| heath | Hey, I have an Asus ralink wireless pci card. Are there drivers for this? | 00:02 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: more than likely. What's the ralink chip ID? | 00:03 |
| heath | How do I find that out? | 00:03 |
| Kamilion|2 | lspci would probably help. :) | 00:03 |
| heath | I have that up | 00:04 |
| heath | 5592? | 00:04 |
| extropy | it's always lspci ;) | 00:04 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: looks like it works with the ralink 2860 series driver? | 00:04 |
| heath | how did you find that out so quick? I googled for a while | 00:05 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: I read at many times the rate of the average human. | 00:05 |
| GunArm | Kamilion|2: i didn't see what you said in time, and taskkilled 'tasksel' which left locks on files and stuff, so I rebooted the server and ran 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' which set up php5 libhtml apache mysql and a few other packages, I went back into tasksel and it showed lampp checked (installed), should I feel reasonably secure that the setup is done? | 00:06 |
| heath | Kamilion|2, is there an apt-get install for that? | 00:06 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: also looks like RT73 might support it in kernel 3.2+ | 00:06 |
| wellwhy | Noobuntu, I still cant open Gnome-Tweak-Shell | 00:06 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: could be you're lacking firmware? | 00:06 |
| wellwhy | Well It has happened but nothing has changed | 00:07 |
| wellwhy | it still is the same | 00:07 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy : I haven't tried it on Precise yet, I will let you know if I am able to , give me ur email id | 00:07 |
| jarray52 | I'm having trouble with the microphone in Skype on Ubuntu 10.04. There's a lot of conflicting advice when I run a Google search. Is it best to disable pulseaudio? | 00:08 |
| wellwhy | you mean, just my email? Or some kind of id? | 00:08 |
| Noobuntu | ur email | 00:08 |
| Noobuntu | jarray52: don't use Skype -its evil | 00:08 |
| heath | Kamilion|2, what do you mean lacking firmware? | 00:08 |
| jarray52 | Noobuntu: Interviewer wants to call on Skype. I don't have much choice. | 00:09 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: you may need a firmware image for the device, if it doesn't include a flash chip on the board itself. Ralink's notoriously cheap. | 00:09 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: many wireless adapters have removed their flash chips and require their firmware to be loaded by the drivers interacting with them | 00:10 |
| Noobuntu | jarray52: hmm..really sorry - Skype is one bad piece of software, especially on Linux | 00:10 |
| Kamilion|2 | jarray52: the problem is likely not with pulseaudio, but with the ALSA drivers for your card. | 00:11 |
| jarray52 | Kamilion|2: What's the workaround for this problem? | 00:12 |
| Kamilion|2 | jarray52: try updating to the latest skype beta that has direct pulseaudio support (versus skype 2.x for linux using pulseaudio's ALSA passthrough/emulation/whateveritis | 00:12 |
| heath | Kamilion|2, so is there no super easy install for this? | 00:12 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: *shrug* I have no experience with that paticular model; only general experience with Ralinks. | 00:13 |
| heath | is there no easy was with ralinks? | 00:13 |
| Kamilion|2 | heath: Most of the older ones I have 'just work' now. (that was not always the case) | 00:15 |
| === Roasted is now known as roasted | ||
| jarray52 | Kamilion|2: I have skype version 4.0.0.8 | 00:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | jarray52: then removing pulseaudio is only going to make things worse, as I've heard skype 4.x no longer has direct support for ALSA, but uses libpulse instead. | 00:15 |
| blackshirt | skype works bad on linux | 00:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | no -- skype just plain works bad. | 00:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | What do you expect from Microsoft software? Reliability? | 00:16 |
| blackshirt | :d | 00:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | jarray52: anyway -- there this thing, I've heard of it but never seen one... they called it a 'tele phone'... some weird thing you plug into the wall. Archaic, I know, but perhaps you might consider tracking one down to deal with your interviewer :3 | 00:18 |

| client_alive | hey, just a curious thing - is there any way to open a new tab and cd to a location but from the command line? Using lxterminal. I know about ^t and how to do from the gui of that terminal but I wonder if there is a command I can issue that will open a new tab. | 00:38 |
| histo1 | client_alive: you have ctrl+altF1-F6 as ttys is that what you mean? | 00:40 |
| histo1 | client_alive: if you want tabs in a tty or split screen I would install screen and use that. | 00:41 |
| === histo1 is now known as histo | ||
| client_alive | histo1: not exactly. what I was wondering is if there is a command I can type on the comand line that will open a new tab | 00:41 |
| histo | client_alive: in what? | 00:41 |
| OerHeks | it used to be: gnome-terminal --tab (for a new tab) | 00:41 |
| histo | client_alive: are you actually in a tty or in a terminal? | 00:42 |
| client_alive | well, right now I'm using lxterminal but could use a different terminal | 00:42 |
| client_alive | in lxterminal | 00:42 |
| OerHeks | try lxterminal --tab ? | 00:42 |
| histo | client_alive: try lxterminal --tab or man lxterminal may show the option to open a new tab. Ctrl+t will do it too | 00:42 |
| histo | client_alive: sorry maybe ctrl+shift+t for that keyboard shortcut | 00:43 |
| AcidPoison | hello | 00:44 |
| client_alive | from the lxterminal man page the thing looks pretty skimpy (only about 4 options you can use with it). | 00:44 |
| client_alive | lxterminal --t or lxterminal --tab do nothing but bring up the help page | 00:44 |
| tiglionabbit | What do I need to install so vlc can encode mp4v? | 00:46 |
| Kamilion|2 | ClientAlive: apt-get install gnome-terminal? | 00:46 |
| client_alive | histo: prolly I'd have to use a different terminal that's more complete. The reason it seemed desireable was if you string more then one command with that. Say, for instance you want to cd to a directory and open a file in nano all in another tab. So you write out a command on the command line of the tab you are in and poof! there it ALL is. | 00:46 |

| Kamilion|2 | ClientAlive: they're both libvte based, so there's not much difference | 00:46 |

| bazhang | tiglionabbit, get handbrake | 00:47 |
| bazhang | !handbrake | tiglionabbit | 00:47 |
| ubottu | tiglionabbit: handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr | 00:47 |
| client_alive | Kamilion|2: I see | 00:47 |
| client_alive | well I'll check around, thx for the input | 00:47 |
| tiglionabbit | bazhang, no it has to be vlc | 00:49 |
| bazhang | tiglionabbit, why | 00:49 |
| tiglionabbit | bazhang, has to be streaming | 00:50 |
| zykotick9 | tiglionabbit: you believe you can stream (and encode at the same time) to mp4, good luck with that. | 00:50 |
| tiglionabbit | zykotick9, no, I'm streaming it into an asf container :P | 00:51 |
| histo | client_alive: I would look into screen it's a wonderfull app that can do what you want and much more. | 00:51 |
| tiglionabbit | actually, what I really want is msmpeg4v3 | 00:51 |
| blackshirt | i don't know what is mp4v is? | 00:51 |
| bazhang | http://wiki.videolan.org/MPEG-4 check the example tiglionabbit | 00:52 |
| client_alive | histo: I thought screen was a window manager (as in - effected the entire system). No? | 00:52 |
| tiglionabbit | I'm doing that but the mp4v encoder isn't found for some reason | 00:52 |
| tiglionabbit | I think my setup is screwed up somehow | 00:53 |
| zykotick9 | client_alive: lol, i would say screen is my favourite "window manager" but the WM i'm using is awesome. (screen is for terminal programs) | 00:53 |
| blackshirt | lol | 00:53 |
| client_alive | zykotick9: right on. If I'd known that I would have gotten it long before. I looked at it once on wikipedia but must have misunderstood what it is. thx :) | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | client_alive: screen is amazing!!! | 00:54 |
| client_alive | sounds like it | 00:54 |
| rds | hai guys , what is this operator called (->) ?? | 00:56 |
| GunArm | is it possible to alias apt-get to apt-get -y ? | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | Which operator? :) you the > ? | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | GunArm: yes.. | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | GunArm: but may notbe a good idea. | 00:56 |
| blackshirt | i think yes | 00:56 |
| rds | dr_willis, -> in php ? | 00:56 |
| GunArm | but you have to type sudo infront so alias doesnt work, and you cant do alias 'sudo apt-get'='sudo apt-get -y' | 00:56 |
| tiglionabbit | GunArm, of course | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: s/but may not/is not/ | 00:57 |
| rds | dr_willis, (->) in php ? | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | rds: i dont do php. i suggest finding a php guide. | 00:57 |

| redwarriors25 | sir i have a problem in my ubuntu ican t log in as a superuser always permission denied | 00:59 |
| bazhang | redwarriors25, use sudo | 00:59 |
| redwarriors25 | sudo then | 01:00 |
| usr13 | !sudo | redwarriors25 | 01:00 |
| ubottu | redwarriors25: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:00 |
| bazhang | redwarriors25, there is NO need to login as root | 01:00 |

| redwarriors25 | but the problem i didnt know the password | 01:01 |
| tiglionabbit | bazhang, why? | 01:01 |
| bazhang | tiglionabbit, there is no root account enabled. use sudo | 01:01 |

| usr13 | Yea, well, maybe you would like a different Desktop Environment? Try xfce4 ? | 01:08 |
| bazhang | !notunity | sambagirl | 01:08 |
| ubottu | sambagirl: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:08 |

| simo_n | hi guys , just moved thhe wubi install with bcbc script and instruction from the forum, the old used partirion still not empy , what i should do with it ? i created new partitions when i moved it | 01:08 |
| bazhang | simo_n, was the move successful? | 01:09 |
| simo_n | yes | 01:09 |
| sambagirl | i actually located a way to load all kinds of different desktop managers | 01:09 |
| usr13 | sambagirl: Take a look at http://xubuntu.org/ Maybe that would be more to your liking. | 01:09 |
| sambagirl | i'm going to play with them | 01:09 |
| usr13 | sambagirl: if so, just do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 01:09 |
| simo_n | i updated it and updated the grub | 01:09 |
| cornell | Good evening all | 01:09 |
| bazhang | simo_n, so use gparted live cd for the other partition, either for storage, or resize existing | 01:09 |

| sambagirl | i would not consider it trivial at all. that should be an option that new users "not me ofcourse" but new people unexperienced with unix/linux would have as an installation option and there should be a sample during installation that they can experience to better make a initial decision. | 01:15 |

| Jak_Atackka | bazhang, there are no additional drivers. Driver support for the Intel HD 4000 is very sparse | 01:19 |
| bazhang | sambagirl, install from where | 01:19 |

| cornell | Ah, thanks bazhang. I'd looked about before, didn't find it. Right (or was it left) clicking on the icon in the upper right of the box with my userid and password request gets me the list. | 01:20 |
| cornell | Just to confirm my understanding... XFCE and Gnome are GUI systems, window managers(?). The underlying filesystem, installed software, etc. remains and is available (easy or difficult) from either. Correct? | 01:22 |
| bazhang | cornell, DE (desktop environments) | 01:22 |
| marshall | i would like to ssh into my server without having to type my password, but I've added my id_rsa.pub to my account's authorized keys on the server and I still have to type my password. why? | 01:22 |
| Daekdroom | cornell, they are desktop environments, and yes, the underlying filesystem and software is available from either. | 01:23 |

| sambagirl | how can i get to gnome 2? | 01:24 |
| cornell | May I ask for enlightenment... What's the difference between a desktop environment and window manager? | 01:24 |
| hashem | sambagirl, check out mate | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | Gnome fallback mode is avail in the newest releases.. gnom,e2 is basically dead | 01:25 |
| sambagirl | ok | 01:25 |
| hashem | cornell, window manager deals with the layout of application windows on the screen | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | cornell: a window maanger is a specific part of a desktop. | 01:25 |
| simo_n | i think the past server is down | 01:25 |
| cornell | k, that makes sense, thanks hashem and dr_willis | 01:25 |
| sambagirl | there are so many different managers i'm taking my time. | 01:25 |
| hashem | cornell, desktop environment often includes a window manager, but also includes commonly used applications, a common visual theme, etc | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | desktop = a window manager + iconmanager/launcher + file manager (normally) | 01:25 |
| sambagirl | thanks | 01:25 |
| cornell | BBIAB | 01:25 |
| zykotick9 | cornell: DEs all have/use WMs ;) DEs are just additional/bloat stuff. | 01:25 |
| bazhang | !notunity | sambagirl please have a read | 01:25 |
| ubottu | sambagirl please have a read: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:25 |
| bazhang | sambagirl, install gnome-panel | 01:26 |
| hashem | cornell, what's BBIAB? | 01:26 |
| cornell | Be Back In A Bit | 01:26 |
| bazhang | hashem, back in a bit | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | sambagirl: what used to be the defacto site for window managers/desktops -> http://xwinman.org/ | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | some VERY old ones listed there. ;) | 01:26 |
| simo_n | bazhang i tried sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit 5 minutes ago and still waiting | 01:27 |
| hashem | dr_willis, is that site not updated anymore? | 01:27 |
| dr_willis | hashem: no idea. | 01:27 |
| bazhang | simo_n, did you install pastebinit ? | 01:27 |
| simo_n | yes | 01:27 |

| wellwhy_ | Can anybody help with a Gnome Shell problem? | 01:29 |
| bazhang | wellwhy_, whats the issue | 01:30 |
| wellwhy_ | Well, I am unable to apply a theme to my gnome shell, to be very simple. | 01:30 |
| simo_n | bazhang http://pastebin.com/NLka8HSM | 01:30 |
| astropirate | I installed xmonad and then restarted. but now I am not able to log into my user account... with any DM. I am on my guest account right now with Unity. I am running ubuntu 12.04. any advice? | 01:31 |
| eamon | how do I install the latest gcc? | 01:31 |
| bazhang | eamon, why do you need it | 01:31 |
| sambagirl | well i must apologize. i am very very pleased with the new ubuntu :D. it was painless to change back to the classic gnome2 interface and functionality salut! | 01:33 |
| wellwhy_ | bazhang, I am unable to apply a theme to my Gnome shell using Gnome Tweak Tool | 01:33 |
| wellwhy_ | I have User Theme Extensions downloaded and turned on, and sometimes it wont run. I also have the theme section greyed out for any work to be done | 01:34 |
| bazhang | wellwhy_, got a link for the theme? | 01:34 |
| wellwhy_ | Sure do | 01:34 |
| eamon | bazhang, to compile computer pragrams | 01:34 |
| bazhang | eamon, Yes I know. why do you need the LATEST | 01:34 |
| wellwhy_ | http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=google+plus+gnome#/d52alhm | 01:35 |
| wellwhy_ | is the theme | 01:35 |

| Noobuntu | install synaptic package manager | 01:40 |
| Noobuntu | from synaptic install gnome-shell-extensions and gnome-shell-extensions-common | 01:41 |
| Noobuntu | then install user themes from extensions.gnome.org | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: have you user use sudo with a gui program by chance? | 01:41 |
| Noobuntu | you should be then able to customize user themes | 01:41 |
| Noobuntu | worked for me | 01:41 |
| wellwhy_ | I have done all of that already but it still has the theme greyed out | 01:41 |
| wellwhy_ | are you using ubuntu 12.04? | 01:41 |
| eamon | bazhang: because they have regressions which affect my work and a lack of standards complience | 01:42 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: s/have you user/have you ever/ | 01:42 |
| Noobuntu | check the packages from within synaptic - you may have some conflicts | 01:42 |
| xrfang | I am using siege to do some load testing and got "cannot allocate address" (too many socket in TIME_WAIT) error while test against a simple hello world server written in Go, but the same error does not occure while test against nginx+phpfpm, I wonder why is this? | 01:42 |
| astropirate | zykotick9, have I ever used sudo with a gui program? sure | 01:42 |
| astropirate | but not since installing xmonad | 01:42 |
| wellwhy_ | I cant tell what was a command and what wasnt noobuntu | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: literally sudo? using sudo with GUI programs can break your account (so you can't login) - ALWAYS use gksudo for GUI apps. | 01:43 |
| Noobuntu | command: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3" | 01:43 |
| astropirate | zykotick9, ohh wow didn't know that | 01:43 |
| Noobuntu | command: "sudo apt-get update" | 01:43 |
| astropirate | how can i fix this? | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | astropirate | 01:43 |
| ubottu | astropirate: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 01:43 |
| astropirate | zykotick9, what do I do to fix this? | 01:44 |
| Noobuntu | install synaptic package manager from ubuntu software center | 01:44 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: no idea | 01:44 |
| astropirate | :( :( :( | 01:44 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: it might not be related... | 01:44 |
| eamon | does anyone khow to install the latest gcc? | 01:44 |

| bazhang | eamon, dont crosspost | 01:44 |
| astropirate | zykotick9, i really don't think it is in this case. | 01:45 |
| Noobuntu | need to go now | 01:45 |
| wellwhy_ | Alright what do I install in Synaptic Package Manager | 01:45 |
| astropirate | zykotick9, is there a way that i can su into my regular account? | 01:45 |
| astropirate | from te guest account | 01:45 |
| eamon | bazhang: don't tell me what not to do. | 01:45 |
| zykotick9 | astropirate: no idea. i've never seen a guest account on a linux box before (i know ubuntu has had one for a while, i've just never seen/used it before) | 01:46 |
| astropirate | first time i've used it too | 01:46 |
| simo_n | i deleted the guest account and im unable now to lock the station since yesterday | 01:48 |
| simo_n | by creating new guest account, the problem isnt solved | 01:48 |
| randomDude | simo_n: the guest account is ephemeral. every time you login with "guest" a random use home folder and user is created. | 01:50 |
| simo_n | randome i never used it, when i deleted it, the lock function isnt working anymore | 01:51 |
| linuxuz3r | hi | 01:51 |
| randomDude | simo_n: point is... not sure how you deleted it. when it deletes itself when you logout of guest. | 01:51 |
| randomDude | simo_n: the correct way to disable guest login is to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 01:52 |

