[00:03] <TJ-> hal: That's a weird one... no apparent dependencies, breaks, replaces to cause that
[00:03] <subcool> ?
[00:03] <tortib> TJ-: setting the rule in rc.local works fine enough
[00:03] <tortib> no way in hell i'm learning ufw just for one rule
[00:04] <subcool> i dont even know how to google it
[00:04] <hal> Jordan_U: TJ- ActionParsnip - should I be installing wine1.4-amd64 for an intel i7 box?
[00:04] <subcool> tortib, its pretty easy

[00:05] <phunyguy> has the ability to upgrade to a beta release via do-release-upgrade been taken away?
[00:05] <subcool> TJ-, ? would it be the label?
[00:06] <subcool> they are already formatted  - im about to restore the information.
[00:06] <jcorgan> and thanks wilee-nilee for the pointers
=== dr_jesus_ is now known as dr_jesus
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: no, you just need to edit a file
[00:07] <trism> phunyguy: you need to enable normal upgrades first, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (support in #ubuntu+1)

[00:07] <phunyguy> ahh ok
[00:08] <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-systems
[00:08] <phunyguy> never had to do the initial steps first that I can remember.
[00:08] <phunyguy> always just ran the do-release-upgrade command
[00:08] <phunyguy> thanks for the tip

=== entropy-2 is now known as entropy-
[00:08] <subcool> TJ- by installer do u mean gparted?
[00:09] <trism> phunyguy: lts default to only check for a new lts, that's why you see it on precise (but not say, oneiric -> precise)
[00:09] <phunyguy> also 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] <trism> phunyguy: indeed
[00:09] <phunyguy> AHHH makes sense.
[00:09] <subcool> TJ-, ok- how about this- how do i check/make sure the partitions are mounted the correct way? -
[00:09] <subcool> TJ- im about to mount them and copy over whats neccessary -
[00:10] <subcool> TJ-, but its useless if they arent allocated properly
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: read the upgrade docs, so much better than trying to guess
[00:10] <phunyguy> forgot about the LTS part
[00:10] <shadedpixel> ok, 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] <phunyguy> AP! Sup boyyy
[00:10] <phunyguy> =P
[00:10] <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?
[00:11] <subcool> nope
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal
[00:11] <subcool> i just created two partitions- one for /var and one for /home
[00:11] <phunyguy> I got it ActionParsnip, thanks
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: if you can't get the upgrade running, you probably shouldn't be using prerelease
[00:11] <subcool> but the only direction i have provided to those neccesseties where their labels
[00:11] <hal> TJ-: 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 archs
[00:12] <phunyguy> ActionParsnip, relax.
[00:12] <hal> TJ-: Jordan_U ActionParsnip I am now installing wine1.4-amd64
[00:12] <phunyguy> was just going on past experience
[00:12] <phunyguy> and I have been on 12.10 since last month
[00:12] <codebrah> i like UNity :)
[00:12] <phunyguy> upgrading another laptop, this laptop was a fresh install.
[00:12] <codebrah> i just install ubuntu 1st time
[00:12] <codebrah> :)
[00:13] <phunyguy> ActionParsnip, also, does it make you nervous for me that I am running the upgrade through a SSH session?
[00:13] <shadedpixel> codebrah, I hate Unity, but lets not start talking about that. You can just search "Unity" on the fourms if you want to talk about that
[00:13] <phunyguy> just sayin'...
[00:13] <codebrah> i dont want to talk about it
[00:14] <TJ-> subcool: So you're adding additional empty file-systems to an existing installation?
[00:14] <shadedpixel> codebrah, :D I know, it just turns into an arguement alot of the time
[00:14] <codebrah> sorry
[00:14] <subcool> TJ-, yes?

[00:15] <subcool> TJ-, 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 /home

[00:15] <atrius> :(
[00:15] <subcool> TJ-, im reading something about setting it up in fstab. - but it wasnt there to begin with- from what i know..
[00:16] <newzi> Tell me, Unity, Gnome3 or KDE?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: it should be ok
[00:16] <blackshirt> subcool, do you want replace your old /home with the new one?
[00:16] <subcool> blackshirt, yes
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> newzi: Unity is a shell for Gnome3
[00:17] <newzi> :O So I have Gnome3?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> newzi: so when you use Unity, you will use Gnome3
[00:17] <newzi> ActionParsnip: So I can still use themes?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> newzi: yes
[00:17] <phunyguy> Yes 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] <shadedpixel> newzi, Yes you have it. With Unity on top :)
[00:17] <newzi> ActionParsnip: :D Thank You
[00:17] <blackshirt> subcool, ensure you have copy all related stuf on your old to new one and then setup it on fstab
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: you are upgrading off an LTS
[00:17] <phunyguy> So your comment probably wasn't necesdary.
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> newzi: Unity isn't a desktop environment
[00:18] <phunyguy> necessary*
[00:18] <subcool> blackshirt, is it already in fstab?
[00:18] <newzi> Bye Guys :D
[00:18] <phunyguy> ActionParsnip, yes I KNOW that now.

[00:20] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: 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.
[00:21] <rtdos> thanks. will check 'em out.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: you could've done exactly the same....
[00:22] <rtdos> isn't that what this group is for? :)
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: its much better if you do a little work, then come here when you come up blank
[00:23]  * ActionParsnip uses feedreader. Its badass
[00:24] <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 identifier
[00:24] <FunkyELF> what package would provide cpu temperature in the sys tray?
[00:25] <subcool> TJ - ya, editing the fstab was what i was trying to avoid.
[00:25] <subcool> :/
[00:25] <phunyguy> Wow last time I told someone to google sometihng I got the wet noodle treatment.
[00:25] <subcool> TJ whats the command to check what they are now..
[00:26] <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] <subcool> TJ- do i have to reboot into recovery? can i just do it from here in the USB-flash?
[00:27] <TJ-> subcool: If you're not working in the root file-system live, then yes, you can do it from the live/USB environment
[00:27] <TJ-> subcool: I was assuming you were still using the root file-system that contained the /var/
[00:28] <subcool> i 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/restore
[00:28] <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] <subcool> so- thats why im agasint the fstab edit, because i dont hwan to ahve to do it again
[00:29] <subcool> well, my var is. its on its own partition
[00:29] <subcool> although fstab doesnt say anything
[00:30] <subcool> i dont really get whats going on in ur step two
[00:30] <zykotick9> subcool: 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 see
[00:31] <subcool> TJ-, thats the thing- /var has stuff in it-
[00:31] <subcool> i assumed the system put it there.
[00:32] <subcool> ok- 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?
[00:33] <shadedpixel> How do I go about setting up audio on a fresh minimal install?
[00:33] <zykotick9> shadedpixel: what's not working?
[00:34] <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 r
[00:34] <TJ-> oot file-system -  but only from a liveISO/USB boot
[00:34] <zykotick9> shadedpixel: try/install alsamixer, is everything turned up and not muted?
[00:35] <subcool> ok
[00:35] <shadedpixel> zykotick9: 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-installed
[00:35] <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-arounds
[00:36] <zykotick9> shadedpixel: 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] <zeezgh0st> hey guys i'm new to fairly new to linux. what is LVM and should i use it?
[00:36] <shadedpixel> zykotick9: I dont belvie VLC installs ALSA for you but ill check
[00:36] <zykotick9> zeezgh0st: 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 partitions
[00:37]  * zykotick9 thinks vlc is kinda lame.  mplayer ftw ;)
[00:37] <jagginess> mplayer uses work/libs from vlc
[00:37] <zykotick9> zeezgh0st: actually i think it's s/Mounting/Management/ sorry.  as i said, i don't use it ;)
[00:38] <zeezgh0st> TJ-, do most poeple use it? i have 1 drive that i paln on using it all
[00:38] <chadams42> how do I setup permissions for a webserver?
[00:38] <shadedpixel> zeezgh0st: Then no you dont need it
[00:38] <zeezgh0st> thanks,
[00:38] <atrius> so... no GTK based terminals with broadcast support aside from Terminator?
[00:38] <shadedpixel> chadams42: what exactly are you doing with the web server?
[00:38] <shadedpixel> chadams42: (putting on it)
[00:39] <chadams42> shadedpixel: I want to host multiple websites (all own by same person) and have FTP access
[00:39] <chadams42> shadedpixel: it's hosted on linode
[00:39] <subcool> TJ-, how do i find out he UUID's ? its not working
[00:39] <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 will
[00:40] <shadedpixel> chadams42: Do you already have LAMP installed?
[00:40] <zykotick9> subcool: "sudo blkid" will show uuids for partitions
[00:40] <TJ-> subcool: You'd need to use "sudo" if you're not in recovery, since it required root privileges
[00:40] <subcool> oh- sudo
[00:40] <shadedpixel> chadams42: (Apache, MySQL, etc.)
[00:40] <chadams42> shadedpixel: yes and I know how to make seperate websites in apache
[00:40] <TJ-> subcool: I assumed you'd be root in the recovery when I wrote those examples

[00:41] <phunyguy> that was fun, upgrade failed, but it looks to be recovering with an apt-get upgrade -f
[00:41] <shadedpixel> chadams42: i mean chmod
[00:42] <chadams42> isn't that unsafe?
[00:42] <corey_da1is> hello
[00:42] <shadedpixel> chadams42: or 667
[00:42] <phunyguy> morgan, open chromium, then right click the icon and tell it to keep a launcher when app not running
[00:42] <zykotick9> subcool: 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] <OerHeks> morgan, open chromium, click on the icon > right mouse and add it to Unity
[00:42] <subcool> zykotick9, thats what i was trying to do
[00:42] <subcool> i label'd them in gparted- but wanted to make sure they would be persistant
[00:42] <TJ-> zykotick9: LABELS can be duplicated a lot easier than UUIDs can though
[00:43] <zykotick9> subcool: do your labels show in the blkid output?
[00:43] <morgan> Sorry, I mean the tools > create application shortcut
[00:43] <morgan> like, I want to create an application shortcut to gmail and google music
[00:43] <shadedpixel> chadams42: 777 while working on it, then change it to 667 when done

[00:47] <subcool> how does ur command direct whats being labeled?
[00:48] <phunyguy> asarch, 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] <jagginess> asarch, you using headsets?
[00:48] <zykotick9> subcool: example "sudo e2label /dev/sda5 var
[00:48] <subcool> ah
[00:48] <zykotick9> subcool: "
[00:48] <phunyguy> asarch, 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.

[00:49] <zykotick9> subcool: then a line from my fstab looks like "LABEL=Movies/Moviesext4errors=remount-ro 0 1"
[00:49] <jagginess> asarch, well if you plugged it into a speaker set, be sure it's not the amp that's at fault.
[00:49] <phunyguy> asarch, right click the volume icon and select sound settings

[00:56] <jagginess> chadams42, i use webdav client from osx/linux/windows (however on winbloze, netdrive shouldbe used, and it's free)
[00:56] <chadams42> will it allow users to FTP to the server?
[00:56] <chadams42> thesde users only have access to FTP
[00:56] <jagginess> chadams42, webdav is http, but it's http+write.. it can be mounted like a filesystem from those three Oses i mentioned
[00:57] <asarch> jagginess: It is an HP Pavilio dv5-2034la Entertainment PC
[00:57] <corey_davis> How do I close a channel I am the admin of?
[00:57] <asarch> ActionParsnip: Let me reboot
[00:57] <asarch> BRB!
[00:58] <chadams42> was just going to use vsftpd
[00:58] <jagginess> chadams42, pretty much keep your same www-data:www-data directory, add the webdav to apache, then make an htdigestpassword file -- You'll need to use something like 'Dav on' with the apache config
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> corey_davis: just close the window for the chat and it will die as there are no users in it
[01:00] <corey_davis> ActionParsnip: how do I close the channel while others are in it?
[01:00] <subcool> zykotick9, loosk like i have to test that mount command. those drives are now only accessable via root :/
[01:00] <chadams42> jagginess: ok wait, that was greek, lol
[01:00] <Flynn> how, hey do i get rid of the login manager on Xubuntu? I just want tty on startup, anyone know?
[01:00] <jrib> !text | Flynn
[01:00] <ubottu> Flynn: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode
[01:00] <asarch> I have sound volume
[01:01] <asarch> However, it is still low
[01:01] <Flynn> jrib: if i do touch ~/.xsession
[01:01] <Flynn> and exec awesome
[01:01] <Flynn> would that boot awesome instead of the login manager?
[01:02] <Flynn> btw im also implying i have awesome installed,etc
[01:02] <jrib> Flynn: 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 awesome
[01:03] <subcool> zykotick9, 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 issues
[01:03] <jrib> Flynn: if you want to skip the logging in part, then you can enable auto-login in lightdm
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> corey_davis: not sure, try asking in #freenode
[01:06] <jagginess> chadams42, http://pastebin.ca/2205438
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> asarch: remove the lines if they are no help
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> asarch: are there any bugs reported?
[01:06] <jagginess> chadams42, i'm assuming you already have a basic http access to a folder.. you might simply just have to add Dav On and the other similar lines.. but you'll manually need to make an htdigest file..
[01:07] <chadams42> jagginess: so dav is already installed?
[01:07] <jagginess> chadams42, nope
[01:07] <jagginess> chadams42, 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 file
[01:08] <chadams42> ok, I'm searchng google looking for a guide
[01:08] <jagginess> chadams42, there's alot of bad guides.. but basically, the apache config isnt complex.. you can pm me.. it takes 2 seconds actually
[01:08] <chadams42> I already have ftp working
[01:09] <jagginess> chadams42, ftp doesnt work well through firewalls..
[01:09] <chadams42> and this fixes my prmission problems?
[01:09] <asarch> ActionParsnip: I don't know
[01:09] <jagginess> chadams42, you dont need to change permissions.. because it's always apache www-data doing the writing
[01:09] <asarch> Where is aMsn?
[01:10] <chadams42> jagginess: "... because it's always apache www-data doing the writing" as long as I use webDAV?
[01:10] <jagginess> chadams42, the htdigest authentication file allows you to setup users who can connect to that webdav folder
[01:10] <jagginess> chadams42, webdav=="http+write"
[01:10] <jagginess> chadams42, it's a mountable filesystem
[01:13] <mike3000> Does anyone have any experience with missing paritions by using a drive without a usb adapter (ie making an external drive internal)?
[01:14] <zykotick9> mike3000: "sudo fdisk -l" and/or "sudo blkid" are the partitions just not mounted?
[01:14] <mike3000> not listing under /dev/
[01:15] <mike3000> with a usb adapter, it shows sda1 and sda5 where i would mount sda5 and be OK
[01:15] <mike3000> without the adapter i only get sda1
[01:15] <mike3000> its a truecrypted hard drive, but the guys on the truecrypt channel told me to come here because it sounds like a linux issue
[01:17] <stevecam> mike3000, sounds like the issue lies with the encryption
[01:18] <mike3000> but it works 100% with the adapter
[01:18] <mike3000> ive been using it the past 3 months as an external moving it into an internal box now
[01:18] <cynical> that's confusing
[01:19] <cynical> since there should be no difference with the drive
[01:19] <mike3000> right
[01:19] <stevecam> was the encryption done in the external reader
[01:19] <mike3000> yes
[01:21] <cynical> I would back it up and then repartition it while it is plugged in internally
[01:22] <stevecam> mike3000, have you got the right software to read it on your pc
[01:22] <mike3000> ahh i was hoping it wouldnt have to come to that =(
[01:22] <cynical> I don't think udev would have a problem reading your drive if it wasn't encrypted
[01:22] <zonefull> hi guys could some1 help me out with backbox?
[01:22] <mike3000> stevecam: yes: ubuntu and truecrypt
[01:23] <mike3000> I see
[01:24] <zonefull> ??
[01:24] <upgrayeddd> Hi, 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_Claw> is there an official truecrypt ppa for ubuntu?  couldn't find it in the software center
[01:25] <stevecam> Captain_Claw, no
[01:25] <mike3000> Not for ubuntu specifically
[01:25] <stevecam> well, truecrpyt have a deb file but no "ubunutu" official release
[01:25] <Hatori> zonefull, spesific with backbox? Maybe you can be more detail
[01:26] <Captain_Claw> hmm ok
[01:26] <zonefull> well its about the sound :( just got it installed
[01:26] <zonefull> has no sound at all
[01:26] <mike3000> Thanks guys I'm out
[01:26] <stevecam> mike3000, 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 works
[01:27] <Hatori> zonefull, that spesific to some chipset card..what do you have?
[01:27] <zykotick9> zonefull: backbox is an ubuntu derivative, it isn't supported here.  see if they have an irc channel perhaps.
[01:27] <stevecam> mike3000, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrueCrypt there is a page on truecrypt
[01:28] <mike3000> stevecam: thanks ill give that a look
[01:28] <mike3000> but even in fdisk it doesnt show all the listings
[01:28] <zonefull> well im not familiar with this sorry :*
[01:28] <zonefull> i got a dell n5110
[01:28] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: You can try Keyboard and go to custom shortcuts.
[01:31] <stevecam> mike3000, i would imagine that it isnt supposed to
[01:32] <stevecam> mike3000, 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 tables
[01:33] <stevecam> mike3000, http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=plausible-deniability
[01:34] <upgrayeddd> JasonO: 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...)
[01:35] <stevecam> upgrayeddd, is it difficult for you to access a web browser?
[01:36] <upgrayeddd> stevecam: no
[01:36] <upgrayeddd> because I know Chrome is google-chrome and firefox is firefox etc
[01:36] <upgrayeddd> I'm in one right now incidentally stevecam
[01:37] <stevecam> upgrayeddd, ok, just making sure
[01:38] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: Yeah, just try: gnome-control-center
[01:39] <upgrayeddd> thank you JasonO
[01:40] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: No problem.
[01:41] <upgrayeddd> there 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 shortcuts
[01:42] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: Exactly, because you can't. Are you trying to remove Unity?
[01:42] <upgrayeddd> Sure, 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.
[01:43] <stevecam> upgrayeddd, im using gnome without unity quite fine
[01:43] <upgrayeddd> I like the shell for things like managing sleep states and wifi and brightness. Otherwise, I don't really care for the Unity Panel or Dash
[01:43] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: Yes, if you want to replace it with the gnome desktop instead. Go for it.
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> upgrayeddd: could make a quickmenu for the sleep state :)
[01:46] <unless__> Hello guys!
[01:46] <codebrah> yo unless
[01:46] <upgrayeddd> JasonO: would you happen to know what the shortcut is for the Startup Applications that I can call from a shell?
[01:46] <unless__> I am trying to log to a ssh service on a server as root and I've heard it is not possible.
[01:47] <unless__> Could someone point me a reason I could search for more information related please?
[01:47] <upgrayeddd> ActionParsnip: Sorry, I'm not familiar with 'quickmenu', is this something you can do with xmonad or otherwise?
[01:47] <JasonO> upgrayeddd: No I don't.
[01:48] <JasonO> unless__ ssh url
[01:49] <unless__> JasonO, what is that ?
[01:49] <JasonO> unless__ Sorry, just: ssh [insert url without brackets]
[01:49] <unless__> JasonO, I know that, but what do you mean ?
[01:50] <JasonO> unless__ To log in, you would have to have those privileges on your account.
[01:51] <unless__> JasonO, I know but I am unable to connect from outside my local network as root.
[01:51] <JasonO> unless__ Did you try su or sudo?
[01:51] <unless__> JasonO, as sudo ssh ?
[01:52] <JasonO> unless__ Yes, or just plain sudo.
[01:52] <unless__> JasonO, not haven't tried it. are you sure about that ?
[01:53] <JasonO> unless__ No, but it doesn't hurt to try.
[01:54] <unless__> JasonO, the point is it doesn't make sense what you are saying.
[01:54] <JasonO> unless__ Are you trying to login to ssh?
[01:55] <unless__> JasonO, yes
[01:55] <JasonO> unless__ Oh. THen you: ssh [url] and then it will ask for your username and password
[01:56] <unless__> JasonO, exactly but as I am trying to log as root it doesn't allows.
[01:56] <JasonO> unless__ You have to set it up, hold on.......

