[00:01] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: have you enabled permissions in the mint box?
[00:01] <jrib> Jhon: what language do you prefer?
[00:02] <VillageIdiot> and there were 138 registered users under names such as: 048FA005, 40866DF3
 i dont think so .. thats a problem
[00:02] <VillageIdiot> and others such as
[00:02] <jerry_l1> ubbuto you are funny.
[00:02] <datiecher> trism: i guess i should try to find some help on the emscripten channel then, thanks a ton for your patience!
[00:02] <i7c> !ru | Jhon
[00:02] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: are you able to ping the mint?
[00:02] <AaronCampbell> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and recently my icons disappeared from the Desktop (the files are still in ~/Desktop), I can't launch a file browser, and running nautilus from the command line results in "Bus error (core dumped)"
[00:02] <AaronCampbell> Any idea what might cause this or where I can look for more info on what's wrong?
[00:02] <Jhon> no
[00:02] <jerry_l1> yeah what john said.
[00:02] <Jhon> i make here...

[00:03] <jerry_l1> !en | Jhon
[00:03] <miraj> AaronCampbell : sounds like one of your cards may have come unseated?
[00:03] <VillageIdiot> I clicked one of them and a whole bunch of weird characters came up on the screen
[00:03] <mega1> my server does not seam to get on the internet
[00:03] <VillageIdiot> it was all bluish
[00:03] <VillageIdiot> and then red
 how can i do that?
[00:03] <VillageIdiot> and I got this weird error
[00:03] <jerry_l1> ilol
[00:03] <jrib> !enter | VillageIdiot
[00:03] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: do you know the ip of the mint box?
[00:04] <AaronCampbell> miraj: The only card in my system is a video card, which seems to be working fine.  What makes you think it would be an unseated card?
[00:04] <VillageIdiot> it was like BSOD but it had an image of a computer on fire
 yeah roger that done
[00:04] <miraj> AaronCampbell : bus errors often indicate serious hardware problems
[00:04] <AaronCampbell> I take that back there's also a hardware raid controller...which also seems to be working fine
[00:04] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: you can successfully ping the mint box?
 yes
[00:05] <mega1> my server can ping me and i can ping it but it cant get to the internet
[00:05] <MissionControl> VillageIdiot, press Ctrl + Alt + K + L + F3
[00:05] <MissionControl> don't ask, just do
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> mega1: try:  echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null        Then try the web
[00:06] <VillageIdiot> ummm
[00:06] <VillageIdiot> ok
[00:06] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: have you enabled file sharing on the mint box?
[00:06] <miraj> AaronCampbell : might also be a memory error (like a mem stick come loose)
[00:06] <flan_suse> In 12.04, is this package in the official repositories? libdrm-intel1:i386
[00:06] <VillageIdiot> when should I press that
[00:06] <MissionControl> at login if you can
[00:06] <flan_suse> I cannot find it in my package manager.
[00:06] <jrib> MissionControl, VillageIdiot: stop now.
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> !find libdrm
[00:07] <miraj> megal, does your ISP allow incoming connections to customer servers?
[00:07] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: That doesn't show this: libdrm-intel1:i386
[00:07] <HSaka> Ummm ubuntu install got stucked at starting up the partion 45%...
[00:07] <MissionControl> ?
 iam not sure
[00:07] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: It's i386 for amd64 installs.
[00:07] <HSaka> why does it get stuck there?
 when i go to a folder for example i can to folder options and share it
[00:07] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: I'm kind of confused of how the multiarch support is supposed to work...
[00:08] <jrib> malte: pastebin result of « ls ~/.bash* ~/.profile »
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> flan_suse: the 64bit OS is multi-arch
[00:08] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: good. since before this conversation or after?
[00:08] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: Right, but is the package somehow hidden unless multiarch is enabled or something?
 before
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> flan_suse: its used by default
[00:08] <HSaka> can somebody help me? : )
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> mega1: do you get web access after the command is ran?
[00:08] <VillageIdiot> it works!!!
[00:08] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: have you created a user or guest account for the ubuntu to log into the mint box?
[00:08] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: Okay, so then I guess the package doesn't exist?
[00:08] <jerry_l1> what gas lowers you voice? i am watching tv and that is what they are doing.
 no
[00:09] <miraj> HSaka : maybe
[00:09] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: My log shows it was updated, and then later removed (after using the xorg-edgers PPA.)
[00:09] <VillageIdiot> thank you MissionControl
[00:09] <mega1> actionParsnip no
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> HSaka: is that in an installed Ubuntu, or the liveCD?
[00:09] <HSaka> I used unetbooting with the newest netinstall
[00:09] <flan_suse> ActionParsnip: However, how was it "updated" when it didn't even exist?
[00:09] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: on mint you might need to.
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> mega1: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[00:09] <morgan> how do I get safely back to compiz after doing metacity --replace ?
[00:09] <HSaka> it's in usb.
 the thing is that i dont know how to create it
[00:09] <creative_x> ..
[00:09] <malte> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217822/
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> HSaka: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred?
[00:10] <mega1> actionParsnip yes
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> morgan: Press ALT+F2 compiz --replace
[00:10] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: are you on the mint box right now?
[00:10] <HSaka> I downloaded it directly from UNetbooting
 yes
[00:10] <VillageIdiot> how did you figure it out Mission?
[00:10] <MissionControl> it's a secret
[00:11] <morgan> ActionParsnip, nothing happens when I hit alt F2 do you mean ctrl+alt+ f2?
[00:11] <MissionControl> a deep dark hidden one
[00:11] <HSaka> ActionParsnip, should i download from somewhere else?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> mega1: ok run:  echo "namesever 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail > /dev/null     reboot to test
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> HSaka: try downloading it manually and MD5 testing it yourself, then use unetbootin on that
[00:11] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: second, im searching
[00:11] <jrib> malte: pastebin the contents of your ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile
[00:12] <Jhon> OK! U here!?

[00:12] <HSaka> thanks
[00:13] <jrib> Jhon: uh, try a virtualizer like virtualbox maybe?
[00:13] <malte> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217825/
[00:13] <morgan> ActionParsnip, ok I did that, but I don't think it worked
[00:13] <DLabz> tried using autostart thingie from the settings, but it doesn't save it
[00:13] <jrib> malte: while you do that, when you need to add something to your PATH, what do *you* do?
[00:13] <Jhon> virtualbox on table?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> Jhon: could use the blkid of the system partition to ID the system, or the Ethernet address of the primary network interface
[00:13] <Jhon> tablet
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> pizzadude: does it show in cheese?
[00:14] <DLabz> also, tried making /etc/init.d script, but it doesn't start it on startup
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Jhon: doesn't matter, it still has a network device and so forth....
[00:14] <Jhon> please Wine is not virtual mashine
[00:14] <malte> I add the following command in the .bashrc file: export PATH=$PATH:/blablabla/bin
[00:14] <DLabz> script in script it self works when called
[00:14] <miraj> pizzadude : the only thing I can think of right now is maybe your bios settings for the usb ports?
[00:14] <Jhon> i need high fast speed work proramm
[00:14] <pizzadude> ActionParsnip: yes
[00:14] <mega1> actionParsnip tee: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail: No such file or directory
[00:14] <jrib> miraj: yes, you have a few additions like that in your .bashrc.  Which part of your PATH exactly are you not sure where it comes from?
[00:14] <Jhon> like wine
[00:14] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-home-network-with-linux-mint/2012/06/05

[00:15] <pizzadude> ok
[00:15] <Jhon> u nit undestand my question?
[00:15] <jrib> malte: yes, you have a few additions like that in your .bashrc.  Which part of your PATH exactly are you not sure where it comes from?
[00:15] <DLabz> than, tried chkconfig, complain about LSB thingie
[00:15] <gerbilcabbagehai> creative_x: this might partially help

[00:24] <memory_process> yes i can i came for hep but yes i will
[00:24] <pizzadude> ActionParsnip the scripts on that thread you sent me are old and dont work
[00:24] <jrib> malte: by the way, you need to log out and back in for .profile to be read.  If you want to just source it for your current shell, you can do « source ~/.profile »

[00:26] <ethern0t> no prob installing it?
[00:27] <memory_process> no
[00:27] <David7> Kickball, you can connect the Ubuntu ISO to the VM as a CD-ROM. When you boot the VM, it will boot from the ISO and install Ubuntu.
[00:27] <nsaquatics> question: on my workstation install, I have Ubuntu it works like a charm except after upgrading to 12.04, the OS thinks my monitor is about 1/2 wider than it actually is is there a place to adjust the screen width?
[00:27] <ethern0t> uefi bios?
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> pizzadude: vlc can do it too
[00:27] <memory_process> i dont know what you are asking

[00:27] <pizzadude> ActionParsnip how
[00:27] <ethern0t> is a new pc or laptop?
[00:27] <memory_process> pc
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> nsaquatics: what GPU do you use?

[00:29] <memory_process> load the kernal o the new partition drive
[00:29] <ethern0t> memory_process: i have win8 running and want to install it i have 500gb disk 200 ntfs win8 the rest is empty or not assigned
[00:29] <Kickball> Kickball, you can connect the Ubuntu ISO to the VM as a CD-ROM. When you boot the VM, it will boot from the ISO and install Ubuntu.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: download and MD5 test the Ubuntu ISO, make a new virtual system then mount it in virtualbox as the optical drive. Start the virtual system
[00:29] <David7> Kickball, Did you try that?
[00:29] <memory_process> so run your distro cd
[00:29] <ethern0t> when installing ubuntu or any other distro the installer saya
[00:29] <Kickball> I have no cds atm, and also I tried that but my discs are 5gb and unbuntu is like 11gbb
[00:29] <memory_process> dvd
[00:29] <memory_process> usb
[00:30] <ethern0t> to me i have empty disk
[00:30] <bazhang> memory_process, stop that
[00:30] <David7> Kickball, Is the Ubuntu ISO on the Windows machine?
[00:30] <ethern0t> 500gb blank hdd
[00:30] <Kickball> yes
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: you don't need CDs, virtualbox can handle ISO files
[00:30] <Kickball> but it does nothing atm, i have just downloaded it
[00:30] <bazhang> !who | memory_process
[00:30] <Kickball> ok
[00:30] <David7> You can connect the CD-ROM drive in the VM directly to the ISO file
[00:30] <Kickball> so where do i go to set it up?
[00:30] <memory_process> whatewver your using and instal os on yeah sorry my bad
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: otherwise I would have said to burn a CD, but I didn't.....
[00:31] <jrib> malte: no problem.  Basically, that ~/.profile gets executed one time at login, but your .bashrc gets executed at login (because .profile sources it) and also when you open a new shell
[00:31] <Kickball> ah ok
[00:31] <David7> Kickball, Open the settings for the virtual machine
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: installing virtualbox is a good first step
[00:31] <Kickball> I have it installed
[00:31] <bazhang> memory_process, use the nick of the person you are addressing
[00:31] <miraj> ethern0t : that sounds definitely like uefi parition table that ubuntu isn't reading
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: just play with the software, its not complex at all
[00:31] <ethern0t> miraj: i think it is
[00:31] <David7> Kickball, In the settings for the VM, select the CD-ROM drive and then browse to the ISO file
[00:31] <ethern0t> miraj: but there is not alot of info about it on web
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: there is a settings section for media, just tell it to use the ISO file
[00:32] <Kickball> what do i with the hard drive setting? Do not add a virtual hard drive? Create a virtual hard drive now?
[00:32] <Kickball> ok under media, will do after i finish the rest
[00:32] <miraj> ethern0t : when you installed Win 8, did it give you any partition-creating options to choose from?
[00:32] <malte> jrib: didn't know that. Again, thanks again and good night!
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: yes, or you won't have anywhere to install ubuntu to will you..
[00:33] <David7> Kickball, Did you create a virtual machine? Did you add hard drives to the virtual machine?
[00:33] <ethern0t> miraj: yeap
[00:33] <Kickball> Idk
[00:33] <Kickball> I am just following the setting under new
[00:33] <ethern0t> miraj: i ve created the partition there since it was a blank hdd
[00:33] <Kickball> does anyone have teamviewer
[00:33] <David7> If you're going to install Ubuntu in Virtual Box, make the hard drive at least 16 GB to start with
[00:33] <miraj> ethern0t : you might have to reinstall Win 8 with a standard partition table
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: all it takes is a bit of thinknig. Think abouot what you need to do to a physical PC and use that mentality
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: its not a lot different
[00:34] <nsaquatics> ActionParsnip,  it's an onboard GPU Tungsten Graphics, Inc. - Mesa DRI Intel(R) 946GZ
[00:34] <techkid6> Hey, is it possible to ssh into an ububtu virtual machine on VMWare?
[00:34] <techkid6> I tried but timed out
[00:34] <WeThePeople> program to convert webm to avi etc..
[00:34] <memory_process> for backrack how do i get flash working?
[00:34] <jrib> techkid6: don't see why not
[00:34] <xangua> !backtrack | memory_process
[00:34] <ethern0t> miraj: or set it back to 7, since no difference to me. but thanks for your attention
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> techkid6: yes, i'd check your vmware settings for network
[00:34] <unless__> techkid6, yes it is, #vbox for more help.
[00:34] <bazhang> memory_process, go to backtrack support, it's not supported here
[00:34] <techkid6> Ok, should I just bridge it ;)
[00:34] <bazhang> !backtrack | memory_process
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> techkid6: probably easier
[00:34] <nsaquatics> techkid6, make sure you have bridged networking and the firewall shut off
[00:35] <memory_process> !backtrack
[00:35] <techkid6> Ok ;)
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> memory_process: why would you want flash in backtrack anyway.....seems obscure
[00:35] <Kickball> I am stuck here: http://postimage.org/image/7nvtcrkwp/6295bec2/
[00:35] <miraj> ethern0t : I'm pretty sure othert people have been able to install linux with uefi parititions
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: the default is fine
[00:36] <Kickball> ok
[00:36] <ring1> windows support in #ubuntu ;)

[00:40] <MACscr> anyone using synergy with ubuntu and osx ML? I cant seem to get the keyboard to work on ubuntu (the mac is being the server)
[00:40] <MACscr> also, im seeing there a few different flavors of synergy. Which one should i be using?
[00:41] <Froward> MACscr: I'm no expert, but maybe a firewall is catching it?
[00:42] <MACscr> well mouse is working, so i doubt that
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: did you tell vbox to use the ISO in the cD drive?
[00:42] <Froward> MACscr: sounds like you're most of the way there.. did you google it?
[00:42] <MACscr> im thinking its a mac issue as im not even seeing any keyboard responses on the server logs when in debug mode
[00:43] <MACscr> Froward: yes. Im an IT consultant, so im pretty competent.
[00:43] <Kickball> cd drive? for snapshot drive I changed it to C:\Users\edickson15\VirtualBox VMs\Edward-Ubuntu\ubuntu.iso
[00:44] <Kickball> I have no clue where to go from here
[00:44] <Froward> MACscr: chill your jets, bro <_< can you type to at least one of them?
[00:44] <techkid6> oh, how do I change my username by the way?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: http://www.greatboxee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Virtual_Box___Settings___Storage.png
[00:44] <David7> Kickball, Press next and create a VDI
[00:45] <David7> Kickball, Just for reference, are we going to have to walk you through each step of creating a VM?
[00:45] <MACscr> Froward: im on my mac now and its the server, so yes, i can type on it. I am only testing with one client though, the ubuntu system and its not getting any responses. As i mentioned though, i think its a mac issue as on the mac during debug mode, I can see mouse actions showing on the mac synergy log, but nothing happens when i use the keyboard
[00:45] <Kickball> That is not what i see. I see this: http://postimage.org/image/6jdab4a1r/e32b6c67/
[00:46] <MACscr> Froward: are you by chance using synergy?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: click the little CD icon on the right of the dropdown
[00:47] <Froward> MACscr: no, I used it last about a year ago. I mixed up the client/server terminology. I think you'd have better luck in #macOSX , those guys seem to be more powerusers.
[00:47] <MrBushido> what file is used to run commands on login in ubuntu? (in my case i want to pass some xinput commands)
[00:47] <Kickball> it works
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: you do know there are videos on youtube which will walk you through all this....
[00:48] <David7> Kickball, Where it says "IDE Secondary Master" click and browse to the ISO file
[00:48] <Kickball> I have done it
[00:48] <Kickball> but then i get an error
[00:48] <Kickball> can someone link an UPDATED video?
[00:48] <Kickball> please?
[00:49] <brophat> the software center has matlab, but don't you first need to buy a license before you can install it?
[00:49] <Kickball> cuz i am the BEST at finding out dated videos
[00:50] <ampd> brophat: you can try octave, it's like matlab and libre
[00:50] <brophat> ampd my professor insists we use matlab
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: there are lots of vids. The guys in #vbox can help too
[00:51] <brophat> ampd so doesn't one first need to buy matlab before they can install matlab on their computer from the software center?
[00:51] <ampd> brophat: he should provide you with a student copy.
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: you can sort youtube by date you know
[00:51] <Kickball> ah is that wat it is not virtual box
[00:51] <Kickball> wow i am a retard
[00:51] <brophat> ampd he said go to the library computer room
[00:51] <ampd> brophat: the licence should work
[00:51] <Kickball> #vbox
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Kickball: are you  new to youtube?
[00:52] <brophat> ampd what license?
[00:52] <Kickball> sort of
[00:52] <brophat> ampd I have no license
[00:52] <ampd> brophat: when i had to use it for school they provided licenses
[00:52] <brophat> ampd I figured if the software center has software to download it is free
[00:52] <brophat> ampd here they are not
[00:53] <ampd> brophat: i never tried it from the software center, this was before it existed :)
[00:53] <Nordom> Hello, ubuntu noob here, I dled a .tar.gz file, I can open it using archive manager, how do I install it?
[00:53] <techkid6> how do i switch windows with screen? :P
[00:53] <techkid6> i am stuck on irssi lol
[00:53] <ampd> Nordom: is there a .sh file in the archive?
[00:53]  * techkid6 is new to this
[00:54] <ampd> techkid6: esc + number
[00:54] <ratcheer> techkid6: I tried irssi a few days ago. What a trip!
[00:54] <Nordom> ampd: yes there is
[00:54] <ampd> ratcheer: irssi is awesome...if you config it right
[00:54] <techkid6> it isnt that hard lol
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: in windows, how do you install a .zip file?
[00:54] <ratcheer> ampd: I was using it because I had Gentoo up with no X
[00:54] <ampd> Nordom: navigate to the folder in terminal and type ./filename.sh
[00:55] <brophat> can someone explain to me how the download for matlab works
[00:55] <techkid6> that just changed what irssi page i was on
[00:55] <techkid6> maybe i forgot to use screen
[00:55] <techkid6> hmm
[00:55] <ampd> techkid6: what are you trying to change?
[00:55] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: click the .exe, but .exe convention doesn't really exist in linux unless your using wine
[00:55] <unless__> techkid6, http://blinkenshell.org/wiki/Howto/IRC
[00:55] <techkid6> windows in screen :)
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: there is no .exe  all I see are .c and .h files
[00:55] <techkid6> no, i know how to use irc
[00:55] <techkid6> i dont know how to use screen
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: same as in Ubuntu
[00:55] <Nordom> ampd: is there a way to do inside unity without terminal
[00:55] <ampd> brophat: octave is pretty easy to use, your professor probably wont provide support, but you'll be able to do the work
[00:56] <ampd> brophat: and most of the commands are similar
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: a 'tar.gz' file is just an archive, it tells us lterally NOTHING about the contents
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: what filename did you download and what do you actually want to install?
[00:56] <brophat> ampd will they know that the work was not done on matlab?
[00:56] <codeMonkey_> Hello all.  I wish to encrypt my Ubuntu hard disk in the following fashion: Unencrypted boot partition loads and asks for a password.  The system will then be unencrypted and boot properly.  I have a rsync clone of the drive that I can copy back over after the containers have been made.  Based on what I am lookin for, does anyone have any suggestions for what I use?
[00:56] <ampd> Nordom: you may be able to right click, go to properties > permissions > check the mark as executable then double click it
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: 'tar.gz' files can contain ANY file type be it images, source code, binaries or a mixture
[00:57] <ampd> brophat: it will have a different style
[00:57] <ampd> brophat: the code would be similar
[00:57] <Nordom> thank you ampd, I will try that
[00:57] <brophat> ok then i would get an F
[00:57] <ampd> Nordom: dont be afraid of the terminal, give it a try with the command
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: what filename do you have? Itmay be in the repos and then you can install it the normal way
[00:58] <ampd> brophat: you should talk to your teacher. they don't sound like they know what they're doing
[00:58] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: yes I understand that, but I dl'ed a program I wished to install, and was ask for an easy way to install said tar.gz without having to use terminal, no point using a GUI if you need to use terminal just to wipe ur own butt
[00:58] <brophat> ampd correct they don't know what they are doing
[00:58] <ampd> brophat: tell them you can do the work with a similar, free rpogram
[00:58] <brophat> ampd they are dumb
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: but what is the filename?
[00:59] <xangua> Nordom: you can also use the terminal to install programs from the repositorie ;)
[00:59] <Nordom> ampd: I am not afraid, just don't think it should be more work to install some archive then one or two clicks when you downloaded an archive with the express perpose of installing said software ;)
[01:00] <ampd> Nordom: fair enough, but if you do ever feel like diving into command line, you sould do it in one line of typing and zero clicks
[01:00] <ampd> *could
[01:01] <ring1> brophat, just buy it. the student basic version is only $100
[01:01] <Nordom> ampd: then I dont understand why websites host linux files if you just recall them from a repository

[01:02] <ampd> Nordom: they're not all in the repos
[01:02] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: the file is Komodo edit
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: sites usually host source which can then be compiles
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> !find komodo
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> gah
[01:02] <Nordom> http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit/downloads
[01:02] <Nordom> Is where I got the .tar
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: I may have found a PPA
[01:03] <ampd> ring1: thats not the point, there's no reason that the school shouldn't supply required software, or at least allow for free alternatives
[01:03] <ampd> ring1: especially when the most they're going to be doing is graphing some stuff
[01:03] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I do not know what lsb_realease -sc, I am still a ubuntu nub
[01:03] <MACscr> so my unity apps menu is empty. How can i recreate that?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: its a terminal command, press CTRL+ALT+T and run the command, what is the output please
[01:04] <ring1> ampd, if he needs it right now, he can only buy it or get the test version
[01:04] <codeMonkey_> Just a reminder, when someone is free I have a question about disk encryption :).  Patiently waiting
[01:04] <Nordom> percise
[01:05] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: precise*

[01:05] <brophat> I started installing matlab from the software center, but it did not complete because it requires matlab to already be installed. but now it is just stuck in a loop saying in progress and I see no way to abort it.
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: will install the app
[01:05] <ampd> ring1: true, but its's still crazy that they would forbid them from doing the work in octave
[01:05] <ampd> brophat: sudo apt-get purge matlab
[01:06] <ampd> brophat: pkill software-center first
[01:06] <brophat> ampd you know all this stuff or are just making it up as you go along? bahahahha
[01:06] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: how did you find that?
[01:06] <Danny6167> codeMonkey_, truecrypt may be able to provide for you. http://www.truecrypt.org/
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=komodo
[01:06] <ampd> brophat: i'm an engineer, i've used my share of matlab
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: duckduckgo has a handy bang for the PPAs :)
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: run the long command as one command, it will add the PPA and install the package
[01:07] <brophat> ampd software center still has matlab applying changes in progress
[01:07] <ampd> brophat: did you pkill software-center?
[01:08] <brophat> yes
[01:08] <ampd> brophat: and it's still open?
[01:08] <codeMonkey_> Danny6167: Truecrypt unfortunately only does this service for windows partitions from what I understand
[01:08] <brophat> ampd no i opened it after I did everything yuo said
[01:08] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I ran it, but ended with unable to locate package komodo-edit
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: instead of heading to websites and downloading archives, search the PPAs first, makes life easy
[01:08] <ampd> brophat: pkill it again, sudo apt-get purge matlab again, then sudo apt-get install matlab
[01:09] <ampd> brophat: then you should be able to see where it's hanging
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: did the PPA get added (did you press ENTER after the PPA textappeared when you ran the command)
[01:09] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: it is very strange to me to install programs in such a way
[01:09] <brophat> ampd i don't want to install. it does not install matlab it only installs an interface that makes matlab pretty
[01:09] <brightsparks> Am having a problem playing my own recorded mp4 videos. Youtube videos play fine but and videos I record my self with my camera are choppy when I try to play them in ubuntu 12.04. Does anyone know if there is a solution for this?
[01:09] <Nordom> what is PPA?
[01:10] <blackshirt> Nordom: personal package archives
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: its normal in ubuntu, windows has users running to websites to download stuff, ubuntu makes life easier ;)

[01:13] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I have already really enjoyed how ubuntu actually locates the files I need and updates them. Really like how slick Ubunut's software center is... basically feels like my OS is base in a cloud, and I just download what I need to my comp which is only a terminal
[01:13] <foobary> I'm trying to automate removing a package, but the package keeps popping up a prompt where you just have to hit ok.  How do I skip this, or feed it a preseed?

[01:24] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: Linux Constructs 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux <--- is my output
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: yep, same output. Let me grab you the deb and you can do it that way
[01:25] <MarconM> night
[01:26] <Danny6167> gerbilcabbagehai, As many as you want. If there is a limit its really really high as I have never hit it. You may want to look at the 'screen' tool though
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/komodo-edit_7.1.2%2B10678%7Ebuild2-1_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./komodo-edit_7.1.2%2B10678%7Ebuild2-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install; rm ./komodo-edit_7.1.2%2B10678%7Ebuild2-1_amd64.deb
[01:27] <gerbilcabbagehai> Danny6167: would i use screen on the client machine or server machine?
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: thats the deb from the PPA, just pushed it to my dropbox and made the link. Gotta love dropbox:)
[01:27] <Nordom> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 NOT FOUND  2012-09-21 10:27:11 ERROR 404: NOT FOUND. <--- I am using a tethered connect atm is that a probem?
[01:28] <Danny6167> you would ssh to the server and run screen on the server
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: give it time to duplicate, my upload is only something like 2Mbps
[01:28] <Danny6167> gerbilcabbagehai, http://kb.iu.edu/data/acuy.html may be a good read
[01:28] <Nordom> okay
[01:28] <gerbilcabbagehai> does screen requir x?
[01:29] <Danny6167> no
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: try now, just got the update on my laptop, so it'son the server
[01:30] <Nordom> while we wait, if I want to dl other stuff from PPA, how do I normal find what goes where? EXAMPLE: https://launchpad.net/~estewei/+archive/java <---- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oracle-java6-installer/ppa ???
[01:31] <gerbilcabbagehai> wow, screen is pretty cool
[01:31] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: it is now dling
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: coolies :)
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: you got it dude :). Adding PPAs is easy
[01:31] <MarconM> anyone work with design here, inkscape or gimp
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: plus, if the PPA gets updated, you will get the updates too
[01:32] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: so the command I wrote wroks? so I find the file name on the left side window box thingy and add /ppa at the end?
[01:34] <usr13> MarconM: Yes
[01:34] <usr13> gimp
[01:34] <MarconM> usr13: gimp or inkscape work with cmyj ?
[01:34] <MarconM> cmyk*
[01:34] <MarconM> color separations
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: yes, that's how you add PPAs. Simple days
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: the bit in bold :)
[01:36] <usr13> MarconM: I dono.  What are you tring to do?
[01:36] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: bit in bold?
[01:36] <MarconM> usr13: i am designer, corel draw, ilustrator, but i want to start make with ink
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: on the PPA pages, you got it right basically :)
[01:36] <usr13> MarconM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMYK_support_in_The_GIMP
[01:38] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: can you do me a favor and see if sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oracle-java6-installer/ppa works for you? I keep getting cannot access PPA check ur internet error
[01:38] <usr13> MarconM: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InkscapeColor
[01:38] <MarconM> usr13: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExportPDFCMYK
[01:38] <Nordom> I did run some update and haven't restarted so maybe that is causing the error
[01:39] <usr13> MarconM: Yep.  Looks like a go...
[01:39] <MarconM> yes .... is there a code written in portuguese
[01:39] <MarconM> to generate cmyk color
[01:39]  * MarconM is brazilian
[01:39] <usr13> MarconM: I dono.
[01:40] <MarconM> usr13: yes
[01:40] <usr13> Very good....
[01:40] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: from your dropbox stuff we were doing I got this http://pastie.org/4766995
[01:40] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I will be back, I am going to restart to make sure its not the updates
[01:42] <f00dMonsta> wut's a good shell to use for a Ubuntu VM (from Windows)?
[01:42] <f00dMonsta> requirements: lightweight, functional
[01:42] <usr13> foobary: putty
[01:42] <usr13> foobary: Oh, VM... sorry
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: how do you mean shell?
[01:42] <f00dMonsta> like a desktop environment :x
[01:43] <usr13> foobary:  Vbox I suppose.  I dono, I only do it from the other direction.
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: so yuo want a lightweight desktop for Ubuntu?
[01:43] <f00dMonsta> yes please
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: lxde is pretty light, uses openbox as WM
[01:44] <f00dMonsta> kk i'll try that out
[01:44] <f00dMonsta> thx
[01:44] <usr13> ActionParsnip: tnx
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> usr13: any time :)
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: use: sudo dpkg -i ~/kom*.deb; sudo apt-get -f install     it will install
[01:45] <ratcheer> +1 for Openbox / LXDE
[01:45] <f00dMonsta> I'm sad cos I had to give up on making Ubuntu work 100% on my laptop
[01:45] <f00dMonsta> so I"m stuck using it via a VM
[01:45] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: thx I am doing it now
[01:47] <usr13> f00dMonsta: What was the problem?
[01:47] <impala> TMD-moviez
[01:47] <f00dMonsta> optimus
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> ratcheer: could just run openbox, super light :)
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: ah
[01:48] <f00dMonsta> and needing to do stuff with visual studio
[01:48] <ratcheer> Yes, that's how I run Arch.
[01:49] <f00dMonsta> so I should install Lubuntu or Ubuntu then install LXDE?
[01:49] <ratcheer> But I run LXDE on Sabayon and Siduction.
[01:49] <usr13> f00dMonsta: http://geek.co.il/wp/2012/02/19/nvidia-optimus-on-ubuntu-12-04
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: i'd just install Lubuntu, its decent
[01:49] <ratcheer> f00dMonsta: Just install Lubuntu
[01:49] <f00dMonsta> ok
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: is it installing ok?
[01:49] <tomreyn> visual studio runs fine in a VM for me
[01:50] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I think It finished
[01:50] <usr13> f00dMonsta: Yea, cut to the chase.  Install Lubuntu.  But I dono, I use Xubuntu and seems pretty light-weight to me.  Not sure though.
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: cool, searh your menus / dash etc
[01:50] <usr13> Do you know ActionParsnip?  Lubuntu < Xubuntu?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> usr13: yeah lighter. I think Xubuntu is losing its light edge
[01:51] <iFlip> Does anyone here know PHP - tried the channel but they are quiet.
[01:51] <usr13> Ok...
[01:51] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I found komdo in dash, how do I launch it? I click button and nothing happens
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> usr13: the Lubuntu guys are more dilligent imo
[01:51] <f00dMonsta> tomreyn: I couldn't get it to work properly
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: try running it from a terminal
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: you can delete the deb file you downloaded too :)
[01:52] <f00dMonsta> to be honest, I like Ubuntu, but to get everything working 100% takes way too much effort and i dun have the time
[01:52] <f00dMonsta> so i'm going to use both Windows and Ubuntu
[01:52] <Maksim> can anyone tell me if I am using the default version of java or not? I think I may have installed a different version 2 weeks ago when I first installed ubuntu for the first time
[01:52] <f00dMonsta> but since I have Optimus card, and Windows works much better that way, I decided to use Windows as base OS
[01:52] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: I found it, but when I alt tab there is an ivinsible icon same with my tool bar on the left side just a blank cap between icons but if I click it will open the app same with the alt tab
[01:53] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: How do I delete the deb?
[01:53] <tomreyn> f00dMonsta: have you ever measured the time it took to get from scratch to a windows system (incl. applications) which "works 100%"?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: you just need to run the learning curve. Its just different
[01:53] <f00dMonsta> I know
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: use nautilus
[01:53] <f00dMonsta> that's why I even tried Ubuntu in the first place
[01:53] <Nordom> nautilus?
[01:53] <Maksim> Can anyone help me with this java issue?
[01:53] <f00dMonsta> but neither can satisfy me 100%, so I'm gonna use both
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: something being different doesn't make it hard, just makes it different
[01:54] <tomreyn> !ask | Maksim
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: when you browse files using the file browser, that program is called nautilus
[01:54] <blackshirt> maksicm, maybe better you describe it more detail :d
[01:54] <Maksim> OK, I think I may be using a non-standard or non-default version of Java and I want to revert it back to default if I am.
[01:55] <blackshirt> uninstall it
[01:55] <Maksim> I don't know how to do that.
[01:55] <blackshirt> And install that come from repository
[01:55] <tomreyn> Maksim: how di you install it?
[01:55] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: U mean the alt tab icons is called nautilus? Like win7 is aero or something?
[01:55] <blackshirt> maksim, i don't where come from your java
[01:55] <Maksim> I used google and wrote what I found to install openjdk (i think). Is that the default?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: no, when you see files and folders in a window, that app is called nautilus
[01:56] <Nordom> ah
[01:56] <Maksim> maks@ubuntu:~$ java -version
[01:56] <Maksim> java version "1.6.0_24"
[01:56] <Maksim> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.4) (6b24-1.11.4-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)
[01:56] <Maksim> OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
[01:57] <blackshirt> openjdk was available on repository
[01:57] <blackshirt> !openjdk
[01:57] <Nordom> back to the ppa stuff, http://pastie.org/4767428 getting this error
[01:57] <David7> Maksim, Do you want the JDK or the JRE?
[01:57] <Maksim> This program I use has a problem with openjdk is it a bad java?
[01:57] <blackshirt> !java
[01:58] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: I've tried, spent more than 100hrs trying to get stuff working in Ubuntu. Got alot working but, some key things I needed were not up to par... U should understand the pain I felt when I had to overwrite Ubuntu with Windows :<
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> Nordom: do you use a proxy for web acces?
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: those that used it in the early days (like myself) had it so much harder, you'd have really struggled then :)
[01:59] <Maksim> ubottu I use openjdk i guess as you saw above. in this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/jin/forums/forum/166175/topic/3776004 the guy says it's the java.
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: mind you windows used to be the same. Did you use win3.1 ?
[01:59] <Nordom> ActionParsnip: no but using easytether to tether my phone to pc to give me internet.... trying to actually root the sucker, but it has gave me nothing but problems, tried windows yesterday without it working, and since I have been duel booting linux, figured maybe it would work better in linux...
[01:59] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: I understand :P I just don't think Ubuntu is at the level where WIndows users can just let go and start using Ubuntu
[01:59] <sargennto> Hello.. I have a fresh install of 12.04 and am getting errors that stop me from upgrading.. the error has to do with "/var/cache/apt/archives/libisc83_1%3a9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.3_i386.deb"
[02:00] <David7> Maksim, the JDK is used to develop Java applications. You need the JRE to run Java applications.
[02:00] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: yes I used win3.1... never did much with it other than minesweeper and other games tho lol
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: the troubleshooting mentality isn't that different, just takes a while to adjust
[02:00] <Maksim> david7 what do i Do?
[02:00] <Nordom> that IDE, was for me though since I have been trying to move to linux for my coding for a while now, although havent had much chance to actually code in it yet :(
[02:00] <Scunizi> What's available to do remote connections to a Vbox VM within the same lan?
[02:00] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: well i haven't completely abandonned linux
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: ahh you won't know the hell it was then changing himem.sys and such to get stuff out of himem to get games to work
[02:01] <f00dMonsta> since I'm gonna use it as a VM
[02:01] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: now that you mention it... i remember doing stuff like that
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: even new windows has dumb stuff to contend with, every OS sucks dude
[02:01] <usr13> f00dMonsta: I must be pretty lucky, I've done quite a few trouble free installs.
[02:01] <f00dMonsta> usr13: The install was perfectly fine
[02:02] <David7> Maksim, Don't you want to run # sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre ?
[02:02] <f00dMonsta> usr13: I just needed some functionality that windows does with ease but not on ubuntu
[02:02] <f00dMonsta> optimus being one of them
[02:02] <Maksim> david7 I don't know do i ? I dont want to develop. i'm just a user
[02:02] <Maksim> david7 i dont understand this well
[02:02] <David7> Maksim, That would get you the latest version of the JRE
[02:03] <Maksim> david7 shoudl I uninstall the jdk?
[02:03] <Maksim> david7 and if so how?
[02:03] <tomreyn> sargennto: "has to do with" is insufficient, i'm afraid. please post the entire output and command you ran to a pastebin
[02:03] <David7> Maksim, Are you sure you have the JDK installed?
[02:03] <tomreyn> !paste | sargennto
[02:03] <Maksim> maks@ubuntu:~$ java -version
[02:03] <Maksim> java version "1.6.0_24"

