| gopher2x | err netbook | 00:00 |
| jrib | Cosman246: run apt-cache policy on each of those packages and remove whatever isn't coming from the repositories you have enabled | 00:00 |
| wilee-nilee | gopher2x, Use at your own risk. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Using#Overclocking | 00:01 |
| Cosman246 | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221579/ | 00:02 |

| === lubmil is now known as lub` | ||
| Cosman246 | None of them seem to be PPA-derived, jrib | 00:03 |
| jrib | Cosman246: I like your prompt :x You see how apt-cache policy lists all of the versions? It has a *** next to the installed one. If you only see "100 /var/lib/dpkg/status" under the version with *** and don't see some repository as well, then that means it came from a repository you no longer have enabled. So you should remove libwebkitgtk-3.0-common | 00:03 |
| Cosman246 | thanks | 00:04 |
| ubuntoo10 | hi, can someone please tell me if it's possible to set the colors of x-terminal-emulator in a file rather than with the gui, and where that file is located? | 00:04 |
| jrib | ubuntoo10: probably depends on the x-terminal-emulator you are using | 00:05 |
| ywonuwerk | Hanvon Artmaster AM1209 not recognised in 12.04lts any ideas? | 00:05 |
| ubuntoo10 | jrib: how do i find out which one i am? i simply run x-terminal-emulator | 00:05 |
| Cosman246 | jrib: OK, done that | 00:05 |
| Cosman246 | now what | 00:05 |
| jrib | ubuntoo10: readlink -f $(which x-terminal-emulator) | 00:05 |
| jrib | Cosman246: now try installing whatever it was you were originally trying to install | 00:06 |
| mouad_bgd | 2 | 00:06 |
| Meris | ywonuwerk, do you know which chipset it uses? What does lspci say about it? | 00:06 |
| ubuntoo10 | gnome-terminal, sweet :D thanks | 00:06 |
| Cosman246 | jrib: no change :( | 00:06 |

| Cosman246 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221587/ jrib | 00:07 |
| jrib | Cosman246: what happens when you do « sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 »? | 00:08 |
| TJ- | jrib: those package that are held came from the elementarydesktop PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementaryart/elementarydesktop/ubuntu/pool/main/w/webkitgtk+/ | 00:08 |
| jrib | TJ-: ah | 00:08 |
| Cosman246 | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221590/ | 00:09 |
| TJ- | jrib: maybe there's an elementaryart-desktop meta-package we can get the depends from? | 00:09 |
| jrib | Cosman246: was this actually an ubuntu install at some point? | 00:10 |
| Cosman246 | ...yes | 00:10 |
| jrib | Cosman246: and then you added this elementary os ppa? | 00:10 |
| Cosman246 | It started as 11.04. I made a few foolish mistakes then | 00:10 |
| Cosman246 | yeah | 00:10 |
| Cosman246 | Then I upgraded to 11.10 | 00:10 |
| Cosman246 | I tried out MATE, saw as it screwed up my setup with Mint tentacles | 00:11 |
| Cosman246 | and moved back | 00:11 |
| jrib | Cosman246: it might be easier to just enable it again and then try the ppa-purge tool (if you can get it to install :D) | 00:11 |
| Cosman246 | ppa-purge? | 00:11 |
| jrib | TJ-: that's a good idea, though I think ppa-purge does basically that | 00:11 |
| ywonuwerk | meris, seems to be amd hudson usb controllers | 00:12 |
| Cosman246 | also, what's ppa-purge? | 00:12 |
| WeThePeople | cosman246, what do you want to do?? | 00:12 |
| jrib | !info ppa-purge | 00:12 |
| ubottu | ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr56 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB | 00:12 |
| Cosman246 | WeThePeople: save my system, then switch to xubuntu | 00:13 |
| Cosman246 | hm. the elementaryOS thing isn't in the PPAs | 00:14 |
| Cosman246 | at least, it doesn't show in sources.list | 00:14 |
| jrib | Cosman246: is that one of the PPAs you disabled? | 00:14 |
| Cosman246 | jrib: no, it's not | 00:14 |
| jrib | Cosman246: well that makes this more interesting :) Do you remember what you disabled? | 00:14 |
| ubuntoo10 | also, what is the name of the applet that shows your battery life on a laptop ? | 00:15 |
| rsser | how can I install old version of wine? | 00:15 |
| Cosman246 | MATE and YaCy were disabled far before | 00:15 |
| rsser | I'd like to install wine version 1.3 | 00:15 |
| Cosman246 | Tor, Emacs24, and Racket were not | 00:15 |
| Cosman246 | I just disabled them | 00:15 |
| Meris | ywonuwerk, did you look up that controller on the linux hardware DB? Hang on, that is probably the USB hub that your AMT device connects to, not the Hardware ID of the device itself. | 00:16 |
| jrib | Cosman246: which of those had the webkit packages? | 00:16 |
| jrib | Cosman246: I'll be back in a bit | 00:16 |
| TJ- | Cosman246: jrib The 'Packages' file for elementarydesktop Natty PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementaryart/elementarydesktop/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 00:16 |
| TJ- | jrib: elementaryartdesktop has webkit and gir | 00:16 |
| Cosman246 | but I never used such a PPA! | 00:17 |
| jrib | TJ-: oh right, elementary was in his sources.list.d iirc | 00:17 |
| TJ- | jrib: In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 00:17 |
| jrib | Cosman246: if you do: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ you should see some files related to the elementary os ppa | 00:18 |
| Cosman246 | Yeah | 00:18 |
| TJ- | jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221560/ | 00:18 |
| TJ- | jrib: (that's what Cosman246 pasted earlier) | 00:19 |
| Cosman246 | OK, I'm working on it | 00:19 |
| jrib | Cosman246: I would enable them and then use ppa-purge to disable them again as ppa-purge tries to downgrade packages. I have to leave for a bit though. I leave you in TJ-'s capable hands | 00:19 |
| ywonuwerk | meris, not sure i follow, but looking at ubuntu database now | 00:19 |
| * TJ- is off to bed! It's 1:20 am | 00:19 | |
| Cosman246 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221596/ | 00:19 |
| Cosman246 | oh crap | 00:20 |
| Cosman246 | TJ-, what's your advice? | 00:21 |
| jackwu | when the new version is going to be released? | 00:23 |
| TJ- | Cosman246: Save your data and important configuration files, delete OS and install clean and fresh. | 00:24 |
| TJ- | ywonuwerk: I saw your Ubuntu Answers question. Have you looked at the driver here? http://linux.fjfi.cvut.cz/~taxman/hw/hanvon/ | 00:24 |
| Cosman246 | TJ- OK | 00:24 |
| TJ- | Cosman246: PPAs can be very dangerous once you start adding them ad-hoc... you depart from the controlled packaging that the Ubuntu archives maintain | 00:25 |
| AnonChiChenItza | :) | 00:26 |
| ywonuwerk | cosman246, thanks, yes tried without success. Favux on digimend suggested this was because it id's as Hanwang not Hanvon in lsusb | 00:28 |
| TJ- | ywonuwerk: Ahhh | 00:28 |

| dgsafewright | Does anyone have any personal finance software suggestions? I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 Bit. Ubuntu software center shows wxBanker, KMyMoney, GnuCash, Grisbi, Darhon, and skrooge. | 00:29 |

| TJ- | ywonuwerk: I just fetched that hanvon driver source-code. It claims to support the USB ID of your tablet | 00:31 |
| Meris | jiffe1, if they have the same hardware, you might consider cloning them and adjust the hostname afterwards | 00:31 |
| TJ- | ywonuwerk: After you built that driver, and modprobe-d it, did you monitor /var/log/kern.log when plugging the tablet in to see what the driver reports? | 00:32 |
| === nico_ is now known as Discuteur | ||
| Meris | ywonuwerk, hint: try sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log | 00:33 |
| TJ- | jiffe1: Create a virtual machine on a *raw* file, install the image into it, then 'dd' the image to each server? | 00:33 |
| TJ- | Meris: I'm not clear if the driver was built yet | 00:33 |
| kostkon | dgsafewright, check also moneydance http://moneydance.com/ (although it's not free) and homebank | 00:34 |
| ywonuwerk | tj, not sure now as i've tried various versions of that driver and got no response from it. did not monitor kern.log tho. what should i see? | 00:35 |
| dgsafewright | thank you kostkon | 00:35 |
| kostkon | dgsafewright, you can download a trial version of moneydance if you want to check it out | 00:35 |
| === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt | ||
| TJ- | ywonuwerk: I'd expect to see at least the driver name and version. | 00:37 |
| TJ- | ywonuwerk: you'd probably need to enable some enhanced usb sub-system debug messages, but the code is written to recognise the USB ID of your device | 00:39 |
| jiffe1 | I was thinking of something like a configuation manager | 00:39 |
| ywonuwerk | tj: you're going in over my experience level, i'm new at this | 00:40 |

| wilee-nilee | zodiak, here is a ppa with 4.2 and 4.3 https://launchpad.net/~xtaran/+archive/xen-tools/ | 00:51 |
| zodiak | wilee-nilee, ah, sadly, xen-tools != xen | 00:51 |
| zodiak | think the difference between rc.d scripts and kernel | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | LeChacal2: samba is a lame choice if you only have gnu/linux clients (not so bad if you have windows clients). BUT filesystem shouldn't matter for samba/nfs. | 00:53 |

| alusion | Dear ubuntu, I am a power user who likes to do many things at once. When I browse the internet, 50-100 tabs open on my machines is normal. How can I manage my tabs easier or workspaces? I have gnome-shell 3.4 ubuntu 12.04 thanks | 01:04 |
| MrHacks | got it. s/_/-/ | 01:04 |
| zodiak | alusion, use the workspaces, have chrome running with certain amount of tabs in each screen | 01:04 |
| WeThePeople | alusion, how do you want to manage them? | 01:04 |
| zodiak | or use firefox and the groups that they put in a while back | 01:04 |
| zodiak | MrHacks, after it's installed, run sensors-detect (answer 'yes' to everything really ;) | 01:05 |
| alusion | How do I envoke workspaces? Should I manage different profiles as well perhaps? I will upload a screenshot of my current workstation | 01:05 |
| effigy | is there an easier way to install java into firefox? | 01:05 |
| zodiak | then you can jst run sensors from the command line or get one of those fancy gui's or..whatever | 01:05 |
| MrHacks | zodiak: tyvm | 01:06 |

| alusion | Perhaps I'll make a second profile.. | 01:07 |

| adoniscik | find does not list the date so I do not understand how sort can work. I appreciate your help | 01:15 |
| escott | adoniscik, somewhere in the find manual it should mention how to print the date as well as the filename | 01:16 |
| zodiak | adoniscik, you never mentioned by date | 01:16 |
| zodiak | until as the addition, but yes, you have to print out the date and then use sort on that column | 01:16 |

| cromag | sunil__: what works? | 01:17 |
| cromag | oh | 01:18 |
| sunil__ | ls works @cromag | 01:18 |
| cromag | sunil__: can you start it from the menu ? | 01:18 |
| zodiak | adoniscik, I would probably pipe the find into awk | 01:18 |
| adoniscik | zodiak, is it possible to use ls? | 01:18 |
| escott | adoniscik, some shells support ls **/* syntax or ls */* syntax but not all | 01:18 |

| xangua | Ray2: if you wanna try gnome-shell on live cd try any of the distros that it comes with gnome3.org | 01:27 |
| escott | Cache_Money, yes, but you can only grow/move the ubuntu partition from the livecd | 01:27 |
| xangua | Ray2: you can also install gnome shell on Ubuntu once you install it | 01:27 |
| Cache_Money | escott: is that the easiest solution or should I erase Windows and install Ubuntu on top of that (leaving 40G free)? | 01:29 |
| Ray2 | xangua, If I install then I will have to select gnome-shell at login | 01:29 |
| xangua | Ray2: if you install ubuntu, you will need to install gnome-shell after to select it at the login screen | 01:30 |
| ring2 | it is possible to just install gnome-shell after booting the live-cd. after logging out, gnome-shell is available as session | 01:30 |
| Ray2 | xangua, Thanks for the info | 01:30 |
| wilee-nilee | ring2, a live cd wont save any sessons | 01:32 |
| ring2 | wilee-nilee, if you reboot, it doesn't save anything, sure. but if you just log out, you can select a different session | 01:33 |
| wilee-nilee | ring2, true you can probably install gnome-shell it is just a few more packages, use a usb with persistence maybe. | 01:35 |

| wilee-nilee | james__, yes and manually, why? | 01:38 |
| wilee-nilee | bootloader in the mbr though, you need grub | 01:39 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, grub failed to install, i assume its because my laptop uses uefi so now that the system is installed, ill just use a usb drive to boot into it from now on | 01:39 |
| ironfoot495 | hello can someone help me find the problem with suphp cause a 500 error??? | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | james__Ah uefi this a dual boot with another OS? | 01:40 |
| melkor | okay, my hard drive has lost the ext4 partition again. Is this a hardware failure or is it software? | 01:40 |
| rsser | how to solve this error ==> http://postimage.org/image/a9mm8woch/ | 01:41 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, i would like to dual boot but with linux on the internal hard drive and windows on a usb hard drive | 01:41 |
| MrHacks | zodiak: you still here? I installed lm-sensors, ran the sensors-detect and restarted the modules-init-tools service. How do I get the CPU temperature? | 01:42 |

| ring1 | MrHacks, run sensors | 01:43 |
| zodiak | MrHacks, sensors | 01:43 |
| MrHacks | thanks, ring1, zodiak | 01:43 |
| zodiak | np | 01:43 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, Which windows I don't think it will run continuously on a usb. | 01:44 |
| graingert | james__: you'll need windows 8 Enterprise for external drive boot | 01:44 |
| wilee-nilee | MS does not like that W8 might be the only one that will. | 01:44 |
| graingert | wilee-nilee: + enterprise only | 01:45 |
| wilee-nilee | otay | 01:45 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, windows 7 is what im planning booting from an external usb 3 hard drive haha | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | in the words of eddie murphy playing buckwheat | 01:46 |
| MrHacks | who shot buckwheat? | 01:46 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | MrHacks: me :P | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, You ever try the ubuntu forums with this dual boot thought on the internal HD? | 01:48 |
| MrHacks | Anyone know how I can get a textual readout of battery information? For running linux in a pure text environment in something like tmux? | 01:49 |
| MrHacks | THE_GFR|WORK: I will avenge his fans and family by making a holographic buckwheat! | 01:49 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, no i havent, i assumed that it could be done, i want to do it for gaming only and use linux on the internal drive for my daily work | 01:50 |
| MrHacks | He can kick holo-2pac and holo-Biggie's ass with holo-Kurt Cobain's shotgun! | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, Try the forums, your assumptions are not working. I think there are problems with windows in a uefi and running ubuntu, not sure really, I have not had to mess with a uefi. | 01:51 |
| brainysm1rf | Just wondering if anyone can think of any reason why you cannot ping a server but can access its resources. I haven't turned off ping. | 01:51 |
| escott | Cache_Money, if windows is after ubuntu a grow is very fast. if windows is before ubuntu then you have to move the entire ubuntu partition first which can take a long time | 01:52 |
| ring1 | MrHacks, maybe acpi -V | 01:52 |
| Cache_Money | escott: windows is before | 01:52 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, ok, im not really concerned with windows, i just need to have linux boot normally | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, Is this a computer that has to have uefi? | 01:53 |
| james__ | yes | 01:54 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, actually, i think so | 01:54 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, i dont see any options on turning it off | 01:54 |
| ring1 | MrHacks, you could browse /proc/acpi/ and then cat the corresponding file | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, Post your setup on the forums and relax for some help if you do not get it here. | 01:54 |
| Techie-Micheal | Hi. I've got a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 server that is having weird load issues. It seems that when I log in, my load starts climbing and will generally sit at .4 or higher on the 5 min average when it is doing nothing. I've not yet deployed my apps to this server, I'm still setting it up. However, when I log out and log in after a bit, my 5 min avg load is at 0.00 and will then start climbing. What | 01:56 |
| Techie-Micheal | can I look for to figure out what's going on? top/ntop give me nothing useful. vmstat doesn't show any waiting. | 01:56 |
| Techie-Micheal | I can't seem to figure out what's going on. | 01:56 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, ok, i think for now i will see if i can get a thumbdrive to act as my bootloader for linux until this uefi can be sorted out | 01:56 |
| brainysm1rf | Tichie-Michael ps aux | 01:56 |
| zodiak | Techie-Micheal, login .. leave htop runninbg | 01:56 |
| Techie-Micheal | brainysm1rf: Okay, one sec. I'll paste it in to paste.ubuntu. | 01:57 |
| zodiak | urm.. I don't think that's going to be much use.. | 01:57 |
| zodiak | you are reporting a growing trend, a snapshot of ps auxfw won't do much | 01:58 |
| maxflax | strange thing.. my computer wont start but I can log into it with ssh.. but I see nothing in the dmesg logs and so on.. but I can clearly see on the tv that its trying to start up | 01:58 |
| zodiak | htop and leave it running | 01:58 |
| Techie-Micheal | zodiak: Okay. | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | james__, I would just use supergrub on the thumb. | 01:58 |
| zodiak | maxflax, basically your video output isn't reaching the tv.. probably it can't get the resolutions for X from the tv | 01:58 |
| Techie-Micheal | zodiak: Right now my load is 0.00 0.01 0.05. It generally starts climbing pretty soon here. | 01:59 |
| brainysm1rf | ps aux | head has told me what processes were running hot in the past | 01:59 |
| zodiak | Techie-Micheal, well.. look at the top of htop .. you will see things bubbling up | 01:59 |
| james__ | wilee-nilee, thanks for the help, i will look into supergrub | 02:00 |
| rgenito | join #bitcoin-otc | 02:00 |
| maxflax | zodiak: it's something else aswell... but I can't see crap in the logs.. very frustrating | 02:01 |
| zodiak | maxflax, well, if the x server can't get resolutions, you would ONLY see it in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or whatever) | 02:01 |
| rgenito | does anyone here mount encrypted HFS+ dmg images? | 02:02 |

