| xxSn1p3rxx | thats the wave length of a 2.4 ghz wifi signal :P | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, ill let you know in a moment | 00:00 |
| jonathan_ | hello | 00:01 |
| the56ker-MouSe | returned no chroot environment found. starting normal installation an unsupported bcm4301, bcm4306 or bcm4306/2 device was found. use b43legacy firmware (firmware-b43legacy-installer..... | 00:05 |
| the56ker-MouSe | package) instead. | 00:05 |
| KillJoy | I wish OMGUBUNTU was on right now. I really need to thank him/her for recommending playonlinux. | 00:05 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, that would make sense because i beleave i have BCM4306 if im not mistaken that sounds correct | 00:07 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, ahhh, yeah, legacy installer supports tho, fair enough | 00:08 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, used my brain just downloaded the installer after modifying the link you sent me before lets see what happens | 00:09 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, if you just go to packages.ubuntu.com you can search from there | 00:10 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, yeah i did it the lazy way but i have my next problem already | 00:10 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | btw... is efnet still alive ? | 00:11 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, the installer tries to download wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o it cant with no internet access i already have that file in the same directory though | 00:12 |
| deww | xxSn1p3rxx: yes. | 00:12 |
| VlanZ | hey there... anyone using vmware under ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| Krambiorix | hi guys, since i rebooted my mail server, i can't connect via IMAP anymore, any ideas? | 00:12 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, ahh, that part im not sure i can help with, i've never used a b43 myself | 00:13 |
| shihan | VlanZ, yeah | 00:13 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | deww: you wouldnt know any servers would you? all i found was irc.servercentra.net ... | 00:13 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, guess it depends on teh mail ser4ver package you have running | 00:13 |
| shihan | Krambiorix, what does your imap for you? | 00:13 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | *l | 00:13 |
| deww | xxSn1p3rxx: wrong channel for it, but check efnet.org, unofficial page. | 00:14 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, ahhh lol that package is already installed i believe is there a command line to edit the installer to read from the directory and install insteal of grabbing from the internet? | 00:14 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | kk tnx :) | 00:14 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, dovecot | 00:14 |
| VlanZ | shihan: i'm just curious, when i run a VM, the RAM consumption of the host never changes no matter how many VM i power up | 00:14 |
| shihan | VlanZ, which vmware btw? | 00:15 |
| VlanZ | shihan: workstation | 00:15 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, not a clue unfortunately | 00:15 |
| shihan | VlanZ, yeah, thats what i use, where are you watching memory from? | 00:15 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, i can't connect with telnet | 00:15 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, could it be a firewall issue? | 00:15 |
| k4r1m | damn ubuntu, just deleted centrifydc after an update and I can no longer login to my machine >.< | 00:16 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, there are times when an update will replace the old .conf file with a newer one. You might want to find the dovecot files, likelt in /etc/dovecot/ and look at the names of the files there. Im not familure with dovecot | 00:16 |
| VlanZ | shihan: system monitor, free -m, ANYTHING | 00:16 |
| rtcg | Well, I'm giving up on 10.04 audio. It's too choppy. Maybe I'll truy again later. | 00:16 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, is there a offline install FAQ possibly? i'll be right back also thank you for your help thus far greatly appreaciated | 00:16 |
| tsimpson | VlanZ: I'd assume vmware would reserve the memory just before starting up the VM, rather than allocating it bit by bit | 00:17 |
| shihan | VlanZ, watch top, you should see vmware-vmx process which reports its memory, it should change a bit for each vm | 00:17 |
| WeThePeople | how do i find out the free space amount on windows mounted disk? | 00:17 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, all files have a last modified date in the past | 00:17 |
| escott | WeThePeople, df -h should say | 00:17 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, how do you connect, from outside the lan? | 00:17 |
| shihan | Krambiorix, checp "ps -ef |grep imap" you should see some dovecot proc's | 00:17 |
| blackshirt | krambioric, if you can't telnet your imap,something goes wrong | 00:18 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, just having a look atm | 00:18 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc outside, but it tried telnet localhost 143 and can't connect | 00:18 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, no problem take your time | 00:18 |
| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, have a look at this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access | 00:18 |
| Krambiorix | shihan, http://pastebin.com/yRx3f0KV | 00:18 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, was the server using a static IP address? Sounds like it might have changed, so port forwarding no longer works | 00:19 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, if thats true, its not recieving mail either | 00:19 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, static ip, didn't change, cause i can login with ssh still | 00:19 |
| VlanZ | shihan: yeah, i can see that, but if i add up all the vm processes, i end up with a much larger amount compared to what free -m tells me | 00:19 |
| compdoc | oh, good | 00:19 |
| WeThePeople | will deleting windows and then reinstalling windows mess up the grub? | 00:20 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, there is no default firewall enabled in Ubuntu | 00:20 |
| escott | WeThePeople, yes | 00:20 |
| shihan | VlanZ, well, depends on which column your looking at, res is the "memory im really using" column | 00:20 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, can you telnet port 25 on the server? | 00:20 |
| mariusz_ | hej | 00:20 |
| escott | VlanZ, it might be sharing pages between the VMs | 00:21 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, iptables is running ... But i added iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s [my_ip] --dport 143 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEP | 00:21 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc yes, i can telnet 25 on localhost | 00:21 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, but from the outside, is port 25 reaching the server? | 00:21 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc yes | 00:22 |
| VlanZ | shihan: at the moment i just have two VM running, one is 1.1G and the other is 1.0G. But free -m only sees 1204Mb | 00:23 |
| k4r1m | is there anyway to print a user's password using root? | 00:24 |
| escott | k4r1m, no | 00:24 |
| k4r1m | escott :( | 00:25 |
| shihan | Krambiorix, by default (iirc) ubuntu only enables the ssl port for imap (993) and disables 143 | 00:25 |
| tsimpson | k4r1m: passwords are stored using a one-way hashing algorithm, so you can't reverse that to get the password back. though root can change the password for any user | 00:25 |
| compdoc | Krambiorix, if you can ssh to it, what happens if you type in: telnet 127.0.0.1 143 | 00:26 |
| shihan | VlanZ, ahhh, vmware workstation can be quite tricky with the way it handles memory | 00:26 |
| shihan | :q! | 00:26 |
| shihan | oops | 00:26 |
| k4r1m | I just tried reseting but that doesn't seem to work either.. tells me user doesn't exist | 00:26 |
| VlanZ | shihan: might be a stupid question, but how do i exactly read this Mem: 15936 5700 10235 0 76 4420 | 00:26 |
| escott | k4r1m, what are you trying to do? | 00:26 |
| VlanZ | used 5.7G and cached 4.4G? | 00:27 |
| zack6849 | Hey guys, how do I use the advanced partitioning tool, when I try to select my 150gb partition it says "no root file system is defined, please correct this In the partitioning menu" | 00:27 |
| escott | VlanZ, yes | 00:27 |
| shihan | VlanZ, yeah, | 00:27 |
| k4r1m | escott: my user on machine is an active directory user via centrifydc.. I ran an update and janitor and I believe it removed centrify. I can no longer log in. | 00:27 |
| VlanZ | bu why so much cached? | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, you using the something other manual install option? | 00:28 |
| Krambiorix | compdoc, 993 works | 00:28 |
| zack6849 | I used install with windows | 00:28 |
| zack6849 | I'm on the desktop 12.04 lts | 00:28 |
| k4r1m | also my user doesn't exist inside passwd | 00:28 |
| escott | zack6849, in the installer you need to have a partition for which you specify the mountpoint as "/" any data on that partition will be deleted | 00:28 |
| shihan | VlanZ, linux tends to just chew up mem for cache by design, it wont erally impact anything if something needs memory | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, Can you be a little more clear on what you are doing ay least for me and be sure to use nicks. ;) | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | at* | 00:29 |
| escott | k4r1m, active directory is a windows thing... presumably you must be using some kind of ldap or samba connector to AD | 00:29 |
| zack6849 | Well wilee, I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu | 00:29 |
| escott | k4r1m, but the user would not appear in /etc/passwd if it were an LDAP or AD account | 00:29 |
| k4r1m | escott: yeah centrifyDc | 00:29 |
| zack6849 | And it gives me a few options in the installer | 00:29 |
| zack6849 | Replace windows, install with windows, and something else | 00:30 |
| Skapare | shihan: worse, it frequently lags on starting writes to devices ... it just leaves what your program writes in that cache until a sync call | 00:30 |
| Eighteens | Hello, i'm trying to help my dad get m4v, and ogg files to work inside his browser, we are both on 10.04, it's working on mine, we both use chromium-browser, i forgot which plugin i installed to make this work, can someone give me the sudo apt-get install plugin-name | 00:30 |
| escott | k4r1m, so if centrify was the interface to the AD server then you need to reinstall centrify | 00:30 |
| zack6849 | I selected install with | 00:30 |
| VlanZ | shihan: however, assuming i'm running two VMs and i open line 20 firefox pages till i cap the 1.0G that i've allocated for that VM and the system monitor does show me that on the gest VM, how is it possible that i just see 1.2G on the host? | 00:30 |
| k4r1m | escott: well actually I think centrify is still here | 00:31 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, A true dual boot is partitioned installs, the ubuntu install from windows is only a file in windows. | 00:31 |
| zack6849 | And when I select the partition I want and hit install now, it says that a root file system isn't defined | 00:31 |
| zack6849 | Wilee, I'm doing dual boot. | 00:31 |
| k4r1m | escott: adinfo says the machine is joined but centrifydc is down | 00:31 |
| zack6849 | With partitions | 00:31 |
| i7c | BBBBBB/BBBBBBconditionally fatal and cause an exit with a nonzero exit; this applies to internal inconsistencies and some cases of running out of memory. All error messages are written to the standard error stream; normal output from executed commands is written to standard output. | 00:31 |
| i7c | sorry for that | 00:31 |
| escott | VlanZ, the 1.0GB limit on the VM memory is the limit on RAM, but the VM still has 2^32 or 2^64 addressable. so the VM might decide given its limited RAM that it wants to swap out the unused firefox pages | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, Are doing a manual install from the something else option on the live cd install? | 00:32 |
| zack6849 | No, I'm doing install Ubuntu alongside windows | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, And how are you doing that? | 00:33 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | sorry perhaps out of topic but... anybody have knowhow on wifi cantennas ? | 00:33 |
| zack6849 | It then gives me two sliders to splitnthe parfition I want | 00:33 |
| zack6849 | But I didn't want it split | 00:33 |
| zack6849 | I already sized it how I wished | 00:33 |
| zack6849 | so iI hit advanced partitioning tool | 00:33 |
| escott | k4r1m, you'll have to find someone who knows more about this centrify program | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, If you were paying attention at the gui before that one there was a something else option, this is why I asked you that first. | 00:34 |
| k4r1m | how can I add a new user from the recovery shell? I tried using 'adduser' and proceeded to gdm and got a crash after login. | 00:34 |
| zack6849 | Shohld I use the something else option? | 00:34 |
| VlanZ | escott: that's it i'm going to create a VM with 6GB of available ram, and then i'm running linpack on it. If i'm not seeing anything on the host i think i could break something | 00:34 |
| k4r1m | is there a special group or permission users need to have to run gnome desktop? | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, Not sure to be honest we are not really communicating, so I can't help in good concious. ;) | 00:35 |
| zack6849 | What is it you need to kniw wilee? | 00:35 |
| zack6849 | *know | 00:35 |
| zack6849 | apologies for typos, I'm on a phone | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | zack6849, I think the channel in general is your best help with the info you have given, someone can do it no biggie. ;) | 00:36 |
| WeThePeople | escott, so when windows is reinstalled will their be a dual boot menu | 00:36 |
| zack6849 | Im sorry what | 00:36 |
| escott | k4r1m, you might try logging into the new user on tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) then stopping your dm (sudo service gdm stop) and then startx | 00:36 |
| escott | !grub | WeThePeople follow the instructions here after windows overwrites the MBR | 00:37 |
| ubottu | WeThePeople follow the instructions here after windows overwrites the MBR: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 00:37 |
| WeThePeople | escott, will ubuntu fs be ok | 00:38 |
| escott | WeThePeople, fs? | 00:38 |
| WeThePeople | filesyste | 00:38 |
| escott | VlanZ, why are you bothered by this? | 00:38 |
| WeThePeople | m | 00:38 |
| Eighteens | mp4 m4v ogg browser plugin for chromium on 10.04, which sudo command line do i use | 00:38 |
| zack6849 | Can somone please help me? | 00:39 |
| escott | WeThePeople, for windows? no windows will need NTFS on its partition, but the windows installer will take care of making the windows filesystem just make sure you have a partition to install windows onto | 00:39 |
| bglazer | I used disper to extend my display to an external monitor. How do I now change the offset of the external display up 500 pixels? | 00:39 |
| IngElias | Hey guys I have a problem with ubuntu 11.10 and xfce-desktop, sometimes my desktop wallpaper is changed to unity desktop wallpaper and icons desapears except the ones which are archives created by me | 00:39 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, to install that plugin?? | 00:39 |
| Eighteens | yes | 00:39 |
| zack6849 | All I need to know is why the partitioner tool says that I haven't selected a root file system | 00:40 |
| WeThePeople | escott, will ubuntu be ok if grub goes | 00:40 |
| zack6849 | How do I do this? | 00:40 |
| VlanX | aaaand of course the system crashed | 00:40 |
| === fire_ is now known as fire | ||
| VlanX | :( | 00:40 |
| escott | bglazer, xrandr could do that... not sure the exact incantation something like xrandr --output DVI-0 --pos 0x500 ... | 00:40 |
| Eighteens | WeThePeople, i have it working on mine, but i forgot what i did to make it work, trying to get it to work on my dads, we are on identical systems under 10.04 | 00:41 |
| escott | WeThePeople, shouldn't affect the OS other than your need to reinstall grub onto the mbr | 00:41 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, did you download it from a different site so it wont be automatically addes to chrome? | 00:41 |
| gimpy38 | Running Ubuntu Server 12.04 with LXDE+Openbox I get no thumbnails of any videos with nautilus or pcmanfm. Any clue as to why? | 00:41 |
| VlanX | escott: maybe running xlinpack inside a VM is not a good idea :/ | 00:41 |
| WeThePeople | escott, thanks | 00:41 |
| bglazer | Thanks escott, I was hoping there might be a solution that didn't involve xrandr but I'll look into it | 00:42 |
| zack6849 | Ugh | 00:42 |
| usr13 | zack6849: The partitioner tool tells you that you have not selected a root file system because you haven't. You need a partition for / and for swap, at the very least, (two partitions). If you designate one for /home/, that will be three; / and /home/ and swap. etc. etc. etc. | 00:42 |
| escott | bglazer, im sure there are some guis, but its all xrandr in the end | 00:42 |
| zack6849 | Oh okay | 00:43 |
| zack6849 | Thanks usr | 00:43 |
| usr13 | zack6849: NP | 00:43 |
| zack6849 | Usr, is there one that I should give momre memory too? | 00:43 |
| zack6849 | Or should I make it even or what? | 00:44 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, if you did that, find the file you downloaded open up the extensions page in chrome and drag and drop.. its that easy | 00:44 |
| usr13 | zack6849: How much room do you have for the Ubuntu install (altogether)? | 00:44 |
| k4r1m | hmm that didn't work.. now "I'm getting account cannot be access this time, contact your system admin" | 00:44 |
| zack6849 | About 200gb | 00:44 |
| usr13 | zack6849: If you are going with / and /home/ and swap, I would suggest 20G for / and 6G for swap and the rest for /home/ | 00:45 |
| k4r1m | loool I think my account is locked. | 00:45 |
| usr13 | zack6849: How much RAM is in this system? | 00:45 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan, in that walk-through ../pool/main/p/patch | 00:45 |
| the56ker-MouSe | :/patch/$ sudo dpkg -i patch* does not exhist | 00:45 |
| Eighteens | WeThePeople, i think i used sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg "but i didn't want to guess" | 00:45 |
| zack6849 | Usr, it doesn't tell me what goes where | 00:46 |
| Eighteens | or sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra | 00:46 |
| zack6849 | and its only one slider for splitting in half | 00:46 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, you need to get those videos to play in chrome | 00:46 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Sure it does. / is root. /home/ is home. swap is swap | 00:46 |
| zack6849 | No but look | 00:47 |
| zack6849 | 1 sec | 00:47 |
| Eighteens | WeThePeople, actually i'm using chromium-browser | 00:47 |
| usr13 | zack6849: I usually like to do it in this order: | 00:47 |
| Eighteens | very close to chrome tho | 00:47 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, download 'ubuntu restricted extras' in soft center | 00:47 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, yeah i know :) | 00:47 |
| Eighteens | WeThePeople, i had him do that, video still didn't play | 00:47 |
| usr13 | zack6849: 8G for swap. 20G for /. the rest for /home/ | 00:47 |
| zack6849 | Look usr | 00:48 |
| zack6849 | http://db.tt/hIJzv0ou | 00:48 |
| WeThePeople | eighteens, sounds like something is conflicting | 00:48 |
| zack6849 | It doesn't label them. | 00:48 |
| k4r1m | is an account lock feature in ubuntu after entering bad password too many times? | 00:48 |
| Eighteens | WeThePeople thanks for the help | 00:48 |
| escott | k4r1m, not by default, and since your account isn't a standard unix account anyways we are going to have to point you back to your AD server centrify configuration | 00:49 |
| zack6849 | Usr13, see what I mean? | 00:49 |
| escott | k4r1m, you might want to try the #ubuntu-server channel they *might* know more about AD | 00:50 |
| the56ker-MouSe | shihan? | 00:50 |
| usr13 | zack6849: What I see is that you have yet to create any partitions for Ubuntu. Do you see where it says, "Allocate drive space by dragging the devider below." And "use the advanced partitioning tool for more control"? | 00:51 |
| zack6849 | Yep. | 00:51 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Try clicking on "advanced partitioning tool". | 00:52 |
| zack6849 | Now what | 00:52 |
| usr13 | zack6849: (in other words, it was waiting for YOU to do something. | 00:52 |
| zack6849 | I see my main partition (800gb NTFS) | 00:52 |
| zack6849 | And the one I wanna install ubuntu on | 00:52 |
| zack6849 | The 200gb one | 00:52 |
| jagginess | zack6849, and swap? | 00:53 |
| zack6849 | What jagg? | 00:53 |
| jagginess | zack6849, swap partition (type 83) | 00:53 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Yea, you need a swap partition too. | 00:53 |
| jagginess | or (type 82? :/) | 00:53 |
| zack6849 | Can I resize the 200gb one and split it somehow? | 00:54 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | swap should be around the same ammount as your system ram | 00:54 |
| jagginess | zack6849, can use the end of it.. you should be fine with a gig swap | 00:54 |
| mmnicolas | xxSn1p3rxx: unless.. you have more than 1gb of ram | 00:54 |
| usr13 | jagginess: Yea, it's 82 | 00:54 |
| zack6849 | I don't know what's going on right now.. | 00:54 |

| xxSn1p3rxx | mmnicolas: yeah... i dont think i ever saw my swap being used... and i just have 2 gigs | 00:55 |

| shihan | the56ker-MouSe, whic part are you up 2? it says something about not needing the patch if it doesnt exist | 00:58 |
| jagginess | no screw that.. he can just use "/" and "swap".. | 00:58 |
| Domincii | I was also told to change UID in fstab to 1000,default to stop those pesky error messages popping up due to lack of permission but I can't seem to fidn the part where it says UID 1000 | 00:58 |
| zack6849 | What is the size in ubuntu measured in? | 00:58 |
| zack6849 | MB? | 00:58 |
| bazhang | Domincii, check with sudo blkid | 00:59 |
| Basstard` | zack6849: The wrong one. | 00:59 |
| bazhang | !blkid | Domincii | 00:59 |
| ubottu | Domincii: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 00:59 |
| vankooch | Hi I'm tring to create a custom ubuntu iso. I'm using the mini iso from 12.04. I've tried to use a preseed file which is on the iso too, but I cann't load it. I've added file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed to my txt.cfg with no success | 00:59 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | zack: a standard install with 12.04 is around 2.5 gigs | 00:59 |
| usr13 | jagginess: Come on, you know what MB and GB mean. | 00:59 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Come on, you know what MB and GB mean. | 00:59 |
| blackshirt | thats big | 00:59 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | yeah | 00:59 |
| zack6849 | It didn't say on the page, I was herping | 00:59 |
| zack6849 | >_> | 00:59 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | my current linux box is... 50 mb :-) | 01:00 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | running entirely in RAM | 01:00 |
| usr13 | zack6849: There are three decimal places difference | 01:00 |
| bazhang | !ot | xxSn1p3rxx | 01:00 |
| ubottu | xxSn1p3rxx: #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! | 01:00 |
| escott | Domincii, you would have to add that to the arguments to the mountpoint. what type of partition is this? | 01:00 |
| Basstard` | usr13: Base 2 or 10? SI or IEC? | 01:00 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | o. my bad | 01:00 |
| bazhang | Basstard`, is this really helping? | 01:01 |
| zack6849 | should I be setting these to logical or primary | 01:01 |
| escott | zack6849, ubuntu doesn't care | 01:01 |
| zack6849 | K then | 01:01 |
| jagginess | zack6849, you can use minimal , "/" and "swap".. it's optional to you if you want a separate partition for /home .. | 01:01 |
| Basstard` | bazhang: It helps to be accurate, even in the question. | 01:01 |
| escott | zack6849, you are limited to 4 primaries, but you can use 1 primary to contain essentially unlimited numbers of logicals | 01:01 |
| usr13 | zack6849: What you will have is one primary with a couple logical partitions within that primary partition. | 01:01 |
| usr13 | zack6849: So, Logical | 01:02 |
| zack6849 | Usr, which do I install to? | 01:02 |
| jagginess | zack6849, best to stcik with gpt if you're using it, otherwise try to stick to 4 primary partitions | 01:02 |
| Kre10s | I need to start the restructed drivers manager from command line... whents the cmd name? | 01:02 |
| usr13 | zack6849: All three. | 01:02 |

| zack6849 | No but | 01:02 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Send pic | 01:03 |

| zack6849 | Yeah, but | 01:05 |
| zack6849 | Which do I install bootloader to | 01:05 |

| zack6849 | Swap, /, ,/home? | 01:05 |
| escott | zack6849, thats correct as is. /dev/sda | 01:05 |
| zack6849 | I assume /? | 01:05 |
| usr13 | zack6849: You will install the bootloader to the MBR of that drive. | 01:05 |
| zack6849 | .... | 01:06 |
| zack6849 | Usr, did you click my image.. | 01:06 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | may i post ubuntu related web links here? | 01:06 |
| escott | zack6849, the kernel and support files for boot will be in /boot folder on /dev/sda5 | 01:06 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | mainly for zack... | 01:06 |

| zack6849 | It requests I select a device for bootloader install | 01:06 |
| bazhang | xxSn1p3rxx, about what | 01:06 |
| zack6849 | Which do I select | 01:06 |
| jagginess | zack6849, /dev/sda | 01:06 |
| CreativeRound | Hello, Is it recommended to do a sudo do-release-upgrade on ubuntu 9.1? | 01:07 |
| escott | zack6849, /dev/sda is correct. that dropbox at the bottom of the screen is showing the correct selection | 01:07 |
| zack6849 | Herp | 01:07 |
| zack6849 | Fuuuuuuu | 01:07 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | its a manual partitioning guide for ubuntu 11...with screenshots.. could be helpful :-) | 01:07 |
| usr13 | zack6849: click Install Now | 01:07 |
| zack6849 | I did | 01:07 |
| zack6849 | Errir | 01:07 |
| escott | zack6849, /dev/sda in the context of the bootloader means the MBR of the disk known as /dev/sda | 01:07 |

| bazhang | !eolupgrades > CreativeRound | 01:08 |
| ubottu | CreativeRound, please see my private message | 01:08 |
| jrib | CreativeRound: I'd suggest you consider upgrading to 10.04 and then to 12.04 (since 10.04 and 12.04 are both LTS, you can skip the intermediate versions when upgrading) | 01:08 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Oh, I see. / is too small. | 01:08 |
| escott | zack6849, the partition for / is too small. that needs to be at least 10GB | 01:09 |