[02:59] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: i'm on 10.04 lts :\ will it still work?
=== dynamo is now known as Guest3261
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: yes but the old libs and such make it harder to work with, should be a similar method
[03:00] <dandaman1> fyi it works just fine when i adb push to the internal sd card
[03:00] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: Hey, the hard drive permissions are for "root"
[03:01] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: how do i change it so that i can have privilleges?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: you'd set it at mount time
[03:02] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: how?
[03:02] <andrewh192> ActionParsnip: should i restart the computer?
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: or you can run:   gksudo nautilus $HOME    and you should get write access
[03:02] <nrdb> anyone else used networkmanager to setup a custom route?
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> andrewh192: try the guide though, may help
[03:03] <Strugle> can some one tell me How to make Win to Flash.. from ubuntu??
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> Strugle: do you mean a program's window to flash?
[03:03] <Strugle> ye To make usb Driver
[03:04] <Strugle> so it's able like a cd
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Strugle: oh do you mean put an Ubuntu ISO on a USB stick?
[03:04] <kmyst> anybody have any tips on how to make grub2 obey and install on a raid system?
[03:04] <Strugle> some thing like that.. but going to take Windows xp on it!
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Strugle: why didn't you just say that? In plain english rather than trying to sound technical?
[03:05] <Strugle> my bad
[03:05] <subcool> f00dMonsta, why am i getting so many permission denied responses from that command? y do i have to do this as root?
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> Strugle:

[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Strugle: works in Ubuntu and in Windows
[03:06] <Deutopia> lol
[03:06] <Deutopia> damn and i wasted all that time downloading the win7 sdk
[03:07] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: didn't help for the external sd card :\
[03:07] <Strugle> just want to have win Xp i'm not so glad in this Ubuntu
[03:07] <kiazami> hello here / this is 3:am Budapest, and I am really stucked somewhere - is there anyone to help me to set a bit the BootRepair?
[03:08] <kindofabuzz> Ubuntu can do the same thing XP does, and even more
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: try the gksudo nautilus $HOME    see if you get write access. Sounds like you haven't been unplugging the device correctly
[03:08] <nrdb> kmyst, I have done it, but it was no trouble
[03:08] <kmyst> nrdb: i've been trying for 3 days...no joy
[03:08] <nrdb> kmyst, have you a raid0 for /boot?
[03:09] <linuxuz3r> hey im here
[03:09] <Strugle> well it is realy hard to take in.. so juse to Win XP/7
[03:09] <Strugle> i'm juse to*
[03:09] <kmyst> nrdb: uh no...used the alternate cd and partitioned everything as lvm on raid5....i see grub2 has raid5 support but it definitely won't play nice installing
[03:11] <kiazami> I do not understand some little issues in boot-repair settings..I wish here could be some of you to offer advice
[03:11] <kindofabuzz> Strugle: why not take the time to learn Linux? It's not harder than windows, just different.  I recommend something other than Ubuntu though. Unity does kinda seem weird to a windows user.
[03:11] <Strugle> it's to complicated fore me hehe
[03:11] <nrdb> kmyst, I did this a long time back... at that time grub2 wasn't used ... had to setup a very small raid0 for /boot ... it is still in that setup
[03:11] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: not sure what that's supposed to do
[03:11] <dandaman1> but nothing happened :\
[03:12] <Strugle> yes
[03:12] <Deutopia> from the sound of it, you should EVER have XP plugged into the internet.
[03:12] <kmyst> nrdb: yeah, that i've done but i'm trying for /boot in / on raid5 which evidently is possible from the information i keep reading and everybody says grub-install /dev/md0 should do it...
[03:13] <Deutopia> NEVER*
[03:13] <nrdb> kmyst, my raid0 is 735MB and is 12% used.
[03:13] <kiazami> what is the right place to put the grub location, if I have got Vista already installed<
[03:13] <Deutopia> the primary hard disk (boot disk) typically sda
[03:13] <Strugle> well i get a hang on it soon..
[03:14] <kiazami> and what is restore  MBR? I have had a working grub, but I have formatted the linux partition and the swap
[03:14] <kmyst> kindofabuzz: Unity is kinda weird period even coming from gnome or kde
[03:14] <kiazami> now I have a live ubuntu running thanx for community forums
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: when you unplug the phine, do you use the safetly remove option?
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: or do you just rip it out?
[03:15] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: i just rip it out, there is no safety remove option on the phone itself
[03:15] <nrdb> kmyst, what happens when you try to boot?
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> adan0s: its in the OS, ripping it out is not how you use the system
[03:15] <Strugle> How is the (Linuks os live )
[03:15] <kmyst> nrdb: nothing, no bootloader :)
[03:16] <Deutopia> a computer plugged iinto the internet is EXTREMELY dangerous for your personally and financially if you dont know what you are doing (linux is much safer than windows but you still have to be very careful. linux cant protect you from every threat to your person and wallet.
[03:16] <kmyst> nrdb: i refuses to install...I can boot from a CD and mount everything, etc, even chroot and try to install but its useless
[03:17] <CavalierPrime> kiazmi download and use the boot repair live cd to easily fix your stuff
[03:17] <kiazami> CavalierPrime I am in boot repair, but some settings confusing me
[03:17] <kiazami> and I have only usb working now
[03:18] <CavalierPrime> you should go with the automatic options
[03:18] <Deutopia> i gave up installing. im just running live with persistence
[03:19] <kiazami> shall I restore MBR?Reinstall Grub?repair file systems?
[03:19] <Deutopia> but thats cuz i have hardware issues
[03:19] <CavalierPrime> yes
[03:19] <nrdb> kmyst, I can't help... no experience with that setup.
[03:19] <CavalierPrime> reinstall grub
[03:19] <kiazami> ok. than I shall leave restore mbr
[03:19] <kiazami> two can not be selected
[03:19] <kmyst> nrdb: i just get errors along the lines of grub-probe error no such disk and autodetection of a filesystem on /dev/mapper/media-root which is the lvm
[03:19] <Deutopia> reinstall grub
[03:19] <kmyst> nrdb: no worries
[03:20] <kiazami> Deutopia CavalierPrime / tnx, I try it and I hope I will come back
[03:20] <CavalierPrime> np
[03:20] <leaftwig> Thank you~ also, an issue!  I have a CD and I put it in the box but the box doesn't mount it auto
[03:21] <kiazami> and if there is option to select which os to boot by default: what does grub do than?
[03:22] <nrdb> kiazami, usally grub will auto. boot last selected option.
[03:22] <greeniekin> I 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 anything
[03:22] <kiazami> ok tnx all I try to do it
[03:22] <kiazami> cusson
[03:23] <nrdb> kiazami, it can also be controlled in the config files.
[03:23] <greeniekin> I am assuming it is a boot option. how can i change boot options of grub without using ubuntu
[03:24] <nrdb> adding routes other than default with networkmanager seems to be broken ... anyone got this to work?
[03:25] <leaftwig> Thank you~ also, an issue!  I'd like to mount and exploit my CD please.
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> greeniekin: add the bot option: nomodeset

[03:34] <ubottu> You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[03:34] <leaftwig> nrdb why, I mean the legal and proper use of the software
[03:34] <rmccue> dmesg has a whole bunch of errors with "EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 80", which I'm guessing is something to do with using a VGA -> DVI adapter

[03:37] <ytalo> yes
[03:38] <kiazami> FlexNet detected - is this a problem<
[03:38] <ketterer> What i would like to actually do is write a script to have it use the utilitys settings and perform a back up if possible. and also, is there a way to have a qui come up to ask yes or no?
[03:38] <kiazami> ?
[03:38] <nrdb> leaftwig, google is your friend .... "mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk"

[03:54] <ActionParsnip> SoulShadow: with a fresh install, yes. Install a clean install of Windows. How many updates do you have to do?
[03:55] <rsvp> really WEIRD -- mouse shifted focus to pointed window under Lucid -- then upgraded to Precise, that feature still persisted -- one day after a reboot it's gone -- and surprisingly there's system setting for all this. Your comments ???

[04:53] <shockingbehavur> rmccue maybe you may need to load the driver each boot-up
[04:53] <rmccue> shockingbehavur: How would I do that?
[04:53] <shockingbehavur> just a thought
[04:54] <rmccue> The recommended way to install the NVIDIA drivers is via jockey, but it doesn't show up there
[04:54] <Pecker> rmccue: have you tried installing the driver from nvidia's site?
[04:54] <rmccue> Pecker: I've tried doing that, but I can't manage to stop X to be able to install it
[04:55] <Pecker> ah
[04:55] <Pecker> for me i have to boot into recovery mode
[04:55] <rmccue> If I do `stop lightdm`, I get dropped back to an output-only screen which shows dmesg
[04:55] <Pecker> yeah thats not gonna shut off X iirc
[04:55] <rmccue> I've tried that too, but I get read-only filesystem. Remounted as rw, but had tonnes of errors when installing
=== DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^
[04:56] <rmccue> Ah, how would I stop X then?
[04:56] <Pecker> boot into recovery mode, drop to root prompt, type telinit 3
[04:56] <rmccue> (Side-note: Ctrl-Alt-F* doesn't do anything, so I can't use those either)
[04:56] <rmccue> Pecker: Right, I'll try that.
[04:56] <Pecker> then login with your user creds, and cd to the directory where the driver is

[05:09] <woot-0854> glades20_: are they ftp or http
[05:09] <Pecker> dang 12.04 always messes up in recovery mode anymore
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/02_os-prober; sudo update-grub
[05:09] <Pecker> see if you can cd to the dir the driver is in
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: 2 commands, no extra apps needed, easy
[05:09] <woot-0854> woot-0854: do you need to update to new kernel servers?
[05:09] <Pecker> and suo sh DRIVER

[05:11] <iNTEl> actionparsnip
[05:11] <iNTEl> TY
[05:11] <rmccue> Pecker: Do I actually need to telinit 3? Can't I just execute it from the root shell? (After remounting the FS)
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: you need to contribute in order to get membership. You don't just get it because you ask
[05:11] <reza> you guys need to view this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge03Sys8SdA&feature=player_embedded

[05:12] <Pecker> and the driver hats the root prompt, but tis worth a try
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: start with a wiki
[05:12] <lonejack> Pecker, ok
[05:12] <rmccue> Pecker: It's mounted as readonly by default in recovery
[05:12] <woot-0854> reza: not all of us can just flip on an xsession :)
[05:12] <Jordan_U> reza: This is the Ubuntu support channel. Please don't spam offtopic links here.
[05:12] <Pecker> hmm weird
[05:12] <Pecker> then 12.04 is weird in recovery mode
[05:12] <reza> sorry buddy, it's important for all of you in the u.s.a
[05:12] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : i red it
[05:12] <Pecker> isnt liek ye ol 10.04
[05:13] <woot-0854> reza: take it too the streetz
[05:13] <Jordan_U> reza: It is not appropriate for this channel. Please do not do it again.
[05:13] <reza> oh i will i just dont know which wway yet
[05:13] <rmccue> Yeah, I've noticed that it's not much like 10.04
[05:13]  * reza slaps Jordan_U with a large trout
[05:13] <iNTEl> actionparsnip : i didn't find the register
[05:13] <shockingbehavur> i'd like to get more into this unix world.....what do i do? where can i go?.....Do i need to advance in computer science? Unsure!.....i do know that ubuntu is made under linux and i know linux is made under unix....thats about it

[05:15] <iNTEl> actionparsnip : ?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: you need a wiki and testemonials as a start
[05:15] <iNTEl> aha
[05:15] <iNTEl> k
[05:15] <glades20_> I don't understand. I don't want to have to get authentication keys for each individual piece of software I want to install. I want my ubuntu to be setup so I can install whatever, whenever I wannt without hassle
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: you also need to sign the code of conduct on launchpad
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: its all on the page i gave you
[05:15] <shockingbehavur> !linux
[05:15] <ubottu> Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[05:15] <Pecker> glades20_:  for ubuntu and launchpad sources this shoudl be automatic
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> shockingbehavur:you can install ubuntu for stabilty, security and much fun!
[05:16] <glades20_> you would think so
[05:16] <liuquan> how to uninstall the qq
[05:16] <shockingbehavur> already installed lotus
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: if you add PPA correctly the keys will be imported.
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> !bash | shockingbehavur
[05:16] <ubottu> shockingbehavur: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

[05:17] <glades20_> ok explain ppa please
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> shockingbehavur: if you run:  /msg ubottu hi
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> shockingbehavur: you can talk to her there and not spam the channel
[05:18] <iNTEl> ubuntu IRC
[05:18] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: ++ thanks for the grub help
[05:18] <shockingbehavur> ok then
[05:18] <woot-0854> glades20_: sorry
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: 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 imported
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: yeah people recommending GUI grub apps basically don't have a good unsderstanding of grub
[05:19] <glades20_> ok, trying that
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: the number dictates the point it appears in grub, renaming it lower than 10 means it will go above all Linux kernels :)
[05:19] <iNTEl> actionparsnip : is registering is so hard like that
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: there are a lot of steps but its what is required
[05:20] <iNTEl> k
[05:20] <rmccue> Pecker: You're right about it not liking root shell, it complains about not having runlevel
[05:20] <iNTEl> i think i give up the idea
[05:20] <woot-0854> <- failed at grub||watched hak5 <- wins at grub
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: signing the code of conduct was a real pain for me
[05:20] <iNTEl> hhhhhhhhhhh
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: wow, nice staying power
[05:20] <iNTEl> even u
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: do you always give up so easy?
[05:20] <Pecker> ActionParsnip: 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.lst
[05:20] <iNTEl> ya sometimes
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: jeez
[05:21] <rmccue> Pecker: Then I get "the distribution-provided pre-install script failed". I'm guessing I should quit before I screw anything up.
=== ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0
[05:21] <iNTEl> when i see my lvl isn't identical
[05:21] <iNTEl> so i try to get some bonus XD
[05:21] <Pecker> rmccue: yeah it wants runlevel 3, and the pre-install script erro has shown up ever since 10.04, driver installs just fine
[05:21] <woot-0854> Pecker: I also get a dev/sr0 error on boot with those os's
[05:21] <rmccue> Pecker: Aha. Can I go to runlevel 3 without using telinit?
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: 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 want
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: 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] <rmccue> Ah, I see why the pre-install script is failing, Ubuntu has `exit 1` in it to stop it from overwriting the default ones
[05:22] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: 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 place
[05:22] <Pecker> does the 10.04 version of grub do the ISO files? just can t get into unity here lol
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: I have a script to import keys if yu miss them. Dead handy
[05:22] <Pecker> rmccue: not that i know of
[05:22] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : after i installed Xfce my ubuntu login screen replaced by Xubuntu
[05:23] <woot-0854> Nautilus: boot: /kernel /initrd  some uuid or premissions and *bam*
[05:23] <Pecker> are you able to get to the driver install wher you got the script error message ok?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: you'll learn things with time
[05:23] <Pecker> woot-0854: what are you talking about
[05:23] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : should i remove Xfce
[05:23] <mpma> does anyone know that the battery-indicator is called in ubuntu 12.04? I want to run it as a standalone program
[05:23] <woot-0854> Pecker: grub
[05:23] <glades20_> the point is to disable that function altogether so I don't have to find every single key or address
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip: you know how i can open pdf with mupdf as default, cant find it in defaults
[05:23] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: I've done it before, last time around was grub1.  Even if I could retain memory that long it's outdated ;)
[05:23] <rmccue> Pecker: Yep, installing it now
[05:24] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : all what i miss with ubuntu is my .exe files
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: 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 xfce
[05:24] <glades20_> @Actionparsnip : that may be helpful
[05:24] <iNTEl> i was think Xfce is good
[05:25] <iNTEl> but the ubuntu interface have no replacement
[05:25] <rmccue> While 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] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: 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 with
[05:25] <mpma> anyone?
[05:25] <mpma> ubuntu battery monitor, what is is called?
[05:25] <woot-0854> iNTEl: kubuntu?  is fun
[05:25] <Pecker> mpma: check installed apps? I dotn use 12.04 so couldnt tell ya what it is
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> rmccue: there is BURG but its not supported here, considering its on the screen for a few seconds I'm suprised you even care
[05:25] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : ty , but i like ubuntu more
[05:26] <iNTEl> ubuntu is the source , and the source is always pure
[05:26] <woot-0854> iNTEl: Not really
[05:26] <rmccue> mpma: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/battery-applet-status-ubuntu ?
[05:26] <woot-0854> iNTEl: unity was totally lame in the beginning
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip:yes i noticed the nautilus plugin open with mupdf, but wanted to open as default pdf reader
[05:26] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : i respect ur opinion and would like to keep mine
[05:26] <iNTEl> in the beginning
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> rmccue: what is the output of:  lsb_releae -sc
[05:27] <rmccue> ActionParsnip: 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] <rmccue> ActionParsnip: `precise` (assuming you misspelled lsb_release)
[05:28] <woot-0854> iNTEl: sry didn't mean to bash ur opinion
[05:28] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : remember that kubuntu is just ubuntu with KDE interface
[05:28] <woot-0854> iNTEl: ya
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: wget -O /usr/bin/getkey http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/getkey; sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/getkey

[05:29] <ActionParsnip> rmccue: glad you noticed. Thanks :)
[05:29] <iNTEl> :D
[05:29] <iNTEl> :))

[05:29] <woot-0854> iNTEl: ubuntu server edition dosent come with an x set up
[05:29] <woot-0854> iNTEl: they give you the choice to have one or not :)
[05:29] <rmccue> Pecker: So, my screen is still flashing every few seconds, Details shows blank for the driver and if I launch the NVIDIA X Server Settings program, I get "you do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver", despite it being listed in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf :/
[05:29] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : i can't understand u ( still newbie )
[05:29] <rmccue> ActionParsnip: Cheers.
[05:30] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : so how many days u take to register ?
[05:30] <woot-0854> iNTEl: ubuntu has a desktop version and a server version.  the server version is only command line
[05:30] <Pecker> rmccue: did noveau get disabled?
[05:30] <rmccue> Pecker: Still appearing in dmesg, so I guess not.
[05:30] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : am using desktop and its perfect 4 me
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: you can then run stuff like: sudo getkey A7E13D78E4A4F4F4
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: and the key will import
[05:31] <woot-0854> iNTEl: but you can add gnome or kde or xfce ect
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: you can see the code you need to use with:  sudo apt-get udpate
[05:31] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : on the server V or the destop ?
[05:31] <Pecker> i remember the installer sued to add a disabled to noveau, then reboot and then youd have to run the installer again to finish
[05:31] <woot-0854> iNTEl: both.  they are called forks

[05:35] <rmccue> iNTEl: This is a group chat room, we can all see what you type, so please avoid spamming.
[05:35] <Pecker> i forget hwo to disable noveau manually, somehow the installer did it be placing a disable conf file somewhere. you might wanna look up how to disable it, then reboot and run installer again
[05:35] <iNTEl>  u can't tell secrets
[05:35] <woot-0854> iNTEl: nope
=== noob is now known as Guest77376
[05:35] <iNTEl> woo-0854 : tell me how u got ur membership
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> G0di: sure
[05:35] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : ?
[05:36] <woot-0854> iNTEl: ummmm
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[05:36] <woot-0854> iNTEl: what about ubuntu?
[05:36] <G0di> ActionParsnip all be good here?
[05:36] <G0di> my cam, audio drivers, etc?
[05:36] <rmccue> Pecker: Looks like I can blacklist it in modprobe
[05:37] <iNTEl> woot-0854 : ur memebership how u got it ?
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> GoGi: not sure but it will certainly install. You can't seriously expect us to know how Ubuntu will run on every laptop....think about it
[05:37] <Pecker> woot-0854: iNTEl is conviced some people are members around here cause of different colros in hic irc client
[05:37] <iNTEl> pecker : u r right
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> GoGi: the forum will tell you more
[05:37] <woot-0854> iNTEl: ya Im un-regestered.  you could steal my nick name if you wanted to
[05:37] <iNTEl> so should i use another irc pro ?
[05:37] <iNTEl> aha
[05:37] <iNTEl> its really looks fun
[05:37] <IdleOne> iNTEl: this channel is for Ubuntu support question, if you are interested in chatting please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:37] <iNTEl> but i don't like 2
[05:38] <Pecker> what iNTEl doesnt get is irc clients colros differ, the colors he gets realyl dotn mean anything
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: what client are you using?
[05:38] <iNTEl> idleone : TY for u advice
[05:38] <Pecker> rmccue: yes modprobe blacklist
[05:38] <iNTEl> idleone : but i think there is a channel for help 2 #ubuntu-help
[05:38] <Pecker> also see the highlight ActionParsnip gave me
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: only you see your highlights
[05:38] <Pecker> duh
[05:38] <IdleOne> iNTEl: it isn't advice, if you don't stop with the off topic conversation i will be forced to mute you.
[05:39] <Pecker> but in a #channel others can see what you said
[05:39] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : am using pidgin
[05:39] <Pecker> so look up for a Pecker: thing from you
[05:39] <iNTEl> its looks user friendly
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: i use taht too
[05:39] <glades20_> ActionParsnip the code didn't work for me. And the key thing is an issue for me. I don't want to have to get a key for each individual source. I want to be able to install anything I need on the fly
[05:39] <Pecker> ah. pidign colors nick automatically, and its colors mean nothing
[05:39] <iNTEl> idleone : TY for ............
[05:40] <iNTEl> IdleOne : should i don't type again ?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: pidgin just gives random colours to nicks, there is no reference to anything with the colours, its just a coloyur to make the name stand out more
[05:40] <iNTEl> actionparsnip : so what should i use ?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: you won't if you add it correctly, that's my main point
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: if you like pidgin, use pidgin
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: there is no 'should us', this is Linux, you have choice
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> *use
[05:41] <rmccue> iNTEl: Feel free to ask/answer Ubuntu-related questions, but most of what you type is off-topic, so try #ubuntu-offtopic instead
[05:41] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : who's idleone ?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: if you use the add-apt-repository command with the ppa address (shown in bold on the ppa web page) you won't have an issue
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: another user
[05:42] <IdleOne> iNTEl: I am an op in many Ubuntu channels. I am asking you to follow our channel rules. Please do so.
[05:42] <IdleOne> !guidelines > iNTEl
[05:42] <ubottu> iNTEl, please see my private message

[05:42] <woot-0854> Fellow 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] <iNTEl> IdleOne : k TY agai
[05:43] <Pecker> woot-0854: parted
[05:43] <iNTEl> ban means i can't log this channel again ?
[05:43] <glades20_> ok whats the ppa site?
[05:43] <Pecker> i believe that is text-based (use gparted all teh time here)
[05:43] <iNTEl> i mean my blocking my ip
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> woot-0854: if you are familiar with fdisk, why change. What else do you want the app to do. Its a partitioner...
[05:43] <Pecker> iNTEl: yep ban means bye-bye
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: from the channel, you'll be able to join others
[05:43] <woot-0854> ActionParsnip: sometimes it delivers false positives
[05:44] <iNTEl> Pecker : bye-bye > means u can visit us again
[05:44] <rmccue> Pecker: Sweet, now using the NVIDIA drivers. Man, that was a huge pain in the ass; you'd think that's something that would have been tested before
[05:44] <Pecker> yeah
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> woot-0854: try parted, sdisk (might be sfdisk)
[05:44] <iNTEl> Pecker : is there is some dictionary don't use the internet
[05:44] <iNTEl> Pecker : cuz everything using internet
[05:44] <Pecker> its slightly easier to do in 10.04 iirc, as ive alwasy had problems with 12.04 and telinit 3 in recovery mode
[05:44] <glades20_> eh I shouldn't have to hack my os to get it to do the basic stuff
[05:44] <Pecker> glad it works for ya

