| TJ- | bolosaur: I'd guess by default all your other devices are using 2.4Ghz (802.11b/g) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| datruth | if I remove modem-manager will I be able to connect to the internet? | 00:00 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: I'm on apple devices | 00:00 |
| bolosaur | macbook, iphone, ipad etc | 00:00 |
| bolosaur | so thats 2,4 then? | 00:00 |

| chip_ | Hello. Is there a way to force desktop to start in a terminal? I've got a video problem, and just see lines. Even if I do CTRL-ALT-F2 or whatever. Not sure how to fix it without being able to see. | 00:00 |
| === chuck_ is now known as TheHumanScience | ||

| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: Press Enter to continue. | 00:01 |
| jagginess | chip_, add " 1" temporarily with the grub boot item | 00:01 |
| TheHumanScience | So how do you fix the brightness applet from the terminal. 10.04? | 00:01 |
| jagginess | chip_, (end of kernel bootline) | 00:01 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: Not working | 00:01 |

| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: Press tab until the Ok button is highlighted. | 00:03 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: ok, that worked | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: While this may look somewhat like a GUI, it's meant for terminals and doesn't accept mouse input. | 00:04 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | http://pastebin.com/2NCuT4qJ | 00:04 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | ok | 00:04 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: My MacBook says that it has the following model: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n) | 00:05 |
| bolosaur | isnt that kind of... vague? :P | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: Navigate to /dev/sda with the arrow keys and press space bar to select it, then hit Enter to continue. | 00:05 |
| TheHumanScience | So how do you fix the brightness applet from the terminal. 10.04? | 00:05 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: I thought that we were trying to install it in sda5? | 00:05 |
| === live is now known as Guest67753 | ||
| jagginess | TheHumanScience, 10.04 is pretty old | 00:06 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: No, it's telling you what it can do (802.11a (5.8GHz), 802.11b/g (2.4GHz) and 802.11n (MIMO/wider 40MHz channels) | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: This question is asking about where grub's boot sector should go, not where the /boot/grub/ directory lives. Grub's boot sector should always go in the MBR (not in any partition). | 00:06 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: ok | 00:06 |
| TheHumanScience | yea but all the new ones suck | 00:07 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: OK, so that means I should set 2,4 GHz then? | 00:07 |
| jagginess | TheHumanScience, i think the older ones suck, that's why people upgrade :) | 00:07 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: Finished http://pastebin.com/V55fHTnt | 00:07 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Now *that* has reminded me of something!!! When I installed hostapd on the server here for the Wifi network, it wouldn't connect or be found... I eventually tracked it down to the fact that because the hardware supported wide (40MHz) channels hostapd told it to use them - which meant all the regular 802.11g equipment couldn't 'see' the WAP. I had to change a setting in hostapd config to control that. It could be there's something similar for your situation | 00:08 |
| TJ- | too | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: Geat. Now try rebooting. | 00:08 |
| TheHumanScience | thats also why there are different flavors for different people. im not here for a debate on distros. i just need help with the one i have. | 00:08 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: Rofl, I'm sorry but I don't understand a word of that. :( | 00:08 |
| bolosaur | I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to hardware. | 00:08 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: regular 802.11b/g used 20MHz wide channels | 00:08 |
| unless | When I lock my screen it seems instead of it get turn off it just reduces the bright to a minimum amount. Is it normal or it is happening because it is missing a video driver or something? | 00:08 |
| bolosaur | I try, but I've only got surface knowledge of everything. | 00:08 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: apparantly there's still a process running | 00:08 |
| bolosaur | Hm ok. | 00:08 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: The prompt is usabe though | 00:09 |
| bolosaur | So what you're saying is that Ubuntu is misrepresenting the band options? | 00:09 |
| bolosaur | or something? | 00:09 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: I guess "Setting up grub-gfxpayload-lists (0.6) ..." is doing something still | 00:09 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: It's the amount of bandwidth each radio frequency channel uses. The 2.4GHz band has room for 11-14 20MHz channels | 00:09 |
| bolosaur | okay | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: Why do you think that? | 00:09 |
| bolosaur | I know you've helped me out a lot already, but do you think you could point me in the right direction in regards to checking what you just said? | 00:09 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: No, I'm saying it could be that the hardware is automatically selecting 802.11n mode and configuring itself for 40MHz bandwidth channels | 00:10 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: When I clicked to close the window, it said "There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." | 00:10 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: So now we need to found out if the log files, when adhoc mode starts, indicate the channel bandwidth (or that it is 'n' mode) | 00:10 |
| bolosaur | okay | 00:10 |
| WeThePeople | why doesnt midnight commander read the files correctly? | 00:10 |
| bolosaur | ill check the logs | 00:10 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: I'm testing it here so let me check my local logs for clues | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | otterpawOnLaptop: That's just the chroot shell. "exit" will close the shell. | 00:10 |
| bolosaur | ok | 00:11 |
| otterpawOnLaptop | Jordan_U: ok, restarting | 00:11 |
| jagginess | WeThePeople, you mean the filenames don't look right? | 00:11 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Got it!! | 00:11 |
| otterpaw | :D | 00:11 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: Awesome. I'm viewing my log file atm | 00:11 |
| otterpaw | Jordan_U: It works :D | 00:11 |
| unless | When I lock my screen it seems instead of it get turn off it just reduces the bright to a minimum amount. Is it normal or it is happening because it is missing a video driver or something? | 00:12 |
| WeThePeople | jagginess, ill show you.. hold on | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | otterpaw: :) | 00:12 |
| jagginess | unless, could be many things.. | 00:12 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1191812/ | 00:13 |
| unless | jagginess, ok, and what do you suggest me first? | 00:13 |
| jagginess | unless, i wouldn't worry too much about it (i'd physically tap the button or use a blank screen), solving power/energy automagic with linux is still a pita and a wip | 00:13 |
| jagginess | ,/(blank screen saver),/ | 00:13 |
| jagginess | :/ (true only power savings that work well for me is intel motherboards) | 00:13 |
| TheHumanScience | so jagginess are saying that just bc i use an older version ur not gonna help me? | 00:13 |
| unless | jagginess, I am talking about a laptop here :P | 00:14 |
| otterpaw | ok, tomorrow, I'll actually learn how to use the terminal haha | 00:14 |
| jagginess | TheHumanScience, I'm saying I don't use 10.04 :/ | 00:14 |
| unless | jagginess, it is a Intel motherboard. | 00:14 |
| jagginess | TheHumanScience, it may even be a bug you're looking at (so you should check the bug reports) | 00:14 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: OK I found an entry like that in my log file. What am I looking for specifically? | 00:14 |
| MonkeyDust | otterpaw terminal is more versatile than the GUI | 00:14 |
| TheHumanScience | most of the terminal commands are universal | 00:14 |
| jagginess | unless, it's a pita. I can't say much.. | 00:14 |
| unless | jagginess, what is a pita? | 00:15 |
| jagginess | unless, but I have more success with intel motherboards than non-intel ones.. | 00:15 |
| MonkeyDust | pain in the *** | 00:15 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: Does it show like mine it's configuring for 40MHz channels? | 00:15 |
| jagginess | unless, this isn't ubuntu specific, this occurs on any linux with the hardware at hand.. (wip means a 'work in progress') | 00:15 |
| bolosaur | actually TJ, the start_freq is for my iphone tethering | 00:15 |
| bolosaur | nothing for the wifi shows i think :/ | 00:16 |
| unless | jagginess, if I were to try figure it out what would you recommend me as first step? | 00:16 |
| TJ- | bolosaur: It could be it chooses that 40000 range is the one it picks | 00:16 |
| WeThePeople | jagginess, http://imgh.us/geoip.jpg | 00:16 |
| jagginess | unless, i say don't bother :/ | 00:16 |
| unless | jagginess, ok, so there is nothing to be donne here. | 00:16 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: Every start_freq entry directly follows | 00:17 |
| unless | jagginess, I mean, besides don't bother :) | 00:17 |
| bolosaur | "ipeth blah blah apple iphone usb ethernet device" | 00:17 |
| bolosaur | so | 00:17 |
| jagginess | unless, you may* have an effect if you use a different default power state using the bios setup (eg, setting S3 instead of S1 as the power saving state) | 00:17 |
| bolosaur | am i looking at something iphone related or wifi related? :/ | 00:17 |
| otterpaw | TJ-: Jordan_U : Thank you both for your help! | 00:17 |
| jagginess | unless, i did this on one of my intel machines and got a positive feedback on it (but i won't step into the howto's with bioses atm) | 00:18 |
| unless | jagginess, why not? | 00:18 |
| jagginess | unless, because you have to consult your bios manual. | 00:18 |
| jagginess | :/ | 00:18 |
| jagginess | unless, and changing the bios can have adverse effects (negative ones too) | 00:19 |
| unless | jagginess, oh, ok. Well, I will find it and have a look. | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | otterpaw: You're welcome. | 00:19 |
| unless | jagginess, well I am willing to try it. Thank you for now. | 00:19 |

| cobble | hey. a while back my pc started freezing. it's pretty old; someone told me it was probably overheating. so I started turning it off @ night and when it's not being used. that seems to help greatly, in fact no problems for maybe 3 weeks. but now I've had a few freezes even after it has been powered off for a while and the text on the screen garbles | 00:34 |
| cobble | any suggestions? | 00:34 |
| bolosaur | TJ-: OK the first command printed a whole bunch of stuff | 00:34 |
| bolosaur | should i look for anything in particular | 00:35 |

| TJ- | bolosaur: paste it for me, It's all of interest | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | give it a good cleaning cobble and perhaps a larger fan or 2. its posible its so old/beat up theres a bad solder joint or other loose connections you should be checking | 00:35 |

| cobble | dr_jesus, okay | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | Jonii: you mean the little bit of 'stickyness' you have when moving a window across monitors? | 00:36 |
| Jonii | Moving mouse pointer from one display to another is blocked unless you move the mouse really, really fast | 00:36 |
| cobble | TJ-, so it really can make a difference then | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | Jonii: most likely a ccsm setting for that plugin. | 00:36 |
| chuxxsss | Maybe time to reinstall | 00:36 |
| TJ- | cobble: It reduced the temperatures from around 80C to 60C | 00:36 |

| rustler770 | got new hard drive, installed Ubuntu server, want to ru fsck but can't while it's mounted. Can I boot with Ubuntu Live CD and fsck from there? | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | I used to have 4 Pomerianians.. i had to clean the pcs about once a month.. down to 1 now. ;) | 00:37 |
| trism | Jonii: System Settings/Displays/Sticky Edges if you aren't using proprietary drivers, ccsm/unity/experimental/launcher captures mouse if you are | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | rustler770: yes.. or | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 00:37 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 00:37 |
| cobble | dr_willis, haha | 00:37 |

| chuxxsss | I think I'm about to stuff my ubuntu up :< | 00:42 |
| goddard | is there a free version of Vm Ware for normal desktop users? | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | You set its file type to be swap in fstab/gparted, then use mkswap on it, then use the swapon command, and make a fstab entry for the swap parittions. | 00:42 |
| Leidenfrost | goddard: vmware player | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | !swap | 00:43 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 00:43 |
| goddard | swap is also used on laptops for hibernation isn't it | 00:43 |
| Jonii | I don't think it is | 00:44 |
| TJ- | goddard: correct | 00:44 |
| Jonii | It is? | 00:44 |
| iNTEl | oh i think i got some little wrong information | 00:44 |
| TJ- | goddard: As long as swap is as big as the installed RAM | 00:44 |
| Leidenfrost | Jonii: Yes it is. | 00:44 |
| goddard | I heard you have to make your swap the same size as your memory | 00:44 |
| goddard | ya | 00:44 |
| iNTEl | my ram is 2 GB :( | 00:44 |
| Leidenfrost | goddard: No, just ensure your swap is big enough as your occupied memory. It makes no sense to make a 16gb swap partition if you only use 2 | 00:45 |
| iNTEl | k | 00:45 |
| morgan | anyone good with truecrypt? | 00:45 |
| OerHeks | it is all in the swapFAQ | 00:45 |
| Jonii | morgan, it's better to just ask the question | 00:45 |
| morgan | oh ty | 00:45 |
| iNTEl | so tell me the partition type should be btrfs or ext4 | 00:45 |
| WeThePeople | dr_willis, any ideas why midnight commander does this to files, http://imgh.us/geoip.jpg | 00:46 |
| Leidenfrost | iNTEl: btrfs isn't usable yet. | 00:46 |
| iNTEl | k | 00:46 |
| morgan | I need help mounting a hidden truecrypt volume that was created in windows D: | 00:46 |
| iNTEl | so i should use ext4 | 00:46 |
| Leidenfrost | iNTEl: Or, if you have plenty of ram, xfs. It's a great filesystem. | 00:46 |
| Jonii | morgan, where is this hidden volume? | 00:46 |
| Leidenfrost | iNTEl: Unless you want to read your linux partitions in Windows. | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | WeThePeople: you are viewing the contents of a binary file - looks like to me. | 00:47 |
| morgan | it is on a raid 1 array that I am not even sure is mounted correctly | 00:47 |
| iNTEl | i have 2 GB ram is it good enough ? | 00:47 |
| Jonii | You can locate it, or if it's an entire device, such as hdd, you can just select "auto mount devices", then enter the password | 00:47 |
| morgan | one of the partitions is showing up by default, the other partition on the raid is the hidden volume | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | morgan, If you have the password it should mount. | 00:47 |
| iNTEl | ya i wanna ubuntu with win | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | morgan, Is it a single file? | 00:48 |
| iNTEl | right ? | 00:48 |
| morgan | i have no idea how I set it up, and I think that is the problem D: | 00:48 |
| Leidenfrost | iNTEl: Not anymore. Better use ext4. | 00:48 |
| rustler770 | it worked | 00:48 |
| morgan | I thought I just did convert partition to hidden volume in windows | 00:48 |
| iNTEl | k | 00:48 |
| wilee-nilee | morgan, So your question is how do I set up truecryprt in ubuntu right? | 00:48 |
| Jonii | morgan, try auto mount device and enter the password. If that doesn't work, use something like partition magic to figure out the /sdc2 type name of that volume, and enter it, and select "mount" | 00:48 |
| wilee-nilee | !who | morgan | 00:49 |
| ubottu | morgan: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:49 |

| iNTEl | now the is some kind of secondary window called boot loader | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | iNTEl, what bootloader does mint use ? | 00:50 |
| wilee-nilee | grub2 | 00:50 |
| iNTEl | ya | 00:50 |
| Jonii | /dev/sdb2 or something. I think | 00:50 |
| iNTEl | mint uses now in the installation dev/sda6 | 00:50 |
| blackshirt | is that possible to install linux to uefi based system? | 00:51 |
| iNTEl | but it not an available choice | 00:51 |

| morgan | Jonii, i cannot find the correct 'partition magic' that you may be referring to D: | 00:52 |
| iNTEl | i will install at partition /dev/sda7 | 00:52 |
| iNTEl | so should i use it as a boot loader for the installation | 00:52 |

| iNTEl | i hope its not failed as usual XD | 00:53 |
| blackshirt | oerheks, thank guys... | 00:53 |
| iNTEl | can i skip the keyboard procces | 00:54 |
| iNTEl | cuz its takes long time to down | 00:54 |
| iNTEl | is there is someway | 00:55 |
| iNTEl | can i choose a language already on the cd so i haven't to download a new one ? | 00:55 |
| morgan | Jonii, when I hit auto-mount it says 'Incorrect password or no TrueCrypt volume found.' | 00:55 |
| morgan | Jonii, and I'm 100% sure the password is correct | 00:55 |
| OerHeks | iNTEl, mint has its own problems. | 00:55 |
| iNTEl | i think it is the same | 00:57 |
| iNTEl | cuz mint based on ubuntu | 00:57 |
| iNTEl | it is the same proplem | 00:57 |
| iNTEl | its in the desk setup | 00:57 |
| iNTEl | the last procces | 00:58 |
| iNTEl | called install after the progress bar " copying files " end its start downloading the language packages | 00:58 |
| iNTEl | when it reach 66% | 00:58 |
| iNTEl | the is a fatal error | 00:59 |
| iNTEl | dev/sda/................... | 00:59 |
| iNTEl | can't remember | 00:59 |
| iNTEl | its the same proplem | 00:59 |
| IdleOne | iNTEl: Please don't use the ENTER key so much and if you are running mint please seek help in the mint irc channel | 00:59 |

