subcool?00:03
tortibTJ-: setting the rule in rc.local works fine enough00:03
tortibno way in hell i'm learning ufw just for one rule00:03
subcooli dont even know how to google it00:04
halJordan_U: TJ- ActionParsnip - should I be installing wine1.4-amd64 for an intel i7 box?00:04
subcooltortib, its pretty easy00:04
jribtortib: by the way, there's a package called iptables-persistent you may be interested in00:04

TJ-subcool: You define the partition usage during installation when the file-systems are formatted00:05
phunyguyhas the ability to upgrade to a beta release via do-release-upgrade been taken away?00:05
subcoolTJ-, ? would it be the label?00:05
subcoolthey are already formatted  - im about to restore the information.00:06

TJ-phunyguy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Get_Ubuntu_12.1000:07
phunyguyahh ok00:07
TJ-subcool: You could set the file-system label but its not necessary, the installer will create /etc/fstab using the UUIDs of the file-systems00:08
phunyguynever had to do the initial steps first that I can remember.00:08
phunyguyalways just ran the do-release-upgrade command00:08
phunyguythanks for the tip00:08
subcoolTJ  - i dont get it..00:08
=== entropy-2 is now known as entropy-
subcoolTJ- by installer do u mean gparted?00:08
trismphunyguy: lts default to only check for a new lts, that's why you see it on precise (but not say, oneiric -> precise)00:09
phunyguyalso to verify, if I upgrade to a prerelease version, and then when the actual version is released, I won't have to upgrade again, because I will already be there?00:09
trismphunyguy: indeed00:09
phunyguyAHHH makes sense.00:09
subcoolTJ-, ok- how about this- how do i check/make sure the partitions are mounted the correct way? -00:09
subcoolTJ- im about to mount them and copy over whats neccessary -00:09
subcoolTJ-, but its useless if they arent allocated properly00:10
ActionParsnipphunyguy: read the upgrade docs, so much better than trying to guess00:10
phunyguyforgot about the LTS part00:10
shadedpixelok, just (re)installed ubuntu minimal, is there a tutorial out there on how to properly get sound working? or can someone walk me through it?00:10
phunyguyAP! Sup boyyy00:10
phunyguy=P00:10
TJ-subcool: I'm a bit lost as to what you're actually trying to do here! Are you trying to do a chroot install of Ubuntu?00:10
subcoolnope00:11
ActionParsnipphunyguy: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal00:11
subcooli just created two partitions- one for /var and one for /home00:11
phunyguyI got it ActionParsnip, thanks00:11
ActionParsnipphunyguy: if you can't get the upgrade running, you probably shouldn't be using prerelease00:11
subcoolbut the only direction i have provided to those neccesseties where their labels00:11
halTJ-: Jordan_U ActionParsnip using synaptic, I don't have a problem.  It may have been caused by the software center not distinguising between different versions of wine1.4 - ie the 32 and 64bit archs00:11
phunyguyActionParsnip, relax.00:12
halTJ-: Jordan_U ActionParsnip I am now installing wine1.4-amd6400:12
phunyguywas just going on past experience00:12
phunyguyand I have been on 12.10 since last month00:12
codebrahi like UNity :)00:12
phunyguyupgrading another laptop, this laptop was a fresh install.00:12
codebrahi just install ubuntu 1st time00:12
codebrah:)00:12
phunyguyActionParsnip, also, does it make you nervous for me that I am running the upgrade through a SSH session?00:13
shadedpixelcodebrah, I hate Unity, but lets not start talking about that. You can just search "Unity" on the fourms if you want to talk about that00:13
phunyguyjust sayin'...00:13
codebrahi dont want to talk about it00:13
TJ-subcool: So you're adding additional empty file-systems to an existing installation?00:14
shadedpixelcodebrah, :D I know, it just turns into an arguement alot of the time00:14
codebrahsorry00:14
subcoolTJ-, yes?00:14
subcoolTJ-, replacing00:14
subcoolTJ-, my orignal /var was like 20gig. and i only used like 500mbs. of it. SO i shrank it. - ANd right now /home is apart of themain file system, i created a new partition to become /home00:15
atriusanyone know of a gtk based terminal that has a "send to all" or broadcast option for tabs? and don't say Terminator... it's broken when connecting to the machine using RDP00:15
atrius:(00:15
subcoolTJ-, im reading something about setting it up in fstab. - but it wasnt there to begin with- from what i know..00:15
newziTell me, Unity, Gnome3 or KDE?00:16
ActionParsnipphunyguy: it should be ok00:16
blackshirtsubcool, do you want replace your old /home with the new one?00:16
subcoolblackshirt, yes00:16
ActionParsnipnewzi: Unity is a shell for Gnome300:17
newzi:O So I have Gnome3?00:17
ActionParsnipnewzi: so when you use Unity, you will use Gnome300:17
newziActionParsnip: So I can still use themes?00:17
ActionParsnipnewzi: yes00:17
phunyguyYes I know, ActionParsnip... and like I said, I got confused with the LTS portion of it.  In the past I didn't have to tell it to prompt for any version, vs LTS only.00:17
shadedpixelnewzi, Yes you have it. With Unity on top :)00:17
newziActionParsnip: :D Thank You00:17
blackshirtsubcool, ensure you have copy all related stuf on your old to new one and then setup it on fstab00:17
ActionParsnipphunyguy: you are upgrading off an LTS00:17
phunyguySo your comment probably wasn't necesdary.00:17
ActionParsnipnewzi: Unity isn't a desktop environment00:18
phunyguynecessary*00:18
subcoolblackshirt, is it already in fstab?00:18
newziBye Guys :D00:18
phunyguyActionParsnip, yes I KNOW that now.00:18
rtdoswhat's a good rss reader (command line) for ubuntu-server 12.04?00:18

