[00:00] <Scunizi> kroson: ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu oneiric .. I'm still on 11.10
[00:00] <blackshirt> matt_9118, is that module available on repository?
[00:01] <bekks> blackshirt: No, since it has to be compiled.
[00:02] <blackshirt> bekks, is that module support for dkms?
[00:02] <r007> blackshirt, i'm few days in linux (ubuntu) and it's missing for me
[00:02] <blackshirt> r007,actually i'm new too in ubuntu
[00:02] <bekks> blackshirt: dkms has nothing to do with it.
[00:03] <blackshirt> bekks, i think like that too
[00:03] <xangua> Scunizi: you did remove the ppa using ppa-purge right, do you¿
[00:04] <pfifo> r007, I think I remember hearing about a voice control system for linux, something like that may be an alternative
[00:04] <bekks> blackshirt: Take a look here to get an impression for whats that module is used: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw
[00:05] <r007> pfifo, i want with clapping
[00:05] <blackshirt> bekks, i think there are some readme/install file contains instructions how to build the module
[00:05] <r007> 1 clap vol up
[00:05] <r007> 2 claps vol down
[00:05] <r007> 3 claps mute
[00:07] <Shinypaper> Hey guys, anyone got experience with printers on ubuntu?
[00:07] <pfifo> r007, something like that likely dosent exist yet
[00:07] <r007> you know about something that work with one clap?
[00:07] <bekks> !ask | Shinypaper
[00:07] <blackshirt> shinnypaper, what the printer are you using?
[00:07]  * jesseFromYVR peddles for AeroFS invite…
[00:08] <Shinypaper> I got a Kodak ESP 1.2 printer here that isn't working. Anyone know how to fix it?
[00:09] <blackshirt> shinnypaper, i have no experiences with that devices
[00:09] <doctorly> Hi, Im having troubles trying to install ubuntu on a new computer. The live cd boots, but after I click anything, it fails. If I use wubi, the installation will hang after I restart from windows. any help would be awesome.
[00:10] <pfifo> Jordan_U, would you recommend using 10.04 since I need an older kernel? Or should I compile a mainline kernel? This is for a livecd so I dont expect to do many upgrades or install lots of software.
[00:10] <Shinypaper> It's a JetDirect based network printer, should work as a generic JetDirect deivce but it freezes when sending a page to it.
[00:10] <Scunizi> doctorly: boot directly to the cd.. don't start it after windows is loaded..
[00:11] <Jordan_U> pfifo: What will this liveCD be used for? Why is overclocking so important for you?
[00:11] <doctorly> I did, I am talking about two seperate events. wubi, and also a live install, neither have worked.
[00:11] <r007> so to go back to windows vista?
[00:11] <Scunizi> doctorly: or.. if you're just checking it out.. load VirtualBox in windows and then install the .iso of the ubuntu cd in a virtual machine.
[00:11] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/
[00:11] <Jordan_U> pfifo: Also, it's possible that the module will build against a modern kernel.
[00:11] <blackshirt> doctorly, what the hardware are you using?
[00:12] <doctorly> do you want a specific list?
[00:12] <doctorly> of everything?
[00:12] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: thanks, I'll check that out.
[00:12] <doctorly> one moment
[00:12] <blackshirt> doctorly, specific list..and more if needed :d
[00:13] <zivester> where's the best place to place an additional $PATH ? /etc/environment, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc ?
[00:13] <Shinypaper> actually, I already tried this package tom. it adds some devices to the list of printers in cups, but mine isn't listed. I also tried to install it as a similar device but it still freezes during the print process.
[00:13] <jrib> zivester: ~/.profile
[00:14] <blackshirt> zivester, for specific user, place it on profile
[00:14] <Demon_Jester> hey guys I have a question. I am relatively new to ubuntu, and was wondering if I installed a .py program is there a way I can make it to where I type in the program have it execute without being in the directory of where it is?
[00:14] <pfifo> Jordan_U, well I use grub2's iso boot on my eeepc to save MASSIVE disk space, I like to customize the lubuntu or xubuntu livecd's to include a few extra things, and since I can easily include overclocking support I want it. My computer's battery only lasts about 10 minutes so power usage is of no concern... Also I tried to build aginst 3.2.0-23-generic but the build fails
[00:14] <zivester> ty jrib and blackshirt
[00:14] <blackshirt> zivester, for system wide, i think place it on environment
[00:15] <miraj> Demon_Jester , yes, just put the directory it's in in your "path" variable
[00:15] <Demon_Jester> how exactly would I do that, miraj?
[00:15] <miraj> Demon_Jester , you could try editing your "bashrc" file
[00:16] <Demon_Jester> ok thats the file I kept doing gedit bashcr
[00:16] <Demon_Jester> lol
[00:16] <Demon_Jester> thanks.
[00:16] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: how is the printer connected to your PC? usb? wireless? lan?
[00:17] <zivester> heh... ~/.profile already has adding $HOME/bin... I guess I just needed to log back in
[00:17] <jrib> Demon_Jester: where/how did you install it
[00:17] <jrib> zivester: yep
[00:17] <Demon_Jester> I made a custom directory in my /programs/file
[00:17] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: wireless.
[00:18] <Shinypaper> well, lan over wireless.
[00:18] <Demon_Jester> I just extract it and I was using the command, python file.py to execute it
[00:18] <jrib> Demon_Jester: you can either add that directory to your PATH (edit your ~/.profile and see the example for ~/bin) or create a symlink to that file inside a directory already in your PATH
[00:18] <bekks> jrib: zivester: No.
[00:19] <jrib> bekks: eh?
[00:19] <bekks> zivester: Open a terminal, and all you need to do is to source the ~/.profile again: ". ~/.profile"
[00:19] <bekks> No need for a logout.
[00:19] <doctorly> did you get that blackshirt
[00:19] <jrib> bekks: that would only affect the new terminal
[00:20] <jrib> zivester: by the way ~/bin needs to exist for it to be added to your PATH
[00:20] <bekks> jrib: An no existing terminal - and why not just continueing in the new terminal?
[00:21] <blackshirt> wait a minute
[00:21]  * pfifo begins counting to 60
[00:21] <jrib> bekks: this is a possibility sure.  Depends on what he wants to do.  For example, he may need the PATH to be changed in his gui environment or he may need to open many new terminals and does not want to have to keep sourcing ~/.profile :)
[00:24] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: have you added the printer to cups already, and if so, what is it called there / detected as?
[00:25] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: It wasn't detected as anything. Installed it as the Kodak ESP 3200 as that was the closest model listed.
[00:26] <tomreyn> does it say something othert than 1.2 on the device itself?
[00:28] <doctorly> oh wow
[00:29] <adoniscik> why does  cp --target-directory=~/Downloads filename give me a "no such file or directory" error?
[00:29] <adoniscik> the directory does exist..
[00:29] <miraj> adoniscik , "~" only exists as a cli translation, it's not really there
[00:30] <adoniscik> I thought so. what's the right way to use tilde?
[00:30] <adoniscik> $home?
[00:30] <bekks> adoniscik: /home/user/
[00:31] <Jordan_U> adoniscik: --target-directory="$HOME/Downloads"
[00:31] <doctorly> I tried both a live install and a wubi install, but both hung. Any help would be awesome:)
[00:31] <miraj> adoniscik, cp --target-directory=/home/yourusername/Downloads
[00:34] <Demon_Jester> I am still having trouble setting it up to where I don't need to be in the directory to execute a .py file
[00:34] <jrib> Demon_Jester: well what did you do?
[00:36] <adoniscik> good, problem solved. now the next question. I have a list of files generated from a pipe. I wanted to copy them using "long pipe | cp --target-directory=$HOME/Downloads" but the spaces in the file names seems to be causing a problem. What should I do?
[00:36] <Demon_Jester> I did quick google search towards bashrc and I did PATH=PATH$:/path/to/my/file.py then underneath it I put export PATH
[00:36] <bekks> Demon_Jester: Thats wrong.
[00:36] <jrib> adoniscik: what are you actually trying to do?  i.e. what is the big picture?
[00:36] <Demon_Jester> I figured. :/
[00:36] <bekks> Demon_Jester: PATH=$PATH:/new/path/
[00:36] <Demon_Jester> new path?
[00:36] <Demon_Jester> hmm hold on
[00:37] <jrib> Demon_Jester: open ~/.profile, read the example for ~/.bin, and use ~/.profile, not ~/.bashrc
[00:37] <adoniscik> copy a bunch of files selected for a particular attribute (zero length) to another directory
[00:37] <bekks> Demon_Jester: /the/incredible/long/path/to/your/specific/script/file.py
[00:37] <jrib> adoniscik: how are you selecting the files?
[00:37] <adoniscik>  ls -s ~ | grep '^\s*0\s.*' | sed 's/\s*0 //'
[00:37] <sam__> hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition
[00:38] <jrib> adoniscik: eww
[00:38] <bekks> adoniscik: Take a look at find and the options to select specific files.
[00:38] <sam__> and there is a grub  command line
[00:38] <bekks> adoniscik: You will end up in: find ... -exec cp -t $HOME/Downloads/ {} \;
[00:38] <sam__> please help me its makeing me nerves
[00:39] <adoniscik> okay I'll try and let you know how it goes.
[00:39] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: No, just Kodak ESP 1.2
[00:39] <sam__> hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition
[00:39] <Demon_Jester> jrib: If I opened the right one I am looking at what appears to be an if statement at the bottom of .profile
[00:39] <Demon_Jester> thats bin
[00:40] <sam__> please somebody tell me what to do I need my laptop to do my college assignment
[00:40] <jrib> Demon_Jester: yes, replicate that pattern for your new directory
[00:40] <miraj> sam__ , was that a windows error message?
[00:41] <sam__> no such partition miraj
[00:41] <sam__> grub rescue >
[00:41] <Demon_Jester> jrib: sorry I am asking so mnay question but what new directory and why?
[00:41] <sam__> and a blinking line
[00:41] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: you could check for the FCC ID, and look that up on the web. but really, do you rself a favor next time and before you buy new hardware, make sure the manufacturer cares about supporting Linux.
[00:41] <jrib> Demon_Jester: by "new directory", I mean the one with your python file -- the one you want to add to your PATH
[00:42] <sam__> no i dont think its for windows I guess grub is for linux isn't it?
[00:42] <miraj> sam__ , wish I could help, I've only got server 2008 on one of my harddrives. I've quit on windows
[00:42] <Scunizi> sam__: does ubuntu still boot?
[00:42] <sam__> no
[00:42] <Demon_Jester> ok so whats in the bracket I leave alone and underneath where it says PATH="$HOME/bin:$path" is what I change to put the directory of my .py
[00:43] <Demon_Jester> or vice versa?
[00:43] <sam__> ok thanks miraj anyway
[00:43] <Shinypaper> tonreyn: usually I do, but I didn't buy this. A friend bought it for his business without doing any research or checking with me.
[00:43] <Scunizi> sam__: sounds like you have a grub issue.. with that fixed windows will most likely come back up without a reinstall.
[00:43] <sam__> no scunizi ubuntu does not work either
[00:43] <Scunizi> !grub | sam__
[00:43] <jrib> Demon_Jester: you copy the stanza that you see there for "$HOME/bin" and change "$HOME/bin" to whatever it is your new directory is
[00:44] <Shinypaper> *And that buisness is based partially out of my home.
[00:44] <Demon_Jester> ok let me go do this real quick and let you know if I did this right.
[00:44] <sam__> so what should i do scunizi
[00:44] <sam__> ?
[00:45] <sam__> I even inserted win 7 recovery cd but didnot boot from there
[00:46] <tomreyn> Shinypapertry attaching it via usb, too, if you're lucky it's identified as working with a generic driver.
[00:46] <sam__> anybody please hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition
[00:47] <tomreyn> Shinypaper:  you can also inspect the lsusb -vv output then and that might help finding the right PPD
[00:47] <Demon_Jester> ok I put it in my profile but how would I execute the .py file as a command or ??
[00:47] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: okay I'll try this, but it needs to function as a network printer, so each workstation can print invoices for the buisness.
[00:47] <sam__> I realy need my laptop please if you know how i can solve this issue help me
[00:47] <sam__> hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition
[00:47] <Shinypaper> also, I was search for a PPD but couldn't find one, maybe that will help.
[00:47] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: just for better identification, temporarily.
[00:47] <bekks> sam__: What is "it"? Your Windows?
[00:47] <jrib> Demon_Jester: if you run « source ~/.profile » then ~/.profile will be read and your PATH should be updated for the shell you are in
[00:47] <miraj> sam__ , scunizi sent you this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[00:47] <Demon_Jester> kk
[00:48] <Demon_Jester> let me try that real quick.
[00:48] <sam__> its win7 with a dual boot
[00:48] <sam__> with ubuntu
[00:48] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: the driver i pointed you (tar.gz) has a bunch of PPDs in a subdirectory, if you're lucky one of them will work. i know you tried several already, but maybe not the right one.
[00:48] <bekks> jrib: After sourcing, you dont need to execute the .profile, since it isnt even executable by default.
[00:49] <sam__> but ubuntu does not start working
[00:49] <miraj> sam__ , scunizi sent you this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[00:50] <sam__> its just a black page with these words
[00:51] <sam__> ok I think i got it now . i will try it now with my live usb
[00:51] <sam__> thanks miraj and scunizi
[00:51] <Demon_Jester> hmm I think i updated it and when I go to type file.py it doesnt execute or how should I be doing it? ./file.py?
[00:52] <jrib> Demon_Jester: pastebin your ~/.profile
[00:52] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: Okay, thanks. Just had to move the printer to the computer. I'm trying that USB command now.
[00:54] <miraj> Demon_Jester , is the .py file set with it's "execute" bit on?
[00:54] <L3top> Demon_Jester: if you are in the directory which the file exists in, yes, you will have to execute by defining the dir as ./ (here)
[00:54] <Demon_Jester> im not sure do I need to use chmod on it? like I said I would have to go into the directory and type "python testfile.py" for it to execute
[00:55] <Demon_Jester> also pastebin.com/EfqqQFws
[00:55] <Shinypaper> tonreyn: output of the command is here ---> http://pastebin.com/LdTDqyXc
[00:55] <miraj> Demon_Jester, if you use "ls -l" it will tell if it is set as executable by including an "x"
[00:55] <Demon_Jester> also http://www.pastebin.com/EfqqQFws
[00:55] <Demon_Jester> errr
[00:55] <L3top> If you want it executable, as miraj eluded to, you will need to set chmod +x /path/to/file.py
[00:56] <Demon_Jester> also http://www.pastebin.com/EfqgQFws
[00:56] <Demon_Jester> sorry there is the correct link
[00:57] <adoniscik> I couldn't find a way to do what I want with find because I want take the uncorrupted files from another directory. could someone show me how to use find to find empty files in another directory and replace them from another?
[00:57] <jrib> adoniscik: did you get find to list the files you wanted first?
[00:58] <jrib> Demon_Jester: change the "~" to "$HOME"
[00:58] <adoniscik> yes but I can't get find to omit the path
[00:58] <Demon_Jester> ah ok
[00:58] <Demon_Jester> hold up
[00:58] <adoniscik> like so: find folder -size 0 -type f
[00:58] <jrib> Demon_Jester: you also need to make sure the file is executable as others said
[00:58] <jrib> adoniscik: now what's the issue?
[00:59] <Demon_Jester> I used the chmod command on it
[00:59] <Demon_Jester> +x is to make it executable correct?
[00:59] <adoniscik> this generates a list of files all right, but I only want the bare names without the path, so I can replace them with non-empty versions
[00:59] <adoniscik> these are basically files that are corrupt
[00:59] <adoniscik> that's why I thought I needed a pipe
[00:59] <jrib> adoniscik: use basename though there might me some find option to do it as well
[01:00] <Mike9863> #math
[01:00] <miraj> Demon_Jester, yeds "+x" means add the executable bit
[01:01] <Pholiage> yes i found that out myself lol
[01:01] <jrib> adoniscik: see the various possibilities -printf in find's man page if you don't want to use basename
[01:01] <Demon_Jester> still not working, i go to type just "testfile.py" and says unknown command
[01:01] <adoniscik> my previous pipe already extract the base names, but I couldn't feed it to cp
[01:01] <Pholiage> are you navigating to the actual file Demon_Jester?
[01:01] <jrib> Demon_Jester: did you do « source ~/.profile » again?
[01:01] <Demon_Jester> oh
[01:01] <Demon_Jester> right
[01:01] <Demon_Jester> hold up
[01:01] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: when you access the cups web interface and start a search, is anything detected?
[01:02] <sam__> miraj
[01:02] <sam__> still there?
[01:02] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: that's now that it's connected to your computer via USB
[01:02] <miraj> Demon_Jester, there is a workaround, create a shell script in your $HOME/bin directory, which has one command in it "python /directory/program.py"
[01:03] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: If not so, then try the following PPDs form the c2esp26.tar.gz archive available on sourceforge: Kodak_ESP_3, Kodak_ESP_32xx_Series, Kodak_Hero_3.1
[01:03] <Demon_Jester> i updated the profile and still no working, I will give the shell script a try
[01:03] <miraj> sam__ , yes?
[01:03] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: yes, it detects the printer correctly (kodak esp 1.2) but then prompts me to choose from a list, and there isn't any such device there. the same happens over the network.
[01:03] <Shinypaper> I'll try that ppd now,
[01:04] <sam__> I tried to do what that link said but It does't boot from my liveusb
[01:04] <tomreyn> Shinypaper: so try those three PPDs now
[01:04] <miraj> sam__ , didn't it boot from that when you installed ubuntu?
[01:04] <jrib> Demon_Jester: pastebin (1) contents of ~/.profile, (2) output of « echo $PATH », and (3) your attempt at executing the python file with output
[01:05] <sam__> I installed ubuntu from same liveusb
[01:05] <miraj> sam__ , then it should boot it now? unless something has changed
[01:06] <sam__> like what?
[01:06] <miraj> sam__  , bios settings? IDK
[01:06] <sam__> boot from usb is set
[01:07] <miraj> sam__ , what does it say when you try to boot the liveusb?
[01:07] <sam__> it does't make any difference it the same page partition does not exist
[01:08] <sam__> and grub rescue
[01:09] <miraj> sam__ , something is pretty wrong if the liveusb won't boot
[01:09] <sam__> oh  this time worked
[01:09] <sam__> thanks again
[01:09] <bristol> holas
[01:09] <sam__> I tried 3 times it didn't work but now:)
[01:09] <miraj> sam__ , my system is pretty undependable about booting any usb at all
[01:10] <iCarly> sam__: Just to get things straight: You installed ubuntu besides windows, You could access both!? Then it stopped working, and You end up with the grub prompt.
[01:10] <sam__> hmm what does it mean
[01:10] <sam__> ?
[01:10] <lib> anyone running LoL?
[01:11] <sam__> no iCarly I had ubuntu and win7 in dual boot I needed to reinstall win7 and it crashed with that error
[01:12] <sam__> iCarly and it seems i can solve the problem with this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[01:12] <iCarly> sam__: Ah, cool :-)
[01:13] <iCarly> sam__: It probably says something like "sudo update-grub" and the like...
[01:14] <sam__> hmm im on this page right no try ubuntu or install ubuntu there isn't any repaire option where is it?
[01:14] <Shinypaper> tomreyn: seems to be working with the hero 3.1 PPD over the network. thanks :D
[01:15] <iiulian> Hi, any other way to unzip a file other than using unzip? I have some archives which unzip fine in Windows but I get some errors in Ubuntu. Any idea?
[01:16] <blackshirt> iiulian, i think file -roller will handle correctly
[01:16] <Dr_willis> iiulian,  depends on the error i imagine.
[01:16] <blackshirt> that was archive manager
[01:16] <iiulian> Here is the errors: FactBackordersCorrections.csv:  mismatching "local" filename (DimGeography.csv),
[01:16] <iiulian>          continuing with "central" filename version
[01:16] <iiulian>   inflating: FactBackordersCorrections.csv
[01:16] <iiulian> file #2:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  9016
[01:16] <iiulian> file #3:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  101347
[01:16] <FloodBot1> iiulian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:16] <Dr_willis> iiulian,  ive used winzip and winrar with wine on windows for some archives that had silly options or other obscure flags/passwords
[01:17] <iCarly> sam__: I don't know, but my guess would be to run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal and watch the output carefully. If the output is okay (i.e. a windows system was recognized) I'd do a "sudo grub-install /dev/sda (If that's Your harddisk).
[01:17] <iiulian> Sorry for the flood!
[01:17] <freakman> does anyone know of a gui app that can search the content of pdf files?
[01:18] <iCarly> freakman: evince
[01:19] <iiulian> blackshirt, it looks like File Roller is just a GUI for several utilities
[01:20] <blackshirt> iiulian, you're right... Thats support some archive format
[01:21] <ElixirVitae> Hi!
[01:21] <freakman> iCarly: i need to search the content of multiple pdf files kind of like google desktop search
[01:21] <ElixirVitae> is there a difference between making swap partition as logical or primary?
[01:21] <freakman> should've been more clear
[01:22] <iCarly> freakman: Ah, okay, that wasn't quite clear :-)
[01:22] <ElixirVitae> Also, is there a speed difference when linux reaches data on ext4 and ntfs?
[01:22] <miraj> ElixirVitae , ext4 is faster than the linux ntfs driver
[01:23] <blackshirt> elixirvitae, i think yes... Ext4 more and better on linux
[01:23] <blackshirt> Ntfs was for windows
[01:24] <ElixirVitae> Gracie, now I need partition whole unallocated area as ext4
[01:24] <iCarly> sam__: Any success???
[01:25] <sam__> nope that one did not work and the web page i sent you does not work either
[01:25] <blackshirt> elixirvitae, exactly yes,if you use it on linux.... Windows was useless when access to ext4
[01:25] <administrator_> OH NO
[01:25] <sam__> sudo grub-install /dev/XXX
[01:26] <iCarly> sam__: What didn't work precisely?
[01:26] <sam__> says cannot find a device for/boot/grub is deve mounted?
[01:26] <sam__> this command didn't work sudo grub-install /dev/XXX
[01:26] <sam__> says cannot find a device for/boot/grub is deve mounted?
[01:27] <sam__> ubuntu 12.04
[01:27] <administrator_> SHIT
[01:27] <iCarly> sam__: What exactely did You enter? Surely not "/dev/XXX"...
[01:27] <blackshirt> administrator_, keep a polite guys...
[01:27] <L3top> these adjectives make it much easier for me to help you administrator_.
[01:28] <L3top> s/adjectives/explitives/
[01:28] <administrator_> I'M JAPANESE
[01:28] <AndChat|370944> lolly lolly lolly - get your adverbs here....
[01:28] <L3top> s/explitives/expletives/
[01:29] <sam__> sudo grub-install /dev/XXX  is the exact command i typed what do you mean iCarly
[01:29] <L3top> Congratulations. Do you have an issue or just a terrible English instructor?
[01:29] <Dr_Willis__> XXX is a 'example'
[01:29] <blackshirt> administrator_, actually that is not problem where do you come from.. This is internet world
[01:30] <XiaolinDraconis> the place where translators dont get paid 200 an hour
[01:30] <iCarly> sam__: The XXX is a placeholder for Your actual 1st harddrive which is very likely "sda".
[01:30] <sam__> em I don't how can i make sure ?
[01:31] <sam__> :)
[01:31] <iCarly> sam__: Yes, hehe, sure... moment....
[01:31] <sam__> you mean my ubuntu harddrive or windows?
[01:32] <sam__> I had 3 of them i guess when i installed ubuntu
[01:32] <hfic> ubunutu and windows are operating systems.
[01:32] <IdleOne> sam__: How many hard drives does this computer have?
[01:32] <iCarly> sam__: Any. Grub will be written to the MBR of the harddrive.
[01:32] <bazhang> hfic, yes. no need for the commentary.
[01:33] <hfic> bazhang: excuse me?
[01:33] <iCarly> sam__: "sudo fdisk -l", and tell me the very first entry.
[01:33] <sam__> one 640 gb hdd
[01:33] <bazhang> hfic, no need for the commentary. it just adds noise to a busy channel.
[01:33] <sam__> but 3 partition and one recovery
[01:34] <sam__> ok i will enter it right now
[01:34] <hfic> bazhang: I'm not sure what commentary your talking about. But I suggest re-reading and learning what your talking about
[01:35] <sam__> first one is sda1 which is hidden ntfs win re
[01:35] <sam__> but the extended oone is sda4
[01:35] <dewnix> sam__: you'd never install grub to sda1...only sda without the number.
[01:35] <IdleOne> hfic: What bazhang is talking about is that clearly sam__ is not 100% sure of what they are doing, you can gauge this from the responses. Although your comment was correct it was not helpful.
[01:35] <sam__> ok
[01:36] <L3top> Those would be partitions, not hard drives sam__... for the record.
[01:36] <dewnix> sam__: so if all your partitions are sda1, sda2, sda3 (and no sdb or sdc drives) then you'd replace the XXX with just "sda" no quotes
[01:37] <L3top> In hfic's defense, I believe he was attempting to elucidate the circumstance for the user, not create chatter... regardless of the efficacy of that attempt.
[01:37] <iCarly> sam__: Okay, fine. Those are the partitions on sda, the first (and only) harddrive. Into the MBR, the very first section of this harddrive, where the harddrive is told that it is a harddrive and what's on it Grub will be written via "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"
[01:37] <sam__> IdleOne . I did n;t understand what you mean which comment where .I commented on sth?
[01:38] <sam__> is this the command I need iCarly
[01:38] <sam__> sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[01:38] <IdleOne> sam__: yes.
[01:38] <L3top> yes sam__.
[01:39] <iCarly> sam__: I'd say yes. Any comments???
[01:40] <dewnix> the first time i messed up a grub install (actually i only thought i messed it up) i finally ditched windows and said who needs it anyway
[01:40] <sam__> could not find device for /boot: NOt found or not a block device
[01:40] <qingsong> 1
[01:41] <sam__> that the answer iCarly
[01:41] <iCarly> sam__: Ooops
[01:41] <sam__> :)
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> sam__, In that link you posted for reinstalling grub to the mbr is the bootrepair tool, that tool will generate a bootscript that would probably be our best way of helping you.
[01:42] <wilee-nilee> If you have not gotten grub to the mbr
[01:44] <iCarly> wilee-nilee: But... but... how could grub possibly be not installed to the MBR??? Said command always worked in my 15 years of linux experience... :-D
[01:44] <dewnix> sam__: just curious, but why didn't ubuntu install grub for you?
[01:45] <Dr_Willis__> ive seen 'bios av protection' block grub befor
[01:45] <sam__> ok i m downloading that one but if there is some other way tell me to repair my grub beside boot repair tell me
[01:45] <iCarly> dewnix: It did but sam reinstalled win...something.
[01:45] <Dr_Willis__> boot-repair works very well for me
[01:45] <dewnix> iCarly: ahhh
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> iCarly, If run from a chroot or the alternative or within the desktop yes, from a live cd no chroot no.
[01:46] <wilee-nilee> no sudo of course in a chroot
[01:46] <iCarly> sam__: Are You in a live system now???
[01:46] <sam__> ok what was the application for making a bootable usb in ubuntu?
[01:46] <dewnix> sam__: unetbootin?
[01:46] <sam__> Im in try ubuntu from live usb
[01:47] <sam__> what do you mean unetbootin?
[01:47] <pepperjack> sam__: dd?
[01:47]  * iCarly slaps her forehead
[01:47] <Dr_Willis__> usb disk creator
[01:48] <KAsp3rd> Evening y'all. Anyone mind taking a look here and proposing a resolution? http://pastebin.com/fgXUr0XK
[01:48] <L3top> sam__: *buntu distros have what is called the "Startup Disk Creator" however unetbootin takes a slightly different approach to achieve the same thing, and tends to be a bit more universal, when appropriate.
[01:48] <Dr_Willis__> pendrivelinux website has dozens of alternatives to unetbootin
[01:49] <tomreyn> sam /usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk
[01:49] <L3top> KAsp3rd: you will likely get a better response by giving an overview of the problem. I personally don't go chasing problems across links.
[01:49] <sam__> oh but its not installed in on my ubuntu
[01:49] <KAsp3rd> L3top: issue comipling kernel
[01:49] <L3top> Startup Disk Creator is
[01:49] <L3top> What kernel?
[01:49] <KAsp3rd> WARNING: drivers/staging/ipack/bridges/tpci200.o(.data+0x18): Section mismatch in reference from the variable tpci200_pci_drv to the variable .devinit.rodata:tpci200_idtable
[01:49] <KAsp3rd> L3top: 3.6-rc6
[01:50] <L3top> That is not supported here I am afraid KAsp3rd
[01:50] <L3top> Try ##linux
[01:50] <KAsp3rd> thanks
[01:50] <L3top> np.
[01:50] <iCarly> sam__: Sorry, I thought You somehow managed to get Your ubuntu on the harddrive booted. From a Live-CD the grub-install won't work, of course. My fault.
[01:51] <sam__> oh ok no prob :)
[01:51] <iCarly> Would it make sense, if someone would explain the chrooting thingy to sam__???
[01:52] <Salman> Hey can someone help me? VMware Player problems. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12253260#post12253260
[01:52] <L3top> yes iCarly. you can absolutely install grub via live disk when chrooting
[01:52] <Salman> iCarly lol
[01:53] <iCarly> I thought so, yes. But, guys, it's 4 am here... ;-)
[01:53] <ElixirVitae> is it normal that usr/bin/python uses too much internet
[01:53] <pepperjack> Salman: not entirely helpful but... my favorite solution to vmware problems is virtualbox
[01:53] <ElixirVitae> or does it mean some other programs are utilizing it
[01:53] <Salman> pepperjack: i need win98 so i can't use that
[01:54] <blackshirt> elixirvitae, you should look more detail
[01:54] <sam__> do i need to format my usb befor making a a bootrepair on it ? does it erase my usb date?
[01:54] <ElixirVitae> well, I am using nethogs, this is as much detail as I can get
[01:54] <tomreyn> Salman: you need ... what?!
[01:54] <ElixirVitae> I suppose it is deja dup that is using u/l
[01:55] <Salman> tomreyn: Windows 98
[01:55] <wilee-nilee> L3top, You want to help sam__ with a chroot, I was going to post a wiki link to chrooting but is has a nice code string for mounting rather then the old scool mounting, I do not want to confuse the user.
[01:55] <ElixirVitae> though I am curious as to why it says usr/bin/python in program name
[01:55] <wilee-nilee> it*
[01:55] <pepperjack> Salman: http://ved-antani.com/2011/10/vmplayer-not-compiling-for-latest-linux-kernel/   solution?
[01:56] <iCarly> sam__: Wait. Maybe a nice guy from this chat could go with You through the chroot thingy, an alternative way of repairing grub while You're in Your Live system...
[01:56] <tomreyn> Salman: do you grow dinausaurs in front garden, too?
[01:56] <tomreyn> *dinosaurs
[01:56] <Salman> tomreyn: not in the mood for trolling
[01:56] <sam__> ok i realy appriciate it because i don't like to make another live usb
[01:56] <L3top> sure wilee-nilee. sam__ we are dealing with sda, I gathered. What partition is the install on?
[01:57] <wilee-nilee> L3top, cool. ;)
[01:57] <iCarly> L3top, wilee-nilee? Take over!
[01:57] <sam__> sda4 is extended partition for me
[01:57] <sam__> so i guess ubuntu is installed there
[01:58] <tomreyn> Salman: i'm just wondering what you need it for. and besides, it should (haven't tried) work fine on virtualbox, either directly, or by means of running the application you needs there in compatibility mode on a supported version of this OS.
[01:58] <Salman> tomreyn: vbox doesn't natively support win98 so i will be stuck with a slow peice of junk
[01:59] <sam__> L3top sda4 is extended so i guess ubuntu is installed there
[01:59] <L3top> sam__: from live disk can you please give me a pastebin of: sudo fdisk -l    from the live disk please?
[01:59] <wilee-nilee> iCarly, It seems L3top has it under control, yours was an easy mistake, I have done it a many of times, it can be difficult to get all the info, and people start to pile on helping. ;)
[02:00] <sam__> ok i dont know what is pastebin?
[02:00] <tomreyn> Salman: just choose the Other -> DOS profile
[02:00] <L3top> !pastebin | sam__
[02:00] <tomreyn> Salman: i don't think it would be any slower than on vmware. plus you get a chance to run free software.
[02:01] <Salman> tomreyn: Virtualbox has no additions for that so forget it
[02:01] <Salman> pepperjack: not working :( keep getting fail errors

[02:05] <iCarly> ...but expectable...
[02:05]  * L3top understands... assumed it was from ubottu without a !.
[02:07] <maheanuu> I need some help, I have 2 problems and believe that they both are related.  I installed VLC Media Player and now everthing I try to download is being placed on VLc's playlist and not being downloaded?  Also, all of my (and friends) USB pendrives and external hard drives that are also USB are Read Only?????  I am running Utuntu 12.04 and can't seem to find any way to rix/repair either????
[02:11] <iCarly> maheannu: Downloaded which way? Via Firefox?
[02:11] <L3top> maheanuu:  cat /proc/mounts | head -1 | grep 'rw'
[02:11] <L3top> does that produce output?
[02:11] <L3top> actually... just paste the output of  cat /proc/mounts | head -1
[02:14] <Socket-> I know this isnt quite an ubuntu question, but Im running mint and trying to update from 12 to 13 and reciving errors.  here is my sources.list and messages I recieve: https://gist.github.com/3764864
[02:15] <sam___> sorry L3top but that link didn't work i just uploaded to my mediafire
[02:15] <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?
[02:16] <L3top> !mint | Socket-
[02:16] <sam___> still there l3top
[02:16] <sam___> ?
[02:16] <L3top> Still here.
[02:16] <sam___> http://www.mediafire.com/?iz1iaiv4abome9m
[02:16] <THE_GFR|WORK> what?
[02:16] <THE_GFR|WORK> does anyone have a clue?
[02:16] <sam___> i pasted the fdisk result in mediafire

