[00:00] chriswere: does nvidia-settings say you are using the later driver? [00:00] Ok off to reboot. Thanks G'night. [00:00] nannes: haven't tried it -- I'm in a KDE universe -- so YMMV [00:00] I have a stupid question... I put together a desktop and I think I put the power and hd led's with incorrect + and -... can that blow the led's? [00:00] ActionParsnip, it is a best-effort scenario, but officially not supported (AFAIK) [00:00] ActionParsnip: Yes [00:00] d00durk00l: its the same type of LED so I wouldn't worry. Suprised ou even attached those [00:00] my impression is, if it's not ubuntu standard - then its not supported [00:00] d00durk00l, you mean the led conectors to the MB? 2 wires? [00:01] chriswere: great, setup the display [00:01] phunyguy: I think he means he switched pos and neg/ground wires [00:01] it is community supported, but not ubuntu-supported [00:01] ActionParsnip: dnoe [00:01] phunyguy: if the package is in the repos, its supported. [00:01] yup motherboard led's [00:01] phunyguy: its in the repos, its supported [00:01] phunyguy, I think you missunderstand. [00:01] possibly. [00:01] thanks [00:01] phunyguy: the OS is flexible as users have choice [00:01] sorry case led's attach to the motherboard [00:01] I must have been told different === coinandable is now known as romy420 [00:01] my mistake [00:02] ActionParsnip: What you mean same type of led's? [00:02] phunyguy: its cool [00:02] nannes: Are you wanting to change the background image on the login screen? Or desktop background? [00:02] usr13: on the login screen :) [00:02] ActionParsnip: Gnome 3d is still no-wehere to be found [00:02] nannes: there should be alot of howtos from the days were gdm was the standard. did you try these? [00:02] d00durk00l: look at the LEDs, they will be the same, so one flashing instead of another doesn't matter [00:02] nannes: Oh, ok. [00:02] nannes: dconf-editor [00:02] k1l_: they're all old, didn't try [00:02] chriswere: you may need an xorg.conf and go old school [00:03] nannes: old doesnt mean that the dont work [00:03] ActionParsnip: No my question is that I attached them + to the - and the negative to the positive on both ... Just wondering if that could have burned them out [00:03] nannes: there hardly wont be new, because lightdm is standard now [00:03] chriswere: With 2 GPUs X can't do opengl acceleration across a shared desktop since the GPUs memories are separate. Also, it has problems with 2 GPUs unless you run separate X sessions on them [00:03] ActionParsnip: I'm not doing that, every single time you guys have told me to do that, you've caused me to break X. [00:03] They are not working but I am wondering if that is the prob or they cable harness has issues [00:03] TJ- Okay, what about on a shared GPU? [00:04] chriswere: With a single GPU, multi-monitors will work 'out of the box' for most popular GPUs [00:04] TJ-: isn't there a way to take advantage of multip gpu's to use for password cracking and the such? [00:04] k1l_: LightDM too is a bull**** ... Or better, ubuntu version sucks cause it's not configurable! I don't know why devs put the hands where they shouldn't. Linux must be free and totally customizable , and ubuntu's lightdm isn't that waY!!! [00:04] chriswere: thats all I can suggest [00:04] TJ-: Okay thanks for that advice. Do you know where I could find a good guide on how to get 2 seperate x sessions working on 2 different GPUs? [00:05] d00durk00l: It'd be easier to just tickle it out of the owner! [00:05] nannes: that is way offtopic. [00:05] chriswere: Are the GPUs from the same maker? [00:05] TJ- yeah both nvidia [00:05] nannes: tried ubuntu-tweak and you can configure lightdm easily [00:05] chriswere: With the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed, the "Nvidia X Settings" application should make configuring them straightforward for you [00:06] nannes: have you tried that? [00:06] nannes: Try xfce [00:06] nannes: but you are telling me, that you demand newest howtos for not-standard software? i dont see your problem here [00:06] TJ-: So it is difficult? [00:06] ActionParsnip: I cannot even do a simple thing such moving userbox to the center. Even with ubuntu-tweak [00:06] d00durk00l: is what difficult? [00:06] nannes: then use a different DM, you don'y have to use lightdm [00:06] TJ-: I was actually going to try to set it up on ubuntu server .... do you have any experience with it? [00:06] TJ-: Yeah I know this, trust me I've been working on this all day. I'm down a whole days pay because of this. I havn't had much luck working out how to get 2 sessions working without xinelerra though [00:07] ActionParsnip: indeed, I was asking for help with GDM! :P? [00:07] :P [00:07] nannes: no [00:07] TJ-: Setting up 2 gpu's for password cracking [00:07] nannes: then you can ask in #gnome or see what there is online [00:07] nannes: you were demanding brand new how tos for gdm :/ [00:07] ActionParsnip: he was given some howto, but declined because "its old" [00:07] chriswere: I've been running multi monitors on Nvidia since 2005 ... there's some glitches on occasion in development but I've not had too many issues with configuring them [00:07] nannes: what is it you actually want to achieve? [00:07] k1l_: Those howtos were written in the Lucid period lol [00:07] ActionParsnip: Is there an easy way do undo the PPA crap you asked me to do, I can't get my old resalution back? [00:08] when I attempt to run: sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so /lib64/libc.so.6 on my netbook it says "failed to create symbolic link" [00:08] nannes: Already told you. All that stuff is controlled with dconf, gsettings, etc.. This should give you an idea maybe: http://smashingweb.info/change-the-background-of-gnome-3-gdm-login-screen/ [00:08] nannes: and where is the problem? [00:08] ActionParsnip: move whatever I want wherever I want [00:08] nannes: doenst it work anymore? [00:08] total customization [00:08] TJ-: Using open-cl [00:08] chriswere: install ppa-purge and use the same PPA address as you added [00:08] nannes: so, move the login box? [00:08] yes, too [00:08] Dr_willis: well that seemed to work very. And thank you I will be using that method to install the nvidia driver in future. THanks v much. [00:08] d00durk00l: Why would you do that? If the passwords are complex even GPU acceleration isn't going to help.. except for warming up the server [00:08] nannes: Just use the tools that come with gnome3. All the third party apps pretty much just interface with thoise anyways [00:08] nannes: then why didn't you say that....? [00:09] TJ- everyone says that, why am I finding just about every bug ubuntu has to offer? [00:09] ActionParsnip: I already said that. Or better, I said that's not possible cause I've already searched for it [00:09] nannes: the old howtos arent outdated. so go with that [00:09] TJ-: Well most are not complex enough to heat up a server [00:09] (talking about lightdm) [00:09] chriswere: maybe you're blessed :p ... still, it's nice to hear that someone's taken over my role :p [00:09] nannes: i don't get why you are making a deal about this, its on the screen for about 4 seconds.... === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest67748 [00:10] ActionParsnip: Mine only lasts about 2 [00:10] TJ-: How do I work 2 X sessions without xinelerra? [00:10] ActionParsnip: +1 [00:10] ActionParsnip: I like a short fuse. [00:10] ActionParsnip: If we all think that way, we would leave DesktopEnvironments as they already are. NO, instead we customize them as we want. And lightdm allows that, but I don't really know why ubuntu locks it [00:10] nannes: dude, I think a lot of people have already given you what you're looking for [00:10] nannes: its something massively trivial, have yuo nothing better to do? [00:10] !ot | nannes [00:10] nannes: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:11] before you say "too old, doesn't work", try it out first to see if it does or does not work [00:11] ActionParsnip: Read again what I wrote [00:11] * nannes is trying [00:11] anyone compiling wine from git, with ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit ?, im having "conflicts" with multiarch libfreetype6-dev libfreetype6-dev:i386, http://pastebin.com/e804BiR6 [00:12] nannes: have you asked in #gnome ? [00:12] zoktar: Some library packages havent been completed separate as yet, I'm afraid [00:12] zoktar: may want to ask #winehq [00:12] if you're savvy enough to have replaced lightdm with gdm, you are likely savvy enough to know that the same version of software doesn't change itself. :) [00:13] yeah thanks [00:14] nannes: ubuntu is about "not-customizing"... now anyways. it was #1 on distro-watch when it was a user friendly debian. now it's #3 with it's "developer's know best" attitude... hummm? [00:14] uberTaco: Ye, I was just a bit confused, cause I'd prefer lightDM, if ubuntu just weren't locking it [00:15] zykotick9: I'd say that's not strictly true [00:15] zykotick9: You may be blaming a lot of GNOME3 on ubuntu, which is not terribly fair. :) [00:15] zykotick9: ahahah I don't have intention to start this such talks. Ubuntu has its merits, noone says the contrary, but let's face things as they are. [00:15] uberTaco: agreed. gnome3 is guilty of same things. [00:15] ubuntu sucks, it just sucks slightly less than windows [00:15] nannes: you should face the howtos, tbh [00:16] k1l_: I'm doing it :P [00:16] chriswere: so why hang around? :P [00:16] if i have a system with ubuntu installed, password protected, how can i get it to boot from disk ? [00:16] zykotick9: uberTaco #ubuntu-offtopic / #ubuntu-discuss ? [00:16] chriswere: explore! Try some other distros! There're Fedora and Debian and others. [00:16] SlvrS3: which disk? [00:16] k1l_: sorry, I'll refocus. :) [00:16] k1l_: I just throw many of them out because they were talking about .conf files that don't even exist [00:17] uberTaco: like i said sucks slightly less than windows. I've been here all day trying to find a simple fix and you guys have done nothing but make it all worse, admittedly with good intentions. [00:17] ActionParsnip, i want to format the HD and reinstall win XP pro [00:17] xp pro disk [00:17] SlvrS3: that's gonna be a setting in your BIOS [00:18] SlvrS3: how you access your BIOS depends on your machine, but the one thing that's pretty consistent is that you have to reboot the computer to get into the BIOS. [00:18] My gnome install now wants to create a new set of panels as well as the existing ones every time I log in. Why is this? [00:18] nannes: if there were no .conf files just make them. [00:19] k1l_: No, I bet they're just anywhere else. Cause ubuntu also change configuration-file's names ;) [00:19] lol [00:19] nannes: alot of stuff gets automatic configuration and doesnt need .conf files as long as the user doesnt want to change smth [00:19] SlvrS3: then ask in ##windows [00:19] hola [00:19] I think so because they say to uncomment/modify a line, k1l_ [00:19] SlvrS3: The install CD can delete the Ubuntu partitions [00:19] venezuela [00:19] a line of a not-existent file [00:20] hola [00:20] !es [00:20] 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. [00:20] sorry about that guys, ubuntu crashed, were one of you guys going to help me? [00:20] SlvrS3: password protecion on bios state is not a ubuntu issue [00:20] it would be easier to just remove the HD, and format it through my main tower ?, ActionParsnip [00:20] If I just find the image, I replace it :/ [00:21] SlvrS3: why bother, the XP CD can sort out the partitioning [00:21] chriswere: I've seen that with non-Xinerama dual-head (Zaphod mode) multi-monitor configurations. [00:22] jhansonxi: how does one fix this? [00:22] SlvrS3: nah, probably not -- I'd google your laptop make and model and "BIOS" or "boot from CD" [00:23] uberTaco, its a dell tower [00:23] but i will [00:23] Hi [00:24] chriswere: I didn't find a solution. I'm using gnome-fallback in normal xinerama mode (Ubuntu 12.04) but am planning to use XFCE since it works in zaphod mode. [00:24] hi [00:24] SlvrS3: look into the manuals what to press to get a boot selection. [00:25] can i boot a mac from a live usb pen? [00:25] jhansonxi: as if i needed another reason why linux is more diffuclt than it needs to be. Would you also recomend switching to xfce? I'm not sure how to use a zaphod set up, are there any guides? [00:26] usb pen being ubuntu [00:26] chriswere: XFCE seems better than gnome-fallback (which is old Gnome 2 updated for GTK3). [00:27] jhansonxi: i've found a lot of bugs in xfce [00:27] hello! i have a recomendation [00:27] I'm happy with fallback, didnt ike xfce [00:27] like* [00:28] question can i use ubuntu one on mac from a live disk? [00:28] jhansonxi: how do I get a window on screen 2 in Zaphos mode? [00:28] chriswere: KDE is quite a different animal from GNOME and XFCE, but it does work better (in my experience) with multiple monitors [00:28] chriswere: With my AMD card and the buggy fglrx driver (random "ASIC hang happened" lockups with X.org), the Catalyst Control Center calls it "Multi-display desktop" [00:28] chriswere: might be worth a shot -- easiest way is to grab a Kubuntu live disc [00:28] I'm tired of Lubuntu, and i have to try with Xubuntu, but i have to know what version is stable and free from erros [00:28] *errors [00:29] chriswere: When Zaphod mode is actually working (XFCE), you configure a second set of panels on the other display along with an applications menu. Apps can't be dragged from one screen to the next but the clipboard still works. [00:29] uberTaco, when i enter bios, it wants me to enter password [00:30] that bios passworded [00:30] mrojas6996: just install 12.04 LTS (from live CD... not DVD) and use gnome fallback [00:30] will ubuntu one work from a live disk??? [00:30] blackshirt, way around ? [00:30] chriswere: I use Zaphod mode because full-screen games can't take over both displays. I can still monitor my browser/email/IM on the other display. Works well with Wine. [00:30] SlvrS3: contact dell. that is not a ubuntu problem [00:30] Thanks h22turbo! [00:31] xjhansonxi: stupid question, how do i create a panel in gnome fallback? [00:31] slvrs3, i think you have setup a password for your password [00:31] I mean for your bios [00:31] SlvrS3: u can clear the bios password... search around, its easy. usually a jumper on motherboard will clear it [00:32] someone mentioned jumpers h22turbo, was unable to locate on the sys board [00:33] SlvrS3: im sure a google search of Dell (your model #) clear BIOS password will tell you how [00:33] chriswere: [00:34] which version of unity is included in 12.04.1 ? [00:34] chriswere: (Gnome is all about being intuitive :D ) === tvc is now known as Guest98416 [00:35] jhanonxi: any ideas how I might move it to my 2nd screen, I can't work out a way to do that? [00:36] chriswere: I don't think it is possible in gnome-fallback (at least not with the version in Ubuntu 12.04), and gnome-fallback doesn't work properly with zaphod (non-xinerama) mode. All kinds of bad behavior happens. [00:37] jahnsonxi: okay, I'm gonna call it a night now it's 1:37 here in the UK. But I think I'll check out xubuntu in the morning. Thanks so much to you and all the other chaps for being far more patient with me than i deserved. [00:38] chriswere: You may have better luck with Xubuntu 12.04 or the Linux Mint XFCE version (Cinnamon, Gnome 3, Unity, and Gnome-fallback all have problems with zaphod mode). Or you could just use normal Xinerama mode with a wide desktop split across multiple monitors. [00:39] chriswere: UK here too dude :) [00:39] xinelerra has it's own problems, like not knowing what screen size to play full screen youtube videos at and so on [00:39] Ah! i have another question, ¿how is the work of Xubuntu with old printers of 1980-1996? [00:40] :) ActionParsnip thanks for your help and patience too. I'm too tired for this, lol === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [00:40] for example: Epson LX-810L with Centronics-to-USB adapter cable [00:41] mrojas6996: The desktop environment doesn't matter (Gnome, Unity, XFCE, KDE, etc.) All that matters is if CUPS supports it and the various driver packages are installed. [00:42] mrojas6996: The adapter needs to be supported by the Linux kernel. CUPS needs to support the printer. Tip: you can access CUPS on your system with a web browser by going to http://localhost:631 [00:43] jhansonxi: The fact is, the printer work so fine with test pages, but with libreoffice and text, the printer work terrible === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [00:44] jhansonxi: Unity isnt a desktop environment ;) [00:45] mrojas6996: Could be a bug in the driver or an incompatible setting in the applications you are printing from. === joseph is now known as new2ubuntu [00:46] hi all [00:46] mrojas6996: Check through the Ubuntu CUPS bug reports to see if anyone else encountered the problem with a similar printer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups?orderby=-id&start=0 === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [00:46] What is this default keyring that keeps asking for my password when I log in? anybody know?

[01:16] i need a command to show my name port [01:17] benq,exactly i don't know what you mean ... Your question bit a cryptic [01:17] benq: if it it is VNC, the port would be 5900 [01:17] benq: to see all open ports on your machine use: sudo netstat -plnt [01:17] ok thanks man [01:18] realy you are so friendly [01:18] benq: you're welcome, helping people is what we do here :) [01:19] So, this is probably quite far-fetched, but would it be possible to convert an Ubuntu install into one of its derivatives, like Mint, since they are so close? [01:20] Relondo: they aren't "close". no. [01:20] Mint sucks! [01:20] benq: add 'u' at the end of the command to show all udp ports as well, i think VNC uses UDP .. [01:20] Relondo: theoretically, it should be possible [01:21] Relondo: but it'd be waaaaaaay not worth the monumental amount of trouble [01:21] Relondo: easier to do a fresh install of the desired derivative [01:21] uberTaco: actually, mixing distros is insanity. but believe what you want. [01:21] Relondo: if that derivative supports it, or you're an expert in both repository layouts ... [01:21] ok [01:22] netstat -plntu [01:22] it is [01:23] benq: yes [01:23] can anyone suggest a good media-aggregating DLNA server / transcoding app for Ubuntu?

It is a RTL8188CE and it connects and works fine on initial boot of the system but after being connected a while the connect will drop and it acts like its connecting but asks for the password and [01:27] can't connect, even if its sitting right infront of the wireless router [01:28] andrewx: the thing that pops up when you press the win logo key or click the top left corner.. search in that for "startup" [01:28] the only fix so far is to reboot the computer [01:28] friend, my pc show a error in the desktop when on [01:28] have a HP multifunction connected parallel. when I print a test page tries to fax. [01:28] do you want help me [01:28] benq: what's the error? write the text or take a screenshot [01:29] !screenshot | benq [01:29] benq: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [01:29] ok [01:29] but i kill whit xkill [01:29] i need reboot my pc to show again [01:29] can someone help me with openvpn and android? I'm not able to connect from my android phone here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/ [01:29] one thing i have noticed is, if i do a lsmod it shows rtl8129ce driver but not rtl8188ce but if i do a lspci it shows rtl8188ce device [01:29] i think its loading the wrong driver maybe? [01:30] p7zip package, that's the package I need for filer-roller to work with 7zip formats. I don't understand how it just works. These packages aren't specifically for filer-roller are they? [01:30] ubertaco: Ah. Because I was just thinking it'd be a pain to switch to Mint and have to reinstall everything. [01:31] Cong, file-roller is a front end to the gui tools. You just install the proper binaries and it uses them [01:31] Cong: fileroller is just a gui program to the cli versions rar, p7 etc [01:31] !7zip [01:31] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [01:31] Cong: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [01:31] !info unp [01:31] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre7 (precise), package size 13 kB, installed size 124 kB [01:32] is my issue a common thing that i should just RTFM or do a search? [01:32] bluphenix316: pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network [01:32] W4sp: finally got sound working :D [01:32] Cong: install p7zip-full p7zip-rar p7zip and file roller can handle them [01:32] !paste | bluphenix316 [01:32] bluphenix316: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:32] so filer-roller opens a shell and does processing? [01:32] Cong, in the background yes.. thats how a great many apps work in linux.. thats why they are often called 'front ends' [01:33] Does anyone know about setting up a PHP test server on Lucid Ubuntu. I'm creating PHP scripts on a Mac and want to run them on my Linux box for testing instead of constantly uploading to remote server [01:33] file-roller calls the archiveer tool binaries with the right arguments [01:33] i want a tuto to mount extention shell gnome [01:33] can someone help me with openvpn and android? I'm not able to connect from my android phone here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/ [01:33] !lamp | iFlip [01:33] iFlip: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:33] I currently using Pinguy OS 12.04 in live mode. It won't recognize my Logitech wireless keyboard. Also it will not load the topbar, help? [01:33] I'm running LAMP [01:33] But I need to utilize phpmyAdmin [01:33] pinguy_, the PinGuy OS has its own support forums and channels. [01:33] I installed a .deb file using dpkg -i filename.deb [01:33] It's for a class [01:34] Now I want to remove it. How can I figure out what the package name is? [01:34] No one is there. [01:34] iFlip: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [01:34] Is the PHP built into Apache [01:34] Hi, I'm sending my laptop back to the company for a replacement. The screen is defective. I have ubuntu installed on it right now. Do you think they'll claim that voids my warranty? :l [01:34] Really it's that easy LOL [01:34] iflip, just install phpmyadmin [01:34] pinguy_, sounds like a good reason to use Ubuntu and not PinGuy. We cant support all the variants here. [01:34] iFlip: no, and please read the wiki page [01:34] violinappren: I pasted it, though it is connected now, this is such a hard issue to troubleshoot because it works for a while [01:34] Cong: also install unp for easy CLI extraction :) [01:34] bluphenix316: then give us the URL to your paste [01:35] wad: apt-get remove programname? [01:35] iflip, php and apache was a different things [01:35] Well, is you can help me dual-monitor on Ubuntu 12.04 I will use it. [01:35] When I want to test a PHP script, do I just drop it into the root of the Apache folder [01:35] paste.ubuntu.com/1210138 [01:35] I'm giving URLs to my paste but nobody seems ot be helping me [01:35] iFlip: read the page before asking further questions [01:35] tortib: be patient, mate sometimes the issues take time [01:35] i doubt i'm the only one that has attempted to setup android to connect to a openvpn server [01:35] Iflip, commonly yes [01:35] k1l_, that would be great if I knew what the program name was... is there a way to determine this from the .deb file? [01:35] I've been reading, watching YouTube DIY - I can't seem to bridge the gap of understanding this one [01:35] HP LaserJet 3100 is multifunction printer connected parallel port to 12.04LTS. OS sees machine but cannot distinguish print from fax. Got latest HPLIP but will not check parallel port , only USB for device. [01:35] wad: you dont know, what you installed? o_O [01:35] tortib, theres also the #android channel [01:36] wad, use dpkg -S /some/path [01:36] Dr_willis: i'll try there thanks [01:36] blackshirt, thanks. [01:37] k1l_, I followed the instructions on installing something, and it had me run a script that installed a bunch of .deb files. But it failed. Now I'm trying to clean up the system. [01:37] I guess that wont work anyway, I'm running a WebDAV on my Apache server [01:37] iflip, i don't see any prooblem with yours [01:37] wad: ah, ok [01:37] violinappren: i can see it in my own post, the driver it is using is rtl8192ce, but its a rtl8188ce device, that is really strange [01:37] bluphenix316: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95360/how-to-get-a-stable-wlan-connection-with-a-lenovo-x121e [01:38] blackshirt can I run a WebDAV and a PHP test server simul === calcmandan_ is now known as calcmandan [01:38] iflip, yes [01:38] Is there no way to determine what a package name is from a .deb file? [01:38] violinappren: thank you muchly for the help [01:38] hopefully it will work [01:39] I've looked in the file, it's not ASCII that I can see. [01:39] wad: it usually matches the deb file name in most cases [01:39] I can install it, and that will tell me what it is. [01:39] I have setup some subversion service through apache [01:39] ActionParsnip, I tried that. It doesn't in this case. :( [01:39] Any ideas why I get no sound from Amorok while music is playing, but if I play the same file with VLC it works fine? (and browsers, xbmc etc all have sound) [01:39] wad, what you mean exactly? [01:39] Maybe there's some way to reverse engineer .deb files. [01:39] wad: try reading the last few lines in /var/log/dpkg.log [01:39] iFlip: you have been reading and you cant tell whether php is built in apache or not? i dont think so .. [01:39] Ah, okay.... the log files, duh. [01:40] bluphenix316: you're welcome and good luck [01:40] How do I tell what version the software I'm going to get is with apt-get? [01:40] Wad, .deb files is a just like other tarred files [01:40] hi. i need a bash script that will run a command something like this. can anyone help me? ./foo /location lineXfromfile where it runs foo, with each line from the file one by one [01:40] blackshirt, ah, so if I untar it, there will be a file in there somewhere with the name of the package? [01:40] wad: dpkg-deb -I filename.deb; helpful too [01:40] eamon: use "apt-cache" for that [01:40] violinappren Well, I've read some people just say install an Apache Server [01:40] I've got like 20 of the darn things to go through. [01:40] L1: perhaps something to do with the selected sound engine in amarok settings [01:41] violinappren then other says install XAMPP, or WAMP, or MAMP [01:41] wad, you can unpack iit with dpkg [01:41] trism, that's it! Thanks! [01:41] violinappren: It says it is using Phonon, does that sound right? [01:41] iflip, what are you tring to do ? And what confusing you? [01:42] I'm trying to use OpenVPN wiht android and i'm running into some problems http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/ [01:42] unrar and p7zip-rar packages are similar and they both do they same thing in file-roller, is that correct? [01:42] I can't seem to get the ubuntu live cd to run. It starts to, I get the keyboard and lil'guy icon, then the I get a white pixelated bar at the bottom of the screen. [01:42] Anyone know how to correct this? [01:42] OK, So I think you are right violinappren. When I go to configure Phonon, and click the "test" button, no sound is being played [01:43] iflip, wamp is for windows [01:43] DroidDuck try kubuntu, that might work [01:43] iflip, that why called wamp [01:43] L1: phonon can stream audio to many backends, some of them may work on your configuration, some of them may not, so look in KDE settings [01:43] blackshirt, I have a simple HTML file that loads POST data to a PHP file. This is for a web program class. The HTML loads fine locally, but when I click the submit button, the PHP does not load, instaed it asks if I want to save the PHP file to my computer. I don't want to save the file, I want to execute it [01:43] Say's I'm using PulseAudio Sound Server for music (and other) playback [01:43] plug in your headphones and make sure its not just playing out of the wrong jack [01:44] eamon, I don't like KDE. Is that my only choice now? [01:44] Hey folks, I am having an issue making a publicly accessible (by everyone) samba share on ubuntu. Read and Write. [01:44] gnome? xfce? [01:44] I installed HP-LIP.2.13.9.run without error. when I run hp-setup to finish installing printer get no option to poll parallel port. How do I fix? [01:45] iflip, you should configure apache module for php ... [01:45] DroidDuck it might not even work - it could be an X problem [01:45] blackshirt, how would I go about doing that? [01:45] Iflip, i don't play with lamp stack anymore.. That bit a cryptic for me [01:45] So, does anyone know how to solve X video issues? [01:45] blackshirt, do I need to load or save any php scripts to the apache root [01:45] chmod [01:45] Iflip, i like install bit by bit for a packages [01:46] Can anyone help me with samba please? Trying to make a fully open folder to the public on my network. [01:46] violinappren: Thanks - your suggestion got me in the right place. In System Settings -> Sound, under Applications, Amorak was on 0 volume for some reason :/ [01:46] wacomalt, thats why samba play a role [01:46] DroidDuck what hardware are you using (video card specifically) [01:46] yes, I'm using samba [01:46] L1: you're welcome.. im an old KDE fan (not any more though...)

