| dr_willis | chromium-browser.desktop | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu uses it also i belive | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | it definatly started that browser when i logged into Lubuntu just now | 00:01 |
| battlehands | dr_willis: ash: cd: /home/battlehands/.config/autostart$: No such file or directory | 00:01 |
| battlehands | bash* | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | battlehands: so make the dir | 00:01 |
| nydel | can "find" look through hidden files? | 00:02 |
| phyrexianslug | define "hidden"? :P | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | hidden are not really hidden they just got . in the start of the name. | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | and apps overlook them out of common convention. | 00:02 |
| nydel | beginning with a period, phyrexianslug | 00:02 |
| battlehands | dr_willis: mkdir ~/.config/autostart ? | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | battlehands: thats one way | 00:02 |
| battlehands | dr_willis: why would I make a directory when ActionParsnip wants me to get files from somewhere | 00:02 |
| battlehands | I don't understand | 00:03 |
| nydel | dr_willis: does that mean that find does not find hiddens or that it does? | 00:03 |
| phyrexianslug | @nydel: that just excludes them from ls. any other tool will see them as normal folders. | 00:03 |
| Presonus_Probs | Thanks PhyrexianSlug, sorry im slow to type, havent used IRC for years | 00:03 |
| phyrexianslug | easiest (and worst) use of find: find /* | grep "whatyourelookingfor" | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | theres no really 'hidden' files.. if you use the proper syntax to find.. it will see names that begin with a . same as any other file | 00:03 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: please advise | 00:04 |
| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruption every cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean installed('nomodeset' fixes this but then compiz is unworkable | 00:04 |
| tking | if i press control key for 4 seconds and release i see a round circle around the mouse pointer like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-13%2023%3A59%3A45.png | 00:04 |
| nydel | phyrexianslug: i understand, thank you. yes that's my usual use of find, well not exactly, but i do pipe it with grep | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | tking: that sounds like compiz's 'find the pointer feature' | 00:05 |
| nydel | phyrexianslug: is that better than ls -aR / | grep whatever | 00:05 |
| DocD90 | ActionParsnip, hi are you there? | 00:05 |
| phyrexianslug | find is much lighter on CPU time then ls. (someone feel free to correct me, that's just off the top of my head) | 00:06 |
| tking | dr_willis i have uninstalled compiz | 00:06 |
| hydester | anybody running Windows Media Center (Windows 8 preview) in a VM on 12.04? if so, which hypervisor are you using? i'm having bad luck with vbox in this specific situation | 00:06 |
| lotuspsychje | tking:you sure its not your wallpaper lol? | 00:06 |
| dr_willis | tking: so what desktop are you using? | 00:07 |
| tking | am reset compiz and uninstalled it | 00:07 |
| tking | so am using default | 00:07 |
| nydel | phyrexianslug: cool, thanks for the help | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | using default what? | 00:08 |
| tking | i assume cos i ran some command to act like its first time to use ubuntu. The command is suppose to reset all settings done on gnome | 00:08 |
| tking | am using Unity | 00:08 |
| lotuspsychje | hydester:maybe this can help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923412 | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | if you removed compiz.. you are not using the 'default' you are using Unity2d? | 00:09 |
| tking | am using unity 3d | 00:09 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | Unity3d uses compiz.. which you said you removed.. or did i missunderstand. | 00:09 |
| tking | without compiz unity 3d exists | 00:10 |
| dr_willis | unity 3d is a plugin for compiz.. so i think thats not correct... | 00:10 |
| tking | on login options you could select, Unity, Unity 2d, Gnome Classic etc... I assume Unity on its own is 3d because it makes icons on launcher fold | 00:10 |
| dr_willis | and you said you removed compiz... so somthign is not making sence here. | 00:11 |
| tking | yes, | 00:11 |
| hydester | lotuspsychje: you using it? | 00:11 |
| lotuspsychje | hydester:no sorry mate ubuntu all the way here | 00:11 |
| dr_willis | compiz definatly has a plugin/accessability feature to make the cursor flash/animate for people who are visually impared | 00:11 |

| ubuntugeek | hi #ubuntu, I work on webkit project (http://www.webkit.org). Earlier I was using 11.10 and recently shifted to 12.04. But I am experiencing the compilation is much slower in 12.04 than 11.10. Anybody facing the same issue during compile cycle with any projects? | 00:13 |
| Coloradan | 'allo all. minor question for a major issue here.... I have an older laptop thats been sidelined until recently. just installed 12.04 on it, and it seems the builtin touch pad does not exist, | 00:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ubuntugeek: wasnt webkit unsupported by 12.04? | 00:14 |
| Coloradan | i've got two usb mice, one which works, but is my mouse for my main laptop, and another i would like to use for this laptop, but is not recognized at all. | 00:14 |
| ubuntugeek | lotuspsychje: in fact I have a situation where my gtk port only builds with 12.04 out of the box whereas 11.10 I need to handfix a lot of broken packages..:) | 00:15 |
| Coloradan | wmy main question is, what can i do to get either the touchpad, or the wireless usb mouse, to be identified or recognized? | 00:15 |
| tking | lotuspsychje, i have tried to but i find compiz installed from software center and not compizconfig settings manager | 00:15 |

| tking | but when i search compiz in dash nothing shows up | 00:16 |
| seednode | tking: You just need to install ccsm? | 00:16 |
| seednode | It's 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' | 00:16 |

I have a WD 1TB external hard disk ( the one with the power source) I had it hooked up to my Ubuntu machine a week or so ago and I was watching a video off it and my power went out. When the power came back on all the contents ( almost 900 GB ) of my film folder was empty. The space was still allocated but the folder shows 0 items. Now, I tried two different programs for the Mac | 00:25 |
| abuayyoub | recover deleted files and all it managed to do was find files that I had actually deleted. the 900 GB of data that went missing was nowhere to be found. I tried also apples disk utility, disk aide, disk daisy, disk drill nothing The files weren't deleted obviously they are just not visible. I dont own a windows machine and my linux box doesn't have internet access. Someone please help I have my entire collection of Stargate Sg-1, Dexter, Breaking Bad, | 00:25 |

| tking | its a long story, i have been using compiz and i got tired because desktop rotate is not stable, so i checked online and removed compiz following some tutorials. Then i reboot. It took me hours i even slept of waiting for things to load as usual without compiz. When i woke in the morning. I saw some activity bla bla bla. So i later found out it booted into "Gnome Shell" as they called it. The i rebooted and logged in to Unity as there were options like "Gno | 00:43 |
| tking | me", "Gnome Classic", "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 2D". But now when i press the control key i get some kind of animated flashing stuff around my pointer, which is iritating. Today someone said i am using 3d maybe. That i should re-install ccsm. I did and it froze my computer. | 00:43 |
| wifioregon | tking: I use gnome class is well :-) | 00:43 |
| Troy^ | is there a openssh setting to allow external connections? | 00:43 |

| wifioregon | Troy^: Go into your router settings and set up forwarding for port 22 | 00:44 |
| Troy^ | wifioregon: yea it's down but i can't seem to use my own external ip address to connect to it.. and i'm not using port 22 | 00:44 |

| liberty223 | Should I update to new kernel and if so what is best way to do so | 00:48 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: updating kernel isnt going to help | 00:50 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: try running the "additional drivers" application | 00:50 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: its built into Ubuntu | 00:50 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: and then install your graphics drivers | 00:50 |

| wifioregon | liberty223: that will update kernel | 00:52 |
| liberty223 | I did sudo apt-get upgrade already | 00:52 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: open terminal and run: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:52 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: then you should have the newest terminal. Check the update GUI as well | 00:52 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: recently I had to do the kernel update with the GUI | 00:52 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: also you can use the terminal to find what kernel version you currently have | 00:53 |

| wifioregon | liberty223: And I do the updates. 12.04 | 00:53 |
| hashem | wifioregon, when you use apt-get, that only gets you the newest kernel in the repositories for the release you're on (eg 12.04) | 00:54 |
| wifioregon | liberty223: run the GUI update then | 00:54 |
| wifioregon | hashem: ooh | 00:54 |
| WeThePeople | aelmajid, ask your question | 00:54 |
| wifioregon | hashem: thanks! Thats why I had to use the GUI update utility, huh? | 00:54 |
| hashem | no, I'm pretty sur ethe GUI update is the same as apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 00:54 |

| tking | pls if i install a fresh ubuntu, what is the first or default login desktop called, Gnome shell, unity 2d, gnome classic? or what? i want to go back to how i first installed Ubuntu | 00:55 |
| hashem | With the ubuntu repositories for a given release, new major versions of software isn't made available, only minor bug fixes. For major updates to software, you have to install it yourself or wait until the newer release (like 12.10) | 00:55 |
| jrib | hashem: probably need dist-upgrade to upgrade kernel (since dependency of a package changes) | 00:55 |
| tyuio | WeThePeople: help me | 00:56 |
| hashem | jrib, ah yes, you may be right | 00:56 |
| XiaolinDraconis | okay | 00:56 |
| hashem | tking, it's called "unity" | 00:56 |
| XiaolinDraconis | starting to get the opinion that ubuntu is horrible | 00:56 |
| jrib | tking: rename your ~/.dmrc and you'll go back to default | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | wifioregon: resize the ext4 in live cd, you can then install windows to the freed space | 00:56 |
| jrib | XiaolinDraconis: we're here for support please | 00:56 |
| bazhang | XiaolinDraconis, actual support question? | 00:56 |
| wifioregon | ActionParsnip: but wont the Windows boot manager not show ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| tking | jrib how do i rename it? i never heard of at | 00:57 |
| hashem | liberty223, if you want to try out a newer version, one option is to install it manually: http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/installing-a-kernel-in-ubuntu/ I've never done this though. Perhaps another way would be to get an updated kernel from a newer ubuntu repository. idk how to do that though. | 00:57 |
| jrib | tking: mv ~/.dmrc ~/.dmrc.old | 00:57 |

| tking | jrib is this comand mv ~/.dmrc ~/.dmrc.old to move or rename? if it is to move as i know, am i not to delete the .old? | 01:00 |
| hashem | nannes, you could try installing the .deb file http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/installing-a-kernel-in-ubuntu/ | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | wifioregon: you will need to reinstate the boot loader using the grub again | 01:01 |

| nannes | ActionParsnip: Can I ask you a thing? | 01:03 |
| wifioregon | ActionParsnip: using grub? Like a subergrub2 disc? or can I do it from an Ubuntu disc live? | 01:03 |
| bkc_ | bazhang: I know it ain't stable... | 01:03 |
| tyuio | WeThePeople_: it means i have to install hotspot using wine and get username and password for it | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | excise: use http://pastie.org | 01:03 |
| wifioregon | ActionParsnip: also do you happen to have a guide? You think I should back up files before doing this? Its kindof dangerous right? | 01:03 |

| Nisstyre | ring2: crossfeed is a type of signal processing that removes the separation inherent in stereo recordings | 01:25 |
| Nisstyre | ring2: it's for headphone listening | 01:25 |
| Chat4175 | Hey | 01:25 |

| Sokel | Maksim: First off, you don't install a tar file. | 01:25 |
| Nisstyre | ring2: no it isn't | 01:26 |

| Nisstyre | ring2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfeed | 01:26 |
| ring2 | Nisstyre, alright, never heard of it. sorry | 01:26 |
| hashem | Maksim, open a terminal. The 'tar' command works with .tar* files. you can type 'man tar' for more information, but for .tar.gz files, the command 'tar -xvzf myfile.tar.gz' should decompress it. | 01:28 |
| Nisstyre | ring2: I know that there is an ALSA plugin for crossfeed, but I'd rather do it at the application layer | 01:28 |

| bazhang | XiaolinDraconis, chrome has NOTHING To do with ubuntu. take it elsewhere | 01:30 |
| Sokel | XiaolinDraconis: Sounds personal. | 01:30 |
| hashem | Maksim, then you have to install it, which is a little bit more involved. There should be a README file or INSTALL file inside the decompressed directory which has instructions | 01:31 |
| Sokel | XiaolinDraconis: Either get it to work on firefox or work on Chrome. | 01:31 |
| Maksim | Sokel: Hold on a second. The link you gave me is a firmware. I have already installed that one. My problem is that Ubuntu doesn't know about my printer model. I thought installing the driver would help, but it did not | 01:31 |
| Maksim | hashem: It turns out I already did this one | 01:31 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ill open firefox but i bet it stutters too | 01:31 |
| Sokel | Maksim: Ever decide to reboot your computer? | 01:31 |
| bazhang | Maksim, what does linuxprinting.org database recommend as a driver for that | 01:32 |
| Sokel | XiaolinDraconis: Stop whining. Sounds to me you either don't have efficient enough ram, or you do not have a sufficient video card. | 01:32 |
| ring1 | Nisstyre, as i read quodlibet is capable of crossfeeding with a plugin. but that doesn't help for rhythmbox | 01:32 |

| ubuguest | hello. I have installed a window manager and I logged into it and I can't do anything at all. Is there a way to close it and go back to the logon screen? | 01:36 |
| jrib | ubuguest: what wm? | 01:36 |
| hashem | Maksim, perhaps ask dell support. They specifically mention supporting ubuntu in this pdf http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CCkQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fdownloads%2Fglobal%2Fproducts%2Fprint%2FInkjet_Printers_Datasheet_US_V5_LR_Brochure.pdf&ei=HIlSUNb0F4-e8QSj6oGYBw&usg=AFQjCNFI-zJZLmsdNgZwHPs6KazUQJJy3A&sig2=UDjMFYVU8vaicKBXOTn2tw | 01:37 |
| TJ- | ferris: Add them both to the 'users' group, and give that group ownership and permissions to read/write/execute the shared directory | 01:37 |
| ubuguest | jrib, dwm | 01:37 |
| Maksim | hashem: I will do that if you suggest it. You think they will actually respond? :) | 01:37 |
| joshmc | ubuguest: Try alt + shift + q | 01:37 |
| ferris | TJ-, thanks.... i will try that | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuguest: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there then run: killall -u $USER | 01:37 |
| joshmc | leftalt is the initial modkey for dwm, right? | 01:38 |
| hashem | Maksim, they'll definitely respond, I would guess they won't be of much help. I might be wrong though | 01:38 |
| jrib | ubuguest: if you're sure it's some sort of config issue on your part, you can restart X by going to tty (ctrl-alt-f1) and issuing « sudo service lightdm restart ». ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back to X. However, you probably just need to figure out how to use dwm (look up its docs) | 01:38 |
| ubuguest | thanks, guys :) | 01:39 |
| joshmc | ubuguest: as a dwm user it's great but not easy. I'd say if you are using an apt-managed version ditch it and grab the tarball, as using dwm to the extent you want generally means editing config.h and recompiling. | 01:40 |
| ubuguest | thanks | 01:41 |
| joshmc | ubuguest: bu-bu-I wasn't done! | 01:41 |

| js1234 | if I click on the applications icon in dash nothing comes up either | 02:36 |