| morgan | I guess I should make sure my raid 1 array is done correctly, anyone wanna help me with that? :D | 01:00 |
| iNTEl | why all here says mint ! | 01:01 |
| iNTEl | as it not a distribtuion ? | 01:01 |
| simon_ | can't use my nexus tablet as a media device, anyone know how to fix that? | 01:01 |
| Jonii | morgan, dunno. Try to use partition magic to determine dev address of that partition where that hidden volume is located | 01:02 |
| Jonii | If you can't find it using partition magic, that's where you're running into problems. It should appear as unallocated or undetermined space on the device in question | 01:03 |
| morgan | Jonii, how do I install/find partition magic? | 01:04 |
| Jonii | morgan, ubuntu software center to install, pressing win-key and then typing "partition magic" and enter to launch. That, or pressing the icon on launcher that installing it does | 01:05 |
| morgan | Jonii, does not come up in search :\ | 01:06 |
| OerHeks | simon_, maybe this page is any help, http://www.nexus7tablethelp.com/2012/07/connect-nexus-7-to-linux-via-mtp-using.html | 01:06 |
| Jonii | morgan, sorry | 01:07 |
| Jonii | I meant gparted, I think... | 01:07 |
| Jonii | partition magic must be a name of some windows partition manager or something | 01:07 |
| TJ- | Jonii: Yes, I think so too :p | 01:07 |
| GleasonGrails | Anyone feel like helping a lonely soul with installing Ubuntu on a Mac I just bought | 01:07 |
| morgan | Jonii, yep! ok installing now | 01:07 |
| GleasonGrails | I tried following the directions but I just get a flashing cursor | 01:08 |
| maicod | is there a config file in which I can set an option so that apt-get install <package> never asks the y/n question? | 01:08 |
| morgan | Jonii, ok I believe the correct volume is in there as /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0p2 | 01:09 |
| TJ- | maicod: an option stored in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ | 01:09 |
| Jonii | morgan, err, that shouldn't be the case, I think...? | 01:09 |
| maicod | TJ-: ah thanks | 01:10 |
| Jonii | it should be of type /dev/sd<LETTER><NUMBER>, like /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb2 | 01:10 |
| TJ- | Jonii: Not when it's using dmraid | 01:10 |
| Jonii | Oh | 01:10 |
| Jonii | Then this is out of my league | 01:10 |
| goddard | When I connect a RGB connector on my laptop I hear a radio station on my stero system that is connected to my headphone jack | 01:10 |
| TJ- | Jonii: draid devices have a special meta-data label in front and get mounted with strange-looking names like that by dmsetup | 01:10 |
| daemon | hey all can anyone give me the output of this command ls -la /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock | 01:10 |
| TJ- | *dmraid* | 01:10 |
| morgan | I can see my 3 drives, then the mapper thing, which I believe is the raid 1 thing, correct? | 01:11 |
| tomreyn | maicod: APT::Get::Assume-Yes in /etc/apt/apt.conf - q.e. man 5 apt.conf | 01:11 |
| Jonii | Anyway, whatever the name of that partition, plug that into truecrypt, select mount and hope for the best, that's my advice. I don't think I can help further | 01:11 |
| morgan | Jonii, ok thank you | 01:11 |
| TJ- | morgan: Yes, that's correct... the traling "p2" is the partition number on that device, if I recall my Promise/dmraid days | 01:11 |
| maicod | tomaw: thanks ! | 01:11 |
| GleasonGrails | Anyone... | 01:11 |
| GleasonGrails | have experiance with new macs and installing? | 01:12 |
| GleasonGrails | not retina | 01:12 |
| morgan | TJ-, any idea what command I would use? I'm trying, without success: sudo truecrypt --mount-options=system -p=password --filesystem=ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0p2 /tmp | 01:13 |
| tomreyn | GleasonGrails: what's your real question? | 01:13 |
| GleasonGrails | tomreyn: Installed rEFIt(sp?) and when I boot I have a DVD in with Xubuntu AMD64. But when it boots I just get a cursor | 01:14 |
| TJ- | morgan: I've not needed to use truecrypt so I'm little help on that side I'm afraid | 01:14 |
| Church- | morgan: are you sure about which device to use for mounting? | 01:14 |
| morgan | Church-, I'm about 85% sure, lol | 01:14 |
| TJ- | morgan: What does "sudo blkid /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0p2 " report ? | 01:15 |
| Church- | at least with lvm volumes i needed to use /dev/volumegroupname/logicalvolumename instead of /dev/mapper/volumegroupname-logicalvolumename that shown up in df output, when it was mounted | 01:15 |
| tomreyn | GleasonGrails: i'm afraid i can't help, never installed on such hardware, but now that you explained the issue, others can help you. | 01:15 |
| morgan | TJ-, nothing, it's blank | 01:16 |
| Church- | morgan: so i wonder if it's not the same type of issue | 01:16 |
| TJ- | morgan: OK, that's promising... means it can't detect a file-system it knows about | 01:16 |
| GleasonGrails | CD seems fine on my ubuntu machine | 01:16 |
| TJ- | Church-: It makes no difference; the entries in /dev/mapper/ and /dev/VG/ are all symlinks to /dev/dm-XX device nodes | 01:17 |
| knownada | is there a user irc in /etc/passwd by default? | 01:17 |
| tomreyn | knownada: yes | 01:19 |
| morgan | it looks like the raid 1 is showing, just not the hidden partition I guess ? | 01:19 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | is there any way to get back to that network configuration thing from the ubuntu server install *after* the install has completed (12.04)? | 01:19 |
| knownada | k | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | knownada: there should be a password set for this user, though | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: which "network configuration thing"? | 01:21 |
| TJ- | morgan: Is that device mapper name the only one you get for that array? | 01:21 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | tomreyn: when installing, there's a semi-graphical menu that tries to help you configure your network | 01:21 |
| GleasonGrails | I used the partitioning tool as well | 01:22 |
| morgan | TJ-, no I also get the other partition /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0p1 which is already mounted to /media/local disk | 01:22 |
| morgan | TJ-, which is also from the raid 1 array | 01:22 |
| TJ- | morgan: OK ... is there any mapper entry that doesn't have a "pX" ending? | 01:24 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: i think this very menu is only available within the installer. you may want to install something like wicd. | 01:24 |
| morgan | TJ-, do you mean the raid 1 array which is just /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0 | 01:24 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: but there's not really much network configration, so you could as well just edit the configuration files directly. | 01:24 |
| WeThePeople | how to exit a sudo -i command | 01:25 |
| tomreyn | WeThePeople: ctrl-d or "exit" | 01:25 |
| TJ- | morgan: That's the fella!!! Try this: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0" and lets find out what the partition table is like | 01:25 |
| TJ- | morgan: That mapper entry is the entire 'disk' - think like an entire physical disk. So the partition table is in sector 0 of that device node, and we can check it | 01:26 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | tomreyn: i'm now just trying to figure out why my server isn't even communicating with my router. do you have some set of steps i try to follow to try to figure out what is (not) going on? | 01:27 |
| morgan | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1191887/ | 01:27 |
| [snake] | I was using psftp and I said close, and then bye, and now my ssh or sftp isn't working. | 01:27 |
| [snake] | I can get http though | 01:28 |
| Church- | WHAT_DOWN1: does ifconfig shows interface state configured with IP & netmask as needed? | 01:28 |
| TJ- | morgan: so p2 is 1.6TB ... would that match the size you expect for the encrypted partition? | 01:28 |
| GleasonGrails | Booting from CD in VMware works fin | 01:28 |
| morgan | TJ-, yes I believe that is the correct truecrypt volume size | 01:28 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: sure, start with "ip add show" and verify the interfaces are correctly named and have the right ip addresses, gateways and netmasks set | 01:29 |
| TJ- | morgan: So we've high confidence now that you are dealing with the correct device map | 01:29 |
| morgan | woot! | 01:29 |
| TJ- | morgan: Always helps to be sure to save wasting time chasing the wrong tail | 01:29 |
| morgan | TJ-, yep yep understandable | 01:29 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | Church-: it's only showing an ipv6 address even though everything should be ipv4. this should be entirely dhcp (for now) so i put in the two lines "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" into /etc/network/interfaces, but i'm not sure that's working correctly. | 01:30 |
| TJ- | morgan: I'm reading up on it now! | 01:30 |
| morgan | TJ-, ok thank you! take your time :] | 01:30 |
| TJ- | morgan: So, am I understanding correctly... You created this encrypted partition using TrueCrypt on Windows? | 01:30 |
| wilee-nilee | morgan, I have had problems with partitions from windows to linux, I just use a encrypted file and that works fine. | 01:32 |
| TJ- | morgan: And secondly, did you configure this as a Hidden Volume? | 01:32 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: can you still access the server if its nework is down, i.e. do you have it right next to you with a leyboard attached to it? | 01:32 |
| morgan | TJ-, correct, and yes it is hidden volume | 01:32 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | tomreyn, Church-: got it working by switching a cable. switching back makes it fail again, so the cable's probably busted. | 01:33 |
| morgan | and btw, once it is mounted, I'm gonna try to remove the encryption to make it normal partition or w/e | 01:33 |
| morgan | don't wanna do the truecrypt stuff anymore... | 01:33 |
| tomreyn | WHAT_DOWN1: cool. dont you have a link indication LED there? | 01:33 |
| TJ- | morgan: So, if I understand the docs correctly, you've first to mount the outer TrueCrypt volume with one key, then you can get to the inner hidden volume with a second key? | 01:33 |
| [snake] | I'm sad :< is it possible I got hacked at all? | 01:34 |
| WHAT_DOWN1 | tomreyn: yep. forgot about it :(. my mistake. | 01:34 |
| morgan | TJ-, i have no idea D: I only have 1 password which I believe was for the 'hidden volume' only | 01:34 |
| morgan | TJ-, in windows, I would just hit 'auto mount' and then type in the password and it would work... | 01:34 |
| TJ- | morgan: Ok, no, I didn't read far enough... Truecrypt tries to open the outer volume but if that fails it looks to the location of the inner-volume header and tries that | 01:35 |
| TJ- | morgan: So I understand how it's laid out now... now to read up on the command usage | 01:35 |
| tomreyn | [snake]: it's more likely you accidentially misconfigured something. | 01:36 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, ok, I'll check when I get home for ssh configuration. Maybe I limited how many connections in a day or something??? | 01:37 |
| tomreyn | [snake]: can you ssh Or just netcat or even ping it, still? | 01:37 |
| TJ- | morgan: I'm dowloading/install it here. I'm going to create a dmraid mirror and encrypt it like yours it, to practice | 01:37 |
| morgan | TJ-, haha, you're awesome. thank you!! | 01:38 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, I still get http. Idk how to netcat or ping(ping port 22) on windowz | 01:38 |
| tomreyn | [snake]: it's unlikely that you accidentially set up rate limiting. | 01:38 |
| tomreyn | [snake]: oh you're on windows. well you can ping at least then, but if http still works (sorry ou said so) this isn't worth testing. | 01:39 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, I don't remember doing it haha. but I'm not sure what the issue is. | 01:39 |
| Blue1 | i am trying to recover a blown boot block - simple -- http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/ but it won't let me chroot - using ubuntu 10.04 livecd | 01:39 |
| tomreyn | [snake]: if you have telnet (client) installed you can try to: telnet <server_IP> 22 | 01:40 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, yeah. http still works I just can't ssh | 01:40 |
| tomreyn | Blue1: what's the command you are running to chroot and the error message you get in return? | 01:45 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, My school blocked telnet on this laptop... which is dumb because they gave the laptop to the student and clean it out completely for each student. | 01:45 |
| agoodm | hi, can anyone indicate to me how linux software raid decides if a device is bad? | 01:45 |
| [snake] | tomreyn, I will have to do it at home. thanks for helping | 01:46 |
| [snake] | exit | 01:46 |
| [snake] | meh... sorry about that | 01:46 |
| tomreyn | ;-) no worries, and good luck | 01:46 |
| Blue1 | tomreyn: i mountded the device sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt - that works - then sudo chroot /mnt -- error is no such file or command | 01:47 |
| === Guest35679 is now known as euphoria | ||
| Jordan_U | Blue1: Please post exact error messages (using hhtp://pastebin.ubuntu.com if it's more than one line). But the problem is probably that you mounted the wrong partition. | 01:48 |
| agoodm | my reason for asking is that recently two servers in a deployment of several boxes have suffered what I would call failed hard drives; there are many pending sectors yet software raid still remained in a 'good' or healthy state with no dropped drives (until I manually failed the drives) | 01:48 |
| Blue1 | Jordan_U: I can't it is on another system - | 01:48 |
| tomreyn | Blue1: and youÄRe sure /dev/sda1 is the right partition? and there is just this one partition which contains all of your linux installation? | 01:48 |
| Blue1 | yes | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | Blue1: Can you connect to IRC from the machine in question? | 01:48 |
| tomreyn | Blue1: you may use the web chat at http://webchat.freenode.net | 01:49 |
| Blue1 | Jordan_U: dunno I can try. | 01:49 |
| morgan | TJ-, OH SHIT I THINK I GOT IT | 01:50 |
| morgan | TJ-, i did sudo truecrypt --filesystem=ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/isw_defgabgbdi_Volume0p2 /media | 01:51 |
| morgan | TJ-, shit, but everything that was at /media is now gone haha | 01:51 |

| ashes | uhm | 01:52 |
| trism | DracoDanLRPC: #ubuntu+1 | 01:52 |

| DracoDanLRPC | you know that name makes no sense... | 01:53 |
| DracoDanLRPC | it should be something like ubuntu-next | 01:53 |

| napster | How to cleanup packages after removing a PPA? | 01:57 |
| guywithkeyboard | hey I'm having a problem with a bash script... Script is here: http://pastebin.com/GMfQwc4M | 01:57 |
| guest_ | . | 01:57 |
| guest_ | 0.0 | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | napster: reinstall/reactive the PPA and use ppa-purge to remove it | 01:57 |
| guywithkeyboard | problem is it should (as far as I know) open thunderbird and chrome at once, but it doesn't.. Instead it opens thunderbird, and when I close thunderbird THEN chrome opens | 01:58 |
| napster | tomreyn: ok | 01:58 |
| ashes | tomreyn: natty. it's distributed by "trim slice" for this device. they expect me to use the graphical installer, but i have issues with my monitor... i want to do the install from my serial console | 01:58 |
| Sokel | guywithkeyboard: What you need to understand about bash being in a GUI environment is that things run until they finish. | 01:58 |
| Sokel | guywithkeyboard: And then the rest of the script will run. | 01:58 |
| ashes | tomreyn: it's an install image | 01:58 |
| guywithkeyboard | Sokel: Yeah but the && should launch thunderbird and move onto the next command shouldn't it? | 01:58 |
| tomreyn | guywithkeyboard: you want to add a blank space and a backslash to the end of the first line | 01:59 |
| guywithkeyboard | tomreyn: thanks, will try that | 01:59 |
| Sokel | guywithkeyboard: Better way to do it... nohup thunderbird & | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | Blue1: Empathy can do IRC, but I would recommend installing Xchat or using http://webchat.freenode.net from a browser instead. | 02:00 |
| guywithkeyboard | tomreyn: Ok now the script looks like this: http://pastebin.com/HE1xUjyw and gives me the same results | 02:01 |
| guywithkeyboard | Sokel: the nohup solution works, thanks! | 02:02 |
| guywithkeyboard | will man nohup now ;) | 02:02 |

| l1t | I know how to create startup scripts. But how do I make a startup script run last out of all the startup scrips...If that makes sense? | 02:02 |
| l1t | And or how do I make one run first. So the first thing init calls upon is the script in question | 02:02 |
| Church- | l1t: it probably depends on init system used | 02:02 |
| l1t | 10.04 sooo system v | 02:03 |
| l1t | not systemd | 02:03 |
| blueguy | !pastebin | 02:03 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:03 |
| l1t | Church-: initdaemon I guess right? Not systemd | 02:03 |
| Church- | in sysv style initscripts it was by numbers that prefixed name of symlink to initscript | 02:03 |
| ashes | i booted an ubuntu install image and have a serial console with a root shell. what is the command to start the installer? | 02:03 |
| battlestar | Pro tip #1: run "chattr +i ~/.local/share/Trash/files" to remove the "trash" function and permanently delete things the first time | 02:03 |
| Church- | 00-99, put bigger number to start later, smaller to start sooner | 02:04 |
| l1t | Church-: well if I look in rc2.d for instance I see a few with the number 99 appended to their symlinks | 02:04 |
| l1t | Church-: that what your speaking about? | 02:04 |
| Church- | l1t: in sysv usually there are initscripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and /etc/rc.d/rc#.d runlevel dirs with simlinks to those initscripts. 87_initscript will be run before 88_initscript | 02:05 |
| blueguy | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1191922/ | 02:05 |
| tomreyn | ashes: i woulld think it would work using the alternate installer. most likely not using the standard ubuntu installer / live cd | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | blueguy: You need a 64 bit liveCD to chroot into a 64 bit system. | 02:06 |
| l1t | Church-: mmk thanks | 02:06 |
| napster | tomreyn: ppa-purge doesn't remove packages in that PPA :( | 02:06 |
| Thunderb0lT | Does anybody know whether Teamviewer uses Adobe Flash in Ubuntu while viewing opponent's desktop? if not is there any IRC channel on this matter in freenode network? thanks | 02:06 |
| tomreyn | napster: without error message? | 02:07 |
| napster | tomreyn: no : E: Release 'oneiric' for 'postman' was not found | 02:07 |
| tomreyn | napster: what were you running there? | 02:08 |
| l1t | Church-: so I just simply change the number? That wont screw aything up? Also to my understanding in ubuntu (for some reason) our run level 2 3 etc. all are multiuser with networking. So would I change the number for each script in each directory rc2.d rc3.d etc...? | 02:08 |
| napster | tomreyn: I'm linux mint 13 | 02:08 |
| blueguy | Jordan_U: thank you for the sanity check | 02:08 |
| napster | *I'm on | 02:08 |
| tomreyn | napster: what's the name of this channel? | 02:08 |
| napster | ha, kick me | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | blueguy: You're welcome. | 02:09 |
| Church- | l1t: to complete review of sysv initsript style there is also defined default runlevel in /etc/inittab, scripts in runlevel dirs are run with start or stop param depending if link name is prefixed with S or K (short for start or kill). and often there is also rc.local script, that usually is run after everything else, and might contain some commands/scripts to run in addition to those simlinked scripts | 02:09 |
| Thunderb0lT | Does anybody know whether Teamviewer uses Adobe Flash in Ubuntu while viewing opponent's desktop? | 02:09 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy all. Got a question. I'm building a system up from ubuntu minimal. Have a couple of configs im trying to figure out: 1) Nautilus without Gnome, or another filemanager that can make ssh connections; 2) sound. alsa is installed, but not getting anything. 3) multiple monitors under openbox | 02:10 |
| Church- | as to your last question, yes, simply rename that link (or script) with increased number for it to be run later after scripts with lesser numbers | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | napster: I hope we don't need to kick you, but this channel is for Ubuntu support only. There is a mint support channel at #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org . | 02:10 |

| ubottu | napster: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 02:10 |

| Thunderb0lT | napster: yo nick reminds me SEan Parker | 02:11 |
| napster | I would rather install ubuntu tweak instead of heading to another server | 02:11 |
| econdudeawesome | napster: try /join #linuxmint-help | 02:11 |
| Church- | l1t: just when changing number think that particular service might depend on other things run before it, so you shouldn't for example decrease number that much, when some dependant stuff hasn't been launched yet | 02:11 |
| l1t | Church-: nope no inittab here. And rc.local just executes whatever run level im in | 02:11 |
| napster | Thunderb0lT: I'm just a guy who takes a 'nap' every once in a while ;) | 02:12 |
| econdudeawesome | wait, I don't think nautilus needs gnome, must have been something else | 02:12 |
| ^moonriver^ | good morning | 02:12 |
| l1t | Church-: ok good point | 02:12 |
| tomreyn | good evening | 02:12 |
| l1t | Church-: But this still does not answer if I should change the number for all run levels ubuntu calls multiuser + networking | 02:12 |
| econdudeawesome | but getting alsa to work right, and getting multiple monitors working right under openbox (I'll google on the last one tho) | 02:12 |
| howardgrigg | hey guys I'm having issues trying to get Avahi working - has anyone used it? | 02:13 |
| l1t | Church-: Church- nevermind I guess all I have to worry about is the symlinks in rc2.d right? | 02:13 |
| Church- | l1t: set for runlevel you are booting to default | 02:13 |
| l1t | Church-: ok thanks again | 02:13 |
| ^moonriver^ | morning here evening there | 02:13 |
| Church- | if you are usually using rc2.d, yes, change there | 02:13 |
| Church- | if usually runlevel 2 that is. | 02:13 |

| Leidenfrost | This is making me mad. I'm trying to change the firefox language to spanish. However, It just ignores what I specify in language settings, kde control panel and about:config | 02:23 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: do you have the firefox spanish locale package installed | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | ? | 02:24 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: yes. | 02:25 |

| === rofl is now known as Tux | ||
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: have you restarted firefox since installing the locale package? | 02:26 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: I guess spanish, looking from the kde locale configuration. And yes, I restarted even the computer. | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: run this in a terminal, and post its output: echo $LANG | 02:27 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: I was looking into it. en_US.UTF-8 | 02:27 |
| Leidenfrost | I don't remember how to specify LANG in a user-specific way. | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: do you have a firefox extension installed for switching locales by chance? | 02:28 |
| morgan | TJ-, yeah I think I got it all working now | 02:28 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: Nope. | 02:29 |
| morgan | TJ-, how do I change the other partition to mount to another folder? | 02:29 |
| RawgerNice | wake up lion | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: and firefox menus are currently in english? | 02:29 |
| morgan | TJ-, nevermind. gonna try to figure out how to remove the encryption now, then gonna just merge the partitions | 02:29 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: Yes. KDE is in spanish but firefox is in english. | 02:29 |
| TJ- | morgan: When you mount a file-system, you specify and empty directory to mount at. So create one, e.g. "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk12" and then use "/mnt/disk12" in the mount command | 02:30 |
| morgan | TJ-, it mounts on it's own, i never mounted it like that D: | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: hmm if you hadn't told me differentl i would noiw assueme you don't actually have the locale package installed. | 02:31 |
| Sokel | morgan: You need to change /etc/fstab | 02:31 |
| Leidenfrost | tomreyn: I'm sure I have installed it. Aptitude shows it as installed. | 02:31 |
| Leidenfrost | brb | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | Leidenfrost: that's not a proper fix, just a workaround, but you could install the "Quick locale switcher" addon for firefox to make it work for now. | 02:31 |

| econdudeawesome | nope, still can't get the sound to work | 02:33 |
| econdudeawesome | ubuntu minimal install | 02:33 |

| Sokel | morgan: Time out, is this a removable drive? | 02:34 |
| morgan | Sokel, nope it's just a partition that is in a raid 1 array | 02:34 |
| Sokel | morgan: Then you would add it. | 02:35 |
| Sokel | morgan: Mount it by uuid. | 02:35 |
| morgan | Sokel, ok what do I put for options and dump and pass? so far I have: UUID=20E419BFE41997DC /media/stuff/ ntfs | 02:37 |
| leidenfrost | tomreyn: Thanks, the add-on worked :) | 02:38 |
| Sokel | morgan: uuid mountpoint ntfs user,defaults 0 0 | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | leidenfrost: and i misread what you posted earlier, you said you have your locale set to english, not spanish | 02:38 |
| leidenfrost | tomreyn, yes, I'll deal with the locale later. | 02:39 |
| morgan | Sokel, ok i have no idea what that means lol | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | leidenfrost: you can set your locale globally on your computer as a default for all users or just for your user. | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | i think fixing that would fix fixrefox, too | 02:39 |
| leidenfrost | tomreyn, I don't want that. I'm fine with ubuntu in english. However, my mother needs to have the system in spanish :) | 02:39 |
| Sokel | morgan: Typical of most ubuntu users. If you just put UUID=20E419BFE41997DC /media/stuff/ ntfs user,defaults 0 0 | 02:40 |
| Sokel | morgan: It's going to mount. | 02:40 |
| Sokel | morgan: You don't need anything fancy. | 02:40 |
| leidenfrost | tomreyn, I gtg. I'll deal with that later. Thanks anyway. | 02:40 |
| morgan | Sokel, ok got it, then I just reboot? | 02:40 |
| Sokel | morgan: Pretty much. That folder better exist or it's going to halt. | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | leidenfrost: logged in on your mom's account, do echo 'export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8' >> ~/.bash | 02:41 |

| qcjn | hi, i have a "homework" making a service start up script. But in college we fedora 15. Since at home i'm using Ubuntu, i thought of making it on ubuntu. But it seems that there is a lot of difference. from syslog to rsyslog. no chkconfig on ubuntu. functions are not at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. and are the functions the same ? And maybe there's other thing i haven't seen. ??? | 02:49 |

| scarecrow | esiest way to fix grub if you are unfamiliar with the console is to re-install. just "choose something else" when it asks how you want to install. re-use the big partition as "/" and the small one as swap. make sure grub is installed onto the right drive (if USB is sda and hard drive is sdb install on sdb. if hdd is sda and usb is sdb, install grub to sda) | 02:55 |

| Sokel | tucemiux: Are you using their standard stuff? Have you tried kubuntu or xubuntu and have gotten the same effects? | 03:05 |
| tucemiux | Sokel, ive tried kubuntu - its worst than ubuntu with that kde, xubuntu is too weak | 03:05 |
| Sokel | tucemiux: <opinion> xfce/lxde is far better than unity, much more clean and robust for my daily work :) </opinion> KDE is better than unity anyway. | 03:06 |
| worm | tucemiux: But actually xubuntu is not weak. And how about Gnome 3? | 03:06 |
| morgan | xubuntu was horrible for me | 03:07 |
| Sokel | worm: You should know canonical hates gnome 3. | 03:07 |
| tucemiux | i guess what youre saying ubuntu is no longer fixable? o.O | 03:07 |
| Sokel | worm: Why do you think there's such a shotty implementation of it. They stopped caring about it a long time ago. | 03:07 |

| Nautilus__ | is Brasero (in 10.04) any good or is it junk? | 03:08 |
| Sokel | And to be fairly honest, upgrades and updates wouldn't break things if they learned to stop moving configuration files and the way things work in the first place. | 03:08 |
| morgan | I had serious gfx/vsync issues when I tried xubuntu, installed ubuntu 12.04 and now my video is flawless | 03:08 |

| worm | Nautilus__: In my opinion, k3b is better than Brasero, because Brasero had wrecked a lot of discs... | 03:10 |

