[00:00] q [00:00] 3.1415* [00:00] 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] 3.14159 [00:00] ugh, if desktop effects works with low fps, how could it not work with a 140 fps? [00:01] ive got a computer that uses 60 fps, and runs smooth on neverball, and works great with desktop affects === michael is now known as Guest58950 [00:01] 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] AmarokNelg: I believe that GLX is running, but the rendering is happeing through software [00:02] Even a very old and basic opengl hardware card can do better than 140fps on glxgears [00:02] Oh btw, i didn't see anything about cpu on the document you gave me [00:02] look at page 10 [00:02] sorry, page 13 [00:03] "maximum cpu..." [00:05] yeah, then the document is wrong, cause even i get 100% cpu taken on a non-accelerated system [00:05] 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 [00:07] AmarokNelg: I don't. I have an old laptop with i915 graphics that doesn't use more than 2% cpu [00:07] AmarokNelg: What GPU do you have? [00:08] GPU? [00:08] yeah, what video card do you have? [00:08] oh [00:09] Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF [00:09] wow, that's an oooollldd card [00:10] what cpu do you have? [00:10] it had 3d acceleration... untill it resently got on the "Deprecated Systems and Drivers" list [00:10] that's at least a 10 year old card [00:10] i have an old computer too [00:10] cpu is only 1.6 GB of speed [00:11] Infact, it used to be pretty fast [00:11] what cpu is it? [00:11] Idk [00:11] k6-II 266 MHz? :) [00:11] All i know thats its 1.6 GB of speed [00:12] yeah you could probably upgrade that card for 10 dollars and get 3D acceleration back [00:12] ?????? [00:12] how? [00:13] 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] for 10 or 20 dollars total cost [00:13] I also have a diamond card. Want me to use that? It only is 640x480 instead of 1280x1024!! [00:14] Diamond? wow that is really really old. That's probably a TNT/TNT2 [00:14] altho, its missing... [00:14] That will not work on a modern linux system with good support [00:14] is your system a desktop? [00:15] yes :P [00:16] You could probably buy an entire new system for < $100 That was much much faster and had a supported video driver [00:17] Oh your kidding. Why the heck would i do that [00:17] After i fixed this system up [00:17] whats the thunderbird chat like? [00:17] anyone using it [00:18] amaroklng, is your graphic card support for 3d? [00:18] Used to be [00:18] 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] ts on the deprecated list now [00:19] In 10 years from now, im sure id be using the old mesa drivers [00:19] 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] and that card is only about 7 years old [00:19] infact, i should downgrade so this ill work right [00:19] amaroknelg, if your graphic was not capable to run 3d .... [00:20] blackshirt: :| [00:20] Ok ill be installin the old drivers [00:20] AmarokNelg: let me know if they work, I'm interested to see... [00:21] i think maybe better you stick with the suite one...i mean the old one... [00:23] unfortunly, to keep from upgrading th drivers automaticly (removing the gl support), ill have to pin it in synaptic [00:24] it would be fun if i could edit debian packages, that would make my life alot easyer on computers [00:25] amaroknelg,tehbically you can do it [00:25] really? [00:25] theyre always the cancerous growth. [00:25] tehnically === usuario__ is now known as assafasfasfasf [00:26] i should know how === assafasfasfasf is now known as PabloRS [00:26] I plan to make my own operating system based off of debian... === christian is now known as Guest7863 [00:26] amaroknelg, what do you want to edit ?? Some meta data or bianry one? [00:27] amaroknelg, thats a great step [00:27] if you want to change binary, you sohould recompile it from sources [00:28] making a different package name... Like libgl1-mesa-dri-old [00:28] and the description for older videocard support or somethin lkie that [00:29] 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? [00:32] Hello everyone [00:32] i cant downgrade my driver. It would remove X and its drivers [00:32] how can I see which packages I have installed? more specifically which driver version of the ATI drivers i'm running. [00:32] amaroknelg, you should learn related to debian packaging [00:32] driver version of the ATI drivers - really? check lspci [00:33] that doesn't tell me the driver version [00:33] amaroknelg, downgrade was not recommended [00:33] Oh [00:33] Srry [00:33] yeah... [00:34] xserver-xorg-video-r128 [00:34] X.Org X server -- ATI r128 display driver [00:34] wait [00:34] thats if you have ati rage 128 [00:34] yeah I don't have an xserver command [00:34] ?? [00:35] I don't have the xserver command [00:35] ts suppost to be in your package manager [00:35] synaptic? [00:35] I'm running 3 ATI 6950s [00:35] i'm using a shell [00:35] is synaptic ncurses based?

[00:39] no problem L3top =) [00:40] hey folks, how do I open terminal? [00:40] 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! [00:41] <|Anthony|> defaultro, open the dash and type terminal. it should come up in there [00:42] Can someone do me a quick favor. [00:43] not without more information TreaverHoerig :P [00:43] L3top are you on Ubuntu 12.04 [00:43] I am on a lot of things. [00:44] I can get to an ubu precise if need be. [00:44] ah, i have to type it :) trying it now [00:44] what's the deefault root password [00:44] !root [00:44] 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 [00:45] There is no spoon. [00:45] Is anyone here on Ubuntu 12.04 I need a few files from the Icons folder if someone could help. [00:45] Can anyone here answer a question about Adobe Flash Player Plugin? [00:45] !anyone [00:45] 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. [00:46] TreaverHoerig: why not boot a live cd a copy what you need [00:46] 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. [00:47] 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] 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? [00:48] * n0sq wishes that they'd make mail servers easier to use [00:49] mmediaman: is it Firefox-only, or does flash work in other browsers? [00:49] 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] L3top Idk how to do that. I just copied over the files trying to follow instructions to change the icons [00:50] But it was for 12.10 and I didn't realize it [00:50] something is wrong. I was able to acquire ip address from my wifi. However, it cannot ping it. [00:50] I haven't tried Flash from another browser, only FF that came with Ubuntu install. [00:50] mmediaman: how did you install flash? [00:50] 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 [00:51] Software Center and also tried using Flash-Aid [00:51] 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] Machine is Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. [00:51] bb [00:52] Can someone please help me out and get me those 3 folders. [00:52] pinging is also very intermittent, it responds with destination host unreachable and later it would respond [00:52] something is wrong with the network driver :( [00:52] Strange thing also is that when I visit adobe.com to download Flash, there is no DOWNLOAD button anywhere to be found.