| simo_n | its what i did yesterday | 01:53 |

| eleazar | hey guys, i bought an ssd to move my ubuntu install onto. what's the best way to move my current ubuntu installation to the new hard drive? :\ | 01:54 |

| sambagirl | how do you initiate compiz in 11.04 with gnome 2 as your manager? | 01:54 |
| randomDude | simo_n: so you didn't delete anything then ? perhaps you inserted the allow-guest line in the wrong place ? | 01:55 |
| simo_n | i will check | 01:55 |
| === kd7jwc is now known as shantorn | ||
| randomDude | Deeewayne: probably not, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that describes a list of other packages to install. | 01:55 |
| sambagirl | before under appearance you had an additional option for visual affects | 01:55 |
| bazhang | Deeewayne, thats a metapackage, so no | 01:55 |
| Deeewayne | is there an easy way to remove it? | 01:56 |
| bazhang | Deeewayne, what other DE did you have installed | 01:56 |
| Deeewayne | I think I would prefer to go back to console only since its a server | 01:56 |

| cornell | Interesting... I start the Update Manager, there are updates available... I hit install, and they start installing. No prompt for password. | 02:04 |
| OerHeks | cornell correct, unless it is a kernel update | 02:05 |
| cornell | Is that a new Ubuntu behavior, or is it XFCE? | 02:06 |
| OerHeks | new behaviour indeed | 02:06 |
| simo_n | cornell what about a new install | 02:07 |
| OerHeks | http://askubuntu.com/questions/86773/update-manager-doesnt-ask-for-a-password | 02:08 |

| simo_n | cornell i mean what about installing a frech install of ubuntu | 02:08 |
| cornell | Well... I kind of have a fresh install. The laptop's new | 02:09 |
| simo_n | not the laptop :) the os :) | 02:09 |
| simo_n | ubuntu | 02:09 |
| tambu | Upgraded to 12.10 and for some reason now ubuntu thinks I have two displays and it's displaying them on top of each other.. (overlayed) Where would these two devices be configured? | 02:10 |
| cornell | Thanks OerHeks. Nice link. Points out that the lack of challenge is only when updating existing. It's still needs password for new software. | 02:10 |
| OerHeks | cornell correct, or a kernel update | 02:10 |
| cornell | simo_n: New laptop, new OS. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 02:12 |

| kingCrawlerx | i don't get why my ubuntu 12.04 install reports 7.7 gb ram | 02:16 |

| zombieROT | I have an mp4 video shot from my phone that has a bad frame. I can open it in vlc and the video will freeze at 5:00 but if I scroll past the corrupted frame it plays. I can't fix it with avidemux because it wont let me go past the corrupted part. | 02:25 |
| OerHeks | simo_n, you can delete them, if they are not mounted. if they are, boot from live cd, open gparted and delete those and re-use them.. | 02:26 |
| wilee-nilee | simo_n, Wubi just makes a file did you put that in a partition outside the usual C: partition? | 02:26 |

| wilee-nilee | simo_n, the wubi that you copied the original is just a file remove with add remove in windows or the remove in the file.\ | 02:28 |
| simo_n | wont this hurt anything > | 02:29 |
| simo_n | ? | 02:29 |
| wilee-nilee | simo_n, If it is a wubi it was running independent of windows except for being a stanza in its boot menu, you remove it through windows to remove that stanza, at least to do it in one step. | 02:30 |
| simo_n | im asking because im a noob, if i delete it and stuck in grub console with errors i wont get out from it | 02:30 |
| tambu | hrm did they move the 2D mode for Unity on 12.10? can't find it on login screen | 02:31 |

| OerHeks | tambu yes ubuntu dropped 2D in QQ 12.10 | 02:31 |
| bazhang | OerHeks, thats not right | 02:31 |
| tambu | OerHeks: oh dear.. soo if your graphics card is having issues running it.. what your SOL? | 02:32 |
| wilee-nilee | simo_n, You have the original and the copy to a partition as I understand this. You also made the original and put it in a partition outside of the windows OS right. | 02:32 |

| bazhang | simo_n, either in synaptic package manager, or by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list directly | 02:41 |
| simo_n | an example | 02:41 |
| simo_n | Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mj-casalogic/bumblebee/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 02:41 |
| simo_n | open synaptic and look for bumblebee in the search ? | 02:42 |
| cornell | Hi simo_n... I understand that you're suggesting I install Ubuntu. I'm trying to express that I've just installed Ubuntu, hence re-installing would be moot. at this time. | 02:42 |
| bazhang | simo_n, look in software sources, or gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in fron t of the offending line(s) | 02:42 |
| simo_n | this will not uninstall this bumblee but only stop it from gettinng updated | 02:43 |
| wilee-nilee | simo_n, here is an explanation of the ways of removing a ppa including a purge that removes added packages that came with the original ppa install. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/how-to-use-launchpad-ppa-add-remove.html | 02:44 |
| Ozdemon | How can I find the cpu multiplier in an amd system? I have tried cat /proc/cpuinfo, but that doesn't give me the info AFAIK. | 02:45 |
| bazhang | simo_n, so install ppa-purge | 02:46 |
| bazhang | !ppa-purge | simo_n | 02:46 |
| ubottu | simo_n: 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 | 02:46 |
| h22turbo | Ozdemon: the bios? | 02:46 |
| Noobuntu | sudo apt-get purge? | 02:46 |
| simo_n | i have a pc not a launchpad ...sorry if ii dont understand u | 02:47 |
| Ozdemon | heeturbo, do you mean look in the bios rather than thru the terminal? I thought there might be some cmd or app like cpu-z for windoze. | 02:48 |

| pr0metheu5 | Hey guys. I can't decrease my brightness more than one step in Ubuntu. I'm on a Samsung laptop, and it's 64 bit. | 02:51 |
| pr0metheu5 | Using the FN keys, that is. | 02:51 |
| pr0metheu5 | Increasing/decreasing sound works perfectly fine. It's just the brightness, only goes up or down one step. | 02:51 |
| tonsofpcs | pr0metheu5: try increasing it like 20 presses then decreasing 20 presses... | 02:52 |
| dsnyders | pr0metheu5, can't help, but hopefully that one step doesn't bring you from full-on to full-off. | 02:52 |
| tonsofpcs | I know on initial load on one of my machines it needed to be 'shown' the scale | 02:52 |
| Stanley00 | pr0metheu5: did you try add acpi_backlight=vendor to your kernel when booting? | 02:53 |
| pr0metheu5 | No, it's not full on or off. It's either full brightness, or slightly less brightness. | 02:53 |
| pr0metheu5 | No, Stanley00 | 02:53 |
| pr0metheu5 | tonsofpcs: doesn't do anything. | 02:53 |
| Ozdemon | Okay, I will look in the bios tks. Bye | 02:53 |
| Stanley00 | pr0metheu5: well, you should try it | 02:53 |
| pr0metheu5 | I can adjust brightness fine using the GUI. | 02:53 |
| pr0metheu5 | Stanley00: how do I do it? | 02:53 |
| Stanley00 | pr0metheu5: wait a min, I need some search :D | 02:54 |
| pr0metheu5 | Stanley00: ok, thank you. | 02:54 |
| pr0metheu5 | it's a bug in the recent kernel, isn't it? >_< | 02:54 |
| pr0metheu5 | also, having a samsung laptop does not help at all. | 02:54 |
| dsnyders | pr0metheu5, are you holding it down or repeatedly pressing it? | 02:55 |

| pr0metheu5 | Thing is, I haven't actually even installed Ubuntu yet. I tried to see if the FN keys worked fine in Ubuntu first, and then Fedora second. The problem exists in both distros, which leads me to believe it's the kernal. | 02:56 |
| pr0metheu5 | kernel* | 02:56 |
| extropy | pr0metheu5: see xev, xbindkeys, xdotool, and "eject cdrom" | 02:58 |
| Stanley00 | pr0metheu5: so, you can set that manually when boot up, on ubuntu, press F6 will bring you a line to edit, add "acpi_..." at the end off that line | 02:58 |
| pr0metheu5 | "acpi_osi=samsung" right? | 02:59 |
| pr0metheu5 | no, just acpi_osi= | 02:59 |

| njr | Hi, I have a 11.10 live cd, How do I boot into the curses installer (the X-based on isnt working) | 03:10 |
| bazhang | simo_n, in which directory | 03:10 |
| bazhang | njr, the alternate one you mean? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | !alternate | njr this one? | 03:11 |
| ubottu | njr this one?: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 03:11 |
| simo_n | /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:11 |
| bazhang | simo_n, what about sources.list.d | 03:11 |
| simo_n | gksudo too ? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | simo_n, sure | 03:11 |
| njr | bazhang: is it possible to use the alternate installer from the live cd ? I have command line access though the virtual terminals | 03:12 |
| pr0metheu5 | Stanley00: I just booted ubuntu live and changed the boot options to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" after splash -- | 03:12 |
| simo_n | nothing happen sudo gksudo sources.list.d | 03:13 |
| pr0metheu5 | I added that bit and just pressed enter, and it booted up. But nothing changed.. | 03:13 |
| bazhang | njr, not to my knowledge; did you check the login screen options? | 03:13 |
| bazhang | simo_n, gksudo gedit | 03:13 |
| linuxdude | Hello | 03:13 |
| bazhang | simo_n, you need a text editor | 03:13 |
| simo_n | bazhang can you recommend a good one plz | 03:15 |
| linuxdude | Vim | 03:15 |
| bazhang | simo_n, I just told you: gksudo gedit | 03:15 |
| bazhang | simo_n, gedit is the text editor | 03:16 |
| Stanley00 | pr0metheu5: oh, after the "--", I'm not sure but maybe it have to be put before the "--" and maybe you should add "acpi=linux acpi_backlight=vendor" | 03:16 |
| simo_n | its gave me a blank page gksudo gedit sources.list.d | 03:16 |
| bazhang | simo_n, you are not using the correct path | 03:16 |
| simo_n | i will redo the link above another time | 03:17 |

| crimsonmane | if you want to edit your software sources, you can do it from the software manager (mano is it called now?) | 03:19 |
| bazhang | crimsonmane, you maybe thinking of muon with kde4 | 03:19 |
| simo_n | sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa , i dont know the exact name of thiis ppa and its location ... | 03:19 |
| crimsonmane | oh you're right. regardless every distro you can do software sources from the software manager or equiv. | 03:20 |
| bazhang | crimsonmane, this is gnome we are discussing, so he wont have that | 03:20 |
| zymaster | Hey just curious anyone know a good way to transfer all software and files to a new computer? I am going to get a new computer and don't feel like installing all m y old software old over again even if I get to keep my home folder | 03:20 |
| zymaster | all over again* | 03:20 |
| digitaljedi | hey guys | 03:21 |
| crimsonmane | zymaster: there's a backup program... open your Dash and type "back" and it should appear | 03:21 |
| simo_n | zynet connect them ( wifi network for example) and transfer them between the 2 pc | 03:21 |
| zymaster | crimsonmane thanks, also I am going to be dula booting windows 8 and ubuntu on this machine so this won't erase my windows 8 stuff and other partitions will it? Just so that I don't get screemed at with insults I would like to clarify I do not like windows but I need it to run software that doesnt work in wine. | 03:22 |
| crimsonmane | zymaster: why would performing a backup cause things to disappear? | 03:23 |
| client_alive | I need to run unison file synchronizer on a file owned by root. My ssh is configured to allow root login so using ssh manually I can sudo or su and do whatever I need to with scp (one time) but now I need to know how to set up unison so it can handle that file and not have any problems. Does anyone know how I would go about this? | 03:23 |
| zymaster | Didn't know if restoring from backup would restore the entire computer and not just the partition ubuntu is running on | 03:24 |
| crimsonmane | use the same app to restore... and you've nothing to worry about. | 03:24 |
| crimsonmane | it only backs up what you tell it to. your home folder and custom installed programs | 03:24 |
| zymaster | ok thanks crimsonmane love this channel such fast useful support and help for free. | 03:25 |
| crimsonmane | i think it's called Nepomuk? | 03:25 |
| zymaster | the one installed with ubuntu looks like its called deja-dup but not 100% sure | 03:26 |
| crimsonmane | yeah same thing | 03:26 |
| zymaster | ok good I will use that when I get my new computer thanks for the help | 03:26 |

| daanish | ubuntu installer isn't giving me an option to "install alongside windows" what gives? | 03:29 |
| daanish | it's only either "replace," or "something else." | 03:30 |
| crimsonmane | "something else" | 03:30 |
| jinjonBoo | lol | 03:30 |
| daanish | I haven't ever done this manually before, that's why I'm skeptic. | 03:30 |
| daanish | For instance, where does the bootloader go? | 03:30 |
| crimsonmane | you're not skeptic. you're afraid. bootloader will overwrite windows bootloader, but it's supposed to go in the same spot i think. | 03:30 |
| daanish | Well, yeah, I am scared. | 03:31 |
| daanish | I thought so too, but does it? | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | !dualbooting | 03:31 |
| jinjonBoo | daanish: i would reccomend making 2 partitions: one for Win, one for ubuntu. install Win on 1rst partition, then install ubuntu on 2nd partition. he makes everything for you, i guess | 03:31 |
| crimsonmane | yes and it "should" automagically put the windows boot option there. | 03:31 |
| daanish | Nope. It puts /dev/sdb automatically there, which I can only make out to be the flashdrive I'm using to install it. | 03:32 |
| jinjonBoo | including the bootloader, which overwrites the windows one | 03:32 |
| jinjonBoo | i would definately NOT reccomend installing windows AFTER ubuntu, cuz they mess all the boot | 03:32 |
| jinjonBoo | *they - meaning Microsoft | 03:32 |
| daanish | Not doing that at all | 03:32 |
| jinjonBoo | I know, it's just a bonus info :P | 03:33 |
| daanish | So, location for boot loader installation, should I just pick "sda 1 - Windows 7 (Loader)" | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | daanish, Do you have the windows backed up, a clone? | 03:33 |
| daanish | Nope. | 03:33 |
| loadid_ | not sda1, just /dev/sda | 03:33 |
| === loadid_ is now known as sfears | ||
| wilee-nilee | daanish, you need to have that or at the least a way to reload or install in case you need to. | 03:34 |
| jinjonBoo | daanish: i'm really not sure, you should ask someone else, sorry. i'm just a newbie :) | 03:34 |
| simo_n | thanks all :) | 03:34 |
| daanish | wilee-nilee: I have windows install media ready, so that's not 'much' of an issue. | 03:35 |
| daanish | So, the boot loader is supposed to go to the root of the hard drive. "/dev/sda" then, right? | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | daanish, Cool you need to be aware of the types of partitions and the limit to the amount allowed on a single HD. | 03:35 |
| daanish | types, as in swap, boot, recovery, etc? | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | daaaan, primary only 4 allowed or up to 3 primaries with a extended holding logicals for the ubuntu install. | 03:37 |
| sfears | yes daanish, boot loader to root of hard drive | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | daanish, ^^^^ | 03:38 |
| daanish | Thanks, you guys. | 03:38 |
| daanish | wilee-nilee: I plan on reading more about hard disk partitions and how memory is used in linux sometime. | 03:39 |
| SolarAquarion | http://privatepaste.com/76ec175a69 | 03:39 |
| daanish | aah, what about swap area? | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | daanish, Cool my only concern here is that you do not exceed the partitions allowed and make your HD dynamic | 03:39 |
| daanish | I plan on installing it on /dev/sda4.. so file system should be ext4, right? | 03:40 |
| daanish | but what should the mount point to it be? | 03:40 |
| SolarAquarion | Can someone help me with my problem http://privatepaste.com/76ec175a69 | 03:41 |
| SolarAquarion | Opera will not install | 03:41 |
| daanish | Oh, so wherever it's being installed should be mounted to "/" | 03:45 |
| === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 | ||
| daanish | right? | 03:46 |
| Noobuntu | daanish: its generally a good idea to have mount /, /usr, /home and /swap on separate partitions | 03:46 |
| wilee-nilee | daanish, you in the something other option? | 03:46 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| Noobuntu | but since you are just starting out, just mount / on /dev/sda4 | 03:47 |
| Noobuntu | do you have a separate partition identified for swap? | 03:47 |
| daanish | Noobuntu, I was planning on working on the swap after figuring out what the main partition mounts to | 03:48 |
| daanish | I'm not making seperate partitions for each /home, etc, because I'm trying to dual boot (and yes, because I'm just starting out with this.) | 03:48 |
| Noobuntu | ok -- how much is ur RAM? | 03:48 |
| daanish | 4GB | 03:48 |
| daanish | Rule of thumb, swap = ram x 2 | 03:48 |
| himanshu_linux | Hi, i want to know about the portioning of hard disk . And about, what can delete my files ? | 03:48 |
| Noobuntu | alright - so your swap shouuld be atelast 4 GB in size | 03:48 |
| daanish | not twice that of ram, the same? | 03:48 |
| Noobuntu | no - ram x 2 would be overkill - it will hardly be used | 03:49 |
| daanish | Ok. | 03:49 |
| Noobuntu | just use the same size as that of RAM if you are planning to use hibernate | 03:49 |
| daanish | Thanks, Noobuntu | 03:49 |
| Noobuntu | you are welcome | 03:49 |
| daanish | Quick question, you think 68GB is enough for an ubuntu install? | 03:50 |
| Noobuntu | that would depend on how you plan to use it | 03:51 |
| daanish | Bah humbug.. I can never remember if I ran out of space on my last escapade with linux. | 03:51 |
| Noobuntu | if you are asking only about the operating system space requirements then 68GB is of course more than enough | 03:51 |
| ClientAlive | how do I change the umask in ubuntu 12.04? It isn't through /etc/profile anymore as that file says something about a pam_umask. I know nothing about pam modules. What do I actually do to changet the umask? | 03:51 |
| daanish | Noobuntu, I'm just worried because of all the constant updates? | 03:52 |
| Noobuntu | 68 GB would be enough | 03:52 |
| daanish | And I'm dual booting, so most of the media and other trash would be in a third ntfs partition.. | 03:52 |
| Noobuntu | as I said - for the system files and basic applications 68 GB is quite sufficient | 03:53 |
| Noobuntu | the rest depends on what u plan to dump in | 03:53 |
| daanish | What are the significant advantages of having /home on a seperate partition? | 03:53 |
| Sokel | daanish: If you trash the other partitions, you can recover your stuff. | 03:54 |
| Noobuntu | if you have to wipe out ur OS sometime later - and it happens many times when we accidentally break something for good | 03:54 |
| Noobuntu | u will lose ur user customizations and stuff | 03:54 |
| daanish | Good point. How much space should be designated for that? I had to buy a new HD a few months ago, I knew I should've gotten something bigger than 320 GB ... | 03:54 |
| himanshu_linux | hi help me with hard disk partition ? i want to know about it . | 03:54 |
| Noobuntu | on the other hand if u have a separate /home partition u can just reinstall afresh and mount the same partition as /home | 03:55 |
| Sokel | daanish: If you have a LOT of data, give it a good size. | 03:55 |

| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruptionevery cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean install('nomodeset' fixes this but then compiz is unworkable)? | 03:55 |
| Noobuntu | depends on how u plan to use it daanish | 03:55 |
| Sokel | ClientAlive: If you want to change it, it HAS to be in /etc/profile. | 03:55 |
| Noobuntu | set around 20GB aside for OS and other basic apps | 03:55 |
| Noobuntu | rest is upto u | 03:55 |
| daanish | Thanks a lot, you guys! | 03:57 |
| himanshu_linux | daanish : i want to know how much partition i can do ? | 03:58 |
| daanish | As many as you want, I suppose? Will it be just Linux, or dual boot between windows and linux? | 03:58 |

| adie | and perform poorly :| | 03:59 |
| himanshu_linux | daanish : ok .. what can lose the data ? | 03:59 |
| daanish | himanshu_linux: Formatting a drive, or making any linux based changes to it will most probably format it and make you lose date. | 04:00 |

| adie | 2.97 rather than 2.96 which comes with ubuntu | 04:05 |
| c_smith | adie, not a prob, as I'm installing it fresh from the repos | 04:05 |
| silverarrow | wilee-nilee, there is no reason to expect file fragmentation or weirness? | 04:05 |
| c_smith | adie, I see. | 04:06 |
| wilee-nilee | silverarrow, Fragmentation would be unusual what is the problem? | 04:06 |

| adie | redwarriors25, you can change your local IP in the network settings | 04:15 |

| blackshirt | hello, is it possible to limit samba just allowed some type of files ? | 04:24 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: Usually, /etc/ is Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) | 04:24 |
| ClientAlive | In fact I don't have write perms for /etc. Thing is, I don't have much desire to go screwing around opening up security holes in my system. I wish there was a good secure way to let this app do what it needs to (regardless of perms). | 04:26 |
| ClientAlive | regardless of ownership too | 04:26 |
| blackshirt | ClientAlive, what you need exactly ? | 04:26 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: What's wrong with using rsync? | 04:26 |
| blackshirt | that was normal | 04:26 |
| ClientAlive | Tj: well I like what I see with unison. I'd like to take it for a spin :) | 04:27 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: You could always read the original files using sudo ... and pipe them to a non-privileged process for writing at the backup destination | 04:27 |
| ClientAlive | hmm | 04:28 |
| ClientAlive | Tj: Isn't there a way I could make it so unison can sudo? But then how would I get it to actually use sudo when needed? And, somehow, that seems like a really bad idea - security wise. No? | 04:31 |

| Calinou | King_Snooty, you can use wine to use steam on linux, although it may not work all the time | 04:32 |
| TJ- | You don't always need elevated privileges to *read* files in /etc/ (check the individual directories and files ) but you do need them to *write* to /etc/ | 04:32 |

| King_Snooty | I am much excited for a native client. | 04:32 |
| blackshirt | hello, is it possible to limit samba just allowed some type of files ? | 04:32 |
| ClientAlive | why can't I make it so unison operates as root (like it's part of the system where it can do anything) but then make it so unison can not be accessed/ used/ even tourched without root permission (sudo or su). So in order to run unison now you have to have the ability to sudo or su. ?? | 04:34 |
| ClientAlive | Why not that? Seems like the perfect scenario to me... | 04:35 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: You can, I would think. If operating as root then the profiles would go in the root user's home directory so only that user can access them | 04:35 |
| ClientAlive | Tj: Hmm, sounds like a lot of work? | 04:36 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: 2 minutes? | 04:36 |
| ClientAlive | really? | 04:36 |
| TJ- | Well I assume you've mastered how to define unison profiles by now... I've seen you asking questions about it for several days! | 04:37 |
| ClientAlive | not exactly :s | 04:37 |
| XiaolinDraconis | sooo any solution to choppy flash? i checked the questions and searched google, it gives me a very diverse array of solutions, really dont wanna take a shot in the dark with this. seems like everytime i do that something breaks even worse | 04:37 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: 'root' is just another user, with it's own home directory just like everyone else. It's just it lives at /root/ not in /home/ | 04:37 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: So I'd think that if unison keeps its profiles/configs in the ~/.unison/ directory, you'd put them in /root/.unison/ and then just ensure for those profiles you do sudo unison... | 04:38 |
| ClientAlive | yeah but unison expects profiles to be in ~/.unison (for one thing) Then theres how to make that program have run with root privs, then there's how to restrict using the program unless you have root privs. | 04:38 |
| XiaolinDraconis | currently watching youtube and it isnt choppy, but i was just watching tubeplus tv show and it was slightly choppy, now im playing a game on kongregate and its a little more choppy | 04:39 |
| ClientAlive | I think that to make it run with root privs I would add it to some group (some existing group) but what about changing where unison expects to find it's .prf files and about restricting running it? | 04:40 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: "~" expands to the current user's home directory. If the current user is root (as is the case when using sudo) then "~" is /root/ | 04:40 |

| yuio | TJ-: please help me | 04:42 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: Any user allowed by /etc/sudoers rules may be allowed to; the user usually belongs to the admin or adm groups fro that | 04:42 |

| ClientAlive | Tj: yeah but in practice they have to type "sudo" on the command line then enter a password. I don't think unison can do that. | 04:43 |
| yuio | ops ! sorry | 04:43 |
| XiaolinDraconis | yuio, i know what it is | 04:43 |
| XiaolinDraconis | yuio, same thing happened to me | 04:43 |

| ClientAlive | hmm. I'm not sure if I was thinking of the same thing. I can't think of a good example but I was thinking of some process that runs as part of the system and can basically do whatever it needs to (perms or not). | 04:46 |
| ClientAlive | like dmesg or something. It does whatever it wants right? | 04:46 |

| ClientAlive | the file the question was started over is /etc/.bash.aliases | 04:47 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: Why would that file be changed and need syncing? Usually changes to aliases are done at the user level, not system | 04:48 |
| ClientAlive | I have my aliases set up so root and myuser can run the same alias (I do su occasionally) | 04:49 |
| joever | hi guys, 12.04, having a font rendering problem, especially with browsers. fonts are blurry and fuzzy. tried playing with hinting, antialiasing, fonts etc but no luck. can someone please help me? | 04:50 |
| vicTROLLA | Anyone know why 12.04 would display the MOTD twice on login? | 04:50 |
| ClientAlive | afk for a moment | 04:51 |
| Spr0cket | . | 04:51 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: Why not simply symlink the file then? "sudo ln -s /home/$USER/.bash_aliases /root/.bash_aliases" - anything you put in "/home/$USER/.bash_aliases" is seen by the root user | 04:51 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: maybe udpate-motd got confused | 04:52 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: or even update-motd ! | 04:53 |
| vicTROLLA | if you're running ubuntu can you show me `which update-motd` | 04:54 |
| redwarriors25 | the localhost network is ok but in accessing website like google cant | 04:54 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: There isn't one. update-motd is done by pam_motd (see man 5 update-motd) | 04:56 |
| vicTROLLA | odd | 04:57 |
| vicTROLLA | seems /var/run/motd is correct | 04:57 |
| vicTROLLA | can I just arbitrarily delete things out of /etc/update-motd.d/ | 04:58 |
| vicTROLLA | ? | 04:58 |
| ClientAlive | Tj: I'll have to think about that. I've been on these two computers for about the last 6 hrs and getting a bit burnt out for tonight. I appreciate your suggestions and may end up doing that - just it'll have to be tomorrow I think. Peace out for now man. thx | 04:59 |
| TJ- | ClientAlive: good luck with ti :) | 05:00 |
| ClientAlive | thx man. have a good night | 05:00 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: Not a great idea because those files are installed by packages. Any update, they'll be reinstated | 05:00 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: Check if there are multiple pam rules causing it: "grep motd /etc/pam.d/*" | 05:01 |
| vicTROLLA | hrm session optional pam_motd.so appears in both login and sshd | 05:02 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: That's correct | 05:02 |
| rolio | help me ! i'm in danger ! my PC is not started without my pendrive and now my pendrive has been format . | 05:03 |
| vicTROLLA | it's supposed to appear twice? | 05:03 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: No; "login" and "sshd" should both have entries for pam_motd.so | 05:04 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: What kind of login is causing it? remote, local? | 05:04 |
| vicTROLLA | remote | 05:04 |
| vicTROLLA | ssh | 05:04 |
| TJ- | vicTROLLA: Have any changes been made at any time to the PAM configuration for alternate log-in options? | 05:05 |
| vicTROLLA | no. Just started happening today. The only thing that was installed today was libssh2-php which should (I would hope it wouldn't anyways) not have anything to do with pam | 05:06 |

| PoitSucka | Hi everyone! I'm looking into a new system but my favorite site to get ubuntu-friendly hardware (pricewatch.com) looks like it's just a domain squatter now. | 06:19 |
| PoitSucka | Where do you all shop for hardware? | 06:19 |
| theadmin | aharoni: You read the documentation... It has a link and instructions on what you should be using instead of that link (because other methods will give you more details) | 06:20 |
| PoitSucka | I'm looking for something that lets me pick my individual components and has lots of alternatives (like my beloved, deceased pricewatch) | 06:20 |

| PoitSucka | pagz: The GRUB_DEFAULT setting in /etc/default/grub that lotuspsychje mentioned is what you want to edit. | 06:27 |
| pagz | thanks | 06:27 |
| PoitSucka | Sure thing pagz - if it doesn't work or if you have any trouble come on back and let us know | 06:27 |
| aharoni | theadmin, I run ubuntu-bug , I select "other problem", and then I get the message: "You need to specify a package or a PID. See --help for more information." | 06:28 |
| pagz | i did try and google this... must of had old guides tho was telling me to edit files not found on the system | 06:28 |
| PoitSucka | pagz: not your fault | 06:28 |
| theadmin | aharoni: Correct, you need to specify *where* the bug is (e.g. by calling ubuntu-bug with "ubuntu-bug firefox") | 06:28 |
| PoitSucka | You probably found a bunch of tutorials for the first grub | 06:28 |
| zsolt | hi there.trying to make deb packages,with dpkg-buildpackage but it makes only the docs | 06:29 |
| PoitSucka | pagz: Grub went under a bunch of changes when they switched to grub2 | 06:29 |
| PoitSucka | So now there are search results for grub configuration chilling all around the Internet for grub1 that aren't helpful at all for people using grub2. | 06:30 |
| PoitSucka | It's confusing. Not your fault. | 06:30 |
| aharoni | theadmin, the docs say: "If you're not sure which package is affected by the bug, type ubuntu-bug in the "Run Application" window and click Run. This will guide you through a series of questions to gather more information about the bug." | 06:31 |
| aharoni | but It gives me an error instead of guiding me. | 06:31 |
| theadmin | aharoni: Hm, the guide must be outdated. Either way, if you're not sure which package is affected, why not find out? What *is* the bug? | 06:32 |
| aharoni | theadmin, like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/517092 , but for the Burmese alphabet. | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 517092 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Desktop does not ship Tibetan fonts (ISO code "bo") by default" [Undecided,New] | 06:34 |
| aharoni | or should I report it under ubuntu-meta? | 06:34 |
| theadmin | aharoni: Yeah, that'd be a good idea... Also, shipping all fonts around is something that might never happen. Though, since Quantal the only way to install Ubuntu will be a DVD so they may fit more data in... | 06:35 |
| aharoni | theadmin, not shipping all fonts, but shipping at least one font per every script is quite reasonable this days. | 06:36 |
| theadmin | aharoni: Hm... Well, I do agree | 06:36 |
| * theadmin proceeds to invent her own script :P | 06:37 | |

| d3f4c3d | error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.4 | 06:39 |
| theadmin | aharoni: I don't seem to be able to find any "Burmese" fonts in the repos at all | 06:40 |
| theadmin | d3f4c3d: This is an error while loading a shared library which you don't have installed. | 06:40 |

| Zombie | Hi. | 06:41 |
| Zombie | I just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. | 06:41 |
| d3f4c3d | i'm on ubuntu x64 3.2.0-31-generic | 06:41 |
| theadmin | aharoni: Not finding anything either... Anyway, I'd say report it as a bug to xfs, that's the closest I can get to it | 06:41 |
| d3f4c3d | how can i get that library | 06:41 |
| Zombie | I need to ask: | 06:41 |
| theadmin | !find libcrypto.so.4 | 06:41 |

| theadmin | Hellog: Third-party distributions and repositories are not supported here. | 06:42 |
| d3f4c3d | is there a way to get libcrypto.so.4 working | 06:42 |
| Hellog | theadmin: so, where i go ? | 06:43 |
| theadmin | d3f4c3d: That library doesn't seem to exist in Precise. Are you using some way old app? | 06:43 |
| d3f4c3d | not way old but | 06:43 |
| d3f4c3d | old i guess :( | 06:43 |
| d3f4c3d | it's cisco IOS labs basically | 06:43 |
| d3f4c3d | for training | 06:43 |
| theadmin | Hellog: Nowhere -- if you're trying to use something that's not officially supported by Ubuntu, you're on your own. Might ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but idk how much help will that be. | 06:43 |
| d3f4c3d | ../wrapper-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 06:44 |
| PoitSucka | Zombie: a good indicator - "lsmod | grep i915" | 06:44 |
| theadmin | d3f4c3d: libcrypto.so appears to be provided by libssl, but that's not the version it wants | 06:44 |
| theadmin | Hellog: Might ask in #backtrack-linux too | 06:44 |
| d3f4c3d | so i should update ios version ? because i dont think its possible :( | 06:45 |
| d3f4c3d | if i install old version of ubuntu will it work ? | 06:45 |
| d3f4c3d | sad face lol | 06:45 |
| PoitSucka | Hellog: What theadmin may have meant to say is check #backtrack, or see if you can find a link in the backtrack forums. | 06:46 |
| PoitSucka | nvm, he did suggest it, I was just too late | 06:47 |
| PoitSucka | gj, theadmin | 06:47 |

| d3f4c3d | thnx but i had enough of anal for today ;) will restart tomorrow | 06:50 |
| PoitSucka | d3f4c3d: your problem may be a bit rare, so you're probably better off looking for a package that exists with that library. Start by searching for that library with its name and version | 06:50 |
| PoitSucka | Then if you find an index of a repo with that library, try to search for the specific package name listed there. | 06:50 |
| PoitSucka | Good luck d3f4c3d. I hope it works out for you | 06:51 |
| d3f4c3d | lol bro i have no idea what u said :) but thanks ! | 06:51 |

| PoitSucka | As in, perhaps you have an X bit binary trying to load a Y bit lib | 07:11 |
| PoitSucka | Doesn't matter if X > Y or X < y, the point is if X != Y you often get huuuuuuge problems. | 07:12 |

| d3f4c3d | Package libssl:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 07:13 |
| d3f4c3d | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 07:13 |

| ninjo | i have a little problem on my ubuntu, i am total newbie, so if someone would help i would be really happy: When i run anyfile i get: permission denied. How to fix that? | 07:38 |
| silverarrow | I get new firefox | 07:39 |
| silverarrow | been waiting for 15.01 | 07:39 |
| lotuspsychje | ninjo: try running files with sudo in front of it | 07:39 |
| silverarrow | my update manager is mucked up fidel ? | 07:39 |
| LorSamPau_w | !sudo | ninjo | 07:39 |
| ubottu | ninjo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 07:39 |
| bekks | ninjo: So which file in particular do you want to run? | 07:39 |
| LorSamPau_w | just as i thought | 07:39 |
| bekks | LorSamPau_w: sudo without knowing what he wants to do is sometimes not the best idea :) | 07:40 |

