| tortib | Hello everyone, how do I restart the network device in ubuntu? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| histo | tortib: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:01 |
| Cheapshot | ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up | 00:01 |
| histo | tortib: or sudo service networking restart | 00:01 |
| stercor | can I upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04.1? If so, what´s the command? | 00:01 |
| histo | !upgrade | stercor | 00:01 |
| ubottu | stercor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:01 |
| urgodfather | szal, but then how would you know that the response isnt something just easily picked up by a friendly user who took the liberty to search it in google than regurgitated the collected information vs someone who knows the correct answoer from experience | 00:02 |
| tortib | $ sudo service networking restart restart: Unknown instance: | 00:02 |
| wrapids | IT's stil doing it with the alt cd | 00:02 |
| wrapids | imguring a pic of it, gimme a sec | 00:02 |
| histo | tortib: just sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:03 |
| tortib | got it thanks | 00:03 |
| histo | tortib: although either command should work | 00:04 |
| Cheapshot | tortib do you just want to restart the connectionts or? For that use sudo ifdown -a and to get it up use sudo ifup -a | 00:04 |
| Cheapshot | that takes down and back up all the network interfaces | 00:04 |
| tortib | yeah /etc/init.d/networking restart was the better choice | 00:05 |
| tortib | thanks | 00:05 |
| szal | urgodfather: if you're so anal about that, you could as well ask in #konversation | 00:05 |
| shaladore | Cheapshot: sorry was reading emails.. Well Junk mail... But it won't let me edit the connections and it doesn't even say there is a connection when i get in there the hard way | 00:06 |
| histo | tortib: I think it may have to be sudo service networking --restart | 00:06 |
| wrapids | I get this: http://tinypic.com/r/14upf4/6 Every time I try to install ubuntu. With/without alternative install disc | 00:07 |
| histo | tortib: both accomplish the same thing though | 00:07 |
| urgodfather | szal, my point is... anyone can do a google search. not everyone has experience in that said topic. so maybe a preliminary question would be in order so that you can identify those with experience/ disqualify those without. either way, i resolved the issue thanks to an unnamed user how happened to chat message me purely b/c i ask "does anyone use konversation...?" | 00:07 |
| shaladore | cheapshot: gives error when i try to see connection info. | 00:07 |
| histo | wrapids: do you get anything before that such as the grub menu? | 00:07 |
| wrapids | histo: This is on a new install, I get the menu for "boot from cd, live boot, blah blah". With alt version I get the Ubuntu - - - - splash screen. | 00:08 |
| urgodfather | szal, clearly you know ALL about the term anal. | 00:08 |
| wrapids | After those, it goes into this. | 00:08 |
| histo | wrapids: on the splash screen you can push F6 for more options right? | 00:08 |
| histo | wrapids: there's a vga safe option I can't remember the name of it | 00:08 |
| szal | urgodfather: no need to get personal, now stop bragging already | 00:09 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore try if editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and turn "managed=false" to "managed=true | 00:11 |
| juan_ | #ubuntu-es | 00:11 |
| Cheapshot | and do a sudo service network-manager restart | 00:12 |

| ubottu | juan_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 00:12 |
| shaladore | I seem to be missing that directory | 00:12 |
| Cheapshot | you dont find the networkmanager.conf? | 00:13 |
| DG_ | Hey guys, is it possible to have a live wallpaper like on android? | 00:13 |
| DG_ | i heard it was but im not sure if it's true | 00:13 |
| shaladore | hola juan.. englasho | 00:13 |
| shaladore | sp? | 00:13 |
| wrapids | histo: f6 is taking me to a command line that shows \the progress of the splash | 00:13 |
| shaladore | been a long time since i typed spanish | 00:13 |
| shaladore | I don't find the directory NetworkManager | 00:14 |

| Cheapshot | wrapids when you boot to the ubuntu menu press f6 and turn acpi=off and add line --vga=791 in the end of the command line | 00:14 |
| Cheapshot | and then boot it | 00:14 |
| shaladore | I do think something might not of installed correctly | 00:15 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore did you type it exactly NetworkManager | 00:15 |
| airshock | Hello all Ubuntu users, I'm new to getting help in IRC but wanted to see if I could throw my question out there and see if anyone could help. I'm running Ubnut Server 12.04 x86-64 and am trying to build Apache from source, but am getting an error. It reads, "openssl/opensslv.h not found", and "OpenSSL version is too old". But running the command "openssl version" shows 1.0.1 or something like that. Not sure how to solve this issue. | 00:16 |
| Cheapshot | try cd / etc/ | 00:16 |
| shaladore | tried upper lower and abbrevated. | 00:16 |
| Cheapshot | and ls | 00:16 |
| Mitsu | airshock: you need to install the development headers for openssl probably | 00:16 |
| szal | Cheapshot: you can't put 2 paths in the cd command ;) | 00:16 |
| shaladore | ahh found it.. hold one | 00:17 |
| wrapids | Cheapshot: thanks a bunc, acpi workarounds did the trick | 00:17 |
| Mitsu | airshock: try installing libssl-dev | 00:17 |
| airshock | Mitsu: Would that be openssl-dev? On CentOS its openssl-devel but not sure what it is on Ubuntu. | 00:17 |
| Mitsu | it'd be something like that, yeah. i think you need the development headers to build software that depends on it. | 00:18 |
| airshock | Mitsu: just saw your MSG, trying to install that now. | 00:18 |
| Mitsu | i think it's libssl-dev if i'm not mistaken | 00:18 |
| shaladore | that did it.. glad it was something simple.. thanks Cheapshot. | 00:18 |
| shaladore | I hate being a noob.. | 00:18 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore It worked? nice | 00:19 |
| airshock | Mitsu: That worked, and now Apache is building without any issues. Thanks for the help. :) | 00:19 |
| shaladore | Yeppers thanks again Cheapshot.. is there anything that i can find use look up about more on ubuntu and server? | 00:19 |
| shaladore | or just linux in general? | 00:20 |
| Mitsu | your welcome airshock, glad i could help! | 00:20 |
| Mitsu | you're* | 00:20 |
| Cheapshot | shaladore Ubuntu forums have tons of good tutorials and howto's + a nice wiki for basics | 00:24 |
| Areckx | In Ubuntu 10.04, I use a logitech m510 wireless mouse. It worked fine, but just now, it isn't really working. It is moving in reverse, and in only small increments. I just replaced the batteries, and the side-buttons work(I have them set to zoom in compiz) | 00:24 |
| Daniel_ | do i need a swap partition if i have 6gb of ram? | 00:24 |
| shaladore | yeah I went to the ubuntu.com and was checking out things. | 00:24 |
| Daniel_ | i am dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu | 00:25 |
| firewyre | -s couples seduce 23 | 00:26 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: by default, hibernate will be disabled if you don't have a dedicated swap partition. | 00:26 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx Is there anyway you could confirm that the problem only appears on ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| taixzo | Is it possible to add a directory to $PATH containing the '%' character? | 00:27 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx Because it sounds a bit like there is a actualy hardware problem with the mouse | 00:27 |
| Daniel_ | Mitsu: can i still suspend? | 00:27 |
| Daniel_ | i have a laptop | 00:27 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: yeah, but not hibernate. | 00:27 |
| Daniel_ | Mitsu: by default, when i close the laptop lid does it hybernate or suspend? | 00:28 |
| Deutopia | suspend | 00:28 |
| Mitsu | it is possible to hibernate without a swap partition, but it requires extra setup. | 00:28 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: ubuntu will only hibernate by default if your battery is about to give. | 00:28 |
| Areckx | Cheapshot:: I will try next time my room mate is around | 00:29 |
| Daniel_ | ok thanks so basically this is the first time installing ubuntu and i want to dual boot it with windows, but my hp laptop has already 4 paritions | 00:29 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: if that's the case you can create an "extended partition" | 00:30 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx I'd start solving the problem by cleaning the laser lense first | 00:30 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: an extended partition can contain sub-partitions. | 00:31 |
| Daniel_ | but i still need to deleter one of the paritions right? | 00:31 |
| Deutopia | you can use wubi and install linux like a windows app | 00:32 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: just make all ubuntu-related partitions "logical" partitions instead of "primary" and make them all side-by-side next to eachother. | 00:32 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx Also on wireless mouses a wifi router can actually cause problems if they are close to each other (i know its far fetched but i've seen it happen :) ) | 00:32 |
| Daniel_ | yes but can i have 4 primary partitions + and extended parition? | 00:32 |
| Cheapshot | I mean the receiver and router being close eachother | 00:33 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: shrink your windows partition to make room for ubuntu, and then in the free space you created, create the ubuntu partition and the swap partition as logical partitions. | 00:33 |
| Mitsu | why do you have 4 primary partitions? | 00:33 |
| Mitsu | MBR-formatted hard drives can't have more than 4 | 00:34 |
| Mitsu | and if you have 4 primary partitions you can't have any logical/extended partitions | 00:34 |
| Areckx | Cheapshot:: I tested it on my friend's Win7 machine and it had the same problem | 00:34 |
| === Guest86395 is now known as ajbiz11 | ||

| Guest8784 | Algum brasileiro por aqui ? | 00:36 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx Ok so first clean the lense hole from the bottom with something, if doesnt help swap it to another usb port-> and if nothing works and it doesnt have any warranty left you could always open it and check if the laser module isnt loose | 00:36 |
| Cheapshot | A single hair on the lense makes the mouse go wild | 00:37 |

| unless__ | Hey I just created a ssh-keygen -t rsa and I need it to have open access to localhost, then I 've copied like cat id_rsa.put >> authorized_keys and first time I log it asks my password but it keeps asking always. How do I eliminate the need of password for a localhost user? | 00:40 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: what is hp_tools? | 00:40 |
| Daniel_ | i am not sure | 00:41 |
| Daniel_ | i am afraid to delete it though | 00:41 |
| Mitsu | try looking inside? | 00:41 |
| Daniel_ | i thing i am deleting recovery | 00:41 |
| Mitsu | do you have windows 7, Daniel_? | 00:41 |
| Daniel_ | yes mitsu | 00:41 |
| Cheapshot | Daniel_ Im making a wild assumption that you have a prebuild hp computer and the hp_tools contain the recovery files for hp's windows 7 | 00:42 |
| Daniel_ | probably | 00:42 |
| Cheapshot | and you werent shipped with a windows 7 disc | 00:42 |
| Mitsu | i think you can go ahead and delete the HP partitions. if you want to reinstall windows, just download it and use your activation key printed on the sticker on your computer. | 00:42 |
| Mitsu | the windows 7 disc is downloadable. | 00:42 |
| Daniel_ | ok after i delete the hp_tools? | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | has to be the oem though most likely. | 00:43 |
| Daniel_ | do i create a new primary or extended parition? | 00:43 |
| bobweaver | unless__, you need to change /etc/ssh/sshd and ssh conf file's uncomment the lines and put yes for suth | 00:43 |
| bobweaver | auth * | 00:43 |
| bobweaver | unless__, I made a video | 00:43 |
| Mitsu | create an extended partition, and inside create a 6GB swap partition and fill the remaining space with an ext4 partition. | 00:44 |
| unless__ | bobweaver, where is it ? | 00:44 |
| Deutopia | don't rely on the HP recovery disk maker. i've seen those things fail time and time again. (Eg; the recovery disks made by my gateway laptop don't work for that laptop) | 00:44 |
| Guest8784 | Help me compiz fusion | 00:44 |
| Mitsu | then install ubuntu onto the ext4 partition, as / | 00:44 |
| bobweaver | unless__, changing to port that is not 22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YzCxBkx6GQ | 00:44 |
| bobweaver | unless__, changing to have no auth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRLzCHkfW8A | 00:45 |
| Daniel_ | what an ext4 parition? how can i create it on widnows | 00:45 |
| Deutopia | you cant | 00:45 |
| Deutopia | you do that in the ubuntu setup | 00:45 |
| Daniel_ | so after i delete the hp_tools paritions, i create and extended parition, install ubuntu and create the swap and ex4 parition while installing | 00:46 |
| Daniel_ | right? | 00:47 |
| Deutopia | do you have backups? do you have a disk to restore windows if everything were to ever melt down? | 00:47 |
| Mitsu | Daniel_: you will have to shrink and move some partitions, which could take several hours for your computer to complete. | 00:47 |
| === d0ze is now known as d0zetop | ||
| Mitsu | shrink your C partition to make room for logical ext4 and swap partitions | 00:48 |
| Areckx | Cheapshot:: I think I'll put it aside for now. I have work to do | 00:48 |
| Cheapshot | Areckx yeah :) i've had plenty of similar problems with logitech mice and usually ended up tearing them apart and putting it back together | 00:50 |
| airshock | Hi all. Can anyone explain to me why the following warning occurs?

| WACOMalt | Because system updates are running | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | are they | 02:10 |

| ubottu | WACOMalt: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | WACOMalt, you can only use the software center or apt-get individually not at the same time | 02:11 |
| WACOMalt | I'm aware | 02:11 |
| WACOMalt | I'm saying just in software center its not queueing apps when system updates are running like it used to | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | there may be conflicts, hard to say I don't use the software center. | 02:12 |

| unperson | None of the messages on screen before the busybox prompt seem to clearly indicate an error. | 02:15 |

| unperson | Also, if I simply type exit the boot will continue to the GUI without an obvious issue, but rebooting gets me stuck at the busybox prompt again. | 02:16 |
| amagee | ok, so "msdos" should allow me to create large (1TB) ntfs and ext4 partitions that can be used both in linux and in windows 7? | 02:16 |
| unperson | I should clarify that I'm not dual booting (which is mostly what was discussed when I did a little nonspecific googling on the problem). | 02:17 |

| amagee | thanks | 02:17 |

| amagee | umm, does windows 7 still use ntfs? :$ | 02:18 |

| amagee | cool | 02:19 |

| unperson | I've had problems long ago (with previous configs on previous OS versions) where I got kicked out into busybox, but IIRC they were usually preceded by an error message that gave some clue of what the issue was. And generally just exiting busybox did not allow boot to continue successfully, so I'm very confused. | 02:22 |

| unperson | violinappren, It's funny. I've been running Ubuntu since warty and for a long time version upgrades went quite smoothly. One of the things I liked about Ubuntu is that it "just worked".

| Nikozzzzzz | oh i see. I thought you had problem with already created live cd. Sory cant help you with that( | 03:14 |
| domtron | wilee-nilee: I was hoping not to use that because it requires a net connection and mine isn't very good. | 03:14 |
| Nikozzzzzz | Share it as root. Root owns everything | 03:14 |
| black_13 | Nikozzzzzz: yeah i get a lot of that | 03:15 |
| domtron | Nikozzzzzz: I want my system to have gui just not the installer | 03:15 |
| wilee-nilee | domtron, Your best having a net connection if you can, the alternative is not the mini it will do a full install without the net. | 03:15 |

| tenshinoneko | hello ^_^ anyone have any experience full installing in a macbook air? | 04:03 |
| unless__ | I am suffering from lots of spam from my server. I already told the guys but nothing has being made. Now the best option I see is move along to a new server, but I wonder is there isn't a option to install to avoid suck spam issues, is it? | 04:03 |
| DG_ | it should update the bootloader list if you installed it and it doesn't show up thats what it's used for | 04:03 |
| OerHeks | tenshinoneko, did you have a look at the mactel pages ? | 04:03 |

| Jak_Atackka | Help! My computer keeps crashing! | 04:30 |
| mattwj2002 | hi Jak_Atackka what is going on? | 04:30 |
| Nikozzzzzz | BSOD :D | 04:31 |
| Jak_Atackka | Just that, the computer completely freezes, requiring me to hold down the power button until it turns off. I've tried reinstalling it. The RAM is in perfect condition (according to memtest), so I suspect it's a driver issue | 04:31 |
| mattwj2002 | did you do updates and restart receively? | 04:31 |
| mattwj2002 | recently | 04:31 |
| Jak_Atackka | No. However, on my first install, the first thing I did is install every update, and I still had the crash. This time, I didn't install any | 04:32 |
| Jak_Atackka | It's been crashing like this since day 1 | 04:32 |
| mattwj2002 | hmm | 04:32 |
| mattwj2002 | no idea here | 04:33 |
| Areckx | SSH into iPhone, no route to host | 04:33 |
| Jak_Atackka | I'm using Intel HD 4000 graphics, which is the integrated graphics on my processor. Driver support is practically nonexistent | 04:33 |
| orated | Hello! I've scheduled a command in cron to run in every 10 minutes as - */10 * * * * sh ~/IP_konv.sh - but it is not working. How do I find why its not working? | 04:33 |
| mattwj2002 | if you did updates recently and it started I was thinking maybe a kernel upgrade problem or video card drivers | 04:33 |
| thomedy | i need to update icedtea | 04:37 |
| thomedy | can i run apt-get update | 04:37 |
| DHR | Jak_Atackka: you can play with kernel parameters. The easiest way to play is to interrupt grub's booting (hit a character) and edit the menu entry you want to run (changes it only for this run). Go to the kernel line and try adding nomodeset, for example. That will probably force a vesa video driver, one which is crude but may not be buggy. Good luck. | 04:37 |
| imadam | Hello, just upgraded to 12.04, although for some odd reason software centre won't let me install any programs. Any fix? | 04:38 |
| DHR | imadam: does it say why? Perhaps you are not an admin user? | 04:38 |
| Sajan | imadam, what sort of error message are you getting or what is happening when you try to install something? | 04:39 |
| imadam | No error message, running as admin user. The 'install' button just doesn't work within software centre. Been reading up alot of users have the same issue, although I can't find a fix. | 04:39 |

| thomedy | okay so each one of those errors is a key? | 05:10 |
| h22turbo | phunyguy: my tray icon doesnt work... well, its hidden & I havent had time to mess with it | 05:10 |
| phunyguy | h22turbo, in the preferences, there are tray icon settings. | 05:11 |
| thomedy | and your saying i can run the same key with "missing key" as a var with each one | 05:11 |
| phunyguy | but unity only whitelists certain tray icons | 05:11 |
| h22turbo | phunyguy: if i minimize to tray... xchat is hidden. i checked the use tray icon thing. a ps aux shows xchat is still active but tray icon is hidden | 05:11 |
| phunyguy | h22turbo, there is a whitelist file, cant rember where, you can put it in there | 05:12 |
| phunyguy | but in unity, why worry about it. The launcher icon works well | 05:12 |
| h22turbo | phunyguy: yea, i'll get around to it someday. i use gnome fallback... i hate unity | 05:13 |
| phunyguy | h22turbo, some do, others dont, I like it. I think it works well! | 05:13 |
| thomedy | wilee-nilee, if you wouldn't mind going to my pastebin ^^ and helping with the rest | 05:14 |

| thomedy | okay may i ask specifically what you mean by change the mirror | 05:28 |
| blackshirt | bonez2046, i think that was a bug | 05:28 |

| mysteriousdarren | skraito? | 05:29 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, i don't ply with opencl before, but if you need headers and related thing to included needed files, you should install opencl-dev packages ... Thats way debian/ubuntu naming development packages | 05:30 |
| bonez2046 | blackshirt: that 'bug' has been popping up over the last few months. How can I clean it up for when i use dpkg | 05:30 |

| Artemis3 | bonez2046, i have that problem in another machine, been too lazy to fix it, problem is update-manager becomes useless, but apt-get and synaptic do just fine (don't use software center) | 05:36 |
| wilee-nilee | thomedy, You have a closed ppa as well you can remove it probably in the softwrae sources a swell, here is a link regarding the PPA, http://askubuntu.com/questions/169542/want-to-install-latest-blender-ppa-does-not-work | 05:37 |
| bonez2046 | Artemis3: thanks... apt-get is working fine | 05:37 |
| thomedy | your a gem wilee-nilee | 05:38 |
| thomedy | im still doing the first cuz i was a bit distracted | 05:38 |
| Artemis3 | bonez2046, would like to fix it tho, it's annoying to get update-manager nags about "broken count > 1" errors, silly thing :P | 05:38 |
| thomedy | i hope that works i picked one is in illinois... which is a state a way does that sound bad or good? | 05:39 |
| marcagio | I guess nobody can help here? | 05:39 |
| wilee-nilee | thomedy, run a update after choosing that mirror is probably fine, | 05:40 |
| WACOMalt | marcagio, I am not sure, but have you tried other SATA ports for it? | 05:41 |
| thomedy | it seems to be better im doing the 2nd thing now | 05:41 |
| thomedy | and then runing an apt-get update | 05:41 |
| WACOMalt | marcagio, I know on my system there are certain ports that dont behave well with ubuntu | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | remove the PPA as well, and use the one suggested on the link page before running the apt-get update | 05:42 |
| wilee-nilee | thomedy, ^^^^ | 05:42 |
| WACOMalt | and I have to go, bye folks | 05:42 |

| loyd1234 | i am a new people to learn the ubuntu | 05:50 |
| prodigy | good luck with that | 05:50 |
| marcagio | prodigy... your question reveals how much you don't know about the pilosophy | 05:50 |
| wilee-nilee | thomedy, removing PPA can be confusing the first time, here is a link on adding, removing and purging, and turning them off. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/how-to-use-launchpad-ppa-add-remove.html | 05:50 |

| marcagio | prodigy, take the blue pill and go back to sleep with the rest of the humans | 05:52 |
| thomedy | i probably can exaem but i have no idea wha tim doing and no one said tha tyet...so let me follow your directions and see if i can | 05:52 |
| thomedy | one sec thank you by the way | 05:52 |
| examancer | thomedy: you'll find them under other software and can just remove them in the nice gui | 05:52 |

| examancer | prodigy: i'm not sure in what way you find windows easier | 05:53 |
| marcagio | prodigy, neo did not go back to sleep... | 05:53 |
| examancer | its certainly easier and more reliable to install software in ubuntu, IMO | 05:53 |
| examancer | apt beats the hell out of running random EXEs | 05:53 |
| prodigy | i know but since I don't have that option...i am not him | 05:53 |
| examancer | and the software center even gives a nice pretty gui for you windows users | 05:54 |
| marcagio | examancer is right... Windows is for wussies who will never have sex and play fucking games instead of freeing their minds... | 05:54 |
| prodigy | hmmm let me think...everything about windows is awesome | 05:54 |

