong one
[14:51] <Twinlator> ZhDong: use VMware or virtualBox , if you don't want to use Vm, can use wine.
[14:52] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: I need to bring up a fresh install... my box is 3 or 4 revs behind
[14:52] <CarlFK> ThinkT510: but what you gave me is probablby what I needed, so thanks
[14:52] <ThinkT510> CarlFK: no worries :0
[14:55] <Lb2> I'm trying to follow the DataRecovery page on the wiki (after I messed up my mdadm raid1 setup, I'm now left with an image of one of the partitions) and the tools like foremost seem to work, I'm wondering though if I can't mount the image directly as ext4, even though trying to do so gives me "group descriptions corrupted!" in dmesg?
[14:56] <Sachin__> Is there any way to make sure "root" user doesnt access my files?
[14:56] <tsimpson> Sachin__: root has no restrictions, by design
[14:57] <dr_willis> encrypt them
[14:59] <borgfoo> Hi, can someone told me if it's possible to update an ubuntu server to the state of one week ago. I want to update the half of my servers after the other half runs one week without problems.
[15:02] <dr_willis> 'the state of one week ago' seems odd..
[15:03] <dr_willis> ive never heard of that 'feature'
[15:04] <borgfoo> dr_willis: I don't know how I can explain this good.
[15:04] <Zepo> Hey Guys, little Question, how can I set the brightness of my laptop to be permanent. Even if I reduce it it is still resettet after a restart
[15:04] <belgianguy> okay, where would I find Ubuntu's MIDI interfaces?
[15:05] <[snake]> I installed gentoo on my desktop (in a  folder called gentoo) can I tell grub2 to boot into that?
[15:05] <belgianguy> eg check if I have them _at all_
[15:05] <borgfoo> dr_willis: I want to have updates on the production servers after they working one week on the staging servers.
[15:05] <[snake]> belgianguy, what does eg mean?
[15:06] <borgfoo> dr_willis: If I make `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` on the production servers after a week they are also getting updates which aren't tested one week on the staging servers.
[15:06] <belgianguy> [snake]: exempli gratia, for example :)
[15:07] <[snake]> belgianguy, oh.
[15:07] <[snake]> I installed gentoo on my desktop (in a  folder called gentoo) can I tell grub2 to boot into that?
[15:08] <ThinkT510> [snake]: uh, that isn't how you install gentoo, you need a seperate partition, also this is ubuntu support
[15:08] <[snake]> ThinkT510, the subject of my question is not about gentoo, it's about grub. and you can install gentoo into a folder.
[15:09] <[snake]> that's actually how you do it
[15:09] <belgianguy> I wouldn't know how to do that tbh
[15:09] <belgianguy> I'm an Ubuntu user :/
[15:09] <belgianguy> the Windows of all Linuxes
[15:09]  * belgianguy hides
[15:10] <[snake]> belgianguy, haha, well- at least ubuntu is secure.
[15:10] <billc> i have a belkin home base control center to make my home printers appear wireless can u tell me how to connect to ubuntu
[15:10] <[snake]> and the question is about grub, not gentoo. :p
[15:11] <[snake]> ThinkT510, so you're saying if I chroot into the folder on my desktop, it won't be a gentoo environment?
[15:12] <[snake]> ThinkT510, because I can use emerge and everything.
[15:12] <Twinlator> belgianguy: midi can be open in the /usr/share/applications
[15:12] <belgianguy> thanks Twinlator
[15:12] <ThinkT510> [snake]: it might very well be but keeping it in your ubuntu partition inside a home folder is very unorthodox and makes no sense
[15:12] <[snake]> ThinkT510, I installed all of the software, and now I just need to boot it from grub, which I already know is possible. but I'm not sure how.
[15:12] <[snake]> ThinkT510, do I tell you how to use your computer?
[15:13] <ThinkT510> [snake]: have fun figuring it out
[15:13] <[snake]> ThinkT510, I will. I enjoy this kind of stuff.
[15:14] <Xaratas> fun is a good point. could someone explain why df says i have no inodes? https://www.privatepaste.com/5491359fd1
[15:14] <belgianguy> is there a testsuite to see if I even _have_ MIDI?
[15:15] <belgianguy> or if my soundcard just can't play it?

[15:22] <peterrus> (it crashes my kernel during boot)
[15:23] <[snake]> paco_, did you reboot?
[15:23] <paco_> [snake], yes
[15:23] <[snake]> paco_, how many times?
[15:23] <paco_> [snake], several times
[15:23] <[snake]> paco_, hm... I'd suggest reading the link then :/
[15:24] <paco_> [snake], what link__
[15:24] <new2ubuntu> can anybody give me some basic idea about using LAMP?

[15:26] <paco_> thanks
[15:26] <new2ubuntu> ubottu: i installed the LAMP but cant locate it
[15:26] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, "you can put pages in /var/www/" - [snake]
[15:27] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: yah
[15:27] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, what do you mean "can't locate it?"
[15:28] <[snake]> localhost will show your page on your computer
[15:28] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: i mean like the one which appears in windows i.e Wamp tab
[15:28] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, lamp doesn't come with that.
[15:29] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, personally I don't think you need it.
[15:29] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, if you want to stop apache: service apache2 stop
[15:29] <[snake]> in terminal
[15:30] <[snake]> if you want to check if it's running service apache2 status
[15:30] <[snake]> you can also start and restart it.
[15:30] <DamienCassou> hi
[15:30] <new2ubuntu> [snake]:ya i got that
[15:30] <[snake]> DamienCassou, hi
[15:30] <Twinlator> Krishnandu: i'd suggest you to install 4.x, someone says that 3.x can't update to 4.x.
[15:31] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, other than that, I'm not sure what else you would need. I am running a server here. without the button :) I think the button actually gets in the way(ie the button from wamp)
[15:31] <DamienCassou> I've just installed precise. I have an external hdd connected with usb. Each time I plug it it is mounted read-only for me but read/write for root. What can I do please?
[15:32] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: one question...how can i run .php pages in server?
[15:32] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, They should run naturally I think.
[15:32] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: sory,dunt hab much idea bout these things...so dont mind!
[15:32] <Zepo> Hey Guys, i just installed KDE on my Ubuntu 12.04 but there is no German langauge pack , how can I add it ?
[15:32] <Twinlator> new2ubuntu: install apache 2.x and php5
[15:33] <[snake]> Twinlator, I think he already has lamp
[15:33] <new2ubuntu> Twinlator: yes,i installed the lamp already
[15:34] <Twinlator> Ok, you can try to run wordpress
[15:34] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, have you tried using php on your server? is it not functioning properly?
[15:34] <[snake]> Twinlator, that is if you want a blog :P
[15:34] <gsker> I did an install of precise from an ISO image and the group 'admin' did not get created.  What creates it?
[15:34] <gsker> I've search through postinst in all the deb files and didn't find it.
[15:35] <auronandace> gsker: i think the group sudo replaces it
[15:35] <gsker> Really? They changed that?
[15:35] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: i guess i actually dont know the correct process to run php in localhost...
[15:36] <gsker> Yup. You're right. Thanks.
[15:36] <auronandace> gsker: yeah, when i do id it doesn't show admin but it shows sudo
[15:36] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, write an index.php in /var/www/
[15:37] <samuel_> hello guys
[15:37] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, maybe try putting this in it. <html><head><title> PHP Test Script </title></head><body><?php phpinfo( ); ?></body></html>
[15:37] <samuel> I am mounting some drives on my home folder
[15:37] <samuel> is there any way to hide them from nautilus?
[15:38] <samuel> I don't want them to be shown as mounted drives
[15:38] <gsker> There are several packages that rely on the admin group -- like samba that did not get that news.
[15:38] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: where can i find /var/www?
[15:38] <Twinlator> new2ubuntu: put your files(x.php) in the /var/www/, and use broswer to open localhost/x.php, if the file use available, it will run in the broswer.
[15:38] <new2ubuntu> thats the server directory i guess
[15:39] <samuel> I have tried adding them in as udev rules, but it is not working
[15:39] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, /var/www/ is at /var/www haha. open a folder and go to> computer >filesystem >var > www
[15:41] <[snake]> samuel, maybe you can try mounting the one for your home folder using fstab
[15:41] <Bluesir9> hello?
[15:41] <samuel> [snake]: thanks, thats exactly how they are being mounted
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> new2ubuntu  you want to work with apache and you don't know how to go to a folder? tip: first learn the basics
[15:41] <[snake]> samuel, oh... idk :P
[15:41] <samuel> [snake]: they are nfs shares (vbox shared folders)
[15:42] <Zepo> Come on :| I installed KDE , patched the langauge, now it needs hell of time to load and I got no panel anymore ?
[15:42] <[snake]> Zepo, :( maybe it's a KDE bug?
[15:43] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, have you found it yet?
[15:43] <cokeme> I need help with configuring my ubuntu.
[15:43] <cokeme> Can anyone help?
[15:43] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: it works now
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> cokeme  start with a question
[15:43] <new2ubuntu> thanxx
[15:43] <[snake]> cokeme, ask your question. don't ask to ask. :P
[15:43] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, your welcome :)
[15:44] <cokeme> MonkeyDust, [snake]: What is the best way to view porn on an ubuntu? I have lots of it and watch it all day, but I feel there has to be a faster way to watch all of this porn.
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> cokeme  wrong channel
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> not here please
[15:44] <cokeme> MonkeyDust: This is the support channel correct?
[15:44] <[snake]> cokeme, I'm uncomfortable with answering that question.
[15:45] <DamienCassou> I've just installed precise. I have an external hdd connected with usb and using ext4 file system. Each time I plug it, it is mounted read-only for me but read/write for root. What can I do to have it read/write for me please?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> !coc > cokeme
[15:45] <cokeme> [snake]: ok, let me rephrase that. What is the best way to watch a massive amount of media in only a short period of time? [I am a premature ejaculator]
[15:45] <litropy> Hi, peeps - I'm just looking to set my three fans within my iMac to max speed in ubuntu.
[15:46] <sir_tyrion> What is the ubuntu chkconfig equivalent?
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> sir_tyrion  depends on what it does
[15:46] <PMantis_Laptop> sir_tyrion: update-rc.d
[15:47] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: do u hab any suggestions about the best portal for easier ubuntu tutorials
[15:47] <Zepo> Hmm strange, Ubuntu 12.04 had a Error -> ExecutablePath usr/bin/nautilus
[15:48] <Zepo> nautilus crashed with SIGABRT in raise()
[15:48] <PMantis_Laptop> Hi guys, I'm upgrading a customer server from 10.04.4 to 12.04. In the middle of the upgrade, and it failed on slapd. I seem to be having this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/990742  I can pastebin anything to assist diagnostics.
[15:48] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, I'm not sure. there is an ubuntu wiki I think.
[15:48] <sir_tyrion> With update-rc.d, is the basename the full name of the scriptin the /etc/rc.x directories?
[15:49] <sir_tyrion> update-rc.d doesn't seem to have a list option
[15:49] <new2ubuntu> [snake]: its been only a week im using ubuntu.......and im really loving it.......its lot more awesome than windows.......
[15:49] <[snake]> new2ubuntu, yeah, I remember when I started using ubuntu.
[15:49] <Xaratas> hm, @cokeme set the playspeed in mplayer to 1.5 than it is faster
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> PMantis_Laptop  better ask in #ubuntu-server

[16:03] <Zal> Hi, my MOTD on ubuntu 10.04 tells me "179 packages can be updated", but apt-get update doesn't show them. I've verified that I do not have an /etc/motd.tail file, and that /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check returns the same message. Is apt-check referring to the fact that I can update to "precise"?
[16:03]  * steveg is away: DOOP!
[16:03] <jetrost> i am trying to edit my iptables, but i am running 12.04 server, so i don't have a GUI. is there a CLI-only version of firestarter, or something similar, with a simple way to view/edit the iptables?
[16:03] <Zal> jetrost, command-line iptables isn't too bad
[16:03] <Zal> i.e., without firestarter
[16:04]  * steveg is away: DOOP!
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> !away > steveg
[16:04] <stefg> Zal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[16:04] <jetrost> Zal: oh, duh. i hadn't even tried that. i'll give it a shot, even though i'm not 100% sure what i'm doing with the iptables...
[16:04] <Tellmarch> command line iptables, on a server, when you don't know what you're doing, means that you'll likely lose all access to your server... but besides that it's not too bad
[16:04] <Tellmarch> :p
[16:05] <Zal> stefg, cool, that'd be for jetrost
[16:05] <Zal> jetrost, check out stefg's link too
[16:05] <stefg> Zal. right... out of line error :-)
[16:06] <Zal> Tellmarch, probably just as easy to lock yourself out using firestarter I imagine :-) But yeah, proper caution is required (I typically use a script to test firewall changes, then flush them 30 seconds later, just in case)
[16:06] <hfic> why when I go to create a user account it's asking me for my actual root password and not the session user I'm currently logged into?
[16:06] <jetrost> Tellmarch: yeah, that may happen. but i'm running an instance of 12.04 server on an Amazon EC2 virtual machine, so creating a new one if i lose access isn't too big of a deal. would take about 2 minutes to get another one up and running to try again...
[16:08] <jetrost> Zal: that script idea is pretty clever. i'll have to remember that. unfortunately, my scripting skills are pretty rudimentary, so it would take me longer to hack together a script than it would to just reload the image and try again if i fuddle something up
[16:09] <Zal> no ideas on why my MOTD says "179 packages can be updated" but apt doesn't see them?
[16:12] <stefg> Zal: what happens if you just issue good old fashioned "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?
[16:16] <SnapSnap> Does PlayonLinux work with "Games for Windows"?
[16:17] <[snake]> SnapSnap, I think that's what it's for.
[16:18] <PMantis_Laptop> Nobody seems to be listening in #ubuntu_server, and I have a server that won't upgrade from 10.04.4 to 12.04 because of slapd:  slap_sasl_init: auxprop add plugin failed
[16:18] <PMantis_Laptop> So far my efforts are not helping all the way.
[16:18] <Zal> stefg, I haven't tried that, because I'm under the impression that dist-upgrade will upgrade me to another ubuntu version, which is not desired in my case. Am I correct about what dist-upgrade does?
[16:19] <[snake]> PMantis_Laptop, it must be a config file somewhere.
[16:19] <SnapSnap> [snake], I knew it was for running Windows software on Linux, but I had some trouble installing a game that you have to log in to "Games for Windows" to play. Wasn't sure if that aspect of it could cause problems.
[16:19] <[snake]> PMantis_Laptop, you could go around the problem, that is download the 12.04 iso, backup all of your files and reinstall, then load everything back up.
[16:19] <mallet> Hi. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and created a standard (non-administrative) user. But this standard user cannot shutdown the computer using the top right menu (under Unity). Do you know how I can allow shutdown (and reboot) for this user?
[16:20] <PMantis_Laptop> snake: I would assume so, but that doesn't help much. :(
[16:20] <PMantis_Laptop> snake: Upgrades should work, but that's a last resort. Unfortunately, being the first day of school, the teachers need the server up.
[16:21] <[snake]> PMantis_Laptop, oh... hm. what's the full problem?
[16:21] <stefg> Zal: no, unless you're not messing with your sources.list and do not use update-manager dist-upgrade will only lift you to the lastest versions *inside your current ubuntu version*
[16:21] <stefg> !apt
[16:21] <stefg> !upgrade
[16:22] <PMantis_Laptop> snake: During do-release-upgrade, it halted while upgrading slapd. The update script calls slapcat to export the directory, but this failed trying to init sasl.
[16:22] <Zal> stefg, so what's the difference between update and dist-upgrade? I've read lots of docs, but am not getting it apparently.
[16:22] <PapaSierra2> i'm trying to set up a cronjob for the first time. it's simply not work but i can't find any error log or whatever, any tips?
[16:22] <trecca> ciao
[16:22] <trecca> !list
[16:23] <trecca> !list
[16:23] <stefg> Zal: very little.... the wording for dist-upgrade IMHO stems from the debian roots. it does different things on debian testing, but not on ubuntu
[16:23] <Xaratas> zal: update -> install new versions of already installed packages; dist-upgade -> install a complete new version of the os
[16:23] <Sidewinder1> trecca, Not here..
[16:23] <JosueGarcionum> The best way to upgrade your version of Ubuntu is to back-up all of the files you want to save, create a live cd of the version you want to upgrade to, and reinstall ubuntu.
[16:23] <Zal> PapaSierra2, does your script run OK from outside of cron?
[16:23] <gordonjcp> what is it with italians and !list?
[16:23] <[snake]> PMantis_Laptop, hm... I'm really not sure :/ that's really technical. but maybe you can google the problem. Does you name mean psycho mantis from  metal gear solid?
[16:23] <Xaratas> or am i wrong?
[16:24] <Zal> stefg, ok, so if there are "179 updates available", and apt-get update shows zero, then presumably those updates are available for packages that are NOT currently installed?
[16:24] <Sidewinder1> gordonjcp, That is a question that has baffled the sages for ages..
[16:24] <gordonjcp> Xaratas: not quite
[16:24] <gordonjcp> Xaratas: "update" updates the package lists, "dist-upgrade" pulls in the updated packages
[16:24] <PMantis_Laptop> snake: I've googled for 2 hours. The bug filed says it's solved.  And no.. just Praying Mantis shortened.
[16:24] <Zal> er, that was for Xaratas, sorry
[16:24] <anuxi> hi
[16:24] <PapaSierra2> Zal, it works perfectly outside cron
[16:25] <JosueGarcionum> apt-get update only updates your software repos. The command you're looking for is sudo apt-get upgrade.
[16:25] <Zal> PapaSierra2, then the problem is likely your environment. cron uses a very limited environment compared to your logged in user
[16:25] <PapaSierra2> Zal, meaning it doesn't have permission?
[16:25] <gordonjcp> Sidewinder1: it happens in a bunch of channels I'm in; someone from a .it IP addy shows up, says "ciao", says "!list", and then goes away again - or sometimes hangs about making racist comments in Italian
[16:25] <stefg> Zal, no.... there's something smelly in that message... At least it's safe to run dist-upgarde and see if your MOTD changes after that
[16:25] <DJones> Zal: I had something similar a while back and it was down to a corrupted MOTD and it was showing old information
[16:26] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: If something workg outside of cron, but not in cron, it's likely because of the environment not being setup when it runs... use the full path like "/usr/bin/grep" (for example) instead of "grep" in your scripts.
[16:26] <Zal> PapaSierra2, no, it would run as whatever user the cron job is configured as (root, by default). But you may not have a "HOME" director
[16:26] <Zal> y, for example
[16:26] <Zal> DJones, yes, checked that bug, and unfortunately it's not what I'm experiencing.
[16:26] <hfic> with vsftpd.conf If I specify pasv_addr_resolve=YES and pasv_address=blah.dy.blah do I have to specifiy anything else?
[16:27] <Sidewinder1> gordonjcp, That situation has been discussed adnausium; with no clear reason or answer. Just ignore "it". Heh,.
[16:27] <Abel408> Hey everyone. I'm having trouble setting up a smtp authentication server with postfix and SASL. I want to make it as simple as possible. Whats the difference between pam and shadow?
[16:27] <Xaratas> Zal: packages which are not installed are not counted, try aptitud if apt-get is unclear in its messages
[16:27] <Xaratas> maybe it coud display something of more information
[16:27] <hfic> !aptitude
[16:27] <peterrus> How can I figure out if a certain module can be blacklisted?
[16:27] <peterrus> I have a module (asus-wmi) that I added to blacklist.conf
[16:27] <peterrus> but its still loaded
[16:28] <Zal> thanks guys, "apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade" shows the packages
[16:28] <PapaSierra2> Zal, PMantis_Laptop i now understand what you're saying. however i can't spot the issue: my case is incredibly simple: http://www.hastebin.com/figibevojo.bash
[16:29] <Zal> PapaSierra2, probably the "./" is messing you up. Try a full absolute path to the script.