| xxSn1p3rxx | zack... | 01:09 |
| zack6849 | Wat | 01:09 |
| usr13 | zack6849: 2046MB is only 2G | 01:09 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | take a look at this guide... its well documented and has screenshots | 01:09 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/04/manual-disk-partitioning-guide-for-ubuntu-11-04/ | 01:09 |
| zack6849 | What do I set it to then | 01:09 |
| usr13 | zack6849: So make it 20G (not 2G) | 01:09 |
| zack6849 | lol, I failed | 01:09 |
| usr13 | zack6849: delete /home | 01:10 |
| CreativeRound | what would you recommend for a web server version? | 01:10 |
| CreativeRound | 12.04? | 01:10 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Then make / bigger | 01:10 |
| zack6849 | I know | 01:10 |
| zack6849 | Doin it | 01:10 |
| k4r1m | escott: After a little more digging it seem that I'm connected to my AD and I can log in fine from the recovery shell using "su username" but I can't login from gdm | 01:10 |
| bazhang | CreativeRound, LTS ? yes, thats five years of support | 01:10 |
| jagginess | zack6849, you can stick with 2 partitions (as i originally said--if you'd like), make it as big as you like and the other has to be at least 1 gig (i think 1 gig for swap is large enough) | 01:10 |
| escott | k4r1m, su username won't work because the user doesn't exist unless the AD service is working | 01:11 |
| k4r1m | escott: it did work | 01:11 |
| k4r1m | NVM IT'S WORKING :))))) | 01:11 |
| jagginess | zack6849, "/home" would exist on the "/" mount partition, if you decide to only use 2 partitions | 01:11 |
| k4r1m | i guess rejoining the vpn updated the cache | 01:11 |
| zack6849 | Jagg, no offense but all you're doing is confusing me | 01:11 |
| jagginess | zack6849, well they're now telling you to do 2.. | 01:12 |
| escott | k4r1m, think about about the stuff in /etc/passwd. that is *all* you need to create an account, so things like LDAP and AD can just provide the required information (password auth process, $HOME location, UID and GIDs) to the login process, but without them it says "I don't know how to set $HOME or how to set GID or UID | 01:12 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Did you change it? | 01:12 |
| jagginess | zack6849, it's simply 2 partitions, one for ext4(which would host "/"), and the other is "swap" | 01:12 |
| zack6849 | Yes usr | 01:12 |
| zack6849 | Then I redid /home | 01:12 |
| zack6849 | And am installing | 01:12 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Good. | 01:12 |
| usr13 | zack6849: How big was /home? | 01:13 |

| CreativeRound | how do I upgrade to 10.04? | 01:13 |
| zack6849 | Errm | 01:13 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | normally... ubuntu makes 4 partitions... home, / (root), boot, and an optional 4th for general storage | 01:13 |
| zack6849 | I forget | 01:13 |
| zack6849 | I did 8gb swap and 20gb / | 01:13 |
| zack6849 | Soo | 01:13 |
| wilee-nilee | AndrewX192, From? | 01:13 |
| zack6849 | Like 172gb? | 01:13 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | zack how much RAM does your system have? | 01:14 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Ok, goodl. (If you ever re-install, you will be glad you have separate /home/ partition.) | 01:14 |
| zack6849 | 12gb | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | xxSn1p3rxx, Ubuntu will make two partition only unless you specify other wise / and swap | 01:14 |
| jagginess | usr13, a separate /home partition really has no gain at all.. unless you're hosting thousands of users on a dedicated san storage or something | 01:14 |
| usr13 | zack6849: You mean 120GB ? | 01:14 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | ok then you really dont need a big swap... | 01:14 |
| zack6849 | Sure | 01:14 |
| usr13 | jagginess: Not true. | 01:14 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | you got more then enough there | 01:15 |
| zack6849 | XD | 01:15 |
| Basstard` | If he wants to hibernate. | 01:15 |
| zack6849 | I was told something called berg lookes better than grub | 01:15 |
| zack6849 | What is it? | 01:15 |
| the56ker-MouSe | does anyone know how to get my wireless adapter showing in connections again? or did i screw it up that bad lol it still shows in terminal lspci but it doesnt show under settings>network> wireless is no longer there | 01:15 |
| usr13 | zack6849: Just use grub | 01:15 |
| escott | zack6849, an unsupported bit of software that appears for less than 1 second during the boot | 01:16 |
| jagginess | usr13, well if you can show a link how much benefit it is, i'd be glad to look.. I've been using linux for many many years :).. Never seen any performance gain with it | 01:16 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest14634 | ||
| xxSn1p3rxx | wilee-nilee: ah... so default is just home and ext ? | 01:16 |
| zack6849 | Lol, okay wont use it then | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | the56ker-MouSe, You probably want to give a synopsis of what git you where you're at. | 01:16 |
| usr13 | jagginess: I did not say there would be a performance gain. | 01:16 |
| zack6849 | How do people make it to where their.terminal has a cool loga and stuff with ascii? | 01:16 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | er wait.. nm. | 01:16 |
| zack6849 | Always been curious | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | xxSn1p3rxx, actually yeah it will wrap the swap in a a extended I have seen and a home, I always do manula installs so not sure on the extended being made. | 01:17 |
| the56ker-MouSe | wilee-nilee, i have been trying to get my wireless adapter to work firmware was missing and i did a couple of walk throughs to get it to work everything ended up smoothly working out but now i have no wireless settings and i still cant enable drivers from settings>additional drivers> | 01:17 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, what does rfkill list say | 01:18 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | wilee-nilee: is it viable to use FAT as extended for storage? or is there a security risk if its not a native linux partition? | 01:18 |
| wilee-nilee | the56ker-MouSe, cool that should get you the help you need. ;) | 01:18 |
| the56ker-MouSe | wilee-nilee, BCM4306/2 adapter | 01:18 |
| CreativeRound | how do I upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10? | 01:18 |
| wilee-nilee | the56ker-MouSe, outside my pay range otherwise. | 01:18 |
| escott | xxSn1p3rxx, (a) doesn't support posix permissions (b) just a overall ****ty filesystem without journalling or large file support | 01:18 |
| usr13 | CreativeRound: With AlternateCD or USB | 01:18 |
| jrib | CreativeRound: read the links ubottu gave you last time you asked | 01:19 |
| CreativeRound | ok thanks | 01:19 |
| CreativeRound | its an AWS server I'm updating | 01:19 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | escott: hah... i guess the only plus side is the interoperability with windows... | 01:19 |
| jagginess | CreativeRound, you're asking this for like the 3rd time.. why not just download 12.04? (also read the message ubottu gave on !upgrade) | 01:19 |
| escott | xxSn1p3rxx, but you certainly could use it for data files (dont use it for $HOME or anything user sensitive) | 01:19 |
| escott | xxSn1p3rxx, probably better off using NTFS-3g for interop | 01:20 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, (rfkill list) returns nothing | 01:20 |
| wilee-nilee | CreativeRound, I would just install 12.04 and get the 5 years coverage if it was me. | 01:20 |
| usr13 | jagginess: Maybe he just wants 10.04? | 01:20 |
| xxSn1p3rxx | escott: ah... yeah ill go ntfs then. | 01:20 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, sounds like the kernel drivers aren't even loaded then | 01:20 |
| CreativeRound | thats what I'm going to do wilee | 01:20 |
| CreativeRound | what does that provide me? support? | 01:20 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, possbily im typing the command wrong? | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | CreativeRound, It wont go end of life for one and yes support here. | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | not for five years anyway. | 01:21 |
| WeThePeople | what does the last part mean the 'image'>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1227721/ | 01:21 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, it would just be "rfkill list" if you were typing it wrong you would probably get some kind of error message | 01:21 |
| the56ker-MouSe | ok yes just returns to command | 01:22 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, what kind of wireless card do you have | 01:22 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, broadcom BCM4306/2 | 01:22 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, have you followed the !broadcom instructions to install the drivers? | 01:23 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, i currently have no active internet connection on the laptop either | 01:23 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, to my knowledge i have followed the offline instructions if you can provide me a link i can double check to see if ive already tried it lol | 01:23 |
| escott | !broadcom | the56ker-MouSe | 01:24 |
| ubottu | the56ker-MouSe: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:24 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, yes i just did all of that no errors everything went smooth | 01:24 |
| the56ker-MouSe | escott, i believe last night i di the ndiswrapper guide and that mite possibly be what made my adapter disapear last night i started with no firmware installed but the adapter was there now everything installed smoothly and the adapter never came back but it shows in lspci still | 01:26 |
| superfake123 | when I set 'Auto-hide the Launcher' to 'On' it does not ever reveal again D: How can I fix? | 01:26 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Did you get the firmware installed? | 01:27 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, following the broadcom b43xx guide everything installed smoothly | 01:28 |
| escott | the56ker-MouSe, lspci just shows that the hardware exists, but it doesn't mean the OS knows anything about it. you need to load the drivers | 01:28 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Ok then, issue command iwconfig #See what it says. | 01:28 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, it iwconfig returned no wireless extensions | 01:29 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, escott, like i said it was there last night before i tried the ndiswrapper guide and now its not ;_; | 01:30 |
| SparkyFlary | what's the difference between ubuntu server and debian? | 01:30 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, one is ubuntu the other is debian | 01:30 |
| eroach101 | - - | 01:30 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, escott, i believe i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper and another guide | 01:31 |
| SparkyFlary | besides the names.. | 01:31 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: sudo ndiswrapper -l | 01:31 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, traditionally ubuntu takes debian testing, freezes packages for a few months and bug fixes so ubuntu is approximately debian testing lagged a few months, but thats not set in stone | 01:31 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: sudo ndiswrapper -l #This command will show the currently installed drivers. | 01:32 |
| SparkyFlary | what about the server edition | 01:32 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, thats the guide i followed last night its today i did the other guide that i probably should have done first | 01:33 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Do you have the inf file? | 01:33 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, what about it. its a different set of packages more appropriate for a server install | 01:33 |
| SparkyFlary | why would they make a sever edition if debian does just that? | 01:33 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, it returned bcmwl5 annd bcmwl5a drivers installed | 01:33 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Good. Now go back to the guide and take it up from there. Finish the process. | 01:34 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, because some people want to run ubuntu. debian includes all the gui programs if you want them | 01:34 |
| rickbol | since we're on the subject: bcm4311... how to? | 01:34 |
| SparkyFlary | i don't want gui | 01:34 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, i also did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560 | 01:34 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Which one is yours? What is your wireless device? | 01:35 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, ubuntu is to debian as scientific linux is to rhel, with the exception that ubuntu doesn't target debian compatibility to the same extent that scientific would to rhel | 01:35 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr12 my is bcm4306/2 | 01:35 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, ** i did this guide today it went smooth https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 01:36 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: So you are down to step 3 | 01:36 |
| === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ | ||
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, your saying i should continue the ndiswrapper guide and try it agian? | 01:36 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, you can start from ubuntu-minimal and then install whatever programs/ubuntu flavor you want | 01:36 |
| jrib | SparkyFlary: probably the biggest differences imo are canonical supporting ubuntu and the release cycles | 01:36 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Did you do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"? | 01:36 |
| the56ker-MouSe | usr13, i did all 3 guides that i linked you 2 last night and 1 today | 01:37 |
| blackshirt1 | SparkyFlary: escot was right, you can play with ubuntu-minimal and build grow up your system do you like | 01:37 |
| SparkyFlary | so ubuntu server might have more features and might be better for me compared to debian? | 01:37 |
| escott | !best | SparkyFlary | 01:38 |
| ubottu | SparkyFlary: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:38 |
| jrib | SparkyFlary: have you said what you want to do exactly yet? | 01:38 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: Wait a minute. Do you see the date on these instructions? "2008" 3 years old! | 01:38 |
| escott | SparkyFlary, if you are familiar with the ubuntu init (upstart) and like the ubuntu release cycle, then you would probably like ubuntu-server over debian | 01:38 |
| SparkyFlary | yeah, I'll be using it as a vps | 01:38 |

| escott | SparkyFlary, otherwise at the level of core server applications you probably won't find much of a difference between the two | 01:39 |
| usr13 | the56ker-MouSe: See my PM | 01:40 |

| c2tarun | my idle laptop screen is going black in just 35 seconds :( I disabled it from every where. but when I open vlc it is working fine :( | 01:43 |
| rickbol | where is "System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers" in 12.04 | 01:43 |
| c2tarun | I have kubuntu and I disable all the factors that can turn off screen :( | 01:43 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: type jockey after pressing meta key | 01:44 |
| bglazer | escott: I tried xrandr and it only detects one display. The size is the combined size of the two displays. | 01:44 |
| escott | bglazer, nvidia? | 01:44 |
| bglazer | Yep | 01:44 |
| escott | bglazer, goodluck | 01:44 |
| bglazer | Haha thanks. Nothing but problems with nv | 01:45 |
| jrib | bglazer: you're using nvidia or nv for the driver? | 01:46 |
| bglazer | Sorry, it's the proprietary nvidia | 01:46 |
| bglazer | drivers | 01:46 |
| xcervo | hello guys just wast to ask if know some irc channels for android support? | 01:46 |
| Sokel | wut | 01:46 |
| jrib | bglazer: have you tried just messing around with nvidia-settings? | 01:46 |
| jrib | xcervo: maybe #android? | 01:46 |
| bglazer | Yeah I was looking for a scripted solution. | 01:47 |
| bglazer | I can't get nvidia-settings to do it from the command line | 01:47 |
| jrib | bglazer: to do what exactly (I missed your original question)? | 01:47 |
| ClientAlive | I'm kind of curius: If I'm running x window server on both my laptop and desktop, and I have ssh on both (so that I'm able to connect to my desktop from my laptop over ssh) - can't I make whatever is/ or would display on the desktop's screen show up on my laptop's screen? What I mean is to just have x on the desktop pipe over through ssh to my laptop. I know about vnc but I wonder if this can be done. | 01:47 |
| superfake123 | when I set 'Auto-hide the Launcher' to 'On' it does not ever reveal again D: How can I fix? | 01:47 |
| bglazer | jrib: I've got a second monitor that I've extended my display onto using disper. I would like to move the the second display down by 500 pixels. | 01:48 |
| rickbol | c2tarun, meta key? ALT or CTRL? jockey in a terminal = "cmd not found" | 01:48 |
| xcervo | jrib, i cant access there | 01:48 |
| c2tarun | ohh... the that have windows symbol over it. | 01:48 |
| jrib | !register | xcervo | 01:49 |
| ubottu | xcervo: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 01:49 |
| escott | ClientAlive, you can ssh -X and then run gui application and they will appear on the local display but the application is running on the other machine. migrating X applications from one display to another usually requires another X server in the middle to provide a virtual display and usually breaks acceleration | 01:49 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: ^ | 01:49 |
| jrib | xcervo: after you register and identify, you will be able to join #android | 01:49 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: ohh... the that have windows symbol over it. | 01:49 |
| xcervo | thanks jrib | 01:50 |
| jrib | bglazer: I see; and you need to have it scripted somehow? | 01:50 |
| bglazer | jrib: Yes, the nvidia-settings GUI is a hassle. | 01:51 |
| ClientAlive | escott: What you said first I think is it. I have a programming project on the desktop but have no physical access to it right now. I don't want to copy the files over and modify them since I use revision control (afraid to freak mercurial out). So I'd like to use ssh to just run a gui app on the desktop but see it and control it here on my laptop. | 01:51 |
| escott | ClientAlive, afraid to freak out mercurial??!?!?!?!?!?! its a distributed VCS thats the whole point | 01:52 |
| bglazer | ClientAlive: Couldn't you just clone the project? | 01:52 |
| ClientAlive | escott: idk, I don't really know how to use it very well and it's the program I need to work on right now (not learning mercurial) :) | 01:52 |
| jrib | bglazer: right, disper is the only thing I know about. I think you can pass something like --load-config-file to nvidia-settings (and you could create the config file by saving your settings after using the gui one time). But I've never used nvidia-settings this way and I've only used disper to do something very simple | 01:52 |
| nicko_ | Is this a bug.? drag selecting on Libreoffice writer on Ubuntu 12.10 cancels out after selecting many words? | 01:53 |
| jrib | !12.10 | nicko_ | 01:53 |
| ubottu | nicko_: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 01:53 |
| ClientAlive | If I could learn what a clone does without having to spend more than 10 min reading about it I'd do that but I'm pressed for time and need to work on the program (you should see my calendar right now) :) | 01:54 |
| escott | ClientAlive, should just be: hg clone ssh://server:~/path/to/archive, then make your edits and then add the remote spec to the .hgrc so you can hg pull remote | 01:54 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: I'm sure there's some quick intro to mercurial you could read. What's the point of using it if you aren't actually /using/ it | 01:54 |
| rickbol | c2tarun, no jockey. no result from meta-key. ther exist a "/usr/share/jockey/jockey-backend" | 01:54 |
| ClientAlive | escott: remote spec? | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | nicko_, here is the bug and you want #ubuntu+1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1051121 | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1051121 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "Spontaneous loss of text selection when dragging cursor." [Undecided,New] | 01:55 |
| ClientAlive | and what happens when you clone? What does it do? | 01:55 |
| bglazer | jrib: I've tried doing that to no effect. I don't think it supports hot plugging a new config file in like that. Thanks though. | 01:55 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: which distro are you using? | 01:55 |
| escott | ClientAlive, a clone just copies the whole shebang history and all. the only thing you have to do after that is tell the system you cloned from about the new clone you created (the clone tracks the parent, but the parent does not automatically track the clone) | 01:55 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: I hate to say - you've got a point :) | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | ClientAlive, it is a exact image that can be reinstalled. | 01:55 |
| nicko_ | thanks wilee-nilee | 01:56 |
| rickbol | ubuntustudio (xfce) | 01:56 |
| rickbol | c2tarun: 12.04 | 01:56 |
| escott | ClientAlive, im sure there is a mercurial channel... i use git so i don't know the exact commands, they can walk you through it in a few seconds | 01:56 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: ohh... my bad, I thought you are using ubuntu 12.04, just give me a second | 01:56 |
| rickbol | c2tarun: I am. Ubuntustudio 12.04 lte (xfce) | 01:57 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: do one thing, type jocke in terminal and then press tab, you'll get all the available options. | 01:57 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: mine is jockey-kde, yours must me something similar | 01:57 |
| ClientAlive | escott: Yes, there is a mercurial channel but I think you just about gave me all I need already. The only other thing I wonder is if it's equivalent to clone from the desktop to my laptop, do my work, do my commit, then clone from the laptop to the desktop (once I get back to the desktop) - now that I could handle, if it's equivalent. | 01:58 |
| rickbol | c2tarun: mine is jockey-gtk | 01:59 |
| c2tarun | rickbol: good :) | 01:59 |
| Sn0op2 | can someone please help me. I need to get something done for school and the application wont start up on my windows laptop or my ubuntu laptop. on my netbook, however, it does work but the screen is too small so when it opens it is huge and i cant do my homework on it. on the netbook it asks me before loading if i want to run the application and there is a java logo in it, if this helps. | 02:00 |
| escott | ClientAlive, when you clone desktop -> laptop, then laptop should have an entry in .hgrc for the path to desktop, when you clone back laptop->desktop you would get a brand new copy on the desktop (not what you want) rather you would modify the .hgrc in desktop to reference laptop so you can hg pull. think of clone as being "hg init + setup hgrc to pull in one direction only + hg pull". so going backwards you have done the first bit you | 02:00 |
| escott | just need to do the second | 02:00 |
| escott | ClientAlive, the only thing i dont know about hg is how it handles branches in that case. with git you have to specify the branch to pull to, hg might create a branch whenever you pull/clone so you might have to merge or something | 02:01 |
| rickbol | Jockey claims I'm running Broadcom STA, but no wireless options show up under the net manager in notification area (xfce) | 02:01 |
| Sn0op2 | I can give more information so please help if you can I would really appreciate it | 02:02 |
| escott | ClientAlive, http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/QuickStart#Clone.2C_commit.2C_merge | 02:02 |
| hashpuppy | i have some upstart script that keeps failing and i don't know why. would this be logged anywhere? | 02:02 |
| hashpuppy | failing as in… it starts and then stop | 02:02 |
| ClientAlive | escott: oh, there are no branches to this (very tiny repo with like 5 files - all linear/ no branches) | 02:02 |
| hashpuppy | oh | 02:02 |
| hashpuppy | Syntax error: newline unexpected | 02:02 |
| ClientAlive | escott: thanks | 02:02 |
| escott | ClientAlive, you might end up with a branch with hg. it does some "automatic branch creation" in certain situations | 02:03 |
| ClientAlive | ahh, I see... :) | 02:03 |
| escott | ClientAlive, in some sense a clone is a branch, its just not on the same computer (or in the same folder) | 02:04 |
| Snowie | Evening all. feels like forever since i was here. Hope all is well and everyone is excited for 12.10. can anyone tell me how to stop the dash showing pr0n even when the folder containing all the files is hidden? cheers | 02:04 |
| ClientAlive | escott: what would be wrong with pull/push? | 02:04 |
| escott | ClientAlive, and a pull just syncs the DAGs such that you have might have multiple leaf nodes corresponding to the branches that were in different clones | 02:04 |
| blackshirt1 | hashpuppy: that's a bad error, check agains your script | 02:05 |
| Sn0op2 | I have a question, I have Thawte CA certificate installed on my windows netbook in order to run an application for school. Can I install this on ubuntu somehow so I can run the application from ubuntu laptop?? | 02:05 |
| ClientAlive | escott: I see | 02:05 |
| escott | ClientAlive, push is usually discouraged (at least with git) unless the repo is a bare repo (no work directories) because when you push its not clear how to handle any uncommitted changes in the remote | 02:05 |
| ClientAlive | hmm... | 02:06 |
| ClientAlive | escott: well, looks like I need to quit putting it off and learn how to really use the thing :) I had only worked on one machine with it for so long. Now I have that second computer and bounce back and forth between them. | 02:07 |
| Nautilus | Hi's. In my ubuntu 10.04 the hosts file has this line "ff02::3 ip6-allhosts", but in my fresh install of 12.04 that line isn't there. All I know is that it has to do with ip6 ... anyone know what it does / if I want it? | 02:08 |
| us | hello everybody.. I am having an issue... I cant acces to my session... I star the computer after i put the password It get frozen... I tried to fix using fsck and I get this message.../dev/sda7: superbloque lasta mount time is in the future (by less than a day probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set) fixed... and then I cant access one more time | 02:08 |
| Snowie | Sn0op2, does the application even run on ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| Sn0op2 | never, it didnt work on windows either, i had to install the certificate. but can i do that on ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| escott | ClientAlive, when you pull in git you say "git pull remote branchname" and it downloads the remote HEAD and merges it to branchname. hg should have something similar, but worst case you hg pull remote and end up with a branch that is something like remote/branchname and then have to hg merge remote/branchname localbranchname | 02:08 |
| escott | ClientAlive, its well worth learning enough to get a basic workflow going | 02:09 |
| Snowie | Sn0op2, what i mean is, it runs on windows with the certificate, but im asking if the application itself, whatever it is, would run on ubuntu at all, certificate or not | 02:09 |
| escott | ClientAlive, for a single developer you really only need like 3 commands... its just a matter of knowing what they are and running them in the correct order | 02:10 |
| Snowie | Sn0op2, is it in the browser or something | 02:10 |
| ClientAlive | escott: for sure. Well, by this point I'll be back at the desktop soon anyhow; but, in the future, it would be nice to know. | 02:10 |
| us | hello everybody.. I am having an issue... I cant acces to my session... I star the computer after i put the password It get frozen... I tried to fix using fsck and I get this message.../dev/sda7: superbloque lasta mount time is in the future (by less than a day probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set) fixed... and then I cant access one more time | 02:10 |
| escott | Nautilus, it should be there in 12.04. not sure why it would, but its establishing the ipv6 broadcast ip address | 02:10 |
| Sn0op2 | snowie, it is online but i dont think you would be able to access it because you have to be logged into my school account. | 02:11 |
| Sn0op2 | Snowie, yes it is in the firefox browser still | 02:11 |
| ClientAlive | peace out fellas... | 02:11 |
| escott | ClientAlive, the other reason to clone is its a free backup :) | 02:11 |
| ClientAlive | right | 02:11 |
| Sn0op2 | it just says loading module but it never does anything after that. | 02:11 |
| * Fyodorovna thinks martha stewart would say "clning is a good thing" | 02:12 | |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| Snowie | Sn0op2, i dont want to access it. ok, so if you have firefox, the certificate is part of the browser config i believe. try google adding a certificate to firefox on linux. | 02:13 |
| Snowie | scuse paste sorry To import a certificate into your browser: | 02:13 |
| Snowie | For Firefox: | 02:13 |
| Snowie | Linux: open Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Certificates -> Manage Certificates | 02:13 |
| Snowie | So noone can give me advice on how to stop "hidden files :)" showing up in dash when searching? | 02:14 |
| us | hello everybody.. I am having an issue... I cant acces to my session... I star the computer after i put the password It get frozen... I tried to fix using fsck and I get this message.../dev/sda7: superbloque lasta mount time is in the future (by less than a day probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set) fixed... and then I cant access one more time | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Snowie, turn off show hidden files in nautilus I would suspect. | 02:15 |
| us | sorry for interrupting | 02:15 |
| escott | us, can you login to the tty "ctrl-alt-f1" | 02:15 |
| Snowie | us, i think it's more likely corrupted desktop session. try starting ubuntu in one of the alternate modes from the login screen (Gnome/classic) and test. | 02:16 |
| us | unfortunatly I am using windows not ubuntu... but I could try | 02:16 |
| escott | us, and how frozen is it? does the capslock or numlock key cause the capslock or numlock light to light up? | 02:17 |
| Snowie | ahhh, so if i have need to see hidden files and turn this on, and then turn it off, it should stop showing up. OK, that makes sense. | 02:17 |
| us | nop... I cant use anything, and nothing else works | 02:17 |
| bkovacs | I went to a local Apple store and I noticed that OSX runs very fast compared to my system. Why does OSX seem to run allot faster than Ubuntu on my Intel i5 8GB system?. Is it the hard drive they are using, Are they using a Xeon processor, just curious. | 02:17 |
| escott | us, things that would help to know are (a) does the capslock light come on when you press the capslock, if it does its not really frozen (b) does ctrl-alt-f1 take you to a tty (c) can you successfully reboot with REISUB | 02:17 |
| escott | !sysrq | us | 02:17 |
| ubottu | us: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 02:17 |
| Nautilus | escott: yea, i dont understand why it isnt there in 12.04. I have 5 other ip6 lines but in 10.04 there is this sixth | 02:18 |
| escott | Nautilus, they probably just took out that broadcast host then. i thought you were saying none of your ipv6 addresses were there | 02:18 |
| Snowie | bkovacs, it's an os desinged specifically for a piece of VERY efficient hardware to run that single OS. that's why | 02:18 |
| escott | bkovacs, OSX is faster on different hardware? | 02:19 |
| Nautilus | escott: do you think I should leave it out? | 02:19 |
| bkovacs | Can Ubuntu or any Linux distro be made to run that efficent. | 02:19 |
| us | ok.. I dont know as much as you know but I will try and see what happend... Thanks... copying and pasting now to try... | 02:19 |
| escott | Nautilus, unless you need that particular broadcast host i would imagine they removed it for a reason | 02:19 |
| blackshirt1 | bkovacs: I think yes .. | 02:20 |
| Nautilus | ok, thanks! | 02:20 |
| escott | bkovacs, almost all supercomputers run linux of some sort so... yes | 02:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Snowie, If you want to see hidden files in the future just ctrl-h | 02:20 |
| === blackshirt1 is now known as blackshirt | ||
| Snowie | bkovacs, if a team sat down and tuned the os and the hardware for about (um... how many evolutions of mac have there been?) 30-40yrs, then probably | 02:20 |
| us | by the way... any light turns when I press caps lock | 02:21 |
| us | turns on | 02:21 |
| us | sorry | 02:21 |
| Snowie | wilee-nilee, yeah, thanks mate. makes complete sense now. one of those things you dont even think of til someone points out the obvious | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 02:21 |
| bkovacs | True but how can you make the Ubuntu desktop run that efficent. | 02:22 |
| escott | us, the capslock, numlock buttons are tied at a relatively low level to those keyboard lights, so even if the screen is non-responsive those lights might be responsive telling you the system is still running, just the way you interact with it has crashed | 02:22 |
| Spamicles | I used compiz config to enable opacity. desktop freaked out a little bit so I restored to default settings. now unity disappeared. i managed to get unity back but now everything is behaving really weird. how do i actually restore to default settings? | 02:22 |
| mmnicolas | ...never seen any mac being "faster" than my linux desktops | 02:22 |
| escott | us, hopefully you know what lights im referring to | 02:23 |
| SilverSlimer | mac is slow | 02:23 |
| us | yes | 02:23 |
| SilverSlimer | it doesn't matter how fast your processor is | 02:23 |
| SilverSlimer | the os always feels bloated | 02:23 |
| escott | us, on a laptop the little ones probably at the front of the case, on a keyboard usually on the upper right hand of the keyboard | 02:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Spamicles, you can reset the whole desktop stock with alt-f2 the unityi --reset | 02:23 |

