sahadThe package system is broken  Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f06:30
sahadthis is the error message am getting06:30
sahadwhen i trie to update06:30
MartijnVdSsahad: which program do you use? the software centre?06:30
sahadyes06:30

MartijnVdS(earlier)06:31

oimonmorning chaps. i have a document that states an industry standard % for incremental changes for backups in the enterprise, can't find any source for this - anyone know of one?09:13
hooverHi folks09:40
hooverI exchanged my ancient nv gt8800 with a gt520 yesterday, since then I've had a couple of spurious reboots in 12.04.1... any idea why?09:41
hoovernv driver version is 37xsomething09:41
hooverI don't think it's power consumption, I guess the gt8800 would draw a lot more power than the 520.09:42
OliIs the card sat in well?09:42
OliAnd can you double-check the version of the driver. 37something doesn't exist.09:43
czajkowskiaquarius: and crash goes gwibber on 12.10 :(09:47

TheOpenSourcererI use Hotot - very nice (and lightweight) compared to Gwibberish10:13

oimoni don't use a client anymore10:14
oimoni just check twitter on my phone while i'm waiting for the tube10:14
oimonstanding at the only bit you can get a signal10:14
hooveroli: yep, card is set in and fastened with a screw10:15
hooverOli: Driver version is "ubuntu current" ;-) let me check10:16

Olihoover: Nothing's jumping out at me. I agree it's probably not power-related and the driver *should* be fine as far as I know.10:23
OliYou could upgrade it to 304.43 with the x-swat ppa but there are no guarantees that's any better.10:25
czajkowskidavmor2: is your envelope thingy gone10:29
czajkowskipopey: aye I knot tis not default.10:29
davmor2czajkowski: no my indicator-messages is still in place10:29
davmor2popey: I'm assuming those bugs are related to the new gnome ubuntu cd10:30
popeyi care not then10:30
czajkowskidavmor2: hmm mine is gone10:31
davmor2czajkowski: check it is installed10:32
davmor2czajkowski: or better still sudo apt-get purge indicator-messages && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop indicator-messages and see if it was an upgrade issue10:34
davmor2czajkowski: other than that pick on gord not his fault I just like to see him squirm10:34
oimoni've been using 304.43 without issue (different card though)10:35
czajkowskiahh10:36
davmor2popey: mc-launcher top app for last month10:36
directhexgwibber was nice once, then it just got heavier and heavier10:41
hooverOli: yep I'll do some more testing, the machine apparently survived the night (12h uptime)10:41
davmor2directhex: I found the version in 12.10 to be a lot more responsive I think it has been on a diet with the port process maybe10:44
cliftontsHi everyone10:45
davmor2cliftonts: hello10:46
cliftontsI've found an odd quirk with 12.10, thought I'd pop on and see if anyone else had it etc10:46
cliftontsI've got an old laptop with a broadcom card in it. The card needs to be manually enabled with terminal commands before it works because of the driver issues.10:47
cliftontsBut this time when I did so it didn't appear to work. There was nothing in the networks list at all.10:47
cliftontsI added the network I was connecting to into the network list using the edit screen and it connected up straight away, the networks all showed up and it's worked fine ever since10:48
cliftontsI just thought it's odd, since rebooting after installing the drivers usually leaves you with a fully working system and I can see how people may be confused by this new behavious10:49
cliftonts*behaviour10:49
cliftontsThanks guys, that really helps!10:55
czajkowskicliftonts: or be patient10:58
czajkowskipeople could in fact be working :)10:58
cliftontsReally? I find that to be a very bad habit. Try to avoid it if I can!10:58
cliftontsI was expecting some sort of response, even something off topic10:59
BigRedSgenerally, if your expecting network manager to do the right thing you're probably going to be surprised10:59
cliftontsI was assuming that not everybody on here is going to be at work11:00
cliftontsAnd that not everybody on here is working in IT11:00
cliftontsSystem program problem detected - Do you want to report the problem now?11:04
cliftontsThat feature is a great idea but it gets old VERY quickly when the machine is in a bad mood!11:04
davmor2popey: on quantal do you know how the new addition drivers thing is meant to work?  ie when installing in virtualbox jockey used to say to install the additional drivers for vbox but the new addition drivers lists nothing11:04
popeyvirtualbox driver is broken in 12.10 iirc11:04
davmor2popey: ah that might explain it then11:05
popeyneeds updating for next x i think11:05
popeyfeel free to poke people!11:05
cliftontspopey: Any chance you could take a quick read of my issue above and tell me if this is a known issue or just my pc?11:06
* davmor2 pokes christel and czajkowski cause popey told me to....../me wonders off nonchalantly whistling11:06
popeycliftonts, you shouldn't have to manually edit to add a network11:08
popeyit should find them11:08
davmor2cliftonts: have you had a look to see if there is a bug for it, if not that might be a good place to start, if you don't see one then it might be your machine but you should still file a bug, but the broadcom driver is a binary blob so there is nothing we can do about it11:08
popeysometimes broadcom chips are slow to scan though, so they don't show up immediately11:08
cliftontspopey: It does find them but it refused to until I added the first one manually11:09
popeymaybe it would have done if you waited longer :)11:09
popeyor it could be a bug11:09
cliftontsAnd bare in mind I'm used to doing that procedure and I've never believed it to have gone wrong before11:09
popeybut that's not intended behaviour11:09
davmor2cliftonts: once you installed the driver did you reboot?11:09
cliftontsPerhaps I should re-install and really sit back and watch it11:10
cliftontsyes davmor211:10
cliftontsI'm trying to navigate launchpad but I've used it so infrequently I'm a bit lost! lol11:12
cliftontsNope, I've got no idea how to just look at bugs for 12.1011:14
davmor2cliftonts: just use google and "ubuntu bugs launchpad broadcom"  and then sift through the results11:17
cliftontsI'll have a browse later I think. I should really get back to work. I'll re-install the system and try it again, this time leaving it for an extra long time before giving up on it11:18
czajkowskihttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta11:19