[16:29] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: You have a DOT in front of the path in the cron entry don't use the dot.
[16:31] <PapaSierra2> Zal PMantis_Laptop thanks, i added it there because it wasn't working and i starting "trying things". let me try without
[16:32] <PapaSierra2> still nothing :(
[16:33] <PMantis_Laptop> Look at your log file, or /var/log/daemon.log (I think) for the results of cron
[16:35] <PapaSierra2> it's not /var/log/daemon.log, i can't find what it actually is though
[16:36] <PapaSierra2> PMantis_Laptop http://www.hastebin.com/raw/fawejoyati
[16:36] <someprimetime> i just enabled a website in sites-available and i'm linking to my server the same way I do for all of my other websites and I'm getting a 400 bad request page from nginx on my server but i haven't even set nginx up
[16:36] <someprimetime> any idea why this would be happening? all my other sites that i'm doing this with are fine.
[16:36] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: ah /var/log/syslog. Run: tail -f /var/log/ssylog | grep cron   and wait a minute... it should show that's it's trying to run.
[16:37] <oskar-> Hi, how can I verify, that a SSL server is presenting a valid certificate chain with a trusted root certificate on top? I thought, that this would be possible with: "openssl s_client -CAfile ca.crt -connect server:port"  But that gives "Verify return code: 0 (ok)" with every CA file. What am I doing wrong?
[16:37] <PapaSierra2> PMantis_Laptop http://www.hastebin.com/raw/nifacilowi
[16:39] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: Of course... if you use a 1 at the beginning, it'll ONLY run at 1 minute past each hour. LOL
[16:39] <Zal> PapaSierra2, if you want it to run every minute, use *
[16:39] <PapaSierra2> aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh dammit!
[16:39] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: Use the next minute... as a database dump every minute could be CATASTROPHIC to the server's memory if the DB is big.
[16:40] <PapaSierra2> of course my "every minute" was only to get immediate feedback that it's working
[16:40] <PapaSierra2> then it want every day
[16:40] <PapaSierra2> keeping telling myself to rtfm
[16:41] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: Right. Then use: 31 3 * * *  to run it at 3:31 AM.
[16:42] <Zal> PapaSierra2, or just drop the script in /etc/cron.daily
[16:42] <PapaSierra2> yup! perfect. and it's working! thanks so much for your patience PMantis_Laptop and Zal
[16:42] <PapaSierra2> yup, i saw those directories
[16:42] <PapaSierra2> clever stuff. thanks folk
[16:42] <PMantis_Laptop> I believe that causes it to run exactly at midnight.. might not want everything to run then.
[16:42] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: You're welcome.
[16:42] <PapaSierra2> no, not at midnight
[16:43] <hfic> oskar-, at work we use curl to verify ssl chains. Look into using the curl command
[16:43] <PapaSierra2> they're suitably scrambled

[16:43] <PapaSierra2> look at /etc/crontab and you'll see they occur at like 17 minutes passed the hour and crap like that
[16:44] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: Oh, really? Guess I have some rtfming to do too. :)
[16:45] <PapaSierra2> PMantis_Laptop take a look http://www.hastebin.com/raw/wuxobajoto
[16:45] <PapaSierra2> i've got to go. thanks once again :)
[16:45] <PMantis_Laptop> NP!
[16:46] <PMantis_Laptop> PapaSierra2: Ahh, ok.. probably random at install. But all cron.daily scripts would run back to back. Still not always what I want. :)
[16:47] <billc> i have a belkin home base control center i would like to connect to ubuntu
[16:47] <PapaSierra2> PMantis_Laptop quite right, so you'd need to take manual control to "scramble" them
[16:47] <PapaSierra2> bye
[16:49] <Zal> PMantis_Laptop, I doubt it's random, more likely some arbitrary times chosen by debian/ubuntu developers

[17:05] <Guest13620> Djones 2D dosent let changes in it
[17:06] <Guest13620> Djones 2D dosent let changes in it
[17:07] <DJones> Guest13620: In that case, I don't know, myunity was my only suggestion
[17:07] <Guest13620> anyone !!.. is there a way to reduce the unity search window size??
[17:08] <ForSpareParts> Guest13620: Again, please don't keep asking over and over. It's rude, and distracting for other people in the channel -- your original question is still in the log, give people time to see it.
[17:11] <Ansii> i need to change the size of unity window..just as Guest 12620 did
[17:11] <Ansii> :)
[17:11] <ikonia> Ansii: you are guest13620 - please don't pretend you are someone else
[17:11] <DJones> Ansii: We saw your nick change
[17:11] <Ansii> hehe..:)
[17:11] <DJones> !patience | Ansii
[17:11] <ikonia> I'm not laughing
[17:11] <OerHeks> Ansii, maybe this page will help >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/how-to-adjust-size-of-unity-2d-launcher-and-icons
[17:12] <bolosaur> Is there anything I can do in Ubuntu to check which ports are open? Because I can't VNC through 5900 with my current modem.
[17:12] <Ansii> OerHeks.. not the icons and the launcher. but the search window
[17:12] <Zal> bolosaur, netstat -vatnup
[17:12] <PMantis_Laptop> bolosaur: netstat -anp | grep "LISTEN "
[17:12] <bolosaur> thanks. is there any way to check if port 5900 is blocked too?
[17:12] <bolosaur> just to be sure that im not missing anything
[17:13] <Zal> bolosaur, there's too many things that might be blocking, but "iptables -L" will show you if the local firewall is doing so.
[17:13] <bolosaur> Zal: its most likely my modem
[17:13] <bolosaur> so im just wondering if theres any way to check if port 5900 is really being blocked
[17:14] <Zal> bolosaur, you can use tcpdump to determine if traffic is actually reaching the ubuntu machine
[17:14] <cat-orze> hola
[17:15] <cat-orze> tengo problemas de los serios
[17:15] <pirx> no comprende! :)
[17:15] <cat-orze> estoy por volver a winbug;(
[17:15] <bolosaur> What does netstat -vatnup do? It's just giving me a list of services
[17:15] <bolosaur> or something like that
[17:15] <Zal> cat-orze, hablanos en ingles aqui, por favor
[17:16] <Zal> bolosaur, shows what is open/running on ports
[17:16] <pirx> "winbug", that sounds like the wrong channelos
[17:16] <bolosaur> Ok so I did netstat -anp | grep "LISTEN" and it gave me a bunch of ports
[17:16] <cat-orze> ok, disculpame, no se hablar inglés pero ya lo intento. Disculp-me.
[17:16] <bolosaur> but aren't these ports in the linux firewall?
[17:17] <DJones> !es | cat-orze
[17:17] <bolosaur> what i want to do is test which ports actually go through my modem
[17:17] <bolosaur> because im sure that the modem is the problem
[17:17] <Zal> bolosaur, that has nothing to do with ubuntu, other than perhaps my tcpdump suggestion
[17:17] <no_gravity> Hello Ubuntu people! Is there a way to overlay an image half transparent on the image of a webcam? Or in other words: I would like to mix a static image and the image coming from a camera.
[17:17] <cat-orze> I'm a serius problem with drivers nvidia
[17:17] <bolosaur> zal: im wondering if ubuntu has a function for testing this
[17:18] <cat-orze> i can't compilate the new kernel 3.5.3
[17:18] <mutio> I am looking for a working "xrandr ..." command line to set the screen dpi so that all fonts come out bigger by default
[17:19] <bolosaur> I tried open ports check tool, and it says all ports are closed, even 80
[17:19] <bolosaur> man thats weird
[17:20] <oldereagle> I am struggling with understanding gparted. Trying to make my windows partition smaller and ubuntu larger. I can select that the windows partition should be smaller (/dev/sda2), but after setting that i do not understand how to make ubuntu partition bigger (/dev/sda5)?
[17:21] <cat-orze> please i'm need help to install de new kernel or solution the conflict with nouveau vs nvidia
[17:21] <cat-orze> i'm use the ubuntu 12.04
[17:22] <mutio> cat-orze, have you tried blacklist.conf?
[17:22] <no_gravity> oldereagle: there is unused space (grey) behind your ubuntu partition?
[17:22] <compdoc> oldereagle, /dev/sda5 tends to be the swap space
[17:23] <cat-orze> something I did, I added some lines
[17:23] <oldereagle> no_gravity, there is no unused space anywhere. But when I select to make win part smaller I get a grey unallocoated space in the middle. ...
[17:24] <oldereagle> compdoc, swap is sda6 on my system...
[17:24] <compdoc> oldereagle, good. Did you already shrink the windows partition?
[17:24] <bolosaur> OK I think I found a potential problem with my VNC listening on UBUNTU
[17:24] <bolosaur> oh wait no
[17:25] <atrius> hello all... i've got a 12.10LTS server system which is refusing to boot... vgscan is timing out for some reason and therefore there is no root to mount
[17:25] <atrius> huh... seems this channel is magic... now it is suddenly working?
[17:25] <oldereagle> compdoc, no. I have not "done" it yet. Only selevted it to be smaller. I have not "Applied all operations" yet.
[17:25] <no_gravity> oldereagle: you have to make unallocated space after your ubuntu partition. maybe before would also work.
[17:25] <mutio> atrius, amazing, isn't it
[17:26] <compdoc> atrius, you should boot the live cd/dvd and take a look at your drive
[17:26] <atrius> mutio: indeed
[17:27] <atrius> compdoc: nothing wrong with the disk.. i could easily vgchange -ay from busybox.. i think it has more to do with my somewhat unusual setup.. the machine in question is a 16 core OpenStack server
[17:27] <compdoc> oldereagle, ok. so what you do is move the other parititons next to the windows partition until you get to the partition you want to grow. This is all very dangerous, btw. be sure you have a backup
[17:27] <mutio> atrius, but having a problem suddenly disappear gives you more information about the cause
[17:27] <compdoc>  oldereagle, they say you should defrag the windows partition first - can help it from being damaged. then make the partition smaller
[17:27] <cat-orze> I will return later, proves to delete the xorg with
[17:27] <cat-orze> rm / etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:28] <cat-orze> and install driver again
[17:28] <atrius> mutio: not really though... unless it was caused by a transient network issue or something of that nature.. right odd that
[17:29] <oldereagle> compdoc, ok. I have already defragged it. Will try to apply it now...
[17:32] <Meet> i m having a peculiar problem. at night after 10 pm or so, my internet speed suddenly plunges. I am not able to stream videos on youtube, facebook and g+ take eternity to load on all browsers. but torrent downloading is pretty much normal. i am getting my normal speeds (fractionally less). how do i find out the problem?
[17:32] <mutio> atrius, it could be that the linux storage driver isn't running perfectly stable, and so causes transient issues
[17:33] <mutio> Meet, are you on broadband?
[17:33] <Meet> mutio: yes
[17:33] <atrius> mutio: that seems perfectly logical at the moment.. but also scary.. can't really have this thing be that unstable
[17:33] <tech1> probably your isp
[17:33] <tech1> they cap certain traffic at certain times
[17:33] <mutio> Meet, if you are on broadband, you are sharing your bandwidth with everyone in your vicinity
[17:34] <Meet> tech1 i called them. the technician checked the speeds when it was working normal and used speedtest.net to find out the speeds. but in the afternoon or evening they are normal so the problem was not seen at that time
[17:34] <mutio> Meet, so if everyone else goes online at 10pm, they use up more bandwidth which you can't have
[17:34] <lickalott> has anyone seen an issue where the hard drives swap places within dev (for the boot parition)?  makes it a bitch to have automounts and nfs shares.....
[17:34] <Meet> mutio, but then how come torrent downloading is normal?
[17:34] <lickalott> if there a way to make it static?
[17:34] <action09> hi all
[17:35] <BluesKaj> lickalott, separate drives or just partitions ?
[17:35] <tech1> torrent might use a different port
[17:35] <mutio> Meet, because torrents are usually forced to run slower anyways
[17:36] <tech1> its more likley isp capping if you can still get torrent downloading
[17:36] <tech1> i think
[17:36] <tech1> they just cap certain ports
[17:36] <tech1> not sure though
[17:36] <lickalott> serparate drives BluesKaj
[17:36] <BluesKaj> !UUID | lickalott
[17:36] <action09> how to convince ubuntu not to do update through ipv6... please
[17:36] <Meet> tech1 torrent download is normal. so it does not seem they are capping. plus i have got an unlimited plan for broadband, without caps.
[17:37] <mutio> Meet, what's the normal speed you get for tottents compared to your best speed for everything else
[17:37] <tech1> i mean they are capping certain ports. and torrent dosnt use that port so it dosnt get capped
[17:37] <tech1> and there is no such thing as unlimited internet
[17:38] <Meet> the speeds are pretty much crappy in this part but still normally for torrents i get about 400kbps
[17:38] <Meet> now at  night this speed is about 350kbps, which i am fine with //  mutio
[17:38] <mutio> Meet, and what is your best speeds for web browsing?
[17:38] <Meet> mutio: the one from speedtest?
[17:39] <mutio> sure
[17:39] <oldereagle> compdoc, now I have the following in gparted. [/dev/sda2 60 GB]   [unallocated 153 gb]   [ /dev/sda5 72 gb]
[17:39] <lickalott> BluesKaj, now what?
[17:39] <compdoc> oldereagle, this is what you wanted?
[17:40] <atrius> damn... reboot... failed
[17:40] <oldereagle> compdoc, halfway there... I would like to add the unallocted space to my existin 72GB Ubu partition....
[17:40] <lickalott> brb...rebooting
[17:40] <Loof> Is there any way to prevent aptitude/apt-get from restarting a service that's being upgraded via 'install pkg'?
[17:41] <Loof> I want to upgrade... then do another few things... THEN restart it
[17:41] <Meet> mutio: 100kbps
[17:41] <Meet> it said 0.1mbps so roughly mabye 100 right? // mutio
[17:42] <mutio> Meet, that seems odd. usually ISPs cap torrents on general principles, but not the web browsing
[17:42] <diego> hola
[17:42] <diego> Alguien habla español?
[17:43] <DJones> !es | diego
[17:43] <Meet> i called them and they said no capping is done //mutio
[17:43] <diego> gracias!
[17:43] <diego> thanks
[17:43] <w_> Power cable status not recognized on laptop
[17:43] <Zal> Meet, they always say that. Who is your provider?
[17:43] <tech1> if they want to reduce traffic on their network, torrents might not make up much traffic
[17:43] <lickalott> BluesKaj, can I set that to be a static thing? or is it just going to be a crap shoot?
[17:44] <TechnodicT_> Hello room!
[17:44] <tech1> i used to have problems with online games but bit torrent would always work
[17:44] <tech1> im pretty sure it was the isp capping
[17:45] <Guest98666> Power cable status not recognized on laptop, only after restart it recognizes that the power cord is in. any help
[17:45] <mutio> If it happens at a certain time of day, it does seem likely to be everyone else in the area going online
[17:46] <TechnodicT_> Wat brand of pc?
[17:46] <ohzie> Every time I log into my laptop, the brightness is at 0% - is there a way to make that stop happening? I keep changing it to 100% and I've unchecked the dim-my-screen checkbox.
[17:48] <Guest98666> ?
[17:48] <TechnodicT_> Guest what brand of computer?
[17:48] <oldereagle> compdoc, this is how it looks now : http://i.imgur.com/YFjJH.png
[17:48] <akSeya> hello
[17:48] <BluesKaj> lickalott, , this worked for me , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[17:49] <DJones> ohzie: I had the problem on 11.10 and I used this to solve it http://askubuntu.com/questions/79983/screen-brightness-resets-to-minimum-after-every-reboot
[17:49] <akSeya> folks, i just noticed... Unity is not asking for me to confirm when I delete a file
[17:49] <akSeya> how can I change that?
[17:49] <action09> sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1 was my answer :)
[17:49] <ohzie> thank you, DJones
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> action09  open a folder, click edit, preferences, behaviour
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> akSeya   open a folder, click edit, preferences, behaviour
[17:50] <action09> MonkeyDust ok ;)
[17:51] <akSeya> MonkeyDust, the option is selected, but does not work :S
[17:52] <ChogyDan> is there a way to move a window to a different workspace other than right clicking the title bar?
[17:52] <akSeya> it asks when I try to remove from trash bin
[17:52] <dlam> if i do `dmesg`  is there a way to know what time the message was logged
[17:52] <party> need some help with a UDP program in C
[17:52] <dlam> is see some numbers to the left like....  [11470963.510217]
[17:53] <ChogyDan> dlam: I believe that is seconds since boot
[17:53] <dlam> ooo
[17:53] <ChogyDan> dlam: if you look at kern.log you may be able to see the whole boot process
[17:53] <dlam> ahhhh ok
[17:53] <Krishnandu> party Try ##c
[17:55] <party> Krishnandu.. unable.. i am a newbie.. how to do that
[17:56] <ChogyDan> party: /join ##c
[17:57] <ansii> is it difficult to understand the entire linux mechanism.. like who makes it , who centrally organizes , who approves who is in the team how to start my comtribution to the code
[17:57] <ChogyDan> ansii: imho, yes
[17:57] <party> ChogyDan can't seem to do that..Unable
[17:58] <ansii> ChongyDan can u give me knowledge on these things as i cant understand the understand the entire mechanis
[17:58] <Pici> !register | pth
[17:58] <Pici> pth: mistell.
[17:58] <Pici> party: You need to be registered to join ##C, see ubottu's message above
[17:59] <ansii> ChogyDan can u give me knowledge on these things as i cant understand the understand the entire mechanis
[17:59] <oldereagle> Still trying to figure out how to make my Ubuntu partition larger. It now looks like this : http://i.imgur.com/YFjJH.png Thanks for all help.
[17:59] <Zal> ansii, what part do you wish to contribute to?
[17:59] <akSeya> i mean, a way to confirm moving a file to trash.. I just accidentally pressed Delete and a file was moved, i'm glad I noticed that.. if delete is pressed without noticing i would have to turn the trash can on the floor to see if a file was deleted.. it's not nice...
[17:59] <pth> is there a way to add a "show desktop" button to the launcher or panel in unity?
[17:59] <ChogyDan> ansii: well, as far as I know, there are lot's of projects with lot's of codebases run by various people.  Beyond that, it get's specific.  I don't really know more than that
[17:59] <beboj> hi , anyone has this internal modem ? -
[17:59] <beboj> Wireless 5620 EVDO-HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini-Card	
[17:59] <ansii> Zal, firstly i want to know how things work
[17:59] <pth> (12.04)
[18:00] <ansii> who is controlling this whole thing???
[18:00] <wingdspur> #/join #olug
[18:00] <ansii> is there a company behind it>?? how is it all coordinated??
[18:00] <ChogyDan> ansii: it is all controlled through launchpad.  Try looking at some bug reports there
[18:00] <akSeya> with dconf-editor maybe
[18:00] <Zal> ansii, "linux" is divided into (1) the kernel, and (2) every other individual component. Each component has it's own rules and organizational structure for contributions.
[18:01] <Zal> ansii, there is no company in general, though many companies produce their own versions of linux.
[18:01] <Zal> ansii, it's all just a mass volunteer effort, essentially
[18:01] <t3hl33tb34t> Hello?
[18:02] <ansii> Zal like Ubuntu is a open source right... but then who coordinates and approves packages made by people
[18:02] <Bastian_b> Hello, I would like to know if someone knows a good process to follow in order to clean and remove gnome/unity panels to reinstall fresh ones please?
[18:02] <t3hl33tb34t> I'm pretty much here just to ask for help
[18:02] <t3hl33tb34t> same as bastian
[18:02] <deadmund> ansii: Each project has a leader..
[18:02] <gordonjcp> !ask | t3hl33tb34t
[18:02] <Zal> ansii, Different people coordinate and approve changes for different components of the operating system. You might want to read about "gift economy".