| ktklam9 | hi, why does Rhythmbox keep messing up my ID3 tags for my mp3 files? Even after I manually corrected them? | 02:02 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest93525 | ||
| zodiak | ktklam9, no idea.. I use quod libet | 02:03 |
| zodiak | much (MUCH) faster on my 80gb+ music | 02:04 |
| Guest93525 | I can't seem to install linux on my desktop co-existing with windows xp | 02:04 |
| maxflax | zodiak: have looked in Xorg log file.. what should I be looking for telling me it's like your stating? | 02:04 |
| Guest93525 | it only gives me the option to replace windows xp completely | 02:04 |
| zodiak | maxflax, fling it up on pastie or pastebot or.. someplace | 02:04 |
| ktklam9 | my ID3 tags are still messed up even after I uninstalled Rhythmbox??? How can I stop Ubuntu from trying to fix ID3 tags of my mp3 files? It does a really bad a job at it! | 02:05 |
| arooni-mobile | is there a way to monitor fan speed on ubuntu 12.04 64bit? | 02:05 |
| ring2 | rgenito, what's your problem? mounting? | 02:05 |
| rgenito | yes, trying to mount an aes256 disk image | 02:05 |
| zodiak | ktklam9, seriously, jst ignore rhythmbox | 02:05 |
| zodiak | arooni-mobile, lm-sensors tells you fan speed (if it can) | 02:06 |
| xangua | i've had having a lot of chashes in firefox 15 (starting with it) lately, every time i want to enter it's preferences or even change the buttons with edit>customize firefox just closes up; i even deleted my profile and create a new one...keeps crashing | 02:06 |
| ktklam9 | zodiak: I uninstalled rhythmbox and my ID3 are still messed up | 02:06 |
| rgenito | ring2, i get the error "ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument" | 02:06 |
| zodiak | ktklam9, STOP USING IT | 02:06 |
| ktklam9 | zodiak: I uninstalled it? So how can I be using it? | 02:06 |
| zodiak | your id3 are now 'messed up' | 02:06 |
| rgenito | http://pastie.org/private/y6ncdiezuumbjylq0l50ua | 02:06 |
| zodiak | it's not something the program does that's revertable | 02:06 |
| arooni-mobile | zodiak, how do i use that? | 02:07 |
| superfake123 | my sound control thing in the top right of the window doesn't seem to be working anymore how do I reset it? | 02:07 |
| ktklam9 | zodiak: then how am I supposed to organize my mp3 files? | 02:07 |
| maxflax | zodiak: here is the log http://pastebin.com/q95xv0aH | 02:07 |
| zodiak | arooni-mobile, apt-get install lm-sensors, run sensors-detect (answer yes to jst about everything), then run sensors | 02:07 |
| zodiak | ktklam9, urm.. by directories and using a good client ? | 02:07 |
| zodiak | maxflax, danke.. let me take a look see | 02:08 |
| ktklam9 | zodiak: the problem is I am transfering those mp3 to my android phone too, which uses ID3 to organize them | 02:09 |
| arooni-mobile | zodiak, looks liek: fan1: 3395 RPM... looks helathy huh | 02:09 |
| ktklam9 | zodiak: the name of the songs and the artists are all messed up when I transfer them | 02:09 |
| ring2 | rgenito, do you have loop-aes-utils installed? | 02:09 |
| zodiak | arooni-mobile, looks like it | 02:09 |
| rgenito | no i do not... but now i shall install it.... | 02:09 |
| rgenito | i wish there was a way to automatically create a directory when mounting to a new directory that doesn't exist.... is there a way? | 02:10 |
| zodiak | maxflax, I am curious.. if you boot using a live cd/iso .. do you get a picture ? | 02:10 |
| rgenito | ring2, awesome btw... that helped. but now i get "password must be at least 20 characters" @_@ | 02:10 |
| zodiak | maxflax, did you also terminate the X server perchance in that logfile or is the machine still running ? | 02:11 |
| ooha | does anyone use thinkpad t430s here? | 02:11 |
| maxflax | zodiak: it's running | 02:11 |
| zykotick9 | ktklam9: fyi there are different version of ID3 tags, i'd recommend seeing them in easytag. | 02:11 |
| GNS3Talk | Hi everyone, does anybody know the command used to start the built-in 'vino-server' in 12.04? | 02:11 |
| zodiak | maxflax, then google that last line ; ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log | 02:11 |
| ring2 | rgenito, i think, you always have to create the directory first. i could be wrong | 02:11 |
| zodiak | nothing good comes up I am afraid :( | 02:11 |
| ring2 | rgenito, sorry, i don't know about the password error | 02:12 |
| zodiak | maxflax, I would try a live cd/iso of ubuntu next, as that defaults to REALLY very safe defaults | 02:12 |
| rgenito | ring2, ah ok...that's what i figured. anyhoo, i'm still unable to mount... need to dig deeper. ty for that suggestion | 02:12 |
| ring2 | rgenito, is your password >20 characters? | 02:12 |
| GNS3Talk | Hi everyone, does anybody know the command used to start the built-in 'vino-server' in 12.04? | 02:13 |
| maxflax | zodiak: Got this problem after a update i did before.. rebooted and this happend. Wondering if it has something to do with me having a autologin program running.. can't remember what the name was though | 02:15 |
| superfake123 | my sound control volume thing in the top right of the window doesn't seem to be working anymore how do I reset it? | 02:15 |
| zodiak | aaahhh.. so. this is a self-inflicted pain eh ? :) | 02:15 |
| zodiak | brb.. coffee | 02:16 |
| Nautilus | My desktop shows only the background image, nothing else. 12.04 logged in via NX. It -was- working before I applied the 296 (396?) pending updates. How to diagnose & fix this? | 02:17 |
| ring2 | rgenito, as i read, loop-aes really requires at least 20 characters. doesn't seem to have a workaround :( | 02:17 |
| rgenito | ring2, damn, that sucks... because my password is not 20 characters :( | 02:18 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, nx ? | 02:18 |
| Nautilus | zodiak: nomachine.com, a remote access desktop. Worked great in 10.04 anyways | 02:18 |
| pootytooty | hi | 02:18 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, does it work when you login normaly or is nomachine some kind of 'you don't own the computer' service ? | 02:18 |
| ring2 | rgenito, if you find a workaround, let me know .) | 02:19 |
| rgenito | ring2 do you also have encrypted dmg's? :) | 02:19 |
| Nautilus | when I log into the box locally the desktop is there. NX is a client/server app installed on both machines | 02:19 |
| rgenito | if i find a work around... i'm gunna post it online too haha | 02:19 |
| ring2 | rgenito, no, i don't. i'm just curious :) | 02:20 |
| mack_ | what about the topic? | 02:20 |
| pootytooty | i have some updates and my boot partition is quite full. im running 12.04 without synaptic and i can see that i have quite a number of old linux images on my 250mb boot partition. how do i get rid of them? sudo apt-get clean does not do the trick. Also is there a way to configure 12.04 such that it only keeps the current image and the previous rather than keeping many? | 02:20 |
| Nautilus | zodiak: when I log into the box locally the desktop is there. NX is a client/server app installed on both machines | 02:21 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, sounds like a 'nx' problem then.. not much we can do :\ | 02:24 |
| Nautilus | i suspect its rooted in compiz | 02:25 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, if that's true, try using lxde | 02:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | Does anybody else find Unity to be less responsive than other DE's you've tried in the past? | 02:27 |
| zodiak | DeltaHeavy, good gods yes. this is why I have been (and am eternally grateful) to have been using xfce since 10.04 :) | 02:27 |
| MrGizmo757 | unity works fine for me | 02:27 |
| MrGizmo757 | one of my usb sticks wont automount. dose anybody know how to fix it? | 02:28 |
| lmbeta8 | DeltaHeavy Unity as always seemed bloated to me | 02:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | Glad it's not just me. Between this and the Amazon sell out I think I'm not going to even consider Ubuntu again. | 02:29 |
| zodiak | MrGizmo757, check logs, probably a usb bus detection error. I get those randomly on certain machinse | 02:29 |
| zodiak | DeltaHeavy, meh.. you are assuming all ubuntu's are the same | 02:29 |
| wilee-nilee | !cookie | imbezol for the use of bloated | 02:29 |
| ubottu | imbezol for the use of bloated: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 02:29 |
| kyubotsu | !poll | 02:29 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:29 |
| zodiak | *cough*xubuntu*cough* | 02:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | zodiak: Have you seen the Amazon sellout? | 02:29 |
| xangua | !ot | DeltaHeavy zodiak | 02:29 |
| ubottu | DeltaHeavy zodiak: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:29 |
| MrGizmo757 | its only the one USB though. all the others ones i have work fine. i think its an issue with how its formatted | 02:30 |
| zodiak | yeah.. scroll up .. I have been helping | 02:30 |
| zodiak | MrGizmo757, check the logs, seriously! there is usually a tonne of useful stuff in there | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | MrGizmo757, Does it show in the disk manger gparted or on running sudo fdosk -l | 02:30 |
| zodiak | if ubuntu can't find the filesystem, it will say unrecognised ;) | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | ops sudo fdisk -l | 02:31 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes. it shows up just fine. but i have to manually mount it every time. | 02:31 |
| MrGizmo757 | it wont automount like the rest of my usb sticks | 02:31 |
| locoguano | I love you, Ubuntu. That is all. | 02:31 |
| kyubotsu | MrGizmo757: tried using a different port ? | 02:31 |
| xangua | does someone have problems with firefox¿ i've had a lot of crashes lately starting with frefox 15.0.1, everytime i open preferences, edit the toolbar or even just open iot and after 10 seconds it closes; i even tried to delete my firefox profile directory and start fresh; the chashes returned after a couple of days | 02:31 |
| MrGizmo757 | yes. this started after i formated it using the disk utility. | 02:32 |
| wilee-nilee | MrGizmo757, Please use nicks, what did you format it as. | 02:32 |
| MrGizmo757 | its been messed up ever since. i have reformated it using gparted but that didnt take care of the plablem | 02:32 |
| effigy | ughh anyone know anything bout putting mp3's onto an apple product? i've been trying everything on google for like 2 hours. in banshee everything looks like it's working... takes time to transfer, shows up on the ipad in banshee and all that, and then i undock it and the files are not on my ipad. | 02:32 |
| MrGizmo757 | it was FAT 32 MBR | 02:33 |
| wilee-nilee | !who > MrGizmo757 | 02:33 |
| ubottu | MrGizmo757, please see my private message | 02:33 |
| pepperjack | effigy: depending on the app youre using there is might be a 'commit' or 'save' or something menu option you have to do | 02:33 |
| Nautilus | zodiak: lxde looks interesting, any comparison to kde? | 02:34 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, none at all. much lighter, simpler, runs amazingly quick. doesn't use compiz I believe | 02:34 |
| xangua | can't even start in safe mode in firefox :( | 02:35 |
| Katronix | Hi all, for apache is there an easy way to allow it to have access to the user directories? | 02:35 |
| zodiak | Katronix, mod_userdir | 02:35 |
| Katronix | zodiak thanks | 02:35 |
| Nautilus | zodiak: is that what xubuntu is then? ubunto+lxde? | 02:35 |
| zodiak | I think you could even get away with a2enmod mod_userdir | 02:35 |
| lmbeta8 | DeltaHeavy:It takes alot ressource to put distro out for free and they make something out of it as a company. No money no new ubuntu releases | 02:36 |
| zodiak | Nautilus, xubuntu is ubuntu but running xfce (or lxde, I think both are on the same iso these days) | 02:36 |
| uhgreen | Xubuntu = Ubuntu + Xfce, right? | 02:36 |
| kyubotsu | Nautilus: xfce | 02:36 |
| wilee-nilee | uhgreen, nope | 02:36 |
| Nautilus | gotcha | 02:36 |
| DeltaHeavy | lmbeta8: The information gathering isn't something I'd want though, so I simply won't use it. | 02:36 |
| kyubotsu | Nautilus: lubuntu has lxde as gui | 02:37 |
| zamn_ | hey i just recently switched to gnome-shell as my de and whenever i maximize an application it doesn't actually maximize. Is there any way to fix this? | 02:37 |
| Nautilus | 'k | 02:37 |
| Hawk220 | I'm new, so I'm not sure if I'm messing up some protocol, but I really need help. Is this where i should ask, or is there another channel for that? | 02:37 |
| lmbeta8 | DeltaHeavy:They will provide a way to turn it off but understand your point | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | uhgreen, xfce is just xfce, it is a full desktop without ubuntu or xubuntu | 02:38 |
| kyubotsu | !ask | Hawk220 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | Hawk220: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:38 |
| Nautilus | is there any advantage from 10.04 to 12.04 for me, where I just use the box as a LAMP stack for web dev? Want to get into using a php debugger and sass next. | 02:39 |
| DeltaHeavy | lmbeta8: Plus with the 1000 other options I have, why pick one that's shoving advertisements down my throat right? | 02:39 |
| c|oneman | in top, how do I display the full USER (not truncated) | 02:39 |
| kyubotsu | Nautilus: that's up to you. | 02:39 |
| Hawk220 | Okay. Some how my <ALT> key is stuck on. To do anything, I have to hold the button down. I can't click without holding it, nothing. If I don't, it acts like it normally would without the button being held. I'm sure I did something wrong. | 02:40 |
| Nautilus | kyubotsu: just wondering if I lose anything going back to 10.04 | 02:40 |
| Katronix | zodiak great now to just figure out what perms I need to give the public_html directory | 02:40 |
| zodiak | Katronix, np :) | 02:41 |
| xangua | Nautilus: 10.04 only have 7 more months of support | 02:41 |
| Nautilus | dont think i need it | 02:41 |
| lmbeta8 | DeltaHeavy:Your 100% right | 02:42 |
| kyubotsu | Hawk220: try re-plugging it ; also, is it clean? dirt can cause malfunctions too | 02:43 |
| Nautilus | zang: installing updates for 12.04 is what broke it for me | 02:43 |
| Nautilus | xangua: ^ | 02:43 |
| === drecute_ is now known as drecute | ||
| Hawk220 | I might not have explained well enough. It's not the key, itself. I have to hold the key down to do almost anything. To click a link, I have to hold the <ALT> key, right click and new tab it. If I just try and click it, it grabs the window and tries to move. | 02:44 |
| Hawk220 | Somewhere along the line, my <ALT> off and the <ALT> on have gotten switched, if that makes any sense. | 02:47 |
| pepperjack | Hawk220: dunno. you could try disabling the alt key in the window manager config. I know thats not ideal... | 02:48 |
| pepperjack | Hawk220: do you want to know how to do that? | 02:49 |
| Hawk220 | Pepperjack: No. I do not. | 02:49 |
| fenix79 | not | 02:49 |
| moi | "/dns <fenix79> | 02:51 |
| lmbeta8 | DeltaHeavy:Pinguy & LinuxMint are 2 of my favorite ubuntu based distro | 02:51 |
| pepperjack | ok then. if it were me I'd want to stop the wm from capturing alt at least temporarily | 02:52 |
| Nautilus | i'd try turning it off then back on again | 02:52 |
| Hawk220 | Nautilus: Did that a few times | 02:53 |
| Nautilus | 10-4 | 02:53 |
| Hawk220 | Pepperjack: How do I disable the key? | 02:53 |
| Nautilus | oh, i meant the alt key not the system | 02:54 |
| Hawk220 | Okay. How do I do that? Sadly, I am a new user and am not that use to Ubuntu. | 02:54 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| Nautilus | Hawk220: I dont know either, have to ask pepperjack | 02:55 |
| Hawk220 | ;-) Gotchya. | 02:55 |
| Hawk220 | 1510 people, and only Pepperjack knows how to disable a key? | 02:56 |
| Nautilus | the only one that said he knew how ;) | 02:57 |
| pepperjack | Hawk220: you'll want to install compizconfig-settings-manager. sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:57 |
| pepperjack | then you run ccsm to launch it | 02:57 |
| ulkesh | Google is one's friend, Hawk220: https://www.google.com/search?sugexp=chrome,mod=10&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+disable+key | 02:57 |
| pepperjack | its a gui tool so you just click the mapped alt key in it and disable it. if you can type without needing to hold down alt (you dont get a bunch of garbage) then it might just be a window manager problem | 02:58 |
| Hawk220 | Installing now. Thank you. | 02:58 |
| pepperjack | Hawk220: thats an odd problem :) not seen it before | 02:59 |
| Hawk220 | I only have the odd ones. | 02:59 |
| Nautilus | i know how that feels | 02:59 |
| Nautilus | what would be the most suitable way to install lxde? apt-get? like this?: sudo apt-get install lxde | 03:04 |
| OerHeks | Nautilus, check softwarecentre, install lubuntu i guess | 03:05 |
| ring2 | Nautilus, i would try lubuntu-desktop instead of lxde | 03:05 |
| kyubotsu | Nautilus: i'd use software center.. one click install from there | 03:05 |
| kyubotsu | doing it the console way then it'd be lubuntu-desktop, not simply lxde | 03:06 |
| Hawk220 | Pepperjack, If you were here, and a female, I'd kiss you. | 03:06 |
| kyubotsu | tmi | 03:06 |
| OerHeks | pepperjack, go there, be female | 03:07 |
| Nautilus | if I do the lubuntu-desktop, am I still able to switch back to unity? | 03:07 |
| Hawk220 | "Initiate Window Move" was set to Button1. Once I restored it to default, everything was all better. | 03:07 |
| OerHeks | Nautilus sure, just change DM at login | 03:08 |
| G_chaa | How can I make a completely new GRUB install? The one I have on my new hard drive seems to be the same one as on my old hard drive; which is no longer relevant on the GUID partition identifier level. | 03:08 |
| Nautilus | ty | 03:08 |
| kyubotsu | G_chaa: run update-grub | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, Can you run sudo update-grub from the desktop | 03:09 |
| G_chaa | I've tried booting into a Xubuntu live CD and running `sudo grub-install` from there, but I keep ending up with the same | 03:09 |
| G_chaa | ok I'll try `update-grub` | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, Can you boot to the desktop, you have to chroot in to install grub | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | from the cd | 03:09 |
| G_chaa | ok I'll chroot into the new HDD | 03:10 |
| G_chaa | and do it from there | 03:10 |
| kyubotsu | i think update-grub will do the trick tho | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | kyubotsu, not from a live cd | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | without a chroot | 03:10 |
| kyubotsu | live cd.. copy that.. | 03:10 |
| G_chaa | "Cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied" | 03:11 |
| G_chaa | this is after mounting the new HDD and chrooting into it | 03:11 |
| G_chaa | and running `update-grub` | 03:11 |
| Hawk220 | Thank you all, for the advise and the company. I hope you all have a lovely evening. | 03:11 |
| G_chaa | I'm assuming something's trying to write its output to /dev/null. What am I missing here? | 03:11 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, you need to install grub to the mbr | 03:12 |
| G_chaa | GRUB is already in the MBR | 03:12 |
| G_chaa | it just has outdated information pertaining to my old hard drive | 03:12 |
| TheMadDrizzle | Can anyone help me with a bit of a sega genesis emulator problem on linux? | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, put it in from the cd then reboot | 03:13 |
| TheMadDrizzle | The genesis emulator Gens will not pick up the LEFT analog button from my Saitek p990 gamepad. The ONLY button it will not register for some reason, anyone know hy? | 03:13 |
| wilee-nilee | run update-grub from the desktop of the reboot G_chaa | 03:13 |
| TheMadDrizzle | *why? | 03:13 |
| G_chaa | I've done that twice already by running `grub-install --root-directory=/dev/(the guid of my new hdd) /dev/sda | 03:13 |
| G_chaa | and I did check the device letter | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, In a chroot it is grub-install /dev/sdX | 03:14 |
| G_chaa | I'll try your advice again wilee-nilee, thanks | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, the mount and the command you ran should load it but that is not a chroot so a update wont work from there. | 03:15 |
| wilee-nilee | although the guid I have never seen used. | 03:15 |
| kyubotsu | what puzzles me is: how is grub from a different drive in this other one anyway.. | 03:16 |
| G_chaa | wilee-nilee: I don't have my storage devices in my chroot | 03:16 |
| * kyubotsu ponders | 03:16 | |
| G_chaa | how can I tell chroot to make the devices from the "real world" accessible from inside the chroot? | 03:16 |
| ystesta | okay so I have the problem that some people with atheros wireless cards have | 03:16 |
| ystesta | namely the wireless 'randomly' hangs | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | G_chaa, here is chroot link and after the command you reference you ran although different. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 03:17 |

| Sirisian | random question. Does Ubuntu use the CPU or GPU to render its UI? | 03:31 |
| drelyn86 | Sirisian, 12.10 is handling that a little differently | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | WeThePeople, heh missed that. ;) | 03:32 |
| drelyn86 | Sirisian, basically it's the GPU, but if GPU acceleration is not available then it's the CPU | 03:33 |
| drelyn86 | Sirisian, but in 12.04 and earlier if GPU acceleration is not available then it just falls back to 2d mode... so in short, 2d mode unity is being retired in 12.10 | 03:33 |

| myersg | How do I block mumble from the network | 03:49 |
| myersg | like, to block people from being able to use it over the network... | 03:49 |
| blendergeek | I don't know, from what network? | 03:49 |
| myersg | My brother uses it.. my mom wants me to block it. from the router | 03:50 |
| wilee-nilee | myersg, That is bad parenting. | 03:52 |
| myersg | ...no.. It needs to be blocked. | 03:53 |
| blendergeek | myersg, I'm not sure exactly what you want but adding "0.0.0.0 www.example.com" to /etc/hosts will block the site www.example.com | 03:53 |
| Flannel | myersg: You'd likely do that at the router level. Unless you have admin rights to his computer (and he doesnt) | 03:53 |
| myersg | hmm I will try | 03:53 |
| myersg | thanks. | 03:53 |
| kyubotsu | that's besides the point. and yes, it can just be set at the router to allow or block any app | 03:53 |
| blendergeek | I don't know the first thing about routers, and who has admin rights to the router? | 03:53 |
| myersg | how do I block apps in the router? | 03:54 |
| myersg | I use dlink | 03:54 |
| kyubotsu | check the documentation for it | 03:54 |
| myersg | I think I figured it out | 03:56 |
| ClientAlive | I have two little questions: (1) Is there some program already on my ubuntu 12.04 system that can merge files together? (2) Is there some program that runs on linux that can merge ANY type of files together. | 03:56 |
| kyubotsu | it's usually a simple step as long as you have access to its portal | 03:56 |
| ClientAlive | I know cat can concatenate files but there may be times I need a more intelligent merge | 03:57 |
| Flannel | ClientAlive: I don't believe any merge tools are default, but there's oodles in the repos. There's no program anywhere that can merge "any" files together. How you "merge" a graphic file is completely different (and totally subjective) from a text file, or even an audio file (again, totally subjective). | 04:00 |

| shrimants | im running 12.04 32 bit inside of a 12.04 64 bit VM. the entire system is hanging horribly and all of my work is in the VM. i have no idea how to safely handle this situation without losing all of my work, but i cannot use my mouse whatsoever | 04:03 |
| JokesOnYou77 | wilee-nilee: quite a few times. I installed x32 server 12.04.1 with xorg and awesome for a window manager | 04:03 |
| shrimants | all i'm showing is nearly constant disk access | 04:03 |
| wilee-nilee | JokesOnYou77, excellent. ;) | 04:03 |
| shrimants | display, mouse are both completely frozen, but keyboard seems to be working. i can get to a tty | 04:04 |
| shrimants | the cause of this hangup was to send myself a 12mb zipped file in gmail from within the virtual machine using firefox. The system is a 2.8ghz 4gbRAM machine, and should be able to handle the virtual machine | 04:05 |
| JokesOnYou77 | wilee-nilee: HAHAHA!! It worked! Or, maybe it didn't..I'm not entirely sure I did all that much, but having the window in full screen before I startX seems to get it to occupy the entire window :) | 04:05 |
| JustBelievinIt | shrimants: Well you are trying to send a zip file over gmail and gmail has a attatchemnt limit for sure. | 04:05 |
| shrimants | gmail's attachment limit is 20mb | 04:06 |
| kyubotsu | shrimants: why didn't you just copy the file over to a usb ... | 04:06 |
| shrimants | kyubotsu: I have a dedicated folder for all of my school things in gmail. | 04:06 |
| JustBelievinIt | shrimants: I believe that the browser is freezing up the computer. Try shutting it down through the task manager. | 04:08 |
| shrimants | i cant | 04:08 |
| JustBelievinIt | ehh so your display isnt working correct? | 04:08 |
| shrimants | entire gui is frozen | 04:08 |
| shrimants | not only the VM gui, the host gui too | 04:09 |
| shrimants | because the VM is bogging it down now | 04:09 |
| kyubotsu | shrimants: you have access to terminal. run TOP and kill it that way | 04:09 |

| maxflax | zodiak: Solved it.. *sign* finally | 04:11 |

| JustBelievinIt | shrimants: I'm pretty sure shutting something down doesn't mean you lose all your work unless you didn't save. | 04:12 |

| julius_ | what webmail software like squirrelmail does support IMAP IDLE, so that when the server that squirrelmail gets its mail from has new always sends it and i just have to refresh the webinterface? | 04:13 |

| shrimants | but we arent talking shutdown the VM. we're talking force kill the virtualbox program | 04:13 |
| shrimants | if you shutdown the VM everything is dandy | 04:13 |

| nexussix | so I am having a little trouble getting my geforce4 mx 440 working with 12.04. I upgraded from the previous version, and could only get 1024x768 with the nouveau drivers - I apt-get rmnoved and isntalled a bunch of stuff and now I can't even get the desktop to appear | 04:57 |
| 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. | 04:57 |
| nexussix | Xorg.0.log just saus "no screens" :/ | 04:57 |
| akis | Any opinion from here would be appreciated if actually this scary warning is true or not and if in ubuntu special is possible an | 04:58 |
| 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. | 04:58 |
| bazhang | nexussix, what does a bunch of stuff mean | 04:58 |
| nexussix | "a bunch of stuff" means "I can't remember because it was a couple weeks ago" :/ | 04:58 |
| nexussix | bazhang: well it installing nvidi ORDERa drivers and removeing them and removing xorg-core and putting it back - but i CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER TH | 04:59 |

| Nautilus | s/ni/no/ | 05:02 |
| nexussix | so I guess my issue is with trying to use nouveau - "[drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"" | 05:03 |

| effigy | bazhang, sorry i quit smoking a couple weeks ago and i'm just going crazy with this | 05:22 |
| effigy | bazhang 11.04 completely updated | 05:22 |
| effigy | superfake123 how do you do it? | 05:23 |
| superfake123 | effigy, i just plug in my ipod and it shows up in rhythmbox, then I can drag and drop mp3s from rhythmbox | 05:23 |
| superfake123 | effigy, I'm on 12.04 though | 05:24 |
| xangua | effigy: but not the latest ubuntu, with 12.04 you'll have better chances to work with latest iOS | 05:24 |
| xangua | effigy: but again, everytime iOS updates, ubuntu support is broken, it's a never ending story | 05:24 |
| effigy | how long does it take to update to 12.04? it's 12:30am here and i'm leaving in the morning, i need this guys, haha, i know it sounds stupid but i'm in dire straits here... i've been trying to get this to work for hours | 05:25 |
| rgenito | hmm, i think #virtualbox might be an appropriate place to ask this... but i'm really not sure since the problem might be ubuntu | 05:26 |
| xangua | effigy: the fastest way would be a fresh install | 05:26 |
| bazhang | effigy, does the iPad even have a usb connector? what about going the way of dropbox | 05:26 |
| rgenito | is it possible to have 64bit OSes running on virtual box on a 64bit ubuntu install? | 05:26 |
| superfake123 | bazhang, any ideas about my sound issues? :D | 05:27 |
| Flannel | effigy: Try using a 12.04 LiveCD, since all you have to do is put a single file (or attempt!) onto the ipad, right? | 05:27 |
| effigy | bazhang doesn't dropbox need the internet? i won't have internet access. i just want the mp3s on my ipad. | 05:27 |
| rgenito | whoa wait, ipad? liveCD? dropbox? what's going on here? | 05:27 |
| kyubotsu | effigy: fresh install might seem faster but you would still have to update the system as well.. this could take at least couple hours depending on your download speed and processor | 05:27 |
| effigy | rgenito i have no idea | 05:28 |
| rgenito | effigy are you the one asking for help? | 05:28 |
| effigy | rgenito yup | 05:28 |
| rgenito | what's your question? | 05:28 |
| effigy | i just want to put 5 mp3s on my ipad. that's it. | 05:29 |
| rgenito | ah ok | 05:29 |
| rgenito | what methods have you tried? | 05:29 |
| kyubotsu | effigy: you would also have to monitor the whole thing as setting some proprietary software during install requires user input to continue | 05:29 |
| effigy | rgenito i've been trying all of google's luck for honestly 4 hours.... so i've tried a lot of stuff.... | 05:30 |
| rgenito | ok cool, sooo tell me about your setup | 05:30 |
| rgenito | it's not an internet ipad, right? | 05:30 |
| rgenito | actually, first question: on what system are the mp3s? | 05:30 |
| rgenito | or they on a web server? on your computer? etc | 05:30 |
| effigy | ubuntu 11.04 fully updated | 05:30 |
| rgenito | and the mp3s are on there? | 05:30 |
| effigy | yeah but i can upload them anywhere, it's an audiobook i really want to listen to on a road trip | 05:31 |

| rgenito | actually ya, you're going to have to get it to mount :( sorry but i dont have experience with that | 05:34 |
| rgenito | do yourself a favor and get an internet iPad | 05:34 |
| rgenito | TRUST me.. completely worth it. i bought an internet iPad before a road trip from FL to CA, it was SO worth it. | 05:34 |
| effigy | flannel i tried that but you can't download mp3's on an ipad... some stupid stuff i know, i found this out about an hour ago, ha | 05:34 |
| Flannel | effigy: can you download "other" files? (rename the extension, zip them, whatever) and then "unconvert" on the ipad? | 05:34 |
| kyubotsu | effigy: try copying the file directly to the ipad then, if the ipad mounts and i can just open it as a drive , thats what i'd try | 05:35 |
| superfake123 | rgenito, I need help :) My sound works, except the controls (top left) and all other stuff seems to have disappeared (no output devices listed under sound settings) | 05:35 |
| effigy | rgenito what are you saying? i can mount it with banshee but it doesn't actually 'sync' | 05:35 |
| rgenito | superfake123, good for you, what makes you think i can help? :) | 05:35 |
| rgenito | effigy OH ... why dont you do this... | 05:35 |
| rgenito | effigy do you have a win or mac? :) | 05:35 |
| effigy | flannel: nah ipad doesn't 'save' files like that | 05:35 |
| superfake123 | rgenito, because you seem to know what you're talking about D: | 05:35 |
| effigy | rgenito i only have this laptop running linux. | 05:36 |
| rgenito | superfake123, i don't really...i just know some server admin stuff. i hate messing with config stuff and wasting my time... so i just develop on ubuntu. for anything else i use my ipad or mac...screw computers lol | 05:36 |
| Flannel | effigy: Like I said, no idea :) Did I see that someone said that it mounts on 12.04? Could you use a LiveCD for 12.04 to mount the ipad? | 05:36 |
| rgenito | effigy, ever think about getting virtual box and running windows? :) | 05:36 |
| rgenito | that would solve your issue with having a lack of systems | 05:37 |
| effigy | flannel yeah i see people saying they get it to work... google my question and you'll get all sorts of answers... it just doesn't work tho | 05:37 |
| rgenito | effigy if i were you... i'd torrent windows or OSX (later versions that allow virtualization) and i would install that on virtual box ASAP | 05:37 |
| rgenito | that way you don't have to mess around with the sub-optimal world of linux. | 05:38 |
| Flannel | effigy: ah, you have tried it, ok! | 05:38 |
| effigy | flannel i've been trying to do this for over 3 hours | 05:38 |