| wilee-nilee | unity -reset sorry Spamicles | 02:23 |
| xangua | wilee-nilee: that only reset the unity icons | 02:23 |
| wilee-nilee | unity --reset Doh. | 02:23 |
| escott | bkovacs, you really have to define efficient, and what it is about the OSX experience that makes you say it was faster | 02:24 |
| DeltaHeavy | Hey, my Chrome tabs aren't behaving properly in Unity. They won't stick to any other Chrome window and it's really troublesome. How do I fix this? | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | xangua, Ah I thought it reset compiz as well then it is on to compiz --replace | 02:24 |
| escott | bkovacs, many times people say "faster" when they really mean "lower latency" | 02:24 |
| Snowie | bkovacs, i think what we're all getting at is you would need a group of people who all know exactly what they need to do to tune ubuntu for one, and only one, bench top piece of hardware. which is why it works on supercomputers so well. As for you doing it, try a masters degree in systems engineering ;) sorry, just the truth | 02:24 |
| us | thanks!!! escott.. I am going to try now.. | 02:24 |
| escott | bkovacs, was this even the same hardware... you said this was a machine in the apple store... so if its not the same hardware... | 02:25 |
| bkovacs | Just seemed like when the tech was showing me some applications the application loaded very fast, almost instant. | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Spamicles, alt f2 compiz --replace should reset it | 02:25 |
| escott | bkovacs, probably because the programs had already been loaded and were sitting in ram ready to go | 02:25 |
| EpicCyndaquil | My config file for weechat disappeared when I lost power on my server, but my log files are intact. What happened? | 02:25 |
| Snowie | escott, yup | 02:26 |
| Spamicles | wilee-nilee, xangua, the unity --reset seems to have brought back the correct window behavior. do i need to do anything else to make sure everything doesnt disappear again? | 02:26 |
| mmnicolas | bkovacs: he probably makes the same demo to every customer every 2 minutes, try opening libreoffice 12 times in a row, I bet the last 11 times will be instant | 02:26 |
| bkovacs | Is there graphics better than compiz. | 02:26 |
| escott | bkovacs, go back there and ask him to powerdown the system and turn it back on. then you will see how long it really takes to load an application. in addition that thing probably has an SSD which helps a LOT | 02:26 |
| denebeim | I've got a really weird issue with apt-get anyone up to discuss this? | 02:27 |
| bkovacs | Could be he was running an ssd | 02:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Spamicles, compiz is a bit tempermental have a restrt like desktop icon running the fusion icon will restrt it when tweaking | 02:27 |
| Domincii | mmnicolas | 02:27 |
| kriskropd | !ask | 02:27 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | bkovacs: Linux is far more lightweight and faster than Windows or OS X as fact. I can't speak much for Unity personally but look at DE's like XFCE, KDE, GNOME | 02:28 |
| Snowie | yeah, read a really convincing article recently that had SSD as the BEST thing you can do for your pc, even if it is small and unreliable. just need to get the os and most used apps onto it, and the benchtests were ridiculous | 02:28 |
| bkovacs | OSX is not a light weight, but they get it to run as though it was. | 02:29 |
| Skapare | DeltaHeavy: I like Xfce/Xubuntu myself | 02:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | bkovacs: Yeah, I have a 40GB SSD and it's faster than anything. Did the computer have an SSD in it? Unless the hardware was the same it's incomparable. | 02:29 |
| Skapare | DeltaHeavy: is it as fast as RAM? | 02:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | Skapare: I don't think so no. | 02:30 |
| denebeim | apt-get is failing to find packages and is complaining about not finding i386 versions of the packages although it's an amd64 system. I've upgraded this system from 10.04lts. The ones I've installed originally with 12.04 are not having the problem. | 02:30 |
| DeltaHeavy | On Windows 7 64-bit I can load every game I've played so far in mere seconds. Less than a 10th of the time EASILY. | 02:30 |
| Snowie | Skapare, nah, but it's more comparable to ram speed than spinning hdd speed is what i have been lead to believe | 02:30 |
| Skapare | DeltaHeavy: I've been wanting to load everything into RAM and run it from there ... when I get my new 64 GB box | 02:30 |
| DeltaHeavy | I don't have time to quickly read what Skyrim loading screens are telling me. | 02:30 |
| racsminilaptop | Hey I could loggin! I am Us | 02:30 |
| DeltaHeavy | Skapare: That would be bad ass | 02:31 |
| bkovacs | I'll have to ask him, the next time I go in. But Apple techs never like to talk tech stuff, because Apple is all secretive. I asked him to open the terminal. and he though I was trying to hack OSX. No joke. | 02:31 |
| Skapare | DeltaHeavy: yeah ... as soon as the bank account can handle it ... close | 02:31 |
| racsminilaptop | I am using now gnome classic | 02:31 |
| Snowie | Skapare, 64G!!!! what are you doing with that thing? | 02:31 |
| denebeim | my google fu is weak, I've been poking around trying to find an answer to this for a couple of hours. | 02:31 |
| xangua | !ot | DeltaHeavy Skapare bkovacs | 02:31 |
| ubottu | DeltaHeavy Skapare bkovacs: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:31 |
| zerowaitstate | yeah, my sister gets all jumpy when I open the term on her laptop too | 02:31 |
| Skapare | Snowie: dreaming of it for now ... soon | 02:31 |
| racsminilaptop | How do I fix the ubuntu session??? | 02:31 |
| bkovacs | Ok! | 02:32 |
| iFlip | bkovacs: I'm a mac user and some people are just paranoid | 02:32 |
| Snowie | racsminilaptop, WIN!!! so yeah, you should be able to fix it by setting unity back to defaults. have you been experimenting with themes etc? | 02:32 |
| escott | denebeim, 12.04 has something called multiarch so i386 packages can be installed on an amd64 system | 02:32 |
| racsminilaptop | yes | 02:32 |
| DeltaHeavy | Is there a channel where I can ask Unity related questions? Still having problems with Chrome tabs | 02:33 |
| Snowie | bkovacs, "Genius" ;) | 02:33 |
| racsminilaptop | How do i set up unity as default?? | 02:33 |
| racsminilaptop | one more time | 02:33 |
| denebeim | Yeah, I found that. Tried installing it, didn't help. | 02:33 |
| escott | racsminilaptop, unity --reset? | 02:33 |
| Snowie | racsminilaptop, try http://askubuntu.com/questions/91928/how-to-restore-unity-3d | 02:33 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| wilee-nilee | racsminilaptop, Whatever desktop that is running on shutdown or a reboot is the default | 02:34 |
| escott | denebeim, its not something you install. its just supported. i was suggesting it as a might be related to the problem you didnt clearly specify | 02:34 |
| DeltaHeavy | Imma give up on Unity. It can't manage tabs =/ | 02:34 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, hang on a sec. let me test. | 02:34 |
| denebeim | Yeah I think that my issue is it's not finding the sources correctly and the i386 bit is a red herring. I commented out the foreign architecture i386 in the dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch file, and it stopped flagging i386 as missing, it just is flat out not finding anything at all. | 02:35 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, ah, i see. When you drag them over the dock, focus wont switch. and even if there side by side, you can seperate, but not reattach. hmmmm..... anyone? | 02:36 |
| escott | !details | denebeim | 02:36 |
| ubottu | denebeim: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:36 |
| denebeim | I copied the /etc/apt directory from the working system to the non-working system and there is no change, so I don't think it's a missing repository from sources.list | 02:36 |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: Exactly what's happening here. | 02:36 |
| racsminilaptop | reading..... | 02:36 |
| denebeim | Here's the error, probably the rest should be obvious: smartmontools:i386 : Depends: libcap-ng0:i386 but it is not going to be installed | 02:37 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, it's broken. I've never had need to do it, so Ive never noticed it before. I guess i just dont browse that way | 02:37 |
| denebeim | I think this is a symptom of it not finding smartmontools at all (several other packages as well) | 02:38 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: I'm a web dev and often have many tabs open anyway. I make use of this feature a lot. | 02:38 |
| daslinkard | Hello room! | 02:38 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, someone smarter than me may be able to tell you if it's unity or chrome that you should report to, or if there is a fix, but i think its just usability | 02:38 |
| DeltaHeavy | I guess Unity is just unusable for my needs. | 02:38 |
| denebeim | the same command works fine on the working system. | 02:38 |
| * daslinkard has a friend who cannot get his wired ethernet connection to work. | 02:38 | |
| * daslinkard wonders if anyone can help me | 02:38 | |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: It's the same package they shove out for ever Ubuntu DE. Pretty sure it's Unity. | 02:39 |
| escott | denebeim, you copied /etc/apt from a working system... what was the "working" system running? | 02:39 |
| megamanx1978 | I downloaded my humble bundle 6 games from the software center and they will not start | 02:39 |
| denebeim | exactly the same thing. | 02:39 |
| denebeim | 12.04 | 02:39 |
| kriskropd | denebeim: was it also 64 bit architecture? | 02:39 |
| denebeim | the only difference is the working system was installed and the non-working system was upgraded from 10.04 lts | 02:39 |
| EnderTheThird | Anyone else have issues with the mouse pointer being too large in Ubuntu? It's a different size/aspect compared to what it's supposed to be. | 02:40 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, you could make your case to the unity devs | 02:40 |
| RobbyF | EnderTheThird, nope | 02:40 |
| * daslinkard jumping up and down for someone to help. | 02:40 | |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: Is there a place I can report to them? | 02:40 |
| denebeim | Oh, and the working system has btrfs | 02:40 |
| EnderTheThird | Picture to demonstrate in a moment. | 02:40 |
| kriskropd | daslinkard: !ask | 02:40 |
| kriskropd | !ask | 02:40 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:40 |