czajkowskiyou're welcome cliftonts11:23

oimonrobert kryten llewellyn is complaining on his feed that he is bombarded with "use ubuntu" comments every time he has a tech question13:02

dwatkinspopey: I was looking for an ancient page about running a secondary X server, and found an entry on commandlinefu.com which cites the Ubuntu UK podcast as a related site :)13:25
shaunooh gosh, I used to have that working.  :0 on nvidia dualhead and :1 on the composite tvout.13:26
BigRedSoimon: it's hard to argue that there's a monopoly going on13:26
BigRedSI'd blame marketing largely13:26
popeydwatkins, they link to us on every page :D13:27
dwatkinspopey: haha ok13:27
dwatkinsshauno: yeah, I remember reading about someone who had :0 for himself, and :1 for his kids to play games on; we were discussing in the office having a honeypot X server for someone who might come along and try to mess with your machine if it's not locked13:28
popeywe frequently run multiple x servers13:28
popeythats what happens when you switch user13:28
dwatkinsOpenSuSE had a neat mechanism of creating an X session for each remote user13:29
dwatkinsI think it was via VNC13:29
oimonxdmcp used to be the way to do it13:31
oimone.g. http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s2-trouble-remotex.html13:31
dwatkinsis that where you run the server and connect remotely to an X client running your actual apps?13:31
dwatkinsah yes, -query13:31
dwatkinsfirst unix machine I used was a dumb X terminal :D13:32
AlanBellyeah, sad that it is so broken these days13:32
dwatkinsI assumed there were simply more efficient ways to remotely display now13:32
oimonon solaris i used to do it quite a bit13:32
oimoni use freenx nowadays13:32
oimonbut it's slightly different, but cool in that you can resume/suspend sessions13:33
dwatkinswe used to boot the X Terminals off a separate system when the local server was down, you had to know the hexadecimal equivalent of the remote machine's IP address, but it allowed you to get work done when the rest of the room was unable to function :)13:33
oimonand highly efficient bandwidth13:33
dwatkinsyeah, NX seems to be the fastest for what I use it for, over my ADSL connection13:33
TheOpenSourcererssh -X13:33
oimondwatkins, i used to used NCD dumb diskless soplaris terminals13:33
oimonthey rocked13:33
oimonthey ran an X display on the terminal13:34