I can't even boot into single user mode to try grub-repair etc. [01:27] garthk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:27] garthk: can you acess the FS? if not, you're pretty much out of luck [01:28] garthk: chroot the install [01:28] garthk: from live boot [01:28] garthk, Have you taken a look here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenProposed [01:28] toafan, looks delicious [01:28] I mean boot-repair, my bad [01:28] toafan, ITS IN THE REPOS [01:29] --sorry caps [01:29] anyone know how to bind Alt-Space to the window menu (or operations menu?) in KDE/KWin? [01:29] Ok, trying live boot per L3top. [01:33] what could be my ubuntu doing? it's bringing down my wireless connections? [01:33] i turned it off and everything is stable now [01:33] defaultro, can you describe more detail? [01:33] defaultro; it's own? or everyone else's ? [01:34] 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 [01:35] then, my kids went to me and all of them asked "is the internet down" LOL [01:35] 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] Hmm. Maybe -- will help. [01:35] defaultro; so it's bringing down everyone else's connections? [01:36] the wifi on my ubuntu is very intermittent [01:36] defaultro, ya can connect to some wifi connection available,but can't go to browse? [01:36] /bin/bash not found… kernel panic! [01:36] defaultro,is your dns setup correctly? [01:36] garthk,look bad [01:37] garthk: some things should be mounted prior to attempting chroot... but yeah... that looks bad. [01:38] garthk: I assumed you mounted the install... can you browse it? [01:38] 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] 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 [01:39] 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] 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] L3top, I can boot the Ubuntu install process but not pop a shell so I can repair the existing install. [01:40] L3top: how can i set my main desktop and login manager to XFCE4? [01:40] 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] why doesn't super+n invert virtualbox? [01:40] Iver also trie4d install b43-fwcutter, but that did nothing [01:40] or if someone else can answer that question that would be great [01:41] toafan the new wlan driver is working now though! [01:41] Smaxie, I would assume the actual card might help, does this command show it. lspci | grep Broadcom [01:41] With this live DVD download predicted to take an absurd 8h, though, I guess reinstall-from-scratch is my best option. [01:41] ya it does [01:41] \ [01:41] tortib: check /etc/X11/default-display-manager [01:41] one sec [01:41] tortib, if it's installed, then logout and choose the 'gear icon' [01:41] And, figuring out what an unbeatable grub conf looks like, and setting up Nagios to warn me if the box looks unbootable. [01:41] garthk; there's no law saying you must update your kernel every time there's a new patch available [01:42] garthk: you are in a dangerous position. Are you able to successfully mount the suspect drive/ [01:42] jagginess: where is this 'gear' icon? [01:42] ? [01:42] i'm on 11.10 [01:42] Its a BCM411 [01:42] tortib what happens when you boot? don't you get to choose a desktop? [01:42] Broacom 802.11/b/g [01:42] i have auto login set for one of my accounts [01:42] tortib, select username, then click the gear icon beside your name.. [01:42] it logs into gdm automatically [01:42] i don't want to have to do that every time though [01:42] I have the wifi switch to on, btw [01:42] 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. [01:43] 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] tortib: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager [01:43] 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. [01:44] garthk: I cannot answer your questions unless you answer mine. [01:44] 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] garthk: Can you MOUNT the drive [01:44] "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] tortib: adjust the file as necessary [01:45] garthk, so try centos [01:45] hi, i seem to get a bunch of "firefox " 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] 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] 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] miraj: "Ubuntu! If at first you don't succeed, well, try CentOS." isn't that good either. [01:46] garthk: I am asking... in a live cd... can you mount the drive [01:46] will_i_am: ive tried some stuff ive found on the forums and such, but im not finding anyuthiung that works [01:46] 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] L3top, I assure you I'll let you know once I finish downloading this live DVD. [01:46] how can I invert the colors for virtualbox? [01:46] weilits the sta driver [01:46] not b43 [01:46] garthk: I want to help you fix this... you are making me less motivated to do so. [01:46] aCCORDING TO THE WIKI PAGE [01:47] Ubuntu has its faults... security updates isn't one of them [01:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:47] garthk, can xen write-protect it's bootsector etc? [01:47] if it were... there would be more than 1500 users in here with your issue [01:47] (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] Dial it down a notch. [01:48] miraj: fun idea. Not sure. [01:48] fighting with KDE/KWin over Alt-Space and gnome-terminal. Anyone? [01:48] blaming the OS which does not befuddle newbs is not likely the best way to attract those bees garthk. [01:48] Smaxie, is it BCM411 or BCM4311 thos are diffrent cards I believe. [01:48] L3top: nah xfce4 didn't fix it, it's shitty drivers [01:48] bcm4311 [01:48] it uses sta [01:49] im following guide on wiki [01:49] 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] just to make sure i didnt miss something [01:49] never smart to bash the os in its own irc channel :-D [01:50] so, not looking good for my empty desktop tonight I guess... [01:51] bennypr0fane: sorry, must've missed that -- what's up again? [01:51] hello, can i have ubuntu without windows manager? [01:53] wilee-nilee: hmm, i followed the directions, modprobed the cvarious mopdulkes, nothing [01:53] gonna try a reboot [01:53] baguzzzaji, Look at login managers here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Adding_a_Window_Manager [01:54] 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] man this sucks, i really hope i can get this thing working [01:54] baguzzzaji: what, like just TTYs and no graphics? In theory, yes. [01:55] is there any way to kill all processes that have in their process listing at once? [01:55] toafan, yes, i mean that way. [01:55] Smaxie, It seemed you said you had wifi until you added firmware, is this true and did you have it on the live cd? [01:56] 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 [01:57] Ah [01:57] 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. [01:58] 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] but if ubuntu is struggling, it doesnt dobe well for opther distros [01:58] Partial solution to getting node alive: use 'xe-edit-bootloader -n hostname -p 1' on Xen console to remove 'submenu' definition. [01:58] s/broken/brown' [01:59] :( [01:59] Smaxie, if firmware is missing > sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer ( and reboot) [02:00] I'm now in a maintenance mode shell with /dev/xvda2 mounted… where'd xvda1 go? Hmm. [02:00] i tried that, but this card downt use that firmware anyway [02:00] Smaxie: have you rebooted since installing firmware/drivers? [02:00] I rebooted my access point while ubuntu was off, the network has been up for 5 mins now without any issues [02:00] wiki says install bcmwl-kernel-source [02:00] i'm doing a continiuous ping [02:00] ive rebooted a bunch of timesd, along with mod probing [02:00] the wiki says this all... [02:01] .me doesnt come to irc beforew reading wikis and such [02:01] #ubuntu wears on the soul. [02:01] wiki says that cord is both STA and B43.. it is B43 [02:01] ive tried both :( [02:02] im gonna keep playing with it === uw is now known as Guest73183 [02:05] Smaxie, what is the output of lspci? [02:05] Ok, a few reboots later, it boots fine. So, full rescue solution: xe-edit-bootloader -n [02:05] Whups. http://www.virtualzone.de/2012/06/ubuntu-vm-not-starting-on-xenserver.html [02:05] i'm going to turn on my Ubuntu machine now. I hope it doesn't affect my wireless network. Maybe it was just a coincidence earlier === NCommander is now known as Guest30162 [02:07] snwh: i said the name of card above [02:07] b4311 === bennypr0fane_ is now known as bennypr0fane [02:08] hello, Iam using ubunutu 12.04 and have black screen [02:08] It seems that I have graphical system X loggeed as root user, but not as my user. Can someone to end up my problem? I have ubuntu 12.04 [02:08] esteban320: are you logged on? and do you have a text prompt? [02:09] this is my /var/log/xorg.0log http://pastebin.com/VQyJQ6MH [02:09] Hej Smaxie did you reply a while ago when I asked what yr issue was? [02:10] toafan, the login window if i boot from grub as normal user, doesnt appear [02:10] bcs I was gone there 4 a while [02:10] bad irc client... [02:10] or appear the logo of ubuntu for ever [02:10] bennypr0fane never saw you ask me an question. [02:10] ok [02:10] ah, that-- I can't help with. sorry [02:10] so, what's yr issue? [02:11] Basically my wifi aint working. Im not new to linux by any means, but just picked up a new laptop and its giving mew fits [02:11] it is like this problem, but I cant figure out how to sove in my case https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109180 [02:11] have you tried rfkill yet Smaxie? [02:11] Smaxie, Hmm I have a Broadcom card as well (b4313) and the "bcmwl-source-package" with the wl module is what works for me. [02:11] bennypr0fane: what's up with your empty desktop again? [02:12] toafan I log into a Unity session, the desktop remains empty, I only see the wallpaper [02:12] installer apparently killed my eth0 also hmm, b43= [02:12] wtf [02:12] bennypr0fane: Unity or Unity2D? [02:12] esteban320, A its like this is not going to get you help I suspect, just state it. ;) [02:12] Unity [02:13] hmm, eth0 is there but networkmanager doesntr see it ew [02:13] I can't log into Unity2D [02:13] Smaxie do rfkill list [02:14] bennypr0fane: shows dekll wifi and delkl bluetooth [02:14] soft and hard blocked : no [02:14] hello [02:14] i am having trouble with ubuntu [02:14] wilee-nilee how can I proceed :=s [02:14] bennypr0fane: can you pop over to a TTY and look for processes with `compiz` or `unity`? Eg in top, htop? [02:15] Smaxie only those 2, wifi and bt? all not blocked? [02:15] must be something stupid, but its reeally driving me nuts [02:15] bennypr0fane: yup [02:15] Zachster1996: of course, or you wouldn't be here. What's up? [02:15] im typing from another pc, so i cant copy and paSTE, BUT THATS IT [02:15] 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] Smaxie so you tried both drivers, proprietary one and free? [02:16] toafan I forgot what tty is === Guest73183 is now known as uw [02:16] 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 === Gostin is now known as Ecchi [02:16] 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] bennypr0fane: TTY is a hardware terminal. In this case, you want to hit Ctrl-Alt-f1 [02:17] UHH, YA I GUESS. WASNT AWARE THERE WAS A FREE AND NON-FREE. [02:17] woops [02:17] sorry bout that [02:17] bennypr0fane: it'll drop you at a text prompt [02:17] what the STA one from jockey for? i was under the impression you wouldnt need anything else besides that [02:17] Zachster1996: I've never used Ubuntu server. What kind of stats? [02:18] Smaxie that card can be really weird [02:18] the system stats that appear at the bottom [02:18] but now im seeing sta, b43/firmware-b64-installer and bcmwl-firmware or whatever [02:18] Zachster1996: and importantly, do they only show up along the bottom line, or do they scroll up the terminal? [02:18] bennypr0fane: apparently, Ive been using linjux for 11 years and never seen something so stupid when it ciomes to wifi [02:18] you can choose between the 2. deactivate whichever one you're using now and try the other [02:19] 2? i listed 3?] [02:19] \ [02:19] well one is just the installer [02:19] 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 [02:20] toafan they are supposed to stay at bottom but they scroll [02:20] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52265290/untitled.PNG [02:20] toafan ^ [02:20] wonder if its 64bit giving me problems or somethingmas [02:21] i tried putty, kitty, disabling byobu on login [02:21] toafan right now I'm in an Enlightenment session [02:21] I have htop running [02:21] what now? [02:21] it dont do it at the actual server just in ssh [02:21] toafan ^ [02:21] How do I install oracle java 6-7 in ppa [02:21] Smaxie try uninstalling the STA driver [02:22] then reboot [02:22] i havbe [02:22] !java [02:22] 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] 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] now im uninstyalling b43 studff and just going with bcmwl [02:22] ok [02:22] after that run rfkill again [02:22] treaverhoerig, there is no ppa, see ubottu's url [02:22] rfkill list [02:23] that server is my only linux machine [02:23] toafan ^ [02:23] if this doesnt work im gonna install my proven intel nioc from my t60 thinkpad [02:23] i have ubuntu desktop on my computer but i havent installed wireless yet [02:23] toafan ^ [02:23] this broadcom wifi card is just a curse [02:24] bennypr0fane: i never had a problem with b43 type ones [02:24] they always just worked for me [02:24] I've been having this issue with each installation of Linux [02:24] Zachster1996: could you plug in an ethernet cable long enough to test? [02:25] no my internet is on the opposite end of the house and i dont have long enough cable [02:25] toafan ^ [02:25] i just benchmarked a flash drive in ubuntu under disks and got 216.3 MB/s [02:25] can that be right? [02:25] seems high [02:26] its rated at 190MB/sec [02:26] toafan it dont happen on 11.10 i just upgraded to 12.04.1 [02:26] does linux support writing to HFS+ ? [02:26] rfkill shows thwe same [02:26] toafan maybe i should downgrade [02:27] Zachster1996: officaly, there's no way to downgrade (I found out tonight) [02:27] i meant wipe drive [02:27] toafan ^ [02:27] why not try 12.10 before u go back to 11.10 as a fresh install? [02:27] devslash, yes but only if Journaling is disabled under MAC OS [02:27] there is no 12.10 Krabbe [02:27] KRomeleoN [02:28] im running it, im sure it exists :) [02:28] will i lose any data if i do that ? [02:28] Zachster1996: yeah, if you're going to fresh-install you may as well try the current version first [02:28] toafan is 12.10 dev buid [02:28] KRomeleoN: not yet it doesn't, you're on beta [02:28] yeah its a beta [02:28] Zachster1996: so 12.4 [02:28] but b4 he does a fresh install.... [02:28] i dont like beta [02:28] try 12.10 [02:28] KRomeleoN, there are 2 speeds, cach & bufferd speeds, use > sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda [02:28] k [02:29] Smaxie here's a really neat thing for diagnosing your wlan: http://wiki.bodhilinux.com/doku.php?id=wireless_script [02:29] devslash, you shouldnt. but they say it is "not recommended" to disable [02:29] it prints out everything you wanna know [02:29] toafan gonna go try that [02:30] making sense of the output will be another thing tho... [02:30] toafan I can't see any Unity process in htop [02:31] 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] toafan do-release-upgrade says no new version [02:31] im using -d [02:31] bennypr0fane: did you search for them? [02:31] how? [02:31] there's really just a dozen running though [02:32] bennypr0fane: probably hit f3, it should say along the bottom [02:32] bennypr0fane: might want to make sure you're seeing processes from all users [02:32] i've got processes from 4 users shown so that's probably all [02:33] is it? [02:34] but as i'm now in an e17 session, it wouldn't make much sense anyway if there was anything Unity running, right? [02:35] 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 [02:36] * zykotick9 wonders if "unity" is a process? compiz maybe? [02:36] anyone here running ubuntu server [02:36] devslash, for what purpose? [02:37] zykotick9: well, if his unity is running correctly, there should be a couple processes with unity in their name [02:37] but the problem is if I log into Unity I can't be in here not run anything [02:37] toafan: you'd know better then i would ;) [02:37] zykotick9: for example unity-panel iirc [02:37] bennypr0fane: what chat client are you using? [02:37] except if I can run 2 sessions simultaneously and switch between them? [02:37] x-chat [02:38] 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] bennypr0fane: what about multiuser and switch-user? [02:38] 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] no idea, never tried taht [02:38] i have looked online at several forums but always never seem to get a real answer from anything said there [02:38] bennypr0fane: you probably can't log in two sessions for the same user, so you may have to create a test user [02:39] devslash you might wanna try the #hardware channel [02:39] devslash, well ubuntu server doesnt have a gui by default [02:39] i know [02:39] toafan shouldn't be a problem [02:39] I'm currently running it on an old laptop [02:39] in a CLI [02:40] the problem is how do i get any info about the Unity session if I can't start any applications [02:40] 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] 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... [02:41] bennypr0fane: one thing I usually do is go to TTY1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and run htop there [02:41] I can chat from my other computer [02:41] devslash, it should be fine for a server. I repurposed an old laptop and 6 harddrive to make a file server. [02:41] 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] !info tvtime | andrewh192 [02:41] andrewh192: tvtime (source: tvtime): television display application. In component universe, is optional.