[05:45] <iNTEl> hfic : what's up dude ?
[05:45] <rmccue> Pecker:  That sounds hopeful.
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> glades20_: what are you hacking exactly?
[05:45] <hfic> holy crap, .. I totally said that like 10minutes ago
[05:46] <Pecker> rmccue: lol yeah..another reason why I still stick with 10.04
[05:46] <iNTEl> hfic : HAHA
[05:46] <Pecker> although i think it might be messing up due to the LTSP install
[05:46] <Pecker> anyways reboto a couple times, makes sure it works
[05:46] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : i already have this dic
[05:46] <lyre>  /join #RSDOOC
[05:46] <Pecker> and i gtg, glad it finally works for ya
[05:46] <rmccue> I've used 10.04 before, and it worked OK-ish, but I wanted to upgrade to 12.04
[05:46] <rmccue> Thanks a bunch Pecker :D
[05:46] <Pecker> np
[05:47] <Pecker> ill be afk here if ya need me hilightme
[05:47] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: re: "fdisk"-usage.  from "man fdisk" this is interesting: "There  are several *fdisk programs around.  Each has its problems and strengths.  Try them in the order cfdisk,  fdisk,  sfdisk."
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2011/05/offline-dictionaries-in-ubuntu.html
[05:47] <iNTEl> ActionParsnip : ThankS
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: yeah cfdisk that's what I was trying to remember (used it in my gentoo days)
=== entropy-2 is now known as entropy-
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: all I did was: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+offline+dictionary
[05:48] <glades20_> No, what I'm meaning is I shouldn't have to terminal my os "out of the box" to get it to do basic crap. Ubuntu Software Center and Update manager should be completely unlocked, or have a clickable option to unlock them at least
[05:48] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i've always used fdisk myself, but need to "update" ;)
[05:48] <shinbet> well crap.
[05:48] <shinbet> Hey all.
[05:48] <rmccue> Afternoon.
[05:49] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : Q : how can i deal with my .exe files specially the games which need directx and flash ?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: you can use wine possibly, you can check teh appdb for compatibility
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: flash will run in your browser
[05:50] <shinbet> You could always run windows in a virtualbox.
[05:50] <shinbet> Too.
[05:50] <shinbet> Although it'll be virtualized and slow as all get out in all probability.
[05:50] <iNTEl> ActionParsnip : is the browser flash works with games 2
[05:50] <woot-0854> nice wine takes a minute to setup and breath
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: if its a flash game online, yes
[05:51] <shinbet> I managed to get Guild Wars 2 running fine.
[05:51] <woot-0854> shinbet: using vm or wine?
[05:51] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : what about the directx ?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Postal2 and Doom3 run amazingly :)
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: WIne is an abstraction for directx
[05:51] <fishcooker> how to switch from desktop to server version ... im on lucid release
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: add the boot option: text
[05:52] <shinbet> DirectX has been reverse engineered bro.
[05:52] <shinbet> :P
[05:52] <woot-0854> fishcooker: you can just add the programming as you need it
[05:52] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : am playing specify one and i searched alot to solve its proplem in ubuntu so i can say bye bye to windows
[05:52] <shinbet> Honestly why not just keep a windows install for gaming?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> shinbet: +1
[05:52] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : but not doesn't work
[05:52] <shinbet> It's not like Windows is the epitome of all evil.
[05:52] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : aha
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: you can dual boot you know...have both. Windows for games and Ubuntu for everything else
[05:53]  * shinbet wipes tear from eye
[05:53] <shinbet> I know I know.
[05:53] <shinbet> But seriously.
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> shinbet: ubuntu isn't always the answer
[05:53] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : ya i agree
[05:53] <shinbet> Having a windows partition for gaming isn't that bad.
[05:53] <gypsy_blood> hello, i am trying to get a game to work, and it specifies a range of network ports i need to choose from, when i list the ports in terminal, no ports are there in that range...anyone know how to create a new port? or any other way around this issue?
[05:53] <iNTEl> but that's means alot of drivers and lot of OSs
[05:53] <woot-0854> shinbet: but sometimes the win machine dosn't like the expanding alt boot part
[05:54] <shinbet> Up to the user then.
[05:54] <woot-0854> shinbet: see i dont know what that means. but my win died
[05:54] <shinbet> Ah.
[05:54] <shinbet> Virus I assume?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: is it a game server or a game itself?
[05:55] <wolfbyte> Android devices are not detected by default? What kind of sick twisted world is this?
[05:55] <woot-0854> shinbet: the ubuntu partition got world of warcrafted added to it.  faild on reboot
[05:55] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: its an mmorpg...Final Fantasy XIV, so i believe game server
[05:55] <shinbet> wut.
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> wolfbyte: is it a new android?
[05:55] <wolfbyte> galaxy nexus
[05:55] <glades20_> <ActionParsnip> I guess I don't understand, I entered the code you showed me exactly as you posted it.
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: did you check the appdb?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> wolfbyte: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity
[05:56] <fishcooker> thankyou ActionParsnip + woot-0854
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> wolfbyte: guess how I knew :)
[05:56] <woot-0854> shinbet: ya to windows partition didn't like the fact it lost 8 gigs on reboot
[05:56] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: appdb? whats that?
[05:56] <iNTEl> Actionparsnip : Creating config file /etc/default/dictd with new version

[05:56] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: why not find out
[05:56] <shinbet> When the whole "Ubuntu on Android" thing is finally ironed out I'm going to scrap all my computers and opt for getting a ridiculously overpowered Android phone.
[05:56] <wolfbyte> ActionParsnip: haha, but still, Windows recognizes it by default   :(
[05:56] <rmccue> I'm getting a fairly cryptic error when running xrandr --addmode: "X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)"
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> wolfbyte: its a different OS, it manages file systems differently
[05:57] <Spoom> i 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] <rmccue> I did xrandr --newmode with the output of `cvt 1440 900 60`, but doing --addmode gives me that error.
[05:57] <woot-0854> Spoom: testdisk and photorec
[05:58] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: im complete noob with linux...i dont even know what appdb is, muchless how to find...can you give a lil more info plz
[05:58] <woot-0854> Spoom: they are bot apt-get install testdisk
[05:58] <wolfbyte> I perfectly understand that, but I thought Ubuntu was all about the best user experience
[05:58] <woot-0854> both*
[05:58] <Spoom> k i'll try that out
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Spoom: Are you worried about the files being recovered by someone else? Are they secret?
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> Spoom: 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 resize
[05:58] <Spoom> no i don't care about them being recovered
[05:58] <Spoom> it's just that the data on the drive is a little bit messed up and like
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: use web searches. Even the simplest search will find it. I promise
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Spoom: Then shredding is pointless.
[05:58] <Spoom> windows won't install over what's already there
[05:59] <Spoom> thanks for the responses
[05:59] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: kk
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: try using a little initiative, it really goes far
[05:59] <glades20_> would running Ubuntu in VirtualBox be causing these issues for me?
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: even if you literally search for just: appdb  you find what you need.
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_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?
[06:00] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: 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 tho
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: but you are good at finding new stuff out online....yes?
[06:00] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: you are correct in that...just half asleep and not thinking completely straight atm lol, yeah im searching it now
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: so how is this any different?
[06:01] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: oh ok, appdb as in wine correct?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> gypsy_blood: yes as you are running a windows app
[06:02] <gypsy_blood> ActionParsnip: 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 port
[06:03] <woot-0854> !ports
[06:03] <ubottu> For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[06:03] <rmccue> So, no one has any idea why xrandr is failing for me?
[06:03] <woot-0854> sorry
[06:03] <woot-0854> kinda butted in
[06:03] <woot-0854> I like the ubottu
[06:03] <gypsy_blood> ubottu: thnx alot, checking that out, been searching different ways to do it for a while now
[06:03] <ubottu> gypsy_blood: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[06:07] <rmccue> No one? :/
[06:07] <woot-0854> rmccue: I dont know what that is
[06:07] <mboone> Does anyone know a fix for the Ubuntu "Missing Plugin" message in terms of videos and flash elements on websites ie Youtube?
[06:08] <woot-0854> rmccue: does it cause your xsession to fail?
[06:08] <woot-0854> !flash
[06:08] <ubottu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:08] <rmccue> I'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] <rmccue> woot-0854: It's not actually doing anything yet.
[06:09] <woot-0854> rmccue: if you # out.  it might auto config
[06:10] <woot-0854> rmccue: it might not work
[06:10] <woot-0854> rmccue: not safe
[06:11] <rmccue> woot-0854: What do you mean? What am I commenting out?
[06:11] <glades20> Ok, let me ask another way...How do I remove or disable the key authentication requirement altogether
[06:11] <rmccue> glades20: http://askubuntu.com/questions/74345/how-do-i-bypass-ignore-the-gpg-signature-checks-of-apt
[06:12] <woot-0854> rmccue: is this a config.lst for boot?
[06:12] <glades20> thnx, I'll try it out
[06:12] <rmccue> woot-0854: No, this is via the command line
[06:13] <booh-> I passed a lot of hours to search and try apps... I can't find!!  I want a small app that I can lunch from command line, to view random pictures in a directory, full screen with transition (on the fly, not rendering to movie first...)
[06:13] <woot-0854> rmccue: well invalid paramater means bad coding
[06:13] <rmccue> woot-0854: I'm aware of this, but I took the line directly from cvt
[06:14] <woot-0854> rmccue: explore :)
[06:14] <woot-0854> rmccue: and youtube
[06:14] <booh-> gliv seems to be near of what I'm looking for but I would like random transition and gliv has only fading between pictures
[06:14] <rmccue> woot-0854: I have been and I was getting nowhere, hence why I asked here.
[06:15] <woot-0854> rmccue: !fourms
[06:15] <woot-0854> that didnt work
[06:15] <woot-0854> always spell that word wrong
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> booh-: gthumb maybe
[06:15] <Moonlightning> I seem to have a package in a half-installed state and can't get it to fully install or fully remove. There was an EULA attached which I didn't want to agree to, and there was no Decline button or any apparent way to cancel the installation, so I just killed the `dpkg` process. What now?

[06:18] <ansii> Hello everyone.. i have a query.. i have a DV6 laptop 1152TX which has 2 headphone jacks.. how can i stream different audio on different jacks
[06:18] <ansii> can anyone answer my query??
[06:18] <ansii> Hi ActionParsnip :)
[06:18] <woot-0854> ansii: one could be left, one could be right
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> hi ansii
[06:19] <crizis> should be doable with pulseaudio
[06:19] <crizis> ansii, click sound icon at top bar > settings
[06:19] <ansii> woot-0854 , what do u mean
[06:19] <ansii> crizis and then
[06:20] <crizis> i don't know, play around with pulseaudio panel
[06:20] <crizis> :p
[06:20] <crizis> whenever you have software running iirc you can define to what target it streams the audio
[06:20] <woot-0854> ansii: you have do deal with irq's at times
[06:20] <crizis> ansii, actually, search for 'pulseaudio' in software center, there's pulseuaudio settings tool
[06:21] <ansii> okay.. woot-0854 how do i deal with that
[06:21] <crizis> this lets you define targets per application, ubuntus default one doesn't it seems
[06:21] <booh-> ActionParsnip,  I saw this page before, nothing interesting in it.
[06:21] <woot-0854> intrupt requests?  I think you would have to mod prioritys.  might have to set dma's too
[06:22] <ansii> Crizis , there is nothing called as pulseaudio settings tool
[06:22] <ansii> in software centre
[06:22] <crizis> well, my ubuntu is in finnish so i don't know exact english name :P
[06:22] <ansii> woot-0854 : sounds exiting. but how do i achieve all that
[06:22] <crizis> just look around the search results
[06:23] <ansii> is it Pulse audio manager?
[06:23] <woot-0854> ansii: start off with this.  in terminal type:alsamixer
[06:23] <ansii> ok woot :)
[06:23] <ansii> awesome woot i see a colorful screen
[06:24] <woot-0854> are there diffrent bars?
[06:24] <ansii> yes i can see a few woot-0854
[06:24] <woot-0854> they all represent out put /in put for audio/sound
[06:25] <Moonlightning> I seem to have a package in a half-installed state and can't get it to fully install or fully remove. There was an EULA attached which I didn't want to agree to, and there was no Decline button or any apparent way to cancel the installation, so I just killed the `dpkg` process. `dpkg -L` says that the package's file list is missing. How do I get rid of it?
[06:25] <ansii> woot-0854 , what next
[06:25] <woot-0854> ansii: work, learn, search, and good luck

[06:28] <ansii> can anyone please help me
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> glades20: its in the next release, not obsolete at all
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: use XFCE or LXDE as the desktop instead of Gnome
[06:28] <skandee>  /reconnect
[06:29] <glades20> I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with this thing. 10.04 was nowhere near this difficulty setting up
[06:29] <redwarriors25_> how can i use XFCE or LXDE
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: install one or both, log off and choose the new session
[06:29] <woot-0854> glades20: 10.04 still in service?
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: you'll want lxde or xfce4 package
[06:30] <redwarriors25_> yes
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> woot-0854: til April 2013
[06:30] <redwarriors25_> what comman

[06:30] <woot-0854> ty Action
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: sudo apt-get install xfce4 lxde     wasn't that obvious?
[06:31] <redwarriors25_> i see im sorry im noob
[06:31] <woot-0854> redwarriors25_: I never graduated from noob
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: or yuou can use software centre....
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> redwarriors25_: its no different to installing any other package
[06:32] <redwarriors25_> thank you for the infos
[06:32] <ansii> Hello everyone.. i have a query.. i have a DV6 laptop 1152TX which has 2 headphone jacks.. how can i stream different audio on different jacks
[06:33] <redwarriors25_> can it use also in other linux
[06:33] <bazhang> redwarriors25_, what other 'linux'
[06:33] <redwarriors25_> redhat,debian etc
[06:33] <bazhang> redwarriors25_, what version of ubuntu are you on now
[06:34] <redwarriors25_> any other idea other than installing ram or using XFCE or LXDE
[06:34] <qnkel> hello
[06:34] <bazhang> redwarriors25_, yes , ask in #debian for debian support
[06:34] <woot-0854> qnkel: hi
[06:34] <bazhang> redwarriors25_, what version of ubuntu are you now on
[06:35] <woot-0854> redwarriors25_: uname -a
[06:35] <qnkel> hey, is a firefox version for kubuntu avaible like on windows 7?
[06:35] <qnkel> the window design, frameless
[06:35] <mboone> So I'm having a weird issue. I haven't been able to watch any flash videos with Ubuntu (ie Youtube) so I've been trying to find a solution. Updated some things, and opened firefox, went to youtube and clicked the video. It worked! Weird thing, is that no other videos will play. There is just an empty spot where the video should be. This is also true for any other website. I went back to the video that worked for me, and it still works. But s
[06:35] <mboone> till no other videos will. Any ideas?

[06:36] <redwarriors25_> 12.04

[06:36] <bazhang> woot-0854, no it does not
[06:36] <woot-0854> I just did it
[06:37] <bazhang> woot-0854, stay on  topic please. this is ubuntu support only
[06:37] <redwarriors25_> is that a command?
[06:37] <bazhang> redwarriors25_, how much ram do you have

[06:37] <qnkel> thx woot-0854
[06:37] <redwarriors25_> 512mb
[06:38] <woot-0854> redwarriors25_: a command is a phrase used in the terminal

[06:40] <morgan> which new kernel version is safe to install on 12.04 ?
[06:40] <HoboSteaux> I'm having an issue with python; 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x are installed (and useable), but apt keeps complaining that 2.6 can not be found. Is there somewhere that I can manually show it where 2.6 is?
[06:40] <bazhang> morgan, the one that comes with 12.04
[06:40] <bazhang> morgan, why would you need another
[06:41] <morgan> bazhang, because I want the latest! D: 3.6 or something
[06:41] <Moonlightning> ...hmm...
[06:41] <bazhang> morgan, why do you need the latest
[06:41] <IBM1234> I keep getting errors all the time that pop on my screen saying...ubuntu has experienced an error and if i would like to report it and when I do I continue recieving the same errors about a month has passed and the same keeps poping up
[06:42] <Moonlightning> I just tried to update all packages, and I got the EULA for the half-installed package. How do I cancel the installation?
[06:43] <morgan> bazhang, I don't *need* the latest, I just want it

[06:45] <crunchbang> sr iron  wont excute as an executable web browser in crunch bang
[06:45] <mboone> I can't get Youtube videos to play (or any flash elements) But I have adobe flash, and restricted elements didn't work either. Any solutions to this?
[06:45] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: ewww
[06:45] <Moonlightning> Exactly. :P
[06:45] <dragonslay> what happens if i stop vboxweb-service from startup..? will that stop me from starting a virtual machine?
[06:45] <crunchbang> i dont want chromuim  iwant sr iron
[06:45] <Moonlightning> I didn't see any obvious way to cancel (no Decline button or anything), so I just did a `kill -TERM $dpkg_process_pid`
[06:45] <woot-0854> crtl+alt+f1 sudo reboot but that could SERIOUSLY DAMAGE your pc
[06:45] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: ya much safer
[06:46] <HoboSteaux> crunchbang: is the alternative browser installed?
[06:46] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: I just shut them down :)
[06:46] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: yes, but now it's in a weird, half-installed state.
[06:46] <IBM1234> Is there anyone experiencing error screen that pops up every once in a while?
[06:46] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: huh?
[06:46] <IBM1234> I update all the time ans contibue to recieve these errors, very anoying
[06:46] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: I burn out alot of computers
[06:47] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: I would rather not burn out this one. XD
[06:47] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: gotta VGA card for a P IV?
[06:47] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: what? XD
[06:47] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: Pentium 4
[06:48] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: this is a purely software question? XD
[06:48] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: was only about half serious.  I really do need one.
[06:49] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: I'm not too good with hardware. I can change RAM and that's about it. XD
[06:49] <Moonlightning> I suppose given some instructions, I could follow them, but... *shrug*
[06:49] <woot-0854> IBM1234: it can if your in the middle of an update and don't like the EULA.
[06:50] <Moonlightning> Anyway, that's kind of off-topic. How do I cancel this? XD
[06:50] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: open up an ssh for me ?
[06:51] <HoboSteaux> Python: 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x are installed, apt keeps complaining that 2.6 can not be found. Can manually show apt where 2.6 is?
[06:51] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: huh? O.o
[06:51] <IBM1234> lol