| worm | That's right... And I am actually doing "apt-get build-dep sth && apt-get source sth" instead of apt-get install now. | 03:32 |

| nyRednek | Cell: i've never filled a 40 gig / | 03:34 |
| nyRednek | Cell: i devote most space to /home | 03:34 |
| Cell | I allocated 40 gig to this setup actually, thinking it would be more than enough | 03:35 |
| worm | Cell, it depends what you want to do with your computer. If you want to use it as a http file server, you'll need a huge / | 03:35 |
| Cell | and somehow I've fillled almost 50% of it | 03:35 |

| Cell | is 10 gig for / overkill? | 03:36 |

| leslie_ | I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a tower that I have put together. I boot fine, and all seems to be ok up to the point of connecting to the internet. The wireless router tells me that I am connected, but firefox will not connect to any address, I don't know what I am doing wrong | 04:30 |
| hfic | leslie_, Just because your connected to the router doesn't mean you have internet connection. | 04:30 |
| sunilrk | is dhcp enabled in your router leslie | 04:31 |
| someHUMON | hi | 04:33 |
| leslie_ | hfic, I know but I have this computer connected and the wifes also, all are wireless I cannot seem to find out where I am dropping the ball. All the puters are in the same location | 04:33 |
| subcool | ubuntu - u really know how to FSU. | 04:34 |

| subcool | someone pelase tell me why this keeps failing? | 04:36 |
| subcool | upgrading to 12.04.1 has BEEN A NIGHTMARE | 04:36 |
| subcool | NOTHING works.. | 04:36 |
| subcool | i feel like i just instaled windows. | 04:36 |
| subcool | Ubuntu's version of Win ME! | 04:36 |
| bazhang | subcool, file a bug | 04:36 |
| subcool | HA! | 04:37 |
| subcool | i have filed sooo many bugs.. | 04:37 |
| gogeta | subcool: why not use transmission | 04:37 |
| subcool | KDE has blocked me from being ABLE to file anymore bugs | 04:37 |
| bazhang | this is not the complaints department subcool use a different client or file a bug | 04:37 |
| gogeta | subcool: it has the same features | 04:37 |
| subcool | its my complain department. THEIR complaint department is a empty trashcan barrel with a multcher | 04:39 |
| bazhang | subcool, no it's not. please desist | 04:39 |
| subcool | then tell me why Azureus died... | 04:39 |
| subcool | Start fails: | 04:39 |
| subcool | com.aelitis.azureus.core.AzureusCoreException: Azureus core already instantiated | 04:39 |
| subcool | i upgrade, and it died. ALong with my wine, open office, Microsoft office, and well EVERYTHIng i need, when i need it. | 04:40 |
| Sokel | subcool: That's why you don't upgrade. DO a clean install. | 04:40 |
| subcool | Sokel, yea, i know. | 04:40 |
| gogeta | subcool: becouse its Java | 04:40 |
| gogeta | subcool: you will have to install the real Java not openjdk | 04:41 |
| Sokel | subcool: That's why I have a script to do my 'upgrades'. It does all of the 'restores' after a clean install. | 04:42 |
| subcool | and whats that? | 04:42 |
| subcool | i remember running across some kinda backup- that did the same, when i left mandriva for the SAME reason | 04:42 |
| Sokel | subcool: I build my own scripts. | 04:43 |
| subcool | Something doesnt work, people say upgrade to LTS. I upgrade.. and EVERYTHING goes to hell. | 04:43 |
| subcool | oh- :/ | 04:43 |
| Sokel | subcool: NEVER upgrade. Clean installs only. | 04:43 |
| subcool | there use to be something in the old stock apt-get backup or something | 04:43 |
| gogeta | subcool: its probly a openjdk issue like I said | 04:43 |
| subcool | Sokel, yea, i know- i was taught that. But everyone says NOW adays they fixed everything. | 04:43 |
| subcool | gogeta, thanks... ill uninstall and reinstall java like everything else.. | 04:44 |

| Nautilus__ | k3b tells me it's burning an ISO9660 filesystem, but Brasero showed me a warning that I think meant I had too many directory levels for ISO9660. That seems odd, since k3b seems GREAT so far. Anyone with feedback? | 04:54 |
| subcool | gogeta, i dont remember.. i use to have issues with java,- then lead to something that just worked | 04:54 |

| Nautilus__ | caffine: s'ok! | 04:57 |
| bazhang | !java | subcool have a read | 04:57 |
| ubottu | subcool have a read: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:57 |
| lotuspsychje | Nautilus__:so what are you sugesting? | 04:57 |
| Nautilus__ | gogeta: it's a DVD. Oh wait, maybe DVD's handle the directory level and Brasero was throwing the warning in error? | 04:58 |
| morgan | I can't add sublime text to launcher :( | 04:58 |
| Nautilus__ | lotuspsychje: nothing in particular, just sayin what the problem is | 04:58 |
| Nautilus__ | lotuspsychje: my "best guess" at the problem anyways, as someone that's written mouse drivers. | 04:59 |
| subcool | im taking a break from this- THanks.. illl be back maybe tmo. | 04:59 |
| gogeta | Nautilus__: DVD'S can handle more. because of Joliet | 04:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Nautilus__:you think its a mouse driver problem no grafix card driver? | 05:00 |
| Nautilus__ | gogeta: gotcha. So perhaps it was a wrongful error in Brasero. Thanks. That pretty much closes that Q | 05:00 |
| gogeta | Nautilus__: it sounds like a legacy warning | 05:00 |
| Nautilus__ | gogeta: yea | 05:01 |
| Flaffen | hi | 05:01 |
| Flaffen | anyone here? | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: just ask your question mate | 05:01 |
| Nautilus__ | lotuspsychje: not really, I would assume mouse support is native, unless perhaps you installed something special? Otherwise I'd say the display driver isn't doing the blit's correctly. | 05:02 |
| Flaffen | ok, i've been installling a bunch of drivers and whatnot, still cant get Opengl or glx to friggin work | 05:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Nautilus__: oh so i could try another ati driver your guess? | 05:02 |
| Flaffen | tried the 173. ones, the current, the bumblebee drivers. | 05:02 |
| Nautilus__ | lotuspsychje: sounds like the first thing to try, good luck :) | 05:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: ati or nvidia? | 05:03 |
| gogeta | Flaffen: what video card | 05:03 |
| Flaffen | nvidia optimus | 05:03 |
| Flaffen | laptop thing, m540 (or 540m) | 05:03 |
| h22turbo | which nvidia driver should I use? nvidia-current? nvidia-current-updates? or install the latest driver from nvidia.com? I have integrated GeForce 6150 LE | 05:03 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: did you install nvidia-current? | 05:03 |
| Flaffen | yep | 05:03 |
| gogeta | Flaffen: that card sounds pretty old you might need to legacy drivers | 05:04 |
| Flaffen | should i get rid of everything but current? | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: did you try unity2d to run properly? | 05:04 |
| Flaffen | old? i think its kinda new, i hvent really had this comp tha tlong | 05:05 |
| Flaffen | that is? | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: default is unity3d with effects, you could try unity2d to test | 05:05 |
| gogeta | Flaffen: it a gtx? | 05:05 |

| Divine_E | Hey guys, quick question that hopefully has a quick easy solution. I had set up my install to automatically mount a partition /sda3 using the program Storage Device Manager. After deciding I no longer needed Windows 7 or the other partition, i deleted them to make more room for my Ubuntu partition. Now when I boot into Ubuntu, it gives an error saying sda3 can't be mounted, and I have to press S to skip. This is mildly annoying. I | 05:05 |
| Divine_E | s there a way to get it to stop trying to mount sda3? | 05:05 |

| chuxxsss | still having problems using APT-Get.... Been searching the web no joy. | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | chuxxsss:what about describe your problem mate | 05:18 |
| Divine_E | Um, guys... It's been a bit since I've had to mess with my system... How would I open said file with root access again? | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Adie_:you should also focus on the problem u have on 12.10 | 05:19 |
| Adie_ | I don't know how to open the terminal :x | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E: open terminal and sudo packagename | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !bash | Divine_E Adie_ | 05:20 |
| ubottu | Divine_E Adie_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:20 |
| chuxxsss | When using Synapic package manager, will not download anything. Tired to change (Select Best Server) | 05:20 |
| IdleOne | Adie_: same way you did before you ran that command | 05:20 |
| Divine_E | Ah okay. I knew the sudo part, I just couldn't remember if there was something special I had to do to open a file up with the text editor. | 05:20 |
| chuxxsss | Comes back with no internet | 05:21 |
| gogeta | Divine_E: or save it in home and move it over as root make backup as well | 05:21 |
| Adie_ | IdleOne: sorry: I don't have a GUI | 05:21 |
| Adie_ | IdleOne: http://i.imgur.com/tXCGT.jpg | 05:21 |
| Adie_ | updating to 12.10 broke it | 05:21 |
| Adie_ | well, I mean... no window manager | 05:21 |
| IdleOne | Adie_: but if you really don't know how to get to a terminal I suggest you do a clean install of 12.04 | 05:21 |
| Adie_ | do YOU know how to get to the terminal from this? | 05:21 |
| IdleOne | Adie_: ctrl-alt-F1, F7 will take you back to gui. more support in #ubuntu+1 since you're running 12.10 | 05:22 |
| gogeta | Divine_E: that way if the system has a Hart attack you can recover it | 05:22 |
| chuxxsss | Which port does APT-Get use? | 05:22 |
| chuxxsss | Please | 05:23 |
| Divine_E | I already have a back up of the system. I have a 1 tb external with all my important data. | 05:23 |
| lotuspsychje | IdleOne:you know howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer every cold boot on older ati card an radeon driver? 'nomodeset' fixes it but compiz is onworkable.. | 05:23 |
| lotuspsychje | chuxxsss:you think router blocks apt-get? | 05:23 |
| jeep | lotuspsychje: did you try a custom kernel yet ? | 05:23 |
| chuxxsss | yes lotuspsychje | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | jeep:no mate howto? and wich one? | 05:24 |
| chuxxsss | I have netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " to get ports but not sure which port controls it. | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | chuxxsss:http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/1041-apt-get.html | 05:25 |
| chuxxsss | I will try it thanks lotuspsychje | 05:26 |
| Auzy | g'day.. Is something seriously wack with Ubuntu at the moment? I've noticed in Ubuntu, I can't always click the menu's icon, in Kubuntu fresh, same thing happens, and I noticed a patch was applied 2 days ago affecting the focus of apps... | 05:26 |
| Auzy | I mean, the show all apps button | 05:26 |
| Auzy | In kubuntu, there are similar isues. if I press the K, that works, but, if I move around in the menus, certain windows don't respond to clicks, etc | 05:27 |
| lotuspsychje | chuxxsss:while trying the apt-get on synaptics, you could tail-f /var/log/syslog to see whats happening | 05:28 |
| Flaffen | back | 05:30 |
| jeep | lotuspsychje: just for entertainment purposes i would try newest stable from kernel.org | 05:30 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: any luck mate | 05:30 |
| Flaffen | nope, no difference in 2d either | 05:31 |
| Flaffen | and only got current installed | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen:did you upgrade ubuntu or clean install? | 05:31 |
| Divine_E | Alright, edited the file. Going to restart. Here goes nothing. | 05:31 |
| Divine_E | Thanks for the help. | 05:31 |
| Flaffen | clean install like hours ago | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen:not all cards run compiz and gl properly, maybe try ##hardware to check your card+ubuntu? | 05:32 |
| Flaffen | hardwaremonitor or somthing? | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | jeep: cant i run a commandline kernel upgrade? | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: no its a channel supporting hardware | 05:33 |
| Flaffen | ah ok | 05:34 |
| Divine_E | Okay, the good news? My computer didn't die. The bad news? It gives the same error still, but with 'O' or '0' in place of sda3. | 05:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:can you pastebin your etc/fstab here plz | 05:35 |
| jeep | lotuspsychje: take source from kernel.org ... make .deb from it and install it you always apt-get remove it as well | 05:35 |

| Flaffen | @lotuspsychje, no response whatsoever | 05:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:check gparted to see if there are no left-overs on that partition | 05:39 |
| Flaffen | anyways, it has worked better earlier | 05:39 |
| Flaffen | dunno if glx or opengl worked, but i could play simple games, now they wont even open @lotuspsychje | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: any logs in /var/log that could interest your problem? | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen, use nickname: to highlight | 05:40 |
| Flaffen | lotus: doubt it, dunno what to look for, and what worked is at least 2 clean installs ago | 05:42 |
| Flaffen | there, unity 2d crashed too | 05:45 |
| Divine_E | No, only my Ubuntu partiton and and Linux swap are there. | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen: did you look at additional drivers ? | 05:45 |
| morgan | what password do I put in when I do: sudo mount -t smbfs //readyshare/usb_storage/ /media/readyshare/ | 05:45 |
| Flaffen | ye, i've looked at 173. current, bumblebee | 05:45 |
| Flaffen | and the nvidia setup thing says xorg aint using something, and when i do nvidia-xconfig i get like 320x240 rez, and i cant get it back to normal | 05:46 |
| Flaffen | unless i manually delete the thing and replace with old one | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E: you sure there is no drive still connected in pc thats broken or something? | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen:read in ##hardware | 05:47 |
| Divine_E | 100% sure. sda3 was a partition that is now gone. | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:not sure then why it still warns you on boot | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen:the guy on hardware says it might conflict with xorg | 05:49 |
| Flaffen | ok, so it usually has issues with it, problem is that i've had simple games like emulators working with graphics before | 05:50 |
| Divine_E | Well, it seems a little progress has been made since it says '0' instead of 'sda3' | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Flaffen:maybe google bugs on optimus and xorg to see? | 05:50 |
| Flaffen | ok, hmm, what i doo then? | 05:50 |
| Flaffen | ij | 05:50 |
| Flaffen | iok* | 05:50 |
| Divine_E | There is a folder labeled 'sda3' under /media | 05:51 |
| Divine_E | it is completely empty though, and is a folder, not a device. | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E: can you try install ntfs-3g, config it and reboot? | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:might be the last line too much on fstab nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,user,owner,uid=divine 0 0 | 05:53 |
| Divine_E | So, I should delete that line? | 05:54 |

| Cell | Hey guys I just read Ubuntu 12.10 supports full disk encryption. How is this different from what I'm currently using (I chose encryption during the install process)? | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Cell: install proces your /home encrypted | 05:56 |
| Divine_E | Alright, made said changes, and will be restarting now. I will report back with results. | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Cell:full disk means your whole drive | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | !encryption | Cell | 05:57 |
| ubottu | Cell: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 05:57 |
| Cell | are those two different services though? Is full disk encryption done by EncryptFS? | 05:57 |
| Cell | If I use full disk encryption, is my home directory also encrypted seperately with LVM? | 05:58 |

| lotuspsychje | mirgan:sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Cell: i think if you use whole drive encryption your home will be auto too | 05:59 |
| Divine_E | It worked. Thank you so much. | 06:00 |
| Flaffen | lotus: damn, still get Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig | 06:00 |
| Flaffen | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E: /media still showing stuff now? | 06:00 |
| Cell | lotuspsychje: so if I have several user directories, anyone with the password to boot up the system could also access the files in the other users' directories? or is each one encrypted with a seperate key? | 06:01 |
| Divine_E | Yeah, still shows a sda3 folder that is empty. | 06:01 |
| Cell | the installer screenshot seems to suggest LVM is not used if you select full disk encryption | 06:01 |
| morgan | lotuspsychje, was that to me? it asks for 'password' not my sudo password or anyting like it needs password for the share??? | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Cell: i think its more recommended to encrypt /home dirs seperate...if a home is encrypted it would be safe with long pass | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:a folder with hd icon? | 06:03 |
| Divine_E | No, seems to be just a folder. | 06:03 |

| lotuspsychje | DrProfessor:sorry mate only ubuntu problems here | 06:09 |
| Divine_E | It moved over fine. | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:means there is still an ntfs partition mate | 06:09 |
| joe__663 | hey guys, ubuntu 12.04 lts. my display messed up after running 'apt-get install nvidia-current' | 06:10 |

| joe__663 | so i ran 'apt-get purge nvidia-current' but that didn't help. i can't get beyond very low resolution of 640x840 | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:try installing ntfs-3g, config your drive and reboot | 06:11 |
| Divine_E | I just deleted the folder titled sda3 | 06:11 |
| Divine_E | it's gone now. | 06:11 |
| tsimpson | DrProfessor: pipe the output through more or less: "vlc --help | more" or "vlc --help | less" | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E:lol that doesnt mean the physical partition will be gone | 06:12 |
| Divine_E | ... There is no partition. | 06:12 |
| Divine_E | It seemed to be an empty folder. | 06:12 |
| DrProfessor | tsimpson: thanks! that did it. | 06:13 |
| Divine_E | I erased sda3 a while ago, and gave it's space to sda4 | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | Divine_E: i would try ntfs-3g to make sure, if it doesnt find any ntfs partitions anymore, u safe to go | 06:13 |
| Divine_E | which is an Ubuntu partition consisting of sda5, and sda6 the file system and the swap respectively. | 06:14 |

| joe__663 | yeah, that's how i got all messed up for me, after doing that screen was pixelate | 06:37 |
| DrProfessor | Nautilus__: if that doesnt work you could try a reboot, i bet that would fix it. | 06:37 |
| joe__663 | then i had to run 'apt-get purge nvidia-current' but that didn't help. i can't get beyond very low resolution of 640x840 | 06:37 |

| Flaffen | and i get rid of that? | 06:39 |
| jeep | joe__663: show me lspci in pastebin | 06:40 |
| jeep | Flaffen: you dont need nvidia drivers because you dont have a nvidia graphics card | 06:40 |

| joe__663 | 3 of them running linux | 06:42 |
| jeep | joe__663: the trick for you i think is to blacklist nouveau modules after installing nvidia-current | 06:43 |
| joe__663 | how do i do that jeep? | 06:44 |

| Guest70424 | my harddrive is fried but i was able to bring up ubuntu by putting it on an external hard drive... now i would like to put everything on that external onto a 16 gb thumb drive... any suggestions? is this possible? | 07:08 |
| jeep | unetbootin is a linux program as well as other inferior os's | 07:08 |
| zombii | im having a weird problem. every linux disrto i try to install fails, even when using a known good disk. i've even tried on a system that loves linux | 07:08 |
| Flaffen | zombii, your hd aint frozen right? | 07:09 |
| zombii | there is no hd, installing to usb | 07:09 |
| Flaffen | ok | 07:09 |
| zombii | tried diff usb devices | 07:09 |
| morgan | how else can something be mount if its not in fstab? | 07:09 |
| Flaffen | cuz bios might set em on freeze, and u can work around if you put to sleep and wake up again | 07:10 |
| jeep | morgan: by doing it manually .. typing the commands | 07:10 |
| Cell | why cant I access /dev/sdb1 | 07:10 |
| Cell | if its not a directory what is it | 07:10 |
| morgan | jeep, i manually unmount it and it remounts by itself ;\ | 07:10 |
| adie | I accidentally didn't specify where ubuntu should install, and it wiped my NTFS harddrive with EXT4 and installed on it. how should I attempt to recover? | 07:10 |
| hackeridis | hi all i would like to form you all that there is a new virus its called BackDoor.Wirenet.1 | 07:10 |
| herctor | too simple | 07:11 |
| Flaffen | adie, i think reformatting would do it, just formatting wont wipe data i think, it just tells some bootsector what kinda system stuff should be stored in that part | 07:11 |
| jeep | adie: you win for biggest screw up of the day | 07:11 |
| zombii | adie, stop useing the hard drive immediately | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Cell: no its a block device | 07:12 |
| hackeridis | here is the site with the info it is easy to block just get a firewall and block address 212.7.208.65 | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Cell: it needs mounting | 07:12 |
| adie | jeep, I am not using the drive right now | 07:12 |
| Cell | so I cant write to it directly using dd? | 07:12 |
| adie | I went back and installed ubuntu into the PROPER location | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: use your backup | 07:12 |
| hackeridis | http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2012/08/31/new-trojan-backdoor-malware-targets-mac-os-x-and-linux-steals-passwords-and-keystrokes/ | 07:12 |
| Cell | yet when I try to write to /media/USBDEVICE it says it's a directory and I can't dd to that? | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Cell: yes you can use dd on block devices if you wish, if you want to access the files, you need to mount it | 07:12 |
| zombii | adie, plug that drive into a windblows computer & run pandora recovery or icare recovery | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: you may be able to use foremost too. Your backups will be the ideal way | 07:13 |
| adie | :/ | 07:13 |
| Cell | Oh I see, I had to use sudo to do it | 07:13 |
| adie | ActionParsnip, idk what you mean | 07:13 |
| herctor | su | 07:13 |
| adie | I swear it asked me if I wanted to overwrite my windows/ubuntu, but it didn't go to the right drive :| | 07:14 |
| adie | I wanted it to overwrite my ubuntu install, but it ate my backup drive | 07:14 |
| hackeridis | NEW VIRUS FOR LINUX AND MAC IT IS A KEY LOGGER BE CAREFUL | 07:14 |
| nyRednek | hackeridis: which one this time? | 07:14 |
| zombii | i never trust the installer. always do the partioting in live mode first b4 running setup | 07:14 |
| hackeridis | BackDoor.Wirenet.1 | 07:15 |
| nyRednek | hackeridis: oh, knew about it a month ago | 07:15 |
| hackeridis | to stop it just get a firewall | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: your user data can be restored from your regular backup,there is an app called foremost which may help | 07:15 |
| Tudor_ | :) | 07:15 |
| hackeridis | and block address 212.7.208.65 | 07:15 |
| adie | this isn't userdata or backup data | 07:15 |
| Tudor_ | hello | 07:16 |
| hackeridis | just want to help | 07:16 |
| zombii | adie, stop useing the hard drive immediately | 07:16 |
| Guest70424 | my harddrive is fried but i was able to run ubuntu by putting it on an external hard drive... now i would like to put everything on that external onto a 16 gb thumb drive... any suggestions? | 07:16 |
| zombii | adie, plug that drive into a windblows computer & run pandora recovery or icare recovery | 07:16 |
| adie | this was an NTFS drive/partition full of music and pictures | 07:16 |
| nyRednek | hackeridis: if you know your linux, you won't run the worm in the first place...it's an intelligence gathering bot | 07:16 |
| adie | .< | 07:16 |
| namoamitabuddha | Who suffered from wirenet? | 07:16 |
| namoamitabuddha | I think it is just an ad. | 07:16 |
| Tudor_ | can someone help me in a ubuntu matter ? | 07:16 |
| hackeridis | maybe you know about it but others may not | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: seems to be a keyloger, not a virus.... | 07:16 |
| nyRednek | again, it's a WORM, not a virus | 07:17 |
| zombii | guest, install linux onto the flash drive. then boot using a live disk and copy the drive to the flashdrive | 07:17 |
| nyRednek | it spreads when someone opens a file | 07:17 |
| namoamitabuddha | wirenet is just a proprietary software. | 07:17 |
| hackeridis | well sorry to say i am new to linux but already fixed a bug with 12.04 | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: do you have a backup? | 07:17 |
| adie | ActionParsnip, no :/ | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: why not? Is the data not important to you? | 07:17 |
| hackeridis | i know but then it tries to send to the address 212.7.208.65 | 07:18 |
| adie | was gunna, then I couldn't afford it | 07:18 |
| nyRednek | in other words, don't stupidly open everything you see online, and you won't bore mossad with your personal data | 07:18 |
| samir | hi !! everyone | 07:18 |
| nyRednek | it's designed to gather intelligence, not take over people's machines | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: but it doesn't perpetuate, does it. It just lands on the system and sends the data home...right? | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: can you afford to lose the data though? | 07:19 |
| SpaceTravel_ | hey guys !! | 07:19 |
| hackeridis | no but a lot of people do online banking that i have never trusted | 07:19 |
| samir | i'm having lotle prob with cinamon | 07:19 |
| zombii | hey man not every one can afford all this shit | 07:19 |
| adie | ActionParsnip, yes | 07:19 |
| hackeridis | yes | 07:19 |
| samir | anyone there ? | 07:19 |
| adie | still wana recover as muhc as I can tho :\ | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: if it doesn't duplicate itself, its not a virus :) | 07:19 |
| zombii | he asked for help. you dont need to be a disk | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: then just reinstall the OS and you are ok | 07:20 |
| SpaceTravel_ | i just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a lapop and god it works slow ...any ideas why ? | 07:20 |
| adie | ActionParsnip, it's not an OS | 07:20 |
| adie | it's 320gb of data | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: if the data is disposable why the worry | 07:20 |
| hackeridis | it just hides and keylogs plus it opens a backdoor | 07:20 |
| nyRednek | hackeridis: this worm belongs to a joint task force created from mossad and nsa analysts, they aren't after your financial info. they're after syrian and persian state secrets | 07:20 |
| adie | because it took years to collect :\ | 07:20 |
| hackeridis | its a trojan | 07:20 |
| ActionParsnip | adie: then you should backup.....you have learned the value of backup the hardest way possible | 07:21 |
| zombii | adie, plug the drive into a windows pc and run pandora recovery | 07:21 |
| samir | pob. with cinnamon | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: yes, but not a virus | 07:21 |

| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: a software program capable of reproducing itself | 07:22 |
| zombii | worm spreads on its own, virus requires user interaction. | 07:22 |
| hackeridis | just reading your link hold on | 07:22 |
| nyRednek | zombii: other way around | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus again: A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: its not a virus, if the software read your email contacts and forwarded itself, then it is a virus | 07:23 |
| nyRednek | a trojan horse is a form of a worm | 07:23 |
| zombii | a virus replicates, but it requires a user to interact with it, where as a worm can infect a system on its own | 07:23 |
| nyRednek | zombii: no, it doesn't | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hackeridis: just because a software does something bad to your OS does not make it a virus | 07:23 |
| nyRednek | zombii: you got it backwards | 07:23 |
| zombii | thats why it is called a worm. it worms its way through your network all by itelsef | 07:24 |
| nyRednek | zombii: your insistence doesn't make you less wrong | 07:24 |
| zombii | and because you read it on wikipedia, doesnt mean your right :P | 07:25 |
| tsimpson | discussion of what is and is not a virus/trojan/worm is more appropriate in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:25 |
| hackeridis | people stop playing with the words have you protected your selfs from the virus | 07:25 |
| tsimpson | keep on topic please | 07:25 |
| nyRednek | zombii: i'm not the one who pulled up a wiki reference | 07:25 |
| namoamitabuddha | hackeridis: I think it's just a advertisement from Dr.Web. | 07:26 |
| nyRednek | tsimpson: agreed | 07:26 |
| namoamitabuddha | hackeridis: *an | 07:26 |

| zombii | so can i get some support for my ubuntu 12.04 or 10.10? | 07:27 |
| nyRednek | 10.10 is no longer supported | 07:28 |
| nyRednek | but 12.04 is, what's your 12.04 issue? | 07:28 |
| zombii | i am trying to install to a flash drive but the installer keeps crashing without any verbose reasoning. this last time it crashed @ installing language packsa' | 07:29 |

| Guest70424 | my harddrive is fried but i was able to bring up ubuntu by putting it on an external hard drive... now i would like to put everything on that external onto a 16 gb thumb drive... any suggestions? | 07:30 |
| zombii | i have tried different ISOs, different disks, different flash drives (source and destination) and even tried from a diff laptop (my problem is, i have 2 laptops and no hard drives, but plentry of linux CDs, DVDs, and thumbdrives) | 07:30 |
| zombii | no i have not | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | zombii: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 07:31 |
| zombii | i have no working computer beyong canceling linux install and running live | 07:31 |
| noskcaj | the internet could be the problem but its unlikely | 07:31 |
| noskcaj | so i reckon try that | 07:31 |
| nyRednek | zombii: i'd recommend what noskcaj recommended, as well as verify the md5sum on your iso | 07:32 |
| zombii | i know these disks and thumbdrives with linux are good. i use them. some get used almost daily, some have only been used once. they all worked | 07:32 |
| namoamitabuddha | zombii: The installation process crashed? | 07:32 |
| zombii | i can create a linux swap partition and i think this thumbdrive has persistence. what should i download? | 07:33 |
| zombii | yes. installation process crashes. usually near the end of setup, this last time @ language packs | 07:33 |
| h22turbo | zombii>> ubuntu? since you are in the ubuntu channel.... | 07:33 |

| namoamitabuddha | h22turbo: Thanks. | 07:37 |
| namoamitabuddha | zombii: What? | 07:37 |
| zombii | sorry, i just thought your suggestion was for me to use wine | 07:37 |
| zombii | my bad | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | h22turbo: you can change the font for the apps using ubuntu tweak. I suggest you try changing the font hinting, should help | 07:38 |
| S1ndr0m | Salut tuturor | 07:38 |
| namoamitabuddha | zombii: No. I know your problem is about the installation process of Ubuntu. | 07:39 |
| h22turbo | ActionParsnip>> what are you talking about? | 07:39 |
| no-n | how do permissions work with ext4 drives/partitions that don't belong to the operating system? does the root of a new system have full charge over it if you take it from one computer/install to another? | 07:39 |
| zombii | no you will be locked out | 07:39 |
| S1ndr0m | what? | 07:40 |
| S1ndr0m | who create a chat? | 07:40 |
| no-n | how do you make an ext4 "multi-system friendly"? | 07:40 |
| namoamitabuddha | h22turbo: Maybe he should have spoken to me. | 07:40 |
| TUX_73 | hi | 07:40 |
| S1ndr0m | yes | 07:40 |
| S1ndr0m | hi | 07:40 |
| zombii | change the permissions to 1000? | 07:40 |
| S1ndr0m | no | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | h22turbo: weren't you moaning about the font in the OS... | 07:41 |
| namoamitabuddha | no-n: It's not "multi-system friendly", at least, no compatiblity with Windows. | 07:41 |
| h22turbo | ActionParsnip>> sure wasnt... | 07:41 |
| no-n | well, I mean with other linux systems | 07:41 |
| namoamitabuddha | Ah, it's okay. | 07:41 |
| S1ndr0m | wazzup all ? | 07:41 |
| zombii | just change the modify permissions lower and remove all denies | 07:41 |
| no-n | say if I wanted a partition to put stuff on | 07:41 |
| no-n | that would stay there across different os intsalls | 07:42 |
| zombii | that wouldnt be an issue | 07:42 |
| namoamitabuddha | You meant that install different distros on the same partition? | 07:42 |
| namoamitabuddha | ActionParsnip: No, but I was asking about that, but not the font for OS. It's the font in wine. | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !font | 07:43 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 07:43 |

| ActionParsnip | no-n: sure, just make a partition for user data and put everything there, it will be accessible by all :) | 07:45 |
| namoamitabuddha | ActionParsnip: Are you sure that the font in my image is not anti-aliased? I cannot make sure, but I enabled fontsmooth=rgb. | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | no-n: if you use Windows, make itr NTFS and Windows can join the fun | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | namoamitabuddha: there appears to be some reg hacks | 07:46 |
| zombii | or hfs+ | 07:46 |

| ActionParsnip | namoamitabuddha: theer is even a handy script... | 07:46 |
| ewaters64 | itachi | 07:46 |
| zombii | but ext4 is nice and fast with nonrepudiation | 07:46 |
| namoamitabuddha | ActionParsnip: It's packaged in winetrick. | 07:46 |
| namoamitabuddha | zombii: Ah? Windows supports for hfs? | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | namoamitabuddha: no idea, not used hfs | 07:47 |
| zombii | i say you wont have trouble if it is a seperate partition by it's self with no OS. if it does present issues, log in under the owner and lower the value to something less restrictive | 07:47 |
| no-n | ActionParsnip, no windows, I want ext4 :P is there some special trick to "make it for user data"? | 07:48 |
| no-n | also, I want to make it encrypted | 07:48 |
| zombii | lol | 07:49 |
| zombii | that changes things a lil | 07:49 |
| zombii | u need a self signed cert for that and share it to all OS users | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | no-n: no, just mount it with default options in /etc/fstab and it will be accessible | 07:49 |

| leotr | ActionParsnip, yes | 08:20 |
| bekks | userdb: And why is that important? :) | 08:20 |
| Guest5585 | Anyway, I just installed ubuntu, and I have two monitors. I was able to see both displays after before I installed the nvidia drivers, but now I can only see one screen when I go into Displays under settings. | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | userdb: scribus maybe... | 08:20 |
| leotr | there were 2 drivers and i tried both of thee | 08:20 |

| ActionParsnip | zombii: my 6150 runs Ubuntu just fine | 08:21 |
| zombii | wasnt made in the late 90s | 08:21 |
| bekks | zombii: Sure. Why would that not be fast enough, technically. Thats nonsense :) | 08:21 |
| userdb | bekks: because Okular is for kde | 08:22 |
| moah | hello #ubuntu, maybe someone can help me with a problem: I have 12.04 installed on my notebook, and there is a noticeable and very annoying display lag in terminals, sometimes the terminal needs a few seconds to update, sometimes only parts of the terminals update and some line go missing, what might be causing this? | 08:22 |
| bekks | userdb: And why is that important? okular runs fine on gnome, after just installing it. | 08:22 |
| zombii | i must be unaware that they have another card using the same name | 08:22 |

| tsimpson | you can't mount a directory, if you need write access you need to mount the partition as rw | 09:38 |

| morgan | okay I confused myself... how can I hide the devices in Nautilus, not unity lol | 09:42 |
| morgan | or is there something better than Nautilus? | 09:42 |
| stephan_arch2 | hey guys, does anyone know if there is a working playmouth-manager(GUI)? | 09:43 |
| hex20dec | Hey people, question. How would I view the \r or \n in text files where I execute the command 'echo hello >> file.txt'? | 09:43 |
| stephan_arch2 | morgan, maybe spacefm is something for you, very editable :) | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan: better is an opinion, it is never concrete | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan: I like pcmanfm :) | 09:44 |
| aakram | hello everyone! | 09:44 |
| stephan_arch2 | ActionParsnip, pacmanfm is still supported? | 09:44 |
| cvr | morgan: just install mc and be done with it | 09:44 |
| smartboyhw | Hi aakram | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | stephan_arch2: its the default file manager in Lubuntu...so yes | 09:44 |
| Guest29303 | Recomend linux firewall with gui. Does iptables have gui ? | 09:44 |
| smartboyhw | ActionParsnip is too busy:) | 09:44 |
| aakram | I have just setup a new PC and I am able to install ubuntu, but not run it. I was wondering if someone is able to help? | 09:45 |
| smartboyhw | aakram: Why? | 09:45 |
| aakram | hi smartboyhw! | 09:45 |
| morgan | cvr, midnight commander? | 09:45 |
| theadmin | Guest29303: Install "gufw", it's a frontend to UFW, which is a frontend to iptables | 09:45 |
| jakeR333 | hi | 09:46 |
| cvr | morgan: yeh | 09:46 |
| jakeR333 | i come in peace! | 09:46 |
| aakram | well, the new system has a UEFI bios, an SSD primary drive, and a RAID 1 secondary drive array. Ubuntu, CentOS, or Fedora all install OK, but fail the same way to boot. Even the live versions of these OSs fail to boot. | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | Guest29303 | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Guest29303: 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. | 09:46 |
| theadmin | aakram: EFI requires a special GRUB version | 09:46 |
| aakram | theadmin, thanks. But even for a Live OS? | 09:47 |
| theadmin | aakram: In Ubuntu, the package is called "grub-efi". Follow the command-line way as described in the !recovergrub factoid, but apt-get install grub-efi first. | 09:47 |
| marcappuccino | aakram did you add the 1mb biosgrub parttion? | 09:47 |
| smartboyhw | !efi | 09:47 |
| marcappuccino | for gpt tables | 09:47 |
| theadmin | aakram: I'm not sure what can be the problem with live boot though | 09:47 |
| smartboyhw | !uefi | 09:47 |
| theadmin | !botabuse > smartboyhw | 09:47 |
| ubottu | smartboyhw, please see my private message | 09:47 |
| aakram | marcapuccino, no but thanks for the tip. I will look into it | 09:47 |
| smartboyhw | ... | 09:48 |
| marcappuccino | it is prompted to add it on ubuntu 12.04 installation if it is not added already - it allows the bios to recognise the mbr in the gpt table | 09:48 |
| aakram | Will a Live OS fail the same way? When I say 'fail', what happens is that the OS loads for a while as it would normally do and then stops loading. The screen stays black and I never see the login msg | 09:49 |
| marcappuccino | aakram press esc and you can see the logs on the splash screen | 09:49 |
| aakram | I tried but there's nothing to be seen. screen stays black | 09:49 |
| marcappuccino | hmm | 09:50 |
| marcappuccino | system specs? | 09:50 |
| jakeR333 | can i upgrade my old ubuntu without losing all my programs and settings ? | 09:50 |
| marcappuccino | update-manager -d | 09:50 |
| aakram | smartboyhw: !uefi? | 09:50 |
| theadmin | jakeR333: Yes, run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" or "gksudo update-manager -d" | 09:50 |
| theadmin | aakram: (s)he was playing with ubottu, unfortunately she doesn't have a factoid on UEFI | 09:51 |
| aakram | oh ok | 09:51 |
| marcappuccino | bye everyone | 09:51 |
| smartboyhw | theadmin: I am not trying to play with it | 09:51 |
| smartboyhw | I just thought there is supposed to be a UEFI factoid | 09:51 |
| aakram | bye marcapuccino. thanks for the help | 09:51 |
| Pikmin | hi everyone, can i get some help with libvirt and bridged networks? just need to clarify something | 09:51 |
| theadmin | smartboyhw: Sorry, poor choice of words. Please PM the bot the next time you want to check whether there is a factoid of something (especially if you fail at first try), though. | 09:52 |
| n2i | Oh, thanks! | 09:53 |
| smartboyhw | OH OK | 09:54 |
| aakram | so you guys reckon this is definitely a uefi/Grub issue? | 09:54 |
| smartboyhw | aakram: Yes | 09:54 |
| aakram | and same with a live OS? | 09:54 |
| aakram | I read that a live OS, booting off a cd would be fine | 09:54 |
| theadmin | aakram: Well, they use GRUB on LiveCDs, although it's weird, since most people are able to live-boot on EFI | 09:54 |
| morgan | mmmmm those file managers all suck lol | 09:55 |
| aakram | cheers everyone. I will give this another go. | 09:55 |
| aakram | bye | 09:55 |
| theadmin | Ok this is weird, Firefox just randomly hung | 09:56 |
| zombii | whats weird about that? | 09:57 |
| Michelle_ | someone can tell me fast what grub menu is used for? | 09:57 |
| theadmin | Michelle_: Um, booting into different OS'es/kernels | 09:57 |
| anti-freeze | Hey guys, does disk encryption that comes with Ubuntu 12.10 slow the system down? | 09:57 |
| Michelle_ | and if i wanna boot normal to ubuntu? | 09:58 |
| sogeking99 | hey guys, can anyone tell me how to install adobe air on ubuntu 12.04 64bit | 09:58 |
| theadmin | Michelle_: Then you can avoid the grub menu by setting your boot timeout to 0 | 09:58 |
| zombii | encryption will always add extra workload to the CPU | 09:58 |
| Michelle_ | ok :) | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | anti-freeze: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Quantal support please | 09:58 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: Unfortunately, Adobe have killed Air on Linux | 09:58 |
| zombii | yeah | 09:59 |
| zombii | some one was trying with wine. dont know if it worked | 09:59 |
| sogeking99 | theadmin, oh i see. I bought mcpixel which has a linux version, but it needs adobe air? | 09:59 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: There still are some old versions on adobe's website, eh, let me find it | 10:00 |
| falco_ | Hi my wifi at home is fast, but when i visit my dad it is super slow, i disabled ipv6 but it remains slow. Can I fix this somehow? | 10:00 |
| zombii | is it slow on dad's com as well? | 10:01 |
| marcappuccino | your dad has different wifi? | 10:01 |
| zombii | computer* | 10:01 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin - this is the last AIR version which had Linux support. | 10:01 |
| falco_ | only on my laptop it is | 10:01 |
| sogeking99 | theadmin, okay thanks, how do i install the .bin? | 10:01 |
| zombii | what router? | 10:01 |
| haneluya | Does anyone know how to configure my fingerprint scanner on my laptop? It seems useless in ubuntu. Which packages do I need to install? I tried to google it, and found "thinkfinger-tools", but I can't apt-get it. Any solution? | 10:01 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: Make it executable and run it (something along the lines of "chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin" when you cd to the directory it's located in | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sogeking99: mark it as executable then run it with sudo | 10:02 |
| janek21 | hey | 10:04 |
| sogeking99 | theadmin, ActionParsnip: I got an error Adobe AIR could not be installed. 'Install either Gnome Keyring or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR.' | 10:04 |
| sogeking99 | but I am on unity | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sogeking99: then install it :) | 10:04 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: That's weird since at least one of those should come with Ubuntu. | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sogeking99: Unity is not a replacement for Gnome | 10:04 |
| theadmin | sogeking99: (Unity is just a shell for GNOME by the way) | 10:04 |
| sogeking99 | oh ok | 10:05 |
| falco_ | its a different router | 10:05 |
| falco_ | when I had dual boot on my laptop and I logged in on windows it worked, but now i only have ubuntu on it | 10:05 |
| falco_ | I'm connected to my dad's network atm with a lan-cable | 10:05 |
| zombii | no i mean what kind of router is that? (make and model) | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | falco_: what ethernet chip are you using? Does the interface have an IP? Can you ping the router's internal IP? | 10:05 |
| sogeking99 | searching gnome keyring on the software centre shows 'keyring access' which is installed | 10:06 |
| Michelle_ | i get black screen when choosing run ubuntu live on grub menu | 10:06 |
| zombii | by slow im assumeing he has connectivity | 10:06 |
| falco_ | the router is belkin N+ | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | falco_: doesn't matter what the router is | 10:07 |
| zombii | patiently wait. sometimes live OS takes a while to load and doesnt give a loading screen. but then again the ISO could have been bad, or the tool used to make the disk might have f(*^^d up | 10:07 |
| zombii | if i am going to help him, it would be useful to know what router it is >_< | 10:08 |
| sogeking99 | Why do Adobe have to make things difficult for Linux users | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | sogeking99: ask them | 10:08 |
| fcomputer | hi all :) | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | zombii: it will obey defacto standards, so you only need to worry about what the network link is. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | falco_: you say yu are conencting with the ethernet...what ethernet chip are you using? | 10:09 |
| zombii | oh my god nevermind fuck THE WORLD IM OUT | 10:09 |
| Calinou | using xubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit. why am I forced to use 50hz 1440x900 when I can use 60hz 1440x900? using proprietary nvidia driver | 10:09 |
| Calinou | 32 bit didn't do that | 10:09 |
| falco_ | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192409/ | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | falco_: your wifi has an IP...is that from the router in question? | 10:13 |
| Calinou | also, how can I change screen brightness on xubuntu? looks like I can't do that | 10:13 |