I can start X as root but not as normal User [02:42] toafan so if I go ctrl alt f1 in the unity session, i should be able to run cli applications, right? [02:42] need help please [02:42] devslash, that sounds like a hardware issue :P [02:42] still can't figure out the issue [02:42] bennypr0fane: yup. Catch is, that'll be _all_ you can run [02:43] 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] network just stops working. What I'll do is disconnect wireless from top right, then click my SSID again. [02:43] hi, i have a process called "whoopsie" owned by the user "whoopsie" that respawns when killed [02:43] is there a problem with RT2800pci driver? [02:43] that part of the system? [02:43] toafan AND I can't claim I know my cli commands all that well [02:43] 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] maybe you'd be ready to post me the lines? [02:44] 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] bennypr0fane: if you know how to use `man` and run everything inside byobu, you'll be fine overall [02:44] wow, someone reporter that the rt2800pci is causing havoc to their school network [02:44] bennypr0fane: but sure [02:44] codewiz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/135540/what-is-the-whoopsie-process-and-how-can-i-remove-it [02:44] reported [02:44] what's byobu? [02:45] thx [02:45] 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] ok, will see [02:46] starting unity session now [02:46] hey folks, will RT2860 driver work for me? Currently, it shows RT2800pci [02:46] 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 === bennyprofane is now known as bennypr0fane [02:47] bennypr0fane: I'm gonna go poof for the night in about 10-12 minutes, FYI [02:47] is there an ubuntu kernel channel? [02:48] ok [02:48] tvtime [02:48] toafan: byobu looks pretty intense [02:48] is that the name of the program zykotick9? [02:48] ampd: how so? [02:48] toafan i get a "system program problem detected" [02:49] toafan: well, it looks like windows 3.1. dont think i'd remember how to use it [02:49] bennypr0fane: what caused it? just trying to log in? [02:49] hi ubuntu user and young programmer [02:49] we release http://0x71.org unpublish code [02:49] for you to learn and secure your box [02:50] go and download it [02:50] and thank God for it [02:50] is free [02:50] go see published code on top of it on the left [02:50] toafan: actually, just looked at a few more screenshots. looks like any tiling wm, but in ascii. might need to look into this [02:50] anyone knows? [02:50] ampd: well, it's kinda designed the same way?... it's all about the CLI. But of course it's a modern OS [02:50] list #vhost [02:50] ampd: yeah, it's like a tiling wm for the command line [02:51] toafan yes, right after login [02:51] I have been having some trouble booting off of an Ubuntu DVD I burned. When I try to load it on my mac it just creates a flashing white line that doesn't do anything. I have tried three different dvds and slow speeds. And I have been able to boot off of a flashdrive but that flashdrive is where I want to install ubuntu so I can save files and stuff. [02:51] andrewh192: yes that is a program used to watch tv off a turner card === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest38390 [02:51] toafan: yea. i'm a fan of the general style. [02:51] my failsafeX doesnt work. One of the WW was Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) [02:51] also an error msg about telepathy came up [02:51] but I can init X system as root without problems [02:51] I'm in tty now, running htop [02:52] bennypr0fane: so is that progress? Have you been able to check for unity processes? [02:52] I have ubuntu 12.04 with lubuntu-desktop (love it!), but don't know how to view the contents of a DVD. Anyone around to help? In 10.04 the disc would auto-magically appear on the desktop. [02:52] Nautilus: that's a mount case. do you have a mounted drives indicator of some sort? can you find the disk in your file manager? [02:52] Can anyone help me get Autodesk Maya 2013 (student version) on Ubuntu? The site says it's possible, but it doesn't offer a download for Linux. There are multiple "tutorials" on the internet, but they start assuming you already have the files. Is it possible to download from their site? [02:53] toafan, yes, checked, and no, search for unity yields no results [02:53] is on top left guys [02:53] Nautilus: probably need to mount it yourself [02:54] cool, thanx twitchie === arleslie3 is now known as arleslie[a] [02:54] any other keyword to search for except unity? [02:54] bennypr0fane: so your unity login isn't starting the unity processes. you might be hosed and need to rebuild the login files [02:54] bennypr0fane: got any compiz? [02:55] so no one here uses rt driver? [02:55] toafan I dunno. how can I tell? [02:56] i can't imagine though Unity's acutally not running, bcs I can see the wallpaper, and things happening on the desktop (error msgs in their usual Ubuntu windows) [02:57] there's a context menu when I right-click, and a reaction to keyboard input [02:57] it's like the desktop is perfectly fine, except there's nothing on it [02:57] sorry for rewriting this, but I need some help and I haven't been able to find anyone else who has my problem. I burned a DVD with ubuntu 32-desktop and tried to boot off of it with my mac. Although it does reconize the disk and try to boot off of it, all that it does is flash a white line. Nothing more. Whats wrong? The reason I am doing this in the first place is to make an ubuntu flash drive that I can just plug into a comput [02:57] error report says colord crashed [02:58] HI ALL! [02:59] toafan just understood yr last question, yes, there is compiz [02:59] Hey whats up [02:59] KTO POLAK? [02:59] cactusfrog you could: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [02:59] toafan: 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 [02:59] cactusfrog: did you download the .iso file? If so how did you burn this image [02:59] i nedd help plz [02:59] need [02:59] !ask | verop [02:59] verop: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:59] any can help plz? [03:00] ok [03:00] Looks busy in here, anyone around think they can give me a couple of pointers in the realm of kernel updates [03:00] bennypr0fane: can you run compiz-config, and check for the unity plugin? [03:00] will try [03:00] snwh: yeah I tried that but that doesn't allow me to keep my settings after every time I boot. Instead I can either choose to install it or just run the demo, or to install it on my harddrive [03:00] I need website with many developers Linux programms please, and they must work for free? [03:00] snwh: (sorry) yeah I tried that but that doesn't allow me to keep my settings after every time I boot. Instead I can either choose to install it or just run the demo, or to install it on my harddrive [03:01] I need website with many developers Linux programms please, and they must work for free?