ActionParsniprtdos: all I did was search, look at ALL that I found.....00:20
TJ-subcool: OK ... almost the same thing. Right, there's 3 steps. 1. create the actual file-systems in the partitions ("sudo mkfs.ext4 -L <label> /dev/sd??" for each) 2. reboot in recovery mode (so /home isn't in use) and do "mkdir /tmp/mnt; mount /dev/sda?? /tmp/mnt; rsync -av /home/ /tmp/mnt/; umount /tmp/mnt" where ?? is the partition for the new home, then the same again for /var and the partition destined for /var.00:20
rtdosthanks. will check 'em out.00:21
ActionParsniprtdos: you could've done exactly the same....00:22
rtdosisn't that what this group is for? :)00:22
ActionParsniprtdos: its much better if you do a little work, then come here when you come up blank00:23
* ActionParsnip uses feedreader. Its badass00:23
TJ-subcool: 3. Edit /etc/fstab to add 2 new lines one for each. They'll be in the form "UUID=????? /var ext4 defaults 0 2" and "UUID=????? /home ext4 defaults 0 2". you'll replace those ???? with the UUID of each file-system, which you get using "blkid -o value -s UUID /dev/sda??" - again, replacing ?? with the correct device identifier00:24
FunkyELFwhat package would provide cpu temperature in the sys tray?00:24
subcoolTJ - ya, editing the fstab was what i was trying to avoid.00:25
subcool:/00:25
phunyguyWow last time I told someone to google sometihng I got the wet noodle treatment.00:25
subcoolTJ whats the command to check what they are now..00:25
TJ-subcool: When you reboot, those file-systems will be mounted at /var and /home respectively. One thing you may want to do once its proved to work is to boot from a liveCD, mount the root file-system and delete the /var/ directory ( since all its contents are no longer required, but are 'hidden' when you mount the new /var/ file-system over it)00:26
subcoolTJ- do i have to reboot into recovery? can i just do it from here in the USB-flash?00:26
TJ-subcool: If you're not working in the root file-system live, then yes, you can do it from the live/USB environment00:27
TJ-subcool: I was assuming you were still using the root file-system that contained the /var/00:27
subcooli was planning on reinstalling kubuntu onto the system that is already existant- i have 12.04 right now- and it f'ed everything up. so this is my attempt at a back/restore00:28
TJ-subcool: right now, /var/ and /home/ are just 2 more directories in the root file-system. so they don't need separate entries in /etc/fstab. That is the "file-system table"00:28
subcoolso- thats why im agasint the fstab edit, because i dont hwan to ahve to do it again00:28
subcoolwell, my var is. its on its own partition00:29
subcoolalthough fstab doesnt say anything00:29
subcooli dont really get whats going on in ur step two00:30
zykotick9subcool: you need to tell your install about your separate /var and you use fstab to do that...00:30
TJ-subcool: If it ain't in fstab it ain't being used! do "mount"  or "cat /proc/mounts" and see00:30
subcoolTJ-, thats the thing- /var has stuff in it-00:31
subcooli assumed the system put it there.00:31
subcoolok- from what i gather, step two is a backup of my home- (which i dont have room for) - but if im not running recovery and such. sicne im in liveusb. - cant i just kinda MOVE the files fromt he root filesystem to the new ones- and then remove the original?00:32
shadedpixelHow do I go about setting up audio on a fresh minimal install?00:33
zykotick9shadedpixel: what's not working?00:33
TJ-subcool: From what you said earlier, I understood that you had created 2 new partitions intended for /var/ and /home/. So you would format them, and then copy the contents of the existing /var/ and /home/ directories into them (by temporarily mounting the new file-systems to copy files across). Then you'd permanently add them to fstab so when the system boots it uses them. Once they are in use, you'd be able to delete the original /home/ and /var/ directories in the r00:34
TJ-oot file-system -  but only from a liveISO/USB boot00:34
zykotick9shadedpixel: try/install alsamixer, is everything turned up and not muted?00:34
subcoolok00:35
shadedpixelzykotick9: Its not that its not working, but its a minimal install so It dosnt have ALSA or anything included. I tried doing it myself last time but I belive I messed some things up so i re-installed00:35
TJ-subcool:  Yes, moving or copying ... the same result. Now I know you're not actually running the installation you're working on, you can avoid some of the work-arounds00:35
zykotick9shadedpixel: so what do you want to use your audio for?  install whatever that is, and hopefully you should get any sound requirements in the process...00:36
zeezgh0sthey guys i'm new to fairly new to linux. what is LVM and should i use it?00:36
shadedpixelzykotick9: I dont belvie VLC installs ALSA for you but ill check00:36
zykotick9zeezgh0st: logical/linux Volume Mounting.  if you have special partitioning needs - then maybe yes.  i don't use it myself.00:36
TJ-zeezgh0st: It's Logical Volume Management, and it allows you to flexible assign/grow/shrink/mirror/clone/snapshot file-systems without the pain of partitions00:36
* zykotick9 thinks vlc is kinda lame. mplayer ftw ;)00:37
jagginessmplayer uses work/libs from vlc00:37
zykotick9zeezgh0st: actually i think it's s/Mounting/Management/ sorry.  as i said, i don't use it ;)00:37
zeezgh0stTJ-, do most poeple use it? i have 1 drive that i paln on using it all00:38
chadams42how do I setup permissions for a webserver?00:38
shadedpixelzeezgh0st: Then no you dont need it00:38
zeezgh0stthanks,00:38
atriusso... no GTK based terminals with broadcast support aside from Terminator?00:38
shadedpixelchadams42: what exactly are you doing with the web server?00:38
shadedpixelchadams42: (putting on it)00:38
chadams42shadedpixel: I want to host multiple websites (all own by same person) and have FTP access00:39
chadams42shadedpixel: it's hosted on linode00:39
subcoolTJ-, how do i find out he UUID's ? its not working00:39
TJ-zeezgh0st: Well I use it on all my PCs. On laptops it allows me to assign space for file-systems that can grow as more is needed, and also do test installations of beta releases in separate LVMs without affecting the stable installation... and I can recover space from unwanted file-systems at will00:39
shadedpixelchadams42: Do you already have LAMP installed?00:40
zykotick9subcool: "sudo blkid" will show uuids for partitions00:40
TJ-subcool: You'd need to use "sudo" if you're not in recovery, since it required root privileges00:40
subcooloh- sudo00:40
shadedpixelchadams42: (Apache, MySQL, etc.)00:40
chadams42shadedpixel: yes and I know how to make seperate websites in apache00:40
TJ-subcool: I assumed you'd be root in the recovery when I wrote those examples00:40
chadams42I'm having trouble after I install wordpress,00:40
chadams42wordpress folder permissions are 00000:41
shadedpixelchadams42: chmox the wordpress folder to 77700:41
morganhow do I add a Chromium application shortcut to the menu on the left?00:41
phunyguythat was fun, upgrade failed, but it looks to be recovering with an apt-get upgrade -f00:41
shadedpixelchadams42: i mean chmod00:41
chadams42isn't that unsafe?00:42
corey_da1ishello00:42
shadedpixelchadams42: or 66700:42
phunyguymorgan, open chromium, then right click the icon and tell it to keep a launcher when app not running00:42
zykotick9subcool: using LABELS is easier then UUIDs.  something to look into, it'll make your life easier in the long run.  also means you can move drives around and get consistant behaviour.00:42
TJ-morgan: with Chromium running, right-click it's icon on the left and choose "lock..."00:42
phunyguy(if it is the unity launcher you are speaking of)00:42
OerHeksmorgan, open chromium, click on the icon > right mouse and add it to Unity00:42
subcoolzykotick9, thats what i was trying to do00:42
subcooli label'd them in gparted- but wanted to make sure they would be persistant00:42
TJ-zykotick9: LABELS can be duplicated a lot easier than UUIDs can though00:42
zykotick9subcool: do your labels show in the blkid output?00:43
morganSorry, I mean the tools > create application shortcut00:43
morganlike, I want to create an application shortcut to gmail and google music00:43
shadedpixelchadams42: 777 while working on it, then change it to 667 when done00:43

ActionParsnipasarch: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh00:47
subcoolhow does ur command direct whats being labeled?00:47
phunyguyasarch, if you go into the sound settings under system settings, you will see there is a slider that can increase your volume past 100%00:48
jagginessasarch, you using headsets?00:48
zykotick9subcool: example "sudo e2label /dev/sda5 var00:48
subcoolah00:48
zykotick9subcool: "00:48
phunyguyasarch, only downside is you have to do that every time the volume cant go loud enough because as soon as you go back down under 100%, it peaks at 100% again by default.00:48
asarchhttp://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4efa78fd2e59fa965d420a2b147c91e210e0dcf600:48

Flynnhow, hey do i get rid of the login manager on Xubuntu? I just want tty on startup, anyone know?01:00
jrib!text | Flynn01:00
ubottuFlynn: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode01:00
asarchI have sound volume01:00
asarchHowever, it is still low01:01
Flynnjrib: if i do touch ~/.xsession01:01
Flynnand exec awesome01:01
Flynnwould that boot awesome instead of the login manager?01:01
Flynnbtw im also implying i have awesome installed,etc01:02
jribFlynn: if you append "text", then you end up at a tty.  If you don't and just stick with lightdm, then you can just choose "user xsession script" as your session from the lightdm login screen and it will log you into awesome01:02
subcoolzykotick9, yea- i think this is going to go badly some how- u around? - ive created everything, and right now im trying to copy my stuff to their respected fodlers- but im having sudo issues01:03
jribFlynn: if you want to skip the logging in part, then you can enable auto-login in lightdm01:03