[18:02] <deadmund> ansii: If people don't like how that leader is handling things the project can be forked and a new leader can be established
[18:02] <JessicaW> how do you make a sysvinit script start at boot?
[18:03] <ansii> do people meet to approve the leaders???
[18:03] <t3hl33tb34t> !ask can someone please give me a walkthrough for installing ubuntu, I have problems reading the text on the web page
[18:03] <ansii> deadmund do people meet to approve the leaders???
[18:03] <Zal> ansii, no, anyone can declare themselves a project leader for a new project. If your project and leadership is good, then your project will be adopted into various linux distrubutions.
[18:03] <t3hl33tb34t> I can't quite... understand it.
[18:03] <deadmund> ansii: I don't think you understand?
[18:04] <deadmund> ansii: If I want to work on some project (like for example xchat).  I find the xchat website / code and talk to the people currently involved (leader or otherwise) and I join them.
[18:04] <ansii> please give me an example sir, i might be sounding dumb, but i want to know
[18:04] <t3hl33tb34t> Is there seriously no one here who can help me?
[18:04] <t3hl33tb34t> 0.0
[18:04] <Zal> ansii, it's a difficult concept for people used to the standard business model of production :-)
[18:04] <deadmund> ansii: If I really hate how they're doing it I can take their current code, make a copy and start working on it under a slightly new name and be the leader myself or find a different leader or don't have a leader at all
[18:05] <_Trullo> t3hl33tb34t, there are 1000 guides on how to install ubuntu
[18:05] <ansii> deadmund so u mean u need to find the people for your team?
[18:05] <shlafrock> hey guys, could someone tell me if those results are ok for web server http://pastebin.com/qMtq2Yru . I'm considering swap. Is it ok or not ok that it's being used ...
[18:05] <DJones> ansii: Anybody can develop packages, but only certain people can approve them to go into the official; ubuntu repositories, those people are selected by similar people, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU as a starter
[18:05] <deadmund> ansii: If I wanted to create a team, then yes.
[18:05] <t3hl33tb34t> Yes I know that, but I am completely unable to read most of those types of pages.
[18:05] <Zal> ansii, or you could just do it solo, if you prefer
[18:05] <JessicaW> I tried adding it to default runlevels but it still won't start on boot. i.e. update-rc.d munge defaults
[18:05] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: what's hard to understand?
[18:05] <deadmund> ansii: Or maybe I wanna be a team member, then I would have to find a leader for my team
[18:05] <t3hl33tb34t> I can't understand them
[18:05] <t3hl33tb34t> I'm not that tech savvy
[18:05] <DJones> ansii: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted
[18:05] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: get an image, copy it onto a USB stick or burn it to a CD, put it in
[18:05] <t3hl33tb34t> CD and boot from it right?
[18:06] <gordonjcp> yup
[18:06] <Zal> ansii, whether or not anyone *uses* your project, or includes it in their linux distribution, depends on how good it is, and how good a leader you are.
[18:06] <ansii> Zal but can one do it solo.. u would need so much knowledge and info
[18:06] <CnoobShameless> how do i get identified with the servives
[18:06] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: remember if you create a CD, you're burning an ISO and not copying the file onto the disk
[18:06] <Zal> ansii, yep, you would. Some people have it. Most people open their project to at least some other contributors
[18:06] <deadmund> ansii: Ask Richard Stallman
[18:06] <t3hl33tb34t> I know that brah, I said software
[18:06] <Jordan_U> t3hl33tb34t: Please follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-desktop and tell use when you get to something you don't understand.
[18:06] <t3hl33tb34t> Daemon tools is pretty much my bitch.
[18:06] <deadmund> ansii: He single-handedly wrote emacs
[18:07] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: I'm not familiar with that, but you sound like you know what you're doing with it
[18:07] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: so get an iso, burn a disc, boot off it
[18:07] <khyzrh> test2
[18:07] <ansii> where can i find Richard Stallman??
[18:07] <ansii> deadmund where can i finf Richard Scallman
[18:07] <Zal> ansii, google :-)
[18:07] <rypervenche> ansii: Underneath his man-hair.
[18:07] <Jordan_U> !ot
[18:07] <IdleOne> ansii: Not that it has anything to do with Ubuntu, but email him.
[18:07] <deadmund> ansii: He's a celeb, you can't talk to likely.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman
[18:08] <t3hl33tb34t> I think that page was the wrong one
[18:08] <home> hi
[18:08] <t3hl33tb34t> it was talking about motu
[18:08] <ansii> deadmund ?what is emacs
[18:08] <deadmund> ansii: I was just using him as an example because he's written large software projects entirely on his own.
[18:08] <deadmund> ansii: emcas is a text editor / programming IDE
[18:08] <gordonjcp> t3hl33tb34t: so can you get as far as making a CD and booting it?  Do "try Ubuntu without installing", and you've still got the option to install *anyway*
[18:09] <t3hl33tb34t> 0.0
[18:09] <t3hl33tb34t> Maybe I don't need ubuntu
[18:09] <DJones> !contribute | ansii
[18:09] <t3hl33tb34t> I hear it has bad support for most programs...
[18:09] <compdoc> oldereagle, sda4, sad5, and sda6 are one unit. Looks like you need to select sda4 and move that to move them all. Not really sure - Ive never tried this
[18:09] <akSeya> People can accidentally press 'delete' and delete files accidentally without even realizing it, that is dangerous!
[18:09] <t3hl33tb34t> xD
[18:09] <ansii> but where can i learn to code like.. even develop a small application
[18:09] <compdoc> oldereagle, ooops, I was scrolled back
[18:09] <akSeya> halp
[18:09] <ansii> deadmund but where can i learn to code like.. even develop a small application
[18:10] <deadmund> ansii: Where can you learn to program in general?  Most people learn in college.  You can teach yourself using online courses for free too though.
[18:10] <mutio> ansii, start small and work upwards
[18:11] <oldereagle> compdoc, ok. perhaps I should try posting in the gparted forum. It was very easy to split my W7 partion in the first place when installing Ubuntu. Changing it afterward is not so easy.... :)
[18:11] <ansii> i know programming deadmund, but i guess not as intricate as making a standalone application and that too in linux, i've made application in visual basic but i dont know just where to start here, its so confusing
[18:11] <compdoc> oldereagle, if you have no luck there, try the mailing list
[18:12] <ansii> deadmund i know c, and presently i am learning python, but i dont know where i am heading
[18:12] <oldereagle> compdoc, ok. Thanks!
[18:12] <mutio> ansii, there are vbbasic workalikes for linux
[18:12] <deadmund> ansii: Well that's not a question I can answer.  Try reading higher level programming books.  and also google is your friend.
[18:13] <deadmund> ansii: But you're not asking specific enough questions for me to answer really anymore.  I don't know where you're heading either.
[18:13] <ansii> deadmund.. as simple it gets.. i want to make a linux applicaiton
[18:13] <gordonjcp> ansii: find a project that "scratches an itch"
[18:13] <mutio> ansii, console or X?
[18:13] <deadmund> ansii: write some python code, run it in linux, it is a linux application
[18:13] <DJones> ansii: This channel is specifically for Ubuntu support, you'll be better carrying on the discussion by joining #ubuntu-offtopic which is more of a general chat channel
[18:16] <CnoobShameless> how do i register!!
[18:16] <sokel> CnoobShameless for what
[18:16] <wan26> to freenode?
[18:16] <oldcomputer> ciao
[18:17] <sokel> CnoobShameless: /msg nickserv register
[18:17] <CnoobShameless> sokel for services so that i can join ##c
[18:17] <oldcomputer> ho un problema..mi aiutate?
[18:17] <akSeya> really??! no "Confirm move to trash" ??
[18:18] <sokel> oldcomputer: ingles?
[18:18] <DJones> !it | oldcomputer
[18:18] <delinquentme> ubuntus file exploring system is nautilus right?
[18:18] <sokel> delinquentme: It should be
[18:18] <delinquentme> kk
[18:18] <mutio> akSeya, that's the power of linux. All power has it's risks
[18:18] <akSeya> yeap.. nautilus
[18:18] <oldcomputer> grazie
[18:18] <akSeya> mutio, no, this is not the power of linux, this is only a bad design
[18:18] <delinquentme> im attempting to look at the files in a particular VM ... im running natively a 10.04 install .. and the VM is a 12.04
[18:19] <delinquentme> is there a way to open the VM's files in nautilus as if they were a local HD?
[18:19] <mutio> akSeya, if I want to delete a direct with 1000 files, I do not want to confirm each one
[18:19] <sokel> delinquentme: Depends on what you're using. I typically mount the vhd.
[18:19] <gordonjcp> delinquentme: depends what format they are in
[18:20] <akSeya> mutio, "Are you sure you want to delete the selected 1000 files (Y/n)?"
[18:20] <akSeya> easy
[18:20] <trism> akSeya: bug 95853 (marked won't fix upstream, so don't hold your breath)
[18:20] <delinquentme> the files are .ova files sokel gordonjcp
[18:20] <gordonjcp> delinquentme: I don't know what those are, what created them?
[18:21] <sokel> delinquentme and gordonjcp: That's a virtual box appliance.
[18:21] <mutio> akSeya, I guess you'd hate how you can permanently erase your entire harddrive with one command line
[18:21] <sokel> I don't think it's possible to mount them, like I would a VHD
[18:21] <DJones> akSeya: The delete key doesn't actually delete, it just moves to trash, if you press Shift+Delete, that does delete but asks for a confirmation
[18:21] <delinquentme> yeah thats how I loaded them VirtualBox> File > Import Appliance
[18:22] <sokel> delinquentme: There's features of virtualbox that allow you to modify files within a VM. Do a bit of research. I personally don't mess with it.
[18:22] <ansii> how do i list chsnnels to do with python??
[18:23] <ansii> how do i list chsnnels to do with python??   anyone???
[18:23] <delinquentme> ansii, you can ask in #freenode
[18:23] <akSeya> DJones, yeah, but if I accidentally press delete without seeing, i can delete a file and don't even noticing it untill I need it
[18:23] <CnoobShameless> people, how do i register
[18:23] <akSeya> it's dumb
[18:23] <Pici> !register | CnoobShameless
[18:23] <keshav> hello pple
[18:27] <hfic> So, I lost the ability to sudo. I resolved that , but when I go to open a gui that needs a sudo I don't have the ability to choose the user to open with. It only lets me choose root. How can I resolve this? :/
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> hfic  it's either the logged in user, or sudo
[18:29] <hfic> MonkeyDust, I'm logged in as a user with sudo privs. I added my login to a group and forgot the -a. So I loaded a liveCD and added myself back to sudoers. Now I have this issue?
[18:31] <mutio> hfic, why not just undo everything and then do it right with the "-a"?
[18:32] <hfic> mutio, when you add a user to a group and don't use -a it removes the user from the sudoers group. .. So you can't just 'do it right'
[18:32] <Salonika-7> greedings from greece
[18:32] <Salonika-7> maria  ?
[18:32] <bona> hfic : try " exit"
[18:33] <hfic> bona, what? ... that doesn't make sense
[18:33] <hfic> http://imgur.com/hiVDt .. I've lost the ability to choose the userID I wish to install with. I can sudo now, but need this option for gui installs.
[18:34] <jilebedev> Hi - can someone point me to an article on how ubuntu synchronizes its system time in a networked environment?
[18:35] <jilebedev> How do I force re-synchronization with the Windows master time server? I noticed one of my ubuntu servers is off by a few minutes and that concerns me.
[18:35] <mutio> hfic, what if you create another user id for the task, and add it to the sudo'ers group with the "-a", the kill the first user id altogether?
[18:35] <akSeya> changed permission in ~/.local/share/Trash to 500 . now it will say I have no permission and will ask if I want to permanently remove the files
[18:35] <sokel> jilebedev: It has something to do with the ntp service. Look about restarting it, perhaps, assuming the windows master is in the configurations.
[18:35] <akSeya> it's better than having delete to automatically move files to trash
[18:35] <hfic> mutio, the -a is a command line flag. I'm editing the config .. so the flag doesn't matter
[18:35] <jilebedev> sokel: thanks, I'll read up on ntp.
[18:36] <akSeya> but I still think it's kind of absurd...
[18:36] <hfic> mutio, I think your missing the understanding of -a .. This flag KEEPS you in the group.
[18:37] <mutio> hifc, exactly. so do it right with another new userid, and then delete the user id everything has gotten messed up on
[18:38] <hilo> hello
[18:38] <Troy^> is there a way to get a status displayed when typing mv to move large files?
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> Troy^  use rsync --progress for large files
[18:38] <hfic> mutio, your asking me to create a whole new ID ... that's probably a very last option resort. Not a config edit.
[18:39] <TheLordOfTime> Troy^:  use rsync --progress if you want the "progress" of a move / change
[18:39] <Troy^> instead of mv? or use it on junction with mv?
[18:39] <belgianguy> so I installed timidity and got it to play a MIDI file
[18:40] <keshavbhatt> Troy get help with mv man
[18:40] <belgianguy> now I want to make my own "notes" in Java and hook that output to tilidity
[18:40] <belgianguy> impossible?
[18:40] <hilo> Troy^ you can also try this instead of the mv or rsync http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884093
[18:40] <hilo> Troy^ rsync is instead of and will give you the most verbose progress
[18:41] <Troy^> ok thanks
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> Troy^  use rsync --progress --remove-source-files for large files
[18:41] <keshavbhatt> hilo  r sync not used yet but zsync once to sync iso over http
[18:42] <hilo> Troy^ You can also use rsync to move between different computers which is nice for backups and whatnot (its intended purpose I think)
[18:42] <delinquentme> if I've got a VM that boots up into the command prompt ... how do I run the GUI ?
[18:42] <hilo> keshavbhatt what?
[18:42] <Troy^> alright thanks alot hilo
[18:42] <hilo> delinquentme: startx
[18:42] <dgrogan> In Ubuntu Software Center, when I search for droid in All Software, I get two packages: 1) Freedroid and 2) Android User Ausgabe.  If I search for fonts-droid, I get package: fonts-droid.  Why doesn't fonts-droid show up when I search for droid?
[18:42] <dgrogan> I'm on precise
[18:42] <keshavbhatt> nothing hilo
[18:43] <keshavbhatt> dgrogan me too
[18:43] <sokel> dgrogan: Because there's a dash. That's why.
[18:43] <keshavbhatt> hilo u know about zsync/
[18:43] <mutio> delinquentme, be sure to not startx from root
[18:44] <delinquentme> noted ... well so it says startx isnt installed
[18:44] <delinquentme> is that normal?
[18:44] <delinquentme> mutio, hilo
[18:44] <delinquentme> ^^
[18:44] <mutio> delinquentme, that would tend to imply you might not have X installed
[18:44] <sokel> Pretty typical, ubuntu changing things that shouldn't be changed.
[18:45] <delinquentme> mutio, I mean I'm just trying to see if im running some crazy niche version of 12.04
[18:46] <dgrogan> delinquentme: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:46] <mutio> delinquentme, are you getting into this virtual machine from like VMware or something/
[18:46] <delinquentme> mutio, yeap VM
[18:48] <mutio> delinquentme, then there's always the possibility it couldn't install X because the installer was prevented from detecting your hardware
[18:48] <FACEFACEFACE> I'm installing Ubuntu to a MacBook pro and got to the install screen. I got to the advanced options thing but I don't know how to partition off a swap and hardware partition.
[18:48] <FACEFACEFACE> *errr, harddrive partition. not hardware
[18:49] <gmagno> hello, I can't play sound with my laptop speaker, how to configure it?
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> FACEFACEFACE  what do you mean, "partition off a swap and a harddrive partition"?
[18:50] <gmagno> is there any procedure I can do to be sure that the speaker works and plays sound?
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> gmagno  start with alsamixer in a terminal
[18:51] <BBX> Hi
[18:51] <ska> Can I remove accounsservice and dbus from a server system?
[18:51] <FACEFACEFACE> monkeydust: Well I have a hard drive, and I need to partition off swap space on disk and space for actual usage, right?
[18:51] <Jordan_U> FACEFACEFACE: Why are you using the "advanced options"?
[18:52] <hilo> FACEFACEFACE: just make a partition for sway about the size of your RAM, and make the rest of the disk ext4 as the root
[18:52] <MonkeyDust> FACEFACEFACE  by "partition off", you mean create?
[18:52] <mutio> ska, dbus might be a good oneto keep
[18:52] <hilo> swap*
[18:52] <ska> mutio: why?
[18:52] <FACEFACEFACE> I'm using advanced because I can't do this automatically on Mac. At least, thats what documentation led me to believe.
[18:52] <gmagno> MonkeyDust, have done it
[18:53] <Jordan_U> FACEFACEFACE: The documentation is probably wrong. Which documentation are you referring to>
[18:53] <Jordan_U> ?
[18:53] <gmagno> MonkeyDust, speaker bar was already high. Beep bar wasn't Ive put it high
[18:53] <mutio> ska, offhand I vaguely remember it has some important system functions related to the hardware
[18:53] <gmagno> is there any command in the terminal to make a sound?
[18:53] <FACEFACEFACE> Mactel Support Wiki
[18:54] <Jordan_U> FACEFACEFACE: There are many of those. Please link to the specific page.
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> gmagno  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[18:54] <dj_ryan> so, latest precise gnome-settings-daemon is now renamed sir-crash-a-lot
[18:54] <ska> gmagno: beep
[18:54] <FACEFACEFACE> jordan_u: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[18:55] <wan26> dj_ryan, add the oneconf service to that
[18:55] <dj_ryan> wan26: amen
[18:55] <sokel> FACEFACEFACE: According to that you can probably just say 'use free remaining space'. Like honestly.
[18:56] <thedangler> so I installed ubuntu on my shitty hp and did some upgrades and now combiz doesn't work. Only thing that loads is the background image. Anything I can do?
[18:56] <FACEFACEFACE> Jordan_U: Not sure I understand. Where in the installer is that?
[18:56] <sokel> thedangler: What kind upgrades?
[18:57] <Jordan_U> FACEFACEFACE: Indeed, that guide repeats the common myth that the proper place to install grub's boot sector is to a partition. That is wrong. Unfortunately I need to go now, sorry.
[18:57] <FACEFACEFACE> Oh no! How do install, then?
[18:58] <dj_ryan> seriously though, latest update of precise has made gnome-settings-daemon crashtastic
[18:58] <MonkeyDust> dj_ryan  no rants here, please
[18:58] <Jordan_U> FACEFACEFACE: Following those directions will work, it's just less than ideal and prone to breaking (grub no longer able to boot).
[18:59] <FACEFACEFACE> How can I make it work, then?
[18:59] <gmagno> MonkeyDust, ska, play works. But "beep -f 1000 -l 4" does no sound (not sure it works like that though). Btw, I asking about speaker sounds because I installed centerim5 and I would like to hear some notification sounds everytime someone talks to me. Although I've enabled that feature, I can't here any sound...
[18:59] <sokel> FACEFACEFACE: Read the tutorial, for the last time.
[19:00] <thedangler> sokel I dunno i installed and it wanted to do upgrades, so I ran them.
[19:00] <gmagno> mates in #centerim does not help much either, they 25 people there.... :-/
[19:00] <sokel> thedangler: You mean updates. Could be a kernel problem.
[19:00] <sokel> thedangler: Boot a previous kernel.
[19:01] <thedangler> sokel: I did the windows easy install, cuz I was lazy
[19:01] <MonkeyDust> thedangler  wubi?
[19:02] <thedangler> yeah
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> thedangler  wubi is a pseudo-instalation inside windows
[19:05] <delinquentme> dgrogan, after installing ubuntu-desktop ... I've run " sudo ubuntu-desktop" and im getting "command not found" .. mind you this is after installing it
[19:05] <hwilde_> help my sound is stuttering 11.04  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d305cc96e83735bd7b448165d147189dcb72b971
[19:05] <delinquentme> maybe its not in the PATH?