[03:01] Verop: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:01] toafan compiz-config command not found [03:03] cactusfrog you could in your Mac terminal: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/disk bs=8192 [03:03] I opened another tty for this though, alt ctrl F4 - would that be supposed to work? [03:03] Autodesk Maya 2013 on Ubuntu? Anyone? [03:03] cactusfrog where image.iso is replaced with your iso name and /dev/disk your disk [03:04] I am using Ubuntu 12.4 on a VM and am doing HW and I need to update the kernel [03:04] Hello everyone [03:04] I think I am on the right path but I just want to make sure [03:05] snwh: so that would work? [03:05] !compizconfig-settings-manager | bennypr0fane [03:05] cactusfrog: it ought to [03:05] 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 [03:06] cactusfrog, worth trying at least. [03:06] 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] twitchie thanks - this would be the command? [03:06] folks, just would like to confirm please. Can i use module rt2860 in place of rt2800? [03:06] the rt2800pci driver in LTS is bad [03:07] cactusfrog, yup. its just a different way of writing an iso to a usb drive [03:07] hey can one of you guys point me in the right direction [03:07] for my kernel update [03:08] 'compiz' returns: 'Fatal: couldn't open display' [03:08] snwh: thanks [03:08] Devin__ you'll need to be more specific [03:08] ask for the exact thing you wanna do [03:09] bennypr0fane, do you have a current X11 session open? [03:09] yes, the one with the empty desktop [03:09] can I paste, or will I get in trouble [03:09] ??? [03:09] Devin__ use pastebin.com [03:09] bennypr0fane, what is your current window manager? [03:09] you don't need an account for that [03:10] twitchie not sure [03:10] bennypr0fane, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:10] what's the deafult window manager of Unity? [03:11] do I mount /dev/cdrom to the already existing /cdrom folder? [03:11] !mount | Nautilus [03:11] Nautilus: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [03:12] wow that's nifty !