oimonah. good old days. they could fall on the floor and be OK13:35
oimonunlike my pc yesterday which fell over and i lost all data13:35
dwatkinsI had all my applications set to start at login with specific places on the display13:36
oimonyep :D13:36
dwatkinswe compiled fvwm so we could use it instead of whatever the default was13:36
oimonand if the X display crashed the titlebar disappeared, just like compiz :D13:36
oimondefault was openwindows which was awesome13:37
oimonfvwm is based off it13:37
oimonover 10yr ago now13:37
oimonthe 90s was fun13:37
dwatkinsah yes, I rel fvwm[2]13:38
dwatkinsoops, I meant to write that I really liked it13:38
* mgdm used fvwm2 in Uni13:38
dwatkinslittle did I know I'd end up supporting 4Dwm for a living ;)13:38
mgdmthe machines had KDE of some sort on, too, but they were too slow13:38
dwatkinsI still run xplanet to this day, as many of the fvwm screenshots use13:39

andrewsHey all - would anyone be able to tell me, roughly, how to connect my brand new installation of 11.04 (latest didnt work very well) laptop to my works windows 2003 server network (I know my unser names, the domain name etc I just dont know how to 'get there')13:49
BigRedSwhat do you mean by 'connect'?13:50
BigRedSfilesharing? AD? printers?13:50
AlanBellin nautilus go to file-connect to server, change from public FTP to windows share and fill in the details13:51
oimonandrews, do you mean login to the pc using your AD credentials?13:51
andrewsNot sure BigReds - Ive no idea, I usually connect to the network with a windows based user name and password, which gets me the shared drives and my outlook emails etc.  I just want to be able to do whatever is nearest to that on this ubuntu laptop - which I have got connected via ethernet cable to our works network ports13:53
andrewsOur IT guys love the look of ubuntu and are keen to see it working (one is stood over my shoulder at present) though they know nothing about it13:53
diplo~Anyone play with Samba much ?13:56
diplo@ 10.04 stage or maybe earlier there was software that let you auth13:57
oimonandrews, you can do some quite tight integration, but in the least you should be able to open the file manager and click connect to server, choose windows share and enter your user/domain/password/server13:57
* diplo googles13:57
oimonlikewise13:57
AlanBellandrews: getting stuff to talk to exchange can be non-trivial13:57
oimoncentrify13:57

oimonlinux mint failed to install on my desktop the other day..i thought they nicked a lot of ubuntu stuff..obviously not enough. not even the / partition was bootable so it would never boot. i gave up when it that still didn't work after fixing that14:01

diploSep 12 15:26:33 asl-elecbase nmbd[3709]:   Error - should be sent to WINS server14:14
diploGot lot's of servers getting filled with that14:14
diploIt's all coming from a customer site that we are permanently VPN'd into14:15
diploI can't find a good result as to why it's publishing from the customers site to lot's of our dev servers14:15
diploI'd understand if it was between 2 machines both running wins or pushing it both ways, but we are only receiving those requests to our servers14:16
oimondoes broadcast traffic travel across the vpn?14:16

oimonintentionally?14:16
diploIf I could have better google foo I could find a better solution14:16
diploNope, well I haven't really checked the setup if I am honest14:17