[19:06] <dgrogan> delinquentme: after installing it just run startx
[19:06] <MonkeyDust> delinquentme  ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, it's not a command
[19:06] <sokel> thedangler: You did 'upgrades'. Reboot your system and select a kernel to boot. It's pretty simple.
[19:06] <delinquentme> oooo! things are happening!!!
[19:07] <delinquentme> Ok awesome!  Nowww what was this shared folder thing about
[19:07] <JoaoSantana> hi all
[19:10] <Alpha-Omega> why was there a new linux kernel released?
[19:10] <BlackBishop> why not ?
[19:10] <baizon> fixing?
[19:11] <sokel> Yeah, why not. Let's break things further.
[19:11] <Alpha-Omega> BlackBishop: was there a bug in the previous?
[19:11] <hilo> Alpha-0mega It is an active project..... thankfully
[19:11] <baizon> seems so
[19:11] <inter> ciao a tutti
[19:11] <BlackBishop> not all releases are bug-fixing releases !
[19:11] <inter> list
[19:11] <BlackBishop> maybe improvements .. new features ..
[19:11] <Alpha-Omega> hilo: no, just didn't think there'd be a new kernel version until 12.10
[19:11] <sokel> Install a kernel, leave it if it works. Like honestly.
[19:11] <BlackBishop> or just changes..
[19:11] <user_> hm
[19:12] <hilo> Alpha-Omega: kernel development does not alway coincide with Ubuntu releases
[19:12] <Alpha-Omega> it's just that ubuntu isn't rolling release, that's why I'm wondering why we're getting a new kernel if there's no new ubuntu release
[19:12] <hilo> Alpha-Omega: they are separate projects. Ubuntu makes use of the linux kernal
[19:12] <hilo> kernel
[19:12] <sokel> Kernels are always released periodically when they feel like it, obviously.
[19:12] <sokel> Which is why everything breaks so easily.
[19:12] <sokel> Can never have a stable revision.
[19:12] <Alpha-Omega> hilo: yeah, but the kernel is modified by ubuntu no?
[19:13] <sokel> Yes. And that's the problem. :)
[19:13] <hilo> Alpha-Omega yes, they try to stay up to date
[19:13] <hilo> Alpha-Omega Linux project releases new kernels, Ubuntu integrates it into their OS in an upgrade
[19:13] <ThinkT510> Alpha-Omega: if you are using the default repos then the kernel wouldn't be updated to a major new version
[19:13] <JoaoSantana> Talking about kernels, can someone point to a kernel build HOWTO to Ubuntu?
[19:13] <sokel> I prefer CentOS/RHEL kernels, personally. I have yet to run into a broken one, whether it's stock or from elrepo.
[19:14] <ThinkT510> !compile | JoaoSantana
[19:14] <BlackBishop> sokel: I prefer my gentoo one .. I have yet to need to upgrade it ..
[19:14] <ThinkT510> JoaoSantana: sorry, wrong factoid
[19:14] <ThinkT510> !kernel | JoaoSantana
[19:14] <sokel> BlackBishop: If you're going to compile your own kernel, go ahead. But if there's vulnerabilities that can destroy your system, you're at fault.
[19:14] <hilo> The different distros have different uses and strengths
[19:15] <Alpha-Omega> hilo: the only issue is that I'm on 3.2 right now and the latest is 3.5.3, something tells me that when I do a dist-upgrade, I won't be on 3.5.3, so why even randomly update the kernel
[19:15] <maze> hey everyone
[19:15] <BlackBishop> sokel: like you're gonna hold ubuntu responsible for something if it breaks on your system !
[19:15] <BlackBishop> :)
[19:15] <JoaoSantana> ThinkT510, thanks
[19:15] <sokel> BlackBishop: I don't, because I'm using an enterprise kernel.
[19:15] <maze> total noob here, was wondering which book to read first to teach me the basics, sysadmin, rutebook, or abs?
[19:15] <JoaoSantana> !Stages
[19:15] <BlackBishop> or for private use or the company ?
[19:16] <BlackBishop> I guess you're paying for that enterprise support ..
[19:16] <sokel> BlackBishop: I'm using a kernel that is based for Enterprise Level os's, that's RHEL/CentOS. Because at least that way, their releases don't cause my system to not boot up or modules not to load right or other various issues.
[19:16] <maze> someone? :P
[19:16] <sokel> BlackBishop: No, I don't.
[19:17] <sokel> BlackBishop: All free. It's obtainable from all the distros.
[19:17] <ThinkT510> Alpha-Omega: it isn't random updates, its mostly bug fixes and sometimes a few features (like newer drivers)
[19:17] <BlackBishop> well, still. enterprise or not, you will be responsible for updating it and the problem it causes even if a bug slips in ..
[19:17] <BlackBishop> :)
[19:17] <Alpha-Omega> yep, the new kernel release is 3.2.0-30 and I'm on 3.2.0-29, so it seems like a bugfix
[19:17] <sokel> BlackBishop: I've been using enterprise kernels for years. Never have issues.
[19:18] <BlackBishop> may it be gentoo or debian or anything else, you're liable for it unless you're paying and someone else is liable for those mistakes.
[19:18] <Alpha-Omega> doesn't the kernel get fragmented as hell damn
[19:18] <BlackBishop> I've been using my kernel for years ( with updates from time to time ), no problem ! :)
[19:18] <BlackBishop> no biggie to run 2 - 3 commands each time ..
[19:18] <BlackBishop> you're just as liable as I am for security problems.
[19:18] <Alpha-Omega> 217 MB of additional space will be used, what kind of kernel update is this lol
[19:18] <sokel> BlackBishop: It's a wonder why so many people after a kernel upgrade on these new distros have problems. Obviously the devs are stupid :)
[19:19] <hilo> Alpha-Omega: it isn't random, there is a pipeline
[19:19] <BlackBishop> obviously :)
[19:19] <BlackBishop> never ran into any problems on any distro so far .. may it be sles/fedora/debian/ubuntu/gentoo/bsd ( yes, I do actually use most of them on different servers/desktops )
[19:19] <Alpha-Omega> 6 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 51.2 MB of archives. After this operation, 217 MB of additional disk space will be used.
[19:20] <Alpha-Omega> BlackBishop: Arch f**ked me over and that's when I switched over to Ubuntu
[19:20] <centrelink> Alpha-Omega: you f**ked yourself over by not reading the documentation
[19:20] <Alpha-Omega> centrelink: nope
[19:21] <gordonjcp> heh
[19:21] <ThinkT510> centrelink +1
[19:21] <gordonjcp> Arch just began annoying me
[19:21] <gordonjcp> so I switched back to Ubuntu
[19:21] <ozette> How can I get permission to create dirs on a remote server, I'm trying to bring over files but I get denied.
[19:21] <ozette> Ive tried filezilla, now just doing sftp command
[19:21] <gordonjcp> ozette: you need to ensure that the user you're logging into on the remote server has permission to write the files
[19:21] <Alpha-Omega> centrelink: that day I didn't update or anything, I click on an icon to change theme and boom X crashes, I try changing DE, nothing, all this from changing my icon theme in KDE
[19:22] <ozette> gordonjcp, it's my own user, the admin. How can I get sudo rights?
[19:22] <gordonjcp> Arch is a great distro for people who want to fiddle about with tiny details, but for experienced users it's not much good
[19:22] <gordonjcp> ozette: What exactly are you trying to do?
[19:22] <Alpha-Omega> gordonjcp: Arch with it's AUR, annoying as hell, the package manager is quick and somewhat powerful, but the management sucks
[19:23] <guntbert> !ot
[19:23] <BlackBishop> Alpha-Omega: what centrelink said.
[19:23] <ozette> goronjcp, I sftp'd into my server, It's running a website. I want to bring over files to the www folder, but it is heavily protected
[19:23] <gordonjcp> Alpha-Omega: AUR is really good, I love the package management
[19:23] <Antzzz> Does anyone here have an IMEI calculator to create me an unlock code for my LG-P930 ?
[19:23] <ozette> gordonjcp, I want to update some files
[19:23] <Alpha-Omega> BlackBishop: changing the icon theme, I need to read the documentation for that? lol
[19:23] <gordonjcp> Alpha-Omega: I just don't have the time or inclination to fiddle about with pointless crap
[19:23] <centrelink> aur is leaps and bounds ahead of googling for a ppa or whatever on ubuntu
[19:23] <gordonjcp> ozette: okay, where are they?
[19:23] <BlackBishop> you need to read docs for everything dude
[19:24] <gordonjcp> BlackBishop: ... and that's why I no longer use Arch ;-)
[19:24] <ozette> gordonjcp, Local they're in my home folder, but I want to bring them over to my remote's www folder
[19:24] <Alpha-Omega> BlackBishop: ehh screw that, I want to actually use the computer, not have it as a hobby
[19:24] <gordonjcp> BlackBishop: I'm not interested in trawling through pages and pages and pages of badly-written rubbish in a foreign language
[19:24] <ozette> gordonjcp, But I don't know how to gain permission, I've tried so many ways to get files into that folder ..
[19:24] <Kishi> Recently, I've performed a dist-upgrade. In some magical way it managed to screw up the X server, and everytime I'm booting up, I'm pushed into console instead.
[19:24] <delinquentme> the best way to share files between a local system is with ubuntu1?
[19:25] <gordonjcp> ozette: right, so you're deploying to (say) /var/www ?
[19:25] <delinquentme> That sounds messed?
[19:25] <ozette> gordonjcp, yes
[19:25] <Alpha-Omega> so is there any reason this kernel update used 217MB of additional space on my HD, curious
[19:25] <Kishi> I don't even know where to look for the cause.
[19:25] <gordonjcp> ozette: tbh the quickest and easiest way would be to scp them across to your homedir on the remote, then ssh in, sudo cp ~/myfiles/* /var/www
[19:25] <gordonjcp> ozette: look into proper web deployment stuff like fabric, if you're doing this a lot
[19:26] <DogLover> How come Win7 doesn't recognize Ubuntu 11.04 computer on my wireless network?
[19:26] <ozette> gordonjcp, I see
[19:26] <ThinkT510> Alpha-Omega: you sure its just the kernel being updated?
[19:26] <gordonjcp> ozette: you can also fiddle about with setting group permissions on /var/www but that gets a bit scary
[19:26] <BlackBishop> gordonjcp: your problem then ! you sleep as good as your bed is done ! ( YOU chose your distro ! )
[19:26] <ozette> gordonjcp, Isnt there a way to do it directly? Is it so heavily protected?
[19:26] <hilo> Alpha-Omega: there are a lot of packages that get updated when you update a kernel version
[19:26] <gordonjcp> BlackBishop: exactly.  I *like* Arch, I just can't live with it as a daily driver
[19:26] <Lesterwood> guys, i'm in college (20) and want alcohol, but the drinking age is 21, how do i get alcohol?
[19:26] <gordonjcp> ozette: you could do something like add yourself to the www-data group and set the directory group writeable, but this may have security issues
[19:27] <centrelink> Lesterwood: install gentoo
[19:27] <gordonjcp> Lesterwood: #ubuntu-offtopic, and live in a sane country
[19:27] <BlackBishop> you need more practice ! ;)
[19:27] <Alpha-Omega> ThinkT510: that and glib-networking glib-networking-common glib-networking-services
[19:27] <hilo> DogLover: what do you mean, 'recognize'? What exactly are you trying to do?
[19:27] <ozette> gordonjcp, Yes I've thought of that, and thought it would make an unwanted risk
[19:28] <gordonjcp> ozette: well there you go
[19:28] <DogLover> The ubuntu PC doesn't show up on the list of PC's on my network on my Win7 PC. I am wanting to share a folder from Ubuntu desktop
[19:28] <gordonjcp> ozette: you could do something clever with git ;-)
[19:28] <Kishi> So... any clues what could have happened to the X server?
[19:28] <Alpha-Omega> hilo: yeah but if each minor bugfix release added 217MB of additional HD Space, the Linux kernel would be like 10 TB by now
[19:28] <ozette> gordonjcp, ok but what is "fabric"?
[19:28] <DogLover> Is there a 'Make Discoverable' option in Ubuntu?
[19:28] <BlackBishop> Alpha-Omega: old ones get deleted ..
[19:28] <hilo> Alpha-Omega: not all releases do, some actually free space as the packages that support that version fluctuate in size
[19:29] <ThinkT510> !samba | DogLover
[19:29] <Alpha-Omega> BlackBishop: I kind of forgot about that, you're right
[19:29] <gordonjcp> ozette: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.4.3/index.html
[19:29] <ThinkT510> BlackBishop: actually, you'd need to delete them through the package manager yourself
[19:30] <ozette> gordonjcp, thanks alot
[19:30] <gordonjcp> ozette: it is awesome
[19:30] <DogLover> Ok, but how come the Ubuntu PC doesn't show up on the list of PC's on the network?
[19:31] <ozette> gordonjcp, seems nice
[19:31] <hilo> DogLover: it will once samba is installed and configured to allow that
[19:32] <hilo> DogLover: Samba is the service on your Ubuntu machine that listens and responds to your Windows machine when it goes searching
[19:32] <DogLover> ok
[19:32] <DogLover> I will try that
[19:33] <atrius> this is extremely annoying... on boot.. vgscan appears to fail.. it gives up as there is no root.. drops to busybox.. where upon i do a vgscan that immediately works... ctrl+d and it boots normally (more or less)
[19:33] <Kishi> OK, so, If I can't find help here, could anyone please at least recommend me another channel where I could possibly look for help?
[19:33] <Kishi> It's a bit sad without GUI, having only console to feed eyes on.
[19:33] <ThinkT510> Kishi: what do you need help with?
[19:33] <Kishi> I've just performed a dist-upgrade.
[19:33] <guntbert> Kishi: you are in the proper channel here, just be patient please
[19:34] <Kishi> In some magical way it managed to screw up X server.
[19:34] <Kishi> Now every time I boot, X server fails to load
[19:34] <FlowRiser> Kishi, it happened to me too
[19:34] <Kishi> And I get a console session instead
[19:34] <ThinkT510> Kishi: probably because of the graphics driver
[19:35] <FlowRiser> Kishi, it is the graphics driver; i could only fix it by reinstalling ubuntu
[19:35] <Kishi> Might be. I've had MUCH issues with the NVIDIA driver I've got
[19:35] <Kishi> Actually, I couldn't even install it properly
[19:36] <FlowRiser> Kishi, it happened the same to me too; i tried installing the drivers, but the only one which works is the original one that ubuntu comes with O.o
[19:36] <Kishi> Well, I've got 2 cards on my comp
[19:36] <Kishi> One built-in which sucks, and an NVIDIA one
[19:36] <Kishi> I got a lot of trouble installing the driver on Kubuntu
[19:36] <FlowRiser> Kishi, what built-in card do you have, ATI ?
[19:36] <hilo> Kishi: what version did you upgrade to
[19:36] <Kishi> I don't know, really.
[19:37] <FlowRiser> Kishi, if it's ATI than it might be a bug O.o
[19:37] <FlowRiser> Kishi, cause it happened to me too
[19:37] <lickalott> anyone here used UUID to mount in fstab?
[19:37] <dr_willis> lickalott:  the default fstab does it thay way.. so all ubuntu users do..
[19:38] <Kishi> Anyway NVIDIA X Server Settings greet me with a pop-up message that I don't have X server configured for use with the card or something like that
[19:38] <hilo> lickalott: yus and you should
[19:38] <dr_willis> !uuid
[19:38] <Kishi> Even though I've run their nvidia-xconfig script
[19:38] <Kishi> Which modifies xorg.conf
[19:38] <Kishi> So it would run NVIDIA drivers
[19:38] <jiffe98> anyone use weechat?  I seem to have problems with the display getting messed up when people send non-ascii characters
[19:38] <lickalott> trying, but it's not working.
[19:38] <lickalott> does this look right? http://paste2.org/p/2194616
[19:39] <Kishi> If it's issue with graphics card, I guess using old xorg.conf file could do the trick
[19:39] <Kishi> Too bad I didn't back it up -_-
[19:39] <dr_willis> jiffe98:  never noticed the issue. there is a weechat channel also
[19:40] <dr_willis> i dont need an xorg.conf for my normal nvidia setup. just if im using twinview
[19:40] <ozette> At some directories I get the message: "Couldn't canonicalise: No such file or directory", How can I get it to create those folders?
[19:40] <ozette> when doing sftp
[19:40] <guntbert> lickalott: what is not working?
[19:41] <hilo> lickalott: you are missing trailing " 0 0" for your nfs entries
[19:41] <pirx> i just installed a 12.04 server with a bunch of vlan interfaces. all those work fine. but i cant get name resolution working. i have set the name server to "8.8.8.8" (google). but when i try to do a "host whatever.com", i see no packets sent out from the server at all... i have tcpdumped all interfaces while doing this (udp port 53)
[19:41] <owerty> who can help to partition hdd for win7?
[19:41] <DogLover> Hey! I found a method waaaay easier to get access to shared folders! Just share the folder on Win7 and access it from Ubuntu.
[19:41] <Kishi> I've even registered on Nvnews vbulletin regarding this issue
[19:41] <Kishi> It's been more than a week and they still didn't activate my account
[19:41] <pirx> i can do a "dig @8.8.8.8 whatever.com" just fine though
[19:41] <lickalott> guntbert rebooted and no mounts.  when i mount -a I get "mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format"
[19:41] <ansii> sir can anyone help me with django installation
[19:41] <ansii> echo /home/ansi/django-trunk > /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django.pth
[19:41] <hilo> DogLover: lol okay but the shared folder is on Windows, not your Linux box
[19:42] <ansii> echo /home/ansi/django-trunk > /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django.pth   Permission denied
[19:42] <louiemat> could anyone tell me how to put a driver on the hard drive  - what command to use? (a dpkg  -i or -i) for debian Ubuntu 12.04
[19:42] <Pici> ansii: echo /home/ansi/django-trunk | sudo tee /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django.pth
[19:42] <hilo> lickalott: use hostname:/path
[19:42] <guntbert> lickalott: I never knew that you can use uuids for nfs shares too, where did they come from?
[19:42] <DJones> lickalott: My NFS drives are mounted like 192.168.0.9:/media/music /media/Music nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
[19:42] <hilo> lickalott: or IP Address:/path
[19:42] <Kishi> So...
[19:42] <DogLover> That is fine. I didn't really care which one it was on.
[19:42] <pirx> anyone knows how to troubleshoot name resolution issues? (there are no iptables rules at all, yet)
[19:43] <DogLover> I needed this for a render farm setup, so this will work fine!
[19:43] <Kishi> You mean the only way to get X server back is reinstalling my OS? -_-
[19:43] <ansii> PICI!!! thanks a lot
[19:43] <jgcampbell300> hey guys ... i need to make life a bit easyer today ... anyone know of a all in one pice of software that ... is graphical , netmap, port map, flowchart .. type of system ... im looking for something i can visualy design my network with tools to monitor and administer it when im done deploying it ... been using zenmap but would like to see something a bit more graphical
[19:43] <hilo> Yeah UUID doesn't make sense for nfs mounting. lol sorry
[19:44] <DogLover> See ya!
[19:45] <lickalott> brb... i'll explain
[19:46] <Kishi> Wow, a single update screwed up whole X server. I really believe there's some easy way to fix it tho
[19:46] <sokel> Pretty typical.
[19:46] <louiemat> FloodBot1 -  could you tell me how to put a driver on the hard drive  - what command to use? (a dpkg  -i or -i) for debian
[19:46] <ansii> Pici pls help with this one also

[19:47] <BluesKaj> Kishi, have you tried the recovery kernel , then choose "repair packages"  from the dialog
[19:47] <ThinkT510> jkeats: look at the space before precise
[19:47] <Kishi> BluesKaj: Recovery kernel?