[03:13] Nautilus: I think that was done automatically [03:14] twitchie no, nothing, the desktop is completely blank! [03:14] did you get my paste? [03:14] which line should I start to copy, http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg85339.html [03:15] lotuspsychje: that says I can mount it explicity, so just "sudo mount /dev/cdrom"? [03:15] anyone know how to patch [03:15] Devin__ so what, you just need to upgrade your kernel to just any newer version? [03:15] what is it for? [03:15] bennypr0fane, did a login GUI come up when you booted the computer? [03:15] Operating Systems course [03:16] twitchie yes [03:16] 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] what the hello is Synaptic package manager? [03:16] Devin__ so did you do the things suggested there? [03:17] I need this, linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic [03:17] is it yum search linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic [03:17] bennypr0fane, do you know how to switch the window manager on the login screen?

Is there a way to merge the accounts or log out of the currently logged in account to install the other software? [03:21] bennypr0fane, sounds like your unity/gnome3 is broken.

[03:27] bennypr0fane, lol, i couldn't even find System tools [03:27] Devin__: what are you trying to do ? [03:27] i feel like downloading Fedora :( [03:27] Well part 1 and part 2 ask me to upgrade ubuntu kernels [03:27] bennypr0fane, I noticed I said cssm, the correct command is ccsm [03:27] part 1 says to use ubuntu's precompiled kernel components [03:27] defaultro: its in the upper right [03:28] twitchie i did dpkg-reconfigure unity. need to reboot to see an effect, or should something happen right away? [03:28] and part 2 asks to use Linux Kernel source code components [03:28] whats the difference [03:28] i'll look again [03:28] 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] my ubuntu experience has been somewhat painful [03:28] is there a simple solution?

[03:31] blackshirt_: how so? [03:31] Devin__, Your kernel updates will be in software updates [03:31] installed but when I ran it, startiing without administrative privileges. :( [03:32] !sudo | defaultro [03:32] 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] is software updates the GUI version because I think he wants me to do it in CLI [03:32] cool [03:32] forgot to put sudo [03:32] Devin__, Are you trying to get a specific kernel? [03:32] I'm very used to running root [03:32] i have a DVD mounted and can see the files but not the disc label, anyone know how to find that? [03:32] d3v1an7, is there a specific program you use? [03:33] why was root disabled? [03:33] No not really, I just want to fufill the requirements of my assignment [03:33] I downloaded a .tgz, what is the command to install it? sudo apt-get install filename.tgz? [03:33] 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] just incase say the next assignment is update your kernel again [03:34] 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] If I go to the newest kernel then I would be in trouble [03:34] WeThePeople: All emails originated from WordPress, which uses PHPMailer 5.2.1 [03:34] Devin__ in that case don't do apt-get update [03:34] Devin__: kernel.ubuntu.com [03:34] defaultro, for security reasons. if you wish to run as root use the command sudo -i [03:35] yeah, thats what I thought, because If i do that wouldn't it bring me to the most recent [03:35] o_o [03:35] damn 1518 users === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 [03:35] d3v1an7, idk how to use PHPMailer, but maybe a PHP irc channel might? [03:35] !who | Devin__ [03:35] 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] yeah thats the link I have in my assignment kernel.ubunto.com [03:36] Devin__: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [03:36] Devin__: you can install from a .deb [03:36] ampd ampd [03:36] 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?