When I started the installer again, it no longer offered the 12.04 update, and claimed the partition was runn | 07:49 |

| Floorduck | Could someone guide me through re-partitioning of my computer and the installation of lubuntu? :l | 07:58 |
| andreb | any ideas on what can e wrong :( | 07:58 |
| Floorduck | I installed linux as an auxillary OS on a newly-created partion. | 07:58 |
| szal | Floorduck: empty disk or dual-boot? | 07:58 |
| Floorduck | But I also resized the windows one and ended up with a partition that "did not start on a physical sector boundary" | 07:59 |
| Floorduck | dual-boot, I guess | 07:59 |
| tuffgong | auronandace, if so how can i access by using terminal with the help of commands | 07:59 |
| szal | Floorduck: the physical sector boundary thing isn't important any more these days, the warning is there for historical reasons, I guess | 08:00 |
| stephans | hello | 08:00 |
| Floorduck | Perhaps a performance decrease in windows is simply in my head? | 08:00 |
| ezio | crap | 08:00 |
| stephans | is there a screen reader for ubuntu (not the one that reads the title bar and the menu items but the one that you can select text and have it read to you)? | 08:01 |
| ezio | my issue cannot be resolved | 08:01 |
| szal | Floorduck: depends on how much you've shrunk that Windows partition | 08:01 |
| Floorduck | I'm just worried that I've done something wrong and somehow tarnished the quality of my OS installs | 08:01 |
| Floorduck | Its 150 gigs | 08:01 |
| Floorduck | The laptop is brand new, so I'm not averse to reformatting if it means improved performance/reliability. | 08:01 |
| === bgstrx is now known as bagus | ||
| Calinou | windows + performance...? | 08:02 |
| Floorduck | I suppose I could abandon the idea of dualbooting and simply install linux... | 08:03 |
| szal | Floorduck: in that case: wipe the disk, use a Linux live CD to create one primary partition & format it w/ NTFS, install Windows on said partition, then install Linux & let the installer do the partitioning | 08:03 |
| Calinou | if you use windows-specific software, maybe not, though you can run windows software using Wine in linux | 08:03 |
| szal | Floorduck: a partition in the above named size range, that is | 08:04 |
| szal | leaving the rest of the HDD unpartitioned, the installer can then take care of that | 08:04 |
| szal | though I'm not entirely positive that this will improve performance | 08:05 |
| Floorduck | I'd prefer the cleanliness of such an installation :P | 08:05 |
| Floorduck | maybe that's weird but... oh well. | 08:05 |
| Floorduck | When I bought the laptop there were already 2 hidden drive which confused me somewhat while installing linux... would it be harmful to do away with them? | 08:06 |
| stephans | Floorduck, it could be... | 08:07 |

| guest49026 | hii all | 08:07 |
| kevin | Floorduck: yeah, like recovery partitions | 08:07 |
| guest49026 | i need help with camera | 08:07 |
| stephans | Floorduck, one partition is likely you system restore and the other one is a boot partition that allows you to encrypt the hard drive | 08:07 |
| guest49026 | how i make a trigger with echo to start record | 08:08 |
| Floorduck | So I suppose I should keep them, then? | 08:09 |
| stephans | Floorduck, if you are not planning on keeping windows for commercial apps.. then you could simply destroy all the partitions and install ubuntu | 08:09 |
| Floorduck | I'm a bit afraid of doing that | 08:09 |
| Floorduck | You see, I know nothing about linux :[ | 08:09 |
| stephans | Floorduck, however the standard i386 dos standard allows you to have 4 primary partition... you need atleast 2 for ubuntu | 08:09 |
| Wizard | Floorduck: Patient, be patient, my pretty young padawan ;P | 08:10 |
| === WACOMalt is now known as WACOMalt|AFK | ||
| ssta | Floorduck: keep them then | 08:10 |
| ssta | stephans: no, linux doesn't need any primary partitions | 08:10 |
| stephans | so you will need to create a logial partition with 2 partitions in it | 08:10 |
| stephans | as linux can boot from any device | 08:10 |
| Floorduck | It installed itself in an extended partiton I think | 08:10 |
| guest49026 | how i make a trigger with echo to start record? | 08:10 |
| Floorduck | I already have 3 partitions, so it must have | 08:10 |

| RPG-Master | I ask because I'm trying to move the one desktop off of a stupid CAT5 running through the hall way, and put it on wifi. But right now my speeds have gone from 25mbps to 10 and I'm making sure I get this set up to run as best as possible. | 08:27 |
| RPG-Master | No advice/answers? | 08:33 |
| ssta | RPG-Master: 10mbit/s doesn't sound awful. If you only have one datastream (likely), then that's aroundabout right | 08:33 |
| blackshirt | sorry rpg-master, i just join here for a seconds, | 08:33 |
| lotuspsychje | RPG-Master:maybe try to ask a fulled described question | 08:34 |

| michy | \join #ubuntu-it | 08:36 |
| RPG-Master | Sorry. My question is, does Ubuntu support Wireless N, or do I need to stick to G? | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | michy: use a slash instead of a switch :) | 08:36 |
| ssta | RPG-Master: it's a bit more complex than that. .11n achieves its (theoretical) maximum of 600Mbit by using 4 channels at once, and by driving 4 streams along each channel simultaneously (sort of). Basically ignore that the box says it can do 600mbit, that's an aggregate rate for many devices at once in theoretical optimal conditions... | 08:36 |
| blackshirt | rpg-master, i think yes | 08:37 |
| ssta | RPG-Master: ubuntu supports N if your card supports N | 08:37 |
| lotuspsychje | RPG-Master:ubuntu supports all wifi | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ssta: and if the driver supports it | 08:37 |
| ssta | RPG-Master: but N isn't all that the box on the N router claims for it | 08:37 |
| ssta | ActionParsnip: true | 08:37 |
| RPG-Master | Well, I'm not expecting to full 300mbps on the box, but I do want whatever will get me as close to my wired connection speed. | 08:37 |

| RPG-Master | ActionParsnip: It's late here and I'm not thinking straight. :( | 08:48 |
| Dyrk | See, I have a pc running ubuntu 12.04 and $ window xp, the question is whether it is possible to upgrade xp to w7 without deleting my dear ubuntu? | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | RPG-Master: you can, just not in here. This is for released versions, the prereleases are always supported in #ubuntu+1 | 08:48 |
| e-v-o | ActionParsnip: ah wait. I meant to install on the drive not to create a Live USB disk, which basically copying the installation image to the USB instead of installing to the usb. | 08:48 |
| ssta | Dyrk: it's unlikely to delete ubuntu, it IS likely to remove tyhe bootloader though | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Dyrk: I'd personally do a fresh reinstall | 08:48 |
| RPG-Master | ActionParsnip: That's what I mean, I knew about #ubuntu+1, but forgot about just now. :P | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Dyrk: leave unpartitioned space to install Ubuntu to when you install Windows | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | RPG-Master: no worries dude :) | 08:49 |
| RPG-Master | But yeah, sorry for troubling y'all. :) | 08:49 |
| e-v-o | ActionParsnip: did you see my msg? | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: you can make a persistance so changes stick | 08:52 |
| e-v-o | ActionParsnip: but it is technically the installation disk right? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: yes but the changes you make along the way are saved so you can upgrade the OS and so forth | 08:53 |
| e-v-o | actually I wonder, what are the difference between the Live CD and the actual installation?! | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: one is on CD, one is on the HDD | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: you can do anything in the liveCD that you can do in an installed OS except reboot to a later kernel | 08:56 |
| Deutopia | as far as i can tell the only difference is the casper-rw file (or partition) | 08:56 |
| === jakub is now known as jakub_r | ||
| e-v-o | what is the point of the installation then? I thought it got more specific drivers for the current machine, instead of generic ones used by the Live CD. | 08:57 |
| e-v-o | i.e better performance | 08:58 |
| Deutopia | not all the apps are installed, and there are some limitations / things you have to workaround that you wouldnt in an installed version | 08:58 |
| apg | Guys, I want to ask something. Why don't the menus in Libreoffice be alike the others' apps-menu in unity? | 08:59 |
| ssta | you do get better performance (disk is generally a LOT faster than CD for example). The livecd needs a large chunk of memory as a ramdisk to unpack things into that you don't need when installed... | 08:59 |
| Deutopia | and i might be wrong, but i think in persistent mode, deleting files just gets them out of your face. you cant re-use the disk space the deleted file occupied | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: no, the OS is identical. ust saves you having to slow boot each time and have to keep extra media handy | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | apg: do you have lo-menubar installed? | 08:59 |
| apg | nope | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | apg: thats probably going to be a step in the right direction | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: you are also limited to storage in RAM, so you will have finitite storage as your apps also need RAM to execute | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !info lo-menubar | 09:01 |
| ubottu | lo-menubar (source: lo-menubar): A LibreOffice extension for the global menubar. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.0-0ubuntu4 (precise), package size 37 kB, installed size 144 kB | 09:01 |
| e-v-o | ssta: yes I know that. That's why I am trying to install it on a USB pen drive. | 09:01 |
| Deutopia | e-v-o; and i might be wrong, but i think in persistent mode, deleting files just gets them out of your face. you cant re-use the disk space the deleted file occupied | 09:02 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: so how can I install to the USB drive instead of just copying the Live CD image across? | 09:02 |
| ssta | e-v-o: oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to put the installer on the USB. Umm, I have installed to a pendrive a few releases ago (Lucid I think), not sure, but I think I used the alternate installer so I could control where teh boot record went | 09:03 |
| e-v-o | ssta: is there a how-to? | 09:03 |
| ssta | e-v-o: I dunno, pretty sure I didn't use a howto | 09:04 |

| e-v-o | and could I take the installed ubuntu USB and plug it into any computer? | 09:04 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: yes | 09:05 |
| apg | e-v-o, based on my experience, yes | 09:05 |
| e-v-o | thanks ActionParsnip, that's a heck of a how-to!! : ) | 09:06 |
| apg | But, you'll have to change the Boot Priority option everytime you want to run it on other computers | 09:06 |
| e-v-o | apg: ah yes. | 09:06 |
| Deutopia | e-v-o; just install as normal, but during the partitioner section, make sure you are only installing to the USB and that the bootloader (grub) is installing to the USB | 09:06 |
| e-v-o | apg: do you know how to do that on a mac? | 09:06 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: yeah the boot loader appears to be the tricky bit! | 09:07 |
| apg | Well, haven't give a hand on a mac, so far :)) | 09:07 |
| Deutopia | in the partitioner screen: scroll down. make sure you have the correct "sd" selected | 09:08 |
| Deutopia | the mac uses an Intel CPU so i dont think it would really be different | 09:08 |
| Deutopia | i used to install yellowdog onto old imacs and it was the same as installing buntu | 09:09 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: I'm going to try your method now. ActionParsnip's how-to mentions editing the grub file manually after installation, which I am likely to mess up : ) | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: you should be ok | 09:10 |
| apg | By the way, e-v-o, why don't you just make the ubuntu install in flash-disk via the startup-disk-creator? | 09:11 |
| e-v-o | apg: how so? | 09:12 |
| apg | Sorry, if I missed something in the conversation. | 09:12 |
| ssta | apg: because that's basically just putting the live CD on the USB stick, which isn't what he wants | 09:12 |
| Deutopia | every time i try that startup-disk creator i end up having to re-install grub cuz it wont boot. | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Deutopia: do you use EUFI or whatever it is now? | 09:13 |
| Deutopia | no | 09:13 |
| Guido1 | hello, i have some problems with the sound on ubuntu 10.04 | 09:13 |

| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| apg | in persistent filesystem mode | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | could grab an extra HDD and install to that instead | 09:14 |
| Deutopia | you cant re-use disk space in persistent mode | 09:14 |
| ssta | apg: sure, but it still has all the other disadvantages of live (you can't customise much, you can't really install packages, it's slow, it eats up massive amounts of RAM...) | 09:15 |
| apg | Okay, if that's the reason :) | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Could just use puppy :) | 09:15 |
| Deutopia | im stuck with persistent mode cuz my HDD broke and it wont install to the flash drive (something wrong with the drive), but it works fine in persistent mode | 09:16 |

| ActionParsnip | ahhh | 09:20 |
| speiros | All the best, and I'll be back when I have a better internet connection, and a later version of ubuntu, or if I have a problem. Take care. | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:tnx mate very light and no page loading anymore now, cool pagebrowsing with left/right | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: fast as lightening, I proposed it for Lubuntu but it lacks features apparently | 09:22 |

