| Troy^ | actionParsnip: yea 1.2MB/s tranfser rates are not even close to what i should be getting on USB2.0 | 00:04 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: does the system have a make and model? | 00:04 |
| dalek_ | xangua, been searching.. cannot find anything relevant.. there are image frames on this template, and I can't even click to select them. | 00:04 |
| DrkShadow | is there a dd rescue package on Ubuntu 11? I'm not seeing dd-rescue, dd_rescue, or ddrescue, nor anything with "rescue" in aptitude.. | 00:05 |

| Jordan_U | DrkShadow: gddrescue | 00:06 |
| dalek_ | xangua, I can find nothing about selecting a frame which cannot be clicked. Everything in the documentation seems to involve being able to actually click the image frame. I don't get it. | 00:07 |

| kenneth_ | hey guys i'm back with my ssh issue I was having earlier today | 00:08 |
| histo | kenneth_: what was that? | 00:08 |
| histo | DrkShadow: in the software center edit > software sources or you can sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:08 |
| DrkShadow | k.. will give it a try. Thanks. | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | DrkShadow: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe && sudo apt-get update | 00:09 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: nm, TCP it is! | 00:09 |
| econdudeawesome | :D | 00:09 |
| kenneth_ | I'm trying to setup ssh, so in the /etc/ssh/ssd_config file, I AllowUsers me PasswordAuthentication no PermitRootLogin no but I am not able to ssh into my server. It tells me Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. Permission denied (publickey). | 00:11 |
| jrib | kenneth_: well are you using public key authentication? | 00:12 |
| histo | kenneth_: did you setup keys first? | 00:12 |
| kenneth_ | yes I did setup the key on the client | 00:12 |
| histo | kenneth_: did you copy your p-ublic key to the server? | 00:12 |
| kenneth_ | I first had to enable password to copy key over to server | 00:12 |
| kenneth_ | then disable password | 00:12 |
| jrib | kenneth_: did you use ssh-copy-id | 00:13 |
| kenneth_ | yes | 00:13 |
| histo | kenneth_: where did you put the key on the server? It needs to go in /home/kenneth/.ssh/authorized_keys | 00:13 |
| kenneth_ | ssh-copy-id '-p PORT -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub USER@ServerIP' | 00:13 |
| histo | kenneth_: I'd check the authorized keys file on the server and make sure it made it | 00:14 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: So I forward it to a port AND set up so any range of tcp traffic goes from any -> <new port specififed>? | 00:14 |
| kenneth_ | yes on the server I see the ssh-rsa jibberrish Client@clienthostname | 00:14 |
| jrib | kenneth_: did you really write "AllowUsers me" in your sshd_config? (And is your user named "me") | 00:14 |
| kenneth_ | lol I wrote AllowUsers USERID. lol i've been paranoid latelty jrib ahha | 00:15 |
| jrib | kenneth_: presumably, you have some other way to access the server, yes? | 00:16 |
| histo | kenneth_: i'd remove the allowusers line and see if it works | 00:16 |
| kenneth_ | jrib yes vnc | 00:16 |
| histo | kenneth_: also check the AuthorizedKeysFile setting | 00:16 |
| jrib | kenneth_: also, are you using encrypted directories? -_- | 00:16 |
| ebs512 | anyone not busy willing to help me? | 00:16 |
| histo | kenneth_: although it should default to h%/.ssh/authorized_keys | 00:17 |
| jrib | encrypted *home* directories | 00:17 |

| rhizmoe | should the window size of Terminal be saved from invocation to invocation? it always starts up like 25x60 | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | DrkShadow: Also, note that while similarly named, "dd_rescue" and "GNU ddrescue" are two different programs, and GNU ddrescue is vastly superior. | 00:19 |
| histo | rhizmoe: I believe you can set that in the preferences | 00:19 |

| y_nk | when i print something from awk, how do i pipe those outputs to a wget command ? | 00:21 |
| wolfgang__ | histo, what do i do with that? | 00:21 |
| y_nk | i did a small command | 00:21 |

| pyrrhic | How to change Xbuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.04 ?!? | 00:25 |
| kenneth_ | histo very strange, I did re comment it and restarted both the ssh client and server and it worked | 00:25 |
| histo | pyrrhic: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then log out and choose the ubuntu session. Then you can sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove | 00:27 |
| histo | kenneth_: after changes you need to restart sshd | 00:27 |
| Froward | well, this is new | 00:28 |
| kenneth_ | yes histo I use sudo service ssh restart | 00:28 |
| Froward | my webcam puts me upside down. cray cray. | 00:28 |

| === taylor_ is now known as SirSkidmore5345 | ||
| === SirSkidmore5345 is now known as SirSkidmore | ||
| kenneth_ | yes, histo, I think I might not have restarted it, now will try to use -b 4096 | 00:29 |
| Adeeb | Can someone please help me, I cannot add additional software sources. Im using ubuntu 11.10 . I added one software source and tried updating, i got this http://pastebin.com/t1y0Qq5d | 00:30 |
| histo | kenneth_: why are you even bothering allowusers USERID if you are using key based anyways? Only users that put keys on the server would be able to get in? | 00:30 |
| Nubuntu | Does Ubuntu 12.04 use grub2? | 00:30 |
| histo | Nubuntu: yes | 00:31 |
| kenneth_ | histo but I have a question, to copy the key file over, if you have password disabled, how do you do it, was my approach correct, to enable password then copy then disable it? | 00:31 |
| histo | Adeeb: that repository is probably down. | 00:31 |
| kenneth_ | histo also second random question, will this matter under a vpn. if I vpn in, my IP changes from 10. to 192. and i'm still able to access things in 10. but will that matter. by comparing the key, it only uses, key user id, and hostname | 00:32 |
| histo | kenneth_: yes or you'd have to use like usb or some other means to copy it over | 00:32 |
| kenneth_ | so it shouldn't matter right? | 00:32 |
| Adeeb | histo : You don't happen to know how to fix the backlight problem on a samsung then? I cannot change the brightness and adding the Linux on my Samsung repo was my only option | 00:33 |
| histo | kenneth_: it uses the public key you put on the server compaired to the private key on your client. IP does not matter. You will get a message about is this a known host? On your client but it will allow you to connect after that. | 00:33 |
| Nubuntu | alright, so that means in can be configured to default to Windows 7 right? My parents don't understand GRUB, and don't have the patience to learn it. | 00:33 |
| histo | Adeeb: have you tried passing kernel options at all? | 00:33 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as scottas | ||
| kenneth_ | histo alright. that helps a lot. thanks. | 00:34 |
| histo | Adeeb: try editing your /etc/default/grub file and appending acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy to your grb_commandline_linux_default default line. The sudo update-grub and reboot. You may only need the acpi_osi=Linux if not try both | 00:35 |
| histo | kenneth_: actually if you've already authorized it as a known_host you won't even get that message either. | 00:36 |
| === james_ is now known as riddlebox2 | ||
| kenneth_ | histo yes, you right, I just tested it under vpn and it worked too. | 00:37 |
| kenneth_ | histo I only use one client to access it. for now its the best I can do | 00:37 |
| Adeeb | histo : when you say "edit" the grub file, do you mean I should append that line you gave me? "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy" | 00:38 |
| IlikeMoose | can someone give me the correct scp syntax for copying a file from one machine to another? i tried looking at the man page but it is confusing me. here's a pastebin of what i've tried so far. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1188051/ | 00:38 |
| histo | kenneth_: is this a server that's accesible from the internet | 00:38 |
| histo | IlikeMoose: scp /home/mike/Documents/scptest mike@192.168.1.67:/path/where/you/want/it/togo or you replace /path/where.... with . to put it in yoru home | 00:39 |
| IlikeMoose | thanks histo :) | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | made to have the same syntax as cp basically with the addation of the user@server: part | 00:40 |
| kenneth_ | histo not any more, I stupidly used to map 22 on the route to 22 on the server. I shut down the 22 on the router, and I use a different port number, and i can only ssh when i'm vpn'ed in. But I still have vnc running though, because i need that to troubleshoot, in case vpn goes down | 00:40 |
| histo | IlikeMoose: you need the :/path/where/to a :. would put it in the home of the mike user | 00:40 |
| kenneth_ | histo, this might be pushing it, but do you use kerberos? | 00:40 |
| histo | IlikeMoose: so you can scp a file from one remote server to another scp mike@some.server.ip:/some/file mike@someother.remote.server:/path/destination | 00:41 |
| histo | kenneth_: No I just install fail2ban on all my ssh servers | 00:41 |
| histo | !info fail2ban | kenneth_ | 00:41 |
| ubottu | kenneth_: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-3 (precise), package size 82 kB, installed size 414 kB | 00:41 |
| zabomber | IlikeMoose: and if it's a different ssh port it would be scp -P <port> source/file/location username@server:path/to/destination | 00:41 |
| kenneth_ | histo I guess there must be ways to remove some hosts in case you blooped right? | 00:42 |
| IlikeMoose | got it, it's working !!! :) | 00:42 |
| histo | kenneth_: with fail2ban? or are you talking about known_hosts file? | 00:42 |
| IlikeMoose | now i just have to hope i can get this directory to scp :) | 00:42 |
| zabomber | kenneth_: i just finished writing a custom filter for pptpd blocking via fail2ban. whats your issue? | 00:43 |
| kenneth_ | histo with fail2ban | 00:43 |
| histo | kenneth_: yeah if you have access to the server or you have to wait for the ban period to be over. I think the default is 10 minutes which gets rid of most script kiddies | 00:43 |
| kenneth_ | zabomber not having an issue really, more of a question, was wondering if there will be a way to remove a host, if it got banned by mistake, ie you tried many times to auth and it failed | 00:44 |
| histo | IlikeMoose: scp -r will copy recursively | 00:44 |
| kenneth_ | histo yeah for now I have /etc/hosts.deny, everything that isn't an IP on my network or on my VPN. | 00:44 |
| unless | I didn't like Gnome. | 00:45 |
| unless | I prefer Unity. | 00:45 |
| nyRednek | unless: ok...isn't that the ubuntu default? | 00:45 |
| zabomber | kenneth_: depends on your ban action. you could most likely use an IPTABLE command to unban them as fail2ban uses iptables to ban hosts... | 00:45 |
| histo | kenneth_: gotcha that works as well. | 00:46 |
| zabomber | kenneth_: iptables --list or iptables -t TYPE --list e.g. iptables -t NAT --list | 00:46 |
| ev_ | i am following instructions http://auriza.site40.net/notes/ubuntu/audio-streaming-server-apache2/ and getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1188053/ any ideas? | 00:46 |

| ev_ | right | 00:47 |
| kenneth_ | thanks folks, always nice to get help around here. | 00:47 |

| publicrejoicer | greetings folks, wonder if anyone has some expertise in preseeding? I am trying to do a hands off preseed installation of 10.04 with the standard desktop. Goes through the script fine and reboots but does not start the GUI. I am using the server.iso not the desktop iso?? any thoughts much appreciated | 01:24 |
| dj_ryan | previa: uh | 01:25 |
| publicrejoicer | If I am in the wrong channel point me to someewhere else. thanks | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | publicrejoicer: uh | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | you gotta be kidding me right? | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | "im using server, but when i reboot X doesnt start" | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | use the desktop iso then | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | server doesnt include X11/gnome/etc | 01:25 |
| dj_ryan | hence "server" | 01:25 |
| W4sp | publicrejoicer: server does not come with xorg. | 01:26 |
| m6d4 | until unless its RHEL | 01:26 |
| publicrejoicer | yes but if I do a preseed file have task\tasksel set to ubuntu-desktop I should get the desktop install right ?? | 01:26 |
| Fudge | just install ubuntu-desktop | 01:26 |
| rizwan | how to install action voip , by using wine its not working | 01:27 |
| Fudge | its a metapackage that should pull in all your depends, if you dont need a server iamge why did you download it though | 01:27 |
| publicrejoicer | ok..well how do I preseed the ubuntu desktop iso so that it is hands off..? | 01:27 |
| W4sp | publicrejoicer: Why install server if you want desktop? | 01:27 |
| Fudge | publicrejoicer that doesnt make sense, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:27 |
| jen_ | is it safe to disable desktop wall to install cube rotation? | 01:27 |
| guest34324 | Hi guys! I am trying to convert a sparse file into one with all blocks allocated (without any blocks to spare). Is using "dd if=my.img of=my.img" (that is, using the same file as input and output) a bad idea? | 01:28 |
| ev_ | `trying to remove something via aptitude. actually i did remove it. now getting errors refering to said removed item. can i just delete the refrences? eg: line 210 /etc/..... blah blah, remove that line? | 01:29 |

| rizwan | lauratika : how to install action voip , by using wine its not working | 01:29 |
| rizwan | crashing | 01:30 |
| publicrejoicer | ok...so let me get this right....If I have to roll out 100's of 10.04 desktop images to PC's I do a preseed server install and then script a apt-get install ubuntu desktop?? | 01:30 |
| === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb | ||
| i7c | jen_: you can disable desktop wall, shouldnt have bad effects | 01:31 |
| i7c | jen_: if it does, just reenable it ;) | 01:31 |
| CellTech | Just got a webcam. how do I make it work? :) | 01:32 |
| lauratika | what version of wine you are using?? | 01:32 |
| rizwan | wine 1.5.11 | 01:33 |
| i7c | CellTech: plug it? ;) mine works from the beginning on | 01:34 |
| CellTech | I tried that. Isn't there a term command I can use to see if it's working clearly? | 01:34 |
| lauratika | rizawan: why you dont use another voip service like ekiga? | 01:34 |
| lauratika | rizwan seems this voip is not working on wine very well http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bShowAll=true&bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=version&sTitle=&sReturnTo=&iId=19158 | 01:35 |
| rizwan | i have already account with Action voip and have balance in that, can i configure actionvoip in ekiga? | 01:36 |
| lauratika | nope, you can use it as skype | 01:36 |
| octaviordz | hi, room some times my machine with ubuntu 12.04 freeze when booting, at the Ubuntu loading screen, any idea how can I find more info about why that happen... | 01:38 |
| IamSam | I am wanting to install Ubuntu without it writing grub to the MBR because I am wanting to use Chameleon as my boot loader. I have a partition all set. Could I just copy everything from the live USB to that partition? | 01:40 |
| rizwan | how to configure action voip in ekiga | 01:40 |
| ev_ | so is there a better way to uninstall stuff then what i did? having to go line by line in the conf file? | 01:41 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: yep | 01:41 |
| IamSam | How would I do that? Seems it won't let me "paste" anything to that partition. | 01:42 |
| h22turbo | ev_: apt-get --purge remove whatever-name | 01:42 |
| ev_ | h22turbo: will that work after i already did aptitude remove ....? | 01:43 |
| publicrejoicer | Any comments how one would roll out 100's of desktop images to pc's..all hands off etc | 01:43 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: boot to live USB, mount partition read/write, then in USB live terminal cd / then cp * /mnt/whatever-u-mounted-the-partiton-as/ | 01:44 |
| IamSam | @publicrejoicer We use Fog | 01:44 |
| h22turbo | ev_: it should... u may have to reinstall it, then just do apt-get --purge remove whatever | 01:45 |
| h22turbo | to get rid of any errors | 01:45 |

| IamSam | h22turbo Not sure how to mount it as read/write. I think its just mounting it as read. | 01:48 |
| kevin__ | why is avconv in favor of deprecated ffmpeg? | 01:49 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: mount -t <fstype> -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt/whatever | 01:51 |
| UbuntuBookPro | guys I still need help getting wireless setup. No matter what I try, I still get "firmware missing" | 01:51 |

| h22turbo | mount -o force,rw /dev/sda1 /media/whatever | 01:52 |
| L1 | With CairoDock, is it possible to have one dock in the bottom left of my screen, and another in the bottom right? | 01:53 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: if it's already mounted... then just remount it read/write.... mount -o remount,force,rw /dev/sda1 /media/whatever | 01:53 |
| L1 | Ah, got it, I can just Alt+drag docks around | 01:55 |
| xangua | L1 no idea but you can with Avant dock and Docky | 01:55 |
| alexr2 | Could someone tell me why gparted is saying that my freshly installed ubuntu is taking up 19.5 gigs of space? | 01:56 |

| alexr2 | i was under the impression that 10gigs is more than enough for a ubuntu and a ton of apps | 01:56 |
| IamSam | h22turbo Says I must specify a filesystem type | 01:58 |
| ev_ | h22turbo: i only created a small amount of text i got from here:http://auriza.site40.net/notes/ubuntu/audio-streaming-server-apache2/ , i deleted mod-music but keep getting synatx errors on certian lines when i try to restart apache. | 01:59 |
| SteevB | anyone else have the issue with xchat always showing the server list and connection complete dialog box even after checking dont show again? | 01:59 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: then use the -t <filesystem type> | 02:01 |
| atrius | okay.... since ubuntu doesn't put things in rcX.d and such... is there a way to list the service start order? | 02:03 |
| h22turbo | ev_: something is wrong somewhere... go to the lines in the config and see whats up... google search the syntax errors its giving you and see what u come up with | 02:03 |

| h22turbo | are u root or just using sudo? | 02:11 |
| IamSam | Was using sudo | 02:11 |
| IamSam | I need to change to root | 02:11 |
| h22turbo | IamSam: sudo passwd root, set root pass, then su, type root pass u just set, then try it | 02:13 |
| h22turbo | i dont think that will make a difference tho | 02:14 |
| WeThePeople | is that ipv6 | 02:14 |

| ubottu | h22turbo IamSam: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 02:14 |

| dj_ryan | also having a root password is like, a bad security risk | 02:15 |
| h22turbo | dj_ryan: who cares? stfu | 02:15 |
| mutio | it seems rather irresponsible to tell people to *not* set a root password | 02:15 |
| dj_ryan | why? | 02:16 |
| dj_ryan | no root password != empty root password | 02:16 |
| mutio | because with no password their installation is bound to be hacked and abused | 02:16 |
| dj_ryan | not so | 02:16 |
| dj_ryan | the password field is set to '!' which disallows password-based logins | 02:16 |