I am trying to resend with formail if that makes it more relevant. [03:37] Devin__: first one was using precompiled kernel, I mean, in binary term [03:37] Devin__: second one, you build by yourself the kernel binary from the source [03:37] Devin__: usually you upgrade it with precompiled kernel from mainline stock .. [03:37] WeThePeople: This command works - http://serverfault.com/questions/90023/how-can-i-send-var-mail-root-again [03:37] !legacy [03:37] Devin__: the second part was more hard and usually was for more experienced linux user [03:37] is the first one I just download the .deb files and run the command [03:37] Hello guys [03:38] anyone familiar with using EncFS ? [03:38] 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] mal10c, look in the software center for that [03:38] Devin__: yea, sounds like it [03:38] I think the command I found was "" sudo dpkg -i *.deb"" [03:38] Devin__: that should do it [03:39] how about part II [03:39] anyone have any idea [03:39] thanks twitchie [03:40] WeThePeople: thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I see there's a lot of software that might help [03:40] ok folks, I got the linux-backports precise generic installed. How do I know if my system is now using it? [03:40] i forgot to take note of the filesize of rt2800pci driver [03:40] lsmod shows the same driver name [03:40] so I can't tell if I am using linux-backpors [03:40] mal10c, i use atomic mailer, if that intrests you :) [03:41] #irssi [03:41] can any one on xubuntu tell me how to have dual screens that are not clone onlyy [03:41] Devin__: just do the same thing with a .tar.gz [03:41] Devin__: part II was told you to upgrade with compile your kernel image by yourself [03:41] Heh. Can't find version_find_latest defined in /etc/grub.d/*, /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig, /usr/sbin/update-grub, or /boot/grub/*… [03:42] yes, I am using the linux-backports module now :D [03:42] defaultro: i *think* there's somewhere in system settings that should display it?

[03:43] WeThePeople: All packages are up-to-date. 'update-grub' isn't an APT command: "E: Invalid operation update-grub". [03:43] that's very slow [03:44] how do i get sudo dpkg -i *.deb to work for where I have placed my .deb files [03:44] 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] garth, yes, that's command from grub2 packages [03:44] if I just cd to it will it know [03:44] Devin__: you have to put the path to the deb file [03:44] Devin__: unless you're in the same folder [03:44] Devin__: you should cd to dir contains your debs files, and issued that command [03:45] 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?

I honestly have no idea.

[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] Devin__: kernel from kernel.org was a pristine kernel ... [04:23] Devin__, yes davin, thats exactly it [04:23] |Anthony|: lol sorry what are the packages [04:23] blackshirt: what do you mean pristine [04:24] 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] blackshirt: like good or is pristine a code name for something [04:25] Devin__: the official version, unmodified [04:26] ampd: which is the official version? [04:26] ampd: oh the kernel.org? [04:26] Devin__: yea === charles_ is now known as Guest89778 [04:26] Devin__: and the ubuntu one is jsut the official ubuntu kernel, packaged for ubuntu [04:26] ampd: can I backdate afterwords if I have problems, say back to 3.2.0 [04:27] |Anthony|: what do you mean by for me package [04:27] Devin__: when you boot up you get the option to select what kernel to load, right?

[04:29] ampd: maybe, I am also using VmWare [04:29] 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 [04:30] |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] what is the binary for Ubuntu Software center?

[04:33] karthick87: join #selinux [04:33] how do u get the visual bell to work in 12.04?

[04:34] does anyone here use Tribler? [04:34] blackshirt: do I need to change it in the source code before i compile it? [04:34] ls [04:34] looks like #tribler has no one in it... but i'm wondering if anyone can access tribler.org [04:34] opps that was meant for ubuntu [04:34] !info software-center [04:34] software-center (source: software-center): Utility for browsing, installing, and removing software. In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.5 (precise), package size 609 kB, installed size 4256 kB [04:34] Devin__: was like I told to you before, you should do it when you config your kernel ... [04:35] Devin__, it's not as bad as (back in the day) me typing something like, "get womenHorseFuck.avi" or something [04:35] when am I configuring it [04:35] ...accidently typing that in IRC instead of FTP console lol [04:35] * rgenito curiosity [04:35] rgenito: lol!!! [04:36] 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] blackshirt: should I do it some how when I run the sudo dpkg -i *.deb command [04:38] is LIbreoffice Writer the Winword version for liunux?

[04:42] if you look under part II [04:42] blackshirt: If ou look under part II he asks me to rename the kernel version to my initials [04:43] either will do [04:43] not really familiar with sockets but if you meant tcp sockets, you can setup a listener i guess [04:44] come on blackshirt do his homework :-D [04:45] blackshirt: is that tar.gz file need to be extracted ?? === NCommander is now known as Guest52279 [04:47] so I know MPD can output to icecast...