| faLUCE | hi. I can't open two usb cameras simoultaneously. It says VIDIOC_STREAMON failed, no space left on device, although I'm sure I'm not exceeding the 2.0 bandwidth, with the sum of the two cameras ... where can be the problem? I googled ans saw many other people having this issue but couldn't understand what to do. kernel is 3.0.0-13-generic | 09:23 |
| Kartagis | hi | 09:24 |
| Kartagis | what does hvc0 mean in a ps x output= | 09:24 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: I'm running the installation and came to the Installation Type screen with 3 options... | 09:24 |
| Guido1 | hello, i have some problems with the sound on ubuntu 10.04. there are some songs and sounds i can play with totem without problems, but if i open them with VLC or try to use them as a mailalert by mozilla they don't sound corrrectly. what can i do to fix it? | 09:24 |
| ssta | Kartagis: it's part of the Xen infrastructure | 09:25 |
| e-v-o | 1. Intall alongside… 2. Erase disk and install… 3. Something else... | 09:25 |
| ssta | Kartagis: "HyperVisor Console 0" IIRC | 09:25 |
| e-v-o | if i pick 2. can I then selected the USB drive? | 09:25 |
| Kartagis | ssta: phew, so somebody is logged on with xm console? | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | s/with/via/ | 09:26 |
| ssta | Kartagis: I *think* it's always there if you're running under Xen, but I'm not sure | 09:26 |
| ssta | I don't have any Xen enabled systems right now to check with | 09:27 |
| Kartagis | I'll have to check that, I don't remember seeing it before | 09:27 |
| Kartagis | I'll just kill it | 09:27 |
| Deutopia | e-v-o; pick something else | 09:27 |
| e-v-o | guys, to do a custom installation on a USB drive, what mount points do I need to select? : / | 09:27 |
| Deutopia | partition only the USB and install only to USB and make sure bootloader installs to USB (scroll down) | 09:28 |
| === fantaghiro is now known as fanthagir | ||
| Deutopia | "/" for the big one and a small swap | 09:28 |
| e-v-o | yes but apparently I have to manually specify which mount points go where!! | 09:28 |
| Deutopia | small like as much ram is in your system | 09:28 |
| e-v-o | oh, so I must create 2 partitions on the USB? | 09:29 |
| Deutopia | yes delete the USB drives partition and create a new ext4 partition and mount as "/" | 09:29 |
| fanthagir | e-v-o, like swap and / | 09:29 |
| Deutopia | "/" is kinda like "C:\" in winblows | 09:30 |
| fanthagir | e-v-o, btw it s much slower I think on USB | 09:30 |
| fanthagir | e-v-o, mainly boot | 09:30 |
| msmith0957 | Oh, hey there ActionParsnip. Problem under control, thanks. | 09:30 |
| e-v-o | fanthagir: I know but it's faster than Live CD right? | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | msmith0957: awesome | 09:30 |
| fanthagir | e-v-o, right | 09:30 |
| ssta | *LOTS* faster than Live CD | 09:30 |
| Deutopia | yes. USB is serial. can only read or write at 1 time. cant do both at the same time. plus it is a very slow bus | 09:30 |
| e-v-o | I know, but this is the compromise my gf agreed to after I told her I could not warranty a risk free installation of Ubuntu alongside Win. | 09:31 |
| e-v-o | it would be so handy if there was a visual way of creating partitions in the installer... | 09:32 |
| ssta | e-v-o: if you have an external; SATA port, I've found that installing to an SSD connected to that works amazingly well | 09:32 |
| e-v-o | ssta: sadly not, it's a fairly old laptop. | 09:33 |
| Deutopia | you can install ubuntu inside windows (like it was any other app and uninstall later if you choose) if you use Wubi | 09:33 |
| ssta | shame | 09:33 |
| === willythewisp_ is now known as willythewisp | ||
| e-v-o | Deutopia: yeah I know, someone suggested that yesterday but then I'd have to re-install Ubuntu if I decide to wipe Windows later (fingers crossed ; ) | 09:34 |
| ssta | e-v-o: another alternative is to install inside win, but in a VM (both virtualbox and vmware-player are free and work pretty well) | 09:34 |
| Kartagis | ssta: I confirmed that it's actually someone logged in via xm console because the line also reads -bash, but when somebody is sitting there via xm console but not logged in, what previously read -bash now reads /sbin/mingetty console, but it still reads hvc0 | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | e-v-o: There is a visual way to create partitions in the installer. | 09:35 |
| Guido1 | i have some problems with the sound on ubuntu 10.04. there are some songs and sounds i can play with totem without problems, but if i open them with VLC or try to use them as a mailalert by mozilla they don't sound corrrectly. what can i do to fix it? | 09:35 |
| ssta | Kartagis: ah, that makes sense | 09:35 |
| Kartagis | s/actually/indees | 09:35 |
| e-v-o | ssta: yep, but the whole point of using Ubuntu is because the machine is so over bloated with crap that a snail can overtake it. | 09:35 |
| Kartagis | s/actually/indeed/ | 09:35 |
| Deutopia | really, other than taking 10 minutes to fully boot, installing on USB is a great option and should be recommended / explained more | 09:35 |
| e-v-o | ssta: so virtualising I don't think would improve the user experience. | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guido1: does it affect all users? | 09:36 |
| blackshirt | i think that was right | 09:36 |
| ssta | Deutopia: feel free to write some HOWTOs | 09:36 |
| Deutopia | (20 minutes if its USB 1.1) | 09:36 |
| Kartagis | Deutopia: what's taking 10 minutes to fully boot, Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Guido1 any reason why you don't upgrade to 12.04? | 09:36 |
| Guido1 | ActionParsnip: i'm the only user of the laptop | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Guido1: make a new one to test then. | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Guido1: your OS can hold literally billions of users | 09:37 |
| Kartagis | Deutopia: ah, through USB | 09:37 |
| Deutopia | kartagis; 'buntu when installed to USB | 09:37 |
| Deutopia | yeah | 09:37 |
| Kartagis | Deutopia: any chance to test that with USB 3.0? | 09:37 |
| e-v-o | guys, I need help creating these partitions. for the /boot is it primary or logic? | 09:37 |
| Kartagis | (just curious) | 09:37 |
| Guido1 | MonkeyDust: yes, my laptop is not the best and to slow for the newer versions. moreover i don't like the new design very much | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | e-v-o: you won't need a separate /boot partition, just make one for / and one for swap | 09:38 |
| === WACOMalt|AFK is now known as WACOMalt | ||
| Deutopia | nope im literally a bum and cant be buying nice things like a replacement hard drive or a new comp w/ USB3 | 09:38 |
| ssta | I have 60ish servers still on 10.04...and I doubt they'll ever get 12.04 | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Guido1 support for 10.04 will sooon end | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | soon* | 09:38 |
| WACOMalt | hey folks, how can I change the icon on a unity dash shortcut? | 09:38 |
| apg | I think it is not really necessary to create a partition for /boot | 09:38 |
| WACOMalt | or change the command? | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | e-v-o: Either one works, though having a separate /boot/ is pointless unless you have a buggy BIOS. Also, why are you using manual rather than guided partitioning? | 09:38 |
| e-v-o | Sooy, I meant /swap ActionParsnip… oops | 09:39 |
| e-v-o | *sorry | 09:39 |
| Guido1 | ActionParsnip: i think that depends on the space and because of the space i'm always working with external HDs. how can i creat a new user? | 09:39 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: because during install I chose something else and I am trying got install to USB drive. | 09:39 |
| fidel | hi - question regarding the cli rss app newsbeuter - in case someone is using it on ubuntu as well. is there an option to let the 'open article in browser' action open the link in the background & not lose the focus from the newsbeuter main-window? right now tthe window-focus jumps mit every open action to firefox which is annoying for me. tried asking in #newsbeuter already without feedback so far. | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | e-v-o: Why did you chose "something else"? | 09:40 |
| kanliot | i'm trying to help a user doing apt-get upgrade on a new install. Is there any reason he's doing apt-get upgrade? I don't understand | 09:40 |
| skraito | hi guys | 09:40 |
| Guido1 | MonkeyDust: then i will probaply switch to kubuntu or keep the last version | 09:40 |
| skraito | whats the application for converting file to youtube format ? | 09:40 |
| WACOMalt | Is 12.04LTS still the newest Ubuntu? | 09:40 |
| skraito | for ubuntu | 09:40 |
| ssta | WACOMalt: yes | 09:40 |
| WACOMalt | kk | 09:40 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: Because I'm trying to install to USB pen drive. I NOT want to remove the current OS nor do I want to install alongside it. | 09:40 |
| ssta | WACOMalt: 12.10 is in beta right now (will release next month) | 09:41 |
| WACOMalt | Another question, has Ubuntu Studio switched to Unity yet? | 09:41 |
| Deutopia | best option is to make an ext4 "/" partition. then a 800MB swap partition | 09:41 |
| apg | the newest point release 12.04.1 | 09:41 |
| === bobbyaldol_AFK is now known as bobbyaldol | ||
| Jordan_U | e-v-o: Installing to USB should not require chosing "something else", but it doesn't hurt anything to use manual partitioning (it's just more work). | 09:42 |
| WACOMalt | What are some good way to speed up an Ubuntu that was installed onto USB 2.0 drive? | 09:42 |
| Deutopia | Jordan_U, whoa dude. thats not the deal. you are going to get him in trouble. | 09:42 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: oh, what's the easiest way then? The other 2 options sounded too scary to try out : ) | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | Deutopia: What do you mean? | 09:42 |
| Deutopia | e-v-o; if you dont "choose something else" it will install to your hard drive which is what you dont want | 09:43 |
| fidel | WACOMalt: bootchart might help hhecking the boot process in general in detail. maybe a first step towards messing around with optimization | 09:43 |
| WACOMalt | manual partitioning is for those that know how to do manual partitioning. There is nothing bad or good about it aside from its more risky if you dont know what you are doing. | 09:43 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: that's what I thought | 09:43 |
| WACOMalt | fidel, ok cool I'll look into that | 09:43 |
| kanliot | manual partitioning also requires more RAM to run in ubiquity | 09:43 |
| e-v-o | Ok, I'll halt everything till there's consensus in the room : ) | 09:43 |
| WACOMalt | meeeehhhhhh | 09:43 |
| apg | Agree with deutopia | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | Deutopia: I've installed Ubuntu to a USB drive without using manual partitioning (though admittedly, that was with an older version of Ubuntu). | 09:44 |
| WACOMalt | I just did recently O_o | 09:44 |
| WACOMalt | it let me choose it as a drive just like my hard drives | 09:44 |
| WACOMalt | like.. I literally just finished doing that :P | 09:44 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: but then doesn't the boot loader installt o the hard drive and crap out the host OS? | 09:45 |
| WACOMalt | didnt for me | 09:45 |
| Deutopia | partition USB into an 800MB swap partition and the rest as an ext4 "/" partition and make sure bootloader installs to the USB. | 09:45 |
| WACOMalt | how would it know which drive to put it on if it wasnt on the drive you chose? | 09:45 |
| Jordan_U | Deutopia: e-v-o: Ubiquity has code to detect that you are installing to USB and when it detects that it will install grub to that same usb drive. | 09:45 |
| WACOMalt | ah | 09:45 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: we like smart soft :D | 09:46 |
| WACOMalt | oh hey, how can I build from source code into a deb file? | 09:46 |
| Guido1 | MonkeyDust: ActionParsnip: What can I do to fix it? In the beginning it worked and on another computer it is still working | 09:46 |
| Deutopia | yes evo, by default ubuntu is going to do the right thing and install grub into your hard drive which is what you dont want, thus why we are choosing something else, manually partitioning the USB and installing to USB ONLY | 09:46 |
| Deutopia | Jordan_U Ubiquity doesnt always get things right. | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | Deutopia: Fair enough. | 09:47 |
| WACOMalt | its not about which is right or wrong, they are both right. | 09:47 |
| WACOMalt | its which is more dangerous :P | 09:47 |
| e-v-o | Jordan_U: if it's that simple why does the option 2. Erase Disk and install ubuntu come with a red WARNING that all programs, docs, etc will be ERASED? | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | Deutopia: If you've encountered a case where guided install to a USB drive installed grub elsewhere though please file a bug report. | 09:48 |
| WACOMalt | because they will be erased? | 09:48 |
| Deutopia | i say he is better off just using a persistent USB untill he decides wether or not to install | 09:48 |
| WACOMalt | that's true | 09:48 |
| WACOMalt | it'll run faster anyways | 09:48 |
| WACOMalt | which begs the question... why does live USB run faster than installed USB? | 09:48 |
| kanliot | persistent usb is slow | 09:48 |
| WACOMalt | or at least it did fo rmew | 09:49 |
| WACOMalt | *for me | 09:49 |
| e-v-o | oh really?! | 09:49 |
| WACOMalt | from my limited, non-pro, experience... yes. but Id listen to these guys | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | WACOMalt: The data is compressed, and therefore the effects of the slow drive are less noticeable. | 09:49 |
| apg | yeah, persistent usb-disk. Quite fast actually, also, for me | 09:49 |
| WACOMalt | gotcha | 09:49 |
| WACOMalt | I need 64GB of persistance tho :P | 09:50 |
| Deutopia | it depends on the computer. i have 2 laptops that run from USB. a compaq Evo made in 2001 and a Gateway NV53 made in 2010. The Evo runs faster as installed and the NV53 runs faster as persistent mode | 09:50 |
| e-v-o | so guys? what should I do? | 09:50 |
| WACOMalt | so can anyone lead me through making a DEB installer from my source code tree? | 09:50 |
| Deutopia | partition USB into an 800MB swap partition and the rest as an ext4 "/" partition and make sure bootloader installs to the USB. | 09:50 |
| WACOMalt | granted I have to install OpenCL/Cuda headers first, which is a whole different monster to tackle... | 09:51 |
| e-v-o | btw my usb stick is 16gb | 09:51 |
| Deutopia | you still havent done that? | 09:51 |
| kanliot | put swap on usb? why not just no swap | 09:51 |
| WACOMalt | my usb is 64GB flash drive | 09:51 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, read debian/ubuntu packaging guide | 09:51 |
| WACOMalt | cand you do ramdisk for swap? | 09:51 |
| WACOMalt | kk where can I find that blackshirt ? | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | WACOMalt: "ramdisk for swap" makes no sense at all. | 09:52 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, google it, you should find it | 09:52 |
| WACOMalt | gotcha | 09:52 |
| WACOMalt | still a newb :/ | 09:52 |
| WACOMalt | I mean.. like run the whole system in ram | 09:52 |
| WACOMalt | I have 16GB ram, Id like to do that | 09:52 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, that was possible | 09:53 |
| WACOMalt | was? | 09:53 |
| Jordan_U | WACOMalt: It can be done from a LiveCD/USB system by passing the "toram" kernel parameter. | 09:53 |
| blackshirt | yes, you know live cd was run entirely on ram | 09:53 |
| WACOMalt | still though, "was" ? is it not any more? | 09:54 |
| blackshirt | some distro,like tinycore linux using this technique | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | WACOMalt: The toram kernel parameter for live systems still works, I don't know what blackshirt is refferring to though. | 09:54 |
| blackshirt | I mean, run from ram | 09:54 |
| WACOMalt | oohh | 09:54 |
| blackshirt | don't be screwed up guys :d | 09:55 |
| WACOMalt | thoughts on this blackshirt: http://code.google.com/p/debianpackagemaker/ ? | 09:56 |
| blackshirt | wqcomalt, a lot of guide spread on internet, | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | WACOMalt: Honestly though, copying all files into RAM at boot will probably only save time when starting programs (and only the first time they're started). Once any file is read, if you have free RAM then linux will cache it for later use and only release that cache if the memory is needed (in which case it's good that it can be dropped). | 09:56 |
| WACOMalt | yeah, and they are all fairly different :/ | 09:56 |
| blackshirt | like with keyword search, ubuntu packaging guide | 09:57 |
| e-v-o | DIstopia: I'm back where I started trying to decide between primary or logical for / and /swap | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | e-v-o: Either will work. I would recommend logical, just so you don't run out of primary partitions. | 09:57 |
| WACOMalt | Hmm looks like Cuda toolkit is only available for 11.04 :/ | 09:57 |
| Deutopia | primary for "/" and it doesnt matter for swap. either one works | 09:57 |
| e-v-o | would you place swat at the beginning or end? | 09:58 |
| Deutopia | this is USB. he isnt going to run out of primaries | 09:58 |
| e-v-o | */swap | 09:58 |
| Deutopia | swap at the end | 09:58 |
| ssta | e-v-o: doesn't really matter | 09:58 |
| kanliot | swap on usb? | 09:58 |
| e-v-o | ssta: of cours course not, the USB is not spinning lol | 09:58 |
| kanliot | how much ram u have | 09:58 |
| e-v-o | how can I see the ram from live CD? | 09:59 |
| ssta | free -m | 09:59 |
| WACOMalt | well folks, wish me luck. I'm about to try all the kernel modules and stuff that are needed for Cuda building. But they are all for 11.04 and I'm on 12.04... here's hoping it doesnt break my system | 09:59 |
| e-v-o | (it's not my laptop) | 09:59 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, good luck..you sit on different version | 10:00 |
| WACOMalt | yup :/ | 10:00 |
| WACOMalt | the guide Im following is for 12.04 with these files though. I have hope! | 10:00 |
| WACOMalt | wonder if I need to do the cuda driver if Im only planning to build, and not run | 10:01 |
| WACOMalt | does building ever actually use your hardware drivers? O_o | 10:01 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, just try to compile and look the error says | 10:02 |
| WACOMalt | eh whatever I made a full system image an hour ago. if it all break I can go back | 10:02 |
| WACOMalt | I plan to break my system, but build a deb file, then rollback and install it :P | 10:02 |
| internetN00b | as much as I love Ubuntu but I have to go back to windows | 10:02 |
| internetN00b | :'( | 10:02 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, no, it just build binary version from your soureces | 10:02 |
| WACOMalt | ok cool | 10:02 |
| internetN00b | software compatibility/quality on Ubuntu is really a problem | 10:02 |
| WACOMalt | I'll see if it builds without the driver installed then first | 10:02 |
| Deutopia | e-v-o; really what you should do is forget that. open the partioner on your live CD and partition the USB as 2GB Fat16 and 13GB ext2 labeled "casper-rw". after you make those 2 partitions, reboot to windows, download Lili from www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download and create a Live USB with persistence. then delete the "casper-rw" file in windows and reboot. You now have linux. | 10:03 |
| e-v-o | Distopia: arm… there's no /swap option in the Mount point drop down!!! | 10:03 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, seem a bad plan | 10:03 |
| WACOMalt | internetN00b, yup. That's open source | 10:03 |
| WACOMalt | wait, no its not... that's jus tlinux | 10:03 |
| internetN00b | I do love the gnome desktop though | 10:03 |
| WACOMalt | blackshirt, probably. I have built this before correctly, but the drivers eventually messed up my system and I had to reinstall | 10:04 |
| WACOMalt | so now I'm PLANNING on the failing, but will make the deb first | 10:04 |
| internetN00b | the integration of the software in the desktop is very nice. but when it comes to productivity it is nowhere as good as on windows | 10:04 |
| WACOMalt | ^ came in here to complain about linux not being windows? | 10:04 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, that look a same thing but through different way | 10:04 |
| ssta | internetN00b: personally I find the opposite, but different people have different needs, so whatever suits you best is fine | 10:05 |
| WACOMalt | blackshirt, ...what? | 10:05 |
| internetN00b | ssta, true. | 10:05 |
| internetN00b | I am a bit sad though... Ubuntu does have some killing features.. | 10:05 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, a same build binary drivers | 10:05 |
| internetN00b | that I don't want to miss | 10:05 |
| WACOMalt | ah ok | 10:05 |
| WACOMalt | internetN00b, run it in a VM then | 10:05 |
| ssta | internetN00b: so use both | 10:05 |
| WACOMalt | its what I did until I had room for both on my drives | 10:06 |
| internetN00b | ssta, I don't want to dual boot | 10:06 |
| Deutopia | so use both and virtualize 1? | 10:06 |
| WACOMalt | then run as a VM | 10:06 |
| ssta | internetN00b: that's what VMs are for | 10:06 |
| WACOMalt | Virtualbox is free so is the OS | 10:06 |
| internetN00b | I have been tring to run win in a virtualbox but it is verys low | 10:06 |
| WACOMalt | did you install guest extras? | 10:06 |
| e-v-o | Deutopia: why FAT16 isn't that a stone age fs?! | 10:06 |
| internetN00b | yes, I did | 10:06 |
| ssta | internetN00b: so go the other way...run win as primary and ubuntu in a VM | 10:06 |
| WACOMalt | internetN00b, no idea then. mine runs great. | 10:07 |

| e-v-o | kanliot: I know, I'm installing to USB because gf doesn't want to risk loosing Win and Live CD is just too slow. | 10:14 |
| Deutopia | kanliot; it is just to try ubuntu out for a while untill the woman warms up to linux | 10:14 |

| ActionParsnip | BlueWolf: have you tried the other DEs? | 11:18 |
| jrib | BlueWolf: from a desktop user point of view, 10.04 is the last ubuntu still supported and using gnome 2. So if you want to cling to that for another year, that's your best option. 12.04 now uses unity by default. I'd suggest going with 12.04; even if you do not like unity, you should find a suitable replacement environment anyway | 11:18 |

| BlueWolf | ActionParsnip:How well does 12.04 feature then in terms of user ratings or opinions. Is it as buggy as 11.04 and 11.10 or is a stable system with fewer bugs than other releases? | 11:23 |

| jrib | BlueWolf: judging only by the unity feedback I see on this channel, I'd say initial versions of it usually had negative feedback but lately I see most people praising it. In the end, it's a personal preference. If you don't like the way unity and gnome 3 are going, then just install a different desktop environment and select it at the login screen | 11:25 |

| Skei | I'm trying to set gnome-terminal to open using --full-screen when I hit Ctrl + Alt + T. I'm running 12.04 under Gnome. I've tried using the Window Rules under Compiz, and I've edited the correct key under gconf-editor, but the terminal is still appearing small. Any suggestions ? | 11:44 |
| jrib | Skei: when you run "gnome-terminal --full-screen" from a terminal, does it open as you want | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | samhu: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage | 11:45 |

| jrib | Skei: isn't there some keyboard shortcuts editor exposed in the gui? | 11:48 |
| Skei | jrib, I can hit F11 when the term is open. | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: its a terminal that hides and shows on key, you can run long running commands and hide the terminal and check on it later, saves having to hunt for the gnome-terminal | 11:48 |
| Skei | But that's not great. I'd like it to start full-screen. | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: it drops down from the top, like the tilde terminal in quake / counterstrike etc | 11:49 |
| zal | still no signal | 11:49 |
| fidel | Skei: using Terminator here - which supports calling it via: terminator --fullscreen | 11:49 |
| fidel | in addition it offers splitting hrizontale / vertical on demand and tons of other stuff | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: or make an alias in ~/.bashrc | 11:50 |
| jrib | fidel: but did you bind that to a key? | 11:50 |
| fidel | jrib: what? | 11:50 |
| jrib | fidel: Skei wants to bind "gnome-terminal --full-screen" to a key. But when he tries, it doesn't work | 11:50 |
| fidel | jrib: personaly i do start all my stuff via kupfer (launcher). well i've overseen the bind to key part ..good catch ;) | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: add: alias gnome-terminal='gnome-terminal --full-screen' to ~/.bashrc | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: then run: source ~/.bashrc and you are away | 11:51 |
| Skei | ActionParsnip, hah, that's one way of doing it. I'll do that for now, thanks. Also looking at guake now. | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: guake is badass | 11:51 |
| jrib | Skei: you could use some different daemon to handle the keypresses (like xbindkeys). You're likely just not editing the right gconf key (is gconf even used anymore?). Maybe you need to do it in dconf or find the actual keyboard shortcut editor | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: yakuake if you are using KDE | 11:51 |
| Skei | Looks interesting so far. It's way too transparent, just messing with the settings right now. | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: or a lighter variant is tilde | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: you can reduce transparency in prefs | 11:52 |
| Skei | Yep, just playing now. | 11:52 |
| Chiko | has anyone here used/setup mono? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: should be default installed imho, as well as unp | 11:52 |

| === paolo_ is now known as faLUCE | ||
| jrib | Chiko: ask your real question | 11:52 |
| jrib | Skei: it's dconf now. Though I'm pretty sure those settings are exposed somewhere in the gui (I don't know where) | 11:53 |
| Chiko | I need help setting it up i'm not sure what repository to point to and i don't use linux very often so running on limited knowledge | 11:53 |
| Skei | Thanks, jrib, might look into that next. | 11:53 |
| Chiko | server i've been using for a while is also experiencing issues where i issue apt-get update/upgrade and it just has errors parsing the dpkg/available file or something~ not sure what's going on | 11:54 |
| Skei | ActionParsnip, uhhhkay, hitting F12 for your term is much better. But can I have several running ? | 11:54 |

| sre-su | Hello! I'm having ssh issues. I did complete reset of ADSL router and configured it for SSH port forwarding TCP 22. And, now I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu with openssh-client and openssh-server packages installed. Now, whenever I try ssh from outside, I get ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host. How can I fix this issue? What am I missing? | 11:54 |
| jrib | Chiko: what version? | 11:54 |

| ActionParsnip | sre-su: try: ssh --vv user@server | 11:55 |
| Skei | ActionParsnip, bah, can't use Tab in keyboard shortcuts. | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: sure you can, try running: source ~/.bashrc | 11:56 |
| Skei | ActionParsnip, I mean in Guake. I can't set Ctrl + Tab to switch between tabs. | 11:57 |
| Chiko | jrib: http://pastebin.com/Hf3ZSS40 | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Skei: ah, CTRL + PgUp / PgDn | 11:58 |
| Skei | Also, ActionParsnip, setting the alias and then running source .bashrc still doesn't get me a full-screen term. :( | 11:58 |
| sre-su | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208719/ | 11:58 |
| Skei | ActionParsnip, Yeah, I prefer using Tab, like in a web browser :P | 11:58 |
| Skei | Still, Guake looks very promising, think I'll keep it. | 11:58 |
| jrib | Chiko: you'd probably benefit from the script ActionParsnip just posted | 11:58 |
| tim442 | Skei: open guake preferences, set the shortcut to whatever you want | 11:58 |
| * jrib queues ActionParsnip | 11:58 | |

| blackshirt | bluewolf, can you ping some site, eg. Google.cim | 12:26 |
| Chiko | it has a flood bot that seems to work... | 12:26 |
| Chiko | @jrib it's doing a lot more now how was you able to influence this? :S | 12:27 |

| randomstuff | Yup... Flood bot just killed the "Undefeated" DDoS... | 12:27 |

| jrib | Chiko: it should be rebuilding the available file... "dpkg --clear-avail" told it to clear its knowledge about the old one | 12:27 |
| Chiko | ah right | 12:28 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt. No, it won't connect at all, I thought it was hardware but I have windows installed on a duel boot and it works at first my windows was not working but it is now. | 12:28 |
| randomstuff | Almost same story with me... | 12:28 |
| randomstuff | The Ubuntu is on a Virtual Machine... Can't connect to the itnernet. | 12:29 |
| randomstuff | internet* | 12:29 |
| randomstuff | Not properly, at least. | 12:29 |

| samhu | how can i fix those ? | 12:29 |

| blackshirt | randomstuff, set to nat on networking type | 12:30 |
| randomstuff | Oracle VM Virtualbox... Newest version. | 12:30 |
| Chiko | hmm didn't realise that would nuke all my screens and everything i was running | 12:30 |
| randomstuff | blackshirt: I'll see of Nat works. | 12:31 |
| blackshirt | samhu, look at your /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:31 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, seem a hardware related problem | 12:31 |
| randomstuff | blackshirt: Nope... Nat made it lose what little connection it had. | 12:31 |
| samhu | blackshirt:then what? | 12:31 |
| blackshirt | change your repository source samhu and then rerun apt-get update | 12:32 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: How can that be when the windows is working. I must admit at first on a fresh install both Linux and Windows would not connect, then a friend fixed the windows, and now the Linux just will not register the internet connection. | 12:33 |
| Chiko | thanks jrib that looks good now | 12:33 |

| liujianfeng | It seems that there are a lot of people | 12:39 |

| blackshirt | samhu, what you mean with version | 12:41 |
| samhu | a reliable copy | 12:41 |
| samhu | if my old source.list is not right i want download a reliable copy | 12:42 |
| jrib | Chiko: mono is in the repositories | 12:43 |
| blackshirt | samhu, you can make a backup before | 12:43 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: I think it's dhan | 12:43 |
| blackshirt | randomstuff, if your host can connect to internet, and your guest has been setup to nat networking,you should can connect to net | 12:43 |
| Chiko | apt-get install mono ? | 12:43 |
| randomstuff | It's been setup to only be able to access the network, through specific programs (Which I -do- have open). | 12:43 |
| jrib | Chiko: maybe "mono-complete", but I'm on 12.04 | 12:43 |
| blackshirt | samhu, learn how to change your sources list entry | 12:44 |
| Chiko | i'm not sure what its called exactly or how to find what i'm after i must google more | 12:44 |
| Chiko | ah ill try ta | 12:44 |
| Chiko | success | 12:44 |
| Chiko | installing~ | 12:44 |
| e-v-o | is it normal for ubuntu install to hang during Language Packs? | 12:44 |
| e-v-o | : ( | 12:44 |
| blackshirt | samhu, maybe better you using software sources to edit them | 12:44 |
| Chiko | how do you determine what a package is called | 12:44 |
| yeats | e-v-o: how long of a hang? it's having to download those from the web | 12:44 |
| Chiko | google hasn't been very friendly | 12:45 |
| e-v-o | it downloaded in 2 minutes and it's been hanging for about 5 | 12:45 |
| Chiko | i just keep seeing apt-get install mono | 12:45 |
| yeats | e-v-o: I would let it finish | 12:45 |
| blackshirt | chiko stop it and retry | 12:45 |
| Chiko | why? | 12:45 |
| e-v-o | yeats: ok. but if it hangs, isn't this a post install update? so the install should be ok, right? | 12:46 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: What was it you asked me about my connection again? | 12:46 |
| yeats | e-v-o: I *believe* so | 12:46 |
| yeats | e-v-o: actually, I don't think grub has run yet, so it wouldn't boot :-/ | 12:46 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, dhan??? You mean dhcp? | 12:46 |
| e-v-o | yeats: what language packs is it installing anyway? I didn't ask for any extra languages, just English : ( | 12:47 |
| BlueWolf | 12:47 | |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: Yes, what were the other two options you gave me? | 12:47 |
| yeats | e-v-o: I'm not sure | 12:47 |
| Chiko | ah right apt-cache search mono >_> | 12:47 |
| yeats | e-v-o: I've just seen that take a while in the past | 12:47 |
| e-v-o | yeats: how long before I should panic? | 12:48 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, lets paste your output of $route -n | 12:48 |
| e-v-o | yeats: oh wait.. "Configuring hardware" | 12:48 |
| e-v-o | YAYY! :D | 12:48 |
| yeats | e-v-o: yeah - that's actually not as long as I've seen that step run before | 12:49 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: It's saying command not found? | 12:49 |

| layke__ | Thanks yeats - This is what I had at the moment. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208802/ I looked at the !multiverse links you provided. None of them really say multiverse though? | 12:52 |
| layke__ | I'll look at the Software Sources. | 12:52 |
| yeats | layke__: in the software sources it's a checkbox you can just click | 12:53 |
| layke__ | yeats : Is it "software restricted by copyright or legal issues"? That looks like it is already ticked for me. | 12:53 |
| layke__ | Perhaps I already had multiverse. | 12:54 |
| e-v-o | yeats: FATAL ERROR: Executing Grub Install /dev/sdb failed! :(((( | 12:54 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, exactly which one was the gateway output ? | 12:54 |
| layke__ | yeats, O actually I'm being an idiot. I'm trying to install multiverse on my server. Not my desktop. lol. | 12:54 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, exactly which one was the gateway address ? | 12:54 |
| blackshirt | Sorry | 12:54 |
| layke__ | Clearly the server probably doesn't the software center :) lol. | 12:55 |
| yeats | layke__: ah ok ;-) - in that case you might see if theres a line to uncomment in /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:55 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: 192.168.1.1 I think. If you open the pastebin I gave you, you will see the information | 12:55 |
| layke__ | yeats No there isn't. Did you see that pastie I provided? | 12:55 |
| layke__ | It only has four repositories by the looks of it. | 12:55 |
| e-v-o | how do I get past FATAL ERROR: Executing Grub Install /dev/sdb failed - during install. | 12:55 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, i can't see the link you given | 12:56 |
| lost_and_unfound | greetings all, I have written a small html / web app with a similar layout as a mobile loayout.