jagginesschadams42, webdav is an apache add-on. You need to enable the apache module. 2- Apache's config needs to be updated, 3- you need an htdigest file01:07
chadams42ok, I'm searchng google looking for a guide01:08
jagginesschadams42, there's alot of bad guides.. but basically, the apache config isnt complex.. you can pm me.. it takes 2 seconds actually01:08
chadams42I already have ftp working01:08
jagginesschadams42, ftp doesnt work well through firewalls..01:09
chadams42and this fixes my prmission problems?01:09
asarchActionParsnip: I don't know01:09
jagginesschadams42, you dont need to change permissions.. because it's always apache www-data doing the writing01:09
asarchWhere is aMsn?01:09
chadams42jagginess: "... because it's always apache www-data doing the writing" as long as I use webDAV?01:10
jagginesschadams42, the htdigest authentication file allows you to setup users who can connect to that webdav folder01:10
jagginesschadams42, webdav=="http+write"01:10
jagginesschadams42, it's a mountable filesystem01:10
mike3000Does anyone have any experience with missing paritions by using a drive without a usb adapter (ie making an external drive internal)?01:13
zykotick9mike3000: "sudo fdisk -l" and/or "sudo blkid" are the partitions just not mounted?01:14
mike3000not listing under /dev/01:14
mike3000with a usb adapter, it shows sda1 and sda5 where i would mount sda5 and be OK01:15
mike3000without the adapter i only get sda101:15
mike3000its a truecrypted hard drive, but the guys on the truecrypt channel told me to come here because it sounds like a linux issue01:15
stevecammike3000, sounds like the issue lies with the encryption01:17
mike3000but it works 100% with the adapter01:18
mike3000ive been using it the past 3 months as an external moving it into an internal box now01:18
cynicalthat's confusing01:18
cynicalsince there should be no difference with the drive01:19
mike3000right01:19
stevecamwas the encryption done in the external reader01:19
mike3000yes01:19
cynicalI would back it up and then repartition it while it is plugged in internally01:21
stevecammike3000, have you got the right software to read it on your pc01:22
mike3000ahh i was hoping it wouldnt have to come to that =(01:22
cynicalI don't think udev would have a problem reading your drive if it wasn't encrypted01:22

upgrayedddHi, is there a way to disable Unity taking over the Super key? Whenever I hit Super+1 for example, it opens up the first program in the Unity Panel, which is inconvenient as I'm trying to use Super with XMonad as a mod key, where Super+1 should go to the first workspace. I've tried disabling all Unity Panel and Dash related things with CompizConfig Settings Manager.01:24
Captain_Clawis there an official truecrypt ppa for ubuntu?  couldn't find it in the software center01:24
stevecamCaptain_Claw, no01:25
mike3000Not for ubuntu specifically01:25
stevecamwell, truecrpyt have a deb file but no "ubunutu" official release01:25
Hatorizonefull, spesific with backbox? Maybe you can be more detail01:25
Captain_Clawhmm ok01:26
zonefullwell its about the sound :( just got it installed01:26
zonefullhas no sound at all01:26
mike3000Thanks guys I'm out01:26
stevecammike3000, it sounds like a software issue, maybe you haven't set things up properly in the truecrypt utility, try deleting all your settings and try again, sometimes that works01:26
Hatorizonefull, that spesific to some chipset card..what do you have?01:27
zykotick9zonefull: backbox is an ubuntu derivative, it isn't supported here.  see if they have an irc channel perhaps.01:27
stevecammike3000, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrueCrypt there is a page on truecrypt01:27

JasonOupgrayeddd: You can try Keyboard and go to custom shortcuts.01:28
stevecammike3000, i would imagine that it isnt supposed to01:31
stevecammike3000, im just reading up on truecrypt, plausibility deniability, will just look like random data if not setup correctly, and fdisk doesn't read random data, it reads partition tables01:32

upgrayedddJasonO: Is there a way to call the Ubuntu Settings from the commandline (I can't seem to access the Unity Dash or Panel right now...)01:34
stevecamupgrayeddd, is it difficult for you to access a web browser?01:35
upgrayedddstevecam: no01:36
upgrayedddbecause I know Chrome is google-chrome and firefox is firefox etc01:36
upgrayedddI'm in one right now incidentally stevecam01:36
stevecamupgrayeddd, ok, just making sure01:37
JasonOupgrayeddd: Yeah, just try: gnome-control-center01:38
upgrayedddthank you JasonO01:39
JasonOupgrayeddd: No problem.01:40
upgrayedddthere doesn't seem to be a way to disable Unity from taking over the Super key in Keyboard, just a way to set/disable some custom keyboard shortcuts01:41
JasonOupgrayeddd: Exactly, because you can't. Are you trying to remove Unity?01:42
upgrayedddSure, why not JasonO. I was under the impression this is a difficult thing to do with Ubuntu 12.04. I guess I should search online for steps to do this.01:42
stevecamupgrayeddd, im using gnome without unity quite fine01:43
upgrayedddI like the shell for things like managing sleep states and wifi and brightness. Otherwise, I don't really care for the Unity Panel or Dash01:43
JasonOupgrayeddd: Yes, if you want to replace it with the gnome desktop instead. Go for it.01:43
ActionParsnipupgrayeddd: could make a quickmenu for the sleep state :)01:45

kiazamiand if there is option to select which os to boot by default: what does grub do than?03:21
nrdbkiazami, usally grub will auto. boot last selected option.03:22
greeniekinI tried to use the livecd on my T91MT and only hallf the screen showed. I used this link and it fixed the livecd http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/ubuntu-12-04-gma500-poulsbo-boot-options/. Now I installed it onto the hard drive but the screen just stays black nothing happens. On that page it mentions screen going black and says to change a grub cfg and run sudo update. Which I can not because I can not see anything03:22
kiazamiok tnx all I try to do it03:22
kiazamicusson03:22
nrdbkiazami, it can also be controlled in the config files.03:23
greeniekinI am assuming it is a boot option. how can i change boot options of grub without using ubuntu03:23
nrdbadding routes other than default with networkmanager seems to be broken ... anyone got this to work?03:24