| TJ- | Maksim: what release of ubuntu are you using? | 02:56 |
| Maksim | 12.04 LTS I think | 02:56 |
| TJ- | Maksim: check with "lsb_release -a" | 02:56 |
| phyrexianslug | @barakisbrown: you want to fix the win7 / ubuntu bootloader? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 02:57 |
| Maksim | Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS | 02:57 |
| Maksim | precise | 02:57 |
| postmodern | silly question, scp'ing files to a ubuntu 12 server, but they are u=rw and not readable by other users. how do i work around this? | 02:57 |
| barakisbrown | thanks i will try that since I do have a live usb | 02:57 |
| TJ- | Maksim: That suggests you've have incomplete packages | 02:57 |
| Maksim | :O | 02:58 |
| Maksim | how do we remedy this | 02:58 |
| jochl | postmodern: you want them to be readable by all? | 02:58 |
| TJ- | Maksim: This mat fix it: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-sso-client" | 02:58 |
| phyrexianslug | @postmodern: chown the files after transfer? | 02:58 |
| postmodern | jochl, specifically u=rw,g=rw,o=r | 02:58 |
| Maksim | TJ- done, now what | 02:59 |
| Maksim | redo what you last said about the 2 terminals? | 02:59 |
| postmodern | jochl, the upload directory is already u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx | 02:59 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Yes... I suspect though, you'll need to also do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-sso-client-gtk" | 02:59 |
| jochl | postmodern: man scp mentions -p option to preserve mode | 03:00 |
| sh4rm4 | is there a way to get debug symbols for a package ? | 03:00 |
| TJ- | Maksim: That package is a 'recommends' of ubuntu-sso-client, and it actually contains the code that is missing. | 03:00 |
| Maksim | OK it's doing the gtk one | 03:00 |
| Maksim | it finished it | 03:00 |
| jochl | so you could chown, scp, then re-chown (if desired/necessary) | 03:00 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Have you alternated any settings within 'apt' to stop it installing recommended packages? | 03:00 |
| WeThePeople | de, http://complete-concrete-concise.com/category/ubuntu-2 | 03:00 |
| TJ- | Maksim: OK, give it a go with software-center now | 03:00 |
| sh4rm4 | is there a way to get debug symbols for a package ? | 03:00 |
| postmodern | jochl, is there a way to override the permissions? | 03:00 |
| Maksim | alternated settings? no :O not that i know | 03:01 |
| postmodern | jochl, this is for an upload script, where another user in the same group consumes the uploaded files | 03:01 |
| trism | sh4rm4: some source packages have a -dbg binary package (libc6-dbg, libgtk-3-0-dbg), others may be available on ddebs.ubuntu.com | 03:01 |
| Maksim | http://pastebin.com/hRQSgaaL | 03:01 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: Yes. Ubuntu has archives for them. Called the ddeb (debug debian) packages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Debug_Symbol_Packages | 03:02 |
| trism | sh4rm4: if neither are available you can usually rebuild the package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" as described here: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace | 03:02 |
| jochl | postmodern: if it's in an upload script, you could chown the files before uploading, or copy, chown, and upload if you don't want to tamper with the original permissions | 03:03 |
| Maksim | TJ- http://pastebin.com/d3nvqnWs and http://pastebin.com/hRQSgaaL | 03:03 |
| TJ- | Maksim: That didn't appear to help did it!? | 03:03 |
| sh4rm4 | thanks | 03:03 |
| Maksim | TJ- no :o | 03:03 |
| Maksim | but my brain makes me feel like we made progress | 03:04 |
| Maksim | cause I typed stuff into a terminal. | 03:04 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Well, you have the files, but for some reason Python isn't finding the ubuntu_sso | 03:04 |
| Maksim | maybe i have bad python files installed | 03:05 |
| Maksim | i did try to install python stuff yesterday | 03:05 |
| TJ- | Maksim: aha! | 03:06 |
| andreb | hi | 03:06 |
| andreb | anyone here uses zimbra ? | 03:06 |
| TJ- | Maksim: What did you try to do? install a different python version? | 03:06 |
| Maksim | TJ- I don't remember what I was trying to install, but it required some python stuff, and I dont remember where google took me, or to what commands. I installed python. That is all I remember. :( | 03:07 |
| sh4rm4 | damn, what is wrong here ? i have to push the mouse button down for 2 seconds to get it recognized as a click by ubuntu | 03:07 |
| Maksim | I am able to type "python" and then do 12+4 | 03:07 |
| Maksim | and it spits out 16 | 03:07 |
| TJ- | Maksim: what does "python --version" report? | 03:08 |
| Maksim | Python 2.7.3 | 03:08 |
| Maksim | That's right, I had the option to choose Python 2 or 3 and I chose 2 | 03:08 |
| TJ- | Maksim: OK, that's good. and bad... because it ought to be finding the SSO python package! | 03:08 |
| TJ- | Maksim: This *feels* like the wrong python interpreter version is being used by default and that version doesn't have the SSO files in its dist-packages/ directory | 03:09 |
| Maksim | TJ- hm, so maybe I should somehow uninstall all pythons? | 03:09 |
| TJ- | Maksim: What does this tell you? " dpkg-query -l python{2,3}* | grep '^ii' " | 03:10 |
| TJ- | Maksim: No, you shouldn't! Ubuntu relies on Python these days for core services | 03:10 |
| Maksim | it just puts a > character on the next line | 03:10 |
| Maksim | oh, ytyped it wrong | 03:11 |
| TJ- | Maksim: You missed out a single-quote, or included the double-quotes which I provide just to separate the commands from my commentary. Press Ctrl+C to break out and try again | 03:11 |
| Maksim | http://pastebin.com/jKTfKyRS | 03:11 |
| TJ- | Maksim: That looks correct too | 03:12 |
| sh4rm4 | TJ-, trism : the debug sym install worked according to the wiki, how to get the sources ? | 03:12 |
| Maksim | Why does my life have to be so difficult | 03:13 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: "apt-get source <package>" | 03:13 |
| sh4rm4 | dpkg-source: not found. | 03:14 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: If you've going to use 'gdb' with the sources, you'll need to either start gdb in the source directory containing the source files, or use its "directory" command to add the directory paths of the source | 03:14 |
| trism | sh4rm4: install dpkg-dev | 03:14 |
| sh4rm4 | TJ: ok thanks, but how can i get the dpkg-source command ? | 03:14 |
| sh4rm4 | thanks | 03:15 |
| Maksim | TJ- outta ideas? | 03:15 |
| TJ- | Maksim: I'm trying to figure out what you managed to do to python. Maybe we can avoid needing to know by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure python2.7" | 03:16 |
| Maksim | done. | 03:16 |
| Maksim | it did something for 3 seconds and I think it finished | 03:17 |
| TJ- | Maksim: You may also need to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure python2.7-minimal" | 03:17 |
| Maksim | didn't output anything | 03:17 |
| TJ- | Maksim: not outputting something is a sign of success for most *nix command line tools | 03:17 |
| Maksim | http://pastebin.com/7tmVYYLJ | 03:17 |
| TJ- | Maksim: py "thong" ?!?! :D | 03:18 |
| Maksim | I have no minimal :O! | 03:18 |
| TJ- | You don't have a thong either! | 03:18 |
| Maksim | loool | 03:18 |
| Maksim | ok it done, no output | 03:19 |
| TJ- | Maksim: OK, try the "U1_DEBUG=True python /usr/lib/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-login" again | 03:19 |
| TJ- | Maksim: same error? | 03:19 |
| Maksim | no module named ubuntu_sso.main | 03:19 |
| Maksim | yeah same thing | 03:20 |
| TJ- | Maksim: grrrr! We need a Python packaging expert | 03:20 |
| bluemeda | hello all | 03:20 |
| bluemeda | :D | 03:20 |
| TJ- | Maksim: I know what it's not doing but not how to correct it | 03:20 |
| Maksim | TJ- yea | 03:20 |
| Maksim | TJ- should we pick this up another time | 03:20 |
| TJ- | Maksim: If you knew what you did to it with Python yesterday... | 03:20 |
| Maksim | TJ- let me look | 03:21 |
| Maksim | my downloads folder has a Python-2.7.3.tgz ... I installed that | 03:21 |
| Maksim | that is all I did | 03:21 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Arghhh!!!!!!!!! | 03:22 |
| Maksim | is that bad | 03:22 |
| === rebecca is now known as Guest57904 | ||
| TJ- | Maksim: So you installed the upstream package! I bet it's in /usr/local/bin/ and is being picked up instead of the Ubuntu installation!!! | 03:22 |
| Maksim | :O!!! | 03:22 |
| Maksim | what is upstream | 03:22 |
| TJ- | Maksim: You deserve to wear that thong!! LOL ... OK ... check if I'm correct: "ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*" | 03:23 |
| Maksim | haha | 03:23 |
| TJ- | Maksim: You installed Python from a source package provided by the Python project, rather than letting the already-installed Ubuntu package do its thing | 03:23 |
| Maksim | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 11 20:51 /usr/local/bin/python -> python2 | 03:23 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Anything that is installed that isn't part of the distro usually will install to /usr/local/* | 03:24 |
| Maksim | :o | 03:24 |
| hillshum | python *should* have been installed by default... | 03:24 |
| Maksim | I guess it was.. I wanted to learn python.. lol | 03:24 |
| TJ- | Maksim: So, we found your problem. Now you need to uninstall that. I'm guessing you extracted that python tar.gz file to directory, is that correct? | 03:24 |
| Maksim | I didn't know | 03:24 |
| Maksim | umm. I downloaded it to Downloads folder and then I installed it somehow in the terminal | 03:25 |
| TJ- | Maksim: If so, change to the directory where you extracted the file (or else re-extract the file now) ... and then in it's directory try "sudo make uninstall" | 03:25 |
| Maksim | lol sorry.. | 03:25 |
| Maksim | there is a aPython-2.7.3 folder in Downloads | 03:25 |
| pyg_ | how are the nvidia drivers for the latest ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| Maksim | so I should change directory to Downloads, and type that in the terminal? | 03:26 |
| TJ- | Maksim: change into that Python-2.7.3/ directory first | 03:26 |
| Maksim | I should do cd Desktop and then sudo make unisntall ? | 03:26 |
| Maksim | oh | 03:26 |
| Maksim | cd Desktop/Python-2.7.3/ | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | pyg_: works fine here | 03:26 |
| WeThePeople | is maya commands same as lucid | 03:26 |
| Maksim | I mean downloads | 03:26 |
| TJ- | Maksim: the one in Downloads/ yes | 03:26 |
| pyg_ | i'm running debian testing and can't hibernate repeatedly | 03:26 |
| TJ- | Maksim: then try doing "sudo make uninstall" ... that ought to remove all the files it installed into your system in /usr/local/* | 03:27 |
| pyg_ | ActionParsnip: thanks, 12.04? | 03:27 |
| Maksim | TJ- it says maks@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Python-2.7.3$ sudo make uninstall | 03:27 |
| Maksim | make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | pyg_: yes, I use the edgers ppa (the one that's less fresh, more stable) | 03:27 |
| jmstick1 | how can i enable a wireless usb from shell i know the easy way is to install gui but the usb jump drive is only 8gbs | 03:27 |
| TJ- | Maksim: Try this: " ./configure && su -c 'make uninstall' " | 03:28 |
| pyg_ | ActionParsnip: what kernel version? | 03:28 |
| jeremyst | hi guys | 03:28 |
| Maksim | maks@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Python-2.7.3$ ./configure && su -c 'make uninstall' | 03:28 |

| jeremyst | im having problem login in to unity, im using unity 2d now. | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jmstick1: my ubuntu install is4.5Gb, you have enough space. If you install wicd you can use an ncurses interface to confuigure wireless easily | 03:28 |
| jmstick1 | using ubuntu 8.0.4 | 03:28 |
| Maksim | I need sudo? | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info linux-image-generic | pyg_ | 03:29 |

| jmstick1 | ActionParsnip whats the smallest gui that i can install wicd xubuntu-desktop ? | 03:30 |
| pyg_ | ActionParsnip, ubottu, 3.2 thanks, currently with debian I don't get cpufreqd support, but oh well, onward and upward | 03:30 |
| h22turbo | Maksim: use pastebin | 03:30 |
| jmstick1 | thanks btw | 03:30 |
| jeremyst | im having problem login in to unity, im using unity 2d now. | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jmstick1: wicd has an ncurses UI so will be very small | 03:30 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, do you know if Maya commands are the same as Lucid.. ie sudo apt-get install | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | pyg_: debian is supported in #debian | 03:30 |
| Maksim | http://pastebin.com/SDpyMH9F | 03:30 |

| h22turbo | jeremyst: we hear u dude... try installing the correct video card drivers | 03:33 |
| Maksim | TJ- you get my link ? | 03:34 |
| jeremyst | ok. i just installed the drivers for nvidia, but in system settings> details, the graphics is unknown. i cant boot to unity so im using unity2d. | 03:34 |
| Sokel | jeremyst: You do realize you have to restart after an install, right | 03:34 |
| jeremyst | i also remove the fglrx for ati because its what im using awhile but remove it because its overheating. | 03:35 |
| jeremyst | restarted it many times. | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jeremyst: which nvidia gpu are you using? | 03:35 |
| h22turbo | jeremyst: yes, it will say unknown if u used nvidia's drivers.... | 03:35 |

| Maksim | TJ- You there? | 03:39 |
| Sokel | It's too old. | 03:39 |
| jeremyst | ?? i just bought it last year. | 03:39 |
| Sokel | Too old. | 03:39 |
| jeremyst | ok | 03:39 |
| Sokel | 7025 is WAY too old. | 03:39 |
| jeremyst | is there a fix for it? | 03:39 |
| Sokel | Yeah, get an actual video card. | 03:40 |
| Sokel | Or use XFCE. | 03:40 |
| jeremyst | whoah | 03:40 |
| Sokel | Take your pic | 03:40 |
| Sokel | k | 03:40 |
| jeremyst | i have ati but i have to put a customize fan in it so it wont get too much heat | 03:40 |

| devslash | I'm using ubuntu server. how can i make my usb drive mount automatically at boot up | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | devslash: add it in /etc/fstab | 04:06 |
| Froward | all my settings are backed up in my HOME, right? | 04:08 |
| devslash | do i have to use the UUID in stab ? | 04:08 |
| devslash | fstab | 04:08 |
| Froward | so if I flash my system from 32bit to 64bit I can just move over my HOME and reinstlal apps and stuff should work? | 04:08 |
| bustacap | What program do I use to read a .xml without it looking like "\00\00\E8\FF\FF\00" etc lol | 04:09 |
| zykotick9 | Froward: in terminal "ls -d ~/.*" will list all the hidden settings directories/files in you home dir. check to see what is there. | 04:09 |
| kassius | how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it? | 04:10 |
| Froward | zykotick9: tanks | 04:10 |
| Froward | *thanks | 04:10 |
| kassius | how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it? | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | Froward: but to answer your question. yes - backing up your home dir and moving from 32 to 64bit should work real well (if it's the same version of ubuntu, else, perhaps not quite as well...) | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | devslash: it helps if you use the UUID | 04:15 |
| devslash | yea i did thanks i got it figured out | 04:15 |
| * zykotick9 thinks labels are a lot easier then UUIDs | 04:15 | |
| devslash | hmm | 04:16 |
| devslash | i can ssh into my server within my lan but i can't ping it. i have shore wall install | 04:16 |
| devslash | installed | 04:16 |
| kassius | how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it? | 04:17 |
| devslash | I'm not sure what to do | 04:17 |
| zykotick9 | kassius: if you aren't using the ubuntu packaged version, it's not really supported here. why aren't you just using "sudo apt-get install irssi" so simple... good luck with whatever you're doing. | 04:18 |
| Sokel | Honestly | 04:19 |
| Sokel | why install something from source | 04:19 |
| Sokel | when it's obviously packaged | 04:19 |
| Sokel | That's stupid. | 04:19 |
| kassius | I have a shell but its libraries are quite old then im trying to embed the libraries in my irssi because of this | 04:20 |
| Sokel | kassius: Problem number 1, you built from source. apt-get install irssi. | 04:20 |
| Sokel | kassius: Whatever you're doing is NOT supported. | 04:20 |

| sh4rm4 | TJ-, trism: is there a way to add custom cflags when rebuilding a source package with apt-get -b source ? | 04:27 |
| atech | hello any one help me | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | atech: check to make sure you didn't mute the speaker | 04:27 |
| atech | no it is not muted | 04:28 |
| atech | i just freshly install ubuntu | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | atech: installed as wubi or what? | 04:28 |
| atech | wubi means | 04:29 |
| Sokel | http://askubuntu.com/questions/132577/no-sound-in-ubuntu-12-04 | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | atech: windows installer method | 04:29 |
| Sokel | Problem solved atech | 04:29 |
| atech | only ubuntu totaly formating system | 04:29 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: I'm not sure; I never use it to build. | 04:29 |
| atech | no my dear sokel | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Sokel: the echo command will fail and the command will also not be ran in /etc/rc.local as it is below the exit 0 line | 04:29 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: I'd doubt it unless it provides a way to pass environment variables to make | 04:30 |
| Sokel | ActionParsnip: Of course, because ubuntu is shady like that :) I remove exit 0. | 04:30 |
| sh4rm4 | TJ-, when trying to build it manually the build errs, unlike with apt-get | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Sokel: to use echo to root owned files you need to pipe to: sudo tee -a | 04:30 |
| Sokel | ActionParsnip: I refuse to use sudo. su - via pam.d and wheel group | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Sokel: it's not ubuntu specific, all distros use the exit 0 line..... | 04:31 |
| Sokel | ActionParsnip: Wrong. | 04:31 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: How do you build it manually? "debian/rules build" followed by "fakeroot debian/rules binary" ? | 04:31 |
| Sokel | ActionParsnip: RHEL and Fedora don't. So, you're wrong. | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Sokel: echo "test to add" | sudo tee -a /path/to/fil | 04:31 |
| bustacap | What is a program to view .xml files? | 04:31 |
| sh4rm4 | TJ-, no, ./configure ; make | 04:31 |
| atech | hello any one help me | 04:32 |
| atech | i not able to hear any sound | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bustacap: gedit | 04:32 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: that'd be why. | 04:32 |
| Sokel | atech: How about you use google? It's a normal problem. google: ubuntu 12.04 laptop no sound. You get PLENTY of results. | 04:32 |
| aeon-ltd | atech: does your source work for sure? | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | atech: if you run: alsamixer are all levels cranked and unmuted | 04:32 |
| Sokel | And I gave you one. | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !google | Sokel | 04:33 |
| ubottu | Sokel: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 04:33 |
| bustacap | ActionParsnip, shows as all funny characters like "\00\00\00\00\00\" anything else specifically for xml? | 04:33 |
| sh4rm4 | TJ-, "debian/rules build" followed by "fakeroot debian/rules binary" refers to what ? | 04:33 |
| atech | i have searched | 04:33 |
| Sokel | bustacap: vim | 04:33 |
| TJ- | sh4rm4: Those are the commands for building debian/ubuntu packages. In every package is a debian/rules Makefile | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bustacap: could try bluefish etc, you may be able to change the encoding set of the file and see normal characters... | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | atech: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 04:35 |
| devslash | devslash: apache was configured and working fine. i rebooted my server and now apache won't start. its giving me an error could not open error log file /etc/apache2/logs/error_log. | 04:35 |
| schoppenhauer | hello. i want to temporarily (programatically) forbid terminal switching (ctrl-alt-fn and stuff), but except for hacks like changing the terminal keymap, I cannot find any solution for that. But as Xorg does this, it should be possible to do from another program, too. | 04:38 |
| devslash | any help ? | 04:38 |
| Sokel | schoppenhauer: Why does it matter? | 04:38 |
| bustacap | ActionParsnip, how do I change the encoding :/ | 04:38 |
| schoppenhauer | Sokel: ? | 04:38 |
| TJ- | devslash: That's probably because you've set the path to the log-file incorrectly. It should be "/var/log/apache2/error_log" | 04:38 |
| schoppenhauer | Sokel: what kind of question is this? | 04:39 |
| devslash | i didn't set it to that folder | 04:39 |

| Cristiano_Said | I want to have apache and squid work well. | 04:52 |
| Skapare | ActionParsnip: I don't know that it's a bug ... I'm just wanting to know why right now | 04:53 |
| Cristiano_Said | the problem that when my site tries to run this script on my server here | 04:53 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest84355 | ||

| Sokel | atech, honestly, make a file called 50-sound.conf in /etc/modprobe.d. http://pastebin.com/8Ys9DwKt | 04:54 |

| ActionParsnip | Skapare: could be hooked in to speakers using VLC via web ui to pump out music via web ui] | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: use: apt-cache search string | 04:56 |
| TJ- | Cristiano_Said: I'm not sure what you're trying to do with Squid. Do you want it to cache HTTP locally for local clients to save on Internet bandwidth, or do you want it acting as a reverse-proxy front-end for a web-server | 04:56 |
| drupin | string is the repo | 04:56 |
| Skapare | ActionParsnip: I suppose ... but this is getting really worse ... more and more programs depended on by libs ... shouldn't be that way ... my server instances are getting larger and larger | 04:57 |
| Cristiano_Said | Sokel? | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: no, string is the thing you are searching for, or part of it | 04:57 |
| drupin | ok | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: eg: apt-cache search fire | 04:57 |
| TJ- | Skapare: If you don't need the 32-bit compatibility libs you can remove it | 04:57 |
| drupin | ok | 04:57 |
| Skapare | TJ: I need them because of Java (to run a Java app) | 04:57 |

| Cristiano_Said | sorry | 05:00 |
| Cristiano_Said | I have a server and a hotspot, eth0 = wan eth1 = lan, eth1 are connected in wireless routers. If you try to access my wireless network, my firewall redirects you to that site here; login1.altecnologic.com.br. In this site you put your data. then click connect. connect this button executes a script on my server here that frees you to access the internet | 05:00 |
| Cristiano_Said | after released their access. and open another site that you can disconnect. you click a button and disconnects, this button executes another script in my server. | 05:02 |
| Cristiano_Said | that way everything is working, the problem I want to put the squid to work, but I have to perform the redirect port 80 to port 3128. | 05:03 |

| TJ- | Cristiano_Said: I'm having problems understanding precisely due to language, but I think what you're wanting to do is write an exception so that the site containing the "disconnect" button isn't redirected to squid? | 05:13 |
| Cristiano_Said | yes | 05:15 |
| Cristiano_Said | I saw your suggestion up there, I'll test | 05:15 |
| Cristiano_Said | TJ-I saw your suggestion up there, I'll test | 05:16 |
| TJ- | Cristiano_Said: That was the default redirect rule we use for squid, which you already have (except yours only redirects one host whereas my example redirects a sub-net) | 05:16 |
| robertzaccour | hey yall | 05:17 |
| TJ- | Cristiano_Said: I think what you need is something like this, inserted in the chain *before* the squid rule so the squid rule doesn't process packets going to the 'disconnect' button server. "iptables -t nat -I ALTECNETCARD -d 10.172.13.111 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT" - that may be wrong, but I hope it gives you the idea | 05:18 |