O_o [01:47] violin what made you change your mind about KDE? [01:48] i think linus-torvalds can setup it :d [01:48] WACOMalt: no, i am [01:48] I just SSH into my Linux Box. The /etc/apache2/mods-enabled has the PHP5 conf files already in place [01:48] I wouldn't be asking a simple question as suck lol.

The /etc/apache2/mods-enabled has the PHP5 conf files already in place [01:48] in there youc an enable your second monitor [01:48] DroidDuck have you installed this? https://www.google.ie/search?q=GT+610+linux+driver [01:48] you'll have to from then on ignore ubuntu's display settings :/ [01:48] you were linus-torvalds..anyone know who you is :d lol [01:49] So anyone up for helping me with this samba setup?

[02:55] WACOMalt, I wonder if its in the fstab are you sure its not? [02:55] WACOMalt: if you want finer control over mounting, i'd suggest applying labels, then using fstab file.

[03:00] hopefully that fixes it, how do I update my mountpoints? reboot?

[04:01] mushroomed: If you've installed 3.5.2, you did it from the Ubuntu mainline kernel archive - you need to fetch the header files from there and install them using dpkg [04:02] tortib: broadcast should be set automatically but it never hurts to be explicit [04:02] sorry to interupt... i still dont know the difference from KDE to Gnome.. i use Puppy linx with a desktop environment alot. [04:02] a small answer would be good.. [04:03] i think ubuntu uses compiz [04:03] is that small enough? [04:03] jerry_l1, that different developer sources [04:03] somsip: PPA? [04:03] jerry_l1: install kde and gnome on puppy and try em out. They're just different iinterfaces. KDE emulates Apple OSX pretty heavily [04:03] which desktop environment does puppy use? [04:03] .... [04:03] TJ-: also you'r enot specifying a gateway? [04:03] oh wait you are [04:03] jerry_l1, different base library for graphical interfaces [04:04] mushroomed: probably better if you reply to TJ- as he seems to know for sure [04:04] why are you specifying a broadcast and a network? [04:04] it's one of those real small ones [04:04] tortib: no... that's done by other scripts... the ISP gateway is set when ppp0 comes up, then I have openvpn create a tunnel to a datacenter which replaces the default gateway with the other end of the tunnel [04:04] hey B.s. those answers seem pretty good. [04:05] TJ-: somsip: I really don't understand where to fetch the headers from [04:05] as mor the mac... most of the puppy linuxs look like a mac..?

Is there a filesystem driver for Ext2/3/4 for Windows that DOESNT suck? [04:06] jerry_l1, I think puppy using KDE as a desktop environment :D [04:06] jerry_l1, most of kde libraries built with Qt framework [04:06] mushroomed: are you using Quantal? [04:06] mushroomed: OK. That's not a kernel provided by Ubuntu, even from the kernel team's PPA archive.

[04:07] alas. Yeah both Ext2Fsd and Ext2IFS are both buggy as heck and have a tendancy to break your drives... [04:07] I just assigned the disks mounting and networking issues [04:07] mushroomed: Why didn't you say!? You're on a Virtual private server [04:08] TJ-: Yes , sorry [04:08] Didn't knew it was an important detail [04:08] mushroomed: on a VPS the kernel is pre-set :) Let me check where Linode's source should be [04:08] WACOMalt: they could add it to the OS, the defs of the file systems are freely aailable. Funny how the Linux community took the time to work out NTFS so that the OS can access NTFS partitions despite the data structure being unpublished and not available to anyone... [04:08] TJ-: Thanks! Really [04:09] ActionParsnip, maybe ... but some of them I ever used [04:09] ActionParsnip: Thank you too [04:10] ActionParsnip, Sad and funny, but it makes sense. Not many windows users would use it, so its not worth their time. Expecially when the linux people are making NTFS work for them. Now everyone can just use NTFS :P [04:10] ! http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extbrowser/ [04:10] WACOMalt: I think its a bit shortsighted [04:10] paragon has a currently free browser for it! [04:10] ActionParsnip, is Microsoft ever NOT shortsighted? :P [04:11] WACOMalt: they helped develop samba if memory serves [04:11] really? That I did not expect to hear!

Just use it as an example of how to configure a bridge === tux is now known as Guest26207 === WACOMalt|AFK is now known as WACOMalt [04:17] TJ-: i was using it as an EXAMPLE [04:17] i wasn't using it verbatim come on man give me some credit [04:17] i will paste you what i used [04:17] hmm ExtExplorer isnt seeing my drive :/ [04:17] tortib: OK :) [04:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210326/ [04:18] ignore the #'s infront of the settings [04:18] i put those there to comment them out [04:18] becuase i can't get online without them there [04:18] eth1 is set by the GUI [04:18] I can't get it to work with the configuration file [04:18] it doesn't set the IPs properly. [04:21] TJ-: if br0 is created my eth1 loses it's ip settings [04:21] eventhough i set them statically in the configuration file... [04:21] grep "ebi\/javascripts\/prototype" -r ./ .. this should recurse through the current dirs subdirs .. and look through all files for the string "ebi/javascripts/prototype" right? [04:22] tortib: do they overlap in any way? [04:22] TJ-: no the eth1 interface uses 192.168.1.10/24 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 [04:23] tortib: "iface eth0 inet manual" ??? [04:23] that was from another config example [04:23] from the openvpn docs on ubuntu [04:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html [04:24] ubuntu is a bit retarded for not commenting their configuration files [04:24] it would make life a lot easier [04:24] tortib: "manual" should be "static" === mushroomed is now known as Guest87747 [04:25] when i set eth1 inet static [04:25] tortib: documentation is always in the man files [04:25] it doens't set the ip [04:25] there is no man page for the interfaces script file... [04:25] oh i guess there is [04:25] tortib: "man interfaces" [04:26] if it is static... YOU set the ip. [04:26] its static. [04:26] it doesn't take [04:26] hi, I try to compile exim on my ubuntu 12.04, it requires libdb-dev files, but there are libdb4.8 and libdb5.1 both installed, how can I know which lib is used by the system? [04:26] i have to set it from the GUI [04:26] or else it doesn't work [04:26] just like dhcp [04:26] if i tell it to use dhcp [04:26] in the config file it doesn't take [04:26] seems sunbird comes now as an add-on for thunderbird but im using another mail service, is there a way to use only sunbird for calendar and stuff without using thunderbird at all? [04:27] what config file are you editing? [04:27] TJ-: Did you found something? [04:27] why aren't the configurations i set in the GUI stored in the configuration file? [04:27] L3top: /etc/network/interfaces [04:27] L3top: indeed... I think the "manual" came from somewhere that 'meant' "static"... in fact it should be "dhcp" and drop all the up/down script stuff if there's a DHCP server on the other end of that segment [04:27] tortib: if you edit the file yourself... it tends to break network manager. [04:28] hi all [04:28] when i first edited the file my eth1 was set to dhcp and the configuration file didn't reflect that [04:28] mushroomed_: ahh there you are! No, I can't find any mention of where to get the headers or recent Linode kernels. You need to ask them. They have the IRC channel #linode on the OFTC IRc network where you can ask [04:28] L3top: wonderful [04:28] Thanks TJ-! ! [04:28] i am upgrading from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts and its taking long on "geting new packages" 1412 of 1423 (for teh last 20 minutes) ... i am using the alternate cd to upgrade [04:28] any ideas y ? [04:28] tortib: basically, Network Manager will ignore any interface you have an entry for in 'interfaces' since it assumes you don't want your settings messed with [04:28] tortib: well... this is because it uses a different file... and the interfaces file overrides that. [04:29] andreb, are you upgrading using cd ? [04:29] yes [04:29] andreb: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [04:29] andreb: do the installation offline then upgrade your packages. [04:29] L3top: let me set my IP to static in the interfaces file first to see if that works without breaking [04:29] i am doign teh isntallation of line and yes i did md5 test the cd [04:29] andreb: you could've mounted the ISO and used that, no need to burn a CD [04:30] i burned the cd from home and brought it to teh office [04:30] so it could be that teh cd has a scratch or is it normal to take hthat long ? [04:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210343/ [04:30] does that look correct to all of you? [04:31] andreb: that could do it. and did you md5sum the iso as ActionParsnip asked? [04:31] yes.. i did [04:31] tortib: as long as you also have "iface lo inet loopback" and "auto lo" [04:31] hrm.. lket me down the cd on the box an dmoth it then [04:32] TJ-: i do at the top [04:32] auto lo eth0 eth1 br0 [04:32] iface lo inet loopback [04:32] ok.. hte fetch file process started over again and stoped at 1412 [04:32] tortib: OK, just checking, since I thought that pastebin was the entire file [04:32] hrm [04:32] let me down it [04:32] no it was just the segment i'm changing [04:32] i want to avoid using the gui for making network changes [04:32] tortib: it must read like auto eth0 /n iface eth0 inet static /n address 192.168.1.4 /n netmask 255.255.255.0 [04:33] for example. /n = line break [04:33] tortib: without "auto ethX" the system won't bring up the interface for you - it'll expect you to do it yourself [04:33] okay [04:33] it worked [04:33] it changed the IP [04:33] like i wanted [04:34] tortib: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:34] now how do i get the bridge to work? [04:34] I did flood? [04:34] didn't* [04:34] tortib: see, what I don't get is, in your original pastebin, you had "eth0" defined but you were trying to create a bridge with just "eth1" - where is eth1 ? [04:34] it was 4 lines [04:34] Hey TJ- [04:34] mushroomed_: ? [04:34] They told me this "All of our newer kernels are compiled from vanilla kernel.org sources. You can get the kernel from there and check your /proc/config.gz file to check any configuration options you may need to see." [04:34] tortib: dude. you're arguing with the bot ... [04:35] TJ-: Then, what should I do? [04:35] mushroomed_: that makes sense... but strictly they are breaking the GNU GPL because if they distribute they must offer the sources themselves, not just palm you off to some other location! [04:35] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210349/ there is the WHOLE file [04:35] in all it's glory [04:36] if I try to /etc/init.d/networking restart it will break my network [04:36] eth1 will go down and lose its ip [04:36] and br0 will be created with the ip i specified [04:36] Need help installing printer. Any takers? [04:36] CompuTom: whatchu got [04:37] mushroomed_: Best thing to do is install the 'git' version control system and clone the mainline kernel source. "sudo apt-get install git" followed by (in your home directory) "git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git" [04:37] CompuTom: which printer are you installing? is it an AIO?

I got the specific HP-LIP for this printer, but when I get to the setup phase the option to use parallel port is greyed out. All I need to use is the printer. [04:38] mushroomed_: However, that doesn't help too much when you want the kernel headers to build against on a standard Ubuntu installation [04:38] CompuTom: have you installed hplib? [04:39] yes, no errors. [04:39] TJ-: Will I have problems doing that? I don't want to break anything === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [04:40] tortib: Still not sure why you only have one interface in the bridge, or why you list "auto eth0" when there is no 'eth0' defined [04:41] mushroomed_: I think it'll make things unduly complicated for you if you're not experience at this stuff. What is it you need the kernel headers for? [04:42] TJ-: I want to mount an Asterisk + FreePBX server [04:45] mushroomed_: Linode's docs on that are out of date I think, too. http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Asterisk [04:46] linux [04:47] mushroomed_: have you seen this? http://library.linode.com/communications/voip-services [04:47] cfhowlett-I used HP-Lip-3.12.9 and everything went without error. Then I must restart and finish with hp-setup command in terminal. That starts OK but no option to use parallel port, only USB or WiFi or network. [04:48] TJ-: I'll read it, thanks. [04:48] people - i want to migrate from one machine to another running ubuntu - how can i transfer all my data with applications installed ? [04:48] is it even possible first of all ? [04:48] !clone [04:48] 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 [04:48] CompuTom: so you've got partial functionality. If HP hasn't released the driver for that model and it's an open source backward engineering product, I'd suspect the work is incomplete. [04:48] solofight: sure [04:48] CompuTom: but quite possibly the best you're likely to get. [04:48] ActionParsnip: hwo to ? [04:49] how* [04:49] solofight: read what ubottu said.... [04:49] ActionParsnip: i want to thank you for helping out to solve the upgradation issue - i changed archives.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in source file [04:49] I uninstalled Chrome v.18 to install the latest version (21 i think), but now I'm running into problems because I accidently installed the 32 bit version. It keeps telling me when i try and install the 64 bit version with dpkg -i chrome.deb that I have it already installed. I tried removing the old version with the --remove and --purge flag and it seems to be gone, so I don't know whats going on. Is there some way of completely getting [04:49] rid of the bad install that I missed? Any suggestions? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest31212 [04:49] and i was able to upgrade to the next version (though not the latest one) [04:50] cfhowlett: thank you. [04:50] solofight: np dude [04:50] TJ-: See this answer from Linode Support ==> http://cl.ly/image/0U3N3R3h2h1W [04:50] CompuTom: don't take my word. Ask in channel again [04:51] gowie: if you installed the chrome deb, you added the google repo and you'll get an update [04:51] cfhowlett: is this the best place to ask? [04:51] yep [04:51] ActionParsnip: thats for packages - what about my data ? [04:51] gowie: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy google* [04:52] solofight: use your backups [04:52] ActionParsnip I think its in a half install state and I dont think it will be able to do that. [04:52] i'm backing up my 10.04 system, already have /home backed up, but wonder which other root dirs I do/don't need to backup. It's a LAMP stack dev machine so I know I've edited stuff in /etc, but other than that I'm unsure what's important (aka user) stuff [04:52] ActionParsnip: i dont have one [04:52] solofight: what if the drive suddenly dies, where is your data? [04:52] I have access to two machines now need to replicate the data from on to another [04:53] solofight: you can use rsync to copy the data over, or just do a copy / paste as you exist [04:53] *expect [04:53] ActionParsnip Doing so now. [04:53] gowie: use http://pastie.org or similar to host the output :) [04:54] ActionParsnip: ok - while installing a new operating system - i heard that thre is a specific format which you install which will let you copy the home directory or something when you want to move to another machine with your complete set of softwares and data [04:54] is it true ? [04:54] mushroomed_: It's probably not worth arguing but I think the FSF would say different :) [04:54] like /username/softwares; /username/data [04:54] TJ-: I'm surprised with their answer [04:55] ActionParsnip Alright this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/Jqf0B1nC [04:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [04:55] solofight, [04:55] so i copy the directory /username and put it in the new machine all the installed softwares along with data is there in new machine [04:55] ? [04:55] kanliot: yes [04:57] mushroomed_: So am I. You rent the VPS instance and choose what to install in it. If you get the kernel from Linode, then they are distributing. I suggest a friendly email to Chris (he has always seemed like a nice guy to me when I've had dealings with him) copied to the FSF, might help [04:57] TJ-: eth0 exists on the server but isn't in use. [04:57] TJ-: that shouldn't bring my network down when i rerun the init.d script for networking to create br0 [04:58] tortib: As it isn't mentioned in 'interfaces' then Network Manager may well take over that interface [04:58] i can remove eth0 if it makes you happy but it's not going to solve my problem [04:58] TJ-: Who's Chris? [04:58] tortib: why do you re-run the init.d script? that will pull down existing interfaces since it will be doing a 'restart' which is a 'stop' followed by a 'start' [04:59] mushroomed_: Chris Akers - the guy that set-up Linode [04:59] TJ-: what should I do then to bring up br0 [04:59] ciao [04:59] TJ-: there i removed eth0 from auto [05:00] tortib: "sudo ifup br0" or "sudo ifdown br0" - however, as it is set to auto, it should be started automatically at boot === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [05:04] gowie: ok and the output of: dpkg -l | grep google Thanks [05:04] TJ-: you're missing my point completely [05:05] brining up the br0 interface takes my network DOWN [05:05] eth1 goes DOWN === tort|b is now known as tortib [05:05] i just did ifup br0 and it broke my network [05:05] then i have to comment out the settings in interfaces and reboot the server [05:05] in order to get back online quickly [05:06] tortib: well it will! you can't an IP assigned to an interface, and then bridge that interface. The IP is assigned to the bridge! the interfaces in the bridge do not have IPs [05:06] i'm backing up before an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 and trying to determine which folders I absolutely don't need to backup. For starters I think these include: bin, boot, "cdrom" (just a symlink?), and dev. ANY reason I might have stuff to save in those? [05:07] tortib: A bridge is a layer-2 joining on multiple ethernet segments [05:07] I see [05:07] so how can I fix this [05:07] nautilus... clone the HD and upgrade the clone... then if you lost some thing just pull it off of the old disk....my 2 cents. [05:07] just assign the 192 address to the br0 interface? [05:07] http://pastebin.com/UCgNYKaS [05:07] and use that as my interface to connect? [05:08] Nautilus: just backup all the files in $HOME (including hidden ones) and /etc folder [05:08] nsaquatics: most people said dont try the upgrade, do it clean. Still, I'm trying to make a good backup [05:08] tortib: yes [05:08] TJ-: i'm doing this becuase i want openvpn to try to connect to my LAN [05:08] TJ-: so i set the gateway on the br0 interface? [05:09] ActionParsnip: OK you caught a good one there, I use the box as a dev LAMP stack and know I need some stuff from /etc [05:09] tortib: yes, then your openvpn script can add the new tap interface to br0 [05:09] i use tun [05:09] not tap [05:10] TJ-: so i would set the interface in the openvpn configuration file to br0 ? [05:10] ActionParsnip: Other dirs I dont -think- I need are niitrd, lib, lost-found, media, mnt, opt, proc, root, sbin, selinux, srv, sys, tmp ... see any there I should wonder about? [05:11] initrd* [05:12] Nautilus: those are generated by the installer, so no need to backup those [05:12] tortib: no, you'd have an if-up script for the tap interface that calls "brctl" to add the tap interface to br0 [05:12] ActionParsnip: last two then ... usr, var [05:12] tortib: and a related script for if-down to remove the tap interface from the bridge [05:12] tortib: I'm pretty sure openvpn package comes with (example) scripts for that, or has docs about it [05:13] Nautilus: those are made by the installer [05:13] tortib: e.g. "brctl addif " [05:14] ActionParsnip: yea but caught ya on one there, I know I put a program in /usr. Not that I need to back it up, but the box is >2yo and I don't remember everything I did! So, I'm being pedantic and thanks for your help with it :) [05:14] TJ-: I think my problem is my bridge mode wont work because i only have one ethernet device connecting to the network === chris__ is now known as isfan [05:15] so i'm only bridging eth1 [05:15] so i wont have a seperate port for WAN [05:15] Just one port for LAN [05:16] tortib: the number of ports on the bridge won't matter. But you might want to set the default gateway for the bridge so you can route to the WAN over layer 3 (IP) [05:18] TJ-: so something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210390/ [05:18] woops forgot the bridge eth1 part [05:18] bridge_ports eth1 [05:18] ActionParsnip: To put it another way, I have home, etc, usr and var in the backup now. Any of those other folders I might backup "just in case"? I don't think so but hate to find out later I made an oops [05:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210392/ [05:19] ActionParsnip Did you get that last link? I forgot to include your name... [05:19] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210392/ [05:20] tortib: Yes, I think that should work, as long as Network Manager doesn't get hold of eth0 (if it has a cable plugged in!) [05:20] error when getting information for the file /home/drupin/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected [05:20] http://bit.ly/U2GVfh will this work out [05:21] eth0 does not have a cable plugged in [05:21] only eth1 [05:21] let me restart networking and see what it does [05:22] TJ-: it worked [05:23] TJ-: but it broke ipv6 [05:23] TJ-: any idea how to get it working WITH ipv6 ? [05:24] # ip -6 r 2001:470:d:1eb::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 expires 85982sec 2001:470:d:1eb::/64 dev br0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 86300sec [05:24] it added two routes [05:25] deleting one or the other doesn't seem to help [05:25] oh there is a default via [05:25] hrmp [05:26] TJ-: got it to work [05:26] deleted the eth1 default route for ipv6 and now it's routing again [05:26] so now i have a interface called br0 [05:26] that's really eth1 [05:26] layer 2 [05:27] TJ-: now how do i setup openvpn to use br0 so i can connect to my LAN when I connect to OpenVPN?