Any suggestions on apps or keywords to look for ? | 12:56 |
| ThinkT510 | e-v-o: you sure its sdb you want to install grub to? | 12:56 |
| yeats | e-v-o: open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) - then less /var/log/syslog and PgDn to the bottom to see if there's anything related there | 12:56 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, delete two route from routing table | 12:56 |
| blackshirt | except your gateway address | 12:57 |
| e-v-o | yeah Think, I'm trying to install to USB | 12:57 |

| layke__ | yeats On this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding_the_Universe_and_Multiverse_Repositories It says "hardy multiverse" What's the significance of "hardy" Is that like lucid? etc | 12:57 |
| BlueWolf | blackshirt: ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208800/ ) How can you not open it? How do I delete two route from routing table? | 12:57 |
| blackshirt | layke_ yes | 12:57 |
| iwert | its set to belgiu; on the keybeord layout | 12:57 |
| e-v-o | BluesKaj: I didn't run any command, I just ran installation into USB key. | 12:57 |
| scales11 | hello all. anybody have good alternatives to demonoid? i have no place to turn since they shut it down | 12:57 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, use route del command | 12:58 |
| yeats | layke__: yes - replace 'hardy' with the name of the release you're on | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | e-v-o, ok | 12:58 |
| layke__ | blackshirt, So, here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208814/ I should change "hardy-updates" to lucide-updates | 12:58 |

| BlueWolf | blackshirt: What will deleting that do? Because this machine I am using is working fine with the internet, the machine that is the problem is the one at my work? | 12:59 |
| layke__ | yeats Thanks for the advice. So are releases just code names? ie.. for the version of the release? I haven't understood the signifncance of release names? | 13:00 |
| yeats | layke__: correct | 13:00 |
| scales11 | ThinkT510: torrents are not illegal, | 13:00 |
| layke__ | yeats, So for example, the fact that I am on "lucid" means that I am on version 10 of ubuntu. And anyone on hardy, must be 8.0. | 13:00 |
| randomstuff | blackshirt: Got an error: "Write failed: Broken pipe" | 13:00 |

| ThinkT510 | scales11: i didn't say they were | 13:00 |
| asker | yes it is in some contry | 13:00 |
| yeats | layke__: lucid = 10.04, hardy = 8.04 | 13:01 |

| omfghelp | is this for ubuntu? | 13:01 |

| scales11 | ThinkT510: and i am not linking to anything pirated | 13:01 |
| ThinkT510 | scales11: but you are using demonoid? | 13:02 |
| blackshirt | bluewolf, oh... You make me misunderstood,sorry guys | 13:02 |

| scales11 | ThinkT510: and i am not using it since it no longer exists | 13:03 |
| ThinkT510 | scales11: what torrents are you looking for and how is this related to ubuntu? | 13:03 |

| layke__ | yeats, I just installed the package that I wanted, but I noticed it's really old. I think I want to ditch it and download the latest version and install it myself. Would I just `apt-get remove ec2-api-tools` and then download the ZIP file that Amazon provide, and extra the /bin/* to /usr/bin on my own system? | 13:10 |
| arlo | blackshirt where in ifconfig i can see? | 13:10 |
| arlo | blackshirt can i open ports without router? | 13:10 |
| yeats | layke__: I don't know about that specific package, but you might investigate PPAs for the package you're looking for (or a .deb or repo from amazon if they offer it) | 13:11 |
| yeats | layke__: only if that approach doesn't work would I consider installing manually | 13:11 |
| layke__ | Okay thanks. I found.. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-api-tools | 13:11 |
| yeats | layke__: cool | 13:12 |
| layke__ | So I run apt-add-repository https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-api-tools | 13:12 |
| layke__ | apt-get update and install that? | 13:12 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | any diagnostics or logs i could check? | 13:34 |

| ThinkT510 | !skype | vinceableworld | 14:17 |
| ubottu | vinceableworld: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 14:17 |
| vinceableworld | If anyone who uses skype - successfully - on ubuntu - could message me I'd greatly appreciate it. | 14:18 |
| florian | testing123, thank you, I'll give it a try. | 14:18 |
| testing123 | okay, have a good day. | 14:18 |
| ThinkT510 | florian: its unlikely to be a bios setting | 14:18 |
| vinceableworld | Think... I believe I've already tried this in some form or another... will try again however. | 14:19 |
| vinceableworld | Think: Do u use skype? | 14:20 |
| ThinkT510 | vinceableworld: no, i try to avoid closed source software | 14:20 |
| vinceableworld | Is there an alternative to skype... but still be able to chat with skype contacts? | 14:20 |
| vinceableworld | I hear you my friend. | 14:20 |
| vinceableworld | Already built up a ton of contacts on there however. | 14:20 |
| yeats | vinceableworld: skype is the only program to use with the skype network (afaik) | 14:21 |
| vinceableworld | Will need to move them over to open source. | 14:21 |
| testing123 | ThinkT510 i have the option to enable/disable what displays to use in my note books bios settings. I thought by me sharing this info might be of help to florian. | 14:21 |
| ThinkT510 | testing123: regarding using external displays? how woulf the bios be aware of that? | 14:22 |
| ThinkT510 | would | 14:22 |
| xCyb0rg | How come every second there is a problem with my ubuntu | 14:22 |
| vinceableworld | using pidgin.. how do I get rid of the "entered" and "left" messages? | 14:22 |
| xCyb0rg | I just reinstall last night after having a login error at the login screen | 14:22 |
| xCyb0rg | I stay up all night just to reinstall | 14:22 |
| xCyb0rg | then I wake up in the morning and its not reading my mouse or network connect | 14:23 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ok back | 14:23 |
| xCyb0rg | Which in order to fix I have to enter a book of commands just to fix | 14:23 |
| florian | testing123, ThinkT510: Thank you very much, I'll have a look into the bios, I know a bit about it. thanks for your help. | 14:23 |
| xCyb0rg | I am only going to run ubuntu as a iso to only learn bash shell | 14:23 |
| user82 | i am looking for a new graphics card for my barebone. the ati is 100% wrecked with the driver does nvidia proprietary work better? | 14:24 |
| yeats | vinceableworld: see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8661527&postcount=5 | 14:24 |
| vinceableworld | okay really anoying... how do I get rid of the channel messages in here? | 14:24 |
| gordonjcp | user82: depends what you mean by "better" | 14:24 |
| gordonjcp | !ignore | vinceableworld | 14:24 |
| ubottu | vinceableworld: If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname | 14:24 |
| gordonjcp | vinceableworld: sorry, that was useless | 14:24 |
| gordonjcp | vinceableworld: it's something like ignore parts joins | 14:24 |
| yeats | vinceableworld: '/ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS' I think | 14:25 |
| vinceableworld | tyvm | 14:25 |
| user82 | gordonjcp the ati driver causes video stuttering and has no 3d acceleration so it is worse thatn the opensource one with my card. i just expect a workign 3d graphics | 14:25 |
| vinceableworld | unknown command | 14:25 |
| user82 | there was one specific version that worked because it is a special low profile barebone card...but it does not anymore with ubuntu 12.04 | 14:26 |
| vinceableworld | i think i need to install the plugin pack. | 14:26 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | gsteinert ya still here? | 14:26 |
| vinceableworld | very frustrating... working ON my computer instead of WITH it. | 14:26 |
| vinceableworld | bbl | 14:27 |
| ThinkT510 | vinceableworld: pidgin is more designed for im rather than irc, maybe a dedicated irc client like xchat would be better to use | 14:27 |
| tomek__ | hi everyone. If i edit my /etc/profile, can I reload the system without rebooting? | 14:27 |
| yeats | tomek__: '. /etc/profile' | 14:27 |
| tomek__ | sorry, fairly new to Linux | 14:27 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | the old messages pop up in the messaging system | 14:28 |
| tomek__ | ahhh | 14:28 |
| tomek__ | i thought so | 14:28 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | not very friendly tho | 14:28 |
| testing123 | ThinkT510 i dont know that much about external device and bios options, but i did have good intentions to share what little i know about my note book.options. I am not intending any offence to you. | 14:28 |
| tomek__ | it looks like PowerShell leached off of linux than | 14:28 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | couldnt find them to reply LOL | 14:28 |
| tomek__ | haha | 14:28 |

| epzil0n | hi, i need to set a keybinding to the brightness controll in ubuntu using the keyboard setting control, but what's the command for brightness up and brightness down? | 14:29 |
| ThinkT510 | testing123: sorry, in my experience using external displays depends mostly on the graphics card and driver and os settings, the bios hardly enters into the picture | 14:30 |
| ThinkT510 | testing123: perhaps its screensaver settings or what to do when the lid closes (power settings) | 14:31 |
| testing123 | I am in agreement with you. | 14:31 |
| testing123 | thanks for sharing and good day!! | 14:33 |

| raidgh0st | http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ didnt solve the problem. So DOES anyone else have a solution? | 14:35 |
| xangua | !anyone | vinceableworld | 14:35 |
| ubottu | vinceableworld: 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. | 14:35 |
| vinceableworld | tried that - I got a non-skype user pointing me to skype information. | 14:36 |
| vinceableworld | Not very useful and time consuming to boot. | 14:36 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | what do you need vince | 14:36 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | I use it daily | 14:36 |
| vinceableworld | Okay does it work? On Ubuntu? I've had all kinds of problems... then installed skype wrapper... | 14:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | yes it works fine for me | 14:37 |
| vinceableworld | and skype contacts window kept jumping up and stealing my cursor. | 14:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | no issues | 14:37 |
| vinceableworld | is there a specific PPA I need to install? | 14:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | im running 12.04 | 14:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | i just ran the skype install package | 14:38 |
| vinceableworld | I just had to uninstall it again - same here 12.04... now I'm talking to the right bring. | 14:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | and it worked | 14:38 |
| xangua | vinceableworld: skype is on the Partner repository, no need to add or install third party apps like what 'wrapper' | 14:38 |
| vinceableworld | hmm. | 14:38 |
| vinceableworld | Do you frequently have issues with it making you offline when you're not offline? | 14:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | not at all | 14:38 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | it makes me drop calls because my computer is locking up | 14:40 |
| vinceableworld | okay so xangua - u use skype from a specific ppa? | 14:40 |

| vinceableworld | okay then please... kindly stop helping me. | 14:41 |
| vinceableworld | do you use skype at all? | 14:41 |
| ThinkT510 | vinceableworld: ease up on the attitude | 14:41 |
| Calinou | why do you even use skype? | 14:41 |
| vinceableworld | As soon as others do... I will too friend. I think most linux users are linux users because they don't want to be bossed around by the likes of bill gates. | 14:42 |
| vinceableworld | Cal: Have many contacts - hundreds. just migrated from windows two days ago. | 14:42 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ummmmmmmmmmm free phone calinou | 14:42 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ok $2 a month............cheaper than $2 a minute | 14:43 |
| vinceableworld | Cal: Is there a free phoning app on linux? | 14:43 |
| Calinou | "phoning"? no, why? | 14:43 |
| vinceableworld | cuz that would be AWESOME? | 14:43 |
| lodasn | I use irc first time. | 14:43 |
| Calinou | if you want to call from computer to computer, I advise not using skype. | 14:43 |

| vinceableworld | xan you use skype then? | 14:46 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | thats from Xdiagnose | 14:46 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | i use it for everything.............computer to computer, computer to phone, phone to computer | 14:47 |
| xangua | vinceableworld: i could only suggest you to remove third party apps like that 'wrapper' you mentioned it and maybe delete skype configuration files in your home | 14:47 |
| vinceableworld | Okay so just uninstalling doesn't remove the configuration files? | 14:48 |
| vinceableworld | I've uninstalled both skype and the wrapper. | 14:48 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ok can somebody help me with this error ......... watchdog.c:241 watchdog_overflow_callback+Oxac/Oxdo() | 14:48 |

| arlo_ | no | 14:49 |
| arlo_ | sorry | 14:49 |
| arlo_ | i mean ubuntu server :-) | 14:49 |
| blackshirt | arlo, try to check with some tool | 14:49 |
| xangua | vinceableworld: it does not, open your home with nautilus, Control+h will show your hidden directories, delete or remove .Skype | 14:49 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | where did gsteinert go? | 14:49 |
| arlo_ | what is the simple way on ubuntu server? | 14:49 |
| vinceableworld | ah nautilus... | 14:49 |
| vinceableworld | what is that? | 14:50 |
| GeneralxCyb0rg | Ubuntu has way to many problems and you have to code everything in | 14:50 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ok can somebody help me with this error ......... watchdog.c:241 watchdog_overflow_callback+Oxac/Oxdo() | 14:50 |
| GeneralxCyb0rg | its very very annoying | 14:50 |

| blackshirt | arlo_, netstat -ntapl | 14:50 |
| ThinkT510 | vinceableworld: nautilus = default file manager | 14:50 |
| vinceableworld | ah... so just click the folder then. | 14:51 |
| vinceableworld | Okay I see em... tyvm | 14:51 |
| vinceableworld | I guess I'll try to reboot and reinstall now. | 14:51 |
| vinceableworld | Is reboot usually a good idea or un-necessary on ubuntu? | 14:52 |
| Kingsy | guys, I have no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ how do I generate a clean one? | 14:52 |
| ThinkT510 | vinceableworld: normally unnecessary | 14:52 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ok can somebody please help me with this error ......... watchdog.c:241 watchdog_overflow_callback+Oxac/Oxdo() | 14:52 |
| Kingsy | because xrandr is saying xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default <--- I assume that is because of xorg | 14:52 |

| vinceableworld | Okay so rebooted... now I should just go direct to skype's site and install it? | 15:00 |
| L3top | Kingsy: xorg.conf is depreciated, but you can generate one by closing any x windows (if you are using unity sudo service lightdm stop), and typing Xorg -configure it will dump an xorg.conf.new in your home directory | 15:00 |
| linuxuz3r | savio, or ifconfig eth0 down | 15:00 |
| savio | i try all this | 15:01 |
| xangua | vinceableworld: or just install it from software center, automatic updates | 15:01 |
| L3top | How are you connecting? Wireless? Wired? savio | 15:01 |
| savio | sometimes nm just don't show anything | 15:01 |

| L3top | does that return a result? | 15:02 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | yes..........vince its not in the software center.........it will redirect you to the skype site | 15:02 |

| Kingsy | hmm ok | 15:02 |
| L3top | mario_: do you have any PPAs installed? | 15:03 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | it wasnt even in my software center...........it sent me to the skype site | 15:03 |
| vinceableworld | says "available from the 'precise-partner' source | 15:03 |
| savio | L3top, it return result | 15:03 |

| L3top | I know... that is why I said to ls (list) its contents. If it is empty that answers the question... however I dont know what i18n is... and your problem connecting is to a cononical repo... so that also answers that. | 15:06 |

| yeats | mario_: why are you using a proxy? | 15:07 |
| jrib | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: you should probably give more context (use one line to ask a detailed question though) | 15:07 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | mine is Malaysian internet.......they stole it from Thailand | 15:07 |
| mario_ | yeats im not using proxy i just saw this line in apt.get config | 15:08 |
| jrib | L3top: i18n is short for internationalization I believe | 15:08 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | ill send you the info | 15:08 |

| yeats | mario_: there should be a file named something with "Proxy" in the name in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d - either open it and comment out (add a "#" at the front of) the line or remove the file altogether | 15:09 |
| savio | please i need help? | 15:09 |
| yeats | mario_: then to apt-get update and you should be able to connect | 15:09 |

| ThinkT510 | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: hmm, i'm not sure what to suggest then, sorry | 15:33 |
| ThinkT510 | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: you could try out the nouveau driver, see if that has problems | 15:35 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | whats the get? | 15:36 |
| ThinkT510 | !nouveau | Mtn_Bkng_Dave | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | its built in by default. if it supports that old a card is the big question | 15:36 |
| JoshuaP | I just went root and did chmod 770 / | 15:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | that may have been the original driver | 15:37 |
| JoshuaP | Everything is messing up now. Ho can I fix this? | 15:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | i changed it to the nvidia drivers to try to correct it | 15:37 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | no change | 15:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | if that is the default | 15:38 |
| OerHeks | JoshuaP, uh oh, that means reinstall | 15:38 |
| L3top | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: try to correct what | 15:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | the stuttering problem | 15:38 |
| JoshuaP | Aw, man.. | 15:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | computer just freezes for a few seconds | 15:38 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | doesnt crash...........just freezes | 15:39 |
| L3top | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: how did you install nvidia-173 | 15:39 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | 4GB | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | savio: i dident evn see the question.. | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | pae would only be needed if more then 4gb wouldent it? | 15:42 |
| L3top | ThinkT510: I thought it made a determination based on ram... and that would have done it... but... I am not sure how I feel about that if you are correct ThinkT510... | 15:42 |
| L3top | more than 3.2 I would assume dr_willis | 15:42 |
| savio | dr_willis, i have dsl connection my isp provides me i got device not manaed so i edit .conf file of nm | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | i wonder if hes not defaulting tothe vga drivers. | 15:43 |
| savio | i set ifdown=true | 15:43 |
| savio | but still at some point nm don't connect to internet i need to restart several times to able to connect it | 15:44 |

| savio | dr_willis, ? | 15:49 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | it doesnt crash | 15:49 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | it just freezes momentarily | 15:49 |

| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | and this is a brand new install | 15:52 |
| * L3top wonders if this has to do with the loss of the xserver-xorg-abi-1* drivers. | 15:52 | |

| L3top | Mtn_Bkng_Dave: out of curiosity, does sudo dpkg --configure -a produce any dialog with regards to fixing or failing? | 15:57 |
| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: you are likely better off reinstalling if you've messed up permissions on the whole of / | 15:57 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | none | 15:57 |
| JoshuaP | I just thought it'd give everybody in the group root read/write permissions. | 15:57 |
| JoshuaP | ThinkT510, why did this happen when I did this? the terminal w0on't even execute now. | 15:58 |
| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: why did you do that? | 15:58 |

| ThinkT510 | Guest29165: 11.04 support will be ending soon | 16:00 |
| Mtn_Bkng_Dave | so now what? | 16:00 |
| JoshuaP | ThinkT510, I thought it would take out having to use sudo all the time. | 16:00 |
| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: sudo is there for a reason | 16:01 |
| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: you need to accept the use of sudo as a security measure | 16:01 |
| JoshuaP | ThinkT510, to run things as root, but I always forget to use sudo so I have to write entire commands yet again. | 16:01 |
| e-v-o | does anyone know of an open source documentary? | 16:01 |
| Guest29165 | ThinkT510 , but can i still using it with the support made till then? | 16:01 |
| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: how often do you run things as root? | 16:01 |
| ThinkT510 | Guest29165: sure, but support ends next month | 16:02 |

| ThinkT510 | JoshuaP: haha, you have a lot to learn | 16:04 |
| JoshuaP | Once I did it, not even chmod could be found as a command. | 16:05 |