[02:04] <tomreyn> Scunizi: any vnc client, if you want graphical output
[02:04] <Maksim> david7 did you see that?
[02:04] <sargennto> tomreyn, sorry. The error I get when running apt-get upgrade >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217938/
[02:05] <MonkeyDust> Scunizi  you can also ssh from/to a virtual machine
[02:05] <usr13> f00dMonsta: Again, I must be pretty lucky at picking Linux friendly hardware.
[02:05] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I open a webpage in the default browser?
[02:05] <David7> Maksim, Run # dpkg --get-selections | grep jdk and paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the resulting link here
[02:05] <f00dMonsta> usr13: I didn't choose my laptop anticipating to use Linux :P
[02:05] <sargennto> tomreyn, and when I run apt-get -f install like it suggest I get the following error >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217941/
[02:05] <wendell> some brasilan here?
[02:05] <f00dMonsta> usr13: it was just a cheap deal
[02:05] <MonkeyDust> !br
[02:06] <bazhang> wendell, in #ubuntu-br
[02:06] <Maksim> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217942/
[02:06] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I open a webpage in the default browser?
[02:06] <usr13> DarkAceLaptop: firefox google.com
[02:06] <blackshirt> darckacerlaptop, i don't know what you mean ...
[02:06] <David7> Maksim, You do not have the JDK installed, you have the JRE installed: You are good to go
[02:06] <DarkAceLaptop> usr13, that's firefox
[02:06] <DarkAceLaptop> not default
[02:07] <Maksim> david7 How come when I do java -jar it says openjdk?
[02:07] <usr13> DarkAceLaptop: What exactly are you trying to do?
[02:07] <Maksim> i mean java -0version
[02:07] <Maksim> -version*
[02:07] <bazhang> DarkAceLaptop, whats the point of this
[02:07] <DarkAceLaptop> default can be set in Preferred Applications
[02:07] <usr13> DarkAceLaptop: (I don't think I understand your question.)
[02:07] <David7> Maksim, Because someone make a poor decision when they named the package
[02:08] <Maksim> david7 ah okay. thanks david..
[02:08] <DarkAceLaptop> firefox might be their default, but what if it's Chromium or Opera?
[02:08] <bazhang> DarkAceLaptop, whats the point of this
[02:08] <tomreyn> sargennto: run this: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[02:08] <DarkAceLaptop> ah, nevermind
[02:08] <tomreyn> sargennto: do you still have errors then?
[02:08] <Maksim> is openjdk the default / best ?
[02:08] <MonkeyDust> DarkAceLaptop  I set chromium as default, no problem
[02:09] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, he's gone
[02:09] <|Anthony|> here is the summary of my attempt at getting multiseat pulseaudio:
[02:09] <|Anthony|> http://pastebin.com/AsAjQTcy
[02:09] <|Anthony|> please review and advise
[02:09] <David7> Maksim, I believe it is the default, but I don't know if it is the best
[02:09] <Maksim> david7 but it is not the 'sun' version?
[02:09] <bazhang> !java | Maksim have a read
[02:10] <Maksim> alright
[02:10] <^fyp^> is there a lftp gui frontend for amd64 ?
[02:10] <^fyp^> i can only find one for 32 bit linux
[02:10] <^fyp^> even with my 32 bit libraries installed
[02:10] <^fyp^> wont work
[02:10] <sargennto> tomreyn, that seemd to have fixed it. thank you very much
[02:10] <^fyp^> says i need python:i386, can't install it since its apparently conflicting with python2.7
[02:11] <tomreyn> sargennto: be sure to always run "sudo apt-get update" before installing new packages
[02:11] <sargennto> tomreyn, will do tyvm. brb rebooting
[02:11] <^fyp^> its sad i need to use CrossOver to use cuteftp because no other linux ftp app will do segmented downloading
[02:11] <^fyp^> other than lftp that is
[02:11] <MonkeyDust> !brainstorm| ^fyp^
[02:12] <^fyp^> uhm...ok
[02:12] <^fyp^> MonkeyDust : what ?
[02:13] <MonkeyDust> ^fyp^  maybe someone likes the idea and picks it up
[02:13] <WeThePeople> hi is their a ffmpeg support channel?
[02:13] <^fyp^> oh right
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: nautilus can connect to FTP
[02:13] <^fyp^> it doesn't do segmented downloading
[02:13] <^fyp^> that's the main reason i want a lftp gui
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: gftp? filezilla/
[02:13] <^fyp^> nope
[02:13] <^fyp^> they dont do that
[02:14] <^fyp^> only lftp does
[02:14] <^fyp^> so i use CrossOver for cuteftp
[02:14] <^fyp^> it actually works well
[02:14] <FloodBot1> ^fyp^: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:14] <^fyp^> but i'd rather have a gui for lftp
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: seems a bit OTT for an FTP client
[02:14] <^fyp^> ok, fine
[02:14] <^fyp^> OTT ?
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: what does segmented downloading do?
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: ott = over the top
[02:15] <^fyp^> uhm no
[02:15] <^fyp^> it's quite common
[02:15] <^fyp^> cuteftp does segmented downloading/uploading since a decade
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: but how is it different to normal FTP downloading do?
[02:15] <^fyp^> and the difference is dramatic
[02:15] <^fyp^> it increases speed a lot
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: how big are  the files you are actually downloading?
[02:16] <^fyp^> https://whatbox.ca/wiki/Multi-threaded_and_Segmented_FTP
[02:16] <^fyp^> see my seedbox provider's explanation
[02:16] <tomreyn> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_downloading
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: so it saves what? 20 seconds?
[02:16] <^fyp^> no
[02:16] <^fyp^> i go from 5mbps to 18mbps using segmentation
[02:16] <WeThePeople> is there a program to convert webm to avi of flv
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: but how big are the files?
[02:16] <WeThePeople> or
[02:17] <^fyp^> they can vary
[02:17] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  try avconv, but it cause loss of quality
[02:17] <^fyp^> see my seedbox provider's explanation, as i'm apparently flooding, lol, your bots are more sensitive than my znc's own really sensitive flood detection
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: surprised people stll use ftp, its so inefficient
[02:17] <^fyp^> uh..
[02:18] <^fyp^> lol
[02:18] <WeThePeople> sftp?
[02:18] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  it's avconv -i ladygaga.avi ladygaga.flv
[02:18] <^fyp^> if you want to bring home what you used on your seedbox
[02:18] <^fyp^> it's ftp
[02:18] <^fyp^> sftp results in slower speeds
[02:18] <^fyp^> i use ftps
[02:18] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, thanks
[02:18] <^fyp^> ftp with TLS/SSL
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: yeah, unencrypted transmission. Using 2 ports for the transfer.
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: let it die dude
[02:19] <^fyp^> actually i just said i'm using encrypted ftp here
[02:19] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, does it work with webm to avi?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: still uses 2 port
[02:19] <wildman330> Can anyone tell me what is the latest IcedTea plugin in the official repos?
[02:19] <^fyp^> no, you're a fucking retard is all, trying to derail my goddamn question into your idea that ftp is useless
[02:19] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  yeah, guess so
[02:19] <^fyp^> do you know what's a seedbox ?
[02:20] <^fyp^> bringing your stuff home requires ftp of some sort
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: look at TCP port 22 and what its used for, then look at TCP port 21
[02:20] <tomreyn> :)
[02:20] <^fyp^> the only other options is http, which is even more horrible
[02:21] <^fyp^> so don't talk about things you dont know about bud
[02:21] <Vivekananda> Hello Everyone. Could someone point me to some good beginner and advanced tutorials for shell scripting. I am looking to learn it to set up rsync with cron jobs
[02:21] <bazhang> ^fyp^, be civil
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: im just saying ftp uses 2 ports to do what it needs, so is wasteful
[02:21] <^fyp^> yeah, sure, but i call on subtle trolling when I see it bazhang
[02:21] <^fyp^> that's all
[02:21] <MonkeyDust> Vivekananda  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: the fact you have to manually add security to an old delapidated protocol is a sign it should not be used
[02:22] <^fyp^> and how does that help me ? your opinion is irrelevant
[02:22] <^fyp^> yes, i will have a seedbox and never bring home what i torrent
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: its not an opinion, its fact. Its not suitable, its like using telnet over the web
[02:22] <^fyp^> jsut because you think ftps is bad
[02:22] <Vivekananda> MonkeyDust. Does it go to advanced levels too?
[02:22] <MonkeyDust> Vivekananda  advanced: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: I host an SFTP and i upload to that securely using SSHFS
[02:22] <^fyp^> you're going on ignore dip---
[02:23] <^fyp^> sshfhs is still too slow
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> ^fyp^: one port, no config needed
[02:23] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, move on
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: done
[02:24] <Nordom> A little help please, I am trying to install a PPA from here https://launchpad.net/~upubuntu-com/+archive/sdk  -----> I did this ---> http://pastie.org/4768123 <------ is this correct? Do I need do something more?
[02:25] <MonkeyDust> Vivekananda  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[02:26] <Vivekananda> MonkeyDust, These sources you gave me, sorry to ask, but are these really good or are these the first ones that would turn up for me in a google search too?
[02:26] <tomreyn> Nordom: you successfully added this PPA to your APT sources
[02:26] <MonkeyDust> Vivekananda  i don't use google -- 'good' depends on how skilled you are
[02:27] <bazhang> !abs | Vivekananda
[02:27] <Nordom> tomreyn: Thank you for checking, I am not sore what a APT sources is though, do I still need to install it?
[02:27] <bazhang> Vivekananda, try in #bash
[02:27] <Nordom> I am not sure*
[02:28] <morgan_> How do I remove the blue tent from flash videos with Chromium 20 / Flash 11.2
[02:28] <Vivekananda> MonkeyDust , used the wrong word, :) , I meant authentic. bazhang and ubottu , thanks and I am on it
[02:28] <tomreyn> !apt | Nordom
[02:28] <bazhang> morgan_, fullscreen flash, then disable hw acceleration
[02:29] <tomreyn> Nordom: apt sources are where software you install with these tools comes from. they define which software is available using these utilities.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> morgan_: run:  gedit ~/.bashrc    and add:   export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1       save the new file and run:   source ~/.bashrc
[02:30] <tomreyn> Nordom: why did you add this PPA in the first place? usually people do this when they want to install some software which is not already available in ubuntu
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> morgan_: also run:   mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null
[02:30] <Nordom> tomreyn: its allready available?
[02:31] <morgan_> ActionParsnip, do that with what bazhang said? or just do what you say
[02:31] <Nordom> I am trying to install JDK + android SDK, no clue on either, just learned about using PPA for getting things
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> morgan_: i'd try the commands I gave. Source; http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue
[02:32] <tomreyn> Nordom: so by adding a PPA, you increase the sources from which software is pulled in to your system. by adding this PPA, you are now able to install the "android-sdk" package, which i think is what you are trying to do.
[02:33] <Nordom> tomreyn: now that I pulled it, how to I install it?
[02:34] <tomreyn> Nordom: to install this package, you now want to use !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) or just the shell by typing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install android-sdk
[02:35] <Nordom> thank you I am installing it now =)
[02:35] <gerbilcabbagehai> i need to undo a permissions thing I have just done in cli. I did sudo chown username:username . /var/www ; chmod 755 . ; chmod 644 /var/www
[02:35] <L3top> doesnt kde use muon?
[02:35] <chimney> help \o.o/
[02:35] <gerbilcabbagehai> how can i fix this?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> L3top: it can, not sure about default
[02:36] <chimney> I need help by getting my Logitech webcam running
[02:36] <morgan_> ActionParsnip, worked perfectly thank you :)
[02:36] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: which directory are you in? type: pwd
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> morgan_: np dude
[02:36] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: i am now in as sudo -s
[02:37] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: im in /var/www
[02:37] <chimney> its a logitech quickcam for notebooks it should work with the spca5xx driver, but the last tut is for hardy heron
[02:37] <L3top> ActionParsnip: on my 1204 kubu I have only muon, no adept or kpackagekit... just fyi
[02:37] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: are you still i the same directory now where you were when you ran the above comand?
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> L3top: cheers dude
[02:38] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: I am in the same one and im in there as root
[02:38] <chimney> L3top: o/
[02:38] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: im being very careful lol
[02:38] <chimney> need quickcam support
[02:39] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: maybe you are _now_, you weren't too careful when you decided to run some commands you found on some web page ;-)
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> chimney: does it work in cheese?
[02:39] <chimney> what cheese?
[02:39] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: exactly. how do i undo this?
[02:39] <chimney> cheesebooth?
[02:40] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: i'm working on it, give me a minute
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> !info cheese | chimney
[02:40] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: I was able to change the permissions to my username, so i thought i could do that to the entire directory.
[02:40] <Vivekananda> A couple of unrelated questions. I am running lucid lynx on my 6 yr old laptop. I just wanted to know if it is a good idea to upgrade to the next lts or not. I get the idea that it is not good to do it when very new coz of the bugs and issues. Is now a good time?
[02:40] <chimney> ActionParsnip: thanks I install it atm
[02:40] <maicod> how do I completely disable automounting ? the method suggested in many google results didnt disable autmounting
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Vivekananda: lubuntu and xubuntu use fer resources then Ubuntu
[02:41] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn:
[02:41] <gerbilcabbagehai> -rw-r--r--  1 username username  208 Sep 21 14:21 index.html

[02:41] <FloodBot1> gerbilcabbagehai: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:41] <blackshirt> Vivekananda: that's up to your needs
[02:41] <chimney> ActionParsnip: yes it does
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> chimney: always a good sign :)
[02:42] <chimney> yeah but the javascript can't get it
[02:43] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: chown root:root /var/www ; chmod 755 /var/www
[02:43] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: can you explain what it does? what is 755?
[02:43] <Vivekananda> blackshirt, could you elaborate plz. Does the newer version solve some specific or different needs as opposed to lucid. I mean what are the specifics I should consider when deciding. I was just going for the latest and the support period for the next few yrs.
[02:44] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: this will change ownership and permission of the /var/www directory back to what they are by default.
[02:44] <wildman330> can anyone tell me what the latest version of IcedTea plugin is?
[02:44] <wilee-nilee> !info icestea
[02:44] <wilee-nilee> !info icedtea
[02:45] <gerbilcabbagehai> thank you tomreyn. how did you work it out?
[02:46] <blackshirt> Vivekananda: yes, the newer version use different environment compared to old.. and maybe need some more capable hardware..thats commonly happen.
[02:47] <blackshirt> gerbilcabbagehai: that was a numerical representation of bit permission access
[02:47] <chimney> ActionParsnip: ok how I get it working with firefox?
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> chimney: not sure I don't usewebcams. I find them creepy
[02:47] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: 755 means that the owner (indicated by the first bit) of this file system object may read, write and execute (or change into, in case of a directory) it, the owning group (indicated by the second bit) may read and execute (or changeinto) it, and everyone else (third bit) may also read and execute / change into it.

[02:48] <frankyboy> hello all... i have question about DM Disk Editor and Data Recovery Software... i've scanned ntfs partition and looking atm on found files, but there are numbers in end of filenames... like system.abe[7] or system.abe[20]
[02:48] <frankyboy> any tip what do these numbers mean?
[02:49] <gerbilcabbagehai> *gulp* is it possible to disable write permissions of root, by rooting?
[02:49] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: i looked at how permissions and ownership of the /var/www directory are set up on another ubuntu system
[02:49] <frankyboy> version of app is dmde-prof-2.4.4-lin32
[02:50] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: i don't understand what you are trying to achieve, can you explain / ask differently?
[02:51] <tomreyn> frankyboy: this is #ubuntu
[02:51] <|Anthony|> i want to run pulseaudio in system mode. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide
[02:51] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn:   so, if I want to use sftp/filezilla to upload files to my web server, allow view/only access to guests and other users, but I can modify the files, what permissions do I need to set to the directory?
[02:51] <|Anthony|> the groups it lists there are already created
[02:51] <blackshirt> gerbilcabbagehai: you can use more powerfull security mechanism like SELinux
[02:51] <|Anthony|> it also says to adduser --system --ingroup pulse --home /var/run/pulse pulse
[02:51] <gerbilcabbagehai> blackshirt:  hmm?
[02:52] <|Anthony|> is this an issue with ubuntu
[02:52] <frankyboy> tomreyn, atm i am on xubuntu live usb
[02:52] <|Anthony|> and if so, how should i approach this?
[02:52] <gerbilcabbagehai> !SELinux > gerbilcabbagehai
[02:52] <gerbilcabbagehai>  !SELinux | gerbilcabbagehai
[02:53] <tomreyn> "DM Disk Editor And Data Recovery" is not an official Ubuntu package
[02:53] <tomreyn> frankyboy: ^
[02:54] <frankyboy> i see...
[02:54] <frankyboy> thanks for answer... see ya :)
[02:54] <tomreyn> |Anthony|: i don't think SELinux is really what gerbilcabbagehai is looking for now
[02:54] <gerbilcabbagehai> I dont think so either
[02:54] <gerbilcabbagehai> I wouldn't know what its for
[02:55] <|Anthony|> why was that directed at me?
[02:56] <tomreyn> |Anthony|: because i'm tired and can't read properly
[02:56] <blackshirt> gerbilcabbagehai: I think you should learn basic security access mechanism on linux, that's commonly called DAC
[02:56] <|Anthony|> i'm asking questions about pulseaudio in system-wide mode
[02:56] <|Anthony|> hehe
[02:56] <|Anthony|> lol tomreyn
[02:56] <gerbilcabbagehai> but...why blackshirt?
[02:56] <gerbilcabbagehai> it's all secured, all I need to do is enable change permissions only for me.
[02:57] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: is your web server on a server you fully control, or is this a shared host, where several people host their websites on?
[02:57] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: my own. on a box behind my router/firewall
[02:58] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: im setting up a home server to serve media. i want to be able to upload to my server, without worrying about what others can modify, while still allowing them access to the files via http
[02:59] <iFlip> Is there a way to make an Apache WebDAV access drives on another computer on the same LAN
[02:59] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: you should set up a restricted user (i.e. non-root user, like "gerbilcabbagehai") on your web server. then configure your web server to load the files from your home directory.
[03:00] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: I have the first, how do i do the second?
[03:01] <jetsaredim> is there a way to clone my install onto a new hard drive?
[03:01] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: the only reason i was in root before was to repair the permission mistake i did before
[03:01] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: everything else is done under my username on the server
[03:01] <cliff_roberts> gerbilcabbagehai: if you are using sftpd as your ftp server, you can allow anonymous access with read only permissions
[03:02] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai:  place the files in e.g. /home/gerbilcabbagehai/htdocs and instruct your webserver to read them from there. how to do that exactly depends on the webserver you're using.
[03:02] <blackshirt> gerbilcabbagehai: that very basic mechanism, I think above security measure would rely on dac ...
[03:03] <gerbilcabbagehai> blackshirt: what would i look up? ubuntu dac gives me digital audio converters and not the security you are talking about
[03:03] <gerbilcabbagehai> !dac
[03:04] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: if you are using apache httpd as a web server then the easiest thing you can do is this: sudo a2enmod userdir
[03:04] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: what does that do?
[03:04] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: then create a directory below your home directory which is called public_html
[03:04] <gerbilcabbagehai> !a2enmod | gerbilcabbagehai
[03:05] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: then place any files you want to make accessible for download in this directory
[03:05] <blackshirt> gerbilcabbagehai: dac = discreatory access control
[03:05] <Braber01> Question, will sudo apt-get install girlfiend, work on my machine?
[03:06] <gerbilcabbagehai> Braber01: not unless you uninstall any previous versions
[03:06] <iFlip> Braber01 you gotta run dpkg first
[03:07] <Braber01> and could somebody write a man page for "punk rock woman"?
[03:08] <gerbilcabbagehai> Braber01: are you wanting to man up on women?
[03:08] <Braber01> yes, I think we all need a man page on women
[03:08] <Braber01> heck I need a manpage for myself
[03:08] <gerbilcabbagehai> Braber01: avoid any script containing kill bill
[03:08] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: put (very) simply, permissions set on these files do not really matter for users accessing your web server unless you have configured your webserver to run additional commands (through CGI or by means of scripting langauges or SSI) on your computer.
[03:09] <iFlip> Anyone know about Apache WebDAV accessing network drives on other machines
[03:09] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: my later plans include allowing people to upload, but not change or modify any existing file
[03:09]  * Braber01 questions why the linux mint help channel doens't have a ubuttu clone.
[03:10] <Braber01> on spotchat.
[03:10] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: i.e. as long as remote users have no way to run commands on your computer by accessing the webserver (and by default they cannot) then you don't really have to care about the file system permissions there.
[03:10] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: okay, uploading is a different matter, you'll need to be more careful there, but that's really too much to discuss here.
[03:11] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: fillazilla cannot do sudo, so I want to make those directorys to allow me access when I login via filezilla
[03:11] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: you should consult the manuals of whatever you'll use to provide the upload functionality, and take a close look on any security hints there
[03:12] <gerbilcabbagehai> I know how to upload, I just dont know what permissions I should set the directories and files of /var/www to
[03:12] <gerbilcabbagehai> I tried to do that before and nobody could access the /www file anymore
[03:12] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: if you use filezilla using the sftp protocol and authenticate as a restricted user then you will have access to your home directory already, and can place file there.
[03:13] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: so im over thinking the issue?
[03:13] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: if you additionaly configure mod_userdir then files you place in the public_html subdirectory of your home directory will become available via the webserver
[03:13] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: then there's no need to make any changes to permissions
[03:14] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: files would just need to be readable and directories both readable and executable by you
[03:15] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: if you use mod_userdir then you don't need to fiddl ewith /var/www at all
[03:15] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn:  which they are (writeable by me) in the home directory...i see. i think
[03:15] <tomreyn> https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html
[03:16] <sargennto> Hello. Fresh 12.04 install here. Have had some problems I never had before. Cannot get my sound working.. Not getting any errors. Checked alsamixer, nothing is muted. Not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?
[03:17] <dewnix> sargennto: it wouldn't happen to be a toshiba laptop, would it?
[03:17] <sargennto> dewnix, nope. dell desktop
[03:18] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: so if your username onthe server is "gerbilcabbagehai" then you would login as this user and do this: sudo a2enmod userdir && mkdir ~/public_html && echo 'I place my files here to make them available on the web' > ~/public_html/index.html
[03:18] <scanwinder> Hi, does anybody here have experience with cluster ssh? I'm trying to connect to a number of machines in a lab and want to find a way to only need to enter the password once rather than in every window(the accounts are the same on all machines)
[03:18] <OerHeks> sargennto, did audio work before?
[03:18] <wildman330> !icedtea
[03:19] <wildman330> !info icedtea
[03:19] <dewnix> sargennto: well i don't use unity, gnome, or kde but in previous gnome versions i always had to pick the right output speakers
[03:19] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: once that's done you would have a file /home/gerbilcabbagehai/public_html/index.html which could be access via http at http://YOURSERVERIP/~gerbilcabbagehai/index.html
[03:19] <wildman330> !info icedtea-7-plugin
[03:20] <tomreyn> wildman330: you can also /query ubottu
[03:21] <tomreyn> just a hint for the future
[03:21] <wildman330> It says I have the latest version but I dont..
[03:21] <wildman330> I have both OpenJDK 6 and 7 on my system.
[03:21] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: Module userdir already enabled. I did the first a2enmod
[03:21] <wildman330> How can I get rid of 6 and just use 7?
[03:21] <RyanP> scanwinder: I use clusterssh, but I use keys.. can't you just type the password into the command box?
[03:21] <dewnix> sargennto: http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/1548/screenshotsoundpreferen.png
[03:21] <tomreyn> wildman330: uninstall openjdk 6
[03:21] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: so you have less to do
[03:22] <wildman330> tomreyn it says it is not installed.  Which package do I need to uninstall?
[03:23] <tomreyn> wildman330: how did you install it?
[03:23] <wildman330> tomreyn I know I have it because sudo update-alternatives --config java tells me I have both
[03:23] <wildman330> I dont remember how I installed it or why
[03:23] <scanwinder> RyanP: I don't seem to be getting a command box. I have been putting commands in using the -a flag, which doesn't seem to work for passwords. I just get a window for each machine
[03:23] <tomreyn> wildman330: if you don't have a package installed then that would indicate you installed it using some unsupported method.
[03:25] <wildman330> tomreyn no, I never install outside of repos
[03:25] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: im having trouble finding the address. http://192.168.1.3/~changedusername/public_html
[03:26] <RyanP> scanwinder: I just tried typing 'cssh host1 host2' and got three windows, one for each host and one for commands. You sure you're not getting that?
[03:27] <MACscr> ok, so i have my system setup to auto login at boot and i use synergy to control it. Im trying to switch to gnome shell and i logged out, but forgot now that i logged out that i dont have synergy access. I cant reboot the system as i have a few things running that i cant interrupt. How can i switch the desktop to gnome shell through an ssh contection?
[03:27] <Captain_Claw> Hi. Ubuntu 12.04 question: how do I move a particular file to another workspace?  I tried Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys but it didn't work.
[03:27] <wildman330> tomreyn I just need to know how to get Java up to the latest version because there are major security updates I need.
[03:28] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: replace the ip address by whatever you normally use to access your webserver
[03:28] <MACscr> Captain_Claw: right click on the file and move it to the other desktop
[03:28] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: that ip is what i usually use
[03:28] <Captain_Claw> MACscr: I don't get that option when I right click.  It's a PDF file.
[03:29] <raket> so.i tried ubuntu the other day. why does it take almost 35sec from boot to X ?
[03:29] <scanwinder> RyanP: Haha, I do get it, I just didn't recognise it as a command window. Thanks!
[03:29] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: i haven't set up dns, because it's behind a firewall, and only going to be visible to my own home, not accesible through net
[03:29] <RyanP> scanwinder: Good. Welcome.
[03:29] <MACscr> raket: what time would you expect?
[03:30] <raket> MACscr: 5 seconds.
[03:30] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: http://192.168.1.3/~changedusername/public_html/index.html doesnt work either
[03:31] <MACscr> raket: you are a fool
[03:31] <raket> why?
[03:31] <raket> whats taking so long time?
[03:31] <MACscr> because no OS boots that fast from a cold boot
[03:31] <TheLordOfTime> raket, nothing in sanity boots in 5 seconds
[03:31] <ki7rw> gerbilcabbagehai: i got the language deal working on another computer but not on my wife's
[03:31] <tomreyn> wildman330: try this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge 'openjdk-.*' 'icedtea-?6-.*'
[03:32] <gerbilcabbagehai> nice ki7rw :) :(
[03:32] <raket> MACscr: so. how fast does your ubuntu machine boot from enter is pressed in grub2 till X starts?
[03:32] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: don't repeat 'public_html' in the URL
[03:32] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: so just http://192.168.1.3/~changedusername/index.html
[03:33] <gerbilcabbagehai> http://192.168.1.3/~sombody/index.html
[03:33] <ki7rw> gotta figure out why my wifes doesn't work - maybe try mv .kde4 .kde4old and then log out and back in?
[03:33] <MACscr> raket: hell if i know. I only have ubuntu running as a server
[03:33] <MACscr> about 20 to 45 seconds is reasonable
[03:33] <MACscr> er, but
[03:34] <gerbilcabbagehai> not working. I took that from filezilla modified -> sftp://username@192.168.1.3/home/username/public_html/index.html
[03:34] <wildman330> tomreyn ok that worked.  Now what do I do to install OpenJDK 7?
[03:35] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn:  is there a problem in my apache redirect?
[03:35] <MACscr> lol
[03:36] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: i don't know your apache configuration, so i could not tell. i think you should ask for help on configuraing apache http in #httpd
[03:36] <gerbilcabbagehai> tomreyn: thanks for your help so far. :)
[03:37] <tomreyn> wildman330: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
[03:38] <tomreyn> gerbilcabbagehai: you're welcome, good luck there
[03:38] <tomreyn> you're close
[03:39] <tomreyn> wildman330: the real issue with java browser plugins is that currently there is no secure version, all of them have vulnerabilities.
[03:40] <tomreyn> the latest one has fewer than earlier ones, though
[03:42] <wildman330> tomreyn yeah I know, I was just wondering how I got both OpenJDK 6 and 7 on my system
[03:43] <wildman330> tomreyn OK I just installed OpenJDK7 and Icedtea.  Whenever I test it on the Java test page in Chrome, the browser gives me an error "Java is out of date, do you want to run anyway"
[03:43] <tomreyn> wildman330: you can have both jdk's, and both jre's, i think you can even have oth browser plgins next to each other, but your web browsers will only use one of them, and which on e that will be will usually depend on the web browser
[03:43] <wildman330> tomreyn so is the repository java out of date or what?
[03:45] <Tohuw> I am trapped in an X session with no ability to send keyboard input. I do not wish to abort the session. I can input via mouse. What could I click to open via nautilus to perhaps regain keyboard input, or at least click to send keypresses (such as an onscreen keyboard?)
[03:45] <tomreyn> wildman330: chromium can only test the upstream version of your plugin, it cannot interpret which (security) patches may have been applied to it.
[03:46] <tomreyn> wildman330: so your java plugin could be safely patched thanks to the debian and ubuntu security teams, and chromium would still report its unsafe.
[03:46] <tomreyn> wildman330: same for firefox. in this very case, though, there is no safe version.
[03:47] <wildman330> tomreyn ok.  Well it says I have 1.7.0_07, which should be the latest version.  I dont know why Chrome disagrees
[03:49] <tomreyn> wildman330: maybe it just falsely assumes that because the installed version is vulnerable there must be a newer one which isn't
[03:49] <wildman330> tomreyn, in any case I am not worried, I use Chrome with 3 sandboxes.  I have IcedTea sandboxed with AA as well
[03:51] <__somsip> Kernel updates aren't working. I mount one drive (sda1) as / and another on /boot (sda2). Somehow sda1 has gained a /boot directory with files in. When I upgrade kernels, the files go to sda2. But when i boot, the grub menu seems to be built from sda1/boot. On live CD now. Is it just safe to rm -rf sda1/boot/* ??
[03:55] <linocisco> hi all
[03:56] <linocisco> is there any LDAP like settopbox so that windows clients can authenticate and see their designated folder and their roaming home folders?
[04:01] <lahwran> anyone know of a file manager that doesn't shit itself on large numbers of previewed files?
[04:01] <unless> How do I reduce font size at the server ?
[04:02] <lahwran> what does that mean
[04:02] <unless> I need to reduce the screen font of a Ubuntu Server prompt.
[04:03] <icedtea> lahwran: the midnight commander? or ls? :D
[04:03] <lahwran> I want something that shows previews
[04:03] <icedtea> hrm dunno
[04:06] <Vivekananda> is there a way that I can see my chat history here for ubuntu channel?
[04:07] <unless> It depends on your client, sometimes you get to activate it by hand.
[04:07] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[04:08] <maheanuu> I have a question, why would every one of my USB pen drives suddenly go "read only"?
[04:09] <unless> How do I reduce the font size from my Ubuntu Server ?
[04:09] <Vivekananda> my client is Xchat for ubntu
[04:10] <Vivekananda> tomreyn I am there but how do I locate which file to view coz there is no file named #ubuntu only
[04:10] <unless> You have to set ti on setting to activate channel log
[04:10] <tomreyn> maheanuu: i assume this could happen if your usb hub isn't providing sufficient power
[04:10] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: there is. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/09/21/%23ubuntu.html
[04:11] <unless> there is also a button to drive you to the right dir where the logs are
[04:11] <tomreyn> unless: how are you connecting to your ubuntu server?
[04:12] <unless> tomreyn, I have a Ubuntu Server intalled
[04:12] <maheanuu> tomreyn, I was using the drive earlier and it suddenly went read only, I had 2 others here that I tried and they are read only also, I never set any that way
[04:12] <unless> installed*
[04:12] <Vivekananda> on that page I dont see my earlier dialogue in #ubuntu channel.
[04:12] <Vivekananda> Like 2 hrs earlier
[04:12] <unless> of course not
[04:12] <unless> it will activate from now on
[04:12] <maheanuu> tomreyn, I am not using a hub I am looking at them one at a time and all worked earlier
[04:13] <unless> I need to reduce font size.
[04:13] <tomreyn> unless: that'd understood, but not an answer to my question ;-) do you use ssh, putty, something else? which operating system is the computer you're connecting from running?
[04:13] <Vivekananda> tomreyn I got it thanks
[04:13] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: this internet address i posted cntains a calendar date in reverse notation.
[04:14] <tomreyn> :)
[04:14] <unless> tomreyn, I have Ubuntu Server installed on this machine. It is a server. It runs bash from starting.
[04:14] <unless> But the font is too huge, and I need it small
[04:17] <Vivekananda> tomreyn I got it thanks. The one question I ask and am confused quite often is for example I am installing abs-guide now coz I need it now but in a few days i wont and then how do I know what programs I have installed already on my laptop and also what did I install something for
[04:17] <tomreyn> maheanuu: you could check your syslog and dmesg, or just reboot your pc and see if it helps. maybe there was a small power loss which triggered this situation.or maybe your power distribution unit is failing, check the voltages on your mainboard (your bios setup screen should be able to display those, as well as lm-sensors)
[04:19] <maheanuu> tomreyn,  already checked and all are within limits and I have since went to the hub which has a 5 amp power supply feeding it and samo samo
[04:19] <tomreyn> unless: so you're physically next to this server and you have a monitor connected to it and you want to have the display size decreased on this screen?
[04:20] <unless> tomreyn, yes, well, no, I need just to reduce the font size, the rest is black.
[04:21] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: there is software-center which can tell you what's already installed, sorted into categories. there's also synaptic and a couple other package managers which could tell.
[04:21] <tomreyn> !apt | Vivekananda
[04:22] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: to get a full list of all installed packages, run "dpkg -l" in a terminal window. to inspect previously installed packages, look at /var/log/apt/history.log
[04:23] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[04:23] <tomreyn> maheanuu: i really don't know then, sound like it could be a hardware issue
[04:23] <unless> !apt unless
[04:24] <icesword> !iphone
[04:24] <unless> !apt | unless
[04:24] <Nordom> how do u install mono?
[04:24] <Vivekananda> tomreyn sofware-centre , If I understand correctly only tells me about the gui packages installed. I am looking for the non gui ones . Also is !apt  a command ?
[04:25] <tomreyn> unless: sudo apt-get install console-setup
[04:26] <morgan_> i was able to add music to my ipod with the default player rhythmbox
[04:27] <unless> tomreyn, what is that ?
[04:27] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: if you type !apt here in the chat alone on a single line, then ubottu, the friendly channel bot, will consider this a command and respond to it. it is not a common command on ubuntu's command line interface, i.e. the linux shell, though.
[04:28] <tomreyn> unless: a command which installs a package which allows you to configure your console, which is what you seem to be interested in
[04:28] <Vivekananda> !apt
[04:28] <tomreyn> !info console-setup | unless
[04:33] <Vivekananda> tomreyn alos I installed abs-guide but how do I run it on the cmd
[04:34] <vp18> does anyone have Conky?if so why it doesnt read my wifi speeds?
[04:36] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: this is a book, i don't think it is meant ot be 'run'.
[04:36] <dean_> [C
[04:36] <beejeebus> i've just installed precise on a macbook air 5,2, and i'm having trouble getting the screen brightness controls to work. looking for pointers / things i should look at to debug this
[04:36] <Vivekananda> ooo ok so how do I open it? vi abs-guide?
[04:37] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: run "dpkg -L abs-guide" to get a list of all files which were placed on your computer when this package was installed
[04:38] <Vivekananda> tomreyn I meant that if it is a book how do I go through it like a tutorial or something
[04:39] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: i have not used it before, but based on the files it contains, which are mostly html and shell skript files in an 'examples' subdirectory, you seem to be supposed to point your web browser to file:///usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/ to get started
[04:40] <Vivekananda> oo got it. I thought vi could open html too but I guess not.
[04:40] <Vivekananda> thanks
[04:40] <tomreyn> it can open it, but it won't interpret it.
[04:46] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: have fun learning shell skripting. if i was to recommend adidtional resources, i'd point you to #bash here on freenode as well as well as the bash related pages on this wiki http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ (a great resource)
[04:49] <Vivekananda> tomreyn thanks

[04:53] <simplew> ubuntu alternative cd already provides AES XTS encryption?
[04:54] <BlackDalek> Hi.. does anyone here know anything about using Libre Office Base? The #libreoffice channel is alseep so cannot get any help in that channel.
[04:55] <unless> tomreyn, thank you man!
[04:56] <tomreyn> Vivekananda. unless: You're both welcome. ;-)
[04:58] <tomreyn> simplew: for dm-crypt / LUKS, you mean? i think it should, but don't quote me on that.
[04:58] <tomreyn> simplew: try running it in a virtualbox VM to find out
[04:58] <simplew> tomreyn: in 12.01 there was not XTS
[04:59] <tomreyn> simplew: you mean in january 2012?
[04:59] <simplew> the one before 12.04
[05:00] <tomreyn> simplew: ubuntu 11.10 then, yes i think so, too.
[05:00] <simplew> tomreyn: sorry but that is not true
[05:01] <simplew> i see there only AES CBC encryption
[05:01] <simplew> theres no AES XTS, and AES CBS has severall holes
[05:01] <tomreyn> simplew: hmm, that's sad.
[05:01] <simplew> mean CBC
[05:02] <tomreyn> simplew: i wouldn't call those "holes"
[05:02] <somsip> Could some who runs LAMP do a ls -ltr /var/log and paste it so I can reset permissions on some dirs I deleted. Thanks
[05:02] <simplew> whatever you wana call it
[05:02] <tomreyn> XTS has its weak spots, too
[05:03] <simplew> tomreyn: im sorry?!?, point them
[05:04] <simplew> im not even going to discuss that
[05:05] <tomreyn> simplew: well then i guess i don't need to do so either
[05:05] <tomreyn> should you change your mind, visit wikipedia
[05:06] <tomreyn> it's not always a good resource, but its good enough in this case.
[05:06] <eukreign> i'm trying to understand how drupal7 that comes from the official repository is setup and how to use it, i want to configure it with nginx instead of apache. the default configuration is for apache.
[05:07] <eukreign> drupal also gets installed into /usr/share/
[05:07] <eukreign> rather, /var/www is empty
[05:07] <eukreign> what is the process of setting up a new site?
[05:08] <eukreign> a www.foobar.com that would run on drupal
[05:08] <somsip> eukreign: much better to ask in a #drupal channel.
[05:08] <eukreign> i did, they weren't even aware that there was an official drupal package for Ubuntu
[05:09] <eukreign> and most of the guides i'm finding for drupal on ubuntu assume installing from source and directly into /var/www
[05:09] <simplew> tomreyn: you really should read this http://clemens.endorphin.org/nmihde/nmihde-A4-os.pdf
[05:09] <somsip> eukreign: you want to set up and use drupal? that seems to be the issue, rather than whether it was sourced from a ubuntu repo or not?
[05:10] <tuxmatt> hey all
[05:10] <eukreign> yes, i want to use drupal that came from official repo
[05:10] <eukreign> but with nginx and not apache
[05:11] <eukreign> and i don't understand the organization/structure of the official drupal Ubuntu package
[05:11] <eukreign> it's very different from what you get when you install from source
[05:11] <tuxmatt> what you need help with man
[05:12] <tomreyn> eukreign: it's rather common for web applications packaged for debian / ubuntu to be installed below /usr/share. it's usually discussed in the accompanying documentation (/usr/share/doc/packagename/) how this web application need to be used with various web servers. in most cases apache is assumed, but configuration for other web servers is often similar.
[05:13] <eukreign> tomreyn, thanks for that tip
[05:14] <eukreign> tomreyn, there aren't really any docs in there
[05:15] <eukreign> just something about how to build the database and that's about it
[05:15] <eukreign> and then a generic drupal readme
[05:15] <tomreyn_> simplew: so, to clarify, you read and understood this paper, right?
[05:15] <simplew> its quite clear about the CBC issues
[05:16] <tomreyn> simplew: i was thinking your plan was to point out that XTS had none
[05:18] <simplew> tomreyn: the question i psoted was about if the alternative CD was still using the old AES CBC of if had already moved or at least allow XTS usage
[05:18] <eukreign> tomreyn, everything i'm finding on installing/using Drupal basically says to extract the source tarball into /var/www/somesite.com and then setup the webserver to point there
[05:19] <eukreign> so the part i'm unclear about is how can i use the default ubuntu/debian installation structure
[05:19] <tomreyn> eukreign: then i'm afraid you will need to write the nginx configuration snippet based on the one provided for apache on your own, or search the web for how others did it.
[05:19] <Vivekananda> tomreyn so after I finish learning shell script and cron jobs I am still not sure if I will be able to set up a backup rsync system where if it does not run at a specific time it pops up an error whenever I next switch on the system or sth