I guess so [05:34] Hi, how can I add resolution options for my display? I only have the option for 640x480. [05:34] pickledeggs: what GPU are you using? [05:34] nvidia [05:35] pickledeggs: did you install the proprietary video driver? [05:35] geforce 630m [05:36] i downloaded the bumble bee driver [05:36] pickledeggs: oh, its a hybrid gpu thing? [05:36] TJ-: I get this error when I try to run brctl $BR $TUN [05:36] can't add tun0 to bridge br0: Invalid argument [05:37] tortib: that's correct. the vpn needs to be a TAP to be bridged. a TUN is an IP tunnel, not an Ethernet tap [05:37] pickledeggs: may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics I've never seen a success with dual gpus (intel/nvidia etc) [05:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html [05:37] is AMD Atholon 64 3200+ a 64 bit processor? [05:37] i'm following that guide [05:37] drupin: yes [05:38] ActionParsnip, I actually believe you were helping me on launchpad, and the driver seems to be working and in fact i installed a new kernel which fixed the crashing [05:38] okay so change it to tap gotcha [05:38] drupin: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%203200+%20-%20ADA3200AEP4AX%20(ADA3200AXBOX).html [05:39] pickledeggs: the commands there may help, if you can disable a GPU in some way it will help. [05:40] ohh know i have 32 bit Unbuntu i loaded... ActionParsnip [05:40] my bad.. [05:40] Hi, im having problems setting up duel monitors for my ubuntu, the monitor is both shown in displays and nvidia settings, but it wont turn the other display on. can anyone be of help? [05:41] ActionParsnip, is there a way to just add the resolutions with scripts? [05:42] ActionParsnip: is 64 bit faster... [05:42] i nnedd to put on torrent now [05:42] but how come it shows x86 [05:44] drupin: 64bit has it's advantages (is it faster? right now not by much, but being able to access more than 3gb of ram even without the speed gains is good enough), x86 is 32bit. to find out if your cpu is 64bit capable you'll need to google it [05:44] ok aeon-ltd [05:46] drupin: for certain tasks yes, for normal desktop stuff then no [05:46] pickledeggs: you can mess with xrandr [05:46] drupin: you will need the 64bit ISO to get 64bit OS) [05:47] ActionParsnip, Will messing with xrand make the options for higher resolution permanent? [05:47] pickledeggs: you can add a command to run after login etc, dual GPUs is a real mess in Linux [05:47] pickledeggs: its best to just avoid it === Guest68372 is now known as avis [05:53] ActionParsnip Hey man that worked.

[05:58] it keeps saying my wirelss is disabled by the hardware switch [05:59] random_: if you hit the identify button a few times, does it turn on? [05:59] Good morning, I have returned with more questions. Why do I keep getting flash player out of date errors in Chromium when I have just run an update and flashplayer-installer was updated? [05:59] ActionParsnip, Nope, But, it has the monitor name and size and resolution known. i [05:59] f00dMonsta: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm [06:00] ActionParsnip, i've plugged in and out the monitor, and rebooted with no luck [06:00] Ascavasaion: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' Thanks [06:01] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/PENVXSpF [06:02] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1210444/ [06:02] hi [06:03] ActionParsnip: It was working before, then I restarted and it stopped working...

[06:05] f00dMonsta: do you dual boot the system? [06:05] ActionParsnip: but the message I get tells me shockwave [06:05] ActionParsnip: Do you advise me to uninstall Chromium and install Chrome instead? [06:05] I don't am I'm actually trying to remove grub as well [06:05] ActionParsnip: I don't am I'm actually trying to remove grub as well [06:05] ActionParsnip: I don't and* I'm actually trying to remove grub as well [06:06] ActionParsnip: but I have a removable drive plugged in that has Windows7 on it [06:06] Ascavasaion: do you have my issue as well? [06:07] Ascavasaion: ah, then uninstall the flashplugin-installer package and enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin. Natty is EOL next month so you may want to consider updating [06:07] f00dMonsta: ok does the system have a make and model? [06:07] ActionParsnip: kay, thank you. [06:07] Lenovo Z570 [06:10] ActionParsnip: Lenovo Ideapad Z570 [06:10] f00dMonsta: tried Fn + F% ? [06:10] Fn + F5 [06:13] ActionParsnip: if I enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin as well, will my problem be fixed? [06:13] ActionParsnip: yes... and tried flipping the physical switch for wifi/bluetooth [06:13] I hate to not use Chromium [06:13] Kartagis: should be ok, works for 64bit OS too as it installs 64bit flash [06:14] Does anyone know if theres a way to have it to where it'll remember various port numbers to where if you ssh into a computer it'll remember the port numbers for each host [06:14] f00dMonsta: also try: sudo rfkill unlock all [06:14] f00dMonsta: also try: sudo rfkill unblock all [06:14] ActionParsnip: tried that before, and just tried again. Still no :< [06:16] ActionParsnip: should I try to reboot without the Windows7 Drive plugged in? [06:17] f00dMonsta: worth a shot [06:17] ok brb [06:17] What to make of a 'configure' script that finds gcc (as it should), but then errors out saying that it could not find a suitable C++ compiler to build the package? [06:18] I just grabbed the source for pgAdmin3 v1.16.0 and wanted to compile from source because the ubuntu repository is only up to 1.14.0 which is not ready for the now-released postgresql-9.2 [06:19] ActionParsnip, Tried a few more things...and im getting no where. :/ do you have any ideas, cause i dont :( [06:24] heh... This is wierd [06:24] It's working now [06:24] but only after 3 restarts [06:24] 1st restart: Unplugged removable drive... didn't work [06:25] 2nd restart: tried "sudo rfkill unblock all"... didnt' work [06:25] 3rd restart: changed boot sequence in bios to point to primary hard drive first instead of "ubuntu" (which I assume means grub loader).... works [06:26] oh ActionParsnip not here [06:26] he'll be back im sure [06:34] i now get RANDR is not present when i go to Settings > display. and my nvidia settings dosnt even let me hit apply on turning on my second display. i dont know whats going on. why cant i use two monitors? this is the first time this has happened to me [06:34] seems like 64 bit ubuntu works way better [06:37] i really would like to get this fixed :/ ... [06:37] i have two monitors, and only can use one [06:38] how can I hard format from the terminal? I want my system crystal clear without any partitions. [06:39] Just use a live ubuntu disk and use gparted to delete all the partitions [06:39] whats a good torrent application [06:39] Joebeezy10: transmission-gtk [06:39] random_: what have you tried so far, I came in late [06:39] Joebeezy10: transmission [06:39] I am using transmission-qt [06:40] if i format a drive to linux swap will that improve anything for me [06:41] Joebeezy10: i like transmission or deluge [06:41] ejo, Well i use to be able to go into Settings > Display, and turn my other monitor on, but the monitor would not go on, but now i get a RANDR is not present error, and it crashes, i use to be able to go into nvidia-settings and enable my other monitor there, but still, it didnt turn the monitor on, and now i can even hit the apply button for it, im not sure what to do [06:41] Joebeezy10: or rtorrent for cli [06:41] I have another question. My grub is invisible on the graphics mode. How can I turn it to text-mode? the solutions from the internet are quite outdated [06:41] what would formatting a drive to linux swap do for my system [06:43] random_: I'm on ATI rather than Nvidia so I won't be able to go the full distance with you, but there are a few possibilities. One is if you're trying to use Xinerama and shouldn't be (or vice versa)... another is you might need to just remove your drivers and reinstall them [06:43] ejo, i saved the xorg.conf and rebooted, re-installed my driver, plugged in and out my monitor, nothing will turn my second monitor on. Nvida on gnome classic. [06:43] hmm ok [06:43] oh gnome classic... that might negate what I said about Xinerama too [06:43] i did try xine [06:43] but i think thats what broke my Settings > display. [06:43] you're on a single video card, right? [06:43] Joebeezy10: The installer should have automatically created a swap partition, unless you told it NOT to. [06:44] ejo, no, SLI 8800gt's [06:44] anybody? [06:44] but plugged into the same card. [06:44] ejo, well was sli, until i re did my driver, so they wont be on sli mode right now [06:45] VinnyAtaide, you looks stupid when say that :( [06:45] random_: hate to say it, but your configuration is probably enough different from mine that I won't be able to help. [06:45] random_: however I think it's very likely you will be able to solve it [06:46] ejo, erm they are in sli mode. and yea understandable. im just fusterated, cause literally, this is my first OS that i've had any problems with duel monitors. [06:47] blackshirt: You look stupid when you call someone else stupid, and your grammar is lacking! [06:47] random_: it is true that Linux is, sadly, still the land of slightly less ease in multi-monitor setups. However you WILL get it working for dual. You should see what I went through to attempt triple on two cards. Not possible for now. [06:47] Hello, [06:47] The temperature of my graficcard ist too high (72°). I use a Nvidia GTX460M and 2 Monitors with extended Desktop Mode. What can i do the temperature colder ? [06:47] rob_p_ : thanks you .. :D I'm verry happy :D [06:47] random_: have you tried the nvidia on linux support channel? (i don't know the exact name). The similar one for ATI helped me more than this ubuntu channel by far. === lkthomas2 is now known as lkthomas [06:48] ejo, i would, if i knew the channel [06:49] Oimel1987: ideally you add another internal fan blowing on it. The other option is look for a proprietary driver that lets you manually adjust the video card internal fan speed :| [06:49] random_: surely you'll find it via google if you're persistent. Also, Sunday in the middle of North American night is not exactly the high point of IRC traffic. [06:50] indeed [06:50] ejo, yea indeed, well right now im trying to fix my Randr is not present error :/ [06:50] is anyone here familiar with setting up OpenVPN? [06:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html [06:51] i'm following that and running into problems [06:51] I get an error unroutable control packet received from (my ip address) [06:51] tortib: Bridged or routed? [06:51] bridged [06:52] random_: if I remember correctly, xrandr is just not up to date for linux currently, and for some time... it will be great when/if they get the two back together but in the meantime I think a "randr not present" error means you just went the wrong way [06:52] rob_p_: bridged [06:52] tortib: So your bridging scripts probably needs some work... [06:52] it's pretty simple [06:52] ejo: This notebook is really well cooled on Windows before. Under Windows there are no temperature problems. My Notebook is the G73jW and this has 2 very big fans on the left and right back. The Notebook under Ubuntu is also much louder than in Windows. So i think there must be a driver problem or something else. I don't believe that there is so much grafical using of the unity desktop that the grafic card must run under hot temperat [06:52] let me paste it for you [06:52] ures [06:52] not this kind of grafic card [06:53] rob_p_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210502/ [06:53] Is there a way to update from 11.04 to 12.04, without first going through 11.10? I have tried both LTS and normal release update notification in update-manager. [06:53] Ascavasaion: nope [06:53] Oimel1987: oh i see, it's a laptop. Well... the problem is most likely due to driver differences... it's quite possible that they have a higher-performance driver for it in Windows that always runs its cooling fans higher. [06:53] Ascavasaion: clean install 12.04 for best results [06:53] cfhowlett: What a terrible waste of time, and my monthly cap limit :( [06:54] rob_p_: the /etc/openvpn/server.conf looks like this [06:54] < agree with clean install for best results... just have your data safe on a separate drive [06:54] ejo, it was working before i stared messing with this stuff lol [06:54] rob_p_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210503/ [06:54] ejo: So I'll have to wait till there is a better driver for this grafic card or to change back to fuckin windows ? [06:54] Ascavasaion: install update LTS only is something to consider [06:54] random_: that probably indicates that solutions similar to reinstalling stuff and cleaning out configs will be best. [06:54] Oops... gotta run. I'm actually at work! If I get some time, I'll be back later. But I have some bridging script examples that I use successfully on my servers. [06:55] rob_p_: ugh [06:55] tortib: Oops... gotta run. I'm actually at work! If I get some time, I'll be back later. But I have some bridging script examples that I use successfully on my servers. [06:55] ejo, yea thanks for the help [06:55] cfhowlett: I did that, it will not let me update to 12.04 from 11.04. I have even tried a sudo do-release-upgrade and nothing. [06:55] which repo has the kernel-sources package? [06:55] Oimel1987: I'm not convinced that 72C is going to kill your card... mine was fine for three years of hard daily use at 78 [06:56] Oimel1987: but you should check with an nvidia-on-linux interest group for specifics on this, maybe they have an easy solution. [06:56] Ascavasaion: you cannot update from 11.04 to 12.04. NOPE. You can and should clean install 12.04. then update from LTS to LTS i.e. 14.04 [06:56] Oimel1987: same as I was telling random_ here [06:56] Ascavasaion: 11.04 is NOT LTS. [06:56] anyone else know how to use openvpn with bridging? [06:56] cant believe someone told me 64 bit version wasnt faster [06:57] Ejo: where can i find a group like that ? [06:57] cfhowlett: Oh, okay, thank you. [06:57] Oimel1987: I don't know because I am an ATI/AMD user. But there certainly is such a group and it must have an IRC and mailing list. [06:58] Joebeezy10: they were probably stuck in 2008 [06:58] Ejo: ok then i will search the channel lists up to an group like that. Thank you [06:58] good luck Oimel1987 [06:58] Oimel1987, is that to hot? like most nvidia stuff you dont ahve to worry bout till 80+ [07:04] hi all how send bit in the pin lpt? [07:05] Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me diagnose an issue in ubuntu 12.4 .. I was browsing a windows share and moving a file when I lost and was unable to re-establish the connection. Since then, its no longer showing the server when I click network locations, and wont browse to the server. Note, nothing changed in between on either box that I know of, and I have control of both machines [07:05] I am not sure where to look for logs... samba logs are empty [07:06] d1rkp1tt: router reset??

[07:18] d1rkp1tt: how about just asking your paketmanagement if it is? [07:19] apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME will show if its installed and if so which version [07:19] well unless I have the name wrong [07:19] its not installed [07:20] My question was more about whether it was supposed to be... [07:20] or if it has been deprecated [07:20] removed.. [07:20] samba isnt installed out of the box [07:20] is there an alternative? [07:20] but avalable via apt as always [07:21] Something is installed thats not working, and I want to diagnose that [07:21] nautilus?

I want to fix what is already there rather than adding more software if I dont need it [07:22] d1rkp1tt: what is the problem? [07:23] Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me diagnose an issue in ubuntu 12.4 .. I was browsing a windows share and moving a file when I lost and was unable to re-establish the connection. Since then, its no longer showing the server when I click network locations, and wont browse to the server. Note, nothing changed in between on either box that I know of, and I have control of both machines [07:23] My original message.. [07:23] Its a VM to host [07:23] d1rkp1tt: describe why not working [07:24] oh, it's a vm [07:26] d1rkp1tt: is it VMware or virtualbox, or something else? And do you have the latest tools (vmware-toolbox for VMware, or the equivalent) installed in the VM? [07:26] vmware [07:26] 9.1 [07:26] Actually, I dont think I installed vmware toolbox, but it was working.... [07:27] Will give that a shot, and might just bite the bullet and install samba [07:31] what up [07:32] d1rkp1tt: If it is a local VM in player or workstation, you should be OK if you can enable drag-and-drop between the VM and your host. I have workstation, so am not sure how to enable drag-and-drop in player. But you don't need samba if drag-and-drop works === mimor is now known as mimor_ === setkeh` is now known as setkeh [07:46] What would happen if, in the middle of copying a large file to a usb drive, the drive were unplugged, and plugged back in? [07:46] rcfgx, wouldn't matter [07:46] rcfgx: nothing good [07:46] the file transfer would stop [07:46] most likely anyways [07:47] rcfgx: It depends somewhat on what filesystem was being used on the USB drive, but it certainly won't simply continue copying as if nothing happened. === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [07:47] if it didn't, then I'd venture a pretty solid guess that whatever you were transferring would be reduced to garbage. [07:47] why do not try :D [07:48] and if you were trying to dd something to the drive...well, congratulations on your purchase of a new paperweight. [07:48] if you are curious what would happen :D [07:48] Hm...so if it's still copying, then I could safely assume that I didn't turn off the monitor, which is where the drive is plugged in? (embarrassing lapse of memory lol) [07:48] this is via cp btw [07:48] rcfgx, well [07:48] that's a different story [07:49] your monitor's USB could be passthrough [07:49] if it is, then you're fine turning the monitor off [07:49] rcfgx: What does turning off the monitor have to do with file transfers? [07:49] it's not passthrough, if i turn it off, it's equivalent to unplugging the drive [07:49] well, I installed cinnamon now I can't do alt+f2 [07:49] :[ [07:49] rcfgx: Ahh, I understand now. [07:49] What is command for run dialogue? [07:49] so I can make a custom shortcut [07:50] Josh, apt-get remove cinnamon; apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. ;) [07:50] rcfgx: I think it's safe to assume that, yes. If it's important, you may want to do an md5sum check of the file (though that will take about as long as copying it over again would). [07:51] yeah I was going to make the same point [07:51] maybe let it finish copying and then do an md5sum [07:51] but chances are still good that the data is b0rked,. [07:51] Josh, i suppose you might have checked the keyboard shortcuts. [07:52] Josh, for cinnamon [07:52] hmmm...alright, safer to restart the copy i suppose. thanks fellas [07:53] rcfgx: you my have to check the integrity of the filesystem as well [07:53] helloooo [07:54] Hm, Does Pangolin come with samba support out of the box or does it require additional software from Software Center?

[08:18] If I am doign a dist upgrade... If it is still downloading can I stop it and continue later on? Or will it start from the beginning again? Or will it break my system? [08:18] Anyway, quick question. Every time I run a full screen application (that sees to use OpenGL or other) my screen messed up and I have to do a hard reset to fix the problem. HAppens both with games running under WINE, and Native Games. [08:18] timfrost, forked version of Gnome 3 [08:18] timfrost, http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ [08:18] Josh: We don't support cinnamon here, but you should be able to forcefully restart X (and switch to a supported DE) by pressing alt+sysrq+k. [08:18] Ascavasaion, In my experience you can always stop it during it's download procedure, and it'll pick up where it loeft off. [08:18] Josh, gnome-shell, to be exact. not gnome3 [08:18] I wouldn't advise it, however. [08:18] Das-Ziggs: Awesome! Thank you. [08:19] Ascavasaion, No worries bro/sis [08:19] Das-Ziggs, bro/sis :D [08:19] Josh, >.> Well I don't know, do I? XD [08:19] You do [08:19] :D [08:19] Josh: Or use ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to a text tty, login, and run "sudo service lightdm restart" to do something similar which will allow X to be restarted somewhat more gracefully. [08:19] Do I? [08:19] Just google it [08:19] :P [08:20] *drumroll* [08:20] Jordan_U, I'd rather logout :D [08:20] simply [08:20] heh [08:20] Huh.

[09:39] thanks MonkeyDust :-) [09:39] twice that of my ram ?

[09:40] I want to apply it to ubuntu [09:40] solofight: otherwise double the ram is unnessecary [09:40] Is there a way to disable using laptop integrated camera and use USB attached camera? [09:40] krababbel: upgrading hardware ram size is never going to happen [09:40] krababbel: so how much to give ? [09:41] solofight: but with 150GB, you can go 12GB of course, you won't notice a difference [09:41] solofight: I'd use 5GB [09:41] orated, you should be able to choose in the app that's going to be using the camera [09:41] Anyone???? [09:41] krababbel: ok am also giving 5GB [09:41] thanks [09:42] Hello everyone. I followed several howtos on how to encrypt external hard drives with cryptsetup and LUKS, but found almost nothing on how to use a keyfile instead of a passphrase. Any ressource I missed ? Thanks. [09:42] solofight: no problem, you can resize them afterwards even [09:42] temporarytao_: I don't want to have a temporary use with the help of application or such. I want to make permanent change to use USB camera instead of laptop integrated cam [09:42] oh [09:42] krababbel: ++ thank you very much [09:42] solofight: though changing swap or root would need updates in system files too === UrInternetSUCKS is now known as aether [09:45] Hey I had a problem connecting to the internet on last boot.

[10:17] well has intel released driver for those yet? [10:17] Calinou: ethernet [10:17] 1) "lagg" is not a word. "lag" is [10:17] 2) explain freezing? when it freezes, what do you do? [10:17] wizardd: not sure [10:18] Calinou: i meant lag :/ i force shutdown my laptop and boot again? [10:18] Calinou: ment* [10:18] avoid doing this; if X freezes, you can switch to text mode using ctrl+alt+f1 and see what happens (ctrl+alt+f7 to go back to graphical interface) [10:19] You have the same issue? [10:19] try using Ubuntu-2d [10:19] that stopped my UI crashes and freezes [10:19] compiz is still very buggy imo [10:20] Calinou: but should i reboot or just "switch" to and back to graphical and hope it will fix the freezing?

[10:21] Calinou: okey, thanks :) [10:21] Calinou: ethernet?

