| LazerChicken | twitchie: ok so ive found that if i reboot with the card in it pushes the video through it ... but its glitchy flashes and i cant simply just plug into the onboard .. in order to see correctly i have to pull it out and reboot | 00:00 |
| nosetto | 3.14159 | 00:00 |
| AmarokNelg | ugh, if desktop effects works with low fps, how could it not work with a 140 fps? | 00:00 |
| AmarokNelg | ive got a computer that uses 60 fps, and runs smooth on neverball, and works great with desktop affects | 00:01 |
| === michael is now known as Guest58950 | ||
| LazerChicken | so i am now setting with the card out on my desk ...can we pretend im trying to use it for the 1st time .. what is the prosedure? | 00:01 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: I believe that GLX is running, but the rendering is happeing through software | 00:01 |
| hellslinger | Even a very old and basic opengl hardware card can do better than 140fps on glxgears | 00:02 |
| AmarokNelg | Oh btw, i didn't see anything about cpu on the document you gave me | 00:02 |
| hellslinger | look at page 10 | 00:02 |
| hellslinger | sorry, page 13 | 00:02 |
| hellslinger | "maximum cpu..." | 00:03 |
| AmarokNelg | yeah, then the document is wrong, cause even i get 100% cpu taken on a non-accelerated system | 00:05 |
| twitchie | LazerChicken: personally I would disable onboard and just run with the pci-e card if something goes wrong you can always reset you bios back to default via the switch/jumper on your motherboard | 00:05 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: I don't. I have an old laptop with i915 graphics that doesn't use more than 2% cpu | 00:07 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: What GPU do you have? | 00:07 |
| AmarokNelg | GPU? | 00:08 |
| hellslinger | yeah, what video card do you have? | 00:08 |
| AmarokNelg | oh | 00:08 |
| AmarokNelg | Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF | 00:09 |
| hellslinger | wow, that's an oooollldd card | 00:09 |
| hellslinger | what cpu do you have? | 00:10 |
| AmarokNelg | it had 3d acceleration... untill it resently got on the "Deprecated Systems and Drivers" list | 00:10 |
| hellslinger | that's at least a 10 year old card | 00:10 |
| AmarokNelg | i have an old computer too | 00:10 |
| AmarokNelg | cpu is only 1.6 GB of speed | 00:10 |
| AmarokNelg | Infact, it used to be pretty fast | 00:11 |
| hellslinger | what cpu is it? | 00:11 |
| AmarokNelg | Idk | 00:11 |
| hellslinger | k6-II 266 MHz? :) | 00:11 |
| AmarokNelg | All i know thats its 1.6 GB of speed | 00:11 |
| hellslinger | yeah you could probably upgrade that card for 10 dollars and get 3D acceleration back | 00:12 |
| AmarokNelg | ?????? | 00:12 |
| AmarokNelg | how? | 00:12 |
| hellslinger | well if it is a PCI or AGP card, you could buy a replacement ATI HD series or NVidia 5xxx/6xxx PCI/AGP off ebay (old and used, of course) | 00:13 |
| hellslinger | for 10 or 20 dollars total cost | 00:13 |
| AmarokNelg | I also have a diamond card. Want me to use that? It only is 640x480 instead of 1280x1024!! | 00:13 |
| hellslinger | Diamond? wow that is really really old. That's probably a TNT/TNT2 | 00:14 |
| AmarokNelg | altho, its missing... | 00:14 |
| hellslinger | That will not work on a modern linux system with good support | 00:14 |
| hellslinger | is your system a desktop? | 00:14 |
| AmarokNelg | yes :P | 00:15 |
| hellslinger | You could probably buy an entire new system for < $100 That was much much faster and had a supported video driver | 00:16 |
| AmarokNelg | Oh your kidding. Why the heck would i do that | 00:17 |
| AmarokNelg | After i fixed this system up | 00:17 |
| goddard | whats the thunderbird chat like? | 00:17 |
| goddard | anyone using it | 00:17 |
| blackshirt | amaroklng, is your graphic card support for 3d? | 00:18 |
| AmarokNelg | Used to be | 00:18 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: Have it your way... But if you want supported 3D you'll have to get something that is less than 8 years old | 00:18 |
| AmarokNelg | ts on the deprecated list now | 00:18 |
| AmarokNelg | In 10 years from now, im sure id be using the old mesa drivers | 00:19 |
| hellslinger | I tried to get ubuntu 10 running with a GeForce 4400 ti and the drivers were no longer supported by the latest Xorg | 00:19 |
| hellslinger | and that card is only about 7 years old | 00:19 |
| AmarokNelg | infact, i should downgrade so this ill work right | 00:19 |
| blackshirt | amaroknelg, if your graphic was not capable to run 3d .... | 00:19 |
| AmarokNelg | blackshirt: :| | 00:20 |
| AmarokNelg | Ok ill be installin the old drivers | 00:20 |
| hellslinger | AmarokNelg: let me know if they work, I'm interested to see... | 00:20 |
| blackshirt | i think maybe better you stick with the suite one...i mean the old one... | 00:21 |
| AmarokNelg | unfortunly, to keep from upgrading th drivers automaticly (removing the gl support), ill have to pin it in synaptic | 00:23 |
| AmarokNelg | it would be fun if i could edit debian packages, that would make my life alot easyer on computers | 00:24 |
| blackshirt | amaroknelg,tehbically you can do it | 00:25 |
| AmarokNelg | really? | 00:25 |
| xorgnak | theyre always the cancerous growth. | 00:25 |
| blackshirt | tehnically | 00:25 |
| === usuario__ is now known as assafasfasfasf | ||
| AmarokNelg | i should know how | 00:26 |

| blackshirt | amaroknelg, what do you want to edit ?? Some meta data or bianry one? | 00:26 |
| blackshirt | amaroknelg, thats a great step | 00:27 |
| blackshirt | if you want to change binary, you sohould recompile it from sources | 00:27 |
| AmarokNelg | making a different package name... Like libgl1-mesa-dri-old | 00:28 |
| AmarokNelg | and the description for older videocard support or somethin lkie that | 00:28 |
| rileyp | question about vlc how is the tracklist order selected to play from a dir I thought it would work off the track number in the metadata? | 00:29 |
| tortib | Hello everyone | 00:32 |
| AmarokNelg | i cant downgrade my driver. It would remove X and its drivers | 00:32 |
| tortib | how can I see which packages I have installed? more specifically which driver version of the ATI drivers i'm running. | 00:32 |
| blackshirt | amaroknelg, you should learn related to debian packaging | 00:32 |
| AmarokNelg | driver version of the ATI drivers - really? check lspci | 00:32 |
| tortib | that doesn't tell me the driver version | 00:33 |
| blackshirt | amaroknelg, downgrade was not recommended | 00:33 |
| AmarokNelg | Oh | 00:33 |
| AmarokNelg | Srry | 00:33 |
| tortib | yeah... | 00:33 |

| AmarokNelg | thats if you have ati rage 128 | 00:34 |
| tortib | yeah I don't have an xserver command | 00:34 |

| tortib | dpkg -l was the answer | 00:37 |
| defaultro | i finished installing the latest ubuntu. The internet is very slow | 00:37 |
| defaultro | i need to open terminal, where do I do it? | 00:37 |
| tortib | to show my what packages i have installed on my system | 00:37 |
| tortib | thanks for the help anyways | 00:37 |
| tortib | toodles | 00:37 |
| L3top | dpkg -l will not tell you the kernel in use TorpedoSkyline | 00:37 |
| L3top | tortib | 00:37 |
| TorpedoSkyline | lol L3top | 00:38 |
| L3top | and no... he would not want nor could he use that driver... sorry TorpedoSkyline autocomplete | 00:38 |
| L3top | he burned out | 00:38 |
| |Anthony| | what is happening regarding consolekit and udev having been merged into systemd? | 00:39 |
| TorpedoSkyline | no problem L3top =) | 00:39 |
| defaultro | hey folks, how do I open terminal? | 00:40 |
| javierf_ | hi! In ubuntu 12.04 unity, if I open the dash, it opens but it's transparent, what make difficult to see all the icons with their names. In all the applications I know to configure that (MyUnity, Ubuntu Tweak) it is set to 0% opacity, but that's not what actually happens. I've been googling the bug, but nothing about it. Someone knows how to fix that? Thanks a lot! | 00:40 |
| |Anthony| | defaultro, open the dash and type terminal. it should come up in there | 00:41 |
| TreaverHoerig | Can someone do me a quick favor. | 00:42 |
| L3top | not without more information TreaverHoerig :P | 00:43 |
| TreaverHoerig | L3top are you on Ubuntu 12.04 | 00:43 |
| L3top | I am on a lot of things. | 00:43 |
| L3top | I can get to an ubu precise if need be. | 00:44 |
| defaultro | ah, i have to type it :) trying it now | 00:44 |
| defaultro | what's the deefault root password | 00:44 |
| L3top | !root | 00:44 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:44 |
| L3top | There is no spoon. | 00:45 |
| TreaverHoerig | Is anyone here on Ubuntu 12.04 I need a few files from the Icons folder if someone could help. | 00:45 |
| mmediaman | Can anyone here answer a question about Adobe Flash Player Plugin? | 00:45 |
| L3top | !anyone | 00:45 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 00:45 |
| IdleOne | TreaverHoerig: why not boot a live cd a copy what you need | 00:46 |
| mmediaman | Why does Adobe Flash Plugin not seem to work in FireFox on Ununtu 12.04. The symptom is just a black screen for all Flash windows. | 00:46 |
| TreaverHoerig | Can someone go to : /usr/share/icons and copy the Humanity folder, ubuntu-mono-dark, ubuntu-mono-light. Then upload them to dropbox or something. | 00:47 |
| toafan | My KDE install doesn't seem to have Alt+Space enabled by default, and after some poking around I still can't seem to find how to enable it. Any ideas? | 00:47 |
| * n0sq wishes that they'd make mail servers easier to use | 00:48 | |
| toafan | mmediaman: is it Firefox-only, or does flash work in other browsers? | 00:49 |
| L3top | TreaverHoerig: dpkg -L is your friend. Find the package the images are associated with, and download the package. .deb packages are simply ar compressed. you can extract their contents and do as you wish with them. | 00:49 |
| TreaverHoerig | L3top Idk how to do that. I just copied over the files trying to follow instructions to change the icons | 00:49 |
| TreaverHoerig | But it was for 12.10 and I didn't realize it | 00:50 |
| defaultro | something is wrong. I was able to acquire ip address from my wifi. However, it cannot ping it. | 00:50 |
| mmediaman | I haven't tried Flash from another browser, only FF that came with Ubuntu install. | 00:50 |
| L3top | mmediaman: how did you install flash? | 00:50 |
| toafan | mmediaman: what kind of system are you on? I've got a box with the same symptom, but flash just doesn't work at all on that machine | 00:50 |
| mmediaman | Software Center and also tried using Flash-Aid | 00:51 |
| defaultro | LTS ubuntu during install saw my access point. It was able to acquire ip. netstat -rn shows the route and default gateway. HOwever, it cannot ping it :( | 00:51 |
| mmediaman | Machine is Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. | 00:51 |
| AmarokNelg | bb | 00:51 |
| TreaverHoerig | Can someone please help me out and get me those 3 folders. | 00:52 |
| defaultro | pinging is also very intermittent, it responds with destination host unreachable and later it would respond | 00:52 |
| defaultro | something is wrong with the network driver :( | 00:52 |
| mmediaman | Strange thing also is that when I visit adobe.com to download Flash, there is no DOWNLOAD button anywhere to be found. | 00:52 |

| L3top | tortib: I don't think you do... I am fairly versed in gpu drivers... my guess is that there is another conflict causing the problem, and an older fglrx will only make things worse. Radeon is the open source version of the driver. | 01:07 |
| tortib | The open source version wont work | 01:07 |
| tortib | I use this machine for bitcoin mining if you know what that is | 01:07 |