| psichas | oldest firefox 11 on lucid | 05:37 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, update it to 15v | 05:37 |
| psichas | sudo apt-get update | 05:37 |
| psichas | sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:38 |
| ferric__ | can i safely remove upstart and reinstall it? | 05:40 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: will it be stable then ?? and can it be due to plugins....??? i had few plugins installed before but then i installed some more plugins...and this problem started after that only....the plugins were....print2pdf, scribd downloader, pdf search engine toolbar and scrpbook plus...also i have turned off record all recent activities and for apps like fox, gedit, files and whole file system in the system settings....so can it due it or plugins ?? | 05:41 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, yes it can be... update to the new version and then if crashes continues - disable the plugins | 05:43 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: ok... | 05:43 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: and what about the system settings part..... | 05:43 |
| LorSamPau_w | ferric__, yes you can | 05:44 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, i don;t think so | 05:44 |
| ferric__ | LorSamPau_w: just hit apt-get upgrade, i'm getting start: command not found when i try to start init scripts on a recently upgraded box | 05:44 |
| LorSamPau_w | ferric__, it's apt-get update, not upgrade | 05:45 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: 1 more thing about firefox......when i print any webpage then sometimes it prints it fine but sometimes it kinds of prints only the 1st page and leaves or ignores the rest......how can it be corrected.....??? also i want to make the print setting like print background colour and print background images option permanent otherwise on every print i have to manually tick mark that 2 options.....an dis there any specific firefox channel.... | 05:47 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, i can't help you with that, i allways copy data from the page to word/libreoffice and then print it | 05:48 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: ok...any official firefox channel...... | 05:49 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, #firefox | 05:49 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: thnx | 05:50 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, no problem | 05:50 |
| subdesign | how is ubuntu with logitech products? plays well? | 05:50 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: :) :) :) | 05:50 |
| LorSamPau_w | subdesign, it depends ) | 05:51 |
| subdesign | headsets? | 05:51 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: but what about the error number i gave U ?? | 05:51 |
| LorSamPau_w | subdesign, headsets - fine, webcams - not so fine | 05:51 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: the firefox error number from the terminal ?? | 05:52 |
| subdesign | ok thanks | 05:52 |
| ferric__ | LorSamPau_w: i did update, then install upstart and it said upstart was uptodate | 05:52 |
| ferric__ | LorSamPau_w: but there are no binaries | 05:52 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, it's not the error number i think, anyways it's individual, can't find any info on that, i think it's just memory thing | 05:52 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: ok | 05:53 |
| myhero | LorSamPau_w: i m moving to firefox channel...hope some solutions there....:) | 05:53 |
| LorSamPau_w | myhero, good luck | 05:53 |
| quaknor | hi | 05:54 |
| LorSamPau_w | ferric__, then it's uptodate... i've never done anything with upstart, i just know that it can be removed and installed in one session with no problem | 05:55 |
| ferric__ | LorSamPau_w: yeah, just reinstalled it but /lib/init still has no upstart binary | 05:56 |
| LorSamPau_w | ferric__, well i guess you can compile upstart yourself, i suggest you askubuntu | 05:58 |
| ferric__ | LorSamPau_w: cool, thank you! | 06:01 |
| joejack | so my wifi works for a few days like a champ, and then refused to connect for a couple days and so on | 06:02 |
| joejack | right now it is in its refusing to connect phase | 06:02 |
| joejack | anything I should check> | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | joejack: does the interface have an IP? | 06:03 |
| joejack | ActionParsnip dunno how do i check? | 06:03 |
| celthunder | joejack: do you have an ip traceroute ping ? what've you tested. | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | joejack: ifconfig | 06:04 |
| joejack | ifconfig or wlan0 is showing bunch of stuff like inet addr, is that it/ | 06:06 |
| vkas | hi | 06:06 |
| joejack | damn when I did the ifconfig it actually started working again | 06:06 |
| LorSamPau_w | )))))))) | 06:07 |
| joejack | maybe that is a way for me to get it working when it goes on strike, just do an ifconfig | 06:07 |
| LorSamPau_w | joejack, i think that's a coincidence | 06:07 |
| joejack | ok probably | 06:07 |
| eshlox | http://wklej.org/id/828806/?hl=text ;-) | 06:08 |
| joejack | so any ideas as to why my wifi would go on strike every few days? | 06:08 |
| LorSamPau_w | joejack, other devices connect to that wifi is fine? | 06:09 |

| d8bhatta | Hello Guys | 06:09 |
| vkas | does anybody have an idea about solving this weird problem - I am working in gnome-classic session and had a panel in the right side of the screen which i deleted. now i cannot reach in the area that was covered by the panel. the area is kind of cut-off from the desktop. | 06:09 |
| joejack | ok well i will be back next time my wifi goes on strike thanks | 06:09 |
| d8bhatta | I am getting Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0 error | 06:09 |
| d8bhatta | I need help, it is sucking me | 06:10 |
| d8bhatta | I have included ssl certificate and ssl key into my vhost | 06:10 |

| d8bhatta | but no improvment | 06:11 |
| Barkeep | hi | 06:13 |
| vkas | even when i take a screenshot of the whole screen - that region is not included in the screenshot | 06:13 |
| Barkeep | I just installed 12.04 and am having quite a lag | 06:14 |
| vkas | using a low resolution helps | 06:14 |
| Barkeep | I suspect it is to do with nvidia graphics card and compiz | 06:14 |
| Barkeep | Should I revert back to gnome from unity or revert to an old driver? | 06:15 |
| Barkeep | Also, what about 304.43, the recommended update is still 295.40 | 06:17 |
| LorSamPau_w | Barkeep, in ubuntu it's usually 2 versions of nvidia driver to install: stable and the newest version, i guess you chose the wrong one ) | 06:18 |
| Barkeep | I tried both, it lagged in both | 06:18 |
| Barkeep | even tabs that I click on firefox open after 3-4 secs | 06:18 |
| Barkeep | there are 4 selections, version 173, version 173-updates, version-current[rec], version-current-updates | 06:21 |
| Malaika | hello? | 06:25 |
| === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic | ||
| Malaika | I was wondering if anyone can help me I'm having an issue with instalation for some reason | 06:26 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, what's the issue | 06:27 |
| Malaika | I have it parttioned and trying to install but everytime it goes to finish it keeps saying no root file system is defined | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Barkeep: Unity is a shell for Gnome, you already have gnome | 06:27 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, how is it partitioned? | 06:29 |
| Barkeep | Yeah, what I meant was, instead of using unity, should I use gnome itself | 06:29 |
| Malaika | i used wubi.exe to partition and install it | 06:30 |
| Barkeep | It seems it a common problem with compiz+nvidia+12.04 | 06:30 |
| Barkeep | *+is | 06:30 |
| Barkeep | I am poking around with compiz settings manager, I installed it yesterday, after it crashed thrice, I deleted | 06:31 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, i've never tried wubi... it's better to do the partitioning yourself to prevent from this kind of errors | 06:31 |
| === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic | ||
| Malaika | but when I try to partition myself it won't even show even the main drive | 06:32 |
| Barkeep | now I can't install it back, software center says it has untrusted packages | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Barkeep: you are using gnome itself, unity isn't a replacement for gnome | 06:32 |
| === PaRtH is now known as Guest44152 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Barkeep: if you want the old school shell then install gnome-panel | 06:32 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, well that's the problem | 06:33 |
| Barkeep | I did so, now I can choose whether to start with gnome (old school) or ubuntu(unity) from log in screen | 06:33 |
| Barkeep | but I want to make unity work | 06:34 |
| Malaika | its seems the only true choice I have from the disk I have is to install over windows but I don't even know if I'll run into the same problem | 06:34 |
| LorSamPau_w | Barkeep, what's your gf card? | 06:34 |
| bill_ | I like work on ked | 06:34 |
| Barkeep | nvidia 8400 GS | 06:34 |
| bill_ | I like work on kde | 06:34 |
| phy1729 | I have a box that is connect to the LAN and has a wifi card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413/AR2414) I'd like to make an AP and put people directly on the network. | 06:35 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, just run install setup and go to the partition-step and manually make sure that it sees all of the drives, than go back and choose install ubuntu along side with win | 06:36 |
| bustacap | Are there any good applications for viewing security cameras over ip for ubuntu? | 06:36 |
| LorSamPau_w | Barkeep, is it necessary for you to use compiz? | 06:37 |
| Malaika | the demo sees the drive but when I tell it to install and use a partition it doesn't even bring up the drive itself to partition | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | bustacap: try zoneminder | 06:37 |
| Malaika | gparted see's them but the install does not | 06:37 |
| bustacap | ActionParsnip, you have the answers for everything! You're the best lol | 06:38 |
| Barkeep | well, I "can" use the one that is used in 2D | 06:38 |
| LorSamPau_w | Barkeep, have you tired nomodeset? | 06:38 |
| Barkeep | nomodeset? | 06:38 |
| Barkeep | for compiz? | 06:38 |
| LorSamPau_w | for get rid of it and make sure that sceen looks fine) | 06:39 |

| bill_315 | I am having class | 06:42 |
| Malaika | does it mater to the fact my system is raided? | 06:42 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, lokely | 06:43 |
| LorSamPau_w | likely | 06:43 |
| blackshirt | bill_315, what you mean with having class lol | 06:43 |
| devxdev | How can I allow my users to create directories in their home dir? | 06:43 |
| devxdev | all of them get perm. denied | 06:44 |
| Barkeep | There is this suggestion, purging all nvidia and installing Nouveau | 06:44 |
| Malaika | I keep coming across people saying to use sudo apt-get remove dmraid but I don't know where I need to imput this at from the ubuntu main screen | 06:44 |
| Barkeep | would that be stable | 06:44 |
| Barkeep | (not that nvidia itself is stable) | 06:44 |
| blackshirt | devxdev: usually user can create directories on their home dir | 06:44 |
| devxdev | sorry forgot to say jailed ssh connections | 06:45 |
| LorSamPau_w | Malaika, you must type it in the terminal | 06:45 |
| Malaika | how do I bring up the terminal? | 06:45 |
| devxdev | Malaika, ctrl+alt+t | 06:45 |
| blackshirt | devxdev: on some chrooted/jailed ssh environment, check your chroot dir, where the server place the "root" | 06:46 |
| Malaika | thank you I may be back if things arent any beter | 06:46 |
| blackshirt | devxdev: maybe the admin doesn't give that permission | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Malaika: if you use terminal a lot I suggest you install guake :) | 06:47 |
| devxdev | I can change permissions on the dirs to what ever they need to be, but im not sure what exactly that is :p | 06:47 |
| outhorand | #nairobignu | 06:47 |
| devxdev | blackshirt, 755? | 06:48 |
| === jr is now known as delta1188 | ||
| bill_315 | I first come into irc | 06:49 |
| Kartagis | files always should be 644, directories 755 | 06:49 |
| devxdev | Kartagis, ty :) | 06:50 |
| Kartagis | np | 06:50 |
| Kartagis | of course files should be 644 if you want others to snoop around | 06:51 |
| Kartagis | and the same for directories | 06:51 |
| blackshirt | not always, because we can change it .. but it was usually based on distro policy | 06:51 |
| devxdev | ok lmao I've just been fiddling with this for far to long and getting annoyed. I was trying to have a dir '/chroot' that had the whole shabang from ..archive.ubuntu.com.. | 06:56 |
| devxdev | then have '/chroot/sites/X' where X would be a users home dir but everytime I attempted an ssh login i got "/bin/bash: no such file or directory" then I mounted all the main files to X and it works | 06:56 |
| devxdev | is there a way to do it so that its looking for /chroot/bin/bash instead of /chroot/sites/X/bin/bash ? | 06:56 |

| Kartagis | guys, do you have a solution to shockwave flash keeping crashing on chromium? | 07:13 |
| LorSamPau_w | !gnash | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 07:13 |
| xcervo | Kartagis, I also have that problem | 07:13 |
| Calinou | gnash works 5% of the time | 07:14 |
| Calinou | doesn't even work for speedtest :| | 07:14 |
| Kartagis | LorSamPau_w: I have adobe flash I think | 07:14 |
| Kartagis | should I remove sw? | 07:14 |
| LorSamPau_w | Kartagis, i don't know the solution, one of them is to disable hardware acceletarion, other - to compile flash by yourself, third - install other version of chrome\flash - and thats pretty much it | 07:16 |
| xcervo | Calinou, I tried gnash but still crashed after a few seconds | 07:17 |

| hypershock | hey guys what can I do to grub or wherever to make it so when my comp boots that I can see the grub screen any of the console screens, currently I can't see anything until login screen. I have nvidia 304 driver installed. | 07:29 |
| hypershock | screen any == screen *or* any | 07:29 |
| LorSamPau_w | /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:29 |
| LorSamPau_w | and to edit that you must edit scripts that compiles it - /etc/grub.d/ | 07:30 |
| LorSamPau_w | there are you options to show grub, to set timeout and other stuff... change it - then "sudo update-grub" | 07:30 |
| hypershock | LorSamPau_w: will that solve the not being able to see anything? by invisible I mean that the kernel is default outputting a modeline that the monitor is refusing to acknowledge. | 07:31 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, if you boot with pushing shift(or pressing esc) - grub shows? - try that | 07:33 |
| LorSamPau_w | if not - my solution will not help | 07:33 |
| mrAlmond | hi everyone | 07:33 |
| mrAlmond | I've problems with ubuntu 12.04 server and a software raid 0 | 07:33 |
| hypershock | LorSamPau_w: yeah that won't work, because of the "unsupported resolution", of which goes away at the login screen as the resolution then enters the supported range of the monitor. | 07:34 |
| mrAlmond | the md device is fine but when I boot grub says "error : no such disk" and then the rescue console is spawned | 07:34 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, you can manually change grub resolution using my first advice | 07:35 |
| hypershock | LorSamPau_w: can you tell me exactly what to edit or look for? those scripts in grub.d are huge! :) | 07:36 |
| xcervo | hello guys, how can i play wmv file on ubuntu? | 07:38 |
| phy1729 | I have hostapd configured and I can see the AP but I can't connect to it with the password | 07:39 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, i think its 00_header ... search there for "gfxmod" | 07:39 |

| The_Josh | Only if this Unity had movable launcher | 07:48 |

| The_Josh | Is gnome3 any good? | 07:49 |
| mrAlmond | why the "boot" command in "grub rescue" is not recognized??? | 07:50 |
| mrAlmond | with ubuntu 12.04 server? | 07:50 |
| LorSamPau_w | The_Josh, if you don't like unity - good ) | 07:50 |
| POVaddct | luingar: md5 is considered as "broken". thus you can alter data and get the same md5sum. | 07:51 |
| The_Josh | LorSamPau_w, As I previously mentioned, I didn't dislike it that much, but It reduces the screen space due to the huge bar on left and it comes in way | 07:51 |
| The_Josh | If I was able to move it to bottom, but it seems in ubuntu 12.04 you can't do it | 07:51 |
| LorSamPau_w | The_Josh, well it's kinda the same | 07:51 |
| POVaddct | luingar: but i think its still difficult enough to do that, so md5 kind of works | 07:51 |

| LorSamPau_w | EoN, i prefer gnome with some docks | 07:54 |
| The_Josh | so it'll have to wawit | 07:54 |
| The_Josh | wait* | 07:54 |
| The_Josh | And ubuntu has nothing wrong you can have gnome3 installed in ubuntu | 07:55 |
| The_Josh | so why install mint? | 07:55 |
| EoN | a lot of people say unity is terrible? | 07:55 |
| IncogNegro | yup I just hit continue and it is just hanging at the "where are you" screen with the spinny cursor | 07:56 |
| Tony_Shi | ... | 07:56 |
| spoljo | EoN: a lot of people say that windows is better too. | 07:56 |
| EoN | The_Josh: yeah that's what i odnt understand. why do people switch to mint instead of just using gnome3 with ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| LorSamPau_w | The_Josh, you are arguing with yourself | 07:56 |
| spoljo | use what you like. | 07:56 |
| EoN | spoljo: do you prefer unity to gnome3? | 07:56 |
| luingar | isn't unity a 3d engine? | 07:56 |
| spoljo | EoN: awesomewm. I use ubuntu minimal installation and build it myself | 07:56 |
| EoN | i would be willing to give unity a chance - except almost unanimously everyone tells me it sucks. | 07:57 |
| EoN | but if its workable i'd give it a go | 07:57 |
| baizon | i tried unity | 07:57 |
| baizon | and love it :) | 07:57 |
| EoN | what's the keyshort cut to get to a shell? | 07:57 |

| EoN | is there a 'notepad' type application built into ubuntu/unity? i want to test typing | 07:59 |
| Barkeep | purging all of the nvidia drivers than installing 304.43 did the trick | 07:59 |
| tsimpson | LorSamPau_w: distrowatch is by no means authoritative, it's a page-hit count (and mint has an advert on top of distrowatch pages, so that's no surprise) | 07:59 |
| spoljo | EoN: gedit | 07:59 |
| hypershock | LorSamPau_w: http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1795.html solves the grub issues quite easily. and thanks for all of your help else I wouldn't have found that link. :) | 07:59 |
| Barkeep | it says it is as different version than current driver | 07:59 |
| baizon | LorSamPau_w: lol ... " On my own opinion, Ubuntu unity is the one reason why Ubuntu is not the most popular distro anymore. " | 07:59 |
| baizon | its distrowatch | 08:00 |
| baizon | its not counting the installation numbers | 08:00 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, no problem | 08:00 |
| baizon | it counts the clicks | 08:00 |
| Barkeep | but the things I did broke grub, it is not ubuntu purple, now it says debian | 08:00 |
| tsimpson | anyway, let's try and keep to support discussion in here, though feel free to continue the discussion of mint/unity in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:00 |

| LorSamPau_w | baizon, ok | 08:02 |
| Barkeep | oh, well | 08:02 |
| hypershock | now to another video problem. --- I have the nvidia driver v304 installed. and still i have one mode that "display settings" & "nvidia x server settings" doesn't display which is "1280x1024" to be exact. I would like to add that mode to the options list. How? | 08:02 |
| baizon | Calinou: agree | 08:02 |
| baizon | tested mint | 08:02 |
| baizon | wasnt happy with it | 08:02 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, its in /etc/x11/xorg | 08:03 |
| LorSamPau_w | hypershock, /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 08:03 |
| hypershock | LorSamPau_w: isn't that also compiled by scripts? | 08:08 |

| blackshirt | wildbat, that was administrator right to change them | 08:59 |
| tking | hello please i did "mv ~/.dmrc ~/.dmrc.old" as someone asked me here. It affected my system on reboot, can someone tell me how to change and delete the .dmrc | 09:00 |
| blackshirt | tking, just copy back the dmrc.old to dmrc | 09:00 |