| shihan | howdy all, for some reason when i try and umount something, its telling me its not mounted and i cant quite figure out what might be occuring: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1209280/ (any suggestions?) | 16:49 |
| mkohler | hi guys, "java -version" says "java version "1.6.0_24"" and "javac -version" says "javac 1.7.0_07" .. how can I make java use 1.7 too? | 16:50 |
| mbrigdan | Hello, I have an ubuntu instance running on Amazon EC2, and mysql suddenly can't write to /tmp (and therefore can't start). /tmp permissions are 1777, and I've disabled apparmor | 16:50 |
| joru | Hi, i've installed some new machines (VM's) recently (12.04.1), they frequently call apt-get update every hour but I cannot seem to track down and understand how to disable or change this behavior. (I've enabled unattended-updates). the crontab for root is empty. Any hints? | 16:50 |
| shihan | mkohler: have a look at "update-java-alternatives" command | 16:50 |
| shihan | mbrigdan: do you know if its trying to write to a file that already exists (owned by someone else)? | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | joru, enabled unatteneded updates settings might be the key | 16:51 |
| shihan | joru: have a look at /etc/cron.* | 16:52 |
| mbrigdan | shihan, I don't think so. I did "sudo -s -u mysql", and it can't write to ANY name in /tmp | 16:52 |
| joru | BluesKaj: I get nothing in the unattended logfile yet | 16:52 |
| mkohler | shihan: thanks, I will | 16:52 |
| joru | shihan: there is a /etc/cron.daily/apt , this is running hourly. is there some pending updates that does not get installed adn it tries again every hour? | 16:53 |
| === satan is now known as sa`tan | ||
| joru | BluesKaj: I get no records in the unattended logfile yet | 16:53 |
| shihan | mbrigdan: hmmm, thats a little weird.... does "getfacl /tmp" say anything weird? | 16:54 |
| shihan | joru: might be wanting to ask you a question during update perhaps | 16:54 |
| mkohler | shihan: thanks, that helped :) | 16:55 |
| mbrigdan | shihan, As a matter of fact, yes! "user:mysql:r-x" How on earth did that happen!?! | 16:55 |
| shihan | mbrigdan: that *IS* weird :) | 16:55 |
| joru | shihan: well apt-get update finishes successfully.. so I am a bit confused | 16:56 |
| shihan | joru: if you do unattended-upgrades -d, that might tell you a few things? | 16:56 |
| shihan | in truth, i dont actually use the unattended-upgrades feature | 16:56 |
| joru | shihan: what is the -d arg for? | 16:56 |
| shihan | debug | 16:56 |
| joru | i'll check | 16:56 |
| mbrigdan | shihan, Yeah, I'm pretty sure I never played around with /tmp's permissions, so.. I'm confused. Whatever, should be simple to fix | 16:56 |
| usr13 | shihan: Maybe it is a problem with update-manager itself. Try changing the setting to weekly, (or something other than it is now). I think the default is Daily. | 16:58 |
| joru | shihan: ok, no unattended upgrades pending. | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | joru, heh , I thought an option like unattended upgrades might have some timer option settings ...guess I'm mistaken , can't even find the settings in synaptic | 16:59 |
| shihan | mbrigdan: that is an odd cercumstance, thats for sure, its not like it'd be easy to do that "accidentally" cept by cut and paste as root i guess? | 16:59 |
| usr13 | mbrigdan: Maybe it is a problem with update-manager itself. Try changing the setting to weekly, (or something other than it is now). I think the default is Daily. | 17:00 |
| usr13 | shihan: Sorry, wrong nick. | 17:00 |
| shihan | usr13: figured :) | 17:00 |

| Guest91527 | is there any software which grabs online videos and download them for me?? | 17:02 |
| tobias_ | TV connected through HDMI in my ATI Radeon HD 7950. I guess I have the wrong refresh rate or something on the TV since it feels like I'm pulling the cursor through jelly. Please help someone :) | 17:03 |
| TheRick | what kind of videos? from what site? | 17:03 |
| usr13 | Guest91527: There are a couple firefox plugins | 17:03 |
| tomreyn | Guest91527: youtube-dl for what the name says | 17:03 |
| TheRick | it's easy enough to grab torrents... and there are ways to pull from youtube or whatever | 17:03 |
| fidel | Guest91527: clive / cclive is a cli app which might do the job | 17:03 |
| usr13 | Guest91527: And as tomreyn points, there is a CLI one too. | 17:03 |

| aniket | melvster, it seem your unhappy with the new look | 17:28 |
| f2prateek_ | Trying to start with a clean install of ubuntu 12.04.1. I matched the md5 of the download, burnt it using OS X. When I boot into the live cd, i get the ubuntu loading screen, but i'm redirected to the busybox shell with the message '(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system' | 17:29 |
| melvster | oh right ... strange ... i cant say I'm unhappy, it was just something new that I didnt expect .... and I'm not sure if i have a system error or it's just normal | 17:29 |
| IdleOne | melvster: can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing | 17:29 |
| melvster | sure ... | 17:30 |

| ThinkT510 | Pinkamena_D: try it in unity2d (that uses metacity instead of compiz) | 17:45 |
| Pinkamena_D | of all the htings i have tried so far, the only hting that changes anything is if i use the -use00 switch when running the program | 17:45 |
| Pinkamena_D | then it shows a bunch of distorted lines instead of a black screen | 17:45 |

| Ray2 | Is it possible to move an os from a small flash drive to a larger flash drive | 18:09 |
| jpastore | Hola I'm in Peru at a Starbucks using my phone to hopefully get some tips. My NetBook won't connect to their wifi but has connected everywhere else...any ideas? | 18:09 |
| Sokel | Ray2: Of course it is. | 18:09 |
| Sokel | Ray2: You can actually use dd to do that. | 18:09 |
| layke__ | When I click on a text file, it opens it in vim. How can I change this behaviour? | 18:09 |
| xibalba | jpastore, try the dns or icmp proxies | 18:09 |
| Beast1 | bkc_: foudn it. It's called PhotoRec. and it supports more than photo formats. see http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec | 18:09 |
| Sokel | Ray2: Only problem is that the partitions will not fill up the bigger drive until you expand them via lvm | 18:09 |
| smj | my Make has been broken for too long, what should I check and how do I fix it... no matter what parameters I give it, no matter what directory it's run it, it just eats memory and crashes the system | 18:10 |
| smj | *in | 18:10 |
| Sokel | jpastore: That's a problem on their end. You can't do anything about it, essentially. | 18:10 |
| jpastore | Xibalba: I can't authenticate from the NetBook but I can from my phone | 18:10 |
| shihan | smj: personally, i'd go "apt-get purge make", then "apt-get install make", see if that fixes it | 18:11 |
| Sokel | xibalba: He's saying he can't connect to their wifi. | 18:11 |
| Sokel | xibalba: It has nothing to do with proxies. | 18:11 |
| jpastore | Sokel: I was thinking they might need a firmware update...they speak English so I've been making friends | 18:11 |
| bkc_ | Ray2: short answer "yes" | 18:11 |
| jpastore | Gracias guys | 18:12 |
| Sokel | Ray2: dd if=device1 of=device2 | 18:12 |
| shihan | jparker, it *MIGHT* be a jurisdiction thing... if your from the US your wifi might only go to channel 11, and in peru, they might go to 14 (thats a big *might*) | 18:12 |
| Sokel | Ray2: And then it's up to you to expand the lvm partitions to fill the rest of the drive. | 18:12 |
| bkc_ | Sokel: don't do that -.- | 18:12 |
| shihan | err jpastore, not jparker | 18:12 |
| bkc_ | Ray2: ^ | 18:12 |
| Sokel | bkc_: Best way to do it. | 18:12 |
| bkc_ | Sokel: no... it will most likely mess up your hdd... | 18:13 |
| Sokel | bkc_: He's asking about transferring a small USB OS to a bigger drive. That's the easiest way to do it. It will NOT mess up the main drives. | 18:13 |
| Sokel | bkc_: Unless you specifically target them. | 18:13 |
| xibalba | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 will solve your problem | 18:13 |
| Sokel | tr -c "[:digit:]" " " < /dev/urandom | dd cbs=$COLUMNS conv=unblock | GREP_COLOR="1;32" grep --color "[^ ]" | 18:14 |

| kyubutsu | works well for common backup needs | 18:42 |
| wilee-nilee | uget, What you want backed up is the stuff you can't lose such as media docs..etc. With a end of life you are best to have a list of the applications and any extra repos that may have been used like a ppa for example. With a jump from 10.10 the a[pplications at best will be a newer version, and may or may not be supported in a 3rd party ppa, you have to check.

| kyubutsu | GeekAdmin: you MUST install windows first . there is no way around that | 18:54 |
| MonkeyDust | notlrac11 trying to stand out is the best way to get ignored | 18:54 |

| DanTheBeastMan | kyubutsu: that's not true at all, you can install them in either order | 18:55 |
| GeekAdmin | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu is the only OS currently | 18:55 |
| kyubutsu | suit yourself then | 18:55 |
| GeekAdmin | kyubutsu: I know its possible to do it the other way around | 18:55 |
| GeekAdmin | kyubutsu: just a pain in the butt | 18:56 |
| GeekAdmin | kyubutsu: you have to reinstall grub and replace the windows boot loader | 18:56 |
| notlrac11 | ok so does anyone want to help build a operating system if so message me or just email at notlrac11@icloud.ocm | 18:56 |
| ChrisWere | MonkeyDust: I've installed arandr and run the program, what is it supposed to achieve? | 18:56 |
| notlrac11 | com i ment | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekAdmin, Can you take a screen shot of gparted looking at the HD and imagebin it. | 18:56 |
| Sokel | notlrac11: No one really cares | 18:56 |
| GeekAdmin | wilee-nilee: shoot, I wish I could, but that PC isnt hooked up to the net right now. It doesnt have a wifi adapter | 18:57 |
| DanTheBeastMan | if you install windows after Ubuntu, Windows will wipe the MBR and use it's own bootloader instead of grub, which you can fix by booting a live cd, mount and chroot into your ubuntu install and run `grub-install` | 18:57 |
| wilee-nilee | kyubutsu, If ubuntu is not sda1 things can be moved around and XP put in the first partition, it does not have to installed first. | 18:57 |
| kyubutsu | well.. am all about the simplest way to fix a problem.. am not about to recommend something i wouldnt do myself and 'the other way around' isnt it | 18:57 |
| DanTheBeastMan | it's a bit of a hassle to install to fix the bootloader, but to say that one cannot is simply wrong | 18:57 |
| GeekAdmin | kyubutsu: I'm thinking I might take your advice and just do it that way | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | kyubutsu, In the theme don't push what YOU think is correct as the whole answer. | 18:58 |
| ChrisWere | MonkeyDust: okay so what do I do with a randr? | 18:58 |
| kyubutsu | that it can be done in other ways only adds complexity to a simple solution .. thats al | 18:59 |
| wilee-nilee | GeekAdmin, If you have ubuntu as showing a higher then sda1 partition you most likely can resize the ubuntu and slip XP in as sda1 | 18:59 |

| Azelphur | ChrisWere: ubuntu doesn't use gnome panel any more, upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu. | 19:19 |
| Sokel | killer: Vim and vi are the same thing. Vim automatically turns on the syntax highlighting. And it usually presents colors if you don't get colors by default. | 19:19 |

| ThinkT510 | !notunity | testi | 19:22 |
| ubottu | testi: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:22 |

| n0m4d | because i keep getting non stop install errors on ubuntu only | 19:44 |
| shihan | tz: well, you could perhaps use a crm, like sugar to do the same, but thats probably overkill... in your case it might just be easier to have another account on your imap server and have both of you login to the same account... but you could have mail delivery to a shared folder and do the same (i use dovecot in a similar fashion) | 19:45 |
| theadmin | n0m4d: lili is fine, though if possible I'd use dd (that's a Linux-only thing though, no Windows one. Well, there is a Windows version but it probably won't work) | 19:45 |
| n0m4d | i using my wifes laptop | 19:45 |
| theadmin | n0m4d: Alternatives to LiLi are Universal USB Installer and Unetbootin, though | 19:45 |
| n0m4d | but doesnt matter if its a cd or dvd | 19:45 |
| shihan | tz: as in have a "personal" account and "sales" inbox | 19:45 |
| n0m4d | or usb ubuntu will just freez after network selection and it connects i press next and it freezes | 19:46 |
| n0m4d | ive tried kbuntu just to see if it goes any father and it load and then freezes | 19:46 |
| tz | shihan: yes that might be the way to go, you got experience with systems like Sogo or Citadel? | 19:46 |
| n0m4d | ive done a mem test | 19:47 |
| n0m4d | and a media checke ive redownloaded | 19:47 |
| n0m4d | fedora installs fine | 19:47 |
| n0m4d | bu ubuntu just wont lol | 19:47 |
| guntbert_ | !enter | n0m4d | 19:47 |
| ubottu | n0m4d: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:47 |
| shihan | tz: sadly not :) one other thing too, outlook (as an imap client) doesnt always push changes to an email straight away to the server, so sometimes theres quite a delay between when you might mark one with "important" or something and when it'll appear on someone elses client that way | 19:48 |
| guntbert_ | n0m4d: did you check if the download was ok? | 19:48 |
| n0m4d | yes sir | 19:48 |
| n0m4d | i can boot in live | 19:48 |
| n0m4d | its a sansa cruze usb drive would that be a problem ? | 19:49 |

| TheMadDrizzle | I have a few questions about getting grub to work. | 19:55 |
| n0m4d | never mind it froze | 19:55 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Just ask the questions | 19:55 |
| savio | hay i will gone crazy if no one help me now | 19:55 |
| TheMadDrizzle | I have ubuntu and archlinux both installed on the same drive, yet when I just did this most recent ' partial upgrade ' with ubuntu, it's deleted my menu entry for grub | 19:56 |
| savio | i having problem with nm | 19:56 |
| savio | help | 19:56 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Hm... Which OS' GRUB are you using? | 19:56 |
| savio | i'm not able to connect dsl connection my isp provide me | 19:56 |
| TheMadDrizzle | I purposly installed arch first and then ubuntu to have ubuntu's grub2 auto-detect script run and eliminate any fuss. now this partial update has overwritten my grub custom? and how do I manually go back through and update it, because update-grub isn't working. | 19:56 |
| TheMadDrizzle | Ubuntu | 19:56 |
| n0m4d | savio get a router | 19:57 |
| Atlantic777 | savio: what kind of connection do you need? pppoe or ethernet connection to a router? | 19:57 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: If Ubuntu's, running "sudo update-grub" should detect any other operating systems (detects even my Gentoo installs and gives them weird names :/) | 19:57 |
| savio | pppoe | 19:57 |
| Atlantic777 | then +1, get a router | 19:57 |
| savio | with service name compulsary | 19:57 |
| savio | Atlantic777, why so? | 19:57 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Ah, not working... Hm... What configs have you modified? | 19:57 |
| TheMadDrizzle | I haven't modified anything yet. | 19:58 |
| n0m4d | because a router will dchp | 19:58 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Ah, thought you said you did... What's a "partial update" anyway? | 19:58 |
| n0m4d | and it will be ten times easier for you tset it up | 19:58 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin: Sorry, I ment I did the most recent ' partial upgrade ' from ubuntu | 19:58 |
| savio | its budget problem | 19:58 |
| SilfenX | Hello! Just installed 12.04 LTS Desktop and the vertical 'launchbar' to the left of the screen doesnt display any icons but display texthints when hoovering. Whats gone wrong? | 19:58 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: (I'm a Gentoo person and the only way I understand "update" is "update all the packages" so I have no idea the heck that means) | 19:59 |

| savio | can anyone seriously gona help me | 19:59 |
| savio | nops | 19:59 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: That sounds... weird... | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE | 20:00 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Can you just upgrade everything to make sure we're on the same wavelength? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 20:00 |
| savio | there is no option to set service name | 20:00 |
| LCID_Fire | Ubuntu 12.10 just ruined my install. Grub is completely empty. Is there a way to see why it isn't generating any grub entries? | 20:01 |
| burnt | how do I fix this when I try to install gstreamer ??? gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg : Depends: libavcodec53 (< 5:0) but it is not going to be installed or libavcodec-extra-53 (< 5:0) but 6:0.10.4.0ubuntu0jon2.2 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 20:01 |
| theadmin | savio: Run "sudo pppoeconf" to configure a PPPOE connection. | 20:01 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin - totally updated, no actions performed durring updates, nothing deleted | 20:01 |
| burnt | ran apt-get update / upgrade | 20:01 |