| daslinkard | escott: wired connection hooked in....but unable to get Internet | 02:41 |
| escott | denebeim, not the filesystem. what version of ubuntu did you install, the 64bit or the 32bit | 02:41 |
| denebeim | Oh. Sorry all of the systems are running 64 | 02:41 |
| escott | daslinkard, paste.ubuntu.com the output of ifconfig | 02:41 |
| daslinkard | k | 02:41 |
| kriskropd | daslinkard: 'ifconfig' does it read anything? | 02:41 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, have you tried unity 3d then? that bug seems very specific | 02:41 |
| megamanx1978 | I cannot play my humble bundle games can someone please help | 02:42 |
| escott | denebeim, and the 10.04 upgrade was a 64bit system | 02:42 |
| DeltaHeavy | Looks like it's not getting fixed. Unity is too bloated for my tastes anyway. Was a good try. Guess I'm going to XFCE | 02:42 |
| denebeim | Correct. | 02:42 |
| escott | denebeim, its just very strange you would ever have a i386 smartmontools on a 64bit system | 02:42 |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: I'm not sure what that is. I'm on a VM so idk if I can use 3D stuff. | 02:42 |
| daslinkard | As far as IP address? | 02:42 |
| escott | denebeim, you could just apt-get remote smartmontools:i386; apt-get install smartmontools | 02:42 |
| escott | denebeim, but copying /etc/apt from one system to another is something you should never do | 02:43 |
| denebeim | ah I'm unfamiliar with 'remote' let me man it just a sec. | 02:43 |
| Nautilus | i also have a copying question, for a directory in my /home/myname dir. I copied the files to a separate drive with 'cp -a' and that seems to have worked (perms are drwxr-xr-x), but when I copied the dir to my new 12.04 install (using -a again) I just got perms of drwx------. Can I copy them back without that happening? | 02:43 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, think it depends on you VM. when you login to ubuntu, you should see options for desktop. if 3d's not there, then you need to talk to the admins. | 02:43 |
| denebeim | Oh I know. I renamed the original to apt.old so I could go back | 02:43 |
| escott | Nautilus, what filesystem was the "separate drive" | 02:44 |
| DeltaHeavy | No time to go on a wild goose chase right now. I'll check it out later | 02:44 |
| Nautilus | both are ext3 | 02:44 |
| kriskropd | DeltaHeavy: XFCE is rather nice, you can install it with 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' | 02:45 |
| denebeim | sudo apt-get remote smartmontools:i386 | 02:45 |
| denebeim | E: Invalid operation remote | 02:45 |
| no1special | good evening, I am looking for information to reveal the true versioning information from services utilizing backporting. Services like OpenSSH | 02:45 |
| DeltaHeavy | kriskropd: WOn't that install a whole bunch of other apps too that both Unity and XFCE will kinda share, mucking up all my menus? | 02:45 |
| Nautilus | escott: both are ext3 | 02:45 |
| escott | denebeim, remove not remote sorry | 02:45 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, np mate. i should point out im a fan of Unity, so i just want you to enjoy the same shortcuts i enjoy | 02:45 |
| denebeim | ah okay. already tried that, it's not there. | 02:45 |
| EnderTheThird | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/162975/mouse.png You can see that the pointer icon is the wrong size. Sometimes it goes to the regular pointer with the correct resolution and aspect when I mouse over certain applications. I think this has something to do with my Korean monitor at 2560x1440. I'm using a custom EDID because the nvidia driver can't read it from the monitor correctly. Problem exists in both 12.04 and 12.10. | 02:45 |
| escott | Nautilus, if you used cp -a in both copies it should have the same permissions | 02:46 |
| denebeim | tried it again, still not there ;-) | 02:46 |
| Nautilus | escott: huh, I wonder if I forgot it second ime. didnt think so. Will try again | 02:46 |
| b2coutts | Hey, I was messing around with screen configuration to try to get a game running in wine, and now, when I boot into Ubuntu 12.04, it sends me into a tty, and at tty7 it says "Stopping save kernel messages" as the last line. The 3rd last line is starting LightDM display manager. I've tried using xorg.conf.failsafe, reinstalling nvidia (GTX 680) drivers via apt-get nvidia-current, and reinstalling lightdm, but these haven't fixed it. Does | 02:46 |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: Thanks for the help! By any chance do you know how to speed up Unity? There seems to be a terrible delay on everything I do. In other DE's, like GNOME 2/3, KDE, XFCE it's responsive but this doesn't feel responsive at all. | 02:46 |
| escott | denebeim, maybe smartmontools:i386 was selected for install by something, and is pending but blocked | 02:47 |
| b2coutts | I also tried booting in recovery mode, and failsafe graphics mode gave me an error, saying something about there being no monitors | 02:47 |
| kriskropd | DeltaHeavy: yeah it will, everything you see under 'apt-cache show xubuntu-desktop' which you can weed out for just the packages you need, but I don't know what those are off the top of my head :) | 02:47 |
| SilverSlimer | having the program's icon bounce like on the mac would give unity users the impression that it's responsive. a small thing like that would help significantly. | 02:47 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, this is why i say im a fan and not a fanboi, because the answer, as far as i can tell, is development time | 02:47 |
| denebeim | Yeah I was wondering that. however I've been unable to get it to tell me what is pending. (if anything) what command would you try for that? | 02:48 |
| denebeim | BTW I'm really really good with redhat, not so good with ubuntu | 02:48 |
| RobbyF | EnderTheThird, are you using a montior or a TV? I had that issue with a receiver to a TV using HDMI. oudated hardware was my issue | 02:48 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, i get delays too :( | 02:48 |
| escott | denebeim, what does dpkg --get-selections smart* say | 02:48 |
| DeltaHeavy | Snowie: Yeah, I hope it improves. Right now I'm not sure if it's ready for my tastes, or if these problems I dislike will ever go away. | 02:48 |
| denebeim | ooo that looks promising just a sec. | 02:48 |
| denebeim | nothing | 02:49 |
| DeltaHeavy | kriskropd: Ok, I think I'll just do a Xubuntu install or lurk around for some other distro to try. Thanks! I think imma actually try out Yellow Hat Linux | 02:49 |
| EnderTheThird | RobbyF: Monitor. It's a Shimian QH270-Lite 27" 2560x1440 monitor. | 02:49 |
| Snowie | DeltaHeavy, yeah, which is why i try. more users == more developers | 02:49 |
| denebeim | I'm really thinking that my package cache is screwed up, but I don't know how to fix it. | 02:49 |
| RobbyF | HDMI? | 02:49 |
| b2coutts | I just checked the Xorg logs, it says "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration" | 02:49 |
| EnderTheThird | Robby-F: DVI | 02:49 |
| DeltaHeavy | Yellowdog* | 02:49 |
| EnderTheThird | RobbyF: DVI | 02:49 |
| kriskropd | DeltaHeavy: if you just want to "try" and you intend to overwrite your current install, I do insist just trying the 'xubuntu-desktop' - it will take a lot less time | 02:49 |
| b2coutts | Even though they should really have any configuration with xorg.conf.failsafe | 02:49 |
| RobbyF | hmm, not to sure, sorry. | 02:50 |
| b2coutts | shouldn't* | 02:50 |
| kamal_ | hi | 02:50 |
| Snowie | kamal_, howdy | 02:50 |
| DeltaHeavy | kriskropd: I've used XFCE many times before but thanks for your suggestions :p | 02:50 |
| DeltaHeavy | I wish more distros ran Mate. I miss GNOME 2 T_T | 02:51 |
| EnderTheThird | RobbyF: Thanks. I'm not even sure where to start with this thing, heh. | 02:51 |
| Nautilus | this command look ok to copy a whole dir, so that the dir ends up in my current location? sudo cp -ar /mnt/myb1/home/brian/sites . | 02:51 |
| EnderTheThird | RobbyF: I just know I'm tired of booting into Win7 now that I'm not playing Diablo anymore. | 02:51 |
| escott | Nautilus, sudo is probably the problem here. | 02:51 |
| denebeim | is there a way to force apt-get to reload all of the lists like you can with yum? | 02:51 |
| Domincii_ | how do i start a private chat? | 02:51 |
| Nautilus | escott: ok, i'll try without, but also the '.' is good? put the sites folder in current location? | 02:52 |
| kriskropd | Nautilus: you could add a '-v' option to cp to make it more verbose | 02:52 |
| escott | denebeim, you can try apt-get -f install to fix broken packages | 02:52 |
| kriskropd | Nautilus: would let you know when and where something goes wrong | 02:52 |
| Nautilus | gotcha | 02:52 |
| denebeim | Yeah already did that too sadly, will try again | 02:52 |
| Nautilus | kriskropd: except I cant read this fast | 02:53 |
| escott | Nautilus, you have to be careful combining things like sudo and relative paths, but yes . would be the current directory. the bigger issue is you just don't need root for this | 02:53 |
| denebeim | ah hah, this is interesting. I've always done install -f not -f install. this time I'm getting upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded. | 02:53 |
| Nautilus | escott: it's a runnin' | 02:53 |
| denebeim | but I've just done an apt-get update, so I may just be confused.... | 02:53 |
| kriskropd | Nautilus: you can make it log the output by sending it into a file 'cp -arv /mydir > /home/me/cp.log' | 02:54 |
| escott | denebeim, and the 7 not upgraded are the problem packages | 02:54 |
| kriskropd | Nautilus: though in reality, the problem will likely occur when it stops xD | 02:54 |
| denebeim | Doubt it, it is unity stuff, didn't that just get updated? | 02:54 |
| denebeim | updating now | 02:55 |
| cjs | What do I do when usb-creator-gtk refuses to enable the "Make Startup Disk" button even after erasing the USB drive using the "Erase Disk" option? | 02:56 |
| BlackWeb | Is Anyone familiar with commandline FTP, Just wondering how I'd go about downloading Mutiple files at once | 02:56 |
| Snowie | cjs, check the format option you have on the usb drive | 02:56 |
| cjs | How do I do that? | 02:56 |
| escott | BlackWeb, mget, and stop using ftp | 02:57 |
| denebeim | Nope same problem. | 02:57 |
| cjs | I did remove all the partitions using gparted, and have the same issue. | 02:57 |
| BlackWeb | Using SFTP | 02:57 |
| Snowie | cjs, ahhh, sec | 02:57 |
| BlackWeb | Mainly so that all transfers will be secure | 02:57 |
| Snowie | cjs, your creating a liveusb for ubuntu right? | 02:57 |
| escott | denebeim, what command are you running that gives you the error? | 02:57 |
| cjs | Snowie: Yup! | 02:57 |
| escott | BlackWeb, good | 02:57 |
| cjs | And I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04 box that's pretty near up to date. (It's missing maybe a week of patches.) | 02:58 |
| escott | BlackWeb, if you have remote shell scp might be easier | 02:58 |
| denebeim | sudo apt-get install smartmontools | 02:58 |
| escott | denebeim, and dpkg --get-selection smart* does not mention smartmontools? | 02:58 |
| Snowie | cjs, is there anything helpful here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:58 |
| BlackWeb | when downloading multiple files then what do i to the syntax like this (Remote_File Local_File Remote-File Local File) | 02:58 |
| kriskropd | cjs: with gparted, if you were to try and make a partition ont he usb, does it say it needs a table first? I'm unfamiliar with the usb-creator-gtk, but I'll bet it needs a tablet to write the FAT32 partition to. | 02:59 |
| denebeim | comes back totally empty | 02:59 |
| kriskropd | on the* | 02:59 |
| kriskropd | table* | 02:59 |
| denebeim | I really think my package list cache is busted. | 02:59 |
| denebeim | but I don't know how to force it to reload it | 02:59 |
| escott | BlackWeb, you don't specify the local file in any way at all. its just downloaded to the current directory | 02:59 |
| escott | BlackWeb, unless you were asking about scp in which case its just like cp with an "s" at the beginning | 03:00 |
| oneman | hai | 03:00 |
| BlackWeb | Alright I'll give it ago Thanks | 03:00 |
| denebeim | I'm also having lockup issues with this machine (hence the smartmon) so I could have some sort of disk corruption. | 03:00 |
| oneman | I'm looking for someone to create a PPA for my project, will pay $ | 03:00 |
| oneman | or BTC for that matter | 03:00 |
| escott | BlackWeb, so ftp its "cd whatever_remote; lcd whatever_local; mget folder" with scp its scp remote:~/path ~/path | 03:00 |
| cjs | kriskropd: Oh, a partition table is there. Though come to think of it, I didn't check to see if it was old/"DOS" or modern eboot or whatever it is. The USB stick (a Sandisk 32 GB) actually came with a partition already on it that was the first thing I'd tried. | 03:00 |
| Nautilus | escott: yep, looks like my initial attempt was as root, this cp seems to have the right perms! I get so use to having to sudo stuff | 03:01 |
| === luist_ is now known as luist | ||
| kriskropd | cjs: Additionally to not being familiar with the usb-creator-gtk, it could be a simple user error, like missing a step to enable the button | 03:01 |
| escott | Nautilus, run commands without sudo first, then if you get a permission error think about using sudo | 03:01 |
| Nautilus | escott: yea i figured that out :) | 03:02 |
| oneman | if anyone is or knows someone who wants to do this let me know | 03:02 |
| cjs | kriskropd: There's not a lot of steps. Just "erase" (which is optional in some cases) and "make startup disk". :-) | 03:02 |
| delinquentme | Ok so im showing a WEBrick in my processes ... however $ killall WEBrick .. says "WEBrick: no process found" | 03:03 |
| cjs | Snowie: Didn't see anything on that page, which seemed mostly to deal with problems getting persistent storage, which I don't need anyway. | 03:03 |
| escott | kriskropd, did you get a gksudo prompt at some point in this? | 03:03 |
| delinquentme | am i missing something to kill this process? | 03:03 |
| === Kane is now known as Guest91846 | ||
| kriskropd | escott: wrong guy :) | 03:03 |
| cjs | I think that this is just a massively buggy usb-creator-gtk in 12.04. I'll go do this on an 11.10 machine. | 03:03 |
| Snowie | oneman, there a alot of sites on the web where you can get devs to bid on your job. maybe try one of those. anyone here recommend a site for oneman | 03:03 |
| escott | kriskropd, sorry... | 03:03 |
| Dae | I haven't had any issues with the USB creator on 12.04.1 so far. | 03:04 |
| escott | cjs, did you get a gksudo prompt at some point. presumably you must have to erase the disk | 03:04 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: try this 'ps -aux | grep WEBrick' it should give oyu the process ID, then type 'sudo kill -9 id_number_here' | 03:04 |
| Snowie | cjs, agreed. i think the fact that it should be fat32 limited to 4g, and you have a 32G drive might be part of the problem though. that's what i got from theere | 03:04 |
| cjs | escott: I was doing this all from the command line after I'd sudo'd -s. | 03:04 |
| cjs | Snowie: Ah, I missed that bit! | 03:04 |
| escott | cjs, there may actually be an issue with it being too large. you can't make the persistence file larger than 2GB iirc | 03:04 |
| delinquentme | thrive 10016 0.0 0.0 7628 940 pts/1 S+ 23:04 0:00 grep --color=auto WEBrick kriskropd which is the process? the 10016? | 03:05 |
| escott | delinquentme, when you ps aux | grep WEBrick you create a process "grep .... WEBrick" that shows up in ps aux | 03:05 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: nope, thats the process id that you just ran trying to identify WEBrick | 03:05 |
| Nautilus | this might be more an apache Q... I see that the vhosts I've created over a couple years are a mix between my user as the owner and root as the owner. Is one more correct than the other? | 03:05 |
| delinquentme | escott, OHHHHH | 03:06 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: are you certain the process name is WEBrick or atleast contains that word in it? its also case sensitive | 03:06 |
| delinquentme | kriskropd, so ive got a web server of the type WEBrick .. which is currently hogging port 3000 | 03:06 |
| Dae | Make a 4G partition, go from there. | 03:06 |
| denebeim | Ah, I found this from a really old post: dpkg --clear-avail but no joy | 03:06 |
| delinquentme | but I guess WEBrick isnt the right name bc im only getting one process .. the search / grep process | 03:07 |
| escott | delinquentme, capitalized binaries are unusual try grep -i webrick | 03:07 |
| cjs | escott: I'm not trying to create any sort of persistence file! | 03:07 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WEBrick this was my quick lil lesson for me; I think webrick is actually running under a process for ruby, but I'm only guessing here | 03:07 |
| Nautilus | oh duh, the default vhost is root, so I suppose thats the way to go | 03:08 |
| Snowie | delinquentme, i a noob at this WARNING, but maybe try ' *WEB* or *rick* and see if there are similar matches | 03:08 |
| escott | cjs, nonetheless you have an image file for the ext4 loopback, and that needs to be <4GB | 03:08 |
| cjs | Snowie: Nope, it still doesn't work with a 3.9 GB partition. Oh, and I just remembered, the last time this happened, I did just boot up an 11.10 system where it worked fine. | 03:08 |
| BlackWeb | escott Thank you mget worked like a charm :) problem solved | 03:08 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: try greeping for 'webrick' all lowercase | 03:08 |
| delinquentme | escott, thanks .. no beans though | 03:08 |
| delinquentme | ill just run on another port ! thanks guys :D | 03:09 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: it's quite uncommon to see uppercase on process names | 03:09 |
| escott | delinquentme, lsof or netstat are able to give you the PID holding the socket open | 03:09 |
| delinquentme | kriskropd, noted .. as well as the nifty grep -i caseinsensitive | 03:09 |
| kriskropd | delinquentme: always learning, thansk for the feedback :D | 03:09 |
| kriskropd | thanks* <_< | 03:09 |
| cjs | escott: If you're talking about one created by usb-creator-gtk, I think not, because I'm giving it the command line option not to create any persistence partition. If you're talking about something set up by the installer on the ISO after it boots, usb-creator-gtk wouldn't know about it. | 03:09 |
| Snowie | cjs, is it just me, or did formatting that drive, creating partitions, then reinstalling ubuntu take an unusally short amount of time? | 03:10 |
| delinquentme | escott, how would I just the netstat ? | 03:10 |
| delinquentme | kriskropd, you and me both :D! | 03:10 |
| Dae | Snowie, how long does it normally take you? | 03:10 |
| cjs | Snowie: Hm? You mean for me to do it? I got nowhere near that. I just want to take an Ubuntu installer ISO and get this USB stick to boot it. | 03:10 |
| escott | cjs, if you aren't creating the persistence file then its probably not related to the 4gb limit of fat files. but all the livecds made though usb-creator have that casper image file | 03:11 |
| Snowie | Dae, I will admit, i have not done it, but if I were stuck, and had to do all of that, i would say at least 20 mins, but then im a noob. cjs is just clearly faster than i am | 03:11 |
| escott | cjs, netstat -lpt for tcp -lpu for udp | 03:11 |
| Dae | cjs: You said you're trying with a 32GB drive? I ask to try it myself. | 03:11 |

| escott | cjs, sorry | 03:12 |
| escott | delinquentme, netstat -lpt for tcp, -lpu for udp | 03:12 |
| kriskropd | escott: thats awesome | 03:12 |
| escott | can't keep track of who i am talking to == time for bed | 03:13 |
| denebeim | YES! | 03:13 |
| maicod | do there maybe exist 2 versions of lxshortcut , one for console and one for GUI ? | 03:14 |
| denebeim | If anyone is interested: If your list of packages becomes corrupted 'rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists' | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | denebeim, hehe we knew that, just wanted to see if you could figure it out. ;) | 03:15 |
| Hydrogrow | hello all | 03:15 |
| Dae | I would be more concerned with why the package list got corrupted. | 03:15 |
| Dae | Hello, Hydrogrow. | 03:15 |
| Hydrogrow | I'm just trying out IRC chatting ,cant find a room with my subject | 03:16 |
| Hydrogrow | discgolf | 03:16 |
| maicod | not for every subject is a room | 03:16 |
| Hydrogrow | yea I see that now but there are lots of them | 03:17 |
| maicod | try /list | 03:17 |
| Hydrogrow | ok | 03:17 |
| Dae | irc.xs4all.nl #bsc-discgolf maybe | 03:17 |
| Hydrogrow | I see | 03:17 |
| cjs | Snowie, escott: Ha, usb-creator-gtk is broken under 11.10, too. Must be the huge size of this thing that's the problem. | 03:18 |
| Snowie | cjs, sorry mate. just read through that link i posted, and read back through this thread. I pointed this whole conversation the wrong way. my fault. Ive learnt some stuff at least. post your issue again and i will read instad of speak | 03:18 |
| Hydrogrow | well thank you for the reply Dae | 03:18 |
| escott | cjs, you might try a direct install if the bioses you are using support it, or unetbootin | 03:19 |
| Dae | cjs, if you're interested, I'm trying with a 64G FDD atm. | 03:19 |
| Hydrogrow | no one home there though | 03:19 |
| maicod | how do I get LXshortcut to display its gui under X ? I only get a commandline of it | 03:19 |
| cjs | Snowie: I just want to boot an installer (the mini.iso, to be particular), from a 32 GB USB flash drive. | 03:19 |
| Snowie | cjs, lol. yeah, soz bud. well, you didnt do your google dilignence ;) | 03:19 |
| Dae | Sorry, Hydrogrow. I tried. :-) | 03:20 |
| cjs | Actually, I'm happy with any way of dealing with this at all, if it can be fairly simple, and leave 8 GB of room on the flash drive for the target install. | 03:20 |
| cjs | Snowie: Hmmm? | 03:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Hydrogrow, Happry northern lights. ;) | 03:20 |
| wilee-nilee | happy* | 03:20 |
| Hydrogrow | thanks for helping a noob out | 03:20 |
| Hydrogrow | lol thats a myth | 03:20 |
| maicod | yw | 03:20 |
| Hydrogrow | but true! | 03:20 |
| Snowie | cjs, kiddin mate, just pissed i feel like i wasted your time | 03:20 |
| kriskropd | cjs: why not just make a 4GB fat32 partition with gparted? | 03:21 |
| Hydrogrow | actually everyone out there like the northern lights now that I think of it! | 03:21 |
| kriskropd | cjs: also I apologize if that was already suggested | 03:21 |
| cjs | Snowie: Oh, it wasn't that bad. At least, talking with you, I wasted less than I would have screwing around with it on my lonesome. :-) | 03:21 |
| cjs | kriskropd: I tried that already, actually. No luck. | 03:21 |
| maicod | cjs: screwing around lonesome is no fun :) | 03:22 |
| Costeelation | someone know any command for close sessions in the terminal? | 03:22 |
| Dae | Ok, 64G bootdisk is done. Time to test. | 03:22 |
| kriskropd | cjs: did you try runng the usb creator with sudo? | 03:23 |
| Costeelation | or restart the lightdm | 03:23 |
| cjs | kriskropd: Yup. Always have been. | 03:23 |
| Snowie | cjs, is your image on your HDD or do you have a live cd? | 03:23 |
| kriskropd | cjs: ick, im confused too then xD | 03:23 |
| cjs | Snowie: It's on an hdd. Just a "mini.iso" that I downloaded (though I have a few others, too). | 03:23 |
| cjs | I am totally hating on usb-creator-gtk right now. I've seen issues like this before, but this is now seriously broken. | 03:24 |
| cjs | I bet it's a "drive larger than 4 GB" thing. | 03:24 |
| Snowie | I work in tech support, and sometimes it's better to go round than through. burn it and try here maybe ???? disagreements? better advice?? http://askubuntu.com/questions/163982/run-12-04-from-usb-with-no-hard-disk-usage | 03:24 |
| escott | Costeelation, you can kill gnome-session, or service lightdm restart | 03:24 |
| Costeelation | escott: ok man thanks so much | 03:25 |
| kriskropd | cjs: it shouldn't complain if its just asking for a partition though | 03:25 |
| kriskropd | cjs: and fat32 is not limited to a 4GB partition size, only a 4GB file size | 03:25 |
| Dae | Well, mine works fine. | 03:26 |
| cjs | Snowie: That page is almost exactly what I'm trying to do, but once I can get an installer booted, I'm set. (And I need to do a manual partition setup anyway due to using encryption: I need an unencrypted boot partition, then an encrypted partition with an lvm in it that in turn contains the root and swap.) | 03:26 |
| cjs | The problem is, how do I boot the installer?! | 03:26 |
| Snowie | cjs, BURN the image | 03:26 |
| Costeelation | escott: im use cinnamon | 03:26 |
| Costeelation | escott: is similar¡ | 03:27 |
| Snowie | cjs, and PS myhedasplode. what the hell are you trying to do??? | 03:27 |
| kriskropd | deep breaths, clear some neurons :) | 03:27 |
| Dae | 64G flash drive, Ubuntu 12.04.1 boots perfectly. | 03:28 |
| cjs | Snowie: I have an ISO image. I want to boot that ISO image on my laptop. | 03:28 |
| Snowie | and your laptop has no ability to burn a CD? | 03:28 |
| cjs | Snowie: Not even read, much less burn. Who has a CD drive these days? What, next I should have a 5.25" floppy drive, too? :-) | 03:29 |
| Dae | Netbook? | 03:29 |
| Snowie | Dae, so this can be done, but i think, if you read back, there is more to this puzzle, and i see only pictographs | 03:29 |
| wilee-nilee | cjs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 boot the ISO with grub | 03:29 |
| kriskropd | cjs just to be sure, the laptop can boot from usb, right? its in the bios? i dont think any of this is relevant, but worth asking since we're ont he subject | 03:29 |
| cjs | Technically, not a netbook, but yeah, a laptop with no internal drive. And I don't have any external drives kicking around here either. | 03:30 |
| Dae | My guess is that I missed a vital piece of info, like which ISO is being used, or which startup disk creator/method. | 03:30 |
| cjs | kriskropd: Yup! Boots fine from my old Ubuntu USB install. | 03:30 |
| Snowie | cjs, just a question. saw a way around your issue, and thought it might be a solution. clearly, that solution is not available | 03:30 |
| kriskropd | cjs yeah, your laptop is golden then - you are just having trouble with usb-creator-gtk as it is not cooperating | 03:31 |
| cjs | kriskropd: Yup. That seems to sum it up. | 03:31 |
| Snowie | kriskropd, agreed | 03:31 |
| cjs | Maybe if I cut my USB stick into eight tiny pieces, and use only one of them.... | 03:31 |
| renato | oi | 03:31 |
| Dae | cjs, did you already mention which ISO you're trying to boot? | 03:31 |
| OerHeks | use an other machine to create an usb installer | 03:31 |
| cjs | Dae: The mini. I can't use the standard 12.04 alternate install 'cause that requires PAE. (And don't even get me started on *that*.) | 03:32 |
| Dae | I understand. | 03:32 |
| escott | cjs, pita on windows which wont (easily) mount partitioned usb | 03:33 |
| cjs | OerHeks: I was already doing that. The problem is, my other machine is an Ubuntu system as well. :-/ | 03:33 |

| Dae | cjs, just so we're clear on the details, 32- or 64-bit? | 03:34 |
| kriskropd | cjs: ive always used unetbootin on a windows box to make my usb installers, so thats why im unfamiliar with usb-creator-gtk OR any alternatives for it | 03:34 |
| === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 | ||

| Snowie | PolarBear, try a 'slash' (/) in front of those :) | 03:35 |

| xcervo | hello guys what software do i use i order to boot multiple iso's with usb? | 03:36 |

| Nautilus | ^ also involves php and MySQL | 03:37 |
| escott | cjs, yes... but windows doesn't provide any way to mount those two other partitions. you can access them from the low level \\ device paths, but you cant get drive letters on them | 03:37 |

| andrewaclt | Nautilus, sounds like something is wrong, what is the php code? | 03:38 |

| Dae | You tend to get what you offer, rampr. | 03:41 |
| Snowie | phunyguy, you can use a player, but i think ffmpeg is what your after. transcoding is the term from one form to another. i use a couple of apps on my box, let me check | 03:41 |
| kriskropd | Nautilus: drupal is pretty heavy, it could just be processing time on a machine not optimized for web serving on a large scale? | 03:41 |
| ramprasadgk | biunch of heavy heads | 03:41 |

| phunyguy | I dont want to encode my entire colleciton with ffmpeg. FLAC is lossless | 03:42 |
| kriskropd | lol | 03:42 |
| Snowie | phunyguy, understood | 03:42 |
| phunyguy | Snowie and my device is only 16 gig. | 03:43 |
| Nautilus | cjs: so pm ok? | 03:43 |
| phunyguy | Snowie there are no options to specify quality, so I was wondering if there was a way to modify the presets it uses or whatever | 03:44 |
| Dae | Atom CPUs can't be expected to be as quick as the higher-grade processors. | 03:44 |
| Nautilus | for sure ;) | 03:44 |
| Snowie | phunyguy, still think the fastest way is to convert the lot using ffmpeg into rythmbox, and then import the new tracks. ive been wrong once before tonight though, so im out. | 03:44 |
| phunyguy | Snowie I am already doing that.... | 03:45 |

| Nordom | escott: I am a nub so sorry if I seem daft | 03:59 |
| escott | Nordom, the command would be "which adb" i see im late in giving that answer | 03:59 |
| bazhang | akis, check the linuxprinting.org database | 03:59 |
| Nordom | which is what I wanted ty! | 03:59 |
| Nordom | escott: : When I logged into SU, and went to the folder where adb was located it didnt do anything, and suggestions on why this happened? | 04:00 |
| kriskropd | "Day changed to 26 Sep 2012 " I really need to get some sleep, good luck all | 04:00 |
| escott | Nordom, its failing because when you login as root "sudo -i" you change the working directory to /root but you installed adb to /home/username/whatever so you need to cd /home/username/whatever | 04:00 |
| Nordom | escott: so I need to type sudo -i su ? | 04:01 |
| escott | Nordom, you shouldnt be using "su" on ubuntu at all | 04:01 |
| Nordom | I see | 04:01 |
| escott | Nordom, either sudo adb whatever or sudo -i; adb whatever | 04:02 |
| Nordom | then this guide is probably not what I want to use then, thank you | 04:02 |
| escott | Nordom, im sure the guide is fine except that we use sudo not su | 04:02 |
| Nordom | got it! | 04:02 |
| escott | Nordom, if you see "su" in isolation replace it with "sudo -i" if you see "su -c command" replace it with "sudo command" | 04:03 |

| ramprasadgk | i got my wifi working | 04:13 |
| ramprasadgk | thanks for asking | 04:13 |
| ramprasadgk | mine was b43 driver | 04:14 |
| ramprasadgk | so installed all the firmwares needed | 04:14 |

| MACscr | when doing an distro upgrade over ssh and it opens up a secondary ssh port just in case, it should still continue the upgrade on the main ssh connection.