[10:26] lxde version of ubuntu [10:26] can i disable three fingers triggering feature on ubuntu 12.04? it's really annoying [10:26] ahtmly2k, not sure if you can in ubuntu but I have used a SLAX liveUSB to read broken NTFS drives [10:26] there is also the KDE version of ubuntu, kubuntu, and xfce version, xubuntu [10:26] or if you absolutely have to get the file you could try testdisk which can read ANY (usually broken) partition and it's files. [10:26] but its not really made for file backups, though it can. [10:27] ahtmly2k; install testdisk [10:27] testdisk and photorec, the winning combination (who needs backups? :P ) [10:28] it is possible, i did it before and without third party app.. but i forgot the command. [10:28] meanwhile i'll also try testdisk [10:28] Deutopia, thing is his partitions are still fine, so its kinda overkill. But.. will work [10:28] testdisk has saved my ass so many times in the past [10:29] you could also try the "force" argument in mount [10:29] My desktop (Ubuntu 10.04) is not connecting to the internet, how ever it works in the windows partition. It is connected via LAN, ethernet? [10:29] ahtmly2k: I believe ntfs or ntfs-3g driver can reset the ntfs flag [10:30] something like: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g/ dev/sd## /media/DRIVENAME -o force [10:30] replace with your /dev/ id for the drive and make sure the /media folder you mount to is there beforehand [10:30] is that available from the software center? [10:30] bear in mind this isnt necessarily safe... always run windows chkdisk if you can. [10:30] no [10:30] ahtmly2k: when windows doesn't shutdown normally, its ntfs partitions are marked, so next boot, windows asks to check the filesystem [10:31] RedViper, What kind of network setup do you have, a router or ? [10:31] ahtmly2k, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download [10:31] Can anyone help me with installing Longene? [10:31] ahtmly2k, simply extract, and sudo ./testdisk in the folder [10:32] be sure to read their quick start and manual, you can do SERIOUS damage (and serious fixing) in this program. [10:32] isn't task sel depresiated [10:32] ahtmly2k: try in terminal 'man ntfs-3g' [10:32] cant i doo some sorta apt get group install lamp-server [10:32] !info brltty [10:32] brltty (source: brltty): Access software for a blind person using a braille display.

Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 [10:34] ahtmly2k: mounting it --force would be like skipping the file system check when windows asks for it at boot after improper shutdown [10:34] after further research, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sd? /media/? -o force appears to be completely safe provided there arent ACTUALLY any filesystem errors and it was just an abrupt shutdown [10:35] RedViper, Can you ping your router? [10:35] I think that's what slax does by default [10:36] sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ [10:36] Note - Calling tasks from apt-get is not documented anywhere.

[10:36] dum [10:37] Red_M, a simple ping google.com [10:38] man ping will show you the options you can use. [10:38] ahtmly2k: I don't know if testdisk can actually check ntfs and repair if needed, or if any free linux software can, usually there are no errors from a power loss [10:38] usually I just keep a windows CD installed on USB [10:39] just boot into recovery command promp and type chkdisk or whatever [10:39] WACOMalt: Coukd you give me an example? So I can try? [10:39] for ping command? [10:39] yeah just type: ping google.com [10:39] " ping www.google.com" [10:39] in terminal [10:40] yup, do that [10:40] will spit out the ping and response [10:41] si Quantal Quetzal out yet?

[11:09] hi, does anyone here know about video editing, please? [11:09] thats what I had to do when my nvidia was biting the dust [11:09] ah reviper is ogne [11:09] redviper* [11:09] gone* [11:09] WACOMalt, Sigh.. but why did this happen, this install is literally 2 hours old. [11:09] WACOMalt, Ha. Apparently they are installed by default [11:09] TheHustle: what do you want to know about video editing? [11:10] random_, i HEAR YA [11:10] gah caps... [11:10] I had to reinstall 3 times thanks to nvidia (and trying to install cuda headers.. long story) [11:10] i dont uinderstand why this distro i have been having so much problems with 2 monitors, had none ever before [11:12] cfhowlett, i have transfered a vhs tape to my computer, the problem i have is, the vhs tape has terrible jumping, is there a software solution to fix the jumping? [11:12] Cheapshot: Sorry I'm back what is the problem?\ [11:12] random_, I always have, unless using noveou (sp?) but then nothing else ran very well [11:12] TheHustle: kind of doubt it. Garbage in, garbage out ... [11:12] Cheapshot: Did you see the paste bin? [11:12] RedViper, type "lspci -v" and paste it [11:12] RedViper, yes [11:12] WACOMalt, Well im trying to use the current driver, cause i do plan on doing gaming and stuff, so i kinda wanted the most up to date driver [11:13] yeah I hear ya [11:13] you could always try to download it from NVidia and to the command line install [11:13] that seems to have a higher success rate because it does a cleanup first of some sort [11:13] RedViper, Problem seems to be that ubuntu doesnt recognize your ethernet card for some reason [11:13] cfhowlett, is it possible to go through frame-by-frame and remove the jumps? [11:14] yea, but how can i kill my xserver / gnome so i can install? been so long since i've done that [11:14] TheHustle: see openshot video editor [11:14] TheHustle, for that sort of fix you will sadly need more than what any of the editing softwares for ubuntu can handle [11:14] I'd use Nuke for that, which.. is in Linux, but is also $8k [11:14] TheHustle: ask the #ubuntustudio channel as welll. [11:15] $8K!!! Any Foss equivalents [11:15] I can say with experience that this is above any of the editing suites right now. stabilization and image cleanup are simply too complex currently for any free software I have seen. [11:15] cfhowlett, nope. This is professional VFX editing software. [11:15] cfhowlett & WACOMalt, thanks for your replies. [11:15] I use it daily for my job. [11:15] folks, i have trouble with my sound in ubuntu 12.04 [11:16] cfhowlett: what do you mean "jumping"? [11:16] cfhowlett: frame bounce? [11:16] Cheapshot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210817/ Ok what was that all about? :D [11:16] and it runs so much better on ubuntu than windows, but the price is a big deterrent. Though.. they do have 30 day trial licenses available at thefoundry.co.uk [11:16] guys how can I switch with keyboard shortcut button from one language layout to other. I tried alt+shift and vice versa [11:16] gordonjcp: thehustle is editing video not me. [11:16] cfhowlett: oh, sorry [11:16] but this program is going to be like nothing you have used before. Nodal based image editing. [11:16] gordonjcp, yes it's frame bounce i think [11:16] hello guys! [11:16] TheHustle: okay, you'll need to sort that out at the playback stage [11:17] if the whole frame is bouncing I could fix that very quickly, but not tonight. [11:17] if you're willing to wait I can try to take a look tomorrow night [11:17] TheHustle: tbh you might well be better taking it to a proper dupe house [11:17] hi guys [11:17] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [11:17] Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device d606 [11:17] Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 22 [11:17] Memory at 902c0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] [11:17] Capabilities: [11:17] ^ that too [11:17] Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel [11:17] nsudo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:17] ok [11:17] bad nsudo! [11:17] TheHustle: they'll have a high-end VHS deck and a timebase corrector that might well solve a lot of it [11:17] sorry folks [11:18] What is the shortcut button for exchanging language layouts while/before typing some text ? [11:18] i was trying to paste my errors [11:18] I had to deal with bad VHS recordings for a thing we did for the worlds fair... it was miserable cleanup work [11:18] thank you gordonjcp [11:18] I did add some extra lines at /etc/apt/source.list concerning some older Ubuntu version of VirtualBox and I think it downloaded everything and installed, now I already removed those extra lines, how do I uninstall those extras apt-get has installed? [11:18] Hi guys. Can't get Tomboy to start. Tried from regular menu, gnome-do, terminal and with sudo... the app tries to start (appears on panel) and then fails. Here's the paste bin of sudo tomboy --debug http://www.ebuyer.com/245715-sumvision-cyclone-live-media-player-adaptor-version-2-1080p-avdv000473 [11:19] nice pastebin.. [11:19] :) [11:19] ^ [11:19] lol [11:19] Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio C have issues fixing it can someone help [11:19] nsudo, What's up bro? [11:19] Cheapshot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210817/ ??? :D [11:19] no drivers for that device man [11:19] WACOMalt, soo umm yea, that command you said, says can't locate nvidia :P [11:20] really? [11:20] RedViper, yes you need drivers for that [11:20] that's... odd [11:20] nsudo, Dinched. Have you tried looking on System Settings - Addtional Drivers? [11:20] random_, well I suppose you could just try to install over [11:20] oh sorry! [11:20] do nvidia* === prodigy_ is now known as prodigy [11:20] my audio not working tried to mod probe but no help, yes says no additional drivers [11:20] How do I reset Software Source from Update Manager app? [11:21] fabiam_: reset? you mean to defaults? [11:21] cfhowlett, yes! [11:21] Cheapshot: Ok, what drivers and where can I get them and how do I download and install them when the computer can't connect to the net? [11:21] nsudo, Gimme a sec bro, I've got an Intel Audio device, lemme see if it's the same one. [11:21] ok [11:22] random_, did you get the change? I said you have to use nvidia* not nvidia [11:22] WACOMalt, yes i got it, did it, and it finished [11:22] I didn't read it carefully and I add all those lines at mu source list : https://gist.github.com/3736756 [11:22] cool, here's hoping :) [11:22] hi guys, you know a easy way to modify gdm theme? [11:23] WACOMalt, so should i restart now? since i did that, or install ubuntu-desktop first? [11:23] random_, I am making extra sure you reinstalled ubuntu-desktop afterwards, because I didnt and broke my install :X [11:23] nsudo, http://askubuntu.com/questions/150215/my-sound-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-12-04 [11:23] And I think it got lots of not Precise upgrades. Now my system is completly out of order. [11:23] RedViper, What kind of desktop computer is that? model === yavor_ is now known as y4h0 [11:23] thanks bro [11:23] Give that a bash and tell me if it works [11:23] I already removed those extra lines and keep just the first one. [11:23] crizis: sorry I'll try that again [11:23] /) [11:24] random_, and yes you should restart after reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [11:24] Hi guys. Can't get Tomboy to start. Tried from regular menu, gnome-do, terminal and with sudo... the app tries to start (appears on panel) and then fails. Here's the paste bin of sudo tomboy --debug http://pastebin.com/zC0DXCWd [11:24] WACOMalt, hvnt done that yet :P i thought this would kill my gui desktop but it didnt [11:24] And I apt-get update and nothing. [11:24] Any ideas please?? [11:24] and download the nvidia driver .run file from nvidia and run that in tty1 when you restart, before logging in [11:24] you will have to sudo lightdm stop, then run the install, then afterwards sudo lightdm start [11:24] fabiam_ what happen with your desktop? [11:24] afd, What's wrong with gedit? [11:25] z1gg3h: I need to search for a tomboy note [11:25] I have thousands [11:25] not sure I can find it without opening the app itself [11:25] blackshirt, nothing. The bad thing happen to my network. Why? [11:25] afd, Ah. And rather than using a roundabout way of converting them, getting Tomboy to work would be easier. Not as fun though XD [11:25] afd, what's the output when you run it through the terminal? [11:26] blackshirt, is there a way to restore default packages? [11:26] z1gg3h: I'm going to migrate away to EverPad or something after seeing the review on omgubuntu.. but for now... I need access [11:26] Cheapshot: Ok, what drivers and where can I get them and how do I download and install them when the computer can't connect to the net? [11:26] fabiam_ exactly,what the problem is? You can't connect to net? [11:26] And uninstall those from old releases? [11:26] blackshirt, no [11:27] blackshirt, exactly. I can't [11:27] so? [11:27] z1gg3h: this is what I get when typing just "tomboy" http://pastebin.com/urQUCr5y [11:27] so he cant download the drivers he needs [11:27] hod do I restore it? [11:27] classic catch22 [11:27] tomboy sucks [11:27] fabiam_ what do you want to restore? [11:28] afd, Certainly alot of [11:28] blackshirt, the default Ubuntu 12.04 packages and nothing more. [11:28] RedViper, Has the network ever worked or did the problem just occur? [11:28] blackshirt, I already removed those lines about preview versions of Virtualbox from here. [11:28] Not gonna lie, I feel like a boss working on actual professional VFX in ubuntu :) I love this OS. [11:28] WACOMalt, So did that, two monitors now work, turned off the mirror, and switched the resolutions to the proper ones, i dont have a nvidia settings anymore, not sure what i should do now, cause im almost certain i need a nvidia driver to be installed to work with games decently. [11:28] z1gg3h: you think there are certain .note files it can't access? (I don't care if I lose the odd one... I have a backup somewhere) [11:29] random_, wait ok.. so you dont have NVidia at all? [11:29] did you run the nvidia installer from their site? [11:29] Could someone help me please???? [11:29] can anyone tell me something about my earlier question? I cannot find a lot of info on the ext4 quota feature in Ubuntu [11:29] On 12.04 I have enabled quota with tune2fs on my ext4 filesystem, now it cannot be mounted anymore (unsupported features). Is this expected? [11:29] z1gg3h: I was considering making a backup, removing and reinstalling tomboy... [11:29] I did add some extra lines at /etc/apt/source.list concerning some older Ubuntu version of VirtualBox and I think it downloaded everything and installed, now I already removed those extra lines, how do I uninstall those extras apt-get has installed? [11:29] I did add some extra lines at /etc/apt/source.list concerning some older Ubuntu version of VirtualBox and I think it downloaded everything and installed, now I already removed those extra lines, how do I uninstall those extras apt-get has installed? [11:29] Cheapshot: Well I recently replace the motherboard and since there it has not worked. Now I don't know what motherboard it is as someone else put it in. [11:29] WACOMalt, hvnt done anything besided the purge nvidia and install of ubuntu desktop, hvnt downloaded any other drivers [11:30] random_, ah ok [11:30] afd, What other programs do you have with 'tom' in the name? Is there anything else? [11:30] PLease????? [11:30] random_, then go to nvidia.com, download the newest drivers as a .run file [11:30] fabiam_ just remove that lines, and rerun apt-get update [11:30] !patience|fabiam_: [11:30] fabiam_:: 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/ [11:30] WACOMalt, Ok [11:30] Is there a way? [11:30] z1gg3h: nothing as far as I can tell (tried gnome-do for "tom" and then scrolled down) [11:30] random_, then switch to tty1 (ctl+alt+f1) and run sudo lightdm stop [11:30] blackshirt, I already did that. [11:30] afd, Actually, try renaming the .tomboy directory and see if that makes a difference [11:31] do i need binutils and stuff? [11:31] 你们好啊 [11:31] 有说中文的么 [11:31] 嘿嘿 [11:31] abine, English bro [11:31] random_, shouldnt, just the driver [11:31] random_, then cd to the directory and do sudo ./Nvidia*...*.run [11:31] remove the lines you have been added and then run apt-get update [11:31] once its done do sudo lightdm [11:31] !cn [11:31] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [11:31] blackshirt, ok ,then? [11:32] !ppa-purge [11:32] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [11:32] WACOMalt, alright easy enough, i just remember back in the days where i would do gdm stop, have to install binutils and what not then compile the driver etc :P [11:32] and if you're lucky you will have the newest NVidia installed and the settings for it. It wont show up as installed in "additional drivers" but it will be. [11:32] fabiam_ if you want uninstall some packages that came from old release, you can do it [11:32] haha yeah [11:32] z1gg3h: so that started tomboy ok without any notes in it [11:32] offtopic: does anyone know where to buy Intels ULV ivy-bridge CPU's? [11:32] WACOMalt, THe workaround that is to install mesa-utilities, incase you didn't know [11:32] I'll try copying the old notes to the new tomboy folder and see how it goes. thanks for your help ;) [11:32] workaround to what? [11:33] afd, So tomboy works perfectly fine now. Just without it's notes? [11:33] z1gg3h, what does mesa-utilities solve? [11:33] there's no notes in it since I renamed the folder. It recreated the tomboy folder aside the renamed one. [11:33] /server irc.freenode.net [11:33] blackshirt, there is no command to remove those packages, or to let me know what is not being used ? [11:33] z1gg3h: I'll try copying the old notes across [11:34] WACOMalt, I misread your comment, disregard mine. Still half asleep XP [11:34] fabiam_ have you install something? [11:34] afd, Worth a shot! [11:34] haha [11:34] I did change the Update Manager Setting as well, is there a way to rever it to default? [11:34] I'd like to sleep... 4:34am here, but I have to finish this shot before I go to work tomorro... today. [11:34] blackshirt, what do you mean? [11:34] afd, But only copy 5-10 at a time. That way, you can more or less pin point what note is causing the problem [11:34] Cheapshot: Any idea? [11:35] fabiam_ sorry, i think you don't need remove packages [11:35] z1gg3h: that could take a while :S there are 400 or so... [11:35] afd, Do 100 at a time then. [11:35] 你们好啊 [11:35] blackshirt, do you think if I reset my machine now after a apt-get update everything will be all right? [11:35] hi [11:35] !cn| abine [11:35] abine: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [11:35] I will just disable the ext4 quota feature again [11:36] ubottu [11:36] 你在中文的么 [11:36] 嘿嘿 [11:36] 我刚刚用ubuntu [11:36] RedViper, Sorry im out of ideas at the moment, basically the problem seems to be that after swapping the new motherboard your ubuntu doesnt recognize the ethernet device and you have no Internet connection, you would need to install new drivers . Maybe someone else could be more of help here. [11:36] z1gg3h: you're a gentleman and a scholar (it told me to skip one note and I'm guessing that one is lost) [11:36] z1gg3h: got a flattr? [11:37] is there a livestream procaster for linux? or any screencast software? [11:37] afd, A what now? XD [11:37] WACOMalt, So.. run me throught those commands again, i tryed, but failed. note tho, im using gnome classic, would it be different? [11:38] random_, I dont think so, lightdm is still the main manager [11:38] I'll pm you the full commands [11:38] Cheapshot: Well how can I check through the terminal the Motherboard specifications? And what drivers do I get? How can I get them? [11:38] WACOMalt there's kazam, sound isn't very good, tho [11:38] WACOMalt, i've heard of some stuff, ffmpeg can be used to stream [11:38] z1gg3h: micropayments system for tipping people - look it up. I intend to use it whenever I get support online from anyone. pop a link on your website and direct people to it if they want to tip you. crowdsource some pocket money for all your good deads ;) [11:39] afd, Ahh. That's cool. But nah. I don't believe in money for help/knoweldge. Just be a nice person, and that's payment enough XP [11:39] hello, ubuntu 12.04 user here. often not able to open PDF files sent to me. how can i go about solving this problem [11:39] i get something like this: "aution: filename not matched: @_Reservierungsbest\?\?\?\?\?tigung_078435AF.pdf" [11:40] z1gg3h: well it has it's advantages... if you're a guru that could make a living out of it or are poor and need extra cash etc. also flattr is good for non-IT related stuff like tipping for online articles / music / podcasts etc [11:41] afd, I'll look into it mate. Cheers for the info. [11:41] z1gg3h: and thanks for your time. may FSM bless the FOSS community! [11:42] Cheapshot: Well how can I check through the terminal the Motherboard specifications? And what drivers do I get? How can I get them? [11:42] afd, No worries mate. Keep safe, and sane. [11:43] RedViper, your ethernet controller is : Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet [11:43] RedViper, I gotta leave to work now, but maybe someone can help you, just include that your ethernet card is Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet, and your ubuntu doesnt recognize it after motherboard swap [11:44] Cheapshot: Thanks man, be safe :D [11:45] guys i just read that ubuntu has a problem extracting files with an ä in them. mine has an ä. could that be the reason i cant open it? === itsrachelfish is now known as rachelfish [11:46] my pc finds the keybord in startup and i can get in to the bios and stuff. but when ubuntu cd boot up and im going to change language in instalation the keybord dont work, any ideas ? :\ [11:46] where can i find a list of kernel boot options for the livecd? [11:46] Siegel-: I'm in China and ubuntu choked on some files with Chinese character names. renaming those files fixed. [11:47] @Siegel- it's possible, you should rename it [11:47] hey [11:47] A little issue with the kernel [11:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210814/ [11:47] diresixsens: it wont even let me rename it [11:47] tried that [11:47] My computer is not picking up internet because I recently changed my motherboard, my ethernet card is Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet and my Ubuntu 10.04 is not working with it. Can someone help? [11:48] @Siegel what's the error when you try to rename? [11:48] Anyone wanna see what I do for a living on Ubuntu? [11:48] WACOMalt, yes [11:48] second... shutter is frozen :X [11:48] WACOMalt: show it [11:48] http://www.blindmanstudio.com/dropbox/Workspace%201_007.png [11:49] I decided upgrade to version 12.10 :P [11:49] Nuke. professional VFX software. Currently painting out wires from a greenscreen shoot [11:49] [11:49] WACOMalt: And your point is? [11:49] fabiam_: it IS beta on 12.10 you know... [11:49] I didnt have one? hence why I asked if anyone was interested in seeing :P [11:49] diresixsens: let m e look again [11:50] redviper, i think maybe you need some firmawre for your chipset [11:50] WACOMalt: this channel is for serious conversation. [11:50] cfhowlett, yes, what can I do. [11:50] diresixsens: "an error occured while adding files to the archive" [11:50] WACOMalt, #ubuntu-offtopic :) [11:50] RedViper, I asked, people said show it... excuuuuse me! [11:50] fabiam_: merely pointing out that you're upgrading to a beta product. Personally, I stick with LTS releases only [11:50] I'm mostly just proud that I have ubuntu running good enough to stay in it instead of windows now for my job. [11:51] blackshirt: Ok where can I download it form for my specific computer? [11:51] diresixsens: i opened it with google thanks [11:51] hello all, how is file extension association arranged in Ubuntu? I know about right click a file and "open with" but I cannot associate an NZB file to the program NNTPGrab. [11:51] Who can point me in the right direction? I've googled around but cannot find anything useful. [11:51] WACOMalt: please share some details on the #ubuntustudio channel [11:51] cfhowlett, no way, beta rocks, and I can help folks with testing the issues also. [11:51] nope, now I'm all sad. :( [11:51] WACOMalt: Next time don't ask something silly. [11:51] my pc finds the keybord in startup and i can get in to the bios and stuff. but when ubuntu cd boot up and im going to change language in instalation the keybord dont work, any ideas ? :\ [11:52] WACOMalt, seems cool man! [11:52] redviper, exactly i don't know..i'm not sure..but,on repo there are some firmware available [11:52] how is "hey you guys wanna see my ubuntu?" not ubuntu related? thanks fabiam_! [11:52] @Siegel : Sorry, i have to go to work, tip : be sure to be logged as root...