| Nordom | anyone have sound problems with ubuntu 12.04? | 09:02 |
| tking | blackshirt, command please? "copy" wouldn't that still keep the backup | 09:02 |
| blackshirt | not truelly true | 09:02 |
| tking | blackshirt, what is the command for that | 09:03 |
| blackshirt | tking, you want your old dmrc? exactly i don't knwo what you need ... | 09:03 |
| Nordom | I started using ubuntu a few days ago, and I noticed that my sound sounds choppy or stutters. When I boot into win7 I have no problems, anyone have any ideas? I am using an asus mb and seems asus doesnt play nice with linux | 09:03 |
| Ironsight | Asus loves linux usually :/ | 09:04 |
| tking | blackshirt, yes i dont know terminal am new ubuntu, when you say copy i cant copy what i do not use. | 09:04 |
| blackshirt | Just $cp ~/.dmrc.old ~/.dmrc | 09:04 |
| blackshirt | Tking | 09:04 |
| tking | that is why i asked to please give me command to copy | 09:04 |
| Nordom | really? had problems on both pc's that I installed ubuntu on and both seemed to be related because they stemmed from asus mb... but I did fix the problems eventaully | 09:05 |
| blackshirt | tking, i have show you the command | 09:05 |
| tking | blackshirt, thanks | 09:05 |
| Nordom | Anyways, does anyone else have choppy or stuttering sound in 12.04 and if so how would I go about fixing it? Google answers havent given any precise answers | 09:06 |
| blackshirt | nordom, what the problems with your sound? | 09:06 |

| tking | blackshirt, i know, i said how about i want to delete the "dmrc.old" because i don't want to use it and dont want to have it hanging somewhere | 09:08 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, which asus btw? | 09:08 |
| Ironsight | If you google the motherboard model or chipset model with ubuntu somewhere in there, perhaps there is a fix out there on some forum Nordom | 09:09 |
| blackshirt | tking, if you want remove it completely, you can use $rm .dmrc.old on your home dir | 09:09 |

| Blazemore | :D | 09:15 |
| xcyb0rg | I have seen commands I have no idea who people figured out the correct answer for the right problem | 09:15 |

| Nordom | there is a ASM1083/1085 under a ASMedia technology | 09:16 |
| xcyb0rg | the problem was when I tried to install aircrack | 09:16 |
| gyre007 | tsimpson, 12.04 ruby 1.9.3 version is of patch0 -> ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-linux] ....the latest 1.9.3 version is p194.... | 09:16 |
| xcyb0rg | to be able to use airmon0-ng wlan0 | 09:16 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, ok good to know... do you have extra peripherals you could remove? any extra pci cards? | 09:16 |
| Blazemore | xcyb0rg: http://blog.roryholland.co.uk/?p=15 | 09:16 |
| xcyb0rg | once I got rid of aircrack everything seemed to update | 09:16 |
| Blazemore | "apt-get -f install" solves a surprising number of issues, especially if you've been trying to install .deb files manually | 09:17 |
| blackshirt | xcyb0rg, twenty hours ?? You were great people guys.. I don't think can do it | 09:17 |
| xcyb0rg | I was up from morning until night the problem happened around 7-9 pm and then I didn't go to bed until 10 the next morning | 09:17 |
| tsimpson | gyre007: and? | 09:18 |
| Nordom | I could remove my gpu, but other than that I am not using any other pci slots | 09:18 |
| gyre007 | tsimpson, and what ?:) I'd like to have the latest updated version...simples :) | 09:18 |

| Artemis3 | Nordom, i happen to have the same chip, and very rarely get the same synthom, but a simple pulseaudio restart cures it. But, have read really bad things about in in the linux kernel mailing list :( | 09:21 |
| gyre007 | tsimpson, :) thats exactly what I wanted to avoid by having the Distro doing this for me... | 09:21 |

| Nordom | Artemis3 is that guide I am doing going to fix it or am I doing something unneeded? ( I am a ubuntu nub who tends to do stuff until A) it works or B) I find some other guide that may work | 09:23 |
| Artemis3 | gyre007, i think you could read about "rolling distros" | 09:23 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, can't tell if it will help you or not.... | 09:24 |
| Blazemore | Linux Mint Debian Edition is not too dissimilar to Ubuntu | 09:24 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, but i do know there is a problem with that asus pci chip | 09:24 |
| Nordom | can u give me any advice about that command I posted 2 replies up | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | gyre007: sounds like you want something like Arch Linux; it's usually shipping the most recent and broken versions of stuff | 09:24 |
| Calinou | and LMDE sucks. | 09:25 |
| Nordom | last time I was in bios I was pretty sure there wasnt any legacy options ... but after I finish my guide I will look in bios | 09:25 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, try to turn off as many things as you can, just for testing, you could go back later to turn them back on one by one | 09:25 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, and try to find the pci latency option | 09:25 |

| bekks | Nordom: no. | 09:26 |
| bekks | Type "uname -r" i a terminal and see what the output will be. | 09:26 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom ; is used when you are typing more than 1 command, ie: ls ; ls -l its equivalent to && | 09:26 |
| bekks | Artemis3: Wrong. | 09:27 |
| Nordom | it works but says unable to located linux-image-uname -r | 09:27 |
| bekks | Nordom: Typ uname -r | 09:27 |
| bekks | And in the command above, you forgot the ` ` | 09:27 |
| Nordom | wait wait wait I should type all these commands all at once into terminal!? I have been only doing one at a time | 09:28 |
| bekks | Then start with: uname -r | 09:28 |
| Artemis3 | Nordom, you should copy and paste the whole thing :) | 09:28 |

| gyre007 | so bekks it doesnt look like it does | 09:47 |
| zetheroo | bekks: you mean, too little information? | 09:47 |
| bekks | gyre007: Did you uninstall/purge every package that was installed? Installing ruby installs more than one package. | 09:47 |
| righton | alright thanks bekks | 09:47 |
| bekks | zetheroo: Yes. | 09:48 |
| zetheroo | bekks: so then how does one know whether a process is running in Linux? | 09:48 |
| blackshirt | use ps/top | 09:48 |
| zetheroo | bekks: I was told that this command 'ps' would show the required info? | 09:48 |
| bekks | zetheroo: It is running when ps returns at least one column. | 09:48 |
| bekks | s/column/row/ | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | Well, I am installing gnome3, After completing download, it is asking me gdm or lightdm | 09:48 |
| gyre007 | bekks, that might be it...I thought it would uninstall deps too | 09:48 |
| The_Josh | which one should I choose? | 09:48 |
| bekks | gyre007: It doesnt. | 09:48 |
| lng | Hi! For some reason, I there's no netperf package on our server (Ubuntu 11.10), but it's present on my local machine, how can I add it? | 09:49 |
| gyre007 | ah darn... | 09:49 |
| blackshirt | !netperf | 09:49 |
| crizis | The_Josh, lightdm is ubuntus default login manager, gdm is gnome's own one | 09:49 |
| gyre007 | is there any way how to clean this up now ? :) | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | crizis, I see. | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | crizis, Can we change it later? | 09:49 |
| something1112 | just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and now DVD playback is low quality (tried playing a Futurama DVD) - but libdvdcss is installed - help!? | 09:49 |
| crizis | The_Josh, you can later on change this with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' if you choose gdm and don't like it | 09:49 |
| crizis | yes | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | :D | 09:49 |
| The_Josh | Thanks | 09:49 |
| gyre007 | bekks, dpkg -l | grep ruby i guess :) | 09:50 |
| crizis | i'm sticking to lightdm since it looks nicer ;) | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | blackshirt: 'top' shows : 10001 root 20 0 75992 24m 408 S 27.2 0.6 3:51.74 rsync | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | 9971 root 20 0 48880 19m 876 S 1.9 0.5 0:13.82 rsync | 09:50 |
| The_Josh | crizis, It does? | 09:50 |
| The_Josh | crizis, Is it only related to login manager? | 09:50 |
| crizis | yes, only | 09:50 |
| The_Josh | Ah | 09:50 |
| The_Josh | Then any would do | 09:50 |
| bekks | gyre007: Wrong. Use: apt-get autoremove | 09:50 |
| crizis | when using unity at least, lightdm shows your own desktop background in login window too | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | blackshirt: does this mean rsync is running? | 09:50 |
| crizis | which is nice | 09:51 |
| The_Josh | mhmm | 09:51 |
| gyre007 | bekks, brilliant! | 09:51 |
| gyre007 | cheers | 09:51 |
| The_Josh | But then after entering password, the screen turns black | 09:51 |
| blackshirt | zetheroo, i think yes | 09:51 |
| The_Josh | Thats bad | 09:51 |
| bekks | zetheroo: You have two processes of "rsync" running. No one can tell you what they are actually doing atm. | 09:51 |
| The_Josh | instead it should keep the background and just bring the launcher | 09:51 |
| The_Josh | (Just my personal idea) | 09:51 |
| zetheroo | blackshirt: ok | 09:51 |
| gyre007 | bekks, libruby1.9.1 doesn't get autoremoved but i guess its being used by something else | 09:51 |
| bekks | gyre007: Thats why it isnt autoremoved. | 09:52 |
| zetheroo | bekks: I dunno why there would be two ... there should be one ... oh well .. :P | 09:52 |
| blackshirt | zetheroo, okey, and then what is the problems? | 09:52 |
| bekks | zetheroo: ps -ef | grep rsync | wc -l | 09:52 |
| bekks | zetheroo: There are two. | 09:52 |
| The_Josh | What is command to check gnome's version? | 09:52 |
| nixu | Hi, so umm I was kinda wondering... Does 10.04.4 have rlt 8188ce/8192ce drivers? ok thanks | 09:52 |
| something1112 | tried playing a Futurama DVD after upgrading from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 but quality is bad - help? | 09:53 |
| something1112 | libdvdcss is installed... | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | bekks: that command outputs "4" ... what is that about? | 09:53 |
| nixu | something1112 why would you even upgrade? | 09:53 |
| zetheroo | blackshirt: just was trying to determine whether or not rsync was actually running ;) | 09:54 |
| bekks | zetheroo: Then take a look at: ps -ef | grep rsync | 09:54 |
| something1112 | nixu: curiosity, a sense of adventure, madness... take your pick | 09:54 |
| zetheroo | bekks: the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204437/ | 09:55 |
| nixu | !rlt 8188ce | 09:55 |
| something1112 | the quality was fine in ubuntu 10.04, so don't know why the upgrade broke it | 09:55 |
| nixu | !realtek 8188ce | 09:55 |
| bekks | zetheroo: That output is pretty clear :) Three processes were launched for your rsync... command, and one is the "grep" you issued :) | 09:56 |
| bekks | zetheroo: And yes, thats normal. | 09:56 |
| something1112 | oh - I am using GeForce 8600M GT, and have package "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('current' driver)" installed from Ubuntu Software Centre | 09:57 |

| something1112 | has anyone else had issues with dvd playback quality in ubuntu 12 using nvidia? | 09:59 |
| bekks | something1112: Me didnt. | 09:59 |
| gyre007 | i added a PPA repo to the list of repos...it was added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ just fine but when I run apt-get update im not seeing it in the output | 09:59 |
| nixu | ... sweet apple pie | 10:00 |
| bekks | something1112: And it is 12.04, not just 12, because there will be a 12.10 too. | 10:00 |
| something1112 | bekks: hmm weird | 10:00 |
| blackshirt | are you sure format it in .list? | 10:00 |
| The_Josh | Well, I have C: D: E: partitions with data on D and E currently I am running ubuntu with wubi, but is there anyway I can format part of D: or E: drive without loosing my data and install ubuntu on it | 10:00 |
| something1112 | bekks: which packages did you install for dvd playback? | 10:00 |
| The_Josh | (of course ext4 file system format) | 10:01 |
| fidel | gyre007: what do you mean in detail with: you dont see it in output? | 10:01 |
| bekks | The_Josh: No. | 10:01 |
| nixu | thanks bekks :( | 10:01 |
| The_Josh | bekks, Thats the reason I am using wubi | 10:01 |
| The_Josh | but sadly, Ubuntu is terribly slow on wubi :[ | 10:01 |
| fidel | GregoryFenton: are you able to find the supposed package now using apt-cache search or similar? | 10:01 |
| blackshirt | the_josh, if you format it, you will lost your data, you should backup them | 10:02 |
| gyre007 | fidel, well when I add PPA repo, I think I should see its URL in the output ? | 10:02 |
| nixu | So I'll have to migrate to linux mint :( | 10:02 |
| blackshirt | Before format | 10:02 |
| blackshirt | That was recommended way | 10:02 |
| gyre007 | or is it only http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main what I shouold see ? | 10:02 |
| The_Josh | blackshirt, Can't back up over 100 Gigs of data :[ | 10:02 |
| fidel | in the output of what in particular? | 10:02 |
| === bill is now known as Guest61123 | ||
| The_Josh | blackshirt, The partition is of 400 Gigs | 10:02 |
| The_Josh | So If I was able to format only 100 Gigs from it for ubuntu it would be awesome | 10:02 |
| The_Josh | :P | 10:02 |
| GregoryFenton | hi fidel, mistype? | 10:02 |
| fidel | GregoryFenton: yep sorry ;) | 10:03 |
| bekks | nixu: Why dont you use 12.04 instead of 10.04? | 10:03 |
| blackshirt | the_josh, you can do some resize on your partition, and make partiton on empty space | 10:03 |
| bekks | nixu: Use a 12.04 livecd to check wether your hardware is supported. | 10:03 |
| gyre007 | fidel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204454/ | 10:03 |
| gyre007 | see the URL there and the output ofapt-get update | 10:03 |
| The_Josh | So slow :[ | 10:03 |
| The_Josh | Anybody else suffering ubuntu terribly slow on wubi ? | 10:04 |
| jalexandru | how can I check the eth transfer speed? Thanks | 10:04 |
| nixu | bekks: gnome2 fanboy here | 10:04 |
| bekks | jalexandru: ethtool eth0 e.g. | 10:04 |
| gyre007 | maybe its not being included i guess | 10:04 |
| nixu | bekks: unity is worse than metro... | 10:05 |
| blackshirt | the_josh, you can do some resize on your partition, and make partition on empty space | 10:05 |
| something1112 | if anyone's interested, i found http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html - am now trying this, since maybe my nvidia drivers need to be updated... *crosses fingers* | 10:06 |
| nixu | is there any ubuntu april 2010 kernel port to 3.2.6? | 10:07 |
| bekks | nixu: ? | 10:07 |
| jalexandru | thanks bekks for your time, but I was looking for something to show in real time transfer rate made by users the system is slow and has no load so or wa so I'm thinking that nfs is slow ... any ideea what tool will show me the transfer rate for nfs paks? | 10:07 |
| blackshirt | the_josh, maybe better you install ubuntu on dedicated partitions | 10:07 |
| somsip | bekks: does 10.04 have a PPA for 3.2.6 I think :) | 10:08 |
| bekks | jalexandru: iftop | 10:08 |
| Nordom | so | 10:08 |
| Nordom | I tried my guide didnt work | 10:08 |
| nixu | Is there any backport of 10.04 to linux 3.2.6 ? | 10:08 |
| nixu | ^ bekks | 10:08 |
| lionrouge | Hi | 10:08 |
| jalexandru | that's the one thanks bekks: how could I forget about it??? was trying iotop :)) cheers | 10:08 |
| Nordom | I have a ALC892 audio ?driver? anyways my audio is still coppy any one have suggestions | 10:08 |
| bekks | nixu: No, there is no backport of 10.04 - maybe there is a PPA for a 3.2.6 kernel for 10.04 | 10:09 |
| The_Josh | Well, I installed Gnome 3 | 10:09 |
| nixu | 3.x.x works too I guess | 10:09 |
| The_Josh | But, I see old gnome :\ | 10:09 |
| lionrouge | Ubuntu 12.04 freezes at boot. Nomodeset, text don't help | 10:09 |
| The_Josh | I don't see all the flashy stuff :\ | 10:09 |
| bekks | nixu: Then try the mainline kernel ppa | 10:09 |
| The_Josh | Yes I have chosen gnome at login screen | 10:09 |
| somsip | nixu: Lots of links suggest this PPA for 11.10 but none for 10.04 https://launchpad.net/~francisbrwn9/+archive/kernels | 10:11 |
| nixu | bekks: none for 10.04... and I can't compile linux without internet | 10:11 |
| genoobie | okay | 10:11 |
| genoobie | I am stuck | 10:11 |
| nixu | somsip, I saw that, thanks | 10:11 |
| Blazemore | genoobie: Stuck doing what? | 10:11 |
| genoobie | I am running l-ubuntu but for some reason all I get is (initramfs) | 10:11 |
| genoobie | my computer won't boot...:( | 10:11 |
| Blazemore | I like this channel, people ask for help and don't get shouted at like in ##linux | 10:11 |
| genoobie | Blazemore, thanks for being patient | 10:11 |
| genoobie | I'm a newb so I don't know how to fix this... | 10:12 |
| Blazemore | genoobie: What happens if you choose a different option from the boot menu, perhaps an older kernel | 10:12 |
| Blazemore | genoobie: And did you only just install? | 10:12 |
| genoobie | well there's a recover mode | 10:12 |
| Nordom | pavucontrol says GF110 high definition audio controller. Is this an audio controller provided by ubuntu or is it related to my hardware and installed itself? | 10:12 |
| angs | is there any keyboard program on ubuntu that I can type by mouse clicks? | 10:12 |
| genoobie | Blazemore, there are no older kernel options unfortunately | 10:12 |
| nixu | genoobie: have you formatted a swap partition? | 10:12 |
| lionrouge | Is it possible to boot with ubuntu livecd, chroot and fix some stuff? | 10:12 |
| Blazemore | angs: yes, search for "ease of access centre" and enable the on-screen keyboard | 10:12 |
| genoobie | lionrouge, I haven't tried this | 10:12 |
| blackshirt | angs, you mean onscreen keyboard? | 10:12 |
| genoobie | nixu, not to my knowledge | 10:13 |
| nixu | lionrouge: "fix some stuff" I don't know if they have that package. | 10:13 |
| genoobie | Blazemor, when I "exit" from (initramfs) it says Kernel panic - not syncing | 10:13 |
| angs | blazemore, blackshirt: Thank you | 10:13 |
| genoobie | attempted to kill init | 10:13 |
| genoobie | etc etc. | 10:13 |
| nixu | lionrouge: but yeah you can mount anything with the perms you wish, from livecd. | 10:14 |
| genoobie | and the caps lock key flashes... | 10:14 |
| Blazemore | genoobie: Is it a fresh install? Has it ever worked? | 10:14 |
| genoobie | Blazemore, yes it has | 10:14 |
| genoobie | for about 1 year | 10:14 |
| Blazemore | Oh, wow. OK | 10:14 |
| genoobie | well maybe 6 months | 10:14 |
| blackshirt | genoibie, you should check your kernel, disk partition order, update-initramfs | 10:14 |
| Blazemore | I'm sorry then, I don't have a clue. The only thing I can think is that there's some kind of hardware change that's occured. Try seeing if you can boot into recovery mode | 10:15 |
| crimsonmane | genoobie: laptop? flashing caps lock key indicates probably a battery problem. try removing the battery then booting using just the power cable. | 10:15 |
| genoobie | blackshirt, can I do all this from the (initramfs) | 10:15 |
| genoobie | Blazemore, cannot boot into "recovery mode" | 10:15 |
| blackshirt | genoobie, i don't think so | 10:15 |
| nixu | genoobie: live cd, maybe? | 10:15 |
| genoobie | oh...urgh | 10:15 |
| nixu | genoobie: or network boot? | 10:16 |
| genoobie | of course that's my next step and try and recover important data | 10:16 |
| genoobie | (not losing much of significance | 10:16 |
| blackshirt | genoobie, check your cable etc .... Have you change your disk? | 10:16 |
| genoobie | oh, wait a minute there are older linux versions | 10:16 |
| genoobie | should I just try booting to one previous? | 10:17 |
| genoobie | meh, seems to be the same result... | 10:17 |
| genoobie | well that eliminates that problem... | 10:17 |
| genoobie | crap, well I have to go, it just keeps booting to "BusyBox" | 10:18 |
| zweigousefen | Hello, something strange happens with my AMD drivers on ubuntu 12.04. When I have both xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati, the game works fine (http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347617057.png), but when I remove the xserver-xorg-video-ati package, I get this : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347617070.png. Other GL video games run fine (a little bit slower, but everything is pr | 10:18 |
| zweigousefen | operly displayed). Is that normal ? Isn't xserver-xorg-video-ati supposed to be just a wrappert that loads the radeon driver ? | 10:18 |
| genoobie | I don't think I can fix this from there... | 10:18 |
| blackshirt | for some change, maybe causing troubles | 10:18 |

