|---|---|---|
| wilee-nilee | sharpy, sda loads the mbr and gives the OS that is run in control of the boot, sda5 would not. If you are referring to the command I ran a correct on refrence this please, we are already way out on a limb in explaining this. | 00:00 |
| jenia | okay thanks. | 00:00 |
| jenia | now, i 'm running i python3 and it uses pyton 2.7 as its interpreter. ill try to uninstall it and re-install it to see if it'll use the 3.3 interpreter instead | 00:01 |

| Fernest | Ok | 00:18 |
| jrib | Fernest: note that sstan_at_home gave you an alternative | 00:18 |
| sstan_at_home | jrib: not as specific as yours ... but certainly valid, and potentially more useful | 00:19 |

| oren_ | Hey guys big problem here (hope you don't mind a lot of text) : I had dual booted Ubuntu and Linux before but my Windows partition got that new Java exploit trojan thing and it got completely trashed so I thought I'd try and reinstall windows, tried that but it didn't work at all (kept resetting itself as soon as it loaded windows) so I thought "bugger it, I'll just install Ubuntu as the only OS", so I got my usb key, loaded up | 00:24 |
| oren_ | ubuntu and reinstalled it over my old Ubuntu (which I could no longer get into because the windows installation ruined the grub thing) and it installed on my 350gb drive or whatever it was and all was fine for a while until I reset my computer and nothing loaded at all, until I booted from the same USB key that I had to install ubuntu. Now I can only load my ubuntu via that usb key (but! you might think that I installed it on the | 00:24 |
| oren_ | USB, but I obviously didn't because I remember reinstalling Ubuntu over my old existant ubuntu that I just could no longer get into because grub was dead and even when I take the key out, it's absolutely fine). What is going wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated | 00:24 |
| FloodBot1 | oren_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:24 |
| Fernest | sstan_at_home: ok I will. Although I will start learning with small things. Like "Run a certain python function in the current document of gedit" | 00:24 |

| oren_ | that doesn't help at all | 00:25 |
| jrib | oren_: try just restoring grub, though it's not clear what your situation is exactly | 00:25 |
| oren_ | I can only load my ubuntu via the usb key | 00:25 |
| jrib | oren_: so you've reinstalled grub to your hard drive? | 00:25 |
| oren_ | no | 00:26 |
| oren_ | I just want ubuntu as my sole OS | 00:26 |
| jrib | oren_: well that's what the first link tells you. | 00:26 |
| pepee | oren_, I think you installed grub on the USB drive. when you do that, the old grub install doesn't work anymore | 00:26 |
| burnt | hi, can I get some command line help? its probably pretty simple ... in a bash script, if the command line ... youtube-dl --get-title (url) gets a title of a youtube video ... how can I assign that to a variable | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | that boot-repair tool is very handy to have also. it can fix a lot of grub issues | 00:26 |
| Fernest | sstan_at_home: ok. finished :-D | 00:27 |
| oren_ | okay | 00:27 |
| oren_ | I'll try that guys | 00:27 |

| j`ey | is it possible to get a newer gcc on 9.04 *easily*? | 00:27 |
| pepee | oren_, make sure you are installing in the hard drive | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | burnt, You mean use a variable for 'URL' ? | 00:27 |
| Fernest | ups. typo | 00:27 |
| Fernest | f=${GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME%.py} a=`zenity --entry --title="Run Python Function - gedit" --text="Function to run"` python -c "import $f; $f.$a" | 00:27 |

| j`ey | I dont want to go through the hassle of doing that | 00:29 |
| Fernest | jrib: Thank you. I will look into it. Although I am not new to linux. Before today I never had enough time to experiment with all the stuff like bash scripts (I often used python to do the stuff which could be done with bash scripts, just because I had no time to learn the syntax) | 00:29 |
| j`ey | (at this point in time) | 00:29 |

| oren_ | wilee-nilee: I installed ubuntu to my hard drive (350gb) over my old ubuntu (apparently that's what the install said) but I can only run it when the USB live ubuntu thing is inserted | 00:30 |

| wilee-nilee | oren_, cool so from that install not a live cd open a terminal and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda then sudo update-grub yoiu should be able to boot from the HD then. | 00:38 |
| pepee | andreb, could you upgrade ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| oren_ | wilee-nilee, thanks man - Do you have any idea where the rest of my hd went though? | 00:39 |

| oren_ | is that in the repositories? | 00:39 |
| oren_ | ah apprently it is | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | oren_, yeah sudo apt-get install gparted looks like 320 gigs though as read | 00:40 |
| ryty | anyone recall the command to remove parentship of a terminal to a process started from that terminal? | 00:40 |
| oren_ | wilee-nilee, ah okay... I'll install gparted and see what I can do about this bad boy | 00:41 |
| wilee-nilee | oren_, cool have fun. ;) | 00:41 |
| oren_ | alrighty, lets look at this gparted thingo | 00:42 |
| oren_ | very interesting | 00:42 |
| oren_ | it just shows those ones that fdisk did | 00:43 |
| oren_ | but I know this HD is 500gb | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | oren_, you can take a screenshot of gparted and put it in a imagebin if you would like us to look at it. | 00:44 |
| oren_ | alright | 00:44 |
| jrib | ryty: disown | 00:44 |

| unless__ | Dr_willis, "Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list: " | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | they may have ppa instructions also. Ive not needed the vbox from their homepage in ages. | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | why do you need it? | 00:51 |
| wilee-nilee | drupin, a full install? | 00:52 |
| drupin | yes wilee-nilee | 00:52 |
| unless__ | Dr_willis, what do you mean? VB? | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | unless__, its in the repos last i looked.. | 00:52 |
| Rezzah | wilee-nilee, hey it's Oren here - it works! | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | drupin, I would make one partition for the OS one for swap if you need a swap. | 00:52 |
| Rezzah | thanks so much for your help | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | Rezzah, cool. | 00:52 |
| unless__ | Dr_willis, yes, it is but not updated. | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | the extension pack is about the only extra thing i needed. | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem Rezzah | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | unless__, so what newer feature does it have that you need? | 00:53 |
| drupin | wilee-nilee: and boot? | 00:53 |
| Rezzah | wilee-nilee, much much appreciated | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | drupin, boot will go to the mbr. | 00:53 |
| drupin | ok wilee-nilee so i dont keep a seperate /boot partion .. what is good swap size | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | drupin, YOu want to do a manual something other install make sure grub is pointed at the usb like sdb etc whatever it is no partitions for grub. | 00:54 |
| unless__ | Dr_willis, good question. | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | drupin, if using suspend/sleep = about the size of ram + a littlebit is common. | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | drupin, The swap normally is equal to the ram if you want to hibernate, what is your ram and do you need a hibernate? | 00:55 |
| drupin | dr_jesus_: wilee-nilee: hibernate ya means keep idle | 00:56 |
| drupin | ohh that the reason current install is freezing now... swap is now 1GB and ram is 2.5GB | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | suspend does not y=use the swap I believe only hibernate, which I think now has to be turned on. | 00:57 |
| Dr_willis | I got less then 10 sec boot times. :) i dont use any of them. | 00:57 |
| drupin | my current install crashes if too much apps loaded | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_willis, you left out the nah nah nah nah nah | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis | swap=ram is a safe bet. if you have 'just' 2.5 gb of ram.. you may want 3gb of swap | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis | Its amuseing when the POST testing takes longer then the OS booting | 00:58 |
| drupin | will then 5 GB good for the rest of OS | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | 5gb for / ? thats way tiny. | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | perhaps doable.. but i wouldent think you would get much work done | 00:59 |
| drupin | coz flash drive is 8GB | 00:59 |
| unless__ | Is it possible to download Ubuntu using wget command? | 01:00 |
| blackshirt | it was enought if other part reside on another partition | 01:00 |
| blackshirt | Unless, yes | 01:00 |
| jagginess | unless__, is it possible to walk on water? :) | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | You can put swap file or partion on a hard disk on the internal drives. :) | 01:00 |
| unless__ | blackshirt, and how do I figure the URL ? | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | or a seperate USB | 01:00 |
| drupin | unless__: there is pozilla better than wget to resume also and it splits files also | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | drupin, picked up a 32gb usb flash just today on sale for $20 | 01:01 |
| unless__ | jagginess, well, haven't minded over it, right? | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | unless, you can copy link address from ubuntu iso | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | And pass it to wget | 01:01 |
| jagginess | drupin, if you load alot of apps in memory and your system freezes. Try running a memory test. | 01:01 |
| unless__ | drupin, where do I find more info about it? | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | Unless_ i have doing that more than twice | 01:02 |
| drupin | i never did that jagginess but i went the recovery mode so many times | 01:02 |
| jagginess | drupin, well if you never done that, then I guess everybody says something not worthy :).. SO TRY IT :) | 01:02 |
| VinnyAtaide | hey, is this the place recommended for resolving ubuntu instalation problems? | 01:02 |
| MonkeyDust | VinnyAtaide yes | 01:03 |
| VinnyAtaide | okay, can I just type it here? it`s pretty simple | 01:03 |
| VinnyAtaide | I've just installed windows, it took all my HD (600gb) so I've shrinked 100gb for linux, but my ubuntu instalation isn't recognizing | 01:04 |
| VinnyAtaide | It says that I dont have any SO installed | 01:04 |
| wilee-nilee | VinnyAtaide, can you boot to anything? | 01:05 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, um.. i hope you used a simple gui tool to shrink your partitions, like gparted live cd.. | 01:05 |
| VinnyAtaide | Yeah I boot windows normally | 01:05 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, well you must of chosen the option of using the whole drive for ubuntu | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | VinnyAtaide, is that 100gb partion unallocated? or in a ntfs filesystem? | 01:05 |
| tao | hi, all https websites are not working for me, bank, fb, etc please help | 01:05 |
| tao | i am using wifi connection | 01:05 |
| drupin | unless__: a min | 01:05 |
| VinnyAtaide | I've used the windows built-in partition manager | 01:05 |
| unless__ | drupin, ok | 01:05 |
| ryty | tao, which browser? | 01:06 |
| VinnyAtaide | its unnalocated | 01:06 |
| tao | ryty, fire fox | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | VinnyAtaide, use the custome/somthing else item in the installer to delete that 100gb partion and partion it how you want. | 01:06 |
| wilee-nilee | VinnyAtaide, you resized ubuntu with the windows partitioner? | 01:06 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, when you use-> fdisk -l<enter> does it say "loopback" anywhere? | 01:06 |
| ryty | tao, when you say not working, what do you mean exactly? | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | VinnyAtaide, also be sure you dont have more then the 4 primary partions limitation | 01:06 |
| VinnyAtaide | I've installed windows first, so I've used the windows built-in partition manager to shrink 100gb from my HD | 01:07 |
| VinnyAtaide | What's strange is that Ubuntu doesn't even recognize the windows at all, it's just a big 600gb partition | 01:07 |
| VinnyAtaide | ok | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | fdisk -l information may shed some light on it | 01:07 |
| MonkeyDust | VinnyAtaide are you now in windows or in a ubuntu live session? | 01:07 |
| VinnyAtaide | ubuntu live session | 01:07 |
| drupin | unless__: http://ashu-geek.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-install-prozilla-download.html | 01:08 |
| tao | ryty, for example when i try to go to https://www.chase.com, i get the prompt, firefox can't establish a connection to server at www.chase.com | 01:08 |
| blackshirt | vinnyataide, i think you shouldn,t format shrinked partition | 01:08 |
| unless__ | drupin, reading. Thank you. | 01:08 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, wubi? | 01:08 |
| MonkeyDust | VinnyAtaide type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit andd paste the url here | 01:08 |
| drupin | unless__: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/10/install-prozilla-download-accelerator.html | 01:08 |
| * jagginess thinks VinnyAtaide is using wubi. | 01:09 | |
| Dr_willis | you did boot the cd? or what exactly VinnyAtaide ? | 01:09 |
| VinnyAtaide | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205976/ | 01:09 |
| VinnyAtaide | I've booted from my usb driver | 01:10 |
| VinnyAtaide | using unetbootin | 01:10 |
| wilee-nilee | the ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net drupin is only supported up to oneric | 01:10 |
| drupin | ok | 01:10 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, so you ran the ubuntu installer before from the windows desktop or from cd? | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | /dev/sda2 206848 1039132671 519462912 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT is not unallocated. ;) | 01:11 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, it's normal to have linux installers running from fat32 | 01:11 |
| VinnyAtaide | I had Xubuntu before I deleted all my data to put windows | 01:11 |
| jagginess | um.. ok VinnyAtaide boy | 01:11 |
| jagginess | !xubuntu | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 01:11 |

| derekv | anyway to finish booting if i'm in initramfs shell due to wrong root uuid | 01:13 |

| drupin | unless__: http://ashu-geek.blogspot.in/2012/05/prozilla-download-accelerator-and-apt.html | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | derekv, just reinstall grub or use suprgrub to get in and fix it. | 01:15 |

| derekv | I did resintall grub but it copied a in a config from a different machine | 01:16 |
| derekv | bah i'll just reboot | 01:16 |
| derekv | just wondered if there was a way to fix it from inside ash | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | derekv, you can manual boot yes. | 01:16 |
| VinnyAtaide | nobody is answering on xubuntu channel... | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | !grub2 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 01:16 |

| jnix | hey guys.. anyone particularly good with grub2? | 01:21 |
| bekor | hi friends, using ubuntu 12.04 i have gnome classic as well as ubuntu standard desktop environments recently my windows effects stopped working after a update it seems compiz works, everything but windows effects like magic lamp for example. but everything works fine with the ubuntu unity environment i would rather have all the effects working on gmome classic because i hate unity. any advice? | 01:22 |
| wilee-nilee | jnix, many are ask your question | 01:22 |
| jnix | i've cloned my OS disk to the 2nd hard disk in my server. installed lvm2, and redid the partitions and copied the os back over to the newly created lvm.. now i can't get it to boot! | 01:22 |
| blackshirt | jnix, just ask here,someone with respectable capability would try to help you | 01:22 |
| jnix | is there something special i have to do to get grub2 to boot from lvm? | 01:22 |
| unless__ | drupin, I can find jigdo and zsync at repositories. | 01:22 |
| jnix | i'm not using the uuid in grub.cfg, using the /dev/mapper node for mountpoint | 01:22 |
| unless__ | drupin, what do you mean with tey it? | 01:23 |
| drupin | unless__: i never use it though found this morning only | 01:23 |
| jnix | i'm just trying to boot into the lvm container now, once i get that i'll get grub2 sorted | 01:23 |
| unless__ | drupin, I also like the idea of torrent format. | 01:24 |
| jnix | im a RHEL guy, but ubuntu has better openstack support.... | 01:24 |
| drupin | yes | 01:24 |
| blackshirt | jnix, you were right | 01:24 |
| blackshirt | Debian too | 01:24 |
| jnix | course i intend to use rhel vm's but.. :P | 01:25 |

| blackshirt | asgoo1, what the problems | 01:26 |
| MK` | Is there a command to list all folders I am sharing over a network? | 01:26 |
| drupin | is there any way i can remove the swap and merge in main partition | 01:28 |
| sankey | ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso <-- is that a liveCD? It's certainly a CD (700MB), but does it have a live environment? | 01:28 |
| drupin | try unless__ | 01:28 |
| blackshirt | sankey, usually that was live cd | 01:29 |
| MK` | drupin, you can repartition your drive, yes | 01:29 |
| jnix | ha! did a chroot, ran update-grub and it fixed itself | 01:29 |
| drupin | MK`: how? | 01:30 |
| jnix | well, thanks anyway! :D appreciate it nonetheless | 01:30 |
| drupin | will i need go to live mode again MK` | 01:30 |

| === MISS is now known as Pendor | ||
| MK` | in any event you should be able to merge it with the partition after it, just make sure to back up that partition | 01:35 |

| drupin | point me any article MK` | 01:36 |

| drupin | i used it the swap was 1 Gb i reduced it to 500 MB to merge in main partition | 01:38 |

| VinnyPotter | ops | 01:40 |
| === stringlau is now known as dancing_bananas | ||
| === VinnyPotter is now known as VinnyAtaide | ||
| MK` | drupin you'd need to repartition the whole drive, you can't really move an extended partition around, it'd be a bit risky. | 01:41 |

| wilee-nilee | dancing_bananas, can you fix your client to stay with nine nick. | 01:41 |

| bin_bash | Hi there. I have a Crapbook Pro 8,1 and it says on the website that the Thunderbolt port "won't work" | 01:45 |
| bin_bash | but that's not true | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | 'on the website' meaning...... | 01:45 |
| bin_bash | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | if its a wiki page. you can correct/change things.. it maybe for older releases | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | theres also a ubuntu docs channel i belive | 01:46 |
| bin_bash | It's not a wiki page | 01:46 |
| bin_bash | But the information is incorrect no matter what version you're using. | 01:46 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: It says, "You can contribute to this wiki, see Wiki Guide for details" | 01:47 |
| bin_bash | Well I'm not going to explain how it works | 01:48 |
| bin_bash | I just wanted to tell you it was wrong | 01:48 |
| bin_bash | I don't even use Ewbuntu | 01:48 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: What DO you use? | 01:48 |
| bin_bash | Arch | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | etch-a-sketch? ;) | 01:48 |
| usr13 | Ok, I'm lost.... | 01:48 |
| bin_bash | Already? | 01:48 |
| bin_bash | That was quick. | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | maybe you could change the wiki to say crapbook | 01:49 |
| bin_bash | Not everyone thinks Apple is shit | 01:49 |
| usr13 | wilee-nilee: excellent | 01:49 |
| bin_bash | It might be offensive to some of the hipsters in here. | 01:49 |
| TorpedoSkyline | <3 Apple | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | no just your rhetoric is all | 01:50 |
| bin_bash | TorpedoSkyline, your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. | 01:50 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: certainly not me. (I was being facetious.) | 01:51 |
| * TorpedoSkyline shanks bin_bash with a paper towel holder. | 01:51 | |
| bin_bash | usr13, you asked me what I was using. I said "Arch". | 01:51 |
| bin_bash | What is so confusing about that | 01:51 |
| TorpedoSkyline | Arch is like so 1979. | 01:52 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: This is the #ubuntu channel. | 01:52 |
| bin_bash | TorpedoSkyline, what | 01:52 |
| bin_bash | usr13, I came in here to correct your data. | 01:52 |
| TorpedoSkyline | no one in here wants to deal with an OS you have to piece together to run. | 01:52 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: Usually, people here are discussing ubuntu systems. | 01:52 |
| TorpedoSkyline | bleh. | 01:52 |
| zester1 | Isn't this a support channel? Shouldn't we I don't know...... Talking about support related stuff and not apple bs? | 01:52 |
| usr13 | bin_bash: It is not my data. | 01:52 |
| TorpedoSkyline | zester1 we should be. | 01:52 |
| TorpedoSkyline | Take this to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 01:52 |
| ratcheer | TorpedoSkyline: +1 | 01:53 |
| bin_bash | zester1, it /is/ a support issue because someoe might come in quoting that page and you all will cling to it like some kind of bible | 01:53 |
| moxie | or #ubuntu-losers | 01:53 |
| bin_bash | and it's blatantly incorrect. | 01:53 |
| bin_bash | I use the thunderbolt port to output to my LCD TV | 01:53 |
| jrib | bin_bash: and you're on natty? | 01:54 |
| TorpedoSkyline | bin_bash then change it and contribute to society.. stop complaining. xD | 01:54 |
| TorpedoSkyline | jrib, no Arch. | 01:54 |
| jrib | TorpedoSkyline: ... | 01:54 |
| TorpedoSkyline | ikr | 01:54 |
| usr13 | jrib: He is not a Ubuntu user. | 01:54 |
| bin_bash | jrib, it doesn't matter what I'm using, because it's a kernel issue and it was updated with the 3.4 kernel | 01:54 |
| jrib | bin_bash: verify it works on the *natty* version of ubuntu (which doesn't have 3.4 iirc), then feel free to fix the page. Not sure what else you expect here. This channel is for ubuntu support. | 01:55 |
| bin_bash | jrib, there's literally no reason that apt-get update shouldn't update the kernel | 01:55 |
| bin_bash | and if it doesn't | 01:55 |
| Celso | Hi there! Does sommeone has a bug on the ubuntu 12.04.1 on the left bar that isn't showing the app name when we put the mouse on top of the icon? | 01:55 |
| bin_bash | then your distro is bad and you should feel bad. | 01:55 |
| jrib | !sru | bin_bash | 01:55 |
| ubottu | bin_bash: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | we all feel bad for you bin_bash. | 01:55 |
| jrib | bin_bash: thanks for your opinion. Do you have an ubuntu support issue we can help you with? | 01:55 |
| TorpedoSkyline | bin_bash. Thank you for the information. Your job of notifying the Ubuntu community is complete. | 01:56 |
| bkc_ | bin_bash: stop bitching... you're giving Arch-users a bad reputation! -.- | 01:56 |
| zester1 | I just don't want to see any more fighting ;) I see enough of it other places. | 01:56 |
| * wilee-nilee loves the ignore | 01:56 | |
| TorpedoSkyline | loser. | 01:56 |
| Celso | Does sommeone has a bug on ubuntu 12.04.1 on the left bar that isn't showing the app name when we put the mouse on top of the icon? | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | Celso, just a few apps or all apps? | 01:57 |
| Celso | almost all but its random | 01:58 |
| zester1 | Celso: What graphics card and driver are you using? Intel, Ati, Nvidia. OSS or Binary Blob? | 01:58 |
| delinquentme | cp is the copy/paste command ja??? | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | Celso, ive not heard anyone else mention it. was wondering if it was just Java apps. :) | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | delinquentme, cp copies.. | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | delinquentme, man cp for details of it. | 01:59 |
| Celso | with the intel 3000HD card and intel i3 processor | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | paste - is more of a 'move/rename' operation. | 01:59 |
| zester1 | Do they flicker? | 01:59 |
| Celso | hum... weird.... | 01:59 |
| Celso | nope | 01:59 |
| Celso | if i put the mouse, sometimes it shows, sometimes not.... | 02:00 |
| Celso | but with the 2D version i am not having it | 02:00 |
| Celso | anny problem | 02:00 |
| zester1 | Try upgrading your ubuntu, sounds like a bug with compositing. | 02:01 |
| Celso | i am using ubuntu 12.04.1 full updated | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Celso, You might try resetting the unity desktop, have you tweaked it in any way? | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | test with a newly made user. | 02:02 |
| Celso | nop. just installed the pc, and installed the updates and the language. nothing more. | 02:02 |
| Celso | maybe something related to a bug on language pack? | 02:03 |
| zester1 | No that wouldnt be it. | 02:04 |
| zester1 | Its more than likely a bug in unity's compiz. I have no idea why they choose that as a foundation for unity it has always been extreamly buggy. | 02:05 |
| Celso | showld i report it? | 02:07 |
| zester1 | Yes I would | 02:07 |
| VinnyAtaide | hello, it's me again, sorry for bothering you guys for so long | 02:07 |
| Celso | ok. i will report it. | 02:07 |
| Celso | thanks for the help | 02:08 |
| zester1 | Sorry we could be more help ;) | 02:08 |
| VinnyAtaide | I have a screenshot from my windows partition manager showing all my partitions. I hope this way the situation could be better for me. I don't wanna delete my windows files | 02:08 |
| zester1 | could = couldn't | 02:08 |
| Celso | no problem | 02:08 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, well backup your stuff.. cuse the xubuntu installer is not something i ever tried (you should try #xubuntu if you're using xubuntu) | 02:09 |
| Celso | i was searching for this bug but didn't find anything so, i was wondering if anyone here would hear something about it | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | VinnyAtaide, the windows partitioner will leave out actual partitions, you want to post a gparted view here. | 02:09 |
| Celso | or experienced the same bug | 02:09 |
| zester1 | I have experanced it before. | 02:09 |
| VinnyAtaide | I'm not using Xubuntu, xubuntu was before I formatted with windows | 02:09 |
| jagginess | VinnyAtaide, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:09 |
| Celso | really? | 02:09 |
| usr13 | jagginess: It is not different from the Ubuntu installer. | 02:09 |
| zester1 | A few times I just switched to using a differant window manager. | 02:10 |
| jagginess | usr13, maybe, but I never used it. | 02:10 |
| VinnyAtaide | yeah, ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu share the same installer | 02:10 |
| VinnyAtaide | http://i.imgur.com/dyBXN.png | 02:10 |
| Celso | and how you got it fixed? | 02:10 |
| VinnyAtaide | can you see the link that I've posted? | 02:11 |
| zester1 | Ummm I bought a Nvidia card and used the binary drivers from nvidia or you could try a differant wndow manager like xfwin | 02:11 |
| Gycklarn | When I use apt-get upgrade, are my nvidia drivers updated as well? I never thought about it until now. | 02:12 |
| zester1 | VinnyAtaide: How do you propose your going to backup 400+GB of data? | 02:12 |
| zester1 | Yes | 02:12 |
| blackshirt | gycklarn, no,you should reinstall nvidia driver again | 02:13 |
| VinnyAtaide | I would, but it's funky, thanks guys I'll learn by myself and if I find the answer I'll post here =) | 02:13 |
| zester1 | No one here installed when you upgrade if there is an avalable update its installed. | 02:13 |
| allan_ | Hi, I has installed Xubuntu on my PC but I Like Ubuntu Desktop | 02:14 |
| zester1 | blackshirt: What makes you think you have to re-install NV drivers when you update. I | 02:14 |
| usr13 | allan_: install ubuntu-desktop | 02:15 |
| allan_ | How I can Install the Ubuntu Desktop? | 02:15 |
| zester1 | Download normal ubuntu would be the easyest way. | 02:15 |
| chrisward | Running apt-get upgrade on x64 ubuntu, and a few packages are being held back and no reason is provided anyone know how to fix/isn't a problem? Apt output: http://pastebin.com/FBxeMKCy | 02:15 |
| Celso | ok. i will report it. thanks guys! | 02:15 |
| jagginess | allan_, you mean um unity? | 02:15 |
| allan_ | Ubuntu Desktop or GNome, What is the best? | 02:15 |
| jagginess | allan_, again here with ya man.. I have no idea if unity is on xubuntu!!!!! | 02:15 |
| VinnyAtaide | xubuntu have xfce | 02:16 |
| usr13 | jagginess: Sure it is. The repos are same. | 02:16 |
| allan_ | yes Xubuntu have Xfce,but I like Ubuntu Desktop | 02:16 |
| allan_ | My PC no support PAE | 02:16 |
| zester1 | allan: Try both and you decided it comes down to preferance there is no one is better than the other. | 02:16 |
| wilee-nilee | allan_, Here is a lionk for removing xubuntu and installing unity. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu | 02:16 |
| wilee-nilee | link* | 02:16 |
| allan_ | I hate Xfce,Lde and Kde | 02:17 |
| wilee-nilee | allan_, check the release is the same if you use it. | 02:17 |
| allan_ | is ugly | 02:17 |
| usr13 | xfce4 rocks! | 02:17 |
| VinnyAtaide | allan_ xfce is fast and clean, unity is slow"er" and prettier, and have some accesibility advantage | 02:17 |
| zester1 | There all ugly ;) | 02:17 |
| allan_ | 12.04 Xubuntu x64 | 02:17 |