[11:53] Dammit! [11:53] as is sunbird (is that still around?) [11:53] knxville: The page is not loading? [11:53] Is there a way after upgrading to 12.10 to be back to 12.04.1 ? [11:53] I've be renicing the damn process and still my computer runs as slow as nokia 3210 running compiz [11:54] fabiam, don't worry [11:54] RedViper: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=AR8152+linux+driver [11:54] fabiam_, restore the disk image you chose to make before a major upgrade? [11:55] WACOMalt, yes [11:55] WACOMalt, possible? [11:55] fabiam_ 12.10 would be release as soon as on next month... [11:55] fabiam_: I'm afraid not, the only way would be to reinstall [11:56] well.. [11:56] fabiam_ i think maybe better you don't reinstall or trying to downgrade [11:57] blackshirt, yes, that is the work I was looking forward. Downgrade. Is it possible? === wesley is now known as Guest14984 [11:58] fabiam_ tehnically it was possible, but i was not recommended, and you should have bit knowledge on apt system [11:59] blackshirt, well, I will stick with it then. [11:59] Is 12.10 a LTS version? [11:59] Downgrading is alot more hassle than just backing up your files and doing a clean re-install. [11:59] Fabiam_ you have been warning, if you trying to downgrade, maybe could break your system and makes your system rendered unusable [12:00] I wouldent downgrade [12:00] Whats your email clients of choice? [12:00] where in the install process can you specify what video mode grub uses in 12.04LTS? [12:00] fabiam_: 12.04 is LTS [12:00] blackshirt, no, I am not downgrading, I will stick with 12.10, if it is too problematic yet I wiull esintall 12.04.1 [12:00] Linux and ATI hate each other!! [12:00] fabiam_: 12.10 is not LTS [12:00] Hi GirlyGirl! [12:01] I promisse I will let you know what happened here, including a advice to upgrade ready for you. [12:02] fabiam_ 14.04 wil be the next LTS [12:02] MonkeyDust, and when 14.4 will be launched? [12:02] WACOMalt, So yea..after fighting with it some, i got it installed, but now no second screen, cant hit apply, its grey'd out. lol [12:02] what does "Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!" mean? [12:02] fabiam_: 2014 [12:02] fabiam_: 2014. Right now use 12.04 [12:03] April [12:03] fabiam_ maybe better you stay on your system now [12:03] random_, did you launch it as sudo?

[12:03] Anyone who can help me? [12:04] I think it's the cause of my low booting [12:04] *slow [12:04] fabiam_ you can upgrade [12:05] misswing firmwares for "radeon" [12:06] WACOMalt, im going to leave it for now, [12:06] ok, sorry thats not working out. after the clean install like that I was able to change everything I needed [12:06] you could try installing from additional drivers again now that noveau is completely gone [12:07] Ok. In what sense "I'm using too many partitions"? The maximum can't be overcame! I never had this such problem and always had this number of partitions [12:08] I just did an ubuntu release-upgrade. Nothing more [12:08] nannes, that should no problem [12:08] nannes, are you using 12.10? [12:08] i am trying to set the ubuntu client authenticate via LDAP but although i follow the steps mentioned https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication it didn't worked, any body ehlp me on this? [12:08] Indeed, I'm here for that reason, blackshirt :) [12:08] fabiam_: no, 12.04.1 [12:09] do you guys really like ubuntu unity? [12:09] suyash_: Unity sucks, for a lot of reasons [12:09] hi [12:09] is there a way to enable the repository universe/multiverse in the command line? [12:09] suyash_, I like it usually, but I dont like the title bar merging with the top panel. I installed gnome just for when I wanna use it [12:09] diegoviola: sure. edit your sources.list [12:09] ogzy, you should have fully working ldap server to serve [12:09] diegoviola: Just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add their deb lines [12:10] ty [12:10] (they usually are already there) [12:10] suyash_, I don't love it or hate it, I think it is the most usable one far from lots other. [12:10] thanks [12:11] diegoviola, whats is repository universe/multiverse? [12:11] fabiam_: the repo name, community, etc [12:11] blackshirt: i have ldap server running, ldapsearch is working, can give mor details from conf files [12:12] Hey guys, the volume control on my ubuntu doesn't work properly: It only functions as a mute control (when I slide it the volume is either mute or the same volume no matter where I drag the bar to. I'm using an Asus A54H if it matters. === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb [12:12] ogzy, you don't explain your error...

( Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet ) [12:15] i have thousand if not more pictures in a folder, ll or ls doesnt show all of them in my terminal window (ssh in to the ubuntu server) is there some way of seeing all files? (Need to check all the timestamps on the files) [12:16] knxville: erm, what do you mean "it doesn't show all of them"? They scroll off the screen? Try "ls -l | less" [12:16] jrib: exactly.. I can't scroll up and see them.. [12:16] knxville: then use less, though why you would ever visually inspect thousands is baffling [12:17] tortib: You still around? [12:18] jrib ls -l | less sorts them by date? === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [12:19] knxville, I think you need to worry about your buffer length for ssh [12:19] Does anyone know where I can download these drivers for my desktop computer as my eth0 is not connecting? ( Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet ) [12:20] Hey all. I've shared my connection from ppp0 (a 3G netstick) to the connection on eth0 (a router that I'm connected to via the WAN port) to give internet access to the other computers connected to the router, which works well. However, I can't seem to access other computers on that network, which somewhat makes sense because I'm connected to the WAN port and not as a client. Is it possible to access them somehow? [12:20] knxville, if using xterm I think you can set the scrollback length with some command, try man xterm or whatever your terminal is. [12:20] knxville: -t will have ls print them sorted by modification time [12:21] little question, does ubuntu have nVidia Optimus support out of the box? Or do I have to hop through burning rings? [12:22] Just set up samba on Pangolin but no computers in the lan can see the samba server but the samba server can see all the other machines in the lan. What might be amiss?

I'm using an Asus A54H if it matters. [12:25] RedViper, run sudo dhclient eth0 [12:26] how do i access samba with ip? [12:26] cfhowlett, coffee's getting cold :) [12:26] BluesKaj: can't help with that. Ubuntu issues; maybe [12:27] what does "Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!" mean? I get this when I type xen [12:27] Use \\ip-address-samba-server from windows explorer from windows client [12:27] cfhowlett, none right now , but thanks for offering [12:27] BluesKaj: OK [12:28] anyone knows a good program to make NEW file extensions within Ubuntu? I want NZB files associated with NNTPGrab. [12:28] !defaultapp | sebas_ [12:28] sebas_: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [12:28] hey guys, I'm missing some packages I want to install via apt-get [12:28] libpngwriter0-dev libpngwriter0c2 libjpeg-prog libavcodec52 libavformat52 [12:28] hmm note to self, Unity-2D makes all my programs run better. [12:28] any idea how I could get hold of them? Ubuntu 12 [12:29] default solution does not do the trick [12:29] cannot find any app to associate and cannot add program by hand to associate [12:29] sebas_: you should explain why, but I must leave now [12:29] BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210917/ - I need the drivers to get the internet working [12:29] gazzwi86, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:30] BlueKaj: no [12:30] gazzwi86: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:31] RedViper, the drivers are probly on your system , they're just not loading . do an ifconfig , and paste that pls [12:31] open with gives me three browsers to open an NZB file.. then I choose "show other applications" and I see a list of progs.. but not the program I'd like to associate. [12:31] gazzwi86, is this for openCV? [12:31] it seems I cannot add the NNTPGrab program [12:31] WACOMalt: Yeh [12:31] nzb is a comic book file sebas_ ? [12:32] if so, apparantly following this guide, but replacing step 2 with steps 1-3 ftom this guide http://www.ozbotz.org/opencv-installation/ will make it work :D [12:32] nope NZB files are for binary usenet [12:32] according to a random comment about missing those packages in ubuntu [12:32] looks like you may not even need thsoe packages because the replacement steps dont show it at all [12:32] NZB file is kinda like a torrent file.. it refers to binary [12:33] NZB is a usenet reference file [12:33] so yes, much like a .torrent file. referencing where to download files from for whatever package. [12:33] WACOMalt: like I said [12:33] sorry didnt see until After I posted it [12:34] BluesKaj: Anysuggestions? [12:34] But I find it weird that Ubuntu does not know the NZB file extentiob [12:34] But I find it weird that Ubuntu does not know the NZB file extention [12:34] wow really??? [12:34] RedViper, I postted above , do ifconfig , then paste as before [12:34] what on earth is an NZB file? [12:34] read up [12:34] B-) [12:34] I immagine sabnzbd is available for linux [12:34] it should handle them fine [12:35] what's it for? [12:35] python technically [12:35] I can't get xp to load after a dualboot setup with ubuntu [12:35] what does "Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!" mean? I get this when I type xen [12:35] its a download manager for nzb files [12:35] runs as a web server though, takes a bit of setup [12:35] !grub2 | daddy [12:35] daddy: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [12:35] ... bringing me back round to the original question, what's an nzb file? [12:35] BluesKaj: I have done ifconfig's, I know what the problem is, I need to get the drivers for my eth0 device so my internet may work. [12:35] WACOMalt: yes the program does work fine just like NNTPGrab wich is even better imo.. but I still cannot open an NZB file and the correct prog will start. [12:35] http://sabnzbd.org/download/ has apt commands for it [12:36] WACOMalt: I'm following the opencv installation guide atm, but will use that as and when I bump into issues! thanks! [12:36] oohh so this is about the proper associations [12:36] gazzwi86, np, I know nothing about openCV so hopefully it works XD [12:36] NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from NNTP (Usenet) servers [12:36] redviper, i thin i can help you, but not sure [12:36] WACOMalt: YES it is [12:37] except I didn't lose grub, I seem to have lost the other OS [12:37] sorry I havent touched that. I'm not sure what handler sabnzb uses to open them and Im sure it doesnt run as an actual aplication [12:37] I want to associate an NZB file to the Usenet download program NNTPGrab [12:37] redviper, i think i can help you, but not sure [12:37] gordonjcp: an nzb is somewhat similar to a torrent I suppose, but for usenet. [12:38] gordonjcp: think an index of every usenet post that comprises a single thread [12:38] Every usenet binary download program works with NZB files in Ubuntu.. thats not the problem.. the problem is that Ubuntu does not know what to do with an NZB file.. [12:38] RedViper, we need to know the NIC card , lspci | grep -i net [12:38] sebas_, try right clicking file and choose open with, then try custom command [12:38] I know sabnzb is apparantly "sabnzbplus" for the command [12:38] not sure on the other [12:38] I am having a problem booting. See here for detail: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210943/ [12:38] johnm: oh [12:38] Hey all. I've shared my connection from ppp0 (a 3G netstick) to the connection on eth0 (a router that I'm connected to via the WAN port) to give internet access to the other computers connected to the router, which works well. However, I can't seem to access other computers on that network, which somewhat makes sense because I'm connected to the WAN port and not as a client. Is it possible to access them somehow? [12:39] johnm: well, discussing piracy is generally discouraged in here [12:39] would doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade fix it? [12:39] WACOMalt: to get custom command I need to reset it first? [12:40] sebas_, I'm not sure sorry, I only recently switched to ubuntu. Just search for how to change file associations in 12.04 [12:40] So aptitude can't handle multiarch. It'd have been nice to know that before installing ia32-libs. What should I do now? [12:40] WACOMalt: I do the whole day already [12:40] ah ok.. lemme read up a bit then [12:40] But openwith does not work [12:40] considering either uninstalling ia32-libs and all the deps with aptitude and then installing them with apt-get, but I'm not sure what's the right way to go [12:42] sebas_, ok do this, right click on the nzb file, go to PROPERTIES [12:42] go to open with tab and choose Add which will be greyed out unles syou unselect the default app. [12:42] gordonjcp: It doesn't imply piracy, but I suspect thats the primary use case, yes :) - none the less, I was simply answering your question directly and I'm opting to ignore the rest ;) [12:42] (also, if I'm going to stop using aptitude, I want to know how to make apt-.get behave similarly to aptitude... probably fiddling with /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/) [12:42] blackshirt: Yes please help would be good. Do you know where I can download these drivers for my desktop computer as my eth0 is not connecting? ( Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet ) Is this the right site? - https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/ [12:42] choose other applications and choose something like document viewer and Add should become ungeyed [12:43] ack I;m sorry that still isnt "custom command :/ === Nan is now known as Guest83316 [12:44] WACOMalt: hehe yes and that too won;t work.. [12:44] sebas_, this goes into detail on how to MANUALLY specify the command. it's kinda in depth [12:44] not sure why they removed that from gnome? O_o [12:44] RedViper, http://askubuntu.com/questions/127151/ethernet-conection-not-working-atheros-ar8152-os-12-04 [12:45] salve a tutti [12:45] WACOMalt: I've never worked with Gnome.. I use KDE for years but want to switch to the new Ubuntu. [12:45] sebas_, you'll come back to kde :) [12:46] BluesKaj: haha :D yeah?? [12:46] yeah ' [12:46] sebas_, I've been on gnome for years technically, but only recently came back to linux in general. Gnome has changed.. not for the better I'm afraid. [12:46] * cousteau reads the package description for aptitude and thinks devs are nuts [12:46] BluesKaj: why? :) (I love KDE) [12:46] qualcuno parla italiano?

[12:47] WACOMalt: First I thought that Unity was a replacement of Gnome.. seems not to be [12:48] yeah its some odd mashup of gnome, unity, metacity, and compiz [12:48] I dont quite get where one ends and the others begin === rainaaa is now known as strudelteig [12:49] BluesKaj: I'm trying it out seriously for about a week now.. it feels different yes but I am not dissapointed yet! I only want to fix this file association for the .nzb files. [12:49] WACOMalt: hehehe same here I'm confused by that.. but I must say that I like it till now [12:50] blackshirt: You there? [12:50] yeah I dont mind Unity too much, but I think Id still prefer it if they had just cleaned up the old UI rather than reinventing the wheel [12:50] WACOMalt, sebas_, if you don't have any more support questions, you may continue to discuss the differences between GNOME and Unity in either #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopick, please leave this channel open for support. [12:50] #ubuntu-offtopic* [12:50] yes sir [12:51] actually here is a kinda support question, are there any known issues in switching to gnome completely in current ubuntu?

[12:54] i would like to ask if it makes any sence to install the quantal (beta) instead of precise? [12:55] rigo_, i wouldn't. [12:55] rigo_, just because of the number of bugs I've seen being filed against the current quantal versions [12:55] ok. this is enough for me :) [12:55] hi [12:56] and i always use a netinst version and build my own way. (im a beginner... its just for fun and learn for me) [12:56] thanks! [12:56] rigo_, quantal is running ok here , but there are some minor issues with nvidia drivers [12:56] rigo_ also ask in #ubuntu+1 [12:57] i c. thats to bad. i have an at3iont-i deluxe. with nvidia of corse. [12:57] im planing now to try out the mythtv-live cause the tevii s470 will arrive tomorrow. im excited :) [12:58] I said minor issues rigo_ , nothing that installing nvidia-current won't solve [12:58] I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and installed apache2, now I'm trying to install php5 and it says "To install php5 this items must be removed: Apache http server - high speed threaded model. apache2-mpm-worker".

[14:01] was there some metapackage I could remove to get the menu bars where they should be? [14:01] why does my computer get DHCP IP when I have set it manually? [14:02] Vooloo, you might want to check the net settings on the router [14:02] Vooloo, set what manually? [14:02] BluesKaj: the IP [14:02] Vooloo, and then the network configuration on the PC [14:02] trying to print something with CUPS and the web interface says job completed [14:02] open Synaptic Package manager and search for nvidia [14:02] but nothing is on the printer nor did it make it tot he printer queue [14:02] c_smith: why would router give me IP if I have configued it manually? [14:03] Vooloo, are you using network manager , if so manual settings will be over ridden [14:03] BluesKaj: dont remember, but I think so, in there it says my static ip [14:03] Vooloo, because the router gives ANY machine an IP if it's set to that. [14:04] Vooloo, does your IP change from the static setting [14:04] Vooloo, or I should say it attempts to [14:04] Just wondering.. what's Natty's EOL date? [14:04] BluesKaj: what do you mean? I have set it method: manual in ipv4 settings [14:04] c_smith: but the DHCP client needs to accept the IP no?

[14:06] October 1? [14:06] Vooloo, so what is the problem exactly , you have a static IP behind the router [14:07] BluesKaj: I get DHCP IP from router when I want to use my static IP [14:07] Vooloo: the router will always assign an IP-address even if you tell your computer to set one manually. The preferred way of setting static IP is to assign it in the Router :) [14:07] how can I tell if I'm using manufacturer wifi drivers or kernel ones? my lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204994/ my lsmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204993/ [14:07] bkc_: doesnt on win 7 [14:07] Elesa: not sure sorry, but it is sometime in october [14:07] Vooloo, if the router is set to always assign an IP to a MAC address, it will always assign that IP. if it isnt, your router is weird. [14:08] Vooloo: it does... but win7 doesn't really support multiple IP-addresses on a single card, hence why it doesn't show up... [14:08] Vooloo, i've set up numerous networks in that fashion, 99% of all routers will allow you to assign an IP by hardware MAC address. [14:08] okay, they were the appmenu-* packages [14:08] Vooloo, also, don't compare Windows to Ubuntu ;P [14:08] and this router sucks because I cant select what IP to assign [14:08] Hi.

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 [15:10] that's what it is.

Delete more GiB again, and soon the message returns. df-h shows a home size of 261G, with 247G used but only 714M available (use%: 100%). Which leaves 13GiB unaccounted for. I suspect a hardware problem. Is there a test I can run to rule that out? [15:15] the shared partition is ntfs, because linux reads and writes to ntfs way better than win reads and writes to ext partition [15:15] iljo: But if I remember, there was some sort of option during the install that affords such a sharing of documents, and I'm not sure what it does, maybe someone here can help me out with this.