[05:21] <CellTech> Do linux have a speech to text program?
[05:21] <tuxmatt> CellTech,  if they do i never heard of it
[05:22] <tuxmatt> CellTech, try to google it and see what comes up
[05:22] <CellTech> tuxmatt Yeah I was just gonna say. I'll keep searching, and if I find one. I'll come back and tell you all about it.. Thanks
[05:23] <somsip> CellTech: there are some but they tend to need piecing together from a few sources. Last time I looked anyway. DragonNS can work in wine (some versions)
[05:23] <tomreyn> Vivekananda: you will also need to read the rsync man page, and possibly something on how you make such messages pop up. but besides that, you may well be able to do so by then.
[05:23] <Vivekananda> kk thanks
[05:24] <tomreyn> tuxmatt:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech
[05:24] <kaio> any nfs experts ?
[05:24] <tomreyn> !ask kaio
[05:25] <tuxmatt> tomreyn,  i was atelling someone that i never heard of a text to speech software for linux
[05:25] <tomreyn> !ask | kaio
[05:25] <Vivekananda> !patience
[05:26] <tomreyn> tuxmatt: yes, so, just in case he returns and you want to tell him then, there's this web page which has some.
[05:26] <tuxmatt> kaio talking about the filesystem?
[05:26] <kaio>  i am trying to mount my 2nd drive which is /dev/sda5  mounted to /SecondDrive   when i export this and another /ubuntushare i dont see files in /SEcondDrive
[05:27] <kaio> my backend is ubuntu and client is mac
[05:28] <blackshirt> kaio, what are you trying to setup?
[05:28] <tuxmatt> kaio are you trying to put files on your linux hard disk from you mac
[05:29] <kaio> i have mythtv setup which use these drives and i have appletv and mac that access them too
[05:29] <kaio> the sharing is the problem
[05:29] <kaio> cant seem to figure out why the second drive wont show
[05:29] <kaio> i see it in showmount -e
[05:30] <tuxmatt> are you running linux or mac right now
[05:30] <kaio> but the files either dont exist of are the same as the other mount depending on what i try
[05:30] <kaio> ubuntu latest
[05:31] <tuxmatt> you trying to make a share network
[05:31] <Insomniac11> Whats the difference between "Ubuntu 12.04-LTS x64" and "ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64"?
[05:31] <kaio> mythtv is on ubuntu linux , files are in ubuntu and mac and applettv will try to access them
[05:31] <tuxmatt> Insomniac11,  a server os is def from a desktop os
[05:32] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: the first one is probably the desktop variant
[05:32] <Insomniac11> tomreyn: Should I worry about picking one over the other for running in a VDS environment and Valve Source Game servers?
[05:32] <tuxmatt>  servers do not have gui preinstalled on it so you have to download it
[05:33] <skraito> whats
[05:33] <tuxmatt> Insomniac11,  i belive i whould go with the ubuntu servers
[05:33] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: what's VDS in this context?
[05:33] <skraito> channel for ubuntu channel for socialise guys

[05:37] <unless> Insomniac11, ok, great,
[05:38] <kaio> any help ?
[05:38] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: for game servers, you probably don't want a graphical interface, it's a good idea to start with ubuntu server then.
[05:38] <tuxmatt> Insomniac11,  ooo
[05:38] <Insomniac11> sorry idk why I replied to tuxmatt lol I meant tomreyn :D
[05:39] <Insomniac11> tomreyn: Okay, I will do that. Thanks for the help.
[05:39] <tuxmatt> tomreyn,  thats what i told him dont need to get gui server just a nice clean konsole one and a good one is ubuntu server edtion
[05:39] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: good luck. conult the games' documentation on how to set it up.
[05:40] <Insomniac11> tomreyn: I had a setup b4. Just jacked it up, so I'm starting over. Host offers server and LTS wasn't sure of the differences. But now I know :)

[05:41] <lng> Hi! I run into this situation for few times before and I don't really know why it's happening... Say you have MySQL installed via apt, then you decided to purge it. After that you see /etc/init.d/mysql is still there and you delete it. Finally, if you install it back /etc/init.d/mysql is not created. Why?
[05:42] <tomreyn> tuxmatt: thanks, i'm not currently interested in other chat, though. hope you don't mind.
[05:43] <tuxmatt> tomreyn,  just being friendly
[05:43] <tomreyn> tuxmatt: that's appreciated. :)
[05:43] <dextershiz> lng: it will be by the packages
[05:44] <lng> dextershiz: no, it will never be put back
[05:44] <dextershiz> pretty sure that is created by the package
[05:44] <lng> dextershiz: I has the same issue with apache and now with nginx
[05:44] <lng> that's weird
[05:44] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: i'm not sure s/he'll like that
[05:45] <tomreyn> Insomniac11: but its sure worth a try
[05:45] <tuxmatt> any one esle needs help
[05:45] <tuxmatt> else
[05:45] <tomreyn> lng: there are probably multiple packages you need to consider
[05:46] <tomreyn> lng: /etc/init.d/mysql is part of the mysql-server-5.5 package
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> howto add das home to docky?
[05:47] <lng> tomreyn: how about nginx?
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> dash home
[05:47] <tomreyn> lng: if the package you purged was a different one, say, mysql-server, then this would not affect this file.
[05:47] <lng> same version
[05:48] <lng> tomreyn: try it
[05:48] <Nordom> anyone use Mono-devel?
[05:48] <tomreyn> lng: i'm having trouble to understand what you'Re saying, can you try to speak in complete sentences, please?
[05:49] <tuxmatt> Nordom,  i run debian mint and pear linux
[05:50] <lng> tomreyn: apt-get -y install nginx && apt-get -y purge nginx &&  rm -l /etc/init.d/nginx && apt-get -y install nginx && ls -l /etc/init.d/nginx

[05:50] <lng> tomreyn: /etc/init.d/nginx will be missing
[05:51] <Nordom> tuxmatt: I am unsure what that means, because my next question is what is Mono, I am required to use it for a guide I am using, and didn't have on on my system and had to find it, now that I got it, what is it?
[05:52] <Insomniac11> Busy /away
[05:52] <tomreyn> lng: do you mean "rm -f /etc/init.d/nginx" in the third queued command?
[05:53] <tuxmatt> Nordom,  i run linux mint and debian and pear linux no i never heard of the distro mono
[05:53] <RyanP> lng: /etc/init.d/nginx is part of nginx-common. Installing the nginx package won't install it.
[05:54] <blazemore> Just installed the new daily build and I'm liking it
[05:54] <blazemore> But I have two questions. 1) How do I configure font smoothing?
[05:54] <blazemore> 2) How do I set a different wallpaper on each monitor?
[05:54] <Nordom> no idea what is either tuxmatt,  In this guide http://ubuntu-answers.blogspot.jp/2011/11/rootunroot-android-under-ubuntu-with.html <--- they call "mono SuperOneClick.exe" to run the windows app as last command
[05:55] <tomreyn> !info mono | Nordom
[05:55] <lng> RyanP: I see!
[05:55] <jaak_> nice
[05:55] <jaak_> got in
[05:56] <Nordom> tomreyn: then what should I do in order to execute that .exe?
[05:56] <tomreyn> Nordom: sorry that wasn't too helpful ;-)
[05:56] <lng> RyanP: then how to remove package along with its dependencies?
[05:56] <lng> RyanP: I thought purge should do that
[05:59] <morteza> hi
[05:59] <RyanP> lng: Purge just removes the configuration files of that package. I think that something like; apt-get purge nginx; apt-get autoremove --purge; will do about what you want
[05:59] <morteza> when I want to login to my account , I'll logout automaticaly
[05:59] <morteza> how to slove it?
[05:59] <lng> RyanP: `apt-get purge nginx` have not removed /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
[06:00] <tuxmatt> Nordom, you run with it in wine and make sure that it is allowed to execute
[06:00] <morteza> I can't login in my account via gnome! why?
[06:01] <RyanP> lng: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf is part of nginx-common
[06:01] <lng> RyanP: ah, once again
[06:01] <tomreyn> Nordom: mono-runtime is the package you want, i think. mono is an attempt to port the windows .NET framework / runtime /development environment to POSIX systems
[06:01] <lng> RyanP: ok. thanks
[06:01] <lng> RyanP: how do you know?
[06:02] <lng> RyanP: how to quicly what is part of package?
[06:02] <RyanP> lng: I'm sure there's a different way of doing this, but I looked it up on packages.ubuntu.com. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=nginx.conf&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any
[06:02] <lng> RyanP: that's why I love Gentoo ;-)
[06:02] <edlang> long shot, anyone remember the propaganda wallpapers from the early 200s?
[06:02] <edlang> 2000s, even
[06:03] <RyanP> lng: Not a distro I've used.
[06:03] <lng> RyanP: heh!
[06:03] <lng> RyanP: I still have no /etc/init.d/nginx
[06:04] <lng> that's totally odd
[06:04] <bizhanMona> HI I have installed some packages on my Ubuntu/Precise 12.04. I have forgot the list of the packages that I have installed, is there any command could provide me the history of the packages installed? Tx
[06:04] <RyanP> lng: apt-get install --reinstall nginx-common
[06:04] <lng> bash: /etc/init.d/nginx: No such file or directory
[06:04] <lng> RyanP: same
[06:04] <lng> omg
[06:04] <tomreyn> RyanP: once you have it installed, you could use dpkg -S /path/to/filename
[06:05] <tomreyn> RyanP: and then there is apt-file
[06:05] <lng> RyanP: I don't want to copy it from another server
[06:06] <morteza> I can't login in my account via gnome! how to solve it?
[06:06] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: gedit /var/log/apt/history.log
[06:07] <tuxmatt-usb-driv> morteza, why cant you log into your account for what does it say
[06:07] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: thx
[06:08] <tomreyn> yw
[06:08] <morteza> tuxmatt-usb-driv: whid other user , I can. but with my user I logined but the I logout automaticaly
[06:08] <morteza> with*
[06:09] <tuxmatt> morteza,  that sounds wired you log in and it logs you out  auto
[06:09] <morteza> tumppu: yes
[06:09] <tuxmatt> morteza, you have another account
[06:10] <morteza> tuxmatt: but via terminal , I can login without any problem
[06:11] <tuxmatt> morteza,  try to reinstall the system
[06:11] <tomreyn> nah
[06:11] <morteza> tuxmatt: I have many data in that
[06:11] <tomreyn> that's too quick :)
[06:12] <tuxmatt> morteza,  i never heard of that problem man
[06:12] <edlang> http://www.michaelsmac.com/contributions/index.php?act=view&id=63
[06:13] <tomreyn> morteza: something about your window manager will have become corrupted. you mentioned gnome, which desktop do you actually use?
[06:13] <tuxmatt> morteza,  then go and buy a usb drive or portable hard disk
[06:13] <morteza> tomreyn: my desktop is awesome
[06:13] <tuxmatt> tomreyn,  thats what i was thinking to becouse it does control it
[06:13] <morteza> tuxmatt: thank you
[06:14] <tomreyn> morteza: and the other user you can login with also uses awesome?
[06:14] <sp3ck> hi, how can i modify a process to start after mounts from update-rd.d?? I tried update-rc.d nameofprocess defaults 20 89 but nothing...
[06:15] <morteza> tomreyn: now I am in gnome with root user
[06:15] <buglyjoe> morteza : I use awesome too. Could you login using another window manager and type awesome -k in a terminal
[06:15] <tuxmatt> morteza,  see the problem lays with in the window manager and you well have to log in terminal and apt-get uninstall windowmanager and apt-get install windowmanager i hope it fixes it for you if it dont you may not beable to log in again after that
[06:16] <tomreyn> morteza: i think buglyjoe can help you
[06:16] <buglyjoe> not sure yet, but I'll try
[06:16] <morteza> buglyjoe: that says : configure is ok
[06:17] <buglyjoe> which is your login manager? lightdm?
[06:17] <morteza> buglyjoe: yes
[06:17] <morteza> buglyjoe: I have gnome/ubuntu/i3/awesome desktop , but I can login with other user , but with my user I cant
[06:19] <buglyjoe> morteza : can the other user login with awesome?
[06:19] <morteza> [#ubuntu] tuxmatt:
[06:19] <tuxmatt> morteza,  what ?
[06:20] <tomreyn> buglyjoe: you were close ;)
[06:21] <buglyjoe> tomreyn : :-)
[06:23] <tomreyn> having a look at xorg.*.log and .xsession-errors might have been an option, hadn't thought of that, yet. but that'd probably been a bit too cumbersome, too.
[06:27] <buglyjoe> tomreyn : I was going to suggest to morteza to backup .config/awesome and try again
[06:28] <buglyjoe> tomreyn : although this happens to me only when I use a more complex dm like lxde or xfce (than awesome , I mean)
[06:31] <kevin_y> hello
[06:32] <kevin_y> i run through a problem with my ubuntu
[06:32] <kevin_y> I always get "Connection reset by peer"
[06:32] <kevin_y> if I connect an irc server
[06:32] <kevin_y> can anyone help me ?
[06:34] <tomreyn> buglyjoe: i didnt know where asome stores its configuration, but this would have been my general approach, too. move the WM's confguration out of the way so that a default one is used and one can (hopefully) login properly again.
[06:35] <bizhanMona> HI I have used aptitute to remove three packages (fglrx). Now I am trying to install them through dpkg -i  command,  and I get the following error:
[06:35] <bizhanMona>   Package fglrx is not configured yet.
[06:35] <bizhanMona> dpkg: error processing fglrx-amdcccle (--install):
[06:35] <bizhanMona>  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[06:35] <bizhanMona> Errors were encountered while processing:
[06:35] <bizhanMona>  fglrx-amdcccle
[06:35] <tomreyn> kevin_y: chances are your internet service provides doesn't like you to use the IRC protocol or you are banned on the network you are trying to connect to.
[06:35] <FloodBot1> bizhanMona: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <tomreyn> oh, i'm late
[06:37] <bizhanMona> the errors :http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218138/
[06:37] <bizhanMona> it seems the packages are not removed completely?
[06:37] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: dpkg doesn't resolve package dependencies for you, that's why you should use rather use apt-get in most cases.
[06:39] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: I have downloaded the packages to my local directory: when I ran this command: apt-get install fglrx-dev_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[06:39] <bizhanMona> I get the error that it can not locate the package.
[06:40] <Enrique> hio
[06:41] <bizhanMona> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218144/
[06:41] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: apt-get installs packages from package repositories, and download them from there. dpkg installs packages which are at a given location on your file system. to install the fglrx-dev package (if it exists in ubuntu, i have not checked) you would run  "sudo apt-get install fglrx-dev"
[06:43] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: the fglrx packages are old on repository that is why I have downloaded and used dpkg -i to install, but then  I get error as I mentioned before.
[06:43] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: my impression is that you're in the process of breaking your package system because you're following a how.to which instructs you to carry out actions which are unsupported.
[06:44] <tomreyn> so my impression was right.
[06:44] <morteza> buglyjoe: sorry , i was disconnected
[06:45] <morteza> buglyjoe: so what should I do now?
[06:46] <bizhanMona> tomrey; I have installed those packages using dpkg -i but then I though I removed me using aptitude. The issue is those packages have not removed cleanly and I can not re-install them?
[06:46] <morteza> buglyjoe: I tested with other user on awesome desktop , that's ok
[06:46] <morteza> buglyjoe: but widh my user no :(
[06:47] <paulus68_> I run rsnapshot backupscript which is working good how can I sent a notification by mail in order to know if everything went ok or not ok
[06:50] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: you should not have installed those packages in the first place, this is not supported. use jockey-gtk ("restricted drivers") to install proprietary graphics drivers if you think you want to do this.
[06:51] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: thanks will do that, I am not familiar with jockey-gtk but will google it. thx
[06:51] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: but for now, you'll need to try to recover the mess you just got yourself into.
[06:51] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: I did dpkg -r <package name> and it seems that did it...
[06:52] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: so you were lucky, glad to hear this. :)
[06:53] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: thanks a lot for your help.
[06:55] <lynn> hi
[06:55] <tomreyn> bizhanMona: you're welcome. here's more hints in this direction (note the "not supported" hints, too): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[06:55] <blackshirt> hi lynn
[06:56] <lynn> i just installed xubuntu,new here
[06:56] <blackshirt> lynn,no problemo
[06:56] <bizhanMona> tomreyn: thanks again, you great.
[07:01] <buglyjoe> morteza : I was in another window , sorry
[07:01] <buglyjoe> morteza : could you login using another wm and rename the .config/awesome folder to something else
[07:02] <buglyjoe> morteza : this is where awesome keeps all its settings
[07:02] <salmaan> Hi everyone
[07:03] <buglyjoe> morteza : the .config/awesome folder of the user who can't login, so you will probably need to switch to superuser
[07:05] <fidel> good morning. i am thinking about setting up a local apt mirror / or similar approaches - to offer updates to several 12.04 systems which dont have internet-access so far. my first test was using apt-mirror ...which worked great so far - but seems time & space consuming ...especially if you/your boxes just use a small amoiunt of packes out of the entire mirror you run. Now i am wondering if apt-cacher/apt-cacher-ng isnt the better way to go. What happens ...
[07:05] <fidel> ... if a linux box accesses the apt-cacher and the cacher itself has that file not available so far. will the client try to get it via its default souces then - or trigger the cacherto get it - to forwards it then to the client?
[07:07] <slackin> LONG LIVE WILLIAM CLINTON!
[07:07] <timfrost> fidel: if you have the cacher correctly configured, and the linux box configured to always fetch from the cacher, then the cacher will download the file and forward it to the client linux box.
[07:08] <tomreyn> fidel: the latter, if things work as planned. i've been trying several apt caches in the past and none really worked reliably for me. chances are this situation has improved by now. but you might as well consider to go with a generic proxy cache such as squid.
[07:08] <fidel> timfrost: ok as expected
[07:08] <fidel> tomreyn: so what approach are you using today?
[07:11] <tomreyn> fidel: nowadays i waste bandwidth
[07:11] <fidel> hrhr
[07:11] <fidel> thanks guys for the feedback
[07:12] <tomreyn> yw
[07:13] <morteza> buglyjoe: thanks you I'll check it ;)

[07:35] <Guest50268> What are ways of sharing music on ubuntu externally?
[07:36] <noskcaj> guest50268: tangerine is great as an itunes server
[07:37] <Guest50268> I have tangerine, and it uses daap
[07:37] <noskcaj> ok

[07:38] <Insomniac11> I need help with a faulty Ubuntu 12.04 Server installation, I screwed something up, I have the syslog in front of me with the last 20 lines if someone can help me. Thanks :)
[07:39] <fidel> !ask > Insomniac11
[07:39] <fidel> !details > Insomniac11
[07:41] <Insomniac11> @fidel is this a hint to re-state my question?
[07:42] <aisey> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu, it is better PlayOnLinux or Wine
[07:42] <fidel> Insomniac11: i just see that you mention you have issues - but not any detail about the issue/problem
[07:42] <timfrost> !pastebin | Insomniac11
[07:43] <Insomniac11> @fidel my apologies I didn't think it through all the way, I will type a more detailed query and pastebin it here.
[07:43] <noskcaj> aisey: wine + http://www.steamgamesonlinux.com/
[07:43] <fidel> Insomniac11: so basically - maybe i have just overseen it - you mentioned you might need help - but not anything else - which reduces your chances to actually -'get help' heavily as users inhere cant read brains ;)
[07:44] <timfrost> fidel: it is generally  better to get the bot  to respond in-channel
[07:44] <fidel> timfrost: cause?
[07:44] <fidel> timfrost: my idea behind using > is saving the others of repeating same bot-output
[07:44] <aisey> noskcaj: thank you
[07:46] <timfrost> fidel: in-channel reminds others of the message
[07:46] <fidel> hehe
[07:48] <timfrost> Insomniac11: pastebin the log, then paste the link so we can look at it, and then anybody who has a suggestion can contribute
[07:51] <timfrost> fidel: the code for ubottu restricts the frequency at which a given entry is repeated

So I press enter after 2 or 3 hours....it goes to next file and ends up erroring like 20 times shortly thereafter. This is 3rd time trying to install, each on sane hard drive, repartitioned and reformatted to ext3 each time,
[08:04] <codeMonkey_> Each copy of ubuntu was from same iso on same flash drive, but after second fail I  repartitioned and reformatted and re ran unetboot in from iso.  It worked previously on same computer for prior build
[08:04] <codeMonkey_> Any ideas?

[08:07] <lenochka> hi, I have started telnetd on my ubuntu server, but for some reason I cannot find it from ps aux output..
[08:07] <lenochka> it even said the process id
[08:08] <timfrost> !info unzip | souncom
[08:08] <llutz_> akis: "groups" does it list you as member of group "video"?
[08:08] <lenochka> any ideas how could I find the proof that my telnet is running?
[08:08] <llutz_> akis: check the tvtime.config, it seem to refer to some NTSC-settings
[08:09] <llutz_> lenochka: it might use xinetd
[08:09] <akis> i gave to my user all the root privileges. and in any case i am running tvtime form terminal using sudo
[08:09] <llutz_> akis: why? you just need to be member of "video" group. running stuff with sudo is a bad idea
[08:10] <lenochka> llutz_: yes, probably it does. but then I cannot see in ps aux neither. I mean I have pid, but I cannot see the process
[08:10] <souncom> but before the update ive extract here and compressed on my rigth clic menu on this file
[08:10] <akis> ok. i am remember of everything. i just run it as sudo to be sure that the issue isn't the privilige of my user

[ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running
[08:15] <akis> ok. i gave this already
[08:15] <tuxmatt> hardbard,  it is safer to do the package way see if its in the package manager apt-get then what you want to install
[08:17] <F-3000> Thank you Ubuntu for allowing me to test serial mices!
[08:17] <Calinou> ._.

[08:23] <codeMonkey_> So if it deoes it this time ill be able to post them
[08:24] <auronandace> codeMonkey_: sounds like an issue with a mirror
[08:24] <Jon--> My ubuntu boots slowly. I don't want to install botochart because the dev has been stalled for 7 years. My friend suggested I shoot it with shotgun, I think this is fair solution. Any alternatives?
[08:24] <Jon--> Sarcasm aside, is there a more up to date port of bootchart or a way to see what services/etc are slowing down boot time?
[08:24] <Jon--> s/port/fork
[08:25] <codeMonkey_> K.  Thanks
[08:25] <tuxmatt> Join can you update to grub2
[08:26] <paulus68_> I run rsnapshot backupscript which is working good how can I sent a notification by mail in order to know if everything went ok or not ok
[08:27] <fidel> Jon--: apart from being maybe not developerd so far - is there any known error / issues with it? last time i used it it seemed to work without effects
[08:27] <F-3000> tuxmatt: Jon can you update to grub2 (just relayed with correct nick in case user watches only alerts)
[08:27] <Jon--> fidel, I didn't try to use it yet
[08:27] <F-3000> (and got it wrong as well)
[08:28] <Jon--> F-3000, I read that thinking it was for me. I was very disappointed.
[08:28] <tuxmatt> f - 3000 what you mean just relayed with the currect nick in users only alert ?
[08:29] <llutz_> paulus68_: rsnapshot daily && echo "OK"|mail -s success  you@out.com
[08:29] <F-3000> tuxmatt, I get a beep when my nick is mentioned in the chat. That's what I meant. :)
[08:29] <Jon--> tuxmatt, most chat clients will alert you when someone types your name and allow you to tab-complete names. Ex: try typing Jon*tab*, it should complete me
[08:29] <blackshirt> is anyone know where channle to learn assembly languages?
[08:30] <tuxmatt> yea i know but i never mentioned hes name
[08:30] <auronandace> !alis | blackshirt

[08:31] <Jon--> auronandace, I didn't know anything about this.

[08:34] <auronandace> !appdb | vartotojas
[08:35] <gordonjcp> Jon--: it may be waiting forever for a non-existent DHCP server

[08:38] <Sil4nc4> hi guys, does anybody know how i can manage the order of the interfaces when doing PXE installations? The embedded controller is the one that does the PXE boot but when the kickstart comes up, the embedded controller becomes  eth2. What determines the order?
[08:38] <llutz_> jon edit /etc/default/grub, line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   and run sudo update-grub to make nosplash permanent
[08:38] <Tuxist> vartotojas: check wine testing ppa

[08:42] <xcervo> hello guys, is ther a gud channel for java developers?
[08:43] <llutz_> !alis | xcervo
[08:44] <vartotojas> blackshirt:  would you like to direct me to some good basics?
[08:45] <tuxmatt> vartotojas, when i started i learned the terminal
[08:45] <vartotojas> well, its all because my mate installed linux on my laptop
[08:45] <blackshirt> vartotojas, you can go to help.ubuntu.com.. A lot documentations available there...
[08:46] <kritika> i don't know exactly when , i guess, when there are more apps are open and if try to switch between them then i have frozen screen and my comp does not responds to any thing... @<blackshirt>
[08:46] <vartotojas> i see
[08:47] <blackshirt> kritika, how about switch to console, can you do it?
[08:47] <kritika> no nothing @<blackshirt>
[08:48] <souncom> up: anyone have an idea for my problem?
[08:49] <blackshirt> souncom, i don't know about your problem?
[08:49] <kritika> i did ctrl+alt+f2 no console opened and also ctrl+alt+t . @<blackshirt>
[08:49] <blackshirt> kritika,  learn to analyze your log
[08:50] <kritika> @<blackshirt> how ?
[08:50] <F-3000> blackshirt, one doesn't do that overnight.
[08:50] <souncom> after an update on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, extract here an compressed are missing on my rigth clic menu :(
[08:50] <auronandace> kritika: this isn't twitter, you don't need the @
[08:51] <Smackbook> i found this advice for my laptop wifi to make and install the compat drivers, but I get this when I run sudo make install  http://pastebin.com/LsQZKa55  can anyone tell me what this means or what problem its indicating?
[08:51] <blackshirt> for related kernel messages, look on some /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, or anithinglog on /var/log
[08:51] <kritika> ok :)
[08:52] <crizis> souncom, reinstalling archive app could help..
[08:52] <blackshirt> f-3000, sorry, maybe i,m missed something last night
[08:53] <souncom> i've reinstalling app file roller
[08:53] <souncom> and onthing
[08:53] <souncom> nothing**
[08:54] <F-3000> blackshirt, just about your comment to kritika about learning to read logs. Sadly, its not something that a novice will learn easily.
[08:54] <blackshirt> define nothing...
[08:54] <sveinse> Where does the people behind plymouth hang out? Is it Ubuntu people or is it a freestanding project?
[08:55] <blackshirt> sveinse, plymouth was ubuntucentrics..and sadly,that eas suck
[08:55] <patc> Hi here! Is rebooting after updates mandatory? What happens if computer isn't rebooted after an upgrade and another upgrade requiring reboot comes and is applied? Do updates "stack up" and appy without problems? Or is this somehow causing problems?
[08:55] <crizis> souncom, removing/moving off ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus and ~/.gconf/apps/file-roller could help..
[08:56] <huhmaster> patc, that shouldn't cause any problems
[08:56] <gordonjcp> patc: pretty much
[08:56] <sveinse> blackshirt: suck or no suck, I need to make changes to the boot splash/logging for a product of ours, so I have some plymouth questions
[08:56] <gordonjcp> patc: you may experience some weirdness if some libraries have been replaced
[08:56] <crizis> patc, won't cause any problems, but stuff like kernel upgrades won't be in effect until reboot
[08:57] <gordonjcp> patc: if the kernel version is *very* out of line with what's currently installed, expect general weirdness
[08:57] <souncom> when i clic rigth on archive i dont have extract here, and when i clic on folder i dont have compressed
[08:57] <gordonjcp> souncom: maybe you don't have something installed to expand that type of archive
[08:57] <blackshirt> sveinse, you can ask here..just ask..and i would be happy if i can help you
[08:58] <patc> huhmaster: gordonjcp : crizis : ok I see... thank you. Do one of you have some docum entation suggestions I can read to understand more in details how it works?
[08:58] <patc> documentation*
[08:58] <tuxmatt> im here to help to
[08:59] <souncom> i don't have this problem before update
[08:59] <vartotojas> Tuxist:  hey man, anyway, i decided to delete some games.. But now i cant find the directory Oo
[08:59] <crizis> patc, in a nutshell it's as simple as 1) services that get upgraded do get restarted automatically 2) kernel upgrades and some shared library updates need reboot (or with latter restarting every service which uses the lib)
[09:00] <saber_> mmm
[09:00] <sveinse> blackshirt: thanks. There is a limitation i ply which I need to overcome. ply can't show a splash on a fb and provide verbose text output on a serial console at the same time. This is something I need to fix. So it's either about modding ply, or to set ply in text mode (to seriel console) and implement my own fb splash routine.
[09:00] <Tuxist> vartotojas: /home/(username)/.wine/
[09:00] <sveinse> blackshirt: The easiest way would be to remove ply altogether, but alas, ply is married into everying in ubuntu @boot
[09:01] <Fudge> sveinse  you dont happen to know what resolution plymouth is using for images ?
[09:02] <sveinse> Fudge: Uhm. No. We're on an ARM platform with only one resolution. That is in our case setup in kernel commandline
[09:02] <blackshirt> sveinse, yes,plymoyth goes to deepth on ubuntu,you can't easilly remove it without breaking entire all system
[09:02] <patc> crizis: ok, I understand. I guess that what I don't understand is the way the updates are applied. As I understand your answer, for updates requiring reboot, the update is a totally new version of the lib that is replaced. Right? The updates don't somehow "patch" older files, so if 3 updates of the same lib are applied, the pacakge is simply replaced completely with every newer version? Correct?
[09:03] <Fudge> thanks sveinse
[09:03] <patc> crizis: so in my example, the 2 first updates just get "smashed out" by the 3rd at the reboot, yes?
[09:04] <ocx> is AHCI supported in ubuntu12? i dont see to find mySATA disks when trying to install
[09:06] <shivangpatel> any budy  idea about how to setup android SDK with eclipse in Ubuntu
[09:07] <shivangpatel> i was try my best, but ther was some error related to R variable.....
[09:08] <shivangpatel> ??
[09:09] <Jon--> my apt-key foo sucks, how I fix http://pastie.org/private/chtyosbjibs2kmndlqf8fa
[09:11] <F-3000> 12 allright serial mice. Tested with Ubuntu 12.04 liveUSB.
[09:21] <patc> I don't understand is the way the updates are applied. As I understand your answer, for updates requiring reboot, the update is a totally new version of the lib that is replaced. Right? The updates don't somehow "patch" older files, so if 3 updates of the same lib are applied, the pacakge is simply replaced completely with every newer version? Correct? So in my example, the 2 first updates just get "smashed out" by the 3rd at the reboot, yes?
[09:23] <minixvbox> patc: updates don't neccesarily stack, just the latest would be required
[09:23] <kellyangels> ♥♡♥♡♥Hello♥♡♥♡♥
[09:23] <kellyangels> Anyone care to chat?
[09:24] <llutz_> !ot | kellyangels wrong channel
[09:24] <kellyangels> Ok.. sorry
[09:25] <patc> minixvbox: yes, but in the eventuality that one or more updates are already "pending" (applied, but requiring reboot). What happens when a newer get applied, that also asks for reboot? Sorry if my question is maybe difficult to understand...
[09:26] <llutz_> patc: the pending ones will be overwritten, just the latest will be applied
[09:26] <minixvbox> patc: ah, i see, i'd assume it would simply replace the previous one
[09:27] <patc> llutz_, minixvbox, thank you guys, now I think it's clear! Great! :)
[09:27] <minixvbox> !yay | patc
[09:28] <patc> Thank you for your help!
[09:36] <bindaasomatic> is there a way to force only a single instance of application ?
[09:37] <yangholmes> hi~
[09:37] <yangholmes> I am new here~~~
[09:38] <bindaasomatic> this should be done/checked by application itself but still just curious
[09:38] <minixvbox> bindaasomatic: vlc has an option to force one instance
[09:39] <bindaasomatic> ok..,every application should have one and it should be default behavior
[09:39] <wuxort> hello
[09:39] <CommaCrazy> hi all
[09:39] <CommaCrazy> question, I have a colleague that is using ubuntu and has a problem where every so often he can't open a website and as soon as I restart his interface with ifconfig eth0 down and then up the site works again on that comp
[09:41] <sirdrake> buongiorno
[09:43] <wuxort> is there anyone here, who could help me in kernel compiling questions?
[09:44] <wuxort> not a "how to compile" kind of questions
[09:44] <Tyler91> So I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 server-amd64 I get the following message: an error was returned while trying to install the busybox-initramfs package onto the target system. There are a lot of other errors in the syslog. But idk how to share that here. Everytime I go back and wipe the partition to try and install again I get the same error message. Not sure if you guys can help or not,
[09:44] <Tyler91> thanks either way.
[09:45] <minixvbox> !paste | Tyler91
[09:47] <Tyler91> Sorry minixvbox I tried using pastebin before to submit my query but that resulted in even less people responding, actually 0 people responded...I don't think my issue is entirely complex. lol
[09:48] <minixvbox> Tyler91: pastebin is for multple lines of text, you describe your problem here
[09:48] <minixvbox> Tyler91: eg: pastebin your syslog
[09:49] <Tyler91> Well I can't, no way of exporting it
[09:49] <Tyler91> at least 100 lines
[09:49] <gordonjcp> Tyler91: take a photograph of the screen?
[09:49] <minixvbox> Tyler91: thats exactly what pastebin is for, or are you saying you can't get it to a pastebin?
[09:50] <Tyler91> yes I can't get it from the terminal to pastebin, and it would take a lot of screenshots to show you all the lines lol
[09:50] <wuxort> Is it necessary to compile in the numa stuff in kernel or is it skippable due to its server related? or is it software emulated on amd64 standard laptops?
[09:51] <Tyler91> @gordonjcp if there is another way I can get it from the terminal to here that you know of I will but otherwise I've given all the information I have access to really. Idk what else to tell you.
[09:52] <sirdrake> !pastebin

[10:08] <johan_> CXIV: should be fine, but you can't use more than something like 4GB RAM
[10:08] <CXIV> johan_ No chance to get lags?
[10:09] <signornessuno> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218390/
[10:10] <minixvbox> signornessuno: your / is full
[10:11] <signornessuno> how to free some space?
[10:11] <Guest12012> Hmmm
[10:11] <minixvbox> signornessuno: get rid of things you don't need
[10:11] <J-man> See if there are unused kernels in /boot/
[10:11] <johan_> CXIV: not much, I think.  might be slightly slower but I doubt you'd notice it
[10:11] <minixvbox> signornessuno: older kernels might be a good place to start
[10:12] <minixvbox> signornessuno: don't just delete them but uninstall then via the package manager
[10:12] <johan_> signornessuno: you could clean out some old log files in /var/log as well, and maybe even delete everything that's currently in /tm
[10:12] <johan_> signornessuno: you could clean out some old log files in /var/log as well, and maybe even delete everything that's currently in /tmp
[10:13] <signornessuno> only 8 mb in tmp
[10:14] <minixvbox> signornessuno: you need to figure out whats taking up the space
[10:14] <signornessuno> ok i remove 5 gb of logs
[10:14] <Mrokii> Hello. Is there an application starter like Synapse that actually learns what the user wants to use a certain command for? Synapse obviously does not. I mean something equivalent to Quicksilver on OS X.
[10:14] <signornessuno> thanks very much now i have enoght space
[10:15] <jrib> Mrokii: can you give an example of what quicksilver does that's special?
[10:15] <J-man> signoressuno: baobab is a program that you can use to analyse disk usage; it's installed by default
[10:15] <alex132> 5.1 sound, so I have acer 5738g,ubuntu 12.04,alsa for sound, I managed to modify alsa conf to have 5.1 sound but alsa recognize my laptop speakers as speakers , when I plug the jack for my audio system it recognize it as headphones what to do to be recognized as speakers
[10:16] <minixvbox> signornessuno: if your logs are reaching 5gb that indicates there is an issue somewhere on your system
[10:17] <ejv> hey guys, i used the lvm ubuntu installer, and it says my home is out of space, how do I give it more space?
[10:17] <signornessuno> minixvbox, ok, next time before delete i have a look at logs
[10:18] <Mrokii> jrib: What I mean is that Quicksilver learns that for example "ff" stands for Firefox and doesn't change that arbitrarily. Synapse doesn't seem to do that, or at least not very well, I don't know. As long as I don't install or use any "new" apps, it works fairly well. But I had a few occasions were I started new apps (not via Synapse) and then, out of a sudden, Synapse shows me this new app instead of the app
[10:18] <Mrokii> the command has actually been used for for a long time.
[10:18] <karthick87> I am getting "chroot: can't execute '/sbin/load_policy': No such file or directory mount: mounting none on /selinux failed: No such device" How to fix it?? I am stuck at the text mode in login screen..

[10:18] <eFfeM> hi, is thre a way to define a shortcut for a key sequence (12.04, unity), eg. assign the string "hello world" to F5 or ctrl h or alt h or so
[10:18] <qw[russian]> hello all
[10:19] <Mrokii> jrib: A concrete example: I have been typing "thu" for a long time to start Thunderbird. Recently I started the "Thunar File Manager" (bot not via Synapse) and now when I type "thu" in Synapse, it shows me Thunar as the default option instead of Thunderbird. Which makes no sense at all.
[10:20] <qw[russian]> help me please: i install ubuntu (Ultimate Edition) now and i would like see what is version i used
[10:20] <minixvbox> Mrokii: use unity, that has a similar search feature
[10:20] <eFfeM> qw, log in then cat /proc/version
[10:20] <Mrokii> eFfeM: AutoHotkey might be what you're looking for.
[10:20] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: ultimate edition isn't supported here
[10:20] <eFfeM> Mrokii: probably
[10:20] <Mrokii> minixvbox: I'd use unity if it wouldn't be so awfully slow for me.
[10:21] <minixvbox> Mrokii: try unity2d
[10:21] <qw[russian]> but is ubutu
[10:21] <qw[russian]> ubuntu*
[10:21] <qw[russian]> sorry
[10:21] <Mrokii> eFfeM: Oops, the app is named "AutoKey"
[10:21] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: no, its a derivative, they change stuff
[10:21] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: only official ubuntu releases are supported here
[10:21] <eFfeM> Mrokii: thanks, got it
[10:22] <Braden`> root@host:/var/jails/php# chroot .   <-- chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory <-- # ls bin/bash <-- bin/bash
[10:22] <CommaCrazy> question, I have a colleague that is using ubuntu and has a problem where every so often he can't open a website and as soon as I restart his interface with ifconfig eth0 down and then up the site works again on that comp
[10:22] <alex132> 5.1 sound, so I have acer 5738g,ubuntu 12.04,alsa for sound, I managed to modify alsa conf to have 5.1 sound but alsa recognize my laptop speakers as speakers , when I plug the jack for my audio system it recognize it as headphones what to do to be recognized as speakers
[10:22] <Mrokii> minixvbox: I will, but afaik Uninty2d is removed in Ubuntu 12.10. Plus, I think Unity as such is rather bloated.