| allan_ | What is the best for me?: Unity or Gnome Desktops? | 02:19 |
| VinnyAtaide | the best way is just reinstall ubuntu, if you install ubuntu on xubuntu you're gonna have a bad time with the many options of softwares that do the same thing (my opinion =p) | 02:20 |

| OerHeks | VinnyAtaide, the installer does not see windows files. | 02:28 |
| zester1 | It should detect that window is installed. | 02:28 |
| allan_ | thanks for the link | 02:28 |
| VinnyAtaide | I mean not the files, just the partition, it should have the option to install next to windows | 02:28 |

| zester1 | VinnyAtaide: Correct it should. | 02:29 |

| zester1 | Vinny: Try restarting the ubuntu install cd can act funny sometimes. | 02:30 |
| OerHeks | VinnyAtaide, then is must be something else, like your Sata hdd is set in the bios to IDE mode. change it to AHCI | 02:30 |

| zester1 | morgan: You dont 2D unity is discontinued do to a bunch of problems | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | morgan, 2d is already there in a dropdown at login, you can't just remove the 3d. | 02:31 |
| morgan | i tried that, I don't see the 2d | 02:31 |
| zester1 | I wouldnt do it ;) Trust me its even worse than 3D | 02:32 |

| lotuspsychje | Nullzero-laptop_:did you install broadcom drivers correclty? | 03:05 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | There are no drivers installed at all, I don't know which ones to use because it doesn't show up in lspci | 03:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Nullzero-laptop_:try the additional drivers section, or software centre or synaptics | 03:07 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | All I know is that this laptop normally uses a broadcom wireless card | 03:07 |
| miraj | must not count as pci, maybe it counts as pcmcia or cardbus? | 03:07 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | any way I can find out? | 03:07 |
| miraj | pcmciautils | 03:07 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | command not found, not part of the standard install? | 03:08 |
| miraj | I thought it was a standard package | 03:08 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | yeah it says its installed | 03:09 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | found it lspcmcia | 03:12 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | no output | 03:12 |
| miraj | sorry, it was just an idea | 03:12 |
| bekor | hi using ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic. some how compiz not fully functional somehow, windows animations not working anymore | 03:13 |
| xkill | somehow | 03:13 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | so that's basically where I am at. If i had anything in lspci i'm pretty sure I would have had this working, but since its not in there at all I'm out of ideas | 03:14 |
| bkc_ | Nullzero-laptop_: tried lsusb? | 03:15 |
| miraj | has anyne else with that model got it working with any distro of linux? | 03:15 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | bkc hub and camera | 03:15 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | yes, from what i'm reading in the forums everyone else has a broadcom wireless adapter | 03:16 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | and then they just have to install the correct drivers | 03:16 |
| xkill | ndis wrapper? | 03:16 |
| miraj | you said the wireless had a physical switch? | 03:17 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | Only one thread I saw had someone without anythign in his lspci output and there was no solution on that one | 03:17 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | yep | 03:17 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | first thing I checked was to make sure it was in the on position | 03:17 |
| miraj | what happens if you jiggle the switch a little? | 03:17 |
| xkill | is the card PnP compliant? is this a super old card? is the cardbus? is the laptop ancient? | 03:18 |
| Fernest | not a question about ubuntu, but does one know, why I can't send messages to channels like #python and #c++ ? | 03:18 |
| xkill | are you registered and identified? | 03:19 |

| Nullzero-laptop_ | laptop isn't ancient, like I said there are a lot of threads with people having driver issues on this laptop but they just needed to correct their drivers, all of them had the card show up in the lspci and it was a broadcom | 03:19 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | I've cycled the physical switch a few times to see if that was the issue | 03:20 |
| miraj | is there any chance the power-saving controls has it turned off? | 03:21 |
| drupin | i am now on the persistence live system | 03:21 |
| peepsalot | bkc_, i don't see anything related in /etc/udev/rules.d | 03:21 |
| drupin | i can keep using this? | 03:21 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | hmm let me check miraj | 03:21 |
| Nullzero-laptop_ | i would have thought even if that were the case it would still see it on the bus | 03:22 |
| bkc_ | peepsalot: nothing there because you havn't put anything there... defaults and so on... | 03:22 |
| peepsalot | bkc_, rhythmbox automatically opens up, i don't want it to | 03:22 |
| peepsalot | also nautilus, i don't want anything to open automatically | 03:22 |
| peepsalot | i actually uninstalled rhytmbox thinking that would stop it. now vlc opens up | 03:23 |
| bkc_ | peepsalot: that has nothing to do with udev... it's default applications | 03:23 |

| bitbarron | My Mozilla Thunderbird has started to become unresponsive when I start it up in Ubuntu. How can I troubleshoot this problem? | 03:23 |

| Nullzero-laptop_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206115/ | 03:25 |
| bitbarron | miraj, When I open it, it immediately "hangs", and when I try to quit by clicking the "x", it says it is not responding and asks if I desire to "force quit" | 03:25 |
| xkill | drupin: you can not re-use disk space. deleting files just gets them out of your face but you dont regain the space | 03:26 |
| zester1 | OMG have you seen the new Redmond Linux Distro!!!!!!! | 03:26 |
| wilee-nilee | bitbarron, try opening it with the terminal running thunderbird and look for errors | 03:26 |
| miraj | Nullzero-laptop_ : don't know, it's a mystery. If you have any wifi pc-cards, you could use one of them | 03:26 |
| bitbarron | miraj, by "hangs", I mean I cannot navigate around the user interface of the program such as move from one email to another, or even open the menus | 03:27 |
| xkill | it works till you run out of disk space | 03:27 |

| xkill | it is very simple to over come the 4GB filesystem limit. use a linux partitioner to partition the drive into a 2GB FAT16 partition and a second ext2 partition as large as you like labeled "casper" (or "live-rw" if it is debian) | 03:29 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: hm, doesnt seem to do it, and I hit refresh after | 03:29 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: Is it in the GUI anywhere? | 03:29 |
| miraj | bitbarron : something must have got corrupted, maybe a virus. mozilla products are bad for that. | 03:29 |

| bitbarron | miraj, Really? Well, what you say is what it seems likely. I didn't know viruses took hold on mozilla distros running on linux | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | miraj, mozilla products are bad for what? | 03:31 |
| drupin | xkill: plz i need article on it | 03:31 |
| xkill | corruption | 03:31 |
| bkc_ | wilee-nilee: memory-leaks... it has more holes than a swiss cheese ... | 03:31 |
| miraj | mozilla products can be corrupted with specially crafted xml files | 03:32 |
| bitbarron | wilee-nilee, By purge, you simply mean uninstall and reinstall, correct? | 03:32 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: huh I just installed this and it's 1.91.0 | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | bitbarron, sudo apt-get purge thunderbird then reinstall | 03:33 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: note, that I said <alt>+<dot> as in the key between / and , :) | 03:33 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: I'm also assuming you're talking about K3b, the cd/dvd-burner app in KDE :) | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | memory leaks possibly a xml crafted unlikely | 03:33 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: I missed the dot! | 03:34 |
| bitbarron | wilee-nilee, Since I am running Thunderbird as IMAP, my emails should all be uneffected, correct? | 03:34 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: ;) | 03:34 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: that works just fine, thanks! | 03:34 |
| bkc_ | np :) | 03:34 |
| bitbarron | wilee-nilee, By that I mean, I am not deleating all my prior emails. | 03:34 |
| Nautilus__ | wish I could set it as default | 03:34 |
| wilee-nilee | bitbarron, AS long as they are on the original server no | 03:34 |
| bitbarron | wilee-nilee, I think that is the case. It's gmail. | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | bitbarron, I have university address used this way myself. | 03:35 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: poor default-value actually :) | 03:35 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: nah, if it's off I won't know if I missed something | 03:36 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: also... that value is remembered for that directory by the KDE framework... just so you know ;) | 03:37 |
| miraj | it could be gmail's fault, bad network packets causing tbird to lockup | 03:37 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: just the one tho? ugh | 03:37 |
| bkc_ | yes | 03:38 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: now I have a symbolic link warning and don't know what to do...4 options :( | 03:38 |
| bkc_ | it's awesome actually :) | 03:38 |
| bkc_ | xD | 03:38 |
| morgan | what can I do to make the desktop less laggy? D: | 03:38 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: you probably want to copy the files then :) | 03:38 |
| bkc_ | morgan: what graphicscard are you using? | 03:38 |
| blackshirt | morgan, disable some desktop effects | 03:38 |
| morgan | nvidia gtx 460 | 03:39 |
| morgan | i7 930 @ 4.2 ghz | 03:39 |
| bkc_ | what driver? nouvoue or nvidia? | 03:39 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: "Add link to project", I think? | 03:39 |
| bkc_ | morgan: (open source or propeitary) | 03:39 |
| xkill | dupin; http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ | 03:39 |
| morgan | proprietary | 03:40 |
| blackshirt | i thinks, nvidia user gets more trouble compared to intel or ati one | 03:40 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: I'm guesing not... that will keep it as a link... | 03:40 |
| morgan | bkc_, the recommended one | 03:40 |
| bkc_ | morgan: then turn of a few (or many) desktop effects... | 03:40 |
| morgan | bkc_, ok I'll try that. where/how do I do that please? | 03:40 |
| bkc_ | blackshirt: because Ubuntu havn't up'ed the driver-version yet to >302 -.- | 03:41 |
| bkc_ | >304* | 03:41 |
| blackshirt | morgan, maybe related to compiz effect | 03:41 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: Options: "Follow link now" then? Actually I just have 2 choices, then rest of the 4 add "Always" to the action | 03:41 |
| blackshirt | bkc_ you are right | 03:41 |
| morgan | I'd like to turn off all effects etc | 03:41 |
| bkc_ | morgan: I'm guessing you're using unity? then I have no idea :/ | 03:41 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: yes, that one :) | 03:42 |
| morgan | correct | 03:42 |
| blackshirt | morgan, maybe better and test them step by step | 03:42 |
| bkc_ | I'd turn of compiz entirely then, if you're not gonna use it anyway :) | 03:42 |
| Pedrolito | I'm trying to enable the html 5 mode in youtube, but youtube claims that the firefox 15 in ubuntu doesn't have WebM. Is that correct? | 03:42 |
| blackshirt | i mean,add some effect step by step | 03:42 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: Thanks! Looks like it's going now | 03:42 |
| morgan | i dono what compiz is D: how do I turn it off and on to see the difference | 03:42 |

| morgan | btw I've been windows user for last 10 years, I've been on Ubunutu for about 5 days now | 03:43 |
| Pedrolito | bkc, does that mean that the html 5 mode should work without any modifications? | 03:43 |
| bkc_ | morgan: try this in a terminal: metacity --replace | 03:44 |
| blackshirt | morgan, forf firts time using, you should familiarize your new environment :d | 03:44 |
| bkc_ | Pedrolito: yes | 03:44 |

| morgan | gnome* | 03:44 |
| xangua | morgan: bkc_ if you don't want to use compiz log out and select unity 2d in the little ubuntu icon next to your username | 03:45 |
| wilee-nilee | xangua, good catch I saw that and said what? | 03:45 |
| morgan | I don't see unity 2d | 03:45 |
| bkc_ | morgan: I'd goto http://wiki.ubuntu.org and http://help.ubuntu.org and pay good attention at the Beginners-section :) | 03:45 |

| blackshirt | morgan what version ubuntu are yoy | 03:46 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: I had trouble getting the YouTube player embedded on a page as HTML5, is that what you're doing? Have a good reference URL? | 03:46 |
| blackshirt | morgan what version ubuntu are you usi ng? | 03:46 |

| blackshirt | Morgan, then you arw using unity desktop | 03:46 |
| Pedrolito | Nautilus__, yes, I'm trying to have youtube play the videos in html 5 mode, but it doesn't work, I always get the flash mode | 03:47 |
| morgan | I'm looking in synaptic and unity 2d is not installed | 03:47 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: that was my problem :( | 03:47 |
| Pedrolito | Nautilus__, how did you fix it? | 03:47 |
| morgan | is unity like gnome? or they are different? | 03:47 |
| wilee-nilee | bkc_, unity is a plugin in compiz. | 03:47 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: I haven't. And it's not just firefox | 03:47 |
| blackshirt | morgan, they are different thing | 03:47 |
| bkc_ | Pedrolito: actually, html5 is only available to a sub-section of all videos... try another one :) | 03:48 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: really? maaaan | 03:48 |
| bkc_ | wilee-nilee: ooh... didn't know that... stoped using ubuntu when they switched to unity ^^ | 03:48 |
| wilee-nilee | bkc_, hehe I used it for awhile. ;) | 03:49 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: Pedrolito: however they pop the number by a few thousand each day :) | 03:49 |
| bkc_ | wilee-nilee: I said "s**** this, I'm moving to KDE..." and then "s**** this, I'm moving to Arch" ^^ | 03:49 |

| miraj | morgan, you can try other window managers in ubuntu | 03:50 |
| xangua | !language | bkc_ | 03:50 |
| ubottu | bkc_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:50 |
| morgan | miraj, which would you say is the 'lightest' | 03:50 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: guess why youtube are moving towards html5 & webm :) | 03:50 |
| bkc_ | xangua: hence the censuring... | 03:50 |
| xkill | xfce | 03:51 |
| miraj | morgan, the absolute lightest windows manager would be twm, but you probably wouldn't want to use it | 03:51 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: thanks, I've been wondering about that for months | 03:51 |
| bkc_ | xangua: or were you refering to Arch ;) | 03:51 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: we may be out of luck until YT does their thing | 03:51 |
| miraj | morgan, somewhere in the middle are compromise solutions, like xfce or afterstep | 03:52 |
| morgan | oh I think I tried xfce in xubuntu and hated it, it was super choppy and laggy for me | 03:52 |
| Pedrolito | bkc_, you're right, I found a video which allows to use the html5 player, and it's working fine | 03:52 |
| bkc_ | :) | 03:52 |
| miraj | morgan, don't know what xfce would be choppy and laggy, ubless you've got hw problems. it's got no eye candy extras really | 03:53 |
| bkc_ | morgan: how can xfce be laggy and unity not? ... that is physically impossible... | 03:53 |
| xkill | xfce on ubuntu w/ USB flash 4 hard drive = smooth and nice (weird thing though, other laptop that is 10 years older, runs faster. faster USB flashdrive maybe?) | 03:53 |
| Nautilus__ | is there a way to tell which ones work, without embedding them one by one? Some field on the YT page for the video? | 03:53 |
| nexusguy59 | you around shaladore? | 03:54 |
| morgan | I dono but video and stuff etc was super choppy | 03:54 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: not to my knowledge no... havn't looked into it :) | 03:54 |
| jamesw | what is overhead of an encrypted home folder? i see my home folder taking up as much space as th e encrypted version, is it as simple as that, the price is that you have to have an encrypted copy of everything? or am i misreading? | 03:54 |
| Pedrolito | morgan, xfce is super smooth for me, it makes my netbook usable, unity was wayyyyyy to slow | 03:55 |
| bkc_ | morgan: bad configuration then... or just not installed the correct nvidia-driver :) | 03:55 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: what specific YT video did you fid that does HTML5, and how did you find it? | 03:55 |
| Nautilus__ | find* | 03:55 |
| xkill | the overhead depends on the encryption strength and if it's padded | 03:55 |
| Pedrolito | Nautilus__, I search for the 'html5' keyword in youtube, and the first video I tried used the html5 mode | 03:55 |
| xkill | what alg? | 03:56 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: ok, heh | 03:56 |
| morgan | everything was default | 03:56 |
| Pedrolito | Nautilus__, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzPxo7Y6JyA to be specific | 03:56 |
| Nautilus__ | ty! | 03:56 |
| bkc_ | morgan: then there's your problem... you need to install the nvidia-driver :) | 03:57 |
| morgan | that was definitely installed | 03:57 |
| xkill | thats like bitching about progman or explorer when you where running on standard vga driver | 03:57 |
| jamesw | xkill how can i find the alg? | 03:58 |
| morgan | I'm not that noob D: | 03:58 |
| machiolat | what does it mean if i'm superuser and yet an .sh script won't run, i.e. permission denied | 03:59 |
| jamesw | whatever was default alg xkill | 03:59 |
| machiolat | i've tried su, su sudo, sudo | 03:59 |
| machiolat | changed permissions and everything and still get permission denied | 03:59 |
| xkill | then it would be very small international 56bit non padded encryption | 03:59 |
| WeThePeople | machiolat, try sudo i | 03:59 |
| WeThePeople | sudo -i | 03:59 |
| Nautilus__ | Pedrolito: Interesting, I'm on that video's YT page and it's embedded via flash. I wonder if they show Flash by default if the browser supports both? (I'm in FF). bkc_: any thoughts there? | 04:00 |
| xkill | idk what ubuntu uses by default but i assume its about as easy to crack as wep | 04:00 |
| machiolat | with sudo -i it says no such file or directory now? wtf... | 04:00 |
| machiolat | madness | 04:01 |
| machiolat | after telling me permissoin denied for a hundred other things | 04:01 |
| WeThePeople | machiolat, reset terminal and type sudo -i | 04:01 |
| bkc_ | Nautilus__: If you're in the beta-program for html5 then no, it should default to html5/webm and revert to flash if and only if the video isn't converted to webm yet... | 04:02 |
| machiolat | -bash: ./Fritzing: No such file or directory | 04:02 |
| machiolat | again | 04:02 |
| machiolat | and yet, there it is | 04:02 |
| WeThePeople | sudo -i isnt a file or dir. | 04:02 |
| bkc_ | machiolat: paste the output of "ls -alF" | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | You are spelling it right? ;) | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | case matters. | 04:03 |
| Pedrolito | Nautilus, maybe you're using an extension that changes your user agent string. That is my case, and I had to make it send my real user agent to youtube for html5 to work | 04:04 |
| machiolat | http://bpaste.net/show/xrZrqxSC3Sghz3d8eYwS/ | 04:04 |
| machiolat | yeah i'm using Tab, so it's spelling it for me | 04:04 |
| Dr_willis | machiolat, try 'file thatfilename' | 04:04 |
| Dr_willis | if its a 32bit binary.. and you are on a 64bit os... | 04:04 |
| Nautilus__ | bkc_: 10-4, thanks _again_ | 04:05 |
| Dr_willis | or visa-versa | 04:05 |
| bkc_ | Pedrolito: has nothing to do with user-agent... it's a javascript-thingy that checks for html5-support | 04:05 |
| machiolat | this is the 64 bit package, but ok... let me check | 04:05 |
| machiolat | and i've tried with the 32 as well | 04:05 |
| machiolat | same issues | 04:05 |
| Pedrolito | bkc, I'm just saying that on my firefox, I'm not getting the html 5 if I block my user agent | 04:05 |
| machiolat | Fritzing: POSIX shell script text executable | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | also you said it was a 'sh' script. so whats the first few lines.. the #!/bin/whatever lines | 04:06 |
| bkc_ | machiolat: and you do have the #!/bin/bash line at the top... right... | 04:06 |
| bkc_ | and not just #!/bash... | 04:06 |
| WeThePeople | machiolat, you cd into a dir. >> | 04:06 |
| WeThePeople | fritzing-0.7.7b.linux.AMD64 | 04:06 |
| Pedrolito | so maybe Nautilus has some kind of interfering extension such as noscript or the like | 04:06 |
| machiolat | contents of the actual script http://bpaste.net/show/rbNd7vFLP0W5f384ZkVf/ | 04:07 |
| bkc_ | machiolat: change the first line to #!/bin/bash instead... | 04:07 |
| machiolat | ok | 04:07 |
| bekor | compiz windows animations not working any suggestions? | 04:07 |
| bkc_ | also... what does that script accomplish? o.O | 04:07 |
| Dr_willis | ive also seen where you get weird messages like this when your bash script encoding/end of lines get messed up with the dos encoding.. | 04:07 |
| bkc_ | ^ true | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | had a script once someone edited in notepad.exe that got extra cr/lfs on the end. | 04:08 |
| bkc_ | and a break-line at the end of the file :) | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | took us forever to figure it out. | 04:08 |
| bkc_ | hexedit <3 | 04:08 |
| xkill | its not a windows fs is it? | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | I think 'geany' and 'fte' can also show the whitespace/eol characters | 04:08 |
| WeThePeople | bekor, do you know how to access compiz gui | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | night all. | 04:09 |
| bkc_ | xkill: has nothing to do with fs... | 04:09 |

| david | in this command what does gnome represent. Someone else told me sudo apt-get install gnome-shell so I am a little confuse | 04:29 |
| WeThePeople | ip no work in linux | 04:29 |
| m4k4r0n3 | Correct. i go to the install ubuntu-desktop | 04:29 |
| m4k4r0n3 | and now, i very happy. hAhaehea | 04:29 |
| jessers | bkc_ ok let me try it | 04:29 |
| jessers | Thanks | 04:29 |
| bkc_ | WeThePeople: it does... ip addr show, ip link etc... | 04:30 |
| WeThePeople | ipconfig | 04:30 |
| bkc_ | WeThePeople: wasn't referring to ipconfig... -.- | 04:30 |
| WeThePeople | yeah i know | 04:30 |
| MeXTuX | I'm trying to build a C++ code and link it against /usr/lib/libmysqlpp.so but always get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibmysqlpp error I'm using -L /usr/lib -llibmysqlpp does this have something to do with ldconfig? | 04:30 |
| bkc_ | ifconfig is depricated and should be killed with fire imho... | 04:30 |
| xkill | david; "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" will download and install the Gnome window manager (Ubuntu uses the Unity window manager by default) | 04:31 |
| sin_tax | Janos, basically, I have multiple drives (3 now, more later) with a similar /media structure. So disk 01 might have /media/television/show_a and disk 02 might have /media/television/show_b and I would like to have a 'concatenated / aggregated' /media share that shows both subfolders from disk 01 and 02... Otherwise I have to guess which disk (or sub-share if I do a /allmedia share which has all my disks in it) the content is on... | 04:31 |
| bkc_ | MeXTuX: it's -lmysqlpp | 04:31 |
| bkc_ | sin_tax: glhf ^^ | 04:31 |
| david | so I want to try gnome 3. which command do I use | 04:32 |
| david | ? | 04:32 |
| xkill | press the Tab key to show your options | 04:32 |
| bkc_ | david: is it installed? | 04:32 |
| m4k4r0n3 | thanks guy!! | 04:32 |
| sin_tax | Thanks bkc_ ^__^; It seems greyhole is close to what I want but I don't care about redundancy | 04:32 |
| xkill | Tab key autocompletes or presents options | 04:32 |
| david | how can I check? | 04:32 |
| david | im on Ubuntu 12.04 | 04:33 |
| bkc_ | david: sudo apt-get install gnome | 04:33 |
| bkc_ | it should either install it, or tell you it's already installed | 04:33 |
| xkill | in that shell while you are typing the command gnome- | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | bkc_ I got this | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | o command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean: | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe) | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main) | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main) | 04:33 |
| jessers_ | ipconfig: command not found | 04:33 |
| Janos | sin_tax, raid0 or raid5 might be more what you need | 04:33 |
| m4k4r0n3 | gnome is better what unity? | 04:33 |
| bkc_ | david: if it's already installed you can select it at the login-screen :) | 04:34 |