| xangua | effigy: there is also Ubuntu Music if you use ubuntu one, you can sync your mp3 and also play them offline; it's a pay service but it's free the first month | 06:02 |
| effigy | i got this as a birthday gift and it's actually really cool, but this is the first time i've tried to "do something" with it and i've spent the last 4 hours raging | 06:02 |
| effigy | it's ridiculous, this thing is making me so mad | 06:02 |
| kyubotsu | use your other player then | 06:02 |
| Calinou | xangua: iOS cannot download anything and there is no ubuntu one app on ios | 06:03 |
| Calinou | effigy: tell your friends/family to give real birthday gifts | 06:03 |
| kyubotsu | we just happen to hit the proverbial brick wall , effigy | 06:03 |
| effigy | xangua that doesn't put the mp3 on my ipad, i am going to be in the desert and really want to listen to this audio book | 06:03 |
| xangua | Calinou: use ubuntu one with...yes iphen and ipad https://one.ubuntu.com/services/ ooh now it says it's fre for 6 months hehe effigy | 06:04 |
| xangua | iphone* and ipad | 06:04 |

| effigy | i waited and tried to do this for over 4 hours. all i wanted to do was put an mp3 on my ipad. i bought the mp3 if you're wondering. damn apple is running some serious game, i honestly didn't expect it to be so hard. but i remember trying to do this same shit. just add an mp3 to my ipod. | 06:16 |
| effigy | how is apple's structure so hardcore? | 06:16 |

| Calinou | ^ apple products | 06:25 |
| effigy | calinou that is not the linux spirit. | 06:26 |
| phunyguy | can anyone tell me how to change the theme of QT apps in Ubuntu? | 06:27 |
| Calinou | there is no linux spirit in buntu :P | 06:27 |
| aeon-ltd | phunyguy: with a qt theme manager | 06:28 |
| phunyguy | have one that doesnt want to run correctly, and apparently the theme is the issue | 06:28 |
| phunyguy | aeon-ltd, can you name one? | 06:28 |

| phunyguy | effiejayx, what gIOS? | 06:31 |
| phunyguy | IOS** | 06:31 |
| phunyguy | sonofa | 06:31 |
| phunyguy | effigy, ^^^^ | 06:31 |
| effigy | phunyguy: 5.1.1 | 06:31 |
| phunyguy | using something other than iTunes? | 06:32 |
| kyubotsu | effigy: you have gotten suggestions from a number of folks already. it seems to me you have not tried all of them yet ... | 06:32 |
| phunyguy | If so, give it up. | 06:32 |
| phunyguy | iOS 5.1.1 doesn't have support IIRC for libimobiledevice | 06:32 |
| phunyguy | err i said it backwards but you know what I mean | 06:32 |
| phunyguy | its a database issue | 06:33 |
| effigy | oh shit, haha | 06:33 |
| phunyguy | the songs will write to the filesystem, but the iPad won't care | 06:33 |

| effigy | i'm sorry, last time, i figured it out with the help of y'all | 06:34 |
| phunyguy | effigy, this is one of those things that just won't work yet | 06:34 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| phunyguy | apparently it was supposed to be part of the google summer of code projects | 06:34 |
| phunyguy | havent heard anything since that statement | 06:34 |
| effigy | phunyguy i got you, i downloaded the libimobiledevice pac but didn't know 5.1.1 didn't support it | 06:35 |
| phunyguy | a solution will be to load virtualbox with XP or the like, and USB passthrough | 06:35 |
| effigy | it's funny all these fanboys calling me stupid and telling me to do stupid stuff | 06:35 |
| phunyguy | and load iTunes | 06:35 |
| kyubotsu | we tried to help with your issue but all said and done there is no actual support for apple products here, and now you call us stupid. | 06:36 |
| phunyguy | no support for apple products? | 06:36 |
| phunyguy | is it in the repos? | 06:36 |
| phunyguy | and provided as a package? | 06:37 |
| phunyguy | it is supported, yes, but no it doesnt work and wont for a while. | 06:37 |
| effigy | kyubotsu google my problem, there's a lot of support | 06:37 |
| kyubotsu | HERE | 06:37 |
| phunyguy | effigy, he meant official | 06:37 |
| phunyguy | but libimobiledevice is in the repos and installed by default, so it IS supported here. | 06:37 |
| effigy | what? it's a repo | 06:38 |
| phunyguy | unfortunately not all IOS versions are supported yet | 06:38 |
| kyubotsu | phunyguy: that does not mean apple support, thats just one file | 06:38 |
| phunyguy | kyubotsu, hes not asking for support with the device itself, he is asking for support on a feature of libimobiledevice | 06:39 |
| phunyguy | iTunes works great, therefore the device works great. libimobiledevice works as well, just not on iOS 5 | 06:39 |
| phunyguy | and libimobiledevice is what the request was for. | 06:40 |
| phunyguy | I helped him, please drop it. | 06:40 |
| kyubotsu | here's your cookie | 06:40 |
| phunyguy | what's the issue here? | 06:41 |
| phunyguy | he was misled. | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: Do you know which version of iOS your iPad is using? | 06:45 |
| phunyguy | Jordan_U, already asked him that... 5.1.1 | 06:46 |
| phunyguy | which isn't working yet with libimobiledevice | 06:46 |
| superfake123 | anyone know how to get my sound working again? D: | 06:47 |
| phunyguy | superfake123, what version of ubuntu? | 06:47 |
| superfake123 | phunyguy, 12.04 | 06:47 |
| phunyguy | superfake123, what are the symptoms? | 06:47 |
| phunyguy | and what have you done so far | 06:48 |
| effigy | Jordan_U 5.1.1... | 06:48 |
| effigy | but i'm going to bite the bullet and stay awake and update | 06:48 |
| superfake123 | phunyguy, the sound itself works, but I cannot change volume or anything, and the volume control thing that is supposed to be in the system bar is not there, and when I go system settings > sound nothing shows up under the output device list | 06:48 |
| effigy | also thanks phunyguy | 06:48 |
| effigy | :) | 06:48 |
| phunyguy | :) | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | phunyguy: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ states that at least libimobiledevice 1.0.7 should work with "iOS 5.1", do you know for sure that "5.1.1" is not supported? | 06:48 |
| inasne | does anyone know how to get the touchpad to work in ubuntu on a u552 fujitsu laptop? | 06:48 |
| phunyguy | Jordan_U, unless something changed recently, that's what I was told | 06:49 |
| effigy | Jordan_U i know for sure it's not working | 06:49 |
| phunyguy | and mine doesnt | 06:49 |
| effigy | cause i'm trying it right now | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: You're not using libimobiledevice 1.0.7, you're using a much older version. | 06:49 |
| phunyguy | superfake123, that one may be beyond me | 06:50 |
| `Nano | anyone know where the default context definition is for tomcat7 on 12.04? | 06:50 |
| effigy | Jordan_U: i'm using an updated version of ubuntu | 06:50 |
| `Nano | i've looked in /var/lib/tomcat7 and /etc/tomcat7 but I'm probably overlooking it... | 06:50 |
| `Nano | don't see root.xml anymore | 06:51 |
| effigy | Jordan_U: how do i use the most updated version of libimobile? | 06:51 |
| phunyguy | I am on 12.10 and I have 1.1.4-1ubuntu1 version installed of libimobiledevice | 06:52 |
| phunyguy | yay netsplit | 06:52 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 06:52 |
| effigy | dat netsplit | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: The safest and fastest way is probably to use an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LiveCD. | 06:52 |
| nibbier | looks more scary on the other side ;-) | 06:53 |
| phunyguy | so maybe I should start barking up the libimobiledevice tree again | 06:53 |
| phunyguy | I am thinking my issue is more along the lines of other software supporting libimobiledevice | 06:54 |
| phunyguy | but that is a question for +1 | 06:54 |
| effigy | Jordan_U why is libimobiledevice such a thing? | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: I don't understand your question. | 06:54 |
| effigy | Jordan_U why can't i keep my current distro | 06:56 |
| tjz | hello guys | 06:57 |
| effigy | i've learned that libimobiledevice is important in what i'm trying to do. | 06:57 |
| effigy | should i just go ahead and upgrade to the newest distro and go to bed? | 06:58 |
| effigy | is that the only solution? if so that's fine. | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: Because Ubuntu packages applications and the OS together, supporting a set of applications at a specific version which are known to work well together. | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: There are certainly other solutions but they are probably not easy, and may break things if you do it wrong and I am not very familiar with Apple devices, or the libraries used to support them and so I can't walk you through that process myself (and it's generally better to just upgrade, and then you'll have all your apps up to date). | 07:01 |
| kyubotsu | which already was suggested more than an hour ago... | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: Starting the upgrade then going to bed sounds like a good plan if you don't want to go the liveCD route. Just remember that you will probably need to respond to prompts during the upgrade, so leave some time tomorrow for that and allowing the upgrade to continue afterward (all the downloading, which is usually the most time consuming part, will be done first though). | 07:03 |
| drcode | hi all | 07:03 |
| effigy | i like you guys but you're basically just saying update. i wish you knew why this is a frustrating answer. we don't all have cool internet connections. some of us can't waste gigs of internet. i know most of you can. | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: Also, understand that none of us is sure that upgrading will solve your problem. | 07:04 |
| FloatingGoat_ | whats the most ideal format to format a flashdrive for booting ubuntu on a MBP? | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | effigy: Some ISPs will allow you do download from ISP hosted mirrors of Ubuntu repositories without it counting toward your download limit. | 07:05 |

| Tonisius | as those are specific | 07:27 |

| akis | i am trying to make an application to run through terminal under gnome. althought in kubuntu/xubuntu is easy to do it, i dont know how to do it under gnome. could you please help me? | 08:25 |
| ikonia | akis: what application ? | 08:26 |
| ikonia | akis: why is it different in kubuntu/xubuntu, the terminal is the same | 08:26 |
| akis | yep. the same, but in xubuntu you can make a right click at application's icon and choose run from application iving a special comman every time to force it to open. how can i do the same under gnoem? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | akis: what is the application you are trying to run ? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | akis: not all applications will run in a terminal | 08:27 |
| akis | unetbootin. it runs under xubuntu without any problem pre-choosing the language | 08:28 |
| Kashida | deXter, I just tested it with VLC and everything seems to work. Might I also ask what the difference between the amd64 and i1386 installations of Ubuntu are? Is it just for either an Intel or an AMD CPU? | 08:29 |
| ikonia | akis: unetbootin is a gui tool | 08:29 |
| ScottHarrison | Kashida, no, it's simply for 32bit or 64bit architecture. | 08:29 |
| [deXter] | Kashida, AMD64 just means it's 64bit, which is what you should go for, since most desktop CPUs today are 64 bit | 08:29 |
| akis | i want every time that unetbootin starts to execute this command: unetbootin lang=en. under xubuntu i make it work. | 08:30 |
| ScottHarrison | Kashida, so an Intel i7 processor would still use the amd64 installer | 08:30 |
| ikonia | akis: is your native language not English in ubuntu ? | 08:30 |
| akis | my 2nd lang is greek and unetbootin opens in grek language. but as i am using english interface i want to see it also in english. | 08:31 |
| Npc | ScottHarrison: yes | 08:31 |
| ikonia | akis: is ubuntu set to english or greek as it's language | 08:32 |
| ScottHarrison | Npc, lol, thanks but I was just explaining that to Kashida, not asking the question. ;) | 08:32 |
| Kashida | Ah, thanks for that. I tried installing the 64bit build first, but never got past the screen asking if I'd like to boot from the usb or install to the harddrive. It always froze, so I tried the 32bit build. Any idea why? The laptop is running 64bit W7, so it should be able to handle it. | 08:33 |
| [deXter] | Kashida, the AMD64 platform is so called because AMD was the first to come out with real 64bit desktop CPUs. | 08:34 |
| Wizrd | Kashida, that is an issue with unetbootin | 08:34 |
| === Chase is now known as Scourking | ||
| Wizrd | I had the same problem with my i7 | 08:34 |
| Kashida | Wizrd, what do I do about it? | 08:34 |
| akis | english: dialogues. greek: just to have the option to write. but it isnt that the point. i am running next to me xubuntu with the same configuration and i manage to make unetbootin start in english using the above command. how can i fdo the same in gnome. that's the point. how can i give permanenty this command to be ececuted every time unetbootin starts. | 08:34 |
| Wizrd | I burnt the iso to a cd and started it from an external usb cd rom | 08:35 |
| ikonia | akis: please answer the actual question. Is your ubuntu install's default language set to English or Greek | 08:35 |
| ikonia | actually - don't bother, I've lost interest trying to actually get information out of you. Good luck. | 08:36 |

| juan__ | Hello. | 08:36 |
| akis | greek is my 2nd lang to have the option to right in that lang. it is set also for time/date etc. everything else is in eng lang. so simple. | 08:36 |
| ikonia | juan__: /join #ubuntu-es | 08:36 |
| juan__ | Thank you ikonia | 08:37 |
| Wizrd | Kashida, there is also an issue that most usb sticks tend to use sector 1024 as a start instead of 0. By putting the iso on an external USB drive you might get lucy to install from that | 08:37 |

| rpgsimmaster | Hello all. I am having a bit of an issue, it's driving me nuts and I can't resolve it: I am attempting to use curl, but it's refusing to connect to hosts. It's saying "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host", but everything else I've used on the system seems to be fine. | 08:38 |
| rpgsimmaster | The closest I've got is to it being related to IPv6 possibly - I tried 'curl www.google.com' and got "Failed to connect to 2404:6800:4006:801::1007: Network is unreachable" | 08:38 |
| rpgsimmaster | I've disabled IPv6 in sysctl.conf, but that didn't help. My network router is *not* IPv6 enabled. | 08:39 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: please type "nslookup www.google.com" | 08:39 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: what ip address do you get back ? | 08:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | nslookup www.google.com | 08:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | whoops, um | 08:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | 74.125.237.52 | 08:39 |
| FloodBot1 | rpgsimmaster: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | I tried a few google terms but, since I'm not actually sure where the issue is, I haven't had much success in finding any useful suggestions besides disabling IPv6 | 08:41 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: please pastebin the output of nslookup www.google.co.uk | 08:41 |
| rpgsimmaster | http://pastebin.com/WMXHvus5 | 08:42 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: ok, so that's not responding to a ipv6 address | 08:42 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: curl 74.125.237.56 | 08:43 |
| rpgsimmaster | That works | 08:43 |
| rpgsimmaster | ... | 08:43 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: ok, now "curl http://www.google.com" | 08:43 |
| rpgsimmaster | curl www.google.co.uk works fine, but curl http://www.google.com returns: curl: (7) couldn't connect to host | 08:45 |
| rpgsimmaster | http://pastebin.com/aQZDuNjS <-- just so we're clear what nslookup www.google.com returns | 08:45 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: so only when you put http in front of it it fails | 08:46 |
| rpgsimmaster | Ah. Apparently so | 08:47 |
| rpgsimmaster | Er, not quite, actually | 08:47 |
| rpgsimmaster | ...apparently any domain starts working *after* I run nslookup against it | 08:48 |
| ikonia | rpgsimmaster: sounds like you may have some bad dns cachced | 08:48 |
| ikonia | cached | 08:48 |
| rpgsimmaster | So it appears. | 08:48 |
| lluoc | Umm, not sure if this is the right place but anyway. I live in Australia and I started a descktop ubuntu image download and it redirected me to a mirror in the UK.

| ikonia | sysnod1359: run it from a livecd | 08:50 |
| sysnod1359 | i am running it on a server | 08:50 |

| sysnod1359 | run it from a liveCD on a remote server? | 08:50 |
| sysnod1359 | @ikonia...ok i'll try | 08:51 |

| chovynz | lluoc: so whats the issue? | 08:51 |
| lluoc | The mirror speed as ~180kbs... | 08:52 |
| bekks | lluoc: Then just choose another mirror. | 08:53 |
| lluoc | I did. The issue was more that the site assignend me a rather odd mirror. | 08:53 |
| chovynz | lluoc: nonissue isn't it? the power is in your hands. | 08:54 |
| bekks | lluoc: You can also choose a mirror manually. | 08:54 |
| lluoc | And with the host name I was wondering if there could possibly be some link between the host name and me being assigned it. | 08:54 |

| lluoc | @bekks: Already did | 08:54 |
| bekks | lluoc: Why did you choose the same slow mirror manually then? :) | 08:54 |
| lenochka | any idea what is the direct equivalent of x permission on a dir in windows? | 08:55 |
| bekks | lenochka: There is no direct equivalent, since Windows does not use POSIX permissions. | 08:56 |
| kadir | halo | 08:56 |
| lenochka | bekks: OK, but something similar then? | 08:56 |
| lluoc | bekks: I didn't. I was assigned the slow mirror when usiong the main download link at www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 08:56 |
| bekks | lenochka: No. Windows uses a totally different permission concept. | 08:57 |
| lluoc | bekks: I chose a closer mirror after and maxed out my connection speed. | 08:57 |
| lenochka | bekks: ok.... | 08:57 |
| bekks | lenochka: Whats the specific question causing you to ask? | 08:57 |
| llutz_ | lenochka: "traverse directory/execute file" | 08:58 |
| lenochka | llutz_: no, doesnt work | 08:58 |
| bekks | lenochka: "doesnt work" is not a specific error message - what are you trying to do? | 08:58 |
| lenochka | bekks: well, the question is that I need to allow users to get to the folder but not list its contents | 08:58 |
| lenochka | bekks: doesnt work in the sense that it doesnt do what it is supposed to | 08:59 |
| bekks | lenochka: And how is that windows problem related to Ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| rpgsimmaster | Alas, I'm still having issues. I took away what you said, ikonia, but I'm still unable to fix the issue. The DNS issue persists - I have tried the following: restarting networking; restarting dns-clean; adding Google's nameserver 8.8.8.8 to all network connections in NetworkManager and enabling 'Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete' and, finally, restarting. Alas, to no avail. What do you recommend as my next step? | 08:59 |
| lenochka | bekks: well, not directly related... | 08:59 |
| bekks | lenochka: Then not directly supported in here :) | 09:00 |
| lenochka | bekks: just asking, thought someone would know | 09:00 |
| vartotojas | hello guys. i need some help with some files location.. ive installed one game and now i cant find it where its installed | 09:00 |
| vartotojas | can anyone tell me where to look for it? | 09:01 |
| arijit | do a find vartotojas | 09:01 |
| bazhang | vartotojas, installed how | 09:01 |
| vartotojas | bazhang: lineage2 with wine Oo | 09:01 |
| vartotojas | arijit: how? Oo | 09:01 |
| arijit | vartotojas: do you know the game binary name ? | 09:02 |
| vartotojas | ncsoft i think | 09:02 |
| arijit | you can do a find / -name "*ncsoft*" -print 2>dev/null | 09:03 |
| arijit | or something | 09:03 |
| countley | if i use a gnome app on kde will it messup my operating system | 09:04 |
| bazhang | countley, no | 09:04 |
| vartotojas | are there any other ways to look for it? | 09:04 |
| countley | ok | 09:04 |
| vartotojas | i mean, it should be installed somewhere | 09:04 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| llutz_ | vartotojas: find .wine -iname '*lineage*' | 09:04 |
| arijit | countley: you probably need the gnome libraries too | 09:05 |
| arijit | and you can end up with lots of gnome libraries on your KDE environmnet | 09:06 |
| arijit | to run a single gnome app | 09:06 |
| bekks | Today, space is cheap. | 09:06 |
| arijit | more than space ,it makes your system messy | 09:07 |
| bekks | It doesnt. | 09:07 |
| bazhang | arijit, thats not correct | 09:07 |
| countley | is that bad arijt | 09:07 |
| bekks | countley: No. Do not believe him. | 09:07 |
| bazhang | countley, dont list to what he said | 09:07 |
| bazhang | err listen | 09:07 |
| arijit | bazhang: the Linux philosphy was keep it simple always | 09:07 |
| bazhang | arijit, that is not related to this at all | 09:08 |
| arijit | bazhang: do you suggest a ton of gnome library installations to run a single gnope app on kde | 09:08 |
| bazhang | arijit, lets just move on | 09:08 |
| arijit | maybe a similar app is available for KDE too | 09:08 |
| === nowtz2 is now known as nowtz | ||
| countley | the app is sound converter | 09:09 |

| obounaim | N03l: switch to 12.04 LTS | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 will be a nice jump when it gets here | 10:29 |
| N03L | Because at the moment, I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu | 10:29 |

| dr_willis | what settings | 10:32 |
| N03L | Ever since I first installed ubuntu 11.10, I never allowed any updates, because some update didn't allow me to dual monitor | 10:32 |

| akaWolf | bekks: hm? | 10:33 |
| N03L | So I reinstalled and just left it as it was. | 10:33 |

| dr_willis | N03L: you did a wubi install 'insidee' windows? ewwww | 10:38 |

| N03L | Is that bad? | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | akaWolf: id check dmesg, see if it mentions the card. | 10:38 |

| N03L | Would that mean I'd have to backup all my files etc.? | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | i would NOT upgrade a wubi install | 10:39 |

| Surio | Thanks @Warofthenerd | 11:14 |
| layke__ | This is fine right? * * * * * root cd /home/ubuntu/ && ./check_mount >> /var/log/syslog | 11:14 |

| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, choose Unity 2D from the list on the login screen | 11:14 |

| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, you see next to the username there's like a mini Ubuntu logo? Click it and see if you can pick Unity 2D | 11:15 |
| Surio | Where exactly do I try it? | 11:15 |
| Surio | Ahh. OK. Let me try it now. I am starting up | 11:15 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, the reason it's not working so well is because until VMWare Tools is installed; 3D graphics does not work. Unity needs 3D graphics by default on 12.04, once you've chosen Unity 2D it should work :) | 11:16 |

| WarOfTheNerd | Click on Virtual Machine at the top | 11:20 |
| WarOfTheNerd | does it have 'Install VMWare Tools' as an option? | 11:20 |
| WarOfTheNerd | or does it say 'Reinstall VMWare Tools' ? | 11:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Surio I havent followed, why don't you try virtualbo | 11:21 |
| MonkeyDust | virtualbox | 11:21 |
| WarOfTheNerd | MonkeyDust, because VMWare is better for all intents and purposes? | 11:21 |
| Surio | Funny you mentioned that, because, it did say "reinstall VMWare tools", | 11:21 |
| Surio | and I looked at it before logging in here, and followed instructions | 11:22 |
| MonkeyDust | "better"? ok, not starting discussion | 11:22 |

| Priyans | Hello, wanted to know why cant I have TinyOS and Arduino Linux IDE installed together on Ubuntu ? | 11:22 |
| Surio | from "http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11287/how-to-run-ubuntu-in-windows-7-with-vmware-player/" | 11:22 |
| WarOfTheNerd | MonkeyDust, VirtualBox makes the kernel unsupportable by tainting it | 11:22 |
| === mj is now known as Guest76118 | ||
| WarOfTheNerd | MonkeyDust, VMWare does not, upstream kernel developers will still support you | 11:22 |
| Surio | @MonkeyDust, one other reason is that I am used to VMWare, and having used it for running Knoppix LiveCD, it was my default/fallback | 11:23 |
| WarOfTheNerd | MonkeyDust, advocating use of software that is so bad Linux kernel developers will not support it and Microsoft will ignore bug reports for when it's installed..... tells you a lot | 11:24 |
| WarOfTheNerd | MonkeyDust, check this out: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10742 | 11:25 |
| Surio_ | Sorry guys, we had a poweroutage here. I may have missed some of the earlier chat @Warofthenerd, did you reply to me? | 11:26 |
| MonkeyDust | WarOfTheNerd the end goal of life: to be ignored by Microsoft | 11:26 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, 1 sec lemme check | 11:26 |
| killer_ | how can i make pcmanfm my default file manager as nauttilus is acting too slow | 11:26 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio_, that is one old tutorial >_> | 11:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio_, if you want Unity to work; try 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel' | 11:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | by Unity I mean VMWare Unity | 11:28 |
| WarOfTheNerd | (damned choice of names.... ) | 11:28 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio_, because VMWare Unity, the thing that lets you have a small menu inside Windows for running just the apps uses GNOME if I remember rightly =] | 11:29 |

| akis | i mean how can i disable usb/cd/dvd auto play? | 11:32 |
| Surio | Sorry folks.... power outage again... hopefully that's the end | 11:34 |
| Surio | @Monkeydust, like I said, it was a default option for me, unlike @Warofthenerd, I am not so keenly aware of the nitty-gritty. | 11:34 |
| Aristide | Hi ! | 11:34 |
| Surio | @Warofthenerd, did you give me any replies since our last discussion? | 11:34 |
| Surio | Hi Aristide | 11:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, none since last outage | 11:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio_, VMWare Unity, the thing that lets you have a small menu inside Windows for running just the apps uses GNOME if I remember rightly =] | 11:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio_, if you want VMWare Unity to work; try 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel' | 11:35 |
| WarOfTheNerd | err and pick GNOME from the list on log in screen | 11:36 |
| vartotojas_ | hey again. any advice how to install new java on my ubuntu? | 11:36 |
| Surio | OK, so, although VMWare was my fallback due to familiarity, you gave me some pointers on its advantages over virtualbox. Thanks for that | 11:36 |
| jrib | !java | vartotojas_ | 11:38 |
| ubottu | vartotojas_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 11:38 |
| akis | i found it. dconf-editor -> org -> gnome -> desktop -> media-handling -> uncheck automount_open | 11:38 |
| Surio | Again, what was the tip for GNOME for? to have a better UI experience? Because, I seem to have no issues navigating my way around UNITY at present | 11:38 |