| tortib | why wont moving to an older version not help, it was working before I upgraded. | 01:09 |
| tortib | sure | 01:09 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: I forget what the commandline name of jockey is, but you'd want to open a terminal and try `sudo <jockey>` | 01:09 |
| bennypr0fane | different issue: I want to switch desktop environment. I'm on Bodhi Linux, which is basically Ubuntu 12.04 with Enlightenment desktop. Now I installed Unity, but how can I make my pc always boot into a Unity session? | 01:10 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan, jockey with the <> around it? | 01:10 |
| xorgnak | why dont you just install ubuntu and then install the packages you need from Bhodi? | 01:11 |
| bennypr0fane | bcs I wanted to do it the other way round | 01:11 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: no, I forget what command goes there. by <jockey> I mean 'find out what the actuall command to run jockey is and put that there' | 01:11 |
| bennypr0fane | what does it matter | 01:11 |
| crougier | I am having issues recovering my windows boot screen. IN Easy BCD i set the time to 0 thinking I could use grub. Not the case with grub 3. Is there a way to get it back without using a windows recovery disk because I have a net book. Generating grub.cfg ... Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 Skipping Windows 7 (loader) on Wubi system Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-gen | 01:11 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: well, on my system I just log into the DE I want, and it remembers what I used so it uses it next time. But Bohdi may have a different login screen/gretter | 01:12 |
| excervo | hello guys, how do i restore google chrome to its default setting? I'm using 12.4 | 01:12 |
| toafan | excervo: how clean do you want it? eg, you want to keep bookmarks? | 01:13 |
| bennypr0fane | right now I have LXDM autologin enabled how would I turn it off? | 01:13 |
| excervo | toafan, i want to clear up bookmarks too | 01:13 |
| snwh | excervo, go to ~/.config and delete the google-chrome folder | 01:14 |
| snwh | easy-peasy | 01:14 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan: hah, it's jockey-gtk! | 01:15 |
| === jason is now known as Guest38858 | ||
| toafan | bennypr0fane: ah, I was thinking gtk-jockey. Did it work? | 01:15 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan: jockey-gtk. Driver is now active but wireless card still not available. why doesn't jockey just ask me for my pwd though? | 01:17 |
| excervo | snwh, where is ./config located? | 01:17 |
| bennypr0fane | do I need to reboot maybe? | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | bennypr0fane, You might like to know that there is a #bodhilinux channel if needed. | 01:17 |
| bennypr0fane | I do know | 01:17 |
| bennypr0fane | thanks | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 01:17 |
| toafan | excervo: it's a hidden folder. if you're in a terminal, just cd .config | 01:18 |
| bennypr0fane | but this is more of an issue related to my godawful wifi card | 01:18 |
| lawltoad | Hi, I want to run a home server on which I can manage a folder hierarchy | 01:18 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: yeah, a reboot is probably neccesary | 01:18 |
| bennypr0fane | it'd be just the same, be it in Bodhi or Ubuntu | 01:18 |
| jrib | lawltoad: go on... | 01:19 |
| excervo | toafan, i only found chromium inside /.config folder not google-chrome | 01:19 |
| garthk | Ok, to summarise: if you run XenServer and Ubuntu and use apt-get dist-upgrade, it's quite probable you'll trash your VM's ability to boot. The process to recover is not well documented, and might well require preparation in advance of the problem, leaving you up shit creek if you didn't know about the problem before trying to apply them security patches. | 01:19 |
| blackshirt | laltoad, what you mean with home server? | 01:19 |
| lawltoad | sorry, more specifically, i want to beable to open up a web browser, point it to my IP, and then upload and dowload folders from that directory | 01:19 |
| bennypr0fane | actually, I've gone through this whole thing already in Lubuntu, except Wifi started working once I installed the STA driver | 01:19 |
| garthk | Example work-around which isn't working for me: http://randomlinuxnotes.wordpress.com/tag/grub2/ | 01:20 |
| bennypr0fane | will try reboot - brb thanks toafan! | 01:20 |
| garthk | Google search showing a) I'm not the only person running into this, b) it's been around for a while, and c) no easy solution: | 01:20 |
| toafan | excervo: well, try that? how did you install chrome? | 01:20 |
| snwh | excervo, in your home folder if you push ALT+H to show the hidden dot folders | 01:20 |
| === coinandable is now known as koinandable | ||
| miraj | lawltoad , apache would work | 01:21 |
| garthk | Google search showing a) I'm not the only person running into this, b) it's been around for a while, and c) no easy solution: https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+xen+%22unknown+directive+load_video%22 | 01:21 |
| excervo | toafan it's loaded with it since i installed 12.4 | 01:21 |
| Cell | Did ubuntu have a generic kernel update recently? | 01:22 |
| goddard | yA | 01:22 |
| toafan | excervo: installed by default, then? You've got Chromium, so the .config/chromium folder is what you're after | 01:22 |
| Cell | ok good | 01:22 |
| Cell | does the ubuntu package manager/software center perform verification (mdsums or gpg) on downloaded software/updates before it applies them? | 01:23 |
| excervo | guys thanks for prompt response, it worked like a charm | 01:23 |
| goddard | Cell: yeah | 01:23 |
| lawltoad | miraj, Well I was looking for some package with the webinterface, security managemnt and all already | 01:24 |
| lawltoad | not a roll your own, I'm pretty shitty with that stuff | 01:24 |
| blackshirt | cell, every packages has been signed... | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Cell, If you are missing a gpg it should tell you from an apt-get anyway | 01:24 |
| blackshirt | cell,if you try to dowload from untrusted source,apt would warn you | 01:25 |
| garthk | Will trade help for newbies if anyone can help solve my can't-boot-because-of-pygrub problem. | 01:25 |
| blackshirt | !info pygrub | 01:25 |
| ubottu | Package pygrub does not exist in precise | 01:25 |
| miraj | lawltoad, if you're using a web browser with ftp browsing support (like mozilla) then vsftpd is easy enough to config | 01:26 |
| blackshirt | garthk,what is pygrub? | 01:26 |
| excervo | garthk, have you tried grub-repair? | 01:26 |
| Cell | Thanks | 01:26 |
| toafan | lawltoad: I've heard of OwnCloud, might be worth looking into? | 01:27 |
| garthk | ubottu blackshirt excervo I installed Precise under XenServer 5.6. I applied a kernel update. Seems that shoved stuff into the grub conf that XenServer's boot loader can't cope with. So, now my host is hosed. I can't even boot into single user mode to try grub-repair etc. | 01:27 |
| ubottu | garthk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:27 |
| toafan | garthk: can you acess the FS? if not, you're pretty much out of luck | 01:27 |
| L3top | garthk: chroot the install | 01:28 |
| L3top | garthk: from live boot | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | garthk, Have you taken a look here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenProposed | 01:28 |
| lawltoad | toafan, looks delicious | 01:28 |
| excervo | I mean boot-repair, my bad | 01:28 |
| lawltoad | toafan, ITS IN THE REPOS | 01:28 |
| lawltoad | --sorry caps | 01:29 |
| toafan | anyone know how to bind Alt-Space to the window menu (or operations menu?) in KDE/KWin? | 01:29 |
| garthk | Ok, trying live boot per L3top. | 01:29 |
| defaultro | what could be my ubuntu doing? it's bringing down my wireless connections? | 01:33 |
| defaultro | i turned it off and everything is stable now | 01:33 |
| blackshirt | defaultro, can you describe more detail? | 01:33 |
| miraj | defaultro; it's own? or everyone else's ? | 01:33 |
| defaultro | i installed LTS about an hour ago. It was able to acquire ip but wasn't able to go to the internet. routing table looks good using netstat -rn | 01:34 |
| defaultro | then, my kids went to me and all of them asked "is the internet down" LOL | 01:35 |
| garthk | Oh, FFS. I can't boot into single-user mode from the DVD because I don't get the opportunity to hit any keys to control the way it boots. | 01:35 |
| garthk | Hmm. Maybe -- will help. | 01:35 |
| miraj | defaultro; so it's bringing down everyone else's connections? | 01:35 |
| defaultro | the wifi on my ubuntu is very intermittent | 01:36 |
| blackshirt | defaultro, ya can connect to some wifi connection available,but can't go to browse? | 01:36 |
| garthk | /bin/bash not found… kernel panic! | 01:36 |
| blackshirt | defaultro,is your dns setup correctly? | 01:36 |
| blackshirt | garthk,look bad | 01:36 |
| L3top | garthk: some things should be mounted prior to attempting chroot... but yeah... that looks bad. | 01:37 |
| L3top | garthk: I assumed you mounted the install... can you browse it? | 01:38 |
| garthk | Oh, poo. That's on ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso… is that also a live combo DVD? Might need ubuntu-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso. | 01:38 |
| Smaxie | Hi guuys. Im not a noive by any means, but I just picked up a used Dell D630 Latitude notebook today for cheap. I threw ubuntu on it, and normall broadcom and such is easy to get going. But apparently not this one. It was picked up on first boot but it needed a fiirmware package from Jockey, so I inastalled that, and now the device doesnt show under netwqorkmanager or iwconfig | 01:38 |
| Smaxie | If someone could help me out that would be great. It appears it's a Broadcom STA card, according to Jockey. The name in windows device manager cbrands it dell, which is of no usew | 01:39 |
| bennypr0fane | my unity desktop is broken. It loads just an empty wall paper. there is a reaction to rightclick and keyboard input, but nothing to click | 01:39 |
| garthk | L3top, I can boot the Ubuntu install process but not pop a shell so I can repair the existing install. | 01:39 |
| tortib | L3top: how can i set my main desktop and login manager to XFCE4? | 01:40 |
| garthk | I can rebuild this node quickly because I use Puppet. If I do, though, I'm worried that on the very next kernel patch I'll end up back in this situation again, with Ubuntu shoving stuff into the grub config file that Xen can't cope with. | 01:40 |
| WXZ | why doesn't super+n invert virtualbox? | 01:40 |
| Smaxie | Iver also trie4d install b43-fwcutter, but that did nothing | 01:40 |
| tortib | or if someone else can answer that question that would be great | 01:40 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan the new wlan driver is working now though! | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Smaxie, I would assume the actual card might help, does this command show it. lspci | grep Broadcom | 01:41 |
| garthk | With this live DVD download predicted to take an absurd 8h, though, I guess reinstall-from-scratch is my best option. | 01:41 |
| Smaxie | ya it does | 01:41 |
| Smaxie | \ | 01:41 |
| L3top | tortib: check /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 01:41 |
| Smaxie | one sec | 01:41 |
| jagginess | tortib, if it's installed, then logout and choose the 'gear icon' | 01:41 |
| garthk | And, figuring out what an unbeatable grub conf looks like, and setting up Nagios to warn me if the box looks unbootable. | 01:41 |
| miraj | garthk; there's no law saying you must update your kernel every time there's a new patch available | 01:41 |
| L3top | garthk: you are in a dangerous position. Are you able to successfully mount the suspect drive/ | 01:42 |
| tortib | jagginess: where is this 'gear' icon? | 01:42 |
| L3top | ? | 01:42 |
| tortib | i'm on 11.10 | 01:42 |
| Smaxie | Its a BCM411 | 01:42 |
| bennypr0fane | tortib what happens when you boot? don't you get to choose a desktop? | 01:42 |
| Smaxie | Broacom 802.11/b/g | 01:42 |
| tortib | i have auto login set for one of my accounts | 01:42 |
| jagginess | tortib, select username, then click the gear icon beside your name.. | 01:42 |
| tortib | it logs into gdm automatically | 01:42 |
| tortib | i don't want to have to do that every time though | 01:42 |
| Smaxie | I have the wifi switch to on, btw | 01:42 |
| garthk | L3top: if this node is toast, I just blow its keys and rebuild with Puppet. It'll take about 15min. I'm trying to figure out the recovery, though, in case next time I'm dealing with a node with important data. | 01:42 |
| jagginess | tortib, ok, so whatever option you have under gdm.. if its not there then a link wasnt made for it (and you may need to make one manually, somewhere in /usr/share) | 01:43 |
| L3top | tortib: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 01:43 |
| garthk | miraj: No. Nor is there a law that says that my host should survive any reboot, let alone one after a kernel update. It'd make my work easier, though. | 01:43 |
| L3top | garthk: I cannot answer your questions unless you answer mine. | 01:44 |
| bennypr0fane | btw I loaded enlightenment now. at login I get default, Ubuntu, Enlightenment, Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D. Yes Ubuntu is there twice, and Ubuntu2D doesn't let me log in | 01:44 |
| L3top | garthk: Can you MOUNT the drive | 01:44 |
| garthk | "Ubuntu: a great server OS as long as you don't mind never applying security updates in case your node doesn't wake up again" doesn't make that awesome a slogan, though. :) (Unfair: it's the Xen+Ubuntu combination that's making this hard.) | 01:44 |
| L3top | tortib: adjust the file as necessary | 01:44 |
| miraj | garthk, so try centos | 01:45 |
| llaskin | hi, i seem to get a bunch of "firefox <defunct>" processes showing up in my PS list. Is there anyone who give me a reason to why these are appearing(and taking up memory)? They seem to be dead ghost firefox processes. Or perhaps a way to kill them all every 5 minutes(all defunct firefox processes) | 01:45 |
| garthk | L3top, I repeat: I have no bootable anything from which I can pop a shell and then mount anything. So, I can't answer your questions. Once I download this live image, then I can get a shell. Until then, I'm somewhat stuck. | 01:45 |
| L3top | garthk: A bazillion newbs manage to update security without destroying their systems... don't make this an assault on the OS... it will not bode well. | 01:45 |
| garthk | miraj: "Ubuntu! If at first you don't succeed, well, try CentOS." isn't that good either. | 01:45 |
| L3top | garthk: I am asking... in a live cd... can you mount the drive | 01:46 |
| Smaxie | will_i_am: ive tried some stuff ive found on the forums and such, but im not finding anyuthiung that works | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Smaxie, with that card and ubuntu only about 4 pages of google hits and only two with 12.04, not all on that card even. | 01:46 |
| garthk | L3top, I assure you I'll let you know once I finish downloading this live DVD. | 01:46 |
| WXZ | how can I invert the colors for virtualbox? | 01:46 |
| Smaxie | weilits the sta driver | 01:46 |
| Smaxie | not b43 | 01:46 |
| L3top | garthk: I want to help you fix this... you are making me less motivated to do so. | 01:46 |
| Smaxie | aCCORDING TO THE WIKI PAGE | 01:46 |
| L3top | Ubuntu has its faults... security updates isn't one of them | 01:47 |
| Smaxie | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:47 |
| miraj | garthk, can xen write-protect it's bootsector etc? | 01:47 |
| L3top | if it were... there would be more than 1500 users in here with your issue | 01:47 |
| garthk | (If there are any Xen experts who can figure out another cheat to wake this box up without waiting for this Live DVD download, then I can get right on to the boot repair stuff L3top might be able to help me with. It sounds like a whole lot more fun than this step.) | 01:47 |
| L3top | Dial it down a notch. | 01:47 |
| garthk | miraj: fun idea. Not sure. | 01:48 |
| toafan | fighting with KDE/KWin over Alt-Space and gnome-terminal. Anyone? | 01:48 |
| L3top | blaming the OS which does not befuddle newbs is not likely the best way to attract those bees garthk. | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Smaxie, is it BCM411 or BCM4311 thos are diffrent cards I believe. | 01:48 |
| tortib | L3top: nah xfce4 didn't fix it, it's shitty drivers | 01:48 |
| Smaxie | bcm4311 | 01:48 |
| Smaxie | it uses sta | 01:48 |
| Smaxie | im following guide on wiki | 01:49 |
| Gary_inNYC | I see that a generic pae kernel is being pushed in Update Manager. Should I skip this for an older computer that isn't pae ? | 01:49 |
| Smaxie | just to make sure i didnt miss something | 01:49 |
| bennypr0fane | never smart to bash the os in its own irc channel :-D | 01:49 |
| bennypr0fane | so, not looking good for my empty desktop tonight I guess... | 01:50 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: sorry, must've missed that -- what's up again? | 01:51 |
| baguzzzaji | hello, can i have ubuntu without windows manager? | 01:51 |
| Smaxie | wilee-nilee: hmm, i followed the directions, modprobed the cvarious mopdulkes, nothing | 01:53 |
| Smaxie | gonna try a reboot | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | baguzzzaji, Look at login managers here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Adding_a_Window_Manager | 01:53 |
| miraj | garthk; perhaps if you split your installation into two drives, one for xen and the other for ubuntu, then hardware write-protected the xen drive | 01:54 |
| Smaxie | man this sucks, i really hope i can get this thing working | 01:54 |
| toafan | baguzzzaji: what, like just TTYs and no graphics? In theory, yes. | 01:54 |
| llaskin | is there any way to kill all processes that have <defunct> in their process listing at once? | 01:55 |
| baguzzzaji | toafan, yes, i mean that way. | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Smaxie, It seemed you said you had wifi until you added firmware, is this true and did you have it on the live cd? | 01:55 |
| Smaxie | i didnt use live cd, and no i never had wifi, but before I added that thing in jockey, networkmanager would aatleast notice there was a wifi adapter bgut it would be greyed out and said "need firmware" or whatever | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Ah | 01:57 |
| toafan | baguzzzaji: there _used_ to be an ubuntu-minimal install CD, that'd do that. I heard a rumor that it was going away, but I don't know. Alternatly, you could hack bootup scripts and/or uninstall all graphical software includeing X itself. | 01:57 |
| Smaxie | I just got a Dell latitude business class laptop, with 4GB of ram core2duo 2.13 and other goodies for only 80 bucks, i was hoping top replace my brown thinkpad and run linux | 01:58 |
| Smaxie | but if ubuntu is struggling, it doesnt dobe well for opther distros | 01:58 |
| garthk | Partial solution to getting node alive: use 'xe-edit-bootloader -n hostname -p 1' on Xen console to remove 'submenu' definition. | 01:58 |
| Smaxie | s/broken/brown' | 01:58 |
| Smaxie | :( | 01:59 |
| OerHeks | Smaxie, if firmware is missing > sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer ( and reboot) | 01:59 |
| garthk | I'm now in a maintenance mode shell with /dev/xvda2 mounted… where'd xvda1 go? Hmm. | 02:00 |
| Smaxie | i tried that, but this card downt use that firmware anyway | 02:00 |
| toafan | Smaxie: have you rebooted since installing firmware/drivers? | 02:00 |
| defaultro | I rebooted my access point while ubuntu was off, the network has been up for 5 mins now without any issues | 02:00 |
| Smaxie | wiki says install bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:00 |
| defaultro | i'm doing a continiuous ping | 02:00 |
| Smaxie | ive rebooted a bunch of timesd, along with mod probing | 02:00 |
| Smaxie | the wiki says this all... | 02:00 |
| Smaxie | .me doesnt come to irc beforew reading wikis and such | 02:01 |
| L3top | #ubuntu wears on the soul. | 02:01 |
| OerHeks | wiki says that cord is both STA and B43.. it is B43 | 02:01 |

| Zachster1996 | i am having trouble with ubuntu | 02:14 |
| esteban320 | wilee-nilee how can I proceed :=s | 02:14 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: can you pop over to a TTY and look for processes with `compiz` or `unity`? Eg in top, htop? | 02:14 |
| bennypr0fane | Smaxie only those 2, wifi and bt? all not blocked? | 02:15 |
| Smaxie | must be something stupid, but its reeally driving me nuts | 02:15 |
| Smaxie | bennypr0fane: yup | 02:15 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: of course, or you wouldn't be here. What's up? | 02:15 |
| Smaxie | im typing from another pc, so i cant copy and paSTE, BUT THATS IT | 02:15 |
| Zachster1996 | i have ubuntu server 12.04.1 and the stats at the bottom keep appearing over and over when i connect via ssh | 02:15 |
| bennypr0fane | Smaxie so you tried both drivers, proprietary one and free? | 02:15 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan I forgot what tty is | 02:16 |
| === Guest73183 is now known as uw | ||
| esteban320 | wilee-nilee can someone help me? I haven't got graphical system in ubuntu 12 04 logged as user, but yes booting as root user | 02:16 |
| === Gostin is now known as Ecchi | ||
| Zachster1996 | i have ubuntu server 12.04.1 and the stats at the bottom keep appearing over and over when i connect via ssh | 02:16 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: TTY is a hardware terminal. In this case, you want to hit Ctrl-Alt-f1 | 02:16 |
| Smaxie | UHH, YA I GUESS. WASNT AWARE THERE WAS A FREE AND NON-FREE. | 02:17 |
| Smaxie | woops | 02:17 |
| Smaxie | sorry bout that | 02:17 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: it'll drop you at a text prompt | 02:17 |
| Smaxie | what the STA one from jockey for? i was under the impression you wouldnt need anything else besides that | 02:17 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: I've never used Ubuntu server. What kind of stats? | 02:17 |
| bennypr0fane | Smaxie that card can be really weird | 02:18 |
| Zachster1996 | the system stats that appear at the bottom | 02:18 |
| Smaxie | but now im seeing sta, b43/firmware-b64-installer and bcmwl-firmware or whatever | 02:18 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: and importantly, do they only show up along the bottom line, or do they scroll up the terminal? | 02:18 |
| Smaxie | bennypr0fane: apparently, Ive been using linjux for 11 years and never seen something so stupid when it ciomes to wifi | 02:18 |
| bennypr0fane | you can choose between the 2. deactivate whichever one you're using now and try the other | 02:18 |
| Smaxie | 2? i listed 3?] | 02:19 |
| Smaxie | \ | 02:19 |
| bennypr0fane | well one is just the installer | 02:19 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: I've got Byobu terminal manager, and it has a stats line along the bottom, but if that's what's going on they should _stay_ at the bottom | 02:19 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan they are supposed to stay at bottom but they scroll | 02:20 |