[06:51] <Gavriel> I want to calibrate my monitor color(on a laptop), I used Synaptic Manager to install Argyll. How do I start Argyll now? (I'm on lubuntu 12.04)
[06:52] <random__> Trying to run two monitors on ubuntu 12:04 and when i open nvidia-settings i get these to messages in console http://pastebin.ca/2205497 and when i try to enable my second display i get this message http://pastebin.ca/
[06:52] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: what package?
[06:52] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[06:52] <nrdb> Gavriel, synaptic will tell you what files any package installed.
[06:53] <random__> Anyone have an idea?
[06:53] <Moonlightning> Are you looking for a random__ idea? ;3
[06:53] <random__> Moonlightning, Lol no..just want two monitors to wrok :)
[06:53] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: I guess you could purge it
[06:54] <woot-0854> might get a few squares
[06:54] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: can't do anything with apt-* until this finishes or is cancelled
[06:54] <Gavriel> nrdb: So, doubleclick all of them until I find the right one?
[06:54] <Moonlightning> ...squares?
[06:54] <ansii> Hello everyone.. i have a query.. i have a DV6 laptop 1152TX which has 2 headphone jacks.. how can i stream different audio on different jacks
[06:54] <ansii> can anyone please help me
[06:54] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: is it running on the xsession?
[06:55] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: this is all in `screen` in a tty. X3
[06:55] <nrdb> Gavriel, I would look for some in a directory in the path... /usr/bin etc.
[06:55] <woot-0854> root?
[06:55] <Moonlightning> blackl, using sudo
[06:56] <random__> IBM1234,  me? Just how they should be? dvi cable.
[06:56] <woot-0854> try tty2 login root and see if your script from eariler works
[06:56] <IBM1234> do you have two seperate ports for this or a specail card?
[06:56] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: what script?
[06:56] <blackshirt> usually, normal user can browse /usr/bin directory
[06:56] <random__> yea i have 2 ports and 2 cards in SLI but plugging them into the same card.
[06:57] <mboone> Anybody know why I can only watch videos from the Youtube homepage when not logged in, and when the video doesn't link to a channel page?
[06:57] <woot-0854> kill -TERM $dpkg_process_pid
[06:57] <woot-0854> or top
[06:57] <Moonlightning> Ah...
[06:57] <Moonlightning> So just the same thing again. XD
[06:57] <woot-0854> ya as root
[06:57] <Moonlightning> Okay, and then how do I get it out of the resulting half-installed state? XD
[06:58] <random__> Yea just like on any other OS, Like this works just fine in windows, and previous setups with linux i've had. Just not with this distro...i dont see why not.
[06:58] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: if you dont agree with the eula I would remove the package
[06:58] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: that's what I'm having trouble with.
[06:58] <woot-0854> ya i was guessing that your root status might take hold of the situation
[06:59] <Moonlightning> It seems like everything that requires it to be installed says it's not; everything that requires it not to be installed says it is. >.<
[06:59] <blackshirt> moonlighting, what the problems?
[06:59] <Moonlightning> blackshirt: some package is in a half-installed state and I can't seem to remove it
[06:59] <random__> Yup does nothing.
[07:00] <random__> It has the monitor name discoverd, and even what the native resolution. just wont start it. or let me start it
[07:01] <blackshirt> moonlighting, try to use aptitude..its have a better dependencies resolver
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruption on precise 12.04.1 clean installed (ati card on radeon driver opensource)
[07:02] <random__> Well two monitors isnt hard to do, almost all cards can do it. hvnt ran into a card that cant. exluding onboards. i have 8800gt X2 in SLI
[07:03] <booh-> I passed a lot of hours to search and try apps... I can't find!!  I want a small app that I can lunch from command line, to view random pictures in a directory, full screen with transition (on the fly, not rendering to movie first...)  GLSLIDESHOW do a very good job but I need to start is on 3 different video card each one with it's own list of pictures...
[07:03] <booh-> seem to be hard to configure glslideshow outside the screensaver...
[07:04] <booh-> glslideshow don't want to start fullscreen.
[07:04] <booh-> always in a window
[07:05] <Moonlightning> blackshirt: `aptitude` gives me the same error
[07:05] <random__> bascially my problem.
[07:05] <Moonlightning> dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching ttf-mscorefonts-installer:powerpc
[07:05] <Moonlightning> Press return to continue.
[07:06] <woot-0854> "Parden me while I burn, and rise above the flame"
[07:06] <woot-0854> peace peepz
[07:06] <woot-0854> oh Moonlightning might just reboot into safe mode
[07:06] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: huh?
[07:07] <woot-0854> you know crtl+alt+f2 is a terminal screen right?
[07:07] <Moonlightning> Yeah.
[07:07] <blackshirt> moonlighting, i think you should have a bit understanding on apt system...maybe bit a hack on /var/lib/dpkg/status file
[07:07] <woot-0854> eh thats what I would use and just grub into safe mode
[07:08] <woot-0854> good luck
[07:08] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: what's the difference between safe mode and normal mode?
[07:08] <crunchbang> well igive up nobody wil lgive me an answer
[07:08] <Moonlightning> !forums | crunchbang
[07:08] <ubottu> crunchbang: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. Kubuntu Forums are found at http://www.kubuntuforums.net. There is also a channel on freenode IRC #ubuntuforums
[07:08] <Moonlightning> CrypticSquared: also: http://www.askubuntu.com/
[07:08] <Moonlightning> err
[07:08] <Moonlightning> crunchbang: *
[07:09] <woot-0854> safe 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 it
[07:09] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: also, I have yaboot, not grub
[07:10] <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-0854> Moonlightning: you know ur calls for it?
[07:10] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: no. XD
[07:10] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: I dont know yaboot
[07:11] <subdesign> its a unity error when I cant drag a app window form one monitor to the second one?
[07:11] <subdesign> its not permanent error
[07:12] <nate_h_> or can specifying the data-dir only be done at package build time
[07:16] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: I found a purge if you agree to it then disagree
[07:17] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: wait, if you agree, there's a way to disagree later?
[07:17] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: so after you agree to it, reinstall it then sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall ttf-mscorefonst-installer
[07:18] <woot-0854> I guess that would leave you to before you agreed to it
[07:18] <Moonlightning> But I don't want to agree to it! >.<
[07:19] <woot-0854> ya 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 wine
[07:19] <Moonlightning> But there IS no way to say you don't agree!
[07:20] <Moonlightning> There's an 'Ok' button, and that's it.
[07:20] <Moonlightning> The /reason/ I killed the dpkg process is because there's no way to disagree. XD
[07:20] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: well sorry.  i would agree to disagree so to speak
[07:20] <twitchie> close window would be "I do not accept" ?
[07:21] <Moonlightning> twitchie: there's no window. >.>
[07:21] <twitchie> control+c :P
[07:21] <Moonlightning> Does nothing.
[07:21] <twitchie> weird
[07:21] <Moonlightning> Yeah. :P
[07:21] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: top kill the pid?
[07:21] <Moonlightning> That's what I /did/, essentially.
[07:21] <Moonlightning> kill -TERM
[07:22] <Moonlightning> But that left it in a borked state.
[07:22] <woot-0854> sudo reboot
[07:22] <woot-0854> its dead anyway
[07:22] <Moonlightning> Tried that...
[07:22] <woot-0854> ??
[07:22] <woot-0854> and ur back to a broken dpkg?
[07:22] <Moonlightning> Yes, and we're going in circles here. XD
[07:22] <woot-0854> thats lame
[07:23] <Moonlightning> x.x
[07:23] <woot-0854> install fedora 17 XD
[07:23] <woot-0854> or puppy
[07:23] <Moonlightning> I'm between ISPs atm; using a neighbor's connection, and they have a bandwidth cap.

[07:24] <Moonlightning> Besides, I have no blank discs. XD
[07:24] <woot-0854> Puppylinux is very helpful. so are usb's that can flash over live sessions
[07:24] <bazhang> Moonlightning, lets move on please
[07:24] <Moonlightning> ...umm...?
[07:24] <bazhang> woot-0854, its ubuntu support only.
[07:24] <Moonlightning> Move on from my problem?
[07:25] <bazhang> Moonlightning, you need to accept the license agreement to install that particular set of fonts.
[07:25] <woot-0854> bazhang: 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 yes
[07:25] <woot-0854> bazhang: it is very important to read eula's
[07:25] <Moonlightning> bazhang: I don't /want/ to install it, though!
[07:25] <Moonlightning> I just want the borked package off my system. x.x
[07:25] <bazhang> woot-0854, wine has nothing to do with this. the microsoft core fonts is not via wine
[07:26] <Moonlightning> Why is EULA'd software allowed in the repos, anyway? Isn't it supposed to be all free? >.<
[07:26] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: you could live into the box locate the package on the disk and manually remove it
[07:27] <Azelphur> Moonlightning: there are different repos for free software and proprietary software
[07:27] <adores> How do I switch from one language layout to another with shortcut button on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[07:27] <Moonlightning> Azelphur: I'm pretty sure I never added the non-free repos to the list...
[07:28] <Azelphur> Moonlightning: they are enabled by default iirc.
[07:28] <Azelphur> you can disable them though.
[07:28] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: freeware, shareware, both can be non-free and non-share :(
[07:28] <Moonlightning> Argh! >.<
[07:28] <auronandace> adores: 10.10 is no longer supported
[07:28] <Moonlightning> Okay, how do I disable them?
[07:29] <adores> It's all about my weak GPU with 32MB memory :(
[07:29] <adores> I've tried alt+ctrl and vice versa but seems not working
[07:30] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: you can try a usb boot. mount the /dev/disk cd into the mounted dir and locate ur package
[07:31] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: why can't I do it from a normal boot?
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> im 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-0854> root premissions take place on the location of the FSH ie the flash drive instead of the hard disk
[07:31] <adores> there is device that boost your range but will cost about 150$
[07:31] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: wha?
[07:32] <Moonlightning> I do have root access...
[07:32] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: sudo is almost su is root
[07:32] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[07:33] <woot-0854> Moonlightning: so sudo su on a live or fresh boot to get root
[07:33] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: why can't I just get root on a normal boot?
[07:33] <ShapeShifter499> how do I make one swap partition primary over the others?   like I want swap partition 1 to to the first used over any other
[07:34] <woot-0854> the 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 install
[07:34] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: can't I just reboot, then?
[07:35] <edlang> ShapeShifter499: see the -p flag
[07:35] <edlang>        -p, --priority priority
[07:35] <edlang>               Specify  the  priority  of the swap device.  priority is a value
[07:35] <woot-0854> if the process dosen't take hold during boot up.  then i would see dmseg|tail
[07:36] <Moonlightning> woot-0854: it's just fonts. XD
[07:36] <Moonlightning> And I don't think anything is busy?
[07:36] <Moonlightning> So none of this is necessary lol
[07:36] <woot-0854> yeaaaaa
[07:36] <woot-0854> we're done?
[07:36] <Moonlightning> ...
[07:36] <Moonlightning> No.
[07:36] <woot-0854> lame
[07:36] <Moonlightning> The package is still half-installed.
[07:36] <woot-0854> but I am outta here
[07:37] <Moonlightning> /That's/ the problem. XD
[07:37] <Moonlightning> ... x.x
[07:37] <woot-0854> :p I tried
[07:37] <Moonlightning> Well, thanks, I guess...
[07:37] <dragonslay> can i disable gdm displlay manager from startup if i have gdm3?

[07:50] <patie> hi, i have some virtual hosts on localhost / ubuntu11.. 1. all virtual host works ok, 2. 127.0.0.1 works ok, 3. localhost domain showing other page.. whats the problem ? any idea ? thanks
[07:52] <Eagleman> What would be the best place to mount an internal harddisk in ubuntu ( which folder ) ?
[07:53] <auronandace> Eagleman: it should be available in /media already
[07:54] <patie> ah, ok my problem solved - its only cache.. sorry
[07:55] <Eagleman> isnt /media for cd-roms, usb sticks, extern storages ?
[07:56] <auronandace> Eagleman: and other partitions
[07:56] <Eagleman> and /media is mounted on the boot disk?
[07:57] <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 idea
[07:57] <Eagleman> ok, thanks
[08:00] <thebrush> hello, what is the best client for RPD from linux to linux (possibibly better than using VNC :) )
[08:00] <Eagleman> RPD?
[08:00] <Munzx> hi! i have bought a game from "ubuntu software center" and then had to format my pc and reinstall ubuntu "a derivative of ubuntu name voyage" . however , how can i download the game again ?!
[08:00] <thebrush> Eagleman, sorry RDP ..
[08:01] <auronandace> Munzx: derivatives are not supported
[08:01] <thebrush> Eagleman, little dyslexic  :)
[08:01] <somsip> thebrush: I used remmina and it seemed easy enough
[08:01] <Munzx> auronandace : it works fine .... i even can download whatever i want from the "software download center"
[08:02] <thebrush> somsip, but serverside?
[08:02] <somsip> thebrush: sorry - misread that totally. Thought you asked for linux to win
[08:02] <thebrush> ah ok, thanks the same :)(
[08:02] <auronandace> Munzx: only ubuntu official flavours are supported here
[08:02] <thebrush> ah ok, thanks the same :)
[08:03] <Munzx> auronandace : do you mean that you wont provide a support here ? if so , then how can i do that from ubuntu
[08:03] <thebrush> I'm try to see 2X but only rpm packed, migrate in deb with alien but doesn't work... :(
[08:04] <Munzx> auronandace : ok , i will reinstall "ubuntu" , may i know how can i get the game downloaded plz?
[08:04] <Eagleman> And what would be a good name for harddisk when you have multiple ( as a mount point )?
[08:05] <Deutopia> download it from the software center
[08:05] <auronandace> Munzx: i've never purchased games from the software centre, either you might hive to but it again or you might need to provide proof of purchase
[08:06] <anAngel> Hello. On ubuntu precise with apache2+libapache2-mod-python when i try to browse to some python script in the browser it tries to download/save the script and not to be executed by the server. Any ideas how to fix this?
[08:06] <llutz_> Eagleman: what do you want to use it for? /media/videos, /media/moms-photos, /media/allmydata-without-backup, just use a descriptive name
[08:06] <Eagleman> Its for general usage all sort of things
[08:06] <llutz_> Eagleman: you are not fixed to use nobody-can-remember-UUIDs
[08:07] <Eagleman> series/movies/music/downloads/virtual machines...
[08:07] <auronandace> Eagleman: i tend to name mine after the /dev/sda*
[08:07] <Eagleman> nobody-can-remember-UUIDs ?
[08:07] <auronandace> !uuid | Eagleman
[08:07] <ubottu> Eagleman: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:08] <Eagleman> aha
[08:08] <Munzx> auronandace: i have the payment recipe on my account with ubuntu !!!
[08:09] <Munzx> auronandace : i mean the payment bill!
[08:09] <auronandace> Munzx: like i said, i've never purchased from the software centre, ask somebody who knows
[08:11] <Munzx> auronandace : sorry !!! .... i thought you are a "support team" member
[08:12] <Deutopia> munzx; download it from software center. thats where you got it right?
[08:12] <spartan29> can i have a little help plz?
[08:12] <Deutopia> what is the question?
[08:12] <auronandace> Munzx: most people here are just volunteers
[08:13] <kyc> hi everybody
[08:13] <spartan29> yeah..i am a relatively new linux user..been using ubuntu for the past 1.5 months..i installed KDE today and wanted to install a chat client...so installed xchat
[08:13] <spartan29> how can i access facebook?
[08:13] <spartan29> via xchat?
[08:13] <Deutopia> xchat is not for facebook
[08:13] <Kartagis> xchat has nothing to do with facebook
[08:13] <spartan29> okay...
[08:13] <auronandace> spartan29: xchat is for irc only
[08:13] <Munzx> auronandace : then thanks for volunteers ... :) ... however i wish that some one can help me with this !
[08:14] <Kartagis> install firefox
[08:14] <Kartagis> you should have it already
[08:14] <spartan29> hmm.....yeah..i know browsers..opera...firefox...chrome...
[08:14] <Kartagis> spartan29: ^
[08:14] <auronandace> Munzx: continue to ask in the channel
[08:14] <spartan29> yeah i have all that!!
[08:14] <spartan29> but xchat seems kind of cool!
[08:14] <Deutopia> munz; you said you downloaded it from the software center. if you cant get it there, check the game's website.
[08:14] <Kartagis> spartan29: if you want a cooler IRC client, install kvirc
[08:15] <spartan29> okay...thanks...actually i don't know much of computers...actually i am a geneticist
[08:15] <Kartagis> and I repeat, xchat has nothing to do with facebook
[08:15] <spartan29> yeah..i get it...don't get annoyed kartagis!!
[08:15] <spartan29> i completely understand it now!
[08:15] <Munzx> Deutopia : i can find in the "software center" but i can not download it without buying it again!!
[08:16] <zetheroo> what is the command to specify the home folder for a newly created user?
[08:16] <Kartagis> zetheroo: -d I think
[08:16] <Deutopia> you need to contact the manufacturer or get a refund from the credit card company
[08:17] <Kartagis> zetheroo: that's a useradd switch. did you want to do afterwards?
[08:17] <Deutopia> you dont call microsoft and ask them for help with purchasing issues with another game company.
[08:17] <zetheroo> Kartagis: ok, I know that is the 'option' but I am not sure how it is used ... 'useradd -d newuser /directory/path'  ?
[08:17] <crizis> spartan29, kopete (kde's instant messenger) can do facebook iirc, also empathy and pidgin (gnome) can use facebook chat
[08:17] <Myrtti> spartan29: you can use Facebook Chat with Empathy
[08:17] <Myrtti> spartan29: or Kopete, as crizis said
[08:17] <Munzx> Deutopia : 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] <Moonlightning> Is there a way to specify a different shell for `at` to use?
[08:17] <Kartagis> zetheroo: useradd -d /path/to/home newuser
[08:17] <Deutopia> you dont call microsoft and ask them for help with purchasing issues with another game company.
[08:18] <spartan29> yeah...i know that...i was using ubuntu's unity interface for a long time..switched to kde today
[08:18] <zetheroo> Kartagis: well I would like to create the new user account with the path to the home folder ... in one command if possible
[08:18] <tsimpson> Munzx: there should be a "File -> Reinstall Previous Purchases" option in the software center
[08:18] <zetheroo> Kartagis: will that command do it?
[08:18] <spartan29> there empathy is already integrated isn't it?
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Munzx: 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] <Deutopia> you need to talk to the people who made or distribute the game. ubuntu did not sell it to you. ubuntu did not make it.
[08:19] <Jordan_U> Munzx: If you get to a point where it asks you for credit card information then you have done something wrong.
[08:19] <Kartagis> zetheroo: then do useradd -m newuser
[08:19] <Munzx> Deutopia : 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] <spartan29> kde is pretty cool!!
[08:19] <Kartagis> zetheroo: that will automatically assign the home folder

[08:25] <Munzx>  Jordan_U : i am not sure what u mean by "Ubuntu Single Sign On" but if you mean logging in then yes , i did , i can even view the "game" bill through my account on the "ubuntu sftware center" website
[08:26] <Kartagis> zetheroo: but use it at your own risk, as that will also remove any files owned by the user

[08:26] <alba-andy> guys, I've been given access to a web site from my VPS ip address only but I only have access from that IP address, I can't get my head around ssh tunneling so is there a web browser interface I can install on the VPS that will allow me to browse as if from that machine?
[08:27] <pXavier> WHy is Cinnamon not supported here?
[08:27] <Kartagis> zetheroo: good
[08:27] <Jordan_U> Munzx: When you say the "ubuntu software center" website, do you mean the page which is displayed within Ubuntu Software Center, or are you accessing this via a web browser?

[08:29] <tsimpson> we don't have a factoid for *every single derivative* in the universe
[08:29] <pXavier> Kartagis it says it knows nothing about cinnamon

[08:30] <Kartagis> llutz_: speaking of which, is there a command to change system proxy settings? Chrome uses system settings
[08:31] <alba-andy> "ssh -D7070 user@your-vps" on the vps then I'll need to setup putting on my laptop and then set my browser to use the local port
[08:31] <llutz_> Kartagis: idk, sry.

[08:54] <Pastulio> Hey everybody!
[08:55] <Pastulio> Quick 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] <Pastulio> A lot of site mention adding a ppa
[08:55] <Pastulio> But how can I be sure to trust this source?
=== root____1 is now known as userubuntu
[08:56] <cfhowlett> Pastulio: for best results use Ubuntu software center.
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> Pastulio  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to get the latest supported versions
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> Pastulio  if you want to go beyond what's in the repos, you can get ppa's, but they are not supported
[08:58] <llutz_> if those versions were in the repos, one wouldn't need a ppa
[08:58] <Pastulio> Ok thanks cfhowlett and MonkeyDust
[08:58] <Pastulio> I would like to go beyond what's in the repos
[08:58] <cfhowlett> Good luck, have fun.
[08:58] <Pastulio> but would I better compile from source or add the ppa?
[08:58] <Pastulio> I presume adding the ppa will also enable updates in the software update manager?
[08:58] <llutz_> Pastulio: easier to use a ppa, better...?
[08:59] <Pastulio> llutz_: Well, the problem with the ppa is, that anyone can make one, right? So I have no way of knowing what I'm getting
[09:00] <llutz_> Pastulio: thats it, if you want to use it, you have to trust it or leave it
[09:00] <llutz_> !ppa > Pastulio

[09:02] <smoothseas> that gives you the info for gimp
[09:04] <llutz_> Pastulio: virtualbox.org has an own ubuntu-repo, so no need for a ppa there (but still the trust-problem)

[09:27] <akis> hi all. i am running on my desktop a fresh newly installation of xubuntu 12.04. Everything is fine and the last thing i have to setup is my usb analogue tv device. lsusb gives me that the system recognize the device: <<Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0573:4450 Zoran Co. Personal Media Division (Nogatech) PixelView PlayTv-USB PRO (PAL) FM>>. what do i have to do to setup this device? do i have to search for a driver or is it already installed? what program
[09:27] <akis> can i use to see TV and can i download it using <<Ubuntu Software Center>>?
[09:28] <Jynx> hax
[09:28] <Deutopia> mythtv
[09:28] <cornfeed> is there a popular place to get custom repo source lists? i know in gentoo they have layman that allows for the easy addition and listing of popular repo maintainers
[09:29] <Jynx> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU0Jv5T8vLM hax
[09:31] <akis> MythTV Frontend?
[09:33] <llutz_> akis: it's possibly easier to use a standalone program like tvtime
[09:34] <k1l> !ot > Jynx
[09:34] <ubottu> Jynx, please see my private message
[09:34] <Jynx> ok baby
[09:34] <Jynx> i love you too ;)
[09:34] <antonio_> deutopia: it works in the cd player in the car...but it doesn't work in ubuntu
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> cornfeed:there so many ppa's out there, maybe easier to choose good package first to add manually?
[09:35] <akis> how can i be sure before install a program that my device works under the right driver?
=== philippe is now known as Guest70415
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> akis:download the correct driver for the model
[09:36] <akis> yea ok. but how?
[09:36] <taruti> How does one change the default handler of ftp:// bookmarks from Firefox to Nautilus in Precise? The web has some solutions for the older versions and those files don't exist on a precise installation.
[09:37] <akis> <additonal drivers> doesn't help me
[09:38] <Eagleman> Is it smart to link samba shares with ln -s links to those folders?

[09:38] <Eagleman> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Sep 19 11:23 media -> /media/harddisks/data/media/
[09:39] <lotuspsychje> akis:to check your hardware first
=== Guest70415 is now known as Philippe-PETER-D
[09:39] <akis> my hardware is: <<Zoran Co. Personal Media Division (Nogatech) PixelView PlayTv-USB PRO (PAL) FM>>
[09:39] <k1l> akis: http://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/USB  says its supported by the kernel modul usbvision , but couldnt find more about it
[09:40] <johnm> akis: 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] <crazydip> how do i check my software center purchase history?
[09:40] <tsimpson> Eagleman: depends what you mean by "smart"?
[09:41] <johnm> akis: 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] <akis> so that means that the device is already recognized and installed?
[09:41] <Eagleman> tsimpson 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 links
[09:41] <llutz_> akis: "lsmod | grep usbvision"
[09:41] <johnm> akis: no, it means that the device ID is known, and the usbvideo driver is what you need to drive it.
[09:42] <bluenemo> where can i find the default sources.list files for each release?
[09:42] <tsimpson> Eagleman: that's just the permissions of the link, it's the permissions of what they point to that matters
[09:43] <akis> are they good or bad news? : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1214482/
[09:43] <Eagleman> tsimpson for exaple:  drwxrwx--- 10 me   me   4096 Sep 19 11:33 dropbox
[09:44] <johnm> akis: it means it's detected it and it should be working, yes
[09:44] <k1l> akis: the driver/modul is loaded
[09:44] <johnm> akis: but you'll still need some v4l pvr-like software to use it
[09:44] <tsimpson> Eagleman: yes, the link is only a file that points to somewhre, it doesn't alter the permissions of what it points to
[09:44] <akis> so do i have just to proceed with tvtime installation?
[09:44] <Eagleman> tsimpson bad example
[09:45] <johnm> akis: yes.
[09:45] <akis> or do i need any more application?
[09:45] <llutz_> akis: for just watching tv no
[09:45] <Eagleman> I can see the folder Rob in my share map, but the permission of the file are: drwxrwx--- 2 jrpoot jrpoot 4096 Mar 23 20:13 rob   And i am not in the group jrpoot.  So why am i able to see the folder in the share map?
=== florin is now known as Guest63739
[09:46] <akis> ok. i proceed with installation and i will announce here the results. thank you in advance!
[09:46] <tsimpson> Eagleman: just because you can see it, doesn't mean you can access it
[09:46] <Eagleman> I cant acces the folder, but i can see it
[09:47] <Eagleman> I dont even want to see it
[09:47] <Eagleman> Is there a way to achieve that?
[09:47] <tsimpson> Eagleman: maybe there's a configuration option on the server that hosts the shares, but I really don't know if it's possible
[09:49] <jakepetroules> i'm trying to install openjdk-7-jre but i keep getting unmet dependency errors

[09:52] <Deutopia> after restoreing a backup with redo, the system is read only and i cant modify anything
[09:53] <akis> well. i dont it works. tv time says: no signal, frames too short from usb vision, cannot open capture device de/video0. Any idea?
[09:54] <Deutopia> i've only used WinTV and ATI TV tuners, and they worked without any problems so i dont know
[09:54] <akis> is it win tv available for ubuntu?
[09:55] <Deutopia> winTV is the product name
[09:55] <Deutopia> of the tuner card
[09:55] <akis> a ok. yes sure for happauge cards.
[09:55] <Deutopia> yes
[09:56] <llutz_> akis: it might be that the usbvision needs some options when loaded (tuner=, card=). you might check "dmesg" to get more info

[10:56] <MonkeyDust> how is it possible to break lightdm?