| phonebook_ | hi i need some dumb ubuntu help | 02:23 |
| phonebook_ | i want to install this https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/trunk | 02:23 |
| phonebook_ | sudo apt-get install ??? | 02:24 |
| phonebook_ | i dont understand how any of this works | 02:24 |
| phonebook_ | programs in the repository... which i guess are just popular/common programs? | 02:25 |
| atrius | phonebook_: the programs in the repositories are more than just the most popular and common ones... there is a very wide selection in there.. | 02:26 |
| atrius | i take it you're new to linux? | 02:26 |
| phonebook_ | atrius, yes | 02:26 |
| i7c | phonebook_: ubuntu has like 38000+ packages i think | 02:26 |
| crizis | phonebook_, is there any particular reason why you need development version? | 02:26 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: did you add the PPA shown on that page? if so, `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install inkscape` should be the end of it | 02:26 |
| atrius | phonebook_: do you want inkscape or do you really want the development version of inkscape? | 02:27 |
| phonebook_ | thx guys | 02:27 |
| phonebook_ | let me digest all that | 02:27 |
| crizis | phonebook_, or you can just open ubuntu software center, search for inkscape, click install | 02:28 |
| phonebook_ | worked, outstanding! | 02:29 |
| Logos01 | Hey Louis, you in here? | 02:29 |
| Logos01 | PM me if you read this. | 02:29 |
| phonebook_ | so it worked because "inkscape" is registered somewhere? | 02:29 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: so to speak | 02:30 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: software packages live in repos | 02:30 |
| Logos01 | To the room: I'm trying to run a chrooted instance of Ubuntu 12.04. Currently when I try to execute "chroot chroot_path init {#}" I get the following output: 'init: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused' | 02:30 |
| Logos01 | Has anyone seen this before? | 02:30 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: your machine has a list of repos it knows about in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 02:30 |
| jen | what does ubuntu 3D do? | 02:31 |
| === notschoolant is now known as ns|away | ||
| === jen is now known as Guest6266 | ||
| phonebook_ | starting to make sense now, actually | 02:31 |
| phonebook_ | so for example... | 02:31 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: when you ask Ubuntu to install a particular piece of software, it'll go searching for that package in the list of repos it knows about, and assuming it finds it there, will pull it down and install it | 02:32 |
| phonebook_ | got it | 02:32 |
| Guest6266 | what does ubuntu 3d do? | 02:32 |
| * Guest6266 fudge-ums | 02:32 | |
| phonebook_ | and if conflicts you namespace somehow... but there are probably never conflicts? | 02:32 |
| === Guest6266 is now known as fudge-umz | ||
| SteevB | anyone else have the issue with xchat always showing the server list and connection complete dialog box even after checking dont show again? | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | Guest6266: There is no such thing. | 02:33 |
| Logos01 | zhengyi , phonebook_ : That's not quite accurate. It searches through the cache of known software packages and if it gets a hit will pull *THAT* down from the repository. | 02:33 |
| phonebook_ | Logos01, so what if the same name is in two repositories? | 02:33 |
| xangua | !software | phonebook_ | 02:33 |
| ubottu | phonebook_: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 02:33 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: I don't believe there's any concept of namespaces in apt repos -- but conflicts can certainly happen, if you have a given piece of software in multiple repos | 02:34 |
| Logos01 | phonebook_: Well, conflicts can and do happen but generally it stops at the first hit. | 02:34 |
| zhengyi | phonebook_: in that case, apt decides which package to install based on something called "pinning" -- which you can go Google :) | 02:34 |
| Jordan_U | fudge-umz: There is Unity 3D, which is a GUI "Shell". Unity 3D inludes the launcher at the left of the screen and, through the compiz window manager, manages how you move windows among other things. | 02:34 |
| Logos01 | zhengyi: That's again a little different. | 02:34 |
| phonebook_ | ubottu, ..bot.... im saving all this to a text file for ref. all help is appreciated | 02:34 |
| Logos01 | That covers if you have different *VERSIONS* of the same software. | 02:34 |
| Logos01 | phonebook_: If you really want to specify the repository you're after, apt-pinning is however the way to go. | 02:35 |
| fudge-umz | Jordan_U, okay so i need that to have the '3d' box rotation? | 02:35 |
| Logos01 | -- anybody here ever seen that init issue in a chrooted Ubuntu instance, though? | 02:35 |
| Logos01 | "init: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused" | 02:35 |
| phonebook_ | you guys are the greatest, thx again, im off | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | Logos01: What version of Ubuntu (both in and outside the chroot)? | 02:36 |
| Logos01 | Jordan_U: No Ubuntu outside of chroot at all. Android. Inside is Ubuntu 12.04 | 02:36 |
| Logos01 | I can 'chroot chroot_path /bin/bash' just fine. | 02:36 |
| === |newbie| is now known as romeoh | ||
| Jordan_U | fudge-umz: You need to be using Compiz to get the 3D cube desktop switcher, you also need to be using Compiz to use Unity 3D. Why do you ask, are you just trying to find a way to get the 3D cube desktop swither? | 02:37 |
| ev_ | h22turbo: is there a way to 'fix' apache without overwriting my customized files? its been so long since i set it up i dont remember much... | 02:38 |
| fudge-umz | Jordan_U, I have compiz yes but I am on Ubuntu, as in regular ubuntu, does that make a difference? | 02:40 |
| Logos01 | fudge-umz: Unity 3D is just a nomenclature thing, really, to differentiate between the non-3D-graphics version of Unity, which exists for environments that lack access to a 3D graphics driver. | 02:42 |
| Logos01 | That's the primary difference between Unity 2D and Unity 3D. "Unity" itself is the default UI for recent versions of Ubuntu. (Started as default on 11.04 IIRC.) | 02:43 |
| fudge-umz | Logos01, what?? | 02:43 |
| fudge-umz | how can you tell if you disabled gnome? | 02:45 |
| Logos01 | fudge-umz: If you disabled gnome you couldn't run a GNOME environment. | 02:47 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, You have what release? | 02:47 |
| fudge-umz | 11.10 | 02:48 |
| Logos01 | GNOME itself isn't a service. It's a collection of programs that are your desktop. | 02:48 |
| fudge-umz | okay im on unity | 02:48 |
| Logos01 | Unity is Ubuntu's 'branding' of GNOME. | 02:48 |
| Logos01 | (I'm taking liberties with my description there.) | 02:48 |
| ev_ | when i comment out "include sites-enabled/" i get a NameVirtualHost error, even tho i am using a default 000-default file? any ideas, remove apache, and start over? | 02:49 |
| Logos01 | ev_: The standard notion is to include sites-enabled. And then symlink from sites-available to sites-enabled. | 02:50 |
| Logos01 | Then do apache2ctl configtest && apache2ctl graceful | 02:50 |
| Areckx | Having trouble with ampache | 02:51 |
| crizis | you can just use sudo a2ensite <sitename> and sudo a2dissite | 02:51 |
| crizis | no need to do symlink stuff manually | 02:51 |
| Logos01 | ev_: The reasoning here is that this way you can write up your virtual host configs and then you can choose which sites are enabled or not without having to purge your various configs. | 02:51 |
| ev_ | Logos01: if i uncomment sites-enabled then i get errors in a default 000 file. i will have to look into symlink, im too noob :( | 02:51 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, here is a site if you want to have some control on adding a deleting whole DE, look at playing around in the left column. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu | 02:51 |
| Logos01 | ev_: That's saying that your default file is misconfigured. | 02:52 |
| Logos01 | Commenting-out sites-enabled just tells Apache to not use any vhosts. | 02:52 |
| Logos01 | Which would produce your NameVirtualHost error. | 02:52 |
| Logos01 | Because it's complaining that you have no vhosts. | 02:52 |
| Areckx | I want to stream music from my ubuntu machine to my iphone | 02:52 |
| IamSam | Need help copying Ubuntu from live cd to partition 3 of a hard drive. I'm pretty new to linux. | 02:52 |
| ev_ | Logos01: i get errors on certian lines, i comment all those out and then i just get the NameVirtualHost error | 02:52 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: You don't "copy" it. You install. | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | IamSam: Are you trying to install Ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| Logos01 | Do a manual/custom isntallation and specify your harddrive in the menu. | 02:53 |
| Logos01 | (partition, rather.) | 02:53 |
| IamSam | Yes but I don't want it to write to the mbr | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | IamSam: Why not? | 02:53 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: Ahhh. Well if you do that you will not be able to boot up Ubuntu, unless your MBR can already do that. | 02:54 |
| IamSam | I'm using Chameleon to boot my first partition. | 02:54 |
| Logos01 | Not familiar with "Chameleon". | 02:54 |
| IamSam | Boot loader | 02:54 |
| Logos01 | ev_: Well, look into what those errors are and resolve them. Don't just comment them out. Those errors are there to tell you something's wrong. | 02:54 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: That's clear. But that doesn't help me know what Chameleon is. | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | IamSam: Chameleon can be loaded from grub, and grub can also load OSX directly. | 02:55 |
| Logos01 | Ahh. Chameleon is for OS X. | 02:55 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: Jordan_U is correct. The Ubuntu installer is very savvy about other OS's. | 02:55 |
| ev_ | Logos01: i understand that part, guess im not good enough to figure out why the lines are bad | 02:55 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: It will preserve the boot loader for your other OS in a way that makes it accessible *from* GRUB. (Menu item.) | 02:55 |
| Logos01 | And then chainload into it. | 02:56 |
| Logos01 | OS X, Windows, other Linux's, doesn't much matter. | 02:56 |
| IamSam | Hmm | 02:56 |
| fudge-umz | i cant get the burn affect on compiz, how do I install that? | 02:56 |
| Logos01 | ev_: Well, given what you just described... I guess the best bet for you is to completely 'nuke' your Apache2 instance and start over. | 02:56 |
| Logos01 | Make sure you read the man page for apache and for httpd.conf | 02:56 |
| Logos01 | Note: Apache itself is something people get paid fulltime to work with the configs of. | 02:57 |
| dragonfly224 | Evening | 02:57 |
| IamSam | I just want to copy all the files from my live usb to partition 3 which is an ext4 partition. | 02:57 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: That won't be bootable, however. | 02:57 |
| Logos01 | You wouldn't be able to run it if you "just copy" the files. | 02:57 |
| IamSam | The boot loader will see it. | 02:57 |
| Logos01 | Chameleon is capable of booting into Linux? | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | IamSam: Things don't work that way. | 02:58 |
| Logos01 | I don't believe it is. | 02:58 |
| IamSam | Just like it sees the windows partition and can boot it. | 02:58 |
| dragonfly224 | if no one minds, can I grab some help once this issue is sorted? | 02:59 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: Okay, sure. How did you get that to happen, IamSam? | 02:59 |
| Logos01 | Did you install Windows first? Or second? | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, search on google with "burn affect on compiz" the first page is just that alone. | 02:59 |
| IamSam | Windows first | 02:59 |
| Jordan_U | IamSam: Just copying files to a partition doesn't make it bootable on BIOS based systems (it's technically possible on [U]EFI systems but even then OS installers don't generally if ever work that way). | 02:59 |
| Logos01 | dragonfly224: Heh. I'm still waiting for help on my issue. | 02:59 |
| dragonfly224 | Whats your issue? | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, Its been awhile so I don't remember exactly. | 03:00 |
| Logos01 | IamSam: Alright, try this. Do as I earlier suggested. Install from disk to the partition. | 03:00 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest36333 | ||
| Logos01 | You will be asked where to put GRUB. | 03:00 |
| Logos01 | Choose the *partition* Ubuntu will live in. | 03:00 |
| fudge-umz | wilee-nilee, it doesnt come with gnome shell? | 03:00 |
| ev_ | Logos01: thats sounding like a good idea, found out im missing authz_hos somehow... | 03:00 |
| IamSam | ok | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, Gnome shell is a different window manager, nah. | 03:00 |
| Logos01 | This will place the GRUB bootloader onto your system which will then be accessed by Chameleon to boot your system. | 03:00 |
| Logos01 | You will have to update Chameleon separately, however. | 03:01 |
| fudge-umz | wilee-nilee, well mine as only a few animations :< | 03:01 |
| Logos01 | If this doesn't work, just format the partition and try something else. :) | 03:01 |

| IamSam | that is where I am at now. I have already done that. And I did get the menu but when it passed it to the chameleon it wouldn't boot the OSX partition correctly | 03:02 |
| wilee-nilee | fudge-umz, You would need the gnome-extensions for any I believe more than stock. | 03:02 |
| wilee-nilee | and the gnome tweak tool | 03:02 |
| fudge-umz | wilee-nilee, and how do i get that? | 03:02 |
| Logos01 | dragonfly224: I'm very, very, *very* used to that being the result of my trips to this channel. | 03:02 |
| atrius | so... any idea of how i can change the order services are started on boot? none of the ways i know work on ubuntu :( | 03:03 |

| jen_ | sudo apt-get install gnome tweak tool? | 03:06 |
| dragonfly224 | Well ok then, my issue is getting my wifi to come up. I don't think it's even detecting the integrated adapter | 03:06 |

| dragonfly224 | It works with wired, just not wireless. I tried the google route and went through all the steps to no avail | 03:07 |
| wilee-nilee | jen_, sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool once installed it is called advanced settings | 03:07 |
| jen_ | yeah Im a derp, I already have it | 03:07 |
| jen_ | so how do I get the burn affect from this and compiz? | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | jen_, gnome-tweak is for gnome 3 which does not use compiz. | 03:09 |
| jen_ | okay im reaaallly confuzed now | 03:09 |
| jen_ | im on unity I am sure... | 03:09 |

| dragonfly224 | Yes, wired works fine | 03:10 |
| jen_ | i have compiz but I want the window burn affect and it is not there | 03:10 |

| wilee-nilee | jen_, there is actually a #compiz channel small amout of people there but just an idea. | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | dragonfly224: Do you mind booting from a LiveCD, so that I dont need to worry about steps you've previously done (starting from a clean slate)? | 03:11 |
| xangua | jen_: wilee-nilee unity and gnome-shell use gnome3 | 03:11 |
| wilee-nilee | xangua, yeah I should have said that. | 03:11 |
| dragonfly224 | Not at all, brb. | 03:12 |

| smoochict | ebs512: Ubuntu is free, along with other open source distros. you can't expect support | 03:26 |
| ebs512 | no such thing as a "community" android is free and we have a good community | 03:27 |

| smoochict | steve91s: so does it show the contents of boot.ini? | 03:31 |
| steve91s | yes | 03:31 |
| smoochict | steve91s, it could be that the partition or so hasn't been mounted in write mode, eg: read-only | 03:31 |

| delinquentme | Guest81535, find out what the graphics card is and get drivers for it | 03:38 |
| hlpme | It was sort of working for a while, then I re-installed Ubuntu and the bootloader got messed up. | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest81535, Have you looked in the additional drivers, strange that one would work but not the other. | 03:39 |
| hlpme | Now I'm trying to fix it. I have nothing to lose on the Ubuntu installation so we can reinstall at will. | 03:39 |
| hlpme | if I can fix the bootloader I also have some questions about 12.04 | 03:39 |

| Guest81535 | I appologize for my spelling. I am working and typing at the same time. | 03:56 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: The boot info script RESULTS.txt show that your BIOS based grub installation is broken, if you run grub-install to fix it then you should be able to boot normally again. | 03:57 |

It is ubuntu 12.04 64 bit live off a flash drive. I don't see my card listed as "fully compatible", will it be possible to work around this or should I give up using ubuntu with this card now? | 04:11 |
| delinquentme | waaait a minute ... Is this tutorial saying to install VirtualBox *within* the guest OS running on the Host comp.. through VirtualBox? | 04:11 |
| delinquentme | nm! | 04:12 |
| biohazrd | whats the best way to update then? | 04:12 |
| xangua | biohazrd: use apt-get or the update manager | 04:12 |

| biohazrd | not using gui at all on this server | 04:12 |
| biohazrd | its been like 15 years since using debian | 04:13 |
| wilee-nilee | delinquentme, http://imagebin.org/227365 | 04:13 |
| crimsonmane | biohazrd: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" (or dist-upgrade if you know the difference) | 04:13 |

| dragonfly224 | wifi still is not working :( | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | dragonfly224: What is the output of "sudo modprobe b43"? | 04:26 |
| dragonfly224 | Nothing? | 04:27 |
| delinquentme | So IM half way through this walkthrough: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso | 04:29 |
| delinquentme | and they've introduced a new term | 04:29 |
| delinquentme | instead of " Host " and " Guest " | 04:29 |
| delinquentme | there is now a " CLIENT " | 04:29 |
| delinquentme | should I assume that "CLIENT" == "GUEST" ? | 04:29 |
| dragonfly224 | sudo modprobe b43 does nothing | 04:32 |
| blz | dragonfly224, have you checked to see if your card is supported? | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | dragonfly224: Can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig list"? | 04:32 |
| dragonfly224 | Yes | 04:32 |
| dragonfly224 | sec | 04:32 |
| blz | dragonfly224, ok, just thought I'd check =) | 04:32 |
| dragonfly224 | list No such device | 04:33 |
| dragonfly224 | However, it does show up in the hardware... hold on I forgot the string | 04:33 |

| dragonfly224 | I followed (before I did a fresh install) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx and still could not get it to work | 04:37 |
| dragonfly224 | If I boot from a liveCD it says that the wireless is disabled, but it's not blocked according to rfkill list all | 04:38 |
| dragonfly224 | The keyboard combo to enable wifi (on windows it would make the wifi light turn on/off) does nothing | 04:38 |
| dragonfly224 | Oh, and when booted from HDD it does not mention wireless at all in the drop down menu | 04:39 |

| delinquentme | it was pulled off this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso | 04:45 |

| tester | need help | 04:45 |
| ivan_lin | hi | 04:46 |
| tester | how can i solve "host not found" | 04:46 |
| jeep | delinquentme: isnt -o used for bind mounts like when you do a chroot ? | 04:46 |
| crimsonmane | tester: what are you trying to access? | 04:46 |
| tester | facebook only | 04:46 |
| cowsquad | how do I uninstall compiz from ubuntu 12/04 | 04:46 |
| delinquentme | jeep, I believe so ... but the -t is whats giving me issues | 04:46 |
| tester | but thr result is "host not found" | 04:46 |
| delinquentme | so im not sure what thats supposed to be .. but mkdir doesnt have a " -t " option | 04:47 |
| simon_ | hi | 04:47 |
| jeep | delinquentme: -t sets the type of partititon like -t ntfs or -text4 ect. | 04:47 |
| jeep | delinquentme: type of filesystem on the partititon i should say | 04:47 |
| jeep | delinquentme: are you trying to mount a virtual box disk ? | 04:48 |
| hlpme | I got round to running grub-install | 04:48 |
| crimsonmane | tester: it would generally mean you're not online, or it's blocked by your router. | 04:48 |
| delinquentme | jeep, Oh ok so im telling it that its a particular "vboxsf" | 04:48 |
| delinquentme | yeah :D | 04:48 |
| hlpme | first I mounted the EFI partition with sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 04:48 |
| simonspro | hi | 04:48 |
| jeep | delinquentme: what page are you looking at ? | 04:48 |
| tester | router i dont think so... | 04:49 |
| tester | because its using the windows ...its working | 04:49 |
| hlpme | then I ran sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda | 04:49 |
| delinquentme | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso | 04:49 |

| hlpme | it failed with a "this GTP partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition" | 04:49 |
| delinquentme | jeep, ctrl + F on the page for " sudo mount -t vboxsf " | 04:49 |

| lwhalen | hey all, I'm installing the latest 12.04.1 LTS release on a Dell Dimension 4100 (PIII, .5GB RAM). It's gone smoothly getting the OS on, but the machine's only network connection is a Netgear WPS111 USB wireless adapter | 04:51 |
| jeep | vkas: what does uname -mrs show ? | 04:52 |
| lwhalen | I'm pretty sure I'll need to use ndiswrapper, but I can't enable the 'additional hardware' repos/modules without a network connection | 04:52 |
| lwhalen | is there a way to load the appropriate packages from the CD? | 04:52 |
| vkas | jeep: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 | 04:52 |
| tester | i dont now...but i`m try to testing only | 04:53 |
| jeep | lwhalen: you will have to get a net connection or manually download/transfer packages | 04:53 |
| lwhalen | I tried re-enabling the CD as an available source via the Update Manager, but the package manager doesn't seem to recognize | 04:53 |
| xangua | lwhalen: ndiswrapper is in the live cd, just go to software center, edit, sources and check it in the first tab | 04:53 |
| jeep | vkas: you have 32bit repos in your /apt/sources.list which should be fix those then run apt-get update | 04:53 |
| lwhalen | jeep: how can I figure out which packages I'll need in addition to ndiswrapper? | 04:53 |
| lwhalen | xangua: I'm pretty sure I did that, but it still won't let me install ndiswrapper | 04:54 |
| xezexal | Something is fucky with my netbook | 04:54 |
| jeep | lwhalen: its a mofo to be honest do you have cable you can plug in ? | 04:54 |
| lwhalen | are there more packages I'll need besides ndiswrapper, or does that package pretty much have everything I'll need? | 04:54 |
| lwhalen | jeep: unfortunately, no. This is for a small school that has. . . limited network connectivity | 04:54 |
| lwhalen | hence the ghetto wireless USB solution | 04:54 |
| xezexal | It says it's connected to wifi yet I can't connect to the internet | 04:54 |
| jeep | lwhalen: what does lsusb identify the device as ? | 04:55 |
| tester | see that | 04:55 |
| tester | tester@tester~$ sudo gedit /etc/vbox/interfaces | 04:55 |
| tester | (gedit:3208): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/status of theme Snow Sabre black has no size field | 04:55 |
| lwhalen | . . . to be honest, I didn't think to run lsusb | 04:55 |
| tester | how can i do | 04:55 |
| lwhalen | I don't have the server handy at the moment, unfortunately | 04:55 |
| xangua | lwhalen: did you reload the sources¿ | 04:56 |
| lwhalen | it's definitely a netgear WPN111 though | 04:56 |
| lwhalen | xangua: I did, to no avail | 04:56 |
| xangua | lwhalen: you could also just explore the cd and search for the deb's, you need ndiswrapper and ndisgtk | 04:56 |
| lwhalen | via commandline though - apt-cache clean; apt-get install ndiswrapper | 04:56 |
| xangua | or from the machine you are talking to us and download ndiswrapper and ndisgtk deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 04:57 |
| xangua | lwhalen: | 04:57 |
| lwhalen | schweet | 04:58 |
| xezexal | Something is wrong with my netbook | 04:58 |
| lwhalen | I don't have the server handy (I'm at home now, but this box is at the music school), but I'm taking notes and will give this a shot tomorrow | 04:58 |
| xangua | does that package pretty much have everything I'll need? - you'll need the .inf file of the windows driver if that is what you mean | 04:58 |

| ruedii | Krishnandu, check that Ubuntu doesn't already have a driver. You don't need the proprietary driver if Ubuntu has a driver. | 05:10 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, I have checked that yesterday whole day, ubuntu drivers are not working | 05:10 |
| gmachine_24 | ugh. I did crontab -e to edit the line but how do I save the changes? I think I am supposed to "write out" the line or file or whatever but how do I do that? In other words, how do I save the changes? | 05:11 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, I've checked evtouch, multitouch, elographics | 05:11 |
| ruedii | Krishnandu did you look up what model touch screen is in it? | 05:11 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, It's an Industrial PC. | 05:12 |
| ruedii | You shouldn't have to force install the drivers, they should auto-detect. | 05:12 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, PPC actually. | 05:12 |
| ruedii | Yes, I know, but what model touch screen is in it. | 05:12 |
| greasegum | has anyone else been having serious flash video problems lately? I am assuming this is widespread phenom. | 05:12 |
| ruedii | It doesn't matter, they use components, those components have controler models. | 05:12 |
| hlpme | any help with my grub problem? | 05:12 |
| hlpme | I'd be grateful | 05:12 |
| jeep | vkas look in /etc/apt/sources.d/ for another file | 05:13 |
| ruedii | hlpme I'm having grub problems as well. If your's are different I might have probably come across the solution already. | 05:13 |
| hlpme | it won't boot. I'm trying to re-install it. I am using GPT and EFI. I am multi-booting. Or would if it worked. | 05:14 |
| gmachine_24 | Is there somewhere I can check to see if the cron jobs have run? | 05:14 |
| hlpme | the latest error message is "this GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition" | 05:14 |
| gmachine_24 | greasegum, flash video in what program or browser or just running a flash video by itself? | 05:14 |
| hlpme | this is from grub-install | 05:15 |
| hlpme | I have a 200MB EFI partition at /dev/sda1 | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: You need to create a BIOS Boot Partition. | 05:15 |
| hlpme | does it need something else? | 05:15 |
| hlpme | an additional partition? | 05:15 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, http://www.advantech.com/products/TPC-1570H/mod_67CA3C40-CAC7-48FF-9D1D-A64BD3B47733.aspx | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: Yes. | 05:15 |
| hlpme | I thought I wasn't using BIOS but EFI | 05:15 |
| hlpme | I thought it was one or the other | 05:15 |
| hlpme | I'm new to EFI so excuse my confusion | 05:16 |
| cnmj0011 | hello | 05:16 |
| hlpme | what's the 200MB partition for if not booting? | 05:16 |
| gmachine_24 | tester, is there somewhere I can check to see if a cron job has executed? | 05:17 |
| dragonfly224 | How do I enable wireless if the option is grayed out and sudo rfkill unblock all does nothing, soft/hard blocked all list as no now | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: It's for the EFI System Partition, which is used when booting via [U]EFI. The BIOS Boot Partition is used on GPT labels when booting via BIOS. | 05:17 |
| greasegum | trying to play flash video in chrome, mainly, but having same issues in firefox | 05:17 |
| greasegum | bug is the video plays at fast forward speeds | 05:17 |
| greasegum | but not all the time | 05:18 |
| greasegum | sometimes it works well | 05:18 |
| gmachine_24 | greasegum, I got some error in Firefox saying the latest version of Flash is buggy and asking if I wanted to revert to the previous version | 05:18 |
| hlpme | so I'm getting the error because I booted the LiveCD (USB drive) using BIOS? | 05:18 |
| hlpme | instead of UEFI? | 05:18 |
| m6d4 | gmachine_24: grep -i cron /var/log/syslog | 05:18 |
| greasegum | gmachine_24:: did you experience any problems though? | 05:18 |
| tester | but ist working now.. | 05:18 |
| gmachine_24 | greasegum, no. | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: No, you're getting the error message because you're installing grub-pc (rather than grub-efi). | 05:18 |
| ruedii | Krishnandu that information doesn't help you need to look up the controller in your controller info in the appropriate program (lspci, etc.), and then find the appropriate driver. If you install all of the drivers, X.Org should detect it automatically. However, if it doesn't, you may need to look up your device ID. | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: ... and you don't have a BIOS Boot Partition. | 05:19 |
| greasegum | I heard adobe stopped supporting linux. I | 05:19 |
| tester | ops... | 05:19 |
| tester | why .. | 05:19 |
| greasegum | I'm just surprised how fast the bugs started popping up | 05:19 |
| tester | oooo | 05:19 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, Well, can you please provide some general info regarding how to proceed? I mean how can I look up controller for touch screen and al? | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: So create a BIOS Boot Partition with GParted, simply create an "unformatted" partition 1 MiB and add the "bios_grub" label to it. | 05:20 |
| tester | ok i got samsung galaxy note | 05:20 |
| tester | how can i do to open the terminal in android | 05:20 |
| hlpme | Do I need a BIOS partition? Why not GPT and UEFI throughout? | 05:20 |
| gmachine_24 | m6d4, thank you. | 05:20 |
| Jordan_U | tester: This is #ubuntu, not #android. | 05:20 |
| nyRednek | tester: there's a terminal application, i forget the name | 05:20 |
| tester | ops sory | 05:20 |
| hlpme | It was working yesterday without a BIOS partition | 05:21 |
| hlpme | unless I'm overlooking something | 05:21 |
| greasegum | see I figured this looked like the kind of problem lots of people might be having, what with everyone being affected by the adobe decision to ice linux support. But I'm not finding any good tech support at all. | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: Without a BIOS Boot Partition it will work, but grub will be more likely to break (which it did). | 05:21 |
| hlpme | is there a better bootloader? | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: If you had had a BIOS Boot Partition to start with you probably wouldn't be having problems now. | 05:22 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: It's not a limitation of grub, the same thing will happen with any BIOS based bootloader when using GPT. | 05:22 |
| hlpme | I can afford to reinstall everthing since this is a fresh system. I should note that I want to install Win8 without problems in the near future so I want to configure my system now with that in mind | 05:22 |
| hlpme | is there a EFI-based bootloader I could/should be using instead? | 05:23 |
| hlpme | or is EFI just a headache? | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: I don't have much time, you can take my advice or not but be advised that after 10 minutes I will be gone. If you follow my advice, I'm almost certain I can get you booting again (more reliably that before). | 05:24 |
| IlikeMoose | does anyone have any experience setting up a domain at freedns.afraid.org? i need to know if i should point my subdomains to my router ip address or if i should point them to the non-routable ip addresses on my side of the router. | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | hlpme: EFI is a headache. | 05:24 |
| jeep | anyone tried compiling kde 2.2 ish on ubuntu ? | 05:24 |
| greasegum | you point them to the global ip of your router | 05:24 |
| hlpme | I appreciate your help, Jordan. | 05:24 |
| greasegum | your external ip, rather | 05:25 |
| ruedii | Krishnandu Well your first best bet is to install all input device drivers, then boot. One of them might work, it won't use the ones that aren't needed. If that doesn't work you probably want to go and identify your touch screen controller with something like hardinfo or lshw-gtk | 05:25 |
| IlikeMoose | greasegum, but that ip changes, will i have to keep updating the ip address or will one of those scripts do it automatically for me? | 05:25 |
| Krishnandu | hmm you mean sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-* | 05:26 |
| greasegum | IlikeMoose:: you need a dynamic dns client to update the dns when your ip changes | 05:26 |
| ccbn | Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and I'm having trouble getting my Nvidia Geforce GT 430 working with the proprietary Nvidia drivers.