[19:48] <BluesKaj> yes the in grub , Kishi
[19:48] <Kishi> Well, I've had revovery mode option in GRUB
[19:48] <Kishi> I did try it
[19:48] <Kishi> And used some fixing options
[19:48] <Kishi> But it didn't help.
[19:48] <jkeats> should be ubuntu/dists/precise/ ...?
[19:48] <BluesKaj> correction : ' in the grub menu , Kishi
[19:48]  * jkeats looks at ec2 :/
[19:48] <guntbert> Kishi: you could also try to use one of the older kernels
[19:49] <BluesKaj> Kishi, , but did you choose the repair packages option
[19:49] <Kishi> I've selected some dpkg option
[19:49] <Kishi> I don't remember, really
[19:50] <pirx> hmm, i just realized that DNS queries get routed back to localhost (tcpdumped interface 'lo') on this newly installed 12.04 server. what could be the cause of that?
[19:50] <Zepo> Hey Guys, I ined a bit help. I installed KDE on my U 12.04 , but it didnt worked well and was uglys
[19:50] <Zepo> now I removed it but I still got the KDE login interface
[19:50] <jkeats> what should that deb line read?
[19:50] <louiemat> amy_ coulod you help me could you tell me how to put a driver on the hard drive  - what command to use? (a dpkg  -i or -i) for debian
[19:50] <yeats> pirx: 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' - what's there?
[19:50] <Zepo> How do i colplete remove KDE/stuff from ubuntu ?
[19:50] <Zepo> complete*
[19:50] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I did pretty much everything that didn't involve playing around with the console
[19:51] <jkeats> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise main # ?
[19:51] <gordonjcp> louiemat: a driver for what?
[19:51] <yeats> Zepo: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
[19:51] <BluesKaj> Kishi, what's your graphics card ?
[19:51] <louiemat> scanner - Epson v30
[19:51] <makezan> hey guys i have a question about ssh. I'm trying to setup a two factor authentication for ssh into my machine. I got paranoid after I saw several IPs trying to connect with different users that I didn't know. So I did the following in /etc/sshd_config ,  AllowUsers me     PasswordAuthentication no    PermitRootLogin no    . the issue now is that I am not able to ssh-copy-id over to my server.
[19:52] <lickalott> hilo, guntbert, DJones, do it all started a long time ago in a galaxy far far away....  (serious face)  When I installed it was against sda.  i have 3 500GB drives in this system that show up as sdb sdc sdd.  I have them auto mounted to /media/<foldernamehere> and everything was fantastic until i rebooted.  once I rebooted i noticed that /dev/sdb1 (which was mounted to  /media/share1) was now
[19:52] <lickalott> the device that hosted the /boot partition.
[19:52] <makezan> Bad port 'umask 077; test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh ; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
[19:52] <pirx> yeats: nothing. resolvconf (some new thing) is used. and i have "nameserver 8.8.8.8" in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original
[19:52] <gordonjcp> louiemat: google for "epson V30 ubuntu", grab the first likely-looking result
[19:52] <louiemat> I've had this installed but had to reinstall system
[19:53] <wan26> makezan, you changed the default port it listens on right?
[19:53] <lickalott> So...in an effort to not have the /dev stuff swapped around, i started to use the UUID instead.  now they won't mount at all
[19:53] <makezan> yes i did wan26
[19:53] <wan26> sorry just checking
[19:53] <delinquentme> So I would like to change the permissions of the home dir ( ~/  ) of a VM that I've got running on my computer ... is this difficult?  I was unable to automatically add the permissions
[19:53] <ssta> makezan: helps if you do the ssh-copy-id before you disallow password auth...
[19:53] <makezan>  wan id I try to  ssh-copy-id  -p XXX
[19:53] <hilo> lickalott: okay but there is no NFS involved.
[19:53] <Zepo> yeats This only help for k/x/l buntu or not ?
[19:53] <hwilde_> help my sound is stuttering 11.04  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d305cc96e83735bd7b448165d147189dcb72b971
[19:53] <lickalott> all of those paths are in my exports file
[19:54] <guntbert> lickalott: you only use uuids for local drives, do you really have a nfs server?
[19:54] <yeats> Zepo: you're trying to get back to regular ubuntu, no?
[19:54] <jiffe98> anyone know a simple way for me to test unicode through ssh?
[19:54] <Kishi> BluesKaj: Basically, none at this time. I have 2 cards, one old and weak, and a new NVIDIA card. I was trying to install drivers for the NVIDIA card, and I did, only to see that for some reason they can't associate themselves with the X server
[19:54] <lickalott> they are all local drives guntbert
[19:54] <Zepo> yeats I only want to remove KDE
[19:54] <makezan> ssta wan26 my keys have a password too. does that matter?
[19:54] <guntbert> lickalott: its not useful to mount local drives via nfs
[19:54] <hilo> lickalott: you shouldn't use exports or nfs.
[19:54] <yeats> Zepo: how did you install KDE?
[19:54] <Zepo> sudo apt-get install kde-standarts
[19:54] <Zepo> standards*
[19:54] <Zepo> or omething*
[19:54] <lickalott> OHHHHHH...... you're talking about the nfs for type
[19:54] <hilo> lickalott: mount them by uuid and use their actual filesystem type to mount and NOT NFS
[19:54] <louiemat> I t is esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.0-1_amd64.deb- how woyld you enter this
[19:55] <ssta> makezan: no, that's fine...but you have to do it *before* you lock out password auth...otherwise it can't copy the ID
[19:55] <wan26> makezan, no it doesnt matter the more layers of protection you can deploy, the better
[19:55] <Kishi> BluesKaj: The nvidia-xconfig script I was instructed to run has changed the xorg.conf file, to use the NVIDIA card instead of the old one. But since It didn't work, my OS simply didn't use any card at all
[19:55] <delinquentme>  " Could not change the permissions of folder bety "  .. is what im getting .. when doing the right click > sharing options > share this folder method
[19:56] <gyre007> if im setting up sudoers giving nopasswd access to 2 commands, does there have to be a comma between them or jus space ? ie NOPASSWD: cmd1 cmd2 ?
[19:56] <yeats> Zepo: I'm not sure then - you could try the command listed on the site, though some of those packages may not be installed
[19:56] <BluesKaj> kishi so you installed nvidia-current driver ?
[19:56] <hilo> delinquentme: press alt-F2 and type in "gksudo nautilus" Then try using that specific window (it is running as root)
[19:56] <makezan> wan26 ssta  and just wondering, when i say AllowUsers UserA, does that mean user on the client has to be UserA, or when i'm connecting I specify UserA@IP:PORT
[19:57] <hariom> I am logged into a non sudoer user. I am trying to open a file using gedit. I get this error: (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[19:57] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I've downloaded the driver from their website, it did match my model, I did follow their instructions, and yet something failed.
[19:57] <louiemat> gordenjcp - did you see my reply?
[19:57] <lickalott> k, no errors that time hilo
[19:58] <ssta> gyre007: comma
[19:58] <Kishi> BluesKaj: Well, maybe if I run the installation script again, I will at least get the X server back
[19:58] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I doubt it will be that simple though.
[19:58] <PRabyte> id like to join an ubuntu cloud, is there a program i load, or do i need to install a cloud capable desktop? also, what are the other promoted options like - non enterprise, just to test here with a few computers.
[19:58] <pirx> ah, resolved! found my problem! while fixing the vlan stuff i had removed the "dns-nameserver" lines in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:58] <atrius> i'm about to give up on ubuntu on this server
[19:58] <hilo> lickalott: win.
[19:58] <lickalott> true!   thanks!!
[19:58] <BluesKaj> Kishi, did you reboot immediately after installing the nvidia driver , becuase if X is running when you install it , the driver won't enable until you do
[19:59] <atrius> seems that i have to reboot it at least twice to get it to come up.. as opposed to just dropping to a blank black screen and sitting there
[19:59] <makezan> ssh-copy-id -p PORT USER@IP
[19:59] <makezan> Bad port 'umask 077; test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh ; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
[20:00] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I did reboot my system while still in console mode. I've ran nvidia-xconfig on X server though, but I doubt it matters.
[20:00] <PRabyte> at first glance there seems to be a lot of diff programs related to cloud and how to use it an such
[20:00] <BluesKaj> Kishi, ok , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  ,in the terminal , then reboot
[20:00] <guntbert> makezan: did you actually type PORT?
[20:00] <PRabyte> juju for example.
[20:01] <makezan> lol no i'm hidding port and user ID just for sake of it. guntbert
[20:01] <Kishi> BluesKaj: K. Since I'm on Windows now, and I'm not using any VMs, I'll have to reboot now, so I'll be back in a few minutes
[20:01] <makezan> anything in Capital letters has a value. guntbert
[20:01] <isbric> how to redirect output from time? ie time ls 2>&1 > out
[20:02] <BluesKaj> Kishi, don't worry about xconfig for now , it should auto generate
[20:02] <shade34321> how would I go about adding NIS users while installing ubuntu, during installation instead of providing a user I just supply the NIS info
[20:02] <brok> I'm trying to set up an FTP server in ubuntu. All signs keep pointing towards vsftpd. I'm trying to edit the config file but it won't let me- I'm guessing it wants root password, which I have, but no prompt comes up. What do I do? ALternately, is there a gui-based FTP server like Filezilla I can use?
[20:03] <louiemat> Kishi - I had to rebuild my install aster nvidia problems - I read some ware  that nvidia is aware of the problems with Ubuntu
[20:03] <hariom> I am logged into a non sudoer user. I am trying to open a file using gedit. I get this error: (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[20:03] <guntbert> makezan: according to man ssh-copy-id there is no option -p
[20:03] <makezan> so I figured that the problem was I was supposed to type it this way. ssh-copy-id '-p PORT USER@ID'                                                      but I get Permission denied (publickey).
[20:04] <hariom> How to fix it and allow to open gedit
[20:04] <Zepo> How do I change the login screen in U12.04
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> Zepo  change in what way?
[20:04] <makezan> http://mikegerwitz.com/ssh-copy-id-and-sshd-port/ guntbert
[20:04] <Zepo> From KDE to gnome 3
[20:04] <carter_> can anyone help me i downloaded minecraft and now i am getting a error message
[20:04] <guntbert> hariom: do all other applications work?
[20:04] <zykotick9> hariom: are you logged in through ssh?
[20:04] <Oranger> carter_: #minecraft
[20:05] <carter_> thats a channel?
[20:05] <Oranger> no, that's a cat !
[20:05] <hariom> guntbert, zykotick9: Not ssh. Its on my local system
[20:05] <carter_> well im new at linux and so far the people helping at it r jerks
[20:05] <dr_willis> # designates an irc channel
[20:05] <guntbert> makezan: so you found it? all well?
[20:06] <zykotick9> hariom: do other gui apps work?  Are you sure you aren't sshed?
[20:06] <Oranger> carter_: Ok, but minecraft is diferent than linux ;)
[20:06] <dr_willis> Minecraftbuntu
[20:06] <Oranger> carter_: They will more be able to help you there : #minecraft
[20:06] <carter_> so why do you have a channel for it? obviously its important
[20:06] <BluesKaj> carter_,which linux , and which jerks ?
[20:07] <hariom> guntbert, zykotick9:  I am on a local sysetm (NOT ON SSH). I have created a user which is not in sudoer list. If I use gedit for opening a file, I get that error. I have GUI as I have installed xdm xorg and gnome-core installed.
[20:07] <Oranger> ouf, he left..
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> so it goes Oranger
[20:08] <BluesKaj> don't need hisa"attitude " anyway
[20:08] <hariom> guntbert, zykotick9: Other apps like network configuraiton/ proxy setting etc works well
[20:08] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I've had nvidia-current installed allready
[20:08] <Kishi> BluesKaj: Homever I've ran the driver installing script again
[20:08] <hariom> How to fix this error:  (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[20:08] <Kishi> Kishi: And it worked.
[20:09] <BluesKaj> what script , Kishi ? do you mean the command ?
[20:09] <Kishi> BluesKaj: The nvidia driver installation script I've downloaded from their website earlier
[20:09] <EricJ> A newbie question if there ever was one: my user is not the owner of a directory, but member of the group that owns it. Permissions on the folder is 775. Why can't I create files in that folder?
[20:09] <guntbert> hariom: how did you invoke gedit - from command line?
[20:10] <EricJ> (I obviously want only members of that group to have write permissions)
[20:10] <hariom> guntbert: yea
[20:10] <guntbert> EricJ: did you log out/in after adding the user to that group?
[20:10] <EricJ> guntbert: yes.
[20:10] <BluesKaj> Kishi, so you have X running and you're logged into the desktop on ubuntu?
[20:10] <Kishi> BluesKaj: It appears so.
[20:11] <Kishi> BluesKaj: And I don't know how the hell it happened
[20:11] <BluesKaj> ok Kishi , good
[20:11] <Kishi> BluesKaj: But the drivers appear to be finally synced with the X server!
[20:11] <BluesKaj> rebooting helps the dust settle sometimes , Kishi :)
[20:12] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I'd say it was reinstalling :D
[20:12] <guntbert> hariom: I am fishing around: does it work for other users?
[20:12] <Kishi> BluesKaj: I suspect that dist-upgrade had some  update for X server or whatever,   and I had to reinstall drivers after that
[20:13] <Kishi> BluesKaj: And now everything works like a charm.
[20:13] <BlackBishop> intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller, is this sata 1 or sata 2 ? :|
[20:14] <Kishi> Well, thanks.
[20:14] <BlackBishop> any ideas anybody ?
[20:14] <hariom> guntbert: I worked. I tried: xhost +
[20:14] <Kishi> See you 'round, guys.
[20:14] <isbric> how to redirect output from time? ie time ls 2>&1 > out
[20:14] <guntbert> EricJ: please pastebin the output of  id; ls -l /var/www/ubuntu-auto.cfg
[20:14] <BluesKaj> well , Kishi,  frankly I haven't much luck with the nvidia-drivers from their website ...prefer the drivers that are tried and tested for ubuntu ...I hope it sticks and works well for you
[20:14] <coleman> help installing nvidia card?
[20:14] <brok> Urk, I apparently disconnected.
[20:15] <brok> Anyway, anyone have any thoughts regarding FTP hosting?
[20:15] <guntbert> hariom: xhost + is very insecure ™ and should not be necessary
[20:15] <wan26> Same here, compiling the proprietary nvidia drivers gave me more issues, the ubuntu default works fine
[20:15] <jcromartie> what does it mean when I see files in my filesystem that are executable, but the shell complains with "No such file or directory" when I try to execute them?
[20:16] <jcromartie> the files show up as dark gray in ls
[20:16] <wan26> did you type it like ./progname?
[20:16] <makezan> guntbert i still get Permission denied (publickey).
[20:16] <makezan> I wonder what the issue is
[20:16] <zykotick9> jcromartie: just a guess, but you have a 64bit OS trying a 32bit executable
[20:16] <guntbert> jcromartie: you must give the path to that file, in the current directory it be like  ./somefile
[20:16] <jcromartie> I know how to run programs.
[20:16] <jcromartie> zykotick9: I think you're on to something
[20:17] <guntbert> makezan: did you set the sshd to acccept public key auth?
[20:17] <jcromartie> zykotick9: in fact, it's a JRE bundled with a server product
[20:17] <jcromartie> zykotick9: file yields "jre/bin/java: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped"
[20:18] <makezan> guntbert I think so. isn't it PubkeyAuthentication yes
[20:18] <designbybeck> anyone else notice that Amazon updated their player for videos again and it broke it for Linux....again....
[20:18] <designbybeck> Anyone know a workaround?
[20:19] <zykotick9> jcromartie: sorry man, i have NO idea how 32/64bit works in ubuntu with multiarch.  (in old versions i could help, not now)
[20:19] <guntbert> makezan: yes, correct - next step ssh into the system normally and check the permissions and contents of .ssh/authorized_keys
[20:19] <jcromartie> zykotick9: dang… now I wish the problem was just me not knowing how to execute a program :P
[20:19] <Guest47847> hia
[20:20] <makezan> -rw-r--r--  1 USERA USERA  740 Sep  5 15:47 id_rsa.pub
[20:20] <makezan> guntbert it was a security of 740 is that too restricted?
[20:21] <guntbert> makezan: no, too open, it needs 700  if I remember correctly
[20:21] <wan26> i know it's probably not this simple, but 'java [prog]'
[20:21] <guntbert> makezan: not the id file!
[20:22] <makezan> guntbert the folder?
[20:23] <guntbert> makezan: no the file authorized_keys
[20:23] <guntbert> makezan: actually it needs 400
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> makezan  type ls ~/.ssh/
[20:24] <guntbert> MonkeyDust: he needs ls -l :)
[20:25] <makezan> http://pastie.org/4670071 guntbert MonkeyDust
[20:26] <guntbert> makezan: is that on the remoote machine? then its fine, check the contents of that file
[20:26] <okay> "Moreover, although the Ubuntu OS is free and open source software, Ubuntu Cola should not be confused with "open source" colas such as OpenCola."
[20:26] <makezan> hey I'm also missing a logic. And bare with me if this sounds stupid, but if on the client, you can just ssh-copy-id that means anyone can just copy their id to your server and allow themselves to ssh into it. what's the flaw in that logic?
[20:27] <dr_willis> makezan:  if they have a user account...
[20:27] <guntbert> makezan: you need to be able to log in to that account in the first place
[20:27] <kurtwp_> makezan: you first need to get into the server to copy the rsa_id keys over
[20:27] <dr_willis> you still login the first time
[20:28] <StephenM|2> hi there...  Would anyone be kind enough to help with a networking issue??
[20:29] <makezan> kurtwp_ guntbert dr_willis i'm not at machine I was connected through vnc and lost the connection due to a copy paste bug remmina has. but I will switch the config to allow passwords first, then try to copy ssh id, then disable passwords, then try to ssh.
[20:30] <zorgborg> hi guys, ./configure doesn't work in the (extracted tar) gimp directory, any ideas why would this be?
[20:30] <penguinman> can you pastebin the error zorgborg?
[20:30] <micom> hi, i have installed ubuntu last days, my roommates are complaining on lags, every 20 seconds ping increase for a second and get normal, when i turn off computer problem dissapeare
[20:31] <BarkingFish> zorgborg, could you post up the results of ls -alh on that directory, please - stick them on the pastebin :)
[20:31] <martin_> hey guys, I have this problem that's driving me insane. Every third or so mouse click registers as a double click. this makes windows maximise when I intend to move them, among other things.
[20:31] <zorgborg> penguinman: theres: bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[20:31] <BarkingFish> micom - are you using a shared internet connection?
[20:32] <martin_> I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with all the latest updates
[20:32] <zorgborg> then sudo ./configure says command not found
[20:32] <micom> BarkingFish: yes
[20:32] <penguinman> ok, so it doesn't have a configure script then
[20:32] <micom> BarkingFish: one network connection for 3 computers
[20:32] <BarkingFish> ok - how are you all connecting, micom? wireless or cable?
[20:33] <micom> BarkingFish: cables
[20:33] <zorgborg> BarkingFish: you mean with -d for just the directory or for its contents?
[20:33] <micom> there was no problem with win7 BarkingFish
[20:33] <kurtwp_> micom: check for dup IP
[20:33] <micom> its looks like undefined app generete a lot of network traffic every 20 sec
[20:33] <penguinman> zorgborg, try this "ls | grep configure" and see if any results pop up
[20:33] <BarkingFish> zorgborg, just the whole directory, cd into it, zorgborg - and type ls -alh   then copy the output to paste.ubuntu.com
[20:33] <micom> kurtwp_: its only 3 comp there is no conf
[20:34] <guntbert> makezan: thats a sound plan - Good luck!