| Smaxie | wonder if its 64bit giving me problems or somethingmas | 02:20 |
| Zachster1996 | i tried putty, kitty, disabling byobu on login | 02:21 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan right now I'm in an Enlightenment session | 02:21 |
| bennypr0fane | I have htop running | 02:21 |
| bennypr0fane | what now? | 02:21 |
| Zachster1996 | it dont do it at the actual server just in ssh | 02:21 |

| treaverhoerig | How do I install oracle java 6-7 in ppa | 02:21 |
| bennypr0fane | Smaxie try uninstalling the STA driver | 02:21 |
| bennypr0fane | then reboot | 02:22 |
| Smaxie | i havbe | 02:22 |
| OerHeks | !java | 02:22 |
| ubottu | 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. | 02:22 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: yeah, that's not supposed to happen. Is that a actual windows box, and if so have you tried from anothe linux machine? | 02:22 |
| Smaxie | now im uninstyalling b43 studff and just going with bcmwl | 02:22 |
| bennypr0fane | ok | 02:22 |
| bennypr0fane | after that run rfkill again | 02:22 |
| OerHeks | treaverhoerig, there is no ppa, see ubottu's url | 02:22 |
| bennypr0fane | rfkill list | 02:22 |
| Zachster1996 | that server is my only linux machine | 02:23 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan ^ | 02:23 |
| Smaxie | if this doesnt work im gonna install my proven intel nioc from my t60 thinkpad | 02:23 |
| Zachster1996 | i have ubuntu desktop on my computer but i havent installed wireless yet | 02:23 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan ^ | 02:23 |
| bennypr0fane | this broadcom wifi card is just a curse | 02:23 |
| Smaxie | bennypr0fane: i never had a problem with b43 type ones | 02:24 |
| Smaxie | they always just worked for me | 02:24 |
| bennypr0fane | I've been having this issue with each installation of Linux | 02:24 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: could you plug in an ethernet cable long enough to test? | 02:24 |
| Zachster1996 | no my internet is on the opposite end of the house and i dont have long enough cable | 02:25 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan ^ | 02:25 |
| KRomeleoN | i just benchmarked a flash drive in ubuntu under disks and got 216.3 MB/s | 02:25 |
| KRomeleoN | can that be right? | 02:25 |
| KRomeleoN | seems high | 02:25 |
| KRomeleoN | its rated at 190MB/sec | 02:26 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan it dont happen on 11.10 i just upgraded to 12.04.1 | 02:26 |
| devslash | does linux support writing to HFS+ ? | 02:26 |
| Smaxie | rfkill shows thwe same | 02:26 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan maybe i should downgrade | 02:26 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: officaly, there's no way to downgrade (I found out tonight) | 02:27 |
| Zachster1996 | i meant wipe drive | 02:27 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan ^ | 02:27 |
| KRomeleoN | why not try 12.10 before u go back to 11.10 as a fresh install? | 02:27 |
| snwh | devslash, yes but only if Journaling is disabled under MAC OS | 02:27 |
| Zachster1996 | there is no 12.10 Krabbe | 02:27 |
| Zachster1996 | KRomeleoN | 02:27 |
| KRomeleoN | im running it, im sure it exists :) | 02:28 |
| devslash | will i lose any data if i do that ? | 02:28 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: yeah, if you're going to fresh-install you may as well try the current version first | 02:28 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan is 12.10 dev buid | 02:28 |
| toafan | KRomeleoN: not yet it doesn't, you're on beta | 02:28 |
| KRomeleoN | yeah its a beta | 02:28 |
| toafan | Zachster1996: so 12.4 | 02:28 |
| KRomeleoN | but b4 he does a fresh install.... | 02:28 |
| Zachster1996 | i dont like beta | 02:28 |
| KRomeleoN | try 12.10 | 02:28 |
| OerHeks | KRomeleoN, there are 2 speeds, cach & bufferd speeds, use > sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda | 02:28 |
| Zachster1996 | k | 02:28 |
| bennypr0fane | Smaxie here's a really neat thing for diagnosing your wlan: http://wiki.bodhilinux.com/doku.php?id=wireless_script | 02:29 |
| snwh | devslash, you shouldnt. but they say it is "not recommended" to disable | 02:29 |
| bennypr0fane | it prints out everything you wanna know | 02:29 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan gonna go try that | 02:29 |
| bennypr0fane | making sense of the output will be another thing tho... | 02:30 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan I can't see any Unity process in htop | 02:30 |
| snwh | devslash, it just prevents corruption, data loss, etc. if you want the write to HFS+ from ubuntu you have to disable. here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus | 02:31 |
| Zachster1996 | toafan do-release-upgrade says no new version | 02:31 |
| Zachster1996 | im using -d | 02:31 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: did you search for them? | 02:31 |
| bennypr0fane | how? | 02:31 |
| bennypr0fane | there's really just a dozen running though | 02:31 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: probably hit f3, it should say along the bottom | 02:32 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: might want to make sure you're seeing processes from all users | 02:32 |
| bennypr0fane | i've got processes from 4 users shown so that's probably all | 02:32 |
| bennypr0fane | is it? | 02:33 |
| bennypr0fane | but as i'm now in an e17 session, it wouldn't make much sense anyway if there was anything Unity running, right? | 02:34 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: yeah yeah yeah, the idea here is to try to log in to unity and see if it worked by checking for unity processes | 02:35 |
| * zykotick9 wonders if "unity" is a process? compiz maybe? | 02:36 | |
| devslash | anyone here running ubuntu server | 02:36 |
| snwh | devslash, for what purpose? | 02:36 |
| toafan | zykotick9: well, if his unity is running correctly, there should be a couple processes with unity in their name | 02:37 |
| bennypr0fane | but the problem is if I log into Unity I can't be in here not run anything | 02:37 |
| zykotick9 | toafan: you'd know better then i would ;) | 02:37 |
| toafan | zykotick9: for example unity-panel iirc | 02:37 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: what chat client are you using? | 02:37 |
| bennypr0fane | except if I can run 2 sessions simultaneously and switch between them? | 02:37 |
| bennypr0fane | x-chat | 02:37 |
| devslash | I want to get a computer to run ubuntu server, i don't need anything REALLY fancy. just decent amount of RAM (~4GB) and a lot of storage. any recommendations | 02:38 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: what about multiuser and switch-user? | 02:38 |
| andrewh192 | question.... I am looking for what tv tuner card I could use on my computer, and what program i would use to watch tv with....??? | 02:38 |
| bennypr0fane | no idea, never tried taht | 02:38 |
| andrewh192 | i have looked online at several forums but always never seem to get a real answer from anything said there | 02:38 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: you probably can't log in two sessions for the same user, so you may have to create a test user | 02:38 |
| bennypr0fane | devslash you might wanna try the #hardware channel | 02:39 |
| snwh | devslash, well ubuntu server doesnt have a gui by default | 02:39 |
| devslash | i know | 02:39 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan shouldn't be a problem | 02:39 |
| devslash | I'm currently running it on an old laptop | 02:39 |
| devslash | in a CLI | 02:39 |
| bennypr0fane | the problem is how do i get any info about the Unity session if I can't start any applications | 02:40 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: I've got irssi which runs in a terminal, so it'd run in a TTY. I've learned you should put it in screen or byobu or the like | 02:40 |
| zykotick9 | andrewh192: i use an oldish hauppauge 1600 to watch/PVR OTA-HD with MythTV, but you might want to check out (?)TVTime i think, for simple watching... | 02:40 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: one thing I usually do is go to TTY1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and run htop there | 02:41 |
| bennypr0fane | I can chat from my other computer | 02:41 |
| snwh | devslash, it should be fine for a server. I repurposed an old laptop and 6 harddrive to make a file server. | 02:41 |
| jaslap | ok seriously.. gnome 3, why do I have more options for online accounts on my desktop than on my laptop? I've installed all the same stuff.. | 02:41 |
| zykotick9 | !info tvtime | andrewh192 | 02:41 |

| esteban320 | Hello. I can start X as root but not as normal User | 02:41 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan so if I go ctrl alt f1 in the unity session, i should be able to run cli applications, right? | 02:42 |
| esteban320 | need help please | 02:42 |
| snwh | devslash, that sounds like a hardware issue :P | 02:42 |
| defaultro | still can't figure out the issue | 02:42 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: yup. Catch is, that'll be _all_ you can run | 02:42 |
| devslash | it was JUST working. i powered it off to check something and when i went to power it on it wouldn't turn on | 02:43 |
| defaultro | network just stops working. What I'll do is disconnect wireless from top right, then click my SSID again. | 02:43 |
| codewiz | hi, i have a process called "whoopsie" owned by the user "whoopsie" that respawns when killed | 02:43 |
| defaultro | is there a problem with RT2800pci driver? | 02:43 |
| codewiz | that part of the system? | 02:43 |
| bennypr0fane | toafan AND I can't claim I know my cli commands all that well | 02:43 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: although, you can probably start a program that uses X from there, same as if you started eg firefox from a terminal window | 02:43 |
| bennypr0fane | maybe you'd be ready to post me the lines? | 02:43 |
| esteban320 | my xorg.0.failsafeX doesnt work too . One of the WW was Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) | 02:44 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: if you know how to use `man` and run everything inside byobu, you'll be fine overall | 02:44 |
| defaultro | wow, someone reporter that the rt2800pci is causing havoc to their school network | 02:44 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: but sure | 02:44 |
| zykotick9 | codewiz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/135540/what-is-the-whoopsie-process-and-how-can-i-remove-it | 02:44 |
| defaultro | reported | 02:44 |
| bennypr0fane | what's byobu? | 02:44 |
| codewiz | thx | 02:45 |
| toafan | bennypr0fane: it's like a windowmanager for the CLI. I'm pretty sure it's the most newbie-friendly, but I haven't used it much myself | 02:45 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, will see | 02:45 |
| bennypr0fane | starting unity session now | 02:46 |
| defaultro | hey folks, will RT2860 driver work for me? Currently, it shows RT2800pci | 02:46 |
| defaultro | and someone from a forum is saying that RT2800pci driver is causing issues to their school network. One suggestion was to install a new driver | 02:46 |

| bennypr0fane | I opened another tty for this though, alt ctrl F4 - would that be supposed to work? | 03:03 |
| insomniac_lemon | Autodesk Maya 2013 on Ubuntu? Anyone? | 03:03 |
| snwh | cactusfrog where image.iso is replaced with your iso name and /dev/disk your disk | 03:03 |
| Devin__ | I am using Ubuntu 12.4 on a VM and am doing HW and I need to update the kernel | 03:04 |
| YoungOwl | Hello everyone | 03:04 |
| Devin__ | I think I am on the right path but I just want to make sure | 03:04 |
| cactusfrog | snwh: so that would work? | 03:05 |
| twitchie | !compizconfig-settings-manager | bennypr0fane | 03:05 |
| snwh | cactusfrog: it ought to | 03:05 |
| Nautilus | ampd: sorry I had to step away. Dont see it in the file manager, and believe I need to mount it, but I suspect the cdrom is a special case... I see it in /dev but also see a /cdrom | 03:05 |
| snwh | cactusfrog, worth trying at least. | 03:06 |
| cactusfrog | snwh: so just to be clear that would allow me to boot off the usb make changes like changing my destkop background or installing a program. Shut down my computer and then reboot off that usb again and all the programs would be installed. | 03:06 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie thanks - this would be the command? | 03:06 |
| defaultro | folks, just would like to confirm please. Can i use module rt2860 in place of rt2800? | 03:06 |
| defaultro | the rt2800pci driver in LTS is bad | 03:06 |
| snwh | cactusfrog, yup. its just a different way of writing an iso to a usb drive | 03:07 |
| Devin__ | hey can one of you guys point me in the right direction | 03:07 |
| Devin__ | for my kernel update | 03:07 |
| bennypr0fane | 'compiz' returns: 'Fatal: couldn't open display' | 03:08 |
| cactusfrog | snwh: thanks | 03:08 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ you'll need to be more specific | 03:08 |
| bennypr0fane | ask for the exact thing you wanna do | 03:08 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, do you have a current X11 session open? | 03:09 |
| bennypr0fane | yes, the one with the empty desktop | 03:09 |
| Devin__ | can I paste, or will I get in trouble | 03:09 |
| Devin__ | ??? | 03:09 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ use pastebin.com | 03:09 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, what is your current window manager? | 03:09 |
| bennypr0fane | you don't need an account for that | 03:09 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie not sure | 03:10 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:10 |
| bennypr0fane | what's the deafult window manager of Unity? | 03:10 |
| Nautilus | do I mount /dev/cdrom to the already existing /cdrom folder? | 03:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !mount | Nautilus | 03:11 |
| ubottu | Nautilus: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 03:11 |
| Devin__ | wow that's nifty ! | 03:12 |
| Devin__ | http://pastebin.com/BEq3HAe2 | 03:12 |

| d3v1an7 | Hey all. I've got a bunch of undelivered message reports in /var/mail/www-data. How would I go about resending the *original* mail out again - not just the fail message? | 03:12 |

| ubottu | ebby: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:12 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, so you have do menu/taskbar etc? | 03:12 |
| blackshirt | Nautilus: I think that was done automatically | 03:13 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie no, nothing, the desktop is completely blank! | 03:14 |
| Devin__ | did you get my paste? | 03:14 |
| defaultro | which line should I start to copy, http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg85339.html | 03:14 |
| Nautilus | lotuspsychje: that says I can mount it explicity, so just "sudo mount /dev/cdrom"? | 03:15 |
| defaultro | anyone know how to patch | 03:15 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ so what, you just need to upgrade your kernel to just any newer version? | 03:15 |
| bennypr0fane | what is it for? | 03:15 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, did a login GUI come up when you booted the computer? | 03:15 |
| Devin__ | Operating Systems course | 03:15 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie yes | 03:16 |
| Devin__ | I don't want to update to the newest thought because part two he wants me to do it again but in a different way I guess | 03:16 |
| defaultro | what the hello is Synaptic package manager? | 03:16 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ so did you do the things suggested there? | 03:16 |
| defaultro | I need this, linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic | 03:17 |
| defaultro | is it yum search linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic | 03:17 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, do you know how to switch the window manager on the login screen? | 03:17 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie yes | 03:17 |
| twitchie | do any of the other choices provide you with a desktop? | 03:17 |
| bennypr0fane | yes, I got Enlightenment | 03:18 |
| defaultro | yum iss not installed | 03:18 |
| defaultro | Englightenment is very old :D | 03:18 |
| bennypr0fane | defaultro, you're in Ubuntu, yes? | 03:18 |
| defaultro | yes, ubuntu | 03:18 |
| blackshirt | defaultro: yum was for centos based | 03:18 |
| defaultro | why? | 03:18 |
| defaultro | got it, that's why it failed | 03:18 |
| defaultro | i though it was universal | 03:18 |
| bennypr0fane | and you're trying to install stuff with yum? | 03:18 |

| defaultro | i'll try that | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | it's apt-gert | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | *apt-get | 03:19 |
| defaultro | apt-get search linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic | 03:19 |
| defaultro | will that work? | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | apt-get install | 03:19 |
| defaultro | k | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | no. sorry | 03:19 |
| defaultro | what about searching first | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | wrong | 03:19 |
| defaultro | apt-search? | 03:19 |
| bennypr0fane | apt-get search | 03:20 |
| garthk | Recreated: upgrading from ubuntu-12-x64 3.2.0-30-virtual gives me 'submenu' in grub.cfg; 'apt-get clean' and 'apt-get autoclean' leave the extra kernel images in /boot and the 'submenu' in grub.cfg; there's no way to not do submenus; and Xen's boot loader can't cope with the submenus. | 03:20 |
| Devin__ | Sorry was fixing my paste to include part II | 03:20 |
| Devin__ | http://pastebin.com/52etPCNQ | 03:20 |
| Devin__ | So yeah I tried to follow the link and look around alittle bit | 03:20 |
| Devin__ | I think I know what I have to do | 03:20 |
| defaultro | thanks | 03:20 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ smart move | 03:20 |
| SudoShred | I accidentally created 2 Ubuntu Software Center accounts and each have separate programs that are purchased. Is there a way to merge the accounts or log out of the currently logged in account to install the other software? | 03:21 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, sounds like your unity/gnome3 is broken. I would fire try a dpkg-reconfigure unity .. if that doesn't work then apt-get purge then apt-get install | 03:21 |
| garthk | Re grub submenus: any chance the help is out of date, and there's a way to suppress submenu generation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Submenus | 03:21 |
| defaultro | damn, unable to locate package | 03:21 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, but to answer your question csmm is the command to change compz settings | 03:21 |
| defaultro | there is no linux-backports | 03:21 |
| bennypr0fane | defaultro the search working? return anything? | 03:21 |