| SecretFire | I have been trying to find a tarball, but not sure which to get | 05:28 |
| IlikeMoose | greasegum, i had this running once before but it was 5+ years ago and i don't remember what all i had to do to get it running :) | 05:28 |
| ruedii | Krishnandu If that doesn't work you should see what your controller is and search for info online. | 05:28 |
| ruedii | You can use something like lshw for that. | 05:28 |
| Krishnandu | ruedii, Thanks :) | 05:28 |
| bazhang | !info qtractor | SecretFire | 05:29 |
| ubottu | SecretFire: qtractor (source: qtractor): MIDI/Audio multi-track sequencer application. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.4-1 (precise), package size 1146 kB, installed size 3343 kB | 05:29 |
| Krishnandu | Let me try the basic input drivers first as per your suggestion :) | 05:29 |
| dragonfly224 | hmm | 05:29 |
| bazhang | SecretFire, simply install from repositories | 05:29 |
| m6d4 | IlikeMoose: most of the recent routers are dyndns service build in, all you need to fill in are your username/passwd for service you use | 05:29 |
| ruedii | It very likely could be a standard USB or PS/2 touchscreen device | 05:29 |
| SecretFire | bazhang : do you mean synaptic | 05:29 |
| greasegum | IlikeMoose:: yeah check your router settings page | 05:30 |
| bazhang | SecretFire, yes | 05:30 |
| SecretFire | got it | 05:30 |
| tsimpson | SecretFire: you probably have Qt 4.7 or 4.8 already, if you want to compile software using Qt, then you want libqt4-dev | 05:30 |
| SecretFire | I understand | 05:31 |
| greasegum | IlikeMoose:: if you have dd-wrt installed on your router it's a snap to set up | 05:31 |
| SecretFire | when trying to run qtractor i get this message : Make sure the JACK audio server (jackd) and/or | 05:32 |
| SecretFire | the ALSA Sequencer kernel module (snd-seq-midi) | 05:32 |
| SecretFire | are up and running and then restart the session. | 05:32 |
| SecretFire | what does that mean | 05:32 |
| greasegum | sidenote: I personally prefer dyndns.com. if you're not super attached to afraid.org IlikeMoose check them out. I think they allow you to manage 1 free domain | 05:33 |

| dragonfly224 | Alright so everything almost works for wireless (wired works) except I need the firmware...except when I download the firmware via settings>additional drivers it goes back to being all the way broken. ie not even grayed out just not there at all in anyway. Thoughts? | 05:48 |
| dragonfly224 | Wireless is enabled now (yaaay) just no firmware | 05:49 |
| dragonfly224 | Should I go take coding classes and just make something nosofirmware to substitute the firmware that makes it only show wired? | 05:51 |
| dragonfly224 | *notsofirmware | 05:51 |
| dragonfly224 | The Broadcom STA wireless driver is the bad firmware that makes wireless go away if anyone is curious | 05:52 |

| dragonfly224 | Krishnandu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD | 05:54 |
| crizis | Krishnandu, you can just boot off to livecd | 05:54 |
| crizis | Krishnandu, and mount your hard drive from livecd terminal | 05:54 |
| dragonfly224 | Remember to set CD>HDD in bios boot setting so cd boots first, or just press f11 or f12 to manually select it for one boot | 05:55 |
| Krishnandu | crizis, Thanks :) | 05:56 |

| wurmphlegm | crimsonmane: i was able to put Bridge Linux on my usb stick, and that worked well in unetbootin...hmm maybe it's the way the thumbdrive is formatted | 06:56 |
| adib | i guess no one here tried running 12.04 on an macbook 8.1 and got the touchpad d river to work? | 06:56 |
| fidel | gordonjcp: hehe yep i was wondering as well how login & alt+f2 are connected | 06:56 |
| hlpme | ok fidel. gordon: to reset unity | 06:56 |
| gordonjcp | hlpme: that makes no sense | 06:56 |
| gordonjcp | pressing alt-f2 pops up a search box, for typing in the name of a program to run | 06:56 |
| fidel | gordonjcp: he means executing alt+fe and entering r to reload gnome shell i assume | 06:56 |
| gordonjcp | adib: is that "Late 2007"? | 06:56 |
| wurmphlegm | crimsonmane: so when i open the thumbdrive like a folder, i see all the Opensuse files from the iso in there...i think it's maybe the boot part that doesn't configure right | 06:57 |
| TheDixieRose | am i in the right place for tech help this time? | 06:57 |
| fidel | which should be != login ;) | 06:57 |
| hlpme | to run a command suggested earlier: unity --reset | 06:57 |

| fidel | TheDixieRose: if its ubuntu-related ...yes | 06:57 |

| crimsonmane | wurmphlegm: try LiLi | 06:58 |
| TheDixieRose | okay, i got this toshiba laptop from a friend and he hadn;t used a security program in over a year.....so I deleted all of the expired security apps and tried to install Norton....It wouldn;t let me and blocked every attempt, so I dropped the firewalls and installed it that way....then when I started to run the app everything went to hell in a hand basket....my guess is some kind of trojan......now I have succeeded in wiping | 06:58 |
| adib | gordonjcp: the mid 2011 with the broadcom 4331 wireless chip | 06:58 |
| hlpme | shouldn't I be able to hit alt+f7 and return to Unity? when I do that get the terminal prompt in graphical mode with the mouse pointer | 06:58 |
| fidel | TheDixieRose: you are talking about windows now right? how is that ubuntu-related? | 06:59 |
| wurmphlegm | crimsonmane: found something in a forum saying that the syslinux version in unetbootin needs to be updated to support the latest version of an OS | 06:59 |
| crimsonmane | TheDixieRose: I don't see a request for help in there. | 06:59 |
| TheDixieRose | oops reinstall using the only available option which is through the ubuntu live cd.... | 06:59 |

| wurmphlegm | crimsonmane: gonna just try to format it to fat32 before i try again. | 07:00 |
| crimsonmane | wurmphlegm: none of that matters | 07:00 |
| TheDixieRose | well my hdd has taken a beating and i cannot boot from a disk nor the usb ports....i am able to use the ubuntu live cd, but its above my skill level as to how to utilize for making repairs....this is where the 'help' part comes in, lol... | 07:01 |
| crimsonmane | TheDixieRose: i don't think anyone here is interested in helping you fix your Microsoft computer | 07:01 |
| TheDixieRose | i am on ubuntu !! lol... | 07:02 |

| crimsonmane | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads TheDixieRose | 07:06 |
| gordonjcp | TheDixieRose: you can pop the hard disk out, install on another machine, and put it back in | 07:06 |
| TJ- | TheDixieRose: Probably the HDD could be bad? When using the LiveCD, when the installer begins to have problems, start the "Log file Viewer" and check the file "/var/log/kern.log" for reports that indicate physical errors on the hard disk drive. | 07:06 |

| usr13 | TheDixieRose: Norton was a bad idea, it uses too much in the way of system resources, (which in the situation you were in, there more-than-likely was not much of). | 07:08 |
| wurmphlegm | lol Norton protects you from viruses by not making your computer run at all! | 07:08 |
| wurmphlegm | hah | 07:08 |
| crimsonmane | lol | 07:08 |
| crimsonmane | nearly all viruses prevent you from installing antivirus post-infection | 07:08 |
| crimsonmane | that's what RKILL is for | 07:09 |
| fragmachine | does anyone know why mechanize fails with https now? | 07:09 |
| fragmachine | I have a script that used tp work perfect but now it always fails | 07:09 |
| TheDixieRose | well the thing was my friend didn't have any security active for over a year....i'm not suprised that a trojan ended up embedded in the system..... | 07:09 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: when i did use windows..i used AVG Free | 07:09 |
| fragmachine | I get this error: Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect | 07:10 |
| crimsonmane | TheDixieRose: usually it's easiest to boot into the admin account, delete the user account, reboot and continue with the user account. | 07:10 |
| TheDixieRose | well let me ask ya'll this....if i totally wiped the system, i should be able to boot up my unbutu install disk from the git right? | 07:10 |
| fragmachine | oh shit wrong channel | 07:10 |
| fragmachine | sorry | 07:10 |
| usr13 | TheDixieRose: http://rescuedisk.kaspersky-labs.com/rescuedisk/updatable/kav_rescue_10.iso | 07:10 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: yes | 07:10 |
| crimsonmane | TheDixieRose: if you can't boot from your ubuntu CD now, then you never will | 07:10 |
| crimsonmane | what is currently on the HDD doesn't affect booting. | 07:11 |
| usr13 | TheDixieRose: If you suspect the CD is too scratched up to read accurately, I'd re-download and make a new one. | 07:11 |
| TheDixieRose | well, i am using the live disk on the pc now talking to you guys and it works pretty good, but the error msg when i try to boot reg. is the windows root system 32 hal.dll is missing or gone | 07:12 |
| TJ- | TheDixieRose: The best fix for that is to install Ubuntu :p To fix Windows, you'd need to use the Windows installer CD, a Windows recovery CD, or a Windows Recovery partition (usually hidden) on the PC's hard drive. | 07:14 |
| TheDixieRose | everything was working okay till i tried to install norton in windows....then it just went nuts and my files began becoming infected and the trojan spread pretty darned quick first knocking out the ability to boot from disk and usb | 07:14 |
| TJ- | TheDixieRose: You need to talk to Windows people about that | 07:15 |
| bolosaur | What does it means when you hook Ubuntu up to a TV, and the screen is misaligned on the TV? | 07:16 |
| bolosaur | Like, 10% of the screen is pushed outside the left side. | 07:16 |
| bolosaur | I don't know how to fix it. :/ | 07:16 |
| TheDixieRose | wurmphlegm , you're sure? i did like a soft wipe app that just wrote over files with 0's so that i could retrieve the info later, but it didn't solve my boot problem... and not my hdd is send me warnings of imminet failure... | 07:16 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: Ubuntu = Clean, Faster, Smarter. No viruses, No Anti-Viruses Needed, No Malware, No Defragging...Personally..its the way to go | 07:17 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: you needing to get back into your windows? but your computer wont boot it right? | 07:17 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: It means the TV isn't/can't tell the PC's video driver the correct modelines it requires... You can create custom modelines based on what you can discover about that TV (sometimes from using a Windows PC and a diagnostic application that reports modelines), then add those modelines manually to the Linux driver through the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and/or using the command-line 'xrandr' program to test them | 07:17 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: That sounds more technical than what I'm capable of doing. | 07:18 |
| TheDixieRose | <wurmphlegm> definately preachin to the choir on that one, i am a believer in just the lil time i've been on here, but the bottom lying issue is the hdd and what i caqn do to fix it.... | 07:18 |
| bolosaur | Worth noting is that if I change the resolution and then back again, it suddenly works right. | 07:18 |
| bolosaur | Does your answer still apply despite this? | 07:19 |
| jen | how do you get the launcher thing that resembles a mac's launcher thing? | 07:19 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: That's weird... if that is true, you can use 'xrandr' to capture the 'good' ModeLine and put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:19 |

| === Guest1422 is now known as fuzzylumpkins | ||
| TJ- | bolosaur: This should help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 07:20 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: they do make a live cd just for hardrive recovery | 07:20 |
| bolosaur | Okay TJ, I'll look into it. | 07:20 |
| bolosaur | Thanks. | 07:20 |
| TheDixieRose | <wurmphlegm> i'm on it now....but i'm afraid its above my skill level at this point and i have no idea how to utilize the tools.... | 07:21 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Bear in mind, it could be that the TV is not responding correctly first time to the same modeline being set... it might just need some kind of 'kick' to accept it properly | 07:21 |
| fuzzylumpkins | or um desktop launcher | 07:21 |
| bolosaur | Well it's annoying because I want to use my Ubuntu laptop as a media station. It's tucked under my TV among a bunch of loose cables, so having to pull it out, open the lid and change the reoslution is kind of a hassle. | 07:22 |
| bolosaur | I hope I can manage to fix this. | 07:22 |
| lauratika | im trying to install devede in 12.04 but it says it has to remove a bunch of files... is this ok? | 07:22 |
| bolosaur | Maybe someone can write me a script or something. :P | 07:22 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: the hardrive sounds like it's going to need to be wiped for sure. I can walk you through that by using gparted. Then you will need to install a fresh copy of a new OS | 07:22 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: I had a similar experience recently with a HD TV that won't play nice with this laptop and Ubuntu, but will with Windows. I've still not got it to behave! | 07:23 |
| TheDixieRose | <wurmphlegm> i just sent you a private chat if that's okay so that i can keep up with your posts if you will walk me through it... | 07:24 |
| bolosaur | Ah I see. | 07:24 |
| bolosaur | That sucks. | 07:24 |
| bolosaur | It's kind of hard to gauge this kind of stuff when you're buying your TV. :/ | 07:24 |
| wurmphlegm | TheDixieRose: yeah that's no problem | 07:24 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: yeah... it's taught me to take the laptop with me to test :D | 07:25 |
| usr13 | lauratika: Yes | 07:25 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: Yeah, I just realized that I should probably do this next time (though this TV I got for free, hehe) | 07:27 |
| bolosaur | Thanks mate. :) | 07:27 |
| lauratika | usr13 thanx | 07:28 |

| hlpme | can anyone help me reset unity? I have no apps in the Dash and no bar | 07:32 |
| hlpme | I tried unity --reset already | 07:32 |
| hlpme | it hangs on updating run_key | 07:33 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Do you have compiz running too? | 07:34 |
| hlpme | yes, according to ps -all | 07:35 |
| hlpme | I opened a terminal ... | 07:35 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Probably need to reset compiz | 07:36 |
| muelli | hmpf. Upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 failed, because the laptop went into suspend (although being hooked up to power) in the middle of installing packages. Anyway, now the kernel can't find rootfs and panics. Will a live CD and a do_release_update in the chroot do? | 07:37 |
| usr13 | sudo gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 #and then sudo gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compizconfig-1 | 07:37 |
| user_ | muelli, doesn't hurt to try... or just apt-get update and dist-upgrade in a first time... | 07:38 |
| hlpme | followed by a reboot, usr13? | 07:39 |
| TJ- | muelli: ^^^^ as user_ says. Check the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list, see if it refers to Precise. If it does, then apt-get should sort you out | 07:39 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Yea. YOu might want to also install compizconfig-settings-manager as well. | 07:39 |
| TJ- | muelli: first do an fsck on the root file-system too | 07:40 |
| usr13 | hlpme: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:40 |
| hlpme | got it... should I run it before rebotting? | 07:40 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Sure, (doesn't matter really). | 07:41 |
| user_ | hlpme, you never need to reboot | 07:41 |
| user_ | you can just reboot X if you want, with right alt + printscreen + K | 07:41 |
| hlpme | I come from windows hehehe | 07:41 |
| usr13 | hlpme: As user_ points out, you can just log out and back in again. | 07:41 |
| fuzzylumpkins | anyone know how to get the launcher to the bottom of the screen? | 07:43 |
| user_ | you'll need to wait for ubuntu 14.04 for such complex features | 07:44 |
| user_ | (no idea in truth) | 07:44 |
| fuzzylumpkins | e,e | 07:44 |
| hlpme | I restarted but I still have the same problem | 07:44 |
| fidel | fuzzylumpkins: which launcher are you talking about? | 07:44 |
| hlpme | how do I run the compiz cfg mgr? | 07:44 |
| fuzzylumpkins | okay it kinda looks like mac, there XD. | 07:44 |
| usr13 | hlpme: unity --replace #Will set unity back to defaults | 07:45 |
| hlpme | it is normal for it to say unity-panel-service: no process found | 07:45 |
| usr13 | hlpme: ccsm #Will run the compiz cfg mgr | 07:45 |
| d1rkp1tt | Hi all, I am having an issue connecting to ubuntu with VNC over an SSH tunnel. To start with, I am seeing failed connections in auth.log on port 5901 from my external desktop... so perhaps its either not listening, or some ipv6 protocol issue.. anyone have any ideas? The log is "sshd[3288]: error: connect_to someipaddress port 5901: failed" | 07:46 |
| d1rkp1tt | So traffic is getting through.... | 07:46 |
| hlpme | unity --reset went all hte way for the first time. I guess I should try restarting. what was the command to do that without rebooting? | 07:46 |
| fuzzylumpkins | anyone know? | 07:47 |

| fuzzylumpkins | d1rkp1tt, yeah how do you change that to be down at the bottom | 07:48 |
| hlpme | I did get some glib and gconf warnings though. Gconf-critical: gconf-client_add_dir: assertion 'gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | compizconfig maybe? | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | Havent really looked at it much yet, but maybe its an option in there | 07:48 |
| fuzzylumpkins | d1rkp1tt, naa i fooled with that all day today, its not in there | 07:48 |
| k1l | fuzzylumpkins: IIRC there is no way to get the launcher to the bottom. | 07:48 |
| d1rkp1tt | fuzz | 07:49 |
| shadowww | d1rkp1tt, package compizconfig-settings-manager should be installed | 07:49 |
| fuzzylumpkins | k1l, o.o I see it all the time? | 07:49 |
| d1rkp1tt | fuzzylumpkins, come to think of it... I wouldnt mind knowing as well | 07:49 |
| shadowww | it's not packaged with ubuntu out of the box | 07:49 |
| hlpme | usr13: yes, similar to that I think, but I'll have to take a closer look to be sure | 07:49 |
| k1l | fuzzylumpkins: are you sure its not another desktop with another launcher? | 07:49 |

| usr13 | hlpme: Is your Ubuntu 12.04 system fully updated? | 07:52 |
| hlpme | I did run apt-get update | 07:52 |
| usr13 | hlpme: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:52 |
| hlpme | I'll try upgrade too | 07:53 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Yea, that might fix it. | 07:53 |
| k1l | usr13: ok. so you need a ppa for it. this is not a build in command setting. fuzzylumpkins see the link from usr13 above | 07:53 |
| hlpme | how can I run ccsm; it complains about not having a display. I can't launch from the GUI. or at least I don't know how | 07:54 |
| fuzzylumpkins | k1l, i think I was just there lol | 07:54 |
| hlpme | upgrade didn't do anything. | 07:54 |
| usr13 | hlpme: export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 07:54 |
| fuzzylumpkins | hold on, i may find an example, unless its a different shell or whatever | 07:54 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Don't run it under sudo | 07:54 |
| d1rkp1tt | Unity is not very intuitive aye | 07:55 |
| d1rkp1tt | but of a pain in the backside really | 07:55 |
| k1l | fuzzylumpkins: but IMHO that is not a recommended way since its a ppa and looks like a dirty hack to me | 07:55 |
| argonemyth | hello, there, i just upgraded ubuntu server from 10.04 to 12.04; Python easy_install is complaining that it couldn't find distribute==0.6.26 , help needed!!! | 07:55 |
| usr13 | d1rkp1tt: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 07:55 |
| k1l | !notunity | d1rkp1tt | 07:56 |
| ubottu | d1rkp1tt: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 07:56 |
| fuzzylumpkins | ohhhh I got it, its called avant | 07:56 |
| k1l | fuzzylumpkins: avant window navigator is another launcher and not the unity one. | 07:56 |
| hlpme | usr13: it's at loading icons. am I supposed to switch to GUI with alt-f7 to see something? because I get a blank screen and a mouse cursor when I do that | 07:56 |
| fuzzylumpkins | dats okay LOL | 07:56 |
| usr13 | hlpme: did the updates finish? | 07:57 |
| k1l | !awn | fuzzylumpkins | 07:57 |