[11:03] <syr_> dr_willis: i mean that for each of the ubuntu-tweak settings, i reset them to defaults
[11:03] <syr_> lol
[11:04] <dr_willis> i dout see how most of them would affect lightdm at all.
[11:04] <syr_> oh, there's some settings to do with the login screen
[11:04] <syr_> i don't know how it works, hence me using the GUI thing. regret that.
[11:05] <syr_> oh well, seems to be working now
[11:05] <MrBushido> what app/config file determines the mountable drives that appear on your desktop/file manager? got a few windows drives cluttering the place up, but also a couple that i'd like to have available on linux
[11:05] <syr_> incidentally! having my android phone plugged in and set to "charge only" when the computer boots results in ubuntu failing to boot with "Error: Couldn't read file"
[11:05] <syr_> not a day-killer, but interesting.
[11:05] <Eagleman> Isnt there a backuptool around which can be run on top of apache so its way easier to change/setup things?
[11:05] <Eagleman> And yet easy to use
[11:06] <Eagleman> I've tried bacula but that was a bit to hard
[11:06] <dr_willis> syr_:  seen that with some bioss also.

[11:16] <John> I thought jails was a BSD thing, particularly a FreeBSD thing, but i don't know about Ubuntu
[11:16] <John> Do you mean chroot?
[11:16] <Eagleman> FSarchiver looks good
[11:16] <Rudeboy> is there something similar to this http://xrefresh.binaryage.com/ for ubuntu?

[11:18] <m3pow> if i want to do a fresh install of ubuntu(12.04.1) without regaining the old config from 12.04 because i see old settings here
[11:19] <dr_willis> a fresh install means to me. nothing ias left
[11:20] <m3pow> thing is it did
[11:20] <m3pow> i deleted the old partitions even, did new ones and stuff still is available now
[11:20] <cfhowlett> m3pow: in the /home partition?
[11:21] <m3pow> i should have formatted that one too /home?
[11:21] <m3pow> i formatted just /
[11:21] <m3pow> the root partition
[11:21] <cfhowlett> m3pow: if you have a dedicated /home and did NOT format it, all the user settings remain in each account's /home
[11:22] <m3pow> understood
[11:22] <m3pow> thank you for clearing my mind
[11:23] <m3pow> will get to work then
[11:23] <m3pow> cheers
[11:23] <cfhowlett> m3pow: glad I could help.  that said, I suggest you just create new accounts.  They'll be fresh with default settings.  As root, copy and paste your saved data or USB backup and restore.
[11:23] <johnm> m3pow: backup anything you might want to keep first ;)
[11:23] <m3pow> understood, thanks guys

[11:44] <billc> does anyone see me
[11:44] <dr_willis> yes.
[11:45] <dr_willis> clonezilla can backup to network devices and restore from them
[11:45] <Deutopia> Redo is a nice easy version of clonezilla

[11:46] <slawuta> Hello, my pdf file is printed without page numbers. They are visible on print preview. I treid Document Viewer and Okular (xubuntu 10.04)
[11:47] <slawuta> Paper size setting is correct (A4), in both printer settings and app settings.
[11:48] <billc> monkeydust that is my question i have 2 1/2 tb  of storage and have to use a memory stick for backup
[11:48] <cfhowlett> slawuta: using evince?  you might have to get adobe reader to render accurately.
[11:48] <billc> looking for clonezilla
[11:49] <slawuta> cfhowlett: No, I said "Document Viewer and Okular"
[11:49] <cfhowlett> slawuta: document viewer is evince in xubuntu...
[11:49] <slawuta> Hmm, thanks.
[11:50] <slawuta> Could printer margin settings be to blame ? I use non-standard footer and margin, lower than usual (in LaTeX file). Could printer setting override that ?
[11:51] <slawuta> Note that page numbers *are* visible in Print Preview.
[11:52] <Eagleman> Am i able to backup specific files with fsarchiver ? all i see are these 2 options: savefs and  savedir, with my current tar script i am making backups of both directories and files. When i want to do a complete backup i use clonezilla for a 1:1 copy.
[11:53] <dr_willis> you did check the fsarchiver homepage? i seem to recall it having examples of ussags.  fs=filesystem. so i dont think its a 'cp/rsync' type tool
[11:54] <Eagleman> it does
[11:55] <Eagleman> but at the manpage i can see options for backup up folders
[11:57] <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] <billc> i googled clonezilla it is way over my head currently i am using ubuntu for internet and everything else is in windows, due to being familiar.

[12:08] <t0ntin> twitchie, but I would like to install the "important updates" only. Will that install everything else, too?
[12:09] <blackshirt> t0ntin: use aptitude or synaptic

[12:11] <t0ntin> blackshirt, ok, i'll tri it.
[12:11] <twitchie> t0ntin: yes it will in stall all updates, as black said try using aptitude or synaptic but you will have to install it
[12:12] <bazhang> t0ntin, or simply rely on update manager
[12:12] <t0ntin> yes, doing it now. Thanks.
[12:13] <blackshirt> bazhang: aptitude was said has better resolver for dependencies problem.. if you familiar with it, that was a great tools... some problem can't be handle by apt-get, some time aptitude can solve them :D
[12:13] <bazhang> blackshirt, it no longer is
[12:13] <blackshirt> bazhang: maybe
[12:14] <t0ntin> bazhang, update manager is giving me an error that tells me to check my internet connection. It's happening since yesterday night.

[12:15] <bazhang> t0ntin, is this 12.04

[13:00] <usr13> recon_tv: Cups will more-than-likely find it for you.
[13:00] <Eagleman> Aha now i understand it T-One
[13:00] <Eagleman> TJ-
[13:01] <Eagleman> So basicly with an extra parameter it will do the same but not giving the warning right?
[13:01] <TJ-> Eagleman: Some non-GNU tar programs have problems with absolute paths
[13:01] <recon_tv> usr13: local host is my computer, not the network printer. and cups not finding anything
[13:01] <Knight-Rak>  APP like proteus for simulate avr arm and etc. ???
[13:01] <usr13> recon_tv: So what do you want us to do?
=== florin is now known as Guest33130
[13:02] <TJ-> Eagleman: so the default is to store relative paths. If the user wants to extract in the / directory they just ensure they use "-C /" or are in that directory when extracting
[13:02] <usr13> recon_tv: What kind of printer is it?
[13:02] <Eagleman> So how do i get rid of the warning when achieveing the same result
[13:02] <Knight-Rak> like proteus for simulate avr arm
[13:02] <mcatch> has anyone had luck getting ubuntu to work on a Sony Vaio S series laptop? I can't seem to dual boot it
[13:02] <Eagleman> not incuding the /

[13:03] <TJ-> Eagleman: redirect the errors to /dev/null maybe?
[13:03] <Eagleman> What is happening with the channel?
[13:03] <Pici> !netsplit | Eagleman
[13:03] <ubottu> Eagleman: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[13:03] <Eagleman> TJ- so you are saying: dont pay attention to the warning
[13:04] <usr13> recon_tv: In the resulting screen, (after clicking on "Add Printer), you should see it in the list.
[13:05] <new12> hi , how can i run .php files in server?
[13:05] <recon_tv> usr13: thats the problem, there are no results and i cant remember the IP address that the printer is setup on
[13:06] <usr13> recon_tv: Are you sure it is turned on?  Maybe turn the printer off and back on again to wake it up.  What kind of printer is it?
[13:06] <BluesKaj> recon_tv, is this a network printer or directly connected ?
[13:07] <usr13> recon_tv: make and model...
[13:08] <Layke> If I get... The authenticity of host 'github.com (207.97.227.239)' can't be established... RSA key fingerprint bla bla....
[13:08] <recon_tv> it a cannon pixma mp495, it was setup correctly, just cant remember the addres, can find it using nmap eather
[13:08] <Layke> Can I skip this message?
[13:08] <recon_tv> cant find it with nmap
[13:08] <Layke> Nevermind realised it's probably a git question more
[13:09] <new12> how to run php in ubuntu 10.04...can anybody give me info please?
[13:10] <usr13> recon_tv: Check the network cable on the printer, make sure it's a good one and is plugged in ok at both ends.  Also, do you have any other computers that use it?
[13:10] <recon_tv> usr13: it's a wireless printer

[13:11] <Kushtrim> Hello, does anybody know where I can find a network driver for Acer Travelmate 5744 ?
[13:11] <new12> # ubuntu forums
[13:12] <usr13> recon_tv: Oh, wireless.... Sorry.  Well, what I do on my LAN;  I use the router's configuration and set "static leases" to most all my computers and printers.  That way, I  know where everyhing is.  If I do not know, I just log into the router and see.
[13:12] <Eagleman> What is wrong with this line in my backup script, i can cd to the file using the link but it is failing when i am using it in my backup:   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml

[13:12] <Eagleman> : No such file or directory
[13:13] <usr13> recon_tv: Could be that the WiFi chip in the printer is turned off or no longer working.
[13:14] <recon_tv> usr13: unlikely, as it worked on my other computer before it broke (the computer not the printer), think i might have to find the driver and  install it on this computer
[13:16] <usr13> recon_tv: Login to your router and look at the client list.
[13:16] <m3pow> i just installed ubuntu 12.04.1 and i have an issue in the dock, if i highlight an icon i just get a big line where the name supposed to be. driver issue or smth?

[13:17] <rob_p> recon_tv: When you do, "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254" (assuming your network is 192.168.0.0/24), it doesn't show up in the list of hosts?
[13:17] <usr13> recon_tv: What happened to your other Computer?
[13:17] <slabgrha> echo " " | tar cvf foo.tar -
[13:17] <Eagleman> aha so i should use "
[13:17] <slabgrha> oh yeah, that

[13:17] <sgo11> hi, for creating a liveusb with startup disk creator or dd command, will the liveusb support persistent storage by default? for 12.04.1. thanks.
[13:18] <Eagleman> slabgrha i cant use this on my tar file:   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml
[13:18] <bkc_> sgo11: depends on how you set it up
[13:18] <sgo11> bkc_, ok. thanks for the reply. can you give me some more detail? t
[13:19] <Eagleman> Still not working
[13:19] <usr13> recon_tv: Do as rob_p suggested.  You should see your printer identified in the resulting list.  (Good suggestion rob_p.)
[13:19] <bkc_> sgo11: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent under "Portable Linux"
[13:19] <recon_tv> rob_p: only shows my computer on 176.61.119.122 and router on 192.168.1.1 , guess the printer is not trying
[13:20] <Eagleman> In what way should i use this:   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml    in a tar script?
[13:20] <rob_p> recon_tv: That means it's either not on the network, or it's blocking ICMP...
[13:20] <rob_p> recon_tv: Probably the former, I'd guess...
[13:20] <usr13> recon_tv: Did you try rebooting the printer?
[13:21] <sgo11> bkc_, Error 503 This content is temporarily unavailable because of a pending upgrade.
[13:21] <recon_tv> rob_p: thx, good to know the the nmap command i was using was correct

[13:21] <AR_> slabgrha, whats the problem
[13:21] <rob_p> recon_tv: Wait, why 2 different networks? 176.61... and 192.168...? That's not making sense...
[13:21] <bkc_> sgo11: also, some paths you'd wanna have on the persistant side... like /etc (for configs) and /var (for apt-db)
[13:21] <usr13> recon_tv: Did it get killed by a power surge?
[13:21] <recon_tv> going to give this printer a good smack and never buy another cheep inkjet
[13:21] <Eagleman> So slabgrha it is not working here
[13:22] <bkc_> sgo11: I'm reading it now... copied it to you 5seconds after it loaded :/
[13:22] <recon_tv> rob_p : typo
[13:22] <Eagleman> tar: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\\ Support/Plex\\ Media\\ Server/Plug-in\\ Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
[13:22] <sgo11> bkc_, I remembered the liveusb supports persistent storage by default. maybe my memory is incorrect. I remembered I did this test with ubuntu 11.10 last year.
[13:22] <slabgrha> Eagleman, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1214782/
[13:22] <recon_tv> rob_p: sry, two different networks?
[13:22] <sgo11> bkc_, thanks a lot. how can you read it? it's 503 error...
[13:22] <bkc_> sgo11: it did, but it's greyd out for some reason...
[13:22] <bkc_> sgo11: didn't follow the PL-link :/
[13:23] <slabgrha> Eagleman, my wireless connection is gonna go to pot in a few mins.. sorry
[13:23] <rob_p> recon_tv: Ok. Well then the printer is probably NOT participating on your network.
[13:23] <AR_> tar cvf shit.tar "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml"
[13:23] <AR_> use quotes bro it takes a string
[13:23] <slabgrha> yeah, that
[13:23] <Eagleman> aha
[13:23] <bkc_> sgo11: well, the instructions for manual usb-install is there below  :)
[13:24] <rob_p> recon_tv: Have you tried cycling the power on the printer and running the scan again after about a minute (to give the printer a chance to boot back up and get connected to the network)?
[13:24] <Eagleman>  Cannot stat/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml

[13:24] <recon_tv> tip, never buy a network printer that comes without a good led display, life is too short
[13:24] <slabgrha> derp
[13:25] <recon_tv> i mean lcd not led

[13:26] <slabgrha> O.o
[13:26] <Eagleman> Plex is made for the mac....
[13:26] <rob_p> recon_tv: If you want to get crazy, you could do a tcpdump on your local network interface while you reboot the printer, and see if you get it's solicitation packets...
[13:26] <Eagleman> Why put spaces in folders...
[13:27] <Eagleman> make your life a lot harder
[13:27] <rob_p> recon_tv: That way you can at least see if it's trying to participate on the network...
[13:27] <Eagleman> So what should i do now? i have no clue
[13:28] <rob_p> recon_tv: Anyway, there are a few things to try. Good luck... hope ya figure it out.

[13:31] <ozette> how
[13:31] <BluesKaj> ozette, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[13:31] <Eagleman> AR_ any idea what i could now to fix my tar backup script?
[13:31] <ozette> BluesKaj, no
[13:31] <AR_> Eagleman, whats wrong

[13:31] <ozette> BluesKaj, how will it help
[13:31] <sgo11> bkc_, I am running startup disk creator. I think it supports persistent storage function. it has the option "Stored in reserved extra space".
[13:31] <Eagleman> i will pastebin it

[13:33] <BluesKaj> ozette, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:33] <sgo11> bkc_, my another question is going to be... if the liveusb supports persistent storage, and if I install new packages and change wallpapers etc.., and then use this liveusb to install to harddisk, will the change be installed too? not sure if anyone tried this before or not.
[13:34] <AR_> Eagleman, any error?
[13:34] <Eagleman> Yes
[13:35] <AR_> what is it
[13:35] <GhosteN> Test
[13:35] <bkc_> sgo11: got me beat there... no idea as I havn't installed linux in that way before... usually just save the installed-list from the packagemanager and reinstall them after installation (good for going 64->32bit and vice verca) :)
[13:35] <Eagleman> AR_ http://pastebin.com/mGvuBYmW
[13:35] <ozette> BluesKaj, ok I see

[13:37] <BluesKaj> chamunks, how old ?
[13:37] <Eagleman> no AR_
[13:38] <AR_> wtf
[13:38] <chamunks> umm I would say maybe 5 years ish.
[13:38] <Eagleman> Well i am not sure
[13:38] <Eagleman> i imagebin it
[13:38] <chamunks> BluesKaj, its about 5 years and has probably a max of 1 gig of hdd and its likely a HP desktop

[13:39] <ubottu> chamunks: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04)
[13:39] <bkc_> chamunks: only 1gig hdd on a 5yo laptop? mines from 2005 and has 40gigs :/
[13:39] <TJ-> chamunks: I find Lubuntu is good on older notebooks from 10 years ago
[13:39] <BluesKaj> chamunks, my pc is 4 yrs old and runs kubuntu just fine , so ubuntu will probly run very well
[13:39] <twitchie> chamunks: I would go with 10.04
[13:39] <AR_> oh its just because its long Eagleman
[13:39] <AR_> for some reason its not finding it
[13:39] <sgo11> twitchie, 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] <chamunks> twitchie, oh thanks i was wondering why you were linking me a lts factoid :P
[13:40] <TJ-> chamunks: I have Lubuntu 12.04 on several Sony Vaio notebooks with 384MB of RAM
[13:40] <BluesKaj> chamunks, you mean 1G of Ram , right ?
[13:40] <Eagleman> Thats what is weird, i can find it with the same link
[13:40] <xangua> twitchie: 10.04 has only like 7 months of support left
[13:40] <chamunks> BluesKaj, yes 1 gig of ram sorry hah didnt mean to say hdd
[13:41] <AR_> Eagleman, try to do: stat "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Preferences/com.plexapp.agents.bierdopje.xml"
[13:41] <twitchie> sgo11: the changes to live you make will not apply to the fresh install of ubuntu to hdd, yes it will only do a fresh base install so you will have to reinstall the additional packages
[13:41] <Eagleman> AR_ i have removed the iptable entry it is is working
[13:41] <chamunks> TJ-, thanks I'll prepare two usb keys one with lubuntu and one with an lts of 64bit 12 04
[13:41] <AR_> oh
[13:41] <teek_> how do I edit file permissions if I'm not the owner? I am an administrator and have root access
[13:41] <m000gle> Does anyone knows of a way to edit the order of VPN's listed in the Network Connections app indicator? ... It seems to automatically/dynamically change the order based on which was most recently used, but having it ordered either alphabetically or manually would be preferable.
[13:41] <sgo11> twitchie, got it. thanks. :)
[13:41] <AR_> teek_, sudo chmod
[13:41] <Eagleman> No idea why it was conflicting with the plex line
[13:42] <Eagleman> the iptable entry did not exist yet
[13:42] <chamunks> twitchie, I'd be weary of running such an old release but you figure its going to run fairly well on a machine this old.