| ActionParsnip | falcogw: yeah, are your wifi adapter has an IP, is that from the router in question? | 10:14 |
| falcogw | yes that is the router in question | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | falcogw: but you get no web access? | 10:15 |
| falcogw | ActionParsnip: now I'm not on wifi, but when I'm on wifi I do have web-access, but it's extremely slow | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | falcogw: so you want to use the wired? | 10:16 |
| falcogw | ActionParsnip: no I would like to use the wireless, now I'm on the wired because wireless is too slow | 10:17 |
| falcogw | at home i got a different router but from the same brand (belkin) | 10:17 |
| falcogw | ActionParsnip: iwconfig output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192427/ | 10:22 |
| falcogw | it says Mode:Managed Access Point is that correct? | 10:23 |

| gogeta | falcogw: if you whant a acess point | 10:24 |

| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: try the boot option: nomodeset | 10:35 |

| Pazzie | @bekks and does ubuntu see it automaticly? | 10:37 |
| === minutemaid1986 is now known as AlexDextrose | ||

| AlexDextrose | can somebody give me a link to show supported hardware? | 10:38 |
| gogeta | Michelle_: if you still don't see anything you will need to go into bash and install your video driver | 10:38 |

| ActionParsnip | tryingUbuntu: or from the last OS you used it in? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tryingUbuntu: or did you just rip it out with no software interaction? | 10:42 |
| tryingUbuntu | ActionParsnip Yes windows, no linux.. Dont know how to "saftley" | 10:42 |
| tryingUbuntu | I get No jukeboxes found on USB bus in gnomade2 | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tryingUbuntu: it will be in the unity bar, or you can use CLI, sounds like the device is locked due to not being released. Try rebooting the device | 10:43 |

| Konigsberg7 | theres a lot of ways to do it | 10:55 |
| Konigsberg7 | and mp3 is bad quality | 10:55 |

| Pikmin | if i wanted to backup my linux partition, to be bootable and all, would i use the dd command? | 11:05 |
| Pazzie | bekks: i cannot do anything with it, it has a lock symbol not a key symbol (sorry dont know how better to explain it) | 11:07 |
| Pazzie | bekks: the filesystem is lvm2 pv | 11:07 |
| c14m0 | //mode $cl4m0 +x | 11:07 |
| wolfric | so at the moment, the software center and the likes seem to be the only tools that will install multiple things by queuing them. this isn't possible as far as i know with apt-get/aptitude. are there any commandline tools that will queue packages to install? | 11:07 |
| wolfric | or remove | 11:07 |
| bekks | Pazzie: lvm pv is not a filesystem, but a partition type. | 11:10 |
| Pazzie | bekks: okay, i pretty new to linux (ubuntu) so i was trying to give as much information as possible | 11:11 |
| Guest14042 | Where i can change my DNS server? in /etc/resolv.conf is my localhost ... | 11:11 |
| bekks | Pazzie: You have to extend the physical volume (pv) for lvm then, then extend the volume group (vg), then extend the volume and then resize the filesystem inside the volume. | 11:11 |

| Pazzie | bekks: i did that the /dev/sda says its 10GB (that is correct because it was 5) /dev/sda2 (extend partition) i resize from 5 to 10GB but now i want to resize the /dev/sda5 and that dont work, i still have the lock symbol the only thing i can do is change the flag | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:15 |
| Michelle_ | how do i do that? | 11:15 |
| Michelle_ | or i'll use google.... :P | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest14042: you can use /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail to add the nameserver you want to use. Add a line like: nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: without MD5 testing, you have no real way of knowing the data you downloaded is complete or consistent | 11:16 |

| abraham_ | How do I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS? | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | same as you update normally | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | !version | 11:41 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 11:41 |
| abraham_ | That was not working | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | if you have done a update/upgrade recently you most likely are using 12.04.1 | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:41 |
| abraham_ | From the terminal? | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | use any of the update tools... | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | terminalk is easiest to type. ;) | 11:42 |
| Onlyodin | ...or alt-f2 | 11:42 |
| Dynamit | in apt-get you have a do-releasupgrade I'm pretty sure I have spell it some parts wrong | 11:43 |
| abraham_ | Once again,not working | 11:43 |

| Dynamit | I run webmin on 12.04.1 LTS and it's working for me | 11:49 |

| === alexander is now known as Guest21871 | ||
| zykotick9 | Jonii: $ at the prompt means you are a regular users, while # means root (something you shouldn't see in ubuntu) | 11:54 |
| Jonii | zykotick9: yeah | 11:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Eagleman best way to find out, is by using it | 11:55 |
| iceroot | Eagleman: because webmin is not able to handle ubuntu package configuration | 11:55 |
| Eagleman | well i dont have an option so i will :P | 11:55 |
| iceroot | Eagleman: but the best is ssh + the editor of your choice + your brain instead of a webgui to manage a server | 11:55 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: +1 | 11:55 |
| noev | Jonnii: /home/user/Downloads/xx.bin tells me no such file or directory am I still not getting it ? | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | #1 reson zentyal is better then webmin.. its officialy supported here. | 11:56 |
| Eagleman | iceroot i know how to use all of that | 11:56 |
| iceroot | Eagleman: then use ssh + editor and dont use the webgui | 11:56 |
| Dynamit | iceroot: 1+ but some are too lazy or have others that need to be able to configure there part | 11:56 |
| hfic | how do I list groups? | 11:56 |
| Eagleman | it is usefull to have in some situations | 11:56 |
| iceroot | Dynamit: others? | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | noev: cd to the directory, ls -l xx.bin and look at the ownership/permissions, then file xx.bin and see what kind of file it is. | 11:56 |
| jrib | hfic: groups your user is in or all groups? | 11:56 |
| tomreyn | hfic: getent group | 11:56 |
| iceroot | Dynamit: like people hoe dont know what they are doing? | 11:56 |
| iceroot | Dynamit: i guess you see the mistake | 11:57 |
| hfic | jrib, both if you gottem | 11:57 |
| Eagleman | Well if we all know everything there would not be a #ubuntu channel... | 11:57 |
| jrib | hfic: tomreyn's command for all groups. Just « groups » for groups your user is in | 11:57 |
| Dynamit | iceroot: like people that have not so big computer habbit, let's say you hosts webserver for others to | 11:57 |
| iceroot | Dynamit: never ever in your whole life manage a public server if you dont know what you are doing | 11:58 |
| zykotick9 | noev: you might want to see if it's a 32bit binary on a 64bit OS. "file xx.bin" and check for 32bit elf, and use "uname -m" to see if you are running 64bit OS - it could also give you the "no such" error | 11:58 |
| beboj | guys can you recommend some internal pci e modem card with 4g lte under ubuntu ??? | 11:58 |
| iceroot | Dynamit: that should only people do which know what they are doing and they dont need a webgui | 11:58 |
| Eagleman | You will never leaarn it if you never do it... | 11:58 |
| Dynamit | not the host | 11:58 |
| Dynamit | baaa | 11:58 |
| iceroot | Eagleman: but please dont learn on a public server | 11:58 |

| mathi | tomreyn, to the interface | 12:04 |
| mathi | tomreyn, on the left I have my opened applications | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | mathi: i don't have it running here now but you should be able to set this up in preferences -> appearance | 12:04 |
| Eagleman | hmm | 12:04 |
| Eagleman | ebox was included 133 packages and was around 100mb large | 12:05 |
| Eagleman | was included... | 12:05 |
| mathi | tomreyn, right. strange, auto-hide was already off, I had to put on and off again to make it off :| | 12:05 |
| tomreyn | Eagleman: as the name says, 'ebox' is a transition package. | 12:06 |
| tomreyn | mathi: that's special. normally in IT, it's the other way around ;-) | 12:06 |
| zaggynl | hi, ubuntu 12.04 gets stuck at boot, hub 2-1 port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling has shown up twice now, any clues what's happening? | 12:06 |
| mathi | tomreyn, :)) I also thinks these icons are too big, do you know how to make them smaller?? | 12:07 |
| Eagleman | During the installation you will be asked to supply a password for the ebox user. After installing eBox the web interface can be accessed from: https://yourserver/ebox. | 12:07 |
| Eagleman | That did not happen | 12:07 |
| MrNaz | if i have a script that contains a sequence of commands, all of which require sudo privs, is there a way to ensure that the whole script gets sudo and i wont get the pass prompt againm, even if the script takes a long time to execute? | 12:08 |
| mathi | I googled, seems i need to isntall an application | 12:08 |
| tomreyn | zaggynl: there's something wrong with a USB device you have attached. unplug them one by one (or all for startters, then re-plug them one by one and reboot each time) to single out the problematic device. | 12:08 |
| tomreyn | zaggynl: this could be due to lack of power on the USB hub you have there. | 12:08 |
| jrib | MrNaz: run: sudo the_script I suppose | 12:08 |
| tomreyn | mathi: personally i consider the unity interface to be a fatal mistake, so i haven't been using it lately and don't know much about whether such options are now available. they wer enot on the first release (unless when you edited configuration files/ databases). | 12:09 |
| zaggynl | thanks tomreyn | 12:10 |
| zaggynl | its a wireless usb mouse plug | 12:10 |
| mathi | tomreyn, what are you using then? | 12:10 |
| zaggynl | it does work a second boot | 12:10 |
| rymate1234 | I like unity IMO | 12:10 |
| tomreyn | mathi: xubuntu, so xfwm and xfce | 12:10 |
| rymate1234 | However I still prefer MATE (fork fork of gnome 2) | 12:10 |
| mathi | tomreyn, ah, I didn't know I could isntall other interfaces :(((((, I can still switch ??? | 12:11 |
| tomreyn | zaggynl: do you have an usb extender or a monitor which works as a usb hub? | 12:11 |
| rymate1234 | mathi, you can install them from the ubuntu software centre, then choose it at logj by clicking the cog | 12:11 |
| tomreyn | mathi: yes you can always switch. you can also install multiple and switch between them by logging off and on again | 12:12 |
| rymate1234 | *login | 12:12 |
| mathi | thnk you i'll try:) | 12:12 |
| tomreyn | mathi: xubuntu-desktop would be the package to install if you want the xubuntu interface in addition to unity | 12:12 |
| bekks | Pazzie: You have to start a livecd, and use a terminal from the livecd. Before, you have to get familiar with the commands pvresize, vgextend, lvresize, and the command to resize your filesystem. AND you have to create a complete backup of your computer. | 12:12 |
| leotr | hi! i have a problem. mouse poiter doesn't react immediately after i move mouse (i have a lag and it's not comfortable), the same is about keyboard - when i start typing fast some letters are not typed :( | 12:13 |
| mathi | tomreyn, is it more light ? cause unity is a bit slow | 12:13 |
| tomreyn | yes mathi. if unity is slow then unity2d but you like it generally then unity2d would be a good compromise | 12:13 |
| Eagleman | I cant even login in ebox | 12:14 |
| tomreyn | leotr: how are they powered? | 12:14 |
| Eagleman | using the username ebox and changed his password with passwd | 12:14 |
| leotr | tomreyn: both are usb | 12:14 |
| tomreyn | leotr: so not wireless? | 12:14 |
| tomreyn | leotr: i.e. there are no batteires in your mouse or keyboard? | 12:15 |
| leotr | tomreyn: mouse is wireless but i'm sure battery is ok, because this problem started after i installed new videocard geforce 210 | 12:15 |
| leotr | before it i had integrated ati videocard | 12:16 |
| tomreyn | leotr: it's good you provided this additional information. so you may have a driver issue related to the geforce 210 | 12:17 |

| ActionParsnip | hfic: is there a possibility to use sftp? | 12:19 |
| Costeelation | what is the command for reinstall grub2? :) | 12:19 |
| Pazzie | bekks: how can i access my local volume through the live cd? | 12:19 |
| Costeelation | a recheck | 12:19 |
| tomreyn | hfic: vsftpd is having trouble to start. try starting it manually, running it in the foreground, and inspect its log files. | 12:19 |
| Pazzie | bekks: i opend the terminal, but it seems to be the filesystem from the live cd | 12:20 |
| hfic | ActionParsnip, never tried that program | 12:20 |
| tomreyn | Pazzie: by "local volume" you mean existing partitions on your hard disk drive? | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Costeelation: sudo apt-get --reinstall grub-common grub-pc grub2-common | 12:20 |
| Pazzie | tomreyn: yes | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | hfic: its secure, nautilus can connect to it easily as well | 12:20 |
| SpecialEd | Does anyone know hot to force Ubuntu 12.04 from localtime to UTC using terminal? | 12:20 |
| hfic | tomreyn, what do you mean manually? I'm doing sudo service vsftpd restart. | 12:21 |
| tomreyn | Pazzie: how were those partitions created? on ubuntu? | 12:21 |
| SpecialEd | its a vps | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hfic: its especially good if you want access over WAN as it is secure unlike FTP | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | !tzdata | SpecialEd | 12:21 |
| hfic | ActionParsnip, Is it a protocol as in secure ftp , or is it actually a ftp server? | 12:22 |
| Pazzie | tomreyn: the first disk i created with ubuntu and the other disks i partitioned with webmin | 12:22 |
| Costeelation | ActionParsnip, this command reinstall grub in my actual partition? | 12:22 |
| tomreyn | hfic: i'm suggesting that you read "man vsftpd" and "which vsftpd" and possibly "vsftpd --help" and then run vsftpd bypassing the init scripts | 12:22 |
| leotr | tomreyn: http://dpaste.com/798159/ here is my dmesg. there is something related to nvidia. | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hfic: if you install openssh-server you get an SFTP server by default. It is secure ftp | 12:22 |

| Michelle_ | ActionParsnip: hi again, sorry if i'm annoying but i redownloaded iso and it's still doesn't match the hash on the site? the hash i get is MD5 (ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) = 06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d | 12:24 |
| zykotick9 | Michelle_: consider using a torrent, it has error correction | 12:24 |
| Costeelation | ActionParsnip, i install grub in sda5, then sudo grub-install /dev/sda5 is correct? | 12:24 |

| leotr | tomreyn, http://dpaste.com/798160/ this is my syslog | grep nv | 12:26 |
| bekks | Pazzie: Again: you CANNOT resize LVM using gparted. | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | Pazzie: /dev/sda5 is an lvm physical volume. you will need to setup lvm, start with lvmdiskscan, it should also report it is a physical volume for lvm. then use pvs, vgs, lvs | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | bekks: is this what Pazzie's trying to do? | 12:26 |
| Pazzie | bekks: yes i know that now, i was just giving tomreyn the information | 12:27 |
| oal | I just ran "chsh -s /bin/zsh" to change my shell to zsh, but when I open a new terminal, I still get the old default. Do I have to reboot? | 12:27 |
| Pazzie | tomreyn: i want to resize my "root" partition and extend it with 5GB but i have know idea how | 12:27 |
| tomreyn | leotr: this looks perfectly normal. which driver are you using? | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | oal: perhaps log out completely | 12:27 |
| oal | dr_willis: ok, will try | 12:28 |
| Pazzie | tomreyn: bekks helped me a bit, but i am stuck now | 12:28 |
| zaggynl | how bad of an idea was it to set raid 10 rebuild rate to 300000K/sec | 12:28 |
| compdoc | BluesKaj, but what do you do with tzdata? | 12:28 |
| bekks | tomreyn: Exactly. | 12:28 |
| bekks | Pazzie: You were given all commands you have to use, and the information taht you have to create a backup before. I doubt you did it until now :) | 12:29 |
| oal | dr_willis: perfect, that worked | 12:29 |
| unkrr | hey there is a problem i m facing with loopback adapter and vmware | 12:29 |
| unkrr | i m unable to bridge my loopback adapter with the vmware any suggestions?? | 12:30 |
| jakeR333 | is there caching function in ubuntu? like when you start a program it will cache some of it in the PC memory ? | 12:30 |
| tomreyn | Pazzie: then i suggest you either invest some hours on reading up on what LVM is and how it works as an additional storage device layer, and look into how resiing file systems works manually. or, probably your better option since it will be faster and less error prone, make a backup and reinstall. | 12:30 |
| zykotick9 | !atemyram | jakeR333 YES | 12:30 |
| ubottu | jakeR333 YES: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | jakeR333: it does that automatically yes | 12:30 |
| bekks | unkrr: It is nonsense to bridge the loopback adapter :) | 12:30 |
| Pazzie | bekks: i dont need to created a backup, if the system is broke i simply reinstall the system ;) but since a reinstall is the easy solution | 12:30 |
| unkrr | bekks i need it to do | 12:31 |
| Eagleman | How do i login in ebox? | 12:31 |
| leotr | tomreyn: how can i exactly find out info on which driver is used? | 12:31 |
| unkrr | bekks: if u have the solution plz let me know | 12:31 |
| OerHeks | !ebox | 12:31 |
| ubottu | zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 12:31 |
| Eagleman | Wont work | 12:31 |
| Psi-Jack | Eagleman: Yes it does. | 12:32 |
| jakeR333 | dr_willis a fresh ubuntu start is 120MB.. after a day of use i close all programs and the RAM consumption is 160MB | 12:32 |
| bekks | unkrr: Why would you need that - the loopback interface will not provide any communication between your host and guest. | 12:32 |
| leotr | tomreyn, btw i think that acceleration works on my computer because window animations are smooth | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | jakeR333: so? | 12:32 |
| Eagleman | During the installation you will be asked to supply a password for the ebox user. | 12:32 |
| Eagleman | did not happen | 12:32 |
| jakeR333 | so i want to understand what's causing this | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | leotr: sorry, should have told you. based on the output on the pastebin you are using a proprietary driver, i.e. probably fglrx. i suggest you use the open source nouveau driver for now just to see whether it fixes the issues with the input device latency. | 12:32 |
| Psi-Jack | Eagleman: It uses regular user accounts., So, yes, yes it does work. | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | zentyal install here asked for about 4 differnt passwords, and other settings | 12:33 |
| jakeR333 | is it a memory leadk or a features in ubuntu.. i had to patch metacity with unoffical update because it kept taking memory up to 190MB | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | but that was for things like ldap, and ddclient ;) | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | compdoc, tzdata : | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | This package contains data required for the implementation of standard local time for many representative locations around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and daylight-saving rules. | 12:33 |
| jakeR333 | now after i patched it it never go above 3MB | 12:33 |
| tomreyn | leotr: you can switch to nouveau by running: jockey-gtk | 12:33 |
| unkrr | bekks: i need it for the NETWORKING process can't explain it to you in words | 12:33 |
| Eagleman | Well during apt-get install ebox nothing was asked, only if i wanted to proceed | 12:33 |
| bekks | unkrr: vmware never needed things like that. :) | 12:33 |
| leotr | tomreyn: i thought that proprietary is faster, anyway i don't play games so i don't need 3d much ^) will try nouveau | 12:34 |
| Psi-Jack | Eagleman: See #zentyal for support then. | 12:34 |
| unkrr | bekks: it happens in windows for your information | 12:34 |
| tomreyn | leotr: there, you just need to disable the nvida drivers, then reboot (logging out and in again _may_ also be sufficient) | 12:34 |
| unkrr | bekks: if you know the solution plz tell otherwise no problem | 12:34 |
| tomreyn | leotr: this is just to find out whether it's a hardware or driver (software) issue. | 12:34 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: fyi to disable nvidia, a reboot WOULD be required | 12:34 |
| leotr | tomreyn: ok, thanks, will try it | 12:35 |
| tomreyn | zykotick9: doesn't X get restarted and unload the module when you log off? | 12:35 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: kernel drivers certainly are not | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | tomreyn: kernel modules. no | 12:35 |
| Psi-Jack | tomreyn: nvidia uses both a kernel module and X driver. | 12:35 |
| Pazzie | bekks: thnx for your help, but i will reinstall the system i think that will be quicker ;) and i can configure it better ;) | 12:35 |
| tomreyn | alright :) | 12:36 |
| Michelle_ | zykotick9: i got same hash when i downloaded via torrent "MD5 (ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) = 06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d" | 12:36 |
| Pazzie | tomreyn: thnx too | 12:36 |
| Eagleman | I am logged in now but it is not showing much information | 12:36 |
| Pazzie | Eagleman: you have to install modules | 12:36 |
| leotr | tomreyn, sorry i have 2 options in jockey, both are proprietary | 12:37 |
| tomreyn | leotr: which of them is active (green) already? | 12:37 |
| zykotick9 | Michelle_: i don't see sums for 12.04.1 on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes - what are you comparing against? | 12:37 |
| leotr | tomreyn: current-updates | 12:37 |
| tomreyn | leotr: so this is loaded, unlaod it | 12:38 |
| Michelle_ | zykotick9: the iso file "ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" | 12:38 |
| zykotick9 | Michelle_: but we need to know what the MD5 is suppose to be... | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: looks good | 12:38 |
| leotr | the second one is just "current" but also proprietary | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: just use the web and search for the hash: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=06472ddf11382c8da1f32e9487435c3d | 12:38 |
| lief | hi every body! | 12:39 |

| tomreyn | leotr: my suggestion was to uninstall those | 12:40 |
| leotr | tomreyn, ah, ok | 12:40 |
| tomreyn | leotr: i.e. the goal would be to not have a green dot there | 12:41 |
| lief | k will try #math | 12:41 |
| harry_ | hi | 12:41 |
| tomreyn | leotr: then if that works well you can try installing the non "updates" one and see whether this works, too. | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Michelle_: could use MD5 to test the data on the USB stick, it could be bad. You could burn the ISO to a CD as SLOWLY as possible and boot that | 12:41 |