| WeThePeople | lol | 04:34 |
| jessers_ | No signs of wlan0 , yet I am connected wirelessly | 04:34 |
| jessers_ | Sorry | 04:34 |
| sin_tax | Janos, yeah, that would do it but I have a fear of catastrophic data loss in the case of losing some drives in a RAID array. And it is difficult to grow the array by adding drives with some RAID solutions. Thanks for you help though | 04:35 |
| bkc_ | anything more than 2 lines... paste it on a pastebin-service -.- | 04:35 |
| WeThePeople | jessers_, use paste.ubuntu.com | 04:35 |
| WeThePeople | no flood bots, hmm | 04:35 |
| bkc_ | jessers_: it's there... eth1 | 04:35 |
| jessers_ | cool! thanks bkc_ | 04:36 |
| bkc_ | jessers_: iwconfig should tell you the same... | 04:36 |
| jessers_ | iwconfig output this : lo no wireless extensions. | 04:36 |
| Pinkamena_D | hi guys | 04:36 |
| jessers_ | I have a network adapter and a wireless network adapter | 04:37 |
| bkc_ | jessers_: iwconfig should also say something about eth0 and eth1... | 04:37 |
| MeXTuX | bkc_: thank you | 04:37 |
| bkc_ | Pinkamena_D: o/ | 04:37 |
| bkc_ | MeXTuX: np | 04:37 |
| jessers_ | I'm connected wirelessly though : / | 04:37 |
| Janos | sin_tax, all linux raid solutions are easy to grow, and if you are worried about data loss, the more reason to use a raid configuration, just make sure you don't use raid 0 for that | 04:37 |
| M4k4r0n3 | Hi... | 04:37 |
| M4k4r0n3 | Im back using Unity. | 04:38 |
| M4k4r0n3 | who? | 04:38 |
| sin_tax | Janos, is it possible to create an array (using mdadm or whatever) without obliterating the data already on the drives? | 04:39 |
| Janos | sin_tax, yes sir | 04:39 |
| M4k4r0n3 | whats better language of programation: php or python? | 04:39 |
| xkill | #web | 04:39 |
| jessers_ | Does anyone know if there a way for UBUNTU to download and install the drivers for my wireless adapter through terminal? | 04:39 |
| bkc_ | M4k4r0n3: not related to ubuntu | 04:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | i know the chances anyone has done this here are rather slim, but anyway, i am trying to install halo (the first one) on ubuntu. I got wineinstalled and followed the online guides fully. I have seen some other people are having the same problem i am, but no one seems sto have found a solution for them | 04:40 |
| bkc_ | jessers_: not that I know of | 04:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | the problem is that after you start the programs and the intro videos pass, you can hear the background muchs but its just a black screen | 04:40 |
| Janos | sin_tax, also, i don't know what software do you use to play your media, but i know that xbmc can create a library to which you can just add file system paths and it will scan them, every now and then for changes, this keeps everything in one place even if you have files all over the file system | 04:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | i am guessing only some people have it because its something with the video driver or video card | 04:40 |
| bkc_ | Pinkamena_D: you need to install DX-support through winetricks | 04:41 |
| Janos | sin_tax, i'm pretty sure other media players have this functionality | 04:41 |
| bkc_ | and select it in winecfg | 04:41 |
| jessers_ | It is weird it all started after I partitioned my HDD for a dual-boot with Ubuntu \ Windows | 04:41 |
| M4k4r0n3 | guys | 04:41 |
| sin_tax | Janos, I use Plex, which does the same, but I have been having some issues with it so was looking for a fall-back plan that just allows me to browse media via a samba share | 04:41 |
| M4k4r0n3 | i want to program in python on Ubuntu | 04:41 |
| M4k4r0n3 | anyone know any really good IDE? | 04:41 |
| joejack | wifi not connecting. ifconfig shows only inet6 address but no intet addr does that help to debug the problem? | 04:41 |
| bkc_ | M4k4r0n3: sudo apt-get install python | 04:41 |
| M4k4r0n3 | python 3.2? | 04:42 |
| glassresistor | have this weird problem with bluetooth headset in 10.04 but can't think of a way to google for it | 04:42 |
| Pinkamena_D | do you know where that "dx support" option is located offhand? | 04:42 |
| bkc_ | M4k4r0n3: yes | 04:42 |
| M4k4r0n3 | thanks | 04:42 |
| jessers_ | joejack i f you do ifconfig on terminal do you see a wlan listing? | 04:42 |
| Janos | sin_tax, well then you have at least 3 options, raid, fix your current media player or get a new one that :) | 04:43 |
| bkc_ | Pinkamena_D: not of the top of my head no, but it's under install programs... give me a sec and I'll have a look | 04:43 |
| xkill | sudo apt-get install bluefish | 04:43 |
| M4k4r0n3 | how to respond like you? | 04:43 |
| joejack | yeah wlan0 that is the listing that is not showing a inet addr just an inet6 addr | 04:43 |
| glassresistor | basically whenever I switch the program using sound saw going from hulu to youtube or just changing pages or changing the sound/movie im watching the A2DP high fedelity sound stars clipping and sounding bad.. | 04:44 |
| joejack | jessers_ that comment was for you | 04:44 |
| sin_tax | Janos, thanks again =] | 04:44 |
| bkc_ | joejack: the inet6-address is probably the default address... | 04:44 |
| glassresistor | ... but if i toggle to hsp then back to a2dp it works great | 04:44 |
| jessers_ | Try this joejack go to Terminal & type : dhclient eth0 | 04:44 |
| glassresistor | anyone have any ideas? i've noticed similar problems with multicast and pulse audio | 04:45 |
| jessers_ | It is the same as ipconfig/ renew in Windows OS | 04:46 |
| jessers_ | Did it work? | 04:46 |
| Janos | sin_tax, just one piece of advice, if you decide to go with raid, try to simulate the procedure on a VM first, wrong step here and you loose you data :P | 04:46 |
| joejack | jessers_ it came back operation not permitted | 04:46 |
| bkc_ | Pinkamena_D: winetricks -> Select the default wine-prefix -> Install a Windows DLL or component -> dx<something> | 04:46 |
| glassresistor | so bluetooth audio works but i have to toggle the sound between each track change, any ideas? | 04:46 |
| jessers_ | Try it as root | 04:46 |
| jessers_ | sudo dhclient eth0 | 04:46 |
| Pinkamena_D | thank you very much, i will try it out now | 04:47 |
| joejack | ok true haha | 04:47 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| joejack | jessers_ it seems to be just hanging now | 04:48 |
| glassresistor | its it pulseaudio or the bluetooth drivers I should be looking at? | 04:48 |
| joejack | yeah jessers_ that command is just hanging | 04:49 |
| zed_ | hi I am using kubuntu 12.04 on this laptop and >I am having problems with the wireless | 04:49 |
| jessers_ | So it did not renew your address | 04:49 |
| zed_ | there is no network manager app on the taskbar, and I can't find it in the menus | 04:49 |
| jessers_ | Hi zed_ | 04:49 |
| zed_ | hey jessers_ | 04:49 |
| jessers_ | Welcome to the club!! LOL | 04:49 |
| zed_ | why is this a common problem ? | 04:50 |
| zed_ | there is no icon or app anywhere for accessing the net | 04:50 |
| joejack | jessers_ no ifconfig still only shows an inet6 addr for wlan0 | 04:50 |
| vkas | does anybody have an idea about this weird problem - 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 - even on the login screen. screenshot of the whole screen also omits the area | 04:50 |
| jessers_ | I don't know man...my netbook was working fine and I connect wirelessly yet my wireless adapter doesn't show up on terminal | 04:50 |
| Pinkamena_D | theirs a whole bunch of d3dx9 and d3dx10 ones | 04:51 |
| jessers_ | ok hang on joejack | 04:51 |
| joejack | aight | 04:51 |
| Pinkamena_D | ill start with a generic dx9... | 04:51 |
| jessers_ | zed_ so if you are already connected to a network all you need is a browser, correct? | 04:52 |
| jessers_ | joejack , let's try flushing your DNS cache | 04:53 |
| jessers_ | type this on terminal : /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart | 04:53 |
| glassresistor | is anyone using bluetooth headsets without the problem? | 04:53 |
| joejack | jessers_ it says no such file or directory | 04:56 |
| joejack | jessers_ what now | 04:58 |
| jessers_ | I'm searching | 04:59 |
| jessers_ | joejack try this : sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start | 05:01 |
| joejack | ok | 05:02 |
| jessers_ | So nothing seems to happen but we cleared your DNS cache | 05:03 |
| jessers_ | Now try restarting your wireless adapter, porfavor | 05:03 |
| joejack | jessers_ ok did the command and still nothing | 05:04 |
| Janos | joejack, sorry, what's the issue again ? | 05:04 |

| kermoo | hey guys | 05:31 |
| nydel | anyone here use vimprobable? | 05:32 |
| ankur | what's that | 05:32 |
| nydel | ankur: it's a vi improved editor-like web browser | 05:32 |
| nydel | http://www.vimprobable.org | 05:32 |
| ankur | nydel, lemme see | 05:32 |
| IdleOne | thank you | 05:33 |
| ankur | nydel, you know shell scripting? | 05:33 |
| daklan | that bot sure was annoying | 05:33 |
| nydel | ankur: sh, bash, lush, a bit of csh, lisp, perl, php | 05:33 |
| random777 | Anyone here use a Steelseries sensie mouse? | 05:33 |
| nydel | ankur: lisp & bash mostly | 05:34 |
| zed_ | Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 | 05:34 |
| zed_ | can't get that to work | 05:34 |
| ankur | nydel, why are you using vimprobable? O.o | 05:35 |
| nydel | zed_: what can't you get to work exactly? | 05:35 |
| bkc_ | wifi-card | 05:35 |
| zed_ | nydel: well I have kubuntu 12.04 installed. and | 05:35 |
| zed_ | the network app doesn't give me the option to enable wirelesss | 05:35 |
| zed_ | its greyed out | 05:35 |
| daklan | driver not loaded? | 05:35 |
| zed_ | hardware drivers shows nothing | 05:35 |
| nydel | ankur: i look at a lot of textual websites and am on a minimal kick right now. it's actually a really great browser, vimprobable is. much faster than any other browser i've used. | 05:36 |
| zed_ | not sure where to get the drivers from i guess i have to manually install them from the manufacturers website ? | 05:36 |
| ankur | nydel, yeah if you're reading text then it's great. | 05:36 |
| luckysmack | anyone know how I can fix apt-get in 12.04 ? my router crashed when installing java, and now i cant install or recover apt-get. http://bpaste.net/show/6JksJM2aZVpv6dgyN9zT/ | 05:37 |
| nydel | zed_: that's really unfortunate, i'm sorry to hear that didn't work automatically. you'll have to install the drivers, are you able to find them? | 05:37 |
| daklan | zed_: should be supported out of box, it seems. what does lspci say about it? | 05:37 |
| ankur | nydel, but then when it comes to multimedia it would suck | 05:37 |
| bkc_ | nydel: what's the difference between vimprobable and say luakit? :) | 05:37 |
| ankur | luckysmack, try reopening your terminal | 05:38 |
| zed_ | 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) | 05:38 |
| daklan | luckysmack: tried "apt-get install -f"? | 05:38 |
| ankur | luckysmack, it usually works for me | 05:38 |
| nydel | ankur: i really dislike how multimedia www/http has become. i miss the old days. i wanna meet with my friends on a telnet bbs or shell, not facebook. ideas, not identity. | 05:38 |
| daklan | zed_: so the kernel recognizes it. Try lsmod|grep iwlagn | 05:38 |
| nydel | bkc_: i know vimprobable is built on lua.. i'm not sure how to answer your question in full | 05:39 |
| zed_ | daklan: absolutely no output from that command | 05:39 |
| bkc_ | nydel: luakit is the same, just that all config-files are written in lua... also all plugins/whatnot :) | 05:39 |
| daklan | zed_: modprobe iwlagn | 05:39 |
| luckysmack | daklan: yea tried that. did some stiff but didnt work. | 05:39 |
| daklan | you'd need sudo privileges for that, zed_ | 05:39 |
| zed_ | daklan: nothing | 05:39 |
| ankur | nydel, haha i don't think that's gonna happen. | 05:39 |
| zed_ | \ahhh | 05:39 |
| zed_ | \brb | 05:39 |
| luckysmack | ankur: something that simple seems to have worked... | 05:40 |
| daklan | luckysmack: what errors are you getting? | 05:40 |
| TheMinimalist | What is the difference between the Minimal CD and the regular 12.04 LTS if the Minimal CD will still result in a 5GB install? I ask because I'll be getting a netbook ( 1.6GHz processor dual-core, 1GB RAM ) and am looking for the smallest install and memory footprint | 05:40 |
| nydel | ankur: it will! you'll see! (i don't even believe me) | 05:40 |
| zed_ | daklan: nothing | 05:40 |
| ankur | luckysmack, haha i know :D | 05:40 |
| zed_ | no output | 05:40 |
| nydel | bkc_: i never learned anything about lua. should i? | 05:40 |
| bkc_ | TheMinimalist: If you want small... don't go for ubuntu... | 05:40 |
| ankur | nydel, let us hope soo. I hate multimedia taking too long to load up :P | 05:40 |
| daklan | zed_: try lsmod|grep iwlagn again | 05:40 |
| bkc_ | nydel: yes, it's a nice language :) | 05:40 |
| zed_ | daklan: sudo ? | 05:41 |
| luckysmack | daklan: i pasted them in my link. but closing and reopening the terminal after those were run, seems to have fixed it. | 05:41 |
| daklan | zed_: nope | 05:41 |
| daklan | luckysmack: good! :) | 05:41 |
| zed_ | daklan: nothing no output | 05:41 |
| nydel | ankur: and 99.(loop for i from 0 to (get-universal-time) do (format t "9")% of the media is crap | 05:41 |
| TheMinimalist | bkc_: What would you personally recommend then? Ubuntu seems amazing for a server ( 500MB total install? ) but seems bloated for a desktop ( 5GB? ) | 05:41 |
| daklan | zed_: interesting | 05:41 |
| zed_ | daklan: http://pastebin.com/Re3R6H1x | 05:41 |
| ankur | nydel, didn't understand a word :\ not much of a geek | 05:42 |
| nydel | ankur: 99.99999999% of the media that takes so long to load is crap | 05:42 |
| bkc_ | TheMinimalist: I'd recommend xubuntu, if at all ubuntu... | 05:42 |
| ankur | nydel hahaha true that | 05:42 |
| TheMinimalist | bkc_ May I PM you? | 05:42 |
| bkc_ | TheMinimalist: sure | 05:42 |
| nydel | bkc_: nice for what, or, what sort of programming do you do? is lua easy to use for gui? | 05:43 |
| bkc_ | nydel: lua is something you use for embedded scripting... not as a separate program :) | 05:43 |
| ankur | guys i want to create my own operating system as my final year engineering project, i'm clueless from where to start. Any ideas? | 05:43 |
| daklan | zed_: sudo modprobe iwl4965 | 05:43 |
| bkc_ | ankur: GLHF, you'll need it ^^ | 05:43 |
| nydel | ankur: do you use any of the popular web servers, like facébook, twiddler etc | 05:43 |
| zed_ | daklan: nothing | 05:44 |
| zed_ | remmber this is kde | 05:44 |
| daklan | zed_: then look it up using lsmod. If no output, you may need to Google exactly what package provides that module | 05:44 |
| daklan | zed_: won't matter if it's kde. looks like you're just missing the driver | 05:44 |
| nydel | bkc_: could it be useful for collecting a program written in different scripting languages? | 05:44 |
| nydel | bkc_: often i write a portion in lisp & a portion in ba/sh or perl, my methods of combining them are messy | 05:45 |
| daklan | zed_: i wonder if the shipped kernel includes that module. It may not | 05:45 |
| zed_ | daklan: yeah I don't know | 05:45 |
| daklan | zed_: sorry, which version are you running? | 05:46 |
| pupil | hello everyone, my x server is error | 05:48 |

| Janos | zed_, i think the module for that card is iwlwifi, try sudo 'modprobe iwlwifi' | 05:48 |

| drupin | how i remove this | 05:50 |
| Rootbrian | there seems to be an issue with Cheese. It just will not start at all. All I get is it crashing all the time and I'm curious as to when a fix will be released soon. | 05:50 |
| thufir_ | I'm using DAR to create DVD backup slices. How large should the slices be? There's a slight problem with large files: http://askubuntu.com/questions/187954/dar-slice-size-for-dvds because ISO 9660 doesn't allow for large files. I'm looking for the most space efficient slice size. | 05:50 |
| dax | drupin: check in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* for a duplicate entry that looks like that | 05:50 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: just use split and cat :/ | 05:50 |
| drupin | ok dax a min | 05:51 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: heh. wow, that sounds quite painful. it's just that everytime I do the arithmetic to minimize wasted DVD space, it's either too large or too small. | 05:52 |
| bkc_ | how hard can it be? just divide the files into parts that together completely fills up a DVD :/ | 05:53 |
| ankur | bkc_, you mean the magazine? | 05:53 |
| ankur | nydel, i use fb twitter g+ | 05:53 |
| nydel | cool i'm running awesomewm for the first time | 05:53 |
| ankur | nydel, helps me stay connected and updated | 05:53 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: I'm not sure that you understand my question, thank you, though. | 05:53 |
| bkc_ | ankur: magazine? o.O | 05:54 |
| ankur | bkc_, what's glhf? | 05:54 |
| nydel | ankur: me too, but i don't like any of them. they don't help me stay connected or updated at all. if anything they create distance between myself & friends i might make an effort to see (& vise versa) if these social bits didn't exist | 05:55 |
| Rootbrian | I'm using gnome-fallback. Usually I have gnome-panel running within fluxbox. It's just brilliant. No need for compiz. | 05:55 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: I think I do... you can't put files bigger than 2GB on an iso9660-fs, so you have to split the files to be less than 2GB but at the same time use al available space on the disk... | 05:55 |
| bkc_ | ankur: Good Luck, Have Fun | 05:55 |
| phyrexianslug | GLHF -> Good Luck, High Five | 05:55 |
| luckysmack | ankur: ok maybe it didnt work. | 05:55 |
| ankur | bkc_, haha, tq | 05:55 |
| ankur | luckysmack, what didn't work | 05:55 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: correct? | 05:56 |
| luckysmack | it will download and attempt to install a package, then beore it finishes, it wil tell me: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 05:56 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: yes, that's the problem. 1024MB perhaps? | 05:56 |
| ankur | nydel, it surely makes you lazy and not get you to meet them, but then everything has it's pros and cons | 05:56 |
| nydel | of course, yeah, you're right ankur | 05:56 |
| luckysmack | `sudo dpkg --configure -a' will again try to install them, but give the same error. | 05:56 |
| nydel | brb switchign back to cinnamon | 05:57 |
| ankur | luckysmack, umm are you on live session or what? | 05:57 |
| luckysmack | nope | 05:57 |
| === user___ is now known as rootbrian | ||
| bkc_ | thufir_: how is 1024*4 4.7? that would be 4GB... you have to divide them at a npot value... 1604MB would almost completely fill each DVD... | 05:57 |
| rootbrian | figured the /name command didn't work in chatzilla. | 05:57 |
| ankur | luckysmack, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642173 | 05:58 |
| daklan | luckysmack: try to uninstall the package that's causing the issue (using -f) | 05:58 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: actually, just remembered that most DVDs are only 4.5GB, so that would be 1536MB / splice | 05:58 |
| luckysmack | i get: E: Could not get lock /var/lock/aptitude - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 05:58 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: I'd go for 1500, to be on the same side :) | 05:58 |
| ankur | anyone here aware of shell scripting and stuff? | 05:59 |
| daklan | luckysmack: you have a stale aptitude process | 05:59 |
| Janos | ankur, i know about stuff :) | 05:59 |
| ankur | daklan, yeah that can be the case, luckysmack are you using software centre to maybe download or maybe ubuntu is updating | 05:59 |
| daklan | luckysmack: look for any aptitude processes using ps | 05:59 |
| daklan | luckysmack: then kill that sucker :) | 06:00 |
| luckysmack | the only thing i have been using is terminal and chrome | 06:00 |
| ankur | Janos, i wanted to make an operating system for my final year engineering project i don't know where to start | 06:00 |
| hfic | !lock | 06:00 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: ok, thanks | 06:00 |
| ankur | Janos, mind tipping? | 06:00 |
| Janos | ankur, at the beginning ? :P | 06:01 |
| ankur | Janos, yeah and where is that? :P | 06:01 |
| luckysmack | ankur: in regards to the link you sent me :http://bpaste.net/show/PPj4IUPs7jNlG680XiuX/ | 06:02 |
| hfic | if ur having issues with /var/lock why don't u just delete the file from lock? | 06:03 |
| thufir_ | if you leave out the -p flag for DAR (Disk ARchive), and the hard drive fills up, will DAR pause and prompt you to remove files, press enter, and then continue after user input? Or, is it not quite that smart? | 06:04 |
| daklan | luckysmack: some proc is using that config.dat. lsof|grep <whatever> file and see if that process is something that should be running | 06:05 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: I've never used DAR... I use dd, split and cat | 06:05 |
| luckysmack | i tried killing aptitude and its still shows up with ps. not doing it right? I tried 'sudo killall aptitude' and 'sudo kill 21704' (the pid) | 06:05 |
| daklan | luckysmack: kill -9 <pid> | 06:05 |
| hfic | kill -9 pid | 06:05 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: ok, thaks I'm trying that slice size you suggested. I think it will be close enough for gov'mt work. | 06:05 |
| drupin | /etc/apt/sources.list.d two enteries of dvd.list | 06:05 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: also, for an automated backup-system, that's a really bad idea... | 06:05 |
| thufir_ | bkc_: why is that a bad idea? | 06:06 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: the pause-and-wait-for-user-input-thingy that is... | 06:06 |
| thufir_ | oh, yeah, I'm just backing up an entire hard drive in order to format it. It's a one-time backup. | 06:07 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: then I'd suggest a removable harddrive instead :) | 06:07 |
| thufir_ | lol, yes, that would make more sense. I'm not always known for doing things the sensible way... | 06:08 |
| luckysmack | daklan: `lsof | grep config.dat` doesnt come up with any results | 06:08 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: have a look att clonezilla, it's a live-distro built for exactly this purpose :) | 06:08 |
| thufir_ | will do, thanks :) | 06:08 |
| bkc_ | !clonezilla | 06:08 |
| xkill | redo is easier | 06:08 |
| luckysmack | daklan: kill -9 pid killed aptitude, but still same error. | 06:09 |
| Janos | so i have not been paying much attention to file systems lately and suddenly i find this /run directory, ls -lid tells me it shares the same inode as /var/run which leaves me with two questions: first, is it possible to hard link directories on ext4 ? and more importantly, why the hell do we keep putting more stuff in / ? :P | 06:09 |
| ankur | luckysmack, i am no expert bro, sudo apt works when i restart my terminal | 06:09 |
| luckysmack | would a simple restart fix this? | 06:09 |
| xkill | http://redobackup.org/ | 06:09 |
| ankur | luckysmack, from what i can see it's the half installed program that' causing the problem, try uninstalling it | 06:09 |
| daklan | luckysmack: tried to uninstall the package you were trying to install? | 06:09 |
| Pazzie | hi all, i want to add my additional hdd (existing one) i can see him but if i want to mount it it keeps saying in correct filesystem, what happend was i reinstalled my system and now i want to add the harddrive again | 06:09 |
| daklan | ankur: good insight :) | 06:09 |
| luckysmack | yea i have tried. | 06:09 |
| bkc_ | thufir_: http://clonezilla.org/ :) | 06:09 |
| Pazzie | i my previous configuration it was a lvm | 06:10 |
| luckysmack | ill post the output | 06:10 |
| drupin | the double enteries not moving out | 06:10 |
| drupin | in the PPA | 06:10 |
| xkill | sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:10 |
| ankur | daklan, how much of coding do you know on linux? | 06:10 |
| daklan | Pazzie: specify the correct file type using -t parameter | 06:11 |
| xkill | thufir_: http://redobackup.org/ | 06:11 |
| daklan | ankur: by "coding", you mean scripting? | 06:11 |
| ankur | yep | 06:11 |
| Pazzie | daklan: in the fstab file? | 06:11 |
| daklan | ankur: run of the mill shell scripting, python, some other stuff | 06:11 |
| daklan | Pazzie: mount -t | 06:12 |
| daklan | Pazzie: add your special ingredients to that command | 06:12 |
| luckysmack | i closed my terminal, and tried again. here are my results, still broken: http://bpaste.net/show/1sltGB5f9h5og1qouRYL/ | 06:12 |
| daklan | Pazzie: in fact, "man mount" | 06:12 |
| daklan | luckysmack: sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db | 06:13 |
| Pazzie | well what i did was this, i put the uuid in the fstab file (since i can see the harddrive) and then i do sudo mount -a | 06:13 |
| daklan | luckysmack: it's getting stuck at that point | 06:13 |
| daklan | Pazzie: try it first using "mount", then modify your fstab according to what worked with mount | 06:13 |
| thufir_ | xkill: thanks. I think DAR will suffice for tonight, but good to know. | 06:14 |
| alqasmey | sudo apt-get autotremove | 06:14 |
| luckysmack | trying | 06:14 |
| ankur | daklan, any tips for a noob aiming to make an OS | 06:14 |
| Janos | Pazzie, just my two cents, if you had a lvm config on this drive you can't mount it directly AFAIK, you have to assemble the lvm first and then mount the lvm device | 06:14 |
| alqasmey | hi | 06:14 |
| daklan | Pazzie: you may be specifying the wrong fs type, or you specified the entire drive when in fact you want to mount a partition | 06:14 |
| daklan | ankur: an OS? big dreams there, brother | 06:15 |
| daklan | ankur: and no, you can't clobber an OS together using shell scripting | 06:15 |
| Pazzie | daklan: yes thats te error message i am receiving | 06:15 |
| daklan | Pazzie: inspect the partitions on that drive using fdisk -l | 06:16 |
| daklan | Pazzie: my guess is that your drive is partitioned, and you're trying to mount /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 (as an example) | 06:16 |
| Pazzie | daklan: if i do fdisk -l nothing happends (do i need to type the hdd behind it? | 06:17 |
| xkill | should have listed the drives | 06:17 |
| xkill | sudo fdisk -l | 06:18 |
| hfic | Pazzie, you need sudo | 06:18 |
| daklan | Pazzie: yep. "man fdisk" for more info | 06:18 |
| daklan | yeah, and whatever the other folks said | 06:18 |
| jmstick | dak is apt-get purge program the same as apt-get remove --purge program | 06:18 |
| ankur | daklan, yeah i know but i need to start with something. and we need to dream big, haven't you heard? Shoot for the moon, don't worry even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars :P | 06:18 |
| Pazzie | daklan: yes that is correct, but i have read, that nowdays ubuntu mounts on uuid instead of /dev/sdb for example | 06:18 |
| luckysmack | daklan: running `sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db` will uninstall my ubuntu-desktop and a lot of other things. : gnome-user-guide* man-db* ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-docs* ubuntu-standard* yelp* | 06:19 |
| daklan | Pazzie: yes, that's if you reference the correct uuid | 06:19 |
| daklan | luckysmack: wow, use dpkg instead | 06:19 |
| xkill | sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:19 |
| hfic | Pazzie, blkid will show u UUIDs | 06:19 |
| daklan | xkill: dpkg is failing on the configure step, that won't work | 06:20 |
| luckysmack | sudo dpkg --configure -a doesnt work. | 06:20 |
| Pazzie | daklan: i see the drive with fdisk -l (/dev/sdc1 system GPT) but i dont see the filesystem it is | 06:20 |
| hfic | Pazzie, sudo blkid | 06:21 |
| daklan | luckysmack: dpkg -r | 06:21 |
| luckysmack | dpkg gives me this: http://bpaste.net/show/52q4AYLP288zruBq2lpc/ | 06:21 |
| daklan | i had to man that stupid flag, haven't used dpkg by itself in a while :( | 06:21 |
| Pazzie | hfic: this is what i now see: /dev/sdc1: UUID="wttki2-9ggl-b4Zx-7dRc-T522-SfFl-BnSHNP" TYPE="LVM2_member" | 06:21 |
| daklan | Pazzie: oh, it's LVM | 06:21 |
| hfic | Pazzie, your drive is LVM | 06:22 |
| Pazzie | yes, i have tried it in my last configuration | 06:22 |
| Pazzie | but i dont want that anymore | 06:22 |
| Pazzie | i dont need lvm | 06:22 |
| jmstick | luckysmack fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat to find out which process is using this file. | 06:22 |
| luckysmack | sudo dpkg -r man-db gives me this: http://bpaste.net/show/Xj6jfPNpF9TweN4pz79S/ | 06:23 |
| Pazzie | but there is still data on the drive | 06:23 |
| luckysmack | jmstick: no results | 06:23 |
| jmstick | sudo dpkg --configure -a doesnt work? | 06:24 |
| luckysmack | jmstick: no that gives me: http://bpaste.net/show/52q4AYLP288zruBq2lpc/ | 06:24 |
| xkill | no | 06:25 |
| daklan | luckysmack: tried the -f flag? | 06:25 |
| Pazzie | hfic: or daklan any idea? i just want to access the data and after that i can repartition the drive if needed | 06:25 |
| luckysmack | daklan: aptitude install -f ? yea i have | 06:25 |
| daklan | Pazzie: never tried mounting lvm on a separate machine. I'm sure there's a way, just haven't tried it | 06:26 |
| Janos | luckysmack, what's the status of the package ? dpkg --get-selections <package> | 06:26 |
| luckysmack | if i do that with aptitude, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop, since it wants to now remove man-db | 06:26 |
| hfic | Pazzie, do pvs | 06:26 |
| Pazzie | anyone? hfic | 06:27 |
| ankur | daklan, there? | 06:27 |
| jmstick | luckysmack tryed a restart and or: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get update | 06:27 |
| Janos | Pazzie, pvs, vgs and lvs should give you more info | 06:27 |
| Pazzie | pvs? just as a command? | 06:27 |
| daklan | Pazzie: tried this? http://linuxers.org/howto/how-mount-linux-lvm-volume-partitions-linux | 06:27 |
| hfic | Pazzie, type pvs, and it will show the groupname the LVM belongs 2 and mount it by the group | 06:27 |
| daklan | ankur: yep | 06:27 |
| ankur | daklan, read my last reply :D | 06:27 |
| luckysmack | Janos: oracle-java7-installerpurge | 06:27 |
| luckysmack | i asked about a restart, but people were still feeding me ideas to try and fix. so not not yet | 06:28 |
| daklan | ankur: hard to do that when you're ssh-ing to a headless server and there's tons of text scrolling in your window | 06:28 |
| Janos | luckysmack, according to your paste, the package with the problem seems to be man-db, not oracle-java | 06:28 |