| Priyans | Hello, wanted to know why am I facing problems to have TinyOS and Arduino Linux IDE installed together on Ubuntu ? | 11:40 |
| Surio | @Warofthenerd, we were discussing if the Menu reads "Install" or "Reinstall" VMWare tools for Linux | 11:41 |
| Surio | And for me it says "Reinstall". | 11:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, if it says Reinstall, it's all good :) | 11:41 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, it just means that VMWare Tools has broken 3D graphics at the moment | 11:41 |
| Surio | Also, following the http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11287/how-to-run-ubuntu-in-windows-7-with-vmware-player/ I reinstalled again | 11:42 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, which to be honest, I've found VMWare Player 5 is broken | 11:42 |
| Surio | >> it just means that VMWare Tools has broken 3D graphics I got it now! | 11:42 |
| Surio | I got it now, thanks! | 11:42 |
| Surio | Aww, sugar. I was on VMWare 4 till today. I updated to ver.5 just this afternoon | 11:43 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, 4 was awesome, but I've had weirdness with 5 | 11:43 |
| spud__ | Hello.... I had a /opt partition (on the same this where all the other partitions are) but when I try to mount it, it say it does not exist... | 11:43 |
| WarOfTheNerd | like paths that do exist being claimed to not exist | 11:43 |
| WarOfTheNerd | which broke shared folders for me :( | 11:43 |
| spud__ | SMART status says the disk is healthy | 11:44 |
| Surio | @WOTN, Under the circumstances, Do you think it would be better to revert to release 4 agian? | 11:44 |
| Surio | again -typo- | 11:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, yeah, and try reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch with it | 11:44 |
| Surio | >> Surio, 4 was awesome | 11:44 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, see if it works any better | 11:44 |
| Surio | Yea, I agree! :-) | 11:44 |
| Surio | Nooooooooooo... there goes the rest of the evening! ;-) | 11:45 |
| Surio | @WOTN, OK, I will probably try it again, tonight | 11:45 |
| Surio | And just to reconfirm, removing the Virtual machine on 5 is just as simple as in 4, right? Right-click and select "remove VM from disk"? | 11:46 |
| WarOfTheNerd | Surio, yeah the interface is the same | 11:46 |

| akis | could any advise me how can i make start an application from terminal clicking its button? under gnome. | 12:06 |
| Benxyzzy | What options do I need to mount a volume on the command line so any user can access it? Right now the mountpoint and all contents of the mount are appearing with owner/group of me, and 700 permissions. I want something like 777 | 12:07 |
| nokia | jrib I was setting permissions just for samba and forgot about the linux file system permissions | 12:08 |
| Benxyzzy | akis: You mean you want a button in gnome that fires a terminal command? | 12:08 |
| jrib | Benxyzzy: what filesystem? | 12:08 |
| Benxyzzy | jrib: vfat - but it's complicated by the fact it's a Truecrypt volume. Truecrypt decrypts the volume and then uses mount to actually mount it. I can pass options to mount through truecrypt on the command line though | 12:10 |
| EweR | how to get back to terminal when i launched a process, and know whatever i write doesnt pharse and when I push arrow keys it adds "^[[A" to the line of text | 12:10 |
| EweR | now* | 12:10 |
| jrib | Benxyzzy: well if you really want everyone to be able to read and write everything then just give 777 I guess | 12:10 |
| casper_ | hi, how can I add a particular command to sudoers list. eg, no one without root privileges can do "who", it should be "sudo who"? | 12:10 |
| jrib | EweR: you want to terminate the process? | 12:11 |
| Benxyzzy | jrib: Give 777 to which mount option? | 12:11 |
| jrib | !vfat > Benxyzzy | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Benxyzzy, please see my private message | 12:11 |
| bekks | casper_: Wrong. :) | 12:11 |
| jrib | Benxyzzy: there are several *mask options you can use (think of masks as "subtracting" permissions) | 12:11 |
| === richard is now known as Guest1994 | ||
| EweR | jrib: no, i want to be able to write commands to terminal and execute them | 12:12 |
| bekks | casper_: sudo does not inhibit to run a specific application as user. sudo runs that application with root privileges. Which is a big difference. | 12:12 |
| jrib | EweR: open a terminal, then you can write commands and execute them | 12:12 |
| EweR | jrib: but when i executed this one command i cant do anything anymore, whatever i write and press enter it just adds the line of text but doesnt do anything else | 12:13 |
| EweR | its happening all in terminal | 12:13 |
| jrib | EweR: press ctrl-c | 12:13 |

| Marcellus | how so? it seems to be working fine | 12:54 |
| solusipse | but its easy to get them though | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Marcellus wubi is a pseudo-instaalion inside windows, not alongside it | 12:54 |

| akaWolf | solusipse: what prevents deliver 32-bit libraries? | 12:55 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !sudo | yank | 12:55 |
| ubottu | yank: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:55 |
| Marcellus | I'm pretty sure its outside of it... When I boot my computer I can use Ubuntu or Windows 7... | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | yank sudo is safer | 12:55 |
| genoobie | hey all | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Marcellus wubi is inside windows | 12:55 |
| bazhang | yank, for a root shell, sudo -i , if you must | 12:56 |
| OpenbsdVbox | Marcellus: no, wubi is inside windows, it lives on the ntfs partition as a file | 12:56 |

| ubottu | AMorone: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:57 |
| solusipse | akaWolf well i use them with no problems but some ppl say that using them should be avoided, dont really know why | 12:57 |
| Marcellus | No. I opened it with ctrl + alt + f1, but it asks for a login, and my usual details don't work on it | 12:57 |
| yank | but i see that its always recommended to use sudo rather than dropping to root shell. Any special reason for that? | 12:57 |
| yank | bazhang: | 12:57 |
| genoobie | I got an error of "error mounting, mount wronf fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2 | 12:57 |
| MonkeyDust | yank sudo is safer | 12:57 |
| bazhang | yank, yes? | 12:58 |
| OpenbsdVbox | yank: root shell is hardly ever needed | 12:58 |
| akaWolf | solusipse: mm.. | 12:58 |
| genoobie | in some cases useful info is found in syslog | 12:58 |
| yank | bazhang: but i see that its always recommended to use sudo rather than dropping to root shell. Any special reason for that? | 12:58 |
| genoobie | try dmesg | tail or so | 12:58 |
| bazhang | yank, sudo -i for a root shell, the root password is not enabled by default | 12:58 |
| OpenbsdVbox | yank: if you ran everything as root then your system can be compromised far easier than if you were a normal user | 12:58 |
| MonkeyDust | yank told you twice why | 12:58 |
| genoobie | any ideas? | 12:58 |

| genoobie | well I can't simply mount the fs from the livecd so that sucks | 13:01 |
| genoobie | dr_willis_, any tips? | 13:01 |
| dr_willis_ | fsck the fs may fix it. | 13:01 |
| genoobie | dr_willis_, not so skilled with fsck | 13:01 |
| dr_willis_ | or try ddrescue. but that may take days. | 13:02 |
| dr_willis_ | !fsck | 13:02 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 13:02 |
| dr_willis_ | fsck /dev/sda2 for example | 13:02 |
| genoobie | oh that's easy | 13:03 |
| dr_willis_ | man fsck ;-) | 13:03 |
| genoobie | ugh the man pages... | 13:03 |
| dr_willis_ | be sure to use the right dev/sd## | 13:04 |
| genoobie | yep it's sda2 | 13:04 |
| genoobie | so when it returns ignore error, do I say, "yes"? | 13:04 |
| dr_willis_ | normally. yes | 13:05 |
| genoobie | force rewrite? | 13:05 |
| Surio | OK, thanks irc, I got what I wanted, and thanks to @WarOfTheNerd also. :-) | 13:05 |
| dr_willis_ | never seen that message. | 13:06 |
| genoobie | hm... | 13:06 |
| dr_willis_ | if you feel lucky.. yes. =-O | 13:06 |
| genoobie | dr_willis_, do I keep doing that or is once enough with the command | 13:07 |
| dr_willis_ | once it passes a fsck. try mounting it again | 13:07 |
| genoobie | okay it mounts... | 13:08 |
| genoobie | very cool | 13:08 |
| genoobie | I'll poke around and see what's up | 13:08 |
| dr_willis_ | id be making backups also | 13:08 |
| genoobie | dr_willis_, thanks | 13:08 |
| genoobie | yep | 13:08 |
| OpenbsdVbox | genoobie: backup your data now that you have the chance | 13:08 |
| genoobie | just need it for one more day | 13:08 |
| genoobie | and then I'm going to dump the hdd | 13:08 |
| genoobie | buy a new one | 13:08 |
| dr_willis_ | backup the backups | 13:08 |
| genoobie | I have a raid 1 NAS box | 13:09 |

| shomon | hi, how do I change keyboard to italian? | 13:14 |
| shomon | it's spanish atm | 13:14 |
| shomon | is it easier via terminal or can I get an icon to do it for me each time? | 13:14 |
| Bren_ | shomon, in a window manager (which?) or console? | 13:14 |
| shomon | I was asking both.. is it easier in gnome or terminal? | 13:15 |
| webfox | I need to reduce the console font of Ubuntu Server. If I change the console-setup it changes it but when I restart the machine those changes are lost. How do I keep those changes alive ? | 13:15 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !keyboard | shomon | 13:15 |
| ubottu | shomon: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | KDE: System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | XFCE: Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, Layout | 13:15 |
| crizis | shomon, system preferences > keyboard layout | 13:15 |
| Bren_ | crizis, edit /etc/default/console-setup | 13:16 |
| Bren_ | sorry, wrong address :) | 13:17 |
| Bren_ | webfox, /etc/default/console-setup | 13:17 |
| papna | I'm running Natty and my audio is all crackly and stuttery (and sometimes gets stuck in a loop). It seems to start when I use Flash. How can I get it to work? | 13:17 |
| webfox | Bren_, yes, when I change it it get lost after a restart. How do I persist those changes from restart to restart ? | 13:18 |
| OpenbsdVbox | papna: any reason you are still on natty, its eol next month, consider upgrading | 13:18 |
| shomon | thanks OpenbsdVbox and crizis ! | 13:18 |
| Alligadi_ | hi | 13:19 |
| Bren_ | webfox, is only the effect not working after reboot or is that file back to its old content? | 13:19 |
| papna | OpenbsdVbox: Because this install is slightly old, it's otherwise working. Dist-upgrade has a habit of making things stop working. (Also, I'm in no hurry for a WM change.) | 13:20 |
| theadmin | Does anyone know of a way to sync stuff on two devices, but only in case both devices are mounted? | 13:20 |
| mafiaboy | how do i open sound preferences using terminal (need it) | 13:20 |
| webfox | Bren_, I think the effect does not sustain. But perhaps the file turn back as well. | 13:20 |
| OpenbsdVbox | papna: flash is one nasty beast, not sure how to help you there | 13:20 |
| Nede | my new vps have a problem: Add my user "milanese" in group sudo and adm. But the command "sudo su" :sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified | 13:21 |
| Alligadi_ | flash needs to die :D | 13:21 |
| tf81_netbook | agreed | 13:21 |
| L3top | theadmin: I could write something. | 13:21 |
| Bren_ | webfox, then please try to configure it in the file, reboot and check if your changes in the file persisted. | 13:21 |
| webfox | Bren_, I will do that now. | 13:22 |
| theadmin | L3top: Well, if you're thinking a bash/perl/python script I could do something along the lines too, just wondering if there's a ready solution somewhere | 13:22 |
| papna | OpenbsdVbox: Search results suggest it's pretty terrible in Oneric and Precise, just like it has been terrible since Warty. | 13:22 |
| theadmin | L3top: All I really want is sync my music collection to my android phone, but I always look for generic solutions, lol | 13:22 |
| OpenbsdVbox | papna: well, flash is flash | 13:22 |
| * L3top always prefers a custom solution he sets and forgets... *shrugs* | 13:23 | |
| OpenbsdVbox | papna: you can try the version in the repos or the very latest from adobe or just abandon it altogether (or even try gnash or lightspark) | 13:23 |
| dr_willis_ | i use flash downloader extensions. or flash replacer extensions to play flash in vlc. | 13:23 |
| papna | The bigger problem is that the audio situation is a mess. One rogue application can screw up the audio for the system as a whole. | 13:24 |
| theadmin | L3top: Well, thanks anyway, I'll think of something | 13:24 |
| Alligadi_ | @papna: with pulseaudio and such crap thats true :D | 13:24 |
| === meditator is now known as meditator_ | ||
| Alligadi_ | but with ALSA alone, sound works perfect | 13:24 |
| papna | Except when it doesn't. | 13:24 |
| Alligadi_ | sure that pulseaudio isn the reason? | 13:25 |
| dr_willis_ | sound just gets locked with alsa.. | 13:25 |
| papna | Not at all. I'm just sure that ALSA alone doesn't work perfect. :) | 13:25 |
| theadmin | papna: Why are you so sure? I have a pure ALSA setup without Pulse, it works. With Pulse, it doesn't (garbled sound :/) | 13:25 |
| foobArrrr | my usb dvb-s2 device (TechniSat Digital GmbH DVB-PC TV Star HD) stopped working and I don't know why. worked fine last week. /dev/dvb/adapter0/ exists, /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 doesn't. I pastebined the relevant parts of lsusb, dmesg, lsmod and the error messages of scan-s2 and vlc: http://sprunge.us/faII | 13:25 |
| Alligadi_ | the last two years I had sound problems on about 5 computers running Ubuntu with pulseaudio. And just one with ALSA alone so far (lightweight distributions) | 13:25 |
| Alligadi_ | pulseaudio is a big step back like nearly all the bloated software ubuntu consists of today | 13:26 |
| webfox | Bren_, it seems the console-setup file is correct like after I have changed it. The thing it console-setup are not read again after a restart suppose. | 13:26 |
| OpenbsdVbox | papna: i've used stock ubuntu and my sound has never had a problem | 13:26 |
| papna | theadmin: Because I've ran straight ALSA on many machines and had a single application hose it until the ALSA daemon is restarted many times. :) | 13:26 |
| papna | theadmin: Because many old applications won't work with ALSA at all. | 13:27 |
| theadmin | papna: Doesn't seem to happen here, though yes, familiar with the problem | 13:27 |
| Saevo | hi rsync wont accept my id_dsa.pub key | 13:27 |
| Bren_ | webfox, ok then i'm out of wits here. as a work-around, you could try and add your console-setup command to /etc/rc.local | 13:27 |
| Alligadi_ | but with alsa-oss :) | 13:27 |
| Saevo | normal login as root works | 13:27 |
| Alligadi_ | (oss emulation) | 13:27 |
| webfox | Bren_, what line I would put on rc.local ? | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | papna, alsa works fine for pc based audio and video , even flv files , but unfortunately pulse is required for most soundcards to extract the flash audio on websites | 13:29 |
| Alligadi_ | wrong | 13:29 |
| myk_robinson | i notice with every release of Ubuntu, it seems the longer I keep it, the slower start up gets. If I create new user account and log into it, it seems to go to the desktop MUCH faster. How can I troubleshoot slower boot times? | 13:30 |
| Bren_ | webfox, try the commands you used to set it manually. /etc/rc.local is just a shell script. but be sure to add your commands before the "exit 0" which should be at the last line. | 13:30 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: check what you have installed | 13:30 |
| webfox | Bren_, doing it now. | 13:31 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !bootchart | myk_robinson | 13:32 |
| ubottu | myk_robinson: bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 13:32 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: can you be more specific? Yes, I have some things installed, but nothing I would say is unusual. How can I check for apps that run on startup? It seems that even the login ... | 13:32 |
| Alligadi_ | @myk_robinsons: if you want no software aging, you will need a other distribution i guess :D | 13:32 |
| myk_robinson | you beat me... | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | Alligadi_, well, wrong for you maybe , but that's my experience ..I'd be glad to hear how to use alsa exclusively without pulse and still hear audio on websites | 13:32 |
| bazhang | !behelpful | Alligadi_ | 13:33 |
| ubottu | Alligadi_: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 13:33 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: installing Bootchart now, hopefully that will shed some light on what is stalling the boot time. | 13:34 |
| pranjal710 | hi, how can I add a particular command to sudoers list. eg, I want that no one without root privileges can do "who" . | 13:34 |
| Alligadi_ | @BluesKaj: I switched to TinyCore when Ubuntu was too less transparent for me 2 years ago. I never had problems with sound in TC, not on websites, not in flash not in applications. Maybe it helps when i write what i have installed for audio: | 13:34 |
| webfox | Bren_, seems did not works. | 13:35 |
| bazhang | Alligadi_, this is NOT the chat channel | 13:35 |
| bazhang | Alligadi_, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat, NOT here | 13:35 |
| dr_willis_ | pranjal710: i dont think it works that way | 13:35 |
| Bren_ | Bren_, ok, then you'd have to hope for somebody else here | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | Alligadi_, well we're talking about ubuntu here , not tinycore | 13:36 |
| Saevo | help | 13:36 |
| pranjal710 | dr_willis_: Cant we add certain commands to sudo commands, so that no other person can use it? | 13:36 |
| Saevo | rsync with pubkey doesnt work | 13:36 |
| htamayo | hi, I have problems trying to bringing up my ati radeon x1200 series in ubuntu precise, i don't get any video i got an error that "no screens found" and that the device is not supported, also i don0t have any xorg.conf file | 13:37 |
| dr_willis_ | pranjal710: ive never seen it done that way. thats the opposite of what sudo does | 13:37 |
| htamayo | so, checking in the web i didn't any helpfull, so any suggestions are welcome | 13:38 |
| theadmin | pranjal710: Take off the execute bit for "other" on the file: sudo chmod o-x $(which who) | 13:38 |
| dr_willis_ | pranjal710: check the sudo homepage perhaps. | 13:38 |

| dr_willis_ | theadmin: aha. forgot about those. | 13:39 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: what has /var/log/bootchart revealed? | 13:41 |
| theadmin | dr_willis_: Ridiculous solution though -- apt-get would fix them back to normal on an update | 13:41 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: not sure, looking at it now. Just uploaded it to share http://www.imagebanana.com/view/1y5sub29/mykIdeapadZ570precise201209231.png | 13:41 |
| eduard | hey I am having trouble with updating anything on my jaunty | 13:42 |
| nsudo | someone can please check my vnc and ports forwarding | 13:42 |
| theadmin | eduard: Jaunty is EOL -- the repos are taken down, you can't install/update anything there | 13:42 |
| pranjal710 | theadmin , dr_willis_ : I think I wasnt clear with my question. Example: Anybody can do "ls" to view the directory contents. I want that only people with root privileges can do "ls" . Is there a way? | 13:42 |
| webfox | Bren_, thank you! | 13:42 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | eduard | 13:42 |
| ubottu | eduard: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 13:42 |
| theadmin | pranjal710: Just told you how. But... That would be just stupid for such a core tool as ls | 13:42 |
| nsudo | also i need help in installing my sound on 12.04 | 13:43 |
| webfox | Could someone help me figure how to keep console-setup setting over a restart procedure please? | 13:43 |
| Saevo | rsync with pubkey isnt working | 13:43 |
| eduard | so I cant even upgrade my version? | 13:43 |
| pranjal710 | theadmin: yes, I was just giving an example. sorry | 13:43 |
| theadmin | eduard: See the link bazhang gave to you | 13:43 |
| theadmin | pranjal710: Anyway, just take off the execute bit: sudo chmod o-x $(which ls) | 13:44 |
| Saevo | whats with do-release-upgrade? | 13:44 |
| eduard | alright ill try that one again thx bazhang and theadmin | 13:44 |
| theadmin | pranjal710: Then only root will be able to execute it | 13:44 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: so I'm looking at the chart, and am not sure I really understand what I'm looking at :) Any of this stick out as the culprit to you? | 13:44 |
| pranjal710 | theadmin: Thankyou | 13:44 |

| Sven_vB | leblebi, did apt-get update run already? | 13:45 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: maybe its just perception... | 13:46 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: seems that fsck is being run | 13:46 |
| l057c0d3r | ahh | 13:46 |
| myk_robinson | Seems like startup is much slower compared to a month or two ago | 13:46 |
| * l057c0d3r bashes his head off the wall | 13:46 | |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: for whatever its worth, the only additional startup application I have listed is Synapse | 13:46 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: some of the modprobes seem to take a while though | 13:47 |
| Saevo | help | 13:47 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: what does synapse do? | 13:47 |
| Saevo | Ive a problem with rsync | 13:47 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: Synapse is a launcher, it doesn't start until the user session, though. | 13:47 |
| l057c0d3r | i dont understand it where did i go wrong.. i've tried 5 times now to make a ubuntu live usb with persistent and still not working right.... tried using the ubuntu live cd.. universal-usb-creator and Unetbootin | 13:48 |
| myk_robinson | OpenbsdVbox: I notice modem-manager and a bluetooth module. I have neither. How di I prevent them from starting? | 13:48 |
| myk_robinson | !synapse | 13:49 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: not sure sorry | 13:49 |
| l057c0d3r | i can get it to boot into the live session.. but if i add persistent to the boot option.. it boots the first time.. but laggy as hell.. and the cow directory shows up.. but sais unable to access drive... and then if i try to boot a second time with persistent it hangs during load.. locks up.. nothing.... but if i delete casper-rw and remake its the same over again | 13:49 |
| leblebi | Sven_vB no I had not. But I did it when you told me, now. But the same problem still. | 13:49 |
| KRomeleoN | anyone know if gthumb is in active development? | 13:49 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: synapse doesn't seem to be the culprit there though | 13:49 |
| KRomeleoN | shotwell has been crashing a lot on me | 13:49 |
| KRomeleoN | and gthumb is better i find | 13:49 |
| myk_robinson | does the boot time look normal to you? Like I said, maybe its just perception and impatience | 13:50 |
| KRomeleoN | but idk if its active | 13:50 |
| OpenbsdVbox | myk_robinson: 60secs seems reasonable to me | 13:50 |
| nsudo | can someone help me installing my intel hda via remote help will be appriciated a lot as i am trying a lot but no sucess | 13:51 |

| oldskool_ | does for me :) | 14:01 |
| bootch | Muelli, that's what is in my grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/1222559/ | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | nsudo, lspci ,-nn | grep -i audio , pastebin the output | 14:02 |
| nsudo | @ BluesKaj I also tried uninstalling alsa and pulse audio, reinstalling them, changing the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf | 14:02 |
| l057c0d3r | hmm.. so no one has any experience with ubuntu live usb with persistent turned on... | 14:02 |
| l057c0d3r | thanks to any info that can be given | 14:02 |
| bootch | Muelli, I'm worried that I didnt include some drivers in my kernel | 14:02 |
| nsudo | yo | 14:02 |
| actionParsnip | l057c0d3r: well...what do you need to know? | 14:02 |
| Muelli | bootch: hm. It lists UUID b6848bab-9915-4199-8ed0-5245e7714d90. Does blkid list that, too? And will that be available during boot? | 14:02 |
| aducologne | hi all! i am trying to centralize my ubuntu installations (like using landscape without using landscape). i wanted to use a shared /home on our nas that is shared by all ubuntu desktops. i also want to use a shared /usr ro on our nas so that I can centrally install applications to everyone's availability | 14:02 |
| oldskool_ | Can someone help me with setting up a bridge for my vm server | 14:03 |
| oldskool_ | it doesn't work... | 14:03 |
| leblebi | jrib http://pastebin.com/UbrtF0qQ | 14:03 |
| aducologne | just curious how to keep etc synced - should i share it too in that case? | 14:03 |
| l057c0d3r | actionParsnip, well.... when i boot with the persistent option... it boots the first time.. but has the cow drive and sais can not access the drive.. and then every boot afterthat with persistent just locks up.. | 14:03 |
| actionParsnip | oldskool_: what have you tried and what happens? | 14:03 |
| oldskool_ | I assign a static ip for my eth0 in my /etc/network/interfaces | 14:03 |
| oldskool_ | then I use dhcp for the br0 | 14:03 |
| jrib | leblebi: pastebin the output of « sudo apt-get update » | 14:03 |
| oldskool_ | in the /etc/network/interfaces | 14:04 |
| l057c0d3r | actionParsnip, tried several times now with the unbuntu live cd.. universal-usb-installer and unetbootin.. same thing every time | 14:04 |
| leblebi | jrib http://pastebin.com/WfnrPQjg | 14:04 |
| oldskool_ | then it seems to take over the eth0 and I can't resolve any ips | 14:04 |
| actionParsnip | l057c0d3r: same USB stick each time? | 14:04 |
| Alex_portugal | I have a sony laptop (vaio 397XP)... with only Ubuntu. Does not reboot when i insert sudo reboot.... what can i do? | 14:04 |
| l057c0d3r | actionParsnip, nope.. even got a new usb stick the other day.. and same thing still.. | 14:04 |
| actionParsnip | l057c0d3r: did you MD5 test the ISO you transferred? | 14:05 |
| actionParsnip | Alex_portugal: do you have the latest BIOS? | 14:05 |
| nsudo | http://pastebin.com/4ZXn0H3A @BluesKaj | 14:05 |
| Alex_portugal | yes i have | 14:05 |
| l057c0d3r | actionParsnip, maybe im making the casper-rw file to big or something but only making it 4 gig and got a 8 gig usb | 14:05 |
| bootch | Muelli, when I type blkid It gives noting, I'm on Thinkpad laptop I got only one hdd | 14:05 |
| Sindir | @Alex_portugal sudo shutdown -r 1 | 14:05 |
| jrib | leblebi: apt-cache policy vlc | 14:05 |
| l057c0d3r | actionParsnip, yep.. even redownloaded and tried the lubuntu iso as well | 14:06 |
| Alex_portugal | ok | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | nsudo,don't fool with pulse.conf | 14:06 |
| leblebi | jrib Unable to locate package vlc | 14:06 |
| Muelli | bootch: hm. I am confused. Can you paste the exact commands you entered and the exact output you receive? | 14:06 |
| oldskool_ | actionParsnip: Can you explain how to setup a bridge for my vm server? | 14:06 |