NautilusActionParsnip: ++ thanks for the grub help05:18
shockingbehavurok then05:18
woot-0854glades20_: sorry05:18
ActionParsnipglades20_: the PPA address on the PPA address is used. You would run:  sudo add-apt-repository pp:address   and it will be added and the key imported05:18
ActionParsnipNautilus: yeah people recommending GUI grub apps basically don't have a good unsderstanding of grub05:19
glades20_ok, trying that05:19
ActionParsnipNautilus: the number dictates the point it appears in grub, renaming it lower than 10 means it will go above all Linux kernels :)05:19
iNTElactionparsnip : is registering is so hard like that05:19
ActionParsnipiNTEl: there are a lot of steps but its what is required05:20
iNTElk05:20
rmccuePecker: You're right about it not liking root shell, it complains about not having runlevel05:20
iNTEli think i give up the idea05:20
woot-0854<- failed at grub||watched hak5 <- wins at grub05:20
ActionParsnipiNTEl: signing the code of conduct was a real pain for me05:20
iNTElhhhhhhhhhhh05:20
ActionParsnipiNTEl: wow, nice staying power05:20
iNTEleven u05:20
ActionParsnipiNTEl: do you always give up so easy?05:20
PeckerActionParsnip: or I recommend grub GUI apps cause it makes life much easier than dealing with the complex mess of grub2. i miss ye old menu.lst05:20
iNTElya sometimes05:20
ActionParsnipiNTEl: jeez05:20
rmccuePecker: Then I get "the distribution-provided pre-install script failed". I'm guessing I should quit before I screw anything up.05:21
=== ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0
iNTElwhen i see my lvl isn't identical05:21
iNTElso i try to get some bonus XD05:21
Peckerrmccue: yeah it wants runlevel 3, and the pre-install script erro has shown up ever since 10.04, driver installs just fine05:21
woot-0854Pecker: I also get a dev/sr0 error on boot with those os's05:21
rmccuePecker: Aha. Can I go to runlevel 3 without using telinit?05:21
ActionParsnipPecker: just move the entris in /etc/grub.d and it changes the order. You can put memtest at the top if you like. grub 2 is waay easier then old grub as the changes stay each time as the configs set it up how ou want05:21
ActionParsnipPecker: plus grub2 can boot ISO files :)05:22
glades20_grr I think thats for individual addresses. I'm just using the update manager and software center.05:22
rmccueAh, I see why the pre-install script is failing, Ubuntu has `exit 1` in it to stop it from overwriting the default ones05:22
NautilusActionParsnip: yea i didnt want grub gui overkill, but I have to say grub seems complicated.  Must be reasons why.  Seemed like you knew a preset I could move into place05:22
Peckerdoes the 10.04 version of grub do the ISO files? just can t get into unity here lol05:22
ActionParsnipglades20_: I have a script to import keys if yu miss them. Dead handy05:22
Peckerrmccue: not that i know of05:22
iNTElActionparsnip : after i installed Xfce my ubuntu login screen replaced by Xubuntu05:22
woot-0854Nautilus: boot: /kernel /initrd  some uuid or premissions and *bam*05:23
Peckerare you able to get to the driver install wher you got the script error message ok?05:23
ActionParsnipNautilus: you'll learn things with time05:23
Peckerwoot-0854: what are you talking about05:23
iNTElActionparsnip : should i remove Xfce05:23
mpmadoes anyone know that the battery-indicator is called in ubuntu 12.04? I want to run it as a standalone program05:23
woot-0854Pecker: grub05:23
glades20_the point is to disable that function altogether so I don't have to find every single key or address05:23
lotuspsychjeActionParsnip: you know how i can open pdf with mupdf as default, cant find it in defaults05:23
NautilusActionParsnip: I've done it before, last time around was grub1.  Even if I could retain memory that long it's outdated ;)05:23
rmccuePecker: Yep, installing it now05:23
iNTElActionparsnip : all what i miss with ubuntu is my .exe files05:24
ActionParsnipiNTEl: if you reinstall the lightdm package it should switch back (I believe Xubuntu uses lightdm too). You should have only install xfce4 to get xfce barebones, you can run Gnome apps in xfce05:24
glades20_@Actionparsnip : that may be helpful05:24
iNTEli was think Xfce is good05:24
iNTElbut the ubuntu interface have no replacement05:25
rmccueWhile I'm here: is there any good graphical bootloader? Grub2 is still text-based, I'm looking for something with a little nicer graphics.05:25
ActionParsniplotuspsychje: i think in /usr/share/mupdf.desktop it is set to hidden. You can then right click a PDF file and select mupdf to open it with05:25
mpmaanyone?05:25
mpmaubuntu battery monitor, what is is called?05:25
woot-0854iNTEl: kubuntu?  is fun05:25
Peckermpma: check installed apps? I dotn use 12.04 so couldnt tell ya what it is05:25
ActionParsniprmccue: there is BURG but its not supported here, considering its on the screen for a few seconds I'm suprised you even care05:25
iNTElwoot-0854 : ty , but i like ubuntu more05:25

iNTElwoot-0854 : i respect ur opinion and would like to keep mine05:26
iNTElin the beginning05:26
ActionParsniprmccue: what is the output of:  lsb_releae -sc05:26
rmccueActionParsnip: Sure, it's only on the screen for a few seconds, but I prefer something more polished than a text UI :)05:27
glades20_Actionparsnip : what was that imprt script you had mentioned?05:27
rmccueActionParsnip: `precise` (assuming you misspelled lsb_release)05:27
woot-0854iNTEl: sry didn't mean to bash ur opinion05:28
iNTElwoot-0854 : remember that kubuntu is just ubuntu with KDE interface05:28

iNTElwoot-0854 : i can't understand u ( still newbie )05:29
rmccueActionParsnip: Cheers.05:29
iNTElActionparsnip : so how many days u take to register ?05:30
woot-0854iNTEl: ubuntu has a desktop version and a server version.  the server version is only command line05:30
Peckerrmccue: did noveau get disabled?05:30
rmccuePecker: Still appearing in dmesg, so I guess not.05:30
iNTElwoot-0854 : am using desktop and its perfect 4 me05:30
ActionParsnipglades20_: you can then run stuff like: sudo getkey A7E13D78E4A4F4F405:30
ActionParsnipglades20_: and the key will import05:30
woot-0854iNTEl: but you can add gnome or kde or xfce ect05:31
ActionParsnipglades20_: you can see the code you need to use with:  sudo apt-get udpate05:31
iNTElwoot-0854 : on the server V or the destop ?05:31
Peckeri remember the installer sued to add a disabled to noveau, then reboot and then youd have to run the installer again to finish05:31

woot-0854Fellow Ubuntu Users;     I have been using Ubuntu to rescue pc's from fail for the last 5 years.  I was wondering if there was a better (text-based) partition manager than fdisk?05:42

Peckerwoot-0854: parted05:43
iNTElban means i can't log this channel again ?05:43

Peckeri believe that is text-based (use gparted all teh time here)05:43
iNTEli mean my blocking my ip05:43
ActionParsnipwoot-0854: if you are familiar with fdisk, why change. What else do you want the app to do. Its a partitioner...05:43

rmccueI'm getting a fairly cryptic error when running xrandr --addmode: "X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)"05:56
ActionParsnipwolfbyte: its a different OS, it manages file systems differently05:57
Spoomi need to reinstall windows on a busted hard drive, i'm running ubuntu from a live CD, does anyone know if using shred on my hard drive and recursively going through all files will make it good to rewrite over?05:57
rmccueI did xrandr --newmode with the output of `cvt 1440 900 60`, but doing --addmode gives me that error.05:57
woot-0854Spoom: testdisk and photorec05:57
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: im complete noob with linux...i dont even know what appdb is, muchless how to find...can you give a lil more info plz05:58
woot-0854Spoom: they are bot apt-get install testdisk05:58
wolfbyteI perfectly understand that, but I thought Ubuntu was all about the best user experience05:58
woot-0854both*05:58
Spoomk i'll try that out05:58
Jordan_USpoom: Are you worried about the files being recovered by someone else? Are they secret?05:58
ActionParsnipSpoom: no need, the windows installer can remove the linux partitions and make its own, install to only a portion of the available space to save having to resize05:58
Spoomno i don't care about them being recovered05:58
Spoomit's just that the data on the drive is a little bit messed up and like05:58
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: use web searches. Even the simplest search will find it. I promise05:58
Jordan_USpoom: Then shredding is pointless.05:58
Spoomwindows won't install over what's already there05:58
Spoomthanks for the responses05:59
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: kk05:59
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: try using a little initiative, it really goes far05:59
glades20_would running Ubuntu in VirtualBox be causing these issues for me?05:59
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: even if you literally search for just: appdb  you find what you need.05:59
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: being new to linux is so over used. I am VERY sure you are not new to using the web to find out new stuff, are you?05:59
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: lol, ive been trying to work on this for the past 8 hours...learned ALOT in that time as far as how to use terminal to get stuff done...still dont know too much tho06:00
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: but you are good at finding new stuff out online....yes?06:00
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: you are correct in that...just half asleep and not thinking completely straight atm lol, yeah im searching it now06:00
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: so how is this any different?06:00
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: oh ok, appdb as in wine correct?06:01
ActionParsnipgypsy_blood: yes as you are running a windows app06:01
gypsy_bloodActionParsnip: ok...well, yeah i have wine...i have the game fully installed...the question wasnt about how to install, was about how to set up a port06:02

ubottuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash06:08
rmccueI'll reiterate my problem: trying to set custom resolution, created new mode with xrandr using output of `cvt 1440 900 60`, attempting to do `xrandr --addmode` and it gives me BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)06:08
rmccuewoot-0854: It's not actually doing anything yet.06:08
woot-0854rmccue: if you # out.  it might auto config06:09
woot-0854rmccue: it might not work06:10