| defaultro | i'm trying to follow the steps here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973881 | 03:22 |
| defaultro | this is what he wrote, You might try the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic package available in Synaptic package manager. rt2800pci is different (new? better??) there; here is the standard version: | 03:22 |
| Devin__ | Did you look at my paste again cause I am going to ask you a question | 03:22 |
| tizz | is there just an ubuntu chat channel? | 03:22 |
| defaultro | what the hell is Synaptic Package manager? | 03:23 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ go ahead ask | 03:23 |
| Devin__ | What is the difference in the two updates from link 1 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to link 2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ | 03:23 |
| bennypr0fane | defaultro it's what you need | 03:23 |
| defaultro | but what is it? | 03:23 |
| Guest7627 | how do i join sibgapore galaxynet server? | 03:23 |
| bennypr0fane | it's for installing stuff | 03:23 |
| defaultro | when i ran apt-get install linux-backports, it failed | 03:23 |
| bennypr0fane | manages yr software | 03:23 |
| defaultro | ok | 03:23 |
| defaultro | but I am just installing it | 03:23 |
| defaultro | apt-get is failing | 03:24 |
| Nautilus | yay! cd is mounted (sudo mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom) ... how can I find the disc label? | 03:24 |
| bennypr0fane | installing what? | 03:24 |
| defaultro | linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic | 03:24 |
| defaultro | i want to try the solution that was suggested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973881 | 03:24 |

| bennypr0fane | defaultro if you have synaptic installed, start it | 03:25 |
| defaultro | i'm sorry, I'm just 2 hours old in ubuntu | 03:25 |

| Devin__ | any idea ? | 03:26 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: what you mean ? | 03:26 |
| defaultro | bennypr0fane, lol, i couldn't even find System tools | 03:27 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: what are you trying to do ? | 03:27 |
| defaultro | i feel like downloading Fedora :( | 03:27 |
| Devin__ | Well part 1 and part 2 ask me to upgrade ubuntu kernels | 03:27 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, I noticed I said cssm, the correct command is ccsm | 03:27 |
| Devin__ | part 1 says to use ubuntu's precompiled kernel components | 03:27 |
| ampd | defaultro: its in the upper right | 03:27 |
| bennypr0fane | twitchie i did dpkg-reconfigure unity. need to reboot to see an effect, or should something happen right away? | 03:28 |
| Devin__ | and part 2 asks to use Linux Kernel source code components | 03:28 |
| Devin__ | whats the difference | 03:28 |
| defaultro | i'll look again | 03:28 |
| guest-3d4IEw | I have a 'sort-of problem' problem. Installed Ubuntu Studio on /sda3 partition, bootloader failed - I reinstalled it to get Studio to work. Now I have 2 partitions of the same thing. I tried to delete the partition in a windows partition editor and after reset it just came back. | 03:28 |
| defaultro | my ubuntu experience has been somewhat painful | 03:28 |
| guest-3d4IEw | is there a simple solution? | 03:28 |
| d3v1an7 | Hey guys, I'm not having a lot of success with this mail issue - can anyone direct me to either a more general linux adminy type channel? | 03:28 |
| ampd | defaultro: sounds like my experiences trying to update fedora ;) | 03:28 |
| bennypr0fane | hey defaultro maybe it's in preferences | 03:28 |
| twitchie | bennypr0fane, should work if you can log out of your current X session | 03:29 |
| bennypr0fane | ah ok | 03:29 |
| defaultro | ampd, :) Fedora was easy for me | 03:29 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: I don't follow your problem from the begins, I'm just sitting here for a second | 03:29 |
| defaultro | there is no SYstem Tools but there is System Settings | 03:29 |
| defaultro | maybe, I don't have Synaptics | 03:29 |
| defaultro | apt-get search doesn't work either :( | 03:30 |
| bennypr0fane | just type synaptic in terminal | 03:30 |
| defaultro | i'll try that | 03:30 |
| ampd | defaultro: sudo apt-get install synaptic | 03:30 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: that's very different thing | 03:30 |
| Devin__ | I am working on an Operating Systems class, and I have installed Ubuntu 12.4 onto a VM. I am not very good with linux at all and I need to update the kernels | 03:30 |
| defaultro | it's not installed | 03:30 |
| defaultro | ok, installin git | 03:30 |
| Devin__ | how so | 03:30 |
| Devin__ | ? | 03:30 |
| bennypr0fane | sudo apt-get install synaptic | 03:30 |
| SudoShred | Is there a way to install software for all users at once from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 03:30 |
| WeThePeople | d3v1an7, whats the issue? | 03:31 |
| d3v1an7 | WeThePeople: I've got a bunch of undelivered message reports in /var/mail/www-data. How would I go about resending the *original* mail out again - not just the fail message? | 03:31 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt_: how so? | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Devin__, Your kernel updates will be in software updates | 03:31 |
| defaultro | installed but when I ran it, startiing without administrative privileges. :( | 03:31 |
| twitchie | !sudo | defaultro | 03:32 |
| ubottu | defaultro: 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 | 03:32 |
| Devin__ | is software updates the GUI version because I think he wants me to do it in CLI | 03:32 |
| defaultro | cool | 03:32 |
| defaultro | forgot to put sudo | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Devin__, Are you trying to get a specific kernel? | 03:32 |
| defaultro | I'm very used to running root | 03:32 |
| Nautilus | i have a DVD mounted and can see the files but not the disc label, anyone know how to find that? | 03:32 |
| WeThePeople | d3v1an7, is there a specific program you use? | 03:32 |
| defaultro | why was root disabled? | 03:33 |
| Devin__ | No not really, I just want to fufill the requirements of my assignment | 03:33 |
| Nordom | I downloaded a .tgz, what is the command to install it? sudo apt-get install filename.tgz? | 03:33 |
| Devin__ | The only thing I would need to tell you up front is I am on Kernel 3.2.0 and I need to do two updates and I don't want to be on the newest one by the end of this | 03:33 |
| Devin__ | just incase say the next assignment is update your kernel again | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Devin__, We would not know what that is but in ubuntu just run in a terminal sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade this wil update the OS. | 03:34 |
| Devin__ | If I go to the newest kernel then I would be in trouble | 03:34 |
| d3v1an7 | WeThePeople: All emails originated from WordPress, which uses PHPMailer 5.2.1 | 03:34 |
| bennypr0fane | Devin__ in that case don't do apt-get update | 03:34 |
| ampd | Devin__: kernel.ubuntu.com | 03:34 |
| twitchie | defaultro, for security reasons. if you wish to run as root use the command sudo -i | 03:34 |
| Devin__ | yeah, thats what I thought, because If i do that wouldn't it bring me to the most recent | 03:35 |
| chachin | o_o | 03:35 |
| chachin | damn 1518 users | 03:35 |
| === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 | ||
| WeThePeople | d3v1an7, idk how to use PHPMailer, but maybe a PHP irc channel might? | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | !who | Devin__ | 03:35 |
| ubottu | Devin__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:35 |
| Devin__ | yeah thats the link I have in my assignment kernel.ubunto.com | 03:35 |
| ampd | Devin__: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 03:36 |
| ampd | Devin__: you can install from a .deb | 03:36 |
| Devin__ | ampd ampd | 03:36 |
| mal10c | I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to slow my mouse pointer down more than the Mouse and Touchpad window is offering, does anyone know of another way to do this? | 03:36 |
| Devin__ | http://pastebin.com/52etPCNQ | 03:36 |
| olskolirc | my monitor keeps slamming off. sometimes when it does that, i can hear my hard drive spin high. now display gets scrambled. ubuntu 11.10 - Nvidia 6 graphics card. 1.8 cpu | 03:36 |
| d3v1an7 | WeThePeople: No worries! I am trying to resend with formail if that makes it more relevant. | 03:37 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: first one was using precompiled kernel, I mean, in binary term | 03:37 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: second one, you build by yourself the kernel binary from the source | 03:37 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: usually you upgrade it with precompiled kernel from mainline stock .. | 03:37 |
| d3v1an7 | WeThePeople: This command works - http://serverfault.com/questions/90023/how-can-i-send-var-mail-root-again | 03:37 |
| olskolirc | !legacy | 03:37 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: the second part was more hard and usually was for more experienced linux user | 03:37 |
| Devin__ | is the first one I just download the .deb files and run the command | 03:37 |
| tjz | Hello guys | 03:37 |
| tjz | anyone familiar with using EncFS ? | 03:38 |
| d3v1an7 | WeThePeople: But it resends the fail message back to www-data, not the actual original email to a external address that failed in the first place. | 03:38 |
| WeThePeople | mal10c, look in the software center for that | 03:38 |
| ampd | Devin__: yea, sounds like it | 03:38 |
| Devin__ | I think the command I found was "" sudo dpkg -i *.deb"" | 03:38 |
| ampd | Devin__: that should do it | 03:38 |
| Devin__ | how about part II | 03:39 |
| Devin__ | anyone have any idea | 03:39 |
| defaultro | thanks twitchie | 03:39 |
| mal10c | WeThePeople: thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I see there's a lot of software that might help | 03:40 |
| defaultro | ok folks, I got the linux-backports precise generic installed. How do I know if my system is now using it? | 03:40 |
| defaultro | i forgot to take note of the filesize of rt2800pci driver | 03:40 |
| defaultro | lsmod shows the same driver name | 03:40 |
| defaultro | so I can't tell if I am using linux-backpors | 03:40 |
| WeThePeople | mal10c, i use atomic mailer, if that intrests you :) | 03:40 |
| bisi | #irssi | 03:41 |
| mhumgood | can any one on xubuntu tell me how to have dual screens that are not clone onlyy | 03:41 |
| ampd | Devin__: just do the same thing with a .tar.gz | 03:41 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: part II was told you to upgrade with compile your kernel image by yourself | 03:41 |
| garthk | Heh. Can't find version_find_latest defined in /etc/grub.d/*, /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig, /usr/sbin/update-grub, or /boot/grub/*… | 03:41 |
| defaultro | yes, I am using the linux-backports module now :D | 03:42 |
| ampd | defaultro: i *think* there's somewhere in system settings that should display it? | 03:42 |

| defaultro | hopefully my wifi is now stable | 03:42 |
| WeThePeople | garthk, have you tried sudo apt-get update-grub? | 03:42 |
| defaultro | ampd, i just used modinfo and it did the trick ;) | 03:42 |
| ampd | defaultro: :) | 03:42 |
| defaultro | i'll monitor my network | 03:42 |
| Devin__ | You can check that out and it will show you my project just go to Labs>Lab 01 >Manual | 03:42 |
| twitchie | defaultro, modinfo <modulename> ..... good to hear hope it stays that way. | 03:43 |
| garthk | WeThePeople: All packages are up-to-date. 'update-grub' isn't an APT command: "E: Invalid operation update-grub". | 03:43 |
| blackshirt | that's very slow | 03:43 |
| Devin__ | how do i get sudo dpkg -i *.deb to work for where I have placed my .deb files | 03:44 |
| garthk | I'm well amused: all the grub stuff is in sh, it's calling version_find_latest in back ticks… nobody changes the path… and yet, I can't find it anywhere sensible. Game well played. :) | 03:44 |
| blackshirt | garth, yes, that's command from grub2 packages | 03:44 |
| Devin__ | if I just cd to it will it know | 03:44 |
| ampd | Devin__: you have to put the path to the deb file | 03:44 |
| ampd | Devin__: unless you're in the same folder | 03:44 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: you should cd to dir contains your debs files, and issued that command | 03:44 |
| Nordom | I extracted a .tgz file, and I want to install it, I cd to the extrated file, and type 'make' but I get a message that says ' no targets specified' what gives? | 03:45 |
| Devin__ | oh dugh | 03:45 |

| i4n | Iran is very fucked up.. | 03:51 |
| netsecure | i am an application developer and was developing usually web applications in high level language such as java and .NET, lately i realized i would enjoy system programming more, so thought of delving into linux deeper. Initally i had a choice between redhat or ubuntu | 03:52 |
| netsecure | but i chose ubuntu coz its a debian derivative | 03:52 |
| defaultro | i got it working | 03:52 |
| defaultro | i'm loving Ubuntu | 03:52 |
| defaultro | i was never able to install plugins on my Fedora firefox :) | 03:52 |
| i4n | is everyone running on Ubuntu here?> | 03:53 |
| |Anthony| | how about this. defaultro use chrome browser with pepper. adobe has dropped the linux flash player, but will provide security updates for 5 years. they have forwarded flash player devel over to google. | 03:53 |
| i4n | is backtrack any good? | 03:53 |
| twitchie | !ot | i4n | 03:53 |
| ubottu | i4n: #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! | 03:53 |
| defaultro | what is pepper |Anthony| | 03:53 |
| |Anthony| | defaultro, use google. find answer. profit | 03:53 |
| ampd | |Anthony|: have you tried uzbl yet? | 03:54 |
| i4n | pofvifvvfv | 03:54 |
| i4n | 9duufdvodf | 03:54 |
| |Anthony| | now, on to a question that is NOT already answered on the interwebs... where is current and proper man pages/documentation for ConsolKit | 03:54 |
| i4n | has anyone heard of backtrack? | 03:54 |
| OerHeks | i4n backtrack is not supported here. | 03:55 |
| |Anthony| | ampd, no i have not | 03:55 |
| i4n | ok, well is it any good? | 03:55 |
| Devin__ | Hey guys reload my manual page I think I was successful | 03:55 |
| twitchie | i4n: yes but this is not the channel to discuss it. Please feel free to head over to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss | 03:55 |
| i4n | cool, ok.. sorry | 03:55 |
| Devin__ | Ok so when I reboot now, should I get a option of which I would like to boot? | 03:55 |
| Devin__ | because I did a mainline kernel??? | 03:56 |
| Devin__ | if I understand correctly | 03:56 |
| ampd | Devin__: yea, then run a uname -a in terminal and print screen that | 03:56 |
| |Anthony| | or you could /exec -o uname -a | 03:56 |
| |Anthony| | but what do i know | 03:56 |
| |Anthony| | where is the docs for ConsoleKit | 03:57 |
| i4n | #consoleKit | 03:57 |
| |Anthony| | oh funny | 03:58 |
| Devin__ | Oh Cool | 03:58 |
| ampd | |Anthony|: I dont think consolkit is maintained anymore | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | no it is not | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | but | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | it is still in use | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | and a version for which there is no docs | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | furthermore... | 03:59 |
| i4n | okc wehat time are you comming | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | it is included in quantal | 03:59 |
| i4n | oops | 03:59 |
| |Anthony| | so there are obvious plans to continue using it | 04:00 |
| i4n | #ISEECATS!! | 04:00 |
| |Anthony| | is this the new trend? using depreciated things (consolekit udev) and undocumented things (lightdm) | 04:00 |
| |Anthony| | excuse my rage... just getting frustrated with *this* | 04:01 |
| i4n | what are you frustrated with? | 04:01 |
| Devin__ | PART I COMPLETE | 04:01 |
| i4n | party where? | 04:01 |
| i4n | IP? | 04:01 |
| |Anthony| | trying to get a multiseat setup working... have it all going well except for audio. only one seat can access the audio hw at a time. working theory on that is an acl something something that consolekit needs to be involved in | 04:02 |

| |Anthony| | been banging my head for the last... idk week or so. | 04:03 |
| i4n | just do a google search | 04:03 |
| julius_ | ive read it might be the windows logo key, but that one shows me all programs i can start | 04:03 |
| somsip | !google | i4n | 04:03 |
| ubottu | i4n: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 04:03 |
| i4n | do you have all updates installed? | 04:04 |
| |Anthony| | i4n, this is *uncharted* territory. there is a wealth of outdated info on the googles. some of which is in fact helpful, most of which is not. | 04:04 |
| Devin__ | Ok so can you help me with part II | 04:04 |
| i4n | kjvv | 04:04 |

| OerHeks | !tab | 04:08 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:08 |
| ampd | Devin__: Start typing and tab for autocomplete of username | 04:08 |

| eddi3x3 | I get this error amixer: Unable to find simple control 'PCM',0 from volwheel | 04:10 |
| twitchie | !itunes | defaultro | 04:10 |
| ubottu | defaultro: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 04:10 |
| defaultro | oh | 04:10 |
| WeThePeople | defaultro, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUrqcD4W_M | 04:10 |

| mhumgood | I'm a noob and well not really but if i have no choise | 04:11 |
| |Anthony| | !pm | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 04:11 |
| mumet | uye | 04:11 |
| ampd | |Anthony|: are you launching dbus after consolekit? | 04:12 |
| |Anthony| | that was supposed to be !pm | mhumgood | 04:12 |