[02:17]  * THE_GFR|WORK looks right at L3top directly and glares
[02:17] <THE_GFR|WORK> glary is your friend
[02:18] <L3top> sam__: it doesnt like my browser and I am not switching. pastebin.com works. pastie.org works. pastebin.ca works... there are a lot of options.
[02:18] <iCarly> sam__: Yup, ubuntu is on sda4
[02:18] <maheanuu> L3top, Do I enter it like it is?
[02:19] <sam___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219767/plain/
[02:19] <iCarly> L3top: sda1-3 NTFS, sda4 linux, sda5 swap. That's it.
[02:19] <sam___> it didn;t work i don't know why
[02:19] <L3top> THE_GFR|WORK: I am helping several people at the moment. Bugging that an entire 30 seconds had gone by and your issue was not addressed does not really rank highly in my entitlement barrel. Stare all you like.
[02:19] <L3top> thank you iCarly.
[02:19] <rypervenche> Socket-: Check PM.
[02:20] <iCarly> L3top: WAIT!
[02:20]  * L3top waits.
[02:20] <iCarly> L3top: There seems to be no linux partition... *scratches her head
[02:21]  * L3top wants a pastebin.
[02:21] <wilee-nilee> sam___, Did you install ubuntu from windows?
[02:22] <L3top> sam__: sudo apt-get install pastebinit      sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[02:22] <sam___> nope an independent ubuntu dual boot
[02:22] <L3top> Good q wilee-nilee... sam__ was this a wubi install
[02:22] <L3top> ok.
[02:22] <wilee-nilee> sam__, cool follopw L3top I just happened to look at the channel.
[02:22] <wilee-nilee> follow*
[02:23] <sam___> em no i made a live usb and its not installed on windows its on different partion and windows can not uninstall ubuntu
[02:23] <iCarly> L3top: http://nopaste.info/4f77303e04.html
[02:24] <L3top> ok sam__... lets assume that sda4 is correct.  If it isn't, it will just fail.          mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
[02:24] <L3top> that is odd. I do not expect that to work in that case.
[02:25] <L3top> sorry sam... you will need to prepend that with sudo... so       sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
[02:25] <iCarly> Me neither. There is NOTHING between begin of the extended partition and swap.
[02:26] <sam___> sudo added but failed to mount invalid argument
[02:26] <sam___> The device '/dev/sda4' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
[02:26] <sam___> ce '/dev/sda4' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
[02:27] <L3top> It will not be NTFS... unless... you have done something very screwy. Let's back up a minute...
[02:29] <L3top> What are the chances you installed linux on an NTFS partition?
[02:29] <L3top> /dev/sda3 I would guess.
[02:29] <sam___> cmon i didn't scew my laptop i just tried to reinstall my windows . I have done this 100 times before (without having ubuntu though)
[02:29] <sam___> these commands wont erase my recovery partition right?
[02:29] <adoniscik> is it possible to combine the printf and exec parameters of find?
[02:30] <L3top> sam__: its not likely hosed, as such... just... very badly setup to begin with.
[02:30] <iCarly> L3top, sam__: There seemes to be unused space between the beginning of the extended partition (1040547838) and the swap partition herein (1238355968). Am I right?
[02:30] <L3top> sam__: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[02:31] <L3top> does ls /mnt | grep 'bin'   return a result
[02:31] <sam___> i have 6 gb swap icarly
[02:32] <sam___> em L3top what is my new command please
[02:32] <sam___> ?
[02:32] <L3top> sam__: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[02:32] <L3top> once that is done,   ls /mnt | grep 'bin'
[02:33] <iCarly> sam__: Yes, I see. It just looks like there's nothing which could use it, i.e. no ubuntu... :-|
[02:34] <lib> anyone know where i can find the xfce icon thats on the start menu?
[02:34] <L3top> so you mounted /dev/sda3 sam__?
[02:34] <L3top> what does ls /mnt  look like? Windowsy?
[02:35] <sam___> same error
[02:35] <sam___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219785/plain/
[02:36] <iCarly> L3top: Does a Live CD like NTFS?
[02:36] <L3top> /dev/sda3        31664128  1040545791  504440832    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT          that should not complain.... and this only assumes that you have installed linux on ntfs...
[02:36] <L3top> iCarly: It will mount it no problem... unless it is corrupt... and it doesnt fix ntfs very well...
[02:36] <iCarly> L3top: Okay, thanks :-)
[02:37] <sam___> L3top and iCarly http://nopaste.info/0c5410ba8c.html
[02:38] <L3top> that is a very different error
[02:38] <iCarly> L3top, sam__: My theory is that there is no ubuntu existent on Your harddrive. At least not anymore. Sadly.
[02:38] <L3top> pastebin the output of mount
[02:38] <sam___> oh i didn't notice
[02:38] <sam___> oh so my files are gone too or just systems files
[02:39] <L3top> Lemme see mount first
[02:39] <animeking> hey, anyone here have issues with their wireless never connecting at all with the ath9k drivers? I use the DWA-552 Xtreme PCI adapter :/
[02:40] <animeking> I type in the password correctly but it never lets me connect
[02:41] <sam___> L3top oh so my files are gone too or just systems files
[02:41] <iCarly> sam__: You installed ubuntu in just one partition, I guess (/)?
[02:42] <L3top> sam___: I dont know that anything is gone.
[02:42] <jagginess> sam___, can you do fdisk -l <enter> ? (btw maybe dbus already has it mounted)
[02:42] <sam___> i used this symbol / somewhere although i didn't know what it means
[02:42] <L3top> sam___: You may have just clicked on the drive in nautilus or something and it is already mounted
[02:43] <jagginess> sam___, you shouldnt be toying with console, if you havent studied the basics
[02:43] <L3top> and you just (very wrongly) installed linux on an ntfs drive
[02:43] <L3top> I need the output of mount
[02:43] <jagginess> sam___, "/" means at the first node of the harddrive
[02:43] <jagginess> sam___, filesytem
[02:43] <iCarly> jagginess: sam___'s partitions: http://nopaste.info/4f77303e04.html
[02:44] <L3top> sam___:   give me the output of: mount
[02:44] <L3top> sam___: please
[02:45] <sam___> ok wait
[02:45] <sam___> just a minut
[02:45] <jagginess> sam___, you should get help from someone near ya..
[02:45] <sam___> well it was in installation guide
[02:45] <jagginess> sam___, you're really too new to be doing things in console, you dont' even know what "/" means.. (this is a path separator and starting point for any running Linux filesystem)
[02:46] <iCarly> jagginess!?
[02:46] <jagginess> sam___, you're welcome to ask starting beginner's help on #linux.. or try to stick for desktop for the time being.. because it sounds like you havent even backed up your data
[02:47] <jagginess> "<sam___> i used this symbol / somewhere although i didn't know what it means"
[02:47] <sam___> m which mount l3top
[02:47] <sam___> I m searching for a command in chat lines nothing found
[02:47] <[2]red> can anyone send me or tell me where i can find an original interfaces file I was messing around with network settings and now not working and want to go back
[02:48] <[2]red> I should have saved the original but didnt
[02:48] <L3top> sam___: I want the output OF mount. If you are in the live disk, and type mount, it should produce output. I want that in a pastebin.
[02:48] <jagginess> sam___, you should check out linux under vmware or virtual box on top of windows.. that way you cant destroy any existing windows data-- when you're well acquainted with linux after sometime, then maybe you'd like to try a native install of it
[02:48] <natw1ck> there is a way to set proxychains+tor to work with xchat?
[02:49] <FeatherySquid> ahoy
[02:49] <iCarly> sam___: L3top meant the output of "mount" in Your terminal/console
[02:49] <sam___> http://nopaste.info/614ce784f4.html
[02:49] <jagginess> [2]red, the default is networkmanager over ifdownup script.. however it's possible to setup networkmanager to allow ifdownup to customize interfaces
[02:50] <sam___> ok thanks
[02:50] <iCarly> sam___: Okay :-)
[02:50] <jagginess> [2]red, the traditional interfaces file is called by ifdownup scripts
[02:50] <L3top> sam___: umount -lf /dev/sda3
[02:51] <L3top> sam___: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[02:51] <L3top> ls /mnt | grep "bin"
[02:51] <L3top> crud
[02:51] <[2]red> i edited the interfaces file
[02:52] <sam___> no result
[02:52] <L3top> sam___: sudo umount -lf /dev/sda3
[02:52] <sam___> http://nopaste.info/b6041ed783.html
[02:52] <L3top> sam___: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mt
[02:52] <sam___> i already did sudo
[02:52] <L3top> ok
[02:52] <L3top> ls /mnt       does it look windowsy?
[02:53] <sam___> fuse: failed to access mountpoint /mt: No such file or directory
[02:53] <iCarly> sam___: "umount" command doesn't give a feedback, means: okay :-)
[02:53] <L3top> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[02:53] <sam___> oh :) ok
[02:53] <L3top> ls /mnt
[02:53] <jagginess> sam___, you're too at this stuff.. what's your objective for mounting ntfs filesystems if you only have a linux swap partition on your drive?
[02:53] <L3top> do you see /bin ?
[02:53] <[2]red> jagginess I am missing the bit before iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:54] <[2]red> jagginess, I am missing the bit before iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:54] <jagginess> [2]red, read what i first told you.
[02:54] <sam___> iCarly __ where do you guys learn these things??!!!
[02:54] <jagginess> sam___, wikipedia
[02:54] <sam___> How?
[02:54] <jagginess> sam___, google "linux site:wikipedia.org"
[02:54] <iCarly> sam___: Years of trial and error ;-)
[02:54] <L3top> jagginess: It appears as though he originally installed ubuntu on an ntfs partition, he then ran fixmbr or something crushing grub... we are just trying to find his install so as to reinstall/update grub2
[02:55] <cptmorgan> anyone know what provides the binary "tip" in ubuntu for serial connections?
[02:55] <jagginess> L3top, there's no linux partitions listed of type 83.. only a swap, and the rest ntfs
[02:55] <sam___> so thats what i m doing. :) perhaps 2 or 3 year later.
[02:55] <iCarly> We know!
[02:55] <L3top> jagginess: It appears as though he originally installed ubuntu on an ntfs partition
[02:56] <blackshirt> ah,
[02:56] <jagginess> L3top, you mean he's using wubi?
[02:56] <sam___> mm l3top Im quite sure that i installed it in ex4
[02:56] <L3top> Hard to tell... not getting a lot of feedback. It is my best guess.
[02:56] <iCarly> "We know!" was meant for jagginess...
[02:56] <jagginess> sam___, what "ubuntu" installer did you run? wubi?
[02:56] <L3top> sam___:  if that is the case... then it is definitely gone.
[02:56] <jagginess> L3top, if what's the case?
[02:57] <L3top> If he installed on ext4
[02:57] <L3top> cause he doesn't have one.
[02:57] <jagginess> L3top, no.. i'm asking if he used wubi.. that would be a loopback file on ntfs
[02:57] <L3top> He did not jagginess.
[02:57] <jagginess> L3top, and by default it's ext3 within the loopback..
[02:57] <sam___> i made that partion why should i install in ntfs linux partion is ext4 is't it . ex4 is recomended
[02:57] <sam___> i guess
[02:57] <jagginess> i mean /ext4/ext3/ within the loopback
[02:57] <iCarly> The case of the lonely swap partition...
[02:58] <jagginess> L3top, you sure he's not using wubi?
[02:58] <jagginess> sam___, if you show me your download link of ubuntu, then i can tell if it's wubi..
[02:58] <sam___> i have a wubi file in my live usb but my ubuntu is completely independent
[02:58] <jagginess> sam
[02:58] <jagginess> ok.. i guess he installed it from his usb drive
[02:58] <iCarly> Does wubi create an independent swap partion, jagginess?
[02:58] <jagginess> (or if he did install at one point)
[02:59] <iCarly> *partition
[02:59] <sam___> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[03:00] <jagginess> sam___, when you installed ubuntu, did you choose the 'Windows installer'? i'm guessing maybe yes or no.. so far it doesnt sound clear..
[03:00] <kyubutsu> yah, is sam___ used the desktop burn and did not specify dual boot on install, his windows is gone
[03:00] <sam___> I can not uninstall ubuntu from windows jagginess
[03:00] <ramprasadgk> WIRELESS
[03:00] <ramprasadgk> i have a terrible time installing wireles on my laptop
[03:00]  * jagginess feels helpless
[03:01] <L3top> You don't uninstall ubuntu... or windows for that matter.
[03:01] <wilee-nilee> sam___, Are you on the live ubuntu cd?
[03:01] <L3top> You can break them any number of ways
[03:01] <jagginess> sam___, you need help. Try out vmware/virtual box on windows.. forget trying to install linux natively for the time being..
[03:01] <sam___> live ubuntu usb
[03:01] <L3top> the best way to break windows being use :P
[03:02] <wilee-nilee> sam___, Take a screen shot of gparted and there is a place to post it called imagebin
[03:02] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin
[03:02] <sam___> hmm so my recovery partion is gone too ?
[03:02] <tester> yo
[03:02]  * jagginess considers sam___ trolling at this point.. no progress at all whatsoever..
[03:02] <tester> wut up fellows
[03:02] <sam___> image from where wilee nilee?
[03:03] <Smackbook> i'm tying to install compat-wireless to fix my wifi drivers and when I do make i get this http://pastebin.com/ffKHfMfj can anyone tell me what this means?
[03:03] <nydel> if you're not using unity, what env's do you need to change to ensure that unity-supporting applications don't try a unity menubar?
[03:04] <wilee-nilee> sam___, IF this helps the others you would take a screen shot which is in the menu, or using the prtsc key of the gparted partitioner in ubuntu then post that image to image bin.
[03:04] <sam___> and i cannot boot from hard drive to reinstall windows why??????????????????
[03:04] <L3top> You do not have a linux or working windows install
[03:04] <L3top> it would appear
[03:05] <Dr_Willis__> ive seen recovery partitions needed to be made bootable or other tweaks to get them to actually boot.
[03:07] <Dr0p3D> Could anyone help me with this problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ <--- i dropped the problem into pastebin from ubuntu. and also i've gotten the issue with needing to replace my sources.list with a new sources.list for ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop 64 bit.
[03:08] <L3top> Can you give an overview of the problem Dr0p3D
[03:08] <Dr0p3D> i think i did this in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ ???
[03:08] <DarthExpeditor> Is there an easy way to get my workstation to detect my joystick without a reboot?
[03:09] <sam___> http://imagebin.org/229334
[03:09] <Dr0p3D> i tried to install the ubuntu tweak and update the apt-get and recieved this issue.
[03:09] <Dr0p3D> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/
[03:09] <L3top> I am not clicking links to see if it is a problem I am apt to address. Most wont. You would serve yourself a lot better giving a brief overview of the problem Dr0p3D
[03:09] <sam___> willee nilee http://imagebin.org/229334
[03:10] <Dr0p3D> ok and this link is involved with ubuntu.com them selves its their own pastebin. and instead of flooding this channel i've posted it into a pastebin from ubuntu.com
[03:10] <Dr_Willis__> why would yoiu need to replces your soures,list
[03:10] <Dr0p3D> so why cant you use that link?
[03:10] <sam___> any comment
[03:10] <sam___> ?
[03:10] <Dr0p3D> because i've edited it out and some how messed it up.
[03:10] <Dr0p3D> i believe..
[03:11] <L3top> because I have a sinus infection... and I dont want to do work to help you.
[03:11] <sam___> is my recovery partion gone

[03:11] <FloodBot1> sam___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:11] <L3top> tell me briefly, what your issue is.
[03:11] <Dr_Willis__> i do belive the askubuntu.com site has  examples of original sources.lists
[03:11] <rdf> Greetings.
[03:11] <rdf> I've got a small problem I hope I can get help with.
[03:11] <Dr_Willis__> sam___:  boot a live cd and see if you can see it.

[03:11] <Dr0p3D> it says dont flood use paste bin.

[03:12] <iCarly> Dr_Willis__: sam___ is using a Live CD.
[03:12] <sam___> yeah i can but i cant boot from there Dr willis
[03:12] <rdf> I manually have to set the kernel and initrd with UUID's
[03:12] <Dr0p3D> and if i do that its going to show you i am flooding this channel ubottu..
[03:12] <rdf> Erealz, Open Tracker?

[03:13] <hashem> How does one fix overscan with an intel hd3000 chip :( I can't figure it out
[03:13] <L3top> And done. I am not going to fight you to help me help you. I am not clicking links to track down whether or not I can be of service.
[03:13] <Dr0p3D> l3top... i think i'll just wait for someone to reply in the forums hence you cant seem to understand pastebin urls too well... for christ sakes! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/
[03:13] <Erealz> rdf neverherd of it let google that
[03:13] <sam___> is there anything else i can do i can log off from chat now?
[03:13] <L3top> great... good luck
[03:13] <Dr0p3D> its one url and it shows everything you need to know L3top about the specific issue!
[03:13] <Dr0p3D> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/
[03:13] <Dr0p3D> its all pasted right into the pastebin that ubuntu supplies!
[03:13] <mneptok> Dr0p3D: be patient. and don't insult people.
[03:13] <iCarly> sam___: There seems to be no functional ubuntu on Your harddrive, sorry. Just windows, hopefully functional. But grub is still in the mbr...
[03:14] <Dr0p3D> mneptok, not insulting people they asked for an overview and i've given that overview
[03:14] <jagginess> hashem, you should be using the latest of things, X11 and kernel.. the X11 by default understands the 'intel' driver
[03:14] <Erealz> http://www.opentracker.net//?
[03:14] <Dr0p3D> to not want to click on the specific url is a lame reason.
[03:14] <Dr0p3D> which is some sort of way to show an overview...
[03:14] <Erealz> that not a torrent server
[03:14] <sam___> win does not work and i cant install it again installation page does not pop up anymore
[03:14] <sam___> :(
[03:15] <hashem> jagginess, I'm on 12.04, all up to date. It outputs to the TV, but it just cuts 20px from all the edges
[03:15] <ramprasadgk> http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ
[03:15] <jagginess> sam___, simply put. backup your data and reinstall from scratch. you've been complaining for so long your windows doesn't work. we get it. time to do something more constructive..
[03:15] <PHA|\|T0M> hillshum im attempting to take an ubuntu server installation and turn it into a bootable ISO, i use mkisofs with isolinux, the iso builds but on boot the kernel stops at "rootfs image is not initramfs (no cpio magic)" any ideas what causes this (i think its a kernel issue as isolinux has attempted to bootstrap off to the kernel at this point)
[03:15] <L3top> Dr0p3D: people drop a lot of links with miles of text. I do not need to explain myself to you. You are combative with people who would be happy to help you... so be it... as I said... Im done.
[03:15] <Dr0p3D> ramprasadgk, i dont know if you want to use pastebin my lord these people here really compalain about hitting links.
[03:15] <L3top> exactly Dr0p3D. They drop links all day long. You chase em down.
[03:16] <rdf> anyone know how to fix grub2?
[03:16] <ramprasadgk> hmm
[03:16] <Erealz> torrent server anyone i like torrentflux but as far as i can see the project is dead
[03:16] <jagginess> hashem, that doesnt sound good.. is it just the font that appears too large or does it include desktop space?
[03:16] <sam___> jagg your sentence is really bugging me.
[03:16] <ramprasadgk> patebin is pretty neat
[03:16] <Dr0p3D> L3top, then dont worry about it let someone else click the link let someone else try to help you refuse to hit one url and see a one paragraph page of text to show you my problem out front instead of me telling you in two words what my issue is which i have allready done a million times.
[03:16] <jagginess> !ops sam___ trolling
[03:16] <Erealz> keep in mind no gui this is on ubuntu server
[03:16] <Dr0p3D> again Sources.List is my main issue
[03:16] <L3top> I have certain skills in certain areas. I am not reading them all to figure out if I can help you. Just give a brief synopsis of the problem... and if it is something I am good at... i will click the link. I don't owe you anything.
[03:16] <Dr0p3D> period
[03:16] <Dr0p3D> i've said that a trillion times in here.
[03:16] <ramprasadgk> http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ
[03:17] <rdf> Erealz, there's two parts... a tracker, and an index site.  Open Tracker solves the Tracker part... unless you'll use magnet links.  The index part, I have no clue.
[03:17] <DarkAceLaptop> ubuntu doesn't notice my USB 1TB HD
[03:17] <Dr0p3D> sources.list sources.list <--- hello! how many more times do i have to give you a small overview and here is its output!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/
[03:17] <mneptok> !patience > Dr0p3D
[03:18] <Erealz> looking for allin one
[03:18] <Erealz> again torrent flux looks good but the project is dead
[03:18] <mneptok> Dr0p3D: your monologue has become tiresome. ask every 10 minutes or so, include the URL and see who answers. stop repeating every 30 seconds.
[03:18] <L3top> I already explained Dr0p3D. You are unpleasant and I have no impetus to help you. I no longer care what your issue is. This discussion serves only to prevent others blindly dropping links from following in your footsteps. As I said... good luck.
[03:18] <mneptok> L3top: let it go.
[03:18] <jrib> Dr0p3D: stop repeating please.  It's helpful to describe your issue succinctly and then include the link at the end.  That way people that have no idea about certain areas don't have to go chase down links to discover they can't help.  Something like "I'm receiving apt-get errors, here they are: ..." would be great.  Now let's all get back to support please :)
[03:18] <DarkAceLaptop> ubuntu doesn't notice my USB 1TB HD
[03:19] <L3top> sorry mneptok. As I said... I have a sinus infection. It is making me irritable. You are correct.
[03:19] <RFleming> Greetings!
[03:19] <mneptok> Dr0p3D: i appreciate being asked before getting PMs
[03:19] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, maybe it's not ubuntu.. but so many things can cause this
[03:19] <RFleming> Dr0p3D, where's your actual sources.list file?
[03:20] <DarkAceLaptop> jagginess, well Windows doesn't see it either
[03:20] <Dr0p3D> rfleming /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:20] <jrib> RFleming: duh!
[03:20] <L3top> DarkAceLaptop: I would check your bios settings... SATA mode specifically.
[03:20] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, maybe it's defected ? .. did you try to change the cable, did the usb box come with the drive?
[03:21]  * RFleming *facepalm*
[03:21] <jagginess> L3top, it's a usb drive
[03:21] <L3top> sorry... missed that...
[03:22] <DarkAceLaptop> jagginess, I'll try that, might take me a bit to find another cable
[03:22] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, if you bought the drive separately from the usbbox.. you have to make sure the usbbox can support that drive..
[03:22] <DarkAceLaptop> USB3 or something, the cable looks different
[03:22] <Dr0p3D> RFleming, .... i replied to you with /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:22] <RFleming> Dr0p3D, Did you paste your sources.list file?  Can we see that?
[03:22] <jrib> Dr0p3D: you should pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list as well as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[03:22] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, the box is usb3? so the computer usb port should be usb3 too
[03:22] <RFleming> ok, going to see if I fixed grub.
[03:23] <Dr0p3D> i sure can but i will also paste you another link to a pastebin that shows the direct problem now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/
[03:23] <DarkAceLaptop> usbbox?
[03:23] <Dr0p3D> let me grab you a copy of my other stuf jrib and rfleming that your asking for.
[03:23] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, if either usb port (box or computer), is actually usb2.. you'll have to see if the usbbox does usb2
[03:23] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, ..
[03:24] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, so far you never answered my question.. did you buy the drive separately from the usb box?
[03:24] <jagginess> (sounds like you probably didnt)
[03:24] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, as i said it can be many things.. some usb kits don't come with a drive.
[03:25] <DarkAceLaptop> I don't know, it's not my drive
[03:25] <DarkAceLaptop> I'm trying to fix it for my sister who already went to bed
[03:26] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, sounds like she dropped it :)
[03:26] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, clunked!!
[03:27] <DarkAceLaptop> probably :P
[03:28] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, if you break the heads of the drive, there are restoring services that charge a couple hundred dollars -- it's not impossible, just $$ expensive.. (hence why i use raid and networking only)
[03:28] <Dr0p3D> jrib,  here is what your requesting.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219832/
[03:28] <Dr0p3D> both lists..
[03:28] <RFleming> Nope
[03:28] <Dr0p3D> RFleming, .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219832/ here is what you and jrib requested
[03:29] <DarkAceLaptop> jagginess, no problem, she said it was nothing too important on it
[03:29] <DarkAceLaptop> which is probably why she let me try to fix it :p
[03:29] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, 1 tb is heck of alot you can store on it :)
[03:29] <jrib> Dr0p3D: well you didn't paste the contents of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but you should start by removing the duplicates of medibuntu (you have medibuntu already in /etc/apt/sources.list and you seem to have it again in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list)
[03:31] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, just by chance.. it's just possible, the usb box electronics is bad, but not the harddrive inside itself..
[03:31] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, you'd probably like to look at this possiblity
[03:31]  * RFleming wishes he didn't have to manually enter in grub2 kernel and initrd settings every single time he boots.
[03:32] <RFleming> I'm starting to memorize my root's UUID! :(
[03:32] <DarkAceLaptop> jagginess, well the light hasn't turned on since I got it
[03:32]  * jrib wonders why RFleming would want to do such a thing
[03:32] <jagginess> DarkAceLaptop, doesnt mean the drive inside is bad.. These usb boxes are often contain pluggable sata drives
[03:32] <RFleming> jrib, I don't!   :)
[03:32] <Smackbook> what does it mean when a kernel has "pae" after it?
[03:32] <Dr0p3D> ok i got a whole new issue now that you've successfully picked my eye about what was wrong... RFleming
[03:32] <Dr0p3D> ok now thats fixed no problems with sources.list
[03:32] <Dr0p3D> but now i have smaller issues..
[03:33] <Dr0p3D> dependencies on ubuntu-tweak
[03:33] <RFleming> Dr0p3D, install them
[03:33] <jrib> RFleming: are you fixing it or do you need help?
[03:33] <RFleming> jrib, help would be nice about now. :)

[03:35] <RFleming> jrib, first off, it's grub2... so the config makes no sense to me.  I installed boot-repair and it says everything is fine.

[03:38] <RFleming> jrib, a bajillion times :)
[03:38] <Dr0p3D> RFleming, i should run the apt-get dist-upgrade?

[03:38] <jrib> RFleming: since rebooting?
[03:38] <RFleming> Dr0p3D, what jrib said

[03:40] <RFleming> jrib, is this a quantal problem or a grub problem? :)
[03:40] <Dr0p3D> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219857/ after fallowing your contect earlier of doing the sudo apt-get update and then running sudo apt-cache policy ...
[03:41] <RFleming> jrib, and #ubuntu+1 is dead
[03:41] <jrib> RFleming: that's the proper channel
[03:42]  * RFleming sighs dramatically.
[03:43] <Dr0p3D> i hope i gave you what you requested jrib
[03:43] <jrib> Dr0p3D: just copy and paste the command I ask you about
[03:44] <jrib> Dr0p3D: pastebin output of « apt-cache policy ubuntu-tweak python-lxml python-compizconfig gir1.2-unique-3.0 »
[03:44] <wilee-nilee> RFleming, Is this a quantal install?
[03:44] <lib> where is the trash can located?
[03:45] <RFleming> wilee-nilee, yes it is :)
[03:45] <Dr0p3D> sorry jrib didnt notice i'm stupid once more ... but this time i believe i got it right.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219862/
[03:47] <jrib> Dr0p3D: umm, did you delete the main repository from your sources.list?
[03:47] <Dr0p3D> im not sure but it could have happened yes.
[03:48] <wilee-nilee> RFleming, Ah we can't officially help you on this channel, I would post a thread on the ubuntu forums with the latest bootscript, the people including the designer of the bootrepair app that are the best at this are there.
[03:48] <ramprasadgk> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Copying
[03:48] <Dr0p3D> as stupid mistakes of maintaining such resources i think i possibly deleted the main repository.
[03:48] <ramprasadgk> sorry http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ
[03:48] <kritika> hello all . please help me with this problem. i have ASUS K53U laptop and ubuntu 12.04 installed . in ubuntu 12.04 inbuilt SD card reader is not working, its not detecting the 2GB SD card and same works in win7 same laptop
[03:50] <wilee-nilee> RFleming, I think your problem is remnants of a UEFI setup I see this in the script.
[03:50] <wilee-nilee> just a guess though.
[03:50] <RFleming> wilee-nilee, I don't have UEFI.
[03:51] <wilee-nilee> RFleming, I know but your bootscript dies show there are remnants, insmod efi_gop   insmod efi_uga
[03:52] <wilee-nilee> does*
[03:53] <wilee-nilee> Once again I'm somewhat guessing if this is the problem, I know this from what I learned with working with the folks on the ubuntu forums. RFleming
[03:54] <kritika> somebody please help me ....
[03:54] <RFleming> wilee-nilee, Will keep that in mind... BTW, been pinging you in #ubuntu+1 :)
[03:54] <ubuntuNoob> Hi is there anyone on that has experience dual booting win 7 and ubuntu on uefi??

[03:56] <ubuntuNoob> can anyone help???
[03:57] <dextershiz> calm down
[03:57] <jrib> !helpme | ubuntuNoob

[03:57] <Noobuntu> can i compile and generate a 64 bit binary on a 32 bit ubuntu machine?
[03:57] <ubuntuNoob> not really getting an error
[03:58] <ubuntuNoob> after i shrink my partition on my c drive and restart my pc with cd in drive it brings up the purple ubuntu screen but immediately after that i get a flashing cursor for a few minutes then it just stays there and doesnt flash
[03:59] <kritika> hello all .  i have ASUS K53U laptop and ubuntu 12.04 installed . in ubuntu 12.04 inbuilt SD card reader is not working, its not detecting the 2GB SD card and same works in win7 same laptop.
[04:00] <Noobuntu> I am not sure if this is the correct channel to ask my question
[04:00] <Noobuntu> could someone please redirect if not?
[04:01] <ubuntuNoob> !helpme
[04:01] <ubuntuNoob> oops
[04:01] <ubuntuNoob> anyways ive been trying for hours to get this working and still havent gotten it
[04:01] <ubuntuNoob> there havent been too many sites that are helpful
[04:02] <Noobuntu> ubuntuNoob: its most likely an issue with the CD ROM itself
[04:02] <Noobuntu> try using a live usb stick instead
[04:03] <ubuntuNoob> does it work any better with a usb?
[04:04] <morgan> Hello, I'm getting an error "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.1/usb_storage, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs)" when I run the following from fstab: //192.168.1.1/usb_storage /mnt/readyshare cifs user,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[04:05] <Noobuntu> ubuntuNoob: yes it should work better
[04:05] <morgan> However this exact line worked just an hour ago, all I did was reinstall 12.04
[04:05] <wilee-nilee> ubuntuNoob, There are wiki on UEFI booting, but honestly I would post at the ubuntu forums, this is old hat for some daily helpers there.
[04:05] <wilee-nilee> and a handful here as well, who are not on right now.
[04:06] <wilee-nilee> !pm > ubuntuNoob
[04:06] <wilee-nilee> ubuntuNoob, I don't PM. ;)
[04:07] <Noobuntu> is it possible to generate 64 bit binaries on a 32 bbit Ubuntu machine?
[04:07] <Noobuntu> using g++
[04:07] <morgan> nevermind I got it D:
[04:07] <wilee-nilee> ubuntuNoob, I can't really help beyond what I have suggested as well.
[04:08] <ubuntuNoob> ah ok was just saying thanks im really wanting to dual boot but all im about ready to do by now is stick with windows 7 alone
[04:09] <Noobuntu> ubuntuNoob, give the usb stiick a try - you have nothing to lose
[04:09] <ubuntuNoob> because not even wubi gets it lol
[04:09] <wilee-nilee> ubuntuNoob, Your choice, sometimes it is just getting the right help, yours it not a big problem but needs the right help.
[04:10] <ubuntuNoob> yeah so far getting the RIGHT help has been my problem.  I may try it again using usb and if that doesnt work i guess its to the forums i go
[04:11] <Basic>  warning: configuring awesome Wm is nearly imposable
[04:12] <gartral> ubuntuNoob: Yea, I gave up getting ubuntu too boot alone on uefi..
[04:12] <wilee-nilee> !uefi
[04:13] <ubuntuNoob> havent really given up yet gartral just getting frustrated is all
[04:17] <Noobuntu> ubuntuNoob: FYI my system has uefi and I installed ubuntu using a usb stick since the cd rom didn't work for me
[04:17] <ubuntuNoob> kk thanks Noobuntu im trying that in just a second
[04:18] <bambino> hey im trying to use sudo ./ for installing one software but it dont recognise the order and do anything anyone know why would it be?
[04:19] <Noobuntu> bambino: sudo apt-get install <software name>
[04:19] <wilee-nilee> bambino, can you give the whole command and what it is.
[04:20] <bambino> root@bambino:/home/bambino/Escritorio/WepCrack# sudo ./wepcrack
[04:22] <wilee-nilee> bambino, This was a tar you don't install that way, there should be a instruction text in it.
[04:22] <bambino> wilee-nilee yes its for starting graphic mode but it dont start it
[04:23] <wilee-nilee> bambino, I have never used this app, but you would not use sudo in root.
[04:24] <Noobuntu> bambino: check if the script has execute permissions
[04:25] <bambino> thanks
[04:25] <bambino> noobuntu: how can i do it and how can i cange it
[04:25] <Noobuntu> chmod +x wepcrack
[04:27] <Dr0p3D> jrib,  i've resolved the missing main repositorys. after searching the net for some

[04:29] <Dr0p3D> jrib, everything seems to be back on track now. thanks for assisting. and thanks for your prolonged efforts in assisting... and same goes for RFlemming when he gets back
[04:30] <Dr0p3D> sorry to bother you all over my stupidity and wasting you alls time but i finnally fixed it after going through ubuntu forums and researching others documents.

[04:41] <JustBelieving> Hello!
[04:41] <EpicCyndaquil> Has anyone here used unison (with a Windows and a Linux PC)? If so, would you mind helping me set it up? Having some trouble on the Windows side
[04:47] <sam__> I had win 7 and ubuntu 12.04 . i needed to reinstall win7 after first reboot in installation I faced this error. no such partition
[04:47] <matheus-ifsul> boa noite a todfos
[04:47] <matheus-ifsul> todos
[04:47] <sam__> grub rescue
[04:48] <sam__> and a blinking line
[04:48] <wilee-nilee> EpicCyndaquil, You might want the ##windows channel for the windows side.
[04:48] <sam__> I need to get rid of grub now and continue my normal windows
[04:48] <sam__> continue my normal windows installation boot
[04:49] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Do you have a recovery or install disc and what windows version is it?
[04:49] <sam__> win7 64 bit
[04:49] <Zaehlas> Greetings!  I am trying to use the Landscape service to run a script on a remote system..  I need to delete a file using root access, but Landscape won't let me run the script as root.  I can try running as a regular user and putting sudo commands in the script, I think...  but I'm not sure how that would work as I won't be "there" to type in the password.  Am I going about this the wrong way?
[04:49] <sam__> I used disk but i faced same error
[04:50] <sam__> I need to delete and perhaps format ubuntu partition
[04:50] <EpicCyndaquil> good suggestion wilee-nilee, I'll give it a shot
[04:50] <sam__> without having ubuntu on my disk
[04:50] <matheus-ifsul> #ubuntu-br
[04:50] <sam__> give me what i want please its takeing me too long
[04:50] <wilee-nilee> sam__, YOU just need if the windows boot is okay the terminal in the booted disc and run. BootRec.exe /fixmbr
[04:52] <sam__> I wrote what you said in grub rescue line but Unknown command
[04:52] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Here is a whole rebuild set if needed if the command above does not due it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219922/   Read the posts I said the command from the terminal on the booted windows disc.
[04:52] <Zaehlas> sam_, wilee-nilee said to boot from the windows disk, go to prompt and use the command above on the windows side.  Should fix it
[04:53] <bambino> hey now i've having more troubles
[04:53] <bambino> bash: ./wepcrack: Permiso denegado
[04:54] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Take a look at the pastebin it has instuctions to getting to the terminal an the disc and a link to show you if needed.
[04:55] <sam__> wilee what if i format ubuntu partition using try ubuntu from live disk
[04:55] <sam__> ?
[04:55] <sam__> does it work that way seems easier.
[04:55] <wilee-nilee> sam__, I'm not sure what you mean?
[04:56] <sam__> I mean I use the live cd to use ubuntu. and then i format the partition that had ubuntu in it
[04:56] <sam__> clear?
[04:56] <wilee-nilee> sam__, To boot windows without grub, you have to load the windows bootloader to the mbr, which is what the first command I posted does.
[04:57] <sam__> do you know how i can boot from grub rescue page
[04:57] <sam__> without pushing off button?
[04:58] <CTLwm> I have like bin/cue file to burn along with Tracks(1,2,3,4,etc).bin...how do i burn them to a single disc?
[04:59] <wilee-nilee> sam__, I'm not sure what is on your HD, in all that commotion earlier it seemed some stuff was missing.  I have the feeling you are grasping at straws here, I don't really help unless I have I a full downlow of what is going on.
[05:00] <wilee-nilee> sam__, IN other words I suspect you can not boot the windows disc, this should be mentioned if it is the case.
[05:01] <sam__> i can boot from system disk but not the other ones recovery disks
[05:01] <sam__> my system can not boot without a bootable disk or usb
[05:01] <wilee-nilee> sam__, I'm  not sure what that means.
[05:01] <Zaehlas> I am trying to use the Landscape service to run a script on a remote system..  I need to delete a file using root access, but Landscape won't let me run the script as root.  I can try running as a regular user and putting sudo commands in the script, I think...  but I'm not sure how that would work as I won't be "there" to type in the password.  Am I going about this the wrong way?
[05:02] <wilee-nilee> sam__, So am I correct you can't boot the windows disc to get to a recovery terminal?
[05:04] <sam__> what do you mean boot windows disk i m booting from the windows installation disk its goes until updating system and then it ejects cd and says system will reboot to continue installation
[05:04] <sam__> and then i face that grub page
[05:05] <sam__> oh im tired of doing this again and again
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Have you looked at the pastebin I posted it tells you how to get to the recovery terminal?
[05:05] <sam__> it sucks
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> the recovery on the windows disc
[05:06] <sam__> yeah but it did not give me command prompt option
[05:06] <sam__> I
[05:06] <sam__> it just asks for recovery disk 1 again
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Is there a W7 install or just a recovery on the HD?
[05:06] <sam__> its not installed
[05:07] <akis> i read in google that with the command 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop' i can install on my 12.04 ubuntu under gnome the xcfe desktop of the lighter xubuntu. is that trure? has any issues? i read also that when the system strarts gives the options to choose betweeen different desktops (gnome or xcfe). is that also true? do ia nees to reconfigure my programs to run under under xcfe as i have configured under gnome. for example to i have to
[05:07] <akis> reconfigure chrome or mozilla preferences, bookmarks etc or does my /user stays the same?
[05:07] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Ah you need a install to use the command to reload the windows bootloader.
[05:07] <Noobuntu> bambino: sudo ./wepack
[05:08] <sam__> it was just going to install it i guess it formated the last win and could not reboot to continue installation process
[05:08] <bazhang> akis, yes but use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:08] <sam__> i can not install anything wilee
[05:08] <sam__> when i can n ot boot
[05:08] <bazhang> !enter | sam__
[05:08] <wilee-nilee> sam__, If you had run the bootrepair in the beginning as I suggested long ago to get a bootscript posted a lot of this hassle would have been avoided, instead of flailing to fix.
[05:09] <Noobuntu> alright, that wasn't so tough
[05:09] <sam__> ok can you send the link again?
[05:09] <bazhang> akis no need to reconfigure them
[05:09] <Noobuntu> building a g++ cross compiler
[05:10] <akis> is there any dangerous for my data due to this procedure or is it absolutely safe? does my /user stays the same so i don't need to reconfigure anythin but just to manage my new desktop?
[05:10] <bazhang> akis yes very safe
[05:11] <bazhang> akis use apt-get , not aptitude
[05:11] <wilee-nilee> sam__, Here is a link I'm going to crash soon so I doubt I can be of help, but the ubuntu forum is a great place I would post the script there and your intentions and tools you have. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[05:12] <akis> so, i can understand that is a very convinient procedure. because any user can have 2 desktop in one machine and choose any he likes at any time he wants. to go from one to other you need to restart or just to log out?
[05:12] <bazhang> akis , log out. and way more than two.
[05:13] <sam__> thanks wilee nillee
[05:13] <bazhang> lubuntu-desktop , kubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop and others akis
[05:15] <akis> oh thanks. it could be my next question.
[05:15] <drcode> hi all
[05:16] <wilee-nilee> sam__, No problem I think we all want to see you up and running. ;)
[05:16] <drcode> I have bout amd ati 7750 , I have installed amd driver in ubuntu , but I can't use glxgear, it work only if I move the window itself, any idea?
[05:17] <drcode> I had nvidia card and I have remove nvidia drivers
[05:17] <akis> what is the difference between lubuntu and xubuntu, except that lubuntu must be lighter? http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.gr/2012/04/ubuntu-1204-vs-xubuntu-1204-vs-kubuntu.html
[05:17] <sam__> i hope it happen again . now im exhausted . it was simple win installation and what it ended up
[05:17] <drcode> dose ubuntu have support for ati amd 7750?
[05:17] <bazhang> akis, lighter weight, some different default applications, themes, file managers and so on.
[05:18] <jesuscakes> hey guys

[05:21] <akis> them too under ubuntu's gnome? their interface will be like gnome or like kde?
[05:22] <bazhang> akis, sure you can run them on any DE. how well they blend into the other DE depends. some more smoothly than others
[05:24] <akis> nautilus is preety good but it has not 2 features i like in dolphin. Move command and 'open archives as folder'. Is there any solution for these in Nautilus?

[05:44] <akis> here i read about this bug i faced also on my netbook (but not on my notebook!) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/995401. Any idea to fix it and to force the system to recognize my option with keys combination?
[05:45] <jm> hey guys?
[05:45] <jm> i just want to ask something
[05:45] <truexfan81> then ask

[05:46] <killer_> !attitude
[05:46] <jm> cool
[05:47] <akis> i think this command 'sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,gr' maybe solve the issue. i' ll try it right now and i 'll report.
[05:51] <wilee-nilee> phanindra, Just out of curiosity why just that specific font, all I see on the web is installs.

