| drupin | ok | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: I can hash you up an xorg.conf if you want | 00:01 |
| drupin | hash? | 00:01 |
| drupin | jockey-gtk gives an error Basic | 00:02 |
| Kxtwo | Basic, yes I do, just checked | 00:03 |
| drupin | ok this tool opened but says "No proprietary driver sused in system" | 00:03 |
| imadam | Hello I'm a bit of a noob. I'm learning python at the moment. Does anybody know how to load up a python script in terminal or where I can find a good tut? Thanks! | 00:03 |
| Basic | Kwtoo it may use shockwave or java | 00:04 |
| blackshirt | imadam, you can load it with python /path/to/python/script | 00:04 |
| michealpw | You can just use sudo Xorg -configure :1 to hash-out an xorg.conf.new in your home directory ;) | 00:04 |
| michealpw | It'll probe your hardware | 00:04 |
| michealpw | And spit out the xorg.conf.new. Then just open it with Kate or Gedit and you're golden | 00:04 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: +1 "sudo X -configure :1" | 00:05 |
| domtron | zykotick9: that assumes it's installed, I haven't even gotten that far :P. thanks for the help :) | 00:05 |
| imadam | blackshirt: Wow thats awesome. Thanks for your help. | 00:05 |
| michealpw | imadam: Well, I think you'd use: python script.py | 00:05 |
| blackshirt | imadam, not a problems... | 00:06 |
| drupin | now what i do? | 00:06 |
| michealpw | Where script.py is a qualified location, like /usr/www/script.py | 00:06 |
| michealpw | nvm | 00:06 |
| michealpw | LOL | 00:06 |
| michealpw | I'm slow :( | 00:06 |
| morgan | how can I determine what is causing my system to hang for 1-2 seconds every 10-15 minutes? | 00:06 |
| imadam | Hmm yeah it didn't work. Does it have to be in a certain directory to load? | 00:06 |
| z1gg3h | . . . | 00:06 |
| Kxtwo | Basic, is there a way to find out which plugin I need? firefox is usually good about finding it but is not doing it this time | 00:07 |
| michealpw | morgan: Try (From a terminal) top | 00:07 |
| blackshirt | imadam, where you place your python script? | 00:07 |
| z1gg3h | I have a sneaking suspicion I have a major problem with my wireless adaptor. | 00:07 |
| imadam | blackshirt its in the desktop. | 00:07 |
| Kxtwo | Basic, I have java 6 and 7 | 00:07 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: fyi, have you tried htop? it's top but cooler - not something to recommend, as it isn't installed by default. | 00:07 |
| === TaiChi is now known as bmw | ||
| Basic | No because it linux firefox wont find the pulins for you | 00:08 |
| blackshirt | usually with this should work .. python ~/Desktop/script.py | 00:08 |
| Basic | #plugins | 00:08 |
| michealpw | imadam: maybe you need to give the script execute permissions? Try ls -l ~/Desktop and see if your script has the x attributes? | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1212042/plain/ should do it, you'll be wrestling that file til you get a good display | 00:08 |
| michealpw | zykotick9 : Nope I will check it out thx!:) | 00:08 |
| drupin | ok ActionParsnip let me see | 00:09 |
| imadam | blackshirt michealpw - I'm such a noob. I typed the file name wrong. Big fail on my part. Seems to be working. Thanks guys. | 00:09 |
| michealpw | ohhhh that's pretty, zykotick9 LOL | 00:09 |
| z1gg3h | Anyway know much about Netgear wireless adaptors, by chance? | 00:10 |
| michealpw | LOL imadam nice | 00:10 |
| z1gg3h | *Anyone | 00:10 |
| Basic | Kxtoo it sounds like linux needs a windows only plugin | 00:10 |
| blackshirt | imadam, greats | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: powerful too. but i turn both the threadings off, so it displays like top. | 00:10 |
| michealpw | Whoa, it supports mouse-clickery | 00:10 |
| michealpw | That's neato! | 00:10 |
| michealpw | LOL | 00:10 |
| blackshirt | z1gg3h, what is your wifi card? | 00:10 |
| z1gg3h | blackshirt, Tis a Netgear WG111v3. | 00:11 |
| imadam | Thanks alot guys. I'm going to go off and learn some more. Take it easy! | 00:11 |
| drupin | ActionParsnip: now what i do? | 00:11 |
| z1gg3h | imadam, Keep safe bro | 00:11 |
| michealpw | Bub bye :) | 00:11 |
| michealpw | Check out Ruby! | 00:11 |
| michealpw | (giggles) | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf add the text there, save the new file and close gedit, then reboot | 00:12 |
| blackshirt | z1gg3h, i have no play with it before, but you should ensure your wifi driver loaded by kernel | 00:12 |
| drupin | ok ActionParsnip | 00:12 |
| z1gg3h | blackshirt, Aye, well there's A driver that's been loaded into the Kernel, I'm assuming tis the wrong one though. Trying to track down the right one, with a internet connection that's as stable as British job market has been challenging. | 00:13 |
| agrestringere | Got a question: Nvidia Settings lists my GeForce 8400M GS as having 256 MB of VRAM however when I used "nvidia-smi --query --display=memory" only lists " Memory Usage Total:127MB Used:77MB Free:50MB, I don't get it, is it saving some memory for system use and another bit for applications? | 00:13 |
| z1gg3h | Prime example, I'm sitting here on jsut IRC, and the lag on XChat indicates a 4.5 second delay | 00:13 |
| drupin | ActionParsnip: is this empty by default? | 00:13 |
| z1gg3h | *just | 00:14 |
| goddard | Is there a way to get Geary to support multiple email accounts | 00:15 |
| blackshirt | z1gg3h, are you relying on wifi connection ? | 00:15 |
| nikes12 | hey | 00:15 |
| blackshirt | z1gg3h, 4,5 seconds was bad thing | 00:15 |
| nikes12 | is this the olny chat room | 00:16 |
| morgan | michealpw, ok it just happened again, xorg and chrome were at the top | 00:16 |
| OerHeks | nikes12 not olny, but ubuntu | 00:16 |
| blackshirt | nikes12, what do you want? | 00:17 |
| morgan | and then woopsie just opened up | 00:17 |
| michealpw | Did you notice anything spectacular? | 00:17 |
| morgan | no, just sound stutters for 2 seconds~ | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: yes | 00:19 |
| drupin | ok | 00:19 |
| morgan | when woopsie opens up that means some error is happening right ? | 00:19 |
| morgan | whoopsie* | 00:19 |
| michealpw | Well I'm no expert, but I think it's a tumor. | 00:19 |
| michealpw | ;) | 00:19 |
| zykotick9 | morgan: google chrome or chromium? | 00:19 |
| morgan | zykotick9, google chrome | 00:19 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: "it's not a tumor" ;) | 00:19 |
| michealpw | LOL | 00:20 |
| michealpw | I think GNOME and KDE should get together | 00:21 |
| michealpw | :) | 00:21 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: both are bloat-city IMO | 00:21 |
| michealpw | LOL touche | 00:21 |
| michealpw | They both constantly change so much it makes me want to punch puppies | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | michealpw: then use XFCE or LXDE, they have changed very little | 00:22 |
| michealpw | Weeeell iunno that's for the cool people. | 00:22 |
| michealpw | I'm not cool. | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | michealpw: how do you mean? | 00:22 |
| Basic | michealpw , if you like kde effects on gnome their are plugins for compiz | 00:22 |
| morgan | hmmm yeah, seems like it's an issue with google chrome ? | 00:23 |
| michealpw | No no Basic, I meant the developers/projects :P | 00:23 |
| michealpw | I blame Google Chrome, morgan. | 00:23 |
| Basic | ok | 00:23 |
| michealpw | LOL it's the easy way out | 00:23 |
| michealpw | Honestly I don't know what it is, morgan. Perhaps it is Chrome, perhaps not. Could be something innocent like system updates? | 00:24 |
| vadi2 | I'm having difficulty getting photos off galaxy s2 - the ones stored on the phones internal card are not seen by ubuntu, only the top level folders are - and there is nothing inside them as it lists. Any ideas? | 00:25 |
| michealpw | Iunno I guess the system updates wouldn't cause it to be sluggish though? LOL | 00:25 |
| michealpw | I'm only guessing, don't mind me :) | 00:25 |
| Basic | mogan, use chromuim because google chrome is not built for linux as well as chromuim | 00:25 |
| morgan | gonna keep chrome closed and play music through rythombox and see if it happens | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Basic: Chrome is based on Chromium.... | 00:25 |
| michealpw | Yep, try some testing. See if you can't isolate the problem better ;) | 00:25 |
| zykotick9 | Basic: +1 mostly. ActionParsnip ftw ;) | 00:25 |
| michealpw | Doesn't Chromium have Googleness in it, though? | 00:26 |
| Basic | i get less errors with chromuim than chrome | 00:26 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: YES! chome is with spying features ;) | 00:26 |
| michealpw | Google has submited upstream updates? | 00:26 |
| michealpw | haha | 00:26 |
| michealpw | I thought so | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: sorry, NO. chromium is open source... | 00:27 |
| michealpw | But the Google guys submit changes to Chromium no? | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: of course | 00:27 |
| michealpw | I couldn't be arsed to look at something the size of a modern web-browser, LOL | 00:27 |
| michealpw | Who's to say they haven't put their evil in it? LOOL | 00:28 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: i'm sure MOST chromium development is by google employees, they have enough gnu/linux developers ;) | 00:28 |
| ikonia | michealpw: what has this got to do with ubuntu ? | 00:28 |
| michealpw | Although I suppose you could just use dif on all their submissions... But who the f wants to do that? ROFL | 00:28 |

| Kxtwo | ok heres a question, I just tried to update to java 7 using apt get. I get the message: openjdk-7-jre is already the newest version. However when I do a java -version I get: openjdk-7-jre is already the newest version. what is that all about? | 00:31 |
| ikonia | Kxtwo: why is that surprising, it's at it's current version | 00:32 |
| zykotick9 | Kxtwo: i guarantee with you run "java -version" it doesn't say "openjdk-7-jre is already the newest version" that's apt-cache/apt-get | 00:32 |
| SparksIT | alright...I installed 12.04 64 LTS, I have 1 HDD, and 1 SDD, the os is installed on the SDD, however it is not detecting the HDD, it detected on install as it gave me the option to install on it. | 00:32 |

| Kxtwo | ikonia, if I have java 7 why does it say 1.6 when I do java - version? Also I use eclipse, why cant I use the 1.7 compiler? ALSO why does firefox say my java is out of date? | 00:33 |
| ikonia | Kxtwo: apt-get installs a package, you can have more than 1 java version installed | 00:34 |
| ikonia | Kxtwo: do a which java and follow the symlinks through | 00:34 |
| zykotick9 | !java | 00:34 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 00:34 |

| infidel | does anyone know of a tool for ubuntu like sosreport for RHEL? | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | infidel: is that the email reports? | 00:36 |
| infidel | zykotick9, that's the tool that gathers all the log and config files | 00:36 |
| Kxtwo | ohh I hope this won't screw up all my eclipse code | 00:36 |
| zykotick9 | infidel: don't know then. but that's a cool feature. good luck. | 00:36 |
| SparksIT | zykotick9: ???...not sure what you mean, I have a fstab.d folder in etc but it is empty | 00:36 |
| zykotick9 | SparksIT: ya, i heard about that the other night. sorry i can't help./ | 00:37 |

| ironhalik | Hmm - this command 'xset dpms force standby && gnome-screensaver-command --lock' works when executed from terminal, but not when I try to assign a key to it, vua the keyboard menu | 00:44 |
| morgan | been opening 10 different media players playing tons of different stuff while unzipping and compressing and cannot make it hang, if I open chrome and do a tiny little thing it will hang | 00:45 |
| infidel | tsimpson, you use both commands together? | 00:45 |
| jrib | ironhalik: try sleeping for a couple of secounds, since you are pressing a key | 00:45 |
| michealpw | Nice, morgan. So we've found our culprit ;) | 00:45 |
| ironhalik | jrib: kk | 00:45 |
| michealpw | morgan: Perhaps, try installing Chromium and using that instead, as others here suggested. | 00:45 |
| agrestringere | infidel: how do I tell? | 00:45 |
| agrestringere | brb | 00:46 |
| morgan | okay I'll give it a try | 00:46 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: oracle doesn't want java distrubuted by gnu/linux distros (period). so IMO we shouldn't use oracle-java, or java in general. | 00:46 |
| tsimpson | infidel: no, the apport commands are more low-level, the ubuntu-bug tool is a command-line client for it to automatically file bug reports | 00:46 |
| karl_ | rahh | 00:46 |
| michealpw | morgan: I think you can install Chromium side-by-side with Chrome. Try installing Chromium, then using Chromium to import your Chrome settings. Then remove Chrome ;) | 00:46 |

| === karl_ is now known as kxtwo | ||

| zykotick9 | michealpw: no. | 00:50 |
| michealpw | Hrmm | 00:50 |
| michealpw | So, wait, what is oracle-java ? | 00:50 |
| michealpw | That latest version of Java? | 00:50 |

| michealpw | Manalin: Well that's a seperate issue. Your firewall wont affect YouTube. | 00:54 |