[13:42] <prashant_123456> have anyone tried linux from scratch ?
[13:42] <Eagleman> i will try moving /iptables/iptables.rules to something else
[13:42] <teek_> AR_ missing operand...could you tell me how the command is used or how to accomplish this via GUI?
[13:42] <TJ-> chamunks: For USB keys I install a 32-bit PAE on the key, then also install the 64-bit kernel... At boot, I can choose which kernel to use (depending on the system CPU) but use a single userspace
[13:42] <bkc_> prashant_123456: yes, about 3yo ago
[13:43] <chamunks> TJ-, PAE?
[13:43] <AR_> teek_, sudo chmod --help
[13:43] <BluesKaj> chamunks, of course it matters what you intend to run on the pc but 1G Ram is adequate for normal surfing , video , data and video as long as you don't have too much stuff going on simultaneously
[13:43] <AR_> teek what do you want the permissions to be
[13:43] <bkc_> prashant_123456: also, not related to ubuntu-support, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:43] <prashant_123456> bkc_, ok thanks
[13:43] <teek_> I want to be able to open it.
[13:43] <chamunks> BluesKaj, its for my cousins fairly computer illiterate crazy girlfriend.
[13:43] <TJ-> chamunks: Processor Address Extensions ... the shipped Ubuntu 32-bit kernels now come with PAE by default so even a 32-bit kernel can address more than 4GB of RAM
[13:44] <chamunks> BluesKaj, the more spoon feeding the os gives her the better
[13:44] <bkc_> prashant_123456: I can tell you this... it's not at all hard if you've used linux professionaly for 4years, but it's a royal pain...
[13:44] <Eagleman> AR_ i moved /iptables/iptables.rules to the beginning and now it is working how it should, it is saying: tar: /iptables/iptables.rules: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
[13:44] <chamunks> TJ-, fair enough thats helpful im guessing pae is to address the fork between 64bit chips and the intel multicore stuff.
[13:45] <twitchie> chamunks: linux it's self does not take much resources it's only the X / Window manager .. you could run 12.04 with a light weight window manager like blackbox or xfce
[13:45] <drbytes_ca> Does anyone have a good guide for installing PHP5.3.17 onto lucid?  I have 5.3.2 on it now, and have added what I think is the proper respositories, but am getting a libssl error trying to apt-get install php5.
[13:45] <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/bits
[13:45] <chamunks> twitchie, 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.
[13:46] <AR_> teek_, sudo chmod u+r filename
[13:46] <chamunks> TJ-, fair enough
[13:46] <teek_> thank you
[13:46] <BluesKaj> chamunks, you'll probly need to spoonfeed for a short while , as long as you set it up to make it easy, but going from windows or mac to ubuntu is quite a change in terms of desktop learning and adapting
[13:47] <chamunks> BluesKaj, it would be so awesome if someone we're to make a youtube video series that just covers ultra basics and than snapped that into some ubuntu "Noobstation" app
[13:47] <fantaghir> can anybody tell me why sometimes Ubuntu 12.04 shows the list of wireless networks after clicking on the notification icon but sometimes it doesnt
[13:48] <m3pow> i just installed ubuntu 12.04.1 and i have an issue in the dock, if i highlight an icon i just get a big line where the name supposed to be. driver issue or smth?
[13:48] <BluesKaj> chamunks, actaully kde is closer visually to windows , it's more familiar looking then gnome or unity
[13:49] <BluesKaj> than
[13:50] <chamunks> BluesKaj, yeah fair enough.  I was going through a bad phase of linux mint... I had installed mint on her machine thinking because I had one good experience with it over ubuntu when some package was for some reason broken in the repos.
[13:50] <fantaghir> somebody?
[13:50]  * BluesKaj is aconverted  old windows guy
[13:50] <chamunks> so that was my first mistake
[13:51] <fantaghir> can anybody tell me why sometimes Ubuntu 12.04 shows the list of wireless networks after clicking on the notification icon but sometimes it doesnt??
[13:51] <chamunks> BluesKaj, but at this point the lts version is looking great and working very smoothly on my desktop.  I wish graphics support were to improve but i guess that I can wait another two releases or so for my dual saphire radeon hd 6850's to be supported.
[13:51] <BluesKaj> chamunks, I can't comment on mint , since I've never used it ,
[13:52] <chamunks> BluesKaj, its a nice ui their mint menu is really the biggest difference.
[13:52] <chamunks> but unity is starting to pull off what most of mint does anyways.
[13:52] <BluesKaj> yeah , chamunks ubuntu is a bit behind the curve with ATI drivers atm
[13:53] <usr13> fantaghir: I could only venture a guess, but maybe it's sometimes between scans.
[13:53] <chamunks> BluesKaj, it recognizes that I have two cards but thats as far as it goes.
[13:54] <chamunks> I have dual monitors setup to top it all off also
[13:54] <chamunks> so im just glad that I've got my dual screens online for now but it would be nice to get the power increase of having the second card.
[13:55] <BluesKaj> chamunks, I tried unity /gnome3 etc , ..just not my cuppa tea,  KDE suits my taste best
[13:55] <chamunks> anyone know the default web directory that zoneminder installs itself to on 12.04?
[13:55] <fantaghir> usr13, thx for advice, so network manager might be solution to this problem I think
[13:55] <chamunks> BluesKaj, I've always found kde just a bit less stable.  I really like where gnome3 is going myself.
[13:55] <chamunks> it would be nice if the built in screen recording was a bit more configgable though.
[13:57] <BluesKaj> chamunks, yeah in some setups . kde takes a bit more configuring , but the results are gratifying when we get it right
[13:57] <ozette> BluesKaj, I didn't have problems in Firefox
[13:57] <chamunks> yeah i'm a big fan of zeroconf.
[13:57] <ozette> BluesKaj, so, isn't that odd?
[13:58] <chamunks> BluesKaj, ideally if i could script my mods or something but thats not reliable.
[13:59] <BluesKaj> ozette, in some cases chrome/chromium has trouble on websites heavy with java and flash , that why i run FF now

[14:18] <vinceableworld> I will investigate teamspeak... who are the developers are they reputable?
[14:18] <|Anthony|> alusion, you have to set up the ssh server on the work machine first
[14:18] <dn4> yep I don't want to do that hahaha
[14:19] <chamunks> vinceableworld, is there some reason to not use Mumble?
[14:19] <alusion> |Anthony|, do you know of the command
[14:19] <chamunks> I wasnt paying attention but I just hate teamspeak so i try to understand it when someone decides to use it.
[14:19] <|Anthony|> alusion, what os is on the work machine?
[14:20] <dn4> thank you though |Anthony|  for the advice
[14:20]  * |Anthony| nods
[14:20] <alusion> the one I want to SSH to is ubuntu 12.04 but the one I am ssh'ing from is an android tablet

[14:21] <|Anthony|> alusion, here is a quick howto: http://www.ubuntututorials.com/enable-ssh-ubuntu-12-04/
[14:22] <chamunks> vinceableworld, mumble is fantastic and is end to end encrypted and does automatic volume leveling.
[14:22] <|Anthony|> alusion, but you should do some further configuration imo
=== gzkline is now known as AR_
[14:23] <rgenito_> sooo i have this folder that i cannot delete @_@ it was a folder that was an sshfs mount, and the server disconnected
[14:23] <chamunks> vinceableworld, and best of all I've never had any trouble making it connect nor have I had to spoonfeed anyone on how to run it.
[14:23] <rgenito_> http://pastie.org/private/7pbk7pplxjuapggxtog9ta
[14:23] <rgenito_> any ideas on how to remove that folder?
[14:23] <vinceableworld> IC...
[14:23] <vinceableworld> Is mumble cross platform?
[14:23] <alusion> |Anthony|,  when editing the configuration files, what are some safety configurations I should be aware of?
[14:23] <chamunks> vinceableworld, it works on everything from android to mac
[14:23] <vinceableworld> Eagle u ever use mumble?
[14:24] <vinceableworld> Thanks for all the input guys/gals
[14:24] <Eagleman> no, teamspeak has way more options
[14:24] <TJ-> rgenito_: firstly, "fusermount -uz <mountpoint>" may drop the mount so you can delete the directory once the mount has gone
[14:24] <vinceableworld> How would you compare teamspeak to skype?
[14:24] <vinceableworld> or mumble to skype?
[14:24] <vinceableworld> besides the obvious (owned by microcrap)
[14:25] <Eagleman> skype is p2p and mumble and teamseak are used with a server
[14:25] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, teamspeak, you can predict the path
[14:25] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, teamspeak is client -> server <- client
[14:25] <Eagleman> way better voice quality
[14:25] <vinceableworld> Which means what exactly?
[14:25] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, skype, is P2P, with quite random routing
[14:25] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, which means communications arent truly secure.
[14:25] <rgenito_> heh
[14:25] <TheLordOfTime> s/truly/as/
[14:25] <vinceableworld> Well anything going thru a server isn't exactly all that secure?
[14:26] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, i wrote a security opinion on skype, your communications between you and your friend could be routed through, say, China
[14:26] <rgenito_> TJ- thanks :)
[14:26] <vinceableworld> ic...
[14:26] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, in TeamSpeak, its routed through that server, but its not directly P2P
[14:26] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, so rather than going through a node in, say, China, the node *is* the server
[14:26] <vinceableworld> comprehend.
[14:26] <Eagleman> isnt the node automaticly picked in skype
[14:26] <TheLordOfTime> Eagleman, mhm
[14:26] <TheLordOfTime> Eagleman, and you can't define the route
[14:26] <Eagleman> some one in the chatbox is the node
[14:26] <Eagleman> or server
[14:27] <TheLordOfTime> Eagleman, no, there's megamodes and supernodes
[14:27] <TheLordOfTime> around the world
[14:27] <vinceableworld> okay so teamspeak is downloaded... just click on the file .run ?
[14:27] <TheLordOfTime> Eagleman, i'm not going to explain stuff ;P
[14:27] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, you'll need a server to connect to, but generally yes.
[14:27] <TheLordOfTime> vinceableworld, if you don't have a server, its a moot point
[14:27] <rgenito_> i have another directory i cannot delete... ~/.gvfs , does anyone know what this directory is? i only ask because i dont remember ever making it :)
[14:27] <k1l> vinceableworld: ts 3 client?
[14:27] <rgenito_> (and this is a new system)
[14:27] <vinceableworld> Yes ts3
[14:27] <GambitoAg> Buenas
[14:28] <Eagleman> the server is easy to install on ubuntu

[14:28] <k1l> vinceableworld: make it executable. then run it
[14:28] <vinceableworld> Don't know how to do that... sorry... I double clicked on that and I got a window (gedit) with a blank screen
[14:29] <|Anthony|> alusion, one moment

[15:02] <jrib> uberhonky: run it with & and then minimize the window?
[15:02] <ougogo> Hi all. In fact, I put lubuntu 12 via Universal-USB-Installer on my usb key I boot, and during installation, everything is stuck at "Hardware detection. Please wait ...". An idea?

[15:03] <|Anthony|> why does lightdm automatically use -sharevts and -novtswitch when it launches X
[15:03] <jrib> uberhonky: you can do that with "& disown", or use nohup, or use screen or tmux, but how would you resume the gui window later?
[15:03] <epinky> TJ-: thank you
[15:04] <uberhonky> jrib: thats a good question, and part of what i am trying to figure out!
[15:04] <jrib> uberhonky: I'm actually not sure what happens if you do that with a remote X app like that
[15:05] <L3top> several things list under none... /dev  /dev/shm /var/run /var/lock  /lib/init/rw and its size, here is 1.7GB.
[15:05] <uberhonky> does screen and tmux work with X11?
=== sec is now known as xzy
[15:05] <jrib> uberhonky: check out xpra.  I've never used it though.  You can't run the app solely in a text terminal?  The other option is using vnc to connect to a session on the remote system I guess.  There may be a better way, but I'm not familiar with it.
[15:06] <uberhonky> unfortunately i don't administer the remote machine, so VNC is out of the question
[15:06] <uberhonky> i will check out xpra
[15:06] <uberhonky> there must be some built in job control mechanism for suspending forwarded x session to the BG without killing them
[15:06] <uberhonky> or so i hope
[15:07] <uberhonky> i will look into your suggestions
[15:07] <jrib> uberhonky: xpra /should/ do what you asked
[15:07] <uberhonky> yea, this looks like what i need
[15:07] <uberhonky> thanks
[15:08] <TJ-> uberhonky: nomachine (NX) does that, because it deploys a proxy either side of the connection

[15:12] <Pici> L3top: Those filesystems aren't mounted from specific devices.  They're mostly interfaces to the kernel in some way.

[15:14] <josy1982> it's a noname computer
[15:14] <seednode> Do you know what GPU it uses?
[15:14] <seednode> Integrated, etc?
[15:14] <Frosty2> hi josy i have had that same issue once before .. You need to get a hold of the company that makes your computer to find out what the restore defualts buttons are . This can save you loads of cash on reinstalling windows or other programs. keep in mind you might lose everything

[15:16] <josy1982> no its a amd radeon 6670

[15:18] <josy1982> yes i try nomodeset and acpi off and some other but don't works i try just to see if my computer is ok windows works without any problems but i want ubuntu not windows
[15:19] <josy1982> so i don't know what is the problem
[15:19] <Frosty2> ohhh..your windows programe works than just reinstall ubuntu with wubi. sometimes you might have to use a disk because windows can be a pain sometimes
[15:19] <Frosty2> (am not a fan of windows)..lol
[15:21] <Frosty2> please forgive my spelling and grammer. I am being rather careless
[15:21] <BluesKaj> Frosty2, why are you recommending wubi , it's not a solution
[15:21] <zauberparacelsus> I'm trying to disable Ubuntu's keyring system, and I'm supposed to go to Accessories->Passwords and Encryption, but that entry doesn't exist.  It doesn't exist under System->Preferences or System->Administration either.
[15:22] <dr_willis> zauberparacelsus:  the programs name is 'seahorse' i belive
[15:22] <zauberparacelsus> dr_willis: thanks
[15:22] <Frosty2> because wubi is what is used to install ubuntu from windows rather on disc or patristioning.
[15:23] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has some info on the keyring. i do t see any need to disable it. you can set a blank password to the keyring
[15:23] <Frosty2> thats why i am recomending it. if it was not installed correctly like i have done so many times before . files can be missing that are needed to run ubuntu
[15:24] <BluesKaj> !dual boot > josy1982
[15:24] <ubottu> josy1982, please see my private message

[15:29] <dr_willis> connd:  the unity left side panel?
[15:31] <connd> dr_willis, I want to add icon to panel like "Sound" , "network" etc. I think there is a panel configuration file where i can customize the panel globally
[15:32] <dr_willis> connd:  not that  iver heard of. you may want     to look into 'quicklists'   that may let you put custome items on the right click menu over the settings icon for specific confit dialogs
[15:32] <BluesKaj> connd,  add a launcher , if that's available on unity
[15:33] <dr_willis> you can make custom launches. but im not sure if all the   system config items have sttand alone binaries
[15:34] <k1l> connd: we are talking about unity?
[15:34] <Praxi> so my boss gave me a bunch of video's taken at a conference.  They are all 2.1GBS MTS files.  I need to snip them apart and combine them to get the video's in order, it looks like the camera they used just auto split everything when file size reached 2.1gbs.  Can someone recommend a good program to use?  I have tried openshot, but I seem to have problems with the video preview, its always out of sync
[15:34] <k1l> connd: if so you should take a look at indicators
[15:37] <Promille> Praxi: Im not sure, but maby it could work with ffmpeg, which is cli (or even better a GUI like WinFF). I dont have it right now, so can't check
[15:38] <Promille> Praxi: or maby handbrake? Very good program, but only guessing it works for MTS files
[15:38] <dr_willis> Praxi:  theres like 4 gui video editors out. and many converters.  for video eidotr i think theres openshot, kino, that one by the vlc guys , and pititv  i think

[15:39] <Praxi> lol winff is not a name I expected to hear in a ubuntu channel think you broke me!
[15:39] <dr_willis> winff uses ffmpeg..
[15:39] <Promille> Praxi: hehe its just a GUI for ffmpeg. pretty good actually
[15:39] <dr_willis> its more of a converter app not an editor
[15:39] <prashant_123456> i want to build a ubuntu kernel which only boots in cli mode
[15:39] <miraj> aguitel : sounds like you have no option for usb boot
[15:39] <Praxi> any experience with any of them dr_willis?  I have 40 gigs of videos to convert to dvd and 6 hours before I go on vacation lol
[15:40] <dr_willis> !text | prashant_123456
[15:40] <ubottu> prashant_123456: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode
[15:40] <aguitel> miraj, yes
[15:40] <miraj> aguitel : so you won't be booting from usb
[15:40] <dr_willis> Praxi:  convert to what.. it may takee hours to just convert with no editing
[15:41] <bazhang> Praxi, why not use handbrake. you can queue all of them up, start it, and it does the rest
[15:41] <Praxi> will check it out bazhang
[15:41] <prashant_123456> dr_willis, runlevel ?
[15:41] <Promille> its a nice program! handbrake
[15:41] <bazhang> Praxi, from a PPA or handbrake.fr

[15:41] <dr_willis> !runlevel | prashant_123456
[15:41] <ubottu> prashant_123456: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.

[15:43] <Praxi> dr_willis, I think so?  not normally something I deal with.  But the first part is combining the pieces and snipping off the rest
[15:43] <dr_willis> devede is a little awkward to use. but handy
[15:43] <miraj> aguitel : You might be able to boot into GRUB from cd or harddrive and then have it transfer control to the usb?
[15:43] <Praxi> looking up handbrake now
[15:44] <dr_willis> Praxi:  converting to  mpeg2 may save time now. but more disk space needed
[15:44] <aguitel> miraj, how do that
[15:45] <miraj> aguitel : You'd have to install GRUB to the harddrive
[15:45] <dr_willis> then you edit with kino, or  openshot, removeing what you dont want till you get a big video.
[15:45] <dr_willis> Praxi:  then use devede to make the video into a dvd iso you burn

[16:47] <Lint01> site must be really happy to have an admin who needs irc to connect to a database...
[16:47] <rgenito_> i believe i am having an issue with my wireless connection that is really pissing me off... :D
[16:47] <rgenito_> this happens on wireless at home, in the office, etc
[16:47] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, are you paying attention or are you just going to keep complaining
[16:47] <rgenito_> i've noticed... my internet connection goes down exactly every 30 minutes
[16:47] <rgenito_> ...and then the connection resumes 5 minutes later.
[16:47] <rgenito_> does anyone know where i can start looking to investigate this issue?
[16:47] <MASTERPIECE> BluesKaj,  tell me
[16:48] <deadmund> rgenito_: just a guess.  the DHCP client address lease time?
[16:48] <MASTERPIECE> what to make ?
[16:48] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE,open a terminal , sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras . then, sudo apt-get update:sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:48] <Evil[1]> Hmmm... some Mint users here? I'm onto doing a fresh install... but can't decide between MATE or Cinnamon... any recommendations?
[16:48] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, that will install adobe flash on your system

[16:49] <ubottu> Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[16:49] <Evil[1]> nice nice nice :-D
[16:49] <rgenito_> deadmund, that's my guess too
[16:50] <deadmund> rgenito_: so change it :)
[16:50] <EsoRotica> Hello, I'm haing some issues with system hangs that I cant figure out. I've look through many logs and I cant seem to see anything. I would appreciate if anyone has some suggestions of what to check?
[16:50] <rgenito_> deadmund, is that a setting i can change on here? if so, where do i begin to look? ;D
[16:50] <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 this
[16:50] <deadmund> rgenito_: 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] <deadmund> rgenito_: note: I am assuming you have a router and a dhcp server running on it
[16:51] <vientosolar> Lint01 What Can I do? Do you know?
[16:51] <rgenito_> deadmund, yes, i'm assuming that is the case at the office... however at my personal office and at my house this same thing happens @_@ i think? :D
[16:51] <deadmund> rgenito_: oh really... that changes everything.  Do you have a /etc/dhcp/  or something similar?
[16:51] <MASTERPIECE> BluesKaj,    you are the best
[16:51] <MASTERPIECE> :*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
[16:51] <deadmund> wow
[16:51] <MASTERPIECE> thank you
[16:51] <rgenito_> deadmund, yes, i do have a /etc/dhcp folder
[16:51] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, you're welcome
[16:52] <deadmund> BluesKaj: I'm impressed.  He obvs does not speak english.
[16:52] <deadmund> rgenito_: IS there some dhcp.conf folder in it?
[16:52] <Lint01> vientosolar, remove everything libreoffice and reinstall from official repository or tarball
[16:52] <BluesKaj> deadmund, I had a hard time getting his attention , mostly :)
[16:52] <rgenito_> yes, i am looking at /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf right now... i see some lease settings, although those are commented out :D
[16:52] <deadmund> haha
[16:53] <deadmund> rgenito_: yeah... try uncommenting and setting one.  Perhaps the issue is in the wifi driver but changing this setting will fix the problem.
[16:53] <vientosolar> Lint01 I already did "sudo apt-get remove libreoffice".. I need to do a purge?
[16:53] <rgenito_> deadmund, ya i think it might be the driver too. before i updated ubuntu ... i had issues about every 5-10 minutes with my internet connection on this thing!
[16:53] <rgenito_> now it's exactly every 30 :D
[16:53] <deadmund> haha
[16:53] <deadmund> steady improvement!
[16:53] <skypce> hello , can you helpme please, i have a compaq presario 126-la , my problem is when the pc has a time in inactivity and i back to use it  the mouse of trackpad and mouse external have lag , a slowly mouse movement
[16:53] <EsoRotica> since we are on topic with flash, I think I have a problem as well.
[16:54] <EsoRotica> From time to time chrome will crash when I open a youtube video
[16:54] <Lint01> vientosolar, you should have no libreoffice or uno packages
[16:54] <rgenito_> deadmund, so ima see how this uncommenting helps ;)
[16:54] <EsoRotica> I think i have both gnash and something else installed.
[16:54] <deadmund> rgenito_: good luck
[16:54] <MASTERPIECE> BluesKaj,      how to install   real drivers for my video card
[16:54] <EsoRotica> uh oh.
[16:55] <deadmund> ominous drum beat...
[16:56] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, what is your video card ?
[16:56] <maplesoft> wN:  ok. how to check what ports are opened in open-pages.com to see if mysql is listening to 3306?
[16:56] <MASTERPIECE> geforce 520 m
[16:56] <vientosolar> Lint01 "El paquete libreoffice no está instalado, no se eliminará" It says "Libreoffice package isn't installed and it won't eliminate"

[16:57] <EsoRotica> Anyone available to help with devistating system hangs ? I've check through logs, Memtest86, no clie still
[16:57] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, look in restricted/additional drivers
[16:57] <MASTERPIECE> and and cant to play
[16:57] <maplesoft> deadmund:  thx
[16:57] <deadmund> maplesoft: it might be -P  can't remember
[16:57] <wN> its -p
[16:57] <deadmund> EsoRotica: are you running the ath5k driver?
[16:57] <Lint01> vientosolar, now do you want to install a version from repository or custom one from their site?
[16:57] <MASTERPIECE> where is  restricted/additional driver
[16:57] <wN> maplesoft: i usually run a full scan to amek sure i can see *something*: nmap -T4 open-pages.com
[16:58] <Lint01> oh dear we got ourselves a hacker
[16:58] <maplesoft> wN:  whats T4?
[16:58] <deadmund> 4gen terminator
[16:58] <skypce> hello , can you helpme please, i have a compaq presario 126-la , my problem is when the pc has a time in inactivity and i back to use it  the mouse of trackpad and mouse external have lag , a slow mouse movement
[16:58] <wN> maplesoft: timing
[16:58] <BluesKaj> MASTERPIECE, or , open a terminal , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then reboot
[16:59] <rgenito_> w00t i think i disconnected mahself :D
[16:59] <vientosolar> Lint01 Yes, I want, but I couldnt neither Terminal or Software Center.
[16:59] <rgenito_> nevermind
[16:59] <maplesoft> wN:  PORT     STATE  SERVICE

[16:59] <deadmund> maplesoft: it's closed
[16:59] <deadmund> EsoRotica: Yep! :)  Or lspci -k  (under the wifi card)
[16:59] <rgenito_> deadmund, i have no idea if this is going to help :)
[16:59] <maplesoft> deadmund:  why so. because of firewall?
[16:59] <deadmund> rgenito_: me either
[17:00] <rgenito_> any other MASTUHZ of dhclient in here? :D
[17:00] <wN> [root@jack-server ~]# netstat -tunap | grep 3306

[17:00] <wN> maplesoft: ^ try that
[17:00] <Lint01> vientosolar, do you have any additional repositories enabled?
[17:00] <deadmund> maplesoft: Either a firewall or the mysql server is not listening for incoming connections on that port
[17:00] <EsoRotica> deadmund, negatory
[17:00] <vientosolar> Lint01 I dont know, how may I check?
[17:00] <wN> maplesoft: on the server of course
[17:00] <EsoRotica> ls -lat
[17:01] <deadmund> EsoRotica: Then the problem (if this ISN'T a kernel panic) is probably hardware.  Try running the computing with various hardware things not connected and see if it freezes.
[17:01] <deadmund> EsoRotica: Things to try harddrive, PCI cards.  You already tried the ram
[17:01] <deadmund> EsoRotica: memtest proved that works
[17:01] <EsoRotica> deadmund, if it were a kernel panic, it would be in kern.log or syslog?
[17:01] <Lint01> vientosolar, have no idea how to do that in ubuntu, but someone here certainly knows
[17:01] <deadmund> EsoRotica: yes, and you'd see a kernel dump on the screen and the keyboard lights would be blinking
[17:01] <deadmund> EsoRotica: It is like christmas time
[17:02] <EsoRotica> deadmund, I have had a few segfaults in the last few days. they just dont report every time
[17:02] <SilfenX> join #networking
[17:02] <vientosolar> Lint01 OK ;)
[17:03] <EsoRotica> deadmund, also, there seems to be some other error along the lines of "sp1500 timer in use at address XXX"
[17:03] <maplesoft> wN:  deadmund $ netstat -tunap | grep 3306
[17:03] <maplesoft> (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
[17:03] <maplesoft> tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:3306          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[17:03] <deadmund> EsoRotica: segfaults can be caused by lousy programming or lousy ram.  If the ram passed memtest then it is lousy programming.  Perhaps it is a different driver (besides ath5k) that is freezing the system.
[17:03] <Scunizi> when running update, upgrade, dist-upgrade Apt reports that libexttextcat-data is being held back for upgrade.. how do I fix this?
[17:03] <wN> maplesoft: what does your my.cfg say? pastebin it
[17:03] <EsoRotica> deadmund, none other than flgrx im sure. however the issues are new and that has been working for some time now.
[17:04] <deadmund> EsoRotica: I'm not sure then :)
[17:04] <deadmund> EsoRotica: You can try radeon if you want.
[17:04] <maplesoft> wN:  where is mycfg?
[17:04] <EsoRotica> deadmund, X always comes up properly with the correct layout and settings.
[17:04] <dream> please, guys! is anybody worked in cuckoo sandbox?
[17:05] <MASTERPIECE> BluesKaj,  same problem

[17:43] <zanberdo> question: is there a way to query apt for the reason why a package may be kept back? I know how to update them but I'd like to know why they are being held.