| |Anthony| | ampd, i have not edited any init stuff so whatever ubuntus default is | 04:12 |
| twitchie | mhumgood, you should be using amdcccle to configure your ati card and displays | 04:12 |
| Devin__ | I haven't started part II yet | 04:12 |
| twitchie | mhumgood, in that case run sudo amdcccle | 04:13 |
| ampd | |Anthony|: maybe GDM loads them in the wrong order? I honestly have no idea. | 04:13 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt: how to i nick alert two people | 04:13 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: I think if you want to deep understand of kernel building process, you should try to compile by your self | 04:13 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt: no I don't lol I just want to get this assignment done | 04:13 |
| |Anthony| | ampd, 12.04 uses lightdm (another mostly undocumented inclusion in ubuntu) | 04:13 |

| Devin__ | |Anthony|: how do I nick alert multiple people? | 04:14 |

| |Anthony| | Devin__, type each persons nick completely (use TAB completion) | 04:14 |
| Devin__ | oh | 04:14 |
| Devin__ | ampd blackshirt did that work? | 04:15 |
| OerHeks | Devin__, all you need is in the pastebin of your assignment .. why do you want us to do your homework? | 04:15 |

| Devin__ | ampd blackshirt whats the difference if I am getting my kernel from kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel or ubuntu.kernel.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline | 04:19 |
| Devin__ | ?? | 04:19 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| ampd | Devin__: the ubuntu one is packaged for ubuntu already | 04:22 |
| Devin__ | the other is just unpackaged? | 04:23 |
| |Anthony| | Devin__, don't expect to have a happy system if you're using packages that aren't built for the kernel you're using | 04:23 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: kernel from kernel.org was a pristine kernel ... | 04:23 |
| julius_ | Devin__, yes davin, thats exactly it | 04:23 |
| Devin__ | |Anthony|: lol sorry what are the packages | 04:23 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt: what do you mean pristine | 04:23 |
| karthick87 | I am not able to login, I am getting the following error ==> "Chroot: can't execute '/sbin/load_policy': No such file or directory mount: mounting none on /selinux failed: No such device" How to fix it ?? | 04:24 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt: like good or is pristine a code name for something | 04:24 |
| ampd | Devin__: the official version, unmodified | 04:25 |
| Devin__ | ampd: which is the official version? | 04:26 |
| Devin__ | ampd: oh the kernel.org? | 04:26 |
| ampd | Devin__: yea | 04:26 |
| === charles_ is now known as Guest89778 | ||
| ampd | Devin__: and the ubuntu one is jsut the official ubuntu kernel, packaged for ubuntu | 04:26 |
| Devin__ | ampd: can I backdate afterwords if I have problems, say back to 3.2.0 | 04:26 |
| Devin__ | |Anthony|: what do you mean by for me package | 04:27 |
| ampd | Devin__: when you boot up you get the option to select what kernel to load, right? | 04:27 |
| Devin__ | no I didn't | 04:27 |
| Devin__ | it just booted up again | 04:27 |
| Devin__ | but with the new kernel | 04:27 |
| redwarriors25_ | how will i repair this upon installing printer driver | 04:28 |
| redwarriors25_ | Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: lsb (>= 3.2) | 04:28 |
| ampd | Devin__: ubuntu may have the grub menu disabled? | 04:28 |
| Devin__ | ampd: maybe, I am also using VmWare | 04:29 |
| lima | hi. can anyone help change my gdm skin from the terminal? | 04:29 |
| |Anthony| | Devin__, the ubuntu team makes great effort to ensure that packages included in the version specific repos work together. if you go outside of these repos and include packages from third party sources, there is no guarantee that it will work. now, if you get a kernel from a third party source... (imo) all bets are off | 04:29 |
| Devin__ | |Anthony|: thanks, so can I backdate do you know? I have to do this for my assignment but If i decide to go back can I | 04:30 |
| |Anthony| | regardless of how "pristine" the kernel might be. don't be confused by "modified" | 04:30 |
| defaultro | what is the binary for Ubuntu Software center? | 04:30 |
| redwarriors25_ | Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: lsb (>= 3.2) | 04:31 |
| redwarriors25_ | how will i repair this upon installing printer driver | 04:31 |
| OerHeks | redwarriors25_, try sudo apt-get install -f | 04:31 |
| |Anthony| | i'm done answering questions that have been answered here and on the internet. especially if you're supposed to be learning. make the effort and search out the answers to these basic questions. you might learn something along the way. this help chan is for real time help for ubuntu users that are either totally new to linux and ubuntu, or for those who have made the effort to search out the answer on their own, but it is not available | 04:33 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: that's meaning, the kernel code maintained by linus torvald among all kernel developers and released to public regular to schedule release | 04:33 |
| blackshirt | Devin__: the mainline kernel was from ubuntu core developer, and fetch them from pristine kernel (kernel.org) and some add patch (maybe), improvement (specific to ubuntu) and included on ubuntu releases | 04:33 |
| blackshirt | karthick87: are you have configure your selinux ? | 04:33 |

| Devin__ | ls | 04:34 |
| rgenito | looks like #tribler has no one in it... but i'm wondering if anyone can access tribler.org | 04:34 |

| rgenito | Devin__, it's not as bad as (back in the day) me typing something like, "get womenHorseFuck.avi" or something | 04:35 |
| Devin__ | when am I configuring it | 04:35 |
| rgenito | ...accidently typing that in IRC instead of FTP console lol | 04:35 |

| freedomrun | hello .. there is some confusion here at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI .. the problem that could make confusion is done when AMD divided it`s drivers and now radeon HD3000 series are called legancy which are not the same "legancy" cards the manual talks about .. please could someone fix that so the new users won`t be confused more than it is necesary | 04:36 |

| defaultro | ? | 04:41 |
| d1gital | say I want to stream audio, multiple streams to multiple clients, encrypted. | 04:41 |
| defaultro | maybe use shout then tunnel it in ssh | 04:41 |

| Devin__ | blackshirt: you can look at the Labs > lab 01 file | 04:42 |
| d1gital | defaultro: so use an IP tunnel as opposed to writing to a socket? | 04:42 |
| Devin__ | if you look under part II | 04:42 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt: If ou look under part II he asks me to rename the kernel version to my initials | 04:42 |
| defaultro | either will do | 04:43 |
| defaultro | not really familiar with sockets but if you meant tcp sockets, you can setup a listener i guess | 04:43 |

| d1gital | Devin__: gunzip | 04:48 |
| tsimpson | Devin__: .gz, or .tar.gz? | 04:48 |

| blackshirt1 | Devin__: wait a second | 04:49 |
| Devin__ | labs>Lab01 go down to where is says part II | 04:49 |
| Devin__ | tsimpson: so should it look like this tar linux-3.2.2.tar.gz | 04:50 |
| tsimpson | Devin__: no, "tar xvf linux-3.2.2.tar.gz", the "xvf" part are arguments to the tar command. in this case 'x' for eXtract, 'v' for Verbose, and 'f' for Filename | 04:51 |
| OerHeks | !mint | awc737 maybe it is a mint issue | 04:51 |
| ubottu | awc737 maybe it is a mint issue: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 04:51 |

| Devin__ | blackshirt1: how do I install the kernel the second way | 05:03 |
| Devin__ | I installed the tar.gz | 05:03 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt1: I installed the tar.gz, I got the 3.2.2 release | 05:03 |
| blackshirt1 | Devin__: you should get a pristine kernel from kernel.org, download them, unpack them, configure it, and compile it... you should need some toold to build kernel | 05:05 |
| Devin__ | blackshirt1: Ok I have downloaded it, and I unpacked it I think | 05:06 |
| Devin__ | its in a folder now | 05:06 |

| N03L | Hey guys. | 05:43 |
| tapas | gogeta: yeah.. | 05:43 |
| N03L | I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 via USB boot. | 05:43 |
| hatori | diven__ greats | 05:43 |
| kujablak | Hi, I'm looking for a software similar to wammu/gammu except for Android phones ? | 05:43 |
| hatori | n03l thats great | 05:44 |
| tapas | since i carefully avoid touching any gtk config stuff.. i wonder how i broke it.. | 05:44 |
| N03L | Upon my first installation attempt, I failed, a msg popped up saying 'grub failed to install' or something along that line. | 05:44 |
| gogeta | tapas: you try using dpkg --reconfigure | 05:44 |
| N03L | I initiated another installation and it worked. | 05:44 |
| gogeta | tapas: or did you brake it mid update | 05:44 |
| tapas | gogeta: running an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade first.. | 05:44 |
| N03L | HOwever, now I'm stuck with 2 installations. I partitioned my drive twice. How do I delete the first installation? | 05:45 |
| tapas | gogeta: nah, i just rebooted.. no update process at that time.. | 05:45 |
| N03L | Also, I'm dualbooting with Windows 7/ | 05:45 |
| gogeta | tapas: strange | 05:45 |
| tapas | gogeta: indeed | 05:45 |
| tapas | gogeta: also what package would you recommend for dpkg --reconfigure? | 05:45 |
| gogeta | tapas: gtk i would assume | 05:46 |
| tapas | aaah, it might have been the attempt to install skype.. | 05:46 |
| gogeta | tapas: gtk2 or 3 | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | N03L: Moving a partition "to the left" can be a very slow operation. It would probably be faster and easier (since it's a fresh install anyway) to whipe both installations then install again. | 05:46 |
| gogeta | tapas: thers a command for that heh lemmie get it | 05:47 |
| N03L | Jordan_U: I'm afraid that the installation might fail again. | 05:48 |
| gogeta | tapas: try sudo dpkg configure -a | 05:49 |
| === lo is now known as Guest32254 | ||
| tapas | gogeta: ok, once the apt-get upgrade is through.. | 05:49 |
| N03L | The only inconvenience is that the first installation, I partitioned my drive to like 100GB. So I'm running out of space. | 05:49 |
| gogeta | tapas: that should resume any configs that did not compleate | 05:49 |
| N03L | WIth only 25GB left for Windows. | 05:49 |
| Guest32254 | cześć | 05:49 |
| tapas | gogeta: good to know :D | 05:50 |
| gogeta | tapas: worst case you drop down to cli purge gtk and reinstall | 05:50 |

| gogeta | chuck: it will boot into a single user mode from there you can change the root password | 06:04 |

| tapas | reinstalling and reconfiguring all these glib, gtk, etc.. packages didn't help :( | 06:07 |
| jilt007 | chuck then use passwd after mounting rw | 06:07 |

| gogeta | tapas: been a wile sense i had to brake in my own system | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: Simply '1' will boot into single user mode, and the "init" parameter (seen as completely separate) will be ignored as it's meaningless on its own. So they will still get single user mode. But, they already have tried single user mode because that's what "recovery mode" is, so still no progress. | 06:17 |

| === marduk is now known as Guest60745 | ||
| tapas | ok.. | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: For no particularly sane reason that I can think of, if a root password is set you need to enter it to get into single user mode. Ubuntu just doesn't have a root password by default (and one shouldn't create one). | 06:20 |
| tapas | it seems to be user specific.. added another user and started a gnome session | 06:20 |
| Captain_Claw | clementine is a music player that supports both those things. | 06:20 |

| Jordan_U | gogeta: I'm almost certain they're simply mistaken. I doubt they've been "hacked" at all. | 06:20 |
| tapas | i guess i'll have to reset all gtk and gnome related config files.. | 06:21 |
| tapas | which is a pita | 06:21 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: well worst case as long as its not a dell pull the cmos battery | 06:21 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: reset all bios settings to stock | 06:22 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: dells use a eprom pulling cmos does not work | 06:24 |
| woot-0854_ | gogeta, dells eprom can be reset | 06:25 |

| Hatori | for gnome, you can easily reset gnome setting... Reset it and blah,you have an new look | 06:29 |
| woot-0854_ | gogeta, I replaced the cmos before the second power on | 06:29 |

| Nordom | I am having problems installing a .tgz, I downloaded androdi-sdk and use the archive extracter program to extra it to a folder, I then use termincal and used CD to open to said folder, once inside I type sudo ./configure but says "command not found" I thought the file might be corupt so I redled it but same problem. Any pointers in how to install it? | 06:43 |
| Hatori | nordom. Configure was script on your sources dir | 06:44 |
| Nordom | Hatori, then what should I do? | 06:45 |
| Hatori | nordom, if it wasn't on there maybe you get corrupted packages.. | 06:45 |
| Nordom | direct from androids website!? | 06:45 |
| Nordom | twice? | 06:45 |
| Hatori | Try redownload it or maybe there install files need to read | 06:45 |
| Nordom | well actually 3 times | 06:45 |
| Hatori | nordom,i think there are some guide on them | 06:46 |
| Nordom | the read me that came with conveintly forgot the instillation bit | 06:48 |
| Hatori | nordom, maybe some .bin / .run files | 06:49 |
| Nordom | well I looked in the folder and nothing like that besides read me and other folders in it, but I am ubuntu nub so it there is some special command it is eluding me | 06:50 |

| woot-0854_ | Nordom, I haven't been really reading into it just lots of failed updates and sources,lst customizes | 06:54 |
| Nordom | well, since my I am unable to pull any thing, and u said its buggy, I am thinking my current problem is related to that | 06:55 |

| cebor | or should i place all in /srv/ ? | 07:24 |
| twitchie | !java | vartotojas | 07:25 |
| 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. | 07:25 |
| MarcoFe | ragazzi buongiorno | 07:31 |
| ade | Morning all, quick question... I know it's possible to dual boot win7 and Ubuntu, but is it possible to have more than one Ubuntu install (so three os in total)?? | 07:31 |
| MarcoFe | una curiosità | 07:31 |
| llutz | ade: sure | 07:32 |
| MarcoFe | ma come faccio a migliorare la grafica su kde quando uso eclipse, quindi java? | 07:32 |
| MonkeyDust | !it | 07:32 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 07:32 |
| ade | llutz: cheers bud, I knew it was possible to have four patritions max, but wasn;t sure how many could be root | 07:33 |
| fidel | ade: yep triple or whatever booting is possible in theory - but personaly i would always prefer using virtual machines instead of messing around with rebooting all day long. (personal preference) | 07:33 |
| MonkeyDust | ade four primary partitions, that is | 07:33 |
| llutz | ade: you can create an extended partition holding logical drives to use for linux-installations. you don't need primaries for linux | 07:33 |
| llutz | fidel: +1 | 07:34 |
| ade | fidel: yes me too, but have to do some hw tests (instead of vm ones) so didn't want to mess things up. Thanks. | 07:34 |
| ade | llutz: ah, great idea! Not sure what the limit is then but I know its a lot! lol | 07:34 |
| === mcasadevall_ is now known as NCommander | ||
| llutz | ade: limit is 15 logical drives with libata irrc | 07:35 |
| llutz | err 12, 3primary+12 logical, something like that. should be enough though | 07:36 |
| ade | llutz: Sure I read somewhere recently that with logical partitions is was possible (at least in theory) to hold something like 162 partitions!? Don;t think I will quite need that many but I like options lol | 07:37 |
| llutz | ade: it has been maximum of 63 "partitions" with IDE but theres a lower limit with SCSI(libata) which is used since a while | 07:38 |
| linocisco | hi all | 07:40 |
| ade | llutz: That will be where I conjured that figure from then :o) Thanks's for the great advice | 07:41 |

| Kartagis | MonkeyDust: no other way? | 07:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Kartagis what other way did you have in mind? | 07:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Kartagis there's also xsane, it's more advanced, more editable | 07:58 |
| llutz | Kartagis: as the name says, its "simple". if you need more options to scan, use xsane | 07:58 |
| Kartagis | MonkeyDust: set a preference or play with some configuration option to scan them brighter? | 07:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Kartagis in xsane, yes | 07:59 |