[10:30] <MonkeyDust> guest-AJJqWG  you mean root?
[10:30] <minixvbox> guest-AJJqWG: what do you mean by admin account? you use your user and use sudo
[10:30] <Braden`> root@host:/var/jails/php# chroot .   <-- chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory <-- # ls bin/bash <-- bin/bash  <-- I obviously have bin/bash in that hierarchy.
[10:30] <J-man> karthick87: it's propably a kernel issue, try booting in an old kernel if you have that installed then further resolve the problem from there
[10:30] <guest-AJJqWG> well yea, the root
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> !root > guest-AJJqWG
[10:31] <J-man> karthick87: hold shift while booting to get in the grub menu

[10:33] <guest-AJJqWG> i enter password
[10:33] <guest-AJJqWG> and it doesnt unlocks

[10:35] <guest-AJJqWG> anyway, i still need help to access my user ;/
[10:35] <guest-AJJqWG> no, i didnt, its just not fitting anymore
[10:35] <gordonjcp> guest-AJJqWG: so you've lost your password?
[10:35] <minixvbox> guest-AJJqWG: don't have caps lock on do you? :)

[10:36] <guest-AJJqWG> goddard: lets say i lost it
[10:36] <J-man> karthick87: Okay what you can try is booting in single user mode or boot with a live cd and change /etc/shadow; you need some basic knowledge on what to do, ill try finding a manual 1sec
[10:36] <gordonjcp> !password | guest-AJJqWG

[10:53] <J-man> wishin_master: Try: modprobe -r b43 ssb wl;modprobe wl
[10:54] <wishin_master> J-man: i have added b43 in the /etc/modules/ as well
[10:54] <buglyjoe> basically I have to switch to Unity if I have to use ubuntu tweak
[10:55] <buglyjoe> does anyone know how to get this prompt in other wms?
[10:55] <minixvbox> buglyjoe: ubuntu-tweak wasn't designed for awesome, xmonad or fluxbox
[10:56] <dr_willis> buglyjoe:  you do have unity desktop installed but just not using it?
[10:56] <buglyjoe> tEuy0 [~smuxi@178.139.179.38] has joined #ubuntu

[10:56] <guest-6tEuy0> i cant enter it -.-
[10:56] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : I have the default that I got with the os install
[10:57] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : so there is no way to get around this?
[10:57] <minixvbox> buglyjoe: you want ubuntu-tweak to work for something it isn't designed for?
[10:58] <wishin_master> J-man: once actionparsnip told me to add b43 to /etc/modules file then it started working fine but i recently formatted the sys since then i am not able to commect through wireless.
[10:58] <J-man> wishin_master: You can try lspci -vvv and see which driver it tries to use and blacklist that in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[10:59] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : well, it works except for the part where it is supposed to show the root login prompt. anyway, I guess I'll use Unity when I have to
[10:59] <J-man> wishin_master: Or revert the changes in /etc/modules and see what happens
[11:00] <wishin_master> J-man: when i was using 10.04 at that time i tried blacklisting the drivers.

[11:31] <ArunC> Can someone please help?
[11:31] <dr_willis> CXIV:  either should work

[11:38] <FloatingGoat> thanks
[11:39] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: pdf viewer, and hold PG DN?
[11:40] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: funny one
[11:40] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: what is a speed reading app?
[11:41] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: something like this http://www.shaks.ws/program.html?1 . (sorry flash inside)
[11:41] <lJ6il> You give it a long text, it cuts it, and gives you 3 words by 3 words (for example), with the speed you want
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> Autrax  is it a tracker problem in your browser, privacy etc? use the Ghostery  plugin to block trackers

[11:45]  * dr_willis closes the ticket
[11:46] <lJ6il> gordonjcp : You give it a long text, it cuts it, and gives you 3 words by 3 words (for example), with the speed you want
[11:46] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: helps you seeing faster the words, and increasing your peripheral vision
[11:46] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: hm, I've never come across anything like that but it sounds easy enough to write
[11:46] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: fwiw I recommend that my students *don't* speed-read ;-)
[11:47] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  its best to keep it in the channel. i am in class right now.
[11:47] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  you may want to change nicks and remove the guest- part also. it makes it harder to nick complete
[11:48] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: yes. I don't know much about programming (i learnt C++ a long time ago) but i think i could build one. I'm just looking somewhere if it exists. I don't want to waste time if there's a much better software already done by someone. Why did you recomment to *not* speed read to your students ?
[11:48] <lJ6il> recommend*
[11:48] <guest-Dcxvar> how to change my nick?
[11:48] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  you said earlier you could login in to your user from the console login: screen
[11:48] <dr_willis>   /nick billgates
[11:48] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: because they don't take it in
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:49] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: sorry for my bad english : to not take it in ? What does that mean ?
[11:50] <blackshirt> hei blueskaj
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: they can memorise stuff, but they don't actually comprehend it
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: so you can ask them to repeat it and they'll gabble it out verbatim
[11:50] <BluesKaj> hi blackshirt
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: but if you ask them to *explain* what they read, they can't
[11:50] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: oh ok. Maybe they practiced speed reading in a bad way
[11:50] <guest-Dcxvar> ok, now i see i cant
[11:51] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: don't know; at the moment I'm dealing with American exchange students who are doing degree courses over here but struggle with high-school reading comprehension work ;-)
[11:51] <guest-Dcxvar> im on guest user -.-
[11:52] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  from the alt-ctrl-f1 console.. can you login
[11:52] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: oh ok... yeah. Maybe it's not the best time for them to try this.
[11:53] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: these are not stupid people; we're talking about folk who are doing their honours year of engineering degrees
[11:53] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: they just plain can't read, though
[11:53] <hroi> hi im creating a raid with mdamd
[11:53] <hroi> mdadm I mean
[11:53] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: never said they were stupid... We all have some different issues
[11:53] <dr_willis> bbl....  lab time in class.
[11:53] <hroi> Im wondering about "chunk size"
[11:54] <hroi> Im going to store very large files in my raid.
[11:54] <hroi> should I be setting the chunk size to big? instead of 512 bites.??
[11:54] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: it's their education system
[11:54] <BluesKaj> gordonjcp, sometimes we forget that colloquialisms are difficult to understand for non native English speakers
[11:54] <etfb> I'm getting sick of all the bugs in LibreOffice.  Is OpenOffice any more stable?  Or are they basically the same product?
[11:55] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: the common thread is that they were privately educated in the US, so I suspect they got sat in front of a TV and shown videos for most of it
[11:55] <gordonjcp> BluesKaj: it's fun teaching ESOL courses when English is your second language
[11:55] <gordonjcp> BluesKaj: technically it's my first now though
[11:56] <etfb> gordonjcp: Did you have your previous language removed?  sudo apt-get remove swahili or something like that?
[11:56] <gordonjcp> etfb: :-)
[11:56] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: yeah...
[11:57] <etfb> Hmmm... apt-get for the human brain... someone needs to get on that, stat!
[11:57] <bazhang> !ot | etfb
[11:57] <gordonjcp> etfb: when I was in primary school we used Gaelic pretty much all the time
[11:57] <gordonjcp> etfb: I've forgotten most of it
[11:57] <etfb> bazhang: Nice, but read up a bit.  I was the only one in that thread to actually mention anything remotely ubuntish...
[11:58] <bazhang> gordonjcp, etfb lets move on please
[11:58] <etfb> Indeed.  Anyone got any experience with OpenOffice since the "official" change to LibreOffice?  I'm sick of LO and want to try OO again.
[11:58] <lJ6il> anyway thanks gordonjcp :)
[11:58] <lJ6il> Bye !
[12:00] <guest-Dcxvar> guys
[12:00] <elaminato> anybody using wine to play age of empires with voobly?
[12:00] <BluesKaj> yes gordonjcp 2 of my kids taught English as a second language over in Taiwan for 8 yrs or so , it was enjoyable experience for them
[12:00] <guest-Dcxvar> someone please help me. Im having a big trouble. Ive lost control on my user and i cant log in on it atm
[12:01] <gordonjcp> guest-Dcxvar: have you lost your password?
[12:01] <gordonjcp> !password | guest-Dcxvar
[12:02] <guest-Dcxvar> gordonjcp, when i try to change the password, i get message "authentication token manipulation error"
[12:02] <guest-Dcxvar> what does that mean?
[12:02] <etfb> Wow, that article on "strong" passwords is deeply broken.  15 characters or more?  Ha!
[12:02] <etfb> guest-Dcxvar: what command are you using to change the password?
[12:03] <guest-Dcxvar> passwd <username>
[12:03] <etfb> guest-Dcxvar: have you seen this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/91188/authentication-token-manipulation-error
[12:04] <guest-Dcxvar> i shall check it now
[12:04] <ludwig_> i would higly suggest using whole sentences as password... plain strings are out of date. Eg. "This is my highly secure Password, try to crack this Sucker!"  easy to remember and not guessable
[12:05] <etfb> ludwig_: Indeed. Even Bruce Scneier quotes this cartoon: http://xkcd.com/936/
[12:05] <Calinou> ludwig_: heard of dictionary attacks?
[12:05]  * Calinou DOU-BLE FACE-PALMS
[12:06] <ludwig_> Calinou: do you know how they work? dont think so
[12:06] <Calinou> I do
[12:06] <etfb> Calinou: your dictionary contains the phrase "This is my highly secure Password, try
[12:06] <etfb> 	  to crack this Sucker!" does it?
[12:06] <etfb> Some dictionary...
[12:06] <Calinou> people don't bruteforce anymore
[12:06] <Calinou> they all know people use normal words as passwords
[12:06] <ludwig_> Calinou: this would only work if you have ONE WORD
[12:06] <Calinou> etfb: WORDS, not phrases
[12:06] <Calinou> today's dictionary attacks can assemble words
[12:06] <elaminato> bruteforce takes lots of time
[12:06] <ludwig_> the whole prhase has is the password hash, how you want to brut force this??
[12:06] <Calinou> not with today's GPUs
[12:06] <etfb> Calinou: you are embarrassing yourself.  The encryption of "fred nurk" is not the same as the encryption of "fred" followed by the encryption of " nurk".
[12:07] <bazhang> Calinou, thats enough
[12:07] <etfb> Your instinct is wrong.  Don't trust instinct in matters of security!  Read up on passphrases.  See Schneier on Security for loads of info.  Hang on while I find a good overview...
[12:08] <ikonia> guys - this is not an ubuntu topic
[12:08] <ikonia> it is not for this channel, please stop now.
[12:08] <bazhang> etfb, this is the wrong place for it
[12:08] <Calinou> not for -offtopic too 8)
[12:08] <Braden`> Actually
[12:08] <alex132> I have acer 5738g ,ubuntu 12.04 , i modified the conf to have 5.1 sound it works but my problem is that only my laptop speakers are detected as speakers in sound settings ,when I plug in my system audio jack ubuntu detects headphones and that only has 2.0 sound so how to make ubuntu detect my system jack as speakers	
[12:09] <ludwig_> alex132: how do you output 5.1 sound via 1 system jack? :-)
[12:10] <Braden`> Statistically speaking if you mix letters, numbers, and special characters and have a 28 character long password using a triple method encryption plus a good cipher e.g. SHA512, it would take between 21 and 35 years to bruteforce that password.
[12:10] <etfb> ikonia: have a look at the article on "strong" passwords linked above.  It is dangerously out of date.  Security is an important issue; this channel is giving people the wrong information.
[12:10] <etfb> If that's not an ubuntu topic, nothing is.
[12:10] <etfb> http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/09/recent_developm_1.html
[12:10] <ikonia> etfb: I don't need to read it thank you
[12:10] <ikonia> etfb: this channel is for ubuntu support, not generic password cracking, please stop
[12:11] <gordonjcp> Guest28235: so have you followed the instruction in that link?  You rebooted as the root user?
[12:11] <etfb> ikonia: What the -- ?
[12:11] <alex132> it's a male female cable in it it's a jack to rc and rc goes int-o my system , in windows 7 I can select both 2.0 and 5.1 settings
[12:11] <ikonia> etfb: sorry, if that's not clear I suggest you join #ubuntu-ops and don't speak in this channel again until it is clear.
[12:11] <etfb> ikonia: It looks like you *do* need to read, because you just accused me of discussing a topic that is the diametric opposite of what I was talking about.
[12:11] <krababbel> alex132: is it a digital output? otherwise analogue 5.1 is impossible on two channels
[12:12] <krababbel> alex132: one jack usually is stereo out, some have three channels, look at the male connector and count the plastic rings, they separate the channels
[12:12] <nydel> is 12.10 / quantal quetzal beta1 upgrade for wubi pretty stable?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> nydel  #ubuntu+1
[12:13] <nydel> thanks MonkeyDust
[12:14] <guest-nfBBvi> ok im going to kill myself -.-
[12:14] <guest-nfBBvi> i changed root password but i still cant log on administrator
[12:15] <elaminato> then type ./kill :D
[12:15] <bazhang> guest-nfBBvi, there is no root password enabled
[12:15] <ikonia> guest-nfBBvi: 1.) the root password should not be set 2.) the administrator account is a different account from root
[12:15] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: never do that
[12:15] <bazhang> !behelpful | elaminato
[12:15] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: you shouldn't have a root password set
[12:16] <alex132> it is analog and there are 2 rings , I will use digital as soon as I will buy the cable for it ,I hoped that if there is working in windows 7 it will work somehow in ubuntu also ,it is not a big problem I still have sound but I would like to be able to configure subwofer also
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> gordonjcp: my friend minstalled linux on my laptop. i created a new user which is shown as admininstrator at user accounts
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> when i turn on my laptop
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> im entering my password
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> and i get some flashes
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> then everything goes back to main log in screen
[12:18] <ludwig_> what you mean by "flashes" ?
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> and i cant enter my user
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> -.-
[12:20] <BluesKaj> alex132, does your speaker system have a digital controller with coax ot optical inputs?
[12:20] <BluesKaj> ot=or
[12:21] <guest-nfBBvi> ludwig_: look, i turned on laptop. First of all it shows me the log in menu for my own user and guest user
[12:21] <guest-nfBBvi> i hit my own user, and it should log in into my user yes?
[12:21] <krababbel> alex132: two rings would be three channels, that is usuall used on systems with only two jacks, so two jacks would have 2x3=6 channels. On Windows my audiochip has a driver which can do virtual surround over stereo output, that is not 5.1. On ubuntu what you see in pavucontrol is the physical config, and for me even in windows it is set to stereo, or headphones, and the virtual surround is a different setting. On linux, the media
[12:21] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: I'm not sure why you would create a user called "administrator", what's the thinking behind that?
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> but, when i hit log in, i see some monitor black screen flashes and it just drops me back to users panel
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> nooo
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> My user is named Zilw3
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> and its administrator
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> on user accounts

[13:15] <dr_willis> tldp.org used to have some bash color howtos i recall ages ago.
[13:15] <dr_willis> 'bash ansi color codes' may give some good hits on a search engine also
[13:16] <Boreeas> Great, thanks
[13:17] <dr_willis> i had a example ages ago that put all the escape codes into easy to use variables like $RED and $BLUE
[13:18] <dr_willis> came from the bash prompt howto or abs guide i imagine

[13:25] <guest-anUDoN> Hey guys. Im new on linux system and i think now im screwed. Today i tried to instal some hybrid video card and i think this **** made some problems for me. After all that stuff i used unity -- reset. And guess what? Now i cant enter my User. Firstly, when i turn on my laptop it shows me the menu with the users right? First one is mine user account named "Zilw3". It has administrator privilegies.. When i enter password for this user it should log in
[13:25] <guest-anUDoN> into my user and everything should work good, but, when i hit enter, my monitor flashes with some black colour and throws me back into Users panel to select user. Atm i can use only guest user. So this is my problem.
[13:25] <jrib> guest-anUDoN: have you tried just creating a new user?
[13:26] <Braden`> How do I search for packages that I have installed?
[13:26] <jrib> Braden`: use apt-cache or dpkg -l
[13:26] <Braden`> jrib:  What parm for apt-cache?
[13:27] <jrib> Braden`: if you give an example of what you want to do, I can be more specific
[13:27] <Braden`> jrib search for a package containing the file libproc*
[13:27] <_val_> Hey there. after booting, I'm getting  (initramfs)  I've fixed this problem once byt  set rootfs=(hd0,msdos01)
[13:27] <guest-anUDoN> jrib: like how?
[13:27] <_val_> or something like this but can't figure it out. Anyone?
[13:28] <_val_> s/byt/by
[13:28] <jrib> guest-anUDoN: reboot, choose recovery mode, get a root shell, enter the command « adduser name_of_your_new_user_here », then to give the new user admin rights, « adduser name_of_new_user_here admin »
[13:28] <jrib> Braden`: you would need to use apt-file or http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for *files* inside packages
[13:29] <jrib> Braden`: apt-file search libproc
[13:29] <jrib> !find libproc
[13:29] <ocx> is AHCI supported in ubuntu12? i dont see to find mySATA disks when trying to install

[13:36] <Braden`> Got all of them restored
[13:36] <Braden`> Thank you to those who advise me! :)
[13:37] <_val_> guys. Could someone provide some help to rescue from initramfs.
[13:38] <_val_> I don't remember anymore how to goot the kernel.  set root=(hd0,msdos1) something like this?

[13:41] <Absolute0> I have ubuntu-server running as a virtualbox guest. I am able to ssh to it, but when I try accessing it through the browser with port 5000, it doesn't respond. I tried running `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 5000 -j ACCEPT`, but that didn't help.
[13:42] <ikonia> Absolute0: whats running on port 5000
[13:43] <Absolute0> ikonia: a web server
[13:43] <Absolute0> a development web server, to be exact
[13:43] <tanguy__> salut
[13:43] <ikonia> Absolute0: ok, so from localhost can you telnet localhost 500
[13:43] <ikonia> 5000

[13:48] <Absolute0> jrib: correct
[13:48] <jrib> Absolute0: you're aware that by default, the server isn't externally accessible?
[13:49] <Absolute0> jrib: I am not, let me look at the options
[13:50] <jrib> Absolute0: you can either (1) just use ssh port forwarding or (2) change your call to app.run() so that it becomes externally accessible.  I'd probably prefer (1)
[13:51] <Absolute0> jrib: I am already using ssh forwarding, but it's annoying to do that on every VM where I test the app.
[13:52] <wubino> how do I find where grub is installed?
[13:52] <KyleYankan> Hey Ubuntu - quick question. I tried to set up VNC on my desktop - but now everytime I log into my desktop, it pulls up a broken X session. No toolsbars, desktop, jsut a terminal window. What file do I need to fix?
[13:52] <wubino> I am trying to upgrade but not sure where to install the new version
[13:52] <jrib> Absolute0: as long as you're sure only the computers you want can actually access the server (because of a firewall or closed network), then (2) should be ok too
[13:52] <Absolute0> jrib: do you know how to do that from the manager?
[13:52] <Absolute0> I mean Flask-Script
[13:52] <Absolute0> I'll look into it, thanks!
[13:53] <jrib> Absolute0: I don't.  I think you call "app.run(0.0.0.0)" (or something).  It's in the docs
[13:53] <jrib> Absolute0: app.run(host='0.0.0.0') apparently instead of the usual app.run()
[13:56] <Absolute0> jrib: python manage.py runserver -t 0.0.0.0
[13:56] <Absolute0> thanks!
[13:56] <kelvinella> so is there a better way to send msg to whatsapp in ubuntu?

[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> Hi is anyone available?
[14:12] <KyleYankan> What's the best way to found out my sound card's input device? A program is trying to access /dev/dsp, but it doesnt exist
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> i have a small question about ubuntu server as a router and vpn
[14:12] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: yes
[14:12] <dr_willis> KyleYankan:  what program?
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> the server can access the network on the other end of the vpn
[14:12] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: you want to deploy OpenVPN or PPTP VPN?
[14:12] <KyleYankan> dr_willis: soundmodem
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: it's pptp
[14:12] <Boreeas> So, to clean up the color escapes in my .bashrc, I tried to stick the actual escapes in variables and then reference them with ${COLORNAME}: http://pastebin.com/Eixu2nk5 However, the prompt looks like this instead: \[\e\[00;33m\][\[\e[01;36m\]user@host?~]→
[14:13] <Boreeas> Why are the color codes not replaced?
[14:13] <dr_willis> !find soundmodem
[14:13] <dr_willis> !info soundmodem
[14:13] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: the connection works ok and the server can access the network on the vpn but my dhcp clients, the rest of the network connected locally to the server can't access the vpn network
[14:13] <theadmin> Boreeas: Why not use "tput setf" instead of that?
[14:14] <Boreeas> Because I didn't know that
[14:14] <KyleYankan> dr_willis: It listens to a radio via soundcard and interprets digital transmissions.
[14:14] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: Are you using pptpd?
[14:14] <dr_willis> Boreeas:  to many nested quotes or not enough when exposring the variable
[14:14] <theadmin> Boreeas: As for the actual question, single-quoted strings aren't mutable, your PS1 is in single quotes.
[14:14] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: yes. I think so :)
[14:15] <dr_willis> bbl. school time
[14:15] <newzi> !upstart
[14:16] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: the whole connection was made through command line...it's weird because the server has access to the resources behind the vpn just fine...it's just the local machines connected to the server (from which they get ip's) can't access them
[14:16] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: are you accessing your PPTP VPN through Linux Distro? i.e. using a Linux client; like gnome-network-manager?
[14:16] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: yes through an Ubuntu server machine
[14:17] <newzi> Heeeey
[14:17] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: Confirm us you have followed this - http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml
[14:18] <newzi> Shit, IRC is all plain text
[14:18] <rihen_> how can i change the background of my login screen in gnome 3.4> (server ubuntu 12.04lts)
[14:18] <newzi> anyone use SSL?
[14:19] <newzi> rihen_: I wanna know that aswell
[14:19] <newzi> !who newzi
[14:19] <gordonjcp> rihen_: if you change your desktop background, the login screen background should change too
[14:20] <IngElias> Ey guys I have ubuntu 11.10, sound was perfect but now doesnt work
[14:20] <IngElias>  HDA Intel PCH
[14:21] <L3top> what changed IngElias?
[14:21] <IngElias> The last I changed i think was installing and then removing osdlyrics
[14:23] <L3top> lspci -nnk | grep -i audio -A3
[14:23] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: Yes. but right now I'm stuck on routing it seems. I'm going to try again using the LAN to LAN configuration
[14:23] <Boreeas> theadmin: Ah, thanks. I didn't know that single vs double quotes had any difference
[14:23] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: I'll be right back. Thank you for your help.

[14:24] <L3top> hmm... I would expect that was working... I assume nothing is muted in alsamixer IngElias
[14:24] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: I used PPTPD long back. Now I run OpenVPN server; much better in my opinion. Well here is a helpful link for you - http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml
[14:24] <IngElias> Is all 100%, hardware works because I proved it in w7
[14:26] <designbybeck> I'm back to hunting Laptops, boss said it is now or ever if I wanted one. How about this for running Ubuntu? http://www.pasteall.org/35434
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> designbybeck  not in this channel, please
[14:26] <designbybeck> It is about Ubuntu Linux
[14:27] <designbybeck> What good is asking about Ubuntu if you don't have a computer to run it on
[14:27] <jacky007> !ot
[14:27] <L3top> IngElias: 100% is different than mute. Do you have an /etc/asound.conf file? (this is probably a pulse audio problem. I do not use or allow use of pulse cause... of this)
[14:29] <jrib> designbybeck: just check for issues with the wireless and the video card.  Everything else should be fine
[14:29] <IngElias> i dont have /etc/asound.conf
[14:30] <designbybeck> thank you jrib
[14:30] <L3top> IngElias: is this analog or digital output? How is it physically connected?
[14:30] <L3top> IngElias: please pastebin the output of sudo aplay -l

[14:31] <IngElias> sorry im new using linux
[14:32] <IngElias> and xchat
[14:32] <designbybeck> thank you usr13
[14:32] <L3top> No problem... we all learn at some point.
[14:32] <IngElias> i will not happen again
[14:32] <L3top> IngElias: so how is this connected to speakers? Analog, HDMI, laptop speakers... etc
[14:33] <IngElias> yes, laptop speakers, i tried to use headphones but still doesnt work