| savio | otherwise it says login incorrect | 20:01 |
| burnt | thanks aniket | 20:02 |
| OerHeks | savio, servicename = networkname ? | 20:02 |
| Atlantic777 | .-š | 20:02 |
| aniket | burnt, update. upgrading upgrades your ubuntu to new version. | 20:03 |
| TheMadDrizzle | When i update-grub, it says that I've got two sets of linux and two sets of initrd, and the memtest | 20:03 |
| theadmin | savio: Um, when you configure a DSL connectio in NetworkManager there is "Service"...: http://i.imgur.com/7LytX.png | 20:03 |
| savio | to enable the internet i need to changed conf file then need to restart the nm service then again need to chaned conf file then need to restart service as well as restart the system | 20:03 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin: It doesn't say anything about having archlinux installed | 20:04 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: That kinda... meh. Sorry, not sure about anything... I'm not familiar with GRUB2 since it autoconfigs too much and that confuses me | 20:04 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin: Thanks alot for the help anyways. I'll just putz arround with it for a while until I can get it to work. | 20:05 |
| savio | otherwise nm sometimes don't recognise any network device sometimes it don't recognise ethernet card it just acting like wired one | 20:06 |
| thomasross | Hi\ | 20:06 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Sure. Um, you sure your Arch has a kernel? Cause if not that may be a problem. Sounds silly but just making sure | 20:06 |
| thomasross | How much ram does Ubuntu 1004 require to install? | 20:06 |
| savio | when i do above procedure it connect to internet properly | 20:06 |
| savio | and service name means it assign my isp | 20:07 |
| fasd | Hi! Whenever I boot into ubuntu 12.04 it gives me this: The disk drive for /boot is not ready yet or not present | 20:07 |
| fasd | And then it gives me the option to manually repair or S to skip.. | 20:07 |
| savio | access concentrator | 20:08 |
| savio | like that | 20:08 |
| fasd | So I press S and then it just goes to my desktop no problem. | 20:08 |
| savio | anyone | 20:08 |
| thomasross | How much ram does Ubuntu 12.04.1 require to install? | 20:08 |
| karthick87 | I m using gnome shell classic on ubuntu 12.04. However, i notice that tht (ALT + F2 + r) didnt work. How do i get this effect on gnome shell classic? I just want to restart shell without logging out. | 20:08 |
| theadmin | fasd: Does your /etc/fstab have a /boot entry? If so you probably want to remove it since it appears you don't have a separate boot partition. | 20:08 |
| theadmin | thomasross: Both *require* 512M, but you probably want more for it to work smoothly | 20:09 |
| thomasross | Okay. | 20:09 |
| savio | please help me i'm going crazy here | 20:09 |
| thomasross | What do you reccomend? | 20:09 |
| theadmin | thomasross: What do you mean? | 20:09 |
| thomasross | How much ram do you recommend? | 20:09 |
| thor__ | hi | 20:09 |
| theadmin | thomasross: Hm, I'd say 1G would do just fine. | 20:10 |
| thomasross | Okay i've got around 745 MB | 20:10 |
| thomasross | Would that be enough? | 20:10 |
| theadmin | thomasross: That'd work, yeah, might run into problems with some apps though (Firefox, GIMP...) | 20:10 |
| thomasross | Okay | 20:10 |
| thomasross | When i try to install it, I get an error though | 20:10 |
| thomasross | It says | 20:10 |
| thomasross | IBM detected, refusing to download module | 20:11 |
| thomasross | It is an IBM machine | 20:11 |
| theadmin | thomasross: Xubuntu or Lubuntu will work with less RAM than the regular Ubuntu, by the way. And uh... I have no idea the heck that error can be | 20:11 |
| burnt | aniket : after all that, still no go | 20:11 |
| fasd | theadmin: Here's my fstab: http://www.pasteall.org/35288 | 20:11 |
| thomasross | Okay, I'll go with Xubuntu then, Thanks. | 20:11 |
| burnt | this sort of thing that makes me want to re-install ubutu or at worst go back to windows :? | 20:11 |
| burnt | :( even | 20:11 |
| thor__ | guys i have a bis problem with ffmpeg the terminal send me this: THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** | 20:11 |
| thor__ | This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. | 20:11 |
| aniket | burnt, even after update? | 20:11 |
| thor__ | what can i do? | 20:12 |
| daddy | is there someone here who has experience with VNC and ubuntu? | 20:12 |
| theadmin | fasd: Put a "#" on the beginning of the last line, save it and reboot, see if it works | 20:12 |
| burnt | yeah | 20:12 |
| fasd | Thanks.. will try theadmin | 20:12 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin: Well I had arch up and running before I installed ubuntu, so I'd better have a kernel avaliable for arch. | 20:12 |
| compdoc | daddy, I use vnc4server. Its not for desktop sharing, tho | 20:12 |
| theadmin | fasd: If not, boot from a livecd, find that file and remove the # | 20:12 |
| xibalba | how can i tell if the box i'm logged into is a server or desktop install? | 20:13 |
| TheMadDrizzle | theadmin: Is there anyway I can manually check? ( sorry had to get my son from a nap ) | 20:13 |
| black_joe | daddy: Yes. You need to install and run a package called "x11vnc". Then you can connect to it via remmina or some other client. | 20:13 |
| thor__ | THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. | 20:13 |
| daddy | I have a remote box I need to make stop refusing my connection, I think its the router but Im not sure. | 20:13 |
| burnt | aniket :) yep, this is doing my head in hehe | 20:13 |
| fasd | theadmin: Just the line that says "defaults"? | 20:13 |
| compdoc | daddy, you have to forward the right port on the remote router | 20:13 |
| savio | no one is answering | 20:13 |
| savio | someone | 20:14 |
| daddy | cc it worked before, after a rebot of the macine it refuses the connection | 20:14 |
| theadmin | TheMadDrizzle: Well, find your arch's boot directory and search for the kernel, it normally has a name like "vmlinuz-linux" in Arch | 20:14 |
| theadmin | fasd: Uh, no, your last line in the paste starts with UUID=... and has a /boot in there | 20:14 |
| thor__ | savio what do you nned? | 20:14 |
| daddy | compudoc I mean | 20:14 |
| aniket | burnt, lol! can you paste a screen shot of the error. | 20:14 |
| fasd | theadmin: Right. | 20:15 |
| theadmin | fasd: So that's the one I mean | 20:15 |
| aniket | or whatever result | 20:15 |
| thor__ | guys I need some help whit this warning: THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. | 20:15 |
| fasd | theadmin: Right. So, should I comment out both or just the one? | 20:15 |
| savio | thor__ i having problem with nm | 20:15 |
| compdoc | daddy, what vnc is running there? | 20:16 |
| zykotick9 | thor__: that's just a "warning" not an error really. install avconv if you wish. | 20:16 |
| burnt | yeah its on my paste bin | 20:16 |
| daddy | tight | 20:16 |
| savio | to enable the internet i need to changed conf file then need to restart the nm service then again need to chaned conf file then need to restart service as well as restart the system | 20:16 |
| burnt | http://pastebin.com/rjNGTQp1 | 20:16 |
| compdoc | savio, it works sometimes, and sometimes not? | 20:16 |
| black_joe | thor__: It just means it is outdated software and should not be used. | 20:16 |
| savio | otherwise nm sometimes don't recognise any network device sometimes it don't recognise ethernet card it just acting like wired one | 20:16 |
| burnt | same error | 20:16 |
| daddy | compudoc tightvnc | 20:16 |
| savio | compdoc, to able to work i need to perform above steps | 20:17 |
| theadmin | fasd: Uhm, I confused, you don't have a line that says just "defaults" (is your editor splitting one line in several to save horizontal space?) | 20:17 |
| thor__ | zykotic9 i can convert the .flv format eaven using mencoder or avidemux, some suggestion? | 20:17 |
| fasd | theadmin: That must be it.. | 20:17 |
| fasd | theadmin: but it is fixed now! | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | !tab | thor__ | 20:18 |
| ubottu | thor__: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:18 |
| fasd | theadmin: Thanks a ton. | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | thor__: using ffmpeg is fine as well... | 20:18 |
| theadmin | fasd: Good | 20:18 |
| daddy | tab doesn't work here but I think its because of my retarded keyboard :/ lol | 20:18 |
| thor__ | zykotick, thanks | 20:18 |
| aniket | burnt, hey it clearly states that 6:0.10.4.0ubuntu0jon2.2 needs to installed for some dependencies. i think you might have tried installing it suing apt-get, did you? | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | !tab > thor__ | 20:18 |
| ubottu | thor__, please see my private message | 20:18 |
| aniket | burnt, *using | 20:19 |
| daddy | compdoc neverm, anyway should I be able to SSH into the box easier than using VNC> | 20:19 |
| savio | any solution | 20:19 |
| burnt | I tried to when it gave me that error | 20:20 |
| black_joe | daddy: It is pretty easy. And you can use ssh -X -l username IPADDRESS to pipe graphical programs over ssh. | 20:20 |
| aniket | alright. do a reboot and try again. i suggest! | 20:20 |
| ns-nazri | hi | 20:20 |
| burnt | ok | 20:20 |
| andreb | hi all | 20:20 |
| thor__ | savio did you try to use the privative drivers ? | 20:20 |
| compdoc | daddy, when I have tried installing tightvnc on ubuntu, it doesnt work as well as vnc4server. I once tried installing tightvnc on a centos 6.3 box, and it installed and ran wonderfully. It even includes vncconfig for clipboard transfer. So whoever created the ubuntu packages of tightvnc seems to only have created a bare minimal install. It might not even be set to auto run. | 20:20 |
| burnt | bb in 30 seconds :) ssd ftw | 20:20 |
| andreb | can anyone help me with bind ?? cant seem to configure it right | 20:20 |
| daddy | problem is Im using a windoze machine to SSH into the Ubuntu box | 20:21 |
| savio | nope | 20:21 |
| savio | what are they | 20:21 |
| andreb | i amusing this guide here toi setup teh split dns | 20:21 |
| andreb | http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_Server_(Hardy_Heron)_Install_Guide | 20:21 |
| daddy | compdoc should I build from source then> | 20:21 |
| Floorduck | My laptop's battery life is really bad on ubuntu... it's only about 2 hours, basic use | 20:21 |
| andreb | and i get this erro "DNS ERROR resolving MX for zimbra.chapmans.co.tt" | 20:21 |
| compdoc | daddy, vnc should be as easy as ssh when its working. If you installed openssh-server, it should be running | 20:21 |
| ns-nazri | maybe your battery is bad | 20:21 |
| guntbert_ | daddy: whats the problem with ssh? | 20:22 |
| compdoc | daddy, never build from source if it exists in the repos. Try vnc4server - its more complete | 20:22 |
| Floorduck | My laptop is brand new, though... | 20:22 |
| thor__ | savio try this: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common & ndisgtk | 20:23 |
| savio | for ethernet | 20:23 |
| compdoc | savio, do you have more than one network card? like a wired and a wireless? | 20:23 |
| savio | i'm using r8169 | 20:23 |
| ns-nazri | floorduck: try something new software linux | 20:23 |
| savio | compdoc, nope | 20:24 |
| savio | one wireless and one wired | 20:24 |
| Floorduck | ns-nazri: whats that? | 20:24 |
| Floorduck | I don't understand what you're saying... | 20:24 |
| ns-nazri | are u new laptop | 20:24 |
| compdoc | savio, can you pastebin the changes you have to make? | 20:24 |
| burnt | aniket, still the same :'''( | 20:24 |
| savio | i just changed ifdown to true in NetworkManager.conf | 20:25 |
| l0ll0lll | hi all. Are there any kde>=4.5 packages for ubuntu 10.04 LTS? It seems ubuntu-backports no longer provides them... | 20:26 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: Not official ones anyway. Ubuntu's kinda like Windows, if you want the latest and greatest you should use a latest release -- you can easily upgrade between LTS releases so I suggest getting 12.04 | 20:27 |
| karthick87 | I m using gnome shell classic on ubuntu 12.04. However, i notice that tht (ALT + F2 + r) didnt work. How do i get this effect on gnome shell classic? I just want to restart shell without logging out. | 20:27 |
| andreb | can anyone look at these and tell me where i have gone wrong | 20:29 |
| andreb | http://pastebin.com/4u2MrKF0 http://pastebin.com/HtnAuDBH http://pastebin.com/Y4dV20Uw | 20:29 |

| julia145 | hello | 20:29 |
| aniket | burnt, check this out if it helps http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux/330-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin-post-installation-guide | 20:29 |
| wiickeed | How can i free a port i seem to have something runing on port 69 thats soposed to be reserved for tftp | 20:29 |
| wiickeed | how can i kick of any program on socket 69 | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | Id bet its your tftp server.. ;) | 20:30 |
| l0ll0lll | theadmin: ok, thanks | 20:30 |
| Floorduck | Is 5400rpm significantly worse than 7200rpm for a harddrive? | 20:30 |
| l0ll0lll | seems will have to compile it myself | 20:31 |
| theadmin | karthick87: Try "killall gnome-panel" (you can assign that to a keyboard shortcut if you want), it will restart the gnome panel (there's no "classic shell", by the way, only the gnome-panel) | 20:31 |
| wiickeed | Dr_willis: possible it's a script i ran before but no way of closing it cant find it under programs | 20:31 |
| jerry_l1 | i would not say significantly. | 20:32 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: ...If you're ready to compile KDE might as well go with Gentoo [/offtopic] | 20:32 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: Try googling "KDE ppa lucid" | 20:32 |
| wiickeed | Dr_willis: im looking for a way to kick it off the port via terminal if possible | 20:32 |
| savio | anybody knows how to setup service name in pppoe connection | 20:32 |
| Floorduck | I ask only because I've found an alternative, cheaper laptop of the same brand | 20:32 |
| Dr_willis | wiickeed, use ps or top or htop to find the process and kill it. | 20:32 |
| l0ll0lll | theadmin: i have googled, but the ppa is no longer useful for lucid | 20:32 |
| jerry_l1 | you ave to try the hard drive and see if it is acceptable. | 20:32 |
| julia145 | anybidy help | 20:32 |
| Floorduck | which has a 7200rpm drive instead of a 5400rpm one (which I have now) | 20:32 |
| l0ll0lll | theadmin: and as for Gentoo, it's overkill, especially for netbook | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | Floorduck, the rest is identical? | 20:33 |
| aniket | savio, try nm-connection-editor | 20:33 |
| julia145 | with usb modem on ubuntu | 20:33 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: Heh, okay then, makes sense | 20:33 |
| Floorduck | Uh, more or less. let me double check | 20:33 |
| jerry_l1 | the laptop is a different senario because of smaller platers. | 20:33 |
| julia145 | i got some errors | 20:33 |
| wiickeed | Dr_willis: gives me nothing same as task manager | 20:34 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: This appears to provide 4.7 on Lucid: https://launchpad.net/~euroford/+archive/kde | 20:34 |
| jerry_l1 | i have a 5400rpm 160GB sata WD hard drive for my laptop and it is fine running XP and puppy linux | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | Floorduck, one thing to consider.. the hard drive is going to be aboyut the easiest thing to replace/upgrade | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | wiickeed, task manager? Try ps ax and look for what might be using the port. | 20:34 |
| jerry_l1 | although i dont use the laptop for media editing..... | 20:35 |

| Floorduck | The latter is less expensive, has 6gb of ram instead of 4, and has a 7200rpm drive :l | 20:36 |
| julia145 | this it | 20:36 |
| julia145 | http://10.69.105.149:8080/errors | 20:36 |
| Dr_willis | Floorduck, hd is easier to upgrade then ram . ram is fairly easy. but if you got 6gb you most likely wont ever upgrade it. | 20:37 |
| theadmin | l0ll0lll: However, you use PPAs at your own risk. Neither me nor the Ubuntu team are responsible for any breakage they make cause. | 20:37 |
| theadmin | s/make/may/ | 20:37 |
| Dr_willis | Floorduck, BEST boost for a system i find is putting in a SSD. | 20:37 |
| l0ll0lll | theadmin: yeah, i understand this | 20:37 |
| jerry_l1 | reviewing laptops..... | 20:38 |
| Floorduck | Someone told me that getting "uneven" ram was bad | 20:38 |
| Floorduck | and that therefore 4gb would be better than 6... | 20:38 |
| burnt | nothing works aniket :) | 20:38 |

| harshn | remastersys fails on Ubntu 12.04, Live user is not created... any workaround so far?? | 20:39 |
| l0ll0lll | julia145: your link is broken | 20:40 |
| mg_ | I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 with ubuntu 12.04 and the mini-display port doesn't work at all. nvidia-config shows only one screen, so does xrandr. I've tried downgrading to 290.10 but no luck. Any tips? | 20:40 |
| jerry_l1 | well i gues the main diff would be the wone that costs more is prettier. | 20:40 |
| navap_ | julia145: That's a private IP, only you can see anything at that IP | 20:40 |
| jerry_l1 | 6gigs is cheaper that 4gigs and the 7200 is cheaper than te 5200... sounds more like the price diff is for the packaging. | 20:41 |

| black_13 | what is name of installer application | 20:43 |
| theadmin | black_13: Ubiquity | 20:43 |
| black_13 | in ubuntu 12? | 20:43 |
| Dr_willis | harshn, checked askubuntu.com yet? I recall seeing some info about it there. | 20:43 |
| black_13 | unity or uquity or something else | 20:43 |
| theadmin | black_13: If you mean the one that installs the Live system to a hard drive, Ubiquity. | 20:43 |
| black_13 | theadmin: when Ubiquity is started where does it read the preseed file from? | 20:44 |
| black_13 | or how does it find the pressed file it does use this file? | 20:44 |
| harshn | Dr_wills..Apart from that.. Yes I tried looking into remastersys forum as well.. many people have faced this problem...No unique cause is known... there may be various reasons... I have tried everything...No luck so far | 20:46 |

| Con | Hi. When I do do a 'apt-get update' I get a key error for a non-Ubuntu repository: http://pastebin.com/i2RT26DC . 'apt-key list' doesn't show any expired keys. How can I get more information out of apt? | 20:47 |
| Robinux | Dr_willis, when I first upgraded to 12.04 before the summer it gave me HeLL! | 20:48 |
| Robinux | hehe ... but I'm guessing everything should be ok now :) | 20:48 |
| Robinux | I'm gonna remove wicd and install it back cuz I need to NAT. | 20:48 |
| theadmin | black_13: Hm... Maybe you can find info on that in "man ubiquity" or such? (I don't have ubiquity so don't have the manpage) | 20:48 |
| nobcake | cantide it gae us all "Hell" | 20:48 |
| k1l_ | Con: contact the admin from the repo | 20:49 |
| black_13 | theadmin: source for ubiquity should be available some place shouldn't it? | 20:49 |
| theadmin | black_13: Source-code for any of the opensource Ubuntu packages is in the repos, "apt-get source packagename" | 20:50 |
| Con | k1l_: The repository isn't the problem. Others can update fine to it. I simply want to debug my situation, but I can't seem to get more information out of apt. | 20:50 |
| theadmin | black_13: You need to have source repos enabled though | 20:50 |

| annaStar | ? | 20:59 |
| nibbler_ | annaStar, how did you mount it? | 20:59 |
| theadmin | annaStar: Can you browse to that location in the filemanager? After that, hit Ctrl-L aaand you'll get the location | 20:59 |
| nibbler_ | annaStar, besides this, the output of "mount" in the console would tell you | 20:59 |
| black_joe | annaStar: Probably in /media or /run/media/username/ | 21:00 |
| nibbler_ | ~/.gvfs/* ? | 21:00 |
| annaStar | nibbler_: just double clicked on it.... and i can see the mounted file under "network" | 21:00 |
| d00durk00l | ? | 21:00 |
| d00durk00l | lol | 21:00 |
| d00durk00l | nibbler_: Now if you had of mounted it via cli would know exactly where it was mounted | 21:01 |
| annaStar | i mean... I can see it in the window manager under "network" | 21:01 |
| d00durk00l | is it shared? | 21:01 |
| annaStar | How can I mount it in command line? | 21:02 |
| nibbler_ | annaStar, execute "mount | grep -i iso" in a command shell (ctrl-alt-T) and you will see | 21:02 |
| nibbler_ | annaStar, sudo mount -oloop -tiso 9660 /patch/to/file.iso /mnt (to mount it to /mnt) | 21:02 |
| black_13 | lord nibbler | 21:02 |
| theadmin | annaStar: To mount an ISO file in a commandline, do: mkdir iso ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/your/file.iso iso | 21:02 |
| theadmin | nibbler_: You've got some mess with spaces there | 21:03 |
| nibbler_ | oops ;-) -tiso9660 that should be ;-) | 21:03 |

| deitrick | with what? | 21:05 |
| d00durk00l | I am running a sftp.... He is connected and downloading a file.. How do I check on the progress from my side? | 21:06 |
| d00durk00l | when I do a "w" or "who" he doesn't even show.. | 21:06 |
| deitrick | sorry no idea. why do you need to know? | 21:07 |
| zykotick9 | d00durk00l: from terminal see if this shows anything? ps aux | grep ssh | 21:07 |
| d00durk00l | yeah it shows he is connected | 21:08 |
| d00durk00l | but wondering why it isn't showing up in the w or who.. Shouldn't it? | 21:08 |
| d00durk00l | also I can't monitor how his download is going | 21:08 |
| d00durk00l | there has to be a way I can do that | 21:08 |
| zykotick9 | !iso | 21:08 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:08 |
| nibbler_ | d00durk00l, iptraf, tcpdump..... | 21:08 |
| theadmin | d00durk00l: Not unless the user is actually logged in, as for "who" (and logged in means got through the login program and is running a login shell...) | 21:08 |
| d00durk00l | kk thx admin | 21:09 |
| nibbler_ | d00durk00l, but those won't provide a percentage bar etc. but you could check on the download speed etc | 21:09 |
| d00durk00l | nibbler_: Hmmm they are just sniffers correct? | 21:09 |
| nibbler_ | d00durk00l, correct. but they tell you bandwith usage and stuff... ntop should be mentioned along that, too | 21:10 |
| nibbler_ | d00durk00l, don't know what your problem is, but i assume you need to find a solution like these... | 21:10 |

| d00durk00l | I chrooted the directory but still don't like the idea of someome on the machine without seeing what he is doing :P | 21:11 |
| blahdyblahblah | nibbler_: Thanks | 21:11 |
| _alecst | yep | 21:11 |
| nibbler_ | d00durk00l, ah - paranoia - lsof etc might be helpfull - also some logging shell if they have ssh access and for the ftp server some logfiles/loglevel tuning? | 21:12 |
| TJ- | d00durk00l: Get the ssh process id, and then do "sudo cat /proc/$PID/net/netstat" | 21:13 |

| nibbler_ | TJ-: thats a nice one.... i'll try to remember ;) | 21:14 |
| kicker86 | hello people. just made the switch to ubuntu :) owing to my project about semantic filesystem. | 21:15 |
| TJ- | nibbler_: Well, anytime you know a related PID, you can just look at the wealth of info in /proc/$PID/ | 21:15 |
| kicker86 | I needed help about how to store the installed packages so that in the event of reinstall, I can have the same versions of everything | 21:15 |
| kicker86 | like gcc, libs and all... | 21:15 |
| kicker86 | any help would be much appreciated :) | 21:15 |
| jrib | kicker86: your packages should be frome the official repositories, all you really need are their names | 21:16 |
| jrib | !clone | kicker86 | 21:16 |
| ubottu | kicker86: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 21:16 |
| black_joe | kicker86: You can use a package called apton-cd to make a backup .iso file. Or you can generate a markings list in synaptic to re-download the packages again. | 21:16 |
| nibbler_ | TJ-, that part i knew... mainly used for cmdline... but the per-process net statistics are nice. there should be cli tools also to display bandwidth etc there... | 21:16 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: i don't think !clone should be used anymore. | 21:16 |
| TJ- | nibbler_: Where do you think lsof gets its stuff from? :p | 21:16 |
| jrib | zykotick9: sad :/ | 21:17 |
| kicker86 | no, I meant backup/copy them to a seperate location and install it again. I already tried copying my packages, but the depencies craze me out. | 21:17 |
| blahdyblahblah | kicker86: Just backup the drive with rsync. As long as you preserve the permissions you should be fine | 21:17 |
| kicker86 | drive? as in the entire drive? :P no man! I just need the packages | 21:18 |
| nibbler_ | TJ-, and top, ifconfig, ip.... but there is also /proc/net/... and other stuff that might hold the summaries for networking, a per-pid statistics with the extra infos of multicasts etc etc... thats what i like about this "file" | 21:18 |
| zykotick9 | kicker86: /var/cache/apt/archives/ stores downloaded packages | 21:18 |
| TJ- | kicker86: If you need that, install to an LVM volume then take a snapshot before you do anything... in the event you need to go back, just use the snapshot | 21:18 |
| === _alecst is now known as alecst | ||
| kicker86 | ubottu: okay... could you please just let me know what that exactly does??? | 21:18 |
| ubottu | kicker86: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:18 |
| jrib | kicker86: if you're using multi-arch, aptitude won't play nice. You can use dpkg --get-selections and --set-selections instead | 21:18 |
| TJ- | nibbler_: I agree... /proc/... is great especially if the system is misbehaving ... all you need is "ls" and "cat" :) | 21:18 |
| jrib | kicker86: it just records a list of what packages you have installed so you can install them again easily (it's just a text file) | 21:19 |
| === willythewisp_ is now known as willythewisp | ||
| zykotick9 | jrib: dpkg in debian just got multi-arch support, are you certain ubuntu's has it? (you could be right!) | 21:19 |
| kicker86 | jrib: multi-arch? I hope you mean x86-x64 thing right? | 21:19 |
| kicker86 | ubottu: no problems, as long as you help ;) | 21:19 |
| ubottu | kicker86: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:19 |
| jrib | kicker86: multi-arch lets you install i386 packages on an amd64 system for example | 21:19 |
| TJ- | kicker86: Do you want just the list of packages, or the packages and the *exact* versions ? | 21:19 |
| kicker86 | TJ: exact versions. I'm aware of how synaptic can generate list of pacakges, so that I can again download them on another machine. | 21:20 |
| jrib | zykotick9: no, I just wasn't aware that dpkg did not support it | 21:20 |
| kicker86 | the thing is: I am doing a project, and I need to retain a certain version number across the entire project. So, the same packages need to be installed eg some tools and libs. I tried copying the packages out of the directory storage and using dpkg but then they have dependencies | 21:21 |