[05:43] gogeta: yeah.. [05:43] I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 via USB boot. [05:43] diven__ greats [05:43] Hi, I'm looking for a software similar to wammu/gammu except for Android phones ? [05:44] n03l thats great [05:44] since i carefully avoid touching any gtk config stuff.. i wonder how i broke it.. [05:44] Upon my first installation attempt, I failed, a msg popped up saying 'grub failed to install' or something along that line. [05:44] tapas: you try using dpkg --reconfigure [05:44] I initiated another installation and it worked. [05:44] tapas: or did you brake it mid update [05:44] gogeta: running an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade first.. [05:45] HOwever, now I'm stuck with 2 installations. I partitioned my drive twice. How do I delete the first installation? [05:45] gogeta: nah, i just rebooted.. no update process at that time.. [05:45] Also, I'm dualbooting with Windows 7/ [05:45] tapas: strange [05:45] gogeta: indeed [05:45] gogeta: also what package would you recommend for dpkg --reconfigure? [05:46] tapas: gtk i would assume [05:46] aaah, it might have been the attempt to install skype.. [05:46] tapas: gtk2 or 3 [05:46] 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. [05:47] tapas: thers a command for that heh lemmie get it [05:48] Jordan_U: I'm afraid that the installation might fail again. [05:49] tapas: try sudo dpkg configure -a === lo is now known as Guest32254 [05:49] gogeta: ok, once the apt-get upgrade is through.. [05:49] The only inconvenience is that the first installation, I partitioned my drive to like 100GB. So I'm running out of space. [05:49] tapas: that should resume any configs that did not compleate [05:49] WIth only 25GB left for Windows. [05:49] cześć [05:50] gogeta: good to know :D [05:50] tapas: worst case you drop down to cli purge gtk and reinstall [05:50] tapas: that will restore the defult configs [05:51] gogeta: ok.. [05:51] tapas: ill wager ubuntu whont like that to mutch lol [05:53] hi all [05:53] hi drcode [05:54] I have found that ati amd 7750 opengl dosn't work on kubuntu , it worked perfect under ubuntu and unity [05:54] please someone help after doing sudo apt-get update i am getting this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223933/ [05:54] admin [05:55] please someone help after doing sudo apt-get update i am getting this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/1223933/ [05:55] ansi_: remove the offending lines from your sources.lst [05:55] tapas how do i do that?? [05:55] ansi_: your ppa must be down [05:55] ansi_: or rather comment them out.. [05:55] ansi_: take an editor and edit /etc/apt/sources.lst [05:55] drcode, i think thats specific to kubuntu, have you asked in #kubuntu? [05:56] ansi_: sources.list really [05:56] tapas pls dont mind but i am new to linux and ubuntu so i request you to guide me [05:57] ansi_: a] open a text editor b] open /etc/apt/sources.list c] put a hash # in front of those lines that match your error message [05:57] oh, and you have to do that as root.. [05:57] ansi_: i have my own system breakage atm, so i can't help you in more detail... [05:58] tapas, you should open the editor with root privileges to edit sources.list [05:58] 07:57 < tapas> oh, and you have to do that as root.. [05:58] opened the file as root but which are the lines that i need to put # [05:59] ansi_: same ones that have the error [05:59] thanks skype, for a] not working and b] fscking up my system.. [05:59] no [05:59] tapas: lol [05:59] I will try , thanx [05:59] ppa's should be removed from software-center .. edit->software sources-> other software tab [05:59] tapas: it is microsoft code [06:00] blackshirt: hey you still there [06:00] gogeta: ah, that explains it.. [06:00] gogeta: where they aquired? [06:00] Ubuntu Newb: I know for certain that my computer has been hacked. I lost root privileges, I cannot access recovery mode; it says the password is wrong, my CD ROM has been Disabled so that I cannot reinstall the OS === rms is now known as Guest56562 [06:00] tapas: yea they bought skype a wile ago [06:01] devin__, blackshirt was gone ... [06:01] chuck: go in your bios and turn the cd rom back on [06:01] tapas i found the other three.. but for this what should i comment W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D8AD4DE78EEBB0CA [06:01] chuck... You should ensure it [06:01] gogeta: it wont give me that option in bios [06:02] #http://ppalaunchpad.net oneiric [06:02] chuck: prety shure they didnt mod your bios look in the boot order [06:02] tapas i found the other three.. but for this what should i comment W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D8AD4DE78EEBB0CA [06:03] gogeta, I have tried to change the boot order already. It wont allow the ROM Disable to be Enabled [06:03] chuck: you can also boot into single user mode and recover root [06:03] gogeta: How? [06:04] chuck: in grub add init 1 to the kernel line [06:04] chuck: it will boot into a single user mode from there you can change the root password [06:05] gogeta, I have a second computer to access info online. Is there a step by step webpage? [06:05] gogeta THANKS, I'll try [06:05] chuck: init 1 will boot into root only mode [06:05] chuck: and you will be logged in as root [06:06] chuck: its a failsafe on lost passwords etc [06:06] gogeta thanks again. Im out [06:07] chuck: but by default / is in read only mode ao you have to mount it in rw mode there when you wil get terminal [06:07] chuck: then just type passwd and it will ask to set a new pass [06:07] reinstalling and reconfiguring all these glib, gtk, etc.. packages didn't help :( [06:07] chuck then use passwd after mounting rw [06:07] and google is cvery unhelpful when it comes to this error [06:08] tapas: may not take effect intill reboot [06:08] tapas: being thats stuff in use [06:08] Hii, I can see shared folder of win7 in ubuntu but can't see the share folder of ubuntu in win7, can anyone pls help me? [06:08] rahul_banyal: samba? [06:09] tapas: or at last rebooting xorg [06:09] least [06:09] rahul_banyal: selinux policy set ? [06:09] jilt007, seliinux was not used by ubuntu by default [06:10] rahul is a cool name [06:10] gogeta: thanks for the tips.. will /etc/init.d/lightdm restart ;D [06:10] hatori: ok [06:11] gogeta: no dice :( [06:12] did a whole system reboot.. [06:13] what is the use of python-software-properties [06:13] at our place we install it before adding a launchpad ppa [06:13] although do this without installing python-software-properties..So what does it do ? [06:15] tapas: darn [06:16] and /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ is populated.. [06:16] tapas: the other guy will be back to its init=1 lol [06:16] which is what dpkg -L gsettings-desktop-schemas tells me.. [06:16] tapas: been a wile sense i had to brake in my own system [06:17] 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. [06:18] Jordan_U: hes not back yet so [06:19] Jordan_U: if he gets into runlevel 1 he can get his root acess back [06:19] <[deXter]> Hi all, what's a good streaming audio player that supports AAC streams and ID3 tags? [06:19] Jordan_U: just dont see how they crippled his cd rom === marduk is now known as Guest60745 [06:19] ok.. [06:20] 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] it seems to be user specific.. added another user and started a gnome session [06:20] clementine is a music player that supports both those things. [06:20] works.. [06:20] gogeta: I'm almost certain they're simply mistaken. I doubt they've been "hacked" at all. [06:21] i guess i'll have to reset all gtk and gnome related config files.. [06:21] which is a pita [06:21] Jordan_U: well worst case as long as its not a dell pull the cmos battery [06:22] Jordan_U: reset all bios settings to stock [06:24] Jordan_U: dells use a eprom pulling cmos does not work [06:25] gogeta, dells eprom can be reset [06:25] woot-0854_: if you short it but for the uskills it can = system death [06:25] unskilled [06:25] gogeta, I got lucky :) [06:26] why is gtk so brittle? :D [06:26] oh well, i'll setup my user's home directory anew.. [06:26] tapas: :( dunno i never broke it [06:27] gogeta: it's the one thing that breaks the most in my 10+ years linux experience.. [06:27] anyways.. bbiab.. [06:27] tapas: 10 years never broke gtk [06:28] tapas: did brake kde once thow [06:29] gogeta, I pulled the power unlached the cmos pulled the processor cable, replaced power cable hit power button. held powerbutton till machine went down again. waited for the orange light to go off, pulled power and connected processor one more power cycle and it worked [06:29] for gnome, you can easily reset gnome setting... Reset it and blah,you have an new look [06:29] gogeta, I replaced the cmos before the second power on [06:29] woot-0854_: nice on my old c610 you have to use a paper clip to short it on a certen pin [06:30] woot-0854_: i have not had the curage to do it and the syste works fine [06:30] system [06:30] gogeta, no jumper? lame and ya dangerous [06:30] woot-0854_: luckly it has a hot key for boot order [06:32] woot-0854_: but these days it just sits on the shelf === atrius is now known as atrius_away [06:32] woot-0854_: nedding parts im to lazy to order [06:33] woot-0854_: and i got 3 newer laptops [06:33] woot-0854_: like with any older tec cant sell it dont wanna trash it === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap [06:34] woot-0854_: was thinking of getting one of the ide to sd card adaptors being old ide drive are a bit hard to find these days [06:35] !enter [06:35] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

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] una curiosità [07:32] ade: sure [07:32] ma come faccio a migliorare la grafica su kde quando uso eclipse, quindi java? [07:32] !it [07:32] 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) [07:33] llutz: cheers bud, I knew it was possible to have four patritions max, but wasn;t sure how many could be root [07:33] 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] ade four primary partitions, that is [07:33] ade: you can create an extended partition holding logical drives to use for linux-installations. you don't need primaries for linux [07:34] fidel: +1 [07:34] 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] llutz: ah, great idea! Not sure what the limit is then but I know its a lot! lol === mcasadevall_ is now known as NCommander [07:35] ade: limit is 15 logical drives with libata irrc [07:36] err 12, 3primary+12 logical, something like that. should be enough though [07:37] 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 [07:38] ade: it has been maximum of 63 "partitions" with IDE but theres a lower limit with SCSI(libata) which is used since a while [07:40] hi all [07:41] llutz: That will be where I conjured that figure from then :o) Thanks's for the great advice [07:41] I am sure everybody is aware of attack on Godaddy's website . Ubuntu site is backed by Godaddy. I am wondering how much it affected on ubuntu site. [07:41] how can I make simplescan scan my photos/documents brighter?