| Guest70980 | where do i found this !ppa | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | LadyOna: Did you set the password yourself? | 08:38 |
| kifeey | am working on a software for asset monitoring and tracking | 08:38 |
| fidel | Guest70980: you added it - and it should be found in /etc/apt/ | 08:39 |
| ElixirVitae | Hi~ | 08:39 |
| ElixirVitae | I am having trouble mounting a drive | 08:39 |
| bazhang | kifeey, and asset means what? please be VERY clear | 08:39 |
| ElixirVitae | I am using pysdm | 08:39 |
| fidel | !enter > ElixirVitae | 08:39 |
| ubottu | ElixirVitae, please see my private message | 08:39 |
| kifeey | asset means like equipment | 08:39 |
| ElixirVitae | oh-kay | 08:40 |
| bazhang | kifeey, could you please ask your full question, all on one line | 08:40 |
| kifeey | bazhang, i want to develop a use case for asset management and tracking system | 08:41 |
| bazhang | ElixirVitae, thats the gui to help with fstab? | 08:41 |
| bazhang | kifeey, sorry no idea what that means without more details | 08:41 |
| ElixirVitae | I allocated previously unallocated part of my current internal HDD, and make two primary partitions, one ext4 other ntfs. The problem is, while ntfs is mounted at boot time for all users, ext4 is root only. I want to make it available for read/write and tried Storage Device Manager, no dice | 08:42 |
| Guest70980 | fidel sir, please pardon my ignorance i am new to linux and ubuntu where can i find the ppa that i need to delete | 08:42 |
| === lux_ is now known as Guest95060 | ||
| kifeey | bazhang, are u a programmer? | 08:42 |
| ElixirVitae | yes, it is, bazhang | 08:42 |
| twitchie | Guest70980, ppa's should be removed from software-center .. edit->software sources-> other software tab | 08:42 |
| bazhang | kifeey, how does this relate to ubuntu | 08:42 |
| fidel | Guest70980: well somehow you where able to add a ppa in the first place - the bot told you already what a ppa is - and i answered where it it - so what in detail is unclear now? | 08:43 |
| kifeey | just looking for a channel that can address that | 08:43 |
| gordonjcp | kifeey: why reinvent the wheel? | 08:43 |
| gordonjcp | kifeey: contribute to an existing project | 08:43 |
| bazhang | ElixirVitae, so whats the issue? you could also just use an editor to add to fstab | 08:43 |
| kifeey | bazhang, can you link me to any channel that can assist me? | 08:43 |
| bazhang | !alis | kifeey here have a search | 08:44 |
| ubottu | kifeey here have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 08:44 |
| ElixirVitae | my fstab line for ext4 is: /dev/sda3 /media/Storage ext4 group=elixirvitae,users,user,owner 0 0 | 08:44 |
| pranavk | I want to see the size of all the folders that are present in my home directory. Unfortunately 'ls -l' only lists correct size for files not folders. How to computer the size of folders recursively | 08:44 |
| ElixirVitae | but it does not mount and is still only root access | 08:44 |
| Ben64 | pranavk: du -h | 08:44 |
| llutz | ElixirVitae:you use chown/chmod to adjust permissions on ext4, not boot.options in fstab | 08:45 |
| fidel | Guest70980: there are several ways to handle that - either use the software-center as mentioned above - or via cli if you prefer commandline | 08:45 |
| MonkeyDust | ElixirVitae add 'defaults' between ext4 and group | 08:45 |
| ElixirVitae | I tried that as well, llutz | 08:45 |
| Guest70980 | twitchie's response is what i think i should try | 08:45 |
| fidel | Guest70980: yep. if you solved that - ask yourself how you were able to add a ppa without knowing you did so - as it somehow looks like you just entered commands you dont know/understand ...which you never should do ;) | 08:46 |
| Guest70980 | fidel sir, i just copied and pasted what ever sites tell me to do.. | 08:46 |
| pranavk | Ben64: it is giving size of each of the file recursively, I want only collective size of each folder on my home folder. I don't care about the sizes of files/folders inside the home folders. | 08:46 |
| LadyOna | Jordan_U: Yes, I set the password my self! | 08:47 |
| Guest70980 | now how can i remove.. i dont see an option in softwarecentre to edit | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | /away | 08:47 |
| ElixirVitae | like this, MonkeyDust: http://imgur.com/ymcTH | 08:47 |
| Guest70980 | i am talking of ubuntu 12.04 | 08:47 |
| Ben64 | pranavk: check out the man page for du, it has an option for depth | 08:47 |
| fidel | Guest70980: yep - and that is a thing you NEVER should do in the first place | 08:47 |
| ElixirVitae | also, what does it do, defaults line, I mean | 08:47 |
| ptman | hi! where would i get netboot installer images that install lucid but with a newer kernel? | 08:47 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest52361 | ||
| Jordan_U | LadyOna: Knowing some information about the password can help make recovery possible, but it will only be possible if you chose a particularly weak password also. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | ptman, there are none | 08:47 |
| fidel | Guest70980: if someone tells you to take a gun and shoot yourself in the head you dont do it either without thinking about it. no offense - just trying to point out some dangers ;) | 08:47 |
| pranavk | ok | 08:48 |
| kifeey | thanks guys | 08:48 |
| MonkeyDust | ElixirVitae no, without the comma after defaults -- so: ext4 defaults group... | 08:48 |
| ptman | bazhang, well crap | 08:48 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: wrong, options don't have to contain spaces | 08:48 |
| LadyOna | Jordan_U: I tried all possible passwords ... | 08:48 |
| ptman | bazhang, any pointers to how I would make some? | 08:48 |
| MonkeyDust | llutz but it makes it more readable | 08:49 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: it makes fstab corrupt | 08:49 |
| Guest70980 | fidel u are right.. please help , i need to know the entire process and control flow as to how linux / ubuntu works.. like this GPG error i couldnt get to know how to handle until u people have told me.. | 08:49 |
| MonkeyDust | llutz please, don't confuse people | 08:49 |
| Ben64 | LadyOna: there are rar password crackers, but unless its a very short password, it'd probably take too long | 08:49 |
| MonkeyDust | llutz they are tabs, not spaces | 08:50 |
| Guest70980 | i dont know what command to use simply to unstall an applicaiton that i installed either thru software centre synaptics or cli | 08:50 |
| Guest70980 | i'll request yo to be a lil patient and understand | 08:50 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: it makes fstab corrupt, options have to be separated by comma | 08:50 |
| Ben64 | Guest70980: usually "apt-get remove <name>" | 08:50 |
| LadyOna | Ben64: I always use unsense words and digits too | 08:50 |
| ElixirVitae | does that not make <option> = defaults and <dump> = group... MonkeyDust? | 08:51 |
| Kvaks | What's the best way to securely delete (unrecoverable) a file on an SSD with ext4? | 08:51 |
| llutz | ElixirVitae: thats it and its wrong | 08:51 |
| Guest70980 | fidel : why do GPG errors occur in the first place | 08:51 |
| Ben64 | Kvaks: check out "shred" | 08:51 |
| Guest70980 | what would this mean NO_PUBKEY D8AD4DE78EEBB0CA | 08:52 |
| Guest70980 | fidel | 08:52 |
| ElixirVitae | What puzzles me why ntfs is read/write for all users whereas ext4 is only root | 08:52 |
| ElixirVitae | Does it have to do with Linux filesystem permissions? | 08:52 |
| MonkeyDust | llutz falser, no commas in my fstab | 08:52 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: you separate fields in fstab by whitespace/tab but not the contents of the fields. options (field 4) must not contain any space | 08:52 |
| Ben64 | ElixirVitae: permissions, you have to create a folder they own or change permissions on the root directory | 08:52 |
| Kvaks | Ben64: Thanks. | 08:52 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: read "man fstab" | 08:53 |
| ElixirVitae | Well, pysdm does what I do with nano through terminal, and when I say turn back to defaults, it makes <option> line defaults | 08:54 |
| MonkeyDust | please llutz , do you see a comma here UUID=76ca71ff-4090-43b3-9a8a-3af687216d4c /home ext4 defaults 0 2 | 08:54 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: no why should i? you only have 1 OPTION so theres nothing to separate | 08:54 |

| Guest70980 | fidel ?? | 08:56 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: true but why did you tell him then to insert "defaults" before "group...."? | 08:56 |
| ElixirVitae | MonkeyDust, llutz here= http://i.imgur.com/EYPgM.png | 08:56 |
| ElixirVitae | Defaults option makes it root only, MonkeyDust | 08:56 |
| ElixirVitae | which was how it was in the first place | 08:57 |
| llutz | ElixirVitae: you change the permissions with chown/chmod | 08:57 |
| ElixirVitae | I don't want to change it for this boot, llutz, I want it to be persistent | 08:57 |
| llutz | ElixirVitae: it will be persistent | 08:57 |

| ubottu | mach-bar: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 10:08 |
| mach-bar | yes ubottu, but I wanted to check with you guys first... | 10:09 |
| mach-bar | the thing is: kvm host cannot ping6 virtual guest connected via bridge. It says: "ping: sendmsg: Network is down" | 10:10 |
| mach-bar | but the network interfaces are actually connected right when I check with brctl show and the routing information is also correct | 10:10 |
| mach-bar | but what I'm not sure with if it's because I'm using a prefix length of 80 for my net. | 10:11 |
| mach-bar | Is that allowed? | 10:11 |
| MonkeyDust | mach-bar try #networking | 10:13 |

| marun | one of the partition /dev/sda2 is missing in my server.. what might be the reason | 11:27 |
| AdvoWork | i've heard its not great having ssh open on a server that is accessible from the outside world. Currently we have lots of domain names(email) that point to the external ip of our router. SSH is setup on that router, port forwarding > an internal server. Any suggestions of how to improve this? | 11:27 |
| blackshirt | marun, not showed with fdisk -l | 11:27 |
| blackshirt | ? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: its fine to access SSH over the web, you can bolster security by using key files. | 11:28 |
| shomon | how do I add someone to sudoers? just add them to the admin group in /etc/group? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: sudo usermod -a -G sudo username | 11:29 |
| ow | AdvoWork: So wait, as in someone can SSH into your router? Or your router just forwards SSH requests to an internal server? | 11:29 |
| shomon | ooh never seen sudo for more than "gimme" :) | 11:29 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, but if someone does a scan on one of our domains, they can find sssh open right? | 11:29 |
| shomon | thanks | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: next time the user will log in they will be able to use sudo | 11:29 |
| AdvoWork | ow, sorry, i meant port forwarding setup to ssh to a machine on the network | 11:29 |
| === Granis` is now known as Granis | ||
| shomon | hmm I just ran that command but it just said "bla is not in the sudoers file..." | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: yes they will see the service listening for connections | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: you need to run it as someone who can ALREADY use sudo | 11:31 |
| crizis | shomon, alternatively, you can add users to /etc/sudoers | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | crizis: not necessary, plus the user will need access to sudo to edit the file so is counter intuitive | 11:31 |
| sunson | cfhowlett: openshot does exactly what I want. Its _amazing_ :) | 11:31 |
| crizis | duh, you can't add people to groups without sude either | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: if you wish, you can boot to root recovery console and run the command there :) | 11:32 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, so is that not unsafe? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | crizis: you can if they know the pasword on the group :) | 11:32 |
| coolman | hello guys | 11:32 |
| ow | AdvoWork: If you're worried about security, 1) consider running on a different port; 2) in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, set "PasswordAuthentication no" | 11:32 |
| cfhowlett | sunson: openshot is a great tool and developed at an amazing pace. Please share your success with the developers. | 11:32 |
| coolman | i need add time on grub | 11:32 |
| marun | balckshirt: no. fdisk -l doesn't show the partition at all | 11:32 |
| ow | AdvoWork: before doing #2, make sure you have keys set up | 11:32 |
| coolman | where have to change | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: not really no, if you disable logins with passwords and use only keys then the connections will be dropped if they don't have the right key file | 11:32 |

| cfhowlett | sunson: should you feel so inclined. Thanks. | 11:33 |
| shomon | ah so ActionParsnip I should have run that command as my own user, not as root? | 11:33 |
| ow | you do this via running "ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096" on the /client/ machine - the one you want to connect /with/ | 11:33 |
| shomon | as root it said it worked but then didn't but as myself it directly "reported the incident" | 11:33 |
| ow | use the default locations for everything, and then do "ssh-copy-id yourlogin@yourmachine" | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: any user whom can run admin tasks needs to run the command as it changes the access of the user, users cannot add themselves to groups (unless there is a group password and the user has been given the password) | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: so root or any other user in the sudo group can do i | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | it* | 11:34 |
| ow | this creates a special kind of authorization between your machine and the SSHD server, and will avoid the use of passwords altogether once set up | 11:34 |
| shomon | I did it as root.. but it still gave me the error that I'm not in sudoers as the user I meant to add to sudoers | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: if you run: whoami does it say 'root'? | 11:35 |
| shomon | ok will do it again.. this time via adding another entry to (/etc/sudoers | 11:35 |

| shomon | https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https this is good for finding out who sees what when using tor and ssl | 11:55 |
| Boreeas | Tor Browser is just firefox with some modification, right? Just install some addon for firefox which does that | 11:55 |
| shomon | yes. the package is called vidalia, and comes with an adapted firefox and pidgin client | 11:55 |
| shomon | at least I think setting up tor on ubuntu is via "apt-get install vidalia tor" | 11:55 |

| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 11:55 |
| smartboyhw | !tor-sasl | 11:56 |
| ubottu | freenode blocks connections from Tor users on its regular servers. Users registered with nickserv can connect to freenode's Tor hidden service instead; see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor for instructions. For help, ask in #freenode. | 11:56 |
| Wernlq | and why freenode ban tor's IPs? | 11:57 |
| OpenIndianaVbox | Wernlq: ask in #freenode | 11:57 |
| shomon | because people use them for trolling | 11:58 |
| Wernlq | OpenIndiana i think this project is death | 11:58 |
| Wernlq | was | 11:58 |
| OpenIndianaVbox | Wernlq: this channel just deals with ubuntu support | 11:59 |

| ActionParsnip | dandedilia: sweet, known issue. Real pain | 12:36 |
| dandedilia | ActionParsnip, Had the problem now for the first time ... I know modest in future | 12:37 |
| leblebi_21 | is there somebody who use UCK-Ubuntu Customization Kit here? i need to ask if i can use gui based programs on the step which open a terminal by UCK. | 12:37 |
| AdvoWork | am i right in thinking, sudo update-rc.d whatever disable will change the symbolic link from S to K ? ie disable the whatever on boot? and to revert, enable? | 12:38 |
| Danno_ | are there any good on screen keyboards that work at the login screen? ive tried onboard but it doesnt work at login and it doesnt seem to have a lot of non alphabet characters | 12:39 |
| AdvoWork | actually, stop instead of disable | 12:39 |
| dandedilia | Goodbye guys ;) see us by the next problems with ubuntu ;D | 12:40 |
| m3pow | any thoughts on the broadcast message thing ? | 12:41 |
| OpenIndianaVbox | m3pow: yeah, you need to thingy the whatchamacallit | 12:42 |
| leblebi_21 | Can i use gui based programs on the step which UbuntuCustimozationKit open a terminal? | 12:43 |

| BluesKaj | HIyas all | 12:44 |
| MonkeyDust | leblebi_21 please rephrase | 12:44 |
| BebopSteve | m3pow Honestly more context is needed. Are you talking about a -web- browser? If not, are all clients using ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| Nickeeh | I'd like to not see any more screens of "blah blah has close unexpectedly" | 12:44 |
| Nickeeh | Is that a tweak somewhere? | 12:45 |
| m3pow | not all clients use ubuntu, of course not ! | 12:45 |
| Nickeeh | It's hard to google. | 12:45 |
| Stanley00 | Nickeeh: it's called apport service ;) | 12:45 |
| m3pow | or not necesarely into the browser, but maybe like a pop-up to notice them that they have to pay | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Nickeeh: try a different search engine then.... | 12:45 |
| BebopSteve | m3pow Aren't there privacy laws against that | 12:46 |
| m3pow | i dunno BebopSteve, i am also helping a friend. He knows about these privacy things | 12:46 |
| m3pow | that's why i don't have much details | 12:47 |
| leblebi_21 | MonkeyDust: Can i use all command (gui apps) on the step: "You can still select the Run Console Application option to launch a special terminal window. This terminal window represents the live CD environment" http://www.howtogeek.com/109736/how-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-or-usb/ | 12:48 |
| Nickeeh | Stanley00: awesome. You think if I flip enabled=0 in it's conf file my computer will misbehave? | 12:48 |
| BebopSteve | m3pow Well if it isn't a web browser they're communicating with your server in, and you don't own the pc your client is using, you're out of luck as far as I know | 12:48 |
| === LargePrime is now known as Guest8345 | ||

| jilt007 | HOw to see all system connected in my network using arp command | 13:14 |
| AdvoWork | g00denough, i try that, it just shows usage, ie it doesn't accept disable. but this is an old system though :S | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jilt007: you can use: smbtree | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | QuantumQrack: depends on RAM amount and what you are using the OS for really | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | QuantumQrack: the fact it's on a flash drive isn't really a factor | 13:21 |
| jilt007 | ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot! | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | jilt007: or nmap | 13:22 |
| QuantumQrack | ActionParsnip, I want to switch to using Linux instead of Windows. But I want to try it out first. I installed a bootable version on my flash drive, 64bit, but it didnt seem to work. I have an Intel i7 processor, 6 gigs of ram, and SSD, some 1 terabyte hard drives, etc. | 13:23 |
| jilt007 | ActionParsnip: I am familiar with nmap, but how to use smbtree , never heared about this | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jilt007: just run it, then type your user password | 13:23 |
| jilt007 | ActionParsnip: i did that but nothing happend | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jilt007: its to show samba shares but it will show the systems even if they are not sharing stuff | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | QuantumQrack: ok and what is the OS used for? | 13:24 |
| jilt007 | ActionParsnip: Asked for password but not showed the shared or the sytem | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jilt007: thought it'd show the systems on the LAN. oh well | 13:25 |
| QuantumQrack | ActionParsnip--browsing the internet, games ported for linux, chatting on irc, media intensive tasks such as watching movies, tv shows, etc. | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | QuantumQrack: you could use 32bit for that, nothing too intensive there. 64bit will let the OS see your RAM as one block, 32bit with PAE will use it all but each process will have a maximum RAM of 3.2Gb. | 13:26 |
| QuantumQrack | Yeah, I would rather use 64 bit, unless it isnt a very good experience... | 13:27 |
| QuantumQrack | I tried to run 64 bit from the flash drive, but it seemed to get into an endless loop | 13:27 |