| kicker86 | btw, dpkg does have multi-arch support. | 21:22 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: i don't know the specifics, but there are other issues using dpkg to generate/regenerate package listings. the OPs shot down my suggestion of using dpkg as an alternative to aptitude quickly, to try and fix !clone. | 21:22 |
| hex20dec | Hey people, question, I have a machine running ubuntu. And I want to upgrade, do I have to reinstall the OS? Or can I just transfer the hard drive? | 21:23 |
| jrib | kicker86: imo it's not worth it to do that since in a given release of ubuntu the versions aren't going to significantly change. If you insist on doing it though, both the apt-on-cd suggestion or lvm snapshot suggestion should work | 21:23 |
| kicker86 | hex20dec: transfer as in what? what are you upgrading? | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | !upgrade | 21:24 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:24 |
| TJ- | jrib: zykotick9 I've been using dpkg with multi-arch successfully ... I wonder what the 'problems' are? | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | hex20dec, you mean upgrade to the next release? | 21:24 |
| hex20dec | kicker86: Completely new machine. I'm just wondering if it's like on windows that it's a must to reinstall because of the drivers. | 21:24 |
| kicker86 | jrib: sorry, I did not get your point. Mine was that I install some additional tools and libs not available in the OS, which I need to install again after a reinstall. | 21:24 |
| hex20dec | Taking the hdd from one computer to another. | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | hex20dec, move the HD over and see.. this is a desktop or laptop? | 21:25 |
| zykotick9 | hex20dec: fyi, propritary video cards / wireless driver "could" be an issue changing h/w (but mostly it should work and/or be fixable ;) | 21:25 |
| kicker86 | hex20dec: no, if you are just transfering the HDD, it must me fine. Unless the configs are waay to crazy different. | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | hex20dec, ive moved HDs to differnt machines befor with very few issues.. like from an old old nvidia card to a new one.. had to install differnt nvidia drivers. | 21:25 |
| kicker86 | hex20dec: rightly :) experiment and let us know too! :) btw, right on that graphics driver thing. but you can fix that up easily... | 21:26 |
| jrib | kicker86: my suggestion is to just have a text file that tells you what packages you have installed. Saving all the debs seems like overkill imo because of ubuntu's update policy on releases. This doesn't do what you asked but I'm merely pointing out to you that it's unnecessary work in my opinion | 21:26 |
| unless__ | LordG33k, I am having huge issues in to forward ports of my router. | 21:26 |
| unless__ | ups, sorry. | 21:26 |
| hex20dec | Alright, good to know linux works differently. Thanks guys. | 21:27 |
| kicker86 | jrib: yeah, I realised that it is the elegant solution! btw, does it also automatically add the dependencies to list? | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: apt-cacher ftw in downloading updates and sharing for a local network/VMs | 21:27 |
| kicker86 | you guys must have heard of keryx right? the package downloader thing? works? | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: i like you text file idea - i only wish there was a "good" way to do it ;) | 21:27 |
| jrib | kicker86: run "dpkg --get-selections" now, you'll see what it does (it just records the state of packages you've installed at some point) | 21:28 |
| kicker86 | jrib: exactly :P which includes galaga and dope wars which I dont want :P :D | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info keryx | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Package keryx does not exist in precise | 21:28 |
| kicker86 | rightly pointed out: keryx needs to be downloaded and requires python, which again, is not instaled in precise. | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kicker86: is it for installing debs? | 21:29 |
| jrib | zykotick9: kind of curious about the issues with dpkg; do you remember who mentioned there might be some? In any case, if we can't verify dpkg is safe to use, I'll ammend the factoid to at least include a warning | 21:29 |
| kicker86 | which brings me to another point, ubuntu is becoming such a generic distribution. Any alternatives for programmers? specifically? | 21:29 |
| kicker86 | ActionParsnip: yes, I suppose... | 21:29 |
| Floorduck | I'm wondering if linux is slow because its slow or because its on a 5400 rpm harddrive that im not used to... | 21:30 |
| kicker86 | ActionParsnip: the site is http://keryxproject.org/ | 21:30 |
| TJ- | kicker86: keryx is rather like simply doing "apt-get --download-only" | 21:30 |
| Floorduck | is there any diagnostic software which could take hardware into consideration and assess my computers performance? | 21:30 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: i don't remember who/specifics sorry. but it was several people confirming dpkg wasn't really a good "drop-in" replacement for the !clone factiod. it was in #ubuntu-irc (or whatever) a couple months ago. | 21:30 |
| kicker86 | TJ: what about the support thing? like offline installations and all? | 21:30 |
| kicker86 | TJ: I download packages in it and I can always "offline" install it later right | 21:31 |
| kicker86 | Floorduck: yes there are. | 21:31 |
| TJ- | kicker86: That's what "dpkg" is for ... "dpkg -i <list of .debs>" or "dpkg -di <directory of debs>" | 21:31 |
| drupin | issue with java | 21:31 |
| drupin | i got bad PPA loaded | 21:31 |
| TJ- | kicker86: apt stores all the packages it has downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 21:31 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: but aptitude is closing in on "dangerous" to use. | 21:32 |
| drupin | barely now managed to remove it | 21:32 |
| wolter | How can I have a wired and a wireless connection at the same time? | 21:32 |
| kicker86 | TJ: dpkg installs downloaded deb. But it does not manage dependencies. | 21:32 |
| kicker86 | TJ: am aware of the apt archive. | 21:32 |
| wolter | It seems that enabling a wired connection kills my wireless connection (in the sense that I can no longer connect to the internet, but the connection remains active) | 21:32 |
| drupin | now two non working java console and visualVM icons are sitting inside the settings menu.. how i remove them | 21:33 |
| sambagirl | i am tryhing to install novo-builder do i have to modify the repos? | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | menus get defined by the various .desktop files, find where those are comming from, remove/move the .desktop file and restart the desktop to regfenerate the menus | 21:35 |
| TJ- | wolter: Sounds as if the wired connection is being allowed to take-over the default route | 21:35 |
| sambagirl | i type sudo apt-et install novo-builder novo-preset-latest | 21:35 |
| sambagirl | i type sudo apt-get install novo-builder novo-preset-latest | 21:35 |
| wolter | TJ-, how can I prevent that? | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | !info novo-builder | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Package novo-builder does not exist in precise | 21:36 |
| TJ- | kicker86: I think your simplest solution will be a snapshot of a base install before any customisations have been made - Installing into a raw image virtual machine means you could just 'dd' it to a hard drive and fire it up | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | looks like you need to add a ppa or somthing. ;) | 21:36 |
| sambagirl | well dr_willis | 21:36 |
| sambagirl | umm | 21:36 |
| kicker86 | TJ-> sure. but then that would not be the simplest solution :) | 21:37 |
| sambagirl | maybe synaptic has it | 21:37 |
| kicker86 | I suppose, synaptic->list isn't bad and looks to be better than the options! | 21:38 |
| TJ- | wolter: In the Network Manager applet, choose Edit Connections..., select the Wired connection, Edit... then "IPv4 Settings" tab, then "Routes..." button then tick "Use this connection only for resources on its network" | 21:38 |
| Dr_willis | sambagirl, err.. synaptic is a front end to the apt/dpkg system.. so if its not in the repos.. its not in the repos.. | 21:38 |
| sambagirl | i have the tar | 21:38 |
| sambagirl | but it doesnt install | 21:39 |
| TJ- | kicker86: Really? It's a darned site faster that reinstalling packages! You install once.. then only need to bitblt the image when you restore | 21:39 |
| sambagirl | seems to me i could jsut do a install file | 21:39 |
| Dr_willis | sambagirl, given the variaty of things that could be in a 'tar' its hard to tell.. | 21:39 |
| sambagirl | ok | 21:40 |
| wolter | TJ-, how can I prevent that? | 21:40 |
| kicker86 | TJ: right. maybe I got the wrong idea. Could you please elaborate? | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | all the novo-builder hits i find on google are like 2011 and earlier.. | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | http://maketecheasier.com/build-your-own-ubuntu-based-distro-with-novo-builder/2010/07/02 | 21:41 |
| SilfenX | is there a vncserver for 12-10 that the realvnc viewer is capable of establishing an encrypted connection to? | 21:41 |
| sambagirl | i decided to run it in the terminal it works with perfection | 21:42 |
| sambagirl | btw i installed 10.04 cause it works :D | 21:42 |
| sambagirl | and it is supported :D | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | for a while at least. | 21:43 |
| sambagirl | well i have 10.10 on this one and it's not yet an earlier ver is. go figure. the logic is alomst microsoftish in idiocy :D | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | Limited man power is the bottom line. | 21:44 |
| sambagirl | all the desktop wars are to much anymore. | 21:44 |
| sambagirl | well you need a few good women | 21:44 |
| sambagirl | that is the problem | 21:44 |
| drupin | i tried to install the java 7 via some non working PPA later found its not supported. all files i removed only this two icons are there in settings menu.. how i can remove | 21:44 |
| TJ- | kicker86: There's 2 ways. 1. Install from LiveCD. Create 10G file-system partition on the HDD. Install into it. Before rebooting, create a 2nd 10G partition on the HDD and 'dd' the installed image into it ("sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda2"). Now you have an identical 'recovery' image. Boot as normal to the installed image in /dev/sda1 and use it. Any time in the future you need to reinstall you would boot from the liveCD do "try Ubuntu", start a terminal and do "su | 21:44 |
| TJ- | do dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sda1". After that completes you can reboot the PC and sda1 will be like new | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | drupin, menus get defined by the various .desktop files, find where those are comming from, remove/move the .desktop file and restart the desktop to regfenerate the menus | 21:44 |
| L3top | !lts | sambagirl | 21:45 |
| ubottu | sambagirl: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | i am about to resort back to Hoary | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | oh god l3top | 21:45 |
| L3top | lol | 21:45 |
| TJ- | kicker86: The 2nd way is like that but you'd install twice. Once to the hard disk, and a 2nd time into a virtual machine raw image that was aimed at sda2. The first method saves repetition of the install. | 21:45 |
| drupin | in the /home Dr_willis | 21:45 |
| L3top | I get that a lot from the wimmins | 21:45 |
| Dr_willis | drupin, no idea where they are at. User installed stuff can bein their home.. system wide stuff sould be somewhere else.. | 21:45 |
| sambagirl | why dont you stay in your own channel this is for professional ubuntu personnel :D | 21:46 |
| wolter | TJ-, thanks!! | 21:46 |
| Neptu | hej how can i get the version of apt-get for asterisk without install it first? | 21:47 |
| drupin | ok | 21:47 |
| Dr_willis | !version | 21:47 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 21:47 |
| jrib | Neptu: apt-cache policy PACKAGE | 21:47 |
| TJ- | jrib: impressed! I was still trying to figure that question out! | 21:48 |
| Neptu | jrib: thanks | 21:48 |
| jrib | TJ-: took me a couple of reads ;) | 21:48 |

| Robinux | will I need a restart for net. m applet to show up? after installing the applet? | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | Robinux, log out/back in perhaps | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Robinux: You should be able to start it in a terminal and put it into the background using "nm-applet&" | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Robinux: I used to do that when I was bug-fixing it | 21:55 |
| Robinux | ok will try, Dr_willis .... its just that I hate restarting ever since I upgraded to 12.04 ...... it takes ages loading networking configurations or whatever | 21:56 |
| Robinux | that I will never use | 21:56 |
| Dr_willis | Robinux, weird.. mine loads almost instantly.. from Grub -> deskktop in about 10 secs.. | 21:56 |
| Robinux | hah | 21:56 |
| Robinux | the networking stuff it loads takes 60 seconds | 21:57 |
| Dr_willis | cant say that ive really seen it load any networking 'stuff' | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Robinux: sounds like a time-out waiting for something... do you have any NFS mounts in fstab ? | 21:57 |
| Robinux | TJ-, oh wait I'm on unity I believe, and I installed network-manager-gnome | 21:57 |
| Dr_willis | or some odd ipv6 quirk. | 21:57 |
| Robinux | no NFS | 21:58 |
| TJ- | Robinux: It's always best to check the log files. They're very helpful since they timestamp each entry. You can see where the delays are and find out if they're necessary, or the result of some issue. | 21:58 |
| Robinux | but my wireless nic doesn't match well with 12.04 I've read about so many others having issues... the fix to get it to connect was to install wicd and remove nm. | 21:59 |
| TJ- | Robinux: That's a pain.. what's the NIC? | 21:59 |
| Robinux | so I dunno that could be the reason for the 60 second+ delay loading that sheet | 22:00 |

| draxxxus | wtf is this | 22:04 |
| draxxxus | ;] | 22:05 |
| TJ- | Robinux: The usual problem is that the "ipw2200" module doesn't get loaded. I recall that issue on one of my older test notebooks, but once the module was added to "/etc/modules" it had no problem with Network Manager | 22:05 |
| === Cottus is now known as Briareos | ||
| Robinux | oh | 22:08 |
| Robinux | is that automatic or do I have to do it manually TJ- | 22:08 |
| Robinux | and is network-manager-gnome applet supposed to work with unity? | 22:08 |
| |Anthony| | ?? X | 22:09 |
| TJ- | Robinux: Adding a module name to "/etc/modules" means it'll be loaded at strart-up. As long as there isn't an entry in "/etc/network/interfaces" for the WiFi interface (usually wlan0 but can vary) then Network Manager will find and manage the interface for you | 22:09 |
| |Anthony| | what version of Xorg is in use for 12.04 | 22:09 |
| TJ- | Robinux: network-manager-gnome is the package that contains nm-applet :) | 22:10 |

| uberTaco | When someone ACPI-savvy has a spare moment, I've got a weird issue with battery charge state after resume. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: why was that not in the initial question? | 22:21 |
| |Anthony| | thank you | 22:21 |
| ozette_ | TJ- my backlight is at it's lowest, but sometimes gets somewhat brighter for no reason | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | uberTaco: are there any bugs reported? | 22:21 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: Any clues in kern.log ? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: do you have the latest BIOS? | 22:21 |
| uberTaco | f2prateek_: I'm on a Radeon mobility system. I'm just using the version from the "Additional drivers" menu, no problems so far. | 22:21 |
| uberTaco | ActionParsnip: not that I've found by googling (incl. with domain filters) | 22:21 |
| |Anthony| | xubuntu running Xorg 1.11.3. Which version does that match up with here http://www.x.org/wiki/UserDocumentation | 22:22 |
| TJ- | ozette_: Hmmm... are the brighter times linked to anything you/the PC are doing - like programs being run? | 22:22 |
| Robinux | oij;jn;in | 22:22 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: wasn't aware of that logfile. I'll repro the issue and see what I find there. Thanks | 22:22 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, I might not, but how can I know if 12.04 will support that? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | uberTaco: I suggest you report a bug | 22:22 |
| uberTaco | ActionParsnip: I wanted to ensure it wasn't misconfiguration first. | 22:22 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, webbrowsing, when I scroll up or down with arrow keys | 22:23 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, for example .. | 22:23 |
| f2prateek_ | uberTaco: sounds good, thanks | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: you may need a windows OS to do it :(. Check to see what fixes the newer BIOS gives. You may not need it if you get no ACPI fixes | 22:23 |
| uberTaco | ozette_: hm. Stuck function key maybe? | 22:23 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, no thanks :) | 22:23 |
| uberTaco | software-stuck, not hardware. Or possibly weird keycode issues of that sort | 22:24 |
| ozette_ | uberTaco, I don't know but it's really anoying and it's at random so it can't be a setting | 22:24 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: There are some additional ACPI-related boot-time kernel parameters you can try that may help. The current set are found in the kernel source's "Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt" which you can find on the kernels' git-web site | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: so, why didn't you mention the make and model of the system in the initial question? | 22:24 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: ah, awesome. Thanks | 22:25 |
| uberTaco | ActionParsnip: bit hostile, dude. Mellow a bit. :) | 22:25 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, does it matter, I want to have a broad audience | 22:25 |
| TJ- | ozette_: sounds weird, but could it be related to when the CPU switches from a low speed to a higher speed (as you ask it to do more when pressing a key) ? | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: yes because it uniquely identifys the components in the system and we can also search for bugs for the model | 22:25 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, hmm .. | 22:25 |
| uberTaco | back in a bit -- gonna suspend/resume to reproduce the issue and watch kernel log | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: does it have a dual video chip? Intel and nvidia for example? | 22:26 |
| Neptu | hej how i can download the kernel sources of my current project? | 22:26 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, Ok but now you know it right | 22:26 |
| [twisti] | is there no ubuntu server live cd ? | 22:26 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, no ati | 22:26 |
| k1l_ | [twisti]: no, that doesnt make sense ata ll | 22:26 |
| [twisti] | it does to me | 22:26 |
| TJ- | Neptu: "git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git" | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an intel GPU too? | 22:26 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, I believe this Asus' model is k53U | 22:26 |
| [twisti] | just because you personally dont want or need something doesnt mean nobody does | 22:26 |
| k1l_ | [twisti]: then use a regular live cd | 22:27 |
| jrib | [twisti]: I don't believe there is one. Why do you need it? | 22:27 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, let me check | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: if you boot to the server installation, you can press CTRL+ALT+F1 and get a terminal | 22:27 |
| Neptu | TJ-: does not sound like a plan | 22:27 |
| [twisti] | where does one get the regular live cd ? | 22:27 |
| |Anthony| | why does the Xorg version numbering differ from the man page (1.11.3) and here http://www.x.org/wiki/UserDocumentation | 22:27 |
| TJ- | !cdimage | 22:27 |
| |Anthony| | makes it difficult to know which doc to read | 22:27 |
| jrib | [twisti]: the regular ubuntu cd (the desktop one) is also a live cd | 22:27 |
| [twisti] | i see only the regular download on the page | 22:27 |
| k1l_ | !downloads > [twisti] | 22:27 |
| [twisti] | ah, ok, thanks | 22:27 |
| Neptu | Anyone know how to get the sources from my current kernel using apt-get? | 22:27 |
| blackshirt | neptu | 22:27 |
| blackshirt | N | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: the regular download has the option to run a live desktop and not install | 22:28 |
| TJ- | Neptu: "apt-get source <package-name>" | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: prefixed with sudo? | 22:29 |
| blackshirt | linux-source | 22:29 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: nope, not for sources | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | TJ-: cool, just checking :) | 22:29 |
| ozette_ | no intel chip | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: good, that makes life a tonne easier | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ozette_: try the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor | 22:33 |
| Neptu | ok cross fingers | 22:34 |
| TJ- | ozette_: It'd be helpful to know what backlight controller is in use right now. Do "ls -l /sys/class/backlight/" | 22:34 |
| thomasross | Hi | 22:35 |
| thomasross | Is there an xubuntu room? | 22:35 |
| ozette_ | ActionParsnip, ok | 22:35 |
| k1l_ | thomasross: #xubuntu ? | 22:35 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, oki | 22:35 |
| uberTaco | hmm, not much in kern.log that seems useful | 22:36 |
| uberTaco | only errors are "IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1" and the same for cpu #2 | 22:36 |
| uberTaco | googling those errors isn't exactly revelatory | 22:36 |
| uberTaco | but I think since they're CPU-related, they shouldn't affect battery state -- right? | 22:37 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: AMD CPU? | 22:37 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: yep, Phenom II X3 | 22:38 |
| uberTaco | a mobile chip | 22:38 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: Can you pastebin the lines from kern.log from when the system prepares to go into suspend, until it has fully resumed? | 22:38 |
| uberTaco | sure | 22:38 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, does acpi_video0 tell you anything? | 22:38 |
| chriswere | hey guys, why is it so darn difficult to get duel monitors working from different graphics cards? I set up my windows partition to do this in less than 10 minutes but have spent the whole day doing it here and I'm only find more bugs. Please help guys. | 22:39 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: The IBS reports is usually reported as a firmware bug... ACPI is otherwise known as firmware, so yes, it could be related | 22:39 |
| TJ- | ozette_: Can you show me the entire output of that command ? | 22:39 |
| k1l_ | chriswere: i think its easy, atleast its for me with my nvidia card. but if you mention your real problem and the driver and video card someone could help | 22:40 |
| chriswere | I've tried to set up dual monitors in gnome and every time i log in it creates additional panels, I don't know why, also with dual monitors enabled I'm stuck without gnome 3d which is a pain. | 22:40 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: http://pastebin.com/yqwgwZLN | 22:40 |
| mg2013 | I have vino setup on my desktop, I want to remote view it on my laptop but how do I do that? | 22:40 |
| TJ- | chriswere: Unfortunately, the folks that write the display drivers apparently don't use multi-GPU multi-monitor set-ups too often and therefore don't test it! | 22:40 |
| Kii | hi there | 22:40 |
| Kii | :p | 22:40 |
| chriswere | k1l_: do you know how i go about fixing this? | 22:41 |
| uberTaco | mg2013: you'll want to use a VNC viewer to connect to your desktop | 22:41 |
| mg2013 | do you know of any? | 22:41 |
| Kii | does anyone know how to use play on linux or wine | 22:41 |
| k1l_ | chriswere: fixing what? | 22:41 |
| ozette_ | TJ-, acpi_video0 -> /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/backlight/acpi_video0 | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: play what? | 22:42 |
| uberTaco | mg2013: Vinagre is a good one if you're in regular ubuntu (GNOME desktop), krdc is good for Kubuntu (KDE desktop) | 22:42 |
| chriswere | k1l_: fixing the fact I can't set up dual monitors, that since I select two monitors it gets rid of my gnome 3d and puts me into the 2d version, which adds additional panels each and evry time i log in. | 22:42 |
| Kii | I've got an original CD of Age Of Empire but wine nor pol recognize it | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: is it listed on the wine appdb? | 22:42 |
| ghassani | I am having issues with GRUB in 12.04.1 - It never times out and automatically selects the OS I specified in the config. I have to hit enter. I havent even changed the config at all.. My config: http://pastebin.com/mHL9ArTK | 22:42 |
| mg2013 | ok, thanks! | 22:43 |
| Kii | is that appdb relative to me ? | 22:43 |
| TJ- | ozette_: OK, that tells us that the backlight is being controlled by ACPI system firmware written by the PC maker. It could be some kind of ACPI firmware interaction that isn't correctly interpreted. Try ActionParsnip's suugestion for an alternate backlight driver at boot time | 22:43 |
| k1l_ | chriswere: that depends on the videocards and the used driver. | 22:43 |
| ozette_ | ok | 22:43 |
| as007 | boys....boys everywhere. | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: yes as it tells of users experiences with certain apps | 22:43 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: Your log matches reports I'm reading ... file a bug against the "linux" package on launchpad | 22:44 |
| uberTaco | Kii: http://appdb.winehq.org has a list of which apps/games are supported well by Wine. Often there are instructions for making more problematic apps behave properly in Wine | 22:44 |
| Kii | it is listed on POL available software, where can I find this list ? | 22:44 |
| Kii | ty :) | 22:44 |
| chriswere | k1l_okay just found another bug, my terminal won't let me type anything in it | 22:44 |
| chriswere | wow I can't belive how many bugs I'm finding in ubuntu today. so much buggier than windows | 22:45 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: are there existing bug reports? No need to clog up the bug tracker | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: i doubt it | 22:45 |
| TJ- | ghassani: That occurs when the operating system didn't shutdown cleanly last time. GRUB won't autoboot in case it starts a kernel that is broken | 22:45 |
| uberTaco | chriswere: you didn't happen to press Ctrl-S, did you? | 22:45 |
| chriswere | uberTaco: no | 22:45 |
| TJ- | uberTaco: You'd find that out when you write the bug summary and launchpad looks for existing bugs that may match | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: the ones in Ubuntu are just mor visible | 22:46 |
| d00durk00l | Okay I am going to ask this question again and hopefully someone here has a answer! | 22:46 |
| Kii | i found it on the wine appdb | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: if you use terminal a lot, I can recommend you install guake :) | 22:46 |
| uberTaco | chriswere: mmkay, that happens sometimes. Ctrl-S sends a character that stops output in the terminal -- a holdover from old TTY days | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: what rating does it get? | 22:46 |
| ghassani | hmm, I am shutting down with sudo shutdown -h 0 | 22:46 |
| ghassani | should I be doing it another way? | 22:46 |
| uberTaco | TJ-: thanks, will do | 22:46 |
| Kii | platinium | 22:47 |
| d00durk00l | I am runnig a sftp server and have a friend downloading a file through it... How can I check on my side what the % the download is at... There has to be a way to monitor what is taking place on the server...? | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ghassani: sounds fine, you can also use: sudo shutdown -h now | 22:47 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: well you can say what you like but I'm finding far too many bugs doing simple things in Ubuntu. I'm surprised it's even made release, the about of time and money it's cost me | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: great :), read down and it will give a howto guide to getting it working | 22:47 |
| TJ- | ghassani: No, if the PC correctly shuts down that should be setting the simpleboot flag correctly. It is possible that GRUB's default settings have been changed I guess, or that it can't load its own saved environment (I've seen that recently!) | 22:47 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: downloading from your server or to it | 22:47 |
| === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| d00durk00l | genewitch: Sorry what? | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: I can name some dumb bugs in Windows which exist, one is as old as the hills | 22:48 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: is your friend downloading ON TO your server, of ON TO his computer FROM your server. | 22:48 |
| d00durk00l | My friend is downloading a file from my server correct... i want to know what the % its at? | 22:48 |
| ghassani | let me try to shutdown from the server itself rather then from SSH see if that makes any difference. I did notice if I just do a simple reboot it does auto load the OS | 22:48 |
| d00durk00l | he is downloading not uploading | 22:48 |
| d00durk00l | from my server | 22:48 |
| Robinux | hi TJ-, should this work with 12.04 ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 | 22:48 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: what's he downloading it from, apache? ftp? NFS? samba? | 22:48 |
| d00durk00l | sftp | 22:48 |
| mg2013 | Its not that fast..kinda laggy.. is there any way to havfe it faster? | 22:49 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: check the documentation for your stfpd | 22:49 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: not saying Windows isn't buggy, but setting up dual monitors took me less than 10 minutes. I had to take a day off work to do it in Linux and I'm still no closer. | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: what isn't taht fast? | 22:49 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: really? | 22:49 |
| mg2013 | the vino remote desktop stuff | 22:49 |
| d00durk00l | :P | 22:49 |
| d00durk00l | I was hoping someone knew off hand | 22:49 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: i do know off hand | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: i've setup dual screens but I always buy nvidai, there is a handy app to configure it easily | 22:49 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: Ahhh come on | 22:50 |
| genewitch | it's not an ubuntu issue, d00durk00l, it's an sftp issue. read the docs | 22:50 |
| Robinux | Hi, should this work with 12.04 ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 | 22:50 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: I've got 2 nvidia cards, what's the app? | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: what do you do on the remote desktop once you connect? | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: nvidia-settings | 22:50 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: watch -n 1 'ifconfig |grep TX' | 22:50 |
| mg2013 | use it..lol move windows around and stuff.. | 22:50 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: You rock!! thx :) | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: yes but to achieve what? | 22:50 |
| genewitch | that just shows you bits moving, not a % | 22:50 |
| genewitch | d00durk00l: ^ | 22:50 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: That's what I've been using. Why can't I get gnome 3d to work then? | 22:51 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: Is there a way to see percentage? | 22:51 |
| mg2013 | I don't know I tinker around with stuff.. | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: what nvidia chip are you using? | 22:51 |
| usr13 | chriswere: I was about to say the same thing as ActionParsnip. Linux users learn early on to shop wisely. Buying the right hardware makes things much easer. | 22:51 |
| coredestruction | using bash to move some rename some mp3 files using id3info. what would be the best way to replace a / in a variable? | 22:51 |
| draxxxus | reverse | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: like what, can you at least try to be specific please | 22:51 |
| Kii | ActionParsnip: thank you very much, i'm right now installing my game :) | 22:51 |
| usr13 | chriswere: You have an Nvidia display adapter? | 22:51 |
| mg2013 | Move files, open up Nautilus and stuff... | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Kii: coolio | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | coredestruction: / isn't a valid filename character? | 22:51 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: GTX550TI and I can't remember the 2nd (also nvidia) I can't use a console to lspci because it's bugged | 22:52 |
| Kii | see you ! | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: you can do that with SFTP, you don't need the desktop for that | 22:52 |
| mg2013 | I know I can do it with FTP or SSH but I like to have a gui | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: what driver version does nvidia-settings say you are using? | 22:52 |
| jgcampbell300 | I am looking for a version of linux to do nothing but view my security camras ... they have there own dvr and are viewed right now throu http:// in browser ... anyone know of a good sys to install | 22:52 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: the one's from jockey-gtk | 22:52 |
| black_joe | jgcampbell300: Something lightweight like tinycore or puppy may do for that. | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mg2013: install openssh-server and you can move your files round a lot quicker via SFTP from your client PC | 22:53 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: But doesn't that just show my transmission of all connections not just the sftp server? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: what version does it say? | 22:53 |
| lucian_ | hi how can i get aircrack ? | 22:53 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: i doesn't say how do i find out? | 22:54 |
| coredestruction | zykotick9, i am using mv to rename the files - mv $1 "ARTIST - $ALBUM - $TRACKNUM - $TITLE.mp3" However, artists like AC/DC or track numbering like 6/12 causes mv to fail saying - naturally - the directory doesnt exist | 22:54 |
| lucian_ | on the default reposi.. i can't find them | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: when you first run the app, read the window in front of you | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | coredestruction: ahh. sorry, i have no idea. but you can't use / in filename, as you've discovered. | 22:54 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: It shows the how many gb have been sent so really it is a percent..... | 22:54 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: 295.40 | 22:54 |
| coredestruction | indeed. I knew AC/DC would be an issue, but the track numbering is a bigger problem. | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | coredestruction: AC/DC rocks BTW </OT> | 22:55 |
| TJ- | d00durk00l: I think I've found out how you can check... using /proc/$PID/fdinfo/ | 22:55 |
| uberTaco | coredestruction: might be time to bring out something more heavy-duty than bash | 22:55 |
| lucian_ | hello can anyone help me get aircrack the easy way | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: could try the xorg updates ppa (less fresh more stable) your 550 will benefit from the later driver | 22:55 |
| d00durk00l | genewitch: Or at least gives me a good idea of where the transmission is at ... unless i am using u/l | 22:55 |
| lucian_ | terminal package | 22:55 |
| d00durk00l | TJ kk lemme check that thanks :) | 22:56 |
| coredestruction | uberTaco, do I have to? :P | 22:56 |
| jgcampbell300 | black_joe: i was thinking the same ... thanks ... do you know if tinycore comes with a browser | 22:56 |
| uberTaco | coredestruction: alternatively, pipe it through sed and replace "/" with "\/" | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !find aircrack | 22:56 |
| dwarder | zykotick9: Alternating Current/Direct Current ? | 22:56 |
| ubottu | Package/file aircrack does not exist in precise | 22:56 |
| coredestruction | zykotick9, agreed. | 22:56 |
| L3top | coredestruction: you are going to have to run this through sed I believe. something to the effect of sed 's/\/\\/g' | 22:56 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: Why do you think this will help, every time you guys have asked me to install PPA it's almost always broken my install. | 22:56 |
| zykotick9 | dwarder: ya AC current rocks as well ;) | 22:56 |
| lucian_ | i know i can't find it but a rep source | 22:56 |
| cyberpork | hello! | 22:56 |
| lucian_ | :( | 22:56 |
| L3top | uberTaco beat me to it | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !info aircrack-ng | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Package aircrack-ng does not exist in precise | 22:57 |
| TJ- | d00durk00l: If you know the process ID (ssh I assume) you first find the file-descriptor number for the file using "ls -l /proc/$PID/fd/", then do "cat /proc/$PID/fdinfo/$FD" it will report "pos: and flags:" I *think* "pos:" is the currentl position of the seek in the file | 22:57 |
| tortib | Hello everyone | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: you have a fairly new nvidia chip and the driver is quite old, the newer driver will help | 22:57 |
| cyberpork | anyone can help me? my apt crash when it tries to install or upgrade /linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic | 22:57 |