[05:55] <UbuntuNoob> does anyone on here have ubuntu 12.04 dual booted with windows 7 pre installed?
[05:55] <Sefid_Par> UbuntuNoob: Why?
[05:55] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, Is that a boot partition or root which is already mounted.
[05:55] <Sefid_Par> UbuntuNoob: Ask your question about it.
[05:56] <cihhan> wilee-nilee: boot
[05:56] <UbuntuNoob> i forgot to put dual booted on a system with uefi
[05:56] <cihhan> there is no /boot
[05:56] <cihhan> it's like deleted
[05:57] <wilee-nilee> UbuntuNoob, Yes I installed and reinstalled both aside each other but nit with a uefi setup
[05:57] <wilee-nilee> not*
[05:57] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, I'm not sure but what you mean by /boot
[05:57] <UbuntuNoob> i have had no luck with it since i got my new motherboard that has uefi
[05:57] <m3pow> Hello ! I recently god an error in Ubuntu and it goes like this : usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord/colord
[05:58] <akis> command 'sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,gr' didn't solve the issue at least for me.
[05:58] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, or just bot
[05:58] <wilee-nilee> boot*
[05:58] <Sefid_Par> UbuntuNoob: Excuse me; I have not experience about this
[05:58] <cihhan> wilee-nilee: the boot files such as grub
[05:59] <UbuntuNoob> well crap im hoping to get this figured out
[05:59] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, I'm not sure what your doing but those are in the root files, what is your final goal here?
[05:59] <UbuntuNoob> right now im running it in virtualbox
[06:00] <cihhan> wilee-nilee: The thing is like /dev/ there is /boot folder
[06:00] <cihhan> wilee-nilee: so, my /boot directory is no longer there
[06:00] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, what is your final goal here?
[06:00] <cihhan> wilee-nilee: to recover my system
[06:01] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, Are you booted to it or is this from another install or a live cd?
[06:01] <cihhan> I booted the system but while booting, it said that there are some problems
[06:02] <Solarnrg> Anyone in here play kerbal /ksp?
[06:02] <cihhan> So, when I see the log file it says something like /dev/sda1 is already mounted or /boot is busy
[06:02] <wilee-nilee> cihhan, Are you on the desktop? Is this grub 2?
[06:02] <cihhan> should be grub2
[06:02] <Snow-Man> cihhan: what error were you getting..?
[06:02] <cihhan> Im remotely connecting to the computer
[06:03] <Snow-Man> the sda1 being busy stuff isn't really an error that should cause boot problems.
[06:03] <Snow-Man> over what?
[06:03] <cihhan> Snow-Man: When I m rebooting my computer it gives error and says that /dev/sda1 is already mounted or /boot is busy
[06:03] <UbuntuNoob> anyone have the newest version of ubuntu installed on uefi alongside windows 7 which was preinstalled?
[06:03] <cihhan> Snow-Man: I m conencting using ssh
[06:04] <cihhan> Snow-Man: my sda1 should be the boot
[06:05] <WeThePeople> hi
[06:05] <Solarnrg> hi there
[06:06] <cihhan> Snow-Man: So, any ideas?
[06:06] <BlackDalek> is there an image pastebin I can post a screenshot to?
[06:06] <wilee-nilee> !imaqebin
[06:06] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin
[06:07] <Snow-Man> cihhan: still wondering what the error is..
[06:07] <BlackDalek> thanks.
[06:07] <WeThePeople> imgh.us
[06:07] <wilee-nilee> np
[06:07] <Snow-Man> perhaps look through dmesg output?
[06:08] <jilt007> My system is showing ip but not connecting to internet
[06:08] <Snow-Man> what IP do you see?
[06:09] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  the ip alloted to my system in networ starting with 192.X.X.X
[06:09] <andrewaclt> That's a local network address
[06:09] <Snow-Man> alright, do you have a default gw?
[06:09] <jilt007> Snow-Man: gw ?
[06:09] <Snow-Man> ip ro ls; will show you
[06:09] <jilt007> ok
[06:09] <Snow-Man> yes, gateway
[06:09] <Snow-Man> look for a line with 'default'
[06:10] <jilt007> Snow-Man: no
[06:10] <Snow-Man> you'll need a 'default' line.  Do you know the IP address of your router?
[06:11] <jilt007> i don't know  but tell me the procees i will do it
[06:11] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  How to add it please tell the command
[06:12] <Snow-Man> ip ro add default via 192.whatever
[06:12] <jilt007> Snow-Man: Thanks going to try
[06:14] <chovynz> is there a command i can do to 1) search my home folder, 2)go through each filename and folder, 3)find any spaces and replace the spaces with underscores? I recently did a backup of windows files and some of them have spaces, despite every effort to enforce a no spaces policy.
[06:15] <onja> hi
[06:15] <WeThePeople> hi
[06:15] <Snow-Man> chovynz: yes, that's possible to do, but it's a bit involved.  There's no single command to do it.
[06:15] <Snow-Man> chovynz: that's one of the good things about unix though, really, lots of small/simple utilities which you can put together to do what you need...
[06:16] <chovynz> Snow-Man: currently im doing it manually through filezilla, so, anything might be better :)
[06:16] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  RTNETLINK no such process  ,   it is saying
[06:17] <Snow-Man> jilt007: did you figure out what the IP address of your gateway router is?  If not, it's not going to work.
[06:17] <Snow-Man> chovynz: hahaha.
[06:17] <rrandom_> if i have a folder name starts with - ,how can i open it in cmd?
[06:17] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  Yes  i got the ip of gateway
[06:17] <Snow-Man> chovynz: my recommendation would be to use a shell script, really.
[06:17] <Snow-Man> rrandom_: probably by putting "--" before it, eg: mycmd -- -file
[06:18] <Snow-Man> chovynz: you might be able to do it w/ a single find command, but it'd be kind of tricky.
[06:19] <Snow-Man> jilt007: do you get anything back from that 'ip ro ls' command?
[06:19] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  yes
[06:19] <rrandom_> Snow-Man: thanks.it really help
[06:20] <jayeffkay> I can't seem to get ssh to respect a changes authorize_keys file
[06:20] <jayeffkay> Is there anything i should do besides service ssh restart?
[06:20] <brainysm1rf> I want to check if my users still have the default password given to them. What command would I send to john? It's just checking to see if it can crack the one password.
[06:20] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  192.168.12.0/24  dev eth0  something like that but  only one line , i checked the other system the output of the command  ip  ro ls  is in 3 line
[06:21] <Snow-Man> jayeffkay: restarting ssh shouldn't be necessary..  sounds like there's a different problem.  Are you sure the file is only readable by the owner?  And the .ssh directory is 700?
[06:21] <chovynz> you look busy Snow-Man so ill wait for when your free to talk more indepth with you, if you are willing
[06:22] <Snow-Man> jilt007: ok, and the default gw you're using starts with 192.168.12. right?
[06:22] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  yes
[06:22] <Snow-Man> chovynz: ever created a shell script before?
[06:22] <chovynz> Snow-Man: nope
[06:22] <jayeffkay> Snow-Man: Yeah, it was set up initially by ubuntu/ec2, i just changed the file, but it's neither locking out the old key nor accepting the new one
[06:22] <Snow-Man> jilt007: maybe try: route add -net default gw 192.168.12.whatever ?
[06:23] <jilt007> Snow-Man:  ok
[06:23] <Snow-Man> jayeffkay: ugh.  I dunno about ec2 and what magic they might be forcing..
[06:23] <Snow-Man> chovynz: alright..  ever written an actual *text* file, using nano or vi or something?
[06:24] <jayeffkay> Snow-Man: yeah, sometimes i hate ec2
[06:24] <chovynz> plenty of times Snow-Man, i just dont know the unix commands for what i want to do. i could google or man, but im currently trying to move my laptop upstairs.
[06:25] <Snow-Man> chovynz: are all the files in one directory?
[06:29] <Snow-Man> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219994/
[06:29] <Snow-Man> something like that might work
[06:30] <Snow-Man> err
[06:30] <sazawal> I want to route pulseaudio to jack using pulseaudio-module-jack. Please help!
[06:30] <Snow-Man> bit better: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219997/
[06:31] <Snow-Man> that won't actually *do* anything
[06:31] <Snow-Man> except echo what it would do
[06:31] <Snow-Man> change the line that says "echo" to be something like: mv "$FILE" "$NEWNAME"
[06:32] <chovynz> brb, switched from wired (downstairs dungeon) to wireless, (upstairs castle window)

[06:33] <titas9x> is  vodafone 3g usb modem zte k3770-z supported by latest ubuntu beta 12.10?
[06:34] <titas9x> any one tested it?
[06:34] <Snow-Man> napster: hrm..  dia?
[06:35] <napster> Snow-Man: Allmost all forum threads mentions dia or kivio. Just wanted to know what you guys use
[06:36] <napster> have you user yEd Snow-Man ?
[06:36] <Snow-Man> I've used dia for a bunch of stuff, including data center design, heh.
[06:36] <Snow-Man> nope
[06:36] <napster> ok
[06:36] <napster> Snow-Man: thank you, gonna try Dia

I have it live streaming my desktop and stream my mic audio BUT I also need the sound from my sound card so that viewers can hear game sound. This is what I have so far: http://pastebin.com/3NL21P7F Can anyone help make it so that it streams the audio off the sound card as well?

[06:44] <^GeCk0^> good morning
[06:45] <aaeors> Hi.
[06:45] <aaeors> Can you see me? :)
[06:45] <Snow-Man> yes
[06:45] <aaeors> Wohoo, it works!
[06:45] <blackshirt> good morning???
[06:45] <^GeCk0^> im searching an ubuntu-terminal(gnome) to save connections AND commands on buttons or menu
[06:45] <^GeCk0^> aaeors, yes i can see you :)
[06:46] <^GeCk0^> its 8:45 am in germany :)
[06:46] <aaeors> ^GeCk0^, great.
[06:47] <cloneman> does anyone use nomachine NX? I'm wondering how to see the ubuntu desktop, I'm getting a terminal
[06:50] <Taln> Does anyone know where i can go for for ffmpeg help?
[06:50] <Snow-Man> mailing list?
[06:55] <voidmain_> hi guys
[06:55] <Snow-Man> hey
[06:55] <^GeCk0^> hi
[06:57] <voidmain_> I'm thinking of doing this: 1-sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current dkms 2-sudo apt-get update and 3-sudo apt-get install dkms nvidia-current ... if I do so, can I find myself without my monitor working in the midst of installing the nvidia drivers ?
[06:57] <beboj> how to setserial , wvdial can't find my internal gsm card http://pastebin.com/tnru54NS
[06:57] <exeter> hey
[06:57] <chovynz> this is better. I can see things now
[06:58] <chovynz> is Snow-Man still here?
[06:58] <Snow-Man> perhaps.. :)
[06:58] <chovynz> ahaha
[06:59] <Snow-Man> sup?
[07:00] <chovynz> can you describe to me the paste you gave me before?
[07:00] <chovynz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219997/
[07:01] <chovynz> Why at the begining do you have #! ...
[07:01] <chovynz> is that where it goes?
[07:04] <Snow-Man> chovynz: working on it, give me a few.
[07:05] <chovynz> lol, i dont really want you to do my work for me, i want to learn what these do and what they mean.
[07:05] <chovynz> but i do appreciate what you've done so far :)
[07:06] <Snow-Man> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220018/
[07:06] <Snow-Man> there ya go.
[07:07] <chovynz> oh! sweet, thanks
[07:07] <Snow-Man> I tried to explain each step to someone who isn't familiar with shell scripting.
[07:07] <Snow-Man> np
[07:08] <blazemore> How do I show window contents when resizing? I have ccsm
[07:09] <Snow-Man> I have no idea.
[07:09] <karthick87> How to install nrpe plugin in ubuntu ???
[07:10] <chovynz> Snow-Man: how would i go about making this work on all subdirectories? (recursively?)
[07:10] <Snow-Man> aptitude install nagios-plugin-nrpe or something?
[07:10] <Snow-Man> use apt-cache search
[07:10] <Snow-Man> chovynz: you would need to split it up into directory and file components
[07:10] <blazemore> Is it worth installing fglrx or will this break everything like my multi montior setup?
[07:10] <Snow-Man> chovynz: you can do that by running 'dirname' on $line, that'll give you the directory
[07:11] <chovynz> Snow-Man:  some of the directories have spaces too. is it pretty much the same proces but for dirs?
[07:11] <Snow-Man> then you can still run sed on the base file, but then keep the file in the same directory it's in currently; even if the directory has a space in it
[07:11] <Snow-Man> if you want the script to change the *directories* to remove the spaces also, things get more complicated.
[07:12] <chovynz> how so?
[07:12] <Snow-Man> well
[07:12] <chovynz> !rd
[07:12] <Snow-Man> the simple answer would be to just go through and change the directories first
[07:12] <chovynz> heh
[07:13] <chovynz> not something i fancy with 40K files and god knows how many dirs
[07:13] <Snow-Man> if you want it all done at the same time, then you have to deal with the fact that find isn't going to know about directory renames as its recursing..
[07:13] <Snow-Man> pffft.
[07:13] <Snow-Man> that's not very many
[07:13] <chovynz> lol
[07:13] <Snow-Man> you can just use find to pull/change only the directories
[07:14] <chovynz> then do the files after?
[07:14] <Snow-Man> yea
[07:14] <chovynz> find in gui or cli?
[07:14] <Snow-Man> tho there is an issue about multiple-levels of directories...
[07:14] <Snow-Man> cli, of course
[07:14] <Snow-Man> ugh
[07:14] <Snow-Man> makes my head hurt, and I've been drinking. :D
[07:14] <chovynz> Ahahah
[07:15] <chovynz> So a dir find would be something like,             find dir -depth 1 -name '* *' -print | while read line; do
[07:16] <silverarrow> how do you go about kernel modulation for accelerated graphics hardware ?
[07:17] <chovynz> find / -name "* *" -type d
[07:17] <Snow-Man> yea
[07:17] <silverarrow> what?
[07:17] <chovynz> sorry silverarrow, not at you
[07:18] <Snow-Man> but what happens when there's multiple levels of directories with spaces?
[07:18] <chovynz> Snow-Man: true...
[07:18] <chovynz> Snow-Man: is there some way of going to the last depth of directory and working back or does it not work that way?
[07:19] <Snow-Man> actually, it shouldn't be that bad, if you do it right, but you might have to do multiple traversals and there could be some errors.
[07:19] <Snow-Man> chovynz: here's my suggestion
[07:19] <seduce1> I click on the update manager and when I click Partial Upgrade it starts and then error appears, I cannot upgrade
[07:20] <Snow-Man> chovynz: create a set of directories which have some of these 'issues' and challenges
[07:20] <Snow-Man> and then test
[07:20] <Snow-Man> :)
[07:20] <chovynz> lol
[07:20] <Snow-Man> testing is awesome.
[07:20] <chovynz> fair enough and good suggestion
[07:20] <seduce1> anyone with an answer for my issue
[07:21] <Snow-Man> seduce1: what's the error?
[07:21] <seduce1> it says
[07:21] <seduce1> Could not Calculate Upgrade
[07:21] <Snow-Man> ugh.
[07:21] <seduce1> it has happened before too
[07:22] <silverarrow> with older graphics cards has anyone been able to get accelerated graphics ?
[07:22] <seduce1> but after awhile it got fixed
[07:22] <Snow-Man> silverarrow: if it's old enough, it might not be able to provide acceleration...
[07:22] <Snow-Man> seduce1: perhaps make sure you've done an update?
[07:22] <seduce1> I did the update
[07:22] <seduce1> then tried to upgrade
[07:23] <seduce1> and this is what appears
[07:23] <silverarrow> Snow-Man, I see, however I think it originally had in osx
[07:23] <silverarrow> Snow-Man, I keep getting conflicting info
[07:24] <Snow-Man> It really depends on the specific card..
[07:25] <chovynz> Snow-Man: find ~ -name "* *" -type d, this limited my search and i found a few where i wanted instead of searching root which is / (or is that current directory?)
[07:25] <silverarrow> It is only an old iBook, with  4X AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 card
[07:25] <Snow-Man> chovynz: / is 'root', current directory would be '.'
[07:25] <drupin> VLC is giving me flickering. very minute flashes...
[07:25] <chovynz> Snow-Man: thanks
[07:26] <Snow-Man> there was an ibook?  or is it a macbook?  heh..
[07:26] <silverarrow> Snow-Man, it`s not so much the acceleration and 3D effects, but more actual activation of graphics card
[07:26] <Snow-Man> drupin: I bet that's annoying.
[07:26] <quatar> Hello. I'm using ubuntu server 11.10 and it's since a month ago or so that I get the warning "volume boot has only 0 bytes disk space remaining" that prevents me from, e.g., intalling new linux or linux-headers packages. What kind of cleaning can I do?
[07:26] <chovynz> silverarrow: i would think that radeons are fairly well supported in ubuntu these days.
[07:26] <Snow-Man> quatar: look for file in /root to remove?
[07:27] <silverarrow> chovynz, at the mac rumors forum they have the ompletely opposite view?
[07:27] <quatar> Snow-Man: since it's not part of my /home, they are not file I totally undertsnad, and I can't see what is useful and what can be deleted
[07:28] <Snow-Man> quatar: how big is your root partition?
[07:28] <IdleOne> quatar: delete old kernels and old log files
[07:28] <Snow-Man> be careful not to remove the currently running one though
[07:28] <Snow-Man> you can use uname -a to see
[07:28] <drupin> yes Snow-Man very annoying
[07:29] <silverarrow> he should be melted by summer by now, not matter how large
[07:29] <Snow-Man> hah
[07:29] <chovynz> silverarrow: is this helpful in anyway? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/radeon.4.html
[07:29] <silverarrow> unless he lives on a glacier
[07:29] <quatar> Snow-Man: /boot is 228 MB, IdleOne: just removing all the old config*, abi*, initrd.img*, system*, vm*?
[07:29] <Snow-Man> quatar: it would be best to use dpkg to remove things...
[07:29] <quatar> (removing / archiving elsewhre)
[07:29] <Snow-Man> you can do: dpkg -l | grep linux-
[07:29] <chovynz> O.o quatar you have a 228 mb boot?
[07:30] <quatar> chovynz: standard installation, i didn't choose anything
[07:30] <quatar> Snow-Man: tx
[07:30] <auronandace> quatar: check your log files
[07:30] <quatar> auronandace: lloking for what
[07:31] <quatar> *looking
[07:31] <Snow-Man> ugh.  this rated-for-TV version of Good Will Hunting is really annoying me.  The voice-overs for the language are *terrible*.
[07:31] <auronandace> quatar: the size of the log files
[07:31] <quatar> auronandace: ahah ok
[07:31] <Snow-Man> log files may be large and easily removed..
[07:32] <Snow-Man> you might need to restart your logging daemon, if they aren't archived files tho
[07:32] <Snow-Man> otherwise, they might be held open and the space not free'd
[07:33] <quatar> mmh ok, i'll see if just removing packages is enaugh
[07:33] <quatar> then i'll try to kill the old logs
[07:33] <Snow-Man> note that logs typically reside under, like, /var/log/
[07:33] <silverarrow> quatar, don`t  say it out lound the logs are probably escaping now
[07:34] <karthick87> Snow-Man: I have installed "apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server" and i have started it using  "/etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server start" but it is getting stopped immediately, i have checked it using "/etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server status" and it showed " * nagios-nrpe is not running" How to fix it ??
[07:35] <monogate> what's wrong with this vid? can't understand nothing :X http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Y94IeQ8gk&feature=g-all-u
[07:35] <Snow-Man> karthick87: when I have a problem with a package, I generally go look for files under /usr/share/doc/<package-name> for info about the package.
[07:35] <Snow-Man> karthick87: what I don't do is use excessive punctuation in an attempt to get aide.
[07:36] <blazemore> How can I stop my "bind" mounts from showing in Unity?
[07:36] <Taln> Used pavucontrol to solve my audio-in and audio-out problem
[07:36] <Taln> solution for those who saw my question from earlier is: PAVUCONTROL
[07:36] <Taln> kthx
[07:37] <silverarrow> chovynz, thanks for the link, it is quite a lot for an amateur though
[07:37] <silverarrow> not sure my card is listed there
[07:37] <chovynz> silverarrow:  it is. the 9550?
[07:37] <silverarrow> yes
[07:37] <chovynz> silverarrow:  do you have that driver installed
[07:38] <silverarrow> chovynz, I have 12.04 running at least, with or with out graphics card actively used is the question
[07:39] <monogate> what's wrong with this vid? can't understand nothing :X http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Y94IeQ8gk&feature=g-all-u
[07:39] <chovynz> I would hazard a guess that you might not have it installed. Can you find what graphical drivers you have installed?
[07:39] <silverarrow> chovynz, some say I have "software rendered graphics"
[07:40] <chovynz> silverarrow: what does your machine tell you?
[07:40] <auronandace> silverarrow: pastebin lsmod
[07:42] <silverarrow> well
[07:42] <silverarrow> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220049/
[07:43] <blazemore> Does anyone have a good quality version of Bouken Desho Desho they could link me?
[07:43] <auronandace> silverarrow: i said lsmod
[07:44] <auronandace> silverarrow: open a terminal type: lsmod (pastebin the output)
[07:44] <silverarrow> sorry, that was the xorg log
[07:44] <silverarrow> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220053/
[07:44] <silverarrow> which I thought were the place to go look for it
[07:44] <auronandace> silverarrow: there you go, you are using the open source radeon driver
[07:45] <chovynz> so, now that we have established that you do have the driver, what do you want to do with this knowledge silverarrow?
[07:46] <chovynz> or rather more to the point, what is your exact issue?
[07:46] <silverarrow> I somehow want to make sure my iBook actually uses it, and not sort of bypass it
[07:46] <chovynz> benchmark tests?
[07:46] <auronandace> silverarrow: the driver is loaded, it is in use
[07:46] <silverarrow> oh, I see
[07:46] <silverarrow> good
[07:47] <auronandace> silverarrow: lsmod = list modules that are loaded and in use
[07:47] <silverarrow> auronandace, I am testing for quantal powerpc and it is a major mess with drivers in the live cd

[07:48] <pngl> How do I troubleshoot slowness on my computer? I suspect swap, because task monitor doesn't show any process eating up CPU, but I don't know where to look to know what the system spends its time doing.
[07:48] <silverarrow> auronandace, some have had trouble with this, and I seem to have been lucky with the graphic driveres then
[07:48] <silverarrow> auronandace, I am on 12.04 issues right now
[07:49] <auronandace> silverarrow: radeon is the default driver, it should work with most cards
[07:49] <blazemore> While we're on the subject, is it worth installing fglrx on Quantal? I've only ever had problems in the past with vsync and multiple monitors
[07:49] <Snow-Man> pngl: vmstat, iostat, iotop, free, top...
[07:49] <auronandace> blazemore: #ubuntu+1
[07:50] <Sailor_Moon> can anybody help me? text browser Elinks can not upload file; it write (in status bar): "transferring 2...8 kb of 6 mb" then write "request send" and do nothing; then. after 10 minutes, "error to read from socket"
[07:50] <silverarrow> auronandace, the lower speced ibooks and powerbooks are having problems with drivers, I was trying to establish was actually is working on my iBook

[07:58] <auronandace> chovynz: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:58] <ramprasadgk1> how to do that
[07:58] <chovynz> auronandace: was it that simple??

[07:59] <Sailor_Moon> gayle: maybe use chmod or su...
[07:59] <auronandace> chovynz: try it and see, if you are using software from outside the repos that will likely create problems though
[07:59] <ramprasadgk1> ok
[08:00] <chovynz> auronandace: ah that's possible. I think I enabled a ppa
[08:00] <gayle> Sailor_Moon: and.......

[08:05] <chovynz> how do i upgrade specific things like libdbus-1-3?
[08:06] <Snow-Man> well, perhaps just aptitude install libdbus-1-3
[08:06] <Snow-Man> heh
[08:06] <auronandace> chovynz: dbus is an integral package, if that got replaced in some ppa then you are going to run into problems
[08:07] <chovynz> I'll deal with that it if happens.
[08:07] <gordonjcp> chovynz: why do you want to upgrade just dbus?
[08:07] <chovynz> if indeed there might be a conflict, it'll be a good learning experience
[08:08] <gayle> Can someone help me with this thunar error?  (See: http://imagebin.org/229358 )
[08:08] <auronandace> chovynz: yeah, you'll learn that ppas are not worth the effort

[08:14] <chovynz> gordonjcp: O.o how deep does the rabbit hole go?
[08:15] <gayle> Sailor_Moon: Thanks, but I seem to have fixed it. Not really sure what I did but ran thunar from a terminal and it worked.  But before that, I dragged a couple files to the Trash Icon and maybe that did something. I don't know for sure.  Still testing.  (This is after an upgrade.)
[08:15] <gordonjcp> chovynz: also http://what-if.xkcd.com

[08:19] <chovynz> Sailor_Moon: can i help you in any way?
[08:19] <gayle> Sailor_Moon: Ok, that is interesting.  When I run thunar from a terminal, I can select a file, hit delete and it works, file goes away.  *But* when I start by clicking on thunar's icon, it gives error, "Unable to find or create trash directory".
[08:20] <Sailor_Moon> surt: maybe , in desktop-menu files; you can open it in text editor and see what command run preferences; but where desktop-menu file in ubuntu, i dont know
[08:20] <gayle> Why would it be different.  Maybe I should just restart or log out and back in again.  (This is after an upgrade.)

[08:25] <Notimik> hm can you mount a dir like this UUID=1234/users /home ext4 default 0 0 ?
[08:26] <gayle> Reporting success:  Thunar works properly after reboot.  Not sure what the issue was but it is cleared up now.  So...
[08:27] <auronandace> Notimik: 1234/users is not a uuid
[08:27] <Sailor_Moon> gayle: i am glad to see it =)
[08:27] <auronandace> !uuid | Notimik
[08:27] <Notimik> auronandace: mm i know that but is it possible to to mount a disk with a path to a dir?
[08:28] <auronandace> Notimik: not that i know of
[08:31] <Notimik> auronandace: oki
[08:32] <acer> hi all
[08:32] <acer> where are software updates logged please ?
[08:33] <Sailor_Moon> notimik: you can mount drive as /mount/drive; then mount /mount/drive/directory-you-need as /mount/directory-you-need; ;then lock access to all drive(by lock /mount drive (by change access rights) or simple not use it
[08:34] <Sailor_Moon> notimik: *by lock /mount/drive
[08:34] <Sailor_Moon> bye!
[08:34] <Notimik> Sailor_Moon: oki,, dont know if I follow you. I basically want to move my /home to a another partition

[08:37] <acer> I see in the log /usr/sbin/lfd: FAILED and /usr/sbin/csf: FAILED on fri 21
[08:38] <acer> does this means I was hacked or that an update was happened ?
[08:38] <biopyte> hi, this morning i could not boot in to my 11.10 on a thinkpad because of "could not mount /tmp" or so (i forgot the exact error message). several booting attemps failed with similar errors (mount issues). i ran extensive harddrive diagnostics and the drive is healthy and also windows xp (its a dual boot system) ran without issues. after all this outside testing, the next ubuntu boot worked flawlessly.
[08:39] <biopyte> still, i'm concerned about the boot problem. do you have any idea what that was?
[08:39] <biopyte> can i run any diagnostics?
[08:40] <gordonjcp> biopyte: /tmp is provided by tmpfs
[08:40] <biopyte> why would the system not boot bacause of mount problems? in 10 years linux experience i never had such an issue?
[08:40] <gordonjcp> biopyte: it's a sort of a ramdisk
[08:40] <biopyte> gordonjcp, what does that imply?
[08:41] <gordonjcp> well, for some reason it was unable to fire up tmpfs
[08:41] <gordonjcp> I don't know why, but maybe the logs have something more to tell you
[08:41] <biopyte> ok
[08:42] <gordonjcp> biopyte: it's a ramdisk that can be swapped out
[08:42] <biopyte> gordonjcp, do you think that was some kind of rare hickup and i could forget about it?
[08:42] <gordonjcp> yeah, I suspect so
[08:42] <biopyte> ok
[08:42] <gordonjcp> keep an eye on it, and get more details if it happens again
[08:42] <biopyte> virus rather unlikely?
[08:42] <biopyte> sure
[08:42] <gordonjcp> incredibly unlikely
[08:42] <biopyte> ok
[08:42] <gordonjcp> there aren't any practical viruses for Linux
[08:42] <gordonjcp> I had some success getting viruses to work under Wine
[08:43] <gordonjcp> it wasn't really worth the effort though
[08:43] <silverarrow> ooh, a virus maker, arrest him
[08:43] <silverarrow> ;. )
[08:44] <silverarrow> that is a pluss with ubuntu
[08:44] <MonkeyDust> a virus?  interesting, what am i missing
[08:44] <biopyte> i understand, so its not a virus, the drive is fine ... i take it as a hickup due to a rare system situation
[08:44] <biopyte> gordonjcp, thx
[08:45] <silverarrow> biopyte, is it graphics or something else lagging the system down?
[08:45] <silverarrow> never mind
[08:46] <biopyte> silverarrow, actually i had the impression the system was slightly lagging last night before shutdown.
[08:46] <biopyte> firefox tab switching
[08:47] <cebor> i cant download the cd daily build, it stops always @ ~30mb   (pc x64) is this a net problem of me or of the ubuntu servers ???
[08:48] <biopyte> silvernarrow, right now i experience no lagging at all
[08:48] <biopyte> everything seems normal
[08:48] <silverarrow> biopyte, I suppose there are loads of browser factors that causes lag
[08:48] <biopyte> right
[08:48] <biopyte> firefox is not a good system diagnostics tool
[08:49] <silverarrow> those tracking cookies, flash stuff, I suppose they are equally effective on ubuntu as windows?
[08:49] <cebor> can somebody pls check, this link is working ? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-amd64.iso
[08:49] <MonkeyDust> cebor  #ubuntu+1
[08:50] <biopyte> ok, i forget about it and hope it will not happen again the next 10 years
[08:50] <blackshirt> !info zeitgeist-gui
[08:50] <SilfenX> hello! is it possible from desktop (not using terminal, too arcane) to force bind WAN destined traffic to openvpn virtual device interface, ie tun1 or for PPTP virtual interface, ppp0?
[08:50] <blackshirt> Is there gui frontend for zeitgeist
[08:51] <MonkeyDust> blackshirt  try /msg ubottu  find zeitgeist
[08:51] <ikonia> SilfenX: how will your machine know what wan traffic is ?
[08:51] <blackshirt> okey,i would try that
[08:52] <SilfenX> ikonia: adressed to different subnet than LAN?
[08:52] <ikonia> SilfenX: right, so where is that currently set to route ?
[08:52] <wutix> hi how do i installl grub to mbr
[08:52] <drupin> auronandace: i installed all the necessary codecs still mkv file is flickering... mean minute flashing a bit
[08:52] <ikonia> wutix: it's done as part of the install process
[08:53] <wutix> i meant grub-install
[08:53] <ikonia> wutix: man grub-install then
[08:53] <cebor> wutix:  grub-install /dev/sda
[08:53] <SilfenX> ikonia: I m a linux, as well as netowrk newbie. You d have to hold my hand doing this. Google hasnt been my friend either or my IQ isnt up to the challange of discerning the relevant bits of what I m reading ...
[08:54] <ikonia> SilfenX: ok, where is the non-local subnet traffic set to route currently ?
[08:54] <wutix> cebor does not work
[08:54] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: for that sort of thing, you will need to use the terminal
[08:54] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: making a GUI for that would be too complicated
[08:54] <ikonia> gordonjcp: maybe not if it's controlled by network manager.....
[08:55] <gordonjcp> ikonia: maybe I'm misunderstanding the question
[08:55] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: in general if you can't do it in network manager, it's some deep magic and you'll need to open a terminal
[08:55] <ikonia> gordonjcp: maybe I am too, he wants to route non-local traffic out of a different interface.
[08:55] <gordonjcp> ikonia: defaultroute then
[08:55] <ikonia> gordonjcp: exactly
[08:55] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: What exactly are you trying to do?
[08:55] <wutix> autodetection of a filesystem failed
[08:55] <cebor> wutix:   sudo fdisk -l
[08:55] <SilfenX> gordonjcp: problem is the VPN service I m subscribing to hands out a new IP each time the connection is inititated
[08:56] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: that's pretty standard
[08:56] <SilfenX> so I d be needing to use netdevicename, ie ppp0, tun1, eth0 etc
[08:56] <gordonjcp> SilfenX: I don't understand what you're trying to do
[08:56] <SilfenX> to forcebind applications or the entire WAN thingamajingy to the VPN?
[08:57] <gordonjcp> right
[08:57] <gordonjcp> but none of that makes any sence
[08:57] <gordonjcp> *sense
[08:57] <ikonia> just default route again.
[08:57] <gordonjcp> what's "forcebind"?
[08:57] <SilfenX> I dont want the machien to be able to access itnernet if the VPN is up but retain local smb connectivity
[08:57] <ikonia> if you want applications to go out of an interface if they are not on your local network, change the default route
[08:57] <SilfenX> *if the VPN isnt
[08:58] <ikonia> SilfenX: that will happen on it's own
[08:58] <ikonia> SilfenX: if there is no internet interface available, it can only use the local interface
[08:58] <wutix>  cebor no path or device is specified autodeection of the filesystem fqiled
[08:58] <ikonia> SilfenX: if there is an internet interface available, set it to the default route
[08:59] <SilfenX> wutix: but if the local interface has a standard gateway defined, wan packets will leak out over there?
[08:59] <SilfenX> sry, that was meant for ikonia
[08:59] <ikonia> SilfenX: nothing "leaks" and the only gateway on your local lan will be the default gateway, which will move if you set a new one
[09:00] <wutix> meh thanks guys
[09:00] <SilfenX> can this be automated, as each time vpn is initated, it gets a new ip, or can I simply use the netdevice name?
[09:00] <ikonia> SilfenX: it will probably set the new interface to the default gateway, if not you'll have to set it
[09:04] <billc> i have my book live drives 2 and i can see them on home folder but with no other software
[09:05] <blackshirt> how we know a process become zombie or not?

[09:05] <blackshirt> !zombie
[09:05] <blackshirt> Ikonia, how to check it
[09:06] <ikonia> blackshirt: what's the actual problem you have ?
[09:07] <blackshirt> ikonia, i have 1 zombie process on top output command,but i don't know what is it
[09:07] <ikonia> blackshirt: is it causing you any problems /
[09:07] <ikonia> ?
[09:08] <blackshirt> ikonia, actually i don't know...but i think i should know what the zombie process is?
[09:08] <llutz> blackshirt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process   nothing to worry about if it doesn't happen regularly
[09:08] <ikonia> blackshirt: why ? what good will it do
[09:08] <ikonia> blackshirt: it will clear when you next reboot

[09:09] <ikonia> tripelb: please - this channel is ubuntu support, not xchat
[09:09] <blackshirt> ikonia, if my box become more slowly
[09:09] <ikonia> blackshirt: has it ?
[09:09] <ikonia> blackshirt: why do you think you're box will become slow because of a zombie process you don't even know what it is, and if you did know what it was wouldn't change anything
[09:10] <ikonia> blackshirt: if you want to clear it, reboot
[09:10] <blackshirt> ikonia, is good to know what the process is...? And what command to show the zombie?
[09:10] <ikonia> blackshirt: why is it good to know ? what good will it do you ?
[09:11] <MonkeyDust> blackshirt  there are plenty sites about zombie processes, here's one http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html
[09:11] <blackshirt> ikonia, i just want to know..if you don't want to help, it's no matter
[09:11] <tripelb> where do i get these things? i have extensively googled for days. .. condession, I see rhe word githib I have retreated. Thanks, the tech help level here is so good.
[09:11] <ikonia> blackshirt: if you are genuinly concerned about a zombie process, reboot

[09:27] <Anubis> i cant upgrade from K1110 to K1204.  can anyone help me ?
[09:28] <blazemore> How are you doing the upgrade Anubis ?