| michealpw | You mean, having firefox embed the pdf viewer in the browser window for you? | 01:02 |
| Manalin | Just a Fast queastion How do i make the (WinToFlash) work? ore do That only work on windows 7 ore some Thing!? | 01:02 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, yes but firefox just says missing plugin | 01:02 |
| michealpw | Ah, I see | 01:03 |
| michealpw | Hrmm | 01:03 |
| wilee-nilee | kxtwo, there are number of FF pdf addons that is what will work | 01:03 |
| kxtwo | I have pdf viewer 0.4.11 | 01:03 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: Will this help? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-open-pdfpostscript-files-inside-firefox.html | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Manalin: what is wintoflash? | 01:04 |
| kxtwo | lets find out michealpw! | 01:04 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: Wait, wait look at this first LOL! https://beeznest.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/firefox-15-pdf-reader-preview/ | 01:04 |
| michealpw | The second link sounds better, I think much newer :) | 01:04 |
| kxtwo | too late | 01:05 |
| wilee-nilee | kxtwo, I have used blackboard it is a pain, you might try usewr agent swithcher as a browser spoof with like IE8 just an idea, I have had to do this with UNI access. | 01:05 |
| Manalin | it's a usb prog | 01:05 |
| Manalin | so i can make Cd in to my usb | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Manalin: unetbootin can make a bootable USB from an ISO | 01:05 |
| Manalin | so i dont have to juse cd only (Usb) | 01:05 |
| Manalin | oky didn't know | 01:05 |
| === kirk1 is now known as sparki | ||
| michealpw | kxtwo: so the new firefoxes on Ubuntu (Even my KUbuntu) there's an internal config option called pdfjs.disabled and it's set to true by default... Supposedly we can set it to true to turn on the pdf viewer | 01:07 |
| michealpw | Weird. | 01:07 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: I'm inclined to believe somebody set it to true for a reason, though? HEEHEE! | 01:07 |
| kxtwo | you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! | 01:08 |
| kxtwo | ok it worked | 01:08 |
| kxtwo | but all it does is open up do cument viewer! | 01:08 |
| kxtwo | also why wont firefox give me the option to restore last session | 01:09 |
| ikonia | michealpw: again "lol" ??? there is nothing funny and yet you keep saying it | 01:09 |
| ikonia | !lol > michealpw | 01:09 |
| ubottu | michealpw, please see my private message | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | kxtwo: yes its default disabled | 01:09 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: Which option worked? | 01:09 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, goign to about:config and setting etc to false | 01:09 |
| kxtwo | !lol > kxtwo | 01:09 |
| ubottu | kxtwo, please see my private message | 01:09 |
| michealpw | haha | 01:10 |
| kxtwo | there was no need for that message | 01:10 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, has been engaged and very helpful | 01:10 |
| kxtwo | well its not how I anticipated it but at least now I can view the slides. Now if I can only get help in figuring out why eclipse won't compile with 1.7! | 01:11 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: So all it does is cause the external pdf viewer to pop-up? That's no good :| | 01:11 |
| michealpw | It's supposed to be embedded in the window, so I read | 01:11 |
| MikeH | I have a feeling the answer to my question is going to be pain time wise, but how much effort/time is likely to be involved in rebuilding a 3x2TB RAID 5 array with an additional disk? | 01:11 |
| kxtwo | well before it did nothing michealpw | 01:11 |
| Manalin | Bad that i cant juse vuse xD | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kxtwo: chrome has a nice PDF viewer built in | 01:12 |
| kxtwo | oh speaking of RAID, my new motherboard supports RAID and I have two SSD's, I wonder if I'll get a nice performance boost if I raid them. | 01:12 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: You could try my first link, that's a plug-in for firefox called mozplugger which you can use to manually setup what handles what | 01:12 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, I tried the first link it was just a an apt-get command didnt go into any detail | 01:13 |
| kxtwo | its working nowk, I dont want to waste anymore of your time on it | 01:13 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: You could try that. If it works, just disable the helper plugin that came with your firefox cause it's not working. | 01:13 |
| kxtwo | at least now I can view the pdfs, in the future ill figure out how to do more | 01:13 |
| kxtwo | id really like to find some eclipse/java people who coudl help me, but the #eclipse is super slow. | 01:14 |
| michealpw | Well, if it works I guess that's what matters. If you want to try and refine it more (So it's embedded in Firefox) later checkout mozplugger ;) | 01:14 |
| michealpw | I'm new to eclipse, sorry. It's a beast. | 01:14 |
| michealpw | I use it for c/c++ | 01:14 |
| drupin | ActionParsnip: now th resolution is too huge .. than default..i cannot resize as well... | 01:14 |
| kxtwo | i installed mozplugger and restarted firefox | 01:14 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, I hate using ide for c | 01:14 |
| kxtwo | text editor is all I use | 01:14 |
| michealpw | Had a hard enought ime getting it to allow me to add gcc to it :( | 01:14 |
| kxtwo | I use it for java | 01:14 |
| kxtwo | still trying to figure out how tog et it to put my full name in instead of just karl, and how to get it to drop start bracket down a line | 01:15 |
| michealpw | kxtwo: I use Kate for almost everything LOL. I want to get into using Eclipse and/or NetBeans, though. | 01:15 |
| michealpw | But everytime I do, gawd. They're such beastly programs | 01:15 |
| ikonia | michealpw: again "lol" there is no jokes or funny stuff, please stop | 01:15 |
| kxtwo | my eclipse is set up with a cvs repository at school and the more I learn it the more I like it but I am having issues | 01:15 |
| kxtwo | for one I have java 7 installed | 01:15 |
| michealpw | ikonia: It's not funny that, with access to all kinds of huge IDEs I use a simple text-editor called Kate? | 01:15 |
| ikonia | no | 01:16 |
| michealpw | Ikonia: maybe you just have no sense of humour? LOL | 01:16 |
| ikonia | !lol > michealpw | 01:16 |
| ubottu | michealpw, please see my private message | 01:16 |
| kxtwo | yet it wont use the 1.7 compiler without giving me errors, I always have tos t the project to 1.6. Also like I said I cant figure basic options out, like dropping start bracket down a line. I absolutely cant stand having my bracket on the same line | 01:16 |
| ikonia | michealpw: please read the message from the bot | 01:16 |
| michealpw | I did the first time.. | 01:16 |
| ikonia | michealpw: ok, so please stop then | 01:16 |
| michealpw | You're dictacting that I cannot use the LOL meme? | 01:16 |
| kxtwo | ikonia, why are you so uptight? He's not bothering people | 01:16 |
| ikonia | it is bothering people | 01:16 |
| ikonia | me | 01:16 |
| michealpw | *sigh* | 01:17 |
| kxtwo | michealpw, dont engage it never leads to anything good | 01:17 |
| michealpw | Well, I apologize, Ikonia.. | 01:17 |
| kxtwo | ok ikonia your complaining is bothering me | 01:17 |
| infidel | tsimpson, so i use apport-cli [ --save file | 01:17 |
| ikonia | michealpw: thats fine, no need to apologise | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | michealpw: its completely redundant and has no value, what you are saying isn't funny, so why the 'lol'? | 01:17 |
| ikonia | michealpw: and it's appreciated | 01:17 |
| kaihau | Is there a way to get the dock to the bottom of the screen rather than the side? | 01:18 |
| kxtwo | good ol irc. | 01:18 |
| michealpw | Yup | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kaihau: there is a PPA but it is known to cause issues | 01:19 |
| kxtwo | welp now that some whining killed the nice discussion time to do some coding! | 01:19 |
| kxtwo | Thanks for the help michealpw, your lol's didnt bother me becuase well.... I don't get mad over stupid things :) | 01:20 |
| Hayate | lets go | 01:20 |
| drupin | ActionParsnip: how can i regain or reduce the resolution .. the settings it only shows 800x600 max | 01:20 |
| Basic | drupin what de do you have | 01:21 |

| michealpw | I should get back to my reading, anyways. | 01:21 |

| zykotick9 | ikonia: isn't wayland scheduled for 12.10? | 01:25 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: it was supposed to be in 12.04 too...... | 01:25 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: and being in is a long long way away from "replacing" | 01:25 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: i was that was well wayland (precise 12.04) ;) | 01:25 |
| drupin | Basic: can you check whats missing here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1212042/ | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: i still consider multi-arch a work-in-progress ;) | 01:26 |
| michealpw | In /usr/bin, what's the difference between Xorg and X ? :| | 01:26 |
| michealpw | hehe | 01:26 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: you're not on your own | 01:26 |
| michealpw | Oh, maybe Xorg's like a wrapper for X | 01:27 |
| michealpw | *thinks* | 01:27 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: sorry s/i was that was well/i see that as well/ | 01:27 |
| kaihau | any way I can remove the username from the system tray on the top right of the screen? | 01:28 |
| Basic | drupin im not a programmer im just a normal ubuntu who is skilled in most linux distro | 01:29 |
| zykotick9 | kaihau: how is "who is logged in" a security threat? | 01:29 |
| kaihau | I never said it was, I just don't want it there | 01:29 |
| pndemc_ | anyone tested 12.10 beta? | 01:29 |

| Basic | x org is a mired 40 yr old man of linux | 01:31 |
| ikonia | Peddy: is there a problem | 01:31 |
| Basic | x org is a tired 40 yr old man of linux | 01:31 |
| ikonia | Basic: please stop talking nonsense | 01:31 |
| Peddy | ikonia, it freezes sometimes for up to a minute | 01:31 |
| ikonia | Basic: it's a support channel - support (and do it good) or not at all | 01:31 |
| michealpw | drupin: Well, you haven't set any modes for your monitor and are you sure you want to use the openchrome driver for your graphics card/chip? | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | Basic: shut-up. what's wrong with 40! jokin' | 01:31 |
| michealpw | drupini: Also, in your "Screen" section you've got an option I'm not familiar with set, called "metamodes" | 01:32 |
| ikonia | michealpw: the model doesn't matter, it's an identifier only | 01:32 |
| ikonia | michealpw: the issue is that your using a.) terrible drivers in "VIA" b.) nvidia' "twinview" options with those, VIA drivers | 01:32 |
| michealpw | drupin: Use sudo Xorg -configure :1 to spit out a basic xorg.conf that you can work from. It will probe your hardware and set proper values for your driver etc. | 01:33 |
| zykotick9 | michealpw: fyi "metamodes" has been a xorg.conf option forever. just saying. | 01:33 |
| michealpw | LOL zykotick9 my bad. | 01:33 |
| ikonia | michealpw: again "lol" ??? is possible to actually have a sentence without it | 01:35 |
| Nickeeh | Hello! I'd like to get llvm-3.1 from somewhere. Can I search the "unoffical" repos in some way, like arch's yaourt? | 01:36 |
| kxtwo | oh here we go again | 01:36 |
| zykotick9 | !ppa | Nickeeh | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Nickeeh: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 01:36 |
| ikonia | kxtwo: you're comments are not needed. | 01:36 |
| kxtwo | what is more annoying, short acronyms or some one writing a full sentence to complain about it | 01:37 |
| michealpw | LOL | 01:37 |
| ikonia | kxtwo: I've asked multiple times - I won't ask again | 01:37 |
| Nickeeh | zykotick9: cheers! :) | 01:37 |
| kxtwo | ikonia, you do not see the irony and hypocrisy in that statement? | 01:37 |
| ikonia | kxtwo: no, | 01:37 |
| kxtwo | ikonia, you have asked me nothing | 01:37 |
| h00k | kxtwo: please move on | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | Nickeeh: fyi, i'd consider ppa to be "generally" a bad idea. | 01:38 |
| kxtwo | in fact I believe that is the first time you addressed me directly on the subject. | 01:38 |
| Nickeeh | zykotick9: oh? how so? | 01:38 |
| Nickeeh | As in, with arch it generally is pretty harmless. | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | Nickeeh: unstable/unknown source... | 01:38 |
| Nickeeh | Oh unstable I can live with, just want a bleeding edge llvm-3.1 and I can't reach http://llvm.org >_> | 01:39 |
| zykotick9 | Nickeeh: it's "genearlly harmless" here too - i'm just uber-conservative! | 01:39 |
| Nickeeh | so until that goes back up again I'll ahve to make do. | 01:39 |
| Nickeeh | Ah great | 01:39 |
| Nickeeh | Well I run ubuntu in vbox anyway, I'll make a snapshot before I venture into less-conservative land, hehe. ;-) Thanks for the heads up | 01:39 |
| kxtwo | awesome, quiet some one who genuinely wants to help people because of a 3 letter acronym. Only on the internet would that make sense. smh. | 01:40 |
| ikonia | kxtwo: please give it a rest. | 01:40 |
| Nickeeh | What's the difference between "LLVM 3.1 (Natty)" and "LLVM 3.1 (Precise)" ? | 01:40 |
| zykotick9 | Nickeeh: natty and precise | 01:40 |
| Nickeeh | :X | 01:40 |
| Nickeeh | Not.. really.. should I pick the one that I currently have? | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | Nickeeh: output of "lsb_release -sc"? | 01:41 |
| fdge | yes | 01:42 |
| Nickeeh | ah, precise. :) | 01:42 |
| Nickeeh | I'll go with that one then. | 01:42 |
| Peddy | has anyone had fixed cryptfs errors like 'ecryptfs_readpage: Error decrypting page; rc = [-4]? Thanks | 01:46 |
| ikonia | Peddy: still having a little research on that | 01:46 |
| Peddy | ikonia, thanks, I have spent so long trying to fix it but I need fresh eyes ;] | 01:47 |
| h00k | Peddy: I may be remembering wrong, but I had a disk going bad that said something like that, so I guess don't take my word for it | 01:47 |
| Peddy | h00k, it is a pretty old disk, but it seems to have passed smart tests fine | 01:48 |
| Afflicto | Hey all -- I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS via USB. using this gigabyte mobo I can select to boot from either USB FFD, USB HDD, USB CDROM or USB ZIP. I tried all of them and none of the mworked - just started booting windows. Thanks in advance. | 01:50 |
| ikonia | Afflicto: sounds like the boot usb is not valid | 01:51 |
| kxtwo | Afflicto, how did you make the usb stick? Did you use a live usb creator? | 01:51 |
| Afflicto | It worked fine on my laptop. I used the usb creator windows app. | 01:51 |
| ikonia | Afflicto: ok, so then it must be your motherboard is not supporting the usb boot option | 01:52 |

| twoblackeyes | hello - I'm experiencing a strange issue I'm curious if anyone else has run across | 02:54 |
| twoblackeyes | the issue results in my USB keyboard and mouse both not working for about 2 minutes after first boot | 02:55 |
| zykotick9 | !ask | twoblackeyes you missed the "all on one line" part ;) | 02:55 |
| ubottu | twoblackeyes you missed the "all on one line" part ;): Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:55 |
| twoblackeyes | sorry, the rest follows on one line: usb input devices don't work, even after unplugging and replugging every USB connected device; but without any action, they do begin to work after a period of about two minutes after boot. Anyone else experience anything like this ever? | 02:56 |

| zykotick9 | Nautilus: copying a virtual filesystem like /proc could be an issue! | 02:58 |
| Nautilus | zykotick9: so I think just copy /home, /etc, /var and /usr? | 02:59 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: /opt, there could be others! what do YOU use? | 02:59 |
| Nautilus | zykotick9: I use it as a local LAMP stack dev machine | 02:59 |
| Nautilus | zykotick9: but the idea being I dont remember everything I might have installed in 2.5 years | 03:00 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: when people say "lamp" it makes me nervous. did you install apache / and the rest - using apt-get or something else? | 03:00 |
| ikonia | Nautilus: so copy everything apart from non-persistant file systems | 03:00 |
| Nautilus | zykotick9: I dont remember how I did it back then | 03:01 |
| zykotick9 | Nautilus: ok. best of luck - i can't help you further. | 03:01 |

| Diazo | I can be on YouTube and the video just doesn't seem to finish unless I move the cursor forward. | 03:36 |
| Diazo | ActionParsnip, Kinda like multiple users being on the same router? | 03:37 |

| Diazo | Lemme check ActionParsnip. | 03:38 |
| Diazo | ActionParsnip, There's a lot of channels using 9, 11 and 6 but I'm on channel 3 and it's the only channel that I have no other networks. | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Diazo: also disable ipv6 if you don't use it. You can do this with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Diazo: that's cool, different channel is good :) | 03:39 |

| SteveThing | ikonia: md5 | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | Diazo: fyi though, wicd is basically considered "deprecated" by ubuntu's upstream, debian. | 03:42 |

| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: same difference :) | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: $HOME == /home/$USER ==~ | 03:45 |
| Diazo | jmstick, I know just didn't try it cause everybody was using a computer at the time. | 03:46 |

| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: ~ = 1 key stroke, $HOME = 5 key strokes. a good admin is a lazy admin ;) | 03:46 |

| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: makes sense | 03:46 |
| Diazo | ActionParsnip, No problem. | 03:46 |
| jmstick | Diazo is it slow like that on all pcs in your house or maybe could just be the flash plugin | 03:46 |
| ikonia | SteveThing: that's an encyption cipher, not an authentication method | 03:47 |
| Diazo | jmstick, Don't know haven't asked anybody else yet I mean I get about 1Mbps when I'm on a site when I download but sometimes other things other than flash just seem to lag. | 03:47 |
| SteveThing | ok, w/e... I'm just trying to set up authenticated NTP between my ubuntu server and my cisco lab | 03:47 |
| Diazo | Even when I'm gaming on the PS3. It's probably just the router and modem at fault. | 03:47 |
| ikonia | SteveThing: it's not "what ever" you need to know the authentication method | 03:48 |
| jmstick | yea i bet it | 03:48 |
| jmstick | ive had that same problem | 03:48 |
| ikonia | SteveThing: it's pretty important, as then you can tell / setup the authentication client | 03:48 |
| jmstick | it was not the modem | 03:48 |
| Diazo | Alright y'all I'm going to try and power cycle it thanks for the information I appreciate the help though. :) | 03:48 |
| jmstick | but the router | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Diazo: make sure the rate of the interface is set right, it may be set at 1Mbps | 03:48 |
| Diazo | Indeed, packet loss. | 03:48 |
| Diazo | :P | 03:48 |
| Diazo | ActionParsnip, I gotcha. | 03:48 |
| jmstick | i had to reset the thing to default settings | 03:48 |
| jmstick | mine was a linksys | 03:48 |
| Diazo | By the way. | 03:49 |
| jmstick | does it alot | 03:49 |
| Diazo | Before I leave. | 03:49 |
| Diazo | One last question. | 03:49 |
| Shirakawasuna | Does e2fsck check for possibly truncated files (and can it log the results somewhere)? I accidentally filled up my filesystem while doing backups and want to restore any truncated files from another set of backups. | 03:49 |
| Diazo | When I installed Wicd and removed network-manager and try to install programs in Software Center the button is grayed out any reason for that? It seems the only way to install programs from Software Center is reinstalling network-manager. Or installing from a terminal. | 03:49 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: it checks for file system integrity, not individual files | 03:49 |
| SteveThing | ikonia: lety me double check cisco.com... | 03:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | ikonia: I remember, at some point, seeing it report individual files being truncated when this happened to me loooong ago (when KDE's soprano went crazy and got HUGE) | 03:50 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: if the truncating of the file provides an inconsistency, it will report them | 03:51 |
| Shirakawasuna | ikonia: where does it report them? | 03:51 |
| ikonia | on screen | 03:51 |
| ikonia | when you run fsck | 03:51 |
| zykotick9 | Diazo: too bad i can't suggest you point /etc/apt/apt.conf to your apt-cacher (or apt-cacher-ng) server. 'cause i assume you don't have one (or you wouldn't be asking). sorry i have no idea on you USC issue, good luck. | 03:52 |
| Diazo | zykotick9, No problem seems a mystery to me. | 03:52 |
| Shirakawasuna | ikonia: I'd prefer a log if possible, since this is on the / partition - I'd ideally like to force a check on reboot, then reboot and have it log results to a file | 03:52 |
| Diazo | See y'all later. | 03:52 |
| Diazo | Thanks again. | 03:52 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: man fsck | 03:52 |
| edgy | hi, how can I list the files in an unistalled package? | 03:53 |
| Shirakawasuna | ikonia: I did before asking any questions... | 03:53 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: you already know the answer then | 03:53 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: ok, so there is no "log" option | 03:53 |
| Shirakawasuna | I know that there isn't one that's documented in the man page | 03:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | hence I'm asking in here to see if anyone knows a method | 03:54 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: then there isn't an option | 03:54 |
| Nikozzzzzz | Infuziie hi pm me | 03:54 |
| ikonia | Shirakawasuna: you could wrap it with logsave or tee | 03:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | there's always an option if you look hard enough. I could manually make e2fsck run during boot with a custom service script and have it pipe all output to a file | 03:55 |
| zykotick9 | edgy: is in you can't run "dpkg -S package" 'cause you've already uninstalled it? there is a program that can do that! but i forget it's name :( sorry. | 03:55 |
| Shirakawasuna | but since no easier option is forthcoming I'll just find my usb key and fsck from there | 03:55 |

| baird | Hey guys need a little help with dual booting and shareing files. I have 2 harddrives. The first has win 7 & ubuntu. The 2nd has the swap and the rest is ext4 with the /home folder for unbuntu. What I would like to do is have windows and ubuntu read and write to the same user folders music, documents, pictures and videos. | 04:05 |
| baird | is there a good way of going about this? | 04:06 |
| Deutopia | need to install something in windows to make it understand ext4 | 04:06 |
| baird | they are both clean installs so if need be i can do everything if there is an eaiser way | 04:06 |
| omac | good evening I install quantal quetzal. Can I talk about it here? | 04:06 |
| baird | can redo* | 04:06 |
| zykotick9 | Deutopia: i doubt that's possible/reliable | 04:06 |
| Deutopia | or store the users music in a windows filesystem | 04:07 |
| JustBelieving | What is the code for installing yacc through the terminal? Or do I have to use the tar files | 04:07 |
| baird | i know they both can read ntfs | 04:07 |
| omac | my x displayy is kaput. | 04:07 |
| baird | but how do i repoint those folders in ubuntu? | 04:07 |
| Deutopia | create a symbolic link | 04:08 |
| omac | unity shows me my login ok, but once logged in, it's toast. I see no menus and barely any desktop. | 04:08 |
| baird | deutopia what does a symbolic link do? is that the same as moving the folder to that drive? | 04:08 |

| drupin | my system is freezing up... its on 8 GM flash.... | 04:34 |
| drupin | GB* | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: have you tested your RAM using Memtest86+ | 04:35 |
| drupin | no | 04:35 |
| drupin | as you told me before mine a 64 but..running a 32 bit version can cause problems | 04:35 |
| drupin | its AMD 64 3200+ | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU without issue | 04:36 |
| zykotick9 | drupin: if you have less then 4GB RAM, then 32bit makes sense for sure. | 04:36 |
| drupin | ok then why is it freezing is it coz of flash | 04:37 |
| drupin | yes ram is 2.5 GB | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: have you tested the ram health? | 04:37 |
| zykotick9 | drupin: you want to use 32bit then. the freezing is... i have no idea... | 04:38 |
| drupin | ok let me boot and do this 86 ram test | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | drupin: you can select it fro the grub screen when you boot | 04:38 |
| drupin | yes i seen it before but there are two test i saw there? | 04:38 |
| drupin | this takes long time right like half hour | 04:38 |
| drupin | to test | 04:39 |
| Deutopia | how do i edit usr.sbin.mysqld? | 04:39 |
| drupin | sudo nano Deutopia | 04:39 |
| ikonia | Deutopia: you don't | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | Deutopia: you can't "edit" a binary file. what do you really want to do? | 04:39 |
| ikonia | Deutopia: there is no such thing as usr.sbin.mysqld, if you mean /usr/sbin/mysqld - that is a binary | 04:39 |
| drupin | ohh know | 04:40 |
| sun_devil | Can you use the # symbol to disable a site in vhost? | 04:40 |
| ikonia | sun_devil: that is a comment in the config file | 04:40 |
| drupin | ok brb i do mem test ActionParsnip 86+ | 04:40 |
| sun_devil | # means do not read from, such as comments | 04:41 |
| ikonia | sun_devil: correct, ignore the line | 04:41 |
| sun_devil | My question, in vhost would you have to use # on every line of a site you want ignored instead of just deleting lines? | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: there are "some" config files that don't use # as comment/ignore lines (don't ask me for an example, but i know they exist ;) | 04:43 |
| Deutopia | i am not able to write to var so i am following directions @ ubuntuforums.org "Changing SQL database location outside of /var/lib/mysql" | 04:43 |

| ikonia | Deutopia: why can't you write to var | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sun_devil: commentnig is less desructive | 04:43 |
| ikonia | Deutopia: your mysqldb should be able to write to /var unless you have done something | 04:43 |
| Deutopia | i dont know. im new. first time out of IIS | 04:44 |
| Deutopia | i should probably start with a clean install. never finished the sql wizard thingy when it was installing. alt tabbed and the window disappeared | 04:45 |
| sun_devil | Ok, at the beginning of a site in vhost, can you use / or some symbol to tell apache to ignore that site | 04:45 |
| Deutopia | and b4 that i installed xampp and found out there was already a web server n sql server running | 04:45 |

| pishguy | how to enable intel vga in grub.cfg? | 05:47 |
| ikonia | intel vga ? | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | pishguy: not sure GRUB will support intel vga as the system isn't even booted at that point | 05:48 |
| pishguy | cfhowlett: i'm upgrade system and now i can't have high resulation | 05:49 |
| ikonia | so why are you messing with grub ? | 05:49 |
| cfhowlett | pishguy: the system isn't booted at grub therefore no intel vga configuration through ubuntu is going to display. | 05:50 |
| pishguy | cfhowlett: how to repair this problem now? | 05:50 |
| blackshirt | Snuupy: apt-get purge bind | 05:51 |

| ikonia | OldSchool: why are you posting that ? | 05:54 |
| OldSchool | I think I got my resolution fixed using the 173-updates nvidia driver for my geforce fx 5500 | 05:54 |
| OldSchool | But I dont know if the 3d acceleration is working. | 05:54 |
| ikonia | look in the xorg log | 05:54 |
| OldSchool | what about nvidia-settings? and what am I looking for in xorg log specifically? I dont understand | 05:55 |
| ikonia | OldSchool: nvidia-settings is for building an xorg.conf | 05:55 |
| OldSchool | If my questions would be too bothersome I will scour duckduckgo and the ubuntu.com forums for what info I can find, as my intentions are not to be obtrusive or intrusive to anyone. | 05:56 |
| ikonia | it's a reasonable question | 05:56 |
| ikonia | the xorg you should see it loading modules such as DRI | 05:57 |
| OldSchool | In order to get my resolution working I had to select something about x being on a seperate screen then write it to the xorg conf | 05:57 |
| ikonia | OldSchool: you ned to be more specific than "something" | 05:57 |
| OldSchool | And rebooted as when I tried the key combo of right alt + print screen + k, it displayed erroneous results. | 05:57 |
| dj_segfault | I think what OldSchool is talking about is running two different X sessions, one for each monitor. I do that too | 05:58 |

| ikonia | OldSchool: I see no settings in thre | 06:03 |
| ikonia | there | 06:03 |
| OldSchool | when i goto it, it said "disabled" and in order for my resolution to be anything above 1024x768 i had to select "Seperate X Screen" from the drop down menu, and write the configuration and restart x | 06:03 |
| OldSchool | Just to get resolution to the maximum IE 1600x1200 in my compaq 7550's case | 06:03 |
| ikonia | OldSchool: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying | 06:03 |
| OldSchool | I installed the additional drivers for the nvidia geforce fx 5500 in this case it was the 173-updates driver | 06:04 |
| OldSchool | Trying to fully enable my GPU card | 06:04 |
| ikonia | that part I understand | 06:04 |
| OldSchool | The resolution in displays and detected would not go above 1024x768, so I installed the 173-updates from additional drivers application, still nothing | 06:05 |
| OldSchool | so I ran NVIDIA X Server Settings application | 06:05 |
| ikonia | yes, you need to do that to generate an X11 xorg.conf that's valid | 06:05 |
| OldSchool | And got those results that I linked you to, that it said "disabled" so what I did, was click the drop down list where it said "Disabled" and changed it to "Seperate X Server Screen" or something of the like, then write configuration, attempted to restart X using right alt + print scn + k | 06:06 |
| OldSchool | and it gartbled, so i then restarted the computer and achieved the 1600x1200 resolution | 06:07 |

| Potter | Hej, can you guys help me with a little problem? i've recently installed Ubuntu on my HP, but now i can't find the files that were on the PC before? | 06:07 |

| OldSchool | and am now concerned with the status of 2d/3d acceleration as things still seem a tad laggy, even though this system only is running 1.5GB RAM on an old dell dimension lol | 06:08 |
| OldSchool | Yes, VGA | 06:08 |
| ikonia | why "lol" ? | 06:08 |
| L1 | Anyone know how I can stop Cairo Dock appearing on one particular workspace? I have a VM running there and it gets in the way. I'm using gnome classic. | 06:08 |

| ikonia | right...... | 06:09 |
| OldSchool | I am in the process of running the 12.04 LTS distrobution update as we speak | 06:09 |
| ikonia | OldSchool: opengl and glx information are the two options that will enable your 3D settings | 06:09 |
| OldSchool | wondering if i should have went with LXDE distro :) | 06:09 |
| ikonia | you can verify this in the xorg log | 06:09 |
| ikonia | OldSchool: that wouldn't change your graphics card | 06:09 |

| OldSchool | Would like to stick it out testing the regular Ubuntu distrobution if possible and just install lxde as a window manager :) | 06:11 |
| Potter | Ikonia: I made 2 partitions, put my files at the partition that didn't have Windows, and then installed rewrote Windows with Ubuntu | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | OldSchool: thats fine, or install lubuntu-desktop | 06:13 |
| ikonia | Potter: ok, so mount the partition with the fils on | 06:13 |
| Potter | I have tried, it should be std5, but it brings up an error letting me know that it can't wind the partition... | 06:14 |
| ix_ | I don't quite understand how the LTS works and why some parts are not LTS, like Lubuntu | 06:14 |
| ikonia | Potter: please tell me the exact problem instead of using words like "wind the partition" as that means nothing | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ix_: LTS gives longer support | 06:15 |
| ix_ | so what happens, does lxde lose support in Ubuntu after a while or what? | 06:15 |
| ikonia | I don't know what std5 is | 06:15 |
| ikonia | so please tell me the exact issue | 06:15 |
| Potter | Thats the partition where my files are on. | 06:15 |
| ikonia | ix_: it's not officially supported now | 06:15 |
| ikonia | it's a community release, like kde and xfce | 06:15 |
| ix_ | ikonia: I know, but what happens when it loses support? | 06:16 |

| dakidaki | Erin: check out no-ip for a free host service (dynamic dns) | 06:31 |
| Erin | dakidaki, i am looking at it now but when i click download it gives me an .exe .... | 06:32 |
| Erin | do they have an ubuntu package if so do you know the name? | 06:32 |
| dakidaki | Erin: yeah it's the auto-update client.. what is your router? | 06:32 |
| Erin | dakidaki, uhm its an actiontec router given out by verizon for fiber internet | 06:32 |
| dakidaki | Erin: http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/update_clients/setting_up_linux_update_client.html | 06:33 |
| dakidaki | give that a try | 06:33 |
| Erin | dakidaki, its an MI424WR-GEN2 | 06:33 |
| dakidaki | idk about that one, but a lot of router firmwares have dynamic dns built in. like cisco and dd-wrt | 06:34 |
| Erin | dakidaki, yea i just found it thanks for the idea, i had forgot they had it until u asked me what router then it clicked lol | 06:34 |
| Erin | so i guess i can sign up at no-ip .org and put in the info in my router. | 06:34 |
| dakidaki | :p | 06:34 |
| OldSchool | I dont see how this is on topic? :] | 06:35 |

| Oimel1987 | my eclipse causes a cpu usage of 100%. I'm using JDK 1.6 and Eclipse Indigo PDT with subclipse on an ubuntu 12.04. Does anybody know what i should do to resolve the problem ? | 07:42 |
| Yousaf | hi all | 07:47 |
| Oimel1987 | OK some correction: My Subclipse in Eclipse Indigo PDT causes that Problem. Everytime I'm updating my Projects the CPU usage runs over the 100 percent. Does anybody know a way to solve that ? | 07:47 |
| Yousaf | any server admins around? I need help setting up a server (paid work of course) | 07:48 |
| somsip | Yousaf: a freelance site would be a better place to ask. Maybe other IRC channels too | 07:49 |
| adambcn | could somebody please help me with a wireless networking issue? | 07:50 |
| SteevB | Whats the issue | 07:50 |
| Yousaf | had centos installed and now the server is dead | 07:50 |
| Yousaf | mysql doesn't start | 07:50 |
| somsip | Yousaf: I'd suggest asking in a centos channel then | 07:51 |
| adambcn | we have a wireless router in the office. other people in the room can connect to it. In my case it does not show up in the list of wireless access points. | 07:51 |
| omido | Hi guys . i'm having issues formatting a usb flash in ubuntu. where can i get support? | 07:51 |
| SteevB | adambcn: is the wireless router set to not broadcast hte ssid | 07:52 |
| adambcn | Steevb: i believe it is broadcasting, because other people can see it in their list of access points | 07:53 |
| Oimel1987 | can anybody help me with my eclipse cpu usage problem ? | 07:54 |
| adambcn | Steevb: if I run nm-tool, the access point does not appear | 07:54 |
| [deXter] | Oimel1987, I think its' a bug.. | 07:54 |
| SteevB | adambcn: have you tried from another machine that isnt already connected | 07:55 |
| Oimel1987 | deXter: yes i think too, but do you know a solving to that ? | 07:55 |
| adambcn | SteevB: yes, this has been an ongoing problem for several weeks | 07:56 |