| surlogics | Im not sure what is lost,perhaps bootup files. So is there anything I can do to make it work again thanks | 12:46 |
| morgan | Psi-Jack, basically, I'd like to be able to drag/drop a folder or right click the folder, and hit extract, and it will search for all archives in that folder and extract them. ie a folder that has an entire season of a tv show | 12:47 |

| 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 | 12:48 |

| dr_willis | unzip *.zip causes the shell to expand the * using the '*.zip' tells unzip to use the wildcard | 12:49 |
| tomreyn | leotr: okay that's good to know. now chances are your new video card is not seated correctly or is broken (as in hardware). there could be other reasons, such as a bios bug (i.e. bios update needed) or something else. we can try to narrow it down further, but this will involve working on the shell now. is this ok with you? | 12:50 |

| leotr | tomreyn, ok, doing it, rebooting and will come back | 13:25 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: sudo apt-get purge browser-plugin-gnash | 13:25 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: then restart your web browser | 13:26 |
| Darkenvy | so Im running two flash plugins at ocne? | 13:26 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: another option is to keep it as it is now and to disable the gnash plugin in your web browser (if it allows you to, firefox does) | 13:26 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: you can only be using one plugin for a single mime type at once, but you currently have two handlers for flash content installed | 13:27 |
| Darkenvy | That did not help. Purging Gnash | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bender: sure | 13:28 |

| tomreyn | blackshirt: the package is called adobe-flashplugin to my knowledge | 13:29 |

| tomreyn | blackshirt: that's the one form partner repository. | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | folder* | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bender: seek and ye shall find | 13:30 |
| Darkenvy | Apparently its just firefox. Chrome is ULTRA FAST now | 13:30 |
| blackshirt | sliddjur what you mean ? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: chrome is good like that | 13:30 |
| sliddjur | blackshirt: i do ls -all /usr/share | 13:30 |
| sliddjur | aptitude is an app. but apps is a directory | 13:31 |
| sliddjur | for example | 13:31 |
| MonkeyDust | sliddjur a folder has a d in front (directory) | 13:31 |
| Darkenvy | okay installing adobe-flash | 13:31 |
| Darkenvy | will I have to disable another handler? | 13:31 |
| sliddjur | seems like they all do | 13:31 |
| tomreyn | sliddjur: it's called 'directory', not 'folder'. directories are indicated by a "d" character at the first position on each line of output in ths format | 13:31 |

| SpecialEd | and have completely uninstalled mysql-server-5.5 and mysql-server-client and mysql-server-common and mysql-server i even went to the trouble of purging any file related to mysql from the system, including the docs and man files | 13:34 |
| leotr | tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192709/ | 13:34 |

| SpecialEd | it first asks for a password, i've tried blank and entering in 2 passwords (tried this whole cycle 3 times in a row) all is well until i get this error: | 13:34 |
| SpecialEd | An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL administrative user. This may have happened because the account already has a password, or because of a communication problem with the MySQL server. | 13:35 |
| Sven_vB | SpecialEd: is it on purpose to run upgrade *after* update than before? | 13:35 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: i suggest you run software-properties-gtk, enable the 'canonical-partner' repository, then run: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 13:35 |

| Darkenvy | my problem is that chrome now runs MUCH faster on flash but firefox is still the same; slow | 13:36 |
| SpecialEd | blackshirt: for mysql at least | 13:37 |
| Sven_vB | SpecialEd: usually when i upgrade my software, i do the apt-get update *before* that, so that the 2nd step upgrade then will use the lastest package information | 13:37 |
| SpecialEd | ok thanks sven | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | Darkenvy: i didn't notice you telling us about running that. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: cos firefox is lame :) | 13:37 |
| yeats | SpecialEd: this is when installing via apt-get, yes? then I wouldn't expect the mysql log to be active yet | 13:37 |
| Sven_vB | SpecialEd: as to the problem, try to purge mysql. that should remove the password as a part of removing all the mysql config data. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: did you uninstall all the flash handlers and install only adobe-flashplugin? | 13:37 |
| blackshirt | specialed, what the errors exactly? | 13:37 |
| SpecialEd | Sven_vB: I've tried with the purge flag | 13:38 |
| SpecialEd | blackshirt: its above | 13:38 |
| SnapSnap | Can I change the time server Ubuntu uses to get Internet time? | 13:38 |
| SpecialEd | <SpecialEd> An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL administrative user. This may have happened because the account already has a password, or because of a communication problem with the MySQL server. | 13:38 |
| Darkenvy | <Darkenvy> okay installing adobe-flash | 13:38 |
| Darkenvy | * lousygarua has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) | 13:38 |
| Darkenvy | <Darkenvy> will I have to disable another handler? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | SnapSnap: I think it's in /etc/ntpd.conf | 13:38 |
| Sven_vB | oh, then have you testet whether mysql is indeed running on the default port after setup? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: yes, uninstall them as I stated | 13:38 |
| tomreyn | leotr: please do: sudo cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit | 13:39 |
| Darkenvy | I just installed them | 13:39 |
| Darkenvy | as a prereq for installing it, it make me uninstall the other one | 13:39 |
| SnapSnap | ActionParsnip, I read that online, but there's no such file in my /etc | 13:39 |
| SpecialEd | Sven_vB: service mysql status shows not running, as does netstat -lnpt | 13:39 |
| Darkenvy | removed | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | SnapSnap: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime has a how to about halfway down for ntp | 13:40 |
| blackshirt | specialed... have you try to reinstall them? | 13:40 |
| leotr | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192715/ | 13:40 |
| Darkenvy | ITs removed actionparsnip however flash is still going in firefox | 13:41 |
| tomreyn | leotr: then: sudo /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit; sudo /var/log/kern.log | pastebinit; dmesg | pastebinit | 13:41 |
| Sven_vB | ok then i'll join MonkeyDust in trying #mysql :) | 13:41 |
| SpecialEd | blackshirt: yes, as described initially i have 3 times | 13:41 |
| yeats | SpecialEd: see this Debian thread that has a possible fix http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/186132-fresh-debian-install-fails-install-mysql.html#post877215 | 13:41 |
| freddddiiiiii | I am having a simple issue. I have made the top Unity bar 100% transparent, all good, but when the menu fades out, it will appear as black text behind it: http://ompldr.org/vZmV1aQ/ubuntu-black-text-issue-on-full-transparancy.png | 13:42 |
| === Dr4g|bbs is now known as Dr4g | ||
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: did you close firefox entirely then rerun it | 13:42 |
| Darkenvy | yes I did | 13:42 |
| SpecialEd | yeats: yeah, been to that site, tried those steps :( | 13:42 |
| Darkenvy | I even disabled the shockwave plugin from the firefox settings | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: can you rerun the command I gave and pastebin the text please | 13:43 |
| MonkeyDust | freddddiiiiii there's also the channel #unity3d | 13:43 |
| leotr | tomreyn, syslog -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192715/, Xorg.0.log is empty (, dmesg -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192721/ | 13:43 |
| freddddiiiiii | Ok. | 13:43 |
| SpecialEd | i remembered it because of the annoying video there lol | 13:43 |
| Darkenvy | Oh well that setting is gone now.... but I did it before I removed all the flash plugins | 13:43 |
| Darkenvy | I found a gnash-common too. so I removed that as well | 13:43 |
| SpecialEd | yeats: still same old problem "An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL administrative user. This may have happened because the account already has a password, or because of a communication problem with the MySQL server. " | 13:44 |
| blackshirt | specialed, you can purge it and try to install again your mysql server..you should familiar with apt troubleshootings includes hook to script | 13:44 |
| SpecialEd | I've been at this for 12 hours now:( | 13:44 |
| yeats | SpecialEd: how much trouble would it be to reinstall ubuntu and start over? | 13:44 |
| yeats | (because that would take less than 12 hours) | 13:44 |
| blackshirt | specialed... I don't know exactly what are trying to do | 13:44 |
| SpecialEd | blackshirt: thanks, but i've done both "aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-client-5.1 " & "apt-get purge remove mysql-server" I'm very familiar with apt troubleshootings | 13:45 |
| SpecialEd | yeats: it'll be a nightmare, but i guess this'll be by my weekend | 13:45 |
| tomreyn | leotr: sudo ls -t1 /var/log/Xorg.*.log | head -n1 | xargs sudo cat | pastebinit | 13:45 |
| leotr | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1192725/ | 13:46 |
| blackshirt | specialed, you should get cleaned state | 13:46 |
| Sven_vB | SpecialEd: is it usual for reinstalling to be a nightmare? | 13:46 |
| SpecialEd | never | 13:46 |
| SpecialEd | for whatever reason this mysql install has been a shitshow for me :( | 13:46 |
| Darkenvy | Flash still works in chrome and firefox. despite uninstalling everything flash related. gnash, adobe-flash, ect | 13:47 |
| tomreyn | leotr: thanks. you can search for and install pending updates now, then reboot once more and tell me whether it got better. i'll have some reading to do in the meantime. | 13:47 |
| Darkenvy | however firefox is incredibly slow | 13:47 |
| blackshirt | specialed, i think that was from postinstall script | 13:48 |
| Michelle_ | hi, someone knows why i get stuck at https://www.logicsupply.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/boot_splash.png ? | 13:48 |
| tomreyn | leotr: oh don't reboot just yet, there's more to be done. | 13:48 |
| TribesAsc | should i upgrade to unbuntu 12.10 from 11.10, i reallly like 11.10 , but i feel im missing out on something by not upgrading | 13:48 |
| leotr | ok | 13:48 |
| droidcore | Hi, I'm trying to convert a desktop install CD to an alternate install CD with jigdo, but I can't find any .debs in the desktop CD (also checked in filesystem.squashfs). Does anyone know how they're stored? trying to avoid downloading the whole thing | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | TribesAsc: 12.10 is beta. | 13:49 |
| yeats | TribesAsc: 12.10 isn't released yet, so no one here is going to recommend that | 13:49 |
| Daekdroom | TribesAsc, first you'd have to upgrade to 12.04 LTS, and 12.10 is still in development. | 13:49 |
| blackshirt | specialed, i think you was not successfully purging your mysql server | 13:49 |
| * szymon_g wanders why there is no Faenza package in default repositories :/ | 13:49 | |
| tobleh | hahahahah | 13:49 |
| yeats | TribesAsc: and I'm one for not fixing what's not been broken - if you like 11.10, no need to rock the boat ;-) | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | leotr: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | TribesAsc: if you want bleeding edge stuff, go for the upgrade - and be prepared to maintain and configure it. If you want a system that works, stick with LTS. WAY fewer headaches. | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | leotr: and tell me whether it says it already had it. | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | leotr: i.e. "nothing to do" | 13:50 |
| leotr | it's downloading... | 13:50 |
| leotr | and unpacking | 13:50 |
| TribesAsc | i like headaches, it keeps me from doing worng stuff | 13:50 |
| leotr | got installed | 13:50 |
| max | hello | 13:51 |
| NeuhNeuh | Hi ! | 13:51 |
| Michelle_ | someone knows why i get stuck at boot splash screen? | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | leotr: okay, now install all the other pending updates (should include a kernel update) and reboot. | 13:51 |
| NeuhNeuh | I want to enable Compiz on XFCE4, but many solutions offer by Google (and doc ubuntu website) don't work :/ | 13:51 |
| blackshirt | hello max | 13:51 |
| TribesAsc | does 12.04 have support for my nvidia with intel i7 laptop | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | NeuhNeuh: greetings | 13:51 |
| blackshirt | specialed, still there guys? | 13:51 |
| NeuhNeuh | cfhowlett, ? | 13:51 |
| NeuhNeuh | Hi cfhowlett :) | 13:52 |
| max | hw r u doing blackshirt | 13:52 |
| sunilrk | hi al | 13:52 |
| blackshirt | max, nothing lol | 13:52 |
| blackshirt | Hi sunilrk | 13:52 |
| cfhowlett | NeuhNeuh: we had a guy on irc last night talking about that. I don't know how he did it, but apparently xfce and compiz can be made to co-exist | 13:52 |
| OerHeks | !nomodeset | Michelle_ | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Michelle_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:52 |
| sunilrk | hi blackshirt | 13:52 |
| sunilrk | where are you from | 13:53 |
| blackshirt | sunilrk, what do you think about? | 13:54 |
| blackshirt | sory for my cryptic english | 13:54 |
| leotr | tomreyn, ok, upgrading... this will take a while. I'll let you know when it finishes | 13:54 |
| sunilrk | its ok | 13:55 |
| tomreyn | leotr: cool, just reboot when it's done and notify me when you're back. | 13:55 |
| leotr | ok | 13:55 |
| blackshirt | sunilrk, do you come from india? | 13:56 |
| firered365 | Hello. | 13:56 |
| blackshirt | hello firered365 | 13:56 |
| tomtiger11 | How can i have one ubuntu server, and have different computers login through that server? | 13:56 |
| firered365 | I need help. I installed ubuntu inside windows, but I want ubuntu to be the only OS in the computer | 13:57 |
| Sven_vB | tomtiger11: what kind of services would you like to log into? | 13:57 |
| blackshirt | tomtiger1, what you need, describe more details? | 13:57 |
| cfhowlett | firered365: you mean NO windows available at all? | 13:57 |
| bekks | tomtiger11: Just create multiple user accounts. | 13:57 |
| sunilrk | yes blackshirt how do you know i am from india | 13:57 |
| firered365 | Yes! | 13:57 |
| blackshirt | firered365, you should do full installation..and replace your old os | 13:57 |
| firered365 | With a live CD? | 13:58 |
| cfhowlett | firered365: yes | 13:58 |
| tomtiger11 | bekks: But they need to login through the server | 13:58 |
| === Laif` is now known as Laif | ||
| blackshirt | Sunilrk, yes, because i'm smart enough ::d | 13:58 |
| firered365 | Ok. Will it delete everything I have already? | 13:58 |
| bekks | tomtiger11: What do you mean by "login through the server"? | 13:58 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: are you trying to use the server as a authentication server? | 13:58 |
| sunilrk | cool..wer r u from blackshirt | 13:58 |
| firered365 | On Ubuntu | 13:58 |
| tomtiger11 | bekks: I mean have ubuntu connect to the server as if the accounts were on the computer | 13:59 |
| blackshirt | sunilrk, thank you... You can think me come from indonesia :d | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | firered365: you installed a wubi setup. Full installation is different. Backup your data to a usb, fully install and copy over your data. | 13:59 |
| bekks | tomtiger11: So you want a thin client then? | 13:59 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 13:59 |
| tomtiger11 | Since ive got 13 computers, And one of them is going to be a server to host the users files, and login through that server | 14:00 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 14:00 |
| firered365 | Yes. I really don't have much, but just don't want to download everything all over again on my Ubuntu partition. | 14:00 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: I just want to point out that what you're asking for isn't simple. Its something that organizations do, but its not something you setup in 10 minutes | 14:01 |
| tomtiger11 | uberamd: Yes, Ive got a few people in a club at school who would be assisting. | 14:01 |
| tomtiger11 | its for that club | 14:01 |
| blackshirt | tomtiger11, you mean single sign on? | 14:01 |
| tomtiger11 | indeed | 14:02 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: just google Ubuntu Directory Server and get reading :) | 14:02 |
| blackshirt | tomtiger11, you can do it | 14:02 |
| Michelle_ | OerHeks: the keyboard at the boot splash doesn't even respond? | 14:03 |
| tomtiger11 | uberamd: Would I install OpenLDAPServer on the server computer and then what? | 14:04 |
| bekks | tomtiger11: OpenLDAP just gives you the authentication - nothing more. | 14:04 |
| bekks | For setting up thin clients, you have to refer to the Linux Terminal Server Project. | 14:05 |
| tomtiger11 | bekks: Indeed, But how do i authenticate with OpenLDAP | 14:05 |
| tomtiger11 | Seriously? Terminal? | 14:05 |
| blackshirt | you should configure your client to do authintication through informations on openldap server | 14:05 |
| tomtiger11 | The computers that will authenticate through the server using the GUI | 14:06 |
| blackshirt | no big problem | 14:06 |
| tomtiger11 | Right. | 14:06 |
| uberamd | tomtiger11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | leotr: still installing? is it possible (do you remember) that you have edited this file in the past? /etc/default/grub | 14:08 |
| leotr | tomreyn: yes, i did it | 14:09 |
| tomreyn | leotr: why did it seem neccessary to do so? and how long is it ago (same ubuntu version?) | 14:09 |
| leotr | yes, still installing. I added a line to it, while i was trying to resolve it. I did it today | 14:09 |
| leotr | just a minute i will tell you exactly | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | leotr: please undo the change of "nouveau.modeset=0" you did there | 14:10 |

| leotr | after i installed videocard i faced the problem we are trying to resolve so there was a recommendation to do it. Ok did that | 14:12 |

| leotr | tomreyn, yes, it's already done | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | leotr: did you make other changes to /etc/default/grub ? | 14:15 |

| tux01 | why my fonts get reseted every time i boot my ubuntu ? | 14:34 |
| tux01 | i'm using xfce | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ms_daisy: as far as I know it will use the system wide settings | 14:34 |
| tomreyn | Michelle: this suggests you may want to use the nointremap kernel/boot option to run the installer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2006289 | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tux01: reset in what way? | 14:34 |
| tomreyn | Michelle: do you know how to do this? | 14:34 |
| tux01 | i use b5 theme and love the size of the fonts | 14:35 |
| Michelle | tomreyn: i'll look on the site first :P | 14:35 |
| tux01 | i can't see well so i use them as they are bigger | 14:35 |

| tux01 | oh i use ubuntu 10.4.4 | 14:37 |
| NeuhNeuh | Thank You MonkeyDust | 14:38 |
| Michelle | tomreyn: i don't think i could do it. I can't find the solution? | 14:39 |
| ms_daisy | ActionParsnip, thanks. Apparently it automatically set itself to use a proxy. Weird. | 14:39 |
| BalthaTczar | If you write an .iso to disc, will it just write the iso file to disc or the contents ? | 14:40 |

| luyang | I see | 14:44 |
| luyang | hm | 14:44 |
| tux01 | i just ask , if is important for permisions | 14:44 |
| cfhowlett | luyang: bad downloads happen most often with direct downloads, less often with torrents. Bad iso means bad installation. Takes 60 seconds to check. | 14:44 |
| iceroot | tux01: for POSIX ACLs, yes | 14:44 |
| tux01 | i want to have backup of my home | 14:44 |

| iceroot | tux01: why not just using ext4? | 14:45 |
| nOStahl | btw how is everyone liking 12.04 | 14:45 |
| luyang | but I am currently installing.... and now I am chatting on my mac mini | 14:45 |

| tux01 | i don't have any hd to format that one is for movies and the other one i have is for macosx time machine | 14:45 |
| iceroot | tux01: you are storing movies on fat32? | 14:45 |
| luyang | it has moved on... now doing some sort of plugin install | 14:46 |
| tux01 | yes | 14:46 |
| iceroot | tux01: sounds like a bad idea but ok, that is not the topic on this channel | 14:46 |

| tux01 | they are not pirate | 14:46 |
| iceroot | tux01: you can use fat32 to make a backup but ext4 is highly recommend because of hardlinks, posix acls and the file-size-limit | 14:46 |
| tux01 | and if i use a usb pen drive ? | 14:47 |

| econdudeawesome | howdy all. How do I change my icon theme in openbox? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, built up from ubuntu minimal install (base server) | 15:11 |
| seednode | Well, assuming you couldn't find it on Google, let me check. | 15:12 |
| econdudeawesome | seednode: it was not clear to me when I googlefued | 15:12 |
| bazhang | openbox-themes, openbox-xdgmenu econdudeawesome got there installed? | 15:12 |
| bazhang | err these | 15:12 |
| econdudeawesome | bazhang: not sure let me check | 15:12 |
| ms_daisy | The torproject has been pushing some updates to Ubuntu for me but the gpg keys are expired. Anyone else seeing these? | 15:13 |
| seednode | System-wide themes are installed in /usr/share/themes. User-specific themes can be installed in ~/.local/share/themes or in ~/.themes. | 15:13 |
| bazhang | ms_daisy, gpg errors? | 15:13 |
| econdudeawesome | bazhang: xdgmenu was not installed. | 15:13 |
| seednode | Just put the theme there and setup with ObConf, maybe? | 15:13 |
| luyang | Is it just me or is Ubuntu significantly faster than Windows 7? | 15:13 |
| seednode | It often is, luyang. | 15:14 |
| luyang | I just installed a plugin in Eclipse and it feels faster | 15:14 |
| econdudeawesome | seednode: the specific issue I'm having is with nautilus displaying icons. Not sure how to link them together | 15:14 |
| seednode | Due to fewer background processes | 15:14 |
| bazhang | luyang, a good topic for #ubuntu-discuss | 15:14 |
| Calinou | luyang, obviously it is | 15:14 |
| ms_daisy | what do you mean bazhang ? | 15:14 |
| luyang | ok should I enable TRIM via discard option or just leave it? (I use ssd) | 15:14 |
| Calinou | lubuntu and xubuntu are sometimes even faster | 15:14 |
| seednode | Ubuntu minimal + awesome is even faster-er | 15:15 |
| xangua | ms_daisy: he means that you should share the actual error message | 15:15 |
| luyang | small is beautiful | 15:15 |
| econdudeawesome | luyang: super fast, especially when you pare out the bloat from the default install or build up from ubuntu minimal (I prefer openbox, it appears seednode prefers awesome, both are windows managers) | 15:15 |
| seednode | I just love tiling, and awesome seems to be less work to setup. | 15:16 |
| seednode | But to each their own. | 15:16 |