| hlpme | yes, it did | 07:58 |
| lenovo | the terminal is not working :( | 07:58 |
| usr13 | hlpme: I don't know. | 07:58 |
| fuzzylumpkins | well shucks I guess it is kinda pointless | 07:59 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Did you reboot? | 07:59 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Before upgrading when I hit "super" + W it showed windows from all workspaces.. But now it shows windows only from current workspace. It's quite hard to work like this. | 07:59 |
| natrixnatrix89 | I tried changing this in "keyboard shortcuts" but that didn't change anything. Does anyone know where can I change it back to "show windows from all workspaces" ? | 07:59 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Also I'd really like to have this for alt+ TAB too.. | 07:59 |
| argonemyth | is it safe to remove the whole /usr/local/lib/python2.6/ directory after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04? | 08:00 |
| iceroot | argonemyth: there is no reason to do that | 08:00 |
| hlpme | I rebooted but I still have a purple Dash and an empty title bar | 08:00 |
| iceroot | argonemyth: and its ALWAYS bad to remove directorys by hand and not dpkg | 08:01 |
| argonemyth | iceroot: i know!! but how can i resolve python package conflicts? remove the egg? | 08:01 |
| usr13 | hlpme: And you can't run the ccsm tool? | 08:01 |
| hlpme | I think unity is installed or loading improperly; there is no workspace manager or whatever it's called | 08:02 |
| argonemyth | iceroot: i have /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.26-py2.6.egg-info, and the ubuntu package system installed distribute-0.6.24 | 08:02 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Ctrl-ALt-t and run ccsm | 08:02 |
| hlpme | I can run ccsm from the terminal but then I can't get back to the GUI to see it because I get a blank screen | 08:02 |
| argonemyth | iceroot: i can no longer run easy_install | 08:02 |
| hlpme | ctrl-alt-t does not do anything; only ctrl-alt-fX does | 08:03 |
| argonemyth | iceroot: i installed shit load of stuff with pip before upgrading | 08:03 |
| argonemyth | iceroot: should have used virtualenv :( | 08:03 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Ctrl-t | 08:03 |
| k1l | hlpme: what dod you do before that problems occurs? and what says the log: .xsession-errors in your home or the dmesg and syslog in the /var/log/ | 08:04 |
| user_ | hlpme, install xfce :p | 08:04 |

| d1rkp1tt | Job is already running lightdm | 08:19 |
| usr13 | d1rkp1tt: What error do you get? | 08:20 |
| k1l | d1rkp1tt: then use restart lightdm | 08:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | as above | 08:20 |
| theixle | auronandace: thanks | 08:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | "Job is already running lightdm" | 08:20 |
| auronandace | theixle: no worries :) | 08:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | I can do startx -- :1 | 08:20 |
| usr13 | d1rkp1tt: and you get error .........? | 08:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | BUT, I can also start vncserver and log into the instance that appears to already be running | 08:21 |
| d1rkp1tt | NO ERRROR | 08:21 |
| k1l | d1rkp1tt: forget about the startx. use the lightdm on ubuntu instead | 08:21 |
| usr13 | d1rkp1tt: just startx ? | 08:21 |
| d1rkp1tt | Just, "Job is already running lightdm" | 08:21 |
| theixle | One more. Will it hurt anything to change the default dirs in my home dir (Desktop, Downloads, etc) to lowercase? | 08:21 |
| d1rkp1tt | if I do startx, I get "Server is already active for display 0: | 08:21 |
| d1rkp1tt | If the server is no longer running remove /tmp/.X0-lock | 08:22 |
| auronandace | theixle: why would you want to do that? | 08:22 |
| d1rkp1tt | and I have tried removing that lock, then I get another error | 08:22 |
| theixle | I am used to staying in all lowercase on the command line for the most part | 08:22 |
| d1rkp1tt | k1l, you keep doing "!someword" | 08:22 |
| theixle | Uppercase is more of an annoyance | 08:22 |
| d1rkp1tt | what does that mean by the way | 08:22 |
| usr13 | k1l: Could it be?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/963633 | 08:22 |

| lenovo | i want to reinstall ubuntu 12.04 and i have the DVD here , only i want to list all the app and software that i had in a text ? | 08:22 |
| theixle | auronandace: So just convenience, but I don't want it to bugger up any scripts | 08:23 |
| auronandace | theixle: its probably best to leave it as is | 08:23 |
| d1rkp1tt | Anyone else have any ideas other than rebuilding the server? | 08:23 |
| fidel | lenovo: dpkg -l | 08:24 |
| fidel | lenovo: dpkg -l > foo.txt | 08:24 |
| d1rkp1tt | actually its a vm and I keep rolling back the image, but it keeps doing it to me | 08:24 |
| k1l | usr13: i thought unity --reset didtn work? | 08:24 |
| d1rkp1tt | Debian here we come! muhahaha | 08:24 |
| lenovo | fidel : let me try | 08:24 |
| fidel | dpkg -l should list all installed packages - and > foo.txt will contain the output of that cmd | 08:24 |
| fidel | is for sure not the best method - but does what you are asking for | 08:24 |
| usr13 | k1l: It says: gconftool-2 -recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 #and then: unity --reset #and if that doesn't work: cd ~; rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .metacity .compiz-1 .config/compiz-1 .config/dconf | 08:25 |
| hlpme | k1l: it didn't work. most of the time it didn't even finish. | 08:25 |
| lenovo | fidel : thank you :) | 08:25 |
| hlpme | usr13: we've tried the first two options. should I try the last one now? | 08:25 |
| k1l | usr13: well, its a chance | 08:25 |
| fidel | lenovo: np | 08:26 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Yes | 08:26 |
| usr13 | cd ~; rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .metacity .compiz-1 .config/compiz-1 .config/dconf | 08:26 |
| hlpme | then what, reboot? | 08:27 |
| usr13 | hlpme: Yes | 08:27 |
| Ascavasaion | Where can I find the menu.lst file because it is not in /boot/grub/ | 08:28 |
| k1l | Ascavasaion: the configuration of grub changed when moving to grub2 | 08:29 |
| usr13 | k1l: It appears that unity --reset doesn't always work and cd ~; rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .metacity .compiz-1 .config/compiz-1 .config/dconf is just a way to do it manually. | 08:29 |
| hlpme | nothing. | 08:29 |
| Ascavasaion | k1l: Oh... so how would I do this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/white+tree+GRUB+splash?content=52421 | 08:29 |
| linuxuz3r | hi hlpme | 08:29 |
| usr13 | k1l: In other words, just remove all of those directories and files from the /home dir | 08:30 |
| hlpme | same purple dash with no apps and title bar. I think some things are not loading. | 08:30 |
| hlpme | there is the unity icon, the trash and one more but I can't click on em | 08:30 |
| k1l | Ascavasaion: that is not working with the new grub2 iirc | 08:30 |
| Ascavasaion | k1l: Oh, okay. | 08:31 |
| lenovo | is there a stable release of ubuntu that i can have - i hope it's cool as 12.04 :) - | 08:34 |

| lenovo | and i want more stable then 12.04 | 08:36 |
| hlpme | 64-bit | 08:36 |
| fidel | lenovo: and what do you mean now with 'is there a stable release ...'? | 08:36 |

| lenovo | yes , may be i did some thing wrong with compiz that make the system crash | 08:41 |
| hlpme | thanks. I'll go to bed now and try again tomorrow. Thank you all for your help. I appreciate you taking the time. | 08:41 |
| fidel | lenovo: i think you dont get it - 12.04 is the current stable - so you can either (not recommended) us some old ubuntu version - or (recommended) try to fix your issues instead of just doing a random reinstall | 08:41 |
| fidel | thats at least my view - without having background informations about your issues in detail | 08:41 |

| d1rkp1tt | rather than cntrl + alt + f7 | 08:47 |
| d1rkp1tt | grrrrrrrrrr | 08:48 |
| k1l | Lady_Neda: when you read the last text on the side you will see that this is adressed to the manufacturers | 08:48 |
| Lady_Neda | k1l, jesus why they show something they do not have yet. thanx k1l | 08:49 |
| usr13 | k1l: Interesting comment: "Quite possible you have some local config files that aren't kosher - one way to tell is create a new user & see it it can get a good login to unity-3d" and "No harm in deleting ~/.config/compiz-1 & ~/.cache/compizconfig" | 08:49 |

| lenovo | fidel : when i restart i see for just glance a error ( i know it's error by the red color ) can you help me to find out what is that error ? | 08:51 |
| lenovo | it says fail with red color | 08:51 |
| lenovo | but i 'm not fast enough to read it | 08:52 |
| lenovo | fidel : are you there ? | 08:53 |
| fidel | lenovo: you might check the output of dmesg | 08:57 |
| fidel | lenovo: or just use a real boot-process without gui-hiding some relevant informations | 08:57 |
| fidel | apart from that - seeing a single error line in the boot-proess doesnt mean by default you have a real problem ;) | 08:57 |
| fidel | lenovo: so ask yourself again - why do you want to reinstall your comp? | 08:58 |
| lenovo | fidel : okay . where can i find dmesg | 08:58 |
| lenovo | or how can i make a real boot process | 08:59 |

| fishcooker | im on 10.04 LTS | 09:02 |
| fidel | lenovo: dmesg is a terminal command - grub controls your boot-paramter and controls like that if you are using a silent boot or whatever else | 09:03 |
| fishcooker | im doing some development based on LUCID | 09:03 |
| fishcooker | How long it will be supported? | 09:03 |
| fidel | lenovo: in general - try to focus on the channel - and not a single user inhere - and i still dont get why you want to reinstall at all... but i give up now anyways ...have other things to do | 09:03 |
| fidel | fishcooker: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule <.. yeah i love googling for you ;) | 09:04 |
| fishcooker | thankyou fidel | 09:05 |

| fishcooker | im doing repo.mirror to lucid | 09:05 |
| fishcooker | AFAIK..it only take 40GB for it | 09:05 |
| fishcooker | why right now it take more space | 09:06 |
| fishcooker | 77GB | 09:06 |
| fishcooker | no source | 09:06 |

| The_Josh | I am using a persistent live ubuntu stick for the first time | 09:20 |
| The_Josh | Well, but the usb stick is of only 4 GB :P | 09:21 |
| The_Josh | and I have ubuntu + 1GB as persistent storage | 09:21 |
| kamphaminezzz | Well i go install ubuntu 12 | 09:21 |
| kamphaminezzz | thanks for your help | 09:21 |
| The_Josh | so I am wondering that can I use my existing HDD for rest application and storage? | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | That is, using stick only for oS | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | OS* | 09:22 |
| user_ | why not install the OS on the HDD? it would be faster | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | The_Josh, you can mount your other drives and access files on them. | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | Yea I know | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | but | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | Say I do apt-get install some package | 09:22 |
| The_Josh | or use package manager to install some package | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | you dont just move installed stuff about. | 09:23 |
| The_Josh | it will go in that 1 GB persistent storage | 09:23 |
| The_Josh | isntead can I use my HDD ? | 09:23 |
| The_Josh | instead* | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | The_Josh, you can mount your other drives and access files on them. ....... not install apps via the package manager to them | 09:23 |
| user_ | well, you could install the whole OS on the HDD... | 09:23 |
| The_Josh | user_: Not possible. | 09:23 |
| user_ | if you want to install part of it there, why not the whole thing | 09:23 |
| The_Josh | user_: Doing a lot of stuff on windows already ;] | 09:23 |
| user_ | so? | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | if you had a larger flash drive, you could to a 'normal' install to a flash drive. | 09:23 |
| user_ | you can have windows and ubuntu living in the same drive | 09:24 |
| user_ | I do it on all my computers | 09:24 |
| Rockhound | anyone knows how to setup network booting in ubunutu?? | 09:24 |
| Dr_willis | a 'live' cd setup - can have issues if you try to install to many apps or other updates to it. | 09:24 |
| Dr_willis | !ltsp | 09:24 |
| ubottu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 09:24 |

| The_Josh | Its a live stick | 09:24 |

| SteveDat | Hello | 09:25 |
| user_ | The_Josh, and I think even wubi (even less intrusive, linux is just a file in windows) would be faster than the USB stick method | 09:25 |
| SteveDat | Is there anyone here? | 09:25 |
| user_ | but i'd use a dual boot, it's the best way in my opinion. | 09:25 |

| Dr_willis | i am out of here... | 09:25 |
| The_Josh | user_: No it will not be | 09:26 |
| The_Josh | user_: If you boot through flash drive, you use all of the computer's resources dedicated only to ubuntu | 09:26 |
| Rockhound | hello anyone know how to setup network boot in ubuntu | 09:26 |
| The_Josh | while if you use wubi, you will be having windows running in background | 09:26 |
| Kvaks | Best software to create picture collages in Ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| user_ | The_Josh, no. | 09:27 |
| The_Josh | user_: hmm? | 09:27 |
| user_ | wubi doesn't have windows in background. | 09:27 |
| The_Josh | It dosn't? | 09:27 |
| user_ | and read/write to usb sticks are usually super bad. | 09:27 |
| user_ | (and you need to read/write a lot of files when running linux) | 09:27 |
| belgianguy | if you're serious about using Ubuntu, ffs, install it | 09:27 |
| belgianguy | running from a USB is nice in exceptional cases | 09:28 |
| belgianguy | or a Wubi for those not well versed in the arts | 09:28 |
| user_ | I still recommend the normal installation, creating a dual boot and partitions for ubuntu, but wubi is a viable alternative if you want an easy setup. | 09:28 |
| muelli | user_: I had the broken upgrade to 12.04 due to suspend while update-manager was installing packages. dpkg --configure -a went through fine, do-release-update says "no new release found" may I assume that I'm fine to reboot then? Or is there anything that do-release-update usually does that I missed now with my manual apt-get dist-upgrade? | 09:28 |
| NewWorld | user_: Lots of writes on a USB will wear it out and kill it. Maybe use a distro specific to USBs? | 09:28 |
| The_Josh | user_: I had a separate dying HDD dedicated to ubuntu, and have been using it for over a year now | 09:29 |
| The_Josh | sadly it died few days ago | 09:29 |
| The_Josh | and I don't really want a duel boot on single HDD | 09:29 |
| The_Josh | thats why I am searching options | 09:29 |
| The_Josh | Currently on live stick | 09:29 |
| user_ | muelli, well, you can try at least, you'll see rather fast if there is a problem | 09:29 |
| belgianguy | GParted? | 09:29 |
| The_Josh | user_: well, then what exactly wubi does? | 09:29 |
| user_ | The_Josh, it uses a big file in the windows file system as a virtual partition | 09:30 |
| The_Josh | user_: and then you duel boot? | 09:30 |
| user_ | so it's slower to read/write, but still much faster than a USB key I think | 09:30 |
| user_ | yes, but using the boot menu of windows | 09:30 |
| luuk | join | 09:30 |
| The_Josh | user_: I see. | 09:30 |
| luuk | u see what | 09:31 |
| luuk | lol\ | 09:31 |
| The_Josh | user_: I had such a set up with another HDD, I installed Ubuntu on another HDD and made grub default to windows. | 09:31 |

| The_Josh | heh | 09:32 |
| adcramer | Hey, can I ask a support question? | 09:32 |
| user_ | The_Josh, wubi uses the windows boot menu, so there really is no risk at all | 09:32 |
| NewWorld | adcramer: of course | 09:32 |
| The_Josh | user_: Then I am going to use it that way | 09:32 |
| adcramer | I upgraded to the latest LTS from the previous LTS | 09:32 |
| The_Josh | :] | 09:32 |
| The_Josh | user_: thanks :] | 09:32 |
| adcramer | now when I try to install anything it errors | 09:32 |
| The_Josh | user_: I am not doing duel boot for same reason, that grub overtakes MBR and if at some moment grub dies then I don't know of any commands or things to get MBR back | 09:33 |
| The_Josh | :P | 09:33 |
| adcramer | Something about samba4 | 09:33 |
| The_Josh | Thats why I am not risking over Duel boot on same HDD | 09:33 |

| The_Josh | So, I suppose, I'll go and boot in windows and run wubi and install ubuntu | 09:36 |
| The_Josh | Preferably 12 | 09:36 |
| The_Josh | Currently have 10 | 09:36 |
| The_Josh | on Flash Drive | 09:36 |
| The_Josh | Can you adjust the partition created using wubi later of if you want to? | 09:36 |
| biopyte | belgiang, cacti? thx, i check that out | 09:37 |
| user_ | The_Josh, btw, you *could* also install ubuntu on its own partition, but not install grub, and depend on a usb stick to boot linux (but just to boot). | 09:37 |

| user_ | I used to have a red hat like this (ok, with a floppy :-) ) some time ago :p | 09:37 |
| The_Josh | "some" | 09:37 |
| The_Josh | I am sure thats "long" time ago | 09:37 |
| The_Josh | :] | 09:38 |
| The_Josh | user_: Well, I asked something different, Can you adjust the partition you created for ubuntu using wubi | 09:38 |
| The_Josh | later on | 09:38 |
| The_Josh | How do you guys live with irssi :3 I love X-Chat :P | 09:38 |
| fidel | !ot > The_Josh | 09:38 |
| ubottu | The_Josh, please see my private message | 09:38 |
| user_ | wubi doesn't need a partition, you just use a standard (big) file within windows | 09:39 |
| The_Josh | Was I talking off-topic ? | 09:39 |
| The_Josh | I don't see any off-topic more than a line >_> | 09:40 |
| The_Josh | fidel: hmm? | 09:40 |
| cousteau | Ok, I think I'll install Ubuntu minimal on a virtual box and do the experiments there | 09:41 |
| The_Josh | user_: So this "big" file is auto adjust or something? | 09:41 |
| fidel | The_Josh: your peprsonal preference of irc-clients is somehow offtopic - as it is not issue/problem related ;) | 09:41 |
| doomsday | what the fuck?? | 09:41 |
| The_Josh | fidel: Just line, common | 09:41 |
| The_Josh | heh | 09:41 |

| fidel | so should i ask how some ppl can live with firefox as i might love some-other-random-browser? | 09:42 |
| fidel | thats chit-chat - not a support question ;) | 09:43 |
| The_Josh | I just stated, nevermind | 09:43 |
| doomsday | ok is it just me or it is gettting crappy here | 09:43 |
| fidel | no offense - just ment as hint | 09:43 |
| The_Josh | ok ok | 09:43 |
| fidel | i am pretty sure it fits the ot channel better ;) | 09:43 |
| The_Josh | I am pretty much aware of offtopic things on freenode | 09:43 |
| doomsday | ok you ppl are just bullshitting here | 09:43 |
| adcramer | Hey, I've upgraded to the latest LTS from the previous LTS, and now I can't install anything without getting a large amount of errors. A lot of them mention samba4. Has anyone else had this issue or know anything about it? | 09:43 |
| The_Josh | I've been living in ##C++ for years | 09:43 |
| user_ | The_Josk : i'm not quite sure in truth, since obviously I don't use wubi... I know that you need to specify a size at the install... | 09:43 |
| doomsday | what the fuck?? | 09:43 |
| user_ | Josh* | 09:43 |
| fidel | adcramer: pastebin the error | 09:43 |

| adcramer | it's long, do you mind? | 09:44 |
| fidel | adcramer: therefor use a pastebin service | 09:44 |

| adcramer | there we go | 09:45 |
| adcramer | thanks | 09:45 |
| doomsday | ok what the fuck is happening here? | 09:45 |
| The_Josh | doomsday: People like you are representing India | 09:45 |
| The_Josh | fidel: I asked, If you create file/parition using wubi for ubuntu | 09:46 |
| fidel | adcramer: seems like it reads your samba config and has issues with it | 09:46 |
| The_Josh | can you adjust it later on/ | 09:46 |
| doomsday | @The_Josh heyyyy dude i will fuck your mother if you talk like that :P | 09:46 |
| The_Josh | ?* | 09:46 |
| fidel | The_Josh: no idea about wubi at all | 09:46 |
| NewWorld | stop feeing the troll plz | 09:46 |