| raymond_ | hfic, thanks :) | 06:29 |
| hfic | raymond_, gl | 06:29 |
| daklan | luckysmack: i'd do a dpkg -rf man-db, but i'd make sure it doesn't take the other dependent packages with it | 06:29 |
| ankur | daklan, anyways any tips as to where i should start?? | 06:30 |
| luckysmack | yea i know. i didnt touch man-db until someone mentioned to see if removing it would help. i didnt install it myself. it either was on the system, or some other package installed it. ubuntu-desktop depends on it. | 06:30 |
| daklan | ankur: start with robot rtos | 06:30 |
| Janos | luckysmack, dpkg --get-selections man-db ? | 06:31 |
| ankur | daklan, what's that | 06:31 |
| daklan | ankur: you'd learn a lot about the hardware if you start with robot kits. I mean you need an in-depth knowledge of hardware for you to delve into OS programming | 06:31 |
| luckysmack | Janos: man-dbdeinstall | 06:32 |
| ankur | i know about computer organization | 06:32 |
| daklan | ankur: you know those robot kits that they sell? they come with RTOS development environments - real time operating system | 06:32 |
| ankur | daklan, yeah iknow | 06:32 |
| luckysmack | but i think thats because i was asked to try and remove it. the reason its on deinstall | 06:32 |
| Janos | luckysmack, sudo apt-get install man-db ? | 06:32 |
| Pazzie | daklan: hfic i am now a little bit futher | 06:33 |
| daklan | Pazzie: great! | 06:33 |
| Pazzie | now i get this if i want to mount it: sudo mount /dev/s-ftp/Data /media/Downloads mount: special device /dev/s-ftp/Data does not exist | 06:33 |
| luckysmack | Janos: that didnt break. looked like it worked. but man-db status is still deinstall | 06:33 |
| Yifu | ？ | 06:34 |
| luckysmack | Janos: http://bpaste.net/show/1TFEjyhz1rtmJIhntsMc/ | 06:34 |
| Janos | luckysmack, echo 'man-db install' | sudo dpkg --set-selection, and then try to update or whatever you were trying to do in there first place | 06:35 |
| Pazzie | daklan: /dev/s-ftp/Data is the lv name i get when i did:sudo lvdisplay /dev/s-ftp | 06:35 |
| luckysmack | ok ill try | 06:36 |
| Janos | Pazzie, can you pastebin the output of pvs, vgs and lvs ? | 06:36 |

| Pazzie | Marzata: i am from the netherlands :D | 06:41 |
| blackshirt | i'm from indonesia marzata | 06:42 |
| Janos | Pazzie, you are missing a physical disk, don't think it's possible to start and lvm like that | 06:42 |
| Marzata | blackshirt: ah, a Java developer? | 06:42 |
| Marzata | and the Netherlands are to low | 06:42 |
| blackshirt | marzata, ah.. You make a joke :d | 06:43 |
| blackshirt | i come from java island :d | 06:43 |
| luckysmack | ok it looks like this fixed it: echo 'man-db install' | sudo dpkg --set-selection | 06:43 |
| blackshirt | But it was not related to java programming languages | 06:43 |
| newbie | And aMule worked before that, so bleachbit did something | 06:44 |

| nbubuntu | I need a bit help , I can't get galaxy tab mount on ubuntu , not sure the reason was , installed gmtp and it doesn't get connect | 06:45 |
| Pazzie | Janos: what happend is, when i first installed ubuntu, i choose to use lvm, (i had 4 disks, 1 os and 3 data) but i sized my os disk to small, and i needed to extend it, but with gparted it was not possible so i then thought to reinstall my system with a bigger hdd. (since it is a vm, i removed my os disk and i have kept my 3 data disks) but now i want to add my hdd disks but the system is not allowing me | 06:45 |
| hfic | newbie, bleachbit overwrites data rendering it complete garbage that can't be recovered. If you did something to a program try reinstalling | 06:46 |
| Janos | Pazzie, pastebin cat /proc/partitions | 06:47 |
| newbie | hfic: I was hoping that I could just remove something or do a command and recover the program. I remember with Thunderbird I had a similar problem and I had to delete something and it worked after that | 06:47 |
| Pazzie | Janos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206274/ | 06:48 |
| hfic | newbie, without knowing what was deleted or changed reinstall is the quickest option. | 06:48 |

| Pazzie | Janos: yes | 06:52 |
| === joe____ is now known as xerox1 | ||
| Janos | Pazzie, well bad news, you erased one of the partitions of your LVM Physical Volume i don't know how to recover that, not sure it's even possible without recovering that partition | 06:54 |
| Pazzie | no... sda is empty that is okay the data i need is on sdb1 and sdc1 | 06:55 |
| MK` | Is there a command to list all folders I am sharing over a network? | 06:57 |
| Janos | yes but sdb1 and sdc1 along with sdaN where the components of the Volume Group named s-ftp and now the sdaN is no more, so the Volume Group s-ftp won't start, which means the Logical Volumes Data and Software won't start either :( | 06:57 |

| MK` | thank you | 06:59 |
| Janos | Pazzie, what's wrong there ? | 06:59 |
| Pazzie | Janos: that is the disk that i am trying to mount | 07:00 |
| Asad2005 | i am getting this error "postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory" | 07:00 |
| Pazzie | Janos: but you are saying, i cannot access the data anymore on the drives? and i need to wipe them, to be able to mount them? | 07:01 |
| Janos | Pazzie, the error you are seeing there is just because fdisk doesn't support GPT, you can use parted to list the partitions of that disk like this, sudo parted -l /dev/sdb | 07:01 |
| Janos | Pazzie, but there is nothing wrong with sdb or sdc according to LVM, the problem is a missing physical partition that is no longer on the system and i assumed was on sda and got erased, and like i said, if all the parts of a Physical Volume are not available, this volume won't start | 07:03 |

| === Abbas- is now known as Abbas| | ||
| Janos | Pazzie, sorry man, the physical partitions right now have data that only LVM understand, they don't have any conventional file system that you can mount directly, if lvm does not read it, no one else can, so i have no idea what else to do here | 07:11 |
| Pazzie | Janos: and what about install a new ubunutu system with lvm? (with the same name i used before and then try to mount it? ) | 07:12 |

| alkisg | I've set up contacts syncing between thunderbird and gmail, but ...I don't remember how I did it, or how to add new google address books. I suspect I've set them up in evolution in previous Ubuntu versions, and thunderbird is seeing them via the preinstalled EDS (evolution data server) Contact Integration plugin. | 07:20 |
| alkisg | So, my question is, is it true that thunderbird by default on Precise has no way at all to sync with google contacts without manually installing a plugin? | 07:20 |

| RPG-Master | I have this cheap but supposedly decent wireless router I got from Monoprice, which I use as a bridge from my parent's room (source of the cable) to the rest of the house. It works great... but it drops it's connection to the main router at what seems to be random. What could the problem be, and how can I troubleshoot it? | 07:22 |
| RPG-Master | I hear that the monoprice router runs some sort of Tomato, if that helps | 07:22 |
| bkc_ | RPG-Master: It propably overflows in a buffer somewhere... start by checking if UPnP is turned on in the router-config (both of them), and if it's on turn it off :) | 07:23 |
| RPG-Master | bkc_: checking now | 07:23 |
| bkc_ | UPnP is garbage, right up there with Avahi and ZeroConf... | 07:23 |
| Elthommo | hi, anybody here good with dual boot ? | 07:26 |

| RPG-Master | checking | 07:29 |

| RPG-Master | bkc_: OK, I turned it off... now I'm wondering how to test it out on the bridge router. | 07:34 |

| Janos | RPG-Master, remove the drive, remove both dirs if they still exists, connect it back again | 07:49 |
| RPG-Master | gonna try | 07:50 |
| Janos | buhman, wait Arch uses partage as in gentoo portage ? | 07:50 |
| buhman | Janos: no, you mentioned gentoo | 07:50 |
| mn2010 | Is there a ubuntu Development Channel(i forget) i need assistance on a dev release issue | 07:50 |
| buhman | I'm talking about gentoo | 07:50 |
| msmith0957 | bkc_: aplay -l lists my sound card, alsamixer also allows me to mess with levels, but the actual vol control only shows the 'dummy output' hardware playback device, not my REAL card | 07:50 |
| auronandace | !12.10 | mn2010 | 07:50 |

| root_micro_mac | hello | 07:51 |
| Janos | buhman, ahh ok, so the oversimplified docs, were about gentoo too ? | 07:51 |
| msmith0957 | bkc_: someone had a similar issue here, with very similar hardware: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/190509 but their solution did not appear to help me | 07:51 |
| buhman | Janos: no, that was archlinux | 07:51 |
| Janos | lol ok | 07:51 |
| mn2010 | thanks auronandace, i never use IRC... | 07:51 |
| buhman | Janos: I apologize my "gentoo docs:" transition was not explicit enough | 07:52 |
| auronandace | mn2010: no worries :) | 07:52 |
| bkc_ | msmith0957: I'm guessing you're using regular ubuntu 12.04? then it's probably PulseAudio's fault... | 07:52 |

| msmith0957 | yes, i've heard some very negative things about PA :? | 07:52 |
| msmith0957 | So, what to do ? | 07:52 |

| bkc_ | Damn Lennartware... -.- | 07:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !gksudo > lotuspsychje | 07:53 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje, please see my private message | 07:53 |
| buhman | msmith0957: 1) disable it 2) profit | 07:53 |
| RPG-Master | woo, fixed that :D | 07:53 |
| Janos | so elder huh, well can't really say at this point, haven't use gentoo in around 10 years, but back then they actually had all the new toys, and they easiest package manager i have ever build a package for | 07:53 |
| RPG-Master | Thanks Janos :) | 07:53 |
| msmith0957 | buhman: i believe i've actually killed it once, and made sure auto spawning was disabled. but didnt see any immediate benefit, would a reboot be necessary ? | 07:53 |
| alkisg | Is gnome-contacts used at all in Ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| Janos | RPG-Master, sure thing | 07:54 |
| msmith0957 | Im guesing yes. | 07:54 |
| buhman | msmith0957: you'll essentially want to stop the pulseaudio daemon, remove it from update-rc.d or however ubuntu does things. Then you need to change your asoundrc/asound.conf | 07:54 |
| buhman | msmith0957: "change" meaning "make your default output device plug:dmix rather than pulse" | 07:54 |
| auronandace | !info gnome-contacts | alkisg | 07:54 |
| ubottu | alkisg: gnome-contacts (source: gnome-contacts): Contacts manager for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4.0-1 (precise), package size 309 kB, installed size 1482 kB | 07:54 |
| buhman | msmith0957: reboot: absolutely not | 07:54 |
| msmith0957 | buhman: i'll give it a go, I think I tried this same thing yesterday, sans the asound.conf change | 07:55 |
| buhman | msmith0957: modifying asound.conf is the most important part :P | 07:55 |
| buhman | msmith0957: without it, you'll then be trying to send audio to a daemon that no longer exists. | 07:55 |
| alkisg | auronandace: ah, it was installed in my setup because I did an upgrade, I just saw that it's not preinstalled by default. So, why is evolution-data-server still preinstalled? Thank you. | 07:56 |
| Janos | anyway the only bad thing about gentoo were actually the things that made it shine, packaging for it very fun, having to compile firefox and X from source, not so much | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | Janos | 07:56 |
| ubottu | Janos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:56 |
| auronandace | alkisg: thats optional too | 07:56 |
| buhman | msmith0957: pulse will likely have control of hw0.0; but once you stop it, you can even specify dmix/hw0.0 manually. | 07:57 |
| auronandace | alkisg: thunderbird is default in 12.04 | 07:57 |
| alkisg | auronandace: so it's not needed by any core components like ubuntu one, and I can remove it... Thanks :) | 07:57 |
| dzup | who gives floodbots channel op if services are down? | 07:58 |
| alkisg | auronandace: yeah, the problem was that thunderbird got my contacts from evolution-data-server, and I couldn't find any ways to add new eds addressbooks | 07:58 |
| buhman | msmith0957: if that still doesn't work, likely your mixer is still mis-configured, and pastebinning the output of "amixer" would be beneficial. | 07:58 |
| alkisg | Switching to gcontactssync :) | 07:58 |
| msmith0957 | buhman: ok, i'll try all that and see what happens | 07:58 |

| buhman | msmith0957: if it doesn't work you're doing it wrong | 07:59 |
| buhman | msmith0957: it is unlikely you have hardware that is completely unsupported and/or are encountering a legitimate alsa bug. | 08:00 |
| VinnyAtaide | Is there a way to hard format all my HDD? because my partitions where harmed by windows, and I can't install ubuntu next to windows. | 08:00 |
| buhman | (with the exception of those winmodem sound card pieces of crap from 1997) | 08:00 |
| buhman | (but nobody has that hardware anymore) | 08:00 |
| msmith0957 | buhman: yes, i completely agree lol | 08:00 |
| lotuspsychje | VinnyAtaide:you can choose wipe whole hd and install ubuntu in the installer | 08:02 |
| bkc_ | buhman: I have that hw! ^^ | 08:02 |
| bkc_ | my old IBM 760 has it >.< | 08:03 |
| JustAlice | Does anyone know how I can fix my trackpad. I installed Ubuntu on my macbook but the trackpad wont work anymore. | 08:04 |
| msmith0957 | buhman: i can't seem to locate any 'asound.conf' or 'asoundrc' files/folders on my system | 08:04 |
| bkc_ | msmith0957: it's a hidden file in /home/$USER | 08:04 |
| VinnyAtaide | lotuspsychje : but will Ubuntu do a hard format? I'm worried about future changes, because I can't install windows and linux next to each other now so I want to fix this issue on the future. That's why I asked to do a really hard format. | 08:05 |
| msmith0957 | yeah, thats what i found online, but i dont have a .asoundrc | 08:05 |
| bkc_ | msmith0957: create one? | 08:05 |

| VinnyAtaide | ok. I know about the grub issue, but when I formatted with windows my linux can't see my HDD now. | 08:07 |
| Janos | VinnyAtaide, use ubuntu live cd to "format" your drive with the disk utility, install windows and then install ubuntu | 08:07 |

| Janos | zal, i'm sure there is a complete list somewhere in the kernel docs, still looking for a link, but you get the idea | 08:30 |
| msmith0957 | bkc_: its not ~/.asoundrc/asound.conf ? | 08:31 |

| zal | and now no more watching | 08:33 |
| zal | o_0 | 08:33 |
| msmith0957 | bkc_: hmm. Neither .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf is normally required. You should be able to play and record sound without either (assuming your mic and speakers are hooked up properly). If your system won't work without one, and you are running the most current version of ALSA, you probably should file a bug report. lol, should i file a bug report ?? | 08:34 |
| idefix | bkc_ with the request to e-mail it to the makers and it says to cut and paste so it should work | 08:34 |
| Janos | zal, found it, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134 basically you have to modprobe saa7134 card=x tuner=y to manually tell the module which card you have in case the autodetect breaks, once you find it you can add it to /etc/module with the parameters you found to work | 08:34 |
| Romance | xkill : are you sure i didnt formatted my windows 7 partition? :( ,what do you recommend for recovery software | 08:34 |
| zal | i isnt it saa7135 ? cuz thats what it is in lspci ? | 08:34 |
| xkill | the filesystem is listed as "unknown" yes. formatting it would have put it into a known filesystem | 08:34 |
| bkc_ | a tip to any op in here... set mode to -q $a, just incase ChanServ/NickServ goes down again... they seem unstable atm | 08:35 |
| zal | whats the command i should issue for tuner card settings ? | 08:35 |

| zal | Janos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206397/ | 08:37 |
| xkill | well if you are to recover you data, you will need a drive that is as big as all the data you wan to recover (either connected to that machine or to a networked computer) | 08:37 |
| zal | what does every pony do ? | 08:38 |
| Janos | zal, sudo rmmod saa7134, then sudo modprobe saa7134 card=x tuner=y, where x is a value from the list i just gave you and y is a value from this list http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner | 08:38 |

| xeli | Hi, I've got a laptop with 12gb ram, and I'd like to be able to hibernate. But I don't want to lose 12gb of my ssd all the time, is there a way for ubuntu to only use 12gb when im hibernating? | 08:52 |
| xeli | 12gb would be used by swap obviously | 08:53 |
| Janos | msmith0957, can you pastebin, aplay -L and aplay -l | 08:53 |
| Janos | msmith0957, and cat /proc/asound/cards, sorry | 08:54 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: with pleasure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206424/ | 08:56 |
| Janos | msmith0957, so your problem is, you can't select your card in sound gui right ? | 08:59 |
| synfin1 | I've been trying to install 12.04 onto a Dell 14z-5423 (Inspiron). The computer has an SSD for windows, and a 500gb sata. Ubuntu can see the 500gb sata via fdisk. But it cannot see it from the installation menu when selecting partitions. Any ideas? | 08:59 |
| Wizard | Hi. | 08:59 |
| lotuspsychje | synfin1:did you change BIOS to ahci? | 08:59 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: yes, that was the original problem, the actual hardware device for the card wasnt being populated in the vol control gui | 08:59 |
| msmith0957 | But since then, the gui is disabled now that PulseAudio has been killed | 09:00 |
| synfin1 | lotuspsychje: I will try that and see what happens. | 09:00 |
| onto | Hi! I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I tried installing rstudio (http://rstudio.org/) and the installation went fine but when I run rstudio, it gives the following error: | 09:01 |

| Janos | msmith0957, well pulse is a bit resilient and i think it's still running, pactl info ? | 09:02 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: sorry, not familar with pactl, but you wanted me to run 'pactl info' ? | 09:03 |
| Janos | msmith0957, right | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206424/ | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | nvm that.. | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | mike@MikeM7700:~$ pactl info | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | Connection failure: Connection refused | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused | 09:04 |
| FloodBot1 | msmith0957: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:04 |
| msmith0957 | eh, "Connection FailureL connection refused. pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused." | 09:05 |
| Janos | onto, that sounds more like a rstudio issue | 09:05 |
| onto | Janos: so it's not libgobject? | 09:05 |
| Janos | msmith0957, ok, it's dead then, let's try to start it again and make it work, pulse might suck, but at this point is probably easier to remove ubuntu than pulse :P, do 'pulseaudio --start' | 09:08 |
| krababbel | doesn't the pulse daemon start automatically when needed? | 09:08 |
| msmith0957 | had it killed temporarily ;) | 09:09 |
| msmith0957 | but, its started now | 09:09 |
| synfin1 | Ok, I tested ahci for sata, and it can still only see the ssd. | 09:09 |
| bkc_ | synfin1: are you using raid? | 09:10 |
| Janos | onto, well it's weird that rstudio u suppose to work with ubuntu 10.04+ and yet it's looking for a symbol that does not exists in the libgobject library that comes with your ubuntu 10.04, so my guess here is, that it probably needs a newer version of this lib, try it with 12.04 and if it works, report a bug to rstudio | 09:10 |
| Janos | msmith0957, ok, now pactl info again pls | 09:10 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: when you do pulseaudio -k to kill it, it will start itself when any program needs audio, like pavucontrol for example. Btw. I always started it wit pulseaudio -D | 09:11 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206456/ | 09:11 |
| onto | Janos: for the record, I had upgraded libgobject manually once because it was a dependency of some software (and the repository didn't have it) | 09:11 |
| synfin1 | bkc: No. The SSD is 32gb, sata is 500gb. I believe teh ssd is just for windows to boot quickly. If I run fdisk I can see both hard drives, but the Ubuntu installation screen only sees /dev/sdb (ssd) | 09:11 |
| msmith0957 | krababbel: yes, it would normally, but not if you disable autospawning | 09:11 |
| krababbel | you can also do 'pacmd list' msmith0957 | 09:11 |
| krababbel | of course msmith0957 | 09:12 |
| Janos | onto, then i think we found the problem :) | 09:12 |
| bkc_ | synfin1: try checking "partition manually" and continue :) | 09:12 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: krababbel http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206459/ | 09:13 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: what is the issue, you only got dummy output? | 09:14 |
| msmith0957 | yes sir | 09:14 |
| synfin1 | bkc_: There isn't any such icon on the screen. It is the "Installation Type" screen. It has options to create new partition table, add, change, delete, revert, as well as boot loader installation choice. But none of the new/add/change buttons work | 09:14 |
| onto | Janos: so what's the solution? :) | 09:14 |
| synfin1 | they are just "frozen" | 09:14 |
| MonkWithTheFunk | hello channel. ubuntu 11.10 for intel64 installed on my desktop doesnt work well. ubuntu freezes on my acer ax1700 | 09:14 |
| bkc_ | MonkWithTheFunk: upgrade :) | 09:15 |
| MonkWithTheFunk | it works fine on my laptop though | 09:15 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: I got that using xdm, or lightdm too maybe, at boot something takes control of the audio device before pulse can, that's what #pulse told me. For me slim login manager worked. I guess it is a bug in boot process. | 09:15 |