| GregoryFenton | Hi all. Anyone know of a free (as in beer) alternative to landscape canonical for my servers? | 10:42 |
| Blazemore|Work | GregoryFenton: Puppet | 10:42 |
| Blazemore|Work | +nagios | 10:42 |
| Fernest | The_Josh: but a warning for the Nvidia drivers, although they help much: it will be a bit tricky to use Nvidia drivers + adobe flash (you will end up with blue-faces on youtube OR a very instable flash player which crashes every tenths time) | 10:43 |
| dav_ | i tried -f install but nothing | 10:43 |
| Blazemore|Work | "but nothing" - what are you expecting to happen on your system? and what is actually happened? | 10:44 |
| GregoryFenton | Blazemore|Work, thanks, looking into it now :) | 10:44 |
| Blazemore|Work | In short, what is wrong? | 10:44 |
| Blazemore|Work | Is there an ubuntu offtopic chat? | 10:45 |
| blackshirt | i think yes | 10:45 |
| dav_ | I can't install updates | 10:45 |
| Fernest | could somebody recommend a goot terminal to me? Or are there good extensions of gnome-terminal? I've seen terminals which showed something like "the last 12 commands" in a panel, which could be clicked or started with the F1-F12 keys. | 10:45 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: How do you know you can't install updates, if you aren't getting an error message? | 10:45 |
| Blazemore|Work | Fernest: I really like Terminator | 10:46 |
| Eagleman | Is there a monitoring program to monitor cpu/memory/temperature on a windows/linux machine with a centrilized interface and a nice looking dashboard to watch all servers? | 10:46 |
| Blazemore|Work | Fernest: Konsole is good too, but it's a KDE application | 10:46 |
| Blazemore|Work | Eagleman: Yes, nagios | 10:46 |
| Blazemore|Work | You are actually the third person to ask that in about half an hour | 10:46 |
| lionrouge | Tell me please if 33MB is enough for /boot for 12.04? | 10:46 |
| The_Josh | Oh man where is additional drivers :[ | 10:46 |
| The_Josh | Can't we run it with Alt+F2 | 10:46 |
| aum__ | i failed to install super-boot-manager / plymouth-manager , is there any easy artical to follow i am using 12.04 | 10:46 |
| The_Josh | I can't find it anywhere in Gnome Classic | 10:47 |
| blackshirt | lionrouge, why just 33 mb? | 10:47 |
| Blazemore|Work | aum__: What did you try to do? | 10:47 |
| Fernest | Blazemore|Work: Do those support a list of last commands and hotkeys for those? | 10:47 |
| lionrouge | I have gentoo on this drive | 10:47 |
| lionrouge | Had | 10:47 |
| User_ | I am attempting to find drivers for my wireless card on my Asus Maximus V Formula motherboard.... I've googled with no success. Any one have any ideas? | 10:47 |
| aum__ | Blazemore|Work, i want to change my boot splash logo. | 10:48 |
| Blazemore|Work | Fernest: Well, bash has the "history" command built in | 10:48 |
| blackshirt | lionrouge, some on ubuntu default, with one kernel, 33 mb was enough for your /boot... | 10:48 |
| The_Josh | Fernest Aristide There we go | 10:48 |
| The_Josh | It wasn't activated for some reasons | 10:48 |
| dav_ | simple, program quit without terminates work | 10:48 |
| nixu | DaZ was here? | 10:48 |
| lionrouge | blackshirt,, thanks | 10:49 |
| nixu | the real DaZ? | 10:49 |
| Eagleman | Nagious looks like windows 95 | 10:49 |
| blackshirt | Lionrouge, you should check and recheck it, and ensure your kernel,initrd images and other related stuff will fit on your 33 mb /boot partition | 10:49 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: So what happens when you run "sudo apt-get -f install" - can you put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 10:49 |
| The_Josh | Aristide, Now as I am activating the 3D accelerator, will gnome 3 work automatically next I restart? | 10:50 |
| Aristide | The_Josh, Sorry I don't know | 10:50 |
| blackshirt | lionrouge, one kernel image on ubuntu was about 24 mb in size... You should sure ... 33mb would not fit to install second kernel | 10:51 |
| dav_ | Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code | 10:51 |
| Fernest | Blazemore|Work: I like a visual representation of the last commands. Are those featured in your suggestions? | 10:51 |
| Blazemore|Work | Fernest: Yes, you type "history" and press Enter | 10:51 |
| bekks | dav_: Please pastebin the complete output. | 10:51 |
| Blazemore|Work | Then you type !n where n is the number of the command | 10:51 |
| Blazemore|Work | lionrouge: Is there a reason you want a separate /boot partition at all? | 10:52 |
| aum__ | Blazemore|Work, i tried to add the ppa , its added in the list ,but when i do update its giving W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mefrio-g/plymouthmanager/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 10:52 |
| blackshirt | dav_, you should describe more completely | 10:52 |
| Fernest | Blazemore|Work: mhh. no. I mean something like this: "The last xy (unique) commands are always listed in a side panel. F1-F12 can be pressed to launch those commands" | 10:53 |
| blackshirt | aum_, check the ppa.. I think that was not on there | 10:53 |
| Blazemore|Work | aum__: You need to replace "precise" with "oneiric" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mefrio-g (or similar) | 10:53 |
| moothecow | can I have the auto update process send a test mail? Configured heirloom mailx for it, can send mail from cli fine | 10:55 |
| somsip | Fernest: best I could suggest is 'alias h='history | tail -n 12', then map F1-12 as "!-1", "!-2", "!-3"...etc | 10:55 |
| somsip | Fernest: so you 'h' to see your last 12 commands, then Fn to re-run it | 10:56 |
| dav_ | blackshirt I try: I have upgraded to 12.10 beta with kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade but during the process the program had quit to run. Now i have about 2 Gb of updates but i can't install. | 10:56 |
| Fernest | somsip: cool tip! I'll try it out! | 10:56 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:56 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: Stop ignoring me. run sudo apt-get -f install and paste the output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and I WILL be able to help you | 10:57 |
| blackshirt | dav_, what the program cauesd first? | 10:57 |
| Blazemore|Work | That's the third time I've said that | 10:57 |
| Blazemore|Work | What exactly do you want? a "make everything better" command? Help us help you. | 10:57 |
| dav_ | blaze, ok | 10:57 |
| Blazemore|Work | Cool | 10:57 |
| Blazemore|Work | I need a coffee, sorry. Brb | 10:57 |
| unless | Today I upgrade my system and after that when I boot it keeps waiting for network configuration at start-up, then I have no network. When I try to open the Network at System Preferences it says the system network services are not compatible with this version, and I only see network proxy as service option. Could someone help me to solve it please? | 10:58 |
| GunClive | where can i look at the size of the packages of ubuntu? thanks guys. | 10:58 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i would like a make everything better button | 10:59 |
| blackshirt | gunlive, apt ptovided it | 11:00 |
| dav_ | blaze, done (italian output) | 11:00 |
| aum__ | Blazemore|Work, thanks let me check by rebooting ... | 11:01 |
| Fernest | somsip: In which file would I add those hotkeys? .bashrc? | 11:01 |
| unless | Have it ever existed a Ubuntu release 9 ? | 11:01 |
| dubey | not able to understand why asking for password even after making this entry in sudoer file : "user hostname = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/less,/usr/bin/tail,/bin/ls | 11:01 |
| dubey | " | 11:01 |
| unless | I am looking at the Ubuntu repository and I think it jumped from version 8.04.4 to 10.04 | 11:02 |
| unless | So we never have a 9 release ? | 11:02 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: Italian is fine, could you paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com | 11:02 |
| Blazemore|Work | And give me the URL in this channel so I can see exactly what the errors are | 11:02 |
| Blazemore|Work | You'll learn a bit about dpkg, and I'll learn a bit of Italian, so that's nice | 11:03 |
| dav_ | i pasted it | 11:03 |
| Blazemore|Work | What is the URL? | 11:03 |
| bekks | unless: We had, but that is outdated meanwhile. Only 10.04 LTS is still supported. 9.x isnt. | 11:03 |
| dav_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204539/ | 11:03 |
| bekks | dav_: Well, you have to share the URL. We cant guess it :) | 11:04 |
| Blazemore|Work | Thanks dav_ I'm looking now | 11:04 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: Do you need Skype? | 11:05 |
| dav_ | no | 11:05 |
| Blazemore|Work | Because that's trying to remove Skype | 11:05 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: Try this: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -f install | 11:06 |
| blackshirt | i think not a wise doing apt-get clean | 11:06 |
| dav_ | you mean i have to remove skype? | 11:06 |
| GunClive | apt-cache says that xubuntu-desktop has a size of 3596. is this kb or mb? | 11:06 |
| unless | bekks, do you thing I still can find it? | 11:07 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: You don't have to remove Skype, but whatever you were doing was also removing Skype | 11:07 |
| blackshirt | That would clean downloaded packages from apt cache | 11:07 |
| bekks | unless: No. Why would you need it? | 11:07 |
| Blazemore|Work | blackshirt: Yes, there might be a problem with a specific package | 11:07 |
| Blazemore|Work | http://blog.roryholland.co.uk/?p=15 | 11:07 |
| unless | bekks, I need it to run a VM for MITCH. | 11:07 |
| blackshirt | gunclive, i think byte | 11:08 |
| bekks | unless: Whatever that might be. If it still needs 9.x packages, it is hopelessly outdated. | 11:08 |
| blackshirt | gunvlive, look with some graphical tool | 11:08 |
| unless | bekks, I found a list of available releases at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ but they have release 8 but not 9. | 11:08 |
| dav_ | same error message | 11:08 |
| bekks | unless: Because 9.x isnt supported anymore at all. | 11:08 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: I actually have never seen that error message before, but I'm using Google Translate | 11:08 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 11:09 |
| Fernest | I can't find some tutorial on how to add shortcuts for the terminal | 11:09 |
| unless | bekks, I wonder because I never saw release 9. And how come they still show 8 if and not 9? | 11:09 |
| Fernest | and I don't get where to add those shortcuts. Is it part of the .bashrc? or part of the gnome-terminal program or part of the ubuntu hotkeys? | 11:09 |
| bekks | unless: 8.04 is an LTS release, 9.x want. | 11:09 |
| dav_ | blaze, same message even with last command | 11:10 |
| unless | bekks, what is an LTS release? | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | !lts | unless | 11:10 |
| ubottu | unless: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 11:10 |
| GunClive | blackshirt, synaptic also tells me something about 50kb. kubuntu-desktop as well. so this wont help | 11:11 |
| unless | Mmmm, ok. But if I insist, where would I find relesase 9? | 11:11 |
| bekks | unless: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Table_of_versions | 11:11 |
| GunClive | whats the size of xubuntu-desktop? | 11:11 |
| bekks | unless: Hopefully, it is purged from all mirrors meanwhile. | 11:12 |
| dav_ | i have forgotten... i have a message about incomplete upgrading and if i want to complete it but when i choose yes i have an error | 11:12 |
| unless | bekks, lol, I found it at a old-releases directory. | 11:15 |
| unless | bekks, why do you hate it so much? | 11:15 |
| Blazemore|Work | dav_: I'm really sorry but I can't help any further | 11:15 |
| dav_ | i'll try again, thanks for your help however | 11:16 |
| bekks | unless: I do not hate it. It is outdated from the point of its age and from the point of security updates. | 11:16 |

| evil_cat | Can I make a question ?... :) | 13:42 |
| evil_cat | I'm having problems accessing via web to the content in the /www/ dir hosted in my /home/user dir. Using lighttpd web-server-infraestructure. As I partitioned the disk, I can't allocate more than 5GB to my root partition. I set up the dir /home/user/www at 774 with Read and eXecute privileges to allocate the webs. The user allowed to acces to it is www-data. But probably permissions are not well setted up because I recieve 403 Forb | 13:42 |
| evil_cat | . | 13:42 |
| evil_cat | Could www-data privileges affect to access to home non-root directories? I'm so lost. I used a very simple directives in lighttpd.conf. The config file: http://paste.lighttpd.net/P#UAzTxSI39Sok3dkZ8s7lvRX9 | 13:42 |

| ses1984 | is it possible to install ubuntu to an existing ext4 partition and leave the existing files intact? | 14:03 |
| jrib | unless: ok. Try a live cd and see if your wired internet works there I guess. I don't know what else to suggest. Are you using network manager? Is your eth0 displayed anywhere? What's ifconfig look like? Do you get any feedback about the wired connection? Are you on wireless now? | 14:03 |
| Elesa | Ansi_: Umm, I mean a driver.. | 14:04 |
| jrib | evil_cat: as far as I can tell, /home/metx/www/index.lighttpd.html should be accessible to www-data | 14:04 |

| evil_cat | then is the clue is not on dir privileges, I can discard this hand... I'm right? | 14:05 |
| evil_cat | perhaps I need to activate some mod's in lighttp conf | 14:06 |
| jrib | evil_cat: right. You're getting a 403 for your_server_ip/index.lighttpd.html, right? | 14:06 |
| ThinkT510 | ses1984: yes but i'd be careful of whats already on there | 14:06 |
| sapharoth | try ignoring whats on the /proc/bus/usb for a while. and apply the settings | 14:06 |
| evil_cat | Now I get 404 Not Found. | 14:06 |
| Elesa | lsusb and lspci scan the buses at a low level, and do not require drivers in order for the devices to be found beyond those for the buses themselves. | 14:06 |
| evil_cat | later I got 403 Forbidden | 14:07 |
| jrib | evil_cat: and just "your_server_ip", what do you get? | 14:07 |
| evil_cat | the same | 14:07 |
| evil_cat | 404 Not Found | 14:07 |
| jrib | evil_cat: you're sure you are checking the right server, correct? Check the lighttpd logs (you may need to set one in your config) | 14:09 |
| evil_cat | jrib: I can access to index.lighttpd.html by server_ip/index.lighttpd.html | 14:09 |
| evil_cat | on jrib | 14:09 |
| evil_cat | but is not redirected to it when I use the single ip | 14:09 |
| jrib | evil_cat: well you have index-file.names only as index.html | 14:09 |
| evil_cat | I have more than in initially, probably the response is in the config file | 14:10 |
| evil_cat | I'll check possibilities, I'm so new using lighttp | 14:10 |
| evil_cat | thanks jrib I'll come back later :) | 14:10 |

| alecb | I recently attempted to install manufacturer drivers for my wifi card. how can I check if the installation worked? | 15:22 |
| blackshirt | alecb, what the driver you have been installed? | 15:22 |
| wilee-nilee | try the wifi | 15:22 |
| yeats | alecb: well the simplest test would appear to be whether wifi works ;-) | 15:22 |
| alecb | yeats: wilee-nilee the wifi kind of works but is having the same problems it was having before installing the manufacturer drivers (ie, using the kernel drivers) | 15:23 |
| yeats | alecb: a less smart-alecky answer is 'lsmod | grep drivername' | 15:23 |
| pappijo | How can I enable the multiverse repository? | 15:24 |
| yeats | alecb: have you looked at the logs? /var/log/syslog, for instance? | 15:24 |
| alecb | blackshirt: I forget the exact version number but it's a driver for a realek card, versions number ends in 88CE I thik (it's what comes with a t430). | 15:24 |
| blackshirt | pappijo, multiverse was activated by default | 15:24 |
| alecb | yeats: lsmod is probably what I'd be looking for.. what what I look for in /var/log/syslog ? | 15:24 |
| yeats | alecb: well, it depends on the device, the driver, etc., but I would think it would be obvious if there's a problem | 15:25 |

| alecb | blackshirt: I'm pretty sure the kernel driver was called 'rtl<some number>', I guess I'm not sure what the manuf driver would appear as | 15:26 |
| alecb | yeats: you mean obvious in the logs? it is obvious there's a problem, I'm just not sure if this is because of a failed instalation or in spite of a succesful one | 15:27 |
| billc | i have a belkin home base for printers i use in windows and would love to use in ubuntu | 15:27 |
| yeats | alecb: obvious in the logs | 15:27 |
| yeats | alecb: if the driver installed correctly, I would try to rule out a hardware issue | 15:28 |
| alecb | yeats: alright, I'll try lsmod/look in the logs | 15:28 |
| blackshirt | alecb look it with lsmod | 15:28 |
| alecb | yeats: hardware issue is ruled out because it works fine (well, it's usable) in windows (which I'm using now) | 15:28 |

| histo | billc: have you tried installing your printer? | 15:34 |
| billc | no i haven't | 15:34 |

| iateadonut | so when you dual boot two distro's, how do you keep your home, mysql, and html intact? | 15:57 |

| blackshirt | iatedonut, you can't boot dual distro on same time | 15:58 |
| ThinkT510 | iateadonut: 1: i don't run a server 2: i wouldn't share /home between distros | 15:58 |

| ThinkT510 | iateadonut: i keep what i need on a seperate storage partition | 15:59 |
| ThinkT510 | iateadonut: different distros ship different versions of the same apps, mixing config files can really mess things up | 16:00 |

| THEBLACKKING | i type "setxkbmap us,ar" in the terminal | 16:06 |
| Tony_Stark | I asked a question and did not get a response | 16:07 |
| bhadmeja | ok here is a general question, i am having quite a tough time installing tarballs in ubuntu. what are the most basic requirements that i should install "like python etc) toi make sure most tarballs installs easily | 16:08 |
| bazhang | bhadmeja, thats not how you install packages in ubuntu | 16:08 |
| OerHeks | bhadmeja, take a look at the read.me inside tarball | 16:08 |
| ThinkT510 | !software | bhadmeja | 16:09 |
| ubottu | bhadmeja: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 16:09 |
| bazhang | bhadmeja, dont install python from a tarball | 16:09 |
| THEBLACKKING | ok, it worked now with "setxkbmap us,ar -option grp:alt_shift_toggle" | 16:09 |
| bhadmeja | is there anything for ubuntu which can convert tarballs to APT, as i read somewhere that yum does it for fedora | 16:09 |
| bazhang | bhadmeja, no need in this case | 16:10 |
| ThinkT510 | bhadmeja: why are you trying to install from a tarball? | 16:10 |
| THEBLACKKING | شُكراً على أي حال :) | 16:10 |
| bhadmeja | because i got a dvd from a tech magazine, it has all the files in form of tarballs, was just curious how to install them | 16:10 |
| bhadmeja | else i usually prefer sudo apt-get on;y | 16:11 |
| Tony_Stark | ./configure make makeinstall | 16:11 |
| bazhang | bhadmeja, dont. use the package manager | 16:11 |
| bhadmeja | why? | 16:11 |
| Tony_Stark | tarballs install with ./configure make makeinstall | 16:12 |
| ThinkT510 | bhadmeja: because thats what the package manager is for | 16:12 |
| Pici | !checkinstall | 16:12 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 16:12 |
| ThinkT510 | bhadmeja: if you install things outside of the package manager then it won't be aware of them and can mess things up | 16:13 |
| bhadmeja | hmmm.. one more thing recently i installed mathematica in ubuntu | 16:13 |
| bhadmeja | it was not getting installed, later i found out on internet that it dont get installed if directory path name has space in it | 16:14 |
| bhadmeja | so i copied it in drive with no spaces in name and it gor installed smoothly | 16:14 |
| bhadmeja | any suggestions why | 16:14 |
| bhadmeja | ? | 16:15 |