| LorSamPau_w | bekks, i'm so lazy today | 07:40 |
| bekks | DO NOT run it as root. Never. Dont do it. | 07:40 |
| silverarrow | Dayofswords, I have to write down your command | 07:41 |
| ninjo | Even if i run it as a user, i still get the same error, but not only psybnc, anything else i want to execute with ./ | 07:41 |
| silverarrow | a bit worrying about my update manager though ? | 07:41 |
| ninjo | I think its some permissions mixed up | 07:41 |
| bekks | ninjo: Are you in the directory where the file "psybnc" is located? | 07:41 |
| ninjo | yea ofcourse :) | 07:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !chmod | ninjo | 07:42 |
| ubottu | ninjo: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 07:42 |
| bekks | ninjo: And which permissions does that file have currently? | 07:42 |
| ninjo | 777 | 07:42 |
| ninjo | everything :D | 07:42 |
| bekks | 777 is far to much. 755 is more than enough. | 07:42 |
| ninjo | Still, nothing wants to execute | 07:42 |
| ninjo | not only psybnc, if you know what i mean | 07:42 |
| bekks | ninjo: Then provide the exact, detailed error message. | 07:43 |

| lotuspsychje | !info gparted | tailf | 07:56 |
| ubottu | tailf: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.11.0-2 (precise), package size 530 kB, installed size 1872 kB | 07:56 |
| oren_ | and I have found no way to adjust stuff in skype | 07:56 |
| tailf | thanks | 07:56 |
| somsip | oren_: In Skype -> Options -> Video there is a 'Disable Auto Exposure' checkbox which casues darker video. Any good? | 07:57 |
| lotuspsychje | oren_:i think webcam adjusting depends on the software you using | 07:57 |
| oren_ | What software in Ubuntu can I use to alter webcam settings? | 07:57 |
| somsip | oren_: though thats v4.0.0.8 from Skype downloads, not from the repo | 07:57 |
| lotuspsychje | oren_:for the best webcam/screen recorder try kazam (#kazam) | 07:57 |
| oren_ | alright, I'll try that lotus | 07:58 |
| yulio | how to open every executable application in terminal as root by default | 07:58 |
| lotuspsychje | yulio: i dont think thats a good idea | 07:58 |
| oren_ | somsip: are you saying the linux-skype on their website is more up-to-date than the one in the repo? | 07:58 |
| somsip | oren_: Last I checked, the repo was at an older version | 07:59 |
| yulio | lotuspsychje: but , my situation demand me to do that | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | yulio:can you tell us whats the purpose for that? | 07:59 |
| oren_ | hmm the one I'm using is 4.0.0.8 and it has no disable auto-exposure | 07:59 |
| oren_ | oh wait no | 07:59 |
| oren_ | it does | 07:59 |
| deathtap | Another server on our network has Squid installed. It uses some form of authentication. The Network Administrator is in the hospital because of personal problems, and is unable to be contacted. If we can get the apt-get command to get through the proxy server, we cam use the apt-get install command. We know the password and username, and used the export http_proxy= command, but it is not working. | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | yulio: you could make your own startup icons with commands, sudo in front | 08:00 |
| oren_ | I'd like to alter other settings as well though, like color, etc... | 08:00 |

| oren_ | I just want to alter my webcam settings | 08:00 |
| lotuspsychje | oren_:try what somsip sugested you in skype | 08:01 |
| somsip | oren_: you want to load some sort of logitech.conf that affects anything that uses the webcam during a session? Sorry, don't know of that | 08:01 |
| oren_ | In Windows I can easily just go into the logitech quickcam program and change settings | 08:01 |
| oren_ | why is there no program in Ubuntu for stuff like this? | 08:02 |
| lotuspsychje | oren_:quickcam is also software, so you need always an ubuntu package | 08:02 |
| oren_ | yeah ... but what package? | 08:02 |
| oren_ | what ubuntu software can accomplish this? | 08:03 |
| lotuspsychje | oren_:maybe this can help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 08:04 |

| ubottu | oren_: Files with ".tar.gz", ".tar.bz2" or ".tgz" extensions are compressed archive formats, similar to ZIP files. See !tar for extracting them. Some of these files contain programs in source code form; see !compile for getting them to run. | 08:20 |

| kallepersson | Any way to just disable it | 08:27 |

| kallepersson | THX! | 08:27 |
| oren_ | Dayofswords: I have no idea what that all means, I'm a real rookie with linux. Do you mean go to the terminal and just type that stuff or...? | 08:28 |
| icesword | yes | 08:31 |
| Dayofswords | oren_: in the terminal go to the folder(using cd /path/to/gqcam-0.9) and do "./configure" without the quotes. chances are you'll hit some errors though so try that for now | 08:31 |
| oren_ | oh okay | 08:31 |
| oren_ | will do | 08:31 |

| francesco_ | Hello, I have been here yesterday too. I am planning to install LXDE on my pc, where I have Ubuntu installed. I am afraid, what happens if I want to come back to Gnome again? | 08:41 |
| somsip | oren_: normally that is the instructions on how to install, not an executable | 08:41 |
| oren_ | hmm okay | 08:41 |
| oren_ | yeah it's a text file thingo | 08:41 |
| icesword | the executable file usually be something.sh, something like that | 08:41 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, no problem at all. as you login there will be gnome and lxde | 08:41 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, just don't delete gnome packages | 08:42 |
| oren_ | probably a newbie question here but why on earth is it often so difficult to install a simple program in Ubuntu with all this compiling? | 08:43 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, is there the possibility to stop login asking me which interface I want to use? And if it is possible, what if I want to come back to Gnome? | 08:43 |
| oren_ | why don't people make simple install executives or something | 08:43 |
| bekks | francesco_: Dont use autologim and you can always change your session befor login in. | 08:43 |
| icesword | so you fix it? oren? | 08:44 |
| skraito | hi guys | 08:45 |
| skraito | hi kid | 08:45 |
| oren_ | no, I didn't fix it | 08:45 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, by default login-screen doesn't show up... just install lxde, then you logout and choose lxde. next time you turn on your pc it wiil load up the lxde, and if you want to change it to gnome again - just logout and choose gnome ) | 08:45 |
| skraito | how are ya | 08:45 |
| oren_ | I can't install this thing at all | 08:45 |
| oren_ | apparently it requires a bunch of other files | 08:45 |
| pcbsdl1 | skraito: You ok yo ? | 08:45 |

| parapan | Hi fellows > big problem I have; I've installed arping which uninstalled network manager applet I had no internet connection; I edited the /etc/network/interfaces by hand , introducing eth0 as a device with manual IP's , after that I've installed network manager again from Synaptic ..but still, the network manager does not show in the status bar and even if it's showing (when wireless network is detected) for the wired connection is | 08:47 |
| tehpwnz | gordonjcp, it works okay? you havent had any issues? | 08:47 |
| arand | oren_: Because the idea is you normally don't install from source, but from repositories instead. | 08:48 |
| bekks | parapan: As long as you configured eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, NM will NOT pick it up. | 08:48 |
| bekks | Undo that change, and configure a static IP in NM, and it will work. | 08:48 |
| oren_ | arand: why? | 08:49 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, let me tell you the whole story. I don't know if this is the proper channel to ask. I have an old PC (Pentium IV) and I have notices that it become very slow after updates. Someone suggested me that could be the interface (Gnome) that is getting heavier for my PC. He suggested me to install Lubuntu, or just LXDE on my version of Ubuntu. What do you think? Should I install Lubuntu? | 08:49 |
| oren_ | seems kind of counter-intuitive | 08:49 |
| Noodels | francesco_: I would. | 08:50 |
| parapan | bekks > look, after re-installing the network manager, I will delete all modifications made to "interfaces" file .....actually the only line there suppose to be ....auto lo ......but, I think I've done that and then I lost the network again .... | 08:50 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, you should... it's not bad, looks nice, will work faster definitely | 08:51 |
| parapan | bekks: and still the network manager was not working ...... | 08:51 |
| skraito | hey pcbdl | 08:52 |
| skraito | i am okay how about you | 08:52 |
| skraito | awww guys | 08:52 |
| arand | oren_: Because it's more convenient. | 08:52 |
| parapan | bekks: also, when I try to start nm-applet I receive the error "Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. " | 08:52 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, But I am afraid of loosing my data. My problem is that I already have a double partition with Windows Vista, and Ubuntu on my PC. How can I delete Ubuntu without touching Windows? | 08:52 |
| parapan | bekks: are you still here ???? | 08:54 |
| oren_ | arand: how on earth is this any more convenient than a single install file executable? | 08:55 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, it can be done, but it's very complicated, if i was in your shoes - i'll backup all that i need and format the disk - then install windows(if you really need it) and then lubuntu | 08:55 |
| Costeelation | hi guys, regards :D ... i have a problem with the conection... any app can connect :/ | 08:56 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, I will need Windows for sure for some work that I have to do as student at University. They use applications only for Windows. | 08:57 |
| Zombie | francesco_: I may be able to help. | 08:57 |
| icesword | then how you get on irc? | 08:57 |
| arand | oren_: Because packages in repos are prepared to integrate correctly into the system, and the most convenient way for maintainers to create packages is by having a clean source-only tarball. | 08:57 |
| Zombie | francesco_: If you don't mind KDE, KDE exists as a meta-package. | 08:57 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, backup the the needed data, install win first, lubuntu - second | 08:58 |

| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, perhaps (I don't know, though) the problem is that I stopped updating my Ubuntu a long ago. And, therefore, my PC is not "synchronized" with what they have now. Could it be something like that? | 09:02 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, i bet on it | 09:02 |
| francesco_ | Zombie, sorry. I know. | 09:03 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, how could I solve the problem. Could I "manually" install the packages that I need? Is it difficult? | 09:03 |
| sveinse | Is it possible to resize2fs a running root fs? Expand that is. Apparently it is possible on lvm, but is it on an ordinary block device? | 09:04 |
| hawkal | Anyone know anything about packages.ubuntu.com being down? | 09:04 |
| bekks | sveinse: Depends on the fs. | 09:04 |
| sveinse | ext4 | 09:04 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, if it is so, "sudo apt-get install updates" wouldn't work. I'm not an expert though. | 09:04 |
| tsimpson | hawkal: it's being worked on | 09:04 |
| fidel | hawkal: seems to be down here to | 09:05 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, i've never done that, you better google it | 09:05 |
| bekks | sveinse: You cant resize the blockdevice online, but the filesystem only. | 09:05 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, thank you, anyway. Perhaps I had better install Lubuntu. | 09:05 |
| hawkal | tsimpson & fidel okay thank you | 09:06 |
| sveinse | bekks: So I can in principle resize the partition/block device, reboot and then resize the fs | 09:06 |
| bekks | sveinse: No. You have to use a livecd to resize the blockdevice. | 09:07 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, no problem, you really should install lubuntu | 09:07 |
| sveinse | bekks: Uhm. no. You can change the partition table on a running system. It might not come into effect until you reboot, but you can change it | 09:08 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, last question. :) Do you really think it could be the effects of Gnome that slowed down my PC? | 09:08 |
| sveinse | bekks: So from what I understand you can change the fs, but not the block device. But if the block device has already been expanded (like with lvm), then you can run resize2fs. Isn't that right? | 09:10 |
| L1l | could anyone help with ipv6 ? | 09:10 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, i had the same problem on my old laptop... after installing lubuntu - i felt like it's a new notebook... much faster | 09:10 |
| === L1l is now known as Lil | ||
| decci | May I know if Ubuntu provide any Hardware Suite tool for Dell or HP server? | 09:10 |
| sveinse | What defines the fs size? Meta-data in the superblock, or the size of the block device? | 09:10 |
| francesco_ | LorSamPau_w, thank you very much for your patience. I have to go now. See you some other time. Ciao. | 09:11 |
| bekks | sveinse: That is correct. | 09:11 |
| LorSamPau_w | francesco_, ciao | 09:11 |
| bekks | sveinse: The size of the fs is defined in the superblock of the fs and control blocks on the block device. | 09:11 |
| sveinse | bekks: Since it works with lvm where you can expand the logical volume, it seems to me that the size of ext(4) is bounded by data in the superblock. When you increase a lv the block device increases in size, but you need to run resize2fs to allow the fs to take use of the whole block-dev | 09:14 |
| sveinse | bekks: So, again, wouldn't this be the same as to increase the partition table, then reboot to apply the new partition table (where the only change is increase of the partition's end) and resize2fs it to fill the device | 09:15 |

| maxexcloo | " It's not just you! http://packages.ubuntu.com looks down from here." | 09:38 |
| maxexcloo | Anyone know anything about that? | 09:38 |
| tsimpson | maxexcloo: it's being worked on | 09:38 |
| Gedmi | !ask During my ubuntu 12.04 LTS instalation i have faced to one problem. O dunno what to chose creating a new partition. Logical or primary? | 09:38 |
| ubottu | Gedmi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:38 |
| maxexcloo | tsimpson, it seems to be down every time I need it :( | 09:38 |
| mevvis | ryc | 09:38 |
| maxexcloo | Any place I can follow status and such? | 09:38 |
| tsimpson | maxexcloo: there are issues with the server running that domain, the admins are attempting to fix as we speak | 09:39 |
| maxexcloo | Awesome | 09:39 |
| Gedmi | During my ubuntu 12.04 LTS instalation i have faced to one problem. O dunno what to chose creating a new partition. Logical or primary? (Sorry for some flood, just trying without !ask command. I am new here. :) ) | 09:41 |
| fidel | Gedmi: what is the current setup of that box? | 09:42 |
| fidel | Gedmi: as in: is there any other os on use etc? | 09:42 |
| fidel | Gedmi: the !ask command is only used to save keystrokes for the residents inhere - explaining new users how to start getting help inhere. | 09:42 |
| Gedmi | fidel: Yes, i have windows 8 in my pc, but i wanna change my os to Ubuntu, but i wanna keep my ntfs partition alive, cuz there i have all my data.. So in the Installation type menu i have selected something else and now i need to partition my computer or smth.. | 09:45 |
| fidel | Gedmi: well if you want to keep your windows partition - this will include win8 aswell if i understand you correct - create at least 1 additional partition for linux | 09:46 |
| Cart | Hi guys | 09:47 |
| Cart | Could I please quickly have a firewall experts attention ? | 09:47 |
| Gedmi | fidel: No, before i had C and D partitions. In C partition i always keep OS'es and system soft and etc.. In D partition i am storing al my personal data files. So now i need to delete C partition and prepare it for Ubuntu. Am i right or no? :? | 09:47 |
| PrAsHaNt | how to install .deb files ? | 09:47 |
| fidel | Gedmi: well yeah - in theory it should be afaik enough to delete the current C (i.e. from a live cd) reboot usingthe ubuntu cd and start the installation on that free space which was C earlier | 09:48 |
| hateball | !anyone | Cart | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Cart: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 09:49 |
| Cart | Guys Ubuntu works with almost every Intel processor right? that will include lga1155 Pentium G840 - Dual core? | 09:49 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: in case you are asking for HOW to install .deb files from cli - > consider using dpkg | 09:49 |
| Cart | ok | 09:49 |
| fidel | otherwise consider asking a more detailed question | 09:49 |
| Gedmi | fidel: It doesnt need to partition all those swap, /, /home and etc? | 09:49 |
| fidel | Gedmi: thats an option - while you can baiscally use just 1 partition as well | 09:50 |
| fidel | more or less a user/admin preference thing | 09:50 |
| vkas | PrAsHaNt: if you prefer gui, use gdebi | 09:50 |
| PrAsHaNt | fidel, m totally new here , do i have to install dpkg software or something like that? | 09:50 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: as a first step - it would help to ask a clear question ;) | 09:51 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: are you looking on how to do that in GUI or CLI? | 09:51 |
| PrAsHaNt | vkas, okey | 09:51 |
| vkas | PrAsHaNt: install gdebi from software center | 09:51 |
| Cart | ok im thinking of making a Firewall for a small office building that should deny internet acces to some PCs on the network..now the PC will have the following specs, Pentium G840 - Dual core 2.8Ghz 2Gig ram and 250Gig HDD with 2 x 1Gig Lan cards | 09:51 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: and ask yourself why you download a .deb file manually in the first place - as this makes only sense if apt doesnt offer that specific package/version | 09:51 |
| Gedmi | fidel: I see, but what choise is better? And how can i use only 1 partition? I mean what mount point must be? | 09:52 |
| Cart | which ive heard is overkill also | 09:52 |
| PrAsHaNt | i d prefer it any way so longs its installing stuff | 09:52 |
| Cart | Would that work and what can I use in Ubuntu to block IPs etc | 09:53 |
| PrAsHaNt | fidel actually i wanted to install draftsight and i downloaded it lunux version | 09:53 |
| fidel | !info draftsight | 09:54 |
| ubottu | Package draftsight does not exist in precise | 09:54 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: as you see - that package doesnt exist inside the ubuntu repo -> so yes getting it from whatever prjectpage it is and installing it manualy might be the way. as mentioned earlier: you have several ways how to handle a .deb file. the 2 major ways are either using a GUI or a CLI (dpkg command) | 09:55 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: simply double-clicking the .deb should open an install dialog as well (afaik....i never tried that myself) | 09:55 |
| PrAsHaNt | fidel, okey thanks | 09:55 |
| nngger | helloo booboontoos. I have problem wiht update. Usualy I just deactivated "bad" repo, but this time its not good idea, because Java has some security 0day iessues. Look at this picture: http://i.imgur.com/E5wZ6.png | 09:55 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: but again - try to always use APT if possible - its 1 of the big advantages of linux based systems to have a working package-management for most cases | 09:56 |
| PrAsHaNt | fidel, what is apt??? sorry this is my first day in ubuntu | 09:57 |
| fidel | PrAsHaNt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool might explain it better then i can in short | 09:58 |
| PrAsHaNt | fidel, thanks again for the link | 09:58 |
| fidel | in very short: its a cmd/tool to search/install/remove applications/packages in ubuntu/debian/similar | 09:59 |