| SteevB | adambcn: I dont think ive seen that before. Not sure if I can help. Sorry. Just keep trying on here, hopefully someone will know. | 07:57 |
| [deXter] | Oimel1987, It's best to download Eclipse from the website and just use that | 07:57 |

| Sidney__ | I have no sound in youtube Is there a command to purge flash | 07:58 |
| Oimel1987 | deXter: I've got the Eclipse version from the Website | 07:58 |
| einonm | adambcn: From a command line, try running 'sudo iwlist scan' | 07:58 |
| [deXter] | Oimel1987, Which one? | 07:58 |

| adambcn | iwlist scan: http://pastebin.com/8Lm9JhtF - we're looking for an access point called "WLAN_175B" | 08:00 |
| [deXter] | Oimel1987, I mean Helios / Indigo / Juno etc? | 08:00 |
| Oimel1987 | Indigo | 08:01 |
| [deXter] | Hmm, same as me. | 08:01 |
| [deXter] | I see that Juno is out now, have you tried that yet? | 08:01 |
| einonm | adambcn: Hmm, that looks pretty busy. Do you know the channel that the access point is using? | 08:01 |
| DoomGuy | hello all | 08:02 |
| Oimel1987 | deXter nope i don't, but i can test it. | 08:02 |
| DoomGuy | this looks wired but true.. I am using ubuntu 12.04 in 3 machines, Ubuntu machines can't ping each other without restarting the network interfaces | 08:02 |
| DoomGuy | but Windows machine can ping ubuntu's one | 08:02 |
| DoomGuy | someone can give me explanation | 08:02 |
| adambcn | einonm: no, how do I find it? I'm in an office building with lots of domestic and office wifis around | 08:02 |
| adambcn | einonm: hence lots of access points. "Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink" | 08:03 |
| alex_ | yo America, this's Ukraine! | 08:03 |
| einonm | adambcn: Is it from a laptop? I would suggest moving the unit to a different part of the room/building, perhaps next to a know working PC that can pick up the AP - one suspicion I have is that there is too much contention for the channel it is using, and it's getting drowned out. | 08:03 |

| ikonia | Kartagis: flash won't work with everything | 08:11 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: why did you uninstall flash-plugininstaller ? | 08:11 |
| YamakasY | hi guys, I'm looking for a system called genetti or geanetti ? deployment system | 08:11 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I thought that was the way to go | 08:11 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: why ? where you having a problem ? | 08:11 |
| WACOMalt | Kartagis, if you want to use the repos flash plugin rather than chrome's type about:plugins | 08:11 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: never heard of either | 08:11 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: can you help me fix this problem? | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: not really, it's flash | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I don't know why you uninstalled on package if it worked | 08:12 |
| WACOMalt | and disable the default one. | 08:12 |

| ikonia | YamakasY: its where ? | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: ok.....I'm starting to see a picture that that tsite may not be compatible | 08:13 |
| WACOMalt | the bottom commend on that page is what you need if you want newest system flash in chrome. | 08:13 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: it's fb | 08:13 |
| ikonia | facebook and flash ? | 08:13 |
| Kartagis | WACOMalt: let me try that | 08:13 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I'm not using any flash on facebook | 08:13 |

| Kartagis | ikonia: care to let me know why? | 08:15 |
| YamakasY | ikonia somwhere... have to check | 08:15 |
| ikonia | YamakasY: it's not in the ubuntu repos | 08:16 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: yeah, flash is a waste of time for me on linux, it's closed and too much effort to try to work problems thorugh | 08:16 |
| ikonia | through | 08:16 |
| WACOMalt | how do I change the number of workspaces on my desktop? or disable the feature completely? | 08:16 |
| crizis^ | Kartagis, i recommend official chrome rather | 08:17 |
| woot-0854 | WACOMalt: are you using compiz? | 08:17 |
| WACOMalt | woot-0854, yes | 08:17 |
| crizis^ | Kartagis, it ships with tested and working flash | 08:17 |
| crizis^ | "working" but anyway :) | 08:17 |
| TomyLobo | hi | 08:17 |
| Kartagis | crizis^: not chromium? | 08:17 |
| woot-0854 | WACOMalt: its in the destop settings tab | 08:17 |
| WACOMalt | crizis, the one that comes with official chrome has issues. fast forwards randomly and skips. the one in the repos is better. | 08:18 |
| TomyLobo | I want to install ubuntu 64 bit next to my win7 (home premium 64 bit). I have a decent amount of unpartitioned space left | 08:18 |
| crizis^ | WACOMalt, haven't had any problems, and chromium in repos is several versions behind (stuck in 18 iirc) | 08:18 |
| YamakasY | ikona... or wrong... sorry :) | 08:18 |
| TomyLobo | i tried the "wubi" thing, but it appears to install to an existing partition | 08:19 |

| === WACOMalt is now known as WACOMalt|AFK | ||

| === WACOMalt|AFK is now known as WACOMalt | ||
| WACOMalt | well... that didnt work out too well | 08:22 |
| crizis^ | TomyLobo, just throw in the cd/usb stick and install ubuntu - installer has option to use unpartitioned space right in the first step | 08:23 |
| WACOMalt | disabling desktop wall crashed unity, then crashed lightdm altogether | 08:23 |
| woot-0854 | :( | 08:23 |
| woot-0854 | sry | 08:23 |
| WACOMalt | on restart the button is still there | 08:23 |
| woot-0854 | did you restart gnome? | 08:23 |
| WACOMalt | restarted computer | 08:23 |
| blackshirt | wacomalt, thats look very bad | 08:23 |
| WACOMalt | wait is it Expo, or desktop wall? | 08:23 |
| WACOMalt | or.. viewport switcher | 08:24 |
| TomyLobo | crizis ok, was hoping for an option that doesnt leave my machine useless for an hour or more | 08:24 |
| woot-0854 | Im on fedora atm ummm I know its in desktop settings | 08:24 |
| woot-0854 | and I know it compiz gets piped thru it in a way | 08:24 |
| woot-0854 | 12.04 I assume? | 08:25 |
| WACOMalt | yes | 08:25 |
| woot-0854 | aight brb | 08:25 |
| WACOMalt | aaand unity crashed again. now I have no window borders | 08:25 |
| Sidney__ | TomyLobo, Ubuntu usually installs in about 20 min | 08:26 |
| woot-0854 | unity --reset | 08:26 |
| WACOMalt | and how do I run that when I cant open anything? | 08:26 |
| woot-0854 | you can try crtl+alt+f1 | 08:27 |
| woot-0854 | or f2 | 08:27 |
| WACOMalt | nm Ctl+alt+T worked | 08:27 |
| WACOMalt | for terminal | 08:27 |
| WACOMalt | workspace switcher is still there. I have everything disabled but expo | 08:27 |
| WACOMalt | which is required by unity plugin | 08:27 |
| woot-0854 | ah | 08:27 |
| woot-0854 | ya i guess dont mess with that | 08:27 |
| woot-0854 | if you get a dependency error be scared | 08:28 |

| blubee | hi guys i have two issues that one kinda brought on the other, when i installed this ubuntu installation i didn't really add any nvidia drivers but I did update, when i went into the additional driver section all the drivers were named NVIDIA binary Xort driver, kernel module and VDPAU library | 08:33 |
| thierry | woot-0854: why changing mode from ad-hoc to managed? | 08:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | lo | 08:34 |
| woot-0854 | thierry: oh sorry I thought you where looking for networks? like routers? | 08:34 |
| blubee | so I just chose one, installed it and rebooted my laptop, now when i go back it says this driver is activated but not currently in use. Also now whenever my laptop starts, a huge terminal that takes up my entire screen loads also the additional drivers window auto loads too | 08:34 |
| blubee | i mnot really sure how to fix these two issues | 08:34 |

| woot-0854 | one master one ad-hoc | 08:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | anybody good with .desktop files here? I'm trying to start rdesktop from a .desktop file, which works if I specify StartupWMClass=rdesktop, which works, but then Unity still gets confused between the two windows, if I check the class with xprop, it's the same for both rdesktop windows, what does differ is the WM_NAME | 08:35 |
| Aster | woot-0854, Yes, they did. | 08:36 |
| Aster | I don't think it's NVidia's fault. | 08:36 |
| Aster | Since my nvidia displays work fine. | 08:36 |
| Aster | It's the integrated GPU's display that's not working. | 08:36 |

| blackcat73 | Hi, after I've installed indicator-network on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS I lost eth0 configuration | 09:27 |
| blackcat73 | and when I use network manager it gives me an error message saying network system not supported or something like that | 09:27 |
| johnm | Ebolla: there are a ton of online guides on samba (which is presumably what you're using), but you have local user accounts on your box which will be used (using smbpasswd) to map them to a samba user, and from there you can configure your shgare in smb.conf to match the samba users you've defined. You can allow full write guest access if you choose, i'd suggest not. | 09:28 |
| blackcat73 | I have removed indicator-network but I'm still unable to configure wired network on network manager | 09:28 |
| blackcat73 | does anybody know this problem? | 09:28 |
| Ebolla | johnm: I setup the share via the Samba server configuration. I can see the share from the windows system but when I try to create my vm on the share it says that I do not have read/write permissions. | 09:29 |

| johnm | Ebolla: not usually, but you will need to set up linux permissions as appropriately | 09:34 |
| johnm | remember, smb users map to linux users, and permissions are then handled in linux (as per normal) | 09:34 |
| johnm | you might want to look at setfacl/getfacl (and the acl mount option) on the filesystem you're sharing content off | 09:34 |
| Ebolla | johnm: Ok how do I set that so that it follows the subdirectories etc? | 09:34 |
| TomyLobo | Ebolla people who ignore the topic usually don't respond to that, sorry | 09:34 |
| === E is now known as Guest53922 | ||
| Ebolla | TomyLobo: Not a problem. It's all good ;) | 09:35 |
| johnm | Ebolla: I'd strongly suggest checking online for a samba howto, permissions once mapped from samba users are simply linux permissions | 09:35 |
| TomyLobo | also a pet peeve :) | 09:35 |
| johnm | Ebolla: ie: I map a local linux user "ebolla" to samba user "ebolla" and then I can can chown -R ebolla some/dir/under/share as per normal | 09:36 |
| johnm | Ebolla: if you need more than owner/group, look at file system acls (setfacl/getfacl) | 09:36 |
| johnm | if it's still doing something off, then chances are your samba share configuration is wrong (it can override permissions) | 09:36 |
| Ebolla | johnm: nah just need a single user to have access to that share. thanks for the tip and pointing me in the right direction. | 09:36 |
| johnm | Ebolla: np, there are a number of good online resources for it. | 09:37 |
| Ebolla | johnm: Yeah just trying to find one that gives all the info as the ones I've used didn't is the PITA /lol | 09:38 |

| sudhi | can someone tell me where are the screensaver settings in Ubuntu 12.04? I can't find them | 09:45 |
| crizis^ | sudhi, gnome 3 removed screensaver :-) | 09:45 |
| sudhi | crizis: well, then they forgot to *NOT* install gnome-screensaver then | 09:46 |
| domie | twitche: i ran it, no output, no window and still didn't fix it | 09:46 |
| crizis^ | sudhi, afaik "screensaver" is now just a blank screen and that's it | 09:46 |
| crizis^ | sudhi, http://www.jwz.org/blog/2011/10/has-gnome-3-decided-that-people-shouldnt-want-screen-savers/ :) | 09:47 |
| sudhi | crizis: then I guess "sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver* && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver*" should replace it with xscreensaver, only thing I need to do is add it to init.d or something | 09:47 |
| sudhi | crizis: am I not using Unity? which is different from gnome3? | 09:48 |
| crizis^ | sudhi, unity is just an alternative shell to gnome3, all the libs and apps are there | 09:48 |
| MonkeyDust | sudhi unity is a shell, a layer over gnome3 | 09:48 |
| MonkeyDust | sudhi maybe you mean gnome-shell | 09:49 |
| sudhi | MonkeyDust: crizis^ : thanks for correcting; I just apt-get remove'd gnome-screensaver* and install'ed xscreensaver*; how do I make it default? or is it enabled by default? | 09:51 |
| domie | fixed it, had a apache2.conf in /etc/init/ | 09:51 |

| tomreyn | DJ_Danni: the issue seems to be that you have leftover apparmor profiles which were not removed in an upgrade. make a backup of your databases and configuration, then purge, then install mysql-server | 10:24 |

| tomreyn | i see. sorry can't help then. it's an old disk is it's just 160 GB, best bet is to replace it. if you have important data on it then have some disk recovery company restore it for you. | 10:56 |

| arvin_ | Hi guys | 11:04 |
| arvin_ | I tried following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Touchpad | 11:04 |
| arvin_ | Alternative 2, to fix my touchpad for my zenbook. Adding the ppa there made ubuntu try to install kernel 3.5.x which can't finish. | 11:05 |
| arvin_ | Now everytime I try to use apt-get it asks me to run "dpkg --configure -a" to fix the issue, but it breaks at the same point. | 11:05 |
| arvin_ | Could anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this manually? I'd rather revert back to 3.2 and remove the ppa. | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | arvin_ try sudo apt-get -f install | 11:06 |
| arvin_ | Alright, it's running... let's see how it goes. | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | arvin_ a ppa is always something you use at your own risk | 11:06 |
| arvin_ | Nope, keep getting Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-13-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/asus-wmi/999.01/build/make.log for more information. | 11:07 |

| MonkeyDust | arvin_ 3.5 is not supported, at least not in 12.04 | 11:08 |

| arvin_ | With the xorg-edgers ppa, which installs 3.5. | 11:09 |
| arvin_ | I know, I'm basically trying to go back to 3.2. | 11:09 |
| MonkeyDust | !ppa > arvin_ | 11:09 |
| ubottu | arvin_, please see my private message | 11:09 |
| N03L | Hey guys | 11:09 |
| N03L | How do you change the hostname/system on ubuntu? | 11:10 |
| WarOfTheNerd | arvin_, don't change the kernel from 3.2 if you don't need extra hardware support | 11:10 |
| WarOfTheNerd | arvin_, 3.2 gets extra mainline love, it's an LTS kernel upstream as well as in Ubuntu | 11:10 |
| N03L | Like, when you're on your terminal, your name would appear followed by @ubuntu | 11:10 |
| N03L | How do I change the name? | 11:10 |
| N03L | The option to title change via terminal doesn't work. | 11:10 |
| ugly_duck | /etc/hostname ? | 11:10 |
| arvin_ | That's why I added the ppa, according to the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Touchpad it will fix the semi working touchpad. | 11:10 |
| ugly_duck | hostname -b hostname | 11:10 |
| ugly_duck | ? | 11:10 |
| WarOfTheNerd | N03L, here's a hint: | 11:11 |
| WarOfTheNerd | root@VG244AA-ABU-p6235uk:~# cat /etc/hostname | 11:11 |
| WarOfTheNerd | VG244AA-ABU-p6235uk | 11:11 |
| WarOfTheNerd | (Quite simply, change /etc/hostname and restart) | 11:11 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Don't change it while the OS is running as it crashes some apps | 11:11 |
| arvin_ | Well right now I'm trying to get back to 3.2, but everytime I do anything with dpkg or apt-get it starts building the module and fails, and crashes, locking apt. | 11:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | as in edit /etc/hostname and restart | 11:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | (don't use hostname command) | 11:12 |
| Myrtti | WarOfTheNerd: /etc/hosts should be changed too. | 11:12 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Myrtti, true. (Some apps crash if it isn't in there as 127.0.0.1; *cough* League of Legends on Wine *cough*) | 11:13 |
| arvin_ | Let me put this in more general terms. If installing a package using apt-get fails, and dkpg --configure -a or apt-get install -f gets to the same problem. Is it possible to tell ubuntu to stop trying to install that package? | 11:14 |
| blackshirt | arvin_ what packages causes the problems? | 11:14 |
| MonkeyDust | arvin_ remove the ppa | 11:14 |
| arvin_ | I removed the ppa, but apt-get update tells me to do dpkg --configure -a, which gets me back to the same problem. :( | 11:15 |
| blackshirt | arvin_, your apt system on unconsistent state when you say like them | 11:15 |
| arvin_ | blackshirt: it's kernel 3.5 that comes with xorg-edgers. | 11:15 |
| tomreyn | !ppa-purge | 11:15 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 11:15 |