[15:17] OerHeks: No. [15:17] h00k, 12.04.1 LTS [15:17] iljo: And you can place links to My Documents in your home folder as well. [15:17] morning, then it is not a Trim issue. [15:17] h00k: Ran disk analyzer. The results are a little complicated, but it looks like I should still have lots of space. [15:17] usr13: that's what i've been after, thanks [15:17] BitWraith: yeah, that will have nouveau enabled by default [15:17] OerHeks: Yes. [15:18] BitWraith: provided you're not using the nVidia driver instead [15:18] OerHeks: And DiskUtility shows the disk as "healthy." [15:18] h00km as for nouveau being enabled, I just set up a Gentoo chroot, got the x serber and mesa working in it... gentoo apps run inside the chroot have GL working, a mesa app running outside it (on the Gentoo X server) still does not [15:18] Is it possible that my CPU is using both cores, even if only one core shows up in cpuinfo?? [15:18] iljo: You're welcome. Anything else we can do? === Jens is now known as Guest74305 [15:18] as far as I know, the only difference between the two is the mesa version/compile time options [15:18] usr13: no, thanks, you've been more than useful [15:19] BitWraith: It's out of my area there, then, apologies [15:19] iljo: Ok. [15:19] itguru, try system monitor [15:19] morning: is the filesystem reservation still 5%? [15:20] if I set up Ubuntu with the binary nvidia driver, GL sortof works, but the machine randomly freezes up... It would be very nice if I could get nouveau working. :-/ [15:20] Hello room [15:20] sipior: Nor sure what is meant by "filesystem reservation" and where that would be shown. [15:20] Hello room [15:20] I dont know morning [15:20] I am mba student [15:20] sorry [15:20] morning: have a look at the "tune2fs" man page, under the "-m" switch option. [15:20] Sunit: Thanks anyway. [15:20] sunit: Do you have a question about Ubuntu? [15:20] Sipior: will do. [15:21] :) U welcome i want to study technology [15:21] morning: there's nothing wrong with the disk (in all likelihood). the default reservation (for the superuser) is 5% of the filesystem, which i notice is the exact amount you're missing. [15:21] I love ubuntu os i installed it in my laptop [15:21] it is good [15:21] sunit: this is the Ubuntu Support Channel, if you don't have a specific support question, you are directed to head over to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chatter [15:22] if i upgrade with the minor release now.....is there a way ....i can ignore kernel upgrade [15:22] precise 12.04.1 (minor release) [15:22] I updated ubutu too [15:22] mafiaboy: It's called "point release" === fredsted- is now known as fredsted [15:23] how so many people dissconected at a time? [15:23] sunit: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [15:24] usr123 : so can i ignore kernel upgrade....as it may cause vmware or nvidia drivers to stop work [15:24] okay === zz_scottas is now known as scottas [15:24] on the same network? [15:24] itguru: no idea why it won't show up as 4 cores... It should, a friend of mine has that CPU and it shows up as 4 cores :/ [15:24] sunit: yep. [15:25] Awww, crap! [15:25] Thanks bkc_ [15:25] itguru: also, consider "upgrading" to 64bit ubuntu :) [15:25] itguru: it seems as thou you run the 32bit-pae kernel :) [15:25] might be the problem :) [15:26] bkc_: I am running 64 bit [15:26] ...... [15:26] * itguru goes to double check [15:26] itguru: o.O === Guest31839 is now known as greg22 [15:26] I needed to install the man pages for not just C but C++ as well. I did a google search and found an instruction to do a: "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev glibc-doc" I did that but if I do a "man cout" or "man cin" (something I think should be there for C++) I get that there is no man page for it. What do I need to do to get the man pages for C++ ?? [15:26] os is there a way ...while upgrading ....i can leave the kernel upgrade [15:26] bkc_: Linux Ubuntu 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:26] so* [15:27] thanks shani [15:29] sipior: I'm just a bit lost here. I ran the man page for tune2fs and then tried to run "tune2fs -m". But that just gives me a list of options. So I suppose I'm entering the command wrong. [15:29] Sipior: Or "tune2fs -l". Same story. [15:29] morning: no, but you need to tell it the desired reservation, and the filesystem to act on. i assume your filesystems are all ext3/4? [15:30] morning: so the format would generally be "sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda2", mutatis mutandis. === jakub is now known as jakub_r [15:31] sipior: home is on sda3. Ubuntu is installed on sa1. [15:31] Sipior: that's sda1 [15:31] morning: and that's the volume that is currently full? try dropping the reservation to 1%. [15:33] sipior: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda1. Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. [15:33] morning: could you report the output of "mount | grep -i sda2"? [15:34] sipior: sda3 is where the home directory is, and that's the one reported full. [15:34] Hello, I need help with attaching a script to a keyboard shortcut. Im unsure which command to use. The script is located at ~/bin/brightness_inc.sh [15:34] Hello, I need help with attaching a script to a keyboard shortcut. Im unsure which command to use. The script is located at ~/bin/brightness_inc.sh [15:34] mafiaboy: You can unselect it from the list each time update-manager puts it on the list. You just have to remember to look for a kernel each time before you pull the trigger. [15:34] mafiaboy: You can unselect it from the list each time update-manager puts it on the list. You just have to remember to look for a kernel each time before you pull the trigger. [15:34] morning: i see. and the output of "mount | grep sda3"? [15:34] morning: i see. and the output of "mount | grep sda3"? [15:35] hi [15:35] hi [15:35] oh yay, someone's broken bot. moderators? [15:35] oh yay, someone's broken bot. moderators? [15:35] sipior: /dev/sda3 on /home type ext4 (rw) [15:36] morning: and you can change the reservation on that volume? [15:36] sipior: I suppose I could, with tune2fs. Could you guide me how? [15:37] morning: sure. try "sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda3" [15:37] Solved it! [15:37] sipior: btw, that grep on sda3 showed "sda3" in red. Does that mean something? [15:37] morning: no, grep just colours the search results. [15:38] I needed to install the man pages for not just C but C++ as well. I did a google search and found an instruction to do a: "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev glibc-doc" I did that but if I do a "man cout" or "man cin" (something I think should be there for C++) I get that there is no man page for it. What do I need to do to get the man pages for C++ ?? [15:38] sipior: Clear about the colors. Yes, the reserved blocks have been set to 1%. [15:38] morning: great. what does df show now? [15:39] -sipior: No change on sda3. Same stats. [15:39] morning: interesting. can you paste the line? [15:40] Good morning. I am running a laptop with 11.04LTS which is about to be decommissioned. I have been running Linux/Ubuntu for more than a decade and I tried to do an upgrade only once; it was a mess and I had to do a full fresh install - which I don't mind. Just want to know if the upgrade experience is any better today. Thanks. [15:40] sipior: df reports file system disk space usage [15:40] Sipior: Also, I suspect something more insidious because this has been progressive. Delete 10 GB, all is well, but the next day the home is full again. Delete 10 more, another day, same issue. [15:40] usr13: and? [15:40] sipior: Which line should I paste [15:40] HOw do I open gui printer admin interface from the console? [15:40] (what is the command) [15:40] when CPing files from command line ... in the event that a possible overwrite happens ... does it let me know? or does it automatically overwrite that file? I mean it should have one of thost [Ynandq] or something prompts on a conflict between file contents right? [15:41] morning: the one corresponding to sda3, of course. [15:41] gmachine_24: I've done upgrades online a number of times and usually there is no pboblem as long as the system is up-to-date and the PC stays powered up and does not loose internet conncetion. [15:41] delinquentme, it doesn't ask by default, but I think it has an option to make it ask... see the man page. [15:41] kk [15:42] Sipior: of course, that one: [15:42] /dev/sda3 261G 247G 714M 100% /home [15:42] morning: the problem you describe (deleting and then losing space again)…do you have any jobs running in the background that could be repsonsible? downloading anything? on what timescale does the space get lost again? [15:42] gmachine_24: But you can download the Alternate ISO and do it locally. It would be obviously a little safer, (and faster). [15:43] morning: can you paste the exact command you used to change the reserved blocks percentage? [15:43] sipior: Time scale is maybe overnight. Nothing running. Plain jane apps: Firefox, etc. Windows in a VMWare session. [15:43] Hello, I'm trying out 12.04 and running into a problem where Xorg consumes nearly all of my CPU time when moving my mouse. Is this a known problem with a simple fix? I see many google posts regarding this but nothing with an answer. This is a fresh install. [15:43] sipior: Just use the command and look at the results. Or do: man df #for more details. [15:43] morning: this is not useful, look what file exactly is taking the space [15:44] sipior: sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda3 [15:44] usr13: i think you're a bit confused. [15:44] sipior: Oh, sorry. I see that you were not realy asking what df does? [15:44] morning: i assume there was no output? [15:45] krababbel: I've looked for something unusual that might be taking more space but don't see anything. [15:46] morning: not even in disk usage analyser? [15:46] sipior: No, there was: [15:46] tune2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) [15:46] Setting reserved blocks percentage to 1% (693534 blocks) === chamunks is now known as AFKMunks [15:46] Krababbel: That's where I looked. I find the display a bit confusing, but, doing my best, didn't see anything unusual. [15:47] morning: certainly looks right. [15:47] gmachine_24: Is your laptop fully updated? [15:47] sipior: Yes, that's how the most troublesome problems work. :-) [15:48] morning: about how long has this behaviour been in evidence? [15:48] File permission: I have created a group with "addgroup --system mygroup" and added two users by using "addgroup user1 mygroup" and "addgroup user2 mygroup". Then i give a directory and a file in that directory permission by doing "chmod -R 770 somedir" and set group with "chgrp -R mygroup somedir". But i get access error when logged in as either user, when i ls the directory, or read/write the file? What am i doing wrong? [15:48] sipior: maybe 3 or 4 days. [15:48] usr13, thank you. I am mostly concerned because, in the past, it was my experience and that of others that an upgrade was difficult to pull off and we were better off just doing a clean install. [15:48] usr13, yes. [15:48] usr13, yes to the updated question. [15:49] usr13, I also have a couple full back ups :D [15:49] morning: hmm. i assume you have a reliable backup of your data? [15:49] gmachine_24: Is it 10.04? [15:49] sipior: Yes, the important stuff. [15:49] gmachine_24: or 10.04.1 ? [15:49] no 11.04 [15:50] gmachine_24: 11.04 is not LTS 10.04 and 12.04 is. [15:50] sipior: I'm working on high-alert paranoia regarding my data. [15:50] usr13, support ends in October. No, 11.04 was/is an LTS as well. [15:50] morning: very sensible. [15:50] sipior: Fear does great things. [15:50] usr13, OK maybe I got that wrong. Maybe it's just that support ends next month. [15:51] morning: the root filesystem does not display the same behaviour, correct? [15:51] sipior: I don't see a problem with root. [15:51] gmachine_24: If you want LTS, you will need to upgrade to 11.10 and then to 12.04. [15:51] sipior: Right. [15:51] usr13, so maybe I should just do the fresh install to 12.04 [15:52] Hello everyone, can someone please tell me how I can bring up the buddy window for Pidgin? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and the conversation window opens and only gives me menus for the conversation. I can't add accounts or see my buddies. [15:52] permission problem - I have created a group with "addgroup --system mygroup" and added two users by using "addgroup user1 mygroup" and "addgroup user2 mygroup". Then i give a directory and a file in that directory permission by doing "chmod -R 770 somedir" and set group with "chgrp -R mygroup somedir". But i get access error when logged in as either user, when i ls the directory, or read/write the file? What am i doing wrong? [15:52] usr13, when copying my home directory, there are so many hidden files in there ...... which I'm guessing it would not be good to copy over to a new install? [15:53] morning, fear scares me [15:53] gmachine_24: Me too. [15:53] gmachine_24: That's up to you. I recommend LTS. But as far as upgrading vs fresh install, they both work fine, and always have as far as I can tell, I've yet to have a failure with either. Hidden files are not a problem. [15:54] usr13, you're sure about that hidden files part............. [15:54] gmachine_24: the best approach is to have /home on a separate partition. That way, you can just do a fresh install and leave that partition alone. [15:54] sipior: Well, things are looking up perhaps. I ran df -h again and I see 12G on sda3. [15:54] usr13, good idea. I can do that. [15:54] gmachine_24: Yes, I've done it a number of times. Not a problem at all. [15:54] sipior: Perhaps I ran the command wrong first time or was looking at the wrong output. [15:55] morning: hmm. well, maybe. anyway, glad it's sorted for the moment. [15:55] gmachine_24: But for now, just back up your /home/gmachine/ filesystem and do a fresh install and put your files back and your good to go. [15:56] sipior: Yes. It's "for the moment" that has me on edge. I guess I should just cross my fingers and see what tomorrow brings. [15:56] gmachine_24: When I do fresh installs, I always place /home/ on a separate partition. It just makes a lot of sense to me. [15:57] sipior: Thank you for your time and help. [15:57] permission problem - I have created a group with "addgroup --system mygroup" and added two users by using "addgroup user1 mygroup" and "addgroup user2 mygroup".

But i get access error when logged in as either user, when i ls the directory, or read/write the file? What am i doing wrong? [15:57] morning: no trouble. good luck. [15:58] sipior: Thanks again.

[16:38] ActionParsnip: I'm just worried it will be a waste of time [16:38] The server was different, but I get the same behavior with the same server/port as Mac client. [16:38] ActionParsnip: uh, so I didn't see anything that said bit # or whatever, but I did see the name of the driver that gets listed with lsmod: rtl8192ce [16:40] ActionParsnip, fidel: http://i.imgur.com/o0nu9.jpg I've emulated the desktop decently enough for my satisfaction; now i'm just looking for typical/default ubuntu programs (open-source) to install [16:40] Archae: i'm out ;) [16:40] cya, fidel [16:40] ActionParsnip: Ah, it must be empathy specific. Just apt'd pidgin and that worked immediately. I'll continue to debug. Thanks! [16:41] is there a list of the included apps installed with ubuntu? [16:41] i can always check them individually [16:42] how do i let a user switch to another user 'postgres' without a password prompt [16:42] default apps do change at least slightly with each release - i still think you areheavily wasting time with your basic idea Archae ..anyway havefun & good luck [16:43] Archae: haha class [16:43] it doesn't have to be perfect and up to date; it's merely an emulation [16:44] i've got the desktop look, now what I need are some of the default apps [16:44] that's all i'm going for [16:44] alguna chica de sevilla? [16:44] Archae: Firefox, VLC, Thunderbird, Pidgin, DeVeDe, Libre/OpenOffice, Spotify, Gimp all have Windows ports (Just a list I thought of quickly) [16:44] ActionParsnip: thanks for that :D [16:44] !es > francis [16:44] francis, please see my private message [16:44] Archae: depends what you need the app to do. [16:44] !ot > francis [16:45] Archae: there is a tweak app for Windows to put the Close, Min, Max buttons on the left too if you want [16:45] ActionParsnip: They're on the left in Ubuntu? o_O (been a while) [16:45] Archae, they have been for a while [16:45] does ubuntu livcd initrd (casper) support booting off a ubuntu.iso image? [16:46] ActionParsnip, did you hit the red button again? :P [16:46] my broadcomm wireless (sifi) is not working . pls help. [16:46] TheLordOfTime: thought I could close pidgin main window without killing the chat [16:46] TheLordOfTime: Ah, I never was comfortable with them on the left side. I'll probably leave it as is :P [16:46] !broadcom | swami [16:46] ActionParsnip, :P [16:46] swami: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:46] sorry wifi is not working. [16:46] hi everyone, i configured an adhoc network on my ubuntu-server image using this tuto ( part 2 http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/wifi_ad-hoc) , the prob is that i see that in my Pandaboard that wlan0 is connected and that iwconfig returns the correct parameters but i cant find the network on anyother device! [16:46] i have tried all those . but no use. [16:46] Archae, 'tis why i run everything via keyboard shortcuts, or I do everything in CLI :P [16:47] TheLordOfTime: Yeah, I'm gonna have a fun time setting up kbshortcuts. I wonder if I'll be able to find a bash emulator :O [16:48] My video card only has two outputs.. to add a third monitor can I just slip in another video card and plug it in/ [16:48] ? [16:48] Archae: could use powershell :) [16:48] ActionParsnip: Archae: oh dude it does a lot if you can use it [16:48] hello) [16:48] ActionParsnip: yeah, but it feels obtuse [16:49] Archae: how so? [16:49] Right after installing Ubuntu, when I click on XP in grub it says "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows root>\system\ntoskrnl.exe" Any ideas on what I can do? [16:50] GeekAdmin: get a windows startup/restore disk [16:50] ActionParsnip: gotta go for now, changing classes ;D [16:50] bbl [16:50] How would I change the encoding of a text file to Shift-JIS on ubuntu? [16:51] GeekAdmin: did you resize your disk before installing === mimor_ is now known as mimor [16:51] is any (old) version ubuntu on 486 cpu with 16 mb memory? [16:51] ikonia: no. I just used the standard "install Ubuntu side by side Windows" option while booted to an ubuntu disc [16:51] Sailor_Moon: no [16:51] Sailor_Moon, i'm not sure you'd find any version that'd work on that, that's far too old specs. [16:52] GeekAdmin: your issue is reasonable common when you resize your disk [16:52] ZzBuntu: but Windows was working just fine until after I isntalled ubuntu side by side [16:52] hello [16:52] Sailor_Moon: try puppy, it may work. Or tinycore [16:52] ikonia: Should I just install XP again? [16:52] ikonia: or is there any way I can fix it. I'm thinking its a problem with grub [16:52] GeekAdmin: seems a bit harsh, you could just copy that file over [16:52] when using the live cd, and choosing the CD Boot Helper, when it reboots, will it allow me to choose which disk to install the Ubuntu on? [16:52] GeekAdmin: that does not sound like a grub issue. [16:52] GeekAdmin: it's possible it's looking in the wrong place [16:53] GeekAdmin: but more likely it's gone [16:53] thank you all) i'm going to try tinycore(puppy not work) [16:53] GeekAdmin: mount the disk from ubuntu and check it [16:53] ikonia: Windows only has one partiton. /dev/sda1 [16:53] /j #lubuntu [16:53] GeekAdmin: that doesn't mean it's looking at it [16:53] GeekAdmin: mount the disk and verify the file is there [16:54] who was asking about character encoding? [16:54] ikonia: k good idea. Doing that now [16:54] ZZbuntu: eemon [16:55] ZzBuntu: eamon [16:55] Ah nevermind, I thought I figured it out but the one he is referring to is not listed onmy system [16:55] Sailor_Moon? [16:56] does ubuntu livcd initrd (casper) support booting off a ubuntu.iso image? [16:56] eamon: try saving it with something like gedit, if the encoding is available it should be listed in the 'character encoding' part of the save as prompt [16:56] JyZyXEL: if you are booting the initrd from the livecd - you should boot the livecd [16:56] i have the initrd separated from the livecd [16:57] when using the live cd, and choosing the CD Boot Helper, when it reboots, will it allow me to choose which disk to install the Ubuntu on? [16:57] or from the livecd image [16:57] eamon: maybe, it depends of text processor/editor you use; [16:57] yooyoo: the ubuntu installer will ask where you want to install ubuntu.... [16:58] i was hoping i could tell the initrd where it can find the resources [16:58] yooyoo yes, in the partitioning part [16:58] and those could be in an .iso or a directory [16:58] eamon: iconv -f utf8 -t SHIFT_JIS filename.txt [16:58] eamon: assuming it started as utf8 [16:58] i don't care as long as i don't have to put them in root [16:58] ok, so it will allow me to install it on my choice of the drive, as I have 3 drives and have wiped and dedicated a clean drive to install it [16:59] yooyoo you'll see, top right [16:59] yooyoo: have you tried installing it yet? just use the advanced partition options if you dont see the option you want initially [16:59] eamon: do as trism say; i was forgot about iconv; (iconv is a simple php function, so, maybe, there is any online converter?) [16:59] hi everyone, i configured an adhoc network on my ubuntu-server image using this tuto ( part 2 http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/wifi_ad-hoc) , the prob is that i see that in my Pandaboard that wlan0 is connected and that iwconfig returns the correct parameters but i cant find the network on anyother device! [17:00] ok, thanks halfalife, I just want to make sure before I reboot and then it wants to write over my c drive and mess up my windows os [17:00] Thanked the wrong person, yooyoo [17:00] ikonia: I just checked, and all the files are there. INcluding the system file it says is missing.. [17:00] ikonia: so wierd. [17:00] Any idea how to figure out what encoding to convert from? [17:00] GeekAdmin: ok, so it's either a.) corrupt b.) grub is looking at the wrong place [17:00] Guess and check ^^ [17:01] ikonia: oh ok. I'll check grub. [17:01] eamon: file command? [17:01] eamon: online encoder maybe can recognize encoding? [17:01] halfalife there's over 100 and each one takes about a minute to check [17:01] I was kinda joking. [17:01] But it might work, if all else fails. [17:01] is it better to install with the live cd or the windows installer? I have attempted to install using the windows installer and it will run and then tell me Permission Denied. Is that because I'm not actually logged in as Administrator, even though my account has full Admin rights also? [17:02] yooyoo, are you using Wubi for the installer? [17:02] yes [17:02] If so, right click and Run as Administrator [17:02] yooyoo: ive personally found the disk to do install better... but im a bit controlling of how things get setup [17:02] Running and selecting yes in UAC doesn't work. [17:02] Wubi worked perfectly for me. [17:02] even in windows xp pro? [17:02] Hm, not sure. [17:02] I've only used 7. [17:02] GeekAdmin: you can boot to the install CD and get a recovery prompt and run a chkdsk on the C: [17:02] Uh. XP should let you anyways... without needing extra perms [17:05] www.infect-mu.lt VISIT! :) [17:05] www.infect-mu.lt VISIT! :) [17:05] Infectas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:05] If I set up an NFS export, how are users/groups set? [17:05] www.infect-mu.lt VISIT! :) [17:05] Or how are they managed rather. === Youri is now known as YBook [17:06] ok, so to clarify, installing with the live cd and the the CD Boot Helper, when I reboot will allow me to pick the hard drive to install it on, and will not effect my windows os on another drive. Is that correct? [17:07] yooyoo: provided you select the correct drive. [17:07] yooyoo: as long as you do not choose the windows drive. it will not change it... [17:07] perfect. thanks [17:08] one last question. So for a noob like me, is it better to install using the Windows installer or the live CD? [17:09] yooyoo: use wubi. then there will be no chance of messing it up [17:09] yooyoo: the windows installer (wubi) will install to your windows drive. If you want to install to a separate drive then use the Live CD === kiwirc|test is now known as wok|kiwiirc [17:09] ikonia: sorry but how do I edit grub in 12.04? I'm so lost. lol [17:09] !grub2 | GeekAdmin [17:09] GeekAdmin: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [17:10] GeekAdmin: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [17:10] IdleOne, even when selecting the wiped drive when using wubi, it will install it on my C: drive? [17:10] GeekAdmin: in what way do you want to edit it? [17:10] yooyoo: yes but it will not overwrite anything [17:11] ZzBuntu: no [17:11] yooyoo: To be 100% sure you could remove the drive with windows on it and then put it back in after you have installed ubuntu. That will require you to run a couple of commands after you put the drive back to be able to select windows when you want to boot it but it is simple to do. [17:11] GeekAdmin: do not do what ZzBuntu has said, read the page I gave you [17:11] GeekAdmin: true. editing that file will likely break something if you are not familiar [17:11] ZzBuntu: it's not the way to edit it either as it's a dyanmic file [17:11] ZzBuntu: so you should never edit it directly anywayt [17:11] yooyoo: to install using wubi you need to boot to windows first, then double click the wubi.exe. basically it install ubuntu as a file in windows. [17:12] ikonia: true [17:12] Does somebody know how to get the menubar back after disabling unity? [17:12] ok, so it sounds liking I should use the Live CD to install since, I want to be able to just select which drive to boot from either my C: drive (windows) or F: drive (Ubuntu), yea? [17:12] ZzBuntu: right, so why are you telling people to edit it if you know a.) it will break something b.) you should never edit it [17:12] yooyoo: yes. [17:12] hello! [17:12] ikonia: It's good for trying things quickly, easy to reverse. ill never mention it again. [17:12] thanks all [17:13] ZzBuntu: the file even says don't edit it: head -n 3 /boot/grub/grub.cfg [17:13] Anyone? [17:13] ActionParsnip: thanks, im familiar [17:13] ZzBuntu: if you are familiar why are you giving less then helpful advice? [17:13] he's said he won't do it in future, it's fine [17:13] netraameht: the bar on the left, do you mean? [17:14] Y'all are kind vicious. [17:14] having a problem with skype4.0.0.8 & pulseaudio [17:14] ZzBuntu: not really, just stopping you giving very bad advice to people [17:14] ActionParsnip, no the bar with File Edit View etc.. [17:14] netraameht: oh on the top? [17:14] ikonia: thanks. >.> [17:15] maybe, someone knows how to fix sound in skype? [17:15] ActionParsnip, yes, that must be back in the application [17:15] Verg, what problem exactly [17:15] Verg: is skype the only application not producing sound/ [17:15] ? [17:16] kostkon: may the newest version of pulseaudio help me? [17:16] Verg, cant answer this sorry. you havent really described your problem [17:17] netraameht: you can install gnome-panel and run that, I guess [17:17] Verg: do other apps make sound? [17:17] kostkon: problem is: skype sounds disgusting [17:17] ciao [17:18] !list [17:18] NandoPulsetti: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [17:18] ActionParsnip: other apps sound OK [17:18] ActionParsnip, I did, it just adds the Activity bar and stuff, but not the like File Edit View etc in the applications (like in windows) [17:18] Verg: mine has sounded terrible since I upgraded to 12.10... Although I assume you are on 12.04? [17:19] ZzBuntu: I'm on Padgolin, yes [17:19] LTS [17:19] ActionParsnip I got the CCSM [17:20] Seen this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/157891/skype-sounds-sizzle-distorted-bad [17:20] Verg: actually that does not have a good resolution.. [17:21] Is it possible to have a screen open in 2 places? [17:21] hi! Where can I find some real documentation about NotifyOSD server capabilities? I would like more info on x-canonical-append. Googling around, some use a string "true"/"false", or "allow", or a boolean value. Where is this API documented? [17:22] Verg: this one has a few resolutions that actually look like they may work. http://askubuntu.com/questions/153340/why-is-skype-startup-sound-scratchy-grainy [17:22] has anyone tried PulseAudio 2.1? [17:25] Good evening. Can anybody help me with upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? Error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1211371/ [17:26] gparted unmounted a hd device, how do I remount it? [17:26] FlyKind: look at your sources.list [17:26] FlyKind: he value 'stable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release [17:26] FlyKind: that's the key line [17:27] I've noticed that Windows leaves traces ("leftovers") in the registry and also leaves some useless folders and files behind after removing a program and I'm wondering if Ubuntu does the same? If so, how can I remove all files and folders associated with an application/program I am removing? [17:27] 哦 [17:27] 有人说中文么 [17:27] binker, #ubuntu-cn [17:28] karthick87: ubuntu doesn't use a registery like windows [17:28] karthick87: so don't worry about it or compare it to windows [17:28] Just installed pangolin. Why do I only see my 2 external USB harddrives and not all the internal drives as well? [17:28] karthick87: just use it and resolve any problems you find while using it === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest16217 [17:29] Anyone knows how to get the [File Edit View Go Bookmarks etc] bar back to the applications in GNOME (like Windows has). Its gone after disabling Unity in the Cairo-Dock (Gnome+Effects) session [17:30] netraameht, i don't know how, but the bar you want back, is called "global menu" maybe this helps finding an answer. [17:30] Dont be quiet :/ [17:31] Hm, I can see them under "Computer", but right clicking on them revelas a context menu with a "Mount" entry. Why arent ehy all mounted during boot? [17:31] OerHeks, thanks' [17:31] Sil4nc4, user mounts cannot be mounted untill login. [17:32] SilfenX, ^ ( sorry wrong nick Sil4nc4 ) [17:32] np - but must I do that manually each time the machine is restarted? [17:33] I got like 6 internal drives with stuff on them [17:33] SilfenX, add your mount to Fstab, so it is available when you login [17:33] thats supposed to be shared with samba [17:33] Fstab? Okay, where is that? [17:34] I m using desktop, is there a GUI for that? [17:34] i use e Gui for Fstab, called pysdm [17:34] !fstab [17:34] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:34] ok, I need simple, an icon to click on and some pretty buttons [17:35] Ok, pusdm, I ll lok that up in Software Center [17:36] morning all =) [17:36] no... wait it's afternoon [17:36] almost evening in fact =/ [17:38] hey, I have a problem. I have a wireless mouse and it seems to be cutting in and out for me. If I plug it in, it won't cut out. stranger yet, if I cat /dev/input/mouse2 and move my mouse around(unplugged) it has no issues at all. does anyone know what this could be? [17:39] dmp450: how do you know there are no problems when catting /dev/input/mouse2? [17:39] im thinking you might have some interference somewhere... or a dying battery [17:39] PRIVMSG ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/1211455/ - its my sources.list. What wrong? [17:39] gsteinert, I move the mouse around and it registers in the terminal and doesn't stutter at all [17:39] How can i print the standard error in red into the console instead of using the same color of the standard output? [17:39] [17:39] Is it possible using Gnome Terminal ? [17:40] gsteinert, that was what I thought, until I did cat /dev/input/mouse2 to see if it would stutter. doesn't stutter at all [17:40] Hey folks. [17:40] dmp450: i'm not sure... but you may get some input even if power is failing. how do you know what you're seeing in the terminal is everything that should be transmitted? iirc its not particularly human-friendly [17:41] I accidentally removed applications etc from my desktop when I was meaning to remove just one launcher [17:41] Can someone help? [17:41] hey unless [17:41] I've just installed hplip-3.12.9 at my system, and it is behaving very weird. [17:41] Is there a way to remove it? [17:41] gsteinert, i'm in gnome right now. so if I move my mouse around without catting that, it stutters. if I execute that command in a terminal window, my mouse moves around fine everywhere(including outside the terminal window) [17:42] FlyKind, sources list looks fine ( your message wasn't private without / ) [17:42] unless: sudo apt-get remove hplip if you used aptitude to install it [17:42] I accidentally removed applications etc from my desktop when I was meaning to remove just one launcher, I now have no Aplications/places on my desktop [17:42] carefull with aptitude on 64 bit ! [17:42] !aptitude [17:42] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [17:42] dmp450: now that is odd... =/ [17:43] gsteinert, well, now another hour till it finishes removing it. [17:43] gsteinert, that's what I thought :S It just started happening one day. I then thought to cat that to see if it would cut out in my input or not, and it didn't :S === Phase_ is now known as Phase [17:44] dmp450: i had similar issues with my mouse and keyboard (with fewer debug options as i run windows) and found that moving the wireless receivers to the front of the computer fixed the problem... less inteference counteracted the effects of failing batteries [17:45] two months later and the same batteries are still going strong === oso is now known as Guest37828 [17:47] I accidentally removed applications etc from my desktop when I was meaning to remove just one launcher, I now have no Aplications/places on my desktop [17:47] oops [17:48] gsteinert, I had tried that before and it wouldn't fix it either. it's only in linux, in windows things work fine :P [17:48] Is it normal for wine apps to always show as the last option in the unity task switcher (behaves like minimized, but not minimized)? [17:52] dmp450: then i am all out of ideas =( sorry [17:53] gsteinert, no worries. thanks for the input though :) === 16WAA4NLX is now known as melow01 [17:58] What kind of pipe can use in CLI to see progress in execution of rather time-consuming commands? === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [17:59] paulsomebody: bar [18:00] gordonjcp: So the syntax would be "bar | time-consuming-command --parameters", right? [18:00] gordonjcp: I am asking, since there is no manual entry for "bar". [18:02] gordonjcp: My bad, it was simply not installed. [18:02] paulsomebody, http://linux.die.net/man/1/bar looks like it is only for copying files [18:02] paulsomebody, also see http://askubuntu.com/questions/17275/progress-and-speed-with-cp [18:03] paulsomebody, trouble is, in general, there is no way to know how far along a process is [18:03] the playback in YouTube or other video websites is always either way too fast (plugin enabled) or keeps cutting off at every second (plugin disabled) [18:03] what do I do? this came to pass after the upgrade [18:03] ssam: Still, knowing the speed of I/O is a help. Thank you, you have been very helpful. [18:04] Sicp: What browser? [18:06] Sicp: You can use Google Chrome, that have an embedded non-free flash plugin provided by Google that is usually devoid of most issues experienced on GNU/Linux systems or switch to HTML5 video playback in the Youtube experimental settings, which should be of help. [18:08] I AM using Google Chrome [18:08] it is the situation for both browsers [18:08] firefox and chrome [18:09] I'll see about switching to HTML5 [18:09] Sicp: That will only fix the issue for YouTube. You may wish to check on the Chromium forums for assistance with Flash playback issues. [18:09] ssam: One more thing. "bar" seems to apply only to the network data transfer. Is there a pipe that would work with disk I/O speeds? "bar" does nothing while used with, say "sfill" command. [18:10] Hi! [18:10] suddenly it works? [18:10] wtf [18:10] Where can ı download official stable of Chromium browser for Windows?