| Forseti | Hello everyone, i am new here, and i need some help. I wanna change my OS to ubuntu. Am i need to change my all partitions from NTFS to smth? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Forseti: do you plan on leaving windows on your machine ? | 10:09 |
| Forseti | ikonia, yeah, for now i am planing to replace my curently os with ubuntu 12.04 | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: how many hard drives do you have? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Forseti: ok, so you don't want to change your ntfs partitions | 10:10 |
| PrAsHaNt | i am not able to open terminal by ctrl+alt+t | 10:10 |
| mevvis | grub2 settings its to dificult. what a point? | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | mevvis: what? | 10:10 |
| tasslehoff | Anyone with 12.04 on a Lenovo T530 with the minidisplayport working? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Forseti: your windows OS will still want to use NTFS | 10:10 |
| ikonia | tasslehoff: I have it working on a T430s | 10:10 |
| mevvis | good morning dr_willis | 10:11 |
| Forseti | ikonia: No, i want to remove my windows. :) I wanna replace it with ubuntu | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Forseti: in that case, the installer will delete and create new partitions for you | 10:11 |
| Forseti | ikonia, but i have partition where i am storing all my personal data and files | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: backup any imporntant data to some safe place like a external usb drive | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Forseti: ok, so leave that one alone, but as dr_willis if you can, backup | 10:12 |
| Forseti | hm, yeah, maybe i can.. :) | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | data worth keeping.. is data worth backing up.. | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | if its not worth backing up.. well.. | 10:12 |
| Forseti | and when i will back up my all data it will automatically install ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: you can tell the ubuntu isntaller to use the whole drive. or just parts of it | 10:14 |
| Forseti | I mean with all partitions needed? | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | or yiu can define your own partitions | 10:14 |
| pngl | What's the best way to save ssh passphrases under ubuntu? I'm tired of typing them everytime I ssh somewhere. | 10:15 |
| Forseti | And what is the best option? | 10:15 |
| voldyman | i have an old ubuntu about 9.10 or 9.04 can i upgrade it to 12.04?? | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: totally depends on your needs | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | voldyman: should be able to. but it may take some time | 10:15 |
| === robert_ is now known as Guest79330 | ||
| Forseti | dr_willis, i have 650gb hard drive, u think ubuntu needs all this space? Or i just can leave one partition with my files and other partition for ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: you do have a windows restore cd/dvd set made in case you ever want to convert the pc back/sell it? always handy to have. | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: ubuntu can handke a large # of partitions | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | 50gb would be planty for a basic ubuntu install | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | normal ubuntu install uses 2 partitions. one for / and one for 'swap' | 10:18 |
| Forseti | dr_willis, i have cd/dvd with windows it is not a problem, i just want to decide what is the best option. To have ntfs partition of all my files and other partitions for ubuntu or to have all pc based on ubuntu partitions. :) | 10:19 |
| voldyman_ | dr_willis: how? | 10:19 |
| voldyman_ | my network errord | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | not much point in keeping a ntfs partition on a whole ubunty system | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | !upgrade | 10:19 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 10:19 |
| PrAsHaNt | how to open terminal for a particular folder? plz h | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | voldyman_: i find it faster to do clean installs. | 10:20 |
| PrAsHaNt | help* | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | PrAsHaNt: you mean right click on a folder and have a 'open terminal here' item? | 10:21 |
| voldyman_ | dr_willis: its 11.04 | 10:21 |
| voldyman_ | dr_willis: me too but. but its not my computer | 10:21 |
| tsimpson | voldyman_: you can use the instructions here to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades but it may not be very smooth | 10:21 |
| Forseti | dr_willis, so in windows there are disks (C, D, etc..). Is something like that in ubuntu? Or it is just keeping all things in one place? | 10:21 |
| PrAsHaNt | dr_willis, yes | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | 11.04 is not eol so tats a good thing | 10:21 |
| * skraito wow indian is everywhere | 10:21 | |
| * skraito they got telepathy from infra red or what | 10:21 | |
| dr_willis | Forseti: windowas names partitions that way. linux mounts them to different locations | 10:22 |
| voldyman_ | skraito: indian here too. feelsgoodman :) | 10:22 |
| PrAsHaNt | skraito, why are you so much focussed on indians? | 10:22 |
| PrAsHaNt | skraito, any interesting story? | 10:23 |
| skraito | oh yeah | 10:23 |
| skraito | indian is always a cheater | 10:23 |
| Forseti | dr_willis, so you prefer to change all pc hard drive to ubuntu system? | 10:23 |
| skraito | they cheat 20 cent | 10:23 |
| DJones | skraito: Theres no need for comments like that | 10:23 |
| skraito | and cheat another one dollar | 10:23 |

| PrAsHaNt | dr_willis, yes i want "open terminal here "in my right click menu | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | Forseti: for a system thats all linux, noy much to gain by keeping part of it lon ntfs. external usbs perhaps stay with ntfs if you are moveing them from pc to pc.. | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | PrAsHaNt: there used to be a package in the repos that added that feature | 10:24 |
| PrAsHaNt | okey thanks | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | PrAsHaNt: or just open a terminal, type 'cd ' then drag/drop the folder into the terminal | 10:25 |
| PrAsHaNt | dr_willis, thanks a lot , though i ll google that package out | 10:26 |
| savio | hey | 10:26 |
| Forseti | dr_willis, Thank you a lot! I will think about it. :) | 10:26 |
| milo64 | hola | 10:26 |
| savio | is there any way any log files that are generated my network-manager which i can use in case of failure | 10:27 |
| milo64 | dr_willis: byobu in ubuntu and byobu in debian are different versions when installed from apt-get | 10:28 |
| Ora3232 | savio: Look in the log file viewer | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | milo64: thats not supriseing. | 10:28 |
| milo64 | i mean, what version is it in debian and what version is it in ubuntu | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | !info byobu | 10:29 |
| ubottu | byobu (source: byobu): powerful, text based window manager and shell multiplexer. In component main, is optional. Version 5.17-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 83 kB, installed size 418 kB | 10:29 |

| dr_willis | no idea on debian | 10:29 |
| sica | !list | 10:29 |
| ubottu | sica: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | wow yet anothrt caio, list, exit.... | 10:30 |
| tsimpson | !info byobu unstable | 10:30 |
| ubottu | byobu (source: byobu): powerful, text based window manager and shell multiplexer. In component main, is optional. Version 5.16-1 (unstable), package size 130 kB, installed size 418 kB | 10:30 |
| Ora3232 | What has list got to do with warez? What a stupid presumption | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | and they always say caio first.... how.. odd. ;) | 10:31 |
| Eagleman | Why is ubuntu hanging on every reboot, it will take about 3 minutes to boot succesfully: Waiting for network configuration... network file: http://pastebin.com/DdsLLHBz | 10:31 |
| tasslehoff | ikonia: with discrete graphics my t530 won't boot, and with integrated I can't make the minidisplayport work | 10:32 |

| milo64 | uh... that's weird | 10:33 |
| milo64 | the interface is not the same | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | its just a fancy set of configs for tmux or screen last i looked milo64 | 10:34 |
| milo64 | oh wait | 10:34 |
| milo64 | squeeze | 10:34 |
| milo64 | ok. thanks bye | 10:34 |
| sno_ | Hello, I have an ipv6 tunnel setup, is there a way to prevent ipv4 connections to IRC ports 6660-6669 on eth0 but allow connections through ipv6 via iptables? When I deny those ports on eth0 I´m also not able to connect through the ipv6. | 10:35 |
| g105b | is it possible to install mysql and php to a directory within $HOME to not interfere with possible installed versions ? | 10:41 |
| PrAsHaNt | dr_willis, sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal | 10:41 |
| pngl | I want to update a machine with 9.04 on it. But the packages are gone from archive.ubuntu.org. What should I do? | 10:42 |
| tsimpson | pngl: you can use the instructions here to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades but it may not be very smooth | 10:42 |
| dr_willis | 3 years worth of updates. :) | 10:44 |

| Ora3232 | sno_: Presume you're using ip6tables already? | 10:48 |
| florica76 | . | 10:50 |
| Ora3232 | sno_: As far as I understood it, iptables only applies to v4 and ip6tables only applies to v6 traffic, so using the two you should be able to setup appropriate rules | 10:51 |
| === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan | ||
| === florin is now known as Guest93326 | ||
| sno_ | Ora3232, thanks for the reply. Now If I use iptables for ipv4/eth0 why would it prevent traffic on the ipv6 device? ;/ | 10:57 |
| sno_ | I am aware of ip6tables, I haven´t configured any rules for it, I´m fine with the ipv6 being completely open, it sounds like since it is an ipv6 tunnel, I may need to configure some rules between iptables and ip6tables? Maybe some kind of forwarding? | 10:58 |
| bustacap | How can I hide ALL echoing from wget? | 11:00 |
| sno_ | Now, given I am connecting to a ipv6 irc server, there shouldn´t be any communication between ipv4/eth0 and that ipv6 irc server. | 11:00 |
| tsimpson | bustacap: add -o /dev/null | 11:00 |
| sno_ | I´m trying to figure out why disabling ports on ipv4/eth0 affects the ipv6/he-ipv6 device. It shouldn´t. | 11:01 |
| sno_ | hmmm | 11:01 |
| bustacap | tsimpson, you're the man. thanks ;) | 11:01 |

| meisth0th | yulio: then i have no idea | 11:25 |
| meisth0th | dhruvasagar: why do you use google-chrome? | 11:25 |
| meisth0th | dhruvasagar: you can install chromium-browser from official repositories? | 11:25 |

| j2daosh | hey all. quick question concerning the autostart | 11:39 |
| Eagleman | !ask | 11:39 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 11:39 |
| j2daosh | how do i turn on logging for an application? remote desktop doesn't log by default (which is freaking retarded in my opinion) and I want to start it so it creates a log | 11:39 |
| fidel | j2daosh: might depends on the remote desktop app you use in the first place | 11:40 |
| j2daosh | i attempted to add >> /var/log/vnc.log to the auto start, but that didn't work and only said it couldn't open the display | 11:40 |
| fidel | some apps do log into syslog - checked that? | 11:40 |
| j2daosh | fidel: its xrdc | 11:40 |
| fidel | j2daosh: so check first what this specific app is supposed to do according to the dev/docs | 11:41 |
| j2daosh | fidel: yeah, and checked the auth log. no mention. but when i netstat -tp|grep ESTAB, i see people connected to the vino-server from china | 11:41 |
| j2daosh | and thats when i killed it and decided to start logging lol | 11:41 |
| dhruvasagar | btw chromium works like a charm :) | 11:42 |
| AdvoWork | I have a virtual machine, running ubuntu 12.04 server, and have a few cifs and nfs mounts in /etc/fstab. These work fine, but I rebooted all VM's yesterday, and even though they boot in order, the ubuntu server must have come up before the file server(therefore the VM didnt boot due to mount errors). Is there anything I can do? | 11:44 |
| eleazar | hey guys, random question, is there a vnc or ssh server automatically running on ubuntu? i forgot to start teamviewer before i left for work and now i can't access the box, but i have another pc on the network that i could use to ssh or vnc with | 11:44 |
| johnm | AdvoWork: there are several options, but one of the simplest would be to look at using autofs opposed to static mounts of nfs volumes. | 11:45 |
| dengke | hey guys | 11:46 |
| dhanasekaran | Hi guys I am to cloud with ubuntu, Basic difference between ubuntu iso, and cloud-image iso, please guide me | 11:46 |
| dengke | This is my first time using IRC | 11:48 |
| fidel | dhanasekaran: consider rephrasing your question. personaly i do know there are ubuntu desktop & server & alternative isos ... but never heard of an cloud iso | 11:48 |
| dhruvasagar | btw I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook pro, except for the work around for installing wireless firmware drivers, which is very well documented I might add, everything works quite well! | 11:48 |

| SolarAquarion | Some on my ubuntu system is wrong http://privatepaste.com/76ec175a69 | 11:52 |
| bazhang | SolarAquarion, what version of ubuntu | 11:52 |
| SolarAquarion | 12.10 | 11:52 |
| bazhang | SolarAquarion, this is not the channel for 12.10 | 11:53 |
| MonkeyDust | SolarAquarion try #ubuntu+1 | 11:53 |
| SolarAquarion | MonkeyDust and Bazhang i'm there | 11:54 |
| bazhang | SolarAquarion, so be patient | 11:54 |
| johnm | SolarAquarion: I'd question why it's trying to import the linuxmint object on a vanilla ubuntu install. | 11:56 |
| tasslehoff | will it work to install nvidia-current when I'm running on internal graphics only (set in bios)? | 11:56 |
| johnm | s/object/module/ | 11:56 |
| lazio83 | ciao | 11:57 |
| SolarAquarion | johnm because my system isn't a vanilla install | 11:57 |
| lazio83 | List! | 11:58 |
| MonkeyDust | idd "ImportError: No module named linuxmint" | 11:58 |
| johnm | SolarAquarion: Then what is it? if it's a problem of linuxmint, then it's probably best looking to the linuxmint guys | 11:58 |
| SolarAquarion | But i'm using ubuntu 12.10 | 11:59 |
| johnm | SolarAquarion: if it's something you've recently changed yourself, it's unlikely to expect a lot of help for an ubuntu release thats not yet been released. | 11:59 |
| SolarAquarion | i know | 11:59 |
| fidel | i guess someone mentioned #ubuntu+1 already right? | 11:59 |
| SolarAquarion | yep | 11:59 |
| SolarAquarion | ......... and i'm waiting | 11:59 |
| johnm | SolarAquarion: But you've not explained what you've done for it to look to import linuxmint related material. If you're pasting that error you won't het much response. Outline in #ubuntu+1 what you've done to cause this problem, and if they can direct you on an appropriate solution | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | SolarAquarion, While you're waiting, there's also the ubuntuforums.org; if you haven't searched already. | 12:00 |
| MonkeyDust | SolarAquarion start from the beginning, what were you doing and why, before you came here for help | 12:01 |
| SolarAquarion | I had a linux mint 11 (Katya) which I uprgraded to Maya which I upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | SolarAquarion a diffzerent distro is not an upgrade | 12:05 |
| johnm | SolarAquarion: I would strongly suggest just installing a fresh ubuntu 12.10 and copying over what you require from backups | 12:05 |
| johnm | your $HOME is mostly portable, and most other things (on a desktop environment) should carry sane defaults, it's a fairly straight forward job | 12:05 |
| SolarAquarion | okay......... | 12:06 |
| johnm | You'll get no end of cruft carried over from linuxmint, since they do alter more than you might anticipate - which is of course why you see the current issues. | 12:06 |
| MonkeyDust | IIRC, mint is based on debian, not on ubuntu | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | i think they have variants on both | 12:08 |
| dr_willis | i just stick with ubuntu. ;) | 12:09 |
| ViaNocturna | MonkeyDust: That's incorrect, uname will list Mint as Ubuntu | 12:10 |
| MonkeyDust | ViaNocturna you're right, just tried it in vbox | 12:13 |
| ViaNocturna | MonkeyDust: It's okay, it all leads back to Debian eventually lol | 12:14 |
| zykotick9 | MonkeyDust: <OT> there is a mint based on debian LMDE | 12:18 |

| ugly | In the /etc/default/grub directory, what do i have to edit so that i will be able to select either my linux system or my windows os? | 12:23 |
| zykotick9 | ugly: try running "sudo update-grub" and see if it gets automatically added. | 12:24 |
| zykotick9 | ugly: fyi /etc/default/ is the directory, grub is a file ;) | 12:24 |
| ugly | thank you i tried, normally it says skipping windows nt but this time it said nothing | 12:26 |
| ugly | Also i have tried to find the Grub Device map so that i can see where windows was located but i was unsuccessful, do you have the command for that? | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | should be in /boot/grub ugly | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | or /boot/ | 12:29 |
| m3pow | hello , anyone knows how can i install the documentation on ruby so i can access it from terminal | 12:29 |
| ugly | i tried /boot/grub/menu.lst and got permission denied, next step? | 12:30 |
| p1l0t | what does the t in drwxrwxrwt mean? | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | menu.lst is not used by grub2. | 12:31 |

| delinquentme | SO say someone gives me access to a server that they own ... THey've got a user for me ... and I'm wondering how secure the password I update my user with is | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | \/etc/default/grub for grub2 users , menu.lst is for legacy grub | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | ugly: and what do you mean 'tried' ? | 12:32 |
| delinquentme | Is it hard for them to get the password for my user account if they're an admin? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: normally quite difficult | 12:32 |
| p1l0t | d = directory ; r = read ; w = write ; x = execute ; t = ? | 12:32 |
| delinquentme | dr_willis, noted | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | pick a long password if you are parasnoid | 12:33 |
| zykotick9 | don't use a "password" at all! use a "pass sentence" 14 characters or more type thing | 12:33 |
| delinquentme | so this is something hashed / encrypted sooo the longer it is ... the more difficult? | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | yes delinquentme | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | i saw the maths once.. longer = better then more random but shorter | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | but this is getting into the tinfoil hat paranoia level | 12:35 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: less then 14-18 characters can be stored on a dvd rainbow table... so anything short is already decrypted | 12:35 |
| p1l0t | 0_o | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | dna scanners.. | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | ugly: best to keep it in the channel. im at work and may have to leave at any time | 12:37 |

| ugly | ok appreciate it i will try that, i have tried rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader+1, is that close? | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | i dont even know what you are trying to do | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | that looks like the old grub1 syntax. ubuntu uses grub2 nirmally these days | 12:39 |
| ugly | oh for some reason when i downloaded ubuntu it took away my boot option menu so it boots straight to linux | 12:40 |