[09:30] <Anubis> 1. alt+f2: muon-updater and then i clicked on Install updates and waited to finish updating, BUT, for some reason it stopped responding at 100% in the final stage
[09:31] <Anubis> then i killed muon-updater from console, rebooted and i run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade from konsole
[09:31] <Anubis> then i rebooted again
[09:32] <IdleOne> Anubis: "sudo do-release-upgrade" will upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10
[09:33] <Anubis> i expected the notification that's tell me that a new version is available
[09:33] <IdleOne> Anubis: muon-update-manager may be set to LTS releases only.
[09:33] <IdleOne> Anubis: open Muon Update manager, click on settings -> Configure software sources, go to the updates tab and make sure to select normal releases
[09:34] <IdleOne> hmm, if it was set to LTS only then 12.04 should be offered
[09:34] <chovynz> llutz:  me wonders why do people scroll back to pickup words but not the explanations...removing join/hide messages from the stream helps :)
[09:35] <IdleOne> Anubis: in any case sudo do-release-upgrade will/should work.
[09:35] <Anubis> IdleOne: i'll give it a try
[09:35] <Anubis> thankyou

[09:42] <akis> i noticed that many extensions of chromium (Novell Moonlight included) give the alert that they 'can access all data in your computer and  the web sites you visit'. I read many opinions after googling a lot about it, but i didnt read any official opinion or any developer's opinion from ubuntu's site or any other distro. Any opinion from here would be appreciated if actually this scary warning is true or not and if in ubuntu special is possible an
[09:42] <akis> extension to make a 'hole' and get inside the system, or if this warning is just because an extension it would just use any file in the system outside chrome shell.
[09:45] <alexs_> ahar some sort of ~/.cache corruption

[10:24] <morgan> how can I disable the context menu from showinng up when I alt right click in a wine game that is full screen?
[10:28] <klpkt> Can anyone help me? Yesterday I spent about 7 hours trying to fix my internet on my computer, and now the current problem is that I can't get any network status or anything.
[10:30] <chovynz1> klpkt: i presume you are not on the computer which has the problem?
[10:31] <klpkt> chovynz1: You're right; I have another computer which is a little older, and which works. It also runs Windows, which might help, because the other computer can connect if I'm on the Windows part of it.
[10:32] <chovynz1> your other computer is an ubuntu machine?
[10:32] <addiks> hi, is there a way to automaticly execute a shell script after every update of a specific package?
[10:35] <chovynz> klpkt: what version of ubuntu is the problem machine?
[10:35] <klpkt> chovynz: Precise Pangolin (12.04)
[10:36] <vak> anyone knows how to activate love/hate buttons in Rhythmbox last.fm plugin?
[10:36] <chovynz> klpkt: how far have you got already? what have you tried? wired or wireless (also remember obvious things like, are the wires actually plugged in)
[10:37] <klpkt> chovynz: Well, yesterday I got help, firstly that I could see the networks, but couldn't connect, then that the DNS lookup failed, but right now, I can't even see any networks.
[10:38] <chovynz> klpkt: wired or wireless?
[10:38] <klpkt> chovynz: wireless
[10:38] <chovynz> klpkt: are you connected to the wireless?
[10:39] <chovynz> klpkt: i.e. can you ping the router?
[10:39] <klpkt> chovynz: No, I think the whole network thing has failed, because if I go into the settings, and then Network, it doesn't show up with anything.
[10:40] <beboj> help , network manager dont see any wireless networks and internal sierra gobi 2000 gsm modem either , under fluxbox
[10:40] <chovynz> klpkt: do you have much experience with any of these? networking, command line interface, ubuntu?
[10:41] <klpkt> chovynz: I have explored the CLI a little, and I know some more after yesterday's tries.
[10:43] <chovynz> klpkt: good start.
[10:47] <chovynz> klpkt: terminal > ifconfig
[10:48] <chovynz> please pastebin the result
[10:48] <chovynz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[10:48] <klpkt> chovynz: I was going to warn you that I can't pastebin because I don't have internet access. The other helpers have done the same mistake...
[10:48] <chovynz> lol
[10:49] <chovynz> ok, look for an wlan0 entry
[10:49] <bekks> klpkt: Then use an USB stick, e.g.
[10:49] <klpkt> chovynz: I'm sorry, but I don't have one...
[10:49] <bekks> klpkt: It isnt our mistake when you cant pastebin the easy way ;)
[10:50] <chovynz> klpkt: have you logged on the network?
[10:51] <klpkt> chovynz: No, I don't have any network access. When I reboot, it says that it is reading some kind of network file, and then apparently, it isn't able to.
[10:51] <chovynz> klpkt: but it was working yesterday, or when you installed it?
[10:53] <klpkt> chovynz: It was working until yesterday morning, and at about 3pm my time, I started trying to fix it. At 8pm or something, I finally got it to work, but then, when I had rebooted, it couldn't read the file.
[10:53] <chovynz> klpkt: how are you accessing the internet with your windows machine?
[10:54] <klpkt> chovynz: I have wireless access to the router on it.
[10:54] <chovynz> so both machines are wireless and the ubuntu machine is not communicating?
[10:55] <klpkt> chovynz: Yes
[10:56] <klpkt> chovynz: I think that would be right
[10:56] <chovynz> klpkt: please describe the machine as much as yuo can. laptop/desktop
[10:56] <guest-sDkZc6__> guys, how do i make live usb?
[10:56] <chovynz> etcetc
[10:57] <jn_> Hey trying to build apache lenya and I get an error telling me to issue "build clean-all" command, but can't figure out how to do that
[10:57] <klpkt> chovynz: The machine is a laptop, by Samsung, I don't know which type of Samsung, but I think it's a netbook or something like it.
[10:57] <chovynz> !live| guest-sDkZc6__:

[10:58] <ademone> its easy to use
[10:59] <mschr> hi guys, i recently ran system upgrade on my asus laptop which i have 3 screen outputs connected to
[10:59] <chovynz> klpkt: can you get the model or serial number from the  base of the laptop?
[10:59] <mschr> 1) LVDS 2) CRT1 and 3) DFP1 (hdmi).. When i try starting up the laptop panel, i have a screen output which is 'on' but backlight is not
[11:00] <klpkt> chovynz: NP700Z5C
[11:00] <mschr> normal reboot does not turn backlight on again - a shutdown is required to do so.. And once i get back into X the HDMI takes precedence
[11:02] <jn_> bekks http://pastebin.com/iaXBatYu
[11:03] <chovynz> klpkt: do you have a switch or something physical to turn the wireless on or off? If you do, is the switch in the ON position?
[11:04] <wutix> hi
[11:04] <mschr> so, how to force backlight leds to turn on in a laptop panel?
[11:04] <martinjlowm> So I copied over contents of the Ubuntu .iso image to an USB. Syslinux is already set up on the device, so I manually boot the initramfs. However X is not started. How would I start X manually from the initramfs shell?
[11:05] <klpkt> chovynz: Well, I do have a button for switching it on/off, but it for some reason doesn't work in ubuntu, which means that it's always on. The light indicator is on, and nothing happens if I press it.
[11:05] <guest-sDkZc6__> chovynz when i try to make liveusb it asks admin permissions, and amt i cant access it Oo
[11:06] <chovynz> guest-sDkZc6__ sorry, im helping klpkt at the moment
[11:07] <chovynz> klpkt: well now we know that your machine is physically capable of it. do you know the ip address of your router?
[11:07] <klpkt> chovynz: Yes.
[11:08] <chovynz> open a terminal in ubuntu and ping that ip
[11:10] <hellothere> i don't know if this is related or not
[11:10] <hellothere> what is the best way to build my own android tablet? FPGA ARM or what..?
[11:11] <vak> Does anyone know how to activate love/hate buttons in Rhythmbox last.fm plugin?
[11:12] <beboj> hi, Im desperated ubuntu 12.04 user + fluxbox , and I have annoying problem with internal wireless gsm modem ,qualcomm sierra 5620.None of this program wvdial,network manager can work with this device.I used this little how to with drivers - http://securit.se/en/2012/03/guide-sa-har-far-du-gobi-2000-wireless-modem-att-fungera-ubuntu-12-04/ but nothing :( lsusb see modem.
[11:13] <olund> yo
[11:13] <chovynz> klpkt: where are you up to mate?
[11:14] <klpkt> chovynz: I have answered you: yes, I do know the IP.
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> hellothere  ask in #android, some 400 people there
[11:14] <chovynz> klpkt: open a terminal in ubuntu and ping that ip
[11:15] <olund> Anyone knows a guide for styling awesome
[11:15] <klpkt> chovynz: Okay, it pinged, and got 56(84) bytes of data, and then gets a lot of Destination Host Unreachable
[11:15] <Calinou> hi, how can i change screen brightness on xubuntu 12.04?
[11:15] <Calinou> there's no menu for that
[11:16] <Calinou> and xbacklight just doesn't work
[11:16] <Calinou> (laptop)
[11:16] <crizis^> Calinou, doesn't your laptop have shortcut keys for that..?
[11:16] <chovynz> klpkt: is your router set to factory default (and obviously with your isp settings...what im asking is there is no filtering out of your mac address is there?)
[11:17] <mschr> calinou ive got exact same problem
[11:17] <olund> Anyone knows a guide for styling awesome?
[11:17] <Calinou> crizis^: they do nothing
[11:17] <newzi> olund: Yeah, good style man
[11:17] <Calinou> end+f7 = nothing, end+f8 = nothing
[11:17] <klpkt> chovynz: Its MAC filter is disabled.
[11:18] <olund> newzi: where can i find a guide, im new to Awesome
[11:18] <klpkt> Calinou: But I think that the problem is with the machine itself; that it can't connect to anything at all.
[11:18] <newzi> olund: Goto 4chan.org/b its awesome there
[11:18] <chovynz> klpkt: cool. have you tried creating a wireless network using the tools in the menus?
[11:18] <Calinou> k1l_: no; there is a brightness menu in ubuntu (with unity)
[11:18] <klpkt> chovynz: How do I do that?
[11:18] <Calinou> my brightness also resetted every time I rebooted since ubuntu 11.10
[11:19] <olund> newzi: hahaha
[11:19] <chovynz> klpkt: dash menu > apps > network tools
[11:19] <hellothere> i don't understand the licenese of android OS usage, is it completly free?
[11:19] <mschr> calinou what does "xbacklight -get" output?
[11:19] <jrib> !ot | hellothere
[11:19] <newzi> olund: haha, But what did you want styleing for?
[11:19] <Calinou> No outputs have backlight property
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> hellothere  ask in #android, some 400 people there
[11:19] <Calinou> sorry, but I do have a screen with backlight
[11:20] <olund> newzi: wait a sec
[11:20] <Calinou> hellothere: hahaha, free, sure...
[11:20] <chovynz> klpkt: under devices > network device > can you see a wlan?
[11:20] <hellothere> thanks guys, i will ask there
[11:20] <crizis^> hellothere, kernel is GPL, android base classes/runtime are apache 2.0 license and usually some drivers on handsets are vendors proprietary ones
[11:20] <mschr> hmm guess i must try the opensourced ati driver
[11:21] <klpkt> chovynz: Do you mean as in the Network device drop-down menu?
[11:21] <jrib> hellothere: there's also #android
[11:21] <chovynz> klpkt: yes
[11:21] <mschr> calinou this is what i stumbled upon so far : http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/319886-backlight-problems.html
[11:21] <klpkt> chovynz: Yes, there is a Wireless Interface (wlan0) option.
[11:22] <newzi> !upstart  | jrib
[11:22] <jrib> newzi: :x
[11:22] <chovynz> klpkt: what is the information displayed down the base, when you select it?
[11:22] <newzi> Sorry I was just testing piping
[11:23] <klpkt> chovynz: In the Interface Information: Hardware address: c4:85:08:02:ca:fb; Multicast: Enabled; MTU: 1500; Link speed: not available; State: Active.
[11:23] <olund> newzi: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17331255/my_desktop.png
[11:23] <olund> newzi: what should i do to get something like that
[11:24] <chovynz> klpkt: can you move your mouse up to the top right and click on the wireless icon?
[11:24] <klpkt> chovynz: There is no wireless icon there...
[11:24] <chovynz> klpkt: what about the up/down arrows?
[11:25] <newzi> olund: You mean a theme?
[11:25] <klpkt> chovynz: What do you mean?
[11:25] <olund> newzi: yes
[11:25] <chovynz> klpkt: nevermind. please configure your wlan0 interface
[11:25] <newzi> !theme | olund
[11:26] <klpkt> chovynz: What shall I configure?
[11:26] <chovynz> klpkt: are you still in the wireless interface drop down menu via network devices?
[11:27] <klpkt> chovynz: Yes
[11:27] <chovynz> klpkt: click configure
[11:27] <klpkt> chovynz: Okay
[11:27] <chovynz> switch to wireless connection tab
[11:28] <rhel> Hi
[11:28] <Duality> been messing around with my sound output device's (in gui) and now i got static/noise in my audio, even when not playing a thing ...
[11:28] <chovynz> klpkt: do you know the ssid of the router wireless network?
[11:28] <klpkt> chovynz: Yes
[11:29] <chovynz> klpkt: what is displayed in teh wireless tab?
[11:29] <klpkt> chovynz: Nothing
[11:29] <chovynz> klpkt: add one, filling out the details of the wireless network. SSID, any security passphrase that it might have.
[11:30] <olund> ubottu: That has nothing to do with the WM awesome?
[11:30] <olund> oh lol
[11:30] <klpkt> chovynz: I can't configure anything.
[11:30] <chovynz> klpkt: why not?
[11:30] <klpkt> chovynz: I don't know; everything's locked!
[11:31] <chovynz> klpkt: what do you mean by everything? what specifically and in what window?
[11:32] <klpkt> chovynz: Every single input box and drop-down is greyed out and locked, in the Add connection window.
[11:32] <chovynz> klpkt: does your account on ubuntu have any permission or is it a guest account?
[11:33] <mschr> so, with xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver and 'radeon' in xorg.conf - i get a responsive cloned output. Any shortcuts for setting it up as a bigdesktop?
[11:33] <klpkt> chovynz: It is an administrator account
[11:33] <mschr> also, the new edge-menu is showing a black bar with no icons in it
[11:33] <mschr> tooltips shows though and onclick starts what im pointing at (behind black bar)
[11:34] <chovynz> klpkt: live-cd or hd installation?
[11:34] <klpkt> chovynz: A copy of the live-cd, that my friend gave me
[11:34] <chovynz> klpkt: you are running ubuntu off the cd as live-cd?
[11:35] <klpkt> chovynz: No, I have installed it, with a Multi-boot alongside Windows.
[11:35] <Calinou> so, anyone knows? any way to have some kind of menu to set brightness like in unity, or should I change DE?
[11:36] <chovynz> klpkt: im struggling to understand why an hd installation, with an admin account doesn't let you do this.
[11:36] <mschr> calinou i bet its due to change of kernel
[11:37] <klpkt> chovynz: Yeah, so do I, but I think it has something to do with that network file.
[11:37] <chovynz> network file?
[11:38] <chovynz> klpkt: network file?
[11:39] <ole01> Hi. Ubuntu (12.04 x64) on my ultrabook does not recognize, when I (dis-)connect the power supply, so it's not changing to powersaving mode when loosing power supply. Furthermore it's not going in supend mode when closing the lid.
[11:39] <Calinou> mschr: it worked just fine back in ubuntu 11.04
[11:39] <Calinou> :|
[11:39] <Calinou> at least with unity I can change it
[11:40] <ole01> When I boot without acpi it's automatically dimming the brightness when disconnecting the supply, but I do not have a battery status anymore.
[11:40] <mschr> reason why i havent upgraded since 10.11 - untill today :)
[11:40] <billc> u can set it in power
[11:41] <klpkt> chovynz: Yeah, when I start my computer, it says that it's "Waiting for network configuration", and after a while, "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..."
[11:41] <chovynz> please terminal and type, iwconfig
[11:41] <chovynz> klpkt: iwconfig
[11:43] <Anubis> i just upgraded from K11.10 to K12.04 and now my desktop is not responding.it takes a couple of minutes until my menu appears (p4@3.0ghz/2500 MB Ram/128MB nvidia 6600gt).
[11:43] <jilt007> Internet connection is not working in my system , i checked default gateway  is  not listed in  ip ro ls   when i tried to add it it is sayiing no sources  or something like no NETLINK
[11:43] <Anubis> do you think that's because of my video card ?
[11:43] <jilt007> Please have a guide to me
[11:44] <klpkt> chovynz: lo    no wireless extensions      wlan0   IEEE 802.11abgn   ESSID:off/any   Mode:Managed   Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=15dBm   Retry long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off   Power Management:on      eth0   no wireless extensions.
[11:45] <chovynz> is your wireless network hidden?
[11:46] <chovynz> klpkt: ^
[11:46] <klpkt> chovynz: No
[11:46] <chovynz> klpkt: what is the icon next to your volume icon?
[11:47] <klpkt> chovynz: bluetooth on the left side, clock on the right
[11:47] <chovynz> klpkt: and how far away is your ubuntu from the router?
[11:48] <klpkt> chovynz: About 10 meters, I think
[11:48] <llutz> klpkt: if you configured your network using /etc/network/interfaces it will be ignored by networkmanager and you cannot change anything related using the applet. so either configure /etc/network/interfaces correct OR use networkmanager
[11:48] <Eagleman> Why did /dev/sdc1 changed to /dev/sdd1 ?
[11:49] <coder_> hello
[11:49] <klpkt> llutz: Well, how is the correct one?
[11:49] <coder_> i got some error after update the ubuntu
[11:49] <coder_> to kenel .31
[11:49] <coder_> such as firefox can't start
[11:50] <llutz> klpkt: i guess genii-around told you yesterday. you need to configure wpasuplicant etc.pp with all settings related to your wifi-network
[11:50] <nbubuntu> hi anyone know which application which can create tempo sound code ? for old nokia type phone
[11:50] <mschr> eagleman for fstab, use UUID - check ls /dev/disk/by-uuid
[11:50] <Eagleman> mschr thanks
[11:50] <wishin_master> chovynz: i think klpkt's system is set to boot from a network card in bios but the network card is disabled in the bios. what is the output of "lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4" in terminal klpkt? does it show your network card like "03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)"
[11:50] <coder_> ibus-daemon can't start
[11:50] <coder_> weather indicator can't start
[11:50] <chovynz> wishin_master: yeah
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> nbubuntu  create or convert?
[11:51] <coder_> can anyone tell me what i have to do :-(
[11:51] <blackshirt> what is ibus
[11:51] <llutz> wishin_master: according to iwconfig he has an working wlan0-device
[11:51] <klpkt> wishin_master: There is no output.
[11:51] <coder_> ibus is intelligent input bus
[11:51] <jilt007> i have converted video to audio file using ffmpeg, but please tell me how to cut a specific part of the audio. Please tell the command

[11:52] <bamarni> on the top right of my screen, when I left click on the current time, it opens a tab with the calendar telling me it's friday 21st september, this is wrong it's 22nd saturday now, it pisses me off it's not the first time it happens, why can't I trust ubuntu for such a basic thing??? The date is properly configured as 22 but it shows up 21....
[11:52] <Eagleman> mschr any idea how to see the uid?
[11:52] <nbubuntu> MonkeyDust : create , those tempo for old nokia phone ringtone http://www.oocities.org/zaphran007/howtocompose.htm
[11:52] <chovynz> wishin_master: i thought that might be the case too, but i dont think so now. im struggling to come up with more useful stuff, really
[11:53] <mschr> eagleman $ blkid /dev/sXYZ
[11:53] <wishin_master> llutz: klpkt system is trying to boot from a network thats why it says wating for network configuration when it boots up. i somehow feel that it has something to do with pci devices in bios.
[11:53] <mschr> or add -l to that ls i gave you
[11:53] <chovynz> llutz: wishin_master would this work for him? sudo service network-manager restart it sounds like someone has fiddled with something
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> nbubuntu  there's #nokia, but only 1 person there
[11:54] <jilt007> Any One have idea?
[11:54] <Eagleman> not sure if its /dev/sdd1 or /dev/sdd
[11:54] <llutz> chovynz: no
[11:55] <nbubuntu> MonkeyDust : :-(
[11:55] <llutz> chovynz: if he configured wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces it will be ignored by networkmanager, yo might restart it as often as you like
[11:55] <mschr> eagleman ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sdd
[11:55] <chovynz> llutz: yeah.
[11:55] <Eagleman> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 22 13:42 aafd3397-9525-43b6-a9ec-dc796f4f9b71 -> ../../sdd1

[11:56] <MonkeyDust> nbubuntu  ^^^
[11:56] <Eagleman> so which sdd should i take?
[11:56] <Eagleman> same which is mounted on fstab>
[11:56] <chovynz> llutz: would wicd help klpkt?
[11:57] <llutz> Eagleman: /dev/sdd is the drive, /dev/sdd1 the partition. so /dev/sdd1 most likely
[11:57] <mschr> eagleman http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/321/fstab-with-uuid/
[11:58] <llutz> chovynz: why should he use anything else? either he removes the config from /etc/network/interfaces and uses networkmanager or he corrects /etc/network/interfaces to get it working
[11:58] <mschr> you use fstab to mount partitions to their mountpoints within the / filesystem
[11:59] <chovynz> llutz: i think he needs to know what to configure it to. someone has given him instructions and he is not able to replicate them
[11:59] <Eagleman> aaha, thanks, didnt knew about the UUID''s
[11:59] <llutz> chovynz: iirc he got it working yesterday, so the question is, why doesn't it work today
[11:59] <chovynz> after rebooting.
[12:00] <Eagleman> Do they UID''s change when you reinstall the OS and remount another/same harddisk?
[12:00] <llutz> klpkt: chovynz _my_ advice would be: remove the config from /etc/network/interfaces, reboot and setup networkmanager using the applet
[12:00] <chovynz> llutz: i agree :)
[12:00] <mschr> eagleman unless you repartition it - no, they stick to the harddisk
[12:01] <Eagleman> ok, thanks aigan
[12:01] <chovynz> klpkt: do you know how to do that?
[12:01] <klpkt> so sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces, and remove the things I put in yesterday?
[12:01] <Eagleman> re aaadding everything in the fstab file WITH the UUID''s
[12:01] <blackshirt> for the desktop,maybe better relies on network-manager configuration
[12:01] <llutz> klpkt: id comment them out, putting # in front of those lines
[12:03] <klpkt> llutz: chovynz Okay, now I'm back at the DNS lookup failing.
[12:04] <llutz> klpkt: you can setup dns in the nm-applet too
[12:04] <llutz> klpkt: ipv4-settings or something like that
[12:04] <mschr> should auto resolv.conf
[12:05] <Duality> jeej i fixed my issue with static noise on speakers ...
[12:05] <Duality> opend alsamixer and disabled spdif
[12:05] <klpkt> llutz: genii-around told me yesterday to put in 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server, but it still doesn't work
[12:05] <chovynz> ...
[12:05] <llutz> klpkt: you need a local-dns?
[12:05] <mschr> klpkt call dhclient wlanX
[12:06] <mschr> give us "cat /etc/resolv.conf" output after
[12:06] <Eagleman> After rebooting with this i cant connect anymore:
[12:06] <Eagleman> UUID=666a8b99-bc30-418b-b02a-5f8b06d3a761 /media/harddisks/data         ext3    defaults                0       2

[12:06] <klpkt> mschr: When I called dhclient, it said Operation not permitted
[12:06] <Eagleman> any idea about what could be wrong
[12:06] <mschr> sudo
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> 'sudo' is normally needed befor any 'system' type commands
[12:07] <yeats> Eagleman: there should be log messages in /var/log/syslog about that
[12:08] <klpkt> Dr_Willis: Oh, I forgot that...
[12:09] <Eagleman> yeats my ubuntu refuses to start in any way
[12:09] <Eagleman> i did dis-upgrade
[12:09] <Eagleman> and now it is fucked
[12:09] <klpkt> mschr: nameserver 193.213.112.4    nameserver 130.67.15.198    nameserver 10.0.0.138    search lan
[12:10] <yeats> Eagleman: did you back up the original /etc/fstab?
[12:10] <Eagleman> all it shows is a flickering _
[12:10] <mschr> klpkt route -n  (line that starts with 0.0.0.0 and has wlan in it)
[12:10] <Eagleman> yeats i did not changed the / UUID
[12:10] <Eagleman> i bet it has something to do with dist-upgrade
[12:10] <beboj> Can someone help with my internal gsm sierra gobi 2000 modem ?????
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> it would be weird that a dist-upgrade altered the fstab
[12:11] <Eagleman> no
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> Eagleman:  can you mount those partions by hand?
[12:11] <Eagleman> i changed something in fstab
[12:11] <Eagleman> and i also did dist-upgrade
[12:11] <Eagleman> and i think dist-upgrade ruined my ubuntu machine
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> boot a live cd, check your fstab, the uuid of the disks, and if you can access them
[12:11] <klpkt> mschr: Destination 0.0.0.0   Gateway 10.0.0.138   Genmask 0.0.0.0   Flags UG   Metric 0   Ref 0   Use 0    Iface wlan0
[12:11] <mschr> eagleman CTRL+ALT+F1
[12:11] <Eagleman> mschr in where?
[12:12] <Eagleman> All in can see when booted is a flickering _
[12:12] <mschr> eagleman should give you local login in console
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> Eagleman:  such conclusions are unfounded..  determine whats wrong and fix it.. I have never seen any updates/upgrades touch my fstab
[12:12] <Eagleman> Dr_Willis who says its some problem in fstab?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> Eagleman:  what exactly happens when you try to boot?
[12:12] <mschr> i bet the flashing _ is the CTRL+ALT+F7 tty (graphical)
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> a flashing _ is commnn with driver issues.
[12:12] <Eagleman> Dr_Willis BIOS> flickering _
[12:13] <mschr> klpkt thing is, your route most often simple does DNS for you, the router is positioned at 10.0.0.138?
[12:13] <yeats> oh "BIOS" means you didn't even get to Ubuntu
[12:13] <klpkt> mschr: Yes
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> start with  adding the nomodeset option to your boot line in the grub enu
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[12:13] <mschr> klpkt if so, try and edit resolv.conf, leaving only 'nameserver 10.0.0.138'
[12:14] <mschr> klpkt check with e.g. nslookup www.google.dk
[12:14] <klpkt> mschr: It works now! Thanks to all of you! Let's just hope it stays that way.
[12:14] <Eagleman> Which livecd should i use?
[12:15] <klpkt> I'm going to reboot to make sure
[12:15] <chovynz> klpkt: try to reboot while ...yeah :)
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Try the Grub nomodeset option first eagleman
[12:15] <mschr> klpkt should work with 'auto' under DNS in the nm-applet settings (network manager in system tray)
[12:15] <Eagleman> how?
[12:15] <Eagleman> i cant even load ubuntu
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset > eagleman
[12:15] <yeats> Eagleman: easiest if you use an Ubuntu installer CD (but listen to Dr_Willis )
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> it a GRUB option you use at the grub menu...
[12:16] <klpkt> mschr: It works, even after rebooting! Thanks a lot to everyone!

[12:22] <MediaWork>  without typing into google "what is my ip addres?"
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> marky_boi:  you copy  your apps whatever.desktop file to the auto run dir. or make a script, or a link to run whatever it is you want

[12:32] <chovynz> :), recursively find and rename any directory that has spaces so that underscore replaces the spaces.
[12:32] <chovynz> jrib: ^
[12:32] <jrib> chovynz: just use the "rename" command
[12:33] <chovynz> im making a shell script so that it will search through a backup of a windows machine.
[12:34] <chovynz> i want to get to renaming all files that has spaces, and directories. space gets replaced with underscore
[12:34] <jrib> chovynz: I understand.  I suggest using the "rename" command
[12:35] <chovynz> jrib:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220447/ this is where im up to atm with the help of someone else.
[12:35] <usr13> chovynz: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' *
[12:35] <jrib> chovynz: you can do all this in a single line.  Enable the globstar option and then use rename
[12:36] <chovynz> usr13: can you explain what is happening there?
[12:36] <chovynz> jrib: globstar?
[12:37] <chovynz> !globstar | chovynz
[12:37] <usr13> chovynz: Yea, it removes spaces in all file names, (current directory).
[12:37] <jrib> chovynz: that way you can use "**" to recursively glob.  I would do this: shopt -t globstar; rename -n 'y/ /_/' **     (in the right directory of course)
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> globstar is  bash setting/feature
[12:38] <jrib> erm
[12:38] <jrib> chovynz: I meant "shopt -s globstar", not "shopt -t globstar"
[12:38] <usr13> chovynz:  rename "s/ *//g" *
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> theres dozens of exammple scripts//commands to convert spaces to _ in names.
[12:39] <chovynz> there may be, but im having trouble finding them
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> I normally make up several dependong on what i want. space to _ or space to -  or space to Nothing. ;)
[12:40] <chovynz> i manned shopt. jrib what does it do?
[12:40] <melkor> wow, last night I used an external drive with ext4 on it, today gparted sees it as unknown.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> i just googled for 'bash convert space in filenames'  linuxquestion.org had several
[12:40] <jrib> chovynz: try "help shopt"
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> qmv is a neat command to help you in renaming a lot of fancy goofy names into somthing saner also.
[12:41] <chovynz> ah, shopt = shell options
[12:41] <chovynz> of course
[12:43] <chovynz> so using rename -n might be a good way to test?
[12:43] <jrib> chovynz: yes
[12:43] <melkor> Is there anyway to recover my ext4 partition?
[12:43] <chovynz> is unix cli in perl?
[12:43] <BluesKaj> melkor, you label the drive to some other name with gparted since it is listed
[12:43] <usr13> chovynz: The first one I gave you replaces the spaces with _ (underscores), and I like that one best.
[12:44] <bekks> melkor: What happened to it?
[12:44] <melkor> bekks: not a clue, last night it worked and today only the ntfs partitions are still alive.
[12:44] <usr13> chovynz: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' * #Replaces spaces with _
[12:44] <BluesKaj> melkor, but run sudo blkid first
[12:44] <bekks> melkor: run sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid
[12:45] <usr13> chovynz: rename "s/ *//g" *  #Just crams everything together.
[12:45] <chovynz> usr13: i would rather underscores too
[12:46] <chovynz> why would this be?
[12:46] <melkor> bekks: still doesn't find the partition.
[12:46] <chovynz> usr13:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220462/  why has it only renamed one, when it found more?
[12:47] <chovynz> oh
[12:47] <chovynz> because the other two are hidden
[12:48] <bekks> melkor: Then pastebin the output of sudo blkid please
[12:48] <chovynz> how do i rename hidden dirs?
[12:48] <bekks> chovynz: The same way you rename other dirs.
[12:49] <chovynz> bekks then why didn't this work?
[12:49] <chovynz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220462/
[12:49] <llutz> chovynz: randomly renaming dirs might break things, if you don't change the configuration of the program owning it
[12:49] <bekks> chovynz: Everything in there worked. What are you trying to do very exactly, and why?
[12:50] <melkor> http://pastie.org/4780021
[12:50] <Eagleman7> Dr_Willis when i reboot my machine without the usb disk attached
[12:50] <melkor> bekks: ^
[12:50] <Eagleman7> it will start asking about it and hen i press S to skip it will boot
[12:50] <L3top> s=substitute  /=begin looking for pattern  (space)*=a space and anything following it  /=separate look for pattern and replace with pattern  /=end replace pattern. If nothing is between the separator and end replace, then replaces with nothing .  g=globally
[12:50] <Eagleman7> however when attaching the disk it will only show me a blinking _
[12:50] <Eagleman7> and not booting
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> eagleman sounds like you got a entryin the fstab for the removeable disk. i would comment it out
[12:51] <L3top> 's/ *//g' I would think that this would not cram everything together, but delete a space and everything after it.
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> or use the noauto option for it
[12:51] <klpkt> Okay, now I'm back again... Why does my machine hate me so? Now it says that it can't reach the website. I suspect that the page I tried the connection on was cached, and that's why I could access it.
[12:51] <bekks> melkor: And which partition is missing from your point of view?
[12:51] <Eagleman7> what is wrong with adding a usb disk in the fstb file?
[12:52] <jrib> chovynz: why do you want to do this?
[12:52] <HaikuVbox> Eagleman7: it assumes it will be there every mount
[12:52] <melkor> sdc6
[12:52] <Eagleman7> it used to work but after adding the UUID it stopped working
[12:52] <usr13> klpkt: host av.com  #What does that tell you?
[12:52] <Eagleman7> So what does no auto do?
[12:52] <melkor> bekks: gparted claims that sdc6 is unknown file system of 101G last night it was ext4.
[12:52] <bekks> melkor: Then pastebin sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc please
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> 'noauto' tells it to not mount it aty boot time
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> but when the user tells it to
[12:53] <guest-5ZV6yj> hello. I have a problem with live cd. Yesterday i ruined my user so i cant access it anymore. Now id like to run a livecd and rename home folder
[12:53] <chovynz> llutz, bekks, jrib, usr13: i have a backup of a windows machine. there are many folders and files that have spaces (over 40k). I want to replace (thank you L3top) the spaces with underscores. recursively. After making a shell script to find, replace file, then find replace dirname,  I would browse to the top of the backup, (in this case /etc/www/usb) and start the shell script.
[12:53] <guest-5ZV6yj> but dont know ho
[12:53] <klpkt> usr13: Host av.com not found: 5(REFUSED)
[12:54] <Eagleman7> well it is allways attached
[12:54] <melkor> http://pastie.org/4780033
[12:54] <jrib> chovynz: but what you pastebinned suggests that you are executing the script in your HOME
[12:54] <HaikuVbox> guest-5ZV6yj: greetings (minixvbox here)
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> you just said you removed it....
[12:54] <chovynz> jrib: that is a test script
[12:54] <usr13> klpkt: It's not resolving domain names.  Does it have an IP?  ifconfig
[12:54] <guest-5ZV6yj> HaikuVbox:  oh hey man :)
[12:54] <Eagleman7> to test something
[12:54] <klpkt> usr13: Yes
[12:54] <melkor> I don't think sdc4 was an extended partition before.
[12:55] <Eagleman7> crontab should make backups on that disk every wednesday
[12:55] <jrib> chovynz: so what's left for you to do?
[12:55] <bekks> melkor: So what have you done then? :)
[12:55] <llutz> chovynz: you got the command, just start renaming
[12:55] <melkor> bekks: I have no clue, at the worste I unplugged it w/out ejecting the device.
[12:55] <Eagleman7> so when i add noauto to fstab and i reboot it is not mounted and i have to execute mount -a to mount it?
[12:56] <usr13> klpkt: ifconfig |grep cast  #What does it say?
[12:56] <melkor> bekks: oh, I turned off the computer with the device plugged in and then unplugged it.
[12:56] <bekks> melkor: That wont change the partitioning scheme.
[12:56] <L3top> chovynz: find /path/to/parent/dir -name "* *" -type f | rename 's/ /_/g'
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> -a = auto. you mmount it via its name/path
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> not -a
[12:56] <bekks> melkor: And it was ext4 yesterday?
[12:56] <L3top> chovynz: that will do so recursively... if you only want the one directory add -maxdepth 1
[12:56] <klpkt> usr13: inet addr:10.0.0.107  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
[12:57] <usr13> klpkt: route -n  #And tell us what's at the bottom of the Gateway collum?
[12:57] <L3top> chovynz: change -f to -d for directory names
[12:57] <melkor> oh yeah, my wireless card drops me quite often too.
[12:58] <klpkt> usr13: Both entries show 0.0.0.0
[12:58] <usr13> klpkt: It doesn't show 10.0.0.1 ?
[12:58] <klpkt> usr13: No
[12:58] <chovynz> L3top: is there some way i can test this, before running on my 40k+ folder?
[12:58] <usr13> klpkt: is this wired connection?  eth0?
[12:58] <jrib> chovynz: use rename with -n...
[12:58] <klpkt> usr13: It is wlan0
[12:59] <llutz> chovynz: rename -n   to simulate
[12:59] <usr13> klpkt: sudo dhclient wlan0
[12:59] <bekks> melkor: sdc6 was ext4 yesterday?
[12:59] <melkor> bekks: it could have been sdc4
[12:59] <klpkt> usr13: It returns nothing. Is it supposed to?
[12:59] <L3top> good call llutz.
[13:00] <bekks> melkor: No.
[13:00] <usr13> klpkt: route -n  #Again. And tell us what's at the bottom of the Gateway collum?
[13:00] <bekks> melkor: Powering off NEVER changes the partitioning scheme.
[13:00] <melkor> bekks: I used fsck.ext4 on /dev/sdc6 and it seems to have repair something, right now it is checking for bad sectors though.
[13:00] <klpkt> usr13: Now there are four columns, the three bottom ones still show 0.0.0.0, the top one show my router's IP
[13:01] <usr13> klpkt: host av.com
[13:01] <chovynz> L3top: llutz usr13 thanks bloody awesome. thanks for your help
[13:01] <rek_> hello i don't remember how to hear the sound in xawtv....   i used arecord or something
[13:01] <compdoc> melkor, if the drive has bad sectors, they will already be recorded in SMART. Use the Disk Utility to see the drive's health
[13:02] <pocata> People have a problem my computer was made to include from the start button and the power button stopped by because when you pull it from the start button and the screen stops working computer but I decided to clean it and now when I go there myself one stopped him from start button
[13:02] <klpkt> usr13: Now it says to different addresses to av.com, and then that av.com is handled by av1-mrin.yahoo.com and av2-mrin.yahoo.com
[13:02] <usr13> klpkt: Ok, it's fixed.
[13:03] <usr13> klpkt: (we queried the router's dhcp server for IP information, and got it.)
[13:03] <klpkt> usr13: You're right! Now to reboot again to check...
[13:03] <klpkt> usr13: Or is it certain that it is permanent?
[13:03] <pocata> help me please
[13:04] <usr13> klpkt: No.  We don't know why it didn't connect.  Maybe the network-manager just had a one time malfunction tho...
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> pocata:  i reread that twice... and makes no sence...
[13:05] <Eagleman> Dr_Willis, I am using the usb disk as backup disk, 99% of the time it is attached to the machine, thats why i tought it would be usefull to add it in the fstab file so i dont have to mount it myself every reboot
[13:05] <klpkt> usr13: The DNS lookup failed... This just never ends!
[13:05] <melkor> compdoc: I just ran fsck using the options provided on this website, I would like to stop the scan.
[13:05] <rek_> help
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> eeagleman then when its unplugged you hit S to skip mounting it
[13:05] <usr13> klpkt: Do you have the wlan0 interface set to automatically connect to the essid of your router's AP?
[13:05] <Eagleman> But since adding it now, and rebooting the machine, results in not booting i detached it
[13:05] <usr13> route -n |grep UG
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> eagleman it is booting.. and asking you to hit S.
[13:06] <usr13> klpkt: route -n |grep UG  #Is the second number your router's IP?
[13:06] <Eagleman> When i start ubuntu without the disk it says hit S....,  And when adding the disk it would only show a blinking _ and not loading ubuntu at all
[13:06] <usr13> klpkt: Did you reboot?
[13:06] <klpkt> usr13: Yes
[13:07] <rek_> Dr_Willis, how can i hear the sound with xawtv i used arecor.... or something but i'm no more able
[13:07] <Eagleman> So why is it showing me the blinking _ ?
[13:07] <klpkt> usr13: On the last question
[13:07] <usr13> klpkt: Do you have the wlan0 interface set to automatically connect to the essid of your router's AP?
[13:07] <klpkt> usr13: How do I check that?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> eagleman try using the text option, sounds like  you may have other errors that are not being seen
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> !text
[13:07] <usr13> klpkt: In the network manager, see that you have it set correctly.
[13:08] <Eagleman> I cant look back in my logs what happened?
[13:08] <melkor> would it be bad to hit ctrl-c while fdisk is running?
[13:08] <usr13> klpkt: Or you can just add line to /etc/rc.local
[13:08] <klpkt> usr13: Yes, the checkbox for connect automatically is checked
[13:08] <usr13> klpkt: dhclient wlan0
[13:08] <HaikuVbox> melkor: very likely yes
[13:09] <Eagleman> http://pastebin.com/wR0t0sP6
[13:09] <HaikuVbox> melkor: you'd likely corrupt a filesystem
[13:09] <usr13> klpkt: sudo dhclient wlan0  #Gets you connected.  Right?
[13:09] <klpkt> usr13: Correct!
[13:09] <klpkt> usr13: Do I have to enter that every time I reboot?
[13:09] <usr13> klpkt: If so.  Just add a line to /etc/rc.local                 dhclient wlan0
[13:10] <usr13> klpkt: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[13:10] <alex-> How can I install my scanner in ubuntu>
[13:11] <usr13> alex-: Just run simplescan
[13:11] <alex-> Printing works fine. I added the printer with the CUPS web-interface (localhost:631), but I have no idea how to add the printer as a scanner
[13:11] <klpkt> usr13: When I entered it in the terminal, I had to add sudo at the start of the line. Do I have to add it in the file too?
[13:11] <alex-> usr13: Simplescan says that I don't have a scanner
[13:11] <usr13> alex-: Just run simple-scan
[13:11] <alex-> usr13: Simplescan says that I don't have a scanner
[13:11] <usr13> alex-: What is make and model?
[13:11] <alex-> Brother MFC-J6510DW
[13:12] <usr13> klpkt: No.  Do not add sudo.  just  "dhclient wlan0"
[13:12] <alex-> I already installed some packages which would be suffient
[13:12] <alex-> from brother.nl/linux
[13:12] <klpkt> usr13: And now it will work when I reboot too?
[13:12] <alex-> editted /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and added the brother to it
[13:12] <usr13> klpkt: Yes.  (We think.)
[13:12] <layke__> Is it sed? That I use for changing something in a file? I have a file that has "bind 127.0.0.1" on a line. I want to change it to "# bind 127.0.0.1"
[13:13] <klpkt> usr13: Okay, thanks! I'll come back if it doesn't.
[13:13] <usr13> klpkt: tail -n1 /etc/rc.local  #Does it say:  dhclient wlan0 ?
[13:14] <klpkt> usr13: I rebooted, and now the DNS lookup failed.
[13:14] <usr13> klpkt: I think we added the line in the wrong place.
[13:15] <klpkt> usr13: It does say dhclient wlan0, though.
[13:15] <usr13> klpkt: What is the last line in the /etc/rc.local file?
[13:15] <llutz> layke__: sed -i 's/^bind/# bind/' yourfile
[13:15] <usr13> klpkt: Or, what is above the line you added?
[13:15] <chovynz> L3top: why would this be happening?         Can't rename /var/www/usb/Audio Adrenaline/8 Great Hits /var/www/usb/Audio_Adrenaline/8_Great_Hits: No such file or directory     this is after running find /var/www/usb -name "* *" -type d | rename 's/ /_/g'^C
[13:16] <klpkt> usr13: The last line is the dhclient wlan0, but above that is exit 0. Should I have removed that?
[13:16] <chovynz> ignore the ^C
[13:16] <usr13> klpkt: exit 0  has to be the last line.  So dhclient wlan0 needs to be above that line. (I forgot that they are putting "exit 0" at the bottom of that file now.
[13:17] <shutterbc> hello -- I have an extremely dumb question.  In which file is the log stored when disk check fixes errors at boot?
[13:17] <layke__> llutz, Thanks :)
[13:18] <usr13> klpkt: And we don't know for sure if the executable bit is set on /etc/rc.local    Although ls -l /etc/rc.local will tell us, we can just issue command  chmod +x /etc/rc.local #And be done with it.
[13:18] <L3top> chovynz: because renaming Audio Adrynaline to Audio_Adrenaline means that Audio Adrenaline/8 Great Hits no longer exists as it is going in order?
[13:18] <usr13> klpkt: chmod +x /etc/rc.local
[13:18] <alex-> Anyone can help me with my printer?
[13:18] <chovynz> L3top: did i need to change the dirs first?
[13:19] <klpkt> usr13: Now it works! Even after a fresh reboot, with a site that I'm absolutely sure has no cache in my browser!
[13:19] <usr13> alex-: What's wrong with your printer?  Give us make and model.
[13:19] <Eagleman> !TEXT
[13:19] <L3top> I would expect you need to do a maxdepth first, then let it try and traverse... but this will occur with every nested spaced directory I would expect chovynz
[13:19] <usr13> klpkt: Ok, good. (Sorry it took so long.
[13:19] <chovynz> L3top: does the / after the space break teh pattern?
[13:19] <Eagleman> i did add text but it says the command was not recognized
[13:20] <HaikuVbox> chovynz: its just changing the parent directories before the child ones, hence it can't find the child ones
[13:20] <chovynz> lol
[13:20] <alex-> usr13: i already did
[13:20] <klpkt> usr13: Well, it really worth it!
[13:21] <husnainahmad> hi everyone. i am configuring a mail server on ubuntu 12.04 using postfix,mysql, now i am on the step where i have to add and configure domain for virtual user. i want to know whether i have to get a domain name or i can use any fictional domain name for sending and receiving mails?
[13:21] <Eagleman> How do i boot in textmode instead of the ubuntu logo and the loading thing underneatyh it?
[13:21] <alex-> usr13: Brother MFC-J6510DW. I already installed some packages which would be suffient from brother.nl/linux. I editted /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and added the brother to it.
[13:21] <usr13> alex-: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1a.html
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> !text
[13:21] <L3top> chovynz: you could probably setup a loop which changed the maxdepth one directory at a time until all operations were complete
[13:21] <alex-> usr13: yes I installed both packages
[13:22] <Eagleman> Dr_Willis link is death
[13:22] <klpkt> usr13: I have a project that makes me have to have web access at Monday, and if I couldn't fixed it, I would have had to move it to Windows. That in itself isn't that bad, but I'd also have to rename something in about 20 files to match the Windows folders...
[13:22] <Eagleman> nothing with ""text"" in that document
[13:22] <chovynz> L3top: does maxdepth go in find or rename?
[13:22] <chovynz> L3top: find am i right?
[13:23] <alex-> usr13: and editted the file which says under step 5
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> quiet splash    becomes 'noquiet nosplash text'  on the grub menu line
[13:23] <usr13> alex-: sane-find-scanner
[13:23] <Eagleman> thanks
[13:23] <Eagleman> saving with f10?
[13:23] <alex-> usr13: done
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> same as you do any other grub options
[13:23] <usr13> alex-: Did it find it?
[13:23] <skadoosh> any one!!
[13:24] <alex-> nope
[13:24] <alex-> Wait
[13:24] <alex-> it is connected over wifi
[13:24] <alex-> is that a bad thing?
[13:24] <alex-> the printer is connected via wifi
[13:24] <alex-> on ip 192.168.1.103
[13:24] <FloodBot1> alex-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:25] <skadoosh> i am configuring a mail server on ubuntu 12.04 using postfix,mysql, now i am on the step where i have to add and configure domain for virtual user. i want to know whether i have to get a domain name or i can use any fictional domain name for sending and receiving mails?
[13:25] <usr13> alex-: Oh, You probably have to connect via USB cable to make the scanner work.
[13:25] <chovynz> L3top: well this is better - Can't rename /var/www/usb/Audio Adrenaline /var/www/usb/Audio_Adrenaline: Permission denied
[13:25] <alex-> usr13: I don't like having a ~30 meter usb cable running along my house
[13:25] <usr13> alex-: Sorry.
[13:26] <alex-> usr13: isn't there any other solution?
[13:26] <usr13> alex-: I don't know.
[13:26] <llutz> skadoosh: if you want to send/receive mails to/from internet, the domain has to exist
[13:26] <usr13> alex-: Ask brother.com
[13:26] <alex-> usr13: and then?
[13:26] <Eagleman7> Dr_Willis i did as you said and pressing f10 after editing it will still give me this logo
[13:26] <alex-> usr13: they say that it will work
[13:26] <L3top> chovynz: ls -l /var/www/usb/Audi*                      who owns it?
[13:27] <usr13> alex-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1842372
[13:27] <skadoosh> llutz: and that had to be a registered one? or any fictional domain will work?
[13:27] <llutz> skadoosh: exist = has to be registered and needs an mx-record pointing to yur server
[13:28] <chovynz> usr13: bekks L3top llutz HaikuVbox thanks for your helps mates. I've learned alot this night and im now quite tired. I will attempt to tackle the rest of this another day. I appreciate all your input.
[13:29] <skadoosh> llutz: where could i get a a registered domain name for free? i have to make a mail server as a project for my evaluation
[13:29] <usr13> alex-: And  you are probably going to want to tell your router to set a static lease for your printer.
[13:29] <mimoid> I FUCKING LOVE COMMERCIALISM
[13:29] <llutz> skadoosh: for free? idk.
[13:29] <usr13> mimoid: We don't care.
[13:30] <alex-> usr13: "OK, I've got scanning working...mostly. I just followed the instructions at the Brother site" The person says that, but I did the same
[13:30] <usr13> mimoid: mind your language.
[13:30] <alex-> So the topic is not really helping
[13:30] <SilfenX> using an openvpn client on Desktop, how should I set the fw to exempt the vpn interface from smb while retaining it on the lan interface for local clients?
[13:30] <alex-> How can I give the printer a static IP?
[13:30] <Eagleman7> now it is in a loop on the ubuntu logo screen
[13:30] <usr13> alex-: I don't know.  But that is what you need to do.  Try your router's configuration menu.  Look under DHCP and see if it has provision for adding static lease
[13:31] <alex-> Which IP should I give it?
[13:32] <mimoid> usr13: Richard Stallman should disembowl your eunuch ass you cuckholded walled-garden loving ``open source'' charlatan
[13:32] <Eagleman7> How do i enable and save textmode startup in grub?
[13:32] <usr13> alex-: That's up to you, but I would pick one that is not inside your DHCP pool.  So, if your DHCP pool is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200  I would pick 192.168.1.5  (Just an example, but...)
[13:32] <skadoosh> I have a printer LBP 2900 and had got it's driver for ubuntu from canon website but unfortunately i dont know how to install them please help! i am new to ubuntu
[13:32] <alex-> Will that work?
[13:32] <usr13> mimor: Why?
[13:34] <usr13> Sorry mimor was trying to ask mimoid
[13:34] <usr13> but he's gone
[13:34] <__Alex_> Eagleman7: I think you can do it by modifying /etc/default/grub and removing "splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[13:34] <__Alex_> then doing update-grub
[13:34] <usr13> skadoosh: Have you downloaded the file?
[13:35] <skadoosh> usr13: yes it is in .tar.gz format
[13:35] <usr13> skadoosh: tar xvf file.tar.gz
[13:35] <usr13> skadoosh: Where did you download it from?
[13:36] <usr13> skadoosh: Send link