| Lord_Zero | #CS:GO | 16:52 |
| Lord_Zero | whops | 16:52 |
| black_13 | or rather when you specify arguaments to kernel on boot up where are the stored are they stored in the /proc or /sys file systems? | 16:52 |
| JuJuBee | When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a, nothing seems to be happening but top shows dpkg using 60% CPU. | 16:53 |
| mike___ | black_13, I believe "cat /proc/cmdline" will show you the arguments that grub(2) would have passed to the kernel on a running system. | 16:54 |
| black_13 | it does or it does show something that look lke would you would expect | 16:54 |

| TheLordOfTime | alexes: DNS should handle "subdomains", then those DNS entries should point to your server, not sure how your domain registrar handles the DNS though | 16:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | alexes: then on your server you would have listeners for those domains (in apache2, or whatever webserver), or have other services listening for that hostname, but again, its partially dependent on your goal(s), and DNS/registrar | 16:58 |

| alexes | somsip: free. | 17:04 |
| mike___ | black_13, Ah I see, sorry I misunderstood. So are you booting using a CD and trying to change the preseed file it uses, or booting normally and trying to specify a preseed file on a CD you have in the drive. | 17:04 |
| somsip | alexes: so no subdomains? Just 'mydomain.no-ip.org' and similar? | 17:04 |
| alexes | oh wait, sorry, I think I may have explained it wrong. | 17:04 |
| alexes | I registered my domain name through no-ip.com, and I use their dynamic DNS client. | 17:05 |
| black_13 | mike___: i have tried both | 17:05 |
| madchild | hello | 17:06 |
| black_13 | mike___: in one case i tried making a preseed file and then added it to a custom iso using isomaster | 17:06 |
| madchild | i had sound until unsucessfully added center can i get some sound troubleshooting advice please | 17:07 |
| mike___ | black_13, I'm afraid I don't know then, have you read through the Ubuntu Installation Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html ? There might be something in there that helps. | 17:09 |

| alecb | back again. my lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204994/ my lsmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204993/. can anyone confirm that I'm not using the manuf drivers for my wifi card? | 17:13 |
| alecb | I'm guessing this is the case b/c the version number of my card doesn't match the version of the rtl driver | 17:14 |
| alecb | but I'm not really sure if those numbers are even supposed to match up | 17:14 |
| alexes | mike___: I guess I'm just confused at how subdomain management works. I have a shared hosting account with hostgator, and I can setup the subdomains there extremely easily, all I have to do is specify what it is (i.e. test.example.com points to /var/www/test) and it does it by itself... I own the domain example.com and I want to be able to have test.example.com go to (for example) example.com/test | 17:14 |
| alexes | the domain example.com is what I'm hosting on my own private server at home | 17:14 |

| Takyoji | I'm having an issue of RAM being flooded, no, it's not by shared memory or buffers; the system has 2GB of RAM, but only 70MB free (and yes, I'm referring to the row of '-/+ buffers/cache'. I'm looking through top and the biggest process is only 0.3% of the RAM; a few instances of Apache and Postgres, and nothing else notable | 17:29 |
| mike___ | alexes, Ok, my DNS is a little rusty but, DNS has different record types (A, NS, MX, etc). So it depends whether you're registrar handles example.com for you, or simple offloads any DNS queries to your server. Chances are your registrar handles the DNS for your domain, therefore sub domains would have to be set up at your registrar. What your registrar is doing is allowing example.com to be resolved to your servers (or routers) public | 17:29 |
| mike___ | IP address. But your server isn't actually managing the example.com domain. When you setup test.example.com on your web hosting I think you're actually configuring apache/IIS with VirtualHosts/Host headers. | 17:29 |
| black_13 | how do enable ssh unbuntu 12 | 17:29 |

| trism | miniCruzer: that is usually where apply a patch, though I will admit I'm not really sure what you are doing, do you have a link to the patch? | 17:29 |

| mbeierl | Takyoji, I notice the same thing, and I have yet to find a decent answer to the question.

| DkY | Can there be a timing issue when loading the mcs7830 driver + usbnet and also bringing up the interface /etc/network/interfaces? | 17:46 |
| mike___ | serge_ru, Does this work for any other client? At a guess, I'd say you probably don't have IP forwarding set up (it's disabled by default) - http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/01/how-to-enable-ip-forwarding-in-linux/ . Otherwise have a look here (it mentions about routing to other networks): https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openvpn.html#openvpn-advanced-config | 17:46 |
| miniCruzer | trism: success | 17:47 |
| serge_ru | mike__, i don't have any other clients since this is my first experience in my openvpn server configuring | 17:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Elvano, It might help if you name the upgrade from what to what release and the DE you are using and any cutomization of the DE I would think. | 17:47 |
| trism | miniCruzer: excellent | 17:47 |

| mike___ | serge_ru, Then I think the problem is your VPN server isn't configured to forward your clients network packets, i.e. IP Forwarding isn't enabled. Read the first link I sent in my previous message, which should tell you how to check and enable IP forwarding. | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Elvano, ASwell do you have that install backed up, in a clone or the parts you cannot lose? | 17:49 |

| SMTbr | yes | 18:07 |
| Guest87414 | hi | 18:07 |
| fidel | SMTbr: if so - is it executable? is it using full path for its commands inside the script? | 18:08 |
| Josh__ | wilee-nilee, Well, The point I am trying to make is, If you are going to install something that is not available in repository, without help of package manager how can you install it quickly and easily? | 18:08 |
| fidel | SMTbr: does the script itself works if you run it manualy? | 18:08 |
| Josh__ | I just want to know the way you can say | 18:08 |
| SMTbr | yes, its executable, and it use full paths | 18:08 |
| SMTbr | yes | 18:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Elvano, I'm running 12.04.1 with the gnome shell, gnome 3 is the support for the ubuntu desktop=unity and the gnome-shell | 18:08 |
| SMTbr | it works, if i enter the directory and type ./exec_backup | 18:09 |
| === Josh__ is now known as The_Josh | ||
| wilee-nilee | Josh__, I would look on the web abd see where it is at. | 18:09 |
| wilee-nilee | and* | 18:09 |
| rsvp | The_Josh, "man apt-get" | 18:09 |
| The_Josh | rsvp, Already read | 18:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Josh__, It is not often that you will install outside of a ubuntu repo generally. | 18:09 |
| jrib | SMTbr: what if you don't enter the directory first? In any case, pastebin the actual script | 18:09 |
| The_Josh | wilee-nilee, I find it very often | 18:10 |
| The_Josh | :P | 18:10 |
| The_Josh | wilee-nilee, I have my own repos on git hub and many places | 18:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Josh__, Mioght be in a ppa for example if outside of a repo | 18:10 |

| wilee-nilee | Elvano, What you need to do I think I doubt I can help here though is to pastebin the commands you run and the errors in a pastebin. | 18:12 |
| rsvp | SMTbr, see if there's a difference between "sh backup" and "bash backup" | 18:13 |
| Shehrazad | where is firefox profile folder in 12.04 | 18:14 |

| Froward | try hitting Ctrl + alt + f1 to see if you can get to another TTY | 18:33 |
| pepee | mikk0, do you know how to edit the boot commands in grub? | 18:33 |

| mikk0 | pepee, how do i get into the grub menu? | 18:34 |

| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | mikk0 | 18:36 |
| ubottu | mikk0: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:36 |

| p3rsist | histo: I want to run it in a host config management script. | 18:43 |
| wilee-nilee | mikk0, Sounds like a bad install if you have not changed grub, the grub menu is before graphics are kicked on. | 18:44 |
| histo | p3rsist: well you could edit /etc/timezone manually but you need to run a fw things to make it change immediately. Take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst to see what is run when dpkg-reconfigure tzdata is called | 18:44 |

| DataLate | what was the default file manager on xfce? | 19:23 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: Thunar | 19:24 |
| DataLate | thjanks | 19:24 |
| DataLate | is it wise to remove nautilus and install thunar? | 19:24 |
| pranavk | what is a metapackage, i mean how its different than other normal packages ? | 19:25 |
| pepee | isn't is pcmanfm? | 19:25 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: not sure on wise or not, I actually don't really know why you would | 19:25 |
| DataLate | well, i am using fluxbox | 19:25 |
| DataLate | and i have problems with nautilus | 19:25 |
| DataLate | each time i open it, fluxbox fucks up | 19:25 |
| pepee | DataLate, try installing it, no need to remove nautilus, I suppose | 19:26 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: yea i don't see a problem then just leave nautilus installed just install Thunar and set it as default file manager | 19:26 |
| DataLate | i dont know how to set it as default :( | 19:26 |
| alpre | pranavk: it's just a help to provide many packages at once | 19:26 |
| shihan | pranavk: a metapackage really doesnt contain much in the way of files, just a bunch of dependancies... | 19:27 |
| michele_ | /etc/default | 19:27 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: sudo update-alternatives -all | 19:27 |
| j`ey | does ubuntu have a different default ssh port? | 19:27 |
| pranavk | alpre: shihan : i am installing mysql, they have two packages there, one of them being meta, so does it mean that i need metapackages before installing the other one ? | 19:28 |
| hegemoOn | hello | 19:28 |
| hegemoOn | i have trouble with perl version | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | j`ey, different than what ? | 19:28 |
| michele_ | j`ey no, 22 | 19:28 |
| hegemoOn | and /usr/share/perl and /usr/share/perl5 | 19:29 |
| j`ey | michele_: ty | 19:29 |
| DataLate | Troy^: there was no file manager there | 19:29 |
| hegemoOn | how do i specify which module i want to run ? | 19:30 |
| shihan | pranavk: generally not, no | 19:30 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: hmm | 19:30 |
| hegemoOn | because Zlib.pm is quit different version from both directory | 19:30 |
| Troy^ | DataLate: go to system settings | 19:30 |
| DataLate | i am using fluxbox | 19:30 |
| pranavk | shihan: when would i need only metapackages and not the other one, is there any situation you can think of ? | 19:30 |
| DataLate | no gnome :P | 19:30 |
| pepee | DataLate, alt+f2 thunar | 19:31 |
| Kveras | I have a problem with my Samba setup. When I use "touch /path/to/server/foo" I have no problems creating a file from the client. But when I try to save a file from Firefox, I get a popup complaining about permissions. ls gives "drwxrwxr-x+ 2 1001 cifs 0 sep 14 21:27 watch/" and I have specified "gid=1001" in my fstab. Any thoughts? | 19:31 |
| michele_ | j`ey your welcome | 19:31 |
| DataLate | pepee: is it now default? | 19:31 |
| shihan | pranvk: well, meta packages just install everything for a specific set of circumstances... like mysql (meta package) might install mysql-server, mysql-client (and a tonne of other mysql packages)... i.e. everything you could depend on for mysql work... but if you just wanted server, then mysql-server will most likely do what you need | 19:31 |
| Naminukas | Did it restarted there was logon sound and that's it no sound in test sound nor from music player nor when selecting OS sound scheme | 19:32 |
| pepee | DataLate, nop, to run it do that | 19:32 |
| DataLate | :/ | 19:33 |
| DataLate | that didn't help much :) | 19:33 |
| DataLate | when i open something from browser or something | 19:33 |
| DataLate | it opens up nautilus | 19:33 |
| pepee | DataLate, try closing logging out or rebooting | 19:33 |
| Naminukas | Troy^? | 19:34 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 19:34 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: when it installs open it and go to configuration and select "Analog Stereo Output" | 19:34 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: it is Pulse Audio Voume btw | 19:35 |
| shihan | pranavk, sometimes too, meta packages point at the "most used version" i.e. mysql-server might point at mysql-server-some-version (even if its not newest) because its the most likely one you want... but if you installed mysql-server-some-version rather then the meta-package, theres no real difference | 19:35 |
| hegemoOn | nobody to help me about this issue ? | 19:36 |
| leoleen | hey | 19:36 |
| michele_ | hey | 19:36 |
| pranavk | shihan: i see, thanks | 19:37 |
| shihan | hegemoOn, often with -I option in perl, but #perl would probably help you better then here | 19:37 |
| Naminukas | it didnt install nedds to download something and fails couse no connection | 19:37 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: connect it to the net | 19:38 |
| leoleen | how do you reinstall the default theme and and login wallpaper on oneiric | 19:38 |
| Naminukas | I can't | 19:38 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: why | 19:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | Naminukas: no ethernet cable? | 19:38 |
| Naminukas | need to change or imitate other mac and change TCP/IP config to custom adresses | 19:39 |
| Naminukas | and that by the way doesn't work to | 19:39 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: why does the MAC matter? | 19:39 |
| Naminukas | cose thats how provider ensures that you dont connect your cable to other pc than your own | 19:40 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: lol that is easily bypassed get a router | 19:40 |
| shihan | "ifconfig hw ...." changes mac addresses | 19:41 |
| Naminukas | yeah no monety for that | 19:41 |
| === jakub is now known as jakub_r | ||
| Naminukas | tried it doesnt do a squat | 19:41 |

| pepee | try reloading the module | 19:42 |
| === LiKwan_ is now known as LiKwan | ||
| Naminukas | Have got no network equipment jus the freaking UTP cable | 19:42 |
| shihan | ahhh, not all nic cards will happily change mac addresses, but its rare that they dont | 19:42 |
| pepee | rmmod somthing; modprobe something; ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig hw .... | 19:42 |
| derply | Hi. I am having trouble with boot-repair. It tells me to refer to this: paste.ubuntu.com/1205488 | 19:43 |
| Troy^ | You can get routers now a days that can use your computers MAC the one that was initially configured with your ISP. Or you could set up a linux box dual nic(gateway) with a switch | 19:43 |
| pepee | or download the macchanger package manually and install it on the other machine | 19:44 |
| Troy^ | Your ISP is a scam Naminukas where do you live? | 19:44 |
| Naminukas | now i dont even understan what are you talking about, keep in mind i'm a total noob in linux and i dont understand network much | 19:44 |
| sapharoth | derply, paste the complete link | 19:44 |
| Naminukas | Lithuania | 19:44 |
| Naminukas | xD | 19:44 |
| Troy^ | oh | 19:44 |
| BlueWolf | Hello, I have a .sh file in my downloads and its for my new printer how do I install it? | 19:44 |
| Naminukas | yeah it sucks here | 19:44 |
| derply | sapharoth: Err... that is the complete link? | 19:45 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: they have huge bandwidth pipes though | 19:45 |
| Naminukas | yep | 19:45 |
| Naminukas | But you see i live in a dorm | 19:45 |
| shihan | there is an alternative you might try... setup bridging, bridge the ethernet port, then change the mac address on the br0 interface | 19:45 |
| pepee | Naminukas, http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/macchanger | 19:45 |
| Naminukas | so no coverage of all the awesome ISP's | 19:45 |
| sapharoth | derply, dude with the http. | 19:46 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: ahh well you pay for your own ISP in your room? | 19:46 |
| Naminukas | yep | 19:46 |
| shihan | naminukas: btw, what makes you think its not working? (ifconfig ... hw ether)? simply cause you cant access anything? | 19:46 |
| Troy^ | Naminukas: could make your live alot easier with a router | 19:47 |
| Naminukas | nope when i put cable in it says disconected | 19:47 |
| derply | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205488/ | 19:47 |
| Naminukas | if config up does not give any response | 19:47 |
| shihan | naminukas: ahhh, if your in a dorm, chances are that is "by design" | 19:47 |
| OerHeks | Naminukas, After changing MAC, maybe .. reboot? | 19:48 |
| shihan | Naminukas, is the pc that normally plugs into that cable a pc the dorm gave you? | 19:48 |
| savio | hey how can i use remmnia to share my desktop any howto | 19:49 |
| * OerHeks wonders how Naminukas is internetting iwithout acces | 19:49 | |
| savio | i'm confused | 19:49 |
| kunji1 | Naminukas, you can set up the MAC spoofing in the GUI, you might need a reboot, but in almost all cases logging out and back in is sufficient. | 19:49 |
| hegemoOn | i just only installed standard ubuntu | 19:49 |
| Naminukas | im with other windows pc now | 19:50 |
| hegemoOn | i dont know how this could happen | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | shihan: i assume when he got his internet installed they used the MAC of his computer at the location | 19:50 |
| guntbert_ | savio: if I remember correctly you use vino-preferences to share your desktop | 19:50 |
| kunji1 | Yeah, that's a common practice at universities (to do mac filtering) | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | hegemoOn: what do you mean only standard ubuntu? | 19:50 |
| Naminukas | Thanks guys | 19:50 |
| shihan | Troy^, i dont think so, i think his dorm is using a fairly common piece of network security that blocks any hardware except their own... changing mac's aint gunna help | 19:50 |
| Naminukas | Troy^ especialy | 19:50 |
| hegemoOn | i mean i didnt played with module and perl | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | kunji1: is easily bypassed with newer routers | 19:50 |
| savio | but guntbert_ ubuntu has remmnia desktop client what about that | 19:51 |
| hegemoOn | and know i have conflict of module version | 19:51 |
| Naminukas | I'm gonna go now couse my girl is litteraly is trying to drown me in tequila | 19:51 |
| hegemoOn | so this is pretty annoying | 19:51 |
| Naminukas | gonna ask questions here tomorow | 19:51 |
| kunji1 | Tory^: it's easily bypassed period, but lots of people don't know how :P, and at least it has been the practice at every campus I have been to. | 19:51 |
| shihan | kunji1, i bet i can make a setup you couldnt bypass ;) | 19:52 |
| Troy^ | lol yea kunji1 most of the dorms i've been here have open wifi spots through out the dorms | 19:52 |
| guntbert_ | savio: a "client" is something that connects to a "server", so you need remmina (or vinagre) to actually connect and see your shared desktop from another machine | 19:52 |
| pepee | so, people doesn't know how to use macchanger | 19:52 |
| savio | shihan, theres is know such thing that can't be bypassed | 19:52 |

| kunji1 | Troy^: yeah, that's true, but I mean for their wired networks they use the mac addresses, and those networks are mostly separate. Often only a few ports are opened on the wireless, like 80, 443, and some others, often even ssh is blocked. | 19:54 |