| dr_willis | BobMarley: youcan resize the panel yes. | 12:45 |

| unless_ | geekbri, 8.04 I think | 13:03 |
| dn4 | so at least 4 years | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | !8.04 | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 13:03 |

| belugs | dr_willis: neither me.. but, my worker deleted one dbf.. and backup is old !!! | 13:03 |

| fidel | unless_: well getting support for such old versions will get harder and harder over time ;) | 13:04 |
| geekbri | unless_: you could also try "dpkg --get-selections | grep openssh-server" to see if its even installed | 13:05 |
| unless_ | geekbri, 4853 | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | ssh localhost ;) | 13:05 |
| geekbri | Of course, that is assuming that is still what the package was called 4 years ago :) | 13:05 |
| geekbri | unless_: seems like its running to me! | 13:05 |

| unless_ | well, it is 99% certain ssh is working because mpitch is. | 13:05 |
| unless_ | it is connected locally. | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | then time to check the firewall rules and ssh logs | 13:06 |
| geekbri | could always sudo netstat -natpl | grep LISTEN.*sshd | 13:06 |

| sogeking99 | Hey guys, I want to migrate my install from wubi to be a duel boot. When I installed it I choose a small, partition, around 30GB. I am following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi I see sda4 matches that size, but has mount point as '/host' | 13:07 |

| BluesKaj | sogeking99, but that might just be a temporary mountpoint until all is trnsferred to the new partition | 13:24 |
| sogeking99 | usr13, no, I think wubi handled everything | 13:24 |
| usr13 | sogeking99: Oh? "This document describes how to migrate a Wubi install to partition. The partition(s) must be created already." | 13:25 |
| sogeking99 | BluesKaj, do you think I should just try? 'owner@ubuntu:~/Downloads/wubi-move-2.2$ sudo bash wubi-move-2.2.sh /dev/sda4' | 13:25 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest43972 | ||
| usr13 | sogeking99: I've never done this before, but the first paragraph indicates, (to me), that you have to first create the partitions. | 13:25 |

| LennyLinux | Hi, i installed the ruby1.9.1-examples package and tried to find the examples with locate command, but it didn't work. How or where can i find the installed examples? | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | sogeking99, in order to dual boot you need a separate ext partition for ubuntu to be copied to | 13:27 |
| usr13 | "The examples shown below assume the target partition is /dev/sda5 and the swap partition (if required) is /dev/sda6." So the question is, how many partitions do you have now? | 13:27 |
| Ora3232 | LennyLinux: The package manager can tell you where things are installed | 13:27 |
| Ora3232 | LennyLinux: rtfm for the command | 13:27 |
| Nunners | Can someone provide some assistance setting up vsftpd so that I can access sftp owned directories?! | 13:27 |
| LennyLinux | Ora3232: which command sorry? | 13:28 |
| sogeking99 | BluesKaj, the only free one is this 30GB one, which is where wubi installed ubuntu. So I need to make a new partition somehow? | 13:29 |
| LennyLinux | Ora3232: aptitude? | 13:29 |
| sogeking99 | usr13, sorry. | 13:29 |
| Ora3232 | LennyLinux: dpkg -L <package name> | 13:30 |
| usr13 | sogeking99: Maybe the script does create partitions but I doubt it because you can not re-partition when the existing ones are mounted unless you have free (unused/unpartitioned) space on your HD. | 13:30 |
| flrns | how do i install a printer (samsung ml 1670) using the splix package? | 13:30 |
| flrns | or splix driver | 13:30 |
| Ora3232 | LennyLinux: You can also do it by right clicking on the package in Synaptic (don't think there's an equivalent in the dumbed down Ubuntu software thing) | 13:30 |
| flrns | i just installed the package, but the driver doenst appear in the "install driver" dialog | 13:30 |

| BluesKaj | sogeking99, that tutorial seems risky to me , save your data in a separate dir in windows then use gparted to set up proper partitons for windows and linux , then use the live media to install the ubuntu OS , that would be the best method You can transfer your data from the saved windows dir /folder to ubuntu very easliy after the install | 13:33 |
| usr13 | sogeking99: Yes, you need to boot from liveCD and shrink one or more partitions in order to make at least 30G free space. (I recommend more, much more.) | 13:34 |
| usr13 | sogeking99: Now I am not an authority on migraging wubi. Like I said, I've never done it. But I do know how to re-partition and make room for a Linux install, so... | 13:35 |

| dn4 | why does ubuntu need to upgrade flash; and I cannot find an upgrade for youtube | 14:17 |
| nsx | flash on linux is discontinued anyway | 14:19 |
| nsx | basically, if you want flash in linux, use chrome. | 14:19 |
| dn4 | then how does one view youtube with out flash? | 14:19 |
| nsx | use chrome. | 14:19 |
| nsx | google has a special license to bundle flash within chrome. | 14:19 |
| === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 | ||
| nsx | it's the only way you're going to be able to keep an updated web flash player in linux from here on out. | 14:20 |
| dn4 | hmmm what will replace flash in the future? | 14:20 |
| nsx | the linux/NSAPI flash is completely dead, though | 14:20 |
| dn4 | since linux discontinued it | 14:20 |
| nsx | linux didn't discontinue it.. adobe discontinued NSAPI flash on linux | 14:20 |
| Pici | nsx: dn4: There are still flash packages available for Ubuntu. | 14:21 |
| dn4 | oh well that is a conundrum if ever. | 14:21 |
| Pici | dn4: Perhaps you should clarify what you mean by "why does ubuntu need to upgrade flash"? | 14:21 |
| nsx | Pici: I never said they weren't. but they're already obsolete. | 14:21 |
| nsx | Pici: and any site that requires the latest version will not work with them | 14:22 |
| nsx | chrome is the only recourse | 14:22 |
| dn4 | I just installed; went to youtube; needs latest flash; had to install a package | 14:22 |
| dn4 | no worries I figured it out | 14:22 |
| nsx | I think it's a lost cause to even worry about the NSAPI flash plugin anymore. | 14:22 |
| joeblow | just install the Restricted Extras package on ubuntu | 14:23 |
| nsx | not only are you opening yourself up to security vulnerabilities, you're quickly going to find that it won't work with a lot of sites. | 14:23 |
| dr_willis | joeblow: insuall the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package | 14:23 |
| Pici | nsx: while updates are no longer viable, I don't think that dn4 was actually looking for an update, but rather the initial install of flash. | 14:23 |

| * sambagirl grins :D | 14:49 | |
| finga_ | dr_willis: yea i think i can also mount it in shell but its for a user who as no idea about the shell | 14:49 |
| dr_willis | ^DEMOSS^: i would guess that you got some weird hard drive parrtitions going on. | 14:49 |
| dr_willis | finga_: you do NOT mount a music cd. | 14:49 |
| finga_ | dr_willis: aha ok, but any way i cant use it in mixxx | 14:50 |
| dr_willis | you tell the app the cd is at /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom and it should figure it out | 14:50 |
| dr_willis | no idea what mixx wants | 14:50 |
| dr_willis | if it wants audio files. you rip the cd to the proper files/format | 14:50 |
| finga_ | dr_willis: ok ^^ i will try #mixxx too thx a lot anyhow | 14:50 |
| freakolowsky | lo | 14:51 |

| deadmund | samsamsupersam: no | 14:55 |
| samsamsupersam | deadmund: thanks | 14:55 |
| Pricey | samsamsupersam: I'm intrigued as to what method you're using to resize 'left'? | 14:55 |
| samsamsupersam | Pricey: gparted. i have a partition before it that i've cleared out | 14:56 |
| deadmund | Pricey: I'm assuming he has unallocated disc space | 14:56 |
| tuffgong | Pricey, failed to deliver me to the php channel | 14:57 |
| Pricey | samsamsupersam: oh, i guess you're going to 'move' it first, then resize it... | 14:57 |
| iNTEl | any one playing conquer online here ? | 14:57 |
| samsamsupersam | Pricey: yup | 14:57 |
| iNTEl | cuz i wanna play it and it .exe | 14:57 |
| iNTEl | so i don't know what should i do ? XD | 14:57 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: Check out http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 14:58 |
| Pricey | deadmund: Right, but resizing 'left' isn't really possible, which was my confusion. | 14:58 |
| deadmund | Pricey: I think he means 'left over' not 'in the left-ward direction' | 14:58 |
| EroXXX | Hi. I've closed out myself out of the sudoers File and the grub recovery is not shown up as a possibility at startup. Is there a way to fix it? | 14:59 |
| === xazax is now known as Guest373 | ||
| Pricey | deadmund: I don't think that interpretation makes sense in the original question. | 14:59 |
| samsamsupersam | deadmund: it is in the left-ward direction | 14:59 |
| MonkeyDust | EroXXX use a live cd or usb, edit the sudo-file on your hdd | 14:59 |
| Pricey | EroXXX: Are you sure grub isn't? hammer Esc? | 15:00 |
| unless | How do I search for a given package I want to install? | 15:00 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| === Guest373 is now known as xazax_ | ||
| MonkeyDust | unless apt-cache search | 15:00 |
| Pricey | EroXXX: If you can get a grub menu, you can always edit the boot parameters to boot into a single user mode... but if you've a live cd handy then that's probably an easier way to go. | 15:00 |
| deadmund | Pricey: samsamsupersam In that case, you'll notice that gparted will take a LONG TIME to repartition because it will have to copy all that data to a new physical location on the disc (left-ward). This has a higher chance of data-loss but if the re-partitioning does not fail there should be no data loss. | 15:01 |
| EroXXXi | Ok, but is there another way? I'm in the train now and have nothing with me and need to work with the Laptop now | 15:01 |
| iNTEl | pricey : is it will work | 15:02 |
| iNTEl | ? | 15:02 |
| iNTEl | its looks like 110 MB | 15:02 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: Have you searched wine's app database for your application? | 15:02 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: The link I gave you? | 15:02 |
| zanybrain | EroXXXi: give the left shift key a try just after POST … just hold it down | 15:03 |
| iNTEl | ya | 15:03 |
| iNTEl | pricey : its not in top 25 | 15:04 |
| iNTEl | pricey : i see another way to make it work | 15:04 |
| iNTEl | but its need playonlinux | 15:04 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: search for it | 15:04 |
| iNTEl | and wine together | 15:04 |
| deadmund | unless: aptitude search <package name guess> | 15:04 |
| deadmund | unless: without the <'s | 15:04 |
| iNTEl | i searched but i found only hard way | 15:04 |
| iNTEl | pricey : would u like 2 take the link | 15:04 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: how hard is this to grasp | 15:05 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: search the link Pricey gave you for your game | 15:05 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: that will tell you if it's supported | 15:05 |
| iNTEl | ikonia : am gonna 2 | 15:05 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: wine is free. There are other alternatives such as crossover (a commercial version of wine) which have their own app databases. | 15:05 |
| Pyr0_Audax | a | 15:06 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: right - so until you've searched the link and found out it's support status, there is no point having additional discussion | 15:06 |
| Pyr0_Audax | why is my name grey? | 15:06 |
| iNTEl | pricey , ikonia : https://www.google.com.eg/#hl=ar&q=conquer+online+on+ubuntu&oq=conquer+online+on+ub&gs_l=serp.3.0.0i30.11840.14000.0.15192.11.9.1.1.1.0.221.1191.4j4j1.9.0...0.0...1c.1.GDCX3ClwmGE&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=f1348b7686edce2&biw=975&bih=646 | 15:06 |

| ikonia | iNTEl: again - not what you where told to do | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | Pyr0_Audax: its hot pink here | 15:07 |

| ikonia | iNTEl: nothing else | 15:07 |
| Pyr0_Audax | cool | 15:07 |
| deadmund | Pyr0_Audax: Your client is doing it for you. | 15:07 |
| iNTEl | k | 15:07 |
| iNTEl | ikonia : relax , XD | 15:07 |
| Pricey | Pyr0_Audax: Most channels on the network are +c which blocks colour from being sent to the channel. | 15:07 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: I am relaxed, | 15:07 |
| Pyr0_Audax | oh, ok | 15:07 |
| Pricey | Pyr0_Audax: You can see what modes are set on the channel with '/mode #channel' | 15:08 |
| Pyr0_Audax | ok ill try that | 15:08 |
| Pricey | Pyr0_Audax: Nicknames themselves will never be coloured by others... nor will any status messages such as join/parts/quits/kicks/mode changes etc. etc. They are all down to the client to do what they want with. | 15:08 |
| Pricey | Pyr0_Audax: The contents of messages though are fair game... though as I said, because this channel is +c, clients that allow you to "colour" text... won't work. | 15:09 |
| Pyr0_Audax | wat does Channel #ubuntu modes: +CLcntjf 5:10 #ubuntu-unregged | 15:09 |
| Pyr0_Audax | * Channel #ubuntu created on Sat Nov 25 22:42:41 2006 mean | 15:09 |
| Pricey | Pyr0_Audax: +CLcntjf - each one of those is a different channel mode. http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml | 15:09 |
| Pyr0_Audax | ok | 15:09 |
| iNTEl | ikonia : i think the wine doesn't support it | 15:10 |
| ikonia | iNTEl: there you go then | 15:10 |

| Pricey | Hang on... iNTEl... isn't this game a browser game? | 15:14 |
| Pricey | iNTEl: is it even released yet? | 15:14 |
| Wishing | how do i edit sudoers file if i am logged in using usb stick. what is the command in cli | 15:15 |
| seednode | sudo visudo? | 15:15 |
| Pricey | Wishing: I'd "chroot /path/to/mounted/root" then "visudo" | 15:16 |
| Pricey | seednode: that would change the sudoers file on the usb stick | 15:16 |
| seednode | Well, I assumed he was already chrooted. | 15:16 |
| SilfenX | Hell! I just installed Pangolin Server and wanted to add the Gnome3 desktop to it and followed these instructions (http://pastebin.com/ADLYP2M5) but when the machine reboots I still end up at the CLI loginprompt. I'd be much obliged if someone could help me get the machine to boot the Gnome3 desktop properly. | 15:16 |
| seednode | I'd think you'd do that first thing when repairing a borked install. | 15:16 |
| Pricey | seednode: if chrooted, why the sudo ;) | 15:17 |

| alecb | I just got a new t430 which can't seem to connect reliably to certain wifi networks that work fine in windows (though some do work well in ubuntu, like my personal wifi). I went though some steps with someone else on here before and I think we concluded that I am using the proprietary drivers in ubuntu. any ideas on what the problem might be? | 15:25 |

| ikonia | joelio: what device is plugged in | 15:28 |
| alecb | TheLordOfTime: are there other commands I should run after that? It's easier if you give me a bunch of commands at once since I'm in windows and I need to switch back every time | 15:28 |

| joelio | ikonia: there are no devices plugged in | 15:28 |

| * joelio grmbles | 15:36 | |
| Guest22660 | ActionParsnip , i mean it has to be something else, maybe it s just incompatibility | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Wishing: sudo adduser nameofuser | 15:37 |
| roasted | Question - I downloaded a program which runs by executing it via "./nameoffile".... I was going to just map a keyboard shortcut to it so I don't have to launch it via terminal each time, but I Got to wondering - is there a way to include this particular application within my application menu of Unity? | 15:37 |
| dr_willis | Wishing: chroot into the installed system then use adduser as root | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest22660: but did you test it, it's a simple questin | 15:37 |
| Guest22660 | ActionParsnip , i did | 15:37 |

| OerHeks | Guest22660, if the ssd is Sata3, that could be a problem | 15:37 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest22660: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? | 15:37 |
| dr_willis | roasted: make a proper whatever.desktop file for it and copy that .desktop fine to the right location | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Wishing: then you will need to chroot, why not boot to root recovery mode on the installed OS and do it there instead? | 15:38 |
| Guest22660 | ActionParsnip , i did burn slowly as possible , it s sata 2 | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest22660: what is? | 15:38 |
| Wishing | ActionParsnip, what is chroot? | 15:38 |
| roasted | dr_willis: ahh, .desktop files. right. do I need to create one based on specific parameters? Or is a .desktop file just some sort of link? | 15:38 |
| Guest22660 | ActionParsnip , the ssd drive | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Wishing: where you switch the system your commands act on from the live USB to the installed OS, very powerful | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | roasted: its a file.. your system had 100's of them. | 15:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Wishing an installation inside an installation, so to say | 15:39 |
| dr_willis | roasted: look at gedit.desktop for an example | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: if you copy one from ~/.config/autorun you can modify it and throw it in /usr/share/applications | 15:39 |
| roasted | dr_willis: I see that. I just ran locate .desktop in term. Quite a few different paths as well. Is there a specific path I should be looking for? | 15:39 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: cool, thanks | 15:39 |
| Wishing | ActionParsnip, so how do i do chroot to add another user? | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: you may need a script to cd to the containing folder first, then execute the binary if the pwd is significant | 15:40 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: the autorun part has me a little lost tho. | 15:40 |
| dr_willis | roasted: user made ones in .config/applications or .local/applications i recall | 15:40 |
| alecb | my lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1200740/ | 15:40 |
| roasted | dr_willis: are they a headache to create? | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Wishing: omgubuntu has a guide called 'sticking it to grub' you can use that. You just need to change the word 'bind' for '--bind' in the guide | 15:40 |
| dr_willis | roasted: look at gedit.desktop and see.. rather trivial text file | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: the ones in ~/.config/autorun are simple, make a copy of one and you can edit it in your favourite text editor | 15:41 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip: I don't see autorun, though | 15:41 |
| heatmsier | anyone know much about wine in here | 15:41 |