oimon?14:17
diploIdevelop mainly, but I'm finding it hard to debug as most of our /var/log/messages are getting filled with this14:17
oimon"Ensure that your XP system knows where to find the WINS server"14:17
diployeah, I read that one, so could be the clients aren't set up correctly at the customer sites, what I don't understand is why non wins servers are getting the data to there messages file ?14:19
=== alexander is now known as Guest37051
diploNot sure if we still require a wins server either14:20
oimonprob not since dns will resolve things for you. there's an order that windows machines try to resolve in14:20
diploUse of WINS (either Samba WINS or MS Windows NT Server WINS) is highly recommended14:20
diplofrom Samba doc, but it doesn't explain very well why it is 'highly recommended' :)14:21
bigcalmI do wish that "YouTube personal digests" didn't kill Thunderbird :(14:21
oimondiplo, it appears always on samba machines?14:21
diploIt's off by default according to samba manual i read earlier14:22
diploSo someone has turned it on I'm guessing.14:22
diploGoing to turn it off and restart samba, see if that improves things14:23
oimontestparm will dump your samba server settings14:23
diploHmm, well that made 0 difference14:24
oimondid you restart nmbd?14:24
oimonor just smbd14:25

ali1234has anyone ever done this genealogy stuff?17:52
jacobwi have dovecot working with mysql on 10.0417:53
ali1234i'm looking at gramps and it looks ok but a bit like 1990s shareware17:53
diplojacobw: yeah i did as well17:53
davmor2ali1234: and that is the updated version17:54
ali1234i want something that works like web 2.017:54
diploupgraded now, and some configs etc have hanged and a few guides not changed some of that17:54
ali1234like you tag people in photos etc17:54
ali1234drag a box around them17:54
ali1234like facebook for genealogy17:54
ali1234but not some "cloud" thing17:54
ali1234like maybe i could set up a diaspora server and make an account for all the people17:56
davmor2ali1234: gramps is the only one to use on linux everything else sucks, there are a load of web based ones but they are fairly expensive iirc17:56
ali1234or maybe there is a mediawiki plugin or something, that adds these features to it?17:56
ali1234basically i just want a wikipage for each person's bio, with autogenerated skeleton pages with relationships auto filled, and photo tagging with auto galleries17:57
davmor2ali1234: you can add photo's to a person in your tree in gramps as I understand it,  Big Ron would be the person to talk to really about it though but he is rarely on irc nowadays17:57
ali1234yes you can17:58
ali1234but you can't do it by "tagging" them like you do on facebook or G+17:58
ali1234you add the image to the person rather than adding the person (people) to the image17:58
ali1234so imagine a group shot17:58
ali1234you have to add that to each person in the image17:58
ali1234and then there is no record of who is who17:59
ali1234i have a lot of photos with like 20 people in them17:59
davmor2ali1234: crap outta luck then dude I think they all work pretty much the same way17:59
ali1234there's actually an open feature request for this in gramps17:59
ali1234maybe i can program an add-on18:00
ali1234to merge a web gallery type thing, and have it pull the list of names available for tagging from gramps18:00
ali1234it is python, so should be quite easy18:00
Azelphurali1234: so I just found out that nvidia implemented BaseMosaic and soft limited it to 3 monitors18:00
AzelphurI gave a couple of nvidia employees a verbal beating over it \o/18:01
ali1234i have no idea what that means18:01
Azelphurali1234: proper multi monitor support across multiple cards, what I've been waiting for for years.18:01
mgdmYou're good at your 'verbal beating' thing of late18:01
Azelphurhehe18:02
Azelphurmgdm: I gave someone else a verbal beating recently?18:02
mgdmsomeone from eBay, someone from Amazon...?18:02
ali12343 monitors is better18:03
ali1234they only support 2 on most old cards18:03
Azelphurmgdm: haha, good point :P18:04
Azelphurali1234: yea, but 295 was bugged and the limit was removed, 304 works18:05
Azelphurso it seems like they've literally just imposed an arbitrary limit to force people to buy newer hardware18:05
ali1234time to patch it then18:05