| retrorex | does grub reside in boot partition | 13:36 |
| QuantumQrack | yeah, I guess I can redownload. fast connection, shouldnt take too long | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | retrorex: you may need to reinstate grub using liveCD | 13:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | QuantumQrack, Bad ISO, probably; redownload, then md5sum the new ISO to be certain. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | QuantumQrack: thats why you are getting the issue and is why MD5 testing exists | 13:37 |
| retrorex | sad thing my cd drive not working | 13:37 |

| akis | can any one help me to clear my dashboard and specialy 'files and folders' section because some of the /dir they don't exist anymore on my hd. i tried to do a clearness using 'activity log manager' but the /dirs are still there. any idea? | 13:45 |
| g00denough | AdvoWork: i guess it should have been "sudo update-rc.d <service> -f remove && sudo update-rc.d <service> stop 2 3 4 5 ." | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | akis: use the icon that has the yellow arrow going round in a circle under dash | 13:45 |
| akis | do you mean activity log manager? i installed and i used it already, but nothing happened cleaning all the history. | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | akis: yeah you can clean those there as well as tell the logging which apps to ignore too :) | 13:47 |
| AdvoWork | g00denough, whats that going to remove though, isn't thatjust the same as doing the remove in the first place? | 13:48 |
| g00denough | AdvoWork: "remove" removes the links but won't create Kxx links again | 13:49 |
| AdvoWork | g00denough, but what do I do when i need to turn these back on again? | 13:49 |
| g00denough | AdvoWork: this would disable a service until the next update of the package, which would recreate the start-links | 13:49 |
| g00denough | AdvoWork: thats why i suggested sysv-rc-conf, which handles this correct (afaik) | 13:50 |
| === drTerminal is now known as alioguzhan | ||

| pseudonymous | ActionParsnip: I did, along with "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade".. Specifically "apt-get install -f" just informs me of some packages which are installed but no longer needed, it doesn't seem to *do* anything | 14:12 |
| g00denough | AdvoWork: that should work | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pseudonymous: you can clean up with: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 14:13 |
| pseudonymous | ActionParsnip: is it strictly needed to clean away the unused packages, though ? | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pseudonymous: its handy, saves unecessary updates too | 14:14 |
| pseudonymous | Although on a laptop, I have some 300+ GB and the main reason why I run Ubuntu is to have a stable base. I have no use for a few extra megs or anything. What I'm getting at is, is there the slightest chance that these packages could have something else break ? | 14:15 |

| gorgonzola | anyone else having problems with Java in oneiric? I'm getting a "plugin out of date" message in chrome and firefox... | 15:19 |
| OerHeks | gorgonzola, what is the name of the plugin? | 15:20 |
| MonkeyDust | gyre007 every release uses its own package versions | 15:20 |
| zmyrgel | BluesKaj: nope, I just installed ubuntu just fine on a laptop | 15:20 |
| gorgonzola | OerHeks: chrome complains explicitly about icedtea. firefox just dies silently. | 15:20 |
| gyre007 | MonkeyDust, withing the same release... | 15:21 |
| gyre007 | ie upgrade just one package on 11.10 | 15:21 |
| gorgonzola | OerHeks, and hrome sends me to the icedtea wiki | 15:21 |
| gyre007 | not the whole distro | 15:21 |
| gyre007 | neither all packages | 15:21 |
| OerHeks | gorgonzola, chrome renders java by itself, no need for icedtea | 15:21 |
| gorgonzola | OerHeks really? then why is my chrome refusing to run java and blaming the plugin? should i remove icedtea and see what happens? | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | gyre007 I rephrase: each release has its own repos, software from outside the repos is not supported | 15:22 |
| OerHeks | gorgonzola, see the !java factoid howto select your java version | 15:22 |
| OerHeks | !java | 15:22 |
| ubottu | 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. | 15:22 |

| gyre007 | MonkeyDust, so there is no way to upgrade the package youre sayin... | 15:23 |

| MonkeyDust | gyre007 it is, as long as it is in the release's repos | 15:24 |
| AdvoWork | would time stop an rsync, ie: time rsync -azx --stats --progress -numeric-ids --bwlimit=500 /mnt/test/ /mnt/test2 it says "DRY RUN" at the end? | 15:24 |
| gyre007 | dr_willis, i hope it is... | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | but any updates are security updates for thr most part. i dont see why you wouldent update the while system | 15:24 |
| gorgonzola | OerHeks, ok, so java i set java to use open-jdk 7, and restarted chrome, but it still throws the same error. | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | you could just remove/reinstall the app you want to update | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | zmyrgel, guess ubiquity isn't what it used to be | 15:25 |
| OerHeks | gorgonzola, again: chrome renders java by itself, use an other browser | 15:26 |
| gorgonzola | OerHeks: independently of how chrome is known to work, in this machine it is throwing a message about icedtea being out of date. Firefox just doesn't run java, and throws no message. I on't want to use another browser. Do ou think uninstalling icedtea would work? | 15:27 |
| === Guest55365 is now known as mhr3_ | ||
| gorgonzola | OerHeks: rekonq behaves similarly, fyi. | 15:28 |

| gorgonzola | chrome | 15:28 |

| gorgonzola | dr_willis: no browser runs any java plugin, but chrome is the only one that blames icedtea. | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | jrib: i think he gave up. | 15:29 |

| ClientAlive | paths and It did work fine on it's own (before I started trying to do all this other stuff). | 15:51 |
| Evdb | So @ all other people: After about 15 hours of trying I think I managed to install Ubutu on my MacBook Pro. The only problem is that I choose Ubuntu generic in grub and it gives kernel panic$ | 15:51 |
| Evdb | Up until now i've only been able to boot in live, never booted in real installed OS | 15:52 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: Ok I have read the Kernel/Compile page already | 15:52 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: I am supposed to download from kernel.org | 15:52 |
| ikonia | Devin_: then what does it tell you to do | 15:53 |
| ClientAlive | sorry, this is the link to the second "default.prf" file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1224724/ | 15:53 |
| ClientAlive | The other file is "common" | 15:54 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: It seems like in the tutorial it gives you an apt get command and then after you have a linux-source-<versionname> tar.bz2 then its extracted and you have a boot folder | 15:54 |
| _XMENDES | how i list programs in use? | 15:55 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: But the tar.bz2 I downloaded and extracted from kernel.org does not have the boot folder | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Devin_: with respet, I think this is out of your current abilities grasp, and I'd not go for the extra credit | 15:55 |
| ring0 | _XMENDES, top | 15:55 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: So I can't find the config | 15:55 |
| _XMENDES | tks :) | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Devin_: that's not how it works, I think this is a little beyond your experience at this time | 15:55 |
| Ishitva | dr_willis: Juze : auronandace : Thanks for your help friends , I am going offline right now , I will come back whenever I need you guidance ! | 15:56 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: you should say what the errors are | 15:56 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: well let me ask you this, if you HAD to do a kernel update from kernel.org, how would you start after downloading your zipped package and extracting | 15:56 |
| dr_willis | !kernel > Devin_ | 15:57 |
| ubottu | Devin_, please see my private message | 15:57 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: Also I know that I am new to linux/unix/ubuntu but I am not new to troubleshooting and computers, and I am still enjoying myself and thats what matters so I appreciate your advice but I would like to continue | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Devin_: I'd say "you're trying ot get me to do your home work for you for extra credit" - that's what I'd say | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | start by reading the bots urls it gave you. ;) | 15:57 |
| jrib | Devin_: the page on the wiki has instructions for building a kernel from git. I suggest you follow those, trying to understand all of it. Then after you've done that, I think you will know what to do. If not, you can come back and ask for more details | 15:57 |
| OerHeks | Devin_, i would read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#C.29_Download_the_source_package but you don't want to, so you earn no points. | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Devin_: troubleshooting computers and troubleshooting linux are nothing like the same so have no relevence | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Devin_: compiling the kernel is an advacned topic - so I suggest you not attempt it at this time, more so as you're struggling to grasp the fundementals listed on the introduction page | 15:58 |
| Devin_ | OerHeks: I don't have a debian folder though | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Devin_: because you go the kernel from kernel.org | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | err.. make one? | 15:58 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: ok, well the last thing I did was write a line at the top of the file: "local_sync_storage.prf" then try to run that profile throught the unison gui. The line I added was "include common" The error I get is: garbled line, no =" Then I went back into that file and put an = in between so the line looks like: "include = common" and the error I get is: "File "local_sync_storage", line 32: `include' is not a valid option" | 15:58 |
| ikonia | whch is not what the instructions say | 15:58 |
| d3bug | hello ppl | 15:58 |
| janusian | Hi, | 15:59 |
| genii-around | !mainline | 15:59 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 15:59 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: you should not have an "=" in the include line | 15:59 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: and let me just say im sorry, I don't want you to do my hw, I am just looking for some advice, I don't mean to be rude | 15:59 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: The reason is before I wrote that line in "local_sync_storage.prf" when there was no include at all) unison would say there is no merge set for the profile. | 15:59 |
| ikonia | Devin_: the advice is writen in that web page | 15:59 |
| ikonia | Devin_: it walks you through it, but it does assume you have a certain level of understanding | 16:00 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: I've tried both ways (the way without the = as well) | 16:00 |
| TiZ | Hi. I work for a law college, and we purchased a Planar PT3285PW touchscreen to use with an ubuntu-powered web kiosk. The problem is, the touchscreen works fine for a few minutes, but then stops sending mouse button events. If you plug in a regular mouse, clicks from it don't work either. What's going on here? | 16:00 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: how are you calling unison? | 16:00 |
| janusian | I'm experiencing a series of problems with running Ubuntu 12.04 on an Asus M5A78L-M motherboard. Most of them seem to be with respect to the on-board ATI Radeon HD3000 and Ubuntu's various drivers for it (both open source and proprietary). | 16:00 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: I know I keep reading different pages, but nothing is an exact walkthrough of what I am trying to do, all of that is based off of you using the apt get command which gives you a boot folder and a config file, my downloaded folder from kernel.org has non of that | 16:00 |
| ClientAlive | through the gui right now but want to add cron jobs once I get all the kinks worked out. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | Devin_: because there is no walk through, it requires EXPERIENCE | 16:01 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: where do you specify the roots? | 16:01 |
| ClientAlive | in the "local_sync_storage.prf" file. | 16:01 |
| janusian | On first install, the system was working ok and, gave me the option to install "Additional Drivers". I went ahead and did that. After that point, I can't get video to playback properly. | 16:01 |
| ikonia | Devin_: the instructions don't tell you to download from kernel.org - so why are you ignoring the instructions and doing that ? | 16:01 |
| ikonia | Devin_: follow the instructions | 16:01 |
| ikonia | Devin_: however I suspect you will still struggle/fail because it requires a basic level of experience at least | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Devin_: that's not a put down, that's just a reality check | 16:02 |
| janusian | The screen flickers, whenever I move between desktops and generally, I am getting a crap graphics experience.. | 16:02 |
| jrib | honestly, it only understands reading and thinking about what is read :x | 16:02 |
| janusian | I've looked online, but I can't seem to find any answers for reverting my ubuntu back to its initial state | 16:02 |
| Marezz | Howdy folks | 16:02 |
| Devin_ | ikonia: No, I know its not the way it instructs me to, my assignment requiresme to | 16:02 |
| janusian | (I tried purging the fglrx) | 16:02 |
| ikonia | Devin_: then you can't get it done. | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | janusian, did you reboot after installing the drivers ? i have to ask | 16:03 |
| ikonia | Devin_: you don't get extra credit. | 16:03 |
| Marezz | whats the name of the default 10.04 LTS theme? | 16:03 |
| ikonia | Devin_: good effort for trying, but it's a little out of reach at this time | 16:03 |
| janusian | BluesKaj, yep, I've been trying out various drivers/"solutions" | 16:03 |
| Marezz | booted 10.04 lts yesterday, man how it looked great | 16:03 |
| QuantumQrack | Can somebody help me please: I am trying to get ubuntu desktop 64bit to boot off a usb stick. When it tries to load, it goes through the loading process then eventually I get a message "rebooting in 30 seconds" and it reboots...and never really loads. Just reboots, tries to load, get the rebooting message, the reboot, load, etc etc. Will this not load on an overclocked CPU? | 16:03 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: the "default.prf" file contains only one line "include = common" and I've tried that withouth the = too. The common file has just a list of preferences set (stuff like merge and mergebatch and so on | 16:03 |
| Devin_ | Ok I am going to follow jribs advice and see if I can read the tutuorial about upgrading from git and see if that helps at all | 16:03 |
| jrib | Devin_: ignore the assignment for now and do it the way the page says... so you can learn something :) Then it will be easier | 16:04 |
| Devin_ | jrib: thanks | 16:04 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: but you need to specify what paths you want unison to operate on | 16:04 |
| Marezz | whats the name of the default 10.04 LTS theme? | 16:04 |
| janusian | Ubuntu just doesn't seem to like any of the graphics cards I have. I used to use an nvidia card, but that wasn't compatible with Compiz (so didn't do anything fancy) and now this ati is compatible, but it retards my whole system as a result. | 16:04 |

| Evdb | After about 15 hours of trying I think I managed to install Ubutu on my MacBook Pro. The only problem is that I choose Ubuntu generic in grub and it gives kernel panic | 16:05 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: I don't think you've pastebinned that (your original message had 2 identical URLs) | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | janusian, some ppl have had success with the proprietary divers for ATI/Radeon from their website , but I'm not sure if that would apply in your case | 16:05 |

| Juze | Generic wget question: Does wget support URL wildcards and how? | 16:06 |
| janusian | BluesKaj, I am currently running the proprietary drivers ... They have corrected the problem with video (for VLC anyway, totem doesn't work at all). | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | janusian, you should need to use compiz on the newer ubuntu OSs | 16:06 |
| deadmund | Marezz: What do you mean? | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | should not rather , janusian | 16:06 |
| janusian | The problem now is the tearing between desktop switching and the generally poor animation of window drags and such | 16:07 |
| Marezz | deadmund: I think I read somewhere that they wont release drivers for it anymore | 16:07 |
| deadmund | Marezz: Oh! I think you mean they won't update the driver for it anymore. | 16:07 |
| janusian | BluesKaj, I was under the assumption that they would be robust enough to try out - with my newer system (my old system was under powered and quite antiquated). | 16:07 |
| brandt | downloaded update of tor pkg and not sure if it updated on it's own | 16:07 |
| janusian | I really wouldn't have messed about with Compiz, if I had known this before hand... a lesson in the learning, really. | 16:08 |
| cmcintosh | is there a way to connect multiple monitors / keyboards to a single desktop and have each running its own session | 16:08 |
| cmcintosh | so like each has its own xwindows display | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | janusian, yes , VLC ftw , definitely , but isn't compiz a bit long in the tooth for newer systems ? | 16:09 |
| janusian | BluesKaj, dunno, I just wanted to use the "fancy" desktop cube and rotate functions | 16:09 |
| janusian | as a result I ended up messing up my system | 16:09 |
| brandt | need cmnd line for download update install | 16:10 |
| janusian | I'm now wondering how to get rid of compiz and get back to my initial state. | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | janusian, doesn't unity provide that without compiz? , KDE does | 16:10 |
| OpenIndianaVbox | BluesKaj: unity uses compiz by default | 16:10 |
| zykotick9 | OpenIndianaVbox: actually, unity is a compiz plugin | 16:11 |
| Evdb | bekks: you here? | 16:11 |
| janusian | BluesKaj, I was under the impression that compiz was necessary to do such things. | 16:11 |

| zykotick9 | OpenIndianaVbox: unity2d is a dead project 12.10 won't have it... | 16:16 |
| Reaga | IMO, amazon is a company and no company should have business involved with ubuntu. its against linux philosophy | 16:17 |
| bazhang | Reaga, thats enough. | 16:17 |
| OpenIndianaVbox | zykotick9: as of 12.10 yes, but to say unity is just a compiz plugin is a gross oversimplification | 16:17 |