[14:35] <jacky007> Can i use Remastersys created image on USB ?
[14:35] <L3top> IngElias: please pastebin the output of tail /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[14:36] <L3top> yes jacky007
[14:37] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: I'm looking at this command right here "iptables --insert OUTPUT 1 --source 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0  --destination 192.168.0.0/16 --jump ACCEPT --out-interface ppp0" and i'm trying to figure out where this should go...is this in filter? nat? or mangle?
[14:37] <jacky007> will it work ?  i want to configure my backtrack 5 r2 .After make some changes in it , i want to put it back on my USB . Can i do that with the help of unebootin ?
[14:37] <L3top> jacky007: ubuntu has a native tool Startup Disk Creator which it will work with, or unetbootin will work as well.
[14:37] <Sidney__> how do I create a list of files on my nas
[14:37] <L3top> backtrack is not supported here
[14:38] <IngElias> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218714/
[14:38] <jacky007> L3top: i want to use it as LIVE USB  : )
[14:38] <L3top> Then do it. I cannot tell you how well remastersys will work with backtrack.
[14:38] <L3top> nor can I troubleshoot problems you encounter.
[14:39] <Morten_> Hi, what is the best way, to setup ssh between two machines, so you don't need password?
[14:40] <llutz> Morten_: key without passphrases, which is a security-issue, be aware of this
[14:40] <L3top> I am afraid this is looking more and more like a pulse audio problem... and I don't play with pulse I am afraid IngElias.
[14:40] <AR__> you simply make a use without password
[14:40] <L3top> You can setup a shared key...
[14:40] <llutz> AR__: thats even more a security-nightmare
[14:40] <IngElias> what means a pulse audio problem?
[14:40] <Morten_> I thought of something like, ssh-keygen .. something like: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/
[14:40] <usr13> IngElias: Want to do a couple tests?
[14:41] <IngElias> yes tell me
[14:41] <usr13> IngElias: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[14:41] <usr13> IngElias: Tell us if you get errors?
[14:41] <L3top> IngElias: Pulse audio is a layer over alsa which allows "easy" configuration which I find so prone to error I refuse to deal with it.
[14:41] <blackshirt> nalamt
[14:41] <IngElias> nothing sounds
[14:42] <usr13> IngElias: What do you see on the screen though?
[14:42] <usr13> IngElias: Does it appear to be playing sounds?  Or is it giving errors?
[14:42] <L3top> IngElias: does this produce sound? sudo speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,0
[14:43] <keithx> how to write an application to the google travel grants
[14:43] <IngElias> its seams to work but nothing happens, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218730/
[14:43] <keithx> any one has any idea?
[14:44] <L3top> That is not really an ubuntu support question keithx.
[14:44] <IngElias> also nothing
[14:44] <L3top> But it appears to be trying correct IngElias?
[14:44] <usr13> IngElias: pkill pulseaudio ; rm -r ~/.pulse* #And test again
[14:44] <IngElias> no errors
[14:44] <L3top> listen to usr13.
[14:45] <IngElias> the same, no errors but doesnt sound nothing
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: alsamixer  #See that channels are turned up, not muted.  Particularly PCM
[14:46] <IngElias> i mean doesnt sound anything (sorry for my poor english)
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: alsamixer
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: Turn everything up
[14:47] <L3top> IngElias: and make sure nothing says "M" or "MM" at the bottom.
[14:47] <usr13> IngElias: Right and left arrows will take you channel to channel.  Up arrow will turn up.  M will toggle mute on or off.
[14:47] <IngElias> lol, it works now but wtf is PCM? Maestro was full
[14:47] <usr13> IngElias: Ok. very good.  What did you turn up?
[14:48] <usr13> IngElias: You only needed to turn up PCM?
[14:48] <IngElias> w8 no PCM was 100%, speaker was 0%
[14:48] <Ihsan_> Hello, I just set up my notebook with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. After install I also installed Gnome 3, I don't like gnome 3 actually , so I chose to use Gnome Classic from the login screen. I got a little problem. I cant get the clock set. I set it up for 24-hours clock but it still stays AM or PM, does someone know a fix for this or something? I would really appreciate :)
[14:49] <usr13> Pulse Code Modulation
[14:49] <L3top> PCM stands for pulse code modulation... but you said previously when I asked about alsamixer that _EVERYTHING_ was at 100%
[14:49]  * L3top thwaps
[14:49] <usr13> Ihsan_: Use Custom
[14:50] <Ihsan_> Custom? Is that a program or a setting? Could you pleae provide where I shold look at, since im pretty new tot his :)
[14:50] <IngElias> Sorry L3top, i misunderstood you, i'm very very new at Ubuntu and also Linux
[14:50] <IngElias> Thank u guys
[14:50] <L3top> :)np :)
[14:50] <usr13> IngElias: NP
[14:51] <IngElias> U're awesome, and Linux is awesome too i have to lunch greeting from Argentina :)
[14:52] <seumas_> Dead Parakeets
[14:53] <seumas_> good mourning :)
[14:55] <seumas_> 1600 peoples and not one is chatting....
[14:55] <seumas_> interesting
[14:56] <vooze> Every so often the GUI, sound and ALL freezes for 1-2 secounds and then comes back.. and it can happen every 1 min. sometimes.. Anyone have any idea which log i should check? (ubuntu 12.04 unity) and Nvidia driver
[14:56] <seumas_> sorry dude wish i could help you
[14:56] <seumas_> this is all new to me
[14:57] <usr13> vooze: tail -f /var/log/messages
[14:57] <usr13> vooze: Or htop
[14:58] <seumas_> I've been having issues after compiling Lubuntu that works fine till the computer gets rebooted
[14:58] <usr13> vooze: ... and see what pops to top of list ... (htop)
[14:58] <usr13> seumas_: And _______________________ ?
[14:59] <seumas_> the whole install is screwed up and haywire
[14:59] <usr13> seumas_: Define "screwed up and haywire".
[14:59] <seumas_> so I switched back to 10.04
[14:59] <seumas_> with gnome]
[15:00] <seumas_> it's just not stable
[15:00] <usr13> seumas_: How did you do that?  You re-installed?
[15:00] <kalakouentin> hello, I just install 12.04 and I am using Gnome classic, I can't find an obvious way to change the theme so I can have the close button on the upper right corner of each window (in general I can't find how to edit window border properties) any idea anyone?
[15:00] <seumas_> yeah I tried lubuntu like 5 times with the same results
[15:00] <aSHKaN> wb khan
[15:01] <vooze> usr13: will try htop :) just happend but was too slow to open htop again and nothing seems unnormal
[15:02] <seumas_> I was trying to get this 12 year old desktop with an AMD Athlon classic and 1 gig of ram functional again
[15:02] <usr13> kalakouentin: gconf-editor  See:  http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/CustomizeUbuntu #And scroll down near bottom.
[15:03] <usr13> vooze: seumas_ Try xubuntu
[15:03] <seumas_> not too much a fan of xforce
[15:03] <usr13> vooze: seumas_ sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[15:03] <usr13> seumas_: Ok, then fix what you have.
[15:03] <seumas_> ok thanks
[15:03] <flan_suse> I'm getting video tearing on an Intel HD 4000 in VLC. Is there any way to fix this? Everything I read online says it's a "video driver issue".
[15:04] <seumas_> I might just put slackware on this thing and call it good
[15:05] <bazhang> seumas_, then lubuntu is probably what you would need to consider lxde/openbox
[15:05] <seumas_> lxde kept giving me problems with this hardware
[15:05] <seumas_> when running lubintu
[15:06] <usr13> seumas_: Which is it? You have hardware issue?  Or you have problem with your Desktop Environment?
[15:06] <mneptok> seumas_: it's "XFCE" and not "xforce" (X-Force is a Marvel superhero team) :)
[15:06] <seumas_> could be the desktop enviornment
[15:07] <usr13> seumas_: You can fix lubuntu and customize it, but you  have to get your hands dirty.
[15:07] <mneptok> seumas_: what graphics are in the machine?
[15:07] <slackguru> Does anyone know anything about what is going on with UBUNTU users in conjunction with twitter?
[15:07] <seumas_> lubuntu runs fine on my netbook and laptop but for some reason it wont compile and run right on this ancent machine
[15:08] <seumas_> I am running an ATI card with 128 megs ddr ram
[15:08] <mneptok> seumas_: uh. there's nothing to compile with Lubuntu.
[15:08] <dubac0> !ubuntu+1
[15:08] <slackguru> I thought maybe it was only me until last night I got a strange message from @ubuntuview
[15:08] <dubac0> ok
[15:08] <seumas_> the cereal numbers and model are scratched off
[15:08] <mneptok> seumas_: what software are you compiling and why?
[15:09] <slackguru> It appears that ubuntu users are somehow being used for spam tweets relating to "flatter tummys", "diet pills", "ripped abs" and other "health" related spam websites.
[15:09] <seumas_> its just an old machine I salvaged to do linux distros and experiment with
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe this may be something worthy of the entire UBUNTU communities attention.
[15:10] <mneptok> slackguru: this is not the place to discuss such things. this is OS support.
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe this is OS related
[15:10] <k4r1m> does know anyone know to fix get MS exchange 5.5 working on evolution? or maybe an alternative solution? thunderbird doesn't even let me try to auth
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe it is specific to UBUNTU users
[15:10] <mneptok> slackguru: it is not a techinical issue with the OS, thus it is offtopic.
[15:10] <pront0> k4r1m: Thunderbird doesn't support Exchange does it? That's why people use Evolution
[15:11] <seumas_> it's not a thunderbird but an athlon classic
[15:11] <seumas_> :D
[15:11] <mneptok> seumas_: what software are you compiling and why?
[15:11] <slackguru> If there is a back door in one of the packages provided by cannonical that allows someone to exploit something that may be off topic, it is still on topic
[15:12] <usr13> slackguru: Spit it out.
[15:12] <mneptok> slackguru: it is offtopic. so stop.
[15:12] <k4r1m> pront0: I thought it did... regardless it doesn't work and neither does Evolution... any other solutions?
[15:12] <usr13> slackguru: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:12] <kalakouentin> usr13, sorry I can't seem to locate the options that the writer refers to in that article
[15:12] <mdob> hi. Where can I find some real small ubuntu 11.04 for server purposes/
[15:13] <usr13> kalakouentin: YOu have gnome classic?  Did you try,  gconf-editor ?
[15:13] <WayneJetSki> hello
[15:13] <santosh> How to make the "Find Files" lens default?
[15:13] <pront0> k4r1m: Evolution is the only Linux software I know of which supports Exchange. Do you have the right Exchange plugin enabled?
[15:13] <mneptok> !server > mdob
[15:13] <k4r1m> pront0, I just installed ubuntu so I don't so
[15:13] <slackguru> Let's see, I just said I believe that something in the UBUNTU operating system, specific to UBUNTU users may be compromised using the exploitation of twitter as evidence and you tell me I'm off topic? Let's take a vote.
[15:14] <pront0> k4r1m: I'd have a look at the settings then. Evolution definitely supports Exchange, it should even work with ancient versions like you're using
[15:14] <seumas_> haha!
[15:14] <mneptok> let's not.
[15:14] <usr13> slacker_1l: GIve it up dude.
[15:14] <k4r1m> prooz, it gives me an error "The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector
[15:14] <k4r1m> supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only."
[15:14] <usr13> slacker_1l: Sorry, wrong nic
[15:14] <santosh> Can anyone tell me how to make the "Find Files" lens default?
[15:14] <kalakouentin> no I'll install gconf-editor now
[15:15] <k4r1m> and I'm pretty sure the server is not running 5.5.. it's running exchange 2010
[15:15] <usr13> kalakouentin: Ok
[15:15] <mdob> !ubuntu > mdob
[15:15] <mdob> that's so cool :D
[15:16] <kalakouentin> I was using dconf editor
[15:16] <mdob> server uses 2.5 GB of disk space. I need somthing much smaller.
[15:16] <slackguru> Come on people, I am asking for your help to track an unknown exploit in the OS, I used twitter as evidence that it exists.
[15:16] <Myrtti> slackguru: this is a support channel, not a bug hunting channel
[15:16] <mneptok> slackguru: drop it, or that kick turns into a ban.
[15:16] <seumas_> ok I am installing xubuntu to see if it work :P
[15:16] <Myrtti> slackguru: please respect that - if you want to discuss it, there are other venues.
[15:16] <slackguru> dropped
[15:16] <usr13> !bug | slacker_1l
[15:17] <usr13> sorry again slacker_1l
[15:17] <slackguru> not with the knowledge in here there aren't other venues
[15:17] <usr13> !bug | slackguru
[15:17] <kalakouentin> usr13, thank you, the button_layout is now changed.
[15:17] <usr13> kalakouentin: NP
[15:18] <usr13> kalakouentin: That author tells how to customize a number of things.
[15:18] <slackguru> I'm a LaunchPad member, I am just at a loss because I can think of one package that couple possibly capture a thread from another package AND a webclient too.
[15:18] <usr13> kalakouentin: ... that are not totally evident.
[15:19] <slackguru> Sorry to bother you all with this "off-topic" stuff.
[15:20] <usr13> slacker_1l: What package?
[15:20] <bazhang> usr13, he's gone
[15:20] <usr13> slacker_1l: Sorry again.  Yea, bazhang tnx
[15:25] <mdob> any ideas how to lighten system?
[15:25] <alecb> I have a Realtek RTL8188CE wifi card and I have connectivity issues with public wifi networks (works for a few minutes, then disconnects, can't reconnect until after reboot). wat do?
[15:25] <mneptok> mdob: the question lacks the requisite specificity to form a meaningful answer.
[15:25] <bazhang> mdob, try a different DE
[15:26] <flan_suse> alecb: What version of Ubuntu?
[15:26] <bazhang> mdob such as lubuntu
[15:26] <mdob> ubuntu 11.04 server
[15:26] <mneptok> mdob: you asked about a server. install the server edition.
[15:26] <bazhang> !lubuntu > mdob
[15:26] <usr13> mdob: What Desktop Environment are you running?
[15:26] <alecb> flan_suse: 12.04
[15:26] <usr13> mdob: Sorry....
[15:26] <mneptok> mdob: and there is no reason to be installing 11.04.
[15:26] <flan_suse> alecb: Issue is only with public Wifi?
[15:26] <bazhang> mdob, lighter than server? try the minimal and build up
[15:27] <minixvbox> mdob: 11.04 support runs out next month
[15:27] <bazhang> !minimal | mdob
[15:27] <kraetzja> I'm trying to compile something with pthreads, but gcc is complaining about all the posix thread functions not being defined
[15:27] <kraetzja> i have pthread.h included, libc6-dev installed
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: mostly, I have a feeling it's just that the signal is weaker than for private wifi and this causes the disconnects
[15:27] <kraetzja> wtf is wrong
[15:27] <mdob> I've just instlled the minimal and it's still over 1 GB
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: personal wifi where I'm a few feet from the router doesn't seem to be a problem
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: (ie, it's usable, at least)
[15:27] <flan_suse> alecu: Possible, yes. Is the system a dual-boot where you can test how well Windows works with the wireless chip?
[15:28] <k4r1m> exchange 2010 anyone?
[15:28] <minixvbox> k4r1m: what sort of a question is that?
[15:28] <compdoc> k4r1m, what about it?
[15:29] <alecb> flan_suse: yup, works fine with windows
[15:29] <k4r1m> mindstorm, compdoc: how do I get it working haha
[15:29] <mdob> I've got my application build on 11.04 and I don't want to change that for the moment.
[15:29] <compdoc> install Windows Server, install Exchange. Done
[15:29] <flan_suse> alecu: Oh.
[15:30] <mdob> I've found something on JeOS what do you think about it?
[15:30] <k4r1m> compdoc, sorry I'm asking about a client that supports exchange 2010 on ubuntu
[15:30] <mneptok> k4r1m: for mail and calendar both?
[15:30] <k4r1m> afterall this is ubuntu support not M$ support.
[15:30] <dr_willis> i thought jeos was dead
[15:30] <minixvbox> mdob: derivatives are not supported here, this is just a ubuntu support channel
[15:31] <compdoc> k4r1m, ahh
[15:31] <k4r1m> mneptok, it would make my day if I get mail working
[15:31] <dr_willis> jeos used to be a ubuntu minim al variant, and official
[15:31] <compdoc> k4r1m, it support smtp and pop3 and IMAP
[15:31] <mneptok> k4r1m: just use IMAP
[15:31] <mdob> minixvbox: do you know where I can ask about JeOS?
[15:31] <mneptok> k4r1m: or this - http://darkircop.org/xdata/
[15:31] <k4r1m> my inbox doesn't have IMAP nor POP3 access
[15:31] <og01> k4r1m: also davmail maybe? http://davmail.sourceforge.net/
[15:31] <dr_willis> !jeos
[15:31] <minixvbox> mdob: never heard of it, try their website
[15:32] <nemik> hello. does anyone know how i could get X apps to load from a cgi-bin script?
[15:32] <usr13> mdob: There is also dsl
[15:32] <dr_willis> jeos i thought is a dead prooject now
[15:32] <flan_suse> alecu: You can try manually compiling the latest version of the driver, but it'll have to be recompiled after each kernel update. Probablynot worth it.
[15:32] <mdob> usr13, I know but not sure if packages are the same as in 11.04
[15:32] <flan_suse> alecb: I think the driver for rtl8188CE is in staging (rtl8192se).
[15:32] <og01> nemik: If you want what i think you want - make sure the DISPLAY enviroment variable is set on the server
[15:33] <k4r1m> og01, tried davmail and it doesn't work either.. probably because all the ports are all blocked
[15:33] <usr13> nemik: cgi-bin scripts are for a webserver.  Right?
[15:33] <usr13> mdob: I don't know, just FYI.
[15:33] <usr13> nemik: So, are you talking about web apps?
[15:34] <alecb> flan_suse: I've actually already tried this, and it didn't seem to help (though I'm not 100% sure how to check if the compiled version is actually the one being used). I also tried using the Realtek driver
[15:34] <nemik> og01: usr13: yes it is an apache cgi-bin bash script. i put DISPLAY=:0 and it is not working
[15:34] <jrib> nemik: you probably need to investigate xauth and such
[15:34] <usr13> nemik: export DISPLAY=:0.0
[15:34] <mdob> usr13, thanks anyway.
[15:35] <flan_suse> alecb: Probably not as strong under Linux?
[15:35] <nemik> usr13: yes! thank you! i didn't put export, with that it works great.
[15:35] <nemik> thank you very much
[15:35] <flan_suse> alecu: I think i used to have a laptop with the same wireless card, but the signal was strong.
[15:35] <m1k1> ciao
[15:35] <m1k1> !list
[15:36] <alecb> flan_suse: not as strong under linux? I'm trying to use the same wifi from the same location in both windows and linux, if that's what you mean
[15:38] <flan_suse> alecu: The Windows driver may be superior for the same chipset.
[15:38] <k4r1m> anything else, anyone?
[15:38] <bazhang> k4r1m, for what
[15:38] <akupedia> no idea
[15:38] <flan_suse> alecu: Assuming you get weaker signals under Linux, but not Windows.
[15:38] <alecb> flan_suse: I think I remember seeing something that would let you use the windows driver from linux? could/should I try that?
[15:38] <k4r1m> bazhang, looking for a way to get exchange 2010 mail working on ubuntu >.<
[15:38] <alecu> flan_suse: you probably mean "alecb", not me!
[15:38] <k4r1m> no IMAP nor POP3
[15:38] <bazhang> flan_suse, try tab complete. it's alecb not alecu
[15:39] <bazhang> apologies alecu
[15:39] <alecu> no prob!
[15:40] <usr13> k4r1m: Are you using evolution?
[15:40] <k4r1m> usr13: seems to only support 200-2007
[15:41] <k4r1m> tried it numerous times with no luck, it just kept crashing or telling me version 5.5 is not support which is like exchange 1998
[15:41] <flan_suse> Oh, whoops.
[15:41] <k4r1m> 1997*
[15:41] <flan_suse> alecb: Yeah, it's called ndiswrapper.
[15:42] <k4r1m> I really thought there would be proper support for exchange 2010 on linux... Do I really have to run vm to get this crap working?
[15:42] <zykotick9> k4r1m: exchange is MS prioritary "email" and your surprised it doesn't work....
[15:43] <tomreyn> k4r1m: the crap is outside of your ubuntu system in this case.
[15:43] <Queops>  Hello! https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html => Configuring SASL, I can't find what it wants me to edit on /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
[15:43] <bazhang> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-2010-in-ubuntu-12-04-using-wine-1-5/    k4r1m read this
[15:44] <usr13> k4r1m: From the research I just did, it appears to work.
[15:44] <k4r1m> i'm not saying it's ubuntu's vault.. all I'm saying there has to be other users facing the same problem and a lot of them and there is should be software to get it working
[15:44] <bazhang> usr13, it does, with wine
[15:44] <flan_suse> alecb: A tool to help you do it is called: ndisgtk
[15:44] <k4r1m> yeah it install with wine I tried it but outlook doesn't work, just crashes
[15:44] <usr13> bazhang: I see.
[15:44] <bazhang> k4r1m, then check th e LINK i just gave you
[15:44] <flan_suse> alecu: You can download it from the repository. It's known as "Windows Wireless Drivers" in your menu.
[15:45] <k4r1m> bazhang, alright I'll try that it looks a little different
[15:45] <bazhang> k4r1m, it works perfectly fine with wine
[15:45] <alecb> flan_suse: mhm, reading through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[15:46] <tomreyn> Queops: are you on ubuntu 12.04 then?
[15:46] <Queops> tomreyn: correct
[15:46] <usr13> k4r1m: http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000378.htm
[15:46] <k4r1m> bazhang, I'll report back in  a few thanks
[15:46] <flan_suse> alejandr1: ndisgtk (aka: Windows Wireless Drivers) is a user-friendly GUI method.
[15:46] <flan_suse> I mean... alecb.
[15:46] <Queops> tomreyn: seems there are new config files (yay!....) if you could help me set this up I would appreciate it
[15:47] <guest-wOaf7e> hey guys. i need some help. i think ive done something i shouldnt and now i cant access all my files which are on my user. atm im using guest user, so nothing in terminal works for me
[15:47] <usr13> bazhang: What I'm seeing is that you can get native evolution to work.
[15:47] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, did what
[15:47] <tomreyn> Queops: so is the dovecot configuration file not available a /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ? or are you unable to locate the "auth default" section in it?
[15:47] <k4r1m> usr13: I read that page earlier... ended up with evolution crashing
[15:47] <usr13> k4r1m: O
[15:47] <bazhang> usr13, ok. I saw the wine solution
[15:47] <tomreyn> Queops: new config files? as nin newer than which ones, and where are those?
[15:47] <guest-wOaf7e> are there any ways to get permissions to open root directory and copy my files?
[15:47] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: weren't you told earlier to backup your stuff because you can log in via tty
[15:48] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, what did you do exactly. please give details
[15:48] <guest-wOaf7e> how to backup in tty?
[15:48] <usr13> bazhang: k4r1m Ok well if you can get it to work under wine, you should be good to go.
[15:48] <k4r1m> let me give evolution another try and if it doesn't work ill try that wine office guide
[15:48] <minixvbox> !tty | guest-wOaf7e
[15:49] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: ive installed some kind of amd drivers and then my laptop suddenly crashed Oo
[15:49] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, backup home? or what precisely. please be very clear
[15:49] <Queops> tomreyn: dovecot-core (1:2.0.19-0ubuntu2) just said that it created a lot of new version of config files
[15:49] <Queops> tomreyn: and no theres nothing there related to socket listen
[15:49] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installed from where. why not start in recovery mode then
[15:50] <usr13> bazhang: k4r1m All that I see is pretty old.  So I don't know.  I've really not  worked through that problem myself.
[15:50] <Queops> tomreyn: the file still exists though
[15:50] <k4r1m> OH SHIT IT WORKED
[15:50] <k4r1m> loooL
[15:50] <usr13> k4r1m: Ok, there you go.
[15:50] <bazhang> k4r1m, no cursing here
[15:50] <minixvbox> !language | k4r1m
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: im new on linux
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang:  so its kinda difficult for me with all those recovery modes
[15:50] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installed the drivers from where
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: or tty
[15:51] <guest-wOaf7e> on amd radeon web pages
[15:51] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, you're not answering my question
[15:51] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: get a livecd/usb then and copy your files
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> minivbox about the tty?
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> minixvbox: how i can backup in tty
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> ?
[15:53] <k4r1m> I'm going on a victory lap around the office, thanks guys!
[15:53] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: Is this just a display problem?
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> not only display
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> i cant enter my own user
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> and cant access all my files/folders
[15:53] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: Have you forgotten the password?
[15:53] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installing video drivers would not hvae that effect
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: im telling you, im new on linux -.-
[15:54] <minixvbox> usr13: yes, he is having a display problem, he can't login because it throws him back to the login screen but guest account works fine
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> mini!!!!!!!!
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> your right!
[15:54] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: You might just do:  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[15:54] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, please tell us where you got the drivers from, exactly
[15:54] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: you were on earlier and i remember
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> and i want to fix it
[15:54] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: sudo
[15:55] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: You might just do: sudo  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[15:55] <guest-wOaf7e> in tty?
[15:55] <usr13> sure
[15:55] <killer_> sometimes when i close my laptop lid n opens after sometime ....then ....screen remains blank .....tty's work though...n i have to close it using power button which sometimes cause data loss
[15:55] <guest-wOaf7e> minixvbox: yea, im here for like whole day and cant find the solution to repair this shit lol
[15:56] <_XMENDES> hy guys.. any method to wath netflix dyscovery?
[15:56] <minixvbox> !language | guest-wOaf7e
[15:56] <_XMENDES> watch*
[15:56] <usr13> killer_: How much RAM do you have?
[15:56] <minixvbox> _XMENDES: netflix uses silverlight so no
[15:56] <killer_> 2 gb :usr13
[15:56] <usr13> killer_: How large is your swap partition?
[15:56] <_XMENDES> and using virtual machine?
[15:56] <killer_> 3.6 gb swap :usr13
[15:57] <usr13> killer_: Ok.
[15:57] <dr_willis> netflix on windows in vbox works
[15:57] <_XMENDES> i read on web, about android vm.
[15:57] <killer_> i have set do nothin on lid close :usr13
[15:57] <dr_willis> easier to go get a roku
[15:57] <minixvbox> _XMENDES: sure, but a whole windows vm just for netflix sounds overkill
[15:57] <zak_> what mplayer command shall i use to extract a 356kbps mp3 file  from an .mp4 video ?
[15:57] <bane_> Hi, there, can ny one tell me a good downloader for ubnutu
[15:57] <_XMENDES> yep :/
[15:57] <bane_> something on the lines of IDM for windows?
[15:57] <usr13> killer_: If you do Ctrl-F6 and then Ctrl-F7  does it recover?
[15:58] <leaftwig> How do I play 3 sound files continually simultaneously?
[15:58] <_XMENDES> the android VM works on netflix?
[15:58] <zykotick9> zak_: you can use mplayer to dump to WAV (then encode the WAV) with "mplayer -vo null -ao pcm foo"
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: with ______________ ?
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: play file1 file2 file3
[15:58] <Queops> tomreyn: no luck understanding it as well?
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: or:  mplayer file1 file2 file3
[15:58] <_XMENDES> anyone did test this ?
[15:59] <usr13> leaftwig: Oh, you want to play them at the same time?
[15:59] <tomreyn> Queops: i'm getting sidetracked, sorry
[15:59] <usr13> _XMENDES: What?
[15:59] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  vbox + winxp works.  no idea on android.  i would doubt it
[16:00] <leaftwig> uh huh :3
[16:00] <_XMENDES> on wine it works???
[16:00] <leaftwig> can i open multiple terminals and set sox to repeat and continually play my favorite noises? :D :D :D
[16:00] <bane_> any IDM equivalent for ubuntu?
[16:00] <_XMENDES> i gonna try on wine
[16:00] <Queops> tomreyn: basically what i understand so far is that dovecot.conf still exists but so do other 16 other config files lol
[16:00] <akis> hi all. how can i restore message and sound indicator in my panel?
[16:00] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  netflix in wine is a no..
[16:00] <theadmin> bane_: gwget, jdownloader, kget
[16:01] <_XMENDES> :/
[16:01] <_XMENDES> netflix gonna loose a lot users because this issue.
[16:01] <theadmin> _XMENDES: It's not their issue... They're not "losing" any users, their users never used Linux in the first place.
[16:02] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  they havent so far....
[16:02] <usr13> _XMENDES: They never had me....
[16:02] <akis> i find. its indicator lugin.
[16:02] <dr_willis> if i want netflix, i fire up my boxeebox, or the roku
[16:02] <aaa801> I converted my root partition to btrfs and now i get error mounting / on boot, when droping to the recovery shell /dev/sda1 (the btrfs) partition is mounted on / and is accessable
[16:02] <aaa801> Any ideas?
[16:02] <_XMENDES> i dont understand.. my wdtv live use unix OS. and works.
[16:02] <tomreyn> Queops: please post the output of the command where it reported that, as well as your current dovecot.conf to a !pastebin
[16:02] <killer_> what does ctrl-f6 do ..?
[16:03] <bane_> any one can help me??
[16:03] <bazhang> bane_, with what
[16:03] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  the port specific clients.
[16:03] <Queops> tomreyn: sure thing sec
[16:03] <dr_willis> they port..
[16:03] <Queops> !pastebin
[16:04] <theadmin> aaa801: Your filesystem in /etc/fstab may be misspecified.
[16:04] <skorasaurus> hi, I have an acer aspire 5560, w/ amd radeon 6520g gfx card. I currently have ffglrx installed but my system is often sluggish. How can I speed it up (besides a new gfx card, natch) ?
[16:04] <aaa801> theadmin: Nope its specified correctly
[16:04] <dr_willis> skorasaurus: depeds on what you do with it
[16:04] <Queops> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218912/
[16:04] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. Having a hard time installing matlab student version on ubuntu 12.04. Anyone know of a good writeup on why xsetup fails?
[16:05] <killer_> do u mean ctrl-alt-f7:usr13?
[16:05] <theadmin> aaa801: Hm, okay then, not entirely sure what else
[16:05] <rgenito> is there anyway i can make Ubuntu recognize that shift+space should also be treated as a space?
[16:05] <aaa801> theadmin: looks ok? UUID=fcdab42f-6d80-44b0-a38d-53ef6f38d811 /	btrfs	errors=remount-ro	0	1
[16:05] <rgenito> its kind of annoying with my style of typing -_-
[16:06] <theadmin> aaa801: Looks fine
[16:06] <skorasaurus> dr_willis: It's often sluggish, when I have multiple windows open in firefox or generally using apps like qgis or gimp. I don't game.
[16:06] <dr_willis> skorasaurus:  more ram, and a ssd hd = big gains
[16:07] <skorasaurus> it's a newer system and I don't think it's configured correctly, given that it has 4gb of ram, quad-core amd processor.
[16:08] <dr_willis> ssd helped my 8gb  pc greatly
[16:08] <rgenito> 8gb ram?
[16:08] <dr_willis> yes
[16:08] <rgenito> dude, ssd's are the shit
[16:08] <ElixirVitae> Hi~
[16:08] <bazhang> rgenito, no cursing here
[16:08] <ElixirVitae> Is there a lirc tutorial for 12.04
[16:08] <dr_willis> ssd = 10 sec boot for a $100 investmenttt
[16:09] <rgenito> i just got a vizio ultrabook. freakin super sweet. almost as sweet as a macbook air
[16:09] <compdoc> skorasaurus, you using the proprietary video driver?
[16:09] <ElixirVitae> Infrared remote control program I got from software center keeps crashing
[16:09] <rgenito> bazhang, my bad...keep forgettin :(
[16:09] <dr_willis> rgenito:  less $$$ i bet
[16:09] <tomreyn> Queops: thanks. looks like this how-to wasn't really written for 12.04 but an older release. you should find the relevant configuration section in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf
[16:09] <rgenito> dr_willis, yup, i think $400 less
[16:10] <Queops> tomreyn: was exactly my thoughts, that was the first file i checked, there is however nothing similar
[16:10] <rgenito> for ~4 more hours  less battery life and a HORRIBLE track pad... i'll take the $400 price cut :)
[16:10] <skorasaurus> fglrx at the moment. 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1
[16:10] <tomreyn> Queops: if it's not there either it should be in one of these files: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-master.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-static.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext
[16:10] <rgenito> the vizio's screen is 1600x900 too :D
[16:10] <skorasaurus> wondering if I should do fglrx-updates and if it will improve performance.
[16:11] <popsch> I have a backup every 30min with 600k files (hard links) on an encrypted external drive with an ext4 fs. Now deleting these takes a long time. Any ideas how I can speed up the clean up (=deleting) process?
[16:11] <Queops> tomreyn: is it possible that the guide for 12.10 is being made as we speak and we can take a peek at the "beta" documentation, maybe it changed?
[16:11] <rgenito> and it's running ubuntu. pretty happy with it so far even though the linux world always manages to have 1 pain to get over
[16:11] <gordonjcp> rgenito: that's true of all OSes ;-)
[16:12] <Brent> Anyone running photoshop in virtualbox? Do you see any performance hickups?
[16:12] <Queops> tomreyn: sadly it's nowhere on those :\
[16:12] <OerHeks> Brent photoshop in wine is sad
[16:12] <rgenito> gordonjcp, nah, i'd say it's not true for OSX:)
[16:12] <compdoc> skorasaurus, many things can slow a pc, like hard drive and the amount of ram, and the speed of the cpu. But video drivers on linux are still often weak. Turn off that driver and use the default Ubuntu drivers. Thats the only driver I use on my servers.
[16:12] <aaa801> MHm its not letting me remount the drive as rw, keeps spiting out that / isnt mounted even though i can view it
[16:13] <Brent> OerHeks yeah I tried that route and wasnt satisfied either
[16:13] <tomreyn> Queops: ok, give me 5 minutes, then i'll take a proper look for you. just finishing my pizza :-)
[16:13] <Queops> tomreyn: no worries, it's either that or me researching about the socket listen thing
[16:13] <akis> dolhpin has the option to open zip archives as folders. ubuntu's file manager has the option? is there any other option to get this feature without using dolphin under gnome?
[16:14] <xibalba> .
[16:14] <roger_padactor> hello, I've been having trouble with my ubuntu ssh server connections. so i looked at its dns and its set to name server  127.0.0.1 and another one my router provides… So I changed 127.0.0.1 to my router 10.0.1.1 and added 8.8.8.8 for good measure. but I still get the hang ups.  Its so random
[16:14] <Brent> I currently dual boot just for Photoshop but thinking about going VB so I dont need to restart
[16:14] <aaa801> mount -o remount,rw / returns "/ not mounted or bad option"
[16:14] <skorasaurus> i had the default drivers installed earlier, unfortunately, and my system was as sluggish then.
[16:14] <akis> ubuntu's file manager=natilius
[16:15] <bluegenes> hi
[16:16] <skorasaurus> so i tried to install fglrx to see if it would improve performance, it did, although marginally.
[16:16] <bluegenes> how can I get "connect to a server" to open the connection in the file manager window and not chromium?
[16:17] <compdoc> skorasaurus, do you think its the video perfomance? Or is it how fast programs open
[16:17] <m4rku5> is there any way I can install 12.10 beta if X won't come up (graphics driver is broken unitl 3.6-rc6)?
[16:18] <ohzie> unless: what
[16:18] <skorasaurus> compdoc: I'm trying to determine that.
[16:18] <skorasaurus> It is a bit of both.
[16:18] <zykotick9> m4rku5: reask in #ubuntu+1
[16:18] <compdoc> skorasaurus, open the disk utility. you can read-benchmark the drive
[16:19] <compdoc> skorasaurus, and check the drive's heatlh while youre there
[16:20] <skorasaurus> avg read rate, 55 mb/s, access time, 17mb/s
[16:20] <bluegenes> anyone?
[16:20] <skorasaurus> access, 17ms*
[16:21] <compdoc> thats decent. not horrible
[16:21] <bekks> Which tools produces these values?
[16:21] <bekks> -s
[16:22] <compdoc> mine shows 90.8 Mb/s average, but its a new drive
[16:22] <skorasaurus> bluegenes: have you checked chromium preferences ?
[16:22] <skorasaurus> mine is only 5400rpm.
[16:22] <compdoc> I think this one is too
[16:22] <bekks> skorasaurus: Which tool gives you these values?
[16:22] <compdoc> access 17.8
[16:22] <skorasaurus> bekks: sorry, disk utility.
[16:22] <Ihsan_> Hello, I need some help (with something that you will find stupid, maybe) but, when I slow down audio with FN+F11 key or make it higher with FN+12, or adjusting brightness screen, I normally got nice utility that showed the percentage of the audio that was right on the top, but now it has changed, its on the bottom and its ugly and pixelated. Does someone know do I have to enable something? i would really apreaciate
[16:23] <bekks> Better use some more reliable tool like hdparm.
[16:23] <bekks> and/or smartctl.
[16:23] <skorasaurus> fwiw, i have 2 firefox windows open with 12-15 tabs each.
[16:23] <skorasaurus> too.
[16:23] <compdoc> bekks, its reliable enough for a quick test
[16:23] <savio> i'm using DC++ client and my isp put limit of 2gb download per session after downloading 2gb my connection drop and to reconnect it i need to restart network-manager what should i do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/71528/make-network-manager-restart-after-dropped-connection script in this url is safe
[16:23] <dr_willis> why doo you need 15 tabs open at a time....
[16:24] <bluegenes> skorasaurus, i mean, how do I get Ubuntu to open an ftp in a normal window and not Chromium
[16:24] <compdoc> skorasaurus, thats a lot of tabs
[16:24] <bluegenes> skorasaurus, that wouldn't be in chromium settings, would it?
[16:24] <dr_willis> sounds like you need moar ram, and rethink your work habbits
[16:24] <skorasaurus> honestly, just all of the threads I've been reading in askubuntu based on this.
[16:24] <daviddoria> I installed the gcc-4.7-base package, but g++ --version still says 4.6. Do I have to uninstall the 4.6 package?
[16:24] <skorasaurus> dr_willis: good to know.
[16:24] <compdoc> skorasaurus, how much ram?
[16:25] <bekks> daviddoria: Because you need to install the g++ package
[16:25] <daviddoria> bekks, the g++ package looks like only 4.6?
[16:27] <bekks> daviddoria: Thats correct so far.
[16:28] <skorasaurus> 4gb, ddr3. I have this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215371
[16:28] <daviddoria> bekks, and "sudo apt-get install g++-4.7" doesn't work (couldn't find any package)
[16:28] <tomreyn> Queops: the documentation on the wiki page you pointed me to is for dovecot 1.x, but dovecot 2.x is in ubuntu 12.04 and later, and the configuration has changes quite a bit there. I suggest you use this one instead: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL
[16:28] <Queops> tomreyn: so for that particular step
[16:29] <Queops> tomreyn: I go into the 10-master and add that?
[16:29] <Queops> as per dovecot wiki
[16:29] <kodak> How do i firstly, enable SLI for nvidia drivers and secondly, make sure its actually on?
[16:30] <tomreyn> Queops: exactly
[16:30] <Queops> tomreyn: Thank you, I will try it
[16:31] <skorasaurus> given this setup that I mentioned, are there other benchmark and assessment tools to see if my system is not optimized ?
[16:31] <kodak> i tried nvidia-xconfig --sli=on, but  it still looks like sli is not on
[16:31] <tomreyn> Queops: note that i have not checked whether the modifications to postfix' configuration you may already have made by now are in line with those modifications to postfix' configuration discussed on the web page i just pointed you to.
[16:31] <bekks> daviddoria: According to packages.ubuntu.com there is no 4.7 for g++
[16:31] <rgenito> ok question!
[16:32] <rgenito> can anyone else here input a "space" by pressing the space bar + shift at the same time?
[16:32] <Out`Of`Control> Hi all i have ubuntu 13 running
[16:33] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, perhaps you mean 12.04
[16:33] <Queops> tomreyn: this is a fresh postfix install I was just simply following the guide
[16:33] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  no 13
[16:33] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, there is no such thing
[16:33] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  on startup i see Ubuntu 13
[16:34] <bazhang> !version | Out`Of`Control
[16:34] <dr_willis> time to clean your glasses
[16:34] <bazhang> provide us with that Out`Of`Control
[16:34] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  its linuxMint 13 i wonder what happen that i see Ubuntu 13 after some kernel updates
[16:34] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, mint is NOT supported here
[16:35] <bazhang> !mintsupport | Out`Of`Control
[16:35] <dr_willis> version number is year/month of release fpr ubuntu
[16:35] <tomreyn> Queops: ok, i'm just saying you may need to roll back your changes to main.cf to be sure you still have the default configuration before you start making changes to it as the new instructions i pointed you to suggests.
[16:35] <Queops> tomreyn: oh yes, ill be alert, cheers
[16:36] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  so why i see Ubuntu 13?
[16:36] <tomreyn> Queops: on a side note there is also #ubuntu-server where you may  have more luck getting feedback on server related questions (for the future)
[16:36] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, its mint. it's not supported here
[16:36] <Queops> tomreyn: yeh I went there first
[16:36] <OerHeks> Out`Of`Control, ask in mint, it is a mint issue :-D
[16:36] <IBH> Hello,  Question 1: I got 2 questions. I just installed bumblebee-gui (just rand INSTALL in the map) But I don't know how to activate bumblebee gui, I couldnt find any information about it. Do you know where I need to look to enable the bumblbee-gui?   Question 2: I dont know if you support this here, but I would like to have the map icon (Orange-like) changed in green map icon, could you give me some link about more info about it?  I w
[16:36] <nhocht> how do format usb was write protect? help me!
[16:37] <OerHeks> IBH, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee > add repo & sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
[16:37] <dr_willis> un-write protect it
[16:38] <OerHeks> IBH, there is a #bumblebee channel here on freenode too, those guys are up2date
[16:38] <Queops> tomreyn: you were right, the sasl_path is auth now and not auth-client, i hope thats the only issue haha
[16:39] <nhocht> how do format usb was write protect? help me!
[16:39] <dr_willis> un-write protect it nhocht  then use gparted is one way
[16:41] <kodak> i have googled around, and it seems the way to activate SLI for nvidia cards is nvidia-xconfig --sli=on, but that doesnt seem to work, wat do?
[16:42] <dr_willis> kodak:  you did restart the x server after using that command?
[16:42] <kodak> aye, i logged out(which is enough, right?)
[16:42] <joancreus> hmm i need help. something really weird is happening. i'm writing from a recent box which has an intel i5 cpu, pretty good afaik. ubuntu 12.04. The CPU usage is really really high and often the computer crashes and restarts. Be it firefox, git cloning and resolving deltas... even when i use cpulimit it crasbes. the weirdest thing is, a 2002 box w/ a centrino & ubuntu 12.04 has no problem...
[16:42] <dr_willis> no....
[16:42] <joancreus> ...doing the same tasks. what is happening?!
[16:42] <kodak> doh
[16:43] <dr_willis> sudo service lightdm restart
[16:43] <nhocht> how do format usb was write protect? help me!
[16:43] <dr_willis> un-write protect it nhocht  then use gparted is one way
[16:43] <kodak> ah, thanks dr_jesus
[16:43] <kodak> oops, dr_willis
[16:43] <bazhang> nhocht, you've gotten the answer several times. please stop repeating
[16:43] <ElixirVitae> Is there a lirc tutorial for 12.04
[16:43] <h00k> joancreus: I'd start be doing a memory test to make sure your hardware is okay
[16:44] <h00k> joancreus: the next thing I'd look at is your hard drive to make sure it isn't failing
[16:44] <joancreus> yeah, i think it must be hardware
[16:44] <joancreus> memtest?
[16:44] <h00k> joancreus: yep
[16:46] <joancreus> ok, bye, memtest needs live cd booting
[16:47] <joancreus> h00k: no way to run it w/o livecd, right?
[16:47] <h00k> joancreus: yeah, you need to either run it from a liveCD or from your grub menu
[16:47] <joancreus> ok
[16:47] <h00k> joancreus: hold left shift when you power on, it'll be at the bottom of your options there
[16:47] <joancreus> bye
[16:47] <joancreus> thanks for everything!
[16:48] <h00k> joancreus: good luck, let us know!
[16:48] <h00k> bah.
[16:48] <kodak> damn, sli is still not activated, are there other commands i should run with nvidia-xconfig --sli=on?
[16:49] <akis> which is the easiest way (if any) to move unity launcher down on 12.04?
[16:49] <dr_willis> how are you even testing if its on?
[16:49] <dr_willis> akis:  theres some unsupported hacks. check omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites
[16:50] <kodak> dr_willis, i check the heat of the gpu's, if only one is hot, then i know AFR isnt on
[16:50] <patr|ck> hello, how can i stop rhythmbox from importing the entire ~/Music directory?
[16:50] <dr_willis> kodak:  dosent  check when?
[16:50] <dr_willis> oops. class.. bbl
[16:50] <akis> i googled enough and i found some of them. can i trust them?
[16:51] <djbenny> afternoon
[16:51] <djbenny> dont suppose anyone can help me out with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2060806
[16:52] <patr|ck> djbenny, have you tried the "alternate install cd" and selected the install method for advanced/experienced users?
[16:52] <rjune> ok, so precise did away with the system tray. I'm trying to use blueproximity, the qui for which is pretty much only available via system tray.
[16:53] <rjune> How do I get the system tray back?
[16:53] <djbenny> patr|ck: i've tried various iso's all with similar outcomes