| sapharoth | derply, i read your link why are you loading the boot loader in sda5 your boot partition is sda7. | 19:57 |

| derply | sapharoth: It said something about making a separate /boot in boot-repair. | 19:58 |
| shihan | kunji1, Troy^ : my bet is that the pc thats supposed to be plugged into that utp cable Naminukas has was supplied by the dorm with a very locked down very of windows... and the card in it has been coded with ethernet authentication data so its very difficult to plug something else in there | 19:58 |

| shihan | Troy^, yeah, but then ifconfig hw ether... should work if it were just mac address filtering, there are VERY few cards (and they'd have to be very old) that cant do that these days | 19:59 |
| pepee | derply, the easiest, best way to do it is from a live cd, chrooting in the ubuntu partition | 19:59 |

| derply | sapharoth: So, I want to go sudo grub... etc. | 20:10 |
| blz | Anybody else having issues with hibernate? I think the last kernel upgrade broke hibernation... | 20:10 |
| BlueWolf | 20:11 | |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: Sorry I don't, my knowledge of the command line is poor. Is it not easyer to extract the file and run the .sh? | 20:11 |
| kunji1 | blz: hibernation has always been kind of hit or miss, which is I think why it is now disabled by default in the GUI | 20:11 |
| blz | kunji1, that's a shame... =/ | 20:11 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: that si what we are dong | 20:11 |
| cat-orze | I'm new but I keep the unity launcher, could put something like that and leaving only the top bar? | 20:11 |
| blz | kunji1, anything I could do to try to fix it? | 20:11 |
| kunji1 | blz: Sorry, no idea, I've never gotten that in depth in the inner working of linux | 20:12 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: So do I just double click the .sh? | 20:12 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf try it | 20:12 |
| cat-orze | Sorry, se you later | 20:12 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: you can extract it by dragging first as well | 20:12 |
| sapharoth | BlueWolf, see "man tar" to untar the type of file you need. | 20:12 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: When I run it nothing happens | 20:13 |
| adymitruk | anyone getting stuck with "sudo apt-get update"? hangs forever? | 20:13 |
| savio | blz disable hibernaet | 20:13 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: sudo chmod +x filename.sh | 20:13 |
| guntbert_ | kunji1: you need to add yourself to the group adm, then you can read most of the logs (need to log out/in) to make it work | 20:13 |

| crilly | savio: Earlier you said the Wubi installer installs Ubuntu as a Windows application. I'm not certain that is correct, or have I misunderstood you? | 20:13 |
| savio | crilly, i think so what you think? | 20:14 |
| guntbert_ | Troy^: maybe tell him to use chmod -v ... (so he actually sees results) | 20:14 |
| crilly | savio: I think that's wrong, because the MBR has been updated. | 20:15 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: chmod: cannot access `cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb.sh': No such file or directory | 20:15 |
| derply | sapharoth: Right.. so I am in the grub> prompt, how do I do this thang? | 20:15 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: you are not in the directory obviously | 20:15 |
| kunji1 | guntbert_: yeah seems like a reasonable way to go ^_^ | 20:15 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: the .sh is in a file in the downloads? | 20:15 |
| jochl | I have IDLE in my unity launcher, but when I click on it the windows appear under "*Python Shell*" which makes the launcher behavior quite useless, is there an easy way to associate the windows to the launcher? | 20:15 |
| adymitruk | stuck on "waiting for headers" while running "sudo apt-get update".. anyone else? is there a cure? | 20:16 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix1.html read 'list' and 'changing directories' | 20:16 |
| savio | crilly, if you want to remove it you have to use uninstaller of windows | 20:16 |
| BlueWolf | the file is cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb - and the .sh is in that install.sh? | 20:16 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: the file is cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb - and the .sh is in that install.sh? | 20:16 |
| savio | crilly, and it;s old method when we have to upgrade win 98 to xp without formatting it that time also same happenes | 20:17 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: you need to extract the .sh from it tar -zxvf cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb | 20:17 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: I have | 20:17 |
| savio | crilly, they update MBR but you can uninstall xp using Add and remove facility | 20:17 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: ok type ls -l and the .sh should be there no? | 20:17 |
| summu_ | BlueWolf, try running "sh cnijfilter****" | 20:18 |
| savio | crilly, on wubi webpage :"The Windows-based Ubuntu Installer (Wubi) allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu from within Microsoft Windows" | 20:18 |
| summu_ | BlueWolf, sorry try running "sh install.sh" | 20:18 |
| Troy^ | summu_: i am not sure BlueWolf even knows how to navigate to a directory via cli | 20:18 |
| Shehrazad | Hi, all! | 20:18 |
| crilly | savio: Indeed - the files are stored within Windows, but the MBR has been configured to read the FAT partition to load the boot loader - GUB in this case. | 20:19 |
| summu_ | damn is it BlueWolf! | 20:19 |
| Shehrazad | is there a way to remove programs from dashboard, especially the ones that have icons in taskbar | 20:19 |
| summu_ | i mean is that true BlueWolf | 20:19 |
| Shehrazad | unlock only removes them if they are not active | 20:19 |
| Troy^ | summu_: huh? | 20:19 |

| varzak | So I downloaded Ubuntu desktop 12.04 64 .. and burned it on a dvd. When I boot to the dvd I get the error "error: "prefix" is not set". and that screen will stay there for several minutes. How to I install ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: i'm not looking at your desktop | 20:20 |
| kunji1 | BlueWolf: sure, go with that one | 20:20 |
| arosen1 | if you are running ubuntu 12.04 is there anyway to get the classic gnome back like in 10.04? (I'm installed gnome-shell but it's like the 11.04 gnome). | 20:20 |
| sapharoth | BlueWolf, alright that working i suppose. | 20:21 |
| NCS_One | varzak: try a pen. like this you don't waste DVDs | 20:21 |
| savio | crilly, wikipedia has some description thay says it uses some loopmounted device | 20:21 |
| savio | crilly, thanks | 20:21 |
| arosen1 | The way that window dragging works at the bottom of gnome-terminal in the new version of gnome drive me crazy. It's hard to click in the right place to expand the window out. | 20:21 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: What do you mean "i'm not looking at your desktop"? | 20:21 |
| Troy^ | varzak: that doesn't tell us very much | 20:21 |
| NCS_One | varzak: use UNetBootIn | 20:21 |
| kunji1 | arosen1: yeah, it shouldn't be hard to find by googling gnome-classic or gnome classic, something like that. It's pretty easy and you can pick what one you want at the login screen | 20:21 |
| varzak | Do you want more detail or what? | 20:22 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf do us all a favour and google "linux cli for noobs" | 20:22 |
| sapharoth | arosen1, don't you like the new gnome look?? just asking!! | 20:22 |
| arosen1 | sapharoth: no i hate it :/ | 20:22 |
| savio | crilly, i have ever use mount -o option | 20:22 |
| arosen1 | it was better before imo | 20:22 |
| savio | crilly, it's same | 20:22 |
| shihan | arosen1: yeah, the window draggin is very annoying... if you use the top right, its a little easier | 20:22 |
| shihan | arosen1: you get like a 1-pixel grab location for the drag :) | 20:23 |
| varzak | Is it a problem with the disk or my computer | 20:23 |
| arosen1 | Also i don't like the x's on the right side. | 20:23 |
| arosen1 | i mean on the left side. | 20:23 |
| arosen1 | I want them on the right. | 20:23 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: Sorry I'm a pain I know. Listen I think I have it working but I just need to try print something. Can I get back to you? | 20:23 |
| guntbert_ | !enter | arosen1 | 20:23 |
| crilly | savio: Indeed - just a loopback device. You simply take an ISO and mount it locally so it appears as a local block device | 20:23 |
| ubottu | arosen1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:23 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: yup | 20:23 |
| guntbert_ | savio: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » | 20:24 |
| NCS_One | I installed ubuntu 12 on my laptop and it doesn't detect my second monitor. How can I fix this? | 20:24 |
| kunji1 | arosen1: google that one as well, I'm pretty sure moving the xs back is pretty easy, but I don't remember it off the top of my head | 20:24 |
| Troy^ | NCS_One: what graphics card? | 20:24 |
| NCS_One | Troy^: nvidia | 20:25 |
| savio | guntbert_, yeah i know i'm just explaining him thanks anyway | 20:25 |
| Troy^ | NCS_One in settings do you not have a nvidia settings manager? | 20:25 |
| NCS_One | Troy^: no | 20:26 |
| derply | Okay.. so I tried using boot-repair again, and this is the first error I get: Embedding-error-in-sda detected. You may want to retry after activating the [Separate /boot partition:] option. | 20:26 |
| guntbert_ | savio: so I addressed the wrong person, sorry :) | 20:26 |
| Troy^ | NCS_One: do you have anything prompting you about propietary graphics driver like a dialog window? | 20:26 |
| savio | guntbert_, it's not your fault i just type wrong in hurry | 20:27 |
| NCS_One | Troy^: already done it | 20:27 |

| derply | ... and here is the other error I get: http://www.pasteall.org/35241 | 20:28 |
| NCS_One | Troy^: When I go to "Additional drivers" it says that "NVIDIA accelareted graphics driver (version current)[Recommended]" is installed | 20:28 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: Ok it appears I have over come my stupidity and got it working - Printing. Now I just need to learn how to scan it? | 20:29 |
| Troy^ | NCS_One: type in term nvidia-settings | 20:29 |
| zykotick9 | NCS_One: is this a hybrid video setup? does "lspci -v | grep -i vga" list 2 cards? | 20:29 |
| pepee | derply, how many times have you tried to fix it without rebooting? | 20:29 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: no idea.. put paper in hit scan button? | 20:30 |
| savio | crilly, i suggest you should try Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager | 20:30 |
| derply | pepee: Ha.. just the once. | 20:30 |
| savio | crilly, for fun | 20:30 |
| Troy^ | NCS_One: nvidia-settings will bring up the settings manager | 20:30 |
| pepee | derply, also, I wouldn't trust in that script | 20:30 |
| NCS_One | zykotick9: only shows 1 | 20:31 |
| derply | pepee: eh? | 20:31 |
| kunji1 | zykotick9: Do you know much about hybrid setups? Because I may contact you for some help later if you do. | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | NCS_One: ok, then open nvidia-setting and verifiy if it shows 2 monitors | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | kunji1: nothing at all. sorry man. | 20:31 |
| pepee | derply, well, doesn't seem to be working. why would you use it again and again? | 20:31 |
| whoever | are there drivers that work for ausu engts450 vider card ?, the card works fine in windows but thing that should have a beig color or white people look blue. I have tried the propietary driver undr settings aditional drivers, but not change | 20:32 |
| BlueWolf | Troy^: Do you know what program I can use to scan images or documents onto my computer? How does one normally do this on linux? | 20:32 |
| derply | pepee: If you have an alternative, I'd use it... but that seems to be what everyone recommends. | 20:32 |
| kunji1 | zykotick9: Ah well, I had given up on it, but then you just gave me hope, and then crushed it T.T | 20:32 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: did you hit the scan button on your printer or does it not have one? | 20:32 |
| zykotick9 | BlueWolf: xsane or simplescan are 2 common scanning options | 20:32 |
| pepee | derply, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 | 20:32 |
| whoever | BlueWolf: scane | 20:33 |
| pepee | derply, under "From the Live CD:" | 20:33 |
| kunji1 | BlueWolf: yeah simplescan is as it says, the simple one, but xsane is awesome! | 20:33 |
| derply | pepee: I'll give it a go, cheers. | 20:33 |
| BlueWolf | kunji1: xsane is a scanning program? | 20:33 |
| kunji1 | BlueWolf: Yeah | 20:34 |
| Troy^ | BlueWolf: eya | 20:34 |
| zykotick9 | BlueWolf: sane stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" | 20:34 |
| BlueWolf | whoever: kunji1: Troy^: which is the better one or user friendly one ? scane or xsane? | 20:35 |
| derekpioneer | i added display-setup-script= /usr/share/lightdmxrandr.sh to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 20:36 |
| pepee | derply, this looks better http://opensource-sidh.blogspot.com/2011/06/recover-grub-live-ubuntu-cd.html | 20:36 |
| derekpioneer | but it does not run on startup | 20:36 |

| derekpioneer | when i do sh /usr/share/lightdmxrandr.sh i get a couple errors but it changes my resolution fine | 20:36 |
| derekpioneer | adding it to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf does not seem to run it on startup though | 20:36 |
| derekpioneer | i have to run it manually every time | 20:36 |
| whoever | BlueWolf: well what are you scanning images, pdfs to ocr | 20:37 |
| BlueWolf | whoever: all? Documents, images etc | 20:38 |
| whoever | BlueWolf: xscan, give scan~2pdf a shot, it has ocr capabillities | 20:38 |
| kunji1 | BlueWolf: simplescan is more user friendly, but xsane really isn't hard, so I always go with xsane myself | 20:39 |
| whoever | BlueWolf: but if you want to do film negetives, slides and don't mind paying then try vuescan | 20:39 |
| Troy^ | does xsane do scan2pdf? | 20:39 |
| BlueWolf | 20:40 | |
| BlueWolf | kunji1: ok I will try | 20:40 |
| BlueWolf | whoever: I don't need that much, just documents | 20:40 |
| whoever | Kyngdom: i think all the above are pretty user friendy | 20:40 |

| BlueWolf | 20:43 | |

| Troy^ | Niji just change your boot order in your bios | 20:48 |
| Troy^ | Niji if you formatted it what is it trying to boot from the stick? | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | Niji: you need to remove grub (by clearing the MBR), which isn't on the "partitions". sorry i don't know the easiest way (or any for that matter) to do that. | 20:49 |
| Niji | but thats a hassle | 20:49 |
| shihan | the easiest way is to blat (zero) the first 400 bytes of the usb disk (iirc) | 20:49 |
| kunji1 | Niji: well so long as your bios supports booting from USB, most do these days. | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | shihan: ftw - if you know how ;) | 20:49 |
| kunji1 | Why would he need to remove grub from the mbr? | 20:50 |
| shihan | well i ifigure i dont really wanna say how cause i'd do it with dd, and if you choose the wrong /dev/sd?, then its a gunna be painful | 20:50 |
| zykotick9 | kunji1: to make it UN-bootable (assuming it's grub and not something else) | 20:50 |
| Niji | i don't want it to be bootable cuz i can't use it on the store to print stuff out on those kodak machines | 20:50 |
| kunji1 | zykotick9: oh, whoops, lol, I read that as bootable, yeah | 20:51 |
| shihan | if you know which /dev/sd? device it is, and you dont care about anything on it... sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/sdx... make sure you get the right /dev/sd? device tho | 20:51 |
| kunji1 | I'm pretty sure you can use dd and just write nothingness to the mbr | 20:51 |

| kunji1 | BlueWolf: but you might want to try logging out and in again to see if it picks it up, and try disconnecting and reconnecting the scanner | 21:02 |

| sapharoth | Niji, and it's not the virus, the usb has it reserved. | 21:02 |
| Niji | i typed that nothing happens | 21:03 |
| shihan | niji: did you check which device your usb is? i.e. its /dev/sdx where x is a letter between a-z (make SURE you get the right one) | 21:03 |
| NCS_One | on ubuntu 12 where can I change the positions of the workspaces? | 21:03 |
| BlueWolf | zykotick9: this is what it says: You try to run Xsane as ROOT, that really is Dangerous! - Do I Continue at my own risK? | 21:04 |
| Niji | how do i know which one? lol doesn't tell me just says cruzer | 21:04 |
| shihan | niji: when you plug it in, it should mount somewhere, if you do a "df" from the command line, you should see it as /dev/sdx | 21:05 |
| Niji | ok its sda1 | 21:05 |
| shihan | oh no, i very much doubt its sda1 | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | BlueWolf: continue - and see if it works! did you use gksudo? that's important! | 21:05 |

| Sokel | demonoid_com lol, no | 21:19 |
| beandog | StanaDyne: try putting double quotes around it. | 21:19 |
| beandog | rm "filename" | 21:19 |
| demonoid_com | Sokel why :D | 21:19 |
| beandog | that covers anything that'd need to be escaped (unless it has quotes in it) | 21:20 |
| Sokel | demonoid_com: Invalid argument MEANS there's a - somewhere in the filename. That's why you don't try to put a -f on it and expect it to work. | 21:20 |
| jrib | StanaDyne: I already told you what to do. You need to fsck that partition | 21:20 |
| Sokel | demonoid_com: It's either you " " the file name or you put \ before the - | 21:20 |
| Niji | trism ty it worked :D and everyone else for their support ^^ | 21:20 |
| shihan | invalid argument is usually a bad thing, a "-" in the middle of a filename wont affect rm either | 21:21 |

| beandog | having a - doesn't affect it, *unles* it's at the start | 21:22 |

| Maksim | Is there a way to uninstall a .py file? | 21:22 |
| Maksim | setup.py | 21:22 |

| demonoid_com | in /dev/? | 21:24 |
| Sokel | alecb: If it's working, why does it matter? | 21:24 |
| shihan | "invalid argument" usually means there is a file system error or some bit of kernel code is possibly getting in your way (selinux, app armor etc)... either way you'll see logs somewhere or sometimes dmesg |tail might give you clues | 21:24 |

| Troy^ | sentryseven: xbmc would be for the front end portion, as media library (i.e. on HTPC) as for server i would use samba or nfs | 21:35 |
| jomplo | Will that add me to sudoer? | 21:35 |
| sentryseven | i have xbmc but my tv is a google tv how do i get my tv to play the videos on my computer | 21:35 |

| sentryseven | thank you for the advice | 21:36 |
| kunji1 | sentryseven: I really recommend just having the computer connected to the tv directly, but if that's not an option, then you need to stream somehow. If google tvs can act as UpnP clients, then yeah mediatomb is a great option | 21:37 |

| kunji1 | BlueWolf: Actually if I were you I would bother the folks in #sane for the scanner issue. You'll need to be patient on getting a response because there's not so many of them, but they're really the experts on sane. | 21:47 |

| yeats | j`ey: this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:49 |

| === romy420 is now known as coinandable | ||

| BlueWolf | szal: Ok then how do I acquire a proprietary driver | 22:01 |
| szal | BlueWolf: from Canon | 22:01 |
| ns-nazri | Bluewolf; old year i read it megazine "the isu canon printer and scanner" | 22:01 |
| BlueWolf | ns-nazri: I have just bought this printer or rather it was bought for me? | 22:01 |
| kunji1 | Bluewolf: ns-nazri may be working through a language barrier. The kernel is the core of operating system. Linux is technically the kernel. In a distribution like Ubuntu, there is the kernel (Linux), the GNU tools on top of that, and then lots of other things on top of that, lke X (the windowing system), etc.. | 22:02 |
| szal | Canon Europe webpage is down atm, but drivers should be available elsewhere as well | 22:02 |
| j`ey | shihan: no :P | 22:02 |

| j`ey | its arm7 | 22:02 |
| ns-nazri | Bluewolf; or maybe you must upgrade kernel or new vision | 22:03 |

| BlueWolf | :D | 22:05 |
| j`ey | compdoc: openssh-server | 22:05 |
| compdoc | then is should already be running | 22:06 |
| compdoc | it | 22:06 |
| j`ey | yeah it said "system start links for blah already exist" | 22:06 |
| shihan | yeah, in that case it should already be running as compdoc said... "ps -ef |grep sshd" just ot be sure | 22:06 |