| OerHeks | Evil[1], yes, look at bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, and there is an #bumblebeeOptimus channel here on freenode | 11:46 |
| OerHeks | #bumblebee * | 11:46 |
| tomreyn | jan_w: if it's a USB mouse then try connecting it to another USB port, this often helps with hardware issues. If you think it's rather a software issue then search Launchpad more and port a new bug report if you can't find it already. | 11:46 |
| Evil[1] | OerHeks: Yeah, I've read that... seems easy to me, but the devil is often in the details... so I just install ubuntu the normal way, then do whats on this page and I'm into business? | 11:47 |
| tomreyn | jan_w: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1041063 might be related? | 11:47 |

| John | I've tried every which way to work around, or fix this, but quite frankly i'm no expert in compiling C. I can't code in C so all these CFLAGS and whatnot go over my head. | 12:29 |

| John | I'll pastebin the output if you like knxville, and I would be deeply greatful | 12:30 |
| ikonia | John: no, they don't | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | John: are we supposed to guess what you're trying to do? | 12:30 |
| John | gordonjcp: i'm getting to it | 12:30 |
| ikonia | John: the answer is not "don't use ubuntu" and no-one says that, please don't make things up | 12:30 |
| knxville | What error does it give John? It makes it a little easier for people to solve ur problem.. and what are you trying to compile? | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | John: what are you compiling, and what's the error? | 12:30 |
| knxville | gordonjcp: first!! ;) | 12:30 |
| jrib | John: ask on ONE line and pastebin logs/errors in a pastebin that you include in your question | 12:31 |

| John | I'm not compiling mfold, just the utils package (which makes a program called sir_graph) | 12:32 |
| John | sir_graph is really really useful, but whilst I could get it to work on Gentoo/MacOS/RedHat, i've failed to have any luck on Ubuntu | 12:32 |
| ikonia | John: how about give us the error | 12:33 |
| ikonia | John: use a pastebin | 12:33 |
| N03L | Goodness me, it's still not working. | 12:33 |
| ikonia | rather than just saying how it's failing | 12:33 |

| John | The guy who runs it (zukerm) isn't particularly useful it has to be said | 12:37 |
| N03L | yeah | 12:37 |
| tobias__ | I only use my TV in windows, so I could shut the HDMI down if possible so it wont recognize my TV | 12:37 |

| gordonjcp | John: I was just about to say, if you pop the error you get into Google it returns exactly *one* result | 12:37 |
| knxville | tobias__: alternatively, you could delete the xorg.conf file while the tv is detached.. it would create a default xorg.conf | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | John: and that's it | 12:37 |
| N03L | jrib: How do I change it? | 12:37 |

| mbeierl | John, how are you accessing the machine? Where is your X display client running? | 15:55 |
| John | mbeierl: erm, i'm not really using X | 15:55 |
| John | I'm just trying to use freeglut from the command line | 15:55 |
| John | actually, i'm just trying to use glut from the command line, but it seems that freeglut was the only avalible package in apt-get | 15:55 |
| beboj | hi , does anyone use this Sierra Wireless, Inc. Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem (QDL mode)? | 15:55 |
| mbeierl | John, how did you get to the command line? You said this is an Amazon machine, right? | 15:55 |
| John | mbeierl: yeah :] | 15:56 |
| John | ssh | 15:56 |
| mbeierl | John, and the client machine - is it Windows, Mac or Linux? | 15:56 |
| John | Mac | 15:56 |
| mbeierl | John, you could try ssh -X to forward X display back to the client machine | 15:56 |
| John | wait wait wait | 15:56 |
| John | So there's this program, called sir_graph - it takes data and draws graphs | 15:56 |
| John | It needs GLUT to run, so i apt-get install freeglut3, and it stops giving me errors | 15:57 |
| mbeierl | John, ok. | 15:57 |
| John | I then point it at some data, and it tells me: freeglut (sir_graph): failed to open display '' | 15:57 |
| John | Checking on a Gentoo machine, (which probably doesn't use freeglut) i see display is also set to '' | 15:58 |
| John | and it doesn't have this problem | 15:58 |
| John | I have no idea what freeglut is or why i need it btw | 15:59 |
| mbeierl | John, so it sounds like it is wanting to display something back to you. I don't know the program or its underlying libraries, so I don't know why that would be | 15:59 |
| morfeu | savio: TheLordOfTime http://imagebin.org/228847 | 15:59 |
| TheLordOfTime | morfeu, wrong. | 16:00 |
| John | mbeierl: Well, it's meant to write a pretty .ps file to disk | 16:00 |
| TheLordOfTime | morfeu, apt-get install pastebinit. then do cat /path/do/dhcpd.conf | pastebinit | 16:00 |
| aackley | Hi all | 16:01 |
| mbeierl | John, sorry - I got that much, but what I meant is I, like you, don't know what it is wanting to do. If you do "ssh -X user@amazonpc" and then once logged in, execute "xterm" what happens? | 16:01 |
| John | oh | 16:02 |
| John | what does -X do? | 16:02 |
| John | I'm just doing ssh user@amazonpc | 16:02 |
| John | with the -i file | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | John, it tunnels the X display over ssh. It will create a pseudo X server for you | 16:02 |
| John | oh | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | John, it /might/ just be enough to trick the library into running | 16:02 |
| John | well i'm not doing that, i'm just using the command lone | 16:02 |
| John | ahhhhh | 16:03 |
| mbeierl | John, it will set a DISPLAY env variable for you | 16:03 |
| aackley | Does anyone know if there is a channel for the Chromium browser? | 16:03 |
| bazhang | !alis | aackley | 16:03 |
| ubottu | aackley: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 16:03 |
| John | eek, X opened on my ma | 16:03 |
| John | c | 16:03 |
| mbeierl | John, but before that, I just wanted to see if the "xterm" will even show itself locally on the mac using ssh -X | 16:03 |
| mbeierl | John, perfect. Go ahead and exit out of it, then try your sir_graph again. | 16:04 |
| John | woah, weird | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | John, ssh -X is a low-tech form of remote display :) | 16:04 |
| John | X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. | 16:04 |
| John | freeglut (sir_graph): failed to open display 'localhost:10.0' | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | John, did you need to "su" or "sudo" to run it? | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | or change users? | 16:05 |
| John | i ran it as root | 16:05 |
| John | i sudo su'd | 16:05 |
| Calinou | *why* | 16:05 |
| John | .... | 16:05 |
| Calinou | sudo su is useless today | 16:05 |
| John | I don't need to sudo-prefix everything | 16:05 |
| John | but yeah i know it's bad -_-; | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | John, ok, that is expected then. You logged in as user, and SSH allows the display to be forwarded for "user" only, not any sub su'd users | 16:05 |
| Pici | You shouldn't need to run everything with sudo privleges anyway. | 16:06 |
| John | odd | 16:06 |
| John | Woah | 16:06 |
| mbeierl | John, have you tried sir_graph as user? It might not need root permission. Or perhaps the data or target directory could be set to allow user to write to it | 16:06 |
| John | yeah, er | 16:06 |
| Sidney__ | wqhen uninstalling vbox in synaptic why are some entries highlighted red | 16:06 |
| John | I think it's about to open on my local machine!! | 16:06 |

| cyclist_2 | Hello, there! what is your opinion so far about 12.04.1 regarding speed; I have it installed on a VirtualBox and is very slow; I have not yet tried it on a live session; for instance, opening a .small odf spreadsheet with LibreOffice is almost painfully slow, as it is using the Ubuntu Software Centre | 16:32 |
| willdabeast | cyclist_2 I am loving it to be honest :) I run it on a 6 year old Sony Vaio Laptop | 16:33 |
| bazhang | cyclist_2, what is the issue? a vbox is slower than a livecd, which is slower than an install | 16:33 |
| bazhang | cyclist_2, please state your exact issue and dont poll | 16:34 |

| ougogo | wilee-nilee Thanks, but wich speed is good for burn it ? | 18:12 |
| fruitbag | dr_willis: I want it to be mountable via another Linux box. | 18:12 |
| dr_willis | fruitbag: then samba, nfs, or ssh/sshfs can do it | 18:12 |

| mtrd-- | Hello. I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.04 from a usb drive. I downloaded it, and used netbootin. When i boot on this usb drive, i get a command-line with a (initramfs) prompt. I tried to mount my usb drive, but /etc/fstab seems to be missing. Any idea how i could reach the installation procedure ? The current, to be formatted OS is an infected (rootkit) Debian Squeeze. | 18:23 |

| wilee-nilee | Joel_re, Were you using grub-legacy? | 18:26 |
| chewtwig | i just looked again & my own computer still hasn't reconfigured my hard drive yet... | 18:26 |
| fantaghir | Joel_re, U could set up time to 1s | 18:27 |
| fantaghir | Joel_re, it would disappear immediately | 18:27 |
| fantaghir | well, just an idea ;-) | 18:27 |
| jgrevich | How can you launch gnome-disk-utility from the command line? I can't seem to find the executable for it | 18:28 |

| zoktar | using nautilus, trying to delete some files, i need to elevate to root, is it possible to have nautilus do this automatically if needed ?. | 18:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Joel_re, Is the link your question it is regarding the use of menu.list that is grub-legacy, grub 2 is now used. | 18:31 |
| sp4rc | guys where should i put "LANG=de_CH.utf8 gimp" in the unity configuratio when i would like to start gimp in german? | 18:32 |
| bekks | zoktar: Better delete the file using "sudo rm" | 18:32 |
| Joel_re | wilee-nilee: yes, I am on grub-legacy | 18:32 |
| Joel_re | this is on LTS | 18:32 |
| zoktar | aye was hoping there was some sort of gksudo extention | 18:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Joel_re, hehe that is a mistake but carry on. | 18:32 |
| sp4rc | this works great from command line, but i cant edit the unity starter | 18:32 |
| trism | jgrevich: no idea | 18:32 |
| Joel_re | "12.04.1 LTS" | 18:33 |
| Joel_re | wilee-nilee: a mistake? | 18:33 |
| Joel_re | Im sorry, I dont understand | 18:33 |
| sp4rc | i am running the latest version Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Joel_re, Grub-legacy is not used in ubuntu, you can but it has been grub 2 for awhile. | 18:34 |
| Joel_re | ok | 18:34 |
| Joel_re | I was just wondering how I should get rid of that prompt | 18:34 |
| rance | I have a bash script that uses grep, but is buggy. I need to change to egrep, but egrep refuses to search a directory structure. | 18:35 |
| rance | buggy in the sense that the search parameters are wrong | 18:35 |
| jgrevich | trism: I can't even begin to guess the meaning in relation to the disk utility | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Joel_re, You might try #ubuntu-server as well. | 18:36 |

| Varazir | Is there a buf with the DHCP in Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 18:37 |
| bekks | Varazir: What do you mean exactly? | 18:38 |
| Pazzie | daklan-away: are you here? | 18:38 |
| Pazzie | Janos: are you here? | 18:38 |
| Varazir | I have a PC I PXE boot, during the startup I see the IP-config get the ocrrect DNS server but when the system have booted up the resolve.conf file is empty | 18:38 |
| Varazir | bekks: was to you | 18:38 |
| Varazir | worked before I upgraded | 18:39 |
| Pazzie | bekks: remember me? | 18:39 |
| Varazir | bekks: could have been a "problem" that made my setup working | 18:40 |
| bekks | Varazir: Because PXE is not responsible for correctly filling in the /etc/resolv.conf of a box. PXE is used before the box even knows that it will boot a linux. | 18:40 |
| bekks | Pazzie: Not sure, no. | 18:40 |
| Joel_re | wilee-nilee: thanks | 18:41 |
| Varazir | bekks: that I understand but if the PXE gets the correct info I shouldn't have a problem with the dhcp server ( works on other systems) | 18:41 |
| Pazzie | bekks: i was the guy who had the lvm problem, i removed my hdd and i believe you where one of the guys who tried to help me solve my problem | 18:41 |
| whitman | Is there a way to find all packages which aren't associated with currently used repo? | 18:41 |
| whitman | *a currently | 18:41 |
| Pazzie | bekks: Janos and daklan-away also tried to help me | 18:42 |
| bekks | Varazir: And still PXE isnt responsible for filling in the /etc/resolv.conf -- Using PXE, I assume you are booting an entire linux image from your network. In that case, you have to modify the image to contain your wanted /etc/resolv.conf entries. | 18:43 |
| bekks | Pazzie: Maybe. So you've been successful? | 18:43 |
| Varazir | bekks I have edit but it resets everytime I reboot | 18:43 |
| Pazzie | bekks: yess, and i want to share it | 18:43 |
| Varazir | bekks: I used this solution for PXE setup https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto . | 18:44 |
| bekks | Varazir: Of course. Because you have to modify the image contents before booting and not the /etc/resolv.conf after booting the image. | 18:44 |
| Varazir | I don't use a image, I boot from a NFS share | 18:44 |

| Pici | aymen_: did you try #postfix ? | 18:46 |
| aymen_ | it's my first time i use irc for chat | 18:46 |
| bekks | Varazir: So did you edit the etc/resolv.conf inside the NFS share, before booting your PXE client? | 18:46 |
| === theyeti|away is now known as theyeti | ||
| Pazzie | bekks: to discribe my problem again i had a lvm with 3 hdd, and i removed my os hdd (because it was to small and i could not resize it with gparted) but did not know that you cannot mount the other hdds again (after a reinstall on a different disk) if you removed the os disk. Because there is where all your lvm information is stored. and you cannot mount or read the other lvm partitions in a other system. Well i found a solution, aft | 18:48 |