ansiiHello everyone.. i have a query.. i have a DV6 laptop 1152TX which has 2 headphone jacks.. how can i stream different audio on different jacks06:18
ansiican anyone answer my query??06:18
ansiiHi ActionParsnip :)06:18
woot-0854ansii: one could be left, one could be right06:18
ActionParsniphi ansii06:19
crizisshould be doable with pulseaudio06:19
crizisansii, click sound icon at top bar > settings06:19
ansiiwoot-0854 , what do u mean06:19
ansiicrizis and then06:19
crizisi don't know, play around with pulseaudio panel06:20
crizis:p06:20
criziswhenever you have software running iirc you can define to what target it streams the audio06:20
woot-0854ansii: you have do deal with irq's at times06:20
crizisansii, actually, search for 'pulseaudio' in software center, there's pulseuaudio settings tool06:20
ansiiokay.. woot-0854 how do i deal with that06:21
crizisthis lets you define targets per application, ubuntus default one doesn't it seems06:21
booh-ActionParsnip,  I saw this page before, nothing interesting in it.06:21
woot-0854intrupt requests?  I think you would have to mod prioritys.  might have to set dma's too06:21
ansiiCrizis , there is nothing called as pulseaudio settings tool06:22
ansiiin software centre06:22
criziswell, my ubuntu is in finnish so i don't know exact english name :P06:22
ansiiwoot-0854 : sounds exiting. but how do i achieve all that06:22
crizisjust look around the search results06:22
ansiiis it Pulse audio manager?06:23

woot-0854you know crtl+alt+f2 is a terminal screen right?07:07
MoonlightningYeah.07:07
blackshirtmoonlighting, i think you should have a bit understanding on apt system...maybe bit a hack on /var/lib/dpkg/status file07:07
woot-0854eh thats what I would use and just grub into safe mode07:07
woot-0854good luck07:08
Moonlightningwoot-0854: what's the difference between safe mode and normal mode?07:08

woot-0854safe mode I don't think will prompt the update unless its a kernel package and if thats the case and you cant purge the package before the update I would report it07:09
Moonlightningwoot-0854: also, I have yaboot, not grub07:09
nate_h_so, say i have a package, mysql-server.  I want to install the package, but I don't want to use the default data-dir, is there a way to list all the pre-seed options for a package, or some other way I can force the installer to pick a different initial datadir?07:10
woot-0854Moonlightning: you know ur calls for it?07:10
Moonlightningwoot-0854: no. XD07:10
woot-0854Moonlightning: I dont know yaboot07:10
subdesignits a unity error when I cant drag a app window form one monitor to the second one?07:11
subdesignits not permanent error07:11
nate_h_or can specifying the data-dir only be done at package build time07:12
woot-0854Moonlightning: I found a purge if you agree to it then disagree07:16
Moonlightningwoot-0854: wait, if you agree, there's a way to disagree later?07:17
woot-0854Moonlightning: so after you agree to it, reinstall it then sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall ttf-mscorefonst-installer07:17
woot-0854I guess that would leave you to before you agreed to it07:18
MoonlightningBut I don't want to agree to it! >.<07:18
woot-0854ya the only fix I found online was that one "If you've accidentally said you don't agree to EULA" so instead of --reinstall it would just be sudo apt-get --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer.  might mess up wine07:19
MoonlightningBut there IS no way to say you don't agree!07:19
MoonlightningThere's an 'Ok' button, and that's it.07:20
MoonlightningThe /reason/ I killed the dpkg process is because there's no way to disagree. XD07:20
woot-0854Moonlightning: well sorry.  i would agree to disagree so to speak07:20

Moonlightning...umm...?07:24
bazhangwoot-0854, its ubuntu support only.07:24
MoonlightningMove on from my problem?07:24
bazhangMoonlightning, you need to accept the license agreement to install that particular set of fonts.07:25
woot-0854bazhang: think about it if wine says yes I agree that I will not use this text on a linux box from a linux box you have broken the agreement when you say yes07:25
woot-0854bazhang: it is very important to read eula's07:25
Moonlightningbazhang: I don't /want/ to install it, though!07:25
MoonlightningI just want the borked package off my system. x.x07:25
bazhangwoot-0854, wine has nothing to do with this. the microsoft core fonts is not via wine07:25
MoonlightningWhy is EULA'd software allowed in the repos, anyway? Isn't it supposed to be all free? >.<07:26
woot-0854Moonlightning: you could live into the box locate the package on the disk and manually remove it07:26
AzelphurMoonlightning: there are different repos for free software and proprietary software07:27
adoresHow do I switch from one language layout to another with shortcut button on ubuntu 10.10 ?07:27
MoonlightningAzelphur: I'm pretty sure I never added the non-free repos to the list...07:27
AzelphurMoonlightning: they are enabled by default iirc.07:28
Azelphuryou can disable them though.07:28
woot-0854Moonlightning: freeware, shareware, both can be non-free and non-share :(07:28

adoresIt's all about my weak GPU with 32MB memory :(07:29
adoresI've tried alt+ctrl and vice versa but seems not working07:29
woot-0854Moonlightning: you can try a usb boot. mount the /dev/disk cd into the mounted dir and locate ur package07:30
Moonlightningwoot-0854: why can't I do it from a normal boot?07:31
lotuspsychjeim looking for an usb wifi stick for ubuntu that boost ranges to pick up more ssid's, anyone knows a good one?07:31
woot-0854root premissions take place on the location of the FSH ie the flash drive instead of the hard disk07:31
adoresthere is device that boost your range but will cost about 150$07:31
Moonlightningwoot-0854: wha?07:31
MoonlightningI do have root access...07:32
woot-0854Moonlightning: sudo is almost su is root07:32
ShapeShifter499hi07:32
woot-0854Moonlightning: so sudo su on a live or fresh boot to get root07:33
Moonlightningwoot-0854: why can't I just get root on a normal boot?07:33
ShapeShifter499how do I make one swap partition primary over the others?   like I want swap partition 1 to to the first used over any other07:33
woot-0854the device is busy. the resource for you to interacte with the kernel seems to be stuck in a process.  so if you are on another disk then you can execute directives w/o the premissions from the broken install07:34
Moonlightningwoot-0854: can't I just reboot, then?07:34
edlangShapeShifter499: see the -p flag07:35
edlang       -p, --priority priority07:35
edlang              Specify  the  priority  of the swap device.  priority is a value07:35
woot-0854if the process dosen't take hold during boot up.  then i would see dmseg|tail07:35

Eaglemanand /media is mounted on the boot disk?07:56
llutz_Eagleman: mountpoint depends on the usage. if you want to make it available for all users, /media/smthng would be ok. if it is just for one users data, ~user/data would be an idea07:57

Deutopiamunz; you said you downloaded it from the software center. if you cant get it there, check the game's website.08:14

spartan29okay...thanks...actually i don't know much of computers...actually i am a geneticist08:15

zetheroowhat is the command to specify the home folder for a newly created user?08:16
Kartagiszetheroo: -d I think08:16
Deutopiayou need to contact the manufacturer or get a refund from the credit card company08:16
Kartagiszetheroo: that's a useradd switch. did you want to do afterwards?08:17
Deutopiayou dont call microsoft and ask them for help with purchasing issues with another game company.08:17
zetherooKartagis: ok, I know that is the 'option' but I am not sure how it is used ... 'useradd -d newuser /directory/path'  ?08:17
crizisspartan29, kopete (kde's instant messenger) can do facebook iirc, also empathy and pidgin (gnome) can use facebook chat08:17
Myrttispartan29: you can use Facebook Chat with Empathy08:17
Myrttispartan29: or Kopete, as crizis said08:17
MunzxDeutopia : i have bought it months ago!!! ..... and i dont want to get refund , i just want to have it installed on my system !08:17
MoonlightningIs there a way to specify a different shell for `at` to use?08:17
Kartagiszetheroo: useradd -d /path/to/home newuser08:17
Deutopiayou dont call microsoft and ask them for help with purchasing issues with another game company.08:17
spartan29yeah...i know that...i was using ubuntu's unity interface for a long time..switched to kde today08:18
zetherooKartagis: well I would like to create the new user account with the path to the home folder ... in one command if possible08:18
tsimpsonMunzx: there should be a "File -> Reinstall Previous Purchases" option in the software center08:18
zetherooKartagis: will that command do it?08:18
spartan29there empathy is already integrated isn't it?08:18
Jordan_UMunzx: Go through the process of installing it again, you will be asked to enter your Ubuntu single sign on user name and password, and you should then be able to download the app again without re-paying.08:18
Deutopiayou need to talk to the people who made or distribute the game. ubuntu did not sell it to you. ubuntu did not make it.08:18
Jordan_UMunzx: If you get to a point where it asks you for credit card information then you have done something wrong.08:19
Kartagiszetheroo: then do useradd -m newuser08:19
MunzxDeutopia : yes , but they M$ do not provide a softaware center "yet"  , i thought "ubuntu software center " is like "itunes" or "amazon store" that i can get my apps that i paid for  whenever i want!08:19