| cn28h | If I tell the Ubuntu 12.10 beta installation to "Replace windows 7" will it leave my recovery partition intact? I'd like to choose that option, but I'd like to hae the option of restoring the computer to factory defaults later if I want | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | cn28h: use the manual option to preserve your recovery partition. | 04:30 |

| Sokel | wut | 04:33 |
| cn28h | cfhowlett: hm okay, sounds fair enough | 04:33 |
| MACscr | devslash: both do | 04:33 |
| devslash | and both have a web guy | 04:34 |
| devslash | gui | 04:34 |
| MACscr | yes, hence why i suggested them | 04:34 |
| escott | robotdevil, did you run sensors-detect? | 04:34 |
| devslash | just making sure | 04:34 |
| robotdevil | escott: yes sir | 04:34 |
| devslash | I've tried using rtorrent but it sucks | 04:34 |
| escott | robotdevil, did it find a module for you to probe for the nvidia card? | 04:35 |
| MACscr | devslash: they pretty much all do | 04:35 |
| devslash | oh really ? even the 2 you mentioned ? | 04:35 |
| MACscr | yes, they just suck the least out of the options. ive done a lot of research on the matter | 04:36 |
| devslash | Im not sure why but rtorrent is giving me connection errors | 04:36 |
| devslash | what issues have you run into ? | 04:36 |
| MACscr | i rarely do anything with torrents anymore though. usenet ftw | 04:36 |

| robotdevil | escott: just read that only nvidia clock or nvidia-settings can read card. but still wondering about the cores of cpu | 04:39 |

| chamunks | brasero never works | 04:41 |

| MACscr | lol, you use rw's? for what? | 04:41 |
| chamunks | os's | 04:41 |
| robotdevil | distros | 04:41 |
| chamunks | I wouldn't bother owning a dvd drive if it werent for rw's | 04:42 |
| Dae | I stopped using rw's a long time ago. Nothing seems to work 100% with them. | 04:42 |
| MACscr | same here | 04:42 |
| chamunks | dae you're just not trying the right tools. | 04:42 |
| guest9723948 | question: | 04:42 |
| chamunks | cdrecord from the commandline always blanks a disk fine. | 04:42 |
| Dae | You're probably right, but that's why I said "seems". | 04:42 |
| oisa | Using Ubuntu 12.10, the package manager has made itself unusable with an error on "linux-image-3.5.0-14-generic" | 04:42 |
| chamunks | Dae, MACscr http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-format-cdrw-dvdrw/ this is what you were looking for. | 04:43 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 04:43 |
| chamunks | MACscr, they're much better for burning new releases to that don't play well with Unetbootin / (the thing ubuntu uses for the same thing for usb os installs) | 04:43 |
| MACscr | eh, regular cdr's work fine for that | 04:44 |
| chamunks | wasteful | 04:44 |
| chamunks | and costs too much. | 04:44 |
| Dae | Thanks, chamunks, I'll use that if I ever come across an rw that needs blanking in the future. | 04:44 |
| MACscr | 50 discs is like $10 and lasts me a couple years | 04:44 |
| chamunks | i buy a single rw and all rw's have some thousands of possible read writes. | 04:45 |
| chamunks | an rw costs like a dollar. | 04:45 |
| chamunks | I keep a couple | 04:45 |
| chamunks | and i never worry about running out. | 04:45 |
| Nautilus | one time i bought 100 cdr's for $10 and then got 2-for-1 on it. 200 cdr's | 04:45 |
| === Guest51367 is now known as mathieuw | ||
| chamunks | Nautilus, nice, if i'm forced to buy cdr's in a spindle I will only buy sony dvd+r's | 04:46 |
| Dae | Oh, neat - wodim is already installed and updated. | 04:46 |
| chamunks | dae mhmm :) | 04:46 |
| chamunks | I wonder if you could even use a tool to set all bits on a dvd/cd to 1 | 04:46 |
| chamunks | because I imagine the 1 is what the laser sets when it burns a dot to the cd. | 04:47 |
| chamunks | so basically the opposite of zeroing out a harddrive with dban you could do that with 1's | 04:47 |
| Dae | I wonder what the result would be...empty, or full? | 04:48 |
| chamunks | Dae, it would be full. | 04:48 |
| Dae | I'm assuming it would be read incorrectly. | 04:48 |
| chamunks | my target would not be to re use the disk but to render it unreadable unrecoverable. | 04:48 |
| loli_stoner | no empty | 04:48 |
| loli_stoner | 1 isn't full and 0 empty | 04:48 |
| loli_stoner | it depends on what the filesystem says | 04:48 |
| loli_stoner | then just use sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx | 04:48 |
| loli_stoner | or use urandom instead of zero if you want | 04:49 |
| chamunks | loli_stoner, the point in my case / scenario would be to flip all bits to one side | 04:49 |
| loli_stoner | oh | 04:49 |
| chamunks | sort of like a dban (derek's boot and nuke) | 04:49 |
| chamunks | which performs a socalled "Secure wipe" of a hard drive. | 04:50 |
| Dae | You could accomplish the same with a microwave. ;-) | 04:50 |
| chamunks | Dae, you're right and its instant and makes interesting xmas tree decor | 04:50 |
| Dae | Exactly. | 04:50 |
| chamunks | Its simply a curiosity thing. Sort of like the concept of using dban is to theoretically render data unrecoverable on a magnetic storage device. | 04:51 |
| gollum | Hey, Is it possible to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04 LTS | 04:51 |
| gollum | ??? | 04:51 |
| Dae | I don't see why not, gollum. | 04:51 |
| chamunks | gollum, yes one level at a time. | 04:51 |
| chamunks | i believe its sudo apt-get distro upgrade or something like that | 04:52 |
| gollum | 11.04 and 12.04 right | 04:52 |
| SwedeMike | gollum: upgrade path is 10.04->12.04 or 10.10->11.04->11.10->12.04 | 04:52 |
| xangua | gollum: othere that goind thru 11.04, 11.10. 12.04 or fresh install, no | 04:52 |
| cfhowlett | gollum: no not directly. | 04:52 |
| gollum | Thanks guys. | 04:52 |
| Dae | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (repeat as needed) | 04:52 |
| chamunks | gollum, exactly what dae said. | 04:53 |
| gollum | @Dae Just doing that :) | 04:53 |
| Dae | ^_^ | 04:53 |
| chamunks | gollum, the only issue is you're going to have alot of skeletons in your closet from the old release. | 04:53 |
| chamunks | its usually better to simply have a separate partition/drive for /home/ | 04:53 |
| Dae | My suggestion: back up everything you want, wipe and start fresh. | 04:53 |
| chamunks | that way you can update the / | 04:53 |

| chamunks | devslash, utorrent usually doesn't ship with the webui itself | 05:09 |

| chamunks | in the windows version for the longest time (dont know if this has changed) you would be able to enable it but you still had to download its webui files separately. | 05:09 |
| jonhaller | cfhowlett: for configuration of source for a driver for my ralink rt5390 chipset | 05:09 |
| chamunks | devslash, than I would check to see if it has some sort of subdir in apache. | 05:09 |
| cfhowlett | jonhaller: sorry, never had to deal with ralink. Broadcom only. | 05:10 |
| chamunks | so for example localhost/phpmyadmin | 05:10 |

| eco_ | This is going to sound silly most likely, but are there any significant differences between coding C++ on a Windows Os and a Linux Os? I'm assuming no~ | 06:33 |
| tsimpson | eco_: as long as you stick to only standard C/C++, there is no difference | 06:35 |
| eco_ | What IDE would you recommend for C++ on a Linux system? | 06:35 |
| eco_ | Not sure if I wanna touch Code Blocks :I | 06:36 |
| agtownz | eco_: Do you need autocomplete and static code analysis? | 06:36 |
| tsimpson | there are many, I tend to use either Qt Creator or just kate | 06:36 |
| cjs | Well, one big difference is that under Unix a large number of coders use Emacs or Vim and command line tools, rather than an IDE. | 06:36 |
| eco_ | Eh, don't really need them, no. | 06:37 |

| yellabs-r2 | is there a way to change the colour of the unity lens overlay ? | 08:06 |
| soundar | hi all | 08:06 |
| DarkSim | I know I shouldn't ask to ask but its a question about latest ubuntu server, how to install stuff without network connection | 08:07 |
| yellabs-r2 | DarkSim , use the cd or make an usb boot , i think | 08:07 |
| IanWizard-Cloud | How can i get the network load? | 08:08 |
| fidel | DarkSim: what do you mean by 'stuff'? installing single packages afterwards - or talking about the basic install of the os itself? | 08:08 |
| DarkSim | Because I was thinking of installing a DE and a Webbrowser | 08:08 |
| DarkSim | but I can't access internet without logging in to it via a browser | 08:09 |
| DarkSim | and the DE so I can try to be a client without creating a real one, its a laboration in school if you find this request wierd | 08:09 |
| DarkSim | So Fidel, single packages | 08:10 |
| aMiRi_ | how can i install vuze on ubuntu 11.04 | 08:11 |
| fidel | DarkSim: well in case your install medium includes those packages - and the cd itself is still defined as apt-source - us apt | 08:11 |
| yellabs-r2 | DarkSim, maybe virtualbox is an option ? | 08:11 |
| DarkSim | It is not :/ | 08:11 |
| === epzil0n_ is now known as epzil0n | ||
| [deXter] | aMiRi_, sudo apt-get install vuze ? | 08:11 |
| fidel | DarkSim: you could for sure as well download those packages manually and installem them later on manually as well - which is ugly. on a long time view it might make sense to setup an local apt mirror in case you have several linux boxes without network access but with update-need | 08:12 |
| yellabs-r2 | DarkSim, you could then install your server in virtualbox , and login with the normal desktop | 08:12 |
| yellabs-r2 | is there a way to change the colour of the unity lens overlay ? | 08:12 |
| crizis | yellabs-r2, it changes color based on wallpaper color | 08:13 |
| crizis | yellabs-r2, also 'myunity' tool has some options for color intensity and such iirc | 08:13 |

| DarkSim | because I just need the simplest of web browsers so I can log in and get access, then I can download everything with apt get | 08:18 |
| yellabs-r2 | lynx ? | 08:18 |

| igama | SomethingMoreApp: You can install it as a VirtualMachine | 08:26 |
| bkerensa | SomethingMoreApp: Thanks | 08:26 |
| SomethingMoreApp | bkerensa i apologize for offending you. not everyone shares my enthusiastic passion for pornography | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingMoreApp: I told you already | 08:27 |
| timothyp | Hi, how can I set the resolution of ubuntu 12.04 to 640x480 and keep it that way, even if a screen with a larger resolution support is detected. I have to limit it to 640x480 (nvidia chipset) there's not much in xorg.conf so I'm guessing that is no longer the place to do it? | 08:27 |
| SomethingMoreApp | ActionParsnip - not really, you just said windows needs a third party to mount | 08:27 |
| SomethingMoreApp | that doesn't mean it's not possible | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | 09:23 < ActionParsnip> ILikePorn: mount the iso using magicdisk or daemontools SomethingMoreApp: no I didn't | 08:28 |
| somsip | SomethingMoreApp: in the distant past I used MagicISO to mount ISOs in Win | 08:28 |
| timothyp | SomethingMoreApp tried Wubi ? | 08:28 |
| somsip | Ah. Already covered | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingMoreApp: scrolling up helps | 08:28 |

| SomethingMoreApp | ActionParsnip - can i mount the disc and install it while in windows? | 08:31 |
| ozette | is there a stable version of Chrome on ubuntu? I find 21.0.1180.89 very unreliable, I can't do any web development on it | 08:32 |
| timothyp | SomethingMoreApp seriously have you tried Wubi to install Linux while in Windows???? | 08:32 |
| ozette | now I am forced to dev on ubuntu and share a folder with my windows vm to see my changes correctly | 08:32 |
| somsip | ozette: automatic update to 22 here today. Might have been on PPA though...brb | 08:32 |
| zomb13 | you can install ubuntu right from the web in windows using the browser http://bit.ly/SyoM8B | 08:32 |
| fidel | ozette: using the version google offers? | 08:32 |
| ozette | fider, yes | 08:33 |
| ozette | somsip ok | 08:33 |
| somsip | ozette: ah yes - I'm on PPA | 08:33 |
| fidel | ozette: you could as well try to use chromium-browser - < tends to be older | 08:33 |
| ozette | fidel, I've tried both and I find chromium-browser even more unreliable :( | 08:33 |
| fidel | ozette: well - both working stable here | 08:34 |
| somsip | ozette: been on Chrome for webdev work here for months with no probs - what's not working for you? | 08:34 |
| ozette | fidel, no problems with flash content and such? (youtube i.e) ? | 08:34 |
| ozette | somsip, especially borders aren't rendered correctly, and flash content is buggy | 08:34 |
| fidel | ozette: i dont see how using youtube is related with dev-dev in the first place ;) | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingMoreApp: yes, using magicdisk or daemonools | 08:34 |
| ozette | fidel, it's just an example | 08:34 |
| somsip | ozette: check to see if HTML5 is enabled for youtube. | 08:35 |
| ozette | somsip let me see | 08:35 |
| fidel | ozette: to answer it differently - i use both for testing code - not anything flash related. so sorry cant help you there | 08:35 |
| somsip | ozette: layout and normal CSS - no probs here | 08:35 |
| penguinman | I will be so glad once flash dies a horrible, fiery death... | 08:35 |
| [deXter] | I won't recommend daemontools as it comes bundled with spyware | 08:36 |
| ozette | somsip, I'm running a compass project here, and really my chrome just looks messed up. even for example when I simply changed my borders from dashed to solid, just as example it'd show the solid border but the left side of the div still had a dashed border | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | [deXter]: there is an option to not install it, all you have to do is read rather than the usual hammer next mentality | 08:38 |
| ozette | fidel, ok | 08:38 |
| [deXter] | ActionParsnip, yes, but I would rather they not support them for supporting spyware in the first place. | 08:38 |
| [deXter] | When there are better, spyware-free options available | 08:38 |
| ozette | I'm fine with coding and backend on linux, but when it comes to css or flash .. | 08:38 |
| somsip | ozette: I can't comment on Compass and we're probably well OT here. Maybe the Compass help forums can offer advice, or upgrade to 22 on PPA to see if that helps. Or log bugs to Chrome devs | 08:39 |
| DarkSim | Only recommendations I get on the web is to install regular ubuntu and add all the server tools instead *sob* | 08:39 |
| timothyp | Anybody know how to limit the resolution to 640x480 for both GDE and whatever window manager loads after that | 08:39 |
| ozette | somsip, ok | 08:39 |
| werner1 | Hello, since I changed my monitor, I regularly have the problem that my xserver freezes. Can someone guide me to how I can determine the cause of the problem? Currently I'm typing from another computer which has a ssh running on the problematic computer. | 08:40 |
| napster | [deXter]: I just tried [heXter] :) | 08:41 |
| [deXter] | O.o | 08:41 |

| DarkSim | Just quick question, when choosing between which files to download, tar.gz or .dsc | 08:49 |
| huhmaster | tar.gz | 08:49 |
| Pricey | DarkSim: Are you downloading from packages.ubuntu.com with an intent to install later? You want a .deb | 08:50 |
| DarkSim | Looking at unintu-desktop, it doesn't give me deb | 08:51 |

| Aristide | Hi ! | 08:52 |
| DarkSim | Geeze its hard | 08:52 |
| Aristide | Its possible to decrease packet lost on a UDP Server ? (DSMidiWifi) | 08:53 |

| Raji | Hello i want to configure an email for lan can any tell me how to do in ubuntu and which 3rd party tool should i use | 08:53 |
| DarkSim | It al began as install ubuntu server, then it all blew up | 08:53 |
| Pricey | DarkSim: This is a bad idea though... you should use an ubuntu cd instead. | 08:53 |
| DarkSim | no GUI, no webbrowser, no internet | 08:53 |
| DarkSim | why must they make it so hard | 08:54 |
| Pricey | DarkSim: Oh so the 'no internet' isn't intentional? Is it plugged into something? | 08:54 |
| fidel | DarkSim: it MIGHT make sense to re-summarize your entire question - adding all needed details once again | 08:54 |
| fidel | without spreading it to x lines - which makes it hard to follow for some of us ;) | 08:54 |
| Raji | Hello i want to configure an email for lan can anyone, tell me how to do in ubuntu and which 3rd party tool should i use | 08:55 |
| DarkSim | It's for a school lab, install ubuntu server, internet access is given when I login in on a webpage which pops up when I try to browse, server doesnt come with GUI or a browser | 08:55 |
| fidel | DarkSim: and who is administrating this server? | 08:56 |
| johnm | DarkSim: does it not come with a cli based browser? links/links2/lynx? | 08:56 |
| Pricey | DarkSim: I wouldn't be surprised if that web page doesn't work. Also, there's no difference between 'server' and 'desktop' except the packages installed at the start. | 08:56 |

| johnm | fidel: please try and put your words on a single line, instead of spreading it across many superfluous ones ;) | 08:59 |
| puddle | anyways if someone is using java ide (netbeans, phpstorm etc.) on linux and managed to set a font that doesnt look ugly and is readable pls help me out | 08:59 |
| fidel | johnm: there is !enter for that hrhr | 09:00 |
| johnm | fidel: thats quite impersonal though. | 09:00 |
| somsip | puddle: using default Monospaced 13 in Netbeans here and am not offended by its aesthetics | 09:00 |
| puddle | somsip i understand you but it still looks ugly like hell | 09:00 |
| johnm | puddle: you can throw additional fonts into the java_home dir (I think its under lib/fonts, but I forget), they need to be truetype. Then in the java settings (on ubuntu that should pop up in control panel I believe!) you can choose those you install. | 09:01 |
| somsip | puddle: subjective. UTU | 09:01 |
| VlanZ | so guys, can i do a script in bash that makes a ssh connection to a device and performs some changes? | 09:01 |
| DarkSim | Installing regular ubuntu, where can I find what packages define server edition? | 09:01 |
| puddle | well phpstorm allopws me to change fonts but i just cannot find any font that looks good in it, it looks okay in every other program on ubuntu just not in java one | 09:01 |
| somsip | puddle: I saw some blog item about a new fixed font from Adobe today...can't find it now... | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: its pretty minimal with the server kernel really | 09:02 |
| somsip | puddle: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html | 09:03 |

| tapout | what app is used on ubuntu to convert videos? | 09:06 |
| VlanZ | ActionParsnip: thanks for the feedback; can i also perform an IP address / hostname check to verify if it's modified and execute this script when t changes? | 09:07 |
| Pricey | tapout: handbreak? ffmpeg? mencoder? etc. etc. | 09:07 |
| somsip | tapout: ffmpeg or mencoder are popular I believe | 09:07 |
| SomethingMoreApp | WITHOUT | 09:07 |
| tapout | thanks | 09:07 |
| awestroke | frosty: use valgrind and gdb to find what causes the segfault | 09:08 |
| tf81_netbook | tapout: if you want one with a gui, i like handbrake | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | VlanZ: sure, you can grep / awk the output and then perform some logic based on the recovered data. | 09:08 |
| puddle | one more thing I would need help with, anyone can point me to a good documentation how can I set my 4th 5th 6th 7th mouse button (razer diamondback) because i need to switch some functionality, im right handed -.- | 09:08 |
| awestroke | frosty: compile with -g flag and then: valgrind --attach-db=yes ./testprogram | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingMoreApp: without what? | 09:09 |
| VlanZ | ActionParsnip: that will be very helpful, do i have to use "if" parameters? | 09:09 |
| tapout | i like handbrake but i can't specify that I want *.avi ( for some reason, my asus transformer running DiceVideo, won't let me increase video playback speed on *.mp4 and *.wmv), only *.avi and *.mov | 09:10 |
| shiju | how to open an ununtu share foler in other computer using ubuntu? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | VlanZ: as you like. Its very powerful | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tapout: tried ffmpeg? | 09:10 |
| tf81_netbook | what about .mkv? | 09:11 |
| tapout | mkv's are sluggish so the playback would probably be choppy | 09:11 |
| Eagleman | I have network cards attached with lspci but they wont shwo up with ifconfig -a | 09:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: is there a switch/router in between? | 09:12 |
| Eagleman | Its on esxi | 09:12 |
| Eagleman | SO i think it is a virtual switch | 09:13 |
| Eagleman | Other machines are working on that switch | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: I'd check in #vmware to make sure the VMs are correctly configured. The OS will see the interfaces it is given | 09:13 |
| johnm | frosty: 3.9GB looks anm awful lot to me like a 32bit kernel with PAE | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: also check with: sudo lshw -C network | 09:13 |
| johnm | frosty: you need both 64bit applications, and a 64bit kernel, with a 64bit CPU to have it work, and then it does depend on how you write your application as well (although it's much harder to get wrong on a 64bit box ;)) | 09:14 |
| frosty | awestroke, this is what comes out of it http://pastebin.com/WhDz0VHK | 09:15 |
| johnm | frosty: paste the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo; uname -a; ldd `which gcc`" | 09:16 |
| DarkSim | Jesus, this school blows | 09:18 |

| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: no, it won't run | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU though | 09:19 |
| DarkSim | Darn it, and I can't create bootables in windows on this junk | 09:20 |

| johnm | frosty: that looks OK, check ulimit isn't restricting you (ulimit -m) | 09:21 |
| johnm | frosty: ulimit -v will be relevant too. | 09:21 |

| johnm | frosty: it should be possible yes, but that'll explain the valgrind warnings you see. | 09:29 |
| johnm | frosty: I'm not sure why you're seeing that limit, quite frankly, it would need some investigation. Just for the sake of trying, can you iterate over 500MB or so 5 times and see if they all succeed? | 09:30 |

| johnm | frosty: I can't recreate it here (but I run fedora), and I do see a few people complaining about an identical problem with 12.04 | 09:44 |
| TRON | mii-tool say SIOCGMIIREG on eth1 failed: Input/output error @ eth1 / 2 / and 3 all use e1000e driver | 09:44 |
| MonkeyDust | SomethingMoreApp sounds like you're mixing a virtual machine and wubi | 09:44 |
| johnm | frosty: out of interest, have you tried on another 64bit distribution just to clarify? | 09:44 |
| Axsuul | How come when I do, /bin/su - joe -c -i 'echo $PATH', it gives me the correct $PATH under joe, but without the -i, it doesn't, and `su` doesn't appear to have a -i argument? | 09:44 |
| johnm | Axsuul: man su would answer all of that :) | 09:45 |
| SomethingMoreApp | ActionParsnip - what you said to me before was incorrect | 09:45 |
| Pricey | Axsuul: I'm not sure what '-i' is meant to be? But you want "-c 'echo $PATH'" with nothing said between it? | 09:45 |
| johnm | Axsuul: the -i is passed as an argument to the shell, not su. | 09:46 |
| frosty | johnm: Im running mint 13 on my laptop (if that counts as different consider all they share) and it fails above 2GB too. | 09:46 |

| Sergius | please!!! help me fix video... all movies lags in fullscreen mode.... ubuntu 12.04... any player... | 09:46 |
| Axsuul | johnm: what does -i do? my shell is zsh, and -i is interactive mode | 09:46 |
| johnm | frosty: if you're happy to share the code, i can test yours directly here and see what it is. | 09:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Sergius start with some detzails, type of card etc | 09:47 |
| Axsuul | Pricey: if I put -i in between, it gives me the correct path | 09:47 |
| MonkeyDust | details* | 09:47 |
| Axsuul | Pricey: as if I've logged in | 09:47 |
| SomethingMoreApp | i feel violated | 09:47 |
| johnm | Axsuul: -i is indeed interactive mode, which sets an interactive shell/tty. I'm not sure on zsh but typically that would mean it will read in shell rc etc | 09:47 |
| Sergius | ati radeon 256 mb... and i try that - metacity --replace, and video was fine... but all menus hide | 09:48 |
| johnm | Axsuul: $PATH is only set when you parse the system and user rc/profiles | 09:48 |
| === fire_ is now known as nerd | ||
| Axsuul | johnm: cool, that makes sense. Is there anything wrong with putting a -i there? | 09:48 |

| parre90090 | hi! | 09:51 |
| Schmoo | This is my problem. | 09:52 |
| Schmoo | I have a Gsky RT8187L 500MW USB adapter, Ubuntu doesnt have problems to find the hardware, i mean the network mananger can conect to free networks arround. | 09:52 |
| Schmoo | But, the conection only remain arround 30 seconds, i mean, i can open the internet browser type a url, and the browser only partial load a webpage. | 09:52 |
| Schmoo | The network mananger says im still conected, but the browser doesnt load any webpage, also the package mananger and any other app that need internet dont show anything. | 09:52 |
| Schmoo | Just for curiosity, when i make my fresh Ubuntu instalation via Live USB, the installer give me the option to conect to internet to download some files, i select the network and download whitout troubles (maybe only speed problems). | 09:52 |
| Schmoo | Right now i dont have acces to a wired internet to download things via package mananger, but i can acces to internet to donwload any required file whitout troubles using windows. | 09:52 |

| dr_willis | pishguy: 10.10 is eol. it may be yourchipset is not supported by the older drivers | 11:26 |

| Shazer[2] | Hey guys.. so I installed vim, but I'm having trouble locating my file.. | 12:04 |
| JoshuaP | dr_willis, why does this require answers by links from a bot? Why can't you just give answers? | 12:04 |
| Shazer[2] | It's on my USB? | 12:04 |
| zack6849 | How would i do this is im moving something to/user/local? | 12:05 |
| Shazer[2] | Nevermind, got it. | 12:05 |
| zack6849 | I hate to be a pain and have syntax spoonfed to me, but this is pretty confusing for me | 12:05 |
| dr_willis | JoshuaP: better to show him a guide for the next 10 bash shell questions he will be asking | 12:05 |
| JoshuaP | Shazer[2], try find /*/file.name | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | thebananfish: apt-cache search 7zip | 12:05 |
| JoshuaP | dr_willis, when I come here, it completely irritates me people have to give me botlinks. I liek when people can just tell me without all the extra work. | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | 'give a man a fish, fead him for a day.... teach a man to fish...' | 12:06 |
| JoshuaP | dr_willis, this isn't life, it's an operating system. Don't give me that! | 12:06 |
| kijewski | hello, can someone please explain how to report an issue to a ppa? https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers | 12:06 |