[20:34] <kurtwp_> micom: are the IP static
[20:34] <makezan> guntbert thanks. it should work I think
[20:34] <micom> kurtwp_: dhcp
[20:35] <zorgborg> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187799/
[20:36] <zorgborg> penguinman: that gives two files configure (bold and pink) and configure.ac (sam)
[20:36] <penguinman> ok, i see the problem, try this "chmod +x ./configure"
[20:36] <makezan> which brings me to my second question. Anyone knows how to have vino-server start before I can login into machine. Right now the way it works is, when i'm sshed into my machine and I reboot through ssh. the vnc server will not start. until I am physically there to login. vnc4server kept giving me this grey screen with check boxes. any other utility you guys recommend?
[20:37] <thiebaude> im trying to play rhythmbox, after a few minutes it say :Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder
[20:37] <kurtwp_> micom: dhcp - you can still have a dup IP - the dhcp server can still hand out the same IP to two PCs if it thinks the other pc released it
[20:37] <thiebaude> required plugin could not be found
[20:37] <micom> every 20 sec? kurtwp_
[20:37] <Mir09> hi all
[20:37] <zorgborg> penguinman: cheers its working now :) is that likely because I'd dwnloaded n extracted on another comp and transferred it to this one via usb?
[20:38] <micom> ifconfig
[20:38] <micom> ups
[20:38] <thiebaude> it searches for the plugin, but can't find it, wonder if anyone could help, thanks
[20:38] <wan26> yeah that's happened to me zorg
[20:38] <penguinman> zorgborg, yeah, configure wasn't marked as executible was the issue
[20:38] <StephenM|2> kurtwp micom I get the same thing happening here to.  It seems to be a fairly recent occurance.
[20:38] <kurtwp_> micom:  you can download wireshark and see what is taking up all the bandwidth
[20:38] <micom> kurtwp_:  i will, i see it on "system monitor" graph
[20:39] <micom> there is like ________^_______^________^
[20:39] <penguinman> zorgborg, "sh ./configure" would also have worked
[20:39] <zorgborg> penguinman: cheers ill take note of that :)
[20:39] <wan26> thiebaude, i think you need gstreamer plugins
[20:39] <micom> StephenM|2: have you find a solution?
[20:39] <micom> found
[20:39] <thiebaude> wan26, software center says they are installed already
[20:40] <thiebaude> i might need and alternative to rhythmbox
[20:40] <sakang> clementine
[20:40] <marko-_-> banshee?
[20:40] <StephenM|2> No sorry micom - Usually it kind of sorts itself out, but I have a different issue at the minute that's more pressing lol
[20:40] <Rovanion> {part
[20:40] <marko-_-> thiebaude, to be honest there are quiet a lot of applications like rhythmbox
[20:40] <marko-_-> the closest one would be banshee
[20:40] <marko-_-> even the gui is similiar
[20:41] <thiebaude> marko-_-, yea i could try that
[20:41] <wan26> depends, i just use vlc from videolan
[20:41] <micom> sth is uplouding data into net from my ubuntu! i need investigation
[20:41] <Mir09> thiebaude, amarok
[20:41] <marko-_-> vlc sucks for music
[20:41] <marko-_-> ohhh amarok WAS awesome
[20:41] <marko-_-> but kde are gui nazis so yeah :p
[20:41] <wan26> it probably does as i dont use playlists ect lol
[20:41] <thiebaude> ok thanks guys for the suggestions
[20:41] <wan26> etc*
[20:42] <Mir09> thiebaude, I've mistake.. is amarock the name :)
[20:42] <StephenM|2> At the minute I only get DNS resolution when I connect my work VPN - I'm sure its a network config problem, but I'm not sure where to start
[20:42] <Mir09> marko-_-, yeah I know xD
[20:43] <sakang> clementine
[20:43] <micom> dropbox LAN sync Discovery Protocol
[20:44] <micom> what kind of shit is on my box;/
[20:44] <Mir09> sakang, yeah.. clementine is also nice
[20:44] <StephenM|2> I can connect to my wireless router get IP address, gateway and DNS from DHCP, but unless I connect to the work VPN I can't get anywhere
[20:44] <micom> check proxy
[20:44] <ace_me_> I get sendmail[15552]: ruleset=check_relay, arg1=localhost, arg2=127.0.0.1, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=451 4.3.0 Temporary system failure. Please try again later and I assume I I no longer get emails from my server
[20:45] <sakang> Mir09: clementine is what when amarok WAS
[20:46] <Mir09> sakang, true
[20:46] <designbybeck> is it all Flash on Linux or just Amazon Videos that is broke?
[20:47] <designbybeck> youtube still works
[20:47] <designbybeck> just must be AMazon I guess
[20:47] <penguinman> flash is iffy on linux. always has been
[20:47] <BluesKaj> designbybeck, got a url to test ?
[20:47] <penguinman> a lot better than it used to be though
[20:47] <sakang> audacious is also nice alt for music player
[20:48] <zykotick9> moc ftw ;)
[20:48] <ace_me_> gethostbyaddr(127.0.0.2)
[20:49] <marko-_-> does anyone know why my computer freezes after my screen turns of after 10 minutes (to save battery)? I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with an integraded intel card and a nvidia GPU and i'm using bumblebee (it's not it's fault)
[20:50] <micom> how to turn off this feature in ubuntu "dropbox lan sync discovery protocol"?
[20:50] <penguinman> if you absolutely need good flash support chrome is probably your best option. google licensed the source from adobe and its built directly in. and unlike adobe, google actually does active linux development
[20:51] <Tellmarch> marko-_-, i don't know, but there is a bug in 12.04 where when the screen turns off, the GPU/CPU actually go to 100% usage
[20:51] <Tellmarch> it might be related
[20:51] <designbybeck> BluesKaj:  Any video on Prime Videos on Amazon
[20:51] <designbybeck> so I guess you'd have to have an account
[20:51] <kurtwp_> micom:  in the GUI I just right mouse click on the dropbox icon and select prefernece and un check enable lan sync
[20:51] <Tellmarch> marko-_-, so i'd start by checking if it's the case on your computer
[20:51] <designbybeck> penguinman:  videos were working
[20:51] <marko-_-> Tellmarch, how would i do that?
[20:51] <designbybeck> I'm thinking they changed their DRM videos again and broke it for Linux ....again
[20:51] <BluesKaj> designbybeck, can't play them here, so I can't test
[20:52] <Tellmarch> marko-_-, well, either access with ssh while the screen is turned off and check with top
[20:52] <penguinman> designbybeck, wouldn't surprise me. i actually have to run windows in virtualbox to use netflix....
[20:53] <Tellmarch> or maybe a graphical monitor with a graph that you can see just after coming back from the screen saving
[20:53] <marko-_-> Tellmarch, yeah good point
[20:53] <marko-_-> i'll do that
[20:54] <wan26> I *purchased* two audio books from audible a while back, and copied the aax files over to my ubuntu machine, i no longer use windows, is there any prog in ubuntu that will just let me play those or should i just fire up xp in a vm and convert?
[20:54] <pyrrhic> I get a black screen after leaving my pc idle, it's still on. But when I come back I see nothing but a black screen. Ideas?
[20:54] <penguinman> wan26, hmm, not sure. vlc might handle it.
[20:54] <Tellmarch> or maybe xine
[20:55] <Tellmarch> since it's the only result from apt-cache search aax
[20:55] <Tellmarch> but it's just a guess :p
[20:55] <Mir09> wan26, I think Banshee
[20:55] <jrib> Tellmarch: a front-end has "aax" in its name
[20:55] <wan26> I'll give those a shot, (been meaning to tackle this for a while) thanks for the suggestions guys
[20:55] <Tellmarch> oh, not xine then :)
[20:56] <designbybeck> penguinman: i was a long user of netflex but finally dropped them because of their lack of Linux support...and pay for Amazon and Hulu, but now Amazon is being mean!
[20:57] <penguinman> i've actually considered dropping netflix for a while now. Once we get steam and decent gaming I'll only have the windows box around for work anyway.
[20:58] <penguinman> what gets me is they have support for android, but not desktop linux....
[20:58] <ThinkT510> penguinman: market share
[20:58] <zykotick9> penguinman: android has nothing to do with gnu/linux, or even just linux kernel really - as it's a fork...
[21:00] <designbybeck> ah...looks like it their HD DRM stuff on AMazon, I got another video to play
[21:00] <BluesKaj> penguinman, yeah I noticed that , like it's deliberate slight to Linux, as if Linux is offensive to them , but I think they just can't be bothered catering to such a "small market"
[21:00] <pyrrhic> Black screen after idling; Ubuntu 12.04 - Ideas?
[21:01] <ThinkT510> pyrrhic: move mouse
[21:01] <k1l> pyrrhic: screensaver? :)
[21:01] <wan26> pyrrhic, settings>brightness&lock to never?
[21:03] <pyrrhic> Might have to look into that. I've never seen a screensaver go jet black. Lol.
[21:03] <sokel> Android actually uses the major portion of linux. The kernel. It's a big deal, especially when the kernel runs the phone and has the phone's drivers etc. Sounds like linux to me.
[21:04] <melodie> hi
[21:04] <louiemat> can anyone tell me whats wrong with this command, to put a driver for a scanner --louiemat@louis-PinGuyOS:~$ sudo -i esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.1.1-2_amd64.deb

[21:04] <melodie> in which chan is it more relevant to ask questions about creating a remix with the "from scratch" howto ?
[21:04] <gordonjcp> louiemat: it's not a command, mostly
[21:04] <ThinkT510> louiemat: pinguyos isn't supported here
[21:04] <zykotick9> sokel: the android changes are NOT included in "linux", they forked it (it's kept in it's own repository, separate from "linux")
[21:05] <hIchamAT> QUESTION : how can I increase the size of tty buffer, because when I use the SHIFT+PAGEUP the buffer is very limitted
[21:06] <melodie> about my question the howto I try to use is here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
[21:07] <jrib> hIchamAT: I don't know.  Maybe just use screen or tmux instead?
[21:07] <solenzo> hello everyone
[21:08] <solenzo> can somebody help me with 3gmodem?
[21:08] <dj_ryan> a question, i have a dual monitor, triple head ATI setup, but xrandr tells me 2 of the monitors are 'disconnected' even though they have the xroot background set
[21:08] <solenzo> i have anydata 635 wa modem i cant connect via hsdpa mode
[21:10] <nrgy2211> hello. newb question. how could i make multi part .rar files from command line?
[21:11] <bwlang> wtf: do-release-upgrade -> 447 new packages are going to be
[21:11] <bwlang> installed   (how can figure out what's depending on all that stuff)
[21:11] <MonkeyDust> !rar > nrgy2211
[21:13] <k1l> bwlang: do release upgrade is a version upgrade of ubuntu. that is no surprise that there are so many packages
[21:13] <BluesKaj> bwlang, that's the nature of upgrading to new release , it upgrades your package to new versions
[21:13] <BluesKaj> packages
[21:14] <bwlang> k1l: it's a surprise to me.  I don't want all this x11 stuff on this machine.
[21:14] <k1l> bwlang: its not installing anything new. its just upgrading
[21:14] <bwlang> k1l: i don't think so " 447 new packages are going to be installed. 617 packages are going to be upgraded."
[21:15] <BluesKaj> bwlang, it's your choice ,, you can run without X if you want ...have fun :)
[21:15] <nrgy2211> ah boo. i gotta still register winrar even if it's a linux version -_-
[21:16] <bwlang> BluesKaj: this machine has run with out X for years, i just need to figure which package is depending on all this new stuff and uninstall it prior to the upgrade, but I can't tell which one is the "gateway drug"
[21:16] <k1l> bwlang: if there is a new kernel its a new install and not a upgrade. its the same when running apt-get upgrade vs apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:16] <bwlang> k1l: a new kernel won't be depending on x11proto-randr-dev
[21:17] <auronandace> !dist-upgrade | k1l
[21:17] <bwlang> autonandance: I do want to upgrade to precise… and i expect some additions - but not so many.
[21:18] <BluesKaj> bwlang, that's right , but graphics driver probly need the kernel source stuff
[21:18] <bwlang> BluesKaj: there should be no graphics driver… this is a headless machine.
[21:21] <BluesKaj> bwlang, are you upgrading the server edition then make sure that's you've got, but that depends on the metod you're fllowing
[21:23] <Baribal> Hi. What command line tool(s) can I use to find out what connection where to causes how much traffic?
[21:23] <jrib> Baribal: iftop
[21:23] <Baribal> I just had >500MB/h outbound traffic on my server and I'd like to know why.
[21:23] <bwlang> Baribal: i like iptraf
[21:24] <chemist^> hello everyone
[21:24] <chemist^> i've got a problem :)
[21:24] <bwlang> Baribal: ntop will give run long term and log the flows if that's what your looking for.
[21:24] <chemist^> or question better...
[21:25] <chemist^> is it possible that my wired connection is preventing applications in wine to connect to the internet?
[21:25] <chemist^> i have a wired 802.1x ttls connection
[21:25] <lessless> is it possible to use aucdtect which requires libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 on 12.04?
[21:26] <Baribal> Heh, iptraf goes wild. That may have to do with me logging in over ssh. :)
[21:26] <OerHeks> !info libc6
[21:27] <bwlang> Baribal: you can do some simple filtering with iptraf, but i use tcpdump for a more detailed view that is specific to certain hosts.
[21:28] <unless_> Hello folks!

[21:29] <auronandace> hazel: uname -a
[21:29] <zykotick9> hazel: "uname -m" is shorter ;)
[21:30] <hazel> thanks ya'll
[21:30] <roobarb1> Is lucid's emacs23-el broken?
[21:30] <chemist^> is it possible that my 802.1x secured wired connection is the cause that's preventing applications in wine to connect to the internet?
[21:32] <trism> roobarb1: what is: apt-cache policy emacs23-el emacs23-common;
[21:35] <roobarb1> trism: results here http://pastebin.com/K60txN2z
[21:38] <trism> roobarb1: ahh you have a newer version of emacs23-common manually installed, you should add lucid-updates to /etc/apt/sources.list and you can upgrade everything to 23.1+1-4ubuntu7.3
[21:38] <dj_ryan> which process is responsible for the windows-p aka mod4-p shortcut? its tweaking xrandr
[21:39] <roobarb1> trism: oh. Thanks for the diagnosis. I'll check /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:40] <chemist^> is it possible that my 802.1x secured wired connection is the cause that's preventing applications in wine to connect to the internet?? anyone plz?
[21:40] <trism> roobarb1: you can use: software-properties-gtk; to update it with a gui if you prefer, just check lucid-updates on the Updates tab
[21:41] <yubahaq> hi
[21:41] <yubahaq> all
[21:41] <yubahaq> i have a problem
[21:42] <yubahaq> i have upgraded to ubuntu 11.04
[21:42] <k1l> !ask | yubahaq
[21:42] <yubahaq> i want to delete all unity
[21:42] <yubahaq> and install gnome shell
[21:42] <k1l> !notunity | yubahaq
[21:42] <roobarb1> trism: great tip again!
[21:42] <k1l> yubahaq: and dont press enter after every word
[21:43] <gordonjcp> yubahaq: upgrading to 11.04 is a problem, right enough
[21:43] <TJ-> chemist^: Unlikely; what is failing?
[21:43] <yubahaq> yah very serious
[21:43] <gordonjcp> yubahaq: upgrade to 12.04
[21:44] <chemist^> TJ-: pokerstars
[21:44] <yubahaq> because opengl does not work properly, i have problems with graphic and space card
[21:44] <yubahaq> no
[21:44] <chemist^> TJ-: i don't have any other application installed with wine
[21:45] <yubahaq> i want to upgrade more but keep saying your card want be supported
[21:45] <yubahaq> that's why i didn't upgraded to more release
[21:45] <TJ-> chemist^: It would help to launch the application from a terminal and capture the log that wine generates about what it is doing. That might reveal the problem
[21:45] <adac> Is there something wrong with ssh lately?
[21:46] <chemist^> TJ- ill do that right away
[21:46] <MonkeyDust> adac  "wrong"?
[21:46] <TJ-> chemist^: just enable the network/internet classes. This list will help you figure out which one to specify http://wiki.winehq.org/DebugChannels
[21:47] <TJ-> chemist^: Off the top of my head, I *think* you need at least "inetcomm" but I think also "wininet" and/or "winhttp" and similar
[21:48] <chemist^> hmm..ok ...this is a bit complicated
[21:48] <roobarb1> trism: Thank you. apt-get is happy now. And I have elisp sources to browse now!
[21:48] <TJ-> chemist^: I remember that feeling when I had to do it a couple yeara go
[21:49] <jetrost> i'm getting this error in an application's log file: "Cannot load library icui18n: ..." and so I want to install the ICU package, but it is not showing up in an aptitude search [$ aptitude search icu]. how can i find this package and install it? i think i want one of the packages on this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/icu
[21:50] <in0cula> i did dist-upgrade, i do i install the kernel header?
[21:50] <adac> MonkeyDust, I cannot access some of my servers. Strange errors like to often failed login ans such
[21:51] <TJ-> adac: turn on SSH debugging on the client; that might reveal the issue
[21:52] <melodie> maybe since a moment ago I could up my question
[21:52] <technikfreak> i running in save mode 45 what could be the problem?
[21:52] <adac> TJ-, how to do that?
[21:52] <melodie> is there someone interested about remix from scratch who could help me with a few questions ?
[21:52] <TJ-> adac: "man ssh"
[21:53] <melodie> making a remix from scratch ? is there a dedicated chan for this sort of topic ?
[21:55] <rizwan> facebook unable to open in pidgin
[21:55] <rizwan> melodie: unable to open in pidgin
[21:55] <TJ-> adac: If I recall correctly, it's something like "ssh -o LogLevel=DEBUG ...."
[21:55] <MonkeyDust> melodie  gentoo is for purists and hardcore, start there
[21:56] <rizwan> MonkeyDust :- facebook chat unable to open in pidgin

[21:57] <rizwan> thanks for the reply monkeyDust
[21:58] <rizwan> TJ :facebook chat  unable to open in pidgin
[21:58] <TJ-> rizwan: shame it isn't the entire Facebook site :p

[22:01] <rizwan> facebook chat can de done using xmpp protocol
[22:02] <rizwan> MonkeyDust : facebook chat can de done using xmpp protocol

[22:02] <rizwan> by using pidgin or empathy
[22:02] <phy1729> linus: to do what? reinstall?
[22:03] <TJ-> phy1729: use "apt-get remove" to remove the "linux-image-<version>" and "linux-headers-<version>" packages you no longer want. List the installed version with "dpkg-query -l 'linux-image*' | grep '^ii' "
[22:03] <frowzy> Hey kids! how do I configure the giant bar with all the icons on the left of my screen? Also, what is it called?
[22:03] <linus> no install new over top current install
[22:03] <phy1729> I'm just realizing that the box is noramlly not rebooted whould rebooting help?
[22:03] <jetrost> i'm getting this error in an application's log file: "Cannot load library icui18n: ..." and so I want to install the ICU package, but it is not showing up in an aptitude search [$ aptitude search icu]. how can i find this package and install it? i think i want one of the packages on this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/icu
[22:04] <skulltip> how do i compile audiere?
[22:04] <dr_willis> !compile
[22:05] <frowzy> I am going to keep a running list of my problems with Ubuntu, and keep a blog or something. It's that bad.
[22:05] <TJ-> jetrost: Well, that "i18n" is short for "internationalisation" and means the package is one containing language/culture specific items
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> rizwan  http://blog.caseyho.com/2010/02/how-to-enable-facebook-chat-in-pidgin.html
[22:05] <linus> @frowzy if you have a problem fix it and post that to your blog. thats how open source works
[22:06] <dr_willis> or post the fix at askubuntu.com
[22:06] <jetrost> TJ-: oh really? that's good to know. i will just ignore it then since i don't need internationalisation. thank you!