[13:58] <BluesKaj> skadoosh, debian rpm ?
[13:58] <atari314> http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/09/22/1319216/ubuntu-will-now-have-amazon-ads-pre-installed << Guys, is this a joke?
[13:59] <skadoosh> BluesKaj yes there are two folders of these names
[13:59] <usr13> skadoosh: Ok then, go into the 32bit folder that contains the Debain 2-RPM folder and tell us what you have there.
[13:59] <xangua> !ot | atari314
[14:00] <usr13> skadoosh: ls |pastebinit
[14:00] <usr13> and send resulting URL
[14:00] <skadoosh> usr13: in Debian there are two files named  1-cndrvcups-capt_2.20-1_i386.deb        2-cndrvcups-common_2.20-1_i386.deb
[14:00] <OMGUBUNTU> ext3 is a older version of ext, ext4 is current
[14:01] <OMGUBUNTU> i think
[14:01] <skadoosh> usr13: same is in RPM 2 files of these names
[14:01] <drupin> if i play vlc it shows flickering and flashes .... if i use vlc -V x11 on terminal it shows output.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220568/ but plays without flickering but bit lagging
[14:02] <usr13> skadoosh: I dono.  Just try one.  (1 I guess.)
[14:02] <OerHeks> atari314, it is sadly true.
[14:02] <usr13> skadoosh: You can click on it from the file manager or use dpkg
[14:02] <usr13> skadoosh: May need both.  I dono
[14:02] <llutz> skadoosh: doesn't that tar-gz contain a readme?
[14:02] <usr13> skadoosh: dpkg -i 1-cndrvcups-capt_2.20-1_i386.deb
[14:02] <usr13> and see what happens.
[14:02] <llutz> skadoosh: from names, youll need both
[14:03] <usr13> llutz: Tnx
[14:03] <atari314> OerHeks, dear lord :( Guess that mean more mint users then :/
[14:03] <usr13> skadoosh: dpkg -i 2-cndrvcups-common_2.20-1_i386.deb
[14:03] <usr13> skadoosh: In other words, install both.
[14:04] <skadoosh> usr13: the parent tar.gz also contains a folder named Src containing the same named files in tar.gz format
[14:06] <drcode> hi all
[14:06] <skadoosh> usr13: how would  i change the terminal to point to downloads folder
[14:06] <drcode> I have problem with amd ati hd 7750 in kubuntu, any help please?

[14:13] <MonkeyDust> uio  type /join ##java (that's double #)
[14:13] <llutz> karlg: use chown/chmod to adjust permissions if it is an unix-filesystem now (like ext4 )
[14:13] <HaikuVbox> uio: well you shouldn't be asking here, this is just ubuntu support
[14:14] <secretreeve> anyone home?
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> karlg:  what Filesystem is the partion using?
[14:14] <uio> MonkeyDust:  not working
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> uio  and here, it's not supported
[14:15] <uio> MonkeyDust:  ok ! thanks for helping
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> uio  "Join to ##java was synced in 2 secs"
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> uio  some 340 people there
[14:17] <uio> MonkeyDust: i typed what you say but i can't open ##java tab
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> uio  maybe you need to register
[14:17] <karlg> Dr_Willis, Type: FAT, Partition'type: HPFS/NTFS (0x07).

[14:27] <MonkeyDust> adhikari whatever for?
[14:28] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, I have lots of links: download links and I want to download it directly to ubuntu one cloud
[14:28] <adhikari> MonkeyDust i hope you have lots of ideas floating by
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> adhikari  guess you're seeing things wrong, ubuntu one is to sync your folders with the ubuntu cloud
[14:29] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, yeah 'cause i want to achieve the bandwidth required to download a file. It is in my local server. So ubuntu one downloads fast.
[14:30] <adhikari> but for other i need to wait miserable hours
[14:30] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, i am trying a achieve new goal from easy cloud. :(
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> adhikari  try this http://owncloud.org/
[14:30] <OerHeks> adhikari, U1 cannot download from a requested url. you need to upload it manually.
[14:31] <compdoc> owncloud is a nice idea, but it needs a lot of work
[14:33] <Eagleman> Where can i find more information why this failed?  mountall: Event failed
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> Eagleman  try sudo mount -a

[14:36] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, my connection hung up
[14:37] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, have i missed any messages of yours?
[14:37] <Eagleman> yeats any idea what it could be?
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> adhikari  i'm sure someone else can help better
[14:38] <Avaris_> heys guys. i have some problem. i got some files like 100gb which id like to save, but its in my user which i cant access
[14:38] <Avaris_> atm im on livecd
[14:39] <Avaris_> mounted my partition and i still cant copy those files
[14:39] <Avaris_> to some usb storage
[14:39] <henkye> Avaris_: gksudo nautilus
[14:39] <adhikari> MonkeyDust, well i need to wait then..
[14:39] <adhikari> i don't know it should have been easy
[14:39] <compdoc> Avaris_, what filesystem is the usb formatted with?
[14:39] <Avaris_> fat i think
[14:40] <compdoc> I think the limit for fat is 2Gigs or something
[14:40] <Avaris_> well my usb flash is only 2 gb
[14:40] <compdoc> and you want to copy a 100G file?
[14:41] <llutz> compdoc: 4GB max filesize
[14:41] <Avaris_> little by litte Oo
[14:41] <bizhanMona> Hi I have installed Lubuntu desktop, 12.04 on my machine. How can I boot to commandline terminal only (No window manager)? Thx
[14:41] <compdoc> llutz, thats for fat32
[14:42] <Avaris_> and about gksudo nautilus... I got error with "nautilus could not create the required folder /root/.config/nautilus
[14:43] <llutz> compdoc: fat16(b - bigdos) also has 4GB
[14:43] <daddy> I would really LOVE to dump windows completely, but I’m still not sure that everything will work as well in Ubuntu as it does in windows, is there a definitive list of software that would make a transition easier?
[14:43] <OMGUBUNTU> Wait, Who uses fat32?
[14:44] <OMGUBUNTU> Not even Windows uses that anymore
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> daddy:  totally depends on what you do with your pc. ;)
[14:44] <KillJoy> my cousin is a fat 32... wacka wacka
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> daddy:  theres lists of linux /windows alternative software. but it does boil down to your specific needs
[14:44] <OMGUBUNTU> daddy: For 90% of the market, Ubuntu should be fine. It can do more then the 2000£ facebook machines if you know what I mean
[14:45] <auronandace> !equivalent | daddy
[14:45] <daddy> that was what I was looking for
[14:45] <KillJoy> daddy, you can always dual boot.  I keep windows 7 on a small partition just for things like iTunes
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> #linuxzoocrew
[14:46] <daddy> Im dual booted now. its annoying.
[14:46] <llutz> KillJoy: wouldn't a virtual-machine be easier than dual-boot?
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> Wine
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> VIrtual Machines
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> Alternatives
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> Fire
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> llutz
[14:46] <Avaris_> guys,ive tried sudo cp /mnt/mydirectoryhere /mnt/media/sony to copy files
[14:46] <KillJoy> well, "the wife" needs her precious windows ... she's a complete noob
[14:46] <OMGUBUNTU> llutz: Virtual machines, Lets think NEINEI
[14:47] <Avaris_> and i get CP; ommitting dir /mnt/mydirectory
[14:47] <llutz> OMGUBUNTU:  stop your random nonsense please
[14:47] <OMGUBUNTU> llutz: Virtual machines tend to be slow when running high resouce programs
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> i find apps like iTunes annoyig. ;)
[14:47] <llutz> OMGUBUNTU: well itunes seems not be one of the "high resouce programs"
[14:48] <OMGUBUNTU> Did I say it was?
[14:48] <OMGUBUNTU> ANd why in hell do i want to have to start a virtual machine just to sync my "iphone"
[14:48] <KillJoy> I could never get iTunes to run properly under Wine or Cedega
[14:48] <llutz> OMGUBUNTU: did i ask you about vm-glitches? stop it pls
[14:48] <OMGUBUNTU> llutz : Im proving you wrong.
[14:49] <Avaris_> ah god damn it, can ANYONE HELP ME? i have a problem with my user. i cant log in on it
[14:49] <OMGUBUNTU> Killjoy: http://www.techlw.com/2012/03/install-itunes-on-using-playonlinux-on.html
[14:49] <OMGUBUNTU> Avaris: What's your problem?, I actually need to know the problem first
[14:49] <daddy> fail @ syncing iphone lulz
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  can you login via console?
[14:49] <Wesley0> Avaris: Bad way to start
[14:49] <llutz> OMGUBUNTU: you prove nothing, bye
[14:49] <KillJoy> thanks, OMG..   I will check that out
[14:49] <Avaris_> dr yes i can
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  so when you login via lightdm what happens?
[14:50] <OMGUBUNTU> llutz: I proved that you feel the need to replay.
[14:50] <auronandace> OMGUBUNTU: stop it
[14:50] <OMGUBUNTU> No prob kill
[14:50] <Avaris_> Dr_Willis:  i can log in only on tty
[14:50] <OMGUBUNTU> Humm, Are other accounts working?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  and what happens if you use lightdm.
[14:51] <Avaris_> there are no others accounts
[14:51] <Avaris_> nly guest one
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  also test by making a new accouint via the console.. and see if it works for them
[14:51] <OMGUBUNTU> Avaris_: Tried quest?
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> sudo adduser billgates               ;)
[14:51] <Wesley0> Avaris: When you enter your information into the login what happens?
[14:51] <OMGUBUNTU> Avaris: There is a quest account on ubuntu
[14:51] <Avaris_> sreen flashes and it throws me back into log in screen
[14:51] <OMGUBUNTU> Avaris: Have you got the right desktop enviroment selected? Try unity 2d?
[14:51] <KillJoy> installing playonlinux now... good suggestion
[14:52] <brightsparks> Does
[14:52] <OMGUBUNTU> Killjoy: Yea just follow the website, I really don't use iTUnes, THe one iPod i have is broken
[14:52] <xangua> KillJoy: OMGUBUNTU: yo do realize that is itunes 7 right¿ wont work with latest iOS
[14:52] <Wesley0> Avaris: Ah, I had that problem. He's getting "the loop." The only fix I could do was to back up my data and do a fresh install.
[14:52] <OMGUBUNTU> xangua: Not everyone has upgraded :P
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  if a new user works.. then you may want to reset all your settings for the old user.
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  you dont need to do a fresh install IF its just user settings..
[14:53] <OMGUBUNTU> xangua: And apple DOESN'T stand by it's devices, Many dont support the new ios
[14:53] <brightsparks> Does anyone know if I install a portable version of truecrypt onto a usb in linux and make some encrypted files on the same usb if I will be able to open them on a windows computer?
[14:54] <Avaris_> Dr_Willis: gimme a min, ill try to make neew user
[14:54] <OMGUBUNTU> Don't use a windows computer? Wait bad suggestion
[14:54] <OMGUBUNTU> Truecrypt is also on Windows
[14:54] <silver86> when is ubuntu making a mobile OS like Firefox mobile OS ?
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> Truecrypt does support linux and windows
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> There is a firefox os?
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> I thought they killed it
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> I mean what now
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> Chrome os?, FIrefox os?
[14:55] <OMGUBUNTU> Webos?
[14:55] <FloodBot1> OMGUBUNTU: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:55] <silver86> Firefox OS will be released next year
[14:56] <OMGUBUNTU> WHat does it do?
[14:56] <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?
[14:56] <xangua> OMGUBUNTU: silver86 please stick to the channel topic: Ubuntu Support, for anything else there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:56] <Avaris_> Dr_Willis: so, it works. i made a new user
[14:56] <OMGUBUNTU> Wait, WHo are you saying that to?
[14:56] <OMGUBUNTU> Am I in the wrong channel again?
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Avaris_:  using the console, make a backup directory in your probllem users home,, them move the .gnome* and .gconf* and perhaps some other directoryies to it. then try logging in to see what setting messed things up. BUT first. check who owns your .Xauthority file. it should not be owned by root
[14:57] <OMGUBUNTU> #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:57] <brightsparks> 0MGUBUNTU: yes - ha ha ha -so if you read my question you're saying that if I make some encrypted files using truecrypt on my usb in linux (truecrypt will be on the usb) that if I take that usb to another none linux macine that I will be able to open those files and encrypt fies also-all on my usb
[14:58] <OMGUBUNTU> brightsparks Ill check on that for you
[14:58] <THE_GFR|WORK> does anyone have a suggestion of a PCIe USB 3.0 card that will work with ubuntu?
[14:58] <brightsparks> 0MGUBUNTU: ok thanks.
[14:59] <OMGUBUNTU> brightsparks: Try this article http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/flash-drive-encryption-across-multiple-os-829600/
[14:59] <brightsparks> 0MGUBUNTU: Thanks. Will read.
[14:59] <BlackNarcissus> Hello everyone. Anyone can advise me on the best way to install ATI drivers for a Mobility Radeon HD 3200 on 12.04 ? Jockey fails, manually installing proprietary drivers from AMD gives me a black screen at boot, I read many howtos and still no good results. Thanks a lot.
[15:00] <OMGUBUNTU> Truecrypt should work aross platforms brightsparks
[15:00] <brightsparks> 0MGUBUNTU: ok
[15:00] <THE_GFR|WORK> yes truecrypt is the only full disk encryption the feds can't crack
[15:01] <vice> I just got an SSD and was wondering if I should back up my data elsewhere and then install Ubuntu from the beginning? Or is there a way to move it all over to the SSD?
[15:01] <VictorBjelkholm> THE_GFR|WORK, truecrypt is a software, not a encryption. You're probably thinking about AES
[15:01] <auronandace> THE_GFR|WORK: or thats what they'd like you to believe :)
[15:01] <THE_GFR|WORK> auronandace: they did a test, and the feds can't crack it.  I'm good.
[15:02] <Ihsan_> Hello, I just messed up my 'Wine', uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but I still get error while starting apps with wine of even win configuration. I remember that I was playing with .dll files (folowing tuts) and now It doesnt work anymore. I cant find how I can reset wine COMPLETELY to factory reset or something. Could you please help me, I really need wine to run programs for both school and work. Thanks
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> Ihsan_  try #winehq
[15:03] <majd> hey #ubuntu - i recently switched to ubuntu on my laptop from OSX. One of the features i miss the most is the most is the text-to-speech engine that speaks any text i highlight on any page when i press a certain key combination. Anyone know of alternatives for this feature?
[15:03] <amazingfate> hello,everyone
[15:03] <OMGUBUNTU> vice You can move your ubuntu install with

BUT first. check who owns your .Xauthority file. it should not be owned by root
[15:06] <MrELusive> i wish that someone could come up with some true sb support for the 64bit platform
[15:06] <llutz> Avaris_: 1st, easiest: "ls -l ~/.Xauthority"
[15:06] <MrELusive> ended up ripping out my sb card
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> what's sb?
[15:07] <MrELusive> soundblaster
[15:07] <MrELusive> even windows drivers for sb products suck
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> MrELusive  then maybe contact the soundblaster people
[15:08] <MrELusive> that would be like contacting a brick
[15:09] <MrELusive> I do like how wine has been getting perfected
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> MrELusive  you just excluded windows, linux AND the soundblaster people
[15:09] <Avaris_> llutz:  what does exactly this commands has to do?
[15:09] <llutz> Avaris_: it shows you the permissions of the file in question
[15:10] <Avaris_> llutz:  cannot access .xauthority : no such file or directory
[15:10] <MrELusive> try a locate
[15:10] <llutz> Avaris_: copy and paste its case sensitive "ls -l ~/.Xauthority"

[15:12] <godrick> Hi, I am having an issue with booting into Ubuntu 12.04.  I had run it without any problems for a long time - but I was asked by my school to check out Windows 8.  After installing it, then going back to linux, I now have an issue where Ubuntu will only boot randomly -1/10 times is usually the average.  I was looking at my grub configuration and its booting (hd0, msdos1) even though I do not have a ntfs partition.  any ideas?
[15:13] <Avaris_> llutz:  stil doesnt work
[15:13] <MrELusive> should have ran it in a sandbox
[15:13] <godrick> When selecting 'ubuntu' under grub, it will go to a black screen with the cursor in top left corner and do nothing.
[15:13] <MrELusive> its best not to have a windows install alongside your linux one
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset > godrick
[15:14] <MrELusive> because windows is crap
[15:14] <llutz> Avaris_: if you don't know what a tilde is: "ls -l $HOME/.Xauthority"
[15:14] <godrick> thank you!
[15:14] <mneptok> MrELusive: unhelpful, please refrain.
[15:14] <godrick> btw, I dont have windows installed anymore as it was just a test for school
[15:15] <mneptok> godrick: was it on a separate drive or a separate partition?
[15:15] <Avaris_> llutz:  still cannot access
[15:15] <Eagleman> Where can i find more information why this failed? this happens on reboot/startup:  mountall: Event failed
[15:15] <llutz> Avaris_: error i
[15:15] <llutz> Avaris_: error is?
[15:16] <Avaris_> /.Xauthority: no such file or directory
[15:16] <MrELusive> well thats good
[15:16] <MrELusive> next time try a emulator
[15:16] <godrick> seperate partition
[15:16] <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?
[15:16] <MrELusive> its safer
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> its in your users home directory Avaris_  not /
[15:16] <MrELusive> yeah dont need to give it a partition
[15:17] <MrELusive> just emulate one
[15:17] <MrELusive> then when youve had enough you can dump it
[15:17] <llutz> Avaris_: does it really say "/.Xauthority"? would mean, your $HOME is not set. try "ls -l /home/<your-username-here>/.Xauthority"
[15:17]  * DrManhattan misses gaming in linux
[15:17] <DrManhattan> it just disappeared a few years back and never really returned
[15:17] <MrELusive> ive been playing DDO through wine
[15:17] <mneptok> godrick: if you actually changed parition geometry then GRUB may be confused. but that would almost certainly affect every single attemot to boot.
[15:18] <MrELusive> so the gamming is good

[15:20] <mneptok> godrick: if you wiped a lot of the Linux install, then yes, it may have problems booting. :)
[15:21] <greenit> hi, i am trying to set up some servers for MaaS, but when i follow the instructions on this site https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS   at the point where i have to enter "sudo maas-import-isos" the server says "httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler" can any1 help me plz?
[15:21] <godrick> well, im going to test this kernel parameter.  thank you for the help!
[15:21] <karlg> Dr_Willis, that is /dev/sda2
[15:21] <llutz> Avaris_: "cd /home/your-username-here" then "mkdir backup && mv .gconf .gnome2 backup/" then try to login
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> DrManhattan  contact the developpers, ask them to port their games to linux
[15:24] <Avaris_> llutz:  cd /home/your-username-here << entered this one and i got -bash: cd: /home/vartotojas: no such file or directory
[15:24] <llutz> Avaris_: ls -l /home

[15:27] <BlackNarcissus> Hello everyone. Anyone can advise me on the best way to install ATI drivers for a Mobility Radeon HD 3200 on 12.04 ? Jockey fails, manually installing proprietary drivers from AMD gives me a black screen at boot, I read many howtos and still no good results. Thanks a lot.
[15:27] <Avaris_> total 8 billgates billgates billgates vartotojas vartotojas issaugota
[15:27] <Avaris_> llutz:
[15:27] <Avaris_> and between these a=there are numbers
[15:28] <OpenbsdVbox> BlackNarcissus: what's wrong with the open source radeon drivers?
[15:28] <BlackNarcissus> OpenbsdVbox: My laptop sounds like an airplane taking off.
[15:28] <llutz> Avaris_: exact output please
[15:28] <karlg> llutz, as far as concern my problem, that's my /dev/sda2 partition.
[15:28] <llutz> karlg: ?
[15:29] <llutz> !pastebinit | Avaris_:  install/use this to paste output
[15:29] <karlg> llutz, hi, on my ubuntu, i've formated my windows partitions because it has crashed, but I can not download something throught internet, and save it on this partitions. It responds : permission denied. someone can tell me why? How can I do?
[15:29] <Avaris_> damn im on another laptop
[15:29] <llutz> karlg: sudo blkid /dev/sda2  what is the "TYPE=...."?
[15:30] <Avaris_> llutz:  gimme a min all come back to ya
[15:30] <karlg> llutz, i do not understand your answer.
[15:31] <llutz> karlg: type into a terminal "sudo blkid /dev/sda2" Wwhat is the "TYPE=...."?
[15:31] <godrick> well, that didnt work.  still took 5 reboots to get into the system.
[15:32] <DrManhattan> I just can't find a good reason to use linux on a desktop
[15:33] <DrManhattan> for servers its rockin though
[15:33] <bekks> DrManhattan: I cant find a reason for not using it on my desktop :)
[15:33] <vice> bekks: same here
[15:33] <DrManhattan> nah I game and I do video editing
[15:33] <godrick> any other ideas?  like i said, it all stemmed from installing win8.  afterwards, booting has been totally random.
[15:33] <beboj> does anyone know how to fix thic connection ? http://pastebin.com/sBQ8GRzR
[15:34] <OpenbsdVbox> DrManhattan: openshot is pretty nice
[15:34] <DrManhattan> godrick, win8 is going to end up being vista2
[15:34] <karlg> llutz, that's TYPE= vfat.
[15:34] <DrManhattan> OpenbsdVbox, not as nice as sony vegas or final cut, or avid!
[15:34] <brightsparks> 0MGUBUNTU: hi thanks I'm reading what you suggested re using  truecrypt on cross platforms namely linux + windows. The only problem that has been suggested that that using the usb on a windows computer not mine may have adminstrative  rights restrictions or/also pose therefore a security risk since if I do mount my files on the win computer an adminstrator might be able later to see what I was doing including passwords etc -that is how I am interpr
[15:34] <brightsparks> eting what is linked to the article you recommended anyway.
[15:34] <llutz> karlg: is it just you to access the partitin or are there other users too?
[15:34] <godrick> Thanks for the tidbit DrManhattan
[15:35] <ramprasadgk> http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ
[15:35] <DrManhattan> godrick, you're very welcome. You can leave tips and daughters at the door.
[15:35] <karlg> llutz, that's just me.
[15:35] <llutz> karlg: you have a line in /etc/fstab to mount this drive? you need to add "uid=1000,gid=1000"  to the mount-options
[15:36] <BluesKaj> DrManhattan, so , do you have a question or... ?
[15:36] <MrELusive> ....
[15:36] <DrManhattan> Yes, and I already asked it.
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> DrManhattan  this may interest you http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october
[15:36] <gordonjcp> godrick: what have you tried so far to fix it?
[15:36] <llutz> karlg: check using "id" if that is your uid/gid,  if not take the numbers from "id" output
[15:37] <DrManhattan> MonkeyDust, that would be rocking! Not really a game but that is going to be nice
[15:37] <MrELusive> wasnt windows8 suppost to be the new tablet pc os?

[15:39] <godrick> gordonjcp:  ive tried the recommended nomodeset kernel specification in grub, ive 0'ed out my MBR with dd and attempted to reinstall that way - same result.  ive attempted other distros - same result.  In fact, the only thing that will work without fail is windows 8 which i discovered accidentally
[15:39] <godrick> i should say 'reinstall after zeroing the MBR'
[15:40] <gordonjcp> godrick: have a rake about in the grub config and remove anything suspiciously "windows"-y
[15:40] <ramprasadgk> i read soemwhere world's most active open source irc is *ubuntu
[15:40] <gordonjcp> godrick: although tbh if it's taken more than half an hour you'd be quicker wiping and reinstalling
[15:40] <dada_> Hello, I'm trying to use gparted to delete some partitions using the latest ubuntu live cd (via USB). however, it won't delete a logical partition containing a swap space, and it shows a key icon next to the partition. how do I get rid of that swap partition?
[15:41] <llutz> guest-lMhCuh: who/what is issaugota and why is your $HOME renamed to this?
[15:41] <OerHeks> dada_, remove the swap first, then the partition
[15:41] <godrick> gordonjcp:  ive reinstalled several times with different distros.  Even attempting to reinstall is very random.  I have to boot several times on whichever media form to get the kernel to load before beginning to install
[15:41] <dada_> OerHeks: not sure if I know how. both the logical partition, the swap partition are locked
[15:41] <gordonjcp> godrick: o_O
[15:41] <dada_> OerHeks: or do I need to do it some other way than gparted?
[15:41] <gordonjcp> godrick: back up /home, zero out the drive completely, and do a clean install
[15:42] <godrick> and theres no sense (that i can see) that determines whether the kernel loads.  it either does or doesnt.
[15:42] <guest-lMhCuh> llutz: Well, one guy told me to rename my home directory to save files
[15:42] <guest-lMhCuh> llutz: so i renamed it in livecd session
[15:42] <ramprasadgk> this channel succks
[15:42] <llutz> guest-lMhCuh: "mv /home/issaugota /home/vartotojas"
[15:42] <gordonjcp> godrick: when the boot fails, what actually happens?
[15:42] <OerHeks> dada_, gparted should work fine, from live-cd
[15:42] <karlg> I note a bug on ubuntu 12.04, I cannot hibernate my computer, when my battery is in critic state.
[15:42] <ramprasadgk> http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ
[15:42] <llutz> guest-lMhCuh: bad idea to rename your homedir
[15:42] <sharperguy> Who here knows if there is a way to use GRUB boot from an iso file?
[15:42] <MrELusive> so, i was wondering when it comes to problems i have encountered with 64 bit ubuntu and my soundblaster live card, is it better to go back to a 32bit install?
[15:42] <OpenbsdVbox> !here | ramprasadgk
[15:42] <godrick> there will be a black screen with a flickering cursor in the top left corner - thats when grub fails to launch the kernel or when installing and it fails to launch the kernel.
[15:42] <dada_> OerHeks: hm, somehow I cannot delete either of the logical partition or the swap partition. I think maybe it's using it despite running off of live cd?
[15:42] <godrick> either that - or it will boot fine and dandy
[15:43] <OpenbsdVbox> !bcm | ramprasadgk
[15:43] <dada_> OerHeks: hm, think I might have found something, apparently I can "swapoff" the swap partition..
[15:43] <OerHeks> dada_, no it shouldn't use it AFAIK
[15:43] <BluesKaj> dada_, can you umount the partition ?
[15:43] <guest-lMhCuh> llutz:  permission denied
[15:43] <llutz> Avaris_: does it really say "/.Xauthority"? would mean, your $HOME is not set. try "ls -l /home/<your-username-here>/.Xauthority"
[15:43] <godrick> also, ive checked every log I can think of for errors and have found none.
[15:43] <llutz> guest-lMhCuh: "sudo mv /home/issaugota /home/vartotojas"
[15:43] <dada_> BluesKaj: don't have much experience with umount, but I'll try that in a second if this does not work..
[15:44] <gordonjcp> godrick: at this point I'd be backing up /home, zeroing out the drive and reinstalling from scratch
[15:44] <dada_> sure's taking a while..
[15:44] <gordonjcp> godrick: something is very very wrong but without seeing what it's doing it's going to be really hard to track down

[15:53] <MrELusive> :)
[15:53] <llutz> vartotojas: its YOUR password

[15:54] <lucian_> hi can someone lead me to a way to make my ubuntu machine a wireless acces point or tell me about a connectify equivalent on ubuntu?
[15:54] <llutz> vartotojas: how did you login then?
[15:54] <MrELusive> whats doe sit say when you just hit enter without a password?
[15:54] <vartotojas> on login screen it doesnt requires the login
[15:54] <voloder> чем заняты?
[15:55] <vartotojas> on login screen it doesnt require the pass
[15:55] <MrELusive> that might work
[15:55] <llutz> vartotojas: did you remove your password? that will break sudo-usage
[15:55] <MrELusive> no i mean wheil doing the cmd line int he terminal
[15:55] <vartotojas> i guess i removed it
[15:55] <cag> lastlog
[15:55] <MrELusive> just leave the password blank and hit return
[15:55] <lucian_> so can anyone help me or not
[15:55] <llutz> vartotojas: "passwd"  give a new one
[15:55] <MrELusive> see what it says