PastulioHey everybody!08:54
PastulioQuick question. What's the best way of updating a program to it's lates version? (e.g. I would like Gimp 2.8 and VirtualBox 4.2 on my ubuntu LTS)08:55
PastulioA lot of site mention adding a ppa08:55
PastulioBut how can I be sure to trust this source?08:55
=== root____1 is now known as userubuntu
cfhowlettPastulio: for best results use Ubuntu software center.08:56
MonkeyDustPastulio  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to get the latest supported versions08:57
MonkeyDustPastulio  if you want to go beyond what's in the repos, you can get ppa's, but they are not supported08:57
llutz_if those versions were in the repos, one wouldn't need a ppa08:58
PastulioOk thanks cfhowlett and MonkeyDust08:58
PastulioI would like to go beyond what's in the repos08:58
cfhowlettGood luck, have fun.08:58
Pastuliobut would I better compile from source or add the ppa?08:58
PastulioI presume adding the ppa will also enable updates in the software update manager?08:58

k1lakis: http://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/USB  says its supported by the kernel modul usbvision , but couldnt find more about it09:39
johnmakis: 0573:4450 is the manufacturer/device ID that matters, since its used for matching against drivers. Looking through, its suppored by the "usbvision" driver.09:40
crazydiphow do i check my software center purchase history?09:40
tsimpsonEagleman: depends what you mean by "smart"?09:40
johnmakis: usbvision works as part of v4l, so any v4l application will be able to use it as a capture card etc. I've never looked for linux based PVR style software for a desktop though, but theres many specific PVR like products.09:41
akisso that means that the device is already recognized and installed?09:41
Eaglemantsimpson this provides me a nice overview of my smb shares in one folder, but i am looking for a way so that some users are not able to see some shares, and since ln -s gives 777 rights to those links09:41
llutz_akis: "lsmod | grep usbvision"09:41
johnmakis: no, it means that the device ID is known, and the usbvideo driver is what you need to drive it.09:41

johnmakis: but you'll still need some v4l pvr-like software to use it09:44

TJ-slawuta: To debug it is often useful to "Print to File" and the examine the captured output for signs of the items you're missing. That helps you discover if the items are being sent to the printer at all, or being filtered out by the driver(s)11:57

sgo11twitchie, thanks for the reply. just saw your post. that means regardless the change I did to liveusb with persistent storage, when installing to harddisk, the liveusb will always use the original iso. is this right? what if I uninstall some packages from liveusb. maybe they are read-only? I haven't tried yet.13:39

TJ-chamunks: no, it is simply to allow a 32-bit CPU to address beyond the traditional 32-bit 4GB boundary... it gets a few extra address lines/bits13:45
chamunkstwitchie, if it was for me I'd run either of those this girl is crazy and kinda not great with computers she got a virus in windows once so now shes terrified to use the machine.13:45

Eaglemanskype is p2p and mumble and teamseak are used with a server14:25
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, teamspeak, you can predict the path14:25
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, teamspeak is client -> server <- client14:25
Eaglemanway better voice quality14:25
vinceableworldWhich means what exactly?14:25
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, skype, is P2P, with quite random routing14:25
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, which means communications arent truly secure.14:25
rgenito_heh14:25
TheLordOfTimes/truly/as/14:25
vinceableworldWell anything going thru a server isn't exactly all that secure?14:25
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, i wrote a security opinion on skype, your communications between you and your friend could be routed through, say, China14:26
rgenito_TJ- thanks :)14:26
vinceableworldic...14:26
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, in TeamSpeak, its routed through that server, but its not directly P2P14:26
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, so rather than going through a node in, say, China, the node *is* the server14:26
vinceableworldcomprehend.14:26
Eaglemanisnt the node automaticly picked in skype14:26
TheLordOfTimeEagleman, mhm14:26
TheLordOfTimeEagleman, and you can't define the route14:26
Eaglemansome one in the chatbox is the node14:26
Eaglemanor server14:26
TheLordOfTimeEagleman, no, there's megamodes and supernodes14:27
TheLordOfTimearound the world14:27
vinceableworldokay so teamspeak is downloaded... just click on the file .run ?14:27
TheLordOfTimeEagleman, i'm not going to explain stuff ;P14:27
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, you'll need a server to connect to, but generally yes.14:27
TheLordOfTimevinceableworld, if you don't have a server, its a moot point14:27

rgenito_i was thinking the lease time with the router (even though i'm not exactly sure what that is) .... but it'd be weird that every router i am connected to does this16:50
deadmundrgenito_: the client can request a certain lease time but by default it does not.  The router determines the lease time (since it is the dhcp server_16:50

B0g4r7_Hi, I'm running Natty on an Atom-based system.  I find that whenever my CPU temperature reaches some (still unknown) temperature threshold, Gnome constantly pops up the "shut down this computer" dialog, as if I were repeatedly pressing the power button on the front of the system.  Is there any way to fix this?18:52
B0g4r7_59C seems to be hot enough to trigger it.18:52
Lasivianscrew it, i'll just update to 12.04 and give myself more headaches :)18:53
B0g4r7_If I load the CPU up for too long, it'll start happening after a while.18:53
Lasivianat least I know what is likely to happen, right? heh18:53
B0g4r7_Take the load off, temp goes down, all good until I load it up again and it gets "too hot" again,18:54
B0g4r7_IMO, 59C is not "too hot" for the CPU.18:54
BluesKajB0g4r7_, what's your defintion of "load up" ?18:55

firesofmayHi, I am getting held back packages for emacs. And If I do a dist-upgrade, after it finishes I can't see emacs anywhere. Any help?18:59
LasivianI was running 10.04 anyway, that probably won;t be supported much longer18:59
B0g4r7_I'm wondering if I can change the threshold in software somewhere.19:00
krababbelB0g4r7_: 90C should refer to a virtual core temperature, which is computed, not measured directly19:00
B0g4r7_That and also the behavior of popping up the dialog continuously is broken.19:00
krababbelit is probably hardwired to protect the cpu19:00
B0g4r7_Well something in Gnome is triggering this box to pop up.19:00
Lasivianyeah, april 2013, time to update19:00
B0g4r7_If it were hardwired I would expect it to take some action besides just attempting to prompt the user.19:01
B0g4r7_Some action like powering-off the system.19:01