[22:06] <TJ-> jetrost: what release of Ubuntu are you using? What application is causing that message?
[22:06] <MonkeyDust> frowzy  or if you have ideas, post them in !brainstorm
[22:06] <frowzy> linus: I just need to know really basic things, like "what is the bar with the icons on the left of my screen called, so I can google my problems with it"
[22:06] <frowzy> I googled "ubuntu tutorial" and I got shit tons of spam.
[22:07] <dr_willis> frowzy:  theres a good postibng on that at askubuntu.com
[22:07] <dr_willis> !manual | frowzy
[22:07] <frowzy> MonkeyDust: when I have solutoins?
[22:07] <dr_willis> they relly need tomake a link to that manual on the desktop
[22:07] <frowzy> thanks dr_willis :)
[22:07] <TJ-> jetrost: icu-doc == "Description-en: API documentation for ICU classes and functions. ICU is a C++ and C library that provides robust and full-featured Unicode and locale support.  This package contains HTML files documenting the ICU APIs."
[22:07] <dr_willis> frowzy:  tip #1 - press and hold super key - to see keyboard shortcut display
[22:07] <frowzy> dr_willis: DUDE AWESOME
[22:08] <dr_willis> frowzy:  the webupd8 and omgubuntu sites are the main sites i use along with askubuntu.com  for learning neat tricks
[22:08] <TJ-> jetrost: On Precise apt-file search shows: "libicu-dev: /usr/lib/libicui18n.so"
[22:09] <frowzy> And the manual is downloadable! So I can read it at home! Willis you've been the singularly most helpful (to me!) person in this channel :D :D
[22:09] <TJ-> jetrost: and "lib32icu48: /usr/lib32/libicui18n.so.48" <--- that would be the one I think your system wants, unless you're on 64-bit system, then you'd want "libicu48"
[22:10] <jetrost> TJ-: oh, i'm on 12.04 server. i'll see about installing the libicu-dev package and see if that solves the error
[22:10] <dr_willis> frowzy:  i imagine the reason theres no link to it on the desktop is it wasent done when the 12.045 was relased
[22:10] <TJ-> jetole: not the -dev package, one of those others I've just mentioned, depending on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system
[22:11] <frowzy> I figured out why ubuntu "feels" sluggish to me, who can I tell about this?
[22:11] <rizwan> MonkeyDust: thanks for link, after following link getting this error " account was disabled because you signed on from another location:
[22:11] <jetrost> TJ-: ok i'll try the lib32icu48 package
[22:11] <linus> Ubuntu doest want to need a manual. That is why it isnt on the desktop
[22:11] <MonkeyDust> frowzy  or ideas to get something solved
[22:12] <dr_willis> its the 'people' that want and need a manual..
[22:12] <frowzy> true.dat
[22:14] <rizwan> MonkeyDust: thanks for link, after following link getting this error " account was disabled because you signed on from another location:
[22:14] <melodie> MonkeyDust, I don't need that kind of advice. (?)
[22:14] <frowzy> !brainstorm Ubuntu "feels" sluggish when I use my laptop's touchpad, but not a USB mouse. This is because ubuntu/gnome/something "eats" the first few clicks on a button or menu, sometimes.
[22:14] <linus> ubuntu is linux for human beings. These are also called people. The objective is to make it intuitive enough not to need a manual.
[22:14] <Guest14387> how different is ubuntu server kernel from debian whizzy.. a lot or almost the same?
[22:14] <xangua> rizwan: try to change your facebook password
[22:14] <melodie> I am not a purist, I am learning to do something interesting
[22:15] <sokel> Ubuntu... intuitive lol. That's hilarious.
[22:15] <frowzy> !brainstorm Ubuntu inexplicably delays by ~30 seconds the result of the fn + volume up/down key combo on my asus laptop.
[22:15] <dr_willis> !brainstorm
[22:15] <frowzy> wait did he pm me
[22:15] <linus> @guest14387 the answer could be a tiny bit or a whole lot. It first depends on when each kernel was built
[22:15] <frowzy> I'm not using a REAL irc client because Xchat (hilariously!) doesn't work in ubuntu.
[22:16] <dr_willis> frowzy:  xchat works fine for me here on ubuntu.
[22:16] <dr_willis> i tend to use weechat however these days
[22:16] <adaccada> Several SSH server now tell me this: "Received disconnect from 178.63.xxx.x.xx: 2: Too many authentication failures for root" etc. This happens since i updated my system yesterday. Any ideas?
[22:16] <frowzy> Huh, it won't for me. I have this problem: http://help.dal.net/faqs/connections.html#registered
[22:16] <linus> start by checking with uname -r
[22:16] <frowzy> where the issue is "some IRC software is slow"
[22:16] <rizwan> xangua: for other passwords authentication failed
[22:17] <sokel> frowzy: irssi is the way to go. Console all the way.
[22:17] <dr_willis> Havent been to dalnet in years.. so no idea on dalnet..
[22:17] <xangua> rizwan: did you already change your facebook password and introduce the new one in pidgin account manager¿
[22:17] <frowzy> sokel: Look, some of us just don't like consoles. Okay?
[22:17] <linus> @adaccada with ubuntu since sudo is installed by default you shouldnt be able to ssh as root
[22:17] <linus> login as a regular user then us sudo or sudo su
[22:17] <rizwan> oh, understood, doing now, and will let u know once its done
[22:18] <linus> if you do have a ssh root user id delete it
[22:18] <adaccada> linus, this is also happening on non root accounts
[22:18] <Guest14387> linus: debian kernel 3.2.0 and whatever is current in Ubuntu server 12.04
[22:18] <bobweaver> !su | linus
[22:18] <rizwan> xangua : oh, understood, doing now, and will let u know once its done
[22:18] <sokel> sudo -i, enter, type passwd, now root has a password. Now you can ssh into it. Congrats.
[22:18] <bobweaver> sudo -i  .....
[22:18] <dr_willis> dont use 'sudo su' use sudo -s or sudo -i.
[22:18] <bobweaver> sorry linus (about the bot )
[22:18] <xangua> !noroot  | rizwan
[22:19] <linus> @guest14387 then the kernels should be pretty close, if you want to go further you could check the exact revision number of your kernels then compare the distribution specific patches
[22:19] <adaccada> linus I really have no clue anymore. It happens on different servers with differnet accounts
[22:20] <Guest14387> linus: thanks
[22:20] <frowzy> MonkeyDust: !brainstorm only worked for the first idea I threw out, now ubotto is just mocking me >_>
[22:21] <dr_willis> frowzy:  its opened a query window to you i imagine
[22:21] <countley> can anyone recomend a good torrent downloader for ubuntu
[22:21] <dr_willis>  /msg  ubottu  help
[22:21] <frowzy> dr_willis: yes, but now it's mocking me in PM.
[22:21] <xangua> countley: transmission is the default
[22:21] <dr_willis> countley:  theres dozens of torrent clients out for Ubuntu and linux. it depends on your needs.
[22:21] <IdleOne> frowzy: ubottu is an info bot, you need to read the info it provides
[22:22] <frowzy> Ah, now I see my mistake. I trusted the word of a user over the bot.
[22:22] <rizwan> xangua: changed password from facebook site and tried, same error i m getting
[22:22] <bobweaver> frowzy,  it is a supy bot     !ssh ssh is used for blah blah blah   then the team has to aprove
[22:22] <frowzy> I have yet to truly understand the zen of ubuntu.
[22:22] <xangua> rizwan: did you change it in pidgin¿
[22:23] <dr_willis> 'linux is all about legos and layers' thats the zen of linux.
[22:23] <xangua> and saved it*
[22:23] <dr_willis> ;)
[22:23] <JPeterson> fix please "sudo ulimit -c unlimited" "env: ulimit: No such file or directory"
[22:23] <rizwan> xangua: yes

[22:24] <IdleOne> JPeterson: Please mind the language/acronyms.
[22:24] <frowzy> dr_willis: how do I learn to be kind and helpful like you without becoming jaded?
[22:25] <bobweaver> JPeterson,  meaning that it can not find it
[22:25] <dr_willis> frowzy:  i am jaded. ;) i just keep it in check.
[22:25] <dr_willis> frowzy:  and you learn to use /ignore a lot.
[22:25] <JPeterson> im sorry for my confusing question. maybe this is easier to understand. how do i run ulimit -c unlimited?
[22:25] <bobweaver> lol dr_jesus
[22:25] <bobweaver> dang tab compleations
[22:26] <sporkbox> Is it true that Ubuntu is not adopting systemd? I'm looking for distros that aren't switching (or forcing users to switch to it).
[22:26] <dr_willis> sporkbox:  last i heard. they are sticking with Upstart for the time being
[22:26] <bobweaver> JPeterson,  I am sorry I just walked into this and you give me a Hello I am trying to do _____ and when I do ____ this _____ happens ?
[22:27] <sporkbox> dr_willis: Alright, cool. Do you know any other distros that aren't switching? Gentoo's sticking with OpenRC for now and there's a lot of opposition to systemd there (good news for me)
[22:27] <dr_willis> sporkbox:  i belive they are eventually  switching. perhaps in the next lts.. hard to tell
[22:27] <sporkbox> Ah...
[22:27] <JPeterson> i have the day's simplest question, why cant i run "sudo ulimit -c unlimited"
[22:27] <dr_willis> No idea. its basically a non-issue to me sporkbox .
[22:27] <sporkbox> Alright. Thanks for letting me know, though.
[22:28] <dr_willis> JPeterson:  perhaps thats not the proper way to set the ulimnit
[22:28] <countley> dr_willis: fast downloads
[22:28] <JPeterson> dr_willis: thanks riddler
[22:28] <JPeterson> any more clues?
[22:28] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/26985/what-is-a-safe-ulimit-ceiling
[22:28] <dr_willis> mentions how to set it
[22:28] <countley> thats all my needs
[22:29] <bobweaver> JPeterson,  is this for script ? if so make into C ?  #include <ulimit.h>

[22:44] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  then restart the computer
[22:44] <UbuntuBookPro> Thanks, bobweaver! I'm going to update for now and will do that after :)
[22:44] <rizwan> dr_willis : apt-get install tor
[22:44] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  if you like I wrote a tutorial all about your wireless card
[22:45] <rizwan> dr_willis: installed tor using above
[22:45] <UbuntuBookPro> If what you said won't work, I'll check it out.
[22:45] <UbuntuBookPro> Thanks again, about to restart~
[22:45] <linus> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#bcm43xx.2C_b43legacy.2C_b43.2C_softmac.2C..._the_full_story
[22:46] <linus> ive studied that b43 page alot working with airodump-ng
[22:46] <soman> Has Linux a TEXT and UNICODE macros for C++ coding?
[22:47] <linus> @soman i use scite
[22:47] <dr_willis> that would be a feature of the IDE/Compiler?
[22:48] <frowzy> Fellow ubuntu noobs, this was extremely helpful to me in adjusting ubuntu to expected parameters: http://www.techdrivein.com/2012/06/25-things-i-did-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[22:48] <bobweaver> soman,  qtcreator ? cmake gui ?
[22:48] <linus> those are text edit features for easier code viewing
[22:48] <soman> linus: what you mean? I just want to port own app from Win where I written it using mingw
[22:48] <linus> g++ yourappname.cpp
[22:49] <soman> I written my app using TEXT macro but I cannot build it in Ubuntu because compiler doesn't want to 'eat' TEXT
[22:49] <bobweaver> soman,  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-tool-chains.html
[22:49] <bobweaver> soman,  look up
[22:49] <lessless> is it possible to use aucdtect which requires libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 on 12.04?
[22:50] <UbuntuBookPro> bobweaver it still says device not ready (firmware missing)
[22:50] <linus> ok so you are looking for a library replacement
[22:50] <MonkeyDust> what was the command again, to have the ubuntu dots, instead of the xubuntu line, when booting the pc?
[22:50] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  you mean change the default pymounth theme?
[22:50] <MonkeyDust> dr_willis  yeah
[22:50] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,     pastebin     apt-cache policy firmware-b43-installer
[22:50] <MonkeyDust> plymouth
[22:50] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/2007/how-do-i-change-the-plymouth-bootscreen
[22:51] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  also rfkill list all
[22:51] <linus> I always change plymouth through synaptic, just install or remove the one you want
[22:51] <dr_willis> plymouth-theme-solar      is my fave. ;)
[22:51] <bobweaver> sudo update-alternitive --config text-pylmoth and also deafult-pylmouth
[22:51] <bobweaver> sorry about the spelling
[22:52] <dr_willis> sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[22:52] <dr_willis> sudo update-initramfs -u
[22:52] <UbuntuBookPro> bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187944/
[22:52] <bobweaver> then what is http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-tool-chains.html
[22:52] <ironfoot> Hello I have a problem using the code mysql_num_rows is not responding correctly is there someone who can help me with this delima???
[22:52] <bobweaver> er
[22:52] <bobweaver> you beet me too iut dr_jesus
[22:53] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  rfkill unblock all   && sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43
[22:54] <dr_willis> i just cut/pasted from teh askubuntu url ;P
[22:54] <bobweaver> lol dr_willis
[22:54] <Jeruvy> ironfoot, you could try #mysql also.
[22:54] <UbuntuBookPro> mmkay, now what do I need to do?
[22:54] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  rfkill unblock all   && sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43
[22:54] <linus> toolchains are libraries that let you build a program one system for another system
[22:54] <bobweaver> in the terminal ^^
[22:55] <dr_willis> my system boots so fast. i barely see the plymouth screen
[22:55] <bobweaver> yup just like MinGW linus
[22:55] <UbuntuBookPro> bobweaver i did that. now will it work, or...?
[22:55] <Golfgeo> Hi all, got a small problem... My notebook seems to be locked into a cpu speed of 1000 mhrtz while I would like it to be higher like when it is connected to an adapter...
[22:56] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  lets see a paste of            lsmod
[22:56] <Golfgeo> wow, my English is bad today haha
[22:57] <Golfgeo> basicly, when connected to the main power net it goes higher and now on the bat. it's locked into the minimal cpu cycles... so... how to change it?
[22:57] <linus> mingws finished product is designed to be used on the system you are using.
[22:57] <UbuntuBookPro> bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187947/
[22:58] <bobweaver> thanks
[22:58] <linus> mingw = gcc or g++  toolchain = android
[22:59] <bobweaver> SDK ?
[22:59] <linus> yes an SDK is a toolchain
[22:59] <bobweaver> anyways UbuntuBookPro  please read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10796508 post 44
[23:00] <linus> but an SDK is more because it contains libraries
[23:00] <linus> a toolchain is just the compiler. I used a PPC toolchain in ubuntu x86 to compile a linux kernel for my wii
[23:04] <DynV> 64 bit version of http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop fetch a file ending with amd64 but the system it's to be installed on is intel, will it work?
[23:04] <dj_who> hi, all
[23:04] <WeThePeople> hi
[23:05] <linus> intel maked both 64 and 32 bit processors
[23:05] <dj_who> i've instaled y-ppa-manager but have no icons in app
[23:06] <dj_who> icons are in /usr/share/y-ppa-manager/icons
[23:06] <DynV> linus: does this mean that amd64 version will work on an intel 64bit or not?
[23:06] <linus> yes
[23:06] <dj_who> but y-ppa is not using them
[23:06] <bobweaver> dj_ryan,  why not /us/share/pixmaps ?
[23:06] <DynV> it will work or not?
[23:07] <dj_who> dont know
[23:07] <linus> amd64 is just the name given to that branch of the linux kernel
[23:07] <bobweaver> dj_who,  what icons are you talking about ?
[23:07] <Jordan_U> DynV: Yes. "AMD64" refers to any 64 bit x86 compatible processor, which includes intel's.
[23:08] <dj_who> y-add.png for example
[23:08] <dj_who> in y-ppa menu
[23:08] <DynV> so AMD64 & Intel 64 are just synonyms to x86-64 ?
[23:08] <bobweaver> dj_who,  I am sorry I do not follow
[23:08] <UbuntuBookPro> bobweaver my network card is not on that list.
[23:08] <linus> yes
[23:08] <dj_who> i know ubuntu search them in /usr/share/icon
[23:09] <Frowzie> Well, something crashed in my ubuntu thingee. The edges of all my windows disappeared.
[23:09] <Frowzie> I tried hitting Ctrl alt del to log out, but I got a blank white screen..
[23:09] <dj_who> but yppa instals them in /usr/share/y-ppa-manager/icons
[23:09] <skulltip> is openAL a good audio lib to develop with?
[23:09] <Frowzie> so I hit it again, everything rebooted. Sad.
[23:09] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  now yes it is look at the number that is in [14e4:<Number>]
[23:09] <skulltip> good as in won't roll off and vanish in the next two years?
[23:09] <linus> @frowzie ctrl alt del isnt a good idea
[23:10] <linus> try crtl f2
[23:10] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  what is the version of your ubuntu ? 12.04 ? 11.10 ?
[23:10] <linus> then login and do sudo reboot now
[23:10] <UbuntuBookPro> 12.04
[23:10] <UbuntuBookPro> there are like 4 different numbers listed when i do that command, tho
[23:10] <Frowzie> linus: I'll do that now
[23:11] <Frowzie> er
[23:11] <Frowzie> next time.
[23:11] <jeep> hi
[23:11] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | Frowzie
[23:11] <linus> maybe when you are in the other terminal you can just killall the offender so you dont hace to restart
[23:12] <UbuntuBookPro> 16b4, 16bc, 0000, and 4331 are the numbers listed.
[23:12] <ebs512> !paste
[23:12] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  here lets add my driver for b43 that I made
[23:12] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:josephjamesmills/beta && sudo apt-get update  && sudo apt-get install b43patch
[23:13] <bobweaver> UbuntuBookPro,  then reboot
[23:13] <ebs512> hey guys I am trying to run the bionic conky config file, I keep getting the following error, anyone know how to fix this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187965/
[23:14] <Frowzie> Jordan_U: thank you!
[23:14] <bobweaver> ebs512,  you are missing files
[23:14] <UbuntuBookPro> Alright, time to reboot!
[23:14] <ebs512> I dont know which ones ;/I have googled up and down and have found similar posts relating to the issue but everything that worked for other people isnt working for me, what exactly is it I need?
[23:14] <Jordan_U> skulltip: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/guide-to-sound-apis.html
[23:15] <Jordan_U> Frowzie: You're welcome.
[23:15] <bobweaver> ebs512,  it says in your paste
[23:15] <abhinavmehta> I'm having some problem with plexmediaserver, can I ask here..?
[23:15] <bobweaver> each one of thouse files are needed ebs512
[23:16] <bobweaver> !ask | abhinavmehta
[23:16] <ebs512> synaptic package manager?
[23:16] <bobweaver> ebs512,  where is the conkey script that you are gotting this from ?
[23:16] <bobweaver> getting *
[23:17] <Alpha-Omega> question: when you do purge, does it delete the configs from just the root directory or your home folder as well?
[23:17] <abhinavmehta> I'm having problem with plexmedia client on iOS, can see that video has subtitles, but doesn't get loaded on iOS client…works fine on PC and MAc client.
[23:17] <zykotick9> Alpha-Omega: NOT in home folder!
[23:17] <Jordan_U> Alpha-Omega: Only System wide configuration files.
[23:17] <Alpha-Omega> zykotick9: so just from root ok
[23:17] <Alpha-Omega> ok thanks
[23:17] <Jordan_U> abhinavmehta: What does that have to do with Ubuntu?
[23:18] <abhinavmehta> Jordan_U: correct, I also feel the same…I've asked this on iOS channel but they said, this is not there concern…ask on ubuntu
[23:19] <Alpha-Omega> and one more question: should I purge: linux-headers-3.2.0-29 linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic when removing or might this destroy something?