[16:54] <Ihsan_> Hello, I'm back with a new problem. :) Well, this is also very stupid, but when I entered my mouse settings, the mouse acceeleration and sensitivity were both on the lowest level, but I played with them a bit and didnt like the new result, so I put them both again on lowest, but my mouse is now feeling very weird, I cant concentrate on my mouse anymore. Is there a option to reset my mouse settings to default? Thanks
[16:54] <bazhang> djbenny, please provide a synopsis
[16:54] <tomreyn> Queops: yw
[16:54] <Queops> tomreyn: and yeh it's kinda sad that a LTS release documentation is oudated
[16:54] <djbenny> bazhang: ubuntu wont install, comes up with screen as shown in forum post
[16:56] <tomreyn> Queops: i'm sure some of the many hours which went into developing new features, would have been better spent on such basic things. But then they need to have new and shiny things they can present so as to make money.
[16:57] <Queops> tomreyn: ye, if it wasn't for the awesome documentation of some software projects I would be doomed
[16:58] <Queops> Can't go into the source code to check out stuff :P
[17:07] <dragonslay> i want to copy a certain range of blocks in hdd, is it possible to do that with dd if i have the starting block number?
[17:08] <TJ-> dragonslay: Yes. "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=somefile.bin bs=512 count=34 skip=<logical-sector-offset>
[17:09] <TJ-> dragonslay: 'skip' is a multiplier of whatever 'bs' (blocksize) is. So is you're dealing with sectors of 512 bytes, bs=512 and 'skip' will be the sector offset from start of the device
[17:09] <TJ-> dragonslay: bs=512 skip=4 will start at device offset 2048 bytes
[17:10] <dragonslay> TJ-: 0x48B0A6D000 - this is the sector i want to reach.. how can i include that in command..
[17:10] <savio> anyone?
[17:10] <TJ-> dragonslay: You convert it to decimal :)
[17:10] <bazhang> savio, anyone what?
[17:10] <genii-around> There's an interesting article somewhere about how to use dd to copy subpartitions from within an image of the complete drive
[17:10] <savio> i'm using DC++ client and my isp put limit of 2gb download per session after downloading 2gb my connection drop and to reconnect it i need to restart network-manager what should i do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/71528/make-network-manager-restart-after-dropped-connection script in this url is safe
[17:10] <bazhang> savio, safe? did you try it?
[17:11] <savio> not yet
[17:11] <savio> do you have any other idea?
[17:11] <bazhang> savio, this is helping to bypass ISP regulations?
[17:12] <Queops> tomreyn: actually a good email server + imap + pop3 + mysql guide is needed for ubuntu, it's a barrier to new system admins
[17:12] <klpkt> I can't access the internet on my ubuntu machine. I am connected to the network, thanks to brobostigon at #ubuntu-uk, but I still can't access the network because "The DNS lookup failed"
[17:12] <klpkt> Can anyone help?
[17:13] <genii-around> klpkt: But you can ping machines on the internet at large by their IP directly?
[17:13] <savio> bazhang, in windows box when dc client get discconect it automatically reconnect
[17:14] <klpkt> genii-around: I tried pinging, but it says unknown host.
[17:14] <klpkt> genii-around: The browser says "Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.
[17:14] <TJ-> klpkt: At a terminal try this, tell us if you get a response: "ping 109.74.197.122"
[17:14] <ubuntwoo> alright ive got a doozy... when I choose to "shutdown", ubuntu 12.04 closes my programs, goes black, then logs me off and sits me at the login screen. If I attempt to shut down from the login screen nothing happens
[17:15] <ubuntwoo> how can i diagnose this?
[17:15] <profiler1982> is it unity part of compiz. am think is not (bad eng) please response (ubuntu-rs)
[17:15] <genii-around> klpkt: If you do: ping -c9  74.125.226.78     does it find that IP? ( it belongs to Google)
[17:15] <dragonslay> TJ-: how do i convert that to decimal?
[17:15] <tomreyn> Queops: i don't think it's neccessarily needed to duplicate the configuration instructions those softwares' developers provide already. but it would be good to make them well available, and to offer guides on choosing the right mail stack.
[17:16] <TJ-> dragonslay: echo "ibase=16; print 48B0A6D000" | bc
[17:16] <klpkt> genii-around: Now it says that the network is unreachable.
[17:16] <Queops> tomreyn: yes I agree, with maybe some notes on ubuntu specific problems
[17:17] <Queops> tomreyn: but I guess not duplicate would defeat the point of these guides wouldnt it
[17:17] <Queops> tomreyn: maybe if the guides would be more of guidelines with external resources
[17:17] <tomreyn> Queops: providing outdated instructions pretty much does, too ;)
[17:19] <tomreyn> redhat has some good server guides, i can imagine they wanted to have something along those lines with their product name on it.
[17:19] <genii-around> klpkt: How is your computer supposed to connect to the internet? eg: internet->modem->computer  or internet->modem->switch/wifi->computer  or some other thing
[17:20] <dragonslay> TJ-: if i want to copy 500mb of data from that point, should i set count to 500mb?
[17:20] <TJ-> dragonslay: No. You should set it to 500MB / 512 (count is the number of 'bs' sized blocks to read
[17:20] <klpkt> genii-around: I don't know (And you're probably hear that a lot. I said it A Lot on the other channel)
[17:21] <CJKay> Hulp. Libreoffice doesn't work with Ubuntu's font
[17:21] <CJKay> Just boxes, boxes everywhere
[17:21] <bazhang> CJKay, sure it does. what language setting
[17:22] <klpkt> genii-around: I know I saw it somewhere, though. I just can't remember where!
[17:22] <usr13> CJKay: What kind of file did you open?
[17:22] <CJKay> usr13: I didn't. The menus, the bars, everything is just boxes
[17:22] <usr13> CJKay: O
[17:22] <CJKay> klpkt: en_GB.UTF-8
[17:22] <dragonslay> TJ-: sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=reco.bin bs=500MB/512 count=34 skip=609768296 - this one is correct?
[17:23] <Icehawk78> I'm having an issue with compiz vastly inflating itself after I leave my computer running for a bit of time. I'm not 100% certain if it only happens when I lock my screen, but after using my computer for ~4-5 hours today on a fresh reboot, compiz is currently using 1.8 GB of ram
[17:24] <Queops> Woah
[17:24] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. So you must pay some company for internet access of some kind. They must have given you a gadget that would usually either connect to your phone line or to your television cable cord ( there are other kinds but these are the most common).  Do you know what the box they gave you connects to?
[17:24] <bazhang> Icehawk78, sounds like a regression (bug)
[17:24] <Icehawk78> I'm assuming it's either a bad plugin or something weird that I've configured, but I have no clue where to start looking for this.
[17:25] <CJKay> bazhang: That reply was meant for you, not klpkt. Sorry
[17:25] <bazhang> Icehawk78, you could test by disabling various plugins for a start
[17:25] <TJ-> dragonslay: no. You can't do calculations as part of the parameters to 'dd' . You have to work the values out in decimal, first, and use those directly
[17:25] <joancreus> h00k: i've (tried to) run memtest, but the computer crashed and couldn't complete (circa 60%)
[17:26] <joancreus> until that point, no errors i think
[17:26] <joancreus> what else can i do?
[17:26] <joancreus> thanks
[17:26] <TJ-> dragonslay: And remember -'skip' is the number of 512-byte sectors to miss, so make sure 'skip' is in sectors not bytes
[17:26] <Icehawk78> bazhang: One slight issue with that, is that it tends to take ~half a day or so to inflate (ie if I just lock my screen and then unlock it, it doesn't inflate, and it's not bloated from an initial --replace)
[17:26] <klpkt> genii-around: According to my parents, we have a broadband/ADSL/something...
[17:27] <bazhang> Icehawk78, so something related to screensaver/lock and compiz settings then, perhaps
[17:28] <dragonslay> TJ-: I've divided the decimal value of 48B0A6D000 by 512 to get skip=609768296 .
[17:28] <klpkt> genii-around: The router page/thingie says that it's Internet>router>computer.
[17:28] <genii-around> klpkt: OK, so it connects to the phone line. Now, that gadget is the modem. A lot of modems also have extra plugs on them that are slightly wider than a phone jack, that is how you normally connect computers to it.
[17:29] <genii-around> klpkt: Does your computer have a cord currently attached which connects it to the modem/router?
[17:29] <klpkt> No, it's connected wirelessly.
[17:30] <TJ-> dragonslay: OK. It's something with dd you always have to double-check else you get the wrong data. It's even worse when you're writing to an offset with 'seek' !
[17:31] <d-will> has anyone had any problems with the humble indie bundle 6 and 12.04?
[17:31] <bazhang> d-will, what issues
[17:31] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. If you issue:  iwlist wlan0 scan     ...does it show the name of your router?
[17:31] <d-will> two problems actually one wiht torchlight and one with dustforce
[17:32] <andrealto98> have you ever played at Happy Wheels?
[17:32] <genii-around> klpkt: ( the line which starts with: ESSID )
[17:32] <d-will> Torchlight worked at first and then by my mistake I set the resolution incorrectly
[17:32] <andrealto98> ??
[17:32] <bazhang> andrealto98, whats that
[17:32] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes
[17:32] <andrealto98> nothing... a question
[17:33] <bazhang> andrealto98, and connection to ubuntu support?
[17:33] <kodak> i cant get sli to work :( according to google, you just nvidia-xconfig --sli=on or --sli=AFR, but nothing seems to work(and yes, i restart X)
[17:33] <andrealto98> yes
[17:33] <d-will> now it shows up as just a black keyhole sized rectangle and exits after about 30 secs
[17:33] <andrealto98> yes bazhang
[17:33] <bazhang> andrealto98, which is what?
[17:33] <genii-around> klpkt: Good. In the other info there, does it say something like WEP or WPA or WPA2 ?
[17:34] <d-will> I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both threw the software center and through the terminal
[17:34] <andrealto98> bazhang don't know
[17:34] <d-will> just comes back the same small rectangle that quits after 30 seconds
[17:34] <bazhang> !ot | andrealto98
[17:34] <TJ-> d-will: check your home directory for a hidden file/directory created by that app (or the bundle) where config settings are stored
[17:34] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes, it says IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
[17:34] <bazhang> d-will, a video driver issue perhaps?
[17:35] <andrealto98> ah... thank you bazhang!
[17:35] <d-will> bazhang... it worked until it went to the wrong resolution setting
[17:35] <bazhang> d-will, from which res to which res
[17:35] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. If you put: apt-cache policy wpasupplicant    does it say that program is installed?
[17:36] <d-will> TJ I have checked around and didn't find anything, will check again
[17:36] <genii-around> Work, back in 3-5 minutes
[17:36] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes
[17:36] <TJ-> d-will: best way is to start the program under supervision of 'strace' and write a log-file of file accesses: e.g. "strace -o myprog.log -fe trace=file /path/to/my/binary"
[17:37] <d-will> bazhang, it was working at 800 x 600 and all the way up to 1366 x768
[17:37] <d-will> then the top one was 8 - something... I didn't mean to select that one but did on accident
[17:37] <TJ-> d-will: then after the program is closed, use a text-editor to go through the log-file looking for accesses to files in your home directory with a name beginning with a "."
[17:37] <bazhang> d-will, does a reset help with that?
[17:37] <kodak> oh, and another problem google isnt helping with. i bought SPAZ from indie bundle, and i have no sound :(
[17:38] <d-will> bazhang, no
[17:38] <d-will> TJ, I don't have any expirence working with logfiles really... Where would I find the logfile?
[17:40] <TJ-> d-will: if you just use an option like "-o myprog.log" you'll find "myprog.log" in the current directory. So if you make sure you're in your home directory when you run it, that's where you'll find it. To make sure of that, do "cd ~" before anything else
[17:40] <usr13> TJ-: just cd  will do
[17:41] <Icehawk78> bazhang: As an update from before, it looks like I'm actually succumbing to this:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/914773
[17:41] <genii-around> klpkt: OK, good. So at this point, you need to dig out what is supposed to be the password for it. Don't tell me what it is. Then: sudo nano /etc/wpa.conf      and I will give you a link with the contents to put in that file.
[17:42] <TJ-> d-will: in the log-file you'll be looking for open(...) function calls and a file/directory name something like ".torchlight" or ".humble" or ".hib" or anything that suggests it is related to the bundle. The main thing is, the config file path will be in your home directory, so you can discount any file paths that don't start "/home/<your-user-name>/"
[17:42] <klpkt> genii-around: That almost sounded like you were going to do a magic trick "Don't tell me what it is"
[17:42] <d-will> TJ, what command goes before the -o option?
[17:43] <klpkt> genii-around: As in, the password for the network/router?
[17:43] <TJ-> d-will: the complete command would start off "strace -o myprog.log -fe trace=file " and then you'd end it with the name of your program
[17:44] <genii-around> klpkt: Yes, the wireless password it wants when you need to connect to it
[17:44] <genii-around> klpkt: http://pastebin.ca/2206359  is what to put in the file wpa.conf
[17:45] <TJ-> d-will:  A faster way I sometimes use is simply to list the home directory contents by time most recently modified, as soon as the program has stopped ("ls -altr ~")
[17:45] <kodak> i noticed all my indie bundle games ive tried so far have no sound :S
[17:46] <patr|ck> how can i stop rhythmbox from importing the entire ~/Music directory?
[17:46] <Kishi> Could anyone recommend good Linux maintenance program(s) intended for people too dumb to find and fix problems with their own OS?...
[17:46] <genii-around> klpkt: Then you use ctrl-x to exit nano , hit Enter for the filename
[17:46] <genii-around> work again, back in 3-5
[17:47] <dragonslay> TJ-: have you recovered any garbled , corrupted jpeg files/?
[17:47] <killer_> how do i enable syntax highlighting in vi that comes with ubuntu preinstalled
[17:47] <codeMonkey_> So, I'm following a tutorial on encrypting a whole ubuntu drive, and its requesting that I modprobe crypto_xts.  I am unable to find that module anywhere.  Is it nonexistant anymore?
[17:47] <klpkt> genii-around: Okay, I've done that, what now?
[17:49] <d-will> TJ, tried your ls method... returned .xsession-errors
[17:49] <genii-around> klpkt: You put in the correct values for your ESSID and password and not what I had, yes?
[17:49] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes
[17:50] <kodak> anyone with sli experience? cant get sli to work with nvidia-xconfig --sli=on
[17:51] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. Does: grep wlan0 /etc/network/interfaces     produce anything or bring you back to command prompt?
[17:52] <klpkt> genii-around: It doesn't do anything.
[17:53] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. So: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces     and I'll give another pastebin link shortly of what to add there
[17:53] <TJ-> d-will: You have to look at more than just the last entry... I look at the timestamps of the files/directories and match them to when I ran the program. ".xsession-errors" is a standard file generated by the X server. Doubtful it would contain error reports from the game, but it is a text file, so no harm in looking inside it for any hints
[17:53] <thebiglightbulb> klpkt try: sudo grep wlan0
[17:53] <TJ-> dragonslay: For recovering files I generally use "photorec"
[17:54] <TJ-> d-will: many programs will have a sub-directory of ~/.config/ where they write their settings to
[17:55] <dragonslay> TJ-: can photorec use the file which we just obtained using dd?
[17:55] <TJ-> dragonslay: I think you can choose to search through image files, sure. I've actually had 'photorec' running on a bad DVD here for the past 2 days... and its *still*  2 hours from finishing!
[17:56] <klpkt> genii-around: The file already contains two lines of content; what should I do with it?
[17:56] <klpkt> thebiglightbulb: Nothing happens, it just stands there.
[17:56] <genii-around> klpkt: Just add to the content underneath and leave what is already there. http://pastebin.ca/2206369       then as before ctrl-x and Enter to save and exit
[17:56] <dragonslay> TJ-: it showed 4 hours for my 1TB hdd *:o*
[17:57] <TJ-> klpkt: that command that thebiglightbulb gave you was incomplete. Press Ctrl+C to quit it.
[17:57] <d-will> TJ, well that "ls" shortcut gave me a clue... now on to chasing it down. Thanks!
[17:57] <CyanPrime> Quick questions good sirs, How do I change my display screen's name to default on xrandr?
[17:57] <TJ-> dragonslay: Wow, that's good :D
[17:57] <dragonslay> TJ-: i tried to find an option to scan image files, i haven't yet figured out a way to do that..
[17:57] <TJ-> d-will:  Glad to hear it - good luck!
[17:57] <rgenito> is there a unity command to show the unity side bar?
[17:58] <TJ-> dragonslay: I can't interrupt it here, but I can check the man pages
[17:58] <rgenito> i ask because i really prefer mine to be hidden... however, it doesn't always "show"when i move the mouse to the left... kind of annoying >\
[17:58] <bluegenes> hi
[17:58] <TJ-> dragonslay: according to "man photorec" you can indeed give it an image file-name. Try "man photorec" and read :)
[17:58] <klpkt> genii-around: Okay, I've done that.
[17:59] <hezekiah_> I've got an ubuntu preseed question.  is it possible to install from a repo that is unsigned?
[17:59] <bluegenes> does anyone know how to make "connect to a server" open a file manager window upon connection and NOT chromium?
[17:59] <rgenito> anyone know the keyboard shortcut for that?
[17:59] <rgenito> ...besides hidding 'super' and then moving the mouse over there... -_-
[17:59] <dragonslay> TJ-: sorry, TJ- i missed out that line.. ty for reminding that
[17:59] <nearst> hello ppl
[17:59] <genii-around> klpkt: Does result of: ifconfig        show that wlan0 is currently up and active?
[17:59] <TJ-> rgenito: tep the Alt key
[18:00] <CyanPrime> Quick questions good sirs, How do I change my display screen's name to default on xrandr?
[18:00] <thebiglightbulb> jeah i'm no expert TJ klpkt
[18:00] <TJ-> rgenito: 'tap', even!
[18:00] <klpkt> genii-around: It says the command wasn't found.
[18:00] <nearst> whats up
[18:01] <genii-around> klpkt: The computer says that the command called ifconfig   is not found?
[18:01] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes. I have to go, and won't be back very soon. Is there any info I should pass on if you're not here when I come back?
[18:02] <genii-around> klpkt: As we have now, it should connect automatically the next reboot
[18:02] <CyanPrime> Hmm, I didn't have this problem on windows, guess that makes windows the better os
[18:02] <klpkt> genii-around: As in fixing the DNS lookup too?
[18:03] <genii-around> klpkt: wpa_supplicant   will do the authentication, then the computer will get an IP from the router which at the same time, the router should tell it the correct DNS info to use.

[18:06] <bazhang> CyanPrime, stop that
[18:07] <morsnowski> what does it want ?
[18:07] <CyanPrime> bazhang, well being nice didn't work, so I figured I'd act like a retard to at least get someone to notice me so I could aSK THEM FOR HELP.
[18:07] <nearst> CyanPrime, whats up ?
[18:08] <bazhang> CyanPrime, thats not the way it works. so dont
[18:08] <bluegenes> does anyone know how to change the default program for ''connect to a server''?
[18:08] <morsnowski> CyanPrime, it's a great way being put on ignore lists
[18:08] <CyanPrime> nearst: Quick questions good sirs, How do I change my display screen's name to default on xrandr?
[18:08] <jacky007> how to install remstersys using repostries in ubuntu 32 bit ?
[18:08] <BluesKaj> CyanPrime,you'll get noticed by stating your problemn rather than asking for help
[18:08] <bazhang> jacky007, from a PPA? its not in the repos
[18:08] <gorgonzola> CyanPrime channel protocol is, state problem, wait for someone that knows about to chime in.
[18:08] <CyanPrime> BluesKaj, I did that already, twice, and didn't even get a reply
[18:08] <k1l> CyanPrime: maybe it was just your trolling that stops people from helping you (windows better os thiing, nohelp, etc)
[18:08] <Dr0p3D> and also by not shouting to get the help... that was very rude CyanPrime ...
[18:09] <jacky007> bazhang:  help me ! how can i do install remastersys from PPA ?
[18:09] <CyanPrime> Alright, so how about some help and I'll get outta all y'alls hair? Quick questions good sirs, How do I change my display screen's name to default on xrandr?
[18:09] <bazhang> jacky007, find a PPA that has it. you can search the ppa on launchpad
[18:10] <bazhang> !addppa | jacky007
[18:10] <morsnowski> CyanPrime, I don't think you can. as I understand it xandr is a consumer not the the name giving part
[18:10] <nearst> CyanPrime, try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[18:10] <Dr0p3D> CyanPrime, also i should state that "windows" isnt such a great OS and if you move to linux you wont learn everything overnight, and have you actually tried to review Google for your question? maybe a little reading up on documentation and ubuntu forms and you'll find it..
[18:11] <Dr0p3D> ubuntu does have forums... yeps just search your problem in google and you'll notice ubuntu forums in the mix with your problem.
[18:11] <CyanPrime> Dr0p3D, whats a google? Isn't that a number? (If you're going to assume I'm dumb cause I have a linux problem, i'll act dumb for you)
[18:12] <Dr0p3D> CyanPrime, no one assumes another one is dumb but its pretty dang obvious you havnt used your tallent god gave you, and that is search before asking a question.
[18:12] <ikonia> Dr0p3D: he's gone - ignore him,
[18:12] <Dr0p3D> why get so defensive.

[18:14] <gorgonzola> CyanPrime: that solution hardocdes the name of the display in the X server conf.

[18:16] <bluegenes> hello?
[18:16] <retrorex> @nearst 16gb
[18:17] <nearst> retrorex, sure im guess.. dual boot should be ok. maybe worth to try if use with VM.

[18:18] <Cong> How what's wrong with it?
[18:18] <nearst> Cong, why not use vlc as alternative ? :)
[18:18] <classified> which is faster, LXDE or xfce4?
[18:19] <nearst> openbox ?
[18:19] <Cong> I don't like vlc. And changing my media play isn't  fixing the problem is it?
[18:19] <bazhang> classified, openbox and lxde much more so
[18:19] <nearst> maybe smplayer would be ok
[18:19] <classified> LXDE still feels slow and sluggish
[18:20] <bazhang> classified, how much ram
[18:20] <bluegenes> hello?
[18:20] <classified> 256 MB, it's an old machine
[18:20] <Cong> Nearst, no it's not okay. I don't want a new media player. Help me figure out what is wrong with totem.
[18:20] <retrorex> is installing on primary partition same as extended partition? what is the difference
[18:20] <genii-around> classified: Of the two (lxde and xfce) lxde is still usually the faster
[18:20] <nearst> mine on 128mb and work well and smooth on openbox
[18:20] <Sokel> herro?
[18:20] <bazhang> classified, then get more ram. none of the ubuntu variants will run well on that save server
[18:21] <classified> hrm, I'll probably try openbox then
[18:21] <bazhang> classified, openbox and lxde is lubuntu
[18:21] <classified> can openbox be used on its own without lxde?
[18:23] <Calinou> openbox is a WM, not a DE
[18:23] <Calinou> you cannot use a WM without a DE
[18:23] <lnxslck> classified, of course
[18:23] <Calinou> you can use openbox with any other DE
[18:23] <Cong> Totem doesn't crash if the volume is changed when paused. What's wrong with it?
[18:23] <Calinou> xfce isn't really lightweight anymore btw
[18:24] <nearst> Cong, try to install alsa ?
[18:24] <lnxslck> Calinou, xfce is the gnome replacement for debian
[18:24] <Calinou> debian has gnome too
[18:24] <dragonslay> TJ-: ty :) i recovered some photos..
[18:24] <lnxslck> Calinou, yes, but for default instalation i think xfce will be the chosen
[18:25] <Cong> nearst, advanced linux system audio? isn't that installed when the ubuntu is installed?
[18:25] <Calinou> it is
[18:25] <Calinou> lnxslck: yes, xfce is the default de
[18:25] <klpkt> genii-around: I'm back, much earlier than expected! And the DNS lookup still doesn't work...
[18:25] <lnxslck> Calinou, do you agree with that decision?
[18:26] <nearst> cong, or try with alsamixer.
[18:26] <genii-around> klpkt: Does it connect to the router now?
[18:26] <zykotick9> Calinou: "you cannot use a WM without a DE" really?  fluxbox/awesome/etc users everywhere do...
[18:26] <Cong> nearst, I don't know much about sound systems. what should I try with alsamixer?
[18:27] <Calinou> zykotick9: no, probably not, or it would be very minimal
[18:27] <Calinou> lnxslck: why?
[18:27] <classified> brb
[18:27] <klpkt> genii-around: Well, we might have misunderstood each other... In the #ubuntu-uk channel, I managed to connect to the router, but the DNS lookup failed. Then one of them directed me here, because none of them knew what to do.
[18:28] <genii-around> klpkt: eg - the result of: ifconfig wlan0        should have an IP address in the line starting with: inet addr:

[18:41] <nic> How do I launch compiz-config-settings-manager from the terminal? All my menu bars are gone cause I messed with it.
[18:42] <bobweaver> nic,  I think that it is just ccsm or try "whereis compiz-config-settings-manager"

[18:44] <nic> thanks bobweaver. I got it, but it didn't fix my problem. I had disabled all the "edges" options in Grid.
[18:44] <ClientAlive> I know this is maybe not the best chanel for this kind of question, but I need some help and I want to see if there is anyone. has anyone here done systems analyst type work before? I need to find an example gantt chart that's based on the system prototyping methodoloy (specifically). I need to see how/ whether the methodology you choose translates to the timeline structure.
[18:44] <nic> Now I have no menu bars. Does anyone know what to do about this? I was just trying to disable aero snap.
[18:45] <bazhang> ClientAlive, how is that connected to ubuntu support
[18:46] <ClientAlive> bahzang: because if I learn the stuff maybe I can help support in the future. Is there anything wrong with trying?
[18:46] <bazhang> ClientAlive, so no connection?
[18:47] <bazhang> use alis to search for a channel ClientAlive

[18:47] <ClientAlive> bahzang: oh! cool. Thank you.
[18:50] <nic> Anyone know what to do about this? I'm using classic gnome. Used ccsm to try to turn of the aero snap grid so that I can have windows any size I want. Now my GUI is screwed up with no menu bars (not up top nor on my windows - have to use the  killall to close stuff)

[18:52] <lattera> using a dual-monitor setup on an nvidia card, is there a way to have one of the monitors at a 90 degree angle?
[18:53] <genii-around> klpkt: I messed up the syntax for the wpa_supplicant command. You need to change the one in /etc/network/interfaces to match what we just used
[18:53] <genii-around> klpkt: ( with the -iwlan0   and -c/etc/wpa.conf  instead of with spaces after the -c like I had earlier )
[18:53] <klpkt> genii-around: That doesn't matter right now, because it WORKS!
[18:54] <genii-around> klpkt: Good :-)
[18:54] <nic> Can someone tell me what command will log me out without restarting?
[18:54] <cowsquad> I remember that with ubuntu su my teminal user name turned red, but now that fresh installed ubuntu 12.04, it doesnt do that anymore. am I missing something?
[18:54] <nic> Terminal command.
[18:55] <dr_willis> cowsquad:  name turned red where?
[18:55] <zykotick9> nic: "exit"?
[18:56] <cowsquad> dr_willis, on the terminal
[18:56] <dr_willis> lattera:  i think with twinview/nvidia drivers. thats not possible. there may be some work arounds
[18:56] <cboss> Hey guys can i change the location of where ubuntu software centre downloads and installs files?
[18:56] <qwebirc35246> Hello I need help mounting and runing the sims 3 ISO reloaded on Ubuntu
[18:56] <nic> I think that just closes the terminal. I want to log out of my current session.
[18:56] <dr_willis> cowsquad:  where at on the terminal? You mean in the prompt?
[18:56] <dr_willis> like --> willis@SSDBuntu:~$
[18:56] <herent> Has anyone else had problems with the keyboard input stopping until you switch applications and switch back?  It happens most often in Firefox for me, but other apps do it too.  I've tried googling but I'm not really getting any specific results that match it.
[18:56] <cowsquad> dr_willis, like the letters of my user name. Am I wrong? Yes, after typing su and entering my password
[18:57] <dr_willis> cowsquad:  one normally dosent use 'su'  except to switch to specific users.. so im stillnot sure where you mean.
[18:57] <llutz> cowsquad: add this to roots .bashrc   for a red prompt     export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
[18:58] <cowsquad> root@cowsquad-A305-S6872:/home/cowsquad#
[18:58] <cboss> Hey guys can i change the location of where ubuntu software centre downloads and installs files?
[18:58] <dr_willis> the bash prompt howto has some very nice example bash prompts
[18:58] <Ecliptica> dr_willis: He might have just wanted to run a bunch of commands without having to type sudo each time
[18:58] <zykotick9> llutz: shouldn't root's prompt be #?  aren't you manually setting $ at the end?
[18:58] <dr_willis> cboss:  not really. You could change the cache location withs ome links.
[18:58] <qwebirc35246> Can some on 1 on 1 chat with me
[18:58] <dr_willis> Ecliptica:  one should use sudo -i   not su then
[18:59] <llutz> zykotick9: read bash-prompt howto about the \$ in this case
[18:59] <zykotick9> llutz: ok.  my bad.
[18:59] <qwebirc35246> I need help
[18:59] <cboss> dr_willis, thanks for the reply! Thats a shame, what will happen when the hard drive fills up? I wont be able to install any more applications?
[18:59] <bazhang> qwebirc35246, /join #winehq after checking the appdb
[18:59] <qwebirc35246> Hello
[19:00] <aisey> good evening, i have trouble with online stream....my on-line movies arren't properly loaded
[19:00] <bufford> yello
[19:00] <dr_willis> cboss:  if your HD is full.. you got bigger issues i imagine
[19:00] <bazhang> !appdb | qwebirc35246
[19:00] <cowsquad> dr_willis, sorry for confusing you. What i meant is when i access my terminal via [ctl -ALT-t] and su and my password, my user name root@cowsquad-A305-S6872:/home/cowsquad# used to turn red, like red letters. But it doesnt do that any more
[19:00] <dr_willis> cboss:  linux makes it trivial to move stuff like /tmp/ and /var/ and /home/ to other hard drives
[19:00] <llutz> zykotick9: "...  \$     if  the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $ "
[19:00] <computerguy> qwebirc35246: give a nick name to yourself type /nick yourname and hit enter
[19:01] <dr_willis> cowsquad:  bash prompt settings...  never noticed the color.
[19:02] <cboss> dr_willis, I installed ubuntu side by side with windows, and i only chose 10GB of space and i am really enjoying ubuntu, however i running out of space quickly, if i move directories across to my secondary hard drive, will the applications still work?
[19:02] <zykotick9> llutz: thanks.  i figured it was something like that.  sorry for the bother.
[19:02] <llutz> zykotick9: no problem
[19:02] <herent> I guess that's nobody that's had the keyboard problem :(
[19:02] <herent> Really annoying.  It's under 12.04
[19:02] <dr_willis> cboss:  yes. if you do it right.. the power of mount and links :)
[19:02] <aisey> Please help me, i am ubuntu beginner
[19:02] <aisey> good evening, i have trouble with online stream....my on-line movies arren't properly loaded
[19:03] <bazhang> aisey, stream of what
[19:03] <dr_willis> aisey:  what movies from where?
[19:03]  * genii-around considers removing "coffee" from his highlight list
[19:03] <bazhang> aisey, link
[19:03] <aisey> youtube
[19:03] <aisey> ok,wait, i send link
[19:03] <dr_willis> aisey:  just use one of the many youtube downloader/converter apps - is all i normally do these days.. time for flash to die.
[19:03] <bazhang> aisey, is flash installed? or just slow
[19:03] <dr_willis> and set youtube to use html5 ;)
[19:03] <cboss> dr_wills, thank you, will be searching "links ubuntu", or do you recommend any other search terms?
[19:04] <dr_willis> cboss:  you should be learnng some more linux fundamentals.   'ln -s' is how to make a soft link from one location to a differnt location.
[19:04] <dr_willis> !softlink
[19:04] <dr_willis> !link
[19:05] <dr_willis> cboss:  or you can move your /home/ to its own hard drive/partition  since most of the space will be the users stuff
[19:05] <dr_willis> or you could use gparted to shrink the windows partions and enlarge your linux one.
[19:05] <cboss> dr_willis, will that cause any problems with dual booting or will i lose any data?
[19:05] <aisey> dr_willis: http://play.iprima.cz/all/280908 press play
[19:05] <dr_willis> cboss:  not if you do it right
[19:05] <dr_willis> aisey:  thats a youtube link? ;)
[19:06] <aisey> sorry i am czech,my eng is not perfect
[19:06] <cowsquad> thank you llutz, that did the trick. thank you dr_willis
[19:06] <cboss> dr_willis, wont i have to unmount that partition?
[19:07] <aisey> dr_willis:  don't know a commands to install all function to perfect play... moment,i send youtube link
[19:07] <dr_willis> cboss:  you dont resize a in use filesystem.. so yes.
[19:07] <bazhang> aisey, plays fine here, the site is just slow to load
[19:07] <dr_willis> aisey:  that site plays fine here in Flash for me. there is no Guarenteed commands to get flash working.
[19:07] <dr_willis> Which is why i suggested the various flash-plugin-replacers and flash-downloader tools.
[19:08] <dr_willis> I still dont see my name in red with the color prompt. :) but in a green
[19:08] <cboss> dr_willis: /dev/sda3 is mount point /host, would that be the one i am looking to enlarge?
[19:09] <dr_willis> cboss:  /host/ ? You did a WUBI install IN windows?
[19:09] <cboss> dr_willis, will that mean i have to create a live DVD
[19:09] <cboss> dr_willis, yes thats correct
[19:09] <aisey> drt_willis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkUxUTJGCV4&feature=g-all-lik slow played