Installing the proprietary drm driver and rebooting results in 1/4 screensize, the rest of the screen is black/white pixel. Installing the 3d acceleration driver results in black screen after rebooting.Currently I have deinstalled both drivers. Searching the web had no helpful hints for me so far. What can I do to get my g | 09:16 |
| makro_ | raphics running? | 09:16 |
| msmith0957 | krababbel: i'm running a fairly stock install of ubuntu. its been a no-go ever since installation, which was only a few days ago | 09:16 |
| MonkWithTheFunk | well eset security wouldnt currently support an upgrade. 12.04 LTS is to new | 09:16 |
| synfin1 | MonkWithTheFunk: ESET being antivirus software? | 09:17 |
| MonkWithTheFunk | yes | 09:17 |
| Janos | onto, reinstall the library package from the ubuntu repo and that should work, probably the other stuff will break though | 09:18 |
| synfin1 | MonkWithTheFunk: You don't need antivirus software with Linux. | 09:18 |
| lotuspsychje | synfin1:did you correctly installed sata cables to mainboard? | 09:19 |
| MonkWithTheFunk | i prefer to use it | 09:19 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: mine is a minimal installation, and the others had the standard too probably. Also some, including me, had problems getting xdm or lightdm to load automatically sometimes too. msmith0957: Is the card in /proc/asound/... ? Some generic onboard I guess? | 09:19 |

| lotuspsychje | synfin1:i think it might help if you would install win7, and make new partition from there to use for ubuntu afterwards | 09:31 |
| richyoungrush | who | 09:31 |
| cute_bettong | so does anyone know the answer to my question? | 09:31 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: anything I should do besides just running it, and then killing it ? | 09:31 |
| synfin1 | lotuspsychje: I don't think I was clear. THe problem is the installation procedure does not see the disks. Ubuntu itself (via fdisk) can see it just fine. But when I double click on "Install 12.04 to hard drive" (sic), that tool cannot see the drive | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_bettong:maybe a driver needed install? | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | synfin1:yes i understood it good, i think the drive not showing means the drive belongs to win7..try single boot at first | 09:33 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206483/ | 09:33 |
| cute_bettong | lotuspsychje, well i installed alsa-hda-dkms_0.201209142343~oneiric1_all.deb and it did fix the issue, but it made IDJC audio all choppy, the minute i removed it it went back to being geeky with the headphone jack, plug the headphones in all the way and no sound, pull the plug out just a tiny bit and there's sound but it's low quality | 09:33 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_bettong:any var/log errors that can help us? | 09:33 |
| cute_bettong | lotuspsychje, i don't know what you would need or how to get the log | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_bettong: you can try /var/log/syslog to see if audio got issues | 09:34 |
| joshmc | Testing for an irc plugin. Hi, ubottu. | 09:34 |
| joshmc | ... and here I was hoping for a response. | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_bettong: or do a tail -f /var/log/syslog and start messing with it to see whats happening | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | !test | joshmc | 09:35 |
| ubottu | joshmc: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 09:35 |
| cute_bettong | lotuspsychje, there's alot of stuff in there, what am i looking for? or do you want me to paste the entire log to pastebin? | 09:36 |
| Janos | msmith0957, do you have any wav file around we can use for testing ? | 09:36 |
| joshmc | ty lotuspsychje. Looks like I have to tweak the triggers again. | 09:36 |
| Janos | msmith0957, if not, get one on google, no matter what | 09:37 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: i'm playing pandora continuously as ive been debugging this. but need a wav specificaly ? | 09:37 |
| msmith0957 | speaker-test ? | 09:37 |
| Janos | msmith0957, sounds good, also give me, ls -l /dev/snd/ | 09:37 |

| houman | Hi, I have just compiled git (with make) and it created lots of git related directories into my home (e.g. bin, lib, libexec, share and each includes git related files) Do I have to run 'make' with a prefix to avoid this mess? Why didn't it keep everything in the /usr/local/src as expected? | 09:39 |
| houman | The idea is to commpile it in to a debian package | 09:39 |
| bekks | houman: You have to run configure with a specific prefix to avoid that. | 09:40 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_bettong:did you take a look in 'additional drivers' if your audio card got an alternate driver? | 09:40 |
| drupin | do i partition my flash drive ....before to install the live on in it to gain more than 4Gig of space as mentioned here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ | 09:40 |
| cute_bettong | lotuspsychje, yes, there's one for my video card, but im using the drivers from ATI website | 09:41 |
| xkill | you can do it before or after | 09:41 |
| drupin | or it should have the live OS persistant from before | 09:41 |
| cute_bettong | lotuspsychje, also nothings showing up when i insert or remove the headphone jack | 09:41 |
| joshmc | drupin: I'm not sure, but I think the pendrivelinux articles are fairly old. Is that dated? | 09:41 |
| jrib | houman: why compile git? It's in the repositorise | 09:41 |
| houman | @bekks: ah I see. but there is no ./configure in git's source. What shall I do then? | 09:41 |
| xkill | dupin: best to partition before hand so you dont need another live disk to do it later | 09:41 |
| bekks | houman: Best thing is to use git from the official repos. | 09:41 |
| lotuspsychje | cute_betong:maybe this can help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PreciseJackDetectionTesting | 09:42 |
| houman | jrib: I was just feeling I could do it. ;) I was wrong | 09:42 |
| Janos | msmith0957, now kill pulse and do aplay -L and tell me if there is anything other than null | 09:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !triggers > lotuspsychje | 09:42 |
| drupin | xkill: so with what sizez i assign the drives.. xkill | 09:42 |
| drupin | joshmc: no date given? | 09:43 |
| xkill | the system will be installed onto a !!2GB Fat16!! partition and the rest of the disk as an ext2 partition labeled casper | 09:43 |
| drupin | primary partion i give fat16 how much space? | 09:43 |
| houman | http://git-scm.com/ kind of intrigues you into installing the latest version. :) | 09:43 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: the Pulse Audio Sound Server is still there, but I belive it is affectively killed. vol controls wont open bc "unable to connect to Pulse Audio" | 09:43 |
| drupin | 2Gb is enuff xkill | 09:44 |
| xkill | 2GB cuz thats the most you can get with fat16, and fat16 cuz it a lot faster than Fat32 | 09:44 |
| drupin | ok | 09:44 |
| drupin | what i name this partition | 09:44 |
| Janos | msmith0957, and aplay -L ? | 09:45 |
| xkill | that fat16 partition; it doesnt matter, the USB creator will name it. the ext2 must be labeled casper | 09:45 |
| drupin | ok i make it 2 gigs a min | 09:45 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: null, Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)..... pulse, PulseAudio Sound Server | 09:45 |
| xkill | 2 gigs cuz thats all Fat16 can do. you want Fat16 cuz it is a lot faster than Fat32. | 09:46 |
| drupin | xkill: do i align to cylinders | 09:46 |

| xkill | dont mess with that (what are you using that it's asking you te mess with the cylinders?) | 09:47 |

| drupin | lol ... its gparted.... xkill | 09:47 |
| xkill | k | 09:47 |
| drupin | cylenders looks cool but... | 09:48 |
| drupin | but i wont try it | 09:48 |
| msmith0957 | drupin: if you're formatting a flash drive (?) i dont believe there are any real 'cylinders' anyway ;) | 09:48 |
| drupin | yes ... its just flash memory | 09:49 |
| drupin | ok now primary is fat16 with 2 Gigs... | 09:49 |
| drupin | now the second drive mu make casper or casper-rw as per this article http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ the live persistant usb usb i am on now also has file named casper-rw | 09:52 |
| Janos | msmith0957, well, pulse does see your card, and according to the log, it's able to get a lock on the card, so what krababbel mentioned should not be the issue, al i see is pulse trying to open devices that do not exists, and not trying the devices that do exist | 09:53 |
| xkill | yup thats right | 09:53 |
| drupin | ok | 09:53 |
| drupin | casper-rw | 09:53 |
| drupin | ext2 or ext4 | 09:54 |
| xkill | etx2 | 09:54 |
| xkill | ext2 | 09:54 |
| drupin | ext4 will be faster ? | 09:54 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: when I was reading through the log output that i pasted, it seemed like there were a ton of errors relating to opening the devices via a particular format | 09:54 |
| drupin | and is swap good or bad to keep | 09:55 |
| msmith0957 | and then eventually failed that the card had failed to load the module | 09:55 |
| drupin | my previous install used to freez when the swap was there | 09:56 |
| Janos | msmith0957, i'm going to take a wild guess here, but i think this might be related to udev not naming devices correctly, this should definitively be reported at launchpad | 09:56 |
| xkill | if you are going to use swap, its better to have it on a diff USB | 09:56 |
| drupin | i dint get .. diff usb? | 09:56 |
| msmith0957 | Oh noes :/ | 09:56 |
| drupin | means one usb dedicated to swap itself | 09:57 |
| xkill | if you are going to have a swap partition, do it on a second USB flash drive. or dont do it at all | 09:57 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: was it you earlier that said this was almost definitely not a bug ? lol | 09:57 |
| Janos | msmith0957, now to fix it, yes i would try to remove pulse and wait to see if ppl at launchpad find anything, but removing pulse is not a task i should be doing at 4 am in the morning, so i think i'm going to call it for today | 09:57 |
| drupin | ok i dont do it | 09:57 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: yes i concur.. 6am over here ! time for bed.. | 09:57 |
| Janos | msmith0957, mm don't remember that :P | 09:57 |
| msmith0957 | well, anyway, thanks a lot, appreciate your kind support | 09:58 |
| drupin | this casper is extended or primary... the first fat16 was primary | 09:58 |
| xkill | primary is better but it wont care either way | 09:58 |
| drupin | both can be primary? | 09:59 |
| xkill | they can be | 09:59 |
| drupin | ok i keep primary | 09:59 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: it should be easy trying a different login manager, you can add another, and set it as default | 10:00 |
| msmith0957 | krababbel: yeah, i might give that a try as well tomorrow, but it seems like that may not be the issue ? | 10:00 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: it is an easy try, I did not see that log Janos mentioned | 10:01 |
| hicham | hi | 10:01 |
| drupin | xkill: primary->noname-fat16 / primary->casper-rw -ext2 .... correct | 10:01 |
| hicham | i have a problem | 10:01 |
| msmith0957 | which log, from running pulseaudio debug output ? | 10:01 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: if that won't work, you just remove the login manager you added | 10:01 |
| hicham | i want to install ubuntu with windows 7 | 10:01 |
| xkill | drupin; correct | 10:01 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: not sure, the one where Janos saw pulse getting lock on the card | 10:01 |
| Janos | msmith0957, no problem, good news is, your audio device is working, so all you have to do now is get rid of pulse, hint, start here /usr/share/alsa, make sure you backup everyything in there and simply start breaking apart everything that has to do with pulse :P | 10:01 |

| hicham | how i can protect windows directory when i using fedora | 10:01 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: but I am really new to linux and ubuntu too | 10:02 |
| xkill | hicham; so do it | 10:02 |
| drupin | ok i apply it now | 10:02 |
| Janos | krababbel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206483/ there, look for lock | 10:02 |
| krababbel | msmith0957: and removing pulse would be the last thing I'd do | 10:02 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: that sounds terrifying haha | 10:02 |
| hicham | Xkill when i using fedora may be a malware download to my pc if i run windows so gonna infected | 10:02 |
| hicham | how to protect windows directory when i using ubuntu | 10:02 |
| krababbel | Janos: it locks Audio0, could be the dummy output, I don't know | 10:03 |
| hicham | sorry not fedora i mean ubuntu | 10:03 |
| xkill | ubuntu isnt going to give windows a virus | 10:03 |
| hicham | Xkill i don't mean that ubuntu give windows a virus i mean when im using browser may be a malware or virus download to my pc and ubuntu don't read it but if i start windows it very danger ? | 10:04 |
| Janos | krababbel, check the rest, it's trying to open devices that don't exist and the device is working on is "alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0" that name looks a lot like a sound card to me | 10:04 |
| xkill | no winows is safe no matter how many viruses ubuntu downloads | 10:04 |
| drupin | ok xkill now i install selecting the f16 partition | 10:04 |
| hicham | thank you bro :) happy life for and i hope everything good for you bro | 10:05 |

| zal | no still cant scan channels | 10:05 |
| Janos | msmith0957, it's terrifying, last time i did it was because i needed digital pass through on my xbmc and it work, but never had to courage to do apt-get upgrade ever again :P | 10:06 |
| hicham | about me i will install it with webi : | 10:06 |
| hicham | :))) | 10:06 |
| zal | if i can scan can i then server to ? | 10:06 |
| zal | howto scan ? | 10:06 |
| msmith0957 | Janos: so with the device names being mismatched, youre saying that because pulseaudio is trying to open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p which doesnt exist? | 10:06 |
| xkill | hicham; that'll be just fine. | 10:06 |
| krababbel | Janos: pulse will always try to open devices automatically as far as I know | 10:07 |

| Janos | msmith0957, correct, i have no idea where pulse is getting that info from, apparently is from udev but, should be udev the same that name the device files under /dev in the first place | 10:08 |
| krababbel | Janos: could be it tried opening the real card first, and then trying "others" | 10:08 |
| xkill | ive never done it that way. i always end up with junk a blank screen instead of booting | 10:08 |
| drupin | I used the startup disk created to make this live persistent USB | 10:08 |

| jrib | jhker: yep. That's the fastest way since otherwise you'd need to get some reference for what the ownership of each file /should/ be and then apply it. If you choose to go this route, it will take you more time, but you could use any other working system (with at least all the packages that the broken system has) and the setfacl command with --restore | 10:28 |

| bekks | :) | 10:36 |
| jhker | bekks: what's not supported? | 10:36 |
| bekks | jhker: Using su onstead of sudo :) | 10:37 |
| bekks | jhker: But what did you do with /etc/ so far? | 10:37 |
| jrib | jhker: it's still going to take you longer than a reinstall, and you should use "su -" not "su" or "su root" | 10:37 |
| bekks | jrib: You cant use su at all on Ubuntu be default, since by default, there is no root pw set. | 10:37 |
| bekks | So sudo is the only way to goi :) | 10:37 |
| jrib | bekks: yes... | 10:37 |
| bekks | *go | 10:37 |

| xkill | drupin; this is absolutely NOTHING like how i make my live USB drives | 10:43 |

| ripdisk_ | THIS ISNT A VALID NTFS | 10:43 |
| jhker | i just changed back to root, and now i can sudo again. | 10:43 |
| ripdisk_ | so | 10:43 |
| drupin | it wont get more than 4 GB if i put to use all of one partition | 10:43 |
| ripdisk_ | why would it say UNKNOWN when i know it's NTFS | 10:44 |
| jrib | jhker: yes, but like I said, not all files in your /etc may be owned by root... | 10:44 |
| ripdisk_ | cuz now it won't let me mount | 10:44 |
| jhker | jrib: can you please clarify this further - i'm not sure i understand | 10:44 |
| jrib | jhker: there are files in your /etc that have ownership other than root, not sure what else I can say | 10:44 |
| xkill | drupin; right cuz its not making a normal .iso that you would download from the website | 10:44 |
| drupin | i am doing a full install to the USB from the live usb in in now | 10:45 |
| jhker | jrib: 'other than root' do you mean I've created another problem by making them all 'root' ? | 10:45 |
| ripdisk_ | I'M trying to mount an ntfs partition..... but it looks broken because the informationa bout the partition says it's an unknown filesystem..... but it's a win7 partition so it should be ntfs.....when I mount using the -t ntfs or wjhatever it says not a valid ntfs, but when I Take that part away, it says I have to specifi the type of filsystem. | 10:45 |
| jrib | jhker: it depends on what you have installed. Some packages will install files in /etc that have different ownership | 10:45 |
| jrib | jhker: most (and I think all the default files in /etc) will be owned by root | 10:46 |
| ripdisk_ | anybody have any clue why it would say UNKNOWN when I Know the filesystem of the partition is NTFS?\ | 10:46 |
| xkill | you said you just wanted to overcome the 4gb limit for persistent live mode. if all you wanted to do was install all you had to do was install to a blank USB and be done with it | 10:46 |
| jhker | jrib: understood - well this has definitely been a lesson in being loose at my fingertips... | 10:46 |
| jhker | jrib: you mentioned something about using 'su -' instead of 'su' whats the reason for this? | 10:47 |
| jrib | jhker: su - will simulate a login and reset the environment | 10:47 |

| nikozzzzzz | so we should deprive itfrom one gateway | 10:56 |
| nikozzzzzz | sudo | 10:56 |
| nikozzzzzz | type sudo in front of yiur command | 10:56 |
| nikozzzzzz | sudo ifup wlan0 up | 10:57 |
| nikozzzzzz | this could also do the trick | 10:57 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: there is no wlan0 interface at that point | 10:57 |
| thufir_ | nikozzzzzz: I dunno, I thought there was something which changed a few years ago about that. it wasn't deprecated? | 10:58 |
| thufir_ | nikozzzzzz: startx I mean | 10:58 |
| nikozzzzzz | no startx runs ok as i know it. | 10:58 |
| nikozzzzzz | then insert your wlan instead of wlan0 | 10:59 |
| andornaut | nikozzzzzz: I couldn't get it to work via network manager, so I just disabled hotplug for eth0 and set it up via /etc/network/interfaces (left wlan0 managed by netman). Works now, thanks. | 10:59 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: if I type ifconfig, it only shows eth0 and lo | 10:59 |
| nikozzzzzz | or type 'sudo' in front of your command | 10:59 |
| sivizius | hi | 10:59 |
| thufir_ | nikozzzzzz: thanks | 11:00 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: I just did sudo -s | 11:00 |
| nikozzzzzz | systemclient yes it should do it. nomatterhow you obtain root previligies) | 11:00 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: the thing is: if I call that nmcli command from my user, it works. When I call it as root, it works. But if I as root call `bash -c 'nmcli …' me`, it does not work | 11:01 |

| ardian_ | Hi All how do I know what graphic driver I am using, my card is nvidia | 11:03 |
| nikozzzzzz | maybe you should write a full path to the program you run from root | 11:03 |
| nikozzzzzz | you are using nouveau if you installed ubuntu | 11:04 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: it works now … that is strange … | 11:04 |
| nikozzzzzz | it works when? you did somth or it just worked? | 11:05 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: I entered it into the console and it worked … | 11:05 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: but my udev script does not work yet … | 11:05 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: at least I did not see it work yet … | 11:05 |
| AceKing | I installed 12.04 onto a HP Pavillion DV-5500 laptop, and it keeps freezing. I think it's the graphics card that's causing it, which is a Nvidia GeForce Go 7150M. Anyone have any ideas on getting this to work? | 11:05 |
| nikozzzzzz | that is strange o.o | 11:05 |
| nikozzzzzz | it may be the kernel | 11:06 |
| nikozzzzzz | that freezes your notebook. or the fancontrol.do your fans spin? | 11:06 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: well udev call script A as root, which then calls script B via `su -c B --login me` | 11:07 |
| esing | Hmm | 11:07 |
| esing | How can I switch audiospeakers in Ubuntu by key | 11:07 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: oh … I tested it with bash -c, not with su -c … | 11:08 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: so yeah: su -c 'nmcli nm wifi on' me does *not* work | 11:08 |
| systemclient | although as me, I can run that command | 11:08 |
| nikozzzzzz | script calls script..hm | 11:08 |
| nikozzzzzz | did you try searhing google for the problem? | 11:08 |
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: since udev is root, and my script should run as the logged in user | 11:08 |
| === Abbas- is now known as Abbas| | ||
| systemclient | nikozzzzzz: I guess I just call nmci from A, that would work | 11:09 |
| nikozzzzzz | sorry cant help you with that(( i dont have a deep enough understanding | 11:10 |
| nikozzzzzz | there must be other ways for udev to run as user | 11:10 |

| drupin | i have primary->mount point "/" -fat16 ...... primary->label-casper-rw mount point /home -ext2 .... | 11:22 |
| drupin | it says files system cannot be mounted on / as its not a fully-functional unix file system | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | drupin: / being fat16 does sound pretty much insane | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | how on earth did you get to this situation? | 11:24 |
| drupin | some one told be here its fast | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | pouring a gallon of petrol on the floor and lighting it is a fast way of warming your house up | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | it doesn't mean that's a good idea | 11:25 |
| drupin | so i make fat 32 | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | no | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | fat filesystems are too limited to use for Linux | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | needs to be ext2, ext3 or ext4 | 11:26 |
| gordonjcp | there's no good reason not to use ext4 on modernish disks | 11:26 |
| drupin | ok i use ext2 then | 11:26 |
| gordonjcp | no, use ext4 | 11:26 |
| gordonjcp | ext2 is ancient | 11:26 |

| drupin | yes | 11:28 |
| systemclient | btrfs should have the nicest load balancing … | 11:28 |
| gordonjcp | drupin: ext2 is dangerous because if you don't unmount cleanly you can lose data | 11:29 |
| gordonjcp | drupin: the solution is, try not to do that | 11:29 |
| drupin | then ext3 | 11:29 |
| drupin | what mount point i give to casper-rw drive | 11:30 |

| === piratenagchat is now known as amogorkon | ||
| esing | Only accessing it with command line does not work | 12:06 |
| sudhi | esing: either fix-up your fstab or let nautilus/gnome mount it; then you can use CLI to access (ls /media/MyHDDvolume/blah/blah) | 12:06 |
| guntbert_ | Troy^: open the site manager, there under "protocol" | 12:07 |
| sudhi | esing: look under /media | 12:07 |
| sudhi | in fact, browse using nautilus, go to File System -> media | 12:07 |
| sudhi | then under there you will see your second HDD with partitions and all, and their respective labels | 12:07 |
| esing | Yes, after I entered the drive with nautilus I can access them with command line but opening it each time first through nautilus is not practical | 12:08 |
| sudhi | thats the exact path you will be able to access from CLI; cd /media/MyVolume/some/path/file.doc | 12:08 |
| Troy^ | guntbert_: thank you very much | 12:08 |
| guntbert_ | Troy^: You're welcome | 12:08 |

| esing | sudhi Thanks, I will read about that | 12:09 |
| sudhi | !fstab | 12:09 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 12:09 |
| sudhi | esing: ^ | 12:09 |

| Dr_willis | backup your original fstab file in any case. ;) | 12:11 |
| dzup | dominis patris espiritus santi ... | 12:11 |
| sudhi | the best way is to put their mount location at the install time itself, just use any random /data1 or /windows1 etc. letters | 12:13 |
| esing | How do I find the UUID of my harddrive out? | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | !blkid | 12:14 |

| blackshirt | yes, i have read it more a times | 12:19 |
| iqualfragile | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 12:19 |
| iqualfragile | 127.0.1.1 name.domain.local name | 12:19 |
| iqualfragile | # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts | 12:20 |
| ukebane | iqualfragile: I fixed my gnome-shell problem | 12:20 |
| yeats | iqualfragile: have you looked at the openldap site? they have a FAQ page that might help: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/53.html | 12:20 |
| blackshirt | But i can't follow your link for now, because i'm on handheld device | 12:20 |
| iqualfragile | yeats: yeah, but it seems like there could be a fault in the server-guide, so im asking here | 12:21 |
| blackshirt | iqualfragile, so ...? | 12:21 |
| ukebane | I downloaded gnome-shell-3.4.2.tar.xz and extracted the panel.js, fixed my problem :) | 12:21 |
| iqualfragile | now i have installed the open-ldap-server | 12:21 |
| iqualfragile | apt-get install slapd ldap-utils | 12:21 |
| yeats | iqualfragile: this channel is *mostly* desktop support - there is also #ubuntu-server, but it sounds like your problem is with the program not the platform (i.e., the OS) | 12:21 |
| blackshirt | yeats, it doesn't a matter.. | 12:22 |
| blackshirt | iqualfragile, just to the point what the problem is | 12:22 |
| esing | Can I put my UUID in here or is that sensible information? | 12:22 |
| iqualfragile | and then i tried to execute "ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config dn " copied 1:1 from the guide (i just removed the sude at the beginnig as im having a root-shell) | 12:22 |
| iqualfragile | and now it says: | 12:23 |
| iqualfragile | ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) | 12:23 |
| yeats | blackshirt: I'm just trying to direct him to where he might get the best expertise | 12:23 |
| esing | Is this correct? UUID=76E8B1B9E8B175C7 /ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 | 12:23 |
| iqualfragile | when runnig it with -vvv it says: | 12:23 |
| sudhi | iqualfragile: I think #ubuntu-server people or much better #ldap folks will help you out | 12:23 |
| blackshirt | yeats, sure ... Just suggest him | 12:23 |
| iqualfragile | ldap_initialize( ldapi:///??base ) | 12:23 |
| iqualfragile | ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error (-2) | 12:23 |
| yeats | blackshirt: I did | 12:24 |
| iqualfragile | thanks | 12:24 |
| esing | Also does it matter how many spaces I have between the words, or does it not matter and the table figures itself out? | 12:24 |
| sudhi | iqualfragile: try #openldap than #ldap | 12:24 |
| gsteinert | afternoon all =) | 12:24 |
| iqualfragile | if blackshirt is unable to help me im gona look there | 12:24 |
| sudhi | esing: put the mount point in front of / | 12:24 |

| gsteinert | i'm having some rather odd samba-related issues. i have a couple of samba shares on a linux box. When accessing these shares from my windows 8 machine (and a windows 7 laptop i have lying around) the files display and work correctly, but any folders are shown as zero-length files. I have tried enabling WINS support as found in one forum post, but nothing else I could find on google describes | 12:25 |
| gsteinert | my particular problem | 12:25 |
| iqualfragile | but there is not much to do wrong… | 12:25 |
| gsteinert | has anyone had any similar problems? | 12:25 |
| esing | sudhi Oh if I would have rebooted like this my PC would have been messed up? | 12:25 |

| gsteinert | yeats: i have done, it seems to be rather dead in there. no worries, I'll keep trying google =) | 12:26 |
| esing | Alright i reboot now and see if it works | 12:27 |
| blackshirt | iqualfragile, i have play with that guide and nothing goes wrong | 12:27 |
| sudhi | esing: yes, that sounds better, but does the directory /media/philipp exists? why don't you save your fstab and issue "sudo mount -a"? | 12:27 |
| blackshirt | iqualfragile, your error says some local error | 12:28 |
| sudhi | that'll tell you if there are any problems | 12:28 |
| esing | sudhi That directory does not exist. Because the drive is already mounted so mount -a does not work | 12:28 |
| sudhi | esing: then unmount it (make sure you aren't accessing it from browser/player), and repeat | 12:29 |
| blackshirt | esing, you should passing remount options to mount command if you want to remount | 12:29 |
| esing | I created the folder now I will try to unmount now | 12:29 |
| sudhi | blackshirt: nah, he just wants to check his fstab, no need to remount | 12:29 |

| tsimpson | e-v-o: use the wuby installer, it allows you to install Ubuntu directly from windows (as if it was an application) and will not touch any partitions etc | 13:16 |

| === Guest85114 is now known as z0rr0 | ||
| BluesKaj | !wubi | 13:17 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 13:17 |
| tsimpson | !wubi | 13:17 |
| tsimpson | yes, spelling is required :) | 13:17 |
| e-v-o | tsimpson: where does it install it to?! | 13:17 |
| jrib | njr: google lies :x | 13:17 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: to a file on the disk | 13:17 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: it even comes with an easy uninstaller | 13:18 |
| e-v-o | so it runs virtualised over windows?! | 13:18 |

| iwert | sudo apt-get install skype, there is no skype on ubunto? | 13:18 |

| tsimpson | e-v-o: no, it's fully native, it's just that instead of running from a partition, it runs from a file | 13:19 |
| truexfan81 | ok funny question | 13:19 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: the system fully boots into Ubuntu, just from a file located on the windows filesystem | 13:19 |
| e-v-o | do you still get dual boot? | 13:19 |
| truexfan81 | i'm installing 12.04 minimal on my pc right now | 13:19 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: yes, you get the option of Windows (default) or Ubuntu | 13:19 |
| truexfan81 | my question is, if i choose not to install a de, will it automatically install xorg when i add the ppa and install mate later? | 13:20 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: it actually uses the windows boot loader, rather than grub, so it's just using the existing windows boot process | 13:20 |
| e-v-o | what if we decide to wipe windows in the future? | 13:20 |
| jrib | truexfan81: it should, unless the packager did something weird... | 13:20 |
| truexfan81 | i think that is what i will do then | 13:20 |
| === Guest95655 is now known as xazax_ | ||
| tsimpson | e-v-o: you can just put the Ubuntu CD in and reboot, then do an install. think of wubi as a test-drive, but without the slow live CD | 13:21 |
| truexfan81 | keep it as minimal as possible for max speed, even tho its a dualcore 2.9 lol | 13:21 |
| truexfan81 | was using mint 13 before, deicded i wanted something lighter/faster | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | !xorg | truexfan81 | 13:21 |
| ubottu | truexfan81: The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution .

| savio | hey pals | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, xorg.conf is no longer default afaik | 13:22 |
| truexfan81 | huh? | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | but you can generate on if you wish | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | one | 13:23 |
| e-v-o | tsimpson: what's the risk of damage to Windows is I use bi as compared to normal dual boot install? | 13:23 |
| e-v-o | *if | 13:23 |
| savio | i having problem on my dell inspiron 15r while chaging my brightness cause system to freez | 13:23 |

| savio | i refer this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/140002/brightness-keys-in-dell-n4010-14r-causing-freezes but not really applied it | 13:23 |
| truexfan81 | oh, yeah it will make one when i run sudo nvidia-xconfig after installing the nvidia drivers | 13:23 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: well, as wubi doesn't touch any partitions, there's really no real risk at all | 13:23 |
| savio | is this helpful or anyone has any solution | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, yup | 13:24 |
| jrib | njr: so where did you read that you could install it with apt-get? | 13:24 |
| Romance | what does "Block size 18874368" means ? | 13:24 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: i've been running ubuntu/mint for a year and a half so i know a little | 13:24 |
| e-v-o | so the only downside is that if I want to remove windows in the future Ubuntu will also be wiped and require a fresh installation? | 13:24 |
| njr | jrib: sorry, I misread... its only available as a package for 12.10. Sorry for the trouble | 13:25 |
| jrib | njr: no problem | 13:25 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: yes, because the Ubuntu "disk" is just hosted on the already existing Windows filesystem, and there's no easy way to get that on to a physical partition | 13:26 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: the fun part will be typing that long mate ppa link in text only mode lol | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, I assume ppl do have some knowledge , but it's difficult to know where and how much | 13:26 |
| iwert | whats a good IDE on ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: i hear ya | 13:27 |
| e-v-o | ok. how about installing Ubuntu on a USB drive? How does the speed compare to hdd installation? | 13:27 |
| ChogyDan | iwert: never was able to figure that out myself | 13:27 |
| rsser | how do you know if your wireless card supports ad-hoc network on ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| tsimpson | e-v-o: that mostly depends on the hardware, USB 2.0 will be quicker than USB 1, but other than that it's not too different | 13:28 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: i do use a seperate home partition, so this way i will be able to restore my de and app settings with a copy/paste from my mint home folder :) | 13:28 |

| e-v-o | sweet! thank you very much for your help. Now on a different topic, how risky is it to install Ubuntu alongside OS X on a macbook pro 2011? | 13:33 |
| Boffy | hello! does anyone know if Asus Eee PC 1015BX works well with Ubuntu (or one of it's derivatives) and also how strong is actually AMD FUSION DualCore C60-1.0Ghz? Let's say compared to P3 800 or something sicne i dont' know these new CPU much | 13:33 |
| iwert | what is this gedit window, its a blank window | 13:34 |
| truexfan81 | ok am in the new text only install lol | 13:34 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: i'm about to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/87040/how-to-install-mate | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | e-v-o, any new install comes with risks | 13:34 |
| truexfan81 | actually i think i'm gonna do a apt-get update/upgrade first | 13:35 |
| prova21 | I've noticed there are 2 kernels in Precise: one with -pae support, another without it. Can I remove the not-pae, because of its uselessness and lack of space? | 13:35 |

| e-v-o | BluesKaj: I recognise that, hence why I'm trying to get an opinion front he community before jumping in ; ) | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, well , good luck ...prefer KDE myself :) | 13:35 |
| * sddddddddddddddd irsso seems to be awful | 13:36 | |
| truexfan81 | why is it saying add-apt-repository: command not found? | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | e-v-o, there are lots of successful dual boots on macs these days , It's mostly positive from all accounts | 13:38 |
| truexfan81 | halp | 13:39 |
| blackshirt | what the problem truexfan81 | 13:39 |
| truexfan81 | blackshirt: "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found" | 13:40 |
| Romance | sudo apt-get install python-software-properties | 13:40 |
| blackshirt | are you working on ubuntu truexfant81? | 13:40 |
| truexfan81 | blackshirt: yes, 12.04 minimal | 13:40 |
| blackshirt | Romance, i think that was default installed | 13:41 |

| Romance | he is minimalist | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, drop the quotes in that ppa , if that's whatyou're trying | 13:42 |
| truexfan81 | BluesKaj: what Romance said fixed it, installed python-software-properties | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, I can't say i've ever seen that command | 13:44 |
| Josh | Well, How can I restrict application access from multiple users? | 13:44 |
| truexfan81 | it works | 13:44 |
| Josh | That is, say if I have tmux installed | 13:44 |
| Josh | (and I am admin) It can be used by anyone (any user on this computer) currently | 13:44 |
| Josh | How to restrict that? | 13:45 |
| Josh | is it by doing chmod 700 ? | 13:46 |

| Lantizia | Lo, you know how you can make GRUB boot a file disk image that has DOS inside it so you can do BIOS updates? Well can you do that but with Windows instead? (useful for other firmware updates) | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | truexfan81, nice :) | 13:48 |
| truexfan81 | crap | 13:49 |
| Lantizia | esing, you could give the Linux version of Avast! a go | 13:49 |
| truexfan81 | forgot to turn cool and quiet off in the bios lol ohwell, i can do it next time i reboot | 13:49 |
| esing | Lantizia My software center does not find AVAST | 13:51 |
| pbjorklund | Nm, it "magically started working". | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis | Lantizia, grub2 can boot ISO images. there may be a freedos/dr-dos iso image out you could use | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | Lantizia, you could try with a windows iso. but i doubt if it will work | 13:53 |
| DoctorD90 | Someone know how force openssh to point to user's home trougth sftp, without disabled ssh? | 13:53 |
| subcool | question... - ok can i install BIOS updates via Ubuntu and Wine? | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | subcool, i would doubt if that will work | 13:54 |
| subcool | Dr_willis: so i can only do a bios update via windows?? | 13:54 |
| subcool | thats kinda silly... :/ | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | subcool, my pc's have a bios update feature in the bios.. | 13:54 |
| kingnebex | how can i clear youtube cookies on firefox? | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | subcool, totally depends on the pc/bios/mb/hardware | 13:55 |
| subcool | Dr_willis: im on HP's website, and i only have win.exe update with a crappy bios interface.. - | 13:55 |

| iwert | i want to play minecraft | 14:00 |
| iwert | but i need java6 jdk | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | !java | 14:00 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 14:00 |
| esing | What package should I download: RPM / DEB or TAR GZ . I would guess DEB because Debian and Ubuntu are similar? | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | esing, deb - but what are you downloading? | 14:00 |
| esing | Dr_willis An Antivirus programm called "Avast" | 14:01 |
| ChogyDan | iwert: you probably want oracle java | 14:01 |
| iwert | i have the sdk | 14:01 |
| esing | Dr_Willis I do not find it through my software center | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | esing, you really need it? theres clamav in the repos. | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | the AVG company has really gotten me annoyed at them lately. | 14:01 |
| esing | Dr_willis Not sure, if clamAV is sufficient I'd not need Avast | 14:01 |
| iwert | why is the software senter so outdated | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | avast did have a live cd.. | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | iwert, its not.. ubuntu has a 6 month release cycle. so every 6 mo stuff gets updated in the n ext release. | 14:02 |

| BluesKaj | !rpm | 14:04 |

| jrib | prashant_123456: if you know regex, the "rename" command will be your friend. See « man rename » for some basic usage and examples. Also note you should test what your command will do by running it with "-n" (it will do a dry run and only tell you what would happen if you omit the -n) | 14:26 |

| crancko | Merlin after making changes to /etc/network/interfaces do I need 2 reboot? | 14:28 |
| |Merlin| | Yes, either reboot or restart the network service so it scans that file again | 14:29 |
| crancko | Merlin tried to restart network-manager still no IP | 14:29 |
| blackshirt | crancko, no..just restart networking scrip | 14:29 |
| crancko | rebooting old pc now | 14:29 |
| Guest57289 | . | 14:29 |
| |Merlin| | Roger... | 14:29 |
| crancko | old pc sloooow | 14:29 |
| prashant_123456 | jrib, yes i m in my directory | 14:30 |
| |Merlin| | lol...I know that feeling | 14:30 |
| blackshirt | crancko, you make a misunderstanding | 14:30 |
| N03L | Any Unix language experts? | 14:30 |
| rsser | where can I find support for 8189 realtek semiconductore corp. RTL8187B wireless 802.11g 54mbps network adapter? | 14:30 |
| crancko | blackshirt, ok what did I get wrong? | 14:30 |
| blackshirt | n03l, what you need? | 14:31 |
| rsser | the id is 0bda:8189 | 14:31 |
| blackshirt | Crancko, let's me explain | 14:31 |
| crancko | yes pls | 14:31 |
| jrib | prashant_123456: alright, well the basic syntax for rename is « rename -n 's/foo/bar/' file1 file2 ... » where "foo" is what you want to replace and "bar" is what you want to replace it with. Now "foo" is a regular expression which is basically like globbing in the terminal but more powerful. One example, is you can use character classes to mean "any character of this type". So for example, "[0-9]" means | 14:31 |
| jrib | and digit 0-9. So let's try this for starters and see what the result is: rename -n 's/[0-9]/X/' * . It is very important that you remember the "-n" since this command doesn't do what you actually want to do (but is a good start) | 14:31 |
| === Guest57289 is now known as Ares99 | ||
| jrib | prashant_123456: let me know when you are done with that and if you have any questions | 14:31 |
| prashant_123456 | jrib, wait please | 14:32 |
| jrib | prashant_123456: sure | 14:32 |
| Calinou | N03L: unix is not a programming language, you mean shell? | 14:32 |
| Calinou | this is not a programming channel | 14:33 |
| blackshirt | Crancko, for default desktop ubuntu, network was handled by network manager | 14:33 |
| Cong | is there no way to empty the rubbish bin on a usb storage device? | 14:33 |
| N03L | What are the benefits of learning Unix? | 14:33 |
| jrib | Cong: unmounting doesn't do it? I vaguely remember that suggestion once | 14:34 |
| prashant_123456 | jrib, yes now i get what is foo and what is bar | 14:34 |
| clamscan | hi | 14:34 |
| Cong | Nope, jrib. | 14:34 |
| prashant_123456 | but now i want to know that all my files are .mp3 | 14:34 |
| clamscan | anyone using clamav? | 14:34 |
| crancko | blackshirt; so How can I make needed changes? | 14:34 |
| fidel | !anyone > clamscan | 14:35 |
| ubottu | clamscan, please see my private message | 14:35 |
| blackshirt | crancko, and /etc/network/interfaces was typically for server network configuration | 14:35 |
| prashant_123456 | jrib, yes and also i have to remove first 2 characters | 14:35 |
| andornaut | Im trying to position my external monitor (connected to my laptop) to the left of the laptop screen, but I can't get it to work. It works fine when positioned to the right. Here's my xorg.conf. If I switch the metamodes lines I get a cloned display instead of positioning it with the specified offset: http://pastebin.com/HLaHNUKn Any ideas? | 14:35 |
| clamscan | how can i get a list of infected files after i 've run "clamscan -l logfile -rvi directory/ | 14:35 |
| clamscan | " | 14:35 |
| clamscan | ? | 14:35 |
| crancko | ok, how to get old pc on home network via network manager? | 14:35 |
| Cong | Aren't there any ways to empty the bin without removing the usb storage? | 14:36 |
| andornaut | (note if I set it with xrandr --output LDVS-0 --pos XxY it works as expected, but not if those same settings are in xorg.conf | 14:36 |
| fidel | clamscan: try asking in #clamav aswell ;) | 14:36 |
| blackshirt | Crancko, if you want to use /etc/network/interfaces files instead through network manager configuration, you should set manage= false to NetworkManager.conf | 14:36 |
| Doxin | I'm having some trouble receiving tv using my tuner. plugging the cable into a tv finds ~20 channels. plugging it into my pc finds 4. what gives? | 14:37 |
| clamscan | fidel: ok, so what? have you ever used clamav? | 14:37 |
| jrib | prashant_123456: cool. So you see in its current state 's/[0-9]/X' replaces one digit with X. We want to change that a bit. First off we want to make sure the digit is at the beginning of the file name. The '^' character is used to denote the beginning. The other thing we want to do is match not just one digit, but exactly two. We could do this by writing our expression as '^[0-9][0-9]', but there's a | 14:37 |
| jrib | slightly nicer way. We can use {2} to mean do the last type of match twice. So our final result will look like '^[0-9]{2}'. This means match at the beginning, exactly 2 digits (0-9). And our final command will be: « rename -n 's/^[0-9]{2}//' * ». Give that a try | 14:37 |
| crancko | blackshirt I now try lilve cd first, then I will check ur tips | 14:37 |
| jrib | prashant_123456: check and see if that looks right | 14:38 |
| clamscan | very helpful -_- | 14:38 |
| blackshirt | crancko, but if you need your network managed by network manager, you shouldn't configure your /etc/network/interfaces, or just for lo for loopback... And you can configure your network through network manager settings | 14:39 |
| jrib | Cong: I don't know then :/ What happens when you try to use the GUI to empty trash? You could always just delete the relevant directory on the usb, but again, I don't know if there is a better way | 14:39 |
| clamscan | found, the string is 'FOUND'. thanks anyway | 14:39 |
| blackshirt | crancko, that's you should understand basically | 14:40 |
| Cong | That's the problem. I have stuff in the system rubbish bin, and the files from the usb get mixed with the ones on the system, and emptying it will remove the others that are in the other rubbish bin aswell, jirb. | 14:41 |
| jrib | Cong: I see. Well is just deleting the trash directory on the usb a possibility? | 14:42 |
| BlueWolf | Hi, I have a new Canon Pixma MG2140 all in one printer and when I use XSane to try scan documents it says - no devices available, I have got it to print so how can I get it to scan? | 14:42 |
| Cong | I tried that. That still empties the system rubbish bin aswell. | 14:43 |
| blackshirt | bluwolf, not playing with scan and this devices before,sorry guys | 14:43 |
| jrib | Cong: that sounds odd. What did you delete exactly? | 14:43 |
| Cong | Oh, you mean delete the Trash-xxxx? | 14:43 |
| jrib | Cong: yep | 14:43 |
| Cong | No hacks please. | 14:44 |
| jrib | Cong: ah. Don't know then :) | 14:44 |
| Cong | :( | 14:44 |
| jrib | Cong: you could log in as a new user and then empty the trash, though you probably consider that a hack too | 14:44 |
| crancko | blackshirt + Merlin thx 4 all the hlp but I could not get it 2 work, my know how is to small - liveCD let me see the files I need | 14:45 |
| === ljkndlnalk is now known as sha512 | ||
| fidel | Cong: you could (however) parse the trash-metadata in Trash/info and select based on that info - as those filescontains the original trash-item path (but that would be another scripted hack) | 14:45 |
| tim442 | BlueWolf: not had experience with that device, but i've found on other printers, the scan button does not properly intiate a scan, but using the scanning application in ubuntu to initiate will properly start the scan | 14:45 |
| blackshirt | crancko, not a matter ... | 14:45 |
| |Merlin| | crancko, you are welcome...sorry it didn't work but glad you got what you needed | 14:45 |
| crancko | I use liveCD 4 now and learn later :) | 14:45 |
| prashant_123456 | jrib, yes thanks | 14:46 |
| Cong | There should be a standard way to delete files from just the usb storage. For now there doesn't seem to be one. | 14:46 |
| crancko | Is like stopping 2 smoke, or loose weight - there is always 2 morrow | 14:46 |
| tim442 | Cong, show hidden files, delete .Trash folder? | 14:46 |

| gaelfx | I've got a fresh install of lubuntu 12.04 running here, and my sound doesn't work. I've installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol, and despite those going off without a hitch, still no sound, what else can I do to get sound working? | 14:47 |
| blackshirt | gaelfx, have you have restricted extras installed? | 14:47 |
| BlueWolf | tim442: I did use a scanning application called Xsane, simplescan, scanner utility and scan tailor and they all fail to pick up the scanner. I have managed to get the printer to work well now it's just the scanner? | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | gaelfx, do aplay -l in the terminal ...need to know your card | 14:48 |
| tim442 | BlueWolf: is it a network attached device? or direct USB? | 14:48 |
| BlueWolf | tim442: Direct USB. | 14:48 |
| gaelfx | er, can someone remind me how to send the output of one command as the input for pastebinit? | 14:51 |
| BluesKaj | !pastebinit | 14:51 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 14:52 |
| gaelfx | BluesKaj: thanks | 14:52 |
| Cong | I've removed the usb storage. The rubbish bin file count is more than the actual files in the rubbish bin. Emptying it still show the filled icon. | 14:52 |
| Cong | As I recall there files aren't in that rubbish bin, they are in the usb storage. | 14:53 |
| tim442 | BlueWolf: it seems the german canon website lists a lot of linux related items, but the USA version has virtually nothing. maybe some searching on the .de site will help you | 14:54 |

| BluesKaj | gaelfx, looks like you hdmi output is the default..is this what you want , or dom you wnat the analog out as default ? | 14:56 |
| ogra_ | BlueWolf, google translate ;) | 14:56 |
| gsteinert | BlueWolf: that's what google translate was made for =) | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | gaelfx, you can make the choice in pavucontrol | 14:57 |
| BlueWolf | gsteinert: ogra_: Thanks, I was hoping I would not have to go to that extra effort. ;-) | 14:57 |

| ThinkT510 | !terminal | N03L | 15:00 |
| ubottu | N03L: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 15:00 |
| N03L | Any in particular that you could recommend? | 15:00 |
| blackshirt | n03l, linuxcommand.org | 15:01 |
| gsteinert | N03L: i know there are people who will disagree with me, but I found the best way was to decide what I wanted to accomplish then google the hell out of it. you'll develop a much deeper understanding of the inner workings of unix/linux/wahtever it is you're using by fixing mistakes and errors that any book could ever teach you | 15:01 |
| gaelfx | BluesKaj: there's a Set as Fallback button on each device, but I'm not really sure which one is actually set as the fallback, the icons in there are kind of confusing :P | 15:01 |
| _Trullo | anyone able to help me find this file: jdk-6u5-linux-i586.bin ? | 15:01 |
| ThinkT510 | !java | _Trullo | 15:02 |
| ubottu | _Trullo: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 15:02 |
| Dr_willis | Linux/Unix can be thought of as being 'tool' focused. where you find what tools used in what order to get to the end goal you want.. windows tends to be 'task' focused. you find the one tool that does exactly what you want. | 15:02 |

| araxis | blackshirt, i was given a few older servers and i am planning to run 2 of them. i was wondering if its feasible to install ubuntu to both of them | 15:12 |
| araxis | i guess ermm, thats not a good description of what i want.. | 15:12 |
| blackshirt | how older your server? | 15:12 |
| dubaco | Hi, a friend has asked me to fix there px, i read an article from someone in a magasine about how they used a bootable usb to clean there windows drive from a virus, have you any idea how i can clean the windows drive on my friends machine. I have booted into a her machine via a usb drive, the graphics wont work can you help me scan the windows drive using clamav on the usb ubuntu? | 15:12 |
| dubaco | pc* | 15:12 |
| gaelfx | BluesKaj: I just figured it out, it seems no matter which I set fallback to, it defaults to hdmi | 15:13 |
| araxis | i wanted to have these 2 servers work together or act as one system, i dont know if thats a reasonable expectation | 15:13 |
| fidel | araxis: what for? or why? | 15:13 |
| araxis | they're really old, like, original xeons i believe | 15:13 |
| blackshirt | araxis, yes..you can | 15:13 |
| araxis | no particular reason fidel, i just got these servers because i wanted to play around with the hardware and stuff | 15:14 |
| esing | I followed this instruction but nautilus does not inhabit the options mentioned in the instructions http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/06/how-to-hide-mounted-drives-from-ubuntu.html | 15:14 |

| zal | ubuntu tv server | 15:14 |
| araxis | i thought it would be cool to explore set up one server, then i thought it would be cooler to have multiple machines be connected together | 15:14 |
| blackshirt | esing, sorry, i can't follow your link given | 15:14 |
| esing | solved | 15:14 |
| araxis | the long term goal isnt much, probably host my mud on it, and maybe others | 15:15 |
| esing | blackshirt solved, it was because the tutorial was for ubuntu 11 (not unity) | 15:15 |
| esing | blackshirt instead i need to use this command: gconftool --set /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/devices_option --type=int 0 | 15:15 |
| blackshirt | araxis, you will learn some great thing... | 15:15 |

| araxis | complicated for me anyway | 15:16 |
| gaelfx | BluesKaj: done | 15:16 |

| araxis | jerrrys: indeed i do :) | 15:23 |
| blackshirt | araxis, maybe better for server edition on it | 15:23 |
| fidel | araxis: installing a virtual machine software on your desktop, start that vm-software and define 2 virtual hosts/machines. install any os you want in those vms - set the network up for all vm's and there you go. virtualbox or vmware are known vm-solutions. no need for having extra hardware powered up 24x7 | 15:23 |
| fidel | at the end its about what & how you want to play ... both virtual or real machines might do the job depending what you need/want. wasjust trying to point that out araxis | 15:24 |
| araxis | blackshirt: i currently only have 1 server running and it has server edition installed on it, 12.04. so far all ive done is setup ssh so i can use the command line from my desktop | 15:25 |

| araxis | jerrrys: but when i started them up and they had windows 2003 server installed, they ran really smooth and quickly. im guessing i didnt give the dual cpu thing enough credit, or maybe its the scsi drives | 15:31 |

| ogra_ | _DiviC_, on linux you usually dont need vendor drivers | 16:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | _DiviC_: Here's the strategy I used back when I didn't buy thinkpads: type 'lspci' and find the sound card | 16:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | _DiviC_: then throw the entire line into google, in quotes. | 16:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | _DiviC_: it'll say something like 'audio device' in lspci | 16:32 |
| _DiviC_ | Oh, I'll try that right away. While I'm doing that you could think of my other problem. Everything freezes in short periods where I can't interact with anything. The mouse and keyboard still works fine, but can't click or write anything. | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | _DiviC_: either something is seriously taxing your cpu or its a graphics driver problem | 16:36 |