| tomreyn | thanks bazhang | 16:29 |

| aoxi | i am running xubuntu 12.04 with vlc 2.0.3, and am experiencing vlc's process hanging after closure. it also seems to use 100% cpu of a core at all times, even when the video is paused. i tried googling, but only found articles related to vlc crashing the entire system... anyone know of a fix? | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | triyo: as you may imagine, this command will (if it succeeds) remove both the "global menu bar" PPA and any packages installed from it. that's neccessary because this PPA you are using is actually for ubuntu lucid (10.04), not natty (11.04, which is the ubuntu release release you have). | 17:23 |
| klebezettel | can somebody do a little test for me? just wondering if it's only on my system: please run urxvt (terminal emulator), hit 'cat<RETURN>' and press Alt+. ...what's the output for you? | 17:24 |
| bekks | klebezettel: What is your output? | 17:24 |
| klebezettel | bekks: just the dot, meaning urxvt does not send escape for alt...which is why I have some problems using midnight commander (mc) | 17:25 |
| klebezettel | but it should be "^[." | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | triyo: you should not mix packages made for different ubuntu releases, since they can be (and often are) incompatible. | 17:25 |
| triyo | tomreyn: interesting regarding lucid in fo in the logs as oppose to natty... | 17:25 |
| triyo | The command finished running | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | triyo: did it report errors? | 17:26 |

| DasEi | unless: I'm not sure if there was an uninstaller in your tarball, else can llok up apt's log for recently installed package ; use a vm next time you do experiments | 17:47 |

| fire_ | tomtiger11: brain* it happens, as i told it's hard wired (circuits) instead of normal chemical reactions that must take place. :D | 17:49 |
| DasEi | unless: the more harsh an detailed way : see listing of dpkg -I and decide, what can be gone (try by --dry-run switch first hand, as some essentials tend to pull half the os off when asked to be removed) | 17:49 |
| fire_ | really here there are funny guys than other channels on irc. :D | 17:49 |

| trupheenix | i'm trying to set up bind9 on my machine for my domain. but my mail server is on a different ip which is not the same as the dns server. how do i create a reverse dns entry for my mail server? | 17:53 |
| trupheenix | my reverse dns lookups are failing | 17:54 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, ? | 17:55 |
| trupheenix | jagginess my mail server is on a different subnet. | 17:55 |
| DasEi | trupheenix: dnsmasq comes to my mind | 17:55 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, you need an mx record, perhaps too a reverse address record as well | 17:55 |
| DasEi | !info dnsmasq | 17:56 |
| ubottu | dnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.59-4 (precise), package size 15 kB, installed size 117 kB | 17:56 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, by default 12.04+ dnsmasq comes installed.. | 17:56 |
| DasEi | trupheenix: that also allows routing-functions | 17:56 |
| trupheenix | jagginess, i am confused how to set up the reverse record. forward lookups work fine. but the problem comes in specifying the reverse dns entry. i'm not sure how the format should be if the server is on a different subnet from the dns. | 17:56 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, by default dnsmasq listens on 127.0.0.1, perhaps you may want to change that | 17:57 |
| trupheenix | jagginess, DasEi sorry I am still using 10.04 server edition :( | 17:57 |
| DasEi | trupheenix: same there | 17:57 |
| azizLIGHTS | how do i check if i have a certain package installed, on command line | 17:57 |
| trupheenix | DasEi, i am required to use bind9 | 17:57 |
| mutio | trupheenix // No chance of just putting the mail server onto the same subnet? | 17:57 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, mail clients find mx servers through mx records.. some clients like to do reverse-ip checkups.. you'll have to read up about that :/ | 17:57 |
| DasEi | azizLIGHTS: dpkg -I | grep <packageName> | 17:57 |
| jagginess | trupheenix, mail clients (as other smtp mta servers) | 17:58 |

| jrib | azizLIGHTS: replace "package" with your package name... | 18:00 |
| azizLIGHTS | ok jrib , thanks | 18:00 |
| jagginess | azizLIGHTS, -l lists, use grep if you know part of the substring name of a package, --> apt-cache policy <full package name> is another command which doesnt do the same as dpkg -l | 18:01 |
| W4sp | Inconsolata is an excellent font that prevents these kind of goof-ups. | 18:01 |

| tomreyn | triyo: i did not respond because you said you were about to leave. i don't need the full list right now. all of these are actually packages in natty, so i wonder why it would list those anyways. please try installing pastebinit again (sudo apt-get install pastebinit). if it worked, please run: apt-show-versions | grep uptodate | head -n 200 | pastebinit | 18:08 |

| bipolar | I'm using pam cached credentials on laptops. It works great when connected to the local network, or when completely disconnected. My problem is when the laptop is connected to a network off site. Since the servers are not on the network, I get a delay when logging in. The delay matches the BIND_TIMEOUT setting in /etc/ldap.conf. When there is no network, the bind attempt fails immediately so I get no timeout. Is there a way to fix this without changing th | 18:33 |
| bipolar | e BIND_TIMEOUT setting? I'm trying to keep my configuration as clean as possible, so I'd rather not use a postinst script on my auth deb to change it. Everything else is setup with auth-client-config. | 18:33 |

| battlehands | DasEi, how do Iknow which version I'm using? I know it's 12.04 Desktop, but I don't know which one that is in the version list. | 19:10 |
| DasEi | maicod: have a look at FAQ of vbox, all nicely explained | 19:10 |
| DasEi | battlehands: 12.04 is precise pangolin | 19:11 |
| battlehands | pangolin? | 19:11 |
| OerHeks | battlehands, if you use that list, it will download again. | 19:11 |

| bekks | tomtiger11: Then you have to investigate it when having physical access. | 19:12 |
| DasEi | maicod: sec, I gfu | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | triyo: gee, i just don't get it. you have a lot of natty packages installed, which is fine since this is supposed to be a natty system. you also have all the APT sources setup you need to have for natty. however, you have a whole bunch of natty packages where the system does no longer know they actually belong to natty, and that they are still available in natty by this name and in exactly the version you have. | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | maybe it makes more sense to have another peoson look into this, since i don't seem to make much progress now. | 19:14 |

| 21WAAFEW9 | tomtiger11: No it is not, i have a 24 port one | 19:21 |
| bekks | tomtiger11: Well, there are no 13-port ones. | 19:21 |
| learc83 | DasEi how do I try backports, is there just a package to install? | 19:21 |

| Ericson2314 | it would probably work | 19:41 |
| Ericson2314 | but i wanna buffer | 19:41 |
| Ericson2314 | cause that is a more robust fix | 19:41 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: (nice nick) more details ? | 19:41 |
| Troy^ | leslie_: iwconfig | pastebinit | 19:41 |
| leslie_ | pth, The router is in the company that my mate leslie works for and the box that I am trying to connect worked fine on 10.04 | 19:41 |
| new2ubuntu | Is this where I can receive help with Lubuntu 12.04? | 19:42 |
| DasEi | yes, new2ubuntu | 19:42 |
| fatfreddyscat | I'm trying to mount this partition. it's encrypted via luks. I can issue the luksOpen command, I can mount the partition (dev/sdc1) but then after a few seconds I get errors and the disk reinitialises as dev/hdd1 and hde1 hdf1 and so on. I've chased it half way up the alphabet and every time I only get a few seconds time to read the data on it | 19:42 |
| new2ubuntu | I have it on an old computer and it works pretty good for only 512 mb of memory | 19:42 |
| leslie_ | Troy, brb I will have to put thqt on a key | 19:43 |
| skroot | new2ubuntu, up until a few weeks ago i ran ubuntu server on 128mb ram | 19:43 |
| fatfreddyscat | I can't tell what is causing the reset. | 19:43 |
| fatfreddyscat | I don't even have enough time to do an fsck on it before it moves up the alphabet another notch | 19:43 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: so 1) you got an external usb and an internal OS (correct me, if I'm wrong) | 19:43 |
| fatfreddyscat | correct | 19:43 |
| Troy^ | leslie_: oh yea sorry you can't pastebinit.. can be easy via ssh though copy and paste the output of iwconfig | 19:44 |
| new2ubuntu | skroot, I have a friend that told me he still has on old 3.0 computer, I thought about running some sort of Linux on it, but I don't know what will run on it, if anything. right now it has windows 3.0 or something like that. | 19:44 |
| Ejdesgaard | I thought ubuntu-12.04 was i386 compatable... but it seems to be >=i686... | 19:44 |
| skroot | 3.1 | 19:44 |
| skroot | i remember growing up to windows 3.1 | 19:45 |
| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: with 512mb of ram it most likely isn't running windows 3.0 | 19:45 |
| skroot | yea really | 19:45 |
| DasEi | 2) you not just issued luksOpen, but also lvm2, mknodes, scan for arrays and have the dir of the open luks ? | 19:45 |
| skroot | maybe 8mb | 19:45 |
| skroot | or 512kb | 19:45 |
| Troy^ | lol | 19:45 |
| fatfreddyscat | here is the dmesg output http://pastebin.com/Mp4kcXiX | 19:45 |

| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: yea i woudn't even bother with the junk your friend is offering you | 19:46 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: thing is, you also need the lm-support , the nodes and arrays, then luks will go to a mapper, where then data can be accesed (or another mountpoint created) | 19:46 |
| DasEi | LVM-S..* | 19:47 |
| new2ubuntu | it's free and it would be fun to mess with, maybe something like puppy or antix will run on it. who knows. Troy^ | 19:47 |
| Troy^ | the processor is probablly like 66/100/133mhz new2ubuntu | 19:47 |
| a565634 | Hi, can a signed java applet write to/read from any file on the system? | 19:48 |
| lkeijser | hi, what's /var/cache/apt-xapian-index for? | 19:48 |
| bekks | a565634: The signature means nothing. | 19:48 |
| fatfreddyscat | correct. I can do that. in short order I can do this: 1) luksopen 2) mount /dev/mapper/balbla 3) access data for a few seconds and then the disk disappears, reappears as sdf sdg or whatever, the mouint no longer works. I can start again | 19:48 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: open the luks : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html | 19:48 |
| new2ubuntu | now getting back to this Lubuntu, what is the format to a 12 hour clock instead of the 24? anybody know how to set that? | 19:48 |
| a565634 | bekks: what do you mean? | 19:48 |
| bekks | a565634: The fact an app is signed tells you nothing about what it is able to do and what not. | 19:49 |
| fatfreddyscat | DasEi - danke. I'll check that out and report back. | 19:49 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: after a sucesfull opening, you'll find it in /dev/mapper >> mount that to a point, and there you can have addiional mountpoints | 19:49 |
| a565634 | bekks: I thought signed applets have more permissions than unsigned ones, is that wrong? | 19:49 |

| TylerKG123 | Guys? | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: never used lubuntu but can you right click on clock and go to properties | 19:50 |
| fatfreddyscat | I know. but they only work for a few brief seconds. | 19:50 |
| TylerKG123 | I could use a little help, guys | 19:50 |
| fatfreddyscat | then the usb resets and the partition reenters the system with a new letter. | 19:50 |
| DasEi | Troy^: clock ? yupp | 19:50 |
| TylerKG123 | I know this seems nooby, but how do I level up on Zelda 2 for NES? :/ | 19:50 |
| bekks | a565634: It is entirely wrong. | 19:50 |
| rAad | 1/leave | 19:50 |
| a565634 | bekks: then can an applet have rw access to any file it wants, signed or unsigned? | 19:51 |
| Troy^ | DasEi: you new2ubuntu as well? is there a format change for the time? | 19:51 |
| ArchangelSe7en | hullo there ! | 19:51 |
| new2ubuntu | Troy^: that's where I'm at... digital clock settings and it has some weird formats for the settings... clock format: %R and tool tip format: %A %x | 19:51 |
| === Guest57807 is now known as Mohamed_Ahmed | ||
| DasEi | Troy^: not exactly new, but an autodidact, what do you change in F ? date-cmd is still same | 19:52 |
| bekks | a565634: Sure. | 19:52 |
| ArchangelSe7en | it is said that Ubuntu will be available on Smartphones by 2013 ? | 19:52 |
| LLStarks | how do i manage gnome3 user accounts from the terminal? | 19:52 |
| a565634 | bekks: thanks, but http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/security.html what about these distinctions? | 19:52 |
| ArchangelSe7en | I assume that there will be ROMs for every device out there or ... | 19:52 |
| ArchangelSe7en | LLStarks, adduser | 19:53 |
| LLStarks | i want to change my full name, but it crashes the desktop | 19:53 |
| DasEi | LLStarks: same as other surfaces, adduser, deluser .. and so on | 19:53 |
| bekks | a565634: Ask Oracle - it doesnt have anything to do with Ubuntu directly :) | 19:53 |
| bekks | ArchangelSe7en: LOL | 19:53 |
| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: and DasEi try %l:%M %P | 19:53 |
| LLStarks | DasEi, i only want to change the full name, not the login name | 19:53 |
| new2ubuntu | I love the terminal, it saves so much time... apt-get install whatever I need. | 19:54 |
| ArchangelSe7en | bekks, I'm a tech sompleton , and I assume that isnt correct ? | 19:54 |
| shihan | usermod -C "new name" username will do what your after | 19:54 |
| a565634 | bekks: I see, so if I allow my browser to run an applet, it can potentially access all my files right? isn't this bad? | 19:54 |
| LLStarks | thx | 19:54 |
| leslie_ | Troy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193322/ | 19:54 |
| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: i made the full switch to ubuntu a month ago. this system doesn't even have windows installed anymore. also have my linux server | 19:54 |
| bekks | ArchangelSe7en: Hold on, I am still laughing.... :D No, it isnt correct. And no, there will NEVER be ROMs for every device. | 19:54 |
| bekks | a565634: Sure. | 19:55 |
| Trijit | hi all | 19:55 |
| ArchangelSe7en | bekks, would you be kind and explain :) | 19:55 |
| shihan | err, sorry, usermod -c (lowercase c) | 19:55 |
| LLStarks | shihan, tx | 19:55 |
| new2ubuntu | this unit doesn't have windows on it either, none of my computer do except for one and it's only for office suite to set up presentations. | 19:55 |
| DasEi | LLStarks: you could edit the config-files, why not simply add / deluser ?? | 19:55 |
| bekks | ArchangelSe7en: Explain what? :) That most manufacturers will NOT allow anyone to have a closer view at their ROMs? | 19:56 |
| bekks | s/view/look/ | 19:56 |
| Troy^ | leslie_: is that router setup to support 802.11g and 802.11n seems as though your wireless card installed only supports as high as 802.11g i know alot of newer routers have options to specifically only be 802.11n and or 802.11n/802.11g compatability mode. | 19:56 |

| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: it is fairly easy hold on there is a guid | 19:58 |
| leslie_ | Troy, that I don't know, my mate leslie is a good mech engineer but knows very little about computers and networking. I will have to get in contact with the puter guy | 19:59 |

| new2ubuntu | thank you Troy^, this is the help for the clock settings I was looking at... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CustomizingTheClock | 20:02 |
| bekks | Brightgalrs: You cant. :) | 20:02 |
| ArchangelSe7en | bekks, maybe I read that wrong ? | 20:02 |
| xxiao | i need press ctrl-alt-del to force a reboot then press the big power button to shut it down | 20:02 |
| Brightgalrs | bekk: fuck :( | 20:03 |
| bekks | ArchangelSe7en: Maybe. Pretty sure actually. | 20:03 |
| leslie_ | Troy, I woouldn't dare go into the company router | 20:03 |
| shihan | Brightgalrs, maybe this would help u https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 20:03 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: Put the Ubuntu installer on the flash drive by following http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 20:03 |
| ArchangelSe7en | could it be teblet PC with ARM processors bekks ? | 20:03 |
| Troy^ | new2ubuntu: so i was right with %I:%M %p | 20:03 |
| guntbert | !ot | ArchangelSe7en | 20:03 |
| Tico | hello | 20:03 |
| ubottu | ArchangelSe7en: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 20:03 |
| Brightgalrs | Jordan_U: I've done that, the usb is not recognized as bootable | 20:03 |
| bekks | ArchangelSe7en: There is no ARM version of Ubuntu. | 20:03 |
| bekks | AFAIK. | 20:03 |
| shihan | there sure is an ubuntu for arm | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: Have you ever booted from USB on this machine? | 20:04 |
| shihan | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM | 20:04 |
| Brightgalrs | Jordan_U: Yes. But not while it was running arch linux | 20:04 |
| DasEi | bekks: just some upcoming news, but coming up (arm) | 20:04 |
| ArchangelSe7en | my apologies guntbert thought that IS Ubuntu-releted | 20:04 |
| ArchangelSe7en | I'll move it out | 20:04 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: you need to edit your bios boot device | 20:04 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: it's top priority | 20:05 |
| Troy^ | removable device? | 20:05 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: the flashdrive Im using, that is | 20:05 |
| guntbert | ArchangelSe7en: related, yes - but this channel is for ubuntu *support* only | 20:05 |
| Brightgalrs | yeah | 20:05 |
| nyRednek | ArchangelSe7en: there isn't an arm ubuntu *yet* | 20:05 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: and you followed that guide step by step in the url? for putting it on your usb drive? | 20:05 |
| shihan | i | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: What was the last bootable USB drive that did work on this netbook? | 20:06 |
| ArchangelSe7en | nyRednek, I know but that isnt what I'm confused about | 20:06 |
| shihan | i've been running ubuntu on arm for quite some time, there is mostly definitely ubuntu for ARM | 20:06 |
| ArchangelSe7en | note taken guntbert | 20:06 |
| Brightgalrs | Jordan_U: When it was running windows 7 | 20:06 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: the operating system would not affect boot order.. it is set by the bios | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: The OS installed on the machine has no bearing on what USB drive the machine can boot from. What was on the USB drive that you booted from? | 20:07 |
| fatfreddyscat | DasEi: thanks. It works now. I think I was missing lvm | 20:07 |
| Brightgalrs | Are you guys sure? | 20:07 |
| nyRednek | shihan: my bad...thought it was still in the alpa research stage...i was going to direct him to debian...sorry | 20:07 |
| Brightgalrs | I'm pretty sure I;ve read something about the usb kernal not working | 20:07 |
| Brightgalrs | the archlinux install was rather incomplete | 20:07 |
| Froward | my webcam gives an upside down image and the mic doesn't work >_< oh ubuntu. | 20:08 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: like we said that doesn't matter | 20:08 |
| Froward | I'm not requesting help, just bitching. Sorry. | 20:08 |
| int19h | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm | 20:08 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: nice to read (mknodes rather, it usually prompts if lvm2 isn't installed) | 20:08 |
| shihan | ubuntu for arm doesnt quite support as many architectures as debian, so in some cases, debian is a better choice | 20:08 |
| fatfreddyscat | or that. yeah. | 20:08 |
| Troy^ | what mobo or computer model Brightgalrs | 20:09 |
| fatfreddyscat | now I'm running an fsck. it's taking ages but seems to be progressing | 20:09 |
| fatfreddyscat | :) | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: The contents of the internal hard drive aren't even read when you boot a machine via USB. All the code needed for booting from USB is in the firmware of the device, installing Archlinux doesn't change the firmware at all. | 20:09 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^/Jordan_U: It's the same flashdrive that I used to get archlinux on it | 20:09 |
| Brightgalrs | uhhh | 20:09 |
| DasEi | fatfreddyscat: mounted ?? you have to run it just on the UNmounted mapper ??!!! | 20:09 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: Acer aspire one | 20:09 |
| Troy^ | did you format the usb drive before using pendrive? Brightgalrs | 20:10 |
| fatfreddyscat | yes. I am doing fsck /dev/mapper/diskname | 20:10 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: pendrive? | 20:10 |
| fatfreddyscat | but earlier that didn't even work. | 20:10 |
| nyRednek | fatfreddyscat: the format would be mkfs | 20:10 |
| fatfreddyscat | unmounted of course | 20:10 |
| BebopSteve | Why doesn't the 3d option work when docky is anywhere but the bottom? | 20:10 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: you used this guide right http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 20:10 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: Is pendrive similar to UNetbootin? | 20:10 |
| shihan | oh, i've got an aspire one, not a bad little netbook :) | 20:10 |
| DasEi | fine then , e2fsck -y /dev/mapper/whatever, and beforehad mount revealed it wasn't mounted, good crypting then | 20:11 |
| Troy^ | Brightgalrs: i assume not... follow that guide | 20:11 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: Ok will do | 20:11 |
| guntbert | shihan: please drop those off topic comments - they don't help here | 20:12 |
| shihan | rgr | 20:12 |
| DasEi | Brightgalrs: unetbootin let's you have extra space for persistent storage, but in the view of an bootable installer, effect is same | 20:12 |
| new2ubuntu | ok I now have my clock as 12 hour format. thank you | 20:12 |
| DasEi | Brightgalrs: there are other tolls around , like startupcreator (beat for exaxt name), and some distros can even be dd'ed/sync'd over | 20:13 |
| skroot | in term | 20:13 |
| DasEi | tools* | 20:13 |
| skroot | what are the folder with green backgrounds? | 20:14 |
| Brightgalrs | DasEi: ok thanks for the info | 20:14 |
| Brightgalrs | Troy^: The flashdrive is formatted like the guide says | 20:14 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: Can you try booting the USB drive on your Desktop machine to confirm that it was created properly? | 20:15 |
| Troy^ | ok now stick it in and turn it on.. if removeable drive is first in boot order it shoot boot, | 20:15 |
| Brightgalrs | Jordan_U: Ok Ill do it now | 20:15 |
| DasEi | skroot: green=executables, blue=dirs | 20:15 |
| Brightgalrs | err | 20:15 |
| DasEi | skroot: white=files | 20:15 |
| skroot | symlinks show as executables too? | 20:15 |
| DasEi | skroot: yes | 20:16 |
| skroot | ah | 20:16 |
| Jordan_U | Brightgalrs: If it doesn't boot from the Desktop either then you probably didn't create it properly and you should try again following exactly the instructions @ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows . If it *does* boot on your Desktop then you have a buggy BIOS and it might help to setup the drive to be bootable using grub (a manual process) since often computers that won't boot drives setup with ... | 20:16 |
| Jordan_U | ... syslinux will boot from drives setup with grub (and visa-versa). | 20:17 |
| shihan | Brightgalrs, Troy^ : btw, with the acer aspire one, you can hit f12 during post to get a boot selection screen thingame | 20:17 |
| BebopSteve | I'm sorry for "shopping," in a way, but this is driving me crazy. Can anyone advise regarding this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/185585/nvidia-twinview-and-window-placement | 20:17 |
| int19h | most distros iso's can be direclty dd'd to a usb/sd/mmc and work just fine, so long as your bios supports booting from that perticular device. | 20:18 |
| int19h | you dont usualy need all those crap apps like unet and pendrive | 20:18 |
| Jordan_U | int19h: It's surprisingly difficult (though possible) to do the equivalent of "dd" from Windows. | 20:19 |
| int19h | if yer in windows, http://sourceforge.net/projects/windd/ | 20:20 |
| Troy^ | shihan: thanks for the info. hopefully Brightgalrs notices it as well | 20:21 |
| chico39_ | someone knows the card is to quit smoking? http://reducercard.xopie.com | 20:21 |
| int19h | rawwrite used to be pretty good too | 20:21 |
| DasEi | int19h: I know, but recent 12.04 lubuntu failed, and I didn't want to drag people into casper first hand | 20:22 |
| DasEi | .. also it changes on 'buntu here and then, not so debian | 20:22 |
| potofcoffee | Hi. I upgraded my precise-amd64 install to quantal beta today. Everything went fine as far as the upgrade is concerned, but now I'm unable to log into unity because compiz segfaults. I first suspected my ati (fglrx) drivers, but I disabled them via jockey-text and still get a segfault. Any ideas? | 20:22 |