[15:56] <maplesoft> how can i set up a proxy on my vps (that i have shell access to by ssh)  so i can browse by that proxy on my home computer?
[15:56] <vartotojas> llutz:  works fine now!
[15:56] <anthonym> maplesoft, install squid
[15:56] <mschr> vartotojas: by default, no password is set for the root user - instead the sudo is used with the users you grant this option.
[15:57] <llutz> vartotojas: don't remove it again, you won't be able to use sudo without a pssword
[15:57] <maplesoft> anthonym:  ok. any? is it easy to use?
[15:57] <anthonym> maplesoft, but by all means secure it properly or you'l get raped.
[15:57] <maplesoft> anthonym:  ok
[15:57] <maplesoft> anthonym:  any guide on that?
[15:57] <vartotojas> llutz: ok my friend! ^^ you saved my ass :P
[15:57] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: ssh -D 8080 <your vps> and set your local machine up to use localhost as a socks proxy
[15:57] <anthonym> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/squid.html
[15:57] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: simple as that
[15:57] <anthonym> or that yeah
[15:57] <lucian_> can anyone suggest me a good source or a tutorial to make my machine a wireless acces point?
[15:58] <maplesoft> gordonjcp: can you elaborate or point to a tutorial?
[15:58] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: not really
[15:58] <gordonjcp> that's all you need to do
[15:58] <OerHeks> !ics
[15:58] <OpenbsdVbox> !ics | lucian_
[15:58] <MrELusive> try google   howto: ubuntu wireless access point
[15:58] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: are you trying to tunnel out of somewhere?
[15:58] <maplesoft> gordonjcp:  how to set my lcal machine to use localhost as a socks proxy?
[15:58] <godrick> maplesoft:  ssh -D <port> yourusername@sshmachine.com
[15:58] <maplesoft> groupcat:  yes
[15:58] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: look in the network settings
[15:59] <godrick> the port specified by -D is a socks5 proxy that is opened on your localhost machine
[15:59] <anthonym> hes trying to use his virtual private server as a proxy to use at home, wireless access point wont help him
[15:59] <Queops> MonkeyDust: no worries
[15:59] <MrELusive> ohh
[15:59] <godrick> you connect to it which then tunnels the connection to the remote machine and all further data goes throught hat
[15:59] <maplesoft> gordonjcp:  i have kubuntu. what settings?
[15:59] <maplesoft> gordonjcp: if i ssh -D . no need for squid?
[15:59] <anthonym> thats correct, no need for squid with that method
[16:00] <anthonym> then set your proxy server settings in IE or firefox or whatever to 127.0.0.1 port 8080
[16:00] <vartotojas> llutz:
[16:00] <vartotojas> llutz:  all my settings gone. How do i make that spining cube? Oo
[16:00] <maplesoft> anthonym:  hm..
[16:00] <vartotojas> llutz:  cause  it spins now like a paper :D
[16:00] <maplesoft> anthonym:  what will ssh-d do?
[16:01] <MrELusive> so, i was wondering when it comes to problems i have encountered with 64 bit ubuntu and my soundblaster live card, is it better to go back to a 32bit install?
[16:01] <llutz> vartotojas: no idea, sry
[16:01] <anthonym> it creates a tunnel between your local pc and your server
[16:01] <maplesoft> anthonym: thats what bind address is?
[16:01] <godrick> well specifically its a dynamic port
[16:02] <anthonym> maplesoft, ssh -D  explained; http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html
[16:02] <karlg> llutz, in place of dump and pass, what do I'll write?
[16:02] <maplesoft> anthonym:  ok. how can i use global proxy for all apps like firefox and kget?
[16:02] <llutz> " 0 2" karlg
[16:02] <karlg> ok, llutz, thanks.
[16:02] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: don't know, never used kde
[16:03] <gordonjcp> maplesoft: you don't need squid
[16:03] <anthonym> maplesoft, once the tunnel is created (using the ssh -D command), you'l need to set your proxy settings in your software to server 127.0.0.1, port 8080
[16:03] <anthonym> gordonjcp, we've already established that
[16:03] <anthonym> ;)
[16:04] <maplesoft> anthonym:  ok. thanks! gordonjcp  thanks
[16:04] <anthonym> its ok
[16:05] <MrELusive> is soundblaster driver support better on ubuntu 32bit than the 64bit install?
[16:05] <Strativa> Чёт как-то мало русских я смотрю
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> MrELusive  not everything has 64bit support, last week someone here had a similar issue
[16:06] <L3top> !ru | Strativa
[16:06] <Strativa> ru ru =)
[16:07] <MrELusive> we defently need more driver support for 64bit since most home computers are 64bit now
[16:08] <MrELusive> fingers crossed
[16:08] <Queops> we need companies to make drivers for linux
[16:08] <OpenbsdVbox> MrELusive: what are you talking about? most drivers support 64bit
[16:09] <anthonym> most drivers have supported 64bit for a while
[16:09] <vartotojas_> Guys, dones anyone knows how i can change my ubuntu cube wallpapers and its background?
[16:09] <MrELusive> forsure
[16:09] <anthonym> maybe back in 2005 when old mate buys a new computer and tries to connect his old Canon BJC 210 to it.
[16:09] <OpenbsdVbox> !pm | MrELusive
[16:09] <MrELusive> wish i knew enough to write my own
[16:10] <anthonym> writing drivers is simple
[16:10] <layke__> Does this look correct?
[16:10] <layke__> java -jar start.jar 2>&1 > /dev/null &
[16:10] <layke__> I always get the redirect wrong..
[16:10] <MrELusive> well I have alot to learn then
[16:10] <layke__> I want to detatch the process so it runs in the background.
[16:11] <Queops> I'm trying to get iptables to log but I can't see the logs anywhere, can anyone help me out? The rules are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220753/
[16:11] <anthonym> detatch/forking is as simple as calling the command and including a trailing &
[16:11] <anthonym> eg,   ./mycmd &
[16:11] <nngger> hello. It's not about ubuntu, but I hope someone knows here.  why do some extensions disappear  from extensions.gnome.org? For example: Weather indicator, GPaste
[16:11] <MrELusive> isnt there a basic log dir for all things?
[16:11] <layke__> anthonym, For some reason it doesn't work, all the output still gets dumped in the console that called it.
[16:12] <anthonym> layke__, close the session
[16:12] <anthonym> ssh in, ./cmd &   close ssh
[16:12] <anthonym> then ssh back in, and presto its forked
[16:12] <OerHeks> your own answer > <MrELusive> try google   howto:
[16:12] <layke__> anthonym, Yeah I know. But there is a way of actually doing it by redirecting stdout and stderror using 2>&1, I just always forget if it is 2>1& or 1>&2 etc
[16:13] <layke__> That way I don't have to go to that trouble :)
[16:13] <OerHeks> !pm > MrELusive
[16:13] <godrick> gordonjcp:  ah....back to my original problem, do you think /dev/sda1 not starting at a cylinder boundary would be the cause?
[16:13] <gordonjcp> godrick: could easily be
[16:13] <anthonym> $@ &> /dev/null &
[16:13] <MrELusive> lol
[16:13] <anthonym> layke__, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8432853/simply-forking-and-redirecting-the-output-of-a-command-to-dev-null
[16:14] <layke__> java -jar start.jar > /dev/null  2>&1 &
[16:14] <layke__> That did it
[16:14] <MrELusive> why does this bit ask me to ask questions in the channle when I am?
[16:14] <anthonym> ;)
[16:14] <layke__> Cheers for the link :)
[16:14] <MrELusive> never talked to the bot lol
[16:14] <anthonym> np :)
[16:14] <layke__> I new I was close, just couldn't remember.
[16:14] <OpenbsdVbox> MrELusive: it also says its rude to pm people before asking
[16:14] <locoguano> Is there a general command or utility that is used to tell if a device is properly installed?
[16:15] <OpenbsdVbox> locoguano: doesn't that entirely depend on the device?
[16:15] <MrELusive> well i havent pm'ed anyone till they pm'ed me first
[16:15] <OpenbsdVbox> MrELusive: not true, you pm'd me
[16:15] <MrELusive> thats cause its showing me that you pm'ed me
[16:16] <OpenbsdVbox> MrELusive: i never pm'd you, i asked you a question in channel then you pm'd me
[16:16] <locoguano> As a migrant from Win7, I am used to seeing the "device not recognized' message. Was wondering about an Ubuntu equivalent.
[16:16] <anthonym> xchat isnt that retarded
[16:16] <MrELusive> ok, whats it mean when it in red then?
[16:16] <bekks> locoguano: There is no equivalent.
[16:16] <MrELusive> is that becuase you used my name?
[16:16] <anthonym> MrELusive, CTCP
[16:16] <bekks> MrELusive: You have been hilighted.
[16:17] <anthonym> or that yeah
[16:17] <MrELusive> ok well iam knew to this irc client
[16:17] <OpenbsdVbox> MrELusive: thats a highlight
[16:17] <MrELusive> and anthonym i dont need any more CTCP ver and and stuff
[16:17] <MrELusive> lol
[16:17] <anthonym> i sent one, to query your client version :)
[16:18] <MrELusive> just plain old xchat
[16:18] <karlg> I note a bug on ubuntu 12.04, I cannot hibernate my computer, when my battery is in critic state.
[16:18] <locoguano> IC. I am trying to get a usb tv tuner (ati tv wonder 600) working. I have copied the firmware to /lib/firmware as suggested on several websites, however, mythtv did not detect the tuner.
[16:18] <anthonym> karlg do you have the correct power support drivers installed for your mobo?
[16:19] <OpenbsdVbox> !tv | locoguano
[16:19] <anthonym> because that wouldnt be a bug, even if it were a driver issue, with the OS
[16:19] <MrELusive> i would think that if your battery was in crtical state that would mean you wold be running out of power soon?
[16:19] <MrELusive> lol
[16:19] <karlg> what do you say by mobo? anthonym
[16:19] <anthonym> sorry, motherboard
[16:20] <locoguano> lol. Linuxtv is where I got the firmware... Guess I will hit up a few of those others.
[16:20] <anthonym> motherboard will have an Ahci driver, or should do... if the drivers are incorrect, ubuntu wont have access to certain specific cmds for your device
[16:20] <Queops> Hibernating means to save your computer state to the harddisk, if the battery is in a critical state it most likely won't have time to save before it runs out
[16:20] <MrELusive> karlg is that problem you are having on a notebook?
[16:20] <Queops> critical state != running low
[16:20] <bekks> anthonym: the motherboard doesnt have any drivers at all.
[16:21] <anthonym> bekks? oh?
[16:21] <bekks> anthonym: The motherboard supports AHCI, which can be used by software like Ubuntu or Windows.
[16:21] <karlg> yes MrELusive
[16:21] <MrELusive> ok just was wondering
[16:21] <anthonym> of course it has drivers, even if it were generic ubuntu drivers
[16:21] <MrELusive> i do recall something about that problem being known
[16:21] <bekks> anthonym: No.
[16:22] <anthonym> so what would you call the interface between ACHI and the OS?
[16:22] <bekks> anthonym: Thee mainboard does NOT have ANY drivers. The OS ships all drivers it needs.
[16:22] <vartotojas__> guys, im trying to instal corefonts on winetricks but it does nothing
[16:22] <vartotojas__> whats the problem?
[16:22] <wN> the winetricks! they do nothing!
[16:22] <epistax> I'm trying to do a distribution upgrade but I get an error: libkrb5-3 : Breaks: libsmbclient (<= 2:3.6.1-2) but 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed. Previously I had a crash in the middle of a distribution upgrade. It was in the form of an instant reboot (hardware issue). Is there anything to be done, aside from a fresh install?
[16:22] <bekks> anthonym: The interface between AHCI and OS is called "AHCI interface" which is used by the AHCI driver shipped with Ubuntu.
[16:22] <Queops> anthonym: the motherboard has firmware, not drivers per-say
[16:23] <xangua> epistax: are you using third party repositories¿
[16:23] <MrELusive> karlg infact i think the ubuntu installer mentioned it when i did a install on one of my notebooks the other day.
[16:23] <anthonym> Ah there you go, AHCI driver
[16:23] <Queops> The drivers are made by the OS makers and their partners
[16:23] <anthonym> so in fact the statement that it doesnt use a driver is incorrect, however it is included with ubuntu
[16:23] <anthonym> didn't think I was going senile just yet.
[16:24] <epistax> xangua: I don't think so. I'm trying to double check in Synaptic but it crashes when I try to access the repositories page
[16:24] <bekks> anthonym: Drivers arent included with the hardware, that was the point you were wrong at.
[16:24] <xangua> 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 < looks like epistax
[16:24] <Babul> anyone know how to connect internet using  Huawei e303  in ubuntu 10.10.plz help
[16:25] <bekks> Babul: 10.10 isnt supported anymore.
[16:25] <karlg> MrELusive, and what have you done to solve this ?
[16:26] <MrELusive> karlg nothing, just waiting for the fix in a update
[16:27] <MrELusive> karlg i suppose I could disbale it but then again i never let my abttery get low enough to matter
[16:27] <epistax> xangua, I'm looking at /etc/apt/sources.list and I don't see anytihng that isn't on ubuntu.com which isn't also commented out. Maybe I still have a package on there from another repository I need to delete.
[16:28] <Queops> karlg: maybe send the computer to hibernation when it's a little bit higher on battery life?
[16:29] <karlg> MrELusive, me I have a blem, I do not know causes, but i note that my computer do not make warning , when battery is in critic state, and i hope it'll so hibernate, not kill all process running.
[16:29] <MrELusive> karlg my notebbok has hibernation disabled. I just shut it down when not using it
[16:30] <karlg> Queops, my notebook has hibernation disabled too.
[16:30] <OerHeks> normaly one would enable powercord when battery is in critical state..
[16:30] <MrELusive> :D
[16:30] <MrELusive> i do that too
[16:30] <MrELusive> powercord at all times when available
[16:33] <MrELusive> deos anyone know about the new bug when it comes to ubuntu64 and wine? from what I have been able to read up on is that its not wine's fault. its something that came up in the last release update of ubuntu
[16:33] <MrELusive> i cant remmeber the problem file name but did find a work around
[16:34] <Queops> I'm trying to get iptables to log but I can't see the logs anywhere, can anyone help me out? The rules are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220753/
[16:36] <mre> ok that was nasty
[16:36] <mre> hitting your link of http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220753/ casued this client to close
[16:36] <vitimiti> really?
[16:37] <mre> yeah
[16:37] <Queops> lol what, blame it on pastebin!
[16:37] <vitimiti> XDDD
[16:37] <mre> great my ghost is still up
[16:37] <vitimiti> that is harcooore
[16:37] <Maple> = =
[16:38] <shad0wfax> mre: Have a look at desk.fw at: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-detect-port-scan-attacks/
[16:39] <mre> someone was asking about finding a log
[16:39] <mre> man are people still doing that?
[16:39] <Queops> mre: yep
[16:39] <mre> howto remove a ghost on ehre i forget
[16:40] <Queops> shad0wfax: did you meant that for me?
[16:41] <shad0wfax> Queops: My bad yes i was :-=)
[16:41] <Queops> shad0wfax: the thing is i'm using the 2.2 version of psad, which is not a problem atm, it's just that iptables isn't logging at the default locations it esems
[16:41] <Queops> seems*
[16:42] <epistax> Yay I figured it out . When my computer had crashed during the distribution upgrade, it modified the sources from maverick to precise, but it didn't upgrade any of my packages. That apparently confused the heck out of apt-get..
[16:42] <shad0wfax> Queops: Do you have syslog-ng installed?
[16:43] <epistax> Unfortunately my machine now thinks it is running 12.04 but it's actually running 10.10... what to do..
[16:43] <Queops> shad0wfax: no, why would it be needed?
[16:43] <jrib> epistax: that's not possible
[16:44] <shad0wfax> Queops: Ubuntu has as far as i know standard rsyslog installed,which i swapped for sysklogd in oreder to get psad working
[16:45] <epistax> jrib, I could have part of that incorrect, but the system is quite hosed.
[16:45] <jrib> epistax: reinstall takes 10 minutes
[16:45] <Queops> shad0wfax: i even tried making a config rule on rsyslog for iptables to log into
[16:45] <Queops> No success lol
[16:46] <maple_> = = Secssin
[16:46] <jrib> epistax: I suggest this since it seems you want to upgrade anyway and upgrades take longer, plus your system is broken at the moment, and you're not sure what/how it is broken
[16:47] <kyc> msg &maple_
[16:47] <epistax> jrib: Yes that's what I'm going to do now, thanks. I'm just enjoying my 12.04 running on a 3.0.0-16 kernel for a few moments :)
[16:47] <mik88> ciao
[16:47] <mik88> !list
[16:47] <Queops> shad0wfax: I'm almost quitting this psad bussiness, the firewall works lol
[16:48] <kyc> list
[16:48] <shad0wfax> Queops: :-)  Well the two don't necesaarily have to bite
[16:48] <Queops> shad0wfax: the email warning and the extra awareness do help though
[16:49] <Queops> shad0wfax: I will make iptables spit the logs later kinda tired now, thanks anyway!
[16:49] <mre> yeah most of the time if a package does not log by default, there is normaly a way to enable it manualy
[16:49] <Queops> shad0wfax: and fyi running a server here
[16:49] <mre> via conf file
[16:49] <shad0wfax> Queops: :-)  And the opportunity for triggering another script
[16:49] <leaftwig> Hi!
[16:49] <Queops> shad0wfax: what do you mean?
[16:50] <leaftwig> How do I determine which driver out of the set specified by lspci runs my wifi?
[16:50] <shad0wfax> Queops: :-)  Setting up psad is fairly easy have a look at:http://tljharmsen.blogspot.nl/2012/09/install-and-configure-working-port-scan.html
[16:51] <Queops> shad0wfax: i have bookmarked it, thanks
[16:52] <shad0wfax> Queops: :-)  You are welcome
[16:52] <Queops> shad0wfax: I love you for getting me an updated guide
[16:52] <Queops> :D
[16:53] <leaftwig> I love all a yall
[16:53] <leaftwig> cuz you come here with me to learn and instruct about ubuntu
[16:53] <leaftwig> and we share that in common
[16:53] <leaftwig> no homo
[16:53] <leaftwig> not with me please
[16:53] <leaftwig> only bicurious exploration 8)
[16:53] <bazhang> leaftwig, stop it
[16:53] <leaftwig> ok ._.
[16:54] <Queops> shad0wfax: won't removing rsyslog affect other services or is it safe?
[16:54] <MrELusiveone> lol
[16:54] <kyc> o  no
[16:54] <leaftwig> o.O
[16:54] <gabe-20> hello community, please... does anyone know what's going on with Ubuntu? My three laptops seem to be really slow when connected to the Internet via wireless nic
[16:54] <MrELusiveone> do you have all 3 on at the same time?
[16:55] <beboj> sierra goobi 2000 winmodem cant connect with network, someone use this gsm modem?
[16:55] <gabe-20> I have looked at many "solutions" that suggest disabling IPv6 and still
[16:55] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: yes, but that doesn't change anything... one, two, or three the Internet speed is the same, worst than dial-up
[16:56] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 are you using wireless on them?
[16:56] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: yes, the problem happens when I use wireless connection only
[16:57] <MrELusiveone> ok then it could be a driver issue try direct lan conenction and see if the problem goes away. i know that on my notebook i had to use a new special driver for the wifi then it worked perfect
[16:58] <MrELusiveone> you could check to see if the are alternative drivers available for each notebook
[16:58] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: I am 100% sure it has to do with an update because I have had 10.04 LTS since its release and it has never been a problem. Some forums suggest that disabling IPv6 solves the issue but it has not worked for me
[16:58] <MrELusiveone> one sec
[16:59] <MrELusiveone> under system settings, try hitting the additional drivers icon and see if something for the wifi pops up
[17:00] <MrELusiveone> i know that since the recient update, i was able to start using the wifi on my dell  notebook thak god for who ever wrote the new driver
[17:00] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: no, only options for the graphics card
[17:00] <TJ-> gabe-20: That's using 10.04 is it? Are the WiFi devices all the same, or different make/model in each laptop?
[17:00] <MrELusiveone> i see, what model notebook
[17:01] <Alex_portugal> I have vaio vgn a397 xp
[17:01] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 what model notebook?
[17:01] <Alex_portugal> the comand "reboot" doesnt work
[17:01] <Alex_portugal> what can i do?
[17:01] <MrELusiveone> alex_portugal try reboot now
[17:02] <Alex_portugal> haha
[17:02] <gabe-20> TJ: yes, 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite, HP625, and 10.10 right now on my desktop PC
[17:02] <MrELusiveone> serious
[17:02] <MrELusiveone> the now argument after reboot works for most
[17:02] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone - TJ: I just installed a wireless NIC to the desktop to try it and is slow as well
[17:03] <TJ-> gabe-20: What wireless router is the network using?
[17:03] <Alex_portugal> Im with desktop pc... the issue is on laptop
[17:03] <Alex_portugal> ok i will try
[17:03] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 yeah unless one fo the tech suporters here have a better idea it may be due to the current driver you are using
[17:04] <Alex_portugal> doesnt work
[17:04] <gabe-20> TJ: Netgear... but again, everything has been the same for 2 yrs or so and suddenly all my PCs running Ubunto are slow. I think this is a problem with Ubuntu because my phones and iPad are up to speed
[17:04] <MrELusiveone> you will have to know the acutaly wifi device name and check to see if its fully supported
[17:04] <MrELusiveone> yeah that is wierd
[17:04] <TJ-> gabe-20: The fact you're seeing the same issue across all devices suggests its an issue with the WiFi router - either its configuration, or a runtime issue that has developed. Have you rebooted the WiFi router to ensure it is not directly causing the issue?
[17:04] <Sailor_Moon> hello=)
[17:04] <MrELusiveone> soemthing has been changed then
[17:05] <Alex_portugal> i already tried insert reboot=pci... on the boot... nathing
[17:05] <MrELusiveone> well i have seen routers go bad
[17:05] <Sailor_Moon> is there any console image editor?
[17:05] <Alex_portugal> nothing
[17:05] <TheMadDrizzle> Have a quick question about using an genesis emulator and a gamepad.  I'm trying to get Gens to work with a Saitek p990 gamepad, and everything works except my analog left button?  Yet it works in zSnes, anyone have any ideas on what to do?
[17:05] <jrib> Sailor_Moon: well... what kind of editing are we talking about?  There's imagemagick
[17:05] <beboj> !debian
[17:05] <MrELusiveone> Alex_portugal are you saying that the cmd reboot does not exist?
[17:05] <Sailor_Moon> or maybe, dos image editor?
[17:06] <TJ-> gabe-20: I'd be looking in /var/log/daemon.log and/or /var/log/syslog for clues as to what speeds the WiFi devices are connecting at, and any issues they are facing. It might also be worth checking /var/log/kern.log for kernel-level issues
[17:06] <Alex_portugal> no
[17:06] <MrELusiveone> or try a sudo reboot or sudo reboot now
[17:06] <Alex_portugal> im saying that its not working....
[17:06] <gabe-20> TJ: yes I have even called my ISP to check (it's their router) and they assured me there are no problems. My work laptop runs windows 7 and it is up to speed... I brought my Ubuntu laptop to work and the wireless connection is as slow as my home connection that's why I think it's an Ubuntu update issue
[17:06] <TJ-> Alex_portugal: are you doing "sudo reboot" ?
[17:06] <Alex_portugal> appears to be off ... but with black screen...
[17:07] <Alex_portugal> yes....i already tried..  sudo reboot
[17:07] <MrELusiveone> most cmds need a sudo for permission
[17:07] <TJ-> gabe-20: Thank-you. That certainly points to a shared issue across the Ubuntu devices. Does this issue occur when only one Ubuntu laptop is powered up?
[17:07] <Sailor_Moon> ...any image editor, which cam run in DosEmu? there is many editors, but non-free
[17:07] <Alex_portugal> doesnt work
[17:08] <jrib> Sailor_Moon: did you see what I told you?
[17:08] <Alex_portugal> but the poweroff comand works
[17:08] <TJ-> Alex_portugal: 'reboot' simply calls 'shutdown' - try "sudo shudown -r now"
[17:08] <Sailor_Moon> jrib: about imagemagic?
[17:08] <Alex_portugal> i will try
[17:08] <jrib> Sailor_Moon: that was half of what I said, yes
[17:08] <MrELusiveone> alex_portugal check to see if you have any pending updates
[17:09] <Sailor_Moon> jrib: to create any simple image from DosEmu.... this kind
[17:09] <gabe-20> TJ: it happens anytime, whether one, two, or more devices are connected wirelessly
[17:09] <Alex_portugal> doenst work and i dont have any pending updates....
[17:09] <Alex_portugal> what can i do?
[17:09] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 unless you can find a conflict iw ould be willing to bet the router or the routers settings are the blame
[17:10] <joro> have chat room  on ubuntu  from espanol
[17:10] <joro> spanish
[17:10] <TJ-> gabe-20: I'm trying to determine if multiple devices could be conflicting, that's why I asked specifically if it happens when only one device is powered up. 'Not being connected', if a device is powered up, doesn't mean it won't be talking to the WAP
[17:10] <Sailor_Moon> jrib: bmp, jpg, etc...
[17:10] <TJ-> Alex_portugal: check /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/kern.log for clues
[17:10] <lucido> hi
[17:10] <jrib> Sailor_Moon: I'm not really sure what you are asking for so I can't help you
[17:10] <Alex_portugal> ok i will do that
[17:11] <lucido> I cant boot into oneiric on a dell optiplex 745, screen goes blank after post says cant support video mode
[17:11] <Sailor_Moon> jrib: :(
[17:11] <gabe-20> TJ: I see... sorry I misunderstood the question but yeah, right now my desktop is the only one powered up and it is slow too
[17:12] <Sailor_Moon> jrib: i am asking for DosEmu or Freedos
[17:12] <TJ-> gabe-20: OK, we're doing a process of narrowing the issue down to determine what's best to check :)
[17:12] <jrib> Sailor_Moon: ok, well I don't know any dos apps
[17:12] <lordievader> Good evening.
[17:12] <Sailor_Moon> jrip: ok
[17:12] <katronix> Hi all, I just re-installed my Ubuntu server, I made a backup of my bind files, and now it seems that my axfr.conf file has options which are no longer understood. Is it possible to rebuild it?
[17:12] <MrELusiveone> lucido check to see in system settings if the is a option for a better video driver
[17:12] <wilee-nilee> lucido, This a fresh install or a post tweak?
[17:13] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: Can't blane the router settings at this point, I have brought my laptop to work and it is as slow when connected wirelessly
[17:13] <MrELusiveone>  lucido under system settings, try hitting the additional drivers icon
[17:13] <TJ-> gabe-20: Do you do anything special in terms of configuring DNS servers for those machines? In other words, is it name resolution causing this, or, is it that  single big-file downloads slow?
[17:13] <lucido> uh, it doesnt boot
[17:14] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 then it must be something with the driver then
[17:14] <lucido> blank screen after post
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | lucido
[17:14] <MrELusiveone> like its half working
[17:14] <MrELusiveone> right?
[17:14] <MrELusiveone> i would try a ping to yahoo.com and see if there are lost packets
[17:14] <lucido> wilee-nilee, problem is I cant even get to grub menu screen goes blank after post,
[17:15] <TJ-> MrELusive: The driver is fine! This is an issue with the network layer. As gabe-20 said it could be related to the IPv6 DNS issues, or it might be a slow link negotiation, or incorrect routing
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> lucido, If this is the only install you will need to hold the shift key down after powering on to see grub if it is 12.04.
[17:15] <Seven_Six_Two> I have this problem where my windows will be blank white when switching between active windows. Only a resize will bring back the contents. I have tried different video drivers (nvidia), but nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas?
[17:15] <MrELusiveone> hrmmm
[17:16] <lucido> wilee-nilee, its oneiric
[17:16] <MrELusiveone> did they revamp IPv6 last update?
[17:16] <Seven_Six_Two> It makes it so that I can't do my homework with 2 windows open at a time. Either one is blank, or the other is (when they're side-by-side)
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> lucido, I believe oneric is the same try the esc or shift key.
[17:16] <Derpian> Hey, whenever I patch thinkpad_acpi, it keeps saying it is in use, how do I avoid this?
[17:16] <gabe-20> TJ - MrELusiveone: It definitely has something to do with the drivers getting affected by whatever update Ubuntu performed last time. Like I said earlier, I'm not the only one who has seen this since many Ubuntu users have posted this problem in various forums
[17:17] <eamon> Is kubuntu gonna have the ads too?
[17:17] <gabe-20> TJ - MrELusiveone: However, the forums suggest it is a problem with IPv6 and that disabling it solves the issue... it didn't work for me though
[17:17] <TJ-> gabe-20: Could you pastebin me the results of these commands please? "iwconfig; ip route show; cat /etc/resolv.conf"
[17:17] <bazhang> eamon, since kubuntu does not have unity?
[17:17] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 yeah and for me it was the other way around i acuatualy gained the ability to use the wifi on my notebook since their update
[17:17] <^GeCk0^> <3 gubuntu
[17:18] <MrELusiveone> but you said you had been using ver 10.XXX right?
[17:18] <gabe-20> TJ: what's the pastbin url please?
[17:18] <Alex_portugal> I cant interpret the messages
[17:19] <OpenbsdVbox> !paste | gabe-20
[17:19] <gabe-20> thank you guys :)
[17:19] <Derpian> how do I kill thinkpad_acpi?
[17:19] <TJ-> gabe-20: That's it ^^^^ whilst you're there, also paste the output of "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding; ip -6 r"
[17:19] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 i wonder if a fresh install of the latest would solve the problem or just reinstall the old ver?
[17:20] <beboj> does anyone use sierra goobi 2000 5620 via wvdial, nm or anything?
[17:22] <gabe-20> TJ: sorry it took a while for obvious reasons: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220928/
[17:24] <TJ-> gabe-20: OK, I see the issue. Let's try fixing it.
[17:24] <Derpian> do any of you know how to get past: ERROR: Module thinkpad_acpi is in use
[17:24] <Derpian> I have no idea how to shutdown the acpi temporarily so I can add a patch to the kernel
[17:24] <gabe-20> TJ: awesome... what do you think it is please?
[17:24] <TJ-> gabe-20: Do you see a module listed with this command? "lsmod | grep ipv6"
[17:25] <gabe-20> TJ: no output for that command
[17:25] <MrELusiveone> missing?
[17:25] <MrELusiveone> :)
[17:25] <TJ-> gabe-20: That's good
[17:25] <gabe-20> yes ;)
[17:26] <TJ-> gabe-20: And what does this show: "uname -a"
[17:26] <Seven_Six_Two> can anyone recommend another distro for laptops? I have an HP g60, nvidia graphics. I can't have 2 windows side-by-side without 1 being blank white, and I can't work like this anymore. I love ubuntu, but I have to do my homework.
[17:26] <mikehaas763> I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with the Ubuntu supplied NVIDIA drivers for my Geforce 9800 GT. When I go into nvidia-settings and enable my 2nd monitor and click apply, it turns on and works great. Then I save the configuration to the xorg.conf file. However, when I reboot I get a message saying that the configuration is not supported and that I have to run in low graphics mode. Any idea what is wrong?
[17:26] <mikehaas763> I also just posted this on askubuntu.com
[17:26] <gabe-20> TJ: Linux Study-PC 2.6.35-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 7 18:41:54 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:27] <bazhang> Seven_Six_Two, this is ubuntu support
[17:27] <mikehaas763> ^^
[17:27] <Seven_Six_Two> bazhang, I know that
[17:27] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763 did you use the 32bit one?
[17:27] <bazhang> Seven_Six_Two, if you are distro shopping for something outside of ubuntu, then ##linux is a place to ask, not here
[17:28] <mikehaas763> MrELusiveone, it's whatever Ubuntu uses through it's Jockey tool. I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu btw
[17:28] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763 i would try the 32bit nstaller and see if the support is better
[17:29] <mikehaas763> MrELusiveone, 32 bit installer for the nvidia drivers or Ubuntu?
[17:29] <odinsbane> Damn, my ext4 partition died. I used fsck and all of my files are now put in the lost and found in #99012 directories. Supposedly this happened because I didn't unmount the drive before unplugging the device.
[17:29] <MrELusiveone> the whole thing
[17:29] <MrELusiveone> if there isnt a option for a diffrent driver
[17:29] <Aster> Seven_Six_Two, I'd recommend OpenSUSE or Arch. Arch is really nice if you have the patience for setting up a desktop environment.
[17:29] <bazhang> MrELusiveone, that wont solve the driver issue
[17:29] <mikehaas763> Eh, I'm not moving 32 bit Ubuntu that's moving backwards lol
[17:29] <MrELusiveone> i knwo in some cases 64bit support is limited
[17:30] <bazhang> MrELusiveone, thats not so
[17:30] <bazhang> Aster, please keep on topic with ubuntu support here, thanks
[17:30] <TJ-> gabe-20: We need to do some additional tests. The good news, you're not affected by the IPv6 issue
[17:30] <Seven_Six_Two> Aster, thanks!
[17:30] <gabe-20> TJ: sounds good
[17:30] <Aster> bazhang, it is, it's helping someone migrate from /UBUNTU/ to something else. :)
[17:30] <MrELusiveone> well for this machine I went with the 64bit instalelr but had to go for the newer video drivers to get full use of my card
[17:31] <TJ-> gabe-20: Give me a new minutes whilst I test some options out locally here on 10.04 (Most of my machines are on 12.04 now so I have to spin up an old device)
[17:31] <mikehaas763> How can I check what version of the NVIDIA drivers were installed through Jockey?
[17:31] <TJ-> gabe-20: s/new minutes/few minutes/
[17:31] <mikehaas763> * I'm looking for if it's 32 or 64 bit
[17:31] <gabe-20> TJ: no problem, take your time
[17:32] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763 my card is a nvidia too
[17:32] <MrELusiveone> a old 8700 one
[17:33] <TJ-> gabe-20: When you experience the slowness, how would you describe it? when web browsing, slow to find and load pages?
[17:33] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763 sometimes they offer other optional nvidia drivers
[17:33] <mikehaas763> they?
[17:33] <MrELusiveone> yeah under system settings
[17:33] <MrELusiveone> its called....
[17:33] <neojags> hi
[17:34] <MrELusiveone> additional drivers
[17:34] <mikehaas763> additiotional drivers?
[17:34] <TJ-> mikehaas763: The nvidia driver will match the kernel architecture.
[17:34] <mikehaas763> lol ya
[17:34] <MrELusiveone> yep that worked for me
[17:34] <neojags> need a bit of help on g41m combo lan drivers
[17:34] <MrELusiveone> solved all the little video issues
[17:34] <gabe-20> TJ: everything... to make a google search, to open www.msn.com, to click on a link, anything web-related is like using a dial-up connection
[17:34] <mikehaas763> TJ- Ok thanks I assumed so just wanted to make sure
[17:34] <MrELusiveone> but if you have mroe than one option you might have to try them till you get one that you like
[17:35] <MrELusiveone> they nromaly require a reboot too i think
[17:35] <mikehaas763> Ya so far I've tried version current and version current post release updates I'm about to try version 173 if that doesn't work I'm going to try drivers right from NVIDIA's website
[17:35] <MrELusiveone> yeah i tried 173 and didnt like that one
[17:35] <MrELusiveone> ill look and see wich i went with
[17:36] <mikehaas763> What's strange is when I enable my 2nd monitor and click apply it works great. It's after a reboot however that everything is messed up because it doesn't like my xconfiguration
[17:37] <neojags> carthik
[17:37] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763  for me the (post-release updates) ( version current-updates) one worked
[17:37] <TJ-> gabe-20: Have you tested the speed of downloading a single file to see what the sustained throughput is? That is a good test, because it tells us whether the issue is the line speed, or name resolution.  I believe it's name resolution, but I'd like to eliminate the possibility it is throughput too. Try starting a download of an Ubuntu ISO see what speed is reported
[17:38] <gabe-20> TJ: sure, one sec pleaes
[17:38] <Nikro> Hey guys, I just need a quick tip, I need a fast tool to measure distance in pixels, analyze image colors etc (for theming) is there a tool for that? from the top of your head? (except for gimp)
[17:38] <MrELusiveone> but you are using a dual head ?
[17:38] <MrELusiveone> mikehaas763  youa re using two cards?
[17:39] <joro> gf
[17:39] <MrELusiveone> or is it the signle card with dual hookup?
[17:39] <nikhatzi_> hello everybody. can you tell me where is the initramfs file in the ubuntu live cd? (the latest ubuntu live)

[17:42] <lobhater> hello all
[17:42] <gabe-20> TJ: it doesn't tell me the speed, it tells me how much it has downloaded of the total size but for you to have an idea, the estimated time is 11 hrs and 51 min
[17:42] <gabe-20> TJ: I used to download 700 MB in 20 min or so
[17:42] <gabe-20> TJ: never mind... the download speed is 23 Kbps :(
[17:43] <TJ-> gabe-20: Thanks, that's really useful

[17:43] <lobhater> has anyone had any luck correcting suspend issues? My labtop suspends fine, wakes up fine but I can't connect to my wireless router once it has woken up. Ive spent hours last night trying to fix it
[17:43] <TJ-> gabe-20: Please pastebin me the output of "lspci -nn; lsusb"
[17:43] <lobhater> it is the iwlwifi driver
[17:43] <bazhang> joro, please give some details
[17:44] <bazhang> !details | joro
[17:44] <joro> thiss  is came for security
[17:44] <bazhang> joro, thats not details.
[17:44] <gabe-20> TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220973/
[17:45] <TJ-> lobhater: The solution is to list the iwlwifi driver to be unloaded at sleep so it is reloaded at resume; I recall vaguely doing it once - I think you add the module name to a file/script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ - see if that clue helps you on Google
[17:45] <sparlund> OpenbsdVbox:  I didnt reallt understand anything. Could you give me maybe a more specific topic? =)
[17:46] <MrELusiveone> is 05:02.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC [168c:001a] (rev 01) your wifi?
[17:46] <lobhater> i did that, i did:  modprobe -rf iwlwifi and then under the resume switch case i did modprobe iwlwifi
[17:46] <lobhater> no go
[17:46] <MrELusiveone> game-20?
[17:46] <lobhater> is that what u meant?
[17:46] <MrELusiveone> err gabe-20?
[17:46] <TJ-> gabe-20: thanks.. now let me have more pastebin detail about the WiFi card: "sudo lspci -vvvnn -s 05:02.0"
[17:46] <gabe-20> MrELusiveone: yes?
[17:46] <lobhater> Tj-:i did that, i did:  modprobe -rf iwlwifi and then under the resume switch case i did modprobe iwlwifi
[17:47] <MrELusiveone> gabe-20 is the 05:02.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC [168c:001a] (rev 01) your wifi or standard lan port?
[17:47] <TJ-> lobhater: yes; OK, I'd suggest checking the log files (/var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog) for clues around the suspend/resume event
[17:47] <joro> this is my camara

[17:48] <lobhater> TJ-: i have, the one thing that is really weird i think at least is after resume it is sending directed probe requests to the mac address of my wirelessrouter, which is normal but there is never a response
[17:48] <MrELusiveone> the name youw ere quoting earlyer must have been for your router

[17:51] <lobhater> TJ:- is there a way for me to stop sleep.d from taking any action on my wireless device and just allow me to handle it 100% myself?  I have tried adding scripts that get called before suspend happens that brings down wlan0, unloads the kern mod gracefully but it still wont resume after it wakes up even when i reload the kern mod and bring up the interface etc etc

[17:57] <Aster> I shall ask again. :L
[17:57] <Aster> I have two gpus, one is from Nvidia, and has two displays on it. The other is integrated into my i7 2600, and has one display on it. All three displays work fine on Windows, but on Linux (more specifically, Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS), only the NVidia displays work. And when certain programs run, I get a "RandR extension is not present" error.
[17:57] <L3top> Aster: I would not expect both nvidia and intel to work at the same time.
[17:57] <compdoc> Dantevios, what are you trying to know?
[17:57] <Aster> Any idea on how I could get that display to work?
[17:57] <lobhater> thanks for the room help guys
[17:57] <Aster> L3top, they don't.

[17:59] <whackatre> i'm installing ubuntu 12.0.4 and my installation freezes during the wireless stage
[17:59] <joro> will help  me same  or not ?
[17:59] <Dantevios> compdoc: how to get an HVM working in Ubuntu. From what I've derived from the overwhelming amount of information on the googles so far is that 1. You have to install the Xen hypervisor, it's a package in ubuntu. 2. You have to use some tools like XCP or Project Kronos's port of XCP to Ubuntu to manage the Xen Hypervisor. 3. You need to setup an HVM somehow to get GPU passthrough to a VM
[17:59] <lmbeta8> iceweasel is web browser looking for
[17:59] <whackatre> i chose "i don't want to connect to a wi-fi network right now" and it's never continuing.
[18:00] <Aster> Cottus, that would be nice. I'd at least have something to compare to.. Thanks. :)
[18:00] <wilee-nilee> !info iceweasel
[18:00] <gabe-20> TJ: I'm back... how do I see that bug please?
[18:00] <wilee-nilee> lmbeta8, ^^^^
[18:00] <L3top> !info iceweasel | Dantevios  I do not believe it exists in repos, you will have to find a ppa most likely.
[18:01] <L3top> erp... that was for lmbeta8
[18:01] <Cottus> Aster, http://pastebin.com/3VFZjH6g
[18:01] <Dantevios> L3top: ? there are ppa repos for Project Kronos I know this
[18:01] <lmbeta8> ok thanks
[18:01] <TJ-> lobhater: sorry; was off researching another issue. Break the issue down a bit. If unloading the kernel module doesn't solve the issue, then it is likely to be higher up the network stack. So, look to see if wpa_supplicant is (still) running on resume ("ps -ef | grep wpa"  - that is responsible for signing onto the WiFi network), check the Wifi status ("iwconfig wlan0") then check the IP layer to see if the IP address has been configured ("ifconfig wlan0"), then check
[18:01] <TJ->  the routing ("ip route show")
[18:01] <Aster> Cottus, thanks much!

[18:02] <Seven_Six_Two> is there a trick to adding applets to the panel in gnome-classic? alt-rightclick isn't doing anything for me
[18:02] <TJ-> lobhater: I'd love to say "No" but...! :p
[18:02] <lobhater> lol ok great thanks
[18:03] <gabe-20> TJ: reading :)
[18:03] <Dantevios> I'm not sure passthroughs work with KVM either which is why I want to use Xen compdoc. I have read of some success stories with xen passing through GPUs. I really want to set up an HVM that can pass through my GPU to a Windows HVM so I can play Direct3D accelerated games at near host OS performace
[18:04] <Dantevios> but not have to run Winblows as my main OS
[18:04] <TJ-> gabe-20: If you can do the tests detailed in comment #8 of that bug-report, that would help us ascertain if the issue you're seeing is the same one
[18:04] <compdoc> Dantevios, the best vdeo performance Ive seen is using virtualbox. I havent used xen in years, but maybe its better. dont know
[18:05] <TJ-> gabe-20: For the bug to be the root-cause of your issue, *all* your devices would have to be using those Atheros devices with the ath5k driver
[18:05] <MrELusiveone> Dantevios ive been using wine+winetricks to game
[18:05] <Dantevios> Well the interface to the hardware is much closer compdoc so I imagine it would be
[18:05] <trism> Seven_Six_Two: if you are using the compiz session you may need alt+super+right click , if that doesn't work you may have changed one of the metacity settings which breaks it
[18:05] <bekks> vbox does not use the host GPU but uses an emulated GPU.
[18:05] <Dantevios> MrELusiveone: any of the wine configuration tools do not support the games I like to play MrELusiveone.
[18:06] <Dantevios> I think wine has come a long way and is cool but still I have not had much luck with it.
[18:06] <MrELusiveone> Dantevios yeah you have to tweak it
[18:06] <Derpian> what is the apt-get command that holds packages (Much like aptitude)?
[18:07] <Klavier> how can i upgrade firefox 14 to 15.1,  cant find .deb package
[18:07] <bazhang> !pinning | Derpian you mean this?
[18:07] <MrELusiveone> Dantevios i had to supply dll's as needed but the options in wine makes it easy
[18:07] <Dantevios> Besides there is more than just using a hypervisor to pass through hardware to an HVM to play
[18:07] <Derpian> Klavier: wait till they update it in the repo or go to mozillas site
[18:07] <Dantevios> that I want to do
[18:08] <Ghotswa> Hello to the most Amazing OS Community !!