| SilfenX | Hello! I just installed Pangolin Server and wanted to add the Gnome3 desktop to it and followed these instructions (http://pastebin.com/ADLYP2M5) but when the machine reboots I still end up at the CLI loginprompt. I'd be much obliged if someone could help me get the machine to boot the Gnome3 desktop properly. | 15:47 |
| Wishing | ActionParsnip, okay let me check that | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | SilfenX: why didn't you just install the desktop OS? | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Wishing: can you see why the page is useful now? | 15:48 |
| SilfenX | Wishing: Because I dont want the unity desktop | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | SilfenX: you don't have to use unity SHELL, Unity isn't a desktop | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | SilfenX: you can install Xubuntu and use XFCE desktop and Unity isn't even installed. Xubuntu is also fully support by the Ubuntu community and is also LTS | 15:49 |
| SilfenX | Ok, I ll keep that in mind until net time. Is there a way to get this installation to boot into Gone3, since it s all there already? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | SilfenX: the Gnome3 desktop is also used in the default Ubuntu 12.04 install. Do you want to use Gnome-shell instead of Unity by any chance? | 15:50 |

| dr_willis | SilfenX: id purge that ppa and install the gnome-shell from the default repos. its possible that ppa is broken | 15:51 |
| SilfenX | dr_willis: you think that might be the reason for it not booting into the gnome shell/desktop? | 15:53 |
| dr_willis | SilfenX: i just said its possible.... | 15:53 |
| dr_willis | be sure you got lightdm installed also | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | SilfenX: if you added a ppa then yes its likely to be causing issues, gnome-shell is already in the ubuntu repos so is ready to install without adding anything | 15:53 |

| black_13 | can the preseed file on the desktop iso be modified or if modified will it be used to preconfigure the install process? | 15:58 |
| xangua | SilfenX: no, Ubuntu already uses gnome3 ; i would just download and install ubuntu desktop iso and then install gnome shell | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | !prseed | 15:59 |

| CatKiller | Hi there! I have a quick question about sockets in general. Let's imagine I have a synchronous (blocking) socket connected and waiting for data. Now I also catch user signals using signal.signal, and when catching a "kill" signal, I do "socket.close()". Because the "signal" is processed as an interrupt, it kills my socket "ungracefully". Is there any way to close it in a better way? | 16:02 |
| dr_willis | upset id say check askubuntu.com themeing is complex to do it right | 16:02 |
| upset | dr_willis: Thanks | 16:02 |

| Punisher_ | what should i do? | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Punisher_: you can set a blank keyring pass and it won't bother you | 16:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Igmu: what is the issue? | 16:05 |
| Punisher_ | ActionParsnip: so why is the reason that i cannot download with vuze because it says failed to create a....directory on a drive which has plenty free space and it used to download the same file on it...file partially downloaded | 16:05 |

| Punisher_ | ? | 16:05 |
| Punisher_ | dr_willis: i did what u said but nothing came out of it.... | 16:06 |

| heatmsier | there is my dilemma | 16:11 |
| rbrooks | hi can someone help? | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Punisher_: NTFS cannot hold Linux permissions, so you need to set the file accessing at mount time to apply to the whole storage rather than granular settings like the Lnux file systems you have | 16:11 |
| Punisher_ | ActionParsnip: how can i make sure that it is writable? no it's my hdd | 16:11 |

| clausen | tu | 16:15 |
| Punisher_ | alpre: where can i find that? | 16:15 |
| alpre | Punisher_: otherwise you can use fmask and dmask to give all users the same partitions | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Punisher_: there are plenty of guides online for how to add an NTFS partition to /etc/fstab I gotta jet now but a bit of searching online will show you how. Its not hard at all. You will need: sudo blkid to get the UUID of the NTFS partition and: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab to get write access to the file. | 16:15 |
| alpre | Punisher_: in the manual | 16:15 |
| iNTEl | or ubuntu is not failing like windows ?? , i mean could it still for years | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | iNTEl: if the software supports Ext4, then yes | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: clonezilla and g4l can do sim iler things in linux | 16:15 |

"Start ubuntu setup" from the install usb I made.. I get this question.. "Undefined video mode number: 0" .. And when it tries to boot X11(the installer) the driver seems to crash.. and I get strange colors and nothing happens. Any tips? :) | 16:30 |

| jakemp | or has something changed since I least read up on it? | 16:34 |

| esing | hfic So basically I should installed Windows 7 before Ubuntu avoiding to overwrite the MBR of Ubuntu correcT? | 16:37 |

| esing | *install | 16:38 |
| * deadmund chokes on usb flash drive caught in his throught | 16:38 | |
| deadmund | esing: Windows 7 first. (yes) | 16:38 |
| esing | Thanks | 16:38 |
| deadmund | esing: Windows 7 will over-write the MBR. Ubuntu will again in a correct way that lets you boot both OS's | 16:39 |
| alpre | esing: you can always fix mbr in both ways | 16:39 |
| seednode | You could always fix it manually, though. | 16:39 |
| bjrohan | How do I disable auto-login for normal boot when logged booted into recovery? | 16:39 |
| alpre | "fix" | 16:39 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: i think its set in the lightdm.conf file | 16:40 |
| esing | How can change boot order and the time of the boot screen when booting? | 16:40 |
| jakemp | will Ubuntu 12.04 get the open source AMD drivers for the 7000 chipsets? | 16:40 |
| esing | +I | 16:40 |
| jakemp | or will that require 12.10? | 16:40 |
| alpre | esing: you edit /etc/default/grub | 16:40 |
| deadmund | alpre: not anymore? | 16:40 |
| bjrohan | dr_willis where is that file found? | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: use 'locate filename' | 16:41 |
| alpre | edit it, deadmund that's the new grub2, isn't it? | 16:41 |
| bjrohan | ok | 16:41 |
| deadmund | alpre: IDK. Stupid grub2 vs grub differences. I can't remember | 16:41 |
| deadmund | bjrohan: It's probably in /etc/ | 16:41 |
| alpre | deadmund: before it was /boot/menu.lst or something | 16:41 |
| deadmund | alpre: yeah... | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | grub1 = menu.lst | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | grub2 has config files you edit, then update-grub reads them then makes a /boot/grub/grub.cfg i belive | 16:42 |

| === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest8586 | ||
| dr_willis | apt-get only works with the package manager apps.. what specifically do you mean delinquentme | 16:46 |
| theadmin | delinquentme: It will be able to remove any packages on your system. Long as they are installed with dpkg. | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | you can use apt-get to remove apps installed with ANY of the apt tools | 16:47 |
| delinquentme | dr_willis, I downloaded a package and installed it locally ( not using apt-get ) | 16:47 |
| delinquentme | sudo gem install rubygems-update-1.6.2.gem | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | installed it HOW exactly | 16:47 |
| delinquentme | is what I ran .. and now I'd like to uninstall that | 16:47 |
| delinquentme | I used wget to download the file | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | gem is a ruby thing/package manager for ruby things | 16:48 |
| deadmund | delinquentme: gem is not an apt tool so apt-get will not uninstall it. I'm guessing sudo gem uninstall <thing> | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | other labguages have similer 'tools' perl has its cpan stuff. not sure about python. ;) | 16:49 |
| Pici | dr_willis: pip or setuptools/easy_install or anything that can interface with the Python Package Index. | 16:50 |
| deadmund | The python modules are all part of your distros packages. Apparently many developers do not like this but I prefer it. | 16:50 |
| deadmund | Pici: But I think that is rarely used. (pip that is) | 16:50 |

| smt | is there any way to update to 12.04 without breaking gnome? | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | watukka: depends on the windows app. not all work in wine | 16:53 |

| theadmin | watukka: Nope. I suggest you install PlayOnLinux though. It's a tool to manage wine stuff in an easy way | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | smt: gnome2 is basically dead.. | 16:53 |
| delinquentme | I'm not sure if that tells me anything useful? Or maybe its saying that its not even installed? | 16:54 |

| watukka | oh ok thx alot | 16:54 |
| smt | damn | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | amazing how people forget all of gnome2's failings when its gone.. ;) | 16:55 |
| Pici | theadmin: pip 1.0 (which has shipped in Ubuntu since Oneiric) supports python 3. If you're on an older release, I suppose you could use easy_install to install pip and then use that.... or grab the deb from a newer release (although I'm not supposed to tell you to do that) | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | delinquentme: what version of gem are you running? | 16:55 |
| Igmu | I used killall pulseaudio. System monitor shows process killed, sleeping. Volume mutes, then full... No actual sound. | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | delinquentme: and what version of ruby | 16:55 |
| theadmin | Pici: See, there's one problem with pip in Precise, it depends on python-setuptools which doesn't work with python3. It's supposed to use python-distribute... | 16:56 |
| Pici | theadmin: ooh. | 16:57 |
| SilfenX | OT: Hmm, since I'm out fresh out of CD-ROM s, is it possible to burn a CD-ROM image to a DVD-R? | 16:57 |
| Pici | SilfenX: sure | 16:57 |
| SilfenX | Pici: ty | 16:57 |
| theadmin | Pici: So even if pip has internal support for python3, it won't work long as the distribute backend is not installed :( | 16:59 |

| deadmund | esing: I have no idea what webconverger is. the topic of porn is off-topic / not really allowed here. It is the safest way to browse said sites in my opinion. | 17:13 |
| deadmund | esing: Linux in general is the safest way to browse the web. | 17:14 |
| jrib | tarwich: also, those settings should be accessible through the display/monitor/power saving gui | 17:15 |
| tarwich | jrib: Everything in that GUI is turned completely off. I'm running the desktop on tty7 and a terminal on tty3. However, I'm controlling tty3 through ssh, so the system isn't getting any mouse/keypresses, so the monitor keeps going off. | 17:16 |

| jrib | tarwich: Check out the various options to setterm (though I don't know how one saves these). I would see if it does what you want first though, and then worry about saving | 17:18 |
| tarwich | jrib: tty3 is just a plain text console. But when I google "monitor blanking every 10 minutes" people suggest setterm -powersave off, which gives me an error that google says is related to the tty7 having X on it. | 17:18 |

| unless | This error log is at: https://gist.github.com/3708186 | 17:21 |

| ubuntu_noob | okay cool | 18:14 |
| jjjjj | oh ok thanks for that | 18:14 |
| jjjjj | just one more thing | 18:14 |
| SilfenX | tsimpson: the gnome3 shell/desktop. I just tried the desktop version of the installer but for some reason it deosnt boot after installation finishes | 18:15 |
| ubuntu_noob | looking to find out why my drive shows 15Gb free in the same partition my Ubuntu 11 install shows. | 18:15 |
| jjjjj | i got the settings for firestarter from a web mag but the settings were lost for the firestarter policy i think it was outbount policy, i think inbound was all | 18:15 |
| ubuntu_noob | But I can not access that partition. | 18:15 |
| unless | How do I ajust this Firmware missing issue from my Wireless ? | 18:15 |
| jjjjj | what is a good policy for outbound in firestarter | 18:15 |
| tsimpson | SilfenX: you can just install the "ubuntu-desktop" package to get that | 18:15 |
| SilfenX | tsimpson: oh, wont that give unity? | 18:15 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, do you have kids? | 18:16 |
| jjjjj | um no why | 18:16 |
| Pici | jjjjj: Thats completely up to you. Most people don't create any outbound rules. | 18:16 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, then why do you want to set outbound policy | 18:16 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, its inbound that peeps set policy on | 18:17 |
| tsimpson | SilfenX: you will have the option to use "Ubuntu Classic" from the login menu, that's the non-Unity version (so you'll get both) | 18:17 |
| jjjjj | well i think the mag said something about nothing should want to connect out or outbound should be restricted. i could be wrong could be the reverse | 18:17 |
| ubuntu_noob | So in gparted I see that I have an etire 15GB free but no way to access it. All I can use on the 80Gb hdd is 54 GB. | 18:17 |
| jjjjj | i forgotten | 18:17 |
| jjjjj | what policy do you have | 18:18 |
| SilfenX | tsimpson: So "Ubuntu Classic" will have the Gnome3 desktop/shell in 12.04? | 18:18 |
| tsimpson | SilfenX: as far as I'm aware, yes | 18:18 |
| joeblow | Gnome 3 has to be installed by itself | 18:19 |
| SilfenX | tsimpson: Also, is it possible to make the login screen not ask you which shell you want each time you start the machine? | 18:19 |
| tsimpson | SilfenX: it should remember what you selected last time, and default to that | 18:19 |
| jjjjj | wheres comrade we the people gone | 18:19 |
| SilfenX | tsimpson: I'd prefer if I could only install gnome3 and not the inity files as well, but maybe thats nitpicking | 18:20 |
| tsimpson | SilfenX: looking into it, you may need the "gnome-shell" | 18:20 |
| tsimpson | *package | 18:20 |
| tsimpson | so try that instead of "ubuntu-desktop" | 18:20 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, firestarter automatically blocks inbound connections | 18:20 |
| joeblow | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell for Gnome 3 | 18:20 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, i set no policy | 18:20 |
| jjjjj | but why give the option to make it restrictive by default? | 18:21 |
| WeThePeople | jjjjj, cuz its a firewall and most peeps dont know how to set a policy | 18:21 |
| SilfenX | joeblow: on 12.04 server, will that give me a bootable gui just from that one install command? | 18:21 |
| jjjjj | oh ok i will leave it then. | 18:22 |
| jjjjj | ta for that | 18:22 |
| joeblow | SilefenX did you start out with server or the desktop install of ubuntu? | 18:22 |
| SilfenX | joeblow: I have server 12.04 already installed | 18:22 |
| joeblow | then you should be good. At the menu you will select if you want gnome or unity | 18:23 |
| SilfenX | joeblow: menu? | 18:23 |

| antti_ | hi | 18:25 |
| auronandace | MalfermitaKodo: i copy what i need manually to an external harddisk | 18:26 |
| SilfenX | joeblow: whole point was to avoid cluttering the drive with any Unity related padding - if possible. Maybe it isnt possible to avoid that? | 18:26 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 18:26 |
| joeblow | personally I would install XFCE - LXDE or gnome shell | 18:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | auronandace: sure that can be done, but sounds like quite a bit of a hassle... | 18:27 |
| antti_ | j #kahvi | 18:27 |
| crizis | MalfermitaKodo, i used to use rdiff-backup on server, and ubuntu has built-in backups right in system prefrences nowadays | 18:27 |

| cihhan | Hi all! I was wondering if there is any way to measure the resource usage using C directly from a library in Ubuntu? I can read /proc, but I would prefer if a library can provide this information. | 20:55 |

| jessefromvancouv | cihhan, I've used them to look at bottlenecks in the system but not directly through C code. I would log the epoch start and finish times of my programs and analyze the resource utilization using ksar.. Not quite what you're after I don't think | 21:08 |

| PoolShark_ | gordonjcp: It can get tiresome especially when you're debugging stuff... so why my whole 311 project is about is establishing a link between two 19.2k v.32 modems using the 6kHz audio channel in a 2-meter FM Ham Radio instead of the copper phone lines, to successfully dial into a BBS | 22:14 |

| iNTEl | dr_willis , or anyone can help : my graphics card in not definited | 22:20 |
| iNTEl | and tried additional drivers | 22:20 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: and what is your video card? | 22:20 |
| iNTEl | but it doesn't give me anything | 22:20 |
| jrib | TML: that's pretty weird. It could have happened that the package didn't build when ubuntu synced with debian, but if it's missing in ubuntu for a few releases I doubt that's the explanation. Try #ubuntu-motu maybe | 22:20 |
| iNTEl | its intel g33/g31 graphics card | 22:20 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : its intel g33/g31 graphics card | 22:21 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: most intel drivers are built in. its possible the chipset is to new, or some other problems, theres the xswat ppa that may have newer drivers, or you could test it out in 12.10 | 22:22 |
| iNTEl | my board is intel g31 | 22:22 |

| dr_willis | iNTEl: try a 12.10 live cd. | 22:24 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: or check the forums or askubuntu.com about that exact chipset. | 22:24 |

| dr_willis | chronofusion: whats your video card? | 22:27 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : its really strange ? i found my card definited alone | 22:27 |
| TML | jrib: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam-dotfile/+publishinghistory shows why - the package has been orphaned, but it still exists in debports for whatever reason. | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | 'definited alone' ? means what | 22:27 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : is install Xfce interface on ubuntu (GNOME) will make any proplems ? | 22:27 |

| chronofusion | gtx 580 1.5gig Galaxy Accelero Xtreme plus hsf edtion. no overclocking going on either. tried both nvidia proprietary drivers in " additional drivers" program | 22:27 |
| TML | jrib: ha - you ever tried to become the maintainer for a Debian package? | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: normally one installs the xubuntu-desktop package | 22:27 |
| iNTEl | k | 22:28 |
| chronofusion | also tried in vlc to uncheck " resize interface to video size" under preferences | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | chronofusion: you tried the vsync setting in ccsm/compiz? | 22:28 |
| jrib | TML: long time ago, I did try very hard though ;) | 22:28 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : which one is faster , gnome or ubuntu ? | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: ubuntu is Unity on top of gnome3 | 22:28 |
| TML | jrib: I have tried in the past - it was more work getting approval to be the maintainer than it would have taken to have written the package from source in the first place :) | 22:28 |
| chronofusion | yes..and it didn't matter..also completely uninstalled everything that said compiz in synaptic package manager..and restarted pc | 22:28 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis , k ty | 22:28 |
| chronofusion | technically it's Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Studio that i'm using | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | Uninstalling is 'windows mindset' | 22:28 |
| TML | probably points to a problem in the Debian project structure, but WTF do I know? :) | 22:29 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : how can i use wine | 22:29 |
| chronofusion | also made sure that it's running at 60hz ( terminal nvidia-settings) | 22:29 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : just open the .exe normaly ? | 22:29 |
| Or1on | I'm trying to use indicator-cpufreq to change CPU frequency but it only works as root. Is there a group that have permission for indicator-cpufreq use? Whats the best way to set it up on ubuntu 12.04 | 22:29 |
| hosoka | After using the alternate installation and all was working well and after reboot it tells met target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. Try passing init= bootarg. What to do ? | 22:29 |
| hosoka | my line starts with (initramfs) | 22:30 |
| grizcreative | what dlna server package have you had best luck with? | 22:30 |
| chronofusion | the problem doesn't happen in my win 7 pro x64 boot up ( im' dual booting that with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 studio | 22:30 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : r u heard about conquer online 2.0 | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | CCSM tool general tab - Opengl - 'sync to vblank' helped my videos | 22:30 |