| BuPy7 | вав | 14:06 |
| nsudo | ok tell me what to do now | 14:07 |
| BuPy7 | Hello! | 14:07 |
| l057c0d3r | l3top.. been there done that... they all checked out.. all 4 iso.s i've downloaded | 14:07 |
| actionParsnip | oldskool_: is it not a setting of the VM ? | 14:07 |
| shomon | what is the best or most recommended video editing software for someone coming from commercial packages? | 14:07 |
| l057c0d3r | as long as i dont put persistent in the boot option it boots fine.. but like i said no persistent | 14:07 |
| actionParsnip | shomon: there is no most recommened, nor best | 14:07 |
| L3top | l057c0d3r: you mentioned casper... are you trying to use remastersys or something? | 14:07 |
| Saevo | Muelli: yes it does | 14:07 |
| shomon | not very good then? | 14:07 |
| oldskool_ | actionParsnip: No I want it setup as a bridge not NAT... I think the vm installs a nat interface ... virsomething | 14:07 |
| bootch | Muelli, I forgot sudo sry here's result http://paste.ubuntu.com/1222569/ | 14:07 |
| jrib | !best | shomon | 14:08 |
| ubottu | shomon: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:08 |
| Muelli | Saevo: so what's your exact problem then? | 14:08 |
| jrib | shomon: bestbot should have a list | 14:08 |
| Saevo | Muelli: thats whats mocking me | 14:08 |
| BuPy7 | Windows true! | 14:08 |
| leblebi | actionParsnip no output :( | 14:08 |
| actionParsnip | shomon: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/ | 14:08 |
| l057c0d3r | casper-rw is the file... used to store persistent on the usb stick... that is also booting the live session... | 14:08 |
| shomon | :) I understand thanks | 14:08 |
| actionParsnip | leblebi: try: sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list | 14:08 |
| leblebi | actionParsnip this command: "grep universe /etc/apt/sources.list" does not show me anything. | 14:08 |
| Muelli | bootch: hm. So you're trying to make ext4 your rootfs. Do you have ext4 compiled in the kernel? | 14:08 |
| dr_willis_ | i think theres 4 nonliner video editors out now. kino. pititv. openshot. and that one by the vlc guys | 14:08 |
| l057c0d3r | l3top what im trying to do is get persistence on a live usb | 14:08 |
| L3top | I see... I have never used persistence l057c0d3r... however I do master distros... which is why I am familiar with it. | 14:08 |
| oldskool_ | actionParsnip: Once I add br0 in the /etc/network/interfaces and reset the networking is that all I need to do to setup a bridge interface? | 14:09 |
| actionParsnip | shomon: what is the best video editor in Windows? or the most recommened? Same difference....you will only get people's opinions and noting more | 14:09 |
| L3top | l057c0d3r: I do not believe I will be able to help much if persistence is the only issue | 14:09 |
| oldskool_ | actionParsnip: I think part of the problem is I am trying to keep a static ip for my eth0 and add dhcp for my br0 | 14:09 |
| bootch | Muelli, I believe so, here's my kernel config http://paste.ubuntu.com/1222473/ | 14:10 |
| Saevo | Muelli: ssh alone works, if I do rsync it doesn't | 14:10 |
| oldskool_ | via /etc/network/interfaces | 14:10 |
| nsudo | purging pulse and re=installing now | 14:10 |
| actionParsnip | oldskool_: its not something I've done to be honest. I've seen lots of guides online but I'd start in #vmware to make sure your settings are appropriate for the networking you want to do | 14:10 |
| Muelli | Saevo: how do you know it doesn't work? | 14:10 |
| L3top | oldskool_: if you are trying to do routing you will need two physical nics. | 14:10 |
| Alex_portugal | I have a sony laptop (vaio 397XP)... with only Ubuntu. Does not reboot when i insert sudo reboot.... what can i do? | 14:10 |
| jrib | leblebi: note that your existing sources.list get overwritten, but yes you need to add universe as actionParsnip concluded | 14:10 |
| l057c0d3r | l3top k thanks anyway.... it just dosn't make sense.. why it will boot the very first time.. and then lock every time after that when trying to use persistent | 14:10 |
| bootch | Muelli, I selected ext4 to be included in kernel not as module | 14:10 |
| shomon | I want to be able to choose one that does what maybe a step up from windows movie maker would do.. I use avidemux and I had a look at cinelerra years ago.. I wanted a few rather than a top one so thanks | 14:10 |

| BuPy7 | JognBall, ты пидар! | 14:10 |
| JohnBall | Hello | 14:10 |
| actionParsnip | jrib: the file is the default one from Precise with the good stuff enabled :) | 14:10 |
| JohnBall | Hello, Russian shlushka | 14:10 |
| shomon | we have lots of aftereffects people and I'd like them to switch to open source video if there's something comparable | 14:11 |
| Saevo | I tried it and I >> everything in a log with -v | 14:11 |
| Muelli | hm bootch. Seems so. Interesting indeed. And well, you're trying to boot off the machine you're currently running, right? i.e. not a virtual system or so where that UUID is not available..? | 14:11 |
| nsudo | @BluesKaj ok? | 14:11 |
| jrib | actionParsnip: right, but in case he's added some repositories of his own | 14:11 |
| leblebi | jrib what actionParsnip has gave me. They are official repos of Canocical? | 14:11 |
| jrib | leblebi: yes | 14:11 |
| Saevo | Muelli: I tried it and I >> everything in a log with -v | 14:11 |
| Sindir | Got a mac that's getting blocked by UFW on my linux. Any idea why it tried to connect with my linux system in the first place? | 14:11 |
| fantaghir | Jo :D | 14:11 |
| Muelli | Saevo: what did you try exactly and what is the exact output? Come on you have to be nice with us in order for us to help you. | 14:11 |
| bootch | Muelli, yep on this machine with no virtualiation | 14:12 |
| actionParsnip | leblebi: read the file, you can see it references the official sources. | 14:12 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: I have a ubuntu server that I want as a vmserver... I want the static ip for my nic and bridge so it gives my vm's access their own ips instead of them using the NAT built into the software | 14:12 |
| htamayo | i'm having trouble with the graphical mode in ubuntu precise, in fact, i don't have graph mode, i installed precise using an iso when it was unstable, but now i understand that precise is lts, my question is: i'm having trouble with the video cause i used an unstable iso? is a better way to download the latest and then reinstall? | 14:12 |
| leblebi | actionParsnip he already told me that they are official :D | 14:13 |
| L3top | which VM are you using, and you really need 2 nics minimum to do this correctly oldskool_. | 14:13 |
| Muelli | hm bootch. I'm confused. Looks like it should just work^tm. But maybe you need to build a new initrd or so..? Do you have your cmdline and the error message again? (sorry, I closed the browsers and can't find it again) | 14:13 |
| bootch | Muelli, I did include my chipset driver and AHCI in kernel, but I fear I missed something | 14:13 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: I have 2 nic's on my mobo can I utilize them? | 14:13 |
| dr_willis_ | htamayo: once you update and apt-get upgrade its the latest | 14:13 |
| L3top | oldskool_: absolutely. | 14:13 |
| Saevo | Muelli: cronjob as root will be excuted as root? | 14:13 |
| Muelli | bootch: there is "make localmodconfig" or so which tried to guess your hardware IIRC. | 14:13 |
| Muelli | Saevo: yes | 14:13 |
| L3top | oldskool_: which vm? | 14:13 |
| Saevo | Muelli: ok, very bad | 14:13 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: How would I go about doing that? .. virt-manager | 14:13 |
| oldskool_ | ? | 14:13 |
| htamayo | dr_willis: thanks i will try cause i didn't upgrade | 14:14 |
| Saevo | Muelli: seems I found out why it doesnt work -.- | 14:14 |
| oldskool_ | sorrry I am new to vm's on linux | 14:14 |
| oldskool_ | not sure if that is the software I use | 14:14 |
| Muelli | Saevo: you're welcome ;-) | 14:14 |
| actionParsnip | leblebi: if you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install vlc does it install OK? | 14:14 |
| L3top | Which virtual machine oldskool_... vmware, virtualbox, kvm-qemu... | 14:14 |
| bootch | Muelli, here's my error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/1222394/ I did lspci -n and checked hardware manually I only couldnt find my wifi driver | 14:14 |
| L3top | oldskool_: I am not familiar with the ins and outs of them all. | 14:15 |
| bootch | Muelli, I used config from kernel-seeds.org if it is any help | 14:15 |
| oldskool_ | kvm! | 14:15 |
| oldskool_ | sorry had to figure that out | 14:15 |
| oldskool_ | :P | 14:15 |
| oldskool_ | vmware is avil on linux too? | 14:16 |
| Muelli | hm bootch. Maybe there is some unrecognised hardware. I would try localmodconfig or whatever it was called. Or maybe try with your current config and do an oldconfig just to check whether it's the configuration | 14:16 |
| L3top | oldskool_: yes. kvm probably has the best performance, virtualbox the easiest to use/configure... vmware somewhere in between. | 14:16 |
| leblebi | actionParsnip yes it works. thank you! But I need to ask you something else: where did you get this link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list | 14:16 |
| actionParsnip | leblebi: its my dropbox public folder. I keep one there for when people start messing with their sources.list file and botch it | 14:17 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: Cool so I made a good choice :) | 14:17 |
| l057c0d3r | l3top i think i might have found the problem.. fat32 can not have over a 4 gb file size.... | 14:17 |
| l057c0d3r | sooo that might have something to do with it... going to try and make a smaller one and see if that helps | 14:18 |
| oldskool_ | why is my other nic not showing up in my ifconfig does it need to have a cable plugged in before the interface is up? Shouldn't it be shown if I do a ifconfig regardless? | 14:18 |
| bootch | Muelli, before I used config from kernel-seeds.org I was able to find my wifi driver in make menuconfig now it's gone | 14:18 |
| bootch | Muelli, so how can I get it back? | 14:18 |
| Muelli | bootch: well. wifi should really not be important to boot. | 14:18 |
| bootch | Muelli, you're right | 14:19 |
| htamayo | other question: after the installation of precise i never get graphical mode, because an issue of fglrx driver, but ubuntu can't use and generic module for the video? in fact it's the first time that i have this problem in ubuntu, it always got me graph mode | 14:19 |
| Saevo | Muelli: is the a network boot option via wifi? | 14:19 |
| Muelli | bootch: so try both: you current configuration and then make oldconfig, and then make localmodconfig or smth like that. You'll find it ;-) | 14:19 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: I was thinking I wanted to utilize the 2 nics anyhow .. Wanted to seperate my vmserver with one of my vm's so they look like 2 machines on the network | 14:19 |
| theadmin | htamayo: Remove fglrx | 14:20 |
| SilverSlimer | is anyone here already using windows 8? | 14:20 |
| theadmin | SilverSlimer: Wrong channel | 14:20 |
| Saevo | Muelli: yup, it worked | 14:20 |
| bootch | Muelli, thx will try it! | 14:20 |
| SilverSlimer | theadmin just noticed lol | 14:20 |
| htamayo | theadmin: and then ubuntu will choose another driver? | 14:20 |
| theadmin | htamayo: Yes, then Ubuntu will use the opensource one, "radeon" | 14:20 |
| L3top | oldskool_: public bridge particularly relevant to you... but you should give the whole thing a read. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking | 14:20 |
| Saevo | SilverSlimer: Im using Windows 2000 youre oldfashioned | 14:21 |
| htamayo | theadmin, in fact that is the default option but it doesn't work | 14:21 |
| Saevo | SilverSlimer: lets talk in #offtopic | 14:21 |
| theadmin | htamayo: Hm, I dunno if it supports all devices | 14:21 |
| leblebi | actionParsnip I will install fresh Ubuntu 12.04.1 now. It will have exactly the same source.list file with yours (which you gave me here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list | 14:22 |
| actionParsnip | leblebi: mine has all the repos enabled. Yours either has missing lines, or they are commented out | 14:22 |
| borneo | Is this the channel to ask Package maintenance questions in? I'm trying to build add a new flavor of a package and want to know if there is a tool to help aid creating the /debian entries. | 14:22 |
| htamayo | theadmn: well yes it support my video card, i'm use ubuntu since 4 years i never got this problem, in other distros yes cause the restricted repos but in ubuntu i got video at first boot, even in live mode | 14:23 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: THanks I'm gonna go read up | 14:23 |
| L3top | oldskool_: this will provide you an internal and external network... it should be noted that if one of your nics is wireless... this doesn't count. It will not bridge wireless. | 14:23 |
| Muelli | !motu | borneo may here they know | 14:23 |
| ubottu | borneo may here they know: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 14:23 |

| borneo | Muelli: 谢谢 | 14:24 |
| l057c0d3r | pny usb drivers are good drives right.. i always thought pny was a good brand.. but they were cheep soo.. maybe the drives are just junk ... sigh | 14:27 |
| Saevo | l057c0d3r: what do you want us to tell? | 14:28 |
| l057c0d3r | saevo.. ahh nothing really.. still fighting to get persistent working | 14:28 |
| l057c0d3r | on live usb | 14:29 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: | 14:29 |
| Saevo | l057c0d3r: use kingston | 14:29 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: I was doing right the first time... | 14:29 |
| Saevo | l057c0d3r: theyre slow, but they never failed me | 14:30 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: THe confusion was that my eth0 wasn't getting a ip and taking on the first dhcp ip from my pool .... I always use static and opened a pool of 10 ip's I planned to use for vm's.. | 14:30 |
| Saevo | bye guys | 14:30 |
| l057c0d3r | saevo: yeah.. got one more thing im going to try making a smaller casper-rw file.. if that doesn't work.. i might just install to the usb with no swap and make tmp use tmpfs / ram | 14:31 |
| oldskool_ | L3top: Thanks for the read bro :) | 14:31 |

| CTLwm | anyone can recommend a good software to communicate between users in LAN? | 14:36 |
| L3top | oldskool_ ... not if you are using a single nic. This exposes traffic and is not recommended. Recieving/providing dhcp over a single connection causes all sorts of stupid problems as any traffic reaching that box is already on the destination network. This is not suggested... It is a bad idea. What you're asking to do has a severe overhead, and is not intended for your purposes. | 14:36 |

| eduard | as dual boo | 14:52 |
| eduard | t | 14:52 |
| install | can anyone help with bootloader installation on 12.04, on top of RAID 0? I can't understand which volume should I select | 14:53 |
| OpenbsdVbox | eduard: years ago? then the version you are using is probably no longer supported | 14:53 |
| K4k | install: are you using the onboard RAID controller on the motherboard of your computer or a seperate RAID card? | 14:53 |
| eduard | yes I know thats why im trying to upgrade, I found this guide online | 14:53 |
| install | K4k: onboard AMD 880 | 14:54 |
| dr_willis | eduard: you did a WUBI install inside windows? | 14:54 |
| OpenbsdVbox | eduard: much more straightforward to install afresh | 14:54 |
| io2 | hi, I have been told that ubuntu is to become ads - supported, is this true? | 14:54 |
| dr_willis | heard from whom? | 14:55 |
| === erry_ is now known as erry | ||
| eduard | I cant its a laptop and my cd thing is messed up and this is now the only os I have on here | 14:55 |
| io2 | hmm slashdot, reddit, etc | 14:55 |
| K4k | install: and, with RAID setup you still see two seperate disks? | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | eduard: boot/install from usb? | 14:55 |
| ampd | dr_willis: the amazon lens | 14:56 |
| eduard | that could work xD | 14:56 |
| io2 | so, is this true or is it much ado about nothing? | 14:56 |
| ampd | io2: it will be installed by default in unity | 14:56 |
| ampd | io2: you can uninstall it | 14:56 |
| eduard | dr_willis: thank you | 14:56 |
| ampd | io2: i use awesome wm with ubuntu, so it won't effect me at all | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | i dont consider the amazon lense to be 'ad supported' | 14:56 |
| install | K4k: I actually see 6 possible choices after it fails to find /dev/sda . Googled around and the output of /dev/mapper is paste.ubuntu.com/1222659/ | 14:56 |
| io2 | what's the purpose of having it installed by default then? | 14:57 |
| install | io2: money ;) | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | unless we get special offer wallpaper. | 14:57 |
| io2 | install: of course | 14:57 |
| jrib | io2: as I understand it, it's basically like when you do a google search and you get relevant results from amazon on the side... | 14:57 |
| ampd | io2: probably money, i assume it's like when you install something and they have the check box for google bar or something on by default | 14:57 |
| io2 | i see | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | amazon lens is the sort of thing i would install sounds like. | 14:57 |
| io2 | is there going to be a respin of ubuntu removing that by default? | 14:58 |
| io2 | and all the "ads - related" stuff that might pour in? | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | i got most evey lens installed that i can find | 14:58 |
| ampd | dr_willis: i'm not opposed to it, but i wouldn't want everything i search for in launcher going to amazon. i'd rather have something separate | 14:58 |
| K4k | install: what is the output of "fdisk -l" | 14:58 |
| install | K4k: nothing | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | you click on the amazon/shopping icon i imagine and you search amazon.. same as the askubuntu.com lens works now i imagine | 14:59 |
| OpenbsdVbox | install: sudo fdisk -l | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | a 'shopping' lens with scopes for different online stores.. | 14:59 |
| K4k | OpenbsdVbox: oh, thank you XD | 14:59 |
| ampd | dr_willis: it loads in launcher when you search for something if you scroll down | 14:59 |
| io2 | isn't this somewhat awkward? | 14:59 |
| K4k | I always forget about that, I just assume people troubleshoot after having run sudo -i | 15:00 |
| install | OpenbsdVbox: K4k fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sda: Invalid argument | 15:00 |
| OpenbsdVbox | K4k: sudo -i is hardly ever neccessary | 15:00 |
| dr_willis | how it will be finalized - i imagine remains to be seen | 15:00 |
| K4k | OpenbsdVbox: to each his/her own I suppose. | 15:00 |
| io2 | dr_willis: is there any petition online to sign against such a feature? | 15:01 |
| gotgnu | I have a windows phone 7 is there a way to sync music with ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| dr_willis | io2: no idea. ubuntu is not a democracy | 15:01 |
| install | K4k: yes, but sometimes while troubleshooting with -i you can make even a bigger mess if you're not carefull | 15:01 |
| K4k | true | 15:01 |
| io2 | dr_willis: heh | 15:02 |
| io2 | right | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | and lens and scopes are normally easy to remove | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | we need a lens lens to help find more lens.... | 15:02 |
| K4k | install: so, I've run into this before and I'm trying to find the documentation I had at the time. Basically, Ubuntu is seeing it as a software based raid. Try hunting around for info regarding grub2 and dm-raid. I'm coming up empty so far though (at least anything recent/relevant) | 15:03 |
| dr_willis | im glad the askubuntu lens/scope is in the default 12.10 | 15:04 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !raid | K4k | 15:04 |
| ubottu | K4k: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 15:04 |
| K4k | OpenbsdVbox: heh, I really need to learn to operate ubottu :) | 15:04 |
| install | K4k: am i going to have lower performance, or maybe try to load some driver? | 15:05 |
| ampd | dr_willis: any interesting lens' you can recommend? | 15:06 |
| elaminato | hey. I am looking for a browser which works in the shell for ubuntu 12.04? is there such thing? :D | 15:06 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !browser | elaminato | 15:06 |
| ubottu | elaminato: Some of the Web Browsers in Ubuntu's repositories include: Firefox (XUL, Gecko), Rekonq (KDE, WebKit), Konqueror (KDE, KHTML/WebKit), Chromium (GTK+, WebKit), Epiphany(GTK+, WebKit), Arora (Qt/KDE, WebKit), Midori (GTK+, WebKit), w3m (terminal-based), links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !manpage), edbrowse (terminal-based).

| dr_willis | ampd i seem to use the askubuntu lens in here like every 5 min. ;) they got a list of lens there alsi i recall | 15:07 |

| ampd | dr_willis: hah, thanks, i'll take a look. still havent warmed up to unity yet | 15:08 |
| dr_willis | melkor: and ive used dozens of them over the years | 15:08 |
| K4k | install: I honestly don't know. I stopped using fake/soft raid in favor of "zfs for linux" a while back. I don't know if that's officially supported under Ubuntu though because it's still in a < v.1 RC status, according to the project page. | 15:08 |
| melkor | dr_willis: my partitions will get created by gparted, and then if I unmount and mount again, they are gone. | 15:09 |
| melkor | dr_willis: it works fine in windows and the drive never had a problem before I put it in the enclosure. | 15:09 |

| OpenbsdVbox | dr_willis: read my mind :) | 15:10 |
| melkor | OpenbsdVbox: yes | 15:10 |
| dr_willis | unless the enclosure has some sort of av/mbr protection. ;) | 15:11 |
| melkor | dr_willis: absolutely, I have formated it numerous times, I have even briefly written to it afterwards. It alwas fails. | 15:11 |

| melkor | dr_willis: this has a two pronged usb port. | 15:12 |
| melkor | I haven't tried plugging in both prongs. | 15:12 |
| melkor | Do you have a recommended brand of enclosure? | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | ive seen hd enclousere not work unless both are in.. | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | expecialy with higher speed hds | 15:13 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest59409 | ||
| dr_willis | i tend to use the bigger powered enclosures. not really worth the $$/time to put a hd in a portable enclosure. unless its a hd i allready have | 15:14 |

| dr_willis | 4+ are of the portable type | 15:15 |

| u42p | hi, i understand ufw is a ubuntu thing? how can i make it not spam dmesg but log to a file instead? | 15:28 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !ufw | u42p | 15:28 |
| ubottu | u42p: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 15:28 |

| OpenbsdVbox | defaultro: whats wrong with the fonts? | 15:29 |
| defaultro | also, Microsoft Office, what's the very closest I can use? | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | defaultro: cant say ive noticed windows fonts being nicer. at least not in yeaaars. | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | defaultro: libreoffice is the standard | 15:29 |
| OpenbsdVbox | defaultro: libreoffice is an alternative | 15:29 |
| defaultro | OpenbsdVbox, I haven't used ubuntu. The xorg I am used to is not nice | 15:30 |

| defaultro | but 95% command line and not X | 15:31 |
| defaultro | does libreoffice come with ubuntu? | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | at least you should know linux fundamentals. ;) | 15:31 |
| OpenbsdVbox | defaultro: so you just don't like the console font? | 15:31 |
| defaultro | yes | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | defaultro: libreoffice is the standard default office suit | 15:31 |
| defaultro | dr_willis, I know the command lines very well | 15:32 |
| defaultro | can I exchange files between microsoft office? | 15:32 |

| AndrewM_ | Hello I've got bind9 configured on two ubuntu 12.02 servers. Each server is in a different domain and has a masters zone which works happily for its respective domain. I've added forwarders on each to point to the other server so that they can queries for the other domain get forwarded to the other server. Unfortunantly I cannot get it to work. I have also tried adding specific forwarder zones for the other domain to each with no ava | 15:32 |
| defaultro | i mean, is the doc, xls file compatible? | 15:32 |
| AndrewM_ | s? Help/advice appreciated. Can share configs if required. | 15:32 |
| OpenbsdVbox | u42p: sorry, i just showed you the factoid to tell you that ufw is for managing the firewall (not just a "ubuntu thing") | 15:33 |
| u42p | OpenbsdVbox: oh i know. it is made by canonical though, that's what i meant. i use it on a non-ubuntu box | 15:34 |
| defaultro | what is a nice gui interface? | 15:34 |
| OpenbsdVbox | defaultro: libreoffice is as close as you will get to being compatible with microsoft office | 15:34 |
| defaultro | cool | 15:34 |
| dr_willis | defaultro: try the default unity | 15:34 |
| OpenbsdVbox | defaultro: depends what you like | 15:34 |
| defaultro | it's because the people who will be using this box is my wife and kids | 15:34 |
| defaultro | maybe Windows like interface | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu is close to the old win95 type desktop. unity is more mondern | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | both can be installed.. | 15:35 |

| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| jrib | webfox: what kind of command? | 15:50 |
| webfox | jrib setupcon | 15:51 |
| webfox | jrib, I think it loads or reloads the console-setup | 15:51 |
| jrib | webfox: is there a reason you are not using /etc/default/console-setup? | 15:52 |
| daddy | thats too much to type... | 15:52 |
| webfox | jrib, I am, but it does not keep the setting from one restart to another. | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | ToxicFrog: since obexpushd is a daemon, does it have an init script? and if so, how about starting it whenever your system enters the multi-user init stage? | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | ToxicFrog: that's still not integration, but at least receiving files should work by default then, i guess. | 15:54 |
| nsudo | @blueskaj what do i do now | 15:54 |
| webfox | jrib, I would have to load it manually each new restart. The file is ok but it is not used during boot, then I need to open it every once I boot the machine or setupcon command. | 15:54 |
| ToxicFrog | tomreyn: it doesn't, but it wouldn't be hard to write one. | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | i bet | 15:55 |
| jrib | webfox: have you tried running « sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup » | 15:55 |
| ToxicFrog | A better approach, I think, would be to - as you suggested earlier - hook it up via gnome so that it launches when a device is paired with and exits when unpaired | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | nsudo, did you follow the suggestion i gave you , above ? | 15:55 |
| Aster|Lost | So, I did something. And now I can't login anymore.. My password is correct, and when I type it into the startup login prompt thing, it just gives me a blank screen before setting me back to the login screen... However, logging in to the guest account works fine.. | 15:55 |
| ToxicFrog | And for bonus points, pipe it through something that can ask for confirmation when receiving files | 15:55 |
| webfox | jrib, yes, this is the way I configure it. But after a restart everything comes back as was before. | 15:55 |
| nsudo | yes, i did a restart but it still shows dummy device | 15:55 |
| ToxicFrog | Assuming, of course, that the necessary hooks exist in gnome. | 15:55 |
| nsudo | i followed al instructions | 15:55 |
| jrib | webfox: hmm, that shouldn't be happening | 15:56 |

| jrib | webfox: well you can probably workaround it by putting setupcon in your /etc/rc.local but it really should be working without needing that. You should consider filing a bug | 16:00 |
| nsudo | ok | 16:00 |
| ToxicFrog | tomreyn: already using gnome-bluetooth. This is a clean install of 12.04, so | 16:01 |
| tomreyn | okay, was just a guess | 16:01 |

| jrib | AaronCampbell: command-not-found | 16:07 |
| nsudo | BluesKaj I have installed via Synaptic do i restart now? | 16:07 |
| jrib | webfox: I don't know what the right way to fix your issue is. It sounds like a bug to be honest | 16:08 |
| jrib | webfox: remove it from your rc.local. Have you tried the --save-only option to setupcon? | 16:08 |
| webfox | jrib, no, I just use setupcon --save-only ? | 16:09 |
| AaronCampbell | jrib: I just checked and it looks like that's installed | 16:09 |
| kodo_ | hi everybody | 16:09 |
| jrib | webfox: I think so. Again, I have no experience with this | 16:09 |
| jrib | webfox: I see that /etc/init/console-setup.conf just loads some keymap that's saved. And I think that setupcon --save-only will save your settings to the right place. But I'd also expect for the dpkg-reconfigure console-setup to do all this for you | 16:10 |
| nsudo | BluesKaj I have installed via Synaptic do i restart now? | 16:10 |
| jrib | AaronCampbell: you need to make sure your shell is sourcing the relevant config file | 16:10 |

| bobweaver | scatterp, I would try the 2 debian packages on this page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bitlbee-skype/0.8.4-0ubuntu1/+build/2100238 | 17:22 |
| scatterp | Ok but how ? | 17:22 |
| tyhgvg | well there is a bubuntu os and it cannot read ebooks. what to do? | 17:22 |
| OpenbsdVbox | tyhgvg: what is bubuntu? | 17:22 |
| bobweaver | scatterp, click on the .deb files to download then open with software center | 17:23 |
| bobweaver | scatterp, then install | 17:23 |
| scatterp | Ok testing | 17:23 |
| tyhgvg | the distro we're discussion in that one channel | 17:23 |
| OpenbsdVbox | tyhgvg: this is the ubuntu channel, what is bubuntu? | 17:24 |
| tyhgvg | bubuntu, smubuntu I don't care. but it cannot read ebooks | 17:25 |
| Wizrd | Why build a new distro just for reading ebooks? | 17:25 |
| miraj | tyhgvg , that has more to do with needing a specific app than a problem with the os | 17:26 |
| llutz | and how is that ubuntu-related? | 17:26 |
| tyhgvg | even android can! | 17:26 |
| scatterp- | bobweaver, i tried the package skyped and it came up with an error can not install python:i386 | 17:26 |

| DeltaHeavy | "THIS OPERATING SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT ONE SINGLE FORMAT FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. I DEEM THIS OPERATING SYSTEM NOT DESKTOP WORTHY" | 17:30 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: is that the case | 17:31 |
| DeltaHeavy | tenX: It would seem that's what tyhgvg is arguing | 17:31 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: ah. | 17:31 |
| tyhgvg | llutz: lolwhut? it is fbreader 0.12 there | 17:32 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: more like "its not working. damn" | 17:32 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: gotta complain somewhere | 17:33 |

| ninux | hi everybody! can someone tell me, where the content of an webdirection lays? i have the content on the graphical in nautilus and konqueror but i want to handle them in the terminal. any ideas? | 17:33 |
| hatman | Can't format because USB drive is busy... what to do? | 17:33 |
| jrib | ninux: "webdirection" means? | 17:33 |
| miraj | hatman, something is cd'd to it, probably | 17:34 |
| hatman | miraj: so do I have to unmount it to format? | 17:34 |
| miraj | hatman, yes | 17:34 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: that requires some effort being put in the issue | 17:34 |
| hatman | what was the cmd for that? | 17:34 |
| miraj | hatman , umount /mntpoint | 17:34 |
| ninux | jrib: i have some files on my university page and i can open them in the browser or "open as webdirection" | 17:35 |
| === tinyfox is now known as Fuchs | ||
| CellTech | Does the u1 program let you upload 1 single file? I don't want/need an entire folder backed up | 17:35 |
| DeltaHeavy | tenX: Eh, bitching about Unity ain't to hard in the couple days I've used it :p. Friggen nice just slow T_T | 17:35 |
| hatman | miraj: so lets say my drive is called /dev/sdb how do I instantly unmount it from terminal? | 17:35 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: but actually i like the idea to just quit right ahead | 17:35 |
| miraj | hatman , what is it's moint point? a "df" command should tell you | 17:36 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||

| truexfan81 | hatman: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 17:36 |
| hatman | thanks truexfan81 | 17:37 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: never really been using it. i see the problem not in unity itself but breaking up with what everybody has been used to as default | 17:37 |
| miraj | hatman , the mount point is listed under "df" as "Mounted on" | 17:37 |
| DeltaHeavy | tenX: You mean GNOME2? | 17:38 |

| deadmund | If I create a new .desktop file in ~/.local/share/application what do I need to do to get XFCE to show it in the application menu? | 17:38 |
| webfox | Could someone tell me a application for converting a music cd to mp3 please? | 17:38 |
| miraj | lame | 17:38 |
| DeltaHeavy | tenX: Yeah but GNOME 2 is obsolete now, and replaced with the pile of crap known as GNOME 3. | 17:38 |
| tenX | webfox: rip | 17:38 |
| deadmund | webfox: sound-juicer | 17:38 |
| pth | deadmund: As far as I know drag it into the launcher | 17:38 |
| webfox | thank you guys! | 17:39 |
| deadmund | pth: really... lemme try | 17:39 |
| tenX | DeltaHeavy: okay guess i shouldnt talk about something i have no idea about ;) | 17:39 |
| miraj | webfox, but ogg files sound better | 17:39 |
| webfox | miraj, better then mp3 ? | 17:39 |
| e4g | Just want to make sure I'm thinking correctly: If I want to dual boot Ubuntu and Fedora, on two separate drives, I just need to install Fedora on the second drive and then add it to grub in ubuntu correct? | 17:39 |
| tyhgvg | fbreader 0.12 is more than 2 years old, and is as usable as gedit to read webpages | 17:39 |
| deadmund | pth: That isn't working... | 17:40 |
| miraj | webfox, more people think they sound better than mp3 | 17:40 |
| tyhgvg | is there a normal software? | 17:40 |
| jrib | ninux: try ~/.gvfs/ | 17:40 |
| tenX | tyhgvg: normal like what? | 17:40 |
| hatman | miraj: ok, I'm not so good with formatting... I have a super modern Sony dvdplayer and want to see some movie from this usb-drive I just unmounted, I have the choice to unmount it as the following: Master Boot Record|GUID-partitiontable|Don't partition, keep Fat32|Apple Partition map so which one do I need? | 17:40 |
| OpenbsdVbox | e4g: essentially yes | 17:40 |
| webfox | miraj, Mmm, good to know. I will test it. Thank you for the tip. | 17:40 |
| pth | deadmund: Do I understand you right, that you want an application to start when you press its icon in the launcher? | 17:40 |
| tyhgvg | normal like supporting formatted text and pictures | 17:40 |
| hatman | miraj: sorry I meant I have the choice to *format as following | 17:41 |
| tenX | tyhgvg: no there is no such thing. | 17:41 |
| miraj | hatman, what filesystem would you like it to be? | 17:41 |
| hatman | fat32 | 17:41 |
| deadmund | pth: :P I feel stupid. I am running xfce but I have the LXDE Panel. I'm trying to add a launcher to the LXDE panel. It only allows you to add applications that show up in the menu. This application (matlab) does not show up in the menu. I wrote a .desktop file, but it is still not showing up in the menu | 17:42 |
| miraj | hatman, just a second | 17:42 |
| rocky | hello | 17:42 |

| rocky | i have problem chrome browser problem in ubuntu 12.04. it automatically disappears now it is happening frequently, then i reopen to restore my tabs | 17:43 |

| deadmund | pth: Thanks for trying though :) | 17:43 |
| rocky | i have problem chrome browser problem in ubuntu 12.04. it automatically disappears now it is happening frequently, then i reopen to restore my tabs, can someone help to fix this problem? | 17:43 |

| pth | deadmund: Very good. | 17:44 |
| ninux | jrib: i can navigate to gvfs but i cannot ls anything even if i'm loged in as root its tellin me tha i do not have permission to do anything | 17:44 |
| tyhgvg | tenX: I won't deal with it, even mobile phones have better readers than fbr 0.12 | 17:44 |
| pth | deadmund: The drag and drop is in Unity. Sorry I misunderstood your question. | 17:44 |
| miraj | hatman, here's the cmd I tend to use: mkfs.vfat -F32 -n "somelabel" /dev/sdb? | 17:44 |
| obi | tenX: Stop feeding the troll :p | 17:45 |
| jrib | ninux: what does "cannot ls anything" mean? | 17:45 |
| hatman | thank you miraj | 17:45 |
| deadmund | pth: Yeah, this had nothing to do with unity. :P | 17:45 |
| deadmund | pth: Thanks! :) | 17:45 |
| llutz | tyhgvg: go find another ebook-reader-soft or blame the fbreader-devs who dropped support for nearly all OS except android | 17:45 |

| aniasis | I am on my VPN using vpnc but I am ping internal IPs with no response | 17:48 |
| aniasis | anyone experience this before? | 17:48 |
| tyhgvg | calibre is 114 megabytes: does it work for sure? | 17:49 |
| Sander__ | im new to linux i need my question answered aswell :P | 17:49 |
| SynrG | any clues as to how to get win7 to reduce the volume size further? | 17:49 |
| compdoc | vpnc? | 17:49 |
| hatman | miraj: Ah, screw it, it is way too difficult for me, I don't understand a thing. I used the partitioningtool from the softwarecentrum. Thanks all for the help. Bye | 17:49 |
| ClientAlive | I don't understand something part of a manual I'm reading. My question is whether the word they're using is to be replaced when you write the actual line of scrip or if the word 'IS' the thing to use. Can someone with more experienfce take a peek at this and help me understand? | 17:49 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: ask the actual question... | 17:49 |
| llutz | calibre is not an ebook-reader more a nice tool to manage/convert them, though it has an ebook-viewer built-in | 17:49 |
| miraj | sorry hatman, I was trying to keep it simply | 17:50 |
| rocky | pth, does this info helps? | 17:50 |
| truexfan81 | miraj: gparted is simple :) | 17:50 |
| pth | rocky: There is a lot about chrome crashes out there, maybe you could try a search trying to be as specific as possible. | 17:51 |
| NastyNaz | when I transfer things over SFTP the rate seems to be capped at around 150 KB/s, anyone know why this could be? | 17:51 |
| ClientAlive | The manual part is here: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#merge they are using the word: current1, current2, currentarchopt, and so on (in the bulleted list). Can soomeone look at this and tell me are those words the actual thing to write in my script or are they like variable and I have to replace them with something? | 17:51 |
| CPCookieMan | Check your scp config? | 17:51 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| CPCookieMan | That or if your on wifi you could actually be maxxing it out | 17:51 |
| miraj | truexfan81 , but hatman didn't start out talking about partitioning, just formatting | 17:51 |
| truexfan81 | true | 17:51 |
| truexfan81 | but that program does formatting, may be simpler to use it | 17:52 |
| miraj | true | 17:52 |
| pth | ClientAlive: Stand by. | 17:52 |
| tenX | CPCookieMan: why wifi? | 17:52 |
| ClientAlive | k | 17:52 |
| rocky | pth, does this info helps? | 17:52 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: "Within this string, several special substrings are recognized; these will be substituted with appropriate values before invoking a sub-shell to execute the command." | 17:52 |

| jrib | ninux: why are you doing this as root/with sudo...? | 17:52 |
| aniasis | compdoc vpnc = vpn client | 17:53 |
| CPCookieMan | I figured his cap might be from wifi, if he's far away from the router or something | 17:53 |
| CPCookieMan | Could happen | 17:53 |
| BlackWool | i'm having an issue on macbookpro (ubuntu 12.x). keyboard backlighting resets on boot. any way to save the setting. total noob here. | 17:53 |
| NastyNaz | CPCookieMan: I've checked both scp and the server is on a 1gig line and im also on a 1gig line. FTP transfers at 90MB/s | 17:53 |
| tenX | CPCookieMan: ah okay but thats pretty constructed | 17:53 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: ok, I guess that went over my head when I read it. thx. But now, can you give an example of something you would replace it with (a concrete example)? | 17:54 |
| bekks | NastyNaz: Which is quite good. Whats the problem with that bandwidth? | 17:54 |
| CPCookieMan | NastyNaz, Ahh ok, then I have no idea :P | 17:54 |
| banyantree | Hi Guys =) | 17:54 |
| compdoc | aniasis, if the vpn is working, you should be able to ping any ip on that lan | 17:54 |
| NastyNaz | bekks: SFTP transfers ultra slow (125KB/s) | 17:54 |
| Sander__ | can anyone tell me how to install ndiswrapper 1.58rc1 on Ubuntu 12.04? | 17:54 |
| CPCookieMan | Firewalls maybe? | 17:54 |
| CPCookieMan | Only other thing I can think | 17:54 |
| bekks | NastyNaz: Then ask the ISP(s) wether they slow down SFTP or not. | 17:54 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: sure, here's what I use: merge = Regex .* -> gvimdiff --nofork CURRENT1 CURRENT2 | 17:55 |
| NastyNaz | bekks: it's on a cogent backbone connection, there's no filtering | 17:55 |
| ninux | jrib: where is the "sudo"? | 17:55 |
| jrib | ninux: I didn't say there was one | 17:55 |
| ClientAlive | jfib: Rereading that quote, I recall why I was confused: because it says "...will be..." replaced. So I thought that the program does the replacing. | 17:55 |
| bekks | NastyNaz: Did you ask them? | 17:55 |
| NastyNaz | bekks: yes | 17:55 |
| tyhgvg | ninux: it is a program which allows arbitrary strangers to be a root on your machine | 17:55 |
| banyantree | i have a fresh ubuntu 12.04 installation on my dell latitude e5500 | 17:56 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: unison will replace the CURRENT1 placeholder with the name of the local file when it calls the command | 17:56 |
| banyantree | but it's not as smooth as windows 7 | 17:56 |
| ClientAlive | ohh! ok, So unison is what does the replacing. I wonder where it get the content to replace it with. From the root = preference or something? | 17:56 |
| CPCookieMan | So here's my problem. One day I restart my MacBook (newest LTS) and now GRUB won't boot to ubuntu. I'll have to get my machine real quick. If someone thinks they can help, PM me. This chatrom is moving fast | 17:56 |
| banyantree | do i need to install some drivers? | 17:56 |
| ClientAlive | Yes! :) | 17:56 |
| truexfan81 | banyantree: can you be more specific? what do you mean by not as smooth? | 17:57 |
| ClientAlive | wherre does it get the content to replace current1 current2, etc... ? | 17:57 |
| compdoc | CPCookieMan, boot the ubuntu Live cd and access your files, or even fix grub | 17:57 |
| jrib | ninux: what I said was that you should be doing this as your regular user | 17:57 |
| ClientAlive | what are those variables connected to? | 17:57 |
| tenX | banyantree: you can also wait for windows 7 to slow down | 17:57 |
| tydynrain | CPCookieMan, downloading and burning Rescatux to a disc, then booting into it can fix your dilemma most likely. | 17:57 |
| jrib | ninux: which obviously wasn't the case since ~/.gvfs is pointing to /root/.gvfs in what you pasted here | 17:57 |
| truexfan81 | tenX: thats true lol it will happen eventually | 17:57 |
| _Marcus | I think my AMD graphics drivers are broken, how do I uninstall them? | 17:58 |
| ClientAlive | maybe it says in the manual there and I missed it. Hang on, let me re-read | 17:58 |
| banyantree | truexfan81: sometimes its something like micro stutters | 17:58 |
| tydynrain | synaptic is the easiest manner Marcus | 17:58 |
| tenX | truexfan81: pretty reliable ;) | 17:58 |
| CPCookieMan | tydynrain: If only it was that simple. Remember, this is a MacBook, so booting to a CD is REALLY hard. | 17:58 |
| ninux | jrib: hehe sorry i just had a mental shortcircuit =) | 17:58 |
| truexfan81 | tenX: yeah lol | 17:58 |
| _Marcus | tydynrain: What is that? | 17:58 |
| CPCookieMan | Plus my disk drive is actually broken | 17:59 |
| tydynrain | Synaptic is a package manager | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | nsudo, make sure you have alsa-utils installed , I assumed you had it | 17:59 |
| CPCookieMan | I installed ubuntu using another macbook. | 17:59 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: what makes you think it's broken? | 17:59 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: when unison tries to merge file x.jpg on your laptop with file x.jpg on your desktop and there's a conflict, you end up with something like x.jpg.LOCAL and x.jpg.REMOTE (I made this up; I don't remember how exactly the files are named). And then it passes "x.jpg.LOCAL" instead of "CURRENT1" to your command | 17:59 |
| tydynrain | available in the official repositories | 17:59 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: Oh, it does say in the manual - basically its saying (between the lines) that it's internal to the program. | 17:59 |
| banyantree | truexfan81: my graphic card: intel 4500mhd | 18:00 |
| tydynrain | you can most likely boot from a USB stick if the CD/DVD drive is not functional. | 18:00 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: I get an error when trying to use my second montior as anything that isn't just duplicating my first one. This happens in both AMD Catalyst Center and the Ubuntu settings too | 18:00 |
| bekks | _Marcus: Why do you think they are broken? And why dont you want to fix them, but uninstall them then? | 18:00 |
| CPCookieMan | So I choose the option to boot to ubuntu, and it stays on the typical purple screen for a minute... | 18:00 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: what driver are you using? What is the error? | 18:00 |
| ClientAlive | right! :) ooh... this is exciting. Thank you jrib. Think I'm ready to try it. :> | 18:01 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: When I checked how to uninstall the drivers online, every source said to use a command that I don't have. Some fglrx thing, and I have some folder called amdcccle. | 18:01 |
| bekks | _Marcus: Which error...? | 18:01 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: I have no idea what driver I am using. Let me get the error again, hold on. | 18:01 |
| truexfan81 | banyantree: there are no drivers to install for intel graphics, the opensource drivers are installed with the os | 18:01 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: ok | 18:01 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: You can check the driver by running and reading the output of sudo lspci -k | 18:01 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: yeah unison is pretty nice; I wish I didn't have to do a funny screen dance to use without a gui though -_- | 18:01 |
| banyantree | okay =) thank you | 18:01 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: fglrx is the name of the proprietary closed source driver | 18:01 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: It says this: "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3200, 900), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)" | 18:02 |
| bekks | Well, that error is obvious on AMD. | 18:02 |
| bekks | You cant do what you are using, since the maximum virtual size is limited. | 18:03 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: I did that command, but how do I know if the driver is graphics? I have an AMD CPU as well as an AMD graphics card. | 18:03 |
| _Marcus | bekks: How do I fix that? | 18:03 |
| bekks | _Marcus: By bying another graphics card, like Nvidia, which has a max. virtual size of 8192². | 18:03 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: "how do you know if the driver is graphics?" What does that mean? | 18:03 |
| Troy^ | what themes can you use in unity? | 18:03 |
| deadmund | bekks: Are you sure? Maybe he can try adding a modeline using xrandr and cvt | 18:03 |
| bekks | *buying even. | 18:03 |
| _Marcus | bekks: Hah, no! This one cost enough already. I had no problem using this on Windows, I see no reason it shouldn't work on Ubuntu. | 18:04 |
| bekks | deadmund: I am pretty sure, yes. | 18:04 |
| Sander__ | does any1 have ndiswrapper on his ubuntu 12.04? or is it not even possible? | 18:04 |
| bekks | _Marcus: Because the driver does not support it. | 18:04 |
| obi | Troy: gtk3 | 18:04 |
| bekks | _Marcus: If you like to use that feature, you have to use Windows. | 18:04 |
| bekks | _Marcus: Or you have to try the opensource AMD drivers. | 18:04 |
| Kingsy | what is a good undelete tool for ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| deadmund | bekks: whoa whoa whoa | 18:04 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: I'm just curious. In the comand that you use (the one you shared with me here), what does the --nofork option mean? Is that an option telling gvimdiff not to use a third file for the merge but only the two that need merged? | 18:04 |
| bekks | Kingsy: "backup". | 18:05 |
| Kingsy | basically just looking to recover some files on a formatted drive | 18:05 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !undelete | Kingsy | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Kingsy: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 18:05 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: there is something we can try. What model card do you have? Please pastebin the output of sudo lspci -k so I can read it: paste.ubuntu.com | 18:05 |
| OpenbsdVbox | Kingsy: but nothing can beat a backup | 18:05 |
| Kingsy | hehe yeah | 18:05 |
| Jordan_U | Kingsy: "formatted" how? | 18:05 |
| Kingsy | OpenbsdVbox: do any of those have a GUI ? | 18:05 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: nah, by default gvim will fork into the background and free up the terminal. I don't want it to do that | 18:05 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Okay. I refuse to go back to an operating system that uses up almost 2 GB of memory on just normal startup (which would be Windows) | 18:05 |
| OpenbsdVbox | Kingsy: no idea, i've never used them | 18:06 |
| Sander__ | Does anyone have NIDSwrapper on his Ubuntu 12.04 or is it not possible anymore, I can't seem to get mine working. | 18:06 |
| CPCookieMan | Why would I be hanging at the purple screen on bootup? | 18:06 |
| Kingsy | Jordan_U: not sure at this point, it was done a MAC.. just seeing if I can recover any files for a friend | 18:06 |
| bekks | _Marcus: Then your only chance is to try the opensource drivers IF they do support your graphics card. | 18:06 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: well Id on't think you fully understand why it does that but Windows is lousy for other reasons. Answer my questions and make that pastebin | 18:06 |
| deadmund | bekks: wrong | 18:06 |
| BlackWool | how do i set default keyboard backlight level? Seems like it resets after shutdown -on MacBookPro Ubuntu 12.04. Anyone? | 18:06 |
| deadmund | bekks: He can try to set a new modeline in xrandr | 18:06 |
| bekks | deadmund: That wont make the virtual size magically larger. | 18:06 |
| tyhgvg | what else should 2GB ram be used? | 18:07 |
| bekks | Why should RAM not be used? | 18:07 |
| deadmund | bekks: the virtual size maybe be incorrectly probed | 18:07 |
| bekks | deadmund: point taken. | 18:07 |
| Kingsy | there must be a generic undelete application somewhere that attempts to recover lost files. I am sure I have used one, but I cant remember what it was | 18:07 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223017/ It seems a bit confusing in that paste, because I have both an AMD CPU and GPU. | 18:07 |
| deadmund | Sander__: I've gotten it working. What wifi card do you have? | 18:07 |
| bekks | Kingsy: No. There is no generic undelete application. | 18:07 |

| Kingsy | CPCookieMan: the drive I am trying to recover is Fat32 | 18:10 |

| Kingsy | CPCookieMan: yeah, it would be nice to use an application that has a GUI tho | 18:10 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: FYI, there are two drivers you can use. The open source one called 'radon' and the closed source one called 'fglrx' right now you're using fglrx | 18:11 |
| truexfan81 | CPCookieMan: if you boot to a cd or usb can you access the drive? if yes, i suggest backing up whatever you can from it | 18:11 |

| CPCookieMan | If possible I'd like to get it back running without a CD | 18:12 |