| The_Josh | NewWorld: true | 09:46 |
| fidel | doomsday: calm down or you'll get kicked anyways | 09:46 |
| The_Josh | He should have been >_> | 09:46 |
| doomsday | @fidel i want to get kicked | 09:46 |
| doomsday | :D | 09:46 |
| adcramer | So can I fix the config file? | 09:47 |
| fidel | adcramer: so i dont see a general apt-issue - but a samba one | 09:47 |
| fidel | samba itself comes with a cmd to check the config iirc | 09:47 |
| fidel | but maybe i am misinterpreting here as well | 09:47 |
| The_Josh | emil-: Are you there? | 09:47 |
| user_ | The_Josh, the size of the file can be adjusted later. if you choose 10GB at install, the file size will be 10GB immediatly in windows | 09:47 |
| johnm | doomsday: so you generally just want to act like a douche? If so, consider taking it somewhere else as a matter of courtesy to everyone else please. | 09:47 |
| very | I accidentally removed a keyboard shortcut from gedit. o.O Do you think it's possible to restore the shortcut? | 09:47 |
| The_Josh | user_: Thats fine | 09:47 |
| adcramer | tbh I'm not that knowledgable | 09:47 |
| emil- | The_Josh: yeah | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | very: yes | 09:47 |
| adcramer | I'll have a poke around | 09:47 |
| The_Josh | user_: But after some time, if I want to increase the partition | 09:47 |
| The_Josh | is that possible | 09:48 |
| user_ | yes | 09:48 |
| fidel | adcramer: are you using samba at all? | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | Probably not decrease. | 09:48 |
| doomsday | @john ok i just learnt to swear today so i was just trying to piss you off | 09:48 |
| doomsday | did i succedd? | 09:48 |
| Pricey | Howdy doomsday. Could I distract you in /msg please? :) | 09:48 |
| adcramer | I'd like to, but it's never worked reliably | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | doomsday: You will, just turn off channel | 09:48 |
| fidel | adcramer: if not - remove the package - run apt-get update && upgrade to clean the apt-situation and then try reinstalling samba if you need it at all. That would be my way | 09:48 |
| adcramer | I tried uninstalling it, but it won't because it errors | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | s/turn off/ get out of | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | user_: Okai | 09:49 |
| doomsday | ok how do u learn about the command used in irc?? | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | user_: thanks | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | emil-: Sorry, called you again and user_ solved my problem :P | 09:49 |
| adcramer | I'm trying again anyway | 09:49 |
| fidel | doomsday: consider reading a channels topic before you speak to it | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | user_: So if you are totally sure about that I am going to install ubuntu through wubi | 09:49 |
| fidel | this question is not related with this channel at all | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | :D | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | fidel: it isn't? | 09:49 |
| emil- | The_Josh: No problem :) | 09:49 |
| === flip is now known as Guest78441 | ||
| user_ | The_Josh, well, i'm still recommending using a normal install on its own partition | 09:50 |
| gordonjcp | The_Josh: don't use wubi | 09:50 |
| user_ | but wubi is still better than the USB stick method | 09:50 |
| The_Josh | gordonjcp: why? | 09:50 |
| very | gordonjcp: Oh, that would be great. Well, I used the "External Tools" plugin and set the shortcut "Ctrl+f" for such external tool. Now it's not possible to start "Find..." by this shortcut anymore. Even though I removed the shortcut from the external tool already. | 09:50 |
| belgianguy | wubi is a hack IMO, collating both Windows and Ubuntu | 09:50 |
| user_ | The_Josh, all of your questions should be answered on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide btw | 09:51 |
| Froodle | Can anyone recommend how to change unity2d launcher icons on a per-user basis? Without root privileges. | 09:51 |
| === erry is now known as awesome_muffin | ||
| adcramer | fidel: Yeah, tried apt-get upgrade and it cried again | 09:51 |
| very | "Find..." just doesn't have a shortcut anymore. | 09:51 |
| === awesome_muffin is now known as erry | ||
| The_Josh | user_: Anyways, thanks I am off to wubi with Ubuntu 12 | 09:53 |
| The_Josh | :D | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Froodle: user could use a different icon theme, make their own thrmr, or make custom launchers. | 09:53 |
| doomsday | ok can anybody explain to me what the hell is opensource?? | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | doomsday: may be best to hit wikipedia up for that | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | source is open . for all to see.... | 09:54 |
| fidel | doomsday: have you noticed the tip with the channel topic? ;) | 09:54 |

| dr_willis | thats life. | 09:55 |

| regis_ | This is IRC chat room? | 09:56 |
| NewWorld | regis_: yes | 09:56 |
| MonkeyDust | regis_ you're in!! | 09:56 |
| fidel | regis_: see channel topic | 09:56 |
| regis_ | Channel topic | 09:56 |
| dr_willis | irc = inter net relay chat. ;) so yes. | 09:56 |
| regis_ | oh | 09:56 |
| NewWorld | Froodle: maybe open up a theme and see how it works | 09:56 |
| belgianguy | Froodle: it's more work than you think, I've looked around for such a thing long ago | 09:57 |
| belgianguy | and decided against it in the end | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | Froodle: id check askubuntu.com also. they may have a quick way to do it for a single item | 09:57 |
| Froodle | Okay. Thanks, everyone. | 09:57 |
| SAngeli | what is the command to list all the directories present in the hd ? I have installed tree | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | start with 'tree --help' if using tree. | 09:58 |
| regis_ | I just started learning to use it. | 09:58 |
| NewWorld | SAngeli: pretty sure find can do that | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | most likely theres a -r or -R option for recussive | 09:58 |
| adcramer | the command 'du' in '/' shows all files in all folders | 09:58 |
| adcramer | ie, "cd /" then "du". but that's a big list | 09:58 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, new299, I fail to see anything else outside my home directory. | 09:59 |
| adcramer | try "cd /" | 09:59 |
| SAngeli | adcramer, yes somethig like this but just directories | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: this is your system or somw vm/other peraons system? | 09:59 |
| SAngeli | let me see | 09:59 |
| NewWorld | SAngeli: `man find` it tells you, that you have to specify a directory to search through | 09:59 |
| SAngeli | ok | 10:00 |
| SAngeli | solved. I only had to put the "/" and I am now able to see what I needed. | 10:00 |
| SAngeli | thank you. I was unable to find any soution on the web because did not know what to properly type as question in Google. | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | your home is your default working directory.. ;) | 10:00 |
| SAngeli | Yes | 10:00 |
| belgianguy | cd ~ will also change your dir to your home dir iirc | 10:01 |
| adcramer | glad to help | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | just 'cd' will change back to home... | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | idd | 10:01 |
| SAngeli | ok adcramer | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | dr_willis was faster | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | ~ is a shortcut for /home/yourusername commonly seen in commands and examples | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | dr_willis: how odd, thanks | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | whats odd? | 10:02 |
| belgianguy | that I've been using ~ | 10:03 |
| belgianguy | :( | 10:03 |
| belgianguy | while cd would do | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | cd - goes to the last place you cd'd from... ;) | 10:03 |
| SAngeli | ok i get it. | 10:03 |
| SAngeli | Thank you | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | time for some shell basics classes. ;P | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | 'bash boot camp' ;) | 10:04 |
| adcramer | Hey, so smart people: I have a broken samba (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1188635/), any attempt to change it with apt-get errors citing samba as the issue. One guy said it was samba's config file. I'm about at my wits end trying to fix this, should I just throw everything away and reinstall? | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | linux bashing ;) | 10:04 |
| NewWorld | adcramer: can you not reinstall samba? | 10:05 |
| adcramer | No, apt-get cries in the attempt | 10:05 |
| ikonia | adcramer: that looks like a package from an external repo or a PPA | 10:06 |
| adcramer | can I kill it? | 10:06 |
| belgianguy | adcramer: apt-get purge samba? | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | Why are you using samba4 anyway and is that comming from some 3rd party sourcd? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | adcramer: what repo is that being installed form ? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | from | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | ikonia: i thought the version/name looks weird also. | 10:07 |
| adcramer | No idea, I installed it a long time ago when I had the last LTS | 10:07 |
| adcramer | it's only broken now that I've upgraded | 10:07 |
| adcramer | I'm purging it | 10:07 |
| AminosAmigos | . | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | ppa-purge it ) | 10:07 |
| ikonia | adcramer: do you have any 3rd party or PPA repos | 10:07 |
| ikonia | (or did you) | 10:07 |
| adcramer | I think so | 10:07 |
| ikonia | adcramer: that's probably your issue, you're mean to to disable all your PPA's before upgrading | 10:08 |
| adcramer | purge failed with the same old error | 10:08 |
| ikonia | which does equate to removing all your PPA installed data | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | !ppa-purge | 10:08 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 10:08 |
| adcramer | ahh, well then that would break it | 10:08 |
| adcramer | didn't know | 10:08 |
| ikonia | adcramer: does say so in the upgrade documentation...... | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | i thought the upgrade tool does that by default.. but i rarely upgrade | 10:09 |
| adcramer | Must have missed it or not realised that I had them | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | you do know its samba4 you got and not samba 3 right? i thought samba4 was still 'a work in progress' | 10:10 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: it still is really, although it's intergration with AD is moving light years faster than samba 3 | 10:10 |
| _r00t_ | Hi is there a way to background the networking daemon on boot ? Waiting 60seconds and holding up the boot process is tiresome | 10:10 |
| adcramer | I just wanted to share on the home network and that is what someone told me to do | 10:10 |
| adcramer | frick | 10:11 |
| adcramer | can't even install ppa-purge | 10:11 |
| adcramer | I'm just gonna turf this install | 10:11 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: disable dhcp | 10:11 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: that's all it's waiting for | 10:11 |
| adcramer | prob go back to the old LTS as well, this one doesn't seem to run as fast (on a 4 yr old lappy) | 10:11 |
| adcramer | Thanks everyone for your help | 10:12 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: that's a stupid solution. I need dhcp ..... Hmm how about static eth0 and dhcp on eth0:1 if that is possible ? | 10:12 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: if you need dhcp....then fix your dhcp server | 10:12 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: that's why it's taking 60 seconds, waiting for an address | 10:13 |
| user_ | wasn't it background in the past? | 10:13 |
| user_ | or maybe that was in mandriva... | 10:13 |
| ikonia | user_: pretty hard to balance backgrounding it as so many service depend on networking | 10:13 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: huh ? a DHCP server is not always present | 10:13 |
| === AminosAmigos is now known as Ali_ala_khater_o | ||
| ikonia | _r00t_: are you using network manager ? | 10:13 |
| _r00t_ | user_: yep it used to be | 10:13 |
| bastomat2000xl | Hi leuz | 10:14 |
| === Ali_ala_khater_o is now known as Ali__ | ||
| _r00t_ | ikonia: no ... not that I'm aware of | 10:14 |
| ikonia | or are you setting it in the interfaces file | 10:14 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: where are you setting dhcp/static configs for your network | 10:14 |
| ikonia | (or how are you controlling your network settings I should say) | 10:14 |
| _r00t_ | network/interfaces | 10:15 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: /etc/network/interfaces | 10:15 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: ok, that maybe the issue | 10:15 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: if you use network manager, instead of the networking won't come up until you login | 10:15 |
| ikonia | as it's controlled/triggered by the desktop/user | 10:15 |
| ikonia | that maybe a better compromise | 10:16 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: This is a headless machine | 10:16 |
| ikonia | interfaces forces the network process to run as a system setting rather than a user setting | 10:16 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: sorry, it's a headless machine that moves around and sometimes has dhcp, sometimes doesn't ? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | doesn't sound like a usable setup if you are unwilling to wait for dhcp to tim eout | 10:17 |
| ikonia | time out | 10:17 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: I need networking at the system level.... I tried wicd which is great but limits you to primary interface only | 10:17 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: you could lower the dhcp time out | 10:17 |
| ikonia | not ideal, | 10:17 |
| _r00t_ | yep not ideal at all | 10:18 |

| j`ey_w | hi guys, if I ldd a file, it says it's using mesa/libGL, but I have a Nvidia card, how can I make it use the nvidia drivers? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: why woul you set it to a static IP if it moves around and sometimes needs dhcp | 10:24 |
| ikonia | j`ey_w: what file ? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | j`ey_w: what are you actually trying to do | 10:24 |
| j`ey_w | just a program I'm trying to run | 10:24 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: because Ubuntu is failing me.... what other option do I have ? | 10:25 |
| j`ey_w | it's failing, and I think it may be because of mesa.. rather than using my gfx cardf | 10:25 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: well it's not, it's working exactly as expected | 10:25 |
| ikonia | j`ey_w: you'd need to link it against whatever the nvidia interface is, probably through/via X | 10:25 |
| j`ey_w | hm | 10:25 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: How can having a primary dependency on a DHCP server during the boot process be good design and as 'expected' ? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: because people want to use DHCP.... | 10:26 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: if you don't want to use DHCP, disable it | 10:26 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: you seem surprised that booting with a DHCP configuration when a DHCP server is not present is causing a problem | 10:26 |
| mr_linux | hello room Question: i have 2 linux installations , 11.10 and 10.04 dual boot, how can i run programs/binaries from 10.04 while being in 11.10 and vice versa | 10:26 |

| ikonia | mr_linux: realistic answer is "don't" | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | mr_linux don't mix releases | 10:27 |
| johnm | _r00t_: regardless, you need to look into dhcp relay/ip-helper solutions, the dhcp client is doing the right thing | 10:27 |
| _r00t_ | now johnm knows what I'm up to | 10:27 |
| mr_linux | ikonia thanks for reply, i just want to be able to "run" binaries from other installation | 10:27 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: yes and the answer is "don't" | 10:27 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: if you don't need dhcp then a static IP is great, however your earlier suggestion was that you needed dhcp | 10:28 |
| mr_linux | ikonia thanks but what can happen in worst case? or in normal case? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: break things | 10:28 |
| _r00t_ | johnm: one thing about the dhcpclient init script that annoys me is that it hangs the boot process... At least background it | 10:28 |
| mr_linux | ikonia i am prepared to take this risk, | 10:28 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: you can't background it | 10:28 |
| johnm | _r00t_: I think you're just looking at the solution from the wrong angle - you need to mock a DHCP server when one isn't present and keep your client config using DHCP always - possible if you simply bridge the interfaces on the local box. It's all a bit of a mess regardless though. | 10:28 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: then do it | 10:28 |
| mr_linux | ikonia it does not run | 10:29 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: as I told you it won't | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | mr_linux you tried it, it didnt work, now you know | 10:29 |
| _r00t_ | johnm: Hmmmmmmmm I LIKE IT !!!!! Many thanks | 10:29 |
| johnm | _r00t_: it'll be waiting for dhcp if its configured to use dhcp, and the script provides the networking emit for upstart. upstart won't start anythign else in the chain thats depending on networking, until networking is up. | 10:29 |
| mr_linux | ikonia lol did any1 else tried it before if yes please guide me to some article , or maybe i am the only crazy one | 10:29 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: no-one does this, because it's wrong | 10:29 |
| mr_linux | MonkeyDust thanks for reply man | 10:30 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: and as you've found, doesn't work | 10:30 |
| _r00t_ | johnm: re: upstart ... understood .... I totally forgot about upstart changing INIT over the last few revisions of Ubuntu | 10:30 |
| mr_linux | ikonia i thought with linux nothing is impossible :) | 10:30 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: then you thought wrong. It's an OS the same as any other with rules and limitations | 10:31 |
| _r00t_ | ikonia: Thanks for helping btw ;) Good effort | 10:31 |
| ikonia | _r00t_: apologies, I didn't quite grasp what you where trying to do | 10:31 |
| mr_linux | ikonia can you guide me to some article which suggest why won't it work or how binaries work ? or why can't binaries work standalone , for my better understanding | 10:31 |
| hydrox24 | mr_linux: unless of course you are up for a significant few months of code to implement what code you want (nothing is impossible) | 10:32 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: because they are built and linked against a different distro | 10:32 |
| === vraagmaniak is now known as idefix | ||
| NewWorld | mr_linux: what's stopping you mounting the other partition and point to the libs it needs with ldconfig? | 10:32 |
| hydrox24 | mr_linux: which has libraries in different locations. | 10:32 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: pretty much the bottom line of it | 10:32 |
| Boreeas | mr_linux: Installing them on the new distro is not an option? | 10:32 |
| mr_linux | NewWorld hydrox24 ikonia bundle of thanks , i will google how to use ldconfig to use libs of other installation | 10:33 |
| mr_linux | Boreeas i already have two installations | 10:33 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: you can't do that, | 10:33 |
| ikonia | mr_linux: but if you wish to try, go for it | 10:33 |
| mr_linux | ikonia thanks :) | 10:33 |
| NewWorld | ikonia: why wouldn't it work? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | NewWorld: the locations of what it's looking for will be wrong, not everything is dynamic linked, some versions will not be compatible later down the dependency tree | 10:34 |

| TJ- | zetheroo: that'd do it :p | 11:25 |
| === jonah is now known as Guest75738 | ||
| TJ- | erre: It depends on the device and how the manufacturer wires the backlight controls. Check the "/sys/class/backlight/" directory. If there's a driver for the backlight registered it'll have a sub-directory there. Within that sub-directory will be several 'files' that you can read/write to get/set the brightness | 11:26 |
| Guest75738 | hi i hope someone can help. I'm moving house so o2 have given me a mobile dongle while my broadband moves. However I can't get it working. Network manager detects it and it comes up with all the defaults etc but it won't connect. It should be prepaid or pay as you go, but on selecting all different contract/pay types and trying to connect the authorisation screen just pops back up again. Can anyone please help? | 11:27 |

| n_np | can someone please help me? | 11:30 |
| TJ- | erre: Ahh! Your question changes then... to "Want to use function keys to control backlight" ... so first check you can control the backlight through the System Settings > Power > Brightness widget | 11:30 |
| === w_ is now known as Guest70593 | ||

| n_np | Hello, my nic connects to my network, establishes that its 100 full dublex and rx tx flow control is on, then it just goes down again directly. What must i do to correct this error? | 11:33 |
| TJ- | erre: Some laptops especially have custom keys and a dedicated extra controller for the keys that control backlight, volume, etc. Sometimes that controller isn't hooked up correctly or simply isn't known by the Linux kernel since the manufacturer didn't publish the technical details. So, you may need to search for your laptop's make/model along with "Ubuntu backlight" for web articles that'll help you | 11:33 |
| erre | napster : I just need my fn keys to work when Im trying to adjust the brightness. They work fine for the volume | 11:33 |
| TJ- | erre: At the bottom of the Power widget there's "Tip: Brightness Settings affect how much power is used" and "Brightness Settings" is hyperlinked | 11:34 |
| napster | erre: ok, are you able to adjust the brightness manually? | 11:34 |
| TJ- | napster: That's what we're trying to find out | 11:34 |
| n_np | can somebody please help me? | 11:35 |
| napster | ok, issue echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/<your video device>/brightness | 11:35 |

| napster | TJ-: We have a command for that :) | 11:35 |
| TJ- | napster: I'm aware of that | 11:35 |
| napster | ok | 11:35 |
| n_np | napster can you help me? | 11:36 |
| erre | TJ : inside the Power option, the only things that are there are what to do when laptop is running on battery power or when plugged in | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | what command would that be? | 11:36 |
| TJ- | I'm trying to keep him away from a terminal until it's really necessary... it may be that the intel_backlight controller isn't plumbed in with ACPI | 11:36 |

| cfhowlett | strk: generally, clean install works way more often than upgrading. I know LTS to LTS SHOULD work, but ... | 12:21 |
| strk | BluesKaj: nope | 12:21 |
| strk | i tried, since the clicky-clicky interface prompted me to Upgrade even before doing the packages upgrade | 12:22 |

| Aussie_Matt | hi all, are their any dev's in here? got a quick question | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu-dev|Aussie_Matt | 12:22 |
| MonkeyDust | quick questions are invariably the most complex imaginable | 12:23 |
| TJ- | Aussie_Matt: ask away | 12:23 |
| TJ- | MonkeyDust: Quick to say ... an eternity to answer :) | 12:23 |
| Aussie_Matt | cfhowlett: hello, thanks for your reply. I wont waste your time. I'm sure you've seen those mk802 android stick pc's that can run linux, do you know if there are any plans for the new UG802 ? that would be incredible if so | 12:24 |
| TJ- | The quickiest question of all has no complete answer: "Why?" | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | strk, that 's probly the source of the problem then , but I'm not sure what you can do to rescue your upgrade to 12.04 | 12:24 |
| Aussie_Matt | TJ-: hi, thanks for reply, i just asked cfhowlett, if there are any plans to get linux on the newly release ug802? | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | Aussie_Matt: Sadly, I'm NOT a developer. I was merely suggesting what I THOUGHT was the developer channel but ... ain't. Apologies. I can't answer your query. | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | to 12.04 , strk | 12:25 |
| Boreeas | TJ-: "Because" | 12:25 |
| Aussie_Matt | cfhowlett: ah, i see, lol sorry. thanks any way | 12:25 |

| OerHeks | cousteau, why would you want that? i think it is a depencie | 12:30 |
| cousteau | OerHeks, it's not | 12:30 |
| cousteau | it's a recommend | 12:30 |
| cousteau | it doesn't get installed if you aptitude install -R gnome-session-fallback | 12:31 |
| distress | hello, what do i do when i cant find my wifi card in iwconfig? | 12:31 |
| OerHeks | carefull with aptitude, it is depreciated with ubuntu 64 bit | 12:32 |
| cousteau | distress, lspci maybe | 12:32 |
| k1l | cousteau: aptitude has problems with multiarch, so use apt-get instead | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | distress, run ifconfig , see it=f it'slisted there , or better still look for it with lspci | 12:33 |
| MonkeyDust | distress or try wicd | 12:33 |
| cousteau | distress, maybe you can connect via ethernet and update ubuntu, and maybe that makes it detect the wireless card | 12:33 |
| Fpoon | Quick question(s). I have a 500GB HDD and 12GB RAM (inb4 luls), I want to have W7 Ult installed so I can still play my games, but also have ubuntu installed for general use. What partitions should I make, and what sizes should they each be? | 12:33 |
| OerHeks | cousteau, clear it for me, you want to have gnome-session-fallback but without gnome-session, which does not install with ... ?? | 12:33 |
| cousteau | OerHeks, k1l, but aptitude is the only one that does what I want! :( | 12:33 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 12:34 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 12:34 |

| dr_willis | grub backgroubd can be changed in its configs. see the grub2 wiki pages | 12:35 |
| cousteau | k1l, ok... can apt-get be configured to behave like aptitude? | 12:36 |
| Wishing_Master | OerHeks: let me try that | 12:36 |
| cousteau | i.e. when I remove a package, auto-remove all dependencies | 12:36 |
| subz3r0 | Fpoon:10 gigs root, swap = RAM-Size, boot = 400mb and home lets say 10+ gigs | 12:36 |
| k1l | cousteau: yes. just use the apt-get autoremove after the apt-get remove | 12:36 |
| cousteau | two steps!! | 12:37 |
| Fpoon | Is a 12GB swap actually necessary? :| | 12:37 |
| k1l | cousteau: yes! | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | i have filled up a 10 gb / befor. i use 20 gb for / | 12:37 |
| subz3r0 | Fpoon swap is not needed as well. u decide =) | 12:37 |
| billy__ | is there a channel for 12.04 LTS? | 12:37 |
| k1l | Fpoon: not really if you dont want to use supend2disc | 12:37 |

| alek66 | Hi anybody can help me booting from a HHD iso (PC: no usb boot, no cd, no floppy, win installed and grub installed) | 12:39 |
| cousteau | /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/something: // Do automatic removal of new unused dependencies after the upgrade // (equivalent to apt-get autoremove) //Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "false"; | 12:39 |
| k1l | cousteau: you can be picky about apt-get and fix aptitude or just take apt-get because it works. | 12:39 |
| cousteau | would uncommenting that line and setting it to "true" autoremove automatically? | 12:39 |
| BluesKaj | Fpoon, no 12G is way too much for swap with the memory you have , if you're worried about hibernation , 3G swap is plenty | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | alek66: it's a type of network install .... | 12:40 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: suspend2disk wont work if its not the same size as ram | 12:40 |
| Fpoon | Ok, thanks. | 12:41 |