Both the routers are configured for ssh on port 22. I'm able to ssh within systems in the same network but not from outside. I'm facing this problem only after trying dydns option in the routers. I later changed the config to its previous working state. Now, I always get "ssh_exchange_identification: | 16:53 |
| orated | Connection closed by remote host" error. How can I fix this? | 16:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | and are you following them? | 16:53 |
| jnb | however they advise you log in as root user | 16:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | jnb, sudo [command] will do the same thing | 16:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | ubuntu has no root user per se | 16:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | !root | jnb | 16:53 |
| ubottu | jnb: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:53 |

| gsteinert | orated, seems like a network issue.. is port 22 being forwarded properly by both routers? | 16:54 |
| Muelli | ohmygoddess: how do you that there is an error? | 16:55 |
| phyrexianslug | If you ever want to set a root password: sudo passwd root | 16:55 |
| ohmygoddess | if I restart my system, the error shows up | 16:55 |
| ohmygoddess | even the windows system | 16:55 |
| Muelli | ohmygoddess: where does it show up? | 16:55 |
| gsteinert | ohmygoddess, does it get past the bootloader? | 16:55 |
| jnb | I just want to run autorun that came with the samsung package | 16:56 |
| jnb | simple question | 16:56 |
| orated | gsteinert: Yes, I checked that back again In the first router its forwarded to 192.168.1.4 for SSH 22 TCP followed in next wireless router for port 22 to 192.168.10.101 | 16:56 |
| gsteinert | ohmygoddess, by that i mean do you ever see anything that say linux, ubuntu or windows when booting? | 16:56 |
| ohmygoddess | yes, it get past the bootloader, I can press any key or not | 16:56 |
| jnb | what command allows your to run or install a software | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | jnb, right, just follow the install isntructions they gave you | 16:56 |
| Muelli | jnb: there is no such thing as "autorun". that doesn't make sense. | 16:56 |
| jnb | it needs me to log in as root user | 16:56 |
| orated | gsteinert: Same configuration used to work before | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | jnb, and where is say to do stuff as root you prefix the command with sudo | 16:56 |
| jnb | sudo and then what install | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | jnb, if they want you to run all commands as root, just prefix all of them with sudo ;) | 16:57 |
| jnb | will someone just answer the question what is the command to install in terminal | 16:57 |
| ogra_ | jnb, the command from the instructions | 16:57 |
| Muelli | jnb: use "sudo -s" and you're "logged in as root". done. | 16:57 |
| ohmygoddess | Muelli: it shows up before the accounts appears | 16:57 |
| Muelli | ohmygoddess: well, can you make a screenshot or anything, because it's entirely unclear to me where you get "an error". | 16:57 |
| sklo | hello, grub2 problem - every time i restart, i got messed up disks once is sdB another time sdC any1 has i clue how to fix it or manage it? | 16:58 |
| gsteinert | orated, it seems like the ssh server isn't responding - or refusing the connection. check the config and make sure it's listening on the right interface | 16:58 |
| ogra_ | ohmygoddess, and what doesnt work for you (apart from you seeing an info message on the screen) ? | 16:58 |
| Muelli | sklo: you use uuids. Not partition names. | 16:58 |
| sklo | Muelli i thought i did | 16:58 |
| sklo | Muelli ty thought | 16:59 |
| ohmygoddess | orga_: everything works fine, just the message is annoying | 16:59 |
| Muelli | jnb: In Ubuntu we install software using the software centre or "apt-get install". If third parties do not want to go through the software centre, they need to provide sensible instructions as to how to install it. So I'd ask the vendor. | 16:59 |
| === plagerism_ is now known as plagerism | ||
| ogra_ | ohmygoddess, i seriously doubt that is an error, its likely just a program telling you it runs without arguments | 16:59 |
| Muelli | well sklo. If you really want to fix the names, not recommended though, you can write a udev rule. | 16:59 |
| jnb | if you dont know say you dont know | 17:00 |
| gsteinert | sklo, your /etc/fstab file should show whether your system is using UUID's. dont go editing it if you dont know what you're doing though | 17:00 |

| jnb | if you dont know keep your opinions | 17:00 |
| ogra_ | jnb, Muelli gave you the command to become root above ... | 17:00 |
| ohmygoddess | ogra_: is there anyway to get rid of the message? | 17:00 |
| jnb | I am logged in as root | 17:00 |
| jnb | I am using the terminal | 17:00 |
| ogra_ | jnb, great, so just follow their instructions | 17:00 |
| gsteinert | jnb, your question is like going into burger king and asking how to make a big mac | 17:00 |
| fidel | jnb: either read the install instructions - or search the web on how to execute an .autorun file. but dont blame others for offering help ;) | 17:00 |
| jnb | you dont know because this same file was executed in terminal with LMDE | 17:01 |
| ogra_ | ohmygoddess, depends wheer it comes from ... i woudl start with filing a bug in launchpad and attaching logs you will be asked for by the devs | 17:01 |
| jnb | in the xchat session they advised to cd to the autorun file and type the following in terminal to execute | 17:01 |
| ogra_ | once it ios clear where it comes from you can likely quieten it | 17:02 |

| Muelli | ohmygoddess: are you logged in, when the problem appears? If so, you can make a screenshot by pressing the print button. | 17:03 |
| jnb | i am at the directory with the autorun | 17:03 |
| jnb | again useless info | 17:03 |
| ogra_ | ohmygoddess, just run ubuntu-bug ... it will do everything for you | 17:03 |
| ohmygoddess | Muelli, it is just before I logged in | 17:03 |
| gsteinert | sklo, the assignment of sd* names is done by udev, not grub. udev uses /etc/fstab to decide what to mount on startup | 17:03 |
| ohmygoddess | Muelli: it is after I choose windows or ubuntu to start, and before I logged in | 17:04 |
| ogra_ | jnb, well, then help yourself, i wont waste my saturday evening for someone who cant express himself right and blames me for giving the proper hints based on that | 17:04 |
| fidel | ogra_: +1 ;) | 17:04 |

| nirav | hey | 17:06 |
| Zuten | jnb: If it is an executable file you could run it with ./<filename> where you exchange <filename> with the name of the file | 17:06 |
| gsteinert | hey nirav | 17:06 |

| Muelli | IRCMonkey: can you pastebin us the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 17:07 |
| Dr_willis | danes, thjat a linux app? windows app? what excatly? | 17:08 |
| Muelli | danes: probably. You can "locate musicbrainz" to see whether there is an executable at all. | 17:08 |
| nirav | i am new in ubuntu..i downloaded theme which extention is tar.gz...after extracting ..i try to open with theme manager...it`s show invalid theme package..but now i cannot open any place from short cute...for example when i openhome,it show appearance manager | 17:08 |
| gsteinert | danes: i did use it briefly and iirc it was a GUI app only... but things may have changed/my memory may be fuzzy | 17:09 |
| danes | Dr_willis, picard is the app that runs musicbrainz but it is a gui version | 17:09 |
| danes | gsteinert, yes, it is a gui app as far as I know | 17:10 |
| gsteinert | nirav, have you tried opening the downloaded file instead of the extracted contents? | 17:10 |
| nirav | i try both | 17:10 |
| IRCMonkey | Muelli: how do i get the console? | 17:10 |
| Muelli | IRCMonkey: Ctrl+Alt+T | 17:10 |
| gsteinert | danes, http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainzEnabledApplications <-- take a look at that, beets may suit your purpose | 17:12 |

I only found solutions from previous Ubuntu versions which included updating to a more current kernel (now an older kernel). Is there anything I can try to fix this? | 18:04 |
| gsteinert | Spamicles: judging by the narrow focus of your question, you'll be lucky to get an answer straight away. in this, I think forums may be your friend. a forum post is likely to be viewed far more over a longer time, you have a better chance of finding someone with the same problem | 18:06 |
| Spamicles | gsteinert, is that the ubuntu launchpad? | 18:07 |
| gsteinert | launchpad is a bug repoting tool, but could work for you. | 18:08 |
| Spamicles | gsteinert, so just google ubuntu support forum? =] | 18:08 |
| gsteinert | i think that's your best bet... and file a bug report too, especially if you can narrow down what is causing the problem at all. a bug report is more likely to be seen by the right people if it is filed correctly. | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | askubuntu.com - is worth checking out also. | 18:10 |
| Spamicles | gsteinert, another quick question. i installed the r statistics package (r-base), but cant figure out how to run it. when i install a package, how do i figure out the command to execute it? | 18:10 |
| gsteinert | you could check the project website, or run `man <packagename>` | 18:11 |

| karamel4e_ | Question about gddrescue: when specifying the 'output file' should it be /dev/something or /media/somethin? | 18:26 |
| === miwa_ is now known as miwa | ||
| gsteinert | karamel4e_: a quick gogle suggests its the device, not the mount point (/dev/sd-something) | 18:28 |
| trism | miwa_: if 12.04, in dconf-editor, com.ubuntu.update-notifier, uncheck autolaunch, then you should get an indicator when updates are available but update-manager won't just pop up | 18:28 |
| maalo | gsteinert: ethernet and wireless get disconected after some seconds after Unity is loaded because my provider uses a .local domain. I have no access at all to internet then. | 18:28 |
| gsteinert | karamel4e_: http://onubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/command-line-hard-disk-cloning-with.html | 18:28 |
| gsteinert | maalo: how do you know it is because your provider uses a .local domain? | 18:29 |
| miwa | trism: thanks! what does the indicator look like? | 18:29 |
| lilVaratep | is there a command line visualizer ? | 18:29 |
| lilVaratep | ya know, the thing that moves up and down as sound changes | 18:29 |
| karamel4e_ | gsteinert, I thought it is only for the 'input file'. Thanks, it is written that it would destroy the data in output device. Also it is for ddrescue, do you think it will apply to gddrescue also? | 18:30 |
| trism | miwa: depends on the update/icon theme, in faenza it is a white blob on normal updates and a red blob on security updates (I think it might be orange for normal and red for security in the default theme), you should notice it when it appears | 18:30 |
| alecst | gvim doesn't show up when i superkey-a search for it in 12.04. googled the problem and couldn't find anything. anyone have an idea why? | 18:31 |
| maalo | gsteinert: after some seconds of being connected, unity shows a label for a couple of seconds saying that about .local domain, and I should call my internet provider | 18:31 |
| karamel4e_ | gsteinert, sorry, my mistake for the gddrescue I wrote, thanks, I will take a look at it | 18:32 |
| gsteinert | karamel4e_: i did miss that difference... the manpage should confirm it for you, run `man gddrescue`. and usually when providing a device as an output any data already on it will be destroyed | 18:32 |
| gsteinert | maalo: could you post the exact message please? | 18:32 |
| karamel4e_ | gsteinert, so when I try to make an image of a hdd which is 50Gb to a hdd which is 300Gb it will destroy the partition that I have there? I wanted to use only one of the partitions... | 18:34 |
| maalo | gsteinert: I'll try. It goes away so quick that barely can read it with my bad English. I'll come back in other moment with the complete message. :) | 18:34 |
| mafiaboy | on installing a package i get this "http://pastebin.com/76Eu5QfA" | 18:35 |
| gsteinert | karamel4e_: you'll have to check, but it may be possible to write to just one partition (specify /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda for example). but that is just a guess. i'd check the man pages fro confirmation before trying it | 18:35 |
| karamel4e_ | gsteinert, I already checked them but it's not that detailed. I will need to do some more research probably :) | 18:36 |
| gsteinert | the gddrescue website may help... look to see if they have a forum or irc channel | 18:37 |
| karamel4e_ | gsteinert, I am trying to find such a channel for days - no success | 18:38 |

| cbg0 | I've been using it from a USB, I guess it's like a live CD thing, and I've put some files in /home/ubuntu | 18:47 |
| Dr_willis | cbg0, if you do an Install.. it does not move any files over. | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | nor will it install any extra apps you installed | 18:48 |
| gsteinert | cbg0: your best bet is to put the files you ahve onto an external drive or network location before you install | 18:49 |

| Froward | I think it might be /etc/fstab | 19:20 |
| theadmin | Okay, need help. I'm on Kubuntu 12.04, *without pulseaudio* (it breaks my sound), and I only get sound in headphones. | 19:20 |
| Froward | ubuntu shows two partitions on my drive but only mounts them when I use them.. I don't know where that setting is. | 19:21 |
| muelli | well. pulseaudio shouldn't break your sound and you should use pulseaudio, theadmin. | 19:21 |
| zykotick9 | Froward: /etc/fstab is default mount stuff | 19:21 |
| theadmin | muelli: That is not an answer. | 19:21 |
| chimney | theadmin: ok, graphical sufface or cli? | 19:22 |
| muelli | well theadmin. Not using pulseaudio and then complaining is not right. | 19:22 |
| Froward | muelli: you're just being a whiny git right now ಠ_ಠ | 19:22 |
| theadmin | muelli: Okay, example: Someone asks why Flash doesn't work in Firefox, you tell them "Use Chrome, it works fine for me" | 19:22 |
| theadmin | muelli: Is that "right"? | 19:22 |
| chimney | muelli: alsa? | 19:22 |
| chimney | theadmin: alsa? | 19:23 |
| Hofman | it doesn't exist /etc/fstab . only /etc/fstab.d | 19:23 |
| Hofman | and it's empty | 19:23 |
| chimney | muelli: sorry | 19:23 |
| Froward | muelli: this is you: http://www.xkcdb.com/?5088 | 19:23 |
| zykotick9 | Hofman: what? can someone confirm/deny - does ubuntu still use /etc/fstab for mounting? OMG | 19:23 |
| muelli | nope theadmin. That's different. First and foremost because Flash is third pary proprietary software. | 19:24 |
| theadmin | chimney: Yes, plain ALSA, I have a KDE setup (pretty much default Kubuntu setup, but removed Pulse) | 19:24 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| theadmin | muelli: Well, you're not helping either way, you shouldn't tell people what they "should" do. | 19:25 |
| chimney | does it works now? | 19:26 |
| theadmin | chimney: It appears that ALSA doesn't realise that I unplug the headphones. | 19:26 |
| muelli | theadmin: Well. If you remove pulseaudio, you remove a core dependency of "ubuntu-desktop". You can't really expect help for your custom setup. | 19:26 |
| theadmin | muelli: I don't use "ubuntu-desktop". I use "kubuntu-desktop". I know perfectly well that GNOME/Unity depend on Pulse. KDE, however, does not. | 19:27 |

| gsteinert | xkill: when you access them through the file manager they should be mounted somewhere in the file system, most likely under the /media/ directory.. check there? | 19:36 |

| jeff_brad | Hi, newbie with GMA3150 problem, poor screen resolution, suggestions? | 19:48 |
| muelli | bennyprofane: hm. I wouldn't put "defaults" there. Are you sure it's a proper option? man mount will know. | 19:49 |
| bennyprofane | I think maybe I need to fix the options by inserting "rw", but I don't know if that means to cancel the "auto", and which is the proper syntax | 19:49 |
| bennyprofane | I actually have the man mount open | 19:49 |
| bennyprofane | but I'm a bit lost | 19:50 |
| eins11 | you could try adding a ", user" behind defaults | 19:50 |
| bennyprofane | auto is an option suggested in U-help page for fstab | 19:50 |
| muelli | bennyprofane: auto,rw will work fine. Options are separated by a comma and no space. | 19:50 |
| eins11 | but without the space i think | 19:50 |
| bennyprofane | muelli what about the seqeunce? | 19:51 |
| muelli | bennyprofane: doesn't matter :) | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | !fstab | 19:51 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | if its a ext2/3/4 filesystem - you dont just over ride the permissions and ownership on it with fstab options. You need to chown/chmod stuff as needed | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | !permissions | 19:52 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:52 |
| bennyprofane | the man mount is difficult for me top understand because it contains shell commands, and I don't get how I'm supposed to use those in fstab | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | fstab has a similer syntax to the mount command. | 19:53 |
| yeats | bennyprofane: you can do 'man fstab' too | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | when in doubt ise the fstab entries as examples | 19:53 |
| muelli | bennyprofane: whatever you'd use with "-o" for mount, you'd put in the appropriate options column in your fstab. | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | what filesystem is this 'data' partition? | 19:53 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis it's ext4 | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | then this applies ----> if its a ext2/3/4 filesystem - you dont just over ride the permissions and ownership on it with fstab options. You need to chown/chmod stuff as needed | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | rw option will not allow everyone access to it. | 19:54 |
| bennyprofane | what is chown/chmod ? | 19:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | !chmod | 19:54 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | !permissions | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | every file has an owner, group and permissions.. | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | ls -l filename would show the info for a specific file | 19:55 |
| bennyprofane | well there is just me on this computer, no one else ever has access to it. So I'd like to arrange things to require as few pwd entries as possible | 19:55 |
| Dr_willis | then you set the files to be owned by your user. | 19:56 |
| bennyprofane | in fstab? | 19:56 |
| Dr_willis | !permissions | 19:56 |
| bennyprofane | I want to own the complete partition, if doable | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | time to read that wiki page on permissions... | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | you do NOT override the r/w/ownership via fstab options for ext2/3/4 or other fs's that can store the permissions. | 19:57 |
| bennyprofane | where is it? looking for it now | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | at least ive never noticed a way to... | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | the url has been posted like 4 times in the last 20 lines.. | 19:57 |
| bennyprofane | I don't see any URL, just this: !permissions | 19:58 |
| Dr_willis | and if you read what the bot says..... | 19:58 |
| Dr_willis | <ubottu> An explanation of what file permissions are and how they............... | 19:58 |
| bennyprofane | here i go | 19:58 |
| bennyprofane | got it | 19:58 |
| bennyprofane | sry | 19:59 |
| bennyprofane | however the problem has been appearing to me not as one of permissions, but of mounting partitions, bcs *if* that partition is mounted in fstab, I'm not asked for a pwd when trying to e.g. save a file there. This is how I got to approaching the problem via fstab | 20:01 |
| Dr_willis | if you make a fstab entry, it will get mounted at boot time | 20:01 |
| bennyprofane | ...and? | 20:01 |
| Dr_willis | if you accesss the disk with no fstab entry. it mounts 'on the fly' | 20:01 |
| bennyprofane | ...but rquires a pwd first | 20:02 |
| Dr_willis | it dosent ask for a password to 'save' files there.. it would be on mounting the system mounting task needs the sudo rights.. | 20:02 |
| Dr_willis | if its in the fstab then it would be mounted befor you even login | 20:02 |
| bennyprofane | I want to eliminate that. I just want unrestricted r/w access to that partition whenever I boot | 20:02 |
| Dr_willis | then you mount it.. and chown/chmod it to be owned by your user.. | 20:02 |
| === viv`d is now known as vivid | ||
| bennyprofane | *that=the need to be root/supply my pwd | 20:03 |
| Dr_willis | make a fstab entry, then chown/chmod the mountpoint and files to be owned by you. | 20:03 |
| Dr_willis | after its been mounted | 20:03 |
| bennyprofane | ok | 20:03 |
| bennyprofane | then first I need to get the fstab options right | 20:03 |
| Dr_willis | for ext4 'defaults' is most likely the only option you need. | 20:03 |
| bennyprofane | well that's how it's mounted right now | 20:04 |
| bennyprofane | so I only need to change permissions now...? | 20:04 |
| Dr_willis | You got it. | 20:05 |
| Dr_willis | ownership, and perhaps permissions.. | 20:05 |
| Dr_willis | mainly ownership. | 20:05 |

| Dr_willis | chowning/permissions is a rather fundamental thing. thats not to hard to understand.. but windows doswent really do the same thing the same way. | 20:07 |
| rsser | bennyprofane, NO. I'm having trouble with wi-fi connection. And ubuntu doesn't support wpa & wpa2 connection here | 20:07 |
| Dr_willis | I think it can depend on thje hardware and drivers rsser | 20:08 |
| rsser | I can't connect to wifi network under wpa & wpa2 cryptography | 20:08 |
| bennyprofane | rsser I didn't say anything to you | 20:08 |
| rsser | okay, bennyprofane | 20:08 |
| rsser | I have impression slightly different | 20:09 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, the thing to rember is you chown the mountpoint AFTER its mounted. :) that way you are changeing the owner of the 'root' of the filesystem. | 20:09 |
| Dr_willis | assuming you want that one user to have full access to the root of the drive. | 20:10 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis I'm not saying the subject is inaccessible, but man pages usually are. they're written by developers for developers, and not for the average user. I'm all about understanding how things work, but there is a limit to how deep you can/want to get into things on a non-professional level | 20:11 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, when they were written the average user WAS a programmer. | 20:11 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis yes that's what I want | 20:11 |
| bennyprofane | exactly | 20:11 |
| bennyprofane | sure there is a good reason for it | 20:12 |
| kiyoura | miss those days | 20:12 |
| Dr_willis | man pages syntax has been around for 30+ years.. many of the commands are identical to the way they were back then | 20:12 |
| Dr_willis | The idea of a 'os you learn as you go with out reading a manual' is a very recent 'idea' | 20:12 |
| bennyprofane | I'm just saying somedays awareness of that fact (the one I tried to explain) is small in the Linux world | 20:13 |
| bennyprofane | *sometimes | 20:13 |
| Dr_willis | of course 'exploreing your os' to learn it.. is much harder when its a command line only os. like back then. | 20:13 |
| * Dr_willis feels old. | 20:13 | |
| kiyoura | your os isn't command-line only still? :x | 20:13 |
| Dr_willis | Get off my lawn you kids. ;) | 20:13 |
| bennyprofane | no person I know and who is not an It professional would be willing to venture as far into the mechanics of the OS as I am now | 20:14 |

| rsser | how can I install the support wpa & wpa2 to ubuntu? | 20:15 |
| Dr_willis | its always good to learn the fundamentals and core of how things work.. | 20:15 |

| bennyprofane | Dr_willis you know the section about chown only talks about ownership of files. For ownership of volumes (seems the one relevant for me) it refers to the fstab page... | 20:29 |
| andreb | quesiton | 20:29 |
| andreb | whats teh differnece between : cp -r -p and rsync -avH | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, if you chown the mountpoint of the fstab, then the root of the filesystem gets owned by whoever. | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | 'everything in linux is a file' is a old timers phrase. :) even directories are special files. | 20:30 |
| wubino | ok how do I forward a remote port to a localport? | 20:31 |
| Dr_willis | wubino, it sounds like the ec2 providers are blocking it. but ive never touched an EC2 thing. | 20:31 |
| Dr_willis | whats listening to port 8900 anyway? | 20:32 |
| bennyprofane | ubuntu579 did you look at this page? http://askubuntu.com/questions/15425/unable-to-find-a-medium-containing-a-live-file-system-error-when-installing it seems to suggest you should check your BIOS settings | 20:32 |
| wubino | 8900 is just out of the way, its for http access to a psuedo command line | 20:33 |
| ubuntu579 | cant fix "( | 20:33 |
| === jakub is now known as jakub_r | ||
| OerHeks | ubuntu579, did you try an other usb port? | 20:35 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis, in chown, would I need to use the path, as in e.g. /media/LinuxData, or rather loaction, as in /dev/sdb2? | 20:35 |
| JoshuaP | What chmod command do I use to let a user be able to view and edit a file or directory? | 20:35 |
| Dr_willis | you chown the mount POINT after its mounted bennyprofane so the path. | 20:35 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest45128 | ||
| bennyprofane | ubuntu579 do you know more or less what your BIOS is doing, Boot options, boot sequnce etc. | 20:35 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, or just make a directory on the filesystem and chown that and keep everything in it. :) | 20:36 |
| Dr_willis | thats how a home partition works.. each user has their own 'username' directory owned by them. they dont own the root of the filesystem | 20:37 |

| aartist | How I can make installable USB stick for ubuntu? | 20:39 |
| eamon | aartist unetbootin | 20:39 |
| Dr_willis | aartist, the pendrivelinux website has numerous tools also. | 20:40 |
| Troy^ | !usbinstall | 20:40 |
| aartist | Basically I like to install ubuntu in my friend's computer.., so that he can 1. try, 2. run from his computer. | 20:40 |
| eamon | unetbootin is what you want | 20:40 |
| Troy^ | run from his computer? does it bite? | 20:40 |
| bennyprofane | the mount point is /media/LinuxData, ben is my user, so this should do it, right? ben@Ignaz-bodhi:/media$ sudo chown ben LinuxData | 20:41 |
| bennyprofane | properties tab still says owner is root though | 20:41 |
| JoshuaP | What chmod command do I use to let a user be able to view and edit a file or directory? | 20:41 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, i think you want ben:ben thedir | 20:41 |
| Dr_willis | then use ls -l to see | 20:41 |
| Troy^ | JoshuaP: sudo chmod a+r | 20:42 |
| wubino | How can I make a portable Ubuntu USB stick that runs in windows? | 20:42 |
| eamon | JoseeAntonioR: sudo chmod 777 | 20:42 |
| bennyprofane | I don't understand. could you give me the full command? | 20:42 |
| Troy^ | eamon: 777 is never suggested | 20:42 |
| glady5 | LinuxLive USB Creator 2.8.15 for windows | 20:42 |
| Dr_willis | wubino, you can make oen that boots into linux, but RUNNING in windows. you would need some virtual/vm/setup | 20:42 |
| aartist | Could some one please walk me in? | 20:42 |
| wubino | Dr_willis: Qemu | 20:43 |
| Troy^ | JoshuaP: chmod 755 is usually sufficient | 20:43 |
| Dr_willis | sudo chown bob:bob /media/bobshome | 20:43 |
| Dr_willis | I think i got that right. | 20:43 |
| aartist | I am currently having ubuntu 12.04 and my friend will have windows Vista/7. | 20:43 |
| bennyprofane | 'thedir' means the full path? even if I'm already there in terminal? | 20:43 |
| Troy^ | aarcane_: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 20:43 |

| Dr_willis | but remeber this is not for vfat/ntfs | 20:45 |
| bennyprofane | awesome... | 20:45 |
| JoshuaP | eamon, what will let a user without sudo be able to read and write the file? | 20:45 |
| Dr_willis | when in doubt use the full path bennyprofane :) just to be clear | 20:46 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis is permanent though? because that would be the whole point... | 20:46 |
| bennyprofane | *is it permanent | 20:46 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, the permissions are ON the fileysstem.. so yes.. its permemet | 20:46 |
| eamon | 777 will but it's insecure if your comy has many user accounts | 20:46 |
| bennyprofane | cool | 20:46 |
| eamon | JoshuaP | 20:46 |
| Dr_willis | if you moved that HD to a differnt linux box.. the ownerships would be the same.. and may cause confusion :) | 20:46 |
| eamon | *comp | 20:46 |
| Dr_willis | soyou would have to chown them to a useable user again | 20:46 |
| JoshuaP | eamon, Yes? | 20:48 |
| eamon | 777 will but it's insecure if your comy has many user accounts | 20:48 |
| eamon | *comp | 20:48 |
| JoshuaP | thanks | 20:48 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis will keep that in mind in case I decide to 1. dump this old PC and 2. re-use the HDD for an NAS I don't have yet - but In that case I'd wipe and reformat the HDD anyway, so this problem is unlikely I gues... | 20:49 |
| Dr_willis | for a NAS - they can have their own quirks. :) | 20:50 |
| Dr_willis | ive moved USB hds around from linux box to nas and so forth. and had to fix ownership on many an occasion. | 20:50 |
| bennyprofane | aartist you need 1. the ISO of your new Ubuntu, checksummed 2. a pendrive, wiped and formatted to FAT and 3. a tool for mounting the ISO to the pendrive. You have all these yet? | 20:51 |
| bennyprofane | Dr_willis this HDD is internal, don't intend to move it unless my pc goes down for good | 20:52 |

| domtron | Hello, I need help installing ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop(hp pavilion g7 64bit). after booting into the first menu the entire screen turns off, after some searching the keyboard brightness controls fix that problem, but after I choose "install" or "try first" there is 15-20 minutes where there is a decent amount of noise(hard drive?) and it shows the purple red-ish background but then it goes black(though I can still see and move the mouse) | 20:54 |
| guntbert_ | JoshuaP: why should a normal user be able to write there? | 20:55 |
| guntbert_ | !who | JoshuaP | 20:55 |