[19:11] <cboss> dr_willis, would it be possible to uninstall ubuntu (via window) then reinstall and select a more appropriate hard drive size?
[19:12] <phaphandede> Ok, here is my issue, I have a 12.04 setup has server (using zentyal). Server runs good with all services. I am not using dhcp since I have a router for it...When I dig @domain on server, i get good response. However, not on the clients
[19:13] <phaphandede> Clients can ping the IP but not the domain...what could it be?
[19:13] <phaphandede> I cannot join XP's station to PDC because of that issue...
[19:13] <aisey> dr_willis: i use update.. youtube is now ok - http://play.iprima.cz/all/280908 -- my on-line movies arren't properly loaded --
[19:13] <usr13> phaphandede: Sounds like the dhcp server is not supplying a nameserver
[19:13] <phaphandede> anyone has an idea?
[19:14] <usr13> phaphandede: Yes.  dhcp
[19:14] <phaphandede> well it does has the clients have access to the we..using 208.67.220.220 etc...Should I put the zentyal IP has dns in the router (3rd choice) in config?
[19:15] <phaphandede> my clients are connected with dhcp from the router....they have web access easily...
[19:15] <aisey> http://play.iprima.cz/all/280908 -- my on-line movies arren't properly loaded -- plesa help,i"am beginner to ubuntu
[19:16] <phaphandede> it seems to me that netbios names requests dies in the router
[19:16] <bazhang> aisey, thats a site problem, not an ubuntu problem
[19:16] <phaphandede> they are not handled by zentyal....
[19:16] <phaphandede> ok tell me more?
[19:16] <aisey> bazhang: i have 6mb/s
[19:16] <bazhang> aisey, the site loads, it's just slow. not an ubuntu problem
[19:17] <usr13> phaphandede: Restate your problem.
[19:17] <usr13> phaphandede: Tell us what is really wrong.
[19:17] <bazhang> aisey, I have faster than that. it's the site problem, not an ubuntu problem
[19:18] <eutheria> i've configured my openvpn server to supply additional search domains, however ubuntu doesn't seem to pick them up
[19:18] <doug2> any nagios/(specifically NSCA) guru's here?
[19:19] <RyanP> doug2: Guru, no.. experienced, yes..
[19:19] <eutheria> doug2, yeah it is a pain enjoy your suffering
[19:19] <usr13> phaphandede: Only if your zenthal server is running a chaching nameserver.
[19:19] <phaphandede> ok: short: xp and win7 clients (not yet joined to server) connected through dhcp router (adsl connection). Station connect to web 100%. I have setup 12.04 has PDC but clients can't join. the NXDOMAIN is not pingable
[19:20] <doug2> RyanP/eutheria: So... uhm, I've been able to test the client connecting to the nagios server with send_nsca... that works. What I can't seem to work out if the nagios config on the client side...
[19:20] <usr13> phaphandede: What is your native language?
[19:20] <phaphandede> french
[19:20] <Captain_Claw> Hello.  I want to disable Nautilus opening when I connect my iPhone to Ubuntu 12.04.  How do I change this behaviour?
[19:20] <usr13> !french | phaphandede
[19:20] <doug2> RyanP/eutheria: Every document I've found gets to testing with send_nsca and then just stops cold.
[19:21] <phaphandede> well? my english is not good enough? :)
[19:22] <IdleOne> Captain_Claw: you should be able to disable that in nautilus settings. I'm not exactly sure where though I don't have nautilus installed.
[19:22] <usr13> phaphandede: http://doc.zentyal.org/en/
[19:22] <RyanP> doug2: Not sure, sorry. have you tried #nagios?
[19:23] <doug2> RyanP: Yes. It's dead.
[19:23] <eutheria> doug2, i used to have a distributed nagios setup back in 2005, keeping all the config in sync was just a massive pain, i would just ignore the nsca have configure the email to give links to different nagios web ui's
[19:23] <aisey> ubuntu have codec to faster online steam play?
[19:23] <phaphandede> ok, thanks anyway...I have been there already o the docs....but thanks anyway
[19:23] <doug2> RyanP: It's almost like nagios isn't set up on the client... do you do away with it altogether and schedule every service check some other way, maybe with cron!?
[19:23] <usr13> phaphandede: Well, I know that you've told us at least 2 times what your problem is and I do not understand.  I assume no one else does either because no one else has supplied any info for you either.
[19:23] <iTaivan> is Ubuntu HAve SteAM ?
[19:23] <bazhang> aisey, no, it's a site problem, not an ubuntu problem
[19:23] <dr_willis> iTaivan:  Steam for Linux is a work in progress from what reports ive seen.
[19:24] <Benxyzzy> Can I get a list of valid filesystem types for mount?
[19:24] <dr_willis> iTaivan:  the software center has several games if you really want to buy somthing.. theres also a lot of good free games out there.
[19:24] <Captain_Proton> RyanP, sorry I did see your problem. what was it?
[19:24] <plagman> has anyone heard of a massive disk write perf regression on X79 chipset from 3.2 to 3.5?
[19:24] <usr13> phaphandede: If you are not using the router to resolve domain names, you could hard code it in the /etc/resolv.conf file.  But if you have a router to do it for you, I'm not sure why you're not already using it.
[19:24] <iTaivan> :(
[19:25] <aisey> bazhang: thank you very much
[19:25] <RyanP> Captain_Proton: Not me..
[19:25] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy:  it depends on what filesystems the kernel supports.. what are you looking for?
[19:25] <Captain_Proton> RyanP, sorry Doug2
[19:25] <usr13> phaphandede: If you look at the resolv.conf file and see what it says for nameserver, that would give you a clue.
[19:25] <usr13> /etc/resolv.conf
[19:25] <Captain_Proton> doug2, what was your nagios prolem
[19:26] <phaphandede> well that is my point...That is exactly what I don't understand...Why is my router not "let's say" acquiring domain names in my lan? It does for the wan...but not for the lan...
[19:26] <usr13> phaphandede: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html
[19:27] <Benxyzzy> dr_willis: I'm getting a "you must specify the filesystem type" when trying to mount a truecrypt volume. I can't remember exactly what the type is, so I need a list of what the 'right answer' might be. "fat" for example gives "unknown filesystem type 'fat'" for instance.
[19:27] <tester> salut
[19:27] <usr13> phaphandede: The router usually acts as a caching nameserver.  It acquires DNS info from an official nameserver and passes it on to your LAN.
[19:27] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy:  i  would guess you would use ext2 ext3 or ext4 in most cases. but i dont use truecrypt.
[19:27] <aisey> bazhang: Thanks for your guide and quick problem solutions
[19:28] <truexfan81> any idea why ubuntu dropped resolv.conf for resolvconf ?
[19:28] <Benxyzzy> dr_willis: I made the volume from windows many years ago, so it's going to be some kind of NTFS or FAT. It's not ntfs-3g, so that leaves the various types of FAT. Or it's corrupted...
[19:29] <miraj> truexfan81 , to be different
[19:30] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy:  ntfs-3g is the rw version of NTFS.
[19:30] <truexfan81> miraj: you're not killing me with specificity here
[19:30] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy:  and 'vfat' should cover mosta ll the fat variants
[19:30] <usr13> phaphandede: If, for some reason, your router's nameserver is not turned on, you can use an outside nameserver, like 8.8.8.8   In that case, you just see that the nameserver line in the /etc/resolv.conf file says:  nameserver 8.8.8.8
[19:30] <llutz> truexfan81: resolvconf exists since ages and makes handling with namerserver-entries easier.
[19:31] <truexfan81> llutz: right, so why did it go away?
[19:31] <miraj> truexfan81 , there is no reason, no advantage. it was just to be different from the rest
[19:31] <llutz> truexfan81: its not gone
[19:31] <k4r1m> can someone recommend a solution for viewing IE7+ websites? I tried switching agents but a lot of content isn't visible >.<
[19:32] <ejo> websited designed for IE only deserve to be quietly ignored xD
[19:32] <k4r1m> ejo, I know but it's for work :(
[19:33] <shihan> you could always use the winetricks thihhngo
[19:33] <shihan> ejo that is
[19:33] <phaphandede> Ok, i understand that...My question is this one: Please keep in mind that my router handles the DNS for dhcp. I have 2 DNS server assigned in the router config. wan access is working good. But when i try to ping a "DOMAIN" from a XP or WIN seven, it is not working. When I say ping, i mean ping inside my own LAN...not on the web. Pings on the web are ok.
[19:33] <k4r1m> shihan, winetricks for IE?
[19:34] <phaphandede> it does not recognise my local domain names...but it does recognise IP's
[19:34] <aisey> Thank you very much for your fast respond ,good night.
[19:34] <shihan> k4r1m, yeah, im pretty sure it can intsall just about any version of ie iirc
[19:34] <k4r1m> shihan, let me check brb
[19:34] <ejo> forgive my joking around
[19:35] <shihan> sorry, i mean k4r1m, not ejo... my brain is not working apparently
[19:35] <phaphandede> if, from a workstation; I ping 192.168.2.8, I get response. If i ping goolge.com, i get response. If I ping zentyal.xxx.lan, iget nothing...
[19:35] <k4r1m> shihan, cool thanks
[19:36] <phaphandede> however, if i ping or dig @ my domain name from the server, i get response...
[19:36] <phaphandede> only my workstations are not finding "DOMAIN NAME" from my lan....
[19:36] <phaphandede> is that a WINS problem or a DNS problem?
[19:37] <dr_willis> ejo:  actually they need to be actively boycotted and  compnained against
[19:37] <miraj> phaphandede , are your lan-side ip addresses assigned by dhcp?
[19:37] <dr_willis> bbl
[19:37] <shihan> phaphandede, your router is diong dns for you? what type of router/dns?
[19:37] <eutheria> i am trying to understand why not all dns traffic goes over my vpn to my remote dns servers
[19:37] <phaphandede> yes they are...from the router
[19:37]  * ejo agrees
[19:37] <jiffe98> what PAM service is touched with `id` ?
[19:37] <phaphandede> i have a dd-wrt linksys
[19:38] <dhanasekaran> Hi Guys, set ulimit for unlimited for all the user How to do it? please guide me\
[19:38] <shihan> phaphandede, is it doing dns for your lan domain?
[19:38] <phaphandede> my router assign ip adresses to my lan pc's
[19:38] <phaphandede> well that is the point that I think I am missing
[19:38] <phaphandede> How would I figure that out?
[19:39] <shihan> when you say domain, do you mean like old style nt domain or active directory?
[19:39] <techkid6> i cant figure out how to use gedit in console, help please
[19:39] <phaphandede> I pointed the WINS server in my router to my server IP on the LAN...
[19:39] <Benxyzzy> dr_willis: thanks for your help, it's pretty clear the volume is corrupted then.
[19:39] <xangua> techkid6: gedit is a graphical app
[19:39] <bazhang> techkid6, gedit is gui
[19:39] <econdudeawesome> howdy all. I'm running Matlab (student version--32bit) on ubuntu 12.04 x64. It requires me to install ia32-libs -- will this cause issues down the road?
[19:39] <techkid6> oh
[19:39] <miraj> phaphandede , is your linksys router able to act as an authoritative (not just caching) dns server?
[19:39] <bazhang> techkid6, try nano
[19:39] <phaphandede> well: zentyal-pompage.lan
[19:39] <techkid6> k
[19:40] <shihan> econdudeawesome, shouldnt, its the basic library package for all 32bit libs
[19:40] <econdudeawesome> shihan: so it just adds a bunch of things, but shouldn't have conflicts?
[19:40] <phaphandede> how would I know that? I know it is authoritative DHCP...
[19:40] <shihan> econdudeawesome, correct, they'll all go into places specifically labelled for 32bit stuff
[19:40] <Dekkard> can anyone help with the dreaded laptop black screen (no illumination) problem with precise..?
[19:40] <phaphandede> but i don't know for DNS
[19:40] <econdudeawesome> shihan: fantastic. Thanks!
[19:41] <techkid6> Thanks, got it ;)
[19:42] <shihan> phaphandede, afaik, dd-wrt doesnt have anything other then dnsmasq, so i dont think it can be authorative.... but if you have an AD server (if thats how your doing your windows domain) then it should also be a dns server... though it also sounds like your using zentyal as well
[19:42] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset| Dekkard you mean this?
[19:43] <miraj> phaphandede , if you don't know ... chances are pretty good that at best your Linksys is only caching DNS from your external upstream DNS servers. It would need to be a much more capable device to be a Master DNS (authoritative) server
[19:43] <phaphandede> ok...can I use my Zentyal for that? I guess I should transfer the DHCP service to the Zentyal server right?
[19:44] <miraj> phaphandede , you probably can
[19:44] <phaphandede> wow...ok...It would have nerver work then...
[19:45] <miraj> phaphandede , do you have many machines lanside?
[19:45] <chrisc1> hey guys. Running a few boxes using various releases of Ubuntu Server. On the other side of the building (IT office), I've wall-mounted a monitor (with corresponding system underneath) on which I'd like to display a rotation of specific consoles on the servers that are tailing certain logs.. Does anyone know of a program/method to do this?
[19:45] <phaphandede> tell me...I am not a guru in network...If i setup my dhcp server in Zentyal (that I know how) what config should I apply in the router?
[19:46] <miraj> phaphandede , if you only have a few machines on your lan, it might be easier to use static ip addresses
[19:46] <phaphandede> well I have more that 30
[19:46] <shihan> chrisc1, if i understand what your trying to do, what i'd do is add a line in each server that points the syslog output to a central machine, plug that to the monitor and push out all syslog info to the monitor
[19:46] <phaphandede> plus cell phones and printers etc
[19:46] <Dr_willis> chrisc1,  sounds like you may need to  use screen/tmux and some how script/automate it to rotate btween machines. one machine in each screen 'window'
[19:47] <Dr_willis> chrisc1,  you may want to check into what shihan  is saying and into the colortail/log colorizer tools also.
[19:47] <miraj> phaphandede , I have seen one BIND configuration to be used on the same machine as the DHCP  server, but I don't have the link at-hand
[19:47] <phaphandede> in my router: I guess I would have to use a Gateway pointing to my dhcp server right?
[19:47] <chrisc1> those are both fantastic ideas. I'm currently using multitail on each of the servers to print specific, high-priority lines in red.
[19:48] <phaphandede> ok...no problem. I can figure that out....
[19:48] <chrisc1> did not think of dumping the sys logs to a single machine. that's genius.
[19:48] <phaphandede> You answered me what I thought my problem was...
[19:48] <phaphandede> I wish it would end differently but....life is life...
[19:49] <miraj> phaphandede , you could also have your DNS/dhcp server do the NAT routing
[19:50] <MittRomney> I am trying to make a partition with gparted, but it won't let me resize
[19:50] <phaphandede> ya..that i know...I wanted to avoid that....not to LOAD the server....
[19:51] <Captain_Proton> chrisc1, terminator, byobu That what i use on my server then scrip to run log like tail -f /var/log/syslog or whaterver
[19:51] <Benxyzzy> Thanks again, dr_willis
[19:53] <shihan> chrisc1, i actually do something similar but i have one machine that has syslog pushing do a mysql database, all the machines push syslog to that machine and i watch logs ocasionally with a php syslog viewer
[19:54] <dhanasekaran> user process limited change to unlimited , How to change please guide me
[19:54] <dhanasekaran> please guide me
[19:54] <chrisc1> sorry for the delay, I'm not familiar with terminator or byobu, so I was reading up on them. so it does appear that there are multiple ways to go about this.
[19:54] <eutheria> urg, stupid lack of multiple dns search in openvpn nm
[19:54] <chrisc1> my only concern is that one of the servers is much, much more active in printing to the logfile than the others
[19:54] <Dr_willis> http://posidev.com/blog/2009/06/04/set-ulimit-parameters-on-ubuntu/      this dhanasekaran ?
[19:55] <jrib> chrisc1: is there an actual goal or is it just sort of to look pretty?
[19:55] <chrisc1> most of our IT department works in the vicinity of the screen, so the goal is that if something prints in red, it will catch someone's attention.
[19:55] <eutheria> the new dns system only seems to look up dns entries against vpn dns servers for the default openvpn domain name
[19:56] <Dr_willis> eyecandy and warnings that will get ignored after a day. ;)
[19:56] <dijonyummy> is there an easy way to see the amount of data i download over the network interface for different periods of time?
[19:56] <dhanasekaran> Dr_willis, Thanks i try
[19:56] <jrib> chrisc1: you should make it play a rick astley song instead of print in red; that should work :)
[19:56] <chrisc1> the business is an online retailer and the main server prints changes to our mysql db.. whenever quantities are changed, orders are received, etc.
[19:56] <shihan> ahhh, we have a monitor that just runs xymon full time for the "look at me, im red" stuff :)
[19:56] <chrisc1> *prints to the logfile, changes to our
[19:57] <chrisc1> haha well, the intent is that it will help us to identify issues as they occur.
[19:57] <chrisc1> whether or not they're actively participating in it can't really be helped by a sys admin :-p I leave that up to management and HR
[19:59] <beeblebrox3> hi!
[20:01] <miraj> chrisc1 , you can have electric shock collar for the sysops :)
[20:02] <subcool> can a person install win8 to usb via linux? all my results come up with vm, or some .exe
[20:03] <jrib> subcool: ask ##windows how to install win8 via usb
[20:03] <subcool> jrib, yea- but they dont support ubuntu
[20:03] <jrib> subcool: so you know how to install win8 via usb?
[20:03] <miraj> subcool , you could have linux copy one already installed win8 to another identical drive
[20:04] <subcool> jrib, all the instructions go with some windows exe software
[20:04] <subcool> miraj, uh- thats what im working on now- an installation.
[20:05] <rjune> What channel would be most helpful in tracking down issues with preseed files?
[20:05] <chrisc1> I like the shock collar idea guys. ;) Thanks for the assistance. Have a great weekend!
[20:05] <shihan> subcool, if your talking about creating the usb installer from ubuntu, that can be quite tricky
[20:05] <TJ-> subcool: Are you trying to kill it already? :p
[20:05] <subcool> TJ- lol - just setting up a working WIn8 - imma VM it.
[20:05] <IdleOne> rjune: #ubuntu-server may be helpful
[20:05] <subcool> TJ-, thanks again for all the help- im stilla smidge confused.. but im do ok..
[20:05] <subcool> shihan, tricky? -
[20:06] <rjune> IdleOne, thanks
[20:06] <Dr_willis> i thought with windows you can now dd the iso straiguth to flash..
[20:06] <TJ-> subcool: haha you're welcome... Windows in a VM; best place for it
[20:06] <shihan> subcool, you'd be better of installing a windows vm, then create the usb from within it cause setting up the usb flash drive is tough from within linux
[20:06] <subcool> thats what i thought thoo-
[20:06] <subcool> keep hearing that :/
[20:06] <shihan> Dr_willis, you know, your probably right actually
[20:07] <subcool> well, im still downloading a trial of vmware - so ill try virtual box.. :/
[20:07] <subcool> shihan, i keep hearing that-- guess so..
[20:07] <subcool> TJ-, i was going to ask u something -- hhmm...
[20:08] <jrib> subcool: have you tried just dd'ing the iso you have of win8 to your usb stick device...?
[20:08] <TJ-> subcool: You can write the Win8 ISO directly to a USB device, too
[20:08] <subcool> jrib, no- and i dont think thatll work.
[20:08] <jrib> subcool: why...?
[20:08] <shihan> subcool, actually have a look at unetbootin, it apparently supports creating windows usb's as well...
[20:08] <subcool> - ok.. guess they changed something about thier isos ' -ok how would that owrk?
[20:08] <subcool> just unzip and dd?
[20:09] <jrib> subcool: here's a question about win7: http://superuser.com/questions/223560/how-to-create-a-windows-7-installation-usb-from-linux-or-mac
[20:09] <subcool> shihan, i have, i tried it last night- it freaked out and crashed
[20:09] <subcool> jrib, i dont have a win7 iso
[20:09] <jrib> subcool: I know.
[20:09] <TJ-> subcool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso
[20:09] <Aristide> Hi ! Its possible to display dialogs box from UI file in a shell script ?
[20:09] <juniour> hi
[20:09] <juniour> guys
[20:09] <Aristide> And use dbus for get/set properties
[20:09] <subcool> TJ-, are there instrctions? cause i already got it
[20:10] <juniour> hi
[20:10] <jrib> Aristide: I don't know what you mean by "dialogs box from UI file"
[20:10] <Martijn-NL2> Freaky friday on ubuntu channel, hi everyone :D
[20:10] <shihan> Aristide, yes you can display question/response type dialogs from a shell script... not sure about the dbus though
[20:10] <TJ-> subcool "On a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, a third-party program is required to convert an ISO file into installable media—"
[20:10] <juniour> how to uninstall ubuntu 11.04
[20:10] <jrib> subcool: you should read the suggestions for win7 and then try to apply the same to your current situation imho
[20:10] <juniour> i have install along side windows 7
[20:10] <klpkt> genii-around Hey! You're still here? That's great, because apparently my web access didn't work after all...
[20:10] <Aristide> jrib, A dialog box make with qtdesigner
[20:10] <Aristide> shihan, I have see « kommander » but I have a error :/
[20:10] <juniour> now i am getting boot loadrer of ubuntu
[20:10] <juniour> k
[20:10] <subcool> jrib, advice taken-
[20:11] <k1l> juniour: its only supported untill end of october
[20:11] <miraj> subcool, you don't have any dvd-rw discs to use temporarily?
[20:11] <juniour> k1l i wan to uninstall
[20:11] <juniour> k
[20:11] <subcool> miraj, i dont buy those anymore- i have a few left, but prefre to kep them for emergencies
[20:11] <shihan> Aristide, you might want to look at either kdialog or zenity iirc
[20:12] <juniour> how to uninstall ubuntu without affecting win7
[20:12] <k1l> juniour: ahh, sry. bootup a live cd, remove the partitions (or delete the partitions from a windows utility. then put in a windows cd and restore the windows bootloader
[20:12] <Aristide> shihan, kdialog / zenity / dialog are too « basic » :/
[20:12] <jrib> juniour: did you install using wubi or did you give ubuntu its own partition?
[20:13] <subcool>  nice link jrib
[20:13] <shihan> Aristide, ahh, well, its kinda hard (from shell) to do much more then what zenity does... you might consider either python or perl + wxgui (and things like them)
[20:13] <juniour> wown partation
[20:13] <gordonjcp> Aristide: What exactly are you trying to do?
[20:13] <juniour> i installed in another partation
[20:13] <jrib> juniour: k, then follow k1l's advice
[20:13] <subcool> brb
[20:13] <juniour> i have to boot with live cd of win orubuntu
[20:14] <Aristide> gordonjcp, I want to create a dialog box with many buttons and checkbox from shell ...
[20:14] <juniour> which one
[20:14] <juniour> kl1
[20:14] <juniour> kl1 which one live cd win7 or ubuntu
[20:14] <pranavk> s/quit /q
[20:14] <gordonjcp> Aristide: you can't, in short
[20:14] <Aristide> gordonjcp, I can
[20:14] <gordonjcp> Aristide: maybe something like glade and python will let you do it
[20:14] <Aristide> gordonjcp, with kommander
[20:14] <k1l> juniour: either linux live cd, or you take a windows utility to delete the ubuntu partitions
[20:14] <jrib> gordonjcp: can't you?  With zenity for example?
[20:15] <subcool> whats the command again to check ur disks?
[20:15] <gordonjcp> jrib: apparently zenity is too simple
[20:15] <MonkeyDust> subcool  fsck
[20:15] <jrib> gordonjcp: ah
[20:15] <Aristide> But kommander display on error when I try to load ui dialog box
[20:15] <juniour> kl1 can you explain in brief i am doing for the first time
[20:15] <juniour> kl1 plz
[20:15] <juniour> kl1 :)
[20:15] <TJ-> Aristide: See the "dialog" package
[20:15] <subcool> MonkeyDust, not what iw as talking about
[20:15] <subcool> TJ-, i remember now..
[20:16] <subcool> I was running df, and saw that the mounts for my drives were dev .
[20:16] <k1l> juniour: you just need to remove the partitions. you could even let them on your pc, they wont harm you.
[20:16] <TJ-> subcool: /dev/mapper/ mostly
[20:16] <BluesKaj> subcool, sudo fdisk -l
[20:17] <k1l> juniour: so boot a live-ubuntu-cd or stick, and use gparted to delete them (but pay attention to not delete the windows one).
[20:17] <subcool> TJ-, yea-...
[20:17] <k1l> juniour: then you put your windows cd in and restore the windows bootloader (the actually command needs to be asked in the windows support. i dont recon it)
[20:18] <TJ-> subcool: LVM makes use of device-mapper (dmsetup) to create the device nodes for its volumes, and device-mapper puts the primary symlinks to the /dev/dm-??  devices in /dev/mapper/
[20:18] <klpkt> genii-around: Are you still here?
[20:18] <subcool> TJ-, so- thats pretty confusing, because when i also go into gparted.. the partitions arent labeld
[20:19] <subcool> TJ-, so its like old school and having to only refer to the disk from /dev/sda format- but now its just /dev/mapper
[20:19] <shihan> you *can* refer to almost any storage under /dev/disk/....
[20:19] <Jordan_U> juniour: If you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB I can walk you through re-installing an MS style MBR.
[20:19] <subcool> im trying to see what /sdx's i have and their size.. what command.. i dont like that fdisk
[20:20] <subcool> i need to figure out which one is my usb
[20:20] <Dr_willis> subcool,  sudo fdisk -l    will show you.
[20:20] <TJ-> subcool: No, you can refer to the disks also by their LABEL or the UUID - look in /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid}/ and you'll see links to the devices there too, as with other devices. ("ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/")
[20:20] <Dr_willis> I always give my disks/filesystems proper labels. :) even if its just "USB4Gb"
[20:20] <shihan> if you look at ls -al /dev/disk/by-path you can see which devices are hookup via usb
[20:21] <joel135> subcool, 'df -h'
[20:21] <subcool> thanks joe
[20:21] <subcool> no- didnt do it..
[20:21] <subcool> oh wait- ya.. that did it
[20:21] <subcool> thanks
[20:21] <Martijn-NL2> Is ubuntu 12.04 faster then Windows 7??
[20:22] <subcool> Dr_willis, yea, thas what i need to re-setup
[20:22] <subcool> Martijn-NL2, thats a matter of opinion..
[20:22] <Jordan_U> Martijn-NL2: It depends on what you're testing the speed of, and on what hardware.
[20:22] <Martijn-NL2> Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz + 2GB ram
[20:23] <TJ-> subcool: " grep '\[sd[[:alpha:]]' /var/log/kern.log "
[20:23] <Jordan_U> Martijn-NL2: An important question is how well supported your graphics card is, and again what you're doing with the machine.
[20:23] <subcool> TJ-, ur kidding
[20:24] <TJ-> subcool: Everything is in the logs :p
[20:25] <subcool> does this have to be root? dd if=Windows8-ReleasePreview-64bit-English.iso of=/dev/sdb1
[20:26] <Martijn-NL2> @Jordan_U Watching DVD's, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, MSN, Word, Powerpoint etc.
[20:26] <TJ-> subcool: to access a device, yes
[20:26] <subcool> thanks
[20:26] <klpkt> Can anyone help me? I can't access the internet. I've tried fixing it several times, including one a few hours ago right here. Right now, I think the network in general doesn't work.
[20:26] <subcool> just making sure i dont f' it up
[20:26] <Martijn-NL2> @Jordan Music :)
[20:26] <TJ-> subcool: I'm watching you like a hawk ;)
[20:27] <subcool> TJ-,  i need that kinda help- lol
[20:28] <TJ-> subcool: Well I'm protecting my interests - don't want another overnighter too soon :)
[20:28] <subcool> so- while im doing that- TJ- how do i label this thing up properly so i can see things like df and understand what they are doing
[20:28] <subcool> like gparted is screweed
[20:28] <TJ-> subcool: Label up what precisely? We labelled all the LVs and file-systems when we configured it
[20:29] <subcool> im viewing the filesystem in gparted- and its all screwy to me..
[20:29] <subcool> i see the sda#, but i dont know where it goes..
[20:30] <subcool> i see boot,  and /media/crazy #
[20:30] <TJ-> subcool: *don't* use gparted. It doesn't understand LVM!
[20:30] <subcool> oh
[20:30] <subcool> sob
[20:30] <wN> i heard the new gparted works with lvm
[20:30] <subcool> ok- then.. what can i use..
[20:31] <TJ-> subcool: For a GUI, "sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm"
[20:32] <JustBelieving> Okay I'm back for sure. How would I update IcedTea on ubuntu 12.04
[20:32] <TJ-> subcool: To start s-c-l ... in the dash jsut type "lvm"
[20:32] <e66> How can I share my eth1 internet to wlan0 ?