| alek66 | cfhowlett: thanks the tutorial for that uses linux, I am running win on that pc Thanks anyway | 12:43 |
| cousteau | no wait, the Unattended-Upgrade sounds more like it's for when you upgrade, not when you install | 12:43 |
| alek66 | OerHeks: thanks for the link! | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | k1l, never heard that before , enlighten me . | 12:43 |
| aguitel | is e4rat the right way to make faster boot ? | 12:44 |
| === said is now known as Guest99255 | ||
| mao | hi, how can i tell if a machine equiped with ssd using command | 12:45 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: when you do suspend2disk the ram gets copied into the swap partition. if its not the same size you got a problem. so dont recomment 3GB swap if its 12GB ram and the user wants suspend2disk | 12:45 |
| cousteau | Actually, what I (think I) would really need is that remove = purge and autoremove (purging autoremoved too) | 12:45 |
| cousteau | APT::Get::AutomaticRemove seems to be the one | 12:46 |
| Krishnandu | Helllo, I have accedentally formatted thr swap to NTFS. Will it work if I format it was swap again from Live CD? | 12:47 |
| taraduffy | can anyone tell me how to run siggen from a terminal that I have installed via software centre? | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | k1l, you're assuming the memory is full at all times | 12:47 |
| Fpoon | I seriously doubt that I'll be using all 12GB, it's a bit overkill. | 12:48 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: that is how it works. its not if the ram is fully used or not. | 12:48 |
| cousteau | APT::Get::AutomaticRemove and APT::Get::Purge is what I want, I think | 12:48 |
| k1l | Fpoon: if you want suspend2disc go for a 12GB swap. if you dont you can go without swap at all | 12:49 |
| cousteau | Krishnandu, maybe it doesn't work, since maybe its UUID doesn't match and the computer doesn't mount it as swap automatically | 12:50 |
| cousteau | (but even in that case, it looks easy to solve) | 12:50 |
| Krishnandu | cousteau, Yeah, I guess I can format it to swap with gparted and modify /etc/fstab with the new UUID | 12:51 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest46494 | ||
| cousteau | Krishnandu, or instead of "UUID=..." just use "/dev/sda..." | 12:52 |
| Krishnandu | cousteau, Okies :) | 12:52 |
| Krishnandu | But UUID is a better solution, isn't it? | 12:52 |
| aguitel | is e4rat the right way to make faster boot ? | 12:53 |
| cousteau | but be really really careful... I'm not sure what happens if you assign the wrong partition as swap | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | k1 I qulified my suggestion anyway , and maybe you should advise Fpoon , and not me ...I don't use hibernate on ourn laptop or desktop | 12:53 |
| TJ- | cousteau: Usually, if you've not made a swap label using "mkswap" it should fail to mount | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | Fpoon, did you get that ? ..seems like a ridiculous waste of space to have to use 12G of swap , just because your RAM is 12 | 12:55 |
| cousteau | TJ-, so unless you force mount it, it'll be fine... ok, that's a relief | 12:55 |
| === |newbie| is now known as romeoh | ||
| TJ- | cousteau: I *believe* so but I haven't done that (accidentially) in ages ! | 12:56 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: if you can go without suspend2disk (no suspend or suspend2ram) instead you dont need this 1:1 rule. thats it | 12:56 |
| briggz | looking to disable a faulty shorted usb port but not all, I have usb keyboard. | 12:56 |
| briggz | I type in what I thought should be a command to disable, get invalid arguemnt | 12:57 |
| briggz | echo suspend | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/USB1/power/level | 12:57 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: and i dont get why you blame me for that. im just saying what the problem will be :/ | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | k1l, is hibernate the same as suspend2ram ...well if a mistalke is made then you should make sure the recipient of the advice doesn't make the it | 12:59 |
| fulcilives | Question: Where do I put a *.sed file so that I can call on it from the terminal (regardless of where I am in the file structure) | 12:59 |
| cousteau | what does --purge do exactly, by the way? Not only remove the files in the package but also the generated files (usually in /var)? | 13:00 |
| TJ- | Suspend to RAM is where the processes are frozen and RAM power is maintained as long as battery lasts... to allow almost instant resume | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | anyway it was an honest mistake , not malicious k1l | 13:00 |
| TJ- | cousteau: Removes config files too | 13:00 |
| cousteau | but it still keeps the ones in ~/.config and similar, right? | 13:00 |
| TJ- | cousteau: Package config files, which won't be /home/ | 13:00 |
| k1l | BluesKaj: yes, its hibernation. but since that is not clear to most users i call it the technical term like suspend2disc and suspend2ram | 13:00 |
| cousteau | so it removes system files that were created after installing the package but are not part of the package | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | maybe you should use the terms together to avoid confusion , k1l | 13:01 |
| briggz | anyone have idea on disabiling a usb port? | 13:01 |
| cousteau | I think I should see an example | 13:01 |
| TJ- | cousteau: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 13:02 |
| * cousteau never remembers which suspend is hibernate, so he uses the "to ram" and "to disk" too | 13:02 | |
| BluesKaj | i don't bother with either , | 13:03 |
| fulcilives | Question: Where do I put a *.sed file so that I can call on it from the terminal (regardless of where I am in the file structure) | 13:04 |
| cousteau | fulcilives, ubuntu makes ~/bin/ part of the PATH by default | 13:04 |
| fulcilives | Thanks | 13:04 |
| cousteau | the file must have execution permissions | 13:05 |
| cousteau | and I'm not sure if sed files can be run as commands | 13:05 |
| * cousteau checks | 13:05 | |
| cousteau | seems like adding #!/bin/sed -f as the first line, and giving it execution permissions, allows me to run it with ./test.sed | 13:07 |
| fulcilives | Yeah I got it to work in the local folder | 13:07 |
| fulcilives | Just want it in a place where I don't have to have it in the local folder | 13:07 |
| cousteau | so now you only have to copy it to somewhere in the $PATH | 13:08 |
| fulcilives | Right | 13:08 |
| cousteau | you can try ~/bin/ (create it if it doesn't exist) | 13:08 |
| fulcilives | I'm used to Windows32 folder LOL | 13:08 |
| cousteau | and if it doesn't work, or you want that to be available to all users (system-wide), use /usr/local/bin/ | 13:08 |
| fulcilives | Well ummm I see a "bin" folder if I click on File System in Nautilus | 13:08 |
| fulcilives | Is that where I want to be? | 13:08 |
| cousteau | no, /usr/local/bin/ | 13:09 |
| TJ- | briggz: The "/level" interface was replaced by the "/control" interface in 2.6.35. "/control" can be "on" or "auto" but since 2.6.32 does not accept "suspend". | 13:09 |
| cousteau | /bin/ is for core executables and /usr/bin/ for programs installed from repositories | 13:09 |
| cousteau | stuff installed manually (or that you created yourself) usually goes to /usr/local/bin/ | 13:10 |
| briggz | can the control be off? | 13:10 |
| fulcilives | OK but it won't let me paste it into /usr/local/bin (the paste functino is greyed out) | 13:10 |
| Pici | fulcilives: ~/bin/ is fine if you only intend to use it for your user/ | 13:10 |
| cousteau | fulcilives, because you need admin permissions for that | 13:10 |
| fulcilives | Sorry I am in usr/local/bin | 13:10 |
| cousteau | just create ~/bin/ and put it there | 13:10 |
| * RedWar coughs hard | 13:10 | |
| fulcilives | Oh so make a "bin" folder in my Home folder? | 13:11 |
| cousteau | fulcilives, exactly | 13:11 |
| fulcilives | heh I feel dumb but hey thanks :) | 13:12 |
| cousteau | yw :) | 13:12 |

| briggz | <TJ>: does that allow off as a option? | 13:16 |
| krababbel | cousteau: the recent version fixed the bug apparently | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | rfgpfeiffer, sounds like you should stop it , theen run sudo dpkg --configure -a , then update with apt-get instead | 13:18 |
| cousteau | krababbel, which recent version? 12.10? 12.04? the last aptitude? the last ubuntu update for aptitude? | 13:19 |
| krababbel | it's in the link above, 0.6.8.1 | 13:20 |

| ThinkT510 | ShapeShifter499: more stable? what problems are you having? | 13:23 |

| ThinkT510 | ShapeShifter499: only 3.2 is supported | 13:24 |
| krababbel | Pici: hm I understand it is in quantal only | 13:24 |
| designbybeck_ | because it logs in and normally stays logged in on the desktop and people just leave it logged in when they get up | 13:24 |
| ChogyDan | krababbel: not in quantal either, as far as I can tell | 13:25 |
| Pici | krababbel: er, you may be right, I didn't look closely enough at the Affects part of the bug | 13:25 |
| Pici | designbybeck_: it shows all logins, and fails and records from cron jobs, etc. | 13:25 |
| designbybeck_ | what would you think would be the best way to get the info I'm looking for out of it Pici? | 13:26 |
| designbybeck_ | It would be great to see how many times a program was used each day, but if I could just see a person used it at this time for this long | 13:26 |
| ChogyDan | fyi: http://packages.debian.org/sid/aptitude | 13:26 |

| ShapeShifter499 | ThinkT510: And when I mean use, I mean put considerable load, light use seems ok | 13:28 |

| ChogyDan | cousteau: maybe just remove it after | 14:01 |
| truexfan81 | can someone please tell me what i need to edit to make 12.04 default to run lvl 3? | 14:01 |
| actionParsnip | cousteau: install none of them, then install the ones you want | 14:01 |
| cousteau | maybe I could do the --no-recommends thing, and then install all the recommends (without that option) | 14:01 |
| cousteau | yeah, that | 14:01 |

| hfic | Anyone know is adm group is the same as Admin group? | 14:05 |

| nmap | as a matter of fact, none of the rules i have put in ufw/iptables seem to work | 14:06 |
| cousteau | ok for gnome-session installing gnome-applets... but why would gnome-applets depend on unity?? | 14:06 |
| ChogyDan | nmap: maybe you need to restart your internet for it to take affect? | 14:06 |

| actionParsnip | ThinkT510: it is a proper irc client | 14:12 |
| actionParsnip | bing: https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#IRC | 14:12 |
| bing | is it about port? | 14:12 |
| cousteau | gnome-applets depends on gnome-panel, which recommends gnome-session with all the crazy stuff | 14:12 |
| Twinlator | ChogyDan: is it #thunderbird? | 14:13 |
| ThinkT510 | actionParsnip: its a im client with irc added as an afterthought | 14:13 |
| actionParsnip | ThinkT510: it can still connect to and communicat with the IRC servce in the RFC agreed way | 14:13 |

| actionParsnip | nmap: http://keepmecompanypetsitters.co.uk/cloud-hosting/blocking-unwanted-websites-or-url-using-iptables/ | 14:17 |

| Pici | Anarhist: iirc, its the number of links to that file | 14:18 |
| actionParsnip | nmap: I used: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iptables+block+website | 14:18 |
| TJ- | nmap: The rule you used; did you -A ppend or -I nsert it? | 14:18 |

| Pici | Anarhist: Yeah. I've never had to use that column for anything ever though. | 14:18 |
| nmap | so i have to use I (insert) | 14:19 |

| Harlin | WDKevin, maybe something's telling it to load it | 14:21 |
| WDKevin | Where could I check that out? | 14:22 |
| Harlin | WDKevin, forget which settings they are called (or file that sets default desktop) but this may be worth a look | 14:22 |
| Harlin | let me look around a moment | 14:22 |
| TJ- | WDKevin: I'd ssh in and check the log files for clues | 14:23 |
| Harlin | WDKevin, in the meantime run "sudo dpkg --get-selections" and grep for gnome stuff | 14:23 |
| Harlin | and what TJ says | 14:23 |
| WDKevin | k, one sec | 14:24 |
| WDKevin | TJ-, which log in particular? | 14:24 |
| TJ- | WDKevin: check the apt logs (/var/log/apt/ for the upgrade in case something went wrong) and check "/var/log/auth.log and /var/log/syslog and /home/$USER/.xsession-errors | 14:24 |

| saliak | I just upgraded ubuntu server to 12.04. I'm running on a Dell PowerEdge server and am running into Bug #881164. There's a kernel patch to fix this. Is the right sequence to: - apply the patch, - compile a new kernel, - install the kernel, - reboot? Is there any good guide for doing this corectly? never done it before except way back 15 years ago when you had to recompile the full kernel to do anything (like, have networking support) | 14:49 |

| iceroot | jenia: sudo apt-get install openssh-server if not | 14:58 |
| saliak | usr13: OK, i've done that and can do it, but I dont' understand what that does beyond updating package sources, then upgrading packages that have been isntalled via apt-get. How is that related to patching kernel source? | 14:58 |

| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: What's dd? | 16:00 |
| ranveer5289 | sailboatofdoom: man dd | 16:01 |
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: :) it copies byte for byte from point "a" to point "b" | 16:01 |
| Ascavasaion | How can Ubuntu decide that applications are obsolete when I still use them? | 16:01 |

| dynesh | Coded1: yep..i do | 16:04 |
| Coded1 | dynesh: what happens when you press it? | 16:04 |
| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: Yeah I would but I only have a 2GB USB flash drive. | 16:04 |
| dynesh | Coded1: the LED doesnt glow or respond | 16:04 |
| === Zou is now known as Gurty | ||
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: 8GB drives are pretty cheap now | 16:05 |

| vipin_ | Hi I have a ext4 partition in ubuntu 12.04.I'm trying to mount using /etc/fstab. But after the mount not able to create a folder inside the mounted folder. | 16:06 |
| Coded1 | dynesh; give it a press then check "lspci" then press it again and "lspci" again then compare the 2 | 16:06 |
| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: Would micro SD work? | 16:06 |
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: likely | 16:06 |
| gcmalloc | vipin_, why do you want a mount command to create a directory ? | 16:06 |
| Coded1 | if the machine has a slot for it ;) | 16:06 |
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: the machine you want to install it on that is | 16:07 |
| sailboatofdoom | Yeah | 16:07 |
| Coded1 | not that you would want to install windows ... ;) | 16:07 |
| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: Haha, it's for a friend. | 16:08 |
| vipin_ | gcmalloc, I'm not try to create a directory. after mounting my ext4 partition. I'm try to create a folder inside it.. | 16:08 |
| dynesh | Coded1 : no difference..shall i pastebin it? | 16:08 |
| Coded1 | sure | 16:08 |
| Coded1 | dynesh: sure also try "lsusb" some times it shows up there | 16:08 |
| srj55 | Hi! What is a good, simple way to do snapshot backups of my ubuntu server? I want to take daily or on demand snapshots of my main disk (about 5GB) and be able to completely restore back to the state of any snapshot. | 16:08 |
| Coded1 | dynesh: you mine as well paste dmesg as well | 16:08 |
| vipin_ | gcmalloc, create folder option is not active inside the mounted folder. | 16:09 |
| Dice-Man | hello | 16:09 |
| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: The external hard drive is 250GBs. Would I be able to put it back the way it was after I used it to install Windows? | 16:09 |
| Dice-Man | is ther a way to use the vncviewer cmd in verbose mode ? | 16:09 |
| Coded1 | srj55; rsync? | 16:09 |
| smw | srj55, xfs has support for snapshots | 16:09 |
| smw | srj55, you can also use lvm | 16:09 |
| srj55 | smw: what's the most popular? something simple for newbs | 16:10 |
| gcmalloc | something like [ -e $DIR ] || mkdir $DIR; mount $DIR | 16:10 |
| mediamgl | e? | 16:10 |
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: ya it will be fine after a format, make sure to send it to the root of the device | 16:10 |
| Coded1 | sailboatofdoom: so lets say the drive is at /dev/sdb1 you are going to use "dd if=/pathto/iso of=/dev/sdb" | 16:11 |
| srj55 | smw: I see a whole bunch here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | 16:11 |
| sailboatofdoom | Coded1: Okay that makes sense. Cool. | 16:12 |
| smw | srj55, you are right now looking for something that has no newb answer | 16:12 |

| smw | srj55, lvm snapshots tend to be expensive | 16:14 |
| smw | srj55, I don't think I would do it every day | 16:14 |
| actionParsnip | Coded1: do you have the move plugin enabled in ccsm? | 16:14 |
| hwilde_ | smw, just buy an external harddrive dude | 16:14 |
| Coded1 | actionParsnip: good question | 16:14 |
| hwilde_ | @ srj55 | 16:14 |
| smw | srj55, I would probably do an xfs snapshot and then back that up | 16:14 |
| smw | hwilde_, and this solves what? | 16:14 |
| hwilde_ | just copy your /home directory to an external harddrive | 16:15 |
| smw | hwilde_, he seems to want to do a complete snapshot of his server | 16:15 |
| srj55 | smw: ok, right now i use linode, and they have a great backup manager. i want to switch to a dedicated setup and wondered if I can get a similar tool that allows on demand or nightly snapshots. | 16:15 |
| actionParsnip | or in liveCD use grsync | 16:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !info rsnapshot | 16:15 |

| Coded1 | actionParsnip: it's a start but I still cant resize | 16:16 |
| scubes13 | user changed their shortcut, trying to figure out what it is | 16:16 |
| actionParsnip | Coded1: got resize enabled too? | 16:16 |
| smw | srj55, so then yes, I would use xfs to snapshot and then copy all the files from the snapshot | 16:17 |
| srj55 | ubottu, ok, cool..i'll check that out. | 16:17 |
| ubottu | srj55: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:17 |

| srj55 | smw, alright, xfs, i'll check it out. thanks! | 16:18 |
| scubes13 | ok | 16:18 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: you could run ubuntu-tweak via forwarded X and set stuff | 16:18 |
| smw | srj55, watch out though. If you are running mysql or something, you may want to make sure it syncs disk and locks tables first | 16:18 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: or myunity | 16:18 |
| scubes13 | currently using gnome gui on their desktop | 16:19 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: ubuntu configures X forwarding enabled by default, very handy | 16:19 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: as in fallback? | 16:19 |
| scubes13 | they set it to boot into gnome (they didnt wish to use unity) | 16:20 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: Unity is a shell for Gnome, so they are booting in to Gnome | 16:20 |
| scubes13 | ok | 16:20 |
| srj55 | smw: yeah, or just shut down the service, do the sync, then bring it back up? | 16:20 |
| beforan | does unity run on gnome 2 or 3? out of interest | 16:20 |
| iceroot | beforan: 3 | 16:21 |
| actionParsnip | beforan: Gnome3 | 16:21 |
| hilo | good afternoon all | 16:21 |

| beforan | thanks | 16:21 |
| smw | srj55, sorry I am just realizing that not everyone has the same uptime requirements I do :-P | 16:21 |
| Coded1 | actionParsnip: lol talk about starting from scratch eh, ya everything is enabled. I guess I just can't get the bar back that will allow me to max/minimize? | 16:21 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: you can run: gnome-control-center after you connect with an X forward enabled session and change the setting | 16:21 |
| actionParsnip | Coded1: so you can move and resize now? | 16:21 |
| hwilde_ | !backup > srj55 | 16:21 |

| actionParsnip | Coded1: yes, window decoration is there, is yours ticked? | 16:24 |
| srj55 | smw: hmm, i use postgres on linode, and just do snapshots at 3am during "low" usage...never really considered (nor how to do) sync disk and locking...maybe bad a idea | 16:24 |
| Coded1 | actionParsnip: Winner Winner Chicken dinner! | 16:24 |
| hwilde_ | srj55, you can mirror postgres to another server and do the backups there. | 16:24 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: if you connect in that manner, you can run GUI apps and they will run on the server side but show on the client (much like Citrix does). Its slow over WWW but works | 16:25 |
| actionParsnip | Coded1: yay | 16:25 |
| Coded1 | yup | 16:25 |
| actionParsnip | scubes13: its the same as being on the local system too so you will be manipulating the settings of the user you run the command with | 16:25 |
| hwilde_ | srj55, also PGCluster | 16:25 |
| scubes13 | actionParsnip - and… can this be done from a mac? (i'm running 10.8.1 on this machine) | 16:26 |

| h22turbo | delinquentme: are you running gnome? kde? | 16:46 |
| delinquentme | I think its gnome? whatever the 12.04 defaults are | 16:47 |
| actionParsnip | alci: it'll be fine with the gksudo, it's meant to run with polkit or somesuch, using gksudo bypasses all that nonsense. | 16:47 |

| nixfreak | in SSH_config the port section is uncommented | 16:50 |
| actionParsnip | nixfreak: use nmap to scan the server | 16:50 |
| nixfreak | right now its offline so can't right now | 16:50 |
| h22turbo | delinquentme: hmm, thats weird... 1 sec | 16:50 |
| nixfreak | I can 't install nmap at the moment | 16:51 |
| actionParsnip | nixfreak: then you can't ssh to it either if it's ofline | 16:51 |
| nixfreak | no its on a internal network just not connected via WAN | 16:51 |

| h22turbo | delinquentme: http://rolling-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2012/06/ubuntu-1204-tip-booting-to-text-mode.html | 16:52 |
| nixfreak | do I need to add it to hosts.allow also ? | 16:52 |
| alci | actionParsnip: what bothers me is that it works... according to the bug report, problem comes from gnutls that won't validate and wrongly sorted ca-chain. Can't see how using sudo will fix that ? | 16:53 |
| Coded1 | I'm looking for the Emacs command to take over the world any ideas? | 16:53 |
| Pici | Coded1: /join #emacs | 16:53 |
| nixfreak | ctrl x z (: | 16:53 |
| actionParsnip | alci: gksudo, not sudo ;) | 16:53 |
| Coded1 | nixfreak: should I run that as root? | 16:54 |
| Coded1 | :) | 16:54 |
| actionParsnip | alci: gksudo means the GUI app runs as root, without it it runs as user | 16:54 |
| h22turbo | delinquentme: edit /etc/default/grub, replace quiet splash with text, then do a update-grub | 16:54 |
| nixfreak | I'm just messing with ya | 16:54 |
| actionParsnip | nixfreak: so you can't access from outside the network? | 16:54 |
| Coded1 | ahhh man now how am I going to take over the world | 16:54 |
| nixfreak | so port 80 is open just fine but 22 is still blocked for some reason | 16:55 |
| actionParsnip | nixfreak: then check your port forwarding | 16:55 |
| sokel | nixfreak: Why do you want port 22 open? | 16:55 |
| nixfreak | so I can access a nas server | 16:55 |
| sokel | nixfreak: Change the port if you're going to have it out in the open. | 16:55 |
| nixfreak | yeah I can do that , just wanted to know why it wasn't working thats all | 16:56 |
| sokel | nixfreak: Like actionParsnip said, check your port forwards and firewalls. If it's going through a NAT, you have to take the port forwarding into account. | 16:56 |
| nixfreak | There is no router only switch | 16:56 |
| alci | I don't see how running as root will make gnutls behave diffrently... maybe my problem is not related to the bug report... | 16:57 |
| nixfreak | and no firewall set up yet I haven't locked down the boxes using iptables | 16:57 |
| sokel | nixfreak: Then check your firewall. sudo iptables -nvL | 16:58 |