[18:16] it tries to login the screen goes black for a second and comes back to the login screen again [18:17] extec: It does not say anything about windows sort order explicitly, but there should be some options for desktop integration. [18:17] any ideas [18:17] utab: I think you would have better luck asking at #xubuntu or #xfce channels. [18:17] anybody using windows media center via win8 on an ubuntu host? been using vbox and it is unstable with this. KVM won't even install. anybody successful with a specific hypervisor? [18:17] paulsomebody: oh ok [18:17] zoned, you dont have to manually copy the keys over anymore. use ssh-copy-id command [18:18] paulsomebody: Yes, but those are primarily just themes and folders. Also, I am referring to the switching within the Unity switcher, not the Windows one. [18:18] hydester: I am successfully using vbox for years now. [18:19] bekks: with windows 8 using media center?

Only the extension pack is PUEL-licensed. [18:21] it is called the event viewer so that it can install ubuntu on another distribution [18:21] zoned, which command did you run? [18:21] bekks: 4.2.0-80737~Ubuntu~precise [18:21] hydester: And which version very exactly did you use? There have been three release candidates, and a couple of beta versions and one stable version so far. [18:21] ssh-copy-id ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@serverIP [18:21] using the stable one now [18:21] Im stuggling to setup suexec, could someone help me out at all? [18:21] hydester: Thats the first version so far supporting Windows 8 officially. [18:22] zoned, just 'ssh-copy-id user@remoteserver' [18:22] basically, I think ive done everything correctly, but my scripts are still being run as www-data [18:22] zoned, it knows where to look for the public key file [18:22] bekks: right, so the VM was installed via 4.1 or a 4.2 RC, i forget. should that matter if i upgrade to 4.2 stable or does that mean i need to reinstall it from scratch using 4.2 stable? [18:23] hydester: That shouldnt matter. [18:23] mkanyicy, still prompts me for a password even when i run the ssh command that ssh-copy-id output for me [18:23] was using SATA as default, tried moving to IDE, tried a toggle of ext4 I/O cache, tried disabling 2d and 3d video support [18:23] How to disable guest login in ubuntu [18:24] it works for a little bit then i'll do something and it'll explode [18:24] bekks, Bah...

[18:25] bekks: cahe was on when i went to IDE, but after crash i tried turning it off to see. all seem to have equivalent problems. [18:25] hydester: Impossible, technically :D [18:25] hydester: But we may move to #vbox too :) [18:25] bekks: what is impossible?

[19:32] chemist^: maybe something like lmms? [19:32] mactalla: It might help to boot, edit the linux kernel's command-line from GRUB and replace "quiet splash" with "debug text nomodeset" so you can see more of what happens during boot. [19:32] chemist^: there is a lot of Linux audio software but most of it is geared up to recording and synthesis [19:32] mactalla: you can find those in either /etc/initramfs-tools/ or /usr/share/initramfs-tools (or smth like that). [19:32] mactalla: The scripts in the initial ramdisk are responsible [19:33] gordonjcp: yeah i've been doing that... now i want to have smth like lmms yes (looking at it right now on the web) [19:33] have u tried it? [19:33] is it good? [19:34] anyone help me with minecraft and why its crashes? it worked and then i turned on my nvidia graphics and now it crashes [19:34] Thanks.

[19:34] hi there people [19:35] although i'm not a ubuntu user, but it seems that this problem occurs to me on any distro and it has more to do with the kernels [19:35] mactalla: You can interrupt the initrd using kernel command-line options too, that are passed to upstart's init process [19:35] carter__: probably because your graphics driver is faulty [19:35] chemist^: no, I don't use computers for music any more [19:35] chemist^: I only use hardware synths and analogue tape [19:36] hai guys what is !grab in IRC [19:36] chemist^: I *should* give lmms a go though [19:36] well i went to the nvidia graphics settings and it says i have to run a boot command and restart x server but it wont do it when i type it into the terminal [19:36] rds_, some bot command. depends what they set it up to do [19:36] !grab [19:36] rds_ meaning?

[19:37] chemist^: no clever stuff, just a plain old-fashioned drum machine [19:38] carter__: When you intsall the nvidia driver, you're supposed to reboot your system. [19:38] carter__, ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 ,run the commands the reboot [19:38] gordonjcp: now that think of it i think i have it installed already :D [19:38] the=then , carter__ [19:38] abyss42: "find . -maxdepth 1 -name '\-*' " ... if that correctly identifies only the files you want to delete... add " -delete" to the command line [19:39] has any of you guys ever had a scratchy output from mic when using ALSA only?

[19:41] bekks was faster [19:42] i rebooted when i installed it then it says run nvidia xconfig as a root and when i do in terminal it says unable to write to directory '/etc/x11' [19:42] Dr_Willis, ok but if I find one that is just a "gtk3" theme. is that technically a full theme for ubuntu? or are there missing parts? [19:42] carter__: That is because regular users do not have permission to write to system directories. You need to prefix the command with "sudo " which asks for your password and runs the command as root for you [19:43] What is the state of 3d graphics (or where can I find out) of the Intel HD Graphics 4000? [19:43] themes are made of parts WACOMalt the askubuntu.com site had some good writeups on it [19:43] ok, I'll search there. thanks [19:44] blast, just ruined the Me menu in fallback mode [19:46] Dr_Willis, can you point me to any good sites that distribute themes in ppas? All I can find are tar.gz archives of the parts, and those arent working [19:51] Hello, can anyone help me with git? [19:51] I just want to know how to add 3 .c files to a repository. [19:51] * mactalla is an idiot. [19:52] :) [19:52] yay for internet search, found what I was looking for without having to bug any of you :), http://complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-12-04/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-install-the-lubuntu-desktop [19:52] mactalla: Did you misread the info and not realise it was being changed to r/w ? [19:52] anyone can help me fix my sound over vnc [19:52] Thanks, TJ- & Muelli. Turns out I screwed my fstab (missed putting the mount dir for an entry, so I had 2 root entries). That debug text nomodeset showed me the error of my ways. [19:52] As the newbie i am, is there a guide on how to set up the ftp server with more than one user. So that I can enter the web server with one of the users using vsftpd [19:53] mactalla: Ahhh... the joy of customisation :p ... always bites us one way or another [19:53] TJ-: no, it was ro because mountall was failing. [19:53] Yeah. About as bad as an off-by-one error. So close and yet so far! [19:54] mactalla: It's always the same... almost every bug comes down to a bit being set or reset incorrectly... the problem is, discovering which particular bit! [19:54] hmm [19:54] anyone can help me fix my sound over vnc [19:54] TJ-: too true. [19:54] vnc can do sound? [19:54] hm. does VNC do sound at all? [19:54] should I use the gnome3-team/gnome3 ppa or is there a canonical package for gnome3? [19:55] So again, thanks guys. Now I can move on to the other stuff that needs doing :) [19:55] Anyone can help me with wifi connection?? [19:55] WACOMalt gnome3 is the default in 12.04 [19:55] mactalla: congrats :) [19:55] WACOMalt: there is gnome3-session [19:55] I'm looking for a way to set apache from automatically starting, and start and stop it manually [19:55] Well whatever gives me the old menus and no unity, what am I looking for? [19:55] WACOMalt: a time machine [19:55] badum tsh [19:55] seriously. [19:56] WACOMalt: possibly a buggy whip and a straw hat, grandad [19:56] WACOMalt: GNOME3 fallback mode. Or "no effects" or "classic" or something. [19:56] selite: git add first.c second.c third.c than git commit [19:56] !fallback [19:56] srs [19:56] Having an issue with my wifi connection. I believe it's a broadcom card. I'm getting intermittent outages... like every couple of minutes or so, web pages won't load. I wait a bit, hit reload a bunch, and it finally comes up... [19:56] hello [19:56] I'll just ue this guide... http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [19:56] !classic [19:56] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [19:56] I dont have classic [19:56] I have ubuntu 2d [19:57] and ubuntu [19:57] using gnome2 is definatly not supported here.. theres the fallback classic mode.. but id suggest gnomeshell or unity or lubuntu or xfce if you want the od skool desktop [19:57] WACOMalt i'm happy with fallback mode, too bad I ruined the Me Menu by adding a new panel [19:57] limeage: It says, please enter commit message for your changes. [19:57] intermittent issue doesn't happen to any other computer on the wireless network [19:57] limeage: What's that lol, sorry but I am noob for this? [19:57] MonkeyDust, I dont have fallback mode [19:57] WACOMalt you can easily install it, logout, select it, login [19:57] MonkeyDust, whats the package name ot install though, thats my question [19:58] inicholson: "sudo apt-get install chkconfig" then "man chkconfig" - great examples of how to manipulate service runlevel settings. [19:58] WACOMalt: gnome-panel [19:58] ok, thank you [19:58] TJ, I thought chkconfig was just a redhat thing [19:58] limeage: Come on man. [19:58] WACOMalt it's fallback in the repos [20:00] MonkeyDust, thanks. And what is the difference between gnome-shell and gnome-panel ? [20:00] selite: every change to repo should be commented use -m option for git commit [20:00] inicholson: Hmmm, good point, it works with SYSV init but not upstart's /etc/init/ ... must forget the Lucid server way of doing things! [20:00] TJ-, hahah thanks anyway! ;) [20:00] Pls is there a way to permanently stopped cusor freezing? (synclient TouchpadOff=0 is the temporary fix) [20:00] limeage: I did it, but now the source file that I added doesn't appear on github. === WACOMalt is now known as WACOMalt|AFK [20:02] selite: correct, because this is distributed VCS. You've changed your local repository [20:02] inicholson: For upstart you have to edit/rename the service's entry in /etc/init/.conf - but even on Precise, apache2 still uses SYSV init, so you can use chkconfig [20:02] limeage: Hmm, then how do I make changes on the repository on github? [20:03] TJ-, thanks a lot, that's very helpful. I wish apache used upstart instead of sysv === Mi- is now known as Mi [20:03] WACOMalt|AFK gnome-shell is a different interface [20:03] selite: When you make a commit you are committing to your *local* repository. You can *push* branches to a remote repository (that youv'e configured as a remote or the origin) using "git push" === Mi is now known as Guest42834 [20:04] WACOMalt|AFK http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg <-- Gnome3 [20:04] inicholson: In a rush I simply delete the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d/ to the service === Guest42834 is now known as Mi- [20:04] selite: If you are going to use git and github not only for this specific case, please take a look at http://git-scm.com/book [20:04] TJ-: Yes, git push origin master and it works omg this is so great. [20:04] limeage: Thank you so much. [20:05] selite: See http://git-scm.com/documentation [20:05] selite: next time use mercurial ;-) === WACOMalt|AFK is now known as WACOMalt [20:05] selite: git push will do the job [20:07] Trying to get pgadmin3 (gui tool for postgresql) latest version installed on my 12.04 box. Need it for compatibility with postgresql 9.2 which just came out and I upgraded. I installed pgadmin3 v1.16.0 compiled from source successfully... but still only v1.14.0 (incompatible with postgresql-9.2) runs. [20:07] Muelli: merucrial also will take your time [20:07] channel #postgresql is not very interested because there they only use command-line interfaces (I usually do too) [20:08] hey also how do I unlock the panels in Ubuntu like they used to be? Like I used to be able to add icons to the panels. I had a force close one that was quite useful [20:08] but right click does nothing on panels since 11.04 I think [20:08] WACOMalt: alt+right click / alt+super+right click if this is gnome-panel [20:09] ah awesome! thanks. This is for both shells really [20:09] I'm 50/50 on unity vs gnome [20:09] WACOMalt: for gnome-shell you can't edit the panel by clicking on it (likewise with unity), so that would be gnome-panel specific === WACOMalt is now known as WACOMalt|AFK === WACOMalt|AFK is now known as WACOMalt [20:10] ejo: There are usually three stages to installing a custom source package: 1. install dependencies. 2. build 3. install. The final step usually involves "sudo make install" or, if the source package creates .deb packages, "sudo dpkg -i " === sw_ is now known as sw [20:11] TJ-: yes, I've successfully made it all the way through "sudo make install". [20:11] Hey hey...does anybody knows about a nice Play Station™ emulator apart from PCSX for Ubuntu 12.04? [20:11] trism, its not working in the unity interface, only in gnome [20:11] TJ-: (with no errors) -- the problem is after that I don't seem to have the new 1.16.0 executable, still only 1.14.0 :( [20:11] (64-bit edition) [20:11] actually 1.14.5 [20:11] Hi all, I am always getting kernel message (deauthenticating from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX by local choice (reason=3)) while connecting to wifi network.. Any idea?? [20:12] WACOMalt: indeed, as I said, only gnome-panel [20:12] trism, there's not a way to edit panels in Unity? O_o [20:12] PioneerAxon: run: sudo iwlist scan do you see a lot of networks on the same channel? [20:12] WACOMalt: you can install/uninstall indicators but that would be it [20:13] WACOMalt: which panel are you wanting to edit? [20:13] you cant even move them? I guess I have to stick with gnome then. I was just starting to like Unity though. [20:13] ActionParsnip, the top one, to move the system tray application icons I just added [20:13] just want to slide them to the left [20:14] WACOMalt: no, you cannot move them [20:14] O_o that's... a humongous oversight. is was this done for a reason? [20:14] ActionParsnip: No. every network has unique channel.. [20:14] PioneerAxon: also, what wifi chip are you using? [20:15] PioneerAxon: is it centrino by any chance? [20:15] why did you want to know what panel I wanted to edit? is there any way you know of? [20:15] ^ to ActionParsnip [20:15] WACOMalt: because 'panel' can mean a multitude of things [20:15] well, what gnome has usually reffered to as panels :P [20:16] the top (and used to be bottom) bars [20:16] <|Anthony|> !seen robert_ancell [20:16] I have no seen command [20:16] ActionParsnip: It is " PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection" [20:16] <|Anthony|> aw [20:16] and any other that you (used to be able to) add [20:16] WACOMalt: there i no way to edit it without recompiling the source, (or as I said, installing/uninstalling indicators), if you want to edit the panel, install gnome-panel and log into the gnome classic session [20:16] ejo: if it's a web app, doesn't that mean you need to restart the server/install it ... else if its a GUI, use "which " to check which path is being called, and compare against where "make install" put it [20:16] WACOMalt: and what wifi driver module are you using? [20:16] Wrong person [20:17] <|Anthony|> can anyone comment regarding this 4 month old bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/997483 [20:17] So I either have to ditch Unity, or live with a lack of customization that is distinctly non-linux :/ [20:17] Launchpad bug 997483 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "VT_WAITACTIVE does not work well with a multiseat setup" [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:17] WACOMalt: i got it [20:17] anyone alive here and over the (ubuntu-us-ks?)???? [20:17] ActionParsnip, got what? [20:17] WACOMalt: echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 11n_disable50=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf > /dev/null [20:17] <|Anthony|> it is assigned to robert_ancell but when i look at his profile page, it isn't listed there as a bug he is assigned to [20:18] WACOMalt: run that then reboot to test [20:18] !bug 575492 [20:18] ActionParsnip, I am not the person with wifi issues... [20:18] Launchpad bug 575492 in linux (Ubuntu) "Intel 5100 AGN wireless connection bug" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/575492 [20:18] TJ-: The strange part is there's only one pgadmin3 found by "which" (or by "locate"), at /usr/bin/pgadmin3. But when I run it it's the old 1.14.5 and not the new 1.16.0. This despite the fact that 'make install' completed successfully as far as I could see. I am wiping the temp directory I installed from and trying over again. [20:18] PioneerAxon: ^ [20:18] WACOMalt: sorry, crossed wired [20:18] :D no problem. [20:19] PioneerAxon: your wifi is trying to connect to N speed and dropping as the driver is having issue, so you tell it not to and it will connect solidly at G speed [20:19] What is a good video capture (for webcam) program for ubuntu? [20:19] ActionParsnip: Oh!! Let me try it.. [20:19] I have a 1TB external harddrive. Taken out of a Western Digital Wireless HDD-thingy. Put into an external-HDD-casing for such purpouses. Everything seems to be working well hardware-wise, diode lights up, disk working, but AFAIK it's not recognized by my PC. Plugged it into a Windows-machine, which claimed to install device drivers etc., but still couldn't access it. dmesg: http://pastebin.com/2X1nHVAi lsusb: http://pastebin.com/P0RLrna9 - Ideas [20:19] WACOMalt: the top panel in Unity I have never played with [20:19] ActionParsnip: Thanks.. [20:20] ActionParsnip, well it looks like you cant customiz much of anything in Unity sadly. Unity is pretty, but breaks the linux mantra of everything is customizable. [20:20] Jonta: chkdsk the partition and be sure you use teh 'safely remove hardware' option in windows [20:21] WACOMalt: then install XFCE, KDE or LXDE etc and use that === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [20:21] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Trying chkdsk [20:21] WACOMalt, take a look at my-unity & ubuntu-tweak. [20:21] ActionParsnip, missing the point XD I want to use, and customize unity. Guess Ima have to start working on the source X( [20:21] Jonta: its just the scandisk app in Windows :) [20:21] ActionParsnip: I don't have Windows available atm. Use scandisk instead? [20:22] WACOMalt: there is myunity and ubuntu-tweak (from PPA) which may help [20:22] OerHeks, those are good for adding/removing features, but I like being able to add my own panels, resize things, change colors transparency... all of this was ditched it seems. [20:22] Jonta: is it NTFS based? === Mi- is now known as Mi` [20:22] Jonta: as in, the partition you are having issue with [20:22] Sadly, I'm not sure. But should think either FAT32 or NTFS. [20:23] Default at the time of purchase I assume FAT32. [20:23] WACOMalt: you can change transparency, in ccsm, unity plugin on the experimental tab (forgot to mention that) [20:23] i already have apache2, mysql and php installed. should i still install xampp or can i skip it? [20:23] WACOMalt: that's about it though [20:23] Anyone know of a good Webcam capture program for Ubuntu? My webcam worked on setup for the user picture, but isnt working with GUVCViewer [20:23] ActionParsnip: There's nothing I need _on_ the disk. Sorry for not mentioning this before. [20:23] Ok, I'll live with it for now [20:23] Jonta: sudo parted -l will tell you [20:24] Jonta: ah, is the partition recognised? [20:24] WACOMalt: cheese [20:24] ActionParsnip: That's the thing: I think it mighten'd be. [20:24] Hey guys. I just installed 12.4.1, but I cant detect my second monitor. Can someone please help me out? [20:24] Jonta: the command I gave will tell you [20:24] ActionParsnip, does cheese do video too? [20:24] dbugger: what video chip are you using? [20:24] WACOMalt: I believe so, give it a whirl [20:25] will do, thanks [20:25] ActionParsnip, VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTS 450 [20:25] thats what lspci says [20:25] cheese does video here [20:25] dbugger: did you install the proprietary video driver? [20:25] Im not sure if its the propietary driver. I opened the "Additional Drivers" window and installed the recommended [20:26] ActionParsnip: Aaah, there we go. 1000GB system. Output of sudo parted -l: http://pastebin.com/FMCYs7gL - I assume strongly it's the 2nd one =) [20:26] dbugger: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current === phix_ is now known as phix [20:27] Jonta: cool, you can use gparted to delete the partitions etc. Seems to be holding a Linux OS [20:27] Indeed. Weird. Thought I'd never been able to use it with GNU. [20:29] Jonta: well, its picked up so you can manipulate it :) [20:29] next up, what is a good screen recording software for ubuntu? [20:29] ActionParsnip, Its running, do I need to restart after it? [20:29] with audio preferably [20:29] dbugger: I would [20:29] Ahoy! === dpac|away is now known as dpac [20:30] Can someone tell me if I can gain access to another partition from Windows 7? That partition has Ubuntu installed on it. [20:30] ello govner [20:30] :P [20:30] ActionParsnip: Indeed it is ^^ - (Now to get to grips with gparted. Been a while…=) [20:30] QuanSai: What filesystem? [20:31] QuanSai: So you want to access Ext4 from Wnidows? [20:32] ActionParsnip, ok, be right back [20:32] quidnunc: ActionParsni: Actually, I just want to see the GRUB menu... It's not coming up when I start my computer and it's booting right into Windows 7. [20:33] any one know something about firefox freezhing all desktop?