| Joel_re | I would verify it with ping - try sending various packet sizes | 18:50 |
| zErTs | Hi it's the second time that it happened http://postimage.org/image/ewfkxywqp/ what dosent mean ? | 18:51 |
| lauratika | joel_re: i set it to even 550 and no changes, set it higher than 2950 and nothing either... | 18:51 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, you're welcome. I forgot the question/answer though. Glad it worked whatever it was :) | 18:51 |
| bekks | Varazir: Then shutdown your PXE client, and edit the etc/resolv.conf in the nfs share on your nfs server. Then boot up your PXE client again. | 18:51 |
| WHAT_UP | processes killed with kill -9 still have their memory freed, correct? | 18:52 |
| Varazir | bekks: I have this in the file # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | 18:52 |
| Varazir | # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN | 18:52 |
| b1gtuna | mbeierl: it was about why I need to sync when I write files to SD card =D | 18:52 |
| push | problem in reinstalling mysql | 18:52 |
| push | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213402/ | 18:52 |
| WHAT_UP | the issue with kill -9 is in case the program was leaving stuff on the hard drive or needs to do something before exiting? | 18:52 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, Right! | 18:52 |
| bekks | Varazir: Then you are using NetworkManager, dont you? | 18:52 |
| b1gtuna | mbeierl: So is there a way to make the sync operation work faster? ext4 is supposedly faster than ext3? | 18:52 |
| lauratika | Joel_re: how can i ping packet sizes?? | 18:53 |
| Varazir | bekks: I'm only sshing into the system | 18:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | lauratika, do you mean how do you change ping packet size? | 18:53 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: ping -s | 18:53 |
| lauratika | well sorry everyone i mean how to do it? | 18:53 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, the speed of the write to the SD card cannot be changed - it is a hardware limitation. Buy a higher speed card it the only way to make it faster. There are filesystems that are supposed to be optimized for SD (wear leveling, etc) but I personally do not see the improvement | 18:54 |
| erkan^ | why is unity so slow? | 18:54 |
| erkan^ | gnoem 2 was quick | 18:54 |
| Varazir | bekks: far as I know is the NM gui only | 18:54 |
| erkan^ | how can that? | 18:54 |
| bekks | Varazir: So you dont have access to the server serving the nfs share? | 18:54 |
| bekks | Varazir: And NM is not GUI only. | 18:54 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, for that, ext2 is probably just as good as 3/4 when it comes to writing to SD | 18:54 |
| b1gtuna | mbeierl: ya i don't see the performance improvement, so that's why I came here to ask. Thanks for the clarification! | 18:54 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: you just ping -s 1400 <some server> | 18:54 |
| * mbeierl feels free to be corrected if I'm wrong | 18:54 | |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, you are welcome. | 18:55 |
| b1gtuna | mbeierl, how are you so knowledgeable? Just curious | 18:55 |
| Varazir | bekks: yes I have access to the nsf share, if I edit the file on the nsf share. wouldn't it just be overwriten the system boots up again ? | 18:55 |
| Varazir | bekks: ok | 18:55 |
| greenit | hi, i need a translation tool, like pootle... is there somethin similar, which is easier to install and handle?^^ | 18:55 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, I did some reading on the use of filesystems for SD cards a while back. I have not seen many changes over the years though. | 18:55 |
| b1gtuna | mbeierl, I see thanks. | 18:56 |
| mtrd-- | Hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick, i get a (initramfs) prompt when booting on the stick. I can't mount anything, fdisk is not available. I seems to be on the usb stick but i don't know how to proceed to installation. Any idea ? | 18:56 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, searching for terms like "best filesystem for sd card linux" type of thing. Interesting reading, but nothing will replace your own personal experience. | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | mtrd--, Try another loader after checking the md5sum of the ISO. | 18:56 |
| lauratika | Joel_re: ok, thanx... now what exactly need to look for? | 18:57 |
| mbeierl | b1gtuna, I can also say that if you are planning to use the card in other systems, nothing beats good old VFAT (the DOS filesystem) for portability. | 18:57 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: well try different sizes, between 1000-1400 | 18:57 |
| Joel_re | does it work | 18:57 |
| Joel_re | Id start with the largest | 18:57 |
| mtrd-- | wilee-nilee: another loader ? do you mean, instead of unetbootin ? | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | mtrd-- Yeah there are handfuls. | 18:58 |
| lauratika | Joel_re: it's working with 950 | 18:58 |
| mtrd-- | wilee-nilee: okay, thank you :) | 18:58 |
| lauratika | so what i do know? | 18:59 |
| qwebirc49361 | Someone talk spanish | 19:00 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: nothing larger? | 19:00 |
| wilee-nilee | mtrd--, I use this one it is a multiloader format the usb with gparted though it is picky here. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 19:00 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: ping -M do -s <packet size> <server> -c5 | 19:00 |
| wilee-nilee | It is a linux loader | 19:00 |
| Joel_re | try that | 19:00 |
| Joel_re | it should prevent the packets from being fragmented | 19:00 |
| Joel_re | so youll figure whats the right mtu | 19:01 |
| lauratika | yep, larger 1250 | 19:01 |
| qwebirc49361 | Hoy i can install LILO | 19:01 |
| wilee-nilee | qwebirc49361 Is that how? | 19:02 |

| b1tgl0w | Which humble indie bundle 6 games need wine? | 19:02 |

| lauratika | Joel_re: do i have to restart my browser? | 19:04 |
| Joel_re | no! | 19:04 |
| Joel_re | did you set the right mtu? | 19:04 |
| Joel_re | on your interface? | 19:04 |
| lauratika | i did the command you told me on terminal | 19:04 |
| Joel_re | well what was the output | 19:05 |
| Joel_re | you should get replies from the remote end | 19:05 |
| lauratika | 0% packet loss} | 19:05 |
| Joel_re | at what size? | 19:05 |
| lauratika | rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 95.120/102.981/114.973/9.451 ms | 19:05 |
| rhall | why does grep pattern /path/to/search/files/* work as expected and egrep pattern /path/to/search/files/* not search the files? | 19:06 |
| lauratika | 1258 bytes | 19:06 |
| Joel_re | at what mtu size | 19:06 |
| Joel_re | ok | 19:06 |
| Joel_re | anything larger than that works? | 19:06 |
| bekks | Quite small. Whats not working with 1500 or 1492? | 19:06 |
| mtrd-- | okay problem solved : the usb stick was in fat16. fat32 works. | 19:06 |
| lauratika | nope | 19:06 |
| Joel_re | bekks: lauratika seems to be connected via a vpn tunnel | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | mtrd--, hehe, you get a free DOH. ;) | 19:06 |
| lauratika | is that bad? | 19:07 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: now you need to set that mtu | 19:07 |
| bekks | In VPN, at least 1486 or 1478 should work. | 19:07 |
| Joel_re | on the interface | 19:07 |
| lauratika | via terminal or it's ok via network managger? | 19:07 |
| lauratika | joel_re:bekks it's right, my bad...works under 1450... | 19:08 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: you can set it via terminal something ilke - ifconfig <interface> mtu <mtu value that works> | 19:08 |
| Joel_re | lauratika: whats the current mtu value | 19:08 |
| bekks | lauratika: So 1448 should work, as 1456 should, too. | 19:09 |
| lauratika | i think is 1500, how can i chek that agin? | 19:09 |
| Joel_re | ifconfig <interface> | 19:09 |
| Joel_re | ifconfig <interface> | grep -i mtu | 19:09 |
| lauratika | inetreface would be what? | 19:09 |

| TheLordOfTime | zErTs, we can't understand that, can you explain a bit about what's going on? | 19:11 |
| jrib | Vandroiy: .deb packages can only be installed by admins | 19:11 |
| subcool | can someone help me with a simple command. Im trying to backup my /var to a folder on my USB drive. when i use cp * /media/HDD - it omits the directories | 19:11 |
| jrib | subcool: cp -a | 19:11 |

| subcool | is it really neccessary to do this as root? im getting denied a lot | 19:12 |
| Vandroiy | jrib: well... I do have admin rights. Just... can a .deb package installed as some user just rootkit me? | 19:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | subcool, if you're copying from /var/, i dont think it'll kill you | 19:12 |
| lauratika | might be pppx?? | 19:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | Vandroiy, nonadmins can't install debs | 19:12 |
| jrib | Vandroiy: what do you mean by "installed as some user"? As I said, packages are installed to the system by an admin | 19:12 |
| subcool | TheLordOfTime, everyting is getting denied | 19:13 |
| bekks | Vandroiy: You cant install a .deb for a specific user only. Either install it for all users, or dont install it at all. | 19:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | Vandroiy, it requires superuser or administrator power (sudo) to install software | 19:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | subcool, even with sudo? | 19:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | subcool, what "errors" | 19:13 |
| subcool | i havent tried yet- thats why im asking | 19:13 |

| Flexo-B | Any help to change an icon in the launcher? | 19:19 |
| Varazir | bekks: if I run sudo dhclient after the system have booted up it works | 19:19 |

| Pazzie | i have a problem with mounting my second hdd, if i try to mount it with fstab, and then reboot the system, i keep getting the error about, wrong fs, or bad superblock. But when i mount it manually it works fine... | 19:20 |
| subcool | llutz, do i have to sudo that? | 19:20 |
| trism | Flexo-B: find the .desktop file for the launcher (probably in /usr/share/applications/) copy it to ~/.local/share/applications and edit the Icon= lines with the path to your new icon | 19:20 |
| Varazir | bekks: yes, but after I do mount -a everything gose bad | 19:20 |
| llutz | subcool: what was the "previous error"? | 19:21 |
| brightsparks | Hi. How do I rename in the terminal a file like: One Two Three to a linux file One_Two_Three? | 19:21 |
| Flexo-B | trism: ok I try... | 19:21 |
| subcool | llutz, tar: /var/lib/rkhunter/db: Cannot open: Permission denied | 19:21 |
| subcool | tar: /var/lib/rkhunter/tmp: Cannot open: Permission denied | 19:21 |
| trism | Flexo-B: you could likewise create a new icon theme and replace the icon for the given generic icon name with a new icon, but it is a bit more involved | 19:21 |
| jrib | brightsparks: one time or in an automated fashion (like a directory full of such files)? | 19:21 |
| llutz | subcool: so yes, sudo would help | 19:21 |
| brightsparks | jrib: one time single file | 19:22 |
| brightsparks | jrib: or single folder with files in it | 19:22 |
| jrib | brightsparks: two ways. Either use quotes ('one two three'), or escape the spaces (one\ two\ three) | 19:22 |
| delinquentme | OK private and PUBLIC keys ... | 19:23 |
| delinquentme | I keep a private key locally | 19:23 |

| Flexo-B | trism: I've found the usr/shar/applications/ and there are all the launcher but not the .destkop file. | 19:23 |
| trism | Flexo-B: which launcher are you trying to edit, what application? | 19:24 |
| brightsparks | jrib: thanks v much : ) | 19:24 |
| Flexo-B | trism: rawtherapee | 19:24 |
| jrib | brightsparks: by the way, you can also just use tab to complete the name and your shell should escape the spaces automatically | 19:24 |
| trism | Flexo-B: according to a quick apt-file search it should be /usr/share/applications/rawtherapee.desktop | 19:25 |
| === TheWarden is now known as Guest30859 | ||
| brightsparks | jrib: ok got it thanks again. | 19:25 |
| Flexo-B | trism: I can see the launcher and in it's propriety I can see the comand "rawtherapee %f" and it has a bad Icon. In usr/share/local/icons there are the nice one. | 19:25 |
| delinquentme | So when using these keys to SSH between system I should only be passing out the public key. ALSO jrib I notice how amazing flooded the channel is right now.. and complete commend you for your judicious use of the bots commands to keep the channels spam to a minimum. | 19:26 |

| smith12 | dose anyone know what the update name server information handler dose? | 19:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | hemp, you may need to enable universe and multiverse first | 19:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | in terminal, if you want: sudo apt-get install xchat | 19:30 |
| hemp | thank you enlightenment being :) | 19:30 |
| hemp | TheLordOfTime, i have synaptic installing educational packages right now i doubt it'll work | 19:31 |

| petardo_21 | hello | 19:43 |

| Pazzie | janos not a recovery, with testdisk you can analyze the disk and let you read also the disk, and gives you the option to copy the files you want to a different location (for me a different hdd) | 19:44 |
| prodnix | Sokel: shame | 19:44 |

| prodnix | Sokel: is there some obvious alternative that i havent thought of? | 19:45 |
| petardo_21 | metaexploits? | 19:45 |
| Pazzie | Janos: no i just opend the partition (with testdisk, see url) and copied the data to a new hdd | 19:45 |
| Rajvi | Hi all | 19:46 |

| Pazzie | MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213560/ | 19:46 |

| Pazzie | Janos: that is correct! | 19:46 |
| Rajvi | Greetings from India!! | 19:46 |

| xibalba | Pazzie, not much linux experience i take it? try, mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom, or mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom | 20:11 |
| xibalba | that will mount te cdrom device to a folder | 20:11 |
| Pazzie | xibalba: that is trough, i am a windows expert, but a complete newbie to ubuntu | 20:11 |

| Varazir | cool good luck with the rest :) | 20:29 |
| greenit | hi, is it possible to easily make a custom image of ubuntu? so, for example, one command and ubuntu packs itself, as it is installed, into an iso? | 20:29 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: No, I meant you could do it the same way if you wanted to... many home-routers run embedded linux with the same packages you'd use on Ubuntu to achieve the same aim | 20:30 |
| XiRoN | TJ- so I install a PNAT system to my node? | 20:30 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: With virtual machines you can even set-up virtual Ethernets with virtual switches ... have one VM as your 'home-router' equivilent that routes to all the other VMs | 20:30 |
| zauberparacelsus | Okay, I just got the latest Humble Indie Bundle, and it gives the option to install software via the Ubuntu Software Center. When I click the "Download for Ubuntu" button, I'm presented with a dialog that prompts me to open the download link with xdg-open. When I click, nothing happens, it just opens a chromium window with a blank tab. How do I get it to install correctly? | 20:31 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: But I think you're asking specifically about a Linode VPS aren't you? Might be best to ask the folks that hang out in #linode on the IRC OFTC network if that's the case | 20:31 |
| jrib | zauberparacelsus: probably needs to be firefox | 20:31 |
| XiRoN | I'm not with Linode | 20:32 |
| jrib | zauberparacelsus: the default firefox has an addon that opens apt:// URLS (or something like that) | 20:32 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: sorry, my mistake. I saw someone link to a Linode article above, and mistakenly thought it was you :) | 20:32 |
| XiRoN | But I like the idea of 1 vm being the switch | 20:32 |
| XiRoN | but is that the only way? | 20:32 |
| XiRoN | Without using a router that is. | 20:33 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: Virtual Distributed Ethernet (VDE) is the virtual ethernet I talked about. I have used it myself in that way, it's very neat | 20:33 |
| zauberparacelsus | jrib: kk | 20:33 |
| XiRoN | TJ- how does that work, can you like me to some example software that you liked? | 20:34 |
| Natherul | hey, anyone here who could guide me step by step on how to install wow on ubuntu 12.04? tried playonlinux but its just throwing me errors | 20:34 |
| TJ- | XiRoN: I wrote an article on doing it some time ago now, it may be slightly out-of-date but see what you make of it: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/VirtualMachinesWithVDENetworking | 20:35 |
| XiRoN | Okay thanks : | 20:35 |
| Pazzie | Varazir: it seems to be installed now | 20:35 |
| XiRoN | :D | 20:35 |
| Pazzie | Varazir: i am now going to add a new hdd and see if linux see it | 20:35 |
| moes | ActionParsnip, That downloaded and unpacked the kernels and all the updates that were in update manager and synaptic...how is that going to make update manager notify of updates | 20:35 |

| erkan^ | hello, do someone konw where can I download a driver-deb --> acer nplify 802.11b/g/n (wi-fi)? | 20:40 |
| erkan^ | i am windows now, this laptop under ubuntu cannot connect with a internet | 20:41 |
| erkan^ | because they doesn't know what about wifi | 20:41 |
| shmup | why is that being announced | 20:42 |
| TJ- | moes: Not seen what your issue is, but are you familiar with how update-manager works? when you log-in, it is launched because it has a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/ ... if it isn't starting (and therefore notifying you) that is a good place to start looking for reasons why. "update-notifier" should be running in the background whilst you're logged in. | 20:42 |
| === E is now known as Guest47652 | ||
| ActionParsnip | moes: have to wait and see I guess, I don't use that thing personally so can't intelligently comment | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: install lm-sensors and it should install what you need | 20:47 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip: :/ hah well thanks, i'm glad that'll fix it | 20:48 |
| shmup | wish i knew how to actually fix the issue | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !ensor | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !sensors | 20:48 |
| ubottu | To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 20:48 |