| delinquentme | however in ANOTHER ubuntu tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso | 17:27 |
| delinquentme | they ARE listed ... as accepted types | 17:28 |
| Pici | thebishop: there is no set time for any of our releases. ISOs need to be tested, etc, so when they're all working to the release manager's satsifaction then the release will be done. | 17:28 |

| jcromartie | I mean it's a VM | 17:32 |
| TheDixieRose | can run live cds, just barely though | 17:32 |
| theadmin | delinquentme: Well, vboxsf is not officially supported by mount, a trick is done by guest additions by placing a binary called "mount.vboxsf" in /usr/bin/ I think. | 17:33 |
| TLoT | jcromartie: then clear out data folders, or upgrade the VM? | 17:33 |
| TLoT | jcromartie: if you ran out of space, you've got too much data on teh VM then | 17:33 |
| jcromartie | TLoT: I can't remove the data :P | 17:33 |
| jcromartie | I mean I can | 17:33 |
| jcromartie | but it's necessary | 17:33 |
| jcromartie | the bulk of it is preallocated MongoDB files | 17:33 |
| TheDixieRose | tlot, well i have some mobility...can go into bios and run live cd ubuntu | 17:33 |

| jrib | jzen: the easiest way would be to use a display manager like lightdm (but this should be default) | 17:34 |

| theadmin | hwilde_: Oh, sound stuttering... Have you tried getting rid of Pulseaudio, if that's possible in your environment? (I seem to have that trouble with Pulse but not with "plain" ALSA) | 18:10 |
| hwilde_ | how do I "get rid of pulseaudio" | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | SnowmanX11, alt+f2 type phonon | 18:11 |
| hwilde_ | I have been asking since monday in here and in #alsa and nobody has replied | 18:11 |
| Haix64 | Hi. Can someone please tell me how does Ubuntu enable that console coloring? | 18:11 |
| hwilde_ | I would really like a way to "test drive" the updates and see if they break my system, or a way to undo | 18:12 |
| theadmin | hwilde_: If you're using GNOME/Unity you don't really have an option, since GNOME is highly dependent on Pulse. However, if you're using KDE/XFCE/LXDE you won't have trouble doing it. Just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | hwilde_, if you get rid of pulseaudio , you may not have any audio on websites | 18:12 |
| hwilde_ | everytime I get it working it works great for months, then some update breaks | 18:12 |
| jrib | Haix64: why not ask in #archlinux how to enable colors in your terminal? I'm pretty sure both ubuntu and arch allow you to use colors by default and nothing special needs to be done | 18:12 |
| hwilde_ | so why can't we test the updates first like when changing screen resolution and it says click here to accept or it will revert in 45 seconds | 18:12 |
| hwilde_ | It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | theadmin, pulseaudio is necessary on kde as much as gnome now , at least in my experience | 18:13 |
| hwilde_ | how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the upated | 18:13 |
| gcmalloc | hwilde_, you can set up a wm to do this | 18:13 |
| theadmin | BluesKaj: Really? That's weird -- I'm on Precise, I just did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio, rebooted and KMix fell to ALSA (calling devices something entirely odd though) | 18:13 |
| Haix64 | jrib: I didn't get a clear answer at #archlinux, and also Arch's default coloring is very little. I wanna make it as extended as Ubuntu :-D thanks anyway though | 18:13 |

| delinquentme | shouldn't it have underscores or something? | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | theadmin, I mean for webaudio , alsa can still handle audio on the HDD | 18:14 |
| sebersole | you do realize ubuntu wikis recommend this right? | 18:14 |
| theadmin | BluesKaj: Not sure what web audio is. Flash works fine, HTML5 stuff works fine... | 18:14 |
| hwilde_ | how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the updates | 18:14 |
| Haix64 | jrib: run "ls" in Ubuntu and for different file types/permissions/... there are different colors. Arch doesn't do the same. Besides, in a console in Ubuntu, nano hightlights source codes, nano in Arch doesn't | 18:14 |
| hwilde_ | It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio | 18:14 |
| theadmin | sebersole: I don't trust wikis (they are user created content... Anyone could have copy-pasted this from, say, Debian's site) | 18:14 |

| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: I thought there was a way to tone it down (but not completely disable) compiz without switching to unity2d, but it might require an extra control panel. | 18:43 |
| alex- | who is in charge of the ubuntu website? | 18:43 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: if you switch to unity2d, no compiz :) | 18:43 |
| fredddiiiii | theadmin I installed WebUp8 repository and apt-get installed the theme but how do I enable it? | 18:44 |
| theadmin | fredddiiiii: Power icon -> Settings -> Appearance (something along those lines) | 18:44 |
| fredddiiiii | The theme is not listed. | 18:44 |
| fredddiiiii | It uses unico. | 18:44 |
| theadmin | fredddiiiii: Probably incompatible with your current software sets, then | 18:44 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: I did everything, not only 2d but also xfce, ldce, cinnamon, flux..all the lightweight desktop environments..no sense | 18:45 |

| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: would it be sth related with bumblebee? | 18:47 |

| kyle__ | sth bumblebee? | 18:47 |
| fredddiiiii | And I just got Ubuntu but I am very confused as to how to enable it. | 18:48 |
| kyle__ | Sith bumblebee? | 18:48 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: dude i know how to choose 2d lol..i thought there were any other ways to increase system performance.. | 18:48 |
| fredddiiiii | I isntalled the repository, installed the theme, but how to enable it? =( | 18:48 |
| fredddiiiii | It is not listed under themes. | 18:48 |

| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: i use top command and got a System Load Indicator.. | 18:49 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: install sar, (I think it's apt-get install atsar in 'buntu), run like normal for a few days. | 18:49 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: Then bone up on your sar reading skills (google will pull up some good articles, manpage isn't the greatest for this one), and read the data with sar -A, etc. | 18:49 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: It will tell you what's chewing up your system: slow drives, too little ram, too many processes, etc. | 18:50 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: The program 'sar' can be found in the following packages:* sysstat & * atsar..which one? | 18:51 |
| hlpme | anybody want to help me fix unity? I've tried reinstalling it by various means. My dash bar is purple and menu bar empty. | 18:51 |
| skunkworks | stupid question... How do I transfer terminal history from one terminal to another (like F! to F2) | 18:52 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: Either or. sysstat is the package it usually comes with in other distros, but atsar is about the same I think. | 18:53 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: installed both. what to do now | 18:54 |

| souterrain | I've put ubuntu on USB flash drive using PDL's UUI tool. Is anyone familiar with how I would change the boot menu? It doesn't seem to have the "persistent" option by default. | 18:54 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: Now check /etc/defaults for a file, something like sar or atsar or sysstat. edit it to make sure sar is set to run. | 18:54 |
| kyle__ | /etc/default rather | 18:54 |
| napster | souterrain: Copy the bash history file, may be? | 18:55 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: Actually, just checked on a 12.04 box, it's run automatically, no file editing necessary :) Now just use the system normally for a day or three. | 18:55 |
| Coded1 | heh never thought I'd be able to run a Win7 guest on a Linux (Ubuntu) host **with** aero! | 18:56 |
| napster | skunkworks: : Copy the bash history file, may be? | 18:56 |
| skunkworks | napster, I will look | 18:57 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: i dont understand what to edit in that file, sysstat is included in /etc/default dir | 18:57 |
| kyle__ | Thunderb0lT: As long as there isn't a line that says, "disabled=true" or something, you're good. It makes it obvious if it's disabled or not. | 18:57 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: ah there is ENABLED=false | 18:58 |

| fredddiiiii | Or does everyone just run the default theme? | 19:00 |
| wilee-nilee | souterrain, I would just use a loader that makes a casper-rw persistent but there are ways to do it here is one link. http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html | 19:00 |
| nannes | HIIII | 19:00 |
| Meznev | I liked the default theme for the pre-unity stuff | 19:00 |

| fredddiiiii | I just want to know how to make Ubuntu look better. | 19:00 |

| fredddiiiii | I do not like this red / brown theme. | 19:01 |
| wilee-nilee | souterrain, cool. ; | 19:01 |
| fredddiiiii | Coded1, can I see your desktop? | 19:01 |
| wilee-nilee | ;0 | 19:01 |
| pcbsdl1 | fredddiiiii: install e17 ? :P | 19:01 |
| _Trullo | my compiz crashes at startup :/ | 19:01 |
| souterrain | wilee-nilee: thanks for the link | 19:01 |
| Thunderb0lT | kyle_: i think i have to add that option myself, sysstat -A | 19:01 |
| wilee-nilee | _Trullo, have you tweaked it? | 19:01 |
| nannes | anyone who managed to install gnome3 on *lucid* without dist-upgrade? I want someone who makes me hope for the best :D lol | 19:02 |
| fredddiiiii | pcbsdl1, e17? I am new to Ubuntu and want to permanently install it on my notebook. | 19:02 |
| fredddiiiii | But I like dark blue styles. | 19:02 |
| nannes | Cause I heard of many problems, and I don't wanna meet them | 19:03 |
| pcbsdl1 | Meznev: Looking for a particular updated all or all of them ? | 19:03 |
| wilee-nilee | souterrain, no problem you can actually have a casper-rw partition and have a gigantic persistent if you had the room. | 19:03 |
| Coded1 | and for bonus points I installed VMWare Workstation 9.0 with Unity for a Win7 Guest to watch netflix | 19:03 |
| Coded1 | :) | 19:03 |
| fredddiiiii | Ugh these join / leave messages. | 19:04 |
| fredddiiiii | Coded1, can I see your desktop? Can you upload a screenshot to http://ompldr.org or so? | 19:04 |
| Meznev | pcbsdl1: Well, quite a few. Stuff like nagios, nginx, and other network monitoring tools and such | 19:04 |
| souterrain | wilee-nilee: now that 8GB flash is so cheap, it's very useful. | 19:04 |
| jrib | nannes: why not use 12.04? :/ | 19:04 |
| Meznev | pcbsdl1: I take it your a BSD person? :D | 19:04 |
| pcbsdl1 | Meznev: shhhhhh!!!!! | 19:04 |
| _Trullo | wilee-nilee, nope not yet, is there a log file? | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | _Trullo, not sure really, how is it crashing? | 19:05 |
| nannes | jrib: Because I fell in love with Lucid, Don't wanna leave it | 19:05 |
| nannes | :( | 19:05 |
| nannes | for a ugly and stupid pangolin | 19:05 |
| nannes | lol | 19:05 |
| _Trullo | I just get a message it crashed.. | 19:05 |
| fredddiiiii | Can anyone help me guiding me on how to theme Ubuntu? :( | 19:05 |
| billc | i would like to install a belkin home base control center on my ubuntu. | 19:05 |
| jrib | nannes: ... ok | 19:05 |
| Meznev | I noticed nagios is still running 3.2.0 in ubuntu unless you jump to Quantal | 19:06 |
| Pecker | fredddiiiii: what are you trying to do | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | nannes, lucid will be end of life soon, love wont matter then. ;) | 19:06 |
| pcbsdl1 | Meznev: You can add in debian repos see if you get newer versions of what you want | 19:06 |
| Meznev | I think debian has the same problem. Or, rather ubuntu has the same problem as debian. :) | 19:06 |
| fredddiiiii | Pecker originally I tried to install this skin according to this guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/zukitwo-zukini-holo-theme-packs-updated.html | 19:06 |
| fredddiiiii | Zukitwo. | 19:06 |
| fredddiiiii | Pecker, I added the repository, I installed the skin, but I have no idea how to enable it. It is not listed in the control panel. | 19:06 |
| fredddiiiii | So I am hoping somebody in here knows how to theme Ubuntu. | 19:06 |
| pcbsdl1 | Meznev: Ubuntu uses Debian-Exp debs if I recall | 19:06 |
| nannes | jrib, wilee-nilee: Jokes apart, I need to install it on Lucid cause I can't update now, because I have many configs and many progs compiled by sources which take long time to reinstall, and i'm not even sure that they'd work on precise | 19:08 |
| pcbsdl1 | Meznev: I am sure if you hunt on google you can find custom repos with updated nagios, regardless if the program doesn't have a bug or a security issue don't see the need to update. | 19:08 |
| nannes | so, anyone who tried gnome3 on Lucid? :( | 19:08 |
| fredddiiiii | Any idea Pecker? | 19:08 |
| Meznev | pcbsdl1: Yea, just some of the changes are stuff I'd like. It's not a huge deal, really. | 19:08 |

| pcbsdl1 | LucasCampos: Be more specific ? | 19:30 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome classic desktop. | 19:30 |
| jarig | on which channel ubuntu dev. talk is ? | 19:30 |
| Ascavasaion | wildc4rd: apt-get went beserk and removed many applications and I have spent a few hours manually reinstalling them. | 19:31 |
| LucasCampos | Is there a program that tells me what is the name of the button I'm pressing | 19:31 |
| LucasCampos | ? | 19:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, you mess with any windows managers, say like adding compiz controls and tweaking it? | 19:31 |
| pcbsdl1 | As fare as I know no but you can create one :P | 19:31 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: I did jump to lubuntu a while back, then went back to Gnome classic, but it was working still. This is since apt-get removed 400 odd applications, broke my python, etc. | 19:32 |
| LucasCampos | Oh, found one. Thanks | 19:32 |
| pcbsdl1 | LucasCampos: Take it these are keyboard buttons ? or buttons to turn up down vol etc.. ? | 19:32 |
| hlpme | is there a way to reinstall 12.04 from the command line to skip the grub stage, which seems to always mess up my system | 19:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, apt-get only did what you told it to do, you have to understand dependencies. | 19:32 |
| pcbsdl1 | hlpme: Download the console install version of Ubuntu | 19:32 |
| MonkeyDust | hlpme start from the beginning, where do things go wrong | 19:33 |
| erictr1ck | so my application wouldn't show up in the "other applications" list when trying to associate a defualt application to open this filetype with. after a bunch of googleing i realized i had to put an %f at the end of my EXEC line in the .desktop file. what the heck is the purpose of this? | 19:33 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as scottas | ||
| Ascavasaion | wildc4rd: It did not want python 2.7 to run something, so I tried to downgrade to python 2.6 and it said the 400 odd applications were no longer needed. | 19:33 |
| pcbsdl1 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 19:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, and you let it right. | 19:33 |
| LucasCampos | pcbsdl1: Not really. On windows they are used to open configuration menu | 19:33 |
| pcbsdl1 | hlpme: Download the text based installer and you can easily skip certain steps | 19:34 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: Yes, it said they were no longer needed :) | 19:34 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe now you know better I assume. | 19:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, you can make a list of every pkg instlled for just such an occasion. | 19:35 |
| wilee-nilee | installed* | 19:35 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: Yes, I know better now... but everything is broken and battling to get it up and running. Have got almost everything back that it removed... and will add small things as I spot them not being there. But this not being able to maximise and minimise from panel is odd. | 19:35 |
| hlpme | thanks, monkeydust. I installed 12.04 on a multibooting EFI GPT system. It worked superficially but kept crashing, so I had the "bright" idea of reinstalling it. First this messed up Unity. Try again messed up the bootloader too. I got past that and now I'm back at the messed up Unity stage. I have no files to lose so I can theoretically reinstall but the visual installer just messes up the bootloader. I don't know why it doesn't leave well | 19:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, so what is the desktop just the stock unity gnome? | 19:36 |
| LucasCampos | pcbsdl1: Strangely, they are showing as Super_L on xev | 19:36 |

| grandal_prime | nannes, nope works in 12.04 as well | 19:37 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: Gnome classic... I am not fond of the unity interface that came with 11.04, so I chose gnome Classic. | 19:37 |
| hlpme | monkeydust: Ideally I'd like to fix Unity without reinstalling the OS yet again. | 19:37 |

| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, YOu might lok at this website in playing around in the left column, there are list of the whole desktops for removal and adding, since you have messed with multiple desktop this may help. I use this when I change desktops to get just one specifically or to remove one in whole. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 19:46 |
| T3X | anybody can help me with how to mount my 3TB external hard drive? | 19:46 |
| Addisonian | Howdy. I installed Uuntu 12.04. I manually added a user to the system. I want that user to show up as a choice in the login screen. What can I do to accomplish that? | 19:46 |
| pcbsdl1 | T3X: Just plug it in and it should show up in Gnome | 19:47 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: I know that site well hehehe The options they give never work for me hehe | 19:47 |
| T3X | pcbsdl1: i am using ubuntu server 12.04 not graphic | 19:47 |
| Andy | Anyone familiar with "Windows Live Mail" Application? | 19:47 |
| hlpme | ascavasaion: I installed and ran gnome-panel. first it complained about the display so I get it to :0.0 then I ran gnome-panel. What am I supposed to see? | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Addisonian, You would be better using user accounts where you can have the user be a admin or not. | 19:47 |
| pcbsdl1 | T3X: Oh in that case need to see what device is it | 19:48 |
| hfic | T3X, man mount | 19:48 |
| Ascavasaion | hlpme: I would imagine that it should give you the top and bottom panels. | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, Hmm, never failed me in probably at least 50 uses. | 19:48 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: I am special HAHAHA! | 19:48 |
| T3X | pcbsdl1: it looks to me like it not detected by ubuntu | 19:49 |
| wilee-nilee | I can tell from here hehe Ascavasaion | 19:49 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 19:49 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: hehehe *slap* | 19:49 |
| Addisonian | wilee-nilee, The use does not show up in user account management. I added him manually because I copied it from the old machine to preserve his password and files. | 19:49 |
| BFH | is btrfs fully supported at this point? | 19:49 |
| pcbsdl1 | T3X: Depending on your HD layout and bios your system might not be able to see those 3TB's | 19:49 |
| BFH | I have a mad small hdd with two ntfs partitions, a fat16 partition and then space for the linux partition. | 19:50 |
| T3X | pcbsdl1: is there any way to check? | 19:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Addisonian, Ah, not an area I'm real familiar with but it would be about permissions overall I suspect. | 19:50 |
| zorbama | Hello, I just tried to configure dual monitor for my computer. Everything worked fine until I wanted to check out xinerama. Since then, no matter what I do, Ubuntu starts up into Unity 2d. Again, it supported unity 3d with BOTH screens, but after switching to xinerama (and back to twinview) I can't log into a unity 3d session. How come? | 19:51 |
| BFH | installer failed with BTRFS but succeeded with ext4 | 19:51 |
| pcbsdl1 | T3X: See what dmesg says when you plug in the HD if nothing shows up then figure out why | 19:51 |
| BFH | it's the primary hdd. and how would i do that? echo dmsg? | 19:52 |
| T3X | pcbsdl1 i have got this : [ 3.464013] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 732566645 4096-byte logical blocks: (3.00 TB/2.72 TiB) | 19:53 |

| Andy | I don't want to have to leave a windows VM open just to check mail. | 19:55 |
| pcbsdl1 | use thunderbird or something else instead of windows live mail | 19:56 |
| Andy | I didn't care for Thunderbird or Evolution. | 19:56 |
| pcbsdl1 | I am sure wine works | 19:56 |
| Andy | it didn't sync right. | 19:56 |
| pcbsdl1 | if I can play sc2 in wine you can run windows live in wine :) | 19:56 |
| IdleOne | Andy: get a gmail account, forward your live mail to gmail. use the web interface. I doubt you will be able to get it working with Wine but you might try asking in ##winehq | 19:56 |
| blz | Andy, maybe you should try to fix the problem with Thunderbird? | 19:56 |

| mega1 | is it possable to turn off the network card on the first day of a month at 12am and restart at last day at 12am | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | Jordan_U no I don't have a backup | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | it was a text editor | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | which has a bug | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | and saved an empty file | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | on top of my code | 20:06 |
| aristidesfl | :( | 20:06 |
| gordonjcp | aristidesfl: revert it? | 20:07 |
| gordonjcp | aristidesfl: you *are* using a VCS, right? | 20:07 |
| aristidesfl | gordonjcp how | 20:07 |
| Dougie | hi i need some help installing linux | 20:07 |
| aristidesfl | gordonjcp I didn't commit the changes | 20:07 |
| wlcosta | Dougie, what's the problem bro? | 20:07 |
| gordonjcp | aristidesfl: well at least you can get it back to where you were before you started hacking | 20:07 |
| aristidesfl | which was the initial state | 20:08 |
| Dougie | whenever try to install it repeats the purple screen with tos white dots | 20:08 |
| hlpme | this is what my desktop looks like: http://i.stack.imgur.com/EdQPh.jpg | 20:08 |
| Dougie | so i cant install it | 20:08 |
| mtree | hello, anyone knows the name of pretty new distro based on ubuntu or debian (not sure), with preinstalled "macos like" dock. It is very lightweight, cute and sexy distro. | 20:08 |
| wlcosta | Dougie, I was having this problem... I don't know if my solution will be the same of yours | 20:08 |
| aristidesfl | gordonjcp which has 0 work done :( | 20:08 |
| Dougie | what was it | 20:08 |
| Jordan_U | aristidesfl: If you think it's open somewhere still it might be easy to recover, or you could check for temporary files from the text editor ("ls -a" in the directory in question), but outside that your options are difficult and time consuming enough that you're probably better off spending that time re-writing the code. | 20:08 |
| wlcosta | but i've solved mine just burning other ISO in a new DVD | 20:09 |
| wlcosta | maybe you can burn an older version and then update it | 20:09 |
| Dougie | well i tried a disc from ubuntu then a iso burned disc | 20:09 |
| wlcosta | mtree, maybe Elementary OS? | 20:09 |
| wlcosta | Dougie, maybe booting via USB | 20:09 |
| aristidesfl | I'm going to kill myself | 20:10 |
| Dougie | cant its a dell dimension 2350 | 20:10 |
| Dougie | an oldie | 20:10 |
| wlcosta | aw man. | 20:10 |
| mtree | wlcosta: YES. Thanks. | 20:10 |
| wlcosta | mtree, no problem! :D | 20:10 |
| Dougie | i did have xp installed to try and use the usb to execute linux but it had to reboot and cant boot from usb | 20:11 |
| wlcosta | Dougie, then you should try downloading an older version of it and then burning it again. | 20:11 |
| wlcosta | With me it worked | 20:11 |
| need | hello folks im here bc im an idiot and idk how to solve my problem with ubuntu | 20:11 |

| Dougie | how do i do that | 20:14 |
| need | when i tried to start my laptop up with the flash drive in and ready to go it gives me a generic " boot error" message | 20:14 |
| wlcosta | Yeah, try what wilee-nilee said, Dougie. | 20:14 |
| Dougie | how? | 20:14 |
| mega1 | can i turn the network card off and on again with a timer | 20:14 |
| hlpme | interesting discussion on Elementary. Does anyone have any experience with it, good or bad? | 20:14 |

| satalha | hey guys, i am having trouble getting wifi working on ubuntu11.10 with my acer aspire v3-571-6884. It uses a broadcom BCM-43228 card. I installed the driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and succesfully got modprobe wl to work, however i still cannot see any wireless networks, nor does wlan0 show up in iwconfig. | 20:34 |
| Dark_light | rahul_gtg: or chroot and do passwd to change the passwod | 20:34 |

| Nisstyre-laptop | Hello, in order to get my Dlink DWA-160 usb wireless adapter working I had to build a kernel module from the manufacturer (Ralink), it's not included in the kernel currently.