Now to reboot to try fixing "Daemon Is Inhibited" =) [20:38] !fr: Technic_ [20:39] quidnunc: If "escape" is supposed to raise a GRUB menu, that ship has sailed and I didn't see anything.

[20:57] is 12.04 the latest "Stable" / recommended release? [20:57] climbzilla: find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1" [20:57] or should i be using a previous 11.x one ? [20:57] petrus: 12.04, supported for 5 years [20:57] climbzilla: save the new file, close gedit and run; sudo update-grub [20:57] ok, thanks === Guest91889 is now known as jmad [20:57] climbzilla: instead of trying to guess, try researching..... [20:57] Can anyone help me with my question? [20:57] why is 11.10 labeled the current stable version? does it have any advantage over 12.04 ? [20:58] !lts | petrus [20:58] petrus: 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) [20:58] croepha: did you defnie the address in /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:58] more software support or anything like taht? [20:58] petrus: 12.04 is the current stable release [20:58] petrus: what? 12.04 is the latest [20:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/ [20:58] ah, it's just that says 11.10 is :) [20:58] so it was confusing [20:59] petrus: think about the version number and think what year it is ;) [20:59] ActionParsnip: yes, as it works with ifup eth0, I should also mention that I did a debootstrap install in an attempt to get an minimalistic installation [20:59] croepha: did you add the line: auto eth0 [20:59] croepha: that's probably why [20:59] understood - just wanted to make sure 12.04 wasn't experimental because 11.10 was labeled "current stable" on the site. Thanks for the clarification [21:00] folks i have issue with sound please have a look at this and suggest http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e31b98404e191a0f43902f97f99cc24d51a16041 [21:00] ActionParsnip - thank you for the assist! I do try to research before coming in here and bugging folks with my noober questions... but it's tough when you're not even sure what to look for, exactly. I appreciate your help though! :) [21:00] ActionParsnip: you were right, I had "autho eth0" instead of auto [21:00] what do I need to use wwan card on ubuntu minimal? [21:00] petrus: check the topic, only stable releases are supported here [21:00] ActionParsnip: Thanks [21:01] petrus: notice 12.04 there? [21:01] Will this work in rc.local? service archipel start [21:01] yes :) [21:01] folks i have issue with sound please have a look at this and suggest http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e31b98404e191a0f43902f97f99cc24d51a16041 [21:01] so why is 11.10 labeled the current stable version on the site? shouldn't that be updated? [21:02] petrus: matter of perception, 12.04 is the current stable release and long term support release [21:02] Anyone using KDENlive in here? Trying to find out what the different webcam capture settings are. 100's of options. [21:03] ActionParsnip, it gathers the logs and config files for diagnosing issues [21:05] petrus: a normal release is only supported 18 months, hence the differentiation [21:07] what do I need besides network manager to use internal gsm modem under ubuntu minimal ?

I only see quicklists [21:17] I need to change the default target [21:17] WACOMalt: they are just the entries in /usr/share/applications so you can add stuff there [21:17] oh ok [21:17] WACOMalt: you can make a new item if you want, or create an alias in ~/.bashrc if you want it to always be that way [21:18] ok [21:18] thank you sir! [21:18] how do I... make a new link? [21:20] im trying to change the backgorund on the login screen with ubuntu tewak but it wont change any ideas what can be???

[21:29] <|Anthony|> all the fuss and rebuttals about switching to systemd, and ubuntu is using lightdm with virtually no documentation or support [21:29] <|Anthony|> ha [21:29] Muelli: following problem: when i watch youtube videos i always notice that my youtube videos stutter very badly [21:30] I reported a bug and now someone has told me to report it to kernal upstream.

Currently, my Android phone takes about 30 seconds to connect to my Ubuntu box, and after that, I get 3MBps of thoughput at most. This is compared quite low compared to Windows 7 laptop that mounts my Gnex ~instantly, and offers ~12MBps of throughput [21:36] I heard there were some problems with MTP support but it was supposed to be solved way before 12.04 was released === fogia is now known as lord_tywin [21:37] duckgod: I have suspicions but the log-file I'd need to see isn't attached to the bug. Can you provoke the bug again, then immediately after reboot, attach /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old to the bug report? [21:37] ironhalik: Any clues in kern.log? [21:39] TJ-: Dunno, to be honest [21:39] duckgod: I've seen similar issues in the past. If you have another PC available, when the crash occurs, try using SSH to connect (you may need to install openssh-server on the PC prior to that) [21:40] Muelli: following problem: when i watch youtube videos i always notice that my youtube videos stutter very badly [21:40] duckgod: if you can SSH you should be able to retrieve Xorg.0.log and kern.log from /var/log/ [21:41] TJ: OK I will do.

Everything has better and worse points, it's all a matter of weighing those points against each other. For some that means windows, for some linux, for some mac.

[22:16] yup [22:16] keviny1: tried a reboot of the server? [22:17] yes along with both systems [22:17] refefer: Is that SOMAXCONN? what's the limit you're seeing? [22:18] TJ-, SOMAXCONN is set at 128 but my understanding is that only affects the size of the backlog [22:19] TJ-, I can't seem to track down the magic number that governs it [22:19] keviny1: did you configure any firewall rules at all? [22:19] keviny1: can the windows box ping the ubuntu box? [22:20] no firewall i turned it off, and what do you mean by the second one sorry? [22:20] referer net.core.somaxconn (/proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn) [22:21] keviny1: ping from the windows system to windows using the ubuntu system name [22:21] keviny1: have you tried mapping a network drive too? [22:21] refefer: What process is being limited? some executables (php for example) may have the limit hard-coded [22:21] TJ-, an erlang server I'm writing [22:22] ill try here now [22:22] refefer: OK, tuning the kernel knob will be sufficient then [22:22] TJ-, a quick grep through the code doesn't show any FD_SETSIZE abuses, outside of overriding them [22:22] does anyone here have experience setting up openvpn with bridged mode ? [22:24] tortib: still at it? Have you seen the docs on OpenVPN bridging? http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/76-ethernet-bridging.html [22:24] ? [22:24] actionparsnip: no i cant ping from windows box [22:25] Can someone give me a hand with resolvconf? [22:26] ubuntu box is not even showing up on the network devices [22:26] I've got a line under iface eth0 ..... -- dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 216.227.220.3 [22:26] keviny1: can you ping by IP? [22:27] but can't figure out how to rebuild /etc/resolv.conf without ifdowning eth0. also, got it working once but somehow got re-configured to only have 127.0.0.1 in there again [22:27] wby: i use the tail file in resolvconf, works well :) [22:27] is it possible that the bind9 package is messing things up somehow when it gets updated / restarted [22:27] How do I convert X.mp4 to X.swf ? will avconv help? [22:27] yeah, I know about the tail file. I was just trying to avoid doing that when there's supposed to be a way to do it the "right" way [22:28] I'd just as soon disable resolvconf entirely vs. adding something to the tail file, and I was worried about having the nameserver added a second time [22:29] I just don't understand why there's no apparent way to just rebuild resolv.conf without bringing the interface down [22:29] kion: won't ffmpeg do it? [22:29] in other words, I'd like to simulate the entire process of rebuilding the file [22:29] ical [22:29] ActionParsnip: I think Avconv is what you get if you try to install FFmpeg ... [22:30] kion: http://blog.procasts.co.uk/2008/12/convert-camtasia-6-mp4-to-flv-using-ffmpeg/ [22:31] keviny1: can you ping by IP? [22:31] nope wont let me [22:31] been on here a while, eh ActionParsnip? [22:31] keviny1: did you check the IP on the ubuntu box? [22:32] Archae: work is quiet :) [22:32] :P [22:32] ill double check now [22:32] even doing an ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 doesn't "fix" it, though obviously I'd like to avoid doing this on a production box I don't have physical access to as much as possible [22:33] wby: could add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line to make it run at boot [22:34] well, I guess my point is, resolvconf is just supposed to magically make things work; clearly I'm doing something wrong if it's not [22:34] ping transmit failed [22:34] again, I'd just as soon disable it instead of resorting to some kludgy hack [22:34] But I don't work with Ubuntu much, so I want to make sure there isn't an easy "correct" fix first [22:35] wby: what Ubuntu release? [22:35] and resolvconf is version 1.63 [22:36] \/etc\/debian_version says wheezy/sid [22:37] keviny1: are both systems on the same subnet? [22:37] 12.04 specifically [22:37] hmm i have not idea sorry, kind newish to this [22:38] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link ! it says that you should use avconv instead of FFMPEG, but all the switches seem the same :) [22:38] wby: Is the server a gateway ? [22:38] there's an eth0:1 as well, if it matters [22:38] kion: nice [22:38] no [22:39] TJ-: at least net.ipv4.ip_forward etc. are 0, and there's no nat / etc. AFAIK [22:40] ActionParsnip: just fyi, busy fooling with the win7 login screen to make it more ubunteque :D [22:40] keviny1: check bot IPs have the same 3 numbers in the IP. Its not an Ubuntu thing, its networking. So being new at ubuntu is irrelevant here [22:41] seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/448095 [22:41] Launchpad bug 366967 in resolvconf (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #448095 ifupdown-udev integration should be thought-out more thoroghly" [Medium,Fix released] [22:41] wby: OK, usually dnsmasq is being used (listening on 127.0.0.1) and it should be configured for the upstream servers, not directly in the interfaces file. If that server is using dnsmaq, see /etc/default/dnsmasg and /etc/dnsmasq.conf - on one of my servers I have dnsmasq.conf containing several "server=a.b.c.d" lines in addition to "no-resolv" [22:41] only that was supposedly fixed [22:42] no there not the same [22:42] don't see either /etc/dnsmasq.conf or /etc/default/dnsmasq [22:42] keviny1: then they are on different network, logically [22:42] keviny1: are they connected to the same router? [22:42] yes they are [22:43] would I really want to use dnsmasq on a single system that's a server with a very simple network config? [22:43] keviny1: then one is set to static IP which is out of the network of your router, more than likely [22:43] wby: that might be part of the issue... if you're seeing "127.0.0.1" being added to /etc/resolv.conf ... has dnsmasq been removed previously? ("dpkg-query -l dnsmasq" will show that packages status) [22:43] yes [22:43] wby: it helps cache dns resolutions and make the web a little faster [22:43] shows up as 'un' status [22:44] wby: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-dnsmasq-in-ubuntu-12-04precise.html [22:44] which is prob the win box [22:44] I'm not using "nettwork Manager" either [22:44] ^network [22:44] wby: OK, that means 'uninstalled' and probably never installed since a simple uninstall of a package usually leaves the config files behind and dpkg-query reports the status as "rc" - removed, config files remain [22:45] keviny1: check your router to see the network used and match it etc [22:45] wby: So, I think you need to grep the files in /etc/resolv.d/ see which one is responsible for re-adding the "127.0.0.1" - I'm assuming that's what you're trying to stop? [22:45] So, assuming I don't use dnsmasq or network manager, why does resolv.conf not have the nameserver specified in /etc/network/interfaces [22:45] no - I want 127.0.0.1 [22:45] I just want a *second* server listed below it [22:45] the /etc/network/interfaces file has iface eth0 inet static .... dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 216.227.220.3 [22:46] so, I am wondering why 216.227.220.3 is no longer getting appended to /etc/resolv.conf below 127.0.0.1 [22:46] wby: OK, I came in after you'd explained the issue originally... let me check on some servers here to be sure what I tell you is accurate [22:46] how do i do this? [22:47] keviny1: you have set a static IP somewhere, set it to DHCP and it will fall into the network [22:47] TJ-: at one point, I did think I had "resolved" the issue, but at some later point, resolv.conf got overwritten again without that second line [22:47] I have to run - back later. === _NeilB4Zod_ is now known as NeilB4Zod [22:48] wby: revolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04 (don't use it). i "believe" dns might go in /etc/network/interfaces but could be wrong! [22:49] I'm *not* editing resolv.conf directly; that's the whole point [22:49] but the system resolver libraries still use it, no? it's just being written by resolvconf? [22:50] I think it's editing resolv.conf directly that's deprecated, not the actual behavior of libresolv, no? [22:50] wby: sorry. my bad. teach me for reading the bottom, replying, then reading up ;) [22:50] As much as my urge is to just remove resolvconf, I am trying to do this in the "proper" way [22:50] I am trying to change my mac address with mac changer but get the error that too many files are open, how can i fix this? [22:50] wby: you're doing it the "right" way [22:51] is there a "right" way to rebuild that file without restarting networking or without ifdowning / ifuping the interface(s)? [22:51] wby: sorry, i wouldn't know... [22:51] echo blahblah | resvolconf -a [interface] doesn't seem to do the right thing [22:52] wby: the resolv.conf gets recreated by the script "/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc" - it does some quite complex stuff which is worth reading. It also sources "/etc/default/resolvconf" if that exists. It might be worth reading that to figure out how what it does translates onto your configuration [22:52] hrm. maybe $TRUATE_MESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS ? [22:52] wby: I'd think the stuff leading up to this will be important : "for N in $NMSRVRS ; do echo "nameserver $N" >> "$TMPFILE" ; done" [22:53] seems to default to 'y' [22:53] wby: where NMSRVRS seems to be created by the line "uniquify_nameserver_list $(sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*nameserver[[:space:]]\+//p' $RSLVCNFFILES)" [22:54] hmmm ill try it again after, got to study for a test thanks though action [22:54] ah! nice. yeah, TRUATE_MESERVER_LIST_AFTER_LOOPBACK_ADDRESS works [22:54] (sorry - Bitchx does something weird with capital n) [22:54] isn't bitchx dead? [22:54] Thanks all! [22:55] well, it's still alive here [22:55] wby: Yay! [22:55] seems bitchx is back up and running [23:10] how can i lower font-size of the ttys? [23:11] whallz: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution ? [23:13] zykotick9: nope, dont have an X sessuib rybbubgm sirry [23:13] zykotick9: nope, dont have an X session running sorry* [23:14] whallz: links2 it is then ;) [23:14] Hello guys, would any of you happen to know any kind of virtual server that can run in desktop? I test alot of script and its just so much effort having to keep on uploading them to my server. Thanks! [23:15] imadam: use kvm/xen/virtualbox to install a virtual server of your choice/configuration. [23:15] zykotick9: ty [23:15] zykotick9. You're amazing! Thanks for that. [23:18] imadam, apt-get install ubuntu-virt then run virt-manager. === avis is now known as Guest58335 [23:19] bulletmark: bahhh, virt-manager :( [23:20] zykotick9, I use Virtualbox daily but I think virt-manager has matured to become the best choice for virt linux servers. [23:20] bulletmark: i get it, i get it. nice GUIes are important to "most" people, just not me ;) [23:20] bulletmark: "VBox" no comment :| [23:21] bulletmark: "cut out the middle man" with KVM is my VM solution. not for everyone.... [23:22] zykotick9, but again virsh is better than the VB command line stuff anyhow. virsh is simple. [23:22] how does dpkg know what the system architecture is? is it a ./configure option? [23:22] bulletmark: virsh... pufff. kvm staright-up ftw IMO. [23:23] gui_tray_flags 1 === b_ is now known as zekoZeko [23:23] bulletmark: "requiring CPU virtualization" is a down side. but main-line linux-kernel support... choice seems easy to me. [23:27] imMute: "dpkg --print-architecture" shows the apt main architecture, perhaps gotten from "uname -m" (but i don't think so, they're actually separate)? [23:28] imMute: the dpkg is packages, while uname is just kernel! and they could be mixed... not a great idea. === mike is now known as Guest75126 [23:29] zykotick9: how does it decide if the /var/lib/dpkg/ directory is nonexistant? [23:30] imMute: SORRY i 1) don't know this specifics and 2) don't know how multi-arch plays a part. i'm no help, sorry. [23:31] :) [23:32] what time does the official 12.10 drop today/ [23:33] thrasher194: we're in the 9th month. so unless it's a alpha/beta nothing "drops" today, if it does - developement versions are arbitary. [23:34] ah [23:34] no worries my sys running top of the line. [23:34] ;D [23:34] thrasher194 plus, time also depends on the time zone you're in [23:35] Will ubuntu 10.04 work with intel HD 4000 graphics kernel 3.2? [23:36] hello, I was thinking of installing ubuntu on a partition of my hard drive [23:36] is there any reports of the windows ubuntu installer corruption the currient partitioin? [23:37] ubuntu 10.04 will work but ubuntu 12.04 will work a lot better [23:37] Basic, Thank you =) [23:38] your welcome [23:38] imMute: the architecture is detected by dpkg via /usr/share/dpkg/archtable, which maps to glibc triplets of the core packages [23:39] gr33n7007h: 3.2 kernel isn't for Lucid [23:39] TJ-: I eventually got --add-architecture to add the correct architectuure (armel vs arm) and got it working. [23:39] ActionParsnip, It's a custom kernel [23:39] imMute: yeah... you're aware of dpkg-architecture ? [23:39] gr33n7007h: we can't support custom kernels here [23:40] ActionParsnip, Ok. [23:40] TJ-: I found out about it, but I don't have Perl on this embedded system [23:40] GeekDude no [23:40] ActionParsnip: +1. trying to run a 3+ kernel on lucid seems silly to me. === Guest10191 is now known as McPeter [23:41] Gotta keep with gnome 2 [23:41] gr33n7007h: why do you gotta? [23:41] gr33n7007h: its a dead project you know...? [23:42] 1N4R51S [23:42] gr33n7007h, if you get ubuntu 12.04 you can download the gnome classic and keep gnome 2 [23:43] Basic: well, a gnome2 looking session :) [23:43] Basic: 12.04's "gnome classic" is NOT gnome2, similar - but different. [23:43] When is QQ out anyway? [23:43] gr33n7007h: look at the version number, and think :) [23:43] october what? === DWSR2 is now known as DWSR [23:43] ok,sorry im a kde and lxde user [23:43] gr33n7007h: well, it's 20(12) now [23:44] 18th [23:44] cool [23:44] ActionParsnip: re: 3+ kernel in lucid. i guess it is probably possible... my bad #2 for this evening ;) [23:45] zykotick9: no harm done. its a custom kernel anyway so not supported here [23:46] ActionParsnip: i still agree with that ;) [what's in backports? that should be supported. squeeze (what lucid is based off of) does have a 3.2 in debian backports] [23:49] Hi, i have had some trouble installinf ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop so I'm trying the alternate cd. it seems to be working but I have hit a msg complaining about missing firmware. The firmware is for the wireless interface which works on the windows os. My questions is if I change the firmware will it messup the windows wireless? [23:49] fusermount -u ~/.gvfs i have to type this when the home dir is not accessable.... any fix [23:49] hello [23:49] hi ENK|2 [23:49] mdadm --examine --scan return "ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=xxxxx" but mdadm --detail /dev/md0 "cannot open .. no such file" in / dev are md127 and --detail of md127 swork chow I config it in grub, mtab and fstab??? :/ [23:49] domtron: no. linux and windows totally separate (unless you use wubi) [23:49] hi drupin [23:50] domtron: "firmware" in this context is really just binary-blobs. [23:50] zykotick9: ok I thought the firmware replaced code on the IC's. thanks :) [23:51] Is there a way to get Geary to support multiple email accounts [23:51] domtron: do you have an nvidia/ati video card? did you try "nomodeset" on the regular livecd? === karl is now known as Guest89775 [23:52] domtron: with alternate i doubt you can use wpa/wpa2 wireless encryption... just sayin' (and could be wrong!) [23:52] zykotick9: not sure just got the laptop. it is a hp pavilion g7. [23:52] This might not be the best place to ask, but not really sure where to go. My school uses web software called blackboard(some of you have probably heard of it). Anyway I have a teacher who posts slides in .pdf format to the blackboard but everytiem I go to view them it says a plug in is needed(firefox). I click install necessary plugin but it says none can be found. Any ideas? === Guest89775 is now known as Kxtwo [23:53] domtron: hybrid? "lspci -v | grep -i vga" does it list 2 cards? [23:53] where i get amd and asus board drivers === hspencer is now known as hspencer[af] === hspencer[af] is now known as hspencer[afk] [23:54] VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9] (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [23:54] i need this driver [23:54] Kxtwo: do you have flash installed [23:55] drupin, did you check the hardware drivers utility? [23:55] zykotick9: just one (i'm using the ash-shell) [23:55] domtron: so what's your card then? [23:55] no TheLordOfTime how? [23:56] drupin, open up the dash, type in "Hardware Drivers", click the little utility's icon, see if there's any proprietary drivers that show up there. [23:56] drupin: its in the default install [23:57] u mean in terminal .. dash ... ? [23:57] ActionParsnip: via chrome - your favourite graphics chip for gnu/linux i believe ;) [23:57] drupin: you may need an xorg.conf file to make the display ok. You won't get 3D accelleration but the 2D will be ok [23:57] zykotick9: i hate them so bad :( [23:57] zykotick9: doesn't say "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: intel corp 2nd gen core processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev09)" [23:58] domtron: using that as a search criteria, have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/136593/how-can-i-fix-broken-i915-drivers-for-intel-gpus ? [23:59] drupin, i have to run, someone else will need to take over, but according to ActionParsnip, the drivers are already in the default install [23:59] i think [23:59] domtron: i'm sorry. but intel drivers that don't work OOTB are foreign to me. i hope someone else hows something more about it/them. best of luck.