[17:45] <mbeierl> Is there a udev or other event mechanism that can be used to call a script when an external monitor is plugged in?  Using xubuntu 12.04?
=== florin is now known as Guest58441
[17:46] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, right, no, I'm sorry, I was unclear. I get that it's usually something of that sort, but what I'm looking for is a simply way to verify exactly why a package is being held.  I think apt-cache policy might be helpful though ... just wondered if anyone else has found a simply way to query for the 'why' for specific packages.
[17:46] <usr13> mariyan_: No. There are GUI front ends.

[17:49] <usr13> mariyan_: What do you want to install or uninstall?
[17:49] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, I'm using apt-get -V dist-upgrade when I run into held packages - this at least shows me the dependencies that are effected.  I'd be kind of nice though to be able to ask "hey, why exactly are you being held back?".  I suppose it's not critical.  I've been used to using aptitude but since aptitude is now frowned upon and being phased out, I'd thought I'd better get familiar with the various apt-n commands again.
[17:49] <usr13> mariyan_: Why would you remove and install again>?

[17:53] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, which, moving back to apt-x or trying to get apt to tell me why? :)  Honestly, the issue I think I'm more concerned about is: that since I haven't used apt-get dist-upgrade in a very long time and since at the time it was used to upgrade from one distro to another, I am a little leery of arbitrarily issuing a dist-upgrade.  I get that so long as my repos haven't changed I should be fine.  still and all, dist-upgrad

[17:56] <zanberdo> usr13, thanks. yes, I get that's how it's done now.  Back in the day though when one wanted to upgrade distros part of the procedure was to alter sources.list with the new distro (say changing dapper to edgy) then issue the dist-upgrade.

[18:52] <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.
[18:53] <Lasivian> screw 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] <Lasivian> at least I know what is likely to happen, right? heh
[18:54] <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.

=== romy420 is now known as coinandable
[18:59] <B0g4r7_> It seems to be saying it's rated up to 90C.
[18:59] <B0g4r7_> I regularly run my GPUs up to 80C.
[18:59] <firesofmay> Hi, 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] <Lasivian> I was running 10.04 anyway, that probably won;t be supported much longer
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> I'm wondering if I can change the threshold in software somewhere.
[19:00] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: 90C should refer to a virtual core temperature, which is computed, not measured directly
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> That and also the behavior of popping up the dialog continuously is broken.
[19:00] <krababbel> it is probably hardwired to protect the cpu
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> Well something in Gnome is triggering this box to pop up.
[19:00] <Lasivian> yeah, april 2013, time to update
[19:01] <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] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: usually it will throttle the cpu, and even shut down if needed, yes

[20:28] <subcool> llutz, no go
[20:28] <babilen> I've just witnessed very high CPU usage on a wubi installed system caused by mount.ntfs -- The system has been upgraded to precise from maverick AFAIK and generally shows abysmal performance. I am not that well versed in the technical details of wubi, but I recommended a complete new install of either precise or Debian. Can you think of a better way to deal with this?
[20:29] <drecute> TJ-: you mean path to mcollective?
[20:29] <babilen> I could dig into the BTS to find applicable bug reports, but wanted to ask if this is a known thing first
[20:29] <TJ-> drecute: no, the environment path for the root user at that point do "echo $PATH"
[20:29] <subcool> upon boot, i am pushed directly to terminal. i see a bunch of /user/libupdate path errors
[20:30] <drecute> TJ-: I have: PATH="/opt/emperor/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle/bin"
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> babilen: did you upgrade to Natty and then to Oneiric in between?
[20:30] <pefi> Hi! I have a problem with touchpad. It started about a month ago, after an upgrade. The touchpad works, scrolling works, but active area of the pad doesn't match physical size. There is a non-active stripe on right side, where I used to have scroll area. I tried to tweak xconf settings, but no luck.  Some info (kernel and dmesg | grep -I pad). Any ideas how to fix it?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> pefi: you may need to define the area in an xorg.conf
[20:31] <bekks> BEC: Did you format your home partition (if you had one) while reinstalling Ubuntu?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> babilen: or did you upgrade direct from Maverick to Precise
[20:31] <babilen> ActionParsnip: It is not my system, but I could clarify that. I had the impression that it was upgraded directly from 10.04 (sorry, that should have been lucid) -- Essentially the last LTS release.
[20:32] <tty01> anyone have pxeboot configured?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: maverick is 10.10, not 10.04. Did you upgrade from 10.04 (lucid) to 12.04 directly?
[20:32] <sirspazzolot> would anybody be able to check the prices of a caddy/drive at system76 for me?
[20:32] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Just clarified: It was Lucid -> Precise.
[20:32] <drecute> TJ-:  could it be that I can't have mco client and mco server on the same machine?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: ggood, thats fine :)
[20:32] <BEC> bekks: I did after I backed it up (was deleting some folders & files i no longer need; hope i didn't mess it up!). what should I look for?
[20:32]  * pefi trying to tweak xorg .conf again...
[20:32] <TJ-> drecute: OK. That looks a but messed up since several entries are repeated, but the location of mc-ping is there (/usr/sbin/) so now find out if it can be found on the path by doing "which pc-ping"
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: what video chip do you use?
[20:33] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know. Sorry for the confusion. Are you aware of many problems like that with wubi installed systems?
[20:33] <bekks> BEC: You should look for your key files then, in your backup.
[20:33] <BEC> bekks: .asc ?
[20:33] <bekks> BEC: .asc is just your ascii fingerprint.
[20:34] <BEC> where do i find them?

=== Youri is now known as YBook
[20:35] <TJ-> subcool: Uhoh!
[20:35] <babilen> ActionParsnip: I have no idea -- One of my roomates just asked me to take a look at her machine and I couldn't help her much as I am not that familiar with wubi installations. All I could soo was an awful lot of I/O caused by mount.ntfs and a very high system load (>5) for a laptop.
[20:35] <arterrious> so i have a fresh install of 12.04 and alsamixer isn't muted any ideas why my sound isn't working?
[20:36] <bekks> BEC: By default, gpg stores its keys in ~/.gnupg/
[20:36] <BEC> found it
[20:36] <BEC> bekks: found it :D now what?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> babilen: boot to windows and run a scandisk and defrag
[20:36] <subcool> TJ-, yea- bad.. llutz helped me fix a bunch of it- appears my fstab didnt save, and i forgot to update the new swap file. But now im hving major issue logging in. When i get to where im supposed to login- i get kicked back to terminal.
[20:36] <TJ-> drecute: That "/opt/emperor/bin" looks unusual - and that is first in the search order
[20:36] <bekks> BEC: Did you search in your backup?
[20:37] <BEC> yeh; found .gnupg
[20:37] <subcool> TJ-, and i see a bunch of /usr/lib/update path errors when i do log in to my user...
[20:37] <babilen> ActionParsnip: So this is a rather atypical case and you don't have many people coming here with symptoms like that? I can happily come up with a couple of relevant bug reports ... I suggested to perform a real Ubuntu (or Debian) installation, but wanted to ask first.
[20:37] <TJ-> subcool: You mean, for a GUI log-in, or just a standard console ?
[20:37] <Kishi> Does 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 OS
[20:37] <subcool> TJ-, kinda both? - im not given the chance to gui- log in- and then i also receive those errors i just mentioned when logging into terminal
[20:37] <bekks> BEC: Then copy them backup to your ~/.gnupg/
[20:37] <SilfenX> Kishi: thats what you get when you have too many bells and whistles and switches and leavers
[20:37] <TJ-> subcool: Are you able to boot into a recovery environment from GRUB ?
[20:38] <babilen> ActionParsnip: 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] <ActionParsnip> babilen: `wubi is installed to a file on your NTFS, if the file system is inconsistant then it directly affects ubuntu.
[20:38] <Kishi> SilfenX: What was that supposed to mean?
[20:38] <subcool> TJ-, 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..
=== matt_ is now known as Guest98769
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> babilen: yes I'd go for a clean install of precise. fixes a lot of things. I think wubi is a nasty idea
[20:38] <babilen> ActionParsnip: 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.
[20:39] <TJ-> subcool: Using recovery, you are 'root' all the time, you shouldn't need to log-in as a user whilst you fix the system
[20:39] <SilfenX> Kishi: that linux still is for tech geeks and tinkers
[20:39] <babilen> ActionParsnip: 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] <BEC> bekks: 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"
[20:40] <Kishi> SilfenX: I am aware. I hoped to find those geeks here, though.
[20:40] <bekks> BEC: When overwriting files, the overwritten file content is lost. Thats what happens when overwriting files. :)
[20:40] <retrorex> hey can I use e2fsck on linux to check for errors in windows partition
[20:40] <bekks> No.
[20:40] <p1l0t> So 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] <Kishi> So I could get help with some issues  until I'm educated well enough to solve them on my own
[20:40] <p1l0t> key == usb
[20:41] <BEC> bekks: I do know that, hehe; I meant don't they contain anything imp? or just default files?
[20:41] <bekks> BEC: The existing files are default files.
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  I just got confirmation from #puppet that there's no such program as mc-ping any longer
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  It's not mco ping
[20:41] <joeghi> anyone installed the distro on a macbook with retina display?
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  mco ping works fine then
[20:42] <bekks> joeghi: Why?
[20:42] <BEC> bekks: done
[20:42] <BEC> now what
=== resistivecorpse2 is now known as resistivecorpse
[20:42] <retrorex> can I use e2fsck to check for errors in windows partion which is not mounted
[20:42] <BEC> ?
[20:42] <bekks> BEC: Use gpg as you used it before.
[20:43] <retrorex> ugypoi\
[20:43] <bekks> retrorex: No.
[20:43] <p1l0t> I guess my HDD has a bad grub install?
[20:43] <retrorex> bekks why
[20:43] <bekks> retrorex: Because e2fsck does not support windows filesystems.
[20:44] <subcool> TJ-, so ur saying use recovery .. and select which option?
=== scottas is now known as zz_scottas
[20:44] <babilen> TJ-: I've done that already (second thing actually) and confirmed that a lot of I/O is performed by mount.ntfs for which I blame wubi.
=== mak_ is now known as Guest93270
[20:45] <retrorex> bekks windows is in a NTFS partition
[20:45] <bekks> retrorex: And still e2fsck does not support NTFS.
[20:45] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, From the cli you can put grub in the mbr.
[20:46] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: hows that
[20:46] <retrorex> @bekks is there a way in which I can check 4 errors in windows partion NTFS
=== carlos is now known as Guest50260
[20:47] <bekks> retrorex: Only by booting windows and running a filesystem check.
[20:47] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, boot to the cli with the usb, run sudo fdisk -l to make sure you know how the HD os read the run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX  X=the HD
[20:47] <uberhonky> guys, 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-nilee> s/is
[20:47] <retrorex> @bekks k thakz
[20:48] <TJ-> babilen: OK, what processes are running when you see the activity for mount.ntfs ? Maybe something is scanning/searching/indexing the disk
[20:48] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, If you are root omit the sudo
[20:48] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: thanks
[20:48] <Danielpk> i 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] <subcool> TJ-, i have; resume, clean,dpkg,fsck,grub,network,root,system-summar
[20:48] <TJ-> uberhonky: Did you try out xpra?
[20:48] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, No problem I always custom install I want to know where grub is going, and on occasion a usb will reverse the HD.
[20:49] <babilen> TJ-: 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] <uberhonky> yea, thing is, Its not for me, its for a client, and they need to also do it via cygwin on a windows box
[20:49] <uberhonky> so I'm hoping there is another way
[20:49] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: yeah no * under the boot for the main HD
[20:49] <uberhonky> but from a linux install it works well
[20:49] <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 up
[20:49] <subcool> TJ-, it error' like crazy, and brought me back to the menu
[20:50] <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 service
[20:50] <Praxi> hmm 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] <BEC> bekks: THANKS :D
[20:50] <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 stability
[20:51] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, If you are refrencing a boot flag it is not needed.
[20:51] <subcool> ok, ill pop a usb in - but.. what do i do from there?
[20:51] <BEC> bekks: had I lost them what could have I done?
[20:51] <subcool> TJ-, all i did was move/copy the file system. Maybe not all the files copied correctly?
=== uw is now known as Guest67956
=== florin is now known as Guest19512
[20:52] <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/missing
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: 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] <Praxi> ActionParsnip, installing Keno? now
[20:53] <subcool> TJ-, lol -
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: are you using KDE?
[20:53] <subcool> TJ-, copy/paste!? lol
[20:54] <subcool> TJ-, i understand what ur saying about compare and adjust- but- to me... i have no clue on whats wrong.
[20:54] <Praxi> I don't think so, installed some mac theme to fool my boss into thinking I was working on a mac
[20:54] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: brb.. I hope.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: theme is moot, if you aren't using KDE, you wil pull in a tonne of Qt deps
[20:55] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu comes with most Qt libraries by default now
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: tried: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: really?
[20:56] <Praxi> haven't tried lightworks, trying kino now will move to that later
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215641/   177Mb for a torrent client, I'd disagree strongly
[20:57] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: those are mostly KDE libraries
[20:57] <tsimpson> and dependencies-of
[20:57] <subcool> TJ-, so where do i begin?
[20:58] <subcool> TJ-, maybe i just need to copy the /home directory with better attributes?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: but all that will be installed if a user installs KDE apps in a Gnome deskop is my point
[20:59] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: yes, but you'll pull in KDE deps, not really any Qt deps
=== wade-bodhi32_ is now known as wade
[20:59] <tsimpson> the converse is true for someone in KDE who wants a Gnome game, but not so much for a GTK+ game
[20:59] <Praxi> ActionParsnip, lightworks isn't available yet on ubuntu is it?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: I guess, but you see my point :)
[21:00] <bekks> BEC: Nothing. Loosing your private key means you have no chance to recover it.
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: October 30th apparently, gah
[21:01] <Praxi> ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being thick and missed something :)
[21:01] <BEC> bekks: oh; glad I backed up my home then, not just my selected folders!
[21:01] <BEC> thanks again :D
[21:01] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: PERFECT your are the best. Worked like a charm. May good fortune suround you. :D
[21:01] <bekks> BEC: you're welcome
[21:01] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, Cool, enjoy. ;)
[21:02] <zenmaster> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a Hp wx9300.
[21:02] <zenmaster> It gets to a part about logging into iSCSI.
[21:02] <zenmaster> To do the parititons.
[21:02] <zenmaster> I just read somewhere that ubuntu has not had support for SCSI since 8.04.
[21:02] <krababbel> !punctuation
[21:02] <ubottu> Punctuation is good, but its overuse hurts readability. Please refrain from adding many ?'s or !'s to the end of your sentences. See also !enter
[21:02] <zenmaster> Does this mean I should be installing centos on this rig.
[21:03] <zenmaster> krababbel: There is nothing wrong with the way I am typing.
[21:03] <zenmaster> This is me trying to support this distrobution of Linux.
[21:04] <jrib> zenmaster: I think !enter is more appropriate (try to keep your questions on one line; don't use enter as punctuation)
[21:04] <zenmaster> jrib: That is awesome, ok no problem. Do you have a solutio nor suggestio to my problem?
[21:05] <roychri> Let'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?
=== xubuntu is now known as Guest50697
[21:05] <zenmaster> So instead of bring a solution to my problem, crack at the way I type. Ok.....
[21:06] <jrib> zenmaster: 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 usable
[21:06] <krababbel> zenmaster: do you use scsi or iscsi
[21:06] <zenmaster> krababbel: Yes, as it is the only drive in this system.
[21:07] <wilee-nilee> roychri, This is support not imaginary setups
[21:07] <subcool> If anyone else has an idea on how to fix this- im all ears..
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> roychri: ESX is a dedicated VMware Linux platform
[21:07] <roychri> wilee-nilee: Well, I do want that setup.  Sorry for misunderstanding
[21:07] <jrib> !helpme | subcool
[21:07] <ubottu> subcool: 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 !attitude
[21:08] <zenmaster> Does ubuntu server 12.04 support SCSI.
=== zz_scottas is now known as scottas
[21:08] <bekks> Yes.
[21:08] <subcool> jrib, have u even been paying attention?
[21:08] <jrib> subcool: no, that's the point.
[21:08] <zenmaster> bekks: Would you please inform me on how to get it installed on that drive.
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> subcool: have you tried rsync / grsync
[21:08] <subcool> exactly- so dont get ubottu happy with me.
[21:08] <subcool> ActionParsnip, nope-
[21:08] <bekks> zenmaster: On which drive exactly?
[21:09] <bekks> zenmaster: Which SCSI controller do you have exactly?
[21:09] <roychri> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I will check that out
[21:09] <zenmaster> bekks: I have a hp wx9300 workstation.  It has one SCSI drive on it. It is a LSI controller.
[21:09] <subcool> ActionParsnip, would that work with a '/home' directory copy?
[21:09] <bekks> zenmaster: Which LSI controller?
[21:09] <jrib> subcool: 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 about
[21:09] <zenmaster> bekks: one second.
[21:09] <subcool> Given the fact, all i did was move the /home directory and /var - my assumtions are that something didnt copy corrrectly.
[21:10] <zenmaster> bekks: LSI ARM Fusion MPT.
[21:10] <subcool> jrib, its better to ask = what r u having issues with, not send an ubottu bot after me because ur not paying attention.
[21:11] <zenmaster> bekks: I just found some sort of link also. ;)
[21:11] <delinquentme> can someone explain why lines 3-5 show up when I run this grep? http://pastie.org/4755875
[21:11] <subcool> jrib, i've been working llutz and TJ- on my issue for a WHILE - im not going to just rudely pretend they arent helping and ask someone else for new help. Im just saying if anyone else that is listen has an idea... to chime in.
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> subcool: its any folder to folder copy, or to sftp over LAN/WAN