[18:08] <Dantevios> Xen splits the resources of a computer so that it can use the same GPU for two different machines and ideally what I want to do MrELusiveone is forward two seperate keyboards, monitors, and mice to two different HVMs so my girlfriend and myself can share my computer to play direct3d games together
[18:09] <Derpian> bazhang: thanks, I did not need help with pinning but the article covered holding.
[18:09] <bekks> Dantevios: Which is not true regarding what you want.
[18:09] <Klavier> Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[18:09] <bekks> When passing through the host GPU to a XEN VM, no other VM is able to use it - and the host isnt able to use it, too.
[18:09] <bekks> Thats why it is called "pass through".
[18:09] <MrELusiveone> Dantevios  sounds like alot of demand of cpu and gpu forsure
[18:09] <bazhang> Klavier, and its fully up to date?
[18:10] <Klavier> yes it is ubuntu based distrubition,
[18:10] <bazhang> Klavier, which one
[18:10] <Klavier> actually it s backtrack
[18:10] <MrELusiveone> full emulation of os and game always demands more
[18:10] <bazhang> Klavier, thats not supported here
[18:10] <bekks> !backtrack | Klavier
[18:11] <Dantevios> I don't think that's correct bekks. From what I've read passthrough just allows the HVM to talk to the GPU directly instead of going through the host OS
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> Klavier  backtrack is a security and networking intrusion distro
[18:11] <bekks> Dantevios: I know it is correct ;)
[18:11] <Klavier> MonkeyDust, i know that iam using it as desktop too
[18:11] <lobhater> TJ-: I am back,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221038/ there are my results before and after.  All seems fine except for the fact that I am not connected?  any insight?
[18:11] <Dantevios> MrELusiveone: that's why I have a beefy enough machine that can handle it
[18:12] <Klavier> it s war horse :P
[18:12] <Dantevios> Howso bekks?
[18:12] <bekks> Dantevios: Passing through an entire PCI(E) device removes the ability of the host and of other VMs to use it, since it is attached to a distinct VM exclusively.
[18:12] <bazhang> Klavier, /join #backtrack-linux
[18:12] <Klavier> ok
[18:12] <TJ-> lobhater: This stands out "Tx excessive retries:38470"
[18:12] <MrELusiveone> Dantevios  yeah i want to build my next machine with 6 cores and have 32gig ram
[18:12] <Dantevios> MrELusiveone: That would be a pretty nice machine. Mine is 4 cores and 16 gigs of ram atm
[18:13] <MrELusiveone> yeah ive doen ym shopping just need the $$
[18:13] <MrELusiveone> :D
[18:13] <Dantevios> I'll have to look up a reference to that somewhere bekks.
[18:13] <lobhater> TJ-: where are you seeing that after suspend?
[18:13] <TJ-> lobhater: Before suspend. And after suspend, the interface hasn't associated with the WAP. That implicates the hardware, or wpa_supplicant
[18:14] <bekks> Dantevios: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough -- Third question.
[18:14] <TJ-> lobhater: look in /var/log/syslog. pastebin the log entries from when the device resumed. There should be some clues.
[18:15] <gabe-20> TJ - MrELusiveone: thank you both for your time, I have some reading to go so and other things to do so I'll come back another day
[18:15] <gabe-20> bye ;)
[18:15] <TJ-> lobhater: What is the WiFi device? USB dongle? internal PCI?
[18:15] <TJ-> gabe-20: Good luck!
[18:15] <Dantevios> Thanks bekks
[18:15] <Dantevios> That's dissappointing
[18:15] <MrELusiveone> hope he has better luck
[18:16] <lobhater> internal PCI, although I have also tried a usb alpha adapter and had the same issues

[18:19] <bekks> thx
[18:19] <Seven_Six_Two> trism, sorry for the delay. That did the trick. Thanks!
[18:19] <bekks> Dantevios: Thats what "exclusive" means ;)
[18:20] <TJ-> lobhater: Looking
[18:22] <lobhater> TJ-: thanks, i spent so long last night looking over logs my head started to hurt, so thanks for the fresh set of eyes. i even tried commenting out every line in the pm scripts i thought might effect my wifi and still couldnt get it to work
[18:23] <Nightpenguin> I have a slight problem with gnome-session-fallback, it seems.
[18:23] <TJ-> lobhater: up to line  300 it looks good
[18:23] <trennor> you might remember yesterday I was lamenting very slow ubuntu, and I attributed it to Firefox, and I was right: if you're running Firefox Ad Blocker, turn it off, disable it, get rid of it because that's wot was causing the problem for me.
[18:23] <lobhater> yea i agress
[18:23] <lobhater> it seems so graceful
[18:24] <Nightpenguin> If I drag a window so it's partially off the bottom of the screen
[18:24] <TJ-> lobhater: Then it keeps hitting "[ 4342.296739] iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: Queue 0 stuck for 2000 ms" and forces hardware resets which don't clear the error
[18:24] <Nightpenguin> and then mouse over the "window list" applet,
[18:24] <lobhater> TJ-: i also think it might be  kernel: [ 4331.454698] hp_wmi: Unknown event_id - 10 - 0x1
[18:25] <lobhater> but I cant find out what that is
[18:25] <Nightpenguin> The window jumps back to the bottom of the screen.
[18:25] <TJ-> lobhater: bug #1009878
[18:26] <lobhater> TJ-: im gonna read it brb
[18:26] <grimeton> hi
[18:26] <grimeton> are there any special changes made to the lts kernel?
[18:26] <bekks> grimeton: Changes regarding what exactly?
[18:27] <grimeton> bekks: block devices
[18:27] <bekks> grimeton: Do you have a specific problem with them using Ubuntu?
[18:28] <joro> give   meee   driver for web cam NGS Webcam Sparrow
[18:28] <grimeton> bekks: windows 7 x64 in virtualbox on ubuntu 12.04 lts http://imgur.com/vLpQL
[18:28] <Nightpenguin> Could someone help?
[18:28] <bazhang> !webcam | joro read these links
[18:29] <bekks> grimeton: Windows progress bars always lie, especially when copying very small files.
[18:29] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: have you asked a question about your problem?
[18:29] <grimeton> bekks: yeah, especially when you wait for 30 minutes already ...
[18:29] <grimeton> it's a shame
[18:29] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: Yes, a moment ago, but I accidentally disconnected.
[18:29] <joro> havent ngs :((((((((((((((((
[18:29] <lobhater> TJ-: it seems to me after reading that maybe there is also something going on with my specific router too? but how could that be? I guess I could suspend, restart my router to see if that does it?  I would be really surprised though.  what are you thinking?
[18:30] <grimeton> bekks: i already removed barriers and stuff, but no change
[18:30] <bekks> grimeton: Then take a look at the I/O on your host. Blame it on windows ;)

[18:30] <grimeton> bekks: same hardware, other distro, and the vms start to fly
[18:30] <TJ-> lobhater: some kind of regression in the driver - other distros are suffering too, and it seems its a mainline kernel issue
[18:30] <lobhater> TJ-: and what dos a restart of my labtop do that fixes it? could I just add that to a script and execute it on resume?
[18:30] <mre> wow thats two ghosts i have on here now
[18:30] <grimeton> bekks: so imho, it can only be something in the chain from vbox to the harddrives
[18:31] <lobhater> yea last night i tried different kernels with no luck
[18:31] <bekks> grimeton: In that case, all Ubuntu hosts should have that problem, which they dont.
[18:31] <mre> it seems that xchat likes to crash sometimes when opening a weblink from chat
[18:31] <grimeton> bekks: so how does that answer help me now?
[18:31] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: I don't know if what you describe is configurable.
[18:31] <TJ-> lobhater: a hardware reset causes all registers to be cleared - soft resets often don't
[18:32] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: Well, it seems like a bug to me.
[18:32] <mre> any idea how to remove a ghost from here? i forget
[18:32] <grimeton> bekks: http://imgur.com/Mo2eT
[18:32] <bekks> grimeton: The answer helps you in that way, that you know that it isnt a general Ubuntu problem.
[18:32] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: what window manager are you using?
[18:32] <grimeton> bekks: yeah, it has to be something different ...
[18:32] <lobhater> TJ-: i know nothing about that subject. is there something I could do yo forced that to occur without restart?
[18:32] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: X
[18:32] <TJ-> lobhater: Try rebooting, access the GRUB boot menu, edit the kernel command-line and add "iwlwifi.wd_disable=1" ... boot and test through a suspend/resume cycle. According to reports, that should be a workaround for now
[18:32] <maplesoft> iam using ssh -D 8080 -i key user server addres to my vps and then useing 127.0.0.1:8080 as proxy server on my browser options. i cant browse by that way. i have allowed 8080 port for servers firewal. what can be the reason of failur?
[18:32] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: which ubuntu are you using
[18:33] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: 12.04.1 LTS
[18:33] <TJ-> lobhater: If that does work you can add the setting as a default to the boot menus via /etc/default/grub and then doing an update-grub
[18:33] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: with unity?
[18:33] <compdoc> grimeton, even your second pic shows its slow
[18:33] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: No (slaps forehead; I should have said this first) gnome-session-fallback.
[18:33] <lobhater> TJ-: Ok i will try that. be back after while.  Hope your still here so I can atleast thank you for all the help wether it works or not
[18:33] <grimeton> compdoc: i know
[18:33] <TJ-> lobhater: I'll hang about :)
[18:34] <maplesoft> hello?
[18:34] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: I think you'll need to submit a bug if you want to see it change.
[18:34] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: you could also check on irc.gnome.org and see if any of the #gnome guys will help you. Though that is somewhat rare.
[18:34] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: Okay. I'm here because the bug-support page said to use apport, and apport told me to get tech support, and the tech support page told me to use the irc channel.
[18:35] <odinsbane> Nightpenguin: so you submit a bug? and then you ran apport #bug-number ?
[18:35] <bekks> grimeton: Have you checked the max. throughput of your disks in Ubuntu? Have you checked the throughput of a VM when just using a livecd in a VM and doing the same tests as on your host?
[18:36] <Nightpenguin> odinsbane: No, I meant "ubuntu-bug". Which said to go to the tech support page.
[18:36] <grimeton> bekks: i don't need to test that, to see that it is slow with ubuntu 12.04 lts
[18:37] <bekks> Well, I cant see that here. If you dont want to investigate further, I'm sorry for not being able to help you.
[18:37] <grimeton> bekks: ...
[18:37] <maplesoft> can anyone see my text?
[18:37] <IdleOne> yes
[18:37] <asclkn> yes.
[18:37] <bazhang> maplesoft, ubuntu support question?
[18:38] <maplesoft> bazhang:  yes
[18:38] <maplesoft> iam using ssh -D 8080 -i key user server addres to my vps and then useing 127.0.0.1:8080 as proxy server on my browser options. i cant browse by that way. i have allowed 8080 port for servers firewal. what can be the reason of failur?
[18:38] <maplesoft> both vps and my system are ubuntu
[18:38] <lobhater> TJ-: should i add it to            GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAUL   or   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX   ?
[18:38] <maplesoft> IdleOne:  asclkn  ^
[18:39] <Nightpenguin> ... I do wish my client would stop crashing.
[18:39] <maplesoft> IdleOne:  asclkn  bazhang  do you know the answer?
[18:40] <IdleOne> maplesoft: no, but isn't 127.0.0.1 localhost?
[18:40] <maplesoft> IdleOne:  yes
[18:40] <IdleOne> maplesoft: ##networking might be a better place to ask.
[18:41] <maplesoft> ok

[18:51] <Nightpenguin> Okay, I just submitted bug #1054708
[18:52] <Nightpenguin> Whatever do I do now?
[18:52] <IdleOne> Nightpenguin: Now you wait and hope it gets fixed soon.
[18:52] <lobhater> TJ-: That was a no go, shoot i had hopes.  One last question.  Is there a way for me to just disable what happens to wlan0 when i click suspend and I will just handle bringing it down myself?
[18:52] <Nightpenguin> Oh.
[18:53] <gurrag> What is the best way to migrate an Ubuntu installation with encrypted ~ to a new hard drive?
[18:53] <MrElusiveone> ghost it
[18:53] <peepsalot> what do i use to scan a document?  i have used gimp in the past, but there is no longer an option to scan under the file menu
[18:53] <gurrag> peepsalot: try xsane
[18:54] <peepsalot> i wonder why it was removed from gimp
[18:54] <MrElusiveone> peepsalot there is some scanner apps availble
[18:54] <peepsalot> is there anything installed by default?
[18:55] <MrElusiveone> you look at the online apps store
[18:55] <MrElusiveone> i was ooking today and say some ones for flatbed scanners
[18:55] <MrElusiveone> ubuntu software center
[18:56] <MrElusiveone> i duno if it was removed from gimp
[18:56] <SlvSlimer> quick question: is sound through hdmi automatically supported in ubuntu?
[18:56] <SlvSlimer> or does it need additional configuration?
[18:56] <MrElusiveone> could be one of those things that if you have a scanner driver installed it gives the option?
[18:57] <IdleOne> SilverSlimer: you might need to select the correct device in the sound settings but it should just work
[18:58] <SilverSlimer> thanks idleone
[18:58] <SilverSlimer> and is there ANY way of getting netflix to work in ubuntu?
[18:58] <IdleOne> no
[18:58] <SilverSlimer> bastard netflix
[18:59] <IdleOne> agreed, but lets keep the language clean :)
[18:59] <SilverSlimer> shouldn't using an open-source implementation of silverlight technically allow it to work?
[19:00] <IdleOne> SilverSlimer: simplest way is to install windows in a VM and use netflix that way.
[19:00] <SilverSlimer> simplest? alright
[19:00] <SilverSlimer> lol
[19:00] <shantorn> no it doesnt, but if you install a VM software then install windows then use windows it will work lol
[19:01] <SilverSlimer> that is so ridiculous though. why would netflix want to LIMIT its audience?
[19:01] <SilverSlimer> what sense does that even make?
[19:01] <IdleOne> SilverSlimer: makes perfect sense but this is offtopic, #ubuntu-offtopic for general discussion please
[19:02] <SilverSlimer> oh, alright
[19:02] <shantorn> windows is the predominant os out there os its smart not to have to have an IT dertment to support a minority
[19:02] <rajnish> hey  can anyone tell me about SVN how to install and deploy it
[19:02] <shantorn> sorry
[19:02] <SilverSlimer> shantom: it'S alright, no apologies necessary. you weren't behind the decision, i'm sure.
[19:03] <shantorn> google this for your answer rajnish ubuntu how to install and dploy SVN
[19:03] <shantorn> some good info on google

[19:26] <MrElusiveone> karlg post how it looks now
[19:27] <karlg> on rebooting, it tells that it 's impossible to mount DATAw on /media/DATAw.
[19:28] <llutz> karlg: "sudo mkdir /media/DATAw && mount /media/DATAw"
[19:28] <MrElusiveone> do a mkdir /media/DATAw      ??
[19:28] <MrElusiveone> well sudo

[19:30] <llutz> karlg: "ls -l /media"
[19:32] <karlg> that's the result llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221174/. but i have to tell you that I have mount DATAw on /media/DATAw later. this justifes the output.
[19:33] <llutz> karlg:does your fstab-line look like this now? UUID=C013-7E8E    /media/DATAw    vfat     uid=1000,gid=1000,users    0       2

[19:51] <brightsparks> Hi. Any suggestions for a good simple program that I can use to encrypt files onto a flashdrive and that I can then use on any other computer without needing Admin rights and where the progrm isn't installed?
[19:51] <escott> brightsparks, gpg
[19:51] <llutz> brightsparks: gpg
[19:51] <llutz> ups, to slow
[19:52] <brightsparks> escott:will that allow me to open and manage and add to the files on a windows computer?
[19:52] <brightsparks> llutz:will that allow me to open and manage and add to the files on a windows computer?
[19:53] <llutz> brightsparks: gpg de-/encrypts files, its up to you what you want to do with it.
[19:53] <escott> brightsparks, is open source and pgp compatible. general purpose file encryption tool

[20:05] <pth> Derpian: Stand by.

[20:07] <Derpian> that's not the bug I get
[20:07] <Derpian> I'm not using ubuntu one

[20:08]  * truexfan81 is having a problem after the last batch of updates to 12.04
[20:09] <truexfan81> it seems to be ignoring my power management settings
[20:09] <truexfan81> displays are going to sleep even tho all settings are set to never
[20:09] <truexfan81> whats going on here?
[20:10] <bekks> truexfan81: Did you set your displays (physical ones) to not go to sleep?
[20:10] <truexfan81> bekks: yes
[20:10] <truexfan81> bekks: it is a software issue, they wake up when i move the mouse
[20:11] <bekks> truexfan81: That doesnt indicate a software issue.
[20:11] <chovynz> guntbert_: thanks for replying. I figured it out
[20:11] <bekks> truexfan81: It just indicates that they wake up when you move the mouse.
[20:11] <guntbert_> chovynz: fine :)
[20:12] <truexfan81> bekks: also as i said, i did not have this problem until the last batch of updates
[20:12] <rkokkelk> Hey guys! Has anyone suggestions on how to effectively force application to be always place 1 physical screen (I've got 2). I've tried using DISPLAY but that forces me to make a lot of small scripts
[20:12] <jrib> rkokkelk: devilspie maybe :x
[20:13] <truexfan81> anyone?
[20:13] <rkokkelk> jrib: Tried that one, didn't really work for me but I think I have to take another look!
[20:13] <jrib> truexfan81: pastebin output of « xset q »
[20:13] <jrib> rkokkelk: well I'm not sure it will do what you ask; I haven't used it in a very long time
[20:15] <truexfan81> jrib: http://pastebin.com/gpRTL2ss
[20:15] <truexfan81> do you need the one from my netbook? it is doing this also
[20:15] <jrib> truexfan81: you still have screensaver with blanking enabled after 10 minutes of inactivity
[20:16] <truexfan81> jrib: gui is not showing that
[20:17] <AaronCampbell> Is there a walkthrough someone could point me to for moving my home directory to a separate drive?
[20:17] <jrib> truexfan81: modify with xset and see if your monitor stops blanking; we can proceed from there
[20:17] <jrib> !separatehome | AaronCampbell
[20:18] <truexfan81> jrib: was xset s off the correct command?
[20:18] <jrib> truexfan81: maybe
[20:19] <truexfan81> its not real clear on how to do it, so i was guessing a bit
[20:19] <jrib> truexfan81: that sounds right
[20:26] <truexfan81> jrib: that seems to have fixed it
[20:26] <truexfan81> i did the same command on my netbook
[20:27] <jrib> truexfan81: ok, now you must figure out why the gui doesn't change that setting
[20:27] <k4r1m> I can't seem to able to connect to the internet via my ubuntu machine anymore, I can connect to my router admin page no problem and I also tried the same hardline I'm using on a macbook and it worked fine..

[20:27] <sarrous> hi all. has any one installed blender on ubuntu?
[20:27] <jrib> sarrous: ask your real question
[20:27] <SiDz> anyone know the syntax of /etc/debsums-ignore ? i cant find
[20:27] <truexfan81> jrib: the last thing i did was upgrade the kernel
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> -31
[20:28] <sarrous> jrib how do i install blender on ubuntu
[20:28] <jrib> !software | sarrous
[20:28] <jrib> sarrous: blender is in the repositories; use your favorite package manager
[20:28] <truexfan81> jrib: i'll try to catch you tomorrow, i'm a hour and a half past bed time now
[20:28] <sarrous> jrib. thats an old version. trying to get new one on machine
[20:29] <jrib> SiDz: read /usr/share/doc/debsums/README
[20:29] <jrib> sarrous: what's the new one do that the old one doesn't?
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> sarrous  software center, synaptic, apt-get install, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/ or http://appnr.com/
[20:30] <sarrous> jrib. lots, i'm taking it that your not a blender user
[20:30] <jrib> sarrous: well 2.62 is the repositories and the latest release is 2.63
[20:31] <sarrous> I'm showing 2.58 in the res
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> sarrous  if you're using the very newest version of things, you're a pioneer and can't expect much help or support
[20:31] <jrib> sarrous: what ubuntu version?
[20:32] <sarrous> jrib. from the sounds of it an old one. how do i find out?
[20:32] <Guest26049> this is going to sound stupid but where do I install the grub bootloader?
[20:32] <jrib> !version | sarrous
[20:32] <MrElusiveone> geeze what ever could be wrong with just Version?
[20:33] <MonkeyDust> sarrous  type lsb_release -sd
[20:33] <MrElusiveone> the simple cmds in life would be nice
[20:33] <MrElusiveone> :D
[20:33] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: -sd?  don't you mean -sc?
[20:33] <Jordan_U> Guest26049: grub's boot sector should always go in the MBR, so something like "sda" or "sdb", and *not* a partition like "sda3".
[20:33] <sarrous> ah thats why 11.10
[20:33] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  whatever you prefer
[20:33] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: oh sorry, sd does show version.  my bad.
[20:34] <MrElusiveone> its like how could any ever think that sd stands for ver?
[20:34] <jrib> MrElusiveone: the documentation :x
[20:34] <MrElusiveone> ok so its been documented
[20:35] <MrElusiveone> but does it sound right?

[20:37] <jrib> sarrous: as to how you should proceed... If you were planning on upgrading to 12.04 anyway, then that should sort you out.  If you want to stay on 11.10, then you could see if the version available in 12.04 is available in the backports repository, and if not, backport it yourself (you can ask ubottu about this).  Finally, you could choose to use the tar.gz that blender.org provides but that means that you
[20:37] <jrib> will forever be responsible for updating it
[20:37] <MrElusiveone> why are you posting that here?
[20:37] <k4r1m> anyone?

[20:45] <MrElusiveone> oh didnt knwo there was one called ed
[20:45] <kelvinella> hi i need help.  I create a zip file in ubuntu but i forgot the password.  how to recover that?  its kind of urgent

[20:46] <MrElusiveone> oh is it like stone aged or something
[20:47] <zykotick9> puppy_parade: AMD/ATI's "open" drivers, still require non-free firmware... :(
[20:47] <jrib> MrElusiveone: well it's a step up from opening your hard drive up and using a magnet
[20:47] <MrElusiveone> already have it :P
[20:47] <puppy_parade> zykotick9, I don't follow. Is there something explaining that?
[20:47] <MrElusiveone> heh
[20:48] <MrElusiveone> you could just open your hd and take the magnets out
[20:48] <MrElusiveone> now yer talking some fun
[20:48] <MrElusiveone> but seriously what is the best development package in ubuntu?
[20:48] <jrib> kelvinella: recreate the zip with a new password

[20:49] <vartotojas> Hey. Can somebody help me out with my wine? The problem is that on wine im trying to play lineage2 and when i launch l2 i get message saying that AGP is desactivated... And wine window is not big enough to play l2 normaly. How i can change wine rezolution?
[20:49] <kelvinella> jrib, i have the file i wont be asking it here
[20:50] <MrElusiveone> ok i see the picture  but what is that program?
[20:50] <kelvinella> jrib, the story is this, it is companys sensitive file so i compress it twice
[20:50] <MonkeyDust> MrElusiveone  Quickly uses Glade to create python apps
[20:50] <kelvinella> and has 2 different passwords
[20:50] <MrElusiveone> python and gtk
[20:50] <zykotick9> vartotojas: i'd try asking in #winehq myself...

[20:52] <kelvinella> but the funny thing is i try password "facebook" it does uncompress the directory inside it
[20:53] <kelvinella> but no file in the directory strange

[20:53] <jrib> kelvinella: you'll have to read its documentation
[20:56] <MrElusiveone> man. you start install quickly and its does take a bit :P
[20:57] <MonkeyDust> MrElusiveone  has seen the light :)

[20:58] <geekwani> i tried changing using su
[20:58] <geekwani> @zykotick9 its only for personal use in a VM

[20:59] <geekwani> sry

[21:09] <geekwani> @TJ-  isnt there a work around?
[21:09] <genoobie> zykotick9, well the model is an Atheros AR242x / AR542x wan adapter PCI-Express rev 01
[21:09] <TJ-> geekwani: Yes. give the directory/file group ownership to "www-data"
[21:10] <TJ-> genoobie: Can you tell us the PCI Vendor:Device ID. Use "lspci -nn" and we want the 8 hex digits from the end of the line for that device. eg. a235:6705
[21:10] <genoobie> an rfkill list ok
[21:10] <zykotick9> genoobie: i haven't started reading but have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/78115/help-set-up-atheros-ar242x-ar542x-wireless-adapter
[21:11] <k4r1m> is there anyone to maybe rollback from last ubuntu update? I think it somehow broke my internet >.<
[21:11] <genoobie> well I had lubuntu and it worked on this
[21:11] <genoobie> so I just assumed it would work on ubuntu
[21:12] <genoobie> TJ-, yes just a sec
[21:12] <HoNgOuRu> hi, I want to use find with --exec to find directories that match a certain pattern and then move the hits to a directory, it is not working, it says that the mv command fails cause the directory has files in it... any way to force the move command ?
[21:12] <TJ-> genoobie: were they the same release (e.g. 12.04) and therefore the same kernel?
[21:12] <genoobie> TJ-, I thought so...but i could be wrong
[21:12] <geekwani> @TJ- , @jrib , @zykotick9 thx for help..
[21:12] <zykotick9> genoobie: i certainly don't have your model - and after initial searching... i really don't know what you should do :( sorry man, i got nothin'.  best of luck.  is additinal drivers (or whatever) on the livecd?
[21:12] <genoobie> the output is
[21:12] <F1CCC> test
[21:13] <MrElusiveone> ok seems that quickly is missing the design cmd
[21:13] <TJ-> HoNgOuRu: "find . -type d -name 'somename*' -exec mv {} /path/to/destination/dir/ \; "
[21:13] <zykotick9> F1CCC: fail.
[21:13] <HoNgOuRu> TJ-, that command exactly is what Im using
[21:14] <genoobie> "07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:001c] (rev 01)
[21:14] <TJ-> HoNgOuRu: Did you include the trailing "/" on the destination directory-name of the 'mv' command?
[21:14] <TJ-> genoobie: thanks, we can look up specifics now for PCI device 168C:001C
[21:14] <genoobie> TJ-, where?
[21:14] <TJ-> genoobie: Everywhere!
[21:14] <chovynz> how do i lock the gui while it's doing some work? e.g. i've got kids in teh room and i dont want them interrupting the processes.
[21:15] <HoNgOuRu> TJ-,  YES !
[21:15] <MrElusiveone> never mind i got it
[21:15] <TJ-> genoobie: First place is existing Ubuntu big reports, using this search: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/?field.searchtext=168C%3A001C&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_pa
[21:15] <TJ-> tch=&field.has_no_package=
[21:15] <HoNgOuRu> it says "it cant delete the objective: its a directory"
[21:15] <TJ-> Aghhh! sorry, I'll tinyurl that!
[21:15] <zykotick9> chovynz: theory only - set a screensaver password, find the "active screensaver" shortcut/command/or-something.
[21:16] <HoNgOuRu> probably cause mv use cp and rm
[21:16] <genoobie> TJ-, tx
[21:16] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: no
[21:16] <HoNgOuRu> jrib, then ?
[21:16] <TJ-> genoobie: I've edited it down. Try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/?field.searchtext=168C%3A001C
[21:16] <HoNgOuRu> or so ?
[21:16] <zykotick9> jrib: ya i doubt mv uses cp as well
[21:17] <dantevios> I keep getting an issue with 12.04.1 LTS Desktop and I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Every once in a while (like in a half hour to an hour period) X will lock up and get stuck entering in the same keystroke over and over again or the same mouse click action over and over again.
[21:17] <jrib> I guess on different filesystems that happens (or something like that)
[21:17] <HoNgOuRu> well, cause the error Im getting is probably from the rm command
[21:17] <HoNgOuRu> jrib, that could be
[21:17] <TJ-> Dantevios: check the log-file /var/log/kern.log
[21:17] <Dantevios> it's really annoying and making 12.04 almost unusable. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the ati restricted drivers or what
[21:17] <genoobie> ugh, not really sure how to interpret this
[21:18] <Meris> Dantevios, are you sure it's X and not Compiz that's misbhehaving?
[21:18] <Dantevios> Nope Meris I have no idea at all it could be Compiz
[21:18] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: you probably have some situation where a directory with the same name already exists and you're trying to replace it with a different directory.  If you can't figure it out, put an "echo" after --exec and try executing some of the mv's yourself to see if you can figure it out
[21:18] <gurrag> Should I put a swap partition on an SSD?
[21:18] <TJ-> genoobie: If you're on Precise, then this one may be the closest match. bug #1014263
[21:18] <F1CCC> JN26EQ
[21:18] <k4r1m> can anyone help? I can connect to my router via wlan/eth but I get no internet..
[21:18] <gurrag> I'm migrating my Ubuntu from an HDD to an SSD and wondering if I should put on a swap partition
[21:19] <zykotick9> gurrag: fast - but will shorten the life of the SSD (possibly, dramatically!  i do it)
[21:19] <Dantevios> I'm not seeing anything significant in kern.log TJ-
[21:19] <ampd> gurrag: i wouldn't
[21:19] <gurrag> so I should just be prepared for applications randomly closing from hitting the RAM limit then?
[21:19] <zykotick9> all 4 of my original eee401 ssd drives, still works today (some got heavy use).
[21:19] <gurrag> do people really forgo swap in general on SSD's?
[21:20] <TJ-> Dantevios: sometimes there's a freeze caused by the GPU, or an interrupt line, and there's clues in the log
[21:20] <banzounet> Hi guys, I just installed ubuntu server but the keyboard layout is really fucked up, i tried lot of different loadkeys but there are all mess up
[21:20] <banzounet> Any idea how to fix that?
[21:20] <zykotick9> gurrag: put swap on a HD is safer for the ssd.
[21:20] <jrib> banzounet: messed up how?  (please watch the language)
[21:20] <Dantevios> Like this line TJ-: ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
[21:20] <gurrag> zykotick9: I only have an SSD available, it's a laptop
[21:20] <zykotick9> gurrag: but swap is SUPER important IMO
[21:20] <TJ-> banzounet: Well first thing would be to de-install the language-pack-en-swearing :p
[21:21] <ampd> gurrag: you could go get a thumb drive and put the swap on that, lol
[21:21] <banzounet> jrib: TJ-: sorry guys :(
[21:21] <zykotick9> gurrag: you can run without swap - it'll just make you computer slower...
[21:21] <TJ-> Dantevios: No... you need to look at the reports that are timestamped around the time of the last freeze
[21:22] <banzounet> jrib: Like when I'm doing loadkeys be I get a qwerty keyboard with
[21:22] <Cottus> J-:
[21:22] <Cottus> :-J
[21:22] <banzounet> strange key*
[21:22] <HoNgOuRu> jrib, yeah... something about permissions
[21:23] <k4r1m> I can ping google, If I run ping ip but I can't ping google.com
[21:23] <F1CCC> please :#f1ccc
[21:23] <k4r1m> sounds like a DNS issue, anyone has an idea how to fix it?
[21:23] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: you can pastebin the commands and output if you aren't sure
[21:23] <halp-pl0x> hello ebery1
[21:23] <zykotick9> gurrag: fyi you can't hibernate without swap slightly larger then physical RAM (but hibernate is disabled by default in 12.04 anyways... but can be enabled)
[21:23] <Marcellus> Hello
[21:24] <gurrag> zykotick9: hibernate isn't an option for me anyway; I use ecryptfs and cryptoswap
[21:24] <halp-pl0x> I'm having some trouble with ubuntu server 12.04 lts and was wondering is any1 could help?
[21:24] <Marcellus> is this channel for asking questions or is there another channel for that?
[21:24] <jrib> !ask | halp-pl0x
[21:24] <Dantevios> *shurg* @ TJ- I don't know what to look for...
[21:24] <jrib> Marcellus: this channel is for asking questions
[21:24] <Dantevios> There's no spamming messages in my log around the last time of crash
[21:24] <Dantevios> or incident rather
[21:24] <Meris> k4rim, please lok into the config of the resolver. Something maybe wrong there. Another thing to check is the primary DNS server you have entered in your Network conf.
[21:25] <zykotick9> gurrag: best of luck then. don't bother replying to me further :(  i set people using encrypted-file-systems to /ignore.  good luck though.
[21:25] <zykotick9> gurrag: enjoy the ssd!
[21:25] <TJ-> Dantevios: OK, in case it's a GPU driver issue, also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log - that's the X server log-file

[21:26] <Meris> Marcellus, how many primary partitions do you have in your current partitioning?
[21:26] <HoNgOuRu> jrib, I think the problem is with the ownership of the directories I wanna move