| ubottu | grizcreative: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:30 |
| chronofusion | regardless of what media player i use. powerdvd 9, vlc 2.0.3. etc | 22:30 |

| iNTEl | dr_willis : what is that ? | 22:31 |
| neises | How do I get audio out of my HDMI? | 22:31 |
| chronofusion | this was a problem for my older setup also back when i tried Ubuntu 10.04 32bit and 64 bit as well as Linux Mint 12 32 bit and 64 bit | 22:31 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis , should i type in dash or terminal ? | 22:31 |
| kevin | neises: if you are using nvidia, you can only do it with the proprietary drivers. google can help with that | 22:32 |
| chronofusion | So i dont' know if it's just..opengl vs direct x or what..i'm stumped | 22:32 |
| neises | I tried with the nvidia drivers, but it just set my desktop environment in fallback mode. | 22:32 |
| grizcreative | gordonjcp: thank you | 22:33 |
| neises | How do I find out which drivers I am using? | 22:33 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: learn to use the terminal | 22:33 |
| TML | hosoka: Most likely, the wrong UUID got written to /etc/fstab during install. Get a rescue CD, boot to it, and run "fdisk -l". That should give you a list of partitions. Mount those until you find the partition that has /etc/fstab in it, then you can update that file to change the UUID=xxxx to /dev/sda1 (or whatever partition you found /etc/fstab in) | 22:33 |
| iNTEl | k | 22:33 |
| TML | neises: lsmod | 22:33 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis , am trying they told me that is useless | 22:33 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: what is? and who? and trying what? | 22:33 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : specially in the last versions | 22:33 |
| neises | It says nvidia and intel are both being used. | 22:34 |
| neises | I'm using nvidia on my TV and intel on my laptop. | 22:34 |

| keepbro | HI guys - I was wondering if someone could help me with a small problem? Im a new user to linux having used windows all my life and some bits are a bit confusing | 22:34 |
| iNTEl | there is a book called , simply ubuntu | 22:34 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : that's what drived me to ubuntu | 22:35 |
| savr | I need an app where I can input pages from a document and scanned in pages and organise them then save them as a pdf | 22:35 |
| savr | anyone got any recommendations? | 22:35 |
| chronofusion | so any Ideas ..anyone? screen tearing problem? | 22:35 |
| drmtech | does anyone know how to remove versioning from a file in rapidsvn without deleting it? | 22:35 |
| albech | do i really have to push all domains from the vpn server to the openvpn client for ubuntus new dnsmasq configuration to handle forward lookups correctly? | 22:35 |
| hosoka | <TML> that is getting way tech for me. The installation was coming from an alternate cd and finished the installation very well. Till the reboot it got me this message. | 22:35 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : result of wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\foo.exe | 22:35 |
| Adie | :/ | 22:36 |
| chronofusion | If i could just conquer that problem...then the last step is testing wine with sc2 and a couple of other games to see if the framerate is still limited to around 30.. if it's improved to almost 60..then I can leave windows behind for good | 22:36 |
| Adie | hi | 22:36 |
| WeThePeople | keepbro, whats up | 22:36 |
| neises | If I'm using nvidia drivers, why am I not able to get sound from my hdmi? | 22:36 |
| albech | with hundreds of domains accessed through the vpn thats hardly viable | 22:36 |
| Adie | I accidently sudo chmod -R adie:adie / | 22:36 |
| Adie | :( | 22:36 |
| TML | hosoka: Hm - well, that's what you need to do. Is there a particular part of the response that you didn't understand? | 22:36 |
| i7c | hi, i have bumblebee installed but actually i'm only using my intel graphix on ubuntu, never my nvidia... since my hdmi port doesnt work (always says disconnected) is there an easier way to use intel graphix and make the hdmi port work? | 22:36 |
| chronofusion | makes me wonder, Neises, if you haven't selected that option in your sound preferences | 22:36 |
| TML | Adie: LOL | 22:36 |
| chronofusion | it gives me wtwo sound options in mine distro | 22:37 |
| neises | I looked in the sound preferences, but when I selected hdmi, the sound went away. | 22:37 |
| TML | Adie: I laugh because I did it once myself - 20 years ago, on a SunOS box. | 22:37 |
| Adie | :D | 22:37 |
| keepbro | Problem is is that I had to wire my laptop directly when I installed ubuntu on my laptop and now every time I try and find my wifi hub it picks every one up in a 50 mtr radius but mine. I think Linux thinks that its a wired network and not wifi so its not looking for it as such but im not good enough to say "look this way" | 22:37 |
| Adie | I was told to try to take ownership of my home folder to try to fix my logging in problem | 22:37 |
| Adie | I did it wromg, lol | 22:38 |
| keepbro | other prob is that Im currently wired in as we speak so it still wont look for it as a wifi hub | 22:38 |
| TML | Adie: AFAIK, the only solution to that problem is "recover from most recent backup" | 22:38 |
| chronofusion | So can anyone help me with screen tearing problem? | 22:38 |
| WeThePeople | keepbro, what distro did you download | 22:38 |
| WeThePeople | 12.04 | 22:38 |
| Adie | TML: not even a big deal right now | 22:38 |
| keepbro | ubuntu 11.10 | 22:39 |
| Adie | ubuntu is like a really hard game to me. I keep trying over and over, and each time I get further | 22:39 |
| Adie | but I keep dying and have to restart the level | 22:39 |
| _DanN_ | :) | 22:39 |
| Adie | I haven't lasted 3 days yet -.- | 22:39 |
| albech | Adie, thats the spirit :D | 22:39 |
| chronofusion | I feel ya Adie. got handbrake to work as flawlessly as in my win 7 | 22:39 |
| neises | chronofusion: I looked in the sound preferences, but when I selected hdmi, the sound went away. | 22:39 |
| Adie | I think MOST of my issues relate to my gpu >:U | 22:40 |
| Or1on | wilee-nilee, that ppa does not seem to have packages for precise. should I just try to manually install the 12.10 version? | 22:40 |
| Adie | I keep trying to make my gpu work right, and I keep breaking the whole OS | 22:40 |
| TML | Adie: I have a solution to that one for you | 22:40 |
| TML | Stop installing X | 22:40 |
| chronofusion | did you restart your pc after that..then check the sound preferences again..and tried to play a video or music...then of course checked the volume in your built in monitor's speakers or whatever that hdmi cable or adapter is plugged into? | 22:40 |
| Adie | :( | 22:40 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: and that makes sence.. since foo.exe was an EXAMPLE of a windows app. | 22:40 |
| Adie | I like X | 22:40 |
| WeThePeople | .keepbro, use the hud and look for network manager | 22:40 |
| TML | Ah. Well, probably not your favorite suggestion, then :) | 22:41 |
| WeThePeople | keepbro, ^^^ | 22:41 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : ?? so ? | 22:41 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: so find some windows .exe file to run, and use wine the/path/to/the/whateveritscalled.exe | 22:41 |
| TML | Adie: I've been using *nix without X for almost 25 years - it's great | 22:41 |
| Adie | the stock open source drivers don't seem to like unity3d, and the propriatory drivers don't seem to like 3d games | 22:41 |
| albech | does anyone have a good working openvpn client implementation where they use a DNS through the VPN for internal lookups across multiple domains? | 22:41 |
| keepbro | not finding it on the network manager on the hud | 22:41 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: if you downloaded a setup.exe you would use 'wine setup.exe' get the idea? | 22:41 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : so i type in terminal wine/xx/xxx/xxx.exe ? | 22:41 |
| hosoka | <TML> did you meant that I reboot the pc with the alternate cd ? | 22:42 |
| keepbro | everyone elses but not my own | 22:42 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: if this is totally confuseing to you, then you may want to spend an hr or two reading some bash/shell tutorials. | 22:42 |
| TML | hosoka: You boot from the CD, it should give you an option called something like "Rescue" | 22:42 |
| iNTEl | oh 2 h ? | 22:42 |
| iNTEl | its ........ | 22:42 |
| TML | keepbro: you just can't see your AP? | 22:43 |
| hosoka | <TML>ok | 22:43 |
| iNTEl | all i wanna know | 22:43 |
| keepbro | AP? | 22:43 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : that typing wine and what after | 22:43 |
| TML | Wireless Access Point | 22:43 |
| keepbro | Ahhh yes - just mine is not showing - all my neighbours wifi's are visible though | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: its rather fundamental.. 'command /path/to/comthing/to/use' | 22:43 |
| Adie | is there anything I can do to make ubuntus filesearching faster? I am running from an ssd and it's still painfully slow | 22:44 |
| TML | keepbro: What kind of authentication is your AP set to use? | 22:44 |
| dr_willis | Adie: searching how? | 22:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Or1on, Strange it skips from oneric to quantal, do you have the universe repo open in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:44 |
| Adie | dr_willis: hitting the search button from nautilus | 22:44 |
| hosoka | <TML>initialy it reinstalls the system on rescuemode again | 22:44 |
| Adie | searching systemwide | 22:44 |
| dr_willis | Adie: i tend to use the locate command. | 22:44 |
| keepbro | umm... <tentatively> it asks me for a WEP key each time... | 22:44 |
| TML | WEP? WPA2? 802.1x? | 22:44 |
| TML | keepbro: "it" what? Ubuntu? Or the AP? | 22:45 |
| keepbro | the ap | 22:45 |
| keepbro | ubuntu cant see the AP | 22:45 |
| keepbro | I think | 22:45 |
| TML | keepbro: My thought is that your ubuntu might not be setup to handle the kind of auth that the AP is expecting. | 22:45 |
| wilee-nilee | Or1on, I think this is a deb that will work. http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/ubuntu-universe-i386/indicator-cpufreq_0.1.4-0ubuntu2_all.deb/download/ | 22:45 |
| keepbro | I use virgin media as do some of my neighbours and I can see their APs | 22:46 |
| Or1on | wilee-nilee, yes I have universe uncommented on source.list. OK I will give that I try. I think its the same one I have tho | 22:46 |
| TML | For example, if all your neighbors were using the far-less-secure WEP and you were using WPA, and your ubuntu didn't have whatever drivers/software you need for WPA2, it wouldn't show your AP but would show others' | 22:46 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : can't i just launch the file from its place | 22:46 |
| dr_willis | iNTEl: if its marked 'executable' you can.. but wine foo.exe will show you error messages... | 22:46 |
| hosoka | and then starts with /dev/sda1 highlighted as first | 22:46 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : executable | 22:47 |
| iNTEl | dr_willis : executable ! | 22:47 |
| keepbro | ok - so can I reset or something or bitchslap my hub into liking ubuntu? | 22:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Or1on, How did you install the one you have. | 22:47 |
| Or1on | wilee-nilee, from software center | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | yes.. the executable bit set on some windowsbinary.exe lets wine 'run' it.. which is one way i NEVER use to launch .exe files | 22:47 |
| TML | hosoka: http://opensource-sidh.blogspot.com/2011/06/recover-grub-live-ubuntu-cd.html might help you | 22:48 |
| hosoka | <TML>thanks | 22:48 |

| antimatroid | is there an easy way to get the temperature to display next to the time again? | 22:50 |
| antimatroid | i really liked that | 22:50 |

| iNTEl | wine /path | 22:51 |
| Or1on | wilee-nilee, I have been upgrading since 2009. maybe a setting didn't updated. yes I have admin | 22:51 |
| iNTEl | or wine \path ? | 22:51 |

| wad | So, when I plug in my external USB drive, it gets mounted in /media with the UUID number. That's great, but I'd rather it mounted to a different place, on a specific mount point. I put an entry in /etc/fstab for it, but when I boot and it's not there, the computer halts until I tell it to continue. I've been manually uncommenting the line in fstab, doing "mount -a", then commenting it out again. I tried adding the "nofail" option in there, didn't do anything. Id | 23:12 |
| wad | eas? | 23:12 |
| dr_willis | wad: set a label on the filesystem and it will use /media/filesystemlabel | 23:13 |
| Troy^ | wad: had a similiar problem.. but it seemed to be a problem using UUID for some reason so i used the action device /dev/sdd1 | 23:14 |
| wad | hmm. | 23:14 |
| Troy^ | wad: this is my fstab, /dev/sdd1 is the external | 23:14 |
| Troy^ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1201527/ | 23:14 |
| * wad looks | 23:14 | |
| dr_willis | use the noauto option for external media perhaps. | 23:14 |
| iNTEl | i really think that my arabic channel is better than this | 23:14 |
| iNTEl | #linuxac | 23:14 |
| Troy^ | lol good for you | 23:15 |
| iNTEl | nobody on it but if there there is someone will help as possible | 23:15 |
| wad | what does "noauto" do? | 23:15 |
| iNTEl | cu guys | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | UUID=779265E2127472CA /media/willis/SilverDisk ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 mounts on boot for me. external Ntfs | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | tells it to not mount at the initial boot. | 23:15 |
| iNTEl | and don't try what UBUNTU mean | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | but i dont need it. | 23:15 |
| wad | dr_willis, but will it automount later on in the boot process? | 23:16 |
| iNTEl | Ubuntu : Am Exist Cause Of Others | 23:16 |
| wad | I'd like it to automatically mount when it's plugged in. | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | wad: mount /media/whatever can mount it.. | 23:16 |
| * wad nods. Got it. | 23:16 | |
| dr_willis | wad: on Plugged IN is differnt then at boot time with it being there. | 23:16 |
| Troy^ | wad: then apt-get install usbmount | 23:16 |
| === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap | ||
| dr_willis | i normally dont do such things with my external usb hds. ;) | 23:17 |
| wad | Ah, so if I just leave the entry in fstab, with "noauto", then it won't mount automatically when I boot with it plugged in, but if I plug it in afterwards, it will? | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | i just set the label then make links from like /home/willis/Storage to - /media/thelabel | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | it wont mount untill you tell it to mount. | 23:18 |

| lnxslck | and that keeps log of that, so i can see how many mb i've used, per day, or per month | 23:22 |
| Troy^ | lnxslck: ntop | 23:22 |
| wad | lnxslck, the system monitor kinda does that..... | 23:22 |
| lnxslck | wad, but it doesn't keep history | 23:22 |

| TeamRocket1233c | How light would MATE be if its window manager were replaced with Openbox and its panel were replaced with Tint2? | 23:24 |
| TeamRocket1233c | I mean if that's doable with GNOME 2 than it should be doable with MATE. | 23:25 |
| lnxslck | TeamRocket1233c, why not just go with openbox and tint2? | 23:25 |
| TeamRocket1233c | lnxslck: Just curious about the outcome of an Openbox-based MATE with a Tint2 panel, that's all. | 23:26 |
| lnxslck | TeamRocket1233c, ok. i do use openbox and tint2 | 23:26 |
| lnxslck | but not mate | 23:26 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Plus I spotted a screenshot of GNOME 2 with Openbox as the WM and it looked pretty decent. | 23:27 |
| lnxslck | TeamRocket1233c, not sure why you would want that | 23:27 |
| lnxslck | TeamRocket1233c, when you can go just with openbox standalone | 23:27 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Well, you'd get a full-blown DE, | 23:28 |
| lnxslck | so why not just go with one or other? | 23:29 |
| lnxslck | even that openbox is not a de | 23:29 |
| Troy^ | XFCE ftw | 23:29 |
| === Geek_Juice is now known as Bryanstein | ||
| TeamRocket1233c | Troy^: You could actually make Xfce look a little nicer by changing the panel. | 23:31 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Troy^: Spotted someone who had an Xfce desktop with a Tint2 panel and it looked pretty sweet. | 23:31 |
| Troy^ | TeamRocket1233c: which panel hmm | 23:32 |
| Troy^ | here is mine atm TeamRocket1233c http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/2089/1014f.png | 23:32 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Troy^: Xfce4 + Tint2 panel. | 23:32 |
| lnxslck | Troy^, ntop, seems a bit hard to configure or get it running | 23:32 |
| Troy^ | lnxslck: not really there is lots of tutorials or guides just need to look them up | 23:33 |
| JonJ | Troy^: Your dock is awn? | 23:33 |
| lnxslck | Troy^, ntop runs like a daemon and then you see the results on a web browser? | 23:33 |
| Troy^ | JonJ: awn? | 23:33 |
| Troy^ | lnxslck: correct | 23:33 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Troy^: Really though, nothing beats an invisible panel as far as sleek goes. | 23:33 |
| Troy^ | yea but functionality is where it is at | 23:34 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Troy^: Invisible or transparent or translucent panel, and hey, if Tint2 works great combined with Openbox, it would work great combined with Xfce4, GNOME Shell, or MATE too. | 23:34 |
| Troy^ | JonJ: the dock is docky | 23:35 |
| JonJ | Troy^: Ah, okay. Thanks | 23:35 |