| int19h | http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.5.zip is a console one written from the ground up under gpl for windows | 20:23 |
| Troy^ | Tico: what .iso image did you put on the usb drive? | 20:24 |
| thor__ | hi | 20:25 |
| === Mike_ is now known as Guest84568 | ||
| Tico | Troy^: ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 20:25 |
| thor__ | guys i need to know if is possible install the gtk3 theme of win 7 in ubuntu 12.04 | 20:26 |
| int19h | Tico: try appending noacpi to the kernel arguments | 20:26 |
| Brightgalrs | Ok so its definatly a problem with the usb drie | 20:26 |
| Troy^ | Tico: Get your Ubuntu Live CD ready. The Live CD should work, but if you have trouble, try the Alternate Install CD. If you have a Core2 Duo Mac (as oppossed to the Core Duo), it is capable of using the AMD64 (64bit) CD otherwise you have to use the standard version. There is a lot of information about the good/bad of a 64bit install | 20:26 |
| Brightgalrs | errr | 20:26 |
| Brightgalrs | f;ashdrive | 20:27 |
| Tico | int19h: can i do it without booting ubuntu installer menu? | 20:27 |
| Troy^ | so Tico what processor is your mac using | 20:27 |
| Tico | Troy^: 2,5 GHz intel core i5 | 20:27 |
| int19h | tico, i bealive you can just type when the language choice comes up | 20:28 |
| Troy^ | Tico: i believe you need the alternate image.. and if you only have 4gb of ram 32bit may be another choice as well | 20:29 |
| Tico | int19h: i use 64-bit | 20:29 |
| Tico | i mean to Troy^ | 20:30 |
| tomreyn | Tico: if you have 4GB or RAM you want amd64. if the usb key doesn't work, try your HDD? | 20:30 |
| int19h | the problem is the acpi implementation on many macs | 20:30 |
| Tico | int19h: it doesn't come up the language selection | 20:30 |
| int19h | just pass the kernel the noacpi or acpi=no kernel argument | 20:30 |
| Troy^ | Tico: use the alternate .iso for 64bit | 20:30 |
| int19h | it just boots? | 20:30 |
| thor__ | guys how can I install a new theme at ubuntu 12.04? | 20:31 |
| tomreyn | int19h: he tried that last time he was here | 20:31 |
| dr_willis | thor__: for what desktop? | 20:31 |
| Tico | int19h: it boots, but it boots only to black installer menu not the grub menu, the white ubuntu logo | 20:31 |
| Tico | Troy^: is it same as ubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 20:31 |
| Troy^ | Tico: no | 20:32 |
| int19h | thats the menu, i think you hit "e" on that black meny | 20:32 |
| int19h | menu | 20:32 |
| thor__ | dr_willis gnome | 20:32 |

| opieng | Thats very fair, thanks, gordonjcp I was just was asking about advantages of kubuntu over ubunutu | 21:08 |
| gordonjcp | opieng: "kubuntu" has an extra letter k | 21:09 |

| gordonjcp | opieng: which is better, a Skoda or an Audi? | 21:09 |
| MonkeyDust | opieng type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and try it for a while to find out | 21:10 |
| gordonjcp | opieng: of course the answer is neither, really, the Skoda is more suitable if you want to be a taxi driver and the Audi is more suitable if you want to drive right up people's backsides and hog the outside lane of the motorway | 21:10 |

| JessD | leslie__ np | 22:05 |
| Meris | phonebook, if you want to play it by principle, you can return the DVD to the shop informing them that it is not a DVD_Video , since it does not conform to the DVD_Video standards. | 22:06 |
| Meris | The movie industry needs to be taught a lesson about standards compliance. | 22:07 |
| emx | what's the name of the application bar? http://www.edubuntu.org/sites/default/files/docimages/apps-precise/unity1_full.jpg | 22:08 |
| leslie__ | JessD, no, the same thing "Unable to connect" | 22:08 |

| Smackbook1 | dr_willis: you are right, sudo service lightdm start works. I can just set an alias to do this when I type startx. But I guess i'm just confused about the different chain of events between startx and lightdm start. lightdm start obviuosly starts an X server start also, are they just two different front ends to xinit? | 22:21 |
| Froward | nice one meris | 22:21 |

| NEone | I plan to make 3 partitions: "/", "/home", "swap". There are options of making them primary partitions or creating just one extended partition and build the other partitions within that one as logical volumes. Which way of those is the best? | 22:25 |
| emx | during the installation i could choose whether i want to pack all drivers into the initrd or if i want to pack only targeted drivers. can i redo this step on the installed system. | 22:26 |
| wilee-nilee | NEone, There is no better except in how youy want it. With 3 partitons as primaries you only have rom for one more primary. | 22:27 |
| wilee-nilee | room* | 22:27 |
| Meris | NEone, in general, try to use an extended partition for the installation of operating systems that don't care if they are installed on primary or logical drives, so you can always install another OS that *does* require a primary partition. | 22:27 |
| Deet` | anyone know how to connect to wifi from command line? or know where i can find out? | 22:27 |

| subman | Meris, and now it works by clicking on the icon. Very, very strange | 22:49 |
| wilee-nilee | PiNinja, This is ubuntu support, but I think you might get help in ##linux there are dual booters there that would probably be more helpful, or in ##windows ;) | 22:49 |
| PiNinja | wilee-nilee: Alright. | 22:50 |
| Meris | subman, Well, it does work. Maybe some cookie needed to reset itself or something similar. Flash Player is a black box and that is exactly the problem... | 22:50 |

| trism | lunaphyte: not really sure at this point, is hud-service running? is this unity-2d or unity-3d? | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: If you wish to discuss your mute please join #ubuntu-ops. | 23:25 |
| siriusone | hi | 23:26 |
| Meris | Deet`, if it exceeds the minimums by ahair you won't be able to run X-Windows. The console should be available though. | 23:26 |
| lunaphyte | trism: how can i see if it's unity-2d or unity-3d? | 23:26 |
| === angela is now known as angela- | ||
| lunaphyte | trism: hud-service appears to be running. | 23:27 |
| siriusone | can someone confirm that they are receiving this | 23:27 |
| siriusone | ? | 23:27 |
| MonkeyDust | siriusone you're in | 23:27 |
| siriusone | MonkeyDust thanks mate! | 23:27 |
| lunaphyte | oh, i've just noticed maybe another clue. all of the windows and dialogs are that sort of clunky, windows 95-ish look now too. | 23:27 |
| siriusone | I am trying out Centerim, it's a bit confusing. | 23:27 |
| trism | lunaphyte: is gnome-settings-daemon running? | 23:27 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: this is the drive http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=240 | 23:28 |
| trism | lunaphyte: echo $DESKTOP_SESSION; should tell you if you are in unity or unity-2d | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: How are you testing the drive's speed? | 23:28 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: rsync --progress -h -a <dir> <dir> | 23:28 |
| Meris | Deet`, try the safe video mode. However, the safe video mode is heavier on the CPU, because all gfx will be rendered by CPU alone. | 23:29 |
| siriusone | test | 23:29 |
| Deet` | meris: i have console, nothing else. has that been my problem this whole time? | 23:29 |
| Meris | siriusone, I'm receiving you loud and clear, proceeed. | 23:29 |
| siriusone | can I ask a silly question. What sort of terminal clients do you guys use for IM'ing and IRC? | 23:30 |
| Meris | Deet`, probably. There are distro's which are geared specifically to very old hardware, such as Puppy Linux, most are exclusively for the x86-platform though. | 23:30 |
| Deet` | ok, lemme see if it gives me a safe video option | 23:31 |
| Meris | Deet`, my Pentium3 lappy runs great on Puppy Wary | 23:31 |
| Deet` | if not, i'll go digging around yellowdog | 23:31 |
| MonkeyDust | siriusone irssi | 23:31 |
| siriusone | Monkey, for IM too? | 23:32 |
| Deet` | meris: the error i get on boot doesn't give me a safe video option | 23:32 |
| siriusone | Sry for the dumb questions, I am new to the CLI IM'ing thing. | 23:32 |
| Deet` | well it gives "run in low graphics mode for just one session" but that quits to console | 23:32 |

| akubfa9jf9ov2 | would you recommend please a good audio player? i'm coming from windows, using a lot of winamp, so something similar would be great, also needs to have eq and play flac | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: Do you have a spare partition on the drive? I'm curious to try writing to the drive directly via dd to rule out problems with the filesystem layer (but that can be dangerous, and requires an unused area of the drive for testing). | 23:32 |
| akubfa9jf9ov2 | dont want no flame war, just want recommendations | 23:33 |
| mutio | Troy^ // how is read speed for that drive? | 23:33 |
| Meris | Deet`, in that case use the Alternate version. Still, I think that Ubuntu 12.04 won't be viable option on your machine, not even the low-resource desktops will run properly. | 23:33 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: no there is no spare partition currently the drive is NTFS.. let's see mutio I'll transfer something from it | 23:33 |
| lunaphyte | trism: echo $DESKTOP_SESSION says "ubuntu" | 23:33 |
| Deet` | Meris: ok, i'll go looking around YellowDogs website | 23:33 |
| Deet` | thanks | 23:33 |
| Meris | Deet`, It doesn't hurt to try of course ;-) It *will* cost you time, however. | 23:33 |
| yakster_ | I use armok… but mostly XBMC | 23:33 |
| trism | lunaphyte: then should be unity-3d | 23:33 |
| ILikeMoose | akubfa9jf9ov2, try audacious | 23:34 |
| Meris | Deet`, good luck :-) | 23:34 |
| === siriusone2 is now known as siriusone | ||
| Deet` | thanks | 23:34 |
| lunaphyte | trism: gnome-settings-daemon is running | 23:34 |
| akubfa9jf9ov2 | ILikeMoose: thanks! will do | 23:34 |
| yakster_ | armok, vlc, xbmc, plex-media-server, subsonic…. | 23:34 |
| trism | lunaphyte: so hitting alt doesn't pop up the hud? or is this not what you are talking about | 23:34 |
| MonkeyDust | akubfa9jf9ov2 audious even has a winamp-mode | 23:34 |
| ILikeMoose | akubfa9jf9ov2, just make sure to switch the view to classic winamp interface | 23:35 |
| MonkeyDust | audacios* | 23:35 |
| akubfa9jf9ov2 | nice, thanks guys | 23:35 |
| akubfa9jf9ov2 | seeya | 23:35 |
| lunaphyte | trism: oh, sorry - no. when i press alt, the hud comes up yes. i didn't know what's what that was called. i'm referring to the menu bar at the top of the screen where the icons are on the right side for various things like battery, network, etc [as well as the window style too, it appears] | 23:36 |
| angela- | hi i whas eble to copy the config file from ngircd to a right thrble place but problem stil is i dont no how to make the config file from ngircd enyone a ide ware i can fint a god exemple how to right him/ | 23:36 |
| emx | how on earth can i move the close-, minimise- and maximise-button move from top left to top right in gnome? | 23:37 |
| cowsquad | Does anyone know how to fix the suspend bug on ubuntu 12.04 | 23:37 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U and mutio right now i'm using wget to download a 250mb bin file which i just tested on my internal drive at 5.7MB/s and now trying to wget it on my external and its at 517KB/s when it is done i'll try and rsync transfer to my internal drive and see what kind of read speeds i get | 23:38 |
| yakster_ | can anyone point me in the right direction here, i ahve 4 nas servers that are alyws on casue they are staticly mounted in fstab… how can i make them dynamic. 3 are Goflex-Home (1TB,2TB3TB) and 1 Airport extreme USB disk… | 23:38 |
| trism | lunaphyte: so you are missing the file/edit/help etc menus or are you missing the indicators on the right? | 23:40 |
| trism | lunaphyte: the window style is kind of odd that usually means gnome-settings-daemon crashed | 23:41 |
| lunaphyte | trism: the indicators are there, they're just not the same ones as were there initially. | 23:41 |
| trism | lunaphyte: unless you removed light-themes | 23:41 |
| trism | lunaphyte: do you have a screenshot? | 23:41 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: could it be usbmount that is what i used to get it to mount i believe. | 23:41 |
| lunaphyte | trism: light-themes is installed. let me see if i can get a screenshot | 23:42 |
| Troy^ | that is weird | 23:43 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: sent 105.65M bytes received 31 bytes 16.25M bytes/sec | 23:43 |
| leslie_ | Still pulling out my hair, I can see myself connected to the router, but cannot go an inch further, and don't know how I should go about connecting. les tells me that there is no proxy here I am lost completely | 23:44 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: so the read speeds seem respectful. so why are the write speeds so slow? mutio | 23:44 |
| treeprogram_ | Hi, in Ubuntu, how do I create a shortcut that will switch to desktop | 23:44 |
| treeprogram_ | ? | 23:45 |
| lunaphyte | trism: http://oi45.tinypic.com/oacg1g.jpg | 23:45 |
| treeprogram_ | I | 23:45 |
| Meris | !desktop | treeprogram_ | 23:45 |
| ubottu | treeprogram_: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together".

| mutio | Troy^ // it could either be because it's ntfs, which runs slow on linux, or else because you don't have usb 3.0 support | 23:45 |
| treeprogram_ | Meris where do I type this? | 23:45 |
| Meris | !enter | treeprogram_ | 23:45 |
| ubottu | treeprogram_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:45 |
| treeprogram_ | ubottu sorry it was an accident | 23:46 |
| ubottu | treeprogram_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:46 |
| Troy^ | probablly because it is ntfs mutio you think? | 23:46 |
| trism | lunaphyte: what is: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme; | 23:46 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, never mind, I gave the wrong command to ubottu, sorry for the confusion. | 23:46 |
| treeprogram_ | Meris can you elaborate? I am a newbie to the linux/debian environment | 23:47 |
| mutio | Troy^ // maybe because of ntfs. but there's no safe way to test if you don't have some other partition on the drive | 23:47 |
| Troy^ | mutio: i can back up the data on the 3tb and format the whole thing ext4 | 23:47 |
| trism | lunaphyte: I'm guessing the problem is that the icons are weird, looks like it is the gnome or hicolor icon theme (icon-theme might be interesting to check too) | 23:47 |
| Smackbook1 | is there a way to use diff so that it detects two files with the same content as differing only in their names? rather than seeing them as two seperate files? | 23:47 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, this has nothing to do with linux/ debian, as Unity is specific to Ubuntu., however the shortcut to show the Desktop is Ctrl + Super + D (Super is the left Windows key) | 23:48 |
| Smackbook1 | would git diff be better? | 23:48 |
| Areckx | How do I install this version of mplayer? MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team | 23:48 |
| mutio | Troy^ // that sounds like a lot of effort | 23:48 |
| Troy^ | meh there is only like 12gb currently on the drive mutio | 23:48 |
| MonkeyDust | Areckx if it's not in the repos, it's not supported here | 23:48 |
| Smackbook1 | Troy^: if you do that, be sure to use rsync to do the copy | 23:48 |
| Troy^ | Smackbook1: yes doing it now | 23:48 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/65971/what-is-the-show-desktop-keyboard-shortcut | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: if you need newer versions of stuff. serach for a ppa for it. | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | Areckx | 23:49 |

| Jordan_U | Troy^: Let's confirm that just the write speed is bad. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/mountpoint/test.file bs=1M count=1k". | 23:49 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, I've just tested Ctrl + LeftWindows (or Cmd key if you are using a Mac keyboard like me) + D does work | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | treeprogram_: press and hold the SUPER key to see a shortcut help page. | 23:50 |
| Areckx | I need to downgrade | 23:50 |
| Troy^ | ok Jordan_U | 23:50 |
| Areckx | where can I compile the source code of that speciic version?> | 23:50 |
| yshi | n you boot to a pcie ssd? | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: find the source.. start compiling.. | 23:50 |
| Areckx | dr_jesus:: where? | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: if an older verison is in the repos you can pin it. | 23:50 |
| Areckx | ... | 23:50 |
| Areckx | HOW? | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: i would guess the mplayer homepage perhaps. | 23:50 |
| Areckx | what do I tye? | 23:50 |
| Areckx | type | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | !pin | Areckx | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Areckx: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:50 |
| treeprogram_ | Meris Super key means the left directional key on a Windows keyboard | 23:50 |
| yshi | i installed from dvd, and after reboot i get "error: unknown filesystem" | 23:51 |
| Areckx | so what do I type to downgrade my version? | 23:51 |
| Areckx | do I purge first? | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | Areckx: i would look in synaptic and see if the older version is even in the repos. | 23:51 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: so i'm using a file that i have right | 23:51 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, not exactly the Super key is the left key on your keyboard with a Windows symbol on it. | 23:52 |
| treeprogram_ | FYI, the super key is the key with the Windows logo on it on a Windows keyboard | 23:52 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: i made the mistake of starting a rsync backup | 23:53 |
| lunaphyte | gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme; says "adwaita" | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_%28keyboard_button%29 | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: By using dd with "if=/dev/zero" you're grabbing zeroes generated on the fly (essentially unlimited read speed) so that you know your bottleneck is actually the writing of the file. | 23:53 |
| wan26 | do any keyboards come with the ubuntu logo already on the keyboard? [ awaits ot fans] | 23:53 |
| trism | lunaphyte: ah hah, try going to System Settings/Appearance and set it to Ambiance | 23:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Troy^ mistake? rsync is what i use, too | 23:53 |
| trism | lunaphyte: alternatively you could make sure gnome-themes-standard is installed so you could successfully use that theme | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | In most non-Windows operating systems the super key is mapped to the Windows key and is the preferred term for that key.[3][citation needed] | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | wan26: yes..or you can buy stickers | 23:54 |
| wan26 | thanks, i think i will | 23:54 |
| Meris | treeprogram_, it is also referred to as Mod4 | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | wan26 contact your local ubuntu comunity to see if they can provide a sticker with logo | 23:55 |
| === siriusone1 is now known as siriusone | ||
| lunaphyte | trism: aha - setting it to ambiance seemed to do the trick | 23:55 |
| wan26 | didnt know that was possible , awesome. thnks | 23:55 |
| trism | lunaphyte: fixed the icons too? | 23:55 |
| lunaphyte | trism: just checking a bit - seems to have though, yeah. | 23:56 |
| trism | lunaphyte: excellent | 23:56 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: i'm running it now but BS=1M and count=1K i assume that is one gb | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: Yes, that is 1 GiB. If it's taking too long you can stop it early with ctrl+C and still get statistics. | 23:57 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: yea it is taking quite a while lol | 23:57 |
| lunaphyte | trism: thanks much for the help. gnome-themes-standard wasn't installed, but i was able to switch to the ambiance theme. what did you mean by successfully use that theme? | 23:57 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: 142606336 bytes (143 MB) copied, 106.73 s, 1.3 MB/s | 23:57 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: it is just the write speed | 23:57 |
| Troy^ | Jordan_U: since there isn't much on the ext and the write speeds are decent i'll back up what is there and format it ext4' | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Troy^: Yup, appears so. It would be nice to be able to check if it's a bottleneck in ntfs-3g, but if it's not then rezing the ntfs partition from this computer will take a *long* time. Can you resize the partition from Windows or another working machine (after backing up anything important) to test? If it's a lot of trouble then it's probably not worth doing. | 23:59 |
| trism | lunaphyte: adwaita is the default gnome 3 theme, but unity/ubuntu uses Ambiance/unico by default, so adwaita isn't installed | 23:59 |