| ubottu | JoshuaP: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 12:07 |
| JoshuaP | -_- | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: and he'll trade his rod in, probably for a fish | 12:07 |
| JoshuaP | lotuspsychje, mind reading what I said up there ^ | 12:07 |
| JoshuaP | It's exactly the reason. | 12:07 |
| lotuspsychje | JoshuaP:be happy someone wants to help you.. | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | yea. lets get rid of all the documentions and guides... and just spoon feed people secret commands.. | 12:08 |
| zack6849 | Actually lotuspsychje , i think he was trying to help me a tad bit. | 12:08 |
| JoshuaP | lotuspsychje, they don't, though. They want to just bypass me and give me to a bot. | 12:08 |
| zack6849 | Beause i was asking the syntax for moving a file with sudo | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | JoshuaP:most ppl dont ever read the guides wich hold usefull info | 12:08 |
| DarkSim | Hm non-administrative rights really is tight | 12:09 |
| JoshuaP | lotuspsychje, well give them the help on what they need, then point out they can find out information at so and so, as well. | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | DarkSim: and thatsa a good thing. | 12:09 |
| zack6849 | you cant honestly say you read the whole manual on every operating system youve every used | 12:09 |
| zack6849 | You wanna go in and learn things, play around with it a bit first | 12:09 |
| DarkSim | We can only log in with the GUI on the regular account | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | JoshuaP:with such attitude you wont get help much here | 12:09 |
| JoshuaP | zack6849, and mostly thanks to this channel, that's exactly how I learn. | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | zack6849: thats a neat thing about learning the bash shell.. it should be pratically the same oon any os that has bash | 12:09 |
| DarkSim | can't I be in the GUI with root? | 12:10 |
| TJ- | Problem: rsync between two hosts causing the disk-space usage to explode on the destination. Doing "rsync -av <hostname>:/usr/local/ /usr/local/" from a source file-system (7GB ext3) mounted at /usr/local/ is resulting in rsync running out of space on the destination (15GB ext4) mounted at /usr/local/. No obvious issues with symlinks, not crossing file-systems on the source. Any ideas... ? | 12:10 |
| lotuspsychje | anyway lets keep ontopic | 12:10 |
| kijewski | [repeat] Hello, can someone please explain how to report an issue to a ppa? https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers | 12:10 |
| JoshuaP | lotuspsychje, I'm only pointing out that it could work wonders not to give people links rthat might sometimes not even asnwer their question. | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | DarkSim: you do not directly login to the x desktop as root. | 12:10 |
| JoshuaP | But I don't run the Ubuntu community, so I'm go9ing AFK. | 12:10 |
| auronandace | JoshuaP: what was your question? | 12:10 |
| JoshuaP | Nice day, all. | 12:11 |
| DarkSim | I did get that and I thank you for the help | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | we did both.. gave him the command and a url for further reading.. | 12:11 |
| DarkSim | but can't I login as root so I can change stuff | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | DarkSim: you login as a user and use sudo as needed | 12:11 |
| DarkSim | So I can't use the gui as normal, I have to be a regular user | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | DarkSim: running the gui as root is NOT 'as normal' | 12:12 |
| auronandace | DarkSim: the gui is meant to be used by the regular user | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | even logging into the console as root would be considered abnormal | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | 'login as a user, use sudo as needed' is normal | 12:13 |
| DarkSim | By normal I meant use the GUI functions | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | for ubuntu at least | 12:13 |
| DarkSim | like paste and copy wherever I want for example | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | you do NOT want to be running the whold desktop as root. | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | oh hell no | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nor is it needed | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | you can run specific apps as root. via sudo, or gksudo | 12:14 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: then run: gksudo nautilus and you have full file system access. | 12:15 |
| DarkSim | Thanks | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | this approach is sort of a big block of the foundation of linux security | 12:15 |
| * lotuspsychje likes security | 12:15 | |
| dr_willis | i would be very very carefull with even 'gksudo nautilus' | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: you don't need to log in as root, not all the processes need to run as root which is what happens when you log in as root | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: its not just the apps you launch, its the panels and the desktop itself, and the window manager | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DarkSim: stuff like that, not needed | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | many apps wont even let themselfs be ran by 'root' | 12:16 |

| TJ- | ActionParsnip: mithran You've found a bug in the k3b package, looks like a typo in the debian/control file for the Depends on libc6. Should be >=2.14 but is actually >=2.4 | 12:29 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: mithran the k3b depends for amd64 is libc6 (>=2.14) but for i386 it's (>=2.4). libc version in Precise is 2.15 | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Could use brasero or xfburn until the bug is fixed | 12:31 |

| mbeierl | ActionParsnip, is there another one for Ubutnu? I haven't tried it from any other os. | 12:36 |
| mbeierl | Ubuntu even. | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: tsclient is one I can think of | 12:37 |

| mbeierl | ActionParsnip, that doesn't exist in 12.04 | 12:37 |

| Shazer[2] | I get no option to select my USB, but I manually have to go to media/usb-name | 13:11 |
| escott | Shazer[2], that is the USB | 13:12 |
| Shazer[2] | escott, I know... | 13:12 |
| Shazer[2] | It's just a pain having to navigate to /media/ | 13:12 |
| Shazer[2] | instead of just having a quick toolbar to select my USB | 13:12 |
| escott | Shazer[2], thats because IDLE isn't using the right toolkit to draw the nice file save dialog | 13:12 |
| Shazer[2] | so nothing I can do about it basically, escott? | 13:12 |
| escott | Shazer[2], use something other than IDLE | 13:13 |
| Shazer[2] | haha, I don't know anything else that is decent and easy to use.. | 13:13 |
| escott | Shazer[2], gedit has python bindings and an interactive python shell plugin | 13:13 |

| john_doe_jr | Does anyone know why my ubuntu 12.04 new install on vmware font is so small…I can't even read it | 13:27 |
| DaemonicApathy | Is it fullscreen? | 13:28 |
| john_doe_jr | yes | 13:28 |
| escott | john_doe_jr, you might want to install the guest additions | 13:29 |
| john_doe_jr | I installed vmtools…is guest edition different? | 13:30 |
| escott | john_doe_jr, additions not editions. not sure what they call them in vmware, but its special drivers installed in the guest that allow it to better integrate with the the host | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Shazer[2]: if you open the folder ni nautilus, you can add it to your bookmarks | 13:31 |
| mnice | john_doe_jr: he's confusing you with VBox think .. if you have vmware you use vmtools, if you use vbox you use guest additions | 13:31 |
| mnice | **thing | 13:31 |
| DaemonicApathy | john_doe_jr: if you type MyUnity into the Dash, is it installed? That should allow you to adjust fonts after all is aid and done. | 13:31 |
| DaemonicApathy | *said | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | DaemonicApathy: no myunity in quantal as yet (just an fyi) | 13:32 |
| john_doe_jr | DaemonicApathy: what is the dash? | 13:32 |
| DaemonicApathy | The thing that comes up when you hti the Super key. | 13:33 |
| DaemonicApathy | Thank you, ActionParsnip, I wasn't sure. | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | john_doe_jr: click the ubuntu logo in top left, thats the dash | 13:33 |
| DaemonicApathy | If MyUnity isn't there, I would suggest installing gnome-tweak-tool. | 13:33 |
| turtle_ | ok more questions about 2 users, multiple x sessions. I can't seem to find much online, but I want to have a business login and regular login on this PC to keep them separate, Drwillis mentioned a hiddenx session and VNC, is that gonna be the best way? | 13:34 |
| john_doe_jr | DaemonicApathy: it's not there….I can't even see though the font is so small | 13:34 |
| escott | turtle_, depends on how you want to do things. i would find a vnc session is a bit overkill. I would just ssh back to localhost and fire off individual applications as needed | 13:35 |
| turtle_ | i'd prefer to keep them separate because i have crossovers with applications and online services that I use for both business and personal use, but would quite like to be able to login to both users, switch desktops between the two | 13:35 |
| DaemonicApathy | john_doe_jr: Since it's VMWare, you should probably adjust the resolution of the guest system, as per http://goo.gl/oOHnS | 13:36 |
| turtle_ | escott, my idea (not sure how realistic) was a full desktop environment for both, so i can customise each one to its use | 13:37 |
| escott | turtle_, you can certainly do that. the main issue that linux has with multiple desktops is that currently its really only possible to have one desktop displayed which is accelerated. So if you want unity3d or gnome-shell you can really only do that with one session, the other will be 2d | 13:38 |
| ab2qik | Hi, anyone ideas about increasing size of /boot | 13:39 |
| ab2qik | df -h says its 89% full | 13:39 |
| ThinkT510 | ab2qik: gparted to the rescue | 13:39 |
| ThinkT510 | ab2qik: or you could just get rid of older kernels | 13:39 |
| escott | ab2qik, you can boot a live cd and install it that way, or just identify the particular kernels that are accumulating in /boot and apt-get remove the exact kernel version | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: uninstall unused kernels and it will reduce used space | 13:40 |
| ab2qik | yeah how would i get rid of old kernels? | 13:40 |
| zykotick9 | turtle_: it's possible to run multiple Xorg sessions at the same time (like one on F7 and one on F8) that you can switch between (IF you have 2 users). there was gdmflexiserver, not sure if light DM has an easy program like that (from TTY you try "startx -- :1" to start a NEW Xsession (DON'T use the same USER, or you run into problems!) | 13:40 |
| ThinkT510 | ab2qik: use the package manager, synaptic is great | 13:40 |
| turtle_ | escott, not a problem having a 2d desktop :) | 13:41 |
| escott | ab2qik, dpkg -l "*linux*3*" will list the various installed kernels with "ii" on the left, you can then "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic" | 13:41 |
| ab2qik | whats the command to get kernel versions displayed in /boot? | 13:42 |
| turtle_ | zykotick9, will startx take care of everything? window management, shell etc as well? | 13:42 |
| zykotick9 | escott: ab2qik from terminal "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" should list all kernels | 13:42 |
| escott | turtle_, the main concern with zykotick9's suggestion would be stability if you are using any proprietary drivers | 13:42 |
| zykotick9 | escott: ? the drivers ati/nvidia will apply to each? | 13:43 |
| ab2qik | Thanks, got list of each kernel. Now to delete the unneeded ones. | 13:43 |
| escott | zykotick9, frequent switching of the VT with proprietary drivers is probably more likely to cause crashes | 13:43 |
| DaemonicApathy | Hmm... "startx --:1" seems to have crashed my tty1 terminal. | 13:44 |
| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: try alt+f8 now | 13:44 |
| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: xorg should be running in tty1 (so you can't use it anymore) | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: if you can pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a | 13:45 |
| turtle_ | ok, so what would you recommend? so i can know what to look for online | 13:45 |
| DaemonicApathy | Nothing, zykotick9. It returned a fatal error, and there's no change in any VT. | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: we can then advise | 13:45 |
| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: ahhh, fatal error - so it's NOT working for you :| | 13:45 |
| DaemonicApathy | Exactly. | 13:45 |
| ab2qik | ActionParsnip: THanks. | 13:46 |
| escott | turtle_, there are a bunch of ways to do it. its really up to you. running another X server on a different tty, using xnest, using vnc, ssh back to localhost | 13:46 |
| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: fyi i'd try "startx -- :1" notice the space between the -- and the :1 | 13:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | That is exactly what I submitted. | 13:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | Er, nvm. | 13:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | Beautiful, I had forgotten the second space. Works like a charm. | 13:47 |
| zykotick9 | :) | 13:48 |
| ab2qik | ActionParsnip: its in pastebin | 13:49 |

| DaemonicApathy | zykotick9, thanks for the tip. See you all after I reboot. | 13:49 |
| ab2qik | whereelse shold it have gone in | 13:49 |
| ab2qik | sure | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: when you made the paste, the address bar changed. Copy the new address and paste it in here | 13:50 |
| escott | ab2qik, unless you are using lvm or luks or btrfs you usually don't need a /boot | 13:50 |
| ab2qik | http://pastebin.com/5ZGPg28e | 13:50 |
| escott | ab2qik, i think grub even boots btrfs these days | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: it does :) | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: ok and a pastebin of the output of: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 13:51 |
| ab2qik | so for the moment if kernel deletion can reduce size, will be good. | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ab2qik: sure as there are files in /boot relating to the old kernels | 13:51 |
| ab2qik | Here you go sir: http://pastebin.com/w8sSrif3 | 13:52 |
| ab2qik | i assume make all those kern deletions should reduce size well below 89% usage? | 13:53 |

| DX099 | hello, I'm running 12.04 with Unity and Gnome-Shell installed. Since a update I did a few hours ago, I can't launch Unity nor Gnome-shell anymore. GS falls back in gnome-panel mode and Unity just print "failed to load Ubuntu session" and then back at light-dm. If I try to run one of them while being in gnome-panel, it just brings me back to login, as if X crashed. Using Nvidia binary blob. can someone help ? | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | DX099: can you log in to Unity2D session? | 14:26 |
| mneptok | DX099: you probably have to rebuild the blob for a new kernel that got installed. | 14:26 |

| |Anthony| | dr_willis, MonkeyDust: the only reason i'm even thinking about it as a solution is cause i'm experimenting with multiseat. It seems that the only way i can get each seat to have audio is if i run pulse as a system-wide instance instead of per user. | 15:30 |
| dr_willis | |Anthony|: no idea on multiseat, sorry. thats a 'cutting edge' sort of thing. ;) | 15:31 |
| DX099 | ActionParsnip, thanks for the tip, it worked. | 15:31 |
| |Anthony| | dr_willis, MonkeyDust: i have it working ok for me, but i want to update https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX for 12.04 and have a more complete solution for audio. | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | DX099: its one of the pains of binary drivers. they are sweet but if they screw up it can be a pain | 15:32 |
| |Anthony| | it's a big pita tbh and it isn't a general use case solution. for example an internet cafe should NOT use this multiseat audio solution | 15:32 |
| DX099 | now I have another problem : I'm using Unity, and even with the "Launcher Capture Mouse" option and the Autohide activated, when I put my mouse on the left part of the screen(where the launcher is), It won't show up like before | 15:32 |
| MonkeyDust | |Anthony| I know what multiseat is, but am not familiar with it -- guess you're being one of the pioneers who does the dirty work for all to follow | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | DX099: ive seen that, I had to press SuperL to get it to appear, I just don't bother now | 15:33 |

| |Anthony| | MonkeyDust, lol. i don't feel like i've contributed much back to the community. so i help where i can. | 15:34 |
| DX099 | ActionParsnip, ah, a shame it was working perfectly | 15:34 |
| |Anthony| | TJ-, yeah i've seen that. it's actually up in one of my ff tabs | 15:34 |
| |Anthony| | TJ-, his solution for $PULSE_SINK per user... i haven't tried it cause it sounds fishy... $PULSE_SINK is a global variable. lol | 15:35 |

| ActionParsnip | denebeim: lots of choices, go crazy | 15:51 |
| denebeim | I'm sorry, I guess i wasn't clear. I was asking if anyone knew what to tell handbrake (or whatever) to rip the avengers. I should have said 'without crashing' | 15:51 |
| ikonia | denebeim don't use handbrake to rip - use it to encode | 15:51 |
| denebeim | ah. gotcha. | 15:52 |
| denebeim | it's two steps nowadays? | 15:52 |
| dr_willis | i thought handbreak only workd with nonencrypted dvd also. | 15:52 |
| rigo | hi | 15:52 |
| ikonia | denebeim: no, it's always been two steps | 15:52 |
| denebeim | nope works find on encrypted | 15:52 |
| ikonia | denebeim: you can't encode something you've not extracted | 15:52 |
| rigo | how is this that after each reboot i get different dmesg-es? | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | denebeim: can't vlc spit played dvd out to file? | 15:53 |
| denebeim | I've not tried it yet, but I usually have bad luck with vlc | 15:53 |
| denebeim | saving i mean works great for playing. | 15:53 |
| dr_willis | k9copy can also do dvd to video file | 15:53 |
| rigo | sometimes the dvb firmware is loaded without prob, sometimes it has to load 2 times. and ie sometimes the philips usb hid is loaded sometimes not. | 15:53 |

| DX099 | ActionParsnip, did you try to reinstall unity ? is that a recent bug ? | 15:54 |
| denebeim | oh great vlc is barfing on it as well | 15:54 |
| dr_willis | some of the new dvd copy protection can mess things up badly | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | DX099: not sure, have a look at bugs for it, see what's going ok | 15:55 |

| dr_willis | i have dvds that only play in my blue ray player | 15:55 |
| denebeim | I got the dvd, what did you use? | 15:55 |
| denebeim | ah that's it needed root | 15:55 |

| Afflicto | dr_willis: I read something about apt-get install samba, I did that and now I can open the workgroup on the ubuntu. I dno | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | or just use winscp and ssh if you dont plan on transfering stuff a lot | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | samba server lets you have shares on the ubuntu box | 16:23 |
| Afflicto | dr_willis: I'm gonna create a new workgroup and see what I can do. I'm probably gonna transfer a bunch yea :P | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | i only use one workgroup in my home lan. | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | i also give the linux users a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | you may want to enable the homes share on the linux box also. | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | samba has a lot of features. ;) | 16:25 |
| Afflicto | I created my homegroup now called 'dreamvoid'. What do I do now? you're going kinda fast :P | 16:26 |
| Afflicto | I created in on my windows machine. | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | you made a share on the windows box that has 'guest' permissions? | 16:26 |
| Afflicto | no what's a "share"? | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | a homegroup is NOT the same as a workgroup.. its ms's next step in shareing | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | right click on a folder to share it.. | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | what do you expect the linux box to see? no shares = nothing to access.. | 16:28 |
| Afflicto | Oh right. yes I right-clicked my C drive and gave aeveryone full access. I'd like to set a password on it or perhaps only allow my ubuntu machine access.. somehow? | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | set a password for your user.. is the safest/saneist thing to do | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | and shareing all of c: is a bit overkill | 16:29 |
| Afflicto | dr_willis: but I don't want to send 1 terrabyte of stuff to a public folder, then do the same again from public to different locations. | 16:30 |
| Afflicto | would take double amount of time. | 16:30 |
| Afflicto | Ok now I don't even see the C drive on ubuntu any longer. | 16:32 |
| Afflicto | I went to files -> network -> the win 7 machine -> 0 items. | 16:32 |

| dr_willis | use ctrl L to show the address bar and type in the share name perhaps Afflicto | 16:34 |

| dr_willis | dont use spaces in share names.. ut can cause issues | 16:36 |

We have developed some packages (autotool packages not .deb) which I need to compile and install them on ubuntu base image. After research I found out is much more complex compare to rpm packaging. Any hint on easier better way to get to this will be greatly appreciated? thx | 16:59 |
| ikonia | bizhanMona: a deb format is %101 the best way | 17:00 |
| jrib | bizhanMona: you want information on how to create a proper deb package? | 17:00 |
| Joshun | i'm pretty sure unity2d would just use gcon | 17:00 |
| ikonia | bizhanMona: it's not more complex than RPM builds, it is different, once you setup the build env, it's very easy and quick | 17:00 |
| Joshun | *gconf | 17:00 |
| Joshun | i'll try another account anyway | 17:01 |
| turtle_ | the compiz channel are pretty idle, anyone familiar enough with compiz to answer a question? | 17:02 |
| bizhanMona | where is the best resource for deb package creation from source please? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | !packaging | bizhanMona | 17:02 |
| ubottu | bizhanMona: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring | 17:02 |
| Joshun | dr_willis - definitely not a config problem then. the guest account (which uses a temporary profile) has the same problem | 17:03 |
| Joshun | I don't think unity2d can be shrunk either | 17:03 |
| bizhanMona | thank you all for info. | 17:03 |
| bizhanMona | !backports | 17:04 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 17:04 |
| Joshun | are ubuntu backports still unsupported btw. | 17:05 |
| Joshun | because if they are why are they enabled by default | 17:05 |
| TJ- | Joshun: "dconf-editor" com.canonical.unity-2d.launcher.hide-mode = 1 | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | they are not enabl3ed by default as far as i know | 17:09 |
| Joshun | TJ- i'll try that anyway, though I did click 'reset behaviour' under settings and then re-enabled auto hde | 17:11 |
| Joshun | *hide | 17:11 |
| awole20 | fbernier: yeah, I've never seen that before in my short time here, sorry. | 17:11 |
| awole20 | fbernier: ...does it happen in different desktop environments as well? | 17:12 |
| TJ- | JoshuaP: yeah, I know, but thought it might be helpful to know where the setting is stored. The actual file the setting is in, is a binary file "~/.config/dconf/user" | 17:12 |

| TJ- | Joshun: Try throwing the mouse *hard* at the side ... I used to suffer that issue but it went away | 17:14 |

| Joshun | I can't use the normal unity either because it just locks up on my nvidia chipset | 17:16 |
| Guest46059 | I have a problem in writing programs.... in terminal. We can't use backspace... and I am somehow not convient with it... Can somebody please tell me what should I install to make it flexible... Thank you in advance... | 17:16 |
| Joshun | but I think it has the same autohide problem anyway | 17:16 |
| TJ- | Joshun: Any clues in /var/log/syslog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors ? | 17:16 |
| TJ- | Guest46059: Ctrl+h | 17:17 |
| Joshun | TJ- its rather low spec, though worked better in previous releases | 17:17 |
| Guest46059 | What do u mean by ctrl+h | 17:19 |
| Guest46059 | ? | 17:19 |
| Guest46059 | @TJ | 17:19 |
| TJ- | Guest46059: backspace == Ctrl+h | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | sometimes the backspace and del keys get reversed. | 17:21 |
| turtle_ | Guest46059, if you press Ctrl+H is another way of using backspace in a terminal | 17:21 |
| Guest46059 | TJ : Can u tell me if i can install an add on as I installed vim in case of Mint...? | 17:21 |
| Joshun | does unity2d have an updated/fixed ppa? | 17:22 |
| dr_willis | an add on for vim Guest46059 ? | 17:22 |
| TJ- | Guest46059: I'm not clear what you're asking. I thought you wanted to be able to use backspace to edit at a terminal Ctrl+h is the backspace key-combination | 17:22 |
| Guest46059 | @dr willis: ya... plz if u could.. | 17:23 |
| Guest46059 | I mean an add on similar to vim in mint | 17:23 |

| Guest46059 | I mean that can we install a software so that I can use terminal flexibly... In case of linux mint I had installed "vim" | 17:26 |

| mikebot | Hi, when I try to "Try Ubuntu" from a usb drive created with unetbootin, I keep getting the error "nvalid of corrupt kernel image." Is there a way to diagnose this? | 17:45 |
| mikebot | Thanks | 17:45 |
| rickzc | test | 17:46 |
| mikebot | Excuse me: "Invalid or corrupt kernel image" | 17:46 |
| sayers | format your USB stick and try again | 17:46 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: what about it? | 17:46 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: dd the image to the USB stick | 17:46 |
| mikebot | sayers: Formatting is different from just installing unetbootin over what is on it? | 17:47 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: What is dd? | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: don't use unetbootin, it doesn't work properly | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: and the output of: file /usr/bin/java | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: it's a command you use to copy from one device to another | 17:47 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Oh, is there another way to create it on a mac? | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: or in this case, from the iso to the device | 17:47 |
| Krenair | /usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java' | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: should work on a mac, too | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java | 17:47 |
| Krenair | /etc/alternatives/java: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java' | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: are you trying to boot a mac? | 17:47 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Is there a tutorial for dd'ing the image to a usb and being able to boot from it? | 17:48 |
| Krenair | ActionParsnip, no | 17:48 |
| Krenair | /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk is empty | 17:48 |
| sayers | mikebot: your USB stick could need formating becuz of corruption inside on some of it's hidden system files | 17:48 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: It's a pc, but I have to create the usb drive on a mac | 17:48 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: okay | 17:48 |
| gordonjcp | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: basically link the file it expects to the java that /usr/bin/java is running to entertain the app, should be ok | 17:48 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Thanks! | 17:48 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: I don't think you need to do the conversion step any more | 17:48 |
| mikebot | sayers: I see. OK, thanks! I'll try to format it | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: you get the idea | 17:49 |
| Krenair | Maybe I should sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64 ? | 17:49 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: this will wipe anything on the stick, so make a backup if you care about your data | 17:49 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: unetbootin will probably have wiped it already though | 17:49 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Oh OK. So I don't need to format it separately from the instructions you linkd me to? | 17:49 |
| mikebot | linked* | 17:49 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: shouldn't need to, no | 17:49 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Brilliant, thank you! | 17:49 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: on stuff like memory sticks, "formatting" isn't really formatting | 17:50 |
| gordonjcp | it just creates a filesystem | 17:50 |
| gordonjcp | calling it "formatting" is a bit of a misnomer | 17:50 |
| mikebot | gordonjcp: Ah I see. Was unaware of this. :) | 17:50 |
| gordonjcp | mikebot: it's a small, nitpicky point ;-) | 17:50 |