| coredestruction | L3top, would I for example be able to use echo $ARTIST ¦ sed 's/\/\\/g' ? | 22:58 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: and how do i do this with a broken terminal emulator? | 22:59 |
| cyberpork | blackshirt, it says there is a problem | 22:59 |
| coredestruction | no, that would do sod all as it wouldnt write it to the variable | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: open another one | 22:59 |
| L3top | no.... I would need to see the whole thing to show you how to pipe it | 22:59 |
| kefir | anyone else getting partial upgrade warnings? I've had one for almost a week now, it won't go away | 22:59 |
| zykotick9 | cyberpork: what version of ubuntu are you using "lsb_release -a" if unsure. you should be seeing 3.2.0.30.32 if on current? | 22:59 |
| cyberpork | blackshirt, i put the error in a pastebin and i link to you | 22:59 |
| L3top | coredestruction: ^ | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswere: or save the command in a text file and treat it as a script file ni CTRL+ALT+F1 | 22:59 |
| cyberpork | blackshirt, i use 12.04 precise | 22:59 |
| TJ- | coredestruction: I usually encode 'illegal' characters the same way HTML Entities are encoded in URLs, so %2F is / | 23:00 |
| blackshirt | cyberpork, you should more detail i think...that just a problem, many posibilities | 23:00 |
| cyberpork | blackshirt, it's a ditro upgrade from the 10.04 studio | 23:00 |

| TJ- | tortib: The problem is there in the log "local='dev-type tun', remote='dev-type tap'" In other words, locally you're telling openvpn to TUNnel (level 3 - IP protocol) but on the remote device you're telling it to TAP (level 2 - Ethernet) | 23:10 |
| tortib | any idea how i can tell openvpn on android to use tun? | 23:10 |
| Robinux | i can't believe I did that | 23:10 |
| usr13 | Robinux: If you want to share the internet connection, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 23:10 |
| usr13 | bkc_: Why not? | 23:10 |
| tortib | TJ-: under help on the openvpn client it says tun in kernel or tun.ko | 23:11 |
| tortib | on android | 23:11 |
| tortib | so it should be using tun | 23:11 |
| Robinux | I AM following that usr13 bro... its just I did a dumb command line newbie mistake ... lol | 23:11 |

| bkc_ | gordonjcp: man ip | 23:14 |
| gordonjcp | bkc_: I've never been able to get "ip" to work | 23:14 |
| gordonjcp | the syntax is insane | 23:14 |
| TJ- | tortib: from that pastebin log you also need to match the MTUs | 23:14 |
| bkc_ | gordonjcp: the syntax is better/easier than ifconfig... it also embeds route :) | 23:15 |
| gordonjcp | bkc_: the syntax makes no sense at all | 23:15 |
| cyberpork | anyone can help me with this apt error?? http://pastebin.com/0Cwyf0fF | 23:15 |

| blackshirt | cyberpork, can you show the most importan error here? | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | bkc_: apparently "ip" mucking up the routing table is desired behaviour | 23:16 |
| bkc_ | gordonjcp: as I said, it embeds route... which is a good thing :) | 23:16 |
| tortib | TJ-: man openvpn gives all the arguments for the command line not for the server.conf | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | bkc_: no, it's an extremely bad thing | 23:16 |
| tortib | i want the server.conf options | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | it *always* does the wrong thing | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | bkc_: routing has nothing to do with interface management | 23:16 |
| tortib | TJ-: or can i just drop the -- and add the option to the server.conf ? | 23:17 |
| bkc_ | gordonjcp: no? I never have to mess around with routing... and my network is pretty big and messy... | 23:17 |
| TJ- | tortib: "OPTIONS OpenVPN allows any option to be placed either on the command line or in a configuration file. Though all command line options are preceded by a double-leading-dash ("--"), this prefix can be removed when an option is placed in a configuration file." | 23:17 |

| gtech | tortib: I found /usr/share/X11/XErrorDB through the manpage | 23:31 |

| Dr_willis | brightsparks, You SHOULD be using the addational-drivers tool (gksudo jockey-gtk) first.. befor you try to use the .run package. | 23:32 |
| Robinux | does NAT require dnsmasq? | 23:32 |
| TJ- | tortib: Is the link UDP or TCP? | 23:32 |
| draxxxus | be care ful of the echelon | 23:32 |
| tortib | UDP | 23:32 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: i agree with Dr_willis's statment. using the nvidia.com drive on ubuntu, is a poor choice. (could, but probably isn't, required though). | 23:33 |
| gtech | tortib: is each successive log a different invocation of X? | 23:34 |
| blahdyblahblah | do not use the driver from nvidias website. | 23:34 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: I usually can manage to install the nvidia card by shutting down gdm and switching to a terminal. Running the package it automatically removes the nouveau or whatever and successfully installs. | 23:34 |
| tortib | gtech: logrotate will backup older logs | 23:34 |
| tortib | and gzip them | 23:34 |
| tortib | so if you see more than one that's why | 23:34 |
| tortib | the most recent one wont have a .gz extension usually | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | brightsparks, y You have been doing it wrongly.. even if it works.. try the ones in the repository FIRST. | 23:35 |
| draxxxus | thank you all for the info **()# | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | Using the jockey-gtk i get the nvidia drivers going in about 60 sec.. and 4 clicks... | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | no need to get the .run package from nvidia, no need to mess with other stuff. | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_willis: additionally, you don't contiminate you install using the .run - and you get updates! | 23:36 |
| tortib | TJ-: is there an openvpn client for windows? | 23:36 |
| [twisti] | i am running ubuntu 12 as a persistent live cd, is there an easy way to completely shut down all this X crap and leave only text mode ? | 23:36 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: I must be using those at the moment. I have limited screen resolutions available. That's mainly why I want to install the nvidia card driver | 23:36 |
| cyberpork | bye bye and W UBUNTU | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | brightsparks, run the nvidia-setting tool and see what driver you are using.. | 23:36 |
| draxxxus | quit | 23:36 |
| draxxxus | qiuit it | 23:36 |
| TJ- | tortib: I have no idea! | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | brightsparks, the ones in the repos are the same as what you would get with the .run drivers. tehy may be a little older version. but the main thing is 'they are supported here' | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | and they will update like any other packages. | 23:37 |
| battlehands | I just installed lubuntu, and I'm wondering which directory I should install matlab to | 23:37 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: lspci? | 23:37 |
| [twisti] | or am i going to have to hunt down all the various X and unity packages and uninstall them one by one ? | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | battlehands, most likely anywhere in the users home. | 23:37 |
| TJ- | [twisti]: Add "text" to the kernel command line(s) via GRUB's /etc/default/grub file and then "update-grub" | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | !text | [twisti] | 23:37 |
| ubottu | [twisti]: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:37 |
| [twisti] | awesome, thank you guys | 23:38 |
| zykotick9 | battlehands: use /opt to install out-of-repo packages that you want multiple users to access. use ~ if it's just you. | 23:38 |
| tortib | TJ-: it seems that everyone uses TAP for their tunnels i thought TUN was better? | 23:38 |

| zykotick9 | tortib: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUN/TAP tap-tun seem like that same thing to me, different layers perhaps. | 23:40 |
| TJ- | tortib: TAP is level 2, TUN is level 3 | 23:40 |

| tortib | i heard TAP has some problems with TCP connections | 23:40 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: all running nvidia-settings tells me is that I don't appear to have the nvidia driver installed and that I need to edit my xconfigeration file | 23:40 |

| zykotick9 | tortib: i have a tap0 for my kvm VMs... good luck. | 23:41 |

| sambagirl | if i remove the branding-ubuntu will that remove the ubuntu artwork? | 23:42 |
| tortib | zykotick9: why good luck? | 23:42 |
| TJ- | [twisti]: You can edit the linux command line from the initial boot menu of the liveCD, with I think the F6 Advanced key/menu | 23:42 |
| [twisti] | ill try that, ill have to walk over to it, bbiab | 23:43 |
| Robinux | how do I restart iptables to load the new settings? | 23:44 |
| TJ- | Robinux: You don't as such. iptables is just a program that injects rules into the kerne's netfilters tables... what you can do is clear all rules and reload a predefined set | 23:45 |
| zykotick9 | tortib: "why good luck?" 'cause i don't use N-M, so i have zero idea how it works in ubuntu these days. so, "good luck" ;) | 23:45 |

| [twisti] | TJ-: no joy. i get to the screen under point 6 here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode which shows just what that shows when i press F6. 'text' is not one of the options as you can see, and it doesnt let me manually enter anything | 23:49 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: when I run the nvidia installation program it tells me that the driver I want to install is already install and do I want to replace it with the one I am attempting to install( the same driver). Normally reinstalling it gives me full nvidia resolution options etc. | 23:49 |
| h22turbo | Robinux: iptables -F will flush all rules and start over everything | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | battlehands: i imagine it already exists "ls -l /lib64/libc.so.6" to confirm. | 23:50 |
| Dr_willis | brightsparks, sounds like you are using the .run drivers allready.. and basically they are not supported here.. you have been ignoreing everyones advice. | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | battlehands: this sort of linking is a bad idea generally. seldom works as well. | 23:50 |
| tornado__ | When is the next LTS version after 12.04 going to be released? What may be the new features? | 23:51 |

| kostkon | tornado__, in 1.5 years time | 23:51 |
| TJ- | [twisti]: Yes it does... I think you press escape to lose that menu then you can directly edit/type to the kernel's command-line that is displayed at the bottom of the screen | 23:52 |
| TJ- | [twisti]: The line that starts: "Boot options" | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | tornado__: sorry, see above | 23:52 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: only ignoring in so far as I am not familiar with the advice you are giving me (not familiar with gksudo jockey-gtk). Anyway I'm pasting it into terminal now. But I don't want to mess up the system by trying the unfamilair if my usual run method works. | 23:52 |

| Dr_willis | brightsparks, and how long have you been using the .run method? jockey-gtk has been the preffered method for extra drivers since.. well.. several releases backk. | 23:54 |
| Dr_willis | the .run method is definatly NOT advised. | 23:54 |
| tornado__ | You all just answered my very first IRC question...I'm a newbie-nube | 23:55 |
| * zykotick9 thinks using nvidia's .run installer is supported in #nvidia channel on freenode... | 23:55 | |
| galups2000 | as | 23:55 |
| chriswere | so no-one helping me again? | 23:55 |
| phunyguy | !patience | chriswere | 23:56 |
| ubottu | chriswere: 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 |
| TJ- | chriswere: Is it dual monitors on dual GPUs, or dual monitors on a single GPU? | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | with my nvidia card systems. dual monitors takes me about 2 min.. and a reboot.. | 23:56 |
| chriswere | TJ- dual monitors on two different gpus | 23:57 |
| [twisti] | TJ-: now i feel stupid, that worked, thank you | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | thats including the nvidia drivers.. | 23:57 |
| brightsparks | Dr_willis: well I just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 today from ubuntu 11.10-where the run method worked just fine for me. Anyway I have done what you suggested and installed the driver or activated it using gksudo jockey-gtk. If I'm not happy with it I'll still try my "run" method. But thanks for your help anyway. But I still don't know how to install the linux sources which was my original question. | 23:57 |
| TJ- | [twisti]: no worries, it isn't obviously until you've done it once! | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | brightsparks, you dont need to.. and the .run method can cause problems in the long run.. do not use it as your first attempt.. | 23:58 |
| nannes | How to change GDM background image ? | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | !wfm | brightsparks | 23:58 |
| ubottu | brightsparks: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 23:58 |
| nannes | Ubuntu Precise 12.04.1 | 23:58 |
| phunyguy | nannes, is lightdm not the desktop manager vs GDM? | 23:58 |
| * Dr_willis wonders how you installed the drivers befor.. withhout knowing how to install the sources.. actually you just need the kernel headers as far as i know. | 23:58 | |
| nannes | phunyguy: No, I have gnome-shell, and I have GDM with it | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | Login manager = Lightdm, or KDM, GDM, or others.. | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: lightdm is the new default, gdm is available though if you desire (or any other for that matter) | 23:59 |
| phunyguy | nannes that is unsupported | 23:59 |
| nannes | -.- | 23:59 |
| nannes | are you kidding? | 23:59 |
| nannes | it's in the repos | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | find the image its using.. and edit it. :) or edit the gdm.conf file perhaps. | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy: how is it not supported? | 23:59 |
| chriswere | ActionParsnip: I've installed the PPA like you said, it did nothing | 23:59 |
| uberTaco | nannes: old post, but I found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/change-gdm-theme-background-in-ubuntu.html | 23:59 |
| nannes | uberTaco: You said it, old post. | 23:59 |