TJ-subcool: You mean, for a GUI log-in, or just a standard console ?20:37
KishiDoes anyone, by a chance, know what could possibly cause inverted colours on all YouTube videos? I get this both on Firefox and rekonq, and It works perfectly on Windows, so it's the OS20:37
subcoolTJ-, kinda both? - im not given the chance to gui- log in- and then i also receive those errors i just mentioned when logging into terminal20:37
bekksBEC: Then copy them backup to your ~/.gnupg/20:37
SilfenXKishi: thats what you get when you have too many bells and whistles and switches and leavers20:37
TJ-subcool: Are you able to boot into a recovery environment from GRUB ?20:37
babilenActionParsnip: Ok, we can try that. Given that she uses Ubuntu most of the time anyway I just think that it might be a better solution to actually perform a real installation and not rely on whatever strange things wubi is doing.20:38
ActionParsnipbabilen: `wubi is installed to a file on your NTFS, if the file system is inconsistant then it directly affects ubuntu.20:38
KishiSilfenX: What was that supposed to mean?20:38
subcoolTJ-, im brought to a recovery options menu- but from there im kinda confused and stuck. when i choose shell, it wont let me log in with my user..20:38
=== matt_ is now known as Guest98769
ActionParsnipbabilen: yes I'd go for a clean install of precise. fixes a lot of things. I think wubi is a nasty idea20:38
babilenActionParsnip: I am aware of that. I'll investigate this further from the Windows host, but will probably just replace the entire installation with a real one.20:38
TJ-subcool: Using recovery, you are 'root' all the time, you shouldn't need to log-in as a user whilst you fix the system20:39
SilfenXKishi: that linux still is for tech geeks and tinkers20:39
babilenActionParsnip: Yeah, wubi feels wrong, but I am not too familiar with its implementation. Thanks for the tips and may you have a nice evening.20:39
BECbekks: all files? (.conf|.gpg|)? replace the ones in my current home? (what would happen to contents of the currents?)20:39
TJ-babilen: One way to find out where the bottle-neck is, would be to check if the kernel is spending a lot of time waiting on I/O "sudo iotop"20:39
KishiSilfenX: I am aware. I hoped to find those geeks here, though.20:40
bekksBEC: When overwriting files, the overwritten file content is lost. Thats what happens when overwriting files. :)20:40
retrorexhey can I use e2fsck on linux to check for errors in windows partition20:40
bekksNo.20:40
p1l0tSo I just noticed after installing ubuntu server off a usb I cannot reboot without the usb. When I put the key in it boots off the HDD though..20:40
KishiSo I could get help with some issues  until I'm educated well enough to solve them on my own20:40

uberhonkyguys, I have to interact with a gui on a remote system. I do so via ssh -X and bring up said program. Thing is, it needs to run for hours and hours and hours, so i would like to somehow suspend the whole thing, graphics and all to the BG. And then at a later time or from another computer resume that graphical window, is this possible?20:47
wilee-nilees/is20:47
retrorex@bekks k thakz20:47
TJ-babilen: OK, what processes are running when you see the activity for mount.ntfs ? Maybe something is scanning/searching/indexing the disk20:48

Danielpki trying to open port 80 to incoming requests, ufw status show 80 is enabled i tried to configure iptables but nothing work. Any tip?20:48
subcoolTJ-, i have; resume, clean,dpkg,fsck,grub,network,root,system-summar20:48
TJ-uberhonky: Did you try out xpra?20:48
wilee-nileep1l0t, No problem I always custom install I want to know where grub is going, and on occasion a usb will reverse the HD.20:48
babilenTJ-: I've performed an "apt-get dist-upgrade" and the I/O was caused during the unpacking step. Which is not really surprising, but shouldn't cause *that* much load.20:49
uberhonkyyea, thing is, Its not for me, its for a client, and they need to also do it via cygwin on a windows box20:49
uberhonkyso I'm hoping there is another way20:49
p1l0twilee-nilee: yeah no * under the boot for the main HD20:49
uberhonkybut from a linux install it works well20:49
TJ-subcool: If you choose "network" it'll start networking and then drop you at a root shell where you can investigate the logs, edit files, and generally fix things up20:49
subcoolTJ-, it error' like crazy, and brought me back to the menu20:49
TJ-uberhonky: I was remoting via SSH earlier to fix a server for someone, and they use nomachine (NX) from home to connect to the dual-monitor desktop of their office service20:50
Praxihmm openshot doesn't work the way I expect.  I have a video, trying to trim off the front and back, I click the trim button and drag the play bar around, but then the video gets out of sync with the preview really hard to tell what I'm doing.20:50
BECbekks: THANKS :D20:50
TJ-subcool: OK, that sounds like it's major broken. I'd recommend booting from the USB device again and fixing it whilst it is offline. That gives you some stability20:50
wilee-nileep1l0t, If you are refrencing a boot flag it is not needed.20:51
subcoolok, ill pop a usb in - but.. what do i do from there?20:51
BECbekks: had I lost them what could have I done?20:51

=== uw is now known as Guest67956

TJ-subcool: The way I do it is, create a mount point /target/   and mount the problem file-system root to it, then mount any additional file-systems (/home/ /var/ etc.) into it ( /target/home/ /target/var/ and so on) then explore the logs and cross check against the good running system to figure out what's wrong/missing20:52
ActionParsnipPraxi: tried some of the other video editting tools?20:53
TJ-subcool: "all I did" - that's a pretty big ALL !! In fact, it's an OMG what did you do!?20:53

PraxiI don't think so, installed some mac theme to fool my boss into thinking I was working on a mac20:54
p1l0twilee-nilee: brb.. I hope.20:54
ActionParsnipPraxi: theme is moot, if you aren't using KDE, you wil pull in a tonne of Qt deps20:54

subcoolTJ-, so where do i begin?20:57

zenmasterHi, I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a Hp wx9300.21:02
zenmasterIt gets to a part about logging into iSCSI.21:02
zenmasterTo do the parititons.21:02
zenmasterI just read somewhere that ubuntu has not had support for SCSI since 8.04.21:02
krababbel!punctuation21:02
ubottuPunctuation is good, but its overuse hurts readability. Please refrain from adding many ?'s or !'s to the end of your sentences. See also !enter21:02
zenmasterDoes this mean I should be installing centos on this rig.21:02
zenmasterkrababbel: There is nothing wrong with the way I am typing.21:03
zenmasterThis is me trying to support this distrobution of Linux.21:03
jribzenmaster: I think !enter is more appropriate (try to keep your questions on one line; don't use enter as punctuation)21:04
zenmasterjrib: That is awesome, ok no problem. Do you have a solutio nor suggestio to my problem?21:04
roychriLet's say I want to buy a new machine ( 8 cores, 16GB RAM ) and have this machine dedicated to run virtual machines with ubuntu on each instance.  Is there some kind of OS specialized to do just that?21:05
=== xubuntu is now known as Guest50697
zenmasterSo instead of bring a solution to my problem, crack at the way I type. Ok.....21:05
jribzenmaster: please, stay on-topic.  If someone knows the answer, they will help you.  Don't be offended by the factoids, they're there to try to make the channel more usable21:06
krababbelzenmaster: do you use scsi or iscsi21:06
zenmasterkrababbel: Yes, as it is the only drive in this system.21:06
wilee-nileeroychri, This is support not imaginary setups21:07
subcoolIf anyone else has an idea on how to fix this- im all ears..21:07

roychriwilee-nilee: Well, I do want that setup.  Sorry for misunderstanding21:07
jrib!helpme | subcool21:07
ubottusubcool: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude21:07