My problem is , when I launch fl studio (via wine) , I can only hear the sound of fl studio , I mean , if I launch FL and a video on my browser , I don't hear the video , is there anyway to fix it ? | 17:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Spoils: if you log off and on, is it ok? | 17:52 |
| sayers | you clicked right button and exit | 17:53 |
| joebar | well , I think it is because of the audio driver , isn't there any driveapps ?r that I could use for every program ? Instead of one for FL and one for other | 17:53 |

| mikebot | sayers: Ah, I see. Is there no way to create this on a mac then? | 17:56 |
| TeckniX | ActionParsnip: they already are, but I think the precise-security filter was the culprit. Realized that with your link post | 17:57 |
| mikebot | sayers: Oh, I have to format the usb as NTFS? | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Domincii: if you join a new channel, you will get a new button in the browser | 17:57 |
| sayers | mikebot: I'm not familiar with Macintosh, but you could do that formating and then to select NTFS file system | 17:57 |
| Domincii | I'm not sure how to join a new channel though | 17:57 |
| TeckniX | ActionParsnip: only getting http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security/universe vs http://security.ubuntu.com precise/universe | 17:57 |

| usr13 | Newb101: It would be a pretty complicated affair to move the entire operating system, copying the dada is the easy part, but it would be difficult to talk you through the entire process of getting your data transfered, then changeing the /etc/fastab file so that it would be operational, and then re-installing the grub boot loader in order for it to boot. We could look around for some sort of tutural, but the bottom line is that it would be easier to back up | 18:03 |
| gordonjcp | Newb101: quickest thing to do would be to do a clean install onto the 160 and copy your data across | 18:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Newb101, Take a look at clonezilla, the thing to notice is the size of the cloned partition must equal the partition installed to, so you would have to adjust accordingly. | 18:05 |
| usr13 | Newb101: ... and there may be a better solution. If you explain your situation, maybe we could advise you. | 18:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Newb101, the partition cloned to has to be equal or bigger then the cloned partition as a clearer description | 18:06 |

| usr13 | webereinc: It may be a bit hard for us to figure out why the password authentication fails. | 18:14 |
| _oddis_ | i've read a ton about it, and it's wpa_supplicant that's having issues, or at least it's only able to get to 2/4 of the authentication stages, anyone heard about it? | 18:15 |

| copec | With nvidia proprietary drivers and no xorg.conf (letting xorg detect) I have two nvidia cards with three monitors, when I run xrandr it only shows "Screen 0" (xorg comes up with just the first head outputting) | 19:22 |
| drake | hey is anyone avail to lend a hand on a keyboard issue whilst connecting to a server via Remmina..? | 19:22 |
| copec | How can I fix this? I've googled as well as I can and can't find an answer. | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | copec: nvidia-proprietary ususally requires an xorg.conf? then setup/activate the monitors in "nvidia-settings", AND save to Xorg.conf (it's a button). | 19:23 |
| copec | I've tried using nvidia-settings and generating an xorg.conf, it can only do twinview or xinerama | 19:24 |
| copec | from what I read xinerama is deprecated, and unity2d crashes all the time under it | 19:25 |
| zykotick9 | copec: well... that's not correct. but. i've never used more then 2 monitors... | 19:25 |
| copec | the crashing is personal expirience | 19:25 |
| zykotick9 | copec: fyi twinview IS nvidia's propritary version of xinerama | 19:25 |
| copec | either way it only supports two heads, is my point | 19:26 |
| zykotick9 | l8r folks. | 19:26 |
| drake | hey is anyone avail to lend a hand on a keyboard issue whilst connecting to a server via Remmina..? | 19:26 |

| bizhanMona | HI I just installed the ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop. During installation I do not recall I was asked for root password. Now I need to do some admin stuff which requires root password, how could I recover the root password? do I need to reinstall everything all over again? Thx | 20:19 |
| DaemonicApathy | honestly, i think the setting menu in update-manager tells you the same. | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | !root | bizhanMona | 20:20 |
| ubottu | bizhanMona: 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 | 20:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | bizhanMona, use your user password when using sudo. | 20:20 |
| bizhanMona | DaemonicApathy: I did and did not work.. | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | bizhanMona: use "sudo foo" for cli apps, and "gksudo foo" for GUI apps | 20:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | Your main user account should be an admin account by default, so that seems odd to me. | 20:21 |
| DaemonicApathy | Do you have a password on your account? | 20:21 |

| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: only the 1st created account gets sudo by default (or that's the way it use to be) | 20:22 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: in what way did it not work? | 20:22 |
| Dantevios | How dost I add a "domain" to my /etc/resolf.conf through the use of thine nm-applet ? | 20:22 |
| DaemonicApathy | "1st", "main"...perhaps I assume too much. | 20:22 |
| bizhanMona | guntbert sudo service <some service> restart | 20:22 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: and what happened? | 20:22 |
| john | what's going on with #philosophie. I cant seem so get connected | 20:22 |
| Dantevios | I seeith a place for the search domain to be added, but my domains are not resolving to thine hosts! | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | john: ask in #freenode | 20:23 |
| DaemonicApathy | john: perhaps they decided to be #philosophy instead? | 20:23 |
| john | I said nothing | 20:23 |
| eXile_ | ls | 20:23 |
| DaemonicApathy | Dantevios: "thine" means "your". | 20:24 |
| bizhanMona | guntbert: sorry yes I typed my password and the failure was it did not recognize the Dhcpd service. | 20:24 |
| bizhanMona | So the question is how could I restart the dhcp client on my system? | 20:24 |
| === CookieMan is now known as CPCookieMan | ||
| DaemonicApathy | ubuntu restart dhcp | 20:24 |
| Dantevios | Precisely my dear boy DaemonicApathy | 20:24 |
| DaemonicApathy | Hmm, focus changing needs tweaking. | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | DaemonicApathy: client side, "sudo dhclient eth0" replace eth0 with device | 20:25 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: ok, that sounds like sudo just works ok - you would have got a different error | 20:25 |
| Dantevios | bizhanMona: dhclient -r, then dhclient eth0 | 20:25 |
| DaemonicApathy | zykotick9: you're correct. Was googling for a reminder, but the focus changed incorrectly. | 20:25 |
| WeThePeople | hi, is there a program to filter out double emails on a spreadsheet for ubuntu | 20:25 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: try sudo service isc-dhcpd status | 20:26 |
| guntbert | Dantevios: server, not client if I understood correctly | 20:26 |
| thufir_ | I have two hard drives, 30gb and 80gb. Ubuntu 12.10 is installed on the 30gb drive. How can I install Ubuntu to the other drive only and leave the first drive alone? https://gist.github.com/3790385 | 20:26 |
| ThinkT510 | !12.10 | thufir_ | 20:26 |
| ubottu | thufir_: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 20:26 |
| Dantevios | *shrug* he asked how he could restart the dhcp client guntbert so I don't know | 20:27 |
| john | can't send to channel.. ugh | 20:27 |
| thufir_ | whoops, 12.04 I meant | 20:27 |
| DaemonicApathy | WeThePeople: something like this?: http://goo.gl/Q8ncn | 20:27 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: regardless of version, just don't put it on the other disk then? | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | john: ask in #freenode, it's not an Ubuntu issue. | 20:27 |
| thufir_ | kriskropd: right, but how? | 20:28 |
| WeThePeople | daemonicapathy, no lol | 20:28 |
| john | zykotick9, will do | 20:28 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: during the installation wizard, you can select where to install ubuntu | 20:28 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: my bad i misread that, you had already installed it | 20:28 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: don't offer assistance with beta releases in #ubuntu, that's what #ubuntu+1 is for. | 20:28 |
| Monotoko2 | hello guys, can anyone help me with DHCP? I'm trying to network share with it off, in other words I want my iPhone to connect to the shared wifi on my laptop, but get it's IP address from the ethernet DHCP | 20:28 |
| thufir_ | ok, let me rephrase. I'm using Ubuntu at the moment. How do I run the installation wizard from within Linux? | 20:28 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: he already said he meant 12.04 | 20:29 |
| WeThePeople | daemonicapathy, ok yeah i guess so | 20:29 |
| WeThePeople | thanks | 20:29 |
| DaemonicApathy | ^_^ | 20:29 |
| bizhanMona | dhclient -r/etho worked, but the sudo service isc-dhcpd status failed with isc-dhcpd as unknown service... | 20:29 |
| DaemonicApathy | thufir: You might try it from within a VM. | 20:30 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: you can't; you can either run through the instlalation all over again on the other disk, or just move all the files over (thought he latter is a bit mroe complicated) | 20:30 |
| kriskropd | installation* the* | 20:30 |
| Monotoko2 | anyone? | 20:30 |
| usaguy | hi | 20:30 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: if you need further assistance please clarify if you are talking about dhcp server or dhcp client | 20:30 |
| DaemonicApathy | kriskropd: *more ;-) | 20:30 |
| thufir_ | huh. I was sure that there was a way to install Linux from Linux. After all, the install disc is a live disc. | 20:30 |
| Domincii | Could someone assist me in installing drivers for my graphics card? I'm uncertain it's correctly installed | 20:31 |
| kriskropd | DaemonicApathy: i know, im so bad with typoes :( | 20:31 |
| Dantevios | nm-applet, where can I add a domain to my resolve.conf from it? | 20:31 |
| DaemonicApathy | Ok thufir_, would you like the complicated way? | 20:31 |
| thufir_ | yes pls | 20:31 |
| allohak | when I do an 'ls -l' what does the '+' mean at the end of crw-rw---T+ | 20:31 |
| allohak | I'm having trouble googling it | 20:31 |
| bizhanMona | guntbert: thanks for your help, I was planning to use client and it is working now. Thank to you and Dantevios | 20:31 |
| Monotoko2 | allohak: symbols are annoying to google, i agree | 20:31 |
| guntbert | bizhanMona: glad you got what you needed - have fun with ubuntu :) | 20:32 |
| klpkt | Hello. I have a problem on my Ubuntu computer, which is that when I connect my headphones, the sound suddenly goes way down. I have learned to fix this through alsamixer, but it's getting tedious to open it and modify the values every time I connect or reconnect the headphones. Is there any way of automating this? | 20:32 |
| DaemonicApathy | thufir_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without_CD | 20:32 |
| Dantevios | np bizhanMona | 20:32 |
| ParkerM | can someone help me disable network connection manager? I believe it's preventing me from booting, and editing the conf file/moving it didnt work. | 20:33 |
| Monotoko2 | allohak: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00715.html | 20:33 |
| thufir_ | DaemonicApathy: thanks | 20:33 |
| DaemonicApathy | klpkt: going through the sound portion of the system settings saves the value, in my ecperience | 20:33 |
| DaemonicApathy | thufir_: any time. | 20:33 |
| allohak | Monotoko2: Much thanks | 20:33 |
| kriskropd | ParkerM: it doesn't sound like thats preventing you from booting, nor should it any ways" | 20:34 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerM: does N-M have an entry in /etc/init/ (NOT init.d!)? | 20:34 |
| Monotoko2 | allohak: no problem :) | 20:34 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerM: i also doubt that's the real issue, perhaps a 1 minute wait to try and find a dhcp server? are you sure it doesn't boot if you leave it long enough? | 20:34 |
| klpkt | DaemonicApathy, Well, the problem is that the value that is wrong is the Speaker value, which I can modify in alsamixer, but each time I reconnect the headphones, it goes down to 0. | 20:34 |
| thufir_ | after I install Ubuntu onto the second hard drive as well as the first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without_CD will grub pick up both? | 20:35 |
| nixiedoesalpine | some of the websites are not opening in ubuntu 12.04.1 | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | nixiedoesalpine: what browser? what sites? | 20:36 |
| paco_ | hi how can I add KDE desktop to my ubuntu 12.04?? | 20:36 |
| nixiedoesalpine | 20:36 | |
| Dantevios | ParkerM: follow this tutorial http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-manage-services-with-update-rc.d | 20:36 |
| ParkerM | yes there's an entry in /init/, and it doesn't boot after like 30 minutes so i assume not | 20:36 |
| Dantevios | the service you want to disable is network-manager | 20:36 |
| paco_ | no kubuntu add the desktop | 20:36 |
| nixiedoesalpine | am using chromium | 20:36 |
| ParkerM | ok ill try that | 20:36 |
| nixiedoesalpine | paco do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 20:36 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerM: moving the /init/foo.whatever to /init/foo.whatever.DISABLED should disable the service. | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | paco_, yes install kubuntu-desktop | 20:37 |
| DaemonicApathy | thufir_: I would update the grub after you're done with the install, then restart to find out. | 20:37 |
| Dantevios | ParkerM: you're going to have to manage your own ip though through /etc/network/interfaces though if you do that | 20:37 |
| paco_ | nixiedoesalpine, no kubuntu, the KDE by it self | 20:37 |
| ParkerM | yeah i saw that in one of the google results | 20:37 |
| paco_ | BluesKaj, no kubuntu, the KDE by it self | 20:37 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: fyi installing kubuntu-desktop as apposed to just the correct KDE package will install A LOT more stuff. | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | you need kubuntu-desktop | 20:37 |
| nixiedoesalpine | paco do pacman -S kde lulz | 20:37 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: I think you will still need to update your current grub install to let it know there is a second ubuntu install on the other disk | 20:37 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: kubuntu-desktop is the EASIEST answer for sure. | 20:38 |
| paco_ | zykotick9, but is a little different it used to be apt-get kde core | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | paco_, unless you just want kde versions of some apps | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: use "apt-cache search kde" and find the correct name then... | 20:38 |
| nixiedoesalpine | eh guys most of the websites are not opening in ubuntu 12.04.1 | 20:38 |
| thufir_ | thanks kriskropd and daemonicapathay | 20:38 |
| paco_ | zykotick9, thanks! | 20:38 |
| nixiedoesalpine | i have dual boot windows internet is fine | 20:38 |
| nixiedoesalpine | what is wrong with ubuntu | 20:39 |
| kriskropd | thufir_: also if you add a new grub install to the other disk, whichever disk is booted to first in the bios will have the grub that needs to be updated | 20:39 |
| DaemonicApathy | nixiedoesalpine: It sounds like your network settings aren't quite right. | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: fyi - i didn't include sudo for a reason, it isn't required with apt-cache (many people are unaware of that) | 20:39 |
| nixiedoesalpine | i did use sudo pppoeconf | 20:39 |
| nixiedoesalpine | same problem | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | s/are/aren't/ | 20:39 |
| nixiedoesalpine | some websites not opening | 20:39 |
| klpkt | DaemonicApathy: Do you know how to fix it? | 20:40 |
| kriskropd | nixiedoesalpine: web sites? ubuntu doesnt view websites xD | 20:40 |
| zykotick9 | unware - nevermind. ;) | 20:40 |
| nixiedoesalpine | yea | 20:40 |
| nixiedoesalpine | facebook is also not loading | 20:40 |
| turtle_ | nixiedoesalpine, have you tried firefox? or a different browser? | 20:40 |
| DaemonicApathy | klpkt: Sorry, no. I use a usb headset, which saves settings as a completely different device. | 20:40 |
| nixiedoesalpine | yep | 20:40 |
| nixiedoesalpine | opera also same | 20:40 |
| nixiedoesalpine | google is loading extremely slow | 20:40 |
| kriskropd | nixiedoesalpine: are you sure you are connected to the internet? can you 'ping google.com' in a shell and get a response? | 20:41 |
| guntbert | !enter | nixiedoesalpine | 20:41 |
| nixiedoesalpine | yea | 20:41 |
| ubottu | nixiedoesalpine: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:41 |
| nixiedoesalpine | 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2001ms | 20:41 |
| kriskropd | nixiedoesalpine: 2001ms, oh my | 20:41 |
| Monotoko2 | so no-one can help me disable DHCP when connection sharing? | 20:41 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, what about like a speed test like a ping sweep to google and a traceroute ? | 20:42 |
| ParkerM | zykotick9: that worked, thanks for the help. I was in the wrong folder | 20:42 |
| paco_ | zykotick9, if I do apt-get install kubuntu desktop do I have to specify for 64 bit?? | 20:42 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: NO | 20:42 |
| Dantevios | Monotoko2: you just want to turn off dhcp in ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, Ouch ! | 20:42 |
| mac_12 | I'd like to disable daemon like zeitgeist (i run ubuntu 12.04)at every start | 20:42 |
| Dantevios | Monotoko2: and assign yourself a static IP? | 20:42 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: My laptop is connected to the ethernet... I'd like to connect my iPhone to the wifi, which I can do but it uses DHCP | 20:42 |
| nixiedoesalpine | what to do | 20:42 |
| paco_ | let me do test that and if I do not like it I just do the other and unistall thanks zykotick9 | 20:42 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, when did this trouble start ? | 20:43 |
| kriskropd | nixiedoesalpine: try 'tracepath google.com' that will show you all the nodes it has to jump to communicate between servers, ti should tell you where most of your time is getting eaten at | 20:43 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, can you please give a little more detail thanks | 20:43 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: kde = sparkle vomit IMO (heaviest of all DEs as far a resources) | 20:43 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: stupid university internet... I need the iPhone to have an IP from the actual DHCP server rather than my laptop | 20:43 |
| Dantevios | so you setup a wirless access point on your laptop Monotoko2 and you're trying to install a DHCP server on it to serve your IPhone an IP address? | 20:43 |
| nixiedoesalpine | live cd internet is fine when i nstall to hard disk it is extremrly slow | 20:44 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: nah... the laptop is assigning the iPhone a 169 address... when I need it to get the 10. address from the ethernet | 20:44 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, this is wireless only ? | 20:44 |
| nixiedoesalpine | if i reboot and enter livecd and do dsl in networkmanager everything is fine | 20:44 |
| nixiedoesalpine | adsl | 20:44 |
| nixiedoesalpine | username password | 20:44 |
| paco_ | zykotick9, what does that mean?? | 20:44 |
| nixiedoesalpine | wired | 20:45 |
| Dantevios | Monotoko2: why don't you just set yourself an IP on the school network in the 10. range statically on your iphone and use the schools DNS? | 20:45 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: I have.... it doesn't work | 20:45 |
| paco_ | what was the command to install kubuntu again?? | 20:45 |
| Dantevios | so the problem isn't with ubuntu connecting to your school network, the problem is you can't get the school's DHCP server to serve your IPhone an IP address correct Monotoko2 ? | 20:45 |
| nixiedoesalpine | btw i also tried 12.10 beta 1 same problem live mode internet is fine when i install to hard disk this problem arises | 20:45 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, again is this Wireless Only ? | 20:46 |
| nixiedoesalpine | nope | 20:46 |
| nixiedoesalpine | adsl-pppoe | 20:46 |
| mac_12 | I'd like to disable daemon like zeitgeist (i run ubuntu 12.04)at every start | 20:46 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: correct, when I connect it to the laptop it wants to serve it a 169 address, even if I override it statically | 20:46 |
| Monotoko2 | (then it just doesn't work at all) | 20:46 |
| nixiedoesalpine | driver is r8169 | 20:46 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: nothing. disregard. best of luck! | 20:46 |
| paco_ | zykotick9, what is the command again? | 20:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | mac_12: http://askubuntu.com/questions/45548/disabling-zeitgeist | 20:47 |
| Dantevios | how is your IPhone connected to your laptop Monotoko2 ? through usb? | 20:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | I prefer Izzy's solution. | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | paco_: "apt-cache search kde" then "sudo apt-get install FOO" | 20:47 |
| bjorkintosh | is there a tool for configuring unity? | 20:47 |
| nixiedoesalpine | is this kernel issue ? | 20:47 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, what is the cards ? please open your terminal and enter in lspci -nn then pastebin the output of that then lsmod and pastebin the output of that also thanks | 20:47 |
| bjorkintosh | i don't like the 'effects. | 20:47 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: network sharing... I'm connected to the ethernet, then I tried to connect the iPhone to the wifi... can I connect it to the 'net via USB? | 20:47 |
| bjorkintosh | correction. i don't need the "effects". | 20:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | bjorkintosh: MyUnity or gnome-tweak-tool | 20:47 |
| bjorkintosh | ah okay. thanks. | 20:48 |
| DaemonicApathy | You could also use compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:48 |
| bobweaver | or dconf editor | 20:48 |
| nixiedoesalpine | bobweaver http://pastebin.com/JNG9Ueen | 20:48 |
| bjorkintosh | so compiz is what exactly? | 20:49 |
| bobweaver | thanks nixiedoesalpine that was fast for no internet speeds | 20:49 |
| bjorkintosh | the 'thing' behind unity, is it? | 20:49 |
| VlanZ | hey there, how do i check the current directory for upload/download on atftpd? | 20:49 |
| nixiedoesalpine | am on live cd | 20:49 |
| Dantevios | Monotoko2: I'm just not understanding your setup Monotoko2. The school has wifi, your laptop is connected to the school network via ethernet. How are you trying to add your IPhone to the network, and what does it have to do with ubuntu specifically? I'm just confused at what you're trying to do here. | 20:49 |
| zykotick9 | bobweaver: fyi, for hybrid cards i "believe" -v is required for lspci to show both. just pointin' out. | 20:49 |
| nixiedoesalpine | i am in live cd mode | 20:49 |
| bobweaver | ahh thanks to the both of you | 20:50 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: the school only has ethernet... I've turned my laptop into a wifi point (using an ad-hoc network: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing) and Ubuntu is assigning me a 169 address | 20:50 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, did you pastebin the output of lsmod ? | 20:50 |
| Monotoko2 | rather than the "upstream" 10. address | 20:50 |
| bjorkintosh | bloody hell. compiz crashed it. | 20:50 |
| hilo | guntbert: no beans still, the command shows only 640x480 and 800x600 as available resolutions | 20:50 |
| kriskropd | Dantevios: it sounds like hes just trying to adhoc the schools network and turn his laptop into an access point | 20:50 |
| Monotoko2 | kriskropd: correct :) | 20:51 |
| nixiedoesalpine | http://pastebin.com/QiW0n49G lsmod bob | 20:51 |
| zykotick9 | bjorkintosh: you should have gotten a warning, CCSM can break Unity. | 20:51 |
| kriskropd | Monotoko2: you need to specify, as an access point, for any devices that connect to your wireless point to get their ip fromt he school dns | 20:51 |
| bobweaver | thanks nixiedoesalpine | 20:51 |
| bjorkintosh | zykotick9, i did get a warning. | 20:51 |
| zykotick9 | bjorkintosh: ok, perfect. | 20:51 |
| kriskropd | Monotoko2: give me a moment and ill bring more | 20:51 |
| Monotoko2 | kriskropd: thank you | 20:51 |
| bjorkintosh | but how often do warnings keep you from reaching for a screwdriver? | 20:51 |
| guntbert | hilo: sorry then, I never tried it myself, the google result looked promising - how about you try with a different server? | 20:52 |
| DaemonicApathy | Depends on how the warning is phrased. | 20:52 |
| wN | bjorkintosh: i guess it would depend on the warning | 20:52 |
| bobweaver | !bug 1019669 | nixiedoesalpine sound like a hit ? same card | 20:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1019669 in linux (Ubuntu) "10ec:8168 WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-3.2.0/net/sched/sch_generic.c:255 dev_watchdog+0x25a/0x270()" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1019669 | 20:52 |
| bjorkintosh | "warning: shock hazard. no user serviceable parts". | 20:52 |
| mac_12 | DaemonicApathy: thank you | 20:52 |
| DaemonicApathy | No problem. | 20:52 |
| nixiedoesalpine | aww | 20:53 |
| hilo | guntbert: The issue isn't vnc actually, its that I can't set the resolution higher than 800x600 locally, and in turn, since VNC is just a mirror of the Xscreen, I can't get higher resolutions on the vnc session either | 20:53 |
| Dantevios | Did you do the advanced configuration where you installed dnsmasq Monotoko2 ? | 20:53 |
| nixiedoesalpine | can i see the bug ? | 20:53 |
| DaemonicApathy | No worries, bjorkintosh - my mother once told me I'm grounded. | 20:53 |
| bjorkintosh | haha. | 20:53 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: no... can you take me through it? I litterally just enabled network sharing the GUI way | 20:53 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, launchpad.net/bugs/1019669 | 20:53 |
| nixiedoesalpine | aaah | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | bjorkintosh: "No user serviceable parts inside" makes a hell of a lot of assumptions about the user | 20:54 |
| Dantevios | which version of ubuntu are you using Monotoko2 ? | 20:54 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: 12.04 | 20:54 |
| nixiedoesalpine | any chance of getting this solved in 12.10 coz 12.10 beta 1 same problem bobweaver? | 20:54 |
| DaemonicApathy | gordonjcp: No it doesn't, it just means you have to move the parts outside first. | 20:54 |
| fippo | Hi, is it possible to install a 3.2 mainline kernel into lucid | 20:54 |
| guntbert | hilo: as I said I have very limited experience in this realm, but I thought that xvnc doesn't even need a local video card | 20:54 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, I would 100% say that you should look at this also http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1964451.html | 20:55 |
| bobweaver | nixiedoesalpine, for everything above 12.04 we use the channel #ubuntu+1 | 20:55 |
| Dantevios | are you sure if your wireless card can act as an access point Monotoko2 ? like can you actually see the SSID you setup from your IPhone? | 20:55 |
| fippo | Unfortunately I'm not directly connected with the new pc to the internet and I'm using a pen drive to load the debs | 20:56 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: I'm sure, it just won't connect to it (: it recieves a 169 IP address from the access point | 20:56 |
| Dantevios | because I remember when I was doing wireless security research there were only a few pcmcia cards I looked at that supported being used as a WAP | 20:56 |
| Monotoko2 | Dantevios: it appears as "KatieLaptop" | 20:56 |
| Monotoko2 | on the iPhone | 20:56 |
| Dantevios | hrmm i'll be back in 10 and ponder it some more Monotoko2 | 20:57 |
| fippo | Also I'm on a slow link, but I think I will need a newer kernel to get the sata controller working (intel panther point) | 20:57 |