[23:19] <ebs512> nevermind it is apparently for gnome 2
[23:20] <ebs512> is there a specific place I can find conky scripts for gnome 3?
[23:20] <Troy^> rsync --progress --remove-source-files doesn't seem to be working this is on a folder with .mp3 inside and i'm getting skipping directory .
[23:20] <Jordan_U> abhinavmehta: It sounds like the correct place to ask would be Plex's support venues.
[23:20] <Frowzie> Weird, Ubuntu Tweak disappeared. Also weird, 64bit packages won't install ("wrong architecture").. I'm pretty sure I installed 64bit linux.
[23:20] <WeThePeople> ebs512, define conky
[23:21] <bobweaver> ebs512,  try gnome-look
[23:21] <ebs512> conky is a configurable script to have custom system monitors on the desktop
[23:21] <abhinavmehta> Jordan_U: k
[23:21] <Troy^> someone help me out with my rsync issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187976/ maybe i'm not using the proper syntax?
[23:21] <bobweaver> but conky sould run either was
[23:21] <bobweaver> way *
[23:21] <ebs512> for gtk2 and gtk3?
[23:22] <ebs512> all gtk2 I have tried dont work unless they are specifically ported to gtk3
[23:22] <staccz> is this the correct place for a noob to ask questions?
[23:22] <xangua> ebs512: 'conky-colors' has no problem with unity or gnome-shell
[23:23] <ebs512> im in gnome 3, thank you xangua,  not to be picky but I want one on the right side of the desktop due to my axe menu and dock
[23:23] <Syleron> So.. Trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac. I chose to install instead of trying it live. As soon as I get the wallpaper for Ubuntu and the top bar shows it disappears. A loading icon shows and then goes to a black screen after a few minutes. Does anyone have an idea why?
[23:25] <IlikeMoose2> i just installed nfs-common so i can share files between 2 systems i have on the same network, how do i go about accessing the files???
[23:25] <IlikeMoose2> i can't seem to pull anything up in nautilus
[23:26] <WeThePeople> ilikemoose2, did you designate a folder?
[23:26] <Troy^> IlikeMoose: \\ip.of.system\
[23:26] <IlikeMoose2> not yet 1 sec
[23:26] <Onlyodin> NFS or Samba?
[23:26] <Onlyodin> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[23:26] <IlikeMoose2> nfs
[23:27] <Jordan_U> staccz: This is the Ubuntu support channel, where both new and experienced users are welcome to ask questions, yes.
[23:27] <econdudeawesome> howdy all! Where should I ask for help setting up an ssh server?
[23:27] <WeThePeople> yes
[23:28] <Troy^> i guess i should setup NFS instead of samba...
[23:28] <Alpha-Omega> damnit, I'm trying to get minidlna to work, I set the directory in the config file and my device detects the dlna server, but no files show up, can anyone explain why?
[23:28] <m6d4> Troy^: are you missing -a with rsync ?
[23:28] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: google
[23:28] <Jordan_U> !google | h22turbo
[23:28] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: I'm looking for more... interactive help
[23:28] <h22turbo> !blah | Jordan_U
[23:29] <econdudeawesome> I'm wanting to make sure it's actually secured before I go live with it. I'm not much of a networker, unfortunately
[23:29] <Alpha-Omega> could there be a permissions error or something?
[23:29] <Jordan_U> econdudeawesome: If you just want to be able to ssh into your machine, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" is all you need. Is there more you want to do?
[23:29] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: first, sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server
[23:30] <econdudeawesome> Jordan_U: I think it would be good to make it as secure as possible. But I dont want to clog up #ubuntu with off-topic questions, so I figured it'd be better to ask for a better venue
[23:31] <Jordan_U> econdudeawesome: This question is on-topic for this channel (also on topic for #ubuntu-server, but we can continue here).
[23:31] <econdudeawesome> ok
[23:31] <econdudeawesome> So, once I install the server (and client, h22? I already ssh into other machines, but want to set up ssh into this machine)
[23:31] <econdudeawesome> how do I go about securing things?
[23:31] <Jordan_U> econdudeawesome: Is this machine going to be accessible from the internet?
[23:31] <Troy^> can NFS be accessed by Windows machine?
[23:32] <econdudeawesome> Jordan_U: yes
[23:32] <melodie> good night
[23:32] <econdudeawesome> it is behind a router that I can set a firewall up on
[23:32] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: id recommend pub key auth, but that depends on what you will be using the box for... are clients going to login to it? a bunch of clients? just you SSH'ing in?
[23:32] <federico> Hi. Does any of you know webdesign?
[23:33] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: will u be ssh'ing in from many different pcs?
[23:33] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: Just me. Going to use it to ssh into for a programming course
[23:33] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: maybe 3 or 4 total
[23:33] <WeThePeople> federico, wrong channel
[23:33] <federico> Sorry.
[23:33] <WeThePeople> mabe see css or html
[23:33] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: umm, i would just change the default port (22) to something different and use a very secure password, and install fail2ban or denyhosts
[23:34] <federico> Thank you :)
[23:34] <Alpha-Omega> the log for minidlna says: inotify.c:89: error: inotify_add_watch(/media/STORAGE) [Permission denied]
[23:34] <m6d4> Troy^: yes you can - http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/
[23:34] <Alpha-Omega> I'm starting the service with sudo, don't understand why it doesn't access /media/STORAGE
[23:35] <lickalott> troy it's an add-on in windows 7.  what version do you have?
[23:35] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: does the port really matter? Also, would you recommend a secure password + secure auth?
[23:35] <Troy^> ultimate lickalott
[23:36] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: well, changing the default port will help agains ssh bruteforcing... "people" scan for port 22 then try to bruteforce names and passwords. so, changing it would be a lot better
[23:36] <lickalott> control panel > apps and features > turn on or off windows components > NFS
[23:36] <Troy^> hmm what is the best way to find out if my external harddrive connected to my ubuntu server is being picked up as usb2.0 or 1.1
[23:36] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: & secure key auth is the best... but in your case, i'd just do secure pass, change def port, and fail2ban or denyhosts. its up to you tho
[23:36] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: ah, so it'd skip over it if it's a different port?
[23:37] <Dynamit_irssi> good night every one
[23:37] <econdudeawesome> what is fail2ban and denyhosts?
[23:37] <WeThePeople> no
[23:37] <econdudeawesome> Good night Dynamit_irssi
[23:37] <WeThePeople> good day everyone
[23:37] <lickalott> you add it to the actual shared folder (i.e. if you share out in /etc/exports /home/troy/vids/porn  and the alias is porn you would add IPADDRESS:/porn as the nfs)
[23:37] <WeThePeople> lol
[23:37] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: thats pretty much brute protection. after so many failed login attempts... it will add the host to deny.hosts and block that "user" from accessing ssh or anything from your ip
[23:38] <econdudeawesome> ah.
[23:38] <econdudeawesome> is it fail2ban AND denyhosts or fail2ban OR denyhosts?
[23:38] <h22turbo> its OR
[23:38] <h22turbo> 2 different things.. but do the same
[23:39] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: okay. Is one superior to the other?
[23:39] <h22turbo> i always use denyhosts... always have... but check them both out
[23:39] <econdudeawesome> ok
[23:39] <Zal> pretty simple stuff, fail2ban works fine too
[23:39] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: they both do the same thing... denyhosts is easier imo
[23:39] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: very easy to setup and config
[23:40] <h22turbo> and works great
[23:40] <econdudeawesome> ok
[23:40] <econdudeawesome> I'll check that out then
[23:40] <Troy^> hmm my connected external drive may be interfaced using usb1.1 or usb2.0 how can i tell?
[23:41] <econdudeawesome> reading over the fail2ban vs denyhosts vs iptables thread in the forums
[23:41] <actionParsnip> Troy^: dmesg | less      may give clues
[23:41] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: everyone here hates when you say google it.... but google has tons of tutorials on ssh servers on ubuntu... and also how to secure or harden everything
[23:42] <Alpha-Omega> can anyone help me with my minidlna issue?
[23:42] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: I know, and I try not to bother the community about things I can look up. But setting up ssh to my confidence has always eluded me
[23:42] <actionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: ask and see :)
[23:42] <Alpha-Omega> actionParsnip: I already did :P
[23:42] <econdudeawesome> yaye actionParsnip is on (he/she is awesome)
[23:43] <skr00t> I have followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-dc.html but I when I try to connect a client machine to the DC it says it can't find it.
[23:43] <actionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: i came in after you asked, what is the issue please/
[23:43] <actionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA
[23:43] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: if u need anything or have any questions... we'll help u out
[23:43] <Alpha-Omega> I'm trying to get minidlna to work, I set the directory in the config file and my device detects the dlna server, but no files show up, can anyone explain why? the log for minidlna says: inotify.c:89: error: inotify_add_watch(/media/STORAGE) [Permission denied]
[23:43] <y_nk> hello
[23:43] <Alpha-Omega> actionParsnip: yeah, I've read that
[23:43] <y_nk> Alpha-Omega: maybe you should sudo it ; sudo minidlna -R
[23:44] <Alpha-Omega> seems to be a permission issue
[23:44] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: one last quick question: i'm behind a router that has multiple items connected to it--if this is device #3 today, how to I ssh into that? IP:3?
[23:44] <Alpha-Omega> y_nk: I did sudo minidlna start
[23:44] <Alpha-Omega> oops
[23:44] <Alpha-Omega> sudo service minidlna start
[23:44] <Troy^> actionParsnip: i can find my internal HD's in that output
[23:44] <Alpha-Omega> that's what I did
[23:44] <Zal> econdudeawesome, from outside the network?
[23:45] <econdudeawesome> Zal yes
[23:45] <Alpha-Omega> y_nk: wow, what the hell, that did it :P
[23:45] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: you will prob have to set a static ip on ur linux box, then port forward 22 to the priv ip of that box, then from outside the network, u'll have to use your pub ip (from your ISP) or get a dynamic DNS if it changes
[23:45] <Alpha-Omega> y_nk: but can't I start the service with sudo service minidlna start? so I can start it with my computer if I wanted to?
[23:45] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: oh. Well, off to google then I guess :D
[23:45] <Zal> econdudeawesome, you have to set up your router to forward the incoming connection to the appropriate machine inside the network.
[23:46] <Alpha-Omega> and what's the difference if I start with sudo service or just run the command?
[23:46] <skr00t> Can anyone give me a hand with my Domain Controller issues?
[23:46] <econdudeawesome> Zal: how do I do that, generally?
[23:46] <y_nk> Alpha-Omega: i don't know i was just doing a quick guess :p
[23:46] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: let us know if u need help or cant figure something out
[23:46] <Troy^> actionParsnip: this is all i really found http://paste.ubuntu.com/1188009/
[23:46] <Zal> econdudeawesome, usually you adjust settings on the router through it's web interface.
[23:46] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: go in to your router's admin settings page... setup port forwarding
[23:47] <Froward> :D
[23:47] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: does ur linux box change prib IPs? (192.168.x.x)
[23:47] <h22turbo> *priv
[23:47] <Alpha-Omega> y_nk: weird, when I do sudo service minidlna start again, no files :(
[23:47] <Alpha-Omega> really weird
[23:47] <y_nk> damn :/
[23:47] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: only after a reboot of the router or the system I believe. Im there (192.168.1.1, using an old FiOS router/Ationtec)
[23:47] <kalledelta> Hi all, has anyone here used Dells new R620/R720?
[23:48] <y_nk> could anyone help me with an awk command i'm trying to build ?
[23:48] <actionParsnip> Troy^: could use hdparm to test read and write speed
[23:48] <Troy^> hmm
[23:48] <econdudeawesome> okay, I think I found the port forwarding page
[23:48] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: u can set your linux box to use a static priv IP address, then on your router admin page... setup port forwarding to forward incoming connections on port 22 to your linux box static ip
[23:48] <Troy^> actionParsnip: yea i set this linux box up and ran out of sata ports as there is only 2 of them. Also they aren't even 3gb ports lol
[23:49] <actionParsnip> Troy^: probably fast enough for what you need
[23:49] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: got it. So set private ip as static, then forward to the port I chose (not 22)
[23:49] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: those look nice
[23:49] <Troy^> actionParsnip: you are right.. just no more room for drives really.
[23:50] <y_nk> i'm trying to launch a command anytime a line appears in a log file. I know how to read the log file (with tail -f), pipe awk, but i'm lost after that
[23:50] <skr00t> What is the default admin group in Ubuntu?
[23:50] <actionParsnip> Troy^: you can run 127 devices off 1 USB controller :)
[23:50] <skr00t> adm?
[23:50] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: Yep! when outside your network (school, whatever) you will have to SSH to your pub ip or setup dynamic dns service incase it ever changes
[23:50] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: they really are, but I can't get my R720 to work properly.. it doesn't boot after first installation… (stock 12.04)
[23:50] <Troy^> actionParsnip: slow as heck lol
[23:50] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: tried the boot option: nomodeset
[23:51] <actionParsnip> Troy^: if its for a backup, its ok. depends on the use of the drive really
[23:51] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: I'm pretty sure it's dynamic, but just in case I think I'll set up a daily cron job
[23:51] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: is that a kernel boot option?
[23:51] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: yes
[23:51] <dalek_> I need help with Scribus in Ubuntu - where is the help channel for Scribus?
[23:51] <econdudeawesome> to email the ip ;-)
[23:51] <jrib> skr00t: depends on your ubuntu version.  It's "sudo" in the current one
[23:51] <Adeeb12> Can someone please help me with this small problem, I cannot add additional software sources. After adding them, when I try updating... it gives me errors
[23:52] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: daily cron job for?
[23:52] <skr00t> I'm on 12.4.1
[23:52] <jrib> Adeeb12: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list* and the errors (including the command you ran)
[23:52] <skr00t> thank you, jrib
[23:52] <ebs512> hey guys have a bigger problem now, my sound is all the way upon my laptop and I am getting no sound, the device for sound says Dummy Output
[23:52] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: email out the public ip to myself
[23:52] <jrib> skr00t: on 12.04 it should be "sudo"
[23:52] <skr00t> hrmm
[23:52] <skr00t> im in that group
[23:52] <actionParsnip> jrib: glad itchanged to sudo, matches closer with Debian
[23:53] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: it would be easier to setup a dynamic dns at noip.com. they have a linux client that runs in the background and updates if anything changes
[23:53] <skr00t> but when i try to run ifconfig from a terminal it says i lack administrative priveleges
[23:53] <jrib> actionParsnip: well "admin" was better than "wheel" :P
[23:53] <jrib> skr00t: are you doing "sudo ifconfig"?
[23:53] <skr00t> obviously it works with sudo, but im wondering if thats the cause for me not being able to join the domain
[23:53] <Troy^> actionParsnip: i dont think hdparm works for usb drives honestly. my usb drive isn't really in /dev/ unless i can't find it lol
[23:53] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: no, haven't tried it… it's kind of hard testing it also, since I do a PXE installation and when the server is finished, it reboots and doesn't get up...
[23:53] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: will check it out. Shouldn't change tho, right? If on a cable network? Man, I feel clueless when it comes to networking practicum
[23:53] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: then you just need to remember your DNS u pick (myleetbox.noip.com or whatever) and not worry about checking an email for the IP
[23:54] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: but then what use do I have for my alpine + conky setup? :P ;-)
[23:54] <econdudeawesome> Just kidding
[23:54] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: im not sure about FIOS... but i think they hardly ever change customers ips
[23:54] <WeThePeople> fios ?
[23:54] <actionParsnip> Troy^: sudo fdisk -l     willshow you what it is
[23:54] <h22turbo> verizon fiso
[23:54] <h22turbo> fios
[23:55] <jrib> skr00t: well being in the sudo group will only affect your ability to actually run the sudo command.  What is it you are trying to accomplish?
[23:55] <h22turbo> = awesomeness
[23:55] <h22turbo> :)
[23:55] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: give it a go, can help
[23:55] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: its no longer on a fios network, just use the router cause its decent
[23:55] <Troy^> actionParsnip: it is /dev/sdd but hdparm doesn't like it
[23:55] <skr00t> jrib, i just followed the guide to setup ubuntu as the primary domain controller
[23:55] <skr00t> now on a windows client, im trying to join the domain
[23:55] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: ohhh ok... unless you're on DSL, IPs hardly ever change unless u reboot your modem
[23:56] <dalek_> help! In Scribus... how do I click/select an unclickable image frame when using a template?
[23:56] <actionParsnip> Troy^: could try sdparm
[23:56] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: yes, I will.. but I need to do it remote, so it will probably take a while… :-/
[23:56] <skr00t> but i get the error that domain either does not exist or could not be contacted
[23:56] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: may need a smarthands
[23:56] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: that made no sense... lol sry... ips dont change unless u reboot ur modem
[23:56] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: if the ssh service is started you can SSH in and apply it
[23:56] <Troy^> actionParsnip: fizz@server:/dev$ sdparm /dev/sdd
[23:56] <Troy^> open error: /dev/sdd [read only]: Permission denied
[23:56] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: which I unfortunately have to do time to time--crappy local resupplier of cable, but ah well
[23:56] <jrib> skr00t: well I don't know much about that but my suggestion would be to 1) include the guide you are following in your question and 2) pastebin exactly what you are running and the full output
[23:56] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: the problem is.. it doesn't boot… can't get passed grub
[23:57] <dalek_> Anyone here know how to use Scribus?
[23:57] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: when I hold the shift-key (locally), it just says GRUB and stalls
[23:57] <Troy^> actionParsnip: disregard that lol i ran it with sudo it gives me: /dev/sdd: WD        My Book 1140      1012
[23:57] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: but its still good to setup a noip.com dynamic dns and use the noip update client. then u can just SSH to mybox.noip.com (regardless of what ur ip might be)
[23:57] <skr00t> jrib, i did include the in my first question. here it is again: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-dc.html
[23:57] <actionParsnip> kalledelta: you don't need to boot to apply boot options, you can hold SHIFT at boot and add it to the boot there
[23:57] <econdudeawesome> h22turbo: are they that trustworthy?
[23:57] <skr00t> jrib, as for what im running, absolutely nothing. im on windows trying to join the domain as i normally would.
[23:57] <jrib> skr00t: why not follow the 12.04 guide?
[23:57] <skr00t> i didnt see one?
[23:58] <skr00t> i guess my google-foo is lacking
[23:58] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: ohh yea, they update every 30min or hour or something... and work great
[23:58] <econdudeawesome> ok
[23:58] <econdudeawesome> brb
[23:58] <jrib> skr00t: just change 11.04 to 12.04 in your url (the guide may be the same, I don't know)
[23:58] <econdudeawesome> we'll see how it goes
[23:58] <kalledelta> actionParsnip: Normally yes, but I can't get that far to enter any boot options.. as I said, it just says "GRUB" and it doesn't matter what I press on the keyboard.. it's just ctrl-alt-del that works
[23:58] <skr00t> jrib, just did that. it looks to be exactly the same
[23:58] <skr00t> oh snap, i think i may have found it
[23:58] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: if u setup a cron to email u your ip daily, what happens if the ip changed, but the cron already ran and sent you the wrong ip? then ur stuck....
[23:58] <dalek_> no one is awake in the #scribus channel... Does anyone is here know anything about using Scribus on Ubuntu?
[23:58] <skr00t> doesnt exactly make sense, but ill try it
[23:59] <jrib> y_nk: try #bash or #awk maybe
[23:59] <h22turbo> econdudeawesome: with noip... you connect to mybox.noip.com and dont worry about what ur ip is
[23:59] <h22turbo> it keeps everything updated if it changes
[23:59] <skr00t> jrib, i had missed the line saying i need to make a 'machines' group
[23:59] <skr00t> just did it, wil ltry again
[23:59] <skr00t> :-/ same error