[20:32] <wN> !ubottu
[20:34] <subcool> TJ-, i have no idea what ur talking about
[20:34] <k4r1m> where can I get a copy of firefox 3.x portable for ubuntu?
[20:34] <maicod> hi unlike windows where you can access all installed programs from the start menu , in ubuntu 12.04 I can only acces files by using search after clicking DASH icon. can I change this behaviour so it looks like the windows start menu ?
[20:35] <wN> thats a feature of unity
[20:35] <TJ-> subcool: The 'dash'board is the application launcher in Ubuntu. Oh, did you install Xubuntu? In which case I think Logical Volume Management will be on the System Tools menu
[20:35] <Dr_willis> k4r1m,  The firefox binary/archives from the firefox homepage can just be extacted and ff ran from the extracted directory
[20:35] <maicod> wN: oh :)
[20:35] <maicod> wN: what is unity ?
[20:36] <Dr_willis> maicod,  there are 'classic' type gnome menus for Unity  and classic-menu type indicator applets
[20:36] <dada_> hello
[20:36] <genii-around> klpkt: Yes, although work is extremely busy
[20:36] <dada_> I just connected to a smb server in the UI, can someone tell me how I can reach the directory in terminal?
[20:36] <maicod> Dr_willis: another realase that has not the 5 year suppot ?
[20:36] <xibalba> anyone here have dells with idrac7?
[20:36] <maicod> support
[20:36] <xibalba> wondering if t here is a cap/limit on doing a remote virtual cd
[20:36] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[20:36] <xibalba> im only getting 5mbit/sec
[20:36] <Dr_willis> !unity | maicod
[20:36] <Estragon> hi
[20:36] <klpkt> genii-around: Are you too busy to help me with the internet again?
[20:36] <jrib> dada_: ~/.gvfs/ maybe
[20:37] <Dr_willis> !manual > maicod
[20:37] <Estragon> my ubuntu server just went online during 15 minutes and I have no idea why
[20:37] <maicod> ubottu: thanks
[20:37] <dada_> jrib: that's it, thank you!
[20:37] <Dr_willis> maicod,  several neat indicator applets for Unity here. including  a few that are app menus.   http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[20:37] <genii-around> klpkt: I can help, but there will be sometimes long lag between my replies.
[20:37] <maicod> ehm thanks Dr_willis: I mean
[20:37] <Estragon> what log can provide info for system shutdown ?
[20:37] <xibalba> anyone here have dells with idrac7? wondering if t here is a cap/limit on doing a remote virtual cd, only getting 5mbit/sec to the box with my remote CD.
[20:38] <maicod> OK will look into it all
[20:38] <jiraia_> hi anyone deploy server pxe
[20:38] <klpkt> genii-around: Okay, now the problem is that I, when I turn on my computer, it takes a while, trying to get network data or something, and then starts without it. Thus, it doesn't even try to connect to the internet...
[20:39] <jiraia_> for machine without disk?
[20:39] <shihan> xibalba, are you coming in from the web gui doover?
[20:39] <spupuser> hi there, can someone help me with a problem with grub please? im trying to install ubuntu to a spare partition to play around with but i cant seem to get the menu.lst entry right. gimmie 2 secs and ill get my current menu.lst on pastebin
[20:40] <TJ-> xibalba: which iDRAC flavour are you using?
[20:40] <xibalba> shihan, yes through the web gui & remote console i'm mounting an ISO for install
[20:40] <Dr_willis> spupuser,  whqat ubuntu are you using? menu.lst is for the old grub1  not grub2
[20:40] <xibalba> doesn't seem to go past 5mbit/sec, using idrac7 enterprise
[20:40] <spupuser> http://pastebin.com/P6Z9ew2S
[20:40] <spupuser> yeah im using brub 1
[20:40] <spupuser> grub*
[20:41] <TJ-> xibalba: how are you connected to it? the 1Gbps NIC?
[20:41] <shihan> xibalba, yeah, i find the same actually... i think its just the general slowness of trying to push that data thru the little web application it uses
[20:41] <Dr_willis> spupuser,  we have to wonder.. why?
[20:41] <xibalba> shihan, yeah i thoguht it might not have the cycles to go any faster. i have a 1gbit/sec connection between data centers to this box
[20:41] <spupuser> its actually backtrack 5 that im having the issue with but i hear its based on an older ubuntu so i figured it was grub 1
[20:41] <xibalba> TJ-, remote data center, but 1gbit/sec between data centers
[20:41] <spupuser> hold on ill copy over my message from another channel explaining my issue
[20:41] <XiaolinDraconis> this mornings update is causing chrome extensions to crash
[20:42] <XiaolinDraconis> constantly
[20:42] <Dr_willis> spupuser,  i suggest using grub2. and well.. backtrack has its own support channels.
[20:42] <dada_> I would like to tar an entire directory (and its files, subdirectories) and save it in a specific location. can I do this in the terminal using the tar command?
[20:42] <spupuser> oh... well... thanks anyways then
[20:42] <dada_> (or some other way in the terminal? doesn't have to be a tar specifically)
[20:42] <_Marcus> I want to enable my second monitor, but when I do it says this: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3200, 900), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)
[20:42] <_Marcus> The monitors are both the same brand.
[20:42] <xibalba> dada_, tar -cvf /tmp/yourarchive.tar /some/folder
[20:42] <dada_> xibalba: thanks!
[20:42] <xibalba> dada_, no go forth and read the tar man page
[20:43] <xibalba> now*
[20:43] <TJ-> xibalba: check the Dell performance tables see if your results match their timing claims
[20:43] <TJ-> xibalba: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2012/05/07/enhanced-server-performance-with-the-integrated-dell-remote-access-controller.aspx
[20:43] <xibalba> dada_, add -z for compression
[20:43] <xibalba> thanks for the link TJ-
[20:44] <dada_> xibalba: that's useful, since it's a few GBs
[20:44] <dada_> hm, more like 20
[20:44] <xibalba> TJ-, i'm expericing about 20 minutes on a esxi installer which is ~300MB
[20:44] <xibalba> i think they're 30 min claim for win2k8 is a little exagerated
[20:45] <TJ-> _Marcus: It's telling you that it can't create a 'virtual' screen that is 3200x900. That is controlled by the video adapter. For some video drivers you can change that by putting custom settings in the X server's xorg.conf
[20:45] <_Marcus> TJ-: I think I figured it out. I am using the AMD Catalyst Control Center to set it up right now.
[20:46] <TJ-> _Marcus: ahhh, ok... you have the proprietary drivers
[20:46] <TJ-> xibalba: It seems like speed is/has been an issue though, else they wouldn't be calling out those figures
[20:47] <lenochka> when i try to restart xinetd, it gives me uknown instance.. i installed xinetd telnetd
[20:47] <XiaolinDraconis> i need to un-update chrome
[20:48] <deadmund> lenochka: when you enter 'service uinetd restart' the term 'uknown instance' is referring to the 'restart' in that command.
[20:48] <deadmund> lenochka: I believe.
[20:49] <lenochka> hmm
[20:49] <lenochka> deadmund: do you mean there is no such action as restart
[20:49] <lenochka> I tried stop
[20:49] <lenochka> gives me same for stop
[20:49] <deadmund> lenochka: apparently there is no suc action as stop
[20:49] <lenochka> hmm
[20:49] <lenochka> interesting
[20:50] <vanessa> yap
[20:50] <deadmund> lenochka: Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly.  It might be referring to the 'inetd' part.  I am pretty sure it's the 'stop'
[20:50] <lenochka> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[20:50] <lenochka> Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop xinetd
[20:50] <shihan> lenochka, when you go "service uinetd" whats it say?
[20:50] <vanessa> hya budy  anyone can help me to find some chanels from uk?
[20:50] <deadmund> might just be uinet
[20:50] <vanessa> thank u
[20:51] <lenochka> it gives me usage suggestion
[20:51] <lenochka> Usage: /etc/init.d/xinetd COMMAND
[20:51] <klpkt> genii-around: Just wondering, what is your job?
[20:52] <lenochka> deadmund: so i guess i should enter some command which would be something like restart
[20:52] <deadmund> lenochka: worht a shot!
[20:52] <deadmund> lenochka: using service is the correct syntax.  Despite the system's recommendation
[20:53] <shihan> wait, xinetd or uinetd?
[20:53] <genii-around> klpkt: Superintendent of an office building.
[20:53] <Aristide> So i have a other question
[20:53] <Aristide> I want to install Trinity, but many errors was displayed
[20:53] <Aristide> http://privatepaste.com/a28ac75fab
[20:54] <genii-around> klpkt: At any rate: Did you make the changes required to the /etc/network/interfaces file as i earlier asked?
[20:55] <shihan> aristide: you might need to enable a few repos from software center... but first "apt-get update" then try instlal trinity
[20:55] <klpkt> genii-around: Yes.
[20:55] <lenochka> deadmund: well, I gave it a shot. no lucj
[20:55] <Aristide> I try again shihan
[20:55] <deadmund> lenochka: mmm, does start do anything??
[20:56] <genii-around> klpkt: Can you please report the result of: grep wpa /etc/network/interfaces    ( should be 2 lines)
[20:56] <lenochka> deadmund: yeah, very weird message
[20:56] <tarwich> I FINALLY found out how to keep my ttys from falling asleep in precise! I thought I was going to have to sacrifice my neighbor's child. This post was very helpful http://tinyurl.com/9mobk2d
[20:56] <lenochka> start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.16" (uid=1000 pid=30005 comm="start xinetd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
[20:57] <Aristide> Same error shihan http://privatepaste.com/17b3894c58 :/
[20:57] <Aristide> But repo was enable in source list
[20:57] <klpkt> genii-around: post-up wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa.conf [\n] post-down killall wpa_supplicant
[20:58] <shihan> Aristide, which repos have u got enabled?
[20:58] <Aristide> shihan, Yes
[20:58] <glauco291> when I give: sudo apt-get install wine I get: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/gnome-exe-thumbnailer_0.9-0ubuntu1_all.deb  Size mismatch
[20:58] <glauco291> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[20:58] <deadmund> lenochka: I have no clue
[20:58] <genii-around> klpkt: The changes were not made. Change: post-up wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa.conf   into: post-up wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa.conf
[20:58] <glauco291> how Can I fix it and install wine successfully?
[20:58] <shihan> Aristide, you might need to enable universe/restricted/multiverse (perhaps)
[20:59] <Aristide> shihan, Trinity has not precise repository
[20:59] <Aristide> i use oneiric, What is a more recent version ?
[20:59] <klpkt> genii-around: And now it will work?
[20:59] <Uh> Yo, does anyone know how to remove all authentication passwords from ubuntu 12.04 x64?
[20:59] <TJ-> lenochka: You *have* to use 'sudo' to control system services; you can't do it as a regular user. That's what that error message tells you. "sudo service xinetd start"
[21:00] <Aristide> Here shihan http://trinity.blackmag.net/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu/dists/
[21:00] <dereck> Hi all, I just set up password-less ssh via instuctions here: http://bit.ly/5OSXoo I am wondering if I can somehow add the private key to the gnome-keyring so that it is only available while I'm logged in? Any sugestions?
[21:00] <BEC> quick question: i have 12.04; if i want to go back to 10.04.4, all I have to do is format & install over my /boot & / ? (have /home too)
[21:01] <genii-around> klpkt: Ideally, yes.
[21:01] <Uh> Yo, does anyone know how to remove all authentication passwords from ubuntu 12.04 x64?
[21:01] <BEC> genii-around, does it cause any issueS?
[21:02] <genii-around> BEC: ?
[21:02] <Uh> No one knows the answer?
[21:02] <shihan> Aristide, it just looks like its missing repository info, but its hard to tell really
[21:02] <shihan> uh: well, dependson what you mean
[21:02] <Uh> All of them.
[21:02] <shihan> uh: lol, i mean user account passwords or passwords stored in your keyring to login to other machines
[21:02] <Uh> It asks me to authenticate when I try to uninstall/install or when i boot up, the key ring
[21:02] <genii-around> klpkt: If that change is made to /etc/network/interfaces   then next boot it should be able to connect.
[21:03] <lenochka> TJ-: OK, thx, I guess I forgot about it.....
[21:04] <TJ-> Uh: You can configure the GUI to do autologin, if a user is in the nopasswdlogin group. You can configure sudoers to not require a password when you use 'sudo', too
[21:04] <shihan> uh: well, theres a couple of options. you can turn on auto-login from the user acount setup so it logs you in directly when the machine boots up... you can also remove the password prompt for install/uninstall thingos... then theres "passwd -d" on the command line to actually remove the password from the account - personally i wouldnt recommend any of those
[21:04] <Uh> well I put no password in, with autologin, then it asked for a password that didn't exist
[21:04] <klpkt> genii-around: I did those, and then rebooted, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
[21:05] <Uh> tell me what you do recommend then
[21:05] <shihan> uh: i live with the password prompts :)
[21:05] <Uh> well my password is entirely too long now
[21:05] <SubjectOne> how do i make a systemlink ?
[21:05] <Uh> before it was simply a spacebar
[21:05] <Uh> now it's 123456
[21:05] <Uh> i can't handle that.
[21:05] <joshmc> Uh: what kind of computer do you have? a laptop?
[21:06] <Uh> asus laptop
[21:06] <shihan> i really didnt need to know that...
[21:06] <joshmc> Uh: Cool. Can I have it?
[21:06] <SubjectOne> i want my directory /dump linking to /mount/c12314drds3158ed365dead13xd/
[21:06] <joshmc> Uh: :)
[21:06] <glauco291> I get an error to install Wine
[21:06] <Uh> I'm just saying, it's obnoxious.
[21:06] <Uh> So how do I remove it?
[21:06] <{alexander> cineva din romania bacau>
[21:06] <{alexander> >?
[21:07] <shihan> uh: ok, set it to login automagically, then you probably want to read and do this for the other password prompts: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Precise#usesudowithoutpasswordprompt (but just remember your a walking hacker target)
[21:07] <genii-around> klpkt: When you do: ifconfig wlan0    does it show an IP address has been given?
[21:07] <joshmc> Uh: TJ- had some good information on that, make sure you are in the nopasswdlogin group, and tweak your sudoers so it doesn't ask for a password.
[21:07] <klpkt> genii-around: No
[21:07] <Uh> fine how do i change my password back to simply a spacebar?
[21:07] <joshmc> Uh: and see shihan above, if it your IRC client didn't notify you of it
[21:08] <genii-around> klpkt: What is the result of: ps aux| grep wpa_supplicant
[21:09] <joshmc> Uh: use passwd, or the system administration menu, I'd imagine. I haven't used ubuntu myself in awhile, so I'm not clear on the specifics.
[21:09] <Ryu_eye7> test
[21:09] <Uh> well
[21:09] <joshmc> Ryu_eye7: Welcome to the internet
[21:09] <Uh> I've tried, and it's too short, but it worked before?
[21:09] <klpkt> genii-around: [username]   2557   0.0   0.0   4368   828 pts/0   S+   23:08   0:00   grep   --color=auto wpa_supplicant
[21:10] <shihan> uh: if you go "sudo passwd yourusername" it'll let you use space that way
[21:11] <TJ-> I think what Uh is saying is, PAM now checks for password complexity, and refuses simple passwords. Uh - you'd need to over-ride that setting in PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)
[21:11] <Uh> I guess that worked though
[21:11] <Uh> trying it now
[21:11] <xibalba> uh is quite a confusing name in here
[21:11] <Uh> ya. back to a space bar
[21:12] <TJ-> xibalba: uh-oh :p
[21:12] <xibalba> like the comic skit, who's on first
[21:13] <VLanZ> please guys, could you tell me what is wrong with those partitions?   http://imageshack.us/a/img703/7770/screensh34.jpg
[21:13] <trennor> trying to contact a forum admin. forgotten pw, and email has changed since last login.  says to contact an admin. can't do that, it wants to you to login. can't login, no pw. who dreamed this up and wot do I do about it?
[21:14] <TJ-> trennor: create a new ID? How can you be verified as the true owner without the two bits of relatively personal data attached to the account?
[21:14] <mikkel_>  Can someone help me, I have constant freezes!
[21:14] <trennor> I guess I'll have to, thank-you TJ
[21:15] <SubjectOne> ls /media/c2f374e9-6f57-44a5-97a7-42dda603c822/ /mnt/dump/
[21:15] <SubjectOne> this should create a hardlink right ?
[21:15] <TJ-> trennor: I'm not saying give up - but the systems isn't being silly :)
[21:15] <klpkt> genii-around: I have to go; do you have some quick hints to help before I quit?
[21:15] <joshmc> SubjectOne: no, that's listing two directories. You wrote ls instead of ln.
[21:15] <SubjectOne> omg, thanx
[21:15] <genii-around> klpkt: I'll try to find you a link on the wpa stuff
[21:15] <SubjectOne> stupid typo
[21:15] <TJ-> trennor: Maybe your browser saved the password for you at some time? maybe a browser you used previously, if not now?
[21:15] <joshmc> SubjectOne: if you haven't read 'man ln' it's worth reading too
[21:16] <trennor> TJ: yea it is when it says "contact an admin if your email has changed" and yet you're supposed to login. the implicatioin is you don't have to be logged into to contact an admin. THAT'S wot I'm looking for
[21:16] <TJ-> trennor: Do you mean ubuntu forums?
[21:16] <trennor> yes
[21:16] <escott> mikkel_, not a lot we can do with a freeze. if you get an actual panic message then that can sometimes indicate the source. otherwise you can try REISUB and see if you can figure out the actual cause from a log message after the freeze. what kind of graphics card are you using and what drivers?
[21:16] <escott> !sysrq | mikkel_
[21:16] <genii-around> klpkt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo is old but much of it still applies.
[21:17] <trennor> TJ, yes, the ubuntu forums
[21:17] <SubjectOne> joshmc how do i break that link ?
[21:17] <TJ-> trennor: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/180035/cannot-log-in-to-ubuntu-forums-and-cannot-contact-administrator
[21:17] <IdleOne> trennor: ask in #ubuntuforums
[21:17] <trennor> TJ, thank-you
[21:17] <trennor> and IdleOne
[21:17] <joshmc> SubjectOne: unlink I'd guess?
[21:17] <SubjectOne> k
[21:18] <mikkel_> es
[21:18] <VLanZ> i can't get rid of 1.00MB unallocated space
[21:18] <mikkel_> escott, and ubottu. Thank u, i will try this next time i crash
[21:18] <deadmund> VLanZ: sometimes you just can't.  The partitions don't always fit perfectly in the unallocated disc sapce
[21:18] <joshmc> VLanZ: what would you do with that single MB? :)
[21:19] <deadmund> VLanZ probably wants to store his precious diary
[21:19] <miqueiaspenha> algum br ai?
[21:20] <escott> !br | miqueiaspenha
[21:20] <VLanZ> haha lol guys you're funny :P
[21:21] <VLanZ> it's just a consmetic issue
[21:21] <VLanZ> but it's so much pain
[21:21] <VLanZ> lol
[21:24] <techkid6> there a command to add people to sudoers?
[21:24] <techkid6> or do i have to do it manually
[21:24] <TJ-> VLanZ: I assume you're talking about between partitions on a disk?
[21:24] <TJ-> techkid6: see "man visudo"
[21:24] <escott> techkid6, sudo usermod -aG admin username
[21:24] <joshmc> techkid6: visudo? :) actually if you grant sudoers based on a group, such as wheel or sudo, you can add them to the group
[21:25] <techkid6> oh, ok :P
[21:25] <escott> techkid6, with 12.04 there is the "sudo" group instead of "admin"
[21:25] <techkid6> cool :)
[21:25] <TJ-> techkid6: Ubuntu has a group "admin" and/or sometimes "adm" - one or both will/should be in /etc/group and in /etc/sudoers
[21:25] <VLanZ> TJ: yeah i was bothered about 1.00MB unallocated space between partitions, i guest
[21:26] <techkid6> ok
[21:26] <VLanZ> ops
[21:26] <techkid6> thanks
[21:26] <VLanZ> TJ: *i guess i've partitioned the rest correctly
[21:26] <escott> VLanZ, you probably need that 1MB to be properly aligned
[21:26] <VLanZ> escott: sotty what do you mean?
[21:26] <VLanZ> is that being sarcastic?
[21:27] <TJ-> VLanZ: The small unallocated spaces are caused because partitioners like to arrange partitions on 'cylinder' boundaries. That's a silly legacy from when disks really were addressed using CHS about 20 years ago!
[21:27] <VLanZ> oh i see.. but how can i partition correctly regarding sector counts?
[21:27] <VLanZ> does fstab allow me to do that?
[21:27] <TJ-> VLanZ: the unallocated space will be between the end of one partition, and the start of the next 'cylinder' boundary
[21:28] <TJ-> VLanZ: it's not worth worrying about!
[21:28] <TJ-> VLanZ: You can use fdisk to allocate whole numbers of cylinders, yes
[21:28] <escott> VLanZ, for performance reasons you sometimes need to have some unallocated space on the disk. disk drive firmwares may not like being unaligned and the disk could be slower if you use that 1MB
[21:28] <VLanZ> I must reinstall due to other reasons so i might try to get this right this time
[21:29] <TJ-> VLanZ: CHS is just a mirage these days, all disks use LBA (Logical Block Addressing)
[21:29] <VLanZ> TJ: wait. it iis a SSD by the way
[21:29] <TJ-> VLanZ: I know  - but tools like fdisk/cfdisk etc. all like to pretend the block device has cylinders, heads, and tracks
[21:30] <TJ-> VLanZ: If you use GPT instead of msdos disk labels, you don't need to worry about CHS
[21:32] <VLanZ> TJ: ehm.. i gess this is too advanced for me..  i'll lock up what GPT is b4
[21:32] <VLanZ> *look
[21:33] <escott> VLanZ, its really not worth worrying about. you will waste more than 1MB in some other way. its smaller than a single mp3
[21:33] <BEC> genii-around, ? (sry cxn pb)
[21:33] <TJ-> VLanZ: great place to hide secret files :p
[21:33] <maheanuu> I am having a major problem, I downloaded and installed VLC to my Ubuntu 12.04 and now all the pen drives I have and external usb drives are marked as read only and any download tries to open VLC  Please give me any and all reasons and repairs for this mess
[21:34] <TJ-> maheanuu: Where did you download VLC from?
[21:35] <genii-around> BEC: You asked me earlier "<BEC> genii-around, does it cause any issueS?"  but never said what you were referring to.
[21:35] <trennor> Question about Firefox and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: why does FF appear to lag this OS? I've got a dual core system and a fast invidia GEFORCE 9500 video card and yet at times one processor is jammed full and the 2nd at 50% and fluctuating towards 75%; when I kill Firefox, the processors slowly empty. Not running videos or anything memory intensive that I can see
[21:36] <BEC> issues of installing 10.04 over 12.04 if i wan to go back to 10.04.4 (ove /boot & /)
[21:36] <VLanZ> escott: of course it's not a matter of wasted space, but as a network engineer i'd like to do all things in the proper way; unfortunatley i got into linux quite lately, i kinda envy you guys to have all this knowledge
[21:36] <BEC> does /home cause any issues?
[21:36] <deadmund> trennor: over wifi?  Maybe the wifi driver is killing you.
[21:36] <escott> BEC, more than likely yes. you will want to nuke ~/.config
[21:36] <maheanuu> TJ-, I downloaded it from Software Manager
[21:36] <trennor> no, not wifi, deadmund, I'm on wired Broadband
[21:36] <deadmund> trennor: mmmm, not sure...
[21:37] <VLanZ> even tought i had to work with microSoft for like 15 years, now i'm using linux for the 80% of the time
[21:37] <genii-around> BEC: I don't know. But you might want to install the 10.04 with a different default username first, then later make a new admin user with your old name and try logging in with that .
[21:37] <TJ-> trennor: plugins? extensions? Have you tried starting FF in safe mode?
[21:37] <BEC> genii-around, home is encrpted!
[21:38] <trennor> I do have lotsa plugins, but on another OS, they never bothered it. but since I switched back to Ubuntu, I'm seeing this.
[21:38] <BEC> genii-around, i was asking about issues due to preferences or stuff
[21:38] <BEC> anyways
[21:38] <BEC> genii-around, u have 12.04? or?
[21:38] <trennor> I could even run a flight simulator and FF with NO problem. now .....?  it jams up
[21:38] <deadmund> trennor: Take a look at this: www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-system-debugging-super.html
[21:38] <TJ-> maheanuu: OK... I can't explain your symptoms, but I'd be looking in the log-files in /var/log/ for clues. Also, which browser is always using VLC? most browsers have a tab where you can configure which application opens each mime-type
[21:39] <BEC> the looks of 12.04 is great but the underlying system is a drawback for me; wifi not working as used to, problems installing , mathematica/maple
[21:39] <trennor> deadmund, thanks for the link; checking.
[21:39] <BEC> tomboy
[21:39] <deadmund> trennor: It's quite elaborate
[21:40] <maheanuu> TJ-,  I use Firefox as my browser and all was fine until i installed VLC  and it immediatly took over my downloads of any video/audio and I have to use magnet to do any downloads in order to have Transmission doing the work
[21:42] <TJ-> maheanuu: Ahhh, so it is just media files then. I think what you're seeing is the fact that VLC registers with the system to open all types of media files by their mime-type, so it's probably not specific to your browser. Firefox can be set to always ask what you want to do with a file
[21:42] <maheanuu> TJ-, what commands do I need to look at the /var/log files
[21:42] <genii-around> BEC: I'm currently testing 12.10 actually
[21:43] <VLanZ> any clue why i'm not allowed to issue "fstrim /dev/sda1/" but just "fstrim /" ?
[21:43] <BEC> genii-around, how does it round up vs 12.04?
[21:43] <TJ-> maheanuu: The log-files won't help for the VLC issue. The /var/log/kern.log might help understand why USB storage devices are mounted read-only, if you view it after plugging a device in. You can use "Log File Viewer" for opening the log-files.
[21:44] <jrib> VLanZ: well the man page says fstrim expects a mount point
[21:44] <maheanuu> TJ-,I try to download text or other pdf files and have the same thing happening in the downloads,  but the pen drives and external hard drives happened to come up read only at the same time or so I believe
[21:44] <genii-around> BEC: Seems faster. I don't use Unity or Gnome for my regular desktop though, I'm on KDE mostly, sometimes XFCE.
[21:44] <VLanZ> jrib: but this way i just manage to trim the current partition, how about another device?
[21:45] <jrib> VLanZ: mount it and point fstrim to its mount point
[21:45] <seumas_> :)
[21:45] <VLanZ> jrib: oh right now i got it
[21:45] <VLanZ> sorry
[21:45] <escott> VLanZ, you have to mount it first. how else would it know what blocks are unused (unless it read the raw underlying filesystem and parsed it)
[21:45] <seumas_> take cares people I'm out :)
[21:45] <VLanZ> escott: yeah right :)
[21:46] <TJ-> maheanuu: try a different browser. Try to narrow down the issue.
[21:46] <VLanZ> however someone argues on the point that the trim function for SSD's hould be implemented directly on /etc/fstab
[21:46] <VLanZ> with noatime and such as
[21:46] <ollie_> Why can't I find the linux-preempt kernel in apt?
[21:47] <VLanZ> other guys suggest to run weekly the fstrim -v command
[21:47] <escott> VLanZ, trim can be very very time consuming and reduce the lifetime of the disk if done incorrectly and/or with bad firmware on the ssd
[21:48] <VLanZ> escott: it's a quite new drive, a Corsair GT force and it does support ir
[21:48] <VLanZ> *it
[21:48] <bekks> Basically, using recent Ubuntu versions, and recent ext4 versions, trim is already implemented, and can easily be enabled by just adding "discard" to the fstab.
[21:49] <VLanZ> why do you say it can damage it?
[21:49] <escott> VLanZ, SSD firmware and its relationship with the OS is still very immature. its not clear where the responsibility for things lies... so the conservative approach is for the OS to be cautious and do nothing. if you know the physical block size of your SSD and its alignment and are confident the firmware can handle trims then go ahead, but the OS doesn't know the answers to those questions
[21:49] <VLanZ> escott: wow it seems very dangerous
[21:50] <escott> VLanZ, if I tell the firmware to discard a logical block C which is part of a physical block [ABCD] where B and D are not being trimmed (because they have data), I could end up triggering a rewrite of the B,D blocks to a new location
[21:51] <bekks> Which isnt dangerous, but can lower the lifetime of a disk.
[21:51] <escott> VLanZ, even though just saying "I don't need this block, don't track it" seems to be a "safe" operation, it could trigger writes
[21:51] <escott> VLanZ, which as bekks says, should be safe for the data, but could shorten the life of the disk
[21:52] <VLanZ> escott: sorry, but i don't quite understand how that could be harmful for the life of the drive
[21:53] <VLanZ> cause of the multiple write operations that the drive must sustain?
[21:53] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: trim is brilliant, you should use it as much as possible to keep your disks nice and fast.  What happens is that if you use trim a couple of times, the massive number of writes will kill the SSD so you send it back under warranty, and you'll probably get a newer, faster one
[21:53] <bekks> The more often you use a "thing", the higher the chance to break it.
[21:53] <bekks> Not even a disk, but everything.
[21:53] <escott> VLanZ, SSDs only get a finite number of writes, and do not support overwriting. every time you write a single bit, it has to read a large block (perhaps as much as 4MB) and find a space to write the whole thing out again
[21:54] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: you mean trim can help me having a faster drive by buying another one?? wtf???
[21:54] <VLanZ> lol
[21:55] <VLanZ> so why is it even implemented
[21:55] <XiaolinDraconis> is purge part of the update process?
[21:55] <escott> VLanZ, you probably don't need to be worrying about trim at all unless your disk usage is high 80% or higher. if its lower than that, then there are plenty of free blocks
[21:56] <XiaolinDraconis> i just updated this morning and apt-cache is not listing a previous version of chromium-browser
[21:56] <escott> VLanZ, but if you turn over a large number of blocks (say you update from 12.04->12.10) then thats a good time to think about trimming
[21:56] <SumoJim> When I put a USB into the computer, it is auto-mounted to /media/disk. What is the name of the service that does this?
[21:57] <escott> SumoJim, udev and udisks
[21:57] <Guest20344> Hmm. Quick question.
[21:57] <VLanZ> escott: but i didnt know that trimming a drive would reduce te mtbf of the drive
[21:57] <VLanZ> what the hell
[21:58] <maheanuu> TJ-, here are the pasted files from the syslog can you tell anything from them? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219498/
[21:58] <escott> VLanZ, this is a bit old, but explains some of the concerns http://blog.valerieaurora.org/2008/09/13/to-ssd-or-not-to-ssd/
[21:58] <SumoJim> escott Ok great! I think udisks might be my starting point. Thanks!
[21:59] <TJ-> maheanuu: those are errors when the device is connected, seeming to indicate the device has a problem of some sort and cannot be addressed
[21:59] <Guest20344> I've got a touch screen and a till which need some commands to get connected, so I'm putting these in a update-rc.d script.  This runs absolutely perfectly, However upon shutting ubuntu down again the shutdown process stalls.  Any suggestions as to what would cause that?
[21:59] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: trim is an excellent way to ruin SSDs
[22:00] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: so if you use it often, you'll always have the latest and greatest SSD, until you go broke
[22:00] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: so in your opinion, what is the best way to achieve what trim was meant for, whatever that is?
[22:00] <Grivvel> Hello! When I start up a persistent Live USB install, TTYs 1-6 are pre-logged in to an account with root access. Is there any way to change this? (Preferably, I'd like those TTYs to require login just like they would in a normal install)
[22:00] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: it's not necessary
[22:01] <escott> VLanZ, all things in moderation, and keep good backups. benchmark a write to the disk when it is new. if it seems slower benchmark a write and if it is substantially slower consider trimming then
[22:02] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: wait , maybe i get it:  trim saves time by preemptively clearing a sector thus allowing the drive to be much faster on the subsequential write, but since trimming a drive causes some wear you could end up destroying it?
[22:02] <escott> Grivvel, if you have physical access (which you must for a USB boot) you are generally considered to already have root. if you are concerned about the contents of your files on the usb use an encrypted filesystem
[22:02] <maheanuu> Does anyone have any ideas on why all pen drives and external drives that I try to look at are being catagorized as read only and these are drives that read perfectly well on other computers of the windoze variety
[22:02] <SumoJim> Hmm...     service udisks start         udisks: unrecognized service
[22:02] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: any time you write, you reduce the lifespan of the disk
[22:03] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: you can only write a block of flash a couple of hundred thousand times
[22:03] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: not reads, just writes?
[22:03] <gordonjcp> VLanZ: that sounds like a lot, but imagine what happens when you put swap on flash :-)
[22:03] <escott> VLanZ, just reads
[22:03] <Grivvel> escott: Hmm, I suppose that makes sense. Thanks!
[22:03] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: fuck swap, i've disabled it the 1st time i installed ubuntu
[22:04] <BEC> genii-around, gtg bye
[22:04] <escott> VLanZ, and that 100,000 times is a lot less in practice because filesystems aren't balanced (some parts are read and written much more frequently) and because physical blocks on SSDs are larger than logical blocks
[22:04] <VLanZ> escott: exactly, so you would end up with data loss, reallocated sectors or what?
[22:05] <VLanZ> escott: wait, you meant "just writes" right?
[22:06] <escott> VLanZ, reads are safe, writes are harmful. read the post by aurora i sent earlier. she explains what the failure modes are like (sudden and catastrophic)
[22:06] <escott> VLanZ, in and SSD everything is a reallocated sector. the firmware is constantly relocating data on the SSD trying to wear level the device
[22:07] <VLanZ> escott: ok, but just one more thing: do you remember the gui method to run the benchmark in 12.04 ?
[22:07] <VLanZ> not the hdparm -t one
[22:07] <VLanZ> so i can now compare it between the on ei've made 2 months ago
[22:08] <escott> VLanZ, there are a bunch of harddrive benchmarks. i would use one that goes through the FS like bonnie++
[22:08] <mwmnj> Anyone around able to help me out with a shell script?
[22:08] <brad> silly question perhaps, but how do you rm a file beginning with a - ?
[22:08] <bekks> With escapting the - using \-
[22:08] <VLanZ> escott: k thanks :)
[22:09] <escott> bekks, no. that won't work. brad rm -- -filename
[22:09] <brad> ya, I tried escaping, no luck
[22:09] <genii-around> Or enclose it in double-quotes
[22:09] <brad> rm -- worked :) thanks
[22:10] <VLanZ> escott: however i don't see the big deal on that, just backup your data 120 or 250 GB is not that much and when it'll break in few yours you can actually get one more which would be 3 or 4 times faster and more affordable :)
[22:10] <escott> genii-around, bekks. the problem is not that the "-" isn't making it to rm, its that rm doesn't realize that "-" isn't the beginning of an argument. command -args -- -non-args is the standard way to get around this
[22:11] <escott> VLanZ, if you have good backups, and have the time to take backups, and have the money to replace hardware, trim to your hearts content
[22:11] <SumoJim> escott: I don't see udisks listed when I type service --status-all, and "service udisks start" outputs "udisks: unrecognized service".
[22:11] <WeThePeople> will ffmpeg convert webm files
[22:12] <escott> SumoJim, i'm not sure if it is a service, or just an application called by udev rules
[22:12] <escott> SumoJim, i suspect the later
[22:13] <escott> SumoJim, the only reason it would need a daemon would be if it were to listen to a dbus port
[22:13] <maheanuu> Is it just me, or is Ubuntu 12.04 of the same quality as Windoze 2000 or Vista???
[22:14] <SumoJim> escott: Ok, I'm going to poke around a bit more. I'll look around /etc/udev/rules.d a bit.
[22:14] <chamunks> is there a good tool that would output my computers hardware profile into an html document or something automagically?
[22:15] <XiaolinDraconis> how can i install an older version of chromium
[22:15] <XiaolinDraconis> todays update is screwed up
[22:15] <jrib> SumoJim: is there something specific you are trying to accomplish?
[22:15] <SumoJim> escott: By the way, are there any cases where some rules not get fired off? My current problem is that there is no automount with the custom .desktop file someone stuck in /usr/share/xsessions.. and I'm suspecting it's the cause since it works when I change it back.
[22:19] <SumoJim> jrib: In case you didn't see the above: My current problem is that there is no automount with the custom .desktop file someone stuck in /usr/share/xsessions.. and I'm suspecting it's the cause since it works when I change it back.
[22:19] <jrib> SumoJim: pastebin the custom .desktop
[22:20] <VLanZ> escott: yeah, i've run the benchmark again and i can tell that you can see some differences
[22:20] <chance> Hi
[22:20] <WeThePeople> hi
[22:20] <Pierreb> how can i autostart a script when the machine boots? ive put it in "rc.local" but it wont start...
[22:20] <SumoJim> jrib: I don't know if that will do much good... instead of startxfce4 like the old one, it launches a custom script... then a bunch of magic happens where no menus are allowed.
[22:21] <jrib> Pierreb: what kind of script?
[22:21] <Pierreb> jrib: or nvm its a screen session
[22:21] <jrib> Pierreb: for a user?
[22:21] <Pierreb> jrib: yes
[22:22] <jrib> Pierreb: I would suggest just using @reboot in the user's crontab
[22:22] <Pierreb> jrib: that sounds like what im looking for thanks :)
[22:23] <SumoJim> jrib: Custom .desktop http://pastebin.com/gM28iZVs
[22:24] <jrib> SumoJim: heh, right... :)  What's the script look like?
[22:24] <chance> Is there a way to have one music player playing on laptop speakers and another through headphones at the same time?
[22:25] <SumoJim> jrib: launch-hret script: http://pastebin.com/wKwzcVD3
[22:25] <chance> It's hard to find a google query that makes sense and returns what I'm looking for
[22:25] <jrib> chance: probably possible with pulseaudio, but I'm not sure.  Try exploring pavucontrol
[22:26] <SumoJim> "launcher" is a sort of kisok type display.
[22:26] <SumoJim> jrib: "launcher" is a sort of kisok type display.
[22:26] <chance> jrib: I was looking at it, but it only shows either the stereo out speakers OR the headphones
[22:27] <jrib> chance: under configuration, you have a profile for each?
[22:27] <wizardd> hey does anyone know any software for linux that allow you to handwrite math equations with mouse and convert that into images or text, like mathtype does?
[22:28] <chance> jrib: that was under output devices, but there are quite a few profiles in Configuration
[22:28] <jrib> SumoJim: hmm... wild guess: « ck-list-sessions », what's the output of that?  Less wild guess: I noticed that the default .desktop files have a different "Type" than the one you pasted.  I don't know what the "Type" means, but change it to what ubuntu.desktop has for example and see if it makes a difference
[22:29] <matzipan> guys? any idea why the updates last week broke the amd fglrx driver?
[22:29] <matzipan> *ati
[22:29] <trism> chance: definitely possible if you have separate usb headphones, in pavucontrol on the playback tab you can select the device, but if it is just a headphone jack I don't know that you can
[22:29] <matzipan> if the driver is enabled unity won't even start
[22:30] <VLanZ> gordonjcp: so i got this SSD that used to belong to a windows PC, do i have to do something before partitioning it to improve it?   like trimming, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda  and so on?
[22:31] <jrib> chance: in my case I notice that if I enable multiple profiles in the "configuration" tab, then I get a dropdown next to each application in the first tab and I can choose different profiles.  There's also a pulseaudio channel you can try on this network; they might be able to point you in the right direction.  You're free to also continue trying here of course
[22:31] <escott> SumoJim, you probably aren't running a dbus session for your user. i suspect the udev rule is firing, but that it doesn't know on whose behalf udisks is supposed to be doing the mounting
[22:31] <chance> trism: Thanks, I didn't realize they made usb headphones
[22:31] <escott> SumoJim, same as if you were logged into the console
[22:31] <escott> VLanZ, you can use hdparm to tell the firmware to discard the entire disk
[22:32] <chance> jrib: Thanks. I'll ask over there.
[22:32] <jrib> chance: they make usb toasters -_-
[22:32] <VLanZ> escott: ehm... what?
[22:32] <VLanZ> doesn't sound really safe!
[22:32] <VLanZ> it is?
[22:32] <Kravilanth> Hello! I'm having issues when running "apt-get install" commands. The application I try to install works but I get an error every time that says "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place;errors were encountered while processing: oracle-java7-installer;E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[22:33] <escott> VLanZ, man hdparm | grep -C5 discard
[22:33] <zalg> anybody know of a place where I can get a free ubuntu shell for coding?
[22:33] <chance> jrib: Automatic breakfast!
[22:34] <escott> VLanZ, if you plan to erase the entire disk, telling the firmware to discard with --trim-sector-ranges is faster and better
[22:34] <VLanZ> escott: so --trim-sector-ranges is exceptionally dangerous cause it destroys data but nothing else?
[22:34] <SumoJim> ok, I chanes "Type" to "Application", just as it was in xfce.desktop (There is no ubuntu.desktop anymore)
[22:34] <escott> VLanZ, yes
[22:34] <escott> VLanZ, if it were dangerous in some other way they wouldn't include it in the tool
[22:35] <VLanZ> escott: is it really different form zeroing the disk with dd?  don't seem too much
[22:35] <VLanZ> am i wrong?
[22:35] <VLanZ> just to know...
[22:35] <escott> VLanZ, its completely different.
[22:35] <SumoJim> jrib: ok, I chanes "Type" to "Application", just as it was in xfce.desktop (There is no ubuntu.desktop anymore), still don't see it, but looking at what escott said, I am having to hit ctrl-alt-f2 to drop to a console to see if it's mounted... maybe that's the problem?
[22:36] <escott> VLanZ, if you write zeros to the disk, then the firmware thinks you want to keep the zeros, and starts to track them for you
[22:36] <VLanZ> ooh i see
[22:36] <VLanZ> you mean on the mbr?
[22:36] <escott> VLanZ, doing dd /dev/zero /dev/ssd_device is just about the worst thing you could do to the ssd
[22:37] <SumoJim> escott: I'm having to hit ctrl-alt-f2 to drop out to the consle to get access to a terminal to check if it even mounted... will that effect whether it knows it should be availabe for my user?
[22:37] <bekks> escott: At least its the best stress test for a SSD :P
[22:37] <VLanZ> escott: ok i'll try with that command
[22:37] <escott> VLanZ, the "disk" presented to you by the SSD is completely logical. the actual SSD has 150GB+a couple megs, on which it runs its own filesystem
[22:38] <VLanZ> escott that's interesting... is it the way they can keep up with the 120GB space even reallocating secotrs?
[22:39] <VLanZ> and yes, my SSD is a 120GB one
[22:39] <escott> SumoJim, your desktop runs the xfwm4 windows manager and thats about it. all the "nice" desktop stuff isn't there and wont work. you need to be running some kind of dbus session with a session manager to have that stuff. the udev/udisks doesn't even know that anyone is logged in with that Xsession
[22:40] <escott> VLanZ, so yours is probably 120.1GB and that additional 100MB is used by the flash disk as overhead for its own filesystem which is uses to create a single gigantic block file which it presents to the OS as a 120GB drive with SATA semantics
[22:40] <SumoJim> escott: I'm hoping to be able to add all that "nice" desktop stuff into the script. I'm just looking for what to add.
[22:41] <escott> SumoJim, you would be better off customizing a gnome-session or ksession? (not sure what kde calls it), rather than writing an Xsession file
[22:42] <jrib> escott, SumoJim: to be fair, mounting seems to work ok when I use ~/.xsession and xmonad.  But I can't recall if I had to do something special...
[22:43] <SumoJim> escott: Is my launch-hret file is? An Xsession file? (Sorry, kinda jumping in behind someone elses work who is on vacation, I'm still learning.)
[22:45] <SumoJim> escott: Ok... yea... I guess tht makes since with that "Type" field.
[22:45] <escott> SumoJim, Xsession is the old way of doing things. X starts these things and waits for the final one to finish and then closes the server. its not particularly user friendly. hard to make a gui that can edit files in /etc/X11 and having ~/.Xsession is complicated for the display-manager. so the hack-around was to make Xsession just start "gnome-session" and let gnome-session do all the session managing work, and then have gui's into gno
[22:45] <escott> me-sessions configuration
[22:45] <VLanZ> escott: but i do get to see how many sectors have been reallocated on my SSD?
[22:45] <escott> VLanZ, reallocated isn't a concept on an SSD
[22:50] <wpauls> I want to use an old webcam that uses lpt1 port, how can i do this?
[22:51] <maheanuu_> exit
[22:51] <ikonia> wpauls: what is the make and model of this webcam that uses a printer port ?
[22:52] <wpauls> ikonia, it's an alris quickvideo wee cam
[22:52] <wpauls> ikonia, I have this number too bha 9aa 02985
[22:52] <VLanZ> escott: i've told it to trim sectors 0:234441648  but i get    "trim-sector-ranges[0]: bad/missing sector count"
[22:53] <ikonia> wpauls: as that camera has no linux support listed and a propritary windows driver, I suspect you will be out of luck
[22:53] <VLanZ> escott:  geometry      = 14593/255/63, sectors = 234441648, start = 0
[22:54] <wpauls> ikonia, thanks for the heads up.
[22:57] <VLanZ> escott:  i can do it only up sector 65535 which is 2^16-1
[22:57] <VLanZ> what the hell?
[22:59] <Dantevios> Does ubuntu server come with a GUI like gnome?
[23:00] <xangua> Dantevios: no
[23:00] <Dantevios> can I install one? and what level of difficulty would it be?
[23:00] <ikonia> Dantevios: why don't you use ubuntu desktop ?
[23:01] <escott> VLanZ, I believe that is a limitation of the ATA standard that it only accepts a 16bit number for the amount to trip. you will want to script it so that you trim 0:16635 then 16636:131070 etc
[23:01] <Jordan_U> Dantevios: What are you actually planning to use this machine for?
[23:02] <escott> VLanZ, see the associated command --trim-sector-ranges-stdin
[23:02] <VLanZ> escott: k thanks :)
[23:02] <Acromartsu> Hello chaps! I'd like to make a live USB drive of Ubuntu (cuz it seems so awesome!! ^^). Would you recommend me to use Unetbootin on Pendrivelinux, or another program?
[23:02] <Dantevios> I want to run xen cloud platform on ubuntu just as a host and do hardware virtual machines ikonia and i heard there are some good gui tools for xcp, but I don't necessarily want the bulkiness of a desktop OS running as just a base OS
[23:02] <ikonia> Dantevios: the "desktop" is the gui
[23:03] <escott> VLanZ, i guess that second one is a sector count do it doesn't change. its just 65536*k:65536
[23:03] <ikonia> Dantevios: there are ubuntu versions such as xubuntu lubuntu that use non-gnome desktops that are supposed to be lighter
[23:03] <Dantevios> yeah but it comes loaded down with office products and software I don't want on it ikonia
[23:03] <ikonia> Dantevios: so remove it
[23:03] <Dantevios> wouldn't it just be easier to install a GUI through apt-get on the server edition ikonia ?
[23:03] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a SIL3132 eSATA card in my ubuntu box.  The card works except FIS switching does not.  Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
[23:03] <TrueNhero> help
[23:03] <ikonia> Dantevios: open the package manager, select the software you don't want, click "remove
[23:04] <ikonia> Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform
[23:04] <ikonia> TrueNhero: well done on getting your issue clearly explained
[23:04] <Dantevios> think of it as a server with a GPU ikonia
[23:04] <ikonia> Dantevios: that's not what I asked
[23:04] <ikonia> Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform
[23:04] <TrueNhero> i had install libc6 2.15 then the system doesnt start
[23:04] <Dantevios> My desktop is a desktop but it is powerful enough to compete with a Dell Poweredge server
[23:05] <ikonia> Dantevios: again, that's not what I asked
[23:05] <ikonia> Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform
[23:05] <Dantevios> it has an i7 860 chip in it and 16 gigs of ram
[23:05] <ikonia> so it's a desktop PC yes ?
[23:05] <Dantevios> yes, but it will be used as a virtualization server
[23:05] <Dantevios> essentially
[23:05] <ikonia> Dantevios: right, so I'd advise you to use the desktop install ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu and remove packages you don't want
[23:05] <zamn_> hey i'm trying to resize my root partition and for some reason gparted wont let me. Can you guys help me?
[23:05] <ikonia> simpley because the desktop CD is designed to be used with desktops and tools to configure desktop style hardware
[23:06] <Dantevios> why ikonia ? What is different about the server edition why is that special?
[23:06] <xangua> zamn_: are you on a live cd¿
[23:06] <Dantevios> are we talking different driver packages here?
[23:06] <Dantevios> or what
[23:06] <zamn_> xangua: i'm on gparted live cd as i was told to use that
[23:06] <ikonia> Dantevios: it's designed for server platforms that don't use desktop packages such as wireless cards, desktop video cards etc
[23:06] <L3top> server = quality of I/O and redundancy. Essentially... different hardware.
[23:06] <jilt007> Hello All!
[23:06] <Jordan_U> zamn_: What happens when you try to resize the partition? Do you see any error messages?
[23:07] <Dantevios> that makes more sense then thank you ikonia
[23:07] <zamn_> Jordan_U: it just won't let me resize the root partition. I am only allowed to resize it up to 5GB when I have 30 GB free
[23:07] <Jordan_U> zamn_: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[23:08] <Dantevios> is there an x64 edition of ubuntu 12.04?
[23:08] <escott> Dantevios, yes
[23:08] <ikonia> yes
[23:08] <Dantevios> don't answer that doh
[23:08] <Dantevios> just saw it my bad annoying questions
[23:08] <ikonia> Dantevios: it's not a problem
[23:09] <XiaolinDraconis> id like to install this version of chrome
[23:09] <XiaolinDraconis> chromium-browser 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
[23:09] <XiaolinDraconis> what command would i need?
[23:09] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: are you running ubuntu 12.04 ?
[23:09] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia, yes
[23:10] <escott> Dantevios, the only reason i can think of for installing a desktop as the primary hypervisor in kvm/xen is (a) you don't want to run another linux desktop as a guest (b) you want to use the primary video card, but cannot pass it through with vt-d
[23:10] <Scunizi> I had the PPA enabled for LibreOffice (most current) and had issues with one file being held back during an update. Googled, removed LO and couldn't get it back.  Disabled the PPA and loaded the current version in the ubuntu repos. No issues until I try to run anything from LO and it segfaults according to dmesg.  HOw do I fix this?
[23:10] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: then if you open the package manager, search for chrome and hit install, it will install
[23:10] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia, no that would install version 20
[23:10] <juniour> XiaolinDraconis wt you want to install google chrome
[23:10] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia, with todays update chromium is crashing extensions
[23:10] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: is there a reason you don't want to use the current ubuntu packaged versin
[23:11] <XiaolinDraconis> ^
[23:11] <Dantevios> escott: I do want to run another linux desktop as a guest and I do want the functionality of doing a pass through. I have heard ubuntu has xen in it's repos that's why I want to use it specifically.
[23:11] <ikonia> XiaolinDraconis: you'll need to use apt-get $package version=$version
[23:11] <Dantevios> but if the host OS doesn't have the correct video drivers then that's pointless so I guess that rules server edition out for me
[23:11] <ikonia> Dantevios: why do you care about the server GPU ?
[23:11] <chamunks> is there a hardware profiler program that i can use to print a report on whats under the hood of my machine here?
[23:11] <zamn_> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/qURkzyxa here it is
[23:11] <xangua> (18:09:23) XiaolinDraconis: chromium-browser 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 - that is the latest in precice, did you add a third party repository¿
[23:11] <XiaolinDraconis> ikonia, thank you
[23:12] <subcool> how do you dd a directory to a new location?
[23:12] <zamn_> Jordan_U: since its a vbox vm it wouldn't let me copy/paste for some reason so i had to manually type it out -_-
[23:12] <juniour> subcool wt?
[23:12] <ikonia> subcool: errr you don't do that
[23:12] <subcool> ggrr-
[23:12] <ikonia> subcool: you use "mv" or "cp"
[23:12] <subcool> im moving my home directory
[23:12] <XiaolinDraconis> xangua, im not entirely sure, i used a script that wasnt mine to enable various things
[23:12] <Dantevios> because ikonia I'm going to make two HVMs and use them for Windows guests to do Direct3D gaming while not having to sacrifice the convience of running linux as a desktop
[23:12] <Dantevios> and do a graphics card passthrough to both of them
[23:13] <juniour> subcool try 'mv'
[23:13] <ikonia> Dantevios: I assure you that's never going to work
[23:13] <L3top> XiaolinDraconis: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser=18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 0
[23:13] <b0b0> +OK UjkFn.JPVlg0
[23:13] <subcool> juniour, it didnt work for me last time-
[23:13] <juniour> you want to move your home directly permantly or temp
[23:14] <XiaolinDraconis> L3top, does the word version need to go before the equals
[23:14] <L3top> XiaolinDraconis: yes
[23:14] <escott> Dantevios, i was looking into doing this myself (haven't purchased the hardware though) and one thing I read was that a VT-d passthrough of the primary display adapter was not possible in either KVM or XEN. if thats still true then you would lose the intel HD (or at least it would only be accessible to the primary hypervisor)
[23:14] <juniour> subcool you want to move your home dir permanently or temp
[23:14] <subcool> juniour, perm
[23:14] <juniour> kkkk
[23:14] <Smackbook> i'm tying to install compat-wireless to fix my wifi drivers and when I do make i get this http://pastebin.com/TsKKeze8 can anyone tell me what this means?
[23:15] <Dantevios> ikonia: I have a net admin buddy that manages super computers for a living that says it will and is going to help me so I'm going to try at least, there is already a software called softxpand that does this and it runs in windows. There is no reason this shouldn't work by passing two keyboards, two mice, and two monitors to different HVMs.
[23:15] <XiaolinDraconis> L3top, thanks, now i cant understand why that version is not found
[23:15] <ikonia> Dantevios: never going to happen
[23:15] <Dantevios> Yee hath little faith ikonia :)
[23:15] <escott> ikonia, why do you say that?
[23:16] <ikonia> Dantevios: not really, just experience in it
[23:16] <Dantevios> in PCIe passthrough?
[23:16] <Dantevios> with HVMs
[23:16] <L3top> XiaolinDraconis: apt-cache search chromium-browser  the specific version avail will be one of the options.
[23:16] <ikonia> Dantevios: you're running on home desktop hardware
[23:16] <escott> ikonia, he has an i7 so it supports Vt-d
[23:16] <ikonia> it won't access things quick enough
[23:16] <XiaolinDraconis> L3top, thats where i got that version
[23:16] <ikonia> escott: yeah, try it
[23:17] <Dantevios> ikonia: my i7 860 supports direct IO and Vt-d
[23:17] <VLanZ> escott: weird... it doesnt accept any range above secotr 65535...
[23:17] <juniour> subcool for that you have to create another partation
[23:17] <ikonia> escott: it's great for things that access the gpu, but gaming...no,
[23:17] <Dantevios> That's why i told you to think of it as a server
[23:17] <escott> ikonia, well i want to try it, but i'd like to know what to buy before spending the money
[23:17] <ikonia> Dantevios: it's not though
[23:17] <subcool> juniour, i already have- im trying to copy it now..
[23:17] <Dantevios> the hardware in my desktop is comperable to a Dell Poweredge as I told you
[23:17] <ikonia> Dantevios: it's a "good" desktop
[23:17] <juniour> kkk
[23:17] <ikonia> Dantevios: no, it's not
[23:17] <juniour> kkk
[23:18] <escott> ikonia, are you saying that the added memory latency from the second indirect lookup in the virtualization is the problem?
[23:18] <Dantevios> ok same chips, same ram, same north bridge bus, i don't see why it's not
[23:18] <Dantevios> but ok
[23:18] <juniour> subcool usermod -d /home/your_home_directory USERNAME
[23:18] <subcool> whats that do?
[23:18] <juniour> subcool then chown -R USERNAME /new_location/your_home_directory
[23:18] <ikonia> escott: the demos I've seen and worked with can access the video cards great, no problem, but in terms of accessing the video, working it with a guest OS to do fast rendering graphics like a FPS, no, it just doesn't cut it
[23:19] <ikonia> escott: so the short answer is "yes"
[23:19] <ikonia> escott: however things that need to access the gpu for say drawing or video editoring, yes it seems to work well
[23:19] <Dantevios> ikonia: how come softxpand can do it then?
[23:19] <ikonia> Dantevios: I don't know what softxpand is to be honest
[23:20] <escott> ikonia, so Rhino Maya Civilization 12=good, and Doom 8.5 = bad
[23:20] <Dantevios> ikonia: http://www.miniframe.com/products/softxpand/softxpand-2011-duo.html
[23:20] <pfifo> can I get a 2.6 kernel from the repos?
[23:20] <lawltoad> hi, i have a macbook pro 9,1 and want to throw ubuntu on it... any advice?
[23:20] <Jordan_U> pfifo: Why do you want an old kernel?
[23:20] <lawltoad> its not booting the live environment right now
[23:21] <ikonia> escott: I guess it would depend how fast it needs to interact with the screen and take input and respond to that.
[23:21] <ikonia> Dantevios: I don't know what it is to start researching it now.
[23:21] <pfifo> Jordan_U, for the module at http://eeepc-linux.googlecode.com
[23:21] <ikonia> Dantevios: if you think you can do it....go for it. I assure you you'll be dissapointed
[23:21] <Dantevios> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIshT3sZMbQ - Two users on one computer playing batman arkham
[23:21] <juniour> ssubcool follow this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/21321/move-home-folder-to-second-drive
[23:21] <Dantevios> Direct3D virtualization split on the same GPU
[23:22] <XiaolinDraconis> i used apt-cache to show me chromium-browser i copy pasted the version and apt-get is unable to find it
[23:22] <juniour> subcool you can also try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[23:22] <escott> !mbp | lawltoad
[23:22] <ikonia> Dantevios: I don't know how that software works so I can't comment, however the linux based hypervisors such as xen won't work
[23:22] <ikonia> (or work as you want them to)
[23:22] <escott> !macbook | lawltoad
[23:24] <pfifo> Jordan_U, so can I get an official one or do I need to compile my own?
[23:27] <lawltoad> thanks!
[23:27] <Jordan_U> pfifo: Why do you think that you need this particular module?
[23:27] <L3top> what is the version XiaolinDraconis
[23:27] <XiaolinDraconis> 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
[23:27] <XiaolinDraconis> thats what apt-cache tells me
[23:28] <L3top> XiaolinDraconis: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser=18.0.1025.168*
[23:28] <L3top> probably has issues with the tilde
[23:28] <XiaolinDraconis> ahh thank you
[23:29] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a SIL3132 eSATA card in my ubuntu box.  The card works except FIS switching does not.  Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
[23:29] <XiaolinDraconis> woah holy crud
[23:29] <pfifo> Jordan_U, google referred me to this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Using#Overclocking not the Overclocking part
[23:29] <pfifo> note*
[23:29] <XiaolinDraconis> before u said this i opted to installed chromium-browser which got me version 20
[23:29] <XiaolinDraconis> and to my surprise my config is intact
[23:30] <XiaolinDraconis> now to see if things crash
[23:30] <XiaolinDraconis> of course
[23:30] <Jordan_U> zamn_: Which partition are you trying to resize?
[23:32] <XiaolinDraconis> L3top, and u were correct, the asterisk solved it
[23:35] <XiaolinDraconis> thanks guys
[23:37] <pfifo> Jordan_U, any other questions or comments?
[23:38] <Tigerboy> anyone have any idea why the ability to resize a window is not working
[23:38] <Tigerboy> The windows will not resize but I can do maximum
[23:41] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a SIL3132 eSATA card in my ubuntu box.  The card works except FIS switching does not.  Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
[23:41] <xangua> Tigerboy: sounds like you disabled the rezize windows plugin, do you have compiz settings manager installed¿
[23:42] <Tigerboy> xangua: oh duh If I only had a brain thank you so much I"m sure that is what it is. :)
[23:43] <Tigerboy> Xangua: yes that was it, thanks again.
[23:44] <xangua> Tigerboy: you can always get a brain if you follow the yellow path to the wizard of Oz :)
[23:45] <pfifo> !kernel > pfifo
[23:45] <blackshirt> !kernel
[23:45] <Tigerboy> Xangua: check out the new movie- Oz the Great and Powerful-- what happened before the Wizard of Oz- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsfY6aXDFbU
[23:45] <Jordan_U> pfifo: Do you have a file /proc/eee/fsb currently?
[23:45] <shihan> THE_GFR|WORK, the driver does say it supports fis, doesnt seem to have a switch for turning it on and off that i can see
[23:46] <N3LOH> Hello all, I just did an update with the updater for 12.04 and now the PC boots to the boot loader and asks me to pick what I wish to do. If I use the updated kernel it reboots to the loader...so I have to go back to the older ver. Anyone here having that issue?
[23:46] <Tigerboy> that looks wild but I'm sure it is not until next year
[23:47] <blackshirt> !kfreebsd
[23:49] <pfifo> Jordan_U, no, i dont
[23:49] <blackshirt> thats a common problem with ubuntu
[23:50] <Scunizi> After uninstalling LibreOffice from the PPA and trying to reinstall the normal repo version... nothing in Libreoffice works.. won't load files or even a new file.. Any help appriciated!
[23:51] <Jordan_U> pfifo: If you run "sudo modprobe eeepc-laptop" does it cause the file to appear?
[23:53] <kroson> Scunizi: what was the issue with the libreoffice from ppa?
[23:53] <r007> hi
[23:53] <r007> i'm looking for program like this for linux
[23:54] <Scunizi> kroson: there was one package that wouldn't update.. following instruction in bugzilla about it included removing it. once that was done I couldn't reinstall either and make them work
[23:54] <r007> http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-7693-clap-commander
[23:54] <blackshirt> r007, i don't understand with program like this...
[23:54] <pfifo> Jordan_U, well, the module loads fine and shows up in an lsmod, but /proc/eee/fsb is not created
[23:55] <r007> blackshirt, http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-7693-clap-commander
[23:55] <Scunizi> kroson: I followed instructions on bugzilla to overcome a package that wouldn't update (LO related).. that included uninstalling LO PPA and files and reinstalling.  That didn't work so I tried to revert back to standard repo version.. still not working.
[23:55] <blackshirt> r007, i'm on handheld devices, and can't follow your link given
[23:55] <Scunizi> kroson: dmesg shows a seg fault when tring to load calc or writer etc.
[23:56] <matt-9118> hello I need help compiling wifi drivers. how can I compile one module, instead of compiling my whole kernel?
[23:56] <r007> blackshirt, the name of the program is "clap commander"
[23:56] <blackshirt> r007, what the program used for?
[23:57] <r007> blackshirt, Clap Commander is a tool that enables you to remote control your computer by clapping hands. Simple and easy to use, the application allows you to assign task for claps. Offering an intuitive interface, this tool gives you the ability recognize those claps from a microphone. Assign the number of claps to turn off your system.
[23:57] <matt-9118> can someone with compiling knowledge PM me?
[23:58] <Scunizi> kroson: any idea?
[23:58] <matt-9118> how can I compile module zd1211rw?  thx
[23:59] <kroson> Scunizi: no, sorry, but what ppa did you use?
[23:59] <r007> someone know about program like that, for linux http://static.commentcamarche.net/en.kioskea.net/faq/images/8Q2jkGo3yUKrAVte-s-.png
[23:59] <blackshirt> r007, i think thats a great tool... I'm try searching for you