| shmup | yeah i guess i see that i should have just installed sensors to begin with | 20:49 |
| computa_mike | hi - i have a question about apt. I'm looking at the man page for apt.conf - it says that the APT tool searches all files in Dir::Etc::Parts. Anyone know what that is? Can't find anything about it on google. | 20:50 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip: hm, same situation. ./configure yells at libpeas | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: what are you compiling? | 20:51 |
| shmup | http://askubuntu.com/questions/33976/is-there-a-hardware-temperature-sensor-indicator | 20:51 |
| shmup | er | 20:51 |
| shmup | https://launchpad.net/indicator-sensors | 20:51 |
| trism | computa_mike: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ is Dir::Etc::Parts by default (see the end of: man apt.conf) | 20:51 |
| jrib | computa_mike: apt-config -dump | 20:52 |
| computa_mike | trism: ah - read to the end... | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 20:53 |
| trism | jrib: nice command (remembers that for later) | 20:53 |
| agrestringere | Question: how can I ignore updates from a PPA - so it doesn't always pop up with the update manager - but install only select packages from that PPA? | 20:53 |
| ElixirVitae | Is removing programs from software center same as remove command or purge command? | 20:53 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip: precise | 20:53 |
| c_smith | ElixirVitae, just apt-get remove, apt-get purge does more than the software center does. | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install indicator-sensors | 20:54 |
| TJ- | agrestringere: The usual way to control package versions is using "pinning" but that's sometimes impractical for whole repositories | 20:54 |
| c_smith | ElixirVitae, apt-get purge removes all traces of the program outside the home folder | 20:54 |
| ElixirVitae | So, I need to remove resident files, like config files manually if I were to remove programs from software center | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: bit easier | 20:55 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip: can you give me a .. hint.. on how to even come to that conclusion | 20:55 |
| ElixirVitae | or is there a command doing that, through terminal | 20:55 |
| shmup | like a site that is useful for searching for repositories | 20:55 |
| c_smith | ElixirVitae, correct, | 20:55 |
| ElixirVitae | like autoremove | 20:55 |
| shmup | i'm no linux guru, work mostly keeps me in a windows environment | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: duckduckgo has a ppa search bang, or you can use: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 20:55 |
| c_smith | ElixirVitae, I don't believe purge removes dependancies, but it does remove config files, auto-remove doesn't touch config files | 20:55 |
| drag0nius | is there some tool like JDownloader but command line only? | 20:55 |
| shmup | yes thats awesome ActionParsnip!! | 20:56 |
| shmup | thanks, i love duckduckgo | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | drag0nius: wget | 20:56 |
| ElixirVitae | Hmm, thanks, c_smith! | 20:56 |
| drag0nius | dont think wget supports premium accounts ;d | 20:56 |
| c_smith | ElixirVitae, not a prob | 20:57 |
| ElixirVitae | I use psensor for temperature control, shmup | 20:57 |
| agrestringere | TJ: how can I set it so it ignores all updates from that PPA but still be able to apt-get install from it? | 20:57 |
| ElixirVitae | if that is still unanswered | 20:57 |
| selite | Hey guys how do I merge changes on git? | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: duckduckgo has: !ppa indicator-sensors and it will search the launchpad PPAs | 20:58 |
| selite | If I edit a file how do I make it so that the modified version appears on github? | 20:59 |
| TJ- | agrestringere: You would pin an entire repo with something like this in "/etc/apt/preferences.d/ppa-name" : "Package: *\nPin: release o=LP-PPA-<ppa-name>\nPin-Priority: 400" (\n is a line-feed) | 20:59 |
| TJ- | agrestringere: there's an example in the Ubuntu Wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Examples | 21:00 |

| selite | TJ-: Come on man help me with git. | 21:00 |
| TJ- | selite: if you're editing locally and have committed the change, you simply push the branch and/or complete local repo to the remote repository (usually one configured using git-config) | 21:01 |
| ahmwody | some one help me please, setuping ubuntu server | 21:01 |
| ahmwody | hi | 21:02 |
| selite | TJ-: Yes, first I edit locally then I push it. However, when I push it the same one appears without the differences that I've created. | 21:02 |
| selite | TJ-: And if I do something like git add source.c and then commit and then push, it says that it got rejected. | 21:02 |
| TJ- | selite: "git push" only pushes what has been committed locally. So that implies you've done "git add ...; git commit ...;" previously | 21:03 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip: the actual problem was.. libpeas-1.0 wasnt good enough, because libpeas-dev worked | 21:03 |
| shmup | and that kinda stuff i just dont understand | 21:03 |
| shmup | anyways, thanks for repository and duckduckgo bang suggestion | 21:04 |
| selite | TJ-: Yes, but on the local repo, I have the unmodified version and I've no idea how to replace it with the modified one. | 21:04 |
| agrestringere | It's the Xorg Edgers PPA, I just want the Nvidia Drivers and nothing else...problem is it floods you with Xorg and Kernel updates that I don't want... | 21:05 |
| TJ- | selite: committing a change does that. The HEAD of the branch moves to point to the new commit | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: nice | 21:05 |
| trism | agrestringere: x-updates has pretty much only the drivers: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 21:06 |
| agrestringere | trism: but I want the very latest drivers 304.48 and those aren't there yet, I find that with Nvidia you have to have the very latest stuff to get ideal performance. | 21:07 |

| jrib | SnapSnap: impossible for us to tell you. You need to read install-packages-opencog-dep.sh | 21:14 |
| SnapSnap | jrib, I figured. So once I've read it, how do I undo it? | 21:15 |

| docid | ok, let me rephrase, using snmptrapd version 5.4.3 on ubuntu 12.04, considering that the program no longer recognises disableAuthentication, what is the proper way to disable authrntication for snmp traps now? | 21:17 |
| agrestringere | On Windows I'm so used to updating to whatever version I want whenever I want, they need to do the same... | 21:18 |
| trism | agrestringere: no read further, once accepted to quantal, they will being the SRU process to precise (assuming it gets accepted, but looking good so far) | 21:18 |
| TJ- | docid: There are several places that snmp_conf will read the configuration from. It is possible that your disableAuthorization is being over-ridden by a later config file I think | 21:18 |
| b2coutts_ | USERS | 21:19 |

| wagnerjr | repost from above since I didn't get a response- hey everyone, i'm having a really weird problem and I have no idea how to even go about fixing it. Anyway, I just bought a new usb keyboard. Whenever I plug it in, it will occassionally type "qwertyuiop" and open thunderbird without any prompting from me. any ideas? | 21:49 |
| subcool | I need to create an extended partition on my hdd, infact i need to create two. | 21:50 |
| TJ- | docid: What I did was use the "-c <config-file>" option to test it and gave it "/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf" to work with | 21:50 |
| juniour | subcool y i will man???? | 21:50 |
| docid | TJ-, aye, will force it to just that one.... thanks for the help, | 21:50 |
| juniour | subcool wt you want tell me clear | 21:50 |
| juniour | k | 21:50 |
| subcool | i just read the man on that application- i dont see anything consisting of HDD support | 21:51 |
| TJ- | subcool: In gparted, when you are trying to create the extended partition, have you got the free space selected at that time? | 21:51 |
| subcool | TJ-, ya- i goto create a new partition, i try to select extended.. and its grayed out | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | widith: you can add the webupd8 ppa and get oracle java 1.7 if you want | 21:51 |

| sejwal | Greetings, I want to know if its possible to somehow install a 64 bit software into a 32bit ubuntu. | 21:52 |
| TJ- | subcool: Is the free-space the last partition (#4) ? I recall that extended always has to be the last partition otherwise it can cause problems for some operating systems | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sejwal: it won't work | 21:53 |
| moes | TJ-, Prior checked >security updates>recommended updates...daily only notify normal releases...Now shows 10.10 available for upgrade | 21:53 |
| sejwal | ActionParsnip: What would be the best way to switch to 64 bit Ubuntu from my current 32 bit setup? clean install? | 21:54 |
| TJ- | moes: Oh... you're using 10.04 currently then? | 21:54 |
| subcool | no- i have sda1 - which is my linux, then i had sda2, there is sda3 with windows, then sda4 which is an extended with my swap | 21:54 |
| moes | TJ-, Yes that is correct | 21:54 |

| cornfeed | hello hello, I have added a custom PPA source, and for some reason apt-get update is not pulling in the newest ones...is there a cache I need to flush or something?

| TJ- | moes: You're missing regular package update notifications, or is it a Release/LTS notification you're wanting? | 21:57 |
| juniour | subcool fdisk -l | 21:57 |
| subcool | nothings happening | 21:58 |
| TJ- | subcool: OK, you can't have more than one Extended partition... the way you described it just now makes me think you are trying to replace sda2 with an extended? | 21:58 |
| nemik | ActionParsnip: thanks, but the menu bar still shows | 21:58 |
| nemik | ActionParsnip: is there any way to do TRUE full screen? | 21:58 |
| subcool | TJ-, yea | 21:58 |
| subcool | TJ, juniour fdisk -l comes back with no results | 21:58 |
| FrozenFire | Does anyone know of screen magnification software for Linux that supports following the *keyboard cursor* as you type? | 21:58 |
| TJ- | subcool: Can't be done... you've got one already at sda4 slot ... you'd need to create an out-of-order logical partition in the existing extended partition | 21:58 |
| FrozenFire | Or, to use a hackish method, a means to cause the mouse cursor to follow the keyboard cursor | 21:59 |
| subcool | TJ-, what if i were to remove the extended partition and swap? | 21:59 |
| moes | TJ-, The packages for regular updates are in update manager but I have to open by menu to see them..The notification icon no longer shows up in the task bar... | 21:59 |
| subcool | TJ- honestly ill format the win parition too- its back up and massively dead. | 21:59 |

| TJ- | subcool: Yes, you can do that... annoying I know! gparted ought to help you create an out-of-order logical in the current extended partition, but maybe its not that clever. I'm pretty sure you can do it with fdisk though | 22:01 |
| moes | TJ-, Thanks for the help..will look at bug | 22:01 |
| subcool | TJ-, so do i format nearly everything? | 22:02 |
| subcool | TJ-, it shows my swap as locked | 22:03 |
| subcool | wtf is going on? | 22:03 |
| TJ- | subcool: If you create an -out-of-order logical partition in the extended you don't need to - it'll be the last partition entry in the partition table, but it'll point to the sectors before partition #3 | 22:03 |

| dash | the X desktop doesn't get displayed again until I switch to a virtual console and back to X using ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7 | 22:08 |

| TJ- | schultza: However, for your issue with "mkfs -t reiserfs ..." ... do you have the package "reiserfsprogs" installed? That contains "mkfs.reiserfs" | 22:09 |

| subcool | TJ this ting is driving me nuts- i havent finaled any of my formats yet- but i delete nearly all the partitions, then created ONE extended partition to be /var - and now it wont let me create any more | 22:10 |
| TJ- | dash: Any clues in the logs? Xorg.0.log, syslog, pm-powersave.log | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | subcool: you can ONLY create 1 "extended partition" | 22:10 |
| subcool | seriously? | 22:10 |
| TJ- | subcool: Are you trying to create the additional partitions inside the extended partition? | 22:10 |
| subcool | no... | 22:11 |
| subcool | but i suppose i have to huh.. | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: isn't it only possible to have one extended partition? | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: yes ;) | 22:11 |
| TJ- | subcool: I said earlier - you can only have ONE extended partition, and it should be after all primary partitions | 22:11 |
| TJ- | subcool: You can create as many logical partitions as you want INSIDE an extended partition | 22:11 |
| subcool | THis is what imtrying to do- since this is annoying. I am trying to resizze my /var/ partition, im also trying to create a /home/ partition. and now i have to also recreate my swap | 22:12 |
| bekks | TJ-: Thats not true :) | 22:12 |
| TJ- | bekks: which bit? | 22:12 |
| bekks | TJ-: You can create up to 15 logical partitions inside an extended partition, when using a MSDOS disk label. | 22:12 |
| TJ- | bekks: I was trying not to confuse him by being *too* specific | 22:13 |
| subcool | im use to doss stuff- | 22:13 |
| subcool | thats what i was thinking | 22:13 |
| subcool | you can have a lot of extended and logicals.. | 22:13 |
| subcool | i didnt know u can only have 1 extended | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | subcool: ONLY 1 extended | 22:13 |
| bekks | Actually, I've never seen that much partitions on a single disk in the last 20 years :) | 22:13 |
| dash | TJ-: Logs don't have any events correlated to screen poweroff/poweron, AFAICT | 22:13 |
| bekks | subcool: You can have more than 1 extended. | 22:13 |
| subcool | and if SWAP as to be extended.. | 22:13 |
| TJ- | subcool: Yes, Linux will chain up to 7 extended partitions last time I worked on that code | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | bekks: i don't think so... | 22:14 |
| bekks | You can have up to 4 extended, on a MSDOS label. | 22:14 |

| TJ- | NeNeNe: Have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient#Manually_configuring_your_connection | 22:18 |
| hfic | root_____: duplex mismatching is network speak for link speed. It's either full or half | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | root_____: sound like you have 2 cisco routers and the duplexing on the ports is not the same | 22:18 |
| dash | jrib: good question | 22:18 |
| dash | jrib: next time, i will check. :) | 22:18 |
| root_____ | like i am not able to connect to my net via len it says duplex mis match | 22:18 |

| lawltoad | hey, so i tried to boot up a 12.04 live cd on my macbook pro and it had a kenrel panic... is this a known problem? | 23:01 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213854/ | 23:01 |
| TJ- | neutron_: sudo doesn't ask for a password because you've recently run sudo/gksudo for something else and the cached privilege hasn't timed out yet | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | shadedpixel: is pulse running? | 23:02 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: I belive so, but how can I check? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | shadedpixel: ps -ef | grep pulse | 23:03 |
| califonija | loook forward | 23:03 |
| bekks | neutron_: Because you entered your password for sudo in the last x minutes. | 23:03 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: Yep, its running | 23:03 |
| neutron_ | gotcha | 23:04 |
| TJ- | neutron_: Try this: "sudo -k su" | 23:04 |
| wilee-nilee | lawltoad, A known problem on your setup or in general? This channel works best with specificities. | 23:04 |
| TJ- | neutron_: "-k" 'kills' the cached credentials | 23:04 |
| neutron_ | gotcha | 23:04 |
| califonija | specifisities are sometrhinh you neber k now | 23:05 |
| wilee-nilee | hehe like speeling right. | 23:05 |
| califonija | how they will \ | 23:05 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: However what should VLC be configured to to have it working correctly? | 23:05 |
| neutron_ | thank you | 23:05 |
| lawltoad | wilee-nilee, I'm not too familiar with macs, what would you need to know about it? I'm pretty sure its the newest OS | 23:06 |