| need | ok well i think im pretty much SOL on installing ubuntu to my laptop -_- | 20:44 |

| d1g1ta1 | wilee-nilee: I am trying to do this for ubuntu. | 20:52 |

| d1g1ta1 | wilee-nilee: how? | 20:54 |
| TJ- | d1g1ta1: As long as you ensure the swap partition is not in use, you can delete sda3 to reclaim it's space, redo sda2 larger, then create a new sda3 at a new position for swap. After that, remember to do "mkswap /dev/sda3" to prime it | 20:54 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | FluxD: it might not be the correct version, or your might have a newer revision of the hardware | 20:54 |
| FluxD | Nisstyre-laptop, this laptop is 6 years old | 20:54 |

| jagginess | faz, likely, but the main thing that wouldnt' work right away sometimes is the boot loader, you'll just need to grub-install again | 21:51 |
| faz | hm, why wouldnt the boot loader work? i would have expected that to be possibly the one thing that would still work :) | 21:52 |

| tcstar | jrib yeah, i ran apt-get remove lamp-server^ i purged and autoremoved... and i think in my rage of not getting intl to install i deleted the apache folder from the CLI | 21:57 |
| eric_ | OK. How do I get there from here? | 21:57 |
| semitones | TJ-: hmm, yes, that's true. I think it might not have worked because I created a .bash_profile at one point to try to accomplish the same thing. It's deleted now. | 21:58 |

| eric_ | I tried it from a 10.04LTS cd as well, same issue. | 21:58 |

| ubottu | eric_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:58 |
| TJ- | semitones: yeah possibly, or forgot to log-out :p | 21:58 |
| jrib | eric_: you also can't upgrade directly to 10.04. You would have to do 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 12.04. Or backup your data and do a fresh install of 12.04 | 21:58 |
| pic | Monkeydust: Oh well looks like if I'm going to have to go back to recompiling and extra repository I may as well go back to debian. Figure unbuntu would be a decent brain dead workstation. | 21:59 |
| eric_ | OK. I'll see if I can find images for 9.10 then. | 21:59 |
| jrib | eric_: why aren't you just using the update-manager? | 21:59 |
| eric_ | I can go 9.04->9.10 then 9.10->10.04 and then 10.04->12.04 | 22:00 |
| pcbsdl1 | eric_: you do realize you can do this in cli ? | 22:00 |
| jrib | eric_: yes | 22:00 |

| jrib | eric_: "same issue"? What issue? Did you read the wiki? | 22:00 |
| eric_ | Yeah, I'm reading those pages. Looks like I'm trying to skip too many versions. | 22:01 |
| MonkeyDust | pic 'mediatomb' seems to be the keyword when it comes to ubuntu/upnp | 22:01 |
| pic | monketdust: that is the server not the client, I have that running | 22:02 |

| jrib | eric_: have you read the wiki? There are special steps you must follow since you are using an unsupported release | 22:02 |

| bolosaur | HOWEVER | 22:11 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Darn... sorry about that! | 22:11 |
| bolosaur | it still hasn't fixed my wifi. | 22:11 |
| bolosaur | Like, when I plug my wifi dongle into my ubuntu computer, i do GET wifi on the syste, | 22:11 |
| jagginess | bolosaur, apt-get update, maybe you need "sudo', you have to see at least some index gettiog updated | 22:11 |
| bolosaur | system* | 22:11 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Tell us what the device is (either "lsusb" or "lspci -nn" ) | 22:11 |
| need | when i go into my bios and select the usb as the boot option it calls it "floppy: **** ** <-- stuff i cant recall" and then gives " boot error" as the loading msg so i will try ur pendrive then return | 22:11 |
| bolosaur | jagginess: I did use sudo. Everything's fine, dandy and updated now | 22:11 |
| bolosaur | Anyway, let me elaborate. My USB dongle works on the OS side, but it won't actually show up on other computers. | 22:12 |
| jagginess | need, you need to make a fat32 partition on the usb for the ubuntu installer | 22:12 |
| bolosaur | It thinks it's sharing the connection | 22:12 |
| jagginess | need, (not ntfs) | 22:12 |
| bolosaur | but no other comp can see it | 22:12 |
| bolosaur | so what's your suggested course of action? | 22:12 |
| bolosaur | isusb? | 22:12 |
| krababbel | need: floppy is probably wrong, change the bios settings if possible, or it won't boot from usb like that I'd guess. | 22:13 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: hang on! that means it is working... you're confusing us :) | 22:13 |
| bolosaur | lsusb* | 22:13 |
| need | jagginess im new to literraly all of this ( even irc >.>) so idk how to make a fat32 section | 22:13 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Does that PC have a network/internet connection via the WiFi ? | 22:13 |
| jagginess | bolosaur, maybe your usb dongle is usb3, which is why it may not show up on older computer hardware. | 22:13 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: No, it gets internet via USB+iPhone. | 22:13 |
| jagginess | need, usually they are already formatted fat32 | 22:13 |
| bolosaur | jagginess: Maybe! | 22:13 |
| jetrost | where does aptitude install files? like if i install package "murmur", where would i then find the "murmur.x86" and "murmur.ini" files? | 22:14 |
| jagginess | need, windows uses 3 types of filesystems, fat32, ntfs, and (exfat) | 22:14 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: And by "show up on other computers" do you mean, those other PCs can't find the laptop with the WiFi dongle using, say, Samba network sharing? | 22:14 |
| jagginess | need, fat32 is common for linux installers that are on usb | 22:14 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: No I mean that my ubuntu computer's shared wifi connection doesn't show up as a wifi network on other computers | 22:14 |
| TJ- | jetrost: To discover all the files a package installs do "dpkg-query -L <package-name>" | 22:14 |
| bolosaur | also jagginess according to this website i'm looking at, my usb network dongle is usb 2.0 | 22:14 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: So, you're configured it as a WAP using hostapd? | 22:15 |
| jagginess | need, you can check with diskmanager (rt-click Computer, maybe the 'Manage' link) | 22:15 |
| bolosaur | hostapd? | 22:15 |
| bolosaur | I don't know what that is. | 22:15 |
| bolosaur | I plugged my dongle into the comp, and used the network manager to create an ad hoc network. | 22:15 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Ahhh thank-you! now we understand | 22:15 |
| jagginess | need, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000 | 22:15 |
| bolosaur | Heh | 22:15 |
| need | jagg ty but i think its solved now >.> when i went into bios ( after reading of a similar problem a person had) and changed the "usb setting" from "auto" to " harddrive" it loaded properly | 22:15 |
| jagginess | need, good | 22:16 |
| need | gonna try toinstall it now and hope for the best | 22:16 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Have you examined the logs files for clues as to why it's not happening? both on the Ubuntu PC and on the others? | 22:16 |
| jagginess | (i wouldn't want to elaborate more on how to use this m$ tool :)) | 22:16 |

| bolosaur | :/ | 22:17 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: "lsusb" simply lists the device names and unique IDs... but as NetworkManager has let you create an ad-hoc network on it, the drivers etc. are all found and happy | 22:17 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Log files are in /var/log/ ... from the dashboard do "Log file viewer" | 22:17 |

| DaDaDOSPrompt | open them in what, delinquentme? | 22:18 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | which program in bash are you using to do that? | 22:18 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Have you tested the wifi as a regular client - connected it to a wireless access point? | 22:18 |
| jrib | delinquentme: append & to the command (you should google "bash job control") | 22:19 |
| delinquentme | DaDaDOSPrompt, gedit | 22:19 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: Yes, and it works it seems. | 22:19 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | in bash? | 22:19 |
| === olmo_ is now known as olmo | ||
| bolosaur | It finds other networks, and I connected to another ad-hoc network after which it asked me to authenticate | 22:19 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | so you're opening files by typing, in bash, `gedit <filename>` ? | 22:19 |
| bolosaur | so I'm guessing that it works | 22:19 |
| TJ- | delinquentme: I think what you want is to put the process into the background so control of the terminal returns to you. To do that in a shell, postfix the "&" character to your commands | 22:19 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: I'm checking the log, and it's constaly going | 22:19 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: OK .. so it's an ad-hoc issue not a general WiFi connectivity issue | 22:19 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: They do that :p | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | blah blah wlan1 blah blah blabh - trying to scan for other IBSS networks with same SSID (merge) | 22:20 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | delinquentme, I suspect TJ's advice is what you want | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | constantly* | 22:20 |
| delinquentme | So the thing is on my other bash console .. I can just infnitely open up windows .. without changing any part of the command | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | so it seems that it's working | 22:20 |
| jetrost | TJ-: thanks. | 22:20 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: You can disable the auto-scroll from the menu | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | Hmmm TJ, do you think that Ubuntu is for some reason hiding the network? | 22:20 |
| jrib | delinquentme: what is your question? | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | instead of showing it publicly | 22:20 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Well if it's scanning thats good. Are all the PCs using the same SSID for the ad-hoc? same encryption scheme? | 22:20 |
| bolosaur | I don't know what that is. | 22:21 |
| bolosaur | So I don't know what to answer. :( | 22:21 |
| bolosaur | Or rather I don't understand what you're asking. | 22:21 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: You can choose to hide the SSID on a network... but I think there's an explicit setting for that | 22:21 |
| bolosaur | You know, now that I mention this, I do recall seeing an error message upon booting Ubuntu | 22:21 |

| delinquentme | jrib, how to use bash just to open files in gedit .. and have the state of that file ( open or closed ) be disconnected from bash after initiation of the command .. say " $ gedit ~/test_file.html " | 22:21 |
| bolosaur | it only happens when i boot | 22:21 |
| bolosaur | ill try to reboot and see what it says | 22:22 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: hang on! | 22:22 |
| jrib | delinquentme: I and someone else already told you how to do that. Append & to your command | 22:22 |
| delinquentme | and then WHILE that file is open in Gedit ... i can go back to a single bash window ... and open say another file | 22:22 |
| bolosaur | ok | 22:22 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: For boot time kernel messages, check the /var/log/dmesg | 22:22 |
| delinquentme | jrib, but im saying theres something that I've done which doesnt require that appending of & | 22:22 |
| bolosaur | how? | 22:22 |
| bolosaur | can i use log file viewer? | 22:23 |
| delinquentme | you're saying " $ gedit ~/test_file.html & gedit ~/other_file.html" | 22:23 |
| jrib | delinquentme: you probably start gedit in one bash instance. Then when you run "gedit FILE" in another bash instance it just tells the existing gedit to open a file (i.e. another instance of gedit is not started) | 22:23 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: also... if you disable auto-scrolling you can scroll back in /var/log/syslog where you should find where the PC booted last, then work forwards in time to see if that boot warning messages is captured in the log | 22:23 |
| need | ok ubuntu is up and running fine gonna install it to my HDD then melt down that flash drive bc it gave me so much trouble >.> ( not really) | 22:23 |

| jagginess | need, gparted live cd, is commonly used to resize partitions, if you wish to resize linux later, i'd suggest to sticking to a very simple partition scheme for now: 1 ext4 (for /) and 1 for swap | 22:27 |

| plzhlp | Hello all | 22:51 |
| Costeelation | hi | 22:51 |
| plzhlp | Was wondering if some one can offer me some help with iptables | 22:51 |
| plzhlp | or can point me in the right direction | 22:52 |
| plzhlp | My question is simple, thus it will have complex answer heh... | 22:52 |
| tsimpson | !firewall | plzhlp | 22:52 |
| ubottu | plzhlp: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 22:52 |
| pantheon | here is different stripes appears over screen and mouse pointer does not mapping properly | 22:53 |
| plzhlp | So anyone willing to help before I type my heart out? | 22:54 |
| tonsofpcs | nope | 22:55 |
| nydel | plzhlp: willing to try i am | 22:55 |
| tonsofpcs | we might be willing to help afterwads. | 22:55 |
| plzhlp | Thanks! | 22:55 |
| tonsofpcs | *afterwards | 22:55 |
| nydel | tonsofpcs: teehee :) | 22:55 |
| plzhlp | firstly I wonder is iptables the same in ubuntu as it as in all other distros and firmwares... such as ddwrt | 22:55 |
| tonsofpcs | iptables is iptables is iptables* | 22:56 |
| tonsofpcs | *barring changes between revisions | 22:56 |
| plzhlp | Ok great I shall tell you my tale then | 22:56 |
| plzhlp | here goes | 22:56 |
| plzhlp | I have a standard local network / router is 191.168.1.1 | 22:57 |
| plzhlp | This network supports DHCP and wireless users that do not need restriction in any way shape or form. | 22:57 |
| tonsofpcs | your router's internal (private) interface is 191.168.1.1? | 22:57 |
| plzhlp | I have 3 wired machines on this very same network that should be allowed access only to 1 certain URl (my own website) | 22:57 |
| plzhlp | I have a static range and DHCP range. This firewall rule should only be enforced for the NON DHCP range. | 22:57 |
| nydel | plzhlp: ... | 22:58 |
| plzhlp | I basicly need to whitelist 1 address for 3 machines / block everything else and allow all for my DHCP range | 22:58 |
| Praxi | hmm I installed Plone on 12.04 server using this sudo ./install.sh --target=Plone --password=Password standalone that installed it to currentpath\Plone . Can I just run that line again with the correct path to install it somewhere else, or do I need to uninstall my previous version? | 22:59 |
| nydel | plzhlp: is your website local? | 22:59 |
| tonsofpcs | plzhlp: and this is hard for you? | 22:59 |
| plzhlp | no its on the net its not google uses only 1 returnable address | 22:59 |
| plzhlp | here is my script | 22:59 |
| dr_willis | Praxi: id have to say check the plone docs. when in doubt. i would uninstall it first. | 22:59 |
| plzhlp | iptables -N wanout | 22:59 |
| tonsofpcs | uh. | 23:00 |
| tonsofpcs | use a pastebin. | 23:00 |
| plzhlp | ohh yeh | 23:00 |
| plzhlp | pastebin | 23:00 |
| plzhlp | :) | 23:00 |
| nydel | plzhlp: is your website local? | 23:00 |
| tonsofpcs | !paste | plzhlp | 23:00 |

| Praxi | dr_willis, how do you uninstall in ubuntu/linux? | 23:00 |
| very | somehow i think it's impossible to restore gedit's keyboard shortcuts without reinstalling ubuntu. i already reinstalled gedit. | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | Praxi: since you did NOT use the package manager system/deb files.. NO idea.. check the docs for that program. | 23:01 |
| nydel | Praxi: at command line, do this: "sudo apt-get remove $applicationname" | 23:01 |
| jrib | very: that would be pretty impressive | 23:01 |
| plzhlp | http://pastebin.com/SMmXi3Ky | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | Praxi: its possible it came with some uninstall script | 23:01 |
| Praxi | I know ./ runs things, is there a reverse? oh right, I would need a uninstall.sh or similar woulnd't I | 23:01 |
| jrib | very: you just need to figure out where in your home directory they are stored | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | Praxi: it totally depejns on who wrote the .sh we DONT know. | 23:02 |
| Praxi | roger | 23:02 |
| Praxi | ty | 23:02 |
| dr_willis | !find plone | 23:02 |
| ubottu | File plone found in docvert, openvas-plugins-dfsg, python-twisted-web, varnish, zope-atextensions, zope-ploneformgen | 23:02 |
| === hlpme is now known as adoniscik | ||
| dr_willis | the use of stand alone installers is - rather.. frowned upon in the linux world. | 23:02 |
| very | or maybe it's just the configuration of a plugin of gedit. i'm not sure where to look for it. | 23:03 |
| nydel | dr_willis: what are y'all trying to do? install/uninstall what sort of thing? | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | nydel: somthing he installed with some install.sh script | 23:03 |
| wubino | my computer stopped reading the hardrive, it spins the disk but that is it... any ideas? | 23:03 |

| dr_willis | raxi | hmm I installed Plone on 12.04 server using this sudo ./install.sh --target=Plone --password=Password | 23:04 |
| dr_willis | standalone that installed it to currentpath\Plone | 23:04 |
| wubino | The disk is readable via usb mod and in good condition, the computer will boot from usb just fin | 23:04 |
| dr_willis | its likely you can just delete that Plone directory | 23:04 |
| YokoBR | hey guys, i have two video cards on my notebook, that is this one https://sites.google.com/site/debiandesktop/hardware-tips/drivers-hp-g42-371br | 23:04 |

| YokoBR | how can i enable HD 6370 and disable HD 4250? | 23:04 |
| Praxi | Plone | 23:05 |
| very | i searched for gedit config in .config and .gconf | 23:05 |
| Praxi | ya will try that first dr_willis, I'm not very far so would be super easy to rebuild the VM | 23:05 |

| dr_willis | bottom line would be to chek the plone docs/site/support | 23:06 |
| Praxi | dr_willis, ahh when in doubt, plone readme has answer hehe. 1. Stop Plone 2. Remove folder | 23:06 |
| Praxi | ok then! | 23:06 |
| matteo_ | ciao | 23:06 |
| dr_willis | Yes kids.. it pays to read the docs. ;P | 23:06 |
| dr_willis | makes me wonder why it has an installer.sh | 23:07 |
| matteo_ | how old are you? | 23:07 |
| dr_willis | old enough to be a grandfather. ;) | 23:07 |
| jrib | dr_willis is older than time itself I suspect | 23:07 |
| dr_willis | so Get off my lawn! ;P | 23:07 |
| matteo_ | wow | 23:07 |
| YokoBR | please guys, as this site says. https://sites.google.com/site/debiandesktop/hardware-tips/drivers-hp-g42-371br , i can't get my discrete driver reconized | 23:07 |
| Praxi | lol | 23:07 |
| very | i'm 28. i could be a grandfather myself. | 23:07 |
| matteo_ | i'm new in chat and in linux | 23:08 |
| nydel | Praxi: couldn't you just skim install.sh & undo it? i mean, what could it possibly do other than add something to /var/www/ & make a few changes to apache.conf & maybe something else in like /opt/plone | 23:08 |
| nydel | or are you trying to be super clean about it | 23:08 |
| nydel | wait plone's just some cms nonsense isn't it | 23:09 |
| Praxi | ya | 23:09 |
| Praxi | in the case I'm using it for, its a frontend? I guess for BIKA | 23:09 |
| bhavik | Hi, I cannot seem to install qemu, I install it via apt-get, but then I am unable to actually run it, any suggestions? | 23:09 |
| plzhlp | Any luck with that pastebin link | 23:11 |
| very | ooohh.. i think i found the shortcut configuration file for gedit. :) thank you, yes it is in the home folder ~/.gnome2/accels | 23:11 |
| very | But I cannot make modifications to it. | 23:13 |
| nydel | Praxi: this is kinda left-field but could you do install.sh again using a stupid chroot, just to get a tree of what it does? | 23:13 |
| very | Well, I can. But as soon as I open gedit again it gets restored. | 23:13 |
| pic | soory to keep bugging people about upnp but totem gives me "Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder" I have the restricted libs installed..any ideas? | 23:13 |
| nydel | or better yet just search for recently-modified files if you just did this recently. | 23:13 |
| Praxi | dunno Nydel, it was easy enough to just delete its directory hehe | 23:13 |
| Praxi | see if it lets me reinstall | 23:14 |
| nydel | Praxi: i'd be interested in writing a universal uninstall.sh that takes an install.sh as input. | 23:14 |
| YokoBR | omfg, can't enable my second video card on my notebook :( i have both ati hd 4250 and hd 6300 :/ | 23:14 |

| jrib | tcstar: after you purge apache2.2-common, you should install apache2 again | 23:26 |

| tcstar | okay -- i purged the apache2.2-common -- now i redo the apt-get install lamp-server^ ? | 23:28 |
| bhavik | exit | 23:28 |
| jrib | tcstar: you probably just need to install apache2, but you can do lamp-server if you want | 23:28 |
| C-S-B | sokel, I intepret that as 10.100.1.2 as a source address and 10.100.1.21 as a destination. | 23:29 |

| Guest93834 | i have a very annoying error, after a while on my computer when i try to get to the dash, the unity panel just flickers and I cannot open my dash :( | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest93834, does the superkey open it? | 23:49 |
| BobertD | Still not working http://paste.ubuntu.com/1189898/ | 23:49 |

| Jordan_U | Guest93834: "loffice" | 23:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest93834, YOu might try reseting unity with unity --reset with a alt-f2 prompt, not the terminal. | 23:50 |
| wilee-nilee | or a ctrl-alt-f1 tty the get back in with ctrl-alt-f7 | 23:51 |