| Smackbook | i'm trying to write a script involving this "ping router | grep icmp_req | cut -d'=' -f4" to just get the latency, but it doesn't output anything, then i do "ping router -c10 | grep icmp_req | cut -d'=' -f4" and realize ping is only piping data out after it finishes, and so unlimited count never outputs. am I doing something wrong ? why isn't ping piping realtime? I could swear this was working the other day | 20:56 |
| JoshuaP | guntbert_, it's a user that I switched the directory over to and I'm tryingto give that user read/write privs for it | 20:56 |
| rgenito_ | sadly, i am not enjoying ubuntu 12.04 on my ultrabook ;( | 20:58 |
| rgenito_ | it is most likely my own fault! sooo i has a question | 20:58 |
| guntbert_ | JoshuaP: if the directory and the files are owned by that user then 755 is completely sufficient (as some other process will need to read there...) | 20:58 |
| rgenito_ | ALL i did on this ultrabook was change /etc/resolv.conf's "nameserver" address (because for the location i was at... the DNS information supplied by the wireless router was incorrect) | 20:59 |
| rgenito_ | of course, that file is fine now since it is auto generated | 20:59 |
| rgenito_ | however, my wireless access gets disconnected often. and then after about 2 minutes it reconnects. this is very bothersome | 20:59 |
| rgenito_ | this happens on ALL wireless networks that i have been on (4 separate ones so far) | 20:59 |
| rgenito_ | any ideas what's going on? | 20:59 |
| rgenito_ | it's definitely a software issue, or at least it is hopefully NOT a physical hardware issue with this ultrabook :) | 21:00 |
| bennyprofane | :-( Dr_willis! It's not working! | 21:00 |
| ThinkT510 | rgenito_: sounds like the driver | 21:00 |
| bennyprofane | I forgot to explain what this was all about initially | 21:00 |
| bennyprofane | ...bcs I actually forgot it | 21:00 |
| bennyprofane | I need Dropbox to get access to that partition | 21:01 |
| bennyprofane | I want to place my Dropbox folder there, so it's gonna need r/w access | 21:01 |
| Troy^ | is there a package that installs apache2, php5 and mysql? is it lamp-server? | 21:02 |
| ThinkT510 | !lamp | Troy^ | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Troy^: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:03 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, your dropbox tools run as the user. so if the user has permissions then any apps they run should. UNLESS theres some limition in dropbox to not follow links, or mountpoints | 21:04 |
| Advocated | i assume, for a cronjob that shows: 0 20 15-17 * * /usr/bin/php it means 8pm, 15th and 17th? so if i wanted it to run at 11pm too, it'd be: 0 20,23 15-17 * * /usr/bin/php... ? | 21:04 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, if the ownership/modes are the same as your users home then they should have same rights there as they do their own home. You could even Put their home on that new filesystem | 21:05 |
| bennyprofane | Dropbox says target folder is read only | 21:05 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, or mount the filesystem to /home/yourusername/whatever | 21:05 |
| Dr_willis | bennyprofane, can you write to it in other ways? | 21:05 |
| astronaute | hello all | 21:05 |
| bennyprofane | yes | 21:05 |

| astronaute | Dr_willis do I put it in a block near PATH definition in .profile or else ? | 21:08 |
| ThinkT510 | rgenito_: what wireless do you have? | 21:09 |
| Dr_willis | astronaute, depends on the details. could go at the end of the file. | 21:09 |
| rgenito_ | (hopefully these packages download before i get disconnected again...or else i'll have to uncheck many items in the updater before i continue...) | 21:09 |
| rgenito_ | ThinkT510, i'm not sure...whatever wireless that came with this Vizio ultrabook | 21:09 |
| astronaute | Dr_willis it is for my rails development, unrelated to OS I just need it to be available from command line | 21:09 |

| MrPopinjay | I just installed 12.04, opened the software centre and attempted to log in. I put in my email and software centre password but the keyring pops up saying "the password you use to log in to your coputer no longer matches that of your login keyring" | 21:36 |
| L1 | Troy^, muelli, thanks | 21:36 |
| faLUCE2 | given that there are 6 controllers, does it mean that I can connect two webcams? | 21:36 |
| L1 | TJ- I have, haven't I? | 21:36 |
| MrPopinjay | and then asks me for my password, I have no idea what password it wants. Neither the one for the software centre or for my login works. | 21:36 |
| MrPopinjay | Ideas? | 21:36 |
| Troy^ | faLUCE2: you should be fine | 21:36 |
| faLUCE2 | thnks | 21:37 |
| TJ- | L1: Sorry, I misread! Are you expecting to see the output from "service mysql status" ? | 21:37 |
| faLUCE2 | ok, but how can I see to which port I have to connect the two cameras? | 21:38 |
| L1 | Yes, I am... hang on. It just ran fine when I executed the script manually. I have cron triggering it every minute, and that's not working, but I just tried bash -x my_script.sh and the if statment evaluated correctly | 21:38 |
| L1 | So I think it's a cron setup problem :) Thanks for your help | 21:38 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 21:39 |
| ThePendulum | Is it possible to hide a bunch of files with a certain extension using a .hidden file for Nautilus? | 21:39 |
| TJ- | L1: you need to set a shebang line as line 1 : "#!/bin/bash" | 21:39 |
| L1 | TJ- Thanks, I'll give that a go | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | ThePendulum, im not sure it has that feature any more.. they tried somthing like that ages ago.. and everyone hated it. ;) | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | !hidden | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | !hide | 21:40 |
| TJ- | L1: otherwise, unless you actually pass the script name to a shell command, the system doesn't know how to deal with it. You'll also need to make the script executable "chmod +x <filename>" | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | ThePendulum, with a file manager like 'mc' its doable. | 21:40 |
| ThePendulum | Dr_willis: Well, the .hidden file works, and I don't see how such functionality can possibly be hated | 21:40 |
| stercor | I'm installing 11.10 to upgrade to 12.10LTS. Is 'Advanced Installation' available to 11.10? If so, how do I get to it. There's 'Expert mode' on the initial screen, but I can't seem to get it to 'take.' by pressing the correct key. | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | ThePendulum, you mean the use of a . at the start of a file? | 21:41 |
| ThePendulum | That's a bit impractical, there are a lot of files and I'm afraid that the media center (the device that created all those files) won't recognize them anymore with a '.' | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | .files are not really hidden.. its just a common practice for apps to not display them by default unless they have a setting. | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | set to show them | 21:42 |
| MrPopinjay | I just installed 12.04, opened the software centre and attempted to log in. I put in my email and software centre password but the keyring pops up saying "the password you use to log in to your coputer no longer matches that of your login keyring" | 21:43 |
| MrPopinjay | and then asks me for my password, I have no idea what password it wants. Neither the one for the software centre or for my login works. | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | .files = any file with a . as the first character of the name. ;) | 21:43 |
| ThePendulum | Dr_willis: I know that, but you're still renaming the file which causes some applications/devices not to recognize it at all (for it only knows the filename without the .) | 21:44 |

| osmosis | any suggestions how I can get a newere version of 'revelation' in ubuntu precise. the include one is old and has a bug | 21:47 |
| Dr_willis | osmosis, ppa's or backports, or source are the common ways | 21:47 |

| L1 | Allright, so still haven't got it working. When I run my script from the teminal (bash my_script.sh) it works fine (echos "statusVar- mysql stop/waiting"). However when cron is running it, the variable is not getting a value set. (echos "statusVar- ") | 21:48 |
| === Guest29738 is now known as nlkl | ||
| Dr_willis | instead of bash myscript.sh you tried making a #!/bin/bash line at the start so it always uses bash? | 21:49 |
| L1 | Dr_willis: Yep, I added that to line 1 | 21:50 |
| Dr_willis | then if its executable, you shouldent need 'bash foo.sh' | 21:50 |
| L1 | I think it might be something to do with path not being correct? E.g. the "service mysql status" isn't being found when run from crontab perhaps? | 21:51 |
| Dr_willis | when in doubt. use full paths | 21:51 |
| Dr_willis | or set thepath at the start of the script | 21:51 |
| TJ- | L1: Where precisely are you defining the task for cron? | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | i dident think cron scripts/tasks normally printed messages... | 21:52 |
| L1 | Dr_willis: thanks, I'll keep bash-ing away at it | 21:52 |
| L1 | TJ- I'm doing "crontab -e" | 21:52 |
| TJ- | L1: and does the user running the script have privileges to run 'service' ? | 21:53 |
| L1 | Dr_willis, TJ- Working great now! Thanks for all you rhelp. I added "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" in my crontab right before this cron | 21:53 |
| TJ- | L1: when you run a script as a user the shell doesn't do a log-in unless you tell it too, so there's a very minimal environment, not including a PATH | 21:54 |
| L1 | I see | 21:54 |
| L1 | Good to know | 21:54 |
| domtron | Hello, I need help installing ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop(hp pavilion g7 64bit). after booting into the first menu the entire screen turns off, after some searching the keyboard brightness controls fix that problem, but after I choose "install" or "try first" there is 15-20 minutes where there is a decent amount of noise(hard drive?) and it shows the purple red-ish background but then it goes black(though I can still see and move the mouse) | 22:03 |

| macmartine | jrib: ok, but i still can't figure out why it's not working now then | 22:28 |
| niadh | Any ideas why I can access the xbmc site on one machine but not the other? Both machines are on the same network and the machine that can't reach it can't ping it, but can reach any other site I try | 22:29 |

| urgodfather | i have a clean install | 22:31 |

| TJ- | macmartine: Look at the build log you pasted | 22:33 |
| trism | TJ-: ougogo ^^ | 22:34 |
| macmartine | TJ-: I think you've got the wrong guy | 22:34 |
| urgodfather | wade, its a clean install with only 2 partitions... \ and swap | 22:34 |
| TJ- | macmartine: I apologise... I think my eyes mis-scanned! | 22:34 |
| TJ- | ougogo: : The symbol "dev_dbg_ratelimited" wasn't added to the kernel until v3.5. If you're going to build the latest linuxtv you need to build against a very recent kernel too, if not the current linux head | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | failing to reboot could be some apci/power management issue. | 22:36 |
| TJ- | macmartine: For postfix. Check its 'recommends' and make sure they're installed | 22:36 |
| urgodfather | Dr_willis: any way to fix? | 22:36 |
| macmartine | TJ-: Ok, thanks. How do I do that? :/ | 22:37 |
| wade | @urgodfather...fraid I wouldn't be much help at the advanced stuff. Can you get in debug mode? | 22:37 |
| Dr_willis | urgodfather, no idea. Its not going to be related to yoyu having just 2 partitions. but more of a chipset/bios related | 22:38 |
| urgodfather | wade: how to? never needed nor tried before | 22:38 |
| urgodfather | Dr_willis: if it matters any, i had a clean install of xp on earlier and did not have any issues | 22:39 |
| wade | @urgodfather...are you running a dual boot? | 22:39 |
| urgodfather | Dr_willis: leads me to believe software related vs hardware | 22:39 |
| gogeta | urgodfather: xp lol | 22:39 |
| urgodfather | wade: negative | 22:39 |
| TJ- | macmartine: You can check using "apt-cache show postfix | egrep '(Depends|Recommends|Suggests)'" | 22:40 |
| gogeta | urgodfather: what was the linux issue | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | urgodfather, xp has the the support of the HW makers to do things just right. things the hw makers may not disclose to the Kernel devs | 22:40 |
| urgodfather | gogetta unfortunately samsungs ssd tool only works in winblows | 22:40 |
| TJ- | macmartine: When you got that 500 error... were you telnet-ing manually to the SMTP server? | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | urgodfather, so its a matter of apci bugs in the kernel because the bios makers love to make up their own standards.. | 22:40 |
| gogeta | Dr_willis: like the latest atom prosser ibm whent windows happy with it | 22:40 |
| gogeta | Dr_willis: intel lol i said ibm | 22:40 |
| urgodfather | gogetta hangs on reboot | 22:40 |
| wade | @urgodfather...on mine it gives me a boot screen on startup but I'm set up on a dual boot | 22:41 |
| gogeta | urgodfather: lots of things can hang is it after it has done everything | 22:41 |
| TJ- | urgodfather: Reboot immediately after installing? | 22:41 |
| urgodfather | gogetta it hangs as it is kill modules | 22:42 |
| urgodfather | TJ-: same issue | 22:42 |
| urgodfather | had to hard reset | 22:42 |
| gogeta | urgodfather: even if something does not kill it should movw along it sound like apm isnt sending the reboot command to bios | 22:42 |
| TJ- | urgodfather: No, I meant... is this a hang immediately after installing, or does this happen after a regular system boot well after it was installed? | 22:43 |
| macmartine | TJ- yes | 22:43 |
| gogeta | urgodfather: relly if its that far along nothing bad should happond doing a hard reboot | 22:43 |

| urgodfather | hey whats the channel for freenode support | 23:04 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: As you mentioned VNC that implies you're using the GUI to log-in. When logged-in, the Network Manager applet configures the network connections. For each connection there's a tick-box to enable a connection for "All users" - if that wasn't ticked, I can imagine once you log-out that networking wouldn't be available and thus no remote connections | 23:04 |

| davetarmac | TJ-: I never got the prompt | 23:08 |
| davetarmac | TJ-: Is there a way to remove it fully and start over? | 23:09 |
| shihan | from memory a few days ago, phpmyadmin doesnt actually use the sites-enabled mechanism iirc | 23:09 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: OK, that sounds like that may not be the issue. Next thing - to ensure there is a network connection - is to start a 'ping <hostname>' to the server from one of your other PCs, then log-out of the server and see if the ping dies. If it does, you know there's a network issue with it disconnecting | 23:09 |
| TJ- | davetarmac: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low phpmyadmin" | 23:10 |
| urgodfather | Cheapshot: yeah, unfortunately the site is down... dunno if you were aware... but anonymous swore revenge for it | 23:10 |
| davetarmac | ahh - shiny screens :) | 23:11 |
| TJ- | davetarmac: something useful happening? | 23:11 |
| davetarmac | TJ-: seems to be | 23:12 |
| TJ- | davetarmac: good | 23:12 |
| davetarmac | Do I want to use unix socket or tcp/ip for the conection method? | 23:12 |
| === Spammy is now known as Spamicles | ||
| wyominggeezer | TJ: OK, I logged out the remote machine and then did PING from my desk to the remote machine. PINGS OK | 23:13 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: so you have network. Are you trying to connect remotely using VNC to the GUI? | 23:13 |
| wyominggeezer | TJ: yes | 23:13 |
| Spamicles | TJ-, so i tried suspending without closing the lid using a pm-suspend, but the computer wakes back up. this is the tail of my kern.log if you don't mind helping me figure out what it means: http://pastebin.com/aEzcWjvr | 23:14 |
| === ThePendulum is now known as sevenforall | ||
| davetarmac | TJ-: gone through all that, set it all up and it's still returning a 404 page :( | 23:14 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: I've not used VNC in ages (I use SSH) but I do recall in some configurations logging-out would cause the vnc daemon to close if it was started per-user... someone else might be able to help you narrow that down. I'd start by checking the logs in /var/log/ .... maybe syslog and auth.log | 23:14 |
| Randm | is there a way of doing network installs with ubuntu and cobbler? I did cobbler import on the image, but the installer is saying the cdrom could not be found (makes sense), but doesn't prompt me for any networking setup so I could do a http/whatever based install. | 23:14 |
| TJ- | davetarmac: How are you accessing the web-page? from a different PC or the same one that is running apache2? | 23:15 |
| davetarmac | TJ-: same PC | 23:15 |
| Cheapshot | TJ- WOuldnt you need a script to start the vnc daemon automatically during bootup? | 23:15 |
| sevenforall | I've tried Ubuntu on a dozen PCs and several completely different self-built PCs, but everything keeps working just fine. I looked it up on the internet and I'm supposed to get a lot of compatability issues and agonizing UI elements. What am I doing wrong? | 23:16 |
| KorvinSzanto | how can I clear the settings from gtkpod? | 23:16 |
| TeslaTony | I'm trying to add a PGP key for an Apt repository via command line, and no matter what I seem to try, it doesn't work. Any help? | 23:16 |
| davetarmac | I know apache2 is running because I am accessing a Symfony config locally and that is all php and what-not | 23:16 |
| wyominggeezer | TJ: OK, I'll sniff around. When I have tried SSH, even when the remote machine is logged in, all I get is an error telling me the connection was closed. Never has worked on that box BUT, I think, it worked on another box. So, I may have something not setup correctly. | 23:17 |
| TJ- | Cheapshot: I assumed it starts as a system service like everything else - does it not do that? | 23:17 |
| KorvinSzanto | davetarmac, that doesn't mean that apache is running | 23:17 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Anyone? | 23:17 |
| Cheapshot | As i remember from the days using vnc connection, i would have to first connect via ssh and start the x11vnc before I could login | 23:17 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: For ssh you must install the server "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" | 23:17 |
| KorvinSzanto | davetarmac, run sudo service apache2 status | 23:17 |
| ben1u | hello, if I want to stop mount new usb sticks than I should stop udev with "service udev stop" or? | 23:17 |
| wyominggeezer | TJ: Install on the remote box? | 23:17 |
| davetarmac | KorvinSzanto: Apache2 is running | 23:17 |
| KorvinSzanto | how can I clear the settings from gtkpod? | 23:18 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: on the 'server' - the one you want to log-in to | 23:18 |
| simo_n | hi, i have been trying install some drivers and its seems i ruined my wireless driver, how i can the reset the wireless driver setting to the default ? | 23:19 |
| TJ- | ben1u: No!! You should add an exception rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 23:19 |
| wyominggeezer | TJ: OK, will try that. Sound of me going down the basement to relog in to the *$&^# machine. TNK for your help. At least I have something to try. | 23:19 |
| TJ- | wyominggeezer: hehehe good luck | 23:20 |
| wyominggeezer | TJ: Also, will make a pit stop at the bar for another Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. That is a requirement of mine if I have to work on software stuff. | 23:20 |
| davetarmac | all I'm trying to use phpmyadmin for is to create a user and database in mysql | 23:21 |
| ben1u | TJ-: but if I want do it temporary for read-only mount than I can stop the udev service or? | 23:21 |
| davetarmac | and the command line one won't let me | 23:21 |
| Randm | ah, had to use mini.iso to do this. | 23:21 |
| Randm | from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cobbler/Import | 23:21 |
| davetarmac | says Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'dbname' | 23:22 |
| davetarmac | so obviously I need to change the user to one who can create the db | 23:22 |
| urgodfather | does anyone use konversation? | 23:22 |

| AndChat160881 | Hi there. | 23:26 |
| ben1u | I want to prevent automatically mount of USB Device for later ro mount. What should I do? | 23:27 |
| * thomasross tortures Dwith a suspicious iron bar | 23:28 | |
| Manas | hello | 23:28 |
| * thomasross hurts awith a medium sized axe | 23:28 | |
| hfic | ben1u, why dont u just edit your etc/fstab to mount the device now by UUID and set the mounting to ro | 23:28 |
| ben1u | I want restore files with extundelete. | 23:28 |
| OerHeks | !ot | thomasross | 23:29 |
| ubottu | thomasross: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:29 |
| ben1u | hfic: this Device is not listed in fstab. | 23:30 |
| hfic | ben1u, . ...so list it | 23:30 |
| Manas | hey guys... an off-topic question... can anyone suggest me a good book for database... and also a good website which contains lots of free ebooks... :D | 23:30 |
| hfic | Manas, /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:30 |
| Manas | alright | 23:31 |
| Manas | thanku | 23:31 |
| wyominggeezer | yes | 23:31 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Does anyone know an IRC that might be able to help me then? | 23:32 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Since no one seems to know the answer? | 23:32 |
| ben1u | but I need to know the UUID and when I put the USB Device than will be automatically mounted. I want to prevent this. hfic | 23:32 |
| Cheapshot | wyominggeezer Your quest was successfull? | 23:32 |
| Cheapshot | DiscipleOfDante what was your initial question? | 23:33 |
| DiscipleOfDante | What package I would install for 32-bit OpenGL libraries on my 64-bit install. | 23:34 |
| DiscipleOfDante | For PlayOnLinux | 23:34 |
| stercor | What id the dd command to put a downloaded .iso to a CD-ROM? | 23:34 |
| DiscipleOfDante | It keeps complaining about the missing libraries and it is messing up my games | 23:34 |
| hfic | ben1u, you have to put the device in to be able to block it from mounting in the first place. So why not just put it in, run sudo blkid and edit your etc/fstab like UUID=<uu> /mount/point ans specify ro instead of rw | 23:34 |
| DiscipleOfDante | I know what the package is in Arch and Chakra but not in Ubuntu | 23:34 |
| Spamicles | Can anyone help with my suspend issue? I'll suspend my system with a pm-suspend and it wakes up immediately. Here is the excerpt from my kern.log: http://pastebin.com/WTdS9kWq . Thank you! | 23:34 |
| wrapids | I'm trying to get ubuntu installed ona laptop with nvidia gfx that is just giving me this broken pixelated screen when it tries to boot from usb | 23:35 |
| wrapids | Any ideas? | 23:35 |
| Manas | wrapids, u may want to recreate the bootbale drive | 23:36 |
| AndChat160881 | Run live CD and install female it. | 23:36 |
| wrapids | Manas: I have, no go. | 23:36 |
| wrapids | AndChat160881: female it? | 23:36 |
| AndChat160881 | I mean female the live CD;) | 23:37 |
| Cheapshot | wrapids Use the alternative iso | 23:37 |
| wrapids | wubi does the same thing also | 23:37 |
| daviwys | quit | 23:37 |
| AndChat160881 | Frm not female ;) | 23:38 |
| Cheapshot | DiscipleOfDante Maybe on some wine channel people could help | 23:38 |
| wrapids | AndChat160881: still lost. frm? | 23:38 |
| DiscipleOfDante | I tried PlayOnLinux but they couldn't. I will try WINE | 23:38 |
| Manas | wrapids, that's weird... can u see anything on the screen? | 23:39 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest82204 | ||
| AndChat160881 | I mean from the live CD;) | 23:39 |
| DiscipleOfDante | If I showed you the homepage for the package could you tell me what it is titled in the *buntu repositories? | 23:39 |
| Manas | wrapids, are u using pendrivelinux for creating the bootable usb? | 23:39 |
| Cheapshot | wrapids download the ubuntu-alternative.iso and use it to install, you dont live boot at all from it | 23:39 |

| Guest19601 | ? | 23:40 |
| Guest19601 | Q | 23:40 |
| AndChat160881 | Can it display well on live CD? | 23:41 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Oh Cheapshot the WINE irc will not help me because this counts as a PlayOnLinux issue, even though it affects WINE too, since I do not know how I would find out about this with WINE I would have to mention PlayOnLinux and then they would tell me to go do bad things to myself | 23:41 |
| Cheapshot | DiscipleOfDante Then you might use some forum for help, try the ubuntu forums and game section | 23:43 |
| DiscipleOfDante | I checked the Ubuntu forums but all I found was for NVIDIA cards, and since I am not using Ubuntu itself but a distro based on Ubuntu it wouldn't feel right making an account for the Ubuntu forums | 23:43 |
| IdleOne | but asking in an Ubuntu channel felt right? | 23:44 |
| IdleOne | DiscipleOfDante: try the channel for the distro you are using | 23:44 |
| DiscipleOfDante | I did | 23:44 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Like 3 days ago all day and all day every day since | 23:45 |
| DiscipleOfDante | I still am | 23:45 |
| IdleOne | DiscipleOfDante: Well this channel is for Ubuntu support, not other distros and NOT for taking cheap shots / complaining. | 23:45 |
| Cheapshot | DiscipleOfDante I'd go and made a new topic on ubuntu forums | 23:45 |
| DiscipleOfDante | IdleOne: Well I was asking for help, not taking cheap shots or complaining so I think I was in the right place, and since the distribution still uses Ubuntu repositories I would figure this would be the place to go above anywhere else | 23:46 |
| IdleOne | DiscipleOfDante: What distro exactly? | 23:47 |
| DiscipleOfDante | Cheapshot: Thanks I will try my distribution's forums first and if I have no luck I will try the Ubuntu forum. Thanks for the help though | 23:47 |
| DiscipleOfDante | IdleOne: Bodhi. | 23:47 |
| Raheem | Anyone here interested in making sketches for an upcoming game??? | 23:48 |
| szal | !ot | Raheem | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Raheem: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:48 |
| hfic | pwned | 23:48 |
| Cheapshot | The problem with smaller distributions is that eventually you have to go for other sources for help, on a specific problems | 23:49 |
| AndChat160881 | @DisciplineOfDante there are VGA boot options. b4u begin installation ! Hopefully one can work with u r graphics. | 23:50 |
| shaladore | how to i get my network managed under ubuntu server 12.04.1 | 23:50 |
| shaladore | sorry kinda new still | 23:50 |
| szal | AndChat160881: proper English please | 23:50 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore Be a little more specific please | 23:51 |
| shaladore | Well when I click on the inet icon it says that my network isn't managed even tho I can connect and all that.. just curious if I forgot to install something when i installed xwindows. running unity desktop and sometimes gnome. | 23:52 |
| urgodfather | does anyone use konversation for irc client? | 23:52 |
| AndChat160881 | Hi szal Don mind so long as point gets home :) | 23:52 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore Do you have network-manager installed? | 23:53 |
| shaladore | that is a mighty good question i didn't watch when it installed xwindows so maybe not. | 23:53 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore sudo apt-get install network-manager | 23:54 |
| hfic | !ask | urgodfather | 23:54 |
| ubottu | urgodfather: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:54 |
| shaladore | says it is already installed | 23:55 |
| urgodfather | hfic... i never did | 23:55 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore and I think you need also : sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 23:55 |
| hfic | urgodfather, I must be the only person in this channel that seen <urgodfather> does anyone use konversation for irc client? .... huh | 23:55 |
| shaladore | cheapshot: says both are installed. | 23:55 |
| urgodfather | hfic, i never "asked to ask a question" | 23:56 |
| AndChat160881 | Goodnight people :) | 23:56 |
| urgodfather | !patience | hfic | 23:56 |
| ubottu | hfic: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 23:56 |
| hfic | urgodfather, .. Your clearly not intelligent enough to understand the context in which the comment is made. I will go back too scripting now. | 23:57 |
| szal | !anyone | urgodfather <- hfic: that would have been more fitting | 23:57 |
| ubottu | urgodfather <- hfic: that would have been more fitting: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:57 |
| urgodfather | szal did i ever occur that maybe that a preliminary question would be in order that way you can get adequate support from someone who uses/ is experience in that area? | 23:58 |
| urgodfather | it* | 23:58 |
| szal | urgodfather: it's mostly superfluous.. ask your support question, and if someone knows an answer you will get on | 23:59 |
| szal | e | 23:59 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore You cant chance any settings from the network manager? | 23:59 |