| Guest74988 | I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I try to install the additional drivers for my ATI card but Ubuntu will not install them.. and comes back with that I should check the /var/log/jockey.log | 17:02 |

| crizis | Guest74988: are you trying to install the 'updated' version of the driver? | 17:02 |
| dr_willis | you did look at the log? it may explain the problem Guest74988 | 17:03 |
| Guest74988 | and does Ubuntu have a default IRC client? if so.. which program might that be? | 17:03 |
| crizis | dr_willis, nah, it's broken for fgrlx-updates package | 17:03 |
| Guest74988 | crizis: post release | 17:03 |
| dr_willis | the default im client in ubuntu can do irc | 17:03 |
| Guest74988 | dr_willis: I did but I cannot understand the issues | 17:04 |
| crizis | Guest74988: yeah exactly that one. it won't work. you can install that version from command line though: "sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates" | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | then theres freendodes web chat | 17:04 |
| crizis | Guest74988: non-post-update version does install with additional drivers, but if you're not afraid of that one apt line, install newer ones ^^ | 17:04 |
| Guest74988 | crizis: oke and do I need special PPA's for that too? | 17:04 |
| crizis | nope | 17:04 |
| crizis | stable driver is catalyst 11.8, fglrx-updates ("post release") is catalyst version 12.4 | 17:05 |
| Guest74988 | crizis: oke thanx I will try! | 17:05 |
| crizis | .. then just boot after it's done | 17:06 |
| Guest74988 | crizis: fglrx-updates is already the newest version | 17:06 |
| Guest74988 | oke I need to go for a sec.. am back in a few mins | 17:06 |

| OpenIndianaVbox | !lamp | intrader | 18:05 |
| ubottu | intrader: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 18:05 |

| bekks | devin_: You didnt - then you'd know that you dont have to mess around uname -r at all. | 18:05 |
| usr13 | Guest51195: Ok forget it, (I just got here). Take it up with youtube or vlc, (it's not a Ubuntu issue more-than-likely). | 18:05 |
| xangua | !mainline | devin_ get your new kernel, be happy :) | 18:05 |
| ubottu | devin_ get your new kernel, be happy :): The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 18:05 |

| Guest51195 | usr13, I told you that mplayer also fails so I am not sure does it any more or likely vlc issue. | 18:07 |
| xangua | bazhang: he only wants to install a recent kernel or to cheat his teacher by 'changing the output of uname -r', does not¿ | 18:07 |
| intrader | Thanks for your help and info! | 18:07 |
| bazhang | xangua, not quite, no | 18:07 |
| bekks | devin_: However - the output of uname -r is not configurable, whatever your assignment is. And all the rest is described in the links you have been given, as I was told. | 18:08 |
| devin_ | xangua: I already did that, I am not doing this for functionality, I am doing this for a project.

| b0ot | Looking for a piece of server software that can allow messaging/files transfer from user to one or more users on a private LAN (no net access). These servers will be going on and offline frequently and so will the users, so if the user goes offline the messages they missed will be sent to them when they log back on. The users will connect to the closest server when they logon to get any missed messages. If servers get disconnected from one another when th | 18:33 |

| mbeierl_ | BluesKaj, wget goes into ~/Downloads? It goes into the current directory unless you explicitly give it a name to use | 20:13 |

| VlanZ | GregoryFenton: sorry for my ignorance, but how do i make this script to run at startup? | 22:00 |

| Kingsy | atop will let you narrow down which application is using the most resources. If its apache for example. You can start narrowing down which apache service it is. Could be a php leak or something | 22:13 |

| Kingsy | man this channel is crazy today.. how can this many people be in and out.. | 22:19 |
| SparksIT2 | Okay, so I remonted the drive as /media/storage...but I don't have the rights to create folders via the File manager, it says only Root has access | 22:19 |
| |Anthony| | i don't have any hair left to pull out | 22:19 |
| genii-around | SparksIT2: The root filesystem of the drive will always be owned by root. For other users, make a folder in there and make it owned recursively by the user who is allowed to use it. | 22:21 |
| rufsketch1 | I'm confused as to how no one knows how to do this? Is there really no way to install 32-bit nvidia drivers on 64-bit ubuntu? Are all OpenGL based programs in wine now completely off limits? | 22:22 |
| sblahhh | bonsoir ^ | 22:22 |
| SparksIT2 | So do I modify for all user to have all user to have Read\Write access/ | 22:22 |

| XMENDES | my port xxxx is closed on firewall to win.. how i open this?? | 22:23 |
| Estragon | Kingsy: my hosting provider already monitors load but I have no indication on what process uses CPU, any idea on something to track heavy consuming processes ? | 22:23 |
| XMENDES | my port xxxx is closed on firewall to in.. how i open this?? | 22:23 |
| D[4]ni | SparksIT2: try not to do that, if you don't really depend on it. rather set the appropiate user/group as owner | 22:23 |
| |Anthony| | rufsketch1, i know it asks if you want to install them if you install the binary from the nvidia download page | 22:23 |
| |Anthony| | !ufw | XMENDES | 22:24 |
| ubottu | XMENDES: 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. | 22:24 |

| === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks | ||
| D[4]ni | SparksIT2: you can still create a new group, set it as the owning group for your directory, and put all the users that need access to the folder in it. | 22:24 |
| Estragon | Kingsy: yup but I have only seen "global" stats, does it provide per process stats too ? | 22:25 |
| Estragon | if so, sorry :) | 22:25 |
| rufsketch1 | |Anthony|: Alright, I'll try re-installing then | 22:25 |
| rufsketch1 | though I don't remember it asking me that | 22:25 |
| rufsketch1 | |Anthony|: do you know how I can check if the 32-bit compat binaries are already installed? | 22:25 |
| beta | hi everyone im running ubuntu from a usb stick how can i make it a installation that i can run on any pc instead of just the iso file | 22:26 |
| Kingsy | Estragon: that is the whole point in atopsar. sar is global load. atopsar shows actual processes | 22:26 |
| Estragon | nice ! | 22:26 |
| |Anthony| | rufsketch1, may i ask why you are looking into it? does something not work for you? | 22:26 |
| Estragon | thanks | 22:27 |
| rufsketch1 | |Anthony|: yes. Trying to run Amnesia in wine (which has a platinum compatibility rating) returns this | 22:27 |

| zodiak | actually, virtualbox maybe good enough to play amnesia | 22:32 |
| YoungOwl | Quantos brasileiros no local | 22:33 |
| zodiak | rufsketch1, vt-d (which is required to pass the video card through) doesn't work on k class cpu's | 22:33 |
| rufsketch1 | zodiak: ah, I see | 22:33 |
| zodiak | yeah.. but.. you maybe able to use virtualbox to play amnesia.. it's not a new game | 22:33 |
| rufsketch1 | zodiak: welp. That decision to splurge sure came to bite me back in the ass :-P | 22:33 |
| zodiak | sorry :( | 22:33 |
| rufsketch1 | zodiak: still, I kind of want wine to work for other reasons | 22:34 |
| rufsketch1 | zodiak: do you know of any way to check if the 32-bit compat libraries are already installed? | 22:34 |
| rufsketch1 | for nvidia? | 22:34 |
| zodiak | dpkg -l | grep -i i386 | 22:34 |
| zodiak | assuming you are on 64bit linux here, of course, you shouldn't see too many of those i386 packages ;) | 22:35 |

| FireStorms | usr13, I know better than nothing though | 23:15 |

| Ganharb | Hey guys super nub question im sure ... when i run certian things in the terminal you know how you get the package configuration .. like an agreement ... but its like another layer inside of terminal .. and at the bottom it says " <ok> but its not clickable ... i need to accept theese things but i cant figure out how lol | 23:17 |
| jrib | Ganharb: I imagine using proper punctuation would make it much easier to understand what you are asking | 23:18 |
| usr13 | FireStorms: You are probablyy better off to fix what you have. | 23:18 |
| VlanZ | GregoryFenton: sorry man, regarding the script in bin/bash that i asked before, how do i get it do write again the same file after "sleep 900" ? | 23:18 |
| jrib | Ganharb: try tab and space or enter | 23:18 |
| Ganharb | AAha! tab was the magic i needed... | 23:19 |
| Ganharb | tyty | 23:19 |
| FireStorms | usr13, thanks but that's the thing that ruined bluetooth for me :D | 23:19 |

| VlanZ | GregoryFenton: yeah thanks again man, very appreciated!!! :) | 23:22 |
| GregoryFenton | VlanZ, you may find that changing 900 to a lower amount will help if it still timeouts | 23:22 |

| awc737 | wtf is wrong with freenode today | 23:37 |
| Danno_ | @jrib only with one of the buttons | 23:38 |

| veryhappy | is here also a room named linux mint or such thing? | 23:38 |
| zruty | How can I tell my eth0 is connected at 1 GB/s speed? | 23:39 |
| awc737 | yeah there is veryhappy, but they have their own server which is dumb | 23:39 |
| edve | speedtest | 23:39 |
| awc737 | they should be on freenode | 23:39 |
| jrib | Danno_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys try this | 23:39 |
| veryhappy | awc737: we ARE on freenode i think? | 23:39 |
| edve | or the valid driver | 23:39 |
| awc737 | we are, you asked about linux mint | 23:40 |
| veryhappy | ok doesn't matter | 23:40 |
| awc737 | linux mint does not have a # on freenode, they have their own server and #s | 23:40 |
| veryhappy | awc737: i just have a general problem: the linux mint installer won't start on linux mint | 23:40 |
| jrib | !mintsupport | veryhappy | 23:40 |
| ubottu | veryhappy: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:40 |
| edve | fuck linux mint | 23:40 |
| jrib | edve: please be nice | 23:40 |
| edve | hehe | 23:40 |

| zodiak | zruty, mii-tool does that | 23:41 |
| jrib | veryhappy: because mint makes changes. We don't know about them. The mint channel does. | 23:41 |
| veryhappy | ok | 23:42 |
| zodiak | zruty, or ethtool | 23:42 |
| veryhappy | have a nice day. bye | 23:42 |
| zruty | zodiak: Thanks! I will try that | 23:42 |
| jrib | Danno_: the key that you saw pop up ok on xev should be ready to use with something like xbindkeys for example. For the others, you'll have to follow the wiki instructions | 23:42 |
| Danno_ | @jrib ill give it a go, cheers! :-) | 23:43 |
| Smackbook | so i guess if you spend $1000 on a new ultrabook and linux doesnt support the wifi drivers you have to use windows or throw it in the trash | 23:43 |
| jrib | Smackbook: do you have a support question related to ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| zruty | zodiak: Works perfectly! Thanks again! | 23:44 |
| zodiak | Smackbook, or buy a mini usb dongle | 23:44 |
| zodiak | zruty, not a problem | 23:44 |
| bloodriver | does anyone know an alternative Firefox add-on to 'Siphon'? | 23:45 |
| zodiak | no idea what siphon is | 23:46 |
| Scunizi_ | I had a snafu and ended up uninstalling LibreOffice (current from site) and reverting back to the older repo version. Now the save dialogue is GTK based and ugly (in KDE/Kubuntu). How do I get the kde decorations back for it? Everything else looks good..( Kubutnu 11.10) | 23:46 |
| Danno_ | also, is there any way to make ubuntu treat a long press on the screen as a right click? | 23:46 |
| bloodriver | Siphon is a firefox add-on that syncs ALL of your addons | 23:47 |
| xangua | bloodriver: doesn't firefox sync already do that¿ | 23:47 |
| Danno_ | also, is there any way to make ubuntu treat a long press on the screen as a right click? | 23:47 |
| bloodriver | Use Siphon to install you fav addons from on computer to another | 23:48 |
| bloodriver | firefox syncs bookmarks, not add-ons | 23:48 |
| Dr_willis | if you are going to spend $1000 for a ultrabook for linux, you should do some research first. | 23:48 |
| bloodriver | Siphon server seems to be down | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | Err.. Firefox I think synced addons also. | 23:49 |
| Smackbook | i guess nobody saw me complaining about my wifi not working since I got disconnected ;( | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | This is a support channel. not a complaint channel. | 23:50 |
| Smackbook | well i'm looking for suggestions | 23:50 |
| Smackbook | if there are any other than give up on ubuntu | 23:50 |
| brightspark | Smackbook, normally when I install linux on a laptop, I need to connect using ethernet in order to download the restricted driver that enables my wifi | 23:50 |
| === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki | ||
| zodiak | Smackbook, again.. usb dongle | 23:50 |
| zodiak | all $8 of it | 23:50 |
| awc737 | does cinnamon work in ubu? | 23:50 |
| Smackbook | zodiak: after spending a grand on an ultrabook i dont want a junky usb dongle hanging out | 23:51 |
| Smackbook | but i guess thats a solution | 23:51 |
| zodiak | it's TEENY | 23:51 |
| zodiak | like almost flush | 23:51 |
| Smackbook | hmm | 23:51 |
| xangua | awc737: you have instructions on it's site http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ unsupported here | 23:51 |
| Smackbook | ok then i guess I will look into it | 23:51 |
| Dr_willis | awc737, its not officially supported here. | 23:51 |
| Danno_ | also, is there any way to make ubuntu treat a long press on the screen as a right click? | 23:51 |
| edve | Maybe you could google that... | 23:52 |
| awc737 | is there anything for ubu that is supported, which isn't shitty UNity? | 23:52 |
| awc737 | excuse my lang | 23:52 |
| edve | try gnome | 23:52 |
| Smackbook | awc737: gnome terminal | 23:52 |
| awc737 | but also I don't mean a different desktop, I mean gnome based | 23:52 |
| Smackbook | i mean classic | 23:52 |
| bloodriver | i understand firefox addon sync is coming...but has it arrived yet? which version? | 23:52 |
| awc737 | gnome terminal? | 23:52 |
| Smackbook | theres also xfce and mint | 23:52 |
| awc737 | i mean anything gtk3 base | 23:52 |
| edve | Try gnome , or if you have a low powered pc try Xubuntu | 23:53 |
| xangua | bloodriver: a long time ago | 23:53 |
| edve | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 23:53 |
| Smackbook | but gnome classic is the most usable | 23:53 |
| edve | i know | 23:53 |
| awc737 | it's not a low powered pc, and I need gtk3 support | 23:53 |
| edve | then try mate | 23:53 |
| Smackbook | awc737: gnome-classic | 23:53 |
| bloodriver | how do i get addon sync to work? | 23:53 |
| Smackbook | its gnome2 interface built on gtk3 | 23:53 |
| edve | it's an gnome 2 like environement | 23:53 |
| Smackbook | ubuntu has lots its majority share to Mate because of unity | 23:54 |
| Smackbook | from what I heard | 23:54 |
| edve | gnome classic < mate | 23:54 |
| induz | hello | 23:54 |
| edve | hi induz | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | Mate is the kind of 'project' that could die off very quickly... | 23:55 |
| bloodriver | how do i get addon sync to work? | 23:55 |
| bloodriver | how do i get addon sync to work? | 23:55 |
| Smackbook | i have tried mate, xfce, and gnome classic and IMO gnome classic is the most supported, compatible, familiar one | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | bloodriver, i just used the sync feature of firefox to sync to my accouts and it synced everything with my windows machine, and my phone. | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | 'most supported' is no longer valid. and 'compatible' is also debateable. | 23:56 |
| aguitel_ | Dr_willis, why this? | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | aguitel_, why what.. | 23:56 |
| bloodriver | gonna research this...be back | 23:56 |
| jhkier | Good day to you all :) | 23:56 |
| aguitel_ | Dr_willis, mate die | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | bloodriver, i did notice that the default firefox in Ubuntu has that 'sync' buttons not shown on the default home page. | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | aguitel_, its a 3rd party fork. when the main devs get bored with it. it could die off very fast. Ive seen many other projects die off . Like the 'keep kde3 alive project' or some other projects ive seen over the last decade. | 23:57 |
| awc737 | awesome | 23:58 |
| awc737 | is this gnome-classic gnome? | 23:58 |
| awc737 | i mean new* | 23:58 |
| awc737 | i am surprised i never heard of gnome-classis, with how much i like ubu but despise unity | 23:58 |
| awc737 | is it pretty comparable to linux mint mate? | 23:58 |
| FloodBot1 | awc737: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:58 |
| Smackbook | awc737: its the old gnome, built on the new gnome | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Unity is getting some very neat features in 12.10 and will only i imagine will get better with each new release. | 23:59 |
| boldfilter | Unity sucks dick | 23:59 |
| Smackbook | Dr_willis: unfortunatly unity will always be the tablet interface nobody ever wanted on their desktop | 23:59 |
| zodiak | xfce ftw :) | 23:59 |