=== zz_scottas is now known as scottas

bekkszenmaster: On which drive exactly?21:08
bekkszenmaster: Which SCSI controller do you have exactly?21:09
roychriActionParsnip: Thanks, I will check that out21:09
zenmasterbekks: I have a hp wx9300 workstation.  It has one SCSI drive on it. It is a LSI controller.21:09
subcoolActionParsnip, would that work with a '/home' directory copy?21:09
bekkszenmaster: Which LSI controller?21:09
jribsubcool: it's better to just repeat your question after a reasonable amount of time if no one can help you.  You're more likely to get help that way.  Some people may have just joined and have no clue about what you are talking about21:09
zenmasterbekks: one second.21:09
subcoolGiven the fact, all i did was move the /home directory and /var - my assumtions are that something didnt copy corrrectly.21:09

jribIneluctable: alternate install will install a desktop by default I think.  Maybe you can use the minimal install if that still exists21:18
jrib!minimal | Ineluctable21:18
ubottuIneluctable: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD21:18
mouse_ActionParsnip, Yeah there seems to be a lot of printer drivers that have the same issue and everyone's solution is to just find a different version of the installer.  And no I haven't contacted them yet.  I assumed they would be pretty busy.  And since it's happening with a few games then it's probably something that's wrong with either nixstaller or my system.21:18
ActionParsnipintransit: yes the alternate installer gives a desktop OS21:19
zenmasterbekks: 1) Configure iSCSI volumes, 2)Blank(Literally nothin gthere) 3) undo changes to partitions 4) finish partitioning and write changes to disk.21:19

dr_willisI thought if you just had them both installed and no xorg.conf X SHOULD auto-detect and use the proper drivers.21:32
dr_willisbut been ages since ive moved stuff from an ati->nvidia system21:33
razieliyoyes, in fact me too, I've not used ati almost never21:33
s3r3n1t7dr_willis, that's correct, it should just work properly. However, it may require you to reenable the other drivers after you switch cards/system.21:33
ActionParsnipdr_willis: ahhh shouldloand :)21:33
dr_willisthe open sourced driver may work fine for your system on the ati card.21:33
dr_willisin which case if you got the nvidia driver installed.. move to an ati system.. the open sourced ati driver should kick in. and work.21:34
dr_willissince its installed by default. ;021:34
ActionParsnipdr_willis: http://pastie.org/475598921:34
razieliyois xserver-xorg-video-ati the name for the ati driver?21:35
aguiteli need to install old ubuntu version in old laptop ,can i run update and upgrade with repos?21:35
ActionParsniprazieliyo: its the package containing it21:35
ActionParsnipaguitel: if you have an old laptop, install Xubuntu or Lubuntu and it will use fewer resources21:36
zenmasterbekks: Not wanting to read the USBkey.... for modules.21:36
s3r3n1t7aguitel, updates are a oneway progress. There's no way to install an old version. Best thing would be to use ActionParsnip's suggestion, install Xubuntu or Lubuntu.21:36
razieliyoso, shouldn't I see that ati driver if I run jockey-gtk?21:36
dr_willisare you on the ati system?21:37
aguitelActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 but i want to install ati drivers21:37
dr_willisthe open sourced ati driver is installed by default. the fglrx driver is the ones from ati/amd.21:37
razieliyodr_willis: no21:37
aguitelActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 only in old version avaleable21:37
razieliyooh, okay, I understand21:37
ActionParsnipaguitel: do you mean the proprietary ones?21:37
aguitelActionParsnip, yes21:37
ActionParsnip!ati21:38
ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto21:38
razieliyoso if I'm on the ati system, standard open source drivers will be loaded automatically21:38
dr_willisUnless you are doing some gaming or other fancy 3d stuff on the ati system. the open soueced drivers should be fine. if they work21:38
dr_williswhich may be a BIG if. ;)21:38

Praxithis is getting frustrated, so difficult to just lop off 6 minutes of video on the front end, and 4 on the backend of a video22:58
ActionParsniperkan^: does the system have a make and model? Why are you running such an old release?22:58
Praxihave to go find a mac in the office I guess22:58
ActionParsnipPoindexter_: then ask in #debian22:58
Poindexter_Good point.22:58
battlehandsActionParsnip: I'd rather a copy of the file to not be left in ~/Downloads,  I would like a simple move or transfer to the locations that you correctly stated.22:58
ActionParsnipPraxi: could use mencoder :)22:58
Basicerkan try ubuntu 12.04 all wireless problems are solved in this release22:58
erkan^WLAN and LAN works fine with Windows 7, ActionParsnip22:58
Praxihaven't tried that one yet ActionParsnip22:59
erkan^because ubuntu precise is very slow for my computer. and lucid works very fine and fast for my pc, but it doesn't work with wlan and lan, ActionParsnip22:59

BasicErkan have you tried xubuntu, or lubuntu23:00
battlehandsActionParsnip: Another question.  I am currently running MATLAB in terminal which "ties up" my command line.  Should I just open another terminal and attempt to execute the command that you provided?23:00
dr_willis;) not much of an answer.23:00

dr_willisold skool type desktops Lubuntu and Xubuntu. ;)23:01
ActionParsniperkan^: again, does the system have a make and model?23:01
erkan^Ubuntu Server 10.04 is support till 2015, ActionParsnip23:01

battlehandsActionParsnip: didn't work.  I'm going to try a new terminal window.23:02
ActionParsniperkan^: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases23:02
Jordan_Uk4r1m: The fact that both grub and gparted aren't able to read your partition table is not a good sign, but I wouldn't give up on your data quite yet. (also, you do have backups, right?)23:02
erkan^ok23:02
ActionParsniperkan^: the desktop is EOL in April 201323:02
k4r1mJordan_U: pastebin.com/QCwq9Fmr23:02
erkan^i see that lucid is very better than precise, why doesn't they stay development with lucid, ActionParsnip ?23:03
k4r1mJordan_U: it's really personal data, its a work machine so there is a bunch of VPN and LDAP configs I really need23:03
SparksITBekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215824/23:03
battlehandsActionParsnip: actually, I forgot that my terminal doesn't let me use ~/ for the home folder.  Let me try your command in my original terminal with the full directory specified23:03
ActionParsnipbattlehands: weird terminal23:03
k4r1mJordan_U: When I upgraded there was two partitions, a 240gb on / and a ~750mb on /boot just for grub23:04
_DanN_750mb 4 grub ...23:04
battlehandsActionParsnip: I have all kinds of problems... I'm not a linux guru  ;)23:04
Jordan_Uk4r1m: OK, you have an invalid partition table (overlapping partitions). If that's the only problem, then you can fix it rather easily, but I'm really curious how you got in such a state in the first place (no GNU/Linux tools will allow you to create such overlapping partitions).23:04
k4r1m_DanN_: I blame the IT team23:04
dr_willisI dont find lucid that better at all...23:05
Jordan_Uk4r1m: Also, you should take out of this the lesson that backups are *essential*.23:05
k4r1mJordan_U: oh.. I'm booting a livecd23:05
erkan^haven't they a driver deb for lucid --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215810/, ActionParsnip ?23:05

Basicis cinnamon a desktop choice for ubuntu 12.0423:14
erkan^i must download precise, ActionParsnip23:15
Jordan_Uk4r1m: OK, it looks like your extended partition is just not big enough for the logical partition it contains. I expect that fixparts (from the gdisk package) will be able to fix that automatically.23:15
ActionParsnipBasic: with a PPA, yes. Cinammon isn't supported here though23:15
k4r1mJordan_U: Alright thanks Ill try that23:15
Jordan_Uk4r1m: Do you have any idea how this could have come about though?23:16
dr_willisbizhanMona:  ssh in from another box. then startx on the local machine and check out the logs/dmesg command perhaps. what desktop enviroment did you install? what does the screen display exactly?23:19
k4r1mJordan_U: IT just handed me the machine and it was running lucid, I clicked upgrade and copied all the diffs for the new conf files while replacing the old ones with the new ones that got pulled. Grub2 installed came up and I clicked on new settings as the old config was a grub1 config, and eventually selected /boot as the boot. reboot and got "error: no such parition" tried to list using insmod ls and lsmod but I still23:19

tkinghello guys, lock and dim screen is set to 5mins. But sometimes i want over 20mins and still counting and the screen wouldn't lock. Anyone know the reason?23:22
Jordan_Uk4r1m: You list devices at the grub rescue shell with simply "ls". Also, you should have the grub-pc package configured to install grub's boot sector to the MBR "/dev/sda", *not* to a partition like "/dev/sda1" (though the problem you're having now is not related to that).23:22
k4r1mJordan_U: should I abort what I'm doing and go back to the rescue shell? or install gdisk and run fixparts /dev/sda ?23:23
Jordan_Uk4r1m: If you're using an Ubuntu LiveUSB you'll need to enable the Universe repository before you'll be able to install the gdisk package. Then a simple "sudo fixparts /dev/sda" should (after prompting you) fix this automatically.23:23