| deadmund | _Marcus: That's the problem. | 18:13 |
| tenX | CPCookieMan: hw errors. try dd_rescue | 18:13 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: So is this a problem with xorg? Because like I said, it works on Windows. | 18:13 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: the card won't do it (regardless of driver). I think bekks was right about needed a different card | 18:13 |
| tenX | CPCookieMan: and i'd use a cd | 18:13 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: Well, we can try to set a lower resolution over two monitors | 18:13 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: But it will make everything larger. Do you understand? | 18:13 |
| CPCookieMan | tenX: Not really an option, this laptop has a broken DVD drive and won't boot from the external ones | 18:13 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: What kind of card would give you three DVI ports, 1 VGA port, and an HDMI port, and expect you to not use 2 monitors? | 18:14 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: alright let's try here... I've never done 2 monitors but I can do large resolutions no problem | 18:14 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: This doesn't seem to make sense. Why is this only happening when I use Gnome Desktop? | 18:15 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: Can you show me the output of xrandr | 18:15 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: How do I do that? | 18:15 |
| Troy^ | arg unity is frustrating trying to use it over xfce | 18:15 |

| ClientAlive | I'll just try the variations till it works :) | 18:16 |

| killer | is there a download manager that has feattures comparable to idm? | 18:17 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Yes. | 18:17 |

| ccallahan | (Ubuntu 12.04) I am having issues running the AMD video drivers on a FireGL V5250. I installed the drivers per http://askubuntu.com/questions/162831/ubuntu-12-04-radeon-hd-6670-help and in lspci it's clearly shown that Linux detects the card. (http://sprunge.us/NGIe). Any ideas why Catalyst won't detect them? | 18:18 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: ... | 18:18 |
| jrib | eheirwer: ##english, not here | 18:18 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: that's the solution | 18:19 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !ot | eheirwer | 18:19 |
| ubottu | eheirwer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:19 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Actually, no. I can't do 1900 x 600 and 800 x 600 | 18:19 |
| eheirwer | ccallahan, just use the opensource drivers. Those are much better | 18:19 |
| ccallahan | Linky? | 18:19 |
| JeanS | how can i clear the command history used in a bash? | 18:19 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: I think the best resolution you can get is 1280x800 | 18:19 |
| Kingsy | isnt there any data recovery tools that have a GUI? | 18:19 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: But why? | 18:19 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: Because your card has a limit of 2560x1600. So if you want two monitors you can put 1/2 of 2560 on each monitor | 18:20 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: I know you showed me that page, and it said it could be only so big, but I don't believe that inside Windows 7 is some wizard who makes AMD cards work with two 1900 x 600 monitors magically. | 18:20 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: that's 1280 | 18:20 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: I think windows is automatically changing your resolution down to 1280 | 18:21 |
| llutz | JeanS: "history -c" "help history" for more info | 18:21 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: It doesn't look like it. | 18:21 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: Well maybe you can check. Also, that wizard is typically referred to as the windows proprietary driver which often does magic. | 18:21 |
| ccallahan | JeanS: rm -Rrf ~/.bash_history | 18:21 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: Maybe you can check the actual resolution instead of eye-balling it. | 18:22 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Then isn't it xorg's fault? | 18:22 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: I guess? I mean, the card lists a max resolution on that website and you're explicitly asking to break that limit. I would blame amd / radeon for showing a max resolution that is actually a lie and better resolutions can be achieved on different OS's | 18:23 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: But, to be clear. I think that you're mistaken and on windows the resolution is changed when you selected 2 monitors | 18:24 |
| ezioa | i'm just trying to get a simple test of grep working here ... ls | grep '.\{6\}' ... i was hoping that this would print files of only 6 characters in length but it only prints them all | 18:24 |
| Sander__ | deadmund its not my wifi that is the problem, its the installing of NDISwrapper itself :P | 18:24 |
| nsudo | OpenbsdVbox I have updated my Kernel still the device is not listed sound | 18:24 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Would that mean Ubuntu is changing it as well? Because it the resolution looks the same on both operating systems. | 18:25 |
| Sander__ | and my usb networkcard is on the "working"list | 18:25 |
| deadmund | Sander__: Sounds like the same issue to me. I ask because it's often much easier to use drivers besides ndiswrapper. Also, I'm not 100% sure your card is supported by ndiswrapper. | 18:25 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: I mean. I think that the resolution is being changed on windows when you turn on 2 monitors. My understanding is you haven't been able to turn on two monitors in Ubuntu. And no, I don't think it's changing the resolution at any point without notifying you (windows might be doing so when you turn on the 2nd monitor) | 18:26 |
| _Marcus | deadmund: Do you think any difference could be made if I switched to the open source driver instead of fglrx? | 18:26 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: 802.11g WPA2 PSK | 18:26 |
| deadmund | _Marcus: I think that the max resolution is 2560 and you can't break it regardless of what driver you use. | 18:26 |
| OpenbsdVbox | nsudo: i've never had an issue with sound, what are the specs of your machine? | 18:26 |
| deadmund | Sander__: That's not the wifi card. That's your encryption scheme. To see the chipset (the card) run sudo lspci -k -C Network | 18:27 |
| llutz | ezioa: ls | grep -o -w '\w\{6\}' | 18:27 |

| gunarm1 | i was trying to fix my wifi drivers by following some instructions and ended up (i think on a development branch) of the kernel, when I get to the login screen on a terminal it says "Ubuntu quantal (devleopment branch)" everything is screwed up, my gdb background is different, the battery icon in my toolbar is too big to fit in its allotted space, and worst of all my desktop manager won't run anymore so none of my windows have boarders. | 18:52 |
| gunarm1 | Any suggestions on how to fix this? | 18:52 |
| dandedilia | Hello | 18:52 |
| praveen_ | wikee-nilee: This is a fresh 12.04 installation | 18:52 |
| bekks | gunarm1: Now, you have installed the next release of Ubuntu, 12.10 - to get back to 12.04, you have to reinstall your Ubuntu. | 18:52 |

| OpenbsdVbox | !mac | Evdb | 18:53 |
| ubottu | Evdb: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 18:53 |
| gunarm1 | bekks, did that happen because I added these "quantal" sources in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 18:54 |
| Evdb | yeah but I can't find ANY solution | 18:54 |
| wilee-nilee | praveen_, Is the HD it is on being read first in the bios, was this a auto install or did you use the something else option and know which mbr grub was put in, last was this a install from windows=wubi? | 18:54 |
| Evdb | but can someon ehelp me determining what to do? | 18:54 |

| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | praveen_ | 18:55 |
| ubottu | praveen_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:55 |

| vessou | obi, this one: Aspire one D270-268bb | 18:55 |
| praveen_ | wilee-nilee: The grub is the one that comes with 12.04 LTS | 18:55 |
| gunarm1 | OpenbsdVbox, it was an accident, trying despeartly to update my wireless drivers | 18:55 |
| bekks | gunarm1: So which wireless chipset do you have very exactly? | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | praveen_, Check the nomodeset option, use the shift key to show the grub menu at powering on if this OS is the only install on the HD. | 18:56 |
| obi | praveen_ your mbr is probably set to boot from usb, instead of main hard drive. I actually went through this last week during a fresh install | 18:56 |
| vessou | obi, this one: Aspire one D270-268bb | 18:56 |

| deadmund | Evdb: Just ask your question and anybody that knows will help | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | obi, Don't assume please. | 18:56 |
| deadmund | Sander__: can you be more specific? | 18:56 |
| OerHeks | nsudo, did you follow this howto ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 18:56 |
| vessou | Evdb, download edubuntu. | 18:56 |
| Evdb | I already did | 18:56 |
| vessou | obi, this one: Aspire one D270-268bb | 18:57 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: I don't know for what.inf and .sys file I have to look | 18:57 |
| Evdb | yeah but it's about an error | 18:57 |
| Evdb | not about hwich version | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | nsudo, and this one > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 18:57 |
| praveen_ | Let me check that. | 18:57 |
| Evdb | my bootable usb give kernel panic on my macbook | 18:57 |
| obi | wilee-nilee: don't assume what? i will just not respond to whatever you are referring to then, no problem | 18:57 |
| bekks | Evdb: Why dont you use a cdrom for installing Ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| Sander__ | [20:48] <deadmund> Sander__: make sure you have the .inf and the .sys file (that make up the driver) put them in the same folder. Then point ndisgtk to the .sys file (I think) | 18:57 |
| Evdb | hat failed miserably | 18:57 |
| Evdb | I've waisted 3 DVDs | 18:57 |
| deadmund | Sander__: Those are the driver files. ndiswrapper uses the windows driver in linux. It is a wrapper (hence the name) You need to find the windows driver for your USB wifi thingy and pull out the .inf and .sys file and get them on the target machine | 18:57 |
| Evdb | USB goes a litlle better than DVD | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | obi, A black screen with a blinking cursor would not happen under your scenario. | 18:58 |
| Evdb | but still Kernel panic | 18:58 |
| bekks | Evdb: I am not talking about the dvd version. :) | 18:58 |
| Evdb | you mean I should use a 700 mb cd? | 18:58 |
| gunarm1 | bekks, atheros ar9485, and it has this problem that people talk about in both ubuntu and windows where it drops connection every few minutes, for ubuntu it was suggested to install compat-wireless, but the link was out of date (the compat-wireless didn't support my newer kernel) but I thought it was the other way around and my kernel was too old so I tried to update the kernel (which I thought failed), then downloaded a newer compat wirele | 18:58 |
| gunarm1 | ss, which worked (well i'm not convinced it was fixed), then an apt-get upgrade and two reboots later and my computer goes haywire | 18:58 |
| obi | wilee-nilee: it did | 18:58 |
| vessou | i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? | 18:58 |
| Evdb | bekks: you mean I should try a normal CD? | 18:59 |
| obi | wilee-nilee: changed the mbr (which was set to sda2 (usb)) to sda (main hard drive). Have a nice day | 18:59 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: i think i found them, net8192su.inf and rtl8192su.sys, they where in my cd>drivers>winxp | 18:59 |
| bekks | gunarm1: You didnt mention the fact that you either modified your sources.list to use quantal instead of precise OR you didnt mention the fact that you used do-release-upgrade to upgrade to quantal. | 18:59 |
| deadmund | Sander__: that's it | 18:59 |
| wilee-nilee | praveen_, I have top get to writing some papers for a universiy course, your problem sounds easily fixable, others will help. | 18:59 |
| vessou | i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? | 18:59 |
| bekks | gunarm1: However: To get back to 12.04, you have to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 | 18:59 |
| Evdb | bekks: should I use a CD? | 19:00 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: do i need the xp ones becouse i can also choose other versions | 19:00 |
| bekks | Evdb: For the CD version - sure. | 19:00 |
| OpenbsdVbox | obi: sda is the same device | 19:00 |
| gunarm1 | bekks, true, adding quantal into sources.list is how some link said to update the kernel (which I thought failed) | 19:00 |
| gunarm1 | but ok | 19:00 |
| Evdb | bekks: if i download the default it's not for DVD? only for CD? | 19:00 |
| vessou | i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? this passed on my Aspire one D270-268bb machine. | 19:00 |
| bekks | gunarm1: That does LOT more than just updating the kernel. | 19:00 |
| bekks | Evdb: Which file did you download very exactly? | 19:00 |
| obi | OpenbsdVbox: oops, sdb | 19:00 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: like 2000 win7x86 and x64 vista | 19:01 |

I would get a permission denied error. I see a section in the manual that talks about permissions but it's talking about something different. Do you know how to deal with that issue? How to sync files owned by root or with certain perms on them? | 19:01 |
| Evdb | bekks: ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:01 |

| zoktar | is there any file manager that has "gksudo" when trying to remove a file you dont have write permission to?. | 19:02 |
| Evdb | bekks: I'll try ;) | 19:02 |
| ClientAlive | vessou: I'm sorry that was a while back and I no longer have the profile that was causing it. I can try my question at a later date but I thought I'd just give it a shot now - to see if there was any useful tidbits that might help me. | 19:03 |
| OpenbsdVbox | zoktar: gksudo is a command | 19:03 |
| zoktar | well, a default elevation prompt of sorts then | 19:03 |
| Muelli | zoktar: I don't know. I'd be surprised. There is usually a good reason for you not to remove the file then. | 19:03 |
| OpenbsdVbox | zoktar: what file are you trying to remove and why? | 19:04 |
| obi | vessou: Not sure if this is right for your machine, but for me adding "options psmouse proto=imps" in a line at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (or any other file in that directory) fixed mine | 19:04 |
| guntbert_ | zoktar: what file? where? | 19:04 |
| zoktar | in my case its a remote directory that i have not found how to change mask to | 19:04 |
| praveen_ | obi: how can i check mbr? | 19:04 |
| Sander__ | deadmund: the two files are on my desktop, so what do I do now? I tried ndiswrapper -i driver.inf but then it says: the program 'ndiswrapper' is not installed | 19:04 |
| Muelli | zoktar: so you want to delete a remote file? Or change permission bits? | 19:05 |
| zoktar | a nfs4 share to be more precise | 19:05 |
| icat | hi all, a quick sound question: I swapped the hdd from one machine to another, hw should be identical and everything works, expect for the sound ... ubuntu finds no sound devices in the new box. how can i run reconfiguration? | 19:05 |
| obi | praveen_: sudo fdisk -l | 19:05 |
| zoktar | as a normal user i can delete files, but not directorys created | 19:06 |
| deadmund | Sander__: You need to install ndiswrapper which means you need an internet connection temporarily. Also, use ndisgtk (it's graphical) | 19:06 |
| Muelli | icat: that sounds odd. How do you know that ubuntu doesn't find "sound devices"? | 19:06 |
| deadmund | Sander__: I'm here, I'm working on something at the same time so feel free to ping me. | 19:06 |

| zoktar | Muelli, those created by the remote system within the shared directory | 19:11 |
| Muelli | zoktar: in order to be able to delete something in a directory, you need write permissions on it. So if you wanted to delete a directory in a directory, you'd need write permissions in that first directory. Do you have that? | 19:11 |
| vessou | obi, i do it , but no results. | 19:11 |
| obi | preveen_: Not installed? Did you simply try sudo apt-get install ms-sys (guessing) | 19:12 |

| goddard | how do i setup thundbird with ssl | 19:33 |
| Troy^ | what is the quick shortcut to switch between workspaces? | 19:33 |
| goddard | it isn't working | 19:33 |
| praveen_ | obi: It shows the available devices as cd drive, network boot and HDD. Yes, its a fresh install. | 19:33 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. What's your issue? | 19:33 |
| Muelli | goddard: how do you know? | 19:33 |
| vessou | exactly, Muelli. | 19:33 |
| TJ- | praveen_: If a fresh install only boots when the USB stick is plugged in, that tells us that the GRUB boot-loader was installed to the wrong device. That is relatively easy to fix | 19:33 |
| goddard | Muelli: how do i know what? it isn't working ? because it says its the wrong password | 19:33 |
| praveen_ | bekks Okay. | 19:33 |
| vessou | llutz,i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? this passed on my Aspire one D270-268bb machine. | 19:33 |
| cielak | Muelli: it fails to start on a fresh install, it says 'Screens found, but none has a usable configuration' | 19:33 |
| Muelli | goddard: so maybe you provided a wrong password then ;-) | 19:34 |
| praveen_ | TJ- How can I fix that? | 19:34 |
| shomon | goddard, look up the connection info from your email provider if there is any | 19:34 |
| Lator0066 | susi111 | 19:34 |
| Evdb | bekks: hey are you still here? | 19:34 |
| obi | praveen_: No, I mean when running sudo fdisk -l | 19:34 |
| ClientAlive | guntbert_ Right on. Well, I thought I had this unison thing right but stilll getting an error. I'll have to come back here later when I can work on it again. Anyhow, have a good one man. | 19:34 |
| shomon | or is it just google or something - in which case there should be a few guides | 19:34 |
| goddard | already did that still not working and the password is correct | 19:34 |
| goddard | shomon: cpanel shows me all the settings | 19:34 |
| shomon | is it sending email okay? | 19:34 |
| cielak | Muelli: It looks like the 'intel' driver finds no modes | 19:34 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. that doesn't sound too good. I think there used to be a "xserver-config" (or smth similar) program which would provide reasonable defaults. But I thought that it was obsolete nowadays. What machine do you have? | 19:34 |
| Muelli | vessou: hm. weird then. It's seriously weird. Maybe you have disabled some kernel modules? Could it be a hardware issue? | 19:35 |
| cielak | Muelli: that's a asus 1225c netbook | 19:35 |
| goddard | shomon: there is an ssl domain and a regular domain when doing testing the regular domain works perfectly with thunderbirds auto detect just not ssl which i have to enter manuall | 19:35 |
| Muelli | cielak: have you researched whether other people have trouble with it? | 19:35 |
| praveen_ | obi There is no menu.lst in the grub folder. | 19:35 |
| cielak | Muelli: yeah, and lot, and none of issues found are the one I experience | 19:36 |
| Evdb | bekks: hello? | 19:36 |
| shomon | I usually mess a bit with settings when setting that up.. usually some combination or other works.. | 19:36 |
| OpenbsdVbox | praveen_: menu'lst is for grub1 | 19:36 |
| vessou | Muelli, i do not no. it happened after upgrading ubuntu10.10 to ubuntu12.04. | 19:36 |
| TJ- | praveen_: If the system is started, identify the device-name of the hard disk and ensure GRUB's "/boot/grub/device.map" (if present) is set correctly, and do "sudo update-grub". Best thing is to check the devices first, then we can help you sort it out | 19:36 |
| Muelli | goddard: make sure you're using the correct ports. Thunderbird has a weird behaviour when making an account use SSL after the account was set up. It keeps the standard, non crypto ports as opposed to the crypto ports. | 19:36 |
| obi | praveen_: open a terminal and enter "sudo fdisk -l" and tell me what devices are shown | 19:36 |
| vessou | Muelli, i do not no. it happened after upgrading ubuntu10.10 to ubuntu12.04. | 19:36 |
| vessou | llutz,i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? this passed on my Aspire one D270-268bb machine. | 19:36 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. that's bad. Can you boot a pendrive or a CD? | 19:36 |
| Muelli | vessou: can you boot a pendrive and check whether your mouse works? | 19:37 |
| obi | praveen_: we are looking for your main partition /dev/sda(x) | 19:37 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: how did you upgrade? directly? or from release to release? | 19:37 |
| Muelli | vessou: what are you having anyway? Mouse? Touchpad? | 19:37 |
| praveen_ | obi Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ea18d Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 968949759 484473856 83 Linux /dev/sda2 | 19:37 |

| cielak | Muelli: only CLI systems, as X always fails to start - but I have a fully working CLI in the Ubuntu I have already installed | 19:37 |
| Troy^ | What is the unity shortcut keys to switch between workspaces? | 19:37 |
| Evdb | Any Mac Ubuntu people here?? | 19:37 |
| OpenbsdVbox | Troy^: hold down super to see the shortcuts | 19:38 |
| Muelli | so cielak: You cannot boot any Ubuntu? Not even a fresh one from a CD? | 19:38 |
| praveen_ | obi It shows sda, sda1, sda2, sda5, sdb | 19:38 |
| Evdb | Mac Ubuntu people? | 19:38 |
| guntbert_ | Evdb: just ask your rela question and prepare for patience :) | 19:38 |
| Muelli | Troy^: there is a settings menu that'll show you all shortcuts. Try Ctrl+Alt+Up | 19:38 |

| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, directly. with a usb key created | 19:38 |
| Evdb | I really really need help and I've been trying for 1 hour no to get help | 19:38 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: you likely broke your system then | 19:38 |
| cielak | Muelli: LiveCD gets stuck with a black screen and cursor blinking, both 12.04 and 12.10, I managed to install Ubuntu with alternate install image | 19:38 |
| Evdb | Have typed my problems 5 times now :( | 19:39 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Show us the result of this command: " egrep '\[sd[[:alpha:]]\] [[:digit:]]+' /var/log/dmesg " | 19:39 |
| Evdb | Before I explain again, are there Mac Ubuntu people here? | 19:39 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: you can't upgrade from 10.10 directly to 12.04, it isn't supported | 19:39 |
| vessou | Muelli, what is prenvide cd | 19:39 |
| gabrieluk | hi, what is correct sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi or sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid ? | 19:39 |
| obi | praveen_: which has the most blocks and what is listed under it's system | 19:39 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. that's very bad. If you cannot get a live cd running, chances are very bad anyway for the installed system to run properly. Can you try some other GNU/Linux like Fedora? | 19:40 |
| Muelli | !livecd | vessou | 19:40 |
| ubottu | vessou: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 19:40 |
| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, it proposed it me at installation. | 19:40 |
| Evdb | I get 'no prefix set' | 19:40 |
| Muelli | !usb | vessou or use USB | 19:40 |
| ubottu | vessou or use USB: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:40 |
| cielak | Muelli: I have tried some, but the problem persists, as all these distros have a common problem with Xorg | 19:40 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: you certian it was 10.10? | 19:40 |
| Evdb | Which thing should I select in rEFIt?? | 19:41 |
| no_gravity | What do you guys use to manage playlists? | 19:41 |
| cielak | Muelli: what is interesting, in some countries this very same machine ships with Ubuntu preinstalled | 19:41 |
| praveen_ | obi here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223219/ | 19:41 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. that's weird then. So which Fedora have you tried? | 19:41 |
| Evdb | Or should I just hold option key and choose 'windows' | 19:41 |
| Diane | Don't know how this works so.... My Lucid version on my laptop is totally messed up and I can't back up my files. If I reinstall will I get a chance to do so? | 19:41 |
| ampd | Evdb: usb hdd | 19:41 |
| Evdb | ampd: what do you mean? | 19:41 |
| cielak | Muelli: I am not sure the exact version, I had a USB drive with it I made few months ago | 19:41 |
| ampd | Evdb: nevermind, though you were talking about something else | 19:41 |
| cielak | may chech that | 19:42 |
| Evdb | nope | 19:42 |
| Evdb | But please someone... | 19:42 |
| ampd | Evdb: whats the issue? | 19:42 |
| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, exactly, i'm very certain. try. | 19:42 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223223/ | 19:42 |
| Evdb | ampd: I am trying to install Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro | 19:42 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: then it shouldn't have offered, it isn't supported | 19:42 |
| Evdb | I installed rEFIt | 19:42 |
| Evdb | tampd: I installed rEFIt | 19:42 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. It looks like a bigger problem anyway. You could file a bug against either linux or xserver-xorg. It probably wouldn't help much though. | 19:42 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: the only way to skip releases is from lts to lts | 19:42 |
| TJ- | praveen_: So, /dev/sda is the internal 500GB hard-drive where you installed Ubuntu to, and /dev/sdb is a 8GB USB stick? | 19:42 |
| vessou | ubottu, i'm not a novice in usblive. | 19:42 |
| ubottu | vessou: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:42 |
| obi | praveen_: ok, enter sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda2 and restart | 19:43 |
| Muelli | cielak: can you pastebin sudo lspi -vv ? | 19:43 |
| Evdb | ampd: I first burnt a DVD, that didn't work at all | 19:43 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Yes. thats right | 19:43 |
| Evdb | ampd: then bekks here said I should burn a CD | 19:43 |
| ampd | Evdb: to install ubuntu with refit? | 19:43 |
| Evdb | I can start it up but get a 'prefix not set' | 19:43 |
| Evdb | ampd: ye | 19:43 |
| Evdb | ampd: I can select try without installing but I get black screen with the cursor | 19:44 |
| cielak | Muelli: I have always found Xord devs *very* unrespondive :( I will in a sec (need to move the data from the other machine, I am now writhing from another Ubuntu on another machine - and no 'sudo' needed as my netbook is running only in recovery mode) :) | 19:44 |
| ampd | Evdb: hmm, i used refit a few years ago, let me see what i can find out | 19:44 |
| vessou | llutz,i just upgraded my ubuntu 12.04, and it lost mouse support. can someone help me please? this passed on my Aspire one D270-268bb machine. | 19:44 |
| Evdb | ampd: I really need to get this working for school :s | 19:44 |
| praveen_ | obi I get this message. "/dev/sda2 seems to be a disk partition device, use the switch -f to force writing of a master boot record". Should I force to do it? | 19:44 |
| Muelli | vessou: what are you having anyway? Mouse? Touchpad? | 19:44 |
| Muelli | vessou: can you boot a pendrive and check whether your mouse works? | 19:44 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: you need to reinstall fresh | 19:44 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Run this command and tell us if it gives you a strange-looking line with dots and the word "GRUB" in it? " sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C | grep GRUB " | 19:44 |
| TJ- | praveen_: E.g. something like this: 00000180 7d e8 2e 00 cd 18 eb fe 47 52 55 42 20 00 47 65 |}.......GRUB .Ge| | 19:45 |
| obi | praveen_: yes, that is the same message I got when I did this last week and i proceeded | 19:45 |
| Diane | LINUX LUCID RUINED....CAN'T BACK UP FILES~~CAN I DO SO WHILE REINSTALLING? | 19:45 |
| vessou | Muelli, mouse! | 19:45 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !caps | Diane | 19:45 |
| ubottu | Diane: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 19:45 |
| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, what's fresh? | 19:45 |
| obi | praveen_: I know this problem/solution only from my experience, not from knowledge lol | 19:45 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: fresh install | 19:45 |
| Diane | sorry | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | Diane: boot from your install media, do "Try Ubuntu without installing", back up anything you want to keep, then run the installer | 19:46 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: a new install | 19:46 |
| praveen_ | TJ- I get the following output. | 19:46 |
| praveen_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223232/ | 19:46 |
| TJ- | praveen_: obi Installing GRUB to a partition is *not* a good idea... It needs to be installed to the disk's MBR to be bootable from BIOS | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | Diane: also, try and install /home on a separate partition to save this nonsense next time | 19:46 |
| Diane | it won't let me and says I don't have permission to view file in home folder | 19:46 |
| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, help me. hw can i remove and install it? | 19:46 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Okay | 19:46 |
| Evdb | bekks: you already back? | 19:46 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Thank-you. The lack of output confirms that GRUB is *not* installed to the hard drive. Now let's do the same test on the USB stick just to be sure we knw where it is... | 19:47 |
| gordonjcp | Diane: you probably need to do it as root | 19:47 |
| obi | TJ-: Ok, you take over :) Peace praveen_: | 19:47 |
| bekks | Evdb: I wasnt away. | 19:47 |
| TJ- | praveen_: " sudo dd if=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C | grep GRUB " | 19:47 |
| Evdb | bekks: oh okay | 19:47 |
| ampd | Evdb: you're getting it before refit or during ubuntu bot? | 19:47 |
| ampd | *boot | 19:47 |
| OpenbsdVbox | !install | vessou | 19:47 |
| ubottu | vessou: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 19:47 |
| Evdb | bekks: during boot | 19:47 |
| Evdb | bekks: i choose the penguin in refit | 19:47 |
| praveen_ | TJ- I get that expected output in USB | 19:47 |
| Evdb | bekks: i get eroor prefix not set, I can choose try without installing but then the black screen and cursor appear | 19:48 |
| cielak | Muelli: do have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223237/ | 19:48 |
| Diane | Gordon-- do it as root?? | 19:48 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Good. That confirms what I had assumed. Now we'll sort things out... Give me a moment whilst I check the procedure locally so I give you the correct advice | 19:48 |
| Evdb | ampd: i get eroor prefix not set, I can choose try without installing but then the black screen and cursor appear | 19:48 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Okay. | 19:48 |
| Muelli | hm cielak. So integrated Atom graphics. I think I have that, too. | 19:48 |
| Evdb | bekks: i tried buring on CD but I still have major problems | 19:49 |
| cielak | Muelli: exactly | 19:49 |
| Muelli | cielak: can you also paste your recent Xorg.0.log? | 19:49 |
| cielak | Muelli: sure! I guess this log is actually more interesting | 19:49 |
| bekks | Evdb: Does that CD boot on another computer? | 19:49 |
| Evdb | bekks: no idea actually | 19:50 |
| TJ- | praveen_: "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" | 19:50 |
| cielak | Muelli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223242/ | 19:50 |
| vessou | OpenbsdVbox, what's the fresh goal? hw can i use fresh? | 19:50 |
| cielak | Muelli: of course the ending has most tips | 19:51 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: you need to reinstall | 19:51 |
| OpenbsdVbox | vessou: a new install | 19:51 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Completed that command. Shall I reboot and check? | 19:51 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Now check you can see GRUB in the master boot record. We'll read it again: " sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C | grep GRUB " | 19:51 |
| Muelli | cielak: are you trying to boot with a second monitor attached? | 19:51 |
| cielak | Muelli: nope... unless a second screen is hidden within the netbook, lol :) | 19:52 |
| vessou | ok , i understand. | 19:52 |
| === lux_ is now known as Guest55146 | ||
| === aoooox is now known as Szadek | ||
| praveen_ | TJ- Yes, Now I get the "GRUB" (expected output) with that command. | 19:52 |
| Muelli | cielak: hm. do you know how to edit the boot parameters for Linux from GRUB? You could try to fiddle with the modeset argument. | 19:52 |
| Unname | hi | 19:52 |
| Muelli | cielak: again, sorry, what machine do you have/ | 19:53 |
| Unname | i have an ubuntu client successfuly connected to an openwrt openvpn server | 19:53 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Go ahead and reboot. Remove the USB (obviously!) ... I think you'll be OK but I'll wait around to hear | 19:53 |
| Unname | but i cannot ping it | 19:53 |
| cielak | Muelli: yeah, I am familiar with these tricks... any ideas what parameters are worth trying? | 19:53 |
| cielak | Muelli: that's a asus 1225c | 19:53 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Okay. | 19:53 |
| Muelli | cielak: and well, just to double check, you don't have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, right? | 19:54 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Now that works!!! | 19:55 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Thanks a lot... Your great!!! | 19:55 |
| cielak | Muelli: I am trying both without a xorg.conf and both with a simple config in there, but there is no difference in result | 19:55 |
| praveen_ | obi: Thanks for your help! | 19:56 |
| Evdb | ampd: found anything? | 19:56 |
| ccallahan | I have a Type 2007 Lenovo ThinkPad T60p running a AMD Mobility FireGL V5250. I tried installing the fglrx drivers, but amdconfig says it can't detect anything. I am running Ubuntu 12.04. (lspci: http://sprunge.us/NGIe) (fglrxinfo output: http://sprunge.us/XXbN) | 19:56 |
| Evdb | bekks: will reinstalling refit work? | 19:56 |
| Evdb | And why using refit if you can boot from cd holding option key? | 19:56 |
| Muelli | cielak: does the driver, gma500_gfx show up in lsmod? | 19:57 |
| TJ- | praveen_: Glad you're sorted | 19:57 |
| ampd | Evdb: as far as i can tell its an ubuntu issue and not refit | 19:57 |
| e4g | Anyone know of a simple utility to help setup multi-boot systems (multi-linux systems, no windows/mac)? | 19:57 |
| cielak | Muelli: yup, it does | 19:57 |
| OpenbsdVbox | ccallahan: why not use the open source drivers? | 19:57 |
| ampd | Evdb: can you try reinstalling ubuntu? | 19:57 |
| Evdb | ampd: I haven,'t installed it yet | 19:57 |
| Muelli | hm. so cielak, I would try to boot twice, once with "gma500_gfx.modeset=1" and once with =0. Make sure to preserve the logs. | 19:57 |
| ccallahan | I am trying to run Star Trek Online, and the shaders are fubar using the out-of-the-box drivers. | 19:58 |
| cielak | Muelli: okay, I will try that | 19:58 |
| Muelli | cielak: maybe a dmesg would also be interesting. Maybe the driver reported somethign | 19:58 |
| praveen_ | TJ- I am new to linux and trying to learn a lot day by day... | 19:58 |
| obi | praveen_: I wasn't much help, but sure :) | 19:58 |
| xangua | e4g: i use this http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ | 19:58 |
| ampd | Evdb: so you're getting the error after you click on linux in refit? | 19:58 |
| OpenbsdVbox | ccallahan: well fglrx probably doesn't support your old card anymore | 19:58 |
| TJ- | praveen_: You'll soon be a maestro! | 19:58 |
| ampd | Evdb: and you don't have ubuntu installed? | 19:58 |
| praveen_ | TJ- Thank you... | 19:58 |
| cielak | Muelli: indeed, I forgot to check dmesg for tips... :) | 19:58 |
| Evdb | ampd: yeah, I get different options, tried them all aznd I don't yet have Ubuntu | 19:59 |
| ccallahan | Is there anything else I can use besides the out-of-the-box drivers? | 19:59 |
| Evdb | amps: can't get it to work | 19:59 |
| ccallahan | OpenbsdVbox: ^ | 19:59 |
| Evdb | ampd: *can't get it to worjk | 19:59 |
| OpenbsdVbox | ccallahan: no idea, i'm rather happy with the open source ones | 19:59 |
| Muelli | cielak: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ | 19:59 |
| ampd | Evdb: are you trying to install 64bit? | 19:59 |
| Evdb | ampd: yeah | 19:59 |
| Evdb | ampd: intel processor | 20:00 |
| e4g | xangua: English version of that site? | 20:00 |
| xangua | e4g: the google translate toolbar is right up there | 20:00 |
| cielak | Muelli: yup, I have found that page too, but the trick is that I already am on 12.10, my kernel is 3.5, so that all should work automagically. Testing modeset=1 | 20:00 |
| OpenbsdVbox | cielak: 12.10 support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:01 |
| ampd | Evdb: according to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1945850 the 32 bit version may work | 20:01 |
| Evdb | ampd: can try it yeah, pretty lmuch lost my fate by now but I'll try | 20:03 |
| Evdb | ampd: my last hope | 20:03 |
| Evdb | ampd: or I should try installing an earlier version | 20:03 |
| ampd | Evdb: i dont think that would help | 20:03 |
| cielak | Muelli: modeset=1 is a good trail. after starting X it hung for a minute or two, then I was greeted with a full-screen nautilus in 320x240, yeah! :) but at least that's something to start with | 20:03 |
| Muelli | \o | 20:03 |
| Muelli | \o/ | 20:03 |
| Evdb | ampd: I'll go burn 32-bit now, will stick around here in the progress | 20:04 |
| ampd | Evdb: the other (probably better) at this point option would be just to use virtualbox in osx | 20:04 |
| cielak | Muelli: huge thanks for your time! :) | 20:04 |
| Muelli | cielak: does dmesg say anything interesting? | 20:04 |
| Evdb | ampd: yeah but the teachers want it to run native :/ | 20:04 |
| cielak | Muelli: hadn't yet chance to check, I was unable to reach any TTY | 20:04 |
| ampd | Evdb: what are you doing that it would matter? | 20:05 |
| ampd | Evdb: if you dont mind me asking | 20:05 |
| Evdb | ampd: I just started studying applied informatics (literally translated lol something IT with programming and stuff) and we are gonna explore Ubuntu | 20:06 |
| hvq | hi, is it possible to swap ctrl+c and ctrl+shift+c function in terminal? | 20:06 |
| Evdb | ampd: my teachers think it's a great OS, and we are gonna do scripting and what not | 20:06 |
| Ileden | Problem: My netbook loses it's WLAN capability after a random amount of time. It still sees all the networks, and tries to connect to them, but fails (promprts for authentication key). This does happen in the middle of using the WLAN. A reboot always fixes the issue. This does not happen in Win7 (dualboot). Attaching a different WLAN device does connect. This only started to do this after 12.04 update. Any idea how to debug this? | 20:06 |
| Muelli | hvq: probably. But that'd be very very awkward. Having Ctrl+C *not* seding SIGINT would be *very* unsual. | 20:07 |
| Muelli | Ileden: see "dmesg" output. Or the logs in /var/log/ | 20:07 |
| ampd | Evdb: even more reason to use virtualization, so you don't screw anything important up. but i guess its up to the teacher. Let me know how 32-bit works. I'd also just use a USB stick so you dont have to burn all these cds | 20:07 |
| cielak | Muelli: actually.. it says something very interesting - it says that I used an incorrect parameter for 'gma500_gfx.modeset'... but I will let it complain, just managed to see unity, so this must be working! | 20:07 |
| hvq | Muelli: ok. another question: is there anyway to assign a shortcut to move the current window to the left and make it maxheight and halfwidth | 20:07 |
| jrib | hvq: maybe with wmctrl | 20:08 |
| Muelli | hvq: yes. There is a shortcut menu that will list you all of the shortcut. Somewhere in system settings. Try Super+Left. | 20:08 |

| hvq | Muelli: sorry but I think I didnt find the right one. What I need is to make a window appear on the left hand side of the screen, it has maximum height and the width is exactly half of screen width | 20:14 |

| bonno | so what should i do if i want all of the program's files out? | 20:23 |
| kunji | bonno: umm, hmm, yeah that happens sometimes, you're probably fine to just manually delete them, but I couldn't say for sure without knowing more. They were probably created by the package/program when it ran, rather than installed by apt. | 20:23 |

| kunji | AV? | 20:28 |
| TJ- | Ileden: darn! probably a different cause then, unless there's a systemic issue with the recent Atheros code! | 20:28 |
| Acromartsu | Av = AntiVirus | 20:28 |
| bonno | so there isnt anything else except deleting them manually on my own.. :P | 20:28 |
| Acromartsu | kunji, AV => Anti Virus | 20:28 |
| dr_willis | Acromartsu: avg had A live cd on thir homepage at one time | 20:28 |
| guntbert_ | Acromartsu: why do you ask when you know it is off topic in a support channel? | 20:28 |
| kunji | Pretty much any live cd should be fine, no? Though there's probably specialized ones. | 20:29 |
| kunji | If you wanted you could go with one of the forensics ones | 20:29 |
| dr_willis | there are. but av software really should be kept up to date. | 20:29 |
| Acromartsu | guntbert, because I cannot find any irc channels that answer my question(s), nor a webpage that is sufficiently informative. There's a BackTrack irc for instance, but nobody is active in there... | 20:29 |
| Acromartsu | and guntbert, because this is the Ubuntu channel, which is still Linux-related and I know it's populated | 20:30 |
| kunji | dr_willis: yeah, I would just make a live USB on demand for something like that I think | 20:30 |
| guntbert_ | Acromartsu: it is still off topic here - you can try to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:30 |
| dr_willis | you can install av software to ram from a cd. ot use a live usb | 20:30 |
| bekks | Acromartsu: I havent heard of linux viruses in the wild yet. | 20:30 |

| DJRWolf | dr_willis minecraft | 21:43 |
| dr_willis | DJRWolf: as a test try a very minimal window maanger, and just a wm, to see if it still does it.. if it dosent, then that would point to some unity/gnome3 setting | 21:43 |

| dr_willis | if it does it in icewm for example, that would point to a X setting/issue | 21:43 |
| trism | Jagst3r15: I imagine, I don't really use software-center, the version numbers match the page you link though | 21:43 |
| DJRWolf | dr_willis it happens in unity ubuntu and lubuntu's LXDE | 21:43 |
| Jagst3r15 | brb | 21:44 |
| dr_willis | try it in wmx, or icewm , if it does it in those. that would point to some odd X/kernel/settings issue | 21:44 |

| dr_willis | anyone else think we need some sort of 'tagging' system to apt so we can find things easier. | 22:51 |
| notroot | I've googled around for an hour or so trying to find the solution to this problem: Ubuntu Server install doesn't have an option to do full disk encryption using aes-xts-plain, it seems that manual configuration is only possible through the Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD. Is there a way to install Ubuntu Desktop then remove all the GUI elements? | 22:52 |

| muellisoft | notroot: sure. You can apt-get install ubuntu-server and apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop and afterwards all the unnecessary packages should be gone. But I don't know right now how smart the dependecy tracking really is. | 22:54 |

| Petaz | that cant be true | 22:55 |
| notroot | Muelli: Is there a way to install Server but set up encryption ahead of time? | 22:55 |
| Mr_Queue | ^^ Through the installer. | 22:56 |
| Petaz | so what is the new compiz? | 22:56 |
| AmarokNelg | Instead of compiz, try kwin? | 22:56 |
| notroot | Mr_Queue: the installer doesn't allow aes-xts-* as algorithms | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | New Compiz? | 22:56 |
| notroot | only aes-cbc-* and serpent | 22:57 |
| racsminilaptop_ | new compiz? | 22:57 |
| Mr_Queue | notroot: put any thought into why that algorithm isn't supported in an installer written by the best minds of both the Debian and Ubuntu teams? | 22:57 |
| Mr_Queue | You're likely doing it wrong. | 22:57 |
| Muelli | notroot: hm. well. you could probably attempt the install but set up your crypto container manually before you select the partition to install to. But that already sounds like getting hairy. | 22:58 |
| Muelli | notroot: other than that: I don't know. | 22:58 |
| racsminilaptop_ | dr_willis... thanks for your support... but .. no body answer in compiz channel... any other suggestion.. pleasea and thanks | 22:58 |
| dr_willis | racsminilaptop_: i dont even know what your original problem is. | 22:58 |
| Mr_Queue | lulz | 22:59 |
| AmarokNelg | I dont know eather | 22:59 |
| Mr_Queue | Started at power on, lets go from there. | 22:59 |
| notroot | Mr_Queue: It's not directly supported in Desktop edition either (you have to do it manually) but it's a better algorithm. Why they haven't updated it or allow something similar for Server is beyond me. | 22:59 |
| Mr_Queue | There are reasons. Have you came up with a reason it's needed? Other than to just do it? | 23:00 |
| racsminilaptop_ | dr_willis : my problem is that I cant activate any effect on my minilaptop... I installed compiz, original drivers and The effects doesnt work.. | 23:00 |
| AmarokNelg | try kwin instead of compiz | 23:00 |
| notroot | Mr_Queue: Yes, because XTS is faster and more secure than CBC | 23:00 |
| === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap | ||
| Foyle | quit | 23:01 |
| Mr_Queue | I mean everyone starts somewhere, but if you're asking for support getting an encryption algorithm outside of the installer, I think you're going to run into much bigger problems down the road. | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | racsminilaptop_: last time i saw someone in here fighting with that.. they were running Unity-2d instead of 3d.. | 23:01 |
| notroot | I can do it on Desktop with no problems, but that's because there's a LiveCD of the Desktop edition. Is there a LiveCD of Server somewhere? I haven't been able to find one | 23:02 |
| Muelli | well notroot. You might be able to let the server install set up the container and just after it's finished reconfigure the container and make the installation use that (without it knowing about it). | 23:02 |
| Mr_Queue | Perhaps there are key binaries in the repos which are not, or can not be compiled to support what you're after. | 23:02 |
| Mr_Queue | encryption is suppose to be secure, not fast. | 23:02 |
| notroot | Muelli: reconfiguring the container would require decrypting and then reencrypting. It's possible, but likely to screw up in some way | 23:02 |
| * Muelli nods | 23:03 | |
| racsminilaptop_ | dr_ willis: how do I install 3d... I am using ubuntu 2d | 23:03 |
| racsminilaptop_ | at the beginning of the session | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | racsminilaptop_: if you are using 2d that explains your whole issue. | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | notroot: i believe the text installers have MORE options then the LiveCD, not less. and there is no server livecd. | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | You select Unity, not unity2d at the login screen. racsminilaptop_ | 23:03 |
| Dragonriot | MonkeyDust: tried that... even tried formatting it with NTFS... but the RAID5 setup just restores the drive each time... Im working on getting into the Raid Controller now, downloading the CD for the server | 23:03 |
| Muelli | nah, I'd rather meant to kinda interrupt the installation process, like not advancing just after the container was set up. I don't know the process but I imagine the installer having a separate step for setting up the container. So after that, you could maybe reconfigure the thing. And no data has been copied yet. | 23:04 |
| racsminilaptop_ | OK... i will try now. | 23:06 |
| racsminilaptop_ | thanks. | 23:06 |
| YanGM | hello | 23:06 |
| notroot | well the way you do it on Desktop is boot the live CD, manually configure the partitions, install, chroot into the new install, set the new install to work with the encrypted container and update the initrd | 23:06 |
| notroot | but the server has no option to do that because there's no live CD | 23:06 |
| YanGM | I want to connect a server to a switch, with more than one ethernet cable | 23:07 |
| notroot | I suppose I could just install Desktop and remove the GUI, but that's a pain in the ass | 23:07 |
| YanGM | what I need to do | 23:07 |
| kyconquers | I am wanting to get into remote files systems. Is there a application I should look at first? | 23:08 |
| Danno_ | can someone tell me why after installing updates the "system settings" option has disappeared from the programs menu? | 23:08 |
| blackshirt | yangm, you can connect it | 23:08 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest9987 | ||
| blackshirt | danno_ you have upgraded to unity desktop .. I think | 23:09 |
| Muelli | notroot: well, you could Ctrl+Alt+F2 | 23:09 |
| Danno_ | im on Lubuntu and im using the default lxde desktop, if that helps | 23:09 |
| YanGM | blackshirt: http://i.imgur.com/yQ4sn.png | 23:09 |
| notroot | Muelli: ? | 23:09 |
| Muelli | so it is indeed a "live CD" but w/o an X server... | 23:09 |
| Muelli | notroot: press Ctrl+Alt+F2 or so when you've booted up the server installation medium. | 23:10 |
| blackshirt | danno_ usually system settings menu was part of gnome | 23:10 |
| raido_ | anyone here have a problem with xfce loading slowly after running updates | 23:11 |
| blackshirt | yangm, i'm sit on handheld devices, and can't look at your link given | 23:11 |
| racsminilaptop | dr_willis> works!!!! now works!... wow! finaly the answer | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | racsminilaptop: so for the last 2+ hrs.. you have been trying to get effects going . in the desktop that is designed to not have effects? | 23:12 |
| YanGM | blackshirt: I want to connect a internet server (firewall+cache) with 4 or 8 gigabit cables to a switch | 23:13 |
| racsminilaptop | yes!.. what an embarrasing situation... thanks for this IRC!.. thanks dr_willis.... | 23:14 |
| YanGM | so all clients will have sufficient bandwidth | 23:14 |
| LazerChicken | Hi i just installed ubuntu for the second time and upon inital startup it works fine ... then once i restart my video card stops working and i have to plug into the onboard one ... idk how to install my videocard drivers and it isnt telling me i need to any help? | 23:14 |
| javierf_ | Hi! I've got problems with wireless connection in ubuntu 12.04. My network has WPA protection. Every second day ubuntu can't connect to the new if I don't restart the router | 23:15 |
| racsminilaptop | I am so glad.... thanks.. bye bye | 23:16 |
| twitchie | LazerChicken: what video card do you have? | 23:17 |
| LazerChicken | raedon hd 6450 | 23:17 |
| Danno_ | does lubuntu have any kind of on-screen keyboard for use with touchscreens? | 23:18 |
| === luke-jr_ is now known as Guest67107 | ||
| twitchie | LazerChicken: have you installed the proprietary driver from the additional drivers section? | 23:19 |
| LazerChicken | It only tells me to install all the nvidia drivers that are to my onboard card | 23:19 |
| notroot | well looks like this is gonna be a challenge. best option so far looks to be decrypting and then reencrypting, which is gonna be a PITA | 23:19 |
| === Guest67107 is now known as cpcp | ||
| notroot | or maybe there's a way to just download the server and build an install from the ground up | 23:20 |
| notroot | btw, the goal is a minimalistic install for use with virtualization software | 23:20 |
| notroot | all i want is a linux setup capable of running virtualbox or vmware | 23:20 |
| LazerChicken | i think upon inital install it actually had the option to install the raedon drivers but i restarted and now it isnt seeing it | 23:20 |
| Muelli | notroot: what about switching the tty with ctrl+alt+f2 during installation with the server CD? | 23:21 |
| notroot | right now the install is running in a qemu virtual environment so I can install to an image file, and ctrl-alt-f2 is captured by the host not the guest | 23:22 |
| twitchie | LazerChicken: what's the driver output from this command- lshw -c video | 23:22 |
| Muelli | notroot: you can send key strokes thruogh qemu | 23:22 |
| notroot | how?, even in full screen the host is capturing ctrl-alt-f2 | 23:23 |
| LazerChicken | twitch: copy and paste the results here? | 23:23 |
| LazerChicken | its talking about my onboard | 23:23 |
| Muelli | notroot: depending on how you started it. If didn't specify a monitor, it'll be on ctrl+alt+2 | 23:23 |
| Muelli | notroot: when in QEMU monitor, you can "sendkeys ctrl+alt+f2" or so | 23:24 |

| Danno_ | is there an on-screen keyboard built into Lubuntu or do i need to install a 3rd party program for this? | 23:29 |
| LazerChicken | all i know is when i did the install i could see thru my correct card ... restart then all i get is choppy screen untill i plug into the other port | 23:29 |
| LazerChicken | is there a place to go to look at my connected hardware so i can see it it even recognizes it? | 23:31 |

| twitchie | LazerChicken: well I find it strange that the ATI card is not listed in your lshw and additional drivers is no longer showing you the option to download the drivers for the card. I would firstly just make sure the card is seated in the slot 100% and if that still doesn't work disbale your onboard video in bios | 23:45 |
| LazerChicken | if i disable the onboard and then it still doesnt work how will i see anyting then to turn the onboard back on lol also idk how to disable the onboard | 23:46 |
| twitchie | I would just check to make sure the card is seated right first | 23:50 |
| LazerChicken | yes.. i just took it out and put it back it .. all seems well there | 23:51 |
| AmarokNelg | Why did they remove unicrome and ati rage 128 from mesa3d driver? | 23:52 |
| twitchie | still not showing up ubuntu? | 23:52 |
| LazerChicken | no :( in the additional drivers still only ones for my onboard ... | 23:52 |
| LazerChicken | im going to reboot with the card in and ill brb | 23:53 |
| hellslinger | Does anyone know how to get cedarview-drm to work with hardware acceleration and glx? Video acceleration appears to work, but glxgears uses 100% cpu | 23:54 |
| AmarokNelg | I dont see anything wrong with it taking 100% cpu | 23:54 |
| AmarokNelg | it has to process the gears, doesn't it? | 23:54 |
| hellslinger | according to the intel pdf on the cedarview driver, glxgears should use less than ~2% | 23:55 |
| AmarokNelg | Id like to see your document | 23:55 |
| AmarokNelg | how much fps do you get? | 23:56 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/enabling_hardware_accelerated_playback_ubuntu_12.pdf | 23:56 |
| hellslinger | I get ~140 fps | 23:57 |
| AmarokNelg | thats not bad | 23:57 |
| hellslinger | Everything else about it works great, but if I can get glx to work faster, I'd love to use desktop effects in KDE | 23:58 |