| Monotoko2 | kriskropd: no problem... I would call myself a ubuntu veterin, and I've just hit a wall here | 21:01 |
| kriskropd | Monotoko2: if it is really adhoc, then it should be bridging over to the eth0 and using that dns O.o | 21:01 |

| Froward | ugh, man | 21:26 |
| Froward | I switched to gnumeric in the first place because openoffice DELETED the original spreadsheet | 21:26 |

| jrib | :x | 22:00 |
| jrib | JainAmber: I'm not even sure what exactly you mean by the "if" clause in your statement | 22:01 |
| WeThePeople | domincii_, try to find system administration | 22:02 |
| JainAmber | jrib, I can use simple 'cp' to copy files from current directory to /var/cache/apt/archives but then it won't check if packages are for same ubuntu version/arch which is installed on this machine.... | 22:02 |
| JainAmber | jrib, These debs were copied either from another system's /var/cache/apt/archives, downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com OR downloaded using Synaptics' "Generate package download script"... | 22:02 |
| Domincii_ | As in System Settings? | 22:02 |
| jrib | JainAmber: so what's the issue with just having apt download them again? | 22:03 |
| wabash | Helllo. So, my ubuntu shows all the partitions on my machine, and the user can mount any of them. I actually want to make them non-user-mountable. How do I do that? | 22:03 |
| Dr_willis | or use an apt-cacher-ng server on the lan to cache all the debs.... | 22:03 |
| jrib | yes | 22:04 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, you mean all the 'windows' partitions? | 22:04 |
| jrib | JainAmber: maybe I just don't understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish | 22:04 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: Anything. Yes, windows, but also other linux partitions. | 22:04 |
| WeThePeople | domincii_, yeah look for hardware drivers | 22:04 |

| Dr_willis | wabash, i dont recall it letting users mount ext 2/3/4 by default without roots password. | 22:05 |
| JainAmber | jrib, this is for a small college lab. In developing countries, network connections are slow (30-50kbps). Moreover, this small college lab is part of 'parent' university network and I have no control over university's network (which can go down anytime thanks to crap admins). | 22:05 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: Ok, well it is. So, do you have a suggestion as to how to block a partition from being mounted? | 22:05 |
| Froward | nggggh. I can't sync my /home folder to ubuntu one, because it overlaps with the default Ubuntu One folder. And I can't unsync the ubuntu one folder! | 22:05 |
| wabash | (through nautilus, I believe...) | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, for ntfs theres the ntfs-config tool that can tweak the settings.. Not sure about the others.. normal ext2/3/4 permissions and ownership would apply even if they are mounted | 22:06 |
| Froward | And my ctrl+shift+escape shortcut that I set for the task manager won't work, so now I can't even kill the dumbass ubuntu one program that froze! | 22:06 |
| t4nk146 | anyone? | 22:06 |
| jrib | JainAmber: so you don't want to use apt-cacher because the network is flaky? | 22:07 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: Well, I want to prevent them from being mounted. Any ideas? | 22:07 |
| jagginess | wabash, tricky.. i havent fully been able to edit a dbus policy -- but if you want to have all the ntfs harddrives not to "automount" then you may get the usb drives to not automount as well if you do this-- (simply move out a dbus mount rule from /etc/xdg/autostart if there's one, don't delete, but move it out, be very selective) | 22:07 |
| nmvs__Oh | alguien de chile | 22:07 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, its the gnome services that are doing it i imagine. check askubuntu.com yet? looking there now.. | 22:07 |
| === t4nk146 is now known as kelly | ||
| wabash | jagginess: thanks for the reply. But small misunderstanding. These are ext4 partitions, and the user can mount by clicking a menu item. I want to make the mount policy so that users can't mount. But these drives aren't even listed in fstab. | 22:08 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: I'll take a look there. Interesting, have not seen it before. Thank you for looking too... | 22:08 |
| jagginess | wabash, it's the same rule policy, try finding it | 22:09 |
| jagginess | wabash, it would be in /etc/xdg/autostart | 22:09 |
| Aelingil | Froward: Is the Ubuntu running in the background? / Can you access Terminal? | 22:09 |
| jagginess | wabash, sorry i bummed this.. it's in /etc/dbus-1/system.d | 22:10 |
| wabash | jagginess: Hm. Looking there too. I see lots of stuff about apps, but nothing about mounting. Any suggestion? | 22:10 |
| wabash | ok, looking there then. | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, some of the related questions seem to suggest mounting them somewhere else :) or use a fstab entry with noauto, if theres a fstab entry then nautilus ignores them (or so it says) | 22:10 |
| jagginess | wabash, it may* be /etc//dbus-1/system.d/Mountall.Server.conf | 22:10 |
| DaemonicApathy | Froward: as far as I know, escape doesn't work well with shortcuts - so my system monitor is ctrl-shift-Q instead. | 22:10 |
| kelly51 | hi need some help? | 22:10 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: ah, so it's 'default allow' instead of 'default deny'? I'll have to put an explicit entry for each drive t oblock? | 22:10 |
| jagginess | wabash, i feel it may be more this one-> /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.UDisks.conf | 22:11 |
| jagginess | wabash, simply move that one out, and relogin :) | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | 0 down vote | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | 22:11 | |
| Dr_willis | By adding the volumes to /etc/fstab you can make sure that they don't show up on the desktop | 22:11 |
| jagginess | wabash, as for usb drives autodetection, you can try to make a .conf dbus rule for that.. but i wouldn't know how to | 22:11 |
| jagginess | Dr_willis, it's dbus. | 22:12 |
| jrib | kelly51: hi, to help you, we need you to ask a question ;) | 22:12 |
| wabash | jagginess: Interesting. | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | im just skimming the askubuntu.com suggestions. ;) | 22:12 |
| jrib | aww | 22:12 |
| jagginess | wabash, did it work? (move the *udisks.conf file) | 22:12 |
| wabash | jagginess: Wow, how complicated. But that will mess up my flash drives too... right? | 22:12 |
| JainAmber | jrib, Nevermind. I think "sudo dpkg -iR directory" is what will fulfill my needs. Thanks! | 22:12 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: That may be what I have to do.... | 22:12 |
| jagginess | wabash, well i'm not sure on that.. but that's why you'll need to know how to make a dbus rule file | 22:12 |
| jagginess | wabash, maybe if you study that udisks.conf file it might give a hint | 22:13 |
| wabash | jagginess: Right! wow, a lot t olearn just to manage a drive permission. | 22:13 |
| jrib | JainAmber: ok | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | some suggestions are to mount the things you dont want see to some where other then /media/ that wont affect the hot plug devices | 22:13 |
| JainAmber | To be specific, I didn't knew about dpkg's -R option. Now with -Ri combo, dpkg will search specified directory for .deb files and install them. | 22:13 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: You mean have a mount point specified in fstab? | 22:13 |
| jagginess | wabash, it's dbus stuff.. and dbus documentation on this is still crappy imho (this was back a few months ago.. maybe someone spiced up a doc about it( | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, thats what they say. | 22:13 |
| JainAmber | It seems RTFM trick works! :D | 22:13 |
| HazRPG | hey all \o anyone here have experience getting arabic subtitles to work on xbmc? | 22:13 |
| jagginess | wabash, /etc/fstab doesnt help. because it's dbus. | 22:14 |
| wabash | jagginess: I see. | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, if its in fstab., and not mounted it nautiluys/dbus may ignore it. is what im reading. one way to find out. | 22:14 |
| jrib | JainAmber: right, but you're still copying the debs all over the place instead of just using apt; seems strange | 22:14 |
| jagginess | , /etc/fstab isn't user land.. | 22:14 |
| wabash | jagginess: I feel Ubu has gone downhill...... It's trying to be iPhone, yet I have not an iPhone on my desk.... | 22:14 |
| jagginess | wabash, dbus isnt tied to ubuntu only.. in fact it's why linux is getting better :) | 22:14 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: That's worth a try. jagginess: well, what he's saying is that fstab may be consulted by dbus. | 22:15 |
| wabash | jagginess: Sure, but where's the docs? | 22:15 |
| jagginess | wabash, dunno | 22:15 |
| wabash | jagginess: Exactly! | 22:15 |

| wabash | Dr_willis: jagginess: thank you both. going to try something. | 22:15 |
| jrib | JainAmber: I don't know the details, but couldn't you just create an install image with the packages you want already, and then install from that? Might be useful to have for the future at least | 22:15 |
| JainAmber | jrib, yes, the best way to do this is to use 'apt-cacher' which I'll do asap. I'm a bit busy atm to be able to look into this (I'm volunteer student helping setup the lab). | 22:15 |
| johnnna | sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP | 22:15 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: reading that now. | 22:16 |
| ippo | I'm trying to downgrade glade 3.12 to 3.8, how can I do it? | 22:16 |
| Dr_willis | that last one mentions fstab and udeb | 22:16 |
| Dr_willis | udev | 22:16 |
| jrib | JainAmber: ah! Now I understand. | 22:16 |
| JainAmber | jrib, yea, creating an install image is another good idea. But I guess apt-cacher is the best solution since all we need to do is download package once on apt-cacher server. And, all other PCs on LAN can then get package from local server (if they have LAN apt-cacher server in sources.list). | 22:17 |
| jagginess | wabash, yeah you can try that udev.. hopefully that'll prevent dbus from using those internal hdd's.. | 22:17 |
| Dr_willis | apt-cacher is handy. :) | 22:17 |
| write | does anyone know how to uninstal the proprietary driver and install an open source one ? ... | 22:18 |
| bekks | jagginess: sudo iptables -P INPUT ALLOW | 22:18 |
| JainAmber | Because with install images I'll need to create a new install image every time I need to upgrade systems... But with apt-cacher, it's like: Do once and forget about it! :) | 22:18 |
| bekks | johnnna: sudo iptables -P INPUT ALLOW | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis | write, driver for what? | 22:18 |
| write | Dr_willis: for AMD Radeon 6290 ... my netbook runs really bad right now cause of it | 22:19 |
| JainAmber | And, slow network speed won't be a issue when using 'apt-cacher' since systems need to fetch packages from LAN server.... | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis | write, that 'additional-drivers' tool should let you enable/disable the fglrx driver. | 22:20 |
| EyePulp | howdy - recently upgraded a box to 12.04 LTS. I usually use it via ssh & command line, but finally hooked up a monitor to use the desktop. The desktop doesn't seem to accept the password for the same user account I can ssh into. I've reset that account's passwd (over ssh) too, but doesn't seem to fix it. Any thoughts? | 22:20 |

| hvq | Thanx | 22:20 |
| Dr_willis | EyePulp, what happens exactly when you try to login? | 22:20 |
| JainAmber | Lack of time to setup server is the only thing which is keeping me from getting my hands dirty with apt-cacher. In fact, I plan to use server as apt-cacher, dhcp server, transparent proxy server etc. | 22:21 |
| Dr_willis | write, run the additional-drivers tool from the menus, or run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' to disable the fglrx driver. | 22:21 |
| wabash | jagginess: Dr_willis: Ok, interesting. I added an explicit line to fstab with a mount policy of 'nouser', and fstype of 'auto'. Real simple, bare-bones, yes? And immediately upon saving my edits to fstab, the partition is gone from the nautilus menu! Hooray!!!! | 22:21 |

| jagginess | wabash, the thing is if you reboot, the devivemap may be different.. | 22:22 |
| wabash | JainAmber: You have 2 ladies names! | 22:22 |

| Dr_willis | EyePulp, you ARE logging in. :) but its crashing. | 22:22 |

| jagginess | wabash, (use the UUID if you can, even for ntfs partitions you can list the uuid's) | 22:23 |
| wabash | JainAmber: I know that. Was just being facetious. | 22:23 |
| JainAmber | :D | 22:23 |
| wabash | jagginess: How do I get the UUID? | 22:23 |
| Dr_willis | EyePulp, i see people say simielr things about 'cant login' a dozen times a day when in fact its some Settings in their home causing the desktop to fail to load. | 22:23 |

| jagginess | wabash, no.. but /dev/sda may become /dev/sdb if you turn on the computer with a usb stick plugged in | 22:24 |
| wabash | jagginess: How can that happen? Won't the device numbedrs be part of the partition table? | 22:24 |
| wabash | jagginess: Ah, gotcha!!!! | 22:24 |
| jagginess | wabash, it happens sometimes.. | 22:24 |
| bekks | wabash: No. | 22:24 |
| bekks | Device information is never part of the partition table. | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis | wabash, ive seen 'sda' be whatever usb ive booted from. then the rest go behind it. | 22:24 |
| wabash | jagginess: Good idea. So, blkid will give me UUID, and UUID is guaranteed to be the same all the time, for every os and boot? | 22:24 |
| EyePulp | Dr_willis: I'm in via ssh - what should I google for to start resetting? | 22:24 |
| jagginess | wabash, y | 22:24 |
| EyePulp | or is there a log to look @? | 22:25 |
| wabash | bekks: But wont the number be part? eg., sda4 is always '4'? | 22:25 |
| JainAmber | jrib, evil me is now going to create a few pendrives with all packages and 'dpkg -iR' script and hand them to ubuntu-newbie junior assistants. They'll need to manually run the script on all computers! ;) | 22:25 |
| turtle_ | EyePulp, could it be really simple like keyboard layout | 22:25 |
| Dr_willis | EyePulp, you could make a backup directory and move the .gconf* and .config* and other dirs to it untill you figure out what setting is causing the issue.. also check the .Xauthority file. it sometiomes gets owned by root. when it should be oened by the user. | 22:25 |
| turtle_ | any symbols in your password? | 22:25 |
| bekks | wabash: thats a content of the partition table, not some entity of the device. | 22:25 |
| Dr_willis | EyePulp, i tend to just move all the dirs i know are unity/gnome related to a backup dir. and redo my desktop :) | 22:26 |
| jagginess | wabash, the uuid's are stored in the filesystem header.. | 22:26 |
| Dr_willis | bbl. | 22:26 |
| wabash | bekks: Yep, that's what I was saying. | 22:26 |
| wabash | Dr_willis: Thank you for your help | 22:26 |

| wabash | jagginess: re: tabs in fstab. Should be tab delimited, yes? | 22:27 |

| jagginess | wabash, there's x avenues approaches.. glad it worked.. i think i'll use your method if i have to.. i hope a tool comes out that can graphically do this | 22:27 |

| rawsted | thanks DaemonicApathy, fellas | 22:46 |
| AlexO | DaemonicApathy: Thanks for that, but I'm getting error like /var/cache/apt... like apt-get is trying to install those pakage on my "real" system | 22:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | You need to run those from within the chroot. | 22:46 |
| AlexO | I know :/ | 22:46 |
| WeThePeople | :\ | 22:47 |
| myersg | I don't know... | 22:47 |
| ldlework | If when I plug ethernet into my ethernet port, I never get an IP, but wireless works fine, what might be going on? | 22:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | Also, you don't want advice from me when it comes to chroots. | 22:47 |
| AlexO | DaemonicApathy: ok ^ | 22:47 |
| AlexO | ^^" | 22:47 |
| jagginess | ldlework, that your ethernet port doesnt like you :) | 22:47 |
| myersg | Now, I disabled network boot, and it is saying: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key | 22:47 |
| ldlework | jagginess: is there anyway I can determine for sure it is a physical problem? | 22:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | Last time I tried to delete a chroot, it took my home foder with it. | 22:47 |

| jagginess | ldlework, the data-link, mii-tool eth0 may show if there's link speed | 22:48 |
| tfittsy | is there any possible setting in ubuntu that would cause my network speed to max out around 40-60K/s? It's a hosted server and the other one I have gets around 1000K/s | 22:48 |
| myersg | It started this when I tryed to install PC-BSD | 22:48 |
| jagginess | tfittsy, no | 22:48 |
| tfittsy | I didn't think so | 22:48 |
| bekks | jagginess: Thats not true. | 22:49 |
| ldlework | jagginess: eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok | 22:49 |
| jagginess | tfittsy, try the ss tool, see if its a cable issue | 22:49 |
| genii-around | AlexO: Basically step 2 from here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1156240.html | 22:49 |
| bekks | Technically, you can use QoS to throttle bandwidth. | 22:49 |
| jagginess | yeah.. but he's not using it | 22:49 |
| colo993 | idlework - if you do an ifconfig -a is your ethernet port running? | 22:49 |
| ldlework | colo993: I don't know what you mean by running, but eth0 shows up in that list yeah | 22:50 |
| ldlework | that's the place I check to see if I have an ip on eth0 and I never get one | 22:50 |
| jagginess | ldlework, when you ping things, you lose packets? | 22:50 |
| === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap | ||
| bekks | colo993: Without a working network connection he wouldnt have a bandwidth issue ;) | 22:50 |
| jagginess | ldlework, try tracert <your isp> | 22:50 |
| ldlework | jagginess: yeah no network activity ever | 22:50 |
| jagginess | ldlework, try traceroute <your isp> | 22:50 |
| colo993 | in the list look for "running". You should also see "running" on your wireless interface | 22:50 |
| jagginess | ldlework, you mean "ping" says what errors? | 22:51 |
| genii-around | IdleOne: If you don't have traceroute installed, use the default tracepath instead | 22:51 |
| colo993 | "running" is an indication of connectivity. | 22:51 |
| bekks | colo993: "running" means nothing, it has to be "up". | 22:51 |
| ldlework | colo993: it doesn't say running | 22:51 |
| AlexO | genii-around: in fact I'm trying to do a chroot over sshfs, I still need to do these step? | 22:51 |
| colo993 | up and running...:) | 22:51 |
| bekks | colo993: running is no indicator for a connection at all. | 22:51 |
| ldlework | but it does say up | 22:51 |
| ldlework | it says up, but not running | 22:51 |
| colo993 | That would explain why you are not getting an IP. | 22:51 |
| ldlework | colo993: the key to the mystery (read: misery) is? | 22:52 |
| jagginess | AlertEye, makes no difference if you did a root login over ssh than doing a "chroot over sshfs" even if you can. | 22:52 |
| jagginess | Alex0, ^ | 22:52 |
| colo993 | If the interface is up it indicates it is seeing a link...however...you may have cabling or speed/duplex issues.... | 22:53 |
| bekks | colo993: Wrong. | 22:53 |
| colo993 | yes.... | 22:53 |
| doxa | hello how can ı move bars in x? ıjust ınstalled ubuntu :) | 22:53 |
| bekks | "Up" indicates means that the interface is configured to be working, but does not indicate a link. | 22:53 |
| bekks | -means | 22:54 |
| jagginess | ldlework, what "error"? (for ping) | 22:54 |
| colo993 | True... | 22:54 |
| colo993 | Sorry for the confusion. | 22:54 |
| bekks | colo993: So neither "up" nor "running" indicate a link at all. | 22:54 |
| jagginess | ldlework, you mean you don't even get a dhcp ip address? | 22:54 |
| jagginess | nm | 22:54 |
| WeThePeople | doxa, what is x | 22:55 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople X is the graphical interface | 22:55 |
| colo993 | So the interface is "up"...but not running. A physical layer issue.... | 22:55 |
| WeThePeople | ahh xorg | 22:55 |
| colo993 | cabling....speed...or duplex... | 22:56 |

| jagginess | WeThePeople, wayland is a new coming X, hopefully it'll be better than xorg and completely open source | 22:57 |
| genii-around | AlexO: If you can ssh into the machine you want to run the apt-get command on I'm not sure why you don't just run it that way. I'm not sure where this sshfs part is coming in. | 22:57 |
| bekks | jagginess: X is opensource too. | 22:57 |
| === Gapit is now known as Gabit | ||
| WeThePeople | jagginess, so thats what #wayland is for, sweet | 22:57 |
| bekks | jagginess: There is no single part in X which isnt open source. | 22:57 |
| jagginess | bekks, well there's proprietary drivers that work with X, hopefully wayland has no proprietary parts | 22:57 |
| jagginess | feels like i'm talking to no-waylanders | 22:58 |
| jagginess | lol | 22:58 |
| bekks | jagginess: 3rd party drivers never were part of X and hove NO impact on X being open source or not. | 22:58 |
| bekks | Ans wayland WILL be able to use 3rd party drivers for the sake of usability and not turning back the clock for 30 years. | 22:59 |
| AlexO | genii-around: in fact it's a virtual machine who can't reach internet but Host and Guest can ssh each other and I need to Install some pakage on my guest ... | 22:59 |
| jagginess | well xfree86 license changed.. it was a commercial avenue, hence why xorg forked | 22:59 |
| zerowaitstate | actually, making drivers top-secret is the definition of turning the clock back 30 years | 23:00 |
| bekks | jagginess: And it happened... decades ago? And xfree86 isnt used for how long exactly nowadays...? :) | 23:00 |
| jagginess | and xfree86 didnt come out 30 years ago either. | 23:00 |
| genii-around | AlexO: So why not scp the deb files over and use dpkg -i ? | 23:00 |
| bekks | jagginess: So nowadays, the Xorg implementation is open source and has no closed source parts. And it allows the usage of 3rd party drivers. Sounds like a good thing, even on second glance. | 23:01 |

| Dr_willis | unity panel cant go to the bottom.. so that parts done... ;) | 23:16 |

| c4ptotc | genii-around, no it doesnt not turn it on either | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | alusion, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' lets you change them later if you want | 23:17 |
| alusion | What would you recommend Dr_willis ? :) | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | alusion, flip a coin... | 23:17 |
| c4ptotc | genii-around, but when i use crtl - alt - L it gets disconnected | 23:17 |
| c4ptotc | genii-around, to lock the screen | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | alusion, change them every other day if you want. it dosent really matter. | 23:18 |

| doxa | yea it seems ı have to use ıt lıke that 4 a tıme | 23:22 |
| chovynz | doxa: you dont need the unity menu down the base. it works well as it is on the side. do you REALLY need to change it? | 23:23 |