[07:56] Kartagis use any image editor to that end [07:57] MonkeyDust: no other way? [07:57] Kartagis what other way did you have in mind? [07:58] Kartagis there's also xsane, it's more advanced, more editable [07:58] Kartagis: as the name says, its "simple". if you need more options to scan, use xsane [07:58] MonkeyDust: set a preference or play with some configuration option to scan them brighter? [07:59] Kartagis in xsane, yes [07:59] .msg nickserv register [08:01] p`p: may want a pass change :) [08:04] Hi [08:05] I tried to install ubuntu to an external hdd, but now each time I boot, it complains about "unknow filesystem" [08:06] The first partition is nfts for data, the next has ubuntu installed, and the last is swap [08:07] So now each time I boot, I have to go through set prefix, set root, insmod, etc [08:07] Chrys0pras3: can you post the error verbatim, please? [08:07] I'd have to reboot [08:08] I decided to reinstall ubuntu, so how can I prevent this from happenning? [08:09] 1. where do I install the boot loader, in the disk or in the partition? === pp is now known as p`p [08:10] 2. do I need a separate partition to mount /boot? [08:10] Chrys0pras3: 1. disk, 2. no [08:10] Is anyone familiar with docky configuration files? http://askubuntu.com/questions/192283/how-do-i-restore-previous-launcher-icons-in-docky [08:10] /msg nickserv identify alagunambi [08:11] poor skyknight [08:11] haha [08:11] Chrys0pras3: you don't need one, though sometimes it's recommended [08:11] 3.

I was trying something like this... if [ kill -0 $pid ]; then echo "foobar"; fi [08:17] Ben64: so when the PID dies, you want to run a command? [08:17] ActionParsnip: correct [08:17] ActionParsnip: not sure how to get the kill -0 thing to work with if or while [08:18] Ben64: you could use: top -n 1 then grep / awk to the PID colomn to then grep for your PID value [08:18] how do I change the group of a folder via terminal?

If I copy here a new folder, It will created on the Home folder of new user? [08:32] I have an account on the "Log In" page which says "Other" but the root commands show no such user. Meanwhile it's password protected. [08:32] leblebi: the others are created by the applications when they need to create them, but that directory is copied for each new (non-system) users home === LukeSkywalker is now known as Guest66912 [08:33] chuck: a guest-account? you should disable that in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf "allow-guest=false" [08:33] tsimpson Ok. Thank you! :) [08:33] thanks llutz [08:35] hi [08:35] need help pleaseeeeeee [08:35] Hello [08:36] is it possible to recover encrypted rar files? I cant remeber the password [08:36] any developer in the house? [08:37] can someone assist me with a usecase diagram? [08:37] which files in etc should I exclude when cloning a system to a different pc? fstab, X11? [08:37] LadyOna, not possible [08:38] kifeey, give us way more details [08:38] kifeey: i doubt that question is channel-related ;) [08:38] kk [08:38] where do i found this !ppa [08:38] LadyOna: Did you set the password yourself? [08:38] am working on a software for asset monitoring and tracking [08:39] Guest70980: you added it - and it should be found in /etc/apt/ [08:39] Hi~ [08:39] I am having trouble mounting a drive [08:39] kifeey, and asset means what? please be VERY clear [08:39] I am using pysdm [08:39] !enter > ElixirVitae [08:39] ElixirVitae, please see my private message [08:39] asset means like equipment [08:40] oh-kay [08:40] kifeey, could you please ask your full question, all on one line [08:41] bazhang, i want to develop a use case for asset management and tracking system [08:41] ElixirVitae, thats the gui to help with fstab? [08:41] kifeey, sorry no idea what that means without more details [08:42] 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] fidel sir, please pardon my ignorance i am new to linux and ubuntu where can i find the ppa that i need to delete === lux_ is now known as Guest95060 [08:42] bazhang, are u a programmer? [08:42] yes, it is, bazhang [08:42] Guest70980, ppa's should be removed from software-center .. edit->software sources-> other software tab [08:42] kifeey, how does this relate to ubuntu [08:43] 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] just looking for a channel that can address that [08:43] kifeey: why reinvent the wheel? [08:43] kifeey: contribute to an existing project [08:43] ElixirVitae, so whats the issue? you could also just use an editor to add to fstab [08:43] bazhang, can you link me to any channel that can assist me? [08:44] !alis | kifeey here have a search [08:44] 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] my fstab line for ext4 is: /dev/sda3 /media/Storage ext4 group=elixirvitae,users,user,owner 0 0 [08:44] 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] but it does not mount and is still only root access [08:44] pranavk: du -h [08:45] ElixirVitae:you use chown/chmod to adjust permissions on ext4, not boot.options in fstab [08:45] 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] ElixirVitae add 'defaults' between ext4 and group [08:45] I tried that as well, llutz [08:45] twitchie's response is what i think i should try [08:46] 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] fidel sir, i just copied and pasted what ever sites tell me to do.. [08:46] 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. [08:47] Jordan_U: Yes, I set the password my self! [08:47] now how can i remove.. i dont see an option in softwarecentre to edit [08:47] /away [08:47] like this, MonkeyDust: http://imgur.com/ymcTH [08:47] i am talking of ubuntu 12.04 [08:47] pranavk: check out the man page for du, it has an option for depth [08:47] Guest70980: yep - and that is a thing you NEVER should do in the first place [08:47] also, what does it do, defaults line, I mean [08:47] hi! where would i get netboot installer images that install lucid but with a newer kernel? === xubuntu is now known as Guest52361 [08:47] 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] ptman, there are none [08:47] 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 ;) [08:48] ok [08:48] thanks guys [08:48] ElixirVitae no, without the comma after defaults -- so: ext4 defaults group... [08:48] bazhang, well crap [08:48] MonkeyDust: wrong, options don't have to contain spaces [08:48] Jordan_U: I tried all possible passwords ... [08:48] bazhang, any pointers to how I would make some? [08:49] llutz but it makes it more readable [08:49] MonkeyDust: it makes fstab corrupt [08:49] 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] llutz please, don't confuse people [08:49] LadyOna: there are rar password crackers, but unless its a very short password, it'd probably take too long [08:50] llutz they are tabs, not spaces [08:50] i dont know what command to use simply to unstall an applicaiton that i installed either thru software centre synaptics or cli [08:50] i'll request yo to be a lil patient and understand [08:50] MonkeyDust: it makes fstab corrupt, options have to be separated by comma [08:50] Guest70980: usually "apt-get remove " [08:50] Ben64: I always use unsense words and digits too [08:51] does that not make