[21:12] <subcool> TJ-, yea- im on 12.04 usblive. - its running funny- but it;ll do for now.
[21:13] <roychri> ActionParsnip: KVM is like ESX?
[21:13] <mouse_> I'm trying to install a couple games from the latest humble bundle and I keep getting this error: "Overflow detected: Not enough space for widget".  It's using the latest version of nixstaller and googling the error isn't helping.  Does anyone have experience with this?
[21:13] <subcool> keyboard video mouse??? roychri ??
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> roychri: ESX is a redhat based linux distro, check it out online
[21:14] <subcool> I thought ESX was a Vmware program...
[21:14] <roychri> subcool: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)
[21:14] <bekks> ESX is a product of the VMware company.
[21:14] <roychri> ESX Seems to be commerial product
[21:14] <zenmaster> bekks: Any ideas?
[21:14] <goddard> is it possible to run an ubuntu desktop without java?
[21:15] <jrib> goddard: sure
[21:15] <bekks> zenmaster: What happens exactly when trying to install the ubuntu server?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: did you run the command with sudo?
[21:15] <goddard> jrib: so all the unity programs and gnome stuff isn't written in java?
[21:15] <mouse_> ActionParsnip, I did indeed and it made no difference.
[21:15] <jrib> goddard: I don't know
[21:16] <jrib> goddard: my guess is "no" but I took your question to mean, "is it possible to run some sort of desktop on ubuntu w/o java"
[21:16] <ska> Will Web-X work in Ubuntu 12?
[21:16] <jrib> goddard: try uninstalling java and see what apt wants to take away :)
[21:16] <wizardd> is anyone aware of the situation with gma3600&3650 gfx chips? is there working driver in 3.4 kernel for it?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1678779   same error here
[21:16] <goddard> jrib: ahh hahah ok
[21:17] <jrib> goddard: it will ask for confirmation, so make sure you don't say "yes" if it wants to take away half of your packages
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: have you contacted the humble bundle guys?
[21:17] <Ineluctable> Does the Ubuntu Alternate Installation install a Graphical User Interface?  I want to install a Encrypted LVM with a minimal installation.  I do not need the X server or Gnome or whatever Ubuntu calls there desktop now.
[21:18] <zenmaster> bekks: I Choose Keyboard, I choose network config, I create user, choose time zeon. It gets to the screen that says [!] Partition Disscs. And asks me to...
[21:18] <jrib> Ineluctable: alternate install will install a desktop by default I think.  Maybe you can use the minimal install if that still exists
[21:18] <jrib> !minimal | Ineluctable
[21:18] <ubottu> Ineluctable: 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/MinimalCD
[21:18] <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.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> intransit: yes the alternate installer gives a desktop OS
[21:19] <zenmaster> bekks: 1) Configure iSCSI volumes, 2)Blank(Literally nothin gthere) 3) undo changes to partitions 4) finish partitioning and write changes to disk.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: they have great support :)
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: try a reboot too
=== ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0
[21:20] <krababbel> zenmaster: iscsi is not scsi, it is a network drive
[21:20] <bekks> zenmaster: In the boot screen, did you check the boot options? Maybe you have a chance to load the mpt driver, or at least you have a chance to use the expert install which will allow you to load more modules.
[21:20] <zenmaster> krababbel: This 12.04 server doe snot support this SCSI controller than.
[21:20] <mouse_> ActionParsnip, I suppose I'll let them know the error then.  Hopefully they can pass it along.  And I've been working on this issue since last night so rebooting doesn't make a difference.
=== Mi-- is now known as Mi`
[21:20] <zenmaster> Or at least out of the box.
[21:20] <Ineluctable> The minimal cd will allow me to setup a encrypted lvm, and encrypt my home directory during the installation correct?
[21:21] <zenmaster> bekks: I did check the advanced options and triedlike don't load dmaraid.
[21:21] <bekks> krababbel: Which is not true. iSCSI is SCSI over IP presenting a block device, not a network share. :)
[21:21] <bekks> zenmaster: Then try the expert install and try to load the mpt module.
[21:21] <krababbel> bekks: ok, just thought the installer might not find local scsi drives when you choose the iscsi optio
[21:21] <zenmaster> bekks: I think I will probably need assistance with that since I have never done that before.
[21:22] <zenmaster> I just want to test performance of this rig over my current server which is a Dell Power edge 2800.
[21:22] <allure> I need a powerful tool to convert HD videos to mp4... any tips? :)
[21:23] <allure> I have 24G of RAM on a core i7 and would like to take advantage of it

[21:23] <ubottu> ana69: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.
[21:24] <malkauns_> dr_willis, for me it flashes on refresh
[21:24] <dr_willis> allure:  in the docs for whatever tool you are using. I noticed it one day in winff it was just using 1 core. I had to add a option to the cli settings
[21:24] <malkauns_> dr_willis, didn't use to do that before
[21:24] <ana69> ¿es muy dificil configurar el ubuntu?
[21:24] <bekks> zenmaster: Just go through all options in the installer menu, starting from top. Most of them are self-explanatory, literally.
[21:24] <ana69> ¿es muy dificil configurar el ubuntu?
[21:24] <allure> dr_willis, yeah, that is the reason I came here to ask... I am using WinFF and it is not fast at all. Maybe that's the reason! :)
[21:24] <Otkrick> bind, rrset. Please, help me (http://pastebin.com/0MWcp4R1)
[21:24] <allure> ana69, use el canal #ubuntu-es
[21:25] <zenmaster> bekks: I figured it would be some console commands to load the extra modules.
[21:25] <vlt> ana69: No, non es dificil. Vai a #ubuntu-es.
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  I  recall getting the exact info from the askubuntu forums I think on ffmpeg multithread or winff multithread options
[21:25] <zenmaster> I have been running linux for years and years. My os of choice back in the day was Slakware. Started at 4. :)
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  watch your cpu load. here it would 100% 1 core.
[21:25] <ana69> vale gracias
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  of course your whold system will start lagging if you use too many threads
[21:25] <bekks> zenmaster: Loading modules is the same troughout all distros ;) modprobe mpt and dmesg :)
[21:26] <allure> dr_willis, I thought there was some way to optimize the encoding proccess... my video files are all above 1G each and I have to encode 12 of them per day! :)
[21:27] <zenmaster> bekks: Right. Been a while since I have had to do that. :)
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> allure: tried renicing the process to a vale of -10 or similar?
[21:27] <allure> ActionParsnip, yeah, I tried -19 even :/
[21:27] <zenmaster> bekks: So I need to enter console from this installer menu to get to the point where I need to install mpt module?
[21:27] <razieliyo> hi
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> allure: yikes
[21:27] <dr_willis> allure:  from the winff docs (i just looked) it uses  '-threads 2'  if multithreading is enabled. you can set it to use moar..
[21:28] <bekks> zenmaster: BAsically no. You can switch through the installer menu entries.
[21:28] <dr_willis> allure:  faster speeds  can result in worse quality.. so its a trade off. if you are using all your cores. ;)
[21:28] <razieliyo> how can I change my video driver? it used to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but now I just have this: http://pastebin.com/AWUCexCh
[21:28] <zenmaster> bekks: I do not see it in the "Load installer componets from CD" menu.
[21:28] <allure> dr_willis, yes, there is an option in the preferences to allow it to use multithreads. I hope it improves the speed, cause i need much much moar :)
[21:28] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  by default these days X auto configures. xorg.conf is only needed in a few cases.
[21:28] <allure> dr_willis, thank you :)
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: so, how can I change the video driver?
[21:29] <dr_willis> allure:  I think you want threads  one less then the # of cores.

[21:29] <allure> dr_willis, I can dedicate the machine to encoding, so it's no biggy :)
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: I have nvidia, but I'd like to run my SO in other system with ati
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: so, I want to be able to change the driver
[21:29] <dr_willis> allure:  you may want to see what command line winff is using, and use it as a base to tweak your own set of alias's
[21:30] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  use the addational-drivers tool to disable it.
[21:30] <allure> dr_willis, yeah, cool idea :)
[21:30] <razieliyo> dr_willis: thanks!
[21:30] <dr_willis> xorg.conf for nvidia is only needed here when i enable twinview and a few other features.
[21:30] <zenmaster> bekks: I tihnk i may see what is going on here./
[21:30] <razieliyo> dr_willis: additional-drivers tool?
[21:31] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  yes.. its in the menus. its the tool you used to install/enable the ati/nvidia/other special drivers
[21:31] <dr_willis> from the cli = 'jockey-gtk'
[21:31] <razieliyo> dr_willis: hmmm this weird thing about graphical stuff
[21:31] <razieliyo> I prefered it by text
[21:32] <dr_willis> jockey-text then...
[21:32] <dr_willis> ;P
[21:32] <dr_willis> You want an easy way to enable/disable them... thats the tool to use.
[21:32] <razieliyo> okay, dr_willis! that was what I was looking for =)
[21:32] <razieliyo> thanks for this
[21:32] <razieliyo> I'm a bit outdated
[21:32] <dr_willis> I thought if you just had them both installed and no xorg.conf X SHOULD auto-detect and use the proper drivers.
[21:33] <dr_willis> but been ages since ive moved stuff from an ati->nvidia system
[21:33] <razieliyo> yes, in fact me too, I've not used ati almost never
[21:33] <s3r3n1t7> dr_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] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: ahhh shouldloand :)
[21:33] <dr_willis> the open sourced driver may work fine for your system on the ati card.
[21:34] <dr_willis> in 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_willis> since its installed by default. ;0
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: http://pastie.org/4755989
[21:35] <razieliyo> is xserver-xorg-video-ati the name for the ati driver?
[21:35] <aguitel> i need to install old ubuntu version in old laptop ,can i run update and upgrade with repos?
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> razieliyo: its the package containing it
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: if you have an old laptop, install Xubuntu or Lubuntu and it will use fewer resources
[21:36] <zenmaster> bekks: Not wanting to read the USBkey.... for modules.
[21:36] <s3r3n1t7> aguitel, 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] <razieliyo> so, shouldn't I see that ati driver if I run jockey-gtk?
[21:37] <dr_willis> are you on the ati system?
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 but i want to install ati drivers
[21:37] <dr_willis> the open sourced ati driver is installed by default. the fglrx driver is the ones from ati/amd.
[21:37] <razieliyo> dr_willis: no
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 only in old version avaleable
[21:37] <razieliyo> oh, okay, I understand
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: do you mean the proprietary ones?
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, yes
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[21:38] <ubottu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[21:38] <razieliyo> so if I'm on the ati system, standard open source drivers will be loaded automatically
[21:38] <dr_willis> Unless you are doing some gaming or other fancy 3d stuff on the ati system. the open soueced drivers should be fine. if they work
[21:38] <dr_willis> which may be a BIG if. ;)
[21:38] <razieliyo> yes, the thing is that I need them to play minecraft
[21:39] <razieliyo> silence came after I said that
[21:39] <zenmaster> How do you load modules during a Ubuntu Server 12.04 install?

[22:46] <erkan^> wifi doesn't , ActionParsnip
[22:46] <SparksIT> where would i find the partition name?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: doesn't what?
[22:46] <bekks> In sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> SparksIT: sudo blkid
[22:47] <TJ-> SparksIT: "cat /proc/partitions" will show you all the block devices the kernel is aware of
[22:47] <bekks> sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid
[22:47] <Cong> tj, I think it needs quotes: update-grub "-o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[22:47] <erkan^> they said: no device, ActionParsnip
[22:47] <bekks> Otherwise, the blkid cache may fool you.
[22:47] <subcool> My bad-
[22:47] <erkan^> i have seen a pictogram for network
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the wireless chip?
[22:48] <fishbait> how do iget my monitors to run as two independent desktops?
[22:48] <erkan^> a wait
[22:48] <jab416171|Cloud> fishbait: you need two computers :)
=== cesar_ is now known as Guest95335
[22:48] <jab416171|Cloud> or you mean extend vs duplicate?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: are you wanting a dual seat?
[22:49] <bekks> jab416171|Cloud: Thats not true.
[22:49] <fishbait> no no no like 2 monitors showing 2 workspaces
[22:50] <Cong> if both show same screen you could switch one to desk 2, is that possible?
[22:51] <SparksIT> When I perform a sudo blkid I get - /dev/sda1/ UUID="bf..snip..e5" SEC_Type="ext2" Type=ext3
[22:51] <fishbait> both act as 1 desktop my goal is 1 desktop eAch
[22:51] <erkan^> ActionParsnip, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215810/
[22:51] <Poindexter_> Curious folks. Does it make a difference with 64 bit versus 32 bit with Ubuntu and the operation of the kernel outside of obvious? E.g, working with Win7 OS and working with other Linux kernels, is there a backwards compatibility?
[22:51] <bekks> SparksIT: So /dev/sda1 contains an ext3 filesystem.
[22:52] <SparksIT> bekks: yes
[22:52] <bekks> SparksIT: Check "mount" wether it is mounted or not.
[22:52] <SparksIT> bekks: not mounted
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: you can run 32bit apps in 64bit Ubuntu
[22:53] <bekks> SparksIT: So please pastebin the output of mount.
[22:53] <bekks> !paste > SparksIT
[22:53] <ubottu> SparksIT, please see my private message
[22:53] <erkan^> have you seen this paste, ActionParsnip ?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: then its teh usual difference inside the kernel (access to more of the cpu) etc
[22:53] <Dice-Man> where to find all ubottu command ?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: working with Win7 will be identical
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Dice-Man

[22:54] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[22:54] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip would that simply apply with other VBOX issues if you know about the differences?
[22:54] <Cong> dice-man, /msg ubottu command
[22:54] <SparksIT> bekks: the PC i am setting up is not on the network
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: if your CPU supports 64bit guests then you can run one.
[22:54] <erkan^> lucid, ActionParsnip
[22:55] <battlehands> Hello #ubuntu, I'm using lubuntu, and am wondering how I can move a file from my Downloads folder to another folder using terminal.  The folder is a matlab .m file.
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: does the system have a make and model?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: why such an old release?
[22:55] <battlehands> file**
[22:55] <SparksIT> Bekks: give me a minute, i'll run cable
[22:55] <erkan^> WLAN and LAN works fine with Windows 7, ActionParsnip
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: where do you want it to be moved to?
[22:56] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip I am running Debian on VBOX right now. The throughput on the Host is great as well as the Guest. I was wondering because this box is  32 bit machine and I ran a 64 bit similar box and saw no difference in transit time.
[22:56] <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, ActionParsnip
[22:57] <magn3ts> is it possible to build a 1+0 RAID array and then expand it in place?
[22:57] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: home/battlehands/MATLAB/bin/dsp
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: I'd ask in #vbox maybe they can explain better, debain is not supported here
[22:57] <erkan^> sorry for disconnect, ActionParsnip
[22:57] <erkan^> can you solve my problem, ActionParsnip ?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: so, to clarify, you have a file in ~/Downloads which you want to copy to ~/MATLAB/bin/dsp   is that right?
[22:58] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip true. Lots of the folks on VBOX channel don't have a clue and wait for a guru to come on the channel.  :)
[22:58] <Praxi> this is getting frustrated, so difficult to just lop off 6 minutes of video on the front end, and 4 on the backend of a video
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: does the system have a make and model? Why are you running such an old release?
[22:58] <Praxi> have to go find a mac in the office I guess
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: then ask in #debian
[22:58] <Poindexter_> Good point.
[22:58] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: 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] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: could use mencoder :)
[22:58] <Basic> erkan try ubuntu 12.04 all wireless problems are solved in this release
[22:58] <erkan^> WLAN and LAN works fine with Windows 7, ActionParsnip
[22:59] <Praxi> haven't tried that one yet ActionParsnip
[22:59] <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, ActionParsnip
[22:59] <battlehands> between*
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: mv ~/Downloads/filename ~/MATLAB/bin/dsp
[22:59] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip I was working on a special hardware box today. I sought some techs input, not everyone in on the same page.
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: thats irrelevant, Its a completely different OS with completely different support
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .

[22:59] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/132472/split-video-from-mkv-avi-mp4
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: did you try Xubuntu 12.04?
[23:00] <Basic> Erkan have you tried xubuntu, or lubuntu
[23:00] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: 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] <k4r1m> LOL gparted is showing unallocated space
[23:00] <erkan^> ubuntu 12.04 works fine with wlan and lan, but very slow , i like lucid than precise, Basic
[23:00] <k4r1m> so I baasically lost all of my data?
[23:00] <erkan^> i don't like xubuntu, ActionParsnip
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: when you run the command, suffic the command with a spave and an amperand
[23:00] <erkan^> i like GNOME
[23:00] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".

[23:01] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: Lucid desktop is EOL in April next year, so you will need to make a move by then. Xubuntu isn't hugely different to old Gnome
[23:01] <dr_willis> old skool type desktops Lubuntu and Xubuntu. ;)
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: again, does the system have a make and model?
[23:01] <erkan^> Ubuntu Server 10.04 is support till 2015, ActionParsnip
[23:02] <erkan^> yes acidchild
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: no, tahts server, not desktop
[23:02] <erkan^> ActionParsnip,
[23:02] <dr_willis> the server support wont include the desktop packages.
[23:02] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip thanks for the time and input. I will keep searching for the holy grail. :)
[23:02] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: didn't work.  I'm going to try a new terminal window.
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases
[23:02] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: 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^> ok
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: the desktop is EOL in April 2013
[23:02] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: pastebin.com/QCwq9Fmr
[23:03] <erkan^> i see that lucid is very better than precise, why doesn't they stay development with lucid, ActionParsnip ?
[23:03] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: it's really personal data, its a work machine so there is a bunch of VPN and LDAP configs I really need
[23:03] <SparksIT> Bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215824/
[23:03] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: 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 specified
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: weird terminal
[23:04] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: When I upgraded there was two partitions, a 240gb on / and a ~750mb on /boot just for grub
[23:04] <_DanN_> 750mb 4 grub ...
[23:04] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: I have all kinds of problems... I'm not a linux guru  ;)
[23:04] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: 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 team
[23:05] <dr_willis> I dont find lucid that better at all...
[23:05] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Also, you should take out of this the lesson that backups are *essential*.
[23:05] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: oh.. I'm booting a livecd
[23:05] <erkan^> haven't they a driver deb for lucid --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215810/, ActionParsnip ?
[23:05] <k4r1m> usb to be accurate
[23:06] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: I opened a new terminal and use the full path of the command you provided.  File move successful!  Thank you.
[23:06] <battlehands> used*
[23:06] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: can that be a cause?
[23:06] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: No.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: if you use terminal alot, i recommend installing guake :)
[23:06] <Basic> battlehands  cd /(computer name)/(your user name)/ that will bring up home in terminal
[23:07] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: alright, any suggestions?
[23:07] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: thank you, but I won't even have time to look that up for another couple of days
[23:07] <battlehands> Basic: true

[23:08] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: ou haven't answered my question....
[23:08] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Also, you'll want to start installing "gdisk" and "testdisk" (I'll walk you through how to use them). Are you using an Ubuntu LiveUSB?

[23:08] <erkan^> Yes, ActionParsnip
[23:09] <morgan> is there a way to kill lightdm and compiz/unity etc before I load up a game through wine?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: ok, what is the make and model?
[23:09] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip:  now you have to ask him what make and model it is.....

I am lost. if i use chrome to browse the source I added in sources.list then I can see that the package has been updated to a newer 3.0.1 but my system wont upgrade from 2.3.3
[23:11] <bizhanMona> the system is configured as Ubuntu-server so there is no GUI environment but I have installed the Xorg.
[23:11] <cornfeed> oops, wrong channel

[23:13] <Basic> Kinfo center
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: using cruddy old kernels sometimes doesn't identify the chip and makes installing hardware a tonne harder, newer kernels will probably tell you exactly the wifi chip and you can set it up#

[23:14] <erkan^> WeThePeople, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215842/
[23:14] <Basic> is cinnamon a desktop choice for ubuntu 12.04
[23:15] <erkan^> i must download precise, ActionParsnip
[23:15] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: 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] <ActionParsnip> Basic: with a PPA, yes. Cinammon isn't supported here though
[23:15] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: Alright thanks Ill try that
[23:16] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Do you have any idea how this could have come about though?
[23:19] <dr_willis> bizhanMona:  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] <k4r1m> Jordan_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 still
[23:19] <k4r1m>  got the same here which brought me to the livecd and here
[23:20] <erkan^> and WeThePeople ?
=== r is now known as Guest98512
[23:22] <tking> hello 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_U> k4r1m: 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).
[23:23] <k4r1m> Jordan_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_U> k4r1m: 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.
[23:24] <k4r1m> kk ill try it thanks
[23:24] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You're welcome.
=== r_ is now known as Guest71411

[23:28] <tking> i added a user, and deleted it, but i still have the user folder in my home directory
[23:28] <trism> a1fa: you need to enable normal upgrades, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (support in #ubuntu+1)
[23:28] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes.

[23:29] <obi> alfa: update manager, settings, show all releases
[23:29] <a1fa> trism: i figured it out.. the lts has a lock on what version
[23:29] <a1fa> right
[23:29] <a1fa> thanks obi, trism
[23:29] <k4r1m> I did that and rebooted and now I'm still getting the same thing and "ls" in the rescue shell is giving me "error: no such partition"
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> AlfE_: you need to edit a file first, or the OS will only 'see' LTS releases

[23:30] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You may need to re-install grub. You should now see that gparted can read the partition table correctly though.
[23:30] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: alright let me boot the usb
[23:30] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: To re-install grub follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[23:31] <Guest_649> hi
[23:31] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: In addition to that, you should also run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure to select /dev/sda as an install device, and not any partition.

[23:32] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: the usb image is running 64bit but I'm not sure if the precise on the actual hardware is also 64bit.. anyway to find out?
[23:32] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: because that page says they need to match

[23:37] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: LVM isn't a filesystem, you use a filesystem like ext4 on top of LVM. Ubuntu's installer doesn't use LVM by default.
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> kdsmain: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then retry sound

[23:37] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes (though not default).
[23:37] <J3f> epic fail rm -r ~/.
[23:38] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: shall proceed to instal grub?
[23:38] <dr_willis> J3f:  /media/. would be worse.. ;)
[23:38] <J3f> dr_willis: oh ok :D
[23:39] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: what do i run to restart sound?
[23:39] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: ty btw
[23:39] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes, but unfortunately I need to leave so you'll have to figure out how to mount the Logical Volume from someone else. You can also try booting via Super GRUB2 Disk (Use 2.00 beta1) which will allow you to boot into the actual installed system where it's easier to fix things.

[23:39] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: I'll be back in about an hour and a half.
[23:39] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: sounds good thanks and bye
[23:40] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You're welcome.
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> kdsmain: it restarts itself automagically
[23:41] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: still don't hear anything
[23:41] <kdsmain> pulseaudo --start says daemon startup failed
[23:44] <kdsmain> although I found the wiki that has commands similar to what you said so maybe I can find the answer there
[23:45] <k4r1m> http://pastebin.com/djbgdRug this looks really weird, anyone can help?
[23:46] <k4r1m> If my eyes are not mistaken did I somehow install ubuntu on a Window95 partition?