[21:58] <zenmaste1> :)
[21:58] <k4r1m> Meris: I ran that and I got a weird message, "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" and still not working
[21:58] <k4r1m> TJ-: sec
[21:59] <zenmaste1> I set my address to static, and it keeps going back to dynamic on me?
[21:59] <zenmaste1> Ubuntu Server 12.04??
[21:59] <clouder`g> zykotick9, not switching, but if I am developing on desktop then push up to server of same version. should be cake right?
[21:59] <TJ-> Auckla: Not a good idea to ask a question then immediately change nicks!
[22:00] <halp-pl0x> if we are talking bout newtorking can we talk about how i cant find ny hosts?
[22:00] <zykotick9> clouder`g: ya (sorry misunderstood your intentions).  they should almost be identical!
[22:00] <k4r1m> TJ-: I see it, --listen-address=127.0.0.1
[22:00] <TJ-> k4r1m: did you check /etc/resolv/conf also?
[22:00] <Auckla> TJ-: Yeah sorry I was trying to go to the registered nick.
[22:00] <Auckla> Because I did not know if I as silent or not.
[22:01] <k4r1m> TJ-: check it for what?
[22:01] <TJ-> k4r1m: oops  /etc/resolv.conf
[22:01] <Auckla> Any idea why a static setup nic is going back to dynamic.
[22:01] <TJ-> k4r1m: By default 12.04 sets /etc/resolv.conf to "nameserver 127.0.0.1"
[22:01] <TJ-> Auckla: Tell us how you're configuring the interface for a static IP
[22:02] <k4r1m> TJ-: it's set to something else
[22:02] <Meris> k4r1m, does that "something" match your DNS server/ Internet Gateway?
[22:02] <TJ-> k4r1m: There's your problem. Have you manually configured DNS servers for the interface via Network Manager applet ?
[22:02] <Auckla> TJ-: One second. :)
[22:03] <k4r1m> TJ-: the nameserver in resolv.conf needs to match that of dnsmasq?
[22:03] <k4r1m> TJ-: no I havn't touched it
[22:03] <TJ-> k4r1m: as Meris asked, it could also have been over-ridden to be the IP of your local router/gateway
[22:03] <Auckla> TJ-: So I have these settings in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:03] <Auckla> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/dyDKiGNn
[22:04] <TJ-> k4r1m: what is the IP in resolv.conf ?
[22:04] <Freeaqingme> I have two running instances of X. How should I telll ubuntu all usb devices should be attached to the :0 display only?
[22:04] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: i don't think you can.
[22:04] <k4r1m> TJ-: the config looks weird though
[22:04] <k4r1m> TJ-: it specifics a domain,  two name servers and search
[22:04] <_cb>  /msg NickServ identify cali
[22:05] <zykotick9> _cb: 4 letter password ;)  fail X2 ;)
[22:05] <zykotick9> _cb: change you password!
[22:05] <Freeaqingme> zykotick9, you're sure? I'm randomly losing usb connectivity in one X instance, seeing it getting attached on the second. I find it hard to believe there's no way to fix that?
[22:05] <maicod> I need to rewrite the Grub bootloader but I can't boot into my installed Ubuntu. Can I bootup from a livecd and then issue a command to rewrite Grub ?
[22:05] <TJ-> k4r1m: find out what set those name servers and where they come from... try querying them directly "dig bbc.co.uk @<IP-address-of-DNS-server>"
[22:05] <k4r1m> TJ-: the domain is a company domain is used by my VPN and the nameservers look like ISP servers, sec
[22:05] <enyc> maicod: yes
[22:06] <k4r1m> TJ-: what's the domain for in this context?
[22:06] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: i don't think X has anything to do with USB attachment?!?!  well, you run the setup, not me.  best of luck.  hope you find an answer.
[22:06] <halp-pl0x> i so want to change the pw
[22:06] <TJ-> k4r1m: OK, that sounds like you have configured a company VPN in network settings which includes company DNS servers. The VPN is no longer up but the servers haven't been removed from the configuration
[22:06] <enyc> maicod: im not sure if you need to chroot to the installed envionment mounted, or if you can just like   grub-install /dev/sda  or whatever it is
[22:06] <Freeaqingme> zykotick9, I will continue my quest, thanks ;)
[22:06] <TJ-> k4r1m: the domain is what the local hostnames are on
[22:06] <maicod> enyc: ah OK
[22:07] <k4r1m> TJ-: that's true WHEN I'm at work
[22:07] <maicod> enyc: I think it need to read the grub.conf inside the installed partition
[22:07] <zykotick9> enyc: from grub2 to install you need a proper chroot!  that's why boot-repair (or whatever it's called) exists, and is recommended.
[22:07] <k4r1m> but I'm currently at home
[22:07] <zykotick9> enyc: s/from/for/
[22:07] <TJ-> Auckla: And does /etc/network/interfaces get changed by some mysterious process, or is it just that "ifconfig eth0" reveals the changed configuration?
[22:07] <k4r1m> TJ-: the thing is though, it was working fine last night from home
[22:07] <maicod> zykotick9: boot-repair is a rescue disc image ?
[22:07] <enyc> maicod: i'd be tempted to  mount the installed drive first  and mount /dev on [mountpoint]/dev  with -o bind    and similar for /proc /sys...  then  chroot to it (as root)... then "source /etc/profile" then install grub etc...
[22:07] <halp-pl0x> lol
[22:07] <Meris> k4r1m, Why don't you make a separate entry in your network manager config that takes this difference into acocunt?
[22:08] <halp-pl0x> he keeps getting ghosted
[22:08] <enyc> maicod: but zykotick9 points out "boot-repair" / similar tool
[22:08] <maicod> yeah
[22:08] <TJ-> k4r1m: What VPN protocol do you use, and what VPN client to connect?
[22:08] <Auckla> TJ-: This was a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 12.04. I have no idea why it would be changing right off the bat.
[22:08] <Meris> k4r1m, aocount => account
[22:08] <zykotick9> !grub2
[22:08] <maicod> thanks zykotick9
[22:08] <k4r1m> TJ-: I believe it's ipsec and I use cisco anyconnect
[22:08] <Auckla> TJ-: Yeah ifconfig eth0 is shows the change.
[22:08] <k4r1m> Meris: how do I do that?
[22:09] <maicod> thanks enyc I'm gonna follow those instructions
[22:10] <k4r1m> the nameservers work for my mac fine, I just ran dig google.com@ns
[22:10] <Freeaqingme> zykotick9, X also handles all your pointers etc. I've added  AutoAddDevices to one instance now. will see what that does
[22:10] <maicod> ubottu: why does grub from ubuntu 12.04 say its v1.99 ?
[22:10] <maicod> oops
[22:10] <superthebobfredm> Hey all.... I have a problem!  ->  eth0 is not showing in ifconfig -a
[22:10] <Meris> k4r1m, surely you know how to make an extra entry in your network manager? It's done through the GUI.
[22:10] <TJ-> k4r1m: Well, it looks to me as if the Cisco VPN client has messed with the system's resolver configuration and not put it back when the VPN was disconnected. For now, edit /etc/resolv.conf and change it. Remove the 'domain' line, and have a single entry for "nameserver 127.0.01" - remove all other 'nameserver' entries. You'll need root permissions to edit that file: Alt+F2 then "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf"
[22:10] <maicod> zykotick9: it was a question to you :)
[22:10] <superthebobfredm> I can see an interface with lspci -v
[22:10] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: yex, X in responsible for input devices, but not really the devices themselves (even in that case)
[22:11] <k4r1m> TJ-: will that give me a problem when I go to work?
[22:11] <Freeaqingme> zykotick9, ah, right. I prolly wasnt specific enough. I meant my pointer on my usb keyboard, sorry
[22:12] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: do you want multiple pointers?  if so, that could be a BIG issue...
[22:12] <superthebobfredm> but no ethX in dmesg |grep 'eth'
[22:12] <TJ-> k4r1m: That's how it should be. It sounds to me as if the Cisco VPN client replaces the system settings when it connects, but at least once, didn't bother putting things back when it disconnected. Maybe it didn't close the connection gracefully last time
[22:12] <Freeaqingme> zykotick9, I've seen setups with 1 pc and 3 monitors + 3 mouses used by 3 separate people. I however use bumblebee, and attach the second X serverinstance to the first one. So as long as all pointers are 'mounted' to the first instance I'm fine
[22:13] <Freeaqingme> and I think I got it working now, will have to see ;)
[22:13] <F1CCC> Best 73,s k4rlm
[22:13] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: multi-seat is possible.  just NOT something i can help with!  i tried for like 20 minutes once, years ago - then quickly gave up ;)
[22:13] <maicod> anyone knows why grub from ubuntu 12.04 say its v1.99 ?
[22:13] <k4r1m> TJ-: alright, there seems to be a resolv.conf.vpnbackup and a resolvconf folder
[22:14] <zykotick9> Freeaqingme: i don't have any of the hybrid-video card hardware - not something i've played with.  multiple X sessions is though ;)
[22:14] <enyc> maicod: hrrm im not sure grub2 has even been known as "2.0" its alwas like 1.9 1.99 1.9999 ;-)  maybe one day ;-)
[22:15] <Meris> k4r1m, Nice, so at least the cisco app bothered to make a backup of your original settings first.
[22:15] <k4r1m> resolv.conf.vpnbackup is a link to ../run/resolv/resolv.conf
[22:15] <TJ-> k4r1m: The system does have an /etc/resolvconf/ with several ".d" sub-directories for configuration files used for when the resolver changes
[22:15] <TJ-> Meris: Knowing Cisco, it'll be a back-up of the Cisco settings :p
[22:15] <k4r1m> but the actuall file doesn't exist
[22:15] <maicod> enyc: ah heheh thats what I found weird that its called v2 and it still says 1.99xxxx
[22:16] <superthebobfredm> I also can't see eth0 in Network Tools.....
[22:16] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I was wondering how I can install/enable PHP's PDO for MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04.
[22:16] <k4r1m> TJ-: it's a link to a file that doesn't exist...
[22:16] <ring1> enyc, quantal provides 2.00 ;)
[22:16] <zykotick9> k4r1m: [ i can't help you ] but are you using 12.10?  if so, resolv.conf is deprecated... you're having "internet/DNS" issues right?  are you using N-M?  if so, resolv.conf wouldn't help anyways (i believe)
[22:16] <TJ-> k4r1m: Bad Cisco! bug #1000244
[22:16] <zykotick9> k4r1m: sorry s/12.10/12.04/ !!!
[22:17] <Meris> TJ-, you might be right on that...
[22:17] <enyc> maicod: that said it appears "grub-2.00" has been releasetd more recently... after 12.04
[22:17] <enyc> maicod: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ look at the dates/times
[22:17] <k4r1m> zykotick9: I'm on 12.04, resolv.conf is deprecated?
[22:17] <zykotick9> k4r1m: yes
[22:17] <zykotick9> k4r1m: are you using Network-Manager?
[22:17] <k4r1m> yup
[22:17] <zykotick9> k4r1m: double-yes
[22:18] <Auckla> TJ-: I just set it back again, but like I said this is a fresh install. I have absoltuely no idea why it would be going back to dynamic. You saw my config. :)
[22:18] <k4r1m> I'm lost here, zykotick9 TJ- Meris you are all saying different things >.<
[22:18] <TJ-> Auckla: I didn't see an answer when I asked whether you meant that the file "/etc/network/interfaces" was being changed?
[22:19] <ziggarra> Hey all.. so I am having an odd issue... my computer (running 12.04.1) seems to suddenly power off from time to time. My first thought was that it was overheating, but the temp never seems to get above 47 C ... any ideas?
[22:19] <k4r1m> zykotick9: LIAR
[22:19] <k4r1m> it works now
[22:19] <zykotick9> k4r1m: sorry (i don't see either TJ- or Meris's comments to you - so i don't know what you're hearing) but resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04 and most of it's setting have been moved to /etc/network/interfaces (i believe!).  certainly don't follow ANY of my advice without confirmation from someone in the channel.
[22:20] <zykotick9> k4r1m: LIAR - i don't think so.  resolv.conf is deprecated.
[22:20] <k4r1m> well I just edited resolv.conf and its working again
[22:20] <k4r1m> I didn't touch /etc/network/interfaces
[22:20] <k4r1m> let me reboot maybe ur right
[22:20] <zykotick9> k4r1m: reboot.
[22:20] <Auckla> TJ-: I was not asking if the file was beign changed. I was asking why the interface was changing to a dynamic address when clearly the config file stated it was static.
[22:21] <Auckla> TJ-: I showed you my config to get your confirmation that it was correct.
[22:21] <Meris> k4rim, rebooting should not be necessary, restarting the networking service should suffice.
[22:21] <zykotick9> Auckla: do you use Network-Manager?  if so, it has a conf file?  where?
[22:21] <Auckla> No, this is all CLI.
[22:22] <zykotick9> Auckla: can you re-pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces for me then?
[22:22] <k4r1m> Meris: well I think thats where the problem is coming from, my machine always hangs on shutddown/reboot I have to hold down the power.. and I believe it's coming from network cifs mounts in fstab which only connect at work
[22:22] <k4r1m> or when the vpn is connected
[22:22] <TJ-> Auckla: I realise that, but I was wanting to be clear that it wasn't the file changing, but just the interface settings. As you have the entry in 'interfaces' file, Network Manager should not be managing the interface, so we ought to be able to rule out NM as the cause. Which leaves us to speculate on what is installed that would call "ifconfig" to change things
[22:23] <Auckla> TJ-: I see.
[22:24] <Auckla> Buy the way gentlemen I mean to communicate with you with all sincerity, and there is no spite or cynical sarcastic atitude here. :)
[22:24] <Auckla> zykotick9: One second.
[22:24] <k4r1m> TJ-: would you have any advice on that?
[22:24] <maicod> enyc: ah I missed your message. LOL so 12.04 is too old. maybe 12.04.1 has it :)
[22:24] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I was wondering how I can install/enable PHP's PDO for MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm getting the fol'owing error: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver
[22:24] <k4r1m> zykotick9: still working... :D
[22:25] <Auckla> zykotick9:  http://pastebin.com/dyDKiGNn
[22:25] <k4r1m> maybe just 12.10??
[22:25] <TJ-> Auckla: In these cases I often do a 'grep' of the entire "/etc/" directory structure! I'd be looking for scripts calling 'ifconfig' and any mention of the interface name "eth0" too - so e.g. "sudo egrep '(eth0|ifconfig}' /etc/* "
[22:25] <zykotick9> k4r1m: nice.  good luck.
[22:25] <k4r1m> zykotick9: I'll sure need it
[22:25] <zykotick9> Auckla: looks good to me.  no idea why it would change to dhcp?
[22:26] <Auckla> It's wierd.
[22:26] <k4r1m> Meris: about that account thing, it's in the network manager GUI?
[22:27] <zykotick9> Auckla: i'm not sure about process name but does "ps aux | grep -i network-manager" return anything?
[22:27] <Auckla> This is a fresh install of server.
[22:27] <TJ-> k4r1m: I think the Cisco client is the issue when it encounters unusual circumstances. Probably doesn't clean up gracefully after itself. I'd also think you should have a script in "/etc/network/if-down.d/" that unmounts  CIFS mounts when the VPN interface is downed
[22:28] <TJ-> Auckla: check /var/log/syslog - that's where interface-related reports usually end up
[22:28] <Meris> k4rim, I'm not talking about accounts here, just entries. You can have any amount of separate settings for a network interface, that can be switched at your leisure. This does not remedy the default cifs mounts in fstab of course.
[22:28] <Auckla> zykotick9: No.
[22:28] <Auckla> TJ-: Looking.
[22:29] <k4r1m> TJ-, Meris : I'm not entirely sure how the cisco client works, I was told it creates another interface and routes everything
[22:29] <Auckla> Dhclient is running.
[22:29] <Auckla> I have to turn that off I bet.....
[22:30] <TJ-> Auckla: But why is it starting? what does this show? "ps -efly | grep dhclient"
[22:31] <Auckla> I think network-manager is running.
[22:31] <Meris> k4r1m, sound like an ancient TAP/TUN setup to me. If that's true, you can just select your eth0 proper, with zero settings in the VPN tab, unless the Cisco VPN client is more intrusive than it should be. Given your descriptions of  other network config files, this seems to be the case here.

[22:32] <uberbuntu> hi
[22:32] <zykotick9> Auckla: i "believe" N-M is default on server as well as desktop...
[22:32] <Auckla> zykotick9: Quite annoying. :P
[22:32] <Auckla> Yeah boss the new server is up....
[22:32] <Auckla> Waiti yeah no its not...
[22:32] <uberbuntu> Does anyone know HOW i can install cairo-compmgr? I've tried 2 different repositories and theyre both broken
[22:32] <zykotick9> Auckla: you could ask #ubuntu-server for confirmation i'm sure.
[22:32] <k4r1m> Meris: I'm going to connect to the vpn and see what changes locally in the configs
[22:32] <TJ-> Auckla: network-manager shouldn't be installed on ubuntu-server
[22:33] <Meris> k4rim, make a backup copy of any suspect files before you do that.
[22:33] <Maksim> I am told that a particular program (jar file) will run better if I try using Sun Java instead of the default Open JDK. Is there any way to download and use sun java for particular instances (I don't want it to be default or interfere with OpenJDK)?
[22:33] <k4r1m> Meris: yeah  I just did that
[22:33] <zykotick9> Auckla: my network-manager i probably the wrong process name, but i didn't think nm-applet made ANY sense so didn't suggest that.
[22:33] <TJ-> Auckla: And, even if network-manager is installed, it should refuse to manage any interface listed in "/etc/network/interfaces"
[22:34] <Auckla> So maybe I was drunk, was quite the busy day. I joke when I say drunk.
[22:34] <Meris> Auckla, quite true^
[22:34] <Auckla> Maybe I did not put server and put desktop on this rig?
[22:34] <k4r1m> in /etc/network/interfaces "iface eth0 inet dhcp" is commented and in the already existing backup it's not... what does that do anyways?
[22:34] <uberbuntu> blah
[22:35] <zykotick9> k4r1m: for one thing, using /etc/network/interfaces disables network-manager (the default networking on ubuntu)...
[22:35] <Auckla> Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l
[22:35] <Auckla> If it were server would it say server?
[22:35] <Maksim> lmk if anyone wants to take a stab at that.
[22:35] <Auckla> Issuing cat /etc/issue?
[22:36] <zykotick9> Auckla: you could try "lsb_release -a" but i don't think "server" is mentioned - maybe?
[22:36] <k4r1m> zykotick9: and where does resol.conf come into play? used by /etc/network/interfaces or network-manager or both?
[22:36] <zykotick9> k4r1m: i'm not up to speed on the current stuff!  but my impression is that N-M NO LONGER uses resolv.conf in 12.04+
[22:36] <Auckla> So if I disable this network manager I should be good to go right? :)
[22:37] <zykotick9> Auckla: or possible the exact opposite!
[22:37] <zykotick9> Auckla: you should use N-M if you can!
[22:37] <k4r1m> cscotun0 lool
[22:37] <Auckla> zykotick9: Is that a graphical network manager?
[22:37] <spatrypcbsdcamp> oioioioi
[22:37] <Auckla> Because this is a "Headless install".
[22:37] <Auckla> I have no GUI.
[22:37] <Auckla> Don't need it.
[22:38] <zykotick9> Auckla: N-M can be both GUI or cli (sorta on the later, wireless is an issue!)
[22:38] <spatrypcbsdcamp> hello ubuntu is the best os i have ever used
[22:38] <spatrypcbsdcamp> unity rocks
[22:38] <TJ-> Auckla: network-manager is a service
[22:38] <Vincent0ne-> lol
[22:38] <Auckla> This is for server.
[22:38] <spatrypcbsdcamp> HUD is the best thing in linux
[22:38] <k4r1m> Meris, TJ- : connected and it just changed /etc/resolv.conf to with the weird nameservers
[22:38] <Auckla> I guess I will learn how to use network manager then.
[22:38] <Meris> !ot | spatrypcbsdcamp
[22:39] <Vincent0ne-> ot = old testament
[22:39] <Vincent0ne-> ?
[22:39] <bkc_> OffTopic
[22:39] <ole01> lol
[22:39] <TJ-> Auckla: On a sever with non-changing interfaces you should simply use /etc/network/interfaces. An entry in that file tells network-manager not to manage that particular interface
[22:39] <spatrypcbsdcamp> ppl join #ubuntu-offtopic lets talk abt unity it is a revolution in linux
[22:39] <k4r1m> and everything else is untouched
[22:40] <Maksim> Hi guys.. I am told that a particular program (jar file) will run better if I try using Sun Java instead of the default Open JDK. Is there any way to download and use sun java for particular instances (I don't want it to be default or interfere with OpenJDK)?
[22:40] <Auckla> TJ-: You saw my config.
[22:40] <Auckla> That is what I am using
[22:40] <bustacap> How do  I go about controlling my case fan speeds in ubuntu?
[22:41] <Auckla> TJ-: This is a server with non changing interfaces. The file interfaces is configuered. Yet I come back fours later and it is on DHCP and it has done this twice now.
[22:41] <Auckla> Unless one more question and I will leave you guys alone.
[22:41] <Auckla> NM.
[22:41] <zykotick9> !java | Maksim
[22:42] <Auckla> Well just clicked over to one day, so I know it is not restarting.
[22:42] <TJ-> Auckla: I know. So there's something misconfigured somewhere. As I said earlier, if N-M is managing the interface you'll see copious messages in /var/log/syslog when it does. Try a "grep eth0 /var/log/syslog" and see if that helps you understand what's doing it
[22:42] <k4r1m> Meris, TJ- : upon disconnection it reverted resolv.conf back...
[22:42] <Maksim> zykotick9 why would you think that answered my question?

[22:42] <FloodBot1> spatrypcbsdcamp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:42] <zykotick9> Maksim: sorry.
[22:42] <TJ-> k4r1m: OK, so that confirms my theory that the VPN client didn't close down cleanly last time
[22:43] <k4r1m> TJ-: so how do I avoid that again?
[22:43] <k4r1m> can I just another nameserver 127.0.0.1 ?
[22:43] <bustacap> Anyone know how to control fan speeds?
[22:43] <Maksim> TJ- is a genius, guys.
[22:43] <zykotick9> k4r1m: lol
[22:43] <k4r1m> add*
[22:43] <Meris> k4rim, glad to see that it works again for you. Blame Cisco for the unclean disconnect I guess.
[22:44] <lobhater> TJ-: is a genius    2nd that
[22:44] <k4r1m> Meris: client is like 20 years old came with a lucid image
[22:44] <Auckla> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/dfezf620
[22:44] <Meris> k4rim, is there no update available for that client?
[22:45] <TJ-> Maksim: The 'default' java launched without a path given is set by the update_alternatives system. To launch a particular version of the Java interpreter, you give its path explictly: e.g. "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java" - you can find all the installed Java version in "/usr/lib/jvm/"
[22:45] <k4r1m> Meris: I'm afraid they would override company specific configs
[22:45] <k4r1m> that are possibly with a different format
[22:46] <TJ-> Auckla: looking
[22:46] <Maksim> TJ- thanks. If I install sun java it will not try to replace the openjdk and give me similar problem as when I installed the python? :)
[22:46] <leaftwig> how do i set up oidentd on ubuntu
[22:47] <Meris> k4rim, try asking around in your company. If you are an employee of a big company, there might be users with similar issues.
[22:47] <leaftwig> *man*
[22:47] <k4r1m> Meris: they all use windows.
[22:47] <TJ-> Maksim: It won't replace, no, but it may try to make itself the default in the update-alternatives system. That can be changed, though, after the event
[22:47] <leaftwig> Error initializing core ._.
[22:47] <leaftwig> How do I copy to the buffer from xterm
[22:48] <k4r1m> Meris: when I asked IT to give me their linux image they gave me lucid. It was a painful upgrade especially with centrifydc
[22:48] <TJ-> Auckla: That log-file confirms DHCP by dhclient, but doesn't show any involvement by network-manager!
[22:48] <Auckla> TJ-: Yeah my same conclusion! :D
[22:48] <zykotick9> leaftwig: highlight the text, then leaving it highlighted, use middle click (usually roller) on mouse to paste
[22:48] <Auckla> TJ-: So disable dhcclient right?
[22:48] <TJ-> Auckla: I'm comparing your scenario with one of my 12.04 servers here; give me a few minutes
[22:48] <spatrypcbsdcamp> debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies
[22:48] <Auckla> TJ-: Np.
[22:48] <Maksim> TJ- thanks !
[22:48] <spatrypcbsdcamp> debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies
[22:48] <k4r1m> TJ-: how did you say I can control the cifs mount again?
[22:48] <spatrypcbsdcamp> debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies
[22:48] <Meris> k4rim, it might be worth reading through some changelogs, to see if the upgrades to the Cisco client impact the config file structure. If not, upgrading should solve a few things...
[22:49] <k4r1m> Meris: I'll look into, thanks !
[22:49] <TJ-> Auckla: If there is a syntax error in /etc/network/interfaces, that might explain the issue. I'm checking that now
[22:49] <TJ-> k4r1m: I think the Cisco client is the issue when it encounters unusual circumstances. Probably doesn't clean up gracefully after itself. I'd also think you should have a script in "/etc/network/if-down.d/" that unmounts  CIFS mounts when the VPN interface is downed
[22:50]  * TJ- loves command buffer history :p
[22:51] <k4r1m> TJ-: and how about automatic mount upon connection to to that interface?
[22:53] <TJ-> k4r1m: A script in "/etc/network/if-up.d/" - maybe the scripts should grep "/etc/fstab" looking for CIFS mounts with the IP-range of your VPN. That'd make it cleanly work even if you have your own local CIFS mounts
[22:54] <k4r1m> TJ-: we are speaking about bash scripts here right?
[22:54] <k4r1m> and do I just create a new file it will automatically run it?
[22:55] <lobhater> so i have a server at home and always want it to have the same ip address because i have to set up port forwarding to be able to access its services from the internet.  is there a way to have it request an ip address from the dhcp daemon on the router?  i would like a good resource and not just hand fed the answer if possible.  i have search but all the help i have found DOESNT help lol
[22:55] <TJ-> k4r1m: yes, a shell script
[22:55] <k4r1m> TJ-: where do I put it?
[22:55] <escott> lobhater, your ISP is probably going to change your home modems ip. you can use a dynamic dns provider
[22:56] <zykotick9> lobhater: see if your router supports handing out the same IP based on MAC address (most do) - sorry now resources.
[22:56] <bekks> lobhater: Just configure a static IP from your router's LAN on your server.
[22:56] <lobhater> yea i have that set up on the router to update its ip address
[22:56] <zykotick9> escott: i was under the impression this was on the intranet side.
[22:56] <lobhater> but when the router or server restart the ip forwrading ip address doesnt always match the servers ip address and ihave to be home to fix it.
[22:57] <escott> lobhater, in either case its a configuration within your router you have to change
[22:57] <TJ-> k4r1m: in the control directories under /etc/network/ - there's several named for when they are run. All scripts within the directories are run when the named event occurs
[22:57] <zykotick9> lobhater: if your router doesn't have MAC/DHCP reserving - use a static IP on your server.
[22:57] <lobhater> there is no option to assign ips to a specific mac. that wa my first thought
[22:57] <help-pl0x> use a static ip
[22:57] <k4r1m> TJ-: awesome thanks
[22:57] <bekks> lobhater: Why dont you configure a static IP?
[22:58] <help-pl0x> *im one to talk* lol
[22:58] <lobhater> so lets say i have the dhcp client pool from 192.168.2.1-100
[22:58] <escott> lobhater, in that case they usually start the dynamic ips at ****.100 so you can make static at 2,3,4 up to 99
[22:58] <lobhater> i would have my server requst 192.168.0.201 for example?
[22:58] <bekks> lobhater: No. You have to configure a static IP.
[22:58] <zykotick9> bekks: +1
[22:58] <lobhater> is my router gonna be ok assigning an ip address outside the client pool?
[22:58] <Auckla> TJ-: Figured it out.
[22:59] <bekks> lobhater: Are you ignoring me?
[22:59] <help-pl0x> no hes typing
[22:59] <lobhater> bekks: i didnt see what u said, give me a min
[22:59] <help-pl0x> this chan is so jumbled
[22:59] <TJ-> Auckla: you have?!
[22:59] <zykotick9> help-pl0x: do you have join/parts turned off? that help quite a bit.
[23:00] <Auckla> TJ-: Here is the story of two cities.
[23:00] <help-pl0x> zykotick9: ??
[23:00] <Auckla> TJ-: Upon install, my other admin did DHCP for the network interface.
[23:00]  * TJ- is sitting comfortably
[23:00] <zykotick9> help-pl0x: do you seen when everyone in the channel JOINS and LEAVES?
[23:00] <help-pl0x> ohhhh lol
[23:00] <TJ-> Auckla: aha! light is dawning
[23:00] <lobhater> zykotick9
[23:00] <help-pl0x> i thought u were talking about something else
[23:00] <Auckla> TJ-: In doing so, and this machine not being restarted it. I did the network/interface thing, and then issued /etc/init.d/network restart
[23:00] <help-pl0x> anyway
[23:00] <help-pl0x> im not using a redl client right now
[23:00] <lobhater> zykotick9	: how do u turn that off?
[23:01] <help-pl0x> real*
[23:01] <help-pl0x> in using webchat
[23:01] <FloodBot1> help-pl0x: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:01] <help-pl0x> xchat is nice tho
[23:01] <help-pl0x> woah woah woah
[23:01] <Auckla> TJ-: However, the DHCCLIENT was still running int he background. Once lease time was up, boom it was over riding everything and going back to DHCP.
[23:01] <zykotick9> lobhater: i can only help with irssi, 'cause i know the !quite-irssi factoid
[23:01] <help-pl0x> im not flooding i type fastmofo'in bot
[23:01] <lobhater>  !quite-irssi factoid
[23:01] <zykotick9> lobhater: oh sorry - got you confused with help-pl0x
[23:01] <zykotick9> !quite-irssi
[23:02] <help-pl0x> zykotick9: thats me....
[23:02] <help-pl0x> zykotick9: in a different room
[23:02] <zykotick9> !quietirssi
[23:02] <TJ-> Auckla: Simple when you know how :p
[23:02] <lobhater>  /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS
[23:02] <Auckla> TJ-: Inbarrasing, I have been doing this for a long long time. :P
[23:02] <lobhater> omg
[23:02] <zykotick9> lobhater: that only works with the irssi client - are you using it?
[23:02] <lobhater> i guess not lol
[23:03] <lobhater> empathy
[23:03] <TJ-> Auckla: It's a sign it's been toooooo long! :d
[23:03] <zykotick9> lobhater: lol.  so NOT an irc client at all.  best of luck to you.
[23:03] <lobhater> anyways
[23:04] <lobhater> bekks: what did u recommend?
[23:04] <bekks> lobhater: Configure a static IP instead messing around with static DHCP leases.
[23:04] <k4r1m> hell of a day, thanks boy and girls TJ- Meris zykotick9
[23:05] <bustacap> Anyone have a problem with nvidia settings not staying after reboot?
[23:05] <lobhater> i would do that through a script on the client side or router side?
[23:05] <bekks> lobhater: You do it ONCE on your server.
[23:06] <Meris> k4k4rim, glad to help :-)
[23:06] <Meris> k4rim, glad to help :-)
[23:06] <TJ-> bustacap: How do you mean?
[23:06] <lobhater> what is the best irc client?
[23:07] <lobhater> so i can get rid of all of this join exit craop
[23:07] <bustacap> TJ-, I'll change the fan speed in the nvidia settings app, and when I reboot, it goes back to 30 (default).
[23:08] <zykotick9> lobhater: xchat is popular gui irc client.  irssi/weechat for cli.
[23:08] <DeltaHeavy> Anybody hear of the #ubuntu Amazon advertising thing yet? http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/unity-shopping-results.jpg
[23:09] <jrib> !ot | DeltaHeavy
[23:09] <Meris> lobhater, that depends on your personal preferences. I use XChat on GUI's , irssi on CLI's.
[23:09] <TJ-> bustacap: I'm not aware that nvidia-settings saves that option. Look in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc
[23:09] <lobhater> well im gonna try it, brb
[23:10] <Dr_willis> Weechat has 'smart' filters for parts/join/quits - so if someone says somting, then quits. I see that.. if someone just enters, never says anything then quits.. i dont see that. ;)
[23:10] <Dr_willis> weechat can also toggle/show all the hidden info with a keycombo.
[23:11] <zykotick9> Dr_willis: i'm glad in included weechat as a suggestion (as i've never used it myself)
[23:11] <zykotick9> s/in/i/
[23:11] <bustacap> TJ-, It's not saved in that file. Is there a way to add it?
[23:12] <TJ-> bustacap: not that I know of - probably best to check the Nvidia nvforums for a definitive answer
[23:12] <bustacap> TJ-, Ok. Thanks.
[23:14] <escapeplan> Please, I need help right now.. I'm using openbox interface and lxpanel on my ubuntu installation, I'm trying to connect to a wifi connection that it can see, but it simply won't open it from lxpanel.. I don't care for the panel just need the connection right now, how do I go about ?
[23:16] <catlover2> Hello all!
[23:16] <lobhater_> is there a way to turn off "joined / exit" messages in xchat?
[23:17] <zykotick9> lobhater_: right click the channel on the left side, hide join/parts is somewhere in the options
[23:17] <leaftwig> how do i set up oidentd on ubuntu, error initializing core
[23:18] <isbric> how do i find out how meny cols and rows the current terminal is using?
[23:18] <lobhater_> zykotick9: thank you so much
[23:18] <zykotick9> lobhater_: glad to help
[23:19] <catlover2> Suppose I have a user called "auser", and this user is a member of the "asdf" group (but not of "users"), can I restrict "auser" to only accesing the contents of one folder? (i.e. /something)
[23:19] <Maksim> any way to turn it off in empathy?
[23:19] <f1ccc> My question: it's possible , google earth witch linux  ubuntu 12.04 ?
[23:19] <Maksim> lol
[23:20] <graingert> f1ccc: yes
[23:20] <Dr_willis> Maksim,  turn what off?
[23:20] <Maksim> enter/exit in this channel messages
[23:20] <lobhater_> Show join/part messages
[23:20] <Maksim> dont care about who is entering and leaving
[23:20] <graingert> f1ccc: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
[23:20] <Dr_willis> Maksim,  most there settings/ or plugins for that client.
[23:20] <TJ-> lobhater: As bekks said, on the server configure a static IP address in "/etc/network/interfaces". The address should be one on the router's sub-net, but outside of the DHCP pool it allocates from. That is the *proper* way to configure a server. Your router's port-forwarding rules never need to change after that.
[23:21] <Dr_willis> people tend to overlook the 'plugins' settings..
[23:21] <f1ccc> ok for http...thanks very much
[23:21] <lobhater_> TJ-: as usual I will try and get back to you, thanks
[23:22] <beaty> Hi, I just recently installed kubuntu and kde asked me for permission to allow network manager to access kde wallet.  i accidentally clicked deny forever.  Where do I go to undo this?
[23:22] <TJ-> lobhater_: Like Auckla earlier... make sure to stop the dhclient - or reboot the server - otherwise when the lease expires it'll change the static IP to a DHCP lease :)
[23:22] <f1ccc> merci graingerl!
[23:23] <WeThePeople> beaty, is this bill?
[23:23] <lobhater_> so just    service dhcp3 stop  ?
[23:23] <lobhater_> ill look it up
[23:24] <bustacap> Anyone know about adjusting fan speeds for fans attached to psu?
[23:24] <TJ-> lobhater_: no. I think you have to do "ifdown ethX" to lose the DHCP client, then "ifup ethX" with the static configuration
[23:24] <lobhater_> ok, reading about setting up static ip npw
[23:24] <lobhater_> *now
[23:25] <TJ-> bustacap: unless the fan is on a PWM controller that is controlled by GPIO lines from the motherboard, no
[23:25] <Maksim> Actually it appears that empathy doesn't handle this setting and it has no plugins supported
[23:25] <Maksim> Perhaps I should try pidgin or something
[23:25] <bustacap> TJ-, what exactly is a PWM controller? Is that a fan port on a motherboard?
[23:26] <TJ-> Maksim: bug #660176
[23:26] <TJ-> bustacap: PWM = Pulse Width Modulator. It's how we digitally control fan speeds by sending varying width pulses
[23:26] <OerHeks> beaty open Kickoff and type kwallet  then find the application under 'acces control'
[23:26] <TJ-> bustacap: generally, only 4-wire fans have the capability
[23:27] <bustacap> TJ-, all my fans are 4 wire fans, but they are hooked up to the power supply, and not to the motherboard. Are those unchangeable?
[23:28] <TJ-> bustacap: Does the PSU have multiple PWM controllers that you can program?
[23:28] <beaty> oerheks i dont think i have a kickoff installed
[23:28] <OerHeks> beaty kickof = kde icon at the bottom bar
[23:28] <beaty> oh
[23:28] <beaty> lol
[23:28] <bustacap> TJ-, I'm not sure :/ I don't really know much about this kinda stuff.
[23:28] <OerHeks> hoover over it, and it shows the name
[23:29] <beaty> i see.  and where do i find access control?
[23:30] <OerHeks> beaty are you in kwallet?
[23:30] <lobhater_> well i think i set up a static correctly, now to test it out though. see you guys on the flip side
[23:30] <beaty> No, I realized that it wasnt kwallet i denied - it was the network manager attempting to access kwallet
[23:31] <catlover2> Suppose I have a user called "auser", and this user is a member of the "asdf" group (but not of "users"). Can I restrict all users in group "asdf" (including "auser") to only be able to access the contents of one folder? (i.e. /something) I don't want "auser" (or anyone else in the "asdf" group) to have even read access to any folders other than /something.
[23:31] <catlover2> I think i'll go ask in the forums now.
[23:31] <OerHeks> beaty still the same i guess, to allow network manager acces like you want to.
[23:31] <ring1> lobhater_, you can hide join/part messages for all channels, too. using "/set irc_conf_mode on" and "/gui apply" https://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_tips_&_tricks#09
[23:31] <jrib> catlover2: well you usually want them to have a shell and such
[23:32] <Cosman246> I need some help
[23:32] <tomreyn> hi, i'm lookng for oprofile, but apparently it's not or no longer in precise?
[23:32] <catlover2> Jrib: erm yes, I forgot about that
[23:32] <Cosman246> I tried to upgrade to Xubuntu
[23:32] <Cosman246> with the instructions in http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfceoneiric
[23:33] <Cosman246> Long story short, it broke my packages and now I can't install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop
[23:33] <Cosman246> What should I do?
[23:33] <beaty> i still dont see this access control youre talking about
[23:33] <jrib> Cosman246: what happens when you try...?
[23:33] <Cosman246> sudo apt-get install -f doesn't work
[23:33] <Cosman246> neither does sudo apt-get remove -f
[23:33] <Cosman246> or dpkg -i --configure -a
[23:33] <OerHeks> beaty kwallet starts in 1st screen "wallet preferences"and 2nd "access control"
[23:34] <jrib> Cosman246: use a pastebin instead of saying "doesn't work"
[23:34] <catlover2> jrib: does that mean I have to manually set permissions on every folder within / that I don't want "auser" to access?
[23:34] <wilee-nilee> tomreyn, From the web it has been removed from Precise.
[23:34] <beaty> i see i see
[23:34] <chop> tomreyn: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137860/why-is-there-no-oprofile-in-12-04 seems related
[23:35] <Cosman246> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221533/
[23:35] <beaty> awesome
[23:35] <lobhater> empathy is still way better even with all of the join/part messages
[23:35] <beaty> i guess that should work - gotta disconnect to test.  Thanks so much oerheks!
[23:35] <tomreyn> thanks chop + wilee-nilee
[23:35] <TJ-> tomreyn: oprofile was removed from Debian due to being unmaintained. See Debian bug #653168
[23:35] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, Not sure what you mean by upgrade that is just a desktop enviroment change.
[23:36] <tomreyn> and thanks to you, too TJ
[23:36] <Cosman246> The problem still stands
[23:36] <destinylovezu> Hi room i  need some help
[23:36] <jrib> catlover2: depends on what exactly you want to do
[23:37] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, Were you or are you running 11.10?
[23:37] <Cosman246> Yes I am
[23:37] <catlover2> jrib: what other methods could be used?
[23:37] <jrib> Cosman246: run « sudo apt-get update »
[23:37] <destinylovezu> I am im on ubuntu 12.04 and my browsers barely load the internet and im on highspeed wifi
[23:38] <Cosman246> I think I tried that, but I can do it again
[23:38] <jrib> catlover2: ssh chroot jail, using a restricted shell; I'm not too familiar with any more options
[23:38] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, If you can give a more indepth explanation of where you are it might help, be sure to include the nick of who you're talning to when you are.
[23:38] <Cosman246> Nope, doesn't work
[23:38] <destinylovezu> *sigh*
[23:38] <destinylovezu> guess i cant ge thelp
[23:38] <catlover2> jrib: OK, that's some more googling material at least. thanks.
[23:39] <Cosman246> wilee-nilee: what info would be relevant here?
[23:39] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, Have you looked at yout apt/sources.list have you changed it perchance
[23:39] <jrib> Cosman246: pastebin « apt-cache policy xubuntu-desktop software-center zenity; sudo apt-get install software-center »
[23:40] <Cosman246> jrib: OK
[23:40] <Cosman246> wilee-nilee: I looked at it
[23:40] <Cosman246> In fact, I decided to remove the PPAs and try everything again before coming here

[23:43] <wilee-nilee> it*
[23:43] <Cosman246> wilee-nilee: thanks
[23:43] <Cosman246> as for what now, what now?
[23:43] <lobhater> well i think the static IP worked,  thanks everyone TJ- and others
[23:43] <jrib> Cosman246: what's your « sudo apt-get install -f » output?
[23:44] <Cosman246> jrib: for software-center, xubuntu, or what?
[23:44] <jrib> Cosman246: for just that
[23:44] <Cosman246> software-center?
[23:44] <Cosman246> oh
[23:44] <jrib> Cosman246: what's your « sudo apt-get install -f » output?
[23:44] <Cosman246> Yeah, I'll put that up
[23:45] <Cosman246> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221544/
[23:45] <jrib> Cosman246: keep following the rabbit then... sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit-3.0
[23:45] <Cosman246> jrib: doesn't work, let me pastebin
[23:46] <Cosman246> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221545/
[23:46] <jrib> Cosman246: yes none of these will work :)
[23:46] <destinylovezu> plz someone i need help
[23:46] <destinylovezu> :(
[23:46] <lobhater> destinylovezu: what is it?
[23:46] <jrib> Cosman246: you typed it wrong
[23:47] <Cosman246> ah
[23:47] <destinylovezu> i have high speed wifi and my browsers are barely loading the web pages,i have to click numerous times and often get the network connection error
[23:47] <destinylovezu> but its still connected and other things are still working
[23:47] <wilee-nilee> destinylovezu, Complaing and asking for help in the first 10 min will have a number of people just ignoring you just a heads help.
[23:47] <Cosman246> jrib: similar problem
[23:47] <destinylovezu> oh sorry
[23:47] <Cosman246> as the others
[23:47] <jrib> Cosman246: I know.  I care about the output
[23:47] <Cosman246> OK
[23:48] <bustacap> Can someone explain to me why at the end of this command it says 'to be written' for a driver that's installed? http://pastebin.com/NhhZhcFA
[23:48] <Cosman246> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221557/
[23:48] <frankdrey-pc> whaaaa? im installing ubuntu alternate and C is one of the languages? xD
[23:48] <frankdrey-pc> what does that mean?:P
[23:48] <jrib> Cosman246: apt-cache policy libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
[23:48] <lobhater> is this not a ubuntu assistance room?
[23:49] <TJ-> Cosman246: jrib The held package is likely a result of a PPA or other non-standard archive. It might be worth checking for PPAs and/or doing "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[23:49] <Cosman246> TJ- I removed all PPAs from my sources.list
[23:49] <blackshirt> frankdrey-pc, i don't know what is your need
[23:50] <TJ-> frankdrey-pc: When a locale isn't defined then the locale is set to 'C' which means whatever glibc uses by default - that's usually ASCII
[23:50] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, Are there any PPA's in the etc/apt/sources.list.d
[23:50] <frankdrey-pc> ah okay :P i was thinking it was gonna give me everything in C source code or something xD thanks TJ-
[23:50] <Cosman246> Hmm, I haven't read that one before
[23:50] <Cosman246> Let me pastebin the results
[23:50] <TJ-> Cosman246: But that may be the problem - if you've previously installed packages that are later versions than those in the main archives, the main archive packages may not be able to install since their dependenices specify older versions
[23:51] <TJ-> frankdrey-pc: That'd be something cool :p
[23:51] <Cosman246> TJ- shit, I'll have to give up emacs24 and racket
[23:51] <Cosman246> Thanks, though
[23:51] <Cosman246> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221560/
[23:51] <TJ-> Cosman246: As jrib is taking you through it, he's likely to help you pin-down and manually correct each broken/held package
[23:53] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, looks like natty and oneric in there.
[23:53] <Cosman246> wilee-nilee: indeed
[23:54] <Cosman246> jrib: so what's your advice?
[23:54] <jrib> Cosman246: apt-cache policy libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
[23:54] <Cosman246> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221567/
[23:55] <TJ-> Cosman246: As far as I can see, those Elementary* PPAs introduced packages for the ElementaryOS, a different distro to Ubuntu
[23:55] <jrib> Cosman246: this is your issue; that package likely belonged to a ppa you disabled
[23:55] <Cosman246> jrib: hm, thanks
[23:55] <wilee-nilee> SCosman246, You can run a purge and have it removed along with the packages from them, not sure if that is a fix though in the end, I think the theory of pckgs that just don't sync for a reinstal of a full desktop makes sense though. If it was me since I don't keep much in my OS's I would do a fresh install setup it and clone it then twek till it breaks again, but thats me.
[23:55] <Cosman246> How do I go about removing them?
[23:56] <jrib> Cosman246: just remove that package (read to make sure it doesn't take anything you want with it), but removing webkit should not be too bad
[23:56] <Cosman246> jrib: which one
[23:56] <jrib> Cosman246: libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
[23:56] <Cosman246> OK, thanks
[23:57] <wilee-nilee> Cosman246, Here is an older refrence to purging PPA's, http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/
[23:57] <Cosman246> jrib: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221571/
[23:57] <TJ-> Cosman246: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:58] <jrib> Cosman246: umm, did you run that multiple times or something?
[23:58] <Cosman246> TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221574/
[23:58] <Cosman246> jrib: ...hopefully
[23:58] <jrib> Cosman246: ok, because otherwise it would make little sense...
[23:59] <Cosman246> jrib: if we go by that assumption, what next?
[23:59] <jrib> Cosman246: I think you should be ok now; I'm assuming you had the webkit ppa enabled.  Do this: dpkg -l '*webkit*' | grep '^ii'
[23:59] <wilee-nilee> hehe a mix of distros that is not good