| compdoc | j`ey, I'll I do is install openssh-server, and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to set PermitRootLogin no | 22:09 |
| compdoc | and it runs | 22:09 |
| shihan | j`ey, the problem with trying to dist upgrade it, ubuntu really has no clue how to upgrade the kernel in the process, so you'll need to figure it out while your doing it | 22:10 |
| derply | pepee: Nope, it just boots to a blinking underscore symbol. :-/ | 22:10 |
| j`ey | compdoc: cool | 22:10 |
| j`ey | shihan: I might leave it for another day | 22:10 |
| pepee | derply, are you sure the problem is grub? | 22:10 |
| BlueWolf | szal: I downloaded the drivers. But I will download this one and try it. Thank you :D | 22:11 |
| derply | pepee: I am not SURE it is with grub.. but it only happened after I expanded my main parition after deleting an old one.. so I assume it has something to do with the bootloader.. | 22:11 |
| pepee | also, tried deactivating the floppy drive and unplugging USB devices? | 22:11 |
| shihan | j`ey, is it running off sd, usb or internal nand? | 22:11 |

| j`ey | shihan: Im not sure tbh | 22:12 |
| j`ey | well, its not sd or usb | 22:12 |
| j`ey | so yes, probably internal flash | 22:12 |
| shihan | j`ey, oh, must be internal nand in that case... oh the joys of trying to upgrade those kernels | 22:12 |
| pepee | derply, can you paste files to pastebin? | 22:12 |
| derply | Sure.... | 22:12 |
| derply | pepee: What do you want? | 22:12 |
| shihan | j`ey, do you have a serial/usb console for it, does it us uboot? | 22:13 |
| derply | pepee: Actually, there does happen to be an error when I go to update grub.. let me try to replicate it quick. | 22:13 |
| BlueWolf | szal: Ok so I need to install them separately? | 22:13 |
| j`ey | shihan: I think it's uboot | 22:13 |
| shihan | j`ey if you can break the autoboot (usually 3 seconds on power up), trying "printenv" that should give you a clue as to how its booting... u-boot aint too bad | 22:14 |
| j`ey | what do you mean "break" the autoboot | 22:14 |
| shihan | j`ey, hit any key on the console | 22:14 |
| BlueWolf | szal: Ok now am I installing it right because I am extracting it and then running the .sh file in the terminal? | 22:14 |
| j`ey | shihan: ah | 22:15 |
| j`ey | shihan: well, it's on now :P | 22:15 |
| pepee | derply, I need the output from the 'lsblk' or 'fdisk -l' commands, and I need the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file | 22:15 |
| shihan | depending on the uboot it *might* even say "hit any key to stop autoboot:..." and count down from 3... if your lucky... some do not and require some special combo of keys... very irritating, im curious though, why so secretive about the hardware? | 22:15 |

| Sh0rtWave | Hi all | 22:21 |
| Sh0rtWave | quick question | 22:21 |
| Sh0rtWave | What's the simplest way to disable the very annoying "you must authenticate to install software" prompt? | 22:22 |
| szal | BlueWolf: either w/ dpkg or gdebi (commandline available; syntax is straightforward; refer to 'man gdebi' for details) | 22:22 |
| Sh0rtWave | IOW, I don't want it to ask me about installing software. Anywhere. | 22:22 |
| Sh0rtWave | not in X. Not in the terminal. | 22:22 |
| szal | BlueWolf: and your architecture you find out from 'uname -a' (i686/i386 = 32bit; x86_64 = 64bit) | 22:22 |
| BlueWolf | szal: I am sorry, I don't understand what you mean or what I am supposed to do :( | 22:22 |
| kevin | Sh0rtWave: uhmmm well you need to authenticate to sudo the install. only other way is to log in as root to x, which is highly not recommended | 22:23 |
| shihan | Sh0rtWave, you do realise your heading into "bad security" territory right | 22:23 |
| kevin | very very bad security | 22:23 |
| Mongey | Hey, does anyone know where I can access logs for Vino (Desktop sharing) | 22:24 |
| nexusguy59 | shaladore you around | 22:24 |
| shihan | there is a way to disable it, just wanna make sure you understand what your asking :) | 22:24 |
| Sh0rtWave | shihan: I know, and I don't care. | 22:24 |
| Mongey | Just had random person log into my machine and try to execute something ... | 22:25 |
| Sh0rtWave | shihan: I just want it disabled, because it annoys the life out of me. I know how to fix the terminal...I just need to know how to get that annoying "you must authenticate" window to get out of my face. | 22:25 |
| shihan | Sh0rtWave, k, basically follow this: http://my.opera.com/Viperstryker/blog/how-to-disable-sudo-password-prompts-on-ubuntu and you shall never be bothered again :) | 22:25 |
| szal | BlueWolf: iirc: gdebi install /path/to/package1.deb /path/to/package2.deb <- requires .debs to have been unpacked from the .tar.gz you downloaded & you to enter the correct path and filenames | 22:25 |
| szal | can't be too hard | 22:26 |
| pepee | derply, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#msdos-style_error_message | 22:26 |
| szal | BlueWolf: and just in case you didn't come to that conclusion yourself, prepend the command w/ 'sudo' | 22:27 |
| Sh0rtWave | shihan: Thank you for a clear, and non-condenscending answer. | 22:27 |
| Sh0rtWave | sudoers? | 22:27 |
| Sh0rtWave | That's it? | 22:27 |
| Sh0rtWave | That'll bypass the annoying window? | 22:27 |
| pepee | derply, btw, what livecd are you using? | 22:27 |
| derply | pepee: Yeah.. I am not in some sort of "vm" container... | 22:27 |
| derply | pepee: 12.04.1 | 22:27 |
| shihan | yep, just tell it never to prompt you and im pretty sure that'll deal with gksudo as well (what installers use) | 22:27 |
| Sh0rtWave | Oh well, life is good then. | 22:28 |
| Sh0rtWave | That's easy | 22:28 |
| OerHeks | Sh0rtWave, without sudo your system is less secure | 22:28 |
| BlueWolf | 22:28 | |
| BlueWolf | szal: I am truely sorry to be a pain but it may not be hard for you but I honestly have no clue what I am doing or how to do it? | 22:28 |
| BlueWolf | And the only command I know is sudo apt-get install. Ya I am that simple. I don't know linux much? | 22:28 |
| FloodBot1 | BlueWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:28 |
| pepee | derply, don't give attention to the vmware thing, read about the problem | 22:28 |
| shihan | Sh0rtWave, yes, as stated - its a highly unrecommended path | 22:28 |
| Sh0rtWave | Oerheks: I'm very well aware of that, thank you. | 22:29 |
| Sh0rtWave | OerHeks: I like my system how I like my system, I know I'm taking some purported risk, but I...really...don't...care. | 22:29 |
| szal | BlueWolf: apt-get has the disadvantage that it can't install from local files, so you have to use something else; I showed you one possible way | 22:29 |
| kevin | lol | 22:29 |
| szal | BlueWolf: I suppose you can do the path inserting yourself (I can't help you too much w/ that anyway since I don't know your filesystem and where you downloaded and unpacked the driver files to) | 22:30 |

| jrib | |Anthony|: sudo service lightdm start will start lightdm if don't have it starting on startup | 22:51 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, oh right, yeah im not entirely sure how you would achieve that, if its possible... at least form the keyboard/most pespective | 22:51 |
| BlueWolf | szal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205815/ | 22:51 |
| szal | BlueWolf: if that was it, then it's done | 22:51 |
| shihan | though its probably possible from the display perspective to start multiple lightdm's with different X configs for each monitor (though it would be very tricky) | 22:51 |
| |Anthony| | jrib, the lightdm service will still start on boot. but i should be able to launch additional login screens as seats become active | 22:52 |
| ElixirVitae | is there a way to check contents of a repository I added through terminal | 22:52 |
| ElixirVitae | I only can think of running commands with -s command | 22:52 |
| BlueWolf | 22:53 | |
| BlueWolf | szal: Ok then what else? | 22:53 |
| ElixirVitae | though it would not list all possible packages, I can use it to check individual ones | 22:53 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: I assumed there was no context to your question that started with "I just want to know" :) | 22:53 |
| |Anthony| | lol | 22:53 |
| |Anthony| | there is always a context. but sometimes that clouds the response. | 22:53 |
| szal | BlueWolf: though it seems to have installed only the 1st package.. try repeating the command w/ only the 2nd package name; if the output is largely the same, then it still needed to be installed (and subsequently did that) | 22:53 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: but I guess if I was in your shoes, I'd look at /etc/init/lightdm.conf , /etc/lightdm/* and its documentation | 22:54 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, it could actually be done from a display perspective... you can start multiple X servers and tie them to different displays... but how you then tie keyboard and mouse to each display... that would be very very tricky | 22:54 |
| ubuntu_noob | So Im building a new pc is it fairly easy to install ubuntu from a flash drive? | 22:54 |
| BlueWolf | szal: Ok let me give it a try :D | 22:54 |
| pepee | ElixirVitae, you can see the packages in the web browser and download the list | 22:54 |
| |Anthony| | jrib, simple case analog: launch lightdm on each VT, but manually as requested by a command | 22:54 |
| pepee | not sure how to do that over the command line | 22:54 |
| ElixirVitae | I want to see them within terminal, is it possible | 22:55 |
| szal | ubuntu_noob: shouldn't be any different than installing from CD | 22:55 |
| |Anthony| | shihan, i'm working on the device assignment aspect as well, but i need to be able to launch the login first and foremost | 22:55 |
| pepee | ElixirVitae, all of them? or some specific packages? | 22:55 |
| MonkeyDu1t | ubuntu_noob yes, use unetbootin to put the iso on pendrive, boot from the pendrive | 22:55 |
| ElixirVitae | under a repository | 22:55 |
| ElixirVitae | the case now is that after I run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:markjtully/ppa | 22:55 |
| ElixirVitae | I want to be able to see all of the available packages after update command | 22:56 |
| pepee | ElixirVitae, http://serverfault.com/questions/252333/list-all-packages-from-a-repository-in-ubuntu-debian | 22:56 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, well, if you get get the device assignment going, then you just "DISPLAY=:... lightdm" (then do alot of finger crossing | 22:56 |
| |Anthony| | jrib, i didn't know there was documentation for lightdm. All that i've seen have been terse. | 22:56 |
| MonkeyDu1t | ElixirVitae mind: a ppa is not officially supported | 22:56 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1041643 looks somewhat relevant | 22:56 |

| szal | ElixirVitae: almost | 22:58 |
| MonkeyDust | ElixirVitae type !ppa to find out | 22:58 |
| |Anthony| | jrib, that is along the lines, but it is launching ALL seats at startup. I'm looking for something that is on demand | 22:58 |
| pepee | ElixirVitae, it is a package manager, yeah. not the same though | 22:58 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, just did it | 22:58 |
| BlueWolf | szal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205831/ | 22:58 |
| |Anthony| | its a daemon, so it should be able to start logins dynamically, right? | 22:58 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: docs look pretty sparse yes... but there's a huge conf file with all the options in /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz if you have not seen it | 22:58 |
| ElixirVitae | If I were to check their status in launchpad and be satisfied with it, it is "generally" okay to download them though, no? | 22:59 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: is it possible to start multiple instances of lightdm with appropriate config file? | 22:59 |
| ElixirVitae | They eventually get included in offical repos, I suppose | 22:59 |
| yeats | ElixirVitae: not necessarily | 22:59 |
| ElixirVitae | oh, how come? | 22:59 |
| |Anthony| | jrib, that's the thing though, if all seats are enumerated in the config file, they will all attempt to launch on boot | 22:59 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: but you can setup multiple config files | 23:00 |
| szal | BlueWolf: hmmmmm.. | 23:00 |
| shihan | jrib, |Anthony| you can definitely start multiple lightdm's on a single host with different displays, thats definite | 23:00 |
| === bruno is now known as Guest24063 | ||
| yeats | ElixirVitae: it really depends on the PPA and who's running it | 23:00 |

| OerHeks | BlueWolf, sudo gdebi scangearmp-common_1.80-1_amd64.deb ( you forget .deb) | 23:01 |
| ElixirVitae | if the owner had a different understanding (bitchfit ;) ), they are not included/supported officially, I take it | 23:01 |
| |Anthony| | shihan, why would we need to start the whole lightdm daemon more than once? isn't the greeter just a part of it? for all intents and purposes, the greeter can be bypassed totally and just log the person into the defined session | 23:01 |
| andreb | hi all | 23:02 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, then lightdm isnt needed | 23:02 |
| szal | BlueWolf: sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-common_1.80-1_amd64.deb | 23:02 |
| szal | let's see what that spews out | 23:02 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| |Anthony| | shihan, no, i'm not saying for my use case. I was suggesting that the login screen is modular to the whole lightdm process | 23:02 |
| BlueWolf | OerHeks: szal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205837/ | 23:03 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, lightdm only really provides you a means of logging into a system... afaik, a single lightdm can only handle a single login process tho | 23:03 |
| |Anthony| | so how do i start the login screen, not a new instance of lightdm daemon | 23:03 |
| |Anthony| | oh | 23:03 |
| yeats | ElixirVitae: most packages come into ubuntu via Debian, so you might want to read up on their process for including packages | 23:03 |
| ElixirVitae | "grep ^Package: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_*_Packages" does exactly what I want, thanks pepee | 23:03 |
| pepee | |Anthony|, you can use kdm, xdm, gdm, ... | 23:03 |
| andreb | how can i change where my ubuntu 10.04 lts gets it updates from.. i am trying to update to 12.04 lts .. i get this "failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/dists/precise/universe/sources" | 23:03 |
| |Anthony| | man... why did ubuntu go with a display manager with such sparse documentation? | 23:04 |
| shihan | |Anthony|, if you already have a means of loggin in, you just go straight to a window manager | 23:04 |
| ElixirVitae | I saw some chart in wikipedia page I should check that out then | 23:04 |

| jrib | Jellyg00se: probaly the easiest way is to make a long playlist, set banshee to loop (and shuffle I guess for your game), then create a small bash script that sleeps 60 seconds and then makes banshee play the next song | 23:50 |
| andreb | jrib correct link for apt-cache policy update-manager-core : http://pastebin.com/8cEFi7tE | 23:50 |
| Jellyg00se | jrib sounds good to me, I just need it to play exactly on 60 seconds, was initially thinking sleep 60, or exec --<some kinda command> | 23:50 |
| Jellyg00se | jrib would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction for the bash script for banshee to play x song please? | 23:51 |
| blackshirt | skorket, maybe sometime you get different version | 23:51 |
| Jellyg00se | I did google it just FYI but not hard enough | 23:51 |
| jrib | Jellyg00se: something like: while true; do sleep 60; command_to_have_banshee_play_next_song_here; done | 23:51 |
| andreb | jrib : http://pastebin.com/cwbXXPre for teh contetnt | 23:51 |
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, I wouldn't just set sda5 as the controlling boot in the mbr form its desktop if you get grub 2 reinstalled and can boot to it. From the desktop of sda5 when fixed would be sudo grub-install /dev/sda5 tis puts sda5 in control of the boot, you can do the same with the reload of grub there with choosing sda as the destination of grub when asked in the chroot. | 23:51 |
| jrib | Jellyg00se: apparently "banshee --next" should have it play the next song | 23:52 |
| === AFKMunks is now known as chamunks | ||
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, sorry from the desktop no partition it is sudo grub-install /dev/sda my bad | 23:52 |
| Jellyg00se | jrib so you recon cron job -> sh drinking-game -> sleep 60 -> banshee --next in a play queue of 2? | 23:53 |
| jrib | andreb: so now when you do « sudo do-release-upgrade » what happens? | 23:53 |
| jrib | Jellyg00se: well using cron would work sure. Or you could just use the while loop I gave above. Not sure what you mean by "play queue of 2" | 23:53 |
| Jellyg00se | jrib well if using banshee --next, and I always want the same song to play | 23:54 |
| Jellyg00se | then queue of 2 would mean that after 60 seconds, it reverted. | 23:54 |
| andreb | jrib it starts then when it reaches a certain part "failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/dists/precise/universe/sources" | 23:54 |
| blackshirt | andreb, maybe better of you want upgrade, install it on minimal system | 23:54 |
| andreb | then : restoring to original state | 23:54 |
| andreb | and stops | 23:54 |
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, Here is a grub wiki that defaults to the chroot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot | 23:55 |
| blackshirt | andreb, change yours repository sourc | 23:55 |
| sharpy | wilee-nilee: Do I want to install grub to sda or sda5? | 23:55 |
| blackshirt | Sources | 23:55 |
| jrib | andreb: can you pastebin full output? | 23:55 |
| Areckx | I am having no route to host problems when tyring to SSH into my iPhone | 23:55 |
| jrib | Jellyg00se: oh I assumed your drinking game would have you drink depending on the song that came up and you had like 100s of possible songs | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, sda gives that os control of the boot sda5 all this from a chroot does not. | 23:55 |
| jenia | hello everyone. i have two version of python installed. 2.7 and the newest one | 23:55 |
| Areckx | I fixed it before on iphone side, but now it isn't working again, and reinstalling it like before on iphone side didn't work this time | 23:56 |
| jrib | jenia: ok | 23:56 |
| sharpy | wilee-nilee: So... I wand sda? | 23:56 |
| jenia | how can i install a python program and make it run on either the older or newer versions | 23:56 |
| jenia | older and* newer | 23:56 |
| sharpy | wilee-nilee: want* | 23:56 |
| jrib | jenia: what python program? | 23:56 |
| jenia | ipython | 23:56 |
| jenia | i installed in using easy_install ipyton.egg | 23:57 |
| jrib | jenia: ipython3 is in the repositories | 23:57 |
| jrib | (as is ipython) | 23:57 |
| jenia | so if i install it from the repo, it will install it for every python interpreter? | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, It depends I have to assume that sda5 still works with just a grub fix here, personally I would not trust that to be the case from here your choice. sda7 does work, you added it to fix sda5 to begin with it looks like, not really a way to do this. | 23:57 |
| andreb | jrib any ideas /?? i am still downloading the alternate disk | 23:57 |
| jrib | jenia: no. If you install ipython3, then you'll have it for python3. Then you can also install just "ipython" for your python2 | 23:58 |
| jrib | andreb: can you pastebin full output? | 23:58 |
| Areckx | okay, what is the deal with iPhone and ubuntu? When you first install, it hooks up through USB, I installed packages then it stops working that way | 23:58 |
| sharpy | wilee-nilee: So, between sda and sda5? | 23:58 |
| andreb | k i will try | 23:58 |
| Areckx | that would be fine, since I would just SSH, but then SSH stops working | 23:58 |
| jenia | jrib, what if i need both the 2.7 and newest version of python | 23:59 |
| jenia | and i want ipython installed for both | 23:59 |
| jenia | like to be able to run it using either | 23:59 |
| jrib | jenia: presumably by "newest version", you mean the python3 in the repositories, in which case I just answered your question. If you mean something else then say it | 23:59 |