| corey_davis | hello | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | lawltoad, Nothing for me I am quite sure I can't help, but I know the channel fairly well as far as posting exacting info. | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | vague questions are hard to answer basically. | 23:08 |
| dlentz | wilee-nilee, s/he was just asking if it was a known issue | 23:09 |
| * corey_davis test | 23:10 | |
| dlentz | hi corey_davis | 23:10 |
| wilee-nilee | dlentz, with what come on man. | 23:10 |
| corey_davis | hello dlentz | 23:10 |
| corey_davis | im obviously new to irc | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | those types of questions are hardly answered and if they are it means nothing. | 23:11 |
| dlentz | wilee-nilee, i know | 23:11 |
| corey_davis | im thinking about starting a channel just for the students in my computer science calss | 23:11 |
| dlentz | it wasn't a vague question though | 23:12 |
| corey_davis | any advice | 23:12 |
| simo_n | how i can recompile my install kernel plz ? | 23:12 |
| jcorgan | anyone that can help debug a dual-boot install issue with 12.04/Windows 7 | 23:12 |
| OerHeks | corey_davis, use Ubuntu to do that. | 23:12 |
| jcorgan | installed 12.04 from CD "alongside" Windows 7, looks like it went well, but goes straight to windows on bootup | 23:13 |
| OerHeks | jcorgan, hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu | 23:14 |
| tortib | Hello everyone | 23:14 |
| tortib | i hoep everyone is having a good day | 23:14 |
| jcorgan | will try, not sure it's even getting to grub but will let you know | 23:14 |
| tortib | i finally got openvpn to work! :D | 23:14 |
| tortib | I had a question though | 23:14 |
| tortib | i want to make sure openvpn starts up on boot | 23:14 |
| tortib | how can i make sure it does that. | 23:14 |
| FloodBot1 | tortib: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:14 |
| TJ- | tortib: Congratulations! :) | 23:15 |
| jcorgan | OerHeks: nope, it still goes straight to windows, i don't think grub got installed | 23:15 |
| tortib | TJ-: thanks buddy, how can i set openvpn to start up on boot time now? | 23:15 |
| hal | guys, could someone advise about the following dialog, that appeared when I attempted to install wine1.4 from using the Ubuntu Software Center application, please? http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/x2glwuhn/Selection_004.png | 23:15 |
| tortib | TJ-: from the command line | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | shadedpixel: the defaults are usually ok. Do you get sound in an ubuntu liveCD? | 23:16 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: I installed from the Ubuntu Minimal CD, sound was not included | 23:16 |
| tortib | TJ-: I didn't have to use bridge mode either i'm using tun instead of tap | 23:16 |
| === IboS_ is now known as IboS | ||
| ActionParsnip | shadedpixel: yes, I know. But if you noot the Ubuntu liveCD do you get sound there | 23:16 |
| tortib | just pushing the route for my router to the client so it routes all traffic through 192.168.1.1 | 23:16 |
| TJ- | tortib: openvpn will start at boot and load 'all' profiles unless you change the value of AUTOSTART in its "/etc/default/openvpn" | 23:17 |
| jcorgan | so i think i have a stock windows MBR, Windows on a bootable partition, and Ubuntu on another partition, but way for the MBR to boot to it instead of to windows | 23:17 |
| jcorgan | no way, that is | 23:17 |
| TJ- | tortib: tun's are sometimes easier to configure - just some IP routes | 23:17 |
| OerHeks | jcorgan, you can try bootrepair, but you need to be in ubuntu to do that > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 23:17 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: Yes it has been, sence 8.04 :) | 23:17 |
| simo_n | how i can recompile my install kernel plz ? | 23:17 |
| tortib | TJ-: so uncomment the AUTOSTART="all" option? | 23:17 |
| OerHeks | jcorgan, else you can repair it with the live-cd | 23:17 |
| jcorgan | ok i'll look at bootrepair, the CD I installed from has a live CD environment | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | shadedpixel: ok boot to the live Precise CD and check the installed pulse and alsa packages, then compare to your own | 23:18 |
| tortib | TJ-: oh ALL is assumed if i don't specify anything, cool. | 23:18 |
| OerHeks | !grub2 | 23:18 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 23:18 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, Do you not want to use the grub bootloader? Is this a install of ubuntu from windows? | 23:18 |
| tortib | TJ-: time to reboot and see if it works! | 23:18 |
| jcorgan | heh, i guess im not the first | 23:18 |
| shadedpixel | ActionParsnip: I shall try :| | 23:18 |
| jcorgan | wilee: i "shrunk" windows partition from inside windows, then booted from Ubuntu live CD to install into the free space | 23:19 |
| jcorgan | that all went very well | 23:19 |
| jcorgan | but it looks like grub didn't get installed | 23:19 |
| jcorgan | or got "restored" somehow by windows | 23:19 |
| jcorgan | i'll look at all the thinks you guys just posted | 23:20 |
| jcorgan | links, not thinks | 23:20 |
| jcorgan | lol | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, Cool, the bootrepair tool is okay at best it runs a script that will tel us more, you might try running it forst and posting the url of it. | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | s/tell/first | 23:21 |
| jcorgan | ok i'll boot into live cd | 23:21 |

| mike551345 | entricular, there on that same partition | 23:29 |
| OerHeks | mike551345, boot with your win7 dvd, choose mbr repair and start again with ubuntu-iso | 23:29 |
| mike551345 | OerHeks, that would no destroy the 7 partition and remove the ubuntu? | 23:30 |
| jcorgan | esorotica: try testing the RAM | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | SnapSnap: run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 23:30 |
| OerHeks | mike551345, it does not affect your win7 install. all you need after that, is wipe the non-ntfs partitions, easy | 23:31 |
| EsoRotica | jcorgan memtest86? | 23:31 |
| jcorgan | yes | 23:31 |
| mike551345 | OerHeks, ok thanks man | 23:31 |
| wilee-nilee | mike551345, You are getting various ideas which to be honest are being given without more info being needed. For example what actually has happened and the type of instal, and what you have done to fix this. | 23:31 |
| simo_n | blackshirt i want to reset them not to switch off them, i want to remove and reinstall them | 23:32 |
| blackshirt | mike551345, i think maybe better,use gparted on your live cd,and delete the windows partition | 23:32 |
| mike551345 | Sorry, this is mike's friend. No, it's a wubi install, the ubuntu system files are located on the same NTFS partition | 23:32 |
| jcorgan | wilee: boot-repair is scanning now | 23:32 |
| mike551345 | So there's no other ext4 partitions that he can just wipe | 23:32 |
| blackshirt | simo_n, what the driver used by kernel to handle your wifi chipset? | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | mike551345, YOu can remove wubi from add remove or from its file, it wil not affect a partitioned install no matter what you do. | 23:33 |
| mike551345 | wilee-nilee, do you mean you can just use add or uninstall programs in windows to remove it? | 23:33 |
| TJ- | mike551345: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation | 23:33 |
| OerHeks | oh, mike551345 then just remove the wubi from software within win7. | 23:34 |
| jcorgan | wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213896 | 23:34 |
| jcorgan | that is an awesome feature | 23:34 |
| wilee-nilee | mike551345, Wubi is made to be removed from the standard add remove area in windows, it also has a remove function in its file. | 23:34 |
| simo_n | blackshirt thats the problem, i cant figure out which of them, i have another usb adaptor connected, when i look in the network manager i see 2 adaptors, broadcom and ralink, when i unplug the adaptor i see none of them | 23:34 |
| blackshirt | mike551345, yes,you can remove it like regular program on windows | 23:34 |
| simo_n | mike or move it with bcbc script | 23:35 |
| mrgt_ | TJ-, Hey. I tried those project apps with varying levels of success. What many of them lack is the recurring task feature. Gantt Project is the best looking one and was really easy to install | 23:35 |
| torment | my unity dock is all screwed up | 23:35 |
| simo_n | just google : how to move wubi install, its a thread in ubuntu forums | 23:36 |
| mike551345 | Alright, I just checked his computer myself and it looks like he does actually have it on a seperate partition, just gonna wipe the partition and do a windows reinstall to rewrite the bootloader. I wasn't helping before because I thought it was one of those wonky wubi installs | 23:36 |
| mike551345 | thanks for the help though | 23:36 |
| TJ- | mrgt: Yeah, I'm afraid there's not much call for project on Linux | 23:36 |
| blackshirt | simo_n, you can use lspci to identify your cards and the driver used by chipset..and then you can remove the driver module and then insert again | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | the windows cd's can rewrute the mbr normally. witht he right commands/tools | 23:36 |
| HaltingState | i purchased humble indie bundle; why cant ubuntu just add this to my list of purchased software? why does it keep asking my for email password EVERY TIME | 23:36 |
| HaltingState | it does not remember email or password; its a pain | 23:37 |
| mrgt_ | TJ-, I guessed as much :( I really don't want to go back to MS Project. I used it for a group project last year and it almost drove me insane! | 23:37 |
| TJ- | mike551345: you can reinstall the MBR without reinstalling Windows, using recovery and chkdisk /mbr | 23:37 |
| TJ- | mrgt: :p ... I used to enjoy using it | 23:37 |
| simo_n | blackshirt, i have uninstalled any broadcom driver from synaptic, additional drivers and ubuntu store, and cant get ride of broadcom modules loading | 23:37 |
| jcorgan | wilee-nilee: did you get that last url? | 23:38 |
| blackshirt | simo_n, thats what you want? | 23:38 |
| tortib | TJ-: how can I set an iptables rule so it's saved and is set on boot? | 23:38 |
| TJ- | mrgt: We do have a command-line task todo manager that does recurring tasks you know: "task" | 23:39 |
| simo_n | blackshirt plz check : http://askubuntu.com/questions/190307/get-rid-of-broadcom-bcm4313-and-use-only-a-usb-wifi-adaptor-ralink | 23:39 |
| TJ- | tortib: see "man iptables-save" and man iptables-load" - but you'd be best using Ubuntu's "ufw" which can do those things for you | 23:39 |
| sokolum | goodevening to you all, i am stuck with the following, when giving the command 'DATE' in Ubuntu, there is no output | 23:40 |
| blackshirt | simo_n you can blacklist a module | 23:40 |
| tortib | ufw? | 23:40 |
| TJ- | sokolum: there is no command "DATE" ... there is "date" however | 23:40 |
| sokolum | also when doing: date --version no output | 23:40 |
| jcorgan | Ok, you guys helped me enough to get a boot-repair paste onto ubuntu.com, need help finding out how to fix it booting straight to windows instead of dual-boot option | 23:40 |
| tortib | i think iptables-save is easier | 23:40 |
| TJ- | tortib: "man ufw" | 23:40 |
| tortib | wouldn't it be? | 23:40 |
| sokolum | it is date ofcourse | 23:40 |
| jcorgan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213896 | 23:40 |
| mrgt_ | TJ-, Thanks. I was looking for a gui interface because I'll need to submit evidence of work to my supervisor. | 23:41 |
| blackshirt | simo_n, i have going to work now..sorry guys,but a lot of people here can help you | 23:41 |
| TJ- | tortib: ufw is run automatically at start-up and sets the rules... it does automatically what iptables-{save,load} do manually | 23:41 |
| jcorgan | the paste shows that the disk MBR is windows | 23:41 |
| jcorgan | so that explains the symptoms | 23:41 |
| sokolum | no any ideas, known bugs from the past or such?? | 23:41 |
| tortib | TJ-: but if i use iptables-save it will save my current values i will still be set at boot time no? | 23:42 |
| simo_n | blackshirt thanks, have a nice day | 23:42 |
| TJ- | mrgt: I know... maybe its something to add to one of the F/OSS projects, as a contribution | 23:42 |
| jcorgan | looks like there is a good Linux partition on /dev/sda5 | 23:42 |
| TJ- | tortib: no. It'll just save them to a file. You've still got to arrange for iptables-load to be executed at start-up | 23:42 |
| simo_n | please someone check and help http://askubuntu.com/questions/190307/get-rid-of-broadcom-bcm4313-and-use-only-a-usb-wifi-adaptor-ralink | 23:42 |
| sokolum | running here 2.6.24-16-generic | 23:42 |
| tortib | okay | 23:42 |
| sokolum | it was working before | 23:42 |
| jcorgan | but need either windows MBR to ask on boot or replace with grub2 somehow | 23:42 |
| sokolum | suddenly it stopped to work, command datge | 23:43 |
| sokolum | date | 23:43 |
| tortib | TJ-: does ufw automatically load on boot or do i have to specify it to load on boot? | 23:43 |
| Lyude | Yeah I know, that's what I was going to do | 23:43 |
| Lyude | I meant I was going to wipe his ext4 partition | 23:43 |
| Lyude | The one with linux | 23:43 |
| morgan | how do I add a Chromium application shortcut to the app menu on the left? | 23:44 |
| tortib | TJ-: ufw is different syntax than iptables how do i set a MASQURADE rule with ufw? | 23:44 |
| TJ- | tortib: automatically when it is enabled with "ufw enable", and it takes rules the same way as iptables. Read its man page | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, YOu have nothing in the mbr from the script here is a grub load link for this, two types a live cd and a chroot, the link defaults to the live cd. | 23:44 |
| tortib | TJ-: i just want to set iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE | 23:44 |
| sokolum | ok, no ideas here why date stopped to work? | 23:45 |
| TJ- | tortib: see also "man ufw-framework" | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, here is the link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal | 23:45 |
| tortib | I guess i could set the rule and then have rc.local run iptables-load | 23:45 |
| tortib | i really don't want to learn ufw just for ONE RULE | 23:45 |
| jcorgan | ok, off to go read the link, thanks for your help | 23:46 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, I guess windows is in the mbr you just want grub there. | 23:46 |
| TJ- | tortib: .... "ufw is in part a front-end for iptables-restore, with its rules saved in /etc/ufw/before.rules, /etc/ufw/after.rules and /lib/ufw/user.rules. Administrators can customize before.rules and after.rules as desired using the standard iptables-restore syntax" | 23:46 |
| jcorgan | wilee-nilee: i'd prefer grub but if it is a simple matter of editing Windows boot.ini (?) to offer /dev/sda5, then that's a lot quicker, no? | 23:47 |
| TJ- | tortib: You're doing things the hard way - ufw was designed to make managing netfilters rules *easier* than using iptables-{save,restore} | 23:47 |
| tortib | TJ-: can i just place the iptables rule in /etc/ufw/before.rules ? | 23:47 |
| tortib | TJ-: but the man page has no help on how to set masqurade | 23:47 |
| mrgt_ | TJ-, yeah. Something to consider. Might be fun to contribute to something like that. | 23:47 |
| TJ- | sokolum: try "which date" to see what program is being executed | 23:47 |
| sokolum | /bin/date | 23:48 |
| sokolum | TJ- : /bin/date | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, I would know nothing of boot.ini which by the way w7 does not have, you could use the 3rd party I forget the name now, but really if you are going to dual boot I would get used to grub 2 it is a great bootloader. | 23:49 |
| TJ- | sokolum: And what happens if you do "/bin/date" | 23:49 |
| sokolum | TJ- : same result | 23:49 |
| jcorgan | wilee-nilee: tells you the last time I looked at Windows booting :) I'll go off to read the grub2 page and see what I can do from the live CD. Thanks again. | 23:50 |
| tortib | TJ-: so is ufw-before-input considered to be the same as POSTROUTING? | 23:50 |
| TJ- | sokolum: That is strange! | 23:50 |
| tortib | TJ-: and how do i specify the -t nat? | 23:50 |
| sokolum | TJ- : yeah.... | 23:50 |
| sokolum | TJ- : its running on vmware | 23:50 |
| sokolum | TJ- : vmware server 2.0.2 | 23:51 |
| wilee-nilee | jcorgan, Look at my link it defaults to loading grub to the mbr with 3 commands one to isolate the partitions and the next two to load it. Thed next option is a chroot it is rather easy the instructions are there as well. | 23:51 |
| wilee-nilee | the* | 23:51 |
| tortib | TJ-: -A ufw-before-input -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE | 23:51 |
| tortib | would that work? | 23:51 |
